Tonight on The UnWoke Show Tim and Rich discuss one of the most volatile weeks in recent memory, the geopolitical landscape has been upended by two simultaneous crises. On one side of the globe, the Iranian government is facing its most significant domestic challenge in years as nationwide protests over economic collapse and inflation turn into a "political confrontation" against the regime. Meanwhile, in South America, a dramatic and unprecedented U.S. military operation—Operation Absolute Resolve—has resulted in the capture of Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro and his wife, Cilia Flores, dragging them to a New York courtroom to face narco-terrorism charges.
