Monday on CNN's "News Central," Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz (D-FL) said the United States "swapped one head of the snake for another" by removing Nicolás Maduro and allowing his vice president Delcy Rodriguez to become the interim president.

The hosts of "The View" offered a wide spectrum of responses to the arrest of Venezuelan dictator Nicolás Maduro by U.S. forces.
Maduro was captured at his home in Caracas and flown out of the country alongside his wife in a daring mission on Saturday evening. On Monday, he pleaded "not guilty" in a court in New York City.
'I think you can still celebrate that this murderous, corrupt, sadistic son of a b***h is out of Venezuela!'
Some on the left have criticized the Trump administration for the manner in which the operation was conducted. Sunny Hostin offered her critique on Monday's episode of the talk show.
"Isn't anyone concerned about the fact that what we're doing is almost piracy? It's like imperialism," said Hostin, who claimed that the president violated international law.
"We're going to another country, and we're taking their natural resources for ourselves," she added. "And on top of it, if we can do something like this, who is to say that Vladimir Putin, then, doesn't go to Ukraine and arrest Zelenskyy?"
Hostin was referring to statements President Donald Trump made about seizing oil tankers from Venezuela and returning oil drilling assets that had been seized by the communist government and nationalized. She pointed out that Venezuela has control of nearly 20% of the world's oil reserves, more even than Saudi Arabia.
Ana Navarro, however, said she was full of joy that Maduro's reign was over and said Venezuelans and Cubans in south Florida were overjoyed about the arrest.
"For us, this is a very, very happy day when we see a dictator who has been part of oppressing and abusing the Venezuelan people for 25 years, when we see him in handcuffs and held to some sort of accountability, it brought me to tears," Navarro said. "It brought me great joy."
She added, "I think you can still celebrate that this murderous, corrupt, sadistic son of a bitch is out of Venezuela!"

Maduro is facing charges of "narco-terrorism conspiracy, cocaine importation conspiracy, possession of machine guns and destructive devices, and conspiracy to possess machine guns and destructive devices against the United States."

What we're witnessing in Venezuela is less about one country's oil production and more about the completion of a shift toward Western Hemisphere energy independence and an embrace of the core reality of fossil fuel-driven global energy production.

When President Trump boycotted the U.N. climate summit, many Americans who aren’t buying the elites' climate fearmongering were pleased, hopeful that Trump’s move might weaken the globalist plans.
But after the global elites appeared to use the president’s absence to push extreme climate policies, some are wondering if the president could have made a mistake.
“We’ve got Trump in the White House, and of course he actually boycotted the summit. We reached out to the State Department. They told us they deliberately chose not to send anybody. So there was no U.S. delegation for the first time in 30 years of these, and that made for a very interesting situation,” journalist Alex Newman tells Blaze Media co-founder Glenn Beck.
“And you know, a lot of Americans thought that was great. Hooray. And a lot of the climate skeptics also thought so. But some of the globalists at the U.N. conference also said, ‘Hey, this is a great opportunity, because the United States is still involved in the U.N. Framework Convention on Climate Change, but they’re not here to obstruct passage of an ambitious deal,’” Newman explains.
“‘So let’s do some great stuff, and then when Trump is gone in three and a half years, we’ll impose that on Americans,’” he adds.
And the agreement they passed without Trump’s presence included “mention of a carbon budget.”
“They claim that four-fifths of the CO2 that humans can be allowed to emit has already been emitted,” Newman tells Glenn.
“I think the strategy for these people, Glenn, is ‘Hey, we’ve got Trump for three and a half more years. Let’s just keep our heads down. We know that he doesn’t believe us. We know that the American people don’t believe us. So let’s just not talk about it too loudly,’” he adds.
“So was this a mistake by not showing up?” Glenn asks.
“I don’t know,” Newman answers. “I know some of the people down at the U.N. summit thought this was a good opportunity for them, but you know, Trump’s not done.”
“I’ve spoken with people at EPA; I’ve spoke with people at the State Department, who have said that they are seriously considering the possibility of withdrawing from the U.N. Framework Convention on Climate Change,” he continues.
“We have to,” Glenn interjects.
“Yeah, that seems like a no-brainer. … In fact, before he went into the White House, he said one of the top priorities for the MAGA movement and the United States needs to be to decisively crush this climate hysteria hoax,” Newman says, adding, “So he’s really serious about it.”
