Kibbe believes that honest conversations, driven by intellectual curiosity and mutual respect, can ignite a new revolution of free thinking and a willingness to question the official narrative. That means talking, and listening, to a wide variety of people outside the echo chamber of officially sanctioned experts. Kibbe on Liberty's guests include politicians, economists, musicians, comedians, writers, radio personalities, activists, journalists, and even magicians—with topics of conversation ranging from current affairs to obscure philosophy, from craft beer to the Grateful Dead. Cold one in hand, settle in for the next brain-stimulating hour of Kibbe on Liberty. As the president of Free the People, Kibbe has decades of experience in the libertarian political sphere. He is the author of three books, including Don’t Hurt People and Don’t Take Their Stuff, a #2 NY Times Best Seller. Kibbe is a fanatical DeadHead, drinker of great whisky, and collector of obscure books on Austrian economics.","last_synced_at":"2026-06-11T06:20:07.000361+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/kibbe-on-liberty-687266"},"episode":{"title":"EP 367 | What’s Next for Venezuela?","slug":"ep-367-what-s-next-for-venezuela","published_at":"2026-01-07T21:28:00+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/kibbe-on-liberty-687266/ep-367-what-s-next-for-venezuela","show_page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/kibbe-on-liberty-687266","url":"https://www.podtrac.com/pts/redirect.mp3/pdst.fm/e/pfx.vpixl.com/4V6da/arttrk.com/p/BLZM1/verifi.podscribe.com/rss/p/mgln.ai/e/285/pscrb.fm/rss/p/chrt.fm/track/1655CF/cohst.app/pdcst/5I2S5F/traffic.megaphone.fm/BMDC6859344705.mp3","audio_url":"https://www.podtrac.com/pts/redirect.mp3/pdst.fm/e/pfx.vpixl.com/4V6da/arttrk.com/p/BLZM1/verifi.podscribe.com/rss/p/mgln.ai/e/285/pscrb.fm/rss/p/chrt.fm/track/1655CF/cohst.app/pdcst/5I2S5F/traffic.megaphone.fm/BMDC6859344705.mp3","summary":"In the wake of President Trump’s sudden military action in Venezuela, ousting Nicolás Maduro and asserting U.S. control over the country, at least temporarily, much of the debate has centered around the wisdom and legality of Trump’s actions. Matt Kibbe argues that while unilateral military action by the president is certainly unconstitutional, the more important question is what happens next. Free the People has a long history of pointing out the evils of the socialist regime led by Maduro and his predecessor, Hugo Chavez, and yet history teaches us that regime-change wars invariably make things worse rather than better. As Maduro’s vice president assumes control for the time being, there remain many questions about what the plan is going forward, whether it involves installing new leadership or a boots-on-the-ground military occupation by U.S. forces, or whether the country will simply be left to its own devices from here on out. The answers to these questions will determine much about the future faced by the Venezuelan people.","meta_description":"In the wake of President Trump’s sudden military action in Venezuela, ousting Nicolás Maduro and asserting U.S. control over the country, at least tempora…","key_points":[],"chapters":[],"topics":[],"duration_seconds":2849,"processing_state":"not_requested","actions":[{"name":"request_transcript","method":"POST","url":"https://stenobird.com/v1/public/podcasts/kibbe-on-liberty-687266/episodes/ep-367-what-s-next-for-venezuela/transcription-requests","description":"Idempotently request low-priority transcript generation for this episode."},{"name":"read_markdown","method":"GET","url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/kibbe-on-liberty-687266/ep-367-what-s-next-for-venezuela.md","description":"Read the agent-friendly Markdown representation of this episode resource."}]}}
