Citizen OutBreak Episode 31, Matthew and Rudy wish everyone a Happy New Year.

Rudy  and Matthew open the episode by joking about the New Year, Rudy’s broken toe, and a “no more nice” mindset for 2026—setting a blunt, no-filter tone. Matthew recaps a recent trip to Marrakesh and contrasts the experience of a different culture and visible poverty with what they see as shallow or misinformed protest culture back in the U.S., especially in New York.

They then shift into geopolitics, focusing on claims that Venezuelan leader Nicolás Maduro was captured in a rapid, covert U.S. operation. They frame the event as a major strategic move meant to curb China, Russia, Iran, and other actors from expanding influence in the Western Hemisphere, arguing Venezuela’s oil and resources make it pivotal. The discussion blends national security, energy, and political strategy, with commentary about leaks in Washington and the political upside for Trump.

From there, they pivot to election-integrity rumors involving Dominion and Smartmatic, alleging overseas connections and suggesting Maduro could reveal information—while also acknowledging skepticism about whether accountability will ever happen.

The episode then touches on Iran, describing reports of growing protests, uncertainty about what sparked them, and speculation about further action in the region. They close by returning to domestic politics: criticizing socialism, “nepo baby” activists, and New York’s leadership—especially repeated jabs at “Kami Mondami”—and expanding the critique to Minnesota (Tim Walz and alleged daycare fraud) and broader blue-state corruption. The outro plugs their show and a Palm Beach coffee order called “the Rudy.”
