Steve welcomes Joshua Philipp, award-winning journalist and senior investigative reporter at The Epoch Times, and host of Crossroads on EpochTV, for a critical look at geopolitics, energy, and U.S. military strategy in South America.

They discuss the escalating situation in Venezuela, where control over oil resources is drawing international attention, and how the U.S. military presence in the region is not just about Venezuela but also China’s oil supply and influence. Joshua provides insight into the complex interplay of energy politics, global power, and security concerns, giving listeners a deeper understanding of how these dynamics affect both America and the world.
