'Trump wants us to go back to 1930s': Sen. Ruben Gallego - Why Is This Happening? - The Chris Hayes Podcast

It's been a little more than a week since the United States invaded Venezuela and abducted its president Nicolás Maduro. Trump has contended that Venezuela, which reportedly has the world’s largest known oil reserves, has "unilaterally seized and sold American oil."

There's a lot to discuss about the geopolitical context and how it intersects with new energy developments. Senator Ruben Gallego (D-AZ) is the creator of a new energy plan and joins Chris Hayes to talk about that plan, his reaction to Venezuela and more.

the reason they need the oil, dirtier the better, is to generate the power to cool the crypto mines which are generating the heat to warm the planet and melt the glaciers that are preventing them from getting more oil.

am i insane to wonder how people who should know better are allowing trump to ransack a hemisphere?
