Brian Shapiro sits down with *Ron Filipkowski (Editor-in-Chief of MeidasTouch Network)* to break down two major international flashpoints — the deadly crackdown in *Iran* and the growing political chaos around **Venezuela**. Ron reacts to the viral “locked and loaded” rhetoric, the brutal reality on the ground, and why U.S. messaging matters when people are risking their lives.

This is a sharp, no-BS interview about foreign policy, propaganda, and performative politics — and how quickly narratives get weaponized online. 👇 *Watch till the end — the Venezuela/Nobel discussion is unreal.* 💬 Comment: Should U.S. leaders stop making promises they won’t back up? *Topics covered:* • Iran protests crackdown & U.S. response • Trump rhetoric vs real-world consequences • Venezuela political strategy & media frenzy • Viral politics, misinformation, and accountability • Ron Filipkowski interview (MeidasTouch) Support our work at https://www.pushingthelimits.live
