MOATS: George Galloway

GRAND THEFT VENEZUELA | Trump snares Maduro | His ‘perp walk’ | Iran in the sights | Greenland now?

2026 begins with shockwaves — and George Galloway is LIVE to confront them. In the first edition of The Mother of All Talk Shows of the new year, George examines a dramatic opening to 2026 as Donald Trump tightens the net around Venezuela, Iran is firmly in Washington’s sights, and even Greenland is whispered about once again.

🔥 GRAND THEFT VENEZUELA — as Trump moves against Nicolás Maduro, talk of seizures, sanctions, and a humiliating “perp walk” dominate headlines. Is Venezuela being stripped in plain sight, and what does this escalation mean for Latin America and the wider world?

🇮🇷 LIVE FROM TEHRAN — Prof. Seyed Mohammad Marandi joins George direct from Iran. One of the most authoritative voices on Iran–US relations, Prof. Marandi breaks down whether Washington is preparing for confrontation, how Tehran is reading Trump’s moves, and what an attack on Iran would mean for the Middle East and beyond.

📰 Chris Hedges — Pulitzer Prize–winning journalist, author, and host of The Chris Hedges Report — returns to MOATS to analyse the deeper forces shaping the start of 2026. From imperial overreach and economic decline to propaganda, repression, and the price paid by ordinary people, Hedges delivers a stark warning about where this new year is heading.
