Josh opens the show with the news on a Venezuelan oil tanker being escorted and explains why the United States has a direct strategic interest in what happens in Venezuela, Cuba, and Colombia. He also unpacks the escalating protests in Iran and why the situation is becoming increasingly dangerous.
Josh is then joined by Yuval Levin, Editor of National Affairs, for a deep dive into the state of healthcare reform in America—how we got here, why Republicans have struggled to make political gains on the issue, and why Democrats continue to expand spending without meaningful structural change. Levin also explores the divisions within the conservative movement and why both sides remain overly focused on their fringes.
The United States has seized two oil tankers as it asserts its control over Venezuela and its oil industry. White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt says the first tanker was seized in the North Atlantic after pursuing it for several weeks. She says the other tanker was a stateless vessel in the Caribbean and conducting illicit activities. As for who’s running Venezuela right now, Leavitt says the Trump administration has “maximum leverage” over that country.
A U.S. immigration agent shot and killed a driver in Minneapolis on Wednesday amid an immigration enforcement surge, according to local and federal officials.
The shooting drew protesters into the streets near the scene, some of whom were met by heavily armed federal agents wearing gas masks who fired chemical munitions at the demonstrators.
Tricia McLaughlin, a spokeswoman for the Department of Homeland Security said in a post on X that the Immigration and Customs Enforcement officer began firing after a "violent rioter" attempted to run over ICE officers.
"The alleged perpetrator was hit and is deceased," she wrote. "The ICE officers who were hurt are expected to make full recoveries."
Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey blamed the Trump administration in a post on X for heightening tensions around immigration enforcement.
"The presence of federal immigration enforcement agents is causing chaos in our city," Frey, a Democrat, said on X. "We're demanding ICE to leave the city immediately. We stand rock solid with our immigrant and refugee communities."
The Trump administration has deployed federal immigration agents to Democratic-led cities across the U.S. through his first year in office, leading to backlash from residents. In recent weeks, agents have been sent to Minneapolis following allegations of fraud involving Somali immigrants,.
A dark-colored SUV with a bullet hole through its windshield and blood splattered across the headrest was seen rammed into a pole on the snowy street where the shooting took place. U.S. Border Patrol commander-at-large Gregory Bovino, who has led other enforcement actions in Chicago, Charlotte and New Orleans, was also on site.
Venus de Mars, a 65-year-old Minneapolis resident who lives near the site of the shooting, described seeing paramedics perform CPR on a woman collapsed next to a snowbank near the crashed car. Shortly after, they loaded her into an ambulance that drove away without its sirens on.
"There's been lots of ICE activity but nothing like this," de Mars said. "I'm so angry. I'm so angry, and I feel helpless."
U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio says he plans to meet Danish officials next week after the Trump administration reiterated its intention to take over the strategic Arctic island. Rubio has told U.S. lawmakers that the Trump administration wants to eventually purchase Greenland, rather than use military force to take over the self-governing territory of Denmark. Tensions escalated after the White House said Tuesday that the use of “U.S. military is always an option.” Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen warned earlier this week that a takeover would threaten NATO. The leaders of several European countries reaffirmed that Greenland “belongs to its people.”

Neves Valente was found dead in a storage facility in New Hampshire days after the attacks, officials said.
