Show Notes
November 30, 2025; 7am: New escalation of what the Trump administration calls a war against drug cartels in Venezuela. President Trump declared the airspace above and surrounding Venezuela to be closed in its entirety after he warned the U.S. could expand their attacks from alleged drug trafficking boats to possible land operations. Plus, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth reportedly gave an order to “kill everybody” on the first Caribbean boat strike. And, both the Senate and House Armed Service Committees say they will amplify their scrutiny of the strikes on alleged drug boats in the Caribbean. Marc Polymeropoulos, former CIA Senior Intelligence Service Operations Officer and MS NOW National Security and Intelligence Analyst, joins “The Weekend” to discuss.
