February 16, 2026 · 1 h 12 min

Show notes

Secretary of State Marco Rubio testified before the Senate to defend the U.S. seizure of Venezuela's president—and his answers raised more questions than they settled. This episode features highlights from the testimony, discussion of possible further military action, and an examination of the Trump administration's efforts to reshape and control Venezuela's oil sector and contracts.
