Hook: A single cabinet meeting snapshot exposes a risky plan for Venezuela and a presidency out of sync. This condensed 3-minute summary (original 27 minutes) from Breaking Points, hosted by Krystal Ball and Saagar Enjeti, unpacks reporting that Trump offered Maduro safe passage in exchange for resignation, internal calls for assassination, and the legal contortions—like stretching the post-9/11 AUMF—to justify military action. Guests include journalist Sammy Hamdi on detention and free speech. You’ll get sharp takes on regime-change risks, the geopolitical spillovers to Colombia and Mexico, why bombing drug boats won’t stop U.S. demand, and domestic impacts from Tennessee politics to Tyson’s plant closure. Keywords: Venezuela, Maduro, regime change, AUMF, geopolitics, drug routes, domestic policy. Listen now to get the key ideas in minutes.
