Harry turns to Mimi Rocah, Tara Setmayer, and Jacob Weisberg to delve into the DoJ's latest humiliations, the furor over strikes in the Caribbean, and Trump's racist outbursts. What will it take for Attorney General Pam Bondi to give up the case against Letitia James? Did Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth oversee a criminal missile attack, in addition to risking troops with his Signal messages?

On Dec. 6, people across the United States marched. They protested. They carried banners: No war on Venezuela. No blood for oil. US hands off Venezuela. They chanted and waved Venezuelan flags.Trump says he's coming to remove Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro. He's promised it's only a matter of time. The United States has amassed the largest military buildup in the Caribbean since the 1962 Cuban Missile Crisis. But according to a recent CBS poll, 70% of Americans are opposed to US military action in Venezuela. And over the weekend, those voices were loud. Marches against US military intervention. Against the ongoing US boat strikes in the Caribbean and Pacific. Against Trump rhetoric that claims to applaud peace, while carrying out and threatening violence at home and abroad—violence against Venezuela. BIG NEWS!

(The Center Square) – After a story was published last week claiming that Secretary of War Pete Hegseth ordered a second strike on an alleged Venezuelan drug boat to kill those remaining, both Hegseth and the Pentagon reiterated their defense of the War Department's actions as completely legal. Pentagon Press Secretary Kingsley Wilson told reporters Tuesday that the U.S. has performed 21 strikes on drug boats in the Western Hemisphere, killing “82 narco-terrorists.” Wilson repeatedly described the boats as narco-terrorist vessels at the Pentagon's first press briefing under this administration, underscoring that the terrorist designation allows the Trump administration to respond more forcefully while remaining within the law.

In September, the U.S. military began striking boats suspected of drug smuggling in the Caribbean. Since then, questions about the legality of these strikes have swirled. Last week, The Post reported that Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth gave a spoken order to kill everyone before a Sept. 2 attack, according to officials. The commander of the mission later made the decision to strike two survivors of the attack who had been clinging to the wreckage. Today on the politics roundtable, we'll discuss the fallout, and why both Republicans and Democrats are increasing their scrutiny of Hegseth's leadership at the Department of Defense.And, after brokering a ceasefire between Israel and Hamas in October, President Trump hoped to do the same for Russia and Ukraine. But his efforts have fallen short.Host Colby Itkowitz speaks with Matthew Choi, the co-anchor of our politics newsletter, The Early Brief, and White House reporter Michael Birnbaum.

Military Rules of Engagement Violations: Drug Boat Strike — Colonel Jeff McCausland — McCausland condemns a recent U.S. military strike on a drug trafficking vessel that allegedly killed surviving personnel in the water after vessel destruction. McCausland argues this "double tap" strike pattern violates international laws of armed conflict and U.S.military rules of engagement, which mandate rescue and medical assistance for defenseless, surrendered, or incapacitated enemy personnel. McCausland emphasizes that the administration has systematically withheld video documentation of the second strike, preventing independent verification of compliance with humanitarian warfare standards.1900

Jared Yates Sexton and Nick Hauselman break down the rapidly spiraling Pete Hegseth scandal, the September strike on Venezuelan fishermen, and why the second “rescue” mission amounts to a tacit admission of wrongdoing. They dig into how a non-war became a war crime, the crumbling veneer of U.S. legitimacy, and the political panic now radiating through Trump's cabinet. From there, the guys turn to the FBI's suddenly convenient arrest in the January 6th pipe-bomb case, the paper-thin evidence behind it, and why incompetence has become the defining feature of every institution now claiming to restore order. Then it's on to the right wing's newest manufactured martyr, a Bible-citing psychology student whose zero-point assignment has been weaponized into yet another grift about free speech. They wrap with a dive into Stranger Things, trauma allegories, Ken Burns's America, and what it means to watch childhood, democracy, and reality all get bent out of shape by the same forces.

Even Republican senators are growing wary of Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth. From Signalgate to allegations of war crimes in the killing of two people already in distress on an alleged drug boat, Hegseth is getting harder to support. We run though the latest developments on This Week in Politics with Michael Shure & Mo Kelly. A check in with J-L Cauvin to see how his congressional bid is going brings a big announcement. Comedian Mark Malkoff joins to talk about late night television and his new book Love Johnny Carson. We”ve got Friday Fabulous Florida and a look at movies with The Culture Blaster Michael Snyder.

Michael digs into the controversy surrounding the unreleased video of the second boat strike — the tape lawmakers saw but the public hasn't.

A Virginia grand jury declines to reindict New York Attorney General Letitia James on mortgage-fraud charges. It's a major setback for the Trump administration after a judge dismissed the original case just last week. Plus, lawmakers walk out of a closed-door briefing with very different reactions to the Sept. 2 boat strike that killed two survivors. Republicans claimed the operation was lawful while Democrats called the footage “troubling.” And the FBI arrests a man from Woodbridge, Virginia, accused of planting the RNC/DNC pipe bombs on Jan. 5, 2021. He appears in court Friday as agents continue searching his home for evidence. These stories and more highlight your Unbiased Updates for Friday, December 5, 2025.

The Pentagon announced another strike against an alleged drug-carrying boat in the eastern Pacific Ocean. This comes as lawmakers react to a classified briefing on the controversial Sept. 2 strikes targeting a vessel near Venezuela, where many questions remain on whether the second strike that killed the two people could have violated international law. Greg discusses the new developments and shares his thoughts on due process and international enforcement.
