We're joined by Rick de la Torre, retired Central Intelligence Agency operations officer and former Station Chief in Caracas, with insight into both the mission itself and Washington's long game in the region. Later in the show—nationwide demonstrations in Iran continue to escalate, shifting from economic grievances to open defiance of the regime's legitimacy.

Ian Bremmer unpacks the fallout from the Trump administration's dramatic operation in Caracas that captured Venezuelan strongman Nicolás Maduro and brought him to the US to face federal charges. The raid was a stark demonstration of American power, and few are mourning the fall of a leader whose rule helped collapse Venezuela and drive millions to flee. But even with Maduro gone, the hard questions start immediately: who governs now, how long does the US stay involved, and how quickly could “stability” turn into something far messier?First, Bremmer speaks with Democratic Senator Ruben Gallego, who says the operation may have been “limited” in scope, but the political and strategic risks are only beginning. Gallego argues that the White House is improvising and that Congress is watching closely for signs of escalation. “There really isn't a plan,” he warns. “They're kind of just playing this as it goes, which is very scary that they're doing that.” He lays out what a more sustainable path could look like, including releasing political prisoners, setting a timeline for elections, and pursuing economic steps that reduce the chances of renewed conflict.Then Bremmer is joined by Stanford political scientist Frank Fukuyama, who cautions against viewing Maduro's capture as a clean “one and done” victory. The regime, he argues, is bigger than any single leader, and the US may be stepping into a long, unpredictable project whether it admits it or not. “Let's not kid ourselves,” Fukuyama says. “This is a nation building exercise.” From the risk of economic collapse and refugee flows to the precedent set by a US foreign policy driven by raw leverage, Fukuyama and Bremmer explore what happens when Washington embraces the “law of the jungle,” and why the consequences could extend well beyond Venezuela.Host: Ian BremmerGuests: Ruben Gallego and Francis Fukuyama Subscribe to the GZERO World with Ian Bremmer Podcast on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or your preferred podcast platform, to receive new episodes as soon as they're published.

As part of the NSF–DOE Vera C. Rubin Observatory First Look event in June 2025, Rubin announced that it had observed thousands of asteroids cruising about our Solar System, about 1,900 of which have been confirmed as never-before-seen. Within the flurry, a team of astronomers has discovered 19 super- and ultra-fast-rotating asteroids. One of these is the fastest-spinning asteroid larger than 500 meters (0.3 miles) ever found. In this podcast, Dr. Sarah Greenstreet discusses these fast spinning asteroids and what makes the Rubin Observatory ideal for discovering these types of objects.   Bios:  - Rob Sparks is in the Communications, Education and Engagement group at NSF's NOIRLab in Tucson, Arizona. - Sarah Greenstreet is a tenure-track assistant astronomer at the NSF National Optical-Infrared Astronomy Research Laboratory (NOIRLab) and an affiliate assistant professor in the University of Washington's Department of Astronomy. She is also a member of the Rubin Observatory Community Science Team and has served as the Lead for the Rubin Observatory Solar System Science Collaboration's Near-Earth Objects and Interstellar Objects Working Group for the past seven years. Prof. Greenstreet's research program broadly focuses on orbital dynamics, characterization, and impacts of small bodies across the Solar System, with a particular focus on the rarest and most unusual asteroids.

In this weekend's episode, three segments from this past week's Washington Journal. First, the aftermath of the U-S military operation in Venezuela that toppled President Nicolas Maduro dominated Washington this week. We speak with Republican Randy Fine of Florida – a member of the Foreign Affairs Committee – about the future of U-S involvement in that country. The U-S military strikes and the capture of Maduro has raised all kinds of legal and constitutional questions. We break it all down with Creighton University Professor and international law expert Michael Kelly Finally, this week also saw the 5th anniversary of the January 6th attack on the Capitol. We chat with Associated Press Congressional Reporter Mary Clare Jalonick about the legacy of that day which she examines in her book "Storm at the Capitol: An Oral History of January 6th."

In this episode of On The Ball, Ric Bucher unloads on the NBA's most uncomfortable truths: why “tanking” is getting harder to justify, why a rumored Trae Young-to-Washington deal would be less about basketball and more about money + leverage, and why the supermax era is changing (maybe forever). Ric also tackles the loudest Warriors debate—why fans coming for Steve Kerr are missing the point—and explains what Steph's late-career reality actually means in the new salary-cap NBA. Then Ric turns his attention to LeBron's podcast positioning, the optics of “the league is moving away from ISO” while playing next to Luka, and the awkward self-mythmaking that comes with the exit ramp of a legend. Finally, a fascinating tell from All-Star voting: the NBA's next “face” may be foreign, and Ric names the frontrunner.Time stamps 00:00 — Intro: “Cooking with gas” + where to find Ric 01:32 — Mission statement: angles you won't hear anywhere else 01:39 — Making every NBA game matter + the tanking problem 02:43 — Trae Young traded to the Wizards?!

 A recent study from the University of Washington School of Medicine reveals a national snapshot of the ways Americans are vulnerable to financial insecurity after undergoing medical procedures.    Surveys showed that about 38% of people who undergo surgery in the United States report experiencing financial hardship after surgery – meaning they have incurred medical debt and have difficulty paying medical bills, or they delay medical care for fear of cost.    John Scott is a trauma surgeon and researcher who studies health policy at the University of Washington. He joins us to discuss his findings.

On Monday, Washington state lawmakers will meet in Olympia to kick off a 60-day legislative session. Last month, Gov. Bob Ferguson unveiled a proposed $79 billion supplemental budget that aims to fill a $2.3 billion shortfall in part by tapping the state’s rainy day fund and making cuts to spending on state programs and services. Lawmakers in both chambers will consider other proposals to shore up the state’s finances, including a contentious plan by Senate Democrats that would impose a nearly 10% tax on Washingtonians making more than $1 million a year. The so-called millionaires’ tax would raise an estimated $3 billion annually, but it faces opposition by Republicans who’ve threatened to sue if it wins passage by the Democratic majority in the Legislature.   Scott Greenstone, a politics reporter at our partner station KUOW and co-host of the Sound Politics podcast, joins us to share more details about that plan and other priorities facing Washington lawmakers during the short session

Today we'll dig into what that policy overhang could mean for the tape, how institutional flows are shaping the backdrop, and why moves affecting crypto-treasury proxies like Strategy/MicroStrategy matter right now—plus we're joined by Allan Marshall from Upexi to break it all down.

On this live edition of Political Breakfast, we cover how two-time Democratic nominee for governor Stacey Abrams announced that she is not running for office in 2026. Abrams said in a statement that instead she'll continue her work fighting against what's happening in Washington, as "since January 2025, we have watched our nation descend into authoritarianism.” There's already a crowded field on the Democratic side, including familiar names like former Atlanta Mayor Keisha Lance Bottoms and former DeKalb County CEO Michael Thurmond. Democratic strategist Tharon Johnson, Republican strategist Brian Robinson and host Lisa Rayam react. Plus, a quick look ahead at some priorities for Georgia's 2026 legislative session, which starts on Monday.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

At first glance, the U.S. capture of Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro might look like an obvious disaster for Vladimir Putin. Russia has lost a key partner, and the prospect of Venezuelan oil flooding the market could depress prices even further, further constraining the Kremlin's ability to fund its war against Ukraine. Then there's the embarrassing contrast between the U.S. operation in Caracas, which was over in hours, and Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine, which is now entering its fifth year. But the reality might be more complicated. To better understand what Trump's Venezuela operation could mean for Moscow, Meduza spoke with political scientist Seva Gunitsky and Russian oil-industry expert Craig Kennedy.

The guys from Dawgman.com - Kim Grinolds, Chris Fetters, and Scott Eklund - got together shortly after Demond Williams announced his return to Washington, followed closely by public statements made by UW Head Coach Jedd Fisch and UW AD Pat Chun. They go through the statements, give their initial thoughts on not just the statements but the last 48 hours, and what they think will happen now. Did Demond simply 'see the light' after conversations with Fisch and others, or was it a case of finding out he wasn't nearly as attractive a transfer candidate based on the toxic nature of how events unfolded? And in the end, does any of that matter? And is this a situation where, because Williams simply returned where he came from, everything is good and things go back to status quo? Or will this story end up being a test case to catalyze serious change to the way contracts are drafted and enforced? The guys hash all that out and give their final thoughts on what this means for UW going forward, not just as a program, but also specifically at quarterback because they are still in a situation where they could use another experienced quarterback to back Williams up like Kai Horton did last season.

Donald Trumps Start ins neue Jahr: Erst der US-Showdown in Caracas und dann geht's gleich mit Grönland weiter? Gab es zwischen Washington und Moskau eventuell eine Absprache, dass jeder in seiner Hemisphäre nach Belieben schalten kann? Mit diesen Fragen gehen Markus Lanz und Richard David Precht in diese Folge. Precht erinnert daran, dass 1989 nach dem gleichen Muster Panamas Diktator Noriega von den USA gestürzt wurde. Auch damals war die Kritik aus dem Westen verhalten. Dabei ist gerade heute das Völkerrecht so essentiell wichtig, besonders für uns in Europa. Warum aber fällt die Reaktion der Bundesregierung dann wieder so kleinlaut aus? Wir haben gerade wenig zu gewinnen, aber viel zu verlieren, meint Markus Lanz. Fällt die Welt unter die Räuber?

Steve welcomes Michael Toth, Director of Research at the Civitas Institute at the University of Texas at Austin, to discuss why America needs a modern transcontinental railroad. They break down how outdated regulations have fractured rail transport and driven up costs across the supply chain. Toth explains how a proposed coast-to-coast rail merger could reduce bottlenecks, improve efficiency, and lower prices, if Washington gets out of the way and lets the market work.
