Tommy & Ben sound the alarm about how Trump is laying the foundation for war with Venezuela&#x2014;breaking down the administration&#x2019;s justifications, what escalation could look like, and why attacking Venezuela won&#x2019;t solve America&#x2019;s drug problem. Then, they discuss the latest negotiations between Israel and Hamas over Trump&#x2019;s Gaza &#x201C;peace plan,&#x201D; Israel's treatment of activists arrested from the Gaza-bound Global Sumud Flotilla, an update from journalist Noa Avishag Schnall, who&#x2019;s currently sailing to Gaza with another flotilla, and the United States&#x2019; unprecedented security agreement with Qatar. Also covered: how MAGA is advocating for an El Salvador-style judicial takeover, Russia&#x2019;s &#x201C;hybrid war&#x201D; on Europe and its shadow fleet of decrepit oil tankers, and the over-the-hill rock stylings of Argentina&#x2019;s embattled president, Javier Milei. Finally, Tommy speaks with Michael Froman, president of the Council on Foreign Relations and former U.S. Trade Representative under Obama, about Trump&#x2019;s trade &#x201C;strategy,&#x201D; the death of the rules-based system of global commerce, and why the humble soybean has become a flashpoint in the trade wars.For a closed-captioned version of this episode, <a href="https://youtu.be/vg_bb46UELA">click&#xA0;here</a>.
