There are reports this week of a massacre of protesters by security forces.

And we'll also talk about what we know about Trump's deliberations about a possible U.S.

military response.

We're also going to talk about how the son of the former leader of Iran, who was deposed in 1979,

has reinserted himself into this conversation.

And whether he is welcome or not.

The Shah has entered the chat.

From, where is he, like Northern Virginia or the suburbs of DC somewhere?

Yeah, good question.

Then we're gonna update you on how regime change is going in Venezuela.

Trump has an upcoming meeting with Venezuelan opposition leader, Maria Machado, that could be awkward.

We'll find out, I guess.

We'll talk about why ramping up Venezuela's oil industry

might be a lot harder than Trump thinks, what the Russians might think about all of this.

Then we're going to talk about Trump's threats to bomb Mexico, his efforts to topple the Cuban government with sanctions and economic pressure and whether that's going to work.

We've never tried that one before, right?

And then how a birthday party and an octagon

have upended plans for an international summit of world leaders.

Stick around for that.

Yep.
