Wilkerson, who served a 31-year career in the U.S. military, was chief of staff to U.S. Secretary of State Colin Powell from 2002 to 2005, and is now a Senior Fellow at the Eisenhower Media Network discusses his views on growing public concern about Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth's unprecedented purge of top military leadership, political interference in officer promotions, as well as charges of mismanagement and incompetence in the U.S. war on Iran.

Professor Ellner will discuss his views on the recently announced oil deal between the Trump administration and Venezuela's acting president Delcy Rodriguez -- focusing on the local response to the agreement by the people of Venezuela, political activists on the right and left -- and an examination of who will benefit from the oil agreement.

3) Tabitha Sookdeo, Executive Director of the youth-led organization, Connecticut Students for a Dream, talks about the recent ICE raids in Danbury, CT over the past week where at least 62 individuals were abducted by ICE agents, which led to a major protest march and rally as well as community organizing to resist the Trump regime's violent and cruel mass deportation campaign.

4) Charlotte Dennett, author of “Follow the Pipelines Uncovering the Mystery of a Lost Spy and the Deadly Politics of the Great Game for Oil,” discusses what’s really behind Trump’s six months of war in Iran, and the role of Big Oil in fomenting endless wars in the Middle East -- and U.S. designs on oil and other natural resources in Venezuela, Ukraine, Greenland and Canada.
