What's Going On With Venezuela?

What's Going On With Venezuela?

Author: FOX News Radio October 28, 2025 Duration: 34:14
Tensions are escalating after Venezuela's President accused President Trump of inventing a war, following the U.S. deployment of an advanced aircraft carrier to the Caribbean. This move comes amid expanded U.S. strikes on suspected drug-smuggling boats off Venezuela's coast. James B. Story, retired U.S. Ambassador to Venezuela, joins the Rundown to discuss the state of Venezuela's regime, the secrecy surrounding U.S. military operations in the region, and the Venezuelan government's ties with China, Russia, drug cartels, and terrorist organizations. One week until election day: this off-year election cycle includes local races, ballot measures, and more. Voters in New Jersey and Virginia are electing their next governors, while New Yorkers are following their own mayoral race. Democrats lead all of those three key races in the polls. Josh Kraushaar, FOX News Audio Political Analyst and Editor-in-Chief of Jewish Insider, joins the Rundown to break down the three races and that they mean for the overall trajectory of the country. Plus, commentary by Melissa Henson, senior policy advisor for Media and Culture for Concerned Women for America. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices
