Following the targeted shooting of two National Guard members in Washington, D.C.,

Trump has also declared Venezuela's airspace to be off-limits to all airlines as the U.S. threatens a new war this time in Latin America.

Leanne, we were preparing to do a show today about Ukraine and the demand or the promise by Donald Trump

that there would be a peace deal ending this war that began, well, technically in February 22.

But so much has happened in the last days and even in the last few hours that we've decided to switch it up, to talk

West Virginia, the shooting of another National Guardsmen

in Washington, D.C. This was apparently a targeted shooting by someone who worked with the CIA

in the so-called zero units, which are basically Death Squad units in Kandahar, the southern
