LIVE 9:00 am Eastern time, Streaming Anytime: Political cartoonist Ted Rall and CIA whistleblower John Kiriakou deliver the no-holds-barred analysis you need to understand the domestic and international stories making the news. • Louvre Heist: Thieves execute a brazen daylight robbery at the famous museum in Paris, smashing into the Galerie d’Apollon using a furniture lift truck Sunday morning. Snatching eight priceless gems—including “The Regent” diamond, a royal sapphire necklace, emerald earrings, and Empress Eugénie’s pearl-diadem—within seven minutes before fleeing on motor scooters, the professional thieves drops a 1,354-diamond crown as they flee.Staff trigger alarms—prioritizing visitor safety—as panicked tourists evacuate. Could this have been avoided? What will happen to these precious jewels? Can they be recovered? • Israel Breaks Gaza Truce: Israel unleashes a barrage of heavy attacks since last week's cease-fire agreement, also cutting off aid again after someone—Hamas says it wasn’t them—killed two soldiers with anti-tank fire in Rafah. Striking dozens of “Hamas targets,” Israel killed 44 Palestinians while Netanyahu rants. Both sides accuse the other truce violations yet reaffirm commitment to the ceasefire, with bombing halting aid temporarily before expected resumption. Can Trump keep Bibi under control? • US Sinks Colombian Ship: After blowing up five Venezuelan boats carrying at least one alleged fisherman, US forces destroy a vessel tied to Colombia's National Liberation Army, killing three, as Defense Secretary Hegseth claims narcotics smuggling without evidence—and The Washington Post reveals that the attacks against Venezuela is all about “regime change,” not drugs. Now Trump calls President Petro an “illegal drug leader,” halting subsidies and payments amid frayed ties. Colombia condemns the “murder on high seas” and sovereignty threats, with Petro firing back at Trump's “rude and ignorant” insults. Is Trump trying to get two Latin American countries for the price of one? • Santos Vows Prison Reform: Commuted by Trump after 84 days, ex-Congressman George Santos emerges from FCI Fairton solitary, decrying “dehumanizing” disarray and dirty undergarments. Pleading guilty to fraud and theft, the expelled liar—faking degrees, jobs, and Jewish heritage—now says he will dedicate his life to priso reform, insisting inmates deserve humanity alongside accountability. Trump's post hails him as “horribly mistreated,” freeing him from penalties immediately. Will this statement actually be true? Will America finally get the prison reform it needs?
