Episode Synopsis

From overnight gunfire in Caracas to a tense political reset inside the country’s National Assembly, NBC News contributor Ana Vanessa Herrero describes what’s happening on the ground as power shifts in Venezuela. In the U.S., Congress is back in town with a loaded agenda and growing divisions. Lawmakers are split over how to respond to the administration’s capture of Venezuelan leader Nicolás Maduro, how to handle health care, a looming government shutdown and the commemoration of five years since the Jan. 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol. NBC News Chief Capitol Hill Correspondent Ryan Nobles breaks down the partisan divide and explains what’s at stake. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
