Description
On this episode of America at Night, with McGraw Milhaven the show opens with Blois (Bloyce) Olson, Chief Political Commentator at WCCO, breaking down what’s really happening with Minneapolis daycares, cutting through headlines to explain the policy failures and political realities impacting families on the ground.
Next, the focus shifts overseas as Matthew McGuire, foreign policy and international economy expert and former U.S. Executive Director to the World Bank, analyzes the reported capture of Venezuelan strongman Nicolás Maduro, arguing the episode exposes U.S. weakness rather than strength on the global stage.
Finally, Lt. Gen. Richard Y. Newton (Ret.), former Assistant Vice Chief of Staff of the U.S. Air Force and senior national security contributor, offers a strategic and security-focused assessment of the Maduro capture, weighing its implications for U.S. credibility, regional stability, and America’s posture toward authoritarian regimes.
