In a phone interview with NBC News' Kristen Welker on Thursday, President Donald Trump said it is possible that the U.S. could go to war with Venezuela, as his administration continues to up the pressure on Venezuelan dictator Nicolás Maduro. "I don't rule it out, no," he told the network. Trump did not want to offer further details and declined to say whether his ultimate goal was regime change. "He knows exactly what I want," Trump said of Maduro. "He knows better than anybody."

On Thursday on "The Alex Marlow Show," host and Breitbart Editor-in-Chief Alex Marlow talked about Trump's speech. Marlow said, "He did a bit of a headfake. He shared with certain media members that he was going…to be announcing some sort of interventionist war in Venezuela. … I think that just made all the more people tune in for Trump to tout all the great stuff he's doing." "The Alex Marlow Show," hosted by Breitbart Editor-in-Chief Alex Marlow, is a weekday podcast produced by Breitbart News and Salem Podcast Network.

President Trump ordered marijuana to be rescheduled under federal law on Thursday, shifting it out of the most restrictive drug category. The move would make it easier to conduct medical research on the drug, though it stops short of federal legalization. It has reignited familiar arguments about whether cannabis is harmless or dangerous, medicine or vice, success or failure. That debate misses the point. Instead of choosing sides, we should acknowledge that policy moved faster than the evidence on public health effects. The challenge is whether we are willing to adjust course when we encounter unintended consequences.
