Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth suggested that the U.S. would invade Venezuela with troops unless the country allowed between 30 million and 50 million barrels of oil to be brought to the U.S.

During a Wednesday interview on the Charlie Kirk show, host Blake Neff asked Hegseth what would prompt President Donald Trump to put "boots on the ground" in Venezuela.

Rep. Summer Lee (D-PA) and Rep. James Comer (R-KY) clashed over a Republican failure to investigate fraud in the Trump administration.

During a House Oversight Committee hearing on Wednesday, Lee argued that "nobody here believes that rooting out fraud and waste and abuse is not a top priority of this committee."

Dr. Mehmet Oz, President Donald Trump's administrator for the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS), pushed for American seniors to "work one year longer" because he claimed it would benefit the economy.

During a Wednesday White House briefing, Oz blamed low gross domestic product (GDP) growth for rising health care expenditures.

Rep. Stephen Lynch (D-MA) used a Republican hearing on alleged daycare fraud in Minnesota to express his outrage at what he said was the illegal renaming of the Kennedy Center.

"I just want to say from this committee, this investigative committee, if we're really looking for fraud, if we're truly looking for fraud," Lynch told the House Oversight Committee on Wednesday, "we don't need to go far. I can even suggest the address 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue. If we're looking for fraud in this country, that's a great place to start."

Rep. Robert Garcia (D-CA) lashed out at Republicans on the House Oversight Committee for jumping on alleged daycare fraud in Minnesota while ignoring President Donald Trump's pardons of fraudsters.

"And when people commit fraud, and people get hurt, there's going to be repercussions as there should be," Garcia said during a Wednesday hearing. "We want to hold fraudsters accountable. We want to protect the victims and innocent people."

Rep. Nancy Mace (R-SC) admitted on Newsmax Wednesday morning that she isn't confident Republicans are going to retain the majority in the House of Representatives in this year's midterm elections.

However, she refused to put any of the blame on President Donald Trump or Republican policies, instead spinning the narrative that Republicans have been obstructed in the Senate from passing enough of the MAGA agenda to satisfy voters.

CNN's John Berman clashed with one of President Donald Trump's top MAGA allies in Congress over the possible use of force to take control of Greenland.

The White House said Tuesday the president is "discussing a range of options," including a purchase or military action, to acquire the Danish territory after invading Venezuela and capturing its leader and his wife, and the "CNN News Central" host asked Rep. Byron Donalds (R-FL) whether he supported using the military to take over Greenland.

Donald Trump’s desire to occupy Greenland, with a hint of using force, was thoroughly dismantled on Wednesday morning on MS NOW, with “Morning Joe” co-host Joe Scarborough bluntly calling the presidential obsession ”insane.”

With increased reporting that the president has moved on from his Venezuela occupation to eyeing Greenland, to the dismay of NATO nations, Scarborough lectured supporters of Trump about the massive damage it would do to international relations

MS NOW host Joe Scarborough went on a furious tirade on Wednesday morning that was punctuated with multiple swear words as he lambasted Republican lawmakers for refusing to honor the cops who defended the Capitol on Jan. 6, five years ago.

Discussing a plaque honoring the heroic police officers that House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) has been dragging his feet on putting on display, the “Morning Joe” started yelling, as his panel sat in stunned silence.

A high-profile author who has written about President Donald Trump for decades revealed on Tuesday why Venezuelan dictator Nicolas Maduro's dance moves were so devastating for the president's psyche.

Video emerged in late November of Maduro dancing at political rallies, which seemed to enrage Trump, according to a report by The New York Times. At the time, the Trump administration was trying to negotiate a surrender with the Venezuelan leader, an offer that was declined. Maduro's nonchalance was seen as a sign of disrespect inside the White House, according to reports.
