Strikes on the High Seas; A Patient’s Worst Fear

The U.S. military has launched another strike in the eastern Pacific, hitting two boats and killing six alleged “narco-terrorists.” Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth announced the attack but offered no proof nor identities of the victims. It’s the latest in a series of U.S. operations targeting so-called terrorist-linked drug networks, drawing sharp criticism from Colombia and Venezuela. And with the Gerald R. Ford carrier strike group now in the region, signs point to a possible escalation. NBC News chief foreign correspondent Richard Engel is in Colombia and joins host Yasmin Vossoughian to break down what he’s learning on the ground. And a new lawsuit accuses an Army gynecologist of secretly recording a patient during an exam at Fort Hood. The suit names Dr. Blaine McGraw and claims the Army ignored years of sexual misconduct complaints, and a military official said at least 25 women have been contacted by Army criminal investigators. NBC News senior national security correspondent Courtney Kube joins the pod from just outside Fort Hood with the latest.
