Kara welcomes Audie Cornish and Bill Cohan to unpack President Trump's controversial Venezuela strategy, and his pitch to oil executives. Bill reveals what he'd tell any client eyeing Greenland as an investment. Then: the fatal ICE shooting in Minnesota that's sparking national outrage, why Warner Bros. just rejected another Paramount buyout offer, and how Grok managed to sink even lower.

Check out more from Audie on “CNN This Morning, and the podcast, “The Assignment.”
