those were invisible their lives were deemed not important and they were essentially nonexistent hugo chavez brought them on to the political stage knowing gaged import tax in a way that they never have before and the venezuelan oil darkie can't stand and can't live with that it's never reconciled itself to that process in venezuela jelly a mention that the armed forces and this is really kazan it to to what could happen next that they've got. to do is got the sort of support of the armed forces at the moment what are the chances that they will switch sides as it were. well that's a question for the armed forces we don't know what the converse conversations are taking place some will be what it about their own positions on survival given what this is leading to unless something is done to forestall it we're talking about civil conflict it could be another syria it could be latin america's syrian national exaggeration sort of military would be would be determined on that the level of ideology the level of support for the government the level of a clearance to the constitution and how that how

socialist dictator and his cronies stole $1.2 billion out of the parent country. >> it started under hugo chavezr and finance minister are multi-billion airs. i have little --. i welcome the sanctions being imposed. it's one more way of putting pressure on the maduro regime. and of course maduro stole that company in the first place. liz: he's trying to have a show of force with his supporters. what we are seeing is 29 people shot dead and killed in the recent uprising against maduro. nearly 800 people have been imprisoned. this government is using actual bullets to shoot and kill its own people. >> that goes back to the fact that's hugo chavez banned gun ownership. again, when you understand that maduro has gold assets over in england and the assets you are talking about with those companies such as citgo. that's why we are blocking those accounts so we can cut him off from having those resources. liz: colonel west made a good point. the bank of england blocked maduro from taking his cold assets out of the bank of england. the u.s. gave up juan guaido control of bank acts in the u.s. the u.s. i

this is what hugo chavez promised. i was just starting out my career on the emerging debt market desk when hugo chavez was elected. it was the summer of 1999. it was a pretty prosperous country. it had a good run. but there were people much like there are people in america today that wanted to redistribute everything. think wanted to take from him to pay off her and vice versa. this is what chavez promised. he promised to close this gap between the rich and the poor. sounded good, right? then nicolas maduro came along and promised the same thing. but promises are just that. they are just promised. they are totally, utter lire worthless -- utterly worth less. she clearly doesn't understand the path. so as americans we must understand the dangers that are out there. dangers that are real, and we must guard against them. here with me now as we watch the chaos unfold in the treats of caracas and later tonight, economist ben stein. good to see you. where are we going wrong right now? i understand we have a problem. the midd

ned, i remember 1999 when hugo chavez tore up that constitution. you know what he did?eme court. i just wonder, if senator gillibrand's desire to see something different on the supreme court has to do with the fact that you have the president getting two appointees and potentially may get another. >> that's right. it's always amazing to me that progressives think things are broken when they lose. think about 2016 when they lost the white house, they thought the electoral college was sexist and racist. now you have senator jill brand saying that scotus is broken and in need of reform. it's bent favorite tool of the progressive left to do an end run around the legislative process and grow the legislative state. a restoration of constitutional order, putting originallive judges on the bench who understand there are three coequal branches. and the judiciary is not meant to be a super judiciary body. trish: having a republic government and checks and balances with freedom, opportunity and capitalism, this is what made america such and success. why do the democrats want to ta

over what amounts to a kleptocracy of a corrupt elite he didn't create it was handed to him by hugo chavez this man who preceded him chavez had to decide who's going to follow him when he died and he annoyed him sort of shortly before he died when i say oil socialism this isn't this model of socialism isn't anything that marx or anybody else would ever would ever think of when the country was in grave crisis for numbers of years and so they turned to this person this military leader who could have it but he had no experience in running anything and he had no opposition party and so forth and what he did over time was he used the largest of the money coming in from oil which is a huge amount of money to distribute but it turned out he didn't build anything it was claimed to list distribution and that only even when the price of oil was highest he was still borrowing money from wall street and later then from the chinese and then from the russians basically to buy elections so they can appear very popular i'm giving money to the poor i'm building this and building that and then you go back l

start with hugo chavez. some time on that, in venezuela is very much on our minds giving what is going on in the wake of hugo chavez. what did you find in your experience? sec. albright: i went to the country, and the place was run by tired old men who did not have a relationship with large portions of the population, especially the indigenous. so i can see how hugo chavez became very appealing. he came to the u.s. and met with president clinton and myself, he was very appealing it is said he would use the money from oil to create a poor peoples fund. and he gets into office and he totally changes, and he becomes very authoritarian, he pit people against each other, and in fact he used that division to his own advantage to get kind of a tribal group that he appealed to against others. and he became very authoritarian. but, this is the important part, all the people that i write about, except for the communists in russia and china who actually did have a revolution, everybody else was elected. and based on th

you're also the son-in-law of hugo chavez.k about that history. >> the history of the bolivian revolution is a process of independence, of giving back the people the rights, of guaranteeing the people have access to health, education, the to theirto culture, national identity, to their sovereignty. that is the venezuelan revolution. democratizing our society, the human rights in venezuela, that is what we're trying to do, using the wealth of the oil and the other natural resources to invest it in the people, for the people, as abraham lincoln said. that is our goal.l. but because e those resources ae not from the u.s. enough or other interests in the world, they are trying to overthrow president chavez and the president maduro. they will continue. president maduro would like to have a conversation with president trump. and it will probably solve some issues because i am sure if they were to talk and see each other in the eyes, they would see they can coexist and they can fulfill some agreements between them. i have not been ab

thank you for being with us. >> thank you. >> hard to know when you see the mess that hugo chavez andaduro sent venezuela into. this is a wealthy country. once the richest country in south america with greater oil reserves than pretty much anybody else in the world. hard to see why it is a bad thing to push that administration out. but the u.s. does have a bad record. the united states record in latin america is checkered to say the least. generally that criticism relates to backing authoritarian governments, particularly in the cold war era. in this case, the united states is on the side of democracy and human rights, rare in u.s. foreign policy these days. >> let me play a little of what john bolton said at a press briefing yesterday about the u.s.'s rationale. >> this action was a statement that the people of venezuela have had enough of oppression, corruption, and economic hardship. since then, 21 other governments in the region and across the world have joined the united states in recognizing him as the interim president. >> what does the u.s. do next. this is always the question

first hugo chavez, then nicolas maduro.ty difficult to deliver on the socialist ideals because there are some basic human instincts that our founding fathers understood and set up a structure in which we could be the best we could be in venezuela. however, they tore up the constitution and consolidated the power. so they were left with politicians who promised a lot and couldn't do any of it. what is the takeaway for americans. we are excited about the opportunity for venezuela to get back on its feet and control its defendant knit any. but what is it we should be wary of when we look at the history of that country and see what the united states is currently going through with this rise and excitement around the social i'm deals? >> the take away for the american people is that freedom works. free markets work. look at this economy. nearly 3 million new jobs created. the president cut taxes, rolled back regulations. appointed conservatives to our towards. he made the right investments in our national security and defense. w

before the arrival of hugo chavez, journalists were highly regarded by society. in venezuela, journalists were at the top tier of popularity. wherever we went, we would be greeted by people, especially the less privileged, who had the hope that once their problem went public, somehow the powerful could give them answers. but who needed journalists when you had an omnipresent leader. from the very beginning, chavez had this idea. he didn't need an institution to hold him accountable. he was above that. we used to have journalists. in 2003, we wrote a proposal for venezuela to create a transparency law similar to the freedom of information act. the communication minister said -- he mentioned it to chavez, and he answered. why do we need it? so that journalists can know what kind of empanada we had for breakfast? currently, the only latin american countries that do not have freedom of information laws and probably this is not going to be a surprise, are cuba, in this case rag would and venezuela. more than once, chavez said, i'm not me. i'm the people and the people

and going on for such a long time because see the decline of the country for many years, under hugo chavezolas maduro and you think it cannot get any worse and it still is that i am wondering how average people deal with this on a daily basis. is there a democratic way out?” with this on a daily basis. is there a democratic way out? i think it remains to be seen whether the national assembly comes up with anything. also whether various movement within the country to back the interim leader and what the military is doing in the next couple of days, but the problem of course is mr maduro has set up like a competing parliament in order to wea ken competing parliament in order to weaken the national assembly which could make things more difficult because you have two bodies claiming to represent the public that could play a role in this. from one political crisis to another and one far closer to home, the times is running on some comments that the queen made when she was speaking at the sandringham women's institute, she said, she was urging the country to seek out common ground. this is not t

hugo chavez made sure he crept to the military and a lot of the military is involved in drug traffickingo the point that many venezuelan generals are considered drug kingpins by the european and united states and canadian governments. the military and venezuela is either going to realize that there's going to be part of the problem or part of the solution. they're either going to recognize that democratically elected national assembly and the person who is now the interim president, juan guaido, or they are going to continue to favor maduro who is illegitimate. the difference between now and a year ago or now and three years ago is that previously, european nations and democratic actors have known that maduro is illegitimate. what they have done differently now is recognize someone as legitimate. believers of power venezuela are no longer going to be in the hands of maduro. this crisis have been going on for more than a decade and it's not going to be resolved in 48 hours. it's going to take some time. >> shannon: i want to ask you what you make of when you hear people here in the comfor

so, they underestimated hugo chavez, during his whole life, basically. that, that is from the point of view of the powerful. but, they did not take into account, the popular support that he had. and that so, denial. you know, like they said okay, we have money, we have power, we have public opinion, so, and he is still, another candidate. so we will be able to handle him. and that did not happen. so, the power full underestimated the president, and i think that is happening right now, with nicholas, and, from the society, the people started to lease their lives, and not caring of what was happening to their neighbors. so, as long as i keep on gaining money, and being okay, and being able to travel, i basically don't care, if someone else is starting to lose their freedoms. the other thing that happened, is fear. when fear is used how, it is very difficult, and again, is a process, nothing that you see, from one day to another. i remember, covering for example, at the very beginning, the protests of medical doctors, because, it has started to be, the scar

and he was also linked to a coup attempt in venezuela in two thousand and two against then leader hugo chavez . looks now at whether the u.s. is following a tried and tested formula in venezuela. starting an uprising a revolution is simple enough first comes the pressure sanctions built up gradually first it was a few officials and then they sanctioned the president and state companies and the government itself through deed and word they helped choke then they into a crisis we are evaluating all of our policy options as to what can we do to create a change of conditions were either liberal decides he doesn't have a future or we can return. the government processes to their constitution we are not going to tolerate the dictatorship he's trying to create is venezuelan people deserve better than what the regime of nicolas maduro offers them now that the country and people are in economic misery and you vilified its leaders pick a hero like thirty five year old u.s. educated head of the national assembly which as it turns out to the united states has been quietly assisting financially and helping

armed forces to support him nicolas maduro has ruled venezuela since the death of his former leader hugo chavez in two thousand and thirteen during that time the economy has nosedived leading to hyperinflation and food shortages the president has consistently blamed to u.s. sanctions for the situation in his country and accuse the opposition of sabotaging the economy. this is an attempt to destabilize us let the must can play the game because they can their own peace we will continue our work because there is much that needs to be done for venezuela really appeal to the people of venezuela to mobilize and remain steadfast. well foamy u.s. diplomats jim death trust believes washington should avoid interfering in venice while its intended effect. clearly a declaration that washington's goal there is a regime change look i don't think it is appropriate for any government to say to the people of another country whether their constitutional processes happened with that of the leaf fall or not whether government is legitimate and to use this as grounds for trying to change the government of that coun

heavily involved in the two thousand and two coup attempt in venezuela to remove duros predecessor hugo chavez it's also important to note that while a number of countries are recognizing wedo this individual who declared himself the interim president of venezuela and a number of countries are still recognizing and standing by nicolas maduro the elected leader there are some countries that are giving kind of an ultimatum and saying that they want a new election within eight days even though that as well as constitution does not provide for that to take place now the russian ambassador to the u.n. addressed those giving. this ultimatum this was his response certainly was you know it's a very strange way that you're proposing to prevent this crisis by putting food in the eight day old to meet him you completely disregard the sovereignty of venezuela imposing this is you prefer i'm rejecting it's people's right to resolve their own problems. what you're doing is look at prevention it's called incitement was kaleb mention of there germany france spain and the u.k. have put down a deadline for pres
