people looking at depictions of hugo chavez and other historical figures. it was on a wall at the old payless shoe storeew owner ordered the mural painted over. >> not only did they take down our mural but our history, our culture. >> reporter: he says he tried to save the mural when he found out the store was closing. it was painted more than 30 years ago by a muralist and became a fabric of east san jose. >> reporter: carlos drew the original apple logo. >> i'm very upset. for us latinos, it's about, this is a part of our culture. this is who we are. >> reporter: it is believed the build bei building owner may have broken a state law called the california state preservation act. >> from an artistic stand point, it's kind of a slap in the face. >> reporter: the person who covered the mural yesterday originally left one picture on the wall, a small depiction of the virgin mary. today mary is gone as well. it's still unclear who the owner of the building is. even the city doesn't know. a council member's office told me he tried to get ahold of the owner back

then you had oil seizure, freeze in the oil production that pedevesa didn't like what hugo chavez was doing with the oil company. so they ceased production. they went on strike. chavez then put, cleaned them all out and put military in charge. that was the beginning of the end. oil price is very high. david: they kicked out the people that knew what they were doing. it just went down. >> exactly. david: let me ask, bottom line here, there is $150 billion in international debt outstanding with venezuela. >> yeah. david: they're behind, delinquent on $5 billion so far in payments. >> yeah. david: they were relying on some of that citgo income to pay off the debts. they don't have that anymore. they will go into default very soon, are they not. >> absolutely. the treasury decision two weeks ago to allow trading in the 2020 pedevesa bond seemed like a generous gesture. no, it was about the failure of citgo. by allowing trading in the bond, it allowed bondholders to make a claim. opened it up with defunct canadian mining company crystalex for 1.4 billion. now bondholders will come. two for

. >> you were very clear in the beginning because clearly chavistas, and hugo chavez promoted el sistemaood and your position was i don't need to be political. i work through my music and the music talks for itself, and now you've beany more physical against the violence and maduro has canceled his trips and how did this affected with the venezuelan musicians? >> my relationship with the musicians is still the same, last saturday and tomorrow i would -- i had a rehearsal with them through face time and yes, for two hours we were working with the national youth orchestra and tomorrow when we have another one with the national choir and the national youth orchestra. i keep and i have meetings every week. we have the people working there, so my connection is still the same. ♪ ♪ >> that's incredible. so you're conducting the l.a. phil harmonic, you're touring and you were still training the musicians through facetime, because you had to. i've made the commitment from the be finning and from the middle i've s.t.a.r.t.ed in the el sistema and when i -- when i did the statement about all of the

. >> it's partf a decade-long fight over aold mine in venezuela and hugo chavez nationalized the minend gave it to venezuela's oil company known as -- and after a series of agreements and favorable court they now own more than $1 billion to crystal x. >> the u.s. marshals have served and we have the federal warrant or that served perveza in the unitedtates. it's called pvd holing and it owns citgo. so they hay actua been served with this $1.4 billion writ of attachment as they call it. so they have to pay now. the problem is that cash-strapped venezuela had the money to pay the debt with three big oil refineries and oil rminals and pipe leans, citgo is worth many tis that $1.4 million and debtors and possible buyers are now lining up. if ends up being sold off in total or in parts, exper t say day to day operation of the company is not at risk, at least not for long and most of theanagement team i in houston and the gas stations are independently owned and not at risk either. cnbc reached out to citgo for comment, but did not hear back in time for the broadcast. the question is what h

both president maduro and hugo chavez who ruled the current for 13 years, they both claimed many timeshe target of assassination attempt or a coup plot. both people from within the socialist party were challenging the leadership or opposition are arguing it could have been an inside job. there are still many questions unanswered. as often happens here in venezuela, it's hard to understand what's actually the truth. you may remember last year in june, a commando pilot stole a helicopter and threw grenades at the supreme court. that fact left many questions unanswered and we're still waiting to hear from the attorney general what he will update us later today, john. >> following this strange story with remarkable video. >> that was wonderful context, how expensive it is and how hard it is to fly a drone, not like here. we're following a lot of news. let's get right to it. >> it was such a nothing, there was nothing to tell. >> we now know from the president's purpose of the meeting was to get dirt on hillary clinton. >> i had bad information at that point, made a mistake in my statement.

in the past 20 years, no one from the opposition groups tried to assassinate hugo chavez or himself.dam: they are trying to blame the clommans. colombians. you would think they would have blamed us. they have always blamed us for the situation they are in. >> in a second-hand way he tried to blame the united states of america. nicolas maduro said the policies they tried to institute have failed. the nationalizing of production. it's possible he created this to shift the blame away from the failures to crack down on those opposing him. adam: you have an economy that's collapsed. a country that can produce oil. they don't own their oil. the chinese own their oil. could you see some kind of chinese action to secure their oil supply that's owed to them? >> i think the likeliest scenario is if this was an assassination attempt it many the venezuelans who did it. the most of shocking thing was maduro pulling out of his pocket an empanda and eating it while people are starving. i would say that's probably the likeliest. if he's resorting to this as suspected that he staged this alleged assa

erdogan has obviously got that pamphlet written by hugo chavez and nicholas maduro how to run a country in the toilet. that is what he is doing. he is actually following their template to a t. guess what they will not have any toilet paper or diapers on the shelves that will come real soon. >> the election was a few months ago. i think they're stuck with him for the long term. >> that was no election. david: gary, lenore, good to see you both. melissa. melissa: here at home president trump's tariffs on steel and aluminum imported are providing benefits but some businesses are not faring as well. adam shapiro is live in popular bluff, missouri, i'm sure i said that wrong with details. adam, straighten me out. reporter: you got it right, i'm at pollar bluff. largest maker of nails like you use in the nail gun for construction. the tariffs hit hard. this facility is totally empty. they got up to full production this facility in november. they shut down in june. 150 people laid off. look at some video we shot this morning. they are still producing nails here but only 50% capacity. they're n

since hugo chavez imposed socialism on the country, it has spiraled over downward. of course, some major hollywood figures were once chavez's big boosters. >> the bush administration does not like this guy because he represents an anticorporate interest. he's taken over the oil and he has distributed it to the poor people. >> certainly, chavez, when he started, was on the right path,t because he wanted to return this country to the people. >> laura: bowling for relevance. moore and company is of course now devoted to taking down trump.vo where their irrational fury is a badge of honor, mr. president.l chavez employed government control, commandeered a once free media, and presided over the collapse of this country in a swirl of corruption unseennt even in latin america. his successor, nicolas maduro, took the reins. "the washington post" reporting now that venezuela's crisis is steadily get intensifying as a result of lower oil prices, corruption, and a socialist system plagued with mismanagement. as nicolas maduro has sought to further consolidate power, the econom

there's also this clip of former president hugo chavez championing all kinds of victory for venezuela it's been widely shared by supporters over the past day so where are his opponents you may ask. well opposition leader maria kareena machado has been posting several times in our denouncing the economic plan and criticizing majoris leadership we've also seen calls for a national strike on tuesday there's a youth group known as vent to hovan which posted a video on twitter calling for me to resign. the most mis syrian economic measure of venezuela needs is the resignation of madieu and his mouth you do not believe in our economy is experiencing a high level of instability that's why we see businesses closing their doors stopping production while also increasing the price of goods while salaries don't increase any momentum for the moment to unite under one theme objective enough of monroe and his power hungry mafia. so what do you think of venezuela's new economic plan you can let us know using the hash tag newsgroup or message me directly on twitter at andrew shapiro all right andrew t

hugo chÁvez had redeemed socialism after the collapse of the warsaw pack with union.stay there, mark, we love you, we have more later on. look at the leadline in the wall street journal, here it is, trump's ultimate disruption already weak political parties are losing ground to ideologies and personalities, the man who wrote that is dan henninger, you're writing trump as great disruptor. >> that's for sure. let's talk with a baseline fact, the results in ohio 12, this was a district the republicans should have carried by a large number of votes, it was basically a dead heat, troy balderson winning by less than 1% okay, trump disrupted the republican party, he's made it the party of trump, but the fact is that there are a lot of right of center voters that feel smothered and squeezed by the overpowering presence of trump and have been looking for other ways out. one example was the koch brothers, the fight with them was canary like e monomusk tweets, it's too much for them. now they've pretty much dropped out. i call them fair-weather trumpers, they like policies but t

many of hugo chavez's policies have backfired.e the local currency for dollars, they had to apply to the government. with many venezuelans unable to freely buy foreign currency, the black markets flourished and inflation rose. the country's annual inflation rate is currently the world's hires. inflation is when prices rise for goods and services. in the uk, the inflation rate is around 2.4%. in venezuela in april, it was estimated to be 18,000%! when the inflation rate is that high, people start hoarding things like food and fuel, which has also led to shortages. even though the oil price is rising and there is some hope, the problem is, hundreds and thousands have left venezuela, leading to a brain drain. there are also allegations of widespread corruption and the government's hostile attitude towards private businesses has alienated potential foreign investors. that is why there are so many fingers been pointed by so many people at who tried to kill venezuela's president. so who could be behind this? or was it all a stunt as som

most of the people i worked with, 15 to 20 years ago before hugo chavez came in, they're dead.d down by those socialist regimes and killed. all of the companies now we're working with down there now, especially american or international companies, their companies are loss leaders down there. they can not convert their money to dollars. the government owes companies millions and millions of dollars. they default on those loans. so these companies now can not convert any of that to taxes back in the u.s. it is complete anarchy. the last piece, folks i know, middle class, upper middle class in venezuela, they're having to flee the country, bringing their families into the caribbean. some are now working at minimum wage or some are living on the streets in subcaribbean countries because they can't get them jobs. stuart: jim, that is a good wrap-up what is going on the ground there. turn your attention to the trump administration. what should we do about what's going on down there? >> one key factor the trump administration has to look at this become as national defense issue. when

but changed things after he because like hugo chavez. >> sacked half the military, didn't he. neil: they're alive to tell it. guys, thank you very much. meantime it is uncanny, it happened again. anyone who aligns himself with the president or the president with them, they do okay. if you call the president unhinged and you're a republican, oh, boy, after this. my father passed this truck down to me, that's the same thing i want to do with you. it's an emotional thing to watch your child grow up and especially get behind the wheel. i want to keep you know, stacking up the memories and the miles and the years. he's gonna get mine but i'm gonna get a new one! oh yeah! he's gonna get mine but i'm gonna get a new one! when it's time for your old chevy truck to become their new chevy truck, there's truck month. get 10 or 14 percent below msrp on 2018 silverado pickups when you finance with gm financial. plus, during truck month make no monthly payments for 90 days. find new roads at your local chevy dealer. retail. under pressure like never before. and it's connected technology tha

the thing about it, general, every one of these leaders -- hugo chavez way before him -- this idea youverything even in a country that presumably has the means to pay for it with oil, you eventually run out of that money and options, and the crook erie and -- crookly and thievery makes you run out even faster, doesn't it? >> yeah, it's tragic. this was the richest country in south america for years and was so helpful to, you know, the other countries when they were struggling during the '70s and '80s. neil: sure. >> this is 19 years in the making, neil, as you well know. this is not something that happened overnight. this is one government after another, socialist government, and they just flat, as you said, it couldn't be said any were be, just run out of other people's money. and that is where we are. and this guy, maduro, i'm not an economist. he's got some recovery plan that's coming this week -- [laughter] that doesn't seem to make any sense. he's going to increase the minimum wage from $1 a month to $30 a month. he's created a new currency because the current one is almost valuel

regime, you see the culmination of socialist that began in 1999 when vel -- venezuelans voted for hugo chÁvezple protesting, it's hard to time, i'm afraid maduro has potentially some durability still, it's hard to predict. stuart: what action if any should america take? >> i think we are already doing good things, we've switched in the trump administration from what obama did, obama reached out the chÁvez, friendly hand, gave him the brother handshake when they met and switching to a situation now where vice president mike pence goes down to the america's repeatedly and put a spotlight on the regime misconduct, oppression, the effective socialist policies, venezuelans didn't like that much and called that as poisonous viper, there's pretty strong sign that is this was fake, this was done by the regime to enagainer sympathy. stuart: on the program we said why don't we have a cia have quiet chat with generals in venezuela, free passage to miami and get that regime out, would you suggest any kind of intervention like that at all? >> i think that would be fine, certainly the marcos suite in honol

happen there with venezuela's assets that they currently have being seized back from them, of course hugo chavezoil industry there is certainly a potential source of pain watching what will happen this fall moving forward. >> all right, patrick, thank you for joining us. >> my pleasure. >> patrick dehaan from gas buddy. >>> coming up, stock ideas and market predictions from guest host steve grasso. check out the futures which you just saw about a minute and a half ago but check them out again. we'll be right back. year, i am sorry about that.
