About this episode
PragerU CEO Marissa Streit and Venezuelan PragerU host Franklin Camargo break down what happens after Maduro’s capture, and what it will really take to rebuild Venezuela. Franklin explains how socialism turned the richest country in Latin America into a nation of empty shelves, food lines, and oppressive brutality. They also discuss why China, Russia, Iran, and Cuba entrenched themselves in Venezuela, and why this crisis isn’t just Venezuela’s problem, it’s America’s.
