1
00:00:00,200 --> 00:00:04,519
Speaker 1: When Venezuela turned to socialism, liberals here were thrilled celebrities,

2
00:00:04,519 --> 00:00:08,440
Speaker 1: college professors, the media, democrat politicians. They couldn't wait to

3
00:00:08,600 --> 00:00:12,959
Speaker 1: genuflect before the thug dictator. Here go Chavez, especially when

4
00:00:12,960 --> 00:00:16,400
Speaker 1: he smeared America and Bush forty three at the u N. Well, now,

5
00:00:16,440 --> 00:00:19,680
Speaker 1: almost twenty years later, Venezuela has gone down the tubes.

6
00:00:19,760 --> 00:00:23,440
Speaker 1: There are shortages of everything, including power, even though it's

7
00:00:23,440 --> 00:00:26,840
Speaker 1: an oil rich country. There are thousands upon thousands of

8
00:00:26,840 --> 00:00:30,680
Speaker 1: failed businesses. The economy is in absolute shambles. But this

9
00:00:30,720 --> 00:00:33,760
Speaker 1: past weekend was the clearest demonstration yet of how bad

10
00:00:33,800 --> 00:00:37,600
Speaker 1: things are. Over one hundred thousand people on foot across

11
00:00:37,680 --> 00:00:41,559
Speaker 1: a new border checkpoint from Venezuela into Colombia, and they

12
00:00:41,560 --> 00:00:44,879
Speaker 1: were searching for food. They were trying to buy rice, milk, flour,

13
00:00:44,960 --> 00:00:48,320
Speaker 1: other basic commodities they can't get at home. Well, they

14
00:00:48,320 --> 00:00:50,920
Speaker 1: can get it on Venezuela's flourishing black market if they

15
00:00:50,960 --> 00:00:53,159
Speaker 1: can afford to pay the ten thousand percent mark up

16
00:00:53,240 --> 00:00:56,800
Speaker 1: for food. In some cities, people are scavenging dumpsters, even

17
00:00:56,840 --> 00:01:00,280
Speaker 1: taking spoiled vegetables and bones to have some thing to

18
00:01:00,320 --> 00:01:03,600
Speaker 1: feed their families. None of this misery is an accident, folks.

19
00:01:03,640 --> 00:01:06,560
Speaker 1: It is a direct result of the socialist policies of

20
00:01:06,640 --> 00:01:10,960
Speaker 1: Hugo Chavez and his successor. And now that Venezuela's economies

21
00:01:10,959 --> 00:01:14,560
Speaker 1: and collapse and unrest is spreading, our liberally leads are

22
00:01:14,720 --> 00:01:18,560
Speaker 1: nowhere to be found. You could say Venezuela's chickens have

23
00:01:18,720 --> 00:01:21,720
Speaker 1: come home to roost. But if a chicken shows up

24
00:01:21,720 --> 00:01:25,240
Speaker 1: there these days, it's days are over. It's snatched up

25
00:01:25,240 --> 00:01:27,200
Speaker 1: for dinner, it's in a pot before it even knows

26
00:01:27,240 --> 00:01:28,160
Speaker 1: what the squawk about.
