WEBVTT - Rush Limbaugh Jun 14, 2021

0:00:00.200 --> 0:00:04.519
<v Speaker 1>When Venezuela turned to socialism, liberals here were thrilled celebrities,

0:00:04.519 --> 0:00:08.440
<v Speaker 1>college professors, the media, democrat politicians. They couldn't wait to

0:00:08.600 --> 0:00:12.959
<v Speaker 1>genuflect before the thug dictator. Here go Chavez, especially when

0:00:12.960 --> 0:00:16.400
<v Speaker 1>he smeared America and Bush forty three at the u N. Well, now,

0:00:16.440 --> 0:00:19.680
<v Speaker 1>almost twenty years later, Venezuela has gone down the tubes.

0:00:19.760 --> 0:00:23.440
<v Speaker 1>There are shortages of everything, including power, even though it's

0:00:23.440 --> 0:00:26.840
<v Speaker 1>an oil rich country. There are thousands upon thousands of

0:00:26.840 --> 0:00:30.680
<v Speaker 1>failed businesses. The economy is in absolute shambles. But this

0:00:30.720 --> 0:00:33.760
<v Speaker 1>past weekend was the clearest demonstration yet of how bad

0:00:33.800 --> 0:00:37.600
<v Speaker 1>things are. Over one hundred thousand people on foot across

0:00:37.680 --> 0:00:41.559
<v Speaker 1>a new border checkpoint from Venezuela into Colombia, and they

0:00:41.560 --> 0:00:44.879
<v Speaker 1>were searching for food. They were trying to buy rice, milk, flour,

0:00:44.960 --> 0:00:48.320
<v Speaker 1>other basic commodities they can't get at home. Well, they

0:00:48.320 --> 0:00:50.920
<v Speaker 1>can get it on Venezuela's flourishing black market if they

0:00:50.960 --> 0:00:53.159
<v Speaker 1>can afford to pay the ten thousand percent mark up

0:00:53.240 --> 0:00:56.800
<v Speaker 1>for food. In some cities, people are scavenging dumpsters, even

0:00:56.840 --> 0:01:00.280
<v Speaker 1>taking spoiled vegetables and bones to have some thing to

0:01:00.320 --> 0:01:03.600
<v Speaker 1>feed their families. None of this misery is an accident, folks.

0:01:03.640 --> 0:01:06.560
<v Speaker 1>It is a direct result of the socialist policies of

0:01:06.640 --> 0:01:10.960
<v Speaker 1>Hugo Chavez and his successor. And now that Venezuela's economies

0:01:10.959 --> 0:01:14.560
<v Speaker 1>and collapse and unrest is spreading, our liberally leads are

0:01:14.720 --> 0:01:18.560
<v Speaker 1>nowhere to be found. You could say Venezuela's chickens have

0:01:18.720 --> 0:01:21.720
<v Speaker 1>come home to roost. But if a chicken shows up

0:01:21.720 --> 0:01:25.240
<v Speaker 1>there these days, it's days are over. It's snatched up

0:01:25.240 --> 0:01:27.200
<v Speaker 1>for dinner, it's in a pot before it even knows

0:01:27.240 --> 0:01:28.160
<v Speaker 1>what the squawk about.
