The nation of Venezuela is a pretty hot topic these days – and rightfully so. The recent history of deadly drug trafficking into the US, the theft through nationalization of almost an entire oil industry and other factors have led to the arrest of Venezuelan president Nicolas Maduro.    

Join Bud and his guest co-host Venezuelan native and Integrity member Omar Lugo, for part 2 of their discussion on the Venezuelan period of the 1990s and the early 2000s.  Omar takes us into an in-depth look at how Hugo Chavez, a smooth-talking and seditious leader imprisoned for leading a revolt against the Venezuelan government, was able to charm a country into giving him their votes.  From this newly acquired seat of power, he was able to complete the theft of the U.S. investment in the oil fields of this beautiful country - an investment that had made Venezuela one of the richest countries in the world.
