Transcript
00:00And I woke up to the word dictatorship.
00:02They put the word dictatorship
00:04in the article about Venezuela.
00:05Curiously, the article did not mention any such thing.
00:08I'm sure the last minute order from above,
00:11some editor said they had to put the word
00:12dictatorship in the headline.
00:15And that is totally out of place.
00:17And of course, the reality that they describe
00:19is likewise totally not the reality here.
00:22It's actually, I've never seen the city so quiet.
00:24I mean, we're after, this is post-Christmas in Venezuela.
00:27Christmas is an extremely important holiday
00:29and post-Christmas is always somewhat lethargic.
00:32And so the city is very quiet and there were marches.
00:36The opposition march was notably small
00:40and the Chavista march was impressively big
00:43and enthusiastic.
