I'm Ambi Horowitz. We are outside the
detention center where Nicholas Maduro
of Venezuela is being held. Here's a
protest in support of one of the world's
great dictators. Let's find out why
they're here. And as always, subscribe
below.
>> Cow down with occupation.
And we're here today to stand in full
solidarity with the boy's grand
revolution and the Maduro presidency.
The legitimate and democratically
elected Maduro presidency.
>> Now, they did have an election recently.
A lot of places say it was fine.
>> He is a president that's loved by his
people. Can't take away everything that
this man has done for his people as
well.
>> Was Maduro a revolutionary hero?
>> So, you're asking Maduro is my buddy.
>> The answer is yes.
>> Your question definitely. How immoral
and illegal is the arrest of an
international leader like Maduro?
>> I mean, it's insane.
>> Illegal and immoral is not even the
word.
>> Should I mean, should we arrest BB
Netanyahu?
>> Yes, 100%. We should arrest him.
>> But you you do recognize a little bit of
hypocrisy when it comes to that though,
right? About not arresting Maduro, but
arresting BB.
>> Uh, what do you mean?
>> Under Maduro, um, hundreds of thousands
of people have been killed. I mean
that's kind of genocidy also. Now
>> I am not 100% familiar on on everything
that he was doing over there.
>> Venezuela is the number one country in
the world. One of the most producing
countries with oil, with with
vegetables, all type of stuff. It's a
very successful country. A lot of
>> great vegetables, man. Underrated
vegetables.
>> Great vegetables, everything. The thing
is that you can't listen to what you
they say on the media. Do your own
research on this stuff, guys. Um, we do
know that
the socialists in Venezuela have lifted
the standard of living for their people,
>> but it has a 96% poverty rate. The
people are hundreds of thousands of
people have starved to death in
Venezuela.
>> Honestly, if there's people that starve,
the number one problem is to feed them.
Because if we being honest, there's
countries like Cuba, like Russia that
have similar governments, but their
leaders are loved. They're successful.
People are not starving to death.
>> I mean, Venezuela, they kind of are.
>> Should we model our country after
Venezuela?
>> You should definitely model certain
aspects of Venezuela's economy to our
economy and our people.
>> Let me ask you this. What do you think
of Americans who want to bring
socialism, democratic socialism into
America?
Look, end of the day, would you rather
live in America under Trump or
Venezuela? UNDER MADURO?
>> YEAH. YEAH, I would rather live there.
Yeah, sure.
>> Under Maduro?
>> Yeah.
>> I would 100% live under Maduro
Venezuela.
>> Honestly, I would live under Maduro any
day. Honestly, I know plenty of
Venezuelan people that have pictures of
him in their house. They cuz he saved
their life. Well,
>> by by law, you have to otherwise they
kill you. But regardless,
