Dude , I had to stop the car to write this comment! As a Venezuelan I disagree with this guy! The United States did not put us in hunger and misery! The revolution did it!

I was born and raised in Latin America. Trust me, Oliver Stone has absolutely no clue what he's talking about. Boomers like him, have this romantic notion of a revolution, that comes from their silly perceptions from the 60s and 70s. They see those socialist tin pot dictators as good, when in reality, they're corrupt and inept. Then, not surprisingly, he blames American sanctions, when he ignores the atrocious policies that Chavez and now Maduro, have enacted.
I like some of Stone's opinions but when it comes to Commies he never gets it. If he thinks that Venezuelans are a group to depend on or sympathize with then he does not know Venezuelans or their history. Venezuelans destroyed their on country because a Marxist Chauvez promised them 'free shit' and utopia. I was there 34 years ago, I don't care for Venezuelans.
96% of venezuelans are poor, way to go for a revolution, Maduro is not a socialist, he is a narco dictator, people who are « free to leave « have left because of lack of opportunity of work. If the 7 million of Venezuelans that have left the country (more than Siria,) but no one talks about it, doesn’t tell you something about the countries ‘ situation, I have my doubts about Oliver stones’ intellect. Total disconnection from the reality we live in Venezuela
Why is that ? US Sanction's. They are oil rich and would be a thriving economy if it was not for US sanction's. Same for Cuba, Iran etc. I don't understand why this is such a complex issue for people like you to understand.

As a Venezuelan who migrated to usa over 30 years ago I can definitely tell you our education system and live were excellent before Chavez took power, yes there was a lot of corruption, yes there was some poverty, but most of the people were well educated, after chavez socialism took over everything went down hill, earlier in the 2000s most of the well educated people left the country for better opportunities because of chavez expropiation, that's way the USA is getting the "not so good people" on this migration wave
I dont believe this guy, wtf im venezuelan and I went out of that dictatorship, you couldnt be so ignorant about it on purpose, I believe on free speech but when someone talk such nonsense about MY country like that im repulse
Oliver Stone how ignorant can you be ? Venezuela was a top country in the Television industry making all kinds of TV shows. Saying that Chavez educated them is total and complete ignorance from a foolish Hollywood elite !
Venezuela's had free education since 1870 (yes, eighteen seventy). The scholarship programs in the 1970s and 80s sent +50,000 people to the best universities around the world (and they came back with shitty leftiost ideas that precipitated the current disaster as many of them ended up teaching in our universities and schools). All paid with oil money.
Prosperity based on GDP?? If Jeff Bezos enters a room with 10,000 beggars suddenly they're all millionaires. Sure Venezuela was prosperous but a lot of Venezuelans weren't sharing in it. How did Chavez get elected in the first place if Venezuelans were so prosperous? Revolutions just don't happen in countries where most people are prospering.
I mean she lost the election so obviously not. Maybe if those who left remained & voted sure would have won but she didn't win so. Let's not forget she is a U.S backed puppet. Since our attempt at a coup didn't work last time.
Worked with some Venezuelan immigrants on a 3 week labor contract due to having a 300% turnover. Asked a couple guys who were learning English why they fled. They said "Maduro no good." Told me he planned to go back when things got better.
Well shit ain't gunna get any better anytime soon while we continue to elect presidents that get in their knees for their Corporate Owner's The moment Sanctions are lifted Venezuela will slowly start to recover
I am a first generation Venezuelan American. Oliver Stone is totally ignorant for supporting Maduro. He should live there as an average Joe for six months then come back and talk to me.
He' a focking eccentric director of films. Who gies a crap what he has to say about things outside of his job description. Why continue asking actors about government?
Oliver stone was a soldier in Vietnam. Not everyone who works for Hollywood operates under the same ideology. You have to look at individuals and critically think about your assessments of people.
@TorontoHighGuy Dude that was over 40 years ago. Stone has spent the last 40 years as a Hollywood Director or writer what have you. A lot can change for a person in 40 Effing years. I used to run the streets as a teen running with a gang. I was shot and almost died. That was 30 years ago. Today I don't run with a gang and I am a proud Conservative. A lot changes. I guarantee you if I all of sudden was offered millions to direct Movies my life would change and I would change. People who live in a bubble like the Hollywood bubble live in a different reality.
If Maduro is so unique and Venezuela is so great, why don’t they go live there? It’s very easy to talk about revolution from the comfort of the United States and with all their millions. If everything is so perfect, why am I here in the U.S. and not in my country? Don’t be fooled by empty and soulless words.
Your knowledge on MY COUNTRY IS SO FCKN NAIVE. You have alot to learn I would happily go to Venezuela as soon as MY COUNTRY removes the sanctions that are causing mass poverty & economic disaster. You seriously think the Venezuelan economy crumbled because of Maduro? Lol Usually when the BIGGEST ECONOMY IN THE WORLD Sanctions A country And also does not allow other countries to trade with them the result is inflation, shortages & economic pain. That's literally the intention of those Sanctions. 🙄🤣🤣 If you wanna blame anyone Blame Trump for pushing the sanctions & Biden got continuing them.
Lol Your gonna learn fairly quick that the U.S doesn't have corruption because it's not illegal. Lol You'll also realize soon that no one actually owns anything rather everything people have is debt.
@ricomajestic I did, in 2014, and let me tell you, you can not win throwing stones. Meanwhile, they are firing gas and bullets, that's why you need to defend the 2nd amendment!
Just because someone is an entertainer or famous doesn't mean that they have no clue, experience, research & caring about a subject can make one more knowledgeable then most politicians. Why should anyone listen to you when you try making a point ? Also majority of politicians are not very bright & have done a terrible job
Not a fanboy he explained how the United States is fawking Venezuela RAW no Vaseline, and the most politically correct thing to do is blame the “socialist”.
Oliver Stone loved Fidel Castro. That should tell you everything. Even Fidel Castro looked at him funny when he shot a documentary in Cuba. He should stick to movies.
They still have free Healthcare, though, unlike medical racket in US. US should just stick to its business, and stop destroying and looting other countries with wars and economic blockades
This guy doesn’t know what he’s talking about. The regime in Venezuela has caused significant harm to Venezuelans. Just because people can leave the country doesn’t mean it’s a democratic and fair government. How do you explain that a country with one of the largest oil reserves in the world has the majority of its population living below the poverty line?
If you say Venezuela is not a dictatorship and everything is fine there, you are either bought by the government or you are utterly ignorant. In this case I think he’s enjoying many privileges from the Venezuelan government.
Patrick handled that interview like a g. That thing could have went South so many times. But he kept it on course to be on Good terms with everyone but yet have a difference of opinion 👍👍👍👍
You should not be in good terms with evil. The guy is wrong. People not just leave. There is pain, death, and suffering behind the biggest migration, percentage wise, in modern recorded history. You stop and stand in front of someone saying stuff like that
“How many people did they make” Sir, Venezuela’s education system wasn’t the best of course but gave us millions of high professionals, tell us how much of that has done the “revolution for us destroying our society morals and values. I can’t take that guy serious after hearing this.
So Trump the basically anti-war President is going to start a war with Venezuela? When in his first four years did the Abraham Peace Accords, did a peace deal with North Korea and walked across the DMZ, is it going to start a war with a second world (at best) South American country? And for Oil? America has energy and energy to sell!😂
Don't even need a war to get rid of the Maduro regime. His own people are aching to get rid of this "great guy", and at this point the situation in Venezuela is so untenable it'll only be a matter of time before the military turns on him. Very unlikely Maduro will still be around as president of Venezuela by the end of Trump's second term. Pretty unlikely he'll even be alive anymore. And good riddance.
Ummm. I have friends who live there yeah shit isn't the best right now but they know it's not not because Maduro Has he made mistakes sure but all the cuts to lights & water aren't because of him. There's a little thing called sanctions whose goal is to cause extreme suffering amongst the population.
This guy talking about my country is literally propaganda. I am embarrassed by just listening this. Is sick and you should have call him out for real, being this respectful to those people is just disgusting.
I hope you guys could also have on air the point of view of one of the 8M+ venezuelans that had to flee the country thanks to socialism, not only condescendent politicians and show business people used to praise anti american dictators as "intelectual" sport.
He’s lying about people just being able to leave Venezuela. We have friends that live in Venezuela and they’re in their 90’s, Venezuela makes it extremely difficult to visit us.
Venezuela makes it difficult? Lol Sure that's why millions of Venezuelans have moved to Chile, Argentina & the U S? Any 90 yr old would find it extremely difficult to travel to a foreign nation. Also it's the U S that makes it difficult we are the ones who impose visa requirements Which includes the need to get a American Visa which can only be obtained at a U.S Consulate or Embassy after submitting documentation of assets, income etc. And after a cost of about $275. Then they still would need to get a permission for their visit which would allow them to stay up to 3 months Why don't you just go to Venezuela.? Their visa requirements are far less restrictive as we can use our U S Passports & requests permission upon arrival .
This is the Problem with so many people. Instead of actually trying to get to the truth we as humans take the lazy approach & blame the country we are told is "Bad"
I remember being a child going hungry in Cuba and without freedom and watching this character Oliver Stone on television traveling throughout Cuba with Fidel Castro and admiring the revolution, what else could I ask of this shameless man?🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬
Sorry Patrick, this Oliver guy is clueless about Venezuela. Maduro is a tyrant dictator and nothing more. And yes I have personally been to Venezuela and seen the hardships those people live under.
Oliver Stone is a person that I listen to a lot. Besides being one of the greatest filmmakers alive, he has great ideas. Unfortunately, he has gotten it monumentally wrong about Venezuela. My family has suffered a lot. He says he’s not a tyranny because “people can leave”. Is he aware of how people are leaving? Also that’s a ridiculous argument. The prisons, the stealing of elections, police brutality, are you kidding me? How can someone so talented be so clueless? Unless, because it fits his ideology, he can give Maduro and Chavez a pass. Then, that doesn’t make him clueless. That then makes them an accomplice.
I'm an American and have been living in Brasil for almost 8 years. I agree on the Venezuela issue. This has been brewing since 2014. This has taken a major back burner and almost non-existant on the media outlets here. That itself speaks 100 words! Great conversation!!
@@guilleport Any system can function without corruption. Calling someone Bolshevik or communist as if it were an insult demonstrates stubborn ignorance.

He is an empty superficial shill On so many topics . Yet, wow can he speak with such conviction as if he is the authority on the subject.

My God 82% of Venezuela are living in poverty. 50% of the people live below poverty. Yes, America contribute to their suffering but they need to overthrow the government
Oliver definitely does not know what he's talking about on Venezuela. My wife is from Venezuela her family still there. It sucks and Maduro has ruined that country. This is coming from Venezuela not rich Americans.
The level of ignorance 🫠 Oliver Stone enjoyed the corruption of the rich Venezuela with Chavez. Now he can’t recognize Maduro and the country in ruins. Pat, congratulations on keeping your cool, in still trying to come down my nerves since I heard Oliver’s idiotic and simplistic comments
The suffering in Venezuela, Cuba, and other Latin American countries is always bc they resist being under the control of the C1A and US corporate oligarchs. Most countries can prosper when they are not sanctioned and politically destabilised by C1A regime changes and drug trafficking.
Bizarre how Americans will blame their own country for literally everything wrong in the world today. Never seen so many traitors in my life. About time we started painting the border wall with you guys.
People in Venezuela can leave whenever they want (if they have a house or apartment to sell), but they don’t leave because they want to-that would be tourism. Do you really think a woman takes her 2-year-old child and starts walking to the U.S., risking being bitten by a tiger or a snake, being assaulted, or even worse, becoming a sexual slave to some mafia, without knowing where her child will end up, just because she doesn’t like Maduro?
My question for you is.. How ? How we (venezuelan people) do something against Maduro regime if we are not any arms or weapon?? Just tell me how... they stole us elections, they take our freedom to decide... Maduro is a narco-dictatorship.
He has no clue what he’s talking about. My whole family has been in the US since I was 4 to not suffer from the life that he has given the citizens of my country. I am now 20 years old and a huge fan of PBD. Go capitalism and go freedom baby.
4:59 as Venezuelan I knew that I shouldn’t watch this episode, and I took a deep breath to watch this clip. Oliver Stone is factually disqualified to speak anything about Venezuela since he got just one side of history and not casually in the context of an invitation from Hugo Chavez. Not to mention that if He’s in fact leftist, He won’t criticize nothing. There are way more than 8millions of Venezuelans abroad. Important to mention that there isn’t a declared w4r, which could be a reason to leave. It’s simply outrageous that we still need to contradict clowns like this.
I deeply respect Oliver Stone. He is one of my favorite Americans. Patriots like him have no place in today’s America and if he didn’t have the fame he had, I’m sure they’d teach him a lesson. Patrick you repeat the party lines so much, I sometimes doubt you are genuinely after the truth.
Mr. Oliver you do not know anything about Venezuela or Economic. Go and live in Venezuela, so you can really know why Venezuelan people are leaving there country, but I know you will not do it. You’re so comfortable living the American dream in the US and talking none sense. Cannot get easier right…
I normally relate to Oliver Stone But having lived in Latin America for decades I gotta say He's got it all wrong on Maduro in Venezuela.. But hey, nobodies right all the time.

I cannot believe stone is so incredibly ignorant about Maduro. What a dirtbag.
Turd that maduro dropped this morning into toilet is better man than any yankeestani politician ever. 😂
I am Venezuelan. Tell him to live one year as an average citizen.
“No hope there”…, as in for the old Venezuela? The old Venezuela was the most prosperous country in South America. Oliver is clueless.
Prosperity based on GDP?? If Jeff Bezos enters a room with 10,000 beggars suddenly they're all millionaires. Sure Venezuela was prosperous but a lot of Venezuelans weren't sharing in it. How did Chavez get elected in the first place if Venezuelans were so prosperous? Revolutions just don't happen in countries where most people are prospering.
OMG Im Venezuelan I can't Believe Oliver Stone. Old Venezuelan we were so much better than today.
Sure lets talk about americsn santions shall we?
He said Maria Corina wants to go back to the old Venezuela.... So does the majority of Venezuelans, I give him that
I mean she lost the election so obviously not.
Maybe if those who left remained & voted sure would have won but she didn't win so.
Let's not forget she is a U.S backed puppet.
Since our attempt at a coup didn't work last time.
Worked with some Venezuelan immigrants on a 3 week labor contract due to having a 300% turnover. Asked a couple guys who were learning English why they fled. They said "Maduro no good." Told me he planned to go back when things got better.
What do you expect them to say? The bigger picture only the informed people would know.
Well shit ain't gunna get any better anytime soon while we continue to elect presidents that get in their knees for their Corporate Owner's
The moment Sanctions are lifted Venezuela will slowly start to recover
I am a first generation Venezuelan American. Oliver Stone is totally ignorant for supporting Maduro. He should live there as an average Joe for six months then come back and talk to me.
He' a focking eccentric director of films. Who gies a crap what he has to say about things outside of his job description. Why continue asking actors about government?
Exactly Hollyweird lives in a bubble we common folk live in a whole other reality.
Oliver stone was a soldier in Vietnam. Not everyone who works for Hollywood operates under the same ideology. You have to look at individuals and critically think about your assessments of people.
@TorontoHighGuy Dude that was over 40 years ago. Stone has spent the last 40 years as a Hollywood Director or writer what have you.
A lot can change for a person in 40 Effing years.
I used to run the streets as a teen running with a gang. I was shot and almost died. That was 30 years ago. Today I don't run with a gang and I am a proud Conservative. A lot changes.
I guarantee you if I all of sudden was offered millions to direct Movies my life would change and I would change.
People who live in a bubble like the Hollywood bubble live in a different reality.
If Maduro is so unique and Venezuela is so great, why don’t they go live there? It’s very easy to talk about revolution from the comfort of the United States and with all their millions.
If everything is so perfect, why am I here in the U.S. and not in my country? Don’t be fooled by empty and soulless words.
Because you followed the money stolen from your country. Very simple
Your knowledge on MY COUNTRY IS SO FCKN NAIVE.
You have alot to learn I would happily go to Venezuela as soon as MY COUNTRY removes the sanctions that are causing mass poverty & economic disaster.
You seriously think the Venezuelan economy crumbled because of Maduro?
Lol
Usually when the BIGGEST ECONOMY IN THE WORLD Sanctions A country
And also does not allow other countries to trade with them the result is inflation, shortages & economic pain.
That's literally the intention of those Sanctions.
🙄🤣🤣
If you wanna blame anyone Blame Trump for pushing the sanctions & Biden got continuing them.
Lol Your gonna learn fairly quick that the U.S doesn't have corruption because it's not illegal.
Lol
You'll also realize soon that no one actually owns anything rather everything people have is debt.
When are you actually going to fight to take your country back?
@ricomajestic I did, in 2014, and let me tell you, you can not win throwing stones. Meanwhile, they are firing gas and bullets, that's why you need to defend the 2nd amendment!
Society is sick when it looks to entertainers for wisdom.
WHO CARES WHAT OLIVER STONE THINKS ABOUT TRUMP AND VENEZUELA?
Well clearly you listened to it, if he agreed with you, you'd be happier than a pig eating shit to hear him bounce your opinions right back at you.
Agreeed why do we care about Patrick’s opinion, it’s all entertainment. They are both biased
@mindful-accountability PBD is an entrepreneur and self-help author who interviews guests on political topics. Oliver Stone is a film director.
The us government does
Just because someone is an entertainer or famous doesn't mean that they have no clue, experience, research & caring about a subject can make one more knowledgeable then most politicians. Why should anyone listen to you when you try making a point ?
Also majority of politicians are not very bright & have done a terrible job
I like Stones films but A Fan boy of Maduro that’s wild 🤣
Not a fanboy he explained how the United States is fawking Venezuela RAW no Vaseline, and the most politically correct thing to do is blame the “socialist”.
Oliver Stone loved Fidel Castro. That should tell you everything. Even Fidel Castro looked at him funny when he shot a documentary in Cuba. He should stick to movies.
They still have free Healthcare, though, unlike medical racket in US. US should just stick to its business, and stop destroying and looting other countries with wars and economic blockades
He’s a hypocrite
Oliver is a guy who thinks he is smarter than he is because of proximity
This guy doesn’t know what he’s talking about. The regime in Venezuela has caused significant harm to Venezuelans. Just because people can leave the country doesn’t mean it’s a democratic and fair government.
How do you explain that a country with one of the largest oil reserves in the world has the majority of its population living below the poverty line?
I'm a cuban-american and this guy was pals and admirer of Fidel Castro and his revolution that destroyed Cuba.
If you say Venezuela is not a dictatorship and everything is fine there, you are either bought by the government or you are utterly ignorant. In this case I think he’s enjoying many privileges from the Venezuelan government.
@PBD Podcast I hope you get to read the comments on this clip. Please, invite someone who really knows the reality of Venezuela.
Patrick handled that interview like a g. That thing could have went South so many times. But he kept it on course to be on Good terms with everyone but yet have a difference of opinion 👍👍👍👍
You should not be in good terms with evil. The guy is wrong. People not just leave. There is pain, death, and suffering behind the biggest migration, percentage wise, in modern recorded history. You stop and stand in front of someone saying stuff like that
Venezuela is not socialist, its kleptocratic.
“How many people did they make” Sir, Venezuela’s education system wasn’t the best of course but gave us millions of high professionals, tell us how much of that has done the “revolution for us destroying our society morals and values. I can’t take that guy serious after hearing this.
So Trump the basically anti-war President is going to start a war with Venezuela? When in his first four years did the Abraham Peace Accords, did a peace deal with North Korea and walked across the DMZ, is it going to start a war with a second world (at best) South American country? And for Oil? America has energy and energy to sell!😂
Don't even need a war to get rid of the Maduro regime. His own people are aching to get rid of this "great guy", and at this point the situation in Venezuela is so untenable it'll only be a matter of time before the military turns on him. Very unlikely Maduro will still be around as president of Venezuela by the end of Trump's second term. Pretty unlikely he'll even be alive anymore.
And good riddance.
There is no murika, it's a conglomerate of corporations pretending to be a country. 😂
He almost start a war with Iran. he tried to invade Venezuela
No he repealed the deal the Democraps did with them.
He needs to live in Venezuela without access to his passport for at least two years!! DELULU
Ummm.
I have friends who live there yeah shit isn't the best right now but they know it's not not because Maduro
Has he made mistakes sure but all the cuts to lights & water aren't because of him.
There's a little thing called sanctions whose goal is to cause extreme suffering amongst the population.
This guy talking about my country is literally propaganda. I am embarrassed by just listening this. Is sick and you should have call him out for real, being this respectful to those people is just disgusting.
I hope you guys could also have on air the point of view of one of the 8M+ venezuelans that had to flee the country thanks to socialism, not only condescendent politicians and show business people used to praise anti american dictators as "intelectual" sport.
We need to pray for spiritual discernment to know good and bad. I don’t trust this guy.
Lol 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
He’s lying about people just being able to leave Venezuela. We have friends that live in Venezuela and they’re in their 90’s, Venezuela makes it extremely difficult to visit us.
Venezuela makes it difficult or the sanctions placed on them make it difficult??😒😒😒🙄🙄🙄
Venezuela makes it difficult?
Lol
Sure that's why millions of Venezuelans have moved to Chile, Argentina & the U S?
Any 90 yr old would find it extremely difficult to travel to a foreign nation.
Also it's the U S that makes it difficult we are the ones who impose visa requirements
Which includes the need to get a American Visa which can only be obtained at a U.S Consulate or Embassy after submitting documentation of assets, income etc.
And after a cost of about $275.
Then they still would need to get a permission for their visit which would allow them to stay up to 3 months
Why don't you just go to Venezuela.?
Their visa requirements are far less restrictive as we can use our U S Passports & requests permission upon arrival .
This is the Problem with so many people.
Instead of actually trying to get to the truth we as humans take the lazy approach & blame the country we are told is "Bad"
True that...😅
In 2017 , Trump imposed Oil sanction and prohibited Venezuela's access to U.S. financial markets...
I remember being a child going hungry in Cuba and without freedom and watching this character Oliver Stone on television traveling throughout Cuba with Fidel Castro and admiring the revolution, what else could I ask of this shameless man?🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬
Exactly
Oliver Stone is out of his mind
I have lost ALL respect for Stone. That Venezuela is not a tyranny??? This guy is absolutely biased.
Oliver Stoned
Heart of Stone.
Stone has to educate himself a bit more about Venezuela, Maduro and Chavez. More than 20 years without hope! I am indignant.
Loved this podcast Pat!
When your ideology can justify the unjustifiable….
Didn't even know who this guy was, now I'm glad I didn't!!!
So if you “can” leave a place, there is no tyranny there? In that case, Cuba must be a democracy.
Sorry Patrick, this Oliver guy is clueless about Venezuela. Maduro is a tyrant dictator and nothing more. And yes I have personally been to Venezuela and seen the hardships those people live under.
AMERICA MUST PROTECT ISRAEL AT ALL COSTS.
Oliver Stone is a person that I listen to a lot. Besides being one of the greatest filmmakers alive, he has great ideas. Unfortunately, he has gotten it monumentally wrong about Venezuela. My family has suffered a lot. He says he’s not a tyranny because “people can leave”. Is he aware of how people are leaving? Also that’s a ridiculous argument. The prisons, the stealing of elections, police brutality, are you kidding me? How can someone so talented be so clueless? Unless, because it fits his ideology, he can give Maduro and Chavez a pass. Then, that doesn’t make him clueless. That then makes them an accomplice.
PBD this guy has not idea what's happening in Venezuela!!!
Would you imagine Trump going to Venezuela with Edmundo??????
I'm an American and have been living in Brasil for almost 8 years.
I agree on the Venezuela issue.
This has been brewing since 2014. This has taken a major back burner and almost non-existant on the media outlets here.
That itself speaks 100 words!
Great conversation!!
Brasil is nothing like Venezuela or Cuba or Nicaragua. Living in Brasil give you any references.
I agree with Oliver Stone
WOW another bolchevik with iPhone 😂
@@guilleport Any system can function without corruption. Calling someone Bolshevik or communist as if it were an insult demonstrates stubborn ignorance. Attacking freedom of expression does not seem democratic to me. In your case, it seems that you are one of those who agree with exploiting people and winning at any cost. Nice values and principles you represent.
America would be much better off if entertainers from Hollywood would keep their opinions to themselves. Turns out, people who make a living playing dress-up and pretend don't offer the most grounded perspectives.
There were no wars when Trump was in office Roger.
God will bless those who bless Israel and curse those who curse Israel. Get this guy out of here

@@iamjuancedielWe still pray for their blindness. May God remove the scales from their eyes just like Paul’s scales were removed! That they believe in the JEWISH MESSIAH !
It is amazing how Patrick Bet-D has no idea what he is talking about on Venezuela but then project his thoughts on Venezeula ( not his thought , just tired US propaganda) . He is an empty superficial shill
On so many topics . Yet, wow can he speak with such conviction as if he is the authority on the subject. Dude is just a great salesman and his skill transcends into what we he talks about but when you actually know the subject he speaks about you realize the guy is just treading water in the surface and has no depths in the ability to have a real conversation devoid of his sophistry
My God 82% of Venezuela are living in poverty.
50% of the people live below poverty.
Yes, America contribute to their suffering but they need to overthrow the government
Venezuela is not a threat to the United States.
The prisoners they're dumping here are.
Oliver definitely does not know what he's talking about on Venezuela. My wife is from Venezuela her family still there. It sucks and Maduro has ruined that country. This is coming from Venezuela not rich Americans.
Free Venezuela from U.S. sanctions.
The level of ignorance 🫠 Oliver Stone enjoyed the corruption of the rich Venezuela with Chavez. Now he can’t recognize Maduro and the country in ruins. Pat, congratulations on keeping your cool, in still trying to come down my nerves since I heard Oliver’s idiotic and simplistic comments
The suffering in Venezuela, Cuba, and other Latin American countries is always bc they resist being under the control of the C1A and US corporate oligarchs. Most countries can prosper when they are not sanctioned and politically destabilised by C1A regime changes and drug trafficking.
No it is communisms dummy
You are so wrong.
Bizarre how Americans will blame their own country for literally everything wrong in the world today. Never seen so many traitors in my life. About time we started painting the border wall with you guys.
People in Venezuela can leave whenever they want (if they have a house or apartment to sell), but they don’t leave because they want to-that would be tourism. Do you really think a woman takes her 2-year-old child and starts walking to the U.S., risking being bitten by a tiger or a snake, being assaulted, or even worse, becoming a sexual slave to some mafia, without knowing where her child will end up, just because she doesn’t like Maduro?
It's sad to know that the only things Hollywood seems to excel at are making fictional movies and scandals involving sexual abuse of minors.
I'm Cuban in Miami and I know that's true.
Trump showing his true colors. Let the Venezuelan people decide their own fate.
Enough of America's hegemonic wars and proxy wars.
My question for you is.. How ? How we (venezuelan people) do something against Maduro regime if we are not any arms or weapon?? Just tell me how... they stole us elections, they take our freedom to decide... Maduro is a narco-dictatorship.
Why cant you blame Venezuela and US government at the same time for what’s going on in that country
That would require nuance and critical thinking, eww icky
He has no clue what he’s talking about. My whole family has been in the US since I was 4 to not suffer from the life that he has given the citizens of my country. I am now 20 years old and a huge fan of PBD. Go capitalism and go freedom baby.
Indeed
Another excellent show. Thanks to all.
Ignorant, uninformed, talking about Venezuela without knowing what he says. As a Venezuelan I’m telling you. He is wrong wrong wrong
Hello Venezuelan here. We where better off in 98 than later. BS from a woke artist
Does anyone understand the biblical prophecy & covenant surrounding Israel & USA connection.
As a Venezuelan, Oliver Stone doesn’t know shit
This guy is talking out of is ass. The fact that they sat there and let him say ANYTHING good about Maduro same on you Pat.
he said 98 he don't know what he is talking about Venezuela was the richer country in the region
stone is stoned... when did this guy spend a day in Venezuela? he's totally out of line and disconnected with reality
Most of Oliver Stone’s movies haven’t aged well.
This guy is so stupid. Saying that Venezuela is not living under a tyranny
Please don’t ask Oliver stone about politics
I admire oliver stone's pictures very much
Oliver Stone is so smart he’s dumb. Bruh past point of diminishing returns on intelligence
Trump dosen't like wars agsinst nations. Trump is a peacemaker amongst nations.
Remember, that the speaker of the House need not be drawn from the members of the House. We could choose wisely instead of politically!
Stone is CLULESS about Latin America.
Come to live for 4$ a month, i live in Venezuela
The Stones should go and live in Venezuela for one year. Guaranteed, they'd change their minds about it's leadership.
4:59 as Venezuelan I knew that I shouldn’t watch this episode, and I took a deep breath to watch this clip.
Oliver Stone is factually disqualified to speak anything about Venezuela since he got just one side of history and not casually in the context of an invitation from Hugo Chavez.
Not to mention that if He’s in fact leftist, He won’t criticize nothing. There are way more than 8millions of Venezuelans abroad. Important to mention that there isn’t a declared w4r, which could be a reason to leave.
It’s simply outrageous that we still need to contradict clowns like this.
Stone is giving off Steve Seagal vibes.
I deeply respect Oliver Stone. He is one of my favorite Americans. Patriots like him have no place in today’s America and if he didn’t have the fame he had, I’m sure they’d teach him a lesson.
Patrick you repeat the party lines so much, I sometimes doubt you are genuinely after the truth.
PBD has very shallow takes on Trump. Trump is clearly under the thumb of Israel and under the watchful eye of Kushner and the like.
Mr. Oliver you do not know anything about Venezuela or Economic. Go and live in Venezuela, so you can really know why Venezuelan people are leaving there country, but I know you will not do it. You’re so comfortable living the American dream in the US and talking none sense. Cannot get easier right…
It's incredible how stupid people in Hollywood can be
I normally relate to Oliver Stone But having lived in Latin America for decades I gotta say He's got it all wrong on Maduro in Venezuela.. But hey, nobodies right all the time.
Please stop war
