Till the next time we meet, it's goodbye from me, Anita Arnon.
In January 2026, President Trump ordered a military operation to capture Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro.
He was seized from his compound in Caracas.
He was transported to New York and now faces narco-terrorism charges.
And while oil profits at the beginning were used to reduce poverty under Chavez and then his successor Maduro, Venezuela became increasingly corrupt and more and more unstable by the day.
Since 2014, economic collapse, political repression, these things have driven nearly an eye-watering 8 million people to flee the country.
That is the largest refugee crisis in the history of the Americas.
Simon Bolivar, who freed not just one country, six countries from Spanish colonial rule.
And then looking at his subsequent fall, maybe that might tell us a bit about this present predicament that Venezuela finds itself in.
So let's get started.
straight into it, the story of Simon Bolivar.
It's one of the most extraordinary, I think, that we've covered here on Empire and a story that Empire Club members can have in one go without waiting.
