But that is something that most of my Venezuelan friends, like they completely agree because it's similar to me, but my non-Venezuelan friends or ex-friends, as I should say, they just don't understand that at all.

So it's always interesting.

Like, you know, I spent a good deal of time with Venezuelan people coming to the United States or who have recently arrived in the United States and, uh,

It's funny to see how people represent their operation to Maduro.

Because at first they'll be like, oh, this guy's an American.

So they're like, oh, it'd be great if the Americans came to liberate us and what a wonderful country.

And then once people begin to feel comfortable and safe with you and you talk more, everybody knows we don't have it all figured out either.

Everybody knows the history, right?

And then people, yes, of course, have a wide and varied...

range of things that they would love to see in Venezuela, but they are united behind seeing an end to dictatorship and state violence.

Yeah, no, and I think that's honestly kind of like a beautiful thing where, you know, in spite of our differences, because I may have differences with other people who may be moderates or right wing or whatever, but we've all united against this like bigger evil.

And I think that's something that I wish actually the U.S.

could learn about, right?

Putting their differences aside to actually like,

tackle that bigger evil.

I think that's something the U.S.

should learn about us, how we've been able to do that, how, you know, we can all say, you know, we may not agree on how certain things are done, but we all agree on what needs to be done, which is, you know, like getting rid of this regime, right?

So, yeah, I mean, it's it's actually pretty, pretty cool.

And although it's not always easy, because, again, like you have like in any country, we have all sorts of different opinions going on.

It is really nice to see everyone united for one thing and one reason.
