In this episode, I walk through the rise and collapse of Venezuela—from one of the richest countries in the Western Hemisphere to economic ruin, political repression, and one of the largest refugee crises in modern history. I covered much of this firsthand, and I believe the lessons are bigger than Venezuela itself. The question isn't just how Venezuela lost its freedom—it's whether other nations are willing to learn from what happened before it's too late.
