Regime Change in Venezuela Would Be a Huge Mistake | Guest: Brandan Buck | Ep 358

After calling out the neocons like Jeb Bush and John McCain and building his campaign on promises of peace and putting America first, President Trump is now flirting with the idea of intervening in Venezuela to take out Nicolás Maduro, using the specter of drug cartels as a pretense. Matt Kibbe is joined by Cato Institute fellow Brandan Buck to explain why this would be a really bad idea. In the first place, U.S. intervention is what led to the rise of Chavez and Maduro in the first place. Combine that with our nation’s history of catastrophic nation-building experiments and the fundamental impossibility of central planning, and it’s clear that America’s power would be far better used in trying to improve the lives of our own citizens.
