The Daily Signal - Native Venezuelan, Now Proud American, Warns of ‘Fruits of Socialism’

In the 1980s, Patricia Rucker’s family left Venezuela, planning that her father would work for a time in the U.S. “Venezuela to me was the most perfect country you could have on this earth,” Rucker recalls. “Not only beautiful weather--beautiful people, very moral, very safe, very free, never had an income tax. The Constitution of Venezuela was modeled after the U.S. Constitution.”


But the family’s plans changed, even as Venezuela fundamentally changed. ”Hugo Chavez was able to win an election by making promises and sowing envy, telling folks you should have what others have, you should have whatever, the nice houses,” Rucker warns. “You should get this, you should get that.” Now a U.S. citizen and a West Virginia state senator, Rucker is speaking out about the dangers of socialism.


We also cover the following stories:

  • The House Democrats announce the next impeachment step.
  • President Trump criticizes FBI Director Christopher Wray.
  • Most Americans didn't talk politics at Thanksgiving.

Pod Save America - Iowa Episode 4: The final sprint

In episode four of this five-part series on the Iowa caucuses, we take you behind the scenes as the campaigns prepare for one of the biggest nights of the primary season, the Liberty and Justice Dinner. Obama’s speech at the event back in 2007 gave his candidacy an enormous boost, but we’ll explain why the evening is as much about what you say as how well you’ve organized. Then we’ll consider proposals to change the primary process that would reduce Iowa’s influence as we continue to wrestle with the question: is this really the best way to pick a president? This series is hosted by Tommy Vietor and produced by Pineapple Street Studios.
