Anchor Andrea Mitchell introduced Sanders for his report by commenting on the surprising ability of Venezuelan dictator Nicol\u00e1s Maduro to stay in power, despite the pressure on him to step down. "Not only hanging on but he appears to still control the military," Sanders said. "You have to understand, in Venezuela gun ownership is not something that's open to everybody. So if the military have the guns, they have the power and as long as Nicol\u00e1s Maduro controls the military, he controls the country."

Mass protests and riots are now breaking out across the country, as dictator Nicolas Maduro attempts to discard the Venezuelan constitution to tighten his grip on power. However, Venezuela\u2019s problems date back to 1999, with the election of socialist president Hugo Ch\u00e1vez, whose mass redistribution of wealth and financial mismanagement laid the groundwork for the country\u2019s economic collapse.
