and yes, there's going to be a little certificate at the end. So if you want to start the year

Today's podcast all about Latin America, all about Venezuela, all about Cuba. We're going directly

to Argentina to one of Latin America's foremost commentators, Juan Gabriel Tocallion,

and he's going to explain to us what exactly is going on.

In America's backyard, will they attack if they attack, what is that going to do, not just for Venezuela,

but for the region in general.
