Venezuela is a hot topic in the world today and one of our Pundettes, Pilar Marrero, hails from that country. She sits down for a mini-episode "in between" regular Pundette shows, with guest and Venezuelan observer Blas Kisic to chat about the myths and the realities of their birth country. This is the first in an occasional series.

American politics is now propelled by “true believers”, not moderates, and divisions in values are now more important than divisions of “interests”, making the United States a step closer to being “ungovernable”, a society where a common set of ideas -and shared ideals- seems to be farther and farther away. Bill Schneider, expert in American politics and former senior political analyst for CNN -1990 to 2009- sat down with Sherry and Pilar (The Pundettes), to explains how those realities brought the United States to its political situation today, with Donald Trump as President and toxic polarization without the chance of “negotiation”.

The Pundettes discuss the aftermath of Trump´s border emergency declaration and how Americans are taking it, the new dynamics of the Democratic race for President and the anticipated use of the "socialism" scare by the President. Plus, a rise in hateful incidents in Europe and the US

Sherry and Pilar dissect the State of the Union and the threats by the President against Congress and introduce the 2020 Democratic lineup and what they need to do to compete. Then, Sherry explains the implosion of Democrats in Virginia and Pilar analyzes the crisis in Venezuela, her birth country.
