but
joining
me
here
now
on
set
michelle
caruso
cabrera
she
is
CEO
of
MCC
global
enterprises
and
a
CNBC
contributor
and
so
good
to
have
you
Michelle Caruso-Cabrera (CEO)
00:08.670
here
well
pleasure
to
be
here
thanks
so
? (?)
00:10.110
so
let's
talk
venezuela
and
what
we're
seeing
with
these
dark
fleet
tankers
and
the
and
the
and
the
message
it's
sending
Michelle Caruso-Cabrera (CEO)
00:17.350
the
administration
is
trying
to
curtail
all
possible
revenue
to
the
maduro
government
of
venezuela
they
started
with
the
drug
interdiction
by
bombing
although
those
cigarette
boats
in
the
submarines
and
secretary
rubio
secretary
state
on
friday
said
that
they
hadn't
done
anymore
Michelle Caruso-Cabrera (CEO)
00:32.510
lately
because
they
believed
that
they
have
set
a
high
level
of
deterrence
and
that
that
has
stopped
they're
now
going
after
the
oil
tankers
which
venezuela
a
lot
of
these
tankers
all
of
them
either
sanctioned
not
allowed
to
be
on
the
seas
and
yet
they've
been
operating
for
Michelle Caruso-Cabrera (CEO)
00:44.990
several
years
and
the
united
states
has
decided
that
they
are
going
to
do
everything
they
can
to
prevent
oil
revenue
from
going
to
this
regime
as
well
they
want
stability
in
the
western
hemisphere
and
and
they
think
it's
very
hard
to
have
stability
when
you
have
hezbollah
china
Michelle Caruso-Cabrera (CEO)
00:59.590
russia
in
venezuela
participating
in
narco
trafficking
participating
in
illegal
oil
sales
and
also
in
in
human
trafficking
as
well
yeah
? (?)
01:08.070
and
not
to
mention
to
your
point
the
the
impact
it
has
the
ripple
effects
it
has
on
immigration
dynamics
throughout
the
hemisphere
national
security
strategy
actually
basically
prioritized
not
only
the
homeland
but
the
hemisphere
we
haven't
seen
that
in
national
security
? (?)
01:21.390
strategy
in
quite
a
while
so
significant
to
see
that
this
is
all
playing
out
now
what
kind
of
what
kind
of
message
does
it
send
to
china
to
russia
as
we
see
ukraine
peace
talks
underway
Michelle Caruso-Cabrera (CEO)
01:31.790
so
china
and
russia
have
actually
been
pretty
quiet
on
the
venezuela
situation
that's
been
very
very
interesting
to
see
and
and
there
were
reports
within
the
oil
industry
that
perhaps
when
trump
met
with
putin
in
alaska
this
was
before
he
started
these
big
moves
in
the
caribbean
Michelle Caruso-Cabrera (CEO)
01:48.070
that
he
hinted
to
putin
or
told
him
that
that
was
going
to
happen
let's
see
but
i
think
your
point
is
extremely
important
when
it
comes
to
migration
venezuela
twenty
five
percent
of
the
population
has
left
that
country
since
twenty
fourteen
eight
million
people
they
are
the
Michelle Caruso-Cabrera (CEO)
02:07.030
syria
of
the
western
hemisphere
they've
gone
into
all
these
venezuelans
have
gone
to
many
different
countries
in
latin
america
destabilize
them
and
the
the
leadership
of
the
country
has
allowed
has
used
those
those
people
leaving
as
a
way
to
send
out
gang
members
render
aragua
Michelle Caruso-Cabrera (CEO)
02:23.750
is
is
the
big
gang
and
that
may
have
spread
throughout
the
western
hemisphere
undercover
of
these
people
who
have
been
trying
to
escape
the
very
dire
situation
that's
happening
in
venezuela
because
of
their
mismanagement
of
the
oil
industry
? (?)
02:34.870
and
speaking
of
the
oil
industry
the
fact
they
have
oil
up
almost
two
percent
today
Michelle Caruso-Cabrera (CEO)
02:39.070
it
could
it
could
be
because
of
venezuela
they
don't
contribute
a
lot
they
produce
eight
hundred
thousand
to
one
point
two
million
barrels
per
day
they
they
haven't
been
able
to
export
that
much
lately
because
of
the
trump
administration
going
after
these
tankers
so
that
might
Michelle Caruso-Cabrera (CEO)
02:52.950
be
what's
driving
the
prices
higher
but
it's
a
very
small
amount
relative
to
what
they
could
be
producing
and
the
total
percentage
of
oil
in
the
world
i
think
the
other
reason
why
the
trump
administration
is
so
interested
in
this
situation
when
they
want
stability
in
the
western
Michelle Caruso-Cabrera (CEO)
03:09.670
hemisphere
venezuela
could
get
its
act
together
and
produce
more
oil
all
those
migrants
that
we
talked
about
would
likely
be
far
more
willing
to
go
home
because
that
economy
would
be
in
far
better
shape
if
they
could
go
back
to
the
three
and
a
half
million
barrels
of
oil
that
Michelle Caruso-Cabrera (CEO)
03:21.670
used
to
produce
on
daily
basis
and
could
with
a
more
orthodox
investment
regime
and
regulatory
structure
and
foreign
investment
that
could
be
done
