i think it s much needed food, supplements and oppositions say it s a political weapon, venezuela, the maduro government controls distribution of food, you basically get a big box once a month if you re a venezuelan family, macaroni, lentels and powdered milk. so if the government is give you a back of lentels and macaroni it has sway over whether you re going to march or not, neil. neil: all right, thank you very much, steve harrigon in caracas. we are watching. we are watching cpac where the president of the united states is about to address a packed audience wait to go hear from him. a little more after this bu m bum bum bum. pass the ball. pass the rock..
