For 11 years, the Con El Mazo Dando television program has become the visitor that revolutionaries expect every Wednesday with good coffee and cookies.

A communication trench that not only dismantles the lies of the media scoundrel orchestrated by the Venezuelan extreme right, supported by the Yankee empire, but also keeps the discourse, ideas, guidelines and legacy of the Leader of the Bolivarian Revolution, Hugo Chávez, in force.

This was stated by Urbano González, who also said that he lost count for how many years he watched the program, “one day I put it on and I never committed myself to a Wednesday night again”, adding that for him that day is sacred.

“ I started watching the show because I am a Chavista and Captain Diosdado Cabello is the closest thing we have to Chávez, he is a warrior faithful to his ideas as is President Nicolás Maduro,” said González.

He also commented that his favorite part of the program, after the Chávez videos, are the Cooperating Patriots: “I don't know how they find out everything so quickly, it's impressive.”

González, who has always been on the left and since Commander Chávez founded him, of the Fifth Republic Movement (MVR), said that he always expects Con El Mazo Dando to start and the one he enjoyed the most was the one with “the little blue wallet”.

“That day, as always, I started watching the program and laughed a lot at Diosdado's ideas of showing the supposed wallet that La Sayona lost during the march. Nobody believed that story about her being kidnapped, ” she said.

For his part, Lolimar Valero, who also dedicates Wednesday nights to watching Con El Mazo Dando, said he watches the program hosted by Diosdado Cabello because it offers a fairly comprehensive political-social analysis of various issues of the country's events.

“Diosdado uses social networks and various media to generate debate and better understanding of these issues,” he added.

Like Urbano, Lolimar's favorite part of the program is the letters from the Cooperating Patriots. “The use of humor through letters from co-workers is fascinating, to address serious situations, they criticize political figures on the Venezuelan right, which is what allows the audience that follows the program to understand the reality of the country more lightly,” he explained.

Apparently the “Little Blue Card” program became one of the audience's favorites. “The humorous way in which Diosdado addressed the alleged loss of María Corina Machado's wallet managed to capture the attention of viewers in a joking way,” Valero added.

Meanwhile, José Tomás said that he started watching the Con El Mazo Dando program from broadcast number 1. “I've always been a Chavista and I enjoy watching the show, it's had a lot of changes and it's getting better every day,” he confessed.

“My favorite part as a good revolutionary are the videos of Commander Chávez. Every message he gives is a teaching, he was an extraordinary man, and even after his physical departure his speech is still more relevant than ever. He never gave up, never bowed or took a step back in the face of pressure from the American empire,” Tomás said.

The program that I remember the most, and it is because of the concern that revolutionaries had, was the return of Captain Diosdado Cabello after COVID. “Although we already knew that he was doing well and that his recovery had been satisfactory, we wanted to be sure and seeing him doing his program again was very exciting,” he recalled.

“As its motto says, Without tricks or tricks, El Mazo does not deceive, even the opponents themselves watch the program, they say no, but to find out a lot of things they sit down to see it and send each other messages about what Diosdado says, I have acquaintances like that,” he said.
