B: No, who's that?
A: She’s a Venezuelan politician. She just won the Nobel Peace Prize!
B: Wow, really? That’s amazing! What’s she been up to?

B: Seriously? What did she do?
A: She’s been talking to Fox News, saying some strong things about Venezuela’s new interim president, Delcy Rodriguez.

B: Incredible! Does she want to be in charge then?
