RIGHT NOW.
PRESSURE ON VENEZUELA'S
SOCIALIST DICTATOR INTENSIFYING
TONIGHT.
THOUSANDS OF VENEZUELANS TAKE TO
THE STREETS.
YOU ARE LOOKING AT EXCLUSIVE
VIDEO OBTAINED BY "TRISH REGAN
PRIMETIME."
THE PEOPLE IN VENEZUELA
DEMANDING HE STEP DOWN ONE WEEK
AFTER JUAN GUAIDO PROCLAIMED
HIMSELF THE COUNTRY'S RIGHTFUL
PRESIDENT.
MR. GUAIDO SPOKE BY PHONE WITH
PRESIDENT TRUMP.
PRESIDENT TRUMP REINFORCED HIS
SUPPORT FOR THE SELF-DECLARED
PRESIDENT.
AS NICOLAS MADURO CLINGS TO
POWER, FIVE AMERICANS FROM
TEXAS, LOUISIANA ARE BEING HELD
HOSTAGE IN A VENEZUELAN PRISON.
THESE MEN ALL CITGO EXECUTIVES
WERE AMBUSHED DURING A DISTRIP
TO CARACAS AND HAVE BEEN HELD
CAPTIVE SINCE 2017.
JOINING ME, THE DAUGHTERS OF
TOMEU VIDALL.
I KNOW HOW DIFFICULT THIS IS AND
HOW SCARY IT IS.
WE TALKED A LITTLE BIT ON
BACKGROUND.
IT'S NOT EASY COMING OUT AND
TALKING TO THE COUNTRY LIKE THIS
WHEN YOU ARE WORRIED THAT THERE
COULD BE REPERCUSSIONS FOR YOUR
DAD IN VENEZUELA BUT YOU ARE
DOING IT ANYWAY.
I COMMEND YOU FOR THAT.
TELL ME ABOUT YOUR FATHER AND
WHAT THIS LAST YEAR HAS BEEN
LIKE.
>> HI, TRISH.
WE FIRST WANT TO THANK YOU SO
MUCH FOR GIVING US THIS
OPPORTUNITY TO SHARE OUR STORY
ABOUT OUR FATHER AND THE
CONCERNS WE HAVE FOR HIM AND THE
OTHER MEN THAT FIND THEMSELVES
IN THIS SITUATION.
THEIR HEALTH AND SAFETY.
THIS IS A HUMANITARIAN ISSUE.
THE FAMILIES ARE DEVASTATED.
THEY HAVE BEEN THERE FOR THE
PAST 14 MONTHS.
AND IT'S TIME FOR THEM TO COME
HOME.
WE NEED SUPPORT OF EVERYONE TO
BRING THEM HOME.
TRISH: VERONICA YOUR DAD WORKS
FOR CITGO WHICH IS OWNED BY
PDVSA WHICH IS RUN BY THE
GOVERNMENT THERE IN VENEZUELA.
SO HE GOES TO CARACAS FOR A
BUSINESS MEETING AND HE NEVER
COMES BACK?
>> YES.
THAT'S PRETTY MUCH WHAT
HAPPENED.
JUST A REGULAR WORK MEETING.
WIN THE DOWN WITH MISS
CO-WORKERS AND HE NEVER CAME
BACK HOME.
TODAY MARKS DAY 435 OF US NOT
HAVING OUR FATHERS BACK HOME
WITH US.
IT'S BEEN ENOUGH.
WE NEED TO BRING HIM HOME.
TRISH: THERE IS YOUR DAD THERE.
HOW DID YOU FIND OUT THAT HE WAS
IN PRISON?
>> I WAS ACTUALLY AT WORK.
MY PHONE STARTED GOING OFF LIKE
CRAZY.
RANDOM FAMILY MEMBERS AND
FRIENDS CALLING ME AND SENDING
ME RANDOM ARTICLES FROM THE
WORLD.
I SEE MY MOM'S TEXT THAT SAYS
CALL ME.
SECEDE WE GOT A CALL FROM FAMILY
AND FRIENDS IN THE OIL INDUSTRY
AND THEY TOLD US YOUR DAD HAS
BEEN DETAINED IN VENEZUELA.
I WAS SHOCKED.
I DIDN'T BELIEVE IT.
AND I ASKED MY BOSS, I HAVE TO
GO HOME.
I IMMEDIATELY DROVE FROM NEW
ORLEANS TO CHARLESTON TO BE WITH
MY FAMILY.
TRISH: HAVE YOU HAD ANY CONTACT
WITH THE GOVERNMENT AT ALL?
HAS ANYBODY SAID OKAY, HE'S
DOING ALL RIGHT?
WHAT IS THE CONTACT PROCESS BEEN
LIKE?
>> WE ACTUALLY JUST GOT TO TALK
WITH OUR FATHER NOT LONG AGO.
THE CALLS ARE SPORADIC, THEY ARE
QUICK.
WE WERE WITH OUR MOM AND WE GOT
TO HEAR HIS VOICE.
HE'S STAYING STRONG FOR US.
THE LEAST WE CAN DO IS COME AND
TALK ABOUT WHAT'S HAPPENING AND
HOW UNJUST IT IS.
HE NEEDS TO COME HOME.
TRISH: JUAN GUAIDO TOLD ME LAST
NIGHT ON THIS PROGRAM THAT IT IS
A PRIORITY.
DO YOU FEEL LIKE THE U.S. IS
DOING ENOUGH?
WHAT MORE DO YOU NEED?
WHAT HELP CAN YOU GET THAT YOU
DON'T HAVE THAT YOU REALLY NEED?
>> ANY HELP AT ALL.
ANY ENTITY, ANY HUMAN
ORGANIZATION, HUMANITARIAN
ORGANIZATIONS WILLING TO HELP US
BRING OUR FATHER HOME WILL BE
APPRECIATED.
WE HAVE A TWITTER HANDLE @FREE
CITGO 6.
CONGRESSMEN, INCLUDING
MR. GUAIDO, MADURO, IF THEY CAN
OPEN THEIR HEARTS AND LET THE
MEN GO IT'S BEEN 14 MONTHS
WITHOUT OUR FATHER.
