BREAKING RIGHT NOW.
THE MAN THE U.S. RECOGNIZES AS
THE PRESIDENT OF VENEZUELA, JUAN
GUAIDO, SAYS HE AND HIS FAMILY
REFUSE TO BE INTIMIDATED BY THE
THUGGISH TACTICS OF SOCIALIST
DICTATOR NICOLAS MADURO.
HOURS AGO GUAIDO REVEALING ONE
OF THE UNITS OF MADURO'S SPECIAL
POLICE SHOWED UP AT HIS FAMILY'S
APARTMENT ASKING FOR HIS WIFE
WHO WAS AT HOME WITH THEIR
INFANT DAUGHTER.
YOU ARE LOOKING AT VIDEO OF JUAN
GUAIDO WITH HIS WIFE AND
DAUGHTER.
THEY HAVE BEEN REUNITED.
IT'S BEEN AN INCREDIBLY FEW DAYS
AND YEARS GIVE WHAT HE'S LIVING
UNDER.
GUAIDO WAS AT A POLITICAL RALLY
AT THE TIME.
BUT HE TWEETED OUT, AT THIS
MOMENT THE SPECIAL POLICE ARE IN
MY FAMILY HOME.
I WILL HOLD NICOLAS MADURO
RESPONSIBLE FOR MY DAUGHTER'S
SAFETY, AS HE SHOULD.
TWO DAYS AGO IN HIS FIRST
AMERICAN TELEVISION INTERVIEW, I
ASKED JUAN GUAIDO IF HE WAS
WORRIED THAT NICOLAS MADURO WAS
COMING FOR HIM.
YOU DON'T HAVE ANY FEAR FOR YOUR
OWN LIFE?
[SPEAKING SPANISH]
>> [THROUGH THE INTERPRETER]
YES, THEY HAVE THREATENED MY
FAMILY AND UNFORTUNATELY I'M NOT
THE ONLY ONE.
THERE ARE OVER 200 POLITICAL
PRISONERS.
TRISH: ARE THESE INTIMIDATION
TACTICS ROUTINE FOR THE MADURO
REGIME.
LET'S' ASK MY NEXT -- LET'S ASK
MY NEXT GUEST, A FREEDOM FIGHTER
FOR DEMOCRACY.
GOOD TO HAVE YOU HERE.
>> THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
I THANK YOU FOR THE OPPORTUNITY
YOU ARE GIVING ME TO CONVEY TO
THE AMERICAN PEOPLE WHAT IS
GOING NONE OUR COUNTRY.
WE WANT FREEDOM FOR VENEZUELA
THAT WE ARE BUILDING AND GROWING
STRONG.
TRISH: IT'S AN IMPORTANT STORY.
AS AMERICANS, WE STAND ON THE
SIDE OF WHAT'S RIGHT.
AND WE STAND FOR FREEDOM.
AND WE WANT YOU AND ALL OF YOUR
PEOPLE TO HAVE THAT.
BUT NICOLAS MADURO RIGHT NOW IS
UNDER THREAT.
HE'S INCREASINGLY ISOLATED.
HIS ONLY FRIEND ARE THE RUSSIANS
AND IRANIANS.
THE CHINESE A LITTLE BIT.
THE CUBANS, HEZBOLLAH.
WHO ARE THESE SPECIAL POLICE?
IS JUAN GUAIDO IN DANGER RIGHT
NOW?
>> CERTAINLY.
ANYTHING LEFT IS VIOLENCE,
OPPRESSION AND FEAR.
BUT WE ARE FAR BEYOND THE POINT
OF NO RETURN.
MADURO SHOULD WATCH OUT BEFORE
DOING ANYTHING TO JUAN GUAIDO.
NOT ONLY BECAUSE OF THE WARNINGS
HE RECEIVED FROM THE
INTERNATIONAL COMMUNITY.
BUT BECAUSE OF THE SUPPORT HE
HAS GOT FROM THE CITIZENS.
THIS COULD TRIGGER THE ARMY AND
THE ARMED FORCES AND HE DOESN'T
WANT THAT TO HAPPEN.
HE SHOULD BE AWARE BEFORE
TOUCHING JUAN GUAIDO.
TRISH: JOHN BOLTON HERE IN THE
U.S. MADE THAT MESSAGE VERY
CLEAR.
IF YOU MESS WITH JUAN GUAIDO,
YOU ARE MESSING WITH THE UNITED
STATES.
YOU HAVE BEEN AN AGITATOR THERE,
YOU HAVE BEEN AN ACTIVIST.
YOU HAVE BEEN IN POLITICS.
YOU ARE NO FAN OF MADURO AND YOU
WERE NO FAN OF CHAVEZ.
DO YOU FEAR YOU WILL BE THROWN
IN JAIL?
>> THAT'S THE THREAT WE HAVE
RECEIVED EVERY DAY.
THEY THREATENED OUR KIDS.
THEY HURT US.
AND THEY FOLLOW US EVERY SINGLE
DAY AND THEY COME TO OUR HOME.
TRISH: THEY FOLLOW YOU?
WE SAW SOME VIDEO, YOU ARE ONE
TOUGH LADY.
YOU GOT OUT OF THE CAR YOU SAID
WAIT A SECOND, WHAT ARE YOU
DOING FOLLOWING ME?
THEY SAID WE ARE MAKING SURE YOU
ARE SAFE.
YOU SAID I DON'T NEED ANY
SECURITY.
THEY WEREN'T THERE TO MAKE YOU
SAFE, WERE THEY?
>> THEY FOLLOW ME EVERY SINGLE
TIME I PUT A FOOT OUT OF
CARACAS.
I CAN'T FLY COMMERCIAL AIRPLANES
BECAUSE THEY WERE INSTRUCTED
THAT THEY WILL LOSE THEIR
LICENSE.
SO I HAVE TO TRAVEL BY CAR ALL
OVER VENEZUELA.
EVERYWHERE I GO THEY FOLLOW US.
THE INTENTION TO GET US
THREATENED OR FEAR.
I FEEL THE SUPPORT FROM OUR
PEOPLE HAS INCREASED SO MUCH,
AND EVERY TIME I HAVE A CHANCE
TO SPEAK TO THOSE OFFICIALS, FOR
THE FAMILIES AND THEIR KIDS.
THINGS HAVE CHANGED IN RECENT
TIMES.
TRISH: WHAT'S THE MORALE LIKE?
I SAW ALL THE PEOPLE ON THE
STREETS IT WAS INCREDIBLE.
MY SOURCES IN VENEZUELA ARE
SAYING SATURDAY WILL BE EVEN
BIGGER.
WHAT ARE YOU HEARING FROM ALL
THE PEOPLE YOU TALK TO?
>> ABSOLUTELY.
IT'S DIFFERENT THIS TIME.
WE KNOW WE HAVE THE SUPPORT OF
THE INTERNATIONAL COMMUNITY
THAT'S WELCOMING VENEZUELA BACK.
WE KNOW THAT MADURO HAS RUN OUT
OF RESOURCES OF MONEY, AND WE
KNOW THAT ONE THING, I CAN TELL
YOU, FOR SURE THAT.
THE SOLDIERS CERTAINLY DO NOT
SUPPORT OR RECOGNIZE MADURO AS
THE LEADER.
WE ARE IN A DIFFERENT MOMENT.
WE NEED TO MOVE AHEAD.
WE BELIEVE IT'S IMPORTANT THAT
EVERYBODY UNDERSTAND THIS IS A
GROUP THAT WILL DO ANYTHING TO
STAY IN POWER.
THEY NEED TO BE FORCED OUT.
THAT'S EXACTLY WHAT WE ARE
DOING.
TRISH: THERE IS A LOT OF
PRESSURE THE INTERNATIONAL
COMMUNITY.
LET ME ASK YOU THIS.
IF YOU ARE SUCCESSFUL AND JUAN
GUAIDO IS ABLE TO CALL FOR
