Here's a condensed transcript from the video (based on subtitles):
"As a Venezuelan-American, my family lost everything to the narco dictatorship gripping Venezuela for 25+ years. Millions suffered the same—exodus second only to Syria. It's an occupied nation by Iran, China, Russia.
Maria Corina Machado led a peaceful win in 2024, smuggled proof, dedicated her Nobel to Trump strategically to focus his power on liberation, not invasion. It's life or death for freedom.
Que viva Venezuela! Que viva Maria Corina Machado!"
For all the folks wringing their hands in fake moral outrage over Pres. Trump’s action on Maduro, you have ZERO understanding of the geopolitical significance this action for not just Venezuela but for Western Civilization. Let this Venezuelan educate u 👇🏾pic.twitter.com/DtpslCOG87— Melissa Tate (@TheRightMelissa) January 3, 2026
I got the transcript in full for the X vidya I posted at https://freerepublic.com/focus/chat/4359839/posts?page=541#541.
As a Venezuelan-American, I got some sh*t to say. My family—my parents… my sister…. …My extended family all lost everything. Their work their savings their investments gone. Wiped out by the narco dictatorship that has held Venezuela in death grip for over 25 years. And what happened to my family has happened to millions and yes Millions.
The Venezuelan exodus is the second-largest displacement crisis on earth after Syria. This isn’t just a tragedy. It’s one of the great humanitarian disasters of our time. But this suffering doesn’t end there. This regime has jailed hundreds of political prisoners. Thousands have been murdered simply for speaking out.
More than 1 third of its population fled. One 3rd. And. Not for better opportunities or the American dream. But to survive. To live. Because staying often means death. And while the world may see Venezuela as a collapsed state. What it is, in reality is an occupied one. Our territory. Our natural resources and our institutions have been overrun by hostile foreign powers. Iranian militias, Chinese corporations, Russian intelligence all exploiting our country with impunity.
Venezuela is no longer just a local crisis it now a geopolitical threat that endangers the entire Western Hemisphere. It has become a launchpad for an authoritarian expansion in the Americas and, in midst of all this one woman has dared to leap to the charge for freedom. Maria Corina Machado. In 2024 against every odd she led peaceful democratic uprising that won. The election her team smuggled physical voting receipts out of country, hard proof. A victory that The Regime tried to bury. Her courage has lit a fire in the hearts of millions of Venezuelans desperate to believe that change is still possible. But now some have questioned her decision to dedicate Her noble prize to Donald Trump. Okay, I get that but here’s the truth.
It was a brilliant strategic move in global chessboard of politics. Maria Corina is no fool. She knows exactly the kind of man Trump is. She knows how much he campaigned for it loudly and relentlessly to win that very same prize. She Knows how symbolic and personal that recognition is to him. And precisely because of that she understood this gesture might be the thing that keeps his attention focused on Venezuela at a time when U.S presence and pressure in Caribbean is rising. She didn’t dedicate that award to flatter him, but she did it to protect and preserve the one kind of power that could help shift the course of history. Because for her this isn’t about pride. It’s not about optics. Its about freedom.
Let me be very clear. Maria Corina isn’t asking for U.S to invade Venezuela. She is not campaigning for war. Venezuela is already invaded. It is held hostage by a narco-state overrun by foreign agents and enemies of democracy. Russians, Iranians, Chinese all operating freely, weaponizing our land and resources to expand their influence across Latin America. What Maria Corina is calling for, what millions of Venezuelans are praying for, is the support of the only military on earth capable of countering that threat and helping to free our people. This is not imperialism. This is liberation. She’s not playing partisan games. She’s playing for Venezuela’s life. Because this isn’t theoretical. This isn’t academic. This is life or death. So yes, it is time to honor her bravery. But more importantly it is time for the world, especially the free world, to recognize what’s at stake. The fight for Venezuela is a fight for freedom, for democracy, and for the stability of an entire continent. If we truly care about liberty, human dignity, and peace in the Americas, then Venezuela’s fight must matter to all of us. Que viva Venezuela. Que viva Maria Corina Machado.
