00:00Like TikTok has done, Instagram and WhatsApp, what happened if they broadcast thousands

00:13of messages calling to assassinate President Maduro, calling to kill Chavistas, calling

00:19to kill the people, what would the United States do against these people?

00:26So with Atel, Atel has already taken his charge in this issue and has opened an investigation

00:33to all of them and they proposed to me as first measure that could be done.

00:40I was not in agreement because I prefer to touch the button, press the button that we

00:46have and they don't come inside Venezuela anymore.

00:50So I said, okay, I just trust the majority of the Venezuelans and each one of them has

00:55to decide for by themselves what they do.

00:57So you delete them based on what you think.

01:02Not like I did yesterday because I did it all of a sudden and I just slept as a baby

01:06for seven hours.

01:08Now WhatsApp is not existing in my life, WhatsApp is not spying on me.

01:13I was a silly person letting myself being spied on by WhatsApp.

01:20So we have to take measures.

01:22Each one of you have to take measures in your home and each one is free to write whatever

01:28you want to write, but let not WhatsApp threaten you because some people were telling me, people

01:37are threatening me.

01:38So okay, eliminate WhatsApp, give me the phone numbers because the majority of the telephones

01:46that were threatened were by Colombian mobiles, Chileans, United States mobile.

01:53They are in hiding.

01:54The cowards are in hiding now.

01:56The ones who use Venezuelan phones, all of them, we have them here and we're going to

02:01reach one by one with the law, law and justice, justice and order, order and peace.
