00:00On November 30th, Honduras will not just pick a new president, it will choose its political

00:06destiny for the next century.

00:09It is the responsibility of the United States government and this committee, the Foreign

00:13Affairs Committee of the United States Congress, to ensure that in Honduras, freedom and democracy

00:19will prevail.

00:21Four years ago, the people of Honduras elected a socialist president called Xiomara Castro.

00:28Madame Castro has been a loyal follower, in her own words, of Fidel Castro in Cuba and

00:33Hugo Chavez in Venezuela.

00:35Do I have to explain to this audience what those two murderers did to their countries?

00:40Maybe not, because everybody knows.

00:43Unfortunately and because of that poisonous ideology that the current president has embraced,

00:49Madame Castro has pushed her country into an economic abyss.

00:53And why do I say that?

00:55You can keep the door closed please.

01:12And why do I say that?

01:14First, President Castro welcomed Communist China and even suggested that she may give Palmerola

01:21air base to the Chinese.

01:23The Palmerola base is the key United States military installation in Latin America.

01:29Second, she broke relations with Democratic Taiwan just to please China.

01:33Third, she gave another thug called Nicodás Maduro in Venezuela the highest medal of honor

01:40that the country can give to a civilian, the order of Francisco Morazán.

01:44I am sure that Morazán has to be rolling in his grave.

01:48And fourth, flooded the country with Cuban spies dressed as doctors, teachers, and psychologists.

01:55Ten days from today, ten days from today, the fate of Honduras is in the hands of three candidates.

02:01Papito Alaorden, whose real name is Nasri Asfura, Salvador Nasralla, and Rixi Moncara.

02:10Mrs. Moncara is the heir to the communist throne picked by the current president.

02:15Mrs. Moncara says that Cuba is a democracy and that she wants Honduras to look just like Cuba.

02:21Well, this is the way Cuba looks today.

02:28I'm sure that Hondurans would not want that in their streets.

02:33At this hour, the voters of Honduras are at a crossroads and they should think long and

02:38hard who are they going to vote for.

02:41As the chairwoman of the Western Hemisphere subcommittee within the House Foreign Affairs

02:45Committee of the United States Congress, I am not telling you who to vote for.

02:50All I am saying is do not elect a communist.

02:55Communism is beautiful in theory and miserable in practice.

02:59Look at Venezuela.

03:01After 25 years or 25 years ago, the Venezuelans were oblivious to the same warning I am saying

03:09today and not even having the largest reserves of oil in the world save them from the economic

03:16catastrophe they are living today.

03:20íanetudiomís number one goal is to corrode the democratic institutions especially the

03:26armed forces.

03:29The Honduran armed forces, the most powerful institutions in the country, are demanding direct

03:34access to private voter information.

03:37The armed forces are demanding who voted for who.

03:43This is not the military, which has made Hondurans proud for over 100 years.

03:50At the same time, or the same military, I should say, that pulled Mel Salaya, the husband

03:56of the current president, out of his bed in his PJs, sent him to Costa Rica in the middle

04:01of the night for wanting to do the same thing that his wife is trying to do right now in

04:07post-communism in Honduras.

04:1115 years ago, the military saved their country from communism, and today, they need to do

04:17the same thing.

04:19So this committee is sending a very clear message, supported by the State Department and the Trump

04:24Administration, that Honduras must hold a free, fair, and transparent elections.

04:30No intimidation, no stolen ballots, no foreign interference.

04:36The eye of the United States is upon Honduras this November 30th.

04:41In the United States, there are more than one million Hondurans, hundreds of thousands

04:45of them in my own district, Florida District No. 27, at the heart of the city of Miami.

04:51Oh, I know Hondurans very well.

04:54They are good people, hardworking, God-fearing, law-abiding, who have been beaten by a political

05:00class that has not treated them well for decades.

05:04They deserve someone who is not a communist, who will put the future of Honduras first,

05:09and that includes the two right candidates as well.

05:13Whomever wins these elections needs to put the fatherland above their own personal interests.

05:19Honduras' political class admires the American political and economic system.

05:24Now it's time for them to start copying it.

05:28The nation's treasury is not their own personal checking account.

05:32The well-being of the average Honduran should be their only interest.

05:38Honduras deserves better.

05:39May the Lord guide them this November 30th.
