00:00I mean, during your time in Caracas, I mean, did you ever see the day or imagine the day that Nicolas Maduro was removed from power and sort of physically extracted, as you've just described there, from Venezuela?
00:14Well, there's no way for me to predict the events as they unfolded.
00:19But yeah, I mean, certainly for sure.
00:21I mean, for years, I think we've been leading up to this event in one way or another.
00:27I'm kind of disappointed it really took this long.
00:31It took the will of this administration to actually carry out on the prosecution of this case and to honor what our court systems here had already determined that he needed to come before a judge and stand trial for leading a narco-terrorist organization.
00:50Make no doubt about it.
00:52He was never a legitimate leader of Venezuela.
00:54He just had this thin veneer of, you know, of a state that allowed him to basically run a narco-criminal enterprise where he and those within his immediate inner circle became billionaires.
01:10I mean, multi-multi-millionaires, billionaires in a way on the backs of starving Venezuelans.
