put everything online, proving that the opposition candidate, Edmundo Gonzalez, beat Maduro and beat him decisively.

Their numbers showed a two-to-one victory.

People hated Maduro that much.

He stayed in power.

People protested.

Maduro cracked down with mass detentions.

Over 1,500 people

The United Nations looked into it and found that many of those detainees were tortured.

The world knew who won.

Countries around the world, including the United States, went through the opposition's numbers, looked at the receipts, concluded they were solid, and officially recognized Gonzalez, the opposition candidate, as the winner and rightful president of Venezuela.

But this past week, as you probably saw, when the United States captured President Maduro...

President Trump did not say, OK, here's the guy who actually won the election.

Here's the woman who leads the opposition that he's part of, Nobel Peace Prize winner Maria Karina Machado.

Let's finally put them in power.

Which made me wonder, what do all those Venezuelans who were part of this big organized movement to vote Maduro out of power and prove that they won, who did all that so, so well, what do they think of the events of the last week?

Do they see any hope that they might get a shot?
