So I want to give you this opportunity. I think it's my duty to offer this opportunity, and to give the other side of the story that the US media refuses to give including much of our progressive and alternative media.

Which is for you to tell Americans who Nicolas Maduro is, how does he see himself, and what would he tell a future leader of the United States you've called Donald Trump a klansman but a future leader who is willing to sit down and have a dialogue with you.

NICOLAS MADURO: Let's talk. I have said it to President Donald Trump in every way and in every language. If some day, in the present or the future, there were a possibility of dialogue, of respectful understanding between equals, I would be willing to shake his hand, make progress and overcome this phase. I hope so.

We believers call upon God. I hope there will be light, a halo of light, of hope for dialogue, for a new kind of relationship between the United States and the Bolivarian Revolution and Venezuela. I hope so.

Who am I? I can tell you, I believe in truth. Truth can break down any wall, any lie, any manipulation. Only the truth shall set you free, said our Lord Jesus Christ. I believe in the truth.

I am a humble, working-class man, a bus driver. A Bolivarian activist, a revolutionary, Chavista, educated by Commander Hugo Chavez.

Everything we have, we have achieved through work, through effort, through the popular vote, through the popular vote. We have never gotten anything by force. It has always been through the people's vote, through the people's legitimacy. That's how we will continue.

They can say what they want. The Bolivarian Revolution will continue on its path and the truth will pave the way.

Thank you very much. Thank you.
