The print version of the speech from NewsMax makes some clever deletions and changes to the speech. Here’s a few phrases that were changed.
(I’m not an expert in Spanish, so I include the Spanish text.)
NM: It [Chomsky’s book] appears in English, in Russian, in Arabic, in German.
[Est publicado en ingls, en alemn, en ruso, en rabe (aplausos) seguramente.]
[It is published in English, German, Russian—
AND ARABIC (APPLAUSE) FOR SURE.]
[NewsMax rearranges the languages to avoid reporting the actual emphasis. The applause, often massive, is completely ignored by the NM editors throughout.]
NM: As the spokesman of imperialism, he came to share his nostrums, to try to preserve the current pattern of domination, exploitation and pillage of the peoples of the world.
[Como vocero del Imperialismo vino a dar sus recetas para tratar de mantener el actual esquema de dominacin, de explotacin y de saqueo a los pueblos del mundo.]
[Like the spokesman of imperialism he came to give his prescriptions for treatment, to maintain the current plan of domination, of exploitation, and of sacking the cities of the world.]
[NewsMax generalizes to ‘people’ the clear statement: the sacking of cities.]
As Chomsky says here, clearly and in depth, the American empire is doing all it can to consolidate its system of domination.
[Es decir, el Imperialismo norteamericano, y aqu lo dice Chomsky con una claridad meridiana y profunda, est siendo desesperados esfuerzos por consolidar su sistema hegemnico de dominacin.]
[That is to say, the northamerican imperialism — and here Chomsky says it with a dazzling (noon-like) clarity and profundity — is involved in desperate efforts to consolidate its hegemonic system of domination.]
[The word ‘desperate’ is left off.]
NM: What a strange democracy.
[¡Vaya qu democracia!]
[Fancy that democracy!]
[Chavez does not use the word ‘strange.’]
NM: Aristotle might not recognize it or others who are at the root of democracy. What type of democracy do you impose with marines and bombs?
[Habra que revisar las tesis de Aristteles y de los primeros que hablaron por all en Grecia de la democracia a ver qu modelo de democracia es ese, el que se impone a punta de marines, de invasiones, de agresiones, y de bombas.]
NM: We have to revise the thesis of Aristotle and the ancients who spoke over there in Greece about democracy when we see which model of democracy this is — that which is imposed with Marines, invasions, aggressions, and with bombs.]
[NewsMax’s leaves out “invasion and aggression.”]

Sorry, that’s me above.

I messed up the final bracket. It should have been like this:
