He was on TV reading some crazy rumors concerning him that were being diffused through twitter. One of those rumors claimed that he was being held by the military in Fuerte Tiuna (biggest military command in the country), because he tried to impose to them Cuban high officials and they refused. What he said is that this campaign of rumors was terrorism and, speaking as he's used to speak, he said that people spreading them were "twitter-terrorists". That's it.
"1,2,3 Chavez 'tas ponchao"
Concerning the opposition trying to bring violence to the baseball parks, he's referring to the slogan "1,2,3, Chavez you struck out" that started being sang two weeks ago during the Venezuelan league finals. All this came from some people who brought to the park a banner saying "1 for the lack of water, 2 for the electricity blackouts and 3 for the insecurity: 1,2,3, Chavez 'tas ponchao (you're struck out)". It was the first of seven games in the finals and the National Guard intervened against the banner people, who got hit. The guards took the banner away (00:24).
