10-28: What Are The Odds We Take Over Cuba? · Wicked Radio with Bill Adams

• 0:04
  Speaker 1: Finally, something exciting, maybe even productive, happened on the floor
• 0:08
  Speaker 1: of the United Nations yesterday. A fight between our U.N.
• 0:12
  Speaker 1: ambassador and the Cuban delegates. Delegation, really. Okay, not a
• 0:17
  Speaker 1: fight in terms of how the politicians look at a fight.
• 0:19
  Speaker 1: They would call it a fight. More like a shouting match, really.
• 0:22
  Speaker 1: But it was interesting. Between, and this guy was all
• 0:25
  Speaker 1: over the media yesterday, obviously, being a politician. That's really
• 0:29
  Speaker 1: what a U.N. ambassador is. Mike Walz. yelling at the
• 0:32
  Speaker 1: Cubans to back off. I'm sure you saw the clip
• 0:35
  Speaker 1: on that and what it all means and all this
• 0:36
  Speaker 1: other stuff. But there are some other developments in this,
• 0:39
  Speaker 1: and this leads all the way through what happened yesterday
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: during the turn of events, wrapping up with the president's
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: speech in Lubbock, Texas. That's what it was, where he
• 0:48
  Speaker 1: brought up on stage the very same Marco Rubio, who
• 0:53
  Speaker 1: has been talking tough against these very same Cubans. All
• 0:56
  Speaker 1: of this is related to what's going on these days.
• 0:58
  Speaker 1: And I know it's politics. I get that, the whole thing.
• 1:01
  Speaker 1: But it leads us to one thing. After yesterday's events,
• 1:04
  Speaker 1: what are the chances now that we actually take over Cuba?
• 1:09
  Speaker 1: It sounds ridiculous even to say it out loud. I
• 1:11
  Speaker 1: get it. But you know what else sounded ridiculous just
• 1:13
  Speaker 1: a few months ago? Are we going to take over Greenland?
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: We did. It actually happened. Not to own it, but strategically, militarily,
• 1:23
  Speaker 1: I think even culturally. That's pretty much ours now. And
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: when the president started saying it, everybody laughed at him.
• 1:29
  Speaker 1: They start talking about Cuba now. And the famous line
• 1:32
  Speaker 1: from last night we'll get into here in a second is,
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: we're going to drop off Marco in Cuba. He'll fix
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: that mess. It starts off always with some sort of
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: a ridiculous, overreaching statement. And then you look back on
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: it a few months, maybe even a couple of years later,
• 1:46
  Speaker 1: and you say, wow, that was the start of something
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: really kind of groundbreaking. And it may be starting now.
• 1:53
  Speaker 1: So what are the odds? What are the odds about
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: this entire thing? I don't know. Let's get into it.
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: But it was finally something to talk about, but the UN,
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: because usually it's incredibly boring and useless. Anyway, thanks for
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: finding me. Appreciate your Wicked Radio livestream, Monday through Friday,
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: 8 a.m.-ish Eastern Time on X and YouTube and Facebook.
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: When you join in late, you can catch the replay
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: on those same channels. Audio podcast uploaded right after. You
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: have to check the audio podcast or somebody else does.
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: You can find that in your favorite podcast platforms. Let's
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: get into it. This is UN Ambassador Mike Walls. Before
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: I play this for you, this clip of what happened yesterday,
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: and there are all kinds of camera angles, there are
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: all kinds of cell phones there, which played a part
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: in the whole argument, actually, where he's ripping into the
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: Cuban communist regime and how they treat their people, but
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: apparently the background of the story is they've discovered, and
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: he credits the Miami Herald for this, of all outlets,
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: for uncovering sounds like a James Bond movie, a private
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: luxurious island that the communist officials live in at the
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: that the Castro family, they're still around, while their people
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: live in squalor, as we all know. That's what he
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: brought up to the UN floor. That's what started the fight.
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: So then the Cubans, the delegation, have to stand up
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: and pretend like they're all upset, and they get in
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: his face, and there's a shouting match that they're calling
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: a quote-unquote fight. And the Cubans have to get up
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: there and pretend that they're all upset, otherwise they'll go
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: home and they'll probably get killed by the communists. But anyway,
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: this is how it all broke down. I will tell you,
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: in my own personal opinion, for a UN ambassador sticking
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: up for the U.S. and telling them to back off personally,
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: I like this. Good for him.
• 3:27
  Speaker 2: I like it. Back up!
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: You know what I like about what Mike Wall said there?
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: This always happens. We have, and we agreed in the
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: late 50s, 60s to put the UN in the United States.
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: It represents nothing for the United States. We never get
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: anything out of this. We finally have a UN rep
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: there that says, you're in U.S.
• 4:12
  Speaker 2: Soil. Back up.
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: You know, as the Cuban tries to run up to
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: the front of the thing, as you saw or heard there,
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: and he tries to intimidate him. Personally, I like that.
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: And again, what were they all upset about? He's talking
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: about this Cuban this James Bond-like island that the communistas
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: have to live in luxury while their people live in squalor.
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: Big shocker. Wow. A tale as old as time. The
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: communists live at the top, and their poor people live
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: in squalor. That's what he's pointing out. That's what they
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: were all upset about. It wasn't just the, quote, I'm
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: using finger quotes, fight on the UN floor, really the
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: shouting match here, but this was going on too. So
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: there's a big contingent of people. There's assistants and pages
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: and interns, I'm sure. and publicists that work with the
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: UN ambassador, Mike Wall. So they were getting closer to
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: this thing with a cell phone, you know, walking up
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: to it as it's going on for their own documentation. Well,
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: the other counterparts, the Cubans, weren't having that. He kind
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: of smacked the phone away from one of the Americans.
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: This actually happened too.
• 5:13
  Speaker 3: Not good.
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: I don't know who they think they are with that,
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: but that happened too. The update on the story is
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: the Cuban delegation, the guy that stormed the floor, and
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: I think the guy that smacked the phone away from
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: the assistant, whatever, they got kicked out of the country
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: last night. Marco Rubio, who's a big player in this
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: entire story, he actually signed the papers to get them
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: on a plane by 7 p.m. last night and send
• 5:45
  Speaker 1: them back to Cuba. So that was all good. That
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: was good stuff. So background on the information. Now, it
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: stands to reason that Mike Walz was all over the
• 5:54
  Speaker 1: media after this event yesterday, right? Because his job as
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: UN representative, he's got to explain himself, give the background,
• 6:01
  Speaker 1: take advantage, being a smart politician, of him being the
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: focus of the story these days. So he does a
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: little interview afterwards. I think he was on every single
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: news network. This morning he was on Fox News, I think,
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: and then he was doing all kinds of social media posts, whatever.
• 6:16
  Speaker 1: But right after it happened, I guess this is the
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: hallway of the U.N. He explained exactly what led to
• 6:23
  Speaker 1: the Cubans being so upset that led to the fight.
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: Here he was.
• 6:26
  Speaker 2: What we did today was we showed the world some
• 6:31
  Speaker 2: of the Cuban regime's corruption. As the people sit in
• 6:34
  Speaker 2: the dark, as hospitals are empty, as people don't have
• 6:36
  Speaker 2: enough gas or even power for their refrigerator, you have here,
• 6:42
  Speaker 2: and it's right here south of Cuba, you can look
• 6:44
  Speaker 2: this up, the Castro family private island. with a marina,
• 6:49
  Speaker 2: with a dolphin lagoon, right? Multiple homes, large bedrooms, swimming pools.
• 6:58
  Speaker 2: Caio Pedro, please, I'd love for you to show the
• 7:03
  Speaker 2: world what is happening with Castro family corruption. This is
• 7:08
  Speaker 2: their private compound, just renovated.
• 7:10
  Speaker 1: He's got multiple visuals there. He's got all the graphics.
• 7:13
  Speaker 1: I guess that's what he brought up to him during
• 7:14
  Speaker 1: his speech at the UN. That's what got the Cubans
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: all upset, blah, blah, blah, whatever. Okay, so he's using
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: the cameras, using the opportunity to show that before the
• 7:22
  Speaker 1: cameras that were all there, and then he did all
• 7:24
  Speaker 1: the social media stuff, and then he did all of
• 7:25
  Speaker 1: his interviews, and that's all. All right, that's all good.
• 7:29
  Speaker 1: Here's the big takeaway. This is what we're getting to here.
• 7:32
  Speaker 1: If we've learned anything, now all politicians are like this,
• 7:34
  Speaker 1: but if we learned anything about particularly the people that
• 7:38
  Speaker 1: work in this particular administration... We saw this with Trump 1.0
• 7:42
  Speaker 1: from 2016 on, and now the second administration. They make
• 7:47
  Speaker 1: moves like this, and they are kind of emboldened when
• 7:49
  Speaker 1: they have the backing of the big guy, right? And
• 7:52
  Speaker 1: I guess you could say this about all administrations and
• 7:55
  Speaker 1: all politicians or, you know, surrogates for any administration. I
• 7:59
  Speaker 1: guess that's the way it goes, but especially this one,
• 8:01
  Speaker 1: if you've noticed a pattern. If we've learned anything, it's
• 8:04
  Speaker 1: that the Trump administration folks are emboldened when they know
• 8:08
  Speaker 1: they have the backing. In other words, they don't make
• 8:10
  Speaker 1: a move like Mike Walz did to pick a fight
• 8:12
  Speaker 1: with the Cubans and stand up there and stand up
• 8:15
  Speaker 1: for it. He doesn't do that unless he knows he
• 8:18
  Speaker 1: has the backing of Trump himself and the Secretary of State.
• 8:22
  Speaker 1: So we get to this. Where's that backing coming from?
• 8:26
  Speaker 1: Marco Rubio posted this on his ex-account. Instead of me
• 8:29
  Speaker 1: reading it, let's just go to the Fox News reporter
• 8:31
  Speaker 1: reading exactly what Marco Rubio said. about this very same
• 8:34
  Speaker 1: thing with the Cubans. This is on Marcos, our Secretary
• 8:37
  Speaker 1: of State, his own ex-account.
• 8:39
  Speaker 3: This handle posted this, quote, private island of corrupt regime
• 8:45
  Speaker 3: in Cuba. It is labeled, as you can see there
• 8:48
  Speaker 3: on screen, Castro's K. Now, John, there is a very
• 8:52
  Speaker 3: long backstory here of Cuban officials trading.
• 8:56
  Speaker 1: Castro's K. I'm telling you, just what they described. And
• 9:03
  Speaker 1: when Mike Walsh was on the floor with his visuals,
• 9:06
  Speaker 1: with his four or five pictures of Castro's K, I'm
• 9:09
  Speaker 1: telling you, it sounds like a James Bond compound. And again,
• 9:12
  Speaker 1: they point out the hideousness of it. This is why
• 9:14
  Speaker 1: his message was effective. He points out the private dolphin lagoon,
• 9:19
  Speaker 1: the renovated marina, the private yachts, all this stuff, these
• 9:22
  Speaker 1: mansions that they live in, while a perfect example of communism.
• 9:25
  Speaker 1: At this time, during the midterms, when we were trying
• 9:28
  Speaker 1: to vote out communism, make sure it doesn't take root here, right?
• 9:31
  Speaker 1: You've got, you've got, the very few at the top,
• 9:34
  Speaker 1: and the Castros are still around, living in luxury at
• 9:38
  Speaker 1: a private island off Cuba, which must be very nice,
• 9:40
  Speaker 1: the entire island living in squalor. They don't have power.
• 9:44
  Speaker 1: They're running cars on vacuum parts, you know? It's like
• 9:47
  Speaker 1: you or I can't go there because we're American citizens,
• 9:50
  Speaker 1: but still, you've seen plenty of documented evidence to know
• 9:53
  Speaker 1: exactly what's happening there. All right, now, we talked about,
• 9:57
  Speaker 1: that's Marco Rubio's post, as So that's the proof that
• 10:01
  Speaker 1: he has the absolute complete support of Mike Walz doing
• 10:04
  Speaker 1: something like that. Mike Walz has his support to go
• 10:06
  Speaker 1: after the Cubans like this and to tell them literally
• 10:09
  Speaker 1: on the floor to the UN, back off, you're in
• 10:11
  Speaker 1: the US, I represent the US. The tough talk, right?
• 10:13
  Speaker 1: That's good. You've got the backing of the Secretary of State.
• 10:18
  Speaker 1: But does the Secretary of State Marco Rubio, who is
• 10:22
  Speaker 1: a Cuban-American, who has Cuban background, does he have the
• 10:26
  Speaker 1: backing of his boss, the president of the U.S.? Well,
• 10:30
  Speaker 1: I'll say this. This is what we learned last night
• 10:32
  Speaker 1: after the rally, you know, getting ready for the midterms,
• 10:35
  Speaker 1: the rally in Lubbock, Texas last night. Not only does
• 10:39
  Speaker 1: he have the backing, I think after all of this
• 10:43
  Speaker 1: and what we saw last night, I think Trump is
• 10:46
  Speaker 1: pushing forward to have Rubio and not Vance as the
• 10:51
  Speaker 1: next nominee from the GOP to carry on that Trump agenda.
• 10:57
  Speaker 1: Trump loves Marco Rubio. I mean, it's clear as day.
• 11:02
  Speaker 1: If that's one of the biggest benefits of having a
• 11:03
  Speaker 1: president like Trump, he doesn't hide anything. He can tell
• 11:06
  Speaker 1: exactly who he loves and who he doesn't. Now, this
• 11:08
  Speaker 1: is different. You might remember back in the day, remember
• 11:10
  Speaker 1: when Trump was running the first time, and it was
• 11:12
  Speaker 1: him and like 17 other guys, and it was all
• 11:14
  Speaker 1: the Republican kid. So he had to stand out. He
• 11:17
  Speaker 1: was really throwing out all the insults. That was late 2015.
• 11:21
  Speaker 1: During the debate stage when he was calling him Little Marco.
• 11:24
  Speaker 1: Remember he would call him Little Marco. He's got little hands.
• 11:28
  Speaker 1: Now he's gone from that to a few years later
• 11:30
  Speaker 1: as I love him. He's great. He's the best Secretary
• 11:34
  Speaker 1: of State we've ever had. Like he literally says these
• 11:36
  Speaker 1: kinds of things. And last night, here you go, on stage.
• 11:40
  Speaker 1: We'll jump around a little bit, but he happened to
• 11:42
  Speaker 1: bring up Marco Rubio, the very same, onto the stage
• 11:46
  Speaker 1: at the rally in Lubbock, Texas. Now, first of all,
• 11:48
  Speaker 1: leading up to this, the part you don't hear is
• 11:49
  Speaker 1: this crowd. for about a full 30, 45 seconds chanting Marco.
• 11:57
  Speaker 1: He's got the Trump supporters' support as well. And then
• 12:01
  Speaker 1: Trump brings him up on stage. Marco did a good job,
• 12:03
  Speaker 1: just said a couple of words. And then listen to
• 12:05
  Speaker 1: what Trump says at the end of this. And see
• 12:08
  Speaker 1: if this changes your mind at all, if the odds
• 12:09
  Speaker 1: have changed on whether or not at some point we
• 12:12
  Speaker 1: take over Cuba. Last night, Lubbock, Texas. It's an honor
• 12:16
  Speaker 1: to work.
• 12:16
  Speaker 2: For the greatest country in the world, for the greatest
• 12:18
  Speaker 2: president in the history of.
• 12:19
  Speaker 1: The United States of America. We love you, Texas.
• 12:22
  Speaker 2: Thank you.
• 12:24
  Speaker 1: And then the big hug. Here comes Trump. Oh, he's
• 12:29
  Speaker 1: doing a good job. He's doing a great job.
• 12:36
  Speaker 2: I said the other day, on the way back from Iran,
• 12:39
  Speaker 2: we're going to drop him off in Cuba.
• 12:40
  Speaker 1: He'll settle that one in about 15 minutes. We're going
• 12:43
  Speaker 1: to parachute him in, just drop him, and he'll figure
• 12:45
  Speaker 1: it out. We're going to drop him in. We're going
• 12:49
  Speaker 1: to parachute in Marco, and he'll figure out that mess.
• 12:52
  Speaker 1: This is not, by the way, the first time he's
• 12:55
  Speaker 1: said it. Now, again, what have we learned about Trump?
• 12:57
  Speaker 1: He'll say something overreaching and huge and then doesn't back
• 13:01
  Speaker 1: off of it, but he gets everybody laughing, gets everybody
• 13:04
  Speaker 1: talking about it, just like with the Greenland example. This
• 13:07
  Speaker 1: is a little bit more intense, but with the Greenland example.
• 13:09
  Speaker 1: We're going to take over Greenland. It's going to be beautiful.
• 13:12
  Speaker 1: And then he reposted things on Truth Social of a big,
• 13:14
  Speaker 1: beautiful Trump Tower in Greenland, all gold and shimmery. And
• 13:19
  Speaker 1: it got everybody laughing at it. How ridiculous is this?
• 13:22
  Speaker 1: And then the CNN talking heads got on there and
• 13:24
  Speaker 1: they all said, this is an unserious president. And how
• 13:28
  Speaker 1: could he possibly talk about this? Because he knows how
• 13:32
  Speaker 1: to run you idiots. He knows how to run the
• 13:34
  Speaker 1: media and take hold of the media narrative. That got
• 13:37
  Speaker 1: everybody talking about it. Then all of a sudden you
• 13:39
  Speaker 1: had smarter people in the room thinking about it. Oh,
• 13:42
  Speaker 1: the strategic advantage of Greenland. And then, lo and behold,
• 13:45
  Speaker 1: about a year, year and a half later, for all intents,
• 13:49
  Speaker 1: it's ours. Okay? It actually happened. And how did that start?
• 13:54
  Speaker 1: It started with Trump saying something just like he did
• 13:56
  Speaker 1: last night, saying, we're going to take it over. Well,
• 13:58
  Speaker 1: now he's saying it with Cuba. We're going to drop Marco.
• 14:01
  Speaker 1: We're going to parachute him into Cuba, and he'll figure
• 14:04
  Speaker 1: out that mess. It's not so far-fetched after all. Oh,
• 14:09
  Speaker 1: that can't happen. It's ridiculous. And you already hear it.
• 14:12
  Speaker 1: I've already heard it this morning. Here you go. The
• 14:14
  Speaker 1: so-called experts, the foreign policy experts on MSNBC, you know,
• 14:18
  Speaker 1: the Obama holdovers. But it's an impossible thing with the
• 14:22
  Speaker 1: Cuban-Russian connection, and it will never happen. Okay, keep on
• 14:26
  Speaker 1: thinking that. Why would Russia have any interest whatsoever, a
• 14:31
  Speaker 1: country that's still embroiled in war, that is being drained financially?
• 14:37
  Speaker 1: most of their resources. Why do they want an albatross
• 14:40
  Speaker 1: around their neck like Cuba, first of all? So, you know,
• 14:42
  Speaker 1: there's that Russia element they keep on pointing to. And secondly,
• 14:46
  Speaker 1: you don't think strategically, militarily, economically, and, and this is
• 14:52
  Speaker 1: a massive, massive part of this whole thing, culturally and socially,
• 14:57
  Speaker 1: Cuba would be important to the United States? Let me
• 15:00
  Speaker 1: tell you something. Obviously, being 90 miles away from Florida, yeah,
• 15:04
  Speaker 1: it's a pretty important location there. Also, it would be
• 15:07
  Speaker 1: another major win to put a clamp down on a
• 15:11
  Speaker 1: communist country that is abusing their people. That right there
• 15:14
  Speaker 1: should be the right thing to do. But thirdly, let
• 15:17
  Speaker 1: me just give you a little insight because I've been
• 15:19
  Speaker 1: living in South Florida for so long and what it's
• 15:21
  Speaker 1: actually like here. Culturally, and I'm talking the part of
• 15:24
  Speaker 1: South Florida that's like middle Broward County down to Miami-Dade
• 15:29
  Speaker 1: and then all the way through South Florida and all
• 15:32
  Speaker 1: of that. Let me explain to you how important... the
• 15:34
  Speaker 1: country of Cuba is to Cuban Americans that are born here,
• 15:37
  Speaker 1: now a couple of generations in. And this includes, by
• 15:40
  Speaker 1: the way, that very same Secretary of State, Marco Rubio,
• 15:43
  Speaker 1: how important it is to get Cuba back culturally and
• 15:46
  Speaker 1: a friend to the U.S., the government anyways. You know,
• 15:48
  Speaker 1: the people are still fighting for freedom. I first started
• 15:51
  Speaker 1: to see this, going back to, again, the first Trump
• 15:55
  Speaker 1: campaign for president, so late 2015 going into 2016, from
• 16:00
  Speaker 1: when he first came down the golden escalator. Remember that?
• 16:03
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 16:04
  Speaker 1: This is how important this was to Cuban Americans. I
• 16:08
  Speaker 1: first started to see it in radio days. Obviously, it
• 16:11
  Speaker 1: was a big deal. Trump's doing all these. He's he's
• 16:13
  Speaker 1: running for president. It's actually going to happen at the time.
• 16:15
  Speaker 1: Remember that we were asking the question at the time,
• 16:17
  Speaker 1: could this guy actually win? And it got laughed at
• 16:21
  Speaker 1: and all the other stuff. They started doing all these rallies.
• 16:23
  Speaker 1: It seemed like to me he was in Florida, South
• 16:27
  Speaker 1: Florida specifically. I swear to you, it seemed like every
• 16:30
  Speaker 1: other week. almost every one of these things that we
• 16:33
  Speaker 1: would pay attention to or attend just to see what's
• 16:36
  Speaker 1: going on in our neck of the woods, whether it
• 16:38
  Speaker 1: was down in Broward, some in Dade, a lot in
• 16:40
  Speaker 1: West Palm, different areas. I went to one in Central
• 16:43
  Speaker 1: Florida as well to see what was going on back
• 16:45
  Speaker 1: in the day. I can't even describe the support, the love,
• 16:51
  Speaker 1: and the passion that Cuban Americans from this particular area
• 16:55
  Speaker 1: of the country had for Trump. And it took me
• 16:58
  Speaker 1: by surprise because I wasn't quite sure and I had
• 16:59
  Speaker 1: to think about it. I'm like, oh, that You know what?
• 17:01
  Speaker 1: That makes sense. These are people who have seen communism firsthand.
• 17:05
  Speaker 1: They're seeing a guy running for president who's talking tough
• 17:08
  Speaker 1: against Cuba. You know, the Cuban communist regime that kicked
• 17:12
  Speaker 1: their family members, whether it's one or two generations away,
• 17:15
  Speaker 1: out of their country. No wonder why they're doing this.
• 17:18
  Speaker 1: And then it grew. And then they started to see
• 17:21
  Speaker 1: the truck rallies with the Trump, the MAGA flags. along
• 17:27
  Speaker 1: with the American flags and Cuban flags. You started to
• 17:30
  Speaker 1: see that a lot down here. If you don't think,
• 17:33
  Speaker 1: and this may be different if you're listening in the
• 17:34
  Speaker 1: middle of the country or in California somewhere or anything,
• 17:36
  Speaker 1: you may not understand the southeast part of the U.S.
• 17:39
  Speaker 1: and the Cuban connection, how important this is to people
• 17:41
  Speaker 1: down here. If you don't think this is popular, you
• 17:44
  Speaker 1: have an entire region of the country, meaning South Florida
• 17:48
  Speaker 1: and really a lot of the South, completely for us
• 17:53
  Speaker 1: being involved with Cuba. and actually getting that military. Can
• 17:56
  Speaker 1: you imagine if that was a viable, free, democratic society
• 18:00
  Speaker 1: that you could actually go to and it was actually
• 18:02
  Speaker 1: nice again like the 50s? Imagine that. Now, it wasn't
• 18:07
  Speaker 1: the best conditions for the poor people. That's how communism
• 18:09
  Speaker 1: reared its ugly head. But still, can you imagine if
• 18:12
  Speaker 1: that was actually something that we could actually do? Don't
• 18:15
  Speaker 1: discount the support they have down here. I am telling you,
• 18:18
  Speaker 1: just living in Florida, the support that Cuban Americans, and
• 18:21
  Speaker 1: most Floridians anyway, have for Toppling that regime? If your
• 18:27
  Speaker 1: argument against us taking over Cuba or being heavily involved
• 18:30
  Speaker 1: someday is that you don't think it has America's support,
• 18:33
  Speaker 1: I would think again about that one. I've seen it firsthand. Massively,
• 18:37
  Speaker 1: massively popular move.
• 18:38
  Speaker 2: So I don't know.
• 18:39
  Speaker 1: So I'll go back to the original question. After yesterday's events,
• 18:43
  Speaker 1: the fight on the UN floor, all right, really a
• 18:45
  Speaker 1: shouting match, whatever, between the UN ambassador Mike Walz and
• 18:50
  Speaker 1: the Cuban delegation, which was kicked out of the country
• 18:52
  Speaker 1: last night, What are the odds now that you think
• 18:55
  Speaker 1: this could happen, that we could actually, I'll use the term,
• 18:58
  Speaker 1: take over Cuba, or at least be heavily involved with
• 19:01
  Speaker 1: being a partner and booting out the communist regime? Did
• 19:05
  Speaker 1: they increase after yesterday? I think they would have to,
• 19:08
  Speaker 1: because now most of the country is aware of the issue,
• 19:10
  Speaker 1: at least. Odds of it happening anytime soon? Probably not.
• 19:15
  Speaker 1: I mean, we've got a lot of things to cover
• 19:17
  Speaker 1: first before that happens, but like everything else, depends on
• 19:19
  Speaker 1: the midterms, where we go the final two years. I'll
• 19:22
  Speaker 1: just ask you this. Could you see something? Could you
• 19:24
  Speaker 1: see some sort of involvement? Now that Marco Rubio, Trump,
• 19:28
  Speaker 1: the U.N. ambassador, Americans in general are in support of
• 19:32
  Speaker 1: toppling that Cuban regime and they don't have the support
• 19:34
  Speaker 1: of Russia anymore, could you see it happening by the
• 19:36
  Speaker 1: end of Trump's term? It's not so far-fetched anymore, is it?
• 19:40
  Speaker 1: Look at the Greenland example. I don't know. We'll see.
• 19:44
  Speaker 1: Fight at the UN. There's never anything exciting to talk
• 19:48
  Speaker 1: about with the UN, but finally we have one. Anyway.
• 19:51
  Speaker 1: All right. It's midweek. Making a great one. Making a
• 19:53
  Speaker 1: wicked awesome Wednesday. Thanks for finding me as always. Wicked
