1
00:00:02,279 --> 00:00:04,520
Speaker 1: First of all, we can't trust anything that the Cubans say,

2
00:00:04,680 --> 00:00:07,240
Speaker 1: So if they say it was only a mile off shore,

3
00:00:07,400 --> 00:00:10,039
Speaker 1: then that opens questions like what was that speedboat doing

4
00:00:10,039 --> 00:00:12,840
Speaker 1: there because it was within the twelve nautical mile legal

5
00:00:12,880 --> 00:00:16,200
Speaker 1: limit of the sovereign territory of Cuba. If it was

6
00:00:16,200 --> 00:00:18,560
Speaker 1: outside of twelve miles and this happened, which we will

7
00:00:18,560 --> 00:00:21,240
Speaker 1: be able to probably determine, then that is something very

8
00:00:21,320 --> 00:00:24,040
Speaker 1: very different, and that becomes a very big diplomatic incident.

9
00:00:24,320 --> 00:00:26,639
Speaker 2: No kidding. You don't just roll up into another country's

10
00:00:26,680 --> 00:00:28,800
Speaker 2: backyard with a bunch of people in guns and then

11
00:00:28,920 --> 00:00:32,440
Speaker 2: act shocked when they fight back. However, until we get

12
00:00:32,440 --> 00:00:34,680
Speaker 2: real answers about who was on the boat and what

13
00:00:34,720 --> 00:00:37,639
Speaker 2: they were doing, it's kind of reckless to assume Cuba's

14
00:00:37,680 --> 00:00:42,280
Speaker 2: word is gospel. Guess what what? The Clintons are back.

15
00:00:42,720 --> 00:00:45,200
Speaker 3: Yeah, and for a pretty darn good reason.

16
00:00:45,400 --> 00:00:47,760
Speaker 2: Big day for the Clintons. So I thought it would

17
00:00:47,760 --> 00:00:49,720
Speaker 2: be a great time to remind you of this.

18
00:00:50,159 --> 00:00:51,159
Speaker 4: I want you to listen to me.

19
00:00:51,320 --> 00:00:54,200
Speaker 5: I'm going to say this again. Ah, I did not

20
00:00:55,040 --> 00:01:00,279
Speaker 5: have sexual relations with that woman, miss Lewinsky, and dat

21
00:01:00,320 --> 00:01:02,720
Speaker 5: I did have a relationship with mister Winsby that was

22
00:01:02,760 --> 00:01:03,640
Speaker 5: not appropriate.

23
00:01:04,440 --> 00:01:05,919
Speaker 4: In fact, it was wrong.

24
00:01:06,319 --> 00:01:08,840
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, Bill changed his mind pretty quick, there, didn't he.

25
00:01:09,120 --> 00:01:11,399
Speaker 2: Also today we're going to be talking about how JD.

26
00:01:11,520 --> 00:01:15,200
Speaker 2: Vance says that the administration has seen evidence that Iran

27
00:01:15,440 --> 00:01:18,920
Speaker 2: is trying to build rebuild nuclear weapons.

28
00:01:19,200 --> 00:01:22,520
Speaker 4: But the principles very simple. Iran cannot have a nuclear weapon.

29
00:01:22,520 --> 00:01:25,440
Speaker 4: If they try to rebuild a nuclear weapon, that causes

30
00:01:25,480 --> 00:01:27,640
Speaker 4: problems for US, And in fact, we've seen evidence that

31
00:01:27,680 --> 00:01:30,360
Speaker 4: they have tried to do exactly that. So the President

32
00:01:30,480 --> 00:01:33,600
Speaker 4: sending those negotiators to try to address that problem. As

33
00:01:33,600 --> 00:01:36,120
Speaker 4: the President has said repeatedly, he wants to address that

34
00:01:36,160 --> 00:01:39,360
Speaker 4: problem diplomatically, but of course the President has other options

35
00:01:39,360 --> 00:01:39,800
Speaker 4: as well.

36
00:01:40,360 --> 00:01:43,000
Speaker 2: Also, Nikki Kelly is going to join us at ten

37
00:01:43,000 --> 00:01:45,240
Speaker 2: o'clock and we're going to ask her about the IU

38
00:01:45,400 --> 00:01:50,640
Speaker 2: r c's affordability investigation. Is it really an investigation, Will

39
00:01:50,840 --> 00:01:53,960
Speaker 2: changes be made if they find anything or is this

40
00:01:54,080 --> 00:01:57,320
Speaker 2: all just for show? But back to what's going on

41
00:01:57,440 --> 00:02:01,480
Speaker 2: with that boat that went into Cuban water? According to Cuba,

42
00:02:01,600 --> 00:02:05,960
Speaker 2: Cuban authorities say a Florida Register's speedboat was spotted near

43
00:02:06,000 --> 00:02:09,960
Speaker 2: Cuban waters and when the Cuban patrol boats approached the

44
00:02:10,000 --> 00:02:14,680
Speaker 2: people on that speedboat allegedly open fire first. So if

45
00:02:14,680 --> 00:02:17,480
Speaker 2: these reports are true that that boat left from Florida

46
00:02:17,560 --> 00:02:20,200
Speaker 2: and then went into Cuba's waters armed and firing, well

47
00:02:20,200 --> 00:02:22,680
Speaker 2: that's not a freedom mission. That's just reckless.

48
00:02:22,800 --> 00:02:25,839
Speaker 3: Yeah, you mentioned it. And the important part is here

49
00:02:26,000 --> 00:02:28,760
Speaker 3: we really don't know what happened yet, and we're certainly

50
00:02:28,800 --> 00:02:32,520
Speaker 3: not going to take Cuba's word for it, and rightly so,

51
00:02:32,520 --> 00:02:34,720
Speaker 3: so there's going to be an investigation that takes place.

52
00:02:34,919 --> 00:02:37,119
Speaker 3: And I think another key part of this story, too,

53
00:02:37,240 --> 00:02:41,320
Speaker 3: is is that the ten individuals were Cuban nationals that

54
00:02:41,400 --> 00:02:44,680
Speaker 3: were living in the United States. So for example, let's assume,

55
00:02:45,440 --> 00:02:48,639
Speaker 3: you know, just for fun here, that Cuba is accurate

56
00:02:48,720 --> 00:02:52,520
Speaker 3: on all their information. So, yeah, if ten Cuban nationals

57
00:02:52,520 --> 00:02:55,160
Speaker 3: who live in the United States show up on a

58
00:02:55,160 --> 00:02:57,520
Speaker 3: boat a mile off of their waters with some guns

59
00:02:57,520 --> 00:03:00,440
Speaker 3: and start firing into their you know, at their troops,

60
00:03:00,639 --> 00:03:03,600
Speaker 3: of course that they're going to return fire and take

61
00:03:03,639 --> 00:03:06,920
Speaker 3: the you know, the ones that haven't perished, take them capture.

62
00:03:06,960 --> 00:03:09,600
Speaker 3: And that's exactly what happened. And by the way, if

63
00:03:09,639 --> 00:03:12,440
Speaker 3: the somebody from Cuba did the same thing to us,

64
00:03:12,960 --> 00:03:14,480
Speaker 3: we would do the same. In fact, it'd be a

65
00:03:14,480 --> 00:03:17,079
Speaker 3: little bit different. So imagine if ten people from Cuba.

66
00:03:17,160 --> 00:03:20,239
Speaker 3: Let's completely reverse it. Let's say it was ten American

67
00:03:20,360 --> 00:03:22,880
Speaker 3: nationals that live in Cuba and they got on a

68
00:03:22,919 --> 00:03:25,680
Speaker 3: boat with a bunch of guns and rolled up onto

69
00:03:25,840 --> 00:03:29,400
Speaker 3: I don't know, our naval base in Norfolk, Virginia and

70
00:03:29,520 --> 00:03:33,600
Speaker 3: started firing guns. The only difference that would happen there

71
00:03:33,720 --> 00:03:37,280
Speaker 3: is there wouldn't be six survivors. In fact, all ten

72
00:03:37,320 --> 00:03:40,120
Speaker 3: of them, you would not be able to find any

73
00:03:40,200 --> 00:03:43,960
Speaker 3: proof that they ever existed. Again, we would completely blow

74
00:03:44,000 --> 00:03:46,840
Speaker 3: them out of the water. But this is much more

75
00:03:46,880 --> 00:03:48,280
Speaker 3: of a wait and see, And I love to hear

76
00:03:48,320 --> 00:03:51,240
Speaker 3: that from Secretary of Rubio because that's essentially what he said.

77
00:03:51,400 --> 00:03:53,720
Speaker 3: We're certainly not going to take the Cuban's word for it.

78
00:03:53,920 --> 00:03:55,960
Speaker 3: We're going to investigate and we're going to find out

79
00:03:55,960 --> 00:03:59,040
Speaker 3: what's going to happen. But I think this is a

80
00:03:59,040 --> 00:04:00,840
Speaker 3: lot of the focus on four and policy right now

81
00:04:00,920 --> 00:04:03,400
Speaker 3: is about Iran, and rightly so as it should be,

82
00:04:03,600 --> 00:04:06,200
Speaker 3: but we're going to hear more and more about Cuba here. Ever,

83
00:04:06,240 --> 00:04:09,000
Speaker 3: since we went down and took Maduro in Venezuela, that

84
00:04:09,160 --> 00:04:12,120
Speaker 3: was the only source that Cubans were getting oil and

85
00:04:12,200 --> 00:04:15,360
Speaker 3: now President Trump has cut that off completely, and Trump

86
00:04:15,360 --> 00:04:18,719
Speaker 3: has essentially created a blockade around Cuba. Cuba can't survive

87
00:04:18,760 --> 00:04:20,680
Speaker 3: on its own, never has been able to. They don't

88
00:04:20,680 --> 00:04:23,680
Speaker 3: produce very much there. They certainly they import a lot

89
00:04:23,680 --> 00:04:25,600
Speaker 3: of food, all of their energy, and a ton of

90
00:04:25,640 --> 00:04:28,160
Speaker 3: other stuff. And Trump has essentially set up a blockade

91
00:04:28,240 --> 00:04:30,839
Speaker 3: around Cuba so that no imports can get in. He's

92
00:04:30,920 --> 00:04:33,880
Speaker 3: done that by threatening every other country in the world

93
00:04:33,920 --> 00:04:37,360
Speaker 3: that sends any sort of goods into Cuba with excessive tariffs,

94
00:04:37,400 --> 00:04:39,479
Speaker 3: and of course every other country in the world is

95
00:04:39,600 --> 00:04:41,520
Speaker 3: pretty much scared to death of Donald Trump right now,

96
00:04:41,520 --> 00:04:45,880
Speaker 3: so they're not doing that. But Cuba's really struggling for

97
00:04:45,920 --> 00:04:48,720
Speaker 3: the most part. They have no electricity. Electricity goes on

98
00:04:48,760 --> 00:04:50,840
Speaker 3: for maybe an hour or two a day. They're living

99
00:04:50,880 --> 00:04:53,520
Speaker 3: by candle light for the most part. This is quickly

100
00:04:53,560 --> 00:04:56,400
Speaker 3: going to become a humanitarian crisis. If something isn't done.

101
00:04:56,480 --> 00:04:59,680
Speaker 3: Cuba is going to be talked about a lot more

102
00:04:59,680 --> 00:05:02,400
Speaker 3: in than thy days. And this is just one example

103
00:05:02,440 --> 00:05:04,760
Speaker 3: of that, and certainly not going to be the last example.

104
00:05:04,800 --> 00:05:06,440
Speaker 2: You brought up a lot of good points, so we're

105
00:05:06,440 --> 00:05:10,560
Speaker 2: gonna hear what Secretario Secretary Rubio had to say in

106
00:05:10,600 --> 00:05:14,599
Speaker 2: just a minute. But private citizens freelancing foreign policy with

107
00:05:14,680 --> 00:05:18,440
Speaker 2: bullets that puts lives at risks and can drag the

108
00:05:18,520 --> 00:05:22,719
Speaker 2: United States into an international mess that's already there. It

109
00:05:22,760 --> 00:05:26,800
Speaker 2: can just escalate things really quick. And Cuba's been under

110
00:05:27,120 --> 00:05:30,640
Speaker 2: communism for decades and the results right there in front

111
00:05:30,640 --> 00:05:33,839
Speaker 2: of everybody. It's a system built after Fidel Castro took

112
00:05:33,880 --> 00:05:37,560
Speaker 2: over promised equality and prosperity, and what people got instead

113
00:05:37,880 --> 00:05:41,520
Speaker 2: were shortages and censorship and a government that never has

114
00:05:41,560 --> 00:05:44,720
Speaker 2: to answer. And when a country locks down private businesses

115
00:05:44,760 --> 00:05:48,279
Speaker 2: and punishes success, it puts the state in charge of everything.

116
00:05:48,600 --> 00:05:52,679
Speaker 2: You don't get growth, you get stagnation. So you also

117
00:05:52,760 --> 00:05:57,440
Speaker 2: mentioned Venezuela. Is this fallout from the capture of Maduro.

118
00:05:58,040 --> 00:06:01,000
Speaker 1: It's fallout in the sense that the Cubans are very nervous.

119
00:06:01,080 --> 00:06:03,960
Speaker 1: So remember when we took Maduro and we said that

120
00:06:03,960 --> 00:06:06,880
Speaker 1: we're going to control Venezuela and oil. We said, sixty

121
00:06:06,920 --> 00:06:09,720
Speaker 1: percent of your daily requirement of oil, Cuba is no

122
00:06:09,839 --> 00:06:12,040
Speaker 1: longer going to come to you from Venezuela. And so

123
00:06:12,160 --> 00:06:14,040
Speaker 1: you think about a cut of that much oil that

124
00:06:14,200 --> 00:06:16,920
Speaker 1: keeps the lights on is eventually going to crush the

125
00:06:17,000 --> 00:06:19,480
Speaker 1: Cuban economy. The Cubans know this, They know that the

126
00:06:19,520 --> 00:06:21,880
Speaker 1: White House has said very clearly that they want regime

127
00:06:22,000 --> 00:06:24,480
Speaker 1: change in Havana. So it's a matter of time before

128
00:06:24,520 --> 00:06:27,760
Speaker 1: the economy collapses and something has to give. So very

129
00:06:27,880 --> 00:06:29,640
Speaker 1: very nervous until you can see that they may be

130
00:06:29,760 --> 00:06:32,240
Speaker 1: on guard. But at this point there's no reason to

131
00:06:32,279 --> 00:06:34,520
Speaker 1: think that this was deliberate or something done by the

132
00:06:34,600 --> 00:06:38,080
Speaker 1: United States government. Smuggling happens back and forth between Cuba

133
00:06:38,120 --> 00:06:40,560
Speaker 1: and Florida all the time, so a lot of questions here.

134
00:06:40,640 --> 00:06:42,480
Speaker 1: We can't really determine anything, but we do know that

135
00:06:42,560 --> 00:06:46,120
Speaker 1: the Cubans are very nervous about the US pushing the

136
00:06:46,160 --> 00:06:47,200
Speaker 1: regime to collapse.

137
00:06:48,040 --> 00:06:50,120
Speaker 2: And you know, when you poke the hornet's nest with

138
00:06:50,200 --> 00:06:52,080
Speaker 2: a stick, don't act shocked when you get stung.

139
00:06:52,360 --> 00:06:54,919
Speaker 3: Yeah, that plip the audio right there. He brings up

140
00:06:54,960 --> 00:06:56,400
Speaker 3: a really good point that there is a lot of

141
00:06:56,480 --> 00:06:59,480
Speaker 3: smuggling that takes place. I mean in Florida. Keys are

142
00:06:59,520 --> 00:07:02,600
Speaker 3: only ninety miles away from Cuba, and so tons of

143
00:07:02,640 --> 00:07:05,200
Speaker 3: smuggling of all sorts takes place in there. You know,

144
00:07:05,400 --> 00:07:08,000
Speaker 3: for Cuba's sake. I hope that their version of the

145
00:07:08,080 --> 00:07:10,480
Speaker 3: story is the true version of the story, because if

146
00:07:10,520 --> 00:07:13,240
Speaker 3: it turns out, look, Donald Trump's just looking for an

147
00:07:13,280 --> 00:07:15,320
Speaker 3: excuse at this point. Just give him an excuse. If

148
00:07:15,360 --> 00:07:17,840
Speaker 3: it turns out that this was just some innocent people

149
00:07:18,000 --> 00:07:22,280
Speaker 3: in a fishing boat and they hadn't entered Cuba's territorial waters,

150
00:07:23,000 --> 00:07:24,800
Speaker 3: and then, by the way, those people are living in

151
00:07:24,800 --> 00:07:26,680
Speaker 3: the United States of America and just happened to be

152
00:07:26,760 --> 00:07:29,119
Speaker 3: down there, that's going to be a big problem for Cuba.

153
00:07:29,240 --> 00:07:32,440
Speaker 3: Donald Trump at this point is just looking for an

154
00:07:32,480 --> 00:07:35,400
Speaker 3: excuse for regime change in Cuba, and if what the

155
00:07:35,480 --> 00:07:37,880
Speaker 3: Cubans have told us isn't true, they might have just

156
00:07:37,920 --> 00:07:39,240
Speaker 3: given Donald Trump his excuse.

157
00:07:39,480 --> 00:07:43,840
Speaker 2: Cuba's government called it an attempted infiltration for terrorist purposes.

158
00:07:44,000 --> 00:07:47,440
Speaker 2: Of course, US officials, including the Secretary of State Marco Rubio,

159
00:07:47,560 --> 00:07:51,280
Speaker 2: said that they're gathering facts and investigating. No US government

160
00:07:51,360 --> 00:07:52,680
Speaker 2: operation was involved.

161
00:07:53,120 --> 00:07:54,600
Speaker 4: So this morning, we were.

162
00:07:54,560 --> 00:07:57,400
Speaker 5: Made aware by Cuban authorities of an incident off the

163
00:07:57,480 --> 00:08:03,040
Speaker 5: coast of Cuba. Immediately began to look into it. As

164
00:08:03,080 --> 00:08:05,840
Speaker 5: it stands now, the Department of Homeland Security, the Coast Guard,

165
00:08:05,920 --> 00:08:09,440
Speaker 5: others are involved. The majority of the information we still

166
00:08:09,480 --> 00:08:12,120
Speaker 5: possess is what Cuban authorities are providing both the public

167
00:08:12,440 --> 00:08:15,520
Speaker 5: and the US government. We have our embassy on the

168
00:08:15,560 --> 00:08:18,240
Speaker 5: ground in Havana working this as we speak, asking for

169
00:08:18,360 --> 00:08:21,240
Speaker 5: access to the people that were on those vessels, if

170
00:08:21,240 --> 00:08:24,080
Speaker 5: they were American citizens or permanent residents. According to the

171
00:08:24,160 --> 00:08:29,560
Speaker 5: Cuban regime, the boat was registered in Florida. We're tracking

172
00:08:29,600 --> 00:08:32,480
Speaker 5: that down. We will know shortly, and we will quickly

173
00:08:33,679 --> 00:08:35,280
Speaker 5: many more facts about this incident.

174
00:08:36,000 --> 00:08:40,439
Speaker 2: Marco Rubio's feed kind of cut out there during that interview.

175
00:08:40,800 --> 00:08:43,520
Speaker 2: That's not on our end. That was the actual recording

176
00:08:43,600 --> 00:08:43,719
Speaker 2: of it.

177
00:08:44,040 --> 00:08:46,199
Speaker 3: Yeah, he was having some technical problems there.

178
00:08:46,440 --> 00:08:49,520
Speaker 2: The US government not confirmed Cuba's version. They say they're

179
00:08:49,520 --> 00:08:52,480
Speaker 2: still investigating what happened. And I'm guessing we're going to

180
00:08:52,520 --> 00:08:55,160
Speaker 2: be hearing from Ronda Santis a little bit more on this,

181
00:08:55,280 --> 00:08:57,960
Speaker 2: because they're claiming that boat was registered to Florida.

182
00:08:58,080 --> 00:09:00,000
Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm sure Ron Desandeers will have something to say.

183
00:09:00,200 --> 00:09:01,840
Speaker 3: You know, there's a lot of speculation, but there are

184
00:09:01,880 --> 00:09:04,440
Speaker 3: some really interesting accounts out there that haven't been proven

185
00:09:04,480 --> 00:09:07,160
Speaker 3: out yet that talk about how this boat may have

186
00:09:07,440 --> 00:09:14,280
Speaker 3: been Cuban relatives trying to rescue their fellow relatives in Cuba,

187
00:09:14,360 --> 00:09:17,120
Speaker 3: because of the conditions in Cuba are going so downhill

188
00:09:17,240 --> 00:09:19,680
Speaker 3: so fast that kind if that were to be true,

189
00:09:20,080 --> 00:09:21,760
Speaker 3: that really kind of puts this in a lot more

190
00:09:21,800 --> 00:09:24,520
Speaker 3: of a gray area. But still maybe the excuse Donald

191
00:09:24,520 --> 00:09:25,240
Speaker 3: Trump is looking for
