1 00:00:00,120 --> 00:00:05,640 Speaker 1: Are there talks happening with Cuba. If any talks are happening, 2 00:00:05,720 --> 00:00:08,280 Speaker 1: the US should make it crystal clear they're not going 3 00:00:08,360 --> 00:00:13,200 Speaker 1: to be rewarding any dictatorship. It should be rare real 4 00:00:13,440 --> 00:00:16,920 Speaker 1: and expand the freedom of the people in Cuba and 5 00:00:16,960 --> 00:00:19,160 Speaker 1: any opportunities for the human people. 6 00:00:19,680 --> 00:00:21,239 Speaker 2: Donald Trump was asked about. 7 00:00:20,960 --> 00:00:24,520 Speaker 1: This, and he did he said it out loud. He 8 00:00:24,680 --> 00:00:28,120 Speaker 1: said it out loud, and he said that Cuba is 9 00:00:28,160 --> 00:00:29,800 Speaker 1: actually talking with us right now. 10 00:00:30,480 --> 00:00:33,280 Speaker 3: The Cuban government is talking with us. 11 00:00:33,240 --> 00:00:35,919 Speaker 4: And they're in a big deal of trouble. As you know, 12 00:00:35,960 --> 00:00:39,240 Speaker 4: they have no money, they have no anything right now, 13 00:00:39,680 --> 00:00:43,720 Speaker 4: but they're talking with us, and maybe we'll have a friendly. 14 00:00:43,400 --> 00:00:44,320 Speaker 3: Takeover of Cuba. 15 00:00:44,680 --> 00:00:46,520 Speaker 4: We could very well end up having. 16 00:00:46,240 --> 00:00:48,080 Speaker 3: A friendly takeover of Pupa. 17 00:00:48,240 --> 00:00:50,720 Speaker 4: We've had a lot of years of dealing with you, 18 00:00:50,800 --> 00:00:53,720 Speaker 4: but I've been hearing about Cuba since I'm a little boy. 19 00:00:54,560 --> 00:00:55,120 Speaker 2: But they're in. 20 00:00:55,080 --> 00:00:58,920 Speaker 4: Big trouble and we could very well something good. Well, 21 00:00:59,000 --> 00:01:02,600 Speaker 4: I think very positive for the people that were expelled 22 00:01:02,760 --> 00:01:04,960 Speaker 4: or worse from Cuba that live here. 23 00:01:05,120 --> 00:01:05,640 Speaker 5: You know, we have. 24 00:01:05,640 --> 00:01:07,720 Speaker 4: People living here that want to go back to Cuba. 25 00:01:08,080 --> 00:01:09,440 Speaker 4: Cuba is doing very badly. 26 00:01:09,680 --> 00:01:13,920 Speaker 3: I have failing Cuba right now is to put it mildly, 27 00:01:14,000 --> 00:01:16,639 Speaker 3: a failing nation. And you know, they have no money, 28 00:01:16,640 --> 00:01:19,280 Speaker 3: to have no oil, to have no food, and it's 29 00:01:19,319 --> 00:01:21,880 Speaker 3: really right now and nation in deep trouble and they 30 00:01:21,880 --> 00:01:22,720 Speaker 3: want our help. 31 00:01:24,640 --> 00:01:27,039 Speaker 1: I completely think that Cuba will be one hundred percent 32 00:01:27,120 --> 00:01:29,360 Speaker 1: liberated before the end of the Trump presidency. 33 00:01:29,400 --> 00:01:32,240 Speaker 2: I think he's going to make that happen. And it's time. 34 00:01:32,720 --> 00:01:35,520 Speaker 1: It's time, same thing that's been going on since the 35 00:01:35,560 --> 00:01:38,840 Speaker 1: mid sixties. The Cubans have been suffering under communist regime 36 00:01:38,880 --> 00:01:42,280 Speaker 1: for a long time, and they deserve an opportunity to 37 00:01:42,360 --> 00:01:44,280 Speaker 1: have a better life. And you got to think that 38 00:01:44,360 --> 00:01:47,440 Speaker 1: Kim Jong un right now is a little worried. 39 00:01:47,560 --> 00:01:50,440 Speaker 6: Yeah, you guys remember me. Can can we worry about 40 00:01:50,440 --> 00:01:52,240 Speaker 6: one war at a time? We got there, We got 41 00:01:52,240 --> 00:01:53,680 Speaker 6: our hands full of the ran right now. 42 00:01:53,800 --> 00:01:54,400 Speaker 2: I mean, it's that. 43 00:01:54,600 --> 00:01:56,600 Speaker 6: But this is kind of part of Trump's strategy, and 44 00:01:56,920 --> 00:01:59,520 Speaker 6: He's spoken about this a little bit that he tends 45 00:01:59,560 --> 00:02:02,600 Speaker 6: to overwhelm people with action. He certainly does that as 46 00:02:02,600 --> 00:02:05,440 Speaker 6: it relates to his adversaries in the media, but we're 47 00:02:05,440 --> 00:02:07,320 Speaker 6: seeing it right now on the global stage as well. 48 00:02:07,400 --> 00:02:10,520 Speaker 5: He wants to overwhelm his enemies with. 49 00:02:10,639 --> 00:02:13,040 Speaker 6: Action, so that they don't have a chance to kind 50 00:02:13,040 --> 00:02:15,760 Speaker 6: of regroup, get their head above water, and figure out 51 00:02:15,760 --> 00:02:17,359 Speaker 6: their next point of action. He's like, Nope, We're just 52 00:02:17,400 --> 00:02:19,519 Speaker 6: going to steamroll and go forward and plow ahead. And 53 00:02:19,919 --> 00:02:22,799 Speaker 6: if that's gonna happen in Cuba. Look, obviously, I hope 54 00:02:22,800 --> 00:02:24,639 Speaker 6: that we have some sort of peaceful agreement with Cuba, 55 00:02:24,760 --> 00:02:27,040 Speaker 6: especially because we got our hands full with Iran right now. 56 00:02:27,320 --> 00:02:30,600 Speaker 6: But according to Donald Trump, at least those conversations have started, 57 00:02:30,720 --> 00:02:33,720 Speaker 6: and it makes a lot of sense Cuba. Ever since 58 00:02:33,800 --> 00:02:36,639 Speaker 6: we took Maduro and he's sitting in a jail cell 59 00:02:36,639 --> 00:02:38,560 Speaker 6: in the New York prison right now. Cuba lost their 60 00:02:38,560 --> 00:02:40,919 Speaker 6: only source of oil, and that country and its people 61 00:02:40,919 --> 00:02:43,280 Speaker 6: are suffering right now because they have no source of energy, 62 00:02:43,320 --> 00:02:45,600 Speaker 6: they have no imports coming into the country. It cannot 63 00:02:45,639 --> 00:02:48,600 Speaker 6: sustain itself. They do not produce enough food, oil, and 64 00:02:48,680 --> 00:02:52,400 Speaker 6: other necessities to function as a country. So Cuba's pretty 65 00:02:52,480 --> 00:02:54,520 Speaker 6: much run out of options in a short period of time. 66 00:02:54,639 --> 00:02:58,720 Speaker 1: Yeah, the discussions were described as exploratory and they focused 67 00:02:58,720 --> 00:03:03,320 Speaker 1: on Cuba's future, potentially involving some economic changes, how sanctions 68 00:03:03,400 --> 00:03:07,480 Speaker 1: might be eased if reform occurs, not anything formal. The 69 00:03:07,560 --> 00:03:11,959 Speaker 1: Cuban government has officially dismissed any of the claims of 70 00:03:12,000 --> 00:03:13,480 Speaker 1: any high level US talks. 71 00:03:13,600 --> 00:03:16,000 Speaker 2: He's said that that's strictly speculation. 72 00:03:16,240 --> 00:03:20,079 Speaker 1: It's not really clear whether Marco Rubio himself has directly 73 00:03:20,120 --> 00:03:22,600 Speaker 1: met with any of the Castro family members or if 74 00:03:22,639 --> 00:03:26,440 Speaker 1: the meetings were just handled by AIDS. How serious all 75 00:03:26,480 --> 00:03:30,400 Speaker 1: of this is, but again, it's it's being talked about, 76 00:03:30,440 --> 00:03:33,440 Speaker 1: it's in the conversation. And I keep thinking about, do 77 00:03:33,480 --> 00:03:37,440 Speaker 1: you remember was it at the Was it at. 78 00:03:37,320 --> 00:03:40,200 Speaker 2: The rally in Butler when Elon Musk was there? 79 00:03:40,280 --> 00:03:42,120 Speaker 1: Is that where he said it, when he threw up 80 00:03:42,120 --> 00:03:43,960 Speaker 1: his arms in the air and he said, the future 81 00:03:44,120 --> 00:03:45,240 Speaker 1: is going to be amazing. 82 00:03:45,640 --> 00:03:47,840 Speaker 6: Yes, that was the Butler two point h not the 83 00:03:47,880 --> 00:03:49,920 Speaker 6: one with the attempted assassination, but the. 84 00:03:50,360 --> 00:03:53,000 Speaker 2: That's where it happened, right, Yeah, You and I. 85 00:03:52,960 --> 00:03:56,560 Speaker 5: Were there and and Elon Musk spoke and one point the. 86 00:03:56,520 --> 00:03:59,240 Speaker 2: Time of his arms and he said, the future is going. 87 00:03:59,120 --> 00:04:01,720 Speaker 5: To be a me That clip went viral and it 88 00:04:01,800 --> 00:04:02,640 Speaker 5: was everywhere, and I. 89 00:04:02,640 --> 00:04:06,160 Speaker 2: Keep thinking about, like was that their plan all along? 90 00:04:06,400 --> 00:04:09,040 Speaker 1: Like were they going to get together and they were like, okay, 91 00:04:09,440 --> 00:04:12,960 Speaker 1: we've got to change it's the new world order. 92 00:04:12,960 --> 00:04:15,120 Speaker 2: We got to change things. So what are we going 93 00:04:15,200 --> 00:04:15,400 Speaker 2: to do. 94 00:04:15,440 --> 00:04:19,600 Speaker 1: We're gonna get rid of these dictator and you know, 95 00:04:19,640 --> 00:04:23,640 Speaker 1: these regimes that are just not good for these countries 96 00:04:23,760 --> 00:04:27,200 Speaker 1: and any of the countries around them, Venezuela and Iran 97 00:04:27,279 --> 00:04:28,640 Speaker 1: and then now Cuba. 98 00:04:29,240 --> 00:04:30,479 Speaker 5: Yeah, I think that was a big part. 99 00:04:30,560 --> 00:04:33,880 Speaker 6: Look, Donald Trump had bold ideas and a bold strategy 100 00:04:33,920 --> 00:04:36,200 Speaker 6: when he ran for president in twenty twenty four. And look, 101 00:04:36,240 --> 00:04:38,040 Speaker 6: I think what Elon Musk was talking about was a 102 00:04:38,040 --> 00:04:40,920 Speaker 6: lot of things. Obviously he got handed the Doge project 103 00:04:41,000 --> 00:04:43,080 Speaker 6: that's kind of falling apart, but had some good intentions. 104 00:04:43,320 --> 00:04:45,840 Speaker 2: Sure, and clearly he was probably talking technology. 105 00:04:46,320 --> 00:04:48,720 Speaker 5: Yeah, and that's still may all be true. But I 106 00:04:48,800 --> 00:04:49,960 Speaker 5: keep going back to this point. 107 00:04:50,000 --> 00:04:54,680 Speaker 6: Donald Trump's strategy has always been to overwhelm your enemies 108 00:04:54,720 --> 00:04:57,479 Speaker 6: with action, and that not even just talking about Iran. 109 00:04:57,520 --> 00:05:01,200 Speaker 6: It's just talking about keep doing bold actions so that 110 00:05:01,279 --> 00:05:04,159 Speaker 6: people that are opposed to you don't have an opportunity 111 00:05:04,240 --> 00:05:06,720 Speaker 6: to regroup, get their head above water and figure out 112 00:05:06,720 --> 00:05:08,520 Speaker 6: how to push back against you. Just keep pushing to 113 00:05:08,560 --> 00:05:10,240 Speaker 6: the next thing, and the next thing and the next thing. 114 00:05:10,640 --> 00:05:14,800 Speaker 2: And with Donald Trump publicly acknowledging the efforts. 115 00:05:15,360 --> 00:05:18,480 Speaker 1: That does suggest that, Yeah, the US is in discussions 116 00:05:18,480 --> 00:05:19,440 Speaker 1: with people in Havanah. 117 00:05:19,520 --> 00:05:21,719 Speaker 6: Yeah, and again hopefully that would end up being a settlement. 118 00:05:21,880 --> 00:05:24,320 Speaker 6: I do have some skepticism around this. I mean, we've 119 00:05:24,320 --> 00:05:25,360 Speaker 6: seen this proven a I. 120 00:05:25,279 --> 00:05:26,719 Speaker 2: Want to send Marco Rubio down there. 121 00:05:26,800 --> 00:05:28,720 Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean, it wouldn't. 122 00:05:28,320 --> 00:05:31,640 Speaker 6: Be surprised that whatever happens in Cuba and whatever changes 123 00:05:31,720 --> 00:05:34,599 Speaker 6: come about that in some way, I guarantee you Marco 124 00:05:34,720 --> 00:05:36,960 Speaker 6: Rubio is going to be part of that because he's 125 00:05:37,080 --> 00:05:39,200 Speaker 6: you know, his parents fled Cuba and came to the 126 00:05:39,279 --> 00:05:42,280 Speaker 6: United States. He's of Cuban descent. He obviously wants to 127 00:05:42,320 --> 00:05:47,400 Speaker 6: see that country flourish. But Donald Trump, these dictators don't 128 00:05:47,400 --> 00:05:50,160 Speaker 6: want to give up power, even when they're given every opportunity. 129 00:05:50,200 --> 00:05:53,000 Speaker 6: The reports are that Trump spoke to Maduro personally and said, look, 130 00:05:53,160 --> 00:05:55,400 Speaker 6: if you want to go into asylum, you know, fly 131 00:05:55,520 --> 00:05:57,360 Speaker 6: off to Russia and live the rest of your life there. 132 00:05:57,600 --> 00:05:59,640 Speaker 6: Just find no problem. You can do that and we 133 00:05:59,680 --> 00:06:01,560 Speaker 6: won't hunt you down. And he said, nope, I'm not 134 00:06:01,600 --> 00:06:04,000 Speaker 6: going to do it. And supposedly he made the same 135 00:06:04,040 --> 00:06:06,120 Speaker 6: offer to the Iatole and Iran said, hey, if you 136 00:06:06,120 --> 00:06:07,720 Speaker 6: want to go to Russia. Live out the rest of 137 00:06:07,760 --> 00:06:10,240 Speaker 6: your days in Russia. Just fine, we'll take care of 138 00:06:10,600 --> 00:06:12,160 Speaker 6: you know, figure out what to do with Iran. And 139 00:06:12,200 --> 00:06:14,520 Speaker 6: he said no to that as well. So I got 140 00:06:14,520 --> 00:06:17,000 Speaker 6: to believe that that pattern holds true. And it's good 141 00:06:17,000 --> 00:06:19,440 Speaker 6: that we're having discussions with the leaders of Cuba, but 142 00:06:19,480 --> 00:06:22,599 Speaker 6: these dictators do not like to give up power, even 143 00:06:22,600 --> 00:06:23,640 Speaker 6: when they're offered, and offer 144 00:06:23,720 --> 00:06:25,640 Speaker 2: Him and then they face consequences.
