1
00:00:00,240 --> 00:00:05,040
Speaker 1: Now here's a highlight from coast to coast am on iHeartRadio, Jerry.

2
00:00:05,120 --> 00:00:08,560
Speaker 2: President Trump wants to have a say so in the

3
00:00:08,680 --> 00:00:12,400
Speaker 2: change over the guard, the unconditional surrender of the Iranian

4
00:00:12,440 --> 00:00:15,520
Speaker 2: people and the people put it in a new leader.

5
00:00:15,560 --> 00:00:19,119
Speaker 2: He wants to be a role model on that. Is

6
00:00:19,160 --> 00:00:20,000
Speaker 2: that going to happen?

7
00:00:21,000 --> 00:00:25,000
Speaker 3: I think, George, the possibility of it happened happening increases

8
00:00:25,079 --> 00:00:28,520
Speaker 3: as the war continues. The regime is going to be

9
00:00:28,560 --> 00:00:32,960
Speaker 3: suffering economically. We've now bombed and I believe we will

10
00:00:33,000 --> 00:00:38,000
Speaker 3: continue bombing this carg island off of Iran, which is

11
00:00:38,120 --> 00:00:43,320
Speaker 3: the oil production transmission island that Iran uses to ship

12
00:00:43,320 --> 00:00:47,840
Speaker 3: its oil internationally. And as we cut off Iran's oil,

13
00:00:48,120 --> 00:00:51,840
Speaker 3: its economy is going to fail, its ability to feed

14
00:00:51,880 --> 00:00:55,640
Speaker 3: the people and keep the Iranian people some forty thousand

15
00:00:55,720 --> 00:00:59,520
Speaker 3: of whom Iran is evidently killed in the recent uprisings

16
00:00:59,560 --> 00:01:03,000
Speaker 3: against the regime. I think the regime is more and

17
00:01:03,000 --> 00:01:06,280
Speaker 3: more shaky every day, and so I think that the

18
00:01:06,319 --> 00:01:11,480
Speaker 3: possibility of unconditional surrender increases as the war continues.

19
00:01:11,880 --> 00:01:14,520
Speaker 2: What are your thoughts about Russia and Ukraine now? Because

20
00:01:14,560 --> 00:01:17,760
Speaker 2: this kind of puts us in a situation where you

21
00:01:17,840 --> 00:01:20,840
Speaker 2: really can't squeeze putin after what we're doing with Iran.

22
00:01:22,000 --> 00:01:29,199
Speaker 3: Well, and again, Trump has marginalized the entire Ukrainian War

23
00:01:29,959 --> 00:01:34,080
Speaker 3: and he's had a very very difficult time dealing with

24
00:01:34,160 --> 00:01:40,680
Speaker 3: the leadership in Ukraine, and Zelensky has been essentially out

25
00:01:40,720 --> 00:01:45,720
Speaker 3: of the spotlight, which he's been complaining about. The Europeans

26
00:01:45,720 --> 00:01:48,640
Speaker 3: continues to support Zelenski in the war, but I think

27
00:01:48,680 --> 00:01:52,960
Speaker 3: President Trump has soured on Ukraine and it's unwillingness to

28
00:01:53,040 --> 00:01:57,240
Speaker 3: stop the fighting. And Russia continues to make games, but

29
00:01:57,360 --> 00:01:59,760
Speaker 3: it's not being very much reported in the present the

30
00:01:59,800 --> 00:02:01,960
Speaker 3: day as Iran dominates the news.

31
00:02:02,480 --> 00:02:04,200
Speaker 2: And later on I'm going to ask you about the

32
00:02:04,320 --> 00:02:07,640
Speaker 2: Cuba jury, because the President's got his eyes on that.

33
00:02:08,080 --> 00:02:11,840
Speaker 2: Most polls about the Iranian situation are about fifty to fifty,

34
00:02:12,360 --> 00:02:15,239
Speaker 2: but the majority of the people do believe Iran is

35
00:02:15,280 --> 00:02:17,160
Speaker 2: a threat. What's your take on that.

36
00:02:17,680 --> 00:02:21,760
Speaker 3: Well, I've written against Iran for twenty over twenty years,

37
00:02:21,800 --> 00:02:26,120
Speaker 3: and that you cannot let a regime with this Shihite

38
00:02:26,800 --> 00:02:32,600
Speaker 3: religious preoccupation with the Madi, this figure who is a

39
00:02:32,880 --> 00:02:37,639
Speaker 3: former head of a family of the prophet Muhammad who

40
00:02:37,639 --> 00:02:41,000
Speaker 3: went down the well hundreds of years ago into hiding,

41
00:02:41,040 --> 00:02:44,440
Speaker 3: and Shiaid Islam believes that when the Mahdi comes out

42
00:02:44,440 --> 00:02:47,680
Speaker 3: of the well, there will be an international apocalypse and

43
00:02:47,760 --> 00:02:51,640
Speaker 3: Shihited Islam will triumph over Sunni Islam and all other religions.

44
00:02:52,600 --> 00:02:58,840
Speaker 3: So the fundamental religious belief of the iradical Shihites is

45
00:02:58,880 --> 00:03:05,720
Speaker 3: a revolutionary, a plea wanting an apocalypse to occur worldwide

46
00:03:05,800 --> 00:03:11,400
Speaker 3: nuclear exchange. If that's their end time's vision, it's a

47
00:03:11,480 --> 00:03:15,280
Speaker 3: very dangerous group to allow to have nuclear weapons.

48
00:03:15,880 --> 00:03:18,160
Speaker 2: The Shaw of Iran was not a boy scout, but

49
00:03:18,240 --> 00:03:20,840
Speaker 2: how did he lose control back in the seventies.

50
00:03:20,919 --> 00:03:24,560
Speaker 3: What happened well when Iitola Kumane came out of France

51
00:03:24,639 --> 00:03:29,240
Speaker 3: and returned to Iran with the revolution. President Jimmy Carter

52
00:03:29,760 --> 00:03:34,600
Speaker 3: initially supported Iatola Kumene and he refused to allow the

53
00:03:34,639 --> 00:03:38,520
Speaker 3: Shaw of Iran to get exile in the United States.

54
00:03:39,520 --> 00:03:44,480
Speaker 3: Of course, that changed when the Iranian radical supporting Komanee

55
00:03:44,760 --> 00:03:49,880
Speaker 3: the Iranian Revolution, took American hostages from the American embassy

56
00:03:49,880 --> 00:03:52,560
Speaker 3: and held them for four hundred and forty four days.

57
00:03:53,000 --> 00:03:57,480
Speaker 3: They were only released the day Ronald Reagan was inaugurated.

58
00:03:57,800 --> 00:03:59,920
Speaker 3: And I believe that the Iranian crisis was one of

59
00:03:59,880 --> 00:04:02,680
Speaker 3: the main reasons why Jimmy Carter lost the presidency to

60
00:04:02,760 --> 00:04:06,960
Speaker 3: Ronald Reagan and showed the weakness of his regime. We

61
00:04:07,000 --> 00:04:10,240
Speaker 3: had that horrific if you remember, attempt to rescue the

62
00:04:10,240 --> 00:04:17,479
Speaker 3: hostages with an air attack, helicopters that crashed in the desert,

63
00:04:18,160 --> 00:04:21,520
Speaker 3: unable to deal with the desert winds and dust, and

64
00:04:21,640 --> 00:04:26,560
Speaker 3: Jimmy Carter was really a failure to you know, to

65
00:04:27,200 --> 00:04:29,760
Speaker 3: aid the people of Iran. I think he was a

66
00:04:29,800 --> 00:04:32,920
Speaker 3: major reason why we had the problem of the Iranian

67
00:04:32,960 --> 00:04:34,040
Speaker 3: revolution to begin with.

68
00:04:35,640 --> 00:04:38,120
Speaker 2: I had a chance to get to know Rocky Sickman,

69
00:04:38,200 --> 00:04:42,320
Speaker 2: who was from Saint Louis, who was one of the

70
00:04:42,480 --> 00:04:45,200
Speaker 2: military hostages in the Iranian takeover.

71
00:04:47,040 --> 00:04:49,440
Speaker 3: Well, and there was movies done on it. I mean,

72
00:04:49,520 --> 00:04:54,400
Speaker 3: that was a horrendous ordeal of some of the Some

73
00:04:54,480 --> 00:04:57,839
Speaker 3: of the embassy personnel went into hiding and managed to

74
00:04:58,000 --> 00:05:01,640
Speaker 3: escape out of Iran, but four hundred and forty four

75
00:05:01,680 --> 00:05:04,400
Speaker 3: days in captivity and President Carger could do nothing to

76
00:05:04,440 --> 00:05:07,000
Speaker 3: get them freed. It was one of the low points

77
00:05:07,000 --> 00:05:09,440
Speaker 3: of the American presidency in recent times.

78
00:05:10,400 --> 00:05:14,760
Speaker 2: It was an unbelievable takeover. I'm still astounded that we

79
00:05:14,880 --> 00:05:15,719
Speaker 2: let that happen.

80
00:05:16,560 --> 00:05:18,880
Speaker 3: I am too, and it was a really real setback

81
00:05:18,960 --> 00:05:22,520
Speaker 3: to the world because we've been dealing with the terrorism

82
00:05:22,600 --> 00:05:27,039
Speaker 3: that Iran has funded throughout the Middle East, including Hamas

83
00:05:27,120 --> 00:05:31,200
Speaker 3: in Gaza, Hasba and Lebanon, the Huti rebels and Yemen

84
00:05:31,279 --> 00:05:36,240
Speaker 3: and Yevien. It's you know, the terrorism we've seen since

85
00:05:36,279 --> 00:05:40,560
Speaker 3: the nineteen seventy nine revolution in Iran has been centered

86
00:05:40,640 --> 00:05:46,480
Speaker 3: in Tehran, and the attack against Tehran, I think is

87
00:05:46,560 --> 00:05:50,120
Speaker 3: a reversal going back to the presidency of Jimmy Carter,

88
00:05:50,839 --> 00:05:54,159
Speaker 3: where we are really striking a blow against the heart

89
00:05:54,520 --> 00:05:56,960
Speaker 3: of international radical Islamic terrorism.

90
00:05:57,600 --> 00:06:01,560
Speaker 2: The current president of Iran apparently apologize for attacking some

91
00:06:01,640 --> 00:06:06,360
Speaker 2: of the Arab states, but they continue to do that I.

92
00:06:06,360 --> 00:06:09,640
Speaker 3: Know, to me almost to a signal why Iran would

93
00:06:09,720 --> 00:06:16,040
Speaker 3: be going against sending missiles against Saudi Arabia, the UAE Cutter, Bahrain,

94
00:06:16,480 --> 00:06:21,839
Speaker 3: Oman and these retaliatory strikes. I mean, I think President Trump,

95
00:06:21,880 --> 00:06:26,680
Speaker 3: with the Abraham Accords, has struck a real change in

96
00:06:26,720 --> 00:06:30,560
Speaker 3: the Middle East where the Muslim states are deciding that

97
00:06:30,600 --> 00:06:33,720
Speaker 3: they can live with Israel as a Jewish state and

98
00:06:33,760 --> 00:06:39,839
Speaker 3: that to Tehran would be anathema, and it has risen

99
00:06:40,000 --> 00:06:45,599
Speaker 3: their enthusiasm and support groups like Hamas, which led to

100
00:06:45,600 --> 00:06:49,600
Speaker 3: the October attack, which was really the beginning of the

101
00:06:49,680 --> 00:06:54,920
Speaker 3: Israeli and US retaliation against radical Islam that renownciing, culminating

102
00:06:54,960 --> 00:06:55,800
Speaker 3: in the war in Iran.

103
00:06:56,680 --> 00:06:59,320
Speaker 2: Iran said today that if we commit US troops to

104
00:06:59,480 --> 00:07:04,119
Speaker 2: Iranian ground, it's going to be like Vietnam all over again.

105
00:07:04,200 --> 00:07:05,000
Speaker 2: What do you think of that.

106
00:07:05,720 --> 00:07:09,520
Speaker 3: Well, we're sending a whole group of marines, of very

107
00:07:09,560 --> 00:07:13,600
Speaker 3: mobile marines, over to the Middle East, and President Trump

108
00:07:13,600 --> 00:07:18,600
Speaker 3: has said he wants to seize whatever enriched uranium Iran

109
00:07:18,720 --> 00:07:23,920
Speaker 3: yet has I can see a limited ground invasion may occur,

110
00:07:24,000 --> 00:07:26,400
Speaker 3: but I think President Trump will be hesitant to do it,

111
00:07:27,000 --> 00:07:31,720
Speaker 3: and I doubt if it will progress into a warlike Vietnam.

112
00:07:31,840 --> 00:07:35,000
Speaker 3: I don't see we're going to commit endless troops and

113
00:07:35,080 --> 00:07:38,480
Speaker 3: I have a draft or anything of that nature. Any

114
00:07:38,840 --> 00:07:42,760
Speaker 3: ground invasion I think would have very limited purposes, more

115
00:07:42,800 --> 00:07:45,040
Speaker 3: like what happened in Venezuela, Jerry.

116
00:07:45,040 --> 00:07:48,320
Speaker 2: How many Iranians were killed when they started protesting against

117
00:07:48,360 --> 00:07:49,400
Speaker 2: the government.

118
00:07:49,040 --> 00:07:54,800
Speaker 3: There, stemitzer as high as forty thousand, and it's just

119
00:07:55,040 --> 00:07:59,240
Speaker 3: tragic because these are people who were ordinary citizens in

120
00:07:59,320 --> 00:08:03,960
Speaker 3: the streets fighting for their freedom. And the Iranians have

121
00:08:04,440 --> 00:08:10,920
Speaker 3: always in these uprisings been vicious in attacking their own population,

122
00:08:11,880 --> 00:08:16,920
Speaker 3: killing people, imprisoning them, people disappear. It's just brute force

123
00:08:17,000 --> 00:08:18,600
Speaker 3: that it has kept this regime in power.

124
00:08:19,640 --> 00:08:20,800
Speaker 4: And I know you're going to want some them after

125
00:08:20,840 --> 00:08:23,239
Speaker 4: hearing this. This is an amazing story. We've got Stephen

126
00:08:23,400 --> 00:08:27,640
Speaker 4: and Malachi Gregory in Nelson, New Zealand. Now I understand

127
00:08:27,680 --> 00:08:30,480
Speaker 4: that Malachi, who is eight almost nine years old now,

128
00:08:31,040 --> 00:08:33,800
Speaker 4: was suffering with not just one or two warts, but

129
00:08:33,840 --> 00:08:36,679
Speaker 4: I mean as significant outbreak of warts all over his body,

130
00:08:36,720 --> 00:08:39,920
Speaker 4: so significant it impacted his ability to really function.

131
00:08:40,440 --> 00:08:40,720
Speaker 5: Yeah.

132
00:08:40,840 --> 00:08:43,240
Speaker 6: Yeah, he was having trouble even holding a pencil to

133
00:08:43,320 --> 00:08:44,840
Speaker 6: right TIS book.

134
00:08:44,840 --> 00:08:46,680
Speaker 5: Actually that got me thinking about it.

135
00:08:46,720 --> 00:08:47,520
Speaker 1: I'm not surprised.

136
00:08:47,720 --> 00:08:50,960
Speaker 6: It is an amazing immunomodulator, and so I can see

137
00:08:50,960 --> 00:08:51,760
Speaker 6: that it would work.

138
00:08:52,440 --> 00:08:55,000
Speaker 4: And so at what point did you see that there

139
00:08:55,080 --> 00:08:57,320
Speaker 4: was actually improvement it's really going to work.

140
00:08:57,520 --> 00:08:59,959
Speaker 6: Well, look, we really started to notice it around twelve weeks.

141
00:09:00,760 --> 00:09:04,400
Speaker 6: You can see these things actually getting smaller and smaller

142
00:09:04,440 --> 00:09:07,400
Speaker 6: and then going down to the with just little red monks.

143
00:09:07,440 --> 00:09:09,640
Speaker 6: The whole things are gone, and we're talking about what's

144
00:09:09,720 --> 00:09:12,040
Speaker 6: you know one the size for Warner. I thought, no way,

145
00:09:12,120 --> 00:09:15,560
Speaker 6: that's gonna Wow. That's just been miraculous to see them

146
00:09:15,600 --> 00:09:16,720
Speaker 6: get into a pair of shoes.

147
00:09:17,000 --> 00:09:18,920
Speaker 1: Yes, how wonderful.

148
00:09:19,080 --> 00:09:21,160
Speaker 5: It's great to see. I'm so happy and yees.

149
00:09:21,040 --> 00:09:22,800

00:09:53,840 --> 00:09:56,600
Speaker 3: So far, they haven't been activated in any great number.

161
00:09:56,679 --> 00:10:01,080
Speaker 3: I think these various attacks that we've had, that various

162
00:10:01,160 --> 00:10:06,720
Speaker 3: Muslim attacks on synagogues, et cetera, are indications of sleeper

163
00:10:06,760 --> 00:10:10,920
Speaker 3: cell activity, but I think it was exaggerated. I concerned

164
00:10:10,960 --> 00:10:14,560
Speaker 3: that sleeper celles would be in any massive quantity here

165
00:10:14,559 --> 00:10:18,040
Speaker 3: that could be activated to launch terror attacks in the

166
00:10:18,120 --> 00:10:21,040
Speaker 3: United States. So far, it has not happened, and I'm

167
00:10:21,040 --> 00:10:23,120
Speaker 3: not particularly concerned that it will happen.

168
00:10:23,800 --> 00:10:25,920
Speaker 2: I would guess if they had a vote in Iran.

169
00:10:26,240 --> 00:10:30,599
Speaker 2: In Iran, most of the citizens want a regime change.

170
00:10:31,160 --> 00:10:34,160
Speaker 3: I have no doubt you're correct, George. And that's been

171
00:10:34,200 --> 00:10:38,160
Speaker 3: the case since at least two thousand and five when

172
00:10:38,200 --> 00:10:40,760
Speaker 3: I wrote Atomic Iran. I've written three books in Iran.

173
00:10:41,440 --> 00:10:45,280
Speaker 3: I've worked extensively internationally with the people of Iran, and

174
00:10:45,320 --> 00:10:48,040
Speaker 3: I can tell you the people of Iran who managed

175
00:10:48,080 --> 00:10:50,839
Speaker 3: to escape want freedom for their country and want to

176
00:10:50,880 --> 00:10:52,280
Speaker 3: see this regime gone.

177
00:10:53,960 --> 00:10:56,440
Speaker 2: And in terms of this regime, what happens if it

178
00:10:56,480 --> 00:10:58,760
Speaker 2: doesn't fall apart, what's the next step.

179
00:10:59,559 --> 00:11:02,920
Speaker 3: Imagine that President Trump is going to allow the regime

180
00:11:03,000 --> 00:11:07,000
Speaker 3: to stay once you you know, the President Trump has

181
00:11:07,040 --> 00:11:10,439
Speaker 3: said repeatedly he does not want to simply let things

182
00:11:10,520 --> 00:11:14,280
Speaker 3: go back to status quo. In Israel, they call it

183
00:11:14,320 --> 00:11:17,200
Speaker 3: like mowing the grass. Like you have an attack and

184
00:11:17,240 --> 00:11:21,600
Speaker 3: you push back the Muslim terrorists Hesbalah and Lebanon, and

185
00:11:21,640 --> 00:11:24,679
Speaker 3: then you stop the incursion into Lebanon and and he

186
00:11:26,240 --> 00:11:29,240
Speaker 3: has a resurgence. It's the same with the Gaza. There's

187
00:11:29,360 --> 00:11:33,640
Speaker 3: concerned that if the Palestinian authority returns, a monster returns,

188
00:11:34,160 --> 00:11:37,320
Speaker 3: and we just repeat the terrorist cycle. I think President

189
00:11:37,360 --> 00:11:40,439
Speaker 3: Trump wants to have a real change to put an

190
00:11:40,600 --> 00:11:43,280
Speaker 3: end to this radical Islamic terrorism, and that's what this

191
00:11:43,320 --> 00:11:44,559
Speaker 3: war is really about.

192
00:11:44,920 --> 00:11:48,760
Speaker 2: I had heard that during the initial bombing the former president.

193
00:11:50,240 --> 00:11:50,840
Speaker 3: Got killed.

194
00:11:50,920 --> 00:11:51,480
Speaker 2: Is that true?

195
00:11:52,080 --> 00:11:55,880
Speaker 3: I heard that too, and he certainly has disappeared. So yeah.

196
00:11:55,960 --> 00:11:59,439
Speaker 3: Of course, Amad was famous for a speech he gave

197
00:11:59,480 --> 00:12:02,360
Speaker 3: with the United Nations when he was President of Iran

198
00:12:02,960 --> 00:12:06,000
Speaker 3: talking about the Mahdi, talking about the return of the Mahdi,

199
00:12:06,520 --> 00:12:10,119
Speaker 3: the apocalypse that will cause She idea is Long to triumph.

200
00:12:10,960 --> 00:12:15,040
Speaker 3: In this apocalypse, worldwide apocalypse. She ide Islam will conquer

201
00:12:15,160 --> 00:12:21,360
Speaker 3: all other religions. It's a mad kind of messianic, destructive religion,

202
00:12:22,040 --> 00:12:24,600
Speaker 3: and certainly people who aspire to it should not be

203
00:12:24,640 --> 00:12:26,040
Speaker 3: allowed to have nuclear weapons.

204
00:12:26,320 --> 00:12:29,080
Speaker 2: Why can't these countries just have peace with Israel and

205
00:12:29,160 --> 00:12:29,600
Speaker 2: make it.

206
00:12:29,559 --> 00:12:32,559
Speaker 3: Work, well, I think, George, that's the future. I think

207
00:12:32,600 --> 00:12:38,000
Speaker 3: the only solution in the Middle East is peace with prosperity.

208
00:12:38,160 --> 00:12:41,319
Speaker 3: I think the only if we could have economic prosperity,

209
00:12:41,920 --> 00:12:44,680
Speaker 3: and certainly Israel could work with the other nations in

210
00:12:44,720 --> 00:12:48,800
Speaker 3: the Middle East to encourage economic prosperity. That's the whole

211
00:12:49,320 --> 00:12:52,720
Speaker 3: spirit behind the Abraham Accords. And I remain hopeful that

212
00:12:53,160 --> 00:12:57,840
Speaker 3: we can return to the Abraham Accords taking root across

213
00:12:57,920 --> 00:13:01,080
Speaker 3: the Middle East and put an end to this determination

214
00:13:01,200 --> 00:13:05,120
Speaker 3: to end the state of Israel, have an accommodation with Israel,

215
00:13:05,120 --> 00:13:08,839
Speaker 3: and we could have a whole generation of peace and

216
00:13:08,920 --> 00:13:12,000
Speaker 3: flourishing of economic activity in the Middle East.

217
00:13:12,559 --> 00:13:15,439
Speaker 2: Doctor Jerome Corsi's website is linked up at Coast to

218
00:13:15,480 --> 00:13:17,920
Speaker 2: coastam dot com. We're going to take calls with him

219
00:13:17,960 --> 00:13:20,440
Speaker 2: next hour on Coast to Coast, So chime in and

220
00:13:20,440 --> 00:13:24,880
Speaker 2: get on this major story. Jerry Cuba today had a

221
00:13:24,880 --> 00:13:29,319
Speaker 2: blackout that wiped out the entire country. We've been warning

222
00:13:29,360 --> 00:13:33,080
Speaker 2: our power grid system for years now. They still don't

223
00:13:33,120 --> 00:13:36,280
Speaker 2: know what happened there. But the President wants Cuba, doesn't he.

224
00:13:36,920 --> 00:13:40,360
Speaker 3: Yes, President wants the communism out of Cuba. And I

225
00:13:40,360 --> 00:13:44,880
Speaker 3: think President Trump has articulated a vision that our security,

226
00:13:45,360 --> 00:13:49,400
Speaker 3: national security has to be western hemisphere, from the Arctic

227
00:13:49,480 --> 00:13:53,440
Speaker 3: to the Antarctic. Venezuela was first. I think President Trump

228
00:13:53,480 --> 00:13:58,800
Speaker 3: has targeted to eliminate communism from Cuba. They also got

229
00:13:58,800 --> 00:14:02,200
Speaker 3: in sites on Columbia and other countries which have had

230
00:14:02,240 --> 00:14:06,520
Speaker 3: communist revolutions, and President Trump wants to see freedom and

231
00:14:06,600 --> 00:14:11,079
Speaker 3: an American supremacy throughout the Western hemisphere. I believe that

232
00:14:11,080 --> 00:14:15,000
Speaker 3: that's going to be a future of a three power world,

233
00:14:15,120 --> 00:14:18,440
Speaker 3: which we're going to have to coexist with Russia and China,

234
00:14:18,640 --> 00:14:20,480
Speaker 3: each of which is going to have their own sphere

235
00:14:20,480 --> 00:14:23,280
Speaker 3: of influence. Ours is going to be the Western hemisphere.

236
00:14:23,520 --> 00:14:26,880
Speaker 2: Though Batista, who was the leader before Castro took over,

237
00:14:27,160 --> 00:14:30,560
Speaker 2: was friendly to the United States. He was also friendly

238
00:14:30,600 --> 00:14:34,000
Speaker 2: with the mob and things like that. He wasn't the

239
00:14:34,040 --> 00:14:37,280
Speaker 2: greatest guy in the world. But how did Fidel Castro

240
00:14:37,400 --> 00:14:39,600
Speaker 2: take over? How did they do their thing?

241
00:14:40,640 --> 00:14:44,360
Speaker 3: It was a populist revolution, And if you remember, George,

242
00:14:44,400 --> 00:14:47,800
Speaker 3: I remember the time very distinctly. When Castro first took over,

243
00:14:48,600 --> 00:14:51,120
Speaker 3: it was not clear that he was a Communist.

244
00:14:51,760 --> 00:14:53,760
Speaker 2: In fact, he turned to West for help.

245
00:14:54,240 --> 00:14:55,920
Speaker 3: Yes, he came to the United States for help. I

246
00:14:55,960 --> 00:14:59,080
Speaker 3: mean Castro actually tried out for an American baseball team.

247
00:15:00,120 --> 00:15:04,800
Speaker 3: That's very little known. But he was not anti American

248
00:15:05,640 --> 00:15:10,680
Speaker 3: until really Richard Nixon targeted Castro and really pushed him

249
00:15:10,720 --> 00:15:13,680
Speaker 3: closer to Khrushchev and the Soviet Union.

250
00:15:14,920 --> 00:15:17,720
Speaker 2: His brother Raoul, who was part of that revolution, is

251
00:15:17,760 --> 00:15:18,400
Speaker 2: still alive.

252
00:15:19,440 --> 00:15:25,760
Speaker 3: That's right, and you've had a whole succession. The current

253
00:15:25,880 --> 00:15:29,400
Speaker 3: leaders are tied to the revolution, but I don't think

254
00:15:29,400 --> 00:15:33,440
Speaker 3: they're the radical communists that we've had yet. Cuba is

255
00:15:33,760 --> 00:15:37,080
Speaker 3: really in another century. I mean back in the nineteen fifties,

256
00:15:37,720 --> 00:15:43,800
Speaker 3: old automobiles, really economic oppression. Cuba needs a revival again

257
00:15:44,000 --> 00:15:48,440
Speaker 3: economic where if they renounce communism, I believe they can

258
00:15:48,520 --> 00:15:54,160
Speaker 3: have prosperity in Cuba. That would be a true refreshment

259
00:15:54,200 --> 00:15:56,680
Speaker 3: for the people who lived there, and the people who

260
00:15:56,720 --> 00:16:00,120
Speaker 3: have escaped would be able to reunite with families. I

261
00:16:00,120 --> 00:16:01,920
Speaker 3: think it would be a blessing if it happened.

262
00:16:02,120 --> 00:16:04,520
Speaker 2: Why have we stopped the flow of oil to Cuba.

263
00:16:05,240 --> 00:16:08,000
Speaker 3: Well, I think President Trump is really putting the pressure

264
00:16:08,040 --> 00:16:13,040
Speaker 3: on Cuba and really increasingly ratcheting up the economic pressure

265
00:16:13,160 --> 00:16:16,720
Speaker 3: so that Cuba will negotiate with us and hopefully just

266
00:16:16,840 --> 00:16:21,440
Speaker 3: renounce communism. I do think it could happen, but again,

267
00:16:21,680 --> 00:16:26,800
Speaker 3: the economic pressures, including in Cuba and in Iran, I

268
00:16:26,800 --> 00:16:30,560
Speaker 3: think you're going to be determinative of how these conflicts end.
