Speaker 1: Up next, The Truth with Lisa both part of the
Speaker 1: gang which freedom is slipping away in America. The country
Speaker 1: we once loved is being taken over by communist ideals.
Speaker 1: The indoctrination is happening in our schools, the military, the government,
Speaker 1: and even corporate America. The notion that America is somehow
Speaker 1: inherently evil, that it's racist, that it's oppressive, has now
Speaker 1: become mainstream for the left. But this country is worth
Speaker 1: fighting for. Freedom is worth fighting for, and we will
Speaker 1: continue doing that on The Truth with Lisa Booth. Yeah,
Speaker 1: welcome back to The Truth with Lisa Booth. If you
Speaker 1: have been listening to the show for the past few months,
Speaker 1: you know that I am extremely concerned about the direction
Speaker 1: or country as heading. Over the past few months, we
Speaker 1: have all seen left as politicians act like totalitarian dictators,
Speaker 1: locking down cities, shutting down businesses, denying you the opportunity
Speaker 1: to worship, denying kids the opportunity to go to school,
Speaker 1: telling us how to live our lives. And that comes
Speaker 1: at a time when censorship in America is also on
Speaker 1: the rise. Corporations are trying to bully conservative states into submission,
Speaker 1: adopting the policies of the left, adopting the narratives of
Speaker 1: the left, while Democrats and Congress and the White House
Speaker 1: are trying to establish one party rule through packing the
Speaker 1: Supreme Court, nationalizing our elections, and adding liberal senators through statehood.
Speaker 1: You also have Democrat media figures talking about deep programming
Speaker 1: Trump supporters over seventy four million people. That's the same
Speaker 1: language that Communist Party of China uses about the Muslim
Speaker 1: weaker population which they're committing genocide against. You might be
Speaker 1: listening and say that sounds kind of extreme, but here's
Speaker 1: the point. Freedom isn't inherent in a country. It has
Speaker 1: to be fought for, it has to be protected, it
Speaker 1: has to be preserved, you have to want it as
Speaker 1: a nation. So when I was thinking about all these
Speaker 1: concerns that honestly come to mind to me every single day,
Speaker 1: I'm constantly worried about the direction or country is heading,
Speaker 1: constantly feeling like communism is at our doorstep right here
Speaker 1: in America. So, in thinking about all this and thinking
Speaker 1: about who to have on the show, was a guest
Speaker 1: Maximo of Aris came to mind. You all at home
Speaker 1: might remember him from the Republican National Convention, and he
Speaker 1: gave an incredibly emotional speech talking about his journey, talking
Speaker 1: about escaping, fleeing communist Cuba and coming to America at
Speaker 1: age thirteen. He has had a tremendously successful career in
Speaker 1: the oil industry. He is the founder and heads Sunshine Gasoline.
Speaker 1: So he is the epitome of the American dream. And
Speaker 1: if there is anyone who knows how quickly a country
Speaker 1: can lose its freedom, it's Maximo. So that's a going
Speaker 1: to talk to him about today. Maximo, thanks so much
Speaker 1: for coming on the Truth with Lisa Booth. It's such
Speaker 1: an honor to talk to you today about freedom. And
Speaker 1: we're also neighbors. So I just actually just like left
Speaker 1: New York City to to move to Florida for the
Speaker 1: primary reason of wanting to come to a free state. Welcome,
Speaker 1: thank you, thank you, sir. I'm in Miami. I love
Speaker 1: it so Maximo. At the RNC convention, you know, you
Speaker 1: talked about your story. You fled Cuba at the age
Speaker 1: of thirteen as part of Operation Pedro Pan. What do
Speaker 1: you remember about Cuba? Well, I remember what's really lee
Speaker 1: about Cuba, and a lot of the things that you
Speaker 1: know amazes me. People did not know that Cuba in
Speaker 1: the fifties was pretty much another state of our great
Speaker 1: United States of America. Um, we're an independent country, of course,
Speaker 1: but we enjoyed the same standard of living. Our currency
Speaker 1: was at the same value of the American dollar. S
Speaker 1: a matter of fact, the Cuban pesol circulated as much
Speaker 1: as the dollar. We had all of the benefits that
Speaker 1: you have in the United States. Just to give you
Speaker 1: an idea, when General Motors would put out the cars
Speaker 1: to the market, let's say, let's say in October or September,
Speaker 1: a month before they were already sent to Cuba, where
Speaker 1: a lot of American people will go to Cuba by
Speaker 1: an automobile right around, send it in the ferry, and
Speaker 1: not pay the taxes. So you could buy a Chevrolet
Speaker 1: or the Forward for any vehicle just about for the
Speaker 1: less that you could buy in the United States, because
Speaker 1: you say the taxes. Cuba was what it is at
Speaker 1: the time in the fifties, similar to what it is
Speaker 1: Las Vegas today. People tourism flourished, people went there to
Speaker 1: have a good time. As a matter of fact, you
Speaker 1: could just you know, fly to Cuba and less than
Speaker 1: an hour goal and stay the weekend in hotels just
Speaker 1: as luxurious as the ones in Miami and the ones
Speaker 1: in New York. So that's the cue that I remember.
Speaker 1: I also remember our education, which he was really impacted.
Speaker 1: And this is the biggest impact that we had when
Speaker 1: we lost our country. I remember how my mom, when
Speaker 1: I didn't behave, used to threaten me that if I
Speaker 1: didn't behave the next day, I would not be allowed
Speaker 1: to go to school. That was instant. Be goes. Oh
Speaker 1: my lord, I couldn't miss school. As a matter of fact,
Speaker 1: I don't remember what ever missing school one day. I
Speaker 1: remember going to school when I had a fever and
Speaker 1: we had a stomach ache. I wouldn't tell my mom
Speaker 1: because I was afraid I was going to be left
Speaker 1: at home. And that is the things that we remember
Speaker 1: that all of a sudden, from one day to the next,
Speaker 1: everything changed. My school was confiscated, all the private property
Speaker 1: was taken away. People were getting killed against a wall.
Speaker 1: They were running trials in mass trials because they didn't
Speaker 1: have enough time in the day to execute people. So
Speaker 1: you go to trial at nine o'clock in the morning,
Speaker 1: you get convicted at ten eleven o'clock. You against the wall.
Speaker 1: No appeals, nothing, our system was pretty much the same
Speaker 1: as the one we have here in the United States,
Speaker 1: and all of a sudden that change. I remember crying
Speaker 1: and being upset because as Castle takes over, my friends
Speaker 1: were marching in the streets. Did you and our revolutionary kids?
Speaker 1: A mom and that wouldn't let me do that? And
Speaker 1: I remember I said, I want to be with my friends.
Speaker 1: These are my neighbors. This is the same kids to
Speaker 1: go to my school. Thank god Mom and Dad knew
Speaker 1: because they understood communism because many years before they migrated
Speaker 1: to Cure running away from Spain. So I have that
Speaker 1: in my blood because not only I learned from Mom
Speaker 1: and dad, which when you're young, you don't seem to
Speaker 1: pay much attention to that, but then it happened to
Speaker 1: me also it happened to them, and it happened to
Speaker 1: everybody who's ever come to this country looking for one thing,
Speaker 1: which is called freedom. And you know why I'm so
Speaker 1: sad today because I saw this coming. I not only
Speaker 1: said it in that speech at the convention, what I've
Speaker 1: been saying this before. I started saying that when all
Speaker 1: of a sudden we had a low passing us in
Speaker 1: our country, that you couldn't say the prayer in school.
Speaker 1: That's the beginning, that's how they do. I saw it
Speaker 1: when when you will be offended because you were called
Speaker 1: a name. I saw it when when you have to
Speaker 1: be politically correct. I saw these things coming and every
Speaker 1: time there's a shooting, how they want to take your
Speaker 1: guns away. I saw it when when even the Catholic
Speaker 1: people say nothing against abortion. This is something that really
Speaker 1: hurts because very few people, I for one, who had
Speaker 1: never imagined that this country would be vulnerable to communism.
Speaker 1: But long before, if you go back in history and
Speaker 1: you hear the speech that Nikita Kruschev said. I think
Speaker 1: it was nineteen at the United Nations. By the way,
Speaker 1: Nikita Kruschev, for those of you who may not know,
Speaker 1: it's the equivalent of putting today in Russia. And he
Speaker 1: had visited Fidel Castro in Cuba, and then he went
Speaker 1: and made a speech the United Nations. And in that
Speaker 1: speech she says, one day the United States of America
Speaker 1: will the communist and we will not even have a war.
Speaker 1: We will infiltrade, their education will infiltrade, or society will
Speaker 1: infiltrade their their their youth. And I want to play
Speaker 1: this clip for the audience from your RNC convention, and
Speaker 1: then UM, I want to ask you a question after it.
Speaker 1: Let's play this. I have seen people like this before.
Speaker 1: I've seen movements like this before. I've seen ideas like
Speaker 1: this before, and I am here to tell you we
Speaker 1: cannot let them take over our country. I heard the
Speaker 1: promises of Thede or Castro, and I can never forget
Speaker 1: all those who grew up around me, who looked like me,
Speaker 1: who suffered and starved and died because they believe those
Speaker 1: empty promises. They swallow the communist poison pill. Sir. You know,
Speaker 1: as we were listen saying too earlier, you're talking about
Speaker 1: communism coming to here on the American soil. As we
Speaker 1: just heard or RNC convention, you had talked about how
Speaker 1: people in Cuba had swallowed the communist poison pill. Have
Speaker 1: Americans swallowed the communist poison pill? Not only they have swallowed,
Speaker 1: they digesting it. Listen to the media. They're no longer objective.
Speaker 1: You can tell how much they hate this country. Look
Speaker 1: at our our academia. Our kids are not being didn't doctrinated.
Speaker 1: They are taught that Americans are bad country. There were
Speaker 1: a bunch of racists, that we're bad people and would
Speaker 1: have to pay back. If this country was racist, I
Speaker 1: wouldn't be here. If this country was a racist country,
Speaker 1: most of us willn't be here because even some people
Speaker 1: in your family came from another country. This country was
Speaker 1: made of immigrants. That we have racist people in this country,
Speaker 1: of course we do. Do we have bad people, yes
Speaker 1: we do. Do we have bad teachers, yes we do.
Speaker 1: Do we have bad police people, yes we do. But
Speaker 1: don't bling in the country for that, because we have
Speaker 1: a justice system that will penalize you and punish you
Speaker 1: if you are a bad person, if you are a racist.
Speaker 1: But don't don't make our children believe that we have
Speaker 1: to pay back because America is a bad country. And
Speaker 1: this is what is so sad. Whenever we make a donation,
Speaker 1: most people who make donations try to find out where
Speaker 1: is that money going, who are you helping, What is
Speaker 1: the American Cancer Society, or whether it's your church, or
Speaker 1: whether it's a politician you have, how much money they're
Speaker 1: sending into Black lives matter? And people want to understand
Speaker 1: that this threat ladies to control this company. H are
Speaker 1: bragging about Marcist Leninism, Their communists they tell you that,
Speaker 1: and nobody understand what that means. And then you have
Speaker 1: people who are supposed to be role models to our
Speaker 1: kids who tell you, I'm afraid when I leave the
Speaker 1: house in the morning because I happened to be black. Really,
Speaker 1: are you afraid that you make in three million dollars
Speaker 1: in this racist country for shooting the basketball? Isn't that sad?
Speaker 1: And then when you have a black person to tell
Speaker 1: you a lien, this is our problem? Is ours? What
Speaker 1: is the thirteen year old kid doing out in the
Speaker 1: streets at two o'clock in the morning with a gun?
Speaker 1: Was mom and dad? The police officer didn't go there
Speaker 1: to kill that kid. The police officer went there because
Speaker 1: somebody called made a call in distress, m somebody who's
Speaker 1: being robbed or hurt, and the police officers were there.
Speaker 1: It just happens there was a bad police officer made
Speaker 1: a mistake. Okay, that's fine, But that kid is not
Speaker 1: a hero. That whole is not a hero. How can you,
Speaker 1: I dare you? How can you give somebody's family million
Speaker 1: dollars before the trial? How can you have the president
Speaker 1: of the country try to influence a trial. A congresswoman
Speaker 1: influence and trial. Just think about that. That is all communism.
Speaker 1: That's incredible. Maximum. Hold on just one second. We've got
Speaker 1: to get to a break and then we'll get right
Speaker 1: back to it. Obviously, an independent judicial system is key
Speaker 1: to a free country. You had talked a little bit
Speaker 1: about earlier, when you know Cuba had changed, that was
Speaker 1: something that was taken away, you know, as you're discussing now,
Speaker 1: I mean, we had people like Joe Biden Way in
Speaker 1: on the join George Floyd trial. We had people like
Speaker 1: Max and Waters Way and you even had the mayor
Speaker 1: of Minneapolis Way and all putting pressure obviously on the jury.
Speaker 1: Are we losing that independence for a judicial system in
Speaker 1: America right now? Just think of this. Okay, and again
Speaker 1: remember the communist manifesto. Okay, the end justify the means,
Speaker 1: so they'll do whatever it takes to get whatever they
Speaker 1: want because they're justified. Okay. So now I think right
Speaker 1: after the election, how many lawsuits were filed to try
Speaker 1: to prove that the election was not fair, that there
Speaker 1: was fraud committed, and this the lawsuits weren't even heard,
Speaker 1: they were not even the Supreme Court won't even here.
Speaker 1: And then you think these are normal in the United States.
Speaker 1: Could there be a possibility that some of these judges
Speaker 1: were threatened? Do you think it's possible for Mr Depstein
Speaker 1: to commit suicide in jail? Really? Is there any Is
Speaker 1: there any possibility that he may have been murdered? Because
Speaker 1: do you know how many people who have gone to jail?
Speaker 1: Is that guy testified? So do you don't think that
Speaker 1: they do that? You don't think that Castle killed the same,
Speaker 1: very same people that helped them. You know when when
Speaker 1: when when Castle takes over, there's a list of groups
Speaker 1: of families of persons and companies who helped him take
Speaker 1: over power American companies like A T and T and
Speaker 1: Coca Cola. Guess what happened to those companies? They were
Speaker 1: confiscated because once they take over, they don't want to
Speaker 1: be inbedded to anybody. Now, I hope you understand the
Speaker 1: thinking trying that I'm trying to tell you right now.
Speaker 1: Here is the problem. You know, you know that the
Speaker 1: justice system is compromised. You know that the FBI has
Speaker 1: been compromised, that the CIA has been compromised. When when
Speaker 1: a guy who heads the FBI says that he licks
Speaker 1: some information Mr Comy did and he's out free. Do
Speaker 1: you know there's something wrong when they try to impitch
Speaker 1: a president when they don't have any any evidence, and
Speaker 1: it goes all the way to the Senate. But yet
Speaker 1: these people that we have all kinds of evidence of
Speaker 1: all the crimes that they have committed, they don't even
Speaker 1: get called to a trial. You have to think things
Speaker 1: that were not imaginable, imaginable in our United States of
Speaker 1: America are happening now. You have never imagined that with
Speaker 1: the with the strike of a pencil, you take the
Speaker 1: walls down and you open the doors. By the way,
Speaker 1: are those people are opened the doors to their homes?
Speaker 1: They still have senses, don't we? But they're the ones then,
Speaker 1: the ones who just want anybody to come to this country.
Speaker 1: By the way, I'm a member of the Peter Pan group.
Speaker 1: So this is right after Cuba, after Castle took over
Speaker 1: this county of hours accepted fourteen thousand children. I was
Speaker 1: one of them that came to this country as a
Speaker 1: miner on accompanyed by ourselves. So we had a program
Speaker 1: called the Pedro Pan program. Okay, that was that was
Speaker 1: sponsored by Catholic Charities and the State Department. We came
Speaker 1: over here fourteen thousands. Everybody knew who we were. Everyone
Speaker 1: had a name, a mom and dad, a place of birth,
Speaker 1: we were fingerprinted, they knew exactly who we were. So
Speaker 1: in almost six years, this country accepted fourteen thou children.
Speaker 1: By the way, we have done very very well. I
Speaker 1: happened to be one of those, and I'm very proud
Speaker 1: of that. Now do you imagine that in the last
Speaker 1: ninety days we have over eighteen thousand on accompanied children
Speaker 1: and you don't even know who they are, and you
Speaker 1: know they're being smuggled, and you know this, this, this,
Speaker 1: this shouldn't have been abused, and nobody says anything that
Speaker 1: is a crime. Why do you think that, you know,
Speaker 1: people like President Biden are not as tough on illegal
Speaker 1: immigration as President Trump was. Why do you think that
Speaker 1: is President Biden? The poor guy. I pray for him
Speaker 1: all the time. But President Biden has no clue what
Speaker 1: he's doing. President Biden is ordering following orders from China.
Speaker 1: China has the world on its knees, believe me, not
Speaker 1: only United States, but almost the world. And that is
Speaker 1: communism because they wont one world order. They want one currency,
Speaker 1: they won one government, they won one of anything, and
Speaker 1: it just so happens. It just so happens that the
Speaker 1: Chinese are very disciplined, They're very intelligent, and they have
Speaker 1: a lot of money, and they knew, degreed on the
Speaker 1: selfishness of some of these people, and they bought them.
Speaker 1: The Bidens have been purchased, just like the Clintons and
Speaker 1: the Obama's and all these people. They have been purchased,
Speaker 1: and they don't care. They don't care about anybody but
Speaker 1: them selves. You mentioned China, and you had talked about
Speaker 1: the Black Lives Matter movement. Not obviously black lives, but
Speaker 1: Black Lives are movement Big BLM, a movement of Marxist organization.
Speaker 1: And one of the things that they believe is they
Speaker 1: don't believe in the nuclear family. And you look at
Speaker 1: China and one thing they do is they have the
Speaker 1: weaker population who's suffering a genocide, pledge of the children,
Speaker 1: pledge allegiance to the state. Why do communists want people
Speaker 1: to trust the state more than their family or their community.
Speaker 1: Number one, the communists know any better. They don't know
Speaker 1: any better, okay, because they're being indoctrinated. There are people
Speaker 1: in Qa today that we still give you a life
Speaker 1: of del castra Okay, uh, this is no different than
Speaker 1: than our Navy seals. These are no different system of
Speaker 1: our CIA people. You know, the people who you know,
Speaker 1: people who work in the Secret Service, they're willing to
Speaker 1: put their body in front of the person they're protecting.
Speaker 1: They suppose that that that's not normal. You really have
Speaker 1: to plain people mentally to be able to do that.
Speaker 1: So so these people don't know any better. And here
Speaker 1: is the problem that we have. Okay, our culture, it's
Speaker 1: based on Judeo Christian values. This is very simple. Okay.
Speaker 1: We cannot lie, we cannot kill, we cannot steal. We
Speaker 1: have to own one on that, and we have to
Speaker 1: have a god, etcetera, etcetera. And then we have to
Speaker 1: forgive because we are a forgiving society. We're forgiving culture.
Speaker 1: That's the way we learned. So what happens is we
Speaker 1: do not understand and we cannot figure it out that
Speaker 1: there's some bad people out there that take advantage of that,
Speaker 1: and they appeal to your emotions. Who who whoever saw
Speaker 1: a police officer with his name somebody's neck, I would
Speaker 1: feel horrible. This is really horrible and bad. However, they
Speaker 1: don't show you who is a person on the ground,
Speaker 1: What has he done? What's his life? Now, there's no
Speaker 1: excuse to kill somebody who's on the ground that there's
Speaker 1: no question about that. That's that's bad, that's wrong, and
Speaker 1: that's that is punishable. But don't make a hero or
Speaker 1: somebody who's a whole um. And then we accepted because
Speaker 1: we're Christians, because we have our faith that says you
Speaker 1: have to forgive. Communist people. Don't forgive. Communist people do
Speaker 1: whatever it takes to get their objective. They can lie,
Speaker 1: they can cheat you, they can kill you. It's okay,
Speaker 1: they justify. And this is what American people, people in
Speaker 1: the world who have the same values that most of
Speaker 1: us have, do not understand. And this is what has
Speaker 1: happened in this country. And this is what has happened
Speaker 1: in this country. I remember President Trump saying this country
Speaker 1: will never be socialists, and I started shaking my head.
Speaker 1: I said, do you understand we already socialist even infiltrated
Speaker 1: the Catholic Church. They've infiltrated the Congress, didn't federate the
Speaker 1: White House. What do you mean that they cannot be
Speaker 1: because it's a slow process. And and and again, because
Speaker 1: we are very forgiving people because of our values, we
Speaker 1: always become accepted. And then we then realize we allow
Speaker 1: these people to use a very constitution that gives us
Speaker 1: the right that we have, but when it comes to
Speaker 1: the other side, then they use the same constitution against us.
Speaker 1: So I think my question you earlier when I was
Speaker 1: talking about the family units. So my concern and the
Speaker 1: how I see it is that the reason why communists
Speaker 1: marks as all these people want to de emphasize family.
Speaker 1: They want to take the focus away from family, They
Speaker 1: want to take the focus away from community, they want
Speaker 1: to take the focus away from individualism, they want to
Speaker 1: take the focus away from God. And the reason why
Speaker 1: is because if you believe in all those things, you're free.
Speaker 1: If you rely on the state, if you rely on
Speaker 1: the government, if you're beholding to the government, they own you.
Speaker 1: All you need to do is read the book by
Speaker 1: his soul A Lynsky, and he summarizes the eight most
Speaker 1: important things to take over a nation. This is very simple.
Speaker 1: Number one, you control healthcare. If you control health care,
Speaker 1: you control the people's lives. You create an insurmountable amount
Speaker 1: of debt. Look what they're doing, They're sending out thillions
Speaker 1: of dollars like you give out lollipops. You'll get to
Speaker 1: the point that we cannot we cannot handle that debt.
Speaker 1: So what do you do to raise the taxes? And
Speaker 1: you raise the taxes to a level that people can
Speaker 1: no longer own property, people can no longer own a
Speaker 1: business because the taxes would be crazy. In the meantime,
Speaker 1: the poor people now are the cheerleaders of that, okay,
Speaker 1: because they're already convinced the poor people that they're poor
Speaker 1: because of rich people. They make sure that they take
Speaker 1: God away from do you make sure that the family
Speaker 1: in nucleus is done. Make sure that that the basic
Speaker 1: values are destroyed. Make sure that kids are no longer educated,
Speaker 1: they're indoctrine needed. Make sure that people hate each other
Speaker 1: and the hatred. Make sure that the blacks hate the whites.
Speaker 1: Make sure that the rich hate the poor. May be
Speaker 1: sure that the people who live in the city hate
Speaker 1: the people who live in the farm. It's all part
Speaker 1: of the communist manifesto. And soul a Lynsky point is
Speaker 1: that very very well gun control. Every time there's a shooting,
Speaker 1: you want to have gun control, you know why, because
Speaker 1: they're afraid. The only way are this is a civil war,
Speaker 1: so they want to make sure there's no Listen, there's
Speaker 1: no weapons in Cuba. There's no weapons in Venezuela. What
Speaker 1: do you think they're being What do you think castle
Speaker 1: has been there for sixty years? But that is all
Speaker 1: in the book by soul A Lynsky, How to take
Speaker 1: Over a Country The eight major important things. Make sure
Speaker 1: that everybody's unwell, fair, and make sure that everybody depends
Speaker 1: on you. On the government of course, so it is
Speaker 1: the equal distribution of misery. As Mr Churchill pointed out
Speaker 1: right after the war, he knew he saw it because
Speaker 1: every country that is under communist region, it's just nothing
Speaker 1: but misery. How far away are we from becoming Cuba?
Speaker 1: Well just look what happened in the last ninety days.
Speaker 1: Just just think with the signature on a piece of documents.
Speaker 1: We went from the number one exporting oil country in
Speaker 1: the world too again becoming dependent on oil. Remember how
Speaker 1: many years we were crying that we could no longer
Speaker 1: be depending on for in oil. All of a sudden
Speaker 1: we became the number one all exported in the world.
Speaker 1: Nobody pay more than two two dollars, don't half dollars
Speaker 1: for the count of castline in the last ninety days,
Speaker 1: gonna over the dollar and now we depended on for
Speaker 1: a while again. And how many people were left out
Speaker 1: of a job so that you can send more thrillions
Speaker 1: of dollars to people because we destroy your job. Loo.
Speaker 1: What has happened at the border, and now they want
Speaker 1: to make they if h R one passes, the fraud
Speaker 1: that they committed in November will now become legal where
Speaker 1: you don't even need an ID to vote, where anybody
Speaker 1: come bote without being registered with anybody in an address
Speaker 1: will receive a mail in ballot, where a mail in
Speaker 1: ballot would be counted ten fifteen days after the election.
Speaker 1: Are you kidding me? And nobody seems to understand what
Speaker 1: is happening because it's happening so fast. This is crazy.
Speaker 1: So I saw it because I saw how many people
Speaker 1: were being killed in front of my eyes as a
Speaker 1: little boy. I saw I woulda had to run. My
Speaker 1: family was broken up, the family who would never involved
Speaker 1: in anything that had to do with politics, The family
Speaker 1: that grew up from foreign people who think to kill
Speaker 1: up when they were teenagers, who work their lives to
Speaker 1: make sure that their children would be educated. And this
Speaker 1: is what I am afraid. I'm afraid that the next generation,
Speaker 1: the first time ever in our country, it's not going
Speaker 1: to be better than the previous generation, because if you
Speaker 1: look at our history, every generation is always better than
Speaker 1: the previous generation. This is what I'm afraid of, because
Speaker 1: people who hate this country, people who hate capitalism, people
Speaker 1: who hate they think they're entitled. You entitled, do nothing.
Speaker 1: You have to work for what you have. I'm a
Speaker 1: typical example. What a great country, what a generous country
Speaker 1: for the kid to come over here, we're barely the
Speaker 1: closer he's wearing by himself and all of a sudden
Speaker 1: being able to impact thousands of families because this is
Speaker 1: where we learned with the generous family, with the generous people,
Speaker 1: and we share voluntarily, but we do because those are
Speaker 1: our family values. You destroy the family, you destroy the
Speaker 1: foundation of the world. The family is nothing but the foundation.
Speaker 1: And I remember Monsignor Bryan or wash the Irish priest
Speaker 1: who was pretty much involved of all of us. He
Speaker 1: was the one who really masterminded the operation and of
Speaker 1: bringing the kids from Cuba on a company. I remember
Speaker 1: having belongs with him and telling me about the importance
Speaker 1: of basic values because if you impact those in children
Speaker 1: of the certain age, those family values would be the
Speaker 1: foundation of the future. And this is what we are
Speaker 1: under thread right now. Our kids in school are being
Speaker 1: taught the mom and dadda's are racists. The mom and
Speaker 1: dadda are not necessarily good all the time. That is
Speaker 1: okay to choose the sex that you choose to be.
Speaker 1: That is okay to kill a child if you don't
Speaker 1: want him to have a child because you just made
Speaker 1: a mistake. That you don't have to say a prayer
Speaker 1: in school, because who the hell is God? And this
Speaker 1: is the problem that we have. So my God bless America.
Speaker 1: And I hope I am totally incorrect. Maximum hold on
Speaker 1: just one second. We've got to get to a break,
Speaker 1: and then we'll get right back to it. President Reagan
Speaker 1: said one of my favorite quotes of all time, and
Speaker 1: he said, I just think it's one of the most
Speaker 1: important things that anyone has ever said. And he said
Speaker 1: that freedom is never more than one generation from extinction.
Speaker 1: It has to be fought for, it has to be
Speaker 1: defended by each generation. There's this sentiment in America by
Speaker 1: so many people that somehow America is just always going
Speaker 1: to be free. It's just it's always going to be free,
Speaker 1: no problem, nothing to worry about. But you've lived this before,
Speaker 1: You've gone through this your family or you said your
Speaker 1: your parents lived through this before. What would you say
Speaker 1: to younger generations who just think, you know what, America
Speaker 1: is always going to be free. This that I can
Speaker 1: do as son old man, as a human being, is
Speaker 1: to continue to fight, to make sure that people understand
Speaker 1: the evils of communism, that kids just not be followers,
Speaker 1: to be leaders. To please find out the truth, learn,
Speaker 1: learn what is happening. If you're gonna send a dollar
Speaker 1: to Black Lives matter, just look into what they do,
Speaker 1: who they are, how much money they have, Where, where
Speaker 1: does the money go? Just just just don't follow like sheep.
Speaker 1: Just learn it's it's I know, it's it's much easier
Speaker 1: to follow, doesn't take much. But you must learn. You
Speaker 1: must educate yourself. You must understand what is good long term,
Speaker 1: and then nothing is free. When somebody promises you just
Speaker 1: gonna give you something, always be concerned. Why why would
Speaker 1: somebody want to give me something for nothing? That is
Speaker 1: not correct. Now let me tell you what we have done.
Speaker 1: And you know they said I will fight until I die,
Speaker 1: because you know, I'm a faith and people of faith
Speaker 1: fight until we die. We are passing a law in
Speaker 1: the state of Florida, and we're blessing in the state
Speaker 1: of Florida because we have the right people governing the state.
Speaker 1: We're passing a law at schools will have to teach
Speaker 1: day was a Communism are all levels and and we're
Speaker 1: doing the curriculum. Okay, We're not going to trust the
Speaker 1: teachers just to do that on their own. So that
Speaker 1: is one way, uh that I think we should be
Speaker 1: involved and continue to fight. We cannot accept where people say,
Speaker 1: when somebody calls you a racist, you're gonna need to
Speaker 1: defend yourself that we are not racist. That that bs
Speaker 1: that I don't value you because of the colorless skin
Speaker 1: or your accent or where you came from. I value
Speaker 1: to use a human being. And if you happen to
Speaker 1: be from Cuban, you're a bad person. You're a bad,
Speaker 1: empty one. I don't care. You need to find that
Speaker 1: fight for your possession. We're going to politically correct ourselves
Speaker 1: out of our country. We're doing that already. Those of
Speaker 1: us who work harder, we'll always accomplish more than those
Speaker 1: who may not. And and that is the fact of life.
Speaker 1: That's what we need to learn. And and life is
Speaker 1: not fair. We need to learn how to live in
Speaker 1: an unfair life and constantly trying to make it better
Speaker 1: but but not worse. Don't don't. Don't make promises that
Speaker 1: you know you cannot do. Don't promise me in free
Speaker 1: education when you know you cannot finance that. Don't promise
Speaker 1: me a free education on something that there's no no
Speaker 1: reason to do that because there's no demand. So if
Speaker 1: I study engineering, I'm going to have a better chance
Speaker 1: that if you study I guess music or how to
Speaker 1: play the guitar. That doesn't mean that that's what you like,
Speaker 1: that's what you follow, and that's what you do. That
Speaker 1: is fine, but then understand the consequences. This thing about
Speaker 1: no child left behind. Really I was never in a
Speaker 1: year in school when at least one of two kids
Speaker 1: we're left behind. Because if you cannot master first grade,
Speaker 1: how can you go to second grade? You are not
Speaker 1: doing that child good. You heard him, You're just moving
Speaker 1: him alone like you do with cattle. And this is
Speaker 1: the problem that we have in America today that just
Speaker 1: it seems that we we need to be sorry for
Speaker 1: everything that we have done. We need to be proud
Speaker 1: of what we have done because he is the greatest
Speaker 1: country in the world. You are the American dream. I
Speaker 1: mean as you came here at thirteen, you built yourself up,
Speaker 1: yourself made man. Nineteen seventies six you open Sunshine Citrus.
Speaker 1: Seven you started Sunshine Gasoline Distributors. You're very successful man
Speaker 1: through hard work and your own self determination. What would
Speaker 1: you tell young people about the possibilities in America? That
Speaker 1: what they can achieve if you know they work hard
Speaker 1: and they put in the effort. Number One, they need
Speaker 1: to understand that this is the only country where you
Speaker 1: can start a business, any business, or any idea from
Speaker 1: the trunk of your car and become very successful company
Speaker 1: companies that impact thousands and thousands of people. So what
Speaker 1: I would teach kids is always just learn, get get
Speaker 1: find the facts. Just don't listen to the media and
Speaker 1: follow uh the bill. Just don't be like cattle do
Speaker 1: and and always always remember the family values. The Judeo
Speaker 1: Christian values are those that make us better people. Those
Speaker 1: values are the ones that give you incentive to work hard.
Speaker 1: We are not going to succeed at everything that we do.
Speaker 1: We can be running the race and there will be
Speaker 1: always somebody who is faster than you. They may be
Speaker 1: some of us who may follow hup. We're racing the
Speaker 1: case to get up and keep on racing because eventually
Speaker 1: you'll get to the goal line. So we need to
Speaker 1: do is make sure that we have faith and we
Speaker 1: have hope, and that we continue to work hard, and
Speaker 1: that everything that we have has to be earned. Do
Speaker 1: not depend, Do not become dependent on government. Do not
Speaker 1: become dependent on anybody. As much as you can. Once
Speaker 1: you have the two hands and the two legs and
Speaker 1: something called the human brains, you can accomplish anything. Dream
Speaker 1: as high as you can, because if you're able to
Speaker 1: dream it, you're able to accomplish. It's beautiful and wise
Speaker 1: words from you, Maximo. It's such an honor to talk
Speaker 1: to you today. I share your concerns about freedom slipping
Speaker 1: away in America, but this country is worth fighting for.
Speaker 1: Freedom is worth fighting for. Our values are worth fighting for.
Speaker 1: So it's such an honor to have this discussion with you.
Speaker 1: Thank you so much for making the time, sir, Thank
Speaker 1: you very much, Thank you for having me. I want
Speaker 1: to thank Maximo. There is again for such an incredible
Speaker 1: interview and such an amazing story. Freedom is so important
Speaker 1: and and it's really important that we all work hard
