00:01:08.000So every time the Cuban people are willing to fight for their freedom, there's an American administration that says, don't fight there, come live here in the United States.
00:02:53.000I wanted to see a socialist society in person.
00:02:55.000Last month, I took the opportunity to go as part of a humanitarian mission to bring aid that my government won't.
00:03:01.000Despite all that, and having open trade and economically viable relationships.
00:03:05.000With the largest trading partners in the world outside of the United States, the country seems to be, and by that I mean is on the brink with protests becoming increasingly prevalent amongst food shortages, blackouts, etc.
00:03:18.000Now to the crisis in Cuba, the U.S. ramping up the pressure on the government as crippling blackouts and a teetering economy have sparked unrest on the island.
00:03:27.000So let's cut through the fog here.0.69
00:03:28.000The MAGA, America First, Patriotism, Anti Pinko Kami.0.96
00:03:32.000We have blockaded oil coming into Cuba.0.88
00:03:42.000So far, due to a lot of conditions around the world, we haven't actually seen a communist society, as in, we haven't seen a stateless, classless society.
00:04:21.000As you notice, the dynamic here is a little bit browner today because we've been talking about Cuba quite a bit with Hassan Piker and Nick Shirley.0.96
00:04:29.000You know, I've talked about having gone to Cuba, and a lot of people maybe aren't fully aware in the United States what the dynamic is there, the threats that it poses.0.90
00:04:36.000It's just sort of become a political talking point.0.85
00:04:38.000So we decided to wrangle up some Cuban Americans and Have them here.
00:04:44.000Welcome to the, I guess what we call it, Cuban Roundtable?
00:05:12.000We do a lot of talking there, Cuban and not Cuban, but a lot of independent thinking, a lot of, you know, just good ideas, in my opinion, so feel free.
00:05:50.000Well, this is not the way you can introduce Jorge Mazvedal's undersight.
00:05:54.000You came here because you were sitting in the same seat where Jorge Mazvedal, really Was having flashbacks, but let everybody know where to find you.
00:06:01.000Yeah, Josue Alvarez, I kind of touch on Miami topics, but I've been touching about politics and culture a little more frequently, a little more analytical and what are the power structures of things that we're seeing within the US.
00:06:16.000You can find me at what Josue has to say.
00:06:18.000And yeah, Miami, Cuban American, born and raised.
00:06:21.000And then we, you two are kind of, yeah, it's a two for one thing.
00:06:56.000We make our own impression on what's going on.
00:06:59.000And we also like to support what's going on in our country, to support the freedom of Cuba, the freedom of Cuban political prisoners.
00:07:06.000And first of all, before we start, we want to thank you for giving us your platform so we can talk to your audience about what's really going on in Cuba because we've seen so many people talk about our country, our reality, that they just read about it on the news.
00:08:53.000And then food is like $200, $300 a month.
00:08:56.000The Cuban economy is sustained by the Cubans that are in Miami sending money back to Cuba and people around the world sending money back to Cuba to their families.0.71
00:09:05.000They're keeping them hostages in Cuba.0.61
00:09:29.000But a sun piker going, this is great.1.00
00:09:30.000By the way, someone's dying on a ventilator because they're using the power for his whatever, his stupid Irish hip hop bigotry.1.00
00:09:36.000And people just go, yeah, yeah, so it must not be that bad.0.99
00:09:39.000I mean, every single major American celebrity, political celebrity, from Jane Fonda, Oliver Stone, Bob Dylan, they all supported the Castro.
00:10:19.000I think that, and I've spoken about this on my page before, I think that's a product of American privilege, right?
00:10:24.000You're so disconnected from hardship, you're so disconnected from survival that, for example, a lot of the woke stuff, and not to get into that topic, comes about because it's a Maslow's hierarchy or whatever it's called the hierarchy of survival, right?
00:10:40.000Which is once you stop worrying about food and the basic needs, you worry about social issues, right?
00:10:51.000You're so disconnected from what the reality is that some people need to go through that you're worried about pronouns or all these socialist ideals, right?
00:10:59.000Because socialist socialism is social problems, right?
00:11:05.000So you deviate from the things that made this country this country.
00:11:09.000And you start getting brainwashed into believing that an oppressive regime 90 miles off the coast of the US is heaven.
00:13:17.000Do you think, Michael, when you see that though, when you see Michael Moore going, Cuba has better healthcare than the United States, at a certain point, you go, that can't just be ignorance.
00:14:28.000And that's where they beat us because they are organized and they're militant.
00:14:32.000Militante, that's a very key word in communism.
00:14:35.000You are militant of the Cuban, of the Partido Comunista, so of the Communist Party.
00:14:41.000So when I see the people in the US, just common folk, thinking that Cuba is great, I just see a result of the propaganda, a result of their militancia.
00:15:03.000And when I see people here idolizing Cuba, I'm thinking, we're in danger.
00:15:09.000And where do we go if the US falls to something similar to Cuba?0.89
00:15:13.000So when people say that Cuba's healthcare is better because they fell for Hassan and the little makeshift flotilla that went to Cuba, I'm just seeing the result of years of work.0.73
00:15:25.000And I'm thinking, We need to really step up our game and let people know.
00:15:29.000And that's why this platform is so important and these spaces are so important to let people know that, yes, we want Cuba to be free because we were born in Cuba, at least, or we have direct ties to people that were born in Cuba and it's dear to our hearts.
00:15:44.000But we came to this country looking for freedom.
00:15:46.000And this is the place where we found the opportunity to be what we couldn't be in our country.
00:15:51.000So it's our opportunity to tell Americans, tell people of the United States.
00:15:58.000And this has been the plan all along to make sure that you think that's the alternative and that's better and that's social because socialism is so great.
00:17:35.000For example, us being here in your show is great for us because we got some attention for a big show to talk to American people about our situation.
00:17:46.000But the left, They will pay big networks for interviews, for moments, for movies.
00:17:52.000They even go to Cuba and they're interviewing the Castro family.
00:18:43.000Well, in Cuba, they're trying to get to the United States.
00:18:45.000It just shows you the differential of propaganda.
00:18:47.000But you were about to say something off of history.
00:18:49.000So, two things to your first question is it ignorance or is it design?
00:18:53.000We have two Congress men and women, Pramila J. Paul and the other guy, I forget his name, that recently went to Cuba to meet with the regime.
00:19:23.000To that degree, where you went on the island, And you come back saying that it's better than the United States healthcare system, that's psychotic.
00:20:23.000I'm trying to fix my financial predicament while simultaneously trying to make Rachel jealous when she sees my video and me having sex with all these girls.1.00
00:20:32.000Your mother and I have had more sex in your bedroom than you have.1.00
00:20:35.000Dad, don't talk about moms like that!1.00
00:21:10.000I mean, just like the Met Gallery are talking about.
00:21:13.000This is excess consumption, completely unnecessary, while they browbeat Americans who want to get a nice result.0.61
00:21:17.000And then the second point that I want to bring up is you mentioned the American media over there in the U.S., but that has been a play by the regime since the Castro days.
00:21:27.000Castro amplified his running through manipulating CBS reporters to go onto the island in La Sierra Maestra and amplify his entire thing.
00:21:54.000As soon as he got power and he knew what he could do.
00:21:58.000And that's one of the things that we are so angry about it that we have a communist regime threat to the U.S. 90 miles from the coast of Florida.
00:22:08.000So, Cubans, we have been trying to be free for 70 years.0.97
00:22:12.0001962, Bay of Pigs, a bunch of Cubans from Miami, they organized.
00:22:16.000They went back, they invaded, they wanted to get freedom.
00:23:18.000So every time the Cuban people, Are willing to fight for their freedom, there's an American administration that says, don't fight there, come live here in the United States.
00:24:33.000Like, for example, they just go, if you lift this cruel embargo, let me go through some questions, because I know what people are going to say.
00:24:38.000First off, people are going to say, and I want to make really clear what you were just saying, like America has made us great, because some people go, like, well, if you want to leave, then go back.
00:25:47.000If you, when you say, because I know your viewers and the people in the comments are going to go crazy talking about it is the U.S.'s fault.0.95
00:25:55.000Well, not my viewers, but I always present devil's advocate because that's the Hassan.0.94
00:25:59.000If it wasn't for the U.S., they'd be prospering.0.93
00:26:01.000Not your viewers, your loyal viewers, but those that, you know, to respond.
00:26:08.000So basically, In Cuba, the government cannot allow the people to get empowered to have a business, to plant food freely, because the moment people are empowered, people get a wisp of what it feels like.
00:26:41.000There are different things that, you know, and the way I see it, the embargo came into place, not the arms embargo of Batista.
00:26:49.000We need to let that, you know, let's make that difference because people are, well, the arms embargo of Batista.
00:26:54.000The modern embargo started because Fidel expropriated things that were not his.0.63
00:27:01.000He came into power and he not only took Hershey's from Felton, he took, yeah, he didn't take just the big people, the foreigners that were, you know, saqueando the island, like taking advantage of the island, as they call it.0.61
00:27:24.000So that embargo came as a result of Fidel taking what wasn't his.
00:27:29.000So, in my opinion, as principle, you cannot lift the embargo because all that will be like just forgotten.
00:27:35.000Well, not only that, but it'll just, like you talked about, the aid will go through the Cuban government and not go to the Cuban government.
00:28:40.000Russia, a couple of years ago, they gave Cuba a billion dollars to do the electric infrastructure to renovate it so they don't have so many blackouts.
00:28:50.000What the Cuban government did, they took all the money, they put it into hotels, they put it into the things that bring money to the dictatorship.
00:28:58.000So at the end of the day, the embargo is in turn.
00:29:01.000It's from the Cuban government to the Cuban people because Cuba is surrounded by the sea.
00:29:06.000The Cuban people cannot go out and fish.
00:29:08.000Well, I mean, even a microcosm of that, I've told the story on the show before.
00:29:11.000When I was in Havana, we were shooting a rising crust pizza commercial.
00:29:14.000It was like, you know, the production company had a budget for Q4.
00:32:52.000Like it's 136 countries or some crazy number like that.
00:32:55.000How are you doing so poorly when the only person you don't trade with, and I put in quotation because they still trade with the U.S., Is the United States right?
00:33:02.000The number one source of poultry of chicken comes from the state of Kentucky, yeah.
00:33:16.000They believe that there's some American, you know, troops like we're in Cuba.
00:33:23.000Venezuela was giving them a hundred percent of the oil supply, it was coming from Venezuela, Cuba was selling 60 percent, and they were still having blackouts.
00:34:41.000For decades, and that's what people say blockade, block lane, but they don't even blockade against Canadians getting sunburned, for God's sake.
00:34:46.000I literally watched all the Canadians go down, like, it's beautiful.
00:34:49.000I went to the beach, Baradero, Baradero.0.90
00:34:58.000The last big storm in Cuba, we were having, we were on the radio when that happened.
00:35:04.000And we have many sponsors down there in Miami that were willing to fill up a plane full of aid to bring to Cuba, but we wanted to give it to the people by hand.
00:35:12.000Like, I want to get into Cuba, I want to get into the airport, I want to get my plane of supplies, I want to give you the aid that you need.
00:35:19.000The Cuban government didn't let anybody do that.
00:35:44.000It's the Cuban Communist Party that doesn't let me, as a Cuban, go back to Cuba and build that school, build that hospital, because they don't want me to tell the Cuban people that you can do it if you're free, if you have freedom.
00:35:56.000Because they want to give everything to you.
00:35:58.000Well, let me ask you, because, and this is one of the rare instances where we pre taped, because you guys all had to fly and have flights to catch.
00:36:04.000So I don't know when this runs if will have already gone down, but President Trump said that Cuba's next.
00:36:09.000I want to ask you, because you were talking about the national security issue too, because you let some Americans go, oh, my heart breaks for Cuban people.
00:36:45.000Cuba learned a lot of its tactics from the Soviet Union.
00:36:48.000To this day, Cuban intelligence, and I was telling Stephen off camera, they're the Mossad of Latin America.0.52
00:36:55.000People don't suspect them because we're a little poor island and we don't have money and all these things, but that's the perfect cover up.0.63
00:37:57.000It's like a love of her life just disappeared.
00:37:59.000No, and as Americans, we care about immigration, for example.1.00
00:38:04.000That you know, people you heard trend that I was from Venezuela, you heard all the Venezuelan exiles, uh, the bad ones, you know, being in the country and being like doing bad stuff.0.90
00:38:15.000Cubans, because Cuba went to Venezuela, this is destabilized Venezuela, did the same thing with Nicaragua, trying to do the same thing with Mexico.
00:39:58.000So it's a big part of it why they're dangerous too, I would imagine, because they have nothing to lose.1.00
00:40:01.000So I don't know if you know this, but very often in the United States, people who are hiring folks to put out a hit, they'll hire Haitians.1.00
00:40:15.000It's very well known that you just get some Haitians.1.00
00:40:16.000Like, if it's not super important that you, you know, you're concerned with getting caught, like, just they'll do it.1.00
00:40:22.000So, with Cuba, how does that relate, you think, to the United States for people here who maybe aren't thinking about it from a national security perspective?
00:40:28.000Do you think, is it one of those things that something needs to be done in the interest of even the United States?
00:40:33.000Because a lot of people just go, ah, who cares?
00:42:00.000These people are taken to Cuba, they're trained, and then they come back here to continue to be militant.
00:42:07.000And that's how you see the socialist, the democratic socialists of America, and all these institutions growing rapidly here.
00:42:15.000And when you look in the background and you kind of follow the thread, you realize that a lot of these people are participating in brigade programs that go to Cuba to get trained on how to be militant.
00:42:57.000No, Anna, the other day, you look at it.1.00
00:42:59.000I think it's insane that Tomarello is allowed to walk freely and name his band Rage Against the Machine while wearing the shirt of a Fascist totalitarian.
00:43:07.000I think that he needs to be questioned and I think he needs to be deported.
00:43:11.000Two of the closest spy bases from the foreign governments are in Havana.
00:43:17.000One is called Lourdes, it's from China, that is a listening base, and it's on the north of Havana, and it's a spy base from China.
00:43:26.000They have spy bases installed in Cuba, 90 miles from Key West.
00:45:22.000So again, you have to think 20 countries since Castro took power, they have tried to subvert, to invade, to win whatever manipulative ways.
00:46:39.000Imagine Venezuela used to be a Cuban colony.0.65
00:46:43.000Well, it's also, think about this.0.93
00:46:44.000Let's just do it on the flip side, because people will say, wherever people line up on Iran, I think they're reasonable positions.
00:46:48.000I think replacing Donald Trump with the Democrat Party is absurd.
00:46:51.000But even if you look at Cuba, let's just reverse this.
00:46:54.000What do you think the Castro regime would do if someone from Cuba, let's say a mayor somewhere in Cuba, They found out they had gone to the United States and done work with the Republican Party.
00:49:26.000That's what they teach you in school when you're learning how to read.
00:49:28.000Because it's a Machiavellic type of system that they would teach you, like, they would make you in this type of little red monster that you're a communist since the beginning.
00:49:40.000So they had a song, like a lullaby, that is called, like, Ninito Cubano, Little Cuban Kid, what do you want to do?
00:50:53.000Let's say the United States were to do anything, intervene.
00:50:57.000The problem is in North Korea, a lot of them believe it.
00:50:59.000Like a lot of them believe that, well, Kim Jong il and now Kim Jong un, they believe he got 11 holes in one in his first game at golf, which to me is like, it's a crazy lie to tell, like, I'm a god, I got 11 holes in one.
00:54:15.000Well, let me ask you why do you think it is, though, that Cuban Americans Tend to be, I mean, it's the most reliable conservative Republican voting block really in the United States demographically.
00:54:25.000Why is that not mirrored, for example, in Venezuelan Americans and Nicaraguan Americans?0.98
00:54:29.000Because they come from countries, in some cases, you could argue it's not full fledged communism, it's just a bad economy.0.96
00:54:34.000But what do you think it is that is so unique about Cuban Americans in comparison to a lot of other Latin American, use the term Hispanic Americans, that they often come and they still vote Democrat?0.76
00:54:47.000Because many of them, for example, you see in sports, Cuban baseball players, they have to like defect going on, leaving Cuba on a raft, on a speedboat.
00:54:59.000You see people from other countries, they can get coming to the US, they can even go back to their countries.
00:55:08.000You go back there thinking differently, you die.1.00
00:55:11.000So for us, it's like North Korea, you put the best example.0.91
00:55:15.000We're as close as North Korea as possible.
00:55:18.000I think that in our community, also, what makes a big difference.
00:55:22.000A lot of people say, how come you guys get, you know, if you had what foot, dry foot, how come you get privileges, immigration privileges?
00:55:28.000And people also have to understand that we have had people in our community that had made it a goal to become politicians, to have influence in, you know, the lawmaking and the policymaking in this country.
00:55:41.000So we have had a lot of good examples that have led the way, and everybody has kind of funneled, you know, through that channel.0.96
00:55:50.000So I think that's why a lot of Cubans, Survival.
00:55:55.000But we've had people that have made it a goal to say, you guys, this is it.
00:57:00.000I think for a lot of the reasons, yeah, it's such a long oppression that people are just starving, for lack of a better word, for a better life, right?
00:57:09.000But I also think that there's something within the DNA.
00:57:13.000Of when Cuba was capitalist and in such tight relations with the U.S., the U.S. and Cuba partnership was unique.
00:57:20.000There was no, it did not again propagate the contrast, maybe provides more context.
00:57:44.000They'll tell you before the revolution, we had apples and we had this, and the Americans brought this and that.
00:57:49.000And so we all grew up with people from the older generation saying how good it was when the Americans, you know.
00:57:56.000So it's like we kind of have that, like I said, like in our DNA.
00:58:00.000And the thing is that, for example, the Cuban exile, all of them from 1959 to today, we had to leave the country because of the situation of the regime.
00:58:13.000Most of these countries, for example, Nicaragua, Venezuela, maybe they have people that left before or they travel for other situations, but for us, again, it was a survival matter.
00:58:22.000And all of us, we know people that got killed by the regime.
00:58:27.000Somebody's uncle, somebody's grandfather got assassinated by the regime.
00:58:32.000Another thing, I came into the US in 2001.
00:58:36.000And when I left Cuba, I came legally because my dad asked for us so we can come into the US.
00:58:43.000The Cuban Communist Party went into my house and they did an inventory.
00:58:47.000Of even the glasses that we have, of the lamps and everything, and everything was to be returned back to the state.
00:58:53.000I was very poor, so it didn't mind as much for me.
00:58:57.000But we know people that have to leave like businesses, their entire farms, everything taken from them, like taken from them, then everything.
00:59:23.000So, we're looking at what these people that hurt me so much are backing.
00:59:27.000I'm going to go against you all the way.0.58
00:59:29.000So, if tomorrow we have somebody running for the president and it's, for example, John Miller, and against John Miller is running a dog, but that dog is capitalist and it's against communism, I'm going to vote for the dog.
00:59:46.000I will never vote for somebody that defends socialism because it takes everything from you.
00:59:53.000I want to say something regarding what you just said about taking inventory before leaving.
00:59:58.000A lot of people don't know that when Cubans leave, especially like you left announced, you know, they claimed you.
01:00:03.000When we left Cuba, because we came through a program in 1989 after Jesse Jackson went to Cuba to advocate for the political prison, something we can thank Jesse Jackson, at least my family, to advocate for specifically a Seventh day Adventist pastor that was imprisoned.
01:00:39.000We knew because the people that were leaving around that time, inventory was taken of their stuff and they couldn't even take family photographs.
01:00:47.000So, every family photograph that we have, my dad gave to a Mexican pastor that went to visit Cuba months before and told them, Please take these photographs of my family to Mexico because when we leave, we won't be able to take them.
01:01:00.000Sure enough, we were stripped of everything personal, every heirloom, everything.
01:01:04.000And we were able to get the family photographs once we arrived to the United States almost a year later.
01:02:08.000It was a guy who kidnapped women, raped them, and killed them.0.99
01:02:14.000And his accomplice was this woman, Carla Homoka, where she would lure them in and she'd videotape it.0.99
01:02:20.000And she videotaped the rape and killing of her own sister.
01:02:25.000And I say this because she struck a plea deal in Canada and she got out.
01:02:27.000And I saw her one time, actually, where I grew up on the south shore of Montreal, and she was with a Haitian guy and she was a Seventh day Adventist.
01:02:33.000So I knew that there were a lot of Haitians who were Seventh day Adventists.
01:02:36.000I'm not saying Seventh day Adventists are Carla Homoka.
01:02:38.000But the point is, after she got the plea deal, she came out and turned her life to God.0.98
01:02:41.000And I was like, oh, I found out there were a lot of Haitians.
01:02:42.000I didn't know if that was a thing where they specifically went.
01:02:45.000At some point, it became okay to be openly religious, but for some time, after the Pope went to Cuba.
01:03:05.000But think about what you just said like, oh, go ahead, we take your identity, we take your culture, and you'll provide the phones for us or whatever you want to.
01:03:14.000Everything about socialism, this is why Cubans, because we know the pattern.0.69
01:03:18.000We see the guys behind the whole empathy, it's information warfare.0.98
01:03:23.000You disguise, and it's this long drawn out game of chess.
01:03:27.000Think about when Castro released so many people and Mariel, all this go, go, go.
01:04:04.000Humidores are meant to mimic the Cuban climate because anything you want to grow can grow there.1.00
01:04:08.000They have the two biggest trading partners outside of the United States.0.95
01:04:10.000In other words, if communism worked for Russia or China, you'd be great.
01:04:14.000That's also why I want to get into the timing of this right now because Russia, a big sort of a big entity that's propped up Cuba, right now they're busy fighting their own battles, so they're not able to support Cuba as much, so they're in a weakened state.
01:04:24.000But it's like you guys should be able to make it work.0.98
01:07:00.000I know it's going to come with some pain, but this needs to be done.
01:07:04.000Do you think there's that level of resolve for the Cuban people?
01:07:06.000In other words, if something needs to be done, or do you think that it would be one of those things where there's a timeframe of two months and the second it starts getting a little bit too tough, the Cubans would turn against Iran?
01:07:31.000You're going to have a prosperous neighbor.
01:07:33.000Your closest neighbor to the south, besides Mexico, is Cuba.
01:07:37.000You're going to have a prosperous neighbor who's going to have an infrastructure which is working.
01:07:41.000You need to build hotels, you need to build infrastructure.
01:07:44.000For example, Home Depot, Amazon, all of those big companies, they don't have a presence in Cuba because it doesn't exist for them.
01:07:52.000So, jobs, you're going to have a bunch of jobs.
01:07:54.000You're going to have a bunch of opportunity to invest and to grow.
01:07:59.000Number two, you're going to erase the threat that is to have China and Russia 90 miles from your southern border, which is Key West.
01:08:08.000You're going to have a beautiful place to go vacation because Cuba is going to be amazing.
01:08:14.000You have so many little keys and islands and everything.
01:08:19.000And you're going to have a neighbor that is going to be prosperous.
01:08:22.000It's going to help you shape the entire continent because once we're free, once Venezuela has freedom too, and Venezuela is prosperous also.
01:08:31.000You're going to have less people coming into the United States to be like, you know, depending on the American government to be successful.
01:08:39.000I personally, I've thought about this a million times.
01:08:41.000And my prediction is I do believe that Trump will secure either a territory, I don't think of a state, territory or some sort of weird new hybrid protectorate type of thing where it's ironclad because Cuba was already a protectorate and look where we're at, right?
01:08:56.000There's many benefits to Cuba outside of capitalism, right?
01:08:59.000Cuba has no oil, but it has the Cuban diaspora, which is among the most successful Hispanics.
01:09:05.000Within the United States per capita, right?
01:09:07.000We have the highest amount of lobbying influence outside of the Jews.0.96
01:11:20.000Let me ask you, because you're talking about China, but what kind of a ripple effect do you think it would have, let's say, to secure Cuba, where it's like, okay, now we're going to eliminate their influence with other sort of, I guess you could say, antagonist nations?
01:11:35.000Do you think that that would have a significant impact on Venezuela, on perhaps being a domino?
01:12:25.000I mean, for example, the closest thing you might have to Cuba, and I'm going to get flack for this, but we did the great dictoff where we took dictators throughout history and we had brackets and we had Hitler versus Mao and Stalin versus Pol Pot.
01:12:37.000And I felt bad putting him in there because Pinochet wasn't all wrong.
01:12:41.000Now, what I mean by that is you have a Lende before that communism.
01:12:44.000And what happens in South America often is they go, okay, communism, because it's a very selfish vote.
01:12:51.000And they go, okay, we're done with that now.
01:12:53.000It swings back because they don't have the constitution that we have here in the United States.
01:12:57.000We're the longest standing constitutional republic in the world.
01:13:00.000And that includes Europe because they just reformat everything after a few decades.
01:13:04.000So the concern there is even if Cuba, let's say we have a really strong relationship with them, South America has just tended, it's been a pendulum.
01:13:16.000But for us, okay, the answer to that is why then Cubans, when we come into the United States, never go back to being communists or never go back to vote for the left?
01:14:02.000Because you can make communism illegal, right?
01:14:05.000Socialism is right there, or just very left views, right?
01:14:09.000If things ever get bad enough where poverty ensues, and this is not in the immediate years, I say 30, 40, 50 years down the line, you're not always going to have a beautiful economy.
01:15:01.000I want to say, I know that we always talk about incentives, you know.
01:15:08.000Material economic, which is amazing, and we should.
01:15:10.000But I just also want to say to the parents out there who are concerned about their children, and there's a whole bunch of parents taking their kids out of public school and homeschooling them because they're, you know, fighting with the school boards across the country because this ideology is like taking over this gender ideology.
01:15:26.000I want to let them know that Cuba is directly responsible for educating the people and transforming the school systems in the United States of America.0.84
01:15:35.000So they have to understand how dangerous it is for Cuba to continue to be communist 90 miles away and training the people that are.
01:15:43.000Converting and transforming the schools their children are teaching.
01:15:46.000Can you expand on that a little bit for people who maybe don't know?
01:15:47.000When you say training a lot of those in the educational system, what do you mean?
01:15:51.000A lot of people that belong to the school boards here, a lot of people that design the lesson boards here, a lot of books that the kids are exposed to, the way things are worded, they're all designed and written by people that have a training in, I wouldn't say communism, but they have a Marxist underlay.
01:16:12.000So when you send your child off to school and they come back with these weird ideas, you may not even think that there's a little island in the Caribbean.
01:16:20.000That may be linked to this situation.0.91
01:16:23.000And because Cuba has made such a good job, it's sadly such an excellent job at propaganda and intelligence.
01:16:53.000Get training and they come back here and they belong to organizations that get funded by the federal government and they impart lessons and they instruct and they do Zoom calls and they go to the schools and they involve the kids in these clubs and your children are exposed to this and the background usually ends up with somebody that went on some trip and got instructed in how wonderful socialism is.0.98
01:17:15.000And it's so evil because of course they don't allow, the first thing they do in communist countries is they get rid of the gays.0.96
01:18:28.000What you're talking about, the reason, right, the socialist, the revolutionary fist, the limp wrist, socialism is for figs, we have a fig leaf, was so that people would ask the question, say, that's offensive.
01:18:37.000I go, is it more offensive than concentration camps and execution for camps?0.65
01:18:42.000Every time I see a person wearing a Che Guevara shirt, for me, it's the same effect as, for example, a Jew person see a Hitler shirt.0.80
01:19:15.000It's planted, it's called planted because they're in jail.
01:19:19.000When this happened, the Cuban political prisoners, by the way, as of today, as we're speaking right now, 1,250 Cuban prisoners are right now in jail.
01:21:10.000They did communities of people that didn't like the revolution because there were so many, and they segregated to zones in Cuba, and they have to live there.
01:21:41.000I said, if you want to understand it, and I've been just banging this drum for months now because I think there's something to say we're simplifying.
01:22:10.000It's you have more, therefore you're bad.1.00
01:22:12.000But that's why they're retardant and low IQ because if you cannot see through that, right, if you cannot see the pattern of there's no right, the only rhyme and reason is oppressor and non oppressed.1.00
01:23:27.000I was going to say, I also, by the way, I read somewhere, I can't find it anymore.
01:23:32.000I don't remember where I read this in a book.
01:23:33.000Maybe you could tell me if you know there's something to this that Che Guevara broke down, I believe it was the north wall to his office so he could watch the firing squad.
01:23:43.000That he actually personally was a, unlike Hitler, he was a personal sadist who enjoyed watching the execution.
01:23:49.000So I remember reading about this, and there was someone who was a historian talking about it.
01:23:51.000I just, it's one of those things, you know, radio days, pre everything online.
01:23:55.000I mean, he was twisted in many ways, so it doesn't, it's not out of the norm or question.
01:23:59.000Yeah, I mean, well, he did brag before.
01:24:01.000I mean, if you look at the Nuremberg trials, you have some people who were indignant, but some people were like very regretful, or some people who tried to minimize it.
01:24:08.000Che Guevara said execute without trial.0.84
01:24:44.000Yes, these people are always unarmed, though, by the way.
01:24:47.000I always say, you know, everyone knows how they found him.
01:24:49.000When they caught him, when they caught him, Bolivia fully loaded rifle, brand new, still had the price tag on it, worth more to you alive than dead.
01:25:51.000Yeah, it's a huge Canadian tourism in Cuba.
01:25:53.000Can I take the interviewer position really quick to ask you how it is that you, just from such a young age, rejected the Canadian kind of like, you know?0.96
01:27:29.000Like, it's a great country because you're going home using your electricity, your television set, watching Seinfeld while you microwave some popcorn over a Redenbacher or whatever it is, movie pop, jiffy pop.
01:28:12.000In my life, raised in Canada, going through great, always public schools, working in the entertainment industry, who were not basically full on leftists.
01:28:22.000And one of them works for me, who you saw in the writer's room, the Home Alone room.
01:30:41.000I can do anything I want because of the United States of America.
01:30:44.000And I understand what it is to come from a place that you don't own anything, not even your freedom.
01:30:51.000Tend to forget about that, how much value freedom has.
01:30:55.000When you are sitting in a room looking behind your back and talking like this, and you don't want to say anything and you don't want to do anything.
01:31:02.000And in America, I can go on my podcast and I can say, I don't like Trump, I don't like Biden, and nobody comes knocking on my door and taking me to jail.
01:31:10.000I know people in Cuba that have been killed.
01:31:14.000There are Cuban artists named Luis Manero Terracantara and Michael Orsoli.
01:32:13.000Territory, I wouldn't say state, territory, ironclad, so the island can never become what it was once.
01:32:20.000It benefits the US in so many ways, meaning there'll never be an enemy and the resources of the island.
01:32:25.000It will be a synergistic, mutual benefit for the people on the island and the US, and there's permanent freedom for that island.
01:32:33.000Because as long as you are next to a superpower and that superpower has enemies, that island is open game at some point in time to be infiltrated, even slowly.
01:34:27.000Would you be willing to, if you do that, you'd pay like some kind of a tax back to the United States for allowing you to go back and invest in Cuba?
01:35:58.000And I don't think that it's realistic to say, Yeah, free us.
01:36:01.000And then we do have a plan, but I do believe that it needs to be supervised for a certain period of time because there will be a lot of confusion.
01:37:22.000I mean, like, look, like I've said, people can have reasonable positions on Iran, but you have people sanitizing the regime of Iran right now, going like, ah, they're not your enemy.
01:37:31.000You could say it's expensive, or you could say maybe the communications have been wrong, or you could even say that you're against it, but you cannot say that it's anything other than evil, the Iranian regime.1.00
01:37:38.000What was the first thing they did when they fell threatened?1.00
01:43:09.000And I've just come across your rants that are more so like on Instagram and stuff like that where you break it down, but let people know where to find you.
01:43:15.000So, like you said, Instagram and TikTok, it's at what Josue has to say.
01:43:20.000For those that don't know, Josue is Joshua in Spanish.
