00:01:20.380 Go for it.

00:01:51.720 president now I want to hear the president not Todd lunch only with the
00:01:54.860 president has to sing this one go for it appreciate what the attorney general
00:02:00.940 just did today and was just doing now is just watching it so we have Cuba on our
00:02:07.920 mind very important a lot of problem for a lot of years and this was a big I
00:02:14.760 think it's a very big moment for people that not only Cuban Americans but people
00:02:20.160 that came from Cuba, that want to go back to Cuba,
00:02:22.520 people that want to see their
00:02:24.240 family in Cuba. I think
00:02:26.120 this is a very big day, a very important day.
00:02:28.420 Now, can we do this, Rob?
00:02:30.420 Who is Raul Castro?
00:02:31.960 What do we know about Raul Castro? That is Fidel's
00:02:34.320 brother. That is Fidel's brother. But what did
00:02:36.140 Raul Castro do in 1996?
00:02:39.440 Model things.
00:02:40.780 The planes.
00:02:41.560 The planes, yeah.
00:02:43.240 There was a humanitarian plane,
00:02:45.240 and who decided
00:02:47.640 to shoot down the planes
00:02:49.640 that were the humanitarian plane in 1996.
00:02:52.400 The shoot-down of the brothers to the rescue aircraft
00:02:54.160 when a Cuban Air Force shot down two unarmed Cessna 337 Skymaster aircraft
00:03:00.660 operated by brothers to the rescue and organization opposed to the Cuban government
00:03:04.060 killing four men on the 24th February of 1996.
00:03:07.700 Dean Dighton was unsealed and announced by the acting U.S. General Todd Blanche
00:03:11.860 May 20, 2026.
00:03:13.800 Now, here's a question.
00:03:15.160 Did Obama know this event?
00:03:17.220 100.
00:03:18.200 100%.
00:03:18.720 No question.
00:03:19.760 So Barack Obama knows this event 100%.
00:03:21.920 What is he doing going to a baseball game with Raul Castro?
00:03:26.100 How do you argue that, you know, to go, this is him and Obama right there
00:03:30.360 sitting right next to each other.
00:03:31.840 It's not like they're sitting in the same section.
00:03:33.480 Oh, and also the current president of Cuba in the blue hat right there.
00:03:36.920 Yeah, they're sitting there.
00:03:38.460 Do you not know what that guy did?
00:03:40.580 I don't know.
00:03:42.040 Do you not know what's going on there?
00:03:43.740 Look at the friendly conversations that they're having there, the smiles.
00:03:46.960 You know, hey, this is a guy that literally shot down humanitarian planes.
00:03:52.620 So why would they be this friendly with each other, Elon?
00:03:55.580 By the way, go back to that picture right there.
00:03:58.840 Do you know what this picture was from?
00:04:00.120 I know what happens when you aim your hand that low like that.
00:04:03.400 Okay.
00:04:04.120 Hi.
00:04:04.800 Understand this.
00:04:06.040 Barack Obama, this is for you, sir.
00:04:08.360 Allegedly, you can fact check this.
00:04:10.060 He didn't want to shake his hand on camera.
00:04:13.040 So Raul went to shake his hand.
00:04:15.200 because there's a difference sitting there versus that picture you know what i'm saying that picture
00:04:20.060 so he went to like and oh there it is and then he did it but that's why he did that picture
00:04:27.020 i'm telling you that might be a we've seen obama yeah we've seen obama align himself with uh
00:04:33.780 figures that i would consider extremists from a very young age uh was what was it dinesh d'Souza's
00:04:39.460 documentary on him showed all those connections back in the day i mean this is unsurprising to
00:04:43.660 me this is not some major breakthrough translated marxist socialist yes essentially but uh if we're
00:04:49.500 looking at it at the bigger story here i think it's interesting that trump is trying to isolate
00:04:54.180 cuba it seems like he's starting to push for soft regime evolution and uh he does seem to want to
00:05:02.060 make it a more strategic location and look at the effects obviously if you look at the strategic
00:05:06.640 impact the influence that russia and china have through cuba uh i think he's that's his his goal
00:05:11.420 there. Tom, what do you think with this story? Is this a big
00:05:13.480 story with Raul Castro? Is it like sequencing
00:05:15.380 we get him first and then we free Cuba?
00:05:17.260 I think this is a very big story
00:05:19.220 and I think it's very big sequencing
00:05:20.960 because right now Cuba
00:05:23.100 all these pictures of baseball games, everything
00:05:25.240 with Raul, they are, that is, these
00:05:27.300 are history. And let Americans know
00:05:29.260 what's going on right now. These people are in blackout.
00:05:31.720 They don't have running water
00:05:33.200 in many places because they've run out of
00:05:35.180 generator fuel. So you have a
00:05:37.220 power grid that was powering pumping plants
00:05:39.300 for water. That means water comes out
00:05:41.220 the faucet and water leaves through the toilet so it basically you have the basics of life not great
00:05:46.460 but at least you have that many areas in cuba right now haven't had that pat for weeks they're
00:05:50.800 carrying jugs of waters from relief stations number one number two they have no power number
00:05:56.120 three if you don't have generators at certain government buildings and that's where our guys
00:06:01.120 went to visit them it's there so number one you could take ral castro number two you just wait
00:06:07.260 for this thing to just collapse and it's about to collapse. It's not big and complex like Iran.
00:06:12.880 This community could absolutely collapse. And then you can just step in and elicit 0.96
00:06:19.900 leadership change the same way that has been done in Venezuela. And I think the next step
00:06:26.220 is here. And I think we're on the edge of a new, we are closer to being on the edge of a new Cuba 0.97
00:06:33.280 than we ever were to being on the edge of a new Iran.
00:06:36.460 Yeah, Vinny.
00:06:37.260 I just want to give, first of all, to Todd Blanche, Pat.
00:06:39.500 Say what you want.
00:06:40.760 This guy came in.
00:06:41.820 He's the acting attorney general.
00:06:43.700 He is not stopping.
00:06:45.540 Compare him to freaking Han Bondi, right, who did absolutely nothing.
00:06:49.460 And you've got to give, you know, that's – I'm not going to judge him. 0.96
00:06:52.700 Obama likes hanging out with people that murder people.
00:06:55.440 And he also likes sending airplanes of cash,
00:06:58.480 hundreds and hundreds of millions of dollars to countries that say death to America, Pat.
00:07:02.820 That's just the kind of people that he likes to hang around.
00:07:05.540 And to me, he doesn't like America.
00:07:07.500 And that's the type of action from people that don't give a damn about us. 0.99
00:07:11.480 And I never think that Obama cared about this fucking country, period. 0.98
00:07:15.960 Agree with some of what you said. 0.99
00:07:17.400 Some of what you said, and we can make the case that Trump will go to North Korea and meet with bad guys. 0.66
00:07:23.560 And that's kind of diplomacy.
00:07:25.260 To do what, though?
00:07:25.720 To try to make peace.
00:07:27.620 Yeah. 0.59
00:07:28.080 If you're going to go to a baseball game with a guy that kills people, let's hold him.
00:07:30.660 And he was poking him constantly.
00:07:32.040 Little Rocket Man's going to listen.
00:07:33.660 We're going to figure this out.
00:07:35.180 It's not good that he is launching things into the ocean near Japan.
00:07:38.600 There's a little bit different the way Trump talked about North Korea than Obama talked about anybody. 0.96
00:07:46.500 I agree, guys.
00:07:47.580 I'm just saying that presidents go to foreign countries that are enemies of ours, and they try to do diplomacy.
00:07:52.680 Yeah, but sending cash and doing the—that's a whole different situation to sending—
00:07:56.360 I agree with you.
00:07:57.240 All right.
00:07:57.820 I just want to make sure.
00:07:58.800 Guys, I'm just saying—
00:07:59.840 What am I, taking crazy bills?
00:08:00.920 I'm just saying presidents meet with bad people.
00:08:02.620 We'll get a photo op in a pack of Salem.
00:08:04.640 Holy moly around here.
00:08:06.700 All right.
00:08:07.000 But if I'm Cuba, there's one bad thing I just heard.
00:08:12.300 And it's the reason Trump goes, yeah, Pat goes, yeah.
00:08:14.620 I don't want to hear what Todd Blanchard would say.
00:08:16.160 What does Trump have to say?
00:08:17.860 And what did he say?
00:08:19.540 Cuba?
00:08:21.040 Cuba's on our mind.
00:08:22.640 And if you're a bad guy these days and you're on Trump's mind, that's no good, as the Cubans say.
00:08:29.380 because who's their best friend right down the street?
00:08:32.140 Venezuela.
00:08:32.960 Ask Maduro how he's doing these days. 0.87
00:08:34.640 Or their other friend, the Ayatollah.
00:08:36.120 How's he doing these days? 0.98
00:08:37.460 So the Cubans, the Marxists,
00:08:38.680 the guys who are still doing the revolution somehow,
00:08:44.540 we're still doing the revolution in Cuba.
00:08:47.420 That's what he keeps talking.
00:08:48.220 The revolution survived. 0.97
00:08:49.820 Okay, your people are desolate and poor, 0.57
00:08:51.920 have no money, and that leads to Obama.
00:08:55.020 This whole socialist, Marxist, communist gang gang
00:08:59.320 is just becoming just so obvious this is why we have democratic socialist campaigning
00:09:05.160 vote for the socialist guys this is what america is now yeah on the left where they're just
00:09:11.300 openly marxist this is what's going on here uh to me that's the bigger story why are we cozying
00:09:18.860 up to socialism again as if we don't know where this ends yeah but that's not new that seems to
00:09:23.120 be a consistent issue on the left is their love affair with socialism and marxism and it's just
00:09:28.160 becoming more and more extreme and more and more scary more normalized i agree openly normalized
00:09:32.620 where it used to be controversial even on the left on a touch point on tom uh saying that they're
00:09:36.840 waiting for collapse i think that's a dangerous game just due to the sheer instability that you
00:09:41.020 could cause in the region compared to what i think trump might be trying to do which is a little bit
00:09:45.240 more isolation and a slower soft regime change i think that's one of the options they have i don't
00:09:50.760 think it's the best option at all i think the best option is raul gets in an uber courtesy of the u.s 0.83
00:09:55.980 maybe SEALs, and finds his ass in New York in front of a judge magistrate in the international
00:10:02.000 court, and that we figure out how to put in temporary leadership or, you know, a stability 0.98
00:10:07.300 leadership the way we did in Venezuela. I think that's the best outcome that gets, and that we
00:10:12.720 immediately get fuel supplies for those people. I mean, if you don't think we're thinking about it,
00:10:18.400 why is the USS Nimitz, which is almost larger than Cuba itself, sitting in the Caribbean,
00:10:23.800 Why is it sitting there?
00:10:25.120 What sort of message does that send?
00:10:27.780 But I'm with you.
00:10:29.040 I don't want to just wait for it to collapse and all the plight and all those people
00:10:32.340 and then have to go clean up mess A, what just collapsed, mess B, humanitarian
00:10:37.700 and get the people back on their feet.
00:10:39.220 What does Calci say on Cuba rap?
00:10:41.160 What is Calci saying on how long it's going to take for Cuba to be done?
00:10:44.720 What position, what are people saying about Calci, about Cuba on Calci?
00:10:49.640 I'm curious.
00:10:50.300 Is there a Calci up there about Cuba?
00:10:52.480 There has to be.
00:10:53.680 Yeah, of course there is.
00:10:55.300 Just go to Calcian and type in Cuba.
00:10:56.900 Let's see what comes up.
00:11:00.060 Leaves office.
00:11:01.140 Not the Leaves office.
00:11:02.240 Will they announce a trade deal?
00:11:04.000 No.
00:11:04.200 What countries Marco Rubio visit this year?
00:11:06.620 Which countries?
00:11:07.480 Will Mexico?
00:11:08.440 No, it doesn't have anything.
00:11:09.520 There has to be something there on Cuba.
00:11:11.220 I'm surprised as well.
00:11:12.000 Just one moment of clarity.
00:11:14.720 Raul Castro is not, and correct me if I'm wrong,
00:11:18.340 he's not the sitting president.
00:11:19.620 No, no, no, he's not.
00:11:20.620 No, no, no.
00:11:21.040 He's just the symbolic.
00:11:21.920 Like Miguel Diaz-Canel guy that he's still doing the revolution.
00:11:27.200 So I think, fact check this, I think Raul Castro was like 175 years old.
00:11:31.820 94, yeah.
00:11:32.440 Okay, this guy ain't going anywhere.
00:11:34.340 But I told you already, Trump targets people above 85.
00:11:38.240 Trump likes people that are older than him.
00:11:40.360 He doesn't like him that he's older than him.
00:11:41.780 He's like, listen, you're how old?
00:11:43.400 I mean, listen, you know, Khamenei was 86.
00:11:46.560 He went after Khamenei.
00:11:47.660 Biden was older than him.
00:11:49.280 And then now he wants to go after him.
00:11:50.660 Trump doesn't like seniors.
00:11:51.920 Hey, man, he's going to be 80 in a month, guys.
00:11:56.120 Well, listen, it's his way of saying, look, I'm going to be the oldest guy in charge.
00:12:01.420 Get out.
00:12:02.200 Everyone's got to be younger than me.
00:12:03.360 So she is safe.
00:12:04.440 Putin's safe.
00:12:05.240 Anybody that's younger than Trump is safe.
00:12:06.940 Anybody older than Trump, you better watch out.
00:12:08.580 Watch out, Mitch McConnell.
00:12:09.800 Watch out.
00:12:10.820 We got something special.
00:12:11.680 Let me tell you guys before I turn it over to a guy that you guys all love.
00:12:15.000 According to the survey we did, you guys love him so much, but I don't know if you love him that much yet.
00:12:19.740 And I'll tell you afterwards why.
00:12:20.860 and I've got a challenge for everybody, but I do know you love them a lot.
00:12:24.920 Last time, we did a hat that came out, Faith Over Fear.
00:12:29.460 Do you know how many complaints we got?
00:12:30.820 Because it was a hat that we ordered less than 1,000.
00:12:32.880 I don't know what it was, maybe 500, 700.
00:12:35.120 It went like this.
00:12:36.580 Everyone's like, wait a minute.
00:12:37.800 I want to order more.
00:12:38.720 I want to.
00:12:39.060 Gone.
00:12:39.480 And we have to wait three months because our shipment takes a while to make them.
00:12:42.600 But today, I don't want that to happen to you.
00:12:44.680 And with that being said, Vinny, share with us what's the latest item
00:12:47.920 that you have available for the audience.
00:12:49.140 So, Pat, it's the hat that I'm wearing right now, which I'm going to tell you guys right now.
00:12:52.640 It's here am I, send me, has a cross here.
00:12:55.300 You want to take it off so they can see the cross on the side and what's on the back?
00:12:58.480 I'll do it like this.
00:12:59.600 Boom.
00:13:00.400 I'll take it off.
00:13:00.840 My hair's a little bit messed up.
00:13:02.660 Isaiah, chapter 6, verse 8, in the back.
00:13:04.520 And, Pat, the inspiration comes from Isaiah, chapter 6, and I know Tom knows this.
00:13:09.520 Isaiah hears the Lord speaking, and he's asking for volunteers, like, who's going to go and talk to the people and tell them to change their ways?
00:13:16.360 And Isaiah steps up, and this is what he says.
00:13:18.500 he has, and I heard the voice of the Lord saying, whom shall I send and who will go for us? And then
00:13:24.720 I said, here am I, send me. And this is what this hat stands for. It stands for answering the call
00:13:31.300 in a world where everybody stays quiet to protect themselves. This means you are willing to stand up
00:13:36.300 for your faith, for your values and the truth. Here am I, send me, basically says, stop waiting
