WARMOTH ANTI GOVERNMENT
PROTESTS HAVE ERUPTED IN CUBA
IN THE LAST WEEK OVER THE LACK
OF ACCESS TO FOOD AND BASIC
MEDICAL SUPPLIES AMID A RISE
IN COVID CASES. THE BOTTOM
LINE CUBANS ARE TIRED OF THE
HARDSHIPS AND WHAT CHANGES FOR
THE BETTER. SEVERAL RALLIES IN
SUPPORT OF THOSE PROTESTS HAVE
SIMULTANEOUSLY HAPPENED ALL
OVER THE STATE, INCLUDING
CENTRAL FLORIDA THIS MORNING.
CUBAN AMERICAN JOURNALIST
JORGE DIAZ IS HERE TO TALK
ABOUT THE MOVEMENT AND THE
EXPERIENCES HIS FAMILY HAD
BEFORE COMING TO THE U.S..
GEORGE, THANKS FOR JOINING US.
GREAT TO SEE YOU. GREAT TO BE
HERE. YOU KNOW, LET’S TAKE ME
BACK TO WHEN YOU’RE 4 YEARS
OLD. AND YOUR FAMILY LEFT
CUBA. WHAT WAS THAT LIKE? WHAT
YOU REMEMBER ABOUT THAT AND
HAVE YOU BEEN BACK SINCE.
>> WELL, NOT A LOT I CAN
REMEMBER IS WORLD THE I HAVE A
HARD TIME REMEMBERING WHAT I
HAD FOR OBVIOUSLY IT WAS, AS I
PUT THE PIECES TOGETHER
THROUGH THE EYES OF MY FAMILY.
MY BUT MY PARENTS ARE NOW I
HAVE 2 SIBLINGS INCLUDING
OLDER SISTER HAS BEEN ABLE TO
PUT TOGETHER. MUCH MORE OF A
HISTORICAL REFERENCE I’VE IT’S
IT’S IT WAS DEFINITELY A
PAINFUL JOURNEY FOR MY FAMILY.
A GREAT DEAL OF SACRIFICE
INVOLVED INTO IT AND THAT THIS
SACRIFICE WITH THIS. THEY KNEW
THAT THEY WERE GOING TO GIVE
UP WHAT THEY HAD IN ORDER FOR
THEIR CHILDREN TO HAVE A
BETTER LIFE IN THE IN THE
UNITED STATES AND THEN FAST
FORWARD AS A WORKING AS A
COLUMNIST SPORTS WRITER WITH
THE SENTINEL. I WENT BACK FOR
THE PAN AMERICAN GAMES CAN
BELIEVE IT WAS 1991 AND THAT
THAT WAS VERY EMOTIONAL
JOURNEY FOR ME BECAUSE IT IT.
I WAS ABLE TO SEE WHAT MY LIFE
WOULD HAVE BEEN. MIKE, GOT A
GLIMPSE OF THAT. HAD MY
PARENTS STAYED. AS I’VE TOLD
PEOPLE SEVERAL TIMES, IT’S IT
WAS A LITTLE BIT OF LIKE THAT.
BACK TO THE FUTURE SCENARIO
WHERE MICHAEL J FOX AND GOT TO
SEE WHAT LIGHTFOOT BEEN LIKE.
IT WASN’T A PRETTY SCENE. DO
YOU STILL FAMILY ON THE ISLAND
OR ANYONE YOU KEEP IN TOUCH
WITH. THERE’S NO ONE I KEEP IN
TOUCH WITH I HAD WHEN I WENT
BACK THERE WAS MY FATHER’S
SISTER SHE HAS SINCE PASSED
AWAY. BUT WE HAD WE HAD SOME
VERY NICE INTERACTIONS THERE.
ONE WHEN I WAS WITH DURING
THAT TIME. BUT NOBODY REALLY
CLOSE TO. SO FROM THAT TIME IN
1991 TO 2 NOW IT’S SIMILAR. DO
YOU THINK. I KNOW THAT YOU
HAVEN’T BEEN BACK. BUT JUST
BASED ON WHAT YOU.
>> SEEN AND WHAT YOU’VE BEEN
ABLE JUST GATHER OVER THE
YEARS WAS IT SIMILAR THEN TO
WHAT IT IS NOW AND WHAT’S
CHANGED IF IT HAS IT. WELL,
THERE’S BEEN A LOT OF
DIFFERENT INCARNATIONS INSTEAD
OF WHAT’S ALLOWED AND WHAT’S
NOT ALLOWED A.
>> TERMS OF BY NOW, I I
BELIEVE THAT THEY ALLOW SOME
PRIVATE ENTREPRENEURIAL STUFF
GOING ON WHICH WOULD BEEN
CLIMBDOWN FOR AGES. BUT THE
BOTTOM LINE JUSTIN, IS THAT
CRITICAL. ISSUE IN THIS IS
THERE’S NO FREEDOM SO YOU
START WITH THAT WHEN YOU START
WITH THAT PREMISE AND THAT’S
THE BASELINE OF OF PAIN AND
SUFFERING FOR THE CUBAN PEOPLE
SINCE EARLY 60’S. WHAT WAS
YOUR REACTION WHEN YOU FIRST
SAW THE PROTESTS LAST WEEK IN
CUBA. IT REALLY STIRRED UP A
LOT OF MEMORIES FOR AND SOME
OF THAT PAIN. IT WAS MY
PARENTS PAIN. AND I REALLY
JUST THOUGHT ABOUT THIS AS I
SAID, THE SACRIFICES THEY MADE
TO GET HERE BECAUSE THEY KNEW
MY DAD WORK MARGINAL JOBS. HE
HE WAS HE WORKED AS A PARKING
LOT ATTENDANT. HE WASHED
DISHES. BUT YOU KNOW, YOU KNOW
IT SOMETIMES TOOK ON 2 JOBS AT
THE SAME TIME. BUT THEY NEVER
REALLY LEAVE. THEY LEARNED
VERY LITTLE THEY MADE THEIR
WAY. AND YOU WE DID NOT STAY
ON WELFARE. WE WERE THAT MY
PARENTS WORKED HERE WE ARE.
YEAH. WHAT WOULD PARENTS WITH
THEIR REACTION BE TO WHAT IS
HAPPENING RIGHT NOW. PROBABLY
A LITTLE BIT I FOR ME IT’S
EMOTIONAL FOR THEM. IT WOULD
STIR UP A LOT BECAUSE MY DAD
WAS ALWAYS SAYING, YOU KNOW,
NEXT YEAR LIKE NEXT YEAR. I’M
GOING BACK AND THEN NEXT YEAR
BECAME THE NEXT YEAR.
UNFORTUNATELY IT. IT YOU KNOW,
BECAME 60 YEARS, BUT IT’S
ALWAYS IT’S IT’S A IT’S A
VERY. IT IT’S ALWAYS BEEN A
VOLATILE ISSUE VAULT OCEAN AND
WHERE MY FAMILY IS NOT ALONE.
OUR WE HAVE IF THERE’S
DIFFERENT THEMES AND THERE’S
DIFFERENT WAYS OF OF HOW THAT
PAIN AND SUFFERING IS
MANIFESTED, BUT IT’S IT’S
PRETTY MUCH THE SAME STORY FOR
EVERY CUBAN-AMERICAN EXILE.
WHAT IS THE THE IMPACT OF NOT
HAVING A CASTRO IN POWER. WHAT
IS THAT? DOING ON THE ISLAND
AND HOW ARE HOW DOES THAT MAKE
MAYBE SOME OF THE RESIDENTS OF
THE ISLAND RESPOND TO
DIFFERENT WAY. YOU KNOW, I
MEAN, MY IS THAT IS THAT
PLAYING A ROLE IN THIS. I
THINK SO. TO SOME EXTENT
BECAUSE I’VE GOTTEN IN TROUBLE
FOR SAYING THIS FROM SOME OF
THE FACTION AS VERY
CONSERVATIVE. BUT CASTRO WAS A
VERY CHARISMATIC GUY. ME GO ON
FOR GO BUST OR 4 HOURS. JUST
TALK AND TALK. AND HE HAD THIS
CONTROL OVER PEOPLE. HE MADE
PEOPLE BELIEVE IN HIM. THAT’S
HOW HE ROSE UP. THE POWER WAS
ABLE TO OVERTHROW BATTISTA.
BUT SO HE WAS A VERY ENGAGING
CHARACTER. WELL, THAT ONE AWAY
OBVIOUSLY. AND EVEN AS EARLY
AS HE GOT OLDER AND OLDER,
THERE’S LESS AND LESS OF THAT.
BUT CERTAINLY HIS BROTHER
DOESN’T HAVE THAT. AND
CERTAINLY THE NEW PRESIDENT
DOESN’T EITHER. SO I THINK I
THINK TIME AND ALSO THE FACT
THAT THEY DON’T HAVE THE FACE
OF THE REVOLUTION HAS GONE. SO
THAT MAKES IT I BELIEVE EASIER
FOR ESPECIALLY FOR THE YOUNGER
PEOPLE TO SAY, YOU KNOW WHAT,
THIS ISN’T WORKING OUT FORMS
YOUR DAD. I DIDN’T KNOW HIM
BUT HAD COME ACROSS HIM BEFORE
RIGHT. HE EXPLAINED THAT FOR
US. MY DAD WAS A POLICE
CAPTAIN THE UNIVERSITY OF ANNA
AND MUCH LIKE YOU FOR YOU FOR
A FRAME OF REFERENCE FOR OUR
AMERICAN FRIENDS. IT’S MUCH
LIKE PROTESTS IN THE 60’S WITH
VIETNAM. AND THINK IT WAS THE
HUB WAS A COLLEGE CAMPUS. SO
CASTRO WOULD GO TO THE ER
SAVANNAH TO KIND OF RALLY THE
TROOPS, IF YOU WILL, AND GET
GET. TO MAKE KIND OF PUT THE
FUEL THE FIRE OF THE
REVOLUTION. AND SO THERE WAS
ONE TIME THERE WAS THERE WAS A
BOUNTY ON HIM AND MY DAD KNEW
MY DAD. ESSENTIALLY GAVE HIM
HIS COAT AND HIS HAT AND GOT
HIM OUT OF THERE. AND IN MY
DAD DID NOT BELIEVE IT ALL IN
HIS POLITICS. THE BOTTOM LINE
IS MY DAD SAVED HIS LIFE AND
THEN WHEN HE CAME OVER HERE,
MY SISTER’S TALKED ABOUT THIS
SINCE I DON’T HAVE THAT FRAME
OF REFERENCE. HE CARRIED THAT
GERD BURDEN AND GUILT FOR THEM
ALL THOSE YEARS WAS THAT HE
HAD NOT DONE THAT. HOW
DIFFERENT THINGS WOULD HAVE
PLAYED OUT AND JUST LIKE TO
KILL. THAT’S TOUGH TO SWALLOW
IT IS THAT’S TOUGH TO SWALLOW
WOW. THESE PROTESTS ARE
HAPPENING ALL OVER THE STATE
OF FLORIDA AS WELL AND REALLY
ACROSS THE COUNTRY IN CENTRAL
FLORIDA. YOU’RE ABLE TO ATTEND
A PROTEST. WHAT WAS IT LIKE
GOING TO THAT AND.
>> AND WHAT DO YOU THINK THE
MESSAGE IS. SENDING BACK TO
THE ISLAND THAT THE STATES AND
THE CENTRAL FLORIDA AREA IS
PROTESTING WITH THE PEOPLE OF
CUBA. THINK IT’S LIKE FOR THE
PEOPLE ON THE ISLAND RIGHT
NOW.
>> YEAH. WHAT WAS WHAT
ORGANIZE A RALLY. YOU KIND OF
I SAW IT IS MARCOS MCCAIN WHO
PROMINENT ATTORNEY AND
ORGANIZE IT AND I THINK FOR
HIM AND EVERYONE ELSE WHO WAS
JUST LIKE WE WANT. WE WANT
PEOPLE TO SEE US, YOU KNOW,
IT’S IT’S IT’S IT’S NOT. IT’S
BEEN A HUGE STRUGGLE FOR FOR
ALL FOR ALL OUR FAMILIES AND
FOR US PERSONALLY. AND I THINK
IT WAS A WAY TO BOND TOGETHER
TO STRENGTHEN OUR TIES AND TO
LET OBVIOUSLY THE PEOPLE OF
CUBA KNOW THAT WE HAVE THEIR
BACK. LORD KNOWS IF THEY WOULD
EVER SEE ANY OF IMAGES. BUT
SIMILAR TO WHAT’S OBVIOUSLY
GOING ON A BIGGER SCALE IN
MIAMI. I THINK IT WAS A WAY TO
GET TOGETHER A CATHARTIC
MOMENT TO SAY, HEY, YOU KNOW,
WE’VE WE’VE MADE IT OUT, BUT
WE STILL REMEMBER YOU. WE KNOW
FREEDOM. IT IS CERTAINLY THE
CENTRAL POINT HERE. BUT WHAT
DO YOU THINK?
>> WAS THE TIPPING POINT TO TO
REACH THIS LEVEL TO GET PEOPLE
IN THE STREETS PROTESTING FOR
DAYS ON WHAT WAS THE WHAT WAS
THE TIPPING POINT. I THINK
EVEN THOUGH PEOPLE COVID IS
PART OF IT. YOU DON’T THINK
COVID IS THE DRIVING FACTOR.
PEOPLE WERE SCREAMING.
>> BUT DODD, WHICH MEANS
LIBERTY. THAT’S WHAT THEY
WANT. THEY WANT FREEDOM. THE
TIPPING POINT IS THAT RASH,
EVERYTHING IS RATION. IT’S
GOTTEN EXACERBATED TO THE
POINT WHERE THERE’S LESS AND
LESS FOOD. THERE’S LEFT LESS
NECESSITIES PEOPLE ARE JUST
FED UP AND EVEN THOUGH THIS
HAS BEEN GONE TO DIFFERENT
INCARNATIONS OF. MOMENTS WHERE
THINGS HAVE BEEN A LITTLE
BETTER. REMEMBER I WAS IN
CUBA, THERE WAS LIKE TOILET
PAPER AND TOOTHPASTE AND
THINGS OF THAT NATURE. THOSE
WERE COMMODITIES. YOU KNOW,
THAT’S ONE OF THE THINGS THAT
LET YOU KNOW IF YOU GAVE THE
THE MAID AT THE HOTEL, A ROLL
OF TOILET PAPER SHEET. YOU MAY
AS WELL GIVEN HER OF OUR GOAL.
>> NOW THERE HAVE BEEN GROWING
CALLS FOR THE FEDERAL
GOVERNMENT TO STEP IN AND HELP
THE PEOPLE OF CUBA COMING UP
DIAZ. WE’LL EXPLAIN WHY
PROVIDING ASSISTANCE.
METEOROLOGIST JONATHAN KEGGES. YES, THIS IS NEWS 6 AT 06:00AM GETTING RESULTS.
>> THIS IS THE WEEKLY ON
CLICKORLANDO DOT COM WITH
JUSTIN WARMOTH.
>> WELCOME BACK. THE LACK OF
FREEDOM IN CUBA. COUPLE WITH
SHORTAGES OF FOOD AND MEDICINE
THROUGHOUT THE PANDEMIC HAS
LED TO WIDESPREAD PROTESTS ON
THE ISLAND. AND HERE IN THE
UNITED STATES. CUBA’S
GOVERNMENT BLAMES THE ECONOMIC
CRISIS SQUARELY ON THE DECADES
OLD U.S. TRADE EMBARGO. BUT
THAT’S NOT SOLELY TO BLAME FOR
THE CURRENT SITUATION CUBAN
AMERICAN JOURNALIST JORGE DIAZ
IS BACK WITH US NOW TO EXPLAIN
WHY. IT IS SO DIFFICULT TO
FIND. A FOOD AND BE. YOU KNOW,
WHEN YOU DO FIND FOOD AND
EVERY OTHER COMMODITIES IT IS
SO EXPENSIVE AND SO A LOT OF
THESE FOLKS WHO LIVE ON THE
ISLAND. WAIT IN THESE LONG
LINES RIGHT. YES, I MEAN, IT’S
SUCH A DIFFICULT PROCESS TO
JUST LIVE. AND THEN YOU HAVE
COVID ON TOP OF EVERYTHING.
AND THIS IS ALL PART OF THE
MESSAGING FROM THE GOVERNMENT
IS HEY, UNDER THIS COMMUNISM
COMMUNIST LEADERSHIP. WE WILL
PROVIDE YOU BASIC ESSENTIALS,
HEALTH CARE AND FOOD AND
EVERYTHING LIKE THAT. AND SO
THIS IS NOT AND IT’S NOT
HAPPENING RIGHT. I MEAN,
THAT’S THAT’S THE BOTTOM LINE
HERE. NO, THERE’S NO
ESSENTIALS AND OUT THERE. THE
EMBARGO HAS ALWAYS BEEN A
POLITICAL HOT POTATO. BUT THE
BOTTOM LINE IS THAT BOTH THE
DEMOCRATS AND THE REPUBLICANS
HAVE SUPPORTED FOR THE MOST
PART.
>> SUPPORTED THE EMBARGO THAT
BEEN SOME SOME OBVIOUSLY
CHANGES THROUGHOUT. HEY, THEY
CAN TRADE WITH PRETTY MUCH
ANYBODY ELSE IN THE WORLD THAT
THE EMBARGO BECOMES A BOGEYMAN
FOR FOR FEW, FOR THE CUBAN
GOVERNMENT TO BLAME FOR THEIR
OWN FAILURES FAILING THEIR OWN
PEOPLE. I THINK JUST YEAH. IT
EVERYTHING BECOMES POLITICAL
AND CERTAINLY A LOT OF PEOPLE
ARE WONDERING.
>> UNITED STATES STEP IN HERE.
MAYBE YOU KNOW, HERE IN
FLORIDA LIKE HEY, CAN SOMEONE
DO SOMETHING IS THERE ANYTHING
THAT THE UNITED STATES
GOVERNMENT CAN DO MAKE THIS
SITUATION BETTER FOR THE
PEOPLE ON THE ISLAND. VERY
EMOTIONAL ISSUE. BUT I’M OFTEN
SEE A REAL US AND THE SHORT
ANSWER IS NO. I DON’T SEE
ANYTHING BECAUSE.
>> THERE’S NO PATH HERE.
THERE’S YOU CAN OFFER SUPPORT.
YOU REALLY CAN’T. YOU KNOW,
HE’S TRYING TO SEND FOOD AND
WHATNOT. THERE’S REALLY NO
MECHANISM TO GET TO THE
PEOPLE. SO THEY JUST PROBABLY
OF THE PEOPLE WITH THE POWER
CONFISCATED. LET’S BE HONEST.
WE’RE NOT GOING TO ATTACK YOU,
IT’S NOT GOING TO CUBA SO
THAT’S OFF THE TABLE SO I I’M
BEEN RESIGNED. I THOUGHT ABOUT
THIS FOR ALL THIS WEEK AND
IT’S I’M RESIGNED TO THE FACT
THAT THIS HOWEVER, EMOTIONALLY
CHARGED. THIS IS GOING TO BE I
SEE VERY LITTLE MOVEMENT
HAPPENING IN TERMS OF ANYTHING
OF SUBSTANCE, IT’S GOING TO
HAVE TO KEEP HAPPENING FROM
WITHIN. WERE YOU SURPRISED TO
MIGUEL DIAZ CAN NOW KEEP
PRESIDENT IT TO SOME OF THE
MISTAKES TO WHY A TO
UNDERSTANDING WHY THE PEOPLE
OF CUBA PROTESTING.
>> YEAH. I MEAN, THEY.
>> IT WAS ENOUGH ROPE, BUT BUT
STILL, EVEN THEN WHAT THEY
DID. IF YOU NOTICE, THEY THEY
SHUT DOWN THE INTERNET. YEAH.
SO THAT SPEAKS TO BUT CONTROL
AND POWER. AND YOU KNOW, IT’S
REALLY SAD AND TALK TO TRYING
TO PROCESS THIS IS THAT. YOU
KNOW, THIS IS THEIR OWN
PEOPLE. THEIR OWN PEOPLE AND
IT’S IT’S THERE. IT’S A VERY
SMALL FRACTION OF PEOPLE
CHARGE. BUT HOW DO YOU DO THAT
TO YOUR OWN PEOPLE. NOT SLEEP
AT NIGHT. YEAH. AND I THINK A
LOT OF PEOPLE WONDER THAT THAT
SAME QUESTION HERE ON THE
ISLAND.
>> YOU KNOW, FOR HERE IN THE
UNITED STATES ABOUT PEOPLE ON
THE ISLAND. I THINK JUST. AS
SOMEONE WHO OF YOU ARE AND
THEY KNOW ABOUT BUT THEY. THEY
DON’T KNOW ALL THE ALL THE
EXPERIENCES THAT SO MANY
PEOPLE HAVE HAVE HAD. BUT I
THINK THE THE WHAT’S THE TAKE
AWAY FOR FOR SOMEONE IN
CENTRAL FLORIDA FOR WHAT’S
HAPPENING RIGHT NOW. WHAT DO
YOU THINK THAT TAKE AWAY
SHOULD BE. I THINK THE TAKE
AWAY SHOULD BE TO.
>> UNDERSTAND OUR STORY AND
UNDERSTAND OUR PAIN AND
UNDERSTAND OUR HISTORY AND NO
ONE IS TAKING TO THE CERTAINLY
TO CAUSE COMMOTION IN THE
WRONG WAY. IT CERTAINLY IS A
WAY FOR US TO BE ABLE TO TELL
OUR STORY IN THE PROPER MANNER
THAN OUR STORY IS IS REALLY A
VERY TRAGIC ONE FOR ALL CUBAN
FAMILIES THAT’S WHAT I HOPE
THAT PEOPLE HAVEN’T LIVED
EXPERIENCE BECAUSE, YOU SHE
LOOKS THROUGH SUMMER AND YOU
DON’T BUT MAYBE HELP THEM
UNDERSTAND WHY WE’RE HERE. AND
WHY THIS IS SUCH AN EMOTIONAL
HOT 0, 4, FOR THE CUBAN. CAN
YOU HELP US BETTER THE MAKEUP
OF THE ISLAND. AND. THERE ARE
PEOPLE WHO OUR PRO GOVERNMENT
AND AND PRO REGIME. RIGHT. I
MEAN, THAT IS THAT I MEAN,
THERE ARE THERE ARE POCKETS
AND PROBABLY A WIDE MARGIN,
TOO. LIKE WHAT WHAT’S THE
MAKEUP LIKE? IS IT IS IT 5050
IS IT 40’S. I MEAN, I WOULD I
WOULD TRY TO UNDERSTAND I
WOULD BE THROWING DARTS. SO
BUT BUT HERE’S HERE’S WHAT DO
YOU TALK ABOUT CONTROL. WHEN I
WAS THERE AND I ASSUME THEY
STILL HAVE IT.
>> THEY HAVE ON EVERY BLOCK.
THERE YOU SEE SIGNED SOMEBODYS
HOME THAT WAS WOULD SAY AND
COMEY DAY. BUT A LOT FUN SAID
THAT SHOWN, WHICH IS THE
COMMITTEE FOR THE DEFENSE OF
THE REVOLUTION AND TO PUT IT
IN SIMPLE TERMS THAT WE CAN
ALL UNDERSTAND THEY’RE ALL
SNITCHES SO IF YOU WERE TO
JUST SAY ANYTHING BAD ABOUT
THE GOVERNMENT.
>> GUESS WHAT, IT MIGHT CIRCLE
BACK TO PEOPLE IN POWER AND
YOU MIGHT END UP IN JAIL.
THAT’S HOW THEY WORK. I MEAN,
THEY’VE THEY’VE ARRESTED A
BUNCH PEOPLE. SOME PEOPLE WILL
DISAPPEAR NEVER TO BE HEARD
FROM AGAIN AND THAT’S HOW
THAT’S HOW THEY DO THINGS
OVER. THERE ARE NO ACTIVISTS,
NO ACTIVE. SOME THERE IS
ACTIVISM VERY MUCH SO. I MEAN,
BUT BUT THERE ARE PEOPLE OUT
OF ACTIVISTS HAVE BEEN HAVE
BEEN TORTURED. THEY’VE BEEN
KILLED. THEY’VE BEEN PUT IN
JAIL. AND IT’S JUST DIFFERENT
BACK FACTIONS. THERE’S ONE
LADIES IN WHITE IS THEY
DRESSED IN WHITE. AND THEY’VE
BEEN VERY VOCAL AND SOME OF
THEM HAVE HAVE SUFFERED NO
CONSEQUENCES, INCLUDING DEATH.
SO THAT’S HOW YOU KEEP POWER
OVER YOUR OWN PEOPLE. IS THAT
YOU, YOU KNOW, YOU PUT YOUR
PHONE DOWN. I THINK SO MANY
AMERICANS TO AND SOME PEOPLE
HAVE BEEN TO CUBA WHEN WHEN
FORMER PRESIDENT LIFTED ALL
THAT IN AND.
>> AMERICANS WERE ABLE TO
TRAVEL AND YOU SAW ROCK GROUPS
GO OVER THERE AND YOU SAW CRUZ
IS GOING THROUGH AND THEY GOT
TO EXPERIENCE CUBA AT FACE
VALUE. YES, IT’S NOT TRUE.
CUBA. EXACTLY. AND I THINK
THAT’S YOU KNOW, THERE ARE A
LOT OF TV SHOWS YOU GET TO SEE
THE CARS. BY ALL ACCOUNTS,
IT’S THIS PLACES A GREAT PLACE
TO TAKE A VACATION WHICH I
GUESS YOU COULD BE. YOU COULD
SAY THE SAME THING ABOUT ABOUT
HAITI AND THE DOMINICAN
REPUBLIC ABOUT SO MANY PLACES
THAT HAVE BEAUTIFUL
LANDSCAPES. BUT THE COLD, THE
THE. STATICS. CAUSE. I MEAN,
IT YOU SEE THAT YOU’RE LIKE
WHAT’S THE PROBLEM HERE. BUT
THAT’S A FACEBOOK THAT’S AT
FACE VALUE. DON’T KNOW. I
REMEMBER TALKING TO SOMEONE
DURING THE PAN AM GAMES.
>> AND AT THAT TIME THEY
REALLY THEY DID NOT LET.
>> LOCALS GO.
>> TO THE TOURIST PLACES MY
AND HAD TO GET A PASS CAN SEE
ME AT A HOTEL. SHE WAS LIKE AN
80 YEAR-OLD LADY LIKE PUTS
RIGHT RIDICULOUS IS THAT SO. I
THERE WAS WE ARE WE’RE AT THE
BEACH IN SOME GENERAL WAS
TALKING TO SOME GENTLEMAN AND
ACROSS THE WAY WAS ALL THE
TOURIST HOTELS BECAUSE GERMANY
A FRENCH MEAN THEY’VE HAD THEY
PUT A LOT OF MONEY INTO
BUILDING SOME OF THESE PLACES
WITH PARTNERSHIPS IN CUBA. AND
THE GUY SAID IT MIGHT AS WELL
BEEN MOCKED BE MARS. YOU KNOW,
I’M LOOKING ACROSS AT MARCH
NEVER SEE IT. CUBA CUBAN
AMERICANS AND HELP ME BETTER
UNDERSTAND THIS.
>> THEY DIDN’T THEY NOT. ALL
OF THEM WERE IN FAVOR OF THIS
AND A LOT OR ACTUALLY THEY
DID. WHAT WAS THE ISSUE THERE?
THEY DID NOT WANT. AMERICAN.
TOURISM GOING TO THE ISLAND TO
HELP BECAUSE THEY KNEW WHERE
THAT MONEY WAS GOING LIKE THEY
KNEW THAT THEY KNEW ALL UTLEY
WHERE THOSE DOLLARS WERE GOING
TO MAKE IT WHO THEY WERE GOING
TO AFFECT, RIGHT. YES, THAT’S
YEAH. BECAUSE IT ENDS UP MORE
IN THE POCKETS OF THE
GOVERNMENT. THAT’S WHY I’VE
NEVER BEGRUDGE ANYONE GO
THERE. I’M NOT GOING. INTO
PERSONAL MATE WITH YOU. BUT
FOR ME, I’LL TAKE A PASS
BECAUSE OF WHAT EXACTLY WHAT
YOU GOT IT GOT IT. EXPECT THE
NEXT FEW WEEKS. THE NEXT FEW
MONTHS TO LOOK LIKE BECAUSE I
KNOW THAT THERE WAS THAT THERE
WAS A MASS EXODUS IN THE 90’S.
DO YOU EXPECT SOMETHING
SIMILAR TO HAPPEN IN THE NEXT
FEW MONTHS. NEXT YEAR. SO.
THAT’S A VERY GOOD QUESTION. I
REALLY WISH I HAD AN ANSWER. I
MEAN, I THINK THAT WHAT
HAPPENS PEOPLE START COMING
OVER HERE, THERE’S ALREADY
IMMIGRATION, AS YOU WELL KNOW.
>> IT’S A REALLY VOLATILE
TOPIC THAT THE SUBJECT IT’S
VERY REGARDLESS OF WHETHER
REPUBLICANS DEMOCRATS, IT’S
IT’S JUST HARD THING TO GET
WRAP AROUND. YOU’VE GOT HUMAN
MISERY ALL OVER THE WORLD AND
PEOPLE ARE COMING. THE UNITED
STATES WANT AN OPPORTUNITY
UNITED STATES AND DO SO. WHERE
DO YOU DRAW THE LINE OUT IT’S
GOING TO BE. I WOULD SAY I’M
PASSING THE BUCK, BUT IT’S
BEYOND MY PAY GRADE HER TO TRY
TO FIGURE OUT EXACTLY HOW
THOSE DYNAMICS WILL PLAY OUT.
IF PEOPLE START COMING OVER
HERE.
>> AND A BIG THANK YOU TO
GEORGE DIAZ FOR SHARING HIS
STORY AND GIVING US SOME
INSIGHT INTO THE CUBAN
AMERICAN EXPERIENCE FOR THE
LATEST ON THE SITUATION IN
CUBA AND THE RALLIES PLANNED
HERE IN CENTRAL FLORIDA, JUST
HEAD TO CLICK ORLANDO, DOT
COM. I’M JUSTIN WARMOTH. HOPE
