Transcript
- 0:00Speaker 1: I'm going to ask you to do something for me
- 0:02Speaker 1: today that is extremely important. To call your US senator
- 0:06Speaker 1: and your US congressmen to save the lives of men
- 0:09Speaker 1: and women that risk their lives for our men and
- 0:12Speaker 1: women in uniform in Afghanistan. I need you to share
- 0:17Speaker 1: this podcast with your family and friends as well, because
- 0:20Speaker 1: there are seventy plus thousand lives that are at risk
- 0:24Speaker 1: right now, translators and their families that are on kill
- 0:28Speaker 1: lists of the Taliban. The Taliban is trying to find
- 0:32Speaker 1: these individuals that help the US military for the last
- 0:35Speaker 1: twenty years. Right now, the US needs to evacuate immediately
- 0:40Speaker 1: the Afghan translators that help the US military for the
- 0:43Speaker 1: last twenty years. We're talking about seventy thousand plus translators
- 0:48Speaker 1: that need to be evacuated. In the Biden administration left
- 0:51Speaker 1: them behind to be slaughtered by the Taliban. We promise
- 0:56Speaker 1: these translators that if they worked to America that we
- 0:58Speaker 1: would give them safety, that we would evacuate them and
- 1:01Speaker 1: their families so that they wouldn't be massacred in the
- 1:04Speaker 1: streets by the Taliban. We swore to them that they
- 1:08Speaker 1: were going to be a part of America and that
- 1:10Speaker 1: we were never going to leave them behind, and this
- 1:13Speaker 1: administration did exactly that. Now, even George Bush forty three
- 1:19Speaker 1: is warning what's gonna happen. He says that quote makes
- 1:21Speaker 1: him sad. What is happening right now in Afghanistan. We're
- 1:27Speaker 1: gonna have more about that coming up in just a moment,
- 1:30Speaker 1: But before we get to that, we have another problem
- 1:32Speaker 1: that's happening right now, and that is the Biden administration
- 1:36Speaker 1: does not want any Cubans coming to America, telling Cubans
- 1:41Speaker 1: stay in your country. Maybe you get killed, maybe you
- 1:44Speaker 1: get beaten, maybe you get you get thrown in prison,
- 1:47Speaker 1: maybe you disappear, but do not make that sea voyage
- 1:51Speaker 1: to the US. You will not be able to enter
- 1:53Speaker 1: the United States of America. This coming from the same
- 1:56Speaker 1: administration that has an open border policy on the Southern Order. Now,
- 2:01Speaker 1: why is it that this administration seems to be backing
- 2:04Speaker 1: the Castro regime. Why is it that this administration is
- 2:08Speaker 1: telling people that genuinely have a reason to fear for
- 2:11Speaker 1: their lives, that genuinely genuinely need to seek asylum in
- 2:15Speaker 1: the US based on what can happen to them and
- 2:18Speaker 1: their family, to not come to America. Why is it
- 2:22Speaker 1: that they are supporting a communist regime while the people
- 2:25Speaker 1: are trying to rise up against that regime. Why are
- 2:28Speaker 1: they basically being an allied to the Castro family. We'll
- 2:33Speaker 1: take a listen to what the Biden administration had to say.
- 2:36Speaker 1: The same Biden administration is in favor of an open border.
- 2:39Speaker 1: The same Biden administration says, come to America across that border,
- 2:43Speaker 1: and we'll give you a hotel room, We'll give you food,
- 2:45Speaker 1: we'll give you water, we'll give you whatever you need. Hell,
- 2:47Speaker 1: we'll give you stimulus checks if you come to America.
- 2:53Speaker 1: But they don't want real communists coming from Cuba, people
- 2:57Speaker 1: that could come to America and could warn other Americans,
- 3:00Speaker 1: don't do it. I've lived under this type of regime.
- 3:04Speaker 1: Don't become a communist nation. That is exactly why they're
- 3:09Speaker 1: making it clear that you're not welcome in America from Cuba.
- 3:12Speaker 1: We're not going to protect you or save you. Take
- 3:14Speaker 1: a listen. Allow me to be clear. If you take
- 3:19Speaker 1: to the sea, you will not come to the United States.
- 3:24Speaker 1: The time is never right to attempt migration by sea.
- 3:28Speaker 1: To those who risk their lives doing so, this risk
- 3:33Speaker 1: is not worth taking. Again, I repeat, do not risk
- 3:38Speaker 1: your life attempting to enter the United States illegally. You
- 3:42Speaker 1: will not come to the United States. Hold on a second.
- 3:47Speaker 1: What happens when you risk your life where the coyote
- 3:49Speaker 1: is coming across the southern border, we let you in.
- 3:52Speaker 1: When you risk your life and you can't swim coming
- 3:54Speaker 1: across the Rio grand what happens we let you in.
- 3:57Speaker 1: So what changed to make things even worse? You want
- 4:01Speaker 1: to know what's happening. Joe Biden has actually lift sanctions
- 4:03Speaker 1: on Venezuela now, giving Cuba a lifeline. That's right. This happened,
- 4:08Speaker 1: and the media is not covering it. So right now,
- 4:10Speaker 1: when I tell you this, do me a favor. Share
- 4:15Speaker 1: this broadcast with your family and friends. Share the link
- 4:18Speaker 1: on social media anywhere you're on social media, because this
- 4:22Speaker 1: is what the US Department of Treasury actually did on
- 4:25Speaker 1: Monday that no one in the media is talking about.
- 4:27Speaker 1: This is supporting communist Cuba and their dictators. The US
- 4:32Speaker 1: Department of Treasury randomly on Monday lifted sanctions on the
- 4:38Speaker 1: export of gas to socialist Venezuela, a boom to the
- 4:41Speaker 1: dictatorship in Cuba. That's right, it will help Cuba giving
- 4:47Speaker 1: them a lifeline. This is a decision they made to
- 4:52Speaker 1: try to help the communist government in Cuba. Now Communist
- 4:56Speaker 1: Cuba struggling to suppress mounting opposition and calls for the
- 5:00Speaker 1: regime's total obliteration. The US government, under the leadership of
- 5:05Speaker 1: Joe Biden, gave them a lifeline. The US Often of
- 5:07Speaker 1: Foreign Assets Controls, also known as o FAC, issued a
- 5:12Speaker 1: general license number forty permitting all transactions and activities related
- 5:17Speaker 1: to the exportation or re exportation directly or indirectly of
- 5:22Speaker 1: liquefied petroleum gas to Venezuela as well as the socialist
- 5:26Speaker 1: regimes state owned affiliates, specifically resending restrictions that then President
- 5:32Speaker 1: Donald Trump imposed via three executive orders in twenty eighteen
- 5:36Speaker 1: and nineteen. The license remains valid through July the tenth
- 5:40Speaker 1: of twenty twenty two next year. Now, the PDVSA is
- 5:46Speaker 1: a state owned company mandaging the nations and some of
- 5:50Speaker 1: the world's largest oil reserves in Venezuela. It fell under
- 5:55Speaker 1: socialist control in nineteen ninety eight, when Hugo Chavez nationalized
- 5:59Speaker 1: the team. With socialist cronies in charge, Venezuela's oil production
- 6:04Speaker 1: began to decline at a rapid rate, falling to levels
- 6:07Speaker 1: not seen since nineteen forty seven by mid twenty twenty.
- 6:13Speaker 1: Despite abundant supply, the mismanagement is so great the nation
- 6:16Speaker 1: routinely experiences severe gasoline shortages in their own country. Oh
- 6:21Speaker 1: FAC left intact sanctions on individual Venezuelan government officials, many
- 6:26Speaker 1: of whom allegedly maintained ties with drug cartels, human trafficking
- 6:30Speaker 1: organizations or terracells and close ties. You guessed it to Cuba.
- 6:37Speaker 1: The first vice president of the United Socialist Party of Venezuela,
- 6:41Speaker 1: as well as Maduro's second command have for years been
- 6:43Speaker 1: identified as a major figure in the international drug trade,
- 6:47Speaker 1: with information informants naming him as a leader of the
- 6:50Speaker 1: Cartel de los Solis, the group run out of Venezuelan
- 6:54Speaker 1: military operates on international cocaine ring. Formally the richest nation
- 7:00Speaker 1: of Latin America following the decline of previously the richest nation,
- 7:03Speaker 1: Cuba under communism due to its vast oil reserves. Years
- 7:07Speaker 1: of socialist mismanagement had driven the Venezuelan economy into the ground.
- 7:11Speaker 1: Inflation in particular, has destroyed citizens personal wealth and forced
- 7:15Speaker 1: the majority of Venezuelans to basically beg for any type
- 7:22Speaker 1: of food and water. At twenty study revealed the majority
- 7:26Speaker 1: of transactions in Venezuela occurred using the US dollar as
- 7:29Speaker 1: a medium, not the local currency of Venezuela. The economy
- 7:35Speaker 1: has deteriorated to the extent that citizens have resorted to
- 7:39Speaker 1: literally going through dumpsters to avoid starvation, and lieu of
- 7:44Speaker 1: stable healthcare, infrastructure of Venezuela has had to improvise means
- 7:48Speaker 1: of tending to their sick and injured. One viral video
- 7:52Speaker 1: depicting locals using the back of a garage truck as
- 7:56Speaker 1: an ambulance. Insert Cuba. Now that we've lifted these sanctions,
- 8:02Speaker 1: Cuba and the Cuban Communists agents are now going to
- 8:06Speaker 1: be able to use their resources to help Venezuela with
- 8:11Speaker 1: their oil. This is a lifeline now, as you know.
- 8:15Speaker 1: Starting last week, thousands of Cubans cooked to the street
- 8:18Speaker 1: of at least twenty cities demanding an end of communism
- 8:20Speaker 1: on the island. A Protesters shouted down with communism and
- 8:25Speaker 1: blank Diaz Canal, referencing the nation's puppet president, whom Raoul
- 8:31Speaker 1: Castro appointed to be the regime's public face. As He's
- 8:34Speaker 1: now ninety plus years old, So what's happened since then?
- 8:38Speaker 1: They're calling it bloody Monday in Cuba, as hundreds are
- 8:41Speaker 1: likely missing. Police use real bullets to fire into the
- 8:45Speaker 1: crowds of protesters, killing countless, and a near nationwide internet
- 8:49Speaker 1: blackout has severely limited the ability of protesters to share
- 8:52Speaker 1: updates and images from Cuba, but the little that has
- 8:55Speaker 1: trickled out suggests the island has experienced another wave of
- 9:00Speaker 1: ends strong protests on Monday that his triggers severe communist repression.
- 9:05Speaker 1: Thousands of Cubans took the streets of nearly every major
- 9:09Speaker 1: city in the country, peacefly assembling to demand an endo communism,
- 9:14Speaker 1: and that's when the communist regime came out to kill them.
- 9:17Speaker 1: So what are we saying to them. We're not saying
- 9:19Speaker 1: rise up, We're not saying we stand with the people
- 9:21Speaker 1: of Cuba. No. Instead, what we're doing is this administration's
- 9:26Speaker 1: helping Cuba and telling you do not get on a
- 9:29Speaker 1: boat and do not try to come to America because
- 9:31Speaker 1: if you do, you will be sent home. I want
- 9:37Speaker 1: you to imagine if this type of message that this
- 9:41Speaker 1: administration is sending about what's going on in Cuba was
- 9:44Speaker 1: actually said about the southern border. How different the anarchy
- 9:49Speaker 1: and chaos at the southern border would be, how different
- 9:53Speaker 1: it would be that if we would have a closed
- 9:55Speaker 1: border instead of an open border. But again the Department
- 9:58Speaker 1: of Insecurity secretary threatening Cuba refugees, saying, do not attempt
- 10:01Speaker 1: to come to the US illegally. What do you think
- 10:03Speaker 1: They're going to go through their country and say, Hey,
- 10:05Speaker 1: I'm being persecuted, my family members are being killed in
- 10:07Speaker 1: the streets. Hey can I get asylum in America? You
- 10:10Speaker 1: think that's going to work out for them? They don't
- 10:13Speaker 1: want people coming in from Cuba because they actually have
- 10:17Speaker 1: lived under communism. They know how god awful it is,
- 10:20Speaker 1: and they'll warn other Americans do not ever vote for this.
- 10:24Speaker 1: You don't want it. That's why they don't want these
- 10:26Speaker 1: Cuban individuals in America, and that's the only reason why
- 10:30Speaker 1: the Department of Home in Security comes out threatening Cubans
- 10:32Speaker 1: who are being threatened by the Castro regime. Allow me
- 10:38Speaker 1: to be clear, if you take to the sea, you
- 10:42Speaker 1: will not come to the United States. The time is
- 10:46Speaker 1: never right to attempt migration by sea. To those who
- 10:50Speaker 1: risk their lives doing so. This risk is not worth taking. Again,
- 10:57Speaker 1: I repeat, do not risk your life attempting to enter
- 11:01Speaker 1: the United States illegally. You will not come to the
- 11:05Speaker 1: United States there. It is. That's that's how much of
- 11:09Speaker 1: a threat real communism is to what this regime is
- 11:13Speaker 1: trying to do, the Biden regime, and we are backing, supporting,
- 11:17Speaker 1: and advocating for a communist regime. That is what they're
- 11:20Speaker 1: doing right here, period, plain and simple. That's what they're
- 11:25Speaker 1: advocating for. Period. There's only one reason why they are
- 11:30Speaker 1: advocating for this, only one. They want communism in America.
- 11:39Speaker 1: That's what they want. They need it desperately. And if
- 11:44Speaker 1: you allow Cubans to come in and you allow Cubans
- 11:46Speaker 1: to warn people, you allow Cubans to tell the real
- 11:49Speaker 1: story of what happens. I mean, you look at the egregious,
- 11:53Speaker 1: inhumane actions of this administration over the last forty eight hours.
- 11:58Speaker 1: You'll leave seventy plus thousand to die, to be taken
- 12:01Speaker 1: out in the streets, to be murdered, children, to be
- 12:04Speaker 1: murdered and tortured. Don't forget that in Afghanistan, we left
- 12:09Speaker 1: the translators and their families behind to be massacred by
- 12:12Speaker 1: the Taliban. We've soldiers that we trained have been massacred
- 12:17Speaker 1: by the Taliban in live video. Because we left. You
- 12:22Speaker 1: have a president and Donald Trump that said this is
- 12:25Speaker 1: a bad decision. You have another president who has also
- 12:28Speaker 1: said this is a bad decision, George Bush saying it
- 12:32Speaker 1: makes him sad because he knows that innocent people are
- 12:36Speaker 1: being axed right now as we speak, being hunted down
- 12:39Speaker 1: Afghanistan because we left, all because of an arbitrary BS
- 12:43Speaker 1: date that was set by Joe Biden's regime, and the
- 12:48Speaker 1: same thing that we're seeing in Cuba right now. Come
- 12:50Speaker 1: across the southern border. Hell, we'll basically help you. We'll
- 12:52Speaker 1: give you a hotel, we'll give you food, we'll give
- 12:54Speaker 1: you water, we'll give you stimulus checks because you're the
- 12:56Speaker 1: right type of person will vote for socialism. But real
- 13:00Speaker 1: hardcore socialists people under real hardcore socialist regimes. Nope, we
- 13:05Speaker 1: don't want you here. You're coming from Cuba. You'll warn
- 13:08Speaker 1: people how crappy it is, how inhumane it is. You're
- 13:12Speaker 1: not allowed. You're not allowed to come in here. We're
- 13:15Speaker 1: not going to allow you to come in here. Nope, sorry,
- 13:17Speaker 1: you can't come in here. That we will not allow.
- 13:22Speaker 1: You are not allowed to be here. That is something
- 13:26Speaker 1: that is too great of a threat to our regime
- 13:28Speaker 1: and what we're trying to build, which is a communist,
- 13:30Speaker 1: socialist nation. Look at just as what's happening there. Havana
- 13:38Speaker 1: has effectively run Venezuela for years. A lot of people
- 13:40Speaker 1: don't realize that, and we live sanctions on Venezuela on
- 13:46Speaker 1: Monday randomly, no one in the media is talking about this. Cuba,
- 13:50Speaker 1: the regime's a facto colonial overlord, will now secure much
- 13:55Speaker 1: need economic windfall im and it's struggled to contain both
- 13:57Speaker 1: the Chinese coronavirus and the wave of democratic protests. So
- 14:01Speaker 1: we help them out and give them a lifeline. The
- 14:05Speaker 1: easing of these economic restrictions against Caracas will likely provide
- 14:09Speaker 1: a massive economic boost in the socialist dictatorship under Maduro,
- 14:13Speaker 1: which has maintained power illegally through the military since the
- 14:17Speaker 1: expiration of his last legitimate term in twenty nineteen, and
- 14:21Speaker 1: by extension Cuba, they're in charge. Basically, Havana has effectively
- 14:26Speaker 1: run in Venezuela for years. Maduro defectors and foreign relations
- 14:29Speaker 1: experts have reported that the country realizes heavily on nearly
- 14:33Speaker 1: a one hundred thousand Cuban communist agents to manage a
- 14:36Speaker 1: national revolution since at least twenty and ten. Reports further
- 14:42Speaker 1: indicate that Cuba uses its colony as a staging ground
- 14:45Speaker 1: for its drug trafficking operations and as a meeting place
- 14:50Speaker 1: for its allied terrorist groups like the Iranian back Kesblah organization.
- 14:55Speaker 1: So there you have it. Let's lift some financial sanctions
- 14:59Speaker 1: on as well a given Cuba lifeline so that they
- 15:02Speaker 1: can keep their country under their rule. Have you heard
- 15:07Speaker 1: the administration come out and demand that the Internet be
- 15:11Speaker 1: turned back on. No, you got a near nationwide internet blackout.
- 15:16Speaker 1: Nothing from this country, nothing from our leadership. One man
- 15:22Speaker 1: that understands a lot of this spoke out about it,
- 15:25Speaker 1: Senator Marco Rubio, about the political protest in Cuba. Listen
- 15:30Speaker 1: to how enraged he is. Can open up all you want.
- 15:33Speaker 1: We can pass a bill here. It says open to Cuba,
- 15:35Speaker 1: one hundred percent open. You can do whatever you want,
- 15:37Speaker 1: full free trade, You can do whatever you want. At
- 15:40Speaker 1: the end of the day, the Cuban regime will control
- 15:42Speaker 1: that opening. It's not just what we want to do,
- 15:44Speaker 1: it's what they want to do. You want to do tourism.
- 15:46Speaker 1: We tried that in twenty fifteen when the Obama changes
- 15:49Speaker 1: and you know what they did. They said, thank you,
- 15:51Speaker 1: We love the fact you're coming here as tourism. Guess what.
- 15:54Speaker 1: All the tourist sites are owned by a holding company
- 15:56Speaker 1: named Gayasa, controlled by the Cuban military, so everything comes
- 16:00Speaker 1: through our hands. You want to send them food, that's great.
- 16:03Speaker 1: Guess who gets it all important? Which is a government,
- 16:06Speaker 1: military owned agriculture company. You can't sell it to a
- 16:09Speaker 1: small grocery store in Cuba or even a food wholesaler.
- 16:13Speaker 1: It goes to the Cuban government. You want to send money,
- 16:15Speaker 1: they take it. You know why, because socialism is about
- 16:19Speaker 1: control and all of these things, tourism, food, money, medicine,
- 16:24Speaker 1: it's all about control. You want humanitarian aid, let's get
- 16:28Speaker 1: red Cross. Any of these vetted NGOs in the world
- 16:31Speaker 1: should be allowed to go into Cuba. They won't allow it.
- 16:34Speaker 1: A because it's embarrassing to them. They have a world
- 16:36Speaker 1: class healthcare system. Why do they need humanitarian aid? But
- 16:39Speaker 1: B because they want to control it. Send it. They
- 16:41Speaker 1: want to control it. He's absolutely right. This is the
- 16:45Speaker 1: reality of the situation in Cuba. They control everything. We
- 16:51Speaker 1: try to open it up, change everything of Obama. They
- 16:53Speaker 1: didn't want any of it because they are hard core
- 16:55Speaker 1: social in their hands the government, the regime. Guess who
- 16:58Speaker 1: gets the vaccines, the people who first, the regime elites,
- 17:01Speaker 1: then the people who behave. If you're not behaving, if
- 17:04Speaker 1: you're not going along with what they want you to do,
- 17:05Speaker 1: you don't get a vaccine. They will use any opening
- 17:09Speaker 1: as a tool as a weapon against their people, because
- 17:12Speaker 1: that's what socialism does. That's what these Marxists do in Cuba.
- 17:18Speaker 1: They will use anything as a weapon against the people
- 17:21Speaker 1: a Cuba. What can we do is what people want
- 17:23Speaker 1: to know. Remember one, I hope that we will all
- 17:25Speaker 1: be clear about whose sight we're on. You don't have
- 17:28Speaker 1: to even agree with anything I've said. What you should
- 17:30Speaker 1: agree with is that people everywhere in the world, including
- 17:32Speaker 1: ninety miles from our shore, should be allowed to go
- 17:35Speaker 1: into the street peacefully march, call for an end of
- 17:38Speaker 1: dictatorship and not have their head cracked open. By the way,
- 17:41Speaker 1: no one in Cuba has guns except the military, So
- 17:43Speaker 1: why are these repressive forces walking a wrong with these
- 17:46Speaker 1: rifles and people getting shot. They're shooting people that literally
- 17:49Speaker 1: are unarmed. Should be able to do that, and it
- 17:53Speaker 1: should be clear. We should be clear in our language.
- 17:56Speaker 1: We don't just condemn this tieranny. We condemned this communist,
- 17:58Speaker 1: this Marxist socialist tyranny. Call it for what it is.
- 18:02Speaker 1: But this administration won't do it. And that's because they
- 18:06Speaker 1: can't call out what they're actually trying to create in
- 18:08Speaker 1: the United States of America. That's why you threaten the
- 18:12Speaker 1: people that are being persecuted. That's why you threaten the
- 18:14Speaker 1: people that are being murdered. Think about what's happening right now,
- 18:17Speaker 1: not just in Cuba, but what we're allowing to happen
- 18:20Speaker 1: to those that helped save American lives in Afghanistan. We
- 18:25Speaker 1: promise the people in Afghanistan, those translators that helped our
- 18:30Speaker 1: soldiers for twenty years, twenty years, that we would protect them.
- 18:38Speaker 1: We promise it in America that if you were under
- 18:41Speaker 1: threat of your nation, that we allow you to have
- 18:43Speaker 1: asylum in the United States of America, not just from Afghanistan,
- 18:46Speaker 1: but also from places like Cuba. And guess what happened.
- 18:50Speaker 1: We've let now both countries down because it doesn't fit
- 18:53Speaker 1: our narrative. Right now, I'll say it again, you better
- 18:57Speaker 1: call your congressman. Senators have Marsha Blackburn on in just
- 19:01Speaker 1: a second to talk about this. But it's time for
- 19:04Speaker 1: us to stand up for the people in Afghanistan, and
- 19:06Speaker 1: it's also time for us to stand up for the
- 19:08Speaker 1: people in Cuba. We better do it because if we don't,
- 19:13Speaker 1: who would ever trust America again? Would you ever stand
- 19:17Speaker 1: with America and a war on tear again if you
- 19:20Speaker 1: know that your family members are your friends that helped
- 19:23Speaker 1: us the last time. We allowed you to be drug
- 19:25Speaker 1: out in the streets and beheaded because that's what the
- 19:27Speaker 1: Taliban will do us. Center. Marsha Blackburn is with us
- 19:31Speaker 1: out center. I appreciate you coming on. I know you
- 19:34Speaker 1: probably were about like me, pretty stunned to hear our
- 19:40Speaker 1: secretary say that when he has been down there waving
- 19:45Speaker 1: people across the southern border with a y'all come on,
- 19:48Speaker 1: ensign and for him to push back on the Cuban
- 19:54Speaker 1: refugees who are fighting for their lives and say do
- 20:00Speaker 1: not come. It really was quite astounding. I mean, border
- 20:05Speaker 1: patrol tell us they've had people from a hundred and
- 20:08Speaker 1: sixty different countries come across that border since Joe Biden
- 20:13Speaker 1: was sworn in as president, and then you hear this
- 20:17Speaker 1: so called Homeland Security secretary who does not believe in
- 20:22Speaker 1: secure borders out there saying that yesterday. You know, one
- 20:26Speaker 1: of the things that I think was so shocking about
- 20:28Speaker 1: this statement is it almost seemed like it was an
- 20:31Speaker 1: endorsement of the communist regime within Cuba, like the official
- 20:37Speaker 1: Biden policy is to back this communist government. That's how
- 20:41Speaker 1: I took it, because otherwise you would be telling people
- 20:44Speaker 1: that are actually fearing for their lives, which is one
- 20:47Speaker 1: of the reasons that Democrats say are open borders, okay,
- 20:50Speaker 1: because there's some of you are fearing for their lives
- 20:52Speaker 1: when they come back, if they go back to their
- 20:54Speaker 1: host country. That's what they say. I'm not putting words
- 20:57Speaker 1: in their mouth. If there's anybody now that genuinely is
- 21:00Speaker 1: fearful for their lives, you would argue it's those sending
- 21:02Speaker 1: up for freedom. In Cuba, we have people that are disappearing,
- 21:05Speaker 1: We have children that have been attacked. We have seen
- 21:09Speaker 1: them be attacked in the last forty eight hours. Even
- 21:12Speaker 1: a thirteen year old was abused by the police. And
- 21:14Speaker 1: we are seeing people that are now disappearing and family
- 21:18Speaker 1: members that don't know if they're even alive anymore, because
- 21:20Speaker 1: they are standing up to the government. That is the
- 21:23Speaker 1: part about this human rights abuse that I'm shocked from
- 21:26Speaker 1: this White House well, and the human rights abuses just
- 21:30Speaker 1: to continue. Look at what is happening in Afghanistan to
- 21:35Speaker 1: Afghanistan troops that supported the US or worked with the US.
- 21:40Speaker 1: There's footage out now of that. Look at what is
- 21:42Speaker 1: happening to the Wagers, to the Hong Kong freedom fighters,
- 21:46Speaker 1: the Tibetans, the Inner Mongolians, and the Chinese Communist Party.
- 21:50Speaker 1: They're not being held to account to it. And now
- 21:53Speaker 1: we see Cuba, and you've got people like AOC and
- 21:57Speaker 1: Bernie and the Squad and they are out here. They're
- 22:00Speaker 1: all part of the Democratic Socialist of America. They don't
- 22:05Speaker 1: have a word to say about the Cuban people who
- 22:09Speaker 1: are fighting for their freedom and fighting to stay alive
- 22:13Speaker 1: and trying to get rid of a dictatorship. So it
- 22:17Speaker 1: leaves you to believe that they must be supportive of
- 22:24Speaker 1: the Cuban government who is trying to keep people locked
- 22:28Speaker 1: in a dictatorship and starving to death. You know part
- 22:32Speaker 1: of the reason. And I want to get your take
- 22:33Speaker 1: on this, and I guess you are, Senator Marsha Bickburn, Senator.
- 22:37Speaker 1: I look at this and I'm saying, Okay, why would
- 22:39Speaker 1: you deliberately say don't come from Cuba but the rest
- 22:42Speaker 1: of these other countries come on in an open southern border?
- 22:45Speaker 1: Is it because the people from Cuba actually have lived
- 22:49Speaker 1: under true communism dictatorships and they are a threat to
- 22:53Speaker 1: their push for socialism and communism in this country because
- 22:57Speaker 1: they would be the whistleblowers. People come in from Cuba,
- 23:00Speaker 1: go down to Little Cuba in Miami, and you listen
- 23:04Speaker 1: to what they're saying. They have lived through it, and
- 23:08Speaker 1: they are tell you do not ever do this in America.
- 23:11Speaker 1: Is that part of the reason why they're saying don't come.
- 23:14Speaker 1: I don't know what their reasoning is, because this administration
- 23:19Speaker 1: doesn't really welcome conversations with Republican senators. But what I
- 23:25Speaker 1: can tell you is this, when you talk to people
- 23:29Speaker 1: who have come out of Cuba, when you talk to
- 23:32Speaker 1: some of these Cuban Americans that are there in Miami
- 23:36Speaker 1: or in Tennessee, what they will tell you it is frightening.
- 23:41Speaker 1: They are very fearful of some of this leftist bent
- 23:47Speaker 1: that the Democrats have giving more power to the governor government,
- 23:51Speaker 1: giving more powers for taking your freedoms away and giving
- 23:56Speaker 1: them to the government. They are very concerned out at then,
- 24:01Speaker 1: and what they want to do is see our president
- 24:04Speaker 1: come out and say to the president of Cuba, look,
- 24:09Speaker 1: you're unnoticed. We are serving notice to you if you
- 24:13Speaker 1: start firing on these people and beating up these people,
- 24:16Speaker 1: all options around the table. You and I both know
- 24:20Speaker 1: that this administration is not going to protect and defend.
- 24:24Speaker 1: They're not doing it in Afghanistan, for example, and let's
- 24:27Speaker 1: dive into that for just a moment. In Afghanistan, we
- 24:30Speaker 1: saw an elite fighting force there that I think there's
- 24:34Speaker 1: a very good chance we probably trained them that we're
- 24:37Speaker 1: in a firefight with the Taliban. They ran out of ammunition,
- 24:40Speaker 1: they didn't have America's backing anymore, because we've pulled out
- 24:43Speaker 1: under this arbitrary day of get out of there by
- 24:46Speaker 1: the anniversary of September the eleventh, so that we can say, look,
- 24:50Speaker 1: how great is We're no longer in Afghanistan. They come
- 24:53Speaker 1: outside with their taking their bulletproof vest off, they have
- 24:57Speaker 1: no guns and they're surrendering and the Talib and executes
- 25:00Speaker 1: them on camera, blows them away, and we have seen
- 25:05Speaker 1: nothing but silence from this White House's administration, not saying
- 25:09Speaker 1: a word about it. Why would they not say anything
- 25:13Speaker 1: at all? I'm astounded. And the other part of this
- 25:17Speaker 1: is why are they not stepping forward and helping get
- 25:21Speaker 1: the translators and those that have worked with us. We
- 25:25Speaker 1: promised them that we would get them out of Afghanistan.
- 25:29Speaker 1: And I asked Ambassador Crocker last week in a hearing,
- 25:32Speaker 1: how many people in total when you look at the
- 25:35Speaker 1: translators in the families, it is seventy thousand people that
- 25:39Speaker 1: we need to airlift out of there or the Taliban
- 25:43Speaker 1: is going to kill every single one of them. And
- 25:46Speaker 1: we are working on this every single day. We made
- 25:51Speaker 1: a promise. We need to fulfill that promise. And it
- 25:55Speaker 1: is extremely upsetting to me. And I know for a
- 25:59Speaker 1: lot of our military terry, retirees and veterans who they
- 26:02Speaker 1: feel like that having these interpreters in a rock and
- 26:06Speaker 1: Afghanistan help save their lives, they are incredibly worried about
- 26:12Speaker 1: this and it's and to bring it on even more,
- 26:15Speaker 1: it's a kill list anyone that worked with the government
- 26:19Speaker 1: of the United States of America. Once the Taliban has
- 26:23Speaker 1: that list, and you're on that list. It's a kill list.
- 26:26Speaker 1: There's there's there's no in between here. It's a kill list.
- 26:29Speaker 1: You help the Americans, where the Taliban we find you.
- 26:33Speaker 1: After you help the Americans, you die. That's right, You
- 26:37Speaker 1: are exactly right, and that is why with these special
- 26:41Speaker 1: immigrant visas, we have to get these things processed and
- 26:46Speaker 1: get those individuals out of there. But I have to
- 26:51Speaker 1: tell you, Ben, we are in a fight every single
- 26:54Speaker 1: day to defend this country and to defend our freedoms.
- 26:58Speaker 1: And we've a got a White House and an administration
- 27:03Speaker 1: they are galloping as fast as they can towards socialism,
- 27:07Speaker 1: and they're just giddy that they're making progress towards socialism.
- 27:12Speaker 1: They're giddy that they're repealing so many components of Donald
- 27:17Speaker 1: Trump's agenda. And it is very sad for me that
- 27:23Speaker 1: they would choose to have future generations grow up in
- 27:27Speaker 1: a socialistic Marxist style nation. That they think our children
- 27:33Speaker 1: should be taught critical race theory. That they think the
- 27:38Speaker 1: determinant of how you look at someone or think of
- 27:41Speaker 1: someone should be the color of their skin, not the
- 27:45Speaker 1: content of their character, not the person that they are.
- 27:49Speaker 1: So they're just going against so much of what are
- 27:54Speaker 1: the first principles of this nation, and they are standing
- 27:59Speaker 1: silent and allowing these Marxist socialist authoritarian regimes to gain
- 28:07Speaker 1: power on a global stage. Lastly, I got about a
- 28:11Speaker 1: minute left, Senator, and want to I want to talk
- 28:14Speaker 1: about quickly you and Senator Cruz have introduced the Shield
- 28:18Speaker 1: Act to preserve Title forty two expulsions of illegal aliens.
- 28:22Speaker 1: Explain what that means quickly, right, What this is what
- 28:27Speaker 1: a Title forty two has been the protection that we
- 28:31Speaker 1: have had at the southern border, and this allows our
- 28:36Speaker 1: border patrol to not let people in if they have
- 28:41Speaker 1: a COVID test, then they can push them back out
- 28:46Speaker 1: of the country. And our border communities down in Texas
- 28:51Speaker 1: and Arizona all through there, they're very concerned about it.
- 28:54Speaker 1: But since the border is so porous, and since they've
- 28:59Speaker 1: apprehended about a million people and now they're pushing them
- 29:02Speaker 1: into cities and states all across the country and every state,
- 29:07Speaker 1: sub order state, what you have is this impacts every
- 29:11Speaker 1: community because if they're sending a plain load of people
- 29:15Speaker 1: to Memphis or to Chattanooga and putting them in shelters
- 29:20Speaker 1: or areas in these communities and they all have COVID.
- 29:25Speaker 1: Then what you're going to see our upticks in COVID.
- 29:29Speaker 1: And we have worked very hard to get the economy
- 29:32Speaker 1: back open, people back to work, and children back in school.
- 29:36Speaker 1: So it's important Steve the title forty two protections in place. Senator.
- 29:42Speaker 1: I appreciate you coming on the podcast today, and as
- 29:44Speaker 1: I said a moment ago, everyone listening right now, you
- 29:47Speaker 1: need to call your congressman, you call your senator. You
- 29:50Speaker 1: need to demand that not only do we stand with
- 29:53Speaker 1: the people of Cuba they are trying to flee, but
- 29:54Speaker 1: we stand with those in Afghanistan they're being left to
- 29:57Speaker 1: die at the hands of the Taliman. And also, please
- 30:01Speaker 1: share this podcast on social media, share the link and
- 30:04Speaker 1: let everybody know exactly what's happening right now under this administration.
- 30:09Speaker 1: I'll see you back here tomorrow.
