Dessert find by president trump. another campaign promise kept as you said. it is still operational in many ways. its very important that the american people understand how putrid and polluted the whole process was by which obama bent down and took a knee to the terrorists across the globe, to the mullahs, to the castros in cuba. he gave away to the store to all these american haters, people who undermine our national security. you know who he was tough on, kimberly, catholic nuns. people who wa...

After castro being gone about whether or not that place is better off without the castros, with a real democracy? >> well, i think were -- since we have spent 45 years, we looked at this under a very, very long time line. so if you look at the cuba under batista and the changes the castros initiated, those are useful changes. the real tragedy is that the ideals, things that i agree with, i think that you might agree with, universal free education, better health care for everybody, the island. th...

Family and the castro regime is a terrible regime. but he is trying to normalize relations. you can do two things at the same time, and it makes sense for the interest of the united states of america. thats exactly what the president is trying the do right now. i didnt see anybody out there criticizing barack obama for not going hard enough at the castros and what they had done in the past when he was trying to normalize his relations. i think what youre youre trying to see from dump is he is tr...

Bit. here is my point about this. i think there is a little bit of hypocrisy here. if you go back and look at the lack of criticism when you were trying to somehow trying to normalize relations, and ill give you a great example with barack obama with cuba. people didnt have him be forced into attacking castro while they were trying to help build relationships and open up some sort of diplomatic relations with cuba. clearly he knows that the cuban people are being punished by their leader. clearl...

Barack obama undertook. last year there were according to amnesty an average of 862 arrests and the detentions every month in cuba. the most repressive regime on the face of the effort and gotten more repressive since barack obamas policies were in place. by the way, were looking at venezuela right now, what is happening there with castros ally in venezuela. they have used the money they have gotten from the opening to help the maduro regime help repress the venezuelan people that are trying to ...

What do you make of that and is that an accurate assessment of what is going to happen here? >> well, i think its completely inaccurate. the cuban people and the american people, vast majorities of both want us to have good relationships. and having good relationships means that there will be investment in cuba. and if theres investment in cuba, even in the tourist industry, which the military controls, then that means youre reducing the power of the military in cuba, not enhancing it. so to me ...

Gave too much to a regime that has been very tough on its own people, that has starved so many of its own people. what do you make of his argument and how do you square that? how do you get around that very real challenge that there are real concerns about how the castros have treated their people? >> you know, we have concerns about human rights all over the world. particularly in countries in which president trump has been visiting or has -- or its leaders have visited him. im thinking about e...

She brings up a good point. she brings up a good point in that -- castros reputation around the world is different than in the united states. >> that ignores the fact -- you may like what castro did in south africa. i dont. you cant forget that he did this all on the backs of the cuban people. this was an absolute dictatorship that crushed this island beneath their jack booted heel. shot people for disagreeing with the castros, for 50 years they have been -- they murdered their political opponen...

Could something change? >> i dont think anything is going to change. as marco rubio said rightly, fidel hasnt been in charge. raul is in charge. the transfer happened a decade ago. the problem is not -- was not fidel. it was the system that he put in place all these decades ago. thats with a we need to focus on. we need to focus not on an end to the castros, not the name, but to the system which lives off the back of the cuban people, threatens us and interferes in the region. >> the question is...

Soldiers into angola to help bring down apartheid in south africa. and so there is a lot of ambivalence when you are looking at fidel kcastro that is not reflected here. i think what president obamas statement was doing -- i know you disagree with me -- >> no. she brings up a good point. she brings up a good point in that -- castros reputation around the world is different than in the united states. >> that ignores the fact -- you may like what castro did in south africa. i dont. you cant forget...
