U.S.–Cuba Confrontation and Claims About Castro's Luxury

Mr. President, this

individual

needs to back away from

this podium.

He's not going to intimidate me and

the United States of America like

he tries to intimidate political prisoners.

This individual is the foreign

minister of the Republic of Cuba.

And I'm the representative of the United States of America. Back up.

Back up, Ambassador. Back

away. This isn't

Havana. Go to nowhere.

You're not going to intimidate me.

Do you understand who you're dealing with?

Mr. President-

The United States of

America. Back up. The rule is clear.

This is the substance

of the speech. There are no procedural...

You can bring as many

people as you

want. Please sit down.

Sit down. Fine. Sit down.

Mr. President, I-- when I receive,

when I receive the meeting, I listen

to everything.

Can also receive information.

You, you, you want, you want permission?

No, no, no, no, you cannot record me.

Don't touch the camera.

This man cannot record me. That's--

he's violating my personal space.

You keep your hands on people.

He's not-- he's violating my personal space.

What's going on with that?

Keep your hands off people.

What? He's not, he's not allowed to record me.

Let's move to the side, please. Let's move to the side.

Reagan's warning about

corrupt Cuban elites still holds true,

and it started many decades

ago. Let's start

with Castro's

two Rolexes

that he proudly wore.

You're looking at the great revolutionary.

What's on his wrist?

Two Rolexes worth forty thousand dollars

in today's money.

According to the regime's own statistics,

that would pay for

fifty-five years of an

aven- of an average

Cuban wage.

It didn't just start with

Castro. This is the current Cuban president,

also with a Rolex on.

Why settle for mansions by

the sea when you can have your

own private island?

That's right. The Castro

family has their own private

island,

Cayo Piedra.

Again, you can find this if you simply

look for it. Look beyond your talking points.

Take a look at this

place. Private marina, a yacht, a floating

restaurant, lavish guest accommodations,

a swimming pool,

even, even a lagoon for pet dolphins.

It's right there on the other side of Cuba, on the south side of Cuba.

They have another island, by the way, with exotic animals.
