[0:00] you can get away with this being as stupid as you want to be as long as you
[0:07] successfully
[0:08] distract the broad majorities of the American population with your idiocy and
[0:13] you'll even
[0:15] get a Wall Street Journal article written about you like that's what's so crazy
[0:19] about this.
[0:20] Like why is the Wall Street Journal doing an article on this guy? Like they're
[0:24] hailing
[0:24] him as a as a successful champion, a hero, an activist like that makes no sense
[0:30] .
[0:30] He says his family fled Cuba in 1965 after their ranch was confiscated by the
[0:35] Castro regime.
[0:36] My family they lost everything to communism. You know when I see this ideology
[0:40] as sort
[0:40] of a modern form of communism. I don't think there's a polite way to say it. I
[0:44] raised
[0:44] hell over it. There it is. Of course, dude. God damn. It's even funnier if he's
[0:57] lying
[0:58] about this because so many people like like Menendez. You want to know what's
[1:05] really
[1:05] funny. There are a lot of American Cubans in positions of power like Bob Men
[1:14] endez for
[1:15] example, that literally lie about having their families positions confiscated
[1:21] by the Fido
[1:22] Castro regime. When you look at their entry point into the country and they
[1:27] actually fled
[1:28] the Batista regime. Okay. They literally lie like Bob Menendez lies. If you
[1:35] recall, when
[1:36] he was under a if you recall when he was under investigation for getting gold
[1:44] bars delivered
[1:45] to him to, you know, make this one singular company that he works with in Egypt
[1:49] , the singular
[1:49] halal meat distributor in America. He turned around and he said, Oh, but it's
[1:54] in my culture
[1:56] as a Cuban to like hide wealth this way. This is how we escape the Fido Castro
[2:02] rain with
[2:03] my family. We hid our wealth in gold bars and we trafficked it into United
[2:07] States of
[2:08] America. And then people looked it up and they were like, but dude, you fled
[2:14] the Batista
[2:15] regime. You're you're coming into the United States of America predates the
[2:22] Cuban revolution.
[2:23] So many people that have like fled under Batista will just legitimately lie and
[2:38] say it was
[2:39] actually the, the communism and in the Cuban revolution that caused them to
[2:44] flee.
[2:46] Right. You know, and I was really the first parent to speak up and me being
[2:49] able to do
[2:50] it from a lens of being a minority myself, made it a little more awkward for,
[2:53] you know,
[2:54] the faculty there who were mostly, you know, from a certain subset of the, you
[2:58] misspoke.
[2:59] You said he fled Batista. No, I didn't misspeak. They lie and say they fled F
[3:05] ido Castro and
[3:06] communism when they actually fled Batista. But hold on, what is this? Made it a
[3:14] little
[3:14] more often. I was a modern form of communism. I don't think there's a polite
[3:18] way to say
[3:18] it. I raised hell over it. You know, and I was really the first parent to speak
[3:21] up and
[3:22] me being able to do it from a lens of being a minority myself made it a little
[3:25] more awkward
[3:25] for, you know, the faculty there who were mostly, you know, from a certain.
[3:31] Absolutely zero people think you're a minority dog. Like, what do you mean? It
[3:37] made it made
[3:38] the woke's awkward because I'm so Cuban. Is that what your argument is? There
[3:44] are Italian
[3:45] people that are infinitely more not white than you, my man, and they're white
[3:52] too still.
[3:54] And so am I. My parents and family Cuban are hooked on this crazy radical Cuban
[4:00] YouTuber
[4:00] who does news. When I tell you all Cubans who live in America, watch this guy,
[4:03] it is
[4:04] crazy. What's the name? What's the name of the YouTuber? If you say Destiny, I
[4:11] 'm banning
[4:11] you. Okay. No time for memes right now. Find me the. Find me the guy. Yeah,
[4:28] this guy.
[4:32] This guy's like, this is this guy's the whitest Cuban man on the planet and
[4:36] subset of the left
[4:37] where they didn't have that same ability. But they thought that they had the
[4:41] wisdom
[4:41] to speak for all minorities, right? All right, y'all, you're going to want to
[4:44] see this. Last
[4:45] summer, Starbucks began his first corporate campaign targeting the agricultural
[4:49] equipment
[4:50] chain, tractor supply company. We're going to expose it all all the craziness
[4:54] that they
[4:54] have done that their customers have no clue about, you know, every day we were
[4:57] dropping
[4:58] a new piece of information about how they hit. You said every day you get
[5:01] closer to
[5:01] understanding land reform in China. No, every day. I'll take it once that
[5:04] further. I understand
[5:06] he's Stalinist purges. Okay. Do you understand me? Like fuck land reform. When
[5:12] I see reactionaries
[5:13] like this, I'm like, Oh, I get why I get why people can become incredibly
[5:20] paranoid and
[5:22] and so angry and so resentful, especially if you have like a little bit of that
[5:29] authoritarian
[5:29] dog in you, dude. Oh my God. Holy moly. Like I just like imagine, imagine
[5:40] coming out of
[5:41] World War two, trying to consistently concede to the demands being made by the
[5:47] West while
[5:48] being very skeptical of their intentions, being very worried about it, trying
[5:53] to maintain
[5:54] a reconstruction period for your country that was eviscerated 20 million dead.
[6:00] Okay. Mostly
[6:01] predominantly young men too. And then you got a Robbie starbuck type being like
[6:07] , Hey,
[6:08] Stalin. I don't like the, I don't like any of the implementation of, of, of, I
[6:15] don't
[6:15] like, I don't know, I don't like the way that you're redistributing and reall
[6:19] ocating grain
[6:19] supplies. I would be like, all right, you're dead. Like I'm literally killing
[6:23] you now.
[6:24] That's what, like, and it's not the right thing to do. I understand that, but
[6:29] also simultaneously,
[6:31] I understand how someone could be pushed to that moment of, of weakness. Okay.
[6:39] Like it's
[6:43] not appropriate. Make no mistake. I don't think it's the right thing to do. But
[6:48] given
[6:48] the human condition, given the human condition, given the nature, given the
[6:54] material circumstances
[6:56] of post World War II, post World War II, USSR and the efforts to rebuild it.
[7:04] Well, constantly
[7:06] being on a strong, tightrope against American empire and American initiatives
[7:12] that are actively
[7:13] and desperately trying to fight against the, you know, the, the spread of
[7:18] Soviet style
[7:19] communism around the world. This is the guy where he's live right now.
[7:23] What is this guy? I don't, I can't speak Spanish, better video for an
[7:41] introduction.
[7:42] Now, from CBS News, Miami, this is facing south bro. I don't know if this guy's
[7:48] got
[7:48] motion like that. He's got 12 K people watching him.
[7:55] Communist agenda on our people. And Alex told is here with us today. And I will
[8:01] just point
[8:02] out, even though you did fairly well speaking English, you did well speaking
[8:06] English. I
[8:06] know that you're more comfortable. You understand English pretty well, but you
[8:09] 're come more
[8:10] come. Oh my God. This shit is raises this hell, bro. What is happening? Bro,
[8:18] bro. What
[8:19] is the, what is the local news guy saying? Well, you said speaking in Spanish.
[8:25] So your
[8:26] translator is here. And so we'll be using him as well to translate the
[8:30] interview. But
[8:31] if you're comfortable speaking in English, do so. Otherwise, we'll, we'll make
[8:34] it work
[8:34] with the translator. But then there's a lot of the campaign intends to do this
[8:40] differently.
[8:41] And that's why I rather speak Spanish. Okay. So let's, let's sort of start. I
[8:50] always
[8:50] like to ask a candidate running. Why are you running? What is it that? Why do
[8:55] you want
[8:56] to be mayor of Miami-Dade County? Joe, I don't know. I don't know. I don't know
[9:01] . I don't
[9:04] know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I
[9:11] don't know.
[9:16] I started in politics as a demand from the people. People would like to have
[9:24] some changes
[9:24] in Miami-Dade. They are tired about the establishment and about the politician
[9:30] that lie in order
[9:31] to gate votes. Okay. So I want to, I want to just sort of pick up.
[9:42] It's kind of like Baba and now speaking English on principle. Yeah, I do
[9:46] respect it. Except
[9:46] he's incredibly reactionary. Tired of Stalinist communism in Miami-Dade. Yeah.
[9:55] It's sort of straight from the values of their consumers. And at the time, a
[9:59] lot of
[10:00] people were still of the mindset. There's no way you're going to get this
[10:03] company to
[10:03] change things. They're worth billions and billions of dollars. You're one guy.
[10:07] Three weeks later, tractor supply caved. The company said in a statement that
[10:11] it would
[10:11] retire its DEI goals, stop sponsoring pride festivals, and no longer submit
[10:16] data to the
[10:17] human rights campaign. The nonprofit that grades companies on their policies
[10:21] when it
[10:21] comes to LG.
