maximize our ability to prompt more change. >> reporter: but you often said when you visit countries around the world, they put a fresh paint up and what are you looking for proof that there's been progress. >> there's no doubt that the cuban government is still a one-party state that's exerting control and that's stifling dissent. >> reporter: the president argues that he's already seen cuban entrepreneurs blossom. american businesses say, if we don't lift this embargo, other countries are going to get in there and get the deals. >> there's no doubt that we still have some work to do. part of that is bringing the end of embargo. >> does it happen during your presidency? >> it doesn't happen between now and then. >> reporter: when you look out across havana, you see the young

keep ted cruz under 50% so he can't get all the delegates. that's the dynamic going on in this race right now. >> a dynamic going inside the republican party, about 100-day plan by anti-trump age day or thes who want to stop him from getting the delegates he needs before the convention, but time is running short. >> well, i think, george, we have seen over the course of this last year the republican party, republican establishment has had various plans in the course of this of how to stop donald trump in this. right now, donald trump looks to be, if things perceive, has the odds on to win the delegates. you're right, time is unaring out for the republican party in this. tomorrow night is a good indication of what's going to happen in this race. but they'll have a hard time stopping him before the convention. >> wisconsin will become a must-win for the anti-trump forces if they're going to have

they're supposed to be punishing gawker makes no sense. the idea that they're giving economic damages in this case to hulk hogan, $55 million that he supposedly suffered economically as a result of this makes no sense. so, i think they've got a very good chance of getting this reduced significantly on appeal. >> gawker has a good case for the appeal. >> yes. lot of people saying, no, problem, they'll go to the appellate court and they're going to throw this out. i'm not so sure. if i'm gawker i'm still incredibly nervous and concerned. yes, i'm confident that an appellate court will reduce the amount of this verdict. $115 million to $40 million. gawker is still in big trouble.
