8:07 am
it is. >> there were already questions about how pretty would continue in this thaw of relations with cuba. does the death of fi deca-astro. pretty already said several days before our election in south florida, that he wants to reversal of cuban thaw that we struck a bad deal in his opinion with cuba. and he would work to reverse in part changes. with this you also have to compare that ohher things he said in campaign trail that don't exactly match up. so he's somewhat inconsistent. with the death of fidel castro it i think a puts additional pressure you mention texas and marco rubio and rick scott and others in, are at this point, lobbying put a lot of pressure on donald trump to say what he would do in particular in south
8:08 am
