those are the cuban businessmen that want we want cuba not to be like china or vietnam. we want cuba to be like the united states or costa rica. why not? why couldn't the cubans be like anybody else? and the idea that you're missing an opportunity. cuba has something that will never, the u.s. will never miss any opportunities. called 90 miles. the island is not going to move anywhere. the cuban people have known for many years the cuban people known many years the american people have been on their side. now somebody and now somebody is telling the kirk ban people that the american government is on the side of raul castro. that is disaster. >> mr. herrero, if i could ask mr. herrero to weigh in on that. >> two largest protests we've seen in the last two years in cuba were actually protests by entrepreneurs who were protesting, that is the truth. largest. >> that is not true. come on. >> frank there was one with 500 people in the street. mostly on thes. i know you don't want to recognize entrepreneurs. if i may, it is my turn. amnesty called for lifting of embargo. so has

thinking cuba will turn into china or vietnam is not really based on much. of them said we're not the chinese and we're not vietnam. one said the cuban government cannot survive the same sort of opening that china couldxd survive. again, we need to be a little more cognizant about the differences between those countries and these because there are many other transitions from communism to capitalist countries ort( totalitarian regimes to democracies that did work and did benefit from greater engagement. as far as when the change is going to come, this again is the poland, look at the whole eastern block. a lot of the former soviets countries. again, thinking about we can put a timetable to this goes back to the whole mind frame of trying to micromanage this from outside opposed to trying to empower the people in the ground. that's what this policy is. you're talking about freedom. this policy iskwj about getting the governments out of the way and empowering individuals to become the agents of change. i'm sorry if you don't believe that but it is what it's abou

we want cuba not to be like china or vietnam we want i cuba to be like the united states or costa rica. why not? why couldn't the cubans be like anybody else? and the idea that you're missing an opportunity, cuba has something that will never -- the u.s. will never miss any opportunity. it's called nine miles. the island is not going to move anywhere. the cuban people have known for many years the cuban people have known for many years that the american people have been on their side. >> frank the only -- >> and now somebody's telling the cuban people that the american government is on the side of raul castro. that's a disaster. >> mr. herrero? >> frank there's -- >> if i could just ask mr. herrero to weigh in on that. >> the two large protests that we've seen in the last two years in cuba were actually protests by entrepreneurs -- [laughter] who were protesting -- that's the truth. >> come on. >> there was one with 500 people in the street. i know you don't want to recognize entrepreneurs. >> look at amnesty international. >> if i may, it's my turn. amnesty, by the way has called for

an accidental or not so accidental war between china and one or several of its neighbors. >> charlie: japan? japan philippines vietnam of that? >> think about the origins over the first world war, began at the very pinky finger of europe. what we learn is that sometimes minor sparks at the far peripheries can move very quickly to the center, if a variety of equities are at stake. most of us have never heard of the sinkoku islands, these rocks in the middle of nowhere. because of our treaty guarantees to the japanese, because of the chinese claims to the islands it is not unrealistic to imagine an accidental cop flood victim leading to something much more serious over something so seemingly trivial. >> charlie: let's talk about terrorism and it's threat today and how we deal with the threat of some caliphate in some islamic state in between syria and iraq. >> you talked about islamic state and you used the word "caliphate." i think it's important to be clear about what we have. we are dealing with a caliphate, at least as they imagine it. the difference is the state has borders. every state knows at some point there a

china and vietnam, while communist, at least foreign firms can hire and recruit staff directly without pay going to the government. not so in cuba, which is more like north korea that it is vietnam or china. a cuban worker at a foreign-owned resort receives only a fraction of their salary, as little as 5%. in the regimes of the castro brothers, the method is the same. extract hard currency from foreign businesses and invested in these security apparatus. instead of dismantling of 50-year-old failed policy as a claims, the administration may have given a 50-year-old failed regime a new lease on life to continue its repression at home and militant support for marxist regimes abroad. before going to mr. ingle i am going to yield my remaining time to ileana ros-lehtinen. the chairman emeritus of this committee. fled cuba as a refugee at age 8 and her years of work on this committee have been marked by a tireless commitment to freedom and democracy for people around the world. >> thank you so much, mr. chairman. i strongly second your grave concerns about the way that foreign policy is being run from the white house, by secretly negotiateing with the castro regime while keeping the cong

we've said since the start of my term in office is china's growth shouldn't be at the expense of other folks. it shouldn't bully small countries like vietnam ors around maritime issues but try to resolve those peacefully in accordance with international law. it shouldn't manipulate its currencies to get itself trading advantages that others don't have. and sometimes we've been successful in getting a response from china on those issues. sometimes less so. but i care deeply about china's success. i want to make sure we continue to maintain a constructive relationship. there's no doubt there are aspects of india that make us closer to india. specifically it's a democracy and reflects the values and aspirations as well as some of the wart of our own country in a way that china could not. so i think there's an affinity there that i feel personally and i think the american people feel as well. >> next on "gps," president obama on president putin and whether the chills of what might be a new cold war could ever turn into a hot war. >> i don't think that it would be wise for the united states or the world to see an actual military conflict between t

including trying to redefine what sovereign territory is for example, the south china sea whether it is vietnam, the philippines or japan. the president talks a lot about a pivot to asia but has done very little. what should we be doing differently to really preserve the strength of our allies whether it's in asean or elsewhere in asia? >> i think the term pivot was probably a mistake because, two problems with that. pivots are in the eye of the beholder, right? so in asia people they don't see the pivot an attack i in my travels there people would always say consistently, you guys would talk about the pivot when you're in our region. you don't talk about the pivot when you are like back in washington. it's an important point that people, they don't perceive us to be a serious move then it doesn't achieve the desired result. and secondly if it's implied that you're leaving some of the place. so the rest of the world wonders, am i the pivot the? what's going to happen there? i think the language was wrong. the intent to try -- pivotee -- reengage in asia think is the right one. but it has to be real. it can't just

or beyond. much of the e-waste collected for recycling is believed to make the long journey overseas to china, africa and vietnam, sometimes illegally. not just america exporting their e-waste. in 2013, interpol reported one in three shipping containers leaving the eu contained illegal e-waste. to manufacturers, the metals are valuable commodities but toxic by-products as well. with little oversight and workers abroad and surrounding environments exposed to hazardous toxins. how are you? morgan. it's an issue the trash track team is trying to shed light on. what's the reason it is sent to foreign countries? >> largely economic. they can be repurposed, recycled. it can be cheaper outside of the u.s. because here we have controls on the process. >> less regulation. >> exactly. the regulation is meant to protect communities and the people working with the waste. >> but let me tell you, what we do here, we're not really experting waste or e-waste but seeing how technology itself can help us reveal some of the problems and improve the system. >> yeah. mission accomplished. i dropped off my e-waste. now we have to see

countries like china and vietnam you can have relatively economic free countries that co-exist with political repression. and that's what we have in cuba. and you also have to remember orwe could possibly have in cuba under this regime. you also have to remember that while the u.s. has not been trading with cuba for a long time, other nations have, and there's no reason to believe that u.s. dollars will work some sort of magic that hasn't been worked by these other countries in the west that have long been trading with cuba. >> a.b.? >> well, what's interesting is the way that president obama, i think, saw this was generational, that as george said, 50 years, it wasn't working but this is an issue that is not of any concern to people who are young in this country. this is now, his new policy is 60% approval rating. it's much higher almost 70% among younger americans. and so he's thinking if there's a short-term benefit to this change, to the regime, long term, he is hoping that like other proponents it's going to hasten the dictatorship's demise and that history will view this as the right decision. >> critics say, charles, point to a country where this has worked, whe
