he published one of my first-ever articles on cuba. i was editing cuba studies. i think the world of him and his work. he is actually one of the people who always one of the living historians that is most thought about. the relationship between cuba and the u.s. culturally, economically, et cetera. i would say that the difference of my book is that, that is the one i have used as well up until now. it reads much more like traditional history. that is good, but i wanted something, again, going back to anna's question, more cuban or history from below and less technical. that was published in a series of textbooks. finally, with the other one, it is about culture relations. some of the things that he talked about came up and mine. i do not think that the cultural connections are the main category. >> i see a few questions relating to you. i will try to group them. dean rosenberg wants to know the history of cuba. i think that you have a dress that. it is also intriguing. then i want to scroll down from si you as well who wants to know, specifically if you see any e

especially one written in cuba would have. there is such a constant, i mean , there is change over time. there are these recurring themes . the whole idea of being dangerous to focus on race is being divided to focus on race. i saw in the independent movement and the early republic. i was sitting at the library at the university of miami in 1940. it was the exact same words. we cannot talk about it. you see it at the beginning of the revolution. focusing on that is divisive. it is a recurring. we cannot talk about it at all now. >> right. we see this stuff again. we see it as a routine. >> yeah. yeah. this is kind of a departure from you as well. it is very scholarly. it is meant more for a general audience and academic bodies. you have been working on this for 30 years. you have been mining it. tell me the difference in this book they had some of the other very focused, very sort of time constraints. >> the main difference is that for all of my other books i spent years and years and years. my second book took 14 years to pub

but engaging with cuba and u.s. diplomats and americans citizensern the ability to build relationships with cuban counterparts and identify issues of common interest on which to make progress. we saw that during the obama administration, despite some who could not bring themselves to admit it. over time, that's how we can then begin to address the more difficult issues that divide us. knowing that it is the cuban people, not the united states, who will ultimately determine their country's future. now, this administration has had 10 months to demonstrate that continuing the failed trump policy and trying to bludgeon the cuban authorities into submission can produce positive results. there's not even a tiny shred of evidence that it can. but it never has. so my question is, are we going to waste another year and another after that? i hope not. but that is what will happen if the white house does not change course and show the kind of thoughtful leadership in cuba that we saw during the obama administration. and incide

cuba would be a phenomenal ally if they were free.people of cuba and also be great for relations with the united states. >> sean: when i tell you, without the communications abilities, they are our friends and families and loved ones, number one that they would like to know that are okay. if they are not free to communicate, nor they're trying to suppress the truth of what's happening. the people of cuba are showing incredible courage, the biden administration said the exact words that i believe are showing cowardice. what should joe biden be doing? >> step up and be on the side of freedom. >> sean: we like to welcome up senator marco rubio. [cheers and applause] >> you and i, you and i talked about, and we've got to do something in miami. we wanted marco here, but he has senate votes and he got on a plane. rushed down here to be able to be. >> sean: barely made it. >> he's carrying a lot of load it up in washington on this issue. >> sean: i remember a number of times over the years, we've known each other for a long time and your fam

as on the crock continues, it spread at augustine has more from the capital havana. cuba says, as now vaccinated over 90 percent of its population with at least one dose of antique hybrid vaccine through it means that of all the countries in the world of the population of over 1000000 only the united arab emirates now has a better record. now there's no way of independently verifying the state spigots. however, they do have the ring of truth. back in august of the peak of upon demick, the states said about 910000 people a day were coming down with it. right now the infection rate according to the state is less than $100.00 a day. so that's less than one percent of this summer's peak and living and reporting here in cuba, over the summer on you, plenty of people that came down. okay, that are new people that died from david right now. reality has been transformed. i don't know anyone with it. and when i asked friends neighbors, i didn't know anyone. they also don't want my son that invariably comes back is no . cuba, the spring became the smallest country in the world to develop its ow

in fact i gave you the cuba example is probably a strong one. i'm think of no better antisocial's voting bloc in the united states and cuban immigrants in florida. the come to enjoy capitalist america. >> what you say to the argument that immigrants steal jobs, depress wage scale? >> that ape a popular belief in culture. social scientist to say the impact of immigration is no support for that. for over 30 years economists have been debating the wage impact in the employment impact on that native pigment comes to jobs there is no impact. it's the mix at the number of jobs but not the net number of them. immigrants displace american workers in one industry, more interest jobs are created in another industry. economic trigger international trade and labor through migration. it's a mix of jobs the relatively more productive at the case of international trade those are things they are relatively more productive at. but as of the pie gets bigger. in terms of net number of jobs and almost infinite demand for goods and services. we added more jobs. when

literally run out of cuba. my question is, going past the cia, i think -- i was wondering, is there the possibility that those in charge of the gambling industry, knowing that they were all too pleased when kennedy disappeared from the scene, did they have a role in putting kennedy away? i would like to know if you could comment on that. it is a tough question. host: ok, thank you. we will let him answer. guest: the caller's right, the gambling industry was very big in havana in the late 1950's. they were building hotels, they had extremely favorable income tax provisions, and they had a free hand, basically. they were making lots of money. when fidel castro took power, and had a left-wing government, they were driven out and they lost lots of money and they were very bitter about it. and they wanted to regain their standing. i think in recent years, i have not seen evidence that suggests organized crime were the intellectual authors of the assassination. i do think the fact jack ruby killed lee harvey oswald a

i have a back to country to cuba, all to find their own way, little elsewhere. these refugees have another option. they can formally apply for asylum before being deported, but then they'd risk being imprisoned back home. we asked carlos how he felt about that. but a fiddle, i thought, but as well, i'd rather spend my life in jail here than return to cuba. jobs are alkalis, al jazeera athens on pope has been speaking out about the situation. pope frances as warn the neglect of migrants as the ship rack of civilization is on a 5 day trip to greece. he held mass in athens after visiting refugees on the island of les boss, it's rare for a head of the roman catholic church to visit. we said is the 1st time this has happened in 20 years because of the 1000 year old dispute between e. yeah, with the eastern orthodox church. ah, just a quick look at the headlines now. incumbent president of the gambia adama barrow has a commanding lead. after preliminary election results were announced bought i could still be a legal challenge to this. barrow is elected in 2016 ending
