The Congressional Black Caucus and Cuba

" 680 WRKO it's Wednesday cloud cover look at that cloud cover. What -- unless we get to the -- we do yes we do we should do resist -- one which is -- we brought to us by ESP allies savings -- life insurance is Tedy -- choice -- life insurance it's an appropriate thing to do because the Red Sox had their opener last -- Ted Kennedy throughout the -- throughout the first -- he was -- breaking ball as our -- how the ago. And Josh Beckett went seven innings only gave up two hits one earned runs and strikeouts guess who hit it first inning home run it's -- the -- goes on and on for this guy's amazing Dustin Pedroia -- you know what's amazing I was there last night he short he's a very small guy little guy the little guy with a big punch nice to see you know what -- what's that. The pitcher so close to the batter. Us. -- And this is great news to Jason Varitek. First game of the season. In a home run a lot of questions about Varitek during the offseason as he lost his stuff in pretty good spring training so. That is a great stat and that is that Red Sox rewind for today they want to know folks -- continue to bring you. The rewind through the good graces in the sponsorship -- SP allies savings bank life insurance is Tedy Bruschi stories followed Hampshire poll. Let's -- we get paid because we did that I get -- I have no idea adjust to whatever management time get a little envelope -- podcast listeners in the audience and that kind of stuff it's just exciting to be able to. Are right so. Did that I I'm an. There are certain times that in it's happening more often when the true hand of the of the the evil ones who want to ensure the country is shown park a group from the congressional black caucus went to Cuba ten hang out with Fidel yes that bond with their brother. And I love this house. There are very I press today was his wife said she was a terrific hostess very hospitable and died basically I think they see. Cuba is a vision for what America can become -- if they have the ability to take their philosophies and put them into effect here I've always been amazed at the."

" The tendency of the American political left to celebrate one of the great Dick it is about time. In two try to suggest that some horror of the Cuban society is the society that we Americans. Should -- They talked about for example I know they. Put great great stock in the what is described as universal literacy that universal literacy has been achieved in Cuba and now I'm not in a position to judge how universal it is and how. How competent the literacy is but I do know this that in Cuba. You might be able to read you know also told what. To read. That you cannot read well can't afford books certain and he even if they could afford for Dow is going to decide which wine you can read this you can read that you can you can it it's it's not all the libraries -- a little that people will celebrate. This note and and by the way not to mix two subjects but we're on the globe by the last -- the globe as one of the principal. -- hands of this guy and they are the ones who always talked about. Isn't it great now when American terrorists who are going -- past regularly openly it is standard practice. Please bring cell. Please bring toilet paper that's not just vote your -- when heavy on personal idea hygienic needs might be. -- Whether it merits. Fidel Castro's approval I mean if the system was the same thing here so George Bush the last eight years would have been a judge of what you can't. In cannot read I'll take our society. Any day of the week with its open and frequent -- that's why everybody from the president on."

" Now that's why they had to run you out of office and they did -- Ted Stevens and that's not -- because you don't you're not on board yeah sure no I'm not out of the certainly not on board with the program. Yeah you you -- Fidel one of the great dictators. I don't even think he's a mediocre dictators dictators go for Dell's pretty pathetic he doesn't seem to care. About how awful the life is of his people know he doesn't do everything. But -- greater Israel you could have dictators who are benevolent -- held on to liberation was that powerful what more than fifty all that's all he cares and that's it while he's reached greatness in his realm. He says he's -- that's pretty -- good -- the -- last now he's failed dictator he's lasted because that country is so with our resources aren't any rocks to take to his house to throw -- to try to overthrow. Confidently talk about the books -- the library is the size of postal box you know nobody's got a little thing it's got three -- one out. And and people still tossed into prison regularly for the expression of opinions are you know somebody who says -- don't like Todd and Tom then they should be generous thinks there is -- the -- of the conversation is the congressional black caucus went to visit to do some bonding. And they came back with glowing reports. About Fidel Castro -- the fifteen year embargo just hasn't worked said CBC chairwoman Barbara Lee a Democrat from California. She told reporters at the capitol at a press conference after returning from. The visit of the delegation Cuba the bottom line is that we believe it's time to open dialogue. With Cuba -- and others heaped praise on Castro calling him warm and receptive. During their discussions and out. What's his name Bobby rush the congressman from. He's your favor congressman because he's the only guy he's he beat Iraq he's the only guy only guys ever be Barack Obama's election what -- Bobby rush say. When he got back binary rush was kind of glowing about it."

" Yeah he's he described he said that a -- known in what was agreed that -- was okay I can start out as the very energetic. I was it was that was that Barbara Lee is almost I don't know we have probably remember."

" Play wanna. It was almost like I'm -- name. I know where it."

" Nobody rush apparently this was last thing you -- before -- he's planning to die for felt so we're not true is if his observations -- that can opt opt out -- Bobby rush said it was like visiting with an old friend it'll set the -- house was modest and his wife was delightful. And these -- this that's Liberal Democrats is what they're up to this is a bit this is this is a big being lobby and there's no question about it and apparently now this a statement that Fidel Castro put out with a lot of specificity. Talking about another representative said this another representative said that -- he attributes to know without name of the particular person a fourth member of the caucus said. That despite Barack Obama's electoral victory. The American society continues to be racist. Continues to be racist and notice."

" Another great love of liberals go to another country and in order to make them want -- Because tell them how bad American -- The president just did this in Europe did it began in the Middle East you know and in he's we we've seen frequently Hollywood actors all shot as his -- as they get over -- Sean Penn worships this guy and now he's got a congressional -- congress going go to Cuba. And talking about what a piece of garbage America is and how much. How much they love -- what is wrong with these people other then. Joe McCarthy was right and we are infected in this country we have to find a way to root them out unfortunately McCarthy screw things up. He forced the radicals underground yeah. Now they've. I think -- saying I don't I really don't think you have to root them out I -- you know and I -- play any of -- apparently are make room for difference of opinion but -- or we are -- into very -- of this country people who don't believe in the United States of America are in charge of the country. No not that's I think that's an overstatement. -- this is a particular opinion held by the black caucus and -- Barack Obama does not believe in the US constitution he wants to make it so that. The results of your life for guarantee by the government that is while the -- patently. Unconstitutional. To call every way and you that he was a highly respected constitutional scholar who taught -- yes he was studying -- bad enough for you the -- told us he was starting in order. So that he could further. Propel himself into the lead of how to undo what the constitution says he's looking for the nooks and crannies in demand created through generations. A bizarre decisions from weird liberal judges because -- you know this is just done an amazing wonderful thing happen Vermont yesterday -- legalized. Gay marriage and guess how they did at the fourth state to legalize gay marriage. A remarkable innovative thing the liberals had never thought of before which that they had a vote of the -- legislation and it got past show up this is. They may actually tried this again some day -- up a 6172666860. Do you like the model of Cuba for the future of the US or do you think we should be more like Saudi Arabia of the countries the liberals worship at the altar. Which you think is the best model the congressional black caucus seems to think it's Cuba six point 72666. Seats succeeds to -- tops field you're on W are you good morning."

" Good morning yeah right now. Article at shrug. Well good timing to be re reading the blacks are lots -- old enough to walk -- you and Brad Coleman -- work. 1108. Yeah it's a little. I'm gonna go out back you'd be. -- credible and you read it obviously some extreme. Create. But absolutely. Out yet -- is all. About well -- well destruction. And that it should much crap he got out I never took -- the opt out. Freedom create wealth and create opportunity and the other way is it not work. Out -- order all of spear or. Ability for the -- when his current strategic air itself well."

" Do people who continue to aspire to any type of personal professional success continue to look for -- fought and died -- any opportunity to escape any opportunity to escape otherwise you can always just put on the yell. You know and just kind of say okay I guess this is my life you subject yourself to what was known as the Goliath and the Soviet Union it's it's you know it's just it's a wobbled to --"

" Do it is still highlighted -- he provided some specifics that I think are very important conversation what we're talking about our systems that either work for people are down the brilliance of America's it's based on you rewarding human ingenuity and effort. And allowing people to plot their own course and in letting their dreams and their aspirations in their efforts lead them wherever it leads them. And liberalism is about something different something un American something is not enumerated are given an opportunity to exist in the constitution and that is top down management. In which the government decides whether you succeed and not. And they're the ones who hand out the success trip that is Soviet Union that is Fidel Castro. That is not George Washington Abraham Lincoln that is not united states of market simply is not we need to wake up to this fact -- people think I'm outrageous when I talk like this. I am stating -- comments -- plane -- his -- I think it's absolutely economic history I think -- world history its political history all right."

" when identified liberals. That congressional black caucus went to Cuba comes on talking about how wonderful Fidel Castro is and how we have to open things up with him why why do we have to bond with the worst government in the history of mankind why are they so eager to embrace it. Why are they so eager to embrace all the talk about how. It was. The whole apple why do they get turned on by this apparently he's a hospital. So they -- what we devious and twinkies that had been on the cabinet since 1957. And they found out that they don't go bad."

" And about a micro -- so that example Bob lord -- New Hampshire NWR -- Good morning -- ally yeah. Yup freezing your should've got the -- Huber as well you'd be wall. You'd be DP but he'd be wall."

" Now he's found a good deal on an island. Right they could say their wide state there they're busy Jan trying to recreate. They're fantasy land of Cuba they want that to happen up here as well. They simply do -- in Medford good morning."

" I'm comment is I mean I think. Government definitely work -- capitalism free speech democracy. And I just want to consider -- that a lot of these countries that have. Many programs that are. Very socialistic in nature. I ain't that you know sometimes when you don't have system. Place in the country like United States we you know leadership -- not accountable is not sure what that. You know things don't get at hand and they keep me they'll have assistants sent people back thinking about all well you know let's have you. It -- it because it's so expensive and so many people calling out. So didn't. Again I think we are going to great country. You know I I like the idea. In this country. I think that you know we are. Very much about human rights civil rights you know at least quit talking about the ideas we may not be perfect but at least. -- ideas on the cable. You know again let people at talking about ideas that you know. Walks. You know -- states last you have to wonder why why is that been brought to --"

" Because it's very easy to soften people up it's a very very easy to convince them that something is difficult and that. Government can be the solution to that difficulty. They then become complacent they then become dependent that then become folk or better or worse much from a usually much for the worst. Wards of the state in some way and that dependency -- ever greater dependency but we need more than anything else is exactly what -- said. Constant reminders that the nation. The nations that survive and prosper the best in the longest with the best quality of life for most of this citizens is the nation that stresses individual responsibility. And individual enterprise setting such a Cambridge."

" All hail the -- right this is this the Cuban national anthem is a -- yeah. There we go."

" Look at all's -- McCain -- standing exaggerated statement and it's amazing -- absolutely I don't know I know how to solo not opt out they just infidelity on the around --"

" Morning your W yeah hey guys log I wouldn't be too idealized and it's just say talk date you're interested of history -- you -- lot about history. The fact that. Speed just outside figured out which favored. I've figured out spotted touching you guys are brought the product goes overseas it has no one -- think it's their country now don't want thank you get. I mean I taught. I know -- Yes -- think it's so we could think -- that -- to touch. We have one thing to say -- beds and what they can now also we're going to loosen restrictions to Cuba updated -- 250 years in the fight communism. And -- and it's right our doorstep it's west keep or what ninety mile."

" Larry and -- imagine it is -- hey Larry. That unaware that it Fidel abolish house though all religions sure yeah sure Communist I absolutely no religion. I want to go to mass no you don't don't go going to go to prison. Are you guys you pray at the altar Fidel Leo hey Larry good morning."

" I had -- are about the Paris IQ -- in -- All these years you know it's expected you know -- right that the boat people out think -- a -- You know -- they're like propane it's -- while we ever hit but it and that. Not late all of a year ago at the chip it's built mind boggling meat that we needed just like that up the map."

" Alice I pray I'll historically does not do that he was up then it's just different than half we have to respect. Our differences. We have to celebrate diversity neither one of you wake up -- either one of you want to go trampling around the world. And extinguishing countries and people with whom we disagree you'd want to do don't you realize that there are thousands of people every day traveling to Cuba for medical care. Why would -- I have not been opt out. The congressional black caucus actually have the gall to go there and come back and talk about that or if Fidel. And they did this to me as were heading as a nation now that we have you know maybe he's not a Communist maybe justice socialist there's not that much different now but that's all we have in the White House right now. And I think it's time that we got our guard up and started to campaign to follow the constitution. Of the United States and it's a great one it is we'd like to we like to talk about the glory of our founders and then. Pay no attention paid no heed to while they -- liberal senator wrote six point 72666868. Thomas toxic CD WRKO."

" It's just -- await your view of every day and talk about the world little large. Fine murder and Finneran on Boston's talked visionary I am --"
