Cuba has Special Needs | History Hyenas

Taco Bell has launched a limited-time spicy crispy chicken crunch wrap slider featuring Diablo Ranch or all-white meat nuggets, a new addition to its menu available at participating U.S. locations. The episode quickly shifts into a satirical and in-depth discussion about Cuba’s "special period" — the 1990s economic crisis that followed the collapse of the Soviet Union. Without Soviet subsidies, Cuba’s economy collapsed, leading to severe shortages, rationing, and a return to horse-drawn transport. The hosts argue that central planning failed, while capitalist countries like Poland and Vietnam achieved growth by opening their markets. The U.S. blockade on Cuba is criticized as counterproductive, with the hosts suggesting that soft power and cultural influence would be more effective than economic sanctions. The narrative blends historical facts with sharp, humorous commentary, including absurd personal anecdotes about foot wiggling, internet culture, and niche interests. Ultimately, the episode critiques rigid ideologies, advocating for a hybrid economy and emphasizing the futility of ideological confrontation. It also highlights the irony of global political posturing, from U.S. sanctions to cultural references like Kneecap dressing like Hamas, while maintaining a tone of irreverent, self-aware satire. The discussion concludes with a broader reflection on humanity’s desire to return to simpler, nostalgic times — a recurring theme in the hosts’ commentary.

they're blocking they're blocked yes they're behind the big toe and you see what happens with my foot here yeah is is cuz right now I'm holding it up and this is painful so my natural is just this it just flops yeah the funny thing about your feet cuz ask me to flex my toes flex your toes you know what the funny thing is if you left the footprint I would know you were the murderer cuz there would be no toe prints no toe because your toes don't actually touch the ground no can't touch can you push them forward what push the other toes forward I can't I could just move the big toe and then the one see I can only move this one cuz it's connected but the rest of them don't move cuz I can't see your other toes the rest of them don't move yeah I can't see it yeah cuz it's bad right yeah yes I don't know the bottom of my feet yellow my kids tell me the bottom of my feet looks like I dipped in a macaroni and cheese powder no but you have a big bump on the side there right because that's that that's uh like an achilles heel like a like a corn like a it's uh some it's some type of um it's on the bone it's like extra calcium buildup from just getting beat up and this the and think about these puppies have been smushed into high heels multiple times that's the thing it looks like they were shaped at a heel it looks like your toes never got the message that there was more room in the shoe yeah and you know what's unfortunate cuz is my beautiful baby daughter has my feet which she came out of the womb violet she came out of the womb with the toes like this and jasmine was the first thing jasmine looked at because jasmine's got jasmine's a beautiful beautiful girl 10 out of 10 but her feet look like princess fiona from shrek she's got some bad she's got some flat flat feet got doubled up a lot of times it looks like she's just wearing stubs her feet look melted into the floor so combined you know combined she's got some flat feet combined you know jasmine's beautiful but unfortunately she's got her pop's feet right right so that's you know and so but my daughter you know it's what it is it's better than getting your pop's face because sometimes you look at a girl and you go she got her dad's got her dad's face yeah he's got her dad's face unfortunately yeah it's what it is so it's better to just have the feet yeah i mean the guy fabio 1250 wrote speechless in loop from half an hour two of my fetishes together leather shoes and wrinkled feet that's what he likes and he wrote speechless s p e a c h like a peach i will say this about the guy's feet he does like the feet are symmetrical yeah he's got great feet and he's the only thing is though if he's wearing those with no socks he's gonna have fumes he's definitely well it's a guy's foot so i can't believe any guy would want to put that in the mouth or any guy would want to his partner he puts his feet in his mouth big yeah so it just shows you everyone's we got different brains right with the same species different brains there's no species on the planet interspecies that has as much variation as we do right you don't go and one goes you know i i like uh male tiger's feet and i like women's tiger's feet right it's just they're pretty much tigers they're just tigers and it's what it is yeah guys and these are bears yes these are bears and cubs yeah yeah this guy's just what it is yeah handsome older gentleman though very handsome older gentleman yeah very good very good put together a lot more in shape than his boyfriend who's who has anteater tits right there right yes but look at this right this is just this is just for some people but not for me. - Right. - See, I'm into it, I'm okay with this. Do you like to look at it? Yeah, yeah. And the Seattle dad is the other guy. All right, good. Yeah. Good for these boys. This is called bare beard brushing. Yo, listen, there's a place for everybody. Nick, don't you feel, how do you feel with this, Nick? You guys are fucking gay. Now, does this calm you down watching this? Calms me down. Yeah. Calms me down. And you know what actually really has been calming me down is petting my dog. Calms me down. That's what it does. I've been picking her up like a baby. Do you ever do that? You pick her up like a baby and hold her? My guys, both my dogs are way too big to pick up. They won't let her. Yeah, they're just too big to hold now. My dog is 70 pounds and my other one's like 67 pounds. They're just big dogs. Big dogs. Can't pick them up. My daughters are getting so big it makes me feel weak now. It's tough to pick them up. Yeah, you need to go to the gym, cuz. Yeah, my wife picks them up easier. Yeah, your wife's in better shape than you were at the wedding with her. Yeah, she's, my wife, I don't know, women can put them on the hip a little better. No, you know what it is, too? You know what it is? They have like a hip thing. The hip thing and also, too, even with me, I'm joking, Jazza will still pick up my 10-year-old at times. She just does it. And also, kids just want to be with their ma's. They don't really want to be with their dads. Yeah, they don't want to be with their dads. Well, you throw, I put my kids on my shoulders a lot. You do shoulders? I do shoulders a lot. Shoulders a lot. Big. I do shoulders a lot and then we play a game called control your head where she just moves my head like that and I follow the direction. Or horsey. You horsey go around with them, you know, on the back, horsey, or if you're doing a workout and you incorporate them. Use them as the weights. You could do that. When you're working out now with guys like us, when you got little kids, you're working out for your kids. There were times when my daughters were younger where I'd be like, oh, let me go into the gym, but they wanted to play. But now I don't do that. I'm like, if they want to play, I'm like, this is the work. You're working out so you can play with your kids. Let me ask you this. When I do this with her up and down, could that have been when I pulled it? Well, that could have been when you pulled it, but it could have been. I'm not 100% sure. Because I do this. Right. But it's definitely, you know, making it worse. But I mean, cuz, you got to do it to your daughters. You got to pick up your daughters. Yeah. I got a crook in my back. You got a crook in your back. Yeah. And I've never heard the word crook, but I like it. Crook. Crook. A crack. Don't they call it a crook or a crack? I don't know. Crink? Well, you're the doctor. You're the one who feels. Cuz, I'll tell you this. What's the official? Even though I'm not a doctor, I can tell you that a crook is not medical jargon. You've heard that, right? My neck is crooked. Kink. Kink. I got a kink in my back. Yeah. Yeah. Well, Chrissy's got a kink on his Instagram. Yeah. I got a kink. Right now, we're looking at a kink on Instagram. Now, again, talking about our beautiful nation and the United States of America, again, what is acceptable? We accept everybody here, okay? You can have an Instagram account where you're wiggling your toes, and it can get likes and hearts, emojis, in a place like Cuba that's mostly communist. I don't know if they'll even let you have Instagram there, okay? Right? Well, will they? They probably won't. So, again. It's very controlled. We're going to talk about a little time period in Cuban history called the special period, okay? And the island was taken over by special needs kids. That's what it is. Yeah. Five, 14. Yeah. Could you imagine if that happened? Yeah. They call it the special period. I don't know why they call this period the special period. But it's funny. Yeah. But Cuba. First of all, Cuban girls got. Are we on the Patreon? No, this is the YouTube. So, Cuban girls got fun personalities. Yeah. Yeah. Cuban girls are hot, and they're Jews. Yeah. They're Jews? A lot of Cubans are Jews, right? Yeah. That's a fact. They got Jews in all those countries. But a lot of Cuban Jews, and they're hot. Cuban girls are gorgeous. Like, the Mexican president is Jewish, right? Yeah. I mean, this is a little too hard to take. Yeah. It's just. It's just actually a little too hard to take. Like, it's a little too much. Like, look at this. Go to Pin by Basque. Now, I go, like, see down in the one more over. I mean, yeah. Like, it's a little too hard to take. Because, you know, usually what snaps you out of it is you say, well, think about, like, if she was shitting on you, and, like, her smells. And then you're like, oh, that's nasty. But, like, truth is, I'd open my mouth. Yeah. That's what I say. Some girls, you just want to slurp their poop. Right. It's just what it is. We can get in trouble from the wives, but there's nothing we can do. Because that's the male brain going, like, I can't handle it. Like, whatever you want, I'll slurp your poop. Yep. Yep. Yeah. I mean, look at that. You know, I'd rather watch, you know, the fucking prayer group in Washington Square Park. Yeah. Yeah. I mean, from the equator down, you're just going to get a nice, you're just going to get, you know how bananas grow in certain areas? Yeah. Tobacco grows in certain climates. Yeah. Just hot women grow in certain climates, and they just look nice. They got a golden look. Mediterranean in Europe, all the way down to the Caribbean. In the United States, you're just going to get yourself a nice golden babe. That's what it is. You're going to get yourself a golden babe. You know, and I like saying the word babe. We talked about the babes of Iran. Yeah. I like to now talk about the babes of Cuba. If you're a babe, the thing is from whatever country you're from, if you're a babe, you're in. That's what it is. And that's the way it is at nightclubs. That's the way it is in the world. We have our own idea on what the immigration policy of the United States should be, and I think all men are in agreement. Yeah. I don't think it's unique to the history hyenas. I think every man has the same idea. It's like, open the border, sex-based. That's what it is. Yeah. Ladies in, guys, no. Out. Yeah, you're a babe. Yeah, it's just what it is. Now, cuz, tell me about the special period, because you were big this morning. I said, what do you want to do? Here's what I texted you this morning. Yeah. And we're back. And we're back. You can go, just go to, if you want to join at our highest tier, you can enjoy some of our text messages. They're a little less. It's a PC. Yeah. Yeah. It's what it is. They're NC-17. Patreon.com slash history hyenas, where all the fun happens. I mean, tell me about Cuba, cuz. Cuz. You got on your Cuba gear today. Cuba. They love jamon. Jamon. Cuban sandwich. It's just jamon and mustard. My name is Cuban Pete. I'm the king of the salsa beat. And my pedo maracos, I go chick, chicky, boom, chick, chicky, boom. That's from The Mask. Yeah. Cubans, you know, Miami is mostly Cuba. They're mostly Cuban. Miami. They're mostly Cuban, the sons and daughters or grandchildren or direct refugees from the island of Cuba who tend, who tend to vote to the right. Right. They turn to right, vote to the right and they don't like Castro. They get very offended by Castro. Oh, I thought they liked him. No. In Miami? Oh, not Miami. Right, right, right. Yeah, not Miami. So, Cuba's an island. It's 90 miles away. It's off the coast of Florida. It's so close to us. And it's one of the two fully communist countries left. There's only two left. North Korea and Cuba. Cuba. I mean, you got Laos and you got Vietnam and you got China. But those three countries have opened up their markets. Right. And what's happened when they've opened up their markets is that those countries have started to do real good. Right. Unfortunately. They've done. And I get it. Look, I hate capitalism too. It's arrogant. It's like the Patriots. They always win. Yeah. And they're annoying about it. Yeah. Just once, I would love to see a country have a financial turnaround. And it was due to the long-term economic effects of Hassan Piker's live streams. Yes. But we haven't had that yet. Right. We have not had that yet. Yeah. That was a wild thing you sent me. Yeah. But so far, it's been capitalism that just seems to work. But Cuba don't got none of that. They don't have any of that. They don't got any of that. Now, Cuba. Are you a capitalist kid? I'm a capitalist cutie. I like capitalism big. But I think that somebody was telling me that Trump said that he's going to take Cuba for the United States. Did you see that? Yeah. He just said, I'll do what I want with it. Do I have a video of that? Yeah. Some places probably. He just goes, what are you going to do about Cuba? He said, I'll do it. I'll decide and I'll do whatever I want with it. I mean, it would be nice to have Cuba at 90 miles off the coast of Florida. It'd be nice because there's some babes in Cuba. There's some babes. But right now, what him and Rubio are doing, unfortunately, is they're straining. They're strangling Cuba. Why? What are they doing? They've got a nice little blockade on it. They're not letting any oil come in. They're really, they're putting a squeeze on. And is that because, is the fear there that, you know, with the potential war with Russia or in Iran and all that, that they don't want Cuba to like, they want it to be like a staging ground or something for their enemy? Why are they choking out Cuba? Because it's in our hemisphere, the Monroe Doctrine, and we're going China out. We're taking everything. It's all going to be American. We're not going to, we're, you know, we've had this policy since, you know, since the 50s or whatever, all the way back to JFK that like, you know, we have sanctions on Cuba and Cuba is our moral enemy and they're communists and we're capitalists. It's a Cold War proxy, you know, Bay of Pigs, all that, you know, the deal. Right. So it was a capitalist place. It was a corrupt capitalist place. But it's not anymore. And yeah, it was under Bautista and the guys before him and they were, you know, it was, it became a mafia playground and corrupt. And, you know, there was a lot of wealth inequality and tourism was big and casinos and shit. And then Castro came in and he said, viva Cuba and we're going to, for the workers and we're kicking capitalism out. And they became communist cuties. It's communist cuties. Sergio went to Cuba. I know. Do you know that? Should we call him? Let's call him up. Let's call him up. Yeah. Because I don't think he loved it, but I think he's going to say it was great. Let's see. You know who went to Cuba and just was honest, like just told, Angelo Lozada was like, I hated it. Did he go with Sergio? He was like, you go to a store and there's like one box of band-aids on the shelf. You got to go louder on it. Yeah. Let's see. Hello. Sergio's a white kid with a lot of Portuguese and Spanish conquistador DNA family events I'm gonna help you you're on the podcast I can't talk now I thought it was an emergency we wanted to ask you about Cuba I can't do it right now I'm being naughty what are you doing?

I don't know man, it wasn't there wasn't a lot of excitement there it felt like a very it was reduced to virtually there's no internet you know you gotta go to the park to get internet and yeah, it

drug products which the FDA does not approve or verify for safety so you know Cuba had the revolution and then from there on America was like no bueno no bueno no bueno we don't like you and so they were like we're not gonna trade with you and then blah blah blah blah blah and then the Soviet Union see well a lot of people what I find interesting is a lot of people don't know that the Soviet Union used to subsidize a lot of these countries cuz they wanted them to work they wanted they were trying to spread communism we were trying to spread capitalism everyone always thinks it's just us right that was doing like the influence no the soft power and the you know we were doing it with the CIA and stuff like that they were doing it with like subsidies so they were sending like cheap oil they would send like rice they would send money they were you know they were helping Cuba a lot right right and then the Soviet Union was doing that for a lot of countries they were doing that for Vietnam they were doing it just like we were doing it for other countries they were sending it to the Eastern Bloc Hungary, Romania the miscellaneous white countries yes Poland yeah and then they crumbled they overspent and then when they had their when Gorbachev had the peristroka and he was like alright we're cutting off all of our aid to these countries and then boom so the teat the teat stopped for Cuba and then Cuba completely crashed and that is what we call the special period yeah and that brings us that was 1991 that was a big time you were like just a little baby I was a little seven year old little baby you were a seven year old baby this was big news on TV I was what we call a Hitler youth yeah it was a Hitler youth day yeah but this was a time it was all over the news the the the East German wall came down Germany got reunited the Eastern Bloc fell right Soviet Union broke up and people were going like communism's over right like oh it just didn't work yeah and then a little kid kid named Mondami was born somewhere in Sri Lanka or something yeah Uganda Uganda and they were like bring it back but wait so it's theoretically then so the only two but what makes a country communist like why is Cuba and North Korea like they don't have you cannot trade with them at all zero America doesn't trade with Cuba but then Obama tried to open it up a little bit he did for a little bit and then Trump came in and reversed all that and what's the reason why Trump reversed it was to squeeze them was to get them out so he wants to get the who out the Russians no he wants to get the regime out he wants the regime out he wants the regime changed just like in Iran he wants the communists out so does that Rubio's Cuban and he wants them out so could it theoretically could we start dropping bombs on Cuba too no we're not going to drop bombs on Cuba that's not going to happen no we're not going to do that they're going to try to do this diplomatically I think we're going to run out of them over Iran I think we're running low yeah I think we're lighting it up yeah and I think we're going to run low I mean we don't have infinite amount of bombs no I know but pretty soon we're going to have to buy we're going to have to have the made in China that would be ironic if we start if the only place to turn to is Iran we got to buy the bombs from Iran and then use them yeah I was about to say because if we eventually buy in China do you think they're going to be made in China and they're going to bomb themselves yeah it's probably what it is yeah yeah no I don't think we're going to bomb Iran but what we what was happening so then we had this period called the special period it's a funny name it's a funny name for a very horrible thing so I don't know why it's called the special period yeah because it was things got really bad it's not special it wasn't special at all no no it wasn't special it was it was when Soviet Union collapsed then Cuba's kind of subsidy collapsed they were subsidizing them they were living off them right it was almost like Cuba was Nick still living at his mom's house right and then his mom was like you got to move out right and then Nick was like what yeah and then so Nick went through a special period right he went through a special period he went through a special period so that's funny if we were good if the special period if we were going to put the Cuba special period into a person we would have it dressed like Nick it would be dressed like NWO shirt orange sneakers yeah orange sneakers eating oatmeal he made from home exactly bringing a thermos kind of stuff yes yeah so and then Soviet Union the parents said we can't we can't give you we can't pay for this anymore right you got to go get a job right you got to go do something right and so Cuba panicked and they're like what are you talking about yeah I like to sit around and fucking just smoke weed and you know scroll my phone all day yeah that's what it is I like to jerk off to wrestlers from the 90s. So, their economy, like, collapsed quick. Right. It was 80% of their trade got lost. Just went straight down. Their fuel imports were gone, and their economy collapsed. And here's what's crazy about it. It happened so fast, I think their GDP, like, shrunk, like, 30% immediately. Some number. Who cares? It's egghead shit. The point is, they started bringing back horse and buggies. Wow. Yeah. In 1991. In 1991, they started bringing back horse and buggies. Holy smokes. And their grid, you know, their grid's been going down forever. Because right now, it's relevant because there's a flotilla that went there to save. We got flotillas going. Well, Greta Thunberg? But it's Hassan Piker and a couple others. They went on a flotilla or a flytilla. Right. And they got in a plane, and they're going to give aid to the Cubans because there's a blackout. There's, like, they're getting no electricity. They have to ration the electricity. So, what are they going to do to help them? Well, they're fucked right now because they were getting their oil from Cuba, and America just took out their guy, Maduro. Right. So, now we're going, no. And now we're blocking all their oil. Yeah, this Irish hip-hop group, Kneecap, joined, and they dress like Hamas, right? Yeah. Now, what is a flotilla? I don't, that's what I'm saying. Because there was a flotilla that went to Gaza, too. What is a flotilla? So, it says, aid delivered to carry approximately 30 to 50 tons of supplies, including rice, beans, medicine, and roughly 100 solar panels to help with the island's power shortages. The main ships were expected to dock in Havana March 21st, 2026, and the flotilla set sail from the coast of Mexico. Yeah, I mean, the, what Cuba has is tons of sugar. They got a lot of sugar. They used to be a prosperous, they used to make so much sugar. Now, the amount of sugar they make is less than the sugar that they made in, like, in the 1880s. Really? Yeah, it's just, like. Azucar. Yeah, azucar. You just can't get them to produce the sugar the way that they did. You know, it's centralization, right? Right. So, it's like, the government runs everything, and so they went through this special period where they started, they just, you had to pick up your date in a horse and buggy. It's what it is. You had to get Cinderella back home before midnight. So, it's not like, it's just, it's pretty simple that, like, because I know somebody could talk us into it, why communism could be better and show you, but the truth is, you don't have to rack your brain. Communism just doesn't work with human beings. I thought we were there. It just doesn't work. I thought we had reached a period where we were like, unfettered capitalism doesn't work, right? We saw the stock market crash. We, you know, we got close to unfettered capitalism and like, oh, this is, you know, it creates inequality, right? Because you look at it, it's like, they both create inequality. It's funny when communists say, like, oh, capitalism creates inequality. You go, well, how about communism? Yeah. It's just Jordan and LeBron. That's all it is. I mean, yes, capitalism creates inequality. We're seeing it now, right? But look at communism. I would say communism inequality. Might even be more because there's actually less people at the top and more people at the bottom, right? So there's no middle. Yeah. There's nobody. Nobody has any money in Cuba besides the tippity tippity top. No. And the interesting thing about this is I think people just think that like, we're the only ones who does like foreign meddling and stuff like that. But, you know, the United States, the USSR was like giving them stuff like to prop them up. Right. Like we do with our proxies. Right. So they were buying sugar. Like at a high price, like they were overpaying for the Cuban sugar. Right. In order to help Cuba. Right. We're sending them cheap oil and letting them resell the oil to make money. Right. It was all it was like it never was a sustainable thing. It was propped up by the Soviet Union. By the Soviet Union. Yeah. And I saw I just saw that Raul Castro in 2006 Fidel's brother. I'm sorry. Fidel Castro's fortune in 2006 was 900 million. No, no, no. Yeah. Should we pick it up? Should we pick it up, Timmy D? Sure. Pick it up. Ask him what he thinks about Cuba. Or maybe not. Right. Should we do it? Tim. What's up? What's up, baby? We're on the pod. We're on the hyenas. How? Which? Who? You and Yannis? Me and Yannis. History hyenas. We were just talking about Cuba. What's going on? What do you guys think about that? We think that, you know, Hassan and. Is Yannis there? Yannis is here. Yannis, can you hear me? I can hear you. Awesome. So a mozzarella sticks here. Cheeseburger deluxe. Thanks. Chris, keep going. Thank you, Yannis. Medium rare. Thank you. Chris, keep going. See? He wants the Greeks back in the diners. We were saying before, we want the world. Chris, back in the diners. Yeah. We want the world the way it was with all the Greeks back in the diners, the Koreans back in the fruit markets. Yes. The Irish back in uniform. Yeah. You know? Yeah. Yeah. I think the Irish need to go back to running New York City. Respect them. Donnie, respect the call to prayer. But the Irish with their stubby little penises and their violent tendencies need to go back to running New York City. They do have stubby penises. Yeah. No, we're just talking about, you know, the, the, the, the flotilla of influencers going to help Cuba and we're just trying to break it down. We were just breaking it down and we were, our conclusion is communism has never been shown a fair shake. Yeah. Yeah. I don't, you know, I'm against going physically to any place to help anyone. Right. I agree with that. Yeah. I don't believe in it. I believe in doing it on the internet. Yes. Right. That's how you can get things done. Yeah. I don't believe in physically going and being confronted with my ideas. I would just rather. Yes. I don't want to see it. Yes. Who went? Hassan Piker and kneecap. Yeah. Yeah. But we were just talking. Yeah. We were talking about kneecap. Yeah. And they dressed like Hamas. Well, I do like them. You know, they are from Ireland. So I do have to say respect to kneecap. And, and if my agent hears this, I'll delete it. I just, I, I hope we don't go into Cuba. I know Cuba's weak, but everybody's, you know, we don't need this. How about I, I want to go back to old criminal Trump. Yes. Right. Like, let's just go back to con artist Trump. Yes. That was fun. Yeah. You're aren't we tired of us punching down? I mean, I ran in Cuba. We're punching down now. If we not, if we didn't learn anything from the culture of sensitivity, we have to stop punching down. Yeah. Well, I mean, I guess I ran, we're punching down. It feels like they're punching back pretty good. Yeah. I feel like I ran pretty well. Um, now, I mean, I hope this ends. I think gas is $6 or something or like on average. Well, thank God. Well, thank God you got your car stolen. Yeah, that's right. Thank God. Yeah. Yeah. Thank God. Best thing that ever happened to you. Yeah. Now you see, I don't look so pedestrian for getting a Tesla now, do I? Oh yeah. I look like a smart Jew. That's true. Yeah, it is true. Now I'll call you later. Let's hang out. Let's all, let's all get a lunch this week. Yeah. I mean, I'm in, I'm, I'm back. I had to come back to LA for some stuff, but when I'm back. Yeah. Because you have to just get a little way. Once you, you know, once we saw the prayer rocks and watch the square park, there was a lot of flights leaving New York. I just, you know, the thing about LA is it's just white Mexican and it's fine. You're either just doing white stuff, like saying eggs Benedict, no bread. And then you eat the hash brown, which is worse than the bread. And then if you're Mexican, you go see Joe coin fluffy at the arena. Yeah. And everyone's happy. That's it. Everyone's happy. Nobody's doing anything. Love you both. Love you, man. Thank you. Bye. Yeah, you're right. That's what they're not telling the people is that there's such weights at the airport because when they saw those videos from Washington square park, people just booked flights. Yeah. They said, see you later, alligator. We'll see you later, buddy. So yeah, I mean, it's just Cuba right now is getting choked. It's getting squeezed by United States. I personally don't think that's a good move. I don't. I don't. I think soft power works better, right? We've never gone anywhere. Usually when we try to intervene with some or we, we can't change it from the outside. We got to change it the old school way. Propaganda. Yeah. A little Hollywood. Yeah. Sex. Yes. A little, a little, you know, a little Coca-Cola. Switch it up. A little music. A little music. This is not the way I think like what we were saying earlier in the show. Maybe we said it on the patron is we wanted to, everybody just wants to go back to the way it was. Yeah. Everybody we want. I want the USSR to get back together. I want the USSR. I want Zangief from Street Fighter. I want him back. I want, I want the, the deep state to come back. I don't want to know what's going on. I like with Obama. The curtain was full. Maybe it was deporting more people and killing more people. Probably who, I don't know the numbers. It doesn't matter. I didn't know anything about it. Okay. I want punked with Ashton Kutcher to come back. I just want, I don't want to, I want the gatekeepers of Hollywood to come back. I want movies and TV shows and people molesting everyone. I, as I said, you know, if you want movies to get, to get good again, you bring, get Weinstein out of the jail cell. Let's go back to the way it was. Yes, there were problems. Okay. I want to get skull fucked by priest. Just go back. The world was running just fine when we didn't know anything about it. Bring it, tell Epstein to come out of hiding. We don't want to know about any more scandals. We don't want to know about any of that. Just, just, we want to go back into the confession booth and I want to be able to tell the priest that I swore that week. Yes. Do 13 Hail Marys. And that's what the concern of my week is. Yes. That's all. That's all that I want. That's all that I want as well. We need to go back. I just want to go back. I want to go back into Vietnam. Yeah. No. So yeah. I want to move back to Bay Ridge. Yeah. Do you want to go back to Bay Ridge? Let's go back to being single. Do you want to raise your family to Bay, in Bay Ridge? I want to go back to Greece. Do you really want to go all the way back to Greece? Would you go back? No. Are you going to take your family to Greece this summer? Maybe. Right. You keep saying you're going to take them. It's a little expensive right now. I think it's a good time to book a nice little tourist trip to Cuba. You want to go to Cuba. I want to be to Cuba if you're okay with getting InternetX, us only at the park and you know yeah it being dark and if Sergio if Sergio was saying it's not that nice then you know it's not that nice

fell and stuff like that and so I thought we were at that point I thought so too I thought we were at the point going oh that didn't work oh right unfettered capitalism worked the only thing that seems to work is a mixed economy a little bit of both you put them both into it was like Cuban Chinese fusion food right you just got to put them together put them together and then they work hybrid yeah I like Cuban uh Chinese fusion I love fusion food you like fusion you were on the network called fusion and it didn't work like communism didn't work it didn't work that way yeah that's the only time fusion doesn't work didn't work it's when you're on the network yeah so technically there's five communist countries left only one of the five Laos Vietnam China Cuba and the big one North Korea now North Korea is the big big one right and there's only two that are still ideologically and economically purely communist so the only reason why I said there's two left is because China still calls itself communist for ideological reasons but it's opened up its markets Laos has opened up its markets the Vietnam has opened up its markets right Poland of course went in one generation from like abject poverty to now it's the 20th biggest economy in the world and they're big they have a better GDP they have a better economy than Switzerland Poland does make the dump Polish jokes do it yeah Poland has they what has what they've done is is it and it's connected I think I don't know but their GDP has went way way up and their Muslim and Jewish population has went way way down Poland has they what has what they've done is it and it's connected I think I don't know but their GDP has went way way down I think maybe I don't know if the two related I don't know but they did become capitalist and they took off yep absolutely took off in one generation yeah one generation so it's like I don't know what we're doing right and then it's like you look at the countries that were communist that are doing well now Vietnam's doing well right Laos is starting to do well they're six percent growth China we know what happened in China they became a powerhouse yeah right because they adopted capitalism so there's only two holdouts left so I think part of what Trump is doing and markers were doing is going like we're going to stomp this last of these last ones out North Korea they can't stop out you'll never get North Korea will be communist forever it'll just be what it is right they got a nuke they got a nuke they got a nuke yeah if you got a nuke you're going to be left alone yeah you need a nuke because North Korea would throw a nuke at the United States no problem yeah they have a nuke so there's not you could do King John who's just he's it's just if somebody decided to truly throw a nuke at us do we really have defense capabilities to stop it or it was just a test I don't know but I think we talked about I think we would be alive a little longer because they'd hit our nuke arsenals which are in like Wyoming and Montana they're not gonna hit they're not gonna hit New York I think they'll go for that first defensively they'll try to take those out first they probably will hit New York unfortunately yeah when you're the cool kid that's you know they're not gonna they're not trying to hit Pottstown Pennsylvania I'm ready because I as I've told
