Yeah.

Which also, this is a pet peeve of mine, that nobody knows about.

It also, for the first time in American history, allowed the American government to propagandize the American people.

It was always illegal for our government to propagandize us.

What does it mean?

Well, for example, the Voice of America, that's our government's propaganda news outlet.

And we beam it overseas so everybody gets the official U.S.

point of view.

Okay.

Back in the 80s, the Reagan administration came up with these two broadcasters called Radio Marti and TV Marti to beam at Cuba.

And the Cubans try to jam them all the time.

But what they mostly are used for is to broadcast baseball games in Spanish, which the Cubans love.

Got it.

I flew down to Cuba to do a study.

I did a study for the Senate Foreign Relations Committee when I was the chief investigator there.

And-

Nobody watches TV Marti.

You can only actually get it in the waiting room of the US consulate.

Got it.

So if you're there to apply for a visa, you can watch a soap opera in Spanish that's American propaganda.
