He goes by a few names that you may all have heard of. Some people know him as Tofu Tallarico. Some people call him Six Gender Jimmy. Now that vegan campaign that Paxton says he's running, this is because he has accused Tallarico of being a vegan, which he absolutely refutes. In fact, he says that he's been eating barbecue, the famous Texas dish, since before Ken Paxton's first indictment, which is quite a

The Democrats really can take the Senate, because that would be huge if they can win a majority in the Senate in November. They need four seats, don't they? And actually Texas isn't one of their targets. Texas isn't on the highest list that the national Democrats have come out with.

Kyllä, koska se on toinen asia. Olemme huomioineet näitä tuloksia keväällä, eikö niin, että kertoisitte meille, mitä se tarkoittaa vuonna 2028, ja onko tulevaisuus Trumpista, tai onko se moderatiivinen republikanismi, tai minkä suuntaan puolueet tulevat, kun hän ei voi mennä ulos, vaikka hän ei mennä ulos.

Minun täytyy sanoa, että kun aloin aloittaa Amerikan politiikkaa, en, mutta se oli, koska George W. Bush oli presidentti ja minä menin Midlantiin ja Odessaan ja sieltä tuli öljypohjaiset, jotka eivät ole Texasin suurimpia. Mutta nyt, kun olen ollut Houston, Dallas, San Antonio, El Paso, olen fani. Siellä on mielenkiintoisia pohjoisia. Isä opettiin El Pasoissa ja sinun ei voida mennä directti Austinista El Pasoista.

One of my favorite places I've visited in the U.S. is Marfa, Texas. I really, really like that. Big Bend National Park is high on my list of places to visit before I leave. I'm a fan of Texas races getting newsworthy. AmeriCast, field trip to Texas. Let's plan on it. That's a good one. Yes, yes. Anyway, right. We'll go off and make our plans for that. In the meantime, say bye-bye. Bye, y'all.

Here's our North America editor Sarah Smith. The ceasefire between the US and Iran has become even more fragile. American commanders said they attacked missile launch sites and boats attempting to lay mines in the Strait of Hormuz in an act of self-defense. The Iranian Revolutionary Guards said they had a legitimate right to retaliate against what they considered a breach of the truce and claimed they had shot down a US drone.

Sarah Smith.

Hello, it's Sarah here in the BBC's Washington bureau. And it's Anthony right next to Sarah here in Washington DC. And we're going to be joined a little bit later in the podcast by Carlos Curbelo, who you're going to be talking to, Anthony, aren't you? Former Republican congressman from Florida who is the son of Cuban exiles. Yeah, he's going to be able to shed some light on how the Cuban exile community in South Florida views the latest developments in Cuba. And he has some connections on the island as well. So it'll be an interesting look into what's going on in the politics of the Cuban community.

Jos muistat Nicolasa Maduroa, hänellä oli kriittiset vaikutukset häntä ja he käyttivät sitä järjestykseen mennä Caracas-Venezuelaan ja pysyä häntä ja saada hänet takaisin Yhdysvalloihin. Monet ihmiset näkevät tämän järjestelmän kuin jostain erilaista militiaalista toimintaa. Minun täytyy muistaa Raul Castro, hän ei ollut Kuuban puolustajana, hänen isänsä Fidel oli, mutta hän oli Kuuban armojen puolustajan puolustajana ja nyt, kun Fidelin kuuma on

että hän on tullut yliopistoon, vaikka hän on 94-vuotias. Joten hän on menossa vuosina. On kysymys siitä, kuinka paljon hän on osallistunut valtion päätöksentekoon.

at the beginning of the year, but I think that Venezuelan playbook is very much what Donald Trump wants us and wants the Cuban administration to be thinking about. Yeah, there was a huge military build-up around Venezuela, and we were remarking on it at the latter part of last year. There hasn't been a similar sort of build-up around Cuba, but then again Cuba is at its closest point only 90 miles from Florida, so it doesn't take that much for the United States to be able to project its military there.

Nyt Cuba on saavuttanut tämän vallan, Venäjän öljyn, sen jälkeen, kun se oli saavuttanut Maduroa. Se on loppunut. Kuvan ekonomi, öljyn ja Venäjän öljyn, ovat loppuneet, joten se on luotettu mahtavaa ympäristönkriisiä.

And there may be the hopes among the Americans that the pressure, the financial pressure, the economic hardship, the humanitarian hardship that Cuba is going through will force Cuba to make concessions short of having to send the United States military in.

Uskon, että Iranissa se, että regiimi ei huolehti niin paljon itsenäisestä ihmisestä. Se on valitettava regiimi, joka on valitettavasti halunnut tappaa itsensä omia ihmisiä, kun he käsittelevät järjestelmää tai yrittävät edistää hallitusta. Cuba voi olla samanlainen tilanne.

But the United States has made clear what it wants. John Ratcliffe, who is the head of the CIA, said that there needs to be fundamental change in the Cuban government. So essentially the United States is saying, you've got to get rid of Raul Castro, you have to get rid of the whole regime, you have to start democratizing, start opening the country up to American economic investment and trade, and in exchange,

All of this, the blockade that is preventing Cuba from trading with other countries, the economic sanctions, all of it would go away. We have offered in fact a hundred billion dollars in economic aid in the lifting of the oil blockade if Cuba relents and starts moving towards a more open free market type of economy. Which may well be what a lot of the citizenry want, but we're faced with the same

But that's exactly what Marco Rubio, the Secretary of State, has been asking, the American government has been asking. Here's Rubio talking to Fox News on Air Force One when they were en route to China last week about what he wants from Cuba. There is no economy in Cuba.

He is the child of Cuban immigrants. He represented Florida in the United States Senate, obviously representing a lot of the Cuban expatriate community in South Florida. He is very aware of this issue, has cared about this issue for a long time. I think one of his ultimate goals would be to see what in his view would be the liberation of Cuba. I think that if he could accomplish that, I think he would be able to

En un día como hoy, en el 1902, la bandera cubana hundió por primera vez.

Kybä on yksi lopulta lopullista kommunistista regiimistä. Se oli tietenkin fokussi kulttuurin ja kuban missiili-kriisiin. Silloin ihmiset voivat mennä takaisin ja katsoa historiallisia kirjoja siitä, kuinka lähellä Yhdysvallat ja Sovjetunnia tulivat nukleuskirjaukseen, jossa nukleusmissiilit pysyivät kubassa. Se on ollut jotain, mikä on pysähtynyt amerikkalaisen presidentin kanssa vuosina Dwight D. Eisenhowerin aikana.
