Sen. Ted Cruz

Because you've got six decades of a machinery of repression that is built up.

And that machinery is hard to dislodge, but I will say the economic pressure is massive.

And it is weakening the existing government.

I'll tell you a story about Cuba.

So my tia Sonia has went back to Cuba several times.

And she described to me one time she went back and she was visiting a friend of hers from high school.

And she said this guy was kind of a mid-level Communist Party apparatchik.

And he had in his living room above the sofa, he had a painting or a photo of Fidel Castro hanging, like that was the main thing hanging on the wall.

And she described how he walked her into the kitchen and he closed the kitchen drapes so that no one could see in.

And he sat down at the kitchen table and she said he burst into tears and he just began weeping.

And he said to her, he said, Sonia, I look at you.

And she was there with my cousin, Bebe.

And Bebe is my first cousin.

She's this vivacious Latina.

She's beautiful.

And he's crying.

And he said, I look at you and I look at your daughter.

And she's so happy.

And she's so joyful.

And she has such a bright future ahead of her.
