Saturday's video: Remembering January 20, President Milei in Davos & more
Remembering January 20, President Milei in Davos & Happy # 90 Camilo Pascual......
It was 43 years ago today
A few days ago, I had a conversation with a college student who did not remember the US beating the USSR in the 1980 Winter Olympics. He could not relate to the story off the ice or what the world was like when that game was played. So I told the student to read a bit about President Reagan and get back to me for more conversations about communism. He did call me back and couldn't believe how deadly communism had been.
Like many of his generation, President Ronald Reagan was a strong anti-communist. He understood the evil empire and knew that you have to negotiate from a position of strength rather than weakness. Over the Christmas holidays, I found this from the late President Reagan:
“How do you tell a communist? Well, it’s someone who reads Marx and Lenin.
And how do you tell an anti-Communist? It’s someone who understands Marx and Lenin.”
In my life, I have found that this is true. Most people who favor communism in polls do not really understand what it means or have lived under it. They see it as some romantic idea based on false promises of equality and justice. On the other hand, we Cubans, along with others from who experienced communism directly, see it for what it is.
Communism was, and is, a great lie. We need to keep teaching that to the new generation.
And so I remember today one of my favorite anti-communists, or President Reagan who became president on this day in 1981.

A little history of The State of the Union speech!
Here is a little history: The first State of the Union speech was delivered by President Washington in January 1790.
President Jefferson started the tradition of the written statement in 1801. It stayed that way until President Wilson in 1913.
President Coolidge was the first one heard on radio in 1923.
President Truman delivered the one on TV in 1947.
Finally, President Johnson put it on prime time TV in 1966.
I think I've watched most of them since President Nixon. President Clinton's speech in the middle of the impeachment trial was bizarre.
