Title: Here and Now for Friday, June 19, 2009

" Here now is a production of WBUR Boston in association with the BBC world service and PRI. I'm -- Young it's here and now."

" Director of Indiana better. A rents supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei speaking from Tehran university in his broadcast to a Rand today. At times warm he says all Iranians participated in a form of worship. When they voted last week. But largely fears reaching back to the branch Davidian incident in Waco Texas as an example of US religious intolerance. And most important. Saying the street protests in Iran must stop or there would be consequences. What's been the reaction Marie Colvin is in -- she's foreign affairs correspondent for the times of London. -- what are people saying about companies called to and the protests."

" But I want to on Friday declared. A few people went there obviously supporters of mostly -- a magnet. So afterwards I spoke to -- they completely supported him in his view that these street protests should be stopped. He accused. America. Guilty Britain said that the bank for our country. -- being behind it and -- against people. Misquoted President Obama I think the president in the United States -- welcome in this day. It was a clarity. Uncompromising. Speech also said -- journal at work. Relaying the wrong news to the world and at least you get -- the correct address for example the Austrian. Television journalist Antonia was trying to do a stand up in front of the crowd that they were leaving and she and her have a regular -- But people chatting -- to the BBC that she was speaking in German tax. Okay nick is serving quite -- yet on -- streets and of course tomorrow. He will be the big cut another large demonstration scheduled for tomorrow."

" so you're saying that as a foreign correspondent today as the Ayatollah was condemning news is it was kind of tough to be on the streets but as you said. Tomorrow there is post -- rally at 4 PM a grand time yesterday opposition leader Amir -- the Saudi. Told his followers not to take to the streets today. But is there a sense that tomorrow may not go ahead because. Khamenei not only told the protesters not to take to the streets but said people who sent them to the streets would be held responsible it would -- that would be most of the."

" what he's had made it very clear that he would claim units in the puppy when he could have the blood would be on -- and -- every opposition. Kirkland. -- man and woman but it could you have. And have a -- on the streets with these demonstrations have said they planned to go out so it could be -- very big confrontation tomorrow."

" Well and and -- supreme leader went out of his way today. To say there is no velvet revolution going on here although others have said there might be he says the only revolution is Islamic from 1979. That. Put the ruling clerics in power to say that his view on social issues much closer to up Medina Judd then the other candidates. But we have been saying all week that what makes this different from 79 even 1999 the last student. Uprising is Twitter and FaceBook and the Internet and the fact that pictures of what's happening in -- Shooting around the world much faster. You a sense that the ruling clerics in Iran hardliners. Are aware of that and may. Restrain themselves tomorrow or do you get a sense that they don't care."

" Like -- I don't care and the -- gets within the last week realize the extent. Of the crisis. You receive that considering the kicking old he's down in which whatever technologies have -- here butler. On and off but actually doubtful about eighteen now today they just cut it off completely. Top exec would dance which it would count. They're now passed -- paper at the end of each demonstration. They're going to because of houses there for the first time on people on land mines. So they're trying to stay connected and Regina is clearly aware of their method to stay connected connected keeps blocking them."

" Well the Ayatollah said earlier this week that he would support a recount of the votes but today he said with such a huge lead eleven million votes how could their be fraud. He also said people Iranians have to trust the election process so did you. Take from today's speech that he's completely ruling out any recount -- did he leave the door open."

" He locked door opened to recount. Is quick to the guardian council that oversees elections that the group of about twelve not elected senior clerics. -- A recount is almost irrelevant because period -- at a gap of eleven million votes -- recap controlling. For extra boxes -- another ten. That didn't get kept in degrees fifteen in Tehran has darn well you know we're new Euro million that -- the only possible results. Of the recount would be updating dad's side -- but not quite so much so toward the received not played well sorry we missed. Up eleven million votes. Which means admitting that they cheated and that not going to happen yup that at that -- not settle for anything left in the reelection tree the collision course here."

" That's Marie Colvin foreign affairs correspondent for the times of London into Iran. -- the streets are relatively quiet today -- thanks so much for speaking with us. Father's Day is Sunday and this afternoon President Obama will launch a White House initiative to -- dad's. Obama has spoken and written about growing up without his own father present and now he's part of a new wave of fathering. Time magazine reports debts to -- typically spend about seven hours a week in primary child care now that doesn't sound like a lot. It's two and a half times more than dad -- in 1965. And back then dance weren't allowed to be at the birth. Now more and more are staying home full time the number has jumped from 64000. In 1995260002007. And more have recently joined them of the five million jobs lost to the recession 80% belong to men -- today. We want to take a look at fatherhood with Jeremy Adam Smith. Who took a year off from work to be a stay at home dad and discovered many things including good fathering makes a man's testosterone levels dropped. Jeremy joins us from the studios of youth radio in Oakland California welcome. Thank you great -- here in 2005. Euro wife went back to work full time and -- stayed home. What was your sense of your role is a dead before this."

" Well I think for the first hear my son's life really slow myself as supportive bystander. You know I watched the birth there was there. And I did as much as they could you know it is -- diaper changing is they could say you know I got up at night and actually allows -- sleeper -- whenever my son cried I would just wake -- like a shot that we -- just both be awake. But it really didn't know how to take care of him. And I think at a certain point it began to be curious to know who is this little guy and how do it take care of him."

" So at this point you're a little bit more involved -- to your child then let's say -- to traditionally been for ever. At the thinking in the past in the very near past was that dad supported families. By a making income and that was enough."

" Yeah I mean that was the definition of -- you went to work every day and he came home every night and you made enough money this is what my grandfather told me when interviewed for the book so that his wife and children would have enough and it was very noble stressful thing for the east it. Oh yeah especially for working class fathers and menial I think that my grandfather who worked quarry for forty years. You know that was backbreaking work and by the time he retired. His body was broken I mean he had sacrificed everything offers and we really."

" And a dad's spirit would be broken in the past if for instance they lost -- job because. They were the only breadwinners now women can and do work at 380% of mothers work with a third of whites who make more money than an instance. So it just putting your story in your child is one. And you decide I'm gonna find out more about the little guy what was it like -- first."

" Well it was very hard and if it's the biggest challenge for -- the thing that I'll always remember is that he would not sleep with me. He was accustomed to falling asleep on my way expressed you know we had to learn together how he could and they'll follow sleep with me and then later on a sound. -- could in a lot of ways does come naturally to us you know we're we're designed for parents however there's a lot have to learn."

" Will would you didn't notice at the time and you write I was alone with the code this is your little boy on a mountain. Looking down at everything at that point and you want to come down never had my daily life in brighter. Never had my imagination been darker which I mean. Well in particular."

" Passage I'm really talking about the feeling of isolation that I had but didn't see myself as being a stay at home dad. I had trouble seeing myself even as a parent at that point you know I was really going through a process of asking myself what my new identity was its."

" Fighting anything you probably didn't Todd you know you have to leave the cave and and -- an animal over the -- at home any. -- you feel."

" Well the short answer is yes I did I don't -- instinct -- that desire was it at war with another drive which was to take care of my son in China as much as possible to focus on the present moment and I think that a lot of the process of me coming to accept the care giving. This new stage of my life. Was being able to live in the present moment and really appreciate it you know it's just one moment in time. And I I went to be happy by taking everything I could out of -- moment in time."

" Well and also use it just picked up he said he didn't even want to call that feeling that you had an instinct. Implying that maybe it's more -- that's culturally taught us that really. Truly part of our cell structure because he started looking deep into. The new research about how fatherhood actually changes the male body at the molecular level indicating that you -- ER instincts. Are different and we think that they -- toes more about that molecular change we look."

" At our primate reproductive division of labor where women bear children and they press feed. In many contribute. Sperm. And we concluded that makes -- the natural caregiver. I mean we concluded that. You know parents could really hits mother's body very hard. And somehow adapt her for taking care of babies and this is what a lot of beliefs about natural parenting are based on. But don't eat something that science has only recently discovered is that. When a man becomes a father there are many many changes that happen in his body. You lose this testosterone. Any gains collected and as well as cortisol which is exactly what's happening in the mother's body had on a father is an echo what's happening in the mother's body and it only happens if he's in contact with mother. Which is a very good argument for parental leave. In a father's brain changes as well empathy compassion. A lot of different emotional -- giving skills are not fixed traits you know these are not things that never changed inside of an individual human. Their skills that we learned over time. And you can see. That skill acquisition happening in the brain your screen is actually developing new neurons -- endurance and developing new neural connections between endurance. If a father is present at the birth this child if he's present during the early weeks of the child's life. It will change him from the inside out. And that has enormous implications in terms of you know what I meant to do for the children."

" You see men and you -- gain collect and that's the hormone associated delectation. He also guests and gaining cortisol that's the stress hormone that spikes in mom's two after childbirth which gives them. Here's some more on the alert so they can pay attention to baby's needs men have as you said a shadow of that but they have some of that."

" Now you know it's funny I read about this in the book and I thought good news you know this is the message you know good news -- your your -- adapt for taking care of children. And I were talking to a -- I was interviewing a father and Texas and he's well that's terrible news I don't want to be more like my wife. And that hadn't occurred to me -- how. Not thinking that might be perceived that little don't think it's -- that there aren't that many women listening saying we -- this is -- oh yes definitely you know I think that the most important message here is that this doesn't mean. That men become women and it doesn't of course mean that men and women and some have become -- mothers and fathers are not actually interchangeable. What it means is that men and women mothers and fathers. That evolution has prepared us to adapt to take care for children in our different ways but the point -- we're both prepared to take care."

" That's Jeremy at a Smith author of the daddy shifted. And finally also studied paternity leave in the US only one in ten men have access to -- community in sweet and others get ten days paid leave after child is born. Then parents get a total of 480. Days. After a child is born they split that up. We have more with Jeremy and later. How is that power sharing going in Zimbabwe. That would be back in one minute more on being a dad here and now."

" Funding for here and now comes from the math works creators of -- lab and simulate technical computing software dedicated to accelerating the pace of discovery in engineering and science worldwide on the web at math works dot com."

" Welcome back to our conversation with Jeremy Adam Smith author of the daddy shifty spent a year as a stay at home dad with his son and research stay at home -- Jeremy let's look at how new research shows dad's involvement can benefit the child as it turns out a lot of people can play the role of dad but some single moms. They find this topic it's sensitive to their kids. But Jeremy what our researchers finding the difference between the impact that dads have on kids persist month impact."

" They've made a number of very important discovery some of them quite recent for example you know fathers who take parental leave them to take time off of work to be with her kids ultimately their kids. Have better educational attainment they tend to be more emotionally stable."

" Well it's also anyone who said you know although. Springs on the bed destroyed by the wrestling competitions knows this but. That dads are sent to do the unpredictable emotionally arousing non -- mediated physical play essential to a child's development."

" That's as aggrieved tend to provide forms of play that amongst this group do not which are essential for the child's development and others do other things too you know. Colors encourage independence and risk taking they encourage their children to make things you know to play with blocks in a way that mothers do not. -- provide forms of care fathers tend to like for example I'm but sometimes called and Patrick play you know engaging in. Soft repetitive facial and verbal forms of play where they're reflecting back and forth to each other. There -- important mentioned that this does not mean. That gay and lesbian families are not viable. There's lots and lots of research now that shows that the children of gay and lesbian parents I grow up to be just like everybody else's kids. What's important for children is that they have. A lot of variety there's one study or read about recently it was a joint Dutch Israeli study that showed that the optimal number of caregivers for a child. Was three you know mother and father and a grandmother or grandfather or anti nanny. Or any -- you know it can be anybody but you know it's important for children to have. Different adults in their life to -- different kinds of care now."

" Somebody who will say -- mud wrestling now. Hit the floor. So that goes for single parent families as well that's very well you about some of the myths of staying home dads including that they just can't find work that. You know their lazy they watch -- TV while the kids are in another room her own -- you missed these criticisms have you heard them."

" Oh yeah and text I've made some of them. At an earlier stage of my two other people -- that's straight. I mean you know it's kind of funny that a lot of people think of themselves as being you know very liberal -- progressive. And sometimes they are very liberal and progressive. And yet they really have trouble seen. I care giving fathers as they are and one example read about in the book when I interviewed an African American doctor serving a black community here in San Francisco the date yet. And you know I asked her you know if you have any you know stand contents you can throw my way firm need interviewed for the book and she said yeah. -- stay at -- that's comin' into my office and -- our good old fashioned unemployed. In you know she could only see the fathers in her office during the day as evidence of their failures providers. She couldn't see it as evidence of -- caring involvement she couldn't see them stepping into another role outside of bread winning. We talked about it for -- and you know by the end of it she said I don't think you're right and you know -- need to see it differently. I see that around a lot you know we we are not trained. To see fathers taking care children and that causes us to sometimes miss the ways that they do."

" Well and you hold up this one example friend of our program Tony he's he coats -- he's been on the program many times you -- wonderful memoir about growing up with a strong father. In inner city Baltimore it's called a beautiful struggle by the way he no -- city Atlantic he decided to stay at home. And was almost anxious to do that tell us more about him."

" She hasn't been very interesting example of a stay at home father 'cause he was actually stay at home dad at the outset from the beginning of the birth as son when he 24 years old. His own father who is a former black panther Vietnam veteran. Had been staying at home dad when he was young and when he became a father he just sign it and his wife our society has partnerships are not married. It's -- as a very natural thing for him to become the caregiver she made more money than he did you know he was working as a freelance writer. And you know I didn't have regular employment or benefits or anything like that and they just you know they fell into these roles very naturally and he became somewhat more successful. I got the job at time magazine was laid off -- when I interviewed him it was actually shortly after the layoff the beautiful struggle had been published -- him started blogging for the Atlantic so he wasn't famous. He was just a struggling freelance writer. And he was really grateful that he have this time back with his -- He didn't like being laid off. You know that was not a good thing. But he still was able to see and -- into articulate what he was gaining."

" Well in fact you find that some men go to the same thing that would go through. Which is that. See when they go back into the workforce they really it's appalling missed their kids."

" You knowing that for me it was pretty tough you know I read about this book the first -- my -- his preschool. You know he cried he and his -- my leg he said daddy don't go in and you know afterwards I just felt sick point just physically sick and I felt ridiculous like I felt that -- you know did despite everything I felt like it was somehow un manly for me feel this way. I held as cortisol levels liking you right yeah exactly. And it really haunted me for that referred during the first few weeks back at work you know and we just sit there and it suddenly stopped working. And stare at my computer and just you know wish he was there with me you know which. For me personal he has is noteworthy because I think for the first month after I started taking care of them have the opposite feeling and we do anything to it you know get away from this crying infant. You know what I mean that transmission."

" Adam Smith author of the daddy shift a book that comes out on Father's Day. How you celebrate."

" Just hope it's funny you say that because my my wife and son are actually going to be visiting. Her father and relatives in Hawaii where she's from played. I am going to be working actually on -- I think that's a promoting this book after all that. And reading yes I know it's it's and crying and it comes to added I think yeah -- and crying I mean I do you feel bad about it actually was it was totally incidental they mean these arrangements -- and I said wait a minute this is Father's Day. She'll call me you know -- shall decency and Pittsburgh we'll celebrate."

" For more important he'll call and Jeremy is also senior editor of greater good magazine Jeremy thanks so much and have a happy Father's Day and thank him. -- all of you out. Monday and here now why is Blackstone founder Pete Peters turning his fortune over the warning Americans about federal deficit and should reach people like can kick in more -- bring it down. Also boosted on the bounty on shipwrecks Florida tragic hunting company says find peacekeepers -- it. Back after the latest news here and now."

" The recessions putting a strain on state budgets as businesses close or jobs are cut revenues fall the total shortfall cross country. Could be 230 billion dollars. Earlier this week we heard how California is trying to close its budget gap today we touched down in Kentucky. That state is a billion dollars in the red Stephanie stay right of the Louisville courier journal covers the Statehouse where lawmakers -- known -- special session. And Stephanie can -- telling us about a raise in taxes on cigarettes and Kentucky's -- things -- and that took place earlier this year."

" Well we'd basically increased the -- cigarette tax by 30% of course. Kentucky had one of the lowest cigarette taxes in the country had only dedicated thirty cents a pack."

" So up to sixty cents now on cigarettes in Kentucky. And what about the alcohol --"

" We put 86%. Sales tax on our retail package sales of alcohol. We had 86% sales tax are ready I appear white early occurred that you would -- by the collapse at a bar or restaurant. But if you went to a -- there was no sales tax. On that consumers didn't cried too much about that a lot books that they were already paying of course the alcohol industry. Was seen to get over it. The -- industry folks showed up at PS capitol and the waiter at port. -- bit on that Nellie stepped in protest. Gigantic beer trucks circled the capital -- their arms for days says that this was being considered."

" Well also of the season in consecutive sort of accepted the taxes that happened before this week and other governors convened a special legislative session. What is he calling for now."

" Keep -- combination. Cut. Structuring. And a suspension of three at five fatalities for state workers."

" Well and these are targeted furloughs directed at some holidays -- cents a there's going to be mass layoffs mass furloughs in the and it."

" Now in fact that is why the governor said he did it this way it was too late -- playoff Serb match furloughs."

" Always -- and the more contentious issues there you are in Kentucky is the government's proposal to expand gambling at race tracks with video lottery terminals tells more about it."

" He wants to allow a key states eight racetracks to operate slot machines would generate about that a country a 67 million dollars a year -- it."

" Well in -- that this is important to breeders in Kentucky."

" Yet the major -- that according to the governor of Hawaii they want to do this is. Kentucky is known as the worst capital of the world there's a concern that states like Pennsylvania. That has not started these reach -- Pennsylvania it's using a lot of their gambling revenues to our increased purses that are paid out during -- horse races."

" Race he knows combination racetrack casino."

" And there are also used -- of their revenues to offer right. Incentives to breeders to start breeding and setup shop in Pennsylvania alluring -- Are those folks. And of course is a week from Kentucky."

" How is the state -- Kentucky using the federal stimulus money."

" The two big pieces are state stabilization fund and meditate. Stimulus money. The federal government has to ramp up its reimbursement at this stage. Which states that states the money that it would otherwise have to put it and that."

" The instant 742 million dollars in federal money program. To. Characterized Kentucky coming inning getting through this recession."

" Kentucky was. Slower. To feel the effects of this we didn't have the kind of housing bubble situation that you -- on states like Arizona and California Florida. Of course we are -- stage and we were up pretty heavily on manufacturing states so obviously they recession you know -- finally hit it hard. We started making cuts in the middle of 2008. And have cut about 600 million dollars and then we have spared feet per pupil. Teacher twelve -- funding. But they have made -- cots to. Text books to school safety things like. Metal detectors things like that in schools. As well as the top afterschool program has been tied to teacher had training program and so forth."

Will we look -- your thoughts on this or any story how your state doing good here now dot org and click on contact us to send an email or leave a comment right there on the homepage. Back in thirty seconds with a reporter's notebook from Zimbabwe here and now."

" Welcome back here and now."

" Sounds in the streets of Zimbabwe of -- brutal forces that keep president Robert Mugabe's grip on power. Following his bloody election battle with mortgage anger -- last year remember -- to -- lost but is now Zimbabwe's prime minister after unity government was formed. -- arrives in London today as part of his world tour to convince western nations to give money to his country as it walks a path to democracy. But -- makes this -- even as Mugabe rules with an iron fist back home. Amnesty International says some in who got these Santa PF party. Still regard violence as a legitimate political tool against rivals including -- to rise movement for democratic change. But didn't want to take a closer look at Zimbabwe's something that's not an easy to do. The BBC's Mike Thompson managed to travel the country undercover despite a ban on BBC reporters. He found a country near collapse. The people fearful of becoming targets of the government if they criticize it -- cute. His reports -- a website but -- Townsend joins us now from London with a reporter's notebook Mike first of all. Why is there a ban. -- BBC reports."

" Stems from the fact that the Zimbabwean government prior to the use you want no problem not gonna be. Considered a lot of the stuff the BBC was -- costing biased against him and part of some colonial effort by Britain to smear him and his government."

" What would ask you about them Gabi is 85 he's been in power since independence from Britain in 1980. He became Zimbabwe's first black leader when he took power from the small -- community there but under his regime. The country's near collapse how do the British largely -- that today's C debt as. Britain crippling our country by colonizing it or do they see it is validation that colonization was best for the colonized."

" There's not little discussion at the moment I think home confinement on any I think the concern just custody at the moment we'll TV with the now rather than the past and the supporting states sadly that the country's in. When not you know from the Senate collapsing health and education sent -- things that really need help which. On his current tool Morgan -- guy is trying to make some inroads into by getting more international funding but so far he's finding that the struggle. Because of the fact is in a partnership with Robert Montgomery. And many and I don't countries' worries that. Drop in the gone priest who has too much sway -- but what happens with money coming into the country."

" Let's take a closer look at which you found in Zimbabwe you speak of the children the -- one point eight million orphans their parents dead from aids or cholera. You've visited one of those orphanages and I know we have. Some -- describing a little boy -- there -- just paint a picture for us."

" It's arrived in this orphanage to see very bank capital fringe to -- it is a Ferrari. To find lots of lots of children some coolness babies are the ones I was -- know that. It's a -- looking surprisingly happy given what had happened to them. He's going to Austin for what had happened to -- the of the person who run the orphanage told me that many of these two from it and -- Abandoned by their parents in the most desperate situations. It was just so -- but for --"

" We give -- time. That's the people including they've -- to see me. Who was Colin do you need the event may be breached that baby let's -- they present -- we disabilities morning. Into the event that -- anything they've."

" In many cases the parents have died in Zimbabwe has something like between three and 4000 people dying every week all of HIV aids and other cases of parents have. Have fled the country to try and -- fine work -- South African Communist destination. But of course sometimes two to arrive in South African continent work and the children just have nobody."

" Well and you see because of that terrible poverty some girls as young as twelve and thirteen are turning to prostitution infect. The deputy head teacher have a large school east of Victoria falls told you. That hundreds of her female students are selling their bodies photo -- let's listen."

" And leaning against and yes that's -- didn't end its filmed it gives them. It's good -- books. Could be -- case."

" Could the distance tips. Some -- and just to be an."

" My -- right. It to be given a hunt in."

" It comes down to something just as as simple as that Obama spoke to some of the girls that and they told me at the all -- situation faced many of them without parents. -- or in the hands of of guardians who often enough -- it really difficult to survive and I've been told to sometimes push the goes in this direction trying to get money through prostitution."

" We know that there are fears that some of these girls are gonna be targeted by traffickers. To bring across borders during the World Cup next year."

" That's -- the charity save the children said they had information that traffic is already making plans to. Traffic -- too from from Zimbabwe to South Africa to. Satisfy the appetite if I can put it that way of the some of the tourists coming to the World Cup a worker thing in certain that the World Cup in South -- yes."

" Don't -- is there any education. Infrastructure and left in Zimbabwe."

" The risks and at least now since the unity government was formed civil servants -- of course teaches. And I'm getting an allowance not -- true payment announcement hundred dollars a month. But having said that I went to schools particularly important. Rules of the country where. School buildings from the truly forming upon some some of them -- had caved in have been eaten by termites all the windows were broken. And at one school for instance they have to get 700 children it just -- classrooms because all the other constituted half. Where it went considered to be a dangerous state and could collapse at any point. And many classes didn't even have for a bookstore or pins. It's -- right -- and one textbook. Between -- sometimes as many as thirty students."

" Well as we mentioned more than two anger -- been trying to get aid from other countries President Obama pledged 73 million dollars but. Says the aid will go to aid agencies not to the government."

" It's it's -- and the compassion."

" That's to Congo -- from -- in Havana the latest CD from the Cuban born Miami based band TM believe break. Taking -- minor few from the -- tempered I mean. In a whole new direction. Yeah."

" I'm not in Havana typically -- the interpretation of -- music is just the latest step in advance the mission to spread their blend of Cuban music with an American plan. And -- she's been working they've been twice nominated for grammys they heard the Irish flutist James Holloway and you can even find the -- A supermarket on hand of Kathleen Costello coffee. That's the it's -- from -- these -- Grammy nominated CD Europeans their honor what you feed reading. When we spoke to can't believe based musical director and keyboard is what he promised last year. He says the name referred to black fans said they believe in Tampa Bay bridge can without. Our goal is to please everybody United States and its ability and you -- it's too late tonight. Tell you about -- and it's it's only this sounded used to describe as a combination of both so what's timber this sounds that you fans of we'd hear well."

" Basically came eyes and makes you -- just and -- from Cuba if people when -- reasons that -- on Chico area together you have team."

" Winner of this declared the two Koreas together it's Tim had had -- this and so all what this home."

" Instead very low -- then you have to some very good singer. And they follow patterns."

" Can you sort of like you know give us a sense for him to -- but could get too good to reject it -- connected to the -- are."

" There's no -- there beat duke duke and banging -- back there's a little muted. Well and we'll to have it recorded in your arrows Kunming gone and race is mango. Let's listen this -- the title track of your first."

" This that he. Yeah exactly you'll. Boom boom instantly and bad -- I -- yeah. And so we know. -- We're not done. --"

" Tell us about the lyrics. In the song. --"

" An -- to compete. -- Cuba. Utilities at confused unionized because they don't eat the same food feed its people like he's doing Cuba. But nothing of the so we say well known Iowa happen no matter where you need."

" 32 -- Cuban attitude."

" Well -- leave Cuba when Iowa is a tiny five years I went to Guatemala. -- needs their -- five years we'll let you list the percent in how to do just up and leave Cuba from Guatemala where you're allowed to go. Well -- that thing is about time I wasn't a damning. My family was living Guatemala I said -- the -- and I go to what I love to see my family that -- mean to say it and go."

" And you never -- Do you miss Cuba are you glad that you're in the US where do you fondness. Both bold thing."

" Emmys may neighborhood might fool would make people. The same time here -- united day. Or you dream come true is any use the only thing that you have to do his work and have T."
