Hours after tens of thousand memorialized brother raul memorialized the leader. News 4 david culver with us live from santiago. David, what is the mood like there this morning. Angie and adam, good morning to you. Its interesting because this is a city known for its heat, hot, vibrant, applies to the people as well, yet this morning subdued as they are waking up on the remains have been interred a few miles from where we are. They are leaving the location where we are now a few minutes to the nearby cemetery where they interred the remains next to the resting place of jose marti, famed revolutionary. Folks here adjusting to life after fidel. For many of them it was emotional given that he had such strong ties to this part of the country in particular. Cuba, we didnt notice as much emotion when it came to memorializing him. Here in the eastern portion certainly a lot more emotion more visible as well angie and adam. A large gathering where you were last night. Anything that anyone said that surprises people that showed up . Adam, the words from current president , raul castro, that are sticking with a lot of people this morning and still talking about here in cuba, putting up some of their social media feeds fidel told him before passing away. He paints this humble picture of his brother who told him apparently that he didnt want any monument. He didnt want any schools to be named after him. In fact, this december, this month, right now, the parliament is going to meet here in cuba. Raul castro is proposing a law that would block any monuments, any schools to be named after his brother so as to respect his dying wishes, as he put it. David, what was the your eyes. People were determined to be here. There are folks behind me who were packed all the way back. The way i compared it to was the national mall, the capital and stretching close to the lincoln memorial. Jampacked in and there are people waiting to get in yet it was difficult for a lot of them to do so because streets were shut down. There was a determination to be here. You see that and you may say, well, that shows a lot of admirers, a lot of supporters of fidel castro. Not necessarily. They may not have agreed with his politics, may not have liked him yet there is a curiosity and desire to witness history. When you see so many people coming together, solidarity, unity among cubans and determination to want to see whats happening and be present for this moment. They had their cell phones out, doing social chats, all of that to absorb what would happen, the enormity of this event her. Great reporting all week, you and your photographer doing great stuff.

Chuck, were talking about phone call between president elect and taiwan. That is creating a little bit of tension with china. It is. China not happy about it. I have, of course, spoken already with the Vice President elect. Youll see that interview in 20 minutes. Trying to downplay, used the phrase tempest in a teapot, really tries to downplay china yet again. One wonders if they will. Wouldnt be surprised in the next few days to clarify things. Does seem china is escalating a little bit. At first they tried to be dismiss of it, too. Then they decided to looks like send a message to the Trump Pence Administration here. He does work a lot trying to downplay the incident. You covered a lot of ground with the Vice President elect. Campaign ran on when it comes to draining the swamp. He looked atted the choices. Secretary of state, it was interesting, we talked about mitt romney in particular, David Petraeus. He would not say whether David Petraeus classified information leak issue is qualifyinga he would not say sort of affirm him or not in either direction but he was very careful to still name five people for secretary of state. That is mitt romney, David Petraeus, bob corker, rudy giuliani. He name checked them. Were still looking at five finalists there. On this drain the swamp issue. He did define it as keeping lobbyists from having too much a see all these wealthy people, that doesnt necessarily mean they have been successful. Donald trump said he was going to hire successful people to do these jobs. I think ultimately for his voters, how do they define that drain the swamp phrase. I think for many drain the swamp means keeping clintons out. For many voters they think hes accomplished the swamp goal.
