let me ask but this cuba situation. what s the worst-case scenario? how badly could congress screw this up? screw up what president obama wants to do if chronic really set their mind to it? well the house has made one negative vote about the president s executive order but i don t think you would see it in the senate in terms of ever getting to the 60-vote margin. i m carrying the bill to lift the embarring officially we have 17 co-spogsors on the bill and many more who have said they want said they ll vote for it even if they don t get on. i see the momentum as pushing congress. we know there are some people that are seriously opposed to this. but more and more people are coming on board. these are as you point out, 11 million people 90 miles off our shore. i was there in the spring and the people are ahead of their government. all over the place you see
1st which require your boss to give you paid sick leave. in red state, in july 1st marks the date on which you can now legally possess a sawed off shotgun in the hoosier state. seriously, there was apparently a need for this. what indiana was missing was that it didn t have enough sawed off shotguns in circulation. that problem in indiana has today been fixed. in the great state of maine today, july 1st was supposed to be the first day on the new job for the maine democratic speaker of the house. the maine democratic speaker of the house, his name is mark eves. he was recently hired to run a lovely school and charter school in central maine. they needed a new president of the school. he applied for the job. they interviewed lots of people. they decided to pick him. they set the start date. today was supposed to be his first day at work. july 1st. today was going to be it. but after the school announce

stand in the way of our own people? is congress going to stand in the way? can congress block the opening of the u.s. embassy in havana or cuban embassy here? what has happened, this almost unimaginable progress after half a century. this is something president obama has done on his own. he obviously wants supportive action from congress whether or not he gets it could they actually stop what he is doing and what he plans to continue to do if they set their minds to it? joining us now, you have proposed legislation to end the u.s. trade embargo against cuba. great to see you. thank you for being here. thank you. i loved the break-in on the world cup. you do have a second career as a sportscaster. unfortunately when i get excited talking about sports i flap my hands like a seal having a seizure. so i don t think it will happen. it was good.
the next big question is the embargo and congress and today president obama circled back to that too. americans and cubans alike are ready to move forward. i believe it is time for congress to do the same. i ve called on congress to take steps to lift the embargo that pre vents americans from doing business in cuba. we ve seen members in both parties to begin that work. after all, why should washington stand in the way of our own people? is congress going to stand in the way? can congress block the opening of the u.s. embassy in havana or cuban embassy here? what has happened, this almost unimaginable progress after half a century. this is something president obama has done on his own. he obviously wants supportive action from congress, whether or not he gets it, could they actually stop what he is doing and what he plans to continue to do if they set their minds to it?
