The U.S. State Department released a 100-page report titled 'Cuba: The Capital of 21st Century Communism' alleging that for 60 years, Cuba has been systematically planting hard-left political influence inside the United States. The report specifically names 43 Americans, including five California officials: Karen Bass (Mayor of Los Angeles), Antonio Villaraigosa (former Mayor of Los Angeles), Chesa Boudin (former San Francisco District Attorney), Maxine Waters (Congresswoman), and Zohran Mamdani (Mayor of New York). The report also identifies Paul Larudi, a non-elected official, as the North American coordinator for a pro-Iranian coalition. The report distinguishes between direct Cuban influence and organic ideological commitments, noting that the Democratic Socialists of America has 'organic ideological commitments' rather than direct Cuban shaping. The video argues that this report connects to California's Initiative 25-0024 (the billionaire tax), which prompted at least six billionaires to leave the state, taking $27 billion with them.

The State Department Named Your Mayor in a Cuba Report. She's Not Even the Worst One!
Added:They're communist. There are communists inside the American government. And I'm not the one saying that. The government is. This Monday morning, the United States State Department put out a report. Gold seal on the front, 100 pages thick, and it says it right out loud. For 60 years, Cuba has been planting the hard left inside this country. And then it does the one thing nobody ever has a nerve to do. It turns the page and it uh yeah names them. 43 Americans in black and white. Did you hear me? 43. And I'm going to say one of those names right now because it's sitting right there on the page.
Karen Bass, the mayor of Los Angeles.
Her name is printed inside a federal report about communist influence in the United States. Let that sit for a second. And as always, it gets worse because while the government is busy naming names, your own governor, good old Gavin, walked up to a microphone and said he wants to invite more people. Not fewer, more. I'll roll you the tape so you can hear his own words. Now, I read all 100 pages so you don't have to. Five of those names live right here in California. And I'm going to give you every single one. But you've got to ride with me to the end because I'm saving the worst for last. The last name is going to make you sick. And I mean that.
Now, here's why this hits you. Even if you've never set foot in a state house.
If you've driven through Los Angeles lately, you've seen it. the tents stacked up on the sidewalks, the boarded up storefronts, whole neighborhoods you grew up loving but you barely recognize anymore. And somewhere in the back of your mind, you've been asking what I've been asking. How does a city this rich fall apart this fast? These names, this report, that's your answer. You've been staring at the symptom. Tonight, I'm going to show you the cause. Don't click off. First, what even is this thing?
Now, here's the guy who broke it down before I did. American people deserve to know, and it is a 100page report titled Cuba, the capital of 21st century communism, prepared by the Department of State.
That's Marco Rubio State Department. The whole idea in plain English, the kind you'd explain to your kid at dinner. For 60 years, Cuba has been a factory that makes one product and ships it north.
Hard-left politics. And this report is a list of the Americans they say carried those boxes. That's their claim, their words. And I'm going to hold them to it in a minute because this report is more honest than half the people waving it around. So, I started digging and I want you to dig with me. Type it in your phone right now.
Go grab it. Rubio Cuba report. Read it with your own eyes. Name one. Ready?
Karen Bass. The report lists her back in the 70s as an organizer for the Vincereamos Brigade, the operation that flew American activists down to Cuba and back. And this is in the report. She organized for it. She reportedly flew to Havana every six months. every six months, bags packed like it's a time share. And when Fidel Castro died in 2016, she put out her condolences.
Condolences for a communist leader.
Named two, and this one got zero air time. Antonio Verigosa, another former mayor of Los Angeles, also the man who was speaker of the state assembly. He ran the floor in Sacramento right there.
Brigade alumnist. So that's two LA mayors in a Cuba report. Name three, Chessa Bodin, the former district attorney of San Francisco, the man who decided who got prosecuted in the whole city. And name for you know her face, Maxine Waters, businesswoman, congresswoman. Los Angeles also on that list. Two mayors, a DA, a congresswoman.
Four faces you'd know on the news tonight. All California all in one report. And I still haven't given you the fifth. Hold on because the report doesn't even stop at California.
Hassan, Hassan Zoran Namdani and other communist socialist those types, the Ilhan Omar's essentially claiming that Cuba has infiltr infiltrated the highest Doran Mandani the mayor of New York. His whole entry in 100page report is four words mayor of New York. They wrote his job title and set the pen down. And then Elon Omar, she's in there, too. And her daughter, one line apart, mother and daughter, same report. Now, I owe you the other side, and this is what separates me from every guy racing to cover this. They're telling you the same thing. This document proves Cuba runs the American left. So I read the pages and the State Department admits in its own writing that the Democrat Socialist of America was quote not shaped by the direct and tangible influence of the Cuban government and has organic ideological commitments. Then it says that doesn't mean there are no ties. So softer than the headlines and I'm the one telling you that because I read it.
Named is not charged. Nobody in here is convicted of anything yet. Do I think prosecutions are coming? Yeah, I hope so. I do. You don't drop a 100page report and put the whole administration on one stage in one week for fun. But that's my prediction. Not a verdict, and I'll say so every time. Now, here's where the tell is real. Even their own people are walking towards the door. I am tired, tired, tired of a set of people on the very far left in the Democratic party telling us that in order for us to be progressives, we now have to believe ideas and support ideas that are completely nuts.
>> Could you see yourself voting for JD Vance?
>> Yes. If this is the the Democratic side, yes.
>> Bill Mayor. Bill Mayor says he'd vote for JD Vance. When the loudest guy on your own team is looking across the field at the other jerseys, the problem was never the marketing, it's the product.
So, what does this product actually do when it gets the keys to a city? You don't need a report for that. You need New York.
>> New York is America's least affordable city, and 20,000 affordable homes have vanished over the last 3 years, which has people asking, "Why are they gone and where did they go?" Thousands of apartments are now being kept vacant.
>> 20,000 affordable homes gone. 20,000 front doors that just aren't there anymore under the exact policies this movement runs on. I told you last week New York is a test kitchen. The State Department just printed the menu. And what's the menu? Well, it's posted on their own website. They call it workers deserve more. Line one, abolish ICE.
Full amnesty, zero deportations. And the headline plank in their own font, the abolition of capitalism. That's not me.
That's their site reading itself out loud. I'm going to read you the whole list in the next video. Every single plank, because you have to see it to believe it. That's going to be chapter two. So, where's California's governor while all this is happening?
Sacramento's answer is the bow on the box. that Gavin Newsome is now openly saying, "I'm going to cozy up with the Democratic Socialist of America."
>> Uh, look, I, as I said, I'm for addition in the spirit of academia, not for subtraction.
>> Addition, not subtraction. The State Department names two LA mayors, a DA who practically ruined San Francisco, a congresswoman, and the fifth name in a Cuban report. and your governor walks to a mic and says, "The socialists are welcome in the tent." In the spirit of academia, governor, this is not a faculty lounge. Now, I promised you I saved the worst for last. Here he is.
Buried in California 5 is a man almost nobody in this whole news cycle has said out loud. Paul Larudi, born in Iran, lives in a quiet house in the San Francisco Bay area, a street you drive past and never look at twice. On paper, a professor Ford foundation of Fulbright over in Lebanon. Once an adviser to the government of Saudi Arabia, taught at Berkeley and San Francisco State. The report calls him the North American coordinator for a pro-Iranian coalition. And here's the part that'll make you rewind. The nonprofit he's a treasurer of has a name. Say the first letter of the word with me. Association for Investment in Popular Action Committees. A I P A C. APAC. And I know what you're picturing. The big pro-Israel lobby. Wrong one. Completely different group. Same four letters.
That's not an accident. According to the report, that little California nonprofit ran delegations to Cuba to Venezuela and a web around it. Again, according to the report, traces back to the Cuban spy ring the FBI rolled up in the '9s. Now, he's not an elected official, so I'm treating him as an activist, not a defendant. And the spy ring link, I'm handing it to you exactly how the report hands it to me. I'm attributing it. I'm not asserting it. But a wire running from Cuba to Tehran and the switchboard sitting in a quiet barrier house. That's the name nobody had the guts to say. So let me connect it for you. Dot to dot.
That name that should have scared you was never Karen Bass. Bass is the headline. The story is a Cuba to Teahran wire out of the Bay Area. Two of your city's mayors in a federal report and a governor whose one move is to lean in.
And here's the last line. The one that lands in your mailbox. The same movement isn't just in a report. It's in your ballot. This November, Californians vote on initiative 250024, the billionaire tax, estimated $100 billion, aimed at the most mobile people on the planet. And before a single vote was cast, at least six of those billionaires already packed the moving trucks and left and took $27 billion out the door with them. So billionaires well they walked the bill didn't whose name is left on it yeah yours rich and ranugamonga Sarah and Fresno Debbie and Turlock ramen in San Jose you can't load a moving truck over a spreadsheet the document is Rubio's but the bill well that's yours so tell me in the comments nothing burger or the first domino drop me one line who's on the list. Let's see how many of us actually read it. And the next video, I read you the entire playbook, their words, their site, page by page. That's chapter two. Subscribe so this lands in front of you. And make sure you hit the bell so you get notified. And go watch New York's test kitchen breakdown right up uh right here. You need to go watch it, okay?
Because that's the menu the whole thing is cooking from. I'm Ramine.
Yeah, this is real talk.
