so, boris, talk to us about what you remember. do you remember about cuba, and the stories that you're family tells about their time there? >> unfortunately, i personally don't remember much about cuba. we landed in miami the day i turn 3. the stories they told say life. the reason we moved to the united states is my grandfather was a political prisoner. i've hurts y i've heard you guys noting there's no gray area with fidel castro. some people see him as a here row that was perceived in american imperialism. and others find him as a teayra. my grandfather fought in the revolution. not with fidel castro. but he guided the country and when things took a turn fidel made it clear the direction he was heading by arresting any sis dissidents and putting many of my grandfather's friends in front of firing squads, because of that, my father was put 20 years in prison for basically refusing to speak out. he was considered a lucky one by many of his friends. sadly, you have generations of people, like my grandfather, like my parents, waiti

boris, good evening to you. today michael slager gave his version of why he shot and killed walter scott. what did he say? >> hey, don, yeah. he said that essentially that video doesn't tell the whole story. he says that before the cameras were rolling that he was in an altercation with walter scott. there was a scuffle and he claims that walter scott took his taser from him and aimed it back at him and that the gunfire you see in the video was essentially his response to that. the prosecution jumped on that. they went second by second, frame by frame and in excruciating detail over that video with walter scott's family in the courtroom, and they were asked michael schrager all kinds of questions about where he was looking and how he was shifting his weight and again and again they asked him how could walter scott have been a threat to his life if he had been trying to get away. here's some of that exchange. >> would you agree that even if mr. scott had that taser it could not have been used against you at the d

let's head to florida now, to miami-dade county and boris sanchez, hi, boris. >> good morning, carol. the big story out of florida is the turnout. more than 6.5 million floridians have cast their ballots in this election. to give you some perspective, that's more people that voted in the entire 2000 election. and we are expecting big turnout today on election day. so far, things have been pretty slow. we've had a steady stream of turnout at this et voting locat behind me in halia, miami-dade county. it is leaning democrats. they have a 12,000 vote advantage here. across the state, it's 90,000. look at the big picture, back in 2012, democrats had about a 100,000 vote advantage going into election day. the question is are they's going hold on to that lead. the other big thing going on in florida, senate race you mentioned between patrick murphy and rubio, it's been a heated and nasty race. right in june, marco rubio decide he would jump back into the race for senate here in florida. he's confident he's going to win. a lot of republicans that i've spoken to say that they are happy about

we also have boris sanchez and jessica schneider in ann arbor michigan. let's start with you, martin. tell us what is going on in cleveland. >> cleveland saw a real spike in early voting over the weekend. they have been holding early voting in the state since october 12th but huge numbers here in cleveland and huge numbers all across the state. in fact, in a lot of places they broke records. early voting continues today and it goes until 2:00. they shut down just so they can start the regular voting tomorrow. that would seem to bode well for hillary clinton. >> all right, so, let's bounce over to you, boris. obviously, early voting with the latino population in florida and it's up over 100% from the last cycle and a big question comes down to that cuban vote, especially down there in south florida and which way they go and why. what's your feel on the ground? >> hey, good morning, chris. early voting ended just yesterday. there were lines all across cuban neighborhoods here in south florida. if you talk about miami-dade county. 80% of the turnout we had i

boris sanchez is in miami, randi kaye is in orlando. randi, let's begin with you. what is it like? >> reporter: we're here at the orange county elections office, wolf. they are very busy. we call this the democracy factory. they are counting the absentee ballots that have come if. they expect to count 17,000 today. they've already counted about 147,000. once they sort all of those, they come back to the machine where they pull the ballots in the machine and count them. it's interesting stuff. they are breaking records, more than 400,000 people have voted absentee or early voting here in orange county, setting the record, just like my colleague, boris, can talk about in miami, also setting records there. >> reporter: absolutely, randi. 50,000 people voted in miami-dade county just yesterday, giving democrats about 100,000 vote advantage in a county that is reliably democratic. the big question in south florida, how will cuban americans vote if donald trump can convince the traditionally gop leading demographic to go his way, it may cut into that 88,000 lead democrats have state wide

cnn boris sanchez is in miami-dade county. good morning, boris. >> reporter: good morning, carol. the big story here in florida has been turnout. already historic. more than 6 point be point 5 million floridians have cast their ballots in the sunshine state. that's more than voted in the entire 2000 election. also who's voting has been important. huge uptick in the number of latinos coming out to vote early. 89% jump compared to 2008. of course, the big question is who are those latinos and who are they supporting? here in miami-dade county, huge cuban american community, it is imperative for the republicans if they want to win florida to hold on to these voters. the problem is that there's a generational divide between the traditionally gop leading demographic. i spoke to a younger voter, his name is jonathan, his family is split. he's cuban. his parents are conservative. he jokes that his mom made him sleep outside because of his support for hillary clinton. the idea is that if donald trump can cut into the democrats advantage here in these communities, he puts florida into play

boris, thank you very much. fidel castro once called the family of our next two guests his most repulsive enemies. they're also his relatives. joining us now is florida congressman mario diaz-balart, former congressman lincoln diaz-balart. as context their aunt was castro's first wife before castro led the revolution in cuba. gentlemen, thank you for joining us this morning. let's start with the personal. congressman, what -- how does your family tell the story of its connection to castro? >> look it's a story that's very well known. not only with our family, but with our community. and, my father was a brother-in-law of fidel castro, also that since he knew him well, became the first person to oppose fidel castro. and actually to state very clearly what would happen if castro got control of that island. that's precisely what happened. it's been 58 years of dictatorship, of pain, of murders, of narco terrorism, of terrorism. it has -- this man, this dictator, this tyrant, and this murderer has been a nightmare n

cnn's boris sanchez is live in charleston with more. so what is the latest, boris? >> hey, good morning, allison. as we said closing arguments set to begin any minute. yesterday was an uncomfortable emotional day in court as michael slager took the stand in his own defense. the prosecution grilling him. playing that now infamous cell phone video in excruciating frame by frame, minute by minute, detail asking him all associates of questions about where he was glancing at certain moments. how he was moving his feet and shifting his weight. and then asking him repeatedly how walter scott could have been a threat to his life if he was trying to get away from him unarmed. i want you to listen to some of the exchange between him and the prosecution. >> you've seen the video and you've heard that he was 18 feet away. would you agree that he was not a threat to you without a taser without a cartridge from that distance. >> no. >> okay. so you're going to stick to that? >> yes. and the reason is, from 18 feet he could have turned around and attacked me again. >> and that led

we have cnn's boris sanchez live north of miami. boris, you've been reporting excellently about how you are seeing a great increase in the hispanic and latino vote, but the cuban vote is something unique unto itself. >> reporter: it certainly is, chris. and it's something that donald trump is really banking on to try to help him close the gap that there is between republicans and democrats in early voting right now. traditionally gop-leaning cuban community is something that has swayed elections before. this time, though, it might be different. we've seen this community become more progressive over time. the question obviously now is which direction will they turn. here we've seen a steadily line of about two dozen, almost three dozen people now starting to get into the polls. overall in the state of florida, we've seen tremendous turnout. 6.5 million floridians have already cast their ballots. that's more people than voted in the 2000 election altogether. we're expecting tremendous turnout today and in the coming hours. again, that

. >> in miami, quite the contrast, crowds are cheering castro's death and that's where we find our boris sanchez, tell us more about the contrast of how people are behaving there in miami versus what elian gonzalez is now saying. >> reporter: fred, it's hard to believe that both these groups of people are reacting to the death of the same person. there's a dj here that set up speakers and a huge crowd here. it's got a considerably bigger since the last time we spoke to you but it's important to point out this is a third or fourth of what we saw yesterday and night before. obviously, there's elation here and there's a tremendous amount of relief, something that people here have been telling us that they've been looking forward to this moment for a very long time. this is something they've even been praying for very different in cuba. somber, nine days of mourning for fidel castro and perhaps no one best encompasses that divide more than elian gonzalez, a story that captured people here and on the island for months. as you know, and if you listen to elian's words and he describes fidel as

cnn's boris sanchez has more on the celebrations there. >> reporter: the party is just getting started here in little havana. we're outside of cafe -- this is the epicenter of the cuban american exile community here in miami. there are literally hundreds of people celebrating the death of fidel castro. there's music playing, people banging pots and pans. hundreds of flags and lots of chanting. one of the chants we've heard over and over again is fidel, you tyrant. take your brother with you. it's very kind of dark to think that people are celebrating someone's death. people say they've been waiting for this for a very long time. they've perceived fidel as somebody who is repressive and essentially stole their homeland away. you have to remember, fidel castro was in power in cuba since 1959. these are very different generations of people, young and old, that have come out to show their joy and their hope that this could mean a new chapter for the island of cuba. of course, the other thing to consider is that there are many personal stories here, a lot of people that wish that their fami

she is sad because boris epstein is not here. instead of boris, we have republican steve schmidt, nbc political analyst. lady and gentlemen, good to see you. there is some dispute about how messed up the trump transition is. what do you think? messed up or basically par for the course? >> messed up. he was a chaos candidate. nothing he has done so far has calmed anyone's fears. how much is it trickling down to normal people? not that much. i need transition. you float a lot of trial balloons, but it seems like all the warring factions in his camp are throwing spaghetti against the wall to see what sticks. they are already saying it has broken down into a nice fight. they have to get their act together and project confidence. >> you don't need knives for spaghetti? what is going on over there? >> it is a knife fight. it is disorganized and chaotic. one would expect nothing less. we will have a clearer sense a couple of weeks from now. one encouraging sign is they said they are going to drain the stwaump. i think it is entirely pos

she is sad because boris epstein is not here. instead of boris epstein, we have stephen schmidt, the analyst for john mccain's presidential race. lady, gentlemen, good to see you. there is some dispute about how messed up the trunk transition is. lis: it's really messed up. he was a chaos candidate. i don't think people want a chaos president. nothing he has done so far has calmed anybody's fears about that. i don't think that much. with any transition, and you know this, you float a lot of trial balloons. it seems like all the warring factions in his camper are throwing spaghetti at the wall to see what sticks. they are saying it's already broken out into a knife fight. so i think they have to get their act together and project a little more confidence. john: you don't need knives for spaghetti, but knife fights? spaghetti fights? steve: it's disorganized and chaotic. one would expect nothing less. we will have a clearer sense in a couple of weeks from now. i think it was entirely possible that it was news to them that the trans

max wolf, and boris schlossberg. boris, you just heard dom's report and our retort, agreement, sort of, be careful. do you think it will be that simple? the bond market sells off and everything interest rate related is doomed. >> no, not doomed forever. i do think that this could be very much the death nell of the bull bond market. we broke above 2% with vengeance now in a ten year. i think the one thing that is sort of universally clear is that rates are going to be headed up. the key question going forward, though, is whether the trump economy is going to be like the reagan economy, we have growth, which means equities and bonds, equities will perform well and yields will go up or a car economy, stagflation, high yields but not enough growth. that could be very, very negative. that's a nonquestion now. we have to see how the policy shapes up. >> all right, if you got a view on the bond market, can it back up any further? what is the interest rate risk here? the is market overreacting, underreacting? >> i think we h

an icon, you know. >> boris sanchez, thanks so much. no one will ever accuse "the brady bunch" of being television's gold standard but a cheesy, breezy innocence held a certain magic of the turbulent 1970s. cnn media analyst bill carter joins us now with a closer look. >> good morning. how are you? >> i'm good. i grew up with "the brady bunch" so i can remember sitting there and watching it slavishly. i just loved it. and i loved florence henderson as the mom because she was right, she did country create the mom everyone wanted. >> an ideal the show was, you know, obviously imagination of what a family could be if everybody loved each other and really wasn't much conflict. but it was interesting in that it was backward looking that way, sort of this ideal also kind of forward looking balls a blended family which became sort of a standard for a generation, much of the generation that grew up watching "the brady bunch." >> and you know, there were -- there were so many things that we didn't know about the cast of "the brady bunch" while t
