it's actually engraved with a scene of the city of havana in cuba. images of the fortifications around havana. british ships in the harbor. the british and american forces colonial american forces had taken havana from the spanish in 1762. and this horn was carved to commemorate the embarkation of the troops after the peace of paris. the city was illuminated at the embarkation of the british troops, july 7, 1763. and so this is really marking a moment in which britain and americans colonial british americans were revelling in being part of this magnificent empire. they expected to reap the fruits of that victory. they had defeated the spanish. they had defeated the french and their allies. and so britain was left with a vastly expanded empire. not just in north america, but in india, in africa, one of the last actions of the war actually took place when the british took manila in the philippines. it was first global war. sometimes the seven years war where the french and indian war here in north america. and so this horn is a great sort of embodyment

the passengers are on the boat, they are looking at havana. for german jews, they have never seen palm trees, they have never and theretic fruit, were boats which were surrounding the st. louis, rented by family members of the passengers already in cuba. but no one could disembark. the st. louis receives the order to leave the cuban water on june 2 and because more than 734 people on the st. louis have registered on the american quota list mentioned, cuba is just a waiting place for them. that meant that the moment their number came up, it could be a question of days, weeks, months or years, but cuba would not be the final destination for 734 passengers are of 937. so, the captain of the st. louis decided to sell along the shore of the united states --sail along the shore of the united states. and this is where it becomes an american story. there were many responses, many different levels. rebecca mentioned the response from that united states government. there was also responses from the newspapers and the american citizens as well. the st. l

he entered into a partnership with the mafia to run the casinos in havana. ae mafia, as we all know, is murderous, blackmailing, extortion criminal organization, and he gets a cut of the action in return for this. to give you a real measure of the man, he has his police forces rounding up little girls, miners, and bringing them into havana out in the villages to favors forxual well-heeled businessman who are gamblers in the casino coming in from the united states. not surprisingly, a lot of cubans did not like this. if you objected, you found yourself in a dungeon tortured, executed. thus, the revolution starts. and it really was not castro that started it. he was actually in jail. a woman named teddy a sanchez -- her bestchez, one of friends, a young girl, 12 or 13, got raped, and she said enough was enough, and she is celebrated in human history -- in cuban history as the starter of the revolution. castro takes power, and it's not real clear where he stands at first. people are kind of getting the measure of this man, but he makes it very clear from the be

of the golden circle, a group that envisioned southern slavery extending beyond the epicenter of havana, embracing not just the southeast that the entire caribbean and south america. they were working behind the scenes. the evidence, when you sift through it, is very thin. it seems clear the draft riots were kind of an organic perfect storm of resentment that had been building for maybe half a century. this was were saying not so much an irish riot but a working man's right, the largest in our history geared if you look at the 50 years leading up to the civil war, you can see that. the working man's position is being steadily downgraded by this revolution in technology and a market economy. you have railroad, paved roads, canals, telegraphs, all of this is coming in between 1810 and 1816. richard: a lot of jobs, but are they lower paying? barnet: exactly. cog in a is a machine. -- have to live near a factory for steady work. one of the things we see in the riot is the burning of the grain elevators in brooklyn. it was a kind of lashing out against automation. thrownrain elevators had gr

everything possible within the law to prevent them from being wiped out by moscow's surrogates in havana and managua, you then had this investigation to blame the problem on the executive branch. it does not make sense to me. in my opinion, these hearings have caused serious damage to our national interests. our adversaries laugh at us, and our friends recoil in horror. i suppose it would be one thing if the intelligence committees wanted to hear all of this in private and thereafter pass laws which in the view of congress make for better policies or better functioning government. but, to hold them publicly for the whole world to see strikes me as very harmful. not only does it embarrass our friends and allies with whom we have worked, many of whom have helped us in various programs, but it must also make them very wary of helping us again. i believe that these hearings, perhaps unintentionally so, have revealed matters of great secrecy in the operation of our government. and sources and methods of intelligence activities have clearly been revealed to the detriment of our security. as a

he said that in his speech in little havana talking about the u.s. policy towards cuba and also mentioned venezuela. in saudi arabia, he said that the powers there need to take care of it. it's going to be really interesting to see what he says in poland tomorrow. it's an underreported part of this whole speech. he's going to give a major address that's probably going to touch on what are the east europeans supposed to be doing about russia right there in article five. donald trump has been outsourcing american leadership out there. i think what he's been trying to do in acting unstable is trying to get the regional powers in asia to deal with north korea. the question is, is south korea actually ready to deal with north korea? i don't know the answer to that question. >> my panel will stay with us, we have a lot more to talk about today. but up next we'll go to hamburg, germany, ahead of president trump's first face-to-face meeting with vladimir putin. is president trump already boxed in, though, before they even shake hands? work up a not at night.
