was fidel castro a communist? now, you have to recall that in the late 1950s and 1960s, the battle against international communist conspiracy was the organizing principle on which american foreign policy was based. it wasn't just the spread of communism that was so feared, it was the fact that the communists had nuclear weapons. and given the rhetoric coming out of the kremlin, khrushchev was saying all sorts of things like we'll bury you, those were his words, they seemed more willing to use them, i point out, the president of a communist country 90 miles offshore was just intolerable. not just conservatives like barry goldwater and nixon but everybody. fidel castro was interrogated on the subject of communism everywhere he went on his visit. by president nixon. by congressional subcommittee, by scores of journalists. everyone asked him the same question. dr. castro -- are you a commune senator frist he answered the same every time. no, he was not a communist, never would be. when he left new york on april 25 the

wanted castro gone. the operation moved forward inexorably through february and march and finally n early april after weeks of hemming and hawing, president kennedy gave it the thumbs up. the ill held out possibility of cancelling did but he never did and for reasons that i've mentioned i don't good there was ever a chance that he would have. to where we began. april 15, in the opening attack cuban air fields. meant to that was destroy fidel castro's air force. i cover the invasion and aftermath in great detail in the ook but it's hard to do it meao justice in a few minutes. so i'm afraid you'll have to read the book if you want to full story. but for the moment i'll just say the important thing about those 15 is that on april they did not completely take out castro's air force. a dozen about half intact. half a dozen of his planes. many.was half a dozen too the following evening, april 16, president kennedy canceled the thatd round of air strikes were scheduled for the morning of april 17. these strikes

secretary castro.ou for being here. >> on the security clearance issue, i don't know national security backgrounds on these sorts of issues. i want to get a response. so this controversial that's happening between democrats and congress who are upset of the way trump administration hand handling it. >> it is ironic. based on how he raised his campaign, clamming minute ton and about his he mails. this is the sloppest when it comes to handling classified information and these issues are related to national security. my hope is that congress will continue to assert its authority and get a hold of documents to investigate exactly what is happening in terms of the white house, over ruling the career staff that was made recommendations on certain individuals should get and security experience or not. >> you they think so punsing what the norms were. before this administration busted through all these norms. clearance and this process but a whole bunch of other processes within the federal government. i also

i'm introducing ordinance to introduce the castro cultural districts. i hope we will soon be adding the castro cultural district to the list. the ordinance is a result of the neighborhood process that began in 2017 when members of the community expressed a desire to ensure that castro's past and present as one of the most neighborhoods in the country be preserved and that a cultural district be preserved. the castro is a neighborhood with rich, political and historical significance to the lgbtq worldwide. it's been recognized for half a century as a symbol of lgbtq liberation and enclave for lgbtq people to find safety, acceptance and chosen family. the boundaries of the cultural district were determined by a thorough process. that includes the castro and nearby lgbtq communities serving institutions including the lgbtq community center and open house as well as the new home of the san francisco gay men's chorus centre or the arts. following the passage of proposition f and dedicated funding this ordinance will allow the castro to access critical resour
