do with cuba. cuba made much more sense as an american colony at the time, than the philippines does. so the u.s. military does not evacuate cuba after the spanish-american war until they agreed to add the platt amendment to their constitution. the platt amendment is approved by the u.s. congress and added to the cuban constitution in 1901. let me give you a list of what it has in it. the platt amendment says the united states can intervene in cuban affairs, especially politics and presidential elections. the platt amendment. the u.s. can intervene in cuban affairs, especially politics and elections. the u.s. can have permanent military bases in cuba, the most famous of which is guantanamo bay. and do americans retain that base to the present? yes they do. , so the united states can interfere in politics, they have a military base, and cuba can make no other similar treaties or negotiations like this with another foreign power. the u.s. can interfere in their politics. the u.s. can have a military

put in place prices are fixed cuba is totally dependent on soviet days. but the government has another reason to worry in 1961 america launches a failed to sea and air invasion against cuba known as the bay of pigs fidel and cheney are no obsessed with fending off a us invasion in response the soviets send 50000 troops to her advantage. yes it will close its. unique mall as the zeke i mean everybody. well again i don't eat. in 1962 the cuban missile crisis threatens nuclear war president. and it installs missiles on you and the soviet secretly deploy nuclear warheads to cuba the cia discovers the messiah was after 13 days of escalation and us assurances that it won't invade cuba the soviets removed the missiles. co-chair some men don't want to look in your home if you are up at 370 seen. effie there are many from the hash. to our guest hall give a high prio you know if it is 3 my recent plan has in lieu of us that there are men now clearly phoneme is who we are financially dump the plan as the newer version of. the missile crisis really reveals a lot abou

a lot of folks in cuba at that point who are illiterate. he formed the literacy brigade, you may remember that. he went out and helped people learn to read and write. i think teaching people to read and write is a good thing. the truth is the truth and that is what happened on the first few years of the castro regime. >> dana: has democratic rivals including their pete buttigieg are blasting the comments. >> i don't want to be explaining why our nominee is encouraging people to look on the bright side of the castro regime. why are we spotlighting the literacy programs instead of being unambiguous in our condemnation about the way he treated his own people? >> dana: and michael bloomberg said fidel case, castro -- firing squads and the murder of thousands of his own people. all this as the candidates battle for a win, and democratic what do you think about this whole issue of saying that the castro regime deserves praise for a literacy program especially when the literacy rate was at 80% and does it outweigh the negatives about fidel castro?

conversation is illegal immigration and policy towards cuba and people coming from cuba. in regards to the latino vote, it is quite diverse in its viewpoint. when you take a look at who president trump w5% to 28% of the vote -- vote% to 28% of the according to the exit polls. that is an indication of how diverse it is and not all feel the same about policy issues across the country. imprecationse the about senator sanders' comments about castro? guest: it remains to be seen. through 2008 and 2012 and into 2016, it seemed the vote for latino in florida was leaning towards democrat candidates. in 2016, trump won more than half the latino vote in florida, which was a reversal of many years. viewers,t to remind here is what senator sanders said about fidel castro. [video clip] the 1980's, president sanders had something to say about sandinistas in nicaragua. he is explaining why the cuban people didn't rise up and help the u.s. overthrown cuban leader fidel castro. >> he gave them health care and transform the society. you can't sibling say everything is bad. when fidel -- yo

during the pre-castro cuba, i don't know if you are aware of this, more americans went to live in cuba than cubans left cuba to come to the united states. that's the reality, not the myth, that some of these would -- that some, like senator sanders, would like to create. so, again, i must reiterate the demand that i and many of my colleagues -- by the way, including, for example, amnesty international and secretary pompeo, among others have made. because i want to take this opportunity with all of you here for the immediate release of jose daniel ferrar. he has been languishing in a cuban prison now and being ortured since october 1, 2019. again, as far as we can tell, he's not only languishing in prison, but also being tortured in prison. he's a renowned independent journalist, just like all of you, a journalist and leader of the human rights organization -- [speaking foreign language]. he, along with all of cuban political prisoners have to be released. but it seems that the apologists for the castro regime, those now and those for the last few years, will like to talk about maybe so

president castro in cuba and said look you've made great progress in educating. young people every child in cuba it's a basic education that's that's a huge improvement from where once earlier my colleague daniel hawkins discussed the potential impact of standards remarks on the race at the peril of guests. but he saw into saying this thing at a time when the democratic party's already split it's the vibe that it's going through perhaps a bit of a p.r. it means here across this i mean this is a really bad decision isn't it sanders to me shows his integrity here look he's been saying this for years that there's videotapes of him saying these things about cuba and fidel castro in the soviet union i mean how can he backtrack on those things honestly you know he's just you know reaffirming ideas that he has had for many years the concern is not him saying good things about the literacy program it's i said it thing that mussolini got the trains to run on time that was not what it is that people associated with what mussolini did it happened to be the case but he was a

again, in contrast, during the pre-castro cuba, more americans were traveling to cuba and going to cuba than cubans coming to the united states. today, now, madam speaker, here we have an opportunity to condemn senator bernie sanders' blatantly false and hurtful comments regarding the racist, terrorist castro regime. join me in standing in solidarity with the cuban people. by the way, by extension also in solidarity with the venezuelan people who are working to regain their freedom against what the o.a.s. secretary general has called a cuban army of occupation in venezuela. so join me in standing in solidarity with the people and not with the regime that oppresses them. thank you, madam speaker. i yield back. the speaker pro tempore: the gentlelady from florida. ms. shalala: i reserve. the speaker pro tempore: the gentlelady reserves the balance of her time. the gentleman from texas. mr. burgess: madam speaker, i have no additional speakers and am prepared to close if the gentlelady is. the speaker pro tempore: all right. the gentleman is recognized. mr. burgess: madam speaker, i yield

barack obama said in terms of cuba.ba made progress on education. yes, i. [boo] >> really? really? what barack obama said great progress on education. >> what you were doing is -- >> healthcare. that was barack obama. >> excuse me. >> you did not condemn what they did. >> uncategorically true. >> what did you tell them. >> i have condemned authoritarianism whether it's people in the saudi arabia. >> how about cuba and nicaragua. >> cuba or nicaragua totalitarianism of any stripe is bad. that's different than saying governments occasionally do things that are good. >> oh, come on. steve: he said repeatedly that's what barack obama said. so we will show you what barack obama said in march of 2016. >> president castro in cuba. i said, look, have you made great progress in educating young people. every child in cuba gets a basic education. that's a huge improvement from where it was. the life expeak assistance of cubans is equivalent to the united states despite it being a very poor country because they have access to healt

we're very opposed to believe or thorough peer in the chair of cuba but you know you know it's unfair to simply say everything is but you know when fidel castro came into office you know what he did he had a massive literacy program it's not a bad think after 4 years of looking on in horror as trump cozied up to dictators we need a president who will be extremely clear in standing against regimes that violate human rights abroad we can't risk nominating someone who doesn't recognize this fidel castro left a dark legacy of forced labor camps religious repression widespread poverty firing squads and the murder of thousands of his own people but sure bernie let's talk about his literacy program during the debate centers also noted that his views on cuba where the same as barack obama. said the president dancing. and said look you've made great progress in educating. young people every child in cuba it's a basic education that's that's a huge improvement from where it once. earlier my colleague daniel hawkins discussed the potential impact of sanders remarks on the race with a panel of gu

but it was the first initial wave in the 1960s came after the revolution in cuba. also there have been essubsequent ways in the late 60s and early 70s, with a bullet in the 1980s but interestingly there continues to be the 2000, a growing number of migrants from cuba to the united states. partly because of the us final policy which would open the door to pathway to citizenship for any cuban immigrant who could come to the us and make it to the us. way to citizenship is different andis for other groups of immigrants . the obama administration did shutdown policy, policy is subsequently reimbursed under the trump administration interesting there have been a flow of immigrants from cuba over the years, in recent years, many of whom have been coming to the us education but also economicreasons . >> jay-z in california, a latino owner, morning. good morning. i enjoyed the show and its very informative. >> but i wanted to say, you guys recently, one of your colors y said that they don't understand how come of the mexican latino people are supporting this president and it

regardless of your views on castro on cuba or on socialism even i mean surely like we said bunny saw a saying this thing at a time when the democratic party's already split it's the vaunted it's going through perhaps a bit of a p.r. it means here across this i mean this is a very bad decision isn't it. well look i think sanders to me shows his integrity here look he's been saying this for years that there's videotapes of him saying these things about cuba and fidel castro in the soviet union i mean how can he backtrack on those things honestly you know he's just you know reaffirming ideas that he has had for many years meanwhile you know the idea he can't say something good about someone like fidel in cuba which frankly in addition to literacy also has a great health care system has done a lot in terms of health care for many other countries helped overthrow apartheid in south africa as nelson mandela said i mean there's things you can log about that country and what's wrong to do that meanwhile you know let's look at our own tyrants and you know i'd put up fidel's record against any

another male dominated domain here in cuba.that as you may hear this you make amulets guys told me to surf somewhere else so i wouldn't steal the way. i see myself as a strong woman i can be very determined when i set out to do something i don't stop until i've succeeded in the lord. there's not much of a serve scene in cuba yeah guy has been detained and questioned by police all too often. you know some of the thought i was going to get to my surfboard and head to the u.s. . when she's not out mastering the waves ya run surfing classes for children from poor backgrounds. and especially enjoys working with girls. the 36 year old doesn't make any money with her mentoring. and as yet to get any state support but for her that's not the point where. you are able to get over. i do it because i enjoy it. i do it because it's what i love and i want to share it with others i don't need to be paid you know necessary down there may not come you . mean while on the am. got some bad news the lease on her beloved studio is not going to be r

second, about the role of cuba. cuba and venezuela have an important role. they're a part of a counterintelligence who are bringing members of the army in jail. almost 200 are in jail because of political reasons. with cuba we have an important -- i hope we have in the future an important lesson of what we can doz as the international community. first in venezuela, no, that's not going to happen in venezuela. venezuela is not cuba. how many times we heard that 15 years ago. i was in high school when chavez send member of the army to teach kids how to behave as soldiers. i am against that in my conscious. even in my house that was part of the core values, being against those things. when i was 13 years old. i was a crazy kid and a lot of old-school guys say it's only a member of the army in the school, not that bad. a little discipline, it's not that bad. after they took over institutions and we heard venezuela is not cuba, maybe they have control of the justice system, part of the electoral system, but it will not become cuba at the end and that approach of

super tuesday vote see its front runner bernie sanders ramadan by opponents over his remarks praising cuba's literacy programs under castro. also this hour greek police resort to tear gas as anger over government plans to build new migrant camps on the islands of less posts and boil over. and britain's 4 time olympic champion comes under fire after the b.b.c. documentary claims he lied to doping officials about taking a controversial supplement. good morning and welcome to the program this is our international coming to you live from the russian capital bring you a live news update this hour. u.s. president donald trump has threatened further sanctions against venezuela targeting the country's oil sector caracas accuses washington of using sanctions as a weapon of mass destruction and a mass form of warfare it's been a year now since the u.s. formally recognized venezuela's opposition leader. as the country's interim president showing the door to the legitimate government of nicholas and the u.n. meanwhile has raised the alarm over devastating food shortages in the country are often looks at

nature of cuba.ply say everything is bad. you know, when fidel castro came into office you know what he did? he had a massive literacy program? is that a pad thing even though fidel castro did it. >> a lot of dissidents didn't -- >> that's right. we condemned that. liz: this comes to u.n. united nations study. 9.3 million people in venezuela, a third of the population are starving or moderately food insecure. remember, bernie said food lines are a good thing. all the stuff is coming back. you know what i mean, john? >> it is horrible. this reminds me of when castro died, justin trudeau, kind of lost prime minister of canada tweeted some note of, that he was wonderful and there was, this whole discussion about how you know, castro did good things, while he took away freedoms and future of so many people. you know, you're absolutely right, liz. bernie sanders cannot win the election without florida and the cubans who are exile there remember what happened with castro. they're going to hold that against

us democratic presidential candidate bernie found this has provoked tangle with what the preschool cuba and fidel castro that after this quick break. join me every thursday on the alex salmond show and i'll be speaking to guests of the world of politics sports business i'm showbusiness i'll see you then. welcome back well the frontrunner for the u.s. democratic party's 2028 presidential nomination has provoked bipartisan anger by storm city defending literacy programs infidel castro's cuba these self-styled socialists remarks were initially made in a c.b.s. interview in which he also stressed that he condemns all forms of authoritarianism were very opposed to believe or 3rd tour in nature of cuba but you know when you go it's unfair to simply say everything is but you know when fidel castro came into office you know what he did he had a massive literacy program is not a bad thing. senator sanders comments * on fidel castro are ill informed and insulting 2000 so for radians castro was a murderous dictator who oppress his own people his literacy program was an altruistic it was a cynical

bernie is blasting criticisms of his support for communist cuba fidel castro.this dates back to the '70s and other communist leaders in latin america. bernie refused to apologize for supporting fidel castro. made know mention of castro's firing squads, political purges, mass arrests in cuba. bernie praised china. he wants to give more power, more money to the irs to come after taxpayers to pay for his big government plans. watch this. >> when fidel castro first came to power which was when, fifth at '59? >> '59' 60. >> it he initiate ad major literacy program a lot ever folks in cuba were illiterate. he formed a literacy brigade. he went out to help people to learn and write. you know what? i think teaching people to read and write is a good thing. [applause] i happened toe believe in democracy and authoritarianism. take china is another example. china is authoritarian country. but can anyone deny, the facts are clear they have taken more people out of extreme poverty in history. why do you criticize? i say that is the truth. liz: critics saying not the truth.

us democratic presidential candidate bernie sanders has provoked anger with what i think praise of cuba and put out castro more on that after this short break tayla death. they're just taking over all the alternative all cutting taking and as i say the stage shows that this is what's called real choices i.e. binary choice and only choice is if you say. i'm just binary thing is not a chance for the states to sort of provide a new architecture revive the call ted and start negotiations with. israel then are invited to negotiate then by to think about what's being put on the table. what politicians do you should. put themselves on the line they get accepted or rejected. so when you want to be president i'm sure. some want. to go right to the press this is what the full story of the more people. interested in the why. should. welcome back the front runner for the us democratic party's 2020 presidential nomination has provoked by pots than anger by storm city defending literacy programs in fidel castro's cuba these self-styled socialists remarks were initially made in a c.b.s. interview in w

were very opposed to believe or authoritarian that you're of cuba but you know when you go it's unfair to simply say everything is but you know when fidel castro came into office you know what he did he had a massive literacy program it's not a bad thing after 4 years of looking on in horror as trump cozied up to dictators we need a president who will be extremely clear in standing against regimes that violate human rights abroad we can't risk nominating someone who doesn't recognize this fidel castro left a dog legacy of forced labor camps religious repression widespread poverty firing squads and the murder of thousands of his own people because you will bernie let's talk about his literacy program earlier my colleague daniel hawkins discussed the potential impact of senders remarks on the race with a panel of guests. bunnie sana saying this thing at a time when the democratic party's already split it's the vibe that it's going through perhaps a bit of a p.r. it means here across this i mean this is a really bad decision isn't it the sanders to me shows his integrity here look he's be

the fact that those that live in cuba can experience oppression and spell it too? come on, i mean, you know, it's just ridiculous. and so we have got to figure out a way to call it out. and i think that's what jim jordan has done such a good job of. let me just tell you -- [ applause ] you got one person standing over there. >> there we go, come on. >> yeah. so -- >> now we've got more now. >> i'm kidding, i'm kidding. the president calls him 128 and 1. he doesn't want to hear this. that was his -- according to the president -- his wrestling record. now, i'm not sure if that was actually the exact number, but he calls him 128-1. you know what the president asked about that? he says can you imagine how tough that one guy was. and we need to be as tough as that one guy who took down jim jordan when it comes to fighting back on all this. >> that's exactly right. >> so, you said you started this off, you lit the match here, that you think the president's going to win. >> i do. i do. mainly because he's in the promise-keeping business. he has been keeping his promises.

so he doubled down on cuba because he actually believes it.nd it's refreshing to hear a democrat be honest and if you want to read more about bernie my eye would suggest the mother jones article from 2015, google it and you will see some of his writings. my favorite thing again is when the media is shocked, you are seeing them shocked now that the guy who calls himself a socialist does in fact endorse socialism. there like oh, my god, let's get everybody and sabotage the guy you named your dog after. why was bernie getting a free pass this entire time? it is only one reason, the media has a very shallow talent stack. they have no expertise in economics, so they can't ask the questions that can take somebody like a burning out so they can talk about he's been around forever talking about never having to pay for stuff, free stuff and now we are just getting to these questions. >> jesse: answers are so pedestrian. he told anderson cooper i can account for every nickel and dime. how about every trillion or billion? >> juan: the question is whether

very opposed to believe or 3rd period nature of cuba but you know you could it's unfair to simply say everything has met you know when fidel castro came into office you know what he did he had a massive literacy program it's not a bad think. senator sanders comments on fidel castro are ill informed and insulting to thousands of for radians castro was a murderous dictator who oppress his own people his literacy program was an altruistic it was a cynical afeard to spread is dangerous philosophy and consolidate power after 4 years of looking on in horror as drawn cozied up to dictate is we need a brother didn't who will be extremely clear in standing against regimes that violate human rights a brode we can't risk nominating someone who doesn't recognize this fidel castro left a dark legacy of forced labor camps religious repression widespread poverty firing squads and the murder of thousands of his own people but is sure bernie let's talk about his literacy program the campaign team of bernie sanders rival mike bloomberg was quick to try and capitalize on the divisive comments posted a s

here look he's been saying this for years that there's videotapes of him saying these things about cuba and fidel castro and the soviet union i mean how can he backtrack on those things artists lee you know he's just you know reaffirming the ideas that he has had for many years the concern is not him saying good things about the literacy program it's i said it thing that mussolini got the trains to run on time that was not what it is that people associated with what mussolini did it happened to be the case but he was a murderous dictator as was castro spineless democratic establishment shows their true colors it's like a litmus test every time you can say one positive word about cuba or a one word in defense of venezuelan sovereignty they want to make sure there's no critique and so imperialist critique of the u.s. foreign policy establishment so this is a very sophisticated form of censorship to try to narrow the perimeters as we have more and more debates within the democratic party coming out of that anyone can argue literacy is a bad thing literacy programs that's probably we could

the role of cuba. cuba and venezuela have an important role.part of a country intelligence, who are bringing of the army into yale. almost 200 members of the army jail because of political reasons but with cuba we have an important, i hope we future an important lesson of what we can do as an community.al first, it happens with venezuela. that common phrase saying no, going to happen in is not a, venezuela cuba. how many times have we heard ago? a 15 years i was in high school when chavez, a member of the army, to teach kids how to behave as soldiers. that, by gainst conscience, even in my house, it was part of the core values, against that kind of into that i wasn't when i was 13 years old but i was a crazy kid and a lot of old chool guys say it's only a member of the army and school. it's not that bad. it's only a little bit of discipline. it's not that bad. fter they took over institutions, and we heard, venezuela is not cuba, maybe control of the justice system, part of the electoral system but it will not become and that e end, approach of

, that cuba made progress on education.- [boos] really? really? whether it's the chinese or when cuba does something good, you acknowledge that. you don't have to trade love letters with them. >> jesse: that's the start of bernie's problems. the democratic front runner getting hit from all sides. >> imagine spending the better part of 2020 with bernie sanders versus donald trump. >> someone in charge of this ticket has to put forward $60 trillion in spending, three times of the american economy? i do not think we do. >> talking about what we are talking about with bernie. bernie has not passed much of everything. >> i did the work and bernie's train crashed trash me for it. >> i'm hearing my name quite a bit tonight. >> jesse: he got the front runner treatment last night. i do not think the attacks are sharp enough and bleeding mouth, and he survives. >> dana: why did they wait until now? bernie sanders had these positions for so long and is weighted to amass these delegates and a foothold in the race and basically saying,

and in cuba these cars will sell for $30,000.ecause the government won't let anybody import cars if you don't let supply and demand limit supply priceses go up. >> what about human spirit in creative ties and productivity, and i mean mention thingses that help with technology, medicine and inio a society that promotes uniformity. >> it kills human creativity and they're ultimate resources but that creativity needs the liberty to flourish, you can see it side by side we're talking about about cuba insaneness and bland cuba food and bernie says why do you need 17 types i don't know about that. but the same meal again and again and drinking the same beer. that's -- constrain human creativity but 90 miles away make delicious food in miami a cuban sandwich is great. a cuba sandwich is old and kind of cruddy when they're given their liberty they do wonderful things with it. instead it is stifled on that island. >> i wanting to go through a few policy finishes. let's see a lot of talk about a green new deal. you know, i can remember i'm

then of course he went to cuba. it wasn't that he just went to cuba.l over the trip. it was the berlin wall all over again. it was the last nail in the could have fin of the cold war. 1200 people went with him. he did the wave with raul castro. i'm shocked that the democrats are acting like this is the direction the party has been going in anyway? >> i caught you on "fox & friends" this morning. i agreed completely. it is absolutely where the democrats are heading. they can't act surprised that bernie sanders is using barack obama as a shield after obama posed in front of a che guevara mural. this is long in the works of the democrats where they normalize these leftist theocracies and bernie sanders is the latest example of that. charles: your origins are from -- >> i was born in the soviet union. charles: so you understand what is happening more than a lot of people. >> yeah. charles: i think a lot of americans who might have even forgot the cold war. >> that is really the fault of our education system, that somebody like bernie sanders can go to the
