american didn't see in cuba when he was there and what happened in cuba is tonight's cuba, the battleamerica. main street in almost any large city in any country south of the border. as it happens, this is one of the main streets in havana, cuba. modern hotels, gambling casinos, exotic restaurants, department stores and office buildings. this is tourist alley. well-known to most american visitors to cuba. to most american visitors, this is cuba. it is all of cuba they usually get to see. it isn't cuba at all, of course. it's a transplanted bit of the united states from the air conditioned hotels to the table linen and silver serving dishes in the restaurants. most of what you see on your screen was built by americans in fact. in havana's case, much of that transplanted bit of north america was built by a special group of americans who have given too many of the cuban people a somewhat peculiar picture of what life in america must be like. john q. there had a whale of a time in havana in december of 1958. several weeks before castro reached that city. i'm albert burke. i will try to te

, and much of cuba. and as i point out in chapter 4, my book that i wrote before the election come "live free or die," socialism and its history of failure. whatever name, whatever manifestation, anyway it's been tried, these promises are never capped. it will always result in dishonesty, broken unfulfilled promises, more poverty, not less poverty. and then when it's all said and done, how much freedom to do give up in the name of false promises of security? a case in point. fidel castro promised a state of the arts socialist utopia, a worker's paradise free of any and all outside influences. instead, he turned this once prosperous country into a destitute wasteland totally dependent on foreign nations. cuba today imports almost all of its food and other basic supplies from vietnam, south america, and yes, even the united states. in the 1960s, cuba attempted to import nuclear missiles from the former soviet union, which brought the world to the brink of a nuclear war. more recently, cuba's close ties wit

and the guys coming from cuba, maybe not. and so there is, there's your inconsistencies at work in the form of credit and politics. it's to be expected. it's, it's not, it's not the unique lead to the democrats or it's a bite. and i'm, i'm sure that on the other side, this happens in south florida. all the time in republican politics, it is the nature of our system. but it does, it should not shape how we truck with the cuban government government that is exported its military to africa and these other places as well as doctors and has involved itself. and in other places around the hemisphere that perhaps it shouldn't. this is problematic for us in here, but, but michael, michael goes, this is, this is going back to the sovereignty issue, or what right does the united states have to say, cuba, you can send your doctors to mexico? i mean, i what's, what's right. i mean, no, i don't think anybody's saying that i think what we are saying though, is that while you behave like you, but hey, we're not going to truck with you at al

of the new revolutionary council. >> a united cuba. , a real cuba, the cuba of jose marti. >> now cubans are united, they've joined the new coalition reluctantly, they don't like the way that the cia is complimenting -- and they rightly assume that the united states participation ensures the operation success. they don't want to be left out of any new cuban government. at this moment in the washington presidency, the president is under heavy pressure, being pressed to acadian vision plant. a major source of this pressure is cia reports on what is happening inside cuba. >> we knew that the cuban pilots were being trained in czechoslovakia. we knew that they were going to have, very shortly, available under cuban direction, weapons in considerable numbers. and i'm inclined to think as i've said before, we'd have a mover to be made short of intervention, probably this was an area of time that had to be made. >> another source of pressure is guatemala. unrest is growing their. the communists from the army are demanding the removal of the brigade. but the government feels threatened. the pres

so the special period never ended in cuba. and that's what, that's the context, the international, historical context that led to people coming to the streets and they have the right to be angry. the question is, who are they angry at? ok, well, micheal, i mean, just before i came to the studio here, i mean the government officials in cuba have acknowledged their faults during this crisis. i mean, this is part of the reaction to the pandemic, the lack of vaccinations. and, but of course i being a conservative, i am and you know that very well, i'm not, i'm not a fan of socialism, not a fan of the social system whatsoever. and i think that people should be be able to peacefully protest. but at the same time, i still think it gets down to the fate of the cuban people. i, i really, i see, you know, when america should do something my, my bottom line is help sometimes or more often than not is, is more trouble. hands off and let them take care of themselves out to the best solution and for god's sake finally lift is ridiculous. em

just leave cuba alone. michael. the same question to you because i have to agree with daniel, is that it's settling old scores, it's, it's very ideologically rigid, and i find it very, very unhelpful. i mean, when marco rubio comes out and talks about, you know, cuba, he, i have to believe he's talking about his own political standing in florida. voters in florida and on and on in. and then, you know, of course, you know, it's all about socialism and socialism. michael, one word but begins with s is never mentioned in this debating it's about sovereignty. cuba has sovereignty. if you look at the, the rhetoric, it's never even considered. but cuba has sovereignty and, and i know you and i are ideologically aligned on many, many things. but i think that, you know, the issue of cuban sovereignty has to be taken to account. and if you do that, then there's a lot of other hard discussions we need to have. go ahead. my friend michael in new york, am i watching? excuse me. the sovereign issue that you take up presupposes t

but in washington, cuba has not been forgotten. in his campaign, the new president has promised to do something about cuba. now he must decide what to do. but his advisers are new and inexperienced. he must rely on the professionals. for military advice, on general lenmister and the joint chiefs, on the cia which is handling the cuban problem, political and military aspects as well as intelligence. cia director allen dulles briefed the president on the situation and told the president the details of the invasion plan known by the code name operation pluto. at that point the landing was to be made in trinidad, 100 miles east of the bay of pigs. the united states was to supply air cover. as time went on, both of these parts of the plan were to be changed with the approval or at least the acquiescence of the cia and the pentagon. at this point dulles simply wanted an okay from the president to continue the preparations. he got it. from this day on, operation pluto gets top priority from the cia. the cia tells the cuban exiles they mus

if when they got back to cuba in this invasion force?fter castro took power in early 1959 and started nationalizing industries and expropriating the property classes. there was an exodus of cubans professionals, you know people with money who saw that these socialist practices were going to be injurious to them and so you had in southern florida a hundred thousand or so. cuban exiles anti-castro the the big challenge for cia was trying to unite them into a single front because there were many differences between them. some of them had been for the previous dictator bautista and most of the others didn't like that there were differences of opinion. and so that was that was a great challenge. what cia? offered to them was a chance to retake their country. and they signed up, you know, there was a recruiting drive and again they were trained in. guatemala nicaragua a few places in the united states despite the state department objecting to to that. and they were hoping to take back their country for freedom. let's let some of our viewers ta

cuba kind of treated them bad. certain jobs you couldn't get onto. you see there was a lot of dark-skinned cubans out there fighting. the light-skinned on ships, which in america, you didn't see the dark skin. then you get off and see the light skin. even now, you don't see -- why over they train them there? you get around here, and you go to the beaches, certain beaches you couldn't go to, couldn't walk on there. you can't go to the hotels and stuff like this. there were slaves and slave owners. >> what wass going on in the -- with the cuban people during the bay of pigs invasion? >> well, there were resistance elements. there were anti-castroo resistance who were expecting some sort of action, some sort of invasion, and were waiting for it. they hadgu weapons. they had explosives. there were active guerrilla movements in the mountains. the problem wasmo that in ordero keep it secret, because cia believed thatt, some of these resistancepe groups were probab penetrated by castro's intelligence service, they were not told. another tmistake. they were

that liberty. >> viva cuba! >> i've spoken to family and friends, people in cuba right now, some are terrified, the cuban government has actually closed off certain towns in cuba not allowing people to go out using the lie that there is covid outbreaks. they don't want people in the streets in the village and the town where my mom grew up. there was a bit of a revolt, they turned over a police vehicle and they went after a mayor in that town. this is a very tenuous situation, but one thing is certain, the cuban people of miami are standing behind their families and their brothers and sisters in cuba and they want the biden administration to speak up and do something about it. >> sean: please send my love, my support, and complete solidarity with the community down in miami and our prayers that cuba may now one day soon be free again. that's our prayer. all right, thank you, sara carter. joining us now with reaction, florida senator marco rubio. you know, senator, by the way, i mean what i say. first things first

china is cuba's number one trading partner. cuba is in the belt and road initiative.we have iran in there. china is in there. russia is in there. at the the at state department you were part of the effort to deny funding to cuba's intelligence apparatus. can you tell us more how that money is used to open press the cuban people? >> absolutely. the trump administration wanted to protect the people of cuba recognizing all the income going to cuban security force, intelligence forces, military forces were used to support things like chinese surveillance technology. to support these repressive apparatuses both within cuba and being exported to venezuela and elsewhere in the region so the idea was let's empower the cuban people. make sure that money that goes to the islands is actually getting into the hands of the cuban people and not getting into the hands of the castro regime. elizabeth: yeah. well that is the issue, right? here's the thing. the cuban communist dictatorship blames the u.s. embargoes. russia, china, they blame the embargoes. the u.s. embargo is not stopp

cuba for morality, you know, stuff for an under is unbearable communist rule. viva cuba libra, as so as cuba and so as cuba might as well turn into cuban lives, matter, please don't blame me for trying to sound sarcastic when talking about serious hardships of an entire nation. but just think of this, it's america, that's been squeezing cuba in the clutches of its economic blockade for 6 decades and refused to lifted. even when the pandemic kicked in, even when $184.00, you a nation called on washington to do so. just for the sake of the people in the difficult times in havana, this hard line is being compared to genocide. but nope, the americans can't be bothered because the sanctions are a tool for democracy. and that probably works as a universal excuse. havana is blaming the u. s. for inciting protests, and backing them with cash plus, it's firmly against the hypocrisy and the voices of concern from the neighbors. bottom. we are addressing revolutionaries who may have become entangled. addressing cubans who may have some concerns, but we will not allow the opponents of the revolu

and cuba realized it needs the world. and that's why the people that are so hungry, inflation is at 5600 percent. it's going to get worse. and the question is, what will the government do? will they lock down social media? they may have to well and then kind of already have that kind of shut off their internet at this point on that. but you mentioned it, and i'm going to go off what you said. the outside forces almost immediately saw these tweets that were coming from marco rubio, and they were very much encouraging this protest for freedom saying this is it. this is what we've never seen. the type of response in the streets. this is the beginning of freedom, the over throwing so cute mark rubio. ted cruz just is excited. thank come on, let's get behind it. guys are a joke. these guys are a joke. have been a joke. hope so that they think, you know, they're politicians, they survive off of this crap. the only thing that cubans in miami have been fed for the past 70 years is the promises in the whims of politicians. none of

i mean, kennedy is attacking nixon from the right on cuba. saying that the cuban revolution has to be quarantined and that the opponents have to be supported. they put out a campaign statement that the eisenhower administration was not helping providing virtually no help. and so in this debate, which was the fourth of the presidential debates, nixon is countering that press statement from the kennedy campaign for all of those reasons that he articulated and so you have this bizarre situation, if you're an american voter in 1960, and you don't want the united states to intervene in cuba, you would vote for nixon. who articulated why it shouldn't happen. even though nixon himself was actually pressing for the cia to act against castro and even one of the u.s. military involved. if you're an american voter in 1960 and you want intervention in cuba, you're going to vote for kennedy who actually have serious misgiving about it. particularly any use of overt force on the the part of either cia or the military. so, it was a bizarre situation. and it
