cubans trying to cross the cuban straits. first question. >> thank you very much for taking my question and i am enjoying the show today.jo what i want to know is united states, what is it influenced by? is that every action or because the cuban-americans have so much influence? also isn't that influenced by national security? and whatever is going on in cuba should that be the defining reason? >> thank you i love your question because i agree we don't need an enemy 90 miles off of our d shore the third closest neighbor we should work with you and the whole caribbean and central america to bring this area up so there is less violence and jobs and economic opportunity in cuba should be the centerpiece of this effort. but because traditionally cuban-americans which came out with the bay of pigs with the missile crisis they could push it with the republican party because kennedy didn't provide that final support for bay of pigs cuban-americans became republicans and then became a really important lock so important the democratic

the cubans were called guppies like the fish it's all basis. of course we felt insulted by that and there were many insults about fidel and cuba. the leader of. the family of the contract worker i would gothia paret who was killed in massive bergen nine hundred seventy nine live in very modest conditions in santa clara a three hour drive from havana his mother still deeply feels the pain of his death even thirty eight years later. when. he was a good decent boy always cheerful he had a good heart. with the words because. it's the first time the family have heard about what the stars the files had to say about the death of their son and brother they are horrified and shocked they were left in the dark about the exact circumstances of his death all these years up until now they believed it had been an accident or something to go. with the moment. they sent us a telegram and that we were to see the dog didn't have ana i wanted to go because i wanted to know what had happened and whether he was to blame for a fight. i knew he wasn't and that it was

and that the cubans jumped into the sauna to escape and indeed is article three to. the police and the public prosecutor's office launched an investigation in mass aboard the stars the report stated that the criminal responsibility of five east german citizens is currently being checked on suspicion of involvement in the incident but suddenly everything ground to a halt the investigations were shut down on orders from the highest level of the east german government. massive book of party leadership meaning hanukkah and also interior minister dickel were involved in covering up the murder of the two cubans in mezzeh berg from the outset role model. in their support. in east germany events were covered up and suppressed in cuba they were punished all the cubans who were allegedly involved in the confrontation outside the nightclub were sent to the natori a scum in our state prison they were given long sentences because the socialist friendship had to remain unblemished east german leadership acted from a position of strength towards allied developing countries such as

we also saw a greard cuckoo, a cuban pygmy owl, a west indian woodpecker, a cuban green woodpecker and a cuban screech owl. >> you see my dot here. >> reporter: yeah, yeah. i see him, i see him. >> that is it. >> reporter: beautiful bird. lookt that bird. >> i think the most fitting english wo for this is "cute." >> reporter: we were joined by wildlife biologist ana porezecanski.ec she is dr of the center for bio-diversity and conservation at the ammuican um of natural history in new york. in 2015, the museum launched a partnership with the cuban museum of natural history. they funded an expedition to cuba's humboldt national park, 275 square miles of extraordinary diversity, from sea level to peaks of nearly 4,000 feet. >> we were able to go and do an inventory, a survey of the bio-diversity of the park together with park technicians, cuban scientis and museum scientists. and we found amazing things, some species and some cases that we didn't know were in the park and probably, several species new to science.or >> rr: cuba's ecological bounty is a consequence of some deliberate planni

and the cuban people are suffering again. it's not becoming more democratic, because you know, we're once again beating them over the head. so, i think if we're interested in the outcome, opening up to a place that is 90 miles from florida, and seeing that our ideas can prevail through travel and commerce rather than through this would be the better course of action. >> over 20 minutes left. for democrats, 202-748-8001. thanks for waiting. madison, wisconsin, on the independent line. >> hi, good morning. i am wondering, ben, as a former national security adviser, national security, and how you have seen that perception of aide change both in washington and among normal americans around the country. and also the possible reprecushions are of this change and how other world leaders perceive the u.s. >> a tough one in american politics. i think what's hard for people to understand is first of all, how a small fraction of the budget is. a small budget of the money we spend. it does enormous good. some of it is about saving lives

the cubans were suffering under that embargo. the idea of promoting democracy, castro was in power for six years. clearly, what we were doing wasn't working. more american travel, more information reaching cubans, more access to the internet then not only would their lives impr improve but ultimately it would be more likely to open up political change. >> okay, thank you. okay. thank you. i want to thank -- who is that? i want to thank senators klobachar and booker for joining us this afternoon. now in the president's campaign, he promised two things. he would appoint a nominee to the supreme court who would undo roe, send it to the states, he said. and he promised he would appoint a nominee who would undo the health care that so many people depend on. he has done it. he had two groups, federalist society and the heritage foundation, one of which is dedicated to repealing roe, the other which is dedicated to getting rid of health care for americans. vet the nominees. and he chose someone from the list. you can be sure that the fe

ever since the cuban revolution thousands of troops stand at the ready. cuban and u.s. watch each other from guard towers. and mines have been laid to keep the u.s. invirgading or taking base. the sign when you enter says it all. >> one of the most restricted polices in all of cuba. need a special pass to visit the town. after years of asking the government they relented and allowed a group of foreign journalists to make a quick visit. restrictions were put in place to keep cubans from trying to go to the u.s. from sneaking into the base. or the government claimed to prevent agents from inciting a war between the countries. when outsiders do venture in they draw a crowd. many of the towns 11,000 residents say they support the government. but complain they live in perhaps the most isolated corner of an isolated island. >> today as a young cuban i fall in love with someone who isn't from here, i have to ask permission for them to come here. there's nowhere else like that. >> the base occupies 45 square miles of land. a deal signed after the u.s. invasion supporting cuba t

jules: i was a reporter at the pentagon during the cuban missile crisis. robert kennedy played an essential role in being a go-between to avoid the situation. i have no doubt that he would have done whatever his brother had decided to do, but he did play a very critical role in averting nuclear war. >> i was struck reading your book how often he referred back to that, how pivotal it was in his thinking about the world. we have two extraordinary authors who have written to books.terrific there will be time to talk to them afterward and purchase their books. i encourage you to read them because i have found them both really fascinating accounts of a really important figure in american history and i think it is appropriate we are here to recognize him 50 years later. thank you all for coming today.
