he was president it took to do include all of the cia so so they did put together this dossier fidel castro did apparently after the failed attempt to kill him in chile in one thousand nine hundred one he was like hey enough is enough we're supposed to you know nixon nixon is the one who agreed not to invade cuba by the way not kennedy and apparently they were so put out that they compiled this dossier but by the way you you did interview one time one of the gentlemen that went to kill for the castro in chile antonio vesey on it yes i remember it well. and i got to have you go talk to him but you know. so this is when we were working on another book the early ninety's so the dust included all of those attempts and the cia only had a little piece of it now the cia director richard helms had continued the cia mafia plots under j.f.k. without telling j.f.k. or his own cia director helms that continued the plotting under l.b.j. when he became cia director without telling the whole beach and so by by nine hundred seventy two richard helms was nixon's cia director nixon knew some of this stuff be

one five months before the first watergate break in when nixon's cia once again tried to kill fidel castro and so that would have been bad enough for it to come out that from the time he was vice president to the president nixon is using a lot of unsavory characters including the mafia notorious mafia god. there's a mafia dons like johnny was willing to kill fidel that would have been bad enough but at the same time of both of those attempts when they started september sixth and in december seventy one some of the same people involved in that first attempt also donating to a one million or one million dollar bribe to richard nixon that is true in december seventy one five months before the first watergate break in in september sixty so twice they bribed the next twice they bribed nixon and that was first to stall an indictment of jimmy hoffa the teamster president in one nine hundred sixty in one thousand nine hundred seventy one some of the mob leaders wanted out of prison where he was imprisoned had been convicted and other mob leaders didn't back running the teamsters so it was a millio

his grandfather lived all of that prior to fidel castro. they didn't view him with his sons of what a government and its troubles and foibles can do for individuals as far as day-to-day every life. pedro victor garcia went back to cuba after castro takeover. it was at a time that the cuban government, the castro government was just getting started. they came up with a law that said, if you are a renter, your rent is immediately slashed in half. but then after a certain number of years, you will gain ownership of those houses where those apartments. most people are still waiting. >> [inaudible question] >> just this one time. >> the cuban culture has changed quite radically since i came here in the 1950s. politically, there are a lot of changes going on in the community. especially vis-À-vis, the castro regime. you know, you have cuban congresspeople who would take quite extreme positions on the castro regime. if marco rubio where to go when a growing community, maybe looking into the future to play a bigger role in politics -- how are these

fidel castro knew this. he came here in the mid 1950's to raise money for his cause to overthrow the batista dictatorship, and was met with a warm welcome here in tampa. >> there is an interesting senator herecurrent cente that goes back to the issue of his family coming from cuba. >> marker rubio -- marco rubio's biography said that his family escaped under fidel castro. however, his family came here in 1956. most of the people leaving cuba were tried to flee the batista dictatorship coming here because they did not like what was going on in cuba. rubio had covered up that part of his family's history for a long time until reporters discovered it a few months ago. >> this tour of the city? >> i suggest the republicans go to the lot in quarter and look at the social clubs. also, there were lynchings here in the struggle for civil rights. among the people lynched in the early 1900's or anarchists from italy. as i said, we have strong labor traditions here. in the early part of the 20th- century, a strong acti

>>> fidel castro turns 86 today. he president elect for almost 60 years before he handed down power to his younger brother, raul. one of the castro fans have had a change of tune for the government. the famed opera singer is blasting the officials for shutting down his business and putting hundreds out of work. our correspondent has the story. >> reporter: this is like nothing else in cuba. it is theater for the masses. a mix of pop and opera music with a huge cast and budget. and it's a private business. the director is a famous baritone who has performed around the world, and at home for fidel castro. i think that life obliges you to be a revolutionary, he says. we look for ways for our production to reach as many people as possible, but the strong pro government sentiments and connections don't always guarantee success for cuba's new class of entrepreneurs. this is where the street opera performed. it was one of the largest businesses to be launched in cuba after the lifting of some restrictions on private industry

fidel castro's the dean of the school. they got a gulag. i understand the cafeteria has a meal plan. (laughter) so we know what areas of america are not welcome in america. what americans are not worthy of inclusion in this unified romerica. >> ivory tower professors. >> union thugs. >> t moocher class. >> poor people. >> radical environmentalists. >> teachers just like barack obama are against competition. (audience reacts) >> jon: these teachersings believe in the redistribution of information information. wow, i had no idea how hateful and divisive these groups you are describing are. if we could only get rid of teachers, lawyers, unions and poor people we could unite the remaining less than half of this country. (laughter) now, obviously since we're not supposed to go to college and be around these teachers, where can i learn more about the less divisive and angry rhetoric. >> unhinged exposing liberals gone wild. >> how islam and the left sabotage america. >> how the left swift boated america. >> liberal media's attack on christianity.

in a conversation with fidel castro human-rights isn't something that is discussed so we talk about it has basically it's not effective. that it doesn't work. and today what happens in cuba is that when you are found to be hiv-positive you have to follow a six month course to prepare you for life with hiv and then many people become hiv educators sensitivity is a state employee it doesn't matter what to do. but it was -- i came there and the first time i met fidel was in the middle of some kind of tornado and he was talking about how many leaders. how many liters per square meter and so on and he's a man of figure and then after i said i came here to talk about aids and to express my solidarity with people for dead by the floods in cuba yes, he said coming and then he started talking about how many cases in jamaica, how many there and so on and in many ways sometimes he knew this figure is better than i do because this despite the had been a professor of has a hard time remembering these figures was of a drink in my office and i asked. i have jet lag and by the image right do my best a

the only person who has got a lower approval rating is fidel castro. this is not a winning candidate. political advisors would probably say to this person, maybe you should consider another line of work. so who is this deeply flawed mystery candidate? da-dah da-dah: congress since the tea party took the house in 2010, congress has congress's already crummy approval itrating has taken a nose dive. who is the leader of the flawed tea party congress? actually not speaker john boehner. in reality, the de facto leader of the house republican caulk caucus is paul ryan. ryan has been a leader in congress's refusal to compromise with president obama and the democrats. he publically trashed the deficit deal. he -- which of course led us close to the brink of default and, of course, there is his own toxic budget which president reagan's budget advisor david stockman today called an empty conservative sermon and a fairy tale in "the new york times." nonetheless, 98%, 98% of all republicans in congress -- and that's all of these right here except for maybe those l

so i was assigned to meet with fidel castro to explain why u.s. elevision was more to have an exclusive. so we went around a school the next day, barbara with castro and i was until, to talk to students about their experience. and i said at one point i need to speak with you, mr. president. with something we talk about. he said we'll get to. finally, went off to a side room, and i said this is been a terrific experience but i think it's a good interview. i think of a lot of things to say people wanted it but in order for this to happen, it's important a be an exclusive interview. i apologize for raising this but that's really the facts of life. he listened to me and to my delight, to my surprise but delight, he said that's fine, okay. it will be exclusive. we held our exclusive interview, which great experience. diane sawyer is someone that was a true privilege to work with closely for many years. diane has a lot of remarkable traits. she has versatility that is unprecedented. she can handle every sort of story. she's very smart. she writes beautif

tried to overthrow fidel castro in one thousand nine hundred sixty one but the sharp increase in secrecy over the last decade is due to america's expanding counterterrorism programs rather than on classified historical files the power that the national security staff has acquired under president obama is greater than any time. during the cold war period the government indicted only three people for disclosing classified information however the obama administration along. as prosecuted six government officials for leaking information to the press more than all other past the ministrations combine and thomas drake was one of them he was a senior executive of america's largest intelligence agency during the bush administration he blew the whistle on fraud and abuse with regards to the agency's secret surveillance program mr drake was charged under the espionage act much of what's happening now particular my case it sent an extraordinarily chilling message that anybody who i was a senior executive the government had a very high position and say it sends an extraordinarily chilling message th

i was basically assigned to meet with fidel castro why u.s. television it was important to have an exclusive. we went around to school the next day barbara with castro and i was in tow to talk to students about their experience. and i said at one point, you know, i need to speak with you mr. president. we went off to a side room and i said, this has been a terrific experience. i think it's a good interview. i think you have a lot of things. in order to have the effect you want it to have, it's important it be an exclusive interview. i apologized this but it's the facts of life. he listened to me and my delight, i don't know if it was surprise, but delight he said that's fine. okay. it'll be exclusive and we held the exclusive interview chaffs great experience. dianne sawyer which was someone that was a privilege to work with closely for many years. she has lot of remarkable traits. she has a versatility that is unprecedented. she can handle every sort of story. she's very senator and writes beautifully. one of the things i respect most is she i

nobody was talking about fidel castro. this was a group of cuban-americans many of whom where a born in the united states and had a sort of left behind this really intractable and longstanding feud between the nation's. and when you analyze the cuban politics, you know, there's a lot of expectation that that group will eventually sort of rise and be significant in reshaping american policy. marco rubio would have been on the other side of the street on the versai side of the street. he was raised in that political mindset. he has maintained positioner for strict handling of the cuban regime. in other words, not into having more flights down there, tough rhetoric demanding political change on the island. some cuban-americans are tired of that. but not to be underestimated that many of them are still very wedded to this ongoing fight and will be as long as the castro lives. >> he was a senator from florida, and i am wondering what his position is on medicare, medicaid, social security is enunciated the position and whether i

cruz, clarifying what he was asked about this said, i said many times that my father fought with fidel castro in the broader sense, not side- by-side, but on the same side. >> and he did not make that clear early on in the campaign until we wrote about it. it is a problem. again, he was a republican tea party candidate able to fight against the establishment republican candidate with whom he held virtually no differences in terms of conservative politics in texas, and he won. he is a rising star in the party. >> talk about how he has come to be a rising star and the role particularly of campaign finance getting him where he is. >> texas was a model, as many states were. outside big money coming independent groups that want to bankroll candidates they like. in this case, clubs for growth and other but white conservative business groups came in with an awful lot of money to match, in large part, the spending of his opponent. it is a super pac, absolutely. there were others that were helpful. dick armey and his group, freedom works, work for ted cruz. they saw in him someone who, on the business

fidel castro is not a man known for his brevity.ocked in at seven hours and ten minutes. he has a guinness record for the longest speech at u.n., 4 hours 29 minutes. his opinion pieces have often filled whole pages of the state run newspaper. "gramma." lately his pieces have been very short like this one, consisting of just 35 words, not exulting communism or capitalism but praising the power of yoga. he said, "yoga does things with the human body that defy our imagination. there before our eyes is imagery that arrives instantly from enormous distances through the passage to the unknown." deep. the correct answer to our gps challenge question was, c, 114 million. that's about 97% of u.s. households. so if you add that number at the tip of your fingertips, you probably worked this out. thanks all of you for being part of my program this week. i will see you next week. >>> hello, everyone. i'm fredricka whitfield. tropical storm isaac getting stronger as it nears the florida keys. rain and strong wind are already reaching that area an

quality is consumed to discuss mandatory quarantines of hiv-positive people in cuba and this is with fidel castro. >> yes. i went to cuba in the early days for several reasons. one, there was the quarantine. most of the cubans with hiv or former soldiers in the military who were fighting in africa and can get infected with hiv and were long lockdown basically. and in a conversation with castro, human rights isn't something that is discussed, so we talked about it basically that it's not effective. that it doesn't work, and today what's happened in cuba is that when you are found to be hiv-positive can have to follow a six month course i don't know if it is a few months ago in the case to prepare you for the drugs are there and then many people become hiv educators for the state employees it doesn't matter what they do. but the first time i met him it was in the middle of some kind of a tornado so i knew he was talking about how many leaders. how many liters per square meter and then also i said i came here to talk about aids and express my solidarity affected by the floods in cuba. >> and then th

fidel castro he provides cataract surgery throughout latin america. he brings sight to people. thought he does that for a tinny fraction for the investment we make in latin america. he is appreciated and known because he is branded effectively. we're great in branding. they can sell coke and pepsi to people for a half day's wage for a can of coke. and yet we're to the selling democracy as well as we could. we're not selling our values and the things that america has done to help lift the world. rather than if you will, apologize for who we are, and for what we have accomplished, i think we should be drawing on the very best of our skills from the private sector to make sure that we communicate who we are and exercise the soft power influence we could be exercise to draw for people to the kinds of value that will enhance their lives and promote the stability and peace on the planet. >> host: in the book when it comes to writing about something like global warming, what you say is wait a second, look at developing country and look at china in specific. china you say, cannot be tr
