when fidel castro came into office he had a massive literacy program.fidel castro was an authoritarian who murdered his own citizens, but have you heard about his literacy program? that's bernie sanders on "60 minutes" singing the praises of fidel castro who used the power of murder to run cuba. bernie sanders has a shot of becoming president of the united states. but between the three major network morning shows, these comments from bernie got virtually no attention. a whopping of 74 seconds of air time between the three most watched programs in the country. great to see, i know. the clearly the media is trying to bury bernie sanders' hard core views. >> to take a fundamental and turn it into a socialist slogan for fidel castro. they are hardly covering it even now because they want to stop trump. they don't want to cover too much. this is a guy as you said, murdered people, destroyed lives. we are supposed to not cover this? david: he also murder his friends. people who helped him get into that position. it's en route mored that che guevara was sent d

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 afr to spread is dangerous philosophy and consolidate power after 4 years of looking on in horror as drum 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 his rival mike bloomberg was quick to try and capitalize on the divisive comments opposed to this series of satirical tweets but the hashtag burning on death blunt the mansion and leave the month senator lavishing praise the number of tyrants and perceived strong men however it later deleted them off the face in criticism of my c

one has been discussing what bernie has been talking about as far as fidel castro. i need to make a point about this. i am not a bernie supporter but this has stuck in my craw. p before castro was a man by the named of bat utista. he was a united states puppet and was placed in cuba to do the work for the united states government. rose up andople decided to oust him and install fidel castro. as far as unconcerned, that is their business. if that is what they wanted and that is what they got, then so be it. as far as the cuban exiles, maybe they left because they ausista.d b i don't know how latinos can support a man who starts his election campaign by saying, mexicans are rapists and drug dealers, right from the get-go. i don't understand that, because i don't truly believe he was just speaking about mexicans. i believe it was a blanket statement for all latinos. anyone understand how would want to support a man who starts his campaign with that kind of statement. host: ok, got it. guest: the latino vote is diverse in its support for republicans and democrats, and a

i have never heard him say fidel castro makes him sick. in fact he said jfk fighting against communism, that made him want to puke. we know exactly who bernie sanders is. his views have not changed. the real problem is democrats across that debate stage and in their party are letting it in and they have gone way far to the left. that is why he is their front-runner because he is the most authentic socialist. he did in fact honeymoon in the soviet union. liz: by the way, gang, show the viewer bernie's tax hikes on the poor. he wants to tax those at 29,000 one dollar. 29,000 and a buck you will get hit with that. he want as more powerful irs. we'll show the next full screen, what bernie wants giving more power to the irs. i want to stay on this. cuban expats who talked about bernie talking about literacy in cuba. it was indoctrination. it was not about a literacy program. it was about communist indoctrination. if bernie were about denmark socialism he was talking about now, he would talk about denmark socialism the last 50 years instead of d

>> i don't wish that he would be talking about fidel castro at all. i think we have enough important issues over here to deal with than to be referencing somebody that we as a country do not support. >> it gets to a bigger question picture here, does it not, that part of his identity is that he is not a run of the mill democrat, he calls himself a democratic socialist and he has a history of traveling to these countries and dealing with folks who espouse frankly a fundamentally different system that has been the mainstream here before. and i wonder if by doing things like this, one calling himself a democratic socialist, but praising really a socialist dictator in cuba here who, yeah, has a literacy problem, but also throws people into prison. how is he appealing to the american people by going down that path? >> i don't know that i would categorize that as him praising him as it has been stated before it is funny that everybody's now up in arms about this when the same thing has been said in previous administrations. and all of a sudden now that he's

when fidel castro came into office, you know what he did? he had a massive literacy program? is that a bad thing even though castro did it? >> florida democrats say yes, with donna shalala firing back, i'm hoping in the future, senator sanders will take time to speak to some of my constituents before he decides to sing the praises of a murderous tyrant like fidel castro. south carolina voters will weigh in first on saturday, followed by super tuesday. even some biden supporters are now unsure who is the strongest democrat to challenge trump. >> you think that vice president biden is the strongest democrat to beat president trump? >> i think it's a toss-up. i believe joe biden is the one to do it, me personally. i think that bernie sanders may have what it takes, but i think that joe biden has that history. he has that -- i believe that if he's the candidate chosen, that everyone will get behind him. >> now, one thing is clear when you talk to so many voters here. there is an age breakdown. older voters are still supporting the former vice president. some younger voters said, l

take time to speak to some constituents in florida before you sing the praises of fidel castro. he got people reading, castro got people reading in cuba, you wonder if bernie lost florida? weren't there other ways to literacy in cuba than turning if it into aiguille large. large -- gulag. >> these people fled castro's regime. they know the truth of what a communist dictatorship actually looks like. when bernie sanders goes out and defends this because they have a good literacy program, these people know better. they have been there. it is really defenseless. liz: to your point, bernie sanders already refused to recognize venezuela's opposition interim president juan guaido who stands for freedom and bernie refuses to condemn venezuela's communist dictator maduro for his atrocities. watch this. >> do you consider juan guaido the legitimate president of venezuela? >> no. i think what has to happen right now, i think there are serious questions about the recent election. there are many people who feel it was a fraudulent election. >> why have you stopped short of calling maduro of

but the fidel castro thing, he has constantly said i'm not interested in even meeting fidel castro as many senators have. but he has gone down and talked about the bad things, the terrible things. we had a free press reporter, our local paper, follow him down and write about some of the things that he said. >> so, the poll tonight -- look, this is the state joe biden was supposed to win handedly. he's called it his final wall. this is a crucial week for joe biden. he's got to win. but now the poll, latest poll that we have has bernie sanders in a statistical tie with joe biden. so, he's behind five points but that's the margin of error in this poll so we call it a statistical tie. 27 to 23. do you think bernie could win south carolina? >> well, that's what we're working towards. it's an uphill climb, but we are hopeful he will win. we've had people out, so many volunteers going around the state and knocking on doors and phone calling. and i think the issues that bernie talks about, his stance on veterans issues, his support for the military in terms of the soldiers, and you know, that

is that a bad thing even though fidel castro did it?porter: party members distancing themselves from sanders' comments. >> i thought when i heard that i shivered. that reinforced the fear that south carolinians have about his so-called democratic socialism. i think that was an unforced error. >> reporter: meanwhile, this morning a key endorsement for former south bend mayor pete buttigieg.

more attacks from his rivals for his earlier remarks defending literature literacy programs in fidel castro's cuba he again stressed that he opposed authoritarianism all over the world noting also that his views on cuba were the same as barack obama as the self-styled socialist words were initially made in a c.b.s. interview and his opponents were quick to pounce. 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 hawki

even though fidel castro did it?reporter: the comments triggering an avalanche of criticism, including from south carolina's most powerful democrat, congressman jim clyburn, who spoke with abc's byron pitts. >> what did you make of sanders comment on sunday about the virtues of castro's communist cuba? >> i thought, when i heard that, i shivered. that reinforced the fear that south carolinians have about his so-called democratic socialism. i think that was an unforced error. >> reporter: sanders also on the defensive about the cost of his sweeping plans, including medicare for all and free college tuition. >> do you have a price tag for all of these things? >> no, i don't. we try to -- no, you mentioned making public colleges and universities tuition free and canceling all student debt, that's correct. that's what i want to do. we pay for that through a modest tax on wall street speculation. >> but you say you don't know what the total price is, but you know how it's going to be paid for. how do you know it's going t

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 murderous dictator as was castro spineless democratic stablish man shows their true colors it's like a litmus test every time you can say one positive word about cuba or the 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 perimeter is as we have more and more debates within the democratic party coming out of the getting we can all get literacy is a bad thing literacy programs that's probably we could all agree on that

fidel castro put my father-in-law in prison, still a decade of his life. ell you with the literacy program is under castro's cuba. it's learning how to say, "don't shoot me," because that's what they did to thousands and thousands of people. that's what they continue to do. they stole every one of the piece of property my father-in-law owned. this is what socialism leads to. it leads to undermining the individual human rights which we cherish in america. we should never take even just one half step towards disgusting regimes. >> harris: i'm going to give matt last round that. gentlemen, thank you. he had breaking news at a lot to cover this hour. we appreciate your time. thank you. you details now on that intelligence briefing to lawmakers on russian meddling in the 2020 election. why at least one official is now saying that report may have been overstated. there is some fallout to that, next. ♪ va mortgage rates are near 50 year lows. my team's working overtime to make sure every veteran can refinance now to save $2000 every year tthe bad news? ouyour pati

even though fidel castro did it? >> florida democrats, some florida democrats have been jumping all over him for this. how big of a problem do you think this is? >> well, i was born and raised in miami, i know a lot of these stories firsthand. there is nothing that makes up for the fact that fidel castro was a murderous tyrant who used authoritarianism, who used murder, who used threats to destroy his country. and kill some of his own people. it is an unfortunate comment and i hope that as we move forward, senator sanders would clarify that. >> good it see you. thank you for being here. >> you too. thank you for having me. >> thank you so much. >>> we are also following some breaking news, a big drop in the dow this hour. it is down now more than 800 points on continued fears about the coronavirus and the real impact that it is and could be having on businesses around the world. today's losses could effectively wipe out the gains made so far in 2020. but a long trading day still ahead. let's get to julia chatterley a

the sandinistans, or fidel castro? >> this is a close race.tter how many times people say that sanders is the front-runner. things are not decided and he's not in a position he can afford to lose support, lose voters especially in states like south carolina where the democratic electorate is more socially conservative on some issues than perhaps new hampshire and other places that the senator has experienced some success. so while this certainly will be favorable to his base and people who be already supporting him, he's in a position where he really does need to win over democrats who are more conservative and more moderate than he is and this, perhaps is just not the best way to do that. he certainly could use this time differently to focus on issues that people who are looking at biden and looking at buttigieg value, and praising issues like regimes that have caused so much harm to people regardless of whatever good they may have done. in helping somebody already having a difficult time in medicare for all. >> and "washington post" reports

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? >> of course it doesn't. he was a dictator and a firing squad, he murdered his own people. he jailed political prisoners. at some of the education he provided was indoctrination in the communist regime and all of that needs to be condemned unequivocally. the point though is that, just embargo in cuba didn't work in president obama as you know had an embassy there to ease the sanctions. bernie sanders would go back to obama's policies on cuba. >> dana: if there might be some pushback on the democratic party's on that. as a first south american immigrant, i find senator bernie sanders comments on castro's cuba absolutely unacceptable. and donn

back to assange, though, sean, because i think i am the only person here who actually interviewed fidel castro. back in the '70s, i was a young reporter -- >> sean: geraldo, you are aging yourself. >> [laughs] and i have a kinder view of castro than most people do. >> sean: oh! >> let me make my point. >> sean: he murdered people. >> my point is this. my point is this. i think julian assange is a secret stealing punk, anti-american. to>> sean: say that. let me ask a question. many intel agencies agree with you, but that's not the point. let's say he did get it from russia. henry paid for her russian lies. >> yeah, she did, and the odd part, sean, is there is a document of record, a state department representative from the obama administration took notes on the meeting with christopher steele. christopher steele said, said, one of his sources was a high level russian intelligence official -- >> sean: the stone case needs to be overturned. hillary needs to be held accountable before you start going after julian assange. you know, forgetting -- >> cut the crap with that. the communist manifesto.

even though fidel castro did it? >> reporter: the democrats have another debate this week in south carolina on saturday with a new poll showing former vice president joe biden is clinging to a lead but sanders is creeping up. we are still just in the early stages. >> although senator sanders is doing quite well, he still only has 2% of the delegates needed for the nomination. >> reporter: that is where super tuesday comes into play, where about one third of the delegates are up for grabs. back to you guys. >>> president trump and first lady melania trump are in india for the two day visit and the president headlined a rally this morning with indian prime minister, narendra modi, standing with the president for the national anthem. the president announced the u.s. would sell military equipment to india. >> i am pleased to announce that tomorrow, our representatives will sign deals to sell over $3 billion in the absolute finest state of military helicopters and other equipment to the indian armed forces. >> trade talks

fidel castro was a terrible leader. that is how many died at the hands of fidel castro. en bernie sanders is he's a democratic socialist and not a communist, he is cozying up to people like this. >> democrat saying, this was a comment made. >> obama defended -- in venezuela. >> a discussion about castro. a lot of democrats condemned comments bernie sanders made and obama went on to criticize castro. >> you also had biden say hosni mubarak should not step down in egypt. elizabeth warren, defending bernie and alleging he was more of a progressive, bloomberg did return to the debate stage. did he do enough to redo himself. >> i have the experience and resources and record. putin thinks donald trump should be president of the united states, helps you get elected. 21% of people who spent $100 million. >> some of his jokes fell flat in terms of timing. >> he should probably stay out of comedy. bloomberg did a better job. the comment made by elizabeth warren, talking about an incident where a female employee made a comment about when she was pregnant and looked at bloomberg and

this is about some of the things that sanders has said about fidel castro and cuba. >> as a democrat i don't want to be explaining why our nominee is encouraging people to look on the bright side of the castro regime when we're going into the election of our lives. of course literacy is a good thing but why are we spotlighting the literacy programs of a brutal dictator instead of being unambiguous in our condemnation of how he treated his own people. >> this is how bernie sanders has been responding to it, how he responded to this notion in the cnn town hall last night. >> when fidel castro first came to power, which was, when, '59? does that sound right? >> '59-'60. >> do you know what he did, he initiated a major literacy program. there were a lot of folks in cuba at that point who were illiterate and he formed a literacy brigade. he went out and helped people to learn how to read and write. do you know what, i think teaching people to read and write is a good thing. >> so the truth is the truth, chris stall, is how bernie sanders is handling this how would you respond to this if yo
