there's a question whether fidel castro ordered it. lyndon johnson said something like, castro knew that kenny wanted to kill him so he went and killed kennedy. so there was a lot of speculation that castro may have ordered this himself. castro denies it vehemently. we do know that oswald visited the cuban embassy in mexico city shortly before the assassination. and perhaps got some sort of signal or communication there. but what we know for sure is that oswald, he was in the soviet union when the bay of pigs happened. and was infuriated by it. and thought he was doing fidel castro a favor by going after john kennedy. so, indirectly, yes, i do think the bay of pigs definitely leads to the assassination of kennedy. it may have had a more direct link, but that's very difficult, maybe impossible, to prove. over here, please. i'll come to you in a second. yes. >> what's confusing to me is if after the first day of the invasion it became very clear that the u.s. was behind it, and then if it was known without the secondary air strikes on th
