sort of the old way we did business with latin america. roosevelt explained they had every right to do that. i was part of what he meant to be a sovereign nation which you could nationalize foreign investment. depending on to compensate to compensate them for the intake cannot give that. the mexican government came up with a formula for compensating the company is of course the oil companies rejected the offer. he went to the mexican supreme court and they said they fear off her and franklin delano roosevelt as air off her. may expect and franklin delano roosevelt to say no we are going to invade. times have changed and unchanged and fdr was not unmindful what was going on in europe but i'm with verizon a national social party, not the party and adventures of japan engage in an imperialistic wars in asia and pacific. it rattled the saber for a while here. the last thing he needed was to make texaco potentially an enemy angry at the united states. but i don't believe that was his only reason for not shaking a big stake in mexico. he believe

the countries of latin america, asia, eastern europe and so forth. and pumping them up to the point where they become seriously vulnerable. i liken this in the book to sort of like, you know, athletes taking steroids. you know, it pumps you up for a while but it undercuts your health in the long run. it's a term i have to say i'm very indebted to ken rogof who succeeded michael mussa. steroids is what inflows of foreign capital i think can often have -- the effect is -- can be quite similar to steroids. it's, obviously, not, you know, intended as a literally analogy but i think it's an illuminating one. so what really struck me again in terms of the importance of all this was this kind of contrast between the theory of how globalization is supposed to work and how it works in practice. i'm sure lots of people in this room are familiar with tom friedman's book "the lexus and the olive tree." in that book he makes the argument that -- and i think by the way there's a heck of a lot that's commendable in that book but one of the arguments that he makes t

bolivia is one of the poorest countries in latin america. earning a living is particularly tough for women. at a local market for day laborers, laundry women wait hatefully -- wait patiently for work. they are about as half as much as men. >> we think it is the man who decides. we have to submit to what the man say. especially women with little education believe that. >> there is a lot of macho thinking. the woman is said to be demands's property. she may be beaten or sex -- the man's property. she may be beaten or sexually abused. >> the men do not treat us well. they missed treat us with physical violence or psychological abuse. -- mistreat us with physical violence or psychological abuse. >> of violence against women is commonplace. the women's shelter deals with several thousand cases every year. this woman is hiding from her husband. the director of the shelter tells us she has suffered a lot up violence. she says her husband beat her repeatedly and threaten to kill her. he also rates their daughter repeatedly over many years. f-- he al

united states has a global role, but when you think even about countries along the pacific rim of latin america, they may connect more to the economies of asia. i was always struck when i would go to something called the summit of the americas which was really about latin america and the caribbean and, you know, we would have these discussions, and hugo chavez would take off, and everybody would sort of close their ears and whatever. [laughter] but then almost a week or two weeks later we would go to the asia pacific economic council, apec. and there it's the pacific rim countries of chile and up the pacific rim all the way to canada and all the way out through japan and china and korea. and the conversation was completely different. it was about global trade, it was about freeing trade, and so, um, i actually always thought that in essence the countries had more in common with their asian counterparts than they had with their latin american counterparts. >> is how they perceive themselves in a stage of development significant there? >> i think it is because if you look at places, um, like chil

of course just feared and you know in latin america because it used to be when the i.m.f. came to town trouble was ahead would be called force a d.c. christine legarde in peru getting ready to talk to countries like brazil it is such a role reversal and so interesting. but what about this notion that you talk about the euro bond as a proposed solution this is something that the german chancellor angela merkel says no way no how no time germany pretty powerful they also have a decent economy relatively speaking oh yeah i mean germany is as core to the euro zone as it gets and they've been very much opposed to euro bonds but then there are ideas being tossed around that they would maybe entertain that under a situation of more fiscal unity moving more toward some kind of a united states of europe where the large economies did have more control over the budgets of the smaller economies and the embattled nation so i think that it remains to be seen whether any of these will actually come to fruition but of course that's one of the main selling points of an i.m.f. bailout for e

. >> let's talk about latin america and the caribbean.o you think it makes sense to focus on latin america and the caribbean as a region in developing u.s. policy given the fact that so many -- the country differs in the stage of development and so many of them there issues of global issues. >> in one sense we want to think about latin america and the caribbean as a region -- i would say of the western hemisphere which is that there is a kind of national affinity for trade policy. we do share some problems of the kind of transnational borders of trying to deal with trafficking and arms and trafficking and drugs until there are reasons to work with the region. i also think since the organization of american states has a democratic charter we should have a view of our hemisphere, versus your neighborhood as being democratic but you make a good point. once you get beyond those big categories you really are talking about countries that are very different in how they interact in the globe. brazil thinks of itself as a regional leader but brazi

you go to latin america and the churches are all full. the evangelical protestant is spreading throughout brazil and central america. catholicism is still full and mexico and in the villages of south america. the mormon church now in its world population is spanish-speaking. it may be that somehow i swallow something of you and i become the brutalist in nature while you have become me. do you think that's possible? >> sure. but also, i mean, it's important to remember that native societies again -- [inaudible] they certainly have the agriculture they practice. we can learn from the. agronomists are studying them. and we talk about the casinos and so forth, it's important to remember that this is actual federal policy. we passed the indian gaming act with the idea these guys would do this. and so it's always amazing to me, you know, i'm in a state that doesn't have any of this, we have this lofty perspective. and i think the whole purpose of this was to give india's money. and here in california all these indians have money. which is not t

in venezuela in mexico throughout latin america which poses a very significant and imminent threat to united states history all those all those catholics in south america they're really going to and even in reality the biggest economic threat for america unrestrained global free trade for multinational corporations wasn't even mentioned and neither was the ongoing financial crisis in europe so it wasn't so much a foreign policy debate in reality it was awarded for a round up of analysis of what happened last night while some of the other big issues of the week about to bring in my panel joining me now is vince collin a senior online editor of the daily caller and eric burns former president he had matters current strategic communications consultant part partner of bullfight strategies guys thanks for joining us thanks for others thanksgiving what do you what do you what are you thankful for prince well i have every reason to be thankful my brother's fresh back from doing route clearance in afghanistan so he had the luxury of finding i.e. these sometimes the hard way a couple times and

is in latin america right yes talking to them asking them for help asking them to get on board latin america certainly not really ever having that role certainly in our lifetime that we can remember i think that important. but i do want to talk about no matter who steps in to help out no matter what happens it appears to me that whatever country is bailed out or helped out is going to have to make some major changes changes that could really affect their economies their lifestyles we saw in greece these austerity measures being imposed what will the results of major austerity measures in places like italy what will happen well i mean obviously i'm not a fortune teller but if greece is any indication we've seen yet. i mean it hurts and cripples average people i think one woman put it so well in an interview she said that we have a london prices on you know far far below greek salaries i think but she said bulgarian salaries so you know essentially you just see a total change in the quality of life for people you see as a result protests on the streets riots on the streets because peopl

you go to the churches of europe and they are empty and in latin america they are full. the evangelical protestant -- throughout brazil and central america, still full in mexico and south america. mormon church and the population is spanish-speaking. it may be that somehow are swallowed something and became the brittle list in nature. do you think that is possible? >> or but it is important to remember native societies again -- [talking over each other] >> there are certainly things we can learn. let me talk about the casinos and so forth. it is important to remember this is excellent federal policy. we passed the indian gaming act -- [talking over each other] >> always amazing to me, i am a state that doesn't have this. we have lofty perspective. and i think the whole purpose of this was to give indians money and in california all these indians have money and -- which is not taken as a success. [inaudible] >> i am curious what you think about 1421. the chinese, seven years before columbus. >> this is a book i should probably explain, there is an amazing spanish -- not s

more so than that, we broadcast news about latin america and the rest of the world. i think it is important for our audience to understand there are countries that are sovereign and free, democratic, and there is a future. we want to insert our audience into the economic world again. the relationship between cuba and the united states, it is a no-brainer. there are 90 miles away, but we also want them to know what is going on in the rest of the world. we think it is something important. it is a global village now, right? >> what percentage of it is cuban news in the broadcast? >> that is the priority, as much as we can get. >> how do you get it? >> we have had relationships with people inside the island report to was different incidents -- report to us at different incidents that are going on. it is almost like a citizens- based news gathering. >> but there have been incidents where the cuban government has planted wild stories with radio and television marti, which are then reported as news which were not true. the gao report from two years ago gave mentioned of som

it's very important that we do that, but more than that, we also broadcast news from latin america andhe rest of the world because it's important for our audience to understand there are countries that are sovereign and free that can -- and democratic -- and there's a future, you know, we want to insert the audience into the economic world again, you know? you know, the relationship with cuba and the united states, once there's a democracy, there's a no-brainer; right? they are 90 miles away, but we also want to inform them of what's going on in the rest of the world because i think, you know, we think it's something important. i mean, it's a global village now; right? it's not about one country or the other. >> guest: what would you say the percentage of cuba news is? >> guest: that the priority. as much as we can get. >> guest: how do you get it? >> guest: through -- because i'm here, you know, for a long time, we've had relationships with people inside the island that report to us different incidents that are going on. >> guest: right. >> guest: more people are calling in and tellin

course obviously the united states, but when you think even about countries along the pacific rim, latin america, they may connect more to the economies of asia. i was always struck when i would go to something called the summit of the americas, which was relieved of latin america and the caribbean. we would have these discussions. hugo chavez would take off and everyone would sort of close their ears and whatever. but then almost a week or two weeks later we would go to the asia-pacific economic council. there, the pacific rim countries of chile all the way to canada and all the way out through japan and china and korea, and the conversation was completely different. it was a but global trade, freeing trade, and so i actually always felt the countries had more in common with their asian counterparts in the head with their latin american counterparts. how they perceive themselves. i think it is. because if you look at places like chile, quite developed in many ways, colombia is getting there in terms of development, countries like brazil. on the one hand, leading the global call one of the leade

christine legarde in latin america this week not doing what the i.m.f. usually does and latin america which is you know imposing austerity measures now this time she's asking countries like brazil for example for help. i'm wondering if you i mean this is seems to me like a total role reversal but do you think this is one of the sat is easy said the i.m.f. doesn't have the money probably doesn't is this what's going on here well i think actually it is soon to be time that does seem to be you know behind the scenes trying to get the brics to invest in europe but i think it's a scandal and the reason is that fundamentally. you know the bric countries are many much poorer than european countries sure on the surface they seem broke but the problem is not enough money in europe the problem is a bad structure the problem is the fact that countries don't have control over their own currencies the problem is that the e.c.b. doesn't perform as much of a role as it could so it's actually kind of outrageous that they get these poor countries bailing out these richer

miami, we also have a reporter in washington, new york, we are stringers in different parts of latin america or europe where the content of those cups we might -- those countries we might deem relevant to our audience. >> host: how do you get radio and tv marti broadcast into cuba? what method? >> guest: radio, we use am. we have a retransmission station in marathon -- >> host: mare marathon, fg. >> guest: thank you. tv, we use a direct t satellite -- directv satellite, we have the airplane, and we're also using nontraditional methods to get our tv content into the island which have been very successful in the last month or month and a half. >> host: such as? >> guest: flash drives and dvds. >> host: really? >> guest: it's been fabulous. our research, we did a lot of research. we've done 23 focus groups since i've been at the martis. i've been there a year and a week. and what we found out is that people in cuba really look for -- they want news. they definitely want news. and when they think news, it's relevant to the focus groups, they mention the martis. they are the a source of reliable

when you think even about countries along the pacific rim of latin america, they may connect more to the economies of asia. i was always struck when i would go do something called the summit of the americans which is really about latin american and caribbean and we would have these sessions in hugo chavez for takeoff and everybody would close their ears and whatever. but then, almost a week or two weeks later we would go to the asia-pacific economic council, aipac and their it's the pacific rim countries of chile, and up the pacific rim all the way to canada and all the way through japan and china and korea and the conversation was completely different. it was about global trade. it was about free trade so i actually always thought those countries have more in common with their asian counterparts than their latin american counterparts. >> it's how they receive the stage of development. >> i think it is because if you look at places like chile, not quite developed in many ways, columbia getting there in terms of development, a country like brazil is interesting because on the one hand
