from the kremlin, nikita khrushchev said the soviet union is extending a helping hand to the people of in the case of necessity, he threatened, soviet artillery men can support the cuban people with rocket fire. meeting in san jose, costa rica, the foreign ministers of the american republics declared such extra continental intervention endangered the security of this hemisphere. in response, castro's foreign minister walked out. in havana, and a rambling monologues which is now famous fidel castro attacked the organization of american states and denied the soviet union or communist china had interventionist intentions. moreover, said castro, cuba would establish relations with the chinese people's republic. as castro speaks, no amount of bluster can disguise the people's unrest. people's brigades are rapidly formed. children are encouraged to inform against their parents. anyone protesting work criticizing is a counterrevolutionary and as such can be sentenced to the wall. a brazilian journalist revisited cuba during this time. >> i return to cuba in march of 1960 and things had still

nikita khrushchev revealed stalinism, the europeans signed up for stalinism, insisted the soviet union was perfect, and obama is the same kind of guy in our american left now, instead of stalin instead of stalinism and the soviet union, the new utopia appears to be islam, and you dare not think anything wrong about it you must not say anything wrong about it you must cover up all its pagrams and massacres and camps. in that sense he's classic. lou: you must at all costs protect the obama narrative that al qaeda is on the run. and all of this, of course, are pieces of a part that is a false narrative. >> let's be fair. al qaeda is on the run, they're running toward us not away from us. it used to be said via the bourbon kings of the new sicilys, they never learned anything or forgot anything. that encapsulates king barack. it is amazing. lou: i would only quibble he's obviously forgotten much for example, much of american history. >> he never knew it. he never knew american history. it was taken out of our schools. you can give him an american history quiz we give to ninth graders and h
