kennedy announced a block aade cuba, we were going to keep any soviet ships from going into cuba. that put us on a hair trigger as to whether or not we were going to have a nuclear confrontation, and at the last minute with soviet ships steaming towards the u.s. blockade, kruschev who was head of the soviet union announced the ship should turn around. the dean loss wross who was sec of the united states then said we went eye to eye and the other guy blinked. that was in 1962, and castro remained in power until he became quite sick and old in the last few years and has been in the hospital for the last few years. but his younger brother raoul has taken over and runs a communist dictatorship there to this day. >> we spoke a little earlier that raoul and fidel were fairly close in age, so the current president of cuba is getting up there in his years as well. and we were just kind of contrasting and discussing the differences, if any, of how they have been running cuba since. there certainly has been new changes with president barack obama helping to ease some of the tensions. can yo

different cuba. again he's all about america first. american workers, american interest, american allies and certainly americans and in that regard, he wants to make sure that when the united states of america when he's president engages in any type of diplomatic relations or trade agreements for that matter and the like that we as america are being protected and are getting something in return. >> i want to turn to the personnel this week. you weighed in into the cabinet selection process with tweets concerning governor mitt romney saying you're receiving a deluge of social media and private communications about romney. some trump loyalists warn against him as secretary of state adding later that being loyal was an important quality for the job. why did you weigh in? on governor romney? >> i weigh in privately first of all, let me make clear that there's one person who will select his cabinet and it's president-elect donald trump. whatever he decides will have my full support and respect and he know

the solution of what could happen in cuba towards democracy is with the cubans in cuba, not here. when did you leave the country? he came in a boatlift, and it was a controversial boatlift, he not only allowed people to come here, but he emptied the insane asylums to come here and that became a problem here. that has been revolved. how are you feeling right now? it's the day that is more happy of my life. it's the happiest day you have had in your life? he doesn't think there's going to be a day as happy for him as there is right now. >> reporter: wait, wait, wait. what he's talking about now is the recent election of donald trump, and he's hoping donald trump will cut out all of the benefits, as he calls them, between the united states and cuba. thank you very much. what he's talking about is the sense of not only renewed diplomatic relations but the fact there are regular commercial flights to cuba, and many in the cuban community here feel these increased relations mean more money to the communist government in cuba and that money goes to support them. it has been a steady para

/cuba relations evol d evolved? >> they had been improvements and then easier to travel and then under a republican administration it has been tougher and the question going forward is what happens now. the law that has the embargo in place says the castros must be out of power, not fidel but fidel and raul castro must be out of power, and raul says he will step down in 2018, and there are some in congress saying let's be much more aggressive right now, and there were rumors there were going to be even more deals done and more executive orders coming and at the same time, president-elect trump, when you look at who he put on his transition team when it comes to cuba, he has chosen hard liners, and you can see them saying why should we change anything now when raul castro says he will step down in 2018, and let's wait and see what happens, because, remember this, in the wake of president obama's visit they became much more regressive in their policy, and they started putting out statements, raul castro started saying

the people in cuba love us, and we love the people of cuba. and this is a perfect time to forget what happened 60 years ago and join with the rest of the hemisphere and welcome cuba into the conference of democracies that we have here. >> you did mention this past march you travelled to cuba with president obama. looking forward, what do you expect from president-elect trump in terms of cuban policy. >> unfortunately, donald doesn't have any thoughts of his own that are helpful. the amount of exports that we would have if we move all of the embargoes, the fact that we would have a hospitality people investing in hotels, as europeans are. that's a great opportunity to improve the quality of life for the cuban people as well as for american exporters. so, i hope someone talks with him beyond little havana older people and it's a great opportunity for america to solidify the democracies we have in this hemisphere. >> we've had quite a variety of opinions on the show today. congressman charles rangel, thank you for calling in today. >> have a grea

he's not interested in opening up cuba, bringing cuba into the market. he wants to continue the ideas and the programs of the revolution on and on. he wants a leadership that will maintain the same control as he has maintained. so, he is not in there to reverse the measures that the fidel castro and he introduced in the past 50 years. as a matter of fact, in the next year, we're going to see a great homage to the ideas of fidel castro. you will see children in school repeating the ideas of fidel. the programs of fidel. so, we're going to have a glorification of the individual as part of the efforts to maintain this kind of revolution. >> well, what's your take? do you anticipate a change to these normalization efforts once president-elect donald trump takes office? i've heard different opinions today. >> well, i expect donald trump to pause on any unilateral concessions toward the cuban government. i think he will try or he will stop the wet food/dry food policy that allows cubans to arrive in the u.s. to remain there. reach american soil or send them ba

companies in cuba. in 1961, president kennedy ordered 1,350 cia trained fighters to invade cuba at the bay of pigs. the attempted invasion was a disaster. two generations of cuban-americans blamed democrat john kennedy and voted republican. a year later, castro invited the soviet union to base nuclear weapons on cuban soil. the cuban missile crisis. >> missiles in cuba add to an already clear and present danger. >> by the time he was 35, two u.s. presidents had tried to kill him. in all, castro faced off against 11 u.s. presidents, south florida policy became foreign policy. american presidents learned cuba policy could become a domestic political problem. in 1980, the mario boat lift became a problem for carter when it turned out that some of the 125,000 cubans that allowed to emigrate to the united states had been released are from cuban jails and mental health facilities. >> castro has taken hardened criminals out of prison. >> a governor in arkansas tried to be helpful to his colleague in the white

what is required for cuba is freedom. let's keep in mind that the actors for freedom are the heros in every town and village. the pro-democracy activists, they deserve our attention and our solidarity. >> we will take a look at that and see what we can do with that. thank you very much. >> interview him. thank you. >> appreciate that. >>> we will get to more politics. new reaction from bernie sanders on who should be the democrats next leader. they are seeking to oust nancy pelosi on the heels of the party's election loss. >> do you think it's time to replace nancy pelosi? >> i will leave that to the -- i was in the house for 16 years. i'm not in the house right now. i will leave that to the members of the house. nancy a friend of mine. i think she has done a very good job. i think that is an issue of the people of the house will have to decide. >> one of the president-elect's top advise sers is ramping up h criticism of jill stein's election recount effort. >> this recount by jill stein and now the hillary people is just

the patron saint of cuba. and the cuban story is tragic, defined by the separation of families, people having to leave everything behind, that when they come to the united states, they really find comfort in churches like the one behind me. the largest of its kind outside the island. and in fact we were here last night when archbishop thomas lenski led a special service this morning. when i asked him what is the role of the church, now that castro has passed, this is what he told me. >> we're trying to rebuild a cuba in which all cubans will feel at home or can be at home and that -- and that nation and for that cubans have to begin to talk to each other and to be able to disagree and that's a long and difficult process, especially because there is -- there have been some historic hurts. and so it is so difficult that on our own it is probably impossible, but with god's help, the impossible becomes possible. >> you got to remember, alex, the cuban community is a very catholic, but that religious identity, if y

they pled cuba as political exiles. there's tendency when world leaders die to kind of misplace this -- he was a ttyrant. he was a killer and a liar. i never realized how fortunate i was to be born in this country until i did a story that took me to the florida straits and i was embedded with the coast guard. i got to see firsthand what it looked like on these boats. dozens of families, babies in diapers and best choice these families had was to put their children on a boat in the middle of the night not knowing what would happen than to live in cuba. cuba at a distance may look beautiful and mysterious but up close it is cracked. it is faded and the people are hungry and that should be the legacy of fidel castro. >> that is tom reacting on saturday to the death of fidel castro which has polarized leaders here. donald trump's initial reaction was a forward tweet. fidel castro is dead! later issued a statement saying in part fidel castro's legacy is one of firing squads, death, unimaginable suffering, poverty and denial

investment in cuba. what may be a little bit in contention is the executive orders on travel, on cultural exchanges, on many human rights exchanges that i think -- the obama administration has done, which i think are positive. the exchange of ambassadors, it could be that trump does not submit an american ambassador. we have somebody that obama has submitted. my hope is that he kind of lets things lie a little bit. i think raul was more progressive than fidel. and now that raul is a bit unshackled by fidel, who was probably saying to him, you can't liberalize, you can't change, that he will move in the direction of letting people be freer, or having fair elections. this is obviously in contention what i just said. but i sense something about raul that says he is going to modernize the country and that his brother was kind of holding him back. >> okay. very quickly, your take on nikki haley, trump's pick for your old position there as the u.s. ambassador to the u.n. >> well, on the good side, she's a gove

trump is sending a clear signal that the future relationship with cuba is unknown. we do know the president-elect has held dozens of diplomatic calls with foreign leaders but doing so without guidance from the state department or u.s. intelligence officials. trump has attended only two intelligence briefings in the two weeks since election day. vice president-elect pence has received briefings nearly every day. asked about the report yesterday, trump's campaign manager kellyanne conway would not discuss how many briefings he's had but said this. >> so he is receiving classified intelligence briefings and the president-elect is also receiving information through his personal and on the phone meetings with over what's now 41 world leaders. >> joining me now, chris murphy, member of the senate foreign relations committee. let me talk with you about the topic of cuba in the wake of fidel castro's death, what's your reaction to that sort of what seemed to be a warning shot from the president-elect? >> well, in general what pet trifis me is we're about to transcend into a
