to cuba's government. the two spoke for roughly 30 minutes with castro asking the holy father, what does a pope do? still, castro's conspicuous absence in later years fueled constant rumors about his health. when president obama announced the softening of u.s. sanctions against cuba in december 2014, president raul castro spoke with the american president by telephone, welcoming the announcement. but the man who brought communism to cuba, fidel, made no appearances and had no public comment on the ending of the cold war freeze he'd ushered in more than a half century earlier. though often referred to as a tyrant kal dictator, millions on the impoverished island considered castro a charismatic leader who brought education and medicine to the masses. but to america's cuban exiles he was forever hated, responsible for cuba's economic ruin. in washington, bret behr, fox news. >>> florida's lieutenant governor tweeting, quote, has it finallycome? fidel is dead. this is the beginning of a free and democratic cub

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

i think raul castro could be the egon krentz of cuba. it's like a pin puncturing a balloon, this regime has zero legitimacy, has no democratic legitimacy, is not increasing the standard of living for the people. the last shred that it had was the icon of the cuban revolution, that's gone. so i think the policy of the united states government, which i don't expect for two months to happen at least, is to do absolutely nothing that strengthens that regime and power. no economic benefits, whatever. and all american businesses contemplating engaging in trade or investment in cuba, i would advise you to wait for two months and look at this very carefully. >> who should president obama send to fidel castro's funeral? could you not make the case that the president himself should go, a former head of state, state funeral? he did a deal with the man just a couple of months ago. who will he send, do you think? >> well, i don't know. i understand that perhaps they ruled out the president and the vice president. i find that surprising, given barack

we are in havana, cuba, on the reaction and the plans for castro's funeral. steve? >> so far, the reaction here in havana has been quiet. we have eastbound some makeshift memorials of a small scale but the real ceremony will be tomorrow at 9:00 a.m. a 21 gun salute and at revolution plaza a huge line of people to walk past the picture of fidel castro, monday and tuesday. he was cremated on saturday. his ashes will make the trip across the country. they will be heading east to santiago where the revolution began in 1959a backward path to make their way across the country. fidel castro is again but he leaves his brother behind and in charge. ram is -- raul is 85 and will retire in two years so there could be a generational shift in cuba the next few years. a key question, how will relations go forward with the united states? in the past two yours under the obama administration we have seen a real thawing of relationships and the united states embassy should down for 50 years is back open but we heard grumbling from president-elect donald trump's administration there c

she fled to cuba and was given asylum there in 1984. police leaders urging the president-elect to reverse the shameful white house policy of friendship with a despottic government allowing convicted u.s. fugitives to be harbored and given safe haven. >> do you remember this kid climbing into one world trade center while it was under construction? he broke into another building under construction, a high rise near new york central park. he recorded and posted the whole thing on social media. yeah. doesn't seem like a very good idea. those are your headlines. >> and the first responders are upset because if he gets into trouble, who are they going to call and they are going to put their lives in danger. >>> remember when hillary clinton said this to her supporters. >> donald trump is going to be our president. we owe him an open mind and the chance to lead. >> well, apparently her supporters didn't all listen and are sending death threats to michigan elect tors. one of those is going to join us live coming up next. >>> colin kaepernick bo

many chanting cuba libre, meaning cuba this morning is free. >> very interesting. this hour, nine days of cuba is beginning. this hour. nine days. on the local radio there th

is it naive to say people of cuba would feel any way at all? we have no idea because they go to jail if they express views different from the government. >> you give their secret police too high a grade in terms of their efficiency. there are hundreds, literally hundreds of thousands of people night and day in the streets of havana, even as we speak. you know, far more than the organized outside world, the people of cuba are truly mourning, it seems to me, i'm not there right now, the passing of this figure. now i also think -- i hasten to add i also think the cubans are ready, willing and eager to go from fidel to an embrace of the united states that, you know, cubans love america. >> they move miami tomorrow all 11 million could. >> commercial airlines have started flying there. i think in 10 minutes cuba is totally going to be in the american sphere of influence. >> may i ask you one question though, as a journalist you spent all these many decades, probably close to five as a journalist and the currency in your world and your life is freedo

i was born in cuba. my family decided that i wasn't going to live under a communist dictator, so they wanted to bring me here, and the three of us were supposed to come here on the day that the three of us were supposed to leave, one of castro's soldiers at the plane said, well, the flee three of you are cleared to leave but i'm making a decision today only two of you can go. to deciding which two are going or if any of you are going? obviously my dad decided to stay. my mom and i came. the next time i saw my dad was three years later. the man was a stranger to me. so clearly, you know, that was something that affected my relationship with my father the rest of my life and i don't say that i'm a victim. it's just that the facts are the facts. >> and his facts are wrong about the literacy rate compared to ours, about the health care compared to ours. but he sits there and spouts that out as if he would rather live there. >> and obviously he would never live there because if colin kaepernick were ever to l

cuban deal made by executive order if we do not get the deal we want and the deal that people living in cuba and here deserve including protecting religious and political freedom. all right. i'm honored to have the endorsement of over 200 top admirals and generals and 22 medal of honor recipients. you know, it's really called peace through strength. peace through strike. that's what we are going to have. we hopefully get rid of isis, we are getting rid of isis. but we have to get to rebuild our country. we spent $6 trillion in the middle east. 6trillion and it's in far worse shape by a factor of ten from when we started. 6trillion, we lost lives, the most incredible great people. our new foreign policy will put america first. hillary brought disaster to iraq and syria and libya and she empowered iran, remember, she's got bad judgment and she unleashed isis. came right out of the vacuum. now she wants to start a shooting war in syria in conflict with nuclear armed russia, frankly, it could lead to world war iii and she has no sense, she's got no instinct, podesta said it, hillary and her fail

if cuba is unwilling to make a better deal for the cuban american people the u.s. as a whole i will terminate that deal. >> veterans commit suicide every day. president obama signing a bill to help ensure that every phone call to the va's crisis hot line is answered in a timely manner and by a trained professional. this after a shocking inspector general report revealed that one out of every six calls to the crisis line went unanswered. the report also showing 29 percent of veterans to kill themselves were under va care at the time. >> packers highlights for crying out loud. green bay packers keeping their playoff hopes alive thanks to aaron rogers. >> throwing 218 yards and 2 touchdowns to help the packers snap a 4 game losing streak. >> resulting in a 27-13 win by the philadelphia eagles. looking pretty awful. thank you green bay. >> reports of a shake-up for the nfl. thursday night football is it getting stacked? >> cheryl casone, is any one watching thursday night football? i forget it is on. >> is your favorite team not doing so well because they are playing t

look at cuba. it's very good that we are so robust and so strong but we have to be very careful because we have a very big responsibility and that responsibility, cuba press, venezuelan press, north korean press would love to have the power and would love to have the reach that we have with voters and that responsibility brings -- that power brings great responsibilities. that's my take. jon: kelly, you note ironies in the fact that reporters have changed their tune over time about donald trump, the former candidate, now president elect. >> yes, in the primary, in the gop primary you had liberal bloggers who basically said, you know, donald trump is a moderate and he's a better fit for the presidency than a marco rubio or a ted cruz that are going to take the country in the wrong direction. jonathan at the new york magazine basically wrote a piece on why liberals should embrace donald trump, saying that real threats again are cruz and rubio and that there might be some good that comes within a dona
