"Face the Nation" is America's premier Sunday morning public affairs program. The broadcast is one of the longest-running news programs in the history of television, having debuted November 7, 1954 on CBS. Every Sunday, "Face the Nation" moderator and CBS News senior foreign affairs correspondent Margaret Brennan welcomes leaders, newsmakers, and experts to a lively round table discussion of current events and the latest news.
Very interesting that the people who today call Cuba a dictatorship never refer to the Batista regime as a dictatorship.
yes at least at the time they called it one in the american press
Um yes they did
So? Doesnt change that castro was a dictator
oh no no no no no....it was also a dictatorship. But this one is even worst.
Most people worldwide know all too well that BOTH regimes were full on brutal dictatorships that shouldve never taken place
This interview was a couple of years before the bay of pigs invasion, and the missile crisis, when Fidel and the new Cuban regime was waiting for a sign of respect and of support from the US political establishment, and it never happened. The rest is history.
Ike wouldn't meet with him in NYC.
@@robertrichard6107 At that time Castro did not have an official title. He was just the leader of the Cuban Revolution. The President did not have to meet him.
What sign of respect? Should the President go to meet a man that at that time did not have any official title in the government of his country?
@@antoniofreire8471 i am pretty sure „the guy that overthrew a dictator“ is enough „title“ for someone to be important enough to meet a president. Of course the president would rather like Batista then actual democracy but castro learned that over the years.
History established a Communist dictatorship that today has plunged the People of Cuba into misery and repression. Anyone who tries to get out of the Single Line of Thought is considered an ex-Cuban, stateless, loses his job, his life, all possibility of overcoming himself and is persecuted and harassed by the only Communist Party, which is the one who directs the destinies of the nation ignoring his people.
0:29 I love how that guy walks casually among technicians and journalists with his rifle on the back like he's still in the mountains or something.
@Fiddle Sticks I was not referring to Fidel Castro though.
@Fiddle Sticks You mean he was a ruthless dictator.
@Fiddle Sticks Tell that to the families of the many Cuban campesinos he and Guevara executed after show trials. Here is a link to a few: ruclips.net/video/ogKBqxnaWhU/видео.html
@Fiddle Sticks I have know far too many Cubans who escaped from Castro's open-air prison to consider him anything other than a brutal left-wing tyrant. They were well-educated Cubans .. nearly all were professionals (accountants, attorneys, doctors, engineers, businessmen). Others were farmers and shop owners who did not embrace Castro's love of Marx, Lenin, and government under the boot of Big Brother.
They were imprisoned under harsh conditions, many sent to labor in cane fields and on prison farms to atone for crimes against the people ... crímenes contra la gente. Several lost family members to summary executions after show trials, and all who arrived in the US, came with only the clothes they were wearing. They suffered much the same fate as Cambodians who lived through the brutal regime of Pol Pot.
I find all the talk of Castro's glorious revolution to be hallow. He used the Cuban people for his own good, and in the end, he died a very wealthy man ... one of the world's wealthiest dictators according to Forbes Magazine. So pardon me if I tell you point blank that I think you are full of crap.
Buenas noches
funny to see huh? i was stunned to see 2 young women soldiers come out of a drug store in israel comparing the nail polish colors they just bought while walking w their rifles over their shoulders like we would carry our purses.😀
"What they needed was an example, and we gave them an example"
An example of how to starve your people?
Nobody is starving in Cuba
@@arthurraleigh5812 How do you know, have you been in Cuba and see how the Cuban People ( Not the Government) lives ?
@@captainnemo3549 Of course I have been there, or I wouldn't have commented. No homelessness either. It ain't a fancy life, with cars, a big house with a white fence in the suburbs, with an oversized tv and expensive furniture. But they have time to visit with grandma, have free and excellent health care, very cheap medicine, free higher education, free and very cheap food, and an apartment to live. It ain't paradise, but neither is the US. At least there they have good music :)
@@arthurraleigh5812 lol u rly shut him down man didnt have the balls to reply
at 22:27 the amount of skill it takes to read the room when your first language is not english wow just wow. Let me explain the white reporters started to laugh a little, Castro then responded with offensive language and action/body language. He read the situation like that, so quickly, so correctly. As a trilingual that is so impressive.
Fidel Castro lasted so long in power, and was able to enslave 11 million people, not for pleasure.
It must be recognized that he was very intelligent and "sweetened" the listeners. But... the most important thing is that he was a vile ambitious, liar, false and manipulative who knew how to suck the wealth out of a country as prosperous as Cuba was before falling into his aberrant hands.
In addition, he knew how to indoctrinate and enslave 11 million people.
Also, he knew how to expand around the world: from his perverse mind came the guerrillas of so many Latin American countries; He even formed the Black Panthers in the USA (Seek information, if you want; but, let it be NOTHING from the official Cuban government)
He was also paranoid
This is what journalism used to be like!!!!!!!
No this is what the media is like now
@@VivaSaludableconMarla lmao.qe he activists now,not journalist's
I was surprised to learn that Castro carried out this visit to the US in 1959. I thought that the revolution's relationship with the US was contentious from the very beginning.
Yea the us was originally behind batistas regime but then implemented embargoes on both sides not wanting to get involved (surprisingly with their track record) the castro tapes is a great documentary you can find here
This was filmed in Havana.
Eisenhower let Batista swing in the wind. JFK had more compassion for the US mafia.
how can a revolution have a relationship?
@@DisconnectedRoamer don't see your question clear? can you make a better point? I mean, Revolutions doesn't mean to me a transitions to Communism!
I think he made a guest appearance on 'I Love Lucy' for Desi Arnez, but Ike wouldn't meet with him at the UN, or NYC.
Wow. Historic footage.
Respect ✊ for speaking English. Che would only speak in Spanish in protest.
The American media outlet had stacked the deck. He couldn't bring in his own interpreter.
Wrong. Ernesto Guevara De la Serna spoke some English and was fluent in French
Che gang rise up against the heretics. Che could speak french which, If I am correct, Castro never learned.
@@henryjackson4802 I’m sure he could speak many languages but when your audience is English speaking, speak in their tongue so they can understand you. When in Rome......
@@domochoa How many times would Che speak to Americans? Che spent most of his latter life aiding the revolution by fighting in Latin America and the Congo. When he was not fighting for the revolution he was Living the life of the proletariat. He was working 14 hour days in a dockyard.
I would have given anything just to have met and spoken to Fidel for one hour. I am not naive enough to think he was perfect. No one is but he embodied the very essence of being a true leader. He speaks perfect common sense.The problem with the world today is we don't have such men of intelligence, charisma, spirituality and humour running the show. If we did the world would be a far better place to live. Castro puts virtually all of our US and European leaders to shame.
Castro ensured Cuba did not become the drugs gateway from South America into the US and Europe. He correctly applied zero tolerance. With Fidel now gone this will change. Over the coming decades the norms will occur in Cuba with 0.02% of the devious becoming super wealthy, 10% upper middle class, 20% lower middle class and the remaining almost 70% consigned to a lifetime of misery. Is this what we call a good system in the US name of "freedom" and "democracy."
You dont know the history along the 64 years of Dictatorship. So study all his lies and a bit pf psychology and you will found out the perfect psychopathic profile of this narcissist assassin! Get educated. You are definitely another delusional passionate ignorant.
I agree. I'm a Castro fan as well. He could be temperamental at times, but that can be seen as emotional intelligence. Strong emotions. I too wish I could have met and spoke to this revolutionary leader.
Castro was not that smart or intelligent he was a men of feelings and ideologies and a true dictator.
He was the leader of a failed revolution and the responsible of more than 20 millions of Cubans immigrants to USA and the world during the last 60 years.
A true leader would have really led the Cuban people to a useful revolution not a failed one and more than 60 years of hunger ignorance poverty and economical failure.
No one of the things that Fidel promised the Cuban people were ever true he failed in every field.
Fidel regiment not only help and shelter drug dealers, but they are active participants and responsible for the drug trade in South Central Caribbean and North America
He went to law school in Cuba never had a post graduate degree or other degrees on any other expertise
He barely spoke English he did not speak any other languages only Spanish his native language
My question to you is why you think that somebody who has failed like he did is any smart or intelligent Do the right thing is very difficult do the wrong thing is easy and irresponsible in his 94 year of life he never admitted any wrongdoing like a true dictator would?
@@nanlars2323can't be dull and be in the position he was in. On top of that the us tried assassinating him dozens of times and he went untouched and died of old age and led Cuba for half a decade. Thats pure intelligence like it or not now keep crying.
@@nanlars2323 Finally someone with knowledge and common sense. Bravo!! Those that think so highly of Fidel Castro should go and live in Cuba now to experiance what his "leader" have done to the Cuban people. Is a disgrace!! @regularlife88 and johnhickton7944!!
I was born and raised in America and Castro speaks better English than me and understand more about politics than I do and he barely can speak English. Wtf this dude is intelligent and Gangster.

kindly input english subtitles for people cant hear but can read... thank you...
is it a request or a gratitude? there is no any subtitles...
Usually a RUclips perquisite
the way he says "what?" at 14:54 is so funny
Fidel Castro was a Narcissist and an Natural Liar, he was a Leo, so he liked to impress people to make them believe he was smart, yes he was, but more than smart he was too ignorant to believe he can lie to any one without being discovered and changing topics to confuse answers, talking topic out of the original questions. Same way as we can see Trump.

Fidel Castro outsmarted every US government his entire life. A giant.
I spent a short time in Cuba. Havana was a very safe place. Safer than London.
Cubans, the ones I spoke to, struck me as intelleligent, resourceful, and very proud.
I admire them for what they have achieved, in their healthcare system, and in their education, against the odds.
Damn the US for the blockade. It should have ended years ago. One day China will be top dog. And then the blockade will end.
The US has a embargo, not a blockade. There is a major difference between the two.
Why wouldn't there be safety in a place where you'll disappear if you get out of hand?... You were expecting them to be drooling in illiteracy? lol Resourceful?, As in making a life raft out of a 57 Chevy?... LOL Proud?.. of a dictatorship or their culture. There's a distinction you know. LOL 😂
@@divinenatureonline I can tell you, as a matter of fact, you will NOT disappear, nothing bad happens if you get out of hand. You can still go to the wrong neighborhood and get into problems or robbed just like any other place, though it is a lot less likely compared to other countries. Resourceful by finding a way to get by in the face of scarcity imposed by foreign governments, and yes.. very proud :). You will find many Cubans still living in the island idolize Fidel to some extent. You can’t deny that though he technically qualifies as a dictator, he did a lot of good for the country, especially in the beginning, freeing it from an oppressive and abusive dictatorship that came before him with Fulgencio Batista, and introducing literacy and free education to the majority of the country, among other things.
@@sergiosuarez3120 sigh... But are they free to leave Cuba???...
@@divinenatureonline that's not my point, nor was it the point of your original reply.
Fidel was taught at Columbia U in NY & he wrote articles for the NY Times in the late 1940's. This was an extremely bright man who had his own visions of what he wanted to do as a Cuban leader & he stayed in power for nearly 50 years before serious illness forced him to step down in his final years.

ruclips.net/video/xEmcb_XUtb8/видео.html
I can bet my shirt that you don't and never lived in Castro's Cuba.
Castro Destroyed Cuba! The current revolt by the people in Havana is a testament to his brutal government.
Please name his achievements
You don't know who you're worshiping!
The safest thing is that you think you know, but I can assure you that what you know comes from and from the official media of Fidel's government, or from his ENORMOUS intelligence apparatus that operated and still OPERATES ALL over the world. A plus, each Cuban embassy is considered to be an intelligence center and... Take care of your countries! Because everything they touch, they rot.
Fidel Castro (and his high elite) lived like a great capitalist; but he forced his people, in addition to rotting others inside, to live in communism.
I can assure you that communism creates hunger, needs and misery as weapons of social control.
This is so good!
Who else here watching Trudeau's father?
They say that the only decent roads in Cuba before the revolution were the ones from the Plantations to the refineries to the ports. All of the work of ordinary Cubans benefited Americans. Fidel punished those who sold out their own people to American interests and gave the benefits of Cuban production to the Cuban people. That is a heroic act, especially considering that Fidel was born into a wealthy sugar family. If all he wanted was power, he could have had it much more easily by doing nothing. Instead he saw the humanity in the exploited Cubans and sacrificed his secure, wealthy future to help all. A true hero. Viva Fidel!
💪🏾
Clearly you dont know any Cubans from that era and are falling into the communist propaganda. Cuba was at par with the US and even surpassed it with their constitution. Before you make up your mind perhaps you should read more about its history.
@@Marifrancesca1 Only in America would someone type "Cuba had even surpassed the US in the inhumane chasing of profit at the expense of its people" and think that was a good thing.
He was an illegitimate son. His mother was a servant, yes he had to do something else for power.
I'm cuban. You don't know much of cuban history apperantly. I suffered under this tyrants rule. He only cares about himself.
Castro knew English but eventually decided to do his interviews in Spanish because he used those interviews to address his people and Spanish-speaking people in the world and also because Spanish is his language and that of Latin America. Why did he have to speak English instead of the interviewer speaking in Spanish? When the Amercian presidents go to Latin America they do not speak Spanish. Currently on the Latin American left, it is frowned upon that a Latin American president when he goes to the USA speaks in English with the press and with his American counterparts. That is what right-wing presidents do and leave a taste of subservience.
Absolutely right!
He was an Idiot, and like to impress people, you are looking the a Narcissist. A natural liar!

A real visionary leader 👏. Fast forward and Cuba has one of the highest literacy rate, lowest mortality rate, exporting highly qualified doctors to poor nations, helped south Africa topple the apartheid regime and more . All these despite the illegal embargo by the International western Powerstructure!

20 years later he kinda forgot, or feigned have forgotten , how to speak English during his interview with Barbara Walters.
Two watches ? What ???? 23:50
maybe traveling in different time zones?
yes, he was communicating with Russians to further his communist ambitions, so one of the watches was in the Russia Time zone
Long story. He was late in an assault in 1953, than almost everyone got killed, and he said was a watches malfunctioning and was his justification because of course he knew were be a massacre, so after that, is why he started used two watches for that reason and avoid malfunctioning, but he was an a coward at battles.

Togliete l embargo da Cuba è un popolo che vuole vivere con dignità e se la America insiste nel privare loro il commercio...viene messo in difficoltà economiche.
I popoli hanno diritto alla loro libertà e sovranità.non sono comunista ma solo condivido il pensiero di un popolo che non vuole corruzione e più giustizia
La cosa più sicura è che pensi di sapere, ma ti posso assicurare che quello che sai viene da e dai media ufficiali del governo Fidel, o dal suo ENORME apparato di intelligence che ha operato e OPERA ancora in TUTTO il mondo. Inoltre, ogni ambasciata cubana è considerata un centro di intelligence e... Prenditi cura dei tuoi paesi! Perché tutto ciò che toccano, marciscono.
Fidel Castro (e la sua alta élite) viveva come un grande capitalista; ma costrinse il suo popolo, oltre a far marcire gli altri dentro, a vivere nel comunismo.
Posso assicurarvi che il comunismo crea fame, bisogni e miseria come armi di controllo sociale.

Truth is, any wealth that comes from outside would have been confiscated and swallowed up by the dictatorship. Communism is about power NOT benevolence. It's antichrist.
This man brought schools and hospitals to the poor. Cuba today has a higher life expectancy and a lower infant morality rate than the US as well as having one of the best education systems in latin america. Cuba has also been far from the most brutal regime in latin america in the 20th century, Guatemala just to name one example had a series of dictatorships after the US organized coup of 1954 that killed aproximately 250 thousand people, most of whom were poor indigenous people. I mean Cuba is far from perfect but given the alternatives(i.e a succesful Bay Of Pigs invasion and a Guatemala-style dictatorship) its hard not to admit that the revolution has accomplished a great deal.
No different than bin ladden
❤❤❤❤❤ Fidel ❤❤❤❤❤
There is maybe no cooler person in history than Fidel Castro
You don't know who you're worshiping!
The safest thing is that you think you know, but I can assure you that what you know comes from and from the official media of Fidel's government, or from his ENORMOUS intelligence apparatus that operated and still OPERATES ALL over the world. A plus, each Cuban embassy is considered to be an intelligence center and... Take care of your countries! Because everything they touch, they rot.
Fidel Castro (and his high elite) lived like a great capitalist; but he forced his people, in addition to rotting others inside, to live in communism.
I can assure you that communism creates hunger, needs and misery as weapons of social control.
@@musicaquecalma4134 I’ve read way way more both good and bad about Castro than you have.
@@chrisbartolotta2187 I'm sorry friend; but, unfortunately for me, being born and living in Cuba has given me all the knowledge and bad experience.
That is why I do not want any other people in the world to have to go through that aberration of the system, nor to have to be in the hands of someone like Fidel Castro.
That liar, manipulator, hypocrite and ambitious being who, due to his ENORMOUS intelligence (undoubtedly), indoctrinated and enslaved an entire nation.
Pátria ou muerte 🇵🇹
Dr Castro? Didn't know Castro was a PhD.
He was a lawyer.
LONG LIVE THE REVOLUTION OF CUBA FIDEL WAS A HERO, BUT CHE GUEVARA WAS THE REAL REVOOUTIOHNARY

Una sola stella brilla sempre quella del COMANDANTE GUEVARA ! ☆
There's no mention of Fredo Corleone making it out of Cuba.
WTF happened? He sure sounded like he wanted a great republic. Crazy how us in the USA are having similar situations. Cant Identify Anymore
I think that decades of global sanctions have made it tough
We pushed him into Russia's arms
