Think you know the full story of the Cuban Revolution? Adrian Alvarez took some time apart from his career in law to go down a few rabbit holes and find the thrilling story involving the Kennedy's, the Mob, the CIA, and how they all played a part in shaping the Revolution. Adrian is currently turning this story into a comic book and hopeful streaming series, all seen through the eyes of Rolando Cubela, Raul Castro's secret lover, and childhood friend of Jose Antonio Echevarria, who lead the insurrection itself.

La isla vive ahora mismo una crisis histórica. El sistema no funciona, es un hecho, y hay un dato que lo demuestra: el 88% de los cubanos vive en la pobreza extrema. El régimen que preside Miguel Díaz-Canel ha intentado aprobar un ‘paquetazo' con subidas de todo tipo (del combustible a la electricidad), pero tal ha sido el malestar entre los ciudadanos que la revolución —que ya cumple 65 años— se ha tenido que echar atrás por miedo. Mientras, las heridas de la represión siguen abiertas, es el país de la región con más presos políticos. Lo analizamos con Daniel Lozano, corresponsal de EL MUNDO en las AméricasSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
This Day in Legal History: Cuba Suspended from Organization of American States (OAS)Today, January 22nd, marks a significant date in legal history. On this day in 1962, the Organization of American States (OAS), an international organization founded for the purposes of regional solidarity and cooperation among its member states in the Americas, made a momentous decision regarding Cuba. Following the communist revolution in Cuba led by Fidel Castro, the OAS voted to suspend Cuba from its membership. This action was a reflection of the Cold War tensions that were prevalent during that era, as many member countries of the OAS were aligned with the United States, which opposed communist ideologies.The suspension of Cuba from the OAS was more than a symbolic gesture; it represented a significant diplomatic and political isolation of Cuba in the Western Hemisphere. It was a part of broader efforts by the United States and its allies to limit the spread of communism, particularly in the Americas. The OAS, established in 1948, was seen as a crucial platform for political discourse and policy-making in the region, and Cuba's exclusion meant a significant limitation in its diplomatic reach and influence.However, the political landscape began to shift over the years, and in a historic move, the OAS voted to reinstate Cuba on June 3, 2009. This decision came at a time when international attitudes towards Cuba were thawing, and there was a growing recognition of the need to engage rather than isolate. The vote to reinstate Cuba was seen as a step towards normalizing relations and acknowledged the changing dynamics in international politics.Interestingly, the Cuban government, led by Raul Castro, Fidel Castro's brother, rejected the offer of reinstatement almost immediately. The rejection by Cuba was indicative of the deep-seated mistrust and the residual effects of years of political and ideological conflict. Cuba's response was also a reflection of its desire to maintain its sovereignty and political ideology without perceived interference from other nations, particularly those in the Americas.The events of January 22, 1962, and the subsequent developments in 2009 highlight the complexities of international relations and the ongoing impact of historical events on contemporary politics. They underscore the evolving nature of diplomatic ties and the intricate balance between national sovereignty, ideological beliefs, and international cooperation.The U.S. Supreme Court is set to make a ruling that could limit federal agencies' regulatory powers, significantly influencing a challenge to President Biden's rule on socially conscious investing for employee retirement plans. This challenge, initiated by 26 Republican-led states, focuses on a Department of Labor rule that allows retirement plans to consider environmental, social, and corporate governance (ESG) factors in investment decisions. The states have requested the U.S. appeals court to delay its decision on this matter until the Supreme Court's ruling.The Supreme Court's decision revolves around the "Chevron deference," a legal precedent from 1984 that mandates judicial deference to reasonable agency interpretations of ambiguous U.S. laws. This doctrine is currently under scrutiny in a case related to overfishing monitoring. Texas-based U.S. District Judge Matthew Kacsmaryk, overseeing the lawsuit against the ESG investing rule, previously found the Labor Department's interpretation reasonable, allowing plans to consider ESG factors as long as traditional financial considerations remain prioritized.However, the challenging states argue that federal law explicitly requires retirement plans to focus solely on the financial benefit of participants, negating the need for Chevron deference in this case. They suggest that the 5th Circuit Court of Appeals should await the Supreme Court's decision on Chevron deference before proceeding.Critics of ESG investing, primarily Republicans, argue that it promotes liberal agendas, potentially harming the financial interests of plan participants or shareholders. The Biden administration, defending the ESG rule, argues for the preservation of Chevron deference, highlighting the necessity for agencies to interpret ambiguous legislation.The ESG rule, established in November 2023, reversed former President Trump's restrictions on considering ESG factors, impacting plans that invest over $12 trillion for more than 150 million people. The Supreme Court's decision on Chevron deference could have far-reaching implications, potentially making it more challenging for federal agencies to defend their rules in court and indicating a broader conservative effort to reduce the powers of the "administrative state." During the Supreme Court's recent arguments, a clear majority opinion on overturning Chevron deference was not evident, with some conservative justices expressing skepticism while others showed reluctance to reverse it.US Supreme Court ruling on agency powers may impact Biden ESG investing rule | ReutersThe Tenth Circuit is currently considering a challenge by Utah to President Joe Biden's re-establishment of Bears Ears and Grand Staircase-Escalante national monuments. Central to this case is the issue of judicial review regarding presidential use of the Antiquities Act for creating large national monuments. Utah, alongside two counties, appealed after their lawsuit was dismissed by Judge David Nuffer of the US District Court for the District of Utah, who ruled that Biden's actions under the Antiquities Act aren't subject to judicial review.The state argues that the vast size of these monuments, collectively covering over 3 million acres, violates the Antiquities Act's requirement for including only the “smallest area compatible” to protect antiquities. This expansion by Biden, which reversed former President Donald Trump's reduction of the monuments in 2017, has been criticized for limiting activities like drilling, mining, and logging.The Biden administration, along with environmental groups and tribes, are advocating for the appeals court to uphold the district court's dismissal of Utah's lawsuit. The Supreme Court's attention to this issue has been hinted at in a 2021 dissent by Chief Justice John Roberts, who noted the potentially limitless power of the Antiquities Act.Environmental groups argue that the Supreme Court already settled this issue in 1920, affirming President Theodore Roosevelt's use of the Act to protect the Grand Canyon. They, along with 29 law professors, contend that the challenges to the monuments are baseless and note the historical significance of these areas, dense with cultural artifacts sacred to tribes.The law professors emphasized that the Antiquities Act, which has been used by 18 presidents to establish protected areas, doesn't allow for judicial review and is a crucial piece of public land legislation. They highlight its historical use in creating significant monuments, including Papahānaumokuākea Marine National Monument and others by recent presidents.The Tenth Circuit's decision on whether Antiquities Act proclamations are reviewable could lead to a remand to the district court for a deeper examination of Utah's claims against the Biden administration. The outcome of this case could impact the future scope and application of the Antiquities Act in the preservation of national monuments.Biden Monument Dispute in Utah to Center on Judicial ReviewThe Florida State Bar recently adopted ethical guidelines for attorneys using artificial intelligence (AI), marking it as one of the first governing bodies to provide such guidance. These guidelines, detailed in an 18-page opinion approved by the bar's board of governors, address various aspects of AI use in legal practice, from reviewing computer-generated work to fee structures and maintaining client confidentiality.The initiative to develop these guidelines stemmed from the bar President Scott Westheimer's focus on addressing the promise and peril of AI in law. An ethics committee identified potential pitfalls of AI to offer general guidance adaptable to the increasing number of AI tools in the legal industry. Brian David Burgoon, Chair of the Board Review Committee on Professional Ethics, emphasized the significance of AI in law, noting both excitement and caution due to its potential to provide a competitive edge to practitioners who use it responsibly.Despite AI being a new technology, the ethical concerns it raises are familiar. The guidance reminds lawyers of the importance of supervising and verifying the work produced by AI, akin to the traditional oversight of law clerks and paralegals. The potential efficiency and effectiveness of AI in legal practice could lead to cost savings for clients and firms. However, the guidelines stress the need for fair pricing, drawing parallels with past rulings on other expenses and overheads.A unique challenge with AI is the risk to client confidentiality, particularly with large language models that might retain and improperly divulge client information. The guidelines advise lawyers to be vigilant and continuously analyze each AI tool's use to ensure adherence to ethical principles.The rapidly evolving nature of AI technology and its growing presence in legal practice underscore the importance of having ethical guidelines. These guidelines aim to help lawyers navigate both the advantageous tools and the potential problems AI can bring to the legal field.AI Guidance From Florida Bar Builds on Familiar Ethics RulesThe $78 billion bipartisan business break and child tax credit bill passed the House Ways and Means Committee with a 40-3 vote, signaling a rare moment of bipartisanship in Congress. Despite Republican resistance to more robust child tax credit provisions and a raised state-and-local tax (SALT) deduction cap, both parties recognized the bill as a compromise. The committee's Chair, Jason Smith (R-Mo.), praised the bipartisan vote, highlighting the potential for cross-party collaboration to deliver tax relief.As the bill moves to the House floor, members from both parties expressed a desire for a swift vote, possibly as soon as January 29 when the House returns. However, Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) has not indicated his support for the bill nor his plans for its presentation in the House. The bill might need to pass under suspension of the rules, which limits amendments and requires a two-thirds supermajority, but regular order could allow for further amendments from both parties.In the Senate, the situation is more complex. While Senate Democrats generally support the plan, Senate Republicans, including Senate Finance Ranking Member Mike Crapo (R-Idaho) and Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.), have remained critical or silent. Some Senate Republicans have concerns about the cost of the child tax credit and the proposed offsets. The bill needs at least 60 votes to pass in the Senate, suggesting possible further amendments to gain Republican support.The timing of the bill's passage is crucial, as the House returns on the same date tax filing begins, January 29. IRS Commissioner Danny Werfel noted the challenges of implementing tax changes so close to the filing season but expressed confidence, as did Richard Neal, in the IRS's ability to adapt. However, National Taxpayer Advocate Erin Collins warned that changes during the filing season could disrupt the process, potentially delaying refunds and increasing IRS call volumes. Collins advocates for a provision allowing the IRS to adjust credits post-filing to avoid the need for amended returns, addressing an existing backlog issue.What's Next for the Tax Bill?

When Fidel Castro took over Cuba in 1959, he deposed a dictator. And then the man who promised democracy turned into a dictator himself, and turned Cuba communist. Did he also make Cuba better than it was before? Or worse? Today we dig into the Cuba Revolution, and also go over the centuries of foreign subjugation and internal chaos and corruption that preceded it. Cuba has been struggling since long before Castro took it over. We meet a few interesting players in addition to going over the history, including infamous revolutionary Ernesto "Che" Guevara.

La Revolución castrocomunista, desde el 1ro. de enero de 1959, y hasta el presente, pasó por muchas situaciones críticas, de diversa índole y orígenes, algunas domésticas y otras relacionadas con la política internacional, que parecieron haber podido significar su desplome final; entre ellas, las diversas crisis migratorias; el fenómeno de la Microfacción; el incidente de la Embajada del Perú en La Habana; la Causa No.1 del oficial del ejército Ochoa y el escándalo del narcotráfico de estado... y acaso los tres momentos extremos más agudos fueron la caída del Muro de Berlín y la desaparición del comunismo, la muerte de Fidel Castro (fundador de la Revolución), y las protestas antigubernamentales ciudadanas generalizadas de julio de 2021... sin embargo, la revolución castro-canelista sobrevivió a todas ellas, razón por las cuales, entre los detractores de la tiranía comunista de Cuba a menudo existe un sentimiento de desánimo, de desilusión, y la idea de que, como resume la frase popular, "aquello no se cae" o, "a aquello no lo turba nadie"... a pesar de lo cual, hacemos este programa de turno de EL ATICO DE PEPE, con su conductor PEPE FORTE, presidido por la pregunta de si, "¿Es importante o no la muerte de Raúl Castro para la solución final de Cuba?". En esta directa analizamos si de verdad, en tanto que la última figura "histórica" de la revolución, es importante la desaparición del considerado Hombre No.2 de la revolución maledictiana para que, como pasó con la Unión Soviética con la extinción de la vieja guardia kremliniana, a consecuencia de "la "solución biológica generacional", llegase Gorbachev, y con ello los cambios que erosionaron el sistema. Eso es lo que analizamos en este ATICO DEPEPE, y los participantes del show se manifestaron en una u otra dirección. Interesante análisis. #RaulCastro #ElAticoDePepe #PepeForte Libro: El Sóviet Caribeño - César Reynel Aguilera: https://amzn.to/3Nztpym

Episode 136 is another Bonus Episode. We cover the story of Castro in Mexico just prior to his return from exile and the celebrated voyage from Mexico to Cuba on the Granma, a converted yacht. It was a trip he made with 81 other revolutionaries in rough seas and treacherous conditions and it took place over a seven day period at sea. It was Castro's treacherous return from exile to again set foot on Cuba and eventually wage a successful guerilla war against the Batista regime.

Episode 135 is another Bonus Episode. We cover the infamous story of the failed Attack on the Moncada Barracks. This was the first armed attack led by Fidel Castro against the Batista government after the1952 coup by Batista. The attack failed miserably with 25 people killed in the attack itself and an additional 54 of the revolutionaries summarily rounded up and murdered shortly afterward. Fidel Castro escaped into the mountains but was subsequently apprehended and brought to trial. While he was convicted and sentenced to fifteen years, his eloquent speech now dubbed "history will absolve me" coupled with the brutality of the Batista forces as they dealt with the escaping revolutionaries, combined to turn Castro into a national hero and set the stage for a later toppling of the Batista government. Join us in this continuing miniseries on Cuban history as we continue to set the stage and explore the forces that were shaping the world in that era of the twentieth century. It's history that immerses us in the Cuban story whose politics, geography, and economic circumstances would all collide and create an epicenter of geopolitical consequences. Consequences that would intersect in a crescendo right at the moment that JFK was coming to the Presidency. Understanding the leadup and history of Cuba is critical to this part of the journey that is JFK the Enduring Secret. The current group of episodes cover Fidel Castro and the Cuban revolution.

Episode 133 is the second fully dedicated episode covering Fidel Castro and the Cuban Revolution. In this episode, we give an overview of the revolutionary years and chronicle the major events of the Cuban Revolution that took place during the period between the coup by Batista in March 1952 through the fall of the Batista government, marked by his fleeing of the country on New Year's day 1959. The aftermath and repercussions of Batista's coup would give rise and voice to the young Fidel Castro as a revolutionary force in Cuba. It is an extraordinary tale that we tell of Castros early attempts to overthrow the Batista government including the failed Moncada Barracks attack, his trial and imprisonment, his subsequent exile in Mexico and his return to Cuba when he finally overtakes the Batista government in a guerilla campaign that eventually would win the day. Join us over the next several episodes for more detail on the Cuban Revolution and how this small band of radicals would overtake the Batista government . It is here on this island nation where the story eventually converges around the modern Cubans, CIA men and the mafia. All in one place.

La notizia è questa: il presidente russo Vladimir Putin e quello cubano Miguel Díaz-Canel hanno inaugurato insieme una statua in bronzo di Fidel Castro a Mosca, al culmine di una visita che ha sottolineato la sintonia politica fra Mosca e L'Avana contro le sanzioni occidentali.Díaz-Canel, primo presidente cubano a non essere un membro della famiglia Castro, è succeduto il 19 aprile 2021 a Raul Castro, fratello di Fidel, come primo segretario del Partito Comunista di Cuba. “Entrambi i paesi, Russia e Cuba, sono soggetti a sanzioni ingiuste”, ha detto Díaz-Canel, citato dalla Tass. Putin, da parte sua, ha ricordato le “ore di conversazione” con il defunto leader cubano, per il quale “ogni paese aveva diritto a svilupparsi liberamente, a scegliere la sua strada, e che le dittature, il saccheggio e il neocolonialismo non hanno posto in un mondo giusto”.
Episode 132 is the first fully dedicated episode covering Fidel Castro in what will be a mini series of episodes that covers Castro from his beginning. This current series will take us all the way through his triumphant toppling of the Batista government on January 1, 1959. This first episode chronicles Fidel Castro's background, and his early years at the University of Havana. We explore his greed and avarice as well,chronicling some of his accumulated wealth as a dictator which Forbes estimated to be in excess of 900 million dollars, and estimate calculated quite some time ago. The aftermath and repercussions of Batista's coup would give rise and voice to the young Fidel Castro as a revolutionary force in Cuba.

Now 60 years old, the trade embargo on Cuba has been perpetuated primarily at the behest of Washington. When it was imposed in 1962, John F. Kennedy was US president and Fidel Castro was the revolutionary leader of Cuba: a Communist too close for comfort for Washington at the height of the Cold War. Arms sales to Havana had been banned four years earlier and Cuba leant on its major ally, the Soviet Union, to fill the gap. Our panel discusses why the embargo remains in place today and if there is any hope of lifting it.

Acela Turco was born in Cuba. She and her family fled Cuba in the 60s to escape the beginning of the Castro regime. She recounts the story of her family facing immense scrutiny and danger in their efforts to leave the country; including the murder of a family member (in front of the family) by Raul Castro. This is a story of being brave in the face of fear of persecution or death; the virtues of freedom, and the cost that some pay to earn it. Support the show

#SOSCUBA has jumped from the virtual space to the streets. Protests erupting throughout Cuba and its diaspora this week call for an end to the Cuban government's repressive regime as an out-of-control pandemic pushes the island's limited basic resources past their breaking point. And the government's violent response- cutting off internet access and arresting dozens of protesters- has failed to silence a cry for freedom that is resonating around the globe.

Since 2007, President Raul Castro, noting its connection with national security, has made food security a priority. State farms hold over 70% of Cuba’s agricultural land; about 6.7m hectares. In 2007, 45% of this land was sitting idle. In 2008 Castro allowed private farmers and co-operatives to lease unused land with decentralised decision-making, and loosened regulations on farmers selling directly to consumers. Since 2010, Cubans with small garden plots, and small farmers, have been allowed to sell produce directly to consumers. However, agriculture in Cuba remains in crisis. A government report issued in July 2013 showed that productivity had not increased…LINK: Marianne Ward and John Devereux (2010): The Road Not Taken: Pre-Revolutionary Cuban Living Standards in Comparative Perspective: ‘All indications are that Cuba was once a prosperous middle-income economy. On the eve of the revolution, we find that incomes were fifty to sixty percent of European levels. They were among the highest in Latin America at about thirty percent of the US. In relative terms, however, Cuba was richer earlier on. The crude income comparisons that are possible suggest that income per capita during the 1920’s was in striking distance of Western Europe and the Southern States of the US. After the revolution, Cuba has slipped down the world income distribution. As best we can tell, current levels of income per capita are below their pre-revolutionary peaks…LINK: Carlos Eire: Raúl Castro Leaving Power Won’t Bring Change to Cuba Anytime Soon: ‘Raúl Castro is relinquishing all power on the eve of his 90th birthday. It would be a mistake to think that this piece of kabuki theater will bring change to Cuba any time soon…. The Communist Party in Cuba, which has had total control of the island for over 60 years, is not about to relax its grip. And since this party is controlled by the Revolutionary Armed Forces, Cuba is really governed by an old-fashioned Latin American military junta. It is an unusual junta, full of former rebels, but it is a junta…. Raúl Castro is stepping down from the throne, so to speak, but he will keep casting a long shadow as long as he can. Moreover, plenty of generals and colonels remain, ranging in age from their 50s to 80s. A top member of that exclusive circle is Raúl’s son, Col. Alejandro Castro Espín, who is only 55 and runs the country’s dreaded secret police. Official posts outside of the armed forces have a cosmetic sheen to them. The prime example is President Miguel Díaz-Canel…. Raw power resides in men such as Alejandro Castro Espín and 60-year-old Gen. Luis Alberto Rodríguez López-Callejas, ex-husband of Raul’s daughter Deborah. A member of the Castro dynasty by marriage, he is one of the most powerful men in Cuba, totally in charge of the branch of the Revolutionary Armed Forces that runs most of Cuba’s tourist industry. Since tourism is the country’s main source of income, his clout is considerable. The two brothers-in-law are purported to be engaged in a fierce struggle behind the scenes for the throne vacated by Raúl…..A new constitution in 2019…. Many articles outlaw dissent, such as No. 4: “The socialist system that this Constitution supports is irrevocable. Citizens have the right to combat through any means, including armed combat… against any that intends to topple the political, social, and economic order established by this Constitution.”… Article 229 seeks to drive a nail in the coffin of hope: “In no case will the pronouncements be reformed regarding the irrevocability of the socialism system established in Article 4.”…What will happen next? Is it possible that among the younger Cuban communists a Gorbachev lurks?… Is it possible that the junta could be overthrown, somehow, in traditional Latin fashion? Theoretically, one must suppose, anything is possible…. Theoretical possibilities fall into the realm of faith rather than reason…LINK: Carmelo Mesa-Lago (2019): There’s Only One Way Out for Cuba’s Dismal Economy: ‘The island’s economy is neither efficient nor competitive. To move forward it must deepen and accelerate reforms. The market socialism model could provide a way….. For the past 60 years, Cuba has been unable to finance its imports with its own exports and generate appropriate, sustainable growth without substantial aid and subsidies from a foreign nation. This is the longstanding legacy of Cuba’s socialist economy…. Between 1960 and 1990, the Soviet Union gave Cuba $65 billion (triple the total amount of aid that President John Kennedy’s Alliance for Progress gave Latin America). At its peak in 2012, Venezuelan aid, subsidies and investment amounted to $14 billion, or close to 12 percent of the gross domestic product. And yet, despite the staggering foreign aid subsidies it has received, the economy’s performance has been dismal…. Industrial, mining and sugar production are well below 1989 levels, and the production of 11 out of 13 key agricultural and fishing products has declined. Cuba is now facing its worst economic crisis since the 1990s.Tourism has been a bright spot for Cuba. From 2007 to 2017, visitors to the island doubled, largely thanks to the arrival of more Americans, whose numbers grew considerably after President Barack Obama eased diplomatic relations in 2015. But Hurricane Irma and the tightening of travel restrictions by President Trump (like barring American tourists from using hotels and restaurants run by Cuba’s military) and the alert declared by the administration after the sonic attacks on United States diplomats in Havana led to a drop in tourism during the end of 2017 and the first half of 2018. Tourism rebounded in September, driven by a cruise industry that offers customers lodging, meals and tours. Those visitors spend about 14 percent of what those arriving by air spend….Cuba’s woes are a result of the inefficient economic model of centralized planning, state enterprises and agricultural collectivization its leaders have pursued despite the failure of these models worldwide. In his decade in power, President Raúl Castro tried to face his brother Fidel’s legacy of economic disaster head on by enacting a series of market-oriented economic structural reforms. He also opened the door to foreign investment, but so far, the amount materialized has been one-fifth of the goal set by the leadership for sustainable development…. The pace of reforms has been slow and subject to many restrictions, disincentives and taxes that have impeded the advance of the private economy and desperately needed growth. It is time to abandon this failed model and shift to a more successful one as in China and Vietnam….Poor agricultural production, the result of collectivized agriculture, causes the island to spend $1.5 billion a year on food imports. As part of his agrarian reform, Mr. Castro began leasing fallow state-owned land to farmers through 10-year contracts—now increased to 20 years—that may be canceled or renewed depending on the farms performance. Farmers must sell most of their crops to the government at prices set by the state, which are below market prices…. If reform is carried out and foreign investors are allowed to hire and pay a full salary directly to their employees, there will be a significant improvement in the economy and the government can undertake the desperately needed monetary unification that will attract more investment and eliminate the economic distortions that plague the economy.LINK: Cuba Employment Shares: Agriculture 25%, Industry 10%, Services 65%(Remember: You can subscribe to this… weblog-like newsletter… here: There’s a free email list.

At long last: The "Communism" episode! Rita goes off on her progressive, possibly socialist son (um, that's me, your host), providing an in-depth origin story of communism in Cuba. While there's no Marvel Universe Thanos, there are quite a few interesting characters and moments discussed. From Fabio Grobart -- the infamous "Man With Three Names" - to a young, impressionable Fidel Castro, all the way up to last week's Raul Castro retirement, with a whole lotta guns, poverty and outrage in between. To Rita, the U.S. embargo against Cuba is far less damaging to her home country's people that the political system in place. To U.S. politicians, particularly Presidential candidates, the mere mention of the word "Communism" (or "Socialism" for that matter) is enough to sway Cuban and many other Latino voters to go Republican. Anything, it seems, even oligarchy, is preferable to what went down in Cuba and other parts of South- and Central America. Is the United States at least partially to blame for what went- and goes down (re: years of political and economic destabilization, drugs, right-wing death squads, chimichangas ... just kidding on that last one...only that last one)?? Hell yes! Does it matter to Rita? Hell no! Well ... ok .. maybe a little. Listen for yourself and tell me what you think. This week's "Who Would You Make a Baby With?" segment pits none other than Russia's Most Sexiest Man, Vladimir Putin against a young, frazzled but righteous Bernie Sanders. Rita was, understandably, appalled by the choice, but, goodness, choose she did! --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app
50 ár eru í dag síðan danska varðskipið Vædderen lagðist að Miðbakka í Reykjavík með einhvern dýrmætasta farm sem fluttur hefur verið til Íslands; Flateyjarbók og Konungsbók Eddukvæða. Þetta var hátíðisdagur; það var þjóðhátíð á Íslandi, frí í vinnu og skóla, íslenski fáninn við hún í hverri stöng, fimmtán þúsund komu saman við Reykjavíkurhöfn og fólk úti á landi og sem ekki átti heimangengt fylgdist með beinum útsendingum í sjónvarpi og útvarpi. Menntamálaráðherra, Lilja Alfreðsdóttir, kom á Morgunvaktina í dag, við fjölluðum um komu handritanna á sínum tíma en ræddum ekki síst um þau handrit sem enn eru ytra og viðræður við Dani um að þau verði flutt til Íslands, verði flutt heim. Í fyrsta sinn í meira en sex áratugi ber æðsti valdamaður á Kúbu nú ekki eftirnafnið Castro. Miguel Diaz-Canel tók við af Raul Castro sem formaður kúbverska kommúnistaflokksins á flokksþingi í síðustu viku. Diaz-Canel, sem þegar gegndi embætti forseta Kúbu, er nærri þremur áratugum yngri en forveri sinn. Ekki er þó búist við að hann taki til við róttækar breytingar á stjórn eyjunnar ? og Castro-fjölskyldan verður áfram áhrifamikil. Vera Illugadóttir fjallaði um Castróana og Kúbu. Það er mikil bílamenning á Íslandi, og hlutfall bíla á heimilum hátt. Akureyringurinn Guðmundur Haukur Sigurðarson, framkvæmdastjóri Vistorku, hefur verið ötull í að hvetja fólk til að ganga eða hjóla milli staða í bænum, í stað þess að nota einkabílinn til að komast stuttar vegalengdir. Óðinn Svan Óðinsson, fréttamaður, spjallaði við Guðmund um samgöngur. Tónlist: White cliffs of Dover - Vera Lynn Bíllinn minn og ég - Skriðjöklar

Ahead of a historic meeting between Cuba's President Castro and US President Obama, The Inquiry asks if the island nation's warmer relations with America are a betrayal of its revolutionary past. More than half a century ago, Che Guevara became a global icon after he fought alongside Fidel and Raul Castro to overthrow an American-backed government and put into practice their socialist ideals. Now Raul Castro has made a deal with the Americans and the lifting of the long-standing economic embargo of Cuba is becoming a realistic prospect. We delve into Che Guevara's past, the changes already happening in Cuba under Raul Castro and the Obama administration's motives, to answer the question - what would Che say?(Photo: Fidel Castro and Che Guevara in the mid 1950s.
