Barbara Walters interviews Fidel Castro from Havana, Cuba -- 25 years after her first interview with the Cuban leader. Her original interview made a little history because people got their first real look at the man. Although Castro is known for very long speeches, he rarely does interviews.
Fidel Castro, 76 at the time of this interview, has outlasted nine US presidents. He's on his tenth. His rule continues to inspire both fear and devotion. He tells Barbara Walters that Soviet leader Nikita Khrushchev lied to both President John F. Kennedy and Cuba, heightening the Cuban Missile Crisis.
Anchor: Barbara Walters and John Miller Airdate: October 11, 2002

It's amazing how we in America want every country in the world to live like we do, as if other people in other countries don't have ideas or for that matter intelligence.
If Cuba was an intelligent country, then why don't they have freedom of expression, wouldn't that be the intelligent thing to do?
tali Guevara America doesn't have freedom of speech either. Police use tear gas on anti-racist protesters and protect Nazis.
When is our country gonna stop bullying Cuba?
When Cuba starts doing things our way.
tikocal Already starting...
+Montpelier Montgomery fuck you
+Montpelier Montgomery "Things our way." Do you mean the way of supporting a middle eastern country responsible for the genocide of an entire population? Do you mean the way of suspecting another middle eastern country having WMDs which turned out to be false, yet attack it anyways? Lolol. America was great before all these neocons and warmongers penetrated the U.S. congress and start it using this country in their favor.
Rafael Garcia I'm not saying I agree with it; I'm just telling you how it is.
it just dawned on me why American Media paints Fidel Castro as some kind of boogie man - he kicked corporations out of Cuba (and remember in America ...corporations are people...like it says "We the Corporations" on the Constitution)
Fidel Castro standing up against US imperialism
Till his last breath. A hero
Castro was a great man, he liberated the people from the oppressiveness of the Batista rule.Sadly, his progress was stopped by the US.
Fidel Castro I love you ...R.I.P...🙏
Ah ha ha George W. Bush calling an election a sham. Enough irony to make a hipsters head explode.
I am captivated by Fidel Castro's voice. It's rather gentle, isn't it?
He was an amazing orator , this charisma .especially when he was young and unwavering with his point of view . If you understand Spanish , you'll perhaps understand better . His voice is nice, Is it wrong for me to think ,that he and Barbara Walters should of had an affair with each other ,right there when they were young ? I see chemistry
I'm half Mexican, he reminds me of my grandpa XD
Fuck you.
It's beautiful!😊
"No freedom is possible without culture" Jose Marti
I LOVE CASTRO,,,, HE IS SO REAL
there was a rumor of an affair between them in their first interview
Oh It's amazing how Fidel hits Barbara to the bone regarding the talks on freedom!!
history will absorb bush as an idiot,what Cuba has survived and achieve america could not under the same circumstances the Cuban people should be proud of themselves,alot of big country can really take a Paige from Cuba's good book
the last truly charismatic leader in the world
that's right... you can not agree with some methods this guy applied on his country... but he's a tremedous man.. very charismatic e smart
Whatever one think about him, you gotta hand Castro...he's both charismatic and charming
3:30 Really?! Its obvious to me he wanted to stay neutral in this matter. If he wanted to challenge the US he could if he wanted to. He's done it for like 40 years.
He probably did not want to antagonize the US so soon after 9/11. Also Castro had much more freedom to criticize when the USSR was still around making Cuba less vulnerable to the US embargo.
I have deeply respect for that man.
look at fidel's body language, look into his eyes all you see is the truth, Viva Fidel ! Viva Che ! Viva la Revolucion ! Serbia loves you
castro is BOSS
hate him or love him, Castro is 10 times more intelligent than Bush.
did she just questioned him about teachers being underpaid? lmao . the US teachers don't even wanna teach lol. underpaid too. teachers are underpaid everywhere in the world.
the US talks about freedom of speech. isnt freedom to live more important?
this guy was very well calculated in his answers
He seems nice. I wonder why we always try and make people as powerful or nearly as powerful, somekind of threat?
Castro is a very interesting person! I wonder, where is part 1 of this interview? Great work uploading the rest.
I wish my country JAMAICA could run like Cuban because we wouldn't have so much shit going on down there JAMAICA in this time. like crime, scamming , in one month look how much people died in Jamaica everyday it's a shameful to see Jamaica going to the dogs I'm so ashamed of my own country JAMAICA SHOULD RUN LIKE CUBAN EVERYDAY no doubt about it? RIP Castro EVERYTIME ONE LOVE TO THE CUBANS PEOPLE. MY NEXT DOOR NEIGHBOR
SUNSHINE GIRL ONE LOVE least you get universal health care
Castro is hilarious, charming and beautiful!! I love him!!!!
I dont believe in my lifetime there would be another president like Fidel never because he is the only man that stands up for his people and his country. And also cares about all others.
Well since Castro believes that Americans are being misinformed about Cuba, this interview could only do him good to speak his mind and appear as someone at least somewhat prudent and sane.
Besides, professional journalism at the level of Barbara Walters is very just. Castro knows that although she asks tough questions, she's always fair and has good reasons for asking them.
......a mere piece of paper on a map instead of an actual continent with people living there minding their business with different cultures, backgrounds, etc. For the sake of making money and using the people or killing them if they were in the way of them making money.) Fidel Castro actually sent 36,000 troops over to Angola to help the "AFRICAN" leader there fight against colonialism and they won. He has always helped in such respects. I will forever love Fidel,
Viva Castro!
He did, but he forgot much of it. Though, he still understands it. Plus, it's considered common procedure/protocol to have interpreters between any foreign leaders, just to make sure neither party missed out on anything being said.
I meant truly charismatic, as showing real concern, not fake actorish charisma... May I ask you where did you get your account name from?
where the fk is part 1?
This seems like a love and hate fight,. Hehehehe,
Read his book. Fidel is a true badass.
And a asshole too.
No he isn't
+Jbkwtv He is too.
Rafael Garcia No he's not.
I don't get why people hate him. They don't like the way he runs things obviously but I guarantee there would be a group of people with an issue if they were in charge.
Diplomacy is of most importance between Countries. Each Country ought to respect other Countries.
There ought to be repercussions for those who enter other Countries by force. And also for those who have bad intentions while visiting other Countries.
Each Country ought to recognize that it must work together with others and we ought to discourage violence.
I would establish higher punishments/disciplines for those fabricating false fronts. Like commiting acts to stage a lie to implicate others.
Honor y Gloria eternos al Señor Teniente General Don Jorge Rafael Videla....!!!
viva fidel una figura importante en nuestra america la verdadera america latina viva fidel
Fidel Castro is the best leader the world ever seen
where in the freak is part 1
Because of Fidel i relocate to Cuba thank you .This is one man that they couldn't change so they hated him and his country.
It's amazing that Fidel is trying to charm Barbara.
Such class, such charisma.
Agreed!
Can you imagine Bush and Castro arguing directly on TV??
lol
Fidel would destroy Bush in a debate.
Viva Fidel Castro!
The sad thing is that..BARBARA WALTERS knows this man is not what the media says he is.
It should be noted that most Cubans leave Cuba because the economy.
Maybe that wouldn't be so if we didn't impose sanctions on them.
They want subsidy everything free, without lifting a finger,just like the venezuelans, They are here in bogota,coz maduro cut off all subsidies, lazy assholes just like dominican and puerto rican, all a bunch of scumbag wifebeaters
@egogo816 I would say just that for what I know, Fidel Castro lead the revolution, not to gain power for himself, but to free his country from what he believed were an opressive state and foreign influences and make a better way of life for his people. I mean, I don´t think he used empty rethoric, he really wanted the best for his country. You can´t say that for sure of almost no other leader or president in these times.
where is part 1of6????
I love you Castro!
Fidel Castro legend!! RIP el comandante!!✌🙏🌎
@egogo816 Alright, but I am telling this, and about Castro because I think is true. When you are a person who really cares about others, you can see the difference between a man who believes in what he says and someone who just speaks sh*t to pursue his own advantage. Just the careless and selfish polititians and the people they convince think they can say whatever they want, and nobody will notice. The rest of us know better.
Like or dislike him, Castro had charisma
• ...Thats is one of the goals of socialism. To take the value created by industries in any given nation and put to collective use for all in said same nation such as food rationing, free medical care, and free schools (at all levels). For if a person is homeless, hungry, injured, contracted pnuemonia, and is uneducated then what good is the freedom "to"? This is exactly what Cuba is trying to achieve. The problem is the embargo. It's putting the building of socialism through a hindered pace.
Self-sufficiency with massive financial support from the USSR and Venezuela. Plus, is communism the opposite of "self sufficiency", as a basic theory?
@imperativeduty The US compares itself to China all the time? No, I don't think so.. That's not true. And since there is no free press in China, why would believe anything their government tells the UN or the rest of the world? How can you verify data and statistics when independent research by a free press is prohibited within such a state?
why the US always critizeses fidel castro if even the cuban people love him
what a man! Castro!
i thought he speaks english
I'm from Hungary.
In the kommunist era the life was so much better.
My idol
fidel ever the charmer rip
Freedom is merely privalege extended unless enjoyed by one and all.
@Boss351Mustang Because Cuba is under an embargo by the USA the US won't allow militants into the island, they wont allow guns, Castro has a Huge army, and no one has money to fund any sort of cue de ta. So just think about it this way the guy with the guns rules the people with no guns the guy with the money rules the people with no money and that is why the cant over through him. I hope that answered your question. And stay cool
genio ...uno de los pocos q se atrevio contra USA
Is America righteous? How in the hell can we tell someone what to do with all the hell that's going on in our own country?
What title of this series if this series has a woman white , who was kidnapped by bikers , and they called her mouse , or mute , bec. she wouldn't speak to ppl. , and was passed around , or sold a lot , or was it the series hard copy , or Americas most wanted ? . I wanted to see about the up date , if there was one .
Why is he a bad man? I don't see it so why do people think he's bad?
@Lovelyyy4 Thats the beauty of our country. Our government allows for change.
@Ducksexbody Ok so i wont hold this against you, look when Catro took power Cuba was a huge economy there was trade all over the island from every part of the world it was the #1 place to spend your vacation. So castro was able to get guns, funding from from rich people he new (remember Castro was loaded his dad own a chunk of the island) he got revolutionaries like Che Guevara and many other people. And the thing you have been waiting for the reason why there has not been a revolution is
81 here
mp40...reading Fidel Castro, My Life, A Spoken Autobiography by Fidel Castro and Ignacio Ramonet.....very interesting.
Castro does have Charisma...
gonna pick up good Bio on Che...
Batista was Mafia thug:)
political prisoners? Haha, more like common criminals, it means less money it has to spend keeping these cut throats and more money that can go back into the public systems of health and education. The only bad thing is tax payers like me have to pay for them now.
@AlbertoDePiento hes not dead
Where is part 1 of 6?
this is part 1
Schnupfndrache7 really? Even though it says 2/6
legend
@heratos34 Viva una cuba libre! Sin castro! Ni la tiranía de los comunistas!! Para siempre!!
VIVA CUBA!
ahmadinejad is pretty charismatic
cuba libre? hes speaking about the drink?
@Lovelyyy4 Football = socialism, Baseball = capitalism... There's a reason the NFL is more popular. I agree, good sir.
la walter consiguio esta entrevista dandole la crica a fidel !
Fidel = dios
Te extraño mi comandante
Viva Fidel
Socio-Economic conditions on Cuba before 1959 are available from numerous un-baised sources all say not the paraside Cuban exiles recall but not the hell on Earth Castroites say it was. I do not like any dictators in any form and support the ousted left wing elected president of Honduras right to return. Latin America never had an industrial revolution like USA and Canada for numerous reasons, hence the export of natural resources for revenue.
He got a good mouth piece but cuba is hell
@imperativeduty Democracy with sufficient capitalism can stand on its own two feet and flourish. Limited government is the best government. Give people enough freedom and they can innovate, create and compete to manufacture the best products, produce the largest harvests, and where ever money flows without tariffs and stupid or excessive regulations, every one can get in on the action and get an opportunity to make their dreams come true..
The person that talks so much is because is hiding something and little he can do. That was his autobiography
lol Fidel Castro is such a playa--The USA is just a pack of haterz
@wecarnivore The same church that denied all the child molestations?
@Boss351Mustang Surely if he is as hated as you make out he would have been overthrown like batista was. You cant brianwash people if there living a completely shit life.
Lo que hace falta es Jama! (EL ORIGINAL
otro buen video que no deben perderse !

You can't talk about your love of history by bringing up made up bible stories
@lpuig73 So what was your argument for being pro guantanamo bay? and well since there isn't exactly a real communism in place atm i guess i can be like you and say like cuba is the ideal communism! lol! so well go back a step and look at the best socialism which would probably be Sweden and yes Sweden is better than america in just about everyway... democracy leads to socialism and socialism leads to communism.. so ill take the best socialism since eventually they will become a communism
So move back there!
