As regular listeners may know, Ileana Ros-Lehtinen, the veteran congresswoman from Miami, is one of Jay’s favorite politicians: favorite politicians, favorite Americans, favorite people. She is a champion of freedom the world over, not just in her native Cuba.

But it is about Cuba that Jay talks with her in this “Q&A.” Congresswoman Ros-Lehtinen fled with her family when she was eight. Fidel Castro has at last died – at 90, in bed. He did so much damage. With Jay, Ileana talks about the past, the present, and the future.

Her parents did not live to see this day, but their daughter is sure thinking about them.

    Great podcast Jay. I really enjoyed it. Please do more of this and do less Trump bashing. By all means vigorously disagree with Trump on some things but don’t become a one trick pony. You have alot of knowledge and alot of talents and I would like to hear all of them.

    Also, I feel it appropriate to mention Castro long standing oppression of homosexuals.

    Great podcast, Jay. Since reading Carlos Eire’s wonderful, tragic book, I’ve been an anti-Castro stalwart. I often wonder why the so-called “social justice warriors” who pine for the days of the civil rights movement in the US, with its clear good guys and bad guys were never captured by the moral clarity of the Cubans.
