For almost 20 years, Lincoln Diaz-Balart was a member of Congress (1993 to 2011). He is a Republican from Miami. It was Ronald Reagan and Jeane Kirkpatrick, really, who convinced him to leave the Democratic party for the Republican. And he is one of Jay Nordlinger’s favorite people.
They talk about Cuba, mainly. (Land of Lincoln’s birth.) The Pope’s visit. Obama’s normalization. Also, who will succeed Raúl? His son Alejandro? Quite possibly. Lincoln and Jay also talk about two people whom the former knows well. They are both Miamians, and they are both running for president (Jeb and Marco).
Lincoln and Jay are so likeminded they can finish, and start, each other’s thoughts. If you are interested in these issues at all, you will enjoy a listen.

I hope folks are listening to this. It’s important.
I agree with Rob Long – Jay is one of the best interviewers along with P.Rob (and I would add Brian Lamb). This was a revelation – no bombast but carefully reasoned analysis that needs to be heard. Free Cuba!
Only part way through the interview, but it is really great.
Would love to be following the two men that Lincoln mentioned, but I expect they are in Spanish…
Wonderful interview.
2 questions I would like have asked:
1) Given the state of Russia today and the short time of democracy in Iraq, are the people of Cuba capable of self governing?
2) Would the Cuba people, on their own, rise up, if both Castro brothers were to pass?
