SOS CUBA: The Ravages of Socialism

Shouting “Freedom” and other anti-government slogans, thousands of Cubans took to the streets in cities around the country on Sunday to protest food and medicine shortages, in a remarkable eruption of discontent not seen in nearly 30 years. Andrea, Orlando, and guest co-host, Carmen Maria Montiel, speak with Omar Bula Escobar, international analyst and expert on Geopolitics and with famed musician John Benitez. They discuss the plight of Cubans and others who suffer under socialism, and how 'socialism' stopped being a dirty word for some American voters.

The protesters pouring into streets across Cuba have a common rallying cry: “Patria y Vida,” or “Fatherland and Life.” The phrase comes from a hip-hop song released a few months ago by dissident Cuban artists who set out to challenge the government—and in the process helped spark a wave of protests against the 62-year communist regime.
