About this episode

The episode discusses the indictment of Raul Castro, the history of US-Cuba relations, record gas prices, and features an interview with Austin Rogers about his congressional campaign.

In today’s podcast we’ll be covering the indictment of Raul Castro and tracing US-Cuba relations from the Cuban Missile Crisis in '62 through to the Clinton era, examining how that administration split the long-standing consensus on America's communist neighbor to the south. We'll also dig into record-breaking gas prices and what they could mean for non-partisan voters heading into November. Joining us today is Austin Rogers, former General Counsel for Sen. Rick Scott and now candidate for Florida's 2nd Congressional District, who'll be laying out his vision for representing the Panhandle in Washington.
