## Resource

Glenn reviews the shocking news that's coming out of Cuba, which Secretary of State Marco Rubio accused of being the "ideological capital" of left-wing extremism that's infecting America. The Democratic Socialists of America released a new program, and it's a radical experiment to change America fundamentally. But has it been done before? Glenn reveals that this idea isn't new and has already been tried and failed. Glenn responds to a subscriber's admission of hopelessness and gives his advice to fight that feeling by highlighting the power of the individual.  Learn more about your ad choices.
