They examine the indictment of former Cuban leader Raúl Castro, revisit the tragic legacy of the Brothers to the Rescue shootdown, and discuss whether the communist island nation may be approaching its most consequential turning point in decades. Colonel Denny also reviews some of the major news stories affecting our lives and national security, helping listeners understand the events shaping our world. And, as always, he delivers another helping of his trademark humor and one-liners to lighten the mood. Our featured guest is Dennis Berens, who joins the program to discuss the Convention of States. Because this movement could have profound implications for the future of the country, Colonel Denny and Dennis explore what it is, what it hopes to accomplish, and why every American should understand the issues involved. We also continue our regular journey through military history, revisiting key events that helped shape the nation and preserve the freedoms we enjoy today. Returning to the program is Steve Goreham. This time, he tackles the rapidly expanding world of artificial intelligence and the controversy surrounding the construction of massive data centers across the country. Are Americans hearing the whole story? Steve examines the opportunities, challenges, and unanswered questions surrounding the infrastructure powering the AI revolution. This episode brings together history, constitutional issues, emerging technology, and the changing geopolitical landscape—all with the goal of helping Americans better understand the challenges and opportunities facing our nation.","meta_description":"In this episode of America’s Frontlines: Colonel Denny and Skip ask a provocative question: Is Cuba on the verge of dramatic change?
