Justice doesn't always come on time — but it just did. Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche walked into the Miami Freedom Tower on Cuban Independence Day and announced that Raul Castro and five co-defendants have been indicted by a federal grand jury for the 1996 murder of four Americans shot down over international waters. For the first time in 70 years, senior leadership of the Cuban regime is being held accountable in an American courtroom.
Jenny Beth Martin is joined by Hayden Ludwig, founder of restoration-news.com and host of the Restoration Spotlight Podcast, and Robert McNeely, Director of Broadcasting and Grassroots Engagement at Tea Party Patriots Action, to unpack what this indictment really means — and where America First foreign policy goes next.
The conversation covers:
• The Castro indictment and the revival of the Monroe Doctrine
• Why Thomas Massie lost his Kentucky primary after eight terms
• The Texas runoff: Ken Paxton vs. John Cornyn and what it means for the SAVE America Act
• Senator Ron Johnson's call to end the filibuster
• Louisiana v. Callais — the Supreme Court ruling Hayden says could redraw 34 House seats and create a permanent MAGA majority
• Justice Clarence Thomas, the 1965 Voting Rights Act, and conservative jurisprudence
• Lightning round: the abortion pill battle at the FDA, Secretary Pete Hegseth restoring concealed carry on military bases, North Carolina's charter school revolution, and why Mamdani's rent control plan is sending NYC into a spiral
