Rep. Ros-Lehtinen Talks Socialism on the Rise, Trade, and Latinas Leading the Way

In this episode, former Congresswoman Ileana Ros-Lehtinen joins us for an in-depth conversation on three critical issues shaping America’s future: the rise of socialism, the importance of trade and free enterprise, and the power of Latina leadership in politics. We start with the growing popularity of socialist ideas among young Americans — why it’s happening, what it says about our culture, and how it contrasts with the values of free markets and limited government. Then, we dive into the global economy, exploring Congresswoman Ros-Lehtinen’s op-ed on trade and how fair, reciprocal agreements are key to protecting American jobs and maintaining prosperity. Finally, we discuss why empowering more Latinas to run for office matters — not just for representation, but for the future of bipartisan leadership and strong democratic institutions.
