Summary

Thousands of protesters gathered across Cuba over the weekend to decry their government and denounce the hardships citizens are facing as a result of the deteriorating economy in the country. These demonstrations calling for freedom and demanding the communist President Migue Diaz-Canel step down were quickly quashed by Cuban police and as a result President Biden and other U.S. officials have shared their support for the protesters. As that communist regime deals with instability, many young people in America are still interested in a socialist form of government and a recent Fox News Poll finds fewer Americans still believe the U.S. is the greatest place in which to live. Representative Nicole Malliotakis (R-NY) joins to share her perspective as a Cuban American and why democracy is so important and Fox News Political Analyst Juan Williams joins to explain why some Americans may be less patriotic recently. President Biden met with U.S. Attorney General Merrick Garland and local leaders and law enforcement at the White House on Monday to discuss the rising crime rate and how to combat it. The President laid out his approach which includes cracking down on illegal firearms, holding rogue gun dealers accountable and allowing cities to use funds from the American Rescue Plan to hire more officers to advance community policing. The roundtable comes as gun sales surge across the nation. FOX Business Correspondent Hillary Vaughn joins to discuss. Plus, commentary by Fox News Senior Meteorologist Janice Dean.
