The Daily Signal - Dania Alexandrino on George Soros and the Leftist Takeover of 18 Spanish-Language Radio Stations

A group associated with far-left billionaire George Soros is taking over 18 Spanish-language radio stations, including the iconic conservative talk station Radio Mambi.

“It's a stab in the heart of the community,” says Lourdes Ubieta, a former host at Radio Mambi.

Radio Mambi gained a reputation “as a station that serves the Cuban exile community,” Ubieta says, because it spoke openly about the harms of socialism and communism.

When Ubieta and her colleague Dania Alexandrino learned that Radio Mambi was going to be part of the new Latino Media Network, they determined it was time to leave. The new network reportedly is funded primarily by Lakestar Finance, an entity affiliated with Soros Fund Management.

"These people from the left, these Democrats, they believe that [by] buying these 18 radio stations, somehow they can control the opinion they deliver [to] the Hispanic community," Ubieta says.

Ubieta and Alexandrino join this episode of "The Daily Signal Podcast" to explain why the left is targeting conservative Spanish-language media and how Americano Media is working to furthering the values of faith, family, and patriotism.

Also on today’s show, we cover these stories:

The Senate prepares to vote on a bill that would enshrine same-sex and interracial marriage in federal law.
A bipartisan group of senators reach a deal to clarify the language of an old election law.
The median sales price of an American home hit $416,000 in June.

NPR's Book of the Day - The history of control over women and their bodies is central in ‘The Foundling’

Today's fictional book is set in very non-fictional circumstances. Novelist Ann Leary was trying to learn about her grandmother's history as an orphan and found that she worked at a eugenics asylum in Pennsylvania in the early 1900s. This became the basis of her story in the book 'The Foundling' which explores the state of women's rights, the relationship between it and eugenics, and a commentary over the long history of control over women's bodies.
