- When Discussing The Rise Of Socialism In Cuba, Alfonso Said: “I Saw What Happens When Socialism Starts Gaining Ground Somewhere.” According to an interview with Michael Alfonso on the David Webb Show, “ALFONSO: This rise of socialism here in the United States, it's a really scary thing, especially for me and my family. My grandparents came to this country from Cuba. I saw what happens when socialism starts gaining ground somewhere. It turns into communism, and then you have to flee. But there's a big problem. There's nowhere to flee anymore. The United States is the last hope. It is why we need to defend our beliefs, faith, family, and freedom down to the last man. Truly.” [The David Webb Show, 7/28/26] (audio)
