Ep 449 | Silent Majority: Swing Voters Are to the Right of Trump Admin on Immigration: On today’s show, I explain how even swing voters are to the right of the entire political class on the issue of immigration. What some conservative elites think of as no-fly zones are no-brainers to the average swing voter. The American people want their concerns addressed, not the concerns of foreign nationals. And they want illegal immigration stopped, not funded or mollycoddled. We are joined by Arnold Mooney, father of Conservative Review co-founder Gaston Mooney, to update us on his run for Senate in Alabama. Mooney promises to be the same traditional conservative he is today on the day he leaves the Senate. He also explains the need to continue the legacy of Jeff Sessions on sovereignty where others are silent. We discuss spending, term limits, and China as well.
