Summary

In today's episode, we sit down with Allie's dad, Ron Simmons, to discuss all the ins and outs of the H-1B controversy and what this means for the conservative movement and President-elect Trump's upcoming second term. We also go over the connections between Trump's potential reforms to the Department of Education and the H-1B visas and the workforce in the country at large. Ron gives us his predictions for Trump's second term and his insight into why there seems to be so little resistance from the Democrats on his election win. And we talk about our New Year's resolutions and what we want to accomplish in the year to come.
