Summary

Bill talks with Robert Costa of the Washington Post about Roy Moore's win in Alabama, the failure of the GOP to repeal Obamacare, the debut of the Republican tax reform plan and what this all means for President Donald Trump. Then, Bill continues his interview with Steve Wynn about the RNC's record-fundraising hauls and why the Republican message continues to resonate throughout the country. Finally, Bill jumps into the NFL's national anthem controversy with Brian Kennedy of the American Strategy Group. The two defend Trump's position and explain why a lack of U.S. history knowledge is behind so many of our country's problems today.   To learn more about listener data and our privacy practices visit: https://www.audacyinc.com/privacy-policy Learn more about your ad choices.
