Good interview. Well said, Tony.

Trump is going to put a stop to it...
They better line up with their money bags and 3 or 4 people to listen to 42 minutes ‘SPEECHES’ for a million bucks because the gravy train’s coming to a end. Trump’s NOT going to play stupid.
Tony you ignorant s*** it aint modern politics! In the EU it’s unabated muslims pouring into your shores! In America it’s the uniparty that created Trump and the We the People Party! It’s that simple!
