The Biden administration’s open border policy has worsened Vermont’s drug crime and housing shortage crises.
That was one of the takeaways from a Tuesday at Two July 30 phone interview, live from Bean Studios in Northfield, conducted by Guy Page and Paul Bean with Mark Serrano, President of Proactive Communications in Leesburg, VA, a top communications advisor to the 2016 and 2020 campaigns to elect Donald Trump.
The interview follows last Friday’s live interview with Gen. Michael Flynn. With these two interviews, and more to follow with them and other leaders, VDC-TV is committed to covering how national politics and policies affect Vermont.
As a consultant to the Vermont Energy Partnership, the instate not-for-profit that fought to keep carbon-free Vermont Yankee Nuclear Power Plant open, Serrano knows Vermont government and culture better than most greater D.C. political consultants. VDC Editor Guy Page was the communications director for the Vermont Energy Partnership from 2008-2017. In this 45 minute interview, we cover how:
1) in 2015, Serrano viewed Washington D.C. as ‘broken’ and that the GOP in particular needed an outsider candidate for president.
2) Serrano sees public opinion shaped by the Censorship Industrial Complex (media, government) on behalf of a Military Industrial Complex seeking endless wars.
3) The Harris/Biden administration’s claim that Trump ‘is an existential threat to Democracy’ is belied by its own fondness for using the law to attack political opponents and a party oligarchy to select its leaders.
4) A Trump administration would impact Vermont’s housing, drug abuse, and climate change policy challenges.
On Thursday, Paul Bean will interview GOP Chair Paul Dame live. The guest and/or topic for Friday at Four are still TBD.
