Beyond Borders: Why Immigration Is the Key to American Revival with Rob Haglund

Scott Groves welcomes back Robert Haglund—Air Force veteran, conservative radio producer, and author of Rescuing the American Project. Together, they rip into the myths surrounding nationalism, immigration, and globalism in 2025. They explore how America’s founding ideals—not race or identity politics—must fuel the country’s revival, and why the future depends on bold immigration reform paired with national pride. Drawing from real-world military, political, and cultural battlegrounds, Rob and Scott leave no stone unturned as they challenge conventional wisdom, expose political hypocrisy, and offer a tough-love roadmap for those serious about personal growth and saving the Republic. 🔥
