In a recent episode of the BCS State of Alabama podcast, hosted by Christopher M. Peeks, owner of the Alabama Political Contributor (www.tobsal.com), and co-host Brandon Moseley, Congressman Barry Moore (R-AL) detailed his legislative vision and his bid for the U.S. Senate. Moore emphasized that his move to the Senate is focused on increasing his influence to drive President Trump’s "America First" agenda.
The Legislative Strategy: "Nuking" the Filibuster
One of Moore’s most critical points involved the Senate filibuster. Currently, most legislation requires a 60-vote threshold to pass, a rule Moore argues is being used to stall the administration’s progress.
"I'm at a point right now... I think we need to nuke it," Moore stated. He contended that with major holdouts no longer in the way, a simple majority is necessary to move forward on critical issues like election security and federal appropriations.
Conservative Priorities and Accomplishments
Moore highlighted his success in passing a veterans' bill into law and outlined his current Senate priorities:
Immigration Reform:
A bill targeting the deportation of illegal immigrants convicted of DUIs.
Protecting Minors: Federal legislation to ban transgender surgeries and hormone treatments for minors.
Space Command:
Moore credited the Alabamian delegation for securing Huntsville as the headquarters for Space Command, reversing a previous political decision to move it to Colorado.
Foreign Policy and National Security:
Moore discussed a strategic foreign policy approach, including support for the acquisition of Greenland to counter Russian and Chinese influence in the North. He also expressed deep skepticism regarding additional aid to Ukraine, citing a lack of oversight and reports of equipment disappearing in the field. Regarding Iran, Moore suggested that a regime change might eventually be necessary to secure freedom for the Iranian people.
Economic Growth and Alabama Infrastructure
To address the $38 trillion national debt, Moore advocates for aggressive tariffs and domestic production to stimulate the economy. He highlighted tariffs as a diplomatic tool that can prevent conflict while boosting American industry.
Locally, Moore emphasized the critical need to expand I-65 to six lanes from Mobile to the Tennessee line. He described this as a vital project for Alabama’s industrial growth and a necessary partnership between federal and state authorities.
A Cultural and Spiritual Stand
Moore concluded by framing the current political landscape as a "spiritual battle" for the country's future. As he campaigns for the Senate, his focus remains on a production-focused, conservative framework that prioritizes American interests first.
