Brooke Rollins spent three years working for President Donald Trump in high-profile White House roles at the Office of American Innovation and the Domestic Policy Council. Now, she leads a new group of Trump administration alumni to defend the former president’s policy accomplishments and prepare for the future.
The mission of the America First Policy Institute is to develop and promote policies that put the American people first. “AFPI is truly the defender of the American dream, but also the American people,” Rollins tells me on “The Daily Signal Podcast.”
As president and CEO of the new organization, Rollins has assembled a team that includes former Small Business Administration head Linda McMahon, former National Economic Council chief Larry Kudlow, former Energy Secretary Rick Perry, and former National Intelligence Director John Ratcliffe.
“I think that no matter what we do as conservatives, we know our policies are righteous and we know that they work, and we know that they truly help those who need help the most,” Rollins says.
Also on today’s show, we read your letters to the editor and share a good news story about a Texas teacher who was honored by her community in a special way during Teacher Appreciation Week.
Rob Bluey: We are joined on “The Daily Signal Podcast” today by Brooke Rollins, who is president and CEO of the new America First Policy Institute. Brooke, welcome back to the podcast.
Brooke Rollins: Well, what an honor to be with you and all of my great friends at The Heritage Foundation, and all of your listeners. I couldn’t be more appreciative. Thank you so much, Rob.

Bluey: Well, it’s been a couple of years since we’ve had you on the show, and you’ve certainly accomplished a lot in that time, working for President [Donald] Trump and the White House. We’ll get to that in a bit, but I want to begin with your new organization, the America First Policy Institute. You’ve assembled some heavy hitters from the Trump administration to join you, and why don’t you begin by telling us about your mission and some of the policy priorities that you have?
Rollins: First and foremost, the America First Policy Institute, AFPI, what we call ourselves, is really a continuation, a fight, a collaboration, a movement that we really believe well, frankly, begun decades ago with the founders of The Heritage Foundation; the founders of the Texas Public Policy Foundation, my old think tank; National Review, Bill Buckley. I mean, we know the longtime history of the fight to keep America America, the Founding Fathers’ vision of liberty, and freedom, and opportunity.

They’re Trying to Shut Us Down
Over the last several months, I’ve lost count of how many times the powers-that-be have tried to shut us down. They’ve sent hackers at us, forcing us to take extreme measures on web security. They sent attorneys after us, but thankfully we’re not easily intimidated by baseless accusations or threats. They’ve even gone so far as to make physical threats. Those can actually be a bit worrisome but Remington has me covered.
For us to continue to deliver the truth that Americans need to read and hear, we ask you, our amazing audience, for financial assistance. We have a Giving Fuel page to help us pay the bills. It’s brand new so don’t be discouraged by the lack of donations there. It’s a funny reality that the fewer the donations that have been made, the less likely people are willing to donate to it. One would think this is counterintuitive, but sometimes people are skeptical because they think that perhaps there’s a reason others haven’t been donating. In our situation, we’re just getting started so please don’t be shy if you have the means to help.
Thank you and God bless!
