Summary
In recent elections, conservatives have seen large gains with Latino voters. But what is causing this increase in conservative Latino engagement? FreedomWorks vice president of policy Cesar Ybarra joins "The Daily Signal Podcast" to dive into the reasons.
"The Democrats label [Donald] Trump as the most racist, anti-Hispanic president in America in history, and what happened?" says Ybarra. "He increased his share of the Latino vote in those four years by nearly 10 points."
Issues that drive Hispanic voters, Ybarra says, include supporting law enforcement, increasing parental oversight of schools, and lowering prices. Listen to the full interview on the podcast, or read a lightly edited transcript below:

| 0:47.9 | Blinken also was clear about his concerns about doing a new fly zone. |
| 0:52.5 | Here's what he had to say via Bloomberg. |
| 0:55.3 | The no fly zone to be very clear about what that involves is that means that if Russian |
