Robby Starbuck - Congressional Candidate | SRS #018
i hope everybody had a merry christmas and a happy new year this is the first episode. of 2022 and it's an extremely important one not my typical episode he's a congressional. candidate representing tennessee and if he wins these are the type of people that have the. potential to shape the country so you might want to pay attention to this one.
this is important stuff let's get right into it cheers. one more thing i just want to say thank you guys for all the support thank you for being here. love all you guys out robbie starbuck welcome to the show thank you i love how it feels like. an interrogation you know kind of like this setup it it feels and i like it i like it i think that's.
a good environment to put people under every member running for congress or in congress should. have to sit through one of these except they should have to have truth serum before they do. it i'm totally down for that wouldn't that be great i actually said this i pitched this. to a lot a lot of people actually i'm like if you want to run for public office. what is the excuse for not wanting to answer questions after taking truth serum wouldn't that. be a good barometer for running for public office so like that people could ask like every question.
the person just could not lie about it so you reminded me of that i would love to do it right. here right in this room but um so you're running for congress representing tennessee in 2022. you called yourself a political refugee from california uh the first time we spoke on the. phone and after reading a little bit about you i know you have a a really successful production. company and i read that when you came out in 2015 and announced that you were a republican that.
you lost 85 i think it was 85 percent of your business uh sounded like pretty much overnight. and then you said um that you thought that was the biggest sin uh that your company. would take or or biggest hit and then you endorsed donald trump yeah and um so anyways. what what was the backlash literally overnight when you did that yeah i mean it goes so far.
that you know what the business side my wife and i we did expect um to be totally fair we. understood the environment in hollywood we knew it was going to go that direction. and it helped so much to have a wife who gets it and is 100 on the same page and is like on my team. because there's a lot of spouses i don't think would would push you towards doing that they. would push you towards preserve our our well-being preserve our status you know and all those things. and she didn't care i mean she's from the south she's like you have a duty to do this you know.
so she understood why it mattered so much to me because of my family's history in cuba. to do this and that helped a lot what upset me the most though. really the only thing that upset me was how my kids and wife were treated as a result. you know that overnight scenario didn't just hurt my business it was overnight with my kids. too people they had grown up with where they were really good friends sleepovers and every birthday.
and all that stuff um regularly hanging out with each other full-on ghosting by their parents the. minute they found out that we were conservative wow you know and it was that quick because. for them their immediate reaction was we have to preserve our social status you know because. these some of these people are celebrities and well-known and stuff and they that's what. they want to do they're concerned about their social status not i know these people's hearts. these are good people their kids and my kids are close friends have grown up together none of that.
matters you know this is all ideological but in another way as upsetting as that was it was. also freeing because every part of it i think one of the most valuable lessons i learned. was that a lot of people go through life thinking they have a certain number of friends. and they never truly know who their friends are i feel like i'm one of the luckiest people because i. really found out who my friends were and it's it's a lot smaller of a group than most people think.
yeah you know the people that will show up for you that will fight for you that will stand by you. that'll take the hits and i highly recommend it to people because i would much rather go. through life with that tiny group of people who you know you guys ride together you will. always have their back you'll always be there for their family you know if. if they died god forbid you would take care of their kid and make sure their kid got through. college type of thing i would much rather have that friend group than have thousands of friends.
who are never really your friends because they never got to know who you really are you know. i i'm right there with you and i can totally relate to that um moving on to california so. california is like a whole other world uh that that i'm not familiar with but i hear all about it. and i kind of just want to pick your brain up what what was the final straw where you would just. pat it you're done i'm moving to tennessee i want to be you know it actually was not a specific.
final straw it was more so a my wife and i knew analytically for a very long time we wanted to. move to the south we wanted to move to tennessee i had worked in tennessee directing some stuff. and my wife had worked in tennessee as a songwriter and so we knew we loved tennessee. i mean and we had always known that and it was kind of like our dream you know we're gonna. have a farm in tennessee and we're gonna end up raising our kids there and um so we knew that but. some things did develop along the way that confirmed for us that like you guys are doing.
the right thing and not only the right thing at this point in our life i would say that moving. to tennessee was the single best decision we ever made outside of getting married and having kids. um and you know it's one of those things where you can almost. try to pin it down to one thing but it's a lot of different things but if i had to pin it down. you know there were moments like our son he was in this montessori school where there's a mix of ages.
but the oldest was about first grade age and there was a meeting at the school. and they told us that um this boy would be transitioning and becoming a girl and that you had. to call them a certain name and all that stuff and that they were going to be wearing girls clothes. and did you say first grade yes i did and my wife's sitting next to me and she's like she's. like robbie what do you don't do it don't don't do it here i was like i have to do it.
and i just i i spoke up and i was like you know i'm not to begrudge this but i dug a little deeper. with it and it was essentially like where did this come from you know like how did you know. that your son wanted to be a girl you know and they said well there's a lot of different things. but him and his friend you know came in the room and it's these two moms are best friends keep in. mind that are in this class like they came in the room they're wearing dresses and they're so happy.
you know and we just knew and i was like well what were you guys doing though and it turns out they. were watching rupaul's drag race and so in my mind immediately i'm like connecting the dots i'm like. obviously these kids saw moms give attention to this we're gonna go dress up as this we come in. we get attention we get validated so then the moms do that but it was a short time later our son um. because he was leaving at the end of that quarter we had had enough with all this and.
he saw the boy crying and our son's very empathetic and he tried to go up to the. boy and essentially say like hey are you okay type thing and he was crying because he said he. didn't want to wear the clothes that his mom made him and it just confirmed the pathology. of all of this of what's happening there it's like this psychosis that's infected everything. and they've i mean i see this as as blatant child abuse and it's it doesn't stop there i. think what people don't understand is this isn't just infecting those very frontal things you see.
it's infecting everything and so everything about growing up in a place like that is poison it's. just toxicity all the time our oldest daughter the school didn't notify us at a different school. they didn't notify us they were gonna have a white privilege teacher come in and tell all the kids. that they're white privileged and that you can't sit at lunch um without a minority present anymore. because it makes minorities not feel included and my daughter came home and she's like i don't. really know what to make this whole thing and she explains it to me and i was like well you should.
ask them next time what they think you are and she was like what do you mean and i was like just ask. them ask them what they think you are and you can teach them a lesson you have the power to teach. them a lesson because they're going to say you're white and you can actually let them know that your. family's cuban and you actually have african in you and you have all these other things and that. they need to learn that they're the ones creating the problem they're the ones teaching kids to. identify each other by their skin color instead of their character and their reality and i find.
that whole thing so toxic they're teaching kids to identify each other as oppressors are oppressed. there's nothing more dangerous than that because what you're doing i mean they're. they're creating racial hierarchies and we're gonna see the effects of that for a long time. and what's really sad about it is it's entirely divorced from the original civil rights struggle. you know it's entirely divorced from the ideas of martin luther king entirely and so in a weird.
way we've sort of become the champions you know i know we were going to talk about critical race. there we've become the champions for martin luther king's dream of seeing each other by character. instead of the color of each other's skin but it's totality of all those things seeing that poison. everywhere how long has this been going on you know what's interesting this actually happened. i would pinpoint it to a period of time a lot of people wouldn't think of and it was about. i'd say i wanna and i'd be i may be off by a couple of years here i want to say it was about.
14 years ago california started what was a rural health care initiative attaching health care to. education and that was the beginning of the end of parents having a say in the in the education. system and essentially once academia took over a parental role it changed everything because i. would identify public schools in california as essentially taking on a parent role and they've. completely obliterated parental rights i just saw a video the other day parents in a california.
county where they had actually been told by their daughter that the school had helped her transition. into a boy without ever telling the parents they were all calling her by a different name. and a different pronoun and all this stuff parents had no clue until she had told them. much later beyond they had already been giving her counseling and all this stuff during school. hours that the parents had no clue about and that's the role these schools are eking into.
because something that sounded nice in the beginning to people. oh we're going to help people who don't have access to health care your average person hears. that and they think nothing of it but the reality is it was an opening to taking on parental rights. and that took on a whole different struggle in its own because it's given them a license essentially. to say we can teach these kids anything we know what's best for them not their parents. and that's something we should see is equally dangerous in our own state because our own. secretary of education here she's actually pushing a rural health care initiative right now.
this was also an access point for getting abortion into schools in california because that created. that parent or i'm sorry the the doctor patient confidentiality and all that that they're treating. as mature minors in california well we have a mature minor law in tennessee as well. that says essentially after 12 miners can be mature enough to make their own medical decisions. without their parents knowing this is another thing i believe we have to get off the books. because i think if you want to fix our our problems in this country a lot of them can be.
brought back to cultural problems and if you want to fix our culture you have to fix our families. and you know when you look at strong countries they have strong families they have strong. identities we don't have one anymore we don't have strong families we don't have a strong identity. but we do have permissiveness over time that's continued and gotten worse that breaks apart the. family that's permissiveness towards child rights which is going to lead into a whole other area. i guarantee you this is going to end you see right now the un is already calling for child.
sexual rights it's going to continue into a place where they normalize pedophilia even. and you see this in the sexual health programs that they're launching in. africa their cse programs that essentially essentially are even teaching them that if. you're hiv positive you don't have a duty to tell your partner really okay. so this stuff it goes way further but it starts at that permissiveness of taking away parental rights.
how many people do you think are becoming more and more aware of this is does this all fall under. that critical race theory i mean more people are waking up every day but i'll to give you an idea. for my wife and i it's interesting because you know we had talked about this issue um. started talking about it about six to seven years ago and a lot of people come up to us. now and are like oh thank you for talking about that we've been talking about it like that it's. a long time period of waking people up you know and it is interesting in california we had some.
soft liberal friends i'll call them because they actually did believe in liberalism i don't. generally call people on the left liberal because they're not very liberal anymore. but these types of people were they're like the soft liberals that believe in free speech they. believe in all that stuff but they voted democrat okay at the time when we warned them about cse. in the schools coming into the schools in california and we warned them about critical. race theory and all those things they treated us like we were insane they would never do this stuff. they would never teach that stuff in school okay i have gotten calls from every single one of our.
our former acquaintances or former friends who said that stuff apologizing every single. one has been affected by critical race theory or cse now in their kids schools and so more. people are waking up but it's a continued effort this isn't going to stop until we make it stop. you know until this gets banned and you know the other thing too that people have to keep in mind. corporate america has a responsibility here a lot of people don't know this about a place like.
cuba and there's a reason we don't teach about communism in school and that reason is if people. really knew how communism came to be and how it worked we would ne it would never be a discussion. we wouldn't have socialists of america democratic socialist america none of this stuff would exist. okay because what people miss is the only way castro got to power was corporations helped him. okay almost nobody knows that in america that the corporations were behind him well who's. behind the left-wing woke ideologies pushing all this stuff who's behind doing a commercial where.
santa kisses a guy no you know did you see that commercial no it's a recent commercial. um and it's not that you know it's not even an attack on on people who are gay it's just like. this is a cultural identity thing santa has never culturally been identified as a gay man. you know even i have gay republican friends who were like this ad is it's horrible yeah it's. horrific for kids that like that's not the idea they have of santa you know and um all of this.
stuff though until we as a group collectively say we've had enough of the corporations doing. this and pushing this and we're not going to give companies who hate us our money anymore it won't. change the way it needs to but i do think we're on the path there but people have to recognize that. these corporations do have a large part to play in this because they have essentially chosen the. side because they think it's safer to be lined up to become oligarchs than they do to actually have.
to fight with each other in a free market because let me give you an example in a true free system. twitter facebook and google and amazon have to all compete with each other on multiple fronts. okay and in the end if you look out a hundred years from now theoretically one or two of them. should no longer exist okay but under a system like this marxist technocracy that they're trying. to build and that they've all essentially aligned themselves to they all can have their peace.
and everybody survives and they all get the importance the status the the power you know. that's what matters to them so they've chosen that side for a reason because their survival. it works under that they can do it as long as the ruling party is on their side they're going. to survive they're going to eat well it doesn't really matter what happens to the rest of us same. idea that they had in places like cuba when this happened and same thing that happened in places. like venezuela the corporations were largely behind chavez and now you know with maduro because.
it's later on they're not so much you know on the same page but they were in the beginning yeah. before we move into uh kind of the big tech stuff critical race theory i saw a video you did on it. or a speech that you did on it on on your youtube channel and you talked about where it came. from who kind of developed it can you go into a little bit of that yeah so you know there's a few.
chief architects i think one of the most important to point out is the one who's most prominent right. now and that would be ibrahim kennedy because kendy's pushing this throughout every segment of. culture he's got a multi-million dollar netflix deal he's at every university um and to give. you an idea of i mean i think i kind of already explained for those who don't know critical race. theory is essentially putting these kids in those buckets of you're oppressed or you're an oppressor. and that's that and here's the reasons why and then the kids then see each other that way okay um. it's not just race though it's not it's not just race so this is intrinsically tied to economic.
systems and the political system so um throughout you know the stuff we saw last year the riots and. all that that were very racial um ibram had this book there's just all over the country i mean. it was a number one seller and it was in a lot of suburbia and it's called how to be an anti-racist. okay in the book it explicitly says and i think this is the line that should be attached to. critical race theory forever it says you cannot be an anti-racist unless you are an anti-capitalist.
okay so that assigns a political system to that racial hierarchy and says that. you can never not be racist unless you oppose capitalism and that's what suburbia was taking. in that book is now pushed in every segment of academia in our high schools and colleges. in every popular book club across america it's you know you go into a barnes and noble and you. go into racial justice or something like that if a kid is so inclined to read about civil rights or.
whatever that book is what's going to be on the front that's what's going to be pushed on them. and those ideas when you're most impressionable let's say in college they know the social dynamic. college is like a really interesting case study because it's in a lot of ways designed similarly. to a cult you know and i think that it is helping create this new identity for young people. where we're seeing you know obviously the numbers of people who are attaching themselves to fringe. ideologies are higher than they've ever been and that has to do with the fact that they're.
being put in these social boxes that pressure them into accepting these ideas as normal and that's a. big part of the problem here why are they saying what does being a capitalist have to do with being. so their argument essentially is that capitalism is intrinsically um built to benefit white people. and that unless you're opposing it you know you're opposing the struggle for equality or.
equity actually is the term that by the way if you ever hear the term equity run run for. the hills run as far as you can equity is one of the like key words so say you're a kid you know. here's another problem a lot of parents send their kids to private schools and they think i'm sending. my kid to private school so they're not gonna be here with these issues we'll wake up call look and. see if your private school has a new dei person working for the school diversity equity inclusion. okay if they do run for the hills your school is now taken over by marxists that's the only.
way you get a dei person in and sadly when they started putting in dei people there were a lot of. good people good-hearted people who see it and they say well i want my school to be inclusive. i want my school to be diverse i'm not opposed to those things i'm a good person. and they don't see it's a front for these ideologies that oppose capitalism it's a front. for these ideologies that want to pit us into racial groups and want to make us hate each other. that's what it really is about they want racial tension they want racial struggle they don't want.
us the most dangerous thing for them is us all getting along that is the single most dangerous. thing to the elite in the world to the globalists in the world is all of us looking past our skin. color and getting along and working together towards a movement that would serve the people. that's the most dangerous thing for them yeah well where where did this where is. this coming from and what's the end goal is it the government or is it soros power globalist.
power it's all about power it's about power and control you know this is ultimately you know. the struggle of humanity you know from the beginning of time everything's about power. and control yeah everything always has been i think that even if you're fighting for good. it ultimately still is about power and control even if you're fighting for let's say god's. mission okay because i really feel like i would not be running for congress if i didn't feel like. i was called by by god to do this because um i don't want to and i think honestly if you wake up.
in life and you're like your whole life dream is to run for congress and and have power over people. you're probably a little bit of a sociopath um that was not my life dream it was like it was. more of a a like we have to do this you know i mean even if you're of that mindset the truth is. it's about power and control for different reasons it's about power and control for the people for me. i want people to be in control again our founders wanted that power in control they didn't want.
the king to have that power and control they wanted the people to and so ultimately it all. goes back to those things the reality is though is a certain subset of people understand they. can only get that power and control through means that are going to hurt normal people. you know because they fundamentally do disagree with us on a number of things and we can't get. past that and so when they build that out they say okay well these are broadly popular things. though so how do we get people there well you have to create chaos that's what that's a hallmark of.
let's say soros everything soros does is about creating chaos because he makes money from. devaluing uh currencies okay to devalue currencies you have to create chaos within the country. and then beyond that if you want power you want to elect people in those countries. that would normally not be electable you have to create chaos with the people who would be. electable which is what they did over these past few years to change the identity of a country. you have to go even more local and smaller than that so that's where soros got the plan to go.
and invest in d.a races these district attorney races by the way in the past were five figure. races you know they were not these huge events they were you know maybe thirty thousand dollars. or fifty thousand dollars for a campaign budget or something you know maybe a hundred thousand. soros is dropping millions into these races and electing absolute radicals you know um the people. ironically the most famous prosecutors in our country are pretty much all soros prosecutors. okay kim fox in chicago she was responsible for not prosecuting jessie smallett okay and they.
had to name an independent prosecutor she was also in collusion with people like kamala harris. and michelle obama talking to them about what a great person jesse is and ultimately refused. to prosecute for political reasons thank god we got somebody in there who ended up independently. prosecuting the case and proving what he did was done to create racial tension it was done again. to create that racial strife that they want they want the chaos yeah.
you know and then you look at a place like st louis gardner that's another soros d.a she charged. the mccloskey family who protected their home when their home was assaulted by rioters yeah and she. charged them you look at places like larry krasner philadelphia all these places in the country. common theme chaos the looting the law is saying we don't prosecute people who shoplift under 950. we don't basically essentially we don't actually prosecute illegal things anymore releasing.
people even child molesters from prison during covid under the auspice that this is about health. we have to free these people because it's so dangerous like i'm sorry anybody of a sound mind. in america if you said hey are you worried about a child molester in prison possibly getting coveted. if there's anybody in the world who's saying yes to that question i have questions for them you. know because you're not of sound mind somebody of sound mind would not be worried about that yeah. i i was watching another interview and also just to reiterate on the da's uh that soros is funding.
it seemed like all of them uh and there was a ton of cities listed i think you were on tucker. and that's where they were talking about it all of these cities where these da's are becoming elected. they're beating the prior murder uh their murder records oh so okay this is a number everybody in. america should know everybody okay past 12 months murders have risen by 30 okay if you're not.
familiar with crime statistics you might go that doesn't seem wild right i mean it seems like semi. the next closest is 12.7 for a 12 month period in history and that was the year martin luther king. jr was was killed wow and so a large segment of that unrest and the added murders and everything. was apparently you know a lot of historians have associated it to the unrest that happened because. of his assassination which obviously is a huge cultural moment but that divide between 12.7.
percent and a 30 rise that is massive and what you would expect is normally during a crime rise if. it's associated to a significant singular event is that it would shoot up and then shoot down. that's not what's happening it's going up and up and up and up it's still rising right now. yeah and this is not just happening in big cities this is bleeding out to the places outside of the. big cities and i do think that you know some people have asked me what do you think the. big issues of 2022 are going to be when you get near election day i think um crime is one of the.
top three i think that the economy and freedom generally when it comes to things like mandates. and things along those lines and then crime are the three big issues those are the three that are. going to drive people to get there critical race theory is and education is right there it's like. if you had to do a 1a1b thing um but those are the issues that are going to drive people out. well moving into that i got another question for you and there's just so much going on in.
the country that's going to fundamentally change just everyday life especially for our kids and. you know everything from open borders critical race theory no term limits on politicians which. but never has been uh the the rise in crime there's just all these things the freedom. coveted back vaccine mandates everything what do you think that the biggest threat. is to the united states inside of its borders is to include to include the southern border.
hey guys let me tell you about this subscription service that i've been working real hard. on called vigilance elite patreon basically on patreon we haven't broken up into three. different tiers we've got tier one tier two and tier three let's dive in our tier one patrons get. all the behind the scenes footage of the sean ryan show that could include behind the scenes.
photos that could be side conversations that we have in between breaks that could be specific. questions that our patrons give us for the guests on the sean ryan show and a ton of bonus. content that doesn't really fit into any specific category for our tier 2 patrons they get access. to our tactical training library which consists of well over 100 videos we've broken those videos. up into separate categories and those categories are rifle fundamentals pistol fundamentals drills.
tactics driving gear and weapon setups and everybody's favorite mindset also on tier two. you will get a live update from me on the first and the fifteenth of every month where. we talk about the upcoming guests on the sean ryan show plus all the benefits of tier one. our top tier which is tier three gets full access to all the other tiers plus they get full access.
to me where we do video teleconferencing vtc once a month we discuss anything from. tactics to current events to who's coming on the show i take suggestions and it's very interactive. no matter what tier you choose the support is greatly appreciated and it is the only. thing that makes the show drive on so thank you for all the support see you on patreon.
the democratic party the democratic party is a whole as a whole um not necessarily it's voters. because there are some good people who vote democrat that just they don't understand the. reality of where the party's going in total all the things you described those are all.
because of the existence of the current far left democratic party they're no longer a liberal party. try to drive that home to people all the time um and if you don't believe me look up the word. liberal and you're gonna quickly find out it does not describe them they are not liberal these are. left-wing authoritarian fascists they want total control over our lives over everything. and unless they get that they will keep pushing and pushing and even once they get it they won't. be satisfied communists are never satisfied marxists are never satisfied authoritarians.
are never satisfied because they're always looking over their shoulder they're always. trying to figure out because they stepped on so many people along the way to get there. who's coming for me i have to get more control more authority and that's what will continue. as a product of what they're doing now so that's the most dangerous internally and. i don't see that changing unless the american people send a message in the following couple. of elections to make it very clear that america is not going to be and does not want to be a.
socialist or a communist country yeah do you think that that's possible yes because amazon facebook. twitter netflix those are all i mean that's that's what people see yep the news network they're going. to be working against us absolutely no question and they it's about their survival again because. they know that if we take the majority and a group of people like me are lawmakers they are not going.
to end up in a good position i don't want to do hearings we've had enough hearings americans. are sick of hearings they want action they want somebody who's willing to go in there and just. absolutely do whatever is necessary to get the job done and these companies you know we talked about. capitalism earlier and what's interesting is a lot of people who kind of they don't know a lot about.
politics but they become soft socialists as young you know high school college age. a lot of it's predicated off of stories they hear about amazon actually where they go like amazon's. such a horrible company look how they treat their workers yeah amazon is a horrible company they. treat their workers like dirt these guys are in their trucks like 20 hours a day men and women. and are literally peeing in bottles you know to get their job done they're hard workers absolutely. but amazon is abusing them no doubt but how did amazon get here how did amazon get the power that.
they have because it actually was not capital capitalism it was a perversion of capitalism. capitalism in its purest sense would have never allowed something like amazon to exist because. in a capitalist market you need to turn a profit within a certain time period or you're just not. going to survive amazon had a totally different approach to it they said look if we run a loss for. x amount of years we're going to be able to gain x market share if we have this giant market share.
as a result of that loss but power because they were able to grow as they do this we're going. to be able to kill enough small businesses along the way where we'll have no competition okay this. whole strategy violates every anti competitive law in america every antitrust law in america but. nobody at department of justice ever went after them that's a reason why when you hear amazon. didn't pay their taxes they didn't pay their taxes because they ran at a loss on purpose for so long.
this is all by design yeah and so a company like that theoretically in capitalism should. not exist because they went beyond the scope of pure capitalism and they went to essentially. what i would describe as fraud it's it's a crime is it too late to it's not too late you. can still do it you can still do it right now you'll still be able to for the next 10 years. and so we need to have the people in there who are willing to do what is necessary to do that. and you know so the question about can we do this are we going to have a chance of winning to the.
degree we need to to be able to do that this is why powerful people hate the internet so much and. why you see such a push to censor the internet because we do have a chance and it's because of. open access on the internet and while big tech is trying to censor us they've done it to me. they've suspended me they've done all types of things they just can't quite shut us up you know. there's all these other avenues online opening up and you may lose access to a certain group of.
people but in general we are able to reach enough people still to be able to win these elections. that's with all think about this with all of the rigging that they've done. with all of the algorithms and the exposure to information that the powers that be want people. to see the choosing of what narrative you'll see every news channel aside from two in existence. parroting their lines their narrative still we're not just competitive but we won an election.
recently for president okay that's with google having the ability by itself just google. of flipping millions of votes on their own just through their search results. that they show people that by itself should tell people everything our ideas are broadly. popular with people and if given equal footing we will dominate we will dominate. in every facet i think a lot of people lose faith because they don't see they lose faith in.
conservatives because they don't it's it's hard to find information you know and um. they need another avenue immediately absolutely and i think that's a real problem you know i'm. excited to see what truth social does because you know trump being behind it. will add a gravity in terms of the number of users who sign up i think and i think it will lead to.
some people who hate trump signing up too because they just want to see what's going on which builds. you a number of people necessary to make it a real competitor and i think that that is going to be. a positive for the marketplace of ideas because suddenly the big tech companies are going to have. to face the fact that they're not in collusion with this other option people have because. right now it's fairly easy for them facebook and twitter they work in conjunction with.
each other on banning people on a regular basis in youtube you know as part of google. um they do it all together so you know tap into a number of people i know where one day they wake up. they're banned by twitter and a couple hours later they're banned by instagram a couple hours later. their youtube shut down and they all work together but now that they have this outside competitor. you know and they're working with rumble so rumble and truth social will have their own. different you know deal if they build this out the right way and the servers and everything there's. not issues in the beginning which is something that they need to make a priority is make sure.
everything is just running beautifully they have a real chance to create a real competitor. because once you're not able to collude with a company you don't know what's coming and you also. have to start questioning your own actions hey are we going to lose our market share on advertising. because of the decision we're about to make they have to think those things through and suddenly. the companies that are all in collusion together have to start thinking independently of themselves. too because suddenly they all have to worry about an outside competitor so i'm excited to see what.
truth social does but i do think that to really fix this problem we do need an internet bill of. rights for the people and that's something i'm going to be releasing soon which is a a new. contract for america that essentially is a list of of our promise to the american people about. the priorities that we'll have and one of those is an internet bill of rights that guarantees. our ability to exercise free speech in the public square and recognizes that the public square is. now places on social media and that that public square is a necessity not just for your liberties.
to be exercised but also for your livelihood i know a lot of people who you know in wildfires. they didn't go to the news for information they went to twitter they went to facebook because. they had quicker access to information that they needed life-saving information for let's say like. i actually know somebody that's happened to where their horses needed to be saved in a wildfire and. they weren't there they used social media to be able to get a stranger they didn't know.
to save their horses okay that that ability of connectivity i feel like is something that. it has a practice and purpose beyond just access for your free speech but also your. access to public safety information because la fire department or nashville pd they're giving. information faster many times on social media than they are through traditional news so once a. company bans somebody from their ability to access that they're now affecting the ability to get. public information that's what you know good point and so all of those things need to be fixed too.
that's a damn good point didn't apple just shut down didn't apple come out and say that they're. not gonna host uh the app for truth i don't know about that i haven't heard that but if. they do say that they're gonna have major uh legal issues and that will end up in in um. truth social's favor because it's very clear-cut law on anti-competitive behavior and because they. run an app store that is exclusive to their phone and they don't allow their phones to download a.
secondary app store it's uh it's what the law is already defined as anti-competitive behavior and. so it'll just take some time but it'll end up at the supreme court and it'll very quickly um end up. in in truth favors or truth socials favor oh good moving on external threats to the u.s so we have. china we just pulled out of afghanistan and gave taliban complete power taiwan's.
on the precipice of disaster exactly ukraine russia uh the border and all the cartel stuff. that's going on down there that are coming across uh what do you think that the biggest external. threat to the us is right now it's china no question but i will mention one thing for people. to recognize our own failures on foreign policy it took us four presidents trillions of dollars. and millions of lives affected for us to take afghanistan from being under control of the.
taliban to being under control of the taliban we have no business in these countries and how. many young men did we send to die a lot way too many one was too many we have no business there. culturally the fact that our political class couldn't identify that this was a place where. they did not want to be a democracy like ours they did not want freedom like ours. it says a lot about their ability to make good decisions and it's why i think we need.
normal people in office again because we're not divorced from these realities these are these. are about things of of you know sort of political correctness the people in dc don't want to admit. that the culture in afghanistan is very different from the culture in the us they don't want to. admit that the way that they treat their women is very different than we are here they don't want to. admit the permissiveness of pedophilia in a place like afghanistan you know you don't think we ever. should have been there at all i i think we should have stayed at a stayed out of it i was always on.
the train of rand paul and ron paul we had we had no business there and we had to protect our people. what we should have done is send in our people to kill the people responsible for anything that. happened in the u.s targeted teams not democracy making not nation-building you know so like we. have a responsibility to protect our people safety of our country absolutely but you know. we can do that much more effectively with really strong well-trained teams of our very best people.
we didn't do that we went there to nation build we went there for a myriad of economic reasons for. control reasons for power reasons and for flexing reasons and in the end we ended up embarrassing. ourselves as a country you know we lost that veneer of strength that we had for so long. we had a veneer of strength nobody wants to mess with america and we lost it entirely through what. we did there you don't think we maybe we should have kept a couple of bases open because of china. so once we were there yes you know now that we're there calculus changes we need to keep background.
you know i think is is a big one we needed to keep that it was strategic base it kept you know a lot. of um things at bay because china is essentially in control of of afghanistan now um and that is. going to be a channel for them to take control of other parts of of the world they're also in. control of all of africa essentially you know this is going to turn into a major issue and it's why. i said china's number one because china doesn't hide from the fact that their goal is domination.
including of the united states of america they don't hide it they have a 100 year plan they're. dedicated to it they're astute they're smart they're stronger year over year they're ruthless. this is a group of people that are you know essentially at the very least if i was giving them. a compliment it would be that they're nationalists in a certain sense that they believe in. the chinese well-being of their country and their party above all else not so much their people but.
of their their country and their party and that results in them being willing to do whatever is. necessary for that and so in that respect in terms of you know if you're looking at it like a war. you know they're dedicated to doing whatever is necessary they're not worried about. what's going to be popular in the news you know um recently there was a story where. china essentially said that they're cracking down on the feminization of men okay um in the u.s. people were like that's so bad that's so mean and they're like no we identified that in the military.
we're going to have a problem if we don't do that in the u.s now instead we're saying how do we. be more inclusive let's change our entry standards let's change our training standards so we can be. more inclusive of more feminized males yeah you know where do we think that's going in 20 years. you know not good places it's not going good places and it's like some people don't want to. talk about this because they're like oh i'm going to sound mean or i'm going to say it's there's.
nothing mean about the reality of war except for the reality of war like if you don't talk. about it what's going to be mean is what happens in 20 years yeah i don't think there's going to. be another ground war but i pray you're going to be a lot of tech i appreciate just from the time. when i was at war to to the end of my career that tech has completely they've taken over so much uh. so much of of every aspect of what goes on and more and it's just advancing it well this is the.
frustration i actually had when we were at wars that we had a lot of technology we didn't use. that we didn't empower our soldiers with that we didn't give them to protect themselves. there's so many people who died unnecessarily because. they weren't given the technology despite the mass trillions of dollars that we were spending. that money wasn't always protecting our soldiers that wasn't the priority that's true you know.
and that'll always bother me but i pray you're right about a ground war because if. anybody would be willing to go to a ground war it's china russia on the flip side you. know i'm not as concerned about russia long term their economy is nowhere near. china's their actual global power is nowhere near that in fact i think we do russia a favor. by treating them the way that we treat them we treat them beyond um the power that we should.
we treat them as if they have power that they don't that they really don't in reality you know. if you look at their their stretch i mean they're a big country most of it's ice you know and people. never recognize that like this is not a gigantic place california has a higher gdp you know um. it's interesting from that standpoint that we give them the power that we do. now in terms of you know threats i think we have to be realistic and look at you know russia is. also threatened by some things we do you know like if we put ships out in the black sea.
we have to imagine how would we feel too if russia was putting ships outside of florida yeah. you know so the fact that they are in that tit for tap for us shouldn't be surprising. to people i mean we're doing something that if was it was being done to us we would be. upset about um and so from that aspect i'm not really so much worried about them i think that. they're somebody we have to keep an eye on but china is the one we have to worry about. in your opinion what do we do if china takes taiwan do we step in i think that we have a duty.
to step in but i don't you know it's so weird because a president really defines a lot of. what we should do and with joe biden in office i'm afraid of us doing something because we're. going to do it poorly we're going to be weak and we're going to get dominated. and it's going to expose our weaknesses even further i feel like taiwan is quickly becoming. like the israel yeah if trump was president i have no question about what we had to do.
because the strength and the um unpredictability adds so many things to us. you know millie wouldn't be there if trump was president right now millie would be gone. and so millie's another person i worry about because that's a man who's not interested in. winning a war it's a man who's interested in power and interested in being you know socially accepted. and that's the wrong place to be leading an army leading soldiers you know.
so i'm worried about that but i do think that with the right circumstances we do have a duty because. taiwan is an independent people and it's sort of like. you know if we really mean it a lot of people say never again okay uh with the holocaust. if you mean that you need to recognize that china is doing that right now they have concentration. camps of the uyghurs you know their incursion into taiwan would be essentially creating.
concentration camps so no question of taiwanese people who resisted um and who just want. their freedom and so we do have to ask that question you know there's a difference between. a country changing fundamentally because of elections you know if you elect a communist. leadership group it's a very different prospect than china invades and forces you to lose your. freedom and if that was being done to us or um you know to our friends that we're really close with.
we would fight for them um because we would want them to fight for us and so we do have to do. something i just fear it happening under biden and i think it's the perfect circumstance for china. to go after taiwan is with biden as president and they know that so i think they if i was a betting. man i would bet on them going and invading taiwan at some point while he's president yeah i bet. you're right i hope to god that doesn't happen me too um so i want to start wrapping things up but.
a 2024 presidential run by trump is that what's best for the united states. yes 100 100 percent 100 that's what's best um trump has unfinished business he has a great team. of people that um you know i believe that term would be the most effective term of a president. in history because the team that he has assembled now that was ready to go in for a second term. are people who are there to get the job done they're not there to sell books or any of the.
you know all the the glitz and glamour of of you know that political world these are these. are doers these are people who are ideological warriors and are there for the right reasons. um so i do think it's what's best also if you talk about it just from political standpoint. politically if it's anybody aside from trump and trump is also running. you're talking about us fighting a war within our own party then instead of fighting a common enemy. whereas trump has the base he has the rallies he has the crowds he has the energy he also.
has regret you know the regret of the people who wish they had voted for him now when they fill up. the gas in their cars the people who are like you know what the mean tweets were not so bad. you know they're like i'll take the mean tweets again um the reality is i think some people are. learning too that sometimes things they didn't like were useful like those mean tweets because. um you look at oil if you're mad when your gas you know tank is two times more than it was last year.
you got to think about those mean tweets because who controls gas prices opec does they control oil. opec was afraid of trump trump tweeted at them did mean tweets at them scared the leadership of opec. and opec ultimately was like this dude's crazy we don't know what he's gonna do we're we're not. touching we're not we're not touching it we're not going after him and pissing him off okay that is a. good thing that resulted in good things for you it gave you that two dollar gas you know so you. may not like it in a country club but in reality it was effective and got the job done okay um so.
there's a lot of people who are recognizing things that they thought they didn't like are not so bad. now you know and they're like actually i would be a lot happier with trump as president right now. you know not only can he actually put together a coherent thought he can read a teleprompter unlike. our current president but he can actually ignite respect from world leaders in a way that biden's. not able to if he doesn't run who would you like to see on that ballot desantis desantis and.
as his vice president i would say um actually i'm going to go with an outside the box pick here um i. would love to see candace owens as vp um in either a second trump term or a desantis term because. she's outside the box she's fierce she breaks a lot of the democrats leading arguments against. our party she puts up with no bs and she knows her stuff she knows policy she knows numbers.
she is somebody no democrat wants to debate and i feel like she would be a strong face for the party. in a strong wingman for a strong president and eventually maybe a president herself do you think. she would be open to that i do i think she would be i mean i'm not speaking for her i am friends. with her i've never talked to her about this um so i don't want anybody to think that who are like i. know robbie and her friends you know i've never talked to her about this but it's something that. i've thought for a long time that you know i think that she would be yeah that's an interesting pick.
yeah very outside the box if it wasn't her though then um i think you have to look at um. i think you've got to look outside the political class i think you do have to look at an outsider. because i think people are sick of politicians yeah i do too uh i did forget one question before. we do wrap up i think one of the biggest threats that we face inside the u.s is career politicians.
so are you for term limits absolutely how are we going to get term limits you have to have a. constitutional convention because the supreme court made it very clear that we can't do it. just by simply legislating you have to have a constitutional convention and actually make this a. part of our constitution um but i'm 100 a believer in them i think that this is at the core of a lot. of our problems in america that we have a class of people that are divorced from reality of everyday. people and they're essentially just a dc bubble you know they do whatever in the dc bubble is.
popular and wanted and you know they don't really care enough about what's happening in the country. or about preserving our country so i 100 agree with you i think we need term limits and one. way i've thought about it because there's one way to do it where if you did that convention and you. made it possible um then congress would have to pass a law after that saying this is how it works. and in that sort of scenario you would still have a lot of trouble getting people to agree to it but. i think the one way you could make it happen is by grandfathering people so you'd say look.
if you're in congress now you're grandfathered from this but starting the next person after you. there's term limits because unfortunately their own personal interests are going to outweigh you. know that belief that we need term limits but the minute you say don't worry you're okay you can. stay as long as you want they'll be okay well at least we get it started you know at least we get. that that that started in the interim but i think that those are the ways that we can realistically. get there it's going to take time though yeah that's a great i didn't think of that that i.
think that might actually work yep i hope it does i hope so too damn but well what's next for you. we're running this race so you know just building up support and doing everything. that's necessary to win you know it's um a lot of people don't realize it's a lot of work to. run for congress it really is like i am out there all over the place every day there's a. lot of driving involved i have to go to dc too because there's a dc primary at the same time. there's a primary here where you have to win over certain people in dc so that they'll do what's.
necessary to support you there or to keep other people out of your race from messing with you you. know type thing so there's there's all that you gotta run with too but you also have to really. get in touch with the people name id is the biggest thing in any political race so. you have to be all over the place and make sure that you're meeting people they know. your name they know what you're doing and they know where your heart is it's not as easy as. it sounds it's a lot of work and fundraising is big so fundraising's a huge thing for us because.
we're fighting not just the democratic party not just the democratic socialists of america. not just the communists but we're also fighting the establishment class in the u.s the mitt romney. corporate raider ask rhinos and to do that that means there's a lot of money against us. and i'm also turning down money from all these woke corporation packs who try to buy your votes. by giving you money so because i'm doing that my campaign's fully funded by the people and so we're. pushing you know in-person fundraisers events and things along those lines and raising money online.
because i want to be accountable to people and i think that is the future of politics is is we need. to recreate that message that we are accountable to our voters not to walmart not to amazon. you know not to any of these entities but to the people in the actual district that we're supposed. to represent so um that's the big thing for us is just every day you build you build you build. i watched this thing recently that talked about how important practice is. and it was like the problem in a lot of people's mindsets is that they look at practice a specific.
way where they get to practice if we think of it as a sports analogy they go in and say you have to. do push-ups the whole time they're thinking about when they get to if it's you have to do 25 they're. thinking about when do i get to 25 they're not thinking about how do i become the best they're. not thinking about i can push beyond 25. they're looking for the end they're looking for a result. instead of just searching out greatness and to search out greatness and to do your best and.
to win a race like this we're not just going through the motions of we need to reach 17. 500 people with x we're saying how many people can we reach beyond that how can we set a record how. can we go beyond the normal political machine and run this differently you know so that's sort of. our priority list is thinking outside the box and running the best race we possibly can to win this. well it looks like you got a hell of a lot of support so far thank you congratulations. i'm linking your your website uh below on the description and then all your social media will.
be linked but just from you how do people find you yeah the biggest help i mean if anybody wants to. support us you can donate from any state you can volunteer from any state you can do it on. starbucks2022.com there's a volunteer tab you fill out your info you can make phone calls for. us and things along those lines keep in mind this is a national race so if i'm in there even though. i'm representing Tennessee i'm also representing you nationally i'm representing the voice of the. people nationally for a movement that wants to put our country first again in our people first again.
and so if you go there you sign up or can make a donation that's a huge help. um social obviously is fun you know if you want to follow along with like thoughts and insight and. things along those lines but that's the biggest help right now is volunteering that human capital. is so important to us because you help us reach people then within our district even if you're. in illinois or you're in california you can make phone calls to people in our district and let them. know what we're doing and that helps build that name id that we need to win perfect well we'll.
be watching and good luck in 2022 and i really appreciate you thank you i appreciate it cheers. you.
