So I'm, we're in an elite club here. I didn't realize how lucky I was.
A (1:39)
Exactly. Yes. One of the few that can say that they've been a guest on Nightly Scroll. So congratulations and of course, thank you for joining me. I love our conversations. And I was thinking the last time that I talked to you on Vince, I never asked you, you know, how you got into politics so early. What inspired you?
B (1:58)
Yeah, that's a really great question. So, one, I would like to credit my parents and my family for a lot of, you know, how I was raised. I was homeschooled all the way through. But more importantly, I was classically educated. And, you know, there's one, a great quote from one of the greatest philosophers in all of history and says you can either be involved in politics or be damned to be ruled by lesser men. And that's that just really Kind of resonated with me. And so when I was 24 years old, I had started my own business, things were going well. And when the congressman that had was in my seat that I had taken over in North Carolina, left to be chief of staff to Donald Trump, the seat was wide open. Lots of people threw their hat into a ring. I think it was a 13 way primary. But when I started talking to people and I just was asking these, you know, people from, you know, all sorts of different generations, I was like, you know, really, how do you feel about the fact? Because Remember, this is 2020, you know, Covid really hadn't broken out at this point, the world, it was 2019. When we were really thinking about it, Covid hadn't broken out yet. You know, Black Lives Matter hadn't broken out yet. So the entire political spectrum was just so different than it is now today. I mean, now we can sit here and say that Tim Walls is retarded. If you said that in 2019, in my first race, that would have been global news. Yeah. And so, you know, but when I started talking to these people and they had their pleated pants and tassel loafers, and for many, being in Congress, going to be the best job they've ever had. And they never wanted to get rid of it or for a lot. Most of them, they just wanted to live out their glory days, you know, as having a cap off their, you know, what they call an immaculate career, as being a member of Congress, because they like the notoriety of that. And so when I started asking them, hey, how do you feel about social media algorithms being different in North America? They are in Southeast Asia, you know, in Southeast Asia, if you want to go viral, you have to do something with stem, you have to do something both hardcore masculinity, patriotism, honoring your heritage, all of these things. And, and it's because they're trying to raise a nation of warriors to rival the global power system that's in place now, which is the United States. Whereas in America it's totally different. And so I would ask them how they felt about these algorithms and they would give ridiculous answers like, well, you know, algorithms and math and science, they're all the same basically, wherever you are on the world. So it should be the same. I don't really see why that's an issue. And I just would realize that there was no chance of even explaining to these people what was at stake. The entire hearts and minds of the next generation were being warped and taken. I mean, you look at the millennial generation and how ridiculously liberal and communist they are. Then you look at what Gen Z is like now. They wanted Gen Z to be an extreme version of the liberals we had from the millennial generation. And I think if young patriots specifically, you know, Donald Trump hadn't gotten involved in 2016, then we would not have had so many young patriots getting on the scene. We don't have Charlie Kirk being at the position that he was to really be able to say, hey guys, the kids okay, well, our country's on fire. If we don't fix it now, things are going to go wrong. And I'll tell you, going into Congress with that kind of a mindset and realizing how, you know, damned the next generation was, whether it's going to be with debt, quantitative easing, the lack of our dollars, being able to buy many things, the inability to be able to buy a home or find a good paying job. You know, many people are like, well, hey, when you get to Congress your first time, you don't want to rock the boat. You don't want things to go too bad. And I would look at these people and say, what are you thinking? The boat is sinking. We have to do something now. We need to build a new boat. And so that's why I got involved.
