Up next. C J. Pierson Uncensored, part of the English tweet network. Let me be tolerant of where you're from, what you believe in, all these things. But if I'm a conservative, throw me into the fire. My opinions don't matter. I need to shut the hell up. No, not for me. That's not what I'm gonna be doing. And that has been exactly what I've been fighting against and will continue to fight against. What's it got. C J. Pierson here, Welcome to episode seventeen of c J. Pierson Uncensored. It has been such a crazy week for me, literally the craziest week of college for me. Um. I recently decided that I was going to run for SJA sent here in Alabama. Um, I'm super excited about that, super excited for the opportunity to represent my peers. And when I tell you that this has literally been a real campaign, Like this is a real campaign. Now, I'm not saying I didn't expect it to not be a real campaign, Like it's a serious thing, like it should be. But like campus politics at Alabama is like real life politics, Like it really is, Like it it is the wildest thing, but it is literally the most fun but so that has absolutely taken up the bulk of my attention since the campaign has started, which had started this past Monday. And um, I think I'm excited about I'm excited to bring some a new perspective to it. All Right. You know, people talk about and Charlie Kirk actually did a really good job a really um having some foresight when it comes to this issue. People talk about how all these universities are also liberal and things like that. I think the way that we actually take back these schools and universities about having more conservatives run for these offices, run to leads to the government, run to be s G, A president or whatever that may be, get your voice heard in the places that it matters that they're heard. Uh. And I think Charlie actually created an initiative that I actually thought it was was brilliant when he announced it was to create this network to to actually support conservative say candidates. Now he's not involved in my race at all or anything like that, but uh, what I'm saying is that that is what we need to see more of. You know, conservatcys asking all the time, you know, how do I keep university from drifting left? How do I keep it from becoming so liberal. Well, the way you do it is about running for something, you know, starting a club, doing whatever. Make your voice heard. Guys. You know, liberals love to talk about diversity, equity, and inclusion, and I think there is some there is some merit to diversity, equity, inclusion. I think those are important things. But I also believe there's some merit to diversity of perspective. I think there's some merit to the inclusion of conservative thought. I think there's some merit to the equity between those and the left and those on the right. And for some odd reason, on college campuses today across the country, we haven't seen that much at all. We haven't seen the diversity, equity and inclusion that a lot of these folks are talking about. And again I'm saying that that is not a bad thing. People should and rased diversity and equity and inclusion. Who is really against people being equal? No one, no good person is against people being equal. They love to say like, oh, conservatives hate it, all this stuff. No, I love it, But I'm saying what I hate about it is the double center that comes with it. Let me be tolerant of you. Let me, be tolerant of where you're from, what you believe in all these things. But if I'm a conservative, throw me into the fire. My opinions don't matter. I need to shut the hell up. Nah, not for me. That's not what I'm gonna be doing. And that has been exactly what I've been fighting against and will continue to fight against. You want your d I, you want your diversity, equity and all this stuff. Let's do it. You've got it, but the same token. On that same hand, I'm sorry, guys, but you've gotta hear me out as well. That's true diversity, that's true inclusion, that's true equity, and I think there's a lot of work to be done there and I'm excited to see where that goes and where we go from here. But moving past that guy, So, because of how busy but week it's been, and really how Slovan Newsweek has been, relatively right, um, I decided let's make this episode a little bit different. Let's do a Q and A. I want to give you guys the opportunity to get to know me better, and and what better way to do that than just simply asking me some really cool questions and things like that. Uh. And so what I really wanted to do as post this on Twitter, a pistos on Facebook, and you guys sent a lot of really really cool questions that I'm so excited to answer, really excited to hop into it. Um. But what I really wanted to talk about before we even got into that was Tiger. Was guys, my my thoughts and prayers with a Tiger and his family. You know, I'm from Augusta, Georgia. I'm from Augusta, where there is nothing we hold more dear than the sport of golf. Tiger was an absolute legend in every sense of the word. And I hate to see it, seriously, and I hope he's okay. I don't know if you guys saw like the the accident in the aftermath, but his car just absolutely got it like it looked terrible. Um. And from what news reports have said, he looks like he shattered his ankle. Will that affect his play? You know, if he's had some leg issues in the in the past and issues with his back, um. But as far as will that affect his play, I guess that remains to be seen. Um. But seriously, guys, I really am holding him up in prayer uh and and really hoping for the best for him. Um. Also, guys, it's almost time for a seat pack, right. It's gonna be a really jam packed even the President speaking at it. Guys. It will be this first appearance, public appearance, public speech since leaving the White House uh in late January, and that's going to be something. Seriously, guys, I think the mainstream media number one, they love, they want to hate on it. They want to say, oh my god, how dare we give him a platform after January six? Out of dare they? Out? Dare they? How dare they? But these people have had their ratings suffer since this man is off the White House. Guys. Honestly, if Donald Trump doesn't give this speech, there will probably mass layoffs at all these at every one of these publications, CNN and SNBC. They need him to give this speech. So they may hate on it publicly on Twitter, they may throw a little bit of shade at it, but trust me, they are chopping at the bit for Donald Trump to take that stage uh in the coming day. So just wait on that. But there's a little bit of drama, you know. I don't know what it means I'm not gonna read too much into it, but there seems to be that Mike Pence has also given the opportunity to speak at Sea Pack, but declined why he did that. Well, there's been no comment from the former vice president on Matt, but definitely something that really stuck out there. Um. Also to its seapack, they plan to honor the great Rush Limbaugh, which again, you know, we talked about him last episode and the impact that he played on our country and then not only our country, but me as a commentator, as an activist, uh, when it came to just really exploring my conservative beliefs not deals, like he was that guy for me. Uh. And so Dethinlin cannot wait um to see how they decide to honor Rush and and and everything like that. And so I'm super excited about that, um. But also too, you know, this is gonna be happening in Florida, where Gunner de Santis has been making all the right moves. Okay. I saw Kenny McKinney tweet UM a little earlier this week. She described him as one of the most effective executives in the nation right now, and that's been so true. Like this is a guy who has played all of his cards right, uh, in terms of the coronavirus response and vaccines and all that good stuff, but also justin being a conservative warrior who doesn't give a damn about what the media thinks of him. And that goes a long way with me, because you all know how I feel about it. You know, I'm tired of conservatives pussy footing. I'm tired of Republicans being so worried and so scared of of living their true speaking about what they believe in. I'm tired of it. I'm the entire of the cowardice. We won't win or save this country, Um, through cowardice, there's no chance. And so the only opportunity that we have to really ensure that America wins, the day that the values that our nation was found upon, win, the day that we last the test of time, is by being bold in the way that we advocate for our nation. And that starts. That seriously does start by electing and leaders and elevating leaders like Governor on De Santis. And that's exactly um, well you'll hear from me. I'm watching him, guys. I'm seriously, I'm paying a lot of attention to him and and you guys should be too, especially as we inch closer and closer to There's been some some whispers about the president, President Trump potentially running again. Um, but if he doesn't, I've gotta tell you, guys are onto santis. He's looking awfully good these days. But anyways, let's let's hop right into it. You guys ask me a lot of great questions and we're gonna jump out into those right after the break. Welcome back, my friends. So we're gonna just getta hop right into all these really cool questions that people have been submitting on Twitter, Instagram, Facebook, you name it. And I am super super excited about that. So someone just asked me a question here, Um, what made me a Republican? What made me Republican? So that's a really good question for me that started when I was really really young. It's actually a product of a lot of things and not really a single thing. Um. A part of it is that I just have a natural disposition and personality to being Republican. When I was growing up, I hate being told what to do. I seriously did. I was always really like self motivated, a really big self starter. Um, I wanted to do things my way, and I wanted to do things on my own, you know, my favorite thing. And my grandparents, my parents, they would all would tell you this is that I would always say, I know what I'm doing. Like that was whenever they would like try to like tell me like this, how should do this? How you should do that, I'd be like, I know what I'm doing. Um. And so if I didn't want them to tell me what to do, why in the hell would I want the government to tell me what to do? Right? And so that was the start of the Republicanism and the conservative and me um. But it also had to do a lot with my upbringing. And of course I preface this by saying that both of my parents are Democrats. Never voted for a Republican, didn't vote for Trump, didn't vote for Romney, like they are died in the wool democrats, like they vote straight Democrat. And that's the prerogative, it is what it is. But the thing is is that even though they're Democrat, and I tell people this whole time, even though I was raised by Democrats, I was raised by conservatives. I was raised by people who taught me the importance of family and faith. They taught me the importance of morality and having responsibility for your decisions and all of that. They taught me that. They literally made sure that I left the house at eighteen going to college with those values, with that most system because they realize and the understood the importance of it all. That's kind of what led me to conservatism. You know, I've always been entrepreneurial and also too is like for me, I think, you know, people are talking about systemic racism and all this stuff in the left and how people have color have been historically wronged, uh, you know in this country, and there is some truth in meyri to that, right, like black people went through slavery, segregation, all those things. Those were bad things objectively, any person left or right will acknowledge that. But I don't believe the solution the remedy to those historical failings, those wrongs is by making people dependent in slaves the government. Because the question that you didn't have to ask is like, why are we remitting or seeking to remedy slavery by creating and cultivating just a new type of it. Right, we should be cultivating independence, We should be up giving people of color Black people the tools that they need to create businesses, to create wealth, to create a legacy to pass on to their children. This is the historical wrongs and they're grandparents, they're great grandparents, and they're great grandparents grandparents had to go through are never repeated again. And you don't do that by creating more chains. You do that by cutting those chains and getting rid of them. Um, someone said this is just a funny one. Uh you know how am? I mean? School? Pretty gettim a Dean's list. Uh, this past semester, still working hard this semester. Um definitely a lot different this semester because we do have a lot more in person classes and I'll i'll acknowledge this. So I complained a lot about zoom classes, and I still think that I would rather be in the classroom. But boarded zoom classes is like zoom classes like baby us because I could literally hop on my zoom in my bed or wherever I am. I can literally be at lunch and I would just let my zoom play, um while I'll had some restaurant with some buddies, with some friends, and it would be more than fine. Cannot do that anymore. Unfortunately, you know, I have to walk to class or uber to class wherever, depending on where that classes. And I have to get out of my bed, I to get ready every single day and all these things, and boy, damn, I'm missing first semester just together. How easy it was in terms of like, okay, all I had to do was just hop on a zoom, click a link, and then boy, there you go. I was in class. Um. Definitely do not have that luxury this semester, but it is what it is. Um. Someone said, a year from now, where do I see America? Three bullet points? They asked for it. Number one, I see a red America. I do. And twenty years from now, between twenty two midterm elections, I think you're gonna realize that they elected an absolute, you know, person with with just no idea um of how to run a country. Really, you know, a person who's quite literally asleep at the wheel when it comes to governing this nation. And they're not going to deal with the high gas prices, They're not gonna deal with the tax hikes, they're not gonna deal with this limitless oppression of our freedom due to COVID, because of hysteria and fear wandering. They're going to be over it and they're gonna realize what they're missing, and I think they we're gonna see a really big course correction in terms of our governance. Um also too, I think you're gonna see kind of a people a lot less probably could correct. You're gonna see a big rebellion against cancel culture. And I think you're already starting to see it. Maybe not out in the open people you know, really going out on their way to defend these people, but you're seeing it clearly with what we're just happening with Morgan Wall And now I think what Morgan Lallan did was wrong and and and I'm not gonna defend his comments by any means. At the same time, look what happened after all the backlash. His album sales went up what three percent? And from what I understand, like, I've had conversations with tons of people and they're like, you know, I don't like what Morrigan did. I would never say it myself. I don't even think that he should have said it. But I'm tired of people try to cancel people for one mistake that they make. And I think that there's Samarrit to that right, because it's like, you know, we for a long time we talked about the importance of grace, the importance of giving people the opportunity to to to be better, to learn to do better. But yet, for some odd reason, we find ourselves in a place where people now make one mistake and they're written off. They're told that they don't deserve a well being, you know, a life anymore. And I think there are a lot of people who don't really agree with that. A fun question here, PBJ are grilled cheese. Fun story about this. I actually hadn't had a grilled cheese until my sophomore year of high school. It was pretty good. But I gotta say signala tradition. I'm gonna get with PBE and J, even though I have not had a peanut butter and jelly sandwich and also years probably not since like elementary school. Um, which is surprising because I actually do really like peanut butter favorite food. Uh depends, it depends, it depends. So I actually really like tuna. Um tuna, Like can tuna for like a random like snack is really good for me? I really like it, Uh steak if it's if it's for dinner, big ribbed guy to um, if I'm like snacking, just a couple of grapes, a big grape guy. Favorite class I'm taking at Bama so far, actually, like Colonel in Us is class which funny story or a cool story about that is taught by the number one rated professor in the country. Uh and so and I'm pre law as well. I've always kind of thought about, you know, going to law school. And so. Someone said, favorite non political pastime fishing. I really love fishing. Um. It's always so soothing, so chill. Uh. And it's a really good time for me to decompress, especially when I am just like always working, always doing something, working on some new project. It's a great way to decompress, a great way to just you know, really just calm down. So uh. And the adrilline rash when you actually just real in that bass you love it, you love it. Um. Someone said, why do I support white supremacy? You know, I'm gonna assume that you're a liberal, that you're a Democrat who asked this question. And I think that's a fair guess, right. Um, you're asking me why I support white supremacy? Yet I just supported the president Donald Trump, who brought about the lowest back un employer in our nation's history, criminal justice reform, economic empowerment zones, which brought in commercial investment into inner cities and actually benefited black and brown communities, Uh, disproportionately. You know, it was intended targeted to benefit those communities. Um. I also saw a president that elevated people like a black surgeon general. He had been parson in his cabinet. And so if I really support white supremacy, I'm really confused as to how any of those things are indicative of someone who really is supportive of white supremacy. But for some reason, you support the Democrat Party, the party of Jim Crow, the party of the KKK, the party that literally was found upon the bedrock of racism, founded to protect and defend the institution of slavery. And so until you came with the past of your party, I don't want to hear a damn thing you have to say about who I support today. Okay, Um, someone say, can I be the next president of the United States? Unfortunately No, I've been too young. I think I have a what sixteen more years before that can happen. Um, And we'll see what happens from that point. But a little bit, a little bit of time down the road, how do I joined the University of Alabama. Love it here. Absolutely the best school in the country. If you're listening to this, calm to you a kind of Alabama. Um. If you're considered student listening to this, colm to Alabama definitely the more conservative universities in the country. UM. If you're looking for a place where're gonna find a lot of people who have a lot of shared values as yourself, you're definitely gonna get that. Here are the liberals here, yes, or liberals everywhere. UM. But um, I will tell you that I've had, you know, an issue here and there. UM. But as far as like feeling at home and having a community of people who, um, I see a lot of myself in definitely found out here in Alabama. And that is um a dime a dozen these days when it comes to colleges. So if you're looking for that big school, you want the traditional college life kind of vibe, but you also still want to go to a place where you feel, um as if you can be safe to be vocal and and and and passionate about the things in which you will leave and you're on the right side of the aisle. Uh. Definitely, look at Alabama. It's a great place to be. UM for sure. Someone said, are there any concernally alim football team? There definitely are, for sure. I'm actually friends with uh quite a few football players and UH they're great guys and UM on and off the field. So that's been That's one of the cooling Another thing going about to Alabama. UM, you definitely get to hang out with a lot of cool athletes who are gonna go do some crazy things one day. Do I invest in crypto? I don't. I've looked at bitcoin. I'm waiting for it to drop, UM, you know, hopefully drop soon. I'm sure everyone who investment coin doesn't want to drop, but I kind of wanted to drop so I can hop in um in the market. But as of now, I've not invested in the coin. Guys, these are really good questions, and I love getting the opportunity to do this because I feel like sometimes it's just like it's me talking about a topic. We don't get to talk enough. UM. We really don't need to see the sides of me out time politics, and so whenever I get like just answer questions you know that aren't about politics. It's always super super fun. So where do I see myself in five years? So in five years, what how will I be? I'll be uh, twenty two, I'll be twenty three. Guys, I'm not a math major in politics for a reason. Anyways, Um, five years probably law school, if not law school, working on a presidental campaign because I actually have the benefit of graduating during election years. So um, either one of those things, I'd be very very happy to be doing. What sex for trying to mobilize the younger rots to vote for prolibriting candidates. Okay, so, oh my god, this actually goes hand in. There's another question I think really goes hand in. While the bulking party who claims the individual liberty and states rights support legalizing recreational medical marijuana, Yeah, I agree. Here's the deal. We is gonna get legalized sooner or later. I think it's very much like gay marriage in that sense. Um, Like, it's just it's gonna happen, It's just a matter of when. Um. I think it's like for me as a conservative, I can't sit here and and say I love women of government, I love states rights, and all these things, and tell you that you can't smoke a little bit of weed if don't want to speak with me, all right, what you do with your body, and that in that sense, you're not you're not affecting anyone. But you know, it's not like abortion, where like there's another living being inside of you. If you want to smoke weed, that choice is affecting you and you alone. And so I'm not gonna deal with that. And and and tell you that you can't do what you do your grown and you want to make grown decisions, go ahead and grown decisions. That is your prerogative, that is your choice. And what we can do we regulated, we tax it, We make sure that we put a lot of these cartels out of business. We're gonna see a crom reduction because of it. I think that that is a win for a lot of things that conservas believe in. And and it's been a little bit weird for me to see, um, certain conservatives be a little bit weary of it, but I think you should definitely be legalized. Question prior to that was like, how do we mobilize younger voters to vote for conservative and pro liberate candidates? It's by being true to our value supporting things like recreational marijuana organization and medical marijuana aganization or even at the bear been a reschedule the damn drug, right like, there hasn't even been the ability to do enough research on the drug because of UM how regulated it is UM. And I think that there would be a lot for science to gain and everyone else if we were just even able to research the drug a little bit more. And so you know, hopefully we can even get that done. That'd be huge because there's some really good questions, but looks how to running out of time, So wrap it up and I'll see you guys. Activity. Welcome back, guys. Thank you so much for joining us on this quea episode. Thank you so much for all of your really really cool questions. We definitely had to do this again one day, uh and we definitely will. It was super super fun. Guys. Join us back here next week next Thursday, and I can't wait to see you there. I'll see you guys, Hey, guys, c J. Pierson here, join us right here on Apple podcast, I Heart Radio or wherever you get your podcast for the same hard hitting truth. Because we'll never stop fighting for you right here.

I recently decided that I was going to run for SJA sent here in Alabama. Um, I'm super excited about that, super excited for the opportunity to represent my peers.

And so the only opportunity that we have to really ensure that America wins, the day that the values that our nation was found upon, win, the day that we last the test of time, is by being bold in the way that we advocate for our nation. And that starts. That seriously does start by electing and leaders and elevating leaders like Governor on De Santis. And that's exactly um, well you'll hear from me. I'm watching him, guys. I'm seriously, I'm paying a lot of attention to him and and you guys should be too, especially as we inch closer and closer to There's been some some whispers about the president, President Trump potentially running again. Um, but if he doesn't, I've gotta tell you, guys are onto santis. He's looking awfully good these days. But anyways, let's let's hop right into it. You guys ask me a lot of great questions and we're gonna jump out into those right after the break. Welcome back, my friends. So we're gonna just getta hop right into all these really cool questions that people have been submitting on Twitter, Instagram, Facebook, you name it. And I am super super excited about that. So someone just asked me a question here, Um, what made me a Republican? What made me Republican? So that's a really good question for me that started when I was really really young. It's actually a product of a lot of things and not really a single thing. Um. A part of it is that I just have a natural disposition and personality to being Republican. When I was growing up, I hate being told what to do. I seriously did. I was always really like self motivated, a really big self starter. Um, I wanted to do things my way, and I wanted to do things on my own, you know, my favorite thing. And my grandparents, my parents, they would all would tell you this is that I would always say, I know what I'm doing. Like that was whenever they would like try to like tell me like this, how should do this? How you should do that, I'd be like, I know what I'm doing. Um. And so if I didn't want them to tell me what to do, why in the hell would I want the government to tell me what to do? Right? And so that was the start of the Republicanism and the conservative and me um. But it also had to do a lot with my upbringing. And of course I preface this by saying that both of my parents are Democrats. Never voted for a Republican, didn't vote for Trump, didn't vote for Romney, like they are died in the wool democrats, like they vote straight Democrat. And that's the prerogative, it is what it is. But the thing is is that even though they're Democrat, and I tell people this whole time, even though I was raised by Democrats, I was raised by conservatives. I was raised by people who taught me the importance of family and faith. They taught me the importance of morality and having responsibility for your decisions and all of that. They taught me that. They literally made sure that I left the house at eighteen going to college with those values, with that most system because they realize and the understood the importance of it all. That's kind of what led me to conservatism. You know, I've always been entrepreneurial and also too is like for me, I think, you know, people are talking about systemic racism and all this stuff in the left and how people have color have been historically wronged, uh, you know in this country, and there is some truth in meyri to that, right, like black people went through slavery, segregation, all those things. Those were bad things objectively, any person left or right will acknowledge that. But I don't believe the solution the remedy to those historical failings, those wrongs is by making people dependent in slaves the government. Because the question that you didn't have to ask is like, why are we remitting or seeking to remedy slavery by creating and cultivating just a new type of it. Right, we should be cultivating independence, We should be up giving people of color Black people the tools that they need to create businesses, to create wealth, to create a legacy to pass on to their children. This is the historical wrongs and they're grandparents, they're great grandparents, and they're great grandparents grandparents had to go through are never repeated again. And you don't do that by creating more chains. You do that by cutting those chains and getting rid of them. Um, someone said this is just a funny one. Uh you know how am? I mean? School? Pretty gettim a Dean's list. Uh, this past semester, still working hard this semester. Um definitely a lot different this semester because we do have a lot more in person classes and I'll i'll acknowledge this. So I complained a lot about zoom classes, and I still think that I would rather be in the classroom. But boarded zoom classes is like zoom classes like baby us because I could literally hop on my zoom in my bed or wherever I am. I can literally be at lunch and I would just let my zoom play, um while I'll had some restaurant with some buddies, with some friends, and it would be more than fine. Cannot do that anymore. Unfortunately, you know, I have to walk to class or uber to class wherever, depending on where that classes. And I have to get out of my bed, I to get ready every single day and all these things, and boy, damn, I'm missing first semester just together. How easy it was in terms of like, okay, all I had to do was just hop on a zoom, click a link, and then boy, there you go. I was in class. Um. Definitely do not have that luxury this semester, but it is what it is. Um. Someone said, a year from now, where do I see America? Three bullet points? They asked for it. Number one, I see a red America. I do. And twenty years from now, between twenty two midterm elections, I think you're gonna realize that they elected an absolute, you know, person with with just no idea um of how to run a country. Really, you know, a person who's quite literally asleep at the wheel when it comes to governing this nation. And they're not going to deal with the high gas prices, They're not gonna deal with the tax hikes, they're not gonna deal with this limitless oppression of our freedom due to COVID, because of hysteria and fear wandering. They're going to be over it and they're gonna realize what they're missing, and I think they we're gonna see a really big course correction in terms of our governance. Um also too, I think you're gonna see kind of a people a lot less probably could correct. You're gonna see a big rebellion against cancel culture. And I think you're already starting to see it. Maybe not out in the open people you know, really going out on their way to defend these people, but you're seeing it clearly with what we're just happening with Morgan Wall And now I think what Morgan Lallan did was wrong and and and I'm not gonna defend his comments by any means. At the same time, look what happened after all the backlash. His album sales went up what three percent? And from what I understand, like, I've had conversations with tons of people and they're like, you know, I don't like what Morrigan did. I would never say it myself. I don't even think that he should have said it. But I'm tired of people try to cancel people for one mistake that they make. And I think that there's Samarrit to that right, because it's like, you know, we for a long time we talked about the importance of grace, the importance of giving people the opportunity to to to be better, to learn to do better. But yet, for some odd reason, we find ourselves in a place where people now make one mistake and they're written off. They're told that they don't deserve a well being, you know, a life anymore. And I think there are a lot of people who don't really agree with that. A fun question here, PBJ are grilled cheese. Fun story about this. I actually hadn't had a grilled cheese until my sophomore year of high school. It was pretty good. But I gotta say signala tradition. I'm gonna get with PBE and J, even though I have not had a peanut butter and jelly sandwich and also years probably not since like elementary school. Um, which is surprising because I actually do really like peanut butter favorite food. Uh depends, it depends, it depends. So I actually really like tuna. Um tuna, Like can tuna for like a random like snack is really good for me? I really like it, Uh steak if it's if it's for dinner, big ribbed guy to um, if I'm like snacking, just a couple of grapes, a big grape guy. Favorite class I'm taking at Bama so far, actually, like Colonel in Us is class which funny story or a cool story about that is taught by the number one rated professor in the country. Uh and so and I'm pre law as well. I've always kind of thought about, you know, going to law school. And so. Someone said, favorite non political pastime fishing. I really love fishing. Um. It's always so soothing, so chill. Uh. And it's a really good time for me to decompress, especially when I am just like always working, always doing something, working on some new project. It's a great way to decompress, a great way to just you know, really just calm down. So uh. And the adrilline rash when you actually just real in that bass you love it, you love it. Um. Someone said, why do I support white supremacy? You know, I'm gonna assume that you're a liberal, that you're a Democrat who asked this question. And I think that's a fair guess, right. Um, you're asking me why I support white supremacy? Yet I just supported the president Donald Trump, who brought about the lowest back un employer in our nation's history, criminal justice reform, economic empowerment zones, which brought in commercial investment into inner cities and actually benefited black and brown communities, Uh, disproportionately. You know, it was intended targeted to benefit those communities. Um. I also saw a president that elevated people like a black surgeon general. He had been parson in his cabinet. And so if I really support white supremacy, I'm really confused as to how any of those things are indicative of someone who really is supportive of white supremacy. But for some reason, you support the Democrat Party, the party of Jim Crow, the party of the KKK, the party that literally was found upon the bedrock of racism, founded to protect and defend the institution of slavery. And so until you came with the past of your party, I don't want to hear a damn thing you have to say about who I support today. Okay, Um, someone say, can I be the next president of the United States? Unfortunately No, I've been too young. I think I have a what sixteen more years before that can happen. Um, And we'll see what happens from that point. But a little bit, a little bit of time down the road, how do I joined the University of Alabama. Love it here. Absolutely the best school in the country. If you're listening to this, calm to you a kind of Alabama. Um. If you're considered student listening to this, colm to Alabama definitely the more conservative universities in the country. UM. If you're looking for a place where're gonna find a lot of people who have a lot of shared values as yourself, you're definitely gonna get that. Here are the liberals here, yes, or liberals everywhere. UM. But um, I will tell you that I've had, you know, an issue here and there. UM. But as far as like feeling at home and having a community of people who, um, I see a lot of myself in definitely found out here in Alabama. And that is um a dime a dozen these days when it comes to colleges. So if you're looking for that big school, you want the traditional college life kind of vibe, but you also still want to go to a place where you feel, um as if you can be safe to be vocal and and and and passionate about the things in which you will leave and you're on the right side of the aisle. Uh. Definitely, look at Alabama. It's a great place to be. UM for sure. Someone said, are there any concernally alim football team? There definitely are, for sure. I'm actually friends with uh quite a few football players and UH they're great guys and UM on and off the field. So that's been That's one of the cooling Another thing going about to Alabama. UM, you definitely get to hang out with a lot of cool athletes who are gonna go do some crazy things one day. Do I invest in crypto? I don't. I've looked at bitcoin. I'm waiting for it to drop, UM, you know, hopefully drop soon. I'm sure everyone who investment coin doesn't want to drop, but I kind of wanted to drop so I can hop in um in the market. But as of now, I've not invested in the coin. Guys, these are really good questions, and I love getting the opportunity to do this because I feel like sometimes it's just like it's me talking about a topic. We don't get to talk enough. UM. We really don't need to see the sides of me out time politics, and so whenever I get like just answer questions you know that aren't about politics. It's always super super fun. So where do I see myself in five years? So in five years, what how will I be? I'll be uh, twenty two, I'll be twenty three. Guys, I'm not a math major in politics for a reason. Anyways, Um, five years probably law school, if not law school, working on a presidental campaign because I actually have the benefit of graduating during election years. So um, either one of those things, I'd be very very happy to be doing. What sex for trying to mobilize the younger rots to vote for prolibriting candidates. Okay, so, oh my god, this actually goes hand in. There's another question I think really goes hand in. While the bulking party who claims the individual liberty and states rights support legalizing recreational medical marijuana, Yeah, I agree. Here's the deal. We is gonna get legalized sooner or later. I think it's very much like gay marriage in that sense. Um, Like, it's just it's gonna happen, It's just a matter of when. Um. I think it's like for me as a conservative, I can't sit here and and say I love women of government, I love states rights, and all these things, and tell you that you can't smoke a little bit of weed if don't want to speak with me, all right, what you do with your body, and that in that sense, you're not you're not affecting anyone. But you know, it's not like abortion, where like there's another living being inside of you. If you want to smoke weed, that choice is affecting you and you alone. And so I'm not gonna deal with that. And and and tell you that you can't do what you do your grown and you want to make grown decisions, go ahead and grown decisions. That is your prerogative, that is your choice. And what we can do we regulated, we tax it, We make sure that we put a lot of these cartels out of business. We're gonna see a crom reduction because of it. I think that that is a win for a lot of things that conservas believe in. And and it's been a little bit weird for me to see, um, certain conservatives be a little bit weary of it, but I think you should definitely be legalized. Question prior to that was like, how do we mobilize younger voters to vote for conservative and pro liberate candidates? It's by being true to our value supporting things like recreational marijuana organization and medical marijuana aganization or even at the bear been a reschedule the damn drug, right like, there hasn't even been the ability to do enough research on the drug because of UM how regulated it is UM. And I think that there would be a lot for science to gain and everyone else if we were just even able to research the drug a little bit more. And so you know, hopefully we can even get that done. That'd be huge because there's some really good questions, but looks how to running out of time, So wrap it up and I'll see you guys. Activity. Welcome back, guys. Thank you so much for joining us on this quea episode. Thank you so much for all of your really really cool questions. We definitely had to do this again one day, uh and we definitely will.
