Casey, the Ohio gubernatorial candidate, challenges Vivek Ramaswamy's candidacy, accusing him of lacking local ties while leveraging foreign scholarships and globalist networks. The discussion exposes alleged corporate malfeasance in data centers and H-1B visa abuses, contrasting them with Casey's diesel vehicle innovation. Critics condemn the erosion of First Amendment rights via "lawfare" and the replacement of native Americans by international elites in universities. Ultimately, the episode frames the election as a pivotal choice between an America defined by heritage and lineage versus one reduced to mere citizenship for globalist interests.

Patreon Account Canceled00:03:23
First thing that I have to discuss, unfortunately, is that we just received word from Patreon, the platform, that our entire Patreon account has been removed.
Completely canceled.
No warning, no advance notice, just got an email.
It's down completely.
We have over 3,400 paid Patreon members.
They paid for our Patreon so that they could watch content that we worked hard to produce.
And now they can't.
It was just taken down.
Allegedly, we broke their violations, where we violated their requirements for the platform, that we committed hate speech.
The reality is that cancel culture is still alive and well, and censorship, I think, in many ways, is beginning to ramp back up.
It's ramping up over maybe some different issues than what it was in 2020 and 2021, the high watermark of cancel culture that we saw with BLM and George Floyd and all these kinds of things.
But cancel culture is alive and well.
And censorship, I think, is in some ways becoming even stronger than it was three, four years ago, especially on the topic of Israel.
As you guys know, we did a 10 part series with Nick Fuentes.
And ultimately, what Patreon is doing is they're saying that Nick Fuentes' voice is not permitted in the public square.
Free speech is not allowed.
And so they're canceling Nick Fuentes, they're canceling us once again.
And.
We are not very happy about it.
So, stay tuned.
We are going to be solving this problem to the best of our ability.
We have some ideas.
We're working on it behind the scenes, even now, as we do this live stream today.
And we are going to be reaching out to everyone that we can.
Even the email list is not complete.
We don't even have a total way to be able to reach out to everybody who would subscribe to our Patreon.
So, I'm going to be posting about this on X. We're going to be trying our best to garner emails for everybody who would support it.
And even others who want to hop on board and probably having to pick a new platform and gifting people a free month so that they can get the content that they already paid for.
So, we are working on a solution.
We will have a solution, Lord willing, by later this afternoon, probably about an hour or so after we finish this stream.
We've got our tech guys who are working on it as we do this episode.
So, if you were affected by our Patreon being completely removed, By their absolute hatred of free speech and cancel culture, once again, censorship, once again.
We're sorry for that, and we are going to do everything we can to fix it as soon as possible.
All right, today's live stream, we are talking to Casey, who is running for governor in Ohio.
We have an American, and then we have an American citizen.
And these two are not the same.
Casey, welcome to the show.
Thank you for having me.
I'm a real honor to be here.
Awesome.
You're doing a good job.
I've been following you online, watching what you're up to on X. When is the actual race?
Your race is shorter.
The Ohio Primary Leap00:11:21
We just interviewed Fishback, James Fishback, but the actual election takes place when in Ohio?
Our primary is May 5th, and it's the Republican primary, but actually, I've learned that it's open.
So literally anybody can vote in the Ohio Republican primary, which is fascinating because some hardcore establishment Republicans.
Came after me and said, Are you trying to get Democrats to vote for you?
And I was like, Can you even do that?
I'm just a guy that doesn't like what I see trying to run.
So it's fascinating what's going on.
But it's May 5th.
Me against Vivek.
You against Vivek.
Is there anybody else in the race?
No one that has any real traction.
So, frankly, it's everything that Vivek is and represents and me with all the people of Ohio.
Got you.
Give me and our listeners some of the reasons why you decided to do this, why you think Vivek is not good for Ohio.
Well, it's observation.
You know, if you back up five years or so, especially during the Joe Biden administration, what I saw happening with culture was horrific.
I watch how different groups of people are being divided politically through obviously means that are in no way at face value for political gain.
I'm watching the United States of America be torn apart socially, economically, politically, and it's not organic.
And in those years, I'm an automotive guy, build cars, do automotive YouTube, lead a nonprofit teaching young engineers, but I was just getting to the point where I couldn't take it anymore.
And started thinking more about politics and being something of a conservative talking head on the internet more so than just cars because I think culture is wildly important now and things are going the wrong direction.
And even considered a congressional run a few years back, didn't obviously get to any technical point of making motion happen, given a lot of consideration to it.
When we fast forward to seeing Vivek, of course, he ran with and against Donald Trump, bowed out early when he was polling terribly.
It seems this man at the time just Shall we say, lifted all of Donald Trump's talking points.
So we didn't really pay that much attention to him, otherwise, that it was nice, seemingly, that someone is out there, you know, leading a conservative movement.
He was supposed to do Doge.
And that Doge is probably one of about the most important things that could possibly happen in the United States government to just get rid of massive waste, fraud, and abuse that the taxpayers are being robbed from us and robbed from our future.
So I was excited about that.
But as we got closer to the presidential inauguration, Becker was nowhere to be found.
And there's rumors of rows and everybody hating each other and booting him out and such.
I don't know what's true, but he was nowhere to be found.
And then all of a sudden, mysteriously, he's running to be governor of Ohio in what to me objectively looks like the most astroturped campaign I have ever seen in my life or even imagined with everybody endorsing this man well over a year before the primary.
That bothered me deeply.
That's an understatement.
And in looking at it, I started thinking a little strategically because frankly, back then I thought, my God, if no one's going to do it, I'll run again.
Him.
And someone else had tried to talk me out of it, someone that I was acquaintances with in Washington, assuring me that he wasn't going to win.
And I believed that person because I figured he knew something I didn't.
But as the summer progressed and Vivek just clears the field with the Ohio GOP and we just watch all of the establishment backing him, I'm like, this isn't natural.
This isn't right.
Something horrible is happening.
And just in looking at over the summer with regard to Vivek, this is a man who he didn't go to college in Ohio.
You know, I'm a third generation Ohio State alumni.
Heck, my grandfather, after World War II, went there on the GI Bill in 1950.
Vivek has no businesses in Ohio, despite his massive wealth, which has doubled since just running for political office using obviously money from taxpayers donated.
He's just out there talking to make himself more famous.
But despite having a nearly $2 billion worth, he's done no philanthropy in Ohio.
When I've spent the last 11 years of my life mentoring college students to my own detriment of my own time to help them get jobs, you know, these are things that started.
Just deeply bothering me.
And I don't think it's acceptable that our government, that was set up to be for the people and by the people, is being clearly bought out by what looks to be just a manufactured billionaire born to Indian foreign nationals who got his citizenship through paperwork.
And this is an oddity to me.
I don't even know how to take it.
Maybe you'll have some insight.
He's a Hindu man raised to a Hindu Indian family, but went to Catholic school in high school.
And then later, when he leaves that, just leaves Ohio to go to higher education.
And then, of course, he's a proud Hindu.
And on his campaign, you can see videos of him lecturing and telling all the Christians what he thinks about us and our religion.
And then, he writes op ed articles that, when they backlash at him, they change the titles so that if anybody doesn't like Vivek, it's not because he's a terrible candidate and a person who clearly, by his actions, doesn't care about any of the people of Ohio or America, and then looks down his nose at our culture.
But he writes these articles as a weird, what appears to be a tactical leftist ploy to say that we're racist.
I mean, it just seems like a wave of evil.
And with regard to more recently on my YouTube video, I was doing more crash out videos, just thinking independently and finding out what's wrong with AI and where it's programming you.
And I spoke to my wife, obviously, because I was thinking of running.
And I said, How do I decide?
To do this.
And she, of course, and this is very bright, said, I think when you have the support to be able to do it is when you know that it's the right thing to do.
And that makes all sense in the world from business.
But I said, I don't think it's going to work like this or work like that.
I think it's going to be an absolute leap of faith.
And I just thought of this more recently, but it was kind of like that scene in Indiana Jones and the, I think it was the last crusade, the leap of faith, because that's what it was.
You know, I'm something of a normie, I'm not a billionaire.
The cards are beyond stacked against me in terms of being risky and dangerous.
And that's an understatement.
But I just looked at the contrast.
I looked at what was at stake, and nothing was standing against this.
So I told her, I think it's just going to get to the point where I can't take it anymore.
And the moment I decided absolutely to run was when I just sat quietly and looked and thought about it.
And the only way I can describe it is that my soul was burning.
I could feel it.
I mean, I kind of feel it now, to be honest with you.
And I tried to think about not, you know, maybe I just live my life, just try to build my watch business and help students and things.
And I thought about that.
And the more I did, I realized I don't think I could be happy if I didn't do this.
I'd feel like my soul died.
So, in a matter of speaking, I did what I felt compelled to do push back.
So, That's why I'm running in the Republican primary against Vivek Ramaswamy, who I think is the worst candidate possible as a Republican.
Heck, he didn't even become a Republican until 2024, I hear, and that was the vote for himself.
Every chance we get, I like to kind of rewind the tape on Vivek's career because, like you said, he really came out of nowhere.
But the way he got his wealth, at least in part, was he founded a biosciences company in 2015.
One of his subsidiaries, Axavant Sciences, he bought a, I believe it was an.
Alzheimer's drug, and he hyped it up, including using his mom to do so.
And the company would have had a public offering swelled to $3 billion market cap.
And he takes this massive payout.
But in 2017, the company announces that their clinical trials had failed.
The drug that everyone had thought would be a blockbuster, the first on the market to treat this disease that would basically have its whole share of the market cap.
Oh, what a surprise it failed, just like it failed all its previous trials.
But Vivek, of course, walked away from that.
The shareholders, they got gypped.
The private equity that they bought portions of the company that he sold to when the market cap was high, they didn't get a return on their value.
Vivek went home with a handsome paycheck.
And then, like you said, he comes in in the primary in 2023, 2024, and he kind of does this same pivot.
He pivots to the front of something, gets there when the getting is good.
So he was the one saying, There's only two genders, God is real.
Now, very important question is, which God is real, Vivek?
Which of the millions of God in Hinduism are real?
But he pivoted right as the turn against wokeness was kind of happening, and he said all the right things.
And it was pretty impressive because he jumps out and he gets 8% of the presidential.
I believe it's in Iowa, the first one, which is really impressive for a candidate with no political backing.
But obviously, he's not going to win the primary against Donald Trump.
So he drops out of that quickly.
He makes all these promises.
We're staying into the last state.
People believe in me.
He gets his 8%.
He gets his name recognition, drops out, and then pivots back.
And, like you said, kind of clears the field.
And it's like, I'm the guy for Ohio.
But now, Ohio is a state that Trump won, you could correct me if I'm wrong, by 12% in 2024.
And depending on the poll, it was what?
It was a lot, yeah.
Yep.
It was a very red state in that regard.
Depending on the polling, he's down potentially one to two points on a Democrat woman who locked the state down to her best capacity during COVID.
So you have this massive Trump state that votes for Trump by double digits.
He swoops in with not much of a track record to go off of.
And it's looking like he could lose the state if he's selected in the primary for the Republican Party.
Yeah, I agree with that wholeheartedly.
It's pretty obvious that he will lose the state.
Now, we also have to point out this is a red state.
This is on the wave of Donald Trump getting office with everybody, including myself, supporting him for that.
Donald Trump, that is.
And he's going up against Amy Acton, a Democrat candidate who not only helped lock down the state, mind you, she resigned as the health director, citing reasons that there was too much pressure.
I'm actually not kidding about that.
So the Democrats' best candidate is a person who quit, and they think they're going to put that person at the helm of the Ship of Ohio's economy and a fleet of F 16s.
And the GOP has selected somebody who is only on paperwork American.
I don't know if he's ever even shot a gun in his life, let alone cares about 2A or the First Amendment.
Vivek's American Identity Lie00:07:59
And who I'm seeing things, and perhaps you have researched this and seen it.
It appears that Vivek was on the board advising DeWine and Amy Lockdown, or Amy, yeah, Amy Lockdown, Amy Agden to lock down the state.
It's truly absurd when both sides are completely sold out in terms of the state level parties and spitting in our face and telling us it's rain.
Yeah, I completely agree.
It seems like the only two options that we really have these days is completely woke or soft woke.
And there's a lot of people on social media saying, oh, it's the woke right, it's the exact same as the woke left.
The key difference is there's at least two.
When you think of the woke left, you think of the Summer of Love and George Floyd, you think of the branch Covidians and all, you know, canceling churches and locking people down in their homes and people losing their businesses and people being arrested and all these kinds of things.
You think of woke left.
The narratives that came out of that, especially as it pertains to social justice and race and these kinds of things, first, it was a lie.
You have guys like LeBron James saying that he's afraid to go out his front door because he's being hunted in the street.
You know, that all these, you know, just, I mean, the average person was under the impression back in 2020 and 2021 that it was literally thousands of black men annually that were unarmed and shot by police officers, which I would say that it wasn't even close to that.
It was like 12, but it would help to have more male police officers in terms of not shooting people, you know, who are not actually dangerous.
A lot of times that is female police officers.
But the point is that it was a lie that black people are being oppressed and minorities are being overlooked and there's discrimination against this group and against that group.
So, first, it was a lie.
And then, secondly, the people, these minority groups, especially immigrants, that's very different than heritage blacks who could trace back their ancestry 400 years, descendants of slaves.
They've been in America a very long time, a part of the American project.
That's different than a Haitian who's been here for 15 minutes.
But then you started getting rhetoric, not just about George Floyd, but about Haitians and Somalians, and oh, it's so sad, and they're discriminated against, and all these kinds of things.
And so it was a lie, but also it was if there's any group that we should be the most concerned about, you would think that it would be the heritage Americans who built the country, who have been here the longest.
We know what the founders.
Said when the question is raised, you know, who did you bleed and sweat and die for?
Like, what in building this country at great cost to yourself, who did you have in mind?
And they answer that question for us and our posterity, right?
You don't have John Adams saying for India, you know, that it's for us and our posterity, for their children, that the children of heritage Americans were supposed to be the recipients of.
All of this blessing that was stored up by faithfulness and hard work.
And so the woke left, I think of Summer of Love 2020, 2021, 2022, kind of the high watermark.
One, it was a lie.
Oh, there's discrimination against minorities.
Meanwhile, there was actually discrimination on the books with Ivy League schools, right?
And their admissions process, with Fortune 500 companies and their DI hiring metrics, and not to mention H 1B visas.
And so, in all these ways, it was a lie.
There was actually, if anything, there was.
There was cataloged, and people have done this and shown the receipts.
There was cataloged objective discrimination against heritage Americans, not against all these minorities.
So it was a lie.
But then, number two, if there's any group, and if there's any group that we should be extra careful not to discriminate against, you would think that it would be the group of people that the founders of our nation said they were building the nation for, for us and our posterity.
So, right now, You see on social media, I see it all the time.
Well, it's woke left and it's woke right.
But I think that framework is wrong.
The way I would describe it is no, it's hard woke, soft woke.
That's like a Vivek.
He would fall into that category.
And then just not woke, traditional, objective.
And so my point is that I feel like guys like Vivek are, they'd like to make themselves sound like, well, I'm normal.
And someone like Casey, he's a far right extremist or he's woke right or whatever.
No, it is still.
The heart of wokeness and social justice and these kinds of things, it's propositional nationhood.
What does it mean to be an American?
Matt Walsh, you know, he did a great documentary, What is a Woman?
I feel like what we need right now is the answer to the question, What is an American?
And Vivek is an American citizen in terms of he actually has the document, he has the paper, as far as we know.
But that doesn't make you.
An American.
I can become a Japanese citizen.
I can move my family over there and go through the process and maybe be granted, but I'll never be Japanese.
Vivek will never be an American.
That doesn't mean that we hate non Americans.
That doesn't mean that we should exploit or mistreat non Americans.
But if we're going to have a country, we have to be able to say what a country is.
And I think that it's more than what I'm about to state, but it can never be less.
A nation is a people and place.
I would argue, you know, people and place, lineage and land.
And it's more than just that.
It's lineage, it's land, it's also language and loves and liturgy, worship, tradition, religion, it's culture, all these things.
But we've gotten to the point where we're trying to answer the question what is a nation with not more than lineage and land, people and place, but less than?
We're trying to say that you can actually answer the question what is it?
What is Japan?
What is it to be Japanese?
And you can somehow take out Japanese personhood and yet still faithfully answer that question.
What it means to be Japanese is to really enjoy sushi.
Well, then I'm Japanese.
I like sushi.
You know, like what it means to be Japanese is to appreciate a good samurai movie.
Okay, well, then I guess I'm Japanese.
And so we're not trying to be rude.
I've watched you, Casey.
I haven't detected malice or being a jerk.
But I think that part of what you're running on and the groundswell behind you is people, heritage Americans, the descendants of people who built the country, people who have been here longer than just 15 minutes.
I mean, Vivek is an anchor baby.
His parents, I think his father's still not an American citizen.
And I think people are getting behind you because they're saying, look, it means something to be an American.
And for a state governor, I would like my state governor to actually be.
Dividing Heritage Americans00:06:44
A true member of this country.
What do you think about that?
Lots of good things to unpack.
First, I have to say, just beyond me being an Ohio guy, I've got an amazing team and some really incredible policy that is set up first and foremost and only for the betterment of the people of Ohio.
I could care less about billionaires and corporations at this moment unless their best interest is specifically first and foremost the people of Ohio.
Now, you spoke of the various forms of woke that's being spoken about.
Now, perfectly honest, I would be happy never to hear that word again in any of its iterations because it has served no one.
It's also clear to me that all that happens politically is that whether it can even just be the left-right or the varying forms of woke or any label they want to put on anybody is only a means of control and division.
Because when you divide people, you have the opportunity to control groups of them.
And control is only a matter of power, political power.
So, the other thing I want to point out are just the lies that exist for leverage.
For instance, school shootings, very, very sad, very emotional thing, very scary.
But one day I decided to ask Rock, you know, give me the list of the numbers of all the people that have died by a whole list of things over the course of a year.
And I said, you know, mass school shootings, K through 12, where, you know, two or more people die.
And it was 16.8 people a year.
I said, how many people, K through 12, die a year just going to school in recess and gym class?
Something like 240.
Just want to point out that then, if you look at how many people get hit by a car and die a year in America, it's like 7,500.
How many veterans commit suicide a year?
6,000.
More veterans commit suicide than die in combat a year in the United States.
Now, I just want to point that out because you'd think school shootings were the worst possible thing in the world.
Many, many more just die by virtue of going to gym class and recess normally.
So that's an example of how political leverage and manipulation of our emotions is used against us politically to divide us, to take away our rights, for instance, gun rights, which is so that we can defend ourselves, not only against a home invader, but a totalitarian government that's off the rails.
So I don't like these labels and I don't like division.
And for instance, Vivek, Has been using just that to divide us.
You know, he's had his silly crash outs during Christmas time last year and all.
But if we look at about the same time that I announced my candidacy for Ohio governor, he wrote an op ed article in the New York Times, and it was originally entitled, What is an American?
And I know that because I did a response video with the thumbnail saying, I'm American, loser.
And Vivek in it wrote, effectively, he was setting everybody up to corral them.
Setting it up, why he's an American, why everybody's American on paper, why he's saying it's just an idea.
But he was doing so that if you disagree with him, it's not because he's a crappy candidate and doesn't care about anybody and his actions show that.
And he's facing RICO charges and his bodyguard is facing federal drug trafficking charges and things.
No, it's because you're racist.
And it was all clear tactical advantage in social engineering that is typically leftist.
Considering he's supposed to be the GOP Republican candidate.
But then just a short time later at Amfest, the VEC doubles down with a speech effectively saying the same thing, where now we have somebody who meets the definition of anchor baby, whose parents are from India, who I'm thinking in the 1980s was a third world country.
I'm still waiting for India to build a cool sports car.
Not to be silly, but you know, let's, yeah, I typically like it.
Well, yeah, but think about it this way.
You know, people are like, well, should we let Haitians and Somalians and Indians come in here?
Do we want to do that?
I'm like, their countries can't even build a cool car.
Why?
Why?
A little tongue in cheek, but kind of serious.
But anyway, Vivek writes these articles to set us all up and corral us.
So he gets massive backlash over that speech because he's trying to say, What is an American?
Well, how do I not get insulted?
And how does everybody not get insulted with this man who's done nothing for anybody despite his mass wealth and was born to Indian foreign nationals saying what an American is?
You'll notice the folded flag over here was my grandfather that landed on the beach on Easter Sunday, 1945, Battle of Okinawa.
That man was a great mentor of mine, and he was an.
Incredible community and family person, doctor of optometry, graduated Ohio State University in 1950 on the GI Bill.
You know, over there, the little picture was his younger brother, my great uncle, who flew F 4 Phantoms in Vietnam and nuclear B 52s during the Cold War and flew for the Ohio Air Guard.
And one of his planes is in the National Museum of the Air Force at Wright Patterson, Dayton.
You know, and then their father fought in both world wars.
And their father before that was in the cavalry.
We still have the bugle.
You know, and while war is something that we should at all Cost avoid, one would hope.
The families that go back fight for our tomorrow.
They fight for the ideals of the United States.
They are the land.
They are the future.
They are the people.
They are the soil.
I'm a product of that.
My father got to enjoy the good times created by strong men.
And we had a small business.
It was just a little nothing country golf course.
But we worked six o'clock in the morning, 10 o'clock at night, seven days a week.
I never went on vacation in the summer as a kid.
We worked.
Could be anything from Sharpening blades on a diesel tractor, fixing golf carts, to mowing, to looking after the people.
And I experienced connecting with God only knows tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands of people growing up and hearing them and their stories.
A blue collar, white collar, World War II vets telling stories on the 19th hole with a pitcher of beer.
I'm a product of all of these people, all of these fine Americans who cared.
They cared about their country.
They cared about tomorrow.
They cared about children, their community, their neighborhood.
They cared about God.
Property Tax and Cheap Labor00:14:45
This is a Christian country in that regard.
And now we have Vivek Ramaswamy, who's running as a Republican, our conservative ticket, clearly bought his way in.
What alternate reality is this?
Now, perhaps you understand why my soul was burning to run against him.
Yeah, yeah, I get it.
I get it.
All right.
So, what are some of the clear things?
That you are going to seek to accomplish as governor of Ohio?
One of the first things that scares the heck out of people are these data centers.
They're effectively being slipped in under the cover of night with massive NDA forms and a few hundred of these, which is very unusual.
It wasn't that long ago that I saw one being built between my home and where I drive to my shop and such.
And I'm like, is this a massive housing development?
But then I learned what it is.
Now, a data center, all it does is think.
And produce heat.
That's it.
These are multi billion dollar projects each, maybe just a billion for a small one, that have tax abatements for 10 or 15 years.
What?
Then we have to subsidize the cost of the electricity through skyrocketing electricity bills because there's no really new power generation created, unless, of course, they bring in a bunch of auxiliary giant gas generators to generate extra electricity.
So we're subsidizing the cost of their electricity.
But also, they use massive quantities of fresh water to cool them because, other than thinking, the only thing they do is they're a big heater.
And Ohio has Lake Erie, has the Ohio River, the rest of our rivers and streams, but our aquifers for farmers.
The diabolical thing is just how much water that uses and potentially pollutes and heats up.
They create a very small amount of maintenance jobs.
When you consider the salaries there, you know, a billion plus dollar project, people are subsidized the cost of electricity and all the tax abatements may only inject a few million dollars into a local economy.
That's absolutely nothing.
The data centers, the way they're set up right now, Were slipped in and are absolutely a net loss to all the people of Ohio.
For what purpose and why?
And I know this is just one thing, and I'll go into others, but this is a big key.
And I think this shows the mindset and the actual leadership direction of what we have in there.
But the data centers, why did they come to Ohio and others?
Well, Ohio is a key state because we already had good power generation, generally speaking, good infrastructure with people and communities and industry and such.
So they're taking advantage of us.
Because now the world is locked in an AI and data arms race that, in some ways, parallels the nuclear proliferation age.
So, this has to be done at all costs, but the cost is against the people.
And what's even more diabolical is the amount of untold power that happens with computing and, of course, AI to control and manipulate all of us, of which I've done numerous videos, effectively jailbreaking AI systems to show, as well as get it to admit.
Where its guardrails and programming are, and what it's actually doing to us.
It's diabolical that effectively we're paying for the things that will control us.
And just another note on that one of the reasons I became super critical of our president this past summer, despite supporting him, of course, was unregulated AI and the big beautiful bill to where no state can push back for 10 years.
That's game over.
That's game over for the government and the nation.
Think about it.
What protection do we have as individuals for our face, for our likeness, for our voice, for our IP?
AI is basically the biggest thieving entity ever created in the world, not to mention robbing everything about us and all of our information to use against us, but just robbing the very human experience.
So I wanted to bring that up because this shows just profoundly terrible leadership in that regard.
You know, as another note, H 1Bs, that's a federal issue, the H 1B visas.
But that's something that bothers me both on a personal level as well as a professional.
Because again, I tell you, for 11 years, I've been mentoring the best young college engineering students and giving them the practical skills.
That they don't get in school by building airplanes, by building professional level racing cars and mentoring them in automobile design.
And they get unbelievable jobs everywhere from like Lockheed Martin to GM, Marathon, even Tesla, and loads of startups.
And that done that at my own cost.
You know, I've gotten some presidential awards and got to fly with the Thunderbirds, but done that at my own cost.
So these H 1B visas that Vivek touts.
And if a politician or anyone says we need those because we don't have skilled enough people in the States, they are lying to you.
For the benefit of big corporations that save hundreds of millions of dollars by hiring cheap labor, primarily from India, which is highly coincidental because somebody that's running is basically Indian, isn't he?
So, what happens are the companies can hire all these H 1Bs from India, pay them less money.
So, what we've done is we've unfairly created competition in the job market to our native Ohioans and Americans that have done it right.
They've gotten good grades, they studied, they've worked hard, they have a good family.
Maybe they've gone in debt for school.
And now there's all this competition because we just brought in cheap labor from a dissimilar culture that cares nothing about us and our history and our ideals and our roots.
Well, the other thing you do is guess what's going to happen?
The salaries on the job market are going to go down.
So, we're replacing the native population, literally, for the short term games of corporations that care nothing about us, for a people, a dissimilar culture who care nothing about us.
So, anytime a politician or anybody else says we don't have good enough people here, not only are they lying, they're just showing that they never put any effort into understanding where our educational system can be better.
Well, I've been doing that for 11 years and I know it inside now.
So, things obviously relating to education, but Since H 1Bs is a federal level issue, I want to, as Donald Trump might say, roadblock the hell out of them.
There's ways to do things for, shall we say, corporations and big entities where it's not in their best interest to hire that.
And it will be in their best interest to help our culture, our people, our state do right by others in the future.
And I know that.
So, education, there's other issues too.
This is an interesting one property tax on personal homes.
As well as stopping corporations and private equity companies from being able to buy private homes.
So let's talk about the second one first.
If much corporations, private equity, whatnot, can buy all your homes, they can out compete individuals by buying them right now, just spending a little bit more money.
Maybe they offer 5, 10, 15, 20 grand more, whatever.
So they buy them.
They hold a lot of them in their portfolio.
It's worth certain equity, et cetera.
But by doing that, they also have another opportunity.
They can completely change and alter the market, inflate the price of houses.
The gutless politicians won't say anything because, hey, they might have to pay more property tax, right?
And the people in it probably won't say much because they'll look around and go, this is weird, but I think I'm worth more money because my house is worth more.
But then they can take out more loans and be more in debt.
But what we've immediately done is destroyed the future for young people, young native people that are trying to raise a family, want to have a future.
Well, how are they going to do that now if they rent in perpetuity?
The future with cheap labor and such.
Are you kidding me?
But the other aspect is private property.
Think of our seniors.
They've worked their entire life to own their own home.
But effectively, with the property taxes, they just have to rent it from the government.
And if the government just keeps screwing everything up, our future, our economy, massive inflation, make it part of there's less jobs and whatnot.
Oh, but then if you don't pay your property taxes, they'll just come and take your house, won't they?
And what's a senior going to do?
And what about being able to pass on their house to the next generation, generational wealth?
Just keep it there so people can build a better tomorrow.
Because last time I checked, it's the people that make a future great.
I'll give you another example.
And before I do that, I have to say this regarding property tax.
If you take that away, what it does to the government is take away some of their power, gives it to the people.
Because then it'll force one, the government to be fiscally accountable and responsible with their money.
But two, when you have to look at how we're funding things such as schools and police and fire and such, it'll have to come to a vote.
Which will give the people the power again.
There's also issues relating to property tax because about two thirds of it, maybe a touch more, goes to schools.
And the majority of school funding comes from property tax, which is actually not even constitutional with the Ohio law.
And just the waste, fraud, and abuse in the government alone, which we can get into later, if you see the Somali related scandals going on up in Minnesota, the tunes of more than $10 billion, it's sounding like, pushing 20.
We have the same kind of stuff that looks to be happening in Ohio to a similar magnitude.
And there's going to be more.
You know, the Ohio spending has gone to nearly $100 billion, doubled in the last 15 years alone.
You don't think we can't find enough wrong there to be able to fund the schools without property tax?
It's giving power back to the people so they can have a future.
And the last note I wanted to make that I was going to say it's the people that build the future.
You may have seen at the early part of last year, I was on Tucker Carlson's show as a normie talking about my Omega car.
And that was my recycle car concept that I built some years ago because I was annoyed Obama was lying to everybody about what he was going to do.
It's diesel powered.
And I said over 10 years ago, it will get over 100 miles a gallon and do 060 in less than five seconds.
Mark my words.
And I built it.
I kept it forever.
And I didn't do much with it because I didn't have a voice back then.
And if nobody knows you have it, it doesn't exist.
But as I became an automotive YouTuber to try to get more exposure to the nonprofit I was doing and grow that, we, of course, had Donald Trump running against Kamala.
And we saw how administrations such as Gavin Newsom, In California, and Joe Biden were going to create electric vehicle mandates, manding that all new cars sold by a certain time had to be electric, or the vast majority thereof, which one destroys innovation and I think is wrong.
And two, government regulation of industry is one of the mechanical points of fascism.
So I know the left likes to call anybody right wing that remotely likes their country a fascist.
It's funny because that's exactly what the left were doing.
They were doing fascist tactics.
So anyway, I couldn't think of a Kamala presidency, and I thought I need to speak out.
About this, I'm going to test my car, get some numbers and think about it and speak out.
So, the first day I tested that, and I'm coming to a point with this, by the way, the first day I tested it, just driving to the countryside with stop signs and turns and everything, it got 104.72 miles to the gallon the first try with no extra tuning.
And I didn't even have its normal aerodynamic fairings on.
The next day, and this is with like 10, 12 year old tires that are getting dried out, I did some zero to 60 testing with accelerometers and GPS on it, measured it precisely from a true stop.
And I also did that with my 93 Dodge Viper RT10, a C7 Grand Sport Corvette, and a Tesla Model 3 rear wheel drive with a full charge.
And my 100 plus mile a gallon diesel car out accelerated my Dodge Viper two tenths of a second and exactly matched the Corvette and the Tesla, 060.
And so the third day, I figured hey, the EPA has probably got some numbers on carbon offset and whatnot.
Should be able to calculate what the carbon footprint is of burning a gallon of diesel.
And what's the carbon footprint of generating a kilowatt hour of electricity?
Not even considering losses in the grid, national average in the US.
So I did a little math, then.
It wasn't hard.
And my car on straight diesel alone has a lower carbon footprint per mile than an EV, blowing the entirety of the leftist narrative.
It's also cheap to manufacture, and its manufacturing has a wildly lower carbon footprint, certainly, than an EV and even more than a conventional car.
Yet our government is doing nothing, and there's nothing happening for people to innovate.
So, with regard to Ohio, what I would do, darn right, we're going to facilitate the ability for people to be able to actually innovate.
And have a government that cares about the future, that people can do something about it.
There needs to be the opportunity to bring manufacturing back.
Toledo, Cleveland, Dayton, these are places that have people that want to work and have great places to build industry, but there's no good projects with a good ROI for manufacturing.
You know, I'm sitting at my watchmaking desk, and the watch I'm wearing here now, I built to meet the NASA requirements for an astronaut watch.
So, you know, we have tariffs, and this is an international, national level thing, but we have tariffs to try to push manufacturing to be back in the States, and I could build a watch company.
Supply the watches to the Artemis missions that this year and the next two are going to the moon.
But where's the incentive?
What's the government doing to help facilitate the people create or build anything?
I don't find it.
I don't see it.
Heck, I got millions of people hearing about the Omega car after Tucker and before.
And all I had were a few private equity guys or VC guys just trying to figure out how to leverage me, steal my IP, and do that.
And then when they realize, oh my God, this guy's just a good leader and engineer, they bounce.
But I say that because we have the Wright brothers in Ohio.
They were bicycle mechanics that looked and thought and dreamed.
They built wind tunnels, functioning wind tunnels, well over 100 years ago to test airfoils, built their own aircraft, tested it.
You think that kind of stuff can happen anymore in Ohio?
Heck no, and I'm proof.
That's why I'm running because the walls are closing in on all of us socially, economically.
Like that scene in the first Star Wars where they try to escape through the garbage chute and end up in the garbage compactor and need R2 to save them.
We're all being corralled and crushed socially.
We're being divided.
We have no way to facilitate worthwhile industry or jobs.
We're being sold out to tech billionaire tech bros with data centers that are being slipped in to take advantage of us.
And no facilitation is being done so people can build a company with real products, build a car and innovation tomorrow, or even my nonprofit educational program.
America First or Just a Jersey00:13:56
I've been helping out the best young people who have a brain, they have a heart, and they want to work.
None of them have had to be charged to be there.
I found support for them.
The reason I got awards from presidents is because I don't get paid to be there.
I did it because it's the right thing to do.
And I tell you this in Ohio, we have something called, I think it's called Ohio Means Jobs.
And there's people salaried in all the counties to go around and find educational programs.
That young people of the same age group I teach, 18 to 24, 25 years old, they will pay a minimum of $7,000 a year for up to two years.
And they will pay the first month, six month salary of a job for young people in exactly the same way what I'm doing with Gina's career.
I think this is great.
This is great.
This is going to move forward.
This is going to move the ball forward for the nation, industry, and young people.
Oh, wait, there's a catch.
They only do that if you're an ex felon, drug addict, alcoholic, born into extreme poverty, et cetera.
So our state and our government will throw money.
At people who have a very hard time even thinking of working or being contributing or simply don't want to and have done the right choices to do it, but nothing for people that want to and can.
That's where we're at in society right now, and it's not acceptable.
You know, another detail, and then I'll let you have it back because I could talk for days on these.
No, that's good.
What confidence do any of us have anymore in one hour government, let's be honest, and law?
You know, one thing that I'll be honest scares the absolute living heck.
And I'd like to use more mechanic military words right now to emphasize, but I'm being nice on your show.
It scares the heck out of me.
Lawfare.
Any of these centimillionaires or billionaires could just set me up and lawfare me in oblivion at 14 ways till Sunday.
Is that right in America where we're supposed to have balanced law for everybody?
If somebody can't afford an attorney, they have a public defender, right?
An attorney will be appointed to you, blah, blah, blah.
But those kinds of people have such insane caseloads.
And are barely putting in any effort.
Do you think those people that can't afford a public defender are getting a fair shake of it in court?
I don't think so.
I think we all know that.
Radicalized judges that let career criminals continually put them back on the street?
And not to use a name to be overly dramatic, but Irina Zarutska?
Dear God, at what point do the people go, our entire legal system is broken down?
There's nothing fair for the people other than to be quiet and mind your own business.
We're being censored into oblivion.
You know, and not long ago it was COVID.
They censored you in oblivion that way.
Nowadays it all happens to be with one teeny tiny nation that can't get along with anybody on the eastern side of the Mediterranean.
You blink sideways, you're in big trouble now.
So, our First Amendment rights are being taken away there.
At what point do the people realize there's only one solution left?
And it probably has to do with another amendment that comes right after.
The reason I'm here is because things are that bad.
All I've wanted to do my whole life was live my life, create, build things, invent a business, help people learn, have a family.
Enjoy my community, do some art, make a cool car, go racing.
But we can't even live.
We can't even believe in a tomorrow.
Young people can't even believe they're going to be able to afford a home.
And now we have a billionaire, paperwork American born to Indian foreign nationals who's done nothing for no one, who's connected with all the wrong people.
When his bodyguard gets arrested on federal drug trafficking charges when he wasn't even licensed to be a bodyguard, next thing you know, the public tracks a private jet to the Turk and Caicos Islands that seems to be associated.
Like, What on earth about Vivek, my competition, is remotely actually American or conservative?
Nothing.
What?
Other than the fact that they bought their way on every single podcast the last two, three years just to make him famous.
That's it.
So I know I went on a long topic here, but running is more than just, I don't like that guy.
Somebody needs to do it.
You know, yeah, I'm Ohio through and through.
Okay.
44 years old.
I have a wife.
I have a nice little daughter.
We got a bun in the oven.
This is insanely dangerous.
But it's like this.
If you know, we have a choice, you can stay seated and silent when you watch some horrible thing happen, or you can stand and fight.
If you stand and speak out, we learned during cancel culture, you risk losing everything just saying no, no, speak.
You know, so if you stand and fight, you may risk losing everything.
But if we stay seated and silent, we ensure it.
And I can't think of anything worse than sitting down and watching everything beautiful build by all the people, the good people that came before me.
Torn down and destroyed just because I didn't have the testicular fortitude or strong values of conviction and spirit to stand against it.
That's why I'm here, guys.
Amen.
Well said.
Yeah, it really comes down more and more, coming to a crux that it's between America as an idea and America as a people and place.
That's really the big question.
And it's kind of sad, you know, but this is how God often works.
You know, He uses by His providence.
Difficulty, challenge, trials, tribulation, in order to wake us up out of our slumber.
The reality is that I was not always thinking this way.
Many Americans were not always thinking this way.
These are things that people started to wake up to, honestly, in a very recent fashion.
2020 was an eye opening moment for a lot of Americans, myself included.
And then, you know, it was kind of one wave after another, another providential event, and another one to where we realized, oh, wait a second.
Our freedoms are eroding.
Our country is disappearing.
Our people are being replaced and disappearing.
And so that really is, I feel like, all over the nation.
I think of you, I think of James Fishback in Florida.
What's on the ballot right now is America as an idea that belongs to the world, or America as a nation that is comprised of people and place.
America for Americans.
America first has to mean Americans first.
And you have to be able to answer that question.
What is an American?
It has to be more than just propositional.
It has to be a real people with heritage, with lineage, with a stake in the country.
People who, like you, Casey, can point to their father and point to their grandfather and point to their great grandfather who all had a part to play in this country that we love.
Any answer to the question, what is an American, that discludes that is a dishonest question.
Scamming, right?
That makes me think of Vivek, but a scamming answer to the question.
So, if we're really America first, it can't just be America like a sports team, you know, where it's the jersey and really anybody can wear it.
You know, when you think of, you know, the NFL, all right, I'll try not to, you know, poke too much fun at them.
I understand that there's a lot of football fans out there, but there's no real allegiance, or if there is, it's fairly rare, right?
This guy could have played, you know, three seasons in a row and was born and raised.
In Chicago.
And then all of a sudden, you know, because of a bigger paycheck, he's traded over to the other side of the country and now plays for a different team and might even make it to the Super Bowl against his home team and the place where he was born and raised.
And he's going to do everything he can to beat them, right?
His allegiance just on a dime flipped.
And that's how a lot of our politicians, even the GOP, Republican politicians, guys like Vivek, see America.
When they say America first, if they say it at all, They mean America as a sports team needs to be first against the other nations of the world when it comes to GDP must go up.
They mean America first over China, over whatever, Russia, when it comes to just wealth, when it comes to innovation.
But when it comes down to the players on the team, they believe that the players on the team are absolutely interchangeable, they're fungible widgets.
So when they say America first, they're Perfectly comfortable, they do not mean Americans first.
They're perfectly comfortable outsourcing non Americans by the millions from places like India, paying them half the wage, and Americans actually being unemployable, unable to start families, unable to own homes.
But what it does is it makes America not Americans, but America might be able to win a Super Bowl against China when it comes to the race for AI or something like that.
So, my point is what I feel like right now we're coming to all over our country, a heritage Americans waking up, seeing things in plain terms, that it's not just Democrat versus Republican.
That matters.
But deeper than that, it's who is really America first?
And when they say they're America first, do they mean Americans first?
That the members, the players on the team, actually, they need to succeed in order for America, for the win to be real?
Or do they just mean America as a jersey and anyone can put on that jersey and anyone who's worn the jersey before, if their wages are too high and it costs us with the bottom line, we'll rip that jersey off of their back and put it on Vivek?
That's really what it comes down to.
That's what it's funny you said that.
Have you heard the story about him in the Ohio State jersey?
No, I have not heard that.
Am I kind of on the nose here?
Oh, baby.
So he, if I'm not mistaken, went to Harvard and Yale.
Okay.
And recently he's been under fire because he took a scholarship from Soros family money, literally a Soros scholarship.
Now he was under fire because that $50,000 from Soros money was for the children of immigrants.
But Vivek, apparently, I hope I get these numbers right, was on tax record of already making over a half a million dollars a year while in college.
Wow.
I'm sorry, what?
And Vivek said something hilarious, hilariously awful about, well, if you had a few hundred thousand dollars in the bank, you'd take 50 grand too.
I'm like, dude, was in college.
I don't even, I would love to do that now.
So, Clearly, how out of touch he is.
However, I say that because when he's campaigning, he shows up at Ohio State football game, tailgating.
Come on.
He spends no time in Ohio or care about anybody, let alone eating like a brat and doing that.
My granddad didn't listen to a home Ohio State football game for 50 years.
So that was a big part of growing up.
But he shows up there to take pictures, and everybody called him out because the Ohio State football jersey he was wearing was bootlegged.
It was literally a bootleg jersey for a university he didn't even go to, doesn't care about.
And he's just there wearing it as a costume to try to fool people into thinking that he gives a crap about any of us.
It's amazing.
And the other thing I have to point out is I don't know if you've noticed this.
With these really creepy billionaires out there, the ones that are seriously like internationally Machiavellian, you're like, your gut is just reaming, these people are evil, just screaming.
It's funny how they all sort of tell you what they're going to do before they do it.
Do you know what I'm talking about?
It's like Vivek, when he was running for president and whatnot, he's saying, I think Ohio River Valley can be the next Silicon Valley.
And I kind of laugh at it because I'm like, the only big city that's down by Ohio River Valley is Cincinnati.
And they're not really set up for that.
The rest is relatively rural.
Well, later when we figure it out and see the data centers and who all he's connected to, that was just code for we're going to shove data centers up your tailpipe, whether you like it or not, and make you pay for it.
And I say this also, and this, if this doesn't Scream horrific to you.
I mean, he's bought his way into the Ohio GOP, the entire establishment.
And even Mike DeWine, who said that the Somali fraud going on is the price of doing business, because he's everything is fine DeWine during lockdowns and all.
Just endorsed Vivek.
I said, Thank you most kindly, because now you've shown the entire world who the globalist sellouts really are.
And I say this the person who, if I'm not mistaken, is literally the head of the Ohio GOP tweeted, And 12 hours ago, put a picture of the dude from, I think, Scarface, you know, that mafia boss guy.
Yeah.
And he writes, sadly, the worlds of politics and organized crime sometimes resemble each other.
What?
The head of the Ohio GOP that's endorsed the VEC tweets, sadly, the worlds of politics and organized crime sometimes resemble each other.
Like, we all know that, but he said it.
I. You should probably take the floor now because it's just too horrific.
Yeah.
Politics Resembling Organized Crime00:02:46
Yeah.
They say it out loud.
I always think of George Soros saying, you'll own nothing and be happy.
And they say the quiet part out loud.
And then if we don't do anything, it comes to pass.
Casey, we really appreciate you coming on the show.
Our listeners appreciate what you're doing.
You've got a lot of support on the ground.
We're encouraged to see that.
And I'm hoping.
I'm hoping that this signals an even broader shift, not just a couple of states, as significant as they are the race in Ohio, race in Florida.
But I'm hoping to see a whole new crop of a different kind of candidate that's put forward.
And I think that you and James represent that.
And I'm hoping that it doesn't end with you, but it signals to more men, young men in particular, heritage Americans, Christians.
Who love the Lord, that they would say, Yeah, enough is enough.
I'm going to get in the game.
I kept kind of just passively waiting for someone else to do it.
But sometimes the someone else never comes.
Sometimes you are the someone else and you have to get off the bench and get in the game.
So we're going to go to one last message from one of our sponsors.
We'll come back and we'll take just a few minutes.
We've got a couple of super chats that I want to be able to answer and see what you might think as well.
And that'll be the show.
All right.
So let's go to a message from our sponsors.
Here in the United States of America, we believe that we're blessed in this nation with an abundance of resources, and that it's our God given duty to exercise wise stewardship over them for the flourishing of our people, but also the security of our homeland.
See, some of our viewers, you might remember when we first featured a sponsor called Saga Medals, and since that spotlight, shares for Saga have surged by over 130%.
Now, the results are in, and they're the strongest to date.
On January 2nd, Saga released drill results from their flagship Radar Titanium project.
The market reacted immediately, sending the stock flying up over 17% in a single day.
Saga Metals is publicly traded here in the U.S. under the ticker SAGMF.
And if you're in Canada, it trades under the ticker SAGA.
Strategic government focus, multiple high potential projects, and a team pushing forward relentlessly through the winter, Saga Metals is now moving full steam ahead.
If you want to learn more about this critical mineral story, then you can check out the link in our description below.
A special thanks to Saga Metals for making today's video possible.
Universities and Foreign Influence00:11:08
Okay, we've got a couple super chats.
They're not exactly related to the topic at hand, but Antonio has been listening and curating some rapid fire questions that he wants to ask here at the bottom of the ninth for Casey.
But let's do the super chats just real quick.
Wes, go ahead.
You had an answer for one of them.
All right.
So there's a question from Nelson.
He said a super chat and asked suggestions for a good church in Huntsville, Alabama.
As I understand, it's pretty rough out there, but I have heard that Westminster Presbyterian PCA is a decent church.
So that might be one place to start.
Okay.
And then we had another super chat from Zash Kata, I guess is the name.
He said, This is why I have not used Patreon since 2020.
So true.
So true.
We thought, you know what?
We're going to give it a shot because we're going to be.
We're going to be tight, run a tight ship.
And Nick Fuentes and I, we talked about things that are controversial, but there was no cursing on the show.
There was no unhinged language or rhetoric.
And we thought, you know what?
Surely Patreon will want their share of the pie of all this money.
But no, at the end of the day, even though it was perfectly acceptable speech, they canceled us.
And like I said, just a couple hours from now, we'll be presenting publicly a solution to that.
All right, Antonio, I'm going to give you one more.
We do have one question that came in for Casey.
Okay, great.
Right here.
Braden Morris sent in a super chat and asked, Casey, this would be for you.
He said, I'm an NWO native and University of Toledo computer science student.
All of my classes are filled with Indian professors and students.
What will you, Casey, do about this?
Well, I can't comment specifically on what the exact scenario is with the professors and students, nor can I comment on them exactly.
But with regard to what we're talking about in the show, I don't think it's fair for us to have foreign nationals coming in to replace us, to outcompete us.
Because whenever you trace any of these things going on, Someone is profiting, whether that's a corporation, politics, a political party, you name it, attorneys.
There are people that do not have our best interests in mind or our future as a state in mind.
They're gaining from it.
And there's simply no reason to allow that.
So, whether it's a system like that that is allowing people in that maybe it's great for them, but last time I checked, that's not Ohio and it takes away the future from all the people already here.
You know, we look at the Somali fraud that's going to be happening with daycares.
Why was that allowed to happen?
How much has that metaphorical cancer metastasized within the government?
So the answer is simply this, I care specifically about the people of Ohio and their futures.
That's it number one, and it's to simply attack and understand at the root cause how all of these things are happening.
And i'm able to do that because I have an unbelievable team already with me and that I simply stand firm on good conservative values and the basis of who I am And why I'm here, to fight.
Good.
All right, Antonio.
Yeah, Brayton Morris actually took that question right out of my mouth.
I was going to ask, I had looked it up before the show, but I think it was something like 6% of Ohio public universities are international students, and most people are aware of the reasons why, which is foreign students, international students typically pay full tuition, and so there's sort of an incentive scheme for universities to sort of bring international students to help subsidize sort of in state and American students.
One other note, if I may, on universities that bothers me to no end.
If you have a university that's sitting on many billions of dollars of an endowment, but you could invest a fraction of that, and with the money coming in, you could pay for massive amounts of full scholarships to native people who want to work, but they're not doing that, then how is it that university has tax exempt status as a true educational institution when all they're doing is functioning as a black hole of a nation's future wealth?
Allowing many families to go wildly in debt, even with federal student loans that can't be defaulted on, to go into majors that literally have no jobs.
You see, in that structure, universities are just functioning literally as a black hole for a nation's future wealth and young people, and that's not acceptable.
So I'm going to be reviewing universities and the position of wealth they're actually in, in regard to what they're actually doing for the future, period.
Well said.
Yeah, that's something, just to frame it for the audience, too, you can even imagine, like, if you had 7,000 students admitted to a public university in any given state annually, Over the course of four years, that's 30,000 students who come in.
And naturally, these are the pipelines for all sorts of work visas.
So, whether you're in a STEM visa or H 1V visa, this is actually the way that you actually enter the lottery, oftentimes.
And so, even if you can't.
And from those visas, chain migration, I don't know if you were getting to that.
From those visas, there's oftentimes, since the Hart Seller Act, what's prioritized is families and extended families.
And so they'll get a work visa and then they'll invite their cousins, they'll invite their grandmother, they'll bring them all in, live in a single home.
And just, it's an abuse of the system.
That's not what it was meant for.
It wasn't meant to bring 30 family members in, it was meant to say, Hey, here's my parents that are aging, and I want to bring them here to work alongside me, not my entire extended family.
Right.
Well said.
All right.
A couple of rapid fire questions for you, Casey.
We're here in Texas.
It's been national news and sort of the way that Islam has flowed in and Hinduism has flowed in, and even erecting tall statues.
I think there's a similar story in North Carolina with respect to an Islamic center.
Should America be a Christian nation, and specifically, should Ohio, from a legislative perspective, what should it do about sort of religious, various non Christian religious influence in the state?
I think you don't even have to pinpoint it one place or another.
But foreign influence in general was something that George Washington warned against gravely in his farewell address for a reason.
And across the board, influence, whether it could be various religions, NGO, governmental influence, especially in our politicians buying them out, not registering as a foreign body, these will undermine our nation and our people in general.
Simply put, with my values, where I stand, specifically in the best interest of the people of Ohio, guarding against foreign influence in general, in whatever form that manifests, is a primary duty of that.
Well said.
Next one usury.
Trump recently proposed a policy of a one year ban or one year cap, I should say, on usury.
What's your perspective on usury?
Do you support legislation or executive orders in that vein?
I don't like usury.
For instance, you know, those quick check cashing type places you find in lower payday loans.
Yeah, income places.
They have psychotically high interest rates to where it's a horrific trap.
I mean, don't take that dollar bill, it's got hooks in it.
You're done.
And there's just so many different manifestations of that same scheme all throughout our country.
So we do have to be incredibly mindful of any societal traps for people and their good life and future.
Whether that's addictions through drugs or alcohol, social media addictions are horrific.
I want programs with that to help our young people.
That has destroyed the happiness of people, the productivity for the future, and even connecting with fellow human beings or building a family.
So, certainly, interest is a way to destroy a nation's wealth and to destroy a nation's future.
And it must be guarded against carefully with every power that you have.
Yeah.
All right.
Well said.
I guess one more I just want to ask quickly.
You know, we've talked about this before on our show specifically, but I think this is a conversation happening within the Republican Party and sort of Republican and party adjacent sort of discussions more broadly, which is this idea of what happens to the Republican Party post Trump?
Where does the Republican Party find its identity after Trump?
What does that look like?
I guess you can speak specifically to Ohio and where you think the party has to go.
Obviously, you've talked about the way in which the GOP is backed very thoroughly.
Vivek, how do you see that changing, and not only this election, but going forward beyond it?
Well, I think it's being sold out.
And I think it's very clear what establishment is doing it.
We can see that.
It appears to me, based upon the movement and things that are going, that just my existence and being here, regardless of how far this goes, proves that we, the people, have the ability to simply register, get it as a candidate, get your signatures, get on the ballot, get out there, start speaking.
And even just by virtue of doing that and speaking about our ideas and normal people doing that, you create a wave.
And that helps.
Rise the tide in a good way.
It brings important talking points to the forefront.
Because if we don't take part, it's the same thing as sitting down and staying silent.
You're just going to watch your future burn and be sold out, like I see it that is happening there.
Now, I think, frankly, I have a very real shot based on all the numbers and everything I'm seeing.
But I would encourage everybody, including young men and women, to, if they feel the calling to run for office, to do so.
There's a young man that I met at our first rally who's 18 years old, has been interested in politics, and he ran successfully and got elected to his school board.
And I thought that was tremendously impressive.
One other last note I'll say is that.
No one should, in my opinion, dream to be a politician.
I think that that is a duty that you do, part of your civic duty and caring about community to bring your expertise and good values to the table for the betterment of all.
And I think that once you serve a reasonable amount of time, you need to punch out and go do whatever it is you're going to do raise your family, build a business, be a farmer.
That's what the American government is supposed to be.
And I encourage everybody to take part.
We get the government we deserve.
Well said.
It reminds me of a quote.
I think it's from Plato's Republic, but he said, and it's been sort of repeated in different.
Variations, but it says something to the effect of those who seek to lead are the most unqualified for it.
And I look at Vivek and I think, you know, him being a foreigner aside, I think one of the most things that's evident in his disposition, but also the way that his career trajectory has gone, is he's a man who desperately seeks power.
He seeks power in virtually every endeavor and clearly gets some gratification from that.
So, yeah, I think that's exactly right.
I think Americans need to get better at sniffing that out, seeing that, seeing him between the lines with respect to people running for office.
