"And I love Jerry, and I want to see it happen. It's a big deal, Robbie to have your support here. 11 Arizona and I want to thank you for that. And I think it's really, really important. So Robbie, walk us through some of the candidates that you're most excited about. House candidate Senate candidates that you're really looking at. Obviously Carrie and Blake, which are great. I'm going to try to steal you to come on our live stream, by the way, on election night, which is a really magnificent thing. Our team will be in touch. But tell us what candidates are you looking at? I mean, I have to just go back to Kerry first because Carrie and I spoke long before she came out about politics and we like I just knew she was so incredible so smart right on the issues and I was like here you have got to run for office. So I'm very proud of the fact that I was here very first endorsement. And I just love her. She is going to be a superstar and I think is going to set the standard in the way descent is sort of has this governor where everybody's going to be going, hey, my governor, you need to be more like Carrie. And so it's good that we're getting these people in there that can set that standard of the new right and set that path forward so the norm becomes eventually ten years from now that the entire Congress and governors main shins and everything are filled with people like that. But in Congress, you know, I'm very excited about Anna paulina. I think she's going to bring incredible change and challenge the squad in ways they've never been challenged before. So I think she's an incredible one for people to get behind and can really, you know, she can be somebody who ends up in the Senate, ends up being governor one day. I think she's got a bright, bright, bright future. I love Blake masters because again, I think he's one of those standards setters and JD Vance as well. It's about setting that new standard. I think is very interesting because nobody expected him to win in the establishment, but I think he has a very good chance of winning in New Hampshire. Caroline levitt as well. I think she also has a very good chance of winning a New Hampshire and can be one of those young voices to challenge the squad and to challenge that progressive movement overall. But again, you know, it's the entire group that's so important because getting all of them in is so critical to having alliances built within there that the establishment can't go and suppress them. They can become change makers that have the power collectively to stop bad establishment unit party bills from happening. And so that's what's critical and it's why even if there's somebody I didn't name who is part of that group, they're also critical to get out and vote for because if you take a couple of them out, then you don't have the numbers to stop those uni party bills. I totally agree. Robbie, we're out of time. I hope to see you in Phoenix when you're here. You're a great voice. We'll get you to Congress soon. Don't give up. That whole thing was such a ridiculous theatrical nightmare. But you're doing a great job and we're behind you and thank you. The DHS thing, let me know where to sign up when to sue the government. I'm all on board for that. So I got enough stuff going on. You take the lead, I'll happily join forces with you on that. So Robbie, thank you. I appreciate it, buddy. Thanks. Thank you. Thanks. Thanks so much for listening, everybody, email me your thoughts as always freedom at Charlie Kirk dot com. Thank you so much for listening. God bless.

"But, you know, back to what I think about. Yeah, keep going. Back to what I said about the engagement levels. I mean, that's huge. I mean, I can tell you in 2020 we were getting somewhere on an average of 70 to 80 million impressions just on my Twitter a month. And in some months, it was a 100 million plus. And when you flip that into after the EIP takes action, you're talking about 20 million. 15 million. Things along those lines over the course of every 30 day period. And that's dramatic, dramatic drop off, where you're still affecting people, but nowhere near the same numbers and breaking through that message to new communities. And that was really what they were trying to protect against us. How do we keep these people from reaching new communities while making it look semi believable? And the truth is they failed because like the left often does, they like to brag about their censorship and their fascists. And they brag too much. And that's how this got out into the public sphere. To the point where now even the intercept is admitted that this is happening, because that was their first step. Is it trying to pretend this isn't happening? And the intercept, a pretty left leaning news organization. It's now admitted it. And I reached out to the writer Lee fang and I said, you know, on the record, are you able to say there's actually connection here between your story and what the EIP did to us, and he told me, yes, 100% there is a connection here and it's something he hopes to write more about. So I think the intercept is going to have further reporting on this. But I mean, if you go there, it's on my Twitter page and it's the very first thing pinned on my account, so people can read through the whole thread because it explains everything. And I think the best way to think about this is like, you know how, you know, the government, for a long time, has done this in foreign countries, where they'll have, you know, say, the CIA get involved in an election and South America somewhere. Well, this is them doing the same thing domestically that people have had a problem with them doing internationally for a very long time. And people need to understand that this is a testing moment. If we allow this, this will not just become the norm, they will press further and further down this road until we don't have elections. Yeah, no kidding. And so here's another wrinkle of this. I think we're going to do well on Tuesday if everybody votes and get your friends to vote 5, ten, 15, 20, get them out to the polls, vote, vote vote. But this is what's so interesting is did Congress authorize this? Or did DHS just do this on their own? I mean, this is a massive example of the fourth branch of government, isn't it? They just did it on their own. And again, this is the enemy of the people is that administrative state. Is that fourth branch of the government? It is the enemy of the people that does not get talked about enough. I mean, there's a couple of news stories in our country that just don't get talked about. One is excess deaths. It should be the biggest story in the world in my opinion. The other one is the administrative state in our government. It is a monster, and it has taken on a life of its own, where it essentially runs day to day government life for everything and surreptitiously overrules Congress into people's elected representatives. Now here's the other thing that's concerning. What Republican representatives Charlie have come out and said, when we take the majority, we are going to crush DHS over this and we are going to get to the bottom of it. Not enough people. I mean, I got to give Blake masters credit and JD. And they're in heated campaign. So I mean, they got to stay focused. I think they would, I think senator Vance will take this on. I do. Oh, yeah. No, I think they will. The new school, you know, this new right of people like JD Vance, Blake masters, so critical to get them in because they will go and attack this stuff. Now, in terms of current members, the only people I know of who do something maybe have been Marjorie and Rand Paul. Yeah. Yeah, and look, I think part of it though is politicians are singing off of the song sheet that we provide them, right? So when they win, and if we get them into office, we have to have an agenda here, right? We have to have marching orders and one of them needs to be an all out attack on the administrative state. And interestingly enough, going after the administrative state, I think, can actually unite some of these other weaker Republicans because philosophically they should be on board for that, right? I mean, there's a lot of kind of moderate think tank energy that has tried for years to go after the administrative state. But now those of us on the new right with the real enthusiasm, I think we can really go after this. But what is the call to action? I mean, we need to have a church in pike committee against DHS. How can you use taxpayer money to then go shut up the leading influencers on social media? How is this even remotely okay? Honestly, in my opinion, I think people need to actually go to jail over this. It's one of those lines where for Republicans crossed it. People would go to jail for it. And so we need to create a level playing field when it comes to justice. And I think that's going to take till 2024, probably. But in 2022, we need to get those hearings and they need to be serious. We need people under oath. We need there to be consequences. And we need to strip DHS of funding for anything remotely like this when we get into these omnibus bills and honestly, we need to fight to get rid of the omnibus bills. But beyond all that, we need our members to speak up. And so your casual person listening right now, if you can take 5 minutes to reach out to your representative and tell them that you expect them to go and demand hearings over this and to stop DHS from censoring people, do that. It actually makes a difference. Yeah, it does. And the new guys hopefully senator masters and definitely look like senator Vance and some of these new people, senator bulldog, which would be really interesting to see and senator laxalt, who's a great guy, right? I'm just saying this. I'm just trying to speak it into existence, right? With these, these guys run on the edge because I also want to give our base to motivation to go vote. They're like, oh, what's the difference? This is a big difference. I'm telling you right now, senator masters, senator Vance, or senator, they will take this seriously. And they will get some of these old bulls to actually care about it. Because a lot of these old bulls, they don't know what Twitter or Facebook is, they don't have no idea that a lot of them don't know what's going on. But this is, this is just one of the many issues, isn't it, Robbie, but if we are allowing DHS to use taxpayer funding to go shut up political dissidents, I mean, we're already in Soviet times. Oh, a 1000%. I mean, I would argue we're there. And it's really a matter of survival. Are we going to choose to survive as a nation and get back to the underpinnings of what we were founded on or are we going to essentially relinquish all control and authority to a group of Marxist bandits who want nothing more than to destroy everything we know and love. And you're right, a lot of the people who've been there for too long on our side, even though they may agree with us on issues, they don't get it. They don't know what time it is and it's so critical people get out and vote and elect these new people because getting just some of those voices in there is going to bring just such important change to our Congress to get people on the right. The right messaging, you know, first, that's step one, but number two to get the right bills done. And so I'm so enthusiastic. I mean, I voted yesterday because and I'm a big proponent of voting the day of on election day, but I did it yesterday because I'm so excited about Blake masters and Gary white. I'm going to make a surprise. Don't tell Carrie. I'm going to surprise Carrie and come down there to see her and Blake. Because I think they're going to win..

"Joining us now is Robbie starbuck, great guy who should be in Congress and we'll see if we can get that done one day, but he has some really important commentary and information to share about the bombshell story, the media has ignored of the Department of Homeland Security leaks, Robbie joins us now. Robbie, welcome back to the program. Thanks for having me, Charlie. Good to see you. Robbie, for those in our audience that are not caught up to date to this story because there just got a lot of things going on. We've been so focused on the election, which is where we should be focused. Walk us through this story. Yeah, so I mean, it's pretty wild. This is honestly groundbreaking in many different ways in terms of the lines crossed by the U.S. government, but essentially Department of Homeland Security and State Department, both coordinated with a group called the EIP, which stands for the election integrity partnership. It's composed of four entities. Those four entities have been given over $12 million in grants by the Biden administration, including over 3 million specifically earmarked for going and fighting misinformation through the EIP and as a part of this whole project. The EIP created an enemy's list that includes you and me and about 20 other people on it. What's unique about this list is when they made this, I was an active candidate for federal office. So this would be the first time the U.S. government has essentially engaged in open censorship paying a group and outside group to go and get involved in a political race. I'm sure given all the abuses we've seen from the FBI and DoJ that this is stuff that may have been going on for a very long time without people knowing, but they did this in a very bold manner. And so we saw the story from the intercept this week that kind of furthered this showing the portals that DHS and other entities had access to and these portals would allow outsiders within the EIP and within governments to go and make specific requests to the social media companies. Now, the question is, were they successful in censoring their political opponents? Yes, absolutely. And so they even brag about it in their report that they were successful and censoring these individuals, including you and I. And so in my case, you know, what they were able to do is get me search band. And so if you don't already follow me, you are unable to search my name out, despite having verified accounts on all platforms, you couldn't search the name out on Instagram or Twitter or those platforms because they would just hide it from you. And you would just see fake accounts. Now, in the case of you and I, what we suspect, and this is something that's going to take discovery is that there was de boosting used. And you can see that just in the engagement levels, I'm sure you can attest to after the time that EIP with this stuff out, the engagement drop dramatically in ways that just didn't make any sense. I don't mean to interrupt Robbie, but we sounded kind of so, I don't know, people accused us of being petulant and childish because I was like, oh, I'm not getting as many retweets as before, but it's legit. I mean, we used to get a 110,000 retweets a day. I know that's hard for people to believe. We have the data to prove it. We had the third most popular Twitter account for a period of time. And now it's hard to get more than 5000. You have to really work at it. I mean, this is, but it's the federal government doing this. How is it legal? It's not legal. It's illegal and honestly, you know, I think one of the next steps is groups of us have to band together and sue the federal government over this because. If we don't, it's going to continue and we're sort of the stop gap and honestly, they need to pay us damages because they did incredible damage to you your organization, me, Marjorie Taylor Greene, Donald Trump Jr., and think about the numbers of people who are not woken up because of this. You can attest to this. I get messages all the time and I know you do too from people who have their own story about how we helped wake them up and get them out of the Democratic Party. Or just ignite them as a voter and say, you know what, okay, I'm going to get active. And so the suppression was about stopping that because people like you and I are doing something dangerous to the elite, the Democratic Party to really just the entire state of being that we've seen for the elite throughout the World Economic Forum, everything. This is a global movement, not just the U.S.. And so everything they can do to suppress that is also why they're so angry about Elon Musk buying Twitter because the threat of it possibly actually becoming a free speech platform and we're not there yet, but I believe we can get there. If that truly happens, they know the outcome. They know they came to bait people like you and I, their ideas lose in the court of public opinion. If it's actually tested and on a free speech platform, it's going to be tested without us having to fear, oh, are we going to lose our accounts?.

Robby Starbuck Unpacks the Censorship Efforts of the Biden DHS

"I mean, it is, it could be a very, very interesting evening. What do you guys think about the Midwestern governorships, especially Michigan and Minnesota? Yeah, I think so. We just came out of helping tutor in Michigan. We're totally believer in her ability to win that race. You know, Minnesota. I know less about the candidate, but I do know, you know, states like Minnesota, they're always gettable if it goes the right way. And so it goes back to our previous conversation, Charlie. Are the issues laying down on the right way for us in this election. And they just are, it turns out the Democrats strategy to not debate was it better strategy than debating because when they do debate like they did when Maggie hassam debated here in New Hampshire last night, she doesn't have answers to all the issues that voters care about. Price of gasoline, what's going on with our border, escalating crime and all this stuff that's going on in schools. Yeah, I think that's exactly right. And so the final kind of call to action guys is we need to not just get people to vote, but get four or 5, ten, 20 friends also to vote. If we overwhelm the system on election day, we're going to be able to really shock the world, just talk about that a little bit mercier Matt about how we can't be complacent, even if you think the polls are going well. That's my biggest worry. That's my biggest remaining worry is people just sitting at home and not taking this seriously. You're right, Charlie. And first of all, start with prayer. This is a moment in time that we have to get down our knees and pray and know that this red wave is so important just for saving this country. Secondly, it's making sure that you are involved in being in the room where they're counting the votes. So my biggest concern in cities like Detroit and Philadelphia is what could happen there. I mean, Matt, you were in Nevada and you saw what happened in Carson City. And so and I think really Charlie being able to be in the room where the votes are being counted, being present is important. Volunteer for the job. Or take the job. Take the job. Apartheid job ten bucks an hour. Get in that room, take yourself home with you. Right. And I think that's going to be the key because remember, Pennsylvania, Charlie, they're already saying that Secretary of State, oh, it could be days before we learn about the final result of the election. That never goes well for Republicans very rarely goes well for Republicans. And it's just ridiculous. We had the winner of the election the night of 2016. We knew Trump won in an orderly fashion and now it has to take 5 to 7 to 15 to 20 days. It's an insult. Mercy and Matt, thank you guys so much. Appreciate it, talk to you soon. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you, Charlotte. I want to tell you about one of the most important organizations in the country created by cofounder of The Home Depot, Bernie Marcus, the folks at job creators network defendant advanced policies that help small business owners across America grow their business. We talk a lot about labor in the media. And we're always responding to the complaints of labor, and that's fine, obviously it's important, but who actually creates the jobs that labor actually is able to enjoy. Big business has their lobbyists, but small ones don't always have the time or money to defend themselves against the forces of global corporations, and their crony capitalist pals in the kingdom of Washington, D.C.. Job creators network, that's right, job creators network, fights for small business owners across America, and they're looking for a few good men and women to join their growing army of small business advocates.

"He can't take credit for this. It's in spite of it actually. You know, I'm kind of shocked because senator McConnell has been doing this a long time. He's a smart guy. He loves politics. But he's created a little bit of a perverse situation for it himself, where he's created some hostility with some candidates who his people around him said couldn't win, but I got news for you, Charlie. You got news for people because you and I agree. We're going to win these races. And when they come to Washington, they're going to be completely independent. By the way, what is so terrible about that? Someone who's completely divorced from the money and the power and the influence of Washington D.C.. All they have to do is what's right for their constituents. And when I look at the issue set that the American people tear back, care about. They want to get back to using American energy. They want to drill baby drill. They want to make it show that the Staples that we have to buy to take care of our families are affordable. So no more super juice in the economy with a bunch of emergency spending. And let's face it. This president is a disaster. I don't think that he ran a campaign that was fair and square last time. And I don't think he's up to the job. And I think everyone in this country understands that. I think the president's wife understands that. Yeah, I mean, he's not a good person either. He's a very cruel and pouty and small man. He's not a good person. That's right. Matt, we have you for another segment. How do people support you cpac what website? Well, today they can support us by just going out and voting for the nearest pro American candidate they can find, but you can follow me on at M slap on Twitter and go to conservative dot org. If you want to help out seat back and come hang out with us or turning point, these couple of groups out there in this country, we're going to save this country if we all work together. Are you tired of feeling tired? I've never experienced anything quite like the new strong cell product seriously. I take it every day. It's amazing. You've got to read up on everything that has been packed into these tiny little bottles, strong cell is a new scientific cocktail of cellular level replenishment. I take it before every show every day. In fact, one of our team members showed it to me. I said, I love it. Can we partner with these guys? And boom, here we are. It's so simple. Just drink one bottle of strong cell liquid per day, and the strong cell bottles that arrive your home include NADH, boy, I could go on about NAD. It's a coenzyme for creating natural energy and restoration in your body cells. It also contains collagen, well documented for its vast health benefits. Your body should experience an energy boost the first week, there have been 15 days to start noticing even more benefits. 30 days, you'll be feeling much different. Do me a favor and consider giving the supplement the full four weeks versus one bottle to realize the best results for you. The formula is designed to generate long-term positive change, unlike energy drinks..

"That. But we're dealing up against some very treacherous and sneaky people. Can you expand on that, Matt? Yeah, so let's go through 2020. The reason why you and I were so concerned in 2020 is because we didn't see the legal infrastructure in the Trump campaign at the RNC, and we knew that all these ballots, like I had been on the ground in Nevada, there was all these straight paper ballots. And we're trying to get our own team to wake up because every time they gave us a presentation on how they were going to prepare for the fraud, we could see that it was threadbare, and they weren't ready for it. The reason why people like me, the reason why I'm so bullish and saying it's going to be a big red wave is because I feel like when they overturn roe V wade, there was a concerted effort by establishment Republicans and people in the media to say that the Republican Party can't win if it stands up for its pro life values. So the reason I was saying big red wave is number one, I believe that it's going to be a big red wave, but the second reason is because I didn't want the media to manipulate consumers of media into thinking that somehow the pro life issue was going to hurt us. It's going to help us all over the country, but your last point is a very, very important point. I do think there's been a lot of learnings. I was just on the ground in North Carolina with Ted Budd. Chairman Michael watley and the other folks, they have literally hundreds of lawyers ready. He was actually ready in 2020. We didn't need them in North Carolina. You know, it's a strange thing in politics, Charlie. When you prepare for something like voter fraud, it's amazing how many times you don't need to use the infrastructure because the other side knows we're ready. What I'm seeing on the ground in these races is that quietly we put legal teams together in many of these states, not all of them. You would know better about Arizona, but I think we're ready for the fraud. And it could come similar to last time. Yeah, I think that's right. And I don't want to see too much early celebration and Matt. We got to overwhelm the system on election day. I think we're going to see presidential style Republican turnout. I think people are going to be completely and totally blown away. And independence are already trending and breaking our way. So again, on Nevada, you think Adam laxalt has it? You know, he'd be mad at me if I said he had it because he wants to run through the tape. That's right. He's not a great reason. The only polls that show Adam laxalt down are polls that are continuing to pull registered voters and what you want to do is pull registered voters who are also likely voters. So if you're right, we have presidential level turnout, it still means that you want to get that population of registered voters who are going to turn out. When you look at those polls, we're up in every single statewide race that matters up in every single one. And then you have New Hampshire. You just brought up Blake masters in Arizona. These races that the D.C. smart guys told us were impossible to win. I think we're going to win them. Well, and Matt, that's a really fires me up. And why is it that all, I mean, McConnell, he pulls $9 million to go help Murkowski in Alaska and completely abandons Blake masters and baldick. I mean, this needs to be known. The marker needs to be thrown on the field right now that if we win New Hampshire in Arizona, it is not because of McConnell..

CPAC's Matt Schlapp Discusses the Political Climate of New Hampshire
"Joining us now is the man behind cpac, great organization and also really understands what's happening in the midterm elections. Better than almost anybody else. Matt schlapp joins us right now. Matt, welcome back to the program. Hey, Charlie, great to be with you from loud New Hampshire. Tell us, what is the vibe on the ground? Do you think both can pull this off? Yeah, for sure. Talked with the general. We just had a town hall in this tavern, and I just came from Nevada, by the way, Adam laxalt is closing really strong in New Hampshire. A lot of people have been tracked New Hampshire because the D.C. insiders didn't they told us it wasn't a pickup opportunity, but I'm here to tell you, Charlie. General's going to win this race in New Hampshire. If you look at just the environment of the issues, it all goes our way. It's all just about defending America. So in New Hampshire, it's a tricky state because Matt you and I have heard for years that New Hampshire is possibly able to be won by Republicans, but it always feels like a near miss state. Why do you think this year is different? Well, I think this year is different because just look at the fundamentals in polling on what the people care about. It really cuts our way. New Hampshire, you know, the big mistake we make in America as we say, oh, there's red states and we say there's blue states. And we assume that some kind of like a lifetime contract, but politics is different. You know that 'cause you're down there in Arizona. It's always changing and what I've noticed just being on the ground in a short time in New Hampshire is what made New Hampshire solidly Republican in previous cycles. I think, is it play again? Our constitution our basic rights as citizens are right to govern ourselves and our own lives and for the government to get out. And not dictate every part of our life. You know, there's a libertarian flair to that that really plays well in a state that whose motto is live free or die.

'Culture Jamming' With PrimeTime Alex Stein
"Alex Stein. If you haven't heard of him prime time, 99 Alex Stein, Jackson. I can't even see that on the radio. I'm already going crazy, Morgan. Oh my goodness. Well, thank you. Thank you for taking time. If you're very busy day, you're a small businessman, and an Internet sensation apparently. So praise B, thank you for joining. That is true. And as my sister and Christ, I appreciate being here. And let me tell you something. Being a viral sensation is not easy. It's a lot of pressure and a lot of people have been like, oh, Alex, you know, it's congratulations on all your success or your viral videos. Going viral is a terrible thing Morgan because now I'm like, what am I gonna do next? I've already worn women's swimwear to a city council meeting and like I'm literally gonna have to jump in a fire and light myself on fire next. I just don't know the pressure is it's overwhelming sometimes. Oh my God, okay, so if people are listening and are aware, he's very satirical. And that's the whole point, Alex Stein is hilarious and goes and makes fun of the crazy lefties, the wokeness at city council meetings and government public hearings where you can speak directly to your representatives. And so Alex don't hate me, but I have a clip that I want to show of you and the women's bathing suit. So if we could play that producers. Hello, how are you guys doing, counsel? So my name is Alexandria Stein. And I'm here today to call out transphobia here in Plano. I'm currently being restricted from swimming in the city of planet swim league against the women, even though it's clear that I reassigned my gender last week, like for example, do I look like a man? Obviously a not. This is a woman, but they're not going to let me swim and compete against the ladies because they're transphobia. So what I need you guys to do is I need you to wake up. We have champions like Leah Thomas. She's an NCAA champion. The best swimmer in college today. I can't get a scholarship unless I'm able to send a recruiting tape to these colleges. So they say, oh, oh, you have an unfair advantage Alexandria. What looks like? Does this look like an unfair advantage to you? Alex, can you explain what that was there? Okay, Morgan. So what that is, that's a crazy man that was dropped on his head as a child that has a lot of social issues and what he decided was is he going to do what is called culture jamming is and where we take the most absurd parts of our culture and we jam it in the public's face to try to bring awareness to how crazy the world has become. So people are like,

"robby starbuck" Discussed on America First with Sebastian Gorka Podcast
"All right, you guys, welcome back from the break. We are still with Robbie starbuck the congressional candidate from Tennessee that's experiencing quite the corrupt situation there. He was explaining in the last segment. But Robbie, I want to focus this section on solutions, both at a micro and a macro level. So first of all, what are you doing right now? What are you guys doing as candidates? Are you working with Morgan to coordinate against this corrupt situation or what's the latest update in this? No, you know, we're very focused on our fight so we've kind of looked at every legal option that we can deploy here and I think that we're sort of near the finish line in terms of what we're going to go and deploy but we're going to use every option that we have to ensure that we're going to be on the ballot for people because the people have fought too hard for us. And we've just put way too much in. I mean, we've been running for about a year. And this is on American. So I think that we have a duty, especially given that I've been blessed to have a large following and everything like that. I have a duty to stand up for all the people who are going to come down in the future that may have this corrupt sort of backroom deal used against them being able to run because this isn't just happening congressional races. They're picking winners and losers in all kinds of races up and down the ballot. And that's not how this is supposed to work in America. So we're going to take a stand against it and try to set a new precedent in terms of giving people the right to be able to run and let voters decide. I mean, really, at the end of the day, what they're saying is we don't trust voters. We think they're either stupid or dangerous. And that's a horrible message to say. We don't trust you enough to decide for yourselves. So either they think voters can't figure out what a rural Republican is or they think that they're going to take a Republican, that the party deans is too far right. Whatever that means. And so we've got a duty to fight more going to. We're definitely not going to roll over for these people and say, well, we'll try against next time. I'll shock maybe we should have played the game a little better in kiss the ring. Like nobody should have to go kiss the ring. It's about representing people and the only people that you should be worried about pleasing are the people in your district to our voters. Yeah, I love that. And it's such an important lesson that we all kind of have to learn. I mean, it's a hard lesson to learn because over the last few years we've seen so much corruption coming from the left. I mean, I remember the uproar from when Hillary Clinton basically used the DNC and partnered with them kind of a kiss the ring style to eliminate Bernie Sanders from the race and we all thought that was disgusting. I think he would have won in that situation, not against Trump, but I think he would have won the primary if he was given a fair shake, but there was coordination behind the scenes, and it's because the establishment works together and coordination with the media and everything. But it's the really hard lesson that we have to learn that it's not just the left that does this. The right is very much guilty of doing the kiss the ring style establishment corrupt inner party workings. And it's not enough to just go on election day and finally show up. Yes, we need to start showing up more. That's the first thing. But we can't just vote down ballot for whatever Republican person is in the general election because we have to participate in the primaries. We have to participate in the selection of our candidates, and that means becoming a member of the committee. I mean, I'm shocked to find out most people don't even know how to get involved at the local level. I mean, there's town committees, and then there's county committees, and then you meet as a state, and everybody works together to coordinate the structure of the party. And so just like in our federalist system, as voters and as citizens, we have forgotten what our role is as individuals within the party and what our power can really be. So it's really a shame, but it is a wake-up call for a lot of people. Now, on a macro level, I love your family story and you can attest to this, the issues that we're facing now in America are so similar to the timelines that other countries have followed as the left gains power. And this is in pretty much every country that succumbs to radical leftism, including Cuba. We just had the news come out, and we're going to talk about this in more segments for everybody who's sticking around for after Robbie leaves, but this new disinformation governance board put out by the Biden regime..

How Congressional Candidate Robby Starbuck Is Fighting Corruption

"This is America first with Sebastian gorka. This is America first with Sebastian gorka. Welcoming our very special guest host, the founder of young Americans against socialism. Morgan Sega's. All right, you guys, let's get started. This is Morgan zagers, and I am so excited and thankful to be guest hosting. Doctor gorka show again. That's right. You got a 25 year old taken over the show today. And we're going to try and include a lot of really fun guests. I have a great lineup for you of a lot of people from a lot of different backgrounds and to start off the show on a strong, strong way. I've got Robbie starbuck with us. Can we bring Robbie right in and let's get started? I'm here. All right, Robbie, thank you so much. I appreciate it. I know you're a busy guy. Can you explain why you're such a busy guy? What are you up to these days? Yes, I mean, as many of doctors, viewers know he's having a lot for my race running for Congress. And the Tennessee Republican Party is actually removed me from the ballot. This last week. So, you know, we're in a battle now to get back on the ballot, essentially they removed myself, Morgan Ortega, and one other candidate is off the ballot. Morgan and I were sort of more in a similar boat because we had all the Republican vouching and we've only voted Republican and things along those lines. The third one had participated in a chaos primaries like Rush Limbaugh had told people to do. So they had technically voted for Democrats. So they're kind of treated a little differently under the bylaws. But in Morgan and I case, they just essentially took us off and they have no good excuse for doing it. We did all the standards that are necessary to be able to be bona FIDE and to be put on the ballot. So now I'm going to fight to make sure that this is allowed to happen because what's really scary about it is it's so similar to what you see happen in communist countries. My family came from Cuba and they had a central committee that essentially chose puppet candidates of the party and people at very limited choices. Well, here we have the state executive committee. The state executive committee is who met and voted to make sure that I would not be allowed back on the ballot. And so it's sort of a creepy parallel from where my family came from to now and more of a warning about how big government and allowing these sorts of things can become a real big problem because now essentially people's vote is limited by stripping out the top two candidates Morgan and I were pulling number one doing this race and to take us out means that now people only have choices that are folks that frankly are easily controlled by the Tennessee Republican Party. I see, okay, so is that why they're doing it because they have a candidate that they would like to run that would maybe toe the line a little bit more or what's the purpose of doing something like this? Because you have been running for so long at this point and I mean, I'm not even from the state, but I've known about your race for a long time. You have amazing grassroots support and so I was just kind of baffled to see that you weren't being embraced. What is going on here between these grassroots candidates like yourself that get so much support? I mean, even Sean Ryan, I love Sean Ryan and the Sean Ryan show, and you were even on that. So you're getting a lot of support from people that have never usually participated in the political discussion in this way. What's the difference between you and your candidacy and what's going on with the party and the candidate that they want to support. Well, you know, to be perfectly honest, it's kind of bizarre because like you said, grassroots was our support is incredible. I don't think anybody in the middle Tennessee is seeing anything like it with congressional race before where I mean the number of volunteers we have on the ground is just nuts. And to see the party pull away and essentially kick out the two most sort of Trump aligned candidates, especially me very America first populist, this is just not the direction of some of the leadership there where it's much more establishment the and sort of more of the Romney esque year. And you got to understand, I mean, remember we had bob corker and Lamar Alexander. Not exactly like America first populist Mac of candidates. They were very, we'll say hard on president Trump. And so I think that this is sort of an extension of that where you still have a lot of those voices in the room who are just given too much power and control. And I think that it led to a situation where some of the good old boy back room politics won over what fairness and really being American requires because here's the thing is I'm not just fighting for myself to get back on the ballot. I'm fighting for my opponents to get back on the ballot too because that's what America is about. Our voters here deserve to be able to choose between all of us and decide who they want to represent them. And so I think that if you value that bedrock of our country and those foundations our founders thought for us to have and so many people literally gave their lives for us to have, we just can't allow this stuff to happen in America. No, I appreciate that you're doing that. And that's where a lot of my confusion sets in. So I'm not really a political person in the sense that I'm good at monitoring political campaigns, but when I saw Morgan entered the race, that threw me off because I said, that's quite strange, and then there was the issue of the endorsements and everything. And so when all of the new news broke out about you being removed, I thought that had something to do with it. But then when I found out you were both taken out, I was just even more confused. And so I think for average Americans like me that are frustrated with the status quo that are getting more involved and aren't necessarily Politico experts, we're really thrown off by this and we're confused because isn't the left the bad guys? I mean, is it just that the establishments in general are against the American people and transparency? And it's an issue of too much power is going to the heads of people. They want to maintain control or what's going on. And then an interesting thing to add into this question, I was doing a speech at Colorado school of mines recently. And one of the students said, I'm more of a Romney esque type person and I don't understand why a lot of these cultural issues are taking the attention of conservatives when things women's sports. And if a boy participates in the sport or not matters or women's bathrooms protecting those, why does it matter when there's bigger issues at hand? So I feel like there's just such a big sense of being out of touch between the establishment GOP and candidates like yourself that have such strong platform supported by the people. Do you notice that trend in differences as well? I do. I mean, especially between the establishment and sort of the people. And that's what it is, is there's a group of people and I think it's on both sides sort of a unit party who they're just divorced from the lives of everyday people. And I think the reason you see them unable to understand why cultural issues matter is because their divorced from it. They don't experience it. Whereas, you know, in my case, I'm acutely aware of the importance because I know that the history of Marxism means that step one is destroying our culture because we don't have a culture you don't have a stake order. You don't have a country. And so they attack all those things first. You know, there's people that are sort of living in their safe little bubbles in the establishment. They don't experience it so they don't realize how much of an effect this is going to have on the existence of our country and on the existence of freedom for our children and grandchildren. And that's probably the most favorable way I could say it to them is that they just like, they don't get it. And so, you know, and there's many cases where it's more nefarious than that and it's actually that they're just out for their own greed. But the reality is that there's a lot of forces at work to try to stop the people because I think when you really look at it, like the reason that we were doing so well in polling and with people and volunteers is because normal people see this stuff is common sense. It's not really something that there's a whole lot of disagreement on in terms of should we let boys go play against girls and pretend they're girls. Your average person thinks that's crazy. So this is something that is really just sort of like inside politics, division and fighting because among normal people, this is not a controversial thing to talk about. And so I think that that's where some of this gets lost with the establishment and they fear people like us because they know they can't control outcomes anymore. Because let's take a look at something like healthcare. Trump said a lot of things about healthcare. The traditional Romney esque Republicans have always feared saying because it meant their corporate bosses would be angry at them or their corporate donors would be angry at them. And the reality is is that there's just certain things that are common sense. A middle class family doesn't choose for their child to be born with diabetes. And, you know, if their medicines $3000 a month, they can't pay to live their normal life. And we have to have an answer for that. If we don't, and the answer is, hey, just let the markets figure it out. That doesn't work for a lot of people, you know? But there's a middle ground of sort of being able to have common sense and not have what the left is going to prescribe, which.

"Dot com. Robbie, I ask the magga politicians who come on my show, all of them, the same question. You're not yet a mega politician in the terms of having been elected, but I'm going to ask you the same question I ask, Matt Gaetz, Jim Jordan, MTG, Lauren boebert. What do you say as an American to your fellow Americans who especially after the last election just said that's it, it's over. I'm giving up. We've lost the republic. I would say you need to weigh pros and cons and you need to look at what potentially could happen to our country. I mean, if you just ask yourself, what is the best thing that can happen from you not voting and what is the worst thing the outcomes are just something you can't compare. The best thing is is that we have actually fixed the problems in enough states where we're going to be able to get enough people into a majority to actually fight and change things on a wider scale. The worst thing that can happen is that the Democrats just run over us and they have a wider majority and let me add this this is the most dangerous thing is that enough of us don't show up that the Democrats can honestly submit to real audits. And then they can go look. We open the books for everybody. There's no problem. See, the Republicans are crazy. That's what will happen if you don't show up. So you've got to show up. There's just no question. We've got to fight for our country. This may be our last chance to do it in an election where we can actually trust that in a lot of places we're going to be able to get the results in a way that we can trust. There are still places that are a problem. I can't pretend that's not the case, but we've got to go and fight for it and we've got to try. It's great logic. It's just common sense. If you win by a lot, it is all the harder for them to treat. So by resigning yourself to the fraud of the Democrats by saying, my vote doesn't matter. You're actually helping them. They don't have to cheat as much or if there is an audit they can say, well, look, everything's hunky Dory as soon as they've faded in the evidence of anything that is irregular. Ravi starbuck, I congratulate you. I want you to be in regular contact with mister GR producer here. We want updates on how the campaign is doing. We need a C ladies and gentlemen. We need a sea of Robbie Starbucks in America at every level, not just Congress below Congress above Congress, because if there are enough, look, the crazies on the other side are a vocal minority. They're not representative of America. We can take it back. President Trump needs us, however, to step up to the plate. It's not about just writing a check for Robbie or writing a check for your local candidate. It's about what you are going to do. You need to run every single one of you or at the very least, support physically, not just financially, somebody who is running. Got to start by. May I add something to that? We got ten seconds. Go. Vote in primaries. That's where this is really decided. Okay, too many people don't show up primaries. Yes. Feed the poor. I'm going to pledge my wife and I, we're going to donate 500 as soon as I get off the show here today to start it out. And I hope everybody joins us and makes a donation there. If you can make one of my campaign great, but for today, focus on that because there's some people who really need help. You're a great man. God bless you. It's Seb Goku dot com and help Ukraine at the top. He's right. We need to turn up in the primaries. That's how we get the mega candidates. I'm Sebastian gorka, this is one on one, wherever you are, whatever you're doing, keep your head on a swivel, watch your 6, hold the line, never give up, never give in. On stay frosty. Our fathers brought forth upon this continent, a new nation conceived in liberty and dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal. I know not what course others may take.

That's relief factor dot com. Robbie, if you will permit me, I'd like to just go off on a slight tangent now. It's a topic that is very dear to my heart. I discuss it every time we have amazing people on the show like Andrew clavin, Michael Knowles and others. You are a man who's worked in Hollywood. You understand culture telling stories, now you're running for Congress in Tennessee. That's excellent. Will you discuss for me or help explain to me? How conservatives lost the plot when it came to culture. If you go back 50, 60, 70 years. American culture, popular culture was conservative. You look at the great movies John Ford. You look at Casablanca. You look at John Wayne. We had patriots that were making products for Americans. Now the only thing we have left literally, the only thing we have left is talk radio. So walk us through your understanding of what happened and what it's going to take to fix that. Yeah, so it started at the executive level. Which is something I don't hear people talk about a lot. It wasn't just people woke up overnight and the whole thing changed. It was an executive sort of started to get in there and then hire their own ideological minions among the organization and then from there, they iced out anybody who they deemed to be sort of an ideological threat. And I think it just grew from there. And it became an environment where suddenly if you were conservative, you just knew, you're not going to be able to get a job if you talk politics. And so that's where you got sort of this silent group of conservatives in Hollywood, which to be perfectly honest actually is a pretty sizable group of people. They're just completely silent. And it includes some of the biggest stars in the world. You know, but they're just, they're terrified, that they're not gonna have any opportunity to go and do their job. And you know, for me, at this point in history, I don't feel bad for them. You know, I'm not really as concerned about their bottom line. These are people who have tens of millions, if not more. In their bank account. So if it was me, I'd say now's the time to take a risk. Now is the time to take a risk. There's going to be conservatives who will fund you. I do think part of the problem we have is that on the right are billionaires don't see the value that the left season culture. And so our billionaires are not content to say, you know what, I'm going to throw a $100 million at this project because it's going to make this giant dent in culture. Whereas on the left, they have no problem throwing around a $1 billion at things that are going to make a dent in culture because they understand the value long term is saving that party and their ability to reach a certain segment of people. Now see, let me give you an example. And this is one that's sort of outside what people would normally think. Normally people want to talk about big movies or big musicians, something like.

I just wanted to say I really admire your work with food for the poor each year. And I'm 16 years old, I live at home, so I don't really make a whole lot of money. But I have an envelope that I keep on my nightstand, and each time I do get some money, I put a little bit away throughout the year, maybe like a dollar or two, and it's for food for the poor, and so this year I saved up $80 to give, and I'm not saying any of this to brag.

Robbie, you're in a peculiar situation because you haven't been yet endorsed by my old boss president Trump. And a former Trump administration official who I don't think lived in Tennessee but for a very short time, Morgan Ortega has announced that she's running for the same seat, president Trump said something about it wasn't a real endorsement in terms of an official one. It's like, oh, I'm excited to hear the news. I immediately got in touch with Morgan. I said, what are you doing? I mean, you can have as many candidates as you like. But in terms of maga qualifications, America first. We've already got Robbie. Will you give us the latest update on the situation? Isn't there some legislation or some regulations that could be problematic for this new announced candidate? Yeah, there is. I mean, there's a bill right now in our legislature right now, which would be in somebody from running for Congress if they have not lived in Tennessee for a minimum of three years before election day. That law would not affect me despite some fake news out there from some establishment people who want to pretend it would. It wouldn't. I've lived here over three years by election day, but it would in fact kick Morgan out of the race. So we'll see if that legislation comes to pass. It has been passed out of the House and Senate, but the bills are different, so they're going to conference right now. And as long as they can come to an agreement and conference, which I believe they will, I think it's going to pass with very little pushback. I believe in the last vote only one person or four people voted against it. Something like that, it was small, tiny contingent of the house. So, you know, that is going to be an issue there, I think that they're going to have to deal with, but aside from just that, you know, what we're seeing out in Tennessee is that knowing the issues and knowing the people matters. And the truth is, is what differentiates me aside from just the career politician issues, is that, you know, I've been there when tennesseans had their kids forced masks or they had, you know, put into virtual learning or people were being fired over vaccine mandates. I was there. When we had a tornado and we had severe damage, I was there to organize the cleanup process. When we had flooding and waverly, one of our neighboring areas here that's a little bit outside of our district. I organized to have 8 different truckloads of supplies distributed in waverly. You know, I've been there for the people. I fought alongside them. I've organized with them and that matters to people. Whereas, you know, I don't know if you saw my opponent gave an interview recently where she was asked just very sort of simple knowledge about Tennessee and couldn't answer one of the questions. And that has hurt her a lot in this race. I believe, based off of conversations I've had with voters where they've said, have you seen this? You know, and I'm not one to really, I don't want to go to negative campaigning because I feel like our campaign is still positive and aspirational and fighting for the people that I don't even need to go there. What I do think is surprising though, is in the two polls we have. She wasn't actually in second place. And a lot of people thought because of president Trump getting involved, she would be sort of like neck and neck there with me and it would be a fight. But she wasn't even the person in the second place and one she was third and then once she was fourth. So I don't think that it's a foregone conclusion that tennesseans are going to just say, oh, okay, because a certain person supports her who we love, we're going to just jump on board. I think they're looking at it very hard and saying who knows us. And who has an organic connection. As soon as she announced zombie sent me photographs of her yucking it up with Joe Biden, hanging out with Ruth Bader Ginsburg. I sent them to her and I said, are these real? Are these doctored? She refused to reply. We were supposed to be on the same panel on newsmax a week ago. She canceled at the last minute. So Morgan, you can run. It's America. But seriously, now is not the time to divide the camp and you've got to have an organic connection.

"We make. We make along the way, and that's fine by me. I talk to us about the technicalities I understand there's been some redistricting in Tennessee. Has that hurt you? What is the reality? When I see these maps, this gerrymandering, it looks like insanity with crayons talk to us about the situation in Tennessee. So redistricting in my race actually is a major major help to us because it was a Democrat see for over a hundred years and now because of the growth of Tennessee and the growth of middle Tennessee specifically, which has been largely in exodus of conservatives from other states. It became a very conservative seat now. So it went from a plus 17 Democrat seat to now I think 5 38 has that a plus 16 Republican seat. And so definitely to our advantage now and has been a really great thing. And I think it speaks to the fact that Tennessee like Florida has become sort of a safe haven for conservatives to flee these blue states and defined a place to live with their values and among their people because you know I actually had a conversation with this about somebody the other day and it was what is a Tennessee and I said, well, certainly not just being born here. It's about what you want. It's about your values, what you believe in. Do you truly stand behind freedom or not? And you could look at somebody like Jim Cooper, our previous representative who's retiring, who's just an awful Democrat. And you could say, oh, so, you know, he's Tennessee, but the truth is, he doesn't actually stand for Tennessee values. And I do. So I may have been here a shorter period of time, but I'm actually in touch with the people here. And when you started the campaign and you had to go door knocking introduce yourself, when people started to open up, was that, again, a trendline with a key issues. I mean, this is before the war in Ukraine. So tell us what the concerns were that you heard as an America first candidate. So two things. One was feeling like nobody listened to them. And they had reached out so many of them had reached out to representatives, not just in Congress, but locally and had not gotten responses or felt like they got boilerplate responses and nobody really cared about their concerns. And that really bothered me just as a human being. You know, on a human level, what our founders intended was for us to be representatives of the people, not to be a group of elite who decide what is best for the people. And I think that's something we've gotten really wrong over the past couple of decades. The other thing was this was happening during all the COVID lockdowns when I announced. So I announced before anybody else. I announced before the redistricting when this was a hard seat to win because I thought the conservatives here deserve to have somebody fight for them. And I also saw coming that Biden was going to be such a failure that even without redistricting, I thought we could win it. And as part of that process, you know, what I kept hearing was the mandates and the business closures and how destructive the Democrat policies around COVID had been to their lives because believe it or not even in a red state. We had a Democrat mayor in Nashville and they deployed a bunch of these destructive policies on small businesses and on workers and on families because these kids were thrown into virtual learning. It was horrific and the learning loss and the test results we see are.

"Gorka, just go to my pillow dot com, promo code GOR KA. Robbie, you have a fascinating background that most people would say doesn't presage well or doesn't prepare you for the vicissitudes of the swamp and a political life. Tell our millions of listeners across the country what you did for a living before you thought it's time to become part of the maga movement. Yeah, so I was a filmmaker. I directed Oscar winning actors actually some of the biggest music stars in the world and for anybody who doesn't think that's good preparation for D.C., my job was basically managing a bunch of egos and making them get things done. Hard things done. And also ensuring that you're able to get things done on time, which is very important. So I think that my experience there. And by the way, that whole world is politics and entertainment. So it's actually, I think one of the best sort of preparations for going to D.C. because you really learn how to deal with this wide range of people who all disagree with each other and are always fighting with each other. And how to navigate the politics of that. So I think that it is actually really great preparation on top of that I was a business owner because I own the production company. And so that prepared me as somebody who had to manage a large staff and a large group of employees and crews. You know, I think over my career, we probably employed well over a 1500 people on cruise. And so managing that myself that I personally oversaw is great experience for going into D.C. and how it affects all the policies affect the lives of so many people. Well, they do say, how does this say go a D.C.'s Hollywood for ugly people and Hollywood is a D.C. for stupid people. Robbie, give us, you told the story that you were living in California, your young daughter was on a soccer team. They let this boy play on it and then people realized that Robbie was right. Walk us through the decision because it's a tough decision to make. What were the seminal events that made you say, okay, I'm in Tennessee now and I'm going to dedicate my life to representing the people of Tennessee. How did you come to that decision to run for Congress? Yeah, so I mean, the lunacy of California is really what drove us away, you know, way back. We came before the Great Migration, but it was the same reasons we saw what was coming down the pipeline. We knew California was going to be a disaster, and my wife's from the south. And so we said, we got to raise our kids in the south. That's where we want to be. It's where our values are. It's where our heart is. And Nashville was a place where we had spent a lot of time. My wife and I just, the two of us, it was like our spot. So we always knew that's where we wanted to have a farm, and that's what we did. We bought a nice farmhouse. Tons of acreage for the kids. And that's the life we want to live. And it's just been the most beautiful thing for our family. And in terms of running though, it was really 2020 in the failure of our representatives, especially their failure to protect the elections and to do what was necessary to fight for president Trump. They didn't do it. They failed at their job and many of them were really cowardly in doing so. And so, you know, I said, these people are so upset and I'm dealing with them every day and they all feel like they don't have real representatives. I want to go and fight for these people. And so it was never something I wanted to do. In fact, I think if you're born thinking, hey, I want to be a politician. You probably have a screw loose or something. And so that was not a natural desire from me. And it's definitely not want to have long term. I don't want to be in Congress for 30 years at all. I don't think anybody should be. I would argue it's actually the reason we're in a large part of the trouble we're in. So it was very clear and easy to me once I had that realization where I said people need a fighter. And I have nothing to lose. Nobody to answer to, you know, I'm in a great place in my life. My wife's a huge supporter and she feels the same way I do about the country. And we said, hey, we've got nothing to lose. All we need is each other. So let's go fight in whatever enemies.

"About saving the country? And you've mentioned the transgender agenda what's happening in the schools. Are you heartened? Are you excited by the resistance that you've witnessed in America in the last year, year and a half? You know, I'm split. I am heartened, but at the same time, I'm disheartened that this is even a conversation in our country because it speaks to what the establishment has allowed to happen and how conservatives have largely not conserved anything for decades because we've elected those career politicians over and over and over again. So it's a reminder of our failure, but at the same time I am heartened by seeing parents stand up and say, you know what, this is a bridge too far. We're not going to allow this. We don't want our daughters to be beat by biological men in the pool or in any other sport. And you know, I've actually experienced this lunacy first scene because I used to live in California at a 13 year old daughter. And I've got a couple other kids, but she's my oldest and when she was younger, we lived in California and she was in a soccer league where they actually added a boy to one of the other teams. And our only experience with this was one game and that boy got violent during the game and he actually attacked a girl, okay? So there was no better and I remember this is a very liberal place in LA and I looked over at all the liberal parents who I had warned about this and I look over and I see the thought bubbles in their heads going, oh wow, Robbie was right about this. This doesn't work. And that's playing to everybody. No, of course, it's common sense. It's just nature and we need to push back his decision is to run for Congress.

"President Trump because nobody owes him. Before we move on, I'm so curious with thousands of people on this electronic virtual town hall and you and senator was at senator Rand Paul. Rand Paul. Was there a theme when you got questions? Was there anything that was recurrent? What did your constituents demonstrate the most concern for, Robbie? The theme was pain. The American people are in pain right now. They're in pain all the way around. From the gas pump to the grocery store, to their workplaces, where they're being indoctrinated with ideas that are just playing hateful towards your average American, to just your everyday life and the politics that have sort of gone and invaded every segment of our culture to trying to force people to get injections or force masks on their kids. It's pain. Pain all the way around and people want pain relievers up in Washington, D.C., people that go and unleash their rights and their freedoms again. They're tired of these people trying to strip them of everything they love. And I think that's it tired and painful and ready to fight because they know that this is our only chance. We don't do it now. This is it. They've already taken so much from us and we don't have a lot more left to give. And so if they keep taking more, we're going to be left with nothing. And we're going to be ruled over by tyrants. And you know, I think there's a whole segment of people like myself who were just saying, we're not going to let this happen. You know, I know you want to talk about my family background later. That's going to be my next question. So you are uniquely qualified to speak about the danger of tyrants not just being a theoretical one. So let's jump in. We talked to Robbie starbuck. He's running for the 5th congressional district in Tennessee. Tell us why you understand the threat to America so well. You know, I understand the threat to America so well because this has happened many times before. The push towards Marxism in America is not a new thing. And one of the places that it has happened before is in Cuba. That's where my family came from. And in Cuba, it was another one of those things where honestly, a lot of people didn't see it coming. And in America, I think sadly there were a lot of people who didn't see it coming in still don't see it coming sadly. And the reality is, is it always happens the same way. The truth is, Marxism can never come to fruition in a happy country. It has to be full of chaos and you have to separate children from their families, you have to divide the family, and you have to make hedonistic culture popular culture. And that's exactly what's been done here in America across every segment of culture and in academia. You name it, and they've taken it over on the left. And now they've gone on this march to separate children from their parents. That's what you see in the trans agenda that's going throughout schools and the lies from Democrats saying that there's this don't say gay Bill in Florida that's truthfully actually an anti grooming Bill to keep pedophiles from grooming children. But this is what they do. Marxists are not honest. They stole everything from my family. And you know, I tell this story sometimes to people because I think it's a really great visualization of what leftism is. When my family was leaving Cuba, my mom was allowed to take one item with her and she took a family heirloom. And it was this dog that they were going to take one item. One item, that's it. That's it. One item. They lost everything. All the money they had, their car, their home, and three generations in my family lived in that home, and all of it was taken by the government. And so they had one item, and that item was this family heirloom a doll and when they got to the airport, my family was one of the lucky ones where at least half of the family was able to go via airplane. The rest of them had to wait longer. My grandpa didn't come for years and years until the State Department could get him out. But you know, when you look at this, what happened at the airport is they took that doll from my mom and they cracked its head open. And they did that because they wanted to make sure she wasn't hiding money in the head of a doll. And it may seem silly to some people. It's a doll. And my family, it was an adult, was something that meant something a lot more. It was generation and generation, and it sort of a great symbol to understand that leftism steals everything eventually. It doesn't just steal one thing, and then your silent because you say, I don't want to ruffle feathers, you need to ruffle feathers because it is coming for everything in your life. It will strip you and rob you of everything you love. And that is what is coming here in America. And if we don't have people in Congress and higher up in The White House, we don't have people there who understand that and are ready to fight it with every fiber of their being and make hard decisions that may be very unpopular with the Democrats in our country and are okay with being hated by the Democrats in our country and the media in our country and taking all the zeros we are going to be in big trouble. And so that's what I'm dedicated to doing. You know, I'll take every arrow I need to take and that's the type of people we need in Washington right now is people who don't care about being liked, but who care.

"Welcome to your friends to America first one on one. I'm often asked, how do you make a difference? How do we guarantee that the maga message America first isn't just something associated with president Trump and The White House, but is in fact something that represents a movement across the nation. How do we guarantee that we don't have a reprise of 2020 not in just the midterms, but in the 2024 election? Well, it's very easy. We've got to have mega candidates everywhere. And I mean for the local school board on up, it's not just about congressmen. It's not just about senators or The White House. It is about being able to show that the events of 15 were a non politician came to represent America for the first time in our history because every other president before him had been a retired general, a former governor or a senator, that isn't just a one off phenomena. It is a national one. Well, that's why we are delighted to invite on the show people who represent exactly that trend and we have with us today. Robbie starbuck, who is running for a congressional seat, the 5th congressional seat in Tennessee. He's been on the show before. Welcome back, Robbie Steinbach to America first one on one. Thank you for having me. You know this is one of my favorite shows, so I'm always happy to be here. Most kind most kind, we're gonna talk about everything, your family background, why you're running, how you see the midterm elections, the presidential elections. But first, I have to ask you, it's starbuck 2022 dot com. How is the campaign going? It's gone fantastic, in fact, senator Rand Paul and I just did a town hall here in my district. It was a telephone town hall. And the technology, if you're not familiar with it, is just absolutely amazing. You get so many people on these calls. We got over 19,000 people on our telephone town hall from my district. And we got to answer their questions and we got to stay on for a very long time and they can press buttons on the phone to request, you know, signs for their house to volunteer. And then we did a poll of the district as well. And in that poem, I'm proud to say that we were in first place by a lot. And so we're very excited about where we're at in this race, and we feel the momentum is just growing and growing and growing. Honestly, it's exploding. And so this is sort of a testament to the fact that America first policy in maga means something to people beyond 2015 beyond 2020. It means something to their families. And it means that our country and their families deserve to be first. And so they're looking at candidates and they're not saying, you know, what is your political history? The truth is political history, I think, is a detriment to people, because if you look at this, people are saying, we've spent decades electing career politicians, and that's exactly how we got here. And so why the heck would we do the same thing again? I mean, we've all said the definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again. So why would we go and fall into that trap? And so I think that's why we're at where we're at as people are looking at the race and they're saying, this is an outsider. He doesn't know any promises to anybody in politics, he's free to just do the work of the people. And that sort of in our message is that I'm unencumbered by all of those favors that people make throughout their careers. I can just go and fight for you. Yeah, that's exactly why people elected.

"The calling for liberty. And they're raising the American flag. Fascinating. I know somebody who has an opinion. All of this because of his heritage. He is the Candidate for the congressional seat in Tennessee's fifth District. Robby Starbuck, Welcome back to America first. Thank you for having me and you were right. I do have some opinions on this. So explain to our listeners who might have missed the last interview you had with us in front of our millions of listeners and viewers. Why? Why is today's and use the important to Robby Starbuck? Well, so my family fled Cuba. They had everything stolen from them by the Castro regime. And so this is something that's near and dear to my heart. I actually still have some family that's stuck in Cuba that was never able to make the trip. And so this This is a huge deal for for Cuban Americans for Cubans all over the world that you know these people know who were out in the streets now demanding liberty and freedom and showing their their love for the United States. They were the beacon of hope. These people know that they're risking death and imprisonment and torture. That's what's happened in the past. When anyone rose up and to rise up in these numbers, they know that this is extremely dangerous. So this is this is just incredible. I'm so proud of them all. Well, at the same time, so disappointed in our leadership in America. And really, you know, in the people here who are afraid to stand up for freedom, because This is this is a sign. This is a warning to everyone. This is the road. The Democrats are going to take us down. So this is your chance. This is your chance to stand up and say no. Because if you don't do it now, forever hold your peace. We could end up down in that same situation. And your reaction your your your common that you're excited for what the Cubans are doing. But then you stand by who's in the White House and and and? And just the fact listening of their response when you see senior Obama officials who now work for the Biden State Department say that before Biden said anything Tweeting out that you know it's it's It's great to see people in Cuba protest over the lack of health care and the lack of vaccines that that's why they're on the streets with the Stars and Stripes. Your reaction, Robbie So it's interesting. I watched every video that was trending on social media of what was happening. And I saw some from family sent to me. And you know what? I didn't hear at all in any of the videos. He didn't talk about Covid, and they did not talk about vaccines there. That is not one of the concerns here. In fact, students are generally very distrustful of the government or not a group that are, you know, begging on the tables to have something given to them by the government when it comes to vaccines, so The whole thing is just patently absurd. The other thing I noticed, the Biden administration said. They said, Oh, they're exercising their right to protest. Yes, they're exercising their right to protest into freedom of speech, which is kind of strange. Yes, they don't have that right. So our State Department knows that these people are emotionally and mentally manipulating their low information left wing voters into believing a narrative that is entirely divorced from reality. The reality is, Democrats have praised Cuba over and over and over and over again, they can't rewrite history. Praised their healthcare system, They said. That's what they want for the United States who can name them individually, but it would take too long for the segment. They have done this across the party Now, when it's all coming crashing down, what do they do? They don't pretend that this is for some other reason. No, this is the failures of leftism of the same type of socialism and Communistic. Mindset that they want to push on to America. So this is why it's so critically important. Anybody who has not woken up yet if you have somebody your family's not woken up yet, this can be the issue to wake them up. This is what they want for us. They did the same thing with Venezuela, where they all praised Venezuela. And it was the cool thing on the left. And then when Venezuela everything came crashing down, they pretended Oh, they didn't do it the right way. Well, guess what. They never do it the right way, because leftists are inherently greedy, and they turn it into a greedy oligarchy, where they're divorced from any rights to the people because they believe fundamentally that normal working class people are not good enough or smart enough to make decisions for themselves. I don't believe that. I believe that the people need to be in control and freedom is the most valuable gift we've been given by God. Indeed, indeed, as someone who's been a director producer knows the media world and their attitude to the stars and Stripes. And now, as you're running for the fifth Congressional District in Tennessee, can you explain to us the truth with your Cuban heritage of why Cubans in communist Cuba, Uh, walking down the street demanding liberty and of all the 200 flags they could choose of other nations. Why they choosing hours of this? This nation we've been told is racist white supremacist. Why are Cubans waving the Stars and Stripes Robbie? It's very simple. They know their family members or friends who have made it here to America and have been so blessed with opportunity and freedom. Historically in the past They want the same thing for their families. They want just opportunity and freedom to exist and to protect their homes and to speak and say what they think. Without fear of prison or death. They want their kids. To be free, more than anything. I mean, there's so many men and women there who are willing to die right now, if it means it secures the freedom of their Children, and that is a really anybody who's a parent knows.
