"Not Like One Of Them" with Luis Espindola

In this episode, Brandon interviews Luis Espindola, a United States Marine Corps veteran, small business owner, and 2024 House of Representatives candidate for Texas' 27th Congressional District.

Luis discusses his motivation for running for Congress and his focus on bringing change to the political system. He emphasizes the need for term limits and discusses his proposed "Money Where Your Mouth Is Act". This act would require members of the House and Senate to spend 20 hours throughout their elected term working alongside Border Patrol agents and an additional 20 hours embedded with law enforcement in their respective districts. The intent is so that policy makers understand the true situation at America's southern border and what law enforcement officers go through within the communities they represent.

The conversation also covers the importance of public service, the need for experience and service in politics, the lack of trust in politicians, the divisiveness of political parties, the role of media in polarization, the need for younger representation, and the importance of financial literacy.

To wrap it up, Luis highlights the ability to let go of power in government and how more politicians need to adopt this mindset. He also shares how his faith plays a significant role in his life and how it has helped him overcome insecurities. Luis emphasizes the need for open conversations about race and the importance of seeing beyond racial differences. He also discusses the implications of UFO disclosure and concludes with a call to action for listeners to get involved in the political process.
