Summary

"When I'm talking to the Black community I just lay it out very simplistically: do you want me to be a person that's giving you something or do you want me to show you how to make it on your own, and then...it can continue on and you can build a legacy? The Republican party is about empowerment and self accountability—to leverage yourself and create the lifestyle you want." 🗣 Today I talk with Major Williams, a Black Conservative Republican running against Gavin Newsom for Governor of California 2022. He is driven, confident, and anxious to help create a different type of leadership that focuses on empowering the citizens of this country. We learn about his humble upbringing and the development of his platform--which was born out of his belief that the Democratic party has been hindering, not helping, the Black community he is a part of.

0:16.4	about something really interesting with someone who is also very interesting. Today we're
0:21.4	going to talk with a gentleman named Major Williams who is running for California
0:26.1	State Governor. I had been contacted by several people who were sending me his profile.
0:31.2	Hey, look at this. This is a guy for medical freedom. This is a
0:33.7	guy for informed consent parental choice. Look at what he has to offer. Let's get to
0:38.5	know more about this particular gentleman and so that's what I want to do and I know that because you guys are the audience that responds to this kind of forward thinking I want to make sure you're on the receiving end of this get to know as much as you can about him so that you can support him and

1:01.8	welcome to the show.
1:03.0	Thank you so much for having me. I appreciate it.
1:06.0	And it's funny too because I remember my first conversation with you, I'm like,
1:09.0	is that your real name? Is that what I call you?
1:11.0	I know. I feel like, I think it's like the ultimate icebreaker because it's like the hesitation aspect of it and I'm like nah it's really my real name. So okay let's start at the beginning here. You're currently running against Gavin Newsom, okay, which is this hugely funded, should we say, current governor of California. So first, me why did you decide to run against him?
1:36.1	That's a great question. Obviously I'm getting that question a lot more and more on
1:40.6	a daily basis but for me it's a somewhat of a simplistic approach. As a
1:46.5	homeschooler, as a charter school parent and supporter, I was just activated by
1:52.2	you know bills like SB 276, SB 277. In addition to just
1:57.4	watching the decline of our great state, you know just not being held as such and
2:01.3	I watched families that I know you know have to pack up
2:04.1	and with great sadness and just move to other states because they simply were just
