In this episode of We The People, Gates Garcia has a sentence every parent needs to hear: your children are not your political experiment. He looks at the story of Nikole Hannah-Jones, creator of the 1619 Project, who chose a struggling Brooklyn public school for her daughter to live out her values, and the daughter who later realized she wasn't nearly as prepared as her good grades said.

Gates talks about what happens when ideology becomes more important than your responsibility to your own kids, why an A on a report card doesn't teach a kid algebra, and why schools have become terrified of telling kids the truth. This episode explores why pretending everything is fine can hurt a child's future, why your first job is raising a kid who's prepared for the world without you, and why your kids don't owe your ideology anything.

In this episode of We The People, Gates Garcia takes a hard look at the way we argue. Social media rewards outrage, the left talks to the left, the right talks to the right, and almost nobody gets persuaded. Gates makes the case that we've started confusing attention with influence, and that being right isn't enough if the person across from you stopped listening 30 seconds ago.

Gates talks about slowing down before you speak, what Fulton Sheen understood about making a hard point without making people feel stupid, and the difference between trying to convert someone and trying to evangelize them. This episode explores how to be convicted without being cruel, clear without being condescending, and strong without needing to be loud, and why sometimes the most powerful thing you can do is give someone a reason to keep listening.

We The People with Gates Garcia is recorded at the We The People Media studios in Tampa, FL, and produced by Gates Garcia.

In this episode of We The People, Gates Garcia sits down with Congressman Byron Donalds and Erika Donalds to discuss Byron's campaign for Governor of Florida and the future the two of them are building at home. From affordability, insurance, and education policy to marriage, parenting, and the crisis of masculinity, the Donalds share their perspective on what it takes to lead a state and a family at the same time.

They discuss Byron's plan to cut insurance costs, reform permitting, and bring real price transparency to health care, his sharp contrast with opponent David Jolly on insurance and the Fourth Amendment, and Erika's education freedom platform and vision for what she'd build as First Lady. This episode explores how AI is reshaping the classroom and the economy, why raising three boys in 2026 means fighting a culture of comfort and easy answers, and why, as Byron puts it, more is caught than taught.
