**SPEAKER_1** (0:00)
So, Mayor, I'd actually like to see you run for mayor. I'd like to see how the market would react if you ran.
**Andre Williams** (0:05)
It would be chaotic.
**SPEAKER_1** (0:07)
Well, I'd like to see what would happen if you ran, because I think, you know, what I do like is I like to see every one of these conversations being out there and seeing how the market would react to it for a young guy like you. By the way, did you hear about Wes Moore? We just had him on the podcast, I think, three weeks ago, four weeks ago.
He made a, what is the idea, the thing he wants to do with banning Glocks? Did you see this? Mayor Wes Moore signed a bill, 3034 into law, which prohibits the future sale manufacture and future and purchase of handguns, including most Glock and Glock style models that can be easily and quickly converted into fully automatic machine guns. What do you think about Wes Moore's idea?
**Andre Williams** (0:48)
It's ridiculous. Why are you gonna ban the gun? I'm not gonna ban the tool, I'm gonna ban the using it.
What I mean by that, you have to go against, go after the people who are committing these crimes. Why not be tough on crime? I'm not being tough on the gun. I'm gonna ban hammers, because people are using hammers now to beat people. No, I'm gonna go after people doing it. Be aggressive in combatting this, and he's from Maryland. I mean, look at the area, look at that entire area over there. It's not the best. We know who's committing the crime, we know who's doing it.
Why not go after those people? Why do we have to try to go around the problem? People like Wes Moore and especially the white liberals, they always wanna talk around the question, the conversation. They always wanna sit back and try to make excuses for the problem, but not get to the root of the problem. I think this is an American thing. I think this is something that's become, something we've kind of ingrained in ourselves over the last 50 years. We would rather talk around the issue than deal with it. And that's something that I think historically has never been us as a people.
**SPEAKER_1** (1:48)
Yeah, to us going into 2028, I was encouraging him to think about if he wants to win, to be, you know, changing some of the positions that's not working. What policies on the Democratic Party do you agree with? Any of it?
**Andre Williams** (2:06)
I'm not a political party person. Yeah, Democratic Party, Republican Party.
**SPEAKER_1** (2:10)
Which you said as a family, you guess, have been Republicans.
**Andre Williams** (2:12)
We vote Republican by default, but it's more of what's in my interests, not so of I'm voting because I like these people.
**SPEAKER_1** (2:17)
Why do you vote Republican?
**Andre Williams** (2:19)
It's a close, I'm a nationalist, I'm a populist.
**SPEAKER_1** (2:21)
That's one, what else?
**Andre Williams** (2:22)
I believe that immigration is a big problem. I think mass migration is detrimental to this country. The Republican Party is the only one that's really defending it to a degree, and of course not entirely.
When it comes to being tough on crime, you mainly see that from the Republicans. But the problem is that both parties sit back and say that they want to solve the problem. They never do. Because the game is to keep these issues floating around so they have something to run on. And say, listen, we did a half-ass job for the last four years. You vote for me again, we might do somewhat of another half-ass job.
And that's the cycle what keeps going on.
**SPEAKER_1** (2:55)
Why you get into politics?
**Andre Williams** (2:56)
Getting into politics because there's a necessary change in this country, whether it be beyond Republican, Democrat, culturally, racially, socially, economically, it's necessary for this generation currently. I don't care about the political parties. These are tools for us to use. Political parties change every century. Political affiliations change every election cycle.
What the problems that exist and persist, that is either going to go current, if we don't come up with a solution. Hi, I'm Andre Williams, constantly critical of black culture, black fatigue, calling out the problems within our community across this country. If you want to reach out to me, you can reach me on Manect.
