1038: Why America Needs New Leaders in Congress

1038: Why America Needs New Leaders in Congress

What does America First actually mean in 2025? Texas attorney and father of three Daniel Betts joins me to break down why he’s running for Congress to restore faith, family, and freedom — and why Texas can lead the way without leaving the Union.

What happens when a millennial dad, lawyer, and Christian decides he’s had enough of career politicians? In this episode, I sit down with Daniel Betts — a Texas attorney and father of three — who’s running for Congress to restore faith, family, and freedom to D.C. We talk about what it really means to put America First, why states’ rights still matter, and how Texans can lead by example instead of walking away from the Union.

Betts shares his remarkable journey from organic chemist to criminal defense attorney to congressional candidate. He opens up about what drove him to run, how faith guides his campaign, and why he believes political courage begins with listening to ordinary people — not donors or bureaucrats.


We dive deep into what “America First” actually means: smaller federal power, strong borders, free trade (not fake trade), and a return to liberty through personal responsibility. Daniel also pulls no punches when it comes to the Republican establishment — calling for less nanny-state conservatism and more constitutional common sense.


We also talk about generational change — how millennials and Gen Z can rise up to fix what decades of boomers broke. Daniel lays out how younger conservatives can take leadership roles with both humility and competence, proving that moral conviction and modern thinking can coexist. If you’re tired of platitudes, phony promises, and politics-as-usual, this episode will remind you why servant leadership still matters — and why the fight for freedom starts at home.
