Monte Mader

I want to know what the data is.

And I got to a point in the summer where I was like, I can no longer in good conscience in any way, even by perception, associate with this movement.

And I also realized I had to tell my dad, which I knew would lead to me being disowned.

I knew that that was what was going to happen.

I knew that.

I knew that in advance.

My dad was very aligned with the movement, although he didn't like Trump.

So there was that.

But very aligned with Christian nationalism.

Sure.

And it was very my way or the highway with him.

And he had disowned several of my other siblings for disobeying him or doing things he didn't agree with.

So I knew that that was coming.

And he was also, he was my best friend.

He was my mentor.

I was very, very close to my dad.

And I made the decision that I was I needed to have a conversation with him.

And we had had this conversation on the phone.

He had accidentally but dialed me and he was just really happy that day, like just very, very joyful and told me he loved me.

I was working on my first EP and that he was proud of me and he had never seen someone go after what they want.
