So, Andrew, thank you for doing this. So, you're so controversial. I love that. Yeah, married man with six kids who pays his taxes. You're so controversial. Very. Controversial would be not paying your credit card bill and, you know, putting the banks out of business, convincing other people to do the same, not paying your federal taxes, forcing the U.S.
government to pay attention to its own citizens. You're doing none of that. So as far as I'm concerned, you're a non-controversial law-abiding man. But you are doing one thing that's pretty wild, which is participating in the building of a new town. It sounds almost like a Christian utopian experiment in Tennessee, but I don't really know. Can you tell me what it is and why you're doing it?
Yeah, so it's not quite that. It's not the Oneida community? Yeah, we're not building some kind of Anabaptist community. Okay, you're not the Shakers. No. No. No, really, it's, you know, it's a company, you know, Ridge Runner is purchasing land and sort of facilitating a lot of things.
Like you're familiar with the big sort where people are leaving, you know, blue states to go to red states and things like that, where it's along those lines where people are leaving. Like I left Minnesota, a very blue state. Everyone's now familiar with our governor in that state, Tim Walz. Don't hire him to babysit. No, I would not. He would be the last person. Yes, I think so.
And so we wanted to leave there. Many people want to leave places like that. My friend CJ left California, Gavin Newsom State, to come to Tennessee. And so it's a platform to be able to draw all of your friends together. It's like, well, we can kind of live anywhere. Why don't we all live in the same kind of place and bring our families, bring our businesses and build things together?
So it's sort of a platform for drawing people that are spread out all throughout the country and can leave these places that are not great. Living in large cities or suburbs where you're just totally disconnected and, you know, really isolated, alienated from normal life. And you can have the American small town experience once again.
It's so sad to hear you say that about Minnesota. As a Scandinavian, I always thought of it, was told, you know, it's like where all the Swedes are. And it's kind of, you know, lots of saunas and, you know, red cheek children and it's clean and reasonable, you know. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Not the case anymore. Why did you leave there?
You know, for us, it was... Are you from there? I'm from there, yeah. Born and raised in Waseca, Minnesota. My children were the sixth generation of our family that lived in that town. Oh, gosh. And... In the town? In that town, yeah. In the town of Waseca. Are your ancestors buried there? Yeah, there's six generations that are buried there. Even one of my own children that passed.
We lived a couple blocks away from the cemetery where all of my ancestors were buried. Oh, gosh. Oh, that's very heavy to leave a place like that. Yes. And it was after the 2022 election. where the Democrats took control of the state Senate finally, and Tim Walz could do whatever he wanted to do. The first thing he passed was, in the wake of the Dobbs decision,
