  3. The Manosphere Is Turning American Masculinity Upside Down

    In this monologue, Gates Garcia takes on the anti-American movement claiming to restore masculinity.

  4. Your Kids Aren’t Your Experiment | WTP Ep. 89

    In this episode of We The People, Gates Garcia has a sentence every parent needs to hear: your children are not your political experiment.

  5. Less Conversion, More Evangelization | WTP Ep. 88

    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…

  7. What AI Can't Replace | WTP Ep. 77

    In this episode of We The People, Gates Garcia says we've been asking the wrong question about artificial intelligence.

  8. Character Maxxing | WTP Ep. 76

    In this episode of We The People, Gates Garcia takes on the internet's "maxing" trend — looksmaxxing, moneymaxxing, sleepmaxxing — and asks the question nobody's posting about: what if you're building a man everyone notices, but almost nobody trusts? Self-improvement isn't the problem. But Gates...

  9. The Purpose Crisis | WTP Ep. 75

    In this episode of We The People, Gates Garcia asks a question that made him uncomfortable: if every politician in Washington suddenly agreed with him on every issue tomorrow, would his life actually be any different? Would he love his wife any better, be more patient, more generous, a stronger…

    more
  10. Common Sense Isn't Controversial | WTP Ep. 74

    In this episode of We The People, Gates Garcia breaks down the bill House Republicans just passed — one that says if you want to vote in an American election, you have to prove you're an American citizen — and asks how a sentence like that ever became a national controversy. Cable news is melting...

  11. The Capitalism Problem - Ep. 73

    In this monologue episode of We The People, Gates Garcia reacts to a new Gallup poll showing declining confidence in capitalism and asks a simple but urgent question: How did America become uncertain about the very system that built its prosperity? Gates argues that the real issue isn't...

  12. Strong Men Matter - Ep. 72

    In this monologue episode of We The People, Gates Garcia examines the conversation surrounding the Pentagon's reported plan to screen service members over 30 for low testosterone—and argues that the real story has little to do with a single hormone. Instead, Gates explores what it says about the...

    In this monologue episode of We The People, Gates Garcia reflects on the kind of message he believes America needs to hear right now. Rather than focusing on division, fear, or political grievances, Gates argues that the nation's greatest strength has always been the confidence of ordinary…

  14. AMERICA AT 250 | Ep. 6 - The Arena

    The fireworks are over. The smoke has cleared. Now comes the part that matters most.

It's written by people willing to step into the...

  15. AMERICA AT 250 | Ep. 5 - Common Sense

    Before you watch the fireworks tonight... Ask yourself one question. If America disappeared tomorrow, what idea would the world miss the most? Two hundred and fifty years ago, one small pamphlet helped change the course of history. Thomas Paine called it Common Sense. Its message wasn't written…

  16. AMERICA AT 250 | Ep. 4 - The Secret of Liberty

    What's the greatest threat to America? For years, we've been told it's our past. The Founders believed it would come from our future. Not from a foreign army. Not from an invading power. But from a people who slowly lose the character necessary to remain free. Freedom was never meant to stand on...

  17. America at 250 | Ep. 3 - Sacrifice

    The American Dream has an enemy almost nobody is talking about. It's not inflation. It's not Washington. It's comfort. Comfort is one of the blessings of a free society. But when comfort becomes our highest goal, sacrifice begins to look like failure instead of virtue. The men who founded this...

  18. America at 250 | Episode 2: Worth Dying For

    Freedom has never been free. Before Patrick Henry declared, "Give me liberty, or give me death," he understood exactly what those words meant. Courage isn't the absence of fear. It's choosing what is right despite it. Every generation faces moments that test its character. Ours is no exception....

  19. America at 250 | Ep. 1 – The Inheritance

    America turns 250 this week. But this series isn't really about the last 250 years. It's about the next 250. Over the next six days, I'm releasing one short monologue each day exploring the timeless ideas that built America—and what it will take to preserve her. Episode 1: The Inheritance We...

    more
  21. The China Problem - Ep. 67

    more
  22. The Gender Divide - Ep.66

  23. Treat People Right - Ep.65

    In this monologue episode of We The People, Gates Garcia reflects on a simple piece of advice from his grandfather that has stayed with him ever since: “Treat people right and the rest will take care of itself.” What first sounded almost too simple became something much deeper — a lesson about...

  24. Principles Don’t Flip - Ep. 64

    In this monologue episode of We The People, Gates Garcia takes a hard look at what happens when conviction is replaced by performance. In a political environment driven by algorithms, outrage, and attention, Gates challenges the idea that rapid ideological shifts are growth — arguing instead that...

  25. Exposing What’s Hiding in Plain Sight - Ep. 63

  27. Farther Than Ever - Ep. 61

    In this monologue episode of We The People, Gates Garcia reflects on a historic space mission that pushed human exploration farther than ever before — and what it reveals about American ambition, innovation, and resolve. In a moment that many treated like just another headline, Gates argues that...

  28. Ep. 60 – God Is Good

    In this monologue episode of We The People, Gates Garcia reflects on a remarkable rescue mission — and the one detail that mattered most. In a moment where confusion, deception, and danger could have cost lives, a single phrase cut through the noise. Gates explores why that moment wasn’t just...

  29. Free Speech, Culture, and the Future of the Right | David Rubin | WTP.Ep.59

  31. Raise Davids - Ep.56

  34. Two Weekends, Two Futures
