Align Us sat down with true American Patriot, talented musician and comedian, Chad Prather to discuss the state of our country and what we need to do to make it great again.
Exclusive Interview: Chad Prather
“You gotta know that you're doing business with people you trust, people that are going to be honest with you and they're legitimate…”
- Chad Prather on Align Us
Chad Prather, entrepreneur, musician, comedian, and advocate against the ‘woke agenda’ and ‘cancel culture’ took the time to sit with a friend of ours, Kyle Reyes, on behalf of Align Us.
They covered important topics affecting America today- the importance of doing business with the right people, the direction America is heading and how to correct it. He provided us valuable and unique insight into everything that’s going on.
Here’s a snapshot of our interview with Chad.
Kyle: “You are serious about getting in the fight for this country. Talk to us about that.”
Chad: “I'm very passionate about this state [Texas]. But the things that were going on- particularly covid shutdowns and the pandemic, things have gotten so bloated in this state. We're starting to mirror the federal government, its bureaucracy in Washington DC- I don't like that, I don't think that's Texas.”
Chad expressed his disappointment with the covid and mask mandates issued by Gov. Abbot in the summer of 2020. In an unprecedented move, Chad posted on Twitter that he was running for Texas Governor in the next election cycle.
He wasn’t serious but many of his fans thought he was. So, he gave it some thought, and decided to pursue it for the 2022 election season.
Chad: "We knew that, financially, I didn't come with any big donors or any backers. So we knew what the results were going to be but we hung in there with it. For 19 months we campaigned, we educated a lot of people."
With his influence and conviction, he knew he could still make difference for the people of Texas.
Chad: “We were able to come together as people... as Patriots. We showed people you can have civil discourse and dialogue in regards to that, even if you disagree."
Kyle: “You've got people coming over from California because they hate the mess that they voted into office. They're coming out to Texas and trying to vote that mess back into office. What's going on here?”
Chad: "He [TX Gov. Abbot] threw the doors open to Silicon Valley. He brought Google here, Amazon's here, Tesla's headquartered here." He continued, "It's driving the property taxes higher. So we're losing our values here in the state of Texas."
Chad cited his concerns over the influx of people moving into Texas who may have deeply rooted progressive ideology. His fear is the impact it could have on America.
Chad: "Texas is built on a solid foundation. But we've gotten away from that. I remind people everywhere, we gotta make sure Texas is great because if Texas falls, America falls."
Kyle: “Let's talk about woke corporate America. We look back at Post 9-11 and Patriotism and comparing it with post 2020, it's like two different Americas. What are your thoughts on this woke movement?”
Chad: "It's a toxic thing that's happening to our culture and it's affecting our politics. As the late Andrew Breitbart said, 'politics runs downstream of culture' and it's true."
He continued: "With the big tyranny of social media, the big tyranny of mainstream media, big government, judicial tyranny, educational tyranny and all these different things… now we've seen corporate and medical tyranny happen through the pandemic. Everybody is judging themselves in how 'woke' they are… and how progressive are we? We're letting the 1% of the subcategory control the narrative and the agenda. We live in an age where it's 'my truth' not 'the truth.'"
Kyle: "We hear more and more talk about 'tribalism' because we're finding our people, that's happening on both sides. But it's 'bad' if you're a conservative. Where are we going with this tribalism? Is it bad?"
Chad: "It was true once upon a time in America, that if you cut somebody, they will bleed their own version of red, white and blue- their own version of patriotism."
He continued: "I used to say, if you fly on an airplane, you don't want to fly out on the wings, you don't want to fly on the right wing or the left wing, you want to be in the middle. That's where the survivability is, right? The problem is we're living out on the tips of the wings, at least we're being accused of it these days. And we've got a bird that doesn't have a brain running this country."
Chad feels that too many aspects of traditional Americana, like comedy, are being negatively impacted. But he reminds everyone that comedians like Dave Chappelle are getting people in an uproar, but that it’s also making him more powerful at the same time.
But there are things about the woke culture that he simple cannot bear.
Chad said: "When you have churches here in Texas that are having family friendly drag shows, that ain't a church. You would think that would be common sense to call that out."
Chad Prather- The Entrepreneur
Kyle: "You launched a brand and some products. Why?”
Chad: "I started selling T-shirts when I was in college. For me it's always been fun that you could basically put a billboard on a T-shirt and say something funny; I've always been a joke teller." He continued, "For instance that night Nancy Pelosi tore up the State of the Union speech that Donald Trump gave, I went right to my computer and made a shirt that said, 'don't be a Nancy'; the thing sold like crazy."
Chad has a charitable side to him- unlike many businessmen. When Texas experienced unprecedented freezing temperatures several years ago that left thousands without power for days, his team stepped up.
They raised tens of thousands of dollars for just a single charity alone. He has a big heart and always puts the people first.
He went on to talk about his other business ventures.
Chad said: "We started Unapologetic Ventures, 76 Forever.com, my girlfriend and I just started the Real Women's Club." He continued, "We've got a shirt out there that says, 'real women are not men'- simple things like that."
Kyle: "Then there's Align Us where you can rate businesses based on how 'woke' they are. I have to imagine that's something near and dear to you."
Chad: "These companies out there that just do really dumb things in the name of wokeness- you deserve to be mocked."
Kyle: "Why is it so important to know why businesses stand on things?"
Chad: "It matters because your dollar has to go farther, right? You gotta know that you're doing business with people you trust, people that are going to honest with you and they're legitimate- and they're a true resource for what you need. That's why I like that."
Kyle: "How can people learn more about you?"
Chad: "The one-stop for me is www.watchchad.com That is the most ‘vain’ URL ever," he jokes. "You can get everything from my tour dates, my books, you can get music and of course merchandise.”
Kyle: "What's it going to take to fix this country?"
Chad: "We've got to pray. We've got to come together and get some common values." He continued, "We've kind of thumbed our nose at Heaven and said 'no, we'll take it from here’. We're trusting money to bail us out, we're trusting politicians to bail us out. It's gonna take REAL people getting involved."
As a businessman, entrepreneur and patriotic American, Chad understands the value Align Us provides. He believes in freedom and people having a choice and a voice. That is a core foundation of America.
And it is a core foundation for Align Us. We focus on giving people a choice by educating them with valuable information on the political leanings of a business or organization. Furthermore, we want to give people a method to voice their thoughts, beliefs, and opinions on businesses to help other people as well.
Our goal is to help people make the right decision, for the right reasons.
