Robert People is a 21-year retired US Army veteran running as a Democrat for Congress in Florida's 15th District (FL-15) — challenging incumbent Laurel Lee in 2026.

In this Breaking the Meta interview, Robert breaks down what affordability really means in Florida, why homeowners insurance is forcing residents out of the state, and how a creeping accountability crisis in Congress threatens our standing with allies abroad. He also goes on the record about Epstein-files silence inside his own party — a rare move from a Democratic challenger.

We talk about:
- What "affordability" means across Tampa, Brandon, Plant City, Lakeland, Wesley Chapel, and the rest of FL-15
- Why Florida's homeowners insurance crisis is becoming a federal infrastructure question
- How Robert wants to be held accountable — quarterly town halls, follow-through, and a proposed nonpartisan accountability agency
- Why he says removing this administration has to be the first action item
- What he's hearing from conservative voters on TikTok and at forums
- Why the trust of US allies is now systemic, not partisan
- His Day One plan if he wins in November 2026
