Army veteran and Special Forces soldier Kyle Gauck joins Breaking the Meta to talk about why he’s running for Congress in Connecticut’s 2nd District. In this in-depth political interview, Kyle discusses January 6th, democracy, accountability, money in politics, term limits, the affordability crisis, and why working families are being crushed by the cost of living. He explains how his military service shaped his views on democracy, foreign policy, civil liberties, and what real representation should look like.
In this episode, we cover what people across eastern Connecticut are telling him at the doors, including fears about federal power, surveillance, and the rising cost of basic necessities. Kyle lays out his “human experience” approach to leadership, focused on putting people before corporations, protecting democracy, and restoring trust in government.
We also dive into foreign policy, America’s damaged alliances, NATO, and what it will take to rebuild global trust after the Trump era. Kyle explains why he supports term limits, banning stock trading in Congress, campaign finance reform, and greater transparency in government.
This conversation is about more than one campaign. It’s about the future of democracy, economic survival, and what kind of country we are becoming.
