The Freedom Matters Podcast

In this life, all things – good AND bad - must come to an end. Join us for this very special and nostalgic conversation.

What do Steve McQueen and Marsha Blackburn have in common?  Nothing. What do Kash Patel and Bill Lee have in common?  Nothing again.  And yet we somehow found a way talk about these things and so much more in our penultimate episode. 

Vanderbilt University is under investigation by the US Department of Justice, the Tennessee Republican legislature continues to impede good Republican legislation, and in Brazil they are destroying trees to save the trees.  Strange times, indeed. 

The more things change, the more they remain the same. Gary and Kevin diagnose a victory for the grassroots at the County Party reorganization last week before examining why our Republican governor continues to publicly advocate against individual liberty. 

Daily Wire culture reporter and author Megan Basham joins us today to discuss her new book, “Shepherds for Sale: How Evangelical Leaders Traded Truth for a Leftist Agenda.”  

This week, we welcome Steve Hickey and Tim Raynaud to talk about the bi-annual Republican party reorganization in Williamson County, and why the county party can play a significant role in keeping Democrats out of Republican primaries. 

It’s Valentine’s week, and Kevin has a political crush on Argentina’s President Javier Milei.  Barack Obama? Not so much! Gary then educates us on why there is good reason to support both the FREE Act and a Constitutional Amendment to secure the rights of home-schoolers in Tennessee. 

Today we are rejoined by State Representative Jody Barrett to discuss the tom foolery that went down last week to hoist another welfare program on Tennesseans under the name of “school choice.”   Don’t be fooled.  What has been promised is not what you’re going to get.  But you will be getting a lot of things you never asked for. 

Returning to the studio today to join us is a free man, Mr. Paul Vaughn, back in town fresh off the Presidential Pardon from Donald Trump, given to Paul and 22 other pro-lifers who were unlawfully subjected to the unconstitutional FACE Act. 

It is a new day in America, and Gary and Kevin spend a little time reviewing the President’s incredible first day in office.  In Tennessee, however, Senator Jack Johnson is unhappy, while the Governor is apparently getting nervous about his beloved school voucher obsession.
