Now, more than ever, the great people of Tennessee are frustrated with the current direction we’re headed as a state and as a country. ‘We the People’ need to stand together, not simply as individuals, but as a force of nature, in order to protect individual liberty. On this show you'll hear from three voices that lead an organization called Tennessee Stands; Director of Communications, John Pfaender, Executive Director, Gary Humble and Chairman of the Board, Kevin Kookogey. We'll sit down with politicians, business leaders, community organizers and citizens just like yourself, to discuss the ideas, action points, and strategies needed to boldly take a stand and assert the unalienable rights given to us naturally by God.
The Freedom Matters Podcast is an incredibly important resource for anyone in Tennessee who values freedom and liberty. Hosted by Gary Humble and his team, this podcast provides honest and informative discussions about legislative issues in the state and how individuals can make a difference. It is a vital tool for educating, informing, and equipping Tennesseans to protect their God-given rights. I highly recommend supporting their work in any way possible and staying engaged with their content.
One of the best aspects of The Freedom Matters Podcast is its dedication to providing the truth about what is happening at a legislative level in Tennessee. The hosts genuinely care about educating their audience, and their discussions are informative, well-researched, and thought-provoking. They bring attention to important issues that may not receive widespread coverage elsewhere, making it an invaluable source for staying informed.
Unfortunately, one drawback of this podcast is its frequency. As a listener, I hope to see more than one episode per week as the audience grows. The discussions are engaging and insightful, and it would be fantastic to have more opportunities to hear from the hosts on a regular basis. However, this minor criticism does not diminish the overall value of the content they provide.
In conclusion, The Freedom Matters Podcast is an exceptional resource for anyone interested in Tennessee politics and protecting individual liberties. Gary Humble and his team do an excellent job of delivering honest information that empowers listeners to make a difference. By supporting their work and staying engaged with their content, individuals can contribute to the movement for freedom in Tennessee.
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.
Today we are pleased to welcome homeschool champion Mr. Robert Bortins, CEO of Classical Conversations. If you think that so-called “school choice” is a good idea, think again, and listen to this compelling examination of why Robert describes Tennessee's proposed school voucher program as not just bad, but the worst of all of the so-called school-choice initiatives pending across the country.
In the words of Bob Dylan, the times they are a changin', in America, and in Canada! In Tennessee, however, some new bills have been filed that confirm the old adage: the more things change, the more they stay the same.
Join Gary Humble alone in the studio today, as he covers statistics from a legislative survey, and issues a challenge in the new year for conservatives across Tennessee.
From family Christmas traditions to Christmas blessings unfolding across the nation, Gary and Kevin unwrap a few political presents where they find an abundance of evidence that God is with us, and for that we give Him all the praise and glory.
Before Santa Claus comes down your chimney, Gary and I have a few things to throw in your stocking, including some coal for Republicans, who can't seem to help themselves from pushing the Leftist agenda in Tennessee and across the nation.
We have a potpourri for you today! From AI's demands on the electric grid, to Sheriffs assisting Trump with deportations, throw in a dash of Tennessee's arguments before the Supreme Court, and end it all with a little commentary about the 2026 Governor's race in Tennessee. All that packed in your Christmas stocking in less than an hour!See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

As David declares in Psalm 115, “Not unto us, O Lord, not unto us, but to thy name give glory.” Gary and Kevin debrief Election Night 2024, revisiting the historic re-alignment made visible and possible by God alone. We then examine our duty to advance boldly upon the Great Commission, knowing that those who are with us are more than those who are with the enemies of God.

When freedom prevailed, we knew the results of an election before we went to bed. But in this age when voting begins 2 months before an election and continues for days or weeks thereafter, where who votes does not matter as much as who counts the votes, and where courts become the final arbiters of what used to be self-governing society, what could possibly go wrong? Join us for this special election day podcast, where Gary tries to elicit Kevin's prediction!See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

We are under attack by global elites and foreign enemies who are taking aim at American dominance by working to undermine the dollar, create a new reserve currency, and enslave the American people with a central bank digital currency. Join host Gary Humble and special guest Kevin Freeman, as they discuss his latest book: Pirate Money: Discovering the Founders' Hidden Plan for Economic Justice and Defeating the Great Reset.Buy Pirate Money: https://www.piratemoneybook.com/See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
The 2024 Tennessee primary elections just proved what an old friend of mine once told me: “Money talks, loyalty walks.” Apparently, for now at least, even the best of grassroots activity is no match for a cascade of dollars designed to cover over a multitude of sins. And what was Israel able to do in 2 days that the CIA failed to accomplish in 40 years?

Who would have thought that a slight turn of the head at just the right moment could change so much – and reveal so much more? By the grace of God alone, Donald Trump is not only alive and well, he is looking more and more likely to be the 47th President of the United States of America. Gary and Kevin reflect on the dramatic issues of this past week, and for good measure, Gary announces some good news from the 6th Circuit Court of Appeals. See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
Early voting has commenced, so Gary and Kevin tackle a few of the most important considerations as you head to the polls.

See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

How Bizarre that we are living in a time when America - the nation that used to be the beacon of freedom to the entire world – now actively makes political prisoners out of ordinary Americans. And yet, not all is lost. There is good news coming out of the Ninth Circuit, from a band of doctors, and even from an NBA basketball coach.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Today, we are joined by Larry Linton, Republican candidate for District 12 State Representative. Larry has run up against a little tomfoolery in Sevier County, where the county GOP is proving that rules, apparently, are only for the other guy. When it comes to selecting its preferred candidate, Republicans' doctrine is: “Bylaws for thee , not for me.” And you thought monkey business was limited to the zoo.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
We welcome back Tennessee Representative Jody Barrett to engage in a little chit-chat about the now-adjourned 113 the General Assembly.
