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.

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.

On this very special 150th Episode of the Freedom Matters Podcast, Gary and I discuss the potential unexpected ramifications of Joe Biden’s Pardon of his son Hunter.

We have so much for which to be thankful, and we celebrate these things today, all the while mindful that the enemy never rests, from green boondoggles in the blue-oval city to cross-dressing teachers in Tennessee public schools, always be alert and awake even as you enjoy a great American holiday!

The Trump Dance is taking over the world, figuratively and literally, where even the NFL is losing control of its contrived narratives. And with Tennessee set to appear before the Supreme Court to defend its legislation against child mutilation, Gary examines the arguments, reminding us to remain vigilant in prayer.

Gary and Kevin debrief Election Night 2024, revisiting the historic re-alignment made visible and possible by God alone.

Join us for this special election day podcast, where Gary tries to elicit Kevin’s prediction!

Our special guest today is Matt Thayer of Spero Pictures, producer of the docuseries The Enemy Within, a 3-episode true crime, psychological docu-thriller, diving into the mind of one of the most controversial CEO’s of all time.

Our special guest today is, Danielle Goodrich, from East Tennessee Freedom. Danielle examines the origins of UNESCO, its agenda, and the implementation of global geo-engineering and weather modification. We also ask why our Christian governor has said nothing publicly about Christian persecution in his own state.

Why was the Tennessee National Guard sent to Kuwait the day before Hurricane Helene devastated East Tennessee, and why is the Governor of Tennessee only lending $100 million in assistance when he gave away $1.5 BILLION to build electric cars and stadiums? Inquiring minds want to know!

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.
