Episode 71: Home Runs and Healthcare

- Filmed 6/11/26 - In this episode of Fresh Freedom, Paul Teller joins me for a wide-ranging conversation covering everything from the Congressional Baseball Game to the biggest policy battles facing Congress. We start by discussing this year's Congressional Baseball Game, the unique relationships it builds across party lines, and why it's one of the most enduring traditions on Capitol Hill. From there, we dive into the recent passage of Reconciliation 2.0, why many conservatives believe it missed important opportunities, and what should be included in a potential Reconciliation 3.0 package. We discuss healthcare affordability, price transparency, government waste, Planned Parenthood funding, and the reforms needed to put patients back in control of their healthcare decisions. We also examine the challenge of delivering meaningful conservative victories while Republicans control the House, Senate, and White House, and what voters expect from unified government. Finally, we discuss recent developments involving Iran, President Trump's foreign policy strategy, and the debate within the conservative movement over America's role abroad.

Episode 70: The JFK Files

- Filmed 5/22/26 - In episode 70 of Fresh Freedom, we sit down with investigative journalist Jefferson Morley to dig into one of the most debated historical cases in American history: the Assassination of John F. Kennedy. We walk through newly released documents, the long-running push for declassification, and the ongoing tension between public transparency and national security claims within the Central Intelligence Agency. Jeff breaks down what we actually know about disputed records, including material tied to surveillance activity in Mexico City and the broader intelligence context surrounding Lee Harvey Oswald. The conversation also gets into a bigger question that still hasn’t been resolved: whether what we’re seeing is institutional incompetence, deliberate concealment, or something more complex in between. At its core, this episode is about accountability, historical truth, and whether the public can ever fully reconstruct what happened from sealed government archives.

Episode 68: Rich States, Poor States

- Filmed 4/20/26 - On this episode of Fresh Freedom, we sat down with Jonathan Williams, President and Chief Economist at ALEC, to break down why government continues to grow despite constant promises of limited government. We talked through the latest Rich States, Poor States rankings and what separates the states that are thriving from the ones falling behind. From tax policy and regulation to spending and labor laws, the data tells a clear story about what drives economic growth and what pushes people and businesses out. We also dug into the bigger issue of federal overreach, how states are becoming increasingly dependent on federal dollars, and what that means for the future of federalism. From Medicaid expansion to property taxes and runaway spending at the local level, this conversation highlights how policy decisions are directly impacting everyday Americans. If everyone claims to support limited government, why does it keep expanding? This is a conversation about what’s working, what’s not, and what needs to change.

Episode 67: Tax Day Reality Check

- Filmed 4/15/26 - On this episode of Fresh Freedom, we sat down with Club for Growth President David McIntosh to break down what tax day really means for Americans this year. We talked through the impact of the Working Families Tax Cuts, what rising refunds and higher take-home pay signal for the economy, and whether that momentum will be enough to carry Republicans through the midterms. We also dug into the bigger fight ahead, including government spending, healthcare costs, and the role of free market policies in bringing prices down. McIntosh shared insight from years of experience on how economic growth, deregulation, and accountability in Washington all tie together. At the core of the conversation was a simple question: are Americans actually feeling the results of these policies, and will it change how they vote? This episode gets into the numbers, the strategy, and the stakes.
