Freedom Fighter Podcast
At the Freedom Fighters Podcast, we passionately believe in freedom—not just as a concept, but as a calling. We believe that God, our forefathers, and our own choices lay the foundation for the freedoms we enjoy today. This podcast is our way of exploring what it really means to live free—financially, personally, and spiritually.
Each episode dives into the real stories of people who are fighting for something bigger than themselves. We believe true financial freedom comes from faithfulness, integrity, and the courage to keep going, even when life gets hard. Through honest conversations and powerful lessons, we share the tools, strategies, and mindset shifts that help others pursue freedom on their own terms.
We’re here to grow, to give, and to open doors for others. Because when one of us breaks free, it creates a ripple effect. And we believe that kind of freedom is always worth the fight.

The Role of Government and Individual Rights!
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
From dissecting free speech in the digital age to wrestling with the complexities of government power and individual rights, this episode is a deep dive into what makes America tick. We’re not claiming to have all the answers—because let’s face it, some of these issues are bigger than soundbites. But if you’re ready to challenge your perspectives and wrestle with moral dilemmas, this is the conversation for you.
📌 Key Takeaways:
✅ Freedom of Speech: It’s not about protecting the speech we agree with—it’s about defending the speech we don’t. But where’s the line, and who gets to draw it?
✅ States vs. Federal Power: Should more control be shifted back to the states? Why local decisions might better reflect the will of communities.
✅ Radicalism and Polarization: How extreme views drown out the silent majority—and what we can do about it.
✅ Ethical Dilemmas: From the trolley problem to nuclear codes, we explore the tough moral questions that shape our values and decisions.
✅ Power to the People: The community’s voice can shape policies, but are we using that power constructively or just creating more division?
✅ Golden Rule in Governance: Could treating others the way we want to be treated solve the deep divides, or is it just wishful thinking?

If you can't address complex issues, you probably don't really have the right to form an opinion. Maybe right's the wrong word to use there. But I think that you should have to think about difficult things in order to address some of these topics. Tanner, welcome. This is our first solo you and I recording since we kicked off the podcast and actually released it. So all the other ones people saw were, were prequels to the podcast being released. Mostly because I think statistically speaking, like 90 % of podcasts quit before episode 10. we said, Hey, we're gonna make it to at least 10 before we quit though. we want it to be better than 90 % of people out there.
Yeah, I'd say it's going pretty well. I mean, we're having great conversations. You we just, we just got done talking to, you know, a couple of great people and telling their stories. And, and I feel like we're just scratching the surface of, you know, people's individual struggles through business and parenting and marriage. And I just love being able to share all the different journeys with, you know, with our audience. Yeah. I mean, I think we're hopefully getting better recording, hopefully getting better speaking, hopefully, know, it's interactive process and maybe at the time we get to a hundred thousand episodes, we make it there, you know, we might actually be good at this. I've trying to keep it under like 250 on episodes. think I'm doing all right. yeah, but so we're sitting here. That's what November 11th. We're four days post election and we're free to fire the podcast. So we kind of wanted to.
I shared with you a post I made on Facebook and said, Hey, how do you feel about talking about this? And I don't necessarily mean from a controversial standpoint. mean more just a freedom fighters, house. What is freedom? What is a right? What are we as Americans? What are we here? What does America stand for when it comes to rights and stuff like that? And I pray have a more, I guess it'd be conservative viewpoint of that as America as a whole, not traditional conservative liberal. And one example of that is I served 20 years in the Air Force. I think the Air Force is unconstitutional per the Constitution. reasoning for that, Constitution plainly says the right of the government to raise an army in the Navy. There was no Air Force in 1776. So in my opinion. Same thing with the space force. They should have ratified the constitution and made an amendment to it. A lot of stuff when it comes to government involvement, am pretty conservative. I just want to preference this conversation with that.
Yeah, I probably don't know enough about it to touch on that. That's a large claim that I'm unfamiliar with, but I can get what you're going with it. Yeah, I just think government should be small.
