Liberty, Leadership and Lies with Larry Linton
Hosted by Larry Linton · EN
We'll discuss the hypocrisy of the political class, or the "New Aristocracy", and how they are eroding the liberty of the citizens and destroying our Constitutional Republic. We will discuss how our liberty is threatened by the very people who swear an oath to defend it, and how we can fight together to restore it. Your host Larry Linton, retired U.S. Navy Command Master Chief and former candidate for TN House District 12, will guide us in the topics of liberty, lies, and leadership as it applies to local, state, and federal government.

Transcribe →Episode 220: Leadership – Principled Leaders Don’t Need Lies
Dec 900:33:39Tap to summarizeJoin me today from snowy Wyoming to expose the deceptive "Education Freedom Scholarship" program under Governor Bill Lee, labeling it a voucher scam that prioritizes elite enrichment and government overreach over genuine educational reform, while dissecting the lies peddled by establishment Republicans like Marsha Blackburn and John Rose. I contrast the establishment cronies’ unprincipled actions with the transparent, constitutional leadership of gubernatorial candidate Monty Fritts, who vows to suspend the program on day one. Tennessee voters must reject the establishment in the 2026 GOP Primary. Let’s support the concept that true leadership confronts truths head-on.

Transcribe →Episode 219: Leadership - Birds of a Feather
Dec 100:30:37Tap to summarizeListen in while I break down another instance of a Sevier County, Tennessee, elected official censoring viewpoints on their social media page. Birds of a feather certainly do flock together when it comes to silencing critics here in the capital of the Good Old Boy Network. Listeners should contact their offices and ask them for their reasoning on violating the SCOTUS decision on viewpoint discrimination. We'll also point out historical examples of what happens when leadership engages in censorship and viewpoint discrimination with examples from ancient Rome, Russia, China, Germany, the US, the EU, and now the UK. Censorship is never done by the good guys folks.

Transcribe →Episode 218: Lies - The Father of Lies at Work
Nov 2600:43:08Tap to summarizeThis week I talk about the Father of Lies and how his work is now mimicked by government and culture and the purpose of lies. Once again, I highlight the qualities of three Christ-centered servant leaders seeking elected office right here in Tennessee in 2026.

Transcribe →Episode 216: Liberty - An Interview with author and former Democrat Operative Lisa Ekman
Nov 1001:11:41Tap to summarizeIn this week's compelling episode I sit down with Lisa Ekman, a former Democratic lobbyist who spent over two decades in Washington before breaking free from progressive ideology. Drawing heavily from her explosive new book, Deprogramming Democrats & unEducating the Elites: How I Escaped the Progressive Cult, Lisa reveals the cult-like tactics of the Left, exposes elite hypocrisy, and shares practical steps for anyone questioning their political programming. From behind-the-scenes lies to the personal cost of awakening, this conversation is a must-listen for truth-seekers ready to reclaim independent thought.

Transcribe →Episode 213: Liberty - Silencing Free Speech and Violating Oaths
Oct 2000:31:35Tap to summarizeThis week I am going to stick with some local Sevier County issues, but those issues have a national implication. The free speech that is being silenced is being conducted by none other than the state representative for Tennessee House District 12, Fred Atchley. Additionally, it would seem that the County Sheriff has decided not to follow his oath. Guess what though - they both belong to the same group of people, yep the Good Old Boy network that have controlled Sevier County for nearly 50 years now.

Transcribe →Episode 215: Special – Interview with Will Bolton
Oct 1301:01:19Tap to summarizeThis week I sit down with Will Bolton, the anti-establishment challenger vying for Tennessee House District 23 in the 2026 GOP primary against incumbent Mark Cochran. In this episode we expose the Nashville swamp's betrayals—from hypocritical pro-life exceptions and wasteful school vouchers to border invasions and bloated budgets—while Will Bolton shares his no-compromise vision for true conservative leadership rooted in military service, law enforcement grit, and grassroots accountability. Tune in to hear how Will plans to drain the corruption, defend veterans, and restore Tennessee's sovereignty against establishment lies.
