Libertarians Take on Texas: Freedom at Stake

Join Free for All on Grumblings Media as hosts Big John and Jody Johns, with guest Ted Brown, Libertarian candidate for U.S. Senate in Texas, discuss critical legislative issues in Texas. They explore the proposed ban on hemp-derived THC products (SB 3), threatening an $8 billion industry and patient access. The conversation covers anti-DEI and LGBTQ+ bills (SB 12, SB 37), mandating Ten Commandments in schools (SB 10), abortion restrictions with surveillance (SB 8), and barriers to third-party ballot access. Ted shares insights on the Libertarian Party’s fight for freedom and the cultural vs. political approach to contentious issues like abortion.
