North Carolina earned the designation "first in freedom" by being the first of the thirteen colonies to officially declare independence from England on April 12, 1776. With our freedom under attack, we want to be first in freedom once again. On the First in Freedom Podcast, we discuss current threats to our freedom, how they impact us here at home, and what we can do to stop it. Join other freedom fighters across the state and let's take freedom back! Follow the show on Facebook and/or Gettr to learn more about the host and keep up with the latest.
In this week's episode, I want to share an important chapter from the book “Live Not By Lies” and the most critical thing we all need to do to fight the growing tyranny around us. Also, an update on Medicaid expansion, your weekly dose of CRT in NC public schools, and how NC is spending federal COVID funds.

18. Just Say No
In this episode, I interview Brian Balfour of the John Locke Foundation to discuss medicaid expansion, a true wolf in sheep's clothing. Also, the NC Supreme Court is at it again in hopes of stealing another election.
