Summary

Republicans are gaining momentum in key midterms races; and with federalism on the rise in our politics, watching republicans thrive in the gubernatorial races has been encouraging. In this episode, Governor Bill Lee of Tennessee joins us to discuss his own race for re-election and the current state of our country. Before entering politics in 2018, Governor Lee was president of his grandfather’s business, where his leadership took the company’s annual revenue from $20 million to $140 million. His success in business has informed his governing policy; and as a result many companies, including The Daily Wire, have resettled in Tennessee in the wake of disastrous democratic policy.  In Nashville, recent controversy at Vanderbilt University over transgender programs has directly involved Governor Lee in statewide protection of children. We will discuss. Plus, Lee breaks down his plans for abortion bans, job growth in TN, and places conservatives can win in the coming years.
