Ep. 249: How do you keep Tennessee Tennessee? feat. John Rose

EARLY DROP! Congressman John Rose joins us in the studio for one of our most wide-ranging conversations yet. As one of the leading candidates in the race for Governor of Tennessee, Rose sits down to discuss his vision for the Volunteer State, what sets Tennessee apart, and how we can preserve the values, culture, and agricultural heritage that have made it one of the fastest-growing states in America. With hundreds of people moving to Tennessee every day, we ask the big question: How do we keep Tennessee... Tennessee? We also tackle several of the biggest claims being made against Rose on the campaign trail. Is he in favor of China buying American farmland? Where does he actually stand on illegal immigration? We give him the opportunity to respond directly and explain his positions. Beyond politics, we dive into Rose's deep agricultural roots, his family's farming legacy, and how that background shaped both his career and his approach to public service. Then we wrap things up with a fun surprise as John reveals his family's connection to a legendary rock star, making for one of the most unexpected stories we've ever had on the show. Whether you're a Tennessee farmer, interested in state politics, or just want to hear an unfiltered conversation with one of the state's highest-profile candidates, this is an episode you won't want to miss. https://tnfarmbureau.org/ifarmivote  Go check out Agzaga! It is the ultimate online farm store.
