In this episode of Politics with the Big Dogs, Anthony sits down with David Glasheen, a Marine Corps veteran, attorney and Lubbock City Councilman, for a candid conversation about courage, liberty and leadership in modern America. Glasheen shares how his West Texas roots shaped his belief that real power belongs to the states—and to the people—not to unelected bureaucrats in Washington.
Together, Holm and Glasheen unpack how the erosion of states’ rights and the growth of federal power threaten individual freedom, local control and accountability. They discuss the role of courage in public life, why standing for the Constitution isn’t partisan and how shrinking big government is the only way to restore trust.
The conversation offers both warning and hope: America’s founding principles still work—but only if leaders have the courage to defend them.
