He also hosts a weekend show called Conceived in Liberty that airs on Saturdays from 7-9 PM. John Hallman has become a regular guest on Hughes show.

Jerry Hughes asked John Hallman to update the audience on his recent trip to Washington DC with many Florida FreedomWorks activists. John talked about the FreedomWorks agenda of Telecom Reform, Asbestos Reform, Social Security Reform and the repeal of the Death Tax. John talked about the economic freedom of choice, which is the key ingredient of a free market. John used the issue of Telecom and the Video Choice Act of 2005 as a prime example of consumer choice. John commented that “for too long, licensing laws have made it impossible for other potential video providers to compete with the existing cable companies, and provide competition and choice and ultimately lower prices for consumers”. John Hallman also told the audience about Operation Off-Set, where fiscally responsible members of Congress are looking for waste in the budget to off-set the costs of Hurricane Katrina relief.

John Hallman finished the show by urging everybody to join FreedomWorks and becoming involved to change the direction of public policy. Jerry Hughes commended John Hallman for the great work FreedomWorks is doing not only in Florida but also around the country to advance freedom.
