KIRDB2096-Anthony Hudson on why he should be governor and Libertarian party controversy. - Keeping It Real With Dave Bondy

Dave Bondy sits down with Anthony Hudson, a truck‑driver‑turned‑business owner who has thrown his hat in the Libertarian ring for Michigan governor. Hudson lays out why he left the Republican Party without abandoning his conservative principles, emphasizing a consistent policy line that rejects big‑government spending and embraces personal liberty. He recounts turning down a $6.3 million offer from lobbyists, framing the decision as a proof of integrity and a refusal to be bought. Bondy and Hudson trade barbs over Michigan’s $21 billion property‑tax burden, the controversial marijuana tax earmarked for road repairs, and what they describe as wasteful agency budgets like MDHHS. Hudson claims he’s faced harassment and threats since the primary, but insists the pressure only proves the state’s “treasonous” drift toward oppression. The conversation pivots to libertarian ideals of limited government, with Bondy echoing the mantra that any mandate is a form of enslavement. Together they paint a picture of a campaign built on anti‑establishment rhetoric, a pledge to slash taxes, and a promise to restore what they see as true freedom for Michigan voters.
