The Georgia Hour, episode 112: How a Georgia GOP Dynasty Duped Churchgoers and Politicians

Uncov­er the shock­ing col­lapse of First Lib­er­ty Build­ing & Loan, a Geor­gia-based firm tied to the Frost fam­i­ly, now under state and fed­er­al inves­ti­ga­tion for an alleged $100M Ponzi scheme. Learn how Brant Frost IV, Krista Frost, and their chil­dren manip­u­lat­ed church­go­ers, lever­aged GOP con­nec­tions, and used Chris­t­ian and patri­ot brand­ing to lure investors. With four fam­i­ly mem­bers as GAGOP state com­mit­tee mem­bers, ques­tions swirl about polit­i­cal ties, includ­ing Josh McKoon’s silence, Greg Dolezal’s rumored $2M loss, and endorse­ments from Erick Erick­son and John Fred­er­icks. Explore why the Geor­gia Repub­li­can Par­ty remains qui­et, the poten­tial for a tell-all book, and how this scan­dal could impact 2026 races for gov­er­nor and Sen­ate.

• Why are we talk­ing about the entire fam­i­ly when you talk about First Lib­er­ty Build­ing and Loan, which is under state and fed­er­al inves­ti­ga­tion? They had a hook and a manip­u­la­tion. They were spin­ning a lie. There are peo­ple that have talked to the media that have lost thou­sands that were church goers and their com­pli­ance offi­cer was a pas­tor. The chil­dren were groomed by their moth­er to pro­vide the hook for the dad. Krista Frost, the moth­er, is the dri­ving dic­ta­tor. She gives out the assign­ments. She has trained them on how to work polit­i­cal events. 
• There are four state com­mit­tee mem­bers of the GAGOP with­in the fam­i­ly.. 
• No one has been charged with any crime. And why would we ask any­one to resign? It is silent in repub­li­can cir­cles because they are all try­ing to fig­ure out how much. Every­thing was all lead­ing back to the hook, the trust… the fam­i­ly… the chris­t­ian… Every­one had a role and every­thing they do has a hook back to the office. 
• Why are the GAGOP and repub­li­can cir­cles in GA silent? When the GRA state offi­cer endorse­ment con­ven­tion hap­pened, the frost fam­i­ly was on vaca­tion. The First Lib­er­ty Build­ing and Loan had already col­lapsed. 
• The four state com­mit­tee mem­bers with­in the fam­i­ly also have a lot of dirt on politi­cians. Won­der if there will be a tell all book on day. When BKP was removed, he was removed because of the image of the repub­li­can par­ty. Josh McK­oon has Travis Bow­den to write a let­ter to start the 32 day notice to remove BKP. Kan­diss Tay­lor was the one that sent the first let­ter. At the time that the let­ter was being sent. Brant Frost is using his poll to sur­vey the State com­mit­tee mem­bers. 
• All the Frost fam­i­ly need to go from the GAGOP. 
• Greg Dolezal wants to run for Lt Gov of Geor­gia. A lot of sources say that he lost $2M in the Frost fam­i­ly. Was he part of the hook to take in more mon­ey? Erick Erick­son and John Fred­er­icks said on their shows to go to the Frost’s First Lib­er­ty Build­ing and Loan, how good they were. Remem­ber Brant send­ing out his emails to the del­e­gate lists. Time will tell if there are law­mak­ers in on the deal. Every­thing was pulled back to the office where Dad sat. Why is Frost silent in the GAGOP Inc? Who is in on it? How much does Josh McK­oon know? Why did he resign from the GRA and why was there a mass exo­dus from the GRA? How many politi­cians were involved? How many politi­cians are look­ing at the mon­ey that the Frost fam­i­ly sent them? What was done by the Frost fam­i­ly for them? How many state com­mit­tee mem­bers trust the Frost fam­i­ly and trust­ed their puri­ty of chris­tian­i­ty and repub­li­can patri­o­tism. How many del­e­gates received the emails that trust­ed them with their mon­ey? 
• What do you think about State Rep Tim Flem­ing announc­ing plans to run for Sec­re­tary of State. A repub­li­can law­mak­er with ties to Gov­er­nor Kemp. Gabe Ster­ling is going to run too. 
• Keisha Lance Bot­toms touts $1.1M raised as democ­rats gear for 2026 gov­er­nors race. There are a lot of peo­ple that talk about the 1.1M that she has raised. But don’t pass by Jason Esteves for Gov­er­nor. He is smooth. Jason Esteves for Gov­er­nor out­rais­es the demo­c­rat field, the cam­paign announced over $1.1M raised as Sen­a­tor Esteves gains key endorse­ments across the state with 85% of con­tri­bu­tions com­ing from Geor­gia donors in all 14 con­gres­sion­al dis­tricts. Sen­a­tor Jason Esteves will con­tin­ue to build a strong coali­tion of sup­port cam­paign­ing on Afford­able hous­ing shouldn’t be just a dream. Remem­ber the guy that got the top votes in NYC, Jason is going to cap­i­tal­ize on this. WE talked about the cor­po­ra­tions that own homes across the state. He is tap­ping into some­thing. Don’t for­get Bri­an Kemp in 2018 only beat Stacey Abrams by 50K votes. Now throw some good look­ing peo­ple out there. Peo­ple go out and vote on looks, sad­ly. 
• Why is the AJC doing only a cou­ple of sur­face sto­ries on the First Lib­er­ty build­ing and loan and not a full sto­ry. They are let­ting these politi­cians that they don’t touch cer­tain rails oth­er­wise they get cut out of com­mu­ni­ca­tion in the AJC. 
• Burt Jones announces he is run­ning for gov­er­nor with his Trump aligned plat­form. We already have Chris Carr in the race. Carr is rais­ing mon­ey adding anoth­er $1.25M. There is some­one out there that thinks he can win. MTG has been post­ing a lot of state issues, imme­di­ate­ly Burt Jones comes up with the block to own the state income tax plat­form. MTG is on the side­lines, we don’t know if she is going to run for a state office. Mike Collins is look­ing to run for Sen­ate. 
• Burt Jones wants the red hat and doesn’t want to share it with MTG. If Trump was to endorse Burt Jones, MTG could still wear the red hat. He does not want MTG to get in the race. He doesn’t want to share the 30%. If the GAGOP Inc con­ven­tion was a guide it was large enough to cause a prob­lem. Remem­ber Burt Jones endorsed Josh McK­oon for chair­man. He knows that we are not vot­ing for Chris Carr or Brad Raf­fensperg­er. Burt Jones wants to keep the “hell no” vote, he can get on the tick­et for the gen­er­al. If there is an option Burt Jones has a prob­lem. MTG is a major prob­lem if there is an option with Burt Jones on the tick­et.
