[00:00:04] Broadcasting live from atop the Rocky Mountains, the crossroads of the West. You are listening to the Liberty Roundtable Radio Talk Show.

[00:00:17] What do we expect from the upcoming Apple launch? Hunter Biden spins laptop cryptocurrency strange stuff. We got trials going on. Clickworms going on. And U.S. and China, they're going to get together and have a safety talk. Are you kidding me right now?

[00:00:41] Happy to have you along, my fellow Americans. I'm Sam Bushman. This is interesting tech news the networks refuse to use. And today I've got Lance Miliacho with me. He does a broadcast in the political world called The Big Mig, if you don't know, folks. And The Big Mig is a talk show online. It's radio. It's TV. They're all over the place.

[00:01:04] The Big Mig dot com is where you can learn more about that show. And he's a pretty technical guy in many interesting ways as well. He doesn't make a living in tech, but he happens to be quite technical. Lance, welcome, sir. Hey, good morning, Sam. Happy to be here. You know, excited as always, of course. Love the Liberty Roundtable listeners. So ready to rise and grind, baby. Let's do what we do.

[00:01:26] All right. So there's an upcoming Apple launch tomorrow. It's been celebrated as the September 9th launch this year. It's usually in early September every year. A lot of companies are trying to steal the thunder from Apple. And so we're kind of wondering what we expect from this Apple launch. There's a couple of companies, and I don't even know how to pronounce their names because they're Chinese.

[00:01:55] What are these things? Anyway, Huawei or whatever. They're basically cell companies. And they're not that popular in America unless you want super cheap phones. But these phones are releasing their unfoldables. I'm sorry, their foldable phones right before Apple releases its foldable phone. Now, I think the Android folks kind of beat everybody to the market with their foldable.

[00:02:19] But it's interesting because we used to have, you know, clamshell kind of flip phones that were just, you know, one side was the keyboard. The other side was the screen. Now, these are different than that, obviously, but it's really back to the same concept. What goes around comes around, huh, Lance? Yeah, I'm expecting high prices is what I'm expecting from the Apple release because I'm used to that now with Apple. Of course, I use a Mac computer and I've got an Apple iPhone.

[00:02:46] But, yeah, the foldable phones, I'm ready to go back to the Motorola brick, a big heavy phone. Forget all this tech. We've got everybody distracted. Nobody's paying attention to each other when they go to dinner or otherwise. Let's go back to the brick and let's go back to personal, in-person communication. What do you think, buddy? No, can't do it, man. It's just too important. You've got to have the latest, greatest all the time. So the latest, greatest foldable iPhone, they're expecting to be around $2,500.

[00:03:16] Wow, is that all? I guess you can take out a second mortgage, Sam, and get yourself, you know, for you with your family and all the grandkids, listen, take out a second mortgage and get everybody a portable iPhone. That's right. Kids, grandkids. That's what grandpas do, buddy. All 26 of us could go ahead and just do it. 26 times 2,500. I'm saying, listen. It's all it takes. It's no step for a stepper. What is that? 26 times 2,500.

[00:03:44] Well, every 10 would cost you $25,000. So you're at 50. You're almost 60 grand. It's only like, no, I think it's over 60, isn't it? It's probably 70 grand. Yeah. I mean, listen, no big deal, dude. You know what I mean? Just tell them it's an early Christmas present. Forget it. Don't even tell them it's an early Christmas present. Just get it for them because you're a good man. It's only 65 grand. It's no problem. Wait, and also, don't forget to get for your staff. You can't let the staff down. Oh, good point. All right. And then I need accessories because there's probably a new cord for this thing.

[00:04:13] Listen, get the accessories. I mean, load them up. You can get the iPhone watches to go because there's a new generation, iteration of the watch. So you got to get the watch to go with the new $2,500 flip phone. Maybe that puts you at like what? All right. I'm going to 100 grand. I'm going to cool 100. Big deal, bro. Nothing. Got you. It is just insane. Anyway, this also, this, how do you pronounce this company? It's Highway or H-U-A? Yeah, I think it's Hawaii. Isn't it pronounced Huawei? Hawaii? I don't know.

[00:04:44] It's not Hawaii. It's just Hawaii. Oh, no. All right. Hawaii. Anyway, they are now, I guess, on trial in New York as well while they're releasing their flip phone in America. So it's all things China. They call it a telecommunications giant for the Chinese. And I guess they're experiencing what's called criminal racketeering, trade secret violations, trade secret theft, you know, all this stuff.

[00:05:15] And, of course, they deny the allegations. And I'm kind of thinking, whatever happened with TikTok? You know, do we ever resolve that satisfactorily? No. Or do we just rape their company, steal half of it, and say we own part of it, and now it's all cool. It's all okay. Why don't we just do that to this Chinese company? Just forget about their racketeering and all that kind of stuff. Just say we own part of it, too. We're part of the racketeering. You know, I don't know. I'm still not happy with TikTok. It's supposed to be American-owned.

[00:05:43] They were supposed to clean up a lot of the garbage on there, but I don't see that. I don't know if you do, but I'm uncomfortable with the fact that I feel like they're still grooming our kids. Yeah? Well, that's what they're supposed to do, though, aren't they? I mean, we never decided we were going to stop Jeffrey Epstein, so maybe Jeffrey Epstein's involved. I mean, maybe. Listen, we can't get the Epstein list. No, don't ask. Sam, don't ask about the Epstein list. Come on, man. You're not supposed to bring up Epstein. Yeah, some kind of a Democrat plant or something.

[00:06:12] I mean, no, that's the administration policy. We're not supposed to talk about Epstein. That's old news. Forget about it. Who cares about the trafficking or the victims? Yeah, but what if he's trafficking still? What if he's still alive? What if he's like in L.A. in a rock band by night, trafficker by day? Okay, you want me to go conspiracy theory here? Yeah, let's go. Okay. I don't believe he's dead. I have a friend that does facial recognition for a bunch of countries. He's a government contractor, but he does high-end facial recognition.

[00:06:41] And he took all the Epstein photos of him on the dock. First of all, let's talk about BLP policy. They don't take dead bodies out on the dock in the open. They're zipped up in a body bag. Why? Yeah, because otherwise there could be all kinds of illnesses and stuff like that. They're zipped up in a body bag. The policy is, and I've seen the BLP policy on this, that they take them down to the infirmary. They determine the cause of death. It's got anything to do with a homicide or something from the prison.

[00:07:10] If not, they're zipped up in a body bag. They're zipped up in a body bag. And the mortuary is there. The local morticians called or the local hospital, and they transfer to that because they don't have a full medical facility on site in these places. They don't have hospital. So, and if there is anything else that needs to be invested, they do it. They do not bring them out on the loading dock. Pause to have a cigarette, especially with a high-profile victim. Oh, come on, Lance. And have the face uncovered to take photos. So that's number one. Number two, my friend ran his face through AI.

[00:07:40] He used as many data points as he could possibly get and as many images that were available. And he took original images. And then he took original images of known, actual Jeffrey Epstein. And he had a multi-data point set of comparison. And understand, this is the same AI technology, facial recognition technology that major countries around the world use. Yeah, it's kind of your flock cameras and stuff. Yeah. Okay.

[00:08:06] This is the kind of stuff they use in their diplomatic facilities and all over the world. Yep. And it absolutely confirmed that that was not Jeffrey Epstein on the dock. Well, there you go. So I don't believe it's him. I think he's lounging around somewhere. I think he's got too much dirt on people. I mean, his whole operation was blackmail and compromising people and insider information. I don't think he ever made a legitimate dollar, Sam. I think everything was based on it.

[00:08:33] A tip, taking over a company, hijacking it like he did Victoria's Secret, draining the company much like a hedge fund operator would do. This guy was nefarious. And I don't believe he's dead. Well, and I'll tell you something else. Most people, if they're smart in that kind of underling world, whatever you want to call it, right? They're smart enough to say, hey, if you take me out, I have got auto things that will release.

[00:09:04] So you take me out and things are going to happen that are already set in motion upon my death that you won't be able to control. Aren't people in the underworld that are very savvy and very capable and very if you're going to blackmail everybody under the sun, you better have a plan in case something doesn't go your way. Right. And if it goes completely south, you're going to have a, hey, you guys take me out. I got a life insurance policy, so to speak. And I'm telling you right now that you guys take me out and you don't know what's going to trigger.

[00:09:32] There's going to be so many things that are going to implicate every one of you to where you. Am I crazy or is that reality? No, that is reality and it's standard operating protocol in the intelligence world when you're compromising and blackmailing people. Of course, we know he was directly connected and supplying information to the FBI, to the CIA, to the Mossad.

[00:09:52] All the technology, all the surveillance technology in the New York Brownstone, the West Palm Beach property, the New Mexico property and Lolita Island was Israeli based surveillance technology. So you think you can just take out Epstein and say he committed suicide or whatever, and then you think you can just put Giz Lane in a kind of a prison camp, just hang out low level, have a good time prison, and then no one else will talk or nothing else will happen or no repercussions anywhere.

[00:10:22] How naive do they really think we are? Well, the dead man switch is a standard operating protocol. I would believe in Epstein's position when you're dealing with multi-governments, right, and you're dealing with intelligence. Oh, yeah, blackmail everywhere. I would think a dead man switch is standard protocol. Now, I've heard many stories that Maxwell had drives backed up of all that information. And what I think is curious is that nobody has ever talked about those drives.

[00:10:50] When they went and interviewed Maxwell, we really don't know totally what was discussed. She's never been brought from her prison camp to testify in front of Congress. She seems to know where all the bodies are buried, and yet nobody wants to talk about Maxwell. And no one even seemed to be really wanting to dig on that. I mean, even Massey and others, I don't really hear saying we've got to get Maxwell under oath and stuff.

[00:11:13] You know, listen, when you have somebody, a high-level person that's been taken down in an operation, of course, she's the only trafficker convicted with no victims, right, and no Johns, right? She's the only trafficker that's ever been committed, you know, convicted in history. And then, you know she knows where all the bodies are buried. Why aren't we getting to the bottom of it? I think there's high-level people. I think they've gotten to Donald Trump and the administration. When I say high-level people, I mean people that are very financially well-off,

[00:11:42] that participated in the Epstein debauchery. And I think they've been big funders of the GOP, of the Democrats, and they have influence from behind the scenes. Oh, my gosh. Don't let this come out. Please don't let this come out. You know, who knows? I wouldn't be able to fund you guys anymore. Because we've heard the stories. And, you know, there's smoke, there's fire. Let's just say that only 30% of the stories are true, Sam. Don't those victims deserve accountability? Don't they deserve equity?

[00:12:12] Well, of course. And don't we deserve to find out if this somehow continues when a crime boss gets taken out? Forget the dead man switch and all that kind of stuff. When somebody goes, even if it's a gang leader or a mafia leader or, you know, whatever, a cartel leader, no doubt there's people in line to fill that vacuum. And we're supposed to believe that in the Jeffrey Epstein scenario, nothing filled that vacuum either. I mean, you just took down Jeff and the whole thing is just basically desanged and shut down. It just dead stopped.

[00:12:41] And, you know, can you imagine how valuable that information was? And look at Diddy. Diddy took a page out of the Epstein manual. He was doing it. That thing's gotten quiet, the Diddy case. We know there was all kinds of celebrities involved. We've seen the Lolita Express list. I'm just, I'm tired of it. I'm tired of the lack of transparency. I voted for transparency, accountability, and consequences. And so far, I've gotten egg food young. Amen to that. All right. Hunter Biden's in the news. You know, he was disgraced, disgraced, disgraced.

[00:13:11] But now he's coming back with an interesting vengeance. He's been on many different shows with even some conservatives, strange people to say the least. Oh, what's her name that criticizes Charlie Kirk? Candace Owens. Candace Owens has had him on, I think, and stuff like this. Sean Ryan had him on. Another big show. Yeah. Many people. Hunter Biden spins laptop scandal into cryptocurrency. What do they call this thing?

[00:13:42] Dollar laptop megacoin is now what it's called? It's a meme coin. Okay. There you go. Yeah. He's meme coining, probably pump funding it, trying to get in on the meme coin craze, you know? But, you know, look, is that surprised you? I mean, he's our next president. Wow. Him and AOC? Yeah, I think it's a dual ticket. Maybe him and AOC. He's threatening us with running for president, you know? What do you think? You know, I mean, he's a little older than AOC, but that's all right.

[00:14:11] I mean, listen, he's got what you need. He's got sex, drugs, crimes. I mean, it seems like presidential material to me because that seems to be what we install in our executive branch. Yeah, so far it kind of pales in comparison to his dad, but he's getting there. Well, listen, he knows how to grift. I mean, he's done the grip. He's got Burisma under his belt. I think he's got the experience. He's got the knowledge. He's brought cocaine to the White House. I mean, this is a perfect candidate. I think they should definitely run with him because that's what I want to see.

[00:14:39] I want to see more installed puppets. There you go. Yeah, absolutely. Absolutely. Biden's set, they say, to capitalize on the controversy surrounding his infamous laptop. And so it's a new cryptocurrency that y'all can get in on. So, you know, you thought Bitcoin was the deal? This thing's called what? Dollar laptop? Is that how you call it or did you just say laptop? Laptop. Yeah. Okay, so it's just called laptop. Well, I don't know. He might have used the dollar sign knowing the Bidens. I mean, they love their grift and their cash. That's kind of why I wonder.

[00:15:09] You can't just say laptop without a dollar sign showing how you're getting rich and laughing at everybody else. It's kind of a, you know, a lot of these elites, they love to do this like symbolism in your face stuff. Yeah. And that's why the dollar's got to kind of be there. You know what I'm talking about? Yeah, I do know exactly what you're talking about. I'm covering a story on our regular show day about how that operates and how the media is part of it.

[00:15:31] Now, the interesting thing is that people who have lost money in the, quote, Trump crypto plans are kind of involved in partnering with or funders or I don't know what you call it, investors in this thing. And they say the initial offering on Coinbase, they're going to have, what, a billion tokens with special details to them, special conditions tied to political milestones and upcoming political events and everything else. See, they're doing what you're saying. He's not gearing up for president just yet.

[00:15:59] But they say, hey, while these coins are, you know, notoriously volatile and speculative and everything else, hey, this is unprecedented when it's basically Hunter. Listen, if it's got the Biden name attached to it, empty your 401k, empty your IRA, go laptop meme coin. There you go. Are you getting in on this one? Oh, there's no doubt.

[00:16:24] God, I'm actually auctioning off my dogs later today and I'm going to sell everything in my house because I trust the Bidens to do the right thing. I don't think anybody's going to get rug pulled. I don't think anybody will get butchered on this scheme. I think it's time to go all in on the Bidens because, listen, if they're not going to face accountability, who's to say he won't be the next president? Well, and who's also to say that if he isn't going to have accountability for criminal acts, then he probably has special privilege on the other side of that. Pardon the point or pardon the pun coin, right?

[00:16:54] Listen, absolutely. The only people that face criminal action here from the Department of Justice are the American people. If you're a government employee, and that's probably the mistake I've made in my past. I don't know why I didn't become a government employee. I'm thinking about it now because I can commit insider trading. I can come out with meme coins that are attached to a laptop just full of nonstop criminal activity. You know, I mean, listen, laundering, you know, grift, stealing, scamming.

[00:17:22] I mean, it's all on the table and it's all legal. Run for Congress, Sam. That's what I say. You can go into the office, poor as a church mouse or a bartender. You can just come out, buddy, rock star of the world. Wealthy as all get out and above reproach, my friend. Hey, I've always wanted to go to the Met Gala. Don't you want to go with a free ticket? I mean, I'm thinking about wearing a diaper if I go to the Met Gala as my costume.

[00:17:52] I wear a diaper. I'll tell you what, though. Don't worry. Because U.S. and China are preparing for what they call AI safety talks, Lance. Yeah. American and Chinese experts, they're going to go ahead and meet in September. And they're working on AI safety risks, creating a rare channel for cooperation. They say, now, do you trust a meeting with the Chinese and saying, listen, we want to make sure that AI is fair?

[00:18:21] You know, it's interesting. You know, when it comes to international diplomacy, I've said it before. I've always thought that we've got an incredible moment because, of course, Donald Trump and Putin and even the North Korean leader have a dialogue that almost no president has ever had. But I don't I think you could make headway with those two countries. I think you could make headway with North Korea and Russia. I don't know that it's possible to make headway with China.

[00:18:48] If you've ever read the Red Book of Mao, I don't think it's a possibility. As much as I wish we could put all this, you know, military action down and stop it, I don't think that'll ever stop with China. I don't think it's possible because I think their whole society is based on the Red Book of Mao. And you have to really understand that book to realize. So I don't think it's possible. And it's based on the idea that that will fund their hostile military expansion.

[00:19:16] And whether it be, you know, virtual cyber warfare or whatever else or space warfare or high tech or AI warfare, they don't care what element it relates to. They are mocking us till the cows come home as we fund their agenda. We've also got AI getting into Congress, though. So crypto and AI dominance, says the headline industries propel over one sixth of Congress into power with mega donations.

[00:19:45] They say during the pivotal midterms, 2026, crypto and AI interests emerge as, quote, colossal political influencers. And they say, hey, they're spending millions and millions of dollars. And crypto firms alone contributed a staggering hundred eighty nine million dollars in support of candidates favoring the pro industry stance.

[00:20:15] And they call it market clarity is act or whatever else. This is all, you know, based on some research that Politico did and major organizations like Coinbase. And anyway, they're spending through super PACs and there's individuals involved. But of course, if they fund it through the PACs, they can donate as much as they want. If you're not smart enough to invest in a PAC, then you can only donate a certain amount.

[00:20:42] They just simply want fair legislative environments for their digital worlds. Nearly 90 percent of the supported candidates, Lance, secured, quote, primary victories already based on this money. And they say this will change the American geopolitical canvas like nobody's business. Now, Trump and company have made a lot of their money in this crypto world.

[00:21:07] They're putting 10 million to make sure that Ken Paxton is going to be OK in Texas right now via MAGA Inc. So, you know, changes, buddy. You know, the manipulation of our executive branch. I've said it before. I'll say it again. It's time for the NASCAR jackets. If you get money, I think if you get money and I think there ought to be if I was president, I'd make them do an executive order that when they get ready to make a statement in Congress. Because, you know, we have the speech and debate clause.

[00:21:37] And even as much as you wish that was a good thing, I'm not very fond of the speech and debate clause because it actually allows Congress to lie directly. Why they can say whatever they want to and have no accountability. No accountability, which most people don't know that they think when they're talking in Congress and they've got the big high ceilings and you're in Congress. Oh, that's if they're in Congress, they're telling us the truth. Truthfully, if their lips are moving, they're lying. But I want I want something else. I want just like what the FCC, the FTC require of us.

[00:22:05] If we have a sponsor, we have to make it clear that it's a sponsor for our show. Right. If we're receiving any kind of capitalization or anything in trade or in kind, we have to declare that if we don't declare it, it's crime. I want the same thing. So when they get up there, I want them to say sponsored by Coinbase, Halliburton, Wackenhut, Pfizer. And before that's what they have to do, they have to disclose all their sponsors, which means foundation money, super PAC money, NGO money. So that'll take dark money.

[00:22:32] Yeah, that'll take about that an extra 15, 20 minutes to every one of their time slides because it'll take them that long. And then I think they have to have a jacket and the jacket has to be graded. The larger the patch, the bigger the sponsor. And some of them are going to need trench coats. I think they won't be just NASCAR jackets. They'll need trench coats for the amount of money. It's a disservice to the American public. It's not that I don't expect lobbyists to be involved, but I don't like lobbying. I don't like any of it because I don't think. Well, and the special protection they've given the lobbyists to have to go.

[00:23:01] So it's one thing to say you can go and advocate for your causes. Another thing to say you could do so a special secret privilege. Yeah, I think enough's enough. You know, I'm tired of it. You know, there's more and more discussion online about civil war. A lot of people are saying this government is unfixable. I see it in the chat rooms. I see it in the discussion rooms. I see people saying there is no other choice. It's time to follow what the founders and framers offer us, which is to start from scratch legally.

[00:23:29] But a lot of people are saying this is unfixable because if this administration won't make arrests, won't make transparency accountability on consequences, a primary. Then nobody will. Then nobody will. And speaking of that, before the end of this segment, Trump now proclaims himself. The U.S. president, the greatest. He's an exclusive tier, if you will. And he's created his own new historical ranking he just released on Truth Social.

[00:23:56] And he placed himself, of course, in the highest tier. And he put, you know, George Washington and Abraham Lincoln and those guys there, too. Even put George Bush in a pretty high tier. Trump has lost his mind, folks. He put Kennedy at one of the top lists as well. And so just check out the presidential legacy, a.k.a. Donald. He says he's at the top. If that doesn't tell you the story, I don't know what does. All right.
