[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. Her name is Dolly. They claim it's a coincidence. Where's the beef? What about the war? What about the farmers?
[00:00:28] Happy to have you along my fellow Americans. I'm Sam Bushman with hard-hitting news the networks refuse to use. It is a freedom-loving fantastic. We're taking America back one heart, one mind, one issue at a time. Faith-filled Friday. Welcome to the broadcast. That means Dr. Scott Bradley's in the house and he just had his webinar last night. We'll get into that as well. Welcome to the show, sir. Well, thank you very much, Sam. Hope everyone's doing great today. Looking forward to a weekend, I hope.
[00:00:58] Amen to that. Dolly died, Dr. Bradley, so that's a sad reality. You know, she was one of the last people in the world that actually got along with everybody. Strangely enough, she stayed out of politics and she got along as well-loved by lots and lots of people. And now she's gone. Interesting thing about her is she created a time capsule. And in the time capsule is a song that no one's ever heard of.
[00:01:24] And she says it's a great song and she was going to release it on her 100th birthday, which she never made. So in about 20 years, they expect to open that time capsule and play Dolly's song. It'll make big news then. She also was known for packing heat. She tells a story is on the mainstream press where she had a gun and some guy was trying to make the moves on her. And she's like, I wouldn't do that. And he kept it up and she finally decided to show him her gun.
[00:01:52] He changed his tune after that from what we understand. So even though she stayed out of politics, she was very stand tall on the Second Amendment, if you will. Anyway, kind of an interesting twist. The last tidbit, then your responses to the Dolly thing. There's a hurricane right now and it's out. I guess it's the fourth defined hurricane of the season or something like that. And it's coincidentally named Dolly. They put the names in years ago, so they say it couldn't have been intentional. But there you have it, Dr. Bradley.
[00:02:21] Well, if you believe that, Sam, I got a bridge for sale in Brooklyn for you. But, no, Dolly Parton is a very talented woman. I think she wrote over 3,000 songs, had decades of popularity. You're right, she didn't ever endorse a presidential candidate, but she was politically active. She was extremely an advocate for the jab.
[00:02:48] And she has been very much promoting the trans kind of agenda, if you will. And so I don't say she was completely immune from that. She kind of stayed out of the Republican Democrat thing a bit maybe. But I don't know. You know, this jab thing, she was deleterious.
[00:03:10] That means she was bad news for a lot of people that listen to her because it has been a real, shall we say, not a godsend. And it has not been safe and effective. And it has caused great trials for many people. So, you know, just one other little side note. I don't think we need to belabor the point particularly.
[00:03:29] But as you know, I spend a lot of time in news feeds looking for strings to pull on and putting concepts together because different sources have different agendas and biases and everything. And it's nice to be able to try and correlate and collate. But man alive, the day she died, I mean, the news screens went black except for her.
[00:03:53] And it was kind of frustrating to me because it seemed a little bit like bread and circuses to me because it shut down some of the information that we might be getting in regards to some more momentous things that was far and away above what the death of a very talented entertainer was. And I was a little bit frustrated.
[00:04:18] It was like I was, I don't know what you'd call it, I was maybe in withdrawal symptoms for... Yeah, but some people want to take a little break from politics and the hard news of the day, doctor. Come on now. Well, that was just me. I know. I mean, I'm strange. But the fact of the matter is, I was utterly flabbergasted that every single news feed was overwhelmed with her death.
[00:04:42] And I thought, holy cow, there's, yeah, there's, you know, you can see it in the society pages, the entertainment groups, the media people, stuff like that. But the groups that normally, I think, would consider themselves to be at the forefront of news stuff, every story that led was a Dolly Parton story. Yeah, but you've got to understand if you want to cover up news, that's partly how you do it, doctor. Well, it is. And that was kind of my frustration. I mean, what's going on in the Strait of Hormuz?
[00:05:11] And what is Israel doing in Lebanon right now? And what is Syria doing with their atomic program? And things like that. It's all about the beef, doctor. Say again? It's all about the beef. Yeah. Oh, well, yeah, that's for sure. So there's a lot of topics, no doubt about it. And that's why I did that intentionally to kind of catch Dr. Scott Bradley off, you know, topic here a little bit. Because, you know, last night they had the webinar.
[00:05:41] One of the top topics was about this huge, massive beef import from Donald Trump. And this brings up kind of some questions. We'll get into that in just a second. But this Dolly thing, I get why people are kind of saying, hey, she's kind of an icon. She's been around for 80 years. She was really popular. And for the most part, she did. She stayed out of politics to where, you know, everybody pretty much loved her. And you're right. She had her opinions on certain things. But she didn't take the Republican-Democrat debate. She didn't jump into every political fray on the planet.
[00:06:10] She didn't get people just to hate on her because she, you know, triggered people. You know, for the most part, she was a very likable person and didn't do a lot of that. So I get what you're saying. And, you know, if you stood up against the COVID, it's a destruction of your career. And one of the things that she learned early was, hey, you touch that stuff and it's career death. And, you know, you kind of see that for a lot of people. You know, people either love or hate Taylor Swift. People love or hate Donald Trump. People love or hate.
[00:06:39] And she didn't seem to fall into that trap compared to most, doctor. I think she saw what happened to the Dixie Chicks when they took a position, a political position. It was like, no, that's the third rail. We don't need to touch that. So, but she did use her considerable influence in some areas that I don't think needed another devil's advocate. So, anyway, everybody's mortal.
[00:07:05] Everybody has characteristics and things that people could find warts on, I guess. But, yes, indeed, very talented. 3,000 songs for crying out loud. I mean, that's probably a little more than you've done. Yeah, she stayed out of the frame more than most, too, though. You've got to admit that, too, compared to most, you know, rock stars and big leaders. I mean, even before the Dixie Chicks, she was around for decades before that. And she still, you know, stayed out of the middle of it. And Donald did that quite a bit until he hit the political scene back in 2016, too.
[00:07:35] He kind of stayed separate. Yeah, he had his influence, and, yeah, he pushed his buttons, but everybody seemed to like him on all sides of the aisle. He cameoed in all kinds of different places and everything else. And then the second he decided to go Republican versus Democrat, and the second he decided to jump in the political fray directly as opposed to indirectly, hey, all the gloves come off. Right? So I'm just pointing out an interesting phenomenon in our society that's interesting to watch, doctor. So if you want to go ahead and be liked by everybody, you've got to back off, my friend. Well, and that's true.
[00:08:05] But Trump had some iconic flubs. Let's put it that way. I mean, you think about his Howard Stern interviews and the crudeness of that. That was going out to millions of listeners. I mean, holy cow. I mean, the man was in the gutter. Well, and he was in the gutter. That's how he got his campaign started. He had that old Bush. What was that guy's name? I can't remember his first name, Bush, but, you know, and they had that locker room talk and everything else. And that virtually kicked off the Donald campaign pretty much. Right? Yeah.
[00:08:36] Yeah, he was – there's some character flaws that have manifested themselves, and maybe they're a little different today, but warmongering is one of them nowadays. Well, and importing beef now. I got a question. Why are we importing a bunch of beef in the first place? They say he's going to import a bunch of beef. The goal is to keep beef prices down, et cetera, et cetera. But I see multitude of problems with this, doctor. Oh, absolutely.
[00:09:04] I mean, this is absolutely the wrong move. He's doing it – I understand why he's doing it. He's trying to buy votes with the meat consumer. But he is destroying an agricultural aspect in America that's been an iconic for 150, 200 years almost. I mean, he's – it's really, really an enigma to me that he doesn't see – he's a guy who went to college.
[00:09:34] He's studied economics, and he doesn't seem to understand some of the things. Okay, right now we've got beef prices are high. A lot of reasons for that. Drought conditions, higher fuel prices, higher feed prices. Ranchers have reduced their herd sizes in response to this stuff. Supply and demand says a smaller supply means prices are driven up. Well, there's higher prices to transport to slaughter, to process, to transport to consumers.
[00:10:01] So anyway, yeah, prices are up. And so what he's doing is a 90-day foreign beef import program, no tariffs. He says this is going to be from a first-class country. He won't even identify it. I'm guessing it's Argentina who has had product rejected in China because it's got components in it that are unacceptable to China, which to me is like, huh? I mean, if they're unacceptable there, why aren't they here?
[00:10:28] Anyway, he's got 300,000 metric tons that are going to come into the United States over the next 90 days tariff-free, guaranteeing 25% below market price. Well, and then in February, he had increased Argentina's allowance for beef by 80,000 metric tons. So the ranchers stressed at all of this, and what Trump's doing is deflecting the view from the real causes of the higher price, and a lot of it's related to the war
[00:10:58] and the fuel costs and everything. He's going to buy consumer votes, and he's going to further compound the stress upon the ranchers. See, when the ranchers are faced with this, they're shrinking their hands. And then he's going to bail out the ranchers, too, and give them a stipend so they'll shut up. Well, Sam, all of this is redistribution of wealth. This is a socialist program, and the Constitution doesn't allow him to take truth. That's why I'm saying he'll buy them off so they'll shut up, right?
[00:11:24] He'll give them a big old stipend, steal from the taxpayers, pay it to the farmers so they won't box so bad, right? Well, here's the deal. If the market prices are high, ranchers are saying, hey, I'm going to grow my herd. I can maybe be able to offset some of the, yeah, I'll get some more cattle, and this might even work out for me. But what they're doing is they're driving markets lower. They're depressing the markets to lower prices by this government action.
[00:11:47] It artificially imposes government benefit to government, I mean, excuse me, foreign producers, and so they're less likely to grow their herds. And so they... Yeah, because I'm saying, hey, why would I grow my herd if you're just going to import and compete with me and drive down prices to where I can't make it? And then what you're going to do is give me a subsidy, adding insult to injury, right? Absolutely. And here's another one, the insult even the consumer.
[00:12:12] Back in 2015, Congress repealed the responsibility of labeling the meat for the country of origin. So imported meat's not going to be labeled as such. And so you don't know about hormones in Argentina or wherever he's getting them. I don't know, chemicals, antibiotics. And that specifically is what China rejected the ship. There's an answer to this, doctor. Say again? There's an answer to this. Well, let's hear it.
[00:12:38] Find a buddy that grows or, you know, raises cows and get your meat locally there and just circumvent the whole chain. Well, that's exactly what I've been doing for decades. You know your grower, if you will. And you know, I mean, I just, in fact, oddly enough, here about six weeks ago, because they, you know, when they slaughter, they have to do the dry aging process and everything.
[00:13:03] Anyway, about six weeks ago, I agreed with some ranchers that I know to provide some beef to us. And so I've got some that I know is grass-fed, grass-finished, no antibiotics ever, no hormones ever. I mean, and it's processed in a organic slaughterhouse. I mean, the whole nine yards. But a lot of people didn't do that.
[00:13:28] And it's funny how often this topic has come up, and it might be just the circles I move in. So maybe nobody's even thought about this thing. But it's amazing to me how many people have been talking to me about how egregiously this thing not only is going to affect the farmers and ranchers, but potentially, but, you know, it kind of makes sense. I mean, first of all, the woke globalists are trying to get rid of beef because of the flatulence,
[00:13:57] and they're trying to reduce the size of the population of the people. And so all of this kind of stuff, and who knows what they're putting in the beef? I mean, it might be pretty first-class, finest kind, best there is. But it seems to me like that the appropriate approach would be America first. Did he ever talk about that at all? Oh, imagine that. Can you imagine? But depending on what your goals are, doctor, if your goals are to benefit America, then that's true.
[00:14:26] But if you pretend your goals are something and your goals really are different, then watch what they say. I mean, watch what they do, not what they say, right? 10-4 on that, good buddy. That's really where we are. Meanwhile, we've got a big beef crisis, and I think it's going to get much, much, much worse. And I'm telling you right now, if you don't have a freezer full of it, you're going to be in big trouble because this is only the beginning, in my opinion, doctor. Well, absolutely.
[00:14:54] And having talked to some people I know that ranch, some of them have reduced their herds, and for all the reasons I said. I mean, they can't afford to ranch at the prices that they've been getting. And yeah, they've climbed, and it's going like, okay, well, maybe I can see the light at the end of the tunnel. I'm going to take a little risk and start raising a little more head and going where we're going.
[00:15:20] And this has kind of kicked the stuffings out of them. And this is heralded by many. I mean, oh, man, we've got so many people that think, oh, wow, I don't need a farmer. I get my groceries at a grocery store. And it's like, yeah, yeah, that makes plenty of sense to me. Keep believing that way, folks. And someday you'll be walking up and down grocery store aisles with nothing but processed food from other countries.
[00:15:47] And or you'll have what they call beyond beef, doctor. That's another aspect of this whole thing because they're encouraging a synthetic type meat to be eaten by the people. And what really blows my mind is we don't even know what goes into that stuff. I mean, is it something that comes from growing fetuses? I don't know. I don't know. They put fish in tomatoes now. That's for sure, folks. This is dangerous.
[00:16:17] Trump's doing it. No one seems to be bringing up opposition to it except for a few patriots, the odious patriots such as us. And that's kind of where that ends. Now, Trump, as far as I understand, upgraded some metals for some folks, doctor. Well, yeah, yesterday. No, it was the day before yesterday. It was Wednesday. There was the fifth anniversary of the Abbey Gate bombing at Kabul, Afghanistan.
[00:16:44] 13 service members killed about 170, I think, other innocent souls that were killed by a terrorist suicide type attack. The individuals that got some metals from that had to have their metals downgraded after they'd been applied for. And so they gave some valor metals that involved an upgrade of that. And all of that is absolutely fitting and essential. But I think that there's some—I don't know.
[00:17:14] Maybe I'm cynical. I don't know what it is. But everybody throws the rocks at Biden's administration. It was absolutely, abominably carried out for the extraction of our American troops out of Afghanistan after about 20 years of debauchery there. But the guy that started it all was Trump. Trump was the guy in his first administration that had signed with the Taliban to do some things. We should have never been there in the beginning.
[00:17:39] But at any rate, so we had this incompetent Biden administration carrying out the orders to—it was monumentally horrid. And the withdrawal was just total chaos. There's a very reasonable way to do this, to not leave your people in danger, and to take care of those that have been your allies, and yada, yada, yada.
[00:18:00] But the thing that kind of—I mean, I guess maybe I shouldn't have focused on it as much in my comments, but here we are in the middle of a war at the behest of Israel. We went in like puppy dogs at their feet, and there's a lot of distrust.
[00:18:17] There's—in fact, some of the really—they're not mainstream by any mean—news feeds are talking about there's a real uptick in service members, active duty people, that are putting in to be released from the United States military based upon conscientious objector status. I mean, they joined, some of them, you know, 5, 10, 15 years ago. And they're saying, no, no, no, I didn't sign up for this.
[00:18:46] And so, you know, when you look at the USS Abraham and some of the, you know, grinchy things that have been said about that, and how there's been some discontent within the ranks, and some people that weren't just on ships are saying stuff like that. So anyway, I kind of—again, it's my cynical attitude maybe—I kind of think they needed some heroes. And so—and Hegseth reads these things like it's a dramatic reading.
[00:19:12] I watched his conference on it, and, you know, again, these people, they stood in the gap. They should have been recognized right from the very beginning. But right now, what we've done—I mean, we've got, you know, American lives are lost unnecessarily. Over 700 service members have been maimed, some of them horribly. Hundreds of billions of dollars spent over decades to build the bases in the Middle East has been destroyed.
[00:19:41] We've been puffing ourselves up on our credibility for the last 80 years. We've squandered it needlessly. Our so-called friends are saying, huh? Can they be there? Our exceptionalism vaporized, and we've assassinated senior leadership of foreign state nations. We never did that before. And we were negotiating with them at that time.
[00:20:02] I mean, it puts everybody, every senior leadership person in the nation, in the world, actually, has been really undermined by what we've done. There's no doubt about it. And part of the problem in my mind here is even when there's a good news piece like this where they've been properly, at least to some degree, recognized, and it should have never been demoted or, you know, decreased in the first place,
[00:20:30] but it really brings a broader discussion about, you know, hey, do you support the troops? And what they would say is because you and I are critical of this, that we don't support the troops. And my response to them would be, you know, to really take care of the troops when they get home, not just in word but in actual deed, is one key issue, the way you really know. And the second thing is you don't send them in harm's way unless you absolutely fundamentally have to, and then you follow the supreme law of the land and getting that job done. And that's really the true support for the troops.
[00:21:00] Anything else is a faux argument, doctor? Oh, absolutely. You've hit the nail right on the head, Sam. I mean, the problem is if you support the troops in the way the American Founding Fathers intended, we are not a war mongering. We're not supposed to be a war mongering nation. We have become such. We're on the pointy end of the spirit everywhere. And these people, good people, top-notch people, and I know, I mean, I've associated with them for many decades.
[00:21:27] And they're, you know, they're motivated with the purest of intentions. I know there's a few, you know, that have got itchy trigger fingers and all that kind of stuff. But the point of the matter is that there is an appropriate usage of our United States military. It's not the pointy end of the spear to be the New World Order policeman. And there are people that are, you know, really upset about this. And some of them even consider themselves kind of high-priced mercenaries.
[00:21:57] I could have called them other things that may not be appropriate for a program children may be listening to. But they're being peddled out to countries all around the world, and it's their job to go and die for those countries. And they're saying, no, no, this is, you know, it's an all-volunteer force. You cannot ignore the things that are important to the people that have stepped forward and says, I will serve.
[00:22:25] And so, you know, yeah, there was an honoring, and it should have been. And it should have never had to get to this point where we had to regroup and kind of re-award and everything like that. But the fact of the matter is that many are becoming disillusioned with this current trajectory of the military. I just read an article this morning about the Stars and Stripes newspaper staff has basically been deep-sixed because, oh, man, they mentioned somebody was unhappy on the USS Abraham Lincoln.
[00:22:53] And so the senior management— It does. —and again, they're just like, hey, you know what? I give my life, my limbs, my heart, my mind, my soul, my sanity, my stability, my, you know, mental capabilities all to the military. And for what? What are we getting out of the end of this? And see, people can understand and see that. And then the more we lose people, then the more they're going to push for the draft, doctor. There's no question about that.
[00:23:21] And again, we've talked about this in previous shows. In fact, going back six years, there was a very strong movement in February of 2020 to do a universal draft, men and women, boys and girls. And there's some discussion about, you know, how big the window would be, 18 to 28 or 18 to 35. I mean, there's discussion.
[00:23:43] But the fact is, if your all-volunteer military gets disgruntled because of the abuse that you're heaping on, that you don't even feed them right on the ships, well, somebody's going to say we're going to force them. Sad, but reality, ladies and gentlemen, there's been moves behind the scenes by Congress to actually foment that sinister agenda. I reject conscription and I stand with a volunteer force.
[00:24:12] If we're doing what's right, people will be more than willing to sign up and stand for God, family and country. But when you're on the wrong errand, people start to discover it quickly and the results are devastating. All right, for Dr. Scott Bradley, freedomsrisingsun.com and I'm Sam Bushman. Thanks for listening. Hopefully it's educational and entertaining. And I know you think, well, you guys are quite negative. And my response is this. You know, we've got to really focus on doing what's right.
[00:24:37] America first means we look at the supreme law, the land, the constitution and actually obey it. God save our constitutional republic.
