Join Liberty RoundTable for a thought-provoking discussion on the most pressing issues facing America today. In this episode (Hour 2, 12/8/25), hosts Sam Bushman and Lowell Nelson dive deep into the ongoing debate over the Department of Education’s dismantling, the rise of homeschooling, and the importance of educational freedom. The conversation highlights Ron Paul’s online curriculum, the growth of micro-schools, and the critical role of parents in shaping their children’s education.
The show also tackles controversial topics such as the use of executive power in military actions, the constitutional limits of presidential authority, and the dangers of extra-judicial killings. With an analysis of Judge Andrew Napolitano’s “Murder for Christmas” column, the hosts examine the legal and moral implications of recent U.S. military operations and the erosion of due process.
