Power Without Accountability | 11-10-26

Who holds powerful people accountable when money, politics, and influence collide?

On this episode of Liberty Roundtable, Sam Bushman welcomes Lance Migliaccio of The Big Mig Show for a discussion about espionage risks, corporate leadership, and the standards expected of people in positions of trust. They question whether wealthy executives and political insiders face the same scrutiny and consequences as ordinary Americans.

The conversation shifts to falling gasoline prices, persistent grocery costs, and their criticism of the Federal Reserve and government economic policy. Sam and Lance also challenge Congress to prioritize meaningful action over leadership contests and political appearances during the lame-duck session.

Later, they discuss concerns about weight-loss medications and obstacles to healthcare reform. Sam closes with commentary on the National Popular Vote Compact, conservative media, and why he believes faith, constitutional limits, and principles should come before party loyalty.

A pointed conversation about public trust, equal treatment under the law, and the gap between political promises and results.

[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. The price of gas starting to drop a day late and a dollar short, but we'll take it. Chinese spies seem to have their way with American males and international rich males, that's for sure.

[00:00:35] The plot never seems to end. We've seen this go on and on and on, and I just don't get it. Lance Miliacho with me, ladies and gentlemen. The Big Mig Show, every day. Check it out. Rumble, YouTube. They're on the radio on the weekends. Check that out as well. Liberty News Radio, thebigmig.com. All right, Lance. So I don't understand this Chinese spy thing. This NVIDIA big CEO, multi-billion dollar company. I'd say trillion dollars companies.

[00:01:06] And this guy, lady, basically said, yeah, I had an affair with a communist Chinese spy. Sorry, shouldn't have done it. I feel horrible. Cheated on my wife. It was really bad. And I don't understand this, Lance. I really don't. You're super rich. I'm sure he's got a good looking wife. He's got everything in the world. How do you get in a relationship with a communist Chinese spy? You don't think when, you know, some good looking Chinese chick and whatever.

[00:01:32] And you don't kind of think she just wants me for my money or she just wants me for maybe trade secrets that I have. Or she just, I mean, you really think this honeypot Chinese girl is really like, hey, I'm going to leave my wife. And we're going to have this wonderful life to get. Or, you know, what is his thinking on? I don't even understand it. Or is he just saying, hey, I just want whatever I want. And I'm going to get it now. I don't even understand how you can be suckered into this really in his situation, really. I really don't.

[00:01:58] Well, you have to think whenever you're a CEO, especially a CEO of a company as important as NVIDIA when it comes to their AI chip development, that you're going to have these kind of operations attempting to get next to you. Listen, I'm newly single. I love hot Chinese women. I mean, there's some incredibly beautiful women in that country. And I want to make this announcement on air to the Chinese government. I have national security secrets. And I have the recipe for the original Coca-Cola.

[00:02:26] So why don't they send some of those hot Chinese girls at me now that I'm single? But listen, I agree with you. Does it lack morality? Does it lack integrity what he did? Absolutely. Listen, I think he has a very loyal wife. He's got three children. I wouldn't have done it. You wouldn't have done it. You wouldn't have done it anymore. You wouldn't have done it. Of course not. Is she going to want half of his $120 or $130 billion that were? All I can say is, think about this, though.

[00:02:51] What would be going through your mind if this hot Chinese chick is just somehow in your orbit and interested in you? Well, if it was me and I was single, I'd probably say yes, because, of course, I don't have any national security secrets. But would I allow the Chinese government to put one next to me? Absolutely, because I don't think I have anything to expose. No, I'm talking about if you're the CEO of NVIDIA. If you're in this situation, yeah. Yeah, you're the CEO of NVIDIA. And you're married. Arguably one of the most important companies right now. In the world. In the world.

[00:03:21] I would not do it. I would literally say no to anybody that came out with me, thinking that they had some kind of a nefarious. But here's what I don't understand. How does that chick even get that close to him? I think the Chinese are very good at honeypot operations. Look at Eric Swalwell. Look at the Chinese driver that Dianne Feinstein had. They do it over and over again. They've had effective results with it. I believe they've got lots of Chinese spies in the country right now that are involved in government. It's one of their most effective tools. Find a hot Chinese girl.

[00:03:50] Find somebody that's weak and unethical and lacks morality or integrity. And, you know, cozy on up. Do some flirting. Are men vulnerable to these kind of operations? Oh, sure. They are. But maybe it's because they put God second in their life. And they've decided that they have that much power. They can do whatever they want. He made a very, very bad decision here. And do I think these operations are constantly running here in the United States? Absolutely. Sure. Absolutely. It's going on.

[00:04:18] And I don't want to think that I'm above these things. I don't want it to come across like, hey, Chinese, challenge me. See if I fall. You know, I'm not into that. I'm just kind of saying it seems to me like you've got a wife. You've got a whole. I mean, you're rich, right? So you've got drivers. You've got people around you. You've got. It seems to me that it would be hard to pardon the pun and pregnant that people around you. Anyway, I'm just saying it just seems kind of strange to me that, you know, this guy rolls in, hangs out with Donald.

[00:04:48] And Donald's like, hey, I think this is a good guy. I think he's trustworthy and you can count on him. I don't even know if he's not trustworthy per se, except for if you cheat on your wife. We can't trust you with anything else, first of all. But the second question is this. Then they're quick to say, hey, this all happened, but we know nothing got leaked. That's the most clown statement I've ever heard in my life, Lance. You know, you don't know what was discussed. That bedroom chatter can make a man vulnerable. You know, I listen at the end of that day.

[00:05:15] If she's in his house, maybe access to his computer. Maybe he didn't even give it away. Maybe she's smart enough and good enough to get it without him even realizing. This clown show where, oh, yeah, he slept with her. It was all crazy. He cheated on his wife. But don't worry. All is safe. Nothing happened. You guys are clowns if you tell me that. Yeah, that doesn't make any sense to me. But, you know, these men, these very ultra wealthy men, they put signals out. And I'm sure that the Chinese government is surveilling the NVIDIA CEO as much as they can every single day,

[00:05:45] looking at what he's working on, looking at the discussions. They're doing everything they can to get ahead of the curve on AI. Sure, and I guarantee she got intel. There is no doubt that when you take a man as powerful as the NVIDIA CEO, and you surveil him, and you know that he's vulnerable, and then you put somebody next to him, guaranteed you're going to get something. Because if they weren't getting anything, the Chinese government wouldn't bother. Right? Right. They're smart enough to not use their resources like this.

[00:06:13] But they just imagine, oh, she slept with him. Everything happened. He cheated on his wife, melted down his whole life. This came an international scandal. But, of course, they got nothing. Yeah. I mean, I'm not buying that for a second. I'm not buying that at all. I'm only half stupid. I'm not buying that at all. Of course, I'm sure the shareholders and the board of directors love what he's done for them. He's made them fabulously wealthy. And at the end of the day, are they going to try to glaze this over in some... Donald's helping.

[00:06:42] Donald's just like, this guy's a good guy. It's all fine. I don't really know what's going on with that. But, hey, you know, and that's just the Donald mode. So here's my question. If this guy's involved with the Chinese spy, if Swalwell's involved with the Chinese spy, they've got both sides of the deal, the government and the private sector in this scenario, then the question becomes, hey, how close does this come to the Epstein scandal? And are the Chinese involved in that, too? Or do they just have their own separate spy ring going on?

[00:07:09] You know, I don't know if we'll ever really know, because, of course, will this Congress do everything they can to go after the Epstein participants? I think it's unlikely, because let's face it. Billionaires carry a lot of weight in this government and every government. It doesn't matter whether it's Republicans or the Democrats. You know, all the money that gets funneled back and forth buys them a lot of immunity and impunity that I don't think is right for the American public.

[00:07:36] Personally, I think NVIDIA should require this individual to resign. Amen. Wax morality and integrity. Is that really the kind of leadership you want in a company that's as important as NVIDIA? Well, and furthermore, if he hasn't been compromised, now that this scandal has come out, can he be compromised going forward? Even if he wasn't, which I don't believe, but even so, going forward with maybe some other information, some other details that have occurred that we don't know. Well, who knows what happened in the bedroom, right?

[00:08:05] Who knows what happened with this Chinese spy? This guy could be a freak. We could find out the NVIDIA CEO likes to, you know, use a fly spot, pink pig mask, and what information she has, and could they use that as a leverage? And that's my point is keeping him is insane. Yeah. But they're going to do it. This is horrible. No harm, no foul on Jeffrey Epstein, and no harm, no foul on the Swalwell deal, and no harm, no foul on the Chinese spy. Because see, the Swalwell thing will be stopped now too, right? Oh, yeah.

[00:08:34] You know, look, we're not going to see any accountability and consequences. This Congress had a chance to clear the slate, to go after the people that were guilty of violations of the Constitution, you know, commitment and the U.S. statutes. But we haven't seen any of that, and Donald Trump is responsible for that particular piece. He had an opportunity to drain the swamp. He had an opportunity to go after government gangsters. What's horrible right now, what I hate,

[00:09:02] is they are back to that cutard garbage online. They're talking about this was all a strategy. Donald's going to take care of business here pretty soon. Just give him a chance. Him and the military are going to take it off. I mean, it's insanity, folks. It's clown show. Don't fall for it. But the good news is prices of gas are down. U.S. gasoline average price drops below $4 a gallon for the first time since July. And $3.98 a gallon, they say.

[00:09:32] Down from $4.56 earlier this year. And so, I mean, you know, that's good news, but it's a day late and a dollar short, Lance. Yeah, but my question to that, and for you and the audience, would be, why is gas down? Nothing's changed. The leadership hasn't switched yet. There's still 60 days before this new leadership starts. There's no justification for gas. Yeah, there is. Everybody feels like they can defy the Donalds. So when they're artificially manipulated at high, now they're going to artificially drop it. And Donald being played again

[00:10:00] because the insiders love the Democrats. They love socialism. They love the international criminal cabal. And they're doing it to basically mock the Donalds. See, as soon as we get you out, just the thought of you having less power drops the price of gasoline, don't you see? Artificial manipulation was the most important thing you just said. And that's exactly my point. How much of what we're seeing at the grocery store and how much of what we're seeing at the pumps was artificially manipulated

[00:10:29] to put this administration in a horrible light and make the Americans... Let's get the break. Lance is just on fire. Let's just do this. Keep going. I mean, the American people are suffering under this prices. Every time I go to the grocery store, I'm watching every single price. I'm looking at the... I never did this before, Sam. I'm looking at the cost per item, the cost per ounce. I mean, I saw oranges the other day at $1.69 each. Are you kidding me? You're a freaking orange?

[00:10:56] You know, so now my big argument is how much of this is a conspiracy? Forget the administration and what they did. Hey, when you've got the Federal Reserve in the mix, sir, and you've got all kinds of price controls and manipulations on things, in other words, you know, farmers can't go straight to you and sell their milk. You can't, you know, do all these things direct. You've got to go through all these, quote, trade groups and everything else. You have a pretend capitalist society. Yes.

[00:11:24] But you've got an absolute socialist, controlled, manipulated, till the cows come home reality. And Donald's been suckered by it. That's why he needs to abolish the IRS and abolish the Federal Reserve. Until he gets that done, dude, it's a clown show and they control everything. Don't fool yourself. 100%. And at the end of the day, that's the problem. Too many people are able to have this kind of impact. And I say people call it the deep state, call it the bankers, whatever it is, but gas should not be going down right now.

[00:11:54] There's still lots of kinetic action in the Middle East. It should be going down if it works the way it's supposed to work. You know, and I'm interested to see what happens at the grocery stores. Now beef is the highest. Oh no, beef's going down, buddy. No, no, no, it's going down. The Democrats are taking over. They're going to look good. Yeah, they're great. They can ratchet up when they want to and ratchet down when they want to. And they play this political game and it's vote fraud is what it really is. And Donald just doesn't realize it. You know, I guess he doesn't because I have to tell you that I would do a full investigation as

[00:12:23] to why gas were down right now, but you know what? The investigations never go anywhere. So what am I even saying? You know, let's do some subpoenas. Let's stomp our feet. Let's get all upset. That's right. And let's do, let's go on TV. The problem with this is see, remember Joe Biden. Hey, there's not going to be as many Snickers in your Snickers bar. That was right before Donald took over. Right? Yeah. I mean, listen, Joe Biden should go down. History is the worst president ever, but really it's Congress. It's the judiciary.

[00:12:53] It's the DOJ. Rules for the, not for me. It's the federal reserve. It's the IRS. And what bothers me is how come Sam Bushman and Lance Miliacho can see this so easily. And we know what has to happen. We know what needs to happen to really put the constitution in the driver's seat again. Right? It's supposed to be the Supreme law of the land. And I would say right now, it isn't even close to that. Here we are. You and I can see it, but this administration, the Republicans, the Democrats, the nonpartisan,

[00:13:23] it's all business as usual. They're not, they can see it too. Here's the deal. Donald doesn't want to die. Right. And so you, you got to cave on enough to stay alive. If you put, not if I'm president, they'll just kill you. If I'm president, you know, you would probably be angry at me because I would put the constitution to the side. And I would go after all my enemies, foreign and domestic viciously. And anybody in Congress that opposed me,

[00:13:52] I would snatch and grab them right out of there. And as much as that doesn't sound appealing, when you have a broken institution and you have the executive branch in so much constructive obstruction, and they keep doing it over and over again, I don't know that you can sit and do what Donald Trump is. Now he wants to compromise and negotiate and deal with. None of that's acceptable. To me. And I don't, don't worry. Don't worry. Congress returns after the midterms.

[00:14:22] Republicans are preparing to choose a new leader. Lawmakers returned yesterday. And so they're going to have a, you know, Tuesday vote. That's the day to go ahead and decide. Should Steve Scalise or Jim Jordan be the minority leader kind of a thing. And I look at this Lance and I go, why are they worried about that right now? Why are they worried about who the new leader is? Worry about who your new leader is when you come in next year. Cause you've got all kinds of time to figure that out. I don't care if you don't even have your leader in place for the next, you know, 60 days or 90 days or whatever.

[00:14:52] Why don't you spend your time doing what you can do to make your mark before you're gone? You've got lame duck opportunities to do what's right for once to say, you know what? We lost our way, but we're going to do what's right. Okay. But right now they're too busy worrying about their next leader. Why would you do that with your lame duck time? Because, because that's what Congress does, right? I mean, they're not going to pay attention to the 700 bills that are sitting there. No dude, slam through the right things and say, look what we accomplished folks. Yeah.

[00:15:20] But who cares who their next leader is? Do you care? No, no, because I just think it's all a sham. It's always about doing the things that the American public doesn't care about and making it look like it's work. It's like having an employee that, you know, puts one of those dongles in their computer that makes it look like their mouse is moving all the time, but yet really they're not doing anything. They're surfing videos on Tik TOK. That's where we're at. We've got a Congress that acts like they're doing one thing. They like to vocalize, but there is no action.

[00:15:49] Actions speak louder than words. I've challenged them to spend the next 50 some odd days, not going on vacation, not wasting the American public's time and doing something. Maybe the Republicans, if they would just do that, they could prove to the American public that they don't suck. And I'm not sure that this is fixable at this point because they don't care about us, Sam, because you know why they have no fear because when you have no consequences and you have no accountability and you have no oversight, let's face it, Sam, I just want one of the magic money computers for us.

[00:16:19] Just give me number 15. They've already got 14 of those magic money computers. Just give me number 15 and I'll go ahead and take care of us. I'll just be like Congress. I'll take care of Sam Bushman. I'll take care of George Balantin and the big, big show, and we'll be fully funded. And to heck with anything else. Why do I care? Here's what I want. If we're not going to have, if our congressional members and our executive branch and our agencies aren't going to follow the statutes, if they not aren't obligated to the same laws that we are, then the heck with it.

[00:16:48] Let's just get rid of the OJ. Just tell me which laws I'm allowed to break. And let's just go wild, wild West. I'm ready. I've got to go back. I'll pick up my guns and I'll take care of myself and my family and the people I care about. If we're going to go, if they don't have to, you know, pay attention to the statutes and follow the rule law, then I don't want to either. I just want equal application of what the rules are. So I can do the same thing. I want to do some insider trading this week. Can I call SEC and say, listen, I noticed you aren't enforcing the SEC laws with congressional members.

[00:17:18] How about not enforcing them on me for the next couple of weeks? Why don't you write me out a presidential pardon so I can just go ahead and take care of business and make sure that it is the past, present and future. See, what I want is for us to become a moral people again. I want us to turn to God almighty and I want us to obey God's laws. And as a result, I will realize the blessings of Liberty. I want us to realize that in our families, God ordained marriage between a man and a woman and ordained children to be in those marriages.

[00:17:46] And the fundamental God ordained family is vital and critical. And the answer to all the problems that we face in society today. And then I want a country that obeys the supreme law of the land. God's law is supreme. Man's law needs to mirror God's law. And in that, which it does, it benefits citizenry, creates freedom or agency, which allows for liberty. You know, those are the things that I want. And I realize it seems like we're so far from that. It's hard for people to talk their way to that.

[00:18:15] But I do believe that's the ultimate answer, folks. It's the answer. And we need to get rid of our vanity, get rid of our, just get rich scheme, get rid of putting ourselves first. We need to put God first. We need to love our neighbors as ourselves. We need to, you know, move towards these things, obey the 10 commandments. And when we do, we're going to be able to return to God ordained proper, all of the limited government. If we don't, you know, all bets are off of how bad it gets. And, you know, the savior is going to return.

[00:18:44] It's only a question of how brutal it's going to be before he does, but we are working on preparing a people to meet Christ when he returns. That's for sure. And by the way, if you're taking the GLP one drugs, the FDA now, or is ordering a warning. It's a rare vision loss. Updated the labels for the medication. Cause people are going blind and having vision problems who are on the, on these weight loss drugs, Lance. Well, here's,

[00:19:14] what's interesting about it. It, it, uh, the reports of vision loss only seem to be linked to Ozempic and Wagovi. So far, the peptides that are coming out of, uh, you know, overseas are coming from China and other places. The GLP ones that are coming out of those locations haven't seemed to cause vision loss. So my question would be, what is in the Wagovi and exempted drugs that isn't in the GLP ones that are coming out of China, as an example. And of course the GLP three to have any reports of this.

[00:19:43] So my last comments before I head out the door would be, I think that's where we need to look. Why is it that the drugs that are coming out of these pharmaceutical companies seem to be causing these issues, but the peptides coming out of Asia currently don't seem to be doing the same thing. And the reason why is because they want you to turn to Asia and trust Asia more, which, which eventually will do you more damage than good. So there you have that. It's all a big old scandal, but at the end of the day, you know, Bobby Kennedy's even turning on the Donald. Did you see that?

[00:20:13] Yeah, I did. Listen, I'm out of time, Sam. I love you, brother. I've got to head over to the other show. Parting shot. Parting shot is I think RFK jr. has been blocked by every possible person in trying to fix our, you know, medical industrial complex. Uh, Cali means has been especially vicious online, exposing them for what they're doing. And so I would pay attention to Cali means he's been on our show. I like them. And I actually trust what he's saying right now. Amen. A hundred percent. Thank you, sir. Hey, thank God bless.

[00:20:43] There he goes. Lance Miliacho doing a great job for the big Meg. Check out the big Meg show on TV. They're on rumbling YouTube and everywhere. And of course they do a show on Liberty news radio on the weekends. Check that out as well. The big Meg brothers, Lance Miliacho, George Ballantine doing a phenomenal job. Thank you. Indeed. And I understand Lance's frustration, folks. I would turn people to God, family and country though. I wouldn't stoop to their level of criminal activity and corruption and crime and you know, et cetera. Yeah, we could get rich doing it, but it isn't the answer. I want to be able to meet my maker at some point.

[00:21:13] Look, God or the savior in the eye and say, you know, I'm far from perfect as you know, I mean, you know me better than I know myself, Lord, but I do want you to know I've done my very best. I've done my best for God and for family and for the country that I can do. And I hope it's enough Lord. And you know, I want to be that guy. I want to be the humble servant that it is very best and praise for grace and does all within my power to do what's right. And Hey,

[00:21:41] let the Lord meet me where I am and, and say, well done now good and faithful servant. That's what I kind of want for me and what we do in this show and everything else, by the way, Democrats gave full control or gain full control. I should say in six States bringing renewed attention, to what they call the national popular vote compact. It's a disaster. They want to get rid of the electric college folks.

[00:22:06] Democrats won the governorship and both legislative chambers in six States, Arizona, Michigan, Minnesota, Nevada, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin. Now, Minnesota already belonged to the compact. So it's, um, I guess 222 electoral votes are at stake.

[00:22:33] They say the agreement takes effect when it reaches two 70. So they're on their way to promote this, uh, in my opinion, sinister unconstitutional agenda. They want to jettison the electric colleges move to the popular vote, moving us more to a democracy folks. Democracies are disaster. Understand that reality check. Would you please? Ron DeSantis doing a phenomenal job. In my opinion, he calls for a conservative media shakeup. After the GOP midterm losses. Wow.

[00:23:03] Days after the Democrats won enough seats to take control of the U S house, U S house of representatives and the Senate, then Ron DeSantis called for a big change in conservative media. And boy, how did, do we need that? Right? I mean, this is serious business. Um, he described parts of the conservative media as a grift and a quote, pay to play scheme.

[00:23:28] He didn't name any outlets or name any commentators or anybody else as being corrupt. But in my opinion, he highlighted it very well. He was speaking at Notre Dame and he said, the movement needs to put much more energy into the grassroots organizing and spend less time focused on the presidency. And boy, do I agree with that council? He's basically saying, Hey man, you know, the close, the, uh,

[00:23:57] big losses are close to an extinction level. He finished. I, you know what? I agree with him. The only way back folks is for the Republicans and the Democrats to get rid of their parties. Parties are destroying the country because the party means more than principle. And that's got to stop Liberty. You dash United, Liberty, the United.com Liberty round table are leading the way to bring back principle over party principle over politics. Yes, indeed. Godly principles, ladies and gentlemen,

[00:24:26] and the constitutional republics of this country can mirror that godly ordained eternal law. And when they do blessings come when they don't, it's a, well, I don't even want to say it. It's just a bad deal. Let's just say that God save our constitutional Republic. public.
