Radio Show Hour 2 – 04/04/2025

[00:00:13] Broadcasting live from atop the Rocky Mountains, the crossroads of the West. You are listening to the Liberty Roundtable Radio Talk Show. All right, back with you live, ladies and gentlemen, Sam Bushman, Dr. Scott Bradley, freedomsrisingsun.com on your radio, two hours of hard-hitting news the network's reviews to use. This is Liberty Roundtable Live for April the 4th in the year of our Lord, 2025.

[00:00:39] It's a Freedom of the Fantastic Faith-Filled Friday. And we're talking about all things constitutional right now, ladies and gentlemen. And Dr. Bradley is such a treasure trove of information. Sometimes I've got to kind of slow him down so us mere mortals can keep up with what he's saying. He's right as rain. He has an incredible understanding of the history of our country. He has an incredible knack for literally, in my mind, like a photographic memory of what the Founding Father said and did and everything else. It's just incredible.

[00:01:08] I love it. But at the same time, sometimes it's hard to follow Dr. Bradley from item to item. He's right on so many points. I've got to just stop him, slow down, and say, okay, this point, you know, right, wrong, how is it? Great. Now let's move on to the next point. How is it? Well, he does this weekly in addition to the Liberty Roundtable Live on his weekly webinars, ladies and gentlemen. There are weekly Q&A webinars every Thursday night, 7 p.m. Mountain. Dr. Scott Bradley over at freedomsrisingsun.com.

[00:01:36] You can go there, sign up, and then you can be on the list, and you'll get an invite to the Q&As. And, man, they are a treasure trove of knowledge and information. People ask questions, put topics before the good doctor, and he just does a constitutional hit it out of the park and then puts it up on Rumble, puts it up on BitChute, where you can watch them any time you like. There's more than 700 videos up now, right, doctor? I think it's in the range of 700. I don't really keep track.

[00:02:04] But we lost 1,500, I think, with the YouTube. Yeah, thanks to the free speech zealots, right? Yeah, all those guys that want to, you know, encourage the First Amendment thing, which is really what the First Amendment was about, was exposing things that would impact our liberty. You know, free speech and stuff has nothing whatsoever to do with pornography or, you know, some kind of lewd whatever. Yeah, any perversion they want to use the free speech idea or free association when it comes to moral, reasonable, appropriate causes.

[00:02:34] An example of that, really quick, is we have the right to peacefully assemble. It never said we have the right to riot or even protest. Okay, those words escalate the discussion from a peaceful assembly to a private property violation, you know, harming individuals, everything the whole government's present or, you know, created to prevent, right?

[00:02:57] Right, and the fact of the matter is, well, I've got a presentation scheduled for next Friday that I'll be presenting some of those things like speech and press and assembly and being able to talk about what the First Amendment, Founding Fathers' perspective was on that. It's a couple hours of review on that stuff. So, I mean, this stuff, you know, we kind of try and dive in at great length.

[00:03:24] I give, as people probably have, you know, come to understand at this point, kind of long-form answers to things. And getting back to the webinar that we did last night, I mean, I have to kind of really contain myself to keep answers under 15 minutes because BitChute will not let us post anything over 15 minutes. But some of my... Yeah, the modern world and modern society says, hey, if you can't encapsulize it in a couple of minutes, buddy, you've lost your audience almost.

[00:03:54] And that's part of the problem that we deal with and we've got to wrestle with today. And that's kind of why I slow you down and say, hey, take topic A. Is this right or wrong or good or bad? Just so people can get clarity on it. And then, hey, they can do the back-end study and learn more. But we get... So I've started to do short videos that augment the long-form talk show for this very reason. Well, that's part of the... A huge part of the problem. It's a problem. Agreed. Our attention span is just negligible. And it's interesting to me. My master's degree is in public administration.

[00:04:22] And I had one professor that had us read four Federalist papers during that term. And it's like there's 85 of them. And they are, in my opinion, short-form answers. I mean, there's so many wonderful things. I mean, there's 85 essays and we had to read four of them for a public administration master's program. I mean, it's... And he's the only professor. That's why I say the American people are just not caught up or educated on these things.

[00:04:53] They've intentionally indoctrinated people away from everything Founding Father-esque, everything constitutional, everything that relates to biblical principles of separations of power, the idea that we don't seek for power, we seek to pull it down, the danger, power, and consolidation of power can be that the Founding Fathers understood. I mean, I can keep going. But these fundamental principles have been abandoned and we replaced that knowledge with literal propaganda.

[00:05:16] And so, you know, some educators that are wise teach you've got to unlearn the propaganda before you can even learn, doctor. Well, if you're not a lifelong learner, you are really, really being dumbed down every moment of your existence. And to be able to do a deep dive analysis on some of the stuff that's going on, it's a tragic travesty and it's brought us to where we are right now. And I get smarter every single day.

[00:05:43] The problem is every day I get smarter, I realize there's less I actually know, you know. Yeah, a lot of times you get a bigger perspective by that. Your window of understanding tells you how much more there is to understand if you put the effort in, you know. Hey, I get one answer and I got 46 more questions. That's great. That's how it is. But the learning continues, doctor. So what were the big, you know, what was on the minds of the American people last night? Well, we've talked about some of the stuff.

[00:06:11] The tariff issue was a big, big, big issue. I got multiple questions on that. I got multiple questions on the economy. But for the sake of not going into a long-form answer on all these things, one of the questions that came up was, and this is specifically what it said, will Doge continue without Elon Musk? And, you know, it's an interesting phenomenon to think.

[00:06:37] I mean, Trump said that this Doge effort with Musk and Ramaswamy was going to go on. And I don't know whatever happened to Vivek, but it was going to go on until July 2026. Well, Vivek bowed out because I think he disagreed with Musk on some things and he wanted to run for governor of Ohio. So there you go for Vivek. Well, there's complicating matters.

[00:06:56] But the Doge thing was, you know, slated with the initial announcement to go to July 4th, 2026, so the 250th anniversary of the signing of the declaration. And, you know, this temporary employee thing that Musk is on right now is supposed to run for a maximum of 130 days. And Trump has made some overtures about it's going to, you know, it'll end and it'll end.

[00:07:26] Surely everything, it will end. Musk has other interests than just out dinking around with everything that's wrong in the government. And so it will end, but it's shorter than what we originally anticipated. And you think Musk's, excuse me, Trump's first 100 days are approaching fairly quickly. And Musk can only go, according to the law that is currently written, to 130 days.

[00:07:54] And then, you know, his number's up. And so the concept is, is Doge going to continue? Is somebody else going to pick up the baton and carry that in front of the parade and all that kind of stuff? And again, I think that Musk, personally, my opinion is I think Musk kind of likes the attention, the turmoil.

[00:08:19] I think Trump and him play off each other pretty good for their own motivation and so on. But, but that's a, it's a valid question. If we have that 130 day endpoint of, of a temporary employee, well, Trump saying, well, yeah, but I'm going to run for the third term and we'll talk about that.

[00:08:41] And by the way, they are, there's, there's been a resolution put forth in Congress that would change that so that you could have a third term. And we could talk about that at some point too. Yeah. So the answer, what's the answer to the question, doctor? Well, the question, I think that the Doge effort will continue. I just don't think it will have as nearly high a profile.

[00:09:06] I mean, here we have the richest guy in the world that's taken a time out from his multi-billion dollar world and life. And, and he's, he's been kind of that bold lightning rod. And people need to realize he's not even being paid for it, right? Well, that's correct. And, and the fact is he's, he's donating his time, if you will. Now, some people think there's ulterior motives. There's a lot of discussion about how he's, you know, going to use technology to enslave the world.

[00:09:33] I mean, you know, there are all those kinds of, you know, conspiracy concerns. That's why I break it down into right and wrong and simple issues. So is it right that he spends his time to volunteer for his country? Absolutely. Yeah. Is it right that he wants to go ahead and decrease expenditure in government? Absolutely. Is it right that he's tracing these things to make sure that we don't have all kinds of waste and fraud? Absolutely. Now taking on the world and see, that's why I don't like to mix topics. Okay.

[00:10:01] Elon Musk is doing right by us in all those things, right? Correct. And the, the, the, I think behind the scenes, I think Musk is very frustrated. He's a guy, he's a CEO and says, jump in his people say, how high on the way up? I mean, and they've, they're on their way to Mars is according to the way they're telling it. But, but what's happening with Congress has got to be just burdensome. He's got to be telling Trump behind the scenes, Hey, Hey man, you know, what are these turkeys doing? They've got to respond to this thing.

[00:10:31] It's all these clouds are undermining you at every turn. That's what I'd be telling the president if I had his ear. So, so he may end up having to go at the 130 day mark. Will somebody continue? I think so. I don't think they'll have a gravitas and the, the, the status and everything else like that, that, that Musk brings to the table. But I hope somebody is, is put into that slot and who it would be. I, I can't even begin to predict. I've got some ideas. How about Scott Bradley?

[00:10:58] This is a battle, a battle between truth and deceit, a battle between forces that would enslave this country in darkness and between a media that wants to present you with the truth. We are being censored. America's news outlets no longer provide the truth. 90% of news outlets in the United States are controlled by six corporations.

[00:12:01] As the United States boldly stepped forward in the glorious light provided by its new constitution in 1787, the nations of the earth were in awe of the newfound strength and hope of this free land. Today, the nation stands at a crossroads. A divergence from the original intent put forth in the United States Constitution has brought grave threats to our beloved nation. A miracle is needed if the United States is to survive. That miracle is again the pure application of the United States Constitution.

[00:12:31] I'm Scott Bradley. In my To Preserve the Nation book and lecture series, I bring forth truths that will help raise up a new generation of statesmen like those noble Americans who founded this land. Vigorous application of these principles will invigorate and restore the nation, and we may become again the freest, most prosperous, most respected, and happiest nation on earth. Visit topreservethenation.com to begin that restoration.

[00:13:11] All right, back with you live, ladies and gentlemen. Man, some of the commentary on the breaks are just great. You're missing out, people. We were talking about Doge, and if Doge rolled in to audit the Loving Liberty Radio Network and Liberty News Radio Networks, they'd be like, how are you guys even operating? And Jay's like, yeah, they'd probably pass around the plate for donations. Oh, Dr. Bradley, it's a frustrating thing. I agree 100%. But you know what? We need to have positive attitudes as we work on this.

[00:13:41] And that's why in my mind, I'm basically an educator. And my goal on the radio is to help people understand what's going on to the best of my ability, help people look towards God, family, and country for solutions, understanding that protecting life, liberty, and property is really the primary goal and most important responsibility for government. In fact, without those fundamentals of life, liberty, and property, I don't know that government has any value at all if they can't do those things for me. But will Doge continue without Elon Musk? I say yes.

[00:14:09] Doge existed before under a different name. Barack Obama created it. And so, yes, it'll exist. Will it do as much good? Time will tell, doctor. Well, absolutely. And like I say, you need somebody with a presence there, someone that people are saying, hey, what's Musk doing today? I mean, he brought to it, I mean, hundreds of billions of dollars of his own, you know, fortune. And people, you know. And all the people do is abuse him for it. It's amazing. Right.

[00:14:39] But the problem is it's like this effort that many of these attorney generals in the different states that are suing against election integrity. Well, they're doing the right thing for the wrong reasons.

[00:14:54] I mean, we have a – if you had – I always said economics was never one of my favorite subjects in my school work because if you got 15 economists in the same room and they were discussing a specific topic, you'd have 35 different opinions. I mean, these guys don't even have opinions. And none of them would be based on facts. Right. I mean, they got the Keynesian guys, you know. Anyway.

[00:15:24] So I just – oftentimes everybody has an opinion. It's kind of like everybody has a nose. But a lot of times you just get noise when you're getting opinions. And I think that Trump, he kind of pulled a coup almost. I mean, people are trying to pull a coup against him all the time.

[00:15:43] But, I mean, it was kind of in that realm of, I mean, a big thing that happened when he pulled Musk in to do the Doge thing because really everybody – you know, when Musk talks, people listen. They may want to argue, but they hear his story, you know. And I watched an extended news conference he did the other day that, you know, he's not real articulate.

[00:16:13] He kind of, in a way, is not just – Who, Musk? Musk. Yeah, he's not articulate. Yeah, you're right. No, he's not. He's very intelligent, but his speaking is not his strong suit. That's for sure. And it's maybe not even his first language. I mean, maybe he spoke Afrikaans for much of his childhood. I don't know. But the point of the matter is that he does – I mean, I'm not going to say struggle, but to communicate an idea takes a little bit around the horn sometimes.

[00:16:42] But he does communicate it, and he comes to some pretty valid conclusions based upon his analysis. And so I think Trump really kind of pulled a coup by bringing him in. It got a big splash. A lot of people started doing their thing. And there's been some real valid findings, but Congress is – we keep coming back to that. The Congress is the weak sister in this whole program right now.

[00:17:09] And Trump is overstepping his bounds by taking action that violates the Constitution. And he's doing it all by these executive orders. And as Musk pointed out, you live by the executive order, you die by it. The next guy that comes along is going to unseat that, and it's got to be – Yeah, it's like a three in basketball, you know? Hey, when it's on, it's great. When it's off, it's horrible. And that's the problem is that the other guys are going to be shooting three-pointers, and they're going to be on when it's their turn.

[00:17:39] And the problem is each president seems to take more and more and more authority in this process, in this pendulum where we swing back and forth. Each president seems to go further. And in my opinion, if Congress doesn't rein it in, they're going to lose complete control. Congress keeps wanting to do it, though. I mean – I agree. Who created Health and Human Services? Who created the Department of Education? Congress, Congress, yeah. It's all flawed, and it violates the Constitution.

[00:18:06] And both the executive and the legislative want to sometimes say, oh, well, the judicial will figure this one out. Or, see, they just don't want to take responsibility. Now, Congress should send a resolution to the president right now in the elections and say you don't have authority to do it. We don't need to go to the courts. Quit wasting their time. Move along. Stop.

[00:18:56] Stop. Constitution and or listening to the founding fathers. But the courts need to know they can be reined in. And Article 1, Section 8, Clause 9. If we impeached a couple of them and then Congress asserted themselves, that would change on a dime. Congress has control of the tribunals inferior to the Supreme Court. Article 1, Section 8, Clause 9. And then you look at Article 3, Section 1. And you say, oh, yeah, they create these inferior tribunals.

[00:19:23] And then you look at the good behavior thing that's in the courts. And they could be impeached and removed. And then you look at Article 3, Section 2, Clause 2 at the end. And Congress can make exceptions to the authorities of the federal courts if they're not specifically delegated in Article 3, Section 2, and the first half of Section 2, Clause 1, and the first half of Section 2, Clause 2. These things can be controlled and contained.

[00:19:54] And if you don't stand up and exercise your constitutional authority, draw a little bit of backbone. And again, they're cowardly doing it. They say, oh, let's give it to the BATF to decide. Let's give it to the IRS to decide. No! Congress has all the authority. They all signed on to back this belligerent continuing resolution spending as usual. We're spending more this year than we did last year to date so far already to prove the point. They kicked that can down the road.

[00:20:23] They increased the debt ceiling. What was it? $4 trillion or some odd number? Yeah. And you look at all that and you go, the only person to stand up against it was Thomas Massey. Right. Republican House rep from Kentucky. And here's the deal. Trump literally threatened to remove him from office over it. Well, he wants to primary him because he's out of his favor now because Trump didn't. I mean, Massey didn't want one big, beautiful bill. Massey was right.

[00:20:52] He was right. And he is right. But Trump now is throwing a little tantrum saying, look, I got all the authority. I'm going to get somebody in there to primary him. And other people will obviously unequivocally fund that. By the way, Trump lost a big thing that Musk spent a lot of time in Wisconsin trying to make. Yeah, Musk put a bunch of money on it too, by the way. And they lost the Supreme Court race.

[00:21:18] So so Wisconsin literally is probably going to gerrymander their congressional districts coming up to to take away a couple of seats from from the Republicans. So here's the deal. The Democrats in Wisconsin are basically saying, look, Trump's done a lot of damage and Congress hasn't done their part. And so without clear understanding of what we're doing and why. And that's what we've got to articulate on the radio. I think people are deceived.

[00:21:50] Well, obviously, I mean, you can with enough smoke and mirrors, you can't even tell which way the path goes. And that's right. People don't know the path was well defined. And you can find the path with a map that will take you back to the original points that you're supposed to be on. If you'll take a little bit of time and think about it, it's a fairly simple, straightforward. The Constitution is a little pamphlet.

[00:22:14] I mean, you know, your pocket pamphlets like including the declarations only something like 52 pages for crying out loud. The original Constitution was only four pages. But what we have is that they say the annotated Constitution as set forth by the courts and by the legislative action. It's almost 3,000 pages long now because they've modified it by court decree and legislative enactment. And that violates most of the annotated.

[00:22:43] They go against the founding fathers' intentions if you study the difference between the two as well. And questionably. And it violates Article 5 because the only way you can change the Constitution is the way defined within Article 5. And they've been changing it by court decree and by legislative enactment. Constitutions are paramount to any of those other things. I mean, that means superior to takes precedent over.

[00:23:06] And so consequently, the people, the attorneys mostly, and there's a lot of attorneys that hold legislative office that have undue respect for the judicial branch because they got their training in being an attorney. And so they defer constantly to the judiciary that has no authority. It's the weakest branch.

[00:23:29] They were supposed to be, tentatively speaking, in for life, good behavior, as Article 3 says, because they had so little power you could leave them there forever. The House has all the power, basically, to bring forth funding bills, and they have the voice of the people. So they got two years for their term. I mean, the power ratio is inversely proportional to the length of time they're in office.

[00:23:56] And that was the original intent, and we don't even understand that in the slightest degree now. All I know is this. Johnson, Mike Johnson, Speaker of the House, said this. We only control one half of one third of the federal government. This just shows how ignorant his points are. Yes, it's true, his factual point.

[00:24:21] But it's not true because when you add who holds all the purse strings, that changes the game. Not only who holds all the purse strings, who's closest to the people and whose numbers are the largest. There's only one president. There's only nine Supreme Court justices. There's only 100 senators. But there's 435 House reps that answer to us every two years. Let's make them pay if they don't stand for freedom, shall we?

I'm Rich Thomason. Anxious times. If you're a stockholder, Wall Street continues to sink following yesterday's major sell-off. But the economic news, not all doom and gloom this morning.

[00:25:14] The Labor Department's latest jobs report is in. U.S. employers added 228,000 jobs last month. The hiring numbers were up from 117,000 in February and nearly double the expected number of 130,000 for March. Workers' average hourly earnings were up three-tenths of a percent from February, about what economists had expected. Year over year, hourly pay is up 3.8%. The unemployment rate last month ticked up to 4.2%. George Williams reporting.

[00:25:43] And speaking of jobs, a staff shakeup involving intelligence and national security employees. White House correspondent Greg Clugston. The Trump administration fired the top two officials at the National Security Agency, including the director who also headed the Pentagon's U.S. Cyber Command. And President Trump acknowledged the firing of several White House National Security Council officials. The shakeup came a day after far-right activist Laura Loomer met with the president to discuss staff loyalty.

[00:26:12] He said Loomer sometimes offers advice, but claimed she had nothing to do with the recent firings. Greg Clugston, Washington. Poor bad weather in the forecast for a wide swath of the south, the Midwest, parts of the east. Earlier this week, storms killed five people in Tennessee, one each in Indiana and Missouri. The tragedy in Bucks County, Pennsylvania. Three members of a family struck and killed by an Amtrak train last evening. South Korea will be holding a presidential election within two months.

[00:28:00] Why don't we say to the government writ large that they have to spend a little bit less? Anybody ever had less money this year than you had last? Anybody ever having a 1% pay cut? You deal with it. That's what government needs, a 1% pay cut. If you take a 1% pay cut across the board, you have more than enough money to actually pay for the disaster relief.

[00:30:23] All right, we're discussing the incredible Thursday night weekly webinars from the good doctor, Dr. Scott Bradley, over at freedomsrisingsun.com. Go there, sign up. You can get the weekly webinar invites, Q&As on the Constitution, and more. And then you can watch them later on Rumble and on BitChute. Check those out. So freedomsrisingsun.com, look for Freedom's Call, and you can kind of understand what's going on. But Dr. Bradley breaks down all kind of constitutional questions. And the discussions, I guess, in what was it, Wisconsin? Is that where it was?

[00:30:54] Yeah, Wisconsin had a big debate about what happened there, right? Well, sure. And Musk went out and gave up a couple million dollars away as kind of a teaser to get people interested in participating. And it was to get people to vote in the Supreme Court election that was held in Wisconsin. Of course, that's how they select their Supreme Court justices is by vote. And what happened was the Democrats won.

[00:31:22] So there's a majority of won now for the Democrats. And what they will do is the expectation anyway at this point is that they're going to gerrymander. What they're going to do is reshape the congressional districts in Wisconsin that will put a favorable spin on Democrats winning a couple more seats there,

[00:31:45] which will really erode the Republican majority ultimately and finally in the National Congress, the National House of Representatives. So this was a big deal. And Musk went there and did a kind of, I mean, he was a long time in front of the audience and exchanging with the audience on a lot of different things. And it was quite fascinating to watch. But the Democrats won in spite of it all.

[00:32:08] Now, of course, offsetting that right now is the Republicans won the two special elections in Florida to replace the people that Trump took out. And here's what the mainstream press highlighted when the Democrats won big time. They didn't mention too much about the wins in Florida, did they? And that just shows you how manipulated the press is about this, right? There's a big spin on everything. And that's why I get my news sources from all across the world. Honestly, I've said this before on your program and with some exceptions.

[00:32:37] I think there's greater freedom of the press in other countries largely than where we have in America. I agree. I think that used to be the case more than recently, but for sure it's true. And it's getting a little bit better with some of the news services now. But for the longest time, that was the only place to get reliable news, in fact.

[00:32:59] Well, and Trump seems to be thumbing his noses at some of the traditional, what shall we call the royalty that, you know, the APs of the world and the CNNs and the, I mean, all these ones that think they have a, you know, the lock on the information stream.

[00:33:19] And Trump's kind of changing the way the White House press corps gets handled and opening it up to, you know, the nontraditional kinds of media sources. So that's good. And I'd like to see more of that. But then we get some of these guys that are multi-bazillionaires that end up buying. I mean, what were we reading about what TikTok is maybe up for grabs? Yeah, we're going to get into TikTok in a second. Let's get into that really quick before we do, though.

[00:33:48] I just want to tell people what news sources I peruse every day. Believe it or not, I read a couple of sections of the Washington Post, of the New York Times. I watch the Gateway Pundit. I watch Drudge Report. I watch the Blaze. I watch the Epoch Times. I watch the Western Journal. I watch Utah News Sports Channel, The Daily Wire, Natural News, Need to Know News.

[00:34:18] Good News Network. Latest News UPI. World Net Daily or WND News. The New American. Iron County News. RT Daily News, which is Russia Today. Tech Crunch. Wired. Network Providers. Newsmax. Liberty Sentinel. Computer Weekly. Talkers Magazine. American Liberty News. News News. Resist the Mainstream. Town Hall News.

[00:34:49] Utah Standard News. Slingshot News. OAN Newsroom. My Patriots Network. Your News. Your News. NPI Tech Guys. Citizens Free Press. And those are just a few of the news services I watch on a consistent basis, Doctor. You've got to get a life, Sam. What's wrong with you, boy? I've got eight kids and nine grandchildren, and I've got a life, buddy.

[00:35:19] I spend a lot of time on family. I love it. That's good. And I'm just teasing you a little bit, but here's the deal. But I watch a lot of news people for reals. A lot of the sources that you mentioned, of course, are things that I find very interesting. I would add some others that are contradictory to what our normal... And that's why I said that I read the New York Post and Washington, you know, the New York Times and some of these other people for that very reason. But go ahead. Well, that's the point.

[00:35:48] I mean, you've got to have the contrarian viewpoint. And if you just hear an echo chamber all day long and, oh, everybody believes this way. See, I think there's a lot of people that follow, you know, CNN and MSNBC and stuff like that. I think everybody believes this way. You know, USA Today, all that kind of stuff. And they live in an echo chamber. They don't realize that there's other perspectives out there.

[00:36:14] And I always tell people that if you read the New York Times, the Washington Post, the L.A. Times, the USA Today, the Salt Lake Tribune, and Deseret News, those six news sources, you've really read one news source. Because they are an echo chamber of everything that, I mean, you know, yeah, Deseret News and the Tribune have a little bit of, you know, fluff and stuff that goes with local events and stuff like that.

[00:36:44] But honestly, so many of the cable news networks are so completely biased in one perspective. Now, almost all of them are biased in one perspective or another. I mean, you look at World Net Daily, and I can predict on certain topics exactly where they're going to be without even having read the article. That's right.

[00:37:23] And that's why I have Russia Today and some of those news sources in it. I use Citizens Free Press, and I use your news because, believe it or not, they're not just news sources with a specific agenda. They're news sources where you can actually be part of it and post to them. So I don't know if you know, but I write articles for your news sometimes from my videos and things like that.

[00:37:47] And so a lot of these sources that I'm talking about, WorldNet, WND.com and the Gateway Pundit and the Blaze, they have all kinds of writers. And I don't even know all the time that the writers agree with who's running the news service. It's one of the things about Liberty News Radio that's so important to understand. I have people on that I disagree with, doctor. Well, and I understand that, and I appreciate that. And it's not because I agree. It's because they have their rights to their thoughts, and the American people can learn and decide, right?

[00:38:17] Right. And the old thing that Fox News used to say, re-report, you decide, or whatever their slogan used to be. Was bogus. Fox News really became an advocate for the lame-brain traditional media in so many ways, and they've got rid of some of the people that had contrarian views to that. But so I guess what I'm saying is don't feel overwhelmed.

[00:38:45] You know, you don't have to read every source that Sam just listed. Well, if you listen to Liberty Roundtable, you're going to basically take all those sources, plus a few more that I haven't talked about, and then you're going to basically add to that my knowledge and my interpretations of the stories, because that's, you know, I'm the host of Liberty Roundtable. That would make sense. And you have opinions, too. We broaden it to all the different people on the radio with us, Dr. Bradley and many others, who have opinions, and we don't perfectly agree sometimes either.

[00:39:13] For example, Dr. Bradley says, hey, I'm against the tip tax or the tip tax break, whatever. I fundamentally agree with him, but I'm going to say this. Any penny in the hands of the American people, not in the hands of government, is better than the other way. By the way, Sam, and I have to concur that if we can speak in favor of tax reduction, great. But when we set up, and I'll just give an example out of Utah,

[00:39:40] that's something I testified against in a Utah legislature here some time ago. There was a bill before the Utah legislature that would have made military retirements untaxed in Utah. Cool thing. Now, I served. I didn't retire. So I didn't have the skin in the game for the fact that I could have got a, you know, kind of lived here tax-free for Utah tax,

[00:40:05] which doesn't exempt you from federal tax or excise tax or gasoline tax or property tax, you know, all that kind of stuff. But I testified against it because here we're creating classes. You have a cadre of military. This is a military class that gets a special benefit. And the founding fathers definitely did not want to have a military class that some reason got put on a pedestal. And we're doing it, by the way, in America now.

[00:40:33] And the past of the matter is we defeated that bill because they said let's give everybody a tax deduction. Amen to that. I agree with everybody. I get it. I don't disagree. But if I had a dollar in the hands of a vet or a dollar in the hands of the government, which would I pick? See how complicated these things are? I agree with Dr. Bradley, and I'd probably vote no, too. I'm just telling you I understand the other side of it. Hey, let's skip the break, shall we? All right. We skipped it. That's good news.

[00:41:00] There's so much going on, doctor, and I want to get to this before the end of the hour because it is a really critical issue. Amazon makes last-minute bid for TikTok. Now, I find this fascinating because you've got Facebook and Instagram and that whole plethora of whatever. You've got the Google scenario. You've got YouTube mixed with that. You've got X. And then you've got Donald Trump with his Truth Social.

[00:41:28] And then you've got Vivek Ramaswamy that invested in – oh, what are those? What's that group? I can't remember the name of it. Anyway, he invested in those guys. And so all big business are wanting a piece of the media. But Amazon makes last-minute bid for TikTok. Without a sale, the ban could take place this Saturday. Donald delayed it once. Newser.com with the piece. By the way, that's another site I watch, Newser.com.

[00:41:56] Anyway, and basically they're saying, hey, this is a big problem because Trump's either going to have to extend it or somebody's going to buy it. And my response to this is I don't even know how we let government in the middle of this private company's business in the first place, doctor. Well, absolutely.

[00:42:16] I mean, this intervention was a knee-jerk reaction to everybody saying, oh, these blasted communist Chinese guys are getting our kids' minds with this entertainment network they've got, whatever it is. I don't even know how this stuff works. But it's a direct intervention. If they can intervene for that, why not say, well, let's get rid of this Liberty Roundtail nonsense.

[00:42:42] These guys are always out there preaching against bigger government and more intrusive. Yeah, they're worse than the communists for heck's sakes. They actually believe in free trade and fair trade and the founding fathers. These people are disaster. And boom. Well, that's the problem is if they can do it for this, why can't they do it for that? And if you stop and think about it, these are all encroachments on individual God-given rights.

[00:43:09] And if you look at the First Amendment and the free speech and all that kind of stuff that, you know, the freedom of the press and assembly and, you know, all of these things get in the way of how the government wants to control things. And right now, today, the discussions of anti-Semitism and speech and all that kind of stuff is live. We are saying you can't talk against the Israeli government, for example.

[00:43:39] See, they're trying to equate that to anti-Semitism. If the modern state of Israel, which is a secular humanist socialist state that lacks complete godliness, it's not some kind of extension of Jehovah or anything like that. It is a secular humanist godless state that is socialist at its core. And you speak against that. They're saying, oh, my goodness. Oh, my goodness. You're anti-Semitic. Are you ready for me to speak out on it?

[00:44:09] Well, I know what you're going to say, but that's the problem is they're creating laws about this. Israel government's a bunch of clowns. They're a bunch of thugs. They're dishonest. The Israel in modern-day government perversion is not the same as the biblical Israel at all. It's a Zionist belligerence psychotic agenda based on control and power, and it needs to stop. And for us to take that side is evil. Okay? We don't need to pick sides. We need to stay out of it and leave them alone. Right.

[00:44:37] But the fact of the matter is that there's an effort to codify that kind of, okay, if you go to a university in the United States right now and you don't toe the line in terms of the modern state of Israel, you can be arrested and deported. They're taking green card holders. They're taking student visas and all this kind of stuff, and you go, holy cow. Wow. Whoa. Wait a minute. They came to America to be freer.

[00:45:06] It reminds me of a little Vietnamese guy. We were testifying in Salt Lake City against, and I don't live in Salt Lake, but against a communist move to seize property without seizing it. You still owned the property, but you had to pay taxes on it. Whole big, long story behind it. But as I was testifying against it, and they took a break because it got a little heated in the council chambers, a little guy came up to me. And, you know, I mean little guy.

[00:45:33] I mean, if you were, you know, if you had any interactions with Vietnamese people, you know, back in the day, they're tiny people. Anyway, this little guy comes up, and by his accent and his demeanor, I says, are you Vietnamese? And he says, yes. I says, did you come to America? He says, yes. He says, did you come on a boat, on a leaky boat? He says, yes. I says, why did you come? He says, because the communists took over my country, and I came to America to be free from that oppression.

[00:46:00] He says, now they're trying to take my property in Salt Lake City because they can. He says, I wished I could speak good enough English to be able to testify. And he says, sir, you must testify because your story is monumental. But what he did is he came here to be free, and he found that he was oppressed in Salt Lake.

[00:46:20] And by the way, they passed the communist resolution for this seizing of certain properties in Salt Lake, seizing the control of them while you still loaned them and had to pay taxes and couldn't improve them, couldn't use them. But the council ended up voting in favor of that. But, and that was in spite of, after I talked to this little Vietnamese fellow, and he told his story, they ignored him. And they voted in favor of the communist move.

[00:46:47] So, so here are people that are coming here thinking they're going to be free, thinking this land of opportunity, and we're tossing them under the bus. So, I mean, it's a tragic travesty. It is, and that's what we're seeing all across the country with different things. And here's what, in my opinion, we need to do. We need to really push on Congress to make a difference, to get involved.

[00:47:11] And we need to tell our Congress critters, hey, you know what, if you're not going to let me talk to you, if I can't communicate with you, if you're not going to do the things that are right, we're just going to find somebody else in the next election. And if enough Americans would do that, that's where change can start. That's the most local government we can get, or close to us government we can get at the general level. Push on your member of the House, for starters. And number two, go ahead. I'm sorry.

[00:47:38] I'm going to agree with you, though, so I'm not trying to interrupt and disagree, but go ahead. Perfect. You can interrupt and disagree, too. This is America. And that's one of the things that I really champion about talk radio. Hey, we can disagree. And over time, I might change and go, you know what, Bradley's right. Okay? I'm not above admitting that I can change or learn or grow or evolve in my understanding. Let's just make sure when we do it, it's more towards God, family, and country, not the other way around. Anyway, I digress.

[00:48:03] I think you need to really press on your member of the House and let them know in no uncertain terms, this is not rude. I'm just telling you, you work for me. And the more things you do that I don't like, the less chance you're going to work for me. And here's what we want and why. I want us to look through President Trump's executive orders because that's the only record we've got of what's been done since he took office, really. And I want you to codify the constitutional ones. And I want you to do it now.

[00:48:33] The next thing I want you to do is decrease expenses serious, big time. I don't mean like Ron Paul's penny plan or nickel plan. I'm talking about get rid of half the United States government employees. I'm talking about getting rid of most of government agencies or restricting and reducing those agencies to tiny footprints of what they were before. I get that it can't happen overnight. But I want to see enough progress in the next six months to where, hey, we've got a year towards your election cycle.

[00:49:01] I can be confident that you've accomplished enough to make me feel good about putting you in office again. And if you don't, I want you gone. Now, maybe that's redneck simple, doctor, but that's the way I see it. And that's the focus that I would put on things. And then if I were the congressional representatives that agreed with Trump, I would use our bully pulpit every day in the media to just beat the media over the head with these facts, with this truth, what they're trying to accomplish, what they're doing. Hey, Mike Johnson's the problem. Hey, we tried to pass this bill. Hey, these committees are getting in the way. All these things could be openly discussed with the American people.

[00:49:31] And the sooner, the better. Well, I think you're fundamentally on the correct path, and we need to have more of that kind of talk and action. A couple of things I'll say that kind of maybe dovetail into this. Sadly, when one member of the House, Massey, stands up and says, no, we can't do one big, beautiful bill. We can't do this huge deficit authorization. That's exactly what I would have been doing if I was there. But that's the problem.

[00:50:00] Trump takes the antithesis of that and decides you want to get him out of office. So what you're saying to do, and by the way, when you say they work for us, they do to the degree that what they're doing is kept within the constitutional bounds. I know you understand that. But you can't say, what have you done for me, and I want you to get rid of my student loan because that's for me. So you can't lobby for socialism. When I say, what have you accomplished?

[00:50:26] Like I said, the whole goal needs to be if you're returning us to the Constitution, if you're following the checks and balances, if you're – we need change towards that. If you're going towards that, then I don't need to worry about the rest because you won't be voting largesque from the Treasury. You won't be pulling the lever in favor of the few at the expense of the many. You won't be doing those things. So I agree 100 percent that – and this is why these long-form discussions are so vital because to break that down is important. When I say, what have you done?

[00:50:56] I don't mean for Sam Bushman. I mean for everybody in the country based on the supreme law of the land and based on your delegated limited but very powerful authority. That's what I'm talking about. And the thing that's in – one of the things, and I know we're almost out of time. We've got about three or four minutes left. One of the topic – one of the questions that came up in the webinar last night is that Trump – and this is – I'm kind of, I don't know, spinning this a little bit in an abbreviated, trunketed way.

[00:51:26] He – there's a major news splash almost every day with Trump and Elon and the actions of the executive branch and everything like that. He's stirring the pot. And there was questions about that, or we could go into – we don't have time to discuss about that. But in a way – Well, they find criminal activity every single day. When are we going to see arrests is what I want to know. Right. But every day, if I were president, I would use the term to bully pulpit.

[00:51:55] Every day I would take the battle to the people. I would say, people, this is happening. Here's what we've found. This stuff is corrupt. We need to correct this. And I would do what Trump's doing now. Yeah, do a doge nightly update like you did with COVID for a while, right? Absolutely. But here's – where Trump strays from that is when he's violating the Constitution and his usurpations that he does with all sorts of egregious activity like wars that he starts or like executive orders.

[00:52:25] Yeah, it's just because he has bad people, deep state thugs whispering in his ears, the problem. So I can't know what to attribute it to, but the fact of the matter is they're doing that. But if I were in president, I would be doing a news splash every single day too. I would do news conferences from the Oval Office. I would do news conferences on the airplane. I would let – what's her name? Carolyn Levitt go in front of the press corps every day.

[00:52:51] There would be stuff to talk about, and the American people need to hear this, this CNN nonsense that they've got out there. That they put a spin on it and guarantee – I watch a lot of those cable network things to see what spin is. And honestly, they take the most infinitely small drivel and try and make it a federal case.

[00:53:14] And the big, big important stuff they want to ignore because they know they're going to get their butts handed to them on a platter when they do that. But I think in a way Trump is doing a good thing by stirring the pot every day. He is. We just got to take it to the next level. If you tell me there's criminal activity every day, at some point you've got to start arresting every day, don't you? Let's act on it. Let's act on it. Yeah, let's get it done. Now, don't get me wrong. Let's do due process. Let's do it the right way. I'm not calling for any vigilante, violent, anything like that. That's false. If anybody says that, it is not true.

[00:53:45] We uphold the rule of law. And so due process by all means. But let's due process, follow the money, and get to the bottom of the truth and prosecute to the fullest extent of the law. Fauci's wife got fired, though. That's the good news for the day. Amen to that. Well, I don't know. Maybe she'll go to the Indian reservation. Maybe she's just that kind of a public servant, doctor. Let's hold our breath. See how long you can hold it. Not going to happen, people. It's a way to kick her out without kicking her out because there's too many rules against Trump. That's the other problem.

[00:54:15] Congress needs to decrease some of the barriers for President Trump on the correct constitutional things he's working on. And they need to do it fast. All right. Two hours in the can.
