[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. All right, back with you live, ladies and gentlemen, Sam Bushman and Kurt Crosby, the Honeyman, localhoneyman.com, his website. And there's so much going on, it's hard to really focus on all of it, ladies and gentlemen, but we're talking about this deportation issue.
[00:00:31] And the problem is, the sad part is, President Trump promised the largest deportation operation in American history. But the results measured so far just simply don't support it. He hasn't really deported very many people. They have a goal of a million people a year. Now, by the way, I don't mean to be rude, but that goal is a failure goal.
[00:00:53] Because one, even if you get rid of a million people for four years, they say that we've got nearly 30 million illegals in the country. Some say it's 20 million. Either way, I mean, in his four-year stint, he would only get rid of, I mean, a fifth of it at best. So you're going to have to have way more than a million a year to get the largest deportation in history going. So far, Trump's not even ahead of Bill Clinton. Okay?
[00:01:21] So the Democrats were more for deportation than even the Republicans back in the day. That's why Bill Clinton has more than the rest, right? Because he took deportations seriously. Now they're Democrats who are against deportation. But before they were against it, they were big time for it. And Bill Clinton's numbers ahead of Donald Trump's is the proof. Now, Trump made this promise. And a lot of people want to really pick on Trump because he hasn't accomplished it. I don't, Kurt.
[00:01:51] What I want to do is talk about why. And I really believe the reasons why matter. Okay? Trump has tried to deport people. He's got Tom Holman, who I trust and believe in, on the beat to get it done. But here's the problem. You have a failed Congress that hasn't supported President Trump at all. And they could. And they could change the law or make the law to where the courts couldn't fight the law. Right?
[00:02:21] That's kind of the most important thing to understand. They could literally stop it. And say, hold on. We're backing the president. Here's the money for the deportations. Here's the structure of the law to make sure this happens. This is necessary and vital. Well, but Congress has been derelict. They've done nothing. Secondly, now, all the courts, you've got judges, judges, even Trump-appointed judges. And these Trump-appointed judges aren't doing it either. Like, in my opinion, they should.
[00:02:52] Okay? They need to get this done. And the judges have been doing nothing but opposing Trump at every turn. And so I, you know, feel like Trump's missed the boat on this thing. But the problem that I have is I don't know that I can blame one man. He only has so much control. It's kind of like how these sheriffs look into election fraud, Kurt. And they find fraud. And they write up a case. And they get it all done. Then they give it to the DA to carry it out. And the DA says, I'm not going to act on it.
[00:03:22] Well, the sheriffs don't have authority to do whatever they want. And neither does the president. And so what we need to do is impeach these judges. And we need to make Congress pay. We need to put folks in Congress who will stand for deportation. Now, I'm for a justice and mercy plan. I'm not for getting rid of everybody that's come to this country. There's a lot of good, honest, moral people who are here illegally. Because there's no good way to come to America legally in any timely manner. I'm not justifying their positions. I'm just saying it's reality.
[00:03:51] What we need to do is get rid of the criminals, though. And if you, you know, say, hey, two or three or four or five million of them are criminals. And we really target those criminals hard. But we give the law-abiding illegals. And you say, well, they're not law-abiding. They're breaking the law by being here. I know. But if they're not criminals in other ways, the only thing they've done is cross the border that, hey, they may not have had legal right to do. But, hey, if they're fleeing other countries, if they want a better life, how do you blame them? Okay, so let's give a peace offering to a lot of the illegals
[00:04:20] and give them a way forward. The peaceful kind. That's the mercy plan. And then let's use the justice plan to go hardcore after the criminals. And I think really what we need is Congress and the courts to support the president, Curt. Imagine that, Sam. I mean, imagine Congress and the courts supporting the president, the leader of the free world. You know, Sam, one of the things that you mentioned was you said some Trump-appointed judges.
[00:04:50] So it's sort of like, you know, you got the Trump guys opposing each other and helping each other. So then you're kind of like, what happened? But remember how those blue-slip things work, you know, where you basically have senators kind of basically approving who the president can. Advice and consent, right? Yeah. Well, in other words, if they, like, take New York, for example. If President Trump doesn't choose the.
[00:05:19] Put Sam Bushman on the court in New York, for example. Yeah. You're not going to be there, you know. But if Chuck Schumer gives him a list of the guys he wants, then, you know, they're called Trump-appointed judges. But it's such a mess. You're right about that. Sure. And so many times that's the same deal that we're dealing with. And that's why I bring up Trump-appointed judges, because in my opinion, to a great degree, they're betraying President Trump in this. Yeah. And the Congress isn't doing it.
[00:05:48] This could be so simple, but everybody's got this Trump derangement syndrome where they're just so against everything Trump wants to do. Why wouldn't we stop criminal illegals? Just tell me one good reason why everybody wouldn't be for that. Every law-abiding person that wants safety would be for that, right? But it's a simple thing, Sam, if you remember that if you're in the opposition or the loyal opposition party and you, you know, see the other guys are doing well, you've got to oppose
[00:06:16] it or else people are like, why would we ever support you? You know, because you're saying this is good. You know, so you've got to act like, oh, it's terrible. And, you know, the world's melting down. So all I got to do is be a self-determining American and think for myself and tell the truth wherever I go and stand for what's right wherever I go and reject what's wrong wherever I go every time, all the time to the best of my ability. That's all I got to do. Imagine. Stupid people like me just can't get it.
[00:06:44] But see, that's why the partisan politics stuff has just got to go. The party has betrayed Donald is the point, Kurt, in my humble opinion. Well, that's right. And so much, I mean, what is a Republican Party? I mean, you know, you've got a whole mixture of people, especially the rhinos. It's the big tent, right? Oh, yeah. And that's why we should have followed what George Washington told us about, you know,
[00:07:12] this eliminating the whole party thing because the spirit of party is a big problem, you know. But we've not followed those things, you know. I think the party should be over, ladies and gentlemen. That's all I'm doing. All right. USDA announces $8 billion in, quote, farm relief as diesel costs rise. Kurt, this is a serious story.
[00:07:37] The Agriculture Department said it would provide, quote, one-time payments to farmers to help cover what they call increased production costs during the harvest season. The Farm Service Agency will administer the program using what they call a uniform formula covering part of farmers' losses, et cetera, et cetera, and stuff. I don't want this, Kurt. I mean, I know that, you know, the farmers are in trouble, but they're in trouble because we're at war.
[00:08:07] They're in trouble because we've driven up costs. They're in trouble because we haven't decreased the IRS while we increased the ERS or the tariffs. I'm all for the tariffs, but you've got to reduce on the other side, and we've been kind of beat up on all sides. And again, I hold Congress responsible for this. Congress could say, hey, let's back Trump on the tariffs. Let's get rid of the IRS because we don't need it anymore with these tariffs. Let's go back to constitutional taxation and not have direct taxes on the people. That was a criminal enterprise in the beginning.
[00:08:36] Let's just call a spade a spade and get it done. Again, Trump's already led the way. All we got to do is get people to back that play and we'd be in good shape. Well, you know, it's so nice to know what the solutions are, Sam. They just stare us right in the face. They're right there from so many that have gone before us, and all we have to do is choose them.
[00:09:00] And, you know, at least on this immigration thing where you have, you know, the hopes of most of us are that, hey, you have people that are here illegally, you know, back to their countries, and then start over where you say, look, you know, you would like to come to America, you know, fill out these forms, get this stuff done, and we'll make sure that, you know, you fit in America.
[00:09:29] And not, you know, well, hey, everybody running across the border and, you know, you just show up wherever. I mean, it's just a simple situation there.
[00:09:40] But one thing I will say is that, you know, since the president and Tom Holman and crew and everybody have targeted those real bad guys, you know, you see in the places where they've had cooperation, the crime has just dropped like a rock. I know, and it's incredible, isn't it? Yeah, well, you know. There's credit for that. And Sheriff Mack has told us about that so many times.
[00:10:08] Sometimes the real problem is the recidivism. In other words, you know, the bad guys that go in and out of jail are the main problem, you know. And so if you've got bad guys and, you know, you get rid of them, guess what? You have less crime. Well, imagine that. So that's what I mean by I think Donald's trying to do the right thing. And I think what we need to do is focus on that reality. Nobody wants criminals here. No one wants our streets to be unsafe.
[00:10:35] Let's go hardcore justice after those criminals and get them gone. And then let's find a mercy plan. People who live here right now, many of them are in no man's land. They have a right to work cards, but yet they're supposedly illegal. And how do you have a right to work in a country where they claim you're illegal? See, it's that fuzziness going on that we've got to fix. And we've got to have peace and mercy for the good guys. Bypass the mainstream narrative with Liberty News Radio at LibertyNewsRadio.com.

[00:12:33] All right, ladies and gentlemen, Sam and Kurt, hard-hitting news that ever should be used to use. Like I say, I wrote a justice and mercy immigration plan that I think we ought to use. But of course, Congress is stuck on stupid and the judges seem to be anti-Trump at every turn. Now, don't get me wrong. I'm not saying Trump's done everything right, folks. There's plenty of things that Trump hasn't done perfectly. And Kurt's acknowledged that. But at the same time, I think there's so many things that could have gone right if President Trump wasn't betrayed by his own party.
[00:13:03] All right, new Federal Reserve reports out, Kurt. Trust the Federal Reserve, right? All right. Oh, yeah. They highlight sharp increases in wealth disparity post-COVID pandemic. According to the latest 2025 Consumer of Finances by the Federal Reserve. The wealth gap in the United States has ever grown wider since COCO, affecting different age groups differently.
[00:13:33] The survey reveals a modest 2% increase in median family net worth, which I find interesting because inflation has been above that for years. So they've really gone backwards big time is the point, right? Younger Americans under the age of 35, though, are really struggling because they experienced a significant 23% decrease in net worth, Kurt.
[00:14:06] In stark contrast, older Americans, 75 and above, saw their median net worth surge by 37%. And this divergence in wealth distribution is related to broader economic shifts, et cetera, et cetera. And they say these economic pressures emerge as pivotal issues continue to plague.
[00:14:34] Younger voters are disillusioned, and it's making a difference voting-wise. And my response is President Trump's been very critical to the Federal Reserve, the first president to really speak out against it, which I love in modern times. He's kind of like an Andrew Jackson of yesteryear. I just wish he had the guts to go all the way and abolish the Federal Reserve. That's something we can certainly push for. But he's been very critical of it, justly so, Kurt. Amen to that.
[00:14:57] You know, and, you know, you see, I think it's so amazing that there's so few that bring up the fact that, you know, he's offering people, any American, you know, he doesn't say just the ones who vote Republican or just the votes. It'd have to be in a certain range.
[00:15:17] But any adult American, he's offering $5,000, a $5,000 check to anyone as long as the Republicans maintain control of the House and the Senate. Now, you know, some have criticized this offering, if you will.
[00:15:34] Well, but to me, it's almost like the, you know, Elon Musk kind of thing, you know, because he looks and says, hey, we've got $21 trillion plus or $22 trillion of investments coming into America. Now we'll share the wealth amongst the people. Similar to what a brother of mine used to enjoy when he lived in Alaska.
[00:15:58] You know, the state would basically just dole out a certain amount of the cash that was brought in from the oil sales of Alaska to each of the citizens each year.
[00:16:12] And you look at what could happen in an America like that, where you're re-industrializing, you're bringing those factories back that have been sent overseas for so long and all the jobs and things with them and making an America, like President Trump says, a golden age in America once again. Now, I'm not happy with the $5,000 handouts.
[00:16:41] I don't think we should hand that out. I think we should abolish the Federal Reserve and get rid of our debt and pay down our bills and live within our means and all that kind of stuff. But the soaring stock market sparks surge in early retirement among older Americans. And so this disparity that I spoke of that the Federal Reserve documented now, hey, people are starting to retire left and right. They're going, we're doing great. And so this is an example where, you know, they want you to believe the economy is horrible and it is for younger Americans. And I feel bad about that.
[00:17:10] Like abolishing the Federal Reserve and getting rid of our debt would go a long way. We're paying well over a trillion dollars a year in interest now, well over $1.5 trillion in the military industrial complex. We take care of those two things and we'd be in great shape. But all I'm telling you is that the disparity is there, but not everybody's doing horrible. You know, when Trump says the economy is doing very well in many, many respects, he's right about that.
[00:17:36] And I think that it's something that we've kind of overlooked or not been willing to admit because everybody's so against Trump. They can't admit that. But I think that it's important to understand. And everybody's worried about AI taking everybody's jobs. And I'm here to tell you right now, the experts in the field say not so fast. I don't think AI is going to get rid of as many jobs as you think. Yes, it's going to do a lot of legwork for people. But the smart people will embrace AI and become the decision makers.
[00:18:04] And yes, it might mean less work for folks. But every revolution has created less work for folks. Think of the industrial revolution, for example. Now that we've got washing machines and dryers, we've got dishwashers, we've got vacuums, we've got... Hey, we do way less housework and housework is way easier than it used to be. I mean, it used to be the wife and the daughters would have to go out and beat laundry all day from, you know, sunup to sundown just to get the laundry done on Mondays or whatever.
[00:18:32] And the men would have to be gone slaving in the field and they'd have to have their sons working with them and everything else just to bring in enough money to eat. And they'd have to make candles at night while they got, you know, daylight in the evenings or whatever so they can have light in the winter and stuff like this. We've got to put back a bunch of food just so we can have food through the winter. See, all those concerns we don't have, folks. But this industrial revolution, I want to be very clear, or this modern-day AI revolution, it's going to change the world. There's no question about it.
[00:19:02] However, no one's going to work. It's totally bogus. It isn't true at all. It just means your work is going to change. You're going to be babysitting AI and making decisions. And your output's going to be tremendous. You're not going to need to work as many hours to get life taken care of, which means more free time. Hopefully, we'll use that to promote God, family, and country. Hopefully, we'll use that time to preserve the sacred cause of liberty. Hopefully, we'll use that time to minister to our fellow men around us. Hopefully, we'll use that time wisely.
[00:19:32] The God in heaven's not a fool, and he knows AI can change the game. But he also knows that we have tremendous worth as sons and daughters of Almighty God. And so don't believe there's no hope, ladies and gentlemen. Just believe that there's going to be ways to do much more. And the question becomes, what will you do with your time? Kurt? Well, that's exactly right, Sam. And there's so many options, so many good things to participate in. You know, just find them.
[00:20:01] I mean, wherever you are, I know that, you know, I remember years ago, Sam, when we'd be involved in maybe a local campaign, they'd say, man, you guys need to participate in a federal campaign. I mean, you don't want to waste your time on all these local things. And then you'd, you know, participate in a federal one, and they'd be like, well, you know, you can't really make a difference in the federal ones. You need to participate in the local ones.
[00:20:29] I mean, the bottom line is, you know, there's plenty of good work to do, whether it's in your family, you know, in your neighborhood, in your community. Even, you might even be in the halls of Congress somewhere, like Ilian Omar, you know, Sam. Oh, I mean, sorry, you know. I mean, what was so amazing about her, she had one of those softball interviews just lately, and they asked her something like,
[00:20:58] did you marry your brother, she said, something like, well, not to my knowledge. You know, it's almost like those ones where they ask them, the Supreme Court justices, what's a woman? And they can't really answer that, you know what I mean? But they can tell you that Enos Cantor and, what's his name, can't be in the NBA because they're, or the WNBA. Well, the WNBA, yeah, right, for sure. White is his name.
[00:21:27] Yeah, crazy stuff, isn't it? You know what I mean? Yeah. It's an amazing time. I did see one real fun story, Sam, I thought you might really enjoy. Well, I don't know if this is fun, but this one, the headline says, polling firm admits to fake data, says it was social experiment. Man, we've seen this forever, haven't we?
[00:21:56] Yeah, you know, I mean, I guess they call it Wedgwood polls. They posted that it fabricated, that means fake, its data. That's called fake news, Kurt. Yeah, throughout the 2026 election cycle. Hold on, is that election tampering and election fraud then to fake and lie and create these bogus polls that flat out aren't true and then admit to it? I mean, should people go to jail for that? Well, it sure seemed like it to me, Sam.
[00:22:24] I mean, lying is criminal activity, at least. It's about to have a genuine belief or whatever that it's different, that, hey, I believe this. It's another thing to flat out make up false, fake data. That can be proven as fraudulent, Kurt. And with all those suckers in the clink. And I believe a lot of the polls are that way now. I don't think the Republicans are doing great going into this election. Right. But I don't know that it's as bad as we're told either. And the question becomes, how much do they make it turn out bad by their fraudulent reporting, Kurt?
[00:22:53] That's a real question. That's exactly right. They said, we wanted to test a simple hypothesis. How easy is it for an entirely fabricated polling firm to gain traction, be taken seriously, and expose how little scrutiny exists in media and public commentary? Depends on who they are. The short answer, far too easy. Yeah, because, you know, they're spouting off the stuff that the insiders want to be true, right? Sam?
[00:23:23] Well, they don't care if it's true or not. They just want it to be promoted. They want that as a narrative. They don't care if it's true or not. That's right. As long as it's the narrative, they're cool with it, right? They say they took credit for at least 18 polls in which the data was cited by numerous polling aggregators, such as the Left Wing 50 Plus 1, Decision Desk HQ, and the New York Times. I mean, imagine the New York Times. Wow.
[00:23:52] It's a disaster, ladies and gentlemen. They've committed vote fraud, and I'm wondering when Donald Trump, our dear buddy over at the FBI, Kash Patel and company are going to toss these clowns in the clink for their dishonesty and their morality, manipulating elections. That's my question. Also, it's interesting. KSL says, we've researched and we find no fraud, no problem with mail-in elections. And then the next story basically says, hey, we've got a fraudulent election going on here. Some people are dealing with ballots in the wrong way, and it's under investigation. How does that all work? Just saying.
[00:24:22] All right. By the way, we've got an incredible event for liberty-united.com. Liberty United has an event on November the 7th. Check it out and join us.
