In this special Thanksgiving episode of Liberty RoundTable Live, host Sam Bushman is joined by Lance Migliaccio and special guest Keonne Rodriguez, co-founder of Samurai Wallet, for a conversation that goes far beyond the holiday table.

The show opens with reflections on gratitude, family, and the true spirit of Thanksgiving, but quickly pivots to the urgent issues facing Americans today: government overreach, the erosion of privacy, and the fight to protect our fundamental freedoms.

Sam and Lance set the stage with a candid discussion about the state of the nation—highlighting the importance of faith, family, and the Constitution in turbulent times.

Keonne Rodriguez shares his deeply personal and timely story. As the developer behind Samurai Wallet, a privacy-focused Bitcoin software, Keonne found himself at the center of a federal prosecution. Despite never handling customer funds, Keonne was charged with conspiracy to commit money laundering and operating an unlicensed money transmission business—raising critical questions about the future of digital privacy, the weaponization of the justice system, and the chilling effect on innovation in America.

Lance Migliaccio joins Sam in unpacking the legal, ethical, and societal implications of Keonne’s case. Together, they expose the double standards in the justice system, the dangers of unchecked government power, and the urgent need for Americans to stand up for their rights.

Listeners will hear firsthand about the emotional and financial toll this ordeal has taken on Keonne and his family, as well as the broader impact on the tech community and anyone who values freedom.

The episode also explores the role of the media, the importance of due process, and the need for unity and compassion—even in the face of adversity.

This is more than just a radio show—it’s a call to action for everyone who believes in liberty, justice, and the American way.
