Liberty RoundTable Podcast

The Liberty Roundtable Radio Talk Show with host Sam Bushman tackles the erosion of American liberty from three angles: the destruction of honest money, the rise of suspicionless surveillance, and the escalation of endless war.

With the US-Iran ceasefire deadline expired and a record $1.5 trillion military budget on the table, the constitutional crisis is deepening.

Sam Bushman opens with a call for national repentance amid floods in Indiana, a tropical storm in Hawaii, and disasters worldwide, arguing that societal turning away from God is at the root of these crises.

He then examines the US-Iran ceasefire expiration, the USS Washington replacing the USS Lincoln after eight months at war, and Attorney General Todd Blanche's refusal to pledge DOJ independence from the White House.

Later, guest Lowell Nelson of Campaign for Liberty joins to mark the 55th anniversary of President Nixon closing the gold window, tracing the federal debt from $400 billion then to nearly $40 trillion today. They discuss sound money alternatives, the Flock surveillance camera network cited by Judge Andrew Napolitano, FBI tracking of January 6th attendees, and George F. Will's column on the rise of homeschooling as America's fastest-growing form of education.

What you'll learn in this episode:

Why Sam Bushman believes natural disasters are tied to societal repentance and what the Bible says about healing the land

How the US-Iran ceasefire deadline expired with no extension and why a $1.5 trillion military budget signals more war, not less

How Nixon closing the gold window 55 years ago led to the federal debt exploding from $400 billion to nearly $40 trillion and why the dollar has lost 97% of its purchasing power

What Judge Andrew Napolitano says about Flock cameras, the Fourth Amendment, and how the FBI used surveillance to track January 6th attendees who committed no crime

Why George F. Will calls homeschooling America's fastest-growing form of education and whether it can counter the public school system's suppression of critical thinking

The Liberty Roundtable Radio episode, host Sam Bushman breaks down why the American economy is heading into dangerous territory just weeks before the midterm elections. From record-high gas prices to a strategic petroleum reserve at a 43-year low, the signs of economic trouble are impossible to ignore.

Sam Bushman lays out the case that gas prices above $4.07 per gallon are driving up the cost of everything from food to clothing, and that July retail sales posted their biggest drop in more than a year as consumer sentiment fell to 51.0. He also connects the dots between America's dependence on foreign oil, the Strait of Hormuz tensions with Iran, and the shrinking strategic petroleum reserve. Then, Bushman turns to the Jeffrey Epstein network, arguing it never truly shut down. He examines a bizarre yacht video involving senior White House aide Lynn Patton and Washington lobbyist Ryan Coyne, whose foreign lobbying ties to Vietnamese and Somali interests raise serious ethics and national security questions that mirror the Epstein playbook of combining sexual compromise with international influence operations.

What you'll learn in this episode:

Why gas prices at $4.07 per gallon are driving up the cost of nearly everything and how the Strategic Petroleum Reserve hit a 43-year low

How July retail sales fell 0.6% against expectations of a 0.2% rise, and what dropping consumer sentiment signals about the economy

Why Sam Bushman believes the Jeffrey Epstein network is still operating and how the Lynn Patton yacht video connects to foreign lobbying concerns

How Washington lobbyist Ryan Coyne's ties to Vietnamese and Somali interests raise ethics and security questions for the Trump White House

Why the unemployment rate drop may be misleading and what the decline in working-age men participating in the workforce means for America

Iran is quietly repositioning armored forces near Abadan, and it may signal a coming ground invasion that the American public is not being told about. In this Liberty Roundtable episode, host Sam Bushman and Dr. Scott Bradley break down what Iran's tank movements reveal about the expanding war and why the Founding Fathers' wisdom matters more than ever.

Sam Bushman and Dr. Scott Bradley examine Iran's repositioning of tank forces at Abadan near the Iraq-Kuwait border, potentially signaling a ground invasion route that has been hidden behind talk of Kharg Island. They discuss how Iran's overland supply chains from Russia, China, and North Korea give them a sustainable advantage, why Pete Hegseth's inexperience is leading to strategic blunders that violate Sun Tzu's basic laws of war, and how the Abraham Accords created a diplomatic disaster. The conversation then pivots to the Adams-Jefferson reconciliation letters, covering topics that remain current events today: religion, liberty, war, national debt, monetary systems, and political parties. Sam and Dr. Bradley argue that the Founding Fathers' principles, drawn from divine guidance, offer the only viable off-ramp from endless war.

What you'll learn in this episode:

Why Iran's tank repositioning at Abadan may signal a ground invasion route from Iraq, not the widely discussed Kharg Island target

How Iran's overland supply chains from Russia, China, and North Korea make them harder to defeat than Trump claims

What the Adams-Jefferson reconciliation letters reveal about topics that are still current events over 200 years later

Why Pete Hegseth's inexperience and the Abraham Accords violate Sun Tzu's basic laws of war

Trump's repeated claims that the war is over and peace deals are done have crumbled under scrutiny, and the consequences for American military readiness are mounting fast. In this Liberty Roundtable episode, host Sam Bushman and Dr. Scott Bradley break down why Trump's foreign policy credibility has collapsed and what it means for the nation.

Sam Bushman and Dr. Scott Bradley examine Trump's pattern of declaring victory in the Middle East while meetings with Netanyahu and pro-war senators continue with no actual peace in sight. They discuss the two types of Trump Derangement Syndrome, the tearing up of the internationally negotiated Iran nuclear agreement, and how surrogate conflicts involving North Korea, Russia, the Houthis, and Iran are expanding across multiple choke points, including the Straits of Hormuz and the Red Sea. The conversation also covers the USS Lincoln crisis, where over 5,000 sailors have been at sea for 250+ days with food shortages, failing infrastructure, and mental health emergencies, raising urgent questions about whether the United States could defend itself if invaded.

What you'll learn in this episode:

Why Trump's repeated claims of victory in the Middle East have destroyed his credibility on foreign policy

How the USS Lincoln deployment crisis reveals deep problems in military readiness and sailor welfare

Why Dr. Scott Bradley believes we are already in a low-grade World War III through surrogate conflicts

How sleeper cells, cartels, and 600,000 military-aged Chinese men inside the US pose domestic defense risks

Utah County commissioner candidate Jacob Oaks was cited for driving on a suspended license he was never notified about, and when he fought back, the court denied him a jury trial, denied him cross-examination of witnesses, and then demanded he pay a $300 fine before his appeal was even finished.

This episode of the Liberty Roundtable with Sam Bushman breaks down why this case is about far more than a traffic ticket.

Host Sam Bushman is joined by constitutional scholar Dr. Scott Bradley and Jacob Oaks himself to walk through every step of a case that has exposed serious cracks in due process protections for everyday Americans.

From the Driver's License Division's inability to prove they ever sent a notice, to a district court judge claiming there were no further appeals available, to KSL broadcasting the story in a way the panel calls a deliberate hit piece against a political candidate, the episode lays out the full picture the headlines left out.

What you will learn:

How Jacob Oaks' license was suspended without verified notice and immediately reinstated once he found out

Why prosecutors amended the charge from a misdemeanor to an infraction specifically to strip him of his right to a jury trial

What the Fifth, Sixth, and Seventh Amendments say about jury trials and the taking of property

How Frederic Bastiat's 1850 book "The Law" explains the pattern of government using law enforcement to facilitate plunder

Why paying a fine under protest can still be used against a defendant and why Jacob chose to refuse

#LibertyRoundtable #JacobOaks #DueProcess

Utah candidate and Liberty United founder Jacob Oaks is fighting a court system he says violated his due process rights over a suspended license he was never notified about. This episode of the Liberty RoundTable explores why one man's refusal to pay a $300 fine has become a landmark constitutional battle over jury trials, government overreach, and the rights of every American.

Host Sam Bushman is joined by constitutional scholar Dr. Scott Bradley and Jacob Oaks himself to break down how a routine traffic infraction spiraled into an appeal heading toward the Utah Supreme Court, and possibly beyond. The panel examines how media outlets like KSL framed the story, what the Founders meant by calling patriots "odious," and why complying with an unjust order can set a dangerous precedent for all citizens.

What you will learn:

Why Jacob Oaks refused to pay a $300 court fine and is appealing to the Utah Supreme Court

How prosecutors can amend charges down to infractions to strip defendants of their right to a jury trial

What George Washington meant when he warned that real patriots become "odious" to the ruling class

How misleading headlines can damage a candidate's reputation even when the facts support the defendant

Why the panel argues that compliance with unjust laws only grows government power
