Liberty RoundTable Podcast

In this FreedomFest interview, Sam Bushman sits down with Mike ter Maat, an economist and entrepreneur, as he prepares to make a bold announcement: a two-year campaign for the Republican vice presidential nomination, something never attempted in the party's history. Mike Ter Maat lays out his plan to unify the GOP by adding a liberty movement voice to the ticket and to hand the VP selection to national delegates instead of the presidential nominee. The conversation covers party politics, the role of an independent-minded VP, and even a lighthearted pitch to bring Sam onto the campaign as media liaison.

Sam and Dr. Scott Bradley kick off with a surprising history lesson: today marks the anniversary of Lafayette's 1777 commission as a major general, plus the strange true story of George Washington's personal cologne and its link to Lafayette. They then dig into the founders' faith, tackling a Supreme Court justice's controversial comment questioning whether America is a Christian nation, and unpack Jefferson's personal beliefs, the true meaning of the First Amendment, and how a godless humanist civil religion has replaced the nation's founding principles.

Sam Bushman breaks down a viral story about Scotty's Drive In, a 60-year-old burger joint in Idaho Falls that started selling burgers for 15 cents in 1964. That leads into a deep dive comparing minimum wage, burger sizes, cars, and homes then versus now, and a fascinating back and forth with ChatGPT about whether inflation (CPI) or gold and silver is the better measure of affordability. The real question isn't what things cost; it's what it costs to build an ordinary life today compared to what past generations considered normal.
