Liberty RoundTable Podcast

Sam breaks down why "cooling inflation" doesn't match reality, why solar power claims don't hold up, and why the housing market has spiraled into crisis, with starter homes now hitting $1 million in cities across America. He traces it all back to a debt-based economy, government regulation, and misplaced dependence on foreign supply chains, then makes the case for returning to constitutional currency, domestic manufacturing, and agricultural independence.
