Liberty RoundTable Podcast

Sam Bushman is back from a week away, and he's not holding back. He sounds the alarm on martial arts fights at the White House and what they signal about America's drift toward Rome-style blood sport. He covers the murder case dividing the country, the Fox acquisition of Roku and what it means for media control, China's record graduating class hitting a shrinking job market, AI data centers and the water and memory concerns nobody's talking about, Delhi's streets baking at 140 degrees, and the news many have been waiting for: a US-Iran peace framework. Plus a heads-up on AI taxes coming down the road.

Sam Bushman and Dr. Scott Bradley don't hold back. On the 59th anniversary of Israel's attack on the USS Liberty, they demand the truth finally come out. They break down why Rubio's claim that the Iran war is over is a lie designed to dodge the 60-day War Powers clock, why Dr. Bradley no longer believes anything the administration says about the war, and why Republicans are heading into the midterms in serious trouble. They also dig into the 2027 National Defense Authorization Act's Section 224, which would interweave the Israeli military with America's own, the Jonathan Pollard spy case, the Greater Israel agenda, and why violating the Constitution to do good things is the same trap no matter who does it.
