Join host Sam Bushman and guest Lowell Nelson (CampaignForLiberty.org, RonPaulInstitute.org) for a powerful episode exploring the weaponization of federal agencies, the erosion of due process, the unresolved questions around Charlie Kirk’s assassination, and the call to return to constitutional and spiritual principles.

[0:00] Introduction & Guest Welcome

Sam Bushman introduces Lowell Nelson and sets the stage for a deep-dive into liberty, justice, and current events.

[2:05] It Didn’t Start with Trump – Ron Paul’s Perspective

Discussion begins on Ron Paul’s column about the long history of federal agencies being used against political opponents, predating Trump. Examples include FDR, JFK, LBJ, Nixon, Clinton, Bush, and Obama. (See 2:05–8:00)

[8:00] The Dangers of Partisan Politics

The founders’ warnings about party over principle, and how power-hungry systems perpetuate abuse. (8:00–9:45)

[9:45] A Trumpian Headache – Judge Andrew Napolitano

Analysis of Judge Napolitano’s critique of the Trump administration’s use of “unlawful enemy combatant” designations and targeted killings, and the constitutional crisis this creates. (9:45–21:00)

The importance of due process: “No person shall be deprived of life, liberty, or property without due process of law!” (15:00–21:00)

[24:25] Who Buried the Investigation of Charlie Kirk’s Murder? – Paul Craig Roberts

The show pivots to the unresolved questions surrounding Charlie Kirk’s assassination. Paul Craig Roberts’ column is discussed, highlighting missing evidence, unanswered questions, and the lack of transparency. (24:25–34:00)

Key questions: Do they have a bullet or not? Was there an exit wound? Who is the man in the brown shirt? Has he been questioned? How did Tyler Robinson hide the murder weapon?

[34:00] Unraveling the Mystery – Ginny Garner’s Theory

Ginny Garner’s alternative theory is explored, including the possibility of a shaped charge in Kirk’s microphone battery pack. The hosts reflect on the broader implications and the lack of credible answers. (34:00–39:00)

The good news: Charlie Kirk’s courageous example of living his Christian faith and introducing thousands to Jesus Christ. (39:00–41:00)

Scriptural reflections: 2 Chronicles 7:14 and Ether 2:12 from the Book of Mormon.

[48:30] Who Would Jesus Bomb? – John & Nisha Whitehead

The conversation turns to the Whiteheads’ column, contrasting the “Gospel of Power” with the “Gospel of Peace.” (48:30–54:00)

Jesus taught mercy, love for enemies, and rejected politics as a means to salvation. The tragedy of our age is that people of faith consent to the abuse of power, losing their moral and spiritual birthright.

[54:00] Final Reflections & Call to Action

The hosts urge listeners to focus on Christ, constitutional principles, and to be moral leaders in their communities. (54:00–end)

“We the people” must protect liberty, uphold the Constitution, and seek peace over power.
