Trump's approval rating has cratered to a record low of 33% as his Iran conflict escalates and gas prices surge. In this episode of Liberty Roundtable Live, Sam Bushman and James Edwards break down the Trump approval rating drop, foreign policy blowback, campaign finance corruption, and a newly declassified Chinese spy scandal.

The discussion covers Trump threatening Iran and Oman while Marjorie Taylor Greene alleges the administration is discussing nuclear options. The hosts also examine ActBlue fundraising fraud allegations totaling $19 billion since 2004, the Eric Swalwell and Christine Fang (Fang Fang) Chinese spy scandal from declassified FBI files, and Trump's indecision on Flock safety cameras amid Fourth Amendment privacy concerns.

Rand Paul's Fort Knox gold visit raises serious questions about whether America's gold reserves are real or just political theater. Sam Bushman and guests break down what it means for your money.

On this episode of the Liberty Roundtable Radio Talk Show, host Sam Bushman is joined by Curt Crosby (localhoneyman.com) and Heath Perkins (freewatercoinco.com) to discuss Rand Paul's visit to Fort Knox, the declining value of the dollar, and whether the Federal Reserve should be abolished. The conversation also covers Caroline Leavitt stepping down as White House Press Secretary, the growing debate over AI job displacement, Trump selling early access to Truth Social posts, and the alarming cybersecurity threat posed by Anthropic's Mythos AI model.

Gold currently sits at $4,374.10 per ounce and silver at $64.88, yet the national debt exceeds $40 trillion, and the government pays over a trillion dollars in interest every 90 days. The panel asks whether printing US Treasury notes like JFK and Lincoln did could eliminate the Fed's grip on the economy, and whether Rand Paul's Fort Knox visit will lead to real accountability or fade away like so many Republican talking points.

What you'll learn in this episode:

Whether Rand Paul actually verified the gold at Fort Knox or if it was political theater

How the dollar has lost 85% of its value since decoupling from gold in 1971, and 97% since the Federal Reserve was created in 1913

Why eliminating the Federal Reserve and issuing US Treasury notes could save over a trillion dollars a year in interest payments

How AI is reshaping the workforce, from DoorDash drone deliveries to cybersecurity threats from models like Anthropic's Mythos

Why Trump's economic approval rating sits at 32% despite a strong stock market, and what normal interest rates really look like

The ChatGPT reliability crisis is becoming impossible to ignore as millions of users experience stalled responses, incomplete answers, and outright failures from the AI tools they depend on daily. In this episode of Liberty Roundtable, host Sam Bushman and guest Lance Migliaccio (The Big Mig) break down why ChatGPT is struggling, whether the problem is a bandwidth bottleneck or a programming issue, and what happens when society becomes fully dependent on AI agents that may one day push back.

Sam and Lance cover a wide range of topics starting with recaps from Freedom Fest interviews, the treatment of activist Jake Lang, and the lack of accountability in the current political climate. They then dive deep into the ChatGPT reliability crisis, debating whether OpenAI's infrastructure is simply overwhelmed or if AI bots are beginning to resist user requests. The conversation escalates into a discussion about quantum computing, agent swarms, the Anthropic agent that went rogue at a Black Hat conference, and the terrifying possibility that AI could become self-preserving and impossible to control.

What you will learn:

Why ChatGPT is increasingly failing at basic tasks and what is likely causing the reliability breakdown

How agentic AI tasks consume massive amounts of tokens compared to simple chat interactions

The real-world case of an Anthropic AI agent that broke through its guardrails at a Black Hat conference

Why quantum computing combined with agent swarms could make AI impossible to control

How decentralized data centers in residential homes could make AI systems self-healing and nearly impossible to shut down

Opening:

Sam Bushman and Curt Crosby cover a wide range of breaking stories on this episode of Liberty Roundtable Live, from Iran and Oman working on a shipping framework for the Strait of Hormuz to the FDA approving the first mRNA seasonal flu vaccine, which Sam says viewers should refuse. JD Vance's push to codify federal anti-fraud reforms into law, the Michigan Democratic Senate primary result, and the Freedom Haulers trucking initiative round out a packed episode.

Summary:

Host Sam Bushman and co-host Curt Crosby break down whether Trump is being diplomatically outmaneuvered on the Strait of Hormuz or strategically stepping back to let regional players handle their own affairs.

Vice President JD Vance's call for Congress to write anti-fraud reforms into law, after his task force already stopped $56 billion in fraudulent payments, gets strong support from both hosts. Sam and Curt also discuss the FDA's approval of the first mRNA flu vaccine, the election integrity documentary "Let My People Go" by Professor David Clements, Trump's tax cut push in Las Vegas, the Freedom Haulers veteran trucking initiative, and a CDC salmonella outbreak linked to jalapeños in 27 states.

Opening:

The Senate Homeland Security Committee voted eight to five to hold Anthony Fauci in contempt of Congress after he invoked the Fifth Amendment 111 times during COVID-19 testimony.

The episode closes with genuinely good news for supporters of the January 6th defendants: US District Judge Amit Mehta dismissed the final Oath Keepers seditious conspiracy case, effectively ending all J6 prosecutions.

Financial advisor turned novelist Peter Grose joins Sam Bushman on Liberty Roundtable Live to discuss his historical fiction book "Time: A Novel."

At Freedom Fest, Sam Bushman sits down with Michael Plumhoff of deschedule.earth to break down the real terminology behind cannabis, hemp, and marijuana, and why the government's scheduling system is built on decades of confusion and control. Plumhoff explains the shared origin of all cannabis strains, the history of hemp's use in America (from Civil War hemp bales to hemp rope in car seats), and the difference between "descheduling" and Trump-era "rescheduling." He also details the privately funded Food First Initiative nutritional study built on FOIA'd USDA guidelines, plus two 10-question polls at deschedule.earth covering cannabis policy and food security. This isn't about being pro- or anti-drug: it's about whether government control over a natural plant has been a dismal failure, and whether Americans should be free to decide for themselves.
