Fool Me Once, Shame on You – Mike Johnson and the Same Old Washington GameSam Bushman delivers a sharp critique of Speaker of the House Mike Johnson in this Liberty Roundtable live short. Despite promises of fiscal responsibility, Johnson has followed in the footsteps of his predecessors, raising the debt ceiling while claiming to cut spending—a contradictory approach that Sam calls out as disastrous.Sam draws parallels to The Who’s 1971 anthem, “Won’t Get Fooled Again,” noting that the new boss seems no different from the old boss. He questions why Washington continues the cycle of reckless spending and empty promises, urging real accountability and action to restore fiscal sanity.With Donald Trump advocating for the elimination of the debt ceiling and Johnson supporting this agenda, Sam emphasizes the need for bold leadership willing to make meaningful cuts and tackle wasteful spending. Leaders like Rand Paul, Vivek Ramaswamy, and others have shown pathways for reform—but will Washington listen?

Will Chuck Grassley Really Become the Next U.S. President?Sam Bushman dives into speculation about the possibility of Chuck Grassley ascending to the presidency if the House fails to elect a Speaker in time to certify the 2024 election results. Based on an article by Joe Kovacs at WND.com, the scenario involves complex legal and constitutional questions. However, Sam dismisses this outcome as highly unlikely.Even though this didn't actually happen the Constitutional Repercussions are Staggering.Sam critiques current Speaker Mike Johnson, pointing out his failure to deliver on promises and his role in passing a massive omnibus spending bill. Despite Donald Trump's support for Johnson, Sam argues it's time for new leadership in the House. He suggests bold alternatives like Rand Paul, Vivek Ramaswamy, or even Elon Musk—anyone but the entrenched political elites who have led the country astray.It's time for fresh ideas and accountability in Washington!

This comes amid a wave of high-profile figures, many of whom have opposed Trump, now seeking meetings at his Florida club. From Morning Joe's Mika and Joe to Apple CEO Tim Cook, the list grows—and now Bill Gates is reportedly joining it.Sam questions Trump’s willingness to engage with individuals who have historically been adversaries of his presidency and policies. He urges Trump to prioritize meetings with constitutional conservatives and liberty advocates instead of entertaining figures like Gates, a known proponent of population control and vaccine mandates.Sam calls on Trump to remember the grassroots supporters who helped him and to reject the influence of those who have betrayed him in the past. The future of liberty depends on it!

Will Donald Trump Become the “War President”?Sam Bushman explores the growing concerns about America’s military involvement worldwide and the possibility of Donald Trump becoming known as the “War President.” As tensions escalate globally, Sam sheds light on alarming trends:Joe Biden’s policies seemingly push the world closer to war.Congress neglects its constitutional duty to declare war, leaving unchecked power in the hands of the president.The Pentagon’s misleading claims about U.S. troops and airstrikes in Syria expose deeper issues.Sam urges Trump to resist the influence of deep-state bankers who profit from conflict and to reject war-driven agendas. Instead, he advocates for a humble foreign policy rooted in the principles of George Washington and Ron Paul.

Critics argue these visas harm American workers, while supporters, like Sam, Vivek, and Elon, see them as essential to maintaining competitiveness in high-tech industries.Sam defends Vivek's bold statement that America’s cultural decline and lack of focus on advanced education are the real issues. He argues that while the H1B program shouldn't be permanent, shutting it down overnight would lead to disastrous consequences, including a technology and education crisis. Instead, Sam calls for reforming America’s education system to cultivate homegrown talent and ensure future competitiveness.Should we phase out H1B visas? Yes, but only with a well-thought-out plan. Sam breaks it all down in this Liberty Roundtable short.

Government Waste Exposed: Rand Paul’s Festivus Report Reveals $1 Trillion in SpendingSenator Rand Paul has unveiled his 10th annual Festivus Report, shedding light on over $1 trillion in outrageous government waste. From funding projects like "cocaine for rats" to bizarre expenditures on "ice skating drag queens," the report exposes a staggering misuse of taxpayer dollars.Sam Bushman breaks it down, calling out both Congress and the President for enabling this reckless spending.

God save the Republic!

Reclaiming the Panama Canal: A National Security Priority Donald Trump has called for reclaiming the Panama Canal, citing exorbitant fees on American ships and the growing influence of the Chinese Communist Party in its operations. Trump highlighted that while the canal was initially turned over to Panama, the U.S. has not been treated fairly, undermining the original intent of the transfer. Sam agrees, asserting that the Panama Canal is a critical national security asset that should never have been given away. He emphasizes that Congress—not former President Carter—holds the authority to make such decisions. With the canal now under Panama’s control and heavily influenced by foreign powers, Sam believes it’s time to take action. Sam also references *Path Between the Seas* by David McCullough, a comprehensive look at the canal’s history and significance. While Sam questions whether the canal should have been built in the first place, he insists that since it exists, it must be under U.S. control to safeguard both trade and security. He applauds Trump’s stance, urging Americans to support efforts to reclaim the Panama Canal for the benefit of national security and economic stability.

Donald Trump, Debt Ceiling, and the Federal Reserve: What’s the Real Solution?Donald Trump recently wrote on Truth Social, “Congress must get rid of or extend out to at least 2029 the ridiculous debt ceiling.” Sam strongly disagrees. If we’re serious about reducing government spending, extending the debt ceiling isn’t the answer. Instead, Sam argues we should turn to honest, constitutional currency as outlined in the U.S. Constitution.For 111 years, the Federal Reserve has betrayed Americans with its fiat money system—printing $100 bills for just 2.5 cents and charging interest on it, ensuring perpetual debt. Sam says this is a scam of historic proportions, and until we abolish the Federal Reserve, true fiscal responsibility is impossible.Sam calls on Donald Trump and all leaders in Washington to stop the lies, embrace honesty, and restore constitutional currency based on gold and silver. The American people deserve leadership that fights for integrity and transparency.

111 Years of the Federal Reserve: Time for Honest MoneyDecember 23, 1913—a day of infamy in American history. On this date, President Woodrow Wilson signed the Federal Reserve Act into so-called "law," creating an unconstitutional and unaccountable central banking system. For 111 years, the Federal Reserve has undermined our economy, fueled runaway spending, and strayed far from the principles of honest money.Sam argues it’s time for bold action. Donald Trump has called for addressing runaway spending, but Sam says the only real solution is to abolish the Federal Reserve and return to constitutional currency: gold and silver. Honest money is the key to reining in spending and restoring fiscal accountability.While we can’t prosecute those responsible for creating this unconstitutional system, Sam believes we can forgive the past and focus on the future. This Christmas season, he calls for a return to the principles that built our nation: honesty, integrity, and accountability.

Free Speech in Jeopardy? Florida Woman Arrested for Controversial CommentBrianna Boston, a Florida woman, was arrested after allegedly ending a call with her insurance company by saying, "Delay, Deny, Depose, you people are next!" Authorities claim her statement mirrored phrases tied to a past violent incident, sparking her arrest.Sam dives into the controversy: Was Brianna’s statement inappropriate? Absolutely. But was it a criminal threat? Sam argues it wasn’t. Free speech allows people to say foolish or inflammatory things, as long as they don’t constitute a "true threat." Legal experts point out that political hyperbole, no matter how upsetting, is protected under the First Amendment.Sam questions the broader implications of this case: Is free speech at risk? He emphasizes the importance of accountability and transparency—not just in government but also in the private sector, like insurance companies. Sam calls for honoring contracts, fostering honesty, and protecting our rights to free expression.Will you stand with Sam to defend free speech and demand integrity in America?

Back in June 2024, Tennessee called for 31 days of prayer and fasting. Did you hear about it? Likely not, because the mainstream press didn’t cover it. Liberty Counsel highlighted the effort, but it largely flew under the radar. Sam revisits this now, 6 months later, as we approach a potential new administration under Donald Trump. He believes we have a unique opportunity to follow Tennessee’s inspiring example. Imagine if Trump, even before taking office, called for a national 31 days of prayer and fasting. While he can’t make policy changes yet, Trump is already answering public questions, shaping policy, and preparing for leadership. Sam envisions all 50 states coming together for a month of prayer and fasting—promoting God, family, freedom, and prosperity. Such a movement could unite the nation and be a beacon of hope for the world. Let’s stand together and urge Donald Trump to lead this initiative, inspired by Tennessee’s example. Will you join Sam in making this call?

Chinese Hacking Group "Salt Typhoon" Breaches U.S. TelecommunicationsA national security crisis is unfolding as "Salt Typhoon," a Chinese state-backed hacking group, infiltrates vast portions of U.S. telecommunications infrastructure. Active since 2022, this group has conducted an extensive espionage campaign, stealing metadata from major telecom customers and even intercepting calls and content from select users. High-level officials are not spared, raising alarms about the vulnerability of sensitive communications.Sam sheds light on this alarming breach, emphasizing its seriousness while drawing comparisons to past government overreach. He reminds us that George W. Bush authorized domestic surveillance, creating backdoors that are now being exploited by foreign adversaries like the CCP.This situation highlights a stark reality: the same tools once used by the U.S. to spy on its citizens are now being turned against us. Sam asks if Donald Trump will rise to the challenge and reform this broken system. Or will "we the people" remain subject to abuse and betrayal by foreign and domestic powers?It’s time for action. Sam urges Americans to take a stand, push back, and reclaim control of our privacy and national security.

FBI Director Christopher Wray Resigns—Finally, Goodbye!Sam dives into the news of FBI Director Christopher Wray resigning before the inauguration, and he couldn’t be happier to say goodbye! Singing, "Na Na Na Na, Hey Hey Hey, Goodbye," Sam is ready for change. Deputy Director Paul Abbate is expected to fill the role temporarily, but the spotlight is on Trump’s pick to lead the FBI: Kash Patel.Sam proudly endorses Kash Patel, praising him as a tough, no-nonsense leader already making waves in Congress. But Sam has a bigger vision—turning the FBI into a relic of history. He advocates for a reimagined FBI dedicated to supporting the over 3,000 local county sheriffs who uphold the Constitution, respect jurisdictional boundaries, and protect the rights of their citizens.Sam says it’s time for real reform, and he’s 1,000% behind Kash Patel and President Trump in their efforts to bring accountability and justice back to the forefront.

Dark and underhanded, Congress failed to finalize the funding bill just days before the deadline.Sam focuses on this issue, hoping for a new era. Will Republicans pass an Omnibus spending bill to delay the budget debate until Donald Trump takes office, forcing them to address it again in 100 days? Sam predicts yes, but prays for a no.Sam believes Trump’s approach should be bold: Make Joe Biden own the government shutdown. Close it down, and then go through each line item, funding only those that align with the Constitution. Unconstitutional programs should be ended immediately or have sunset provisions, with an eventual plan for removal.The goal is to avoid crashing the system but ensure a steady path toward constitutional governance. This puts the failure on Biden and gives Trump the chance to build the most constitutional government in modern history. It’s a huge opportunity, and Sam is ready to support Trump in making it a reality.

Trump Spills the Truth About Mystery DronesDonald Trump dropped a bombshell during a recent interview in Palm Beach, Florida, addressing the mystery drones seen over New Jersey and other locations. When asked about them, he said: "The government knows what's happening... Our military knows, and our President knows. For some reason, they want to keep people in suspense."Trump's comments raise big questions. Why isn't the government being honest about these drones? Sam believes they know exactly what's going on but are keeping the public in the dark.He also highlights the Biden Administration's lack of transparency, accusing them of deception, manipulation, and cover-ups. Meanwhile, Trump's remarks suggest he's aware of the full story. Are these drones from offshore ships? A hidden source? The government knows—and Trump hints they may not be the threat some fear.When asked for more details, Trump all but confirmed he'd been briefed but chose not to comment further. Could this be a sign of bigger truths to come?Sam believes Trump may hold critical information and hopes it will surface as facts. Could this signal a shift toward transparency in a future administration?Imagine a government that prioritizes truth over secrecy.

Sam Exposes the Truth About Alcohol and Cancer RisksSam discusses a new scientific report debunking the long-held belief that moderate drinking is good for your health. For decades, the idea of "a glass of wine or a beer being heart-healthy" has been pushed, but now science shows it might be completely false.The report highlights rising rates of breast and colorectal cancer in adults under 50, with alcohol and tobacco use likely playing a significant role. Sam shares his simple advice for a healthy life: regular exercise, clean and wholesome food, no added sugar, no alcohol, no tobacco, and quality sleep.Sam reminds us not to blindly trust the "science knows best" narrative, but instead, follow God’s guidance: “Moderation in all things.” Trust in divine wisdom to care for your body, your family, and your longevity.

Sam Weighs In on Hunter Biden’s PardonSam reacts to Judge Andrew Napolitano’s article, "Three Cheers for Hunter Biden’s Pardon," with surprise but agrees with some points. Napolitano defends the pardon as constitutional, and Sam explains why he wouldn’t prosecute Hunter for his gun or tax charges.For the gun charge, Sam believes there shouldn’t have been a federal form in the first place, as it infringes on the Second Amendment. On the tax issue, Sam calls the IRS a corrupt organization that should be abolished. He argues neither case meets the criteria of a real crime: no victim, no harm, and no legitimate authority.However, Sam strongly believes Hunter should be prosecuted for pay-to-play schemes and high crimes tied to foreign nations—actions that implicate Joe Biden as "criminal number one." Sam calls for accountability and urges Americans to push for real justice.
