Blue Wave or Broken Promises? | 11-12-26

Did voters embrace Democrats, or were they punishing Republicans for failing to deliver? Sam Bushman and Curt Crosby debate that question and discuss what it would take to rebuild public trust before 2028.

This Liberty Round Table episode also examines media coverage of President Trump, a disputed Federal Reserve conversation, RFK Jr.’s health agenda, and who should pay for large data centers. The hosts offer their perspectives on Lake Powell, weather headlines, and the role of faith before closing with a discussion of election transparency and public records.

At the center of the conversation: political promises mean little without measurable results and accountability.

[00:00:04] Broadcasting live from atop the Rocky Mountains, the crossroads of the West. You are listening to the Liberty Roundtable Radio Talk Show. Jim Jordan, Americans, Kirk Crosby, Donald Trump, Mr. Wong. It's all in the news, ladies and gentlemen. Happy to have you along. I'm Sam Bushman.

[00:00:32] Yeah, NVIDIA CEO Jensen Huang had to resign. Colette Kress, I think is how you say her name. Colette Kress took over. She's been with the company for a long time, though, so that's not a big change. The real problem is that he's a sad bunch of affairs. We pray that he can repent and change and patch things up with his family. There is life after huge mistakes. Ask David in the Bible if you don't believe me.

[00:01:00] And the real message, we don't want to pile on and attack this guy. It's tragic. I hope national security issues aren't at stake. Congress will be looking into that. In the meantime, we hope he can take care of what he needs to most, which is get his spiritual life in order, ladies and gentlemen. Cleanse the inner vessel, if you will. We also talked about AI agents brought down. A wind farm within two hours. Technology can be used for good or for bad. And we pray that it's used for good.

[00:01:25] And this NVIDIA scandal, you know, in my mind only increases the chance that it will be used for wrong purposes. And I pray that doesn't happen. You know, I want all nations to be great again. Look, I want China to be great. I want Russia to be great. I want the Ukraine to be great. I want the Philippines. I want, you know, Japan. I want America. I want everybody to be great again. And the best way to be great again is to follow God. God's the only great one. And the more we follow God, the greater we'll become. I know we're not God.

[00:01:54] I'm just telling you that if we follow in his footsteps and, well, let's just say this. The Savior says, come follow me. I think the more serious we take that, the better off we are. We don't have Heath Perkins with us, ladies and gentlemen. He's out with business. But we do want to give you the honest money report, ladies and gentlemen. Gold's at $38.92, so it's down quite a bit. Great time to buy gold. Silver, $51 approximately. So get your gold and silver today. And our partner to get that done is freewatercoinco.com. Tell them you love them.

[00:02:24] Tell them we sent them. And have their knowledge over 50-plus years of combined knowledge to help you know what's best for your precious metals. We also talked about a 28% increased risk for women, cancer risk, breast cancer risk, women who eat sugar more than twice a week. And I think that's a true story. We know that sugar is not good for your body, and this is just more evidence of that. However, I would ask Bobby Kennedy and company, you know what?

[00:02:49] Do some honey and do some stevia extract and some other studies like that to parallel man-made, man-manipulated, or whatever you want to call it, processed sugar, and see what the Lord can do. You know, regular fruit sugar or monk fruit. Some of these other kind of things are just tremendous. Let's just add that to the mix. Bobby Kennedy, get her done.

[00:03:07] Now, Bobby Kennedy also saying that now that some of the Republicans are out of the way who have been stopping him and threatening him from some of his agenda items, you know, now that they're out of the way, there's a greater chance to move forward with the Bobby Kennedy food agenda. And I would say, you know what? Bring it. Let's do it. Sadly, many Republicans have been in the way of Trump and Bobby Kennedy and others. I've mentioned that for quite a long time. And now, the truth is, Bobby Kennedy is doubling down and saying that, too. So is Ron DeSantis and others.

[00:03:35] Jim Jordan got elected as the minority leader now. Wish they would have done that on Democrat time. I wish they'd spend every second now to prove what they can do in 2028 and give people a snapshot of what they'd really get done. They've got 60. Well, they had 60 days. Now, they've got less than that to really double down and make a difference. Hopefully, they'll work during Christmas and work during all these different times. They've taken so many vacations. Let's go to work and show the American people what you're really made of and what you really want to do. It's an opportunity of a lifetime.

[00:04:04] And Jim Jordan warned Americans to brace for a third impeachment of the Donald. He says they just can't help themselves. And, boy, is he right on that reality check. Senate takes up a bill that would make large data centers. You know, they're expensive. So the bill is to make a lot of these companies that will benefit from them, the NVIDIAs, the billion-dollar folks, Elon Musk's and company to pay for it, not dump it on the taxpayer via these bonds and pids. And all these other things. And I aim into that. Fed chair shows public calendar.

[00:04:34] Shows no record of rape conversation. Trump described. I don't know how to respond to this because Donald Trump said he had a rape discussion. And Federal Reserve chair Kevin Warsh basically said, no, I didn't have a meeting with Trump. No call on the calendar. Trump said he spoke with Warsh about how to deal with the September 8th meeting.

[00:05:02] And the Fed said that its published calendar, you know, reflects the meetings and the calls and everything else. And I will say this from past history. When Donald Trump tells you that he talked to that guy in the mainstream press and the Federal Reserve says, no, we don't show a record of that. They didn't say they didn't meet. They just said we don't have it on our calendar and we don't show a record, Kurt. And I'm telling you from experience, you'll find out that later there'll be an omission that Donald did meet with him. You just watch.

[00:05:30] But I'm just telling you from experience, oftentimes what they want to do is just cast negative on Donald. Oh, Donald's lying. Kevin said he didn't meet with Donald. And Donald babbling to the mouth again and said that he met with. You'll find out that he probably did. And they're not saying they didn't meet. He's just saying, oh, it wasn't on our calendar. I don't think I met with him. I'm not, you know. You know, and I'm just telling you this, nothing has been official until it's been denied. This is one of those examples. I bet Trump did meet with him. I don't think Trump's talking out of the left side of his mouth. I think he really met with him.

[00:05:58] And they just don't want to admit that there was a meeting. So very interesting from the Fed's side of this discussion, Kurt. Couldn't agree more. And, you know, you're exactly right on how you've analyzed it, I believe. And yet the, you know, the truth will come out on page B67 or something like that. It pulls out, right? And you find out later that Donald was telling you it right. Yeah, and it'll come out right on the big headlines on page B67 or whatever.

[00:06:28] Yeah, but we watch the news carefully, and I'm just telling you. That's right. You know, they'll be like, remember 14 months ago when Donald said this? Well, actually, we got new information. He really did. No, he didn't get new information. He just lied. Now you got caught lying, so you're forced to report it so that you can create your credibility record. That's all that happened, people. Mm-hmm. That's why I was Donald and some of these other people would fund the new media taking center stage. We could really use that, Kurt. Well, yeah, exactly. And, you know, there's some folks that are working on plans to try to get that to happen.

[00:06:58] One of the things I wanted to ask you about, Sam, was lately they say the New York Times said that President Trump was just kind of relaxing around, and he just decided to call into a C-SPAN show. Have you heard about that? Relaxing around? Yeah, he was just kind of, you know, what should I do today? Maybe I'll call into a talk show host.

[00:07:20] Anyway, according to President Trump on Truth Social, he says the New York Times incorrectly reported that Mr. Trump, this is their quote, quote, Mr. Trump called in to the premiere of a C-SPAN show apparently without notice, end quote. And he said, this is wrong. It was a fully scheduled call as a favor to C-SPAN set up through White House communications. It was done at C-SPAN's request, not mine.

[00:07:49] The Times knew this but lied in order to demean. But this is the least of their lies. Yes. Yeah, so they're trying to make it like Donald has nothing better to do. He's just better, derelict and walking around. They act like he's Joe Biden. I don't mean to be rude to Joe. I'm just saying that's the truth. Joe did that kind of stuff. And everybody is now admitting it. Even Joe says if I knew I had cancer, I wouldn't have ran for the second time. Well, his doctors knew he had cancer, whether, you know, he knew it or not is another topic.

[00:08:17] But all I'm telling you is, look, President Trump, whether you like the guy or dislike the guy, the fact is he works everybody else into the ground. You cannot deny that. Just watch him on the campaign trail if you don't believe what I'm talking about. This guy's driving through McDonald's, making a hamburger at McDonald's because he loves McDonald's, buying a staff meals and then rolling on to the next event kind of stuff. And feeding everybody else there, too. Yeah. This guy's after it. Again, whether you like or don't like Donald Trump, you cannot beat him up on his work ethic.

[00:08:44] The guy works us into the ground and he's 80-plus years old for crying out loud. I mean, you can't. So this idea that he's lazy and derelict and doesn't know what he's doing and he just runs around the White House all mad watching CNN. And, OK, it isn't true. Now, does he watch some of those things? I'm sure he does. But they make it sound like that's all he does. And that's where the lie starts, right? Good point, Sam. I'm sure he watches some of those things. I mean, he obviously is up on them. Yeah. I'm not saying that he doesn't watch them, but there's nothing wrong with watching them. Yeah.

[00:09:14] If I was the president, I'd watch him, too. By the way, there's some big, I don't know what you want to call them, La Nino, El Nino, whatever you call these things. The weather news. Big old things happening. The weather news, yeah. Yeah, I know. First one, Lake Powell rises more than 20 feet after Southwest flooding. They say that the reservoir on the Utah-Arizona border, I guess it rose over 20 feet, but they say it remains just over a quarter full.

[00:09:43] And that most of it's launch boat, whatever you want to call it, docks are still unusable and everything else. You can raise that thing 20 feet and still be that low, Kurt. It's insane. It is amazing, though, what has happened lately. And, you know, I guess it's because all those hydrologists, you know, those experts in water got together and thought, hey, we'll come up with a new plan, you know. Here's where it's supposed to be. Yeah. Look, according to us, here's where the water's supposed to be, Kurt.

[00:10:13] Mm-hmm. Now, isn't it a man-made lake? Yeah. And there's somebody that's in charge of the water. Yeah, so when you make a man-made lake, you decide how full it's supposed to be. And then you also decide, you know, how much, you know, you just command the water to appear there, Kurt. Yeah, that's right. I mean, it's a little bit weird. That's right. Just turn on your hose and fill that up. Anyway, very weird. But all I can say is we do need more rain. We're grateful to the Almighty for the rain we've got.

[00:10:41] The ultimate weatherman can take care of this without catastrophe. And I know people don't want to hear this, but I'm going to have to just deliver it. You've got to keep his commandments, though. Yeah, imagine that. It's kind of part of the biblical deal, right, Kurt? Oh, Sam, there you go. I mean, imagine that. I'm just saying it's a biblical deal. He says if you keep my commandments, you know, I'll go ahead and turn that down, Liz. That's right. Anyway, all I can tell you is very strange. I don't know what's going on with that, but people just don't understand.

[00:11:11] I mean, he really says, hey, if you repent, keep my commandments, nothing else, I'll heal your land. Do you think that has to do with the weather, Kurt? I do, Sam. And, I mean, what I find interesting on this Lake Powell news, you know, like there's an article from the Baltimore Sun. Baltimore's not right next to Lake Powell, Sam. That's a little ways east. Well, they've got cameras there watching from afar, Kurt.

[00:11:34] It says, from the Baltimore Sun, Lake Powell in Utah rises more than 21 feet since historic low in mid-South. Hey, Larry, is your camera covered in water? Mine's not. I mean, it's just amazing. Those guys, I mean, I'm grateful for the coverage, I guess, but I find it interesting. Water coverage? Yeah. Good point. Yeah, they're talking about it.

[00:12:03] Newsweek, Lake Powell, Deadpool, fears, ease slightly. So, you know, you kind of wonder, though, should there be a big, massive body of water there in the beginning when man put it there, right? Well, you know, and yet, you know, there's the guys who want to just drain the whole sucker, you know? Well, and I don't want to do that, and I'm not against putting lakes there. What I'm saying, though, is man put a lake there, and then they're like, hey, God's not filling this thing the way he's supposed to.

[00:12:31] As if you're going to advise God about, you know, how full it ought to be and everything else. I mean, it's just bizarre. The whole thing's bizarre. But then they go to this next story, which I believe kind of catapults on top of it or makes the point even further. Central Pacific Ocean temperatures set daily records for 165 straight days, Kurt.

[00:12:52] Water temperatures in the central Pacific, where El Nino is measured, a 6.3 degrees, sir, above average. And that's, you know, hey, surpasses the previous recorded 2015 totals. Yes, and this is serious. Now, what I don't understand is this. How long have they been watching these temperatures, first of all? Oh, seriously.

[00:13:19] Secondly, just because there's an average temperature number, just like the morning and the evening, heat and cool every day. There's 24-hour cycles. There's, I mean, I don't know if you ever had winter, spring, summer, and fall, but there's, you know, annual cyclical realities. And I think that there's greater possible, you know, God might have a greater cyclical thing than that. And so there might be warming and cooling on a larger scale that we haven't tapped into or understand yet.

[00:13:45] And so when we say that it's 6 degrees above the average, they're acting like, and this is my problem with it. It's not one thing to report it. That's fine. But when you report it the way they do, they're kind of acting like, hey, man, this thing's out in the weeds. We've been telling you this. And it's 6 degrees above where it's supposed to be. There's a big problem here. There isn't a problem, Kurt. Yep. Well, you know, I'll say this. There's one guy that's kind of grateful that the ocean is a little warmer.

[00:14:14] And that's that guy that fell off the ship from Royal Caribbean, you know. He lived, too, huh? Yeah. I mean, I guess they say he was treading water for like nine hours. Whoa. I mean, that's a good water treader guy. Well, and it's hard to tread water in the ocean like that, dude. The waves and the swells and everything. Man, I'm surprised he doesn't have a belly full of water and puking. Yeah. I'm just nine hours, man. I'm just grateful the guy lived, though.

[00:14:42] Yeah, I guess some guys found him. You know, they say according to the Coast Guard, the man was found conscious. Yeah, not unconscious. You know, but this is a piece from the NBC Connecticut guys. I mean, you know, they're covering the news, Sam, Royal Caribbean. I found it interesting, the Royal Caribbean, all they had to say was,

[00:15:09] well, we're trying to take care of our crew member at this time, you know. I mean, no real action on what in the world was he doing? I mean, how did he jump off? I mean, it would be nice to know. It's great that he lived and all that kind of stuff. But, man, just bizarre kind of stuff. Then they say this. National Weather Service forecasts snow in the Northeast and blizzard conditions in the Sierra Nevadas.

[00:15:40] Wait a minute. I was going to say this weekend, buddy. I mean, it's just going to get rowdy, buddy. Going to have snow in November? Hmm. Yes, sir. I mean, that's just crazy talk. These guys are going way out there, Sam. Now, they say the forecast expects rain across the Northeast today into Friday, accumulating snow in higher elevations of New York, northern New England.

[00:16:05] They also say heavy snow lake effect in Michigan, upper peninsula and blizzard conditions at higher elevations of the Sierra Nevadas. And I just kind of look at that and I go, I mean, that's good to let us know about it, but it's not rocket science and it's not out of line. And I pray that, you know, I mean, I don't want crazy weather to where people suffer and die or anything, but I'm all about letting the snow happen in the mountains. That's where we get our water. You know, they want that reservoir more than a quarter full. What is it going to take to make that happen, Kurt?

[00:16:34] The garden hose ain't going to get it done. Right? You need the Lord to bring rain and snow. And isn't that the natural way the Lord makes sure the water is where the people need it most? And one of the best things I know you can do is plant trees. And when you plant a lot of trees, then trees actually, you know, I don't know what you want to call it. The trees seek water. The water seek trees. I don't know. But I know this. Whenever you plant a lot of trees, the water seems to, under the earth, gravitate towards where it's needed.

[00:17:04] You know, that's modern day. We don't understand how that works, Kurt. But I'm just telling you, it's, you know, part of God's plan. Did you know that? Well, imagine that, Sam. Hmm. Pretty cool. Trees, water. I mean, yeah. Well, you heard, I don't know if you heard about it, but the Kraken is going to be released, Sam. Again, at least we were hoping Sidney Powell would release the Kraken.

[00:17:34] And she did her best, I think. Well, what do you expect when just criminal judges just shut you down and yank your law degree unconstitutionally and immorally and that has to be overturned later, but the damage is already done? That kind of stuff. That's right. They crack down on the Kraken. But in this case, the RFK Jr. is saying the Kraken is back or the new Kraken is Stephen Miller, Sam. He's a 41-year-old guy.

[00:18:03] They call him the member of the Kennedy-led Maha Commission, but he's now taken over for Suzy Wiles. And, you know, if you... I couldn't welcome this more, Kurt. Suzy Wiles was a clown. Well, at least I never heard much from her, but, you know, the thing I really like... Suzy is, in my opinion, criminal operator behind the scenes. That's why. Oh, well, anyway, I really like what I've seen from Stephen Miller. I mean, he's a bulldog of a guy.

[00:18:30] And she stopped Trump from doing so many good things that he could have done. I think she personally, her and Congress are the two parties that really shut down and deep-stated the Trump agenda. I believe that this guy will bring back a lot of good, Kurt. Very good. So, anyway, I'm hoping that at least RFK's hoping that... RFK Jr., that is. Hoping that Miller and him, they can really work on this Maha thing together. And I have one response to them.

[00:18:59] What can I do to help, gentlemen? Yeah, go to work, baby. Yeah. All right. Democrat Scott Collins wins Mississippi U.S. Senate race. Sidney Hyde-Smith, the Republican's gone now. And so you've just got more and more Democrat support and control. And I've said this to Richard Mack, and I'll say it to you, Kurt. Everybody believes this is a blue wave where, man, everybody wanted to vote socialist and blue. And this is an absolute rout for the Republicans and an absolute mandate for the Democrats.

[00:19:28] And that's what the mainstream press liars tell you. I don't think it's like that at all, Kurt. What do you think? I think that the people wanted to basically punish the Republicans for not delivering on their promises. I think that's true. But that doesn't mean they want to go into blue stuff. It just means whenever you don't keep your promises in its midterms, historically, hey, they get beat. People are not voting for something. They're voting against something. You say, Sam, what proof do you have for that? Well, historically, it's proven that that happens, number one.

[00:19:57] But number two, I would say this. The proof in the pudding is you've got to look at South Dakota. It didn't go blue at all. It stayed hard red. Okay? You've got to look at Wyoming. It stayed pretty red. You look at Florida. It stayed pretty red. And you'd be like, well, those are red states already. I know. But if it was a blue wave, like they're saying, a mandate from everywhere, it didn't happen in those three places. And then you've got to ask why. Well, because people are mad. People have been betrayed more in some states than in others. You look at California. Yeah, they're blue as all get out, right?

[00:20:26] But they rejected that billionaire tax big time. They're like, that's insane. We'll lose all our jobs. We don't want to do that. And so you can find item after item after item where they didn't vote blue to vote blue. They voted against red. That's for sure. But it isn't the mandate that they're saying. So the reason I bring all this up is I think what the Republicans need to do in their little window of lame duck Congress right now is they need to deliver and say, this is a snapshot of what we'll do in 28. Give us the opportunity.

[00:20:54] And then they need to go ahead and put an agenda, a plan together. And if they need me to write it, call me. I know you guys can't write plans over there in Congress, but I can write one for you. And I'll write a plan for you guys. And what we'll do is what will we do? And believe it or not, I think Newt Gingrich was on the right track back in 96 when he created the Republican freshman revolution contract with America. The only mistake he made was cheating on his wife and all that kind of stuff, and it tanked the whole thing.

[00:21:21] So NVIDIA and Newt Gingrich and everybody else, you know, David of the Bible. Don't do it. Let that be your guide. Don't do that. But if you put together a good plan, I think people will rally to it, Kurt. I really do. And I think the proof is in the pudding. Well, yeah, exactly. And, you know, along that line, at least analyzing the election, I was looking to what I'd call America's expert when it comes to the elections and things.

[00:21:51] And Mike Lindell, you know, he had this quote to say after the recent election. He says, you and I both know what we witnessed on November 3rd was far from organic. Now, he's not talking about food or whatever like that. He's just saying that, you know, at least he's still got these voting machines, Sam. And I wish I could say, man, I'm sure they got those all cleaned up.

[00:22:18] But I still have lots of questions about those computers. Amen. Well, this is where you could start right now, though, and start really working on that, showing that you're serious. And if, again, within the 2020 election until the 2026 midterms, we didn't do as much as we should have and did. Trump tried to do a lot of good and good for him for it. But we need real backing from Congress and real backing from the states and real backing from good Americans that demand their sheriffs investigate. And, you know, what we need to do is demonstrate. Look what we've accomplished.

[00:22:47] We're going to have an honest election in 2028 because of our efforts. We're going to move to the precinct level. We're going to jettison party politics, the precinct level. We don't need parties. We just need Americans that know each other, that, you know, hey, we can stop the illegals from voting. Okay? We can make a difference. And the more we can document real, solid, genuine progress towards what we promise, I'm telling you right now, people will come straight on back. I don't want to say to the Republicans, but to the conservative ideas of America, Kurt. They really will. Yeah.

[00:23:17] I guess Mike said to his supporters there at the Lindell Offense Fund, basically he says wants to demand answers backed by actual election records. I wouldn't agree more. I mean, imagine that, Sam. See, I like Mike. He's a personal friend. He's a great dude. He says contact your county clerk or election administrator.

[00:23:40] Ask how to obtain the legally available voter registration rolls, voter participation history, and election reconciliation reports. These reports are available to the public, and although it will be challenging for some states, counties to get this information, we encourage you to stay the course and do not give up. Now, the mainstream press wants you to believe that Mike Lindell is just nothing but a clown show. So these clown media, it's all how they portray him, folks. Don't believe it for one second.

[00:24:10] He's doing a lot of good for the elections. Trump believes in him. So do I. He's not perfect. He's a human too, but he's made more differences than almost anybody else I know in this arena, and good for him for doing it. All right. Thanks for being alongside for the ride.
