Why do Republicans promise change after losing power instead of delivering while they have it? Sam Bushman and Dr. Scott Bradley challenge GOP leadership, question the influence of political donors, and argue for putting the Constitution ahead of party loyalty.
The conversation examines the risk of escalating conflict with Iran, the economic costs of war, and what oil prices and shipping disruptions could signal. The hosts also discuss leadership ethics, tech industry oversight, and congressional accountability, including their commentary on allegations involving public figures.
The episode closes with a reflection on the Founding Fathers’ sacrifices and why preserving liberty requires informed citizens, peaceful action, and ongoing vigilance.
