[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. All right. Happy to have you along, my fellow Americans, Sam Bushman, Dr. Scott Bradley, freedomsrisingsun.com. We're talking about his incredible weekly webinar taking place Thursday nights at 7 p.m. Mountain.
[00:00:28] They discuss all things liberty, constitutional questions and more. And it's really things that the audience brings up, not Sam's opinion or Scott. You know, it's what, you know, the average people want to talk about. Pretty interesting webinars available at freedomsrisingsun.com to get your ticket to participate. Otherwise, watch it later on Rumble and BitChute at several different places under the term freedoms call. Look for it. Check it out.
[00:00:55] But a couple of the questions last night had to do with impeachment. And the big question is, one, hey, is Donald going to get impeached again if the midterms should find the Democrats victorious? And secondly, hey, can senators be impeached? Great questions, doctor. Well, Trump himself has brought up the specter, if you will, of being impeached if the Democrats win the House and the Senate, particularly the House.
[00:01:23] And he has been actually impeached twice in his life. And since he's come into the presidency now, there's been other efforts within the House that have been put forth by Democrats. Some of them have actually reached a vote and there's been, you know, there's been very little chance. Impeachment is an indictment. It's not anything other than we're saying you did these bad things.
[00:01:50] Then it goes to the Senate and it gets tried. But I think that the way it's been going, even with the Republicans running the House, there have been enough Democrat overtures to, you know, initiate impeachment again. And that if the Democrats do take over the House, I think it's extremely likely and probably almost a foregone conclusion. In fact, I almost think at least once a month he'll be impeached. I mean, it'll be that precipitous for it.
[00:02:19] And then, of course, it would go to the Senate. Now, the Senate, it takes two thirds in the Senate to convict and remove. And so that kind of turnover in the Senate to get to that level is unlikely. But I'll remind your listeners that back in 1974, the movement had gone far enough with Richard Nixon to scare the pants off Nixon, if you will, to the point that in August he resigned from the presidency.
[00:02:48] He did not want to face actually being removed from office. And so he resigned. Now, there have been a lot of things that are impeachable offenses, in my opinion, that they could have a valid case to be brought forth. And then it would befall the Senate to take action. Now, John Roberts would prevail in being the presiding officer, if you will, in the Senate.
[00:03:15] Normally, the vice president presides in the Senate, but because, you know, it affects the presidency. I mean, the vice president may be sitting there thinking, hey, we get rid of this guy, I'll be president. Or he may be sitting there thinking, I'm going to defend this guy to the death. So they didn't want that conflict to come into the Senate. So they put the chief justice to be the presiding officer when that occurred.
[00:03:40] But Trump has expressed concerns that if they lose the midterms, and I think it's a fear tactic, but I think it's a very valid probability that it will occur. And it will be interesting to watch how often it comes forth. I mean, it'll almost be, you know, one of those, oh, yeah, here we go again this week or whatever, maybe just once a month. I don't know what it'll be. But if you think the last two years of the president's office in this second administration,
[00:04:11] being constantly vexed by impeachment articles, and then maybe even some trials, who knows? I mean, it really is a distraction. And the government will be in absolute breakdown mode. And there's something to be said for that too, I guess. But so there's that issue. And then the other one that you brought up is that Jack Reed of Rhode Island,
[00:04:37] he's a Democrat senator from Rhode Island, commented that the latest proposed memo of understanding, and in fact, in the news break we took at the bottom of the hour, this we're finding people are saying, oh, wait, wait, wait, this is not a good thing. Even quote unquote allies of Trump are saying this. Now, by the way, they're really allies of Israel. These people are Zionists that are in favor of continuing the war on behalf of Israel.
[00:05:04] But nevertheless, Jack Reed of Rhode Island commented that it was not as good as the one Obama had negotiated with Iran. We can talk about that agreement. And I think Jack Reed has a point. He really, truly does. The memo of understanding. He does. So here's the question. Will Trump be impeached then? First off, are the midterms going to go to the Democrats? Number one. Number two, is Trump going to be impeached? Then number three, hey, can we impeach Congress senators?
[00:05:34] Well, I think that the midterms are going to go very poorly for the Republicans. I think that Trump was on his way to some of the, he calls it a legacy or something like this. But this war tipped over the apple cart and it was entered in unconstitutionally. It was continued as he thumbed his nose at Congress. It's been one of those things where, you know, the congressional authority to go to war was completely ignored. It was no sharing of anything. Oh, they talked to the gang of whatever.
[00:06:04] They talked to, I think, seven senators before they started it. But the fact of the matter is they were in Israel's pocket anyway. Anyway, so, yeah, I think that there's, we're in big trouble. I think that there will probably be efforts to impeach Trump after the midterms. And I think the midterms are going to go very poorly. I mean, I've, I'm thinking at least 20 seats in the House will be lost to the Democrats.
[00:06:34] It may go as high as 40. I mean, there, I think that the ripples are going to be unbelievably massive. And, and I'm not so sure that anything can, can turn this back. I think that here we are, we're in June and the midterms are, you know, first week in November. And I think that there's going to be a long club. I mean, we talk about the pain of the gas pumps and so on. Traditionally during the summer, the high travel months,
[00:07:04] the gas prices are a little higher anyway. So even if the Strait of Hormuz opened today, which it will not, by the way, if it opened today and there was free exchange, nobody was any worried about blowing up their ship on a mine or anything like that. It's still going to take months to, to take up the slack on, on what's coming to the world market right now. And in addition to that, like I say, there's a natural tendency for the gas companies to,
[00:07:32] the fuel companies to keep their prices high during the travel months and the summer. So I don't think you're going to see much of a fall off in, even if it ended today until, you know, after Labor Day. And so here we are from that, two months away from the elections. And that's been one of the big bones that everybody's kind of picked. And now the biggest problems are, are still lurking in the, in the shadows, if you will.
[00:07:56] And so it's going to take a while to take the wrinkles out of this on the ironing board, you know? So, yeah, I think that there's going to be a lot of blowback on this. And I do not believe that Trump even conceived of the difficulty and challenges of taking war to a 90 plus million nation, a proud several thousand year old cultural center,
[00:08:23] and the strength militarily and the determination. And he misled it. He misled it. He misread it. Much like, I think, Hitler misread the resolve of the people in Russia to stand with the mother country rather than, I mean, Hitler thought he could kick Stalin over because communism was so unpopular. But Stalin played the card. He said, do this for the mother country. And you know what they did?
[00:08:54] That sleeping dragon or lion or whatever you want to call it was awakened. And it just tore the heck out of, out of Hitler's war machine. So, you know, I think that, yeah, I think there's going to be a bad problem for, for the Republicans. I think that if the Democrats take over, I think that there will be impeachment things. And then to the other point of con-senators be impeached, the answer is a resounding no. And we can tell at length why that is the case.
[00:09:24] There was an attempt, by the way, in, I think it was 1797 to impeach a senator. And it was decided then that, no, you can't. But the solution to getting rid of bad senators, which if Jack Reed of Rhode Island's bad, I mean, just saying the memo of understanding was a bad agreement or a bad approach or whatever, that's all he said. And Trump said he should be impeached.
[00:09:51] Well, okay, so he can't be impeached, number one. You can't recall a senator. So Rhode Island, you know, couldn't say, nope, we're recalling him. That was all decided. Under the Articles of Confederation, the idea of recalling your legislators was allowed. And that was solved.
[00:10:14] Founding father R.R. Livingston of New York made a magnificent presentation on that during the ratification process. But at any rate, you can't. But senators can be removed by the Senate themselves. And so they will make that decision. And it takes two-thirds of the Senate to remove him if that's the case. Maybe that's more information than anybody ever needed. But you can't do what Trump has said. He doesn't understand the Constitution.
[00:10:43] All right, when we get back, what about senators? Should we impeach them? No, you can't. I understand. Let's talk about it. Everybody Roundtable Live.

[00:12:33] All right, back with you live. We just got to impeach them, people say. Problem is, I don't think that we have authority to do that. There's no constitutional provisions for this. There is for the president. There are for some Supreme Court justices and things like that. But the senators and the congressmen are directly elected by the people. Senators ought to be elected by the states, but that's a different topic. But at the end of the day, my point is that you can't just do that. That's not the way it works. You have every six years you can remove a senator, doctor. Well, that's the thing. Elections have consequences.
[00:13:03] I can't tell you how many times during the tenure of Senator Mitt Romney from Utah, I was contacted by people saying, we've got to get rid of this guy. Let's just recall him. Let's just impeach him. And there is no way to do that in the way that people are saying. And that shows the ignorance of Trump in regards to what the Constitution says.
[00:13:28] And so basically the idea is, you know, if you look at Article 1, Section 2, the final clause in that section, it says Congress, the House of Representatives shall have the sole power of impeachment. That means bringing charges. And then if you go over to Section 3 in the first article, Senate shall have the sole power to try impeachments. Okay, so impeachments are brought, charges are brought by the House that goes to the Senate and so on.
[00:13:54] The Senate themselves have the right to do what needs to be done. And if you go over to Section 5 of Article 1, it says, each House, that means the House and the Senate, may determine the rules of its proceedings, punish its members for disorderly behavior, and with the concurrence of two-thirds, expel a member. So the Senate, and the House has done this recently a number of times,
[00:14:19] that either House can say, look, this person is not anybody we want to associate with. We're going to expel them. When you get to two-thirds, you kick them out. But there is not an impeachment process for legislators. And actually, there was an attempt, like I say, made, I believe, in 1797 to, quote-unquote, impeach a senator. And they said, no, this process does not apply to senators.
[00:14:46] But there is a process by which they can be rid of a bad senator. But the fact of the matter is, Jack Reed only said out loud what some of Trump's closest friends and associates and supporters have been saying. This thing that's going on right now is really crummy.
[00:15:08] And this, the JCPOA, the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action, I mean, it was, we had so many people on board. Iran was, you know, agreed to, and the five permanent members of the United States, I mean, the United Nations Security Council, you know, China, France, Russia, the UK, the United States, Germany, the European Union.
[00:15:33] In fact, almost everybody thought that this JCPOA was a pretty good idea, except for Israel and Saudi Arabia, and some of the Republicans, and Trump tears it up. And everything that they're saying they're going to talk about with this memo of understanding was covered by the JCPOA.
[00:15:54] And Trump has admitted that they're going to probably send, or at least open the floodgates for tens of billions of dollars of Iran's money. It's money that's been trapped by the sanctions to be released to Iran. $300 billion, they say, will be paid by Iran's neighbors as reparations to Iran.
[00:16:19] I mean, this thing will, I mean, if they thought they had a really good deal for Iran by the JCPOA, hey, this is going to really, really unleash some things that's a wish list for Iran. So all Jack Reed did of Rhode Island was say, hey, this is not as good a deal. Trump wants to impeach him. And Trump's closest allies and friends, I mean, they're all Zionists in the House and the Senate.
[00:16:48] So at the end of the day, folks, you can impeach the president. You can't impeach senators. It's just not the way the Constitution is written. It's not the way that it works. It's not the way that it was intended. And that's the problem. So there you have that. Were people at risk of attack, doctor, when they attended the White House big old fight on the White House lawn? See, I was against that fight. I don't have any problem with boxing or martial arts if you want to do that in your private lives. That's fine.
[00:17:15] But for the president of the United States and for it to be our big 250 promotion when we're trying to promote peace around the world to highlight a fight on the White House lawn or whatever else, it seems to me like blood sport that we ought not be involved in. So in my opinion, it was ill-advised in the first place. But I digress. The fact is that they claim that, hey, people were at big risk and the FBI saved us all. Is it true, doctor? What do you think? Well, there's a lot of things in this quote-unquote revelation that really in my mind don't add up.
[00:17:43] I think, in fact, it stinks. The question was, was this kind of a false flag kind of, oh, ain't it awful? We're all going to die. That was related to the effort to instill fear that the FISA 702 was not reauthorized, expired on June 12th. And so here we have two days later, oh, my goodness, we're all going to die. This whole thing is going to be under attack. Some bubba's from all over the country.
[00:18:09] I think there were guys living in their basements of their parents' and grandparents' home. And they were playing some kind of, you know, I mean, social media kind of nonsense. And they say that he's neighboring. So were people at risk? Say again? Were people at risk, do you think? No, no, no, no, no. Here's the deal. These guys didn't even make the effort to drive or bring anything to the area, you know, to Washington or Virginia or Maryland, anything like that.
[00:18:37] Yeah, but we get a big win when we tell you the FBI saved us, buddy. We talked about, you know, the FBI getting rid of their headquarters and moving out to the states and decentralizing and reducing and getting rid of the clowns in the FBI. And now all we see really is a strengthening of the FBI. Now all they're doing before the midterms is trying to say, hey, we're the FBI, we're the rock stars. And they've literally changed nothing. They've really actually doubled down in concentrated power as far as I can see. So there you have that one.
[00:19:05] And does Trump want the UCMCA to go away? You know, I saw a Tarmac interview he did. Or USMCA, I should say. Sorry. USMCA. It's not the United States Marine Corps. No. It's the United States-Mexico-Canada agreement. So USMCA. And in a Tarmac interview, he said he would rather not have the SMCA. They're having a little trouble. He's the one that created it, man. Everything he does, he basically comes back and says it wasn't good.
[00:19:35] Shouldn't have done it. Whatever. Here's his excuse that he's saying. I only said let's do this to get rid of the NAFTA. Because NAFTA is the worst agreement ever made. You know what? The fact of the matter is that they were jumping up and down in the Rose Garden to get this USMCA thing done. NAFTA really was really bad. I agree completely. But everybody that negotiated this said it's NAFTA plus 20%. So it's NAFTA on steroids. It's worse than NAFTA. That's right.
[00:20:04] So does Trump want it to go away? I don't think so. I think he's the one that created it. And I think he wants to keep it. Now, he'll make a comment or two that might make you believe he's on board. Kind of like, does he want the IRS to go away? Well, he sure sounded like it when they were attacking him. He sure sounded like it when he cranked up the external IRS or the tariff deal. He made it sound like he was going to get rid of the... He doesn't want to get rid of the IRS now. He's backing off and he thinks it's fine. Well, here's the deal with the USMCA. He said the only reason was in favor of it to get rid of NAFTA.
[00:20:33] I think that's Bravo Sierra. And they were very conservative. Mike Lee from Utah was one of the chief cheerleaders of doing this thing. He wanted it improved during the lame duck session after the midterm elections because he didn't think the Democrats had carried it out. They were enthused about it. And Trump says the only way he did it was to get rid of NAFTA. But it was to be renewed or re-looked at in six years. Hey, buddy, we're back there now. We're looking at it, aren't we? Who would have...
[00:21:01] I mean, there's no way in the world Trump could have known that he was going to be six years later sitting in the White House to be the guy that killed it. And so now he has a real question. If he says he's not for it and he wants to get rid of it, let's see the pay dirt. Let's get her done. Yep. And I don't see Trump really talking about it in a meaningful way at all. It might have been an off comment. You know, while the planes are whining in the background, you can't hardly hear a thing he has to say. Why they do that in modern terms is beyond me. It's clown show antics, to say the least.
[00:21:30] Have the president sit down where it's clear audio and video and just do it right and get to the bottom of it. But I don't think he wants the USMCA to go away at all. I don't believe it. I think he's saying that because it might sound good to a few people, and he's hoping to, you know, just like getting rid of the IRS. It's all talk, no walk. How about more consideration of the timeless principles of the Declaration of Independence? Boy, do we need some of that, doctor. Well, we do.
[00:21:53] And I've kind of, that was my own volition that I've been in lately in our get-togethers on these webinars. I've tried to tell me that we got that 200th anniversary of the Declaration showing up. And these principles are timeless. They are absolutely applicable today. And we've been taking some of those broad-brushed, timeless principles and talking about them.
[00:22:20] And I talked a little bit last night about the idea that a lot of these offenses of the king, these 27 offenses that are in the Declaration that the Founding Fathers documented, accusing the king of being a tyrant, defined him as a tyrant. And so many of these things can be read like today's news today. The fact that they are applicable today. And we have become so complacent and so complicit.
[00:22:50] We have allowed, they use different terminology, but the idea of obstructing justice, pretended legislation, multitude of offices to harass our people. So, I mean... Get out their substance? Sure. These things are very real-world things that are happening in the United States today under a little different... Yeah, but you've got to have loyalty to the party. Don't you understand?
[00:23:18] There's a book coming out, too, and they say that Trump behind the scenes is mad at J.D. Vance and others. He says, you've got to just repeat what I say. That's the deal. No, it's going to be curtains for you, okay? And that's what Donald is doing right now. I think Donald has been expunging of his administration people that were naysayers in his mind. But Vance is very real at risk right now.
[00:23:44] He could be thrown under the bus when this memo of understanding goes south, and he'll say, see, Vance was the negotiator. I think, quite frankly, Vance was the only reason it got to this point. I don't think Trump holds the diplomatic skills and statesmanlike stature. Yeah, because Rubio's got a lot more mojo over Vance. Rubio will probably be the next president unless they lose to the Democrats in 2028. I'm not a Rubio fan, and I don't think he's even constitutionally qualified to run,
[00:24:13] but that's a whole other topic, too. We're flat out of time. For Dr. Scott Bradley, check out freedomsrisingsun.com.
