[00:00:13] 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 live on your radio. Hard-hitting news the networks refuse to use. No doubt starts now. This is the broadcast for May 9th in the year of our Lord, 2025.

[00:00:39] This is our one of two and the goal always to protect life, liberty, and property, to promote God, family, and country. Using the checks and balances brilliantly put in place by the Founding Fathers as we promote the supreme law of the land, the Constitution for the United States of America as the road back, the way to restore the republic, to preserve the nation, if you will. So much going on, ladies and gentlemen. It's not even funny in the news. I'll tell you what. But the good news is it's a freedom-loving. Fantastic. Fantastic.

[00:01:06] We're taking America back one heart, one mind, one issue at a time. Friday. You got to dig that. Sad tale to tell the who. Yeah. I guess they're doing their final United States or American tour as they bow out. They say all good things must come to an end. Well, hey, there you have it. I like the who. Great music. Great rock and roll. Get a big old salute to those guys. By the way, Dr. Scott Bradley's in the house. freedomsrisingsun.com.

Dr. Bradley, and a fantastic faith-filled Friday to you, sir. Well, thank you very much, Sam. And same to you and everyone else that cares enough to listen to the principles we try to espouse every time we get together. Yes, indeed, ladies and gentlemen. Let's talk about the Q&A Constitution.

[00:02:04] Last night, what happened? Well, as you kind of inferred in your introduction, there's gobs and gobs and gobs and gobs of things going on. It's just overwhelming. There's no end of it. But I only got to six questions last night. How long was the thing? Oh, about an hour and 20 minutes. All right. So 80 minutes, six questions. That's what, 11 minutes a question?

[00:02:31] Yeah, we try to keep, we have to keep them under 15 minutes because I don't know why, but, you know, BitChute just refuses to let us have more than 15 minutes per segment. And we do post every answer as a little video afterwards. And so if you try to keep them under 15 minutes, you know me. I live in the long-form answer world. And it's because Americans don't know the rest of the story.

[00:02:58] I mean, we are woefully, woefully remiss when Putin can tell us our history and his history better than we can tell any of our history, you know. And when he can put things in a context like that, it's kind of like, huh, huh, I don't misunderstand so bad why he's doing what he's doing. I mean, we stutter and stammer around the questions and everything.

[00:03:23] But Americans really are remiss in being able to connect the dots on things. And so I give long answers. You've been around me long enough to know that. And so anyway, I have to really, I set a timer every time a question comes up. I set the timer and when it goes off, I have to shut the question down so we can get it into their format.

[00:03:45] Yeah, you know, it is very hard to create content that is short to the point clear because it's almost impossible to cover the subjects. And that's kind of part of the problem I see in America is that our attention span has become so short to where it's very difficult to explain the back story, to give anybody some real context for discussions, to really flesh out historical relevance, et cetera.

[00:04:12] I mean, it's really tough in modern society to do so. You know, I started out doing my short form videos and I said, okay, they're all going to be under five minutes. And then over time I said, okay, they've all got to be under four minutes. And now I'm to the point where they're saying, hey, you've got to have them just under three minutes for them to go as viral as they could go. And they won't go viral if they're longer. There's a big, you know, I don't know what you want to say, drop off in terms of if you have videos over three minutes long, hey, the drop off is tremendous. It's crazy. Well, here's the problem, though.

[00:04:41] It's problematic, doctor. You do have time to format and segment and slice and dice and everything like that when you're putting together a preconceived video. But if you're kind of operating by the CD of your hands. Yeah, answering on the fly. It's live, in other words. You don't have that opportunity. It's live on the air. Right.

[00:05:01] But that's what I mean is that and that's why a lot of people are going away from live longer form content because people tune it out and you can't deliver live that kind of a short, you know, succinct because you've got to think about what you want to say. You've got to almost write it down. Even if you don't write it down to read it word for word, it's still bullet pointed to the point where, hey, it's it's it's difficult to really relay and just deliver complicated topics. Right. I mean, that's kind of the problem. Let's just take a quick example here.

[00:05:31] What were the six questions? Let's do this for an instant. Well, OK, the Great Britain tariff agreement was the first issue. And that's a big issue. Then they got. So here's what I want you to do now in less than two minutes. Sam, Sam, Sam, Sam, Sam. Let's not take this down that road. You know, I can't do this. Yeah, you're going to be an abject failure in front of everybody. No, you're not, because you had a chance to already give the live 15 minute version.

[00:06:00] You've had a chance to kind of ponder it or whatever. A headline says Trump announces major new trade deal with the UK. He expressed pride in having the first. Country being the UK, he said, this is just the beginning of an incredible bunch of negotiations with all countries to follow. Observers are keen to see how this deal might set a precedent for future deals with other countries. So what do you say, doctor? Well, absolutely. Here's the deal.

[00:06:27] On April 2nd, when he announced the new tariff program, everybody went ballistic. The markets tanked. Well, they didn't tank, but they took a dive. And everybody's predicting a total wipeout on this thing. Well, yeah, I know. But hold on. Let me stop you. When you say everybody, that's only the liberal whacked out press. Right. It's the ones that have the voices. They're not saying the sky is falling on this broadcast.

[00:06:52] We're saying, yes, the tariffs could be problematic, especially when the president goes off without Congress and violates checks and balances. Other than that, though, we're saying tariffs are a good thing. The sooner you abolish the internal IRS and rely on tariffs, the better off we are. So, see, we're praising a lot of it. But we're bringing constitutional reality checks and balances to the table. And we're bringing some common sense to the table, doctor. Hey, you just took up my whole two minutes, man. You're right.

[00:07:22] There was a meeting of the minds. People are beating a path to the White House. People are actually coming here. They want to, you know, Mohammed goes to the mountain or whatever. I don't know how they say it. But at any rate, the U.K., you know, they broke off with their Brexit thing. Everybody said they're going to go down the toilet because they're broken off from the pack of the European Union.

[00:07:50] You know, that United Nations category of regional government. Anyway, they came here and they found, hey, wait a minute. This didn't turn out all so bad. And we could go into the details a little bit about what they found. And it would have been better if you didn't have destroyers in the pot all the time, too. Well, here's the deal, though. I think it broke the ice. I think a lot of people are saying, hey, wait a minute. I can go do this.

[00:08:17] And I think that what happens as it unfolds, we're going to find that this thing is not quite as the naysayers predicted. And there's going to be some deals cut. You know, Trump is the deal cutter. There'll be people that are really conservative that want to do a bazillion percentage points on everybody. But the reality of the facts is we've got to continue to exist in our world. And so I think it was a very positive thing.

[00:08:47] And I think that Trump had a win on this one. So, yeah. And we are, as observers, waiting to see how this might set the stage for other precedented deals across the world. You know, the liberals are already criticizing this deal, saying it was a horrible one. And how can they say that when we don't even have the details yet, doctor? No, there are very limited details. I mean, there's a lot to be heard. So how do you say that it's not good or that it's a bad start? They're just full of baloney. It isn't true. We don't even know.

[00:09:17] They are naysayers, and they're just saying, oh, it hasn't blown up yet. There's always that yet in there. Yeah, it's coming. Don't worry. The meltdown is happening. It is. Sadly, I believe that the Democrats and the liberals around the world have the ability, though, to truly create self-fulfilling prophecies. So when they say, hey, it's all going to go wrong and I'll go bad, a part of me says look out because they've got a lot of control and a lot of manipulation. And disassembling it is very difficult. It's doable. It's very difficult.

[00:09:46] What's happening right now is, you know, FDR occasionally said something that made sense. But, you know, the only thing we have to fear is fear itself. They create the fear, which causes the death spiral. And so you have markets tanked. By the way, the markets are back above where they were before he announced this thing. So what's happening is the markets— You're letting the facts get in the way of a good destruction of truth? Yeah. Come on now.

[00:10:12] But the fact of the matter is when something comes out and it's positive, oh, more jobs this quarter or whatever, it's like, well, Trump's disaster hasn't hit yet. Yeah, that was just a holdover of the incredible job Joe did, see? Yeah. Anyway, yeah, for sure. So that's kind of where we're going is that the lame brain mainstream legacy, whatever you want to call it, traditional media is really feeding a frenzy. Amen to that.

[00:10:42] But Trump finished with a fantastic quote. I'll tell you after the pause, and then we'll get Dr. Bradley's response to it. I'm just telling you, it's a great quote, but I don't completely agree with it. I'll explain why in seconds. One and only Liberty Roundtable Live. Cybercrime is exploding.

[00:12:57] Hey, Sam Bushman, Dr. Scott Bradley, freedomsrisingsun.com on your radio. So Trump announces major new trade deal with the UK, says that details will be coming out over the next several weeks.

[00:13:19] Many of us as observers are keen to see how this deal might set a precedent for future discussions and details with other nations. But here's the interesting statement that Donald Trump made at the end of it. And I understand the point, but I kind of disagree. Here it is. They want a piece of our market, he stated. I agree with that. But then he says, we don't want a piece of their market. We don't care about their market.

[00:13:46] Anyway, then it talks about the trade policy that it's America first and everything else. I do think we care about their markets, and I do think we care about trading with them. And if we don't, I think that's a wrongheaded message to deliver, saying we don't care about your markets. We don't want a piece of your market. We don't care. I just think that's a bad thing to say and a bad precedent for other nations.

[00:14:08] This sentiment, they say, reflects Trump's America first trade policy, which prioritizes, they say, U.S. interests in international negotiations. Now, I get that Trump is, what's the word for it, focused on the United States. America. He's chauvinistic in American. And I agree with that general principle. It's okay to look out for your country first. That's who he represents. That's who he was elected to negotiate for, et cetera. I get all that and agree.

[00:14:37] Where I disagree, though, is when we start making statements that are negative, like, ah, we don't care about your markets. We don't need your markets. We don't need you. You're nobody. Okay, that's just not helpful in negotiations, in my opinion. The best way to do it is say, listen, we want to make America great again because we're Americans. You know what? You are the U.K. You know what? You want to make the U.K. great again. And we're here to help you do that. But to make America great again and to make the U.K. great again is going to take fair trade negotiations.

[00:15:05] Not free, not lopsided, not manipulated, but fair trade negotiations. I don't know why we would make statements like, we don't give a rip about your markets. And they say it might be a negotiating tactic. I just think there are better ways to negotiate than negatively trashing your opponent going into the deal. Okay, this is not a boxing match or a MMA fighting thing or whatever. This is trade negotiations. Those countries have every right to try to put their countries first as well.

[00:15:35] And when their country's first and our country first clashes, now it's time to sit down and say, hey, real negotiations. And this is hard. I know it's about the art of the deal and everything else. I get it. It's really hard for people to understand this, though. Real, true negotiations doesn't create lopsided agreements that benefit me at your expense or benefit you at my expense. Real negotiations, there's a way to win for everybody. It's not an I win, you lose scenario.

[00:16:02] So I don't like the idea to go into that trashing other countries going, hey, don't care about your markets. Doesn't matter. I think it's a poor negotiating tactic. And I'm going to speak out as such. I think we can come back with more of a civility style negotiation and say, hey, listen, we can put things in place that make sense for you. You know what? Where are your strongest exports? Where are our strongest exports? And people can come to the table and say, hey, we're all participating in the free market, supply and demand's king here. And we welcome other people to come and join us in the greatest economic industry.

[00:16:33] I think we need to lead by our virtues, not by trashing the opponent, for starters. Doctor, am I off my rock on this? What do you think? Well, not particularly. Actually, you make some very good points. The reality of it is, in a brief, succinct way, exchanges happen when both parties think it's a good deal. If you have a good deal, you're not going to have an exchange.

[00:16:55] And if Trump doesn't give a hang about something in England or not, it doesn't mean that somebody else doesn't care about it. I mean, this particular exchange that was negotiated, it appears the focus of it is greatly kind of bent towards agriculture. Well, the farmers really want an open market to them to have access to the British Isles. I mean, you know, you talk about beef, you talk about, you know, grains and ethanol and all those kinds of things.

[00:17:25] I think that the farmers care very much about being able to enter that market. And so they want to be able to do it on an exchange. And they want those markets to do well so they can enter them, right? Sure. So everybody, if you make an exchange, if I've got gold and you've got bicycles and I want bicycles and you want gold, we exchange at a rate that both of us consider to be, you know, an equitable trade. And that's basically what it boils down to. And I think that the idea, oh, we don't give a hang about you or this or that or the other,

[00:17:55] I think that is kind of in your face and bullion in a way. And I think that it kind of makes, it gives people the impression that America is a bully. And I could give you a great example about that from a conversation I had with a young man, but we won't go into the details of it. But his perception was he was a European and he says the general population of Europe considers Americans to be bullies. And I think we need to get rid of that.

[00:18:24] We get rid of that attitude. Call for civility is my website on the topic, ladies and gentlemen. Anyway, that's interesting. All right. What other questions did you have at the Q&A? Well, the next one had to do with the negotiations or get together that's going to happen in Switzerland. And honestly, it's with China. Well, there'll be others on the sideline too. But here's a perception. There's an argument. Who started this? You know, who invited and who requested a meeting and everything?

[00:18:53] I don't think it really matters who did. But Trump can say he was the negotiator and blah, blah, blah. China wants to be the lead guy too. Everything not invented there is no good. But at any rate, some are saying that China is not going to show up. And I make the prediction China will show up. China really, really is kind of in a bucket right now. I mean, their economy's down. Their population's down. They don't have new groups that are coming up to buy their goods and services.

[00:19:23] Their manufacturing's down. I mean, there's a lot of challenges. And China really does need to kind of get a kick in the butt in that way. And I think they're anxious to do it. And if this is handled properly, it'll be something that China wants to play in and the United States wants to play in. And I think we can come to an accommodation that really works out. And so the naysayers are saying, oh, China's going to blow you off on this one. I'm saying, no, I don't think so. I think China has some very valid reasons for coming to the table, just as we do.

[00:19:53] And I think Trump has forced the real discussion, at least so far, better than we've had in the last 30 years. At least he's forcing real discussions along these topics. Now, how well he'll do at the end of the day, time will tell. I don't think it'll turn out as well as we had hoped because I think Trump talks big. But when it really comes down to real negotiating, oftentimes I'm not so sure he gets the better end of the deal, even though he touts that he does. I think we need to be very careful here. And I think we need to look at the founding fathers and look how they understood the world to be.

[00:20:20] Hey, they wanted to basically lead by the Prince of Peace. They wanted to stay out of wars and foreign entanglements. But they did want to have diplomatic relations and trade. They didn't want to be isolationists. And the second you say we don't want free trade, we want fair trade, they dub you as an isolationist. But I think we can come out of this thing smelling like a rose if we look to the founders, look to the Constitution, look to the free markets as our guide, doctor. That's really the key here, isn't it? Well, it truly is. But, you know, you point about 30, 40, whatever number of years.

[00:20:50] And 1986 was a horrid year for a lot of reasons. The immigration deal that Reagan signed, the vaccine thing that Reagan signed, and the most favored nation thing that Reagan signed with China. And what's fascinating is, look, 1986 till now, right? We're literally what? 96, 106, 16, 26. We're literally almost 40 years from that. And aren't the topics almost identical? Well, they are. But here's the deal.

[00:21:19] Well, I think 1986 someday will be really recognized as a watershed year, maybe not quite as bad as 1913, where we got the Federal Reserve and, you know, the 16th and 17th Amendment. But it was a Reagan year kind of thing. And everybody thinks he walks on water. No, we made some big boo-boos then. And if we're not very careful, Trump's going to find himself in the same position where we find ourselves saying, yeah, there was a lot of good that was done there, like we say about Reagan. But, man, there was a lot of mistakes there, too.

[00:21:48] So, anyway, there you have it. All right, next question on your list? Well, the next question on the list was the election of the new pope. And that is really kind of a – it stirred the pot an awful lot across the world. Just help me understand through these things before we get into all this. Robert Francis – what is it? Prevost or Prevost is – Yeah. P-R-E-V-O-S-T for those that are – Prevost, I don't know. Spell checker. He was elected as the first American pope.

[00:22:16] Now, I don't understand this because the last pope was named Francis, right? Pope Francis? Yeah. Now, this guy's middle name, is it really Francis? Well, here's the deal. Well, traditionally for the last 1,500 years-ish, that's a pretty broad window. Every new pope has taken a new name. And it's an iconic name. And, you know, some names are more traditional than others. I told him he couldn't use Sam Bushman, so just saying. Yeah.

[00:22:46] So he selected Leo XIV. And I think that that discloses quite a bit about him, actually, if we want to talk about that. But he's American by birth. He was born in Chicago. He's 69 years old. But he spent 20 years of his career, if you will – I don't know what they call it in the Catholic world – but his career down in Peru looking with underprivileged and underserviced and underrepresented groups.

[00:23:13] And so he's been in third-world countries, you know, with those kinds of things. He's kind of a missionary. Yeah, he speaks five languages. Yeah. Pretty bright guy. Here's kind of an interesting perspective. I mean, and this is – you know, we can take as much time as you want on this kind of nonsense. But he became a cardinal only two years ago. Okay? And who appointed him? Francis. Well, what has Francis been? Communism.

[00:23:36] And then this guy, this cardinal Robert Prevost, became the vetter of other selected or promoted cardinals. So during the last couple of years, he has been the guy telling the pope, pick this guy. Well, the pope picked 80 of the voters. He needed 89 to become pope. He picked 80 of them.

[00:24:05] So it was kind of – the deck was stacked, and I kind of suspect – It's kind of how we elected Joe Biden in 2020 a little bit, people. Not exactly, but it's kind of like that. We're going to do some Mike Johnson arm-twisting and put up the Christian face at the same time we're going to – Anyway, there you have it. We don't mean to attack the pope, ladies and gentlemen. The question is, is what are his ideals? Does he stand for freedom and liberty? Does he stand for, you know, God's law on principles, or does he cave?

[00:24:32] Those are the real questions we have, because to us, it's all about God, family, and country, right? Hang tight.

[00:25:01] Breaking news this hour at townhall.com. I'm Bob Agnew in Washington. A big weekend in store for President Trump's ongoing tariff battle with China. High-level U.S. delegation set to meet with their Chinese counterparts, as Greg Cluxton reports. President Trump is sounding upbeat about the upcoming talks in Switzerland. I think we're going to have a good weekend with China. I think they have a lot to gain. And he believes the discussions can be a win-win. I think it's going to be very good for both countries.

[00:25:28] The President has imposed a 145% tariff on China, leading to a trade confrontation between the world's two largest economies. Greg Cluxton, the White House. Secretary of State Marco Rubio, quick to extend congratulations to the first American Pope, Leo XIV.

[00:28:59] Abbey Johnson was once director of a Planned Parenthood clinic in Bryan, Texas. After a moral crisis, she quit and now she campaigns against what she once endorsed. They implement abortion quotas in all of their clinics. What do you mean, quotas? You have to perform a certain number of abortions every month. One of the reasons that I left... Are they explicit about that? Yes. It's in your budget. Right there on the line item. One of the reasons I left Planned Parenthood was because in a budget meeting, I was told to double that abortion quota.

[00:29:29] And for me, as someone who had spoken to the media and had said, you know, we're about reducing the number of abortions. We're about, you know, prevention, all of these other services. I was shocked. So since you actually worked at a Planned Parenthood, give us some sense of the relative number of abortions. Okay. Abortions, Planned Parenthood provides over 330,000 abortions a year. They are the largest single abortion provider in our country.

[00:29:54] The Rocky Mountains, the crossroads of the West. You are listening to the Liberty Roundtable Radio Talk Show.

[00:30:25] All right, back with you live. So we're talking about this new pope here. And we don't mean to down anyone, but we are concerned about what his focus is, his agenda, his belief system, you know, is he a solid Catholic and believe in the conservative doctrine of the Catholics or is he, you know, whatever. And I find this fascinating because his middle name is Francis. Robert Francis Provost or Provost.

[00:30:53] Why, if your middle name was Francis, would you become Leo XIV or whatever? It's just kind of interesting to me. But this Francis guy kind of rigged the deck before he passed away to kind of help this guy become the pope. Everybody's all excited because it's the first American pope ever. America first, right, Dr. Bradley? Yeah, there's a lot of that ethnocentristic thought about this.

[00:31:18] But he is supposed to be the pope over the entire world of the Catholic, Catholic kind of viewpoint. So I think he's going to try to be a unifier. I think he wants to be the pope for everybody. I mean, everybody, every Christian.

[00:31:33] I think there'll be some kind of, oh, I don't know, where there's a blending of religious beliefs from, you know, the traditional Catholic to the, you know, the Eastern Orthodox to, I mean, that's where they'll start and they'll try and spread it. Here's kind of a, I mean, it's speculation. We don't know yet. And I think everybody, all of the articles I read about it were so incestuous.

[00:32:01] It was, I mean, that's a strange word to choose perhaps. But it looked like somebody put out a, you know, a fact sheet, if you will. Somebody did. There was a central organizing, you know, unified something that came out. It went all over. And everybody and their dog from coast to coast and sea to shining sea and across the world is writing articles based upon the same scam sheet. Okay. So I think it's a very scrubbed kind of environment on it.

[00:32:30] But so I, but I think that, that if, if he was made the influential head that vets the bishops for nominations to cardinal, well, it was the Pope before was, was trying to encourage a certain philosophy to be brought into the cardinals. And there were 133 cardinals that met. They needed two thirds majority. So 89 needed to vote for him.

[00:32:58] They got him, I think on the second ballot. I think it was really a pretty cut and dried kind of thing. There was a formality of one ballot. So everybody got to be heard a little bit. And then they said, okay, this is really how it's going to be. I mean, I'm being really very kind of pragmatic, pragmatic about this. But at any rate, on the second ballot, they got him. So he got his two thirds plus majority. And so I think the deck was kind of stacked.

[00:33:25] He, I think, picked Leo XIV as a kind of a wink and a nod to Leo XIII, who came in during the Industrial Revolution. And he was really, really, really focused on workers' rights, you know, workers of the world unite. And kind of had a little bit of a heartburn, I think, for capitalism and the Industrial Revolution and stuff like that.

[00:33:49] And I think that might be this social justice concept that will be kind of central to the theme of Leo XIV. I'm just speculating because we got so little information about him. But honestly, I watched a lot. Well, it's not that he comes from Republican circles, but they say super moderate Republican. Yeah, super moderate Republican. What does that mean? A communist? I don't know. But the fact of the matter is. And so Kirk Crosby always asks, what is a Republican?

[00:34:18] Because in that sense, that is the point. It is. It is whatever they decide to call themselves. And we can get, well, we don't need to run through the Republicans we've had in Utah that will make the point for us. They're really disappointing. Let's put it that way. Anyway, I think that we're going to see a social justice guy.

[00:34:43] I think we're going to see a kind of a continuation of what Francis did before him. And honestly, though, as I started to say, I watched a lot of the video film that was of the people that were there in the square. And many were weeping for joy. And there was American flags. And there was a lot of kind of political brouhaha going on in a lot of ways.

[00:35:09] But a lot of the, I'm just, I've got a queasy feeling in my stomach that traditional Catholics that like the kind of the way it was for a couple of thousand, well, not 2,000 years, but 1,500 years or something along those lines. I think they're going to be a little disappointed with the social injustice focus and maybe the ecumenicism that comes into it where they kind of start blending other belief systems.

[00:35:37] I think traditional Catholics will be a little bit disappointed. All I'm doing is making a prediction based on a very small amount of information. But that's kind of where my answer came about the Pope. Here's an interesting tidbit. Newly elected American Pope has taken multiple shots at the Trump administration in recent months. So very interesting there here. Oh, his X file. Well, I mean, his X feed is full of it.

[00:36:06] It's X feed. It would tell you a lot about his interests. So, yeah, I think we're going to get another more Francis kind of thing that is really, really along the lines of the for lack of better terms. I hate the terms left and right and conservative and liberal because they've all been co-opted. But most people know what you're talking about when you say, well, this is a leftist kind of thing. Yeah. It leans more towards communism than it does towards liberty.

[00:36:36] OK, but but I think you're going to get more of a leftist slant. That's the simplest way to put it. All right. There you have that, ladies and gentlemen. Let me just tell you this. Trump has appointed Judge Jeanine Pirro as interim U.S. attorney for the District of Columbia. What do you think of that, doctor? You know, they're having a hard time kind of getting something through.

[00:37:05] I mean, everybody seems to want to put their fingerprints on this and that and the other. And they're having a day. I mean, it's just not with with that situation. I mean, we're having issues with attorney and attorney. The Surgeon General. I mean, people are saying, wait, wait, wait. This person, they believe this about vaxes. And so they can't do that.

[00:37:28] And they or they believe in vaxes or they or they're some kind of they're tainted one way or the other. And so there I'm I'm seeing that Trump's having to kind of adjust his sights a little bit to see if he can get somebody that will get through the process. Well, we're going to find out, right? I guess. But I think Jeanine Pirro is better than most. Well, yeah, there's I mean, honestly, I.

[00:37:59] I look at some of these people that are out there and I'm just trying to think who it was. Dang it. When I was reviewing some of their things that they had and they had a fatal flaw in them, though, I mean, they all across the board, they're looking good. Then they go, oh, I mean, it's kind of like and I'm I'm just having a hard time sorting it through the memory banks right now. But, you know, in my opinion, I have some things that are fatal flaws, like those people that want to rewrite the Constitution.

[00:38:26] If that's in their DNA, I would never trust them to cross the road alone. I mean, I don't think their spouse can trust them. I mean, that's how bad I feel about it. So sometimes you do come up with something somewhere that somebody had and in their history and you go, holy cow, how did that happen? I guess I can't support this guy. So I haven't looked at this person you're talking about right now. Anyway, Janine Pirro is a well-known TV host and stuff like that.

[00:38:54] She goes on rants and stuff like, you know, she does a pretty good job for the most part. I don't think she's perfect. But when I think about how whacked out D.C. is, I think maybe Janine can bring some common sense to the table at least. So time will kind of tell how that goes. There's also retired Supreme Court Justice David, what is his name, David Sauter or whatever. Why would they pick him? I guess he's died. Oh, okay. Yeah, I thought he was on his last legs. No, he's a retired, well, he was. He's now dead, sir.

[00:39:24] Yeah. Anyway, so retired Supreme Court Justice David Sauter has passed away. He was 85 years old. So he's out and he was never conservative or never go along with anything that I would believe in, doctor. It's pretty rare that you find these people that are soundly founded, you know, on a broad spectrum of things. And certainly he was one of those that was, in my opinion, really a kind of a thorn in the side of liberty and proper government. Yeah. All right.

[00:39:53] On the heels of that, speaking of, you know, say a moral pope or somebody that stands with traditional God-ordained values. And, you know, this kind of stuff. I guess there's a rep. He's a representative of Tennessee. His name is Tim Burchett, I think is how you say it.

[00:40:14] Burchett, Tim Burchett elicits laughter as he praises Mike Johnson, Speaker of the House, for not cheating on his wife in new Fox appearance. Tim Burchett, Republican or representative of Tennessee, Republican, basically he drew laughs during a recent appearance on, quote, your world. When he praised House Speaker Mike Johnson for being a, what do you want to call it, an honest politician.

[00:40:45] And the remarks seem to double as a swipe relating to Johnson's fidelity. Anyway, very interesting. We'll talk about it because I find it fascinating in the public sector. Hang on.

[00:43:07] Live on your radio, ladies and gentlemen. So we're talking about this Tim Burgess guy. He's a representative of a Republican from Tennessee. He raised eyebrows and drew laughs during a recent appearance on Your World on Fox. When he praised Mike Johnson for being an honest politician, Burgess' remarks seemed to double as a swipe against unnamed colleagues, emphasizing Johnson's integrity and what they call martial fidelity.

[00:43:36] They say rare qualities he suggested in Washington politics. Now, I don't even know what this is all about, but here's my whole point with this discussion. You literally refer to someone's morality and their fidelity to your wife or to their wife, and then you get a bunch of laughs from a Fox audience? Dr. Bradley, what's happening here?

[00:43:59] I don't know the backstory on this either, but it kind of reminds me of the story of the guy that was keeping the ship's log, and every morning he wrote in it, this captain's drunk today. And the captain read it one day and finally said, you can't put that in there every day. I mean, come on, what's going on with you? Stop doing that. And so for some weeks afterwards that there was no reference to drunkenness, and then finally there was a reference in there, the captain was sober today.

[00:44:28] And it carried a whole message there. I think that the problem is that the fidelity issues are just a horrid situation of those that, I mean, they're probably, I don't know if they're a vast majority or a mere majority or where they fit, but I kind of suspect that the fidelity thing is a problem. And I'll tell you why I say that.

[00:44:54] Even people that are, quote, unquote, conservative, again, I hate those terms, but people that want principled government say, hey, my congressman's great. He's a 75% constitutionalist. I mean, come on. Where do you get one of those things? And you go, wait, wait, wait. They took an oath of fidelity to the Constitution. And if you're a 75%er, that means that 25% of the times you violate that oath of fidelity.

[00:45:19] And if you're talking about a marriage and you have four weeks every month, and one of those weeks you're unfaithful to your wife, but you're faithful the other three weeks, that's not a great scorecard. Okay? And so I look at things that we have kind of slipped pretty far down. Why don't we have 100%ers?

[00:45:42] Why don't we have 100% of the people that are representing us held to that sacred oath that they take before God to hold the Constitution sacred and keep their actions within those bounds? Okay? If you won't do it with that, will you do it with your wife? Will your wife be able to truly, unequivocally trust you to keep their oath of fidelity?

[00:46:08] And so I see there's some messages in here, and I don't know if he's inferring that some individual— Well, and I don't know if he meant well by the statements, but the audience laughed, or if he meant to take a swipe at somebody and get a laugh. But all I know, though, is when you talk about—and Mike Johnson's far from perfect. I don't think he's a constitutional conservative. I don't think he's keeping his oath to the Constitution. That's my humble opinion. But he is a Christian, and he has made being faithful to his wife at least a top priority publicly.

[00:46:36] And I pray that's true in his own personal life, and it's true everywhere, because I commend him for it. And it's not a laughable matter in America when we say, hey, he does these things. He's got fidelity to his wife, and he's an honest politician. That's a rarity these days. I agree with that fact, but I guess to me it's not a laughing matter. It should be held up as an example to say, hey, you know, when people are faithful to their spouses, when people are honest in all their dealings, hey, that's a good thing that ought to be celebrated.

[00:47:03] And I pray the pope, and I pray Mike Johnson, I pray this guy, and I pray all the folks over at Fox, and all these people, I hope they have, you know, fidelity and respect for the things of God, for the things of family, for the things of country. And that would be my prayer. And I bring it up because it's just interesting. Why would a Fox group laugh at that? Like, it's funny, to be honest. It's funny to be faithful. Well, I don't find it funny at all, Dr. Brown.

[00:47:31] Well, it's maybe so rare that they actually find it that someone would comment on it. Come on, you've got to be kidding. Now, this Burkett guy is kind of, to use the vernacular of the day, a smartass. I mean, he makes light of almost everything. He says he doesn't care about the humorous side and what people say about him. He cares about his job. And I kind of get that in a way. He kind of tries to bring a light moment to things.

[00:47:59] And he kind of tries to be inoffensive, I think, to vent about the hill dynamics and all that kind of stuff. I don't know that for sure because I don't know the back story on this. But I pray with you that fidelity to both their oath to the Constitution and to their spouse and to everything that's of great worth eternally becomes more central to...

[00:48:24] I mean, some of the guys that have been in Congress and people that even are, quote, unquote, conservative have been notoriously unfaithful to their spouses. No question. And certainly... Including Elon Musk. I mean, Elon Musk just went to court. And he basically said, hey, this isn't my baby. The girl said, yes, it is. And then she said, why don't we just have a DNA test? And the court said, fine, do one. And 99.99, it's his baby. And then the fixer, Jared whatever. I can't remember how to say his last name.

[00:48:55] And anyway, Jared is the fixer for Elon Musk. And he just basically says, hey, it doesn't go well when you try to take us to court and stuff like this. And anyway, all I'm telling you is when you look at that whole thing, you go, man, something's wrong with that fixer for Elon Musk to go against these women and not take care of his many, many children. The guy's a Mormon doctor. The guy's a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. And he's the big fixer, just shutting down women left and right who Elon Musk has, you know, fornicated with, right?

[00:49:25] Well, here's the problem. So many people compartmentalize their lives to the point that they're professed. You can't do that. No, I agree with you, Sam. But I'm telling you, to most people, belief systems are compartmentalized and have no value to anybody. Tragically today. And that's the problem. The sooner we jettison that deception, the better off we are. You know, it's interesting.

[00:49:50] There was a very, very, very, I know you used the term again, I hate him, liberal talk show host that used to have me on regularly. I offended him a few years ago to the point he's never asked me back again. But at any rate, he used to have me on his radio program regularly. And he said, Bradley, I love having you on. You're so predictable. And I said, thank you.

[00:50:11] I says, I try to base all of my decisions and my beliefs and principles based upon a solid, immovable principle system. Yeah, governing values. And if you can do that, you're predictable. And I says, I take that as a compliment, you know, because he was kind of mocking me about, oh, yeah, you're going to talk about separation of powers and checks and balances and delegation of authority. I'm not right. We are because that's how the proper role of limited governments ran people.

[00:50:39] And so the problem is these people, sadly, in many instances, they don't know what the percentage is, have become predictably unfaithful. Certainly their devotion to their oath of office has been violated at every turn. Some have a 0% category there. And their spouses, sadly, have been equally offended. And for people to say, I can go fix this. I can give enough money.

[00:51:08] I can bring a briefcase full of money. And suddenly the problem goes away. No, that isn't how life is supposed to be lived. Someday the great judge will measure our lives in a scale. And I just rather have mine. Right. Amen. Well, here's the final story of the hour, speaking of this and fidelity to truth and honor and integrity to everything else. Biden defends mental acuity on ABC's The View. He goes to the most whacked out liberal extreme show you can go on and says, hey, I've totally got it together. Everybody says that I'm not. It's not true.

[00:51:38] Even Jill's like, hey, no one spent as much time with him. I woke up with him. I went to bed with him. I haven't put him in a cocoon. He's fine. If anybody would know, it would be me. So Jill, Dr. Jill goes kind of crazy on The View with Joe. And they're just running around spinning these lies. And my question is, when are the Democrats going to take off the gloves and expose Joe? When will Mike Johnson, who is known about the incompetence of Joe Biden for over a year, when are these people going to take off the gloves and lay it out?

[00:52:06] If you're so clean and so on top of it like you claim you are, why don't you release the reasons why you had all these weird doctors come into the White House that we documented on the White House records log? Why don't we have those people lay out what they really found? Why don't we put them on a stand and demand accountability for this? They're all delusional. And you tell a lie big enough and long enough, as Joseph Goebbels used to say, the Nazi propaganda guy.

[00:52:32] You tell this big enough lie and long enough, and it becomes truth. And they think that by doing that, but Americans at this point, if there are, I can't hardly believe 15 Americans think that they're telling the truth on this. But obviously, there was a lot of people that thought there were, or at least purported to because they got a lot of votes. But if you stop and talk to the man or woman on the street and say, is Joe Biden cogent?

[00:53:01] Does he have traction when he does his mental agility stuff? People are going to say he doesn't. He isn't. He hasn't been. And it's been years. I don't know how many years it goes back, but certainly four, probably five, and maybe longer. And people that keep saying this are simply delusional, telling the bigger lie as long as they think they can get away with it. But they're not in reality. They're just not in reality.

[00:53:27] So the view basically letting the former president of the United States peddle flat-out fake news. Well, that's what they do every day, Sam. I mean, that's kind of their modus operandi. I get it. Anyway, we tell the truth on this program, and all I can tell you is this. It is vital, ladies and gentlemen, that you are congruent in your life, public and private, whatever, and that you have fidelity to the things you promised you, to your spouse, to your wife or husband, to your children, to the country, to God.

[00:53:57] Okay, this fidelity matters. This honesty and integrity and honest. The issue is honesty, is all I can say. And we need to really understand that and hold them to account for that issue of honesty. But, ladies and gentlemen, I'm very disappointed in Donald Trump and Elon Musk and the way they conduct their moral lives. I get it. When you're rich and famous, it's hard. I understand.

[00:54:23] But we need leaders that make and keep promises and moral commitments. All right. Hour one of the can. Hour two coming up. We're going to talk about the gay, lesbian, bisexual, transgender flags that are being put up in violation of the law. Okay? We'll do it. Hang tight. God save our republic.
