Radio Show Hour 1 – 12/30/2024

[00:00:14] From atop the Rocky Mountains, the crossroads of the West, you are listening to the Liberty Roundtable Radio Talk Show.

[00:00:24] All right. Happy to have you along, my fellow Americans.

[00:00:28] Sam Bushman live on your radio.

[00:00:30] Hard-hitting news that it was refused to use, no doubt starts now.

[00:00:34] This, my fellow Americans, is the broadcast for December the 30th in the year of our Lord, 2024.

[00:00:41] This is Hour 1 of 2 and the goal always to protect life, liberty, and property, to promote God, family, and country.

[00:00:46] Do so on your radio in the traditions of our founding fathers.

[00:00:50] Yes, indeed, we use the blueprint for liberty, the supreme law of the land, the Constitution with the United States of America as our guide.

[00:00:56] We reject revolution, lessons of Jesus' revolution, then we're in because we follow the Prince of Peace.

[00:01:01] The checks and balances brilliantly put in place by the founding fathers, one of the peaceful, restorative solutions we still have at our fingertips.

[00:01:07] Dr. Scott Bradley, freedomsrisingsun.com, is with me as well.

[00:01:12] Welcome to the broadcast, sir.

[00:01:15] Well, good morning, y'all.

[00:01:16] I hope everyone's had a wonderful weekend and are coasting into the new year.

[00:01:21] I mean, obviously, this is a downtime for a lot of people in terms of their normal workaday stuff,

[00:01:28] but hopefully it's recharging and rejuvenating and helping you start off hitting the ground running when the new year hits here.

[00:01:36] You got that right.

[00:01:38] Welcome to the broadcast, ladies and gentlemen.

[00:01:40] First off, RIP.

[00:01:42] Don't they say that?

[00:01:43] Rest in peace.

[00:01:44] Former President Jimmy Carter dies at 100 years old.

[00:01:49] Wow.

[00:01:50] What do you say to that, doctor?

[00:01:52] Well, I mean, you know, you've got to go sometime, but that's the program we're all on.

[00:01:57] But, you know, it's interesting.

[00:01:59] I was watching some of the news reports, obviously.

[00:02:04] That's a big splash on a Sunday evening and everything like that.

[00:02:08] And so I was watching a bunch of them.

[00:02:10] It was fascinating to me that very few, if any, of the casters, I think they brought Britt Hulman one time.

[00:02:18] But anyway, virtually none of them, does their career overlap with what was really the main, you know, thrust of Jimmy Carter's life.

[00:02:31] And I heard some of the most glowing, remarkable, kind of warm-hearted.

[00:02:37] Oh, yeah, they thought this thug was awesome, didn't they?

[00:02:39] Well, you know, I mean, I thought it was kind of like a bladder infection that never went away.

[00:02:45] I mean, we were kind of waiting for this guy to go.

[00:02:48] I mean, holy Hannah, the stuff that went on during his presidency.

[00:02:53] You know, I've written extensively about him over the years.

[00:02:58] I mean, I guess there's one good thing that can say is that he doesn't go down in history now as the most ineffective presidents.

[00:03:10] I guess that can go to our current president nowadays.

[00:03:13] But out of an otherwise drab administration, he did bring forth the Camp David Accords between Monachem Begin and Hanwar Sadat.

[00:03:25] Hanwar? No.

[00:03:27] Anyway, what it did is he bribed the Israeli leader and the Egyptian leader to come and make friends and committed the United States to billions of dollars every year forever.

[00:03:45] I mean, it's been hundreds of billions of dollars since then.

[00:03:48] Yeah, which could be shut down, though.

[00:03:49] Let's be clear.

[00:03:50] The presidents don't have authority to do anything forever.

[00:03:52] No, they don't, but it surely has.

[00:03:54] And he never even had authority to do what he did, I might clarify.

[00:03:57] Absolutely.

[00:03:58] I mean, honestly, the commitments and everything.

[00:04:01] I mean, I bought a house during his presidency.

[00:04:06] I am going by memory, but I think it was 14% interest is what I paid.

[00:04:11] Woo, Doug.

[00:04:12] I mean, holy Hannah.

[00:04:13] I mean, the next time I got transferred with my company, I cut a fat hog.

[00:04:19] I got 12% interest.

[00:04:20] It was a long-term, really heavy burden upon Americans.

[00:04:26] Oh, yes.

[00:04:27] And like I say, okay, the Iranian embassy, they got overtaken and he couldn't work that thing out.

[00:04:35] They were 144 days, if I recall.

[00:04:37] Most of these things were never mentioned, certainly not in a principled light.

[00:04:42] No, because when somebody dies, they're just a hero, so just rock star him and stuff like that.

[00:04:48] The Democrats are delighted because he died now.

[00:04:51] They say he couldn't have timed it better.

[00:04:53] It was his last act of success.

[00:04:56] It turns out that the flag protocol requires all flags to be flown at half-mast for 30 days after the passing of a president.

[00:05:06] This means flags will be at half-mast during Trump's inauguration.

[00:05:11] Many Democrats are saying this is exciting.

[00:05:13] This is his late, great act of service.

[00:05:17] He goes out with a service to his country, doctor.

[00:05:21] Well, I took my flag down.

[00:05:25] But, you know, come on, Sam.

[00:05:28] I mean, really and truly, this is – they're just –

[00:05:32] Now, they're getting excited because the flags will be at half-mast and so it'll put a damper on Donald.

[00:05:37] See?

[00:05:38] You know, I think Donald could play this angle.

[00:05:41] He's so good.

[00:05:42] He wouldn't be this harsh.

[00:05:45] Probably not.

[00:05:46] Maybe he would be.

[00:05:47] But he can say that this flag is a reminder of the difference between what kind of administration he had

[00:05:55] and what we will have under me.

[00:05:56] I mean, I don't know.

[00:05:58] This just popped in my mind.

[00:05:59] Yeah, and he can make jokes about it, too, and he can say,

[00:06:02] you know what, rest in peace, Jimmy Carter.

[00:06:04] You know, a lot of things that Jimmy did I don't agree with.

[00:06:07] But you know what?

[00:06:08] We celebrate his life as a son of almighty God.

[00:06:13] You know, he made some serious mistakes that we will not make under our administration.

[00:06:16] Now the flags are at half-mast and they only go up from here.

[00:06:20] Yeah.

[00:06:21] I mean, you could do well if you wanted to.

[00:06:23] But as far as I understand, the Democrats are all celebrating and Donald's all frustrated about it.

[00:06:27] I just think, you know what, who cares about those little blips?

[00:06:31] It's protocol.

[00:06:31] So what?

[00:06:32] Let it go.

[00:06:32] Let it be.

[00:06:33] Take the lemons and make lemonade, for crying out loud.

[00:06:37] Yeah.

[00:06:37] I find it fascinating.

[00:06:38] It's such a non-issue for me.

[00:06:40] But the fact of the matter is, I mean, he has passed.

[00:06:43] He was the President of the United States.

[00:06:45] That's right.

[00:06:45] I mean, he was governor of Georgia previous to being president, of course.

[00:06:49] And after his presidency, the rumor on the street was that he could not possibly have re-obtained the office of governor in Georgia, even in his home state.

[00:07:02] I mean, it was a rather bland, dull, and lifeless presidency.

[00:07:35] Well, you've got to wonder.

[00:07:36] How do you, you know, and you really look at that and you go, hmm, something's not right with a lot of this.

[00:07:41] And, you know, it's modern times.

[00:07:43] And were there election frauds back then?

[00:07:44] I suspect so.

[00:07:46] Well, he gave away the Panama Canal.

[00:07:48] But you bring up Barack.

[00:07:49] That's an excellent point, I think.

[00:07:52] Barack Obama, didn't he get, he had the Nobel Peace Prize about a nanosecond after people, he came to people's attention.

[00:08:03] And Jimmy Carter got the Nobel Peace Prize also.

[00:08:06] I will say this about Jimmy Carter.

[00:08:08] However, if you take the normal measurement criteria of a peace prize, like, for example, negotiating the Camp David Peace Accords between Egypt and Israel,

[00:08:19] it was at least ostensibly a kind of an action towards peace.

[00:08:25] What in tarnation and blazes did Barack Obama ever do before, after, or since whatever to get the Nobel Peace Prize?

[00:08:34] It was the anointed one, my friend.

[00:08:36] It was virtue signaling, Sam.

[00:08:39] It was totally.

[00:08:39] I am wholer than thou.

[00:08:41] And everybody thought, holy cow.

[00:08:43] Now, I guess Barack Obama.

[00:08:45] David Lauderdale is like a pre-savior type character and everything.

[00:08:48] He was, prior to Kamala Harris, probably the ultimate DEI hire.

[00:08:55] For sure.

[00:08:56] The color of his skin and his anointed status was the sole and only justification for his election.

[00:09:05] And, you know, and I guess Kamala came along and overshadowed any of that.

[00:09:11] And I guess people were just tired of her cackling, babbling word salads, and they just didn't go for her.

[00:09:17] I can't believe 68 million people voted for her.

[00:09:20] That's beyond my comprehension.

[00:09:22] But it is.

[00:09:22] It is beyond understanding.

[00:09:25] I'll give you that for sure.

[00:09:26] But here's the reason that this flying at half matters and, you know, the battle kind of of Jimmy Carter kind of stealing the thunder of Trump and all that kind of stuff.

[00:09:37] The headline says this, unprecedented.

[00:09:41] Will Chuck Grassley really become U.S. president if there's no House speaker to solidify or certify the Trump victory?

[00:09:55] Now, they say this gets into all kind of constitutional questions, uncharted territory.

[00:09:59] It's written by Joe Kovacs over at WND.com.

[00:10:03] And the idea here is, hey, you know what?

[00:10:07] If the Republicans don't unite behind Speaker Mike Johnson and they don't have a speaker, then what happens, Dr. Bradley?

[00:10:14] They can't certify the election of Trump, right?

[00:10:17] Well, that's what they would have you believe.

[00:10:19] But I suspect that if it came down to that actual issue becoming the issue, I think that there would be.

[00:10:28] I mean, even if it was installed by unanimous consent, you know, the Mike Johnson.

[00:10:34] And then once they certified it, they called him into question and threw him out.

[00:10:39] I just don't see it being an issue.

[00:10:41] But maybe I'd love to hear the logic on it.

[00:10:46] Well, that's the logic.

[00:10:47] If there's no speaker, what happens?

[00:10:48] Your response is in seconds.

[00:10:50] No speaker because they can't solidify one.

[00:10:52] They won't rally behind Johnson.

[00:10:53] They get stuck and they don't have a speaker.

[00:10:55] Then what happens?

[00:10:56] Hang tight.

[00:13:02] All right, back with you live, ladies and gentlemen.

[00:13:04] So let's say the day they, what are they supposed to get together on Friday the 3rd?

[00:13:09] Is that when they're supposed to start, Dr. Bradley?

[00:13:11] It's the 2nd or 3rd. I haven't booked this year.

[00:13:14] All right, I think Friday's the 1st.

[00:13:15] I think they start on the 3rd Friday.

[00:13:17] I don't know why they don't just start on the 6th Monday, but whatever.

[00:13:20] Or what would it be?

[00:13:22] Let's see, Friday will be the 3rd.

[00:13:24] Saturday, Sunday will be the 5th.

[00:13:26] Yeah, the 6th Monday.

[00:13:27] Anyway, but that's how they do it because they like to just maximize vacations all they possibly can and everything else.

[00:13:32] But what happens if they reject Mike Johnson and they just have problems with the speaker?

[00:13:37] Then what?

[00:13:38] Without a speaker, can you conduct any business?

[00:13:40] Well, Sam, I, you know, this makes no sense to me.

[00:13:45] Now, I may be obtuse in not finding the logic behind the article you're referring to.

[00:13:50] I haven't read it.

[00:13:51] Well, there's no logic.

[00:13:52] What if there's no speaker?

[00:13:53] There's no logic.

[00:13:54] What if they don't find a speaker?

[00:13:55] Can they conduct any business?

[00:13:56] It doesn't make a damn bit of business.

[00:13:58] Let's put it that way.

[00:13:59] Okay, now let's look at the Amendment 12.

[00:14:03] Amendment 12 is the way how the president's elected by the Electoral College.

[00:14:08] Okay?

[00:14:08] And what happens is they vote, they certify them and send them on to the president of the Senate.

[00:14:16] Okay?

[00:14:17] And then we're halfway through it or a third of the way through it.

[00:14:19] The president of the Senate shall, in the presence of the Senate and the House of Representatives,

[00:14:25] open all their certificates and the vote shall then be counted.

[00:14:29] The person having the greatest number of votes for president shall be the president.

[00:14:33] And if the number be a majority, blah, blah, blah.

[00:14:36] And it talks about how the election occurs if there's not such a case.

[00:14:40] Now, there is such a case that Trump won the Electoral College.

[00:14:44] And I just don't see the logic.

[00:14:47] I mean, somehow this individual who wrote this article may be conflating the president of the Senate and the speaker of the House.

[00:14:55] I guess I wished I'd have read the article.

[00:14:58] But I just don't see that it has a wit of any concern to anybody.

[00:15:05] And it will not happen.

[00:15:07] I just...

[00:15:07] Yeah, so they're saying if there's no speaker to certify Trump's victory, can they certify it?

[00:15:12] Can they do so without a speaker?

[00:15:13] President of the Senate opens them and says,

[00:15:19] Yea, verily, here's how they're voted.

[00:15:22] The person...

[00:15:22] It says the person having the greatest number of votes for president shall be president.

[00:15:27] Okay?

[00:15:28] It doesn't say anything about the speaker having to slam his gavel down and say,

[00:15:33] I hereby certify, you know, that Trump got all these votes.

[00:15:36] It doesn't say anything.

[00:15:37] It says the guy that got the most, guy or gal in any case, whatever, is the president.

[00:15:42] I mean, I just don't see it being a constitutional crisis.

[00:15:46] And you know what?

[00:15:47] Like I say, they may have spun this in such a way that I have never, ever conceived of it in my mind up to this point.

[00:15:55] And I would be willing to examine any of their evidence or logic or anything like that.

[00:16:01] But to me, it just says they all go to the president of the Senate.

[00:16:05] And the president of the Senate opens them and they count them and they say the one that got the most votes wins.

[00:16:12] Yeah.

[00:16:12] And what they're saying is, hey, without a speaker, the House can't function.

[00:16:15] The House can't do any business.

[00:16:17] Therefore, they can't take part in the certification.

[00:16:19] Well, my position would be that if, in fact, that became a concern, I'm very, very confident that there would be a momentary pause.

[00:16:30] Mike Johnson would be certified as the speaker.

[00:16:32] He would perform his functions.

[00:16:34] And then, if need be, in a very short order, they would dissolve and they would hold elections again for a new speaker.

[00:16:42] I can't see anybody ever at any time letting it get down to that point where some nuanced how you hold your mouth kind of thing is going to prevent Donald Trump from being inaugurated.

[00:16:56] It just doesn't make any sense.

[00:16:57] And, again, I may be missing something.

[00:16:58] Yeah, here's what they say.

[00:16:59] Based on the House rules, once a proposition to elect a speaker has been made, it will take priority over other business.

[00:17:06] And if that happens and it gets put on hold and they can't certify the election, then, you know, so that's the claim.

[00:17:13] And I agree with you.

[00:17:14] I believe this is kind of like the debt ceiling or the government being shut down.

[00:17:19] You know what?

[00:17:19] They always at the last minute come to a resolution of some kind.

[00:17:25] And I agree with you.

[00:17:25] They'll make Mike Johnson speaker of the House and they'll just get it done.

[00:17:30] I believe Mike Johnson will be made speaker of the House anyway.

[00:17:32] I don't think there's any real opposition.

[00:17:34] They don't have any guts to shut down government.

[00:17:36] They don't have any guts to elect a new speaker.

[00:17:38] You know, I don't see Elon Musk becoming the speaker like some have been calling for.

[00:17:42] I do personally think there's value in having somebody that's not an elected representative become a speaker that's outside of the House.

[00:17:48] But that's just my opinion.

[00:17:49] I don't think you have to be a member of the House to be the speaker.

[00:17:53] But that's the idea.

[00:17:54] Is the U.S. Congress legally required to elect a speaker?

[00:17:59] Each House may determine the rules of its own proceedings.

[00:18:02] And so this article makes sense in the sense that if it really happened, it could be a problem.

[00:18:07] The point that I'm that Dr. Bradley is getting at and that I agree with is this.

[00:18:10] They can make up their own rules.

[00:18:12] So all they have to say is we will certify even though we don't have a speaker.

[00:18:14] We will certify the elections.

[00:18:15] They can change their rules and do that anytime they want to.

[00:18:18] They can also elect a speaker, get that part done, then put the speakership up for question or just keep the speaker they've elected and not worry about it and move on, which is what I predict they'll do.

[00:18:26] I predict they'll pass Mike Johnson as speaker.

[00:18:29] There won't be any real opposition to it.

[00:18:31] And Mike will go forward as the speaker.

[00:18:32] Trump likes him.

[00:18:33] Trump and him have been seen together recently.

[00:18:36] I believe he's betrayed us on too many fronts.

[00:18:38] I would never make him speaker.

[00:18:39] But given the political wins that we see, I don't see them basically starting out with a fight on that at all.

[00:18:44] So I understand the reason that this is brought up and I give enough credence to their concerns to say they've forced us into so many uncharted waters with all kinds of things on purpose to try to, in my opinion, minimize the supreme law of the land.

[00:19:00] But the supreme law of the land is clear.

[00:19:02] And these rules are not important.

[00:19:03] If we don't have a speaker, we can still certify the election.

[00:19:07] There's nothing that says we have to.

[00:19:09] And so I know it's common practice to say, well, if we've got a speaker question, let's get that resolved.

[00:19:15] Then we can move on with other business.

[00:19:16] But that's a paralyzing reality that could be circumvented by them changing their own rules in two seconds.

[00:19:21] I agree with Dr. Bradley.

[00:19:23] I don't think they'll let this happen.

[00:19:25] But I do think it's interesting when we hear the Democrats saying we'll make sure that they don't certify the election on the 6th.

[00:19:32] We'll make sure that we have our own January the 6th.

[00:19:35] We'll make sure that we're flying the flag at half mass now because of this.

[00:19:40] Now, you know, we're going to float this unprecedented.

[00:19:43] Will Chuck Grassley become the president in this weird scenario?

[00:19:46] The question becomes should Republicans unite to have Mike Johnson remain a speaker of the House is kind of the next question downstream from that.

[00:19:55] And the answer is clearly at this point yes.

[00:19:57] I just don't think that you can have more trouble.

[00:20:00] I'm not interested in Mike Johnson being the speaker personally, but I'm less interested in having a lot of these calamities take place.

[00:20:07] For example, they say this unless Congress acts in the next couple of weeks.

[00:20:12] Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen has warned the government will run into the debt ceiling problem.

[00:20:19] Yeah, which could require extraordinary measures.

[00:20:23] Yellen says I respectfully urge Congress to act to protect the full faith and credit of the United States.

[00:20:30] So she would say, hey, let's now increase the debt ceiling.

[00:20:34] Donald Trump livid saying that it's it's it's sabotage that they did not increase the debt ceiling when they had the chance.

[00:20:42] It could have been Joe Biden's problem.

[00:20:44] Now it's going to be the Republicans and Donald Trump's problem.

[00:20:47] That along with it is another question.

[00:20:49] If you have no speaker, hey, can you raise the debt ceiling?

[00:20:52] Do we have to raise the debt ceiling?

[00:20:53] See, I would not raise the debt ceiling at all.

[00:20:55] And I would prove that's where we at Doge and that's where the president of the United States can make enough changes to significantly not need the debt ceiling increase.

[00:21:04] What a what a win that would be coming out of the gate.

[00:21:06] But yet that's in the question as well, because it's a couple of short weeks, they say, between when Congress kicks back in start of the new year and when they have to deal with a debt ceiling issue.

[00:21:17] Doctor, your thoughts on that one?

[00:21:19] Well, there's so many issues at play here.

[00:21:21] A lot of moving parts, a lot of the things that they're talking about sound ominous and overwhelming in the full faith and credit of the United States.

[00:21:29] What the heck is that?

[00:21:30] When we got a fiat currency, that's absolutely by declaration.

[00:21:34] I mean, it's it's nothing real.

[00:21:37] But but Yellen is is Yellen.

[00:21:40] Yes, I think she's.

[00:21:44] I think the the the stuff I've looked at, the earliest it could go bad is probably about the third week in January.

[00:21:51] At least they could hit the ceiling then.

[00:21:53] It might by some manipulation and the way they play their numbers games go out even two or three months beyond that.

[00:22:01] So so I don't think they claim June.

[00:22:03] June, if you leave it alone, they claim it June.

[00:22:06] It'll be really meltdown time if something's not done.

[00:22:09] Well, you know, whether that's true or not is is still up in question in my mind.

[00:22:13] Oh, for sure.

[00:22:14] The fact the matter is, it is not a hard.

[00:22:15] None of this is real.

[00:22:16] What's a ceiling if you could just raise it?

[00:22:18] Yeah.

[00:22:19] In the first place.

[00:22:20] And and Trump is is livid, as you say.

[00:22:23] Well, that's Bravo Sierra also.

[00:22:25] The problem is that that he.

[00:22:28] Well, it's true that he's livid.

[00:22:30] It's BS that he should be right.

[00:22:31] Right.

[00:22:32] Here's the problem.

[00:22:33] I'm not the problem.

[00:22:34] It's the issue.

[00:22:35] Don't throw me in that briar patch.

[00:22:37] I mean, Trump would just love it.

[00:22:39] That's right.

[00:22:40] Before he gets to be president, if the guys in the in the House and the Senate panic and raise it and they do it before January 20th.

[00:22:49] It's not his problem anymore.

[00:22:51] I mean, yeah, but that's a lie to it doesn't help him at all.

[00:22:53] All that does.

[00:22:54] No way.

[00:22:55] Sure.

[00:22:55] The business goes on as usual.

[00:22:57] And and Donald will get his head handed to him two years later in the next election cycle if he's not very careful.

[00:23:02] So that isn't really helping Trump either.

[00:23:03] He thinks so.

[00:23:04] But it's not true.

[00:23:05] Well, I think it's one of those things he'd love to see this taken off the table before he gets inaugurated.

[00:23:11] Oh, for sure.

[00:23:12] And if they panic and they say, OK, OK, OK, OK, we'll do it.

[00:23:15] We'll we'll raise the debt ceiling and they do it.

[00:23:18] It'll be got thrown in the briar patch just like the, you know, the story.

[00:23:23] OK.

[00:23:23] But but the fact of the matter is all of this is eyewash, smoke and mirrors and everybody's wrangling and rolling logs and everything else like that.

[00:23:33] And it is what it is.

[00:23:35] It will be what it is.

[00:23:36] And it should be addressed and taken care of.

[00:23:39] Nobody has enough backbone to do that.

[00:23:41] It doesn't seem.

[00:23:42] And a thirty seven trillion dollar debt is very significant.

[00:23:46] We've talked about this before.

[00:23:48] Oh, yeah.

[00:23:48] The annual interest is over a trillion dollars now.

[00:23:52] All right.

[00:23:52] You ready for my prediction?

[00:23:54] What?

[00:23:55] My prediction is they make Mike Johnson speaker of the House.

[00:23:58] My prediction is they certify the elections.

[00:24:01] My prediction is that you'll have rioters outside causing trouble.

[00:24:05] But they get all that done and they raise the debt ceiling and all these crises that people are pointing to right now.

[00:24:11] Will melt away.

[00:24:13] That's my prediction.

[00:24:14] Write it down.

[00:24:15] How many times do they tell you government's going to shut down?

[00:24:17] They wait till the last second and save it over and over and over.

[00:24:19] How many times do they raise the debt ceiling and it's never been an issue?

[00:24:23] They're not going to have the guts to take that on right now.

[00:24:25] I can promise you that.

[00:24:26] Now Donald Trump wants them to go ahead and, well, let's see if we can put the TikTok ban on hold so Trump can deal with it when he's in office.

[00:24:36] Let's talk about that coming up.

[00:24:37] We'll do it in seconds.

[00:28:59] You know where the solution can be found, Mr. President?

[00:29:03] In churches, in wedding chapels, in maternity wards across the country and around the world.

[00:29:10] More babies will mean forward-looking adults,

[00:29:12] the sort we need to tackle long-term, large-scale problems.

[00:29:17] American babies in particular are likely going to be wealthier, better educated,

[00:29:21] and more conservation-minded than children raised in still industrializing countries.

[00:29:27] As economist Tyler Cowen recently wrote,

[00:29:30] quote,

[00:29:31] By having more children, you're making your nation more populous,

[00:29:34] thus boosting its capacity to solve climate change.

[00:29:38] The planet does not need for us to think globally and act locally

[00:29:42] so much as it needs us to think family and act personally.

[00:29:48] The solution to so many of our problems, at all times and in all places,

[00:29:54] is to fall in love, get married, and have some kids.

[00:30:13] Broadcasting live from atop the Rocky Mountains,

[00:30:16] the crossroads of the West,

[00:30:18] you are listening to the Liberty Roundtable Radio Talk Show.

[00:30:24] All right, back with you live, ladies and gentlemen, Dr. Scott Bradley and yours truly.

[00:30:28] So I brought that up about all these crises relating to the Constitution, ladies and gentlemen,

[00:30:32] because they're only crises if we just, you know, have such selfish agendas that nobody can get along.

[00:30:39] Okay, we can solve these things in an instant if we use the supreme law of the land.

[00:30:43] Okay, and if there's really, you know, hey, a question about the certification of president,

[00:30:48] hey, I think that ought to be addressed just like it should have been addressed in 2020.

[00:30:52] But that shouldn't stop us from certifying the elections if they're legitimate.

[00:30:55] It shouldn't stop us from having a president.

[00:30:57] We shouldn't put all these questions in place about, hey, when the Constitution fails,

[00:31:02] what do we do?

[00:31:02] We're in uncharted territory.

[00:31:04] They always want us to be in uncharted territory,

[00:31:06] because what they want us to do is look to other solutions other than the Constitution.

[00:31:10] And the answer is you look to the Constitution, ladies and gentlemen,

[00:31:12] you got the blueprint for liberty in front of you,

[00:31:14] and you simply look at it, and it's got a resolution for all the problems that we face.

[00:31:20] Is it perfect?

[00:31:20] No.

[00:31:20] No.

[00:31:21] Is it the best document we've ever had in the history of the world?

[00:31:24] Absolutely.

[00:31:26] And we ought to stick with it for sure, ladies and gentlemen.

[00:31:29] All right, Donald Trump is saying, hey, you know what?

[00:31:31] I really want the court.

[00:31:33] He asks SCOTUS to delay the TikTok ban.

[00:31:37] I told you it was happening January the 19th, the day before the inauguration.

[00:31:41] Trump wants the Supreme Court to postpone it, give him a chance to get in office,

[00:31:44] and see if he can't find an equitable solution.

[00:31:47] What do you think of that, Dr. Bradley?

[00:31:50] Well, I guess we can discuss the authority to ban TikTok before we debate that thing.

[00:31:58] I mean, I just...

[00:31:59] Yeah, now you're talking.

[00:32:00] I find it rather fascinating that Trump wants all the cards in his deck to be able to be in play for him,

[00:32:10] and nobody's saying, what the heck are we doing?

[00:32:13] I mean, all of these things, though, Sam, I mean, they're all ointed awful.

[00:32:16] We're all going to die.

[00:32:17] It's kind of like how they were playing the COVID coward stuff, where everybody was just on the edge of their chair.

[00:32:26] They were in collapse over everything, and every death that happened, even motorcycle accidents on the freeway were COVID-caused.

[00:32:33] It was just fear, fear, fear, doubt, doubt, doubt.

[00:32:37] We're all going to die.

[00:32:38] And there's just a lot of that mongering going on right now.

[00:32:41] And people are getting wrapped up around the axle about...

[00:32:45] It's a tempest in a teapot.

[00:32:46] I mean, I'm just shocked at how we get so hyperventilating over so much.

[00:32:52] And I guess Donald wants to deal with it.

[00:32:57] Where did he get that authority?

[00:32:59] And where did the Congress get the authority?

[00:33:00] And, I mean, there's a lot bigger issues about people overreaching what's a constitutional authority.

[00:33:07] It's so astounding to me.

[00:33:09] I just find it weird.

[00:33:11] Well, and I want to know where they get authority to ban it in the first place.

[00:33:15] You're right on target before we discuss if Trump should, you know, if the court should delay this and that and the other.

[00:33:20] And, you know, where do the courts get authority to delay it, by the way?

[00:33:22] Do the courts just have authority to just change the law?

[00:33:25] And then the question becomes, do they have the right to pass that law?

[00:33:28] And who signed it?

[00:33:29] And, hey, if they passed it and Joe signed it, does that mean it's law?

[00:33:32] What if it conflicts with the Constitution?

[00:33:34] What if it's done without authority?

[00:33:35] See, it's a law that never was, doctor.

[00:33:37] It's pretend legislation.

[00:33:38] It's legislation.

[00:33:40] And the TikTok thing, I mean, it's like, okay, so if they change, okay, if they become not majority owned by China, maybe that'll help them.

[00:33:50] Well, China, these paper shill kind of, you know, shell game kind of things, of course, they become non-Chinese owned or whatever.

[00:34:00] I mean, they transfer ownership.

[00:34:02] Well, the United States spies on us, too, just the same as China.

[00:34:06] China is a piker in comparison to what the U.S. government is doing on us right now.

[00:34:11] Right.

[00:34:12] There is no authority to do all the stuff, the NSA stuff.

[00:34:17] By the way, the NSA stuff, it grows legs more every year.

[00:34:21] Every time they do the bill.

[00:34:22] Without question.

[00:34:23] Another bill.

[00:34:24] And at the behest of the Republicans most of the time, even.

[00:34:27] Let's be clear.

[00:34:28] Well, absolutely.

[00:34:30] In fact, Orrin Hatch, Utah senator, he's dead now, fortunately.

[00:34:34] But the fact of the matter is he was a 40-year senator from Utah and 42, I think.

[00:34:40] But at any rate, he claimed to be the principal author of the Patriot Act.

[00:34:46] And that eviscerated the Fourth Amendment to the point that we don't have a Fourth Amendment based upon the application of the Patriot Act.

[00:34:54] And nobody seems to even care.

[00:34:57] Yeah, because they kind of take wartime and everybody's an enemy combatant.

[00:35:00] And therefore, you don't have your constitutional provisions of due process or anything else anymore.

[00:35:04] And where do we get that?

[00:35:06] And that's the reality.

[00:35:06] Where do we get that?

[00:35:07] I mean, does the Sixth Amendment just go away?

[00:35:11] And the Fifth Amendment, I mean, does the Fourth Amendment, are we just checking them off as we knock them off?

[00:35:17] I mean, it's just absolutely astounding to me.

[00:35:20] And nobody happens to say that.

[00:35:21] Well, the people can't have liberty unless they understand it and know how to defend it and call them out on this.

[00:35:25] And so I'm calling out this whole thing saying, hey, you know, I appreciate Trump wants the courts to halt this.

[00:35:30] But I think that Trump and everybody else ought to call it a lot of it never was.

[00:35:34] You don't have the authority to ban TikTok in the United States.

[00:35:37] There's no authority for that anywhere.

[00:35:39] And so it's bogus on its very face.

[00:35:42] But again, whether it's the debt ceiling, whether it's TikTok, no matter what it is, we've got to look to the supreme law of the land, folks, for solutions.

[00:35:50] But everybody's wanting to bend the knee to the Donald.

[00:35:53] Turns out now Bill Gates asked to visit Mar-a-Lago, says Donald Trump.

[00:35:58] What do you say to that?

[00:35:59] Now Bill Gates is going to roll down there and whisper in Donald's ear.

[00:36:03] Well, if anybody here remembers the old Lord of the Rings series where Wormtongue was going in and whispering in the ear of King Theoden and Rohan.

[00:36:16] And I think that everybody wants to go kiss the ring.

[00:36:19] They want to gain whatever ascendancy they can.

[00:36:23] And Bill Gates is just, I mean, I cannot imagine, I cannot imagine how a person of his personality, seems like a double think there almost, has got any ascendancy at all in this nation, anywhere in the world.

[00:36:40] And his programs, you know, his Gavi injection programs around the world and his promoting the idea of the death jab and all this kind of stuff.

[00:36:51] Promoting abortions and all kinds of sexual help for women and everything around the world.

[00:36:56] It's disaster.

[00:36:57] How does this guy have, I mean, you look at him and you say, huh?

[00:37:03] It's kind of like, you know, someday.

[00:37:05] Yeah, it's like the Wizard of Oz, you know.

[00:37:06] You find the little scrawny whatever at the end of the deal and you go, what the heck?

[00:37:10] You know, it's kind of how Satan's going to be in the end of the day when he's locked up, right?

[00:37:15] Yeah, people look at him and say, this is the guy that caused all the troubles.

[00:37:18] And so Trump is having a parade of people coming down to kiss the ring, I guess.

[00:37:24] I don't know what the heck they're doing.

[00:37:27] But it's interesting to me how these people that have been, you know, they're wanting to commit that they're somehow going to be on his team or some other thing.

[00:37:36] They see that they can gain some kind of maybe they'll be appointed to some, you know, vaccine program.

[00:37:45] You know, I don't know what I don't know what Gates maybe strike to start up another Jeffrey Epstein Island.

[00:37:51] I don't know.

[00:37:51] Well, what they for sure want to do is make sure that they somehow make associations with Donald Trump.

[00:37:56] So they're not the next ones to get attacked and and bullied and abused like they've done to Trump for so long.

[00:38:01] It's kind of part of the issue and stuff.

[00:38:03] But I just find that very fascinating that now Bill Gates wanting to go to Mar-a-Lago.

[00:38:07] And what I find even more interesting is Trump willing to meet with all these clowns.

[00:38:10] Yeah.

[00:38:10] Why would you meet with Bill Gates in the first place?

[00:38:12] What what do you have as president of the United States that you would need to meet with Bill Gates about?

[00:38:17] OK, now, Sam, you know, a lot of people that have been accused of being white supremacists or domestic terrorists or whatever.

[00:38:24] OK, we don't need to know, but OK.

[00:38:27] OK, but let's just say that what's the chances if one of them called Trump and say, hey, buddy, I'd like to come down and kiss the ring, too.

[00:38:35] Will you see me?

[00:38:36] I mean, let's just take David Duke.

[00:38:38] Zero.

[00:38:39] If David was out and about in the in the playground, he's not going to get it.

[00:38:44] He's not going to get an audience.

[00:38:45] And why are I can't even get an audience with Trump?

[00:38:48] Well, I don't know, Sam, that's a big that's a big problem.

[00:38:51] But the problem, the point I'm trying to make is.

[00:38:55] Yeah, your point is meeting with people that are kissing the ring.

[00:38:58] That if it were another kind of scenario where they have had their image.

[00:39:05] They'd be putting him in prison.

[00:39:07] Well, here's the deal.

[00:39:08] If your image has been tarnished by the Southern Poverty Law or the.

[00:39:15] What's that?

[00:39:16] What's the Jewish organization that talk?

[00:39:18] Anti-Defamation League.

[00:39:20] Yeah.

[00:39:20] If you have been tainted by their propaganda, you ain't going in, you guys.

[00:39:27] But if you're one of the guys that was playing around with Jeffrey Epstein's girlfriends on the island and you say, can I come down and see you?

[00:39:35] I mean, it's like, well, sure.

[00:39:38] Come on down, baby.

[00:39:39] I mean, I just cannot imagine.

[00:39:42] Trump would not meet with these people that have been tainted by other tainting organizations that have no credibility in my mind.

[00:39:51] But the fact of the matter is he's meeting with them, which is rather astounding to me.

[00:39:55] It's just absolutely astounding.

[00:39:56] Yeah, it is.

[00:39:56] And you've got all these people that want Trump in jail.

[00:39:58] And you look at Monica or whatever her name is, or whatever, and Joe, Morning Joe and these clowns.

[00:40:04] And they were literally calling Trump Hitler on the air.

[00:40:07] And they're like, oh, he got elected.

[00:40:09] Man, we're going to be marginalized.

[00:40:11] Can we come see you, Don?

[00:40:12] Next day they're in Mar-a-Lago eating dinner.

[00:40:14] And it's insanity.

[00:40:16] Now, I know on one hand Donald kind of mocks them and trolls them by his meetings with them.

[00:40:20] The problem is I believe they whisper in his ear.

[00:40:23] And the problem is we've seen over and over and over that Trump is willing to listen to the deep state and get, you know, sideways there.

[00:40:30] The JFK assassination files and some of these things, you know, that he promised to release and get to the bottom of it.

[00:40:37] And then he was talked out of it by people whispering in his ear.

[00:40:41] He needs to be very careful who he lets whisper in his ear.

[00:40:43] I'll tell you that right now.

[00:40:44] When we get back, there's a huge debate over H-1B visas.

[00:43:08] Don't fall for it.

[00:43:10] But the debate rages over the H-1B visa program.

[00:43:16] Steve Bannon goes torched earth on Elon Musk, calls him a toddler over this thing.

[00:43:23] The debate is, does Donald Trump back H-1B visas?

[00:43:28] Trump says, oh yeah, I love them.

[00:43:29] I've used them.

[00:43:31] But when people dig in, he's used other programs, but not this program very much.

[00:43:35] He says he backs it on one hand.

[00:43:37] Elon Musk backs it.

[00:43:39] Vivek Ramaswamy backs it.

[00:43:41] But a political strategist by the name of Tim Miller criticized Vivek and Elon Musk.

[00:43:49] Basically over the backing of this H-1B visa program.

[00:43:54] Now what's interesting is that Vivek Ramaswamy basically defends the visa program.

[00:44:04] And basically his point is this.

[00:44:06] The problem with America is we don't have high-tech people to fill these jobs.

[00:44:11] And the reason we don't isn't because we're not smart as a people.

[00:44:14] It's because we've created and engineered a system against this true education.

[00:44:20] We've gone into the woke, whacked out education to the point where no one's really educated enough to take these jobs.

[00:44:26] So if we just shut down this, you know, H-1B visa program, we'll just be starved for a dearth of talent.

[00:44:35] And therefore it's a problem.

[00:44:36] And it's because of the culture of the United States.

[00:44:38] Hey, we raise everybody on Beavis and Butthead.

[00:44:40] And therefore, you know, kind of thing.

[00:44:43] And we basically have promoted foreigners for so long that now we're kind of in trouble.

[00:44:50] And so we can't get rid of the H-1B visa program immediately, says Vivek and Elon Musk.

[00:44:56] But Tim Miller, a political strategist, says, hey, it's an insane take on American culture.

[00:45:03] It's not true.

[00:45:03] I say that it is true.

[00:45:05] Now, are we smart enough?

[00:45:07] Absolutely.

[00:45:07] Absolutely.

[00:45:08] But when you look at how hard the Asians study and work for school and the Japanese and some of these people,

[00:45:13] and I agree many of them work too hard or they lose a sense of reality.

[00:45:18] But we, you know, in America have our kids just party from the time they're born until the time they're like 30.

[00:45:23] And then we're kind of going, hey, how come they can't get a grip on life and work and do well and everything else?

[00:45:28] It's because we've gone soft.

[00:45:30] It's because we've been given everything.

[00:45:32] It's because we've let our education system become a humanist, destructive system.

[00:45:38] And so eventually could we solve this and abandon the program?

[00:45:42] Yes.

[00:45:42] Could we do it overnight without suffering greatly and falling behind?

[00:45:47] I think there's a point that Vivek and Elon Musk are making.

[00:45:51] And so that's why we need to be very strategic about how we remove people from the United States.

[00:45:56] You know, illegals, criminals, murderers, rapists, gone first.

[00:46:00] But, you know, people that are DACA or some of that kind of stuff, there needs to be a softer approach to some degree.

[00:46:06] And when people have these visas, you know, do we continue that program, doctor?

[00:46:10] What do you say?

[00:46:10] The big debate's on.

[00:46:12] Well, for your listeners that may not know about an H-1B visa, I mean, this is kind of out in the Ethernet of a lot of people, or Ether anyway, of a lot of people.

[00:46:22] H-1B is a kind of a – they're taking – they're hiring non-immigrant aliens into specialty occupations, generally high-tech, or think of Trump's current wife as fashion models.

[00:46:36] I think she came here on an H-1B.

[00:46:38] I'm not positive.

[00:46:39] I probably ought to go verify that so I don't start rumors improperly.

[00:46:43] But I think she was brought in as a fashion model on an H-1B, I think is how she got access to the United States.

[00:46:51] But don't – I'm going to have to go research, okay?

[00:46:54] So don't take that to the bank.

[00:46:56] But basically they take these high-tech specialty jobs that they say there's no Americans that are capable of fulfilling them.

[00:47:04] And they have a kind of a methodology that they go through to verify.

[00:47:10] Yep, I looked.

[00:47:11] I can't find him, so I got to hire.

[00:47:13] Okay, so –

[00:47:14] She came on a visitor visa in the first place, doctor.

[00:47:16] Okay.

[00:47:16] And then did she get to stay on an H-1B or what?

[00:47:20] I don't know.

[00:47:21] Anyway, it's probably –

[00:47:22] Then she got an M-1 is what they call a visa.

[00:47:25] Oh, an M-1.

[00:47:25] Or an EB-1 visa.

[00:47:27] EB-1 visa.

[00:47:28] So it's slightly different.

[00:47:30] There's so many of these that are hard to keep track of.

[00:47:32] Right.

[00:47:32] And fashion models are available to come in on H-1B.

[00:47:36] Okay, so whether she did or not is probably extraneous to the discussion.

[00:47:40] But the point of the matter is they're hiring a lot of people from India and China and Japan.

[00:47:48] And honestly, I have seen people come here to the United States.

[00:47:53] You know, I spent 16 years at a university.

[00:47:56] And I watched a lot of individuals come to the United States on student visas in technology fields and get their degree, get their PhD, for example, and then become hired as H-1B people.

[00:48:10] They were educated at U.S. universities and they got hired.

[00:48:15] So it can be done.

[00:48:16] The EB-1 visa, just so everybody knows, is also called the Einstein visa because it's designed for individuals with extraordinary abilities in their fields.

[00:48:25] Melania was a model at the time, of course, and came in on that.

[00:48:28] She's just extraordinary in her field.

[00:48:29] So, boom, she's in.

[00:48:31] And that brings up some other questions and everything.

[00:48:33] But the bottom line is do you believe in the program?

[00:48:35] Should we keep it?

[00:48:36] Should we jettison it?

[00:48:37] If we should jettison it, how quickly?

[00:48:38] I think we should jettison it, but I don't think we can do it overnight.

[00:48:41] That's my take.

[00:48:41] I think it's going to be hard to jettison it overnight for this reason.

[00:48:45] It's pointed out.

[00:48:46] I mean, a lot of the people that are getting these, quote, unquote, Ivy League educations nowadays, whether it's MIT or the Harvard or the Yale or the Princeton, or you can name them as easily as I can,

[00:48:56] I really do think that the time is not too far in the distance where people say, oh, you were educated at Harvard?

[00:49:02] I feel bad for you.

[00:49:03] I mean, the fact of the matter is that what we have done is we have gone soft on really solid educational principles.

[00:49:14] And we're worshiping at the altar of the humanist religion.

[00:49:20] And they've become woke societies.

[00:49:22] Yeah.

[00:49:23] And thus, we're back to Vivek Ramaswamy's point about our culture, doctor.

[00:49:27] Yeah.

[00:49:27] Our culture has been undermined at the most senior levels.

[00:49:31] Columbia.

[00:49:32] I mean, you mentioned all of the really, really highly, formerly highly regarded, I guess I should say, educational institutions have really kind of done a belly flop in the last decade or two and probably started a long time before that.

[00:49:50] But the fact of the matter is we have kind of let our guard down and we've offshored our steel production and we've kind of offshored our high tech people.

[00:50:01] Now, we brought in – okay, there's so much going through my mind right now.

[00:50:05] We brought in a lot of, quote, unquote, former Nazis after World War II for our space and missile programs.

[00:50:12] And from sciences, right?

[00:50:14] Absolutely.

[00:50:15] Because we're really talking about this, oh, gene manipulation stuff.

[00:50:20] What's that called?

[00:50:22] Gene manipulation?

[00:50:23] I don't know.

[00:50:24] Are we talking about trying to look for a super race or what?

[00:50:28] Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

[00:50:30] They brought in a lot of those people because the super race plan was backed by the United States and promoted Hitler and everything else in that.

[00:50:36] And then eventually when Hitler took the axe, they brought that all underground and, you know, continued the research.

[00:50:42] Well, you'd be shocked at how many are involved in that.

[00:50:44] Eugenics.

[00:50:45] The eugenics program.

[00:50:46] No, that's what I mean.

[00:50:46] Eugenics, yes.

[00:50:47] Okay, the eugenics program has a lot of very, very prominent individuals that have been held in very high regard.

[00:50:55] Bill Gates being one of them.

[00:50:56] All of these things, we have lost – taken their eye off the ball.

[00:51:01] And we've forgotten what we were as a nation.

[00:51:04] And it's this hard work and devotion and, you know, rock-ribbed independence, all that kind of stuff has been given away.

[00:51:13] In fact, I look at some of the educational programs nowadays where group projects seem to be the driving factor, where it's this groupthink mentality.

[00:51:26] And, oh, they've got to be able to work with other people when they get out in the workforce.

[00:51:31] And all they do is they get this group mentality going to the point that they lose track of any creative value because they're all thinking inside the box.

[00:51:42] I mean, we could talk at length about that.

[00:51:45] But so anyway, the H-1B program has gobs of problems.

[00:51:50] But the epidemic problem seems to me in the universities where you get brought into a university and your indoctrination begins with telling you how there's 47,000 times of different sexual orientations or some silly thing as you go to check into the university.

[00:52:09] This rock-ribbed, hard-learning, you know, if we're going to do science and engineering, let's do science and engineering, not like fake science like we did for the jab.

[00:52:19] You know?

[00:52:20] And so, yeah, there's tons of problems.

[00:52:23] And the H-1B program may right now be a stopgap, but I really do believe we've got to figure out a way to extract ourselves from that because if we can't stand on our own two feet, it'll be like, where's our steel industry?

[00:52:39] Well, it's in China.

[00:52:40] Well, you build a 90...

[00:52:41] So the same thing happens with workers just as it does with pipeline for products.

[00:52:46] And you can't, you know, manufacture in the United States because there's no pipeline of raw materials geared towards the United States.

[00:52:52] You'd end up with a situation where you just can't, unless everybody did it together and you eventually built the infrastructure, we don't have the resources.

[00:52:58] I tried to bring back, believe it or not, manufacturing to the United States for a company that I was a consultant for.

[00:53:04] And I was tasked with how to bring back the manufacturing.

[00:53:06] And I came back to them with a report and said it's not possible.

[00:53:10] You can't get the raw materials that you need to do it.

[00:53:14] Not to mention you can't compete on labor.

[00:53:16] I mean, look, we're talking about what kind of quality of life you want to have in America versus the quality of life of some of these people in Vietnam or different places.

[00:53:23] And you'll never compete in that reality.

[00:53:25] And then, hey, because we've destroyed America over the last 50 years, you can't get even the pipeline of raw materials to get it done.

[00:53:35] The South of you was kind of an amazing American accomplishment, Geneva Steel.

[00:53:43] Oh, yeah.

[00:53:44] And that was taking apart lock, stock and barrel every nut and bolt and shipped to China for almost nothing.

[00:53:51] It was like if they'll pay shipping, we'll give it to them, you know, kind of thing.

[00:53:55] That's the way we're doing with our educations right now.

[00:53:58] And virtually everything else, we've become a woke society.

[00:54:02] Our military leaders are caught up in it.

[00:54:04] It's just an astounding kind of a conundrum we've built ourselves.

[00:54:10] All right, ladies and gentlemen, hang tight.

[00:54:13] Hour one on the can, hour two coming up.

[00:54:15] It's Dr. Scott Bradley and yours truly on your radio.

[00:54:18] I'm telling you, they want to sow fear into everything you think and do and believe.

[00:54:21] Don't let it happen.

[00:54:22] Trust in Almighty God for your answers.

[00:54:25] Obey God Almighty.

[00:54:27] Have faith in Christ.

[00:54:28] And as you do, you'll replace fear with faith.

[00:54:32] And we the people with faith can work hard and prepare to meet Christ when he returns.

[00:54:38] That's what I'm all about because I testify he's resurrected and he lives.

[00:54:42] All right.

[00:54:43] God save the republic.

[00:54:44] Have a look.
