From Surrogacy Scandals to National Security: Why Congress Must Act

In this thought-provoking episode, Sam Bushman and Sheriff Richard Mack tackle some of the most pressing and controversial issues facing America today. Broadcasting live from the Rocky Mountains, they dive into the alarming rise of foreign surrogacy practices, with a spotlight on affluent Chinese nationals using U.S. surrogates to secure citizenship for their children. The hosts break down the legal, ethical, and national security implications of this trend, questioning the effectiveness of current laws and the role of Congress in addressing these loopholes.

The conversation expands to broader concerns about congressional inaction, the challenges facing President Trump’s agenda, and the ongoing debate over birthright citizenship. Sam and Sheriff Mack don’t shy away from tough questions about political accountability, the influence of special interests, and the need for common sense—or constitutional—solutions in Washington.

The episode also addresses recent tragic events, including a terrorist attack in Australia, and the global rise in anti-Semitism. The hosts reflect on the importance of self-defense, the consequences of gun-free zones, and the moral responsibility of leaders to stand against hatred and violence.

With candid analysis, historical context, and a call for unity under shared values, this episode is a must-listen for anyone concerned about the future of America and the principles that define it.
