You're listening to the Liberty News Radio Network, and this is the Political Cesspool.
The Political Cesspool, going across the South and worldwide, as the South's foremost populist conservative radio program.
And here to guide you through the murky waters of the Political Cesspool is your host, James Edwards.
Well, we're not going to stop now, ladies and gentlemen.
Let's continue on tonight.
We are red hot and rolling here at TPC, and it continues the second hour with Sam Bushman, one of my very best friends in life, a true, truly honorable man, a family man, a man's man.
He is the owner of the Liberty News Radio Network, the host of Liberty Roundtable, LibertyRoundtable.com.
Sam is in Texas tonight where he gave a speech to another wonderful conference.
Sam, welcome.
Thanks for being with us, especially while you're on the road and tending to important business.
What can you tell us?
Wow, James, delighted to be on the radio with you, my friend.
And I am in Texas, and believe it or not, it's a beautiful night.
It is not freezing cold.
The temperatures have come back.
It's the humid South like you would expect in Texas.
And, you know, walking around outside right now, dark, as you know, and it's just a beautiful, perfect temperature, quite a bit of humidity.
But it's just amazing when you walk around outside here how you, how the heck can it just get so frigid, crazy, extreme cold?
Just amazing.
Just thinking about it.
If you'd have been there.
And now it's all gone.
Last week, if you'd have been there a week ago tonight, you couldn't have even gotten in town.
It's amazing.
Yeah, so it's shocking, and it makes you wonder if they are manipulating the weather or what's going on.
It just seems so extreme and so out of character that it's hard to even comprehend.
But yeah, we came down to Texas.
It's been an incredible two days.
It's the Constitutional Sheriffs and Peace Officers Association conference led by Richard Mack president.
Richard Mack's claimed to fame as he beat Bill Clinton at the Supreme Court, the only man to ever beat Bill Clinton on anything but a sexual matter.
And so there you go.
But he beat Bill Clinton over the gun control Brady Bill.
And ever since then, it's been the Constitutional Sheriffs and Peace Officers Association.
As everyone knows, it's a training organization to really help sheriffs and public officials understand their role and keep their oaths of office and to understand how to act constitutionally and to behave appropriately.
So that's kind of an important thing to really understand.
Thank you so much.
They gave me a big old battery so I don't run out of batteries.
Really, it's truly an incredible experience to be here.
As everyone may or may not remember, I am the operations vice president of operations or the operations director of the Constitutional Sheriff's Organization.
Have been for, I don't know, I met Richard Mack in 96 after he beat Bill Clinton.
And I've been really working with the organization ever since for the last probably 15 years.
I've really been to many ways, Richard's right-hand man, working with him on these projects.
And we've been all over the country training and educating.
And I'm telling you, James, every event we have, I say, is the best one.
And this is true to form this weekend.
And there's a few things that your audience particularly will dig.
I'll get into it in a minute.
We've got probably, what do we count?
My daughter Anna's with me.
What do we count?
34 sheriffs that took a photo?
34 sheriffs that took a photo with us.
Probably 200 people, 250 people in the room.
Social distance, of course.
I'm just kidding.
Nobody was wearing masks.
The only people that were wearing masks at the event were the two people from the Washington Post trying to create a negative story on us.
And we had a phenomenal time.
Are you there, James?
I'm here, Sam.
And come on.
I'm lost.
No problem.
People are trying to call me a little line.
I want to make sure I didn't lose you.
Thanks so much.
So anyway, we had an incredible event, had those sheriffs there.
There were probably 200, 225 people in the room, and it was incredible.
Christian Hall was one of our speakers.
Several sheriffs were our speakers.
Michael Perutka was one of our speakers.
Incredible constitutional attorneys to lead the charge.
I was able to give a speech as well.
And I'm telling you, I am telling you that the sheriffs are on fire.
Like I have never seen them before.
Oftentimes, sheriffs will say, kind of, I'm with you in spirit.
I agree with what you say.
I'm a little bit hesitant.
I'm almost all the way there.
This time, the sheriffs were leading the charge.
And they literally, many people spoke about how every one of us are being called white supremacists.
They literally doubled down on this theme.
Christian Hall led the charge.
They're going to call every one of us white supremacists.
It doesn't matter if you're white or not.
The ideology is what they are going to call you a white supremacist over.
So if you're black, if you're Latino, if whoever you are, if you agree with us on the principles, on the ideas, then you are a white supremacist.
So Jesse Lee Peterson, for example, would be an absolute blatant hardcore white supremacist.
And it goes on.
But these sheriffs were literally talking about this narrative like I have never, ever heard them speak about before.
They've pushed so hard and so overreached on this topic that even the average sheriff who would never be involved in this kind of a discussion are now blatantly saying it's a lie.
They're coming after the Christians.
It's a lie because if you believe in the Constitution, you're a white supremacist.
It's a lie because we want to uphold the rule of law.
It's a lie because we want to protect the border.
So this white supremacy theme and the border were two of the biggest topics at the event.
Of course, the Constitution, checks and balances were important.
Oath of office was important.
But I'm telling you, I've never heard sheriffs go off like I've heard this weekend, James.
Never.
Sam, this is Keith.
Hi, Keith.
Hope everything's, how's it going, buddy?
Let me tell you, I think it's happening just at the right time because with this Operation Checkpoint and with this effort to basically come after all people who are to the left of the mainstream narrative today, which is left-wing lunacy, they're basically trying to turn our law enforcement into a modern day checker against the ordinary American people.
And I think that's right around the corner.
And, you know, one of the big things that we've got to do is have an institution like the sheriffs of the United States of America on our side.
So, you know, this is this is there's nothing more important than making sure that we have the sheriffs of America on our side, in my opinion.
Amen, Keith.
I think you're spot on.
I think really they've been speaking the same things as you have been over the last couple of months, but I've heard you on the radio speaking about this as well.
We basically did an event in Virginia several months ago, and some Texas sheriffs were there at that event and said, hey, we need you to come down to do an event in Texas.
That's why we're here.
We literally had this time a sheriff sponsor our events.
In fact, sheriffs are getting continuing education credits for their continuing education at our seminars now.
And now we had some Arkansas sheriffs beg us to come to Arkansas.
That's probably where we're going next.
Well, be sure to come to Tennessee because we need you over here as much as anyone needs you.
Well, I think what Sam is talking about is that this coincides with everything we've been talking about in recent weeks, where it seems as though there is beginning to fault lines are beginning to appear.
And it may get much worse for constitutionalists, for Christians, for traditionalists, for nationalists, for everybody before it gets better.
But I believe the fault lines are beginning to form.
And that's okay.
If it takes it getting worse, it took it getting this bad before you could even have a little bit of pushback.
So it may have to get worse before you really deliver some legitimate victories and long-lasting, sea-changing.
Yeah, James.
I think you're exactly right.
I think the old fictitious made-up fault lines to divide us are falling away as people see the truth.
And real fault lines based on fundamental beliefs and ideology. and fundamental understanding right to the core are starting to materialize.
And I think it's a good thing overall.
Not that I want division, but people are starting to dig in and say, where do I really believe in?
Which side am I on?
Which was a big claim in the conference.
Which side are you on, Sam?
Well, you know what side I'm on, buddy.
And I'll tell you, Sam's down at Texas speaking at this wonderful conference.
You have other conferences going on.
We talked about them in the first hour.
CPAC, Sam, is being compared to a Nazi rally.
CPAC.
I mean, these are basically moderate Democrats masquerading as Republicans.
That's where we are now.
We'll continue the conversation with the great Sam Bushman next.
Have we realized the assault against our lives, our liberties, our faith?
To defeat this assault, Christians and all people of goodwill should have strategies to prevail in our faith and principles, which are simple.
No need for a complex formula.
One goal, one aim.
A strategy like the heroic Christians of the past.
We win, they lose.
Nothing less.

Well, my mom smokes and my dad smokes and I saw them smoking, so I tried it.
They're telling me not to smoke, but they smoke themselves.
When it comes to smoking, are you sending mixed signals?
But when you teach someone a certain way to do things and you go back on that certain way, it sends mixed signals to the person that they're trying to teach.
The parents need to be the example.
Smoking.

And now, back to tonight's show.
We're back with the legendary Sam Bushman, the great Sam Bushman, and he's down in Texas tonight, and he just gave a speech.
And we're going to be digging into that speech now as we go forward.
This hour Sam's with us for the full second hour.
And Sam, if I'm not mistaken, you spoke and included as a talking point in your speech Operation Chokepoint.
Did you move forward with that narrative and with that line of thought in your speech?
And could you break that down for us?
I talked a little bit about Operation Choke Point during the speech, but not too much.
I had more private conversations.
And the CSPOA and many sheriffs are very concerned about this.
Operation Chokepoint, if you guys don't know, started under the Barack Obama administration.
At that time, it was called Operation Chokepoint 1.0.
And what would happen in Operation Chokepoint is that the federal government, through the executive branch, literally doubled down and said, hey, we're going to use the banking cartel to go after businesses, companies that we don't like.
And when I say that we don't like, what I mean is these companies might be gun dealers.
They might be any other patriotic group.
James Edwards would be a great example.
Sam Bushman would be another example.
And their goal is to use the banks to chop off their merchant services so that they can't raise any funds and choke Operation Chokepoint, choke their funding.
And so that was Operation Choke Point 1.0.
And it actually caused a lot of trouble for a lot of businesses, but it wasn't that hardcore.
Meaning that if you got chopped off by one bank, you could always go and search for another bank, another merchant account.
And then you could get cranked up and it gave you trouble, but it didn't stop you in your tracks.
Well, then when Donald Trump took office, believe it or not, he shut down.
He literally shut down Operation Choke Point 1.0.
So the Trump administration, it wasn't as bad.
It still happened some because there's a lot of residual swamp monsters that still carried it out, even though it was against the administration's attempts to shut it down.
Well, now that Donald Trump is gone, and this is one of the things that people just don't understand behind the scenes, that Trump should get credit for.
He tried to shut this thing down.
Now Joe Biden has cranked it up on steroids, and now it's called Operation Chokepoint 2.0.
And Operation ChokePoint 2.0 literally does what Barack did, but worse.
What I mean by worse is now they've managed to, with the COVID, coalesce all these banks together.
And so when you get chopped off at the knees for your funding via your merchant services or your ability to charge credit cards, to make it simple, now you have nowhere else to go because all the banks have been notified on a big old blacklist.
Sam, if I may.
You're not to receive service, James.
Pardon the interruption, my friend, but just for a point of information here, obviously you know the situation that we have been dealing with behind the scenes for a month, which during the first hour of tonight's broadcast, we made known to the listening audience.
We've been completely cut off and for good.
So we've been playing the 16-year game of whack-a-mole where we would pop back up with a different merchant provider.
Only one month into the Biden administration, TPC is forevermore, has forevermore lost credit card processing.
And what you just said is so true for people who are not privy to this and have not been through the rigors that we have.
And that is that the underwriters, you can go with whatever processor you wish, even the ones that say we service high-risk clients.
Let me just take, if you don't mind, Sam, a parenthetical departure here.
Operation Chokepoint, I'm reading from Wikipedia right here, was a 2013 initiative of the United States Department of Justice that encouraged banks in the United States and the businesses they did with firearms dealer or payday lenders and other companies believed to be at high risk for fraud and money laundering.
They had the banks work with them to give a little extra eye on those companies.
High risk.
High risk is working.
James, let's be clear.
The Justice Department is carrying this out, but it's at the behest of the administration in power that they carry those edicts out, though.
Let's be clear.
Now, that is a good point.
And so these merchant categories, the FDIC, the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, had listed included, basically, when you talk about high-risk, you're talking about websites that sell firearms or ammunition, online gambling websites, websites that broker in prescription drugs or pornography.
That's your basic high-risk category.
Now, high-risk now has been expanded to include political dissidents like TPC.
Now, we have been banned many times in the past, even prior to Biden, but we've always been able to bounce back.
Now, we've never had a chargeback.
We've never been engaged, of course, in any fraud or money laundering or anything illegal.
Never had a chargeback, never had a complaint from anybody who ever sent a donation online.
But it is sites like us that cannot find servicing now.
And we went to all, listen, people have emailed me, hey, check out this, talk to this.
But we've talked to everybody.
We've talked to Peter Brimolow, Lydia Brimolow.
We've talked to people in Europe.
We've talked to Lana.
We've talked to everybody who's been through this.
We are blacklisted everywhere.
And that's the thing.
That's the thing.
That's high risk.
High risk is political dissident.
And to your point, Sam, they all use the same banks.
You can go to the First Amendment processor or the Second Amendment processor.
We service, we're here to serve as high-risk clients, so-called high-risk clients.
No, they still have to go through the same banks, and that's where the road ends.
It doesn't matter who your processor is or what they say.
You will end there.
It all has to go through a bank.
And there's been all this buying consolidation over the past 20 years of mergers of buying.
So there are a lot few players now, probably, than there even were in 2013.
So it's not able to control them.
And what they've done is they've started with these high-risk idea.
This is just a false narrative, this high-risk idea.
What they've done is they've selected gun companies or gambling or pornography or whatever else so that the average person says, yeah, yeah, yeah, get them, shut them down.
They're near to do well as we need to.
But what they've really done then is silently behind the scenes, ratcheted up what high-risk means.
It means, hey, when the people are afraid of the government, we have tyranny.
When the government's afraid of the people, we have liberty.
And we've had so much liberty that the government is afraid of us, and that's why they want to call us high-risk and shut us down.
And they're backing this narrative and creating this blacklist of people, businesses, organizations, and they're attacking their money because if we don't have any money, we can't travel.
If we don't have any money, we can't have events.
If we can't have an event and we can't travel, we can't raise money.
If we can't raise money, then we can't peddle our horn, which is what the government would call it, of the Constitution to the world.
that we can't educate.
If we can't educate and we're silenced, then hey, the first five, well, I should say the five elements of guaranteed liberties in, rights in the First Amendment are all gone.
Okay?
Your right to a free press, your right to freedom of speech, gone, gone.
Because you don't have any money.
You're not going to get either of them in the modern day, right?
Your right to freedom of religion, gone.
We'll just say you can't meet because you'll kill everybody with COVID, right?
Now you got free speech, free press, freedom of religion.
You've also got your redress of grievance, right?
But that's gone because how are you going to go to court if you don't have any money?
You're going to assemble.
Well, you better not because you're a white supremacist.
And then what they'll do is they'll create a false flag operation and make your organization look radical and terroristic.
And then they'll call you a domestic threat and they'll crank up the terrorism charge.
So they've literally obliterated an Operation Choke Point 2.0 is the core of it all.
All five guarantees in the First Amendment, James, all in one wham.
Welcome, Joe.
Okay, Sam.
One other thing, let me point this out.
There is actually one of the luminaries over at CNN, one of the people that has a program who said, this doesn't affect freedom of speech.
You can get out on the street corner like they do at Hyde Park in England and speak to your heart's content.
But we don't have to provide you with a microphone.
In fact, we can cut off your use of a microphone and anything else.
Well, see, that's the way they're justifying this.
And unfortunately, I have no faith whatsoever in the Supreme Court or any other branch of the judiciary to stand up and protect us from these specious arguments.
Keith, what Sam just said in my God.
That's right.
And we're still in our father's world, are we not?
What Sam said a moment ago and what you just said in response, we're going to pick up with at the top of the next segment how this is, in fact, a true assault on our most basic freedoms guaranteed that's by the Constitution.
But we'll explain it and we'll lay it all out when we come back.
Let's say it's pursuing liberty, using the Constitution as our guide.
You're listening to Liberty News Radio, USA Radio News with Wendy King.
President Biden spoke at the White House after passage of the $1.9 trillion coronavirus relief bill in the House in a near-party line vote early in the morning.
With their vote, we're one step closer to vaccinating the nation.
We are one step closer to putting $1,400 in the pockets of Americans.
We're one step closer to extending unemployment benefits for millions of Americans who are shortly going to lose them.
The legislation now heads to the Senate.
The FDA is expected to make a final decision on authorizing the Johnson ⁇ Johnson one-shot COVID-19 vaccine this weekend.
The advisory panel has already endorsed it.
The company promises more than 100 million doses will roll out in the next four months.
This means with Moderna and Pfizer expecting 600 million doses by August, there could be a surplus of the vaccines in the U.S. this summer.

President Biden paid a trip to Houston on Friday from the USA Radio Texas Bureau.
Here's Val Dior.
Joe Biden and First Lady Jill heard firsthand from Texans still struggling from that brutal winter weather on his first trip to a major disaster area since he took office.
He was briefed by emergency officials and thanked workers for doing God's work.
He promised the federal government will be there for Texans as they try to recover, not just from this storm, but also the health and economic crisis caused by COVID.
Tens of thousands of Houston area residents are still without safe water.
He learned while visiting the Houston food bank and a briefing from acting FEMA Administrator Bob Fenton.
Homeland Security Advisor Liz Sherwood Randall accompanied the Bidens to Houston and they were joined by Governor Greg Abbott and Senator John Cornyn, both Republicans, as well as a long list of Democrats, spearheaded by Houston area members of Congress, Harris County Judge Lena Hildalgo, and Houston Mayor Sylvester Turner.
From the Texas USA Radio News Bureau, I'm Valdi Or.
You're listening to USA Radio News.
Oh yeah, wanna be by my side.
Oh yeah, now it's finally time.
It's time to jump back into the political cesspool to be part of the show and have your voice heard around the world.
Call us at 1-866-986-6397.
We're back with Sam Bushman, and the conversation we're having this hour with him, I think, is a continuation of conversations we've had with guests all this year so far.
I mean, as young as this year is, we have been talking about the cycles of nations and of civilizations.
Obviously, the last couple of weeks, we've been talking about this encouraging poll that shows people are beginning to coalesce.
We talked about it with Brad Griffin last week.
Interestingly, I think Donald Trump, even though he wasn't able to get a lot of long-standing policy enacted legislatively speaking, he was able to trigger the media and the gatekeepers of polite society or whatever you want to call it.
The elites.
The elites to such an extent that they went so far in their overreach that people are beginning to naturally respond.
And so Brad Griffin, again, we'll talk about this next week.
He writes that the war on terror tactics against whites will backfire, and it is backfiring so far.
Interestingly, we've lost 300 Twitter followers since the show began.
That's not because, of course, these people are unfollowing us.
It's because Twitter's banning them, and they'll ban us in turn, and that's okay, too.
Hey, listen, Sam, though, what we're talking about, though, is this so-called high-risk, the high-risk.
I mean, obviously, we don't, by any reasonable standard of measurement, the political cesspool, we don't fall into any high-risk category.
It's 16 years, thousands of donations online, never once a complaint, never once a chargeback.
But you mentioned, and Keith followed up.
I might add.
You are in one high-risk area, my friend.
Hit me with it.
Then I got one thing I got to ask you.
You are a truth teller.
That is the US regime, my friend.
And that's what's got us.
I actually put that in a letter that will be going out to our supporters because of our refusal to stop telling the truth.
And as you mentioned, though, and as Keith was talking about, it is an attack on our most basic freedoms of speech and assembly.
As you mentioned, Sam, you have no freedom of speech without the ability to fund it.
I mean, yes, I could go out and yell in my yard to anybody within shouting distance, but it would just be me talking to the tree.
That's not freedom of speech.
I can't have freedom of assembly without the ability to bring money in because it costs money to rent a venue and to do these things.
It's been the same way ever since they made the printing press.
You couldn't have the right of free speech through printing unless you could buy a press and the ink and the paper to print your broadside.
So they're saying, well, you still have the freedom of speech and assembly, but without the ability to fund such freedoms, you don't have it, do you, Sam?
No, you don't.
And funding is critical.
It's always been critical, as Keith wisely pointed out, hey, printing presses back in the day weren't cheap.
The labor to assemble all your different ink trays and everything else to literally print wasn't cheap.
It took skill.
It took know-how.
It took dollars and funding to fund the people to make it happen.
Modern day is the same.
Freedom of assembly is under assault because people like us are afraid to assemble peacefully because we're afraid that somebody will be an insurrectionist.
There'll be a false flag operation.
It'll be blamed on us.
It was done in Charlottesville, and it was done on January 6th in Washington, D.C. They're very good at covering their tracks.
They lie and manipulate the media.
I'm literally sitting here with people who have come to this conference that literally were at the Capitol, and they documented completely different stories in your mainstream press.
Okay, so somebody's lying, and what they're doing is intentionally making it impossible for us to peacefully assemble.
If you want to riot, then your Black Lives Matter.
Look, Black Lives Matter got $90 million in the last year alone.
They literally published a screenshot of their bank account.
What?
Press documented it.
Yes.
Okay.
They get $90 million and we get to where you can't even go to the Capitol.
You're in insurrection.
Well, Sam, just think about this.
That whole thing points out the whole difference between the reaction to Black Lives Matter protesting and Trump supporters or so-called white nationalists in Charlottesville protesting is this.
that does not work unless the establishment is behind you, just like they were in the civil rights movement.
Now, black people...
He's exactly right, ladies and gentlemen.
See, black people got this idea that somehow they linked arms started swaying back and forth and singing spirituals and the walls came tumbling down.
If the news media had not portrayed them as heroes and the police as villains, then it would never have gotten anywhere.
They would have had the same reaction that we got to January the 6th and Charlottesville because of the narrative spun by the mainstream media.
Let me ask you one thing.
This is my modest proposal.
You're at the sheriff's organization right now.
This is a golden opportunity.
You know, if we're going to have the nullification known as sanctuary, sanctuary cities, well, on the city level, who declares it a sanctuary city?
The mayor.
On the state level, who declares it a sanctuary state?
The governor.
But in the counties, who declares you're a sanctuary county?
It has to be the sheriffs.
That sheriff's group needs to get together, and if they pass something like this infringement on the Second Amendment they're proposing or any other violation of our constitutional rights, they need to act as a group.
And all of these sheriffs, rather than having one outlier come out and make himself a target for the entire media, have them come out and say, I declare my county to be a sanctuary county, and we're not going to enforce that law here.
Yeah, we're working on a lot of the ones with the county ideas.
The Second Amendment of Sanctuary Counties, we talked quite a bit about, and a bunch of sheriffs are gathering together.
The resolution, the Constitutional Sheriffs and Peace Officers Resolution that we brought forth in 2014, as you remember, James, a lot of people signed it.
We had hundreds of sheriffs sign it, got brought up again, and we're about to release version 2.0 of that constitutional sheriff's resolution where it's anywhere sheriffs, public officials, the American people can all sign it.
And it's a resolution about what the sheriff's responsibility is to interpose and to— The sheriff is the chief executive officer of a county.
That's correct.
Under the Constitutional Commission.
So block abuses of power by other government agencies based on jurisdictional reality.
Anyway, I bring this up because the 1.0 of that document primarily said the federal government needs to back off.
The latest incarnation of this document, believe it or not, led by Michael Peruka and Chris Ann Hollis, the two constitutional attorneys, with us.
Now we're adding states and any other interfering municipalities shall not interfere.
So we're strengthening that document and re-releasing it.
And this time we believe it'll have 10 times the mojo it had before, guys.
I think that's a great, great activity on the part of this group.
What we're seeing in Memphis, for example, right now is the total fecklessness of the city government.
The city government botched the COVID rollout.
They botched the recovery from the ice storm.
We still don't have water pressure in large parks of Memphis.
Back in 1963, under Public Works Commissioner Claude Armour, they got all those water mains fixed in a day.
This is, you know, at some point, governors or even county executives like sheriffs need to start talking about revoking the certificate of incorporation for these cities that prove themselves to be unable to deliver honest, fair, effective public services.
Now, some of our sheriffs are starting to arrest public officials for their criminal activity as well.
Pam Elliott in Texas is one of them.
She was a former sheriff.
Now she's a detective.
And they're literally arresting some of their local people for criminal activity.
So we're starting to see a sea change in how much of a backbone the sheriffs have and what they're willing to stand on and deliver and do.
And I'm telling you that I've been to these conferences for a long time, ladies and gentlemen.
Like I said, I've been working with Richard Mack since like 96 or so.
So 106, 116, 25 years or so.
And I'm telling you that I've never seen such mojo from the sheriffs.
And it's not just talk.
And they have so much power, too, by the way.
They have power that I don't think half of them realize they have.
Well, maybe they do.
I can guarantee you the ones there know it.
But here's the thing, Sam.
The actions, the overreaching extremist, truly extremist actions that the establishment, the regime is taking to silence voices of dissent, to deprive them of their God-given and constitutional rights of freedom of speech and assembly, as we've been talking about this hour.
That will lead to violence.
If you lead a man to believe that he has no other recourse than extra legal recourse, that will lead to violence.
That is why a sheriff in this case is so essential because we don't want it to come to that.
And they are pushing us to that.
And we have to make sure that everyone maintains their discipline so we maintain the moral high ground as we've always had it, Sam.
I think you're right 100%, James.
And one of the other things the sheriffs are doing is really starting to talk about solidifying their sheriff's policies because it's one thing for a sheriff to stand up, but if he does, he stands up on his own.
Even if he's got sheriffs across the country in a network, that certainly helps.
But what he really needs to do, and I played actually as part of my speech this time, I played my speech from, I can't remember if it was 2012 or 2014.
It was in Las Vegas where the title of my talk was, Sheriffs will be backed by Americans.
And we'll talk about that coming up.
Stay tuned, everybody.
Sam Bushman, the one and only.
I was listening to his show this morning.
He's on every Monday through Saturday.
He takes the Lord's Day off to remember the Sabbath and keep it holy.
But LibertyRoundtable.com, that's where you need to be every weekday and Saturday morning.
Stay tuned.
And more of Sam next.
Here on the Liberty News Radio Network.
Getting the kids to school, cleaning the house, doing the laundry.
It seems that the work routine as a stay-at-home mom is never ending.
And even though I'm a prime grocery shopper in our family of four, I simply don't have time to scrutinize all the labels on the countless food products I buy.
Oh, sure, I've noticed all the latest certification seals, organic, non-GMO, gluten-free.
It definitely seems to be the latest craze.
But it was only recently that kosher certification seals caught my attention.
You see, my husband had me download an app called Kosher Certified, and it shed light on a century-old certification industry that slipped under the radar screen from the majority of our public.
I also noticed a question mark at the end of the app name.
And that makes great sense as there's far more questions regarding this industry than answers.
In fact, the developers refer to this as the kosher question.
Sure, I'm a busy mom and didn't pay attention to our food culture, but now I have transparency, a convenient grocery list feature, and the ability to eat in favor of my family's best interests.
And you can discover it too at thekosherQuestion.com.
If Planned Parenthood were what they publicly declare themselves to be, they would welcome transparency.
We all know why they hide.
Because we know what they hide.
We can confirm federal judges who follow the Constitution rather than reverse engineer their preferred policy outcomes.
The truth about abortion is spreading because of advances in medical imaging, because of brave journalists, tireless activists, compassionate doctors, nurses, and other healthcare professionals.
The rising generation of young Americans is the most pro-life in decades because they know too.
And one day soon, we will reaffirm our nation's principles in their dignified fullness and avow once again that all men are created equal.
All are entitled to life.

Welcome back.
Get on the show.
Call us on James's Dime at 1-866-986-6397.
Ladies and gentlemen, it's time to get exceedingly frank here.
And I didn't plan on telling you this tonight, but circumstances ebb and flow even in real time.
I may have zero followers on Twitter by the end of the show.
I've lost 300 followers on Twitter since we went on the air tonight.
And it's not because, again, these people are unfollowing us.
It's because they are being themselves banned.
This is, listen, this is what it is.
Oh, you're the new Donald Trump.
There was a scene in one of the nightmare on Elm Streets where Freddy Krueger is being beaten by someone and he says, thank you.
May I have another?
I mean, that's us.
We love it.
I mean, keep hitting us because if we weren't getting that sort of treatment, I would wonder what's going on.
So if, listen, folks, here's a situation.
We've been deplatformed from earth, and we're here, and we continue on through God's grace and from the generosity of our audience.
I will tell you without any embarrassment or whatever.
I mean, you listen, you look at our portfolio of accomplishments and what we have done together, and I see this as a collective.
I see this as a collaboration between us and our audience.
Without one, the other doesn't exist.
A few years ago, we received a check for $5,000.
That was the single biggest contribution.
And all of the news, the multi-million dollars worth of news this show has generated, the single biggest contribution we've ever actually had to our own coffers to keep this show on the air was $5,000.
Now, that's a ton of money.
That is a ton of money.
It's a drop in the bucket to the organizations and the entities that we challenge and that we are up against every day.
And let's be clear.
It's a lot of money, James.
Let's be clear.
It is a lot of money.
It is a ton of money.
It's a ton of money to us.
But I guarantee you, every minute that Shepard Smith is on CNN, he gets $5,000.
Well, look, all that's true and let's also be clear and put it in perspective.
The costs to syndicate radio are tremendous as well.
So we don't mean to minimize the donation.
What we do mean to do is explain the reality of what it costs to make this stuff happen.
I'm not minimizing it at all, but what you say is so true, Sam.
What we do here costs a lot.
I mean, if it was free, we wouldn't ask for money.
I mean, we're not here.
We're all volunteers here.
If it was free, we wouldn't ask for anything.
If we could fund it ourselves, we wouldn't ask for anything.
$5,000, that was the biggest of all the accomplishments and all the news the political cesspool has ever made.
That's the biggest.
Now, I could count on my fingers and toes the number of $1,000 single contributions we've made on my finger and toes.
The political cesspool for 16 years, and I think we have accomplished as much, if not more, than any of our peers.
It has been funded to the tune of $25, $50, $10, $100.
Those are huge.
That triggers the incentive every quarter.
$100, $200.
And by the way, can I tell you a little note?
And that's it.
Go.
Here's a note of interest for you.
The $90 million that I told you that Black Lives Matter got last year and documented to the Associated Press they received, their average donation.
You want to know how much it was?
How much?
$30.
Well, that is interesting, but I'll tell you this.
I mean, we didn't receive enough $30 contributions to accumulate tens of millions.
And that's the thing, folks, that brings us back full circle.
And Sam, this is it.
So BLM, I think you could legitimately, very honestly, categorize them as a terrorist organization because what are they known for?
Shooting police officers, raising cities, arson, looting, et cetera.
They were rewarded not only with political concessions from our so-called elected representatives, but tens of millions of dollars.
From the captains of American industry, from the CEOs of Fortune 500 countries.
There it is, Keith.
And I can guarantee you they sent more than $30 a piece.
So what I'm saying to our audience tonight, write a check.
Write a check.
Strike back.
Write a check.
Buy cancer with a checkup and a check.
I said in the 50s.
When you write a check, you're landing a blow.
When you write a check, you're throwing a punch.
You send it to us, and we'll make it count.
Sam, continue.
What's important to understand, ladies and gentlemen, this stuff is expensive, and we're not just begging for your money to fund our families.
Okay, I volunteer for the Constitutional Sheriffs and Peace Officers Peace Officers Association, and I'm here with 35-plus sheriffs and many more deputies and other public officials.
For example, on my show this morning, we had Steve Toft, well-known state congressman from the great state of Texas.
And so, you know, we were involved in a lot of these things.
I volunteer for them for free.
They pay some of my travel on occasion.
They pay for a couple of my meals in hotels on occasion, but they don't pay me a penny.
And I volunteer hours and hours and hours and hours.
Same thing with radio.
You know what?
I put more money in the radio than I get out of it.
If you were to do the total sum of what I've gotten radio being in it for 25 years, syndicating other shows and everything else, I'm not saying that I've never got a penny, but I'm saying, hey, all the dollars are swallowed up and more in the syndicative efforts that we do.
And I don't say that to beg for money, but I do say that to say this.
You know what?
I can do what I do forever on a very thin dime.
I'm pretty talented.
I'm pretty good at it.
I can make the syndications happen for hardly any money if I do it all myself.
The problem is to make it grow takes money.
To make it grow and to make those blows count harder.
In other words, we punch back harder.
We have to have money.
I just challenged the Washington Post, who was here today.
Okay.
I just challenged them to come on the radio with me and they chickened out.
Okay.
We challenge them at every turn, every time they turn around.
Little teeny Liberty News Radio interviews Donald Trump, interviews Eric Trump, gets mentioned by all the big boys, ends up challenging the Washington Post at a CSPUA conference.
Okay, why are we doing all this?
How do we do all this?
Because we're dedicated to all get out.
But they pretend we're nobodies, but they refuse to go on the radio with us.
They pretend we're nobodies, but they make time to come to our events.
Why?
Because they know what we know, that we're making a difference.
That's why.
Well, you will whip the tar out of them in a debate, Sam.
That's why they don't want to do it.
You know, let me say this.
I've come up with one idea, just listening, that we need to do.
We need to fight fire with fire.
Remember, some years ago, there was a federal law passed that made it a major felony to burn a church, supposedly to protect black churches from evil white Klansmen or whatnot.
Of course, these evil white clansmen exist only in the imagination of the left.
Well, why don't they extend that law to these historical monuments?
Anybody caught defacing or destroying or tearing down a monument, a statue or whatnot, suffers the same penalty as someone that burns a black church.
Wouldn't that be a very interesting development?
Well, you know, that would bring out the utter violence and utter lawlessness of black lives.
But there will be that, Keith, there will be that leveling of the playing field and true equity when honor and decency and truth is restored.
Sam, you mentioned the Washington Post.
You're talking to them today.
I've been on the phone with Sam and listened to him dress down a reporter in a way, folks, the words do not exist the way Sam could twist a reporter into a pretzel.
It is beyond any talent or capability that I or anybody else that I've ever talked to has.
But of course, the political cesspool has been featured by the Washington Post.
There was one time we were in three separate articles in the Washington Post in one day.
So we play where the big boys live.
And I can remember, of course, not used to any pushback.
When somebody like Sam or you comes back and turns the tables on, yeah, they're used to people begging for forgiveness and so on and so forth.
I will tell you, I was with Sam on Radio Row at the 2016 Republican National Convention, and we probably talked to half the members, the Republican members of Congress, senators, governors.
We talk to everybody.
And yes, this show, this network, this network, we are just a small part of this network.
And every donation that we receive, we kick back a little bit to the network because we don't survive without the network.
This network, this show, our shows are our voices.
We have taken this movement to places that still have not been matched by anyone else.
It's an important thing.
We need the support, Sam.
We are beyond high risk.
Porn, hey, that'll work for you.
You're a porn site.
You sell drugs.
You do any of this stuff.
You can get credit card processing.
We can't.
We need checks.
We need it.
Listen, hey, folks, it doesn't take a lot to keep us going.
As Sam said, on a thin dime and on a spitting polish, we get it done.
I told you that the level of support we're used to, and I am not diminishing the $5, the $10, the $25 contributions we get.
That has kept us on the air and engaged as your voice in the arena for 16 years.
And for Sam Bushman, 25 years.
And I told you the big money, what is to us, big money, what is to the SBLC, the ADL, the major media, $5,000, $1,000.
That's nothing to them.
To us, that is astronomical.
That's galactic, as Jason Kuna, our next guest in the third hour, put it.
Hey, if we can get one 90th.
We can do more with a little than anybody else.
Go, Sam.
If we can get 190th, so $1 million of the amount Black Lives Matter got last year alone, we could run for four years, probably, and we could grow in doing so.
I'll tell you what, if I had a million dollars, I could fund this show until I die.
It's incredible.
You know, they throw, you know, conservatives throw around money, nickels like manhole covers.
But, you know, on the other hand, the left, I don't know how they manage to extort money out of corporate America the way that they do.
But I mean, somebody needs to purchase it and bottle it because that, you know, or else the CEOs have taken absolute leave of their senses and actually embrace and believe all this stuff.
If they do that, we're in a lot worse circumstances than I thought.
Well, I'll tell you this, though.
There is hope to be had.
Sam's down there with a collection of the best sheriffs and the most honorable and constitutionally minded sheriffs in the nation.
We're talking about how Operation Chokepoint, how it is choking out the freedom of speech and assembly of law-abiding.
That's the thing.
Law-abiding, truth-telling American citizens.
Those seem to be the ones that are under target from this legislation or this initiative, not the people who are actually going out there and doing illegal and unlawful acts, Sam.
But we shall overcome.
I'm sure of it.
We will stand together.
We will keep fighting.
We need our audience to fight with us.
Sam Bushman, thank you for being a man of honor.
James, I'm engaged in Operation God Save the United States of America.
Amen.
Amen.
And he will, so long as we call upon his name and as we continue to fight and do things in an honorable way, as we do and as you do, Sam, and as you lead the way in doing.
