Join Sam Bushman, Eldon Stahl, and Sheriff Richard Mack for a powerful episode of Liberty RoundTable Live.

In this wide-ranging discussion, the hosts tackle the ongoing government shutdown, the role of faith and community in solving America’s challenges, and the importance of returning to constitutional principles.

The episode dives deep into the debate over government aid versus private charity, the push to abolish the IRS, and the need for churches and local organizations to reclaim their role in supporting neighbors. The conversation also covers the dangers of government overreach, including ICE’s proposed social media surveillance, and highlights the ongoing fight for pro-life values—spotlighting Louisiana’s lawsuit against the FDA and Tucker Carlson’s support for the Pre-Born organization.

Listeners will hear heartfelt stories of local sheriffs making a difference, including the emotional response to a tragic explosion in Tennessee and a discussion on the importance of compassion and humanity in law enforcement. The show wraps up with a call to defend life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness, and a reminder to support organizations making a real impact.
