Venezuela, Ice Shooting & Trump's Empire Overreach | 01/12/26

January 12, 2026

Join Sam Bushman and Dr. Scott Bradley on Liberty Round Table as they deliver hard-hitting constitutional analysis the mainstream networks won't touch. In this episode, they tackle the Trump administration's controversial Venezuela intervention, the constitutional crisis of executive overreach, and the disturbing Minnesota ICE shooting that's dividing conservatives.


The hosts examine how America has abandoned its constitutional republic for empire-building, with Trump acting increasingly like Caesar—seizing foreign oil, capturing leaders, and running other nations without congressional authority. They break down the Russian oil tanker seizure, Netanyahu's push for military action against Iran, and why the U.S. remains unconditionally dedicated to Israel despite war crimes.


Domestically, they analyze the Minnesota shooting with frame-by-frame evidence showing the official narrative doesn't match reality, the Salt Lake City LDS church shooting exposing soft-target vulnerabilities, and the shocking shift of conservatives now embracing Obamacare subsidies they once opposed.


With on-the-street protest footage and constitutional expertise, this episode challenges both left and right to return to the supreme law of the land—even when it's politically inconvenient.


Call to Action:


Defend the Constitution. Demand accountability. Share the truth.


If you believe America should follow the rule of law—not the rule of emperors—this message needs to spread. Subscribe to Liberty Round Table, share this episode with fellow patriots, and join Dr. Bradley's weekly Constitution Q&A sessions at FreedomsRisingSun.com. The republic won't save itself—it requires informed, engaged citizens willing to stand for principle over party. God save the Republic.
