Join Sam Bushman and Lowell Nelson from Campaign for Liberty on this hard-hitting episode of Liberty RoundTable as they dissect the constitutional crisis surrounding the U.S. military intervention in Venezuela. Broadcasting live from the Rocky Mountains on January 12, 2026, this episode delivers truth-telling analysis that mainstream media refuses to cover.
In this comprehensive discussion, Sam and Lowell examine Ron Paul's latest article "Regime Change Nation Building: They Are Back," Judge Andrew Napolitano's scathing critique titled "Lawless Presidency," and David Stockman's detailed economic analysis of Trump's Venezuela operation. The hosts expose how the capture of President Maduro occurred without congressional authorization, violating the Constitution's separation of powers.
Key topics covered include:
- The troubling parallels between Venezuela and the failed Iraq War
- Why the stated justifications (drugs and oil) make no economic sense
- How Congress was notified AFTER the operation, not before
- The Monroe Doctrine's true meaning versus modern misinterpretations
- Senator Lindsey Graham's push for regime change in Cuba and Iran next
- The dangerous precedent of presidential overreach without congressional approval
- Why this matters for God, family, and country
This isn't about defending Maduro or Venezuela—it's about defending the Constitution and the rule of law that protects American liberty.
