Moral Imperative, Universal Draft Threat, and USMCA Review | 05-08-26

About this episode

Sam Bushman and Dr. Scott Bradley discuss the moral challenges facing America, the implications of a universal draft, and the USMCA review.

Sam Bushman and Dr. Scott Bradley open with a powerful Mother's Day tribute, drawing on Montesquieu's Spirit of Laws to make the case that virtuous women and strong mothers are the backbone of a free nation. They discuss the moral plummet facing America, the threat of a mandatory universal draft with no deferments even for mothers of young children, the Ruby Ridge tragedy and the ongoing war on the family, and the looming USMCA review deadline. Dr. Bradley breaks down why USMCA is NAFTA on steroids, why Canada is pushing back on Trump's trade aggression, and why bilateral agreements are the constitutional and logical solution.
