Is This the Worst Congress Ever? AI Agrees | 05-21-26

Sam Bushman puts Congress on trial and asks both ChatGPT and Claude to weigh in. The verdict? Largely guilty. Sam and John Birch Society field coordinator Eldon Stahl dig into why Congress has become dysfunctional, fiscally reckless, and increasingly irrelevant, how it got that way, and what we, the people, can actually do about it. They also cover the Thomas Massie ouster, the $32 million primary, voter education as the real solution, Ebola fears, rising healthcare costs, and the JBS conference coming to Salt Lake City June 5th and 6th.
