Sons of Liberty Radio with Bradlee Dean The Efficacy of Salt: Vaccine Deaths, a Rigged Mayor, and the Cowardice of American Pulpits Broadcasting alone, Bradlee Dean builds an hour around what he calls the efficacy of salt, moving from anger over vaccine deaths and a broken Reagan-era promise to a claim that the CIA installed New York's mayor, and closing with a call for gutless preachers to find their courage, with call-ins from Monk in Colorado and Bev in Wisconsin. A Founders' Prayer Opens the Hour The broadcast opens with a recording of Elbridge Gerry's Thanksgiving prayer, the Declaration of Independence signer thanking Providence for the gospel of Jesus Christ while confessing what he calls America's "unparalleled ingratitude." After the show's theme and disclaimer, Bradlee Dean greets "friends as well as a few enemies, scoffers, atheists, skeptics, lunatics, weirdos and assorted bad guys" and tells listeners the hour will center on what he calls the efficacy of salt. He directs viewers to sonsoflibertymedia.com and beforeitsnews.com for video clips referenced during the show, reads out the call-in number, and citing Jude 3 and 4 invites callers pro or con. Dean reminds first-time listeners that Sons of Liberty exists so people think for themselves rather than make others "the measure of their conduct," warning it is a terrible place to be when a person's brains are in someone else's head. Vaccine Deaths and Political Scapegoats Dean pivots to a scroll of young people he says are dying suddenly, citing a report of a 13-year-old South Carolina boy who suffered cardiac arrest during football practice. He turns to German Chancellor Angela Merkel, calling her actions comparable to Adolf Hitler's family before clarifying he is being facetious, and accuses her of blaming Bill Gates for pressuring policymakers on vaccination while ignoring officials who, he says, sold themselves out "like Judas did for thirty pieces of silver." Citing a claim that thirty million vaccinated people are no longer alive, Dean plays a video clip on vaccine statistics and repeats a figure of 755 percent. He revisits Ronald Reagan's broken campaign promise to end abortion, recounting a Reagan-era judicial contact who told him Reagan said there was nothing to be done, then walks through the National Childhood Vaccine Injury Act of 1986, arguing it indemnified pharmaceutical manufacturers rather than the public. Callers Monk and Bev Weigh In After a break featuring a Tom Raymond testimonial and event promos, Dean takes a call from Monk, who reports the show is off the air on KHNC 1360 in Johnstown, Colorado; Dean promises to contact station engineer Jason and later confirms the signal is restored. Bev from Wisconsin calls next to note that not every young athlete's death traces to vaccination, some dying of dehydration during sports; Dean acknowledges the point but says it does not excuse pharmaceutical companies he holds responsible for other deaths. He then turns to a report headlined "Trump says we have to bring religion back," criticizing televangelist Paula White for standing at the center of what he calls an ecumenical, one-world church movement, before playing a video compilation touching on Donald Trump, Kabbalah, Marla Maples, and Jared Kushner that he says proves the push for a one-world religion is already underway. New York, Mamdani, and the Salt of the Earth Dean turns to a New York-based Christian broadcaster he heard that morning claiming the city's roughly nine million residents have been overtaken by its estimated 750,000 Muslims. Dean argues the same 750,000 figure represents New Yorkers who signed recall petitions against Mayor Mamdani, whom he says the CIA installed in office, calling the agency "the American version of the Gestapo" and citing former officer John Stockwell. He labels the broadcaster an effeminate, unconverted "succumber to the spirit of the world" for spreading fear rather than standing firm, invoking Isaiah 8:20 and Psalm 78:9's account of the children of Ephraim turning back in battle. Quoting Matthew 5:13, Jesus calling believers "the salt of the earth," Dean argues the church exists to halt a nation's moral decay, recounting the Black Robe Regiment of fifty-six signers who trusted God during the Revolution and comparing today's timid preachers to Israelites who refused Joshua and Caleb's report in Numbers 14. D. James Kennedy and the Cowardice of Pulpits Dean recalls conversations with the late D. James Kennedy of Coral Ridge Ministries in Fort Lauderdale, who told him three hundred thousand American pulpits hide behind 501(c)(3) status out of unwarranted fear, since no church has ever actually lost that status. He repeats Kennedy's answer to a visiting minister who asked why his church was being protested, that men wanting to marry men and women wanting to marry women were the reason, and adds that churches which invited Dean to speak stopped inviting him back once protests began. Moving into a passage on the prophets, Dean likens today's preachers to Jeremiah's description of "clouds without rain," men never driven to the cross by the law and therefore preaching a "dead letter" to dead congregations. He argues government reflects decay that starts inside the church, and that decadence, not poverty, has destroyed the greater number of nations throughout history. Deuteronomy 8 and a Call to Preserve Closing the hour, Dean reads Deuteronomy 8:10-14 warning Israel not to forget God after eating, building houses, and multiplying silver and gold, applying the passage directly to a prosperous modern America. He returns once more to Matthew 5:13, restating that salt losing its savor becomes fit only to be cast out and trampled, and works through the words preserve, meaning to defend from evil, and seasoning, meaning to grow fit for use, framing genuine conservatives as preservatives against a decaying culture. Citing Ephesians 5:11 on reproving the works of darkness and Matthew 5:16 on good works glorifying God, Dean says his own answer is action rather than commentary, listing the radio show, sonsoflibertymedia.com, billboards, paper ads, and an appearance planned in Princeton that Saturday. He signs off naming empty "professors" who talk without doing as his real opposition, telling listeners he will return in twenty-three hours and closing, "love you by what we do."
