The Ron Paul Liberty Report

Today the US Supreme Court takes up the case of Colorado banning former President Trump from the ballot. Is this a legal case? Political case? Both? What to expect? Also today, surprise: no charges expected in Biden's classified documents case. Finally: "We have troops in Syria? Really?

A new poll released yesterday by the Chicago Council on Global Affairs shows that a solid majority of Americans oppose using US troops to defend Israel - the lowest level of support for defending Israel since the poll began in 2010. Meanwhile both political parties insist the US will defend Israel if Iran retaliates. Also today, US sends troops BACK into parts of Iraq!

As the Israeli military moves into Rafah, the former "safe haven" for displaced Palestinians from elsewhere in Gaza, against the expressed wishes of the Biden Administration, a new poll shows how much Biden's Israel policy is hurting him with voters. Does he have any moves? Also today: WHO "pandemic treaty" rears its ugly head. Can these authoritarians be stopped?

History is filled with examples of failed attempts to 'conquer the world.' Americans seceded from the greatest military power that the world had ever seen, in the British Empire. America would be different. It would be the 'land of the free.' And for a while, it was different. Never have so many individuals had so much freedom, and never was so much prosperity created by a single nation. But alas, the ideas of 'conquering the world,' took over and the downward slide began. As the dustbin of failed empires waits for its newest member, the American people must re-learn and re-implement the ideas of Liberty.

We seem to be moving (slowly, but steadily) to a multi-polar world. The U.S. empire is continually losing wars and credibility. Meanwhile, other major powers are stockpiling gold and forming economic relationships with other nations around the world. A hundred years of American wars have been fueled by debt, which are fueled by fiat money. Counterfeit money did this to us; and it can only be fixed with sound money.

Speculation is building that independent presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. intends to drop out of the race on Friday and endorse Donald Trump for president. Speculation is likewise building that Trump may agree to award Kennedy a cabinet position should there be a second Trump Administration. RFK has extensively catalogued the dirty tricks the Democratic Party has deployed to undermine his campaign...so will a Trump endorsement give him the last laugh? Also today, the New York Times is reporting that the Biden/Harris Administration is siccing the "Justice" Department on dissident American journalists who write for Russian outlets. So much for the First Amendment! Get your tickets to the RPI summer conference: https://www.eventbrite.com/e/liberty-platform-tickets-913244618237

Americans are certainly feeling the pain of rapacious government spending, enabled by Federal Reserve counterfeiting. It's one thing when purchasing luxury items is out of reach. It's understandable. That's why they're called "luxury" items. But when buying food is out of reach? Now you can no longer ignore the source of the problem. Counterfeiting always leads to economic ruin, without exception. The Federal Reserve is certainly not the exception. Senator Rand Paul is right. It's time to audit the Fed.

Remember the salacious details of Trump grabbing the steering wheel and demanding his Secret Service driver take him to the Capitol on January 6th, 2001? The story relayed by a former Trump White House staffer? All fake. Now we know how they tried to keep it from us. Also today: Israel to buy more F-35s...with our money. Finally: Here's a real military "recruitment" speech! GET YOUR TICKETS NOW to the RPI 2024 DC Conference: https://www.eventbrite.com/e/liberty-platform-tickets-913244618237

Yesterday's attack on US troops in Syria/Jordan gave Sen. Lindsey Graham the opportunity to repeat his favorite chorus "Attack Iran!" While Republican hawks profess admiration for President Ronald Reagan, they suspiciously ignore one of his most important foreign policy decisions: to pull US troops from Lebanon where they were sitting ducks for attack. Also today: Texit for Texas?

No press conference? No photo-op? Not even White House Stationery? We are expected to believe President Biden announced his sudden withdrawal as the Democratic Party candidate for president...on Twitter/X? Do you believe it? Who's really running things here?

On another desperation begging trip to the US, Ukraine president Zelensky tears into Senate Republicans hesitant to send over another $60 billion to what is widely accepted to be a lost cause. Such Republicans are "inspiring Putin" barked Zelensky. Also today who's greenlighting Gaza mayhem? And finally: 'Woke' Canada cancels Christmas.

Freedom of Speech was included as the First Amendment for a reason. It's that important! Without the ability to speak freely and protest against the government, liberty is lost. Unfortunately, as with so many things when government power expands too far, freedom of speech becomes politicized. "Free speech for me, but not for thee." Both Left & Right will embrace censorship and cracking down on peaceful protests, if they believe it will help them "win." But once freedom of speech is sacrificed, the only "winner" is government power. Both the Left & the Right lose their liberties.

Escalation in Ukraine continues, as a desperate Europe holding a losing hand turns toward drafting its youth to fight WWIII with Russia. Will sanity prevail? Also today, "Trump-proofing" military aid to Ukraine is hitting some European roadblocks.

Are Americans getting war-weary? A new AP-NORC poll has revealed that the percentage of Americans who consider foreign policy a top issue has doubled this year. The Biden Administration thus far has been one of steady increase in military involvement overseas and as this and other recent polls show, Americans are fed up. Also today: New House Bill calls for the US to drop charges against Assange. Can we get it some traction?

House Speaker Mike Johnson said this week he considers himself a "war time" Speaker - even though we are not at war. But he seems to be at war with the American people, bringing up a bill to send a hundred billion dollars overseas while America struggles. Also today: will the Senate stop the super-spy bill?

Fire up your grill! The UN is set to call on Americans to eat less meat. In the real world, every individual is unique and free to choose whether or not to eat meat. That's obvious to a vast majority of people. But in typical cookie-cutter fashion, the UN presumes to know what everyone's dietary habits should be. Even though the UN has no authority to implement their bad ideas, it does give everyone a glimpse of the authoritarian globalist mindset.

And...there goes hope of a more sane foreign policy, as Trump's VP pick JD Vance comes out swinging with the "brilliant" idea of REALLY attacking Iran, not just those "little bombing runs." What Vance doesn't understand is that this is not the world as it was ten years ago. A war on Iran could well bring in China and Russia, and at the least would mark a massive Middle East escalation where a good deal of the fallout would affect the Israel that he claims to so strongly support.

In the latest illegal immigration boondoggle, the mayor of New York City adopted a program to give each illegal immigrant family a debit card worth $10,000. Refillable. And he awarded a "minority-owned" company a no-bid contract worth $53 million to carry out the policy...Also today: Neocons bust Ukraine "myths."

After innumerable US-backed coup attempts in Venezuela - including the almost comical Juan Guaido fiasco - one might think Americans would become skeptical when the old "stolen election" and "regime change" narrative is rolled out again. But as in Hollywood, when you have a successful story you keep rolling out sequels. Does it matter who runs Venezuela? Only if you are in oil or minerals...or the regime change business. Also today: Pentagon accountants find another two billion dollars for Ukraine...and US debt reaches $35 trillion.

Yesterday's House vote to either force the sale of Tik Tok or ban it entirely from the US is the most dangerous and anti-American act since the passage of the PATRIOT Act. The law will give the US president SOLE AUTHORITY to determine which businesses can and cannot operate in the United States. It is a full government takeover of our basic liberties.

Despite Israel's political leadership claiming that only the complete destruction of Hamas in Gaza is acceptable, its military leadership is increasingly vocal about the difficulty - or impossibility - of that task. As the US continues to get drawn deeper into the expanding regional war, what are the goals and what is the endgame. Former CIA counterterrorism officer Philip Giraldi joins today's program.

The Colorado Supreme Court - all them appointees of Democratic governors - has ruled that Donald Trump cannot appear on the state's presidential ballot, claiming his participation in the January 6th, 2021 "insurrection" disqualified him under the 14th Amendment. Will the latest partisan attack on Trump just make him stronger? Also today: big trouble in little Yemen. And finally: Republican Congressman urges US fight against "communist" Russia...

Who benefits from the death of Russian politician Alexei Navalny? Could he have been "pushed" by western intelligence services? Also today: Stung by losses in Ukraine, the EU declares war on...the Houthis! Finally - Pelosi in a time warp.

A new bill in the California state assembly would qualify individuals illegally in the country for zero-down, zero interest home loans. Does it seem like a good idea? Also today: How did Biden do in the State of the Union address?

America was never meant to be an empire. It was meant to remain the "land of the free." Empires are the antithesis of freedom, and they always end up going broke. Alas, after 100 years of foreign misadventures, we Americans find ourselves saddled with the biggest government in history and an empire that's going broke! Just the interest on the national debt is now higher than the extremely bloated "defense" budget. We all know what happens when interest payments overwhelm, right? Liquidation.
