Ron Paul 2012 Podcast

Well, I had to dig deep to find the customary three hours of audio for the weekly campaign update this week. The general lack of coverage makes me long for the beginning of the year, when news coverage of the campaign was optimistic and plentiful. The disappointing victory by the Romney forces in Nebraska was enough for the MSM to officially announce the end of the Paul campaign. But as you'll hear on this podcast, opinions certainly aren't unanimous! Regardless, hope remains for a Paul presence at the Republican convention in August, as commentators begin to realize that the GOP needs Paul supporters to vote for their man in November if they hope to oust Barack "Barry" Hussein  Soetoro-Soebarkah-Obama. I don't know about you, but I have been underwhelmed by Gary Johnson over the last several months. Perhaps if the GOP made a legitimate attempt to bring Ron and his delegates into the convention...Links to the original media sources are included in the file description, included audio can be heard in the order listed below: (0:00) A Liberty Inventory with Jack Hunter.

Rep.

Other topics of discussion included the LIBOR scandal, the Romney candidacy, and the economic difficulties the next President will surely face. Will Dr. Paul, himself, cast a vote for Mittens in November?: “I have not made a decision.

On Wednesday during the Defense Appropriations debate on the house floor, Congressman Ron Paul took to the podium and urged his colleagues to expedite US military withdrawal from Afghanistan. Video compliments of YouTube User: CongressmanRonPaul.

(Audio Fixed - 7/26) On Wednesday, Congressman Ron Paul - lead sponsor of H.R. 459, the Federal Reserve Transparency Act of 2012 - discussed why the Federal Reserve System is fundamentally flawed at the full House Financial Services hearing, entitled: "Monetary Policy and the State of the Economy." This could very well be the last time we see Ron Paul grill the Fed Chairman before the cameras, as he has done with much fanfare so many times before. The Congressman made his opening remarks and stuck around for two rounds of questions for Ben Bernanke. Video compliments of YouTube User: CongressmanRonPaul.

NewsRadio 740 KTRH's Houston’s Morning News with Matt Patrick talks with the Lake Jackson Congressman Ron Paul about his role at the GOP convention and the impact his supporters may have on the nomination. Dr. Paul discusses his plurality of states and how it exceeds the RNC requirements for not only a speaking engagement but the possibility of a nomination from the floor of the national convention..He also denounces his support for Romney.

Ron Paul joined Chris Waltzek, host of Goldseek.com Radio, to talk about the Federal Reserve, the market for precious metal, and more. Video compliments of YouTube User: GoldSeekRadiodotcom.

In this week's Texas Straight Talk message to his constituents, Rep. Ron Paul reminds us that the Federal Reserve causes untold harm to the most vulnerable in American society. For the bankers on Wall St., 2-3% annual inflation means constant upward pressure on stock values. But over a decade, that means the destruction of 20-30% of a person's savings! With a real audit of the Fed, we just might be able to expose those who most benefit from inflationary policies and stop the economic bleeding! Video compliments of YouTube User: RonPaul2008dotcom.

The campaign had a fleeting moment of excitement this week, as liberty activists in Nebraska fought for the unbound delegates at that state's Republicans convention. Apparently, the Romney forces there won convincingly, denying Dr. Paul a clear plurality in his fifth state. While Paul delegates have rightfully won the majority of delegate slots in several states during the course of these state conventions, only delegates from Maine, Minnesota, Iowa, and Louisiana are officially unbound. This would lead us to assume that Dr. Paul will not be able to force his way into the RNC in August, yet more pundits all the time are making the case that he most certainly should be welcome at the Rom-i-nee coronation. If Congressman Paul and Governor Romney had such a great relationship throughout the campaign, surely Mittens would invite the good doctor, no? The last thing the movement would want to see is a Rand Paul speech full of familiar Republican red-meat! As I had long suspected, we are starting to see that  commentators who had formerly been hostile to Dr. Paul will suddenly begin to praise him, now that he nears retirement from political office.

On Friday, Ron Paul appeared live on the telephone via Skype connection to address his supporters, who had gathered  prior to the weekend's GOP state convention. Dozens of activists from the Republican Liberty Caucus met at the Holiday Inn - Grand Isle to strategize in advance of the convention, which is being called "Dr. Paul's last stand" to earn a chance to be formally nominated at the RNC. The audience heard from the Congressman thanks to a Laptop with Skype, and a mic connected to a PA. I included a portion of the preceding speakers, just for listeners to get a feel for the meeting. Video coverage available by U-Stream user: suriyahfish.

Rep. Ron Paul joined Fox Business' Neil Cavuto on Friday afternoon, to discuss what role he has to play at the Republican National Convention in Tampa, and what he thinks about Condoleezza Rice being considered as Romney’s running mate. Cavuto correctly makes the case that: "If RNC doesn't let Ron Paul speak at the convention, they'd be idiots."

Back in mid-June, Dr. Ron Paul was interviewed for his part in the upcoming documentary film, entitled: The Bubble. Filmmaker Jimmy Morrison came to Dr. Paul's Washington DC office, to talk with him about the housing bubble and the ensuing economic crisis , Federal Reserve policy, and US government intervention in the aftermath. Unfortunately, the questions for the Congressman are not audible in the video and only appear on screen- which makes things difficult for an audio podcast. The interview is broken up into topical segments. For ease of listening, I recorded the questions that appear on screen during the video (surely preferable to the silent breaks in the audio). I can't promise these are all in perfect context, as the storyboards between questions only contain broad topics. But hey, I tried. Video compliments of YouTube User: TheBubbleFilm.

In this week's Texas Straight Talk weekly telephone update, Rep. Ron Paul talks about his subcommittee hearing from last week, where panelists discussed the topic of fractional reserve banking. Why should bankers have the privilege of lending (and charging interest for) money they never actually possessed? This injustice is only exacerbated by federally guaranteed deposit insurance, which protects the banksters from the natural, free market regulatory structure!

On Friday, Congressman Ron Paul released a video update to his supporters announcing his plans to be in Tampa before the Republican Convention. The major rally will be held in the University of South Florida's Sun Dome in Tampa Bay, FL on August 26, 2012. You know I'll be posting the audio, here! RSVP and check out the video at RonPaul2012.com.

Well, coverage continues to get harder to come by, as the state conventions slowly wrap up across the country, and the RNC in Tampa creeps closer. I've included some previously unposted, older files (from the last couple of months) to fill out the three hour audio block. People are still holding out hope for a miracle in Tampa (and I hope they're onto something), but I see no indication from the candidate that any challenge will be mounted. Dr. Paul has been back on TV and radio as of late, but conspicuously missing from any conversation is talk of the Presidential campaign! WTF?
