Ron Paul 2012 Podcast

In his weekly Texas Straight Talk telephone update, Rep. Ron Paul formally announces that H.R. 459 (Federal Reserve Transparency Act of 2011) has passed through the oversight committee intact, and should be voted upon before the end of the month! Wouldn't the passage of this bill be an appropriate climax for Dr. Paul's Congressional legacy? Video compliments of YouTube User: RonPaul2008dotcom.

This week was relatively light on campaign developments, as we get closer to the RNC in Tampa and Ron Paul continues to gather his forces for some kind of platform showdown. Paul delegates continue to get shafted at every opportunity by the GOP- as the party now resorts to forcing our people to sign loyalty oaths to Mittens Romney (and kicking them off the delegation if they refuse). These shenanigans may prove to deny Congressman Paul his five state pluralities, so his name won't even be submitted for nomination. If Dr. Paul and Gov. Romney have really been such great friends through this process, you would hope the Congressman would be allotted his rightful place at the convention!

On Thursday afternoon, Ron Paul chaired the 12th meeting of the House Financial Services subcommittee on Domestic Monetary Policy and Technology in the Rayburn House Office Building. This hearing, entitled: “Fractional Reserve Banking and the Federal Reserve: The Economic Consequences of High-Powered Money”, really gets at the heart of the bankocracy that rules present-day America. The subcommittee called three witnesses in to testify: Dr. John Cochran (Professor of Economics - Metropolitan State College of Denver), Dr. Joseph Salerno (Professor of Economics - Pace University), and Dr. Lawrence H. White (Professor of Economics - George Mason University). Would anyone be surprised that the Congress-critters (and the Democrats in particular) aren't too interested in learning about / debating fractional reserve banking

Moments after SCOTUS' shocking ruling on Obamacare was announced, Texas congressman and presidential candidate Dr. Ron Paul appeared on the Michael Berry Show to discuss the mandate and how Texas should respond.  ICYMI- the justices said that while Congress did overreach in part with the individual mandate -- the requirement that most Americans buy health insurance or pay a fine -- the provision is held constitutional as a tax!

Congressman Ron Paul joined Fox News' Neil Cavuto on the Wednesday edition of Your World, to talk about the Supreme Court's ruling on the constitutionality of Obamacare. Dr. Paul made the case that the only way to improve the cost and access to healthcare is to allow people to opt out of government medicine. If you have been following the podcast the last several months, you'll recall that the Congressman predicted  just such a ruling- that would leave significant parts of the program in tact. The man knows what he's talking about

Rep. Ron Paul returned to the house floor on Wednesday, to address his colleagues regarding the latest events in Syria and the military-industrial complex's push to intervene in the internal affairs of yet another sovereign nation. Video compliments of YouTube User: CongressmanRonPaul.

In this week's Texas Straight Talk update, Rep. Ron Paul talks about the Supreme Court's coming decision regarding the Constitutionality of Obamacare. The government is already waist deep into the healthcare business, and the results have been predictable: higher priced, lower quality care. Rather than slide into European socialism, how about we get the federal government out of healthcare? Video compliments of YouTube User: RonPaul2008dotcom.

The rEVOLution continues! Dr. Ron Paul made a prominent return to the national scene this week, addressing the nation from the house floor and making news during two separate interviews on CNN and MSNBC. Moreover, the campaign claimed another victory last weekend, as Iowa's delegation to the RNC goes in the 'Paul' column. I'd like to continue the podcast through the Republican National Convention, if subscribers remain interested. But I'll have to raise a modest amount of money to continue much longer.

Guest host Ali Velshi- in for CNN International's Christiane Amanpour- speaks with U.S. Congressman Ron Paul about whether to intervene in Syria. House arab and author Fouad Ajami then gets the last word in the indirect debate, arguing for a more neoconservative foreign policy.

2012 presidential candidate, Rep. Ron Paul of Texas joins MSNBC's Mike Brzezinski to discuss why he's still campaigning, why he's not ready to endorse Mitt Romney even though his son has, the GOP convention in Tampa and why he believes the GOP has become the outlier for the cause of liberty. Other Morning Joe guest panelists include Sam Stein, Mike Barnicle, and MSNBC's own Alex Wagner.

Congressman Ron Paul joined CNN's Wolf Blitzer on Tuesday's edition of The Situation Room to talk about his plans for the Republican National Convention (and endorsing Mitt Romney), the lawsuit filed by supporters against the RNC, and the situation in Syria. Full video available, compliments of YouTube User: SaveOurSovereignty3.

On Tuesday morning, Congressman Ron Paul addressed the House of Representatives with a floor speech regarding the propaganda being fed to the Congress regarding the Syrian government. It appears as if the decision has been made to go for regime change once again, as the US government uses militant Islamists by proxy to stir up trouble in Damascus. Why does the US government so hate secular Middle-Eastern regimes? Moreover, why won't the US government mind its own business? The Congressman's remarks are entitled "When Will We Attack Syria?", the written text of which can be found on Dr. Paul's congressional website.

In this week's Texas Straight Talk update, Congressman Ron Paul addresses the rapid rate at which the federal government and domestic law enforcement agencies are rolling out unmanned aerial vehicles to be used against the American people. Not only are the people of the world terrorized (yes, terrorized) by these militarized aerial platforms, but bureaucrats now have a surveillance tool that would have delighted the great authoritarians throughout history.

It seems that the recent firestorm has started to cool down a bit in the last several days, as Ron Paul has finally addressed his supporters and Rand Paul has more thoroughly explained himself. But the episode has shown us that the movement is not of one mind, and certainly has the ability to fracture quickly. At least three ideological groups are quickly visible: those who understand Rand Paul's decision to endorse Mittens (as an attempt to establish the liberty movement as a significant wing of the GOP), those who view the system as so inherently corrupt that any (even superficial) compromise is a sellout, and those who denounce Rand Paul as a statist / neocon outright (largely because he clearly advocates for some, limited government). Ron Paul's virtual silence for the past six weeks had been disturbing for several reasons- not the least of which was the fact that everyone assumed that he had coordinated with Rand's decision to endorse the Rom-inee. By all accounts, that appears to have been untrue- but Rand was clearly waiting for the word from his dad so that the endorsement could be made. Who knows what will go down in Tampa?
