Ron Paul 2012 Podcast

Presidential Candidate Ron Paul weighs in on the economic situation in Greece. He shares his prescription with CNBC's Melissa Lee and the Money In Motion traders, in an exclusive web extra.

Ron Paul still remains silent about the campaign and why things were done the way they were, but Rand Paul has come out swinging in defense of his decision to endorse Mitt Romney. The Senator has a bad habit of pointing out abhorrent behavior (or language on certain message boards) and smearing all of his critics with the actions of others. Dr. Paul's prickly response was perhaps not what the movement was interested in hearing, but in reality, the endorsement is one of the most ceremonial of gestures. Sen. Paul continues to stick his neck out for the cause of liberty on a constant basis, and the included interviews in this file remind us of some of the important work he is doing.

Don't listen to this audio if you are averse to hearing criticism of Ron Paul, his son, and his campaign staff. This file contains a block of Ron Paul related talk radio- particularly concerning the campaign developments of the last week. All the supporters are trying to figure out what happened with all those hard earned delegates and the anticipated fight in Tampa? What happened to the $500k that the campaign raised on the May 17th moneybomb? Where the hell is Ron Paul, and how come he won't formally address his supporters (outside of the occasional email)? What in Mittens Romney's political career suggests that the man's word is trustworthy? Is Rand Paul just another Republican politician? Are we all just overreacting to a campaign that fought long and hard, but came up short? I want some answers- but all we really have now is speculation.

In this week's Texas Straight Talk update, Ron Paul comments on the Congressional Budget Office's pessimistic outlook for the nation's economy.  Pessimistic as it may seem to the media types, those who actually know a thing about economics will tell you that the CBO works off of fudged government numbers in the first place! The truth about the "fragile economic recovery" is almost certainly much worse than the CBO figures purport to explain. Video compliments of YouTube User: RonPaulcom

We all knew that it would take an extraordinary set of circumstances for Ron Paul to become the next President of the Unites States, but it's a shame that the campaign has to end like this. I'm concerned that the way the campaign has operated in the last several months, and the subsequent endorsement of Mitt Romney by Rand Paul, could potentially undermine Dr. Paul's legacy (and our movement's cohesion)  in the future. All kinds of theories have been put forth over the last few days to try and explain how we got to this point. This audio file contains additional coverage of the Rand Paul endorsement and the current state of the movement, along with commentary from many different voices affiliated with the r3VOLution. Some are being way too harsh in their critique of the situation- using words like "sellout" or "betrayal." The situation is only exacerbated by Dr. Paul's virtual silence over the coarse of the last month, and the campaign's poor communication with their supporters. We a

Well, no one can claim that this week wasn't eventful for the Ron Paul 2012 campaign and the liberty movement, writ large! Ron Paul returned to the public eye, but only briefly before he formally conceded (in an email archived at The Daily Paul) the nomination to Governor Romney. Then, in a stomach-turning development, on Thursday evening Senator Rand Paul came out on FNC's Hannity (of all possible venues) to throw his political capital behind Mittens! For all practical purposes- it's over. Due to the campaign's bizarre radio silence over the last month, many were led to believe that there was a master plan in place, taking place behind the scenes (Doug Wead made reference to tactics that couldn't be discussed). I love Ron Paul, but I refuse to delude myself: Dr. Paul will not win the Republican nomination, and he won't run 3rd party. These developments have stirred a lot of activists and supporters, who have donated large amounts of money and time. And for what? To play nice with Rom

Following his speech at the Texas state convention on Thursday, Congressman Ron Paul made an appearance at the Texas Liberty Concert being held at The River Ranch in the Fort Worth Stockyards. Rep. Paul spoke to his loyal devotees about the coming fiscal crisis, the encroachment of big government, and the growth of the liberty movement over the last 5 years. It should be noted that Dr. Paul announces that he has been promised a vote on the Audit the Fed bill in July (audio begins at 5:13)! Perhaps that's been part of the deal to get the Congressman out of campaign mode since mid-May. Nevertheless, we can see that Dr. Paul's work in Washington over the last few weeks seems to have bore fruit! Video compliments of YouTube User: Prima Facia.

Ron Paul returned to the public eye on Thursday, delivering a speech to delegates at a breakout session during the Texas state GOP convention. The Congressman spoke to approximately 1,000 Republicans about balancing the federal budget, and returning the Republican Party to it's ideological roots. The state convention is being held at the Fort Worth Convention Center in Ft. Worth, TX. Video of the speech archived by UStream User: suriyahfish.

Ron Paul returns to the airwaves- for two whole minutes! On Tuesday, Rep. Ron Paul joined FBN's Neil Cavuto to comment on the Wisconsin recall election and the need to rein in spending at the state and federal level.

In this week's Texas Straight Talk legislative update, Dr. Ron Paul warns the American people of the saber-rattling going on in Washington over the purported massacres being committed by the Syrian government. Are those being "massacred" in that country recipients of arms and funds supplied by elements of the United States government? The lines between grassroots pro-democracy forces and foreign mercenaries have been so blurred, the American citizen (let alone their elected representation) has no way to determine the truth of the situation on the ground in a far-away foreign land. Given the broad geopolitical reconstruction that has been carried out all over the world over the last 20 years (always in the name of humanitarianism), we would be fools to take the administration and the Pentagon on their word.

Another lean coverage week for the Ron Paul 2012 campaign, as the Congressman remains completely absent from the radio and television airwaves. Previously, there had been rumors that Dr. Paul would be attending the Washington state Republican convention to support activists there-- but apparently those plans were nixed. The vast majority of outlets still covering the campaign are alternative media sources and grassroots citizen journalists. Ben Swann continues to do a stellar job of separating fact from fiction, pointing out this week that Mittens Romney has not technically clinched the nomination (despite the MSM's coronation, and the candidates acceptance speech). This will be an important weekend in the hunt for delegates, as several states are in the midst of their state nominating conventions- particularly LA, MO, and WA. Hang in there rEVOLutionaries!

In this week's Texas Straight Talk update, Dr. Ron Paul warns the American people of the legislature's attempt to  implement strict (and draconian) capital controls. This is just another sign on the road to authoritarian government, which Rep. Paul presciently attempted to warn the citizenry about in last fall's Republican debate at the Reagan Library. How many times does the man have to be proven correct for people to realize that he knows WTF he is talking about? The Ex-PATRIOT Act (S.3205), if not stopped, will become America's Berlin Wall for tax refugees. How far behind do you think physical walls will be? Video compliments of YouTube User: RonPaulcom

Now would be the proper time to ask the question "Where's Ron Paul?" The man hasn't done a single broadcast interview in nearly three weeks! If the campaign hasn't thrown in the towel, this isn't a great way to reassure the supporters. The people continue to donate to the cause, yet the campaign has really failed to build any momentum. We've had weeks to do something to try any knock Mittens off his pedestal. Unfortunately, (barring any secret campaign strategy) it looks as if our people will be asked to play nice at the Romney coronation, in the hopes of laying the groundwork within the GOP for a future liberty candidate. Whether any promises or goodwill in the present will mean anything at all to the party in the future is anyone's guess. Will the campaign have an anti-climactic end, after all these years?

In this week's Texas Straight Talk update, Congressman Ron Paul warns his constituents about the ongoing destruction of their liberties, thanks to the NDAA. Back in Washington, Dr. Paul has had more time to keep track of what the legislative branch is currently up to, and things aren't looking good! Despite the many minds changed over the course of the campaign, our elected representatives remain all too willing to sacrifice liberty and Constitutional government in favor of the national security state.

After the grassroots' impressive takeover of the Minnesota Republican Party at the State Convention on Friday, Congressman Ron Paul generously offered up some of his time to raise funds for a beleaguered state GOP (over $1 million in debt).  Dr. Paul's keynote speech was at a breakfast fundraiser for the Minnesota Republican Party, which was held on Saturday morning, prior to the convention reconvening for the second day of proceedings. The introduction to the speech was given by Minnesota Representative, and U.S. Senate candidate Kurt Bills. The breakfast was held in the Terry Haws C Hall at the Convention Center in St. Cloud, MN. The event was sponsored and paid for by the Bills for US Senate campaign. The cost was $20 per person and all the proceeds went to the Republican Party of Minnesota.
