Ron Paul Liberty Report

Frequent Liberty Report guest Vanessa Beeley joins us today for a live update on the ground in Syria. What was the US attack like? The aftermath? What to expect next.

What if, back in 2008, when Lehman Brothers, Bear Stearns, Merrill Lynch and many others were toppling like dominoes, someone said to you: “If you think this is bad, wait another decade, and an even bigger financial crisis will loom.” It would have been hard to believe, but it would have been correct. The same policies that created the 2008 crash were adopted and an even bigger bubble is now here. Ron Paul discusses.

While we did not wake up this morning to news that the US had started attacking Syria -- or started WWIII -- there is unfortunately no guarantee that by the end of today's program the bombs will not be flying. That is the problem with an out-of-control Executive Branch and when Washington runs with war as its lifeblood. But who are the opinion makers that are helping to pull us back from the precipice? We'll look at a few today...

Today was a fast-breaking news day as the US appears to be moving closer to a massive military assault on Syria over unproven claims that Assad released chlorine gas on Syrian citizens. President Trump Tweeted a military threat to Russia this morning, followed minutes later by a more reconciliatory Tweet. Meanwhile, military movement on the ground, air, and sea suggests a major confrontation is imminent. Will Americans opposed to such a potentially catastrophic clash be able to stop the war machine? Tune in to this special edition of the Liberty Report.

Military attacks are historically a tool employed by leaders to distract from troubles at home. With Mueller's raid on Trump's lawyer, Michael Cohen, will Trump make good on threats to attack Syria to divert attention? And...what will Russia (and China) do?

The racist origins of anti-gun laws.

Rebel-allied organizations in Syria have claimed that the government has released chlorine gas near Ghouta, killing dozens. The Syrians and Russians deny the charges. Neocons are all demanding that Trump launch a bigger attack or America will "lose face." Will the Russians sit back and allow another US attack on the Syrian government? And if they don't?

We’re told that the U.S. has trade deficits with many nations. Many people believe that this is a bad thing that cannot continue. But are they right? Ron Paul discusses on today’s Liberty Report.

That didn't take long. No sooner did President Trump vow to remove US troops from Syria, when after a meeting with Defense Secretary Mattis and other advisors resulted in another flip-flop. Like with the recent omnibus budget, he complained but went along with it. Will he pull out in six months as he more recently promised? Don't hold your breath!

Successful businessman Gary Heavin has first-hand experience with the world of government versus private philanthropy. His experiences in Haiti are shocking. But his vision for a future peaceful, non-interventionist foreign policy is inspirational. What's wrong with our foreign policy? Are non-interventionists unpatriotic? Are the neocons taking over? Who's behind ISIS? Tune in for a very unique episode!

President Trump's call for US troops to leave Syria and his call to Putin suggesting a summit have left the neocons gasping. Will Trump dare to defy his "experts" and follow through with his promises? If he is opposed to neocons, why does he keep hiring them?

Will the dying warfare-welfare state be replaced by liberty...or tyranny?

We're number one! (In arms sales). What does it mean that the US economy has become so dependent on sales of weapons overseas, primarily to the Middle East? How does this corporatist economic arrangement drive policy? What are the security implications for the US? Economic implications?

Today we are joined by Dr. Mary J. Ruwart, a biomedical researcher, ethicist and author of a new book called Death by Regulation -- How We Were Robbed of a Golden Age of Health and How We Can Reclaim It.

Future of Freedom Foundation's Jacob Hornberger and Richard Ebeling join today's Liberty Report to discuss what we can do to return US foreign policy to one of non-intervention in the affairs of others. Next month the Ron Paul Institute and Future of Freedom Foundation will team up in Charleston, SC to hold a conference on this very topic. Join us! Get your tickets while they last - only $5.00!
