Ron Paul Liberty Report

From taking away private guns, to more government guns, to making public schools even more like prisons, the recent Florida school shooting has everyone offering solutions - and demanding government action. Will taking away more liberty make us safer?

What's going on in East Ghouta? One of the last jihadist-held parts of Syria are being liberated, but you wouldn't know it from US and UN reporting. Why is the UN taking sides, issuing provocative statements blaming the Syrian government while ignoring the other side?

Turkey, US, Kurds, and Israel are all carving out parts of Syria to control at the expense of the Syrian authorities. Have we gone back to Obama's 2013, where partition of Syria was to be achieved by force? And what will Iran and Russia do?

Why does the mainstream media ignore the possible role of psychotropic drugs in mass shootings?

Suddenly "Russian meddling" is back in the headlines and no one is talking about FBI collusion to present false information to FISA for permission to spy on the Trump campaign. No one is talking about a foreign agent (Christopher Steele) who actually did produce a document that influenced the election. It's back to the Russians. Why?

If the creation of new money affected everyone evenly, there would be no point in government granting monopoly privileges to a central bank. It's precisely because some benefit at the expense of others, that monetary inflation is so intoxicating. The Federal Reserve is the beating heart of big government, military empire, and the welfare state. Ron Paul talks about the tough economic times that lie ahead.

Ron Paul shares his thoughts on the school shooting in Parkland, Florida.

President Trump is reportedly in favor of a big 25 cent per gallon federal gasoline tax increase to help pay for his infrastructure plan. Does it make any sense? Who will pay the most?

This week President Trump delivered his 2019 military spending budget request. He vowed to rebuild the "depleted" military with a massive increase in spending. Will we be more economically secure with a trillion dollars dumped into military spending? How about our national security, with many more foreign military adventures newly funded?

US neocons are up in arms that the North Koreans showed up to the Olympics in South Korea with smiles on their faces. Vice President Mike Pence spent his time frowning, concerned that Americans may relax their two minutes of hate directed at North Korea. What's so bad about the Koreas working out their own problems?

Forcing Americans to submit their biometric information to a government database for the "privilege" of working in the US is no solution to the illegal immigration problem.

Just when it seemed the war in Syria might be winding down, it heats back up. First a Russian plane is shot down, then an Israeli plane is shot down after completing a bombing run on Syrian territory. Meanwhile the US continues occupying parts of northeast Syria with no legal basis in US or international law...

It’s hard to tell which is worse, Republicans and Democrats doing the opposite of what they “campaign on,” or voters always falling for it. Democrats are usually anti-war when out of power, then drop bombs like Republicans when in power. Republicans are anti-spending and debt when out of power, and then they spend like Democrats when in power. Ron Paul discusses this all-too-familiar script.

For some reason the Sen. Grassley Memo released earlier this week is being largely ignored by the media. In fact the memo not only confirms what we learned in the Nunes FISA Memo, but it adds several fascinating layers to the story of who was meddling in the 2016 US Presidential election. Former CIA officer Phil Giraldi joins today's show to discuss the operatives behind the scenes...

There is a new push for US and allied intervention in Syria. There is a vast propaganda network of NGOs pushing cooked up documentaries and providing "expert" witnesses all aimed to mobilize opinion in favor of a renewed war on the Syrian government. The White Helmets are a key part of this propaganda campaign. Syria expert Vanessa Beeley joins the Liberty Report to debunk their lies...
