WEBVTT 00:00.530 --> 00:03.670 The spirit of this revolution is not going away. 00:03.810 --> 00:09.870 This is the Ron Paul Liberty Report with Ron Paul, Daniel McAdams, and Chris Rossini. 00:10.550 --> 00:16.190 We are all ambassadors of the Ron Paul Doctrine, and it's a simple, just tell the truth. 00:35.320 --> 00:38.920 Hello everybody and thank you for tuning in to the Liberty Report. 00:39.460 --> 00:42.500 With us today we have Daniel McAdams, our co-host. 00:42.500 --> 00:44.580 Daniel, good to see you this morning. 00:44.700 --> 00:46.180 Good morning Dr. Paul. How are you this morning? 00:46.300 --> 00:46.920 Doing fine. 00:47.140 --> 00:47.280 Good. 00:48.320 --> 00:49.660 Ready and raring to go. 00:49.820 --> 00:50.460 Let's do it. 00:50.660 --> 00:55.260 But my mind is boggled, and you're good at arithmetic. 00:55.880 --> 00:56.700 Oh yeah, right. 00:57.640 --> 01:01.360 No, they have a new, it's the new math, isn't it? 01:01.740 --> 01:03.620 They have a different math than Washington. 01:04.540 --> 01:09.860 But we're going to talk about an article that Jack, our friend Jack Hunter wrote about 01:10.560 --> 01:17.520 what are the options and are they on the road to, you know, a balanced budget? 01:18.220 --> 01:21.520 Well, if you know Jack, that's not what he's going to be talking about. 01:22.180 --> 01:22.580 He's honest. 01:22.920 --> 01:31.180 So here he starts off his article, the Pentagon is asking Congress for another $200 billion for the war around, 01:31.680 --> 01:35.400 which is almost a quarter of the annual U.S. defense. 01:35.400 --> 01:41.380 Well, if that shouldn't stop every member of Congress to know what they're going to do on the vote, 01:41.460 --> 01:42.680 they wouldn't play this game. 01:43.200 --> 01:45.960 Oh, in case they need this or blah, blah, blah. 01:46.240 --> 01:48.900 They go back and forth and they want to cover their bases. 01:49.100 --> 01:50.420 They want to satisfy the president. 01:50.960 --> 01:54.720 They want to satisfy their constituents, especially the ones who are noisy 01:54.720 --> 01:57.800 and they have a lot of money and they donate to campaign. 01:58.580 --> 02:00.540 But he goes through this pretty well. 02:00.640 --> 02:02.340 It's not very encouraging. 02:02.340 --> 02:04.780 But I wanted you to clarify something. 02:04.880 --> 02:07.620 And I asked you and you said, you got a little confused too. 02:08.000 --> 02:11.000 I said, first it was going to be less than a trillion in military. 02:11.400 --> 02:13.060 And then they got it up to a trillion. 02:13.280 --> 02:15.900 They said, oh, we're being, this is a couple of months ago. 02:16.220 --> 02:18.220 Oh, wait, we need 150 trillion. 02:19.340 --> 02:24.780 And now they're asking for $200 billion more. 02:25.500 --> 02:27.140 You know, what are they doing? 02:27.520 --> 02:28.880 Where are they spending this money? 02:29.300 --> 02:30.380 They're making us peace. 02:30.380 --> 02:35.440 Giving us peace and prosperity and making the American people happy 02:35.440 --> 02:38.660 and by bringing our troops home and saving a dollar or two. 02:39.220 --> 02:42.640 No, it looks like these billions have turned into trillions of dollars. 02:43.200 --> 02:46.920 And the truth is they probably don't know the difference 02:46.920 --> 02:48.280 and they probably don't care. 02:48.580 --> 02:53.540 As long as they can coerce the people in Congress 02:53.540 --> 02:56.540 because we've talked a little bit about this 02:56.540 --> 03:00.920 and we've realized that they'll never declare war again. 03:01.180 --> 03:03.860 I was told that about the first week I was in Congress 03:03.860 --> 03:08.620 that I was in a conversation on a radio program with a Democrat. 03:09.080 --> 03:10.500 He says, Ron, he says, that's good. 03:10.640 --> 03:11.860 He says, I sort of agree with you. 03:12.160 --> 03:14.560 But there will never be another war declared. 03:15.120 --> 03:16.900 And that was back in 1976. 03:17.600 --> 03:21.080 And I was hoping he was wrong. 03:21.520 --> 03:23.700 But it turned out, no, we don't declare war, 03:23.700 --> 03:26.700 but we declare war by an inference. 03:27.020 --> 03:29.760 We just tell him, do what you want and we'll ignore it 03:29.760 --> 03:34.460 and we'll help you as long as there's somebody behind us 03:34.460 --> 03:38.600 that can take care of our financial needs and get us re-elected 03:38.600 --> 03:42.960 because we want to stay in Congress to help out. 03:43.260 --> 03:45.640 And I can't do much if I'm not in Congress. 03:45.860 --> 03:48.480 So I have to be a little bit flexible. 03:48.940 --> 03:50.880 And so that's where we are. 03:51.520 --> 03:52.980 We're very flexible now. 03:52.980 --> 03:57.300 We don't even know what we're doing with what. 03:57.780 --> 03:59.080 So this is a mess. 03:59.440 --> 04:02.920 And although we hear a pronouncement on television 04:02.920 --> 04:06.200 and on the internet, well, you know, 04:06.220 --> 04:07.620 the administration is doing well. 04:07.780 --> 04:10.760 They're in conversation and they've offered a treaty 04:10.760 --> 04:13.860 in agreement with Iran. 04:14.260 --> 04:17.180 But it looks like the leadership in Iran 04:17.180 --> 04:19.200 has begun to awaken up. 04:19.300 --> 04:21.140 I don't think they even admitted 04:21.140 --> 04:22.780 they're not going to fool us again. 04:23.000 --> 04:23.980 Yeah, after twice. 04:25.100 --> 04:27.860 Well, as you say, Jack Hunter, 04:28.040 --> 04:29.660 our friend wrote this for Responsible Statecraft. 04:30.260 --> 04:31.220 You can put that up. 04:31.840 --> 04:33.680 And certainly it's an admirable article. 04:34.400 --> 04:36.300 I would file it under wishful thinking, though, 04:36.420 --> 04:38.860 and it's no insult to Jack, 04:39.040 --> 04:41.680 but Republicans stepping up criticism, skepticism, 04:41.860 --> 04:44.260 I should say, over $200 billion war request. 04:44.780 --> 04:46.920 Skepticism is a word that has to be redefined 04:46.920 --> 04:49.880 when you're talking about certainly beltway spending 04:49.880 --> 04:53.040 because skepticism means I need political cover, 04:53.120 --> 04:54.200 but I'm going to give you the money. 04:54.600 --> 04:55.220 Hang on a minute. 04:55.600 --> 04:56.820 Go to the next one now. 04:56.940 --> 04:57.760 Here's what Jack writes. 04:57.880 --> 04:58.600 What about Republicans? 04:59.080 --> 05:01.600 He said Democrats are largely and predictably against this 05:01.600 --> 05:05.580 additional $200 billion for the Iran war. 05:06.040 --> 05:07.920 Democrats are largely against it. 05:08.200 --> 05:10.640 Of course, for political reasons. 05:11.240 --> 05:13.320 Oh, never, never, never. 05:13.740 --> 05:15.480 But Jack, keep it up, please. 05:15.880 --> 05:17.440 But Jack writes, what about Republicans? 05:17.440 --> 05:20.660 While many say they support the president's war 05:20.660 --> 05:23.800 and they certainly do not want to allow a vote on it. 05:23.920 --> 05:25.100 Right, Jack, that's true. 05:25.620 --> 05:27.620 Republicans, in varying degrees, 05:27.960 --> 05:30.760 embrace the mantle of fiscal conservatism. 05:31.740 --> 05:33.200 I wonder when that was. 05:33.780 --> 05:35.460 This supplemental request will be in addition 05:35.460 --> 05:38.040 to the more than trillion approved last year, 05:38.120 --> 05:40.540 including a $150 billion add-on. 05:41.560 --> 05:43.800 Money the Pentagon is still struggling to spend. 05:45.680 --> 05:47.180 So what about Republicans? 05:47.480 --> 05:49.440 Well, I would say they're not reading the polls. 05:49.740 --> 05:51.360 They're out of touch with the American public. 05:51.980 --> 05:54.240 Americans, by and large, are not interested in this war. 05:54.280 --> 05:56.800 Even Republicans are not interested in this war. 05:57.060 --> 05:58.840 Certainly when you talk about boots on the ground, 05:58.920 --> 06:00.340 which this money is going to go for, 06:00.960 --> 06:02.480 Republicans are completely against it. 06:03.000 --> 06:05.680 But Republican members of Congress? 06:05.980 --> 06:07.320 Not so much, right? 06:07.640 --> 06:09.620 You know, there's always a limit on the spending 06:09.620 --> 06:11.480 and the problems and the ramifications, 06:11.480 --> 06:13.580 the violation of civil liberties. 06:14.120 --> 06:15.920 And they went too far with COVID. 06:16.320 --> 06:17.780 People finally do wake up. 06:18.500 --> 06:22.500 And I think most of the time it's too little, too late. 06:22.740 --> 06:24.300 Most of the time it takes a long time. 06:24.960 --> 06:26.820 I don't even know if they ever woke up. 06:26.940 --> 06:28.760 I think they just got worn out 06:28.760 --> 06:30.480 and walked away from Afghanistan. 06:30.940 --> 06:33.080 Yet even when they pretend they walk away, 06:33.300 --> 06:35.160 I thought maybe we finally learned our lesson 06:35.160 --> 06:36.920 10 years in Iraq. 06:37.100 --> 06:39.400 I thought we finally gave up on that. 06:39.400 --> 06:41.900 But we really never left. 06:42.440 --> 06:43.560 We always had a base there. 06:43.580 --> 06:45.920 So they're involved in the battle now 06:45.920 --> 06:49.580 that has been created by our side of that war 06:49.580 --> 06:51.440 with Iran. 06:52.020 --> 06:56.160 So it's one of those things that keeps going on and on. 06:56.720 --> 07:01.340 And I think, I hope this is a subtle reflection 07:01.340 --> 07:03.920 some of these politicians saying different things. 07:04.680 --> 07:07.820 But I think you were inferring, 07:07.820 --> 07:10.380 don't they listen to their constituency? 07:11.200 --> 07:13.800 Because the numbers are just fantastic 07:13.800 --> 07:16.600 when you say, should you spend this money on something? 07:17.760 --> 07:20.900 I think the answer to doing these bills 07:20.900 --> 07:24.300 where they put 100 different things in the bill 07:24.300 --> 07:25.980 and satisfy everybody, 07:26.580 --> 07:29.860 I think every amendment that would add money 07:29.860 --> 07:32.020 to a bill when it's on the high flow 07:32.020 --> 07:33.360 should be voted on separately. 07:33.920 --> 07:36.280 Wouldn't that solve a lot of problems? 07:36.280 --> 07:37.400 Put it up and down. 07:37.580 --> 07:39.500 You want $500 billion, 07:40.320 --> 07:41.860 let's not play these games 07:41.860 --> 07:43.660 because we're broke, we don't have any money, 07:43.720 --> 07:44.720 we have to save a dollar. 07:45.920 --> 07:47.620 But what do you think the odds are 07:47.620 --> 07:49.640 of us having our way on that? 07:49.720 --> 07:50.940 I don't think they're very good. 07:51.300 --> 07:52.860 I think it's going in the opposite direction. 07:53.160 --> 07:53.920 I mean, when we were there, 07:54.100 --> 07:56.180 there was a little bit of transparency on it. 07:56.220 --> 07:57.620 But now they just pile it all in. 07:58.920 --> 08:00.300 Well, let's go back to Jack's piece. 08:01.060 --> 08:02.340 I've got the next clip. 08:02.340 --> 08:04.960 Honestly, for the freedom caucus types 08:04.960 --> 08:06.120 who have demanded holding the line 08:06.120 --> 08:08.420 on deficit spending, and I highlight this, 08:08.560 --> 08:09.580 this should be a no-brainer. 08:09.760 --> 08:10.960 Yes, that is true, it should. 08:11.300 --> 08:12.960 Definitely Jack, it should be a no-brainer. 08:13.280 --> 08:15.520 Even more so for those who remain unclear 08:15.520 --> 08:17.760 as to why the president is waging this war 08:18.320 --> 08:20.060 without Congress congressional approval 08:20.060 --> 08:20.780 in the first place. 08:21.500 --> 08:23.400 Like deficit hawk Thomas Massey 08:23.400 --> 08:25.800 who criticized the supplemental as well as the war 08:26.320 --> 08:28.000 telling CNN it begs the question, 08:28.340 --> 08:29.600 how long do they plan to be there? 08:29.600 --> 08:30.620 What are the goals? 08:30.840 --> 08:32.520 Is this the first $200 billion? 08:32.980 --> 08:34.340 Does this turn into a trillion? 08:35.000 --> 08:36.860 Very, very good questions. Go to the next one. 08:37.200 --> 08:38.640 And here's what they say, Dr. Paul, 08:38.740 --> 08:40.200 and here's how we should interpret it. 08:42.400 --> 08:43.780 Representative Lauren Bubert 08:44.420 --> 08:45.840 who wasn't having it. 08:46.060 --> 08:46.960 She wasn't having it. 08:46.980 --> 08:49.340 She said, I'm so tired of spending money elsewhere. 08:49.760 --> 08:52.080 I'm tired of the industrial war complex 08:52.080 --> 08:53.880 getting our hard-earned dollars. 08:54.240 --> 08:55.260 I've got folks in Colorado 08:55.260 --> 08:56.940 who can't afford to live. 08:56.940 --> 08:59.400 We need American first policies right now. 08:59.680 --> 09:01.200 I will put $10 on the table 09:01.200 --> 09:02.500 Dr. Paul, she votes for it. 09:02.780 --> 09:05.560 And Chip Roy, we talked about it before the show. 09:05.860 --> 09:07.420 Let's not get started on Chip Roy 09:07.420 --> 09:09.420 who always puffs out his chest 09:09.420 --> 09:11.700 and says, I know you don't like talking about people 09:11.700 --> 09:12.960 but I'm going a little bit. 09:13.280 --> 09:14.460 He puffs out his chest and says, 09:14.760 --> 09:16.460 I'm against it. I'm not going to spend any more 09:16.460 --> 09:18.660 Texas money. And then at the very end 09:18.660 --> 09:21.160 he backs down, of course, every time. 09:21.600 --> 09:22.880 But Jack Wright's Chip Roy 09:22.880 --> 09:24.460 gave him more nuanced view. 09:24.460 --> 09:27.360 He defended Trump's position on Iran, of course. 09:27.980 --> 09:29.380 But he also told Fox News 09:29.380 --> 09:31.200 he wants to know where the money's going. 09:31.620 --> 09:33.400 I like to be consistent. 09:33.880 --> 09:35.500 I was consistent about Ukraine. 09:35.980 --> 09:37.900 I'm going to be consistent on Iran. 09:38.400 --> 09:40.560 I just need to make sure I know the game plan. 09:40.960 --> 09:42.620 We want to know what the result's going to be. 09:43.020 --> 09:45.260 Yes, Chip Roy, you are very consistent. 09:45.600 --> 09:47.740 You always give money for war. 09:47.980 --> 09:48.800 I have an idea. 09:49.380 --> 09:50.000 Brilliant idea. 09:50.520 --> 09:52.200 Let's invite him to come on our program. 09:52.200 --> 09:52.600 Yes. 09:52.880 --> 09:55.180 And tell him that we put a little bit of time 09:55.180 --> 09:56.100 in studying this. 09:56.520 --> 09:59.240 And we won't have a perfect answer 09:59.240 --> 10:00.660 to your question. 10:00.800 --> 10:01.200 I'm wondering. 10:01.760 --> 10:03.880 But we'll try to answer the question 10:03.880 --> 10:05.220 where's the money going? 10:05.740 --> 10:07.360 And I'll bet we can get pretty close 10:07.360 --> 10:09.720 to where the money is going 10:09.720 --> 10:11.600 that we could just flat out quit. 10:11.760 --> 10:13.640 We don't even have to cut a here, 10:13.760 --> 10:14.840 10% here or there. 10:15.100 --> 10:16.560 That we just should go that way 10:16.560 --> 10:17.620 because it's wrong. 10:17.720 --> 10:18.500 We don't have the money. 10:18.640 --> 10:19.560 It's unconstitutional. 10:19.560 --> 10:21.780 It's based on theft. 10:22.000 --> 10:23.600 You have to steal money from people 10:23.600 --> 10:25.480 that they disagree with war 10:25.480 --> 10:27.880 and disagree with everything's going on in the Middle East. 10:28.060 --> 10:29.400 Steal the money from them. 10:29.960 --> 10:31.500 And then they suffer what? 10:32.040 --> 10:34.340 The people who have to pay the bulk of this 10:34.340 --> 10:35.770 are the ones who suffer the consequences 10:36.100 --> 10:37.640 of oil prices going up. 10:38.020 --> 10:40.240 And that's the way it is. 10:40.360 --> 10:42.880 And the overall problems of inflation. 10:43.700 --> 10:46.680 So, no, I don't know whether Chip, 10:46.680 --> 10:49.360 I don't know if I've met Chip, 10:49.640 --> 10:52.060 but I sort of said when he came on the scene 10:52.060 --> 10:52.800 and he was in the, 10:52.900 --> 10:54.460 I think he was in the Freedom Caucus, 10:54.740 --> 10:57.680 which wasn't quite like our caucus that we had. 10:57.740 --> 10:58.140 No, no, no. 10:59.680 --> 11:01.700 Most of the things I saw, 11:02.060 --> 11:03.740 but as time went on, I thought, 11:04.060 --> 11:05.720 oh, maybe he has to do this 11:05.720 --> 11:07.600 to get reelected or something. 11:07.820 --> 11:09.580 I was trying to make an excuse for him. 11:09.760 --> 11:16.320 But I predict he probably wouldn't come on. 11:16.320 --> 11:17.940 How did you ever get reelected then 11:17.940 --> 11:19.360 if you didn't do that all the time? 11:19.800 --> 11:20.400 It's a mystery. 11:20.520 --> 11:21.760 It became an asset. 11:21.940 --> 11:22.660 Isn't that amazing? 11:22.840 --> 11:25.580 What they think is the most dangerous thing to do. 11:25.760 --> 11:27.160 And I always laughed at it 11:27.160 --> 11:28.440 because I surprised myself. 11:28.840 --> 11:31.620 When I took a position which I thought was very sound 11:32.120 --> 11:33.300 and it was challenging, 11:33.860 --> 11:36.520 and that was a challenge to the war on drugs, 11:36.680 --> 11:38.000 the insanity of war on drugs. 11:38.220 --> 11:39.000 And I was told, 11:39.440 --> 11:42.700 and people who never could understand it, 11:42.700 --> 11:44.140 but they understood the politics, 11:44.140 --> 11:47.080 they said, Ron, you'll never get reelected 11:47.080 --> 11:50.220 if you're not against putting all these kids that smoke to me, 11:50.320 --> 11:51.400 marijuana weed, 11:51.580 --> 11:52.580 then put them in prison 11:52.580 --> 11:54.900 where they really learn the tricks of their hands. 11:55.680 --> 11:56.120 Exactly. 11:56.280 --> 11:58.300 How to do better drugs. 11:58.580 --> 11:59.960 Well, here's a little bit more. 12:00.700 --> 12:01.460 This is Hexeth. 12:02.440 --> 12:04.400 I'm not even going to say anything about Hexeth. 12:04.880 --> 12:07.200 Just watch him if you want to know what happens. 12:07.780 --> 12:08.260 But go to that. 12:08.380 --> 12:10.200 It takes money, a clip if you can. 12:10.340 --> 12:11.040 Here's Hexeth. 12:11.920 --> 12:13.780 I won't even do an impression of Hexeth. 12:13.780 --> 12:14.800 Dr. Paul, I don't want to, 12:14.860 --> 12:16.220 I don't want to lower the show. 12:16.860 --> 12:19.480 But it takes money to kill bad guys. 12:20.200 --> 12:21.980 Hexeth told reporters last week, 12:22.380 --> 12:24.500 we're going back to Congress and folks there 12:24.500 --> 12:27.360 to ensure we're properly funded for what's been done 12:27.360 --> 12:29.380 and for what we may have to do in the future. 12:29.740 --> 12:31.340 We got to ensure that our ammunition, 12:31.340 --> 12:33.200 that everything is refilled. 12:33.900 --> 12:35.680 So when I read this, Dr. Paul, I thought, 12:35.820 --> 12:36.220 hang on a minute, 12:36.380 --> 12:38.580 they just gave you a trillion dollars 12:38.580 --> 12:39.820 and you don't have ammo? 12:40.700 --> 12:41.760 Where did the money go? 12:41.760 --> 12:45.320 I mean, we spend a trillion dollar military budget. 12:46.340 --> 12:47.920 But wars aren't included. 12:48.500 --> 12:50.200 You know, it's like you've gotten you by a car 12:50.200 --> 12:51.820 and the wheels are extra. 12:52.160 --> 12:52.920 I mean, what do you think? 12:53.300 --> 12:54.360 The hood, well, that's extra. 12:55.380 --> 12:56.920 A trillion dollars for the military. 12:57.460 --> 12:58.880 But the wars are extra. 12:59.180 --> 12:59.900 We got to buy ammo. 13:00.500 --> 13:01.120 You know what? 13:01.520 --> 13:03.400 What if He got what He wanted for? 13:03.840 --> 13:04.440 Give him the money. 13:04.980 --> 13:06.740 Okay, you have to start with the bad guys. 13:07.160 --> 13:09.720 And we'll find out what is good and bad. 13:09.720 --> 13:14.400 And what would have happened if some of the politicians 13:14.400 --> 13:15.780 were on the list? 13:17.160 --> 13:20.560 Take this money and spend it on killing the bad guys. 13:21.400 --> 13:22.800 Well, I'll tell you what, 13:22.860 --> 13:25.720 the attack on liberty and attack on the personal lives 13:26.320 --> 13:27.620 of every American citizen 13:27.620 --> 13:29.440 because they've been bamboozled. 13:29.920 --> 13:32.240 And almost like now, you know, 13:32.560 --> 13:35.940 I keep going back to this declaration 13:35.940 --> 13:38.680 the first month I was in Congress. 13:38.680 --> 13:40.740 Ron, quit worrying about this 13:40.740 --> 13:43.280 because I'm the chairman of this committee 13:43.280 --> 13:47.800 and there's never going to be a declaration of war again. 13:48.380 --> 13:52.000 But he did not say we have ways to get people into war. 13:52.080 --> 13:54.380 We have ways to get the members of Congress 13:54.380 --> 13:56.220 to always vote for the money. 13:56.660 --> 14:01.080 And sometimes we will eventually know how to do it 14:01.080 --> 14:03.140 without even talking about the money. 14:03.300 --> 14:06.020 We can just do things in a very secretive way 14:06.020 --> 14:07.560 through the central banking system, 14:07.560 --> 14:09.300 which I believe happens. 14:09.620 --> 14:14.080 But that's a much bigger and more complicated situation. 14:14.460 --> 14:14.820 Absolutely. 14:15.620 --> 14:18.400 Well, let's pick on someone else for a minute. 14:19.160 --> 14:20.220 And it's not personal. 14:20.420 --> 14:23.100 It's just this indicative of the mindset in D.C. 14:23.480 --> 14:24.240 Put that next one up. 14:24.280 --> 14:25.620 This is Representative Nancy Mace. 14:26.340 --> 14:28.060 Now, she's putting her foot down, Dr. Paul. 14:28.620 --> 14:31.220 If a single boot of a single American soldier 14:31.220 --> 14:33.080 sets foot on Iranian soil, 14:33.560 --> 14:34.940 I will vote against this, 14:34.940 --> 14:36.400 meaning the supplemental. 14:36.740 --> 14:40.020 I will not vote to fund sending South Carolina sons and daughters 14:40.020 --> 14:42.120 to die in a ground war with Iran. 14:42.940 --> 14:47.460 So if no soldiers are on Iranian soil, you'll vote for it then? 14:47.980 --> 14:49.440 I mean, that's literally what she's saying. 14:49.880 --> 14:51.900 If a boot is on the ground, I'll vote against... 14:51.900 --> 14:53.040 If a boot goes on the ground, 14:53.140 --> 14:54.700 she will be pushing everyone out of line 14:54.700 --> 14:56.340 and vote first for the money. 14:56.520 --> 14:58.100 Otherwise they'll tell her, keep it up, please, 14:58.260 --> 14:59.880 that she's not being patriotic. 15:00.280 --> 15:02.860 But here's the beauty of X for all of its faults. 15:02.860 --> 15:05.140 They have community notes, Dr. Paul, 15:05.260 --> 15:07.900 where you can correct people who say things that are incorrect. 15:08.300 --> 15:09.080 If you go to the next one, 15:09.620 --> 15:10.840 the community note said to Nancy, 15:11.040 --> 15:14.580 Nancy Mace already voted against the war powers resolution 15:14.580 --> 15:16.980 that allowed the Iran conflict to... 15:16.980 --> 15:19.080 And she allowed the Iran conflict to continue 15:19.080 --> 15:21.120 without any oversight from Congress. 15:21.300 --> 15:23.280 So she's making a big deal, 15:23.440 --> 15:24.780 a big blustery deal about, 15:24.980 --> 15:26.220 I'm not going to vote for this money. 15:27.280 --> 15:28.820 She's going to vote for it, Dr. Paul. 15:29.100 --> 15:30.740 And I think the one thing that's most important 15:30.740 --> 15:32.060 that Americans need to understand 15:32.060 --> 15:34.980 is as you say, because we don't vote to declare war 15:34.980 --> 15:37.800 and now we don't even vote to authorize war, 15:38.280 --> 15:40.820 when you vote for the money, that is your vote for the war. 15:40.880 --> 15:42.060 That has to be made clear 15:42.060 --> 15:44.120 and maybe someday they'll wake up 15:44.580 --> 15:47.680 and the message has to get to the people 15:47.680 --> 15:50.800 because if there isn't a consensus by the people, 15:51.420 --> 15:53.420 the members of Congress won't listen. 15:54.280 --> 15:57.000 And yet you say, well, isn't that like mob rule? 15:57.480 --> 15:58.860 Well, no, we have mob rule 15:58.860 --> 16:00.320 when you have pure democracy 16:00.630 --> 16:04.620 and you have deficits and then the mob gangs up on the minority. 16:05.020 --> 16:06.560 So all you need is 51% 16:06.560 --> 16:09.560 and you take all the money from the 49% 16:09.560 --> 16:11.500 and take their controls. 16:12.280 --> 16:15.940 So, you know, putting your foot on the ground 16:15.940 --> 16:17.220 is a little bit confusing 16:17.670 --> 16:19.540 because you don't even know where the boundaries are. 16:19.780 --> 16:21.840 Does that mean are we going to include 16:21.840 --> 16:23.060 Venezuela on this? 16:23.460 --> 16:25.840 We'll put our foot on the ground 16:25.840 --> 16:27.200 and nobody complains 16:27.200 --> 16:29.920 as long as they think they're getting more control 16:29.920 --> 16:32.680 and control of oil and all these other things. 16:32.960 --> 16:37.940 So I don't think it's complicated. 16:38.320 --> 16:39.800 I think it's a basic principle 16:39.800 --> 16:43.340 of just having a concept of natural law 16:43.340 --> 16:45.500 which has been built into our Constitution, 16:46.060 --> 16:47.620 common decency, morality 16:48.200 --> 16:52.200 and talk about non-interventionism 16:52.200 --> 16:55.400 and have a foreign policy that follows that. 16:55.400 --> 16:58.820 And it would be a lot nicer 16:58.820 --> 17:00.640 and there would be just thinking 17:00.640 --> 17:02.160 of the thousands of people 17:02.160 --> 17:04.760 that are bombs since World War II 17:04.760 --> 17:06.060 after World War II 17:06.060 --> 17:08.840 have been killed by our weaponry. 17:09.000 --> 17:10.920 Even now, you know, 17:11.000 --> 17:13.680 all these bombs going on in the Middle East, 17:13.840 --> 17:15.200 I mean, almost all the countries 17:15.200 --> 17:16.540 in the Middle East are involved. 17:17.180 --> 17:19.340 And that means we're involved. 17:19.680 --> 17:22.860 So it looks like the promise 17:22.860 --> 17:24.280 that we got in the campaign 17:24.280 --> 17:27.060 that there are to be no new wars 17:27.060 --> 17:28.940 and we're going to stop the wars. 17:29.720 --> 17:32.240 And now with the effort to stop this war 17:32.240 --> 17:33.740 becomes a little more complicated 17:34.280 --> 17:35.880 than most of them thought. 17:36.520 --> 17:38.400 And you remember it very well, Dr. Paul, 17:38.560 --> 17:40.800 because voting for the money is the trap. 17:41.280 --> 17:42.540 Because once you vote for the money, 17:42.760 --> 17:43.900 once the war starts, 17:44.300 --> 17:45.860 you're never going to be able to not vote 17:45.860 --> 17:47.920 for more money because they say you sent them there. 17:48.140 --> 17:48.880 You're going to let them lose. 17:49.080 --> 17:50.700 Yeah, you're going to get them after without any ammunition. 17:51.200 --> 17:52.920 You want them to die? You want Americans to die? 17:52.920 --> 17:54.560 That's the trap. That's the trick. 17:54.700 --> 17:57.580 That's why the other answer is so simple 17:57.580 --> 18:00.380 and it should get more encouragement, 18:00.800 --> 18:04.860 you know, to allow the people 18:04.860 --> 18:07.920 to make sure they can spend their own money. 18:08.620 --> 18:09.760 And sometimes they say, 18:09.780 --> 18:11.680 well, what if there's a condition someplace 18:11.680 --> 18:12.700 and there was an abuse? 18:12.940 --> 18:15.200 Could an American citizen go over there and help? 18:16.080 --> 18:17.920 If you don't let them steal money from one group 18:17.920 --> 18:19.640 and send the troops, you know, 18:20.200 --> 18:21.360 sometimes that happens. 18:21.980 --> 18:23.220 People can volunteer, 18:23.560 --> 18:25.320 but that shouldn't be the excuse for us 18:25.320 --> 18:27.220 and the Marines to save their lives. 18:27.720 --> 18:30.940 I mean, it should be done at their own risk, 18:31.160 --> 18:35.000 but that is just an academic idea. 18:36.040 --> 18:38.500 Because I think the controls are pretty solid 18:38.500 --> 18:41.300 and then you mix that in with international organizations 18:41.300 --> 18:43.600 like NATO and United Nations 18:43.600 --> 18:45.300 and it gets a little more confusing. 18:45.420 --> 18:46.080 It does indeed. 18:46.680 --> 18:48.440 Well, the second thing we want to talk about briefly 18:48.440 --> 18:50.020 is just kind of an update on yesterday 18:50.020 --> 18:52.220 because remember yesterday the entire day 18:52.220 --> 18:55.380 was about Trump saying we're negotiating with Iran. 18:55.580 --> 18:56.740 We're so close to a deal. 18:57.460 --> 18:59.240 They are talking sense. 18:59.240 --> 19:01.200 Finally, we are so close to a deal. 19:02.020 --> 19:04.120 Well, it turns out that was just talk for the markets. 19:04.880 --> 19:05.720 It wasn't true. 19:06.600 --> 19:08.240 And in fact, today it's just like 19:08.240 --> 19:09.880 Trump is gaslighting us. 19:09.940 --> 19:11.560 He says stuff that he knows isn't true 19:11.560 --> 19:13.540 and we're just expected to believe it. 19:13.840 --> 19:14.740 We'll go to this next one. 19:14.860 --> 19:17.200 Now, this is from Hedge this morning. 19:20.000 --> 19:22.220 Iran rejects U.S. proposed ceasefire, 19:22.820 --> 19:25.120 counters with five conditions for ending the war 19:25.120 --> 19:27.140 as U.S. troops are en route. 19:28.060 --> 19:29.580 So they're not having talks. 19:30.080 --> 19:31.320 They're not about to make an agreement. 19:31.760 --> 19:32.680 They said no way, Jose. 19:34.320 --> 19:36.660 We don't want to have no interest in this deal 19:36.660 --> 19:38.000 that you're sending us. 19:38.060 --> 19:39.520 And as you said in your opener, Dr. Paul, 19:39.940 --> 19:40.660 why would they? 19:41.020 --> 19:42.520 Every time they sit down to talks, 19:42.700 --> 19:43.660 they get blown up. 19:43.880 --> 19:45.120 Who would sit down again? 19:45.300 --> 19:45.440 Nobody. 19:46.020 --> 19:47.200 So go to the next one. 19:47.240 --> 19:49.800 Now, here's what Iran wants to end the war. 19:50.700 --> 19:53.860 A complete halt to aggression and assassinations 19:53.860 --> 19:54.580 by the enemy. 19:55.600 --> 19:57.500 The establishment of concrete mechanisms 19:57.500 --> 19:59.820 to ensure the war is not reimposed 19:59.820 --> 20:01.480 on the Islamic Republic. 20:02.080 --> 20:03.980 Guarantee and clearly define payment 20:03.980 --> 20:05.940 of war damages and reparations. 20:06.580 --> 20:08.260 Well, they were the ones who were tagged. 20:08.600 --> 20:10.860 I mean, for the conclusion of the war 20:10.860 --> 20:13.360 across all fronts and for all resistance groups 20:13.360 --> 20:15.280 involved throughout the region 20:15.280 --> 20:18.220 and five international recognition and guarantees 20:19.000 --> 20:20.600 regarding Iran's sovereign right 20:20.600 --> 20:25.040 to exercise authority over the Strait of Hormuz. 20:25.360 --> 20:27.400 So that basically is going to change a lot of things. 20:27.900 --> 20:29.120 And now you go to the next one. 20:29.180 --> 20:30.060 Now, here's what they've said. 20:31.880 --> 20:34.660 Iranian officials have told the countries 20:34.660 --> 20:36.700 trying to mediate the peace talks with the U.S. 20:37.040 --> 20:38.400 that they have been out and tricked 20:38.400 --> 20:39.760 twice by President Trump. 20:40.040 --> 20:42.380 And quote, we don't want to be fooled again. 20:42.380 --> 20:43.980 Well, according to a source. 20:44.340 --> 20:45.480 Well, that's understandable. 20:45.800 --> 20:48.300 You can't keep blowing up people you're negotiating with 20:48.300 --> 20:51.160 and invite them to come back for new negotiations. 20:51.520 --> 20:55.120 It's not rocket science, I think, Dr. Paul. 20:55.920 --> 20:58.340 You know, I got a kick out of this one 20:58.340 --> 21:00.880 answer from an Iranian leader. 21:01.540 --> 21:03.660 He said what they don't understand 21:04.360 --> 21:06.920 is that we are going to defend it. 21:07.020 --> 21:09.260 And they used the term I thought was appropriate. 21:09.260 --> 21:13.220 And they don't realize that we would defend our land. 21:13.380 --> 21:16.260 And I always make the point that the people, 21:17.200 --> 21:19.660 the people who beat us are the people 21:19.660 --> 21:21.760 who own the land they live there. 21:22.080 --> 21:23.900 And of course, that always, you know, 21:23.960 --> 21:25.460 in the general principle of liberty, 21:26.080 --> 21:29.940 it not only should people who get together 21:29.940 --> 21:32.780 and put a society together have a right 21:32.780 --> 21:35.260 to defend their land as they see it. 21:35.260 --> 21:39.720 It's also the principle of private property, you know. 21:40.200 --> 21:47.020 And it's so amazing how we go in the wrong direction. 21:47.120 --> 21:47.860 But that's history. 21:47.980 --> 21:50.080 History, they've been going the wrong way forever. 21:50.380 --> 21:53.000 Because in spite of all the wars 21:53.000 --> 21:55.820 and everything that's going on, even in the 20th century, 21:56.060 --> 21:59.620 just think of the scientific improvements that have been made. 21:59.720 --> 22:02.140 Yet at the same time, millions of people 22:02.140 --> 22:05.720 have died at the hand of a government 22:05.720 --> 22:10.120 that pursues these causes with the use of force. 22:10.800 --> 22:15.640 So this is something that I don't know whether they'll ever... 22:15.640 --> 22:18.900 They're not on a verge of peace-breaking eyes the way I see it. 22:19.000 --> 22:20.980 So we'll have to see. 22:21.240 --> 22:21.500 Yeah. 22:21.920 --> 22:24.180 Well, I had a couple of tidbits toward the end, Dr. Paul. 22:24.680 --> 22:26.300 And one, with always great insights 22:26.300 --> 22:27.600 from our friend Glenn Greenwald, 22:28.100 --> 22:29.720 you remember when the Republicans, 22:29.720 --> 22:33.940 when Trump was tearing up the JCPOA, the Iran deal, 22:34.440 --> 22:39.200 he said, that stupid Obama, he gave Iran $1.7 billion. 22:40.200 --> 22:41.400 Of course, it was their own money. 22:41.640 --> 22:42.160 Yeah, we sure. 22:42.320 --> 22:42.600 For them. 22:43.260 --> 22:44.700 But it was a whole thing was still. 22:45.460 --> 22:47.660 That dumb Obama, how did he give them money? 22:48.080 --> 22:49.720 Well, put up Glenn Green... 22:50.880 --> 22:51.060 Sorry. 22:51.520 --> 22:55.120 Put up Glenn's piece, a little ex-post now, 22:55.240 --> 22:56.400 which is kind of funny. 22:56.400 --> 22:59.680 One of the most consistent vehement complaints about Obama 22:59.680 --> 23:03.440 was that he released funds of $1.7 billion to Iran. 23:03.980 --> 23:05.900 They think Obama gifted it to them 23:05.900 --> 23:09.120 rather than released it at the funds that we stole, but whatever. 23:09.720 --> 23:11.080 And here's the funny part, Dr. Paul. 23:11.660 --> 23:13.660 Trump's lifting of sanctions on Iran this week 23:13.660 --> 23:17.200 could generate $14 billion for Iran. 23:17.640 --> 23:21.200 So they're going to get $14 billion from this 23:21.200 --> 23:24.100 because Trump is panicking over the oil markets. 23:24.100 --> 23:25.540 And rightly so. 23:26.920 --> 23:29.680 And I have two videos to play 23:31.040 --> 23:34.840 because this is also Trump talking about how we're winning. 23:35.240 --> 23:35.860 We've won. 23:36.200 --> 23:37.020 It's all over. 23:37.600 --> 23:39.840 And I'm going to just follow up those videos 23:39.840 --> 23:42.240 with something that I think is why he seems 23:42.240 --> 23:44.220 to be so out of touch with reality. 23:44.740 --> 23:45.980 You might want to grab that earpiece. 23:46.320 --> 23:47.460 These are short, Dr. Paul, 23:47.520 --> 23:49.600 but you might want to put in your sound piece 23:49.600 --> 23:52.560 and listen to President Trump. 23:53.880 --> 23:54.300 Disappointed. 23:54.540 --> 23:56.280 I don't want to say this, but I have to. 23:57.100 --> 23:59.860 I said, Pete and General Raisin Cain, 23:59.980 --> 24:03.060 I think this thing is going to be settled very soon. 24:03.700 --> 24:04.100 Here they go. 24:04.760 --> 24:06.380 Oh, that's too bad. 24:07.780 --> 24:09.360 Pete didn't want it to be settled. 24:11.800 --> 24:14.080 It's these guys are doing a great job. 24:14.320 --> 24:15.800 That's a good attitude though, Tom, right? 24:16.700 --> 24:18.220 They were not interested in settlement. 24:18.440 --> 24:20.200 They were interested in just winning this thing. 24:20.200 --> 24:20.560 Yeah. 24:20.720 --> 24:21.900 Let's go to the second one then. 24:22.240 --> 24:22.680 Sorry. 24:22.820 --> 24:23.740 Let's go to the second one. 24:23.760 --> 24:27.560 This is this is him talking about how we've how we've won here. 24:33.100 --> 24:37.140 Well, we're in negotiations as it turned out. 24:37.320 --> 24:40.140 And now you've seen what I said yesterday was exactly 24:40.140 --> 24:40.500 correct. 24:40.660 --> 24:42.120 We're in negotiations right now. 24:42.640 --> 24:44.760 They're doing it along with Marco JD. 24:45.400 --> 24:47.580 We have a number of people doing it. 24:47.580 --> 24:50.400 And the other side, I can tell you, they'd like to make a deal. 24:50.920 --> 24:52.700 And who wouldn't, if you were there, look, 24:54.080 --> 24:55.080 their Navy's gone. 24:55.520 --> 24:56.540 Their Air Force is gone. 24:56.940 --> 24:57.300 There we go. 24:58.600 --> 24:59.840 They're dying to make a deal. 25:00.080 --> 25:01.180 We're talking right now. 25:01.360 --> 25:02.060 We're making a deal. 25:02.640 --> 25:04.480 They're ready and say there's absolutely no truth to it. 25:04.500 --> 25:07.340 And you say, well, why is Trump making this stuff up? 25:08.060 --> 25:09.520 We'll go to that next clip, Dr. Paul. 25:09.600 --> 25:10.600 And I think this might be a reason. 25:11.140 --> 25:12.820 Catherine Doyle is with NBC News. 25:12.920 --> 25:14.380 She's a White House correspondent. 25:15.140 --> 25:16.520 And this is kind of revelatory. 25:16.520 --> 25:19.540 I mean, this is important that Catherine Doyle. 25:19.600 --> 25:19.900 Here we go. 25:20.380 --> 25:23.480 Exclusive, every day since the start of the war, 25:23.760 --> 25:28.360 US military officials compile a video update for President 25:28.360 --> 25:32.120 Trump that shows the biggest, most successful strikes 25:32.120 --> 25:35.820 on Iranian targets over the previous 48 hours. 25:36.300 --> 25:40.400 But the military can't fully brief Trump on every strike. 25:40.620 --> 25:43.360 So the video, while it showcases US capabilities, 25:43.980 --> 25:47.160 doesn't reflect the full scope of the conflict. 25:47.800 --> 25:49.560 We can't tell him every single thing that happens, 25:49.980 --> 25:51.280 a current US official said. 25:51.760 --> 25:53.900 The official noted that Trump's briefings tend to draw 25:53.900 --> 25:55.760 better feedback from his aides 25:55.760 --> 25:57.860 than when they focus on US victories. 25:58.100 --> 26:00.380 So he's not getting a briefing book, Dr. Paul. 26:00.700 --> 26:02.000 He's not getting a CIA briefing. 26:02.420 --> 26:05.080 He's getting video clips of bombs dropping on Tehran. 26:05.280 --> 26:07.160 Well, no wonder he feels convinced that we're winning. 26:07.700 --> 26:10.240 I get a kick out of the fact that when things get 26:10.240 --> 26:12.920 in the trouble like oil distribution 26:12.920 --> 26:16.740 and the ships doing this, that he has to suspend 26:16.740 --> 26:18.620 the sanctions on Russians. 26:20.380 --> 26:23.360 Suspend even the oil coming out of Iran. 26:24.180 --> 26:26.400 So it's admission of the whole thing. 26:26.700 --> 26:28.520 Not only is it a foreign policy failure, 26:28.700 --> 26:31.980 but all this sanction stuff and tariffs and things, 26:32.260 --> 26:34.480 they find out that they're a nuisance 26:34.480 --> 26:37.020 when you go and start a war on top of it. 26:37.020 --> 26:41.220 The argument always is that if you don't have trade, 26:41.340 --> 26:43.620 you will eventually have war. 26:44.260 --> 26:45.240 Wars break out. 26:45.820 --> 26:49.260 But in this case, it was a combination coming together. 26:49.900 --> 26:51.720 And I think that's why the American people 26:51.720 --> 26:54.720 are very unhappy about expanding the war 26:54.720 --> 26:56.860 and sending more troops over there. 26:57.760 --> 27:02.040 And how that's going to solve the problems that we face. 27:02.480 --> 27:06.260 I have no idea where they get that information. 27:06.260 --> 27:07.500 Yeah, absolutely. 27:08.220 --> 27:10.900 Well, I do have an announcement to make 27:10.900 --> 27:13.600 if you put that final clip up. 27:13.780 --> 27:15.100 I said I was going to have a big announcement. 27:15.520 --> 27:19.380 This is for our spring conference coming up in a month's time. 27:19.480 --> 27:22.220 Plenty of time to get those tickets, but not a lot of tickets left. 27:22.600 --> 27:23.120 Yes, indeed. 27:23.780 --> 27:26.940 Marjorie Taylor Green will be coming down to Texas 27:26.940 --> 27:30.240 to speak at the Ron Paul Institute Conference 27:30.240 --> 27:33.260 on April 25th. 27:33.260 --> 27:36.100 Dr. Paul, she's an independent voice. 27:36.760 --> 27:38.520 People thought she was going to just shut up 27:38.520 --> 27:39.460 once she left Congress. 27:39.880 --> 27:40.860 She's done the opposite. 27:41.200 --> 27:44.940 She's spearheading some serious political movements in the U.S. 27:45.500 --> 27:47.120 She's talking to all the right people. 27:48.400 --> 27:50.700 If you were a subscriber to Ron Paul, 27:50.740 --> 27:52.160 this was an update she'd know this last night. 27:52.560 --> 27:54.560 But when I asked her originally a few weeks ago, 27:54.620 --> 27:55.400 it's been hard to get her. 27:55.760 --> 27:56.700 She said, I love Ron Paul. 27:57.060 --> 27:57.860 I love to do it. 27:58.200 --> 27:59.680 But her schedule was difficult, 27:59.780 --> 28:00.920 but she worked everything out. 28:01.260 --> 28:02.100 She's going to be down here. 28:02.100 --> 28:05.320 You're going to want to see Marjorie Taylor Green in person 28:05.900 --> 28:08.480 talking about what it was like in D.C. 28:09.120 --> 28:10.340 for all the stuff that's happening. 28:10.620 --> 28:13.140 So I'm going to go ahead and put the link 28:13.840 --> 28:16.140 in the show right now to get those tickets. 28:17.220 --> 28:18.480 Don't miss that on your opportunity. 28:18.660 --> 28:20.080 I've got another big announcement tomorrow, 28:20.100 --> 28:21.340 but this is a big one. 28:21.540 --> 28:22.140 Marjorie Taylor Green. 28:22.380 --> 28:23.540 I can't wait to meet her in person. 28:23.960 --> 28:25.230 She seems like such an interesting personality. 28:25.880 --> 28:26.120 Wonderful. 28:26.400 --> 28:26.620 Yeah. 28:26.920 --> 28:27.900 You know what I like? 28:27.900 --> 28:32.640 I like when people subtly but brilliantly 28:32.640 --> 28:38.760 change their opinion and challenges the status quo. 28:40.060 --> 28:44.880 And this to me takes a lot of courage at times 28:44.880 --> 28:47.120 because there's a lot of heat from your allies 28:47.120 --> 28:48.760 and you have in politics, 28:48.980 --> 28:51.880 you have all these loyalties yet to deal with. 28:52.340 --> 28:54.220 But I often think of one of my heroes, 28:54.220 --> 28:58.060 and that was, of course, our friend was Walter Jones, 28:58.060 --> 29:02.420 because he was so locked in on the foreign policy. 29:02.760 --> 29:08.280 But he went from irrational hawkism that he had to bomb 29:08.280 --> 29:12.300 and all this stuff to the point where he was one of the 29:12.300 --> 29:16.080 strongest and most influential individuals 29:16.080 --> 29:18.380 and he is still remembered by that. 29:18.680 --> 29:20.960 So I love it when we come across somebody 29:20.960 --> 29:25.440 that challenges the status quo and decides that, 29:25.760 --> 29:29.560 yes, even though a lot of people went along with this. 29:29.760 --> 29:31.380 But there's people like this all the time 29:31.380 --> 29:33.040 and sometimes you never hear from them 29:33.040 --> 29:37.000 because I know after I decided that everybody should 29:37.000 --> 29:41.480 wake up and think more about the stupidity of the war 29:41.480 --> 29:44.840 on drugs that there were a lot of people came out. 29:45.520 --> 29:48.420 And then all of a sudden they were sort of 29:48.420 --> 29:49.840 waiting on somebody to say it. 29:49.840 --> 29:52.620 So I think it is a wonderful thing. 29:52.740 --> 29:55.280 I don't like it when people go the other way 29:55.640 --> 29:58.880 where they're basically libertarian and niche 29:58.880 --> 30:01.620 and conservative and constitutionalist. 30:01.940 --> 30:03.760 And then they get into Washington and they see, 30:04.020 --> 30:07.600 oh, to become influential and to have clout, 30:07.780 --> 30:09.380 you have to go the other way. 30:09.780 --> 30:10.840 I don't like that. 30:11.100 --> 30:13.460 I think that's a sellout. 30:13.840 --> 30:16.240 And unfortunately more leave. 30:16.240 --> 30:18.820 But boy, when people wake up and say, 30:20.100 --> 30:26.020 I might just, if I change my position on this 30:26.020 --> 30:29.220 and I think it's a delight because I think 30:29.220 --> 30:32.280 that it represents the people waking up. 30:32.440 --> 30:34.720 I always use it as an example to wake people 30:34.720 --> 30:38.160 waking up under the insanity of treating COVID 30:38.160 --> 30:40.220 and a couple of things like that 30:40.220 --> 30:43.140 because that is moving in the right direction. 30:43.140 --> 30:46.440 So that is I think from moment to moment 30:46.440 --> 30:49.880 that's the most we can ever have happen to us 30:49.880 --> 30:52.320 is at least take the step in the right direction 30:52.320 --> 30:55.640 because we can't achieve a perfect liberty 30:55.640 --> 31:00.020 and perfect peace, but we can move in that direction. 31:00.280 --> 31:02.060 But if we're always stepping in the direction, 31:02.860 --> 31:09.680 the direction of setting up the bigger government 31:09.680 --> 31:11.960 and government interventionism overseas 31:11.960 --> 31:14.440 and more spending, I'll tell you what, 31:14.540 --> 31:17.480 that could be discouraging, but the one thing is it always ends 31:17.480 --> 31:19.500 and we have to be prepared for that 31:19.500 --> 31:20.720 and the answers are not complex. 31:21.240 --> 31:23.420 The answers can be found in peace and prosperity 31:23.420 --> 31:27.360 by recognizing the liberty of each and every individual. 31:28.440 --> 31:30.860 I want to thank everybody for tuning in today 31:30.860 --> 31:32.460 to the Liberty Report. 31:32.920 --> 31:34.220 Please come back soon. 31:52.110 --> 31:54.930 This country is in a revolution 31:54.930 --> 31:58.530 and I happen to be lucky enough to be part of it.
