Hello everybody and thank you for tuning in to the Liberty report with us today we have
Daniel McAdams our co-host Daniel good to see you. Good morning Dr. Paul how are you
this morning? I'm doing well doing well have a couple things we need to talk about there's
a war going on I don't know if you know I know you know about it but which war yeah I
bet there's several wars going on and some wars we find that some people in our own
government are warring against themselves or with their pseudo friends but anyway
the war we were going to be talking about today is the one that's going on
it's getting hotter all the time and that has to do with Iran and there's
headlines now and of course we resorted to taking a peek at what Dave DeKamp was
supposed to say about this the headline report Pentagon prepares for weeks of
ground operations in Iran I thought it was a couple days then I thought it was a
couple weeks then maybe maybe a month but now who knows well we we have a
suspicion that our uneducated guesses were always you know pretty close to the
target a lot longer than that to what they tell us and that's the way it's
been over these decades that we've looked at this subject so this is this is a
big big problem and the there's more preparations it's not like they're
just going to go in there and drop a couple bombs and come home they're
taking the troops and I think we have some evidence of troops actually being
sent what they're going to do and when they're going to do and how accurate the
information is that's a different story because I think this administration
probably has been the most open of any presidential presidential administration
ever but they probably have given us mixed ideas and information than
anybody before so no more the more they give us the more less information we get
but I think the frustration is being at least witnessed by a few other
Americans because I think the numbers are showing that there are other people
we're not the only two people in this country concerned about you know
getting information and knowing what's going on and are they doing it
properly do they look at the Constitution no those numbers are growing but
still there's a lot of loyalty and I can understand it because there has been a
lot of promises made by the president and some he's carried through and we like
to see what he says I'm going to reduce the size of scope with interference
of government but it isn't that we we really liked his his campaign for less
less wars I don't start wars and stop more wars and that hasn't been the case
there's there's too many wars going on and the only thing that's going to stop
it is when we run out of money and run out of weapons right now we've run out
of money but we still have conned the world into still taking dollar so as
long as they'll take our dollars I guess we'll do this but I think it's
getting dead definitely close to the point where they're going to take them
less I think China the other day demanded that they sell their oil in the
wall on into Chinese money so so it's shifting it's not going to be overnight
it might be you know steady but eventually I think we'll have to pay the
price because you can't get everything for nothing forever and now I think I
think the market and the politics of it was demanding a payment and they're not
there they put up with us for a long time and and there's a logic to why it was
coming out of World War two because we have been it's still are very wealthy but
we're less wealthy than people believe if you say that we're as wealthy as we
were in the 50s and the 60s and we can go on forever then they're making
a mistake because I think this build-up and what's happening in the military
tells us there is a limit and I think the limit is starting to show yeah and
what happened this morning dr. Paul we're talking about it a little bit which
is about going in with the troops apparently they're up to fifty five
fifty thousand there of course not all those not all of those are combat
troops a very small percentage of those are actual combat troops because you
have all sorts of logistics people and in that sort of thing but what
Trump has done now for two Mondays in a row his talk really tough over the
weekend and then put out a conciliatory post on social media Monday morning
first thing because I think he's terrified of the markets you mentioned
it in your opening he's terrified of oil shooting up and I looked in just
before we went live and it's at 111 Brent crude right now and he's
terrified of it going up he's terrified of what's happening to the
markets because of this war and so let's put this up this is what he
put out I think this is probably one of his most unhinged ones I have to say
dr. Paul I think the strain is getting to and be honest I'm not a
psychiatrist or psychologist but this seems well another level so here's
what he said the United States is of America is in serious negotiations
with a new and more reasonable regime to end our military operations in
Iran great progress has been made but if for any reason a deal is not
shortly reached which it probably will be and if Hormuz Strait is not
immediately open for business we will conclude our lovely stay in Iran by
blowing up and completely obliterating all of their electric generating
plants oil wells and carg island and possibly all desalination plants which
we have purposely not yet touched this will be in retribution for our
many soldiers and others that here on has butchered and killed over the
old regime's 47 year reign of terror thank you for your attention to this
matter president Donald J. Trump unhinged dr. Paul I think is putting it
lightly but the other thing that people might point out is that he's
basically pre-confessing to a war crime doing all of those things blowing up
civilian infrastructure in that way is a war crime and it's something that
may dog him in the future because he's already pre-preconfessing to it that
this was is what he's about to do so you can imagine if the Dems come to
power what we have his confession right here this is what he did or not that we
support international justice which we don't but there is such a thing and so
he will face a life where he can't really travel if he has a worn out for him so
a very very mixed bag on this and strange but if you go to the next
one now this is from the zero heads right up it's similar to what Dave was
writing about the possibility of ground troops so after this Iran again rejects
excessive demands Iran is once again stated that it rejects us demands as
excessive and illogical according to the state agency news agency confirming that
it did not participate in the weekend Pakistan hosted summit attended by
foreign ministers of Turkey Pakistan Saudi Arabia and Egypt and here's a
quote from the foreign ministry spokesman in a press conference he
said we have never had any direct negotiations with the United States
what has been raised our messages received through intermediaries indicating
the US desire to negotiate so what Trump is doing I think Dr. Paul is
conflating this passage of messages through intermediaries as some sort of
negotiation with a new regime in Iran and you know and on the way over I was
listening to Judge Napolitano our good friend talking to Alistair crook
who spent a lot of time in the Middle East as a diplomat and in my six and he
said according to his sources he knows for a fact that there are no direct or
indirect negotiations between the US and Iran so it literally looks like
Trump is again making up a story that's just not true you know we're very
powerful we throw our weight around excuse me we set up these deadlines yeah
we set up these deadlines and about 50% or more of the time they're canceled or
changed or doing something else and so I think the credibility thing we even
when they let's say that they sit down and they're closer to maybe talking to
each other maybe out of necessity but they're not going to be able to trust
trust to do it because because you know he's gonna do this this this and it
doesn't and then he says oh I was gonna give him 48 hours to do this oh okay
we'll give him six more days you know goes on and on so that that you know
silence would be better than than that you know but of course silence with
bringing everybody home and stop this nonsense is what we really need yeah and
you pointed out this is at the top of drugs today because we know now that
there are at least two at least one marine expeditionary unit possibly two
in the region and the 82nd airborne is close if not there already here's a
photo of what it looks like when you are sitting there waiting to carry out
any orders you may have if you put that next photo up lots of American
service members it's got to be a pretty tense situation now this is the English
the UK telegraph that next one Iran promises to set US troops on fire to
Iran vows to retaliate if Pentagon follows through on plans for weeks long
ground invasion now that wouldn't be a surprise to anyone I would hope that
we would certainly do that if someone had a ground invasion of the US but now
from that article it does quote the speaker of parliament golly buff and he
issued a threat as he accused Washington if you go to that next clip of
being too faced about peace talks while preparing to put boots on the ground
I just wanted to point that out because that is a pattern that the US has
repeated at least three times now and it happened back in last June when we
were having talks all the while we were building up military resources and
then boom we helped Israel launch a surprise at the sneak attack and then
it happened again in in February when we were having talks and then Trump was
saying things are going well we're having great talks as they build up
happened and then boom another sneak attack and that's happening right now
except the buildup is not just the air the buildup is in actual US
soldiers they're building up while they're pretending that they're having
talks so golly buff the speaker of the house is not being is is is actually
just recognizing a pattern in wisely saying we've seen this movie before and
we don't like how it ends I I read a report today and I know you can
explain this to me the secretary of the Treasury had had a report and the
Senate said that in time over time we're gonna retake the straight of her moves
and I got to thinking well why is he giving me this report and I decided you
know he's involved with the money I think a little bit supposed to watch the
money and pay our bills and no have no debt you know run a organized how
how about why doesn't he take on the Fed or something do something different
there's no idea the secretary of Treasury because I mean he gets the news
yeah I don't know what the purpose of that is or was because it doesn't make a
whole lot of sense but the other word the word that word is stuck out was the
retake it when did they have it when do we have it I don't think they they
all that maybe for three days when they said we we're gonna do this ABC and
anyway didn't do it and the purchase didn't work yeah I mean the the only reason
the straight was open is because the Iranians of loud of allowed it to be
open now you can think that's right or that's wrong but geography or you know
some higher power I gave them that land and it happens to be a choke point so
the US has never controlled it but Besson has never been accused of being
the sharpest knife in the drawer let's put it this way I don't know why
they have him as the face and voice of the administration maybe the others are
much less impressive but the idea that we're going to take it back quote unquote
it's pretty preposterous you know yes hey you know they also are including you
know over the years many years back to you know in a Bush era they told us
they wouldn't cost the American people anything cost them a little few lives
a few family members suffer from it but they and they certainly wouldn't they're
ending wars were told that but well now they're going to go in at least they're
going to talk about it but I see you know some with a little bit cooler heads
or tell them the last question and that is to seize their uranium yeah after
they blew up so supposed to have blown the thing up even then we had
evidence you know that there wasn't they worse it was no effort being made to
to make a nuclear weapon but and now and now they treated it as if it's brand new
and I haven't heard to say if we hadn't done that it had a bomb in a week no
it would have taken about two weeks or so it's propaganda and the people who
run the propaganda machines make all the difference in the world on what the
think yeah that and that uranium that's an important deal because the troops are
there and everyone's wondering what are they supposed to do are they going to
take carg island if so then what what are they going to do with it we've got
this island great or they're going to take a minor island in in that in the
region in the Persian Gulf well they take it and where they do they're
like sitting ducks there's nowhere to hide they're right under the fire
power of the Iranians because the cliffs are right there on the on the
coastline so what are you going to do if you take it well then say well maybe
we're going to go in and take that uranium that reminds me of an operation
that Carter launched in the 70s if you remember to go get our hostages that
did not end well I'm going to go to that next clip this is from the hedge
article but this seems to be like what they're talking about which may
indicate that that's what they are going to do or that they're not going
to do plan for uranium seizure is now all of a sudden coming up there
this is like something out of a movie no wonder it appeals to President
Trump but with more Marines and reported the airborne troops on route to the
region among Trump's options is the seizure of Iran's enriched uranium a
fresh Wall Street Journal report said Monday President Trump is weighing a
military operation to extract nearly a thousand pounds of uranium from Iran
according to US officials a complex and risky mission that would likely put
American forces inside the country for days or longer no decision has been
made the report makes clear in the White House is said to be considering the
danger to US troops I hope they are would be my question or would be my
comment on the question that likely does something to go wrong or some kind of
mass casualty event for US forces would be high they would be of course very
high and the other chance and them getting bogged down for weeks inside
Iran I wonder if Lindsay's getting a little bit nervous I wonder if he
thinks they're not moving fast enough well he went to Walt Disney World over
the weekend to cool his heels so probably not the best choice of a vacation
spot there it is it is nutty crazy senseless expensive unnecessary and
it just shouldn't happen if you had a decent government and it's absurd that's
the thing that's that the craziest part about it now put this next one up on
Rubio here's what Rubio's he was over he was on the shows over the weekend of
course the that next clip of Rubio here's what he said the world he sees he's
outraged dr. Paul the world should take note of Iran's threats to set up a
system in the straight where they control who goes through international
waters well guess what they didn't do that before you invaded it was
actually your invasion that caused the problem so you can't blame them from
doing something that they hadn't been doing before you started bombing them and
I think the Washington Post captures it well here I'll go to that next one this
is talk about self-licking ice cream cone reopening the Strait of Hormuz a
critical conduit for global energy supplies has emerged as perhaps the
paramount objective of the Iran war that shows how absurd it is dr. Paul it
was open before we started the war we cause now what we're claiming we
have to continue the war to take care of we've caused the conditions that force
us to continue the war but it is that characteristic of so many things like
that that the administration or our side go and do something we create the
problem and then we have to respond to it and then we blame blame them
because they've they protected themselves they were self that most of what
the Iranians have done has been self-defense yeah yet they get play yeah
it's like going out the force and starting a force fire and then going with
the hose and say aren't I a great hero I saw the fire I saw the problem it's
exactly what they do well I've got a couple of videos since we're on the
topic of Rubio of course he was everywhere over the weekend now here
he is very clearly explaining our goals in Iran and very sarcastically saying
if you haven't been listening we've already said that before we can queue
up that first video we're going to play those first two videos in a row I'm
going to put you in that's what we stopped there rewind it yeah rewind it
doctor probably want to get your earpiece in here and so you can hear
what Rubio is explaining we don't want to miss that okay operation okay and
that's what this is it's about very specific objectives the president laid
them out on the first night of the operation I'll repeat them to you now
because I hear a lot of talk about we don't know what the clear objectives
are here they are you should write them down number one the destruction of
their air force number two the destruction of their Navy number three
that the severe diminishing of their missile launching capability and number
four the destruction of their factory so they can't make more missiles and more
drones to threaten us in the future all of this so that they can never hide
behind it to acquire a nuclear weapon that was our objective from the
beginning that remains that one so they never had an air force the air
forces like pre-shaught times the few ships in their quote-unquote Navy that
we've put down or a couple of old a couple of old ships the idea that remember
what Trump said when the war started well 90% of their missiles are gone their
missiles are all gone and then they kept firing them at the same pace so it's
obviously not they're not depleting that and the factories themselves are
housed deep inside of mountains that cannot be blown up so literally none
of these things even though they claim they've done a couple of them
none of them are being done it's absolutely impossible to do Ruby Rubio
described it as if it's a holy war yeah he is he is a saint and this is his
mission and there's no question whatsoever and it just to me describes the
danger that we're in and it's not the danger from the you know the
Iranians come out over here and start in Obama yeah it's it's our own
government what they're doing to us that we're going to talk about you know
another item today where our government is just getting bigger and and and they're
establishing the credentials of of it being permission and you know we and
especially I was on the receiving end of mentioning the Constitution yeah and
the respect they have but we don't look at that part of the Constitution
anymore so those are those are the real dangers that the American people
ought to be looking at and they ought to look at the basic principle of
self-ownership and and you saw the true rejection of the aggression that it
causes these people to run off to Congress and they do it in the name of
humanity and they do it the one way to hook so many people into this is safety
yeah don't you want to be safe from bad drugs and bad medicine and bad food
and the military you have to be safe and you can't be safe if you don't have the
government there to tell you what to do every minute of the day well tell you
what it's it hasn't worked isn't going to work and it's coming to an end I'm
glad you brought up the idea of a holy war because I I had that exact thing in
mind when I put this clip up and we can almost play a little game is he
talking about Iran or is he talking about Hexeth the the hand layers Trump's
personal religious advisor who if you've seen some clips of her let's just say is
a little bit unusual and all the Armageddonists that are talking about
in the military saying we've got to do this war for the end of time here's
here's here's Rubio talking about religious extremists you might want
to put it in here what Rubio says you you won't want to miss and it's
quite short these people are lunatics they are insane they are religious
zealots who can never be allowed to possess a nuclear weapon because they
have an apocalyptic vision of the future and all their neighbors know that by
the way which is why all of their neighbors have been supportive of the
efforts you they're religious zealots who have an apocalyptic vision of the
future upside down something exactly like Hexeth and his crew so but
anyway let's go to that next one dr. Paul because it is an important article
and it's about our privacy we've talked a lot about Iran but we do need to
cover this FBI director defends wholesale unconstitutional purchase of
Americans big tech data and that's a big deal and I know you've done a lot of
reading on this this is a a recent hearing in the Senate with Senator
Wyden and director of the FBI cash Patel well there was a good hearing and
they had Patel there but Ron Wyden a friend that we could work with and he's
considered a liberal Democrat but he's he's good on foreign policy and civil
liberty yes and Patel was run over the coals by a few of them and Patel you
know got himself into a hole and Patel says the FBI that he's trying to
explain himself why they take this information which Ron Wyden pointed out
is I'd I'd constitutionalist against the law to take this particular information
and and Wyden said you're saying that the agency will buy Americans location
data from the big tech companies and under the under the conditions he really
did but he had an explanation he's the FBI uses all the tools they can
get senator you thank you for the question because what we want to do is
to fulfill our mission and you know and then he was more or less saying any way
we can the mission is top dog the mission is sacred we're going to do that
and there's no no respect for law and order and honesty and limited
government personal liberty honest money none of that and it's it's it's sad
that it was right up there but Ron Wyden what did us all favor there and he did
get a little bit of coverage on this so and that that to me is such a tragedy
and also the reason why I think partisanship isn't working very well
and it but at bipartisanship doesn't work so well either the the
coalition has to be different than coming together with a couple issues
and pretending that they're you know democracy is the answer just vote and
take the middle of the road which I think is a danger and they the dog the
democracy should be that people could come together and have coalition we've
always dreamed of the day where we would have more support right now being
frustrated with some of the Democrats are they good conservatives when they're
power now they spend maybe more than the Democrats and what about the
Democrat when they when they have power and their movement there they were
anti-war and even when the Democrats were in charge back in the Vietnam war
that they had the reputation of being against the war but now now you can't
you can't depend on it but you can bring people together we've done it
we'll see it at our conferences we bring people together that are just
really frustrated and they have a brain and they could look at this and say you
know it's a lot bigger and clear it's a lot simpler than it is just looking at
bringing people together with basic principles of humanity and you know
civil liberties because if you have if you take take a position where you
can't everything is voluntary you don't have any of this time
volunteerism between individuals between business partners businesses and
customers part and volunteerism between countries volunteerism means both sides
agree on everything that they do and they go about their way yeah but we're
long way from that it's always intimidation force and use of bombs
and put on sanctions threats and intimidation and that system is coming
to an end and it's dangerous because but there's still a lot of people say
well solution is more government more and more people are saying no we get
promised that all the time and they don't come through yeah absolutely well
I want to sort of close out in a way with a video short video it's a little
longer than usual but the reason I want to do this Dr. Paul is because this is
an announcement of yet another speaker to our conference now we have some high
profile people that everyone's looking forward to listening to but this next
speaker is someone that we have known for a long time who has been an academic
and a scholar for a long time and who has also done some absolutely really
important research on why people commit terrorism on how people behave when
they're defending their own territory at the very beginning of this war this
individual professor Robert Paypat you know Richard Chicago he outlined the
different stages that he saw this war going through this is before the bomb
started falling and he's been right the entire time so let's watch a little bit
of a clip of this and let's just call it a taste of what you're going to get if
you go to our conference in just a couple weeks time which is stage three
is the ground operations those Marines are moving the 82nd Airborne is
preparing and this would be stage three this is the threshold of stage
three they're not there yet it'll be another 10 days 14 days before these
beginning forces are in place so in that period of time we're going to see a
lot of back and forth I'm hoping we'll find a way out so we don't cross
stage three but if we cross stage three politics will change again this
isn't just about military action when those Marines get the beaches many
will die when they die many who are Trump supporters will double down their
support they won't want to leave the they don't want to say they these people
died for us and now we're going to abandon them so you think we're just
a couple of weeks away from stage three that I think we're a couple of
weeks away from the beginning of stage three which I always said again I
published all three stages before the first mom felt I always said
stage three would be quote limited territorial control it would involve
the Marines maybe some airborne what would happen is there would be coastal
areas maybe we're going to go into some of the nuclear sites I laid all this
out the days before the bombing and that is now what we are seeing quote
preparing for the problem here is these preparations may well become
realities because it's going to be very difficult to walk away and leave Iran
in control of that much power okay we can there we go that's uh this is brilliant
maybe that's the reason I felt good about hearing that and one of the reasons
that you and I admired him way back in the middle east war was going on
because he was one that came out and vocally you know said that we were on the
right track yeah but we we really appreciate his intellect his willingness
and his willingness to work with us and he's I'm sure glad to hear
him come out come out he's everywhere now that I mean that's why I want to
get in touch and he's everywhere he's being interviewed everywhere
everything he said has been proven right and the thing I love about
Professor Pape is I have no idea whether he's a lefty or a righty or
anything that's good yeah that's good you can't pick him because he just
focuses on the issues and so you're going to want to get those tickets I do
have a link there uh at the bottom I will let you know because I know this is
going to happen I warned you at the beginning if you put that last clip on
yeah I know we have to go um but we're getting close to uh an area where we
have to think about the tickets selling out and we're in discussions with the
venue to talk about getting a little bit more space if there is any
available um but it's going to happen if you don't get your tickets now
there are going to be people who are going to email me or something and they're
going to be disappointed that they can't make it because there aren't any
tickets I promise you that will happen so don't wait get them now uh so you
don't have to worry about scurrying around and grabbing those tickets uh
again the uh I did put the links in uh we're getting up
very very close so go ahead and get those and we'll see you in a couple
weeks so very good I want to thank all our
viewers for tuning in today and looking forward to
seeing a lot of you at our conference because we do look forward to it and
it's one of the vehicles we use to compete with the people with all the
bucks they need in the world because we will have a grand turnout and we're
going to have a good time at it because we will do our every bit
best to speak the truth to people and that's what the people want to hear
today so please consider coming on the 25th of
April and uh we'll happily meet you there and we'll all have a good time and
thank you for tuning in today to the Liberty Report please come back soon
