The Ron Paul Liberty Report

A UK High Court delivered a mixed bag to Julian Assange and his family earlier today, holding off on ruling for the deportation subject to US "reassurances." But the court rejected key elements of Assange's appeal. We'll break it down today. Also in the program: FDA surrenders in its propaganda war against Ivermectin. Finally: Trump's surprising straight talk on Israel and Gaza.

A last minute "stay" of ten days was granted to former President Donald Trump in his half-billion dollar "fraud" case, meaning he must come up with $175 million within ten days or the state would begin seizing his assets. Also today: Speaker Johnson invites Netanyahu to address Congress and...who attacked Moscow?

What kind of country allows itself to be invaded? A vast majority of what the federal government does, it should not be doing. It’s almost all unconstitutional. But they ignore the constitution and do it anyway. The federal government does have a job that it actually does have to do - protect the border - and it fails miserably at it. Our entire nation suffers as a result. Invaders are now squatters in our houses? That’s the severity of the failure that we’re now experiencing.

The Wall Street Journal reported yesterday that a deal was being discussed between Wikileaks founder Julian Assange's legal team and the US Department of Justice that might result in a plea to lesser charges. Good idea? Also today: New York is nuts - squatters have more rights than homeowners! Finally: Say it ain't so, Trump - new speculation about his top cabinet picks should terrify us.

The Republican-led House Foreign Affairs Committee yesterday held another hearing yesterday on the disastrous US withdrawal from Afghanistan in 2021. Of all the finger-pointing and blame-sharing, one thing is never asked: why was the US in Afghanistan in the first place? Why is it so easy to get into wars but nearly impossible to get out? Also today...can Texas protect its borders...or not?

Sen. Lindsey Graham traveled (again) to Ukraine to try and whip up more war fever. This time he scolded the Ukrainian government for not conscripting younger kids to die in the US proxy war with Russia. Also today: Europeans are quitting the military in high numbers. A return to the draft is in the works in many countries. Finally: Israel has a new plan to steal more Gaza land...

A disturbing report from the Government Accountability Office shows that 70 percent - and maybe more - of the outrageously expensive, over-budget F-35 fighter jets are not capable of conducting combat. Yet Washington continues to rattle sabers at Russia and China. Also today: Pentagon not bothering to track weapons sent to Ukraine, and US considering MORE military aid to Israel as "incentive" for lower civilian casualties...

The government cannot protect our freedom by taking away our freedom. It cannot shield us from harm (real or imagined) by censoring the truth and ripping away our privacy. It cannot “battle” communists by acting just like the communists. It cannot protect us from corporate fraud by mandating the use of their fraudulent products. The government is supposed to follow the law, which is the U.S. Constitution, not ignore it and give it lip service only when it's politically convenient. The Bill of Rights is not a joke. Those rights precede the government itself, and do not come from them. The primary job of every good citizen is make sure that those rights remain uninhibited.

Yesterday's House vote to either force the sale of Tik Tok or ban it entirely from the US is the most dangerous and anti-American act since the passage of the PATRIOT Act. The law will give the US president SOLE AUTHORITY to determine which businesses can and cannot operate in the United States. It is a full government takeover of our basic liberties.

Four years ago this week the manipulators in "public health," government, academia, and the media launched a totalitarian idea that had never been seen before in the "free world" - they called it "15 days to slow the spread," but we know it as virus tyranny. A psychosis. New York Times Bestselling author Tom Woods joins today's Liberty Report to discuss his new book about this dark chapter in US history, "Diary of a Psychosis: How Public Health Disgraced Itself During COVID Mania."

The Pentagon is doing a Zelensky - begging for money because it has shipped all its weapons to Ukraine. Whose idea was it to send weapons we need to Ukraine? Also today, Poland's neocon foreign minister confirms there are NATO troops already in Ukraine.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has brushed off President Biden's warning that attacking Rafah - with a huge concentration of Palestinian civilians - would be a "red line" for the US. He has vowed to attack anyway, defying his prime supplier of money and bombs. Also today: Will the US government actually BAN a social media platform?

A new bill in the California state assembly would qualify individuals illegally in the country for zero-down, zero interest home loans. Does it seem like a good idea? Also today: How did Biden do in the State of the Union address?

Yemen is not going as promised. After weeks of US and UK bombing, the Red Sea is still effectively off-limits to US and UK shipping and to all shipping to and from Israel. Yemen's Houthis announced the policy in protest of Israel's slaughter in Gaza. Recently the Pentagon blamed the CIA for the failed Yemen policy, claiming they were lacking in intelligence. Also today: Fatal flaw in Ukraine war and Daniel Hale is out of jail.

Uber warhawk Nikki is out of the race for the Republican nomination, after a dismal performance that saw wins in only DC and Vermont. We'll tell you why this is good news for the antiwar movement. Also today: new poll shows American support for Israel is plummeting among the youth. Finally...more bad news for Biden.

The neocon behind the 10 year war in Ukraine, State Department #3 "diplomat" Victoria Nuland, suddenly announced her retirement from the US diplomatic corps. What does she know that we don't know? Also today, Marco Rubio's bloody cynicism on Ukraine war. Finally - will "Super Tuesday" finally nudge Neocon Nikki to pull out of the race?

The recent intercepted conversation between senior German military officials, discussing Taurus missile strikes inside of Russia and including the Kerch bridge, has exposed NATO's central role in the Ukraine conflict. And it has taken us further toward WWII. Also today: Why are we airdropping meals in Gaze while airdropping weapons to Israel to kill the people eating the meals? And a word on the Supremes' ruling on Trump.

Listen to Ron Paul's excellent lecture on the Federal Reserve, delivered to staffers and guests on Capitol Hill in 2012.

What do the foreign policy "experts" do when their policies aren't working? They demand MOAR! of the same, of course. So it is that two failed years of Western sanctions are met with demands to do more of what is not working. Also today, Rep. Massie warns us about the upcoming stopgap budget deal. Finally...let's check in on how that war on the Houthis is going...

French President Emmanuel Macron surprised European NATO members earlier this week by stating that it may be necessary to send NATO troops into Ukraine to fight Russia on a "bipartisan" basis. His European counterparts for the most part recoiled at the suggestion, with speculation about WWIII. Also today: Surprising poll on Gaza.

Years before becoming president, Joe Biden made clear his views on migrants, saying "It’s not going to stop. Nor should we want it to stop." What were once waves of illegal immigrants, have now turned into a tsunami. What has Biden done?

In the latest illegal immigration boondoggle, the mayor of New York City adopted a program to give each illegal immigrant family a debit card worth $10,000. Refillable. And he awarded a "minority-owned" company a no-bid contract worth $53 million to carry out the policy...Also today: Neocons bust Ukraine "myths."

Who benefits from the death of Russian politician Alexei Navalny? Could he have been "pushed" by western intelligence services? Also today: Stung by losses in Ukraine, the EU declares war on...the Houthis! Finally - Pelosi in a time warp.

As Wikileaks founder and publisher Julian Assange makes one final appeal before UK judges to avoid being extradited to the US to face 175 years in prison, press freedom advocates worldwide call on the governments of the US and UK to cease the years-long persecution. Journalism itself is on trial. What to expect? Also today: Trump 2.0 a "Christian nationalist" Administration? Also - Is it really "white supremacism" to like reading?

The usual suspects have decided that Russian president Putin had "dissident" Alexei Navalny killed in prison. Neocons in the US are demanding money for Ukraine because of it. But who is he? Also today: New poll shows most Americans want Ukraine war to be over.
