12th Hearing - Domestic Monetary Policy & Technology (6/28/2012)

June 28th, 2012

On Thursday afternoon, Ron Paul chaired the 12th meeting of the House Financial Services subcommittee on Domestic Monetary Policy and Technology in the Rayburn House Office Building. This hearing, entitled: “Fractional Reserve Banking and the Federal Reserve: The Economic Consequences of High-Powered Money”, really gets at the heart of the bankocracy that rules present-day America. The subcommittee called three witnesses in to testify: Dr. John Cochran (Professor of Economics - Metropolitan State College of Denver), Dr. Joseph Salerno (Professor of Economics - Pace University), and Dr. Lawrence H. White (Professor of Economics - George Mason University). Would anyone be surprised that the Congress-critters (and the Democrats in particular) aren't too interested in learning about / debating fractional reserve banking?

Rep. Ron Paul on NewsRadio 740 KTRH’s The Michael Berry Show (6/28/2012)

June 28th, 2012

Moments after SCOTUS' shocking ruling on Obamacare was announced, Texas congressman and presidential candidate Dr. Ron Paul appeared on the Michael Berry Show to discuss the mandate and how Texas should respond.  ICYMI- the justices said that while Congress did overreach in part with the individual mandate -- the requirement that most Americans buy health insurance or pay a fine -- the provision is held constitutional as a tax!

Ron Paul on FNC’s Your World with Neil Cavuto (6/27/2012)

June 28th, 2012

Congressman Ron Paul joined Fox News' Neil Cavuto on the Wednesday edition of Your World, to talk about the Supreme Court's ruling on the constitutionality of Obamacare. Dr. Paul made the case that the only way to improve the cost and access to healthcare is to allow people to opt out of government medicine. If you have been following the podcast the last several months, you'll recall that the Congressman predicted  just such a ruling- that would leave significant parts of the program in tact. The man knows what he's talking about!

Texas Straight Talk: Government is Already Too Involved in Healthcare (6/25/2012)

June 26th, 2012

In this week's Texas Straight Talk update, Rep. Ron Paul talks about the Supreme Court's coming decision regarding the Constitutionality of Obamacare. The government is already waist deep into the healthcare business, and the results have been predictable: higher priced, lower quality care. Rather than slide into European socialism, how about we get the federal government out of healthcare? Video compliments of YouTube User: RonPaul2008dotcom.

Ron Paul speaks about Syria Intervention on House Floor (6/19/2012)

June 19th, 2012

On Tuesday morning, Congressman Ron Paul addressed the House of Representatives with a floor speech regarding the propaganda being fed to the Congress regarding the Syrian government. It appears as if the decision has been made to go for regime change once again, as the US government uses militant Islamists by proxy to stir up trouble in Damascus. Why does the US government so hate secular Middle-Eastern regimes? Moreover, why won't the US government mind its own business? The Congressman's remarks are entitled "When Will We Attack Syria?", the written text of which can be found on Dr. Paul's congressional website. Video compliments of YouTube User: CongressmanRonPaul.

June 19th, 2012

In this week's Texas Straight Talk update, Congressman Ron Paul addresses the rapid rate at which the federal government and domestic law enforcement agencies are rolling out unmanned aerial vehicles to be used against the American people.

Ron Paul Weekly Update - June 9th thru June 15th

June 16th, 2012

It seems that the recent firestorm has started to cool down a bit in the last several days, as Ron Paul has finally addressed his supporters and Rand Paul has more thoroughly explained himself. But the episode has shown us that the movement is not of one mind, and certainly has the ability to fracture quickly. At least three ideological groups are quickly visible: those who understand Rand Paul's decision to endorse Mittens (as an attempt to establish the liberty movement as a significant wing of the GOP), those who view the system as so inherently corrupt that any (even superficial) compromise is a sellout, and those who denounce Rand Paul as a statist / neocon outright (largely because he clearly advocates for some, limited government). Ron Paul's virtual silence for the past six weeks had been disturbing for several reasons- not the least of which was the fact that everyone assumed that he had coordinated with Rand's decision to endorse the Rom-inee. By all accounts, that appears to have been untrue- but Rand was clearly waiting for the word from his dad so that the endorsement could be made. Who knows what will go down in Tampa? Links to the original media sources are included in the file description, included audio can be heard in the order listed below:

Senator Rand Paul Responds to Endorsement Critics

June 15th, 2012

Ron Paul still remains silent about the campaign and why things were done the way they were, but Rand Paul has come out swinging in defense of his decision to endorse Mitt Romney. The Senator has a bad habit of pointing out abhorrent behavior (or language on certain message boards) and smearing all of his critics with the actions of others. Dr. Paul's prickly response was perhaps not what the movement was interested in hearing, but in reality, the endorsement is one of the most ceremonial of gestures. Sen. Paul continues to stick his neck out for the cause of liberty on a constant basis, and the included interviews in this file remind us of some of the important work he is doing. Links to the original media sources are included in the file description, included audio can be heard in the order listed below:

Ron Paul 2012 - Campaign Related Talk Radio

June 12th, 2012

Don't listen to this audio if you are averse to hearing criticism of Ron Paul, his son, and his campaign staff. This file contains a block of Ron Paul related talk radio- particularly concerning the campaign developments of the last week. All the supporters are trying to figure out what happened with all those hard earned delegates and the anticipated fight in Tampa? What happened to the $500k that the campaign raised on the May 17th moneybomb? Where the hell is Ron Paul, and how come he won't formally address his supporters (outside of the occasional email)? What in Mittens Romney's political career suggests that the man's word is trustworthy? Is Rand Paul just another Republican politician? Are we all just overreacting to a campaign that fought long and hard, but came up short? I want some answers- but all we really have now is speculation. Links to the original media sources are included in the file description, included audio can be heard in the order listed below:

(0:00) Rand Paul: Don't Join The Dark Side! Alex Jones breaks down the campaign developments and takes calls from frustrated Paul supporters. Video compliments of YouTube User: TheAlexJonesChannel (Part 1 and Part 2). (6/8)

Texas Straight Talk: The CBO Sees the Economic Cliff Ahead (6/11/2012)

June 12th, 2012

In this week's Texas Straight Talk update, Ron Paul comments on the Congressional Budget Office's pessimistic outlook for the nation's economy.  Pessimistic as it may seem to the media types, those who actually know a thing about economics will tell you that the CBO works off of fudged government numbers in the first place! The truth about the "fragile economic recovery" is almost certainly much worse than the CBO figures purport to explain. Video compliments of YouTube User: RonPaulcom.

Ron Paul Concedes Nomination, Rand Paul Endorses Mitt Romney - Supporters React

June 11th, 2012

We all knew that it would take an extraordinary set of circumstances for Ron Paul to become the next President of the Unites States, but it's a shame that the campaign has to end like this. I'm concerned that the way the campaign has operated in the last several months, and the subsequent endorsement of Mitt Romney by Rand Paul, could potentially undermine Dr. Paul's legacy (and our movement's cohesion)  in the future. All kinds of theories have been put forth over the last few days to try and explain how we got to this point. This audio file contains additional coverage of the Rand Paul endorsement and the current state of the movement, along with commentary from many different voices affiliated with the r3VOLution. Some are being way too harsh in their critique of the situation- using words like "sellout" or "betrayal." The situation is only exacerbated by Dr. Paul's virtual silence over the coarse of the last month, and the campaign's poor communication with their supporters. We all want answers, and I'll continue to update the podcast as long as financially possible.

Ron Paul Weekly Update - June 2nd thru June 8th

June 9th, 2012

Well, no one can claim that this week wasn't eventful for the Ron Paul 2012 campaign and the liberty movement, writ large! Ron Paul returned to the public eye, but only briefly before he formally conceded (in an email archived at The Daily Paul) the nomination to Governor Romney. Then, in a stomach-turning development, on Thursday evening Senator Rand Paul came out on FNC's Hannity (of all possible venues) to throw his political capital behind Mittens! For all practical purposes- it's over. Due to the campaign's bizarre radio silence over the last month, many were led to believe that there was a master plan in place, taking place behind the scenes (Doug Wead made reference to tactics that couldn't be discussed). I love Ron Paul, but I refuse to delude myself: Dr. Paul will not win the Republican nomination, and he won't run 3rd party. These developments have stirred a lot of activists and supporters, who have donated large amounts of money and time. And for what? To play nice with Romney and the neocons? Emotions are high and answers are scarce, so I'm posting this update now, and I'll capture more reaction in the coming days. Links to the original media sources are included in the file description, included audio can be heard in the order listed below:

Ron Paul Addresses Supporters at the Texas Liberty Concert (6/7/2012)

June 7th, 2012

Following his speech at the Texas state convention on Thursday, Congressman Ron Paul made an appearance at the Texas Liberty Concert being held at The River Ranch in the Fort Worth Stockyards. Rep. Paul spoke to his loyal devotees about the coming fiscal crisis, the encroachment of big government, and the growth of the liberty movement over the last 5 years. It should be noted that Dr. Paul announces that he has been promised a vote on the Audit the Fed bill in July (audio begins at 5:13)! Perhaps that's been part of the deal to get the Congressman out of campaign mode since mid-May. Nevertheless, we can see that Dr. Paul's work in Washington over the last few weeks seems to have bore fruit! Video compliments of YouTube User: Prima Facia.

Texas Straight Talk: War Drums for Syria? (6/4/2012)

June 6th, 2012

In this week's Texas Straight Talk legislative update, Dr. Ron Paul warns the American people of the saber-rattling going on in Washington over the purported massacres being committed by the Syrian government. Are those being "massacred" in that country recipients of arms and funds supplied by elements of the United States government? The lines between grassroots pro-democracy forces and foreign mercenaries have been so blurred, the American citizen (let alone their elected representation) has no way to determine the truth of the situation on the ground in a far-away foreign land. Given the broad geopolitical reconstruction that has been carried out all over the world over the last 20 years (always in the name of humanitarianism), we would be fools to take the administration and the Pentagon on their word.

Ron Paul Weekly Update - May 26th thru June 1st

June 3rd, 2012

Another lean coverage week for the Ron Paul 2012 campaign, as the Congressman remains completely absent from the radio and television airwaves. Previously, there had been rumors that Dr. Paul would be attending the Washington state Republican convention to support activists there-- but apparently those plans were nixed. The vast majority of outlets still covering the campaign are alternative media sources and grassroots citizen journalists. Ben Swann continues to do a stellar job of separating fact from fiction, pointing out this week that Mittens Romney has not technically clinched the nomination (despite the MSM's coronation, and the candidates acceptance speech). This will be an important weekend in the hunt for delegates, as several states are in the midst of their state nominating conventions- particularly LA, MO, and WA. Hang in there rEVOLutionaries! Links to the original media sources are included in the file description, included audio can be heard in the order listed below:
