Politics of Freedom Update - June 8th thru June 14th
June 16th, 2013
Ron Paul made waves this week, being among the very first voices to support NSA leaker Edward Snowden and openly admitting his concern for the whistleblower’s life. Senator Rand Paul did not let us down, either, spearheading a call for legal action against the National Security Agency. Snowden’s revelations aren’t a surprise to any of us who are familiar with the nature of the modern national security state. In fact, the media has built a convenient straw-man for the public to debate with the government’s 100 million Verizon subscriber general warrant- ostensibly an extraordinary measure taken in the days immediately after the Boston bombing. The corporate media is admittedly self-censoring in consultation with the federal government. It's been nice to have such a nice excess of audio to choose from for once!

Politics of Freedom Update - June 1st thru June 7th
June 11th, 2013
There still isn't much going on on the Ron Paul front, but there's always developments regarding the Politics of Freedom. The scandals continue to mount in Washington, as Americans are beginning to realize that their government isn't just dysfunctional, but criminal! The latest NSA spying revelations- thanks to Ron Paul supporting whistle-blower Edward Snowden- are only the tip of the iceberg. But they prove the credibility that Ron Paul has deserved all along for his skepticism of government and the larger national security state/military-industrial complex. Rand Paul and the rest of the liberty movement must be able to capitalize upon this, politically. It is time that real transparency (not PR for public consumption), government reform and anti-corruption measures become the priority for all Americans- left, right and center. Meanwhile, the annual Bilderberg group meeting convened in northwest suburban London, England. Much continues to be made about Paypal founder and Bilderberg member Peter Theil's support for the 2012 campaign- as if this one man compromised the entire operation! Links to the original media sources are included in the file description; included audio can be heard in the order listed below:

Politics of Freedom Update - May 18th thru May 24th
May 29th, 2013
I hope that those of you who continue to subscribe still continue to enjoy the audio I am able to find and post. It is getting harder most of the time to find Ron Paul related audio to post, despite that he has regular speaking engagements and several active organizations in the works. As a result, the weekly update is heavier on Rand Paul audio coverage than I'd prefer- given that the Senator has his own weekly interview, speech and media coverage update that I post. I haven't seen any broadcast interview with Dr. Paul for about three weeks, and the man hasn't been on tv for about a month! In the meantime, I always do my best to follow the news of the day, featuring voices relevant to the liberty movement. Luckily, Reps Amash and Massie continue to impress (although the Western Michigan media market isn't particularly robust). Links to the original media sources are included in the file description; included audio can be heard in the order listed below:

Politics of Freedom Update - May 11th thru May 17th
May 19th, 2013
There's certainly no shortage of news to cover, given the recent emergence of the Obamagate scandals. However, it's certainly notable that one of the government's fiercest critics- one Dr. Ron Paul- has received no airtime (that I could find) to voice his opinions on the matter. On the other hand, Senator Paul is one of the primary respondents to media inquiries requiring a Republican reaction- and this isn't likely to change going into 2016. Ron Paul traveled to New York City this past week, to keynote at the 2013 Metals & Minerals Conference. Unfortunately, there's no video of the speech yet- I guess when speakers get paid $50k+ to address a gathering, their reps aren't amenable to allowing amateur video to show up on YouTube. Given that Dr. Paul is in the post-electoral stage of his life, it shouldn't surprise us that broadcast media coverage of his endeavors become harder to find. Therefore, some of the clips are of an overly critical nature, that I wouldn't otherwise post. But this podcast has always been about laying out the coverage, and letting you make up your own minds.

Politics of Freedom Update - May 5th thru May 10th
May 14th, 2013
While Ron Paul has hit a temporary lull in his travel schedule, his former staffers and other colleagues continue to fan out and promote various aspects of the liberty message. When taking into consideration Ron Paul's America, the Campaign for Liberty/Young Americans for Liberty, the establishment of the Ron Paul Institute for Peace and Prosperity, the Homeschool curriculum, and all of the Ron Paul inspired pundits, politicians and academics- the message that the former Congressman spent the last 30 years trying to disseminate is now exponentially more widely circulated. This update is quite a compendium of the many voices who continue to labor for the cause, and will most likely do so many years after Dr. Ron Paul is gone. As a result, both liberals and neocons are back at it trying to smear the doctors name and discredit his distinguished service. Other clips follow the news of the day in voices from the broader liberty movement.

Politics of Freedom Update - April 27th thru May 4th
May 5th, 2013
In his criticism of the police state lockdown in Boston following the bombing there, Dr. Ron Paul pissed off all of the uniform worshipers and advocates of state power last week. As you'll hear in the attached audio file, MSNBC advanced the line that there was no lockdown, there were not heavily armed paramilitary police pointing weapons at people and there were no armored personnel carriers ("tanks") on the scene. Actual investigative reporting from the streets of Boston would prove otherwise (as you'll hear as well). This tragedy has shown that the Democrat Party has no fundamental opposition to living in a police state; at least, not when their guy is in charge.

Politics of Freedom Update - April 20th thru April 26th
April 30th, 2013
Unfortunately, I have to work every other weekend- so the Politics of Freedom and Rand Paul 2016 Watch updates will come a few days later every other week. Ron Paul is no longer seeking elected office, but that doesn't mean that the media smear machine won't be on the offensive. Both the neocons and the liberals have been on the attack following the opening of the Ron Paul Institute for Peace and Prosperity, in the hope that their slander will help pull down Senator Rand Paul's ambitions for the highest office in the land. Dr. Ron Paul has been in the news making several endorsements in the past week, including Rep. Paul Broun (R-GA) and former Gov. Mark Sanford (R-SC) for the Congress. I haven't known to what extent to cover the tragic Boston marathon bombings last week, as there are many theories and the official story makes little sense. I tried to post some analysis of the attack this week from people with the liberty perspective. Sen. Rand Paul stepped in it this week, making statements that appeared to be in support of armed drones. However, the examples the Senator used were the same that he's been using since the filibuster in March. Dr. Ron Paul believes that the statements were used to try and form a wedge between Ron and Rand's supporters. Links to the original media sources are included in the file description; included audio can be heard in the order listed below:

Rand Paul 2016 Watch - April 15th thru April 21st
April 21st, 2013
Rand Paul returned to doing his customary media rounds last week following a few weeks of incredible headline-making. The Senator continued to defend his much maligned speech to the African-American student of Howard University and weighed in on hot-topic issues of the day like gun control, immigration, the Boston Marathon bombing and more. Sen. Paul rightly called out President Obama for blatantly exploiting the deaths of the Sandy Hook children for political gain, and using the parents of the deceased kids as stage props for a gun control agenda. Remember: never let a good crisis go to waste! Links to the original media sources are included in the file description; included audio can be heard in the order listed below:

Politics of Freedom Update - April 13th thru April 20th
April 20th, 2013
Following the release of his new homeschooling curriculum last week, Ron Paul continued to make news by launching his Institute for Peace and Prosperity. This is an interesting development, as it confirms that core of Dr. Paul's political organizations (Campaign for Liberty and Young Americans for Liberty) will not focus on foreign policy issues. This was reaffirmed by Rand's conspicuous absence from the Ron Paul Institute's opening press conference- an outrage to the revolution! Regardless, I would have assumed a wave of interviews and media coverage would follow Dr. Paul's recent initiatives, but the media has failed once again. Even most of the reliable allies of the liberty movement have seemingly dropped the ball on the importance of the Ron Paul Curriculum and the Ron Paul Institute for Peace on Prosperity! Likewise, I haven't found any broadcast coverage of the former Congressman's speeches at the U. of Florida, Brown University or the GOP Dinner in Knoxville. Very disappointing.

Politics of Freedom Update - April 6th thru April 12th
April 16th, 2013
Last week was another busy one for the Doctors Paul, as both the father and the son were on the road promoting liberty to youth constituencies at universities across the country. Having just spoke at the Midwest Homeschool Convention in Cincinnati, former Rep. Ron Paul spoke at Oberlin College outside of Cleveland, OH and took a detour to join his friend Rep. John Duncan at a fundraiser in Knoxville. Sen. Rand Paul brought the libertarian Republican brand to two historically black colleges; namely, Howard University in Washington DC and Simmons College in Louisville. Bust most importantly, Dr. Paul announced the advent of the Ron Paul Curriculum for homeschooling parents and their children along with the creation of the Ron Paul Institute for Peace and Prosperity. Ron's ideas will clearly continue on long after his time on earth is over! Links to the original media sources are included in the file description; included audio can be heard in the order listed below:

Politics of Freedom Update - March 30th thru April 5th
April 7th, 2013
Dr. Ron Paul's itinerary has really began to fill up after a couple of months of rest. The Congressman's radio minute is airing in markets across the country, and he now has several more dates scheduled on university campuses over the next several weeks. Over the last few weeks, the honorary chairman of the Campaign for Liberty has spoke at George Washington University, at the Manning Conference in Ottawa, at Financial Adviser Magazine's Retirement Symposium in Orlando, at the Sovereign Man Conference in Santiago, Chile, the CAL summit in Calgary, and now at the Homeschooling Convention in Cincinnati. Now, Rep. Paul has never gotten the media coverage he has deserved. Unfortunately, he receives even less press now that he is no longer running for President and has retired from the Congress! I haven't had nearly the amount of Ron Paul coverage that I had hoped to post for you all. Luckily, Rand Paul has been a fixture in the headlines, and Reps. Amash and Massie are really worth listening to. Additionally, I will continue to post news analysis and commentary from voices that are prominent to the liberty movement. Links to the original media sources are included in the file description; included audio can be heard in the order listed below:

Politics of Freedom Update - March 23rd thru March 29th
April 2nd, 2013
Sorry for the delay, but here's a huge chunk of audio for your listening pleasure. Unfortunately, its getting harder and harder to find Ron Paul specific news, even when he's out and about speaking to crowds. Very little multimedia of Dr. Paul's speaking engagements have been available since the man signed on with the Greater Talent Network, and there must be a no video policy in place. On Saturday, the former Congressman spoke at the Sovereign Man conference in Santiago, Chile- and no video of this speech seems to exist as of yet. Sen. Rand Paul continues to make waves in the aftermath of his CPAC straw poll victory, and yet snipers continue to come out of the woodwork to bash the Senator.

Politics of Freedom Update - March 16th thru March 22nd
March 23rd, 2013
Another week of liberty-related news for all the subscribers out there. Senator Rand Paul is coming off of his first victory in the CPAC straw-poll- showing that he has, in fact, taken over the liberty wing of the Republican Party. This week also marked the 10 year anniversary of the Iraq War, which so many of us supported at one time in our ignorance. The question is, does the average Republican voter recognize the colossal failure of the Bush administration's preemptive regime change policy? Ron Paul's America was scheduled to begin airing on stations across the country this week, though I haven't yet seen or heard any confirmation that the radio minutes have been played anywhere. I will certainly post any info that I come across. Links to the original media sources are included in the file description; included audio can be heard in the order listed below:

Politics of Freedom Update - March 9th thru March 15th
March 16th, 2013
Congressman Ron Paul finished up his participation in Preston Manning's conservative conference up in Canada, just in time for the CPAC 2013 festivities. While the former Congressman did not attend, Sen. Rand Paul rocked the house for all the youth in the liberty wing of the Republican Party. I'll begin this podcast with some additional analysis of the historic drone filibuster, from other voices around the broader liberty movement. I also came across some great audio from people looking back at the Ron Paul revolution, and where it's stands today. We'll also hear from Congressman Justin Amash, who is being floated for a run for the US Senate, and Congressman Thomas Massie. Enjoy!

Politics of Freedom Update - March 2nd thru March 8th
March 9th, 2013
The major news this week was Senator Rand Paul's marathon filibuster on the floor of the Senate. This update will cover some of that, but there will be much more specific filibuster coverage to come. The automatic sequester 'cuts' finally went into effect this week, and yet the sky has not fallen! Yet, it seems clear that the administration intends to make the pain felt in very visible ways. Despite the cuts in the rate of government growth, the state continues to push aside the rights of the people at every opportunity. As like-minded patriots try and inform one another, the other side is still touting the threat of homegrown terrorists and anti-government extremists. On the Ron Paul front, Dr. Paul visited George Washington University on Monday (no audio/video available thus far) and had his first speaking engagement outside of the United States (at least as long as I have been doing this podcast) at the Manning Conference in Ottawa. Links to the original media sources are included in the file description; included audio can be heard in the order listed below:

Politics of Freedom Update - February 23rd thru March 1st
March 2nd, 2013
Ron Paul will be getting busy next week, as he more formally begins his spring speaking tour at George Washington University. As for this past week, the news and coverage update has alot more to do with other voices from the broader liberty movement. Pundits are beginning to realize that we all are going to need to come together to stem the tide of statism. A good portion of the conservative population has come a long way in the last few years. The "libertarian" brand is on the rise, as proven by Glenn Beck's growing media operation. But, this week's update is hereby dedicated to Congressman Walter Jones- a longtime friend of Dr. Ron Paul and a converted anti-war Republican. That man deserves his own podcast!

Politics of Freedom Update - February 16th thru February 22nd

In case you haven't been paying close attention, the Politics of Freedom update has replaced the Ron Paul Weekly Update now that the presidential campaign is long gone. This is a weekly audio roundup of all things Ron Paul, Rand Paul, Justin Amash, Thomas Massie and other leaders of the modern American liberty movement. Additionally, I try to follow the weeks biggest news and headlines and post commentary from a libertarian perspective. This week, fiscal matters remain in the headlines, as the President and Congress attempt to avert the upcoming sequester at the beginning of March. Civil libertarians of all stripes are up-in-arms about the US government's drone policies- as Sen. Paul attempts to force answers from the administration's nominee for CIA director, John Brennan. Ron Paul's schedule for the spring is starting to shape up, and it appears the doctor will be a busy man!

Politics of Freedom Update - February 9th thru February 15th
February 16th, 2013
While exciting plans have been announced in recent weeks regarding Dr. Ron Paul's post-Congressional plans, news of purported 'scandals' that would taint his legacy have received much more coverage. The most recent of which is his personal suit against the good folks at RonPaul.com- who desire to be paid for the domain. Unfortunately for the former Congressman, these disputes are now arbitrated by a group affiliated with the UN (which is bad PR, to say the least). I've included a handful of conversations about this controversy, so you can make up your own mind. Meanwhile, Rand Paul has been among the most prominent Republican newsmakers in the past week, following his foreign policy speech at the Heritage Foundation. The Senator has been seeing through the passage of legislation in Kentucky for the legalization of industrial hemp, resubmitted legislation to privatize the TSA and audit the Fed, and threatened to filibuster the nominations of both John Brennan and Chuck Hagel. Of course, this week included the state-glorifying State of the Union address, so I've included some coverage of that as well. Links to the original media sources are included in the file description; included audio can be heard in the order listed below:

Politics of Freedom Update - February 2nd to February 8th
February 9th, 2013
Despite an overall active news week for folks interested in the happenings of the liberty movement, most of the relevant media coverage is focused on Ron Paul's controversial tweet/Facebook post regarding the death of 'America's sniper' and self-proclaimed hero, Chris Kyle. Last Sunday, the former Congressman tweeted out a statement containing his familiar anti-war sentiment: "“Chris Kyle’s death seems to confirm that ‘he who lives by the sword dies by the sword.’ Treating PTSD at a firing range doesn’t make sense.” This statement has been roundly condemned by all of the usual suspects, who demand undying worship by all uniformed government workers (see radio diatribes by Mark Levin and Glenn Beck). I would argue that while the tweet was not the most tactful statement Dr. Paul ever made, it's no less tactful than the full press tour the former sniper made in promoting his book- which glorified the militarism of the modern American state and slandered fellow Navy SEAL and former Gov. Jesse Ventura. Rand Paul wasted no time, promptly putting out a statement refuting his dad and touting Kyle's heroism. This drama foreshadowed Sen. Paul's foreign policy lecture at The Heritage Foundation on Wednesday, during which he (depending on your perspective) either distinguished himself from his father or failed to do so. More audio to come on this. Links to the original media sources are included in the file description; included audio can be heard in the order listed below:

Politics of Freedom Update - January 26th to February 1st
February 2nd, 2013
As we await Ron Paul's 2013 campus tour and the announcement of his new media endeavor, we certainly have a lull in the news. However, Sen. Rand Paul is already right in the middle of 2016 speculation. Having just returned from Israel, the microscope will shift to the Senator's foreign policy views. Sen. Paul will be delivering a foreign policy speech at the Heritage Foundation next week, which (of course) I'll be posting here in its entirety. It's interesting how, no matter how hard Rand tries to reach out to the evangelical/social conservative-types, it seems they will always be skeptical of him. This podcast also includes some excellent interviews from Ron Paul staffers, now much more free to speak about policy and working with the great Dr. Ron Paul. Links to the original media sources are included in the file description; included audio can be heard in the order listed below:

Politics of Freedom Update - January 20th to January 26th
January 27th, 2013
I've got a huge 4 and one-half hour audio block for you this week. Perhaps too long? Anyway, this week President Obama was sworn in for his second term and the attack on the people's right to bear arms continued. But most notably, Senator Rand Paul had a few minutes to grill Secretary Hillary Clinton over the administration's debacle in Benghazi. The Senator then had the pleasure of speaking with John Kerry at the Senate Confirmation meeting for the next Secretary of State (not one of my favorite performances for Randy). Both confrontations were news makers, as it becomes even more clear that Sen. Paul will be a contender for the highest office in the land. The question is, can he possibly remain a champion for the liberty movement and bring the broader conservative coalition on board? Links to the original media sources are included in the file description; included audio can be heard in the order listed below:

Politics of Freedom Update - January 13th to January 19th
January 20th, 2013
PLEASE DONATE TODAY if you still enjoy this podcast and want it to continue! We have a pretty compelling week of news and coverage this week, in covering Ron Paul's liberty movement and the enemy's statist solutions to all Americas problems. There was an uptick in Ron Paul related media this week, as the former Congressman participated in several interviews and began his 2013 college campus tour. Liberty Republicans are trying to consolidate their gains in the many states after being smacked down by the RNC in Tampa. But the big news of the week has got to be the Obama administration's power grab against the 2nd amendment- implementing 23 executive orders by fiat.

Politics of Freedom Update - January 6th to January 12th
January 15th, 2013
2013 has only just begun, but it looks as if those of us who remain dedicated to limited, Constitutional government and against the state steamrolling over the rights of individuals will have quite a fight on our hands this year. Although there is little audio/video coverage of his plans (that I can post for you this week), word is starting to leak out about Dr. Paul's post-Congressional agenda- including a new campus tour, homeschooling advocacy and some kind of web-based media operation. In the meantime, Senator Paul (and to a lesser extent- his dad) has been strangely quiet about the raft of victim disarmament legislation being proposed in the Congress. One man who hasn't held his tongue is Alex Jones, who rhetorically ripped CNN's Piers Morgan (aka "Hatchet-man for the New World Order") a new one on national television. That interview is included here in its entirety, along with other 2nd amendment advocates who took turns verbally pummeling Piers Moron. Regardless of what one may think of Alex Jones- he is now the ultimate canary in the coal-mine for liberty lovers. The Obama government is extremely dangerous right now; it's actions denote a confidence that the 'liberals' and Democrat Party will not face a credible challenge from the GOP (or anyone else) in the foreseeable future. These tyrants are seeking to remove term limits so Lord Obama can maintain power past his second term AND they are openly promoting doing away with the Constitution, once and for all!

Politics of Freedom Update - December 22nd to January 5th
January 7th, 2013
Well- that's it: Ron Paul is no longer in the Congress, yet the battles for liberty go on. Over the last couple of weeks, the main battles have been against new calls for gun control/victim disarmament and the so-called "fiscal cliff" negotiations. The liberty movement continues to fight valiantly to consolidate their gains against the corrupt GOP establishment in the new year- with varying success across the country. Obviously, there has been very limited Ron Paul-related news and coverage over the last couple weeks- despite the fact that the man is retiring after 30 years! But it is beginning to look like there are more in the Congress who are willing to carry the torch for liberty than we thought! Links to the original media sources are included in the file description; included audio can be heard in the order listed below:
