Ron Paul Liberty Report

As the House passed its budget resolution by a razor thin margin, all eyes are now on the Senate, which has promised to cut an additional $1.5 trillion before sending it back to the House for a final vote. Does anyone believe it? Also today, yet another Trump threat on Iran as a new poll shows the majority of Americans oppose Israel.

The Chinese government has vowed to not back down in the face of President Trump's ratcheting up of tariffs on a top US trading partner. With tariffs of 104 percent and 84 percent respectively, how far will this spat between the US and China go...and what can consumers expect? Also today, Netanyahu urges Trump to blow up all of Iran's nuclear facilities...it will be easy he claims.

President Trump casually mentioned that the U.S. will have its first TRILLION dollar military budget. This does not, in any sense, sound like a government looking to cut waste, fraud and abuse. We have been bankrupted (economically, and more importantly, morally) by a century of endless wars. The federal debt continues to rise, even with total Republican control. This is all bad news for our natio...

Weekly Update --- Liberation or Obliteration? by Ron Paul Liberty Report

Americans voted for lower inflation and a peace president, yet just months into Trump 2.0 we are seeing a tariff plan that is rocking world markets and an expanding - but losing - war on Yemen with the Administration about an inch away from starting yet another war, this time with Iran. What happened?

America has massive problems, which can be summed up in two words -- overwhelming government. Despite some impressive exposures from DOGE, our chief problem is being exacerbated. Government spending is increasing, government debt is increasing, President Trump threatens new wars, and now we're in the midst of a trade war. The troops are not coming home, the 1,000 bases are not being closed, and th...

President Trump unveiled his new tariff policy yesterday, sending markets reeling. Meanwhile, it appears his administration is gearing up for a real war on Iran. Is the honeymoon over?

Voters in Wisconsin have agreed to a state constitutional amendment requiring a photo ID to cast a ballot, strengthening existing law. Also today, bipartisan team of Senators send letter to Trump on Yemen bombing.

Ron Paul Institute Conference - Lake Jackson, TX - Fmr. Rep. John J. Duncan, Jr. by Ron Paul Liberty Report

President Trump has gutted the US government funded US Institute of Peace after a scuffle between staff members and Elon Musk's Department of Government Efficiency, making it more likely that the misnamed government funded "NGO" will follow USAID into the dustbin of history. Also today, a US judge has blocked Trump from firing CIA's DEI staff.

Ron Paul Institute Conference - Lake Jackson, TX - Jeff Deist by Ron Paul Liberty Report

That didn't take long. A candidate elected to end current wars and avoid new ones, Donald Trump as president has significantly escalated the war on Yemen and is now threatening to attack Iran. He is also threatening Russia (again) with punitive tariffs. What is it about the White House that turns every resident into a warmonger?

Ron Paul Institute Conference - Lake Jackson, TX - Chris Rossini & David Stockman by Ron Paul Liberty Report

Tariffs are very risky business. They're like playing with fire. We run into the same unsolvable problem that we have with The Fed. They don't know what interest rates should be. It's all arbitrary. In the same way, the president doesn't know what the price of cars, or lumber, or any other product should be. While the president is not literally price-fixing like the Fed, he is arbitrarily interfer...

President Trump announced earlier in his second term that foreign students who engaged in illegal activity would be deported. Most people agreed with the policy. But then his Department of Homeland Security began showing up with masks on and in plainclothes to arrest and deport legal foreign students who broke no law but held views the Administration doesn't like. This is a slippery slope that wil...

The US Intelligence Community’s 2003 assessment that Iran is not pursuing a nuclear weapon was reaffirmed this week, even as the Trump Administration is moving military assets into the area. What gives? Also today: shut down NPR? Please!

Weekly Update --- Shut Down the Department of Education! by Ron Paul Liberty Report

In one of the most bizarre foul-ups (or was it?) of all time, Trump National Security Advisor Mike Waltz invited The Atlantic's editor-in-chief into a Signal discussion group (!) where the Admin's attack on Yemen was being planned. What if it was no leak at all and instead a "pro-war psy-op"? With secure communications equipment available to the Administration...why did they discuss apparently hig...

President Trump announced a 25 percent across-the-board tariff on any country that purchases oil from Venezuela - but who will really be paying for the additional cost? Also today, US/Russia talks begin again in Saudi Arabia. Will the US take control of Ukraine's power plants?

We hope you enjoy this flashback episode of the Liberty Report!

U.S. District Judge Theodore Chuang has ruled that Elon Musk's role as DOGE enforcer may be unconstitutional, ordering that he “shall not take any action, or engage in any work, relating to the shutdown of USAID.” Is the deep state pushing back? Also today, say it aint so, Tulsi. Finally: Sports diplomacy for the win.
