Former presidential candidate and "Russiagate" hoax author Hillary Clinton inadvertently called for her own arrest and imprisonment this week, when she demanded that anyone spreading "misinformation" and "propaganda" be sent to jail. Also in today's program: A new report from Microsoft claims that "Russian troll farms" are interfering in our elections. Do you believe them after the last time turned out to be a lie?

Sweltering Texas Winds Paused
00:02:42
|
|
| 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 today. | |
| Good morning, Dr. Paul. | |
| How are you? | |
| I'm doing well. | |
| Did you have to swim over here today? | |
| Thankfully, I didn't. | |
| But I'll tell you what, last week was the longest week of my life. | |
| I probably have seen more hurricanes than you have. | |
| And I've only lived here since 1968. | |
| There's about five hurricanes I've gone through. | |
| Some are, you know, they were predicted to be maybe a one, just like this one. | |
| This one was, the big difference on this one compared to the other ones, big and small, was the prediction made it sound like it was going to be benign. | |
| They said, well, it's not a one, but it could be a one, and the winds aren't that bad. | |
| Turned out the winds were worse than they said. | |
| There was a lot of rain. | |
| It paused at the wrong time. | |
| It paused over Lake Jackson. | |
| Yeah. | |
| And a lot of damage. | |
| The first time I saw the results of a hurricane living here was I got up and walked out. | |
| I thought it reminded me of what a city would look like if it was bombed. | |
| Yeah, yeah. | |
| And that's the way it looks around here. | |
| But was that the reason you didn't show up this week for the program? | |
| No water, no electricity, no internet. | |
| We spent a week sweltering, sweltering in the Texas heat over that week. | |
| Yeah, I thought, well, he has to learn. | |
| He's not been in Texas as long as I have been. | |
| So until he told me, I think I'm going to desert because it's 99 degrees in our bedroom. | |
| So, well, that comes with it. | |
| Fortunately, there probably were some serious problems, injuries and things, but we didn't have any. | |
| And people are cleaning up, and we'll get back to normal one of these days. | |
| So this is something that you have to live with. | |
| But I'm glad that nobody got injured. | |
| But we had a busy place at our house. | |
| We had a lot of visitors. | |
| We had a few relatives and a few friends that had no insurance. | |
| Oh, that's terrible. | |
| So they came to pay a visit. | |
| Yeah, of course. | |
| Well, you know, we got the power on here in the studio a couple of days before we got it on in our house. | |
| And I texted you and asked if it was okay. | |
| And thankfully, you let us, we slept in the studio. | |
| I had my kids on the floor. | |
| We were sleeping in the studios. | |
| So we were able to sleep those couple of nights at least. | |

Assassination Attempts and Conspiracies
00:13:20
|
|
| Yeah, at the beginning, we can't miss, we can't miss, we can't miss. | |
| But then the next second day or a third day, we have to be realistic. | |
| We're just not. | |
| I don't think our viewers will desert us because we were a little bit late on some of these programs. | |
| Like this one, we'll do a program. | |
| Other than the weather, we wanted to talk about the weather and why we missed a few days. | |
| We want to talk a little bit about the assassination attempt. | |
| And that'll be an important subject, and it's going to be around a while. | |
| But it certainly has been in the news. | |
| But before the assassination attempt occurred, I was thinking about the campaign. | |
| There was a lot going in the campaign, a lot of tough talk, do it our way or else. | |
| And then I got to thinking, when things are so apparent in the big fight between Biden and Trump, that was it. | |
| And that's what people, 99% were talking about it. | |
| And I got to thinking, you know, that's when sometimes something big happens. | |
| I think sometimes what is in the top of the news is a distraction for something else going on. | |
| Not that something else was going on, but nobody really knew about it. | |
| I think our Secret Service was supposed to know something was going on, but that's a sad story. | |
| But boy, does it bring back my memories about, you know, being close to what was happening on November 21st and 22nd in 1963 during the assassination of Kennedy. | |
| And this is, this was, it turned out, you know, more questions than answers. | |
| Yeah. | |
| You know, and I think that's the way it's going to be. | |
| Because I followed and then read about the Kennedy assassination and found out, because I remember I was the medical officer at Kelly, which was where he was the day before. | |
| But I was amazed that, you know, so many people, including myself, maybe, I don't know how long, months or years, Oswald did it. | |
| Everybody knew that. | |
| Evidence is there. | |
| But slowly, truth crept in, and we found out it wasn't the truth. | |
| So I think maybe not only I, but others might have been thinking already about this. | |
| But how could there be any shenanigans going on? | |
| Some crazy kid gets up there and wants to be a hero and kill the president. | |
| So that, I think there's a lot to be known. | |
| The one thing that I just read recently, and I won't verify it other than the fact that it was a recent story, I happen to believe it. | |
| And it was the individual that was a Secret Service person that was walking behind the Kennedy car. | |
| And he finally revealed what was going through his mind and what he knew. | |
| And he just revealed, he was silent all this time. | |
| And he said that the cars that Kennedy was in were instructed to slow up or stop at a particular point. | |
| Now, isn't that something? | |
| But what happened, what that made me think about now was what happened here. | |
| Three places where Trump could have been targeted and was targeted. | |
| Two places were covered. | |
| Some civilian attendees tried to tell the police, well, the way in the middle, why aren't you dealing with this? | |
| And they have a recording of this. | |
| Would that make one, it should make one suspicious of what's going on, because I think that, you know, assassinations occur, but the very big ones usually aren't, you know, just partisan in a sense, well, we don't like your person. | |
| There was a lot of hatred and stuff going on. | |
| But I think there's big issues involved, and we may not know for a long, long time. | |
| It took a long time for a lot of researchers to sort it out and give us a really pretty good understanding of the tragedy of what happened with JFK. | |
| Yeah, I think that's a good point that you make because for so many years people believed the mainstream narrative and now it almost seems the default is they're lying. | |
| So you could call that progress in a way. | |
| The default is they're lying about this. | |
| We're supposed to believe that some 20-year-old without any military training, to 20-year-old loner, somehow outsmarched the entire Secret Service, the entire FBI, and managed to come within an inch of killing former President Donald Trump. | |
| So people are, I think, immediately saying something is fishy about the narrative, something's fishing about the story. | |
| And you write about this this week in your column about how Eric Prince, who I think once came to visit you in your office, a very interesting guy, but he has a good couple of, he had a good tweet out where he said, this is either mass incompetence or malice. | |
| Because he said, I've been in this business a long time. | |
| I know how you do these things. | |
| And there is a lot of very fishy stuff about this. | |
| Yes, and in trying to figure it out, it isn't as simple as saying it's a Republican-Democratic contest. | |
| It looks like it on the surface. | |
| I mean, you know, they misconstrue, I think, a lot of what Trump says. | |
| And at the same time, there's been some pretty explicit things said on the other side about how they should target Trump. | |
| So I don't think the big ones, like the Kennedy thing, the first accusation after Kennedy was murdered was, oh, it's those right-wingers. | |
| The Dallas right-wingers, they were in Dallas, the right-wingers, they did that. | |
| And it turned out that it had nothing to do with it. | |
| It was a conspiracy of government agents. | |
| And the parties are party to these kind of things. | |
| And there certainly was enough reason where people really, as a matter of fact, the little bit we've heard by the kid that did the attempt, he was not a party person, even though he participated. | |
| But I think you can still have hatred designed and make it look like it's the parties doing that. | |
| But I do think there are other things going on because it took a long time for people to really believe about Alan Dulles and how he was involved and how the hatred existed and Cuba thing going on. | |
| So I think right now there's a lot of people still wondering about how this happened because it took a lot of planning to do the Kennedy assassination. | |
| They must have been slicker because I think a lot of people had to be involved. | |
| Right now, we have one kid, 20 years old, and some people said there's, you know, could be seven shots. | |
| And there were several because people were killed. | |
| But no, and the big thing is, if that place was reserved for him, that is utterly devastating. | |
| But I still don't think, I might be wrong on this, that it isn't the partisans who go to these national conventions. | |
| I think it's the deep state that use the parties and use, but it's more the people who might be in the military-industrial complex. | |
| They'd be part of that deep state, but they have a few connections with the apparent, the people who pretend they run the country, where I think it comes from a much deeper area than the Speaker of the House and the Democratic Party. | |
| I mean, I think it might not even be too extreme to talk about the mainstream media and even Biden as co-conspirators in this. | |
| Because after all, Biden said the day before the shooting, if I'm not mistaken, we need to put a bullseye on Trump. | |
| I mean, that is clearly, clearly calling for it. | |
| And the mainstream media has for years demonized Trump. | |
| Biden himself said he is the number one threat to our country. | |
| And you can't come out with rhetoric like this. | |
| In fact, the New Republic, the left-wing neocon magazine, in their June edition, they came out with a cover of Trump as Hitler. | |
| I mean, Trump as Hitler, with sort of German-style script saying what fascism will look like in America or something. | |
| That is clearly incendiary. | |
| That's clearly something that would... | |
| Because, I mean, I grew up with people asking the rhetorical question, if someone could have killed Hitler in his youth, we could have avoided all this bloodshed, you know? | |
| So when you have that mentality and then you call someone Hitler, should you be surprised that someone says, I'm going to be the hero and stop this fascism from coming? | |
| Yeah, you know, when you hear these accusations, and they do it for a purpose to build up the hate and to despise the person they're targeting. | |
| And I think that what really happens, I bet it works out more this way, that during Russia Gate, remember the accusations that were thrown at Trump? | |
| But it turns out that they were doing exactly, they do this, I think it's over and over again. | |
| If they're accusing Trump of something or other examples of that, they're probably guilty of it. | |
| Oh, we'll make everybody think he's guilty. | |
| And they've done that all the time. | |
| But you have to have a little bit of cooperation with your media. | |
| They have to play the game too. | |
| I put that with the position of the deep state, not the RNC or the DNC. | |
| Yeah, and they're, of course, backed up by the entertainment industrial complex. | |
| You know, this comedian actor, Jack Black, he went on stage, I think, last night on a show, and he said, whatever you do, don't miss next time. | |
| You know, I mean, they can get away with saying this. | |
| I mean, it's just astonishing that they're not drummed out of polite society. | |
| But we'll keep an eye on this, and we will keep reporting as much as we can see, get as much analysis. | |
| But I'm going to close out our abbreviated show today by reminding you now I lost a week in promoting our conference coming up. | |
| It's going to be an absolutely fantastic conference, August 31st, near the Dulles Airport in D.C. We've got Judge Napolitano, we've got Professor John Mearsheimer, we've got Joel Salatin, we've got Dr. Joe Mercola. | |
| These are terrific speakers. | |
| You're going to want to see them in person and hear what they have to say. | |
| The Liberty Platform, August 31st. | |
| Get your tickets right away before they are gone. | |
| Go to ronpaulinstitute.org and you'll see in that corner of our website a link to get your tickets. | |
| Very good. | |
| And you know, when an episode like this breaks out, there's always a concern or an interest. | |
| And what's it going to do to the markets? | |
| Well, the initial response so far has been very favorable because Trump is identified by a freer market than obviously than the opposition. | |
| And the economy is affected one way or the other. | |
| But I'll tell you what, right now, the economy is going to be divorced from all of this. | |
| And this is where the tricky stuff will come. | |
| This is why if I had an opinion to really express myself about the significance of this and say, oh, you know, buy stock, Trump is in. | |
| He's going to save us from all this. | |
| I'll tell you what, it's bipartisan. | |
| The financial, economic problems that we have are bipartisan. | |
| The Federal Reserve, the wars overseas, the deficits, they're bipartisan. | |
| And there's none of that in this. | |
| This has made sure that people don't think about those things because they're both guilty of it. | |
| And it's going to play havoc because the treatment is pretty rough. | |
| The treatment is stop the spending and get the government out of our hair, out of our pocketbook, and out of our lives. | |
| And I think that's one day we'll have to wake up and think that is the most important issue instead of scheming on how we're going to destroy and bring about the hate that might get rid of your opposition. | |
| Anyway, lots to be in the news in the future, and we will keep abreast of that. | |
| And we will be back. | |
| Thank you very much for tuning in to the Liberty Report. | |
