Pentagon Purge: Neocons Desperate For Iran War

Recently fired top Pentagon advisor Dan Caldwell took his case to the massive Tucker Carlson show yesterday, explaining that despite whispered accusations against him and his two colleagues, there was not even an investigation as to whether they were responsible for leaks. It's clear that the neocons are getting desperate for their war on Iran and intend to purge any voices of reason. Also today - Ambassador Huckabee to Palestinians: "Starve!"

Significant Events and Leakers 00:14:38
all right dr paul we're live and coming to you on three 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 this morning.
Good morning, Dr. Paul.
How are you this morning?
Good.
Is there peace and prosperity in the world today?
We're still working for it.
We're still working towards it.
We'll always have a job.
We will always have a job.
At least a project.
It's not a paying job, exactly.
But there is pay in the issue.
You know, some people get paid for playing these games.
Oh, yeah.
You know, politic and all.
The really wealthy people, we found out, they were your neighbors.
Some of them lived near you when you lived up in Washington.
And you knew something about the military industrial complex.
They made more money than the members of Congress.
A lot more.
All of them, yeah.
So we're going to be talking about some of that going on today over the Iranian position that we have.
But I'm very impressed with this article that came out because it's a good friend of ours and somebody I've known for a long time.
And he's been generous in acknowledging our efforts.
And that's Tucker.
Oh, yeah.
And I was just telling you a minute ago that isn't it, it must drive the regular media nuts.
You know, Tucker, he's out there telling the truth to the best of his ability.
And he's so more influential than all these high-paid people, both right and left pundits, you know, on the television.
There's other good ones, and there's a lot of good people.
You can't make it a blanket thing.
But when it's news, this is a story that is really gigantic.
And of course, it came from a magazine that's been around a bit.
And they tried at times to get things together.
This comes from Politico.
It has to do with the firing, the three people fired and what's going on and the politics of all.
And the title of the article is Fired Pentagon Advisors said he threatened.
This is the key.
He threatened established interest.
And that is the key.
And then I thought, 1963, 1963, that's a popular, all 1960.
How many assassinations have there been?
There were more than I mentioned, usually the big names, but there were a lot more assassinations of lower-level people and people that were associated with that because the neocon faction of the pro-war people are everywhere.
And I think a lot of people thought that it's just one or two people.
Soros buys a judge here and there and they're able to go after Trump, that sort of thing.
But it's incestuous.
His efforts, I believe, are deeply embedded in our system.
And it's very hard, even with a reformer like Trump who comes in that sometimes confuses us exactly where he's coming from, that he's out there and he's being bambasted by the whole establishment.
But it isn't just one person doing this.
I think what we're talking about here today is how deep an effect that Soros has.
Lower level people, new people we haven't heard about, and it looks like they have a farm team, and they're probably not the majority of the people, you know, in government.
But they have an influence.
And right now, I think this is sort of based around a couple significant events.
Our Israeli policy, especially relating to Yemen and Iran.
And that is the big issue as our overall foreign policy of spending and the non-intervention.
So hopefully, we were hopeful that there'd be less intervention.
And at times, Trump comes across with some good statements.
We shouldn't do this, shouldn't do that.
But right now, I would agree with the critics.
This is a mess.
How did it get that bad?
And who's really guilty?
Because I think it won't be ironed out tomorrow.
And they'll be arguing about this for years.
But I think the role of some people who have a desire to at least state what is, you know, the true things of the situation, make a record, but also hopefully influence some people and say, well, maybe there is something to this interventionism that is uncontrollable.
Maybe we should look at the big picture and decide maybe the founders were right.
They said no entangling alliances, and I vote for that.
Yeah, no, we talked about this yesterday, what's happening in the Pentagon, and we're talking about it two days in a row for a couple of reasons.
First of all, it's more significant and more important, I think, than a lot of people realize.
They may just, well, a lot of people have just taken the mainstream media line.
These were three leakers.
Everyone hates leakers, except when they're leaking for the deep state, then they love them.
And the other reason, I mean, it's still a very, very huge story, but the second is because, as you alluded to in your opening statement, Tucker Carlson, to his credit, he had Dan Caldwell on, who's probably the closest to us ideologically, who was fired, a top advisor to Hegseth, Pete Hegseth.
He had him on for an hour and a half to discuss what's going on, not only with his particular firing, but within the foreign policy community in Washington, D.C.
And from what I heard, and I admit I did not watch the entire piece because I'm too fidgety.
However, from what I heard, I think Caldwell described it exactly as I remember it, as we remember it in 02 and 03 when the neocons were pushing war for Iran.
So put on that first clip, which is actually the second clip.
And here's the political piece we're talking about.
This was a write-up of Tucker Carlson's interview with Dan Caldwell.
Now go backward to go forward if you can.
Here's how they start it.
A Pentagon advisor who was abruptly fired with several other Defense Department officials amid a leak investigation is disputing the stated reason for his dismissal, arguing he was purged over his foreign policy views, including opposition to an attack on Iran.
Dan Caldwell said in a podcast interview Monday that he was not responsible for leaks that were used as justification for the purge that's caused turmoil at the Pentagon and prompted calls for Pete Hegseth to resign.
And I underline this part.
He insisted he never leaked any information.
And here, get this, Dr. Paul.
Neither he nor two other fired officials, Colin Carroll and Darren Selnick, were even told why they were ousted.
So they weren't even told at all.
And in fact, I do a couple of clips from Tucker's show.
And this first clip, if we can put it on, we can hear Tucker in his monologue explaining this.
You might want to put your earpiece in, Dr. Paul, because let's listen to this.
Hold on a second.
You might want to put your earpiece in.
Let's full screen this and listen to Tucker set this up.
Dan Caldwell is a Marine Corps veteran who wound up until three days ago advising the Secretary of Defense, Pete Hegseth, on military policy.
He's one of the strongest voices in the U.S. government in the Trump administration against the war with Iran.
And his rationale was simple.
It's not in America's interest, and many Americans will die, and billions will be spent on a war we don't need to fight.
And as someone who fought in Iraq, he was able to take that case to the principals with some force.
Then, three days ago, he was fired from the Pentagon, but not for his views on Iran.
No, Dan Caldwell was fired because, reporters are told off the record, he had leaked classified documents to the media.
But what were these classified documents exactly?
Well, no one at the Pentagon could know the answer to that because Dan Caldwell's phone was never examined, nor was he given a polygraph.
So, actually, beneath the headlines was nothing.
Did you leak classified information against the wishes of your superiors to media outlets?
Absolutely not.
So, it wasn't even an investigation that we know of.
It was just something that, as Tucker said, the whispering, the wagging tongues leaked to the mainstream media.
These guys are leakers.
These guys are leakers.
They never even examined their devices to see if they had done anything.
Do they have a real great plan, the deliberate plan on how to handle this?
Or are they confused?
Because the community is confused about understanding this.
But it's not hard for me to believe that the underlying business is the attack on policy because that's what drove the Vietnam War and every war we've been in there since then.
Has been that it is up to us to protect our liberties and the freedoms of the world and take care of everybody.
And it's policy that drove our government, our CIA, to be caught, you know, committing assassinations.
They've been involved in all the coups, essentially.
They're very much involved.
They know who's going on.
It's the issue of empire that we are always working for.
But it gets a little bit confusing because you can't stamp out truth completely and totally.
So even though they work with each other thinking, oh, we'll convert them, that, you know, it always leaks out that the people who really want, you know, the neocons to win, they overstepped their bounds.
And the other people who want to work in a more deliberate fashion and compromise a little bit, they get stomped over.
And then what do we end up with?
I think we saw the word chaos in here someplace.
And chaos is what the dictators always want to create chaos and take advantage of it.
And there's a little bit of, maybe a lot of that going on right now.
Yeah, that's what I think.
The word is chaos.
And I think that's what's happening.
We discussed it a little bit yesterday, which is you have Hegseth on one hand.
Now, Hegseth, all the neocons were very confident that he's one of them.
He's going to go for this war with Iran.
It's a shoe-in.
All of a sudden, we hear last week that Trump himself put a stop to the plan to attack Iran, and that one of the people in his camp, aside from JD Vance, was Pete Hegseth.
You can imagine the sound of neocon heads exploding.
This is our guy.
How can this happen?
Not coincidentally, I would assert.
Just days after it came out that Hegseth was the brakes on this terrible runaway train, all of these things started leaking about Hegseth.
Now, we're under no illusion that he's one of us, but nevertheless, the neocons were throwing out carrots and sticks.
The carrots are: hey, get rid of these advisors who are talking against this war, and you can stay in your position.
The sticks are, we've got a lot of stuff on you, Pete.
We've got a lot of stuff we can leak to the press, and you better believe it.
We can take care of you.
And I think that's what's happening here.
So they're trying to box Trump in and confuse him, and they're doing a heck of a job.
We remember this from 02 and 03.
Now, let's go to a next, this is the policy part of why they hated, why they hate Dan Caldwell.
Put the next JPEG on.
There we go.
Thanks.
And then we'll do another clip, audio clip.
But here's what Caldwell told Tucker Carlson.
I was out there advancing things that a lot of people in the foreign policy establishment didn't want.
It doesn't justify what's happening to me, but let's just be honest.
That is the nature of the games played in D.C. Absolutely correct, Dan.
Caldwell said that while he believes his views contributed to an ouster, he thinks Carol and Celnik were fired for different reasons.
And here's Caldwell again.
We were threatening a lot of established interests in our own special ways, he said.
And we had people who had personal vendettas against us.
And I think they weaponized investigations against us.
That is exactly how the neocons play.
They play so dirty.
Character assassination is their stock in trade.
Let's listen to him explaining why he is against the war with Iran.
He tells Tucker in this next clip: you might want to put your earpiece in, Dr. Paul, because he's explaining to Tucker Carlson why he feels the way he does.
So we're pursuing diplomacy with the leverage of potential military action.
Correct.
That is how it's supposed to work.
Now, there's risks in that.
You could create a security dilemma, a spiral.
So you have to be careful, but that is essentially why the DOD exists.
Now, with that said, there are obviously specifics I can't get into, but I think it is fair to say that a war with Iran risks being incredibly costly in terms of lives and dollars and instability in the Middle East.
Lives and dollars.
American lives, American dollars.
The lives of Americans, the lives of Iraqis, of Saudis, of Iranians, of Emiratis, yes, of Israelis.
And, of course, Iranians.
So that's why.
He says it's not in our interest.
Thousands are going to die.
Billions are going to be wasted.
And it's not going to work.
That's the same thing that happened with Iraq.
They're doing it all over again.
That's why they got rid of him.
Yes.
And, you know, I'm hopeful that this will be sorted out so that we can find out who's at fault.
But it's difficult to do this because, you know, a lot of things are done in secrecy.
But the way I look at the big picture is that we talk a lot about the neocons.
Oh, he's a neocon, and all of a sudden we know exactly what he's up to.
And he's sort of out in the open.
He's challenging the establishment.
But then we also use a term, the military-industrial complex.
Neocons With Knives Out 00:15:40
I think they're the strategy people.
We know they make a lot of money and they deal with the government, but you never see a meeting with 10 top leaders of the military-industrial conflict.
But believe me, they cooperate and they put the pressure on there.
And then they have to everywhere to controlling judges that Soros would like to do to getting other people into Congress.
There's some people that can't go to Congress unless they become dedicated soldiers in this warmongering that goes on.
So they might say something, and I met them.
You met him too.
Oh, yeah.
Some people that would come to us for help to get into Congress and they make a couple statements.
As soon as they get there, it doesn't take long.
Somebody asked me once, what do you think Hazy's going to stick to what he's promised?
I'll wait a day or two.
And you can tell there could be one of the very first votes which would identify, oh, he had to do this because he had to vote that way because he's trying to get on such and such committee.
And they don't have strong beliefs.
They have a strong belief in their future.
You know, they want to have influence, but they're really on our side to what they would claim.
Yeah.
Well, we always had a joke in the office.
If you want to be a leader, you got to learn how to follow.
That's how it goes.
Well, I'm going to do one more quote from the article because I think this is important as well.
If you put that next one up, Caldwell, a former Marine officer, now we saw that from Tucker's explanation.
He worked for Hegseth at the Concerned Veterans of America, portrayed himself as an opponent of open-ended military conflict that has characterized U.S. foreign policy in the Middle East and could resume with an attack on Iran that has the backing of some American and Israeli officials.
Here's a quote.
I think there clearly is a very strong coalition within the United States that wants to see another war in the Middle East, Caldwell said, and it crosses both parties.
Yes, Caldwell, they're called neocons, and that's exactly what's happening.
But although there is that very strong coalition within the U.S., it's primarily limited to the D.C. area because we talk about poll after poll showing that Americans do not want this by massive margins.
They don't want another war.
They're sick and tired of us backstopping Israel and the region, and they've just had enough of it.
But the other thing that really crossed my mind when I was thinking about this is the fact that now Dan Caldwell, yes, he had a high position in the Pentagon, but he's just one person in a bureaucracy of thousands and thousands, many, many, many hundreds of neocons everywhere with their knives out to stick in his back.
But what does it show you?
Just like when you were the only no vote, it shows the effect that one person standing up for principles has.
The neocons, the warmongers, are terrified of that one person who stands up and says no, even though the other 99.9% said we're all with you.
They're terrified.
And the reason is that the neocon houses are all built on sand.
They're all built on a pack of lies.
And one person telling the truth destroys their entire argument.
That's why they had to get Caldwell out.
Some of them were very determined because if it was one vote that they were challenging, they would come and ask me to change my vote.
And I would say to them, I said, you don't have one person.
Who cares?
You have all the votes.
And yet it was still very important to them because they don't want one person that has credibility of trying to expose the truth.
And they get hysterical over it.
But I think it's a fascinating psychological thing.
But the stuff that was going on, the preparation for the Iraq war, and you allude to that, the similarities that are going on.
And Iraq, you know, but we lost.
We lost that.
So right now, you were emphasizing it.
It should not work like this.
The people don't want it.
But we're up against it.
Now, have conditions changed?
I think they have.
I think people were more complacent back 20 years ago on this stuff.
You know, what the heck.
But now Trump maybe elicits more attention to this.
So now they're wondering what is going to go on.
But I think it's just great that the people are waking up.
But I keep using the analogy to COVID.
You know, a few people stood up, but they caught on in a spread.
And I give credit to the modern-day technology.
You know, technology and some of this invasion of our privacy and all this nonsense that goes on is really, really dangerous.
But I'll tell you what, just think we reach more people now than I did when I go to college campus and get 25 people to come out.
Yeah.
The other thing about this, Dr. Paul, in terms of the public perception, now Trump's numbers are down.
They're at the lowest level of his presidency thus far.
Now, it's still in the low 40s, but nevertheless, it was 47, now it's 42.
I don't think that it's a coincidence that this warmongering, the Yemen bombing, the saber rattling on Iran.
I think that a good chunk at least of Trump voters thought he was one of them, i.e., he was going to do what he said, which is, I don't want to start any wars.
I want to stop wars.
And now he started a war with Iran, and he's threatening another war with Yemen and threatening another war with Iran.
And I think it's reflecting in the lack of support for these things.
And I think if he's not careful, his presidency is at stake.
Now, I'm going to just do a couple quick clips, if you don't mind, Dr. Paul, because I think our thesis here is that the neocons are trying to back Trump into a box.
This is not to say he's innocent or he's easy to be manipulated.
Nevertheless, this is what they did with W, if you remember.
They put him in a trap where he couldn't get out, and the only thing he could do is go in.
And I'm going to have a couple of points I want to show up, if you don't mind.
This is something I found yesterday.
Now, this is an article.
Go to this next one.
It's a neocon article.
DNI Gabbard must reverse stupid U.S. intelligence on Iran's nuclear weapons program.
So the neocons are furious.
This is a post our next saying, Mark Levine recently shared this widely circulating piece demanding that Tulsi Gabbard fix the intelligence on Iran to justify an attack.
This is Dick Cheney visiting the CIA to manipulate Iraq intel-level stuff.
We remember when he did that, when Cheney went to the CIA and said, listen, guys, I'm sick of all this analysis showing that Iraq didn't do 9-11.
We want you to fix it to show that they did do 9-11.
Now, the other thing that I think is another piece of evidence that they're building a trap, go to the next one.
This is from our friends at anti-war, Kyle Anzalone.
With an eye on Iran, U.S. sends bunker-busting bombs to Israel.
So on the one hand, Trump is able to say, not quite yet.
Let's hold off for a little bit on this war with Iran.
But at the same time, nine loads of bunker-busting bombs were shipped from the U.S. to Israel.
So they get the bombs in place.
They get all of these people in place.
Then they say, well, Mr. President, everything is ready.
You can't back down now.
What will people think of you?
They'll think that you're weak.
That's what they did to George W. They'll think that you're a wimp.
And that's how they'll get him in the box.
That's when they'll spring the trap.
You know, this article you were quoting here, you know, came from anti-war, I believe.
And he concluded with more or less what you were saying there.
However, on Thursday, Trump explained that he had not ruled out attacking Iran after saying some things that occurred.
And when he got out of that agreement, some people saw that he was reaching for a hawkish positive reason.
But I know we wouldn't have endorsed that function, but by rejecting it, it was going back to the wrong direction.
But then he added, he said, but I'm not in a rush to do it.
He says, we can't rule it out, but no rush.
Do you think that's ambivalency or what that reflects?
Because it's not good policy.
They don't understand how easy it is not to lie.
If you were up there and you were a true non-interventionist, you say, well, this sounds interesting.
Everybody has to be represented.
But, you know, under the rules of the Constitution and ethical, moral conditions, Considerations, we shouldn't be involved.
So we're not going to send these bombs over there.
Besides, we're broke.
You know, we're broke now, but they keep spending.
And we put out those numbers of the cost.
Yemen, I thought they had a couple herdsmen or something there.
I didn't know what the country was like.
It must be valuable because we store.
They're talking about, what, trillion dollars?
Yeah, a billion dollars a month.
Start to add up soon.
Yeah.
I mean, we talked about this before the show, the point that you just made.
Trump is trying to keep both factions happy, and that's a mistake, I think, because the neocons, they'll play that game.
They'll pretend that they're going along and being fair, but then they'll strike, you know, and we've seen it happen.
Yeah, that's why you see the two factions, you know, working with each other on a daily basis, and they can't stand each other's policy, even if they had past arrangements where it was to their interest to get along to move up the ladder.
But when they're in power and they're going to have the influence, then the Dick Cheneys appear and the media gives them all the clout and drowns out the people who say, well, they said in this, that we shouldn't be doing this.
We should stop wars and we should not start new ones.
And they'll say, well, they'll say the Iran war is not going to be easy.
This expert told us, well, he's a leaker, you know.
They destroy his credibility.
So anything he says, that's the game.
Oh, you listen to that leaker?
What's wrong with you?
Do you hate America?
That's what they do.
They're so bad.
But I wanted to do one other thing as an evidence that I think there's a trap being sprung for Trump.
And I'll put this next one on.
This is something that's fascinating.
So breaking, Mike Waltz appoints a former Israeli Ministry of Defense employee, Marav Sheren, as a member of the U.S. National Security Council.
This was a person in military intelligence for the state of Israel.
And Waltz has named her to be on his staff at the National Security Council.
Now, you can actually leave that up.
Now, first of all, I wonder how on earth she could get a security clearance.
I mean, I went through the process of getting a top secret clearance.
It's not a cakewalk.
Maybe it's easier these days.
But certainly working for a foreign intelligence service would be a bit of a red flag.
Anyway, our good friend Max Blumenthal commented on this, and he makes a very good point.
He said, Marav Karen also worked at the Foundation for Defense of Democracies, described by former Israeli Brigadier General Seema Vaakin Gill as an Israeli intelligence cutout.
Her brother, Omri, is a veteran Israel lobbyist who runs Ted Cruz on the Middle East.
And Max concludes by saying, Waltz is Tel Aviv's White House line.
So that's interesting.
They're putting their people into the administration that are not even cutouts.
They're literally, we used to work for Israeli intelligence.
Now we're working for the Americans.
Well, this doesn't.
I want to quote from an anti-war article about the new ambassador.
That's Huckabee.
Yes.
And what he backs.
And it has to do with Israel, has to do with the Middle East, and it has to do with all the problems we're talking about and how they come about.
But the title is, the new U.S. Ambassador Israel backs Israel's total blockade on Gaza.
I wonder what that means.
Do you think they will die from that?
Somebody might get killed.
But, you know, that is just so strange.
And, you know, I'm not going to get too much involved in this, but this foreign policy in the Middle East does complicate things with religious beliefs.
And it's not polite to talk about that, but religious beliefs and conviction to gain your stature as knowing the truth, because my religion tells me that, that can be very dangerous.
But they end this article by quoting Huckabee.
And I remember the quote because I was there.
It says, back in 2008 in a debate, Huckabee said that there's no such thing as a Palestinian and argued the Palestinians should be expelled to other Arab states.
How do you get rid of a people?
This is utterly amazing.
And that's where a problem is.
There's been good times in the Middle East and bad times in the Middle East.
The good times of different factions getting along usually involved no outsiders.
The locals got together and settled their disputes.
The thing is now, obviously it's a cliché to compare everything to Hitler that you don't like.
But literally what Huckabee says about the Palestinians, they don't exist, is what Hitler said about the Jews.
They're not even humans.
So if I put them all in a boxcar, who's going to complain about it?
That's literally the attitude that Huckabee has here.
And it's absolutely disgusting.
The other thing is that he's the U.S. ambassador to Israel.
He's there to represent U.S. policy, U.S. values.
And here he comes out sounding like Smotrich or Ben Gavir.
I mean, he's literally echoing the hardest line.
He is saying, now put up that next clip.
He is saying the fact that Palestinians are starving in Gaza is their own fault.
He said, what I would like to suggest is we work together around putting the pressure where it really belongs on Hamas.
Well, it's not Hamas that's blocking the aid.
It's the Israelis who are blocking the aid.
And they're not blocking the aid to Hamas.
They're blocking the aid to innocent children.
And now this is a good write-up, by the way, at IntelWar.com because he points out, if you go to the next one, that Huckabee is demanding that Hamas sign an agreement so the aid can go through.
It's all Hamas's fault.
Sign the agreement and the humanitarian aid will flow.
Well, the article points out if you go to the next one, they've already done this.
Hamas has been offering to release all Israeli hostages in exchange for a permanent ceasefire and Israeli withdrawal from Gaza.
But Israel has refused.
Israel also refused to implement the full truce deal that was signed on January, which required humanitarian aid to enter Gaza.
On March 2nd, Israel imposed a total blockade on all goods entering the strip.
So blaming it on Hamas when Hamas said, okay, let's sign a permanent deal.
Israel said, okay.
But they refused to implement the second phase of the deal and instead went back in.
Inflation's Hidden Victims 00:05:17
So Huckabee, I hate to say it this way, but he's a liar, you know, and he's really not a good person.
Now, at the risk of upsetting some people, go two clips ahead because you already mentioned Huckabee saying there's no such thing as Palestinians.
Well, breaking Odai Fadi Ahmad, a young boy in Gaza, died today from hunger and malnutrition, killed by Israel's blockade that continues to cut off food and medicine to more than 2 million people.
Now, Ryan Grimm, who's a conservative commentator, said the 53rd child has starved to death in Gaza while food awaits just meters away beyond a fence blocked by Israel.
That's the part that Huckabee needs to understand.
You don't have to love Hamas.
You can hate Hamas.
But this kid doesn't deserve to die because of him playing politics.
And the only way that they can tolerate it from themselves is to deny a truth, that they're not people.
So they don't have a conscience.
That is an example of nihilism where you reject the idea that you're seeking truth.
There are some people.
I would say that is my main goal in life is to seek the truth of the situation because all I know is that every time I look at these events and be involved indirectly or directly is that they get together and they always end up fighting when the government's involved.
When the local people have to get together and they all live in the same homeland, it's much better.
But they could be segregated voluntarily.
The voluntary principle could solve this problem too.
Let the people of that whole area declare it's a voluntary area.
Oh yeah, but oh it's valuable.
We'll have too many factions wanting to declare they own it.
And then if they don't have a good moral reason for doing it, well they're not even people.
Yeah, they're not even people.
They're not even people.
Sick.
Sick.
Well I'm going to conclude by doing something I haven't done in a while.
I was happy to wake up this morning and see that Bitcoin's doing well.
Put that last clip up.
If you don't mind, just to remind our viewers that if you are sitting on some Bitcoin, we would love to have you donate it to the Ron Paul Institute as a tax-deductible donation.
You can use your scanner to scan that QR code and give some money to the Ron Paul Institute, keep the Ron Paul Liberty Report alive, all our conferences and everything else we do.
Because Bitcoin is up, well, your Bitcoin or your fraction of a Bitcoin will go a lot further than it did a couple of weeks ago.
So we appreciate your generosity.
We appreciate your support.
If you don't hold Bitcoin, just go to the Ron Paul Institute and make a donation to keep us going.
We appreciate that.
Over to you, Dr. Very good.
You know, I think we live in fascinating times politically and financially, especially, because the markets are jumping all over the place.
And there are some dire predictions of what we're on the approach of, you know, a gigantic correction.
And I believe in that philosophy because I believe that we're dealing with an inflation.
Prices are going up, which is what they call inflation.
And they think it's, oh, it's Trump's fault.
Yeah, he's been there three months.
Did he create all the money?
Yeah, he's already created a bunch.
But the process is continuing.
But that is something that just comes, and then they want to blame somebody for this.
And inflation is there.
But the whole thing is, is the people who suffer the most are the middle-class people.
The inflation comes for spending, but it's always the excuse to protect somebody.
And if they protect somebody, they spend the money.
And of course, that ends up with the people suffering the most.
So I think the markets are in chaos.
And the Marxists are delighted.
They want chaos.
They want chaos in the streets.
We've had a bit of that.
And it could very well get worse at the rate we're doing.
But the inflation is starting, the major recent invasion or inflation was in 08 with the Deep Depression, recession then.
And now we're still seeing the consequence.
So you can't blame Trump or even Biden for all of it.
But it's the philosophy that all of them, I can remember, endorse it to some degree, especially since we had a Federal Reserve, it was to take over the control of the supply of money, which is to satisfy the most powerful and evil of the special interests.
So until people understand that, we're going to continue to have this chaos.
And the only thing that's going to limit these useless, silly, dangerous wars will be when we run out of money and we go broke.
And that's a tragedy to think that that has to happen.
It doesn't have to.
We could work our way out, but the odds of the people now accepting tightening their belt and going back to work are very, very slim.
But we have to state what the principles are and why sound money plays such an important role in the issue of peace and prosperity.
Everything Spending Matters 00:00:16
And everything that we do and all the spending at Washington cannot be done without having a deep-seated secret organization that controls the financial system.
I want to thank everybody for tuning in today to the Liberty Report.
