Ron Paul Liberty Report

President Trump has doubled down on his desire to end the federal Department of Education and return the task of education to the states. Republicans have long talked a good game but to date there has been very little action. Will Americans finally get a "win" on this issue? Also today, Trump names new top Middle East policy pick for the Pentagon...and he's very promising!

President Trump 2.0 hit the ground running, granting mass pardons to J6ers and others and issuing a mass number of executive orders. He has also overturned massive amounts of bad previous Executive Orders. Here are some of the highlights we need to focus on...

As he was literally exiting the Oval Office for the last time, former President Joe "No one is above the law" Biden has issued dozens of preemptive pardons to people from Fauci to Milley to the J6 Committee. But there is a catch... Also today, a new New York Times poll demonstrates strong support for ending conflicts in Ukraine and the Middle East.

Weekly Update --- Can Trump Fix Our Broken Foreign Policy? by Ron Paul Liberty Report

RPI's Daniel McAdams and Chris Rossini separate the news from the propaganda in this discussion of the REAL news of the week.

Will The J6 prisoners be freed? Will they be tossed into the street? Today in an extraordinary Liberty Report, businessman and philanthropist - and Ron Paul Institute Board Member - Gary Heavin will let us in on a massive effort underway to make sure that any January 6th protesters pardoned by incoming President Trump are not simply dropped into the street with no food, clothing, or shelter. Across the country - in nearly every state - Americans are mobilizing to help the wrongly detained American political prisoners arrested after January 6th, 2021.

Sen. Marco Rubio is a shoo-in for Secretary of State in the coming Trump Administration, but will the long-time neocon interventionist last long in an administration elected to pursue a new kind of foreign policy? Politico writes today that he may have a very short run at Foggy Bottom. Also today: Why is Trump's Ukraine envoy accepting highly paid speaking gigs from a Marxist-terrorist cult?

Incoming President Trump's National Security Advisor, Mike Waltz, has signaled that Ukraine must start recruiting even younger men into the meat grinder. After the loss of an estimated 600,000 men, Waltz is calling for even more killing, even as it is becoming obvious to even the mainstream media that Russia is winning the war. Is Waltz speaking for Trump? Also today: troops on the border? Will it work?

President Biden will deliver his final foreign policy speech today at the State Department, where it is anticipated he will claim that his foreign policy has left the US in a better position in the world than when he took office four years ago. Is he right? Also today: a new poll suggests that a full half of the executive branch bureaucracy plans to "resist" the policies of the incoming Trump Administration. What should be done?

Weekly Update --- 2025 New Year’s Resolutions, Part Two by Ron Paul Liberty Report

President-elect Trump caused many Americans to wince and scratch their heads this week. Trump succeeded in getting so many Americans to go out and overwhelmingly vote for “America First” and to focus on handling our country’s overwhelming problems. But over the last week, ideas that were not presented during the campaign have been floated: “North America” First and the additions of Canada and Greenland to the United States. Where did this come from?

The utter incompetence of the political class is on display as Los Angeles and California leadership watch the area burn to the ground. And the fire hydrants have no water in them. But...there's still money for Ukraine! Also today, Trump gets it right on the Russia/Ukraine war.

Politico has published an article accusing the billionaire businessman Elon Musk of "meddling" in foreign politics by expressing his opinion on foreign leaders. Is "meddling" just the new "disinformation" - i.e. people saying or doing things the elite does not like?

Citing fears of "climate change," outgoing president Joe Biden has pre-empted incoming President Trump's stated goal of increasing oil and gas production to help solve our economic problems. Should a lame duck president be able to tie a newly-elected president's hands? Also today, Facebook claims to abandon its "fact checker" scam. Should we believe them?

Weekly Update --- D.O.G.E.: End The Global Engagement Center! by Ron Paul Liberty Report

For four years the mainstream media and the Democratic Party (along with some Republicans) have pushed the narrative that on Jan. 6th, 2021, a coup d'etat was attempted against "our democracy." The narrative has empowered the state to jail scores of Americans without charge, to crack down on speech, and to demonize Americans who do not step in line. But what if it's all fake? Also today: foreign money drives DC policy through think tanks.

As the emotions of last year’s election fade away, homeostasis is kicking in. The pull of the status quo gets stronger with each passing day. The results of the election were crystal clear. American voters want “America First.” But American voters are in perpetual competition with donors that want “American Empire First” and “American Megastate First." The two are not the same. They are mutually exclusive. It must be one or the other.

It’s not a good look when Republicans and Democrats “negotiate” together and present an unreadable 1,500 page bill. It’s also not a good look for a follow-up Republican bill that seeks to raise the debt ceiling again for two years. We’re going bankrupt thanks to $36 trillion in debt. The American people voted to go in the other direction. Why doesn’t Washington ever get it?

After promising there would be no Christmas Continuing Resolution...Speaker Johnson put out...a Christmas Continuing Resolution. It was jammed with so much pork that he faced a GOP revolt in the House and a D.O.G.E revolt from Elon and Vivek. What's next? Also today, New House-introduced "D.O.G.E." Bill is unimpressive. We'll tell you why.

If it's Christmas, then it's another massive, bloated "Continuing Resolution" keeping the US government open for a few more months. Every year House leadership - doesn't matter which party - strong-arms Members to vote for the bloated bill...or miss Christmas with their families. Also today: "Peacekeepers" in Ukraine is a very bad idea. That's why the neocons love it. Please consider a tax-deductible donation to the Ron Paul Institute: https://ronpaulinstitute.org/donate/

Weekly Update --- What Are We Doing in Syria? by Ron Paul Liberty Report

"How do you End The Fed?” is a common question. Since the government created the Fed by signing the Federal Reserve Act in 1913 (yes, The Fed is a government-created monopoly) then the simple answer is for Congress to repeal that Act. But alas, it is not so simple in practice. The Fed has been our albatross for over 100 years and it has entrenched itself into our economic lives. Steps can definitely be taken, however, to free ourselves from this immoral and unconstitutional monopoly. Over time, as has happened with Americans freeing themselves from the mainstream media, it can be done.

Despite the positive election results on Nov. 5, we must not forget that economically America is a sinking ship. Over the last several weeks, President-elect Trump has made public some proposals that are clearly designed to bring business back to America. For decades, our overbearing government has chased big business away, and has made it very difficult for small business to survive. This cannot be fixed without a drastic decrease in regulations and government spending. It will not be fixed if the Trump Administration attempts to save the military empire. Trying to preserve the empire will just shuffle the deck chairs on our sinking ship. America First has to really be America First. It can be done.

New York City Mayor Eric Adams has shocked the Democratic establishment by vowing to work with the Trump Administration and the incoming "border czar" on illegal immigration and the crime it has brought to his city.

In a recent American Conservative article, Kelley Vlahos makes a very strong case for putting the National Endowment for Democracy on the DOGE chopping block. The quasi non-government organization (generously funded by the US government) is the Deep State's "regime change" machine. It harms, not helps, the US reputation overseas.

Joe Biden's pardon of his son Hunter is the most sweeping Presidential pardon since Gerald Ford pardoned Richard Nixon. It represents the deep corruption and contempt for the rule of law that has characterized the Biden presidency. But it is also important for another reason: the pardon is an attempt to erase the Biden family involvement with Ukraine from the time of the 2014 coup through the millions that passed into family accounts. Our current state of near WWIII is directly tied to the Biden family seeking personal riches in Ukraine.

Weekly Update --- Biden’s Parting Shot at America by Ron Paul Liberty Report

We hope you enjoy this classic speech!

We hope you enjoy this classic interview!

Sen. Lindsey Graham let the cat out of the bag: the war in Ukraine is a resource war where the US and its corporate elite are determined to snatch the trillions below and above ground in Ukraine before neighboring Russia takes over. Over a million have died or been injured in the war according to recent estimates, but that is not enough for Graham. Also today - Walmart de-wokifies itself. Finally...new missiles to Japan to target China? Please support the Ron Paul Liberty Report: https://ronpaulinstitute.org/donate/

According to a recent New York Times Report, the Biden Administration has discussed the idea of handing nuclear weapons over to Ukraine as it prepares to leave office. And France and the UK are discussing sending TROOPS into Ukraine! Do they really want WWIII? Also today...will Elon buy MSNBC?

Weekly Update --- Get the Government out of the Classroom by Ron Paul Liberty Report

We have a recurring problem that has led America to dire straits. Government creates a problem, and the purported “solution" multiplies more and bigger problems. Reactions to emergencies have consistently destroyed our freedoms. The reaction to 9/11 is a prime example, and the most recent Covid “policies” are another. And now we face yet another government-created problem — illegal immigration. Wouldn’t you know, some are actually clamoring for a “solution” to put U.S. troops in the streets of America! Talk about setting an extremely dangerous precedent that could easily be used against us someday. But this is how government takes away liberty; one emergency at a time. Deporting illegals is legal. But putting troops in America’s streets is not!

Early reports (now disputed) that Russia responded to UK Storm Shadow attacks on Russian territory with the battle launch of an Inter-Continental Ballistic Missile (ICBM) for the first time in history continues to race the world toward nuclear war. In the waning days of the Biden presidency, how far will the warmongers go? Also today, Netanyahu and Gallant may need to adjust their travel plans after an ICC indictment.

The damage done by endless wars and astronomical government spending may be at the point where economic catastrophe is unavoidable. However, life is far too complex, with far too many variables and unknowns to say for sure. With that being the case, there are certainly steps that the incoming Trump Administration can take to reverse course. The resistance to what is necessary will certainly be intense. But the immense damage can (at least) be repaired.

Just a day after lame-duck US President Joe Biden announced a radical escalation in its Ukraine war policy - allowing Ukraine to use US weapons to strike deep inside Russia - the first of the ATACMS missiles were fired. Russia's modified nuclear doctrine provides for the use of WMDs if the Russian state is attacked even with non-nuclear weapons. Will we survive the Biden presidency? Also today, the knives are out for Trump's Attorney General pick, Matt Gaetz.

Weekly Update --- If Trump Didn’t Send Musk to Talk with the Iranians…He Should! by Ron Paul Liberty Report

If the Wall Street Journal is to be believed, President Biden (or whoever is running his foreign policy) has, in the waning moments of his presidency, agreed finally to allow Ukraine to strike deep in Russian territory with US ATACMS missiles. Putin has warned that such a move could spark WWIII. Is Biden trying to "Trump-proof" his proxy war? Also today, the Pentagon fails its audit...again.

The much anticipated Cabinet appointment of RFK Jr. to the HHS has finally come to fruition. In addition to the military-industrial complex, the medical industry in America has become a major thorn in the side of the American people. After a long train of abuses, trust has been shattered and the word “expert” has become an anathema. Who better to come in to pick up the pieces than RFK Jr.?
