congressman ron paul he says the u.s. media work to make russia look like an enemy. believing here in this country that trump has advice it's not necessarily the best i think he has good instincts i think he was very sincere today i think it was all very positive but you also mentioned so far in this program about the american media and that is a big problem because for some reason they're almost unanimously endorsing the idea that we have to have an enemy and at this point especially for the last twenty years they've been working very hard to make russia the enemy and i think this is this is wrong and it's not just democrats alone that do this it's the democrats and along with some disgruntled republicans who just they just don't like trump but no i was very pleased with what went on today and it's a step in the right direction they can rehash everything whether it i think the biggest thing that if it ever had a serious discussion i guess it would come out on how much we've been involved when we should be involved for instance in ukraine and how that occurred but if

let's go a bit deeper into this and go live to a done deal make albums executive director of the ron paul institute for peace prosperity done you're always welcome first of all something that really looked like a glaring aspect of this why do you think it was that the f.b.i. was not given a excess to the d.n.c. as physical servers. well i think it is a very good question as your reporter pointed out if you're the victim of a crime why would you not want to hand the evidence over to the police the fact of the matter is the company they had doing their security is a politically biased company that was involved involved in all sorts of things to steal the say and other things so it is a it is a big question but the other big question really is the timing and union and that once again we have an indictment on a friday before a weekend but not just any weekend as you also pointed out in your segment this is the weekend before the much anticipated trump who can summit the political implications of dropping the indictments on a day like today only of only if it's someone who's completely on anot

primary season system to look at how they cheated bernie sanders of course the republicans junior ron paul and twenty twelve so we've got our own problems to face here in the u.s. when it comes to our local says the president has faced a barrage think it's safe to say over inviting vladimir putin for a second summit this year why your figures do you think in washington so against this happening is talking not better than not talking because the elites have pinned everything on the idea on this absolute fantasy which is undermined increasingly every day we saw it with the with the quarter page plays application this whole allegation this whole thing is built is a house built on sand but they can't let go because washington has to have an enemy mentality has to have an enemy to focus on because that's how tries to extort half of our wages from us every year to build the biggest military budget in the world i'm not sure how a failure with another story we're covering but let's just try to get your thoughts on it the white house is threatening to revoke the security clearances of i think six y

republican ron paul from texas. he matters somewhat. on is rand paul, the kentucky senator, nothing from him about this, by the way, and we need to expose it because the ugliness is contagious. the bs from paul resinates. it encourages more us versus them ugliness. like what? well, here's the proof. calling the cops on 12-year-old from mowing somebody else's lawn by mistake while working for a neighbor. like this lady calling the cops on this 8-year-old jordan for selling water in front of her own house. are you kidding me? are we this estranged? this disconnected? this anti that we're going after kids that we can't just go out and talk to, one, somebody who is your neighbor? of course this is true. this is where we are. how do we know? look at the border. now, i know some people say don't show it. it's ugly. don't encourage this kind of thing. don't give it the attention. if i do that, then i'm spreading it. no. i believe when you ignore, you empower. hate lives in shadows. it withers in the sunlight of truth and decency. that's why we

charles: it wasn't long ago there was a bubbling movement led by ron paul to abolish the fed. >> we do need a fed. but an independent fed. by the should be led with somebody with real economic background. mr. powell is leading off master plots. following this strict rule of four interest rate increases this year is silly. we are getting repeated evidence that inflation is very tame but for the price of oil. he can't influence the price of oil with monetary policy. charles: powell is not a classically trained economist? >> would you send someone who is not a classic all trained lawyer -- classically trained lawyer up to the supreme court? a lot of the inflationary brochures have to do with intricate problems in markets. talking about the price of oil and the effects of the tariffs. before this is over appliance prices may fall because lg is coming over here. these are not the sorts of things powell can talk about very easily. when he's asked basic questions about the yield curve he puts out stock answers. charles: he does understand financial markets better than carlisle. i'll make that

joining us tonight, presidential historian, former ron paul campaign adviser doug weed, also a memberyou with us. doug -- >> hi, lou. lou: i mean, as you hear this, we're hearing some of the biggest nonsense spewed from the mouths of governors and senators and congressmen that i can recall ever. and it's been, it's never been a high bar for them to overcome. but this is really something, isn't it? >> yeah, it is. and i'll tell you, if the democrat party embraces socialism -- which it looks like they might do -- [laughter] it'll be the kiss of death. [laughter] that isn't going to work. lou: yeah. they covertly, i guess, in a very stealthy way sort of embraced socialism. but now they're talking out how old about it. and it makes me, i mean, what do they really mean by socialism? they're giving everything away, free money, free whatever. and at the same time recommending that we not recognize our own borders and just, you know, let whoever wants to visit either visit or come in and take over. >> absolutely. and you're right, they've avoided the word. of course, we had a socialist party

. >> tonight on the story with martha maccallum, ron paul was asked about brennan and the prospect of having his security. >> now he is a talking head on the outside saying basically president trump should be executed. that's what we do for treason. so yeah, i am very concerned about him having privileges because of his past history. >> tonight a spokesperson for brennan shot back saying the former cia chief does not profit off his security clearance. but the white house is also exploring mechanisms to remove clearances from former fbi director james comey, former deputy fbi director andrew mccabe, former director of national intelligence james clapper, former national security advisor susan rice, and former cia director michael hayden. comey and mccabe reportedly no longer have security clearances. michael hayden, who also worked under president george w. bush, tweeted "i don't go back for classified briefings, won't have any effect on what i say or write." james clapper said this on cnn. listen. >> i think this is just a very, very petty, petty thing to do. that's about all i will s

the rebels who a day earlier claim to have attacked the international airport and in pakistan then ron paul and his party are nearing victory. in wednesday's general election with only a handful of seats still to be confirmed but he will need allies to form a government european observers in pakistan say all of the candidates did not have an even playing field so let's go live now to lahore and speak to the serious of some at the age of eight so samas we're talking about those observers they said that there was a lot of positive developments positive progress in the overall election process but they also said that in their estimation that everything was an uneven playing field in part because of violence in certain places i'm sure that that's a pretty big criticism of the process but also clearly the opposition party also has some criticisms of the process as well what are they say. well there are similarities that you can draw between these two statements that have been heard from both the main opposition party the buxom some you know laws as well as the e.u. observer mission observing the

ron paul, former texas congressman for years talk about this isolationist streak in america and tried to seize on that as he ran for president. it never got any kind of traction. the president is not couching it in ideological terms, but approaching it as a salesman bantering with no historiesical context about world war ii, fighting the soviet union mentioned in any of his deliberations. just as a sale, just as a negotiation. could that appeal to a base voter or independent who doesn't follow foreign policy closely or understand the fundamentals? perhaps it could. that's the president's gambit here. he believes he can reframe foreign policy on his terms. >> or does unpredictable and abusive work -- you heard it there, our nato allies have spent more this year. >> we're quibbling over dollars and cents when the entire structure of the nato alliance, by reducing germany's defense budget after world war ii, that was a strategic move to keep them from starting another war just as it was designed to tie germany's economic fortunes to the rest of europe. that was done very deliberately. th

[ ding ] -not today, ron. paul: u.s.a solid hiring pace in june with american businesses adding 213,000 jobs. the labor department said friday that the unemployment rate rose to 4% from 3.8, more people begin looking for work and not all of them found it. friday job's numbers coming on the same day that the trump administration began imposing tariffs on $34 billion worth of chinese goods. beijing retaliating with its own tariffs on american products including soybeans and cars. we are back with dan henninger, columnist mary o'grady and james freeman. mary, how strong is the u.s. economy right now? >> i think we are in a sweet spot here, not only the numbers that you mentioned but wages are moving up not as much as we would like to see them. they should be getting over 3% a year but they are at 2.7, good news. other good thing about the report is labor participation moved up a little bit. i think that's still a problem and as long as you have low-wage labor participation, i'm afraid that maybe that's going to hold back gr

especially with another ron paul. the republican party, i can't go becauseely republican there is so little compassion. systeme going to a blame versus maybe it is the policy themselves that is not working. right now i can't identify with a party. does that make you an independent right now? caller: yes. one of about 42% of americans identify as independent. that number is up three points from 2016 according to gallup polling on party identification. a three-point increase in independent identity in america is larger than gallup typically has seen in years after presidential elections. gallup polling noting that it usually goes up after presidential elections. that three-point increase is much higher than what has been average over the past three presidential elections. a two-point increase after the past three elections. chase from germantown, maryland, former democrat. good morning. caller: thank you c-span. let me say this topic of outsideon is refreshing of the normal everyday talk we have calling in. that last st

some of the primimaries of the two parties are--if you read that ron paul got x% and romney got y%, then they each get a certain number of delegates. that's proportional representation, and we've had that in elections in the united states, too, but we got rid of it. the europeans have it. so in germany when the die linke party got 12% of the vote, they get 12% of the seats in the parliament. so 12% of the people who are in the parliament are members of a party that believes that germany can do better than capitalism. highly successful, capipitalist economy produces a criticism, and if you get more than 5%, not only do you get your seats--and that's true in the laender, in the state legislatures, too--but you get something else. you get money from the government because the democratic idea in germany is if you get more than 5% of the people e interested in what you have to say, then itit is important that you have a platform in which to explain to people what your posititions ar, what your proposals are so that the population can make an informed vote, and so the government allocates mone

paul, i promised. i will now deliver on my promise. i am a person of my word. let me play rone santis's the candidate for governor in florida, his most recent campaign ad which is garnering campaign attention. >> everyone knows my husband ron de santis is endorsed my president trump. but he is also an amazing dad. ron loves playing with the kids. >> build a wall. >> he reads stories. >> then mr. trump said "you're fired", i love that part. >> he is teaching madison to taub. >> make america great again. >> people say ron is all trump. but he is so much more. >> big league. so good. >> i just thought you should know. >> ron de santis for governor. >> okay, paul. >> first, the kids are undeniably cute. >> exactly. >> congressman and his wife should be congrate lated for having beautiful children. here's the problem, if you were to kick donald trump in the butt you would hit the, about of ron's head. it is hue hilliating for a accomplished person. >> humiliating? >> a little bit of both. it is not the way i would have gone. they are trying to outtrump each other. i don't think the
