to discuss this further we go live now to daniel mick adams executive director of the ron paul peace institute welcome to the program now in your opinion where is the limit how far will washington and i apologize it looks like we're having a technical problem and we've lost our guest if we can we'll go back to him and later in the program. one of the malign activities you heard about earlier that's upsetting washington right now is supposedly russian hacking and microsoft claims it's thwarted a fresh attack the tech giant says the targets were the u.s. senate and conservative think tanks but mainstream outlets reporting on microsoft's findings rushed to draw their usual conclusion about who might ultimately be behind it all thames five russia to hack u.s. senate and conservative groups for hacking group affiliated with the russian government the russian military operation the intelligence operation the russian military intelligence unit earlier i spoke with r.t. as it goes down of who worked on the story for us. well basically what the companies saying they've seized control of from

ron paul, former texas congressman and host of the ron paul liberty report. dr. here. we have heard that mr. mcadams twitter account is back on. we tried to contact twitter. they have not returned our calls. have they made any attempt to explain their actions or apologize or to you or mr. mcadams? >> not to me. he was put back on there with some type of apology bit but i don't remember the wording. it was associated with a form of apology. that they put him back on. david: do you think it was mistake be or deliberate effort to silence you guys? >> i think, probably both. they're deliberately attacking, many libertarian conservative constitutionalists. that is common practice. they do make mistakes, they overshoot, daniel mcadams didn't tweet anything. he promoted something. somebody else said something he retweet he it. i guess his guilt level was lower, they decided they might be, maybe public pressure still helps because we did get some attention on the websites people like you and others talk about could they be targeting constitutionalists and libertarians, i

so the question is, i mean, look, ron paul -- i think he refused to take matching funds. he didn't want to take money from government. i wrote an essay saying, ron, take the money. better that you have it than the government has it. i don't think he did that. nobody ever listens to me. but the point is, if it was ron paul who was running a space thing and he took money from the government and and he used it for this purpose, i would say right on, ron, that's great, because you're a good guy. now the question comes is elon musk a good guy or a bad guy? if he was a good guy, he would be justified in taking money from the government, but if he's a bad guy, he's hand in hand with the government. we go over a whole bunch of elon musk's public statements. and, unfortunately, he doesn't pass the smell test. he is not a good guy. he's not a libertarian. and he recently, after the book was written he came out as an avowed socialist which is not a good idea. not a credit on his blotter. so we do have a chapter devoted to all of these people, and we say if they're taking money from g

so the -- ron paul issue think he refused to take matching funds because he didn't want to take money from government. i wrote an essay saying, ron, take the money. better you have than the government. but i don't think he did that. the point is itself was ron paul who was running a space thing me and took -- he took money from the government and used it for this purpose, i would say, right on, ron, because year good guy. now the question comes, is elon musk good guy or bad guy? if he is a good buy he would be justified taking money from the government. if he asia bag guy, he is just if he is a bad guy, it's hand in hand with the go so we dover elon musk's public statements and hunts do pass the smell test. not a good guy, not a libertarian and after the book was written, came out an as avowed socialist, which is not a good idea, not a credit on his blotter. we have a chapter destroyed all these people and say if they're ick i money from government are the on the good side or the bad side of the ledger? >> host: do you deal with should there be any regulation of space travel at all. >

congressman dr ron paul thank you for your time and your comments. here. another day another hacking scandal now the us democratic party has claimed its detected an attempt to hack its voter database with elections just a few months away this is just further proof that there are constant threats as we head into the midterm elections and we must remain vigilant in order to prevent future attacks. live now to our washington correspondents america come from or it's the mirror all's not what it first seemed to the democratic party correct yes well at first it looked like just another meddling story in the endless stream of meddling reports that we've come across lately and the democratic party said that it had detected an attempt to hack its voter base and of course total panic ensued in the media check it out d.n.c. just confirmed n.b.c. news it has alerted authorities to an attempted it of their voter file and the takeaway really is is this continues to be a major issue democratic party's voter database targeted with a sophisticated hacking attempt to target

he conveniently forgot about democrats getting elected because of candidates like ross perot or ron paul. another issue brought up was having the states decide individually about how they were going to run their state as far as electoral votes. if we had had that option hundred years ago, the civil war might not of took place. correction for the lady: about 60,000 people died in the civil war, she forgot zero, it was 600,000. host: the topic of foreign aid being discussed with the trump administration and the office of management and budget struck to the state department and the u.s. agency for international development earlier this month ofprovide a balance sheet foreign aid projects that are not been funded unless commerce intervenes, the money may be returned to the u.s. treasury and the end of the fiscal year on september 30, a scramble is on to allocate the money before the administration announces he expected change, which would freeze billions of dollars left in the story as is not unusual for large chunks of money to be unspent as the fiscal year winds to a close and this year th

former advisor to congressman ron paul says that the upcoming midterm election in the u.s. is basically bold the big a referendum on. this election like most but this one especially this midterm elections upcoming in the united states is not going to be about ideas it's up to decree going to be about policy there's a very anti intellectual mood in the country right now there's really three parties in the united states right now there's the trunk party there's the. trump or non trump republicans which is sort of the remnants of the old george w. bush reagan era party and then there's the democrats democrats have lots of problems and divisions among them but they're all united in their hatred and that's not so much an intellectual exercise as it is a referendum on him and this device of having a spear we have in america. one palestinians being killed and over two hundred injured in the latest unrest on the israeli border the health ministry in gaza claims that almost one hundred of the injured were wounded by israeli defense forces a campaign to protest the israeli occupation

congressman ron paul he told us social media outlets are too close to the government something that couldinfluence the public seems that is a real mix bad the social media in one sense is a real delight there's a lot of information out there i have benefited by but it rejuvenated with a lot of government assistance in the biggest role the social networks play is working with the government and giving the government the information they do the work for the n.s.a. so it's a mixed bag or they call themselves a private company the libertarian so we don't regulate private companies. and yet it's so mixed in empire law is the truth is treason so when people blurred out the treason on the internet it's not like they're saying something mean and ugly. things challenging the status quo is what they can't stand and they're nervous them so they have to silence people so it's more likely for an individual like myself to be silenced because i represent a challenge to the status quo but if anybody understands our first amendment the first amendment isn't there to talk about whether the first amendment

congressman ron paul good to have you gone wrong let's start with this issue then of sanctions the use insisting that it will back you firms that are dealing with iran is this going to cause a widening rift between the u.s. and the. well i would think so there's a big question there i can't imagine it not already haven't done that but so far you know there's been a lot of bluster and i think one problem is that the united states is still pretty powerful they have the currency for the reserve currency of the world powerful currency powerful military a lot of wealth and we can throw a weight around so even if the europeans feel put upon and attacked by the sanctions that we put on iran i think they they need to get some backbone but but it's a big beef about all this is i just don't like sanctions because it leads to problems like this and that's that's really where the problem is and right now i don't know whether the the europeans will stick to their guns because what if they get threatened some of these big companies may be threatened then the do some business with the united states b
