On today’s Ron Paul Liberty Report:

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu released a video yesterday attacking the student protests in the US against Israel’s actions in Gaza and demanding that US authorities crack down on those exercising free speech. House Speaker Mike Johnson echoed Netanyahu’s condemnation of the protesters and called for the National Guard to be sent in. Has he ever heard of “Kent State”? Also… Texas governor Gregg Abbott sent troops to crack heads at a University of Texas protest. Free speech on the ropes?

No one takes the story seriously, and it just prompts critics to call out the pointless lying.

On today’s Ron Paul Liberty Report:

NATO’s purpose – if it ever had one – is now long since passed. The Cold War has ended and the over-blown scare of global communism has receded. So what is NATO’s purpose in our era? Is it time for a radical restructuring? Also today – the Ukraine aid bill will likely be signed into law today and the military-industrial bonanza will be on. But will more weapons make a difference? Finally – is Trump secretly mad at Speaker Johnson?
