Hello, everybody, and thank you for tuning in to the Liberty Report. With us today, we have

Daniel McAdams, our co-host. Daniel, welcome to the program. Good morning, Dr. Paul. We're in a little

bit of a weird situation, but I think we'll make do. Right. Very busy days and weeks. And there's

very busy days for our president he stays busy and i was just

contemplating and thinking you know he's a powerful person there is no doubt about it and uh he

has a tendency to intimidate people so he has a lot of clout, which, you know, it's good. When a person is

promoting libertarian ideas, we get excited. And he does on occasion. We get excited about that.

But other times, things happen that aren't exactly libertarian. There was a headline, Daniel, that we looked at today from Zero Hedge.

Oil rips as Trump reduces Russia's 50-day deadline for peace deal with Ukraine.

And, you know, in the old days, you know, let's say Biden said that.

Who would care or who would say anything? Probably

not much of anything. But that's a different story at this moment. So who, but what did it happen?

Since this morning, we woke up, we found out that he went and changed the deadline.

Where did you get all this power to give this deadlines i don't think that's what the founders intended when they

acknowledged that uh that tariffs were permissible terrorists now any old time for political reasons

whatever and then also sanctions is a, very powerful power going on.

Fortunately right now, things are going along superficially, very, very calmly.

But underneath, it's very bad because each of these things that are going on,

and we've talked about this endlessly, it's all costing

money when we're involved overseas and involved with Ukraine.

We helped to start it, and all of a sudden, Ukraine comes up at this late stage when they're

losing the war.
