Hello, everybody, and thank you for tuning into the Liberty Report.

With us today, we have Daniel McAdams, our co-hosts.

Daniel, welcome to the program.

Good morning, Dr. Paul.

How are you this morning?

Very good, very good.

But, you know, we didn't have to look too hard about what is a big item in the news today,

and it's what was in the news yesterday and probably the day before that has a little bit to do

with you know politics that are involved we have to talk about our president that you could tell me

who really is the president right now and then we also have to deal with what's going on in

Syria of course so but anyway there's a's going on in Syria, of course.

So, but anyway, there's a lot going on.

It offers us a chance to make our points that America is better off if we mind our own business.

But I wish I could say that's what it looks like.

Every once in a while, I hear a message coming from the yet to be sworn in president.

And he's, you know, saying the right thing is we should try to stay out of wars or this sort of thing.

But it's a little more complicated in that because it looks like it's getting to be very serious.

And I want to just start off by quoting a sentence

from a zero hedge today. And the heading is Trump tells Putin to agree to a media ceasefire in Ukraine

after Syria's Assad ousted. But that is a big issue. But it also, you know, invites this whole idea that,

you know, that it's almost like the inauguration has occurred and Trump is speaking for the people

in a way that there is some truth to that, even though it's not technically that way.
