well should the United States end the Federal Reserve once and for all yes the FED it's what Congressman Dr Ron Paul has been calling for uh he says it's the source of all of our problems in the United States well vice presidential candidate JD Vance was asked this very question the other day last week and he said he's not really a Ron Paul guy but he is now coming around to this idea of ending the FED watch I've kind of come around to the Ron Paul argument I don't fully agree with it but the criticism of the federal Reserve that makes the most sense to me is that it gives massive corporations a lower cost of money than the average American well then Dr Paul tweeted this message saying hey we'd love to talk about it let's actually have a conversation JD so did that conversation happen will we actually End the Fed Can America recover from this nearly $36 trillion in debt right now let's ask former presidential candidate and Congressman Dr Ron Paul and one of my personal Heroes by the way Dr Paul welcome back to the show great to see you thank you Clayton good to be with you so you've first of all I just got to ask did you speak with JD Vance has he had a conversation a phone call or anything with you about this idea of ending the FED has he taken that up with you or uh is he a little too busy right now running for pres running for vice president actually not but uh it's still the the little connection that we had uh was very valuable because uh I guess there were a lot of people out there I was fascinated with the idea I I was surprised that that many people looked at the so-called conversation we had but no he did not respond uh di directly uh to me but we we sent an acknowledgement that uh we appreciated you know what's happening and we want to follow up because uh you know I think this is where I see openings when I see people say well no I especially when they say you know I was n into this I didn't care that much but all of a sudden you know that's a real encouraging thing that's not to expect that he will be with us on on this issue very quickly and the political position one holds you know uh depends on exactly how you phrase it and uh I think that uh uh you know was very very beneficial and it exposed uh uh this discussion to a lot of people and I was surprised how people paid attention and those who said yes Ron should talk to them you know so right that's the way get started but but one week before a major election uh maybe they don't want to take any risk but but I I thought I thought it was pretty neat and uh I I was actually surprised that there there was that much attention to it because I'm I've been used to over the years to take it as it comes along and always figuring there will be new people coming in and uh there was a time before I was in Congress or before I even ran for congress I I would speak out on the money issue and go to college campus and I used to think 15 or 20 people that's pretty good you know but but but the impression thing is later on many of them worked for me and it it wasn't as foolish as it seemed at the time uh you plant seeds the way I look at it well in our live stream we do the show live every day and I'll I'll see thousands of comments from people saying End the Fed End the Fed so your message your message is getting out there for our audience that maybe doesn't understand what the Federal Reserve does um can you talk about what the Federal Reserve is and how you've repeatedly said that the FED makes us poor while funding these endless us Wars whether it's in Afghanistan whether it's in Iraq whether it's in Ukraine whether it's in Israel right now so what exactly is the fed and how is it keeping us in this Perpetual state of poverty well technically called a central bank the bank is owned by the government or run by the government and the argument about the the central banks and this kind of power you give to a few people has been going on since the Inception of the country because Hamilton and Jefferson argued over this Jefferson said no way we shouldn't do this and Hamilton started the first bank that didn't last it was finally finished they tried a second bank and Jackson got rid of that but they have all this power and even those early one the very the first bank that was started uh by Hamilton you know was uh you know like the FED because they were they were allowed of hold money H government money but they were allowed of print money too you know they Fiat money immediately and it didn't work out quite the way they claim and so the the fuss has been going on a long time and uh it's a secret body of people that meet that even when I was in Congress and a ranking member on the Banking Committee I was never permitted to go and know the uh I know what exactly they talk about or how they establish monetary policy but it's a gimick it's it's a gimmick it's a gimmick that is designed to help their special friends it's amazing you're on the Banking Committee you're not allowed to know what they're talking about so they're unelected they're unelected and they drive all of the monetary policy for the United States it's it's sickening and of course we look now at the national debt of the United States we you know $36 trillion is there a way that we can recover from this at this at this point is there a way that we could uh I mean go cold turkey somehow return to a gold standard I mean are we able to come back from this well you know this problem has been around for longer even the history of our country because all the way back to Roman times but uh it always ends it ends badly because a lot of people will be cheated and they'll go bankrupt but uh to do it gracefully like getting more members of Congress to vote in in and gradually just uh shrink the FED no way it's not going to happen uh but why he say well why' you waste all that time you know talking about because it'll end it's going to end itself and the big question is what are you going to replace it with Co the marxists like it because they want chaos they want excessive spending they want chaos in the streets they want these wars to agitate us and then they will come in with their Marxism that they really want to uh promote so that that is a very very strong scheme that we have to overcome and that effort has been going on for a long time so I would say that uh to eliminate it uh gradually is not H going to happen when it ends though that's why we have to have a replacement for it and uh there's a lot of good history about it our early history they tried it with the Continental dollar they tried it with the the National Banks early on and they tried it with the Federal Reserve but right now I would say in the last well now it's more like 30 40 years there's been a Revival of an interest in it this I I began to get involved in wanting to speak out more was in 1971 when it was the determined that uh you know that uh the brenon woods agreement where we would back the currency at $35 an ounce for foreigners we weren't even allowed to own the gold and uh we limped along but in 1971 we wouldn't even honor our commitment to foreigners so it was a declaration of uh of bankruptcy and since that time the problems have developed right now where you know when the FED took over gold was $20 an ounce and that means that the ratio uh It Isn't So Much the price of gold that moves it's the devaluation of the currency so in the the ratio was $20 to an ounce then $35 an ounce and then it was in limbo for a long time and then it finally got legalized in the 70s and it's 1975 we were once again given the given the freedom to own gold again which means that they open up like uh like a big ball opening up and it went from $35 an ounce all the way at back then it went to $800 which was a huge jump but now it's at $2,700 and it's going to go a lot higher because we live in these dangerous times uh I think a couple things have to be looked at one is you have to have a uh a unit of account you know a dollar had been in our early years in spite of the shortcomings and the bad moves that they were doing it there was a certain uh weight of silver and a weight of gold and that kept a check on on the size and scope of government but after World War II we gained the status and it was not done by just accident we gained the status of owning and and operating the uh uh you know Reserve currency of the world which means the world was starting to accept our dollar and we took advantage of that we became very powerful the finances uh our military industrial complex and now the medical industrial complex and on and on so the bubble is huge but the system is going to collapse it's a there's signs now that the Alternatives the people who are planning trying to plan and take over the Dollar's position as a reserve currency they're getting more active and that will happen but probably not next week or next month but this system is is going to end but we need a definition of the unit of account is the is the biggest thing and then we have to deal with the Federal Reserve because uh that is that's a taxing agency it's a it's a what what they do is they counterfeit the money and uh they serve the special interest and so you have the welfare Warfare State and that encourages the growth of government and that's what's that is what the big issue is but you the thing that bothers me Clayton is you know we have this great debate going on about uh about the people in in the election who who's the uh who who's the ugly who has the ugliest uh supporters so they go on do this and they don't talk about the issues we're talking about right now because that's the issue why do is this government so big and why do we have less Liberty that we do anything about it the answer is is we know exactly how it's caused we know exactly what has to be done but the people have to understand it and be willing to do the things that you need to have sound money and get the government out of our lives and out of our wallet and out of other countries now you bring up a great point and I think the candidates mostly haven't touched on this issue certainly on the Democratic side on the Communist side the Marxist side side really they love the expansion of government as big as we can possibly make the size of this government uh on the Trump side you certainly have had Elon Musk recently and of course Donald Trump saying he was going to appoint him as some sort of like slashing of the budget Zar inside the government slashing perhaps $2 trillion doar out of the government but on the other hand you've had Trump praising the fact that he's expanded the size and scope of the US Military and you talk about the military industrial complex so it's made all of those people very very happy all of the all of the bomb makers and all of the war mongers in Congress and in Washington who love the expansion of the military so do you think that definitely not kamla Harris going to shrink the size of government but do you think that Trump maybe having Elon Musk in there is going to actually shrink the size of government and cut the budget probably not I think the effort is sincere I think musk is sincere but uh an individual can't do it you know the the deficit is too big the debt is too big and all the mistakes the M investment are are are are too great so they uh they will self-destruct and so you have to eliminate that to get growth to work again and uh you can do this either way you can declare bankruptcy quit spending and get rid of the fed and all that but the people wouldn't tolerate it I mean can you imagine if you say uh if you know Rand my son ran he tried to you know cut a penny out of the budget out of everything in the budget and a nickel a dime and they won't accept anything and uh so because they if if H if they if there's a budget presentation for a dollar you know a dollar on something they say well we want to cut one penny out of it that they won't do that because by that time the the inflationary process says it's not a dollar anymore it's a dollar t so you can't cut anything from from Dollar 10 you have to deal with the monetary policy because that is the tax and the tax is uh most people don't realize it and the Democrats get away with it and the Republicans who want the wars that uh it's deceitful it's an evil tax it's put on the average person the wealthy are not hit especially in the early parts of the destruction of a currency and they get away with it because they can get the money first and they can become very wealthy over it but uh eventually though uh the people get higher prices and one thing they don't realize is uh I've heard it so many times and this tells you that the educational system this country is in bad shape they'll come up and say well we have a problem we know you're sincere and you're trying to help but uh you know I'm going to the grocery store I don't have any enough money to buy my groceries which is true and they're suffering the consequence because they were taxed you said well no they we don't want T put more taxes on the poor people the middle class what we do but what what we do take away the value of the currency so if you uh and and they lie through their teeth about how much the dollar is devalued and that's the inflation so if prices going up 10 10 10% or more that means there has been an extraction of purchasing power so they're they and but the people who come to the Congress say we need more money and they and and they say well we better do that everybody has to have education everybody has to have medical care and we have to save the world we have to take care of the poor ukrainians and the and the and the people in the Middle East and everything else but that means it's inevitable there's going to be a major major reassessment of all this and that's why the effort that I spent on is recognizing this and when I did the presidential races I was so impressed with so many young people on college campuses that were open to the this libertarian message and even when I would our I said you know uh in this system you there wouldn't be an income tax there wouldn't be an inflation and uh and but the one thing that you have to realize is you can keep what you earn and and uh and and uh and they I thought I thought uh the thing that they would be hang hung up on would I said but then you have all this Freedom it's very good and very prosperous but if your freedom if you take your freedom and you squander it or you make a mistake or there's some problem you can't go to the government and uh and they they cheered on that as much as the message they they the people wanted to hear the message but they wanted to at least hear it and they were willing to accept it because right now you know that would be a wonderful choice to have that all I have to do because quite frankly the answer to who who's going to take the people in need well did did the government take care of all the people who just suffered from the hurricane no a lot of private Services went in there and not did a whole lot of things so no it it it would be taken care of the country would be wealthier you know employment would be better you you wouldn't have the inflationary tax so I I don't I don't think there's any downside to arguing the case for Liberty right more wealth in the country more people Neighbors being able to help neighbors the growth of the economy and removing this debt burden you've heard president Trump talk about uh he's at least floated the idea of eliminating the federal income tax uh which sort of sent a shock wave through the internet I don't know he's going to stick to that or not but when he sent that kind of shock wave it was I know you've been advocate advocating for that do you think that there's any hope that President Trump would actually do that eliminate the income tax uh he might try but that's not going to happen they W because if they didn't have the income tax uh you know they uh it would be just so disruptive but I say but I would would do it but it's they're not going to do it because too many people would be hurt especially especially the special interest the military industrial conflict what what would you do if you didn't have income tax for the government to pass all out all these favors so it's it's it's not go it's not going to happen and uh it should have never been put in place and uh I think the I think the income tax as well as uh the uh conscription for military is an indication that is uh you know a slavery type issue it's involuntary servitude because when you have if you accept this income tax even a little bit even a dollar that means the government owns your income that owns your you know your efforts and uh and then the government tells you what you can keep and it it is too big and uh just the hint of that would drive people crazy because what would the because the the the real decisions made in Washington come from you know a band of people who have Financial control just think of H who was it behind getting Biden to drop out of the race it was the special interest that picked out some powerful Democratic incumbents to go there and tell him he had to leave so there's a lot and those were the moneyed interests there would be bankers military people and the whole work so uh no I think we should talk about it I think I like to talk about it mainly to make it a moral issue and show show that is a it is a tax and the poor people suffer the most so they care about social discourse and the problems that we have now they have to get rid of this uh income tax but you have to get rid of the incentive for big government and that's where the problem is right the massive military-industrial complex the biopharmaceutical complex all of them that rely on this federal income tax as these favors the sort of money laundering scheme but I I agree with you I think it is a form of modern day slavery uh we don't talk about it in those moral terms I think if more people understood that um and the same people that support the expansion of government that have been lied to for so many years we could really make some Headway you know Dr Paul I'll get you out of here on this which is you mentioned kind of multiple times as we've been talking that there's really no coming back from this 35 36 trillion debt that it's going to collapse is that your position that we see the rise of bricks we see these company these countries now abandoning the US dollar we're really seeing the collapse of the Britain Woods agreements um from many many years ago and really this sort of repositioning of the the the international order right now this new world order where these compan these countries These Bricks currency countries are saying we're done being sort of bullied by the IMF the World Bank the US dollar as the reserve currency we're going to go our own way do you think it's inevitable that the US dollar collapses and is no longer the world's Reserve currency to one degree but I don't know if that would eliminate the concept of a dollar there uh the British went broke and uh they lost the reserve status but there's still a pound you know floating around getting into Mischief so uh it wouldn't do it but the Dollar's uh position in the world today as the king pin and the uh the central you know the the the monetary the money of the world you know this that that will end but the $35 trillion dollar uh we have to deal with it but it will be liquidated so we don't have to worry about we're in the process of liquidating it right now because the dollar is always worth less and less but think of a if if the government owns $ 35 trillion dollar and you reduce the value of the currency by 20% the debt goes down by 20% you know because the dollars you pay it back with and that's why some people like to borrow money long term and then pay back the mortgages you know with cheaper money so the the liquidation is going on uh right now and the government benefits from this because real debt actually goes down but uh one way or the other it'll be liquidated I'm just arguing that it won't be liquidated by taxing people and taking more money from them and start paying it off that that's not going to happen but uh that's why what is important is what are you going to do about it how are you going to compete are you going to have a sound money and the encouraging thing is uh I don't think our our country is cons given any serious consideration to it but uh a lot of other countries these bricks and other people are talking about using gold not the gold standard that I might design but at least they're introducing that idea but you know they're going to have to uh check with bernacki because you know when I ask him I says it's gold money he says it's not money so uh but I I said what are you going to do reverse history 6,000 years of History it's been money so no it it uh the market Will the Market will take care of it the market is demanding it already there is a liquidation going on but it's a terrible price to pay and the worst part is the uh is the conflict between uh you know economic uh groups the rich and the poor versus the poor and right now the the propaganda is controlled by the rich and therefore they stir up trouble so that the poor just demands more and more of the of the system that uh that caused all of trouble like I said they don't have enough money give me more money so I can pay my bills and that just that's that's putting gasoline on the fire I know I said I get you out of here a second ago I just got to ask you about the election here before we go what do you think we are going to see over the next few months you know election day just a few days away and then all the months before we have an inauguration what is your sense about around being around Washington DC of course your son in the Senate Rand Paul what do you what do you see is going to happen over the next few months well it's hard to say and I don't go out on a limb on talking about this but but uh the environment is is uh very Rocky because uh it depends on what the result of the election is uh I I think the polls that show that Trump is going to win uh I believe in them but what what if the rigging is even more than Las go around uh I mean there could be there could be a lot of political discourse with that and uh I would I wouldn't be surprised about that but I'm not predicting that at the end of the month the the streets will be all in riots but uh they they uh they have been pretty Rocky here the last couple years anyway and we've had this episode of The covid Crisis and that sort of thing so I wouldn't be surprised if you have this because if if Trump wins like most people think you know the opposition is still in charge of a lot of things and they are going to do something whatever they can uh to make uh the incoming president as miserable as they possibly can and there may be some uh I would be surprised about you know some dist actions you know some real crisis more uh uh more uh epidemics more Wars maybe the maybe the uh the war that is expanding always trying to expand you know in Ukraine now the Koreans are in Russia what are we going to do about it so there's all this room for just expanding the crisis and the people would say well this isn't the time to cut to spending this is the time for us to tighten our belt and get ready for the big war and that's what obviously we're trying to prevent such a smart Point yes those people even if Trump wins are still in charge and they made life miserable for him after he won the last time and the outgoing Obama administration basically sabotaged I mean even talking talking about offices and computers and everything in the executive branch it was it was an absolute disaster it's probably going to be much worse this time Dr Paul great to see you as always um and I encourage people to check out all of your work um it's and by the way read your book everyone should read your book on ending the FED um just such an important discussion to be having right now as we Barrel towards the disaster of the US dollar decline
