Ron Paul

GOLD TELEGRAPH CONVERSATION 22: DR. RON PAUL "If you had gold, we would have no debt. We wouldn't be in war. There would be no welfare state.” In this wide-ranging conversation, Dr. Ron Paul delivers a stark warning about America's $40 trillion debt crisis, why he believes a historic monetary reset is inevitable, and how decades of Federal Reserve policy could fundamentally reshape the future of the U.S. dollar. We explore the consequences of abandoning the gold in 1971, why central banks continue to hold gold, the growing risks of inflation, and why Ron believes the international monetary system is approaching another historic turning point. Ron reflects on his involvement in the U.S. Gold Commission, his famous exchange with former Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke, and why he has spent decades fighting for greater transparency surrounding America's monetary system. We also discuss Fort Knox, his son Senator Rand Paul's recent visit to the facility, why he continues to demand an independent audit of America's gold reserves, and his warning that the country's enormous debt burden will ultimately be liquidated through the destruction of the currency. Beyond monetary policy, Ron reflects on his remarkable life, his decades in Congress, the lessons he learned about political power in Washington, and why he believes sound money, individual liberty, and personal freedom are fundamentally connected. Dr. Ron Paul is a former 12-term U.S. Congressman, three-time presidential candidate, physician, author, and one of the most recognizable advocates of sound money and individual liberty. He is the host of the Ron Paul Liberty Report. Thank you for joining me @RonPaul.
