The CIA has been forced to declassify some 270 memos from its secret torture facilities in Afghanistan. The story these memos tell is horrific and jolting. The people tortured were not terrorists. They were suspects. Some may say this is all ancient history, but consider the current president’s view on torture. He said he’s torture in a heartbeat. Are we still “torturing some folks”?

Trump’s 70-Point Immigration Reform – Here’s A Better Way
by Daniel McAdams | Oct 9, 2017 | The Liberty Report
President Trump has unveiled his 70-point plan for immigration reform, which includes a massive public works project, “the wall” and a thousand more armed Federal agents on the street. The plan will also make the federal employment eligibility database known as “e-Verify” mandatory. Will Trump’s plan help secure the US borders against those who would enter illegally, or do both sides in the immigration debate miss the real point? Tune in to today’s Liberty Report:
Ron Paul: The Revolution At Ten Years
by Daniel McAdams | Oct 6, 2017 | The Liberty Report
Why was December 16, 2007 such an important date? It was the day when a grassroots group launched a mock Boston Tea Party money bomb in support of Ron Paul’s Republican presidential campaign. The fundraiser broke all online records at the time and suddenly everyone was talking about the Ron Paul Revolution. As we approach the tenth anniversary of that fateful day, Ron Paul has written a new book, The Revolution at Ten Years, taking a look back to those times, but more importantly taking a very sober look at where the spirit of the Revolution is today…and where it’s going. We discuss the Revolution and the new book in today’s Liberty Report. Don’t miss the special offer at the end of the program!
USA LIBERTY Act – Making Spying On You Permanent
by Daniel McAdams | Oct 5, 2017 | The Liberty Report
With Section 702 of the FISA Amendments Act set to expire at the end of the year, Congress is scurrying to find a way to preserve the post-9/11 authority for the government to conduct mass surveillance of US citizens’ communications. They have come up with another Orwellian bill, the USA LIBERTY Act, which would fix none of Fourth Amendment problems of the original bill but would make the original unconstitutional bill permanent. So “Liberty” to Congress is a mass surveillance state. The Cato Institute’s Patrick Eddington joins today’s Liberty Report to discuss 702 and its possible replacement bill:
Cuba’s ‘Sonic Weapons’ – Real Or Imagined?
by Daniel McAdams | Oct 4, 2017 | The Liberty Report
The Trump Administration has just expelled several Cuban diplomats in Washington and suspended visas for Cubans wishing to visit the United States over reports that US embassy personnel in Havana have been attacked by some kind of mystery “sonic weapon” that is leaving them everything from dizziness and hearing loss to brain damage. Are the Cubans really attacking American diplomats? Could the maladies be caused by some kind of virus? And who benefits by pushing the story? Our take in today’s Liberty Report:

by Daniel McAdams | Sep 28, 2017 | The Liberty Report

Trump Says ‘No’ To Catalan Independence
by Daniel McAdams | Sep 27, 2017 | The Liberty Report
The Catalan push for independence from Spain appears to be part of a larger European — and possibly worldwide — movement away from larger, more distant governance and toward more local control. Elsewhere in Europe, the old order is slowly breaking down. New parties find success in German elections, Hungary continues to defy Brussels on immigration, talk of secession on all levels increases. Will the referendum in Catalonia take place as scheduled, or will the central government successfully crack down? Will a crack-down eliminate the growing demand for independence? What’s the US position? More in today’s Liberty Report…
Kurd Independence Vote – Progress Or Danger?
by Daniel McAdams | Sep 26, 2017 | The Liberty Report
The US was strongly opposed to Monday’s independence referendum in Iraqi Kurdistan, as were the countries in the region. The US wanted to manage the Kurds’ relationship with Baghdad, but it did not work out the way Washington’s planners hoped. How did we get to the point? To a large degree due to the US invasion of Iraq. Will the vote result in smaller government and more freedom for Kurds in the region? Or will it mean war? And what about oil flow?

Defense Secretary Mattis: US Cannot Survive On ‘Puny’ Military Budget
by Daniel McAdams | Sep 21, 2017 | The Liberty Report
Defense Secretary Mattis is worried about the military budget. No, he’s not worried that spending a total of more than a trillion dollars a year on the military might bankrupt the country and thus make us more vulnerable to outside forces with ill intent. He’s worried that our very survival depends on even more money for the military and no more yearly budget “fights” on funding the military. Even though Congress gave him even more than he requested, he’s worried. But what about the policy? What is the proper US role in the world a quarter of a century after the end of the Cold War? Some “realists” are longing for the days of the Cold War, where America ruled the roost. Today in the Liberty Report:
Scandal: The Pentagon’s $2 Billion Underground Syria Weapons Pipeline
by Daniel McAdams | Sep 18, 2017 | The Liberty Report
Why is the Pentagon spending billions of dollars purchasing Soviet and east European weapons to ship to Syrian rebels? A blockbuster Bulgarian investigative report exposes the lies and illegality of the purchases and shipments; several mainstream investigations corroborate the Bulgarian report. Investigative Reporter Dilyana Gaytandzhieva joins the Liberty Report to explain her findings — and why they got her interrogated and fired:
The Neocon Case Against The Iran Nuclear Deal – One Big Lie!
by Daniel McAdams | Sep 14, 2017 | The Liberty Report
Why does President Trump listen to Nikki Haley and the neocons when it comes to Iran? Doesn’t he know they are always wrong? Trump has been consistent in his animosity toward Iran and especially the Iran deal, but why? Haley claims that Iran gave up nothing for the deal, but that is just not true. Does Trump think the rest of the world is going to follow the US if the US pulls out of the agreement? Or if the US attacks Iran? Tune in to today’s Liberty Report:
