US neocons Sen. Marco Rubio (R-FL), Vice President Pence, and National Security Advisor John Bolton were all itching to see the Maduro government arrest US-appointed “president” of Venezuela Juan Guaido when he returned from his tour of US-friendly Latin American countries. They had all sprung a trap and it all depended on the Venezuelan government arresting Guaido. But Maduro did not fall for the bait. This is the second US coup attempt that has failed in the last month. What will be the neocons’ V-Coup 3.0? Tune in to today’s Liberty Report:

by Daniel McAdams | Mar 4, 2019 | The Liberty Report

'Sometimes You Have To Walk' – Trump/Kim Summit A Failure? Whose Fault?
by Daniel McAdams | Feb 28, 2019 | The Liberty Report
The media is gloating today over the “failed” Trump/Kim summit. Was the summit really a failure? If so, who is at fault? The media and pundits as usual get it wrong. It was both a success and a failure, but not for the reasons they are reporting. Tune in to today’s Liberty Report for our reasoning…
Trump Talks Peace With Taliban – Will Neocons Go Nuts?
by Daniel McAdams | Feb 27, 2019 | The Liberty Report
While all eyes are on the Trump/Kim talks in Hanoi, the US Administration is continuing peace talks with Afghanistan’s Taliban in Qatar. Will the US withdraw all troops from Afghanistan in exchange for Taliban promises to keep fighting ISIS and al-Qaeda? Tune in to today’s Liberty Report:
US/North Korea Summit: Will Trump Win Nobel Peace Prize?
by Daniel McAdams | Feb 26, 2019 | The Liberty Report
Tomorrow President Trump will meet for the second time with North Korean leader Kim Jong-Un. They meet in Hanoi, Vietnam, where some 50 years ago a bitter and futile war was fought. While Trump’s enemies in the US are creating unrealistic expectations in hopes of making Trump look bad if he does not achieve a full surrender of North Korean nuclear capabilities, what would a successful summit look like to reasonable people? Can Trump pull it off? Tune in to today’s Liberty Report:
Half-A-Cheer For Supremes’ Civil Asset Forfeiture Ruling
by Daniel McAdams | Feb 21, 2019 | The Liberty Report
Yesterday’s Supreme Court ruling on civil asset forfeiture – that states are bound by the Eighth Amendment – may be a step in the right direction, but it’s only a baby step. Police are still free to steal from individuals not even accused of a crime, let alone convicted of a crime. They are just now told to not steal too much. The real issue that needs to be addressed is that the government should not be able to steal from the people. It’s that simple. A break down of the ruling and what it means in today’s Liberty Report:
Iraq Lies Redux: Trump Admin Claims Iran/al-Qaeda Alliance
by Daniel McAdams | Feb 20, 2019 | The Liberty Report
In an astonishing Washington Times article this week, unnamed Trump Administration officials (who may or may not be called “John Bolton”) are claiming that Iran, which has been battling al-Qaeda in Syria for nearly four years, is actually secretly allied with al-Qaeda and therefore Iran can be attacked with no further Congressional authorization. Are we seeing the old “babies thrown from incubators” lies resurrected to gin up a war with Iran? Warning lights in today’s Liberty Report:
Whistling Past NATO’s Graveyard, With Special Guest Tom Luongo
by Daniel McAdams | Feb 19, 2019 | The Liberty Report
The recent Warsaw and Munich summits have proven disastrous to Trump’s foreign policy as pursued by his neocon top advisors. They were supposed to line up for war on Iran and further isolation of Russia and China, yet none of the war bugles sounded. Have the Europeans had enough of “US global dominance”? Geopolitical analyst Tom Luongo joins today’s Liberty Report:
Medium Is The Message: Ilhan Omar, Social Media, And Making News
by Daniel McAdams | Feb 14, 2019 | The Liberty Report
Democratic US Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN) set off a firestorm on Sunday with a one-line Tweet on a third rail topic. The aftermath continues four days later. Canadian philosopher and public intellectual Marshal McLuhan famously observed that “the medium is the message.” How is messaging changing with the advent of such radically different mediums? Is news/reality accelerating? Ludwig von Mises Institute President Jeff Deist joins the discussion…in today’s Liberty Report:
House Yemen Vote Today: What’s Pelosi’s Goal?
by Daniel McAdams | Feb 13, 2019 | The Liberty Report
Where former Speaker Paul Ryan even broke House rules (and possibly the law) refusing to allow a War Powers challenge to Trump’s alliance with Saudi Arabia to destroy Yemen, current Speaker Nancy Pelosi is allowing the measure to the Floor for a vote today. It is expected to pass by a large margin. Has the House finally turned against such dumb wars? Unfortunately that would not be a correct conclusion to draw. More in today’s Liberty Report:
From Berlin To Baghdad, Trump Foreign Policy In Tatters
by Daniel McAdams | Feb 12, 2019 | The Liberty Report
The Trump Administration is twisting arms in Europe and in the Middle East in its ongoing determination to crush Iran. It seems a singular obsession. But the push-back is coming from and EU that remains (for now) dedicated to the Iran nuclear deal and from places like Iraq, which is being asked to act against its own interest to please Washington’s Iran goals. Is it all coming apart? Tune in to today’s Liberty Report:
Walter Jones – Hero Of Peace
by Daniel McAdams | Feb 11, 2019 | The Liberty Report
Rep. Walter Jones (R-NC), who died yesterday, was a towering giant when it came to honesty and integrity. He broke the cardinal rule of Washington: he listened to his conscience, admitted he was wrong about the Iraq war, and dedicated his life to making amends for his vote for the war. He stepped across the aisle to work with Democrats – and with anyone who resisted the lies of the warmongers. We remember the great Walter Jones in today’s Liberty Report:
