It’s been said that “He who has the gold, makes the rules.” That never applied more to the United States than after WWII. At that time, Ft. Knox stored around 75% of the world’s gold, the U.S. was a manufacturing powerhouse, and was a creditor nation! But alas, the United States would go down the fateful road of war & empire. Today, manufacturing is gone, America waved goodbye to being a creditor nation and became the most indebted nation in history — and now President Trump needs to check if the gold is still there at Ft. Knox.

Trump Advisor Elon Musk has proposed that the American people should benefit from DOGE's savings, suggesting that US taxpayers be sent a $5K "refund" check. Will this work? Also today, Sen. Paul makes a critical point about how to preserve and expanding DOGE savings.

The DOGE government-cutting train has finally made its way to the Pentagon, promising to slash the bloated staff of America's "defense" HQ. Will they be successful? Also today...the US flew B-52s and fighter jets across the Middle East as a show of force to Iran. How much did that cost? Finally today...a good news story.

Weekly Update --- Can We Really Cut Half of The Military Budget? You Bet! by Ron Paul Liberty Report

US Secretary of State Marco Rubio, long-known for his attachment to Israel, was in the country over the weekend for a visit with Israeli PM Netanyahu. Perhaps buoyed by Trump's plan to ethnically cleanse Gaza, Bibi decided to push one step further, announcing that the US and Israel need to "finish the job" against Iran. Will Trump's pledge of "no new wars" be able to withstand Bibi's demands? Also today...how much gold is in Fort Knox? One Senator wants to know.

President Trump likes to keep everyone on their toes. He has repeatedly proven to say things that (in the end) were perhaps never meant to be taken seriously in the first place. Sometimes the president's statements contain terrible ideas, like the U.S. owning Gaza. But at other times, his statements are pretty incredible, like the U.S. cutting military spending by 50% if Russia and China agree to do the same. Today on the Liberty Report, we cover the latter statement, which would be a huge positive for our nation, were it ever to come to pass.

And all of a sudden...the end began. President Trump holds a 90 minute phone call with his Russian counterpart, Vladimir Putin, agreeing to soon hold a summit of the two leaders. Trump's read-out of the call makes it clear that his pro-Ukraine "Special Envoy" Kellogg is out of the picture. Is peace on the horizon? What will it take? Also today, the mis-named National Endowment for Democracy is defunded.

Welcome to the real world. Politico is reporting today that US government employees in the General Services Administration are experiencing "anxiety" when Trump Administration officials from the Department of Government Efficiency request an interview to assess the employee's skills and work performance. Also today: Trump fires USAID official critical of changes at that agency. Finally...SecDef Hegseth drops a bomb: "No NATO for Ukraine."

With Trump now confirming that he has spoken with Russian president Putin - the first talk between US and Russian heads of state since 2022 - what will be his strategy to fulfill his promise to end the war? Will he exert "maximum pressure" on both sides? Will he hand off the hot potato to the Europeans? Also today: Trump's new steel tariffs - good move?
