In Segment 2, Jerry and Jennifer Robinson discuss Congressman Ron Paul’s farewell speech in Congress. Dr. Paul served in Congress for 23 years over a 36 year period. He has run for President and has paved the way for the grassroots movement for economic and personal liberty in America. Listen as the Congressman points out the fundamental flaws in government that have contributed to the economic and financial crisis we are in now. Dr. Paul calls for an intellectual movement among the citizens of our nation, and he also asks some very compelling questions that we should all ask ourselves about the overreaching government, like:

Why are sick people who use medical marijuana put in prison?
Why are Americans not allowed to use gold and silver as legal tender as mandated by the Constitution?
Why is the TSA permitted to abuse the rights of any American traveling by air?

The Congressman also talks about the drone warfare (which, by the way, the never brought up in any of the Presidential debates this election season) and how it will inevitable end badly for us as the hatred builds for innocent lives lost. Once we are financially weakened and cannot afford to pursue the endless pre-emptive warfare, there will be much resentment directed back at America.

Listen as Jerry and Jennifer comment.
