Republicans and the Socialism They Pretend to Hate | 09-14-26

Sam Bushman and Lowell Nelson of campaignforliberty.org break down Ron Paul's warning that corporatism has gone global, with the Pentagon acquiring a 35% stake in a Venezuelan oil producer the same day Congress passed a resolution condemning socialism. They dissect House Resolution 1490 as midterm demagoguery, examine how both Republicans and Democrats support socialist programs at home while claiming constitutional fidelity, and cover Lawrence Vance's argument that neither party will save the country from socialism. The show wraps with Philip Giraldi's coverage of the Ron Paul Institute conference, warnings about Israel's influence over US foreign policy, and George Washington's farewell address on the dangers of entangling alliances.
