Conversation with Dr. Ron Paul
Gold Telegraph: 2-12-2025
“I think the country would thrive tremendously if we see it in moral terms and don’t have some Federal Reserve being the chief counterfeiter. It’s fraud.” – @RonPaul
Three-time U.S. presidential candidate Dr. Ron Paul joins me for a powerful discussion on the Federal Reserve, fiat money, government waste, and key moments from his career.
A former U.S. Congressman and physician, Paul has been a relentless advocate for limited government, free markets, and sound money.
Serving Texas for decades, he became one of the loudest critics of the Federal Reserve, pushing for monetary reform, a gold standard, and fiscal responsibility.
In our conversation, Dr. Paul reflects on the growing awareness of monetary policy and government corruption—a fight he’s led for years.
We begin with Elon Musk call for him to investigate the Federal Reserve, a move Dr. Paul doubts will happen but sees as a sign that the debate is shifting.
He emphasizes that the real battle is ideological, as the current monetary system is crumbling under debt, inflation, and authoritarianism.
Dr. Paul revisits his push to audit the Fed and America’s gold reserves, recalling repeated efforts to block transparency.
While he believes the gold is still there, questions remain over ownership and manipulation.
He also highlights the Fed’s secrecy in international finance, warning that the system thrives on deception and interventionism.
We explore many more themes in this fascinating discussion.
Thank you, Dr. Paul, for joining me.
I hope you all enjoy.

Walkingstick [Contractor friend in Iraq update] IRAQI CONTRACTOR: I've been in all the executive branch meetings with the CBI. Right now the CBI is redoing my contract. In fact, they're redoing all contracts in Iraq because there will be a rate change soon. Also the CBI and the GOI speaking. I heard them at this meeting bring...up that the CBI and GOI will now release the articles on the lower notes - the pictures... descriptions for the citizens to see... They used to pay us in American dollars...now all contracts are being paid only in dinars...To me the only important thing is my contact. That comes first. I don't care about their currency. I don't care about what they're doing with the purchasing power...As long as the IQD value they come out with...matches the contract value they gave me in American dollars when they first wrote it to me...that's all I care about...I don't care about buying any stupid dinars. My profit is from investing in Iraq and there are no restrictions. The sky is the limit.
