* Guest: Lowell Nelson - CampaignForLiberty.org, RonPaulInstitute.org

* Liberation or Obliteration? - Ron Paul.

"President Trump was elected in part because he promised to reduce prices and not drag the country into foreign wars."

* Tariffs and the Constitution - Andrew Napolitano.

* "In 1977, Congress enacted the International Economic Emergency Powers Act. This law permitted the president to impose tariffs on goods emanating from outside the U.S. in the case of an economic emergency. The statute defined an emergency as a sudden and unexpected event that adversely affects U.S. national security or economic prosperity."

Congress may not delegate its authority to the president. That 1977 act is unconstitutional, and Congress was ans is not only foolish, but also cavalier with their authority. The American voters should have unseated them in the very next election for their malfeasance.

* War With Iran? - MoonOfAlabama.org

Trump has demanded three things of Iran (he is probably making these demands at the behest of Israel's Netanyahu): end all nuclear programs; destroy medium-range missiles that can reach Israel; stop support for "resistance" movements in the Middle East.

* Trump says if Iran "doesn’t make a deal, there will be bombing. It will be bombing the likes of which they have never seen before."

What is the JCPOA? It is an acronym that means Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action. It involved seven countries: Iran of course, China, France, Germany, Russia, the United Kingdom, and the United State. This agreement was made in 2015 during the Obama administration.

* The agreement was that Iran would reduce its stockpile of uranium by 98%, and will keep its level of uranium enrichment at 3.67%--significantly below the enrichment level needed to create a bomb--and open its facilities to more extensive international inspections in exchange for billions of dollars’ worth of sanctions relief.

* Bomb Mexico? - Jacob G. Hornberger.

"The Trump administration has now conflated the “war on drugs” and the “war on terrorism” by designating drug cartels or drug gangs as “terrorist” organizations. That enables U.S. officials to now use the military and “wartime” military powers against violators of drug laws." And that is a sobering development--one that ought to cause American patriots great concern!

* Donald Trump is Making the Case for BRICS - Larry Johnson.
