During this 20+ minute interview, Jason asks Dr. Paul about the Department of Defense, Pentagon and the military industrial & information complex's influence over both political parties in Congress, US Presidents and the bureaucracy in the DC metro area.
Dr. Paul talks about how and why the Pentagon does not seem to care if it fails an audit. The military spending never seems to stop and both political parties seem to be on board. Jason also asks Dr. Paul about the likelihood of new wars with Venezuela and Iran, whether there will ever be a full or partial audit of the Federal Reserve again and the rise in popularity of MMT and socialism among Americans.
