Summary
In this episode of the Ron Paul Show, Ron Paul is joined by his long-time friend and former colleague Ron Paul to discuss his life, career, and political career. Ron Paul has spent decades fighting authoritarianism in all its forms no matter the cost, no matter what the party, because he recognizes that the bigger the government grows, the less freedom the individual has. He fights for the middle class, the real Americana. He has converted more people to libertarianism than maybe anybody in American history. He made three White House bids, spent nearly four decades in the House of Representatives, his farewell to congress speech is the stuff of lore, and serves as the Senior Fellow at the Mises Institute.

ron how are you is this glad yes it is good to hear from you yeah i know the last last time we
00:03:45.340
were in the studio together was the day of my first grandchild's birth and i had to leave in the
00:03:52.380
middle of the interview i don't know if you recall that i had waited so long to interview you and then
00:03:57.180
the baby starts being born right when we start our interview well first things first yeah i know you
00:04:03.800
have to do it but you know what i remember the interview too because you gave me a very nice
00:04:08.500
interview because we were working at introducing our homeschooling program yeah yeah and you were
00:04:14.100
very supportive of that yeah so ron i i'm trying to organize my notes and the things i want to talk
00:04:20.760
to you about and honestly i can't i can't decide where to begin with you because everything is on
00:04:28.660
fire and a lot of the things that you said were going to be a real problem and you better wake up
00:04:33.660
are all happening so what do you think the most the most important fire that we need to put out first
00:04:43.980
is well we work real hard on the foreign policy and fighting needless wars and you know i got really
00:04:51.800
involved in that when we were going to those many wars in the middle east and afghanistan all that
00:04:57.380
so that's a big issue but the other big issue which is involved with foreign policy is the excessive
00:05:04.980
spending i don't think people realize uh you know how serious that that uh debt is and uh it's it's
00:05:14.200
extreme it's going to be a big problem although everybody should vote to try to reduce it the odds of
00:05:20.900
that happening aren't very good i know so the debt will get liquidated and and we try to prepare people
00:05:27.040
for it so it's not easy so let me start there um most people don't understand and that's because
00:05:35.940
debt has been a part of this country's you know financial philosophy for a long time and everybody's
00:05:45.440
been saying oh it's going to get bad it's going to get bad and i don't think people understand that
00:05:51.180
there is a breaking point um can you describe what that breaking point looks like what does the average
00:05:58.720
person's life look like when this goes bad well it's not not totally predictable because each event
00:06:08.760
will be somewhat different but there are certain rules in economics from the austrian viewpoint which
00:06:15.000
i adhere to that you can uh predict what is coming or assume it's coming such as you know if you have
00:06:22.340
too much debt and you just print money and counterfeit the money that leads to problems and high prices and
00:06:27.960
all the things that that we're facing but uh you know some of us who have followed this thought maybe
00:06:34.740
six months or six years ago it could have happened right it's there's a subjectivity involved and when
00:06:41.440
it's precipitated what is the event and uh sometimes a war will precipitate it and sometimes it will be
00:06:47.640
an economic event and uh the people's trust and so that is unpredictable but there's no doubt and
00:06:54.760
in my opinion though the longer we can delay it or the officials delay uh these uh these bad events
00:07:02.240
coming the bigger the bubble bubble gets and uh that's uh that's where where the real problem is
00:07:08.280
that uh you know yeah well you know the fed met yesterday and a no catastrophe and
00:07:13.780
wages went up a little bit but that's still adding to the bubble you know and that's that's the big
00:07:20.720
thing and it's a consequence not of an accident you know it all all came from the university teaching
00:07:25.540
probably over the last hundred years i um i remember doing a monologue in when i was in um at cnn i did a
00:07:34.640
series for a week on what i called i think the money bubble it's now known as the everything
00:07:40.860
bubble and i said we're going to hit this next problem and if we don't let it go we're going to
00:07:50.960
just keep adding to the bubble and i think 2008 is when we should have felt everything and then they
00:07:57.260
just changed all the rules of economics and that's what that's what's really weighing us down is we
00:08:04.900
didn't pay the price in 2008 don't you think absolutely and that's what they did they were
00:08:12.380
able to get out 2008 but uh that's what happened the bubble gets bigger and bigger but there there
00:08:18.960
are some rules uh when debt gets out of hand debt has to be liquidated not only the debt but also
00:08:25.760
people don't talk too much about malinvestment that when you have artificial interest rates and
00:08:30.920
and uh information that you can't rely on you can't rely on our government for much good information
00:08:37.240
but if you get bad information on economics there's a lot of mistakes made and uh and and that has to
00:08:43.900
be liquidated due to get back to square one where you can start seeing real growth what do you mean
00:08:49.200
the debt has to be liquidated how do you liquidate 32 trillion dollars uh by default uh you know you
00:08:58.420
you could walk you could just default by uh just stiffing everybody but that would be a we can't do
00:09:05.820
that constitutionally yeah yeah well we can't do it the way we're doing it uh we're liquidating debt on
00:09:12.240
a daily basis because uh you you know if if uh you you owed a million dollars uh five years ago
00:09:20.180
you might be able to pay it off with 500 000 you know the debt the money is liquidated by the value
00:09:26.960
of the currency going down so that real and governments know this this is why they work hard
00:09:32.900
to keep a little bit of inflation there that's why we have to have at least the destruction of the value
00:09:37.920
of the currency at two percent but sometimes it goes a lot higher so real debt goes down by inflation
00:09:44.640
and that helps the government and some people like it too oh i can get a mortgage now and pay it back
00:09:50.160
but it also causes distortions where it gets out of control and the real debt catches you know
00:09:56.360
catches on it has to happen the best thing the way you suggested made me think of 1929
00:10:01.680
yeah he said we probably should i'm like 21 1921 we had a depression and at that time they were hands
00:10:09.560
off republicans were in it they had not learned how to get out of the trouble by just printing tons and
00:10:16.140
tons of money and and the depression was very bad very severe and it lasted a year yeah hands off and
00:10:22.700
they went back they went back right into the into the roaring 20s so one of the things that um i guess
00:10:31.060
you know they had to sneak the federal reserve act um in i mean it was very very shady as you know
00:10:39.500
but what they were what they said they were trying to avoid were these um regular market resets i mean
00:10:51.420
it's the kondracki of wave is you know the green shoots of the economy it's got to go into winter
00:10:57.680
it's got to burn the dead wood out so we would have about every 10 years a a very short depression
00:11:06.040
it would crash and then it would come back and the federal reserve said that that's what they were
00:11:12.440
trying to stop if you said to people that every 10 years you could lose everything but then it'll
00:11:18.100
it'll start right back up again people wouldn't be for that they would they would they want they
00:11:24.080
like the security of the idea that somebody's watching out how do you sell a really true free
00:11:34.120
market without the fed well and that's the argument they use they were you know bank runs and all this
00:11:42.180
and and the fed was established to stop all that and you can you can't stop it but it's because they
00:11:48.140
drifted away and they never fully obeyed the constitution that nothing other than gold and
00:11:53.700
silver would be used as legal tender and that was a little too sloppy then they couldn't go to wars
00:11:58.580
when they were unpopular and and uh there's there was a limitation on taxation so they went to this
00:12:05.340
thing which is tempting is all the way back to roman times yeah it's it's a part of history that it's a
00:12:11.820
sneaky way of uh taking government fraud uh and uh counterfeit if if people thought of this as a
00:12:19.820
counterfeit system eventually it'll catch up to us so i i think that um people people know it and they
00:12:27.700
want it but they have been conditioned especially in our country in our educational system because they
00:12:33.340
really don't worry about that they talk about it even even republicans are talking about a little bit
00:12:38.960
yeah but do you think the republicans are the answer to deficits no they're unfortunately there's
00:12:44.640
no good record you know you get only a few people like a thomas massey and a few others that will
00:12:50.900
really vote uh the vote the clarity of the constitution you wrote and the fed i think in 2011 i think
00:13:00.980
sounds right um that's right what would you add to that today i probably emphasize things a little
00:13:08.860
bit differently um i would say well what would you do you know if you're uh trying to provoke you know
00:13:17.080
present the correction i would emphasize the whole fact that uh if they if you had to have this fed
00:13:24.160
and you have it uh the first thing i'd do i'd look to jim grant for some advice on it but the other
00:13:30.920
thing you do you put a put a rule in there that says that the federal reserve cannot buy government debt
00:13:38.720
you know that's the whole thing then they get into manipulating and then they get into this
00:13:43.140
astounding thing they're central economic planners by manipulating interest rates and and then then
00:13:48.920
they get in and doing this and that that is where where the real problem is is is the the economic
00:13:54.820
planning that they have and the pretense that that they know what is uh there just like this meeting
00:14:00.200
fomc yesterday they they talk as if what they're saying is authentic and it's always what can we say
00:14:07.560
to calm the people's nerves and that's why i give them credit for being pretty shrewd for pulling the
00:14:14.180
wools over the lives of a lot of people right and they've been able to do this for a good many years
00:14:19.840
it just you know of course makes that uh conditions much worse and uh you know when individuals do it
00:14:26.340
if you or i go overboard and we spend five million dollars and all of a sudden the banks won't want us
00:14:32.240
any more money we have to declare bankruptcy we have to get another job or quit spending or do this
00:14:37.680
governments don't do that you know people when they worry about what's happening and when they
00:14:42.380
locked on government oh they're not going to send me my social security check never worry about that
00:14:47.380
and they're always going to bail out now anybody's funds they the fdic is always going to bail people
00:14:54.800
out but they ought to worry about the depreciation the destruction of the currency because it never
00:15:01.220
before glenn has it been where a reserve currency was so embedded worldwide everybody's involved in
00:15:07.900
the dollar because most currency are defined by dollar so and a lot of other things and that's why
00:15:13.360
it's big this is big time and we're seeing hence big cracks are occurring and there's no slowing up
00:15:21.280
i don't think you can stop that exponential curve of debt going up there to 33 and look at it and
00:15:27.480
you said the right day to 2008 when that when that real nonsense uh started so you look at um
00:15:36.560
where we're at and you talk about the destruction of the currency and that you know how many people
00:15:42.960
are holding the u.s dollar in their sovereign funds and we have a war of currencies that is now beginning
00:15:49.240
everybody keeps telling me yeah but we're the strongest one and i've said for years that's
00:15:54.280
assuming no one will get sane and pour gold into their coffers and re-establish a new system um you
00:16:04.800
know it's great to be the best of the worst until somebody you know invents a better mousetrap and
00:16:12.620
that's exactly what's happening what does america what does america look like if our reserve currency
00:16:21.260
is no longer the reserve currency we're all going to get poorer and we're going to have a lot of
00:16:29.360
inflation and uh there will be a some some substitute we see that uh at times uh under emergencies like in
00:16:38.920
wartime world wars and things what what happens is when the currency quits working they find a
00:16:46.060
substitute immediately something something of real value that people know about in the past they've
00:16:51.520
used to back out all kinds of things but those are very very temporary but uh no uh my idea is that
00:16:58.440
there's going to be totally chaos so really where the real fight is is in in in the same fight that
00:17:04.060
you're involved in is trying to teach people what to do and where the answers are and what's going to
00:17:10.340
happen so we're going to have the major crisis but what is going to help me and my family and about the
00:17:17.140
people that deserve some help are the people that have to be able to join us in redefining you know
00:17:24.780
what the currency is like and a lot of work has already been done because the if we look to the founder
00:17:30.000
for some advice it's pretty good and uh and and i think modern austrian economics which i have followed
00:17:37.220
closely uh you know since lou rockwell started uh started the uh mises institute there's a lot of
00:17:43.760
information there so that's where i'm optimistic i think it's occurring i think the homeschooling events
00:17:49.320
are going on i think the this talk shows and the type of work you do we reach more people i don't think
00:17:55.360
anybody knows because i bump into people that i feel like i'm just talking to people here and there
00:18:00.760
and my voice know who cares but i meet people that really have done things and i thought well you know
00:18:07.560
i well where'd you get that idea and they got it from you and i said wow i must have missed something
00:18:12.200
and they started they start things and they do very well and of course i tell them you know when we
00:18:18.460
deal and talk about investments too and i talk about investments uh you know with with the metals and all
00:18:24.660
i said but the most important investment is our energy put into spreading the message of liberty
00:18:31.220
and that you could take it all away from us glenn and if they just gave us our lives back our freedom
00:18:38.760
back and they said what would that be like well first off you wouldn't have an income tax and you
00:18:45.000
could do what you want as long as you're not hurting people no no violence i said boy that's a wonderful
00:18:50.500
place why aren't we selling that message better well right now they think there's a still a free
00:18:55.520
lunch but the the crisis comes when they say the free lunch is over and how many free lunches are
00:19:01.180
getting you know are vanishing i can't believe what i see with pictures of san francisco and
00:19:07.980
los angeles this is this is uh more than i expected that i thought it would come but uh the whole
00:19:16.480
country can get that way but where the real danger is there's going to be a group and there is a group
00:19:22.360
do you think nancy pelosi uh was worried about uh you know the gun issues she had guns all around her
00:19:29.200
all her life you know these communities so the rich do do better under this system and that means that
00:19:35.880
when the harm comes once again who pays you know if you are inflating away the debt uh who gets the
00:19:45.160
worst benefit the poor people in the middle class correct because their prices go up much worse and
00:19:49.880
if you're a billionaire who cares what bread costs you know that's why the violence the violence comes
00:19:56.140
and i expect that'll get much worse so do i unfortunately um let me before we move off money
00:20:05.900
one thing that i fear um because i do think violence is going to get worse i think that you know in at least
00:20:16.820
in my view and correct me if you think i'm wrong but we have the potential of repeating venezuela's
00:20:24.700
uh tale here that we were a very rich country we got off the wrong track we started you know socialism
00:20:34.920
and playing all kinds of games with our money and then destroying our energy and
00:20:39.340
you end up eating the animals in the zoo um uh and i i could see that as a as a destination here or
00:20:49.760
stop on the american story and when things like that happen with the technology that we have
00:21:00.640
and the answer i believe they think is a central bank digital currency they lock everything down
00:21:09.740
you don't you you go from you're thinking you're oppressed to actually in a cage
00:21:16.880
yes and that that uh that that is you know so important but some of the things that you can't
00:21:28.080
predict whether we're going to be like venezuela uh or zimbabwe it's going to be probably different
00:21:36.440
uh that may and and the timing why it's different is it depends so much on human action so if we're
00:21:44.300
strong and halfway decent and we have the military power and we have a lot of wealth you know you can
00:21:52.860
go a long way on that because the other countries are worse uh but eventually though uh we the rich
00:22:00.060
country like we have now go beyond its means and then we have to make the corrections why we don't
00:22:06.060
know exactly how it's going to be whether it's venezuela or not it's the fact that uh human action how do
00:22:12.280
the people react what are their emotions when do they give up how much violence will be involved
00:22:17.280
some people may some uh countries might be more complacent but generally speaking there's usually
00:22:23.020
violence and there's uh you know social violence where the rich the rich and the poor end up in civil
00:22:28.940
strife and i can't see how we can avoid that because it's so ingrained and the anger is growing but when it
00:22:37.160
happens uh is real hard to predict but uh the whole answer is that i still have the same the same
00:22:44.260
approach well let's be thankful that we have some time let's be thankful and see how successful we
00:22:49.960
can be for spreading the message there's a great message out there the human race had to has a pretty
00:22:55.880
good understanding of what should be done but to me it's still a fight between good and evil and uh
00:23:02.220
that's that's where the battle really is and i talk a lot about a natural law and and uh higher law
00:23:09.420
versus the nihilists who say there ain't no laws you know and you hear it now they say it you can't
00:23:15.540
know the truth and that's uh that's where the real fight is but that's been going on for thousands a
00:23:20.760
year yeah and that's just the human nature it just ebbs and flows we're just happen to be in this
00:23:25.800
collective zone here uh like we were the world was in the 30s and 40s and it's a very dangerous place
00:23:33.560
when you start moving towards collectivism so as we look at things and and and what they could
00:23:41.080
actually turn into with uh ron paul let me remind you that the world is a crazy place these days it
00:23:48.440
seems like uh it's a little crazier than normal uh disaster could come in many forms i feel i feel
00:23:56.980
like we're on the top of that building in new york and dan akroyd is like you didn't think
00:24:04.120

00:25:02.140
let's let's talk a little bit about um war you have been very clear on foreign entanglements i mean you
00:25:15.180
you have sounded much like uh washington and our founders uh on no foreign entanglements it you know
00:25:24.200
in 2001 i wasn't with you by 2008 i was absolutely with you on this doesn't work i started doing my
00:25:34.720
homework and looking the state department really is responsible for a lot of our wars and and the
00:25:42.320
military industrial complex and they're involved in all of our wars and that hasn't worked in a hundred
00:25:50.480
years and we just keep repeating the same mistake over and over again is that accurate yeah it is but
00:25:59.860
i'd add one thing and that's uh the international governments we have our government to deal with
00:26:04.660
but if you take some of the things that happened with united nations and i point out what was the first
00:26:10.820
thing the united nations i was in grade school but my teachers were propagandizing why the united
00:26:16.520
nations was a great thing and so what was the first thing they did they uh truman said well we'll go
00:26:22.940
let's go to war uh over in korea oh the people don't want another war so soon after world war ii
00:26:30.920
oh it's not a war like that this is a police action so and yes we we ended up with a stalemate
00:26:38.900
there but it really was a loss on what they were doing and look how how how korea has still been
00:26:45.180
separated yeah but then then of course the same thing happened with vietnam i had a i had a lot of
00:26:52.260
uh uh impressions put upon me in the 60s because i was in medical school i was in a residency i got
00:27:00.380
drafted and uh and there was all this emphasis that went on it was a horrible thing and how many
00:27:08.980
years did it take for the american people well how did it have to end sadly with a lot of demonstrations
00:27:15.980
and and harm done to our own country so that's that's why the founder said be cautious don't get
00:27:24.040
into these wars make make the people have a say in it and let the congress vote on it but it's
00:27:30.260
executive orders now i know the power is just and then it isn't only the executive orders it's the
00:27:35.980
united nations we go to war still i remember george senior i think said we we had to go in here
00:27:43.640
because of the they said we were supposed to have a vote in the congress he says that's not necessary
00:27:48.420
i get my authority from the united nation i was about to scream but but but they do yeah do it and
00:27:56.300
there's too much that's why i go back to you have to have education and that's why you know i have the
00:28:03.020
homeschooling and once again glenn i know you're supportive of homeschooling and you said a few good
00:28:08.500
things about my own school yeah i appreciate that um the world economic forum
00:28:15.240
they are uh i mean truly frightening uh this is a group of elites that you know every conspiracy
00:28:26.020
theory every you know star chamber movie is it it's almost like a parody of itself uh you know
00:28:35.920
they've got a guy with a german accent it leads it a bald bond villain uh and they are they
00:28:42.980
they they they truly believe that they can take the world and violate all of human nature and make
00:28:53.920
a new world what are your thoughts on the world economic forum well it should be disappeared
00:29:04.460
intellectually speaking because uh yes it is a powerful force and they're using the same tools
00:29:12.120
that i'm advocating for liberty uh they i mean you take a guy like soros and others before the world
00:29:19.340
economic council camp that uh that they got a hold of the educational system and then they moved along
00:29:27.360
from there our universities were there and even with covid it looks like they've taken over completely
00:29:34.040
the medical profession which is really sad and scary that uh yeah and but at the same sense a few people
00:29:43.580
have uh awakened uh they they know this and uh more people did more people know what's going on during
00:29:50.840
the lockdown yeah and they did before the lockdown yeah and and they're they're looking like the american
00:29:57.060
people are ready to resist that but just think glenn how horrible this was that if you were a physician
00:30:03.560
and you were speaking out and you happen to be associated with a university or a hospital they say well
00:30:09.340
you you can't say that ivermectin can be used and you and the patient decide whether or not you want to
00:30:14.860
have it you're out of here and a lot of people lost a lot of a lot of uh you know positions they get
00:30:21.720
fired that that way that is continuing to and that once again is the destruction of the doctor patient
00:30:29.080
relationship which is part of all this uh world economic council because they they are the bad news
00:30:36.440
and uh the only thing i can think of is counteracted with the good news of what liberty is all about
00:30:43.340
so what is um when you when you go to the world economic forum and you see what's happening
00:30:51.040
let's go into um ukraine you were early on the first revolution in ukraine ringing the bell saying
00:31:01.840
this is this is not on the up and up um when the state department did the next revolution i think it was
00:31:11.420
in 2014 i think uh that was that was all the the the state department and players like the clintons
00:31:21.020
and uh the bidens and obama and soros now we have this
00:31:27.100
tell me what you think is going on with ukraine why is this so important to the elites because the
00:31:37.340
american people are not for it well it's failing and people are waking up and i think early compared to
00:31:45.660
how long it took people to wake up about vietnam but uh no i saw that as uh a position it wouldn't
00:31:54.080
have happened without the united states supporting it and it's our empire desire for empire and people
00:31:59.540
you know capitulate and say well we have to be part of the empire and ukraine wanted to be part of it
00:32:05.320
but it was a unique mess because about a third or more was really russia it had a russian language and
00:32:12.380
russian people and there was a border dispute a border dispute and it went on but i think it was
00:32:20.020
the expansion that we had promised that we would not put our vessels missiles up and yet we broke our
00:32:27.240
promises and did it anyway and uh so so it got way out of whack on the pr now now the hatred and
00:32:35.920
questions about russia is just no no rationality about it yet when the cold war ended boy i was
00:32:43.400
delighted a lot of people were and we did see some things we started traveling to russia trading with
00:32:49.900
russia they were building or you know oil pipelines to europe and i always argued which our founders are
00:32:56.580
you trade with people you're less likely to fight with them yes but all of a sudden that was a challenge
00:33:02.020
to the empire and the empire is uh very much we're very much in charge of the empire and that's why
00:33:08.600
we have the reserve currency but it also means that because that demonstrates how big it is it seems
00:33:14.860
like it's not as powerful as they thought there's no cakewalk uh in ukraine a lot of people have
00:33:22.020
suffered and the people who suffered weren't the ones that said you know let's get together and have a
00:33:26.720
i mocked that attitude because i said all these wars who fight the wars the kids 18 to 25 i said do
00:33:33.700
the 18 year olds and the 25 get together from the 18 year olds in russia and they say oh you know life
00:33:41.600
is boring let's have a war no no it's these scoundrels these scoundrels are going to make billions of
00:33:47.980
dollars building airplanes like the f-35 that doesn't work oh that doesn't matter it's good for jobs and
00:33:55.220
the republicans say that they say you know the military budget is good because of a lot of job
00:33:59.960
but it's robbery it's highway robbery it's stealing from the poor people paying through it with fraudulent
00:34:05.380
money and undermining the the wealth of the poor people and that's why you're going to see a lot more
00:34:11.780
people living in the street so what was was it our incompetence this administration's incompetence
00:34:21.640
that sent the signal to russia um was it a backdoor deal for some reason or another with this
00:34:31.660
administration uh we laundering money what what is what is really behind that well a lot of it wasn't as
00:34:41.320
clear cut and written but the conversations were very clear and it was under uh hw bush and uh
00:34:48.900
and it started really after world war ii but then later on another one but uh it was very well known
00:34:57.400
that uh we were to keep our weapons away from eastern eastern europe and uh but we kept encroaching
00:35:05.320
and encroaching and then it looked like the big battle for how far we can get away with it was ukraine
00:35:12.760
because it was the last last uh country but all of us but all of us knew is that just absolute
00:35:21.360
incompetence and stupidity on the president's part because i mean we all knew we all watched it happen
00:35:29.600
it's like a slow motion train wreck we're like we'll tell them that they can't get into nato we've already
00:35:35.240
promised that what are you doing i i think they brainwashed themselves they come to believe in their
00:35:41.240
own lies and and but i think they're uh drunk on power and uh then there's uh the people who are
00:35:48.380
drunk on power are the politicians and they go along with the people who are drunk on money
00:35:52.460
and the military industrial you already mentioned military industrial conflict that is a big deal
00:35:58.380
and uh we could we could do with a lot less of that and this is why when i had to deal with what
00:36:05.680
are your proposals then how are we going to get back to a balanced budget i said well you need to use
00:36:11.120
a little common sense if uh if you want to do it why don't you cut foreign aid and some of this
00:36:16.700
militarism and all these profits that go to these these companies and uh and don't cut food stamps
00:36:25.360
first you know that's right that's what they're currently talking about right i'm like i wouldn't
00:36:30.260
vote for food stamps program but right now we had food stamps at that farm and uh and food program
00:36:37.960
that's both poor people's uh food stamps and rich people's food stamps but we shouldn't have any but
00:36:44.400
if you're trying to work toward a distant i i never want to say well the first thing i'm going to cut
00:36:49.120
our food stamps to poor people in medical care to poor people right it makes no sense if you're trying
00:36:54.480
to work with people and and wean them off but uh unfortunately everybody's going to be weaned off
00:37:00.980
except the very very super powerful who will pick up all the pieces and walk away with maybe the gold
00:37:07.540
or who knows what unless we wake up so talk to me about the deep state your your understanding of
00:37:16.820
the deep state i mean i always thought that there was a problem with these people that just stay in
00:37:23.880
washington i've always thought that there was an arrogance of the state department they really didn't
00:37:29.220
care but when donald trump talked about the deep state at first i was a little uncomfortable with that
00:37:36.420
because i was like that sounds like a star chamber and i don't think it how i'm not sure i don't think
00:37:42.360
it's a star chamber but it's just arrogant people who think alike that are moving in their direction
00:37:51.480
no matter who's elected or what's done and now they're becoming extraordinarily dangerous with the
00:37:58.380
intel being a part of that what is your understanding of it well i don't think there's 12 or 15 or 20
00:38:07.820
people that we hear about their meetings that they get together i don't think they have board meetings
00:38:13.420
and lay their plans out i don't think it's like that i think it's philosophic yes and that uh they it's
00:38:20.000
ingrained in a system through our universities and uh that that is uh what what they do they they come up
00:38:27.320
with uh these wild screams like esg and and and what is amazing is the people who go along with all
00:38:34.740
that stuff and uh but it's a it's a it's a group of people i think george soros i would put him in the
00:38:41.060
deep state yes but they're i associate with people and it's not as monolithic as i think some people
00:38:47.260
think but they're very very powerful and uh believe me the deep state those very very wealthy bankers
00:38:55.060
who controlled things maybe just through finances they were very much involved in bringing about
00:39:00.000
you know the uh uh the the the uh bringing about the fed you know uh stephers and the fed of course
00:39:08.620
they they had a major victory in 1913 and uh glenn if we could do anything why don't we just cancel
00:39:15.020
1913 get rid of the irs get rid of the irs yeah get rid of all the bad money and woodrow wilson
00:39:23.740
actually yeah there you go yeah i was just going to think of that our minds are thinking the same
00:39:29.240
yeah yeah making making the world safe for democracy right of course the founders didn't even the founders
00:39:34.840
didn't even like the word democracy because when you have the 51 percent put together by the deep state
00:39:40.600
they could get they could do anything they want to the minority and who's in most favor that the
00:39:46.620
liberals who are supposed to be taking care of the minority and the people that are hurting no uh it's it's
00:39:53.180
it's not a good system and i think ideas are so powerful and i think good ideas when they come
00:40:00.820
along cannot be stopped the armies can't stop them because even with or without the internet i think
00:40:07.200
good ideas will filter through and eventually have you know have an influence but the problem is it's
00:40:14.400
very slow and it's very tedious and it's very uncomfortable but i think the only way i tolerate
00:40:20.620
the problems with you know trying to bring about change is i try to think you know you should try
00:40:27.020
to find people who are like-minded and convert people and try to have a good time doing it so i think uh
00:40:33.960
going to conferences and things and meeting other people we won't all will we all be different we'll
00:40:39.500
all be libertarian like right and uh you get together and meet people that have the same goals
00:40:46.280
uh speaking of libertarianism it to i think it was 2014 the new york times said uh has the libertarian
00:40:54.580
moment finally arrived and it kind of felt like that it really felt like that at the time and now it seems
00:41:04.500
that so many people they might hate the deep state or they hate the big government but they want to keep it
00:41:15.080
so we can turn it around and use it on you know our foes what happened to the no this is a really bad
00:41:24.100
idea unconstitutional it's not america dismantle what what happened to those freedom fighters
00:41:33.760
well i think uh what has happened to people who have been made dependent on all these programs
00:41:41.300
they get worried and they don't hear the other side of the story and they become more aggressive
00:41:46.740
and the politicians you know react to that but i think there's been a crack in this i just don't
00:41:52.760
think it's uh it's quite that bad uh because i look toward you know the people who are teaching
00:42:00.140
better economics and there's a lot and and you know people said how can you stand uh going out there
00:42:07.960
those college campuses and i loved it because college kids i think they're more open-minded i
00:42:13.980
don't know if you ever found that out but young people are very open-minded to some of our viewpoints
00:42:19.020
that's critical and that's wonderful and if you go i say yeah i'd rather go talk to a bunch of college
00:42:24.940
kids at berkeley campus where i had a good reception than i would to the chamber of commerce because the
00:42:32.140
chamber of commerce people they uh they're the ones as i campaigned in my district and around the
00:42:37.980
country they say well how are you going to protect this for me and this for me and they are protectionism
00:42:44.040
they're the ones who want to say well keep keep out those japanese cars because we're having trouble
00:42:49.420
selling our cars it's all protectionism which i'm obviously not a fan of uh and we want competition
00:42:57.340
we want freedom and we want rewards for doing a good job but uh there's there's uh every all the
00:43:05.660
arguments are on our side so i keep telling people i don't know why we're losing this it must be our
00:43:11.000
fault we must not know how to present the case for liberty well enough to get more people but i do think
00:43:17.480
glenn that uh there are a lot of people out there i think they're quiet and i think they're they're waking
00:43:23.040
up i think there are there are yeah there there's the uh world economic forums that are around and
00:43:28.740
several of those monstrous things but there's also libertarian groups i don't think they're
00:43:34.180
loud mouths and i don't think they're i think they're smaller i don't think our numbers are crucial
00:43:40.280
you don't have to have 51 you need 15 or 20 of the people saying you know i do believe in liberty
00:43:46.880
and they influence people uh outside of that and that influence means you eventually have to convince
00:43:53.640
the electorate that it's good idea to defend your liberties rather than saying all i need is more
00:44:00.320
government i make fun of the issue on on inflation you know the government had we run up all these
00:44:05.300
debts for war and welfare and then they print too much money and we hand the prices go up and they
00:44:11.200
don't the people don't exactly understand it so they come to washington and they say you help me out
00:44:16.720
help me out give us more money if the prices are too high but that that's the cause it's too much
00:44:23.700
money it and there's pretty good statistic to show that when they do that the devaluation and the value
00:44:31.180
of your currency goes down faster than you can get your wages to go up it never can keep up and then
00:44:37.160
then you have the uh social turmoil that comes along with all this and and the anger which is something i
00:44:43.860
get very concerned about back with ron paul here in just a second everything you touch has a history
00:44:51.420
everything you buy everything you eat every piece of clothing you wear it all comes from somewhere
00:44:56.940
and if you're like me when it comes to clothing you want to pay with your hard-earned money
00:45:04.500
for something that has been built here in america made here in america by americans you want that money
00:45:12.760
to go and flow back into your community well when it comes to manufacturing it really matters it's the
00:45:20.080
backbone of our economy always has been but we've really lost it the things that put the food on the
00:45:26.660
tables of our fellow countrymen this is why i love partnering with companies that do business here
00:45:32.320
in america make everything here in america with grip six you're getting a true american experience
00:45:38.120
you buy their socks for instance you're supporting the american ranchers that raise specially bred sheep
00:45:44.060
that produce the modern wool the manufacturers who wash that wool then process that wool then the
00:45:49.760
people who weave it into socks that will keep your feet warm in the winter and cool in the summer
00:45:55.780
the american business owners who have accepted the risk that comes along with only using american-made
00:46:01.820
products and american labor should be rewarded do yourself a favor just check out grip six dot com
00:46:09.660
slash beck right now put your hard-earned money in america grip six dot com slash beck
00:46:16.400
i'm concerned especially here recently after october 7th the wild anti-semitism that is coming out of the
00:46:29.020
college campuses it is you know it's happening all over the world where there's you know they're
00:46:36.900
paintings um stars of david on people's houses and their businesses in paris france um it it's
00:46:46.340
it seems um a little unreasonable i have no problem standing up for the palestinians standing up for
00:46:55.640
the jews when they're right when they're wrong you know we work things out but when you when you
00:47:01.480
start to look at terror tactics and say terrorism is justified going into somebody's house and killing
00:47:08.680
their children raping their their wives or you know kidnapping somebody in the family that's terrorism
00:47:16.600
and you once said we can't wage war against a tactic because terror is a tactic how do we fight
00:47:25.180
this this hatred that is happening well to me it's a moral issue and uh politicians don't have much
00:47:37.220
control of that uh other than maybe the good ones can set a set a standard uh it's it's uh it's
00:47:46.800
for libertarians it's not difficult for me because it's a principle of non-aggression and that means
00:47:53.120
you can't initiate force if you're going to be moral if you want to be and that fits into my religious
00:47:59.520
beliefs if it's into my economic beliefs and my foreign policy beliefs that you can't have aggression
00:48:07.120
and uh the big problem though is that uh it gets a little bit confusing who was the first aggressor
00:48:15.140
what have they been fighting for 300 years who started this fight but uh aggression if there's any
00:48:21.620
calm which you aim for the people should not it's an immoral wrong and you're doing the wrong thing
00:48:29.020
if you initiate aggression and you know people people generally like that i don't know i've had a
00:48:36.020
rather good experience with neighborhoods and where i've lived you know uh in pennsylvania and the
00:48:42.020
military and schools and all this and i've never had to nobody ever walked into my house and said
00:48:48.780
okay move over and bump me around and say i'm gonna you have three cars i'm taking one
00:48:54.400
no they don't they don't do that and i think bastiat explains this that you can you can do you can't
00:49:02.840
you can't give the government the right to do what you're not allowed correct and glenn i think most
00:49:08.680
people understand you don't walk into your neighbor's house especially in texas and take something that
00:49:14.420
you like i mean it there would be some protection against that but if you do this uh it it's a it's a it's a
00:49:23.000
big deal but what we have done is we've given the government the authority and they get rewarded
00:49:28.160
for it and then this generates all this lobbying stuff one of the things that i like the best or
00:49:34.200
was proud of the most and that sort of tells uh puts me in a certain category is that uh people say
00:49:41.400
how do you put up with the lobbyists i said i never have lobbyists come to my door they never
00:49:47.360
bother me because they already have the answer and uh i think that's what we need we need to
00:49:55.500
we should not give that power and authority to the constitution so it comes down to a legal issue
00:50:01.680
and a moral issue the founders were exceptionally clear on yeah we're giving you a republic and we're
00:50:08.900
giving you some liberty and this could work but it uh if the morality of the people disintegrates
00:50:15.700
so will your republic and i'm afraid we're there but i'm not giving up and thinking they can't be
00:50:20.980
right because on an individual level i've seen so many people do things even even since i've been not
00:50:28.560
it literally in politics i've been to a lot of people who have done a lot of good and i think that's
00:50:35.120
doing this it's growing and it's not the kind of thing you're going to hear on the news
00:50:40.460
and uh but uh i i think that is what we have to encourage and besides once they grasp that
00:50:48.600
and i've had a lot of young people come up to it says you know i finally get it and he's the one
00:50:55.540
one that one comment i enjoy is you know ron it's just common sense what you're talking about and i
00:51:02.880
would i would hope that it's common sense because if it isn't they're not going to listen
00:51:06.800
so um when you look at the constitution i've been saying this for a long time i'll stand with any man
00:51:15.980
if you can give me the bill of rights if if we can't agree on the bill of rights then i i don't know if
00:51:24.240
i have enough in common i don't know because that's what i'm fighting for that everybody is treated the
00:51:30.320
same under the law it justice is blind you have a right to say and as my father used to say i really
00:51:37.800
disagree with ron paul if if you would for this case i really disagree with him but i'll fight to
00:51:43.740
the death for his right to say it we've lost that and now with social media we've lost freedom of speech
00:51:53.140
with the white house influencing that we have 20 somethings 30 somethings now that think that there
00:52:00.580
are limits on free speech make the case for the bill of rights yes and number one we can start with
00:52:10.480
number one because as i was leaving congress a couple years ago i had a little talk to give
00:52:17.100
and i use the first amendment as as the lead in to what you're talking about because the first
00:52:24.100
amendment is supposed to give us the right to speak out right tell people we don't have the first
00:52:28.980
amendment so we can talk about the weather i said we have it because we have the right to criticize
00:52:33.540
our government if the government is not following following the rules and uh and then you've already
00:52:39.700
pointed out uh glenn where it's been abused and it has been i mean it is a fascist system now
00:52:46.700
because governments have been directing the fbi and other government agencies working with the
00:52:52.420
social medias to punish them yeah and that all came out of you know the the lockdown and you say
00:52:59.480
well why don't you throw in the towel how are you ever going to do that with a better idea and because
00:53:04.860
this system isn't going to work so there's there's going to be an opening and i think the openings are
00:53:09.800
occurring and uh i i i just think there are more people when i went to congress and first time was in
00:53:18.040
76 and it was over the economic issues and uh i talked about the federal reserve and stuff people say
00:53:26.120
what in the world are you talking about you know but guess what glenn uh you and others talk about the
00:53:34.460
federal reserve and you've done it for a good many years now and and you can use that for the illegal
00:53:40.920
unconstitutional uh use of fraud to to pass you know send message around the country and get people
00:53:48.900
to do these kind of things but no uh the bill of rights is a good summary of uh of what we should do
00:53:56.200
and of course they fought over that to bring it in people argued that we should we shouldn't have a
00:54:01.340
bill of rights and and those were the people who tended to want bigger government correct correct um
00:54:08.120
you have seen so much first of all you've run for president three times the first time and what a
00:54:14.960
different world we would be in if you would have won in 88 instead of george w bush george hw bush
00:54:22.400
um you ran again in 2008 and then 12 what do you think of the current set of politicians do you see
00:54:39.900
bits and pieces uh every once in a while almost every one of them said something that's good that's good
00:54:48.400
uh and um i uh uh no i i'm pretty cynical about the political action from year to year
00:54:58.060
and this year it's harder to say it than ever that uh doesn't make any difference and then when you look
00:55:05.340
at some of the scandalous things done on one hand and not on the other hand but uh who who are we going
00:55:14.060
to elect you have to have the support by the people and the and the intellectual community but
00:55:20.360
uh well can we pick can you and i agree and then we'll start start a rally for the individual that
00:55:27.280
is dedicated a hundred percent to get rid of the federal reserve that's that's too much you can't
00:55:32.620
take that on oh okay we're going to do away with welfare right you know okay we're going to do away
00:55:37.680
with the with the executive orders that allows president to do almost anything they want and we
00:55:43.480
would you know go on and on and uh and i don't have anybody like that because i think uh i think the
00:55:51.240
deficit's going to continue i don't matter there's no one person in there that if is elected and people
00:55:57.240
say well what would you have done then i said the truth is that you suggested what would have been
00:56:02.120
like if i don't want an ada well about ada and one month later they say get rid of this guy one way
00:56:09.100
or the other yeah because because they wouldn't be ready that's why you have to get people ready and
00:56:15.160
that's why uh that's why they're working very hard and when i see the collusion of big business
00:56:22.200
working very closely with social media and then we have a tougher time defending the right of speech
00:56:28.580
free speech on social media but now the evidence is out the social media is not independent they're
00:56:35.960
not just the newspaper you know reporting the news they're in there as participants and it is a form
00:56:42.900
of fascism that's going on here and that's why the bill of rights is so important that's why the first
00:56:49.240
amendment is important but i still believe that good information can spread i they don't think i don't
00:56:56.000
think they can stop the good information and you say well there's not enough yet ron you there's not
00:57:01.060
51 percent well you know the founders probably had about eight or nine percent of the populations
00:57:07.080
in support of uh of the uh challenge to the british empire so uh you know the ideas are important but you
00:57:14.740
still have to get support from the people uh and i talk about calling that a prevailing attitude
00:57:20.840
the people have an attitude and when the attitude so the attitude had to change say in the 60s against
00:57:28.600
the vietnam first ignore it totally and then complain a little bit and then have to riot in the streets
00:57:34.660
the attitude finally changed and the politician finally woke up and i think our job ought to be glenn
00:57:41.620
is to try to wake people up before they get involved in this stuff it's hard that's hard so how do you
00:57:48.040
stop this spending not very easily because if you cut it off uh i i think i mentioned that uh you can't
00:57:55.800
you have to cut it off wisely or something like foreign aid before children's health care but i'm not
00:58:01.820
very optimistic that uh that's my optimism doesn't leave me that's going to happen no uh we should put as
00:58:08.520
many people as we can to spread the message but at the same time uh they uh it's going to come
00:58:15.660
elsewhere and it's going to come from you know in the early 80s you may recall there was a strong
00:58:21.200
attack against homes uh homeschooling and also private schooling yeah and right now you could
00:58:27.620
still you could do it and uh and and i think uh you know locked on there was a tremendous boost in
00:58:35.200
that type of education oh yeah so that's good that's good so uh what was the numbers are secondary
00:58:42.060
in your in your vast career i mean you graduated uh college i think in 1957
00:58:49.280
and you have been active in so many different things what is the most significant event
00:58:59.560
in your lifetime that you look at that you witnessed you saw you were a part of
00:59:05.200
or just alive for what was what was the most significant event and i think you're thinking
00:59:12.960
along political and education no anything anything okay my most significant event was i got married in
00:59:20.600
1957 and i graduated from college in 1957 in 1957 i started medical school those were significant but
00:59:34.340
those were personal yeah that might qualify for your question but no i i think the event even though i
00:59:42.960
got involved in study of economics say in the 60s i know when i was in medical school i was reading about
00:59:48.820
this uh this is fascinating stuff and then i got to meet some of the big names in austrian economics
00:59:55.980
i heard thesis lecture i knew murray real well and so sense holds these people that really uh and they
01:00:03.480
were making predictions about he can't last uh the branton woods system is going to break down
01:00:10.760
so i was sitting watching television on august 15th 1971 and guess what nixon came on with a special
01:00:18.760
a special message and he said no no uh no more honoring the dollar at a dollar
01:00:27.140
with gold uh even though the american people still weren't allowed to own it but at least we were
01:00:33.160
trying to limit our money so foreigners would use it building our reserve status so he got rid of that he put
01:00:41.020
on wage and price controls and he put on tariffs and i wow i was jumping up and i what in the thunder
01:00:48.500
there was only one person in the whole town where i lived that uh another doctor that understood this
01:00:55.180
stuff so i called him i said look at what look at what look at what they're doing but i went to a
01:01:01.020
chamber i already made a critique about chamber of commerce but that's uh you know yeah no i know that's
01:01:09.120
a sore subject for me too i was a member i was a member for a long time yeah so i was attending one
01:01:14.220
of our legislative meetings which was routine on august i i i nixon talked on a sunday so monday i went to
01:01:21.400
my legislative committee meeting at the chamber and uh the chamber came out and they were so excited
01:01:28.920
it was wonderful and i thought what and then then i looked at the stock market and the stock market
01:01:36.240
up until that time went up more in one day uh ever ever before so the stocks they were fooled into it
01:01:44.660
it was all anyways and it was i thought this just huge step watch out things are going to change
01:01:51.220
because at that time gold was 35 an ounce said now is a couple dollars more than that ready to do a lot
01:01:58.800
a lot more yeah we haven't learned our economic lessons and uh just as i thought and anticipated i
01:02:06.520
thought it was a good idea we could still buy silver silver was in circulation in 1971 so you could still
01:02:13.500
you know as silver i was saving silver it was a dollar 29 an ounce back then now and so i started
01:02:21.360
doing that but it had but it had a major that was in 71 and 74 i started speaking out and i ran for
01:02:29.960
office in 74 and my wife carol said what do you do that for you know it's just that's not necessary
01:02:37.180
and i said don't worry about it i'm not going to get elected i said this is just this is just therapy
01:02:44.580
for me so i'm going to talk about it she said no she says yeah that people are going to believe what
01:02:50.420
you're saying and they're going to elect you uh a year or so later they did uh so i had a very very
01:02:57.020
low anticipation rate and uh for that reason i thought i could just say anything i want if i believed in
01:03:04.940
it and i think that was the uh best asset i had because people came around to thinking well we like this
01:03:12.320
idea of uh of hard money and i found out there were a lot of i was impressed with the fact that a lot
01:03:17.360
of working people came and uh there because their wages were being eroded so i that that excited me and
01:03:25.640
and i saw so i ran in those years over the economic issue the spending uh and all the debt we had and
01:03:33.140
sound money but uh as i as i learned more about it i got more fascinated with uh non-interventionist
01:03:41.700
foreign policy i had already yeah one of the reasons i gave for going to medical school was
01:03:48.060
well i didn't i didn't have long-term plans i got to be a doctor i got to be a doctor but in the midst
01:03:53.760
of all this i said i didn't like the idea of seeing what was happening in vietnam and how many people
01:03:59.960
were getting killed and i said i can't shoot people so i think i'll go into medicine uh i know i'll be
01:04:07.100
drafted if i'm a doctor at least i won't be shooting i'm not going to take a gun and uh lo and behold
01:04:13.040
1972 with uh during the missile crisis and with vietnam or with uh yeah vietnam i was drafted i ended
01:04:20.440
up in the military for five years wow um last question if you could only read about one president
01:04:29.720
good or bad that you would learn the most from to restore or to uh understand america's principles
01:04:39.800
and somebody who really screwed it up or somebody who really had it right which president would you
01:04:45.860
pick i would pick jefferson you know and i see him sometimes and when i look at the thing uh
01:04:54.100
that maybe i wouldn't agree with wholeheartedly but who do you find that you happen no i i think
01:05:01.260
i think he understood the constitution and he had to uh uh challenge uh you know the uh the people back
01:05:09.880
even then uh hamilton he had to have a few debates and he did away with the first national bank and
01:05:16.800
so i would i would stick with jefferson and uh that uh uh would would be the best choice i could come
01:05:25.860
up with yeah ron thank you for everything that you've done and are continuing to do thanks for
