00:00:12.920 It's time for Tim's.

00:00:15.520 If you can judge a man by his enemies, former Congressman Ron Paul of Texas,

00:00:21.460 the long-retired obstetrician, the 90-year-old three-time member of Congress

00:00:26.580 and three-time presidential candidate, is a very, very good man

00:00:31.340 because he has the best enemies.

00:00:35.240 Here, for example, is an exchange between Jeffrey Epstein and one of his friends.

00:00:41.700 This takes place in early 2012 when there was conversation,

00:00:47.260 as there pretty much always is in the United States for the last 30 years,

00:00:50.080 about when and how we should bomb Iran. 0.56

00:00:52.680 Bomb Iran! 1.00

00:00:53.180 And Epstein's friend writes to him this,

00:00:57.640 During an election year, everyone in Congress is falling all over themselves

00:01:00.620 to show support for Israel, except for that dinkus Ron Paul.

00:01:07.000 Ron Paul!

00:01:10.000 Yeah, Jeffrey Epstein and his friends did not like Ron Paul.

00:01:14.080 But what's not to like about Ron Paul?

00:01:17.320 Ron Paul is, and you're going to see him speak in just a moment,

00:01:20.380 probably one of the most manifestly decent men ever to serve in the Congress.

00:01:26.260 Married to the same woman since 1957, beloved by his children, grandchildren,

00:01:30.440 now great-grandchildren.

00:01:32.180 A man who spends his spare time riding his bicycle and tending roses.

00:01:36.340 A person who has articulated the principles of nonviolence throughout his entire public career.

00:01:40.980 A guy who thinks that it is not just unfashionable, but totally immoral to judge people on the basis of their blood.

00:01:48.840 Who thinks racism and anti-Semitism are anti-Christian.

00:01:52.600 Guy who's never said a single thing against a group ever.

00:01:56.540 Not once.

00:01:57.780 In short, a thoroughly decent man of principle.

00:02:01.120 Why does everyone hate Ron Paul?

00:02:03.400 Well, there are a couple reasons.

00:02:04.260 In fact, I personally discovered this way back in 2007 when I covered Ron Paul.

00:02:10.560 He was running for president that year.

00:02:12.960 I'd actually voted for him 19 years before in 1988 in college for president.

00:02:17.420 I knew nothing about him, but it seemed like an amusing protest vote.

00:02:20.740 He was running as a libertarian then.

00:02:22.640 But fast forward to 2007.

00:02:24.700 He was running in the 2008 presidential campaign.

00:02:27.840 And I thought, this guy looks kind of interesting.

00:02:29.660 I really didn't know much about him.

00:02:31.140 So I went on the road with him for a week.

00:02:33.700 And I wrote a long profile for the New Republic magazine.

00:02:36.880 I was working in television, but I thought it was kind of interesting to write magazine stories again.

00:02:40.500 So I did.

00:02:42.020 And I learned a couple of things about Ron Paul.

00:02:44.720 One, as noted, enormously nice person.

00:02:48.380 Gentle temperament.

00:02:50.120 Decent.

00:02:50.760 Not flashy.

00:02:51.720 Not greedy.

00:02:52.500 Not dishonest.

00:02:54.300 Two, I learned that Ron Paul is very sincere about monetary policy.

00:02:59.820 Paul would give these stem winders about fiat currency and the gold standard and why the Fed was a scam.

00:03:09.500 And he drew enormous crowds, at least relative to the topic.

00:03:13.280 Now, at the time, again, this was 19 years ago.

00:03:16.060 No one was talking about the gold standard in public and getting anything but laughter and jeers.

00:03:22.100 You were a gold bug.

00:03:23.080 You were insane.

00:03:24.020 You were a moron.

00:03:26.560 Gold wasn't even a topic.

00:03:28.600 If you could check the transcripts from CNBC for the year 2007, gold probably not even mentioned.

00:03:37.480 It seemed crazy to care about monetary policy then.

00:03:42.100 But Ron Paul did and his audiences responded.

00:03:47.080 That was the first thing I noticed.

00:03:48.420 I had no idea this was a resonant issue.

00:03:50.920 I knew nothing about it.

00:03:51.880 So I assumed, since I lived in Washington and was pretty well informed, that no one else did anything about it either.

00:03:56.400 But I was wrong.

00:03:59.060 Tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands, in the end, millions of Americans were thinking about the stability and the strength of the U.S. dollar.

00:04:07.920 And they were convinced that excessive money printing since the early 1970s, when the dollar was detached from gold, which is to say from reality, when it became a purely fiat currency, redeemable for nothing, they were convinced that the U.S. dollar was weaker than their leaders said it was.

00:04:27.360 And they knew this because the price of goods they bought every week seemed to be going up over time and no one was mentioning it.

00:04:37.200 Or the goods themselves were becoming smaller.

00:04:40.100 There was shrinkage.

00:04:41.380 This is a well-known phenomenon now.

00:04:43.580 Back in 2007, people were talking about it quite as much.

00:04:47.340 If you were 37 in 2007, when you were in first grade in this country, a Snickers bar cost 20 cents.

00:05:00.580 By 2007, it cost nearly a dollar, and it was smaller.

00:05:04.980 In that and countless other ways, it was obvious that actually this currency wasn't worth what they told us it was, and it was becoming worth less.

00:05:14.500 And only Ron Paul was talking about that.

00:05:19.020 And he was making a number of other points, too.

00:05:21.580 One was that the United States wasn't actually deriving any benefit from all of these foreign wars.

00:05:27.780 That it just wasn't helping us at all.

00:05:30.480 And that in the end, maybe violence isn't the solution.

00:05:34.520 He wasn't making hostile points.

00:05:36.120 He certainly wasn't attacking anyone.

00:05:37.900 He was merely saying, this foreign policy, the foreign policy that led us into, say, the Iraq War, and into Syria, and into Libya, and into Vietnam, for that matter, isn't helping our country.

00:05:51.260 It's incredibly wasteful of money and human lives, and it doesn't bring the result they claim it does.

00:05:57.420 And that's basically all Ron Paul said.

00:05:59.320 He mostly wanted to talk about monetary policy and goals.

00:06:01.980 But for the crime of saying what he said about foreign policy, he was truly hated.

00:06:09.180 And the word went out, time to discredit Ron Paul.

00:06:12.000 Well, I had no idea any of this was going on until I filed my story to the New Republic at the end of 2007.

00:06:18.520 And it was kind of skeptical, but amused and affectionate.

00:06:22.280 I liked Ron Paul.

00:06:23.320 Who wouldn't like Ron Paul?

00:06:25.000 What a nice man.

00:06:25.960 I didn't understand some of what he was saying.

00:06:28.980 I didn't agree with other parts of it, but it wasn't hostile.

00:06:32.160 It was kind of detached and amused and sometimes bemused.

00:06:36.380 So I file it, and the editor says, oh, I like the story.

00:06:38.820 Good job.

00:06:39.340 We're done.

00:06:40.760 Then two days later, I got a call from that very same editor at the New Republic who said, we have a problem.

00:06:47.760 Ron Paul, it turns out, is a racist and an anti-Semite.

00:06:53.460 And I said, really, I'm not working for Ron Paul.

00:06:57.340 I've got no emotional attachment to the campaign, but he didn't seem like a bigot to me.

00:07:01.800 He seemed like a nice Christian man.

00:07:03.840 Oh, no, the editor said.

00:07:05.980 We sent out a reporter called Jamie Kerchick, a recent Yale graduate and a fervid neoconservative to go check into Ron Paul's background.

00:07:14.520 And it turns out that he had newsletters back in the 1980s that used racist terms.

00:07:21.340 And we think he's an anti-Semite based on his foreign policy.

00:07:25.480 I said, OK.

00:07:26.940 And so then the author of that piece, Jamie Kerchick, called me and kind of grilled me.

00:07:30.320 You spend time with this man, this bigot?

00:07:33.360 Said Jamie Kerchick?

00:07:36.060 Occupying the moral high ground immediately?

00:07:38.420 I said, I've got nothing to do with that.

00:07:40.100 I didn't hear Ron Paul say anything about it.

00:07:43.440 And they tried to kill my piece, but I pushed hard and it ran at the very end of 2007.

00:07:50.260 Not that anyone cares.

00:07:51.280 It's the New Republic and has a readership of like 1,900 people.

00:07:53.860 But I cared since I wrote the piece.

00:07:55.860 And then the very next issue, the first issue of 2008,

00:07:59.080 had a cover story by Jamie Kerchick on how you may have reached the wrong conclusion

00:08:04.940 about Ron Paul in the last issue.

00:08:07.120 Actually, the guy's a racist, an anti-Semite, probably.

00:08:12.040 Can't prove it, but of course he is.

00:08:14.820 White Christian guy, right winger.

00:08:17.760 The piece was actually called Angry White Man,

00:08:20.660 written about the least angry white man this country's ever produced.

00:08:25.440 People have called Ron Paul many things, and some of them may be true.

00:08:28.040 Angry, they've never called him, because he's definitely not angry, as you're about to see.

00:08:32.900 But they went out of their way, and by they, I mean organized neoconservatives,

00:08:38.000 to smear Ron Paul, not simply as wrong on the issues, in fact, not as wrong on the issues.

00:08:43.380 They didn't bother to engage on the issue, philosophically or practically,

00:08:47.720 but wrong as a person, unacceptable.

00:08:50.600 You are not allowed to like Ron Paul, because he's bad.

00:08:54.240 He's Nazi adjacent. 0.71

00:08:55.500 In fact, his family may be German.

00:09:01.360 That was 2008.

00:09:03.100 By the time Ron Paul, totally undeterred, by the way,

00:09:05.920 ran for president again in 2012,

00:09:09.380 they were foaming at the mouth,

00:09:11.100 not because the Ron Paul movement had become huge or inevitable,

00:09:14.400 he was never in danger of being elected president,

00:09:16.360 but because his decency itself was his calling card.

00:09:21.500 Ron Paul was clearly not a bad person,

00:09:23.560 no matter what they said about him, and his ideas made a kind of inherent sense.

00:09:27.460 There was a coherence to his worldview.

00:09:29.840 And that was a massive threat to the members of our media and commentariat

00:09:34.200 who'd like to use your tax dollars to fight wars on behalf of Israel.

00:09:37.260 That is just a fact.

00:09:39.120 And so the reaction to Ron Paul in that campaign was how to put it over the top.

00:09:45.300 For example, here was a young Ben Shapiro live-tweeting a Republican debate that year

00:09:51.760 that included Ron Paul.

00:09:53.960 We'll quote selected portions.

00:09:56.840 Quote,

00:09:57.520 Ron Paul is manifestly insane,

00:10:01.320 wrote a young Ben Shapiro,

00:10:03.200 who somehow got into Harvard.

00:10:04.460 You wonder how.

00:10:05.140 As in previous debates,

00:10:06.920 he's now gripping the pen as he would the neck of a Jew. 0.97

00:10:13.800 Mention writing that about somebody.

00:10:16.160 Accusing someone of wanting to murder,

00:10:18.740 in fact,

00:10:19.220 strangle to death,

00:10:20.240 quote,

00:10:20.500 a Jew.

00:10:22.380 That's a pretty serious thing to say about a person.

00:10:25.240 In fact,

00:10:25.560 that's slander.

00:10:27.240 And on what basis did a young Ben Shapiro of Harvard,

00:10:33.660 fresh off his deal with Facebook,

00:10:35.520 which he got somehow,

00:10:37.040 on what basis did he make such a claim?

00:10:39.340 Well,

00:10:39.560 on none,

00:10:42.400 Ron Paul never attacked the Jews,

00:10:43.820 has never attacked the Jews.

00:10:45.540 I bet my house,

00:10:46.280 Ron Paul has never had an unpleasant thought about the Jews or anyone else.

00:10:50.520 Again,

00:10:50.920 you'll judge for yourself in just a moment.

00:10:53.500 But that played no role,

00:10:56.240 in Ben Shapiro's slander.

00:10:59.060 Again,

00:10:59.920 this is December 15th,

00:11:01.300 2011,

00:11:02.040 Ben Shapiro live tweeting,

00:11:04.640 Gingrich almost drops his pen.

00:11:06.620 Ron Paul grabs it and rings it like the neck of a Jew.

00:11:10.780 Rick Perry had the memorable moments of the evening,

00:11:13.800 other than Ron Paul's corpse leaning toward the grave and strangling the Jews.

00:11:19.360 Again,

00:11:20.460 Ron Paul says sentiment is mixed about Israel and taking action against Iran.

00:11:25.160 Does Ron Paul know a Jew?

00:11:28.860 You could go check the transcript.

00:11:30.660 Probably unlikely,

00:11:31.600 Ron Paul used the word Jew.

00:11:33.480 He wasn't talking about Jews.

00:11:35.460 He was talking about the nation state of Israel,

00:11:37.420 the secular country with borders and a military and a government and a very sophisticated lobbying arm,

00:11:43.020 of which Ben Shapiro was a part,

00:11:45.360 trying to get the U.S.

00:11:46.320 taxpayer to foot the bill for another one of its wars.

00:11:48.360 It's that simple.

00:11:49.720 And he objected.

00:11:50.460 And everyone else on stage,

00:11:51.260 of course,

00:11:51.480 was for it.

00:11:52.240 Newt Gingrich obediently getting behind Israel, 0.88

00:11:54.320 as always.

00:11:55.680 He knows who pays the bills.

00:11:56.720 But Ron Paul,

00:11:57.980 who doesn't really care about money,

00:11:59.580 doesn't believe in fiat money anyway,

00:12:01.640 standing apart independently saying,

00:12:03.200 I don't think this is a good idea.

00:12:04.940 And Ben Shapiro,

00:12:06.500 among many others,

00:12:07.920 attacking him

00:12:08.920 as an anti-Semite.

00:12:12.100 Whoa.

00:12:13.520 Our new partner,

00:12:14.600 Dose,

00:12:15.000 is a way better option than Big Pharma.

00:12:18.340 That's not damning with faint praise.

00:12:20.120 Anything's a better option than Big Pharma.

00:12:21.980 There's a much better option.

00:12:24.060 Some things are just out of people's hands,

00:12:25.620 and cholesterol is often one of them.

00:12:27.580 Everyone gets blamed for getting bad cholesterol

00:12:30.000 because they eat crappy food.

00:12:31.900 But the truth is,

00:12:32.640 a lot of it's just genetic.

00:12:33.840 It runs in your family,

00:12:34.800 and there's not the lot you can do.

00:12:36.980 So Pharma decides,

00:12:38.800 the only option is take some pill.

00:12:42.300 And they can help,

00:12:43.260 but a lot of them have unintended consequences,

00:12:45.600 to put it mildly.

00:12:47.640 And if you don't quite trust that plan,

00:12:50.060 no one can blame you for it.

00:12:51.780 That's why you should think about Dose.

00:12:53.100 Very different.

00:12:53.780 Dose for cholesterol

00:12:55.060 is a clinically backed cholesterol support supplement.

00:12:58.200 Targets triglycerides,

00:12:59.520 HDL,

00:13:00.520 LDL,

00:13:01.240 total cholesterol.

00:13:02.520 A lot of people use it,

00:13:03.680 and the results have been remarkable for them.

00:13:05.680 And it's easy to take.

00:13:06.680 It's a daily two-ounce shot that tastes like mango.

00:13:09.200 So that means no pills,

00:13:10.220 no powders,

00:13:10.800 no injections.

00:13:11.880 And it works.

00:13:12.940 And it's filled with natural ingredients,

00:13:14.680 like turmeric,

00:13:15.820 not a bunch of weird chemicals

00:13:17.540 that you can't pronounce,

00:13:18.780 and may again have unintended consequences.

00:15:09.940 this isn't the first time

00:15:11.860 this dynamic has been in play in this country.

00:15:13.660 In fact,

00:15:13.940 it's been in play

00:15:14.580 every single time

00:15:16.400 anyone in the professional commentariat

00:15:18.960 dares to question

00:15:20.280 the military alliance

00:15:22.160 between the United States

00:15:22.920 and this foreign country

00:15:24.060 and the wars

00:15:24.960 that the United States

00:15:25.620 is fighting on its behalf.

00:15:27.400 That is somehow an attack

00:15:29.140 on an entire religion

00:15:30.800 or on an entire people.

00:15:32.940 That of course is slander.

00:15:35.020 It's untrue.

00:15:36.480 It will inevitably get people killed

00:15:39.140 when you say that.

00:15:40.320 But they say it anyway

00:15:41.040 because it's effective.

00:15:41.800 So they hated Ron Paul.

00:15:45.840 And a big part of the reason

00:15:47.340 is because

00:15:48.020 he opposed their wars.

00:15:50.760 But there's another reason.

00:15:52.100 It wasn't just on foreign policy

00:15:53.540 that Ron Paul made people mad.

00:15:55.800 What really enraged

00:15:57.740 the entire

00:16:00.520 Washington, D.C.

00:16:04.100 commentary class

00:16:05.020 about Ron Paul

00:16:05.880 is that he was right.

00:16:08.360 Not that he was lying.

00:16:09.840 Not that he was hateful.

00:16:10.760 Not that he was a secret

00:16:11.760 racist or Nazi.

00:16:13.780 All untrue.

00:16:14.640 But they wouldn't care

00:16:15.580 if those things were true.

00:16:17.220 What really made them mad

00:16:18.780 is that Ron Paul

00:16:20.520 precisely, crisply,

00:16:22.940 and honestly

00:16:23.840 diagnosed the problem

00:16:25.260 and predicted the result

00:16:27.120 years in advance.

00:16:29.060 Ron Paul,

00:16:29.760 in political terms,

00:16:30.540 is what we call a prophet.

00:16:33.020 And if there's one thing

00:16:34.440 we know about prophets,

00:16:36.180 is that they usually get stoned

00:16:37.520 to death by angry crowds.

00:16:39.240 In fact, almost always.

00:16:41.600 People hate

00:16:42.600 being told the truth

00:16:43.980 about future events,

00:16:45.360 particularly when they're

00:16:46.080 implicated in the causes

00:16:47.220 of those disasters.

00:16:48.640 They just hate it.

00:16:49.880 Nobody wants to hear

00:16:50.960 about how they're

00:16:51.440 on the wrong path.

00:16:52.600 And so people who call it early

00:16:54.120 are 100% of the time

00:16:56.580 hated for it.

00:16:57.420 They're not rewarded.

00:16:58.380 They're not given some prize.

00:16:59.940 There's no Nobel Prize

00:17:01.100 for predicting the future.

00:17:03.560 There's only a jail sentence

00:17:05.040 or slander from Ben Shapiro

00:17:06.960 and Jeffrey Epstein's friends,

00:17:09.360 the New Republic,

00:17:10.180 and the rest of the liars.

00:17:13.220 And Ron Paul,

00:17:14.240 of all observers

00:17:16.420 of American society,

00:17:18.360 may have gotten it

00:17:19.500 more precisely right

00:17:21.240 than anyone.

00:17:22.420 And if you don't believe it,

00:17:24.180 here's a selection

00:17:25.400 of Ron Paul predictions

00:17:27.440 from 2002.

00:17:29.860 Keep in mind,

00:17:30.840 that was almost 25 years ago,

00:17:32.580 and Ron Paul saw it clearly.

00:17:34.820 Watch.

00:17:35.660 Mr. Speaker,

00:17:37.160 our government intervention

00:17:38.360 in the economy,

00:17:39.440 the private affairs

00:17:40.360 of citizens,

00:17:41.260 and the internal affairs

00:17:42.240 of foreign countries

00:17:43.180 leads to uncertainty

00:17:44.800 and many unintended consequences.

00:17:47.480 Here are some of the consequences

00:17:48.760 about which we should be concerned.

00:17:51.860 I predict U.S. taxpayers

00:17:54.420 will pay to rebuild Palestine, 0.97

00:17:57.540 both the West Bank

00:17:58.460 and the Gaza,

00:18:00.180 as well as Afghanistan.

00:18:02.580 U.S. taxpayers paid

00:18:04.080 to bomb these areas,

00:18:05.600 so we will be expected

00:18:06.840 to rebuild them.

00:18:10.640 Peace of sorts

00:18:11.580 will come to the Middle East, 0.99

00:18:13.080 but will be short-lived.

00:18:14.800 There will be big promises

00:18:15.920 of more U.S. money

00:18:17.020 and weapons flowing to Israel

00:18:18.500 and to Arab countries

00:18:19.940 allied with the United States.

00:18:22.500 Federal Reserve policy

00:18:23.580 will continue

00:18:24.280 at an expanding rate

00:18:25.920 with massive credit expansion,

00:18:28.540 which will make

00:18:29.360 the dollar crisis worse.

00:18:30.880 Gold will be seen

00:18:32.480 as an alternative

00:18:33.240 to paper money

00:18:34.160 as it returns

00:18:35.060 to its historic role

00:18:36.900 as money.

00:18:38.200 Military and police powers

00:18:39.480 will grow,

00:18:40.160 satisfying the conservatives.

00:18:41.800 The welfare state,

00:18:43.380 both domestic and international,

00:18:45.140 will expand,

00:18:46.100 satisfying the liberals.

00:18:47.780 Both sides

00:18:48.480 will endorse

00:18:49.000 military adventurism overseas.

00:18:51.840 During the next decade,

00:18:52.980 the American people

00:18:53.660 will become poorer

00:18:54.640 and less free,

00:18:56.120 while they become

00:18:57.100 more dependent

00:18:57.780 on the government

00:18:58.500 for economic security.

00:19:01.000 The war will prove 0.76

00:19:03.180 to be divisive

00:19:04.120 with emotions

00:19:05.000 and hatred

00:19:05.520 growing between

00:19:06.220 the various factions

00:19:07.280 and special interests

00:19:08.280 that drive our policies

00:19:09.960 in the Middle East.

00:19:11.720 Agitation from more

00:19:12.940 class warfare

00:19:14.180 will succeed

00:19:15.200 in dividing us domestically.

00:19:17.840 And believe it or not,

00:19:18.820 I expect lobbyists

00:19:20.100 will thrive more than ever

00:19:21.700 during the dangerous period

00:19:23.400 of chaos.

00:19:24.180 I have no timetable

00:19:26.220 for these predictions,

00:19:27.380 but just in case,

00:19:28.700 keep them around

00:19:29.460 and look at them

00:19:30.420 in five to ten years.

00:19:32.160 Let's hope and pray

00:19:33.220 that I'm wrong

00:19:34.580 on all accounts.

00:19:36.580 Ah!

00:19:37.800 It makes the hair 0.83

00:19:38.920 on your arms go up.

00:19:41.520 Imagine having a vision

00:19:43.300 of the future

00:19:44.120 that precise.

00:19:45.100 Would you be able to sleep?

00:19:46.300 Somehow Ron Paul

00:19:47.040 has been able to.

00:19:48.040 He's 90 years old.

00:19:48.820 You'll see in a second.

00:19:50.120 Looks like he's had

00:19:50.740 a good night's sleep

00:19:51.480 in the last 24 hours.

00:19:52.880 But those predictions

00:19:54.400 are so precise

00:19:55.920 that it's spooky.

00:19:58.720 He predicts

00:19:59.980 massive credit expansion

00:20:01.520 before the global

00:20:02.520 financial crisis.

00:20:03.320 This is six years

00:20:04.320 before 2008.

00:20:06.260 He predicts

00:20:07.180 the inevitable expansion

00:20:09.040 in both military

00:20:10.140 adventurism

00:20:11.040 and domestic

00:20:12.940 police powers.

00:20:14.000 He predicts

00:20:14.460 that both sides

00:20:15.060 will support this.

00:20:16.240 He predicts

00:20:16.700 that the dollar

00:20:17.220 will become weaker

00:20:18.020 and the gold

00:20:19.220 will rise

00:20:19.780 in compensation.

00:20:20.620 He predicts

00:20:22.460 every major trend

00:20:24.320 of the last 25 years

00:20:26.440 precisely.

00:20:29.640 And so you have to ask

00:20:30.460 how did he do that?

00:20:32.420 He's not into witchcraft.

00:20:33.780 He's a conventional 0.66

00:20:34.580 Protestant Christian.

00:20:36.660 He doesn't have

00:20:37.880 a gypsy 1.00

00:20:38.880 telling him the future.

00:20:40.020 No, instead

00:20:40.480 he relies on

00:20:41.620 principles

00:20:43.460 that he believes in

00:20:45.080 and a very simple

00:20:46.720 moral framework.

00:20:47.880 Ron Paul is often

00:20:49.780 described as

00:20:50.660 a libertarian

00:20:51.880 but that both

00:20:53.600 over and under

00:20:54.760 states the case.

00:20:56.740 In fact,

00:20:57.980 Ron Paul is

00:20:58.580 fundamentally

00:20:59.020 a moral voice.

00:21:01.180 Ron Paul opposes

00:21:02.540 lying,

00:21:04.120 stealing,

00:21:05.020 cheating,

00:21:05.680 and murder.

00:21:06.620 It's that simple.

00:21:08.640 This isn't

00:21:09.260 complex

00:21:10.760 Joseph Fletcher

00:21:11.660 situational ethics.

00:21:12.980 It's no.

00:21:14.060 Lying, 0.99

00:21:15.080 stealing,

00:21:15.980 cheating,

00:21:16.220 and murder

00:21:17.000 are wrong.

00:21:18.140 They're always wrong.

00:21:19.160 They're wrong

00:21:19.460 when you do them.

00:21:20.380 They're wrong

00:21:20.660 when the U.S.

00:21:21.140 government does them.

00:21:22.080 They're wrong

00:21:22.360 when a client state

00:21:23.180 in the Middle East

00:21:23.640 does them.

00:21:24.260 They're always wrong.

00:21:25.520 Period.

00:21:27.180 That is Ron Paul's

00:21:28.760 framework for the world.

00:21:30.400 That's his actual ideology.

00:21:33.180 And it turns out

00:21:34.280 if you stick to that,

00:21:36.180 you can see the future

00:21:37.440 pretty precisely.

00:21:38.780 So the new year is here

00:21:39.700 but that does not mean

00:21:40.760 you've got to overhaul

00:21:41.620 your whole life

00:21:42.780 despite claims to the contrary.

00:21:44.360 You don't have to take

00:21:44.760 drastic measures.

00:21:46.140 Make a few changes

00:21:47.100 here and there

00:21:47.820 and you'll be a lot better off

00:21:49.620 and you can start

00:21:50.120 with the snacks

00:21:50.820 in your pantry.

00:21:52.680 Now products from

00:21:53.300 standard American chip brands

00:21:54.900 are, let's be honest,

00:21:56.260 pretty repulsive.

00:21:57.280 Filled with chemicals

00:21:58.100 that make you feel

00:21:58.880 heavy and bloated.

00:22:00.220 They don't even taste

00:22:00.960 that good.

00:22:02.100 They're not good for you.

00:22:03.120 We recommend an upgrade

00:22:12.460 sea salt,

00:22:17.880 just food,

00:22:18.480 actual food.

00:24:24.160 Outstanding offer.

00:24:25.500 So with that,

00:24:26.240 we want to show you

00:24:27.780 an hour-long interview

00:24:29.000 we did today with Ron Paul,

00:24:30.880 who, as we said,

00:24:31.480 is 90 years old

00:24:32.540 and he's in amazing shape.

00:24:33.800 More evidence that

00:24:35.220 clean living

00:24:36.160 and clear thinking

00:24:37.200 pay off over time.

00:24:39.560 But we also thought

00:24:40.500 it would just be worth

00:24:41.000 pausing and saying

00:24:42.060 congratulations, Ron Paul,

00:24:44.060 and shame on the rest of us.

00:24:46.960 Him for his genius

00:24:48.100 and us for not recognizing it

00:24:49.800 at the time.

00:24:50.440 And I'm definitely

00:24:51.040 in that category.

00:24:52.580 But the key to getting better

00:24:53.600 is repenting.

00:24:54.380 We're going to repent

00:24:54.980 of our skepticism

00:24:55.780 of Ron Paul's predictions.

00:24:57.480 They've been proven true 0.95

00:24:58.580 and now the man

00:25:00.340 who predicted them,

00:25:02.200 Ron Paul.

00:25:03.800 Congressman Ron Paul,

00:25:04.780 thank you very much

00:25:05.740 for doing this.

00:25:07.840 It's great to be with you.

00:25:09.420 Oh, gosh.

00:25:09.960 It's an honor to have you.

00:25:11.980 I remember traveling with you

00:25:14.280 on a campaign

00:25:15.100 that you did

00:25:15.780 in the fall of 2007

00:25:18.120 and you gave speeches

00:25:20.540 about the Federal Reserve

00:25:21.700 and I remember thinking,

00:25:23.120 I know nothing

00:25:23.820 about the Federal Reserve.

00:25:25.240 I don't see how

00:25:26.040 this is a big issue.

00:25:27.400 I was completely wrong.

00:25:28.900 How were you able

00:25:31.340 to tell

00:25:32.160 almost 20 years ago

00:25:33.460 that monetary policy

00:25:34.860 would determine

00:25:35.560 the future of the country?

00:25:37.640 Well, it's because

00:25:38.560 I got fascinated

00:25:39.500 with this issue

00:25:40.720 a long time ago

00:25:41.860 and I studied

00:25:43.300 Austrian economics

00:25:44.320 and they emphasize

00:25:46.100 these various things.

00:25:48.320 They teach you

00:25:49.180 to think about

00:25:50.300 the ramifications

00:25:51.760 of policy

00:25:52.760 and they also

00:25:53.860 warn us

00:25:55.520 who are involved

00:25:57.000 not to try

00:25:57.920 to protect

00:25:58.480 the day

00:25:58.940 things are going

00:25:59.660 to happen.

00:26:00.900 But trends

00:26:01.860 are very important

00:26:02.900 and if you,

00:26:04.180 for instance,

00:26:04.880 if you print

00:26:05.360 too much money,

00:26:06.540 the value

00:26:06.900 of the money

00:26:07.360 goes down.

00:26:08.540 Yeah.

00:26:08.640 And history shows,

00:26:10.120 the history is very important

00:26:11.260 because

00:26:11.680 countries have

00:26:13.340 practiced

00:26:15.360 these issues

00:26:16.400 and trying

00:26:16.920 to get a free lunch

00:26:17.920 and, you know,

00:26:18.720 they've been doing it

00:26:19.420 even before Roman days,

00:26:21.600 you know,

00:26:22.100 the abuse

00:26:22.520 of the monetary system.

00:26:23.960 So monetary policy

00:26:25.100 became fascinating

00:26:26.240 with me

00:26:27.780 and it was

00:26:28.620 especially emphasized,

00:26:30.380 you know,

00:26:31.020 on August 15th, 1971

00:26:32.780 because the predictions

00:26:34.600 of Austrian economics

00:26:36.100 during the 60s

00:26:37.780 when I was reading

00:26:38.520 about economics

00:26:39.520 and especially

00:26:40.640 economics,

00:26:42.160 Mises and Hayek

00:26:43.080 and others,

00:26:44.240 they said

00:26:45.920 this would happen

00:26:46.720 and that was

00:26:47.480 when we,

00:26:48.020 that was our first

00:26:48.760 declaration

00:26:49.300 of bankruptcy.

00:26:51.280 We said,

00:26:51.940 yeah,

00:26:52.240 we printed money,

00:26:53.160 we passed it out,

00:26:54.020 we said it's as good

00:26:54.780 as gold,

00:26:55.580 $35 an ounce.

00:26:56.920 It was all a fib.

00:26:58.140 They knew,

00:26:58.660 they had to know

00:27:00.900 a little bit

00:27:02.300 about history

00:27:02.920 but they always think

00:27:03.900 this time

00:27:04.680 is going to be different.

00:27:05.660 We're smarter

00:27:06.300 than they are.

00:27:07.100 We have computers

00:27:08.160 and they talk

00:27:09.880 into themselves

00:27:10.560 and they convince

00:27:11.500 themselves

00:27:11.880 that they can get by

00:27:13.100 and keep

00:27:16.360 from the trouble

00:27:17.560 that printing money

00:27:18.860 and subsidizing

00:27:20.420 big government

00:27:21.020 always fails.

00:27:23.680 So,

00:27:24.400 for those who

00:27:25.660 haven't followed this

00:27:26.640 and may not know

00:27:27.260 what you're referring to,

00:27:28.340 August of 1971,

00:27:30.880 the Nixon administration,

00:27:32.240 what happened

00:27:32.960 that day

00:27:33.540 that was the

00:27:34.100 declaration of bankruptcy?

00:27:36.020 Well,

00:27:36.260 I can remember it

00:27:37.140 precisely

00:27:37.660 because I had

00:27:38.740 been very much involved

00:27:40.100 but not anticipating

00:27:41.200 what I heard

00:27:42.100 one Sunday night.

00:27:43.060 I was sitting

00:27:44.040 in front

00:27:44.640 of the television

00:27:45.920 watching

00:27:46.540 the news

00:27:47.840 come in

00:27:48.340 and a special

00:27:49.120 news clip

00:27:51.460 and

00:27:52.400 they put up

00:27:54.340 President Nixon

00:27:55.160 and all of a sudden

00:27:56.560 boy did my eyes

00:27:57.920 open.

00:27:58.440 Boy,

00:27:59.500 the longer

00:28:00.340 that short speech

00:28:01.380 went,

00:28:01.700 the more my eyes

00:28:02.480 opened

00:28:02.800 and I said,

00:28:03.820 this is a big deal.

00:28:05.700 It's going to have

00:28:06.380 an effect.

00:28:07.100 It might be

00:28:07.560 one of the biggest

00:28:08.360 things that ever

00:28:09.040 happened in

00:28:09.520 monetary history

00:28:10.440 and it was

00:28:11.700 just a major

00:28:12.560 date

00:28:13.120 for what

00:28:14.720 our country

00:28:15.280 is against

00:28:16.020 and it was

00:28:17.460 so clear cut

00:28:18.580 to me

00:28:19.100 that bad

00:28:20.500 stuff is going

00:28:21.440 to happen

00:28:21.960 from this

00:28:22.560 and we're

00:28:23.160 approaching that

00:28:24.000 time when bad

00:28:24.800 stuff will really

00:28:25.720 be happening

00:28:26.280 to us

00:28:26.700 because you

00:28:27.600 just can't

00:28:28.500 print money

00:28:29.060 and lie

00:28:29.640 to the people

00:28:30.200 forever.

00:28:30.960 It's all

00:28:31.440 based on a lie

00:28:32.720 and it's fraud.

00:28:34.220 It's counterfeit

00:28:36.120 money

00:28:36.520 and people

00:28:38.080 without computers

00:28:39.160 know better.

00:28:40.840 People with

00:28:41.340 computers

00:28:41.860 are probably

00:28:42.500 distracted

00:28:43.120 because they

00:28:43.640 think the

00:28:44.180 computer is

00:28:44.940 going to

00:28:45.220 solve their

00:28:45.700 problem

00:28:46.200 and it

00:28:46.880 doesn't.

00:28:47.340 It gives

00:28:47.660 them

00:28:47.880 reassurance

00:28:48.740 and it

00:28:49.280 doesn't

00:28:49.580 work.

00:28:50.900 So that

00:28:51.120 was there

00:28:51.400 that Nixon

00:28:51.880 disconnected

00:28:53.460 the dollar

00:28:53.880 from gold.

00:28:54.420 You could

00:28:54.620 no longer

00:28:54.920 redeem

00:28:55.420 your dollars

00:28:56.140 for gold.

00:28:58.820 I have to

00:28:59.420 ask you,

00:29:00.960 the United

00:29:01.680 States

00:29:01.900 claims to

00:29:02.820 have,

00:29:03.160 the U.S.

00:29:03.460 government

00:29:03.640 claims to

00:29:04.200 have the

00:29:05.120 world's

00:29:05.400 largest gold

00:29:05.960 reserves.

00:29:06.960 Some of

00:29:07.380 them are

00:29:07.620 held in

00:29:08.000 Fort Knox.

00:29:08.580 They

00:29:08.680 haven't

00:29:09.080 actually

00:29:09.540 been

00:29:09.800 audited

00:29:10.260 in a

00:29:10.720 real way

00:29:11.300 in almost

00:29:12.180 100 years

00:29:12.780 despite the

00:29:13.540 lot of

00:29:14.320 lying about

00:29:14.840 it.

00:29:15.540 Why

00:29:16.060 haven't

00:29:17.040 America's

00:29:17.620 gold

00:29:17.840 reserves

00:29:18.160 been

00:29:18.420 audited

00:29:18.980 bar for

00:29:20.700 bar?

00:29:21.420 And what

00:29:22.120 do you

00:29:22.420 think that

00:29:23.220 tells us?

00:29:25.240 Well,

00:29:25.820 it's sort

00:29:26.060 of a

00:29:26.420 characteristic

00:29:27.040 of what

00:29:27.560 we're

00:29:27.780 dealing

00:29:28.120 with today

00:29:28.780 in the

00:29:29.120 current

00:29:29.360 events

00:29:29.920 that you

00:29:31.420 can't tell

00:29:31.960 the truth

00:29:32.460 because

00:29:32.980 truth is

00:29:34.940 treasonous

00:29:36.060 to

00:29:37.040 empires.

00:29:39.020 And they

00:29:40.300 can't tell

00:29:41.400 the truth,

00:29:42.280 but they

00:29:42.720 also have

00:29:43.560 to have

00:29:44.180 the people

00:29:45.160 behind it.

00:29:46.000 Somebody

00:29:46.200 has to

00:29:46.580 get something

00:29:47.180 from it.

00:29:48.080 And the

00:29:48.580 deep state,

00:29:49.520 the military

00:29:50.140 industrial complex,

00:29:51.640 and the

00:29:53.060 drug companies,

00:29:54.700 they get

00:29:55.200 something from

00:29:55.960 it.

00:29:56.420 But it

00:29:56.820 finances

00:29:57.340 bad things,

00:29:59.160 and therefore

00:30:00.220 they're talked

00:30:00.900 into it.

00:30:01.340 So the people

00:30:01.920 support it,

00:30:02.700 and then

00:30:03.340 other people

00:30:03.920 say we

00:30:04.360 know better

00:30:05.000 and we'll

00:30:05.380 be cautious

00:30:06.000 and we

00:30:06.480 know how

00:30:06.820 to run

00:30:07.140 a monetary

00:30:07.940 system better

00:30:09.660 than ever.

00:30:10.860 But they

00:30:11.220 don't.

00:30:11.660 It looks

00:30:12.340 like a

00:30:13.300 free lunch,

00:30:14.360 but it

00:30:14.660 isn't.

00:30:15.120 It's based

00:30:15.620 on,

00:30:16.280 if they

00:30:17.640 had dealt

00:30:18.100 with it

00:30:18.680 in a

00:30:19.300 serious way,

00:30:20.240 in a moral

00:30:20.920 sense,

00:30:21.960 that printing

00:30:22.440 money and

00:30:23.060 telling the

00:30:23.520 people that

00:30:24.020 it's backed

00:30:24.480 by gold

00:30:25.060 and it's

00:30:25.940 steady and

00:30:26.540 we could

00:30:26.920 have the

00:30:27.660 currency,

00:30:28.760 the reserve

00:30:29.180 currency of

00:30:29.720 the world,

00:30:30.520 and we're

00:30:31.000 going to get

00:30:31.420 rich over.

00:30:31.980 Well,

00:30:32.480 that was

00:30:32.740 half true

00:30:33.540 because it

00:30:34.380 wasn't true,

00:30:35.240 but it

00:30:35.520 worked for

00:30:36.000 a little

00:30:36.260 while and

00:30:36.780 it still

00:30:37.160 works to

00:30:37.720 a degree.

00:30:38.780 But I

00:30:39.080 think the

00:30:39.400 handwriting is

00:30:39.960 on the

00:30:40.280 wall.

00:30:41.020 This is

00:30:41.340 not going

00:30:41.700 to continue

00:30:42.180 and I

00:30:42.520 think that's

00:30:42.920 why we've

00:30:43.680 seen an

00:30:44.380 explosion of

00:30:45.820 our problems

00:30:46.580 and the

00:30:47.520 one thing

00:30:47.980 that I look

00:30:48.540 at,

00:30:48.880 or two

00:30:49.440 things because

00:30:50.140 they're one

00:30:50.540 and the

00:30:50.800 same,

00:30:51.360 is the

00:30:51.720 debt going

00:30:52.400 up and

00:30:53.780 what the

00:30:54.240 price of

00:30:54.600 gold is.

00:30:55.420 Because the

00:30:55.980 price of

00:30:56.400 gold,

00:30:57.360 although it

00:30:57.900 can be

00:30:58.280 rigged and

00:30:58.900 delayed,

00:30:59.960 but ultimately

00:31:01.000 the price of

00:31:02.160 gold is

00:31:02.640 telling you

00:31:03.080 there's

00:31:03.320 problems out

00:31:04.360 there.

00:31:04.700 So there's

00:31:05.340 something big

00:31:06.040 going on,

00:31:07.240 but it's

00:31:07.680 just sort of

00:31:08.100 a catch-up of

00:31:09.040 all the things

00:31:09.560 that we've

00:31:09.940 been doing,

00:31:10.940 pretending that

00:31:11.840 we can police

00:31:12.600 the world,

00:31:13.680 threaten

00:31:14.300 everybody,

00:31:15.280 drop bombs

00:31:15.920 on people,

00:31:17.060 defy the

00:31:17.660 Constitution,

00:31:18.660 and then

00:31:19.000 punish the

00:31:20.300 people who

00:31:21.000 want to tell

00:31:21.760 us that,

00:31:22.400 the few we

00:31:22.980 have in

00:31:23.460 Washington.

00:31:23.840 They want

00:31:24.540 to reveal

00:31:25.040 the truth,

00:31:26.200 but they

00:31:26.940 suffer the

00:31:29.820 problem because

00:31:31.100 they get

00:31:31.600 blamed for

00:31:32.040 treason.

00:31:33.080 They're

00:31:33.340 defying what

00:31:34.620 we said.

00:31:36.060 I was there

00:31:37.200 for a little

00:31:37.700 bit and

00:31:38.500 they would

00:31:39.280 charge,

00:31:40.040 I felt

00:31:41.220 they didn't

00:31:42.000 bother me

00:31:42.500 too much,

00:31:43.120 so I left

00:31:43.720 me alone,

00:31:44.380 but they

00:31:44.720 would say,

00:31:45.440 oh, you

00:31:45.660 don't help

00:31:46.180 the president,

00:31:46.920 you don't

00:31:47.280 do this.

00:31:48.120 I said,

00:31:48.840 yes, but

00:31:49.540 why don't you

00:31:50.820 measure things

00:31:51.680 by whether or

00:31:52.800 not, we're

00:31:53.400 following the

00:31:54.380 oath of

00:31:54.920 office, and

00:31:56.260 that made

00:31:57.140 them mad.

00:31:58.760 I think

00:32:00.100 what they're

00:32:01.060 putting up

00:32:01.580 with now,

00:32:02.060 the few we

00:32:02.600 have, is

00:32:04.260 they're putting

00:32:05.200 up with

00:32:05.560 something much

00:32:06.300 worse because

00:32:06.940 the danger is

00:32:08.200 much worse,

00:32:08.860 and people

00:32:09.200 are gathering

00:32:10.340 around to

00:32:11.440 pick up the

00:32:11.960 pieces, who's

00:32:12.680 going to run

00:32:13.120 things, so

00:32:13.960 now we see

00:32:14.760 people talking

00:32:15.360 about, well,

00:32:16.220 we elect

00:32:17.020 fascists, and

00:32:18.340 we elect

00:32:19.580 communists,

00:32:20.940 and that's

00:32:22.020 out of

00:32:22.640 fear, because

00:32:23.500 people are

00:32:24.020 sensing, the

00:32:25.080 people are

00:32:25.660 always a

00:32:26.560 little bit

00:32:27.220 smarter and

00:32:27.920 ahead of what

00:32:29.140 the members

00:32:29.580 of Congress

00:32:30.200 are doing,

00:32:31.880 but most

00:32:32.220 people think

00:32:32.880 that congressmen

00:32:33.960 are smart and

00:32:34.640 they know what

00:32:35.060 to do.

00:32:35.820 No, the

00:32:36.560 people are

00:32:38.120 ahead of the

00:32:38.700 government and

00:32:42.280 the Congress,

00:32:43.100 and believe me,

00:32:44.060 if you just

00:32:44.600 listen to them,

00:32:45.980 they tell you

00:32:47.280 things that you

00:32:48.800 never hear when

00:32:50.220 you hear people

00:32:51.100 who are in

00:32:51.780 office, and

00:32:53.000 when times get

00:32:53.980 tough, the

00:32:54.740 sad part is

00:32:55.620 some of the

00:32:56.340 people who

00:32:56.860 know a little

00:32:57.680 bit better and

00:32:58.740 might want to

00:32:59.320 associate with

00:33:00.300 this radical

00:33:01.380 idea that you

00:33:02.320 take your oath

00:33:02.880 of office

00:33:03.280 seriously, they

00:33:05.420 know better,

00:33:06.760 but ultimately,

00:33:08.980 though, I'm

00:33:10.140 always encouraged,

00:33:11.020 I'm not

00:33:11.320 discouraged, because

00:33:12.000 I always think

00:33:12.600 truth wins out

00:33:13.680 in the end,

00:33:14.760 truth works,

00:33:15.820 and I

00:33:16.800 figure, well,

00:33:17.500 if they don't

00:33:18.120 listen to me

00:33:18.780 now, maybe

00:33:19.780 somebody will

00:33:20.360 scratch something

00:33:21.120 down, maybe

00:33:22.020 somebody will

00:33:22.500 read it, because

00:33:23.360 I think the

00:33:24.180 majority of the

00:33:25.340 people want to

00:33:26.040 hear it, you

00:33:27.140 know, they do

00:33:28.460 want to hear it,

00:33:29.600 and I think

00:33:30.180 that's why when

00:33:31.080 I say some of

00:33:32.200 them, that

00:33:32.680 radical, he

00:33:33.340 can't go, he's

00:33:34.220 going to be out

00:33:34.700 of office in no

00:33:35.520 time, and you

00:33:36.480 know, they put

00:33:37.440 us down, but I

00:33:39.580 think basically

00:33:40.720 the nature of

00:33:42.500 mankind is, they 1.00

00:33:44.620 have this

00:33:45.680 challenge between

00:33:47.480 good and evil, and

00:33:49.160 I think that, you

00:33:50.860 know, the good

00:33:51.880 part of a free

00:33:52.780 society is a

00:33:54.100 rocket road to

00:33:54.880 go, but I

00:33:55.620 think ultimately

00:33:56.660 people will come

00:33:58.020 down, and right 0.80

00:33:59.380 now we're in the

00:34:01.000 interim of it, we're

00:34:02.060 trying to sort it

00:34:03.160 out, and there's a

00:34:04.140 lot of people really

00:34:05.400 mixed up, and it's

00:34:06.520 going to, that

00:34:07.900 difficulty is going

00:34:09.880 to get much

00:34:10.640 worse, because the

00:34:12.100 system that we've

00:34:13.100 lived on and

00:34:14.440 off, you know,

00:34:15.960 special interest

00:34:17.000 running things,

00:34:18.260 that's coming to an

00:34:19.260 end, I'm convinced

00:34:20.220 of that.

00:34:20.860 You can feel these

00:34:21.320 people here, they

00:34:22.480 just came out of

00:34:22.920 the dunes, we've

00:34:23.540 got to be around

00:34:24.360 100 of them, and

00:34:25.120 now a boat's going

00:34:25.680 to try to come

00:34:26.060 around and pick

00:34:26.380 them up.

00:34:26.700 In a single

00:34:27.200 generation, Europe

00:34:28.200 has changed

00:34:28.940 forever.

00:34:30.200 This is the result

00:34:30.920 of decades of

00:34:32.000 mass migration, more

00:34:33.340 than it has in the

00:34:34.140 last 2,000 years.

00:34:35.500 Whoa, easy, easy,

00:34:36.360 easy.

00:34:36.620 Whoa, whoa, whoa.

00:34:37.680 We followed one of

00:34:38.580 the deadliest trade

00:34:39.400 routes on Earth, from

00:34:40.380 Africa to the

00:34:41.400 Canary Islands,

00:34:42.100 to Spain, France,

00:34:43.040 ending in the UK.

00:34:44.180 In many cities,

00:34:45.200 natives are now the 1.00

00:34:45.900 minority.

00:34:46.380 This was not an

00:34:46.960 accident, it didn't

00:34:47.580 happen organically,

00:34:48.560 you're not imagining

00:34:49.320 it.

00:34:49.680 The governments of

00:34:50.900 Western Europe and

00:34:52.080 the United States and

00:34:53.180 Canada, New Zealand,

00:34:54.040 and Australia did this

00:34:55.360 on purpose to their

00:34:56.540 own people.

00:34:57.580 They opened their

00:34:58.180 border and they paid

00:34:59.240 for the rest of the

00:35:00.000 world, the third

00:35:00.600 world, to move into

00:35:01.440 their countries.

00:35:02.160 This is what happens

00:35:03.020 when you let a bunch

00:35:03.860 of foreigners completely 1.00

00:35:05.000 overtake your country.

00:35:06.380 Along the way, we

00:35:07.180 uncovered the entire

00:35:08.040 system of criminal

00:35:09.120 networks, NGOs, and

00:35:10.640 criminal governments

00:35:11.500 coordinating together

00:35:12.520 to destroy the West.

00:36:03.640 Insurance Company.

00:36:04.900 Well, I think you're

00:36:05.780 right.

00:36:06.240 And part of the problem is

00:36:07.660 it doesn't work anymore.

00:36:09.300 Part of the problem is

00:36:10.180 everyone knows what's

00:36:11.480 going on.

00:36:12.180 Thanks to the internet,

00:36:12.940 it's hard to lie to

00:36:13.960 people in the way that

00:36:14.800 government used to.

00:36:17.200 What happens then?

00:36:19.460 So if our monetary

00:36:20.380 system, our political

00:36:21.480 system, the social

00:36:23.020 fabric, all of them

00:36:24.600 come undone at once,

00:36:26.100 where does that leave

00:36:27.640 us?

00:36:27.960 What happens next?

00:36:29.700 All depends on what

00:36:30.920 the people who think

00:36:32.500 are the thought leaders

00:36:34.440 who have written about

00:36:35.820 it and described the

00:36:36.940 society you want.

00:36:38.200 The people who

00:36:38.900 promote liberty.

00:36:39.800 the people will

00:36:44.000 recognize that.

00:36:45.300 We see a couple

00:36:46.240 people really getting

00:36:47.840 the grief in

00:36:49.100 Washington that are

00:36:50.040 in office and

00:36:51.000 they're saying the

00:36:51.720 right thing.

00:36:53.500 And you have to be

00:36:55.180 able to pick that

00:36:56.060 out and find out

00:36:56.900 what they're talking

00:36:57.620 about.

00:36:58.140 So it is education

00:36:59.660 against the

00:37:00.580 politicians.

00:37:01.920 And I think

00:37:02.920 that I think

00:37:04.440 basically that

00:37:05.620 people, if they have

00:37:07.240 the information,

00:37:08.020 they will do the

00:37:09.400 right thing or lean

00:37:10.240 in that direction.

00:37:11.580 But I also think

00:37:13.200 you have to pay the

00:37:13.820 bills.

00:37:14.600 And to pay the

00:37:15.180 bills now is what

00:37:16.360 our national debt

00:37:17.420 recognizes.

00:37:18.500 You know, they say

00:37:19.340 it's, you know, a

00:37:21.420 few trillion dollars

00:37:22.680 here and there.

00:37:23.260 It's going to be

00:37:23.660 $40 trillion.

00:37:24.820 But it's much

00:37:26.000 bigger than that.

00:37:26.980 Everything is based

00:37:28.020 on the falsehood of

00:37:30.320 the paper currency

00:37:31.440 and the printing of

00:37:33.020 money.

00:37:33.700 And now people are

00:37:35.600 waking up to this.

00:37:36.660 People are starting

00:37:37.360 to realize that

00:37:38.640 just having a lot

00:37:39.520 of money, they

00:37:40.000 haven't seen the

00:37:40.840 direct correction yet

00:37:42.760 because they're still

00:37:43.840 saying, oh, yeah,

00:37:45.200 my prices are going

00:37:46.120 up.

00:37:46.540 I need more money

00:37:47.380 from the government.

00:37:48.580 You know, the

00:37:49.120 lack of connections.

00:37:51.520 And I think what I

00:37:52.540 see my responsibility

00:37:53.760 as an individual

00:37:54.760 is that if I think

00:37:57.480 that I'm on the

00:37:58.440 right track, I should

00:37:59.400 try to share that

00:38:00.300 with other people.

00:38:02.000 And I think it's

00:38:03.320 very receptive, the

00:38:04.400 little bit of

00:38:05.360 opportunity I had

00:38:06.420 with running for

00:38:07.320 the president.

00:38:07.780 I was so impressed

00:38:09.540 with the willingness

00:38:10.760 of people to listen.

00:38:12.760 And there was

00:38:13.840 great support.

00:38:15.780 It's the thought

00:38:16.540 leaders of the

00:38:17.220 country, what we

00:38:17.900 have at our, you

00:38:18.560 know, our

00:38:18.900 universities are,

00:38:20.080 you know, a strong

00:38:21.320 detriment, you know,

00:38:22.760 to what we have.

00:38:24.060 The foreign policy

00:38:25.580 and the power in

00:38:27.900 Washington, you know,

00:38:29.540 a lot of good

00:38:30.440 people, when the

00:38:31.640 conditions get tougher

00:38:33.040 over or you have

00:38:34.400 a charlatan that

00:38:35.260 can bamboozle

00:38:36.860 people, they drift

00:38:38.160 over.

00:38:38.740 So right now,

00:38:39.620 Washington, Washington

00:38:40.940 is not helping us

00:38:42.080 out, but there's a

00:38:43.240 lot of other people

00:38:44.280 that are that I, I,

00:38:46.440 I, I happen to be

00:38:48.000 an optimist because I

00:38:49.720 think the information

00:38:50.540 is getting out.

00:38:51.600 We have good talk

00:38:52.580 show hosts out there

00:38:53.920 and things listen.

00:38:55.460 And I think people

00:38:56.980 want to do the right

00:38:58.120 thing, but it is a big

00:39:00.040 job and I think

00:39:01.600 it's the most

00:39:02.840 important thing

00:39:03.520 is not to have

00:39:04.340 more guns and

00:39:05.980 more, more

00:39:07.400 government.

00:39:08.200 You need more

00:39:08.760 education on

00:39:09.560 understanding what

00:39:10.860 freedom is all

00:39:11.760 about and what, why

00:39:13.040 we've had greatness

00:39:14.020 in this country and

00:39:15.580 the information is

00:39:16.980 available there.

00:39:18.100 That's when I get

00:39:18.860 excited when I

00:39:19.640 realize that so

00:39:21.440 many good things

00:39:22.220 do happen, but

00:39:24.120 we still have the

00:39:26.320 majority of the

00:39:26.860 people who got

00:39:27.540 hold of the

00:39:28.080 government power.

00:39:28.900 they have gotten

00:39:30.360 us into this mess.

00:39:31.540 So it's up to the

00:39:32.180 people to wake up

00:39:33.600 and make sure our

00:39:35.040 ideas get out there.

00:39:37.200 You made reference

00:39:37.740 a couple of times to

00:39:38.780 good people in

00:39:39.960 Washington.

00:39:40.360 You said there are

00:39:40.940 a couple of truth

00:39:41.880 tellers in Washington

00:39:42.940 who are under

00:39:44.180 attack.

00:39:44.960 Who are you

00:39:45.600 referring to?

00:39:46.400 Who are those

00:39:46.900 people?

00:39:48.380 Well, the list is

00:39:49.540 so short.

00:39:51.500 Yes, it is.

00:39:53.160 I don't like to

00:39:54.900 pick out then

00:39:55.640 because somebody

00:39:56.460 else might be 95%

00:39:58.260 of what I like.

00:39:58.980 Some might be 80%.

00:40:00.580 So, no, there's

00:40:02.500 only a couple.

00:40:04.080 Most people know

00:40:06.320 that I'm very

00:40:08.420 prejudiced and I'm

00:40:09.760 very biased because

00:40:11.080 I think my son's

00:40:11.960 doing a pretty good

00:40:12.680 job.

00:40:13.400 Yes.

00:40:13.680 And I think he

00:40:14.840 knows what's going

00:40:15.500 on.

00:40:16.280 And I think there

00:40:17.420 are others that are

00:40:18.540 doing that.

00:40:19.120 But I don't think

00:40:20.360 the answer is in

00:40:21.640 Washington.

00:40:22.420 I think the answer

00:40:23.300 is recognizing why

00:40:25.240 we have to get

00:40:26.420 away from

00:40:27.080 Washington and

00:40:28.200 we have to get

00:40:29.200 people to

00:40:29.800 understand.

00:40:30.960 So, the

00:40:31.200 educational system

00:40:32.320 is good.

00:40:33.180 But our

00:40:33.500 educational system

00:40:34.540 goes in the

00:40:35.960 wrong direction.

00:40:37.740 They, for

00:40:38.620 100 years, have

00:40:40.000 gone completely

00:40:41.120 away from the

00:40:41.840 original intent of

00:40:42.640 the Constitution.

00:40:44.080 So, I see it as

00:40:45.140 an educational

00:40:45.960 system.

00:40:46.780 I never dreamed

00:40:47.720 I'd ever go to

00:40:48.420 Congress.

00:40:48.900 I never dreamed

00:40:49.500 I'd stay very

00:40:50.280 long.

00:40:50.960 I never dreamed

00:40:51.720 that anybody

00:40:52.420 would pay any

00:40:52.980 attention.

00:40:53.940 But people

00:40:54.700 were starving.

00:40:55.860 They're starving

00:40:56.460 for somebody to

00:40:57.740 talk straight

00:40:58.700 with them.

00:40:59.840 And that, I

00:41:00.580 think, is, I

00:41:01.380 think there's some

00:41:02.320 very good things

00:41:03.800 going on.

00:41:04.720 But we have to

00:41:05.480 recognize the

00:41:06.260 truth of what's

00:41:07.380 happening.

00:41:08.460 And I think it's

00:41:09.540 ideological.

00:41:10.780 And I really,

00:41:12.680 deep down, I see

00:41:14.640 a lot of good

00:41:15.940 things happening.

00:41:17.220 But most

00:41:17.800 important is that

00:41:18.940 we recognize, you

00:41:20.640 know, the good

00:41:21.320 and the bad.

00:41:21.960 And I think

00:41:24.060 that sometimes I

00:41:25.760 wonder how we

00:41:26.700 did get some

00:41:27.560 attention in the

00:41:28.680 presidential races

00:41:29.620 because young

00:41:30.640 people, I was

00:41:31.680 so, I got

00:41:32.300 excited about

00:41:32.960 young people

00:41:33.720 would, you

00:41:34.760 know, they

00:41:35.860 were so

00:41:36.720 positive and

00:41:37.620 excited.

00:41:38.440 And I would

00:41:39.040 ask a young

00:41:39.640 person, I

00:41:40.440 said, I just

00:41:40.980 lectured to

00:41:41.920 you for an

00:41:42.480 hour.

00:41:43.360 I said, and

00:41:45.080 I, for

00:41:46.260 40, 45,

00:41:48.060 45 minutes,

00:41:49.140 all I did was

00:41:49.680 tell you what a

00:41:50.440 mess we

00:41:50.920 have.

00:41:51.620 And you're

00:41:51.940 here talking

00:41:52.540 how wonderful

00:41:53.600 it is.

00:41:54.640 But I always

00:41:55.420 wanted to finish

00:41:56.140 with what the

00:41:56.960 answer is.

00:41:58.100 But you

00:41:58.940 got to see the

00:41:59.740 problem if you

00:42:00.480 want to convince

00:42:01.480 people to do

00:42:02.320 something else.

00:42:03.340 But when the

00:42:03.980 educational system

00:42:05.440 is all biased

00:42:07.180 against liberty,

00:42:08.940 against these

00:42:09.620 principles of

00:42:11.160 individual

00:42:11.820 responsibility,

00:42:13.140 it's pretty

00:42:13.880 tough.

00:42:14.300 But in that

00:42:15.280 area, I get

00:42:16.340 optimistic with

00:42:18.420 recognition of

00:42:19.560 how dangerous

00:42:20.280 it is, because

00:42:21.460 we still,

00:42:22.860 Republican or

00:42:23.580 Democrat, the

00:42:24.560 foreign policy is

00:42:25.600 really very, very

00:42:26.880 dangerous.

00:42:27.660 There's too many

00:42:28.300 big weapons.

00:42:29.560 And I think we

00:42:30.740 need a better

00:42:31.680 understanding.

00:42:33.000 But most people

00:42:33.680 do it.

00:42:34.060 Most people don't

00:42:34.660 say, you know,

00:42:36.020 I'd like to go

00:42:37.500 to war.

00:42:38.080 I want to carry a

00:42:39.340 gun and shoot

00:42:39.800 people.

00:42:40.600 Most people worry

00:42:41.640 about it.

00:42:42.180 Why are we doing

00:42:43.160 this?

00:42:43.600 They're asking

00:42:44.220 questions.

00:42:44.900 But they've been

00:42:45.380 able to win the

00:42:46.160 psychological war

00:42:47.200 because if you

00:42:48.480 object to it,

00:42:49.420 you're un-American. 0.92

00:42:51.180 But I think it's

00:42:52.700 education is the

00:42:53.760 most important

00:42:54.460 thing that we

00:42:55.740 do and

00:42:56.320 understanding and

00:42:57.480 some moral

00:42:58.540 basics that

00:42:59.600 people should

00:43:00.900 understand.

00:43:01.980 Like, if you

00:43:03.400 and I can't

00:43:04.720 go and steal, 0.89

00:43:06.740 why don't we

00:43:07.280 let the

00:43:07.740 government steal

00:43:08.620 all the time?

00:43:09.920 Take stuff

00:43:10.400 from them.

00:43:10.920 It's not

00:43:11.300 rightfully theirs.

00:43:12.120 And then they

00:43:13.400 want to have

00:43:14.100 all the power.

00:43:15.480 So the

00:43:16.760 problems aren't

00:43:17.700 complex.

00:43:18.620 And that's what

00:43:19.060 delighted me when

00:43:20.000 I would talk to

00:43:20.580 young people.

00:43:21.660 They seemed to

00:43:22.320 understand it.

00:43:23.560 It seems like

00:43:24.400 the young

00:43:26.500 people, you

00:43:27.260 know, would

00:43:28.120 respond even

00:43:29.840 against all the

00:43:30.980 propaganda of the

00:43:31.980 college universities

00:43:33.120 and all the media

00:43:34.680 practically and the

00:43:35.680 movies and

00:43:36.280 everything else.

00:43:36.960 if you talk to

00:43:38.120 them straight

00:43:38.520 forward, you

00:43:40.740 know, I would

00:43:41.260 ask a student

00:43:42.120 who was excited

00:43:42.860 about what I

00:43:43.380 was saying.

00:43:44.300 I said, you

00:43:44.800 know, but so

00:43:45.600 and so just

00:43:46.240 said that too.

00:43:47.440 You know, when

00:43:47.880 we had our

00:43:48.340 debates, I

00:43:48.920 said, he said

00:43:49.840 the same thing.

00:43:50.660 He says, yeah,

00:43:51.760 but he wasn't

00:43:52.440 telling the

00:43:52.980 truth.

00:43:54.080 You know, people

00:43:55.820 can recognize

00:43:56.640 it.

00:43:57.420 So I come

00:43:58.560 down as being

00:43:59.180 an optimist

00:44:00.060 with a lot of

00:44:01.380 caution about

00:44:02.460 what we have to

00:44:03.220 go through to

00:44:04.040 restore the

00:44:05.480 principles that

00:44:06.760 most people

00:44:07.600 would endorse

00:44:08.240 if you just

00:44:08.800 offered to

00:44:09.380 them in

00:44:09.880 principles.

00:44:10.620 There's too

00:44:11.140 much political

00:44:11.880 power and

00:44:12.540 money involved.

00:44:13.900 But I think

00:44:15.500 that I think

00:44:16.760 the number of

00:44:17.480 people that I

00:44:18.140 meet are very

00:44:19.160 decent people.

00:44:21.000 And and yet

00:44:22.180 we have nothing.

00:44:23.260 Just think of

00:44:23.840 my lifetime, how

00:44:24.900 many wars we've

00:44:25.920 had, you know,

00:44:27.880 and they're so

00:44:28.800 unnecessary.

00:44:29.520 So look,

00:44:30.540 look at some

00:44:31.240 of the basic

00:44:31.760 principles of

00:44:32.720 what a liberty

00:44:33.660 society would

00:44:34.800 do.

00:44:35.700 It's not that

00:44:36.940 difficult.

00:44:37.960 And that's

00:44:38.680 really what is

00:44:39.380 in my heart

00:44:40.300 and what I

00:44:40.840 want to promote.

00:44:42.600 Well, I have

00:44:43.300 to ask you

00:44:43.720 about wars.

00:44:44.380 So you were

00:44:44.900 born in 1935.

00:44:46.800 You were 10

00:44:47.560 when the Second

00:44:48.120 World War

00:44:48.580 ended.

00:44:49.000 So you've

00:44:49.300 seen all the

00:44:50.100 wars, Second

00:44:51.360 World War,

00:44:51.820 Korea, Vietnam,

00:44:53.180 everything since

00:44:53.820 were on terror.

00:44:55.380 Have any of

00:44:55.980 those wars

00:44:56.420 made life

00:44:57.880 better for

00:44:58.500 Americans, do

00:44:59.120 you think?

00:45:02.220 Probably not.

00:45:03.660 I can't argue

00:45:05.340 the case.

00:45:06.660 And it's

00:45:08.140 control of

00:45:09.680 patriotism, that

00:45:11.340 if you don't do

00:45:12.040 this, you're not

00:45:12.580 a patriotic

00:45:13.320 person.

00:45:14.640 And people

00:45:15.340 do that.

00:45:17.440 And they're so

00:45:18.280 easily convinced

00:45:19.400 that I have to

00:45:20.300 sacrifice something.

00:45:22.180 You have to

00:45:22.600 defend what you

00:45:23.280 believe in, but

00:45:24.280 you don't have to

00:45:24.960 sacrifice any of

00:45:26.780 your freedoms to

00:45:27.720 get it.

00:45:28.020 And they say,

00:45:28.600 well, we have to

00:45:29.180 do this to get

00:45:29.860 along.

00:45:30.400 People in

00:45:30.780 Congress say,

00:45:31.300 yeah, you're

00:45:32.300 right, Ron, on

00:45:33.120 this issue, but

00:45:33.740 we can't get

00:45:34.360 there.

00:45:34.920 So this will

00:45:35.540 only give

00:45:35.940 them half of

00:45:36.660 this pie right

00:45:37.460 now.

00:45:38.060 So they see

00:45:38.900 themselves as

00:45:40.120 being able to

00:45:42.480 work it out

00:45:43.220 with the

00:45:43.820 problems we

00:45:44.380 have.

00:45:45.000 But I

00:45:46.220 think that's

00:45:47.200 wrong.

00:45:47.980 And I think

00:45:48.540 especially young

00:45:50.340 people, I

00:45:50.920 like to, I

00:45:52.100 talk to a lot

00:45:52.860 of young

00:45:53.180 people, and

00:45:54.080 even people

00:45:54.820 that are a

00:45:55.200 little bit

00:45:55.460 older who 0.58

00:45:56.140 have a

00:45:56.700 youngish type

00:45:57.520 of an

00:45:57.840 attitude, open

00:45:59.040 mindedness to

00:46:00.340 what the

00:46:01.000 country should

00:46:02.320 be all about

00:46:03.320 and what

00:46:03.980 liberty is all

00:46:04.900 about.

00:46:05.760 So I think

00:46:06.240 it's so

00:46:06.560 fantastic, but

00:46:07.400 I also

00:46:07.740 recognize that

00:46:09.060 the world is

00:46:09.740 imperfect, and

00:46:11.240 we're not going

00:46:12.260 to see a

00:46:12.680 perfect society.

00:46:13.680 You just have

00:46:14.080 to sort of

00:46:14.880 help guide it

00:46:15.980 in certain

00:46:16.480 directions, and

00:46:17.740 the freer we

00:46:18.420 are, I think,

00:46:19.320 the better.

00:46:20.400 The more

00:46:20.820 tyranny we have,

00:46:21.860 the worse off

00:46:22.480 we are, but

00:46:23.380 it takes a

00:46:24.980 moral understanding

00:46:26.060 of what our

00:46:27.520 relationship should

00:46:28.440 be with the

00:46:28.940 government, and

00:46:29.840 that's where it

00:46:30.400 gets touchy,

00:46:31.260 because people

00:46:32.300 want to use

00:46:33.400 it, the few

00:46:34.820 want to own

00:46:36.000 control, the

00:46:37.000 deep state,

00:46:37.800 whoever they

00:46:38.360 are, they

00:46:39.080 have, they're

00:46:40.320 the ones who

00:46:41.000 control the

00:46:42.800 politic and

00:46:43.900 all the

00:46:44.940 legislation and

00:46:45.860 the spending,

00:46:46.520 but that's

00:46:46.940 coming to an

00:46:47.600 end, and we're

00:46:48.120 broke, and

00:46:49.300 everybody's

00:46:49.980 starting to know

00:46:50.620 it, even

00:46:50.940 though we

00:46:51.680 knew it was

00:46:52.140 broke, and

00:46:52.620 that was my

00:46:53.240 discovery in

00:46:54.420 1970, well,

00:46:58.500 when Bretton

00:46:59.600 Woods broke

00:47:00.200 down, and

00:47:01.800 when Nixon

00:47:03.300 gave that

00:47:03.800 speech, I

00:47:05.600 knew that, but

00:47:06.660 it took a

00:47:07.200 long time, we

00:47:07.760 were so

00:47:08.100 wealthy, we

00:47:09.240 were spoiled,

00:47:10.460 and we

00:47:10.760 could defy the

00:47:11.800 principles of

00:47:12.480 liberty and

00:47:13.600 decency, because

00:47:15.540 we were so

00:47:16.300 rich, and

00:47:16.880 they still are

00:47:17.600 rich, we're

00:47:18.440 still consuming,

00:47:19.740 but we're not

00:47:20.420 producing, I

00:47:21.600 mean, we

00:47:22.060 have a moral

00:47:24.700 crisis, but

00:47:25.860 that's where I'm

00:47:26.420 optimistic, because

00:47:27.320 I think that

00:47:28.240 number is

00:47:28.780 growing, and

00:47:29.620 I think there

00:47:30.200 are a lot of

00:47:30.580 young people

00:47:31.160 looking at it

00:47:31.780 differently, I

00:47:33.240 think our

00:47:33.680 technology is

00:47:34.620 helpful, I

00:47:35.700 think people

00:47:36.160 who have

00:47:36.720 interesting talk

00:47:37.660 shows and

00:47:38.240 get good

00:47:38.720 views off and

00:47:39.680 share some of

00:47:40.260 these views

00:47:40.820 makes it

00:47:41.520 different, and

00:47:42.620 I think there's

00:47:43.580 some very good

00:47:44.360 things going on,

00:47:45.580 and I also

00:47:46.200 accept the idea

00:47:47.160 that perfection

00:47:48.140 is not

00:47:48.760 achievable, but

00:47:49.880 it is definitely

00:47:50.700 available to us

00:47:51.680 to go in a

00:47:52.500 certain direction,

00:47:53.700 and we've been,

00:47:54.420 as a country,

00:47:55.000 going in the wrong

00:47:55.780 direction for a

00:47:56.840 long time.

00:47:58.160 There's this

00:47:58.840 very strange

00:48:00.000 phenomenon we're

00:48:00.740 watching right

00:48:01.380 now, where as

00:48:03.100 the country becomes

00:48:04.160 poorer, we're

00:48:05.700 bankrupt, you said,

00:48:07.020 I think everyone

00:48:07.580 would agree with

00:48:08.020 that, we spend

00:48:09.540 even more on

00:48:11.120 foreign wars, we

00:48:13.300 spend more now

00:48:13.880 than we did 10

00:48:14.780 years ago, and

00:48:15.680 we're poor, why

00:48:17.720 do you think that's

00:48:18.760 happening?

00:48:19.080 Well, I think our

00:48:20.940 effectiveness isn't

00:48:23.400 being pursued

00:48:26.300 through intellectual

00:48:27.380 means and

00:48:28.100 philosophy, because

00:48:29.920 our universities

00:48:31.260 are crowded by

00:48:32.360 this false

00:48:33.360 illusion that it's

00:48:34.320 the government's

00:48:35.340 responsibility to

00:48:36.380 do everything,

00:48:38.520 and people

00:48:41.980 don't, I think

00:48:43.480 they basically

00:48:44.160 accept it, but

00:48:46.080 they have

00:48:46.460 trouble, you

00:48:47.620 know, challenging

00:48:48.340 the university

00:48:49.540 system.

00:48:50.600 When I was in

00:48:51.220 college, I was

00:48:52.860 asking a lot of

00:48:53.720 questions, and

00:48:54.700 then it finally

00:48:55.120 dawned on me I

00:48:55.880 wasn't getting

00:48:56.420 very many good

00:48:57.360 answers.

00:48:58.600 So, but I

00:48:59.780 think that I

00:49:00.620 also have a very

00:49:02.120 favorable thought

00:49:02.900 that everybody is

00:49:04.580 born with a

00:49:05.660 chance to come

00:49:06.960 to a right

00:49:08.600 decision about

00:49:09.980 nonviolence.

00:49:11.020 you know, no

00:49:13.220 lie, cheating, 0.52

00:49:14.140 stealing, and

00:49:14.640 killing.

00:49:15.480 That's pretty

00:49:16.180 simple, and you

00:49:17.460 don't need this

00:49:19.120 many laws.

00:49:20.520 You just

00:49:21.060 shouldn't be

00:49:21.600 people like

00:49:22.120 that, and

00:49:22.880 most people

00:49:23.460 say, well,

00:49:23.920 that sounds

00:49:24.440 easy.

00:49:25.200 Yeah, but the

00:49:26.300 trouble is, most

00:49:27.300 of the individuals

00:49:28.260 do, oh, yeah, I

00:49:29.420 don't lie, cheat,

00:49:30.140 steal, or kill,

00:49:31.120 but the

00:49:31.940 government does.

00:49:33.060 You have to

00:49:33.560 apply those rules

00:49:34.400 to the government,

00:49:35.700 and then we

00:49:36.420 get ahead, and

00:49:38.080 there are some

00:49:40.360 there, but, boy,

00:49:41.720 I'll tell you

00:49:42.160 what, just look

00:49:42.860 at the people

00:49:43.760 that hold the

00:49:44.420 line for no

00:49:45.460 lie, cheating, 0.52

00:49:46.200 and stealing, and

00:49:47.320 take it to the

00:49:47.900 government, and

00:49:49.240 tell the

00:49:49.940 government, they

00:49:50.440 can't do it

00:49:51.100 either.

00:49:52.000 They get into

00:49:52.520 big trouble.

00:49:53.280 They might be

00:49:53.780 the most

00:49:54.220 libertarian, free,

00:49:55.580 loving people in

00:49:56.320 the world, and

00:49:57.160 they will get

00:49:57.780 the rest of

00:49:58.980 them, oh, but

00:49:59.820 they're challenging

00:50:00.500 our system, and

00:50:01.340 you don't want

00:50:02.140 to ruin our

00:50:04.120 system, because

00:50:05.020 we have to help

00:50:05.960 people get along

00:50:06.880 and solve our

00:50:07.780 problem that we

00:50:09.120 created.

00:50:09.840 You know, it's

00:50:11.040 such a farce, but

00:50:12.140 the good news is

00:50:14.280 the system is

00:50:14.920 coming to an

00:50:15.600 end.

00:50:16.280 The good news

00:50:16.860 also is that

00:50:17.740 there's an

00:50:18.120 alternative.

00:50:19.100 The good news

00:50:19.700 is that more

00:50:20.220 and more people

00:50:20.800 are looking at

00:50:21.900 the freedom

00:50:22.880 alternative, but

00:50:24.540 the bad news is

00:50:26.620 it's entrenched,

00:50:28.460 and there's going

00:50:29.400 to be a lot of

00:50:29.940 havoc that goes 0.55

00:50:30.820 through the

00:50:32.100 country, finding

00:50:33.400 those people, but

00:50:34.760 I was so

00:50:36.120 encouraged with

00:50:37.640 what went on

00:50:40.680 in the

00:50:41.000 presidential

00:50:41.520 campaign, because 0.59

00:50:43.280 the young

00:50:45.040 people came

00:50:45.680 out, and

00:50:46.300 for the two

00:50:48.900 times I did

00:50:49.720 that was

00:50:50.160 good, several

00:50:50.880 years, I would

00:50:52.220 walk out there

00:50:52.820 to a stadium and

00:50:53.700 see, where do

00:50:55.580 they come from?

00:50:56.320 What are they

00:50:56.740 doing here?

00:50:59.420 And they said,

00:50:59.880 well, they came

00:51:00.460 here to hear what

00:51:01.400 you have to say.

00:51:02.200 I said, but I

00:51:02.840 don't have a speech,

00:51:03.740 so I can talk

00:51:05.780 about liberty, but

00:51:07.880 there's something

00:51:09.020 going on, so

00:51:10.080 talking to young

00:51:10.860 people excites

00:51:12.820 me, and I

00:51:14.620 hope it keeps me

00:51:15.340 young, too.

00:51:16.400 See, I want to

00:51:17.520 benefit from it

00:51:18.360 all.

00:51:18.940 Well, it has so

00:51:20.420 far.

00:51:21.660 So, when you

00:51:23.040 were in Congress,

00:51:24.080 and you served in

00:51:24.580 Congress for quite

00:51:25.520 a while, as I

00:51:26.260 remember, you

00:51:28.020 were attacked for

00:51:29.180 not being supportive

00:51:30.580 enough of Israel. 0.99

00:51:32.500 Do you think

00:51:33.620 that was fair?

00:51:34.800 Why were your

00:51:36.160 views in Israel

00:51:36.860 different from

00:51:37.540 some of your

00:51:38.040 colleagues?

00:51:39.900 Well, because I

00:51:40.980 think that I do

00:51:43.220 support Israel, but

00:51:45.160 I don't support

00:51:46.040 their policies.

00:51:47.700 You know, Israel 0.84

00:51:49.220 is not what the

00:51:51.380 neocons tell us

00:51:54.240 or what is

00:51:56.360 happening now,

00:51:57.740 because I think

00:51:59.560 Israel, let's 0.85

00:52:01.900 say the West, the

00:52:02.860 United States, are

00:52:03.620 flat-out broken.

00:52:04.740 They're all fighting

00:52:05.340 war.

00:52:06.120 I think Israel's 0.99

00:52:07.220 going to be in

00:52:07.640 a worse shape.

00:52:08.960 Yeah.

00:52:09.160 But I think they're

00:52:11.340 pampered in a way

00:52:12.860 that all we have to

00:52:13.720 say, you know, when

00:52:15.120 Golda Meir came here

00:52:17.120 first, she didn't

00:52:17.840 come to the

00:52:18.420 government.

00:52:18.840 She came here to,

00:52:19.580 you know, get

00:52:20.180 personal help, but

00:52:21.260 it turned into this

00:52:22.100 boondoggle of getting

00:52:24.740 something for free.

00:52:26.160 I think Netanyahu's 0.94

00:52:27.980 been to the country

00:52:28.740 with his hands

00:52:29.520 out in the last

00:52:30.380 year four or five

00:52:31.900 times.

00:52:33.200 Seven times.

00:52:35.140 Seven times.

00:52:36.280 Boy, I got to

00:52:37.760 catch up.

00:52:38.440 I can't keep up

00:52:39.260 with them.

00:52:40.200 And they're always

00:52:41.080 with their hands

00:52:42.040 out.

00:52:42.900 And I think that's

00:52:44.880 where we're under a

00:52:46.640 lot of pressure on

00:52:47.440 how to handle it,

00:52:48.700 because I'm

00:52:50.700 cautious because I'm

00:52:51.540 not looking for a

00:52:53.620 fist fight.

00:52:54.380 I'm looking for an

00:52:55.400 intellectual fight,

00:52:56.580 argument.

00:52:58.200 So the people that

00:52:59.880 get disturbed by

00:53:01.180 this, you know, I

00:53:03.940 don't need this.

00:53:06.020 But I think when

00:53:07.480 people hear it and

00:53:08.760 have a chance, I

00:53:10.200 think they choose

00:53:10.960 liberty.

00:53:12.000 You know, I really

00:53:12.780 do.

00:53:13.540 People don't, I

00:53:15.280 think the one

00:53:16.640 basic practical

00:53:18.080 enemy was the

00:53:19.320 fact that our

00:53:20.340 universities taught

00:53:22.400 us, you know,

00:53:23.440 junk economics.

00:53:24.560 You know, like I

00:53:26.640 said a minute

00:53:28.080 ago, you know,

00:53:29.700 the government

00:53:30.480 gets involved and

00:53:31.920 they do it.

00:53:32.720 And they claim

00:53:34.680 that deficits

00:53:35.680 don't matter.

00:53:38.360 And yet I think

00:53:40.900 they really matter.

00:53:42.540 And I think

00:53:43.420 common sense is

00:53:44.520 lacking on that.

00:53:45.860 But I think it's

00:53:47.640 that Israel's 0.80

00:53:48.880 following a

00:53:49.520 dangerous path,

00:53:50.880 you know, in a

00:53:52.020 way.

00:53:52.300 Because what are

00:53:53.120 they going to do

00:53:53.640 if we're totally

00:53:54.280 bankrupt tomorrow

00:53:55.320 and what's

00:53:57.440 going to happen?

00:53:58.840 And what if

00:54:00.100 they became more

00:54:01.200 freedom loving?

00:54:03.060 What if they did

00:54:03.740 my suggestion for

00:54:04.760 some of our

00:54:05.380 foreign policy

00:54:06.200 problems?

00:54:07.280 We're in 126

00:54:08.560 countries on

00:54:09.280 spending billions

00:54:10.240 of dollars.

00:54:11.080 And I have a

00:54:12.280 solution.

00:54:13.360 I said, we just

00:54:14.120 marched in, just

00:54:15.400 marched out.

00:54:16.860 You know, what

00:54:18.100 would happen then

00:54:19.080 if we just got

00:54:20.020 out of that?

00:54:20.600 I mean, it

00:54:21.900 would reduce the

00:54:23.000 number of

00:54:23.400 problems.

00:54:24.080 People don't

00:54:24.480 have enough

00:54:24.880 confidence in

00:54:25.520 liberty.

00:54:26.000 They've been

00:54:26.360 indoctrinated.

00:54:28.160 And that's why,

00:54:29.400 you know, in

00:54:30.060 spite of the

00:54:30.560 shortcomings of

00:54:31.380 the internet, we

00:54:32.420 get to see your

00:54:33.180 show on the

00:54:33.900 internet.

00:54:34.600 There's so many

00:54:35.260 advantages, you

00:54:36.500 know, in the

00:54:37.000 internet.

00:54:37.740 So a message I

00:54:38.540 never dreamed would

00:54:39.480 get more than 15

00:54:40.820 people out of a

00:54:42.420 college campus all

00:54:43.820 of a sudden.

00:54:44.340 And the message

00:54:45.020 had been spread.

00:54:47.560 People want to

00:54:48.280 hear it.

00:54:48.800 And I think

00:54:50.260 those numbers

00:54:50.880 are growing.

00:54:52.040 I really do.

00:54:53.620 And I think

00:54:54.240 there's a lot of

00:54:56.700 positive things

00:54:57.580 happening.

00:54:58.720 But it's still, I

00:55:00.520 think it's an

00:55:01.180 intellectual fight.

00:55:02.240 I think it's

00:55:02.660 educational.

00:55:04.220 I think the

00:55:05.240 fact that we

00:55:07.260 have so many

00:55:08.480 special interests

00:55:09.440 and so much

00:55:10.520 indoctrination and

00:55:12.180 we have the

00:55:12.780 schools against

00:55:13.760 us, the whole

00:55:14.660 work.

00:55:15.280 But now, there's

00:55:16.320 homeschooling.

00:55:17.180 And there's

00:55:18.340 more homeschooling

00:55:19.080 than ever before.

00:55:20.380 When it was

00:55:20.760 started, they

00:55:21.420 tried to close

00:55:22.060 it down because

00:55:23.240 some of the

00:55:24.280 goofy people knew

00:55:26.180 what was coming.

00:55:27.180 So there's a lot

00:55:27.940 of good stuff

00:55:28.600 coming out with

00:55:29.340 homeschooling.

00:55:30.600 And we're very

00:55:31.540 positive on that.

00:55:33.720 But I still think

00:55:35.020 it's an education,

00:55:36.220 ultimately it's an

00:55:37.180 educational fight

00:55:38.220 to get people to

00:55:39.580 understand because

00:55:40.560 whether, how do

00:55:41.720 you go into

00:55:42.240 somebody that they

00:55:43.360 have a family,

00:55:44.480 the father's not

00:55:46.460 working, and

00:55:47.000 they have six

00:55:47.480 kids, and

00:55:48.220 they're getting

00:55:48.680 everything coming

00:55:50.080 from the

00:55:50.520 government.

00:55:51.580 I mean, you

00:55:52.240 have to really

00:55:53.660 be persuasive,

00:55:56.480 but I believe so

00:55:57.560 strongly in it that

00:55:58.720 you can't persuade

00:55:59.660 people because

00:56:00.780 this one we have

00:56:01.720 is failing, and

00:56:02.840 they have to see

00:56:03.540 the connection of

00:56:04.320 the failure in

00:56:05.240 this system related

00:56:07.240 to bad ideas.

00:56:09.340 And like, maybe

00:56:11.040 government deficits

00:56:12.600 aren't a good

00:56:13.220 idea, that

00:56:14.760 shouldn't be too

00:56:15.520 hard, printing

00:56:16.220 money, maybe

00:56:17.220 that's a bad

00:56:17.940 idea too.

00:56:19.000 Maybe telling

00:56:19.520 people how they

00:56:20.240 live their lives

00:56:21.560 is a bad idea.

00:56:22.960 Maybe they can

00:56:23.520 take care of

00:56:24.320 themselves.

00:56:25.180 Maybe there's

00:56:26.060 more criminality

00:56:27.480 when you have an

00:56:28.580 overly oppressive

00:56:29.700 government.

00:56:31.140 And on and

00:56:32.100 on, there's so

00:56:32.760 many advantages

00:56:33.860 to living in a

00:56:35.000 free society

00:56:35.900 that I sort

00:56:39.280 of did think I

00:56:40.460 was going into

00:56:41.020 politics, didn't

00:56:41.940 necessarily want

00:56:42.780 into it, was

00:56:43.720 in for a

00:56:44.240 couple months

00:56:44.760 and they

00:56:45.080 threw me

00:56:45.460 out.

00:56:46.080 And then I

00:56:46.480 did it again.

00:56:48.520 And after

00:56:49.600 eight years, I

00:56:50.260 said, this

00:56:50.840 isn't for me, so

00:56:52.500 I got out and

00:56:53.080 went back to

00:56:53.580 medicine.

00:56:54.620 But then after

00:56:55.680 that, I was

00:56:56.280 back in the

00:56:57.660 office again, I

00:56:59.520 think over 20

00:57:00.320 years.

00:57:01.960 But it was

00:57:02.640 always trying to

00:57:04.360 talk to people

00:57:05.040 about ideas.

00:57:06.660 And I think

00:57:07.980 it's exciting.

00:57:09.320 And I think

00:57:10.320 that the big

00:57:11.260 thing is, is

00:57:12.080 people should

00:57:13.600 enjoy what

00:57:14.360 they're doing.

00:57:15.840 And I hate

00:57:18.340 the violence

00:57:18.980 that comes out

00:57:19.720 of what we

00:57:20.120 had.

00:57:20.600 You even

00:57:21.120 pointed it out

00:57:21.920 to a degree

00:57:22.460 about, in my

00:57:24.060 lifetime, all the

00:57:25.420 wars have been

00:57:26.180 going on.

00:57:26.500 I was born in

00:57:27.000 1935.

00:57:28.600 And believe it

00:57:29.560 or not, I was

00:57:31.120 a good student

00:57:32.260 when I was very

00:57:32.960 young.

00:57:33.260 I remember

00:57:33.760 things that

00:57:34.300 were going on

00:57:35.100 in the

00:57:35.340 Depression and

00:57:36.120 World War II

00:57:37.020 and Korea and

00:57:38.600 Vietnam and on

00:57:39.860 and on.

00:57:40.900 And it makes

00:57:42.740 no sense

00:57:43.480 whatsoever.

00:57:44.820 And it

00:57:45.520 defies logic and

00:57:46.840 good common

00:57:47.360 senses.

00:57:48.020 It defies

00:57:48.360 morality.

00:57:50.300 You talk to

00:57:50.940 young people in

00:57:52.220 that tone, most

00:57:53.640 of them say,

00:57:55.000 that's it.

00:57:56.300 But of course,

00:57:57.280 there's always

00:57:57.860 that few.

00:57:58.640 The people who

00:57:59.320 run the show,

00:58:00.300 the people who

00:58:00.940 run our

00:58:01.500 government and

00:58:02.320 design our

00:58:03.860 government so

00:58:04.920 that all the

00:58:08.080 legislation is

00:58:09.740 in control.

00:58:11.080 There's not

00:58:11.440 too many that

00:58:12.180 stand up for

00:58:13.140 liberty.

00:58:14.120 But there's a

00:58:15.020 lot of people

00:58:15.680 who that do

00:58:16.400 and they

00:58:16.760 welcome it.

00:58:17.460 I felt like

00:58:18.180 people like to

00:58:20.260 hear it because

00:58:21.420 even though I

00:58:23.020 might spend,

00:58:24.000 when I had

00:58:24.940 bigger crowds

00:58:25.820 at times, I

00:58:26.440 talked to a

00:58:26.900 lot of young

00:58:27.320 people, I

00:58:28.880 could spend

00:58:29.480 45 minutes

00:58:30.580 talking about

00:58:31.740 how bad

00:58:32.380 things were,

00:58:32.960 how stupid

00:58:33.840 it was, and

00:58:34.660 how dumb

00:58:35.640 the monetary

00:58:36.080 system was,

00:58:37.780 how ridiculous

00:58:38.700 the foreign 0.60

00:58:39.220 policy was.

00:58:40.360 And about

00:58:40.680 after there

00:58:41.940 were 10

00:58:42.460 minutes left

00:58:43.180 or so,

00:58:44.160 I would

00:58:45.920 switch.

00:58:46.680 I would

00:58:47.040 say, we

00:58:48.780 don't have to

00:58:49.420 have this.

00:58:50.300 Then I have my

00:58:51.080 10-minute pitch

00:58:52.060 for liberty.

00:58:52.680 policy, whether

00:58:54.040 it's monetary

00:58:54.720 policy or

00:58:55.440 foreign policy,

00:58:56.800 social policy,

00:58:58.140 or living

00:58:58.820 well and

00:58:59.760 all this.

00:59:01.080 And I was

00:59:02.380 so impressed

00:59:03.360 and so

00:59:04.120 pleased that

00:59:04.880 afterwards,

00:59:06.580 young people

00:59:07.560 would come up

00:59:08.060 and it

00:59:08.180 happened several

00:59:08.740 times.

00:59:09.680 So I think

00:59:10.100 that's important.

00:59:11.120 They would

00:59:11.360 come up and

00:59:12.960 say, you

00:59:13.960 know what I

00:59:14.380 liked about

00:59:14.960 your spooches? 1.00

00:59:15.780 You were

00:59:16.140 really positive.

00:59:17.720 Here I'm 45

00:59:19.220 minutes, but I

00:59:20.380 had to set the

00:59:21.160 stage.

00:59:21.500 There's trouble

00:59:22.260 out there, but

00:59:23.120 you could do

00:59:23.960 something about

00:59:24.800 it.

00:59:25.560 So that's

00:59:27.060 what excites

00:59:28.520 me when

00:59:29.740 things happen

00:59:32.100 in a positive

00:59:32.860 way.

00:59:33.580 But we have

00:59:34.400 to talk to

00:59:35.040 young people

00:59:35.860 and if they're

00:59:36.900 old, like a

00:59:37.820 few people I

00:59:38.380 know, you

00:59:39.140 talk to them

00:59:39.640 as if they're

00:59:40.220 young.

00:59:41.280 And I

00:59:42.140 think that's

00:59:42.980 it.

00:59:43.380 It's a young 0.87

00:59:43.960 idea.

00:59:44.960 Liberty is

00:59:45.700 still a

00:59:47.380 young idea.

00:59:49.600 And I

00:59:49.840 think that I

00:59:50.500 find out

00:59:51.060 and the

00:59:51.760 other thing

00:59:52.160 people should

00:59:52.700 realize is

00:59:53.500 they should

00:59:53.820 have fun

00:59:54.460 doing it.

00:59:55.620 You know,

00:59:56.180 I think

00:59:59.540 it's a lot

01:00:00.080 of fun.

01:00:01.640 If you

01:00:01.900 identify,

01:00:02.820 would we

01:00:03.280 have conferences

01:00:04.220 and we have

01:00:04.820 small things

01:00:06.080 like that,

01:00:07.100 not like a

01:00:08.520 Tucker's

01:00:08.980 conference.

01:00:09.840 I will have

01:00:10.360 a couple

01:00:10.680 people there

01:00:11.320 and we

01:00:11.580 talk about

01:00:12.340 policies and

01:00:16.300 things.

01:00:16.600 and it

01:00:18.900 was wonderful

01:00:21.920 and they

01:00:22.760 were always

01:00:23.300 so positive

01:00:24.180 and I

01:00:25.100 come away,

01:00:26.260 they were

01:00:26.620 making me

01:00:27.560 positive and

01:00:28.620 understanding.

01:00:29.940 So when I

01:00:30.640 found out

01:00:31.180 that telling

01:00:32.140 the truth,

01:00:33.540 even when it

01:00:34.180 was dire,

01:00:35.520 they reacted

01:00:36.540 in a positive

01:00:37.340 way.

01:00:38.120 And you

01:00:38.260 know, I

01:00:39.180 still am

01:00:39.760 impressed.

01:00:40.560 If I did

01:00:41.220 that for 45

01:00:41.920 or 50

01:00:42.440 minutes and

01:00:43.400 told them

01:00:43.880 what a

01:00:44.320 mess this

01:00:44.960 is and

01:00:45.780 then give

01:00:46.100 them 10

01:00:46.520 minutes of

01:00:47.180 what it

01:00:47.480 could be

01:00:47.860 like,

01:00:48.760 the 10

01:00:49.120 minutes was

01:00:49.580 always

01:00:50.140 uplifting.

01:00:51.300 And I

01:00:52.300 couldn't

01:00:52.960 believe that,

01:00:54.700 well, I

01:00:55.160 was surprised

01:00:55.840 that's the

01:00:56.240 way I felt

01:00:56.880 and believed,

01:00:58.220 but I was

01:00:58.720 always shocked

01:00:59.560 that people

01:01:00.260 came up

01:01:00.760 and, boy,

01:01:01.780 you are the

01:01:02.340 most positive

01:01:03.020 person I've

01:01:03.740 ever heard

01:01:04.200 talk because

01:01:05.120 there is an

01:01:05.720 answer to it

01:01:06.420 and to me

01:01:06.940 is the

01:01:07.440 principles of

01:01:08.060 liberty and

01:01:08.660 decency.

01:01:10.040 I think they

01:01:10.580 answer most of

01:01:11.420 our problems.

01:01:12.700 You practiced

01:01:13.160 as an

01:01:13.980 obstetrician

01:01:14.980 for your

01:01:17.140 career.

01:01:17.500 How many

01:01:17.760 babies do 0.85

01:01:18.260 you think

01:01:18.480 you delivered?

01:01:20.480 4,000.

01:01:22.180 You know

01:01:22.880 the answer.

01:01:25.580 And don't

01:01:26.520 hold me to

01:01:27.060 the number.

01:01:27.740 Maybe it

01:01:28.040 was 3,800

01:01:28.940 or 4,200.

01:01:30.680 Somebody asked

01:01:31.500 me that and

01:01:31.880 I did it in

01:01:32.260 my head because

01:01:33.280 I started off,

01:01:34.800 I delivered a

01:01:35.420 few babies when

01:01:36.200 I was an

01:01:37.200 intern, a

01:01:38.300 resident in

01:01:39.320 the military.

01:01:40.600 My medical

01:01:41.160 practice, when

01:01:42.240 I had my

01:01:42.940 medical practice

01:01:43.760 open up in

01:01:45.220 Lake Jackson,

01:01:46.020 Texas, I was

01:01:47.000 the only OB

01:01:47.660 doctor around

01:01:48.660 and it was

01:01:49.700 a whole county

01:01:50.460 so I was

01:01:51.180 pretty busy.

01:01:52.440 So, no, I

01:01:53.140 delivered a

01:01:54.800 lot of

01:01:55.380 babies and

01:01:56.840 it's, to me,

01:01:59.500 was a wonderful

01:02:00.080 thing.

01:02:00.720 I psychologically

01:02:01.720 wasn't as

01:02:03.020 good at, you

01:02:05.900 know, chronic

01:02:06.420 illnesses.

01:02:06.960 I love the

01:02:07.680 joy of

01:02:08.640 delivering a

01:02:09.380 new life.

01:02:10.740 Wonderful.

01:02:11.560 And some

01:02:12.200 of those

01:02:12.500 babies have

01:02:13.020 got to be

01:02:13.360 approaching

01:02:13.740 retirement.

01:02:14.420 Do you

01:02:14.600 ever meet

01:02:15.380 them?

01:02:17.120 All the

01:02:17.760 time.

01:02:19.460 And I

01:02:19.860 said, no,

01:02:21.100 they'll stop

01:02:21.840 me on the

01:02:22.220 street and

01:02:23.080 he'll look

01:02:23.620 like somebody,

01:02:25.040 he's 40 or

01:02:26.220 45 years old,

01:02:27.360 and he'll

01:02:27.640 tell me that

01:02:28.300 he was, I

01:02:30.700 delivered him.

01:02:31.340 I said, no

01:02:31.860 way.

01:02:33.540 So, no.

01:02:34.860 Oh, that's

01:02:35.620 wonderful.

01:02:36.780 It was a

01:02:37.560 joyful, joyful

01:02:38.980 occupation.

01:02:40.960 How old were

01:02:41.860 you when you

01:02:42.280 started buying

01:02:42.920 gold?

01:02:45.900 I was

01:02:46.980 interested in

01:02:47.860 the monetary

01:02:48.340 issue when I

01:02:49.300 was probably

01:02:50.240 10 years old.

01:02:52.440 And then

01:02:52.940 later on, I

01:02:53.720 found out why

01:02:55.800 I didn't have

01:02:56.320 any gold

01:02:56.740 coins.

01:02:59.500 I've been

01:03:00.360 interested,

01:03:02.080 not exactly,

01:03:03.420 there wasn't

01:03:03.920 a date

01:03:04.860 that I

01:03:05.840 was always

01:03:06.240 interested in

01:03:06.840 a monetary

01:03:07.360 issue, but

01:03:08.560 when I got

01:03:09.000 really excited

01:03:10.080 about it was

01:03:11.420 when Bratton

01:03:14.020 Woods broke

01:03:14.680 down, you

01:03:15.580 know, the

01:03:16.120 Bratton Woods

01:03:16.740 system.

01:03:18.160 And that

01:03:19.980 issue, it

01:03:22.660 was just

01:03:23.160 fascinating with

01:03:26.020 me because the

01:03:27.440 monetary issue

01:03:28.160 was there and

01:03:28.780 I would look at

01:03:29.780 all the

01:03:30.120 literature and

01:03:30.820 it turned out

01:03:32.000 that what I

01:03:32.780 was reading was

01:03:33.400 Austrian

01:03:33.780 economics.

01:03:34.400 free market

01:03:35.500 economics and

01:03:36.780 monetary policy.

01:03:38.680 And to me, it's

01:03:39.420 so exciting because

01:03:40.900 the other economic

01:03:43.840 systems are pretty

01:03:45.260 sterile and

01:03:46.600 they're pretty

01:03:47.040 boring where

01:03:48.420 Austrian economics

01:03:49.520 takes into the

01:03:50.480 factor of human

01:03:51.740 action.

01:03:52.740 Of course,

01:03:52.920 that's Mises' book,

01:03:54.120 human action.

01:03:55.100 Why do they do

01:03:55.820 this?

01:03:56.220 Why do people love

01:03:57.460 liberty?

01:03:58.000 Why do they do

01:03:58.580 this?

01:03:58.820 So I thought

01:04:00.940 that was early

01:04:02.340 on, but

01:04:02.900 probably I was

01:04:04.720 growing gradually

01:04:05.880 when I was in

01:04:06.740 college because I

01:04:07.840 always had two

01:04:08.480 books.

01:04:09.260 When I was free,

01:04:10.200 I'd read Austrian

01:04:10.940 economics.

01:04:12.120 And it still

01:04:13.560 fascinates me.

01:04:14.780 So I think ideas

01:04:15.760 are crucial.

01:04:16.780 the first campaign I

01:04:21.600 ran in was purely

01:04:23.120 out of just

01:04:24.420 curiosity.

01:04:25.340 It was in

01:04:26.100 1974.

01:04:28.300 You know, the

01:04:29.020 Republicans weren't

01:04:29.840 doing very well in

01:04:30.780 1974.

01:04:31.440 So I did it because

01:04:33.780 nobody else would

01:04:34.620 run.

01:04:36.200 There were only

01:04:37.600 three Republicans

01:04:38.380 in the Congress

01:04:39.220 at the time.

01:04:41.020 But something

01:04:42.580 happened.

01:04:43.400 I tried to quit

01:04:44.220 twice, but I kept

01:04:45.360 going back, going

01:04:46.460 back, because

01:04:47.480 it was almost

01:04:50.040 like an

01:04:50.580 indivisible calling.

01:04:52.580 But I had

01:04:53.340 certain rules.

01:04:54.440 I wasn't going

01:04:55.000 to get involved

01:04:55.540 in those fights.

01:04:57.160 And I wanted

01:05:00.280 to share my

01:05:02.180 understanding of

01:05:02.960 how the system

01:05:03.600 should work.

01:05:04.960 And actually,

01:05:06.980 it was something

01:05:07.980 I grew to

01:05:09.400 understand and

01:05:10.360 like because

01:05:11.920 other people

01:05:14.160 liked it.

01:05:15.120 You know, I'd

01:05:16.900 ask people,

01:05:17.560 why are you here?

01:05:18.720 You know, why

01:05:19.100 are you asking

01:05:19.520 me this?

01:05:20.340 But people are

01:05:21.700 interested in

01:05:22.420 ideas.

01:05:23.320 And I think

01:05:23.720 they can see,

01:05:24.520 like I think I

01:05:25.120 already told the

01:05:25.820 story that you

01:05:27.920 you talk to

01:05:30.640 people and

01:05:31.860 you present it

01:05:35.140 to them.

01:05:35.800 And they'll

01:05:36.200 say, oh, yeah,

01:05:38.020 that's right.

01:05:38.940 You said that.

01:05:39.840 This is true.

01:05:41.200 And they're

01:05:41.660 looking for

01:05:42.360 truth.

01:05:42.960 Even though you

01:05:43.560 say strong

01:05:45.020 things, look,

01:05:46.060 it's your fault. 0.68

01:05:47.080 But this is the

01:05:49.160 answer.

01:05:50.060 And then we

01:05:50.460 come across it.

01:05:51.260 Well, it's a

01:05:51.660 very positive

01:05:52.300 philosophy.

01:05:53.820 So I don't

01:05:54.520 know.

01:05:55.260 To me, I

01:05:56.380 enjoyed it because

01:05:57.380 young people

01:05:58.000 seem to wake

01:05:59.060 up, you

01:05:59.820 know.

01:06:00.100 Yes.

01:06:00.460 And young

01:06:01.480 people.

01:06:02.160 But even at

01:06:02.780 the age, I

01:06:03.720 talk about young

01:06:04.460 people, but I

01:06:05.100 really, people

01:06:06.340 have a young

01:06:07.120 attitude.

01:06:08.420 The young

01:06:08.720 people are

01:06:09.520 willing to

01:06:09.960 think long.

01:06:10.960 So sometimes

01:06:11.520 you get the

01:06:12.480 most youngest

01:06:13.040 ideas from

01:06:13.840 somebody that's

01:06:14.820 been thinking

01:06:15.320 this way and

01:06:16.040 they might be

01:06:17.020 real old, like

01:06:18.420 over 70 or

01:06:19.440 something, you

01:06:20.060 know.

01:06:20.600 And they

01:06:21.020 would be very

01:06:22.200 positive.

01:06:23.640 And so I

01:06:25.620 ended up

01:06:26.540 loving to do

01:06:27.940 that.

01:06:28.300 I love

01:06:28.640 medicine.

01:06:29.860 And I

01:06:30.840 love the

01:06:31.540 idea that I

01:06:32.220 had so many

01:06:32.780 opportunities

01:06:33.500 because basically

01:06:36.040 it's something

01:06:38.040 that I think is

01:06:38.740 very, very

01:06:39.520 positive

01:06:40.160 imperfectly.

01:06:41.660 It's not

01:06:42.160 perfect,

01:06:42.680 obviously.

01:06:43.900 And then when

01:06:44.180 I found out

01:06:44.980 that we will

01:06:45.640 never reach

01:06:46.400 that, it's

01:06:47.240 a way of

01:06:47.700 going which

01:06:48.540 direction.

01:06:49.440 Man, it's

01:06:49.840 not perfect.

01:06:51.000 But I think

01:06:51.780 people who

01:06:52.280 believe in

01:06:52.880 liberty and

01:06:54.160 believe in

01:06:55.220 these basic

01:06:55.860 principles of

01:06:56.560 nonviolence,

01:06:57.500 they can

01:06:58.080 contribute a

01:06:58.740 whole lot.

01:06:59.880 And it's

01:07:01.180 very open

01:07:01.940 ended.

01:07:02.940 You know, it's

01:07:03.640 open to anybody

01:07:04.340 who wants to

01:07:04.980 think about that

01:07:05.920 complicated

01:07:06.740 philosophy I

01:07:07.620 just described.

01:07:08.700 People should

01:07:09.320 want to commit

01:07:09.980 violence.

01:07:11.160 And it fits

01:07:12.020 into foreign

01:07:12.500 policy.

01:07:13.480 And it fits

01:07:14.040 into our own

01:07:14.960 government.

01:07:15.740 So as the

01:07:16.360 years went on,

01:07:17.360 I saw our

01:07:18.220 own government

01:07:18.900 being, the

01:07:20.340 government being

01:07:21.020 violent because I

01:07:22.500 don't think we

01:07:23.000 should have

01:07:23.420 about 90%

01:07:25.100 of what we

01:07:25.820 have.

01:07:26.300 We should

01:07:26.680 have a lot

01:07:27.400 less government.

01:07:29.500 But the

01:07:30.360 amount of

01:07:30.780 government, that's

01:07:31.560 the force that

01:07:32.280 we need.

01:07:32.860 But they always

01:07:33.700 fail.

01:07:34.380 They're failing

01:07:34.920 now.

01:07:35.640 The opportunity

01:07:36.280 is there.

01:07:37.280 People will

01:07:37.740 listen to

01:07:38.240 common sense.

01:07:39.620 And I

01:07:40.480 think when

01:07:41.620 it's based

01:07:42.240 with a moral

01:07:42.880 principle, people

01:07:44.920 understand it.

01:07:45.940 But they're

01:07:46.340 hungry for the

01:07:47.100 message.

01:07:48.040 And I think

01:07:49.420 it's delightful

01:07:50.100 when people

01:07:50.720 say, they'll

01:07:51.600 come in now.

01:07:52.200 I just love

01:07:52.800 it when

01:07:53.060 somebody will

01:07:53.440 come up and

01:07:53.980 say, you

01:07:54.580 did this, you

01:07:55.380 convinced me

01:07:55.900 of this, and

01:07:56.460 this is what

01:07:57.100 I've been

01:07:57.480 doing.

01:07:58.160 So there's

01:07:58.760 an invisible

01:07:59.320 group.

01:08:00.980 You never

01:08:02.080 know who

01:08:02.500 you talk

01:08:02.980 to.

01:08:03.920 There's an

01:08:04.420 invisible

01:08:04.940 number of

01:08:05.560 people out

01:08:06.060 there that

01:08:06.880 has been

01:08:08.820 influenced.

01:08:09.840 And I

01:08:10.320 figure that I

01:08:11.380 got the

01:08:12.060 benefit because

01:08:12.800 I was

01:08:13.200 influenced by

01:08:14.160 the people

01:08:14.720 who would

01:08:15.440 be interested

01:08:16.500 in talking

01:08:17.160 about the

01:08:17.680 issues, and

01:08:18.440 I love

01:08:18.840 doing that.

01:08:20.520 Is it

01:08:21.260 strange to

01:08:22.080 be vindicated

01:08:23.040 on gold,

01:08:24.380 for example?

01:08:25.020 I remember

01:08:25.400 people made

01:08:25.960 fun of you.

01:08:27.100 I'll confess

01:08:27.900 with shame that

01:08:28.620 I made fun

01:08:29.220 of you as

01:08:30.120 a gold bug

01:08:30.980 because you

01:08:31.940 would never

01:08:32.200 stop talking

01:08:32.780 about gold.

01:08:34.160 And now it's

01:08:34.740 so obvious

01:08:35.500 that you

01:08:35.960 were right.

01:08:36.600 You were

01:08:36.860 always right.

01:08:37.860 And I

01:08:38.520 doubt many

01:08:38.880 people have

01:08:39.240 apologized to

01:08:39.960 you, but

01:08:40.260 how does it

01:08:40.840 feel to be

01:08:41.720 you and to

01:08:42.660 see the world

01:08:43.680 come around to

01:08:44.400 your conclusion?

01:08:45.040 Well, I'd

01:08:46.480 qualify your

01:08:47.120 statement.

01:08:47.780 I wish I

01:08:48.300 could say

01:08:48.620 I'm always

01:08:49.760 right.

01:08:51.100 No, hopefully

01:08:52.560 I'm always

01:08:53.140 going in the

01:08:53.700 right direction

01:08:54.400 anyway.

01:08:55.600 So it's,

01:08:56.860 I love

01:08:58.520 dealing with

01:08:59.040 the issue

01:08:59.720 of the ideas

01:09:01.080 because they're

01:09:01.900 more important

01:09:02.720 than what you

01:09:03.440 hear from the

01:09:04.060 politicians.

01:09:05.260 I was mixed

01:09:06.900 in with a

01:09:07.360 group of

01:09:07.680 people that

01:09:08.460 probably are

01:09:08.840 almost the

01:09:09.280 opposite of

01:09:09.900 libertarianism,

01:09:11.260 but there

01:09:12.060 were people in

01:09:12.740 our history

01:09:13.360 that were

01:09:14.660 very libertarian.

01:09:16.220 Our founders

01:09:16.920 had a libertarian

01:09:17.780 streak in them,

01:09:19.100 but nobody,

01:09:20.160 of course,

01:09:20.700 will be perfect.

01:09:22.160 But if people

01:09:23.640 are moving in

01:09:24.340 the right

01:09:24.680 direction,

01:09:25.880 I've really

01:09:27.660 loved talking

01:09:28.720 to young

01:09:29.220 people who

01:09:29.680 get excited

01:09:30.380 about this

01:09:31.520 because now

01:09:32.320 I see people

01:09:33.100 coming back

01:09:34.180 and I'll

01:09:34.960 meet them

01:09:35.440 and they

01:09:36.000 look like

01:09:36.420 they might

01:09:36.740 be 22

01:09:37.420 or 25.

01:09:38.440 I said,

01:09:38.820 when did

01:09:39.080 you get

01:09:39.360 started?

01:09:39.780 He said,

01:09:40.080 when I

01:09:40.480 was 14.

01:09:41.420 I read

01:09:41.880 something you

01:09:42.480 said.

01:09:42.860 So young

01:09:44.540 people found

01:09:47.160 interest.

01:09:47.580 One time I

01:09:48.100 had a mother

01:09:48.980 and a son

01:09:49.680 to come to

01:09:50.140 my office,

01:09:50.720 the congressional

01:09:51.240 office,

01:09:52.260 after I had

01:09:54.260 a campaign

01:09:54.960 and he

01:09:56.800 was the

01:09:58.000 one.

01:09:58.900 Oh,

01:09:59.260 I thought

01:09:59.760 she would

01:10:01.160 be talking

01:10:01.740 to him.

01:10:02.120 No,

01:10:02.800 he wants

01:10:03.380 to talk

01:10:03.760 to you.

01:10:04.120 He's the

01:10:04.520 one that

01:10:04.820 converted

01:10:05.240 me.

01:10:06.140 So the

01:10:06.540 son that

01:10:06.920 was 14

01:10:07.680 was excited

01:10:08.780 by something

01:10:09.400 I said.

01:10:10.320 I thought,

01:10:10.860 well,

01:10:10.960 this is magic.

01:10:11.820 This is

01:10:12.560 something

01:10:12.840 wonderful.

01:10:14.160 And I

01:10:14.820 think it's

01:10:16.000 probably

01:10:16.320 something that

01:10:18.420 is powerful.

01:10:19.740 But what

01:10:20.060 about if a

01:10:20.620 person's doing

01:10:21.280 that and

01:10:21.740 saying bad

01:10:22.440 things?

01:10:23.020 What you

01:10:23.380 need to

01:10:23.700 do is get

01:10:24.280 out a gun

01:10:24.740 and shoot

01:10:25.160 that guy

01:10:25.600 if he did

01:10:26.040 that to

01:10:26.500 you.

01:10:27.080 There's

01:10:27.540 some of

01:10:27.840 that,

01:10:28.280 too.

01:10:28.560 So you

01:10:28.860 have

01:10:29.040 competition

01:10:29.700 out there.

01:10:30.280 But I

01:10:30.580 came across

01:10:31.540 a lot of

01:10:32.100 people,

01:10:33.040 and the

01:10:33.480 young people,

01:10:34.840 they tend

01:10:36.800 to be more

01:10:37.980 open-minded

01:10:38.760 and are

01:10:39.180 willing to

01:10:39.640 open their

01:10:40.320 minds.

01:10:41.020 And that's

01:10:41.380 what I

01:10:41.680 think is

01:10:42.020 exciting.

01:10:43.880 My last

01:10:44.520 question,

01:10:45.260 Congressman,

01:10:45.640 is about

01:10:46.280 your life

01:10:47.020 and what

01:10:47.320 you've

01:10:47.540 learned.

01:10:47.780 You've

01:10:47.960 lived such

01:10:48.340 a long

01:10:48.640 time and

01:10:48.980 you've

01:10:49.160 lived so

01:10:49.540 successfully.

01:10:50.700 You've

01:10:51.140 made a

01:10:51.420 difference.

01:10:51.820 You've

01:10:51.940 done

01:10:52.080 things you

01:10:52.500 loved.

01:10:53.440 You've

01:10:53.780 got a

01:10:54.180 close

01:10:54.620 family.

01:10:55.340 I mean,

01:10:55.560 you've

01:10:55.780 won.

01:10:56.500 What advice

01:10:57.360 would you

01:10:57.740 give young

01:10:58.620 people about

01:10:59.480 how to

01:11:00.040 live their

01:11:00.620 lives?

01:11:01.200 I think

01:11:04.580 one,

01:11:05.200 you have

01:11:05.620 to be

01:11:05.940 curious

01:11:06.720 and looking

01:11:07.600 for the

01:11:08.020 truth.

01:11:08.980 And then

01:11:09.780 you have

01:11:10.360 to look

01:11:10.640 for people

01:11:11.220 that you

01:11:11.880 can trust

01:11:12.580 and you

01:11:13.480 can find

01:11:14.000 it because

01:11:14.420 there's

01:11:14.740 always

01:11:15.040 literature.

01:11:16.300 And you're

01:11:17.280 looking for

01:11:17.700 the truth

01:11:18.340 and I

01:11:19.160 was always

01:11:19.900 excited about

01:11:21.420 it.

01:11:21.640 I remember

01:11:22.100 one of the

01:11:23.000 books I

01:11:23.400 started when

01:11:24.180 I got

01:11:24.820 involved in

01:11:25.280 economics was

01:11:26.060 human action

01:11:26.980 and that's

01:11:27.640 not a little

01:11:28.080 book.

01:11:29.580 So I

01:11:31.180 I don't

01:11:32.320 think it's

01:11:32.880 the same

01:11:33.320 for everybody

01:11:34.280 but I

01:11:36.320 think young

01:11:36.980 people, I

01:11:38.180 think we

01:11:38.500 have a

01:11:38.820 natural

01:11:39.520 curiosity but

01:11:41.740 the enemy

01:11:42.940 knows that

01:11:43.760 too and

01:11:44.540 that's why

01:11:44.900 they're in

01:11:45.420 there.

01:11:46.000 That's why

01:11:46.360 they're in

01:11:46.740 our public

01:11:47.180 educational

01:11:47.840 system.

01:11:48.880 They want

01:11:49.400 to be

01:11:49.580 influenced

01:11:50.080 too but

01:11:50.900 in spite of

01:11:51.800 all the

01:11:52.360 power and

01:11:52.980 money they

01:11:53.420 spend on

01:11:54.400 trying to

01:11:55.040 put us

01:11:55.560 out of it

01:11:56.120 completely,

01:11:57.260 I think our

01:11:58.080 numbers are

01:11:58.640 growing.

01:11:59.520 The people

01:12:00.120 who really

01:12:00.700 want to

01:12:01.160 know the

01:12:01.600 truth and

01:12:02.900 that excites

01:12:03.720 me when

01:12:04.320 that happens

01:12:05.060 and I

01:12:06.720 believe that

01:12:07.820 it'll be a

01:12:09.080 better world

01:12:09.800 but what you

01:12:10.400 have to take

01:12:10.880 on is no

01:12:11.880 war and

01:12:12.460 they say

01:12:12.680 well what

01:12:13.240 are they

01:12:13.980 going to

01:12:14.280 do?

01:12:14.620 I have to

01:12:15.080 go over

01:12:15.380 there and

01:12:15.780 save people.

01:12:16.580 That's why

01:12:16.880 we have a

01:12:17.340 what do

01:12:18.240 you think

01:12:18.480 we have

01:12:18.860 our troops

01:12:20.060 in 126

01:12:21.140 countries for?

01:12:22.320 Yeah,

01:12:22.940 for finding

01:12:23.780 truth and

01:12:24.440 peace.

01:12:25.500 So when

01:12:26.220 they see

01:12:28.120 this,

01:12:29.080 they get

01:12:29.900 excited

01:12:30.340 about it

01:12:31.040 but

01:12:31.720 if you

01:12:34.740 get their

01:12:35.120 attention,

01:12:36.060 it's really

01:12:36.520 impressive to

01:12:37.400 me how

01:12:38.720 they might

01:12:39.380 turn the

01:12:41.900 switch on.

01:12:42.620 that to

01:12:46.940 me,

01:12:47.480 mine

01:12:47.720 wasn't a

01:12:49.380 switch.

01:12:50.700 Mine was

01:12:52.060 gradual but

01:12:53.520 I always

01:12:54.100 became

01:12:54.500 fascinated

01:12:55.280 with reading

01:12:56.880 about history

01:12:58.120 and economic

01:12:59.260 policy.

01:13:00.300 I loved it

01:13:00.820 when I

01:13:01.100 discovered

01:13:01.600 what we

01:13:02.260 describe as

01:13:03.940 Austrian

01:13:05.640 economics,

01:13:06.220 which is

01:13:07.500 the free

01:13:09.200 market advice

01:13:10.640 about sound

01:13:11.880 money and

01:13:12.440 freedom of

01:13:13.240 choice and

01:13:14.140 governments that

01:13:14.860 are about

01:13:15.220 10% of

01:13:16.720 what we

01:13:17.040 have now.

01:13:19.700 It is an

01:13:22.520 economic

01:13:23.040 problem and

01:13:23.780 a political

01:13:24.200 problem but

01:13:25.060 it's really

01:13:26.820 a moral

01:13:28.000 problem.

01:13:28.660 It has to

01:13:29.320 be defined

01:13:29.860 in moral

01:13:30.740 terms that

01:13:32.220 they should

01:13:33.460 have a

01:13:33.840 right to

01:13:34.220 tell you

01:13:34.720 what to

01:13:35.120 do but

01:13:36.200 there's a

01:13:36.540 rule you

01:13:36.900 can't hurt

01:13:37.380 anybody but

01:13:38.780 there's a

01:13:39.540 morality that

01:13:40.960 you don't

01:13:41.260 hurt anybody

01:13:41.960 else and

01:13:42.880 you do what

01:13:44.360 you want.

01:13:45.440 Yes.

01:13:45.880 And the

01:13:46.780 rule is

01:13:47.640 simple and

01:13:48.960 frequently there

01:13:50.880 would be a

01:13:51.300 problem like

01:13:51.800 right now

01:13:52.180 there are

01:13:52.360 things in

01:13:52.780 the market

01:13:53.980 and the

01:13:55.000 political

01:13:55.360 scene of

01:13:56.520 why aren't

01:13:57.540 you supporting

01:13:58.100 him when

01:13:58.700 you used to

01:13:59.320 do that and

01:14:00.500 this sort of

01:14:00.960 thing.

01:14:01.540 But I think

01:14:02.180 that I think

01:14:03.060 that I've

01:14:04.360 always had a

01:14:05.040 rule that

01:14:05.720 I offer it

01:14:07.880 they may

01:14:08.420 take it

01:14:08.920 may not

01:14:09.460 if they

01:14:09.740 want more

01:14:10.220 they'll ask

01:14:10.760 for it.

01:14:11.520 One of the

01:14:12.200 people that

01:14:14.100 influenced me a

01:14:15.380 lot about

01:14:15.800 tone, what

01:14:16.800 is your

01:14:17.080 tone, is

01:14:18.160 Leonard

01:14:18.820 Reed.

01:14:20.300 And Leonard

01:14:20.700 Reed set up

01:14:21.840 a foundation

01:14:22.540 after World

01:14:23.180 War II called

01:14:24.340 the Foundation

01:14:24.860 for Economic

01:14:25.620 Education.

01:14:26.900 I met him

01:14:27.600 became friends

01:14:28.500 with him and

01:14:29.400 he said it's

01:14:29.980 not a political

01:14:30.660 problem, it's

01:14:31.260 not a political

01:14:31.820 problem, it's

01:14:32.560 an educational

01:14:33.200 problem, and

01:14:34.160 I bought

01:14:35.000 into all

01:14:35.460 that, but

01:14:36.240 when I ran

01:14:36.740 for office, he

01:14:37.780 was for me.

01:14:39.180 You know, he

01:14:39.680 was sick and

01:14:40.920 tired of those

01:14:41.560 people in

01:14:43.220 government that

01:14:43.840 was doing

01:14:44.240 nothing more

01:14:44.780 than expanding

01:14:45.840 control over

01:14:47.180 their lives.

01:14:48.400 So I think

01:14:49.380 that I'm

01:14:52.300 sort of a

01:14:53.580 little bit

01:14:54.100 mixed on the

01:14:54.740 internet because

01:14:55.860 a lot of

01:14:56.320 trash is out

01:14:57.120 there, a lot

01:14:57.600 of evil out

01:14:58.440 there.

01:14:58.600 But just

01:14:59.800 think, you

01:15:03.080 and I might

01:15:03.620 not be

01:15:03.920 talking if

01:15:04.420 we didn't

01:15:04.680 have an

01:15:04.980 internet.

01:15:05.260 No, we

01:15:05.660 wouldn't be.

01:15:06.920 So I

01:15:07.860 think it's

01:15:08.660 wonderful that

01:15:09.560 we have it,

01:15:11.180 but I get a

01:15:11.920 lot of

01:15:12.200 questions about

01:15:13.260 how you

01:15:15.580 support a

01:15:16.180 candidate, but

01:15:17.520 no, I think

01:15:18.340 we all know

01:15:20.040 it because I

01:15:21.600 believe strongly

01:15:22.720 in the

01:15:25.460 system of

01:15:26.340 nihilism and

01:15:27.740 people wanting

01:15:30.420 to write

01:15:32.160 bad laws and

01:15:32.900 do bad

01:15:33.380 things to

01:15:34.560 us.

01:15:35.220 At the same

01:15:35.900 time, people

01:15:36.860 have an

01:15:37.440 instinct for

01:15:38.160 what liberty

01:15:38.840 is all about,

01:15:39.900 people who

01:15:40.340 tell the

01:15:40.780 truth.

01:15:41.560 And it's a

01:15:42.080 contest between

01:15:43.020 bad and good,

01:15:43.860 good and evil.

01:15:45.220 And it's

01:15:46.160 ultimately a

01:15:47.400 personal choice,

01:15:48.620 but you could

01:15:49.120 be influenced by

01:15:50.140 other people

01:15:50.980 too.

01:15:51.380 And that

01:15:52.860 is the part

01:15:53.760 that I really

01:15:54.420 enjoy, is

01:15:55.620 talking to

01:15:56.180 people when

01:15:57.020 I think I'm

01:15:57.580 talking to

01:15:58.600 two people or

01:16:00.100 three people or

01:16:00.900 ten people, and

01:16:02.240 I love to go to

01:16:03.020 the universities

01:16:03.620 when I get

01:16:04.180 15 out.

01:16:04.880 Where did the

01:16:05.300 crowd come

01:16:05.880 from?

01:16:06.740 And now I

01:16:09.000 think it's

01:16:11.040 just wonderful

01:16:11.800 that people,

01:16:13.280 that I still

01:16:13.780 could do

01:16:14.320 this, but

01:16:15.260 there's a lot

01:16:15.900 of encroachment

01:16:17.420 on this, and

01:16:18.600 I'm sure you're

01:16:19.380 aware of it, and

01:16:20.320 the control of

01:16:20.960 First Amendment

01:16:21.560 now is not

01:16:23.080 an automatic.

01:16:24.700 I'll tell you

01:16:25.200 what, you can

01:16:25.800 get into trouble

01:16:26.760 with the

01:16:28.040 authoritarians who

01:16:29.440 are still in the

01:16:30.580 organization.

01:16:31.620 They may be out

01:16:32.400 there and our

01:16:32.820 numbers may be

01:16:33.500 growing, but they

01:16:34.640 still have guns

01:16:35.700 against us.

01:16:36.560 They have the

01:16:37.060 government, and

01:16:38.200 that's where the

01:16:39.340 danger is.

01:16:41.400 But fortunately

01:16:43.180 though, I think

01:16:45.500 it's an ideological

01:16:46.860 argument that we

01:16:49.500 have to convince

01:16:50.820 people it's

01:16:51.720 better to live

01:16:52.280 in a free

01:16:52.740 society than

01:16:53.760 an authoritarian

01:16:54.500 society.

01:16:55.180 Of course

01:16:55.680 that's true.

01:16:57.040 And you

01:16:57.400 can describe

01:16:58.580 what a free

01:16:59.060 society, yeah,

01:16:59.920 that's exactly

01:17:00.460 what I believe

01:17:01.160 in.

01:17:02.140 Yeah, I

01:17:03.040 said, but

01:17:03.480 you cannot

01:17:05.040 give any

01:17:06.760 authority to

01:17:07.860 do what you

01:17:08.840 might want to

01:17:09.420 do to the

01:17:10.120 government.

01:17:11.460 Most people

01:17:12.180 have succumbed

01:17:13.200 and they give

01:17:13.600 it to the

01:17:13.980 government.

01:17:14.300 what they

01:17:16.160 see as a

01:17:16.600 moral life, and

01:17:17.960 they give all

01:17:18.840 the responsibility.

01:17:20.420 But I think

01:17:20.980 when people

01:17:21.760 are badgered

01:17:23.860 and run by

01:17:24.840 an immoral

01:17:25.780 government,

01:17:27.300 they ought to

01:17:27.860 do something

01:17:28.460 about it.

01:17:29.080 I thought our

01:17:29.660 government was

01:17:30.360 running an

01:17:31.720 immoral monetary

01:17:32.780 system, a

01:17:33.680 crooked, I

01:17:34.600 mean, a real

01:17:35.740 bad system, all

01:17:37.560 designed for war,

01:17:38.820 murder, and all.

01:17:39.860 But I didn't

01:17:40.580 take a gun, but

01:17:42.040 I did take

01:17:42.660 it on as

01:17:43.360 an obstacle

01:17:44.640 for me, and

01:17:45.660 people needed

01:17:46.340 to know about

01:17:47.320 lying about

01:17:48.660 money.

01:17:49.840 And the

01:17:51.040 reception was

01:17:51.760 bigger than I

01:17:52.460 ever thought.

01:17:53.920 You even said

01:17:55.100 something that

01:17:55.700 your minds have

01:17:56.700 been changed.

01:17:57.500 I'm sure I

01:17:58.100 didn't change

01:17:58.600 your mind.

01:17:59.040 Somebody else

01:17:59.540 did that.

01:18:00.920 You saw a

01:18:01.640 difference with

01:18:02.260 Austrian

01:18:02.860 economics later

01:18:03.640 on, and

01:18:04.300 monetary policy,

01:18:05.620 and all this.

01:18:06.280 So I get

01:18:06.780 excited when

01:18:07.620 people say

01:18:08.420 that they've

01:18:10.920 changed their

01:18:11.440 minds.

01:18:12.040 because they

01:18:13.700 should, because

01:18:14.880 liberty should be

01:18:16.060 exciting, and

01:18:17.840 it's dangerous

01:18:19.160 being in the

01:18:20.120 transition, but

01:18:21.620 it's the lack

01:18:22.420 of liberty that

01:18:23.140 causes all our

01:18:24.000 wars, is my

01:18:25.180 opinion.

01:18:25.920 Do you have

01:18:27.000 hope that, as

01:18:29.140 you said, there

01:18:29.740 are some people on

01:18:30.400 both sides calling

01:18:31.260 for fascism,

01:18:32.420 calling for

01:18:32.780 communism, people

01:18:33.540 feel insecure, our

01:18:35.760 old systems are

01:18:36.500 going away, you

01:18:37.140 said that clearly,

01:18:38.640 and everybody

01:18:39.140 feels that, and

01:18:40.140 so they're calling

01:18:40.880 for a central

01:18:42.020 power to calm

01:18:42.780 things down.

01:18:43.920 That's the

01:18:44.460 trend that I

01:18:45.160 see.

01:18:46.120 Do you have

01:18:46.560 hope that we

01:18:47.580 will retain our

01:18:49.240 basic liberties in

01:18:50.340 the midst of this

01:18:51.280 change?

01:18:52.260 Well, you've

01:18:53.100 described the

01:18:53.800 contest perfectly,

01:18:55.800 and of course I

01:18:58.140 don't know the

01:18:58.940 answer, but I

01:18:59.680 know that if we

01:19:00.460 do nothing, I

01:19:01.880 know the answer.

01:19:03.080 It'll get worse,

01:19:04.060 the Hitler's or 0.90

01:19:06.380 the Mussolini's,

01:19:08.040 they will take

01:19:09.060 over, and

01:19:09.520 they're around.

01:19:10.440 Matter of

01:19:10.680 fact, they're

01:19:11.000 already in vain.

01:19:12.280 They're now bold

01:19:13.400 enough to run as

01:19:14.600 communists and

01:19:15.720 socialists and all

01:19:17.520 this stuff, and the

01:19:18.580 lack of liberty.

01:19:20.320 So, but I still

01:19:22.620 am an optimist

01:19:24.020 because we are

01:19:25.800 getting good stuff

01:19:26.720 out on the

01:19:27.440 internet, and

01:19:28.500 there's a lot of

01:19:29.120 people that know

01:19:30.060 this, just like

01:19:30.660 now.

01:19:31.060 There are so

01:19:32.680 many people

01:19:33.200 call, they want

01:19:34.420 to have an

01:19:34.860 interview, and I

01:19:35.580 say, well, here

01:19:37.040 is somebody that

01:19:37.800 heard me talk

01:19:39.180 20 years ago, and

01:19:41.060 he has his own

01:19:41.700 organization.

01:19:43.340 The war is on,

01:19:45.040 but it's

01:19:45.280 ideological for

01:19:46.540 me, and I

01:19:47.900 think that's

01:19:48.340 wonderful.

01:19:48.860 I think it's

01:19:49.320 wonderful about

01:19:50.040 talk show hosts,

01:19:51.240 whether they're on

01:19:51.860 TV or radio or

01:19:52.980 whatever, because

01:19:54.080 we have to change

01:19:55.140 people's minds,

01:19:56.600 because just

01:19:58.720 bulldoze it in

01:19:59.780 and say, well,

01:20:00.660 he's a bad

01:20:01.420 guy, let's

01:20:02.380 boycott, let's 1.00

01:20:03.400 shoot him, let's

01:20:04.200 put him in

01:20:04.660 prison, let's 0.97

01:20:05.460 get control of

01:20:06.080 the Department of

01:20:06.640 Justice, and we're

01:20:07.840 going to do

01:20:08.280 good.

01:20:09.280 I mean, it's a

01:20:10.000 vicious, bad

01:20:10.980 idea, so that

01:20:12.440 we who believe in

01:20:13.760 something have to

01:20:15.060 present the cause

01:20:16.000 for liberty, and

01:20:17.100 that should be a

01:20:17.840 goal, it should be

01:20:18.980 a very noble

01:20:20.880 goal to struggle

01:20:22.240 for liberty.

01:20:23.860 Well, what about

01:20:24.760 our moral bearings?

01:20:26.220 Well, that's going

01:20:26.900 to be up to the

01:20:27.560 individual, but they

01:20:28.440 have a better

01:20:28.860 chance than the

01:20:30.400 right now with

01:20:31.280 an authoritarian

01:20:31.920 government, and

01:20:33.420 when you look at

01:20:34.480 the authoritarianists,

01:20:35.840 just look at the

01:20:36.760 regulations that we

01:20:39.340 have, a stack of

01:20:40.220 regulations that we

01:20:42.060 have, and that's

01:20:42.940 not the right way,

01:20:43.920 but I still think

01:20:44.820 we're going in the

01:20:47.240 right directions.

01:20:48.600 Ideologically, there's

01:20:49.820 a lot more people

01:20:50.880 that talk about the

01:20:52.840 money issue, you

01:20:54.040 know, and things

01:20:54.580 like that.

01:20:55.080 You know, when I

01:20:57.660 got interested in

01:20:58.520 it, it was probably

01:20:59.280 a little bit in the

01:21:00.800 50s.

01:21:02.240 Matter of fact, it

01:21:03.000 was real early

01:21:03.860 because, you know, I

01:21:05.020 delivered milk and

01:21:06.580 delivered papers and

01:21:07.700 had coins, I would

01:21:09.140 save my dimes and

01:21:10.140 nickels.

01:21:10.600 Back then, the

01:21:11.680 dimes had silver in

01:21:12.860 it.

01:21:13.600 Can you imagine?

01:21:15.080 No, it's hard to

01:21:15.740 imagine.

01:21:17.020 So, silver dollars,

01:21:18.460 back then, I

01:21:19.160 remember we had

01:21:19.920 silver dollars, but

01:21:21.280 now it's all

01:21:22.700 different and it's

01:21:23.900 not in the money.

01:21:25.220 So, I think, no,

01:21:26.700 that's the one

01:21:27.220 thing I think people

01:21:28.220 should realize that

01:21:29.700 this whole thing I'm

01:21:30.720 talking about, as

01:21:31.360 you can tell, I'm a

01:21:32.120 little bit excited.

01:21:33.160 I think it's an

01:21:34.580 exciting idea.

01:21:36.180 I can't think of

01:21:36.860 anything more

01:21:37.820 entertaining and

01:21:39.160 interesting and

01:21:40.100 valuable is to

01:21:42.060 talk about,

01:21:43.920 describe, and work

01:21:44.820 for liberty because

01:21:46.240 that's where you

01:21:47.500 can practice your

01:21:48.540 liberty and practice

01:21:49.700 your beliefs and

01:21:51.020 you can learn

01:21:51.580 forever.

01:21:52.120 You know, it

01:21:52.800 isn't like, okay, I

01:21:54.140 went through 12

01:21:54.840 grades now, I'm

01:21:55.980 going to, I

01:21:57.360 passed, so that's

01:21:59.080 it.

01:21:59.780 No, each thing

01:22:01.060 isn't, you learn

01:22:02.180 more from it and

01:22:03.520 I think, I think

01:22:07.160 it's all available

01:22:08.240 to us, so I'm

01:22:08.900 very thankful for

01:22:10.520 the liberties that

01:22:11.480 we do have and

01:22:13.000 the amount of

01:22:14.180 people we can

01:22:14.860 reach.

01:22:15.660 If you'd have

01:22:16.460 asked me this,

01:22:17.160 even when I was

01:22:17.800 in college, starting

01:22:19.160 to think about

01:22:19.800 to ever have

01:22:23.380 talked to as

01:22:23.920 many people as

01:22:24.520 I have since

01:22:25.160 then, I would

01:22:26.280 say, you're

01:22:27.120 dizzy, what

01:22:28.240 have you been

01:22:28.620 drinking?

01:22:29.740 I'm not going

01:22:30.180 to, so I

01:22:30.960 started going to

01:22:32.200 college, and you

01:22:33.480 know, there were

01:22:34.040 times I'd get 15

01:22:35.120 people out on a

01:22:36.080 college campus

01:22:36.720 wanting to talk

01:22:37.560 about freedom and

01:22:38.800 libertarianism, so

01:22:40.740 it's one of those

01:22:42.500 things that I'm

01:22:43.980 really involved

01:22:47.780 in, and I

01:22:48.440 think it's so

01:22:49.080 important, and

01:22:50.500 it should be

01:22:51.160 fun, that's one

01:22:52.100 thing, when I

01:22:52.580 give a talk and

01:22:53.300 tell people for

01:22:54.220 45 minutes how

01:22:55.420 terrible it is, and

01:22:56.420 the young people,

01:22:57.180 and you have to

01:22:57.700 do something about

01:22:58.740 it, I said that,

01:23:01.000 you know, I think

01:23:03.500 you should, and

01:23:04.760 everything you do,

01:23:05.680 when we come to

01:23:06.660 a meeting, a

01:23:09.520 conference that we

01:23:10.260 have, we claim

01:23:12.960 that, you know,

01:23:15.740 you're supposed to

01:23:16.320 have fun here, tell

01:23:17.580 the bad stuff, and

01:23:19.160 like I said, that

01:23:20.620 one person heard

01:23:22.260 all the bad stuff,

01:23:23.240 he says, afterwards

01:23:24.360 came out, boy, you're

01:23:25.380 really an optimist,

01:23:26.700 but five or ten

01:23:27.580 minutes was talking

01:23:28.680 to good stuff, but

01:23:29.820 I think that's

01:23:30.620 great, so I think

01:23:33.820 that there's a lot

01:23:36.280 available to us, I

01:23:37.620 think the internet is

01:23:39.160 a mixed bag, there's

01:23:40.440 a lot of bad stuff

01:23:41.540 out there, but

01:23:42.760 there's a lot of

01:23:43.560 good stuff out

01:23:44.380 there, too, and

01:23:45.720 I try to avoid

01:23:47.700 the bad stuff, I

01:23:50.700 don't want to be

01:23:51.480 influenced.

01:23:54.640 Congressman Ron

01:23:55.460 Paul, the joy

01:23:57.200 radiates off you, it

01:23:58.400 always has, and it

01:23:59.780 just makes you a
