@@jimlovesgina blast from the past! But I agree!

He was i was to young to vote back then and to stupid.

I JUST noticed your username @Al Gore -ithm! Clever. VERY clever!

We saw how swiftly the swamp undermined, thwarted and eventually swallowed a combative and savvy-tweeting President Trump. I think Ron would have fought the good fight... but still been sucked down by the Washington Swamp.

Truth!

Yup👍

The President that never was.

Ross Perot saw the writing on the wall and was rejected. But, I agree Ron would have been a great choice when he ran

That's asking for a lot lol 😂

He set a standard for Presidential campaigning. Tell people what is really going on with the government.

Absolutely true

No, he only talks, identify one achievement. Talk is cheap

for sure, truly a great American tragedy...

@@scottrickhoff4184 Blocking some of the bad legislation is victory enough these days.

I think of that all the time. It'll be a sad day in history when dr. Paul and Thomas Sowell pass. I felt that way when Walter Williams passed recently. Three Brilliant Minds that too many people don't listen to.

who cares, he is pissing in the wind, we have overall less freedom that when he started out ,yay you can get legitimized fucking someones ass and getting high......if thats a great achievement,man your low on standards, all his talk is so nice ,but its bullshit as it does not promote morality or values, just shitting on the government

I do!

@@silence-humility-calmness which freedoms would you like to hav

@@silence-humility-calmness you don’t know anything about Ron Paul if you think he doesn’t promote morality and values. He literally brought that to the libertarian movement. The Mises Caucus is largely the remnants of his movement and they are the only libertarians who take a stance on social issues involving morals. Ron has and still promotes more moral values then anyone in politics. He just does it in a loving and respectful way so he doesn’t get sound bites.

@@skylanh4319 i like ron , i listened to him alot, ideologically he has wonderful ideas ,but in practicality only the sad stuff was adapted ,love and respect is useless in the face of hitler/stalin style censorship , the only option left is ruthless ,relentless aggression, you need to be more connected to your community and relentlessly make politicians tentacles (police,inspectors,etc)uncomfortable,and govern yourselves,cause that way no one can lock you down unless you decide to do so as a community , its funny how you need strong communities to keep communism at bay

Im appalled that his daily uploads only tend to hit 10-12k. He should be getting the millions that Rogan does. Not that Rogan doesn't deserve them, just that Dr. Paul does too.

What a fucking joke. He doesn't have answers, he just points out the problems just like every other parasitic politician with a hot button issue. He's capitalizing on your attention and he has no answers to fix the problems nor does he have any real power. Real power comes from pure genius and creativity and none of you listen to that person because they sound different than anything you've ever heard before and you don't know how to judge them of course. You're all insecure in the presence of the likes of me so you avoid me. You fucking hate me because I'm smarter than you and I make you feel stupid. Not my fucking fault. All of you need to grow up and realize that the most intelligent people alive are not nice people and it's us that have the answers to save your asses.

The biggest mistake America has made in my lifetime is not electing Ron Paul as president. He has been so right for so long. We are now and have been facing the consequences of everything he talked about. It's about to get much much worse. Get food, water, supplies, and do the best you can to make sure your family is prepared. Best to you and yours!

@@12gmkk29 Dummy go play with your Kamala blow up doll 😅🤣😂

I love Ron, but I dont like libertarians. I'd still take his as president over anyone else

Bernie?? Bernie is exactly like Biden he will go along with what they tell him to do, look how easy he sold out when Killery rigged the primaries , the DNC told him to shut up and they will give him a book deal. That is exactly what he did. Some college freshman wrote his biography and Bernie bought his 3rd house and dropped a cool million cash into his account. Some socialist. LOl

Bernie Sanders is easily swayed by the establishment and very militant which is not like Ron Paul.

Bernie Sanders was not anti establishment. Bernie Sanders policies were an intensified version of the establishment.

They both played their roles perfectly

​@@mildredhousefilmssadly, your argument here wins

Same here. It was the first time I actually paid attention to and started caring about how government is ran. Knowing he'd lose, I wish he'd run again, just to open more people's eyes.

Ronaldus Magnus, as Rush called him, was who prompted me to open my eyes to the "power of freedom and liberty" as you say. Just realizing preconceived notions are no predictor of current/future realities is a start to a season of research and discovery.

Amen to that.

Mr. Stossel is a rare gem.

Stossel actually interviews allowing his guests to present their positions ideas and goals rather than having a guest so they can force their own narrative on the audience.

@@redpillsatori3020 I love how he displays his mastery when he plays Devil's advocate. He'll raise the common counterpoints and opposition stances clearly and without malice or strawmanning them. Often the points he'll bring up are even used in mainstream "interviews." The big difference that shows his prowess, though, is he actually allows the guest to formulate and present their retort. He does not let his emotions control him when bringing up even beliefs he personally holds, always allowing the guest to reply.

Amen.

Live and learn! People who aren't natural libertarians are the best libertarians...because they can see how and why libertarians have failed to win...and correct those errors ...see Dr Helen Fisher talking to Reason & Cato

Or Trump or most other red or blue politicians. They are all in it for power and ego. Paul seems one of the few that are actually in it to make a difference and not just glorify himself.

I’ve written him in for more offices than I can count. I wasn’t 18 yet when he was on the ballot.

so as an individual how can you help change it?

even his son Rand paul are fighting for our freedom, vaules and rights

Well, I find it hard to make changes. I talk to people who listen, and give my opinion as to why what we have now is incorrect. The sad thing is, most people don't understand or really don't care. I also vote for people who I feel will be the best in that position. Not much to choose from though.

@@camcam2457 the problem in my opinion is immortality . Half the population clings to democrats because they support thier bizarre practices . Individual responseability would put end to pretend sexes and honesty would end indoctrination of children in schools . The immoral people would hate that

@@camcam2457 The best chance is in New Hampshire. Dozens of libertarians are in the state legislature.

Even if Biden could write a book he still wouldn't make any sense.

If Biden lives to the age ron Paul is now it's doubtful he would even be a functioning person. He for sure wouldn't be able form a sentence of any sort. He probably would require 24/7 care and need to have even basic things people do in a day done for him.

N-n-n-nah not that, you know the THING

Your giving Biden to much credit. In his current state a microchip download wouldn't help him.

Biden can't even talk with fluidity about his own life. Who the hell corn pop? 🤣🤣🤣

*even less enlightened

We are not in the right track at all.

Rand Paul. Meh. He’s just ok. He’s way more in line with republicans tho than his dad was. And even if we had 10 rams Pauls we’re still not on the right track. The Fed / the oligarchy will destroy us.

Rand Paul is just a controlled opposition. Unfortunately the apple fell far away from the tree. Ron Paul was our countries last hope.

​@@newagain9964In order to fight the threat, you must understand the threat. Godspeed.

That is for sure! Back then the establishment Republicans smeared him every chance they could, he has held the same limited Govt., reign in spending principles, for all these years and everything he said decades ago has come to pass

My son open my eyes to doctor Paul in 2012. Wish I had found him sooner. The media portrays him as a crazy libertarian, but when he speaks he makes sense. When you actually think about what he's saying, you realize that this country could be a fantastic, amazing country if we get rid of the people in charge and put people in who will protect our freedoms, our borders, and protect us with a very strong military if we are provoked by attack. That's basically the fundamentals of being libertarian. Freedom, the Constitution, peace and prosperity.

Dan I think that's what really happened when he ran for office, the smears started because he wasn't in anyone's pocket. His policy was in short: leave the rest of the world alone, we have a lot of issues we need to fix at home. Back then Fox News would scream isolationist! every time he spoke to try to nail that point home. Now when I talk to conservatives who are on board with Make America Great Again, I'm like "Yeah that was called isolationism when Ron Paul suggested it... in 2004."

I became a fan last time he ran for president. The media squashed everything he said and did. While I don't agree with a lot of what he says, I'd choose him any day over these sniveling, greedy, power hungry, manipulative, greasy politicians.

Glad you are open minded enough to watch different viewpoints. The mainstream media is no longer journalism. I feel like 90% is pure propaganda now.

Its all based on personal responsibility

As if your vote matters? As if anything changed? If you people don't start listening to the rebel geniuses like myself and make sure that we're empowered to actually manifest curative patches then we're all fucked and your slave masters have defeated us yet again.

I've been oppressed by antisocial media and cancel culture as well as the rich while all of you have been distracted by weapons in the form of mouthpieces like this KZfaq channel and every politician you've ever listened to as perfect example of those weapons of mass distraction.

If Ron DeSantis ever runs for president, check him out. He has been amazing here in South Florida. He protects our freedoms as much as he can as governor. I'd hate to lose him here in South Florida, but what a great president he could be. That is why mainstream media is out to get him. He doesn't play along.

@@camcam2457 I like DeSantis, he seems to be far more competent than our Governor Abbott.

​@SolarisLunarandelusion

​@@camcam2457You are incorrect. DeSantis favors drug prohibition and ongoing drug interdiction. Ergo, he does not protect the Lockean property rights of his constituents. In the prior, he disagrees with Ron Paul.

You're a great person

Same, I like "most" things about Rand, but ill still take him

He was silenced long before that. Remember the '12 election when during the first primaries he was always first or second, but the media never mentioned his name and would just tell you who came in second and third?

Yeah but he'll never tell you who's behind it will he? Juden!

I've never agreed with the libertarian stance on foreign policy issues, including military issues. But it is true that the fed has contributed to quite a bit of irresponsible spending in American history. Not by some complicated conspiracy to sell out the country, but by something as simple as funding with no question the unlimited ambitions of well meaning people with lofty goals and few obstacles. And this applies equally to inside the country as it does to the outside

Rand Paul is awesome. Can’t believe I never connected the dots that they are father / son.

@@abclawnworks9127 Yeah, I just started thinking ... I like these guys. what are the chances...

I will always remember how the media treated him, and will never believe anything they say. "Today, crazy dark horse candidate Paul claimed.... (insert exaggerated statement)" "Today presidential shoo in Obama said... (insert some one dimentional hope garbage)"

And he'd have made SCOTUS justice appointments that would be against the Fed, foreign wars, and forced vaccinations; and be pro gun, pro choice, and pro civil libertarian.
