Ron Paul: At the Daily Show's Studio NYC 6.4.07

[carroln]

I have been blessed enough to actually shake Ron Paul's hand. Of all the politicians I have been fortunate enough to see speak live, he was the most rational politician I have ever met. He was also very friendly and allowed everyone to shake his hand and ask him a question. He is a truly great man. Ron Paul 2012.

[BLUEANGEL7777777777]

Libertarians do not accept a trade off every 4 years- bouncing back and forth - with Liberals taking away Economic Freedoms( Taxes galore)

and Republicans going after personal freedoms like homosexuality.

There has always been 1 vote since Americas founding which the founding fathers Voted on.

Federalist or Anti-federalist.

The system would remain in place the same virtually with out the fed except their would state issued currency more than likely issued with the value in gold or silver.

[goonerLIFE1]

RON PAUL - PRESIDENT

OBAMA - VP

2012!!!!! trust me lol ... or not

[danbowski40]

Ron Paul 2012!

Obama White House Custodian 2012! But he will have a heavy competition with Sarah Palin for that position. ;-)

[goonerLIFE1]

oh rite , forgot about her ! haha

[BLUEANGEL7777777777]

God, when will people believe In the freedom to prosper, and know if they were allowed to they Could EASILY AFFORD HEALTH CARE.

There are still a few IGNORANT enough that believe Life consist's of crumbs that fall off of a PEOPLE FUNDED government table...stupid.

If OUR DOLLAR had 100% value and stability- people working for MCDONALD's could EASILY afford health care.

That's what Ron Paul is fighting for...

Basically DON'T SELL YOUR SELF SHORT.

Ignorance always sells short, then NEEDS TO BEG.

[liberteeen]

the problem is stupid cunts like you think it is ok to work in macdonlds. How many more decades do you need to realise that the trickle down economics doesn't work. the most advanced countries in the world are scandinavian, and socialist, the problem is the average republicans brain is too limited and thinks if you are not a facist then you must be a communist

you watch too much shit like fox news,

[BLUEANGEL7777777777]

Liberteen, The problem is your incompetence.

LOL- Really, Dumbass socialist.

I think you mean The Most Advanced "Governments" are socialist.

Going past that Would be The CHINESE Dictatorship which has full and Complete Control over its HUMAN CAPITAL.

Only a Fuck stick like you would believe "Some other Flesh and Blood, has better intentions for me, Rather than My Own Flesh And Blood"- Your a volunteer slave, not even asking whats in it for you...Just say YES'EM Masta. That is your only

[snowwolf7777]

i wish, my insurnce company dropped my health care after i paid my perimum..

[LibertyAndJustice4U]

I love Ron Paul! Go LIBERTY!

Obama's solution is to throw money at *EVERYTHING*. Money we don't have. Isn't it nice making promises,spending money we don't have? By the way, domestic programs is the LAST thing Paul would cut. We spend billions meddling in international affairs maintaining military bases around the world. We send weapons to countries, blow up bridges, go back and fix them when our own bridges at home fall apart. What's wrong with a balanced budget?! Whats wrong with liberty?

[PorpoiseMuffins]

He's not against healthcare for all, he's against government screwing up the healthcare market any more than it already has.

[melanie5801]

I've never wanted to meet a political figure as much as I would love to meet Ron Paul.

[KillerInstinct2006]

Either him or Jefferson or Ben Frank.

[mrbalis]

Ron paul seems like a good down to earth dude...too bad people are too stupid to not want him in office

[lwanatt]

thanks for that awesome post! i usually scour pages and pages of comments just for one or two decant links!

[retroact1ve]

It boils down to this and let me dumb it down for you because obviously you aren't "right", when people have more money they spend more money and that money goes into the economy. I hope that was simple enough for you.

[retroact1ve]

Paul is dedicated to abolishing the Federal Reserve and the IRS (amongst agencies he mentioned hed do away with immediately) so he is for abolishing Federal Taxes, he is also for the ridding of the debt based scheme and under him (if elected) he would do a lot to boost our economy.

[retroact1ve]

Where in the world do you get the idea that taxes have anything to do with debt. Using a private central bank that prints our nation's currency and then loaning it at interest to our government is a debt driven scheme meant to enslave our government and eventually our people and it has worked wonderfully as a trojan horse should.

[retroact1ve]

"I, personally never agreed with old-school republican either but he's obviously less annoying than the guys who want to lower taxes and drive up debts which isn't even a platform its just insanity. Hillary 08 (ideally Obama, but maybe he can get on the VP ticket assuming he doesn't criticize her too much)" Your comments should not even be taken seriously. You are saying that hes not one of those guys who wants to lower taxes and drive up debt?

[luque73]

real people... a real leader. RON PAUL 2008!!

[matuidaisuke]

he　is　best！

[FlashVirus]

Lets all vote Ron Paul

[harvestthealbum]

So all Texan Republicans are the same? Nice hasty generalization fallacy. He's morally pro-life, but LEGALLY he thinks it should be up to the states to decide.

[BLUEANGEL7777777777]

Constitutional rights are non negotiable.

Non debatable, and with out exception to them.

[mattskky]

can't stand those suckup kids. ughh. I think Ron Paul is only "refreshing" because he's an old school republican. I, personally never agreed with old-school republican either but he's obviously less annoying than the guys who want to lower taxes and drive up debts which isn't even a platform its just insanity. Hillary 08 (ideally Obama, but maybe he can get on the VP ticket assuming he doesn't criticize her too much)

[LunarHigh]

hillary? lmao what a douchebag....you really want the same 2 families running the country for the past 20 years? you fucking kidding me?

[StKid]

Exactly, thank you! I think Clinton would be far less bad than Bush, but I think dynasties are un-American. It gets too close to a monarchy.

[pschneid221]

LMAO

[BLUEANGEL7777777777]

Bush and clinton both sent Trillions of dollars overseas as well as Jobs.

Clinton to china with walmart.

Bush to iraq with americans and the military complex.

[columbusclipper]

I agree. Paul, Kucinich, and that nut Gravel are our only choices.

[BLUEANGEL7777777777]

Gravel wants a carbon tax/ breathing tax.

I would never vote for him.

[NeuralZen]

I like Ron Paul and all, but why is he so aversive with his 9/11 talk there? He just kinda brushes it off "We'll see what we can do"...maybe he gets it a lot, I don't know. It just seemed a little careless of a response. Probably doesn't want to get popped off for re-opening a 9/11 investigation, so he doesn't want to talk about it.

[LunarHigh]

hmmmm....gee...um maybe its b/c hes FUCKING BUSY! hes on a fucking deadline for the daily show taping for christ sakes...

[columbusclipper]

Yeah, only problem with that is I don't know how many liberals want to declare themselves Republican in order to vote for Paul in the primaries. I'll bet, though, most of them are independents who are conservative economically and liberal socially. Just an uneducated hunch. For Paul to win the Republican nomination, thousands upon thousands of independents have to vote in the Republican primary. He's got a lot of Republican support, but not enough right now.

[Segtilt]

I personally think we all need to stand up against Fox News. They've committed libel against Ron, which would render them criminal. They've obstructed the democratic process. The internet, for one, is littered with evidence. Who will come forth and bring them to criminal court?

Ron Paul, you have my vote.

[nyguy]

Proof enough that NYC prefers Ron Paul over Giuliani.

[buckybadger9876]

Please go vote in 2008horserace dot com

and facebook's poll 'election 08'

[metroid101]

Ron paul WO WOOT

[electrorocket]

True, people need to not grill Ron on 9/11, but he DID say "we'll do whatever we can to help clear that mess up and find out the truth", regarding the rescue workers, but perhaps it was his code for finding out the WHOLE truth.

[Ringollo]

Is that a campaign body guard, Daily Show security, or Secret Service beside Ron Paul?

[mike8871]

too bad this man is running as a repub. he doesn't espouse the gnashing of teeth evil and hate of the typical re-pubic-an. if you think dick in bush destroyed mccain when they accused him of being mentally ill due to his being a pow, wait until they start the crucifying of this intelligent gentleman.talking about a mother eating her young.

[abruzz0]

Look, 9/11 needs to be kept silent right now. We all know 9/11 was an inside job, and so does Ron Paul. But it's NOT THE TIME to fucking talk about it. Just get Ron into office.

[slothafur]

" SHUT THE FUUUUUUUCK UP ABOUT 9/11!!!!!"

Just shut the hell up people! It's cannon fodder for Adoph Ghouliani and the rest, "There are no grassroots revolutions. Revolution is always a by product of a small group of conscientious and skilled organizers." Keep that conspiracy bull on the DL and get him into office. Liberty unites, 9/11 has been the division point and polarizer. THINK STRATEGICALLY

[audiohhh]

look, it's this simple people, you'll do more good to play the game now and get Ron INTO the oval office, THEN he can actually have the power to start poking around at 9/11 and not......Oh I don't know....LOSE ANY CHANCE OF EVEN GETTING THE NOMINATION!!!! BACK OFF ON 9/11

[luce67]

Go back to sleep sunshine. It's ok. Take your prozac.

[EchelonMonitor]

Truthers already know where Ron Paul stands--if you don't, you're totally out of the loop--so don't ask him any more 9/11 questions.

In the future, I'm going to assume anyone who does ask Ron Paul about 9/11 is working for Fox News or the CFR.

Tell all your people, keep 9/11 away from Ron Paul. After all, he's your only hope for a new investigation, so don't sabotage his campaign.

[CrypticTimes]

How can you STFU about 9/11 when it governs the whole world policy of American and its not so often said "war on terror", if 9/11 was organised by Americans or state sponsored then don't you think we should all know? Or don't you give a toss about the thousands of innocents killed in its name. It's fucking tragic when people switch off the brain lights. Osama who you say..

[exxorcyst]

if you run your sound through a normalizer it will be a lot better next time

[wtbuser]

It isn't obvious and doesn't make sense that he has any real faith in the 9/11 conspiracy. One wouldn't focus most of the previous debate on "why they attacked us..." and then claim it was an inside job. I get worried that 9/11 Truthers are going to accidentally derail his campaign. 8(

RON PAUL 2008!!!

[Woodchuckk]

I agree , they need to put on their tinfoil hats an go hide in the closet, they can come out on election day though.

[columbusclipper]

I'll take off my tinfoil hat if you take off your blindfold.

[Galaky]

I agree... but I'll only take off my tinfoil hat if those with the blindfolds do it at the same time...

[columbusclipper]

and with one hand tied behind their backs.

[selfTrust]

Write to CNN. com and let them know that Wolf Blitzer must give fair time to ALL candidiates including Ron Paul. You saw what he did to Gravel in the Democratic Debate. Email them NOW before it's too late.

w w w. cnn. com/feedback/forms/form1. html?41

[abitar1]

I am an Dr Ron Paul addict. Is that wrong?

[rbs000]

Listen to the question - what I think the questioner is referring to the current health problems of rescue workers. So that's what Ron is responding to, NOT supporting a conspiracy theory.

[luce67]

u mean that consp theory where a cave dweller with the help of Saudis, Jordanians and Pakistanis (our allies?) totally baffled the highest funded intelligence agency in the world? Who would support that? Oh, wait......

[allileoop]

"totally baffled the highest funded intelligence agency in the world? "

highest funded <> good or competent

[luce67]

They are extremely competent. Don't fool yerself. They are very well versed in information and disinformation. There are NO mistakes. Read your history about false flag operations. Prominent in many countries around the world.

[allileoop]

Im missing something. You think there is something to the conspriacy theories or you think they are all crap? I read a little about False Flag operations and I do beleive that kind of thing goes on ALOT

[luce67]

I believe in conspiracy facts. There are many people convicted of conspiracy every year in U.S. courts. Yet we are led to believe that our gov't would never do this. Thar jes simple folks clearing brush and hunting caged varmints thats all.

[allileoop]

Yeah I agree with you. I think its funny that most people only see 2 scenarios; Either it was Bin Laden or it was Bush. But really, things could be slightly more complicated couldnt they? I think its very possible that someone on the inside knew the attack was coming and used the opportunity to get rid of WTC7 and the evidence within. Scary stuff, Iwish more people asked questions

[pschneid221]

That is correct! I was standing right next to the person who asked that and indeed they were asking what will be done about the CURRENT health of the 9/11 workers. My sound isn't the best, I apologize.

[gltskline]

Restore the Republic and the Constitution. Vote Ron Paul in 2008!

[forsytjr]

Way to go Ron Paul! He really did great on the Daily Show.

[rbdeyoung]

Why all these 9/11 "Truth" people convinced that Ron Paul is going to start parroting all of their crazy conspiracy theories? Do you listen to him? He brushes you off at every chance he gets! His idea of the "New World Order" is so vastly more sensible than Alex Jones' idea of some vast shadow government of Jewish bankers conspiring with Skull and Bones frat boys while they run around the woods naked!

You hurt Ron Paul's message when you chew your tinfoil hat in front of a camera with him!

[fuctnfried]

I agree 100% with the above

[whoseurgranny]

nice vid!

[buckndaisey]

Thank you! Does anyone have a video of the show last night??

[confondu]

I think viacom pulled the plug on the actual Stewart interview! This sucks....but GO RON PAUL!

[darbsllim]

America isn't ready to know the truth about 9/11 just yet - wait until he gets elected, then they'll learn the truth. Don't worry man that you didn't get to talk to him longer - I'd be a nervous wreck if I met him and had to ask some questions spontaneously like that - you did a good job!

[Iamso910]

I think Ron is pretty aware that there are a lot of unanswered questions about 9/11 that should be cleared up.

That doesn't mean that he, or many 'so called' truthers all believe the government was behind the attacks.

There is a clear cover up on many issues....they ought to be investigated.

[radiofriendly]

he brings tears to my eyes! - this support/luck/divine blessing...couldn't happen to a nicer guy!

[sarcasm17]

Yes it is finally nice to seem him with security. He defiantly needs it!!

And to the people saying the 9/11 truthers are going to fuck it up for us.

Just remember WHO first started promoting this guy.. Waaay back before the debates and way before he announced running!! Us truthers HELPED him in his decision to run!! just because you have jumped on the bandwagon do not take away from who supported him first!

[sswanick]

Those 911 truthers need to take a step back and see if they are helping Dr. Paul or not. And I believe it is quite obvious, they are not.

[ginagoddess]

What in gods name is wrong with people? Get off his back about 9/11 or everyone is going to get SICK of it! I mean EVERYONE! Jackasses!

[aravoth]

truthers...sigh.....If Ron Loses the primary I am going to fuck you up.

[aravoth]

truthers.......sigh.....If he loses the primary I'm going to fuck you people up.

[sub21ubi]

Truthers fuck off,

Go Ron Paul!

[DaveIrie]

Hey I think 9/11 was an inside job too but these motherfuckers need to get some common sense & back off.

[insidejobb]

Thanks for taking the time to post this. Go Dr. Paul!!!!

[Zodiaccaidoz]

I'm far more concerned as an American as to how this country is run than what precisely happened on that day.

Does that mean I don't care? Hardly. But these truthers (If they are genuine truthers) should stay the fuck away from Mr. Paul while he campaigns. Can you understand that if push him closer to the fringe, you won't get any closer to the truth?

Please, for the sake of the children, STFU.

[Zodiaccaidoz]

I believe the 9/11 attacks were at best, permitted to occur. But I'm not going to start bringing that shit up. Ron Paul can become the President of the United States of America.

[djbAnks]

the 9/11 truthers wont fuck anything up. The media does not want the public to know what the hell a 9/11 truther is so they will no define it. They can label these ppl and try to make all rp supporters of this paint.. etc but their message of consp or wack or whatever will be on deaf ears as the public will only understand conp and or wack as the opposition to the neocons.. so this media will not make news.

think about it.

[tecnohunk]

MAn someone upload the hsow !!! I missed it!

[jd603]

Agreed, foxnews tried to paint him as part of the 9/11 conspiracy theorist groups to try and take away support for him. He never stated he agreed with the conspiracy theories. This question was about supporting the rescue workers that were harmed during 9/11 , many are angry about that so nobody can knock Ron for these comments.

[DesolateCities]

You stupid fucking truthers, I hope you get AIDS.

[themaclady]

I wish these people would stop dogging him although I have to say they do dog all the other candidates as well...This is not part of Paul's campaign platform I can assure you of that.

[jd603]

Yeah, even fox tried to paint him as a 9/11 "truther" , this was done on purpose to cost him support. The question in this vid was about supporting the rescue workers though, so nobody can knock him for that.. he never directly stated he thought 9/11 was an "inside job" or anything like that.

[awksedgreep]

BTW, I appreciate you all posting this, but can you turn the censorship off?

That's for the other candidates. Ron Paul is for free speech. Thx

[awksedgreep]

Nice, Ron Paul must win in '08

[JiveDadson]

That big black guy doesn't look very secret for a Secret Service guy.

[ranscot]

Nice meeting you today, remember to email.

RM

[RileyDeacon]

Hmm, still waiting for a video of Paul ON the show.

[bradwatson7324]

Really! You 911 Truthers need to shut the f. up! Please read the interview Ron gave to Reason magazine. You'll see that he does not think 911 was an inside job. You conspiracy nuts need to go back to "thinking" about Roswell and Kennedy.

[Paul84674]

Some of the truthers were really anti-Ron Paul people trying to make him look bad. Other campaigns are trying every trick in the book to attack him.

[mconder]

Again with the 9/11 truthers...leave Dr. Paul alone. Ron has a chance to do something big here...bigger than anything having to do with 9/11. If you truthers can't realize that, your idiots.

[rsxracer87]

Those 911 truthers are really annoying, stop trying to pull Ron Paul to your level, you're only making him look worst.

Ron Paul 08.

[QuelDr0ma]

That true. He's on of the ones that think we need a new investigation not one of the ones that thinks at this point the government was involved. Lets face reality. About 85% of the country knows that the government is lieing. roughy 20-25% think the government was lieing and had a hand in it. Ron is trying to stay away from those people

[midnightbright]

Ron is the man! He is graceful with those who ask him about something over which he has a different view.

[helraizr]

Ron kicks ass, but i really think the 911 truthers are going to fuck it up for all of us.

[RobTzu]

Agreed.

[ronpaulwarrior]

what the hell is a 9/11 "truther" is it a bad thing to KNOW that jet fuel DIDN'T cause those towers to crumble and sure as hell didn't cause BUILDING #7 to CRUMBLE........Truth hurts sometimes, get over it!

[Tbag4U]

or maybe you guys are just saying that to try and seed the idea. I don't think 9/11 truthers are going to do anything. Anyone who votes by what private citizens are doing and not by what a candidate is about is an idiot.

[fuzzywzhe]

Start investigating the 9/11 truthers, and find out if they are really truthers, or plants of the Neocons.

[PizzaGod]

Yes, please 911Truth guys, it is true that Ron Paul is your only hope for another independent investigation, if you want it, don't mess things up. (BTW, RP has stated several times he is not a 911truther, however he does admit that the investigation was done by the government and the government can't always be trusted)

[audiohhh]

no shit. they need to back off.

[dbacks933]

amen.

[J1Goro]

Fuck it up for whom? lol you parasite on the back of humanity.

[danconia38]

Yeah 9/11 Truthers always trying to mess things up.

[JiveDadson]

I wish the hell those "Truthers" would stay away.

[J1Goro]

Oly if you think 911 happened or the Rebublicrats

or Donocrats have something to offer you

[Euraethes]

I've never been so excited to watch a television show before--and I just saw it. But now I need to study for my economics exam...XD

[graystar2]

Listening to Ron Paul is great for your economics exam. Real world practice of the theory.

[fornello123]

I love ron paul

jeez we are like 13 year old girls with the backstreet boys

[RileyDeacon]

Good stuff. I especially liked how he rebuffed the 9/11 truthers with a quick dismissal. Revisiting our foreign policy is not the same as suggesting government complicity in the attacks.

[DaveIrie]

He didn't dismiss them he said he supports further investigation into the issue of the rescue workers who are now permanently damaged & dying from the dust in the air that the gov't said was safe to breath.

[DaveIrie]

He didn't rebuff them with a quick dismissal that would not be Paul's style & would be a bitch move. He said that he supports further investigation into the matter the person brought up of the rescue workers who are dying now from the dust in the air that the government said was safe to breath.

[immanent]

EXACTLY. Look, I'm not ready to say the govt was complicit or fully responsible. I've seen a lot of truth documentaries, and I think they raise valid points/questions. Ron Paul has stated that he would be interested in a new investigation, but what truthers need to realize is that his bigger message deals with POLICY that the financiers and benficiaries of war use to profit. Watch "Money Masters" and learn about his monetary policy PLEASE. Its direly important that you all know.

[anyusmoon1]

Amen. AMEN.

[FafyrdGir]

If Ron needs more security, I'll volunteer!

[anyusmoon1]

Did you SEE all the ZUit Suits! Man that was great. I wonder if the t.v. show provided the security. I am thrilled to see it whatever the source. I am very wary of... well, er, let's just same I'm glad he had security. :-) Go Dr. Paul.

[interpauler]

President Ron Paul WILL abolish the income tax and abolish the IRS!

Vote @ RonPaul2008.notlong. com

[goneresistance]

Thank God he has some security with him, like creep, i'm relieved.

[Zodiaccaidoz]

Right on.

[creep276]

Glad to see he has security now

[dorfdoof]

Thanks for posting this!

[slfarooqui]

Ron Paul 2008!!

[meliciousrawks]

AWESOME!!!! I am THRILLED to see tonight's episode of The Daily Show!!! Ron will save this country!!! RUN RON RUN!!! (=*
