Montel: An Interview with Congressman Ron Paul

[JACKNCOKE223]

Montel was shifting in his seat like the order was given to press the big red button to launch a Missile in his former career in the Navy... He couldn't though, as the time was allotted to Dr. Paul... He could have shown a fellow service member some respect, not pretending to listen while using sign language with the producer...

[Xenthoid]

i didn't know that montel was on air america....

[yokey123]

He has delivered OVER 4000 BABIES. Lets see ...that would meanover a 20 year career he delivered 200 a year or basically one every working day of his life....kinda hard to believe...

[batlewitch]

bring back the montel willams show.

[nate850r]

Ron Paul is right the tea parties are watered down into tea baggers who barely understand what they are protesting

[brian8793]

Dang, Montel's a pretty cool dude. After seeing this interview, I've gained a lot more respect for him:)

Even if he is a Liberal, atleast he's giving The Good Doctor a chance to speak.........

[StealthSteez]

lol ron paul has so much knowledge he doesnt know when to stop. I love it.

[ragratt]

montel smokes herb. i bet he is a ron paul supporter. he is not stupid

[Buckman82]

Good job Montel!!!

[Vote3rdParty]

Ron Paul is a KKK shill. Paul held a fundraiser for Bill Johnson, another one of Paul's White Supremacist friends; who he endorsed for the Los Angeles County Court. It turns out Johnson wanted to have all non whites deported from the United States. Amazingly, Ron Paul wants to end birthright citizenship, allowing the deportation of all racial minorities. We all know how the the mostly white police state scans impoverished areas!!

[MarxistsHateRonPaul]

they should be deported

[ragratt]

he's never targeted any race. you are the racist to assume all people who gain birthright citizenship are minorities. illegal aliens arent supposed to be here so why should their kids be?? for one thing its unfair to people who are wait listed.

[Vote3rdParty]

Anyone born here has birthright citizenship. Ending birthright citizenship makes it so the state can deport the children of undocumented immigrants who are here "illegally," even though the children are here "legally." The state scans impoverished areas as we can tell by looking in any prison. Minorities make up 60%. How can you refer to any human as "illegal" is beyond me. There are natural laws and then there are the states laws. These fascist immigration laws are statist and NOT natural law.

[IKLIPTIC]

I understand your argument and am not trying to be crude but as a minority I do not feel that just because you were born here you are an american citizen; if your parents are; if 1 of your parents is sure but if you were born here your parents should apply for your citizenship. To me thats the way it should work. If you ask many of the Latin community here in Dallas they will tell you the exact same thing.

[Vote3rdParty]

"I do not feel that just because you were born here you are an american citizen"

Than that means any of us can be deported for ANY breaking of ANY law. If you deport Mexicans for breaking the law we also have to deport everyone who breaks ANY law, including speeding, and littering. Time to be FAIR! Also. You shouldn't have to be a citizen of a state to roam freely. We are all Earth citizens.

[IKLIPTIC]

Your ignoring the Rule of Law in order to inact a fictitious and lawless and unprotected free world? Citizenship of the planet is one thing citizenship of any country well that is subject to the rule of law for that nation - end of discussion.

[Vote3rdParty]

Tell that to the Jews who survived the holocaust - that they should support nationalism, and the "rule of law." When the laws are EVIL and WRONG they should be opposed!!! Understandable???

[ragratt]

..because i dont support socialism i'm a nazi? why should i pay tax to pay for healthcare and education of ppl who are not contributing and not citizens and taking jobs from americans on american soil. please step back and learn multidimensional thinking.

[Vote3rdParty]

I never said you should have to. I'm an anarchist. If your ideology is anything close to Paul's on immigration you are a National Socialist. You hate when people steal your money for healthcare but will champion stealing my money for a border wall and deporting immigrants.

[theadmiralburns]

Consistency with "National Socialism" on ONE ISSUE does not make one a National Socialist. That is an absolutely ridiculous statement.

The biggest difference between government spending on health care and government spending on border protection is that one is constitutionally sound and one is not. Proportionally, to compare those two things, it is like comparing our entire national defense budget to the amount of funding required to construct the Pentagon (building).

[Vote3rdParty]

"Consistency with "National Socialism" on ONE ISSUE does not make one a National Socialist. That is an absolutely ridiculous statement."

Can you name ONE White Nationalist, Nazi, or Neo-Confederate group which DOESN'T support Ron Paul??

David Duke (the white nationalist) ran on anti-affirmative action, anti-public schools, and anti-welfare, and anti-immigrant themes as a Republican in louisiana. HE also endorsed Paul!! Do YOU not even know what National Socialists stand for?

[theadmiralburns]

Listen...I can't even name white nationalist group at all. Guess why - they're irrelevant IMO!

Just because less than 1% of a man's supporters are racists, you attribute those group's characteristics to the him? In other words, Obama was supported by Farrakhan, so Obama must be a Black Muslim?

Do I even know what National Socialists stand for? Yes, I do.

[theadmiralburns]

I am against FEDERAL funding of public schools, FEDERAL welfare programs,ILLEGAL immigration (I am in favor of legal immigration) and affirmative action (strongly in favor of INDIVIDUAL rights). Does this truly make me either a white nationalist, national socialist or neo-confederate in your view? Are you completely out of your mind? National socialism includes SOCIALISM, and there is was no candidate in this election cycle more anti-socialist than Ron Paul! You are just so incredibly wrong.

[Vote3rdParty]

"I am against... ILLEGAL immigration... (strongly in favor of INDIVIDUAL rights)"

You are for a tax and spend border wall and for forcing immigrants as well as citizens to pay taxes by threat of force to support PAUL's MASSIVE tax-and-spend immigration platform. You are not for "individual rights" you fascist lunatic. The fascists were socialists like the Ron Paul and the republican party is socialist. NATIONALISM has a PRICE.

[theadmiralburns]

I'm for TAXING and SPENDING on CONSTITUTIONAL policies. I AM for individual rights, no matter what sort of incorrectly attributed slanderous names you call me. Definitively, I'm not fascistic in any respect. You either do not know what a fascist is, you are incorrect about me in a number of ways, or you are just throwing around the most offensive words you can come up with. Socialism has a definition. Socialism is opposed to Paul's ideology. Say what you will on the GOP. Why so hateful?

[MrNawlidge]

@Vote3rdParty Lol the fascists were socialists? i guess the dictionary didn't get to ask you. LOL yes i'm sure the IRS and the FBI( which paul wants to abolish) conducts their day to day operations for paul's private benefit. Saying a libertarian is not for liberty is doublespeak propaganda. Please sit on your hands before you hurt yourself. Hope err uhh Change or something

[Vote3rdParty]

@MrNawlidge - No, Hitler and Mussolini were not socialists. They abolished worker's unions and strikes while killing jews, gays, professors, and communists. Wait, aren't those all the same groups right-wingers hate too?

[emorganschuster62]

@Vote3rdParty Check your history. Socialist killed millions in the USSR, China, Cambodia. Neocons came from Trotskyites. Nazi means National Socialist. And we have many Nazis still hanging out in Aerospace and the intelligence communities left over from WWII.

[Xenodamus]

If federal funding stopped or were greatly reduced, would you support a law banning southern trash from coming to live up in the Northern states?

[Vote3rdParty]

"The biggest difference between government spending on health care and government spending on border protection is that one is constitutionally sound and one is not."

Where does it say anything about healthcare? Where does it say Paul can deport all non-whites by ending birthright citizenship?

[theadmiralburns]

Health care is not constitutionally sound. Border protection is constitutionally sound. I don't agree with Paul on birthright citizenship. See, you can disagree with someone on one issue without disagreeing with them on every issue.

WHEN DID PAUL EVER SAY HE WANTS TO DEPORT ALL NON-WHITES??? This is a dishonest statement, and you know it. I would never support such a thing and neither does Paul.

[IKLIPTIC]

Ron Pauls views on birthright citizenship deals with those that are NON citizens having a child here and the child being BORN an American; nt those that are born to american citizens or current american citizen.

[Vote3rdParty]

"Ron Pauls views on birthright citizenship deals with those that are NON citizens having a child here and the child being BORN an American"

We're all citizens of the Earth. Stop pretending America is some "special" white land. The Native Americans were non-citizens who were HERE BEFORE US. Are you in favor of the Trail Of Tears?

[IKLIPTIC]

I'm in favor of the rule of law; we do not live in this magical world that you live in if we did then sure roam free but since we don't we have to use common sense until we can make a truly free world, anyone who cant understand that doesn't understand the past and therefore deserves to be subject to repeating it.

[Vote3rdParty]

You can be for the rule of law. Just be fair, and support deportation of anyone who breaks any laws, including littering, and speeding. I don't live in any "magical world," I'm speaking of the way things SHOULD be according to me and my morals.

Don't you want freedom? Don't you want freedom for others?

[IKLIPTIC]

The way they SHOULD be and the way they are are 2 different things; you have to work towards what you want and that means working hard and continuing to fight for that but to just believe and state today it should be this way or that means you have leaders that agree with you; and today sorry to say you don't - not in any country are they 100% with you. deporting for breaking a law is stupid; deporting for coming here illegally yes. citizenship has privileges.

[Vote3rdParty]

"deporting for breaking a law is stupid; deporting for coming here illegally yes."

Coming here illegally is "breaking the law." You just completely contradicted yourself. "Citizenship has privileges." That's the statist and nationalist thinking that led to the extermination of minorities in Germany, the main one being the Jews. It takes three E's to lead to a holocaust: Exclude, Enslave, Exterminate.

[MonkeyLessThanThree]

This implies that America has the right to send it's criminals to other countries. That's a bit arrogant, wouldn't you say?

[Vote3rdParty]

America doesn't have rights. Individuals have rights - at least according to me. I'm no nationalist "patriot." I'm just making a point. I don't support deportation of anyone. Why the double standard for the Mexicans is all I'm getting at.

[MonkeyLessThanThree]

How is it a double standard? It's kind of hard to deport Americans to America... if they do a crime in America...

[Vote3rdParty]

Do it Ron Paul's way. End birthright citizenship and you can deport people to there parents or grandparents country of origin.

[MonkeyLessThanThree]

That puts an unfair and unreasonable burden on countries where people aren't from- and have no connection to except ancestral ties. Also, nice touch on the thumbs down you gave to my comment...

[Vote3rdParty]

"That puts an unfair and unreasonable burden on countries where people aren't from- and have no connection to except ancestral ties."

I agree with you 100%. We should DEMAND answers from fascist Ron Paul on this!!

"Also, nice touch on the thumbs down you gave to my comment..."

Never thumbs-downed anything. Your psychic abilities have failed this day Lady Cleo.

[theadmiralburns]

3rd Party, I would very much like to see you in person sometime - truly. I really feel bad for you. You are confused and false in your ways and you clearly pride yourself on your ideology, which is incredibly inconsistent. I've always wondered about people who throw around names like "fascist" which you have clearly assigned incorrectly. It's like people who call everything that they don't like the next "Hitler." I'm sure almost no one is acceptable to you. Are you acceptable to yourself?

[measgoon]

Thats why Rockefeller is the president of America wether you like it or not, he holds the purse strings. There should have been no bailouts with taxpayers money and the banks should have been left to go bankrupt then the government take control of the publics money rather than a corporation looking for trillions of profit.

[Shohadaku]

that was 6 million IN ONE DAY Montel! He raised MUCH more overall. Had more military support then ALL other Candidates on BOTH SIDES COMBINED

[unrik08]

That is rediculous do you even have a clue how much it costs to run a presidential campaign 10 million please plus what do you think funded the campaign for liberty Ron Paul along w/ the rest of our Campaign 4 Liberty are being considered right wing extremists Dr. Paul is a heroe and a great American

[dukeofpuddles1]

what a phony!

pocketed 10 mil last summer and told amreicans to go f* themselves.

Where is the money Dr.?

TAX DAY TEA PARTY

watch?v=NjsHxwtr97s

[ezrapago]

I'm a Ron Paul supporter and I have a question concerning his stance on the income tax. He often says that he would demolish the income tax and that we would be just fine without it. How so?. How else are they going to pay for the things that our taxes pay for now?. Not that I'm against this idea just curious to know. Thanks

[satchelmcqueenvideo]

they could pay for a lot of things by bringing all the troops home and shutting down all the bases in other countries. thats a ton of money each day right there. they could cut programs that arent needed, eliminate whole departments that arent needed, use tarifs. that would be massive savings if all of that was done.

[ChimneyMcSmokesalot]

Well, thats the lie. Not one dollar collected from our income tax pays for civic services. 100% of all Federal Income tax revenue collected goes to pay the interest on the debt owed to the Federal Reserve.

[ezrapago]

Hey Chimney, how do you know this?.

[harryogre]

ezrapago

The easy answer is basic math

Income Tax only brings in something like 200 billion and thats a drop compared to the budget

There are several ways the government makes money and income tax is just one

But the question deserves a bigger answer than the 400 limit allowed by YouTube

Dr. Paul has covered this in a number of his books and its well covered by writers like Lew Rockwell, Tom Woods, and others

I suggest you check out the Mises institute

On YouTube search "misesmedia"

[pitbrand]

Their are some answers here and one I've heard talked about is the federal government charges a 1% federal sales tax on all purchases made in the United States. They could add that small tax and it is studied that that would be enough income for the federal government. Also in that scenario the people would have their earned income back in their pockets so they would be able to buy more and in turn be paying their taxes to both the state and federal government through that sales tax.

[IRSFRAUDEXPOSED]

it really doesn't pay for much look around he has video where he explains this.

[kungfujones1]

Every dime we we pay towards the income tax is interest owed to the federal reserve. It lends the money that it creates out of thin air to the treasury which is then spent by the government. This causes inflation, which in reality is another tax because it decreases our purchasing power and leeeons the value of our currency.

You should check out this film, From freedom to fascism. I think you will learn a lot.

[militantrebell]

FUCK ALL THE MAINSTREAM MEDIA! the only president that went against the globalist is JFK and look what happenned to him. executive order 11110 and his famous secret societies speech im out

[IRSFRAUDEXPOSED]

HELP a grassroots Revolution to empower the conservative people of America. Please help spread the word that if they SUPPORT Ron Pauls campaign for liberty ( youtube campaign for liberty ) we may be able to put a true patriot not controlled by global groups like the CFR . LISTEN online to REPUBLIC BROADCASTING .[org for info on the new world order movement without the party spin.

[NoLongerFooled]

F**k Faux News. Bloodsuckers.

[deborahmouser]

Ron Paul would have been proud of us- we stood up, but were very well behaved!

And I salute Montel for having the guts to discuss this movement objectively! How refreshing! And for the record, I would protest ANYONE who was pushing this kind of agenda for the U.S.!

[sbmillionair]

fuck the tea party, majority of them are hypocrites and wouldn't be protesting if mccain was in office.

[ChimneyMcSmokesalot]

well yeah, sadly thats the majority now. But the RP campaign ppl started the Tea Parties innitially to draw attention to the Fed etc. And now we've got a bunch of neocons usurping our message & turning it into an Obama bitchfest. Make no mistake, ending the Federal Reserves power in the U.S. is not a "partisan" issue.

[ftorresgamez]

"fuck the tea party, majority of them are hypocrites and wouldn't be protesting if mccain was in office. "

Probably right - and what I find troubling is that there is NO focus in their protest. IF they focused on the very ONE thing that got this country in trouble,which is the FED, and just stick to THAT issue, the protests would be much more effective than they are.

[IRSFRAUDEXPOSED]

you are correct ghowever we must lead them sheep in the right direction or fox new will . if all conservatives would listen to republic broadcasting and not fox we may get ron paul a honest man who ISNT run by the globalist

[sbmillionair]

agree

[caseybritton]

even a boot licker, like Montel has a libertarian on....nice....

[libertyeconomics]

I believe Montel's heart has been in the right place. He has done some good work on exposing things like the anthrax vaccine.

[BlueHappyBlueHappy]

Support the Campaign For Liberty. End the Fed NOW. Audit the Dept. of Treasury. No to HR 45. Let's get our country back NOW. Get your friends involved. Write your senators and congress people. No more bail-outs. Criminals should go to jail. Let's get our Constitution back.

[principles101]

I agree. Fox News will kill the movement. Remember, they act like your friend and then stab you in the back. Same as funding two wars. People should be very leary of ANY mainstream media getting involved. 912 Project is an example.

[hazballs09]

Not even a standing army can stop an idea whose time has come.

Faux news? pfft

[tonybonez]

Exactly ...every comment on this page is correct. I hate how fox news acts like they are one with the people in the tea party.

It drives me crazy. They purposely avoid putting the message on national media. Instead the most watched media makes jokes about"tea bagging" I mean c'mon even if you don't agree, don't treat it like a joke. I hate that!!!

[MMS747]

How to kill a grassroots movement...get Fox behind it.

[livelovebe1970]

Yep....I am a democrat and Obama supporter. But I believe in your right to be heard. Be careful of Fox. Go to MSNBC....yes I know they are liberal media but shows like Rachel Maddow are much more likely to give you a platform for your issue. Fox will kill you...I promise.

[putittogether]

The TeaParty does not want the G.O.P. or the DNC.

The TeaParty is here to kick the Republicans and Democrats asses, out of office.

The TeaParty is a grassroots movement, we will not let the Republicans highjack our movement!!!!

The TeaParty is by, and for the American People.

Dont let the Republicans highjack our movement!!!

[scottthrees]

Personal freedom and the message of that is growing. And dont be blinded by the Republicans, they had plenty of time to listen to us and they never have. Freedom is the movement dont let false parties take it over.

[StuntManPliskin]

MOOOOONNTEL!! The UK misses you!

[WashMitt]

Ron Paul WE NEED YOU!!!!!

[ghengisconrad]

Really this is more of us hijacking the hijacked message. Don't worry, this is a good thing.

You can't distort the ideas of freedom for very long. Eventually reality will come up and bite you in the ass.

GO TO YOUR COUNTY CONVENTIONS. DEMAND NEW BLOOD.

[mete1954]

Division = Dilution

MSM propaganda network has latched onto the RP R3V like a tick on a hound.

Be aware of their false prophet clowns.

Great interview...thanks for posting.

[ghengisconrad]

Listen to yourself. Before it was "boo hoo MSM doesn't listen to us or put us on because they are controlled by reptillians" and now your "boo hoo, MSM DOES listen to us adn put us on because they are controlled by reptillians who want to 'dilute us'"

[d3p3ch3mod3]

Anyone else think it's ironic that Fox News wouldn't let Paul join the GOP debates but once they lost Fox started getting people like Glenn Beck and now they're covering the tea parties... And ultimately Paul's criticism of Obama is extremely rational and sane compared to the new tea party Nazis... Think the Tea Party guys agree with going easier on Cuba etc?

[ghengisconrad]

They certainly are hypocritical fucks; but we'll get them over to our side.

Freedom is a popular message!

[edgell911]

you know you can have all the rally's you want say anything you want about it but the truth is the goverment aint listening and that should show you that they dont give a fuck about us....hell when the big banks went bust and they took your money you should of relized it

[ghengisconrad]

So what do you suggest we do then? Go around posting on websites bitching that "it'll never work"? Because the movement seems to have grown by an attitude exactly OPPOSITE of your own.

If you don't have anything constructive to say, don't say anything at all.

[randyinwa]

CampaignForLibertyDotCom. Spread the word.

[freedomcorp]

So true! The liberty movement is being hijacked by traitors, just like the Republican party was.

[Patriot4Liberty1776]

great video --

Liberty for ALL people!

[AWTENCHEE]

[stevemcgee99]

Wow, Montel actually stated some of the platform ideas at the start of the interview? Oh, must be radio...

Nice job giving Paul a chance to mention the parts of Obama's policy he agrees with, Montel. And to allow him the space to give precise criticism, too.

Try this, Montel:

Restrict BIg Brother, Unleash the People!

or

Strength of the US? INDIVDUAL Liberty!

or

Self-reliance Builds Strong Communities!

or

Regulation is the Lobbyist's Goal; Civil Courts are the People's Protection!

[NoBailout4Banksters]

Way to go Montel.

Now this is how an interviewer is supposed to interview their guest. NOT butt in when your guest is speaking.

A couple of times Montel had something to say but waited until Dr. Paul was done speaking until he said what he had to say.

BRAVO!!

Ron Paul/Rand Paul 2012

That is HISTORY that We The People can DEFINITELY get behind!!

[charcoalpet]

Short, but solid interview. Nice to see interviews when they let the guest complete their thoughts, rather than interrupt them trying to get through a list of questions.

[LisaFrequency]

I have always liked Montel I am very glad that he had the good sense to interview Ron Paul.

[audioX1]

awesome! i hope montel can have him back soon

[DolphinFilms]

Nice interview Montel...just not long enough.

[Schmauey]

I agree... but the time constraint was due to Dr. Paul's *extremely* busy schedule recently (esp. yesterday & today re: Tea Parties) Which is a great thing. Hey, nothing like a teaser to get Montel's audience to put the pressure on him to get Ron back for a longer interview. :)

[purplefetus3]

that's what she said. heh,heh

[spkrcity]

Good interview. Montel was very respectful and inquisitive.

[blakmira]

Ron Paul is ever-vigilant and always on top of *everything*! He realizes the "fake patriots" are doing everything they can to hijack the movement.

When something like his Campaign for Liberty becomes this popular, it becomes a threat and it's inevitable they will try to infiltrate it, malign it and stop it however they can.

This is a train gathering steam and they're going to get run over trying to hijack what The American People have rights to!

[looneytune73]

I didn't know Montel had a radio show...and he interviews people like Ron Paul. Sweet!!!!!!

[brownns83]

This is a great interview. Montel was very fair unlike most interviewers that Ron Paul deals with.

[Gibson102286]

go montel! been watching you since I was young teenager. You are among the people that can get the voice out there!
