Ron Paul Interview On CNN's The Arena: Talks Libya

[DayLi2US]

The President has war-powers??? what on earth is that and when was it passed into law?

[1danyol1]

@DayLi2US Quite some time ago, I want to say during the vietnam war... just google the war powers act and you can read up about it. Basically gives the president the power to send troops to war on his own as long as he gets congress's approval within 60 days.

[zenmachinefilms]

Paul is dead right here.

These two have had several good discourses in recent months. I think Spitzer brought up good points in other discussions on cutting what he calls the Big Four (Medicare, Medicaid, Social Security and Defense), but here Paul makes him look like he's entrenched in typical politics.

[joe035]

Clone Ron Paul & his offspring we need more of them in Public office!!

[IPOSER9]

smart outsiders condemn the concept of justice which seeks to elevate the weak and foolish to

rank of valuable and reject americas stupid and usurious emotions, because social equality is impossible and in the eyes of natural law there is no such thing as innocent victims just targets at the wrong place and time, or,simply instigating somethin

[morresi2011]

Instead of calling it UN (united nations), they should change it's name to OI (organization of the invading nations)

[dolfanlinda]

I LOVE you Ron!!

[YesWeCantaloupe]

Spitzer was nicer than usual.

[411American]

[chromedaffodils]

Thanks for posting!

[gonadcancervictim]

ron paul 2011 instead of 2012

[Cosmopoly23]

Even if he wouldn't look like Gandalf I would like this guy because he speaks the truth!! :D

[pac3lli]

The only person that has ever been on trial in this interview is Eliot Spitzer. Wasn't he client #9 of that prostitution ring in DC?

[christianbechtel]

What if Ron Paul is an idiot?

[Immortalsouls]

Lol, you can tell this other guy (not Ron Paul) is sarcastic towards Ron. Really trying to hammer him as if he's an idiot.

[blx2000]

Pres Bush and Pres Obama are staggering hypocrites. Both ran for president as antiwar guys and both have been responsible for killing thousands of civilians. And Pres Obama get the Noble Peace Prize????????

Pres Obama is the most blatantly proven liar ever. He regularly says one thing and does the opposite so many times that I can't even count. Most of our gov is full of criminals and idiots and should be kicked out.

[surfer390111]

He just lost the jew vote.

[TheModelification]

Impeach Obama now for Libya among 50 other impeachable offenses!

[futang987]

He's right, the United States people donate the most money to the red cross than anyone else.

[midwestcharm]

We are running out of countries to bomb

[fsujag54]

I don't believe for a second that Spitzer doesn't understand the difference between isolationism and non-interventionism. It was a jab taken at the Republican frontrunner way out ahead of the election. And why is it so hard for all of these commentators to understand that the Congress is supposed to declare war? It's absurd that the President sent a letter to Congress to tell them why we went to war.

[fsujag54]

I love how these commentators act like Dr. Paul's stance that the Congress should declare war is so bizarre. It's the law!!!

[blx2000]

@fsujag54 You are correct, it is the law, but people in the empire don't have to obey the law anymore. Presidents aren't, the congress isn't. Our present gov is above and beyond any law. We basically live in a totalitarian fed gov that pretends that it is actually concerned about its citizens. What a joke!!

[plisskin83]

Note to self. 1) Get a job in politics 2) Bang a hooker 3) Wait for CNN to call.

[nakor667]

Declaration of War is a right reserved to congress. We only win the DECLARED wars.

[akparker1]

PAUL 2012 ITS UP TO EVERY SINGLE ONE OF US TO MAKE FLYERS SPREAD THE WORDS IN OUR OWN COMMUNITIES

[pmduke06]

PAUL 2012!

[purplefetus3]

Can't believe cnn hired this dipshit!

[diurdi]

Would you send your children to fight in Libya?

Thought so.

[RonPaulSwede]

@xWren

That is because he had like 5 interviews + radio.

[shamusername]

1:55 Ron Paul is a genocide supporter :-)

[RonPaulSwede]

@shamusername

And Obama is a murderer.

[myhipsi]

@shamusername

Nice how you jump to conclusions there. If I witness two gangs out gunning each other down in the street, yet I don't want to risk my life by jumping in the middle, am I a supporter of gang violence? Your insinuation is absurd. If you are so against genocide then get off your ass and go out and do something about it instead of expecting other people (by force of government) to do so.

[shamusername]

@myhipsi you might want to read up on the actual facts of the events that went down buddy. There were no "two gangs out gunning each other down in the street", there was a government using artillery on unarmed protestors.

[myhipsi]

@shamusername

I was simply making a point with my "two gangs" example. I don't profess to know exactly what's going on in Libya, and I'm damn sure you don't either. Hell, the state department doesn't even really know who the "rebels" really are yet. All I'm saying is, it's none of our business, and even if action was justified, you can't stop every evil in the world, not even the good ole U.S. of A. The US is already bankrupt... I wonder why?!@

[shamusername]

@myhipsi Yeah, the point you were making was completely off and not applicable to the situation. And sure you can point out hypocrisy and that you do not have all the information and that you cannot afford morals until the cows come home but really all you do is arguing for not helping those who are in desperate need of help. And that makes you a despicable human being.

[myhipsi]

@shamusername

Listen, it's not just about having morals. If you'd actually think for a minute instead of being so irrational. I'm all for helping one's neighbor, so to speak, but you have to be thoughful about it. You have to have all the necessary information (The state dept. doesn't), you have to be able to spare the resources (14+ trillion debt), and you must do it with the approval of the debtors (President Obama just took action based on a U.N. resolution).

[shamusername]

@myhipsi I am being perfectly rational, thank you very much. Also, while I agree with the points on ressources and debtors (not about information, you are mistaken there), you did not bring up these points initially and they were not the ones I adressed.

[clint0nify]

thanks for posting this i notice they cut part of this out on the official CNN youtube.

[theyalllied]

Isolationism and non internationalism are simply not the same thing.

[theropingeffect]

Elliot Spitzer used to pay money to get spanked. Now he gets spanked everyday on television for free.

[CRAPCANNONS]

Eliot Spitzer and Richard Quest should do a show every night where they talk about their meth binges and be forced to shag each other while being poked with cattle prods.

[Txsray]

This commentator is a total jerk.



[idgaff27]

[nonaCbarC]

It's either Dr. Paul or Congressman Paul, not Mr. Paul.

[dewerbylhserf]

Eliot Spitzer and a HO = CNN

[MegF142857]

“What you do speaks so loudly, I can’t hear what you are saying”.

Eliot Spitzer is just Client #9 to me.

Sorry Ron Paul... can't stand Spitzer, so can't stand to listen to this interview.

[reveilleforradicals]

Ron Paul speaking at NCSU on 3/28!

[crocuzz]

US and EU has frozen the assests of Gadhafi. In other words US/EU governments said "The money of Gdhafi will belong to us".

That was not enough.

Yesterday FT.COM distresed: "While many central banks hold their gold reserves in international vaults in London, New York or Switzerland, Libya’s US$ 6 bullions is in the country"

All MidEast, all Russia (exept Kremlin) against agression against Libiya.

So what extraodinary thing has Paul said that is not obvious to all international society?

[flythegadsden]

4:14 I love watching an anchor get clowned and then change the subject as quickly as possible

[flythegadsden]

@flythegadsden hmm 5:30 as well

[camelsonhorizon]

@flythegadsden exactly exactly exactly. holy plop.  the expressions on the anchor's face is at risk of truth as ron paul speaks truth.

[mmanouvelles]

The journalist of this day in age are obviously trained to change the subject, or "pivot" like this one said, when they loose an argument

[TheMasterofrevenge]

Excellent interview by Spitzer- would love to see him to an hour with ron to ferret out the weasels!

[DEADPATRIOT1]

Sent a video response,hope ya dig it?Most clips are from the movie FOR LIBERTY but still a great message for R.Paul supporters.PEACE...

[Moud25]

he speaks the truth..always

[Nicki820]

Much love Dr. Paul!!!

[slickbtk]

when the president starts a war with a country it is the same as if he made a ruling on a supreme court case or made a law, in other words he doesnt have that constitutional power. There are 3 branches of our federal gov and they each have their own powers and limitations. If a president decided to overturn roe v wade everyone would be up in arms rightfully claiming that he doesnt have the power to do that, but when he starts wars on his own no one seems to care. americans are dumb we deserve it

[Illimitus]

Spitzer didn't act like an asshole. Unusual.

[princez413]

How the HELL is this guy (Paul) Not our President?

[slickbtk]

@princez413 simple...americans are amazingly dumb and ignorant

[DEADPATRIOT1]

@princez413 Because he tells the TRUTH.

[TheEbonicslover]

@princez413 One Retarded Nation Under Surveillance

[PsychStudent85]

@princez413 Dr. Paul is not our President because, know hold on to your seat.........its a conspiracy! The Main Stream Media has marginalized him and told their veiwing audience that he is a "kook"!

/watch?v=KfRDTADOcBo

People fall into a GROUPTHINK mentality because they feel that the people on TV are always right. Most sheeple aren't Critical Thinkers and just follow the herd. They don't research Candidates and cross reference sources.

Watch "The Asch Experiment " here on YouTube.

[cjl85uk]

@PsychStudent85

ah! thats interesting - have heard of this before but long time ago. thumbs up for bringing this up!

thing that some forget - we are all human and there are plenty of people paid good money to understand how we work and to share the info with others who may have good or bad intentions...

[cjl85uk]

@princez413

maybe, when the SHTF - he will be... whether that is a good thing or not, time will tell.

Don't subscribe to 100% conspiracy theories all in one bag - but possible could be that this nice guy image is being built up and should/when the SHTF, he may be presented as the solution and who knows how he will use that position - or those using him and his reputation... two many sides to consider :( what do you think? sounds plausible? worth saying?

[2skullscrushing]

@princez413 HEAVY DUTY mass media censorship & brainwashing. And uh, probably a bad education system, fluorided water, mercury fillings, and preserved radiated food over fresh grown food. lol

[Rustyshackleford08]

princez413

Its because people both left and right are stupid, so we site here while the world is being destroyed by madmen that people deny are mad.

[universal1965]

@princez413 It will be a blessing for the rest of us, citizen from the rest of the globe.

[Tasadaru]

That is one thing about Ron Paul supporters, we kick arse when it comes to computers.

[newauraxx]

Spitzer is a punk.

[DrinkSkateSleep]

Wow I just saw this on TV, you guys upload quickly.
