  • The chuckle from Ron at the end is his way of saying checkmate, gotcha Benny boy

  • hmmmm what did Mr. Bernake think when he saw Ron Paul again ?

  • You can hear the gears turning when he's asked if money is gold 'Oh shit what angle is he trying, should I say yes because I think it holds everything together, or should I say no because technically it's not money'

  • Ah Ben, Ben, Ben, you evil greedy bastard.

  • Wow. Ron Paul really knew the right questions to ask at the end. All of the excuses Mr. Bernake tried to produce, did not hold a candle to facts and numbers. "gold is not money", and yet, the federal reserve hides it away "because it's tradition". Yeah fuking right. Ron Paul has balls. Ha ha. Good job old man.

  • OH RON PAUL OWNED BEN BERNANKE IN THIS SESSION!!!

  • If you want to do something about the FED, here's an idea, everyone visit the Fed's website and post questions such as "how about a tour of our building?". Find email address's and phone numbers to these buildings, call with the same type of questions and be relentless. Let everyone you know know about this.Pick a launch date and everybody just goes. If they get jammed up, oh well.

  • People don't really understand what this video is about, it means your bank notes doesn't have value, it means that in near future you don't get food or oil anymore with paper.

  • Ron Paul, Set point match. Nicely done. Asks about price of gold is told it's an asset with a appreciable value, then asks why banks hold it. Then gets told it's tradition. Banks hold gold because it is money and he's using that to show currency inflation. Of course Bernanke can't give him a straight answer.

  • The last few seconds of video is priceless - Paul asks "Why don't they (central banks) hold diamonds?" - Bernanke is just frozen in stupidity at that moment. Look at his face.

    And even better . . . Ron Paul just laughs at him! Brilliant!!!

  • lol. he had to make up something fast for such a direct question to his flaws

  • that mofo is playing dum!!!

  • LOL Bernanke... you should be charged for a treason

  • Bernanke, your a moron. Paper money is only worth anything because of the assets (gold) that backs it. Gold is real money!!!

  • RON PAUL FOR PRESIDENT :) 2012 ,THE YEAR AMERICA IS SAVED

  • are you fuckin serious? what the fuck is money if gold isnt?

    

  • Lol! Bernanke said the fed was created to stop uncertainty a century ago, then he said ppl hold gold, increasingly today because of... wait for it... uncertainty!

  • HEY!! @olddirtychrist Lol dude! That got me laughing really loud! Good job for pointing out that subtle contradiction! You DA BEST!!

  • haha, fucking stumped. Ron Paul is great

  • Listening to Ron Paul makes me feel so much smarter.

  • @MrCrim123 It's because he is an economic wizard. He got me reading into the Austrian school. They are brilliant.

  • This time next year, I want to be able to say Ron Paul is my president.

  • I laughed at the end, Ron Paul is a boss lol. You should seen Ben Bernake's face.

  • The definition of money is: current medium of exchange in the form of coins and banknotes; coins and banknotes collectively. CURRENT MEDIUM OF EXCHANGE. It is very difficult to exchange (make purchases) using gold due to the size of the increments. Try buying a gallon of gas when all you have is a gold coin that you know is worth $500. Ron Paul knows this but is trying to appeal to the right wing masses. So until we start using gold in everyday transactions it is only a precious metal.

  • @silentsillydude Thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you for showing me that in the middle of all this bullshit there are still at least a FEW intelligent people out there. Ben Bernanke completely destroys Ron Paul here but for some reason most people can't see past Ron Paul's massive, gaping holes in logic and nonsensical arguments. I am so close to leaving this godforsaken country.

  • @RitmoNegocisto FAIL! Bernanke says Gold is not money. hahahah 6K years of gold as money didn't work? LMAO! @ you

  • @RitmoNegocisto Haha you don't understand what a gold standard is do you.. It is still paper money, it is just actually worth something, rather than having the federal reserve magically create it out of thin air.

  • @silentsillydude Ron Paul advocates backing the dollar with gold, so that dollars by extension have some literal "intrinsic" value. However you use dollars, whether it be coins, paper money, online transactions, it wouldn't matter. The dollars you have would be backed by gold. Having a gold standard does not mean actually using gold in everyday transactions. It quite literally means your dollar can be exchanged for gold. We stopped this system in 1913 with the creation of the Fed.

  • I'm American and I'm voting for Ron Paul.

  • Comment removed

  • I'd like to see that 9% inflation Ron Paul is talking about. Because it's sounds like nonsense. Bernanke completely owns Ron Paul from 3:10 to 4:10.

  • @celer1ty2 And then Paul owns him at the end finishing like a BOSS.

  • 21 people need to pull their heads out of their asses and listen to some common sense.

  • Gold is not money? Have you even watch cartoons Bernanke, sh*t what a moron... How the hell do we have someone like him managing our money? I bet he's taking them too.

  • Ron Paul ownage like BOSS

    I took economics just to understand this and i have to say Paul is 100% and right and Bernanke is 100% retarded

  • Im from Finland and Ron Paul is every freedom lovers last chance, we have a presidental election now too but allmost all are pro-NWO and few dont even know abought it, and few just dont speak abought it, its fucking hopeless out here. so if Ron Paul dosent win its time to go cave man :(

  • "I am a most unhappy man. I have unwittingly ruined my country. A great industrial nation is controlled by its system of credit. Our system of credit is concentrated. The growth of the nation, therefore, and all our activities are in the hands of a few men. We have come to be one of the worst ruled, one of the most completely controlled and dominated Governments in the civilized world no longer a Government by free opinion, no longer a Government by conviction and the vote of the majority, but

  • If there is a god please, please, please let Ron Paul win Presidency, if not i lost hope in our country

  • gold isn't money....gtfo. this guy ...wow

  • @ramos235 Is the dollar money? Money should be worth something, pretty sure the dollar is just paper, sometimes just data..

  • I don't know if anyone has already watched these, but I learned a lot.

    It is a 3 part series which is long and "boring", but holy @#$% will you learn.

    Videos are linked here:

  • Can somebody translate Bernanke for me? I dont understand a lizard hissing.

  • lmao. I almost expected Benny boy to just knock something into the floor and take off running.

  • I'm from Canada and support ron paul. If he wins the elections i will move to the usa.

    If not I going to Africa...

  • @BlazeKing416 Another Canadian right here . I wish we had someone like Ron Paul here in Canada . I think the farthest we've gotten to someone like Ron Paul in terms of actually giving a damn was Jack Layton . Too bad he died though . :/ . Now we're stuck with an idiot like Stephen Harper who's only making things worse and worse .

  • @BlazeKing416 Prolly one of the reasons why I dont vote .

  • @BlazeKing416 And here I was going to move to Canada if he lost...

  • lol What a champion! Ben is such a stupid moron.

  • ron paul essential took a man and made him very small

  • They should make an ad about that last piece since no one watches CSPAN enough to see things like that.

  • Get rid of the Federal Reserve. It is a SCAM. People if you do not vote for RON PAUL it is your own damn fault why this country will fall like the rest of the great empires.

  • i loled at bernanke in this vid, hes a fuckin dumbass

  • Once you viewed a Ron Paul ad, you'd be so spoiled that the other candidates ads just won't cut it. I mean, THIS IS UNBELIEVABLE. The only candidate with COMMON SENSE!!!

  • 5:22 oh snap... i really don't know anything about what I'm talking about. ಠ_ಠ

  • does ron paul really think gold is money? I want to see him walk into any store and try to pay with gold bullion and see what happens. I think hed figure out very quickly that gold isnt money.

  • @frozenflame5858 its been used as money since the dawn of civilisation, only since 1971 have we had a totally fiat paper money. that is the current system, but what he's saying is that in the long run, gold has always been money. its always been a safe valuable mode of exchange because you cant print gold

  • It's a tradition for the JEWS to hold JEWerly. As soon as the diamond isn't brute, it has no more value. They keep and hold the brute diamonds. That's why they made their genocides in Africa.

  • @ThiefLeet

    a true Paulistinian, jew jew jew

  • he choked up hahahha

  • Of course, Ron Paul could always go to the local grocery store and try to pay for his groceries in gold or diamonds. If they were accepted or not would more or less answer his question.

  • @gedhession that just shows where our country is at, any smart grocery store would take your gold because one ounce of gold is worth over $1000

  • @gedhession As the store's clerk, i would accept the payment of gold or diamonds and pocket it and pay the actual amount owed out of my own pocket and save the gold or diamonds for the economic collapse thats around the corner.

  • Paper money is an IOU, a contract, a promise of a return of "money" or "value for exchange".

    If the confidence in it drops (i.e. loss of confidence in the legitimacy/promise of the contract), you get a problem. It must be backed by something that is of value, something whose value is a constant - Gold.

  • I'm a guy from central Europe I"m WITH RON PAUL ! I worry for the people of America and their lost liberties ! I want to help even if it's just pushing a LIKE button and spreading the word about the USA government politics, corrupt psychopath bankers and THE FREEDOM , CONSTITUTION that DR PAUL stands for. AS he said " I'm a champion of the constitution"

    youtube.com/watch?v=BvemsAQUyl­g&feature=share It's kinda frustrating I can't vote, But I would VOTE RON PAUL !

  • @DexVil i'm from australia and i feel the same way, RON PAUL FOR PREZ

  • @DexVil maybe you cant vote for our president, but you sure can back him. Hit that like button, hit that share button, write articles, and spread the word however you can. If Ron Paul doesnt become president, America is gone and with it much of economic freedom around the world. Its now or never and theres only months left to determin the political realm of America and the world for quite possibly over a hundred years. Push now and push hard people, there is no second chance.

  • @uzack3 You know it. Thanks for replying, encouraging, motivating to do so.

  • Fan-bloody-tastic!!!

  • well its tradition...BERNANKE GET TURNED ON

  • @wholewheatandgrains Don't take God's name in vain... Ben Bernanke is a criminal and an idiot.

  • @emaleroland God damnit why not?

  • @HybridD91 God's last name is not damnit. Too bad you're a ding dong. You're one of the few people that knows how to properly spell damnit.

  • @wholewheatandgrains and you are......

  • Ron Paul = The only good thing to come out of Texas except for Austin.

  • @133411678230 he was born and raised in Pennsylvania.

  • lol at the girl laughing at ben.

  • I lol'd when Bernanke said no. The crisis will generate a huge income for people smart enough to invest in gold.

  • lol, when ron paul ask the question is gold money?, everyone in the room turn the heads to find out the other guys answer was...lol.

  • Wow

  • Screw that guy in the back row who smirked and touched his nose when Paul took the floor.

  • Gold is precious and hard to find. It only has few practical uses. Money can really be anything you base it on, but personally I will take gold coins as a form of payment.

  • All I got out of this was Bernamke's blank face, thinking "wow, this dude's a moron". I don't see what points Ron Paul was trying to make, and Bernanke's answers were pretty legitimate.

  • @mister9a He wasn't even able to answer the second question... how is that legitimate?

  • @StateOfChaos which question are you talking about? I see bernanke answering, or at least addressing, all the questions up until the very end of the video. (to be honest I'm not sure what you're considering Paul's "second question" to be).

  • @mister9a Ron Paul listed statistics that should be very alarming to you as an American, all Bernanke did was skew those statistics using some fancy wording. I'm sorry, but if you have to dance around the wording of your policies like that, then they are probably not good policies. Ron Paul WAS making a point if you actually to what he was saying, which is essentially that all this spending is NOT helping us as much as FED supporters like us to think.

  • @mister9a Bernanke choked. He was completely lost in thought. The point Ron Paul was trying to make was that because of Bernanke, sound money no longer exists in the economy, and by asking him that question, he basically showed that Bernanke does not care for the gold currency and is putting too much faith into the dollar itself. I hope you know that the dollar is nothing without gold to support it?

  • Owned!

    Ron Paul 2012!

  • You can slowly hear Ben Bernanke's argument wined down to complete bullshit at the end of this clip. Classic!

  • That sure is an expensive tradition there, Ben.

  • Look at the girl on the left of the screen behind Bernanke as she expresses a laughing smile when the gold question is being asked.

  • Ron Paul ask JewBoy - "Do you think gold is money"?

    JewBoy Bernake - "No...pause, I think it's an asset".

    Why not diamonds? Huh.. Tradition...

    Ron Paul can sure cut to the bullshit.

  • Notice that Bernanke said that Federal Reserve notes were not money, and since he also said gold was not money...I wonder what he considers to be money?

  • @3Gallagher What all these Zionist Jews consider as real money is to have the rest of the human race enslaved.

    “Goyim (gentiles) were born only to serve us. Without that, they have no place in the world; only to serve the People of Israel"

    - Israeli Sephardic leader Rabbi Ovadia Yosef in his weekly Saturday night sermon.

  • I bet Ben hates Ron. Sweet.

  • We need to take this country back. Evil people are all throughout our gov't. Our gov't is set up just like our courts: too complicated for the average person to understand. Our financial system is a joke. Fuck what our country has become. Fuck being a slave. I support RP

  • @4stomper They are the Jew Masters. Go to JewishFaces . c o m

  • @4stomper The evil comes from the power to print fiat money. This is possible through paper. It wouldn't be possible with gold. An actual gold currency would strangle the power of the elite and finally stabilize the economy.

  • 5.1 trillion / 312 839 000 = 16 302.3152

    what would you do with that much monies? You'd get more if we distributed it to the 18+ or even to tax payers.

    gasp

  • The central banks hold gold out of tradition, and because we used to be a gold standard. The Federal Reserve kept the gold after the closing of the gold window in 1971 because it is not at all obvious what we should do with it. Gold in no more money than chewing gum or any other commodity. Commodity backed money has lots of problems associated with it. Study the 19th century, and you see that Ron Paul's proposals are dangerous.

  • $17,000, man I could have bought a car and a computer.

  • I would love to see Ron Paul debate Barack Obama on economic policy.

  • @FlyFSXWithMe Obama would get to destroyed, he would never agree.. hopefully they get forced to when he gets the nomination and doesn't end up assassinated... because he would fuck over the rich 1% and they would not be cool with that.. JFK? he wanted to abolish the Federal Reserve and stay out of Vietnam, and for the record, The Federal Reserve is a PRIVATE group of Banks, and they print money out of thin air and attach more debt to it then what it is worth, CORRUPT system 100%

  • If it were an actual debate and not a battle of soundbites, Obama would destroy Ron Paul, and (regrettably) the entire right wing of the economic debate. Ron Paul's inflation-phobia has an intuitive appeal. A person can recognize that if the value of *his* savings were to increase by 15% tomorrow (deflation), he could go out and buy a lot more, and that if the value of his savings were to decrease by 15% tomorrow (inflation), he would be far worse off...

  • And therefore, govt. and fed policies that cause inflation are bad, while deflationary policies are good. But this is classic stage-1 thinking. The question of "what happens if my savings go up in value" is not the same as "what happens to the economy as a whole if the dollar goes up by 15% in value," the answers are very different. The first has a very positive answer, but the second has a very dim answer. Real wages would increase and, necessarily, so would unemployment...

  • ...not only that, but the unemployment would decrease demand, thus reducing overall prices, thus raising real wages, thus raising unemployment, and it goes down a vicious spiral which is even further aggravated by the inflating of the value of debts owed by individuals and businesses.

  • @migkillertwo Right, because we all know the Federal Reserve should not be abolished right? letting them print money out of thin air, further devaluing all of our currency is such a GREAT idea. Oh and lets not forget that Obama kept the Patriot Act when he said he would get rid of it, and that is easily the most unconstitutional thing to ever exist. A single word and they can take ANYONES rights away? that is not good. You could be branded a terrorist and lose all your rights

  • currency devaluation is an absolute necessity when an economy is under strong deflationary pressure, as ours was in 2008 and 1929. Had we not bailed out the banks and let several of them fail, we would have had depression-levels of unemployment.

  • @FlyFSXWithMe OBAMA WOULD NEED A GIANT TELEPROMPTER TO HELP HIM..

  • @FlyFSXWithMe

    Obama would just smile and nod and Ron Paul would just sit back winning.

  • @FlyFSXWithMe Obama would honestly have no idea. I would actually pay money to see Paul v. Obama or Gingrich v. Obama. Reasons being based off history intelligence. Furthermore, I DO NOT WANT Gingrich as nominee I want Paul. I am simply saying that Gingrich is only where he is because he knowes his history and people listen to him just like Paul knowes his history. Obama would be wiped out in this area. Completely wiped...

  • @FlyFSXWithMe The whore media would not allow Obama to take that kind of a public spanking

  • I knew RP was good but that was really good and entertaining... BB... "tradition" ... yeah... traditionally stealing a lot of money right from under our noses! and its not just in USA, its virtually every country that has a central bank... hope this RP guys doesn't get shot... and wins the election...

  • @XenoType008 so true, so true.... sad but true...

  • Let's make Adjustable Mortgage rates illegal.

  • Lmao at the beggining Ben was just sittin there lookin all scared thinking "Oh shit Ron Pauls about to make an ass out of me again" LOL

  • It's tradition!!! lmao

  • He's the only man with any sense among the GOP in America. If only he were given this amount of time to speak during those debates, people would be able to hear him above the rest of the madding crowd up there -- for Britain's sake, I hope Dr Paul reigns this one in.

  • epic win ron paul !

  • Bernanke is a pussy.

  • @DippinSubie No Bernanke is a traitor and a corporate whore.

  • I really wonder what would happen if people would just pin a note on the ballot that says "I vote for Ron Paul". Even if it doesn't count, they see that changes take place in people's minds.

  • bernacke voice shakes whenever ron paul speaks!!!! because he has to lie through his teeth.

  • "why dont they hold diamonds?" That was priceless. The ben bernank gettting powned!

  • put this man in power

  • Fuck Ron Paul. Gingrich 2012!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • @DwightSchrude Yes!!! More wars more death more poverty. Gingrich 2012 yeah buddy!!!!!

  • @DwightSchrude WHY DON'T YOU SCREAM ANTI SEMI FOR THE JEWS YOU HAVE NOTHING ELSE !!

  • @DwightSchrude More people should be listening to Ron Paul.People are resonating to his philosophy its not a political stance

    Continue looking at Ron Paul vs FED Reserve and you will find the truth that the main street media will not address .....Paul last night got a standing A standing ovation on Jay Leno..Newt couldn't reserve a booth at the waffle house

  • This is just Ron paul political propaganda.

  • @RJWooller How do you figure is propaganda when its truth before your eyes

    Ron Paul is the chairman of foreign and domestic monetary policy

    He knows all about the doings of the Fed Reserve..You Sir, know shit about Ron Paul or anything else for that matter !!

  • Look @ the look on Ben Bernanke's fucking face! He doesn't give a shit about US( not U.S., "us") or the topic @ hand!!

  • @Jaseeka1986 hes keeping a straight face cause he doesnt want to look submissive and he is on topic

  • @DwightSchrude Did I say he wasn't ON topic? No. I said he doesn't give a shit about IT or US..

  • I would like to see Ben Bernanke play monopoly.
