  • What a retard, but at least he gave Paul air time to get his views out there.

    Love that elitists' first amendment right takes precedence over individuals' property rights. Ron Paul made a great point on the fact that rights are all equal and every citizen has them.

    According to Spitzer, I'm sure people were dying in the streets from using pot before his precious government saved the people from themselves.

  • douche

    

  • worst interview ever.

  • Spitzer is absolutely right.

  • @Jack102589

    Spitzer is just plain stupid

  • Spitzer seemed a little tense and wound up, I guess this interview was before his visit to a hooker!

  • I'm a liberal but what the hell was that. That interviewer needs to learn to shut the fuck up. This isn't about liberal vs conservative, it should be evident no matter what your bias that this person talks just like Bill O'Reilly.

  • God damn Spitzer is an asshole. Let him fucking finish.

  • @Vote4Taco

    He's the lefties version fo BillO

  • I can't believe that idiot Spitzer was my governor before I was wise enough to get the hell out of the bureaucratic cesspool that is the State of New York. He is exactly where he belongs on CNN, as a liberal-statist blowhard. Incidently...Ron Paul should've brought up the fact that he would agree that Spitzer's purchase of "Client 9" should be legal (or at least not made illegal) under federal law. Of course he also would have derided the man for spending state taxpayer money on the hooker.

  • WOW! Spitzer is "schizer"! As in 'Schizophrenic,' he won't let the good Doctor Paul finish the first, or third question, before he cuts him off and disrespectfully interjects his own twisted navigational prod. It does seem this "interview" is purely intended to fulfill sombody's agenda...Maybe Elliots $4000.00 a night 'escort' is getting bored down in the limo. What a complete waste of RON PAUL'S time. "That cocaine is a helluva drug"...

  • Wow. I just can't get enough of Dr. Paul. He has the most intellectually honest views on every subject. And on top of everything else, he has patience and grace in dealing the media and the bullies. RON PAUL 2012!

  • Mr. Spitzer was an absolutely horrible interviewer here.

  • @foxmuldr He wasn't being an interviewer there. He was trying to be a participant in a debate while fulfilling the roll of moderator, creating for himself a blatant conflict of interest that was so clearly exposed by phrases like "let's switch gears for a moment" whenever his argument started to crumble amidst the reason and honesty of the concept of liberty. When I see petty tyrants suggesting that they want to take away my liberty for the benefit of others, it fills me with disgust.

  • And this is why they canned Spitzer. He has a habit of screwing things. . . up.

  • Elliot Spitzer does a terrible job here. He never lets Dr Paul finish or hardly even start to answer the questions. I give his LISTENING SKILL a F. It makes the interview worthless.

  • @GeraldMangold Spitzer seems very clearly to also be on an agenda.

  • this guy interviews like bill o'reilly

  • Wow, Elliott Spitzer, way to change the subject...

  • @LuvIzAhl RON PAUL 2012 for REAL change because...

    He has never voted to raise taxes.

    He has never voted for an unbalanced budget.

    He has never voted for a federal restriction on gun ownership.

    He has never voted to raise congressional pay.

    He has never voted to increase the power of the execuctive branch.

    He voted against the Patriot Act.

    He voted against the Iraq War.

    He returns a portion of his annual congressional office budget to the U.S. Treasury every year.

  • too bad he had to pick up that prostitute, he's pretty smart

  • this guy is an asshole...when someone is talking, let them finsh, you ass.

  • Eliot Spitzer, needs to read the WHOLE constitution and learn what the words mean, not how he thinks they should mean. Dumbass, you asked a question and you didn't find it in the constitution, so whats you conclusion. OOps, I forget you too dam stupid! ROn Paul puts in proper perspective and Spitter doesn't understand! Ron Give you direct examples and you ingnore the obvious! What a dumbass!

  • why does that hypocrate clown spitzer even has a show??

  • General Welfare don't mean sending checks to people for not working.

    General Welfare means an overall situation conducive to freedom and prosperity for all. Like, building and maintaning public roads, or having and enforcing laws against unscrupulous business practices, or having a fair and equitable system of taxation, or restrictions against the military being used in law enforcement. Things that help everybody, without regard to race, creed, color, etc. , without restricting other's Liberty

  • Ron Paul PWND this mofo

  • Eliot listening to your voice is very stressful ! I would take a lesson from RON PAUL on how you carry your self ! VOTE FOR FREEDOM PEOPLE,RON PAUL .VOTE RON PAUL !!

  • It's always interesting that all these celebrity "interviewers" on national/cable tv networks actually spend more time talking to themselves than listening to the interviewees. This is hardly an interivew, it's borderline debate. This guy is constantly talking over Ron Paul every time.

  • @cloudbuster77 you're wacked

  • @RevolutionNewsDotUS2 cloudbuster77 is not whacked, but has been well educated by a system (the one in power in the U.S. today). The foundations of our nation, the arguments toward liberty and freedom debated and ultimately decided upon by our founders as they framed the system of checks and balances in the U.S. Constitution, these are lost on people who have been primarily educated by mainstream sources. It's literally a form of brain-washing due to repetition and agendas.

  • @cloudbuster77 I disagree, I think he is saying its not right to steal from one person to give to another in need. The problem with indiscriminate taking/taxing/stealing is that it puts middle class people into a state of scarcity themselves, so it makes them poor also. No one wants to share or take care of others because they are too busy trying to make enough money because the gov. takes it all. if we had enough, sharing wouldnt be an issue.

  • @cloudbuster77 Search for the video where obama said the american people might not get their social security despite paying into it, then talk.

  • @cloudbuster77 Thats a complete distortion of the possibility of returning power to the people to take care of society .I dont know what motivates people like you ?One Humanitarian is worth ten thousand billionaires !

  • @cloudbuster77 your a puppet, you go to your daddy (the government) when something bad happens and they won't help you. It's a delusional safety net. If you would rather have the idiot, the mormon, or the cheater enjoy no change!

  • Comment removed

  • @cloudbuster77 "taking from the poor to give to the elderly isn't "General Welfare", it's specific welfare" - "That's a little to metaphysical for me." wow, you are very simple... If you take from the 'general population,' and give to a 'few', that is hardly improving the 'general' population's 'welfare.' How is that hard to understand?  Taking from the many cannot improve those same many, but only the few you're giving it to (and of course the very few who do the taking.)

  • Comment removed

  • @cloudbuster77 Congress subsidized three transcontinental rail-roads: the Union Pacific, the Central Pacific, and later the Northern Pacific. The Union Pacific and the Central Pacific died only after eating up 44 million acres of free land and $61 million in cash loans. Large sections of the lines they did complete soon had to be rebuilt and sometimes even relocated due to shoddy construction. Robber barons indeed. and all bankrupt. Thanks for reminding us how poorly governments invest.

  • Comment removed

  • @jbt4673 Easy it is... You pick one of only a handful of government subsidies that wasn't a colossal failure, or horrendously expensive, and I acknowledge it as probably 'helpful.' Your idea however, seems to be that it wouldn't have happened without the subsidies? It is a broad stroke because it is in large part incredibly accurate, not because there is a single (or minute few) exceptions to the rule. How much did we invest in boeing? How much do we continue to invest?  What of returns?

  • @cloudbuster77 well spoken. the educational system has done it's job robbing you of any original or empirical thought. go back to sleep, the state will take care of you.

  • @cloudbuster77 too much fox for this guy

  • @cloudbuster77 i actually find your comment interesting... i may not fully agree. I really like ron paul's ideas and i dare say he's ideologically correct on nearly all of them. but i think i need to still ask some questions. the main one being... are we mature and responsible enough to make it work on his ideas?

  • @cloudbuster77 his point is, if the market is free and a lot of other backwards thinking and programs are cleared up, there is no reason on earth anyone shouldn't live in a comfortable means and be able to have their own home, healthcare, education, etc. but yes, with true freedom comes great responsibility. you don't always have big daddy there to hold your hand. if i wasn't paying taxes out the ass, i could afford to donate to good causes for people like you use in your example.

  • @cloudbuster77 lol how about to the time when you could afford your own medical coverage and if you got hurt your friends family and neighbors were actually able to help you out.

  • Ooh, that little smile of Ron's says it all. It's a grimace of utter contempt for the lowest form of political life named Eliot Spitzer.

  • Why is it that politicians never want to discuses amending the Constitution to get what they want? They (with a few exceptions) seem to always want to just right a new law and ignore the Constitution.

  • Spitzer's a douche. Dr. Paul owned his sorry ass.

  • Eliot Spitzer is miffed that Ron Paul's ideals will make his past work as a lawyer irrelevant, depriving him of a much needed ego boost.

  • Youtube this:

    "How To Vote For Ron Paul - Watch And Understand"

    Then pass it on to help others elect Dr. Paul POTUS.

  • Spitzer should have to pay Paul for the constitution tutoring he just received.

    Basically Spitzer is saying that "general welfare" allows huge state programs to exist in defiance of the 9th and 10th amendments

  • Eliot spitzer is a scum just like the average establishment candidate

  • @AtibbsSPARTAN Spitzer comes off as a vapid used car salesman, but that's too generous. He's a hypocritical, predatory ambitious politician, building his career on prosecuting johns who boned hookers like he did himself. So, scum!

  • Spitzer seems pretty intelligent. Sounded like a healthy debate to me, even though I agree with Paul's point in Spitzer's fallacious argument.

  • @TheSWTORMMO Spitzer is intelligent in the manner of a squirming weasel.

  • fucking nazis go shot up some more herion you drug addict retard fucks

  • @polabear001 What?

  • Ron Paul is amazing. I would take a bullet for him any day.

  • I love Ron Paul. I love the passion of the real grass roots movement for liberty beyond Ron Paul. Love the people putting out the clips for us all to enjoy. However, I have an issue as you make it difficult to share when you add all the rhetoric at the beginnings and ends. Just as nice clean clip so the message can spread, at least to your parents. ;?) If you want these videos to actually be shared and appreciated for their value then please stop adding to them. Thank you and thank you.

  • @bidworldlittleme you love ron paul but you hate free speech... are you an OXY MORON???

    I only post QUOTES on the beginning and ends of my videos... you got a problem with that then shove it, along with the constitution, right up your ass!

  • @RevolutionNewsDotUS2 Critique doesn't mean bidworldlittleme hates free speech. It means this clip of Ron Paul is effective but your presentation of it is not. If anyone is limiting free speech it is you with your aggressive tone towards constructive criticism.

  • @FTWization it's just one person's opinion... maybe 4 or 5 negative comments from ron paul supporters on ron paul quotes in my videos in 2 years of posting videos... the aggression comes from 3 years of aggression towards me for posting news.

  • @bidworldlittleme I agree with you, I hate intros. Annoying. Way to not get Liked or Favorited.

  • @Zapppo but you're okay with intros to news network programs, comedy shows, sporting events, etc?

  • @RevolutionNewsDotUS2

    No, I don't watch or like those either & have pop ups blocked on the internet.

    Stuff at the end of the videos are fine, I usually watch them, since I've already seen what I came to see, but psychologically, it is a negative bait & switch to put it in the beginning, just human psychology in action.

  • @Zapppo are you paranoid? bait and switch?

    they are simply quotes and images associated with the videos.

  • Typical shill, ask a question then talk over the answer. Rude Rude Rude.

    President Paul should treat these lapdogs as lapdogs.

  • spitzer needs to get a copy of it RP has it memorized

  • 9:26 was epic. Here is a translation into plain English:

    "Wait, wait, wait. I mentioned the constitution and really have no fucking idea what it says, so let me blame it on my glasses."

  • Spitzer..if you were to shut up and listen for 2 seconds you would learn something.

  • Spitzer is complete trash has no value to the political or moral discourse of this country......

    Ron Paul schools him

  • @2:05.. Ron Paul doesn't need to carry a pocket constitution; it's burned into his soul. It's terrifying that so many foreign people can see RP's brilliance, and yet he gets nothing like his due in the US.

    To be fair, this time around, he's looking quite strong, polling well now, winning straw polls, a national campaign machine second to none in the national republican party... I have my fingers crossed.

    If he is elected, I will fly to Washington for the inauguration.

  • This man keeps talking over Ron Paul and cutting him off in mid-sentence. I can't stand that. . . .

  • Glad this Tool is off the air. Ron Paul 2012

  • Elliot does not shut the fuck up!! He shouldnt be there to debate the person being interviewed. Let Dr. Paul talk and say his views. This is what Brain Williams and Wolf did in the 2011 debates. They dont LISTEN! there is more explanation than just two words that this fool lets Dr. Paul say. and then he cuts him off and says "lets move on to the next topic" guys a Dick!

  • Be careful of those who are experts in SOPHISTRY Ron!

  • Does Elliot think if he talks real fast it will make Dr. Paul look stupid? These assholes need to shut the hell up, and stop trying to interrupt him and make his views look ridiculous, when they are purely and utterly wrong in every aspect!

  • Elliot Sputterz

  • Eliot Spitzer is so sporadic..

  • Spitzer is a moron. You can't understand intent if you don't understand intent. He would serve himself well to read what the founding fathers wrote in regards to Constitutional authority and the purpose of "general welfare".

  • Spitzer blocked the Trial of 9/11, as opposed to doing the right thing. In the end they screwed him good, whereas he should have thrown in the towel when he had the chance...

  • @yugo69 I still hate the guy, and I dissagree. If you are liably legally by local courts to your neihbor then a higher federal court , to me is a waste of time only getting in the way, like the feds always do. If I am liable to pa repremands to my neighbor, and clean up his property that I polluted, then I have no obligation to do that.

  • Ron will never get voted in. He's asking every and every man woman and child to do their part to support a just society.

    Yeah right, NO ONE will vote for him. Too easy for a sleazy politician to promise freebies that we all have to end up paying for.

  • Splitzer is a moron!

  • This interview is great!

    I know that Eliot seems very rude...but...Eliot does ask some VERY good questions.

    Dr. Paul needs to address these questions (and in this ugly way) from the opposition. And, Ron Paul once again gives a detailed answer to these questions. He is, after all, running for President of the United States of America, so these questions should be foreseen.

    Ron Paul does very good...as usual.

    RON PAUL 2010. Restore America Now.

  • The most disgusting thing about cnn, fox et al., is the obvious NLP with their interviews; whenever they have a 'guest' on who is non MSM NWO AIPAC etc., they will ask an inflammatory question and then talk over the answer. Case in point with Elliot: Social security is non constitutional, why? Ron: .well.. Elliot: why why why? anyway, back to me and my next question. These shills talk more than they listen and in general talk OVER people like the good doctor...Okay okay please be quiet...

  • Spitzer STFU..........

    

  • this guy needs to shut up and listen fucking annoying

  • fucking guy defends the status Quo what a sell out

  • He had Paul when it came to how Pittsburgh got clean.

  • ironmantis25: Apparently CNN's not to smart either.

    Thanks!

  • That was interesting, but its the two sets of laws that have allowed corporations to sell the american wealth to the highest bidders! Its externalities people and corporations dont want to pay them!

  • the reporter is very smart

  • It's funny to watch Spitzer pretend that he doesn't understand Dr. Paul's logic. C'mon man, you know exactly what he's talking about and his logic is perfectly sound.

  • SHUT UP SPITZER!!

  • This CNN Host is nothing if not a pompous ass! FYI CNN, this jerk is why we will not watch your program, whenever he's on!!

  • @1LonePuma the cnn host is the former governor of new york. He was kicked out of office after a sex scandal. He went job hunting after that, and became a cnn host. Just some miscellaneous information.

  • Before you take Social Security from the people, give them back all the money they paid in first! I would much rather see Congress give up their pay before taking away the monies people have paid in...let's see how that would go over!

    Now is not the time to do away with S.S. or Medicare for that matter! This country cannot afford to ever run contrary to our Constitution, as some of these candidates suggest. It is not a document that ever needs updating or tampered with--period!!

  • This stuttering host is annoying while continuing to interrupt his guest Ron Paul. If he thinks he’s got a handle on speaking, he’d better take a second look…very unprofessional and obnoxious! Time to get another host!!

  • Why in the hell is the Jew Spitzer so upset at Ron Paul?

  • I can see why Spitzer's show was cancelled, guys' an idiot!!!

  • What a dumbass. According to liberals, the general welfare clause and the interstate commerce clause justify just about everything you can think of. That's wrong.

    "With respect to the two words 'general welfare,' I have always regarded them as qualified by the detail of powers connected with them. To take them in a literal and unlimited sense would be a metamorphosis of the Constitution into a character which there is a host of proofs was not contemplated by its creators."- James Madison

  • The Constitution is the epitome of the Federal government though...reasoning please?

  • spitzer is an idiot!

  • @motomto1 Spitzer is extremely intelligent.

  • Holy crap, I've never really listened to Spitzer talk, he's a real moron.

  • Spitzer is deep in the pocket of the elite zombie forces. Ron just owned him.

  • Spitzer did a good job of holding Rons feet to the fire. I think what I like Most about ron is that you know where his ideas come from so if you're going to discuss things you simply open up the constitution if you want to persuade him. the constitution isnt a rigid document and can be amended. If there's something in it that doesnt work at least you know a president Paul would respect the rule of law enough to amend the constitution instead of ignore it

  • LET HIM ANSWER ELIOT FUCKIN IDIOT..

  • Spitzer is a criminal, and CNN hiring him is an atrocity. I watched him tell an expert on Middle East politics one night (during the Egyptian revolution and the beginning of the Libyan war) that he was wrong on what he said. Spitzer called him an expert one moment, and then decried him flat wrong as soon as he said something Spitzer didnt want to hear. Here he's trying to tell Paul he's wrong about the Constitution, but can't be trouble to provide evidence FROM the Const so he puts it down!

  • LIARS AND CON LIKE SPITZER NEED TO TALK FAST TO MOVE ON TO THE NEXT POINT, LEST YOU BEGIN TO QUESTION THEM.

    THUNDER ON RON!

  • PRESIDENT RON PAUL

    SAY IT NOW..

    PRESIDENT RON PAUL

    SAY IT NOW..

    PRESIDENT RON PAUL

    SAY IT NOW..

  • Spit on Spitzer....POS.

  • Status Quo and Hypocrite Spitzer

  • intellectual sparring, yeah right Eliot Spitzer is an idiot. Yeah he probably thinks the EPA is so organized and does such a great job. We actually get more accomplished without them. I can't even believe that CNN gave him a job after the Prostitution scandal.

  • Hey Spitzer, maybe you should have spent less time with hookers and more time reading Madison and the federalist papers. Mkay pervert?

  • The most obvious evidence that Spitzer is disingenuous is he has spoken out at great length against the crimes of the bankers so he should be aligned with him.

  • when i listen to this interview

    i feel like Spitzer reads from the constitution as a one day old christian would the bible. In full support of his own bias without a clue to the facts presented.

  • Spitzer make way too big of a deal on Ron Paul's opinion of welfare. Ron Paul already stated he won't really touch welfare if he's elected, he'll let the people decide whether welfare should stay or not, the only thing he has the authority to do is to stop the wars. So talk more about stopping the wars, geez.

  • @DaveBlackism Spitzer lost his show. He signed off a few weeks ago.

  • spitzer does not shut up geeez!

  • DR. RON PAUL schooling the SHILL SPITZER (CLIENT #9) on the CONSTITUTION, I LOVE THE GOOD DOCTOR!

    END the FED!!!

    END the WARS!!!

    END the TRAITOROUS MEDIA!!!

    RON PAUL 2012!!!

  • @PsychStudent85

    Why vote for RON PAUL? Some say he's ANTI-AMERICAN!

    just look what he's against!

    Assassinating Americans, Illegal Searches, Drug War, Warrantless Wiretaps, Secret Rendition, Torture of Suspects & Whistleblowers, Gitmo, Indefinite Detention even after acquittal, using DU on Civilians & US Troops, Wall St Bailout, Increased Military, Signing Statements, Bypassing Congress, War Crimes, Net Kill Switch, Federal Reserve, IRS, DHS, CIA, NSA, DEA, TSA, GOP, KKK, etc

    —RN

  • @RevolutionNewsDotUS2 ANTI-AMERICAN ???? ARE YOU NUTS COME ON MAN READ ABOUT THIS GUY I VOTED FOR OBAMA ON 2008 AND IT WAS A BIG BIG MISTAKE

  • @RevolutionNewsDotUS2 IM SERIOUS EVERY AMERICAN SHOULD VOTE FOR THIS GUY

    IM CHANGING MY POLITICAL PARTY TO VOTE FOR HIM

  • entitlements decrease the general welfare...enough said. UNconstitutional

  • I feel like making this idiot spitz blood.

  • I feel like making this idiot spitz blood.

  • Spitzer: "the folks out there think I'm anything but status quo". The folks out where? Mars? What a tool

  • Wow did spitzer get owned! What is it with these people!

  • Wake Up Sheep! Freedom is RON PAUL *2012* Duh ! WINNING! Please Spread The Word TY

  • Ron is so beyond everyone else in his ability to address the issues

  • Wow! Spitzer is an idiot! X) HAAHAHAHAHHAHAH!!!

  • How did this asshole get a TV show?

  • @manbearpig5000000 The same way every asshole gets a tv show. get it.

  • God bless Ron Paul .... awesome guy.

  • I could hardly withstand the interviewer he's so afraid of beliefs that aren't his own.

  • Spitzer is worthless.

  • Spitzer looks like he needs another bump!

  • @TheSavageGospel

    Maybe a full 1g rock just for good measure, he is starting to twitch/stutter.

  • "Let's switch gears" what a wussy

  • This interview was a waste of time to watch. Not because of Dr. Paul (he's a good man, and a genuis). 8:03 sums it up: "Let me get a word in." Spitzer is doing nothing more than trying to set up Dr. Paul, trap him with an answer he was prepared for, and then try to counter it. When Dr. Paul was about to actually answer, Spitzer would say "let's change gears" or would stammer and interrupt. When it finally, I had to laugh when Spitzer called what they just did "intellectual sparring"!

  • It's so annoying to watch Spitzer. Each time Ron Paul starts to answer, we have to listen to Spitzer interrupt with his droning and stammering.

  • He is a retarded lawyer, he may have been a kinda okay prosecuter and i say that only because the fbi outted him, and you dont get outted for simple shizz. Wonder if he was poking too close to the hornets nest. Dont mess with the establishment as he's now sooo perfectly trained. Good puppy! But back that awesome hooker party! What a douche!

  • Eliot Spitzer needs a whore and a black hole to hide in!

  • Ron Paul for President 2012! Love that old man! His competition is not competition, their the people who program the ballots. Ron is the man, he deserves the presidency and we deserve him! Liberty is a Strong Message!

  • WHY WOULD ANY ONE BE ASTONISHED BY THE TRUTH? WHY IS ANY ONE ASTONISHED BY SOMETHING THAT THE MAN HAS BEEN SAYING FOR YEEEEAAAAAARRRRRRRSSSSSSSSSSSS­SS

    Dont think Americans, dont you fucking do it. You go off thinking about things and you may make things harder for the elite. Pay your taxes, sit down on this rod, and stfu.

  • Well done, Eliott. He did not have a chance...Well formed arguments without chance of rational dispute! BRILLIANT!!!

  • Expect a lot of this during interviews that Dr Paul gives to the MSM. The powers that be KNOW a black out of Dr Paul won't work this time. So Plan B is now in effect.... "make the man look crazy". It's going to take each & everyone of the people in the Liberty Movement to combat these attacks. I wish you all good luck.

  • Funny how someone who has no clue about the Constitution is "trying" to school Ron Paul about what he has defended his whole career. Spitzer is such a complete tool

  • What the hell is an exploratory committee? Is he running or not?

  • Spitzer doesn't really want to interview Ron Paul he just wants to hear himself talk. The fool asks a question then answers it for Ron Paul? Finally, Dr. Paul say's "let me get a word in"!
