  • Well done Rand! Wisdom is the key tool any man can have, I believe that folk are so numb to the world that they are conditioned to hurt so much more until they react to these issues. Your father is right, foreign policy is to blame, if you throw stone at the guy down the roads house everyday sooner or later he's gonna hit back! Folk in the middle east are dieing for democracy whilst the US is killing it! IRONIC

  • This guy is amazing. Very clear explanation of the problems in the Patriot Act.

  • close the borders

  • so the impact to this is that is someone terrible may be elected one day that will abuse the power...sounds believable

  • @aRemixxx The reality is that that's been there all along

  • why do you care if the gov looks at you bills...

  • The Patriot act even covers purchases/abuse of prescription drugs. I noticed this when going to a Target store to buy a small prescription. There is a penalty under the Patriot Act for abusing or illegaly obtaining prescription drugs.

    How does government preventing people from OD'ing or selling Valium stop terrorists?

    This is already covered under other laws.

  • I like how this was covered in mass media so people where aware. Oh wait it Wasn't. Now four more years of soviet russia. God damnit just give this god forsaken country back to the brits. I'm sick of all this bullshit. Politicians like Paul a rarity and not the majority.

  • Does Rand have anyone on his staff with the nerve to tell him to straighten up his tie? He never does...

  • @dav8d777 hahaha!! thats true! i have noticed that! so far from what i know about him, thats his greatest downfall.

  • I like Rand and Ron Paul, but this speech is almost a day late and a dollar short, due to Echelon and various data mining systems(as well as working in IT myself) most people whether "awaken," or not, don't see how well systems and networking databases store information extensively, big brother is all encompassing, and we need to show through actual photos/banners of war, dead civilians, destruction, real imagery will show people the reality of the military industrial complex

  • anyone wanting to read the patriot act with out the gov downloading programs on THERE!! p.c..e-mail me at fatmusicbooster a g-m-a-i-l.c

  • WE"THE PEOPLE ARE F*^*KED. and Noone cares.

    Know I'm really pissed -off. I went to a government website to look up the patriot act. being I know somewhat of p.c. i found out they have installed a program in to my kernel and i can't delete it.

  • so Just so the people of America Know what is in the doc with out exposing there p.c. . I have decided to post it in a zipped form.for everyone. I have uploaded it to a file sharing host all you need to do is fallow the link and get reading all 9000 pages

  • You're not convinced he hates this act? How about you look at someone's content rather than their 'emotion'. You people probably voted in Obama because of his stupid line 'change'.

  • @MaxMetal1993 i think i love you!

  • @MaxMetal1993

    No, I didn't for ovomit, but thanks for assuming.

    I am sure I don't love you!

  • Rand Paul why don't you show a little more emotion? Somehow you are not convincing me that you are upset..

  • @organichik he should give wiener a call for advice on how to be emotional!

  • @organichik he said like hell my visa isnt privat! thats not emotianal??? also the whole emotion thing is an act anyway he is trying to make himself look professional, also...... you cant be too emotional or certain ppl arent gonna buy it.

  • @stonerst3ve His father, before the imbeciles voted the first time, showed how utterly disgusted he was by this whole damn farce. It is for US, not TERRORIST. IT IS FOR CONDITIONING PURPOSES ONLY. LET'S BE HONEST.

    We have to make better choices for people going to DC.

    He is trying to apply logic where there are no LOGICAL PEOPLE in attendance. DEAF EARS ARE HEARING THIS. PEOPLE LIKE. "We have to pass the bill to know what's in the bill". Sound familiar?

  • I DON'T REMEMBER ANYONE ASKING ME IF I WANTED TO GIVE UP MY FREEDOMS SENATOR - FTERMATH OF 2001 BUSH jr TOOK THEM-STOLE THEM-BY NOT INFORMING US.

    NO SIR I DIDN'T OFFER TO GIVE UP ANY OF MY RIGHTS FOR FAKE TERROR ATTACK...

  • ALL the things he mentioned HAS ALREADY BEEN HAPPENING - it is NOT in the "future" - IT'S HERE NOW ! We have NO rights or privacy now and haven't had for a long time.

    This is already a Dictatorship - it's it not "becoming one" - IT IS ONE NOW !

    And every part of the so-called "Patriot Act" IS UN-CONSTITUTIONAL - thus ILLEGAL ! Anyone who votes for it is a Traitor of America !

  • Americans 93 % none union and our 7% union work force we must all unite for liveable wages and healthcare. Don’t be spellbound by the talking media heads of the unscrupulous companies and Gov officials who indirectly work for them. And are trying to put a wedge between us None of them are hurting are they. Support only fair trade! And USA products. Lets fill our coffers again. With taxes made by product's made here. Go on line to-- American Made--- Tell stores to support American Made.

  • Well done! This should be required viewing for every Citizen (before they become a Subject).

  • @apatriotofusa Way to gop!!!!!!

  • No question about it. The TSA is an intergral part of the left's plan to completely destroy ourm Constittuion. Between the record searches, phone searches and perverted airport searches the TSA is working hard to dehumanize Americans. There are many better ways to stop terrorists but it is beco0mming more obvious that is not their objective. The TSA perverts will soon be at the door of the shopping malls groping and fondeling small children and women, and old people while real terrorists laugh.

  • Democracy has failed in this country. Tyranny is imposed on others by majority consent.

  • Blah, blah, blah... brass check!

  • Good reasoning, I guess that pretty well means that it will go nowhere with the dumb asses in charge.

  • Amazing. RON PAUL 2012!!

  • "Talkin' loud, doing NOTHING!" Thats what's wrong! Political gridlock is how they overcome the Constitution;) Aided by law loopholes. Orwell Nailed it... "Animal Farm."

  • and they still passed it DISGUSTING!!!

  • Keep them there Rand. Make them squirm.

  • Pathetic. The whole of congress and the senate are so fucking clueless they need the Paul's to school them!

  • Any one that supports the Patriot Act is a Coward and deserves neither Security or Liberties in my opinion, The Fact is the Government has not made any one person safer by instituting that Farce of Legislation!

  • Fantastic!

  • That despot is here...He lives at 1600 Pennsylvania Ave...

  • This family gives me optimism for the future. I would die for these people. Not the likes of Obama or The Bush family, but for a (potential) President like Ron Paul. I cant even explain the Difference between Congressman Paul and any possible or current President of the last 40 years. It is something you have to experience for yourself.

  • Great video! Rand Paul is awesome and completely right, just like his father. End the Patriot Act!

    Ron Paul for President 2012!

  • Then what wait till He becomes controlled just like Obama. Forget i! A Resistance is the only way to fight against those trying to destroy this country.

  • Rand Paul....instead of chip off the old block......bolder off the mountain

  • Holy shit this is good. Loving the Paul's right now.

  • Perfectly explained, even 3 year old can understand that. I am not sure about US senators though :)

  • Beautiful example of practically applied classical liberalism. The original intent of the government set up in America was anything BUT deciding "right and wrong" and acting on it. It was to protect the RIGHTS and LIBERTIES of the individual against the state (society). I have very high expectations for the Paul dynasty.

  • just like his daddy...ron paul 2012

  • Ron Paul/Rand Paul 2012!

  • I don't like this guy or his politics, but agree with every single thing he said here.

    Thank you, Senator Paul, for speaking for the average American citizen!

  • @1zdrew You can't agree with his politics if you don't understand his politics

  • @mizzoulibertarian That makes no sense, I understand his politics, which is why I don't agree with it. But thanks anyways

  • If you're looking for a needle in a haystack the last thing you need is more hay. We need quality data to find terrorists not just more data. The Patriot Act is an asinine piece of legislation. It should never have been enacted. We must get rid of it immediately in the interest of freedom and our national security.

  • @ahoblit

    The P. Act was not written for the "terrorist", in fact it has never been applied to them, only to citizens .

    So for WHOM was it written  in 1996 by people that said they needed a new Pearl Harbor to get it to pass... I 'll let you try disprove that . PEACE :)

  • @unsheepled I'm in agreement with getting rid of the Patriot Act. I know why it was written and I know it was written in 96' as you said. Its antithetical of our Bill of Rights. It's a direct attack on our individual freedoms. It's a direct attack on our nation and a detriment to our national security and the general welfare of American citizens. The people that voted for the Patriot Act and continue to extend it are treasonous. They are working to undermine our freedoms and hurt our nation.

  • @mjuslen did I say No republicans support it? I have two senators from my state that are republicans and both the idiots voted to reinstate it. The problem is these control bills are sold to these morons because there too stupid to see through the real purpose of them.

  • Whats with the board? Get a screen

  • Rand Paul telling it like it is, CALL YOU CONGRESSMAN TODAY !

  • what happens when the day comes that we are thought to be terrorist because we support Ron Paul? ....oh yeah, that day has already come...

  • person, place, AND THINGS!!!, Warrants, for White People, must describe what THINGS the Sheriff is for looking! But we federal citizens are lucky we get the first two, I mean, wait, we don't, haha, fuckin A, its the Bill of Rights as far as people like this guy and all his friends see fit for you! It's a bill of privledges, a bill of red tape for the bitches that want to kill you. Damn it's looking good to be White.

  • 50 years ago, most of the Senators would have had parallel arguments. Today its a sign of the times that we only have one

  • Thanks Rand...Unfortunately nobody in that room gives a damn about the American People!!!...Keep bothering the establishment!!! I love it!!!!

  • I agree completely except the statement made at 9:19 where he says, "you're no threat to our country" when referring to his colleagues in the senate. I think about 98% of them are a threat to our country.

    I wonder if this comment will be tracked by the FBI?

  • Rand Paul and I disagree on a lot of things, but on the PATRIOT Act, we agree that it shows a complete disregard for the U.S. Constitution, and needs to be repealed in full.

  • Rand Paul for president!!!!

  • The Patriot Act is being put on steroids with hardly a peep of protest. The "Defense Authorization Act" now before Congress would give presidents virtually limitless power to single-handedly make wars or imprison people. This is the biggest formal transfer of power in the US government since the drafting of its Constitution. This undoes the American War for Independence.

    Anyone who votes to extend the Patriot Act should expect to pack their bags in 2012.

  • @HolisticGreen "Anyone who votes to extend the Patriot Act should expect to pack their bags in 2012"

    Agreed!

  • @HolisticGreen Fricken right!

  • Why aren't other senators talking like this? Why aren't other senators sticking their neck out to protect the constitution like they have pledged?

  • The newest, and already the best, senator in the country. What a magnificent defense of our civil liberties!

  • Rand Paul is a good Patriot. I hope his Dad becomes President.

  • A man who tell's it like it is.

    I just pray he isn't 'suicided'.

  • the best senator in the country

  • Patriots always talk of dying for their country but never of killing for their country. - Bertrand Russell

  • The Patriot Act is an agregious attack on the 4th amendment and should've been deemed unconstitutional. Thank you Senator Paul for standing up for liberty.

  • The 2 idiots who disliked this speech are the same people who will turn you in to the Gestapo so that THEY may live longer as a SLAVE. ....selfish, freedom hating turdbags!

  • Two retards gave this a thumbs down, you two DemoRetards need not be on these video's when you love zero freedoms. Ron Paul 2012

  • @Kavenger11 Don't be so ignorant, many of the people that support the Patriot Act are REPUBLICANS. Stop being a political hack and open your eyes to true liberty.

  • Not Much outrage from the so Called "Patriot" groups.......just sickening......get ready for some media distraction tactics, when this goes to a final vote. (((SPREAD THE WORD PATRIOTS )))

  • Much Love and Respect to the Paul Family.

  • Preach that shit brother! To bad the only people who are listening are the American People, because Congress could give shit. Our Government doesn't give a Rats Ass about the American People and it hasn't for a very long time. Honestly? Had our Government done what Carter told them to do in 1978, produce our own oil. Would we have fought any of the wars we've been in? They need the ability to shut anyone up, The Patriot Act = Control all Patriots, track all Patriots, fear all Patriots.

  • In my opinion, the moment the Patriot Act was signed into law was the moment the terrorists won. 

  • @BlueRonin44 haha right, if they supposedly hate us for our freedoms then they sure are winning when we become oppressed like this.

  • @BlueRonin44 The "terrorists" won in 1867 when the Army was used to overthrow the lawful republican governments of the States(all of them) to violently enforce the criminally extorted "passage" of the 14th Amendment.

  • @BlueRonin44 Except that the terrorists were merely patsies in a dastardly scheme to declare war on all Islamic nations. Don't get me wrong, there are certainly terrorists out there, but the threat of what most Americans talk about when they say "terrorism" is almost completely fabricated.

    If you wish to learn the truth about all of this, watch the following video & the series:

    watch?v=Osp1873RdPg

    It may be extremely difficult to swallow for some, but it is nonetheless the truth of the matter.

  • @imanoutkast And check out Susan Lindauer: watch?v=G43zl4fzDQg

  • such BULLSHIT. The 'terrorists'??? The ones the fucking government PAYS MONEY TO??? The ones they help get recruits for in Iraq and Iran?? for decades and decades since THE US STARTED AL QAEDA. Like Bush Sr. taking his friends the Arab leaders on boat trips, to movies to baseball games...Like Bush Jr. and the Bin Laden family BEING FRIENDS!!!!! These stupid speeches and promises and ideas on 'how to fix our world' is getting TO BE INSULTING!!!

  • Excellent

  • Please contact your senators and congressman and ask them if Rand Paul is correct in his assessment of the Patriot Act? If he is, we have a problem. It's time the American Citizens finally step up and stop allowing these idiots in DC from passing laws that take away our right and privileges. I would rather have Freedom and Liberty than "Safety".

  • This is why Rand Paul has been elected and will continue to be elected.

  • Why does the media demonize Rand Paul? Because HE'S RIGHT!!!!!

  • @5452347 Because the media is full of socialist apes that always tow the establishment line. They are the enemy.

  • His daddy taught him well.

  • Federal Govt. probably reading these comments to see who to persecute, ha

  • Thank you Rand Paul!

  • they voted 78-4 to stall it so they can debate on the floor thing about it people 78 senators voting to stall the signing i think congress is fighting back just think about it the fact 78 senators agreeing on something.

  • Sen. Paul showing his Libertarian Credentials on this issue, not just Fiscal Policy.

  • I would like to thank Sen Paul for speaking truth. Am sending this every where.

  • Great speech Rand. Racheal Maddow should be very proud of you!

  • The person who disliked this can go fuck themselves

  • @flierl360 Hahaha! Funny stuff.

  • (The System) has Been Raped By Bastards...and it has been broken.

    But broken things can be fixed... parts replaced, dry spots oiled, rusty spots ground off...and polished to a good finish.

  • As far as a Work union...Real Union Bargaining Rights...are Done With representation of That Particular UNION--->> With Private CEOS-->>

    Not Politicians and Governments...

    That is no fucking Union At All...

    Like a teachers union...(paid by Taxpayers)....(NOT a CEO) of A Private Business/ or Corporation.

    I'm all for Trade Unions...Not Welfare Unions.

  • THE PATRIOT ACT DIVIDES PEOPLE- Does nothing to Unite!! (USA)

    Like God damn Cattle going through The Slaughter house...

    Question? IS your life no more important than a fucking Cow?

    Believe it or not It Is! Much more valuable...

    The only problem is when people do the Same thing as Cattle...They get treated like Fucking Cattle...

    Ever herd of a Stampede?

    But The Cattle are divided individually online now and invisible to each other...

    UNION? WHAT UNION??? WE ARE Reviving The UNION

  • Comment removed

  • When the government cannot do something as basic as protecting my 4th amendment rights...why would I trust them to do anything else?

  • Brilliant!

  • Provide proof that Right To Work Laws give you the right to work for less. What a boon to corporatocracy. Race to the bottom as far as working conditions and wages go. Unions are not the enemy...who has all the money... the employers do!! Who makes the rules...the employers do. Who has the right to hire and fire...the employers do. The golden rule "He who has the gold makes the rules". Enjoy the weekend courtesty of the Union Movement.

  • @mranthonyjhilder Dude Rand Paul is not Against Unions...What union are you in?

    Today unions is Just the Government Squeezing the little guy...

    You wanna fight the man? Fight a corporation! Not Tax paying family's.

    If you really wanted to Fight with a union. You should join the tea party.

    We believe The Fed Is Manipulating what Was Once an INDEPENDENT UNION...

    Unions once fought private businesses...Today they are fighting Tax payers!!!

    - Real unions...that work for a private company.

  • Yeah, Again Taxes are Dues to a Union...We believe in Not PAYING DUES (Taxes) With out Representation...

    No Union Representation for the people of the UNITED STATES---> NO DUES...

    WE ARE THE UNION! Who are you

    We Want Representation For our Union (Dues) Taxes OR Eliminate Them for Corrupt Representation...WE ARE NOT GETTING WHAT WE DESERVE!!!

    WE ARE THE UNION! Who are you?

  • @mranthonyjhilder I am not against Unions...Real Working Unions... Government IS Using Money as If they Were A Private Business...

    The GOVERNMENT Is Not a Private Business.

    They Are The Public SECTOR...THEY HAVE NO RIGHT TO Act As A Private Business.

    Nor Does a New Union have a right to form within AN EXISTING Union.

    If Anything a federal job is suppose to budget what it can afford...

    The feds job is to Budget...

    Public jobs are necessary, But not New middle men that mess with taxpayers.

  • Comment removed

  • Trade unions are fair and adhere to the open market. The employer can always refuse to sign the contract and hire non union for less. Trade unions have higher skill levels and are worth more. Employers would love to defang construction unions and beat back wages and benefits to control working conditions. Corporations are dictatorial they hate dealing with unions that try and get good conditions and fair treament...not on the plan of rapacious capitalism. Rand Paul is wrong on right to work

  • Comment removed

  • And Allan West & Michelle Bachman voted for the reinstatement.

  • This needs to go viral.

  • I used to think Rand Paul had no balls and wasn't anywhere near his father, but this has changed my mind. Rock on.

  • Sen Rand Paul for President 2020

  • The police kill more Americans looking for terrorists than the terrorists do themselves.

  • The Big problem with Rand Paul is that he wants "Right to Work" laws to be passed all over the country. "Right To WorK" is a misleading phrase which really means ANTI UNION. This gives the Employers the upper hand when dealing with labor. It drives down wages, it give them more dictatorial power over us....Wrong!!!! Rand you are Wrong!!

  • @rcoones102 Please provide proof that right to work bills do what you say they do

  • @rcoones102 I agree with you, but there is a flip side to unions that actually allows them to attain dictatorial powers: to tell employers and employees what they can and cannot do. Take the teachers unions for example. They pull money from their teachers at will, control the educational curricula of most public schools, and they lobby government to pass laws that grants them even more power and gives them even more handouts. So we need a middleground where both businesses and unions are fair.

  • Comment removed

  • Excellent speech. Dead on. I hope many people listen to this and don't just ignore.

  • keep your money in a mattress. Correction your gold and silver.

  • Cool. Lets see what the young Paul presents via the amendments. Should prove interesting to say the least.

  • I totally agree.

  • RESTORE LIBERTY.

  • I'm glad I financially support Rand Paul so far.

  • Magnificent Speech. But the more they screw us.The more angry we get .

  • I am amazed - this is the first time I have heard Rand not spewing garbage... And I am completely in agreement with his dislike of the Patriot Act.

  • I love it how he explains it to the other Senators like their 6 year olds. Rand is so well spoken. He came to one of our events back in '08 and was flirting with running for Senate. I was really impressed, not only with his speaking, but he backs it up with action. Once he gets that fire in his belly he will have a good shot at the White House.

  • I live in Indiana and we are fucking pissed. Big protest is scheduled for noon on Wednesday at the State House. It's unbelievable what the supreme court ruled last week.

  • @redeyeramblin I heard about that but im not rly sure how to get to the state house...theres going to be ALOT of young faces there though.

  • 1 Israeli owned corporation handles 95% of all phone call records in the United States no matter what telephone company you have. You better support this young man and his father!

  • WTF happened in Indiana? Is anyone awake over there?

  • @goldcurrent1 a court ruling that says if a cop smells marijuana smoke outside a house they can knock once, then yell that they can hear you destroying evidence and they can then kick the door in and search your house.

  • Rand Paul speaks the truth and is for the American people!

  • Obama disliked this video...

  • AMEN!!

  • 103 likes, 1 dislikes Who wants to bet the dislike, voted that way because it was Ran Paul making the speech? I would like to see Rand make a speech about how he likes Obama & he is behind him 100%. The MSNBC talking heads would have their faces melt off then their heads would explode. ha ha ha ha ha ha ha

  • The patriot act is just another extension of title 50 AKA trading with the neemy act circa 1917 and revised under the emergency banking act of 1933. The People are the terrorists to the federal government always have always will be cause after all, if they were doing there Job obeying the original constitution they would have nothing to worry about. IE we would be a sovereign People with only the common law being used on us in all courts. Not a court martial then an equity for the fine.

  • This guy is AWESOME just like his dad!

  • @lunartechno same here lol

  • Those asshole indiana supreme court judges should listen to this speech

  • @M14Mann Indiana court cannot userp the bill of rights just not in there jurisdiction see William Maurbery V James Madison. An inferior law cannot userp the supreme law. In common law legal theory known as maxims of law, Which Judges must know in order to rule properly The creator is superior to the created, The principal is superior to the agent. We the People are the principal all governmnets are in fact and in law a created fiction legally speaking. You cannot throw a rock and Hurt a state.

  • Truth be told That Judge has not authority to make any decision on any amednment because of the clause in amending amendments forbids changing any amendment pre 1808. The bill of rights was drafted and entered before that date up till the 12th amendment. The bill of rights was not entered in to law via an act of congresss there for he has not authority tto repeal it or interperate it. Its called a "writ of quo warrento" HE HAS BY DEFINITION COMITTED TREASON IN AN OPEN COURT OF LAW. USC T18 S2381

  • And, what good is all that talk anyway if those fools in D.C. are puppets for the Federal Reserve and the other organisations that it collaborates with?

  • Wow!

  • I was expecting to hear an applause at the end of that i was so pleased haha but i forgot it was in the senate.

  • The only way those goons in D.C. understand it is by the gun, which is what the world needs right now, a global revolution against mob rulerships and their central bankers!

  • @rebelq1 And then the cycle will begin all over again.

  • @Homer177

    Unless it's a laissez faire anarcho-capitalist society! Or if people stand up against them when they try to take away their freedoms!

  • Rand, you are a very honorable man, thankyou for your words!! thankyou so much! god bless you and your ventures.. allow the american people to rise up against this! guys get out and start the ron paul campaign as well.. we MUST succeed!!

  • Go Rand!

  • Dammmmm. He broke it off. Ahahahahahahaa

  • Some of you so called Tea Partiers need to check yourselves and check your Representative if your for the Patriot Act and your calling yourself Tea Party. The two just don't go together. If you like the Patriot Act consider going to another country, stop trying to change this one.

  • Hell ya. force those fuks to vote and release who voted what way. This way we find out Who stands where and can vote them out.

    Good job Senator Paul.

    Thank you for your honorable service.

    To the Republic.......

  • @mjs1231 For all the legislation, who voted and how they vote, please refer to "Tracking the United States Congress" at govtrack [dot] us -OR- the THOMAS section of the Library of Congress at thomas [dot] gov And, btw, Michele Bachman, and her TP Caucus is approved and well loved by the GOP Neocons, b/c she VOTES WITH THE GOP AT LEAST 95% OF THE TIME, INCLUDING VOTING FOR THE PATRIOT ACT. This a all matter of public record.
