Tucker Carlson talks to Ron Paul supporters Part 2 (of 5)

[Visfen]

The books they are references are frankly crap. Economic hitman doesn't really source any information whatsoever. Naomi Kleins book of shock doctrine is only true in the premise, the implementation being open trade policies is certainly not the truth of most countries with problem, rather protectionism and decades of complete disaster is the norm.

And I am a Ron Paul supporter, from the Hayekian tradition.

[SwordsDragonsAndCoke]

wait a reporter admits when he doestn understand something?!? ( :42 ) who is this guy?

[selfrealizedexile]

Tucker Carlson isn't really that smart tbh.

[slurppypurr]

This makes me love Tucker!

[sstricke]

The gold standard has issues. If the dollar is backed by gold, it will indeed make the dollar more valuable. So valuable that other countries will want them, and gold will flood out of the country in the form of dollars. That happened in the 70's and that's why Nixon stopped exchanging foreign dollars for gold. I believe in commodity-backed currencies, but we need to keep our wealth from flowing out of the country.

[NosePickingSob]

Don't foreigners have something like 40 trillion of our fiat money???

[acott15]

after Nixon destroyed the last link dollar had with gold our wealth didn't leave the country it simply disappeared in the form of inflation.

[lastnymleft]

This road trip by Tucker was his turning point. Prior this, he used to always couch his support with a negative that undermined all he previously said. After this trip, and meeting these folk, and spending a lot of time with Dr Paul, he became a full on convert. If that hasn't happened to you yet, please keep researching him, and find out for themselves why his followers are so passionate.

[Xakryn]

I want to be self sustained and self empowered, but I work in the growing service sector of this country's corporatism. The reason Ron Paul's ideas have so much power is that there are many other intellectual people who can confirm the things he says. As a Canadian, or as I call us, diet America. Ron paul's actions in your country would save mine as well. Canadians are ignorant of their own political situation.

[NILgravity]

Tucker raised a good point about believing one group over another. The answer isn't in our hearts. Our hearts aren't reliable. The way to know what the truth is, is question everything. Even you're own beliefs. If you ever agree with anyone 100% of the time you are probably going about it all wrong.

[sugarpuddin88]

He doesn't understand the Federal Reserve System?

Sheesh! We are going to die by the Federal Reserve System - Just what does this guy know?

[fordsmith]

dude, Tucker is CIA....

[shanepkennedy]

i could soooooo see that. good i have been watching to many conspiracy theories, but gosh darn facism scares me.

[devknob]

why the hell does it look like this is the first time he's heard this stuff?

[LothairApoclyane]

it very well could be

[NigelKaye]

Everyone should read "Confessions of an Economic Hit Man" by John Perkins. Also: "The Secret History of the American Empire", also by John Perkins. Educate yourself!

DISCUSS, DONATE, VOTE!!!

RON PAUL 2008 dot COM

[janeleone]

I've always loved

Tucker. I'm a traditional Conservative, not a Fascist Neocon. I've always liked Tucker, Lou Dobbs, and Pat Buchanan, these are TRADITIONAL Conservatives, like Ron Paul.

Tucker voted him in! We should thank people like Tucker who voted him into Congress in the first place!

[ghamal]

This makes me like Tucker. I thought that was impossible before.

[sanssubsistence]

Same. He's ran his mouth in the past, but after listening to Jon Stewarts reflection on O'Reily et al. I've come to realize that they (we) are all opinionated, and for each of our own specific reasons. We make no progress by being aggressive towards our ideas, but we make a lot of progress by being honest, by being consistent, and by practicing what we preach.

Tucker is a believer of that, and so I am a believer of him. Even if I don't agree with what he says.

[cpglerum]

the dollar goes down because its not backed by gold anymore. its being printed faster then its worth. jobs in america are down and gone, thus money will lose its value, america almost creats nothing, its all made in other countrys by corporate SLAVES

[misterpher]

the harder they try to shut Ron Paul out, the harder we have to spread his message...Real Change, Straight Talk, GO RON PAUL!!!

[chewbaca1989]

Go, Ron.

[baddogrules]

Hey, I'm glad to see Tucker listen to these folks. He seemed genuine and interested. Good vid.

[EdwardK123]

Got my vote and my wife -- 6 children and their spouse and teir friends.

Go Ron Paul save this Country

[Rustyshackleford08]

People need to get out of the TV brainwashing outfit.

[pooXpoo]

watch?v=tPsWHoliquM

[Muslim4Jesus]

alot of people were doubting tucker cuz he'd say people aren't ready for ron paul and that he's radical...but in actuality tucker is Paul's biggest fan, and after watching this i have a new admiration for tucker..not many of these pundits have the guts to come and mingle with the public and just listen

[abe3443]

I'm with Tucker.  HOW do you know you're hearing the truth? You can't just hear it. You have to follow the information trail.

[shagywashere]

You're right, but what these guys forgot to mention is that these books are backed up by historical facts and many sources. In the books they cite many sources. And if you're not sure, look at documents and such from the time they're talking about. You can use the internet to check sources, if you're not sure about something. That's what I do.

[shagywashere]

Also, all of Ron Paul's ideas are backed up by historical facts. We (or atleast I don't) follow him because it feels right, but because I KNOW he's right! If you look at what Ron Paul is saying and compare it history, you'll know exactly where he is coming from. History ALWAYS repeats itself. It always will.

[WTC7WasPulled]

I don't trust Tucker at all. He's shown his true colors before.

[framecut]

Poor Tucker.

[vocalbrush]

thanks for posting these videos.

Im going to buy these books.

[COAnews]

read the books they talk about

[Cyrus255]

Everyone, we need official designated Ron Paul spokespersons for every meetup.

I know you have good intentions but when you're talking to someone who is new to the concept of freedom, you have to really ease them in.

And don't drone on and on.

Stick to the points. He's for allowing gold and silver to be legal tender, to legalize gold and silver. (if you word it that way MUCH better).

He's for legalizing freedom, competition, for ending war, and for the constitution.

[momerath42]

Tucker's tie is hypnotizing me!

Paul/Kucinich vs Kucinich/Paul!

Take back *both* parties from the CFR!

[koreapassie]

I don't like kucinich, he is a socialist.

[avoozl07]

ultimately...doesn't matter what tucker says...the people have a fire and they are lighting everyone with the Light Of Liberty!

[rundoetx]

The American people speak. Finially.

[thereallurker]

Isn't that Tucker? The "newsman" who doesn't know shit about government and is taking a contract as a game show host.

[success4meandyou]

legalize marijuana, this is silly and then we wouldn't have this problem with hemp. treat it like alcochol and educate our young ones to obstain before becoming of age. kids can m/j today easier than alcohol!

[marcusjansen239369]

good to se Americans finally putting their think cap on:)

[YazDawg]

wow some of yall come off as crazy

[Amy31415]

I'm a serious Ron Paul supporter and I do agree. The unfortunate part of having a candidate who will really change things is that he also attracts some loonies.

The majority of us supporters truly are not like that.

[YazDawg]

yeah you probably noticed by my channel, i'm a hardcore Paulite also.

now some of them had some good points, but i mean they're speaking for all ron paul supporters... which is a bad thing... and there's Tucker- just to absorbing all of the wacky things said. this is probably the worst video of the series.

[Cflalcon]

Haha, you've gotta give Tucker credit. I mean, he did vote for Paul in '88, as well as, "shit, dude, it takes a lot to make me uncomfortable."

[hooligan2005]

HE claims Ron PAul isn't giving anything to people like the other candidates promise. I disagree, he is giving us our income back.He is giving us freedom from the fear of confiscation of our guns insuring our liberty. How far would the Nazis have gotten with if every Jewish household had a un and 500 rounds?

[illicon]

man I'm gonna miss the debate I have to go to class, shit

[Funkmasterizzy]

normally I wouldn't condone skipping class, but I can't miss RP with home court advantage.

[DCUPtoejuice]

Nice Tucker! Go get 'em

[DCUPtoejuice]

I would vote for Tucker over Ron Paul if he were running.

[MrXfromPlanetX]

I wonder if someone could give him a copy of

"Money Banking and the Federal Reserve" Check it out on Google Video or go to tinyurl(.)com/33cke5 I'm trying to find it on DVD. This is the best explanation of going to a gold standard ever.

He should also check out "History of Oil" by Robert Newman on Google Video, or go to tinyurl(.)com/3xucqu

Robert covers the issue of Iraq switching from the US Dollar to Euros.

[rayofminneapolis]

Super terrific conversation! Tucker gains respect for simply listening.

[decker1233]

Great vid, very interesting dynamic discussion. Hope there are people looking into this vid. Super Good JOB! 5 star material!

[zombo611]

Hemp could be used as Ethenol concept!

[banemaler]

Freakin' Awesome

[piscesgutt]

Tucker Carlson seems bewildered by Ron Paul supporters intelligence

[indyattic]

"It's a paradigm shift." Indeed it is.

[sharpsteve2003]

Excellent

[carpavel]

Thanks Tuck

[6969wrath]

Tucker is awesome....regardless of his views, he gives Ron plenty of airtime.

[putittogether]

At least he is taking the time to learn more about the supporters of Ron Paul.

[freebob3]

He DOES support RP. It's just not itme yet...

[Rustyshackleford08]

The time is NOW and he has to come out in support.

[andrepp1701]

The fact is most Ron Paul supporters are not conspiracy nuts but rather quasi eduacated individuals who know whats really going on in America.

[mayavision2012]

I give Tucker Carlson much credit for at least taking the time to get to know and understand what's going on in the real world. That is the important thing, whether he supports Dr. Paul or not.

[PeoplesVendetta]

its all for publicity. Tucker Carlson has been one of the biggest douchebags (and bush supporter) on tv since he was on crossfire with the ridiculous bowties. fuck him

[mike6459]

FYI...Tucker voted for Paul in 88 when he ran as a Libertarian

[PeoplesVendetta]

I repeat, tucker IS A BUSH SUPPORTER. He was one of the biggest cheerleaders for the war and all the other fascist like neocon agendas Do i really need to say more?? He plainly says on this video hes lost on the GOLD STANDARD out of all things. gimme a break

[Shadyhunter04]

He merely said that he doesn't understand it, yet still agrees with most Ron Paul says.

[PeoplesVendetta]

oh he understands it, he just doesnt want it. Who doesnt understand what the hell the gold standard is? you'd have to be retarded! yeah, he SAYS he agrees with much of what paul says. Much like how bush said hes for no nation building and limited govt lol

[PeoplesVendetta]

He knows damn well what the gold standard is, he just doesnt agree with it

[alexpasch]

I understand what the gold standard is perfectly well...I also understand what the problems with one are...to you...there are no problems with it..and that's wrong...

Even Ron Paul recognizes there are problems with a "traditional gold standard"

[Majisto]

"shit, dude, it takes a lot to make me feel uncomfortable"

-tucker carlson

haha

[gold95]

I'm not sure Tucker's impression is very favorable. Even though all of ti may be true, it appears to sound a bit conspiratorial.
