Tom Woods on the Dennis Miller Show 2/15/11

[pablo16825]

I love Dennis Miller. A genuinely brilliant satirist and just as importantly and open minded intellectual.

[illmaticjesus]

Dennis Miller gives a great interview and it is relieving to hear someone have an open mind to liberty and Tom Woods' ideas.

[HeyObamaCanIGetALoan]

OK Miller says at 3:36 what sounds like "Megothian" can't find a definition for this - no doubt I'm spelling it wrong. Can any one help?

[mistermacdude]

@HeyObamaCanIGetALoan He said "Madoffian" as in Bernie Madoff :)

[nwaustx2011]

Thank you Tom Woods for educating an idiot like Dennis Miller. Really...Dennis Miller is an incredible idiot...yes.....look at the Paul's....they are real Americans.

[Eric21ND]

@nwaustx2011

At least Dennis is open to learning and likes hearing different view points. Christ look at Bill O'Reilly

[TrippingTheTube]

"plastic man out of central casting"  hahahahaha That was great!

[TrippingTheTube]

@TrippingTheTube Still laughing. That was the best description of Mitt character I've heard. LOL

[NCIcaucus]

States rights, Ron/Rand Paul or fail!

[mnrjwalters]

Great interview Tom. Miller is actually very intelligent, clearly has some libertarian leanings, and is wasted on O'Reilly. I was impressed with his willingness to listen and hopefully learn something new. If he actually does read Rollback he'll be confronted with some hard truths about the Military Industrial Complex. This is coming from a former conservative who for years bought the empty argument about the "untouchable" military budget. Keep up the good work Dr. Woods. You're an inspiration.

[jabgdn]

If Woods would have stuck a knife in the "Americas global military adventurism" sacred cow that Miller holds dear, this interview would have gone south in a hurry.

[tenaciousj54]

Great interview!

[mcgrawtim123]

"The Paul Boys" lol. They are the modern day Gracchi brothers. Hopefully they won't meet the same fate.

[AtheistAltar]

Dennis Miller stole that line about Madoff being Sec. of Treasury on O'Reilly Wednesday night, if I recall correctly.

[LeifEiriksson]

Dennis Miller is a very good host. Tom did excellent here.

[slickbtk]

paul ryan is an idiot just like the rest of them, he voted for the bailout, fuck him

[chastewolf]

Oh, Tom. You did enjoy a fancy hotel. You showed a group of students your room! Keep up the good work, mister. :)

[CKtestvids]

Did Miller say "I'm gonna have to go check out these paul boys, Woods is the next great intellectual?" This is how we win, a little at a time.

[CKtestvids]

Thanks for uploading this, great great stuff.

@Xasew

I posted 3 posts in a row. Not certain to which you're referring. I'll assume...

There were several posts along the line of 'entitlements' just going to those who paid in, as if it were a private ins or investment program. So it was meant for specific posters. Sry.

[9x23win]

Who butters Millers bread an gives him a podium? Not anyone that supports the Paul boys. He's just another tool with a smart ass cool guy schtick.

[johnjen5321]

Ron Paul is THE VERY LAST HOPE for this country before it heads over the cliff. Either rally behind him and get him elected, or as Tomas Woods says--vote for the dolt from "central casting" and pay an awful price. You choose. As for me and my house, we'll be choosing the side of Liberty and MUCH less gov't and rallying behind both Pauls...

[fluff125]

Dennis is a good guy. I always liked him

[ronheri]

Ron and Rand and Peter Schiff and Tom Woods. Alex Jones as Press Secretary.

[Eric21ND]

@ronheri

Stossel > Jack Cafferty > Coat Rack > Alex Jones

[propanes]

minnesotachris, would you post the Dennis Miller interview with Rand Paul from the 17th?

[minnesotachris]

@propanes It looks like you have to be a member of the Dennis Miller show to download the Rand Paul interview. I got the Tom Woods one up because the Mises Institute put an mp3 on their website.

[DONOVANDANNA]

I'm back to being a Dennis Miller fan.

[thedemoboy]

@DONOVANDANNA Give him time. Just wait and see how he treats Ron Paul after he announces his candidacy for POTUS.

[Jaycephus01]

Question for the morons posting on this video...

How is it possible for people who pay a net zero or even negative in taxes to be 'entitled' or 'robbed' by the ending of a program. Damn... you idiots are stupid!

[Xasew]

@Jaycephus01

I seriously have a hard time understanding what you're trying to say. Exactly what are you referring to?

[Jaycephus01]

Visfen, Sweden also has a nation-wide voucher-style school choice system now as well, right?

[Jaycephus01]

Antischiff is to logical, informed, honest, intelligent discussion what Godzilla is to Tokyo.

[MrRiceowlex]

It's all I.O.U.'s...Alice in Wonderland, Fantasy Island..There IS NO MONEY PEOPLE. What do you think GAAP accounts for, double column treasury accounting all banks and courts businesses use this. Money of account is a balancing act that doesn't include hard currency, IT'S ACCOUNTING Money of exchange is done privately. When you exchange your money of exchange (you receive from your labor/work equity) for bank credit, YOU LOSE ALL EQUITY, same with a house, car..etc Wake up already.

[anyusmoon1]

@MrRiceowlex What's the solution in this 'gap period' between knowing its fruitlessness yet surrounded by it?

[enduro0276]

RON PAUL 2012!!!!!!!

[capitalist4life]

This interview makes me like Miller much more.

[n0us3rn4m3s4v41l4bl3]

Paul Ryan sucks balls. astroturf.

[AntiSchiff]

Well, I'm not sure which of these guys is the bigger wingnut. Dennis Miller and Woods are pieces of shit.

[WarDogLRS]

@AntiSchiff Spoken like a Moron

[AntiSchiff]

@WarDogLRS

You don't know the first think about economics you dumb shit.

[Voy2378]

Schiff radio FTW... To bad that now government asslohes will avoid his show. :D

[dragonflychainsaw]

entitlement means that you have paid into the program and are entitled to the program you fucking idiots

[AntiSchiff]

@dragonflychainsaw

Yep. These fools don't understand that when these programs are cut, they're being robbed.

They don't understand that then they may have to give up their doublewides for singles.

[Mechanized0]

@dragonflychainsaw The problem is that no money is actually available to pay back these entitlements. What government has done is make promises they could not possibly keep for the short term benefit of re-election. Individuals are indeed being robbed. However, to allow these "programs" to continue is to only further the robber in the long term. Unfortunately, the US government is essentially broke.

[MaurDL]

The funny thing is Tom didn't even say anything mind blowing and Miller is impressed. They're going to have to scrape his brains off the ceiling if he ever gets around to familiarizing himself with Paul.

[anyusmoon1]

Absolutely agree with Tom Woods--- Nope, Romney, is NOT viable and is truly another 'plastic man who looks like something out of central casting' lol; great comment Mr. Woods!

Come on PEOPLE

R&R PAUL 2012!!!!!

[EsCurve]

the Pauls need to throw some bribes on the table too!

[civusamericanus]

Yeah Dennis, you better get on the band wagon and read up more on the Paul's, since they're the only ones with immediate plans! 

[Xasew]

Madoff as Secretary of the Treasury was totally stolen from Schiff's speech! xD

watch?v=EgMclXX5msc

[cowboy1165]

@Xasew They roll in the same circle. I don't think Peter would mind.

[europa]

If Dennis comes around I will love him again, with a twist of caution because he looks like he goes with the wind like Beck but hopefully he is just getting educated

[Visfen]

I live in Sweden and our system collapsed in the 90s. We had to extensively reformed our pension system because the money simply wasn't there. Same has happened with sick leave now and is basically happening to all programs. They've tried to solve it by immigration but that doesn't work because of all the stupid laws that make it illegal to get a job in this country (or rather make it so expensive to employ people). We truly are moving away from it, but probably not fast enough.

[anyusmoon1]

@Visfen I only wish more from Sweden would speak openly about their problems like you have, including the detrimental impact of universal health care as a main culprit.

[Visfen]

@anyusmoon1 Well indoctrination is a powerful thing and people usually only see the benefit, not the unforeseen consequences.

[anyusmoon1]

@Visfen So true! :0(

[vindician]

Luxembourg, Lichtenstein, Finland...haha...well, the two former are quite comparable, but Finland is something completely different.

[MikeyKP420]

I'm a big fan of Tom Woods, and I thought this was a great interview: Miller let Woods do most of the talking, as it should be when you have a guest on your show, and at the end, Miller admits that he doesn't know enough about Ron and Rand Paul, and he's going to make it a point to learn more.

[anyusmoon1]

@MikeyKP420 Ahhh a comment that truly deserves the multitude of thumbs up :-)

[gavinovz]

@MikeyKP420 I don't know, I thought Miller gave Woods plenty of time to speak.

[thedemoboy]

@gavinovz Yeah. You have to understand that when you're a radio host, you HAVE to steer the show, or it will turn into chaos from time to time... so it's best to ALWAYS steer the show. Miller didn't interrupt, and did a good job of just asking questions, and listening to the answer.

[TABOOVSKNOWLEDGE]

Isn't Dennis Miller, Bill Orilly's wife?

Bride goes' in, bride goes' out!

Never a MISSunderstanding!

[holidayhouse03]

nice plug for peter

[MoneyIsSilver]

It'd be funny if someone shot Dennis Miller in the face. He stopped being funny in the 80s.

[jefftri]

Tom Woods, smartest dude on the planet.

[carcabe]

Tom, please stop calling so-called entitlements entitlements. Nobody is entitled to handouts form money stolen from their fellow citizens.

[BlueSkies360]

@carcabe weeelllll said

[americanbandwidth]

I am getting so frustrated with people, these assholes refuse to listen and they are the 1st ones to bitch and moan about their Government check.

They refuse to listen.

I am at the point of ignoring them and their needs no matter what they want.

Refuse to listen. Refuse.

It's the people who are in the know that need to start refusing.

Refuse to listen to the whine of the know-it-alls who want to live forever like it's 1988.

I just do my job and STFU.

[P0LICEstateWATCH]

I'll give Miller one thing- he's willing to change his mind. It's just too bad that before he hears another opinion, he snidely rails against that which he is ignorant of. Conservatives need to drop the Reagan-worship: bu any measure President Reagan was an immense disappointment! If you call yourself a conservative, you need to support candidates who have a track record and aren't bought and paid for! and we all know who that is...

[jazzeffc]

cool that Tom listens to Peter Schiff

[Eric21ND]

Dennis couldn't have a better teacher.

[fivestarmichael]

Are you on facebook?

[RonPaulFriends]

I hope Dennis wakes up and then gets O'Reilly to wake up too, but that'll happen when pigs fly.

[Signzit]

@RonPaulFriends lol you know, that's true, rpf

[thedemoboy]

@RonPaulFriends Dennis has already come a long way, actually. If I remember right, he used to be a hard-line leftist... now he's a hardish-line right winger. NOW we get him to go from the Statist Right to the Libertarian Right. :)

[Hylanvahr]

@thedemoboy that would be good, but please don't call it libertarian-"right". the philosophy transcends the Left-Right paradigm illusion that the elites use to manipulate the masses.

[voice940]

@Hylanvahr Actually, I will call it the Libertarian "RIGHT" because there IS a "left and right" in politics (think of it as an "X" axis). However, there is also a Libertarian and Statist (think of it as a "Y" axis). Most libertarians are still right-leaning - although there are a few leftists in the Libertarian camp. If you are straight up on the libertarian train of thought, you border anarchist; but as Madison said, "If men were angels then no gov't would be necessary" and we sure aren't.

[voice940]

@voice940 ***This is thedemoboy's "other" account

[purplefetus3]

@RonPaulFriends People like O'Reilly and Hannity are wide awake. Make no mistake. They simply CHOOSE to side with the dark forces.

[LtlChiefThunderCloud]

@RonPaulFriends

Anything is now possible - we already had Swine Flew

[sleedolfine15]

@RonPaulFriends Dennis Miller has possibilities,but O'Reilly is hopeless.

[fivestarmichael]

Thanks for uploading.  Good add.
