12/17/09 Peter Schiff On FOX & Friends: Bernanke Person Of The Year?

[aviomaster]

WHEN Ben Bernanke speaks about current crisis his main goal is to keep people in the DARK. So they are confused.

[jeremyraybrown]

Ron Paul for President. Peter Schiff for Treasury Secretary. Jim Rogers to head the Fed. Dalton Fury for Defense Secretary. Ray McGovern for CIA Director ... etc ...

These are some of the people that have a good understanding of the world. Unfortunately, idiots are in charge and Americans are largely clueless to that.

[waluum]

I don't subscribe to the idea that a small group of people (whether the Federal Reserve board, Congress or the President and his cabinet - the big three) can know what is better for the whole of society than the whole of society itself, much less that they can identify and understand the complexities of the free market. Its complexities are a testament to the necessity of it remaining free of such significant intervention as was brought on by the big three.

[00RoninSamurai00]

Agreed. It's called an oligarchy, and it is unconstitutional. The Fed was created in secrecy by, and is controlled by the same people that made trillions of dollars off of the bailout scam through G-Sachs, BofA, JP Morgan, etc. An independent audit would reveal the conflicts of interests involved. That is why the Fed is fighting against it tooth and nail.

[waluum]

The question is, is the prospect of another depression more debilitating in the extended short-term (next decade or so) than the adverse effects, seen and still unseen, of artificial bolstering of the existing state of affairs by government?

[lenny380]

The media is truly an entity unto itself these days - completely separate from the voice of the people. We the public need to recognize the modern media as nothing more than tabloid entertainment -as they no longer serve as real,factual news.

[kayaker712]

"In Fed we Trust"

My God, the man is a moron

[spyletu]

"in fed we trust".. almost barfed in my mouth

[wreagfe]

David Wessel's allegations are unfounded. Just as Ben Bernanke, Peter never changed his tune when he began running for office.

[joescarafone]

Well honestly a takeover of the United States wouldn't be possible without the Banks? Of Course he's in their hip pocket.

[Intervene]

What a joke, go Peter!

[pirucreek]

Bernanke should have to make any mistakes. shut this ffin fed down. If the dfed did not exist gas would be $1 a gallon. All the hidden bank bailouts are adding money to the supply. Congress are the other asses that can't balance a budget.

Full reserve banking with a balanced budget amendment. Will eliminate bubbles and eliminate inflation. Allowing the middle class rather than bankers to rule the land.

[happysplinters]

Lets hope a middle class survives. And that parasitic multi billionaires club dwindles

[SilverRussell]

In the FED we trust?????? lol Bernanke isn't popular???? lol I love listening to these guys, they have no clue,...none.

Go Peter Go!!

[fatmoleman]

What an idiot this columnist is.

[Overcastkid747]

Who to believe?

Peter Schiff: Economist, and lives this stuff.

Or Newspaper columnist talking out of his ass on a subject that he's looked at for 5 minutes of his life when he watched it on TV saying that exact same thing he said.

[eyewitness043]

How many video's will schiff have to make b4 people get up and move their ass?

Will Americans ever get off the sidelines and "make a play"? Or, as long as their our "hero's" are on TV why bother fighting? Ron Paul & Schiff will take care of everything right?

(((shaking my head)))

No matter if Paul & Schiff are "right" or "wrong" they aint gonna to save anybody from these CRIMINALS in finance and government. People have to save themself and that can't be done sitting & watching TV.

[livefreeordie2008]

I agree eyewitness.Peter Schiff and Ron Paul will be long gone before we are ever completely out of this mess. Lets say Ron Paul got elected President,do you really think he could fix everything wrong with our country in 4 years? The answer is no he couldnt. He would be able to get somethings done and the ball rolling on others but there needs to be people ready to complete all this after paul and schiff are gone. good point eyewitness.

[KimInLosAngeles]

Mr. Schiff = Genius

Wall Street Journal = Trashy whore

A bunch of Japanese organizations purchased a 1-page ad in Wall Street Journal in 2007 that

"Comfort Women" (200,000 SEX SLAVES: women & girls, as young as 10-year-olds, from all over Asia who were kidnapped & gang raped by Japanese soliders during WWII) were VOLUNTEERED PROSTITUTES who received monthly salary HIGHER than Japanese army generals.

Other newspapers refused to put that ad, but Wall Street Journal did.

Google it.

[madhuradi]

sort of  'Me too ' video hardly a debate

[NicosMind]

Thank god for Peter Schiff and Rolling Stone Magazine!

Screw Ben Bernake and Time Magazine!

Schiff for Senate,

Ron Paul 2012,

Vote UKIP!

[printo69]

Bernanke should be Times Person of the Year. He'll fit in well with with the rest of the totalitarians like Hitler, Stalin, Kruschev, Nixon, Bush & Giluani.

[printo69]

In Fed We Trust?

I just threw up in my mouth a little bit...

[pantadon]

Schiff is cool

[firstade86]

Holy Schiff that was quick

[daizee106]

Time magazine is a fraud and a rag. I would not spend 2 cents on that piece of trash. Yeah, man of the year my ass

[fox20012]

At the end 'Lets talk reality'

Well the reality will sink in home when the next crisis hits!

[bajoverga]

Schiff JUST happened!

[PeterSodhi]

Kept the economy going through hyper inflation just long enough so that Obama can go to war with Iran for the last remaining oil. Oil runs out on 2050 according to ASPO. Read on Peak oil and Alarmin Economic Facts on Youtube.

[Vunks2000]

Schiff just happened

[vinny1010]

Holy shit, that was a short segment!!

[kprice333]

Here we have 2 intelligent men capable on interesting debate and Fox interviews them for 3 minutes............ridiculous

[tarossi400]

Right! He even has the nerve to call it a "great debate".

[NowisEvollovetion]

As with most things, what is pushed in the MSM as being truth, is actually the opposite.

As Max Keiser said, "Bernanke along with his CRONIES, Geithner and Paulson are nothing but FINANCIAL TERRORISTS".

Simply look at what the money in your wallet/purse now buys you, that action alone will show you what effect Bernanke and his fellow Central Bank 'Gang Members' have had on the world economy.

[freedomfighterone]

Bernanke was made "Person of the Year" by the elite who control Time Magazine, because he's doing everything they want - bringing down America and the whole Western World.

[freedomfighterone]

Let's talk reality? The reality is that Bernanke is a criminal who should be arrested for intentionally destroying the economy.

[escapethecollapse]

hitler was man of the year. bfd.

[residentzombie]

and Joseph Stalin was twice also

[edsonusa75]

I compare that to Obama winning the Peace Nobel Prize.

[luxuryglow]

SENATOR PETER SCHIFF OF CONNECTICUT!!!!

You GO Peter!!!!

[JessicaBelle81]

I wonder if I counterfeited 10 trillion dollars and dished it out to all of my buddies if I'd get person of the year?

I have a feeling I'd be in prison.......but Helecopter Ben- he's a Saint!!!

[Reckless3057]

4 minutes? WTF? come on Fox... macroeconomics gets 4 freaking minutes?

[AmericanValues321]

Macro economics has nothing to do with our lives. Why would Fox ever report on such a minor issue.

[AmericanValues321]

I'm kidding of course

[noclouds111]

I enjoy reading most of these comments. Here, there are many people who think for themselves. It's a relief from the constant drivel we have to endure at the hands of our elected (and appointed)officials.

[njcarlos1]

God these segments are so pointless. They spend almost the exact same time introducing the guests as they do allowing them to discuss an issue. Why bother, really? For such complicated matters, you need more than a one or two minute debate.

Yet they'll get a panel debating Tiger Woods or some ridiculous nonsense for hours upon hours at a time. Ugh.

[jo282271]

I agree 100%, thak you. I thought I was the only one who noticed they never talk about anything real for more than 5 minutes, usually it's only for two to three minutes.

[thecommaking]

It doesn't matter whether the Fed chairman is popular or unpopular. There shouldn't be a Fed chairman or a Fed. Volker was better than Bernanke, but Volker was still bad. Peter's point is that Bernanke is extremely popular with the powers that be -- i.e., Wall Street. I support Peter, but he should argue for ENDING the Fed, not reforming it.

[Reckless3057]

I think he's just argueing in the opposistions mind frame. i think he's more saying IF we HAVE to have this federal reserve and according to your own justifications for the fed. Then the chairmen must be _____ and ____. this guy isn't, no one can be therefore we must end the fed.

[boots920]

The country is at 1930 ?

Just watch the US dollar go to zero then you'll see the panic , taxpayers will die.

Stop the wars, Impeach Obama and End the Fed or watch civilization implode.

I don't want to go on the cart !!!

[maartinjsh86]

video sucks. too short, no discussion at all

[Emotionengne]

the fed chairman should not be popular..If you think this statement makes so much sense.

[noclouds111]

@Emotionengne ...I agree, and unfortunately, our great land has turned into one big popularity contest. No wonder why nothing of any merit can be accomplished!

[EMPIRE0FLIES]

You can just tell who is getting paid off. Sickening to the core!

[focus21x]

Schiff for the Senate, Schiff for the Fed, Schiff for the President of the United States!

[capitalist4life]

Less than 4 minutes long? WTF?!?

[AiresQX4]

How could they save something they built and burned?

[Elasaltaculos]

Great Debate? they barely had more than a minute to state their opinions. I wanted Schiff to humiliate that idiot.

[tooltalk]

that Wessel guy is such a weasel.

[iamacyborg]

Ben Bernake is the exact opposite of Paul Volker.

[polarbeach]

"great debate guys " are you kidding me ? why even have someone on to rapid fire questions and answers in 3 minutes and not even pay attention to them at that ... what a waste of time .... should have just went to commercial again.

[houseofthemoon]

In Silver we trust

[davincij15]

Silver is my gold.

[ILovelisanova]

that guy wrote a book? "In FED we trust"????

[AiresQX4]

I know what a sicko my first thought.

[TheLiberalssuckdick]

To short man. Less than 4 minutes?

I wanted Peter Schiff to give this guy a lesson.

[BlueSkies360]

If this is too short, listen to yesterday's WS Unspun: /watch?v=YJhzbWNveV0

Peter talks for the whole hour.

[TheLiberalssuckdick]

heard it and subscribe to both WS and schiffreport.
