  • Ron Paul. Winning.

  • Shakir is a fucking moron. The Fed was created by a president looking to control our economy from the oval office. The presidency was created in our Constitution of America. We've had dozen's of presidents that were horrible. The Fed is the problem and the private company that controls the Fed are there to make money off of the people. The Fed was not supposed to control the economy. Now, we can't seem to get rid of it. You know something is fishy when both GOP and Dems agree on the Fed.

  • Some people are sooo brain washed that common sense does not make sense to them .

  • wow this host is actually defending ron paul to this idiot, Havnt seen much of that in the media...most of the time it is the opposite

  • OWNED

  • Ron Paul's Debate Day Money Bomb! May 5th, 2011! LibertyPAC!

  • She is a poor moderator. I think that neither of them made a convincing case for their particular points of view. I think the Fed should be abolished, but a luddite prescription like returning to the gold standard is grossly impractical. It would stifle liquidity and wouldn't work in a complex, modern economy. The real solution is to put currency issue where it properly belongs; with the federal government. Monetary policy would thus be subject to law and wouldn't create immediate public debt.

  • @teachinggypsy It would work just fine.

    its a form of exchange that actually has worth.

    unlike printed money.

  • 5:50 - OWNED!

    look at Jr.'s face :-| *gulp*

  • @shrump87 this nigga rob paul lost i know huh :D

  • RON PAUL FOR PRESIDENT 2012

  • @MONEYHUNGRYRECORDING

    Ron Paul's Debate Day Money Bomb! May 5th, 2011! LibertyPAC!

  • Be ready Asian women online  lushfmlk.info

  • @undrcvrbro70 FED can not print money without getting government bonds.

  • People that want to end the FED need to know that ALL banks can create money 'out of thin air'. It is not the fed that creates the major part of all money, it is the banks.

    There are some good movies on youtube on how this works. Check out 'Debt as money', 'Fractional Banking and the Federal Reserve System Explained' and 'banking' 1 - 18.

  • @AngeCord the fed is at the top of the fractional reserve system thats the problem. The fact they are a private company compounds that problem. The fed should be run by elected officals if nothing else.

  • @AngeCord Great point, Yes, exactly so. End the Fed AND (!) the FRAUDULENT RESERVE LENDING SYSTEM. Get the fraud and the fraudsters out of the system--the giant global Ponzi scheme.

  • who is this clown daring to take on Ron Paul?

  • get your head out your azz ,Faz.

  • man look at his supporter from all walk of life it is nonsense people trying to spread about him being racist dude from the south just look at the crowd hip hop dude asian girl hispanic average white dude old folk literally from walk of life sadly it's very difficult for him to get past redneck & hilbilly of republican primary , if american not being ridiculous about this 2 party solution of our democracy this guy got to be one of the greatest politican we have ever had period ...

  • U.S. treasury backed up my gold? nah, thats too simple, let's make things complicated so we can transfer all our power to elites!

  • Don't you think Kudlow would reach more of your target market by making a move to FOX?

    I think people that watch CNBC are looking for less emotional and more objective take on current financial events.

    Do yourself and CNBC fans a favor and join the other Republican cheerleaders at FOX.

    Ahh.. how I miss the days when news reported the fact and left the viewers up to make an opinion.

    Now news is more like an attempt at brainwashing that anything.

    Que cera :/

  • @colmichaels  .. So you are saying that CNBC fans want to be lied too ?

    They want to be coaxed n patted on the back n told things could be ok under the current system ? Abolishing the fed and preventing the dollar from crashing and preventing us from entering into another depression isn't a "republican cheerleading" stance ...u realize this don't u ? If you are a leftest for instance ...are u capable of understanding that if Ron Isn't listened too...all the social systems will collapse?

  • STABILITY FOR HIM...LOL....MORON

  • Owned by Ron Paul!

  • I love how the host jumped in on Ron Paul's side, pressing the "Faz" guy with, "but did the Fed cause it?" Surprising!

  • My god that kid is stupid! he don´t now a shit

  • Maybe instead of abolishing the Fed we could have some non Jews chairing it and making up its Board?

  • AMEN

  • Ron Paul destroyed that shill. I say shill because anyone who could tell lies like that with a straight face has to be on someone's payroll.

    Comparing the Fed to the Presidency?

    Saying we had stability the last 7 years?

  • This guy debating Ron Paul on this topic is very obviously way in over his head. He took a whippin from the master. Better luck next time, young grasshopper. The Center for American Progress should show progress by Abolishing The FED!!!

  • Exactly. I'll bet he did a lot of practice with his analogy at 3:13 about abolishing the presidency and thought he was going to score a soundbite on Ron. Totally useless! Obviously you don't abolish the presidency, as the office is constitutional. Ron's position is that the Fed is unconstitutional, and that guy just missed the point.

  • If the baby is evil throw it out with the bathwater. End the Fed

  • The USA took a chance on Obambee. Why not Ron Paul??

  • 'Take chances?' With the Presidency? haha

  • Rand Paul money bomb on December 16, 2009. Pledge today, donate on December 16th.

    RandsTeaParty (.) com

  • haha this guy is talking about stability in financial markets. I wonder how much he lost in october.

  • This was so hilarious.. Reminded me of "one flew over the cuckoo's nest"!!

    Ron Paul the voice of sanity trying to explain rationality to a moron and a kid just out of pram...yet he did not lose his composure...

  • that arab fucker probably works for al qaeda! i bet that cunt is a terrorist!

  • Every country should bring back the gold standard and bring in Silver and Platinum too, the dollar, the Pound, euro, the yen is all finished!

  • Bring back the Gold standard.

    Or a gold, silver, copper, platinum basket of goods standard.

    Correct capitalism, depends on capital that has value.

  • idiots! everyone knows you can't fool around on a pile of gold and silver, sheesh

  • we cant debate the issue or support ron paul without calling other people paki or niggers?? idiots

  • I just don't understand how people listen to Ron Paul and think he should not be our President. Ron Paul actually lost the other politicians during the debate in 08. You could actually see the stupid look on thiere faces as he spoke the blatent truth. We HAVE to get this guy nominated in 2012. Everyone that likes him needs to start getting his name and ideas out there! Ron Paul even said himself its hard to compete with the funds Obama had last year. which is sad but what can we do.

  • the paki guy got owned

  • America needs to abolish the Fed and go to a Fat Girl Standard.

    if our money was backed by fat girls we would be safer than ever.

  • its funny how the usa thinks the cash in their pocket will save them from whats ahead. however if the fed wants to make the current usa 1 dollar into 1 cent. there is no say. what is the best usa butt cleaner? a scrap of ragpaper called money.

  • End the Fed. I agree with Ron on this one one hundred percent. I have studied the start of the fed and know they are the cause of the instability this nation has had since the thirties.

  • It will be Romney vs. Obama in 2012...

  • I dont mind Romney but hes too much like john kerry. Kinda grinds my gears....He's a rich politician, a medicore one term governer, who has flip flopped on his issues in order to ensure political success. Ron Paul 2012

  • "A great industrial nation is controlled by it's system of credit. Our system of credit is concentrated in the hands of a few men. We have come to be one of the worst ruled, one of the most completely controlled and dominated governments in the world--no longer a government of free opinion, no longer a government by conviction and vote of the majority, but a government by the opinion and duress of small groups of dominant men." — President Woodrow Wilson (signed federal reserve act of 1913)

  • If anything it was nice to see real debate between two educated individuals rather the rhetoric flinging that seems to dominate most political and policy debates...

  • more banks failed after the FED was created. look it up yourself.

  • Another win for Ron Paul. Will the majority ever wake up to the fact that he has been right all along?

  • Comment removed

  • you sound extremely unintelligent....

  • toknow07 Because the opposite of him is tyranny, generally most cultures who print money to fuel war, are a tyranical state. If Ron paul opposes these views and philosophies, how is that no mind of your own? I would say that no mind of your own would be to go with the flow. right?

  • Luckily Fa Casheery had "mommy" there to make him feel warm and fuzy when Ron was giving him a History lesson.

  • Paul My KING !!

  • MSNBC is the most wacky news channel and thats sayin somethin. they got fox and cnn beat by a mile.

  • Wow. This chick is a brainless moron. I don't watch CNBC - this is probably why. Why a dunderhead!

  • Compared to the guy that was attempting to debate Ron Paul, she's a freaking genius. That guy thought that had the Federal Reserve been around before the Great Depression, they would have prevented it. Well, the Fed was created over a decade before the Great Depression and was a major factor in creating it! How in the world was this guy put on TV to debate a subject which he knew next to nothing about?

  • Ron Paul is a wise man and others basically majority of them are selfish, greedy, self-lovers. More for them and less for the people.

  • ron pauls a beast keep doing your job fuck the nwo

  • Once again Ron wins the debate. I have'nt seen anyone come close to the champ.

  • And they never will. Ron Paul 2012

  • RON PAUL IS A LIZARDPERSON

  • no doubt!  I get all my econ info from icke

  • And whats wrong with lizards hrmm? Stop being a racist :P

  • What I really hate about the news is that they bring these guys on to talk about the big issues and then they spend the whole time trying to shut them up. For Pete's sake, let them talk!

  • It's mostly Ron Paul, they LOVE to shut him up right in the middle of his explanation.

  • Ron Paul is like a voice from the past, a great President of olden days.... why did I find out about him only recently...shame on me...

  • Make the case why it SHOULD EXIST BITCH!!!!!!

  • Ron, Federal reserve must go down!!!

  • wake up america ur policy affects as all, u

  • Faz can smile all he wants but Ron Paul has the truth on his side bay-beh (baby fyi)

  • looks like the youngster needs to go back to school...

  • and what did school teach you? i bet 90% of your knowledge came from other sources (this is a critisizm of schools, not of your knowledge)

  • american public schools suck! I learned more in the few years after school than i did in all 12 of my years in school. (someone taught me how to learn.) So yes...your right. Either way ,the words (needs to go back to school) simply means that this dumb ass needs to go back and study a subject and know it before speaking on it. hagd!

  • @milkmantx

    Good thing that the majority fo youngsters can't vote.

    Then again, there are many american adults that are less smart then most youngsters, and grandpas to (mccain/trump/bush)

    This is a smart grandpa though:p

  • Smart is perhaps the wrong word, oh surely, ron is certainly smart.

    But he has alot more consent/morale and qualities then any other us candidate.

    He really sounds like a guy that puts actions to his promises.

    In the corruption of the white house, anything will be hard to change.

    Even for ron paul,

    No matter his qualitites, if he becomes president. I wouldnt be surprized if our army was still in the mid east after his presidency.

    But he has to represent the republican party, and thats the big

  • problem. He cant run as a third party, even as famous as paul is he wont get the publicity to win his personal election.

    Winning for the republican party would reform the republican party and solve a big american political problem.

    But those dickheads that occupy the (R) wing right now wont let him. They dont even know what africa is. So they have no right to judge others if they suffer from that kind of ignorance.

  • Not only does the (R) wing put serious people offside. Theyre risking the prosperity of their own country by being unable to make decisions. All those idiots like palin,mccain probably think that big macs and ben & jerrys rain from the heavens and are brought to you by god.

    Oh wait, the (R) wing doesnt even have a selected candidate yet.

    I surely hope the (R) wing wont be upgraded up to 2012.

    So there only left-over choice will be ron paul.

  • Ron paul will crush obama,

    Although I wouldnt feel bad if obama got re-elected. Preferably ron paul,

    atleast obama doesnt make things worse although is attempts up to now are abstemious.

    I hope he will do something in his promised plans for change. Like atleast close gitmo at the end of his presidency. He promised many things, and i know any change is hard to gain in the corruption we live.

    But do atleast something that you promised during the election.

    Up to now obama has only maintained

  • economy stability.

    he contracted to kill osama and succeeded.

    Please obama, cut the social, symphatic, professorial speeches. Your accurate, but innefective.

    Just shout your nigger lungs and tell them to do something.

    You tried your strategies obama, they dont work, please try something else now.

    Do something good, so ron paul can take-over

  • @Armigo91 Racism.. How can I possibly take you seriously.

  • Ron Paul makes this clown look ridiculous

  • They both make a good case. I'd have to say Paul has it right. You can't say the system is good and it's just the choices people make that makes it bad. Obviously having mythical control over the monetary system is bad. If it allows these people to screw things up, the system is wrong. Abolish it or at the very least nationalize the Fed. Give it back to the treasury. Give it back to the people.

  • I agree with you, but there is another step, accounting. Through secrecy and slight of hand, the military black budget, for example, gets funded. Even the Congress does not know how much and where exactly this money goes. The money can be as good as gold, but it has to be accounted for and therefore properly voted upon/approved by Congress, representatives of the people.

  • the fed is unconstitutional!! abolish it!!!

  • The reality of Ron Paul is that he doesn't care for the middle class. He wants to deregulate the markets and have more of a free for all market system. The problem with that is it will come down to the have and have-nots. Result being more monopolys and poverty. Pauls heart is in the right place but he is no expert on money or the economy.

  • hahahahahahaha. He's been a US congressman for 20 years and saw this recession coming long ago... as have a lot of economists that the mainstream media have ignored.

    Our economy is based entirely on psychology now, it's literally all bubbles now, look at the US economic history, the recessions and booms. It's unstable. Obama's bill is only creating another huge bubble - with inflation.

    And Shakir equates the fed with the presidency a constitutional office with an un-constitutional one. FAIL

  • Historical precedent shows that this is false. This class war theory, though quite popular these days, is unsubstantiated.

    Although I'm sure a lot of people would like to see what economic evidence you can show to support those claims.

  • 702decatur, I challenge you to do two things. First, define the middle class and second define monopoly. As it stands, your comment is irrational and misguided.

  • Challenge me lol.. If you want to participate in this conversation you need to offer something I am not doing your homework. Its not my fault you cant follow the conversation.

    "irrational and misguided" Why don't your define this statement and quote which of my words fit in this statement.

  • You asked for it. The reality is that the government as it stands does not care about that middle class. ( I will define the middle class as households with annual incomes between 50k and 500k; the range of income that carries the largest tax burden) It seems as though big government, the fed., war, and recent legislation is "the work of a comparatively few individuals using the present standing government as their tool." ( Thoreau in "civil disobedience") Where big business benefits from

  • fluctuating interest rates, federally funded bailouts, and natural resource infrastructure reconstruction (halliburton in Iraq. And where the financial burden is primarily carried by those that work the hardest in this country. The problem is that regulating industry has backfired. While some regulations regarding the working conditions of the working class are beneficial, be mindful that all legislation passed by congress is pushed through by lobbying groups. In this system, whoever has the

  • most money, can get the most done. Furthermore, a monopoly occurs when an "enterprise has sufficient control over a particular product or service to determine significantly the terms on which other individuals shall have access to it" ( Milton Friedman (2002). "VIII: Monopoly and the Social Responsibility of Business and Labor" (in English) (paperback). Capitalism and Freedom (40th anniversary edition ed.). The University of Chicago Press. pp. 208. ISBN 0-226-26421-1.) By this definition it

  • is obvious that the federal reserve is just that. I did not intend to insult 702decatur with the terms "irrational and misguided," I only wished to illicit a response. Please accept my apology, I'm sorry I offended you. Assuming that you are an intelligent free thinking individual I would appreciate your thoughts on this matter.

  • lolwut?

  • Why wasn't he elected? It's either we're a dumb country or an uninformed one. I really hope it's the latter. His ideas on foreign policy (diminish our ego as world police) and economic policy (eliminate Fed, and strengthen value of our money) creates the perfect American dream. I guess the emotions derived from "war on terror," credit crisis (by the way was created by the fed) and historical candidates, that we missed the true logic of real government.

  • Our mainstream media is complete spin and propaganda. The idea that our economic system is bad is a dangerous one to a lot of very powerful people. Banks are in bed with gov't who are in bed with the multinationals who are in bed with the media and the congress and senate and candidates.

  • That lady agreed with Dr. Paul on this.

  • Did anyone notice that Shakir didn't debate the fact that the FED is unconstitutional? He avoided that first point made by Dr. Paul and tried to defend the Federal Reserve on the basis of stability it creates. Laughable.

  • seen a video on the US dollar value that dated back to like the early 1700's. it showed that every time they went off the gold standard for the american rev., civil war, etc. inflation crept in but prices returned back to normal when they scrapped the paper. a jug of milk cost the same in 1850 as it did in 1700. thats what i call price stability. once the fed was created inflation became a fact of life. shakir seems to think that this system can go on in perpetituity.

  • HA HA HA, its funny cause its true.

  • INFLATION = TAX ON MIDDLE CLASS

  • it is illegal via the constitution, so how can it be allowed to continue? if it didnt exsist it wouldnt matter who ran it, it wouldnt exsist! LESS GOVRNMENT

  • END THE FED!

    I wish Ron Paul was our President NOW!

    Impeach Obama!

  • here here you have my vote!

  • The guy debating Ron Paul looked shocked at the end.

    He's presented as an expert, and it looked like he actually thought the FED was created AFTER the Great Depression....I thought so too until I head Ron Paul correct him....it makes me wonder how many myths we've been taught and who started these myths?

  • yeah me too in my limited knowledge of markets, i thought that central economic planning was actually a product of bretton woods.

  • WOW!!! The arguements of Faiz Shakir seemed to make sense at the time, but with our burst bubble economy of today, it seems that Ron Paul was DEAD ON!!!

  • What and where is the empirical evidence of inflation or weak dollar ?

  • Check up for figures on the internet of the worth of the dollar compared to what it used to be.

  • So the same Republican taking heads like Newt Gingrich, Dick Armey, Hannity, Rush Limbaugh and their corporate donors are sponsoring Ron Paul Tea Bagging events on April 15 ?

  • For one it controls the FDIC, which ensures the safety of your money in the bank, without we wouldn't just be have investment banking failures. We would all be running to the bank to pull our money and the banks would be folding. The Fed is an easy target because few people truly understand it, but in truth its goods far outweigh its negatives. The notion that the market never needs intervention has proved false time and time again. Just look at the 1880s and 1890s, and 1920-30s.

  • Farstriker- Define "money" and the origins thereof. Thanks.

  • Well bluntly money, is the medium of exchange which is printed and exchanged by the Federal reserve in order to facilitate trade and the benefits produced as a result. I assume you were getting at something else, perhaps you can clarify.

  • I wish I could set up a laboratory America and make Ron Paul the president just to see what would happen. It would have some great points and some terrible points. To be honest I think the economy and banking system would be a low point, his argument against the Fed here honestly shows his very dated sense of the macroeconomy.

  • how can you back that statement up "his argument against the Fed shows his very dated sense of macroeconomy" the Fed is evil. Name a good thing that it does

    Ron Paul 2012

  • Ron Paul 2012!!

  • That 'hotheaded slut' had a good grasp of what Ron Paul was saying, idiot. But I agree with you on Faz.

  • LOL the Muslim guy got pwned.

    Pwnage = 1000%

  • There shouldn't be any loans. You work, you save, you buy what you need with your money. The BIble is clear that borrowing and loaning money. Money should be gold or silver, not worthless paper. The A-holes that run the United States have nearly destroyed it. Abolish the Fed and get back to real money.

  • Bible says borrowing and loaning money is wrong.

  • The Bible also says "trust your Government" Romans 13.

    It would be nice if our Government were just not so corrupt.

    The corruption that runs rampant in D.C. is the root of all our troubles.

  • bible syas loaning money at interest is wrong. But lending money interest free is not wrong

  • Please quote me the scripture verse that says there's any difference.

  • You shall not charge interest to your brother — interest on money or food or anything that is lent out at interest.

    (Deuteronomy 23:20)

  • "President Bush has made a terrible amount of decisions over the past 7 years." Hahaha.

  • I cant believe that shmuk on the right, acts like he knows more than a guy (Ron Paul), the most honest man in washington.

  • The problem with Congressmen Paul's argument is if you followed through with it and abolished the Fed. Because the Fed isn't the only part of our government not authorized by the Constitution. Printing paper money, the Air Force, having a large standing Army for over 60 years, etc.

  • Dr. Paul will be on HBO's Real Time With Bill Maher - Friday at 10:00 pm ET

  • wow, that guy is rediculous....he equates abolishing the presidency to abolishing a unconstitutional private banking cartel system. its no wonder we are dealing with problems today with people like him voting....ron paul is the man

  • Ron Paul owned that guy.

    We need a standard for our currency.

    A fiat system is a fairytale.

  • america must have all dual citizens who work for the high place governments to be fired asap these people are not loyal to america and please bring back john f kennedy's EXECUTIVE ORDER 11110 this will bring america out of financial ruins......AMERICA FOR EVER

  • Amir is a boob

  • I don't like how they say "back" to the gold standard.

    Go forward to the gold standard!

  • Ron Paul made him his bitch. that guy is an idiot im 14 and could have out witted him

  • Truth is all you need at any age.

  • This guy said that Ron Paul was wrong to want to abolish the FED because they've made some bad decisions... wait a minute. Ron didn't say that at all. He said to get rid of em because they are illegal and immoral. So, as convincing as this guys arguement goes, you need to pay close attention to what they are both saying. He completely put words in Ron's mouth. He was simply going into this debate with that story the whole time no matter what Dr. Paul said. Said part is people will listen to him.

  • Holy fucking shit! Your right! Fruedian Slip? He admitted the fed's guilt on TV and you seemed to be the only one who noticed it.

    My point would be: They control our currency. They aren't allowed to make "bad decisions". This isn't a game, its real life.

  • Yes, 1912-1913. That Island should be blown up together with the Reserve back- these eggheads in power and decaying humanity almost 100 years too-long!

    Peace now!

    Peace=)

  • I don't blame this Shakir dude. He is just spewing out what the Keynesians told him in school. He has been brainwashed by Keynes. "The fed was required to stabilize the economy." What a joke and a half !! Ever heard of Jekyll Island ? Read up on it Shakir, you might learn something.....

  • i hate that dr.paul had to drop out, hopfully in 2012 he will be back, or someone like him. By the way is there anyone else like ron paul, and by like i mean a person who truly wants to uphold the constitution?
