I am a Republican who puts principle before party. That's the difference. If you think that's wrong, that's up to you.

[Bubba Dewy]

I like & respect Adam Kokesh but you are right. Nobody has the right to say "I'm pulling your card" here. I've followed Jack Hunter for a while now and he is 100% right to say "our movement" here because Jack Hunter has stood for libertarianism and has done an outstanding job of doing so for quite some time. While I humbly respect the concept of "no compromise" the fact is (politically speaking) you will never get anywhere without compromise. Neither Rand nore Hunter have compromised principle.

Adam, stfu. You sound like a child.

[The666Steppenwolf]

Actually Rand Paul did not endorse any war.

even the Rothbard you show here(whom Rand Paul knew personally since a kid) endorsed various republicans,some of them you may not like:

Pat Buchanan,and David Duke.

I am all for Rand Paul,i think he is communicating with the right,he can be successful and change american politics.'

He could be a star for change by moving confortably into the reality of politics.

And i still much like Jack Hunter. Like he said once :

Are we ready for prime time?

How is the Iranian air-force send two fighter jets to attack a U.S. plane that was flying over international waters not a provocation of war? According to international law it most definitely is. Yet you said @ 0:54 that imposing sanctions was unprovoked!? Please, any other country would have retaliated violently. Don't be naive...

[Ron Smith]

You are wrong Adam. The Liberty movement would be nowhere without Dr. Paul and he is not really a libertarian either. He wants to define legal personhood at conception as an example. So when Jack Hunter says "our movement" he may not mean "your movement", but he certainly means the Ron Paul Liberty movement that is taking over the GOP.

KOKESH IS SEXY ON TV

[JoeyR9669]

Rand Paul 2016!!! He will win by a landslide.

[LordoftheKaty]

Jack Hunter should not be trusted

[Bubba Dewy]

I've supported Ron Paul for several years now and ever since he ran for office in 2009 I've been a Rand Paul supporter. I've followed Jack Hunter for a few years now too. I agree with Jack Hunter here. The fact is Ron Paul's time in office is about up and Rand is (I believe) going to be a BIG part of the Liberty movement in the future. Rand was in a damned if you do & damned if you don't situation with his endorsement and I believe he made what he felt was the best move for his political future.

[PetaChic]

Kokesh is kicking Hunter out of the movement? Wow I didn't realize Kokesh was the almighty king of the liberty movement and possessed such authority. Who's being a statist now?
