Shocking FOX News Interview with Ron Paul


Chris Wallace interviewed Ron Paul on FOX News Sunday. Chris Kozlowski sends along the below clip and writes:

I just sat through probably the best interview Ron Paul’s ever had. At one point Chris Wallace asked Ron Paul “What is Austrian economics and who were Mises and Hayek?”

I nearly fell out of my chair.

The video is close to 15 minutes so if you want to skip straight to the Austrian economics question you can go to 10:40.

    ANYONE who is in favor of amnesty will NOT get my vote!

    Ron is spot on regarding FEMA. I've volunteered in tornado cleanups and as soon as FEMA moves in and takes over and changes the effort into a mini-bureaucracy, the volunteers and church groups move out. We don't NEED FEMA. All they do is hamper volunteerism and blow money uselessly. Their whole pupose appears to be to build poiliticalmcontacts at the expense of sabotaging recovery efforts!

    Ron Paul is an isolationist, like in world war 2 he would turn his back until we are attacked. Also he would not have went after Bin Laden his own words. He also is not a freind of Israel. That is enough for me. I believe he approves legalizing illegal drugs also.

    Maybe this guy is finally catching on! Maybe Paul will be our next president!

    The more I listen to Ron Paul, the more he makes sense. He espouses virtues and the principles of liberty and limited government like our founding fathers spoke of, in which this great country was founded upon. We need to restore liberty, self-reliance, personal responsibility, accountability and honor back to America. It’s up to us, we the people, to speak out and speak up about the common sense solutions this country so desperately needs and Ron Paul holds those solutions. I’m a Christian conservative and it’s becoming clear why Ron Paul is and has been dismissed and even chastised for his solutions by the liberal/progressive press and the republican establishment is because his solutions are true and therefore an existential threat to their NWO agenda. Ron Paul 2012 – the clear choice.

    Just hearing that Al Qaeda now has control of Tripoli, Libya will bring more doubters to Ron Paul. NATO & the USA went into Libya because of economic decisions (fact) and seeing how they have empowered our supposed enemy…..America will see Ron Paul’s Non-Imperialistic Foreign Policy will become more Populist. Our Middle East & Africa Policy reminds me of the movie RED DAWN, but THEY are fighting US because we have been invading them for 60 years and propping up dictators.

    If the shoe were on the other foot here in the USA, we would be going after our invaders. Americans need to think from both sides and “not” rose-colored glasses!

    Ron Paul is great , I just don't agree with his libertarian philosiphy enough to support him over Bachmann but he is a very close second choice for me . I don't like any of the republicans hacks like Romney or even Perry for that matter . I like what perry says but don't know if I can trust him . I could throw perry much farther than I could trust him so he is not even on my radar .. I liked Herman cain until he softened his stance on the muslim threat . So for me it is still Bachmann / Palin ,

  • J Hugh Nichols

    I am beginning to like Ron Paul more and more. He tells it like it is and has reasonable responses and solutions to all problems I have heard him express.

  • McKannick

    Paul’s isolationist ideas are interesting and frightening at the same time. One can speculate that pulling our military out of the hundreds of foreign locations they currently station troops in would be a good thing for the military and the defense budget. If those foreign stations wanted our troops there, then make THEM pay us to be there to be their ‘hired guns’, instead of US being drained to bolster their defenses. Like in Korea for the past 60 years. On the other hand, isolationism didn’t work out so well in the past to keep us out of wars. But our troops would be more useful in sealing the southern border than mucking about in foreign deserts, because the enemy can and will use the southern border to walk across a nasty present for the USA at some point.
    On the legalizing pot issue, do you realize that because of the failed ‘war on drugs’, the USA has the absolute highest percentage of population in prison of any society on the planet? Tax the junk, just like smokes and booze which are legal, but ruin your health and kill people constantly from drunk drivers. Just start right out with the same heavy penalty or double them for DUI whether you’re drunk or stoned.

    When people listen to RON PAUL intead of listen to what is said about RON PAUL, they are pretty easily won over. That is what did it for me. I was at the Iowa straw poll and heard Dr. Paul speak. He made perfect sense when his reasons for his positions are explained. The media has done a hatchet job on him taking his statements on foriegn policy, and his libertarain stance on other issues and (basically) misrepresenting them.

  • afrraid to expand

    I don't know…he keeps talking about satisfying the deficit. I think down size for the deficite and put the money towards the debt. Stop covering crumby programs on my dime. Downsize, get it.

  • Robert

    Look at all the good FEMA did in New Orleans . Paid visa cards for $2500 each with a lot of it being spent in Strip Clubs , $1000 peruses , Booze , and a lot of other EXTRAS.
    All those Trailers that set and are still setting in fields going to wast . The payments to people who never lived in New Orleans.

    I don't really like Ron Paul but will vote for anyone but Diaper Head Obama .

    Chris Wallace was lame in the Iowa debate. I do not like him

  • Libertarian58

    All I can say is if we don't all band together and elect RON PAUL this time, the country is FINISHED. I can't put it any more plainly than this.

  • Faith

    I like this man. He is so no nonsense. He is consistent in his ideas and speaks like a man with real convictions. But can someone tell me once again what is feeling is about creationism vs. evolution? Does he feel they should both be taught in schools as theories?

  • Esther

    I am greatly impressed by this interview! Before today I only heard Ron Paul in the debates. I thought he was too emotional and that made him looked so nervous and he talked too much. Today he stayed on the topics and he made an excellent presentation on all the points asked. I agree with him on foreign policy, FEMA and even the Austrian issue. I might vote for him. I am still waiting for Palin to run.

  • tncdel

    Ron Paul is right on most things. But one crucial area where he sucks big time is on domestic National Defense. See: http://www.sodahead.com/united-states/did-you-alr

    This country will never have a better chance to change and restore our nation to a free and Constitutional one again, than with Ron Paul. If he was president, and given the Patriot Act to act upon, I bet he would react much differently than oldbama, perry, romney would!!! And already he is rather anti-FEMA which is a wonderful deal. Sounded very good with Wallace didn't he. Well, with faith prayers are answered, so I can hope for the worth of him to reach our voters.

  • Robert

    Ron Paul is the only one that inspires me to think positively about the future. He has consistently been on the mark whether economically or foreign policy wise. But above all ….. I TRUST him totally – he tells the truth and has for decades. Ron Paul 2012.
