GLENN: I thought I would get Ron Paul on the phone and find out where he stands on the economy, what the problems are with the economy, what he thinks is coming in our future and how he would correct it if he was President of the United States, and he's on with us now, hello, Ron Paul.

PAUL: Hello, nice to be with you.

GLENN: Nice to be with you, sir. First of all, tell me what's happening with the economy.

PAUL: Well, it's making the correction that was inevitable due to the malinvestment and the unbelievable debt accumulated due to a federal reserve policy. Once they create credit out of thin air, they cause business people, savers to do the wrong thing and you always have to have a correction. So dealing with the recession is very difficult because the cars with a few years ago and we have to work our way out of this, which means there has to be a correction.

Ok, can somebody tell me if we like Beck this week? Oh, and what about Tucker? Do we hate him or love him this week?

GLENN: I mean, honestly, I mean, Ron, you know, jeez. I don't want to sound like a conspiracy theorist but you know what, at times I believe I am a conspiracy theorist because there's a lot of stuff that just, if you read history and you go back all the way to Woodrow Wilson, you can see that the foundation was laid for one-world government, the foundation was laid for socialism, and I really, truly believe that these -- you know, Hillary Clinton says she's not a liberal, she's, quote, a modern day Progressive. Anybody who knows what a Progressive is, that is a nightmare. It is the road to socialism.

woah!

This is actually a really good interview. Hopefully they will redo this on Fox News later.

My favorite...

GLENN: I mean, you know, we just -- I just happen to disagree with you, but I respect you, sir, for your opinion. I have said this, you know, behind your back. So let me say it to your face. I think you are the closest we have running to a founding father. You seem to be the only guy who has actually read the federalist papers. So I appreciate your efforts, sir.

I like Glenn Beck. I just wish he was stronger on fighting terrorism =( Its unfortunate he advocates a strategy of emboldening terrorists and strengthening their cause.

Something I've always noticed is how RP begins almost every statement with "well". :D . Not like it's particularly significant or strange or anything.

WOW! Powerful meme... WE should start accusing the OTHER candidates of being soft on terrorism. After all, they support giving foreign aid to countries with terrorist ties, selling military weapons to countries that use them against our troops or sell them to countries who do. They have a history of supporting our enemies, such as Osama Bin Laden and Saddam Hussein. They have a history of supporting dictators, such as the Shah of Iran and Musharraf.


The NEO-CONS are SOFT ON TERROR!!!!


I like Glenn Beck. I just wish he was stronger on fighting terrorism =( Its unfortunate he advocates a strategy of emboldening terrorists and strengthening their cause.

Man, that interview was godly! It packed full of information and knowledge that too many people need to hear! Even though Glenn isnt supporting us because of his foreign policy, and will make a couple annoying statements at times, I cant help but love him sometimes for having such awesome interviews...

Absolutely awesome read, definitely something to show around!

I'm tellin' you guys, the conservatives need only remember their roots.

We can win if we simply get the conservatives to remember Ron Paul was who they were 1980, and who they still are today.

once the seed of ron paul has been planted its only a matter of time before you begin to agree with (support) him.

Ha Ha...We are a fickle bunch on this forum..aren't we.:p

Beck is not our ally. Tucker is as close as we will get I believe.

is basically, Pauls supporters are well read and know what is going on while others watch football games til 3 days before an election. No doubt in my mind that is simply why we are winning, people are uneducated to the facts.

I guess Glenn has issue with the founding fathers, because he will not support RP.

I despise Glenn Beck and think he is complete scum.

1) He supports the War in Iraq and a war against Iran.
2) He supports the Patriot Act.
3) He supports giving up freedom for security.
4) He supports the "War on Drugs."

4) He supports the "War on Drugs."

And he's more worried about continuing the war than fixing the economy.

Excellent! Some good stuf today! Economic troubles, and that's what we need to push economic solution, Ron Paul!

You know I don't exactly share all Glenn's ideas, but never the less we should thank him for giving Ron Paul a fair shake.

Scum can vote.

That's why Paul didn't get double digits in the New Hampshire primary.

If someone says "I like a lot of what Paul has to say, but disagree with him on some issues" you'll accomplish a lot more by talking to that person about the issues he agrees on than attacking him about the issues he disagrees on.

They are both RP supporters.

There isn't another conservative in the race anymore.

great interview, but it almost seems like beck is trying to bait Ron here.

GLENN: We can get into that some other time. I really want to focus on the economy and the gold standard. You are one of the only people that is talking about the return of the gold standard. It was -- I mean, honestly, I mean, Ron, you know, jeez. I don't want to sound like a conspiracy theorist but you know what, at times I believe I am a conspiracy theorist because there's a lot of stuff that just, if you read history and you go back all the way to Woodrow Wilson, you can see that the foundation was laid for one-world government, the foundation was laid for socialism, and I really, truly believe that these -- you know, Hillary Clinton says she's not a liberal, she's, quote, a modern day Progressive. Anybody who knows what a Progressive is, that is a nightmare. It is the road to socialism.

Do you believe that there is any intentional intent to take us down these roads and bankrupt us because anybody with a clue would know what's coming around the corner with Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid and I don't know how you can say I want to do universal healthcare as well.

PAUL: You know, I guess there's a lot of evidence for that. It's awfully tempting. I always try to say, well, they are doing it out of ignorance and lack of understanding of how the market economy works rather than saying, oh, I'd like to bring on a Depression. I think they actually believe that they are good managers. Alan Greenspan once told me -- because he used to be a gold standard person and he's written very well about that in his early years. But he says, no, he says, we central bankers have learned to make paper money act as if it's gold. You know, they come to believe in themselves that there is good and they can manage as well as the market, and I told him after that, I said, you know, if you do that, this will be the first time in all of history that anybody could do that, you know, to make paper money act like gold money.

You know, you should never be embarrassed about the gold standard because one of our most favorite Presidents, Ronald Reagan, told me personally once, he says, you know, he says, I'm interested in gold because, he says, if you study history, you find out any great nation that has gotten off the gold standard will no longer remain great. And we just got off the gold standard totally in 1971 and if you look at the statistics, in '71 when it comes to spending and deficits and inflation and the value of the dollar, I mean, they're dramatic. And I just want to make sure we wake up before the dollar totally collapses because that is a real tragedy if we let that happen.


He of course answered it, great.
