Liberty Maven

Ron Paul appeared on Fox Business channel earlier this afternoon. He, again, reiterates his free market solutions to our economic woes.

The latest installment of Judge Andrew Napolitano’s simply awesome online show “Freedom Watch” aired today. His guests included Glenn Beck, Shepard Smith, Ron Paul, Peter Schiff, Lew Rockwell, and David Boaz (CATO).

Glenn Beck kicked off the show via phone and discussed the AIG nonsense. The Judge had a few choice words for Andrew Cuomo and his “influencial” tactics.

Ron Paul came on with about 10 minutes left in the show. The Judge asked him about his and others tough questioning of Geithner and Bernanke yesterday. Schiff asked the same question I had for Paul yesterday about asking a question right away to allow for follow up questions rather than using up the time pontificating and asking a question at the end.

2:30 – 3:00 Ron Paul (from DC), Peter Schiff, and David Boaz (live from CATO)

Possibly other last minute guests as well.

The topics for the week will be: U.S. power to seize firms, possible 15 year depression, discussion of Austrian School of Economics, preview of Campaign for Liberty, St. Louis conference and much, much more.

Ron Paul appeared on the Fox Business Channel this afternoon for a short interview. The host opens the interview with the easiest question in the world for Ron Paul, “What is the one thing that lead to the economic mess, in your opinion?”

Ron Paul answers, “Easy money”, and then elaborates a bit.

Ron Paul followed up this morning’s interview on Glenn Beck’s radio show with an appearance on Beck’s TV show this afternoon. They covered the same topics for the most part, although the radio interview was certainly more detailed.

Judge Andrew Napolitano is one if the few publicly vociferous voices in the wilderness, crying out for the masses to pay attention to how the Federal Government is overstepping its bounds with regards to the document that created it: the U.S. Constitution.

Napolitano is host to one of the hottest new shows on the ‘net, FreedomWatch, which airs every Wednesday at 2pm, and features notable guests such as Ron Paul, Peter Schiff, Lew Rockwell, Rand Paul, John Lott, Andrew Levy, Cody Willard, Mark Skousen, and more.  The archives are always available at FreedomWatchOnFOX.com.

In a recent article by the Judge, entitled Can Congress Write Any Laws It Wants?, he discusses government’s propensity to violate natural law and violate its Constitutional boundaries.  He sums it up nicely:

Is freedom a reality or a myth? Are the rights guaranteed in the Constitution real or just a pretense? Isn’t the whole purpose of government in a free society to uphold rights rather than interfere with them? If the answers to these questions are no longer obvious, it is because we have a central government whose only self-acknowledged limitation is whatever it can get away with.

The situation has slowly gotten out of hand, beginning with the days of Alexander Hamilton, and ramping up more quickly since 9/11/2001.

Read what Judge Napolitano has to say:

“Some men think the Earth is round, others think it flat… But, if it is flat, will the King’s command make it round? And if it is round, will the King’s command flatten it? … NO.”

When Robert Bolt wrote that truism in his play A Man For All Seasons, his protagonist, Thomas More, was attempting to persuade the jury at his trial for high treason that all governments have limitations, and that the statute he was accused of violating was beyond Parliament’s lawful authority to enact. Sir Thomas was there appealing to the natural law as well as to the common sense of his jurors: The government can’t change the laws of nature. As we know, he fared no better than those who today argue that Congress is not omnipotent, has natural, moral, and constitutional limitations on its power, and every day fails to abide them.

Judge Napolitano’s show today was another great one. His guests included Alex Jones, Ron Paul, Peter Schiff, Lew Rockwell, Cody Willard, and Mark Skousen.

The show opened with Alex Jones cross-broadcasting the show on his own radio show for the first 10 minutes. The Judge then ranted for about 4 minutes regarding the Constitution and applying it to contract law (posted earlier).

Then Lew Rockwell enters the discussion about AIG and their bonuses. They bring in Peter Schiff and Dr. Ron Paul for the final 30 minutes.

I found the discussion very interesting because they all did not agree about whether or not the AIG bonuses should be returned and/or taxed.

I really hope the show is eventually added to the FOX News TV lineup.

This week’s episode of Freedom Watch with Judge Andrew Napolitano is in the bag. This week Ron Paul, Lew Rockwell, Peter Schiff, Campaign For Liberty President John Tate, Tracy Byrnes (from FBN), and John Stossel joined the Judge for more discussion on liberty.

They discussed Obama’s plan for education, the endless bailouts, and more. John Stossel joined the show during the final minutes via telephone and discussed his upcoming special on 20/20 Friday night at 10pm EST called “Bailouts, Big Spending, and Bull.”

Ron Paul was on for the first 15 minutes or so. John Tate joined during the last half hour. Please spread the playlist below around the net. And be sure to join the Facebook “Fans of Freedom Watch” group if you haven’t already.

Judge Napolitano’s Freedom Watch show number 4 went out over the net today from the Fox News Strategy Room online channel. Ron Paul kicked off the show with Lew Rockwell. They discussed several topics of note. Are Republicans playing politics or do they really believe in limited government suddenly? What about these FEMA Camps?

Next, John Lott and Larry Pratt are interviewed together. Unfortunately, my computer had a problem during this portion of the show and I missed most of the interview (about 10 minutes).

Then it was Ron Paul’s son Rand Paul’s turn to discuss his potential run for Senate in Kentucky. He reiterates that he will only run if Senator Bunning chooses not to run. Listening to Rand is a bit like listening to his father. He even uses some of the same phrases. To me he sounds just like a young Ron Paul. Even if he chooses not to run in 2010 I foresee him running at some point and I see him being successful.

Watch the always excellent show below (playlist with 6 parts). Please comment and rate the videos to help get this show more exposure for potential airing on FOX TV.
