Freedom Watch 6 with Ron Paul, Alex Jones, Peter Schiff, Lew Rockwell and more

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.

Watch the full hour below.

March 10th, 2009 7:02 pm  |  by  |  Published in Activism, Andrew Napolitano, John Stossel, Lew Rockwell, Liberty, Peter Schiff, Ron Paul  |  1

Judge Napolitano continues his liberty power hour, Freedom Watch, tomorrow afternoon at 2pm EST. This week he welcomes one of the main stream media’s best free market libertarians John Stossel. No doubt they will discuss Stossel’s upcoming special on 20/20 Friday night called “Bailouts, Big Spending, and Bull”, among other topics.

The Judge also brings back Ron Paul, Lew Rockwell, Peter Schiff, and Tracy Byrnes (from Fox Business Channel). Also joining the crew will be Campaign For Liberty President John Tate.

The show has been a big hit on the Internet and YouTube. The ultimate goal is to try to get the show on the Fox News TV channel so please show the Fox Execs how much you support the show by doing the following:

  1. Tune In tomorrow at 2pm EST at http://foxnews.com/strategyroom
  2. Once the YouTube videos are posted spread them far and wide.

As The Judge says at the end of the show, “Stay free.”

Judge Napolitano’s Freedom Watch 4: Ron Paul, Rand Paul, John Lott, Larry Pratt, Peter Schiff and more

March 4th, 2009 11:43 pm  |  by  |  Published in Activism, Andrew Napolitano, Bailouts, Banking, Big Government, Constitution, Debt, Economics, Federal Reserve, FOX news, Free Market, gold standard, government spending, Gun Control, Individual Responsibility, inflation, Lew Rockwell, Liberty, Market Regulation, Money, Peter Schiff, Ron Paul  |  0

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.

Stimulation by Government

March 3rd, 2009 12:01 pm  |  by  |  Published in Bailouts, Big Government, Economics, government spending, Individual Responsibility, Lew Rockwell, Liberty, Market Regulation, Obama, Politics  |  0

As is often the case, Lew Rockwell is right on the mark when he takes Obama’s policies to task in his most recent article at the Ludwig von Mises Institute.  He points out that Obama and his team clearly fail to realize that freedom is the foundation of and the reason for social and economic flourishing, and in fact they operate as though the opposite were true.  At the same time, the general populace (especially those who have high hopes for the Obama presidency) seem to think that the nation’s leader can solver all of our ills through sheer will.  And of course, the so-called “economic stimulus” doesn’t stimulate the economy; it merely  stimulates the government.

Read the article:

The great failing of the Obama administration is that it is packed with people who show no apparent knowledge of the essential truths of liberal theory. That theory — which is the core of the American political contribution to, and the driving force of, modernity itself — is that freedom is the foundation of and the reason for social and economic flourishing. All evidence suggests they know nothing of this.

Obamites hold the opposite view, the one advanced by the pharaohs and emperors of old, all the way through the Talibans and Hugo Chavezes of our own time. It is the view that nothing is beyond the competence of the state and its great leader. Particularly in economic affairs, these people have a wildly inflated view of what the nation’s chief executive can accomplish through sheer will.

Liberal theory teaches that one truism of government is that whatever it does, the results end up making the problem not better but worse. [Continue]

Judge Napolitano’s great new show “Freedom Watch” aired its second show today. Lew Rockwell joined last week’s guests Ron Paul, Peter Schiff, Cody Willard, and others for an hour of free market discussion.

They discuss Obama’s stimulus bill in detail, lament its unconstitutionality and the tactics used in getting it passed. This show is a dream come true for all freedom lovers. Perhaps one day FOX will add it to their regular television lineup.

The weekly show airs online at http://foxnews.com/strategyroom at 2pm EST.

Watch the entire hour below in 6 parts.

Note: The videos were captured from the online web stream so there may be a few sections with video lag. Thanks to the show’s producer George Szucs for permitting the show to be captured and posted here and on YouTube, in fact he encouraged it.
