We`ve got to go to Ron Paul now, Republican congressman from Texas, former presidential candidate. You, sir, are looking more and more right every day. You -- you have been ringing this bell for quite some time. And -- what do we do?

REP. RON PAUL (R), TEXAS: Well, you know, what you do politically is you bail everybody out. If you want to do good economics, you let people who made mistakes fail and cleanse the system and go back to work again. But in this town of Washington, it`s always bail out. And...

BECK: OK, but you don`t agree with that?

PAUL: No, no, I think it`s the wrong thing to do. It just prolongs the agony. I tried to warn them a few years ago and eliminate the line of credit to the treasury in predicting that this bubble is being built and blown up, and that this would come.

But no, it should be allowed to be liquidated. You know, the bad investments should be disposed of, and the debt should be eliminated. And it would have to be rough for about a year, but after that, everything would be OK again.

BECK: Do -- do you feel like -- I mean, honestly, it`s like if somebody has a brain tumor and they go to the doctor and they give them an aspirin, and then that stops working, they give them a Percocet. After that stops working, they give them some morphine. The patient is going to die.

The more Band-Aids we put on this system, the worse it becomes in the long run, right?

PAUL: You`re absolutely right, because the patient here is the dollar. And every time we bail out, whether it`s the Fed creating new credit or the Congress appropriating more money, it`s putting pressure on the dollar. And it`s the weakness of the dollar that is the real crisis.

So yes, it`s temporary, what they`re going to do, but ultimately, the patient can die, and that is the dollar. That is dangerous.

BECK: Do you think we`ll see that? Do you think there`s a chance, if we don`t change our ways, we`ll see that?

PAUL: It`s so hard for me to, you know, accept the idea that we`re that stupid. But then...

BECK: Let me ask you this, because I feel the same way. I believe in America, and I believe that Americans are smart. And I think Americans feel this in their gut. They know. But how long do we have to wake up our politicians before it just -- how close are we?

PAUL: Well, the time is running out. And nobody can predict the exact time. Nobody knew exactly -- see, I was worried about it five, six, seven years ago, and it took a long time. And they said, "Oh, you were worried about nothing." So right now, I`m more worried than ever.

But conceivably, if we do the wrong things and there`s an emergency crisis overseas or there`s a foreign policy crisis, this would end quickly. I mean, the world could dump dollar, and that is something that we are not prepared for.

BECK: How much do you think -- I hate to be a conspiracy guy, but I read enough history to know, you know, the turn of the century, and I don`t trust the Fed probably almost as much, if not as much as you -- you don`t trust the Fed. How much of this is a power grab by the Fed?

PAUL: Well, I think it is. And it`s -- it`s shared by the Congress, you know. Congress is going along with it, passing all new regulations and new appropriations.

But, yes, there are individuals who are both sincere in believing that they`re supposed to manage the economy, and there`s others who like to control natural resources in the financial industry, and they always bail out their friends. So it`s a little bit of each.

BECK: Let me -- let me ask you a question that maybe you wouldn`t want to answer. Are you -- let me rephrase this. How do you -- how do you do it? You have been run through the mill. I don`t agree with you on everything, but on finances, I do agree on. And you`ve been right on finances. And America is just catching up to you. How -- how do you do it? Are you -- do you ever get so frustrated that you`re just like, I can`t -- I can`t ring this bell anymore?

PAUL: You know, I never use the word "frustration." I tell people I just have low expectations, and all of my job is -- is to try to point out the truth as I understand it. You know, according to our Constitution and according to sound economic policy.

And I`ve been a student of Austrian economics. And I believe they`re right, and I`m convinced they are. And I believe that you shouldn`t have paper currencies, and I just argue from that case with the full conviction it`s the right issue.

You know, I don`t worry about tomorrow and the next day and where the people are going to believe. I`m, as a matter of fact, pretty pleased and surprised in the last year so that so many people have begun to listen. So I`m pleased about that.

BECK: More and more, and you give it -- you give it another couple of years, and it`s going to be outrageous. Congressman Paul, thank you very much.

Seriously that was awesome and Glenn Beck gave him a greatinterview too.

Go Ron Paul!

Man was born to be free and independent

Just his last two/three questions. Said he would make an announcement in September about his support-hopefully it will be for HIMSELF.
