- "Should we be pro-Israel or pro-Arab or anti-Israel or anti-Arab? ... But I think there's a third option to this that we so often forget about-why can't we be pro-American?" then-U.S. Rep. Ron Paul said on the House floor in 2001. Amid a new surge in violence in the region, is Paul's message still relevant?
Watch the full replay of Zach Weissmueller and Liz Wolfe's live conversation with political science scholar Max Abrahms: • What happens next in t...
Ron Paul: Best president we were not allowed to have.
Max completely ignores the whole point. He's got word salad to justify endless money. Ron Paul was right. End all foreign aid.
And, most importantly, these two frauds let him do it.
Ron Paul was (and still is) ALWAYS right. Funny how we must borrow the money for ourselves but GIVE it to other countries to foment war, requiring us to BORROW money to directly intervene? His clarity has really been a game changer.
Correct
that will never happen as long is Jewish lobbying ends in the US unfortunately
@@wasabijones4571 You mean until it ends, right? Except I don't like calling it "Jewish lobby", the criminals pushing this stuff don't represent Judaism, any more than the Pharma lobby, surely all run by white people, represents all white people.
There are plenty of Jews who don't support what that lobby advocates.
Call them the Zionist lobby or something.
“Is Ron Paul right about __________?” YES!
Random Politician: "Should government... ?"
Ron Paul: "NOPE!"
Why would this be a question? Ron Paul was/is right about everything
I’m a leftist, and as politicians go Ron Paul is 100x more my hero than Bernie Sanders ever was.
Btw socialism doesn't work
liberals used to be about freedom. I miss that
@@thatf_inguy8220 I’m nowhere near a liberal. I’m left-libertarian.
Read Kropotkin, an excellent left-libertarian.
Left libertarians shouldn’t even use the title libertarian… the term was coined by Murray Rothbard
@@mannyruiz8493 False. And you sound like a right-authoritarian.
Kropotkin was way before Rothbard. I _already_ mentioned him- and you didn’t bother to look him up.
But Max Abrams didn’t respond to Ron Paul’s most salient points. We should all wonder why.
Because he doesn't have a response. Ron Paul was right.

@@therealjohneason lmao. Then they aren’t _answers_ Mitt!
Because it's in his best interests not to answer it
It's Ron Paul, so automatically, yes, he's right. Literally everything he said was going to happen if we didn't change our foreign, domestic, and economic policies, has happened
Like anyone, Ron Paul gets little bits wrong here and there. He was wrong about fractional reserve banking and the gold standard, for example. Bad influence by Rothbard. But, fortunately, he's also been influenced by Friedman and Hayek, so even then he gets more right than wrong.
@@KAZVorpal No, YOU'RE wrong. Ron Paul is ALWAYS right. He is ESPECIALLY right about fractional reserve banking and the gold standard.
@@williamclayton9566 No, Rothbard was catastrophically wrong on those two things, and it's unfortunate that Paul sometimes references them. Hayek, Mises, and Friedman were correct.
@@KAZVorpal Mises, Rothbard and Hoppe are right. You are a enemy of liberty.
@@williamclayton9566Ron Paul is right, even when people say he is wrong, because when they say he is wrong it's usually because they are parroting a lie they believed that came from the Establishment be it the media, their classroom or some faulty interpretation they got that was indirectly influenced by their environment
People crap on Ron Paul about the Federal Reserve, because they can't fathom that it's useless in a free market system and that it only works well in crony Capitalism with a nepotistic elite
Take a jar, tape a piece of paper to it that says Ron Paul was right, then buy a new jar because you're probably going to fill that one up.
Max could end the conflict just by talking everyone to sleep
Max is a Zionist
As usual, Ron is the under-appreciated voice of reason.
Anyone who says that Adolf Hitler and Hirohito should be allowed to rule the world is no voice of Reason.
"Comes at a very low price to the United States..." 😂 a low price would be STAYING OUT OF FOREIGN CONFLICTS.
I know right. Why are we giving money to countries entangled in nuanced regional conflicts that we don't have the ability to solve? When you're $33Trillion in debt, you can't afford to be spending money on this crap.
Let’s see how cheap it is if that aircraft carrier goes benthic.
Trillions of dollars is low cost, brah. lol
Yes. Ron Paul is right
Yes conversation over
Foreign aid appears NOWHERE in Article 1 Section 8 of the US Constitution. Every penny of foreign aid is UNCONSTITUTIONAL
it's considered a foreign entanglement, treason.
@@jackstiles458 Treason is defined by the Constitution and it doesn't mean what you think it means.
Foreign aid should be voluntary. Their's plenty of private organizations and corporations that give money to Israel and that's the way it should be done.
ofc they wont use their own money as much😂

Love how Abrahms totally ignores the initial question. Should run for president.
Is he a shoe? Dafuq was that response? Aren't footwear people suppossed to be even higher IQ than us?
And note how the Reason shills let him do it.
He's such an NPC.
@@KAZVorpal They oftentimes have non-libertarian people on for interviews.
It wouldn’t surprise me if they released a video in a couple days directly criticizing some of what he said. They’ve done that before.
@@jebediahkerman8245 lmao seems like it
I don’t need to listen to it to know the answer is yes
3:34 The question: What do you think about pulling aid to both sides? Max's response: I'm not going to directly answer that, but I will say Biden is doing good...
Was this interview helpful to anyone?
To me actually. Abrahms is a jew warmonger. He has allegiance to Israel, not America. Therefore he should get out and never be allowed to come back.
I like the part where he gave a point by point response to Ron Paul.
Right?! The typical leftist.
@@albowrx Well I do not exactly think this guy is leftist.
@@MasterArkannor Thats what leftists do. This guy is obviously a zionist, which i could care less for also.
The timestamp for that is 12:17 for those of you looking for that.
@@christophermetz5789You got me 😅
Anyone else tired of hearing people who are unwilling or unable to respond directly to a question??
Yes. He was the only voice of reason in DC for a long time. I recall the day I knew our country was doomed was when he said we need to live by the golden rule and was booed on stage. I just knew we were ripe for judgement in that moment
So true
Of course Ron Paul was right. Countries cannot be enemies, only people can. Countries are abstract concepts, not biological thinking beings. Wars are not possible unless people dehumanize the residents of a country by treating them (even children and pets) as a unit. No money should be given to political leaders, especially if it was extorted from those who earned it. No president represents me accurately and few in Congress, and if I was in another country their leader would not represent me either. I know lots and lots of people who would manage international relationships better than any political process and they would do it with their own money and with donor support. We should have a neutral foreign policy and stop our magical thinking that we can mandate peace through political force and bribery paid from stolen funds.
Zach: “What do you think about Ron Paul’s points?” Max: “these attacks were bad” 😂
Yes. Ron Paul is so rational here. Americans have gotten used to indulging in understandable outrage, then financing and projecting power to assuage it.
The problem we’ve seen again and again is that we don’t understand the local conditions enough to avoid making it worse. Also there’s no constitutional authorization for military action without a declaration of war.
And while I appreciate I Abrams’ historical account, I don’t think it answers Ron Paul’s larger point.
Ron Paul was always right.
STILL IS!! 😄
"Why can't we be pro American?" I have been asking that for a long time...
Because Americans don't run this country.
Based
@@albowrx Clearly.
Always be neutral in the gang states wars.
Neutral? You mean ignorant?
"Israel has shared very similar enemies with the US"... Hmmm, I guess that's just a bit of serendipity there.
"Israel is the US' only ally in the middle east!!" Before Israel invaded Palestine, the US had NO enemies in the middle east.
Classic 2 step answer to a question that every politician uses. Don't answer the question, but use it as a platform to make the statement you want. Disappointing from someone claiming to be a scholar.
Other commenters have the valid critiques of Max covered, so I'd like point out he sounds like the world's most depressed muppet. I hope he finds the help he needs.
😂😂😂😂
"Was Ron Paul right about-" Yes.
Ron Paul is right. Why should the US give money to others? At a minimum we should have solved the majority of our problems before we start telling others how to fix theirs.
Ron Paul is right always has been. We shouldn’t be policing anyone’s problems only our own. Hey I like Jewish, European, Japanese people etc. but their problems and wars are not my problems. My problems are here in the U.S. my government Is becoming more and more tyrannical and we are concerned with others problems more than our own.

Could you please never again ask Max Abrahms to your show? He answered nothing, just recited talking points. Total waste of time.
At least this guy opened by unequivocally stating that he wasn't answering the question he was just asked. Usually people in political interviews try to pretend that they're not dodging questions.
Its amazing how whenever anything happens there is always a ron paul video predicting it. Dude is the Simpsons of politics.
Reason did its levelbbest to tank Ron Paul's 2008 presidential run, so I'm not surprised the panelists didn't press Abrahms to ANSWER THE DAMNED QUESTION.
tReasonTV Fake libertarians.
Recently I heard Ron Paul's kind of position called "aggressively neutral"
Remember George Washington? Ron Paul could have just quoted him and said, "See? No entangling alliances." Done.
Its a no brainer as an outsider that providing less aid to countries like Israel and prioritize your own country should be the right thing to do.
The US aid to palestine has been marginal in comparison to the aid provided to Isreal to help support their illegal occupation in the middle east and their persistent killing of thousands of innocent kids and women through out each year.
He makes total sense. But how can America keep the Military-Industrial Complex going without giving them aid so they can buy 'the' military weapons?
Ron and Rand are two of the most sensible people that have ever been in office. And people think they are kooks. Insane.
Ron Paul is right about approximately everything he says. Reason coukd learn a lot from him about Libertarian values.
reason has never really liked Ron Paul. The title and its implications is the nicest they've been in my memory. And I've been reading reason for 4 decades.
C'mon Reason wtf are you doing? Why did you clip this part from the longer discussion? The guy didnt even answer the question that was asked. And his answer was completely incoherent and pointless. Is Reason trying to get bought out by NBC? The content on here has been awful for the last 6 years at least.
Thank you REASON TV for running this. It's amazing how often Ron Paul is STILL right about so many issues. Yes, I'm biased. He's a hero of mine. But he's a hero of mine for a REASON. Not emotion. Brewster -RPLR
Yes
In other words, "I heard your question, but let me say a lot of words without answering it."
Ron paul is right.
Of course he was! Greetings from NYC!
I can't understand Ron Paul lost the presidential election, but Trump won the seat

This guy sounds like he’s out of breathe the entire time
Interventionism failed
It seems like max didn’t want to answer your question.
Well, state taxation shouldn't even be a thing, so if there's people that want to help an obviously idiotic initiative of inhabiting an area surrounded by hostile underdeveloped cultures and people... then only the people who think that’s a good idea should be funding it, instead of forcing everybody to engage in such a wasteful pointless behaviour.
I got to say this is a fine time for a "Ron Paul was right" video LMFAO
"Foreign Aid is taking money from poor people in a rich country and giving it to rich people in poor a country."~Ron Paul
The United States should not take sides between 2 other countries fighting against each other.
Reason: Is Ron Paul right about…
Me: Ima stop you right there. The answer is yes. Probably yes. Probably definitely yes.
Pro American is number 1 same as here in Canada. Pro Canadian but our politicians want the vote.
I could understand if American civilians weren’t targeted and killed. But they were, and that’s why I support the US funding Israel.
Abrahm's lacks voice in both the physical and metaphoric sense. Why is he being interviewed?
The US does not treat both sides equally anyway.
Ive noticed that channels sending the incorrect message (according to youtube) regarding this issue have low viewer counts on these sorts of videos.
Ron Paul is always right. Prove me wrong.
No mention of lobbying? AIPAC?
Basically the world hates its sugar daddy. We should just lean back in our recliner and watch Netflix all day.
"What I would say is, not directly answer that" Yea, we noticed Max.
We all know where these panelists’ loyalties lay. These are not “libertarians”
The libertarian party hasn't been libertarian since Ron. The party has been hijacked
Exactly. I've had that view of ReasonTV for some time now.
What a non answer.
Literally avoided the entire point...for a reason.
Was Ron Paul right? When has ron paul made even one take that hasn’t aged with perfectly spot on precision all knowing wisdom level of accuracy
I wonder if similar Ron Pauls are in Russia or Iran
Short answer: YES.
Better Question for your audience when was Ron Paul ever wrong? 🤔
Sounds like Max is running for office, he won't answer the question.
Hey, Max answer the question not reading the MIC talking points.
Right about everything.
that response by max was actually so dense. sounded like you asked a high schooler who forgot there was a project & got called on by the teacher to present….
They have been at war for thousands of years. cut their $.
Two direct questions. Zero answers. Lots and Lots of talking.
Gave 👍 for the Ron Paul clip, but the rest was a waste of time, IMHO.
4:58 It’s not the price tag we’re concerned about…
Ron Paul was right about everything.
Ron Paul the best possible president for the U.S.
For the people yes, but not for the Deep State, mega corporations, banksters... Which is why they had to sink his candidacy.
mostly neo liberals are watching these guys not libertarians
He must be an expert in Zionist propaganda.
I may not be the biggest Paulite out there but he is absolutely spot on re: foreign policy.
This guy is on the take
Works in "Jewish Studies" at Northeastern. Whadya expect?
He's a Zionist who has been given airtime by these so-called Libertarians to state his case for why we should be funding Israel's continuing reign of terror.
the billions we give to isreal comes rite back home to raytheon
Wow is Bill Kristol really getting younger, while sounding like Kermit the Frog?
UA-cam removed my original comment. I mentioned a certain lobbyist group that brags that 98% of the candidates they backed in 2022 won office, which is why politicians won't join Ron Paul on this subject.
UA-cam didn't bother checking the AIPAC website that openly shares that information.
Based Ron Paul as usual
I don't know who Max Abrahms is but boy he sounds like a doofus propping up the establishment
How was Biden’s response “um, good”?
"I'm a zionist." - Joe Biden. That's why.
They’re not trying to buy peace
Wonder why he disagrees.
I love how the two most recent comments right below mine are people unsubscribing for completely opposite reasons.
Yes, yes he was
