Peter Schiff versus a populist from Michigan

Be it resolved that no federal money should go towards bailing out failing automakers. There's a couple funny parts about these clips. I like the mayor's blank response to the first question (must have been technical difficulties or something). I then chuckle when Schiff realizes his good fortune on the first question.

I think the callers who call in to the show are funny. The whole cable news medium is really quite annoying, especially when they throw hapless non-intellectuals into the middle of a conversation like this.

What I really found funny, other than Schiff's normal quirky facial expressions and polemic style, was a quick line from Schiff in the second part. The host is mentioning how auto executives are accepting $1 per year salary when Schiff chimes in off camera, "They're overpaid."

Sorry about the Matrix stuff at the intro and ending... The Matrix is cool and all. At least the first movie was. But I don't like seeing it used to score cheap philosophical points.

Jim Rogers speaking with an inquisitive British Journalist

Jim Rogers is one of my favourite 'baby-faced,' overly polite free market theorists. He doesn't get angry, he just gets mildly frustrated when he has to repeat points. I love him!

He recently got in some hot water over comments he made about the British currency. He was rebutted publicly by Gordon Brown. This interview seems to be a follow up to that exchange.



I found this vid over at The Daily Paul blog. A great site that is a continuation of Ron Paul's presidential campaign of '08.
