8:31 am
a moot point is to what extent. and the new power in egypt tensions remain high despite the u.s. supporting the country's journey to democracy some political experts warn it could be a recipe for disaster. and was largely funded by western money and now many egyptians are looking for independence from foreign influence. our interview with u.s. congressman ron paul he told. me that washington was largely to blame for the shortcomings of the mubarak regime and was behind the revolution that toppled him. congressman ron paul is talking to us here in washington d.c. about the situation in egypt the future of the conservative movement add a possible presidential run in two thousand and twelve congressman thank you so much for being here i understand paul let's start off with egypt as usual you have
8:32 am
a very different take on the situation in egypt something that many lawmakers most lawmakers aren't even talking about you say that this is our thirty year mistake that this this mass happened because of us foreign policy what do you mean by that we had a lot to do with mubarak being in power and staying in power like we subsidize them we own him he's our puppet dictator he does what we tell him because he gives so much money he's gotten probably sixty to seventy billion dollars and i understand his family probably has sixty or seventy billion dollars stashed away in swiss accounts in other places around the world so we've known him and. we're supposed to get you know perpetual peace and cooperation but in times after a time the people rebel against this they know about it and they see dictators as being nothing more than public you know if they so government and they rebel and that's what they've done so even though there's been stability and we could afford it over those years now there's no stability and we can't afford it anymore so the
8:33 am
sooner we quit this foreign policy of subsidizing people they said well he's our only friend if we have to pay that much money for a friend he's not much of a friend the way i figure and you go so far as to say just stop the aid whether it is to egypt or afghanistan or pakistan or israel just stop the aid do you think that would actually ever happen probably not not deliberately and you know in a fashion where we legislate it but it may stop when we go broke you know what is what did the soviet system do if they had to quit subsidize or immediately and then to walk away from it in the world survived in russia survived everybody survived. you know with that but i would much rather see it come through legislation rather than waiting waiting for a real crisis to be old and have a monetary crisis and under those circumstances we just can't send them any more money because the money won't buy anything so i'm trying to prevent
8:34 am
a precipitous and a really disruptive system of it breaking down people will argue well it's disruptive just to cut it off but well if you want to call it off twenty five percent for four years maybe that's a compromise but my personal opinion is you just cut it off but your critics would say look we have to look out for the best interest of the united states therefore we can not have a noninterventionist foreign policy because it wouldn't help us it would only hurt us i guess if they looked at the facts and find that intervention hasn't helped us very well very much at all because if you look at how many americans have been killed in korea and vietnam in the middle east and around the world and how many others how much collateral damage there's been and how many civilians are being killed around the world i would say the hasn't done us a bit of good in this helped move us toward our own bankruptcy so i don't believe our national security required it i think we're able to say for it the threat of terrorism is related to our foreign policy so i feel less safe because we're over
8:35 am
there i never feel safer for the foreign policy that we have today here's something that shocked a lot of people this is something that you had mentioned the telegraph reported on it it was part of the wiki leaks revelations the fact that the united states was actually supporting some of these activists that we saw on the streets for several years now how do we make sense of that because surely the united states doesn't want to see instability there but on the other hand they worry they're paying these activists are supporting them they were here in the united states where we're always involved on both sides if if if our puppet dictator can last we keep propping him up when we see the tide taint changing then i'm sure our cia is involved in the opposition they can be in early. and later they try to pick up the pieces that doesn't mean they have total control you know we controlled the iranian situation we had the shah in there for a while but eventually the next revolution we didn't have control and then we end up with the ayatollah so long term i think it hurts us on the short term we will
8:36 am
always try to buy the influence and stay involved and can be seen merican people that our national security will be threatened if we don't control these governments i just don't believe that a lot of folks over at the conservative political action conference is a disagree with a lot of your ideas especially when it comes to foreign policy and now especially this year with go proud being included in the conference and you winning the straw poll last year there was this sort of fear as as they say that the pack is becoming more libertarian why do you think that for some folks that's such a dirty word oh horrible the seabag is going to be stronger for liberty city that is wonderful you know libertarians is why some folks boycotted this you know i saw the comments come in they're more libertarian i didn't know libertarian was a bad word to mean libertarian is a wonderful word that means we believe in liberty we believe in our constitution we believe in the fourth amendment the whole works and we believe in kind market you're right that you know republican party because some people some people who
8:37 am
call themselves conservative are big government conservatives so my opposition are big government conservatives and big government liberals i want libertarians and constitutional conservatives who say they will follow the constitution we believe in personal liberty and they come from our old bright traditions there is a tradition in the republican party that objects to us policing the world so although you hear that and they've had lots of influence these last several decades there's still a lot of influence in the past at least by republicans who believed in the in limited government and a noninterventionist foreign policy what do you think their ideal america looks like. some of those bigger government. that is what they want to see happen when they feel that america is exceptional and that we're very special in some ways i agree with that but their conclusion is because we're exceptional and so special that we have this. jacob an ism where we have this moral obligation to spread our
8:38 am
goodness even if we have to use force and that was all what the french revolution was about see the difference with me is i believe there's a lot of good traits and lot of good qualities about american belief in liberty and markets and freedom and sound money but we should spread our goodness in our by setting an example that's the difference the idea that that somebody would use force to make other countries act like we do or make individuals act like we think they should reject the whole notion of liberty because we reject the notion of using force to mold people's lives and change the world so that's where the separation is a big government conservative and more libertarian constitutionalist because we believe we can persuade people rather than forcing people to accept our views and act the way we do and you see pac is usually a platform or perhaps a task for future presidential candidates are you going to be one of them in twenty small truthfully. no decision to make i am undecided and some
8:39 am
days i am sympathetic to the idea because i have a lot of supporters urging me to then there are other days i think well you know maybe i have better things to do or other things to do so i am still undecided i have a couple months to make a decision i don't know if you got a chance to see this but there was an article circulating on the internet amongst your supporters and the title of it was a radical idea ron paul runs as a democrat in two thousand and twelve and if we listed all of the quote unquote good reasons as to why you should run as a democrat for example your anti-war views the fact that you want to end the drug war and many republicans associate you know smoking a joint with him where ality i have you ever considered that running as a democrat yeah i have but then i realize it's him. but it would be great to do it because it would just just drive the progressives nuts because they would be agreeing with me but they wouldn't be able to stand the idea of supporting somebody like me because i don't address i don't endorse their principles of redistribution of wealth you know from one group to another so there's
8:40 am
a limit they might agree with me on civil liberties and war and they went in and we could expose the. the conflicts and the inconsistency of a president because he has the endorsement of the progressives but they get annoyed too because he's up there promoting more and didn't doing about the drug war and all these things and promotes the patriot act and endorses assassinations and secret prisons nothing really changed so that would that would really stir the hearts of the progress and but the progress is would say oh yeah he doesn't want to give more food stamps to the american people and you know it's back to that but it's an interesting thing it's fascinating to think about congressman paul as always thank you so much thank you.
