Freedom Channel
I just stumbled upon a blog called Freedom Channel where you will find a collection of great pro-liberty/anti-statist videos. There are videos with Milton Friedman, F. A. Hayek, Ron Paul, Walter Williams, John Stossel, and others. I suggest you check out the Freedom Channel.

Fear the Boom and Bust - an Economics Rap Video
When I first heard about this video, I thought it was going to be really lame. I imagined it was going to be like a bad Saturday Night Live skit where uncool white people try to look cool by rapping. It isn't as bad as I imagined. It is actually quite good. But what do I know, I am an uncool white person.
In Fear the Boom and Bust, two famous economists from the Great Depression years - John Maynard Keynes and F. A. Hayek - come back to life to attend an economics conference on the current economic crisis. Before the conference begins, and at the insistence of Keynes, they go out for a night on the town and rap about why there's a "boom and bust" cycle in modern economies and good reason to fear it.
Peace out
