00:01:26	>>	WHAT A GREAT GATHERING, WHAT A GREAT CROWD, WHAT A GREAT OPPORTUNITY. [CHEERS AND APPLAUSE] ARE YOU READY FOR RON PAUL TONIGHT? [CHEERS AND APPLAUSE] YOU KNOW, THIS IS AN INTERESTING PERIOD OF TIME, WE ARE IN THIS PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION AND IF YOU AND I HAD ANYTHING TO SAY ABOUT IT, RON PAUL WOULD HAVE ONE DAY-LONG TIME AGO. [CHEERS AND APPLAUSE] POLITICIANS ARE THE ONLY PEOPLE THAT REALLY CAUSE PROBLEMS AND THEN THEY TURN RIGHT AROUND AND RUN AGAINST THEM. THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN NORMAL PEOPLE AND POLITICIANS IS THE EXCESSIVE AMOUNT OF GOLD. SOMEONE DEFINED POLITICS AS POORLY, IN GREEK MEANING MANY AND TICK MEANING BLOODSUCKING CREATURES. [CHEERS AND APPLAUSE] YOU KNOW, YESTERDAY THE REPUBLICAN PARTY WAS ON THE VERGE OF A POLITICAL MAJORITY. IN 1994, THE AMERICAN PEOPLE ELECTED THE CONTRACT WITH AMERICA AND TOOK OVER THE CONGRESS FOR THE FIRST TIME IN 40 YEARS. THEY CAME IN, CAMPAIGNING AGAINST FRAUD, AGAINST ABUSE, AGAINST IN EXCESS OF BUDGETS, AGAINST HIGH TAXES. AND YOU KNOW SOMETHING? INSIDE OF A DECADE THEY BECAME WHAT THEY CAMPAIGNED AGAINST. [BOOING] [CHEERS AND APPLAUSE] AND THE AMERICAN PEOPLE IN 2006 THREW THEM OUT OF OFFICE. [CHEERS AND APPLAUSE] WELL, WE ARE IN A NEW GENERATION AND IT IS TIME FOR CHANGE. [CHEERS AND APPLAUSE] WE ARE FINDING A NEW LEADER TO CARRY THE TORCH OF LIBERTY, AND BELIEVE ME, WE CAN WIN. [CHEERS AND APPLAUSE] SENATOR GOLDWATER, ON FATHER -- [CHEERS AND APPLAUSE] -- WHO KIND OF LAUNCHED THIS CONSERVATIVE MOVEMENT BACK IN THE 1960'S REMINDED US THAT THE 1960 REPUBLICAN CONVENTION WHEN HE SAID GROW UP, CONSERVATIVES, YOU CAN TAKE BACK THIS PARTY IF YOU WANT. [CHEERS AND APPLAUSE] WITH THE RON PAUL REVOLUTION, WE WILL TAKE BACK THE PARTY. [CHEERS AND APPLAUSE] IN THE BOOK, "THE REVOLUTION AND MANIFESTO," FROM PAUL WRITES EVERY ELECTION CYCLE WE HEAR THE WORD CHANGE AND 2008 IS NO DIFFERENT. THE CHANGE ALWAYS MEANS MORE OF THE SAME, MORE LOOTING, MORE INFLATION, MORE NECESSARY WAR, MORE CONCENTRATION OF POWER. [BOOING] IF YOU LISTEN, IF YOU LISTEN TO THE MASTERS OF CHANGE, YOU WOULD FEEL SECURE AND WARM AND FUZZY. IT REMINDS ME ABOUT THE FORMER WHO HAD A POND IN THE BACK OF HIS RANCH. HE WENT DOWN AND FIXED UP THIS PONT REAL NICE. HE CLEANED IT UP, PUT SOME PARK BENCHES OUT THERE, PLANTED SOME FRUIT TREES AND HE DIDN'T PAY MUCH ATTENTION TO IT AND ONE DAY HE DECIDED TO GO DOWN AND RECEIVE UPON HE HAD BUILT AND AS HE WAS WALKING, HE WENT OUT OF THE HOUSE AND HE GRABBED A POCKET AND WALKED DOWN TO THE POND, AND ON THE WAY DOWN HE HEARD THESE VOICES AND UPON HEARING HE'S ALL THESE WOMEN SWIMMING IN THE POND AND THEY WENT TO THE FAR END OF THE POND AND SAID WE ARE NOT COMING OUT OF HERE UNLESS YOU LEAVE. AND THE FAR SAID I DIDN'T COME DOWN HERE TO SEE YOU SWIM NAKED. AND I DIDN'T COME DOWN HERE TO EVEN SEE YOU CLIMB OUT OF THE POND NAKED. AND HE RAISED UP THE BUCKET. HE SAID I JUST CAME DOWN HERE TO FEED THE ALLIGATORS. [LAUGHTER] WELL, RON PAUL HAS HAD A VERY SIGNIFICANT ROLE IN ADVANCING THE CONCEPT OF LIBERTY. THE KEY TO HIS SUCCESS HAS BEEN HIS MORAL LEADERSHIP. IN PART HERE IS MORAL CONVICTION CAN BE ATTRIBUTED TO THE WONDERFUL EXAMPLE GIVEN TO HIM BY HIS PARENTS, MARGARET ANN HOWARD PAUL. [CHEERS AND APPLAUSE] THEY TAUGHT RON PAUL THE VALUE OF HONESTY, HARD WORK, AND INTEGRITY AND GIVING SOMETHING BACK TO THIS COUNTRY THAT CREATED FREEDOM. RON PAUL HAS ALSO BEEN BLESSED AND GREATLY INFLUENCED BY HIS LOVE FOR AND HIS LIFE PARTNER, HIS WIFE, CAROL. [CHEERS AND APPLAUSE] AND THEIR FIVE CHILDREN, RONNIE, LAURIE, JOY. [CHEERS AND APPLAUSE] I KNOW CAROL IS LISTENING, AND CAROL, WE JUST WANT TO TELL YOU OUR PRAYERS ARE WITH YOU. WE KNOW YOU WILL BE BACK WITH RON PAUL TO HELP HIM IN HIS CAMPAIGN IN THE REVOLUTION. [CHEERS AND APPLAUSE] IT'S A BEAUTIFUL FAMILY. THEY'VE BEEN WORKING HARD FOR OVER A YEAR-AND-A-HALF, SIDE BY SIDE, IN TAKING THIS MESSAGE TO THE PEOPLE AND WE MISS THAT WONDERFUL WOMAN, HIS WIFE, CAROL. YOU KNOW, IN HIS UNASSUMING AND QUIET, HUMBLE KIND OF MANNER, RON PAUL REACHED OUT AND HAS CHANGED AMERICA FOR THE BETTER. RON PAUL IS OUR MESSENGER, OUR LEADER, OUR INSPIRATION. [CHEERS AND APPLAUSE] HIS IDEAS, HIS COURAGE, AND HIS CANDOR HAVE SET THIS REVOLUTION ON THE COURSE. RON PAUL IS A MAN OF PRINCIPLE, INTEGRITY, AND HONESTY. [CHEERS AND APPLAUSE] RON PAUL CAMPAIGNED FOR MY FATHER BACK IN THE 60'S, AND NOW ANOTHER GOLDWATER IS CAMPAIGNING FOR RON PAUL. [CHEERS AND APPLAUSE] I LOVE TO LISTEN TO RON PAUL TALK ABOUT LIBERTY. [CHEERS AND APPLAUSE] DO YOU WANT TO HEAR FROM PAUL? [CHEERS AND APPLAUSE] WHO WE WANT TO ADVANCE THE CAUSE OF LIBERTY [CHEERS AND APPLAUSE] IS RON PAUL OUR LEADER? [CHEERS AND APPLAUSE] ARE WE READY FOR RON PAUL? [CHEERS AND APPLAUSE] ARE WE READY TO KICK OFF THIS REVOLUTION? [CHEERS AND APPLAUSE] LET'S HEAR RON PAUL. [CHANTING] (music)(music) (music) NO, I WON'T BACK DOWN (music) (music) (music)
00:10:39	>>	THANK YOU. THANK YOU. THANK YOU. THANK YOU VERY MUCH. (music)(music) [CHEERS AND APPLAUSE] THANK YOU. [CHANTING] [CHEERS AND APPLAUSE]
00:11:23	>>	THANK YOU, THANK YOU. THANK YOU. THANK YOU. [CHEERS AND APPLAUSE] [CHEERS AND APPLAUSE] [CHEERS AND APPLAUSE] THANK YOU. THANK YOU, THANK YOU. THANK YOU. THANK YOU. THAT'S IT. [CHEERS AND APPLAUSE] IT'S PRETTY AMAZING, IT'S PRETTY AMAZING, THIS IS VERY AMAZING. IT'S AMAZING BECAUSE BELIEVE IT OR NOT I STILL THINK OF MYSELF AS A COUNTRY DOCTOR THAT HAS GONE TO CONGRESS AND I'M A QUIET LITTLE CONGRESSMAN FROM TEXAS. [CHEERS AND APPLAUSE] AND OF COURSE FOR 30 YEARS I WAS RATHER QUIET BUT FOR SOME REASON, IN THE PAST 18 MONTHS IT WAS DISCOVERED THAT THE IDEAS OF LIBERTY AND THE REVOLUTION WAS ALIVE AND WELL AND WE ARE CELEBRATING HERE TONIGHT WITH. [CHEERS AND APPLAUSE] [CHEERS AND APPLAUSE] BUT I TRULY DO I WANT TO THANK YOU, THE SUPPORT YOU HAVE GIVEN TO ME PERSONALLY, TO MY FAMILY, AND TO THE CAMPAIGN HAS BEEN REALLY, REALLY HELPFUL TO ALL I HAVE DONE. BUT, YOU KNOW, BARRY GOLDWATER GAVE ME A WONDERFUL INTRODUCTION AND HE TALKED ABOUT MY FAMILY. BUT, YOU KNOW, AND HE MENTIONED MY WIFE, CAROL HAS BEEN SICK AND SHE IS HOME AND DOING MUCH BETTER. [CHEERS AND APPLAUSE] BUT, YOU KNOW, I KNOW SHE'S DOING A LOT BETTER BECAUSE BEFORE I LEFT HOME SHE GAVE ME A LOT OF INSTRUCTIONS. [LAUGHTER] AND SHE TOLD ME WHAT I WAS SUPPOSED TO SAY HERE TONIGHT. AND ONE THING THAT SHE WANTED ME TO SAY WAS THAT THANK YOU IS PERSONALLY FROM HER, FOR YOU, THIS POOR, THE PRAYERS, THE LETTERS AND COMMENTS YOU HAVE MADE AND WE HAVE BEEN BLESSED BY ALL OF YOUR FRIENDSHIP. [CHEERS AND APPLAUSE] YOU KNOW, EVEN IN THAT EVENT I SAW SOMETHING VERY WONDERFUL ABOUT IT BECAUSE OUR CHRISTIAN FRIENDS SEND US GOOD WISHES AND PRAYERS AND OUR JEWISH FRIENDS SENT GOOD WISHES AND PRAYERS, AND OUR MUSLIM FRIENDS SENT US GOOD WISHES AND PRAYERS. [CHEERS AND APPLAUSE] AND LO AND BEHOLD WE RECEIVED A LOT OF GOOD WISHES FROM SOME AGNOSTICS, ATHEISTS, AND WE WERE DELIGHTED TO GET THOSE AS WELL. [CHEERS AND APPLAUSE] IT CONFIRMS MY CONVICTION THAT FREEDOM BRINGS PEOPLE TOGETHER. [CHEERS AND APPLAUSE] YOU KNOW, EARLY ON IN THE CAMPAIGN I THOUGHT I MIGHT HAVE REALLY MESSED UP, BECAUSE, YOU KNOW, I ANSWERED A QUESTION RATHER TRUTHFULLY ABOUT ME BECOMING PRESIDENT. AND I HAVE TRULY BEEN A RELUCTANT CANDIDATE AND WAS NOT ALL THAT ANXIOUS TO DO IT, NOT THINKING THAT THERE WOULD BE A LARGE NUMBER OF PEOPLE WHO CARED. I WAS SKEPTICAL, SOME SAID THAT YOU WERE APATHETIC AND HELP REMOVE THAT, BUT I LOST MY SKEPTICISM, I HOPE YOU LOST YOUR APATHY. [CHEERS AND APPLAUSE] BUT WHEN THEY ASKED ME ABOUT WANTED TO DO AS PRESIDENT I SAID I LOOK AT IT DIFFERENTLY. I WANT TO BE PRESIDENT BECAUSE OF THE THINGS I DON'T WANT TO DO. [CHEERS AND APPLAUSE] I EXPLAINED I DID NOT WANT TO RUN PEOPLE'S LIVES, DID NOT WANT TO RUN THE ECONOMY AND I DID NOT WANT TO RUN THE WORLD. [CHEERS AND APPLAUSE] I DIDN'T HAVE THE AUTHORITY TO DO IT AND I DIDN'T HAVE THE CONSTITUTION BEHIND ME TO DO IT. BUT THEY SAID THAT SOUND LIKE A WEAK PRESIDENT. I SAID WELL, I DON'T THINK SO. I THINK RESISTING THE TEMPTATION OF POWER REQUIRES SOME STRENGTH AND WE DON'T NEED MORE GOVERNMENT POWER. [CHEERS AND APPLAUSE] [CHEERS AND APPLAUSE] YOU KNOW, I HOPE YOU AGREE THAT THIS HAS BEEN A FANTASTIC RALLY TODAY. WHAT DO YOU THINK? [CHEERS AND APPLAUSE] AND GUESS WHAT, GUESS WHAT. NOT ONE SINGLE TAXPAYERS CENT WAS SPENT ON THIS RALLY. [CHEERS AND APPLAUSE] NOW, I UNDERSTAND THERE'S ANOTHER MEETING IN A NEARBY TOWN GOING ON. [BOOING] LET US BE RESPECTFUL. [LAUGHTER] BUT I ALSO UNDERSTAND THAT WE DO NOT HAVE THE RESPECT AND CONDITIONS THAT ALLOW BOTH OTHER CONVENTIONS TO GET $16.8 MILLION APIECE TO RUN THEIR PARTY. [BOOING] HERE WE ARE, THIS WAS NOT AN EXPENSIVE, AND ALL OF YOU CONTRIBUTED TO IT IN SOME A LOT MORE THAN OTHERS, A LOT OF VOLUNTEERS, A LOT OF MONEY AND WE PAID EVERY CENT AND THERE IS GOING TO BE NO DEBT. [CHEERS AND APPLAUSE] YOU KNOW, THERE SHOULD BE AN URGENCY ABOUT WHAT WE DO. IT WOULD BE NICE TO BE RELAXED AND THINK WE ARE BACK IN THE 1950'S WHEN I FIRST BARELY STARTED THINKING ABOUT POLITICS, BUT IT'S NOT THE 1950'S ANYMORE. IT'S A NEW CENTURY AND THERE'S A LOT MORE PROBLEMS. AND WE HAVE TERRIBLE THREATS AROUND THE WORLD. WE HAVE A FOREIGN POLICY THAT'S GONE AMOK. WE OF THE MONETARY SYSTEM IN A MESS AND WE KNOW ALL OUR PROBLEMS. BUT THERE'S AN URGENCY IN WHAT WE DO. BECAUSE WE ARE CARRYING THE BANNER. AND WE MUST ACT BECAUSE WE, AS A GROUP, NOW HAVE MORE, GREATER MORE RESPONSIBILITY TO ACT THAN THOSE WHO LIVE IN IGNORANCE. WANTS TO BECOME KNOWLEDGEABLE, YOU HAVE AN OBLIGATION TO DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT. [CHEERS AND APPLAUSE] YOU KNOW, IT'S ALMOST BEEN TO THE YEARS SINCE THE EXPLORATORY COMMITTEE WAS ANNOUNCED, BUT A LOT HAS HAPPENED IN SO MUCH OF IT HAS BEEN SO WONDERFUL. AND I HAVE BEEN SO MUCH ENCOURAGED BY SO MANY OF YOU JOINING US. BUT THERE HAVE BEEN SOME THINGS THAT ALTHOUGH I SUSPECT IT WERE TRUE, REALLY GAINED THE LIGHT DURING THIS CAMPAIGN. THE ONE THING HAS BEEN THE RESPONSE IT HAS DELIGHTED ME TO NO END THE RESPONSE FROM THE YOUNG PEOPLE. [CHEERS AND APPLAUSE] MANY TIMES, THE TEENAGERS, LESS THAN VOTING AGE, WILL BRING THEIR PARENTS TO MY OFFICE IN WASHINGTON. BRING THEIR PARENTS AND. AND I SAID WHO GOT MOST EXCITED, WHO GOT EXCITED EARLIEST, AND MOST THE TIME IT'S THE 14 AND 15-YEAR-OLDS THAT BRING THEIR PARENTS AND AND INTRODUCES THEM TO OUR IDEAS. [CHEERS AND APPLAUSE] AND I SAID WELL, HOW DID YOU HEAR ABOUT IT? I DIDN'T KNOW THAT YOU WERE READING "THE NEW YORK TIMES" AND WATCHING THE NEWS. THERE'S SOMETHING CALLED YOUTUBE OUT THERE, THAT TELLS US WHAT'S GOING ON. [CHEERS AND APPLAUSE] BUT THE YOUNG PEOPLE RESPONDED WELL, BUT ALSO THOSE WHO WERE SITTING AND WAITING AND THINKING ABOUT IT AND MAYBE YOUNG IN SPIRIT BUT OLDER IN AGE, THOSE INDIVIDUALS ARE CONSIDERED IN THE REALM THE TRUE BELIEVERS THAT HAVE BEEN AROUND IN TRYING TO BRING US BACK AROUND, THEY WERE THERE. THE MEMBERS WERE LARGER. IT IS SAID THAT WE DON'T KNOW WHERE THE NUMBER IS, BUT IF THE TIME COMES YOU WILL BE SURPRISED HOW BIG IT IS, AND I HAVE BEEN SURPRISED AND I HAVE BEEN VERY PLEASED. [CHEERS AND APPLAUSE] PROBABLY ONE OF THE MOST EXCITING THINGS THAT HAPPENED DURING THE CAMPAIGN WAS THE RESPONSE WE GOT FROM A CERTAIN SEGMENT OF SOCIETY. IN WASHINGTON, D.C., WE FREQUENTLY HAVE REVOLUTIONS BEING PASSED THAT RUBBER-STAMP THE FOREIGN POLICY OF INTERVENTION. BUT THEY ALWAYS GET PAST, USUALLY NEARLY UNANIMOUSLY. MAYBE THERE'S A FEW AND SOMETIMES THERE IS ONLY ONE OF THOSE IN THE RESOLUTION. [CHEERS AND APPLAUSE] BOUGHT THESE RESOLUTIONS WILL BE DESIGNED TO SUPPORT THE POLICIES AND IRAQ IN OUR SO-CALLED THREAT AGAINST IRAN AND ITS SAID IF YOU DON'T SUPPORT IT, YOU DON'T SUPPORT THE TROOPS. WELL, YOU KNOW THE MOST EXCITING THING, THE MOST EXCITING THING WAS I THINK IT WAS IN OUR FIRST QUARTER THIS YEAR WHEN THEY ADD UP THE NUMBER OF DOLLARS THAT CAME FROM THE TROOPS, OUR CAMPAIGN GOT MORE MONEY FROM THE TROOPS THAN ALL THEATER CANDIDATES PUT TOGETHER. [CHEERS AND APPLAUSE] YOU KNOW, IT WAS INTERESTING TO SEE HOW THE ESTABLISHMENT RESPONDED. YOU SELL IT ON TV. YOU SAW IN THE DEBATES. AND SO OFTEN IT WAS A TREATMENT OF EXCLUSION OR MARGINAL AS ASIAN OR JUST MAKING FUN OF WHAT WE ARE DOING. AND I THINK THAT DIDN'T SURPRISE ME ONE BIT. BECAUSE YOU KNOW, ONE THING THAT, YOU KNOW, WHEN THINGS LIKE THAT HAPPEN, WE NEED TO TURN THEM AROUND AND THERE WASN'T MUCH EFFORT NEEDED TO DO THAT BECAUSE THE MORE THEY DID THAT IT SEEMED THE MORE IT ENERGIZED YOU AND SUPPORT FOR OUR CAUSE. [CHEERS AND APPLAUSE] WE HAVE ALSO NOTICED THAT THOSE IN THE ESTABLISHMENT AREN'T VERY ANXIOUS TO WELCOME US IN. EVEN THOUGH OUR NUMBERS ARE GROWING WE RESPOND AND APPEAL TO YOUNG PEOPLE YOU WOULD THINK THAT THEY WOULD WELCOME US. AND YET, ON OCCASION A FEW OF YOU MAY HAVE BEEN EXPOSED THAT SOMETIMES THE RULES GET BENT. SOMETIMES THE RULES ARE EVEN IGNORED. [BOOING] BUT, YOU KNOW, IN THE OTHER SENSE, GOVERNMENT POWER REALLY WANTS TO PROTECT ITSELF. SO THEY WILL USE POWER AND FORCE NOT ONLY IN POLITICS WILL THEY BEND THE RULES, BUT REALLY IN SOCIETY AS WELL THEY WILL BREAK THE RULES AND PITFALLS AND THEY ARE EVEN KNOWN TO ILLEGALLY INVADE PREMISES TO FIND OUT WHAT PEOPLE ARE TALKING ABOUT IN CASE THEY ARE TALKING ABOUT POLITICS. THAT IS NOT VERY GOOD. [BOOING] YOU KNOW, THE ONE THING THAT I HAVE SAID IS THAT THE REVOLUTION IS A LOT MORE THAN ABOUT ME. THERE IS NO DOUBT ABOUT IT, THIS REVOLUTION WILL CONTINUE. [CHEERS AND APPLAUSE] BUT I WOULD LIKE TO THINK, I WOULD LIKE TO THINK THAT THE CAMPAIGN IN OUR EFFORTS TOGETHER HAVE DONE A WHOLE LOT TO SPEED UP THE REVOLUTION THAT WAS DESTINED TO COME ANYWAY. [CHEERS AND APPLAUSE] SO OFTEN PEOPLE ASK ME HOW DID WE LOSE THE REPUBLIC? HAVE WE LOST IT? ESSENTIALLY WE HAD, IT MAY BE HANGING BY A THREAD, THAT'S WHY I CLAIM WE HAVE A SENSE OF URGENCY. WE DON'T HAVE DECADES AND DECADES. WE HAVE TO DO SOMETHING RATHER QUICKLY. BUT TODAY WE HAVE TO MOVE RATHER QUICKLY. HOW DID WE LOSE IT? I THINK SOME OF THE THINGS THAT HAPPENED IN WASHINGTON SYMBOLIZE THE SWATH OF THE REPUBLIC. ONE THING I'VE MADE COMMENTS MANY YEARS AGO THAT I NOTICED ON THE HOUSE FLOOR AND THIS HAS TO CHANGE, THAT THE TWO WEAKEST ARGUMENTS ON THE HOUSE FLOOR WOULD BE A MORAL ARGUMENT AND A CONSTITUTIONAL ARGUMENT. THAT WE NEED TO CHANGE. [CHEERS AND APPLAUSE] ANOTHER ATTITUDE THAT WE MUST CHANGE, AND YOU HAVE HEARD THIS SAID MANY TIMES THAT IF THE GOVERNMENT GIVES US A TAX CUT, THEY HAVE TO BE CAUTIOUS BECAUSE IT IS WRITTEN OFF AS A COST TO GOVERNMENT. HOW COULD THAT BE? THAT IS THE ASSUMPTION THAT THE GOVERNMENT OWNS US AND OWNS THE FRUITS OF OUR LABOUR AND WHAT WE GET TO KEEP THE SYSTEM OF THE PERMISSION OF THE GOVERNMENT, WHICH PROVES THE POINT THAT EVEN A 1% INCOME TAX IS MORALLY WRONG BECAUSE IT SOWS THE SEEDS OF DESTRUCTION. [CHEERS AND APPLAUSE] YOU KNOW, THE SURVIVAL OF THE REPUBLIC WAS DISCUSSED AT THE TIME OF THE FOUNDING SAN THE FOUNDING FATHERS CAME TO THE CONCLUSION THAT WE WOULD AND COULD HAVE EVER PUBLIC ABOUT THE PUBLIC DEPENDED DUMB PEOPLE. A COMPLAINT WITH THE GOVERNMENT AND ALL THAT IS GOING AROUND IN WE PLAN THIS PERSON OR OTHER PERSON, BUT IN A WAY IT IS A REFLECTION OF THE MORALITY OF THE PEOPLE. SO IN DOING THIS WE HAVE TO UNDERSTAND THE MORALITY OF LAW AND THE MORALITY OF WHAT WE DO SO THAT IF WE ARE NOT A MORAL PEOPLE, A PERFECT CONSTITUTION CANNOT SAVE US. WE DON'T HAVE A PERFECT CONSTITUTION. BUT WE HAVE A REAL GOOD ONE. BUT THE FACT THAT IF WE HAVE PEOPLE WHO IGNORE IT IT WON'T SERVE OUR PURPOSE, SO YOU HAVE TO HAVE A MORAL PEOPLE AND A SYSTEM OF GOVERNMENT AND MORAL POLITICIANS WHO REPRESENT US. [CHEERS AND APPLAUSE] ANOTHER THING THAT HAS HAPPENED IS THAT WE LOST TRACK OF THE FACT THE CONSTITUTION WAS WRITTEN TO RESTRAIN THE GOVERNMENT. NOW IT'S TURNED ON ITS HEAD. THE CONSTITUTION OR THE GOVERNMENT IS THE USE IT TO RESTRAIN US. THAT IS UPSIDE DOWN. [CHEERS AND APPLAUSE] AND OVER THE YEARS, THE GOVERNMENT GETS MORE AND MORE POWERFUL. IT IS NOT ONLY THE EXECUTIVE BRANCH, IT IS THE JUDICIAL BRANCH, THE LEGISLATIVE BRANCH, THE BUREAUCRATIC BRANCH OF GOVERNMENT. AND MORE POWER GRAVITATES AWAY FROM THE INDIVIDUAL, AWAY FROM THE STATES COME INTO THE HANDS OF THE BUREAUCRATS AND POLITICIANS IN WASHINGTON. NOT ONLY THAT DO WE HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT ALL OF THIS POWER GRAVITATING TO THE POWER TO BE IN WASHINGTON. IT'S EVEN GOING FURTHER. WE HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT POWER GRAVITATING TOWARDS INTERNATIONAL GOVERNMENT, TO THE NEW WORLD ORDER. [BOOING] THAT OF COURSE WOULD HAVE TO BE REVERSED AS WELL. BUT ANOTHER THING THAT HAPPENED OVER THESE MANY YEARS THAT HAVE ALLOWED US TO SLIP AWAY FROM THE REPUBLICAN PRINCIPLES OF LIBERTY IS WE CAN AS A NATION TO BELIEVE A PERSON NEEDS OR A ESSENTIALLY WANTS, IF YOU NEED OR WANT OR DEMAND SOMETHING THAT DOES NOT GIVE YOU A RIGHT TO IT. [CHEERS AND APPLAUSE] RIGHTS ARE SOMETHING ABOUT OUR VERY PRECIOUS. THEY DON'T COME FROM THE GOVERNMENT, THE COME IN A NATURAL WAY OUR GOD GIVEN WAY. THE COME AS A RIGHT TO YOUR LIFE IN THE RIGHT TO YOUR LIBERTY. [CHEERS AND APPLAUSE] I BELIEVE THE TRENDS IN THE SCHOOL SYSTEM OF THE LAST MANY DECADES HAS BEEN DETRIMENTAL. IT HASN'T BEEN ONE PARTY. EVEN IN THE FIFTIES IT STARTED WITH A FEDERAL GOVERNMENT GETTING INVOLVED. THERE IS NOTHING IN THE CONSTITUTION THAT SAYS THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT SHOULD BE INVOLVED IN EDUCATION AT ALL. [CHEERS AND APPLAUSE] [CHEERS AND APPLAUSE] SO WE HAVE HAD A SYSTEM, WE'VE HAD A SYSTEM OF GOVERNMENT THAT HAS BEEN ENCOURAGED BY OUR SCHOOL SYSTEM, THE ECONOMICS TAUGHT IN THE SCHOOL SYSTEM IS NEVER FREE MARKET HARD MONEY ON ECONOMICS IS ALWAYS SOFT MONEY. ECONOMICS THAT ARE WRONG. [BOOING] AND NOT ONLY THAT, WE GET TAUGHT HISTORY AND OUR PUBLIC SCHOOLS AND WHO ARE THE GREAT PRESIDENTS? THE GREAT PRESIDENTS ARE ALWAYS SAID TO BE THE ONES WHO RUN A WAR. WHY DON'T WE HAVE THESE CANDIDATES BE THE GREAT PRESIDENTS? [CHEERS AND APPLAUSE] SOMETHING ELSE HAS HAPPENED OVER THE MANY DECADES AND THAT IS OUR CONFUSION OF WHAT PATRIOTISM IS ALL ABOUT. GUESS WHO THE TRUE EARLY AMERICAN PATRIOTS SUPPORT? THEY DIDN'T SUPPORT THE CURRENT GOVERNMENT THAT THEY HAD, AND YET TODAY THEY WANT YOU TO BELIEVE THAT PATRIOTISM MEANS YOU SUPPORT EVERYTHING THE GOVERNMENT WANTS. A TRUE PATRIOT DEFENDS LIBERTY AND THE PEOPLE. [CHEERS AND APPLAUSE] [CHEERS AND APPLAUSE] [CHANTING] [CHANTING] [CHANTING]
00:32:31	>>	JUST NAMING A BILL THE PATRIOT ACT OF VOTING FOR THAT DOESN'T MAKE YOU A PATRIOT. [CHEERS AND APPLAUSE] BUT TRUE PATRIOT WILL REPEAL THE PATRIOT ACT IS WHAT THEY WOULD DO. [CHEERS AND APPLAUSE] ANOTHER THING THE AMERICAN PEOPLE HAVE BEEN ENTICED INTO BELIEVING IS THAT IF YOU SUPPORT THE FREE MARKET SYSTEM AND DON'T SUPPORT THE WELFARE STATE YOU CAN'T BE A HUMANITARIAN. THAT'S TOTAL NONSENSE. IF YOU REALLY CARE ABOUT YOUR FELLOW MAN AND YOU CARE ABOUT PROSPERITY AND CARE ABOUT PEACE YOU HAVE TO CARE ABOUT LIBERTY, NOT SOCIALISM AND WELFARE AND CORPORATISM. [CHEERS AND APPLAUSE] WE AS A GROUP ARE OFTEN CHALLENGED BY SAYING YOUR THE PEOPLE THAT WANT TO GO BACK TO THE DARK AGES. YOU WANT TO GO BACK TO THE DARK AGES OF SOUND MONEY. YOU WANT TO GO TO THE DARK AGES OF MINDING OUR OWN BUSINESS IN INTERNATIONAL AFFAIRS. [CHEERS AND APPLAUSE] BUT THE REAL TRUTH IS THE OLD-FASHIONED IDEAS ARE TYRANNY AND WE WANT TO GET AWAY FROM THOSE OLD-FASHIONED IDEAS. [CHEERS AND APPLAUSE] FREEDOM IS A NEW IDEA. IT'S ONLY BEEN TRIED IN A SHORT PERIOD OF TIME AND THAT IS WHEN THE WORLD HAS BECOME MORE PRODUCTIVE AND POVERTY HAS BEEN WIPED OUT. BUT WHAT DO WE SEE NOW? WE ARE DRIFTING BACK IN THAT DIRECTION AND PEOPLE ARE MOVING INTO POVERTY, EVEN IN THIS COUNTRY BECAUSE THEY DO NOT UNDERSTAND AND DO NOT DEFEND THE PRINCIPLES OF LIBERTY. [CHEERS AND APPLAUSE] APPROXIMATELY 100 YEARS AGO OR SO, PHILOSOPHICALLY DISCOVER ACCEPTED THE NOTION FREEDOM WAS MADE UP OF TRUE PARTS. TWO PARTS, ONE WHERE YOUR PERSONAL LIBERTIES MEAN ONE THING IN ON THE OTHER HAND YOUR ECONOMIC LIBERTIES ARE SEPARATE. THAT IS COMPLETE NONSENSE. LIBERTY IS ONE UNIT. YOU HAVE A RIGHT TO YOUR LIFE. YOU HAVE A RIGHT TO LIVE YOUR LIFE THE WAY YOU WANT. YOU HAVE A RIGHT TO WORK HARD AND YOU OUGHT TO HAVE A RIGHT TO KEEP THE FRUITS OF YOUR LABOR. [CHEERS AND APPLAUSE] [CHEERS AND APPLAUSE] AND ONE OF THE DEBATES WE WERE ASKED AS A GROUP WHAT DO YOU THINK IS THE GREATEST MORAL CRISIS WE ARE FACING TODAY IN THIS COUNTRY AND THE THOUGHT CROSSED MY MIND DURING THAT DEBATE AND I STILL BELIEVE IT IS ONE OF THE MOST SERIOUS CRISIS WE FACE, AND THAT IS WE AS A NATION HAVE COME TO ACCEPT AT LEAST THE POLICIES GOING IN THAT DIRECTION THAT WE AS A NATION NOW ACCEPT THE PRINCIPAL OF PREVENTIVE WAR, ACTUALLY START A WAR. [BOOING] THERE IS NO MORAL JUSTIFICATION FOR THAT, AND THERE CERTAINLY IS NO CONSTITUTIONAL JUSTIFICATION TO FIGHT THESE MANY WARS WE HAVE BEEN FIGHTING WITHOUT A DECLARATION OF WAR. [CHEERS AND APPLAUSE] WE TAKE THE OATH OF OFFICE TO OBEY THE CONSTITUTION WHEN WE ARE SWORN INTO OFFICE AND WE TAKE THAT ONE WHEN WE ARE SWORN INTO THE MILITARY AND WE SWEAR TO UPHOLD THE CONSTITUTION AGAINST ALL ENEMIES, FOREIGN AND DOMESTIC. GUESS WHAT? WE'VE DONE A PRETTY GOOD JOB DEFENDING AGAINST FOREIGN THREATS. WE OVER DO THAT BECAUSE WE HAVE NO FOREIGN THREATS. WE HAVE NO THREAT SOMEBODY IS GOING TO INVADE THIS COUNTRY. WE HAVE A THREAT OF TERRORISM, BUT THAT IS A CONSEQUENCE OF A SERIOUSLY FLAWED FOREIGN-POLICY. [CHEERS AND APPLAUSE] WE OVERDUE OUR CONCERNS ABOUT OUR FOREIGN THREATS BUT WE DO FORGET ABOUT THE THREAT FROM OUR DOMESTIC CONDITIONS THAT WE HAVE HERE. AND SINCE 9/11, OUR LIBERTIES HAVE BEEN THREATENED AND UNDERMINED. WE ARE LESS FREE SINCE 9/11. WE ARE GOING IN THE WRONG DIRECTION. [CHEERS AND APPLAUSE] BOTH PARTIES IN THESE LAST SEVERAL DECADES AND ESPECIALLY THE LAST DECADE HAS ACCEPTED THE NOTION OF THE UNITARY PRESIDENT WHICH IS ESSENTIALLY A DICTATORSHIP ALLOWING THE PRESIDENT TO MAKE DECISIONS. [BOOING] -- ON HIS OWN. AND JUST THINK OF THE INCONSISTENCY OF TURNING THIS POWER OVER TO THE EXECUTIVE BRANCH AND THEN ALLOWING THE PRESIDENT TO MAKE THESE DECISIONS WRITING EXECUTIVE ORDER THAT SHOULD BE ESSENTIALLY NO EXECUTIVE ORDERS ARE VERY, VERY FEW EXECUTIVE ORDERS. [CHEERS AND APPLAUSE] AND WE CAN'T HAVE A PRESIDENT THAT GOES AND TAKES A BILL AND ARBITRARILY RIGHTS THE SIGNING STATEMENT SAYING I ONLY LIKE PART OF THIS BILL, AND GOING TO IGNORE THE OTHER PART. NO PRESIDENTIAL SIGNING STATEMENT IS TO HAVE LINE ITEM VETOES. [CHEERS AND APPLAUSE] BUT WHAT ABOUT THE BUREAUCRATS IN WASHINGTON? DO YOU THINK THEY SHOULD HAVE THE POWER TO WRITE ALL? WHERE DID THEY GET THIS POWER. ONLY THE CONGRESS IS SUPPOSED TO WRITE THE LAWS, AND GET BUREAUCRATS ARE WRITING OF THE LAWS ALL THE TIME. JUST THINK OF THE FEDERAL REGISTER. VOLUMES AND VOLUMES AND VOLUMES AND YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND EVERY SINGLE REGULATION YOU CAN GET INTO BIG TROUBLE. AND YET ISN'T IT WONDERFUL, ISN'T IT WONDERFUL THAT THE CONSTITUTION IS NOT COMPLEX? WE CAN READ IT AND MOST SCHOOL KIDS SHOULD BE ABLE TO UNDERSTAND IT. [CHEERS AND APPLAUSE] BUT THAT MIGHT BE ONE OF THE REASONS THE CONSTITUTION IS NOT TAUGHT IN PUBLIC SCHOOLS BECAUSE IF WE RAISE UP A NEW GENERATION OF INDIVIDUALS THEY MIGHT REALIZE THAT THIS WHOLE SYSTEM OF GOVERNMENT WE ARE INHERITING AND WE ARE WORKING WITH AND TRYING TO CHANGE IS UNCONSTITUTIONAL. WE SHOULDN'T HAVE IT. [CHEERS AND APPLAUSE] ANOTHER REASON WHY WE HAVE LOST THE REPUBLIC, IT DIDN'T COME ALL OF A SUDDEN. IT HAS COME SLOWLY AND INSIDIOUSLY. THE LAST YEARS HAVE BEEN TOUGH ON THE REPUBLIC BUT IT STARTED IMMEDIATELY AFTER THE CONSTITUTION. THE JEFFERSONIAN IS OFFERED WITH THE HAMBLETONIAN'S AND TALK TO THE CENTRAL BANKING AND BIG GOVERNMENT AND SEDITION ACTS AND SO THE FIGHTS WERE GOING ON VERY EARLY TO UNDERMINE THESE PRINCIPLES THAT THE FOUNDERS UNDERSTOOD. BUT TODAY IT HAS BEEN MORE RAPID. IT'S INSIDIOUS AND SLOW BUT I THINK WHAT HAS ALLOWED SO MANY PEOPLE TO SLEEP IS WE HAVE BEEN PRETTY PROSPEROUS. WE ARE STILL FAIRLY PROSPEROUS. BUT THERE IS A BIG DIFFERENCE TODAY IN WHY THE PEOPLE ARE AWAKENING IS THEY KNOW IT IS AN ILLUSION. THEY KNOW THE PROSPERITY IS ACTUALLY GOING DOWN AND THEY ARE STARTING TO REALIZE THIS PROSPERITY COMES FROM TOO MUCH BORROWING AND TOO MUCH SPENDING AND TOO MUCH INFLATION. [CHEERS AND APPLAUSE] [CHANTING] [CHANTING] [CHANTING] I HAVEN'T EVEN GOTTEN TO THAT PART YET. [CHEERS AND APPLAUSE] WILL YOU DO IT AGAIN WHEN I GET TO THAT PART? [CHEERS AND APPLAUSE] YOU KNOW, IT IS SAID THAT WE ARE HAVING THIS THREAT OF TERRORISM BECAUSE OF THE CLASS OF CIVILIZATION. ANOTHER CIVILIZATION WANTS TO ATTACK US BECAUSE WE ARE A CERTAIN CIVILIZATION. I HAVEN'T BOUGHT INTO THAT BUT THERE'S THIS SOME RELIGIOUS PROBLEMS IN THE WORLD THAT HELPS CONTRIBUTE TO THIS AND THERE'S A FOREIGN POLICY THAT HELPS CONTRIBUTE BUT THAT I DO BELIEVE THERE IS A REAL CLASH ARGUMENT BETWEEN RADICAL MUSLIM FUNDAMENTALIST IN CONTRAST TO SECULAR MUSLIMS. IT JUST HAPPENS WE AS A NATION HAVE ALLY OURSELVES WITH SECULAR MUSLIMS IMPOSE OUR WILL BY PROPPING UP THESE GOVERNMENTS IN THE MIDDLE EAST ANTAGONIZING AND ACTUALLY GIVING MOTIVATION TO THE RADICALISM THAT WANTS TO COME HERE TO KILL US. [CHEERS AND APPLAUSE] BUT WHY SHOULD THAT BE SO STRANGE? WHAT IF SOMEBODY CAME OVER HERE THAT LOOKED DIFFERENT THAN US AND DIFFERENT RELIGION AND DIFFERENT VALUES AND PUT AN AIR BASE ON OUR LAND? THE ONLY GOOD THING IS THIS A COUNTRY WOULD BE TOTALLY UNIFIED BECAUSE WE WOULD RESENT THE ENFORCEMENT AND THE OPPOSITION OF ANY FOREIGN POWER ON OUR LAND. [CHEERS AND APPLAUSE] CIVILIZATION ADVANCES WHEN YOU HAVE LESS POWER IN GOVERNMENT. THE MORE POWER YOU HAVE IN GOVERNMENT, THE MORE THEY RESORT TO THE ANCIENT TRADITION OF THE WARRIORS SPIRIT. THE WARRIOR SPIRIT WHERE EVERYTHING IS GAINED BY GOING OUT AND ROBBING AND KILLING AND PONDERING. AND TODAY IT IS A LITTLE BIT DIFFERENT. THEY PLUNDERED, THE PLUNDER THREE AND EIGHT AND THE CURRENCY AND TAXATION BUT IT'S STILL PLUNDERING BUT IT IS POWER IN THE HAND OF GOVERNMENT. WE HAD AN EXAMPLE, BEAUTIFUL EXAMPLE OF MINIMAL POWER IN OUR GOVERNMENT AND THEN WE HAD MAXIMUM PRODUCTIVITY AT MAXING MAXIMUM WEALTH. BUT TODAY WE THINK TOO MUCH OF THE WEALTH AND BELIEVE THE GOVERNMENT PROVIDES THIS RATHER OF AN UNDERSTANDING THAT WEALTH AND PROSPERITY COMES FROM FREEDOM AND PRODUCTIVITY AND NOT FROM THE GOVERNMENT. [CHEERS AND APPLAUSE] ONE OTHER THING THAT WE HAVE DONE TO HELP CONTRIBUTE TO THE LOSS OF OUR REPUBLIC HAS BEEN THIS NOTION THAT WE SHOULD GIVE UP SOME OF OUR LIBERTIES TO BE SAFE AND SECURE. [BOOING] THERE IS ABSOLUTELY NEVER A REASON TO GIVE UP 1 OUNCE OF FREEDOM FOR THE SAKE OF SECURITY. IT WON'T WORK. [CHEERS AND APPLAUSE] BESIDES OUR FLOOR FOREIGN POLICY, THERE WERE A FEW OTHER PROBLEMS THAT CONTRIBUTED TO 9/11. ONE WAS OUR LACK OF CLEAR UNDERSTANDING OF HOW THE SECOND BOND MATT IS SUPPOSED TO WORK. AND ONCE AGAIN EVEN BEFORE 9/11 IT WAS ASSUMED THE GOVERNMENT WOULD TAKE CARE OF US AND BE SAFE. THEY WERE IN CHARGE OF AIRPORT SECURITY AND AFTER HIJACKING WAS IN THE 70'S WE WERE ALL TAUGHT ONE THING YOU NEVER DO IS RESIST ANYBODY THAT WANTS TO TAKE OVER AN AIRPLANE AND CERTAINLY THE AIRLINE WOULDN'T BE ALLOWED TO HAVE GONE ON THE AIRPLANE. THAT WOULD BE TERRIBLE. BUT, YOU KNOW, WE HAVE COMPANIES IN THIS COUNTRY STILL TODAY, THESE COMPANIES ARMORED CARS AND THEY CARRY MONEY AROUND AND HAVE GUNS AND THEY DO PRETTY GOOD JOB PROTECTING THEIR CARGO BUT WE WERE HANDICAPPED IN THIS COUNTRY BECAUSE WE WERE DEPENDENT ON THE GOVERNMENT AND OUR CARGO AND PASSENGERS WERE NOT AS PROTECTED AS THEY SHOULD HAVE BEEN. THEY SAID THEY ARE TOO DANGEROUS BUT CAN YOU IMAGINE WHAT FOR AIRPLANES OR FOUR GUNS OR JUST THE KNOWLEDGE OF THE GUNS WERE THERE WOULD HAVE PREVENTED THE WHOLE THING. [CHEERS AND APPLAUSE] THERE HAVE BEEN SOME SERIOUS CONSEQUENCE OF OUR LACK OF RESPECT AND OUR LOSS OF LIBERTY AND LACK OF CONCERN IN DEFENSE OF OUR PUBLIC AND WE ARE SUFFERING THE CONSEQUENCES. THIS IS WHAT WE ARE TALKING ABOUT. HOW CAN WE REVERSE THIS TREND? I THINK WE HAVE TO UNDERSTAND WHAT HAPPENED, WHAT THE PROBLEMS WERE, AND WHAT WE HAVE TO AIM FOR. BUT WE'VE HAD A LOT OF PROBLEMS BECAUSE OF THIS. NUMBER ONE, ECONOMIC PROBLEMS, BECAUSE THEY DO NOT UNDERSTAND THE CONSTITUTION AND ECONOMICS ARE MONETARY. I MEAN, IT IS VERY CLEAR WHAT WE SHOULD BE DOING. THE FOUNDERS KNEW AND UNDERSTOOD SOMETHING ABOUT INFLATION. RUNAWAY INFLATION, THE CONTINENTAL DOLLAR WAS DEVASTATING TO THE ECONOMY SO THEY WERE EXPLICIT. THEY SAID NO CREDIT, NO PRINTING MONEY, NO PAPER MONEY AND THE ONLY GOLD AND SILVER SHOULD BE LEGAL TENDER. [CHEERS AND APPLAUSE] [CHANTING] [CHANTING] NOT YET. I DIDN'T GIVE YOU A SIGNAL YET. NOW IT COMES. THERE IS NO AUTHORITY IN THE CONSTITUTION OF THE RISING A CENTRAL BANK WHICH MEANS THERE SHOULD BE NO FEDERAL RESERVE SYSTEM. [CHEERS AND APPLAUSE] [CHANTING] [CHANTING] CAN YOU BELIEVE 18 MONTHS AGO THE BEGINNING OF THIS CAMPAIGN I DIDN'T BELIEVE ANY OF YOU EXISTED AND CARE ABOUT OR UNDERSTOOD ANYTHING ABOUT THE FEDERAL RESERVE? IT'S GREAT. [CHEERS AND APPLAUSE] YOU KNOW, AS A CONSEQUENCE OF OUR LACK OF CONCERN FOR THE PROTECTION OF LIBERTY IS WE HAVE SUFFERED TREMENDOUSLY FROM THIS. WE DON'T HAVE PRIVACY ANYMORE. WE PASS BILLS LIKE THE PATRIOT ACT AND FISA LEGISLATION, AND THE ONE MILITARY COMMISSIONS ACT, NO MILITARY COMMISSIONS ACT. WE NEED TO DEFEND HABEAS CORPUS. [CHEERS AND APPLAUSE] AND THE ONE THING WE DON'T NEED A THEY ARE DOING IN THE NAME OF CATCHING ALL THOSE POTENTIAL TERRORISTS, AS WE DID NOT NEED AND SHOULD NOT ACCEPT A NATIONAL ID CARD. [CHEERS AND APPLAUSE] [CHANTING] [CHANTING] THIS IS ANOTHER WAR THAT HAS BEEN GOING ON FOR A GOOD MANY YEARS BUT ESPECIALLY SINCE THE EARLY 70'S. WE SPENT HUNDREDS AND HUNDREDS OF BILLIONS OF DOLLARS ON THIS PARTICULAR WAR BUT SPEND MORE ON AMERICAN CITIZENS, MORE THAN HAS BEEN A WAR THAT CHANGED THESE CONDITIONS. AT THAT IS THE WAR ON DRUGS WHICH HAS BEEN A COMPLETE AND TOTAL FAILURE. [CHEERS AND APPLAUSE] THE WAR HAS LED, THE WAR ON DRUGS HAS LED US TO A CONDITION WHERE THE STATE'S PASS LAWS THAT SAY THAT IF YOU HAPPEN TO BE IFILL, YOU ARE SICK, GETTING CHEMOTHERAPY, YOU HAVE AIDS AND YOU GET BENEFITS BY SMOKING MARIJUANA AND THE LAW PERMITS YOU TO DO IT, WHICH SHOULD BE PERMISSIBLE IN A REPUBLIC. NO, THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT ACTUALLY OF ARRESTS SICK PEOPLE IN THE NAME OF COMPASSIONATE CONSERVATISM PUTTING PEOPLE IN PRISON. [BOOING] BUT SOME SAY WELL, IT IS DANGEROUS. YOU MIGHT DO OTHER THINGS AND IT'S A DANGER TO YOU AND WHAT YOU DO WITH YOUR OWN BODY. YOU KNOW, I MADE A COMMENT ONCE ON A SPEECH ON THE HOUSE FLOOR. I SAID YES, SOME OF THE STRONGEST DRUG WARRIORS IN WASHINGTON, D.C. RED ANT AND RAVE ABOUT THE POSSIBILITY OF A SICK PERSON USING MARIJUANA FOR THEIR ILLNESS AT THE SAME TIME AND AGAIN AND GUESS WHAT? THEY HAVE NO HESITATION TO AN IN FIVE IN THAT DRUG, ALCOHOL, AND MORE DANGEROUS DRUG. [CHEERS AND APPLAUSE] IN THE DRUG WAR IT'S CAUSED US TO DO SO MANY FOOLISH THINGS. NOT ONLY IT IS A VIOLATION OF FREEDOM OF CHOICE AND TAKING YOUR OWN RISK. IT VIOLATES THE CONCEPT OF STATE RIGHTS AND STATE LEGISLATION. BUT IT ALSO HAS DONE SOMETHING RATHER WEIRD IN MANY WAYS. AS A WHOLE IDEA, IT IS ONLY RECENT. IT'S IN THE LIFETIME OF MANY OF US HERE. IT WAS THE FIRST FEDERAL LAW AGAINST THE USE OF MARIJUANA OCCURRED IN 1937I BELIEVE. 1937 BEFORE THAT PEOPLE USE THAT, STATES HAD RIGHT TO REGULATE BUT IT'S A RECENT ONSET. BUT DURING THE WAR, IT WAS IMPORTANT THAT EIGHT RELATED PLAN TO MARIJUANA CALLED HEMP WAS USED. THEY WERE ENCOURAGED TO GROW IT. IT WAS USED DURING THE WAR TO MAKE CLOTHES AND MEDICAL PROBLEMS AND FOOD PRODUCTS OUT OF HEMP. BUT WE ARE ASSESSED AND CONFUSED AND WHAT IS THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT DO? IF YOU GO OUT AND PLANT HEMP YOU'RE GOING TO GO TO JAIL. WHAT'S GOING ON? [CHEERS AND[BOOING] THEY WILL TELL YOU KNOW, IT'S A DRUG. SOMEBODY MIGHT SMOKE IT. BUT YOU KNOW WHAT? TO GET HIGH ON A HEMP CIGARETTE THE CIGARETTE HAS TO BE AS BIG AS A TELEPHONE POLE. [CHEERS AND APPLAUSE] THIS IS A VERY, VERY SERIOUS ISSUE. AND THE LAST THING I EVER WANT TO LEAVE ANYBODY WITH IS THAT I THINK DRUGS ARE SAFE. I THINK DRUGS ARE VERY DANGEROUS. I THINK ILLEGAL DRUGS, THE ONES CURRENTLY ILLEGAL, ARE VERY DANGEROUS AND WE SHOULD BE CAUTIOUS ABOUT IT. BUT I ALSO, AS A PHYSICIAN, RECOGNIZE THE GREAT DANGER OF PRESCRIPTION DRUGS. [CHEERS AND APPLAUSE] WHAT ABOUT THE GOVERNMENT MANDATING MENTAL HEALTH FOR ALL OUR SCHOOL KIDS. [BOOING] AND WHEN THEY RUN THESE PROGRAMS THEY FIND THAT 10% OF OUR STUDENTS REALLY NEED HELP WITH THESE PSYCHOTROPIC DRUGS. THAT IS THE KIND OF DRUG REGULATION THAT WE NEEDED TO STOP. [CHEERS AND APPLAUSE] BUT THIS, THIS WILL ISSUE OF HEMP IS RATHER FASCINATING. NOT ONLY THE IDEA OF PERSONAL CHOICES AND STATES' RIGHTS, BUT ALSO BOOSTED THE COMPLICATIONS THAT COME FROM IT. SO, WHAT DO WE DO? WE TALK ABOUT OUR ENERGY PROBLEMS, AND WE DO BECAUSE GOVERNMENT IS TOO INVOLVED. THEY SUBSIDIZE ONE FORM OF ENERGY AND PROHIBIT THE OTHER FORM OF ENERGY. THEY PUT ROADBLOCKS IN FRONT OF NUCLEAR ENERGY AND GO IN AND SUBSIDIZE RAISING CORN TO MAKE ETHANOL WHICH DOESN'T MAKE ANY ECONOMIC SENSE. [BOOING] NOW, THE BRAZILIANS, THE BRAZILIANS KNOW HOW TO MAKE ETHANOL FROM SUGARCANE. AND THEY CAN ACTUALLY SELL AS ETHANOL MADE IN BRAZIL CHEAPER THAN WE CAN MAKE IT FROM CORN IN THIS COUNTRY, BUT WHAT HAPPENED? WE PUT A TARIFF ON IT TO PUNISH FOR IT. [BOOING] BUT THERE IS A BETTER SOURCE OF ETHANOL, AND IT HAPPENS TO BE HEMP. [CHEERS AND APPLAUSE] THE FOUNDERS WERE GREAT. THEY KNEW HOW IMPORTANT FREEDOM OF CHOICE IS AND HOW VALUABLE THE MARKETPLACE IS. GOVERNMENT BUREAUCRATS AND POLITICIANS ARE INCAPABLE OF MAKING CORRECT ECONOMIC DECISIONS. THEY ARE CAPABLE OF ONLY MAKING MISTAKES. [CHEERS AND APPLAUSE] THIS WHOLE NOTION OF THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT HAS TO TELL US, YOU KNOW, WHAT WE CAN EAT AND DRINK AND SMOKE LEADS TO SOME OTHER SILLY THINGS. BECAUSE TODAY THERE ARE -- CAN YOU BELIEVE THIS, CAN YOU BELIEVE THAT THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT HAS REGULATIONS ON THE DELIVERY OF RAW MILK? [BOOING] NOW THAT ISRAEL DANGEROUS, GIVING YOU THAT MUCH FREEDOM YOU CAN'T MAKE UP YOUR OWN MIND ABOUT WHETHER OR NOT YOU CAN DRINK WHOLE MILK. BUT THERE ARE RESTRICTIONS AND RESTRAINTS, AND IT JUST GOES ON AND ON. AND IT COMES FROM THE CONCESSION WE NEED A LITTLE BIT OF GOVERNMENT OR A LITTLE BIT OF WELFARE. I'VE HEARD SO MANY TIMES OVER THE YEARS, GUESS I'M OPPOSED TO THIS WELFARE SYSTEM. I'M OPPOSED TO THIS, UNLESS YOU NEED IT. BUT IF YOU CAN SAY THERE'S ONLY A FEW PEOPLE THAT NEED IT, AND THERE HAS TO BE A SAFETY NET. THE PROBLEM WITH THAT ARGUMENT IS YOU ASSUME IT'S GOING TO BE A SMALL PERCENTAGE OF PEOPLE THAT ARE GOING TO GET THE HELP BUT YOU HAVE CONCEDED 100% OF THE PRINCIPAL. [CHEERS AND APPLAUSE] AND THEN, AND THEN WHAT HAPPENS IS IF THERE'S SOMETHING THAT COMES FOR FREE TO SUBSIDIZE SOMETHING YOU GET MORE OF OR AT LEAST TO THE DEVASTATING COMPLICATIONS OF WHAT WELFARE SOCIETY COMES TO. BUT NOT ONLY THAT IS SO OFTEN THE GOOD MOTIVATIONS, THE MORAL HIGH GROUND THE OTHER SIDE SO OFTEN HAS IS IT DOESN'T WORK OUT. IT DOESN'T REALLY HELP THOSE PEOPLE WHETHER IT IS DOMESTIC WELFARE OR NATIONAL OR FOUR IN WELFARE. WHAT IS GENERALLY HELPS ARE THE PEOPLE WHO ARE IN POWER AND IN CONTROL OF THE CORPORATIONS. IF YOU HAVE A HOUSING PROGRAM, AND WE JUST WITNESS WHAT HAPPENS WHEN THE GOVERNMENT GETS INVOLVED IN CORRECTING HOUSING MONEY AND THE INVESTMENT THROUGH THE FEDERAL RESERVE. SO, WHAT THEY DO IS THEY END UP DOING THE SAME THING OVER AND OVER AGAIN AND WHAT WE NEED TO DO IS BREAK UP THIS CYCLE AND SAY THAT WE HAVE TO STOP THIS BECAUSE IF NOT, YOU KNOW, IT WILL BANKRUPT AND DESTROY OUR COUNTRY AND DESTROY OUR LIBERTIES. [CHEERS AND APPLAUSE] THERE IS ONE INITIO THAT FREQUENTLY I BARELY MENTIONED AND I'M GOING TO TALK ABOUT A LITTLE IT MORE TONIGHT. AND THAT IS A BUM RAP WE GET FOR PEOPLE WHO BELIEVE IN FREEDOM THAT DON'T CARE ABOUT THE ENVIRONMENT. YOU KNOW, THAT IS JUST NOT TRUE. THE ENVIRONMENT, IF YOU THINK ABOUT, HAS BEEN DAMAGED VERY OFTEN BY BAD FEDERAL GOVERNMENT REGULATIONS, THE DEPENDENCY ON GOVERNMENT TO BUILD OUR RIVERS AND DAMS AND OUR LEVEES AND SAY THE GOVERNMENT WILL TAKE CARE OF LOSS AND THEY BUILD THEM IN THE WRONG PLACES AND WE HAVE THESE CONSEQUENCES. BUT THE ENVIRONMENT CAN BE PROTECTED BY THE MARKETPLACE AND STRICT ADHERENCE TO PROPERTY RIGHTS. PEOPLE DO NOT -- [CHEERS AND APPLAUSE] .. HAVE WONDERED, OUNG RESTLE. [ LAUG UR ARE AT REED THE TO YOUR OWN LIFE BUT YOU DON'T HAVE A RIGHT TO DO ANY HARM TO YOUR NEIGHBOR'S PROPERTY OR ANOTHER PERSON. THAT IS THE ONE LIMITATION THAT WE HAVE. [APPLAUSE]
01:00:26	>>	ONE THING I BELIEVE IS COMING AS A CONSEQUENCE OF THE CAMPAIGN, THE CAMPAIGN IN THE PRIMARY HAS BEEN TRANSITIONED IN THE CAMPAIGN FOR LIBERTY. AND NOW WE'VE HAD A GRAND THREE DAYS AND WE'RE CLIMAXING THAT CAMPAIGN RIGHT NOW. AND THERE'S EVERY REASON IN THE WORLD FOR US TO BE ENERGIZED. [APPLAUSE] [APPLAUSE]
01:01:01	>>	ALL I CAN SAY -- ALL I CAN SAY IS THAT A YEAR, YEAR AND A HALF AGO I HAD NO IDEA WHAT IT WOULD LEAD TO AND IT'S LEAD TO MORE THAN I EVER DREAMED OF BUT I FIRMLY BELIEVE THAT OUR DAY IS COMING. [APPLAUSE]
01:01:28	>>	THE CONDITIONS ARE SUCH THAT THERE IS ROOM NOW FOR THE DEFENSE OF LIBERTY, AND THE PEOPLE KNOW THAT THE SYSTEM WE HAVE IS NOT WORKING. IT'S NOT WORKING ECONOMICALLY. IT'S NOT WORKING MONETARILY. OUR FOREIGN POLICY IS NOT WORKING. AND, THEREFORE, THEY ARE LOOKING FOR ANSWERS. THEY WILL NOT WELCOME US WITH OPEN ARMS. WE HAVE FOUND THAT OUT. BUT THERE IS A VACUUM OUT THERE. AND THE VACUUM IS NOT IN ONE POLITICAL PARTY. IT IS PERVASIVE. IT'S THROUGHOUT THE COUNTRY. IT IS THROUGHOUT THE POLITICAL SYSTEM. BUT OUR VIEWS ARE JUST AS PERVASIVE. IDEAS SPREAD. THEY CAN'T STOP THEM. AN IDEA WHOSE TIME HAS COME CANNOT BE STOPPED BY ANY ARMY OR ANY GOVERNMENT. [APPLAUSE] CHA MORNING POSTN [APPLAUSE] REP [APPLAUSE] [CHANTING] [CHANTING] [CHANTING] RON PAUL! RON PAUL! RON PAUL! RON PAUL! RON PAUL! RON PAUL! RON PAUL! RON PAUL! RON PAUL! RON PAUL! RON PAUL!
01:02:52	>>	YOU KNOW, THEY LIKE TO DESCRIBE US AS BEING ON THE FRINGE AND A LITTLE BIT COOKIE NOW AND THEN. BUT ISN'T THAT -- [APPLAUSE]
01:03:00	>>	ISN'T THAT RATHER STRANGE? WE TALK ABOUT THESE STRANGE THINGS LIKE BALANCED BUDGET, PERSONAL LIBERTY, PRIVACY, A SOUND NATIONAL DEFENSE, DEFEND THIS COUNTRY. AND THEY WANT TO SAY THAT THESE ARE BIZARRE IDEAS. BUT IT'S TIME NOW FOR JUST VERY GOOD COMMONSENSE. YOU KNOW, THEY HARP ABOUT THE NEED TO BE AROUND THE WORLD. AND RIGHT NOW THE CANDIDATES OUT THERE, THE MAJOR PARTIES, DON'T HAVE REAL DIFFERENCES IN THEIR FOREIGN POLICY. THEY BOTH WANT MORE TROOPS IN AFGHANISTAN. THEY WANT TO MAINTAIN BASES IN THE MIDDLE EAST FOR A LONG TIME. THEY WANT TO THREATEN IRAN. LO AND BEHOLD, BOTH CANDIDATES NOW THINK WE SHOULD SEND MORE OF YOUR MONEY TO GEORGIA TO PROTECT THAT OIL LINE. [BOOING]
01:03:59	>>	THAT'S NOT THE STATE OF GEORGIA EIT5 I TOLD SOMEBODY ONCE -- HERE WE ARE MESSING WITH GEORGIA. BEFORE WE KNOW IT, WE'LL BE SENDING TROOPS OVER THERE AND OUR KIDS WILL BE DYING OVER THERE. SINCE THEY GOT OUT OF PUBLIC SCHOOL, THEY PROBABLY DON'T EVEN KNOW WHERE THE COUNTRY OF GEORGIA IS. AND SOMEBODY SAID, THEY PROBABLY DON'T EVEN KNOW WHERE THE STATE OF GEORGIA IS. [LAUGHTER]
01:04:26	>>	BUT IT IS POSITIVELY AMAZING HOW THE WAR DRUMS CAN BEAT AND HOW THE PROPAGANDA MACHINE CAN WORK AND HOW THIS COUNTRY IS, YOU KNOW -- CAN BE BUILT UP TO PRACTICALLY WANT TO GO TO WAR AGAINST IRAN. DO YOU KNOW IRAN SPENDS -- IRAN SPENDS 1% AS MUCH MONEY ON THEIR NATIONAL DEFENSE AS WE SPEND. THEY HAVE NO MISSILES, NO AIRPLANES, NO TANKS, AND NO NUCLEAR WEAPONS. THE U.N. INSPECTOR SAY WE DON'T HAVE IT AND WE'RE SUPPOSED TO BE INTIMIDATED AND SCARED AND WE PUT ANTIBALLISTIC MISSILES ON THE BORDER OF RUSSIA BECAUSE THE IRANIANS MIGHT SHOOT MISSILES AT US THAT THEY DON'T EVEN HAVE. [LAUGHTER]
01:05:10	>>	THE IRANIANS -- IF YOU WANT TO PUT IT IN PERSPECTIVE, THEY DON'T EVEN REFINE THEIR OWN GASOLINE AND WE'RE SUPPOSED TO BE FRIGHTENED AND INTIMIDATED BY THEM. WE GOT TO GET THE TRUTH OUT IS WHAT WE NEED. [APPLAUSE]
01:05:37	>>	THE WONDERFUL THING ABOUT RESTORING THE REPUBLIC AND RESTORING OUR INTEREST IN LIBERTY IS THAT IS THE KEY TO RELEASING CREATIVE ENERGY. CREATIVE ENERGY ONLY COMES FROM INDIVIDUALS. IT IS NOT COLLECTIVE. YOU CAN'T HAVE COLLECTIVE FARMS. IT DOESN'T WORK. BUT ENERGY AND CREATIVITY COMES FROM THE INDIVIDUAL. AND WE SAW THAT TODAY BY THE CREATIVE ARTIST. THERE ARE INDIVIDUALS WHO CAN BE INDIVIDUALS BECAUSE THEY ARE CREATIVE. WE ARE ALL INDIVIDUALS. AND THE STRONGEST MOTIVATION IN THE WORLD IS TO TAKE CARE OF OURSELVES. WE SHOULDN'T BE EMBARRASSED BY THAT. WE'RE ALLOWED TO. WE'RE RESPONSIBLE TO TAKE CARE OF OURSELVES. WE SHOULD BE EMBARRASSED BY ASKING SOMEBODY ELSE TO TAKE CARE OF US. [APPLAUSE] W,ITH IS TRACK ,
01:06:36	>>	THE WONDERFUL PART ABOUT A FREE SOCIETY, YOU ELIMINATE ENTIRELY VICTIMS. THERE ARE NO VICTIMS. YOU MAY BE A VICTIM OF BAD JUDGMENT BUT YOU'RE NOT A VICTIM OF THE GOVERNMENT TAKING MONEY FROM YOU AND GIVING IT TO SOMEBODY ELSE AND WASTING IT. YOU KNOW, I HAVE A BUMPER STICKER IN MY OFFICE, ON MY DESK THAT IS RATHER POPULAR. IT SAYS "DON'T STEAL. THE GOVERNMENT HATES THE COMPETITION." [APPLAUSE]
01:07:11	>>	SOME PEOPLE WORRY THAT OUR NUMBERS AREN'T GREAT ENOUGH. THAT WE DON'T HAVE 51% OF THE POPULATION BEHIND US. BUT IDEAS ONLY NEED TO BE LED BY 5 TO 10% OF THE PEOPLE. THEY CAN BRING ABOUT A REVOLUTION. AND TODAY -- [APPLAUSE] PERIENCEFT AEAR CE AND SOY
01:07:39	>>	BUT TODAY I HEARD A STATISTIC THAT SHOWS THAT OUR NUMBERS ARE MUCH GREATER THAN THAT, EVEN IN THE BASE OF THE REPUBLICAN PARTY. JUST THINK HOW STRONG THEY ARE THROUGHOUT THE WHOLE COUNTRY. [APPLAUSE]
01:07:59	>>	BUT THE ONE THING THAT I WOULD WISH THOSE INDIVIDUALS WHO ARE NOT HERE TONIGHT BECAUSE I KNOW YOU UNDERSTAND IT, AND THAT IS THE COUNTERFEIT OFFERS FROM OTHERS WHO SAY THAT WE WILL TAKE OF YOU. WE WILL BRING ABOUT CHANGE AND WE ARE THE PEACE CANDIDATE AND WE WILL RALLY YOUNG PEOPLE. THOSE ARE COUNTERFEIT BECAUSE WHEN YOU LOOK AT THE DESCRIPTION OF WHAT THEY ARE TALKING ABOUT, IT'S JUST MORE OF THE SAME. AND I THINK YOU CAN SENSE THAT. YOU KNOW THE DIFFERENCE. [APPLAUSE]
01:08:35	>>	WHAT WE HAVE WHEN WE HAVE A FREE SOCIETY, WE REJECT THE IDEA OF PEOPLE BEING LEECHES AND LOOTERS AND PLUNDERS. WE DON'T NEED THEM. WE NEED SELF-RELIANCE, SELF-RESPECT AND TAKING CARE OF OURSELVES. THAT IS WHAT MAKES THE NATION MOVE. [APPLAUSE]
01:09:02	>>	I HAVE BEEN ASKED THESE LAST SEVERAL DAYS QUITE FREQUENTLY, WHAT AM I DOING THIS FOR? WHAT'S THE PURPOSE OF ALL THIS? AND IN MANY WAYS IT IS TO SEND A MESSAGE. THERE IS NO DOUBT ABOUT IT. AND I HAVE ADVOCATED THAT THE MESSAGE IS VERY, VERY IMPORTANT AND I'VE ALSO ENCOURAGED IT TO BE NONCONFRONTATIONAL AND TO THINK THAT WE'LL BE DISRUPTIVE AND DOING THINGS THAT DOESN'T REALLY ACHIEVE ANYTHING AND THEY PAINT US IN A BAD LIGHT BUT THERE IS NO DOUBT, PHILOSOPHICALLY, THAT THE MESSAGE HAS TO BE SENT. NOW, YES, MANY OF US ARE WORKING IN THE REPUBLICAN PARTY. I'VE WORK IN THE REPUBLICAN PARTY. BUT THIS IS MUCH BIGGER THAN THE REPUBLICAN PARTY. YES! [APPLAUSE]
01:09:51	>>	SO I ENCOURAGE PEOPLE, IF THEY WANT TO WORK IN THE REPUBLICAN PARTY AND THE CAMPAIGN FOR LIBERTY CERTAINLY WILL BE TO HAVE AN INFLUENCE, BUT WE NEED TO SEND A MESSAGE. IT'S THE PHILOSOPHIC MESSAGE BUT IN A TRUE REVOLUTION, BELIEVE ME, THE REVOLUTION DOESN'T OCCUR WITH A SINGLE POLITICAL PARTY. A TRUE REVOLUTION THEN THOSE VIEWS WILL BE REFLECTED IN THE REPUBLICAN PARTY, IN THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY AND IN THE INDEPENDENT PARTY AND EVERYBODY IN THE COUNTRY WILL BE AFFECTED. [APPLAUSE]u)
01:10:35	>>	ONE SUBJECT THAT COMES UP, NOT TOO INFREQUENTLY, MORE THESE DAYS THAN EVEN BEFORE, AND IT WAS HINTED AT TODAY WITH SOME OF THE SPEAKERS, YOU KNOW, WHEN DO WE GET SO DISSATISFIED WITH OUR CURRENT OPERATION IN TRYING TO BRING ABOUT CHANGE? AND SOME ARE ALREADY DISSATISFIED. SOME EVEN -- THAT BELIEVE THE WAY WE DO ARE FRUSTRATED WITH THE SLOWNESS OF WHAT WE DO AND THEY WANT TO DO THINGS IN A MUCH MORE AGGRESSIVE MANNER. BUT I THINK THERE IS A TIME AND A PLACE FOR THAT. BUT THERE IS A TIME AND PLACE, I THINK, FOR PEACEFUL, CIVIL DISOBEDIENCE. [APPLAUSE]
01:11:24	>>	THE CHANGES -- THE CHANGES BROUGHT ABOUT BY GANDHI AND MARTIN LUTHER KING WERE PEACEFUL, AND THEY KNEW -- THEY KNEW AND UNDERSTOOD THE CONSEQUENCES, AND WE DO KNOW THAT PEOPLE IN OUR MOVEMENT HAVE ALREADY SUFFERED THE CONSEQUENCES BECAUSE THEY MAY BE 100% CORRECT ON THE TAX CODE AND THE MONETARY ISSUE AND THEY END UP BEHIND BARS. SO THAT IS THE CONSEQUENCE. AND THERE MAY BE A TIME COMING THAT SAY THIS FOREIGN POLICY GETS OUT OF HAND, WHICH I WORRY ABOUT ALL THE TIME, BECAUSE BOTH PARTIES ENDORSE MORE MILITARYISM. ONE THING THAT WE HAVE FOUND OUT ABOUT THE INCIDENT IN GEORGIA -- EVEN IF WE WANTED TO OR HAD NEEDED TO, WE DIDN'T HAVE THE TROOPS TO DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT. WE HAVE WEAKENED OUR NATIONAL DEFENSE. YOU KNOW WHAT THAT MEANS? THOSE WHO WANT TO PURSUE THE EMPIRE WILL REINSTITUTE THE DRAFT. WE SHOULD NOT EVER HAVE A DRAFT. [BOOING]
01:12:26	>>	BUT THERE WOULD BE SOME TOUGH DECISIONS. THERE WOULD BE A LOT OF TOUGH DECISIONS TO MAKE ABOUT WHEN TO PRACTICE THIS. AND IF THERE IS A DRAFT, THOSE WILL BE VERY, VERY HARD DECISIONS, BUT THEY HAVE HAD TO BE MADE BEFORE AND THEY COULD AGAIN. I HAVE ALWAYS RESORTED TO SAY I DON'T LIKE IT AND I WANT TO RESIST IT AND I WANT TO CHANGE AND AS LONG AS THE SYSTEM IS AVAILABLE IT ME TO RUN FOR OFFICE AND TO RALLY THE TROOPS, THIS IS THE WAY I WILL BE WORKING. [APPLAUSE]
01:13:03	>>	HOW DID YOU LIKE AMY ALLEN TODAY? [APPLAUSE]
01:13:13	>>	THEY WERE ALL GOOD BUT SHE SANG A SONG AND SHE PROBABLY TOLD YOU THE UNIVERSAL SOLDIER AND SHE SANG THAT FOR ME 'CAUSE I ASKED HER TO DO THAT. [APPLAUSE]
01:13:27	>>	AND THAT SENDS SUCH AN IMPORTANT MESSAGE TO ME PERSONALLY BECAUSE IT TALKS ABOUT REALLY THE ESSENCE OF DECISION-MAKING AND IT TALKS ABOUT WHEN YOU REALLY RESIST AND SHOULD YOU STRIKE? SHOULD YOU STRIKE AND NOT PARTICIPATE ANY LONGER? AND THAT SONG MAKES THE POINT THAT IT'S THE UNIVERSAL SOLDIER THAT ALLOWS THE BUREAUCRATS, POWER MONGERS IN WASHINGTON AND AROUND THE WORLD, THEY ENTICE YOU AND THEY GET YOUNG PEOPLE AND THEY MAKE YOU FEEL LIKE IF YOU DON'T GO ALONG, YOU'RE UNPATRIOTIC AND LIKE THE SONG SAYS, FOR 1,000 YEARS, THERE'S BEEN THE UNIVERSAL SOLDIER AND WHERE WOULD THE DICTATORS BE IF WE DIDN'T HAVE THE UNIVERSAL SOLDIER WILLING TO GO? THERE WOULD BE NO WARS. I THINK OF THE STORY OF THE EARLY DAYS OF WORLD WAR I ON CHRISTMAS EVE WHEN THEY STARTED, THEY TOOK A PAUSE AND THE GERMANS AND BRITISH STARTED SINGING CHRISTMAS CARROLLS AND THEY STARTED TO EXCHANGE GIFTS AND PUT UP A CHRISTMAS TREE AND A DAY OR TWO, THE GOVERNMENT SAYS YOU WILL NOT HAVE PEACE. YOU MUST GO BACK AND SHOOTING AND KILLING EACH OTHER AGAIN. TWO CHRISTIAN NATIONS KILLING EACH OTHER FOR SENSELESS REASONS. NO SENSE, WHATSOEVER, AND IT WAS THE CONTROL OF THE UNIVERSAL SOLDIER, AND I HAVE TO CONFESS, I'VE BEEN THE UNIVERSAL SOLDIER, TOO. YOU KNOW, AS A YOUNG MAN, AS A DOCTOR I WAS DRAFTED DURING THE CUBAN CRISIS AND ENDED UP SERVING NOT IN VIETNAM BUT IN THAT ERA. BUT THERE WERE TIMES WHEN PEOPLE WERE STARTING TO RESIST BUT I MARCHED OFF AND I WAS THE UNIVERSAL SOLDIER. AND THAT'S A TOUGH DECISION. WHAT WE NEED TO DO IS REPLACE THE UNIVERSAL SOLDIER IS THE UNIVERSAL CHAMPION OF LIBERTY. [APPLAUSE] FREEDOM! FREEDOM! FREEDOM! FREEDOM! FREEDOM!
01:15:44	>>	IN US -- JUST WHEN WE NEED A PRESIDENT TO DO LESS BUT RUN THE COUNTRY AND POLICE THE WORLD, WE NEED TO HAVE INDIVIDUALS WHO WILL STAND UP AND DEFEND OUR LIBERTIES. THAT IS WHAT WE NEED. FREEDOM REALLY IS THE ANSWER AND FORTUNATELY FOR US, FREEDOM IS STILL VERY POPULAR. [APPLAUSE] FREEDOM! FREEDOM! FREEDOM! FREEDOM! FREEDOM! FREEDOM! FREEDOM! FREEDOM! FREEDOM! FREEDOM! FREEDOM! FREEDOM! FREEDOM! FREEDOM! FREEDOM! FREEDOM!
01:16:20	>>	TRADITIONALLY OVER THE HISTORY OF MANKIND, GOVERNMENTS HAVE ALWAYS APPEALED TO IDEALISM, WHETHER IT'S TO DRAFT US AND CALL US UP IN DO DUTY AND IF YOU DON'T DO IT, YOU'RE UNPATRIOTIC, AND THIS IS THE PROBLEM THAT WE HAVE. THAT THEY ARE ALWAYS APPEALING TO THE IDEALISM AND THE IDEALISTS GO ALONG WITH IT BUT THEY DO EVIL THINGS. THEY GET PEOPLE TO GET PULLED IN BECAUSE THEY ARE IDEALISTS AND THEY WANT TO DO IT. WHY CAN'T WE DO THE SAME THING TO APPEAL TO THE IDEALISM OF THE OF THE YOUNG PEOPLE TO THE PEOPLE OF THE COUNTRY TO DO THE RIGHT THING? [APPLAUSE]
01:17:12	>>	LET ME CLOSE BY JUST GIVING YOU A STRONG WORD ENCOURAGEMENT, MAINLY BECAUSE I'VE BEEN VERY ENCOURAGED BY YOU, AND YOU HAVE GIVEN ME A WHOLE LOT. AND I SINCERELY BELIEVE -- I SINCERELY BELIEVE OUR DAY IS COMING. IT'S ONLY BEGINNING. WHAT HAS HAPPENED IN THESE LAST 18 OR 19 MONTHS HAVE BEEN PHENOMENAL. CAN YOU IMAGINE GOING FROM THOSE TWELVE SPAMMERS THAT WE HAD AT THE BEGINNING TO WHAT WE HAVE HERE TONIGHT. [APPLAUSE]
01:17:58	>>	WOW! SO IN 18 MONTHS, LET'S SAY WE HAD 1,000% INCREASE IN OUR NUMBERS OF ENERGETIC FREEDOM-FIGHTERS. WHAT IF WE HAVE 1,000% INCREASE WITH THOSE WHO ARE WITH US TODAY? WE HAVE A LARGE CROWD HERE TONIGHT. BUT WHAT ABOUT THE COUNTRY? WE'RE NOT TALKING ABOUT 10,000. WE'RE NOT TALKING ABOUT 100,000. WE'RE NOT EVEN TALKING ABOUT THE MILLION POINT TWO WHO ARE VOTED OUR ELECTION. WE'RE TALKING ABOUT MANY MILLIONS OF PEOPLE IN THIS COUNTRY AND AROUND THE WORLD WHO HAVE HEARD THIS MESSAGE, AND IT'S GROWING, AND IT SEEMS LIKE EVEN IF THEY TRY, THEY CAN'T STOP US. [APPLAUSE]
01:18:58	>>	SO ONCE AGAIN, I WANT TO THANK YOU FROM THE BOTTOM OF MY HEART FOR THE TRUST THAT YOU HAVE PLACED IN ME, BUT MORE SO, THE TRUST THAT YOU HAVE PLACED IN THE CONCEPT OF OUR GOD-GIVEN RIGHTS TO OUR LIFE AND OUR LIBERTY. THANK YOU VERY MUCH. [APPLAUSE] (music) (music) WELL, I WON'T BACK DOWN (music)(music) (music) NO, I WON'T BACK DOWN (music)(music) (music) YOU COULD STAND ME UP AT THE GATES OF HELL (music)(music) (music) BUT I WON'T BACK DOWN (music)(music) (music) NO, I'LL STAND MY GROUND (music)(music) (music) WON'T BE TURNED AROUND (music)(music) (music) AND I'LL KEEP THIS WORLD FROM DRAGGING ME DOWN, BUT I'LL STAND MY GROUND (music)(music) (music) AND I WON'T BACK DOWN (music)(music) (music) I WON'T BACK DOWN (music)(music) (music) HEY, BABY (music)(music) [APPLAUSE] (music) THERE AIN'T NO EASY WAY OUT (music)(music) (music) HEY, YEAH, I'LL STAND MY GROUND (music)(music) (music) NO, I WON'T BACK DOWN (music)(music) [APPLAUSE] (music) I WANT WHAT'S RIGHT (music)(music) [APPLAUSE] (music) AND I'LL STAND MY GROUND (music)(music) (music) AND I WON'T BACK DOWN (music)(music) [APPLAUSE] (music) HEY, BABY (music)(music) (music) THERE AIN'T NO EASY WAY OUT (music)(music) (music) HEY, YEAH, I'LL STAND MY GROUND (music)(music) (music) AND I WON'T BACK DOWN (music)(music) RON PAUL!
