my dad was might inspiration he taught me that it was nice to hate rich people but you can because no poor personal ever give you a job. the second is the republican party is not the party of the of rich but anybody who ever hopes to become rich and helps their kids become rich that is the message they make it like it is a party of the rich and big business but my goal and plan am not making an announcement on c-span but i have been a republican even as i am planning to run against harry reid in 2016. i think i will be tim i have no doubt and double-a-2 joint rand paul and the united states senate to bring back the constitution for this country to bring back what america was great.

a limited government government, god, family, per sonal responsibility and not everyone can expect the $100,000 pension the rest of their life. it just doesn't work. what is in my book shows the snapshot of what it does not work portugal, greece, france, it aly, spain, they are all bang craft. they follow the obama model. why would we follow it? he said our taxes were too low at 35% that is wonderful for the rich but guess what? creases taxes are 40% and he took us there was the obamacare tax that means congratulations america we are high year the increase. doesn't work? increase is starving and homeless they are dumpster diving is that what we want that is where obama is taking us.

>> host: you served as a libertarian party vice-presidential candidates >> i endorse mitt romney on fox news and will she won the election i am sorry he did not. he is a very nice man but not a good candidate he does not have the energy or the passion i do he did not have the guts or the stomach to run for president to be the president. he would make a much better president than me but i make a much better candidate because running for president is not a rah, to know but being american en idle and obama is greatly cannot run his treasury sold mitt romney cannot run for office you have to like blue-collar middle-class people and want to get out and kiss babies battle think

he likes to get down in bitter and roll it with the p.i.g.s.. i love to campaign soulfully i will join in rand paul in the senate. >> host: two of your survival tips and "the ultimate obama survival guide" is investing in farmland and agriculture and short of the government bond ponzi scheme. >> data know if you have interviewed jim rogers he is one of my hero's he will tell you that living on your land of the economy collapses you want to have a form. so farmland i think will go for a high price in the future just as it has over the last 10 years and i believe there could be valleys and peaks but it will continue to go up. it is smart to on agriculture stocks and on a

form i think the ponzi scheme will crash share -- in the day there was a great article on the government employee of the system this employee retired favorite given a $92,000 golden power-sharing -- parachutes for the last four years they were paid 900,000 for not working and staying at home. then when the two years were up they said all i want to collect every single patient -- vacation day before that then they got two more years to set at home then they collected vacation pay on the vacation days they just spent then she retired on $185,000 per year for the rest of her life. this is why the government bond ponzi scheme house to collapse. there is no money at the end of the ponzi scheme for those people that are not

working you should not pay somebody that to work led not to work of america will go the way of europe and we will crash and burn we have 22 million government employees all who want to retire on a six-figure income for not working for the rest of their lives from the age of 45 to the age of 90. 45 years to pay somebody not to work? the bond has to collapse the dollar has collapsed in cash and 1913 you kept in your mattress it is worth $40,000 because the dollar has lost 96% of its value so my book shows you how you can compound you have got in to make more money and protect your assets and educate your children and home school or kids my daughter never an a classroom and her entire life is going to receive your year of harvard per

make america the greatest in the world country. people were thinking this is malarkey i believe and what chart george washington james madison how could the tea party of the extreme when we believe in the u.s. constitution a limited government just like the founding fathers? of that is extreme i am guilty as charged. >> host: as a senator what could do it a fact as change? >> even being in the minority of the u.s. senate but i was expected if i was a betting man i was looking at the senate being turned over to the republican party when i get there in 16 i complete the majority then you blocked everything from that point on that in the liberal president might want to do you may even get a few things past that should

limited government, lower taxes, my model for america is hong kong. the best economy in the world, a 3.5% unemployment. 15 percent flat tax for everyone. a deduction for mortgage interest so you get the mortgage interest in the 50% deduction for charities and zero capital gains. this country would go from a disaster under obamacare to the greatest economic expansion in world history and america would be back again that is why i will fight for and tell the bad guy. >> host: we have been talking with paul skousen his newest book "the ultimate obama survival guide" how to survive, thrive, and prosper during obamageddon" here is the cover. published by gregory. you're watching booktv on c-span2.

>> when you say you intend to take on the entire history of new york city how can you get a handle on something of this magnitude? there is not one particular but a variety of them that run through this manuscript is the very tip of from the ice age. but things to run through it that the largest highest level be interested to track the changing position on the planet.

>> guest: and charlie parker lewis's the musicians of what is often called what is used to describe the person but tony parker not only was not only a representation of his instrument but embodied what the caller really is to play and to hear as much as his early life was learning how to hear because actually to

hear the entire contest he was supervising and add the digital see to what was going on around him so he became one of the biggest exponents of that ability. it is not magic but people don't usually no that is what they do. >> host: is all jazz improvisers? >> guest: no. but the most peculiar is. there are some people through through composed pieces of the players are actually performing a written composition. that is not needed is a used

if they don't make anything up they just colored with different nuances so it is like that of an actor. if it is to be or not to be but when you say it makes an artistic. if you say it is so if they are like an actor to in reaction to other actors makes up his own part to what other people are saying to him so that jazz itself

fell first movement by louis armstrong that cuban beings can actually respond that quickly to each other and create order. chaos is not a problem. it just sounds like a bunch of noise. [laughter] but when you get the base line or the drum part or the horn part that is what is remarkable that people have to learn how to do that and charlie parker had to learn how to do it like anybody else. >> host: where was he from? >> guest: 19231955. >> host: 35 years? >> guest: he died at 34. six months before his birthday.

but he grew up in the kansas city that was actually that was the wild west he grew up in a totally corrupt town where the mayor was no good as that is what people think then the mayor of kansas city was there and was a very successful mayor. and the mafia was there and one of the guys said in kansas city costs -- people did not have locks on their doors because they stayed open all the time because everyone did you could get

it if you wanted liquor you could get it would every wanted legal or illegal was always available. so charlie parker grew up in that world. part of what he learned is what ever happens in life there is always an opposite version so as a kid he had so they things come to him so fast that he learned to people live one way during the day and another my after dark. one of his jobs which they would put on sex shows upstairs on saturday night. said he is sitting on the bandstand saying these women

and dance around and sit on tables and moved monday said the standing committee is gone. women would have sex as other women are others and he was playing well this was going on he may have been it is that when he entered but not definitely when he left so it is kind of startling to realize in our era people lived even more extreme than modern american people because there was no place necessarily a week ago to see the sex show.

that no way of 1935 we could have done that. and with all that stuff they created beautiful music in the middle of all of that that is the victory of jazz that there is still something if human beings respond and have nothing to do with a context because one of charlie parker's big influences who used to work outside the club they would tell each other i like that saxophone that he plays into

the that is like we talk about people who live disreputable lives but there is something the beautiful that they can hear they have lived under garbage most of the time that in some way there is something that allow them to still respond to something beautiful. >> host: house segregated was kansas city at the time that charlie parker up? >> it was barely integrated -- segregated. it was not an issue after dark because the musicians will tell you you can actually live in the

integrated world when it was early in the morning after hours. that was true in a lot of places. in fact, the local government where very resistant because jazz actually encourage people to deal with each other it is just individuals. or you are jewish and you don't know him. it was all secondary stuff in the jazz world. if you could play, you could play. if you cannot play it did not make it any easier for you if you could then it was

not your liability. >> host: stanley crouch and his new book kansas city life the rise in times of charlie parker. also author of the all-american and skin game. what you write about at "the daily news"? >> american life as i understand that. this country is constantly remarkable of cuban occasions because a matter how bad things get there is always something good that happens it will gain ground over time. but if he studied women's liberation and anti-semitism of these things may have

been strong at a certain time but now continues to grow and did your overwhelmed now the problem is you're never completely overwhelmed but even the segregationist today that is how much ground they lost that is one of the things i most fascinated about how americans continually find a way to judge each other on a human basis. that doesn't mean you'll like anybody or will not but it means you are better off to deal with the cuban been -- a human being the and to pretend it is a variation of a stereotype.

i was arguing with my daughter she said you're not giving me the opportunity and i said look. i am not mistaken you for a mammal only. because we feel different now and if you do that you are different is the police feel the same way because they have always known what the human is and that is what we learn everything you and i are excited by long before we were bored and

when we encounter it we feel if we haven't spoken for previously i think that is the major hope of the country the country remains a symbol to everybody of the world. >> host: why did charlie parker died at 34? >> guest: he lived a life in which he became a drug addict at about 17. but he had such incredible will he could master the saxophone and from there he could find his own way and

it was so powerful he influenced a lot of other people. >> host: we have been talking with stanley crouch from the york daily news and author of this book, a kansas city lightning. booktv on it c-span2.
