use our held a rally. it is called we are the future rally. his remarks are about one hour. >> thank you. thank you. [applause] it does zoelllick we only brought half the family. if we had brought the whole family would he be here for another hour. i want to thank you for supporting my dad and supporting

us in not letting our founding principles died. anybody here in favor of abolishing the tsa? you nkow, when i say that in washington, they say what are you complaining about? you can go to the airport. if you do not have health insurance, you can get a free breast exam. you can get a free mammogram, and if you mentioned the ron paul revolution, you can get a free colonoscopies. -- colonoscopy. the only problem is, some of us would prefer that our physician not be selected by advertising that is on the pizza hut box.

i have the director of tsa come before my khomeni and he says -- my committee and he said we have to pat down these children and ice showed him a picture -- i showed him a picture of an 6- year-old from bowling green kentucky and the agent had their hands down her pants. he followed up with a letter that said the girl in kandahar set off a bomb, and 8-year-old girl. i said this girl is from bowling green, ky. she is not from kandahar. there is a professor at harvard and he wrote recently that next time tsa asks you to put your hands above your head, no, huh,

a little bit higher and when you stand there for seven seconds, the next time you do this, you ask yourself, is this the pose of a free man? we have had the beginnings of some great victories. we have yet to have the great victories. we did have a great victory in the house when we passed audit the fed. [cheers and applause] this is a credit to a certain congressman who got every republican to vote for it and 100 democrats to vote for it. a lot of news reports are saying it is dead now and it is going nowhere. i can tell you that is not true.

we have 29 co-sponsors in the senate. i have sat down personally with harry reid twice and he assures me he has been auditi the fed for over 20 years. did the left. we found the youtube videos. from 1987 on, he has been for auditing the fed. he is not sure he is still for it. this is something we can do. when i go back we will try to get a vote. harry reid is the only one who can allow me to have the vote. he has all the power. if everyone in this room condenses others to e-mail harry reid and say we want [no audio] we think you can still get it. that is for you to do.

one of the great things is people have heard you. we're talking about audit the pentagon. because of hurricane isaac i'm not sure the message will get there but one of the messages that i will give to them is that republicans need to acknowledge

that not every dollar is well spent or sacred in the military. we have to look for ways in every department of government. they think it is because he is cool. i am his kid. i can tell you it is not because

he is cool. the idea of liberty is cool. it does not say anywhere in their -- what came out of these campaigns was a candidate who said something no one had heard. who said that we can have and should have limited constitutional government. as part of that message, we should be reluctant to go to war. we should not have a rash foreign-policy. we should be careful. another moment they called the ron paul moment was when he talked about lillback.

i do not think anyone ever would have. [applause] the one thing that people still fail to grasp, so many fail to grasp as they say, that is where your enemies are saying. if you want to know why your enemies attack you, it does not justify why they attack you. it does not justify any attacks but if you want understand what is going on, you would have to know why they say they attack you. -- attacked you. [applause] know there arei hundreds of moments, the final moment that was one of my favorite, this was from 2008 when they talked about the war in iraq and he said, you know what? we just marched in and we can just marched out. -- march out.

[cheers and applause] i guilty of -- i give to you the guy who is my hero, the guy who is the greatest representative of the liberty movement in our time. my father, ron paul. [cheers and applause] ♪

>> thank y very much. thank you. thank you, everybody. thank you. thank you very much. thank you. thank you, thank you. [cheers and applause]

thank you. so nice. ok. that is very nice, very nice. thank you very much. is there anything left for me to say? this is wonderful. it's wonderful to be among friends, with my family and for a good reason. to promote the cause of liberty in the revolutionary spirit. thank you very much for being here.

i have to tell you i was pretty worried. i saw a couple of bad articles. it was not the hurricane i was worried about. i saw the revolution is over. there is going to be no revolution. major paper in washington, d.c., they said the revolutionary -- the revolution will not be happening. don't they only wish? people say today is an important day. they say that the convention is very important and it is.

this election is important. let me tell you there is something even more important. that is the cause that we're leading and the cause of liberty. there has been talk about whether or not i would get to speak at the convention. and i have written off. today was excited. i got a call from the rnc. and they said they changed their mind. everybody -- there will give me an hour, i can say whatever i want. tomorrow nigh.

-- tomorrow night. just kidding. i want to recognize our delegates. i do not know how many. but thank you. thanks to a lot of hard work. you knew the rules better than they knew the rules. that did not stop them. they learned how to bend the rules and break the rules and now they want to rewrite the rules. but then again, maybe they have been paying attention to what is going on in washington, they have been bending and breaking the rules and rewriting them for too long. that is what we have to stop from happening. [cheers and applause]

people at the convention were worried just how much trouble we would cause. my advice, just stopping something for the sake of stopping something does not achieve anything. what they found out is they have overstepped the bounds. there is a big fight going on and we are involved in it. everybody else, a bunch of them are joining us and saying you have gone to fall. -- too far. there were right about overstepping or browns. in has been great. the experience i have had these last five years and it has been an important time. not only for me personally but for the attention we're getting.

i have received a lot of confidence. it takes you and a lot of other people and a lot of things going on for decades and it is coming about. it is coming about. not so much not only because i believe we are right on the issues, but what is coming out right now is proof positive that their philosophy is failing and they need something different. i have often quoted victor hugo

-- samuel adams. bring about -- bringing about change. the light the fires of liberty in the minds of men. that is important but ultimately, numbers do count. even numbers do cap when they do not count all the boats as well because we do have the numbers. but those who promote ideas ultimately have to have an influence on the prevailing attitudes of the people. that is what is happening today. the people now are waking up and they're realizing the failure of what we have and the reason these ideas are coming about. in this prairie we had close to

2 million votes. that does not swing an election. it is no big deal. guess what? for every vote that we got in the primary, let me tell you just for my personal experience of traveling around the country and meeting people in airports and wherever. the support out there is much greater and they do not feel comfortable coming to a republican primary so the support there i would say is two or three times as much as the number of votes we got in the primary. [applause] we have talked a lot about the excitement that the young people bring. the excitement we have had on the campuses. i asked somebody on the stand after the last campaign event on

a college campus, how many campuses did i go to? they told me i was going to go to this number during the campaign, i would have said there is no way you can do that. we went to 33 college campuses. talked to close to 100 tricky thousand young people, enthusiastic. were they the conservative college campuses or were they the liberal college campuses? there were all the college campuses. they welcomed us. what do not think if there is a party that said we have an open tent, where one to appeal to the young people. do you think it would be begging

and pleading they come into the big tent? we will get into the tent, believe me. we will become the tent eventually. [cheers and applause] once they know we're the future, they will know about that. the young people certainly have the enthusiasm. the enthusiasm that energizes the campaign. it energizes not only themselves and the college campuses. there has been so many times that the young people not only those of voting age but

sometimes 13 and 14 and 15, they bring their parents to the office and have them converted into believing and understanding about what liberty is all about. young people energized a lot of other people and give the energy to their remnant who believe -- who are with this already. this to me is exciting with the energy we have. it seems to me they would be begging and pleading for us to come into the party. [cheers and applause] most people in this room probably have read that book called "1984." it was required reading in high school for so many years. i have figured it out. i can explain to you where the problem is. 1984 has been read by a lot, i

assume people read it as a dire warning as what could happen to a society if you're not careful. a bunch of people read the book and thought it was a business plan and they ran for congress. many claim they read it. they claim that they understand it. yet they do the very things that we have been fighting against him and trying to stop. during the campaign i got a lot of advice, can you believe that? sometimes from strangers, sometimes from our enemies. sometimes for my family as well. the advice came from the very well meaning, individuals who were in the category of maybe mainstream republicans. it would come up and say we really like you. we like what you're doing. we like what you're saying. if you would only do one thing,

if you would change one thing, it would have a lot more success. the need to change or foreign policy and of course if i did not have the policy i do have, i do not believe we would be here tonight. [cheers and applause] time this is something they do not understand. those who don't understand it fear it. because of the powerful special interests behind a foreign policy of intervention in the military industrial complex. it is complex but they strongly resent this. it was mentioned already today, i have mentioned it before but

it is the best test of my support coming from more so than anybody else, from the military for our foreign policy. [cheers and applause] the subject of monetary policy comes of frequently in washington on our committee that off and on over quite a few years and the question has always been, what will we do? it wants to change it to steal but they cannot afford the steel. if you have a steel penney, -- penny. afford a zinc penny. but when you factor in the cost

of labor it costs more. there was a headline that said, "can we save the penny?" bigger question we will be forced to face is can we save the dollar? a bill passed not too long ago. as you can guess, that is the dodd-frank bill, did you ever hear of that monster? they gave more power to the federal reserve and created a board of consumer financial protection bureau, protect all the consumers. they were given the task here a couple months ago and it was designed to make things more efficient. that is why -- the story will tell you why efficiency is not

the answer to our problems. we do not want more efficient government. we want to get the government out of the business that they're not supposed to be doing. this new consumer financial protection board was given the task of simplifying the applications for a mortgage loan. it is complex and now they are more complex because they had a bubble and they do not know where it came from. it was because they did not fill out in the forms. what we need to do is simplify these forms. they went to work and they came up with a solution. they provided the solution. it was 1000 pages long on how to reduce two forms to one form. all these new regulations placed on everyone who applies for a bill and they think that is -- that will be the solution.

that is not the solution. the solution is, get the government out of our lives and off our back and out of our wallet. [cheers and applause] where serious and we are serious and when we have the clout, what we do is we do not tinker around with 1000 pages to simplify things. we repeal dodd-frank is what we do. another -- there was another time when they passed sarbanes oxley. it cost with the regulation. that is when the conservatives were in charge. when we get rid of dodd-frank,

we get rid of sarbanes oxley as well. i am convinced that we're living at a time when an era is ending. this is significant. it can be depressed at times when you look at will with -- what happened in washington. get close -- you come close to victories. washington is responding to slowly. the end of an error provides an opportunity and i think recently about what error are we talking about? i would say first of in the last 100 years, what about 1913? that was the beginning of an era. that was the beginning of a time when they said, with the incom
