tropical trouble and exotic mosquito borne diseases plaguing russia in the wake of the summer's unprecedented heatwave. online with wiki leaks post a secret cia report on perceptions of the u.s. an exporter of terrorism. adrenaline rush rush to use turning to a new extreme to vittie trains for cheap thrill. and outcast lovers a growing number of young couples in india are facing their families and communities and choosing to marry outside the traditional cost system. kenny golden a retired u.s. navy pilot became so disillusioned with the republican party that he decided to do something about it now an independent candidate running in the november midterm elections he thinks americans are fed up with both parties need a fresh approach to politics.
4:33 am
november may seem like a long time from now but for congressional candidates things are already heating up as their campaigns are in full swing now we've become accustomed to a battle between the democrats versus the republicans but what about the independent candidates who seem to break the mold congressional candidate kevin golden says he's that guy and he joins me today to talk about the two party system his campaign and the issues behind it candy thanks so much for being here so on your website the very first thing we see is a line that says this time around voters of the second district your district have a unique a once in a lifetime opportunity to a whacked an independent candidate for the u.s. congress what makes you think that voters in your district or any district really are ready to elect a candidate outside of the two party system well the surveys have been taken to
4:34 am
structure it so far indicate that about forty two percent of americans are fed up with both the democratic party and the republican party i mean you look at what happened under president bush a lot of support of president bush's war talk to voters. what they did fiscally was not acceptable you know with one point now they're saying one point five trillion dollar deficit every year. americans are not happy because they don't run deficits at their homes i mean you can run up some credit card debts but what happens is you then have to take back what she a country can't take back groups or. the country takes what would be or could cripple she go backwards to a lot of bad things happen to it and it's called things like depression you were actually a long serving chairman of the republican party he. here and you dropped that
4:35 am
affiliation why is that because because of the the problems with the republican party line it always towards money i will not sacrifice principle for expediency or for money and my sense was the republican party has done that they've certainly done that and their choice of nominee i mean he's a nice guy he's a friend but they have picked him because he can sell finance and you know when you serve the party for six years and then none of the leadership will come out and say hey we want to give you at least an even break. then i say i've had enough i'm with the wrong party and my sense is that there's are great amorphous mass out there that's looking for some leadership that will not look at things through red lens of the democratic party that will not look at things through a blue lens but will look at lens a clear lens that says look here's
4:36 am
a problem of the second district how do you solve that problem and what effect does it have on the state of virginia what effect does it have nationally and people are finding that pretty refreshing most folks would agree that there should be a strong healthy third party movement if any change is to take place in terms of how business is done both on wall street and in washington d.c. but you yourself have said that you give up so much running as an independent can you elaborate a little bit more on that what have you given up it is difficult because you do not have that party structure for example look at the two candidates you've got just the base core of what they have you are there is a democratic party in virginia beach there's a republican party in virginia beach both of them are fairly healthy depending on who you talk to but those are organizations that are in place. add to that couple that with the r. and c. in the d.n.c. the national. parties come up with that they're political folks that are in office
4:37 am
they all make a difference for example just in the republican party alone there are three hundred members of the republican party city committee here. you know i don't have utilization of those folks anymore because i'm an independent now you feel that the federal government has gotten too large that it's too intrusive on states' rights and one of the main issues behind your campaign is to quote unquote protect the constitution you seem to to link those two things how they intertwine where the tenth amendment is to me is so critical because if you look at the at the fight that's going on right now that's why i got the phone call from the attorney general last night ken cuccinelli. his fight against health care it's an intrusion into our lives they can walk into your house or send you a letter and say i'm sorry but you didn't decide to join so we're finding you two hundred fifty dollars i had one of my young guys that's a that's
4:38 am
a staunch democrat that helps us do stuff around the house and you know i don't like that you know if i choose to get health care i want to get healthy i'd like to see it available but i don't want the government telling me i have to join you also call for an audit of the federal reserve but under new laws that have been passed the fed is actually getting even more power that's why i would have voted for that as several reasons why i would have voted for that it gives the feds more power it actually creates that consumer protection commission or whatever it's called i forgot the actual name of it and it doesn't kill the one thing that i thought was important it is too big to fail you know sometimes you deserve to fail and go away you know people don't realize that when a company dissolves other people by portions of that company so it doesn't just go away there are pieces. that are picked up you know we lose jobs in certain cases but other pieces of are picked up so too big to fail to go away the last thing we
4:39 am
need is another agency most politicians and candidates would agree that something has to be donna about the massive budget deficit but everyone seems to have a different opinion a different formula on how to fix the economy now you yourself propose something called a budget reform act which would mandate two percent annual budget cuts on each department except for defense and homeland security but given the fact that heads of billions of dollars go to these two institutions how do you really see this first of all the best deal that we have in this country is national defense why because it keeps us free if you do a time clock of how much we work during the year to provide the different things that we have to revive you know how many days we work for national defense six days is there waste a national fetch yes and what i propose is an audit in the department of defense
4:40 am
what i have said is i want to audit i want to take somebody like the packard foundation of the packard commission and do an audit of defense and we need to make some cuts joint forces command itself was bloated isn't that essentially what gates did i have said let's take a look at joint forces command as part of all of the department of defense and decide where we can make cuts what i have said and what's probably going to happen and what should happen is those unique things that are unique to joint forces command should be preserved we just willy nilly said let's kill join forces come out well wait a minute excuse me but. i want to do reductions in all of the commands why not particularly start at the biggest bloaters bureaucracy in the world the office of secretary of defense and make some cuts there because what's happened is you know that you've heard the expression tooth the tail the animal that's that's duty
4:41 am
to tail teeth over here the fighting part and the huge tail we've got a big tail when it comes to foreign policy you've said that you would work with congressional leaders to win the wars in iraq and afghanistan what does that even mean well the war as far as i'm concerned you know iraq has already won yesterday the last stryker battalion left even with all the violence we've seen lately the violence is nowhere near the levels that it used to be there are still going to be violence they'll always be evolves from member they live right next door to the most insidious country in the world your anus their push and stuff and there are they will always do that because they don't like the iraq they never have been never will so the other thing that they don't like even worse is a stable islamic democracy right next door on their doorstep i think the neatest things about iraq itself is the level of education in that country. they are
4:42 am
a very highly educated country and they will be successful we have paid a price we are paid a terrible price over forty five hundred of our young men and women have died in the iraqi conflict but. we needed to do once we decided to go in there. then you need to you need to win that and we have won that given the fact that over forty percent of this economy is based on deo d. spending your opponents obviously realize this so what makes you truly different here experience is the difference when i talk about joint forces command i actually know what i'm talking about you know. they're republican he talks about it in little sound bites of what he's been told ok and what he's read in the region in a pilot when talks about it he gets his soundbites from the democratic party and from what he's been told i've actually lived joint forces command i understand what
4:43 am
joint forces command as i've been on the carrier for twenty years i know the particular things that make a difference to an aircraft carrier neither one of these guys do that's a different experience is the huge difference thank you so much. disarming saddam hussein. charge of iraqi citizens. this event brings further assurance that the torture chambers and the secret police are gone forever. again over our embassy in kabul. terrorists to once occupied afghanistan. now
4:44 am
occupy sales at guantanamo bay. it is appropriate to the. accordance as but just became if he did even. if a slap stomach slap if you can. so that it shocks them especially if it gets slow but you don't actually break any bones. interrogation techniques that we use in jail to phone. but the senior leadership. we have nothing to. believe transfer.
