now tonight we're going to speak to republican presidential candidate buddy roemer he's a former governor of louisiana he's been excluded from every debate thus far and he's refusing to accept the big checks from political action committees so i wonder what our elections will be like if all candidates did that also the media is right now going crazy over the tit for tat between joining us on down the guardian as to how the unredacted version of state department cables made it to the internet let's look at what they're missing in the midst of all this drama we're going to speak to having a stolen about the latest state department cable that reveals evidence of a gruesome murder of iraqi civilians which the military tried to cover up or you have all that and more peter knight including a dose of happy hour but first let's take a look at what the mainstream media has decided to. ari so yesterday president obama announced that he would be presenting his new jobs plan before a joint session of congress on september seventh and that is when everything a rocket is the september seventh just happ

that was buddy roemer a former governor of louisiana now running as a g.o.p. presidential candidate also states in thirty minutes we will have buddy roemer full . interview including his thoughts on the wars in iraq afghanistan and iraq and also more about what he would change should he be elected president. well he certainly has an interesting idea is just not always the way we see that things actually work where if you really want something well then you're going to have to pay for it perhaps that is true nowhere more than here in washington d.c. where lobbyists spend lots of money to get whatever their clients want and to give you an idea just how much money by the end of two thousand and ten just that year lobbyists had given three and a half billion dollars to members of congress and federal agencies but they got in return well we may never know the full extent of but regardless it is important to keep our eye on the practice and the process and artie's kellen ford has done just that here's her report. why should my bank or morgan stanley have fewer right

buddy roemer, tell me, you are running for president for the republican party.here is a debate that is happening..happening of republin candidates at the reagan museum and library... >> southern california. >> jon: family resort. (laughter) and you have not been invited. >> you're not going to be serious about this question. >> jon: i will absolutely be serious. sir, why will they not invite you to this debate? >> they have some rules of engagement that include a national poll that has you at 4% or higher. i've been out of politics for 16 years, i started running four weeks ago, i'm not a big-funded big-check candidate, i have a different style about me. i'm just now appearing in the polls. i was at a smooth 1% last week. (laughter). >> jon: so you're already beating rick santorum. (laughter and applause) what... the percentage that you have to be at to be in the... to qualify for the debate is what? >> in this poll it's 4%... in this debate it's 4%. >> jon: who sets the percentage? >> i'm not sure. it's deliberately vague, you know? we've tried to get in every

presidential candidate buddy roemer. so what is it with those pants on the ground we'll take a look behind their savvy expression. hey there it's tuesday september sixth five pm in washington d.c. i'm christine for you're watching our team and we're just back from that labor day they were day of course for many marks the end of summer and clearly that is the case for the financial markets where the sun just doesn't seem to be shining at all i don't get me wrong it's already been a very gloomy summer unemployment still above nine percent and on friday we got some depressing jobs numbers that said essentially that there were no new jobs created in august growth was flat that may have been assigned to the rest of the world especially in europe and asia but things are not looking good markets there yesterday and here today plunged and there was also today some big news out of switzerland economic news with the swiss national bank basically said they're not going to take it anymore they're sick of it based on a limit on how f

on right now last time we took a page from our interview with republican presidential candidate buddy roemer he explained that he has kept his campaign contributions and one hundred dollars so that no special interests and or fear with his political message so should americans be limited in how much they can donate to political campaigns it's going to produce a patrice in a sense you to find out what you have to say so when it comes to campaign financing well there's individual money public money political party money hard money soft money matching funds political action committees and t.v. advertising paid and promotions paid for by outside groups corporations and labor unions with their own agenda in fact in two thousand and eight president obama agrees and spends about seven hundred fifty million dollars many analysts are convinced he will raise close to one billion dollars for two thousand and twelve this at a time when real estate values are still down and unemployment remains stubbornly high it just looks a little odd in an economy that has been going down that political contributions

presidential candidate buddy roemer and if you're not familiar with him i could be because the mainstream media doesn't send a camera crew every time he makes a speech or releases a report it could be because his fund raising efforts are coming a little slower than others or it could be because he's one candidate one of the most powerful entities in this country i hope you never hear about or vote for buddy roemer is a four term congressman former governor of louisiana and he joins us now from our studio in new york hey there by thanks so much for coming on today i want to start out with one idea that at the core of your campaign i know your campaign motto is free to lead and you speak a lot about the major need for campaign finance reform the reforms that connect the dots for me here well i'm the only person running for president of the united states who's been both a congressman and the governor. so i've seen politics at the bottom and at the top and there's one thing that ties it together in this country in the twenty first century and that's the power of checks the power of special in

former louisiana governor buddy roemer will join us for the interview very, very soon. the political aisle is reach acrossable. >>> 20 years and five presidential elections ago, then-vice president dan quayle was running for reelection alongside president george h.w. bush. it didn't work out, the whole reelection thing, but that's not to say dan quayle campaigner won't be famous forever. >> vice president dan quayle has cast a rather strange spell on education in trenton, new jersey, on monday. the vice president gave students a spelling test. >> potato. >> the boy wrote the word correctly, but mr. quayle wasn't satisfied until he added an "e." he was wrong, of course, but claims that was the way it was spelled on the flash card he was using so he went with the potato with an "e" spelling. wonder how tomato is spelled. >> boy, oh, boy, doesn't that give you confidence? leonard scott with two "t"s is standing by. >> when it's the morning show hosts making fun of you, not david letterman and the late night guys, but the cordial morning show people making fun of you, you k

that a number of republicans were not invited to attend the debate congressman that is for carter buddy roemer and gary johnson i'm sure you've all heard about talking head neil cavuto had this hard hitting observation. so i'm calling this podium. why not just add more podiums for legit candidates who come to the game with legit solutions to our problems surely the t.v. networks i don't care how dire and poorly off they are can figure out how to shoot a slightly more crowded stage how could ground breaking ideas ever get through if we don't let the guys offering them break through how noble looking out for the forgotten public and it's unfortunately he didn't have a problem last month when his own fox so called news host a republican debate and excluded those very same candidates from part. fox so-called news your number one source for blatant hypocrisy and the very very ugly dick cheney the war criminals book tour continued this weekend a man without a pulse showed up on fox so-called news sunday morning to promote his rewrite of american history when pressed on whether or not he's worried ab

here's our next question for you we just wrapped up speaking of republican presidential candidate buddy roemer who is kept his campaign contributions out one hundred dollars that way he says no special interests can have their claws into his actions if you were president let us know what you think you think that there should be a limit to even americans should be limited in how much they can donate presidential campaigns you can respond to us on facebook twitter and here too i mean those responses just might make it on air. now a small courtroom in upstate new york case with a lot of sensitive information is being shared the two aviation companies are now engaged in a lawsuit over a breach of contract and they are rich more aviation which supplied corporate jets and crews to the u.s. government and private aviation broker sports fly air which organizes flights so the interesting part here is the details of this lawsuit being discussed in court and all of secret cia rendition flights turns out the flights by these aviation companies involved touching down in countries like afghanistan sri lanka

office of president is starting to look more and more like the auction for the highest bidder maybe buddy roemer has the right idea after all. now as always we thank you for your responses and here's our next question for you just mentioned interview on the economic and political turmoil which has rocked the european union to its core we want to know your thoughts on these you do you think of the european european union as we know it will survive in the next couple of years you can respond to us on facebook twitter and you tube as you know is your response to just like me. now over the. next week we're going to be seeing a lot of coverage leading up to the tenth anniversary of the nine eleven attacks and we'll mostly see and hear arguments that ten years on or say for sure we may be involved in a few costly wars overseas and sure our civil liberties may have been eroded but at the end of the day there hasn't been another major attack on our soil so thanks for all of it all tonight we're going to look at exactly the opposite argument we're going to ask it ten years later and even after the death

he deserves to be on the stage, as does buddy roemer, and others who have been shut out. he stole the night with his one-liner -- >> we'll have him on later. >> okay. good many. >> i think maybe, bob, that governor perry's team is assisting johnson and others beyond, because that means he has less time to mess up. >> that wouldn't be a bad idea. it's not just that he had a lack of preparation. they don't seem to be sure footed. their excuse afterwards was, well, gee, he's like ronald reagan who wasn't a great debater. first of all, that's true. if you're a republican don't compare yourself to reagan. if you're a democrat, don't compare yourself to jfk. the comparison won't stand up well. he telegraphed, and if you do that, somebody will be prepared. i thought it was amateur hour. >>> the next up, best award for best editing. this goes to willard mitt romney, because once again, last night he was forced by the other candidates to edit his history on romney-care. >> your economic adviser talked about romney-care and how that was an absolute bust and it was exactly what obam

buddy roemer is not serious. yes i am. i will have more money than john mccain or mitt romney had four years ago. watch me. i am not opposed to money and politics. if i get it i will spend on your station and on others. what i am opposed to it comes in the dark. it comes with special interest attached. it comes in a pack. we have superpacks independent of a candidate. do you believe they're independent? of course you don't. they are run by the chief of staff and a former campaign manager of the candidate. one went to a fund-raiser for the superpact. they are independent. osborn, just yacht--not yesterday. the system is corrupt. unfair trade growth is not the only symbol of a corrupt system. a tax code that you cannot read, >> budget that was imploded with earmarks, there was no supervision. the battle is against federal spending. that is the battle to be won and we need the government to be strong where we need a government to help people on the bottom to defend our shores, prevent unfair trade, protect america. i am not a

his name as buddy roemer. he said he was going to be throwing his hat in. there is a seasoned man. i want somebody season. not a chris christie. host: if you care about celebrities to support political candidates, "the washington post" is the place to turn in the reliable source section. ron paul supported by barry manilow and herman cain supported by dennis miller. south carolina. charles. caller: i am a republican did have been one long time up until this year. i am changing my mind in regards to the fact that we don't have anybody who is running who really has any experience except mitt romney, that knows anything about the government, about the operations and dealing with world problems. the thing is we as republicans seem not to realize that the republicans are holding the economy back. we are saying no to everything and not giving everything -- and giving a try and not putting anything on the table. with that being said, it is unfortunate that my position is changing to become a democrat because it seems like there are the only ones really try to do anything for the people. h

i'm thinking about voting for buddy roemer because i think he is the only candidate who understands the serious problems we're facing in this country. host: we will leave it there. "pittsburgh post-gazette." the woman were granted the right to vote -- women were granted the right to vote. host: back to the phones. florida, william. caller: good morning. there is some misinformation. on the issue of a palestinian tate -- in the middle east, the romans were first called israel palestine. if u.s. them to point to a would pian, there wo pointyey oint to a jew. the jews were scattered throughout the world. eventually the british took over. now it is palestine. if you 18 two-state solution -- if you want a two-state solution, look at jordan. host: we believe that there. coming up, a discussion on your money. after the break, helping startup companies with eric ries, the author of "the lean startup: how today's entrepreneurs use continuous innovation to create radically successful businesses ." he will be here to talk to us about the government's role in helping startup companies. get your upd

buddy roemer, of all of them, he needs to be heard by the american public. he is the only one that makes sense. most of the candidates up there are millionaires. they will tell us we will try to make lemonade. mitt romney is a millionaire. he cannot understand the people at the bottom end. he will increase the rich and put taxes on corporations -- they need to do away with bafta and allow jobs to come back to america. if so, we could grow jobs here. we need to protect america. host: thanks for your call. linda on twitter rig -- the next call is from union, missouri. good morning to gregg, republican. you are on the air. caller: hi, susan. the thing that we have going now, there are not going to be jobs for the american people as long as obama is president. that's the way it is. businesses don't trust him for regulations. his tax policies as well. these people calling in today said about the rich and this and that. that is what america is. if you want to grow to be rich, you grow to be rich. thanks. host: banks. now to facebook. julie writes to us on facebook

we had a candidate on your channel, buddy roemer. loved what he did in front of the chinese embassy in washington. i would love to see on c-span. he is very interesting and i think he gets to the root of the problem that we negotiated poorly. we need to get those things revised and get america back on with the rest of these third- world nations. about mitt talk romney and trade. host: san diego, california, priscilla, democratic line. caller: regarding that romney, depending on which way the wind blows, he changes his economic ideas, giving tax breaks to the wealthiest americans in this country, that money is there to create jobs. for the first time in american history, you have more equal amounts of american money on the sidelines as it is in the stock market. here you have romney wanting to be the president of the united states and he is controlled by a few in this country, reducing the tax burden on the rich to generate jobs. if that was the case, we would not be in the financial situation that we are in. host: looking at the mitt

buddy roemer and other people, even ron paul, have addressed it, until everybody agrees that this ismadness, we are not going to get anywhere. host: let's hear from our guests, beginning with mr. baker. guest: i want to jump back to a point at james made about tax rates and business creation. tax rates don't seem to have help all that much. in terms of the color bang's comment, i think of -- it globalism is that -- the caller's comment, i think global is and is a mixed story to the fundamental imbalance in the economy -- if you have a large trade deficit, as we do, somewhere around $600 billion a year, 4% of gdp, you either have negative public savings, the budget deficits everyone is so unhappy about, or-private savings. the savings rates we had at the peak of the housing bubble. there is no alternative to. i am very concerned to get the trade deficit down and the way you do that is to lower the value of the dollar, make u.s. exports more competitive, domestically produced goods will be purchased instead of imports. if we got our trade of is that close to balance, that would create

buddy roemer and other people, even ron paul, have addressed it, until everybody agrees that this is madness, we are not going to get anywhere. host: let's hear from our guests, beginning with mr. baker. guest: i want to jump back to a point at james made about tax rates and business creation. tax rates don't seem to have help all that much. in terms of the color bang's comment, i think of -- it globalism is that -- the caller's comment, i think global is and is a mixed story to the fundamental imbalance in the economy -- if you have a large trade deficit, as we do, somewhere around $600 billion a year, 4% of gdp, you either have negative public savings, the budget deficits everyone is so unhappy about, or-private savings. the savings rates we had at the peak of the housing bubble. there is no alternative to. i am very concerned to get the trade deficit down and the way you do that is to lower the value of the dollar, make u.s. exports more competitive, domestically produced goods will be purchased instead of imports. if we got our trade of is that close to balance, that would create

globalism and, the idea of international gangsters and fascists is ruining our country and i think buddy roemer, some other people, even ron paul have had pieces of this that address it. but until everybody agrees that this is madness, we're not going to get anywhere. i would appreciate your comments. >> host: let's hear from our guests beginning with mr. baker. >> guest: i want to jump back quickly point james made before tax rates. the united states ranges last of employment in small businesses. tax rates don't seem to have helped that much. in terms of the caller's comment, i think globalism of course is a mixed story. we have gains and we also have big losses. my biggest concern is the trade deficit because that creates a fundamental imbalance in the economy. that is accounting identity. that is no way around it. if which have large trade deficit we do, 600 billion a year, 4% gdp you have to have negative public savings. means budget deficits or negative private savings. zero savings rate we had at the peak of the housing bubble. there is no alternative. that is logically true. so i'm very

you see the individuals appear that have signed -- mitt romney, rick santorum, buddy roemer, and christopher hill. i thank you for coming to new hampshire and signing the pledge. [applause] i forgot to tell the governor that the act was my father's when he campaigned for years ago. i know things are busy in texas. [applause] but in new hampshire, we have the biggest axe. >> thank you, and i know how to use it, sir. i want to say how great it is to be back in new hampshire. thank you. thank you, sir. i am proud to sign the thompson presidential pledge. it provides the kind of conservative reform we need in this country. it is the reduction in taxes, the spending and the size of government we are seeing grow on an almost exponential basis. it is the commitment to secure our border. it is the commitment to make american energy independent in eight years. and my solemn commitment to uphold and protect this constitution of the united states. [applause] i want to thank you. i want to thank you as the author of this pledge. on behalf of all the conservatives across this country, and for people who

i am buddy roemer, republican candidate for president of the united states. the issue of jobs now and in the future. the issue has been growing for about a dozen years or longer. but no president or candidate for the office of president has addressed the real problem, in my opinion. it is like there is a meeting about jobs and there is a big bear in the meeting room. and the bear is eating the jobs but no one in the room acknowledges the bear is even there. they tried to ignore him. to make matters worse, the bear only eats the really good jobs -- manufacturing jobs. the bear doesn't want the poor paying jobs anymore. he wants the best jobs only. everybody in the room talks about deregulation, technology, marginal tax rates, budget scrubbing, free trade, loophole closing, but these are the symptoms. the bear is the problem. get the bare out of the room and then we can deal with the symptoms. those few that remain. all my life i have built jobs. as a private citizen the last 20 years helping build and run two successful business banks, profitable with no bailo
