dr. paulne that's talking sense. >> he's talked far long time about the problem with the federal reserve. he doesn't think that there should be a federal income tax. if he were elected president, would he push to eliminate the federal income tax? >> absolutely. it couldn't be done overnight. you've got to realize that 52% of our government revenue comes from sources other than to the income tax. we could spend the same amount of money that we spent in 2003 and have no federal income tax. it could be done. we'd have to work on our spending. cut spending. we could do it. >> given his libertarian position, i know that he believes that the federal government should stay out of the whole issue of same-sex marriage. but that it should be left up to the states. does any government have a role in deciding who should be able to marry whom? >> sure. and the most important thing dr. paul thinks is that government should not be forcing one view of marriage on the people. that's why he's supported the defe

huge let's give paul the greatest birthday ever let's make history done let's do it and then they dr paul so in your honor sir the next two comments come in your defense they ask fell off writes i'm glad stewart brought attention to paul being a bore but he was jumping on the bandwagon he saw his target audience causing a large voice of post-treatment so he made a statement to get attention and viewers he did the same thing with the nine eleven responders and people call him their champion now funny because he hasn't said anything else to support them since like a year ago jon stewart referenced by the way and if you recall what reason magazine senior editor katherine mengele ward said about ron paul as we shared on the show earlier this week. i don't think it's unfair at all to just simply say the guy's not going to try that he didn't have a plan for being president he's great when he talks about principle he's terrible when he talks about politics and what he would actually do if he made it into the oval office that's good he knows he's never going to get there then you would know why s

and dr paul have all three called the gold standard. representative bachmann has come right to be edge she's made all of the argument she just has and said that for a better word ok but i you know i have reasons to believe that she's very sympathetic to the gold standard why does seem to be especially you could say with more of the tea party crowd to you it's becoming more of a popular sentiment but i still don't think that if any of them were to get into office right if one of these people were to get elected aside from probably congressman ron paul and you're right governor former governor gary johnson the maybe we would see any action on that you know actually come into play but we'll see it does seem like finally there is another debate surrounding this issue and you know the ick nomic policies of today something is definitely going wrong there if you look at what situation what they want more than anything is jobs is to create jobs president reagan through race through a stable money policy president clinton through a stable money

media or corporate politicians to look out for regular americans regardless of your approach to me dr paul he summed it up this way the way to get heard in washington and by the media is by getting off your butts and standing up for what we believe in no matter what that may be so if there's one average citizen can voice is frustration with the government and get millions of hits what do you think will happen if dallas and other ordinary people do the same thing and receive millions of hits in response do you think that will get the attention of washington in the media only a clue just be the start of something really big. all right here's our next question for you tonight earlier we spoke about the riots happening in london and then as losses like buildings homes cars shops have been looted and burned stories are looking for culprits one media outlet posted on their website prove people to help the author already find out who those who they are now that makes us want to know what you think about that should the media cooperate and work with off and track down the writers who can respond t

at the end of the day, dr. paulis principled position as a congressperson, but my experience was different. i could not go home at the end of the day rendering my veto. i had to explain it. i had to debated. i had to discuss it. and that went on all the time. and i would like to think that the perfect -- a verdict on that was that i ended up getting reelected the second time by a larger margin than the first time in a state that is majority democrats. i'd like to think that spoke to the fact that people really appreciate good stewardship of tax dollars. >> but under your vision of for example, cutting the budget 43%, you veto, veto, veto. when does the budget get passed? >> if congress does not balance, they are going to have to override, and if they override, then it becomes the choice of the american public. do we stick with a president that we've elected promising to submit a balanced budget? or do we overturn congress, and if congress overrides, i suggest to you that the end product will still come a lot closer

. >> dr. paul farmer. >> well, paul farmer is, as everyone knows, you know, partners in health and has worked so hard to develop health care in places like haiti, has a very interesting, you know, medical school kind of organization and practicing medicine on the ground in places like haiti and like rwanda. and he had, you know, the effect of the earthquake in haiti and the work that they've done and the level that they got to know haiti, he just said i want to write about it. i want to write about what has happened, what is happening. is the response adequate? is the response from world leaders what it should be? is the aid being used in the best way it could be? he also in his book uses this as an opportunity to get haitian voices involved in this issue. he, um, he talks about how -- he gets different people involved in haiti that he has known often for many years to write about this, too, so paul is not only talking about the experience in haiti, but he has also been able to give voice to people

not only is dr. paul the only grown up, but the only candidate mature enough to tell us the truth.ening to him, i'm reminded that there good leader who is want us to be free and living in peace. refreshing to hear an honest heart felt candidate who speaks passionately and truthfully about the issues that matter to us all. tommy writes from north carolina on facebook, ron paul is not the only adult. just the only honest one. tony no n topeka writes it may not be the only adult. the real question is why is the media not covering congressman paul. jon stewart did an amazing piece. sometimes i wonder what side the media is on. through our post on the situation room room's page. wolf? >> he has a lot of passionate supporters i hear from them every day. thanks very much for the question. to our viewers, this is a special edition of the situation room. we are in iowa with the president of the united states. happening now, president obama talking on one with me about jobs, the desperate need to create them for millions of americans and effort to hold on to his own job. also, the president

paul he wanted to attack syria. this this is the probably the most aggressive dr who ever got five deferrals from from the draft that i've ever heard of in my entire life here he was in an interview with n.b.c. not only admitting to work right seemingly to brag about this in your view we should still be using enhanced interrogation yes no regrets no regrets should we still be waterboarding terror suspects i would strongly support using their baby and if circumstances rose even though so many people have condemned it people call it torture you think it should still be a tool just. and then george w. bush in his book decision points basically said the same thing you said three people were water boarded i believe that decision saved lives so is it time to convene a war try and war crimes tribunal and try these guys for the crimes that they've confessed to after all we put people to death japanese to death for doing this to our soldiers. how do you look like you're going to take the whole why don't you try president obama continued many of the same policies that the left condemns on the war on terror he seemed older tee

so there would be quotes from martin buber and paul tillic and, again, very fancy stuff and, again, the refined dr. king was a real part of king. that was someone the authentic king. it's important to understand this refinement in some sense as a revolt his his father. daddy king was a very powerful authoritative figure. he was an old-fashioned whooper and king was embarrassed of the primitive pyrotenics. and he swore he would never walk the benches at most acrobatic type of preaching. and king looked down on all of that. and yet king had a more fervent style of preaching that became especially noticeable the older he got and as he moved on from dexter to ebenezer baptist church. actually it was even there from the beginning. and the driver of his once drove him up to birmingham from dexter church and said, after the sermon, he was amazed, dr. king, i've never heard you whoop before. at dexter you never whoop. and king said, well, at dexter the old sisters don't shout and call to me like they did here up in birmingham. and he responded to southern black congregations as he got farther away from hi

dr. stiglitz, implicit subsidies, what are the distortions and implications for our economy? >> well, they are very severe. following up what paul said, because of the implicit subsidy, the too big to fail banks can get access to capital at a lower cost. so you can see it in their cost to funding. so they get capital at lower costs than one of your manufacturing firms in ohio. and that leads them to expand. the second point is the too big to fail banks have lower costs than community banks and the too big to fail banks that often don't focus to lending at s.m.e.'s and the community banks, we get a distorted economy. so parts of the financial sector that are involved in small and medium-sized enterprise lending are relatively starve to funds relative to the big banks that are engaged in more speculative activities. the net result of this is that our economy gets distorted in several ways. we've been focusing on the size. it's also the case that the kinds of activities that they engage in is distorted so that for instance if you have a government guarantee you're more willing to undertake greater risk taking. so rather than lendin
