mr. paul: thank you, thank you. are there any liberty lovers in the house? [applause] mr. paul: thank you, thank you. welcome to the home stretch. here we come, iowa. i want to tell you why america needs to hear your voice. we live in a world that is increasingly becoming a more from tradition -- becoming unmoored from tradition, and our way of life. full garrity is accepted as the vulgarity is accepted as the norm. a stranger can no longer wonder awe is as good in on as dead. to think that there is something in our minds that we cannot religiousness. in order to embrace the mystery, we must be free. without liberty, our senses are dole and dumbed down -- are dull and dumbed down by regulation. of question we face is not the moment but of such a magnitude that we choose today, whether liberty can survive in a democracy unrestrained by a constitution. choosesvilization that to transfer the fruits of labor from one group to another, can such a civilization long endure? what we eventually run out

mr. paul: i think if you are concerned about the safety and well-being of israel, we should want a more stable region over there. so i think when we toppled saddam hussein in the iraq war, that actually made iran more of a threat and emboldened iran. iraq is now aligned with iran and they're close allies and close allies with russia. so i think if you think that israel's our friend, and you want to have that good relationship and you want israel to be safe, i think the first thing you want is stability in that region. i think if we topple assad, i think things get worse as well. and so i think if we are looking for stability and looking to allow some day those people there to choose something, a better way of life, and a better way of government, the best way is not intervening in their civil wars and not trying to pick and choose their leaders, but to defending american interests and to try to prevent anybody from falling into the hands of isis. the main thing we have to do is to not fund isi

mr. paul: a great question. in the first thing i would say is that anybody who gets money from government in the form of a contract should be limited in what they can do to lobby to get more of our money. this is going on nonstop. i think there is a possibility for campaign finance reform as long as we understand what the compromise has to be. if we say it is only big business doing this, you will never get any legislation. if we admit it is big business and big unions, and you will to control both, i think we could pass it. [applause] the supreme court has ruled that if i am a pro pro-second amendment group and want to spend money, that is each and -- that is free speech and you cannot limit it. the way i would say we get around that, in order to have limitations on people purchasing and influencing government, i would say, if a contractor comes and i'm getting a billion-dollar contract to build tanks or whatever, we need tanks. we have got to have armament. $1 billion. the person building the tanks would have

mrs. paul berry in washington, d.c.. >> as i have been watching the campaign it's a must more interest in to look at the republicans than the democratic side. that may have something to do with why there is more interest in these candidates and their books.

mr. paul: we got to go around several times on issues and so i think it was a big improvement. from the debate stage at drake university, donald trump still managed to garner a lot of attention. the billionaire front runner dominated google searches last night. and even had the most mentions on twitter. mr. trump: is it for me personally a good thing, a bad thing will i get more votes, , will i get less votes nobody knows, who the hell knows. marlie trump's camp says his : last-minute rally for veterans brought in $6 million. marlie hall, cbs news, des moines, iowa. eric: in the final hours, a spokesman for fox says trump offered to appear at the debate but only if the network contributed $5 million to his charities, which they refused. of the money raised for vets $1 million came from trump himself. elizabeth: people waited outside for hours to get into the trump event and we talked with some people after who had mixed reactions. >> i thought it was very honoring to not only our vets but to americans. >> i thought it was ridiculous. substance i don't know why , people like him

and so while i hear mr. paulrned that he wants to put all of this off on one candidate while not taking and shouldering his own sort of responsibility for the ways in which the structural barriers to participation for all people in this process is part of this. >> there's another thing i want to have you respond to. it happened this morning on our air when our colleague tamron hall spoke with sanders' supporter nina turner about the black vote. here's part of that conversation. >> tamron, i'm having a moment here. nobody owns the black vote. the black vote should be earned. it is curious to me that our folks are the only voting bloc where people assume which direction we're going to go in. my message to the black community this morning and to all communities is that no one should allow themselves to be taken for granted. unfortunately, lots of times the democratic party itself as a whole has taken the african-american community for granted. >> do the establishment wings of the party, melissa, do they make a mista

mr. paul today actually had a vote on his bill to audit the fed. it was procedural one and he didn't make the 60 votes necessary. so his efforts to do that died today. ted cruz had been a supporter. he is out campaigning. today he and donald trump are renewing their bitter as gets each day more intense, donald trump debating whether ted cruz was american citizen. he was born in canada and miss mother is u.s. sit sown so that makes him a u.s. citizen. one who represented mccain when his citizenship was questioned, donald trump is quotes him. ted cruz is arguing that up interest -- trump is doing to help democrats, specifically hillary clinton. >> hard to believe donald relying on liberal, left-wing activist harvard law professor who is huge hillary supporter. makes you think, why are hillary's strongest supporters backing donald trump? reporter: very, very tough stuff. over the weekend trump specifically mentioned laurence tribe again and says ted cruz is very glib talking about being natural born citizen the problem, you're not, unquote. very, very

we're joined of the direct to presidentialr library and museum, paul sparrow. mr. sparrow: it was an opportunity for him to tell about why america should care about the war that was raging in europe and the weather was racing and -- raging in asia. the four freedoms, freedom of ofedom of expression, religion, and freedom from fear, these are the things that defined the difference between democracy and dictatorships. the american public was still fairly isolationist. they do not want to get involved in the european war. they were angry they had not been repaid for the loans from world war i. was trying to help them understand it was a global war, a global village and things that happened was directly affecting them and would impact their ability to enjoy the freedoms democracy.erican >> it is called the four freedoms speech and is related the unionte of speech. what was the reaction of congress and the american public? sparrow: it was a delayed reaction. there was some critics who planned the speech. it was the last 2.5 minutes of a speech that ran over 35 minutes l

[laughter] >> mr. paul, we understand you are from wisconsin. they don't even wear seersucker suits and wisconsin. journey.bout your what was your biggest surprise that you did not anticipate? tell me. number one, wembe hold different values and principles. there is a lot to learn. what happens is -- policymakers, they don't do the human side, they do the ivory tower site. the old thinking in the war on poverty is kick it upstairs, and you can be more efficient in deploying resources, fixing problems. what you end up doing is you peopleties which bind together. it is connecting people together in the communities who are helping each other which really matters. you cannot get that with some program building over here. that is what i have learned. we cannot be at odds with people in this war on poverty where civil society does this, and government does that. we have to respect each other. from just a human standpoint, we have to redeem the idea that redemption is cool, it is the success story, and what we want to see more and more of. that, to me,

. >> paul, do you see this as a drawn out battle, as well? >> i do. mr. -- i think a lot of advantages. the scale the way the cameras are attracted to him. one great event he doesn't control is a crowded field. these other candidates, ross said and is right. if the other establishment candidates, many of them, most of them had sense would quit and let that person take on mr. trump but the problem is they don't have sense. they have more ambition than sense. [ laughter ] >> seriously. >> paul. >> i could beat him but i need to get christie out of the way. it's not going to happen. it will be a crowded establishment lane and christian evangelical lane and i think he's probably trump's greatest threat is ted cruz, not the establishment. as long as it's a multi candidate field, that 35% or 40% ceiling trump has is plenty enough to win. >> that multi candidate field will, i mean, it will dwindle down quickly after south carolina and new hampshire and south carolina, don't you think? >> exactly. jeff, one, i agree with both jeffrey and paul this is going to be

excuseor bush: paul -- me, mr. speaker -- i have not seen him since he became speaker.ongratulations. [applause] bush: we share a common bond. inspired by jack kemp in the political realm and meeting bob whitsitt, not as governor, but as a person seeking knowledge and truth in the 1990's, i became sensitized to the fact that poverty is a lot more complex than what the smart people in washington describe iit as. it is not just economic. how you deal with it is important. compassion is not measured by how much money you spend through washington through a big and mistreated bureaucracy and send it back down to other toeaucrats filling out forms eventually get back into the community. compassion is, in the greek sense, acting on your sense of consciousness. the only way we can become a more just society is from the bottom up, where people act on their sense of consciousness together. in also the ways i've learned that. one of the ways was in 19 a seven, i set up one of the first charter schools in the state of florida. the law was passed in 1996. i helped lobby for that. wi

mr. paul: for several years i have been fighting a law that allows americans to be imprisoned without a jury trial. it was signed by president obama a few years ago. my fear is that one day i president might use indefinite ,etention the same way fdr did to send japanese-americans to internment camps, or detain african-americans like they did in the old south. power corrupts. as we have seen with an out-of-control irs, using its power to harass and intimidate conservatives for their political beliefs. the irs presumes you are guilty until proven innocent. imagine being detained without a trial because your own government deems you suspect, but does not after. desperate -- does not have to prove it. when i think about indefinite detention i am rim -- reminded of a scene from "to kill a luckily, scout comes to the rescue, as she always does. she recognizes the leader of the mob as a father of a boy in her class. she says, i go to school with your son. he is in my grade, and he has done well, i be

i would love to have another conversation with mr. paul down across the table from me and let's have a joint conversation. i was a little disturbed about the conversation that was work, work, work, work, work. what about those who work constantly, every day? sometimes, two, three jobs. yet can still not find themselves to pull themselves out of poverty. let's talk about the single parent, let's talk about the working people. it's the working -- the people who work the hardest always seems like sometimes we're the ones that are talked about as if we're the people over there. when you start realizing that we're not the people over there, that we need to be the people over here and so we can talk together and stop acting like kids in the sandbox throwing sand back and forth and realize that we're people, then we can really get a solid answer to exactly what they are trying to do. >> there was this moment when mr. ryan was considering the offer to become the speaker. he said this, to remind ourselves. i'm sorry. he said that he really didn't w

i am also sure that the two men made the earlier attempt to poison mr alexander litvinenko, also using paul ownium -- pull ownium 210 at a meeting on 16 october 2006. i am sure that mr andrei lugovoy and mr dmitri kovtun knew that they were using a deadly poison, and that they intended to kill mr alexander litvinenko >>> well, we'll go to rory challands, our correspondent in the moscow in a little while. let's get the latest from neave barker who is in london. this is an incident that occurred 10 years ago what, do we know now that we didn't know before. >> the inquiry led us to the doors where it didn't before. in respect to that. andrei lugovoy and dmitri kovtun, the two former agents should be seen as implicated and responsible for the poisoning with plutonium 210. but the biggest surprise finding is the believe that vladimir putin, the russian president himself, along with nikolai patrushev, the head of the security service, the f.s.b. may be possible for sanctioning the report. the report goes into details about the relationship between alexander litvinenko and vladimir putin. there's

set, and see the are republican fire -- are republican party has paul ryan as speaker was so excited. ms. brzezinski: he still looks 23. mr. scarborough: the thing about paul, and the thing about jack kemp is these are the people, along with so many others who have been appeared today, who make me a republican. they do not believe that we are speaking to 47% or 53%. ronald reagan believed, and paul ryan believed, and jack kemp believed that what we believe is not just relevant to 47% of americans, it is relevant to 100% of americans, and is not just as relevant to a inyear-old latino working south-central l.a. as a 65-year-old hedge fund manager in greenwich, connecticut, it is more relevant. 100% ofbelieve lives americans. that is why i'm so honored to be here with you guys today and why here toso honored to be listen to the side of the republican party that can take back the white house, and will take back the white house.

mr. paul is being relegated to the undercard with ms. fiorina.e told cnn he would not accept the invitation to participate. he does not view himself as a second-tier candidate. jarrod up next in lyndhurst, virginia. independent line. concernedm really with the things that are happening in this country. i worked for a defense contractor in the 1990's. i saw a decline in the services being provided to this country. contractors were not even based in america. hopefully our country is going admit how bad things really are so we can try to fix them. it is sad, but true that we will have to. host: gregory from state college, pennsylvania. republican line. caller: thank you. i would like to commend the president for striking a or what we cante expect to hear tonight. ,specially after last year which was a watershed year. reconstruction dominated by zeal. morenot think of anything symbolic of a wall than what the republican congress is presenting after all this time. i can see the emergence of a new america, which is more inclusive. colombia, puerto rico
