one candidate has always been true ron paul could spread well into the budget deal. no deals ron paul has said no repeatedly to the question of raising the debt ceiling and many others have raised the question about whether it's necessary some even asking is this all simply a scare tactic into making some significant changes to the way this government spends its money to talk more about that i spoke earlier to l. randall rae professor of economics at the university of missouri kansas city i asked him if we are in. in our close to a crisis and politicians say we are or is this all just hype here's his response. well we're in a. creative crisis but it's a political crisis it's not an economic crisis. but sovereign government does not face the solvency constraint if it does to bolt on debt it will be a political decision that's not going to be something that is forced by markets. so you think that this is perhaps just an excuse by you know the forces out there to to try to get rid of some of these new deal social security medicare medicaid. fortunately i think the democ

history and it's about time america found out about that the best kept secret about ron paul what was that that's all that sets him apart though i mean really he's just like all the other republican candidates is an enemy of the six foot candle looking guy from from middle america with you know conservative roots who just loves the constitution but doesn't really understand it right. well of course that's what they want people to think what we want to show is that this is a guy who if you've ever been frustrated with congress and felt like you know to heck with a whole bunch of these crooks he's your man because who in congress has voted against the whole congress more than ron paul he's going to against i'm all alone more than all other congressmen put together and he knows more about the constitution than all of them put together although that's faint praise obviously he will not support anything that violates the constitution which is why lobbyists don't bother coming to his office what's the point he's just going to vote his conscience regardless this is a guy whose record is just

one candidate has always been true ron paul cut spending well into the budget no good. no deals ron paul has said no repeatedly to the question of raising the debt ceiling he and many others have raised the question is this necessary so i'm even asking is this all simply a scare tactic and to making some significant changes into the way this government spends its money also talk more about that i've got l. randall ray in annandale new york he is a professor of economics at the university of missouri and kansas city. well let's talk about this i know that you argue that in fact this notion of a shock doctrine you wrote that president obama has joined forces with republicans who want to use the debt limit to remove the last vestiges of f.d.r.'s new deal the last of the rooseveltian inspired programs social security medicare and medicaid and you say it's up to obama to kill those so talk about this i mean are we in the midst of a crisis that as everyone says we are. well we're in a credit created crisis but it's a political crisis not an economic crisis. we're sorry and go

doing that was so apocalyptic like the world is going to end if ron paul is elected president i mean i liked it right i think he just kind of put it in poland things adds to shame he was one upped him but i'm wondering if that's a little unconventional for ron paul who will he usually is the unconventional candidate to start just doing the same all of hollywood for a thing that everyone else is yeah i actually checked out some of his videos from last time and they look like kind of local cable thrown together commercials for carpet stores or whatnot so this is a big step for him this is like produce and i have expected to see i half expect to see it for harry potter tonight i really could use some explosions maybe some gun fire a car chase i don't know i mean it is a little sad to see ron paul moving away from his you know. kind of low budget production values that i really came to love about ron paul he's just you know i think he's i think he's been turned by the washington establishment making big budget hollywood ads so we'll see how significant this is go big or go home oh maybe

can they be pushed into that corner ron's talking about? >> ron makes an excellent point.a real practical reality that exists out there and an option for the president. the problem is it cuts both ways. as we've seen from some of the recent polls, the president is trending now 31% for re-election among independents. he's taken a hit here. the question is how do people proceed that given all that's happened over the last two, three week, everybody's got mud on them? does he have more or less mud? the strategy, question, if you get to the point ron described, pulling the trigger what comes on the other side if the house says, no? >> last night, supposed to have the budget director on. worked with him in tip o'neill days. couldn't do the show. he was meet wig the vice president. he went through something quite real. they've offered tremendous offers. medicare, medicaid, social security, all kinds of painful cut proposals. if the republicans would just give some revenues to go home and say we got a decent deal here. right would not give them even that. they wouldn't say yes to

our aviation consultant ron wilson passed away this weekend.t 43 years as trusted spokesman for san francisco international airport. he loved in place and people and even problems so much when ron retired, he had more than one year of unused vacation. later as a consultant he provided a mine of information often help us better understand the story. he was a terrific spokesman, a good reporter and a great guy. when i first met him he treated me like an old friend. everyone here will miss him. >>> a landmark day for the gay rights movement as hundreds of same-sex couples tied the knot in new york. >> i now officially productive you legally married! >> they exchanged vows from niagara falls to long island as the law went into effect. in new york city alone 823 same-sex couples signed up at the clerk's office to get married today. one of the first couples to get married had been together for 23 years. >>> i can't believe the experience. >> we did it in canada for our 20th anniversary but now it's more feengful. now, we can truly take care of each o

ron is saying there is nothing on paper. there are things they are trying to get through. >> what the president is doing right now and what harry reid is doing is trying to necessigotia deal. that is what people do in congress. to ron's point, the president in february submitted a budget. then he gave a speech in april and laid out another plan that cut even more from the deficit. that was done in april at george washington university. the president has been up front what he wants. he wants to no longer extend the bush tax cuts and let them lapse. that is adding to our debt. that is something we need to address. we have an issue of rich people are not rich enough problem in the country. we have a middle class that is shrinking. poor people are no longer working. if we go with the boehner plan, we will fight about this in the next six months. they are stopping us from moving forward as a nation. >> ron, go ahead. >> i think tara is absolutely right. >> say that again? >> she is absolutely right. lost in the discussion, it is

ron paul speaking of political theater this is a video and it's ron paul asking ben bernanke in congress interrogating him very quickly if you could answer another question because i'm curious about this you know the price of gold today is fifteen hundred eighty dollars the dollar euro these last three years was neither you know almost fifty percent when you wake up in the morning you care about the price of gold but the price of gold but i think it reflects a lot of things and it reflects global uncertainties i think people are the reason people hold gold is a protection against what we call tail risk really really bad outcomes and to the extent that the last few years of me people move worried about potential of a major crisis then they have gold as a protection. money no but this is a fantastic video clip because it shows you really now forty years after the closure of the gold window it took forty years for wonks and policymakers and fed chairman to completely this is associate money from gold in their minds and this is the root of the global problem is that they think that their aca

so ron, would you go that far? does list speakership rider on this debt fight?shape. have you 78 members of the freshman class trying to stop the spending addition we have here in washington. he brought his responsibilities as speaker of the thousand govern the ins tougs but the fact that people are suggesting that his speakership would ride on the balance that there's not a deal that's accept a f acceptable is nonsense. he is well liked he was put in the leadership fora reason. strong steady leadership of the till. he's fine. >> maybe ron is missing something. >> yeah be i think so. >> freshmen congressman said he needs to be speaker. >> yeah, michele bachmann doesn't think so, reverend al and i don't think a lot of other republicans do as well. eric cantor is waiting in line. i think he is getting very itchy being number two. they remind me a lot, the republicans, of david snyder, owner of the redskins. he changes quarter backs every year np i think that's exactly the republicans problem. >> nia, do you think that we are,ç when we see eric cantor, who was off

ron jeremy is there. the lead singing group was leonard skin nerd. so ron jeremy is the guest. somebody said will you take a picture with ron jeremy? i walk back stage and there he is. i thought, hold it! do you have any idea who that is? i said, 15,000 x-rated movies. i literally had to take ron outside and say i am a big fan and you know each other and you cants do it with this guy. you will ruin his career. but i can take a picture with him. >> you worked -- it was like the first talk show with tony snow, right? >> the first one on fox cable. it was called off the record. they won an emmy when they took us off the air. but we followed "cops" and before" america's most wanted" so we didn't have the lead in we needed. >> but didn't tony help you a lot? >> he was great. he was one of the things -- this is sad. i love him. we gave a speech once and we had to fly overnight to get there. i was so hung over and i thought it was date before and it was the day after. tony went and wrote my speech including the shots i gave him. it was better than what i told him i missed him. by the

a distant third ron paul.ron paul, pawlenty and michele bachmann are sort of in this heat for third place. yet ron paul has raised more money than michele bachmann, matt, but michele bachmann is getting way more attention, why? >> look. ron paul raised a lot of money last time. there are a lot of dedicated donors out there who are true believers. they go online and vote. that's why he wins all these online polls. they donated a lot of money to him. i think michele bachmann everybody knows has a much better chance of winning and winning iowa. let me say something about the real problem that tim paw lenty faces. this is very serious. this is a guy who was perceived as being a front runner early on. he has his major problem. it's sort of a catch-22. it's this, you can't raise money until you show that you're doing well in the polls. you have to spend money to do well in the polls, which means you don't have money which means you have to spend money. it is a vicious cycle. >> speak of money, according to "usa toda

ron? >> beyond the need for a better risk-based approach to passenger and bag screening, i strongly recommend to create a better balance between the airport facility security and the passenger and bag screening operation. because right now we are spending most of our efforts on the front door when the backdoor is not secured at all. >> thank you. inspector parker? >> yes, sir, thank you. i'd like to see continued support for the canine programs because as stated before, amtrak is doing a lot and we definitely appreciate what congress has done for us to fund us. >> thank you. thank you all for being here. i appreciate it. it takes a lot of time, effort, and preparation of your testimony and for you being here today. we do appreciate it. and thank you. we wish you the best. our mutual goal on both sides of the aisle is to make this country as safe and security -- secure as possible. but at the same time, we need to make sure we're filling those gaps and asking the hard questions. that's what

pat buchanan was then the ron paul of the republican party, running hopeless campaigns for presidenthat won him a lot more votes than ron paul could ever dream of. >> tim, did we factor buchanan into this at all? if republicans abandon dole, do they revive the buchanan candidacy? perhaps tim is taking a coffee break. that's okay. do you think buchanan can go to the convention now and say i'm still here? >> buchanan is doing that. he's in the paper today says ross perot can take my voters. what he means by that is republican party better pay attention to me or my voters are going to go to ross perot. that's a strong argument at this point, and the republican party has to desperately figure out what to do with buchanan. >> pat is going to say wait a minute, if bob dole drops down in a throe-way race, what difference would a four-way race make? i don't think that will happen in the end. pat buchanan wants to be president of the united states, he's going to run in 2000, he doesn't want to antagonize people by being disloyal, but with bob dole perceived as a "weak nominee," pat buchanan i
