andy, i have to ask you, as our resident libertarian, did you watch ron paul's response as well?i watched the first 30 seconds of ron paul's response, and then i wept back to playing -- i went back to playing mass affect too. >> i heard he did a great job. >> he did. >> but after an hour of the president and 20 minutes or however long, i couldn't take it anymore. >> i hear you. >> a response to the response to the response. >> yes. and bill, being that the camera is on you, you said that rubio's spanish language was a little too much. i disagree. you know what, republicans get accused all the time of not doing out reach. he has made immigration reform a key tenant of what he plans to accomplish. why not speak to people who speak spanish as a first language. >> he should have said that and then not again in espanol. that was the spanish word for pandering. you have to do that with your hand. >> that's an italian gesture. are you italian? >> i am italian. >> i am rubbing off on you, bill. >> don't do it. >> paul, i would say you to as well, you said what is behind this rubio thing?

cannot reflate it was under stairs at a point where either team was heard about gary johnson or ron paul making a serious impact on the election and whether you took any action for that possibility. >> i am going to re-ask your question. but there was a point in the fall of the 11, where you and i would have conversations and i was convinced it is going to be americans of that. you were convinced he was a potential threat. >> if you look at 92 and the incumbent president, at the time the city said earlier, we are going through a brutal time after the debt limit. they looked into those potential candidates could be and some of them could drop. on the gary johnson thing, we did the close of that. we like that the possessions on pro-marijuana. >> there is a theory -- >> marijuana initiative -- >> in colorado. >> theory, you can speak to this that no matter who we looked at the end of the day, we didn't lose out because people didn't want to be for us, but didn't want to be someone they would default there. so they'd heard he made a about us. so we ultimately concluded an independent would h

>> that's what ron paul said. what do you think about it?at i think about it is probably not good for tv. but chris -- he's not a professional doctor. he's not qualified to treat people for ptsd. that wasn't the thing. he was just going there to get this kid to hang out with him, to get his mind off of whatever it was on. and to have a good time, just to get him out of the house. i don't think that whatever the reports are saying, you know, kind of being embellished a little bit. i don't think chris was there to treat him for anything. i think he was there to hang out with him as a fellow veteran and to try to be a friend and someone just to hang out with. >> marcus, thank you very much for coming on and talking about your friend. chris kyle appeared on conan o'brien's show to talk about his book and the bounty insurgents put on his head. you can see that interview on cnn.com. it's on our home page. >>> one of the nra's most vocal supporters, ted nugent, gives us an exclusive look at his ranch and the guns he owns. during our visit, he makes

you know ron paul he is not alone in a lot of other senators they had wrote this letter to the obama administration demanding answers most recently rand paul wrote a letter directly to brennan and he lays out about thirty questions i want to read one of them here he said it quote do you agree with the argument put forth on numerous occasions by the executive branch that it is legal to order the killings of american citizens and that it is not compelled to explain its reasoning and reaching this conclusion and do you believe this is a good precedent for the government to set so i want to ask you tom a lot of questions what do you think is the most urgent that the public deserves a right to know. the urgent is the most urgent question yeah exactly when it comes to drones are so many questions it's a very secretive campaign what do you think the public off the bat should know has a right to know well i mean you know i mean less summer you know i wrote a ten thousand word story on the this issue for esquire and got into some of these questions and there's but there really is i mean is the

dr ron paul's presidential campaign because they believed in something because they believed in free markets and limited government and they believe in individual responsibility personal responsibility i believed in that which is why i donated my time and money that campaign and i worked with partners to do things like paul people like senator rand paul instead of marco rubio help us in the power because we knew that there was going to be no way for us to stop the obamacare agenda if we didn't put ourselves in a real strong conservatives in the house if you look at the house republicans if you look at who is really a true fiscal conservatives you can probably count on both hands the amount of real true conservative libertarian but there is more we used to have one just wrong paul now we have about twelve we're putting together a real coalition that could put a an actual libertarian republican in the white house i believe that rand paul is right that the country is ready for a libertarian republican narrative so you're using the word conservative a libertarian or a virtually interchan
