if you remember, there are three people involved at that night: ron paul, rick santorum and mitt romney. as the night war on we could see paul wasn't going to win. at 1:30 in the morning the chair stood up and announced mitt romney was the winner. what we see on caucus night, he was warned, may not be what we see because there is a certification process no body cares about usually. we had chaos leading up, super chaos on the night of the caucus and more on the nights once they figured out. there are 17 different p prestincts and they had to go back and certify them. they never counted eight of them for? reason. some all of the volunteers were supposed to turn it over to the state. the party said they never got the results and some people said we gave it to you. to this day and probably forever it will not be solved. so those eight prestincts will never be counted and in the end it showed rick santorum up. but matt strong was hesitant to call rick the winner and that escalated the tension. and in "caucus chaos" rick santorum had a shouting match about how this was going down. >> we don't

ron paul's son has been trying so hard to make in-roads with the neocons who never liked ron paul becauselike this. this will be an issue for rand paul. his dad will come out and say, you know, we should be friends with vladimir putin. >> it makes me wonder if he figured the hatred of the president is so intense that if he said something nice about vladimir putin no one would notice. or no one would care. one of the many problems from my perspective of a senator rand paul candidacy for president, i think someone so isolationist in their view and this sort of kindness for vladimir putin, i'm looking forward to hearing him explain why he said that and why he felt compelled to say something nice, come to the defense of vladimir putin are. >> i'm just looking for the headlines now in 2015, 2016. rand paul distances self from father. that will be a standing header. thank you, jonathan and david. >>> up next, elizabeth warren doesn't run for president who will carry the liberal left's message in 2016? this is "hardball," the place for politics. they say his magic erasers tackle so many messes,

i don't think ron paul is personally disgusting but what he was doing was.i do have concerns about the impact if they were is among the conservative movement. i don't think it's consistent with conservative thought i think the idea that libertarians and i'm not talking about libertarian conservatives because they are conservatives that have a libertarian spin who are stronger in some of these issues particularly the issue of constitutional protections and limitations. i think that's a healthy debate within the republican party as to how much government does to the issues of privacy. i think those are very important issues and so libertarian conservatives not as big a concern that libertarians and some of the folks that pretend to be libertarian conservatives are not necessarily so. they are libertarian strain to change what conservatism is. there i have a lot more problems, everything from their isolationist view of how we approach national security. i think we have seen in the last five years of the obama administration what isolationism in america taking a

ron paul was when you could argue had a longer shelf life and legacy than anybody here because he rany, again in 2012. he was the only guy who greatly raised his profile and raced his support from a weight to 12. he more than doubled his support. these people got organized and he found a way to get people engaged in a way that they have never in their lives. these were people who didn't normally vote in some cases. he had really been people show up at his events.

partly because he's the son of another libertarian, ron paul. rand paul is serious about this stuff. i would say he's pretty committed, pretty smart and the other thing is he's where are the american people are now. >> where are the republican leaderers like that? >> they are locked into the past. that's basically it. it worked for them for a generation and a half. >> smart move. >> it goes to the late 60s and early 70s against george mcgovern and successive democrats as weak on defense. they played it over and over again even though reagan was different. don't forget, the polls show most of the american people think the iraq war was a mistake. that we pasted money -- >> do the republican money men think that? >> i think increasingly they may. don't forget hillary clinton who is more conservative in many ways and more of a hawk than rand paul has also now said finally she thinks she made a mistake when she voted for the iraq war. that shows rand paul is headed in the right direction. >> senator john mccain and liz cheney took shots at rand paul t

that gap well i think in a lot of ways it's already been bridged i mean if you look at a guy like ron paul for example you know he worked across the aisle quite a bit with counterparts on the left you know with me i think if any of anyone that's leading to the left or the liberal you know if you look at my policies i think we've got a lot in common and i try to tell that to voters all the time obviously my my district is heavily democratic so whether you're looking at immigration policy whether you're looking at ending the drug war whether you're looking at my noninterventionist foreign policy you know obviously i would be to your rights and i could go on but there's a lot that we have in common and i think to be successful we just have to focus on what we have in common as opposed to focusing on what we don't and then we don't get anywhere right i mean it's the political game that's reshaping the narrative in this country i think that that's part of the bigger problem you you know is looking into you earlier in your campaign and your platform and i wanted to talk about a couple of the spe

i was going to say the libertarian serial, not rand paul, the ron paul or two years ago brought out a book whose title i'm now for cutting. like the 50 brief chapters on american ideals. one of the chapters was a direct assault saying it was -- she basically denied, did everything he could to deny that the four freedoms in any way represent what the united states was about. jim demint. i don't know if you call him a libertarian, the jim demint on any given day can be a libertarian or a conservative bent perhaps reactionary. at the heritage foundation. jim demint in one of his recent book similarly attacked freedom from want is an ideal. that is one of the great mistakes any president ever made was to pronounce that. and it seems to me that yes, libertarian are ready to an race freedom of speech and expression and i welcome the participation in that campaign so long as they want to join in helping to make freedom of speech and expression include the right to organize labor unions and guarantee right and guarantee that african-american and other people of color will not be denied their
