paul also won the southern republican leadership conference straw poll in april. ining traction? he says it's the rise of libertarianism. >> time has come around to the point where the people are agreeing with much of what i've been saying for 30 years. so i think the time is right. >> congressman paul may be right. if you define libertarianism as minimal government and political, social and economic affairs. a recent poll shows that 63%, practically a consensus of americans, believe that the federal government interferes too much with individuals and too much with businesses. the national debt is now more than $14 trillion. question, is ron paul right, are americans too focused on individual autonomy and too little on the nanny states? >> i think ron paul is right about a lot of things, and the nanny state is a big part of it. and such is the nanny stated where new regulations telling us, for instance, we have to buy health insurance or on the local level all the nanny states. so it's also the -- government that's way too big, the taxes are way too high and the po

king was supportive of the idea but he and his organization -- the southern christian leadership conference was busy preparing for a major campaign in birmingham the next thing so he didn't have a whole lot of time to spend on another large initiative and so the idea just kind of sat there until after the birmingham campaign and as i'm sure most of know something about birmingham which was the real turning point in the civil rights movement struggle against southern segregation. and after birmingham king and his aides had a conference call where they talked about wheelchair next move would be and we know exactly what they said on that call because it was wiretapped by the fbi, which is one of the, you know, horrible ironies doing work in this period is some of the best evidence you thought comes from these fbi wiretaps may be another way to get them but there it is. so king's aides said here's what we'll do. we'll do birmingham again and again and again all throughout -- in cities all throughout the south. and king lets them go on and then he interrupts and he says we're at this critical mo
