welch and appreciate his we we respect for dr.l's supporter and the countless young people our campaign has energized to get involved in the process, and the only point he misses is that dr. paul has a paths to the nomination through down stream nomination focusing on the caucus and convention process and we plan to work for victory both in tampa and in november." so it sounds like he is thanking but says don't write me off just yet. >> and that is a valid comment he has made and i wish him well in his ideas but i would bet the few cents i have that the end of the game dealing with him is going to be very important issue for whoever the nominee is. >> what if it does look like it will be newt gingrich or mitt romney and ron paul threatens to go third party do you still support the man? >>guest: well, ron paul has, look, maybe -- i believe ron paul is not able to tell a lie about this because he says so many things that weirdly honest all the time. he doesn't have that political led it button and i think when he says he has no plan

and one man who knows the economy is jack welch.ays mitt romney is the most qualified leader from a business point of view he's ever seen run for president. welcome back, jack. >> last time, you were pretty pro tim pawlenty. many people think if he stayed the distance and not bailed out so soon, he would actually be in a very good position. >> what i like about pawlenty, i don't know him, i don't know romney very well. in pawlenty's case, he had a vision of 5% growth rate. put that up there, put every policy in the country around making that 5% and you'll get real growth and get employment back. that's what we need. i liked that part of his campaign and wanted to take a good look at him on that basis. i think he might have had some runway if he stayed with it. we need a growth rate. >> mitt romney, you say from a presidential candidate point of view is the best you have ever seen. that's high praise. >> i'm talking about as a candidate. we never know what somebody will do when they get the big job, always a question. as a candidate,

, but is of welch descendant has the characteristics of the welch in being very musical.r if this facility of words may not be particularly an english thing. >> yes, but then again, our roots, originally were english here. one of the big things is people came here to do something, and the whole you tilltarian approach to education has cost us a lot in conversation. people here who go to university tend to specialize early and i don't think you really see that many people with what would have been in the old days considered a liberal education that is well lettered conversationally. making a toast, the first thing realized when she got over there and was mixing with lawyers from various countries, the best toasts came from the english attorneys and the worst toasts came from the american attorneys. and it was because they couldn't draw on the classics. they didn't have that same sort of liberal education to begin with. >> i'll throw out a few american thinkers who are very articulate. the senator -- >> he was an old tradition and immersed in the classics. >> add lay steven

for you there but that was editor in chief of reason magazine matt welch talking about the surprising surge in support for ron paul he took second place in the new hampshire primary and of course a lot of responsibility behind that is the youth vote which is seemingly turning out for him in droves now you don't have to go to a ron paul rally to hear about the problem of corruption on wall street on k. street and within the halls of congress and moneys on do influence in politics is precisely what gave birth to the occupy wall street movement and all the protests may not actually be changing policy yet they are forcing the question of whether this country stands for the best government or the best government that money can buy well that happens to be the name of an excellent documentary by filmmaker francis gone east so let's turn to our early studio and hear from the man himself francis welcome back to the program the best money the government pardon me that money can buy we had you on i guess over a year ago to talk about the role of politics and money what's changed since then in yo

it us now earlier i brought in the editor in chief of reason magazine to answer this question that welch is also the co-author of this book here the declaration of independence how a libertarian how sorry how libertarian politics can fix what's wrong with america and i asked matt welch why he thinks ron paul is now surging. i think the first thing to recognize is how much of the searches then mitt romney has gotten about the same amount of votes in two thousand and eight in iowa basically the same number in new hampshire the percentage point more awful triple his vote in new hampshire and even more for the vote in ohio i think what's going on august lee's that's and then we've got a financial crisis a lot of which was predicted by people like wrong paul and his kind of school austrian economics which bodes very heavily on the federal reserve and government created bubbles and what damage they can do when they collapse real estate bubble has since collapsed and we've seen the damage done since then and we've also seen in these sort of bailout economics bipartisan bailout economics look th

welch: thankou, i thank the gentleman. the course of action that is being proposed by the republican majority is two things. one, it's reckless and irresponsible, and two, it's cynical and very political. first of all, why is it reckless and irresponsible? it is because this country has never seriously considered defaulting on its obligations, saying no to paying its bills. what greatountry would ever seriously suggest to its citizens that it will stiff its creditors with all the economic chaos that would ensue? also, the reason that we have to raise the debt ceiling is not so we have permission to spend more money. it's to meet obligations that have been incurred. many of those obligations, incidentally, are for expenditures i opposed but you supported. the war in iraq. the extension of the bush tax cuts. medicare scriion drug part d that was never paid for. the extension of the bush tax cuts a year ago december. when it was going to add $800 billion to the 10-year deficit but even on the in order to accommodate that, you

i wanted to ask aboutish -- welch of the ability to repay roll under dodd/frank, whether a qualified mortgage should either be a safe harbor or rebuttable presumption. the concern has been expressed that a rebuttable presumption will present an uncertain legal standard that will result in overly cautious underwriting and less consumer access to credit. can you share with me your views the safe harbor rebuttable presumption? >> sure. so the ability to repay rule, as you know, and as you mentioned, is one of the rules congress has required us to adopt to try to fix what we're seeing as and what were problems in the mortgage market. you would think that you wouldn't really need to have a rule where the lender pays attention to whether the borrower will be able to repay the loan before making a loan. but securitization practices and other things created misaligned incentives in that market. so we are to adopt that rule. one of the issues that we have heard maybe most about, with respect to that rule thus far, and we aren't even to the proposed rule stage, although it is a rule we are goi

jack welch says you know we've got to be nice we've got to be considerate to ron paul supporters what is your message for those who may be courting your vote in the future i mean is do most ron paul supporters say we either vote for ron paul or no one or you know is there talk of who to back as a second choice. there is no second choice for ron paul supporters you will never hear of a former ron paul supporter anybody who hears the message and does some research and understands it pours their heart into it and it stirs up a passion and we're growing and you know i'm a member of a activist group here where we're organizing to win california for ron paul and we know that people are organizing in all the states we have you know we're growing by twenty percent per week in in l.a. in los angeles where i'm a volunteer organizer and you know we have a strategy and there is no there's no difference between the other three candidates and what we currently have i mean the other issues that come up when we visit him every year abortion and you know all of these other ones these are not the issue
