ron paul has every chance to be nominated this time because he's endorsed by the u.s. military is more indorsements from. that or just growing from grassroots tea party style candidates at the state level if you look at the iowa state legislature in the new hampshire state legislature i've said before more donations from the military than any other candidate all of the candidates combined because of the the youth with a wide coalition from left to right to radical center everyone loves ron paul so. of course see he has chance it being nominated but people have to get out there and be registered republican so you have to vote for him to get the nomination if if you're not a republican and you're in a closed primary state then you know the establishment doesn't have to worry about you the establishment is only going to start to worry when activists get motivated enough to register people republican and get them in those primary voting booths let me give you a different take for example writes richard adams in the guardian described ron paul's performance last night and s

need you to get behind ron paul we need you america to put your voice on ron paul. can you hear me it's the thought that was a hero but what. i heard early tendrils of hope about the republican party and i sniffed it like like a shark with blood in the water and i thought i would throw just a few pennies into the mix write the stuff was worth going to a third media interrupting them one time for me to give you. those oh see how it is applied you know i wasn't there you know you're there and if you build a conspiracy there's the goddess right if you go some talk about ron paul's if you pay off our producer something here right never trust anyone with two first names that's why i don't go to a bachmann stall near george michael anyway look. the republicans have not balanced the budget since eisenhower and two thirds of the federal budget is spent on entitlements and other twenty percent on defense as they call it really are fans and so until the republican party as a whole starts cutting to the chase and actually talking about cutting in title minutes or cutting defen

internal business don't get involved in these wars bring our troops home and the gospel according to paul and his foreign policy chapter is going mainstream r t is there in iowa or that. it's still. hear me now well if you were in san francisco waiting for the train last night the answer to that is probably no coming up we'll tell you how the bar tried to stop a protest before it even began by cutting off cell phone service and what this means about freedom of speech. costs a lot of money because you have to spend a lot of money to send the. right money spent elsewhere so why is the us empire spending so much money on wars instead of its own citizens these late rating agencies have been wrong about nearly everything for the past ten to fifteen years don't pay any attention to them how we rate them great those u.s. credit ratings agencies how they stack up let's play their mood swings and more. good evening it's friday august twelfth eight pm here in washington d.c. i'm laurin listerine you're watching our t.v. while the g.o.p. hopefuls faced off in the iowa debate last night maybe you saw

why is paul gaining 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 policy too aggres

and i was up there with the whole paul family and that's open for congressman paul i'm going to look let's hear a lot more of listen i know you've been working out yes more let's say we can we can we get a live performance and sit here this out really exciting absolutely and this is the sticker this is the sticker all the guitar has are the promise he would have on there until ron paul and president say that i'm told today ladies and gentlemen lot of revolutions ok. good. but if you lose the voices. in. this. thank you good. as to. call. me with a. red stone rises that's an old saying. and began to. flow through all the. food. so. closely broke no let's meet. last ten miles long the phone three homeless begging. for a bank you see. both sides of the. forest chairmen spouting the last of. you will be told. to live the way the creed told there's clearly an. old game you see it's good to see. old. when i. moved. to. say. it's a little close just. to. be flown lovely to be. kids. told. the. police the truth is treason pm. me to freedom are all the elderly. it's temple's me you told me wh

desire to see the economy crash before november of two thousand and two all and you want congressman paul ryan to be looking out for you in congress oh it could happen but only if the price is right and ideally take i'll tell you how paul ryan is one of the best congressman money can buy. republicans a lot of tax cuts right. not president obama supports them to a one of the most bizarre examples a right wing political hackery yet republicans are already lining up against president obama's proposed payroll tax cut it's. tension policy the president hopes to include in his new jobs plan to be unveiled next month cut lowers the six point two percent social security payroll tax down to four point two percent saving the average worker on a thousand bucks a year since millionaires and billionaires pay a much lower percentage of their income in payroll taxes because it's hardly noticeable to them which might explain why republicans oppose a budget committee member and one of the gang of twelve republican jeb and surveying nixed the idea of extending the payroll tax cut saying oh it's always abou

internal business don't get involved in these wars just bring our troops home is the gospel according to paul and his foreign policy chapter is going mainstream r.t. is there for it in iowa. costs a lot of money because you have to spend a lot of money to send. that's right money spent elsewhere so why is the u.s. empire spending so much money on wars instead of its own citizens. these lame rating agencies have been wrong about nearly everything for the past ten or fifteen years don't pay any attention to them ok so let's raise the rating agencies just how do they stack up well explain their mood swings and more. good evening it's friday august twelfth i'm lauren lyster here in washington d.c. and you're watching r t well the g.o.p. hopefuls last night bay stopped in iowa in a debate for the most part it was a sea of hawkish conservative foreign policy talking points you'd expect from a g.o.p. debate the threats of nukes in iran and why military spending should not be cut were widespread views that were expressed but on the stage a very different voice emerged to ron paul's and he got a lot o

the libertarian ron paul because on the thirteenth floor in a hotel. so why is the republican establishment and the corporate media ignoring the ron paul campaign is it possible to see him as a threat or offer his take on the issues mike riggs these those. editor of the libertarian reason magazine. thank you tom how are you i'm well would you vote for ron paul i am a principled nonvoter but i do so i'm not going to vote for anyone whether or not he's the guy i like the most is more of a gary johnson guy i mean anybody guy but i definitely deserves more attention ok well in that context is he dangerous to the establishment of the republican party. here is hitting some notes at a time when the republican party is basically running away from some record spending under bush was under by no means under control paul objecting to it then he's objecting to it now the only problem is he was running against one objecting to it then i think americans are done with war they're ready for this to be over. again that's something you know republicans hope to engineer

we read the new book by paul mccurio. where should one go to celebrate the 20th anniversary of "point break"? i would recommend my basement, but it is pretty crowded. >>> do you live to get radical? if so you are not only aware of the fact it is 20th anniversary of the movie ". break" the --" point break" but devoted broads know that tonight marks part two of the red eye special report on what made johnny utah tick, how body road his stick, and why gary busey is so gary busey. the following package is old ka the godfather part twof point break sequel. it is rocked to the very foundation. >> just got back from rockaway. while i wasn't radical there, i developed a radical hunger. i know what you are thinking. where can i go to celebrate the 20th anniversary of "point break." how about a bar called point break? it is in midtown manhattan. it has surf, turf and photos of patrick swayze. join me. >> i can't do this. >> sure, you can. who knows. you might like it. it is a killer rush. >> this is your wake up call, billy. i am a

it's not ron paul i don't like. it's ron paul's supporters. >> supporters. >> the des moines register calls him a conservative blow torch. >> the problem pawlenty has is he didn't stand up to the high school quarterback and now he's picking on the captain of the cheerleading squad. >> now he's back on the radio air waves and that's bad news for the republican presidential field. >> what i want to do this time is traumatize pretty much all of them. >> he's part of a new iowa breed of republican activists. >> there is a new crop of evangelical conservatives who are unbending, uncompromising, and are tired of being told one thing when another thing happens and he is the mouthpiece of that movement. >> tim has seen when that mouthpiece can do. he worked for mitt romney's 08 iowa campaign and dace detests romney. >> with mitt romney, he has no record on any issue, from the bush tax cuts to immigration amnesty, to life, to marriage, he has no record at all. >> so starting in late 2007 from his old station, who in des moin

paul and bachmann were the ones they felt had the energy and momentum and it was bachmann, paul, one, two. >> absolutely. michele bachmann's victory is impressive here. we knew she going in needed a win to maintain being the iowa front-runner and she did. and get this, she did it as being a candidate for a month and a and a half. he didn't have the organization going in this way tim pawlenty did who has been running for president since 2009. so that was impressive. we also know attending a lot of the straw polls in the past that ron paul knows how to work the straw polls, knows how to do well in them, her victory is impressive. you and david were just talking about tim pawlenty, and what really struck me about the numbers that both paul and bachmann more than doubled pawlenty's vote total. that's a troubling thing for the minnesota governor. >> mark murray, my partner in crime, keep going. read more on msnbc.com. we have been constantly -- it is a wire service for political junkies. mark, get back there. >> thank you, chuck. >>> all right. joining me now, republican presidential candi

what do you think of rand paul? >> while he was speaking i think that illusion to the 19th century is slavery. he's compares a fight over an artificial debt limit to probably the greatest sin in american history. that's a little much, at least for me and i was struck at what a different type of republican we have in the senate. years ago, the leader was dirkson. he said, i'm a man of fixed and unbending principals and the first of those is flexibility. that's how deals got down. that's how the civil rights legislation got passed, helping a democratic president, lyndon

all right so ron paul was not convinced but i'm going to say the most astounding thing i saw was apple straw poll itself this is the way it works each of the candidates have you know their campaign bus and maybe a tent and the stage ron paul had an entire wing of iowa state university games and stages and multiple tents yes the ron paul can't spent more money on you can see i took some of these pictures that used that you're seeing behind me these are people who were decked out in ron paul gear on you know and they needed the space that ron paul rented they had a bus load of supporters and tons of people and they showed up and they voted out of the sixteen thousand eight hundred ninety two vote cast ron paul came in that into place losing to michele bachmann by a hundred fifty thousand but that is less than one percent let's take a listen to how mainstream media interpreter interpreted this quote based on what we know today the republican nominee for president is almost certainly going to be one of the three candidates michele bachmann rick perry or mitt romney we have a talk here it i

he didn't get half of what ron paul got. he lost to the guy who lost so bad he dropped out of the race. santorum? >> we're looking at mitt romney who continues to be the frontrunner. but we have rick perry as well and now michele bachmann. let's not count out john huntsman though. >> jon: what? john huntsman? huntsman got 69 votes. if all of john huntsmans sporters met at the same ames iowa restaurant the fire marshal would say, that's fine. no problem. there's still some tables open in the back. huntsman was the only mormon running in the straw poll, and he came in second amongst mormons. and by the way this pretending ron paul doesn't exist for some reason has been going on for weeks. >> a new gallup survey showing rick perry running second to mitt romney knocking down iowa favorite michele bachmann to fourth. >> jon: behind who? fourth behind who? how did libertarian ron paul become the 13th floor in a hoe hotel? why... what's wrong with... he is tea party patient zero. all that small government grass roots businesses he

great to have you back with us. >> nice to be with you, paul. >> paul: what do you think about the president's bus tour, did he accomplish what he he wanted to. >> he took a bus tour through some of the rural and town counties in one splotch of rural and smalltown county areas that he carried in 2008, but i don't think that he accomplished very much. a run of bad luck is not an alibi that i think that most americans are going to accept and the policy ideas that he he ladled out were pretty thin gruel. i mean, we're going to attract more doctors to rural counties and stuff. this is the sort of thing a congressman runs on, not a president. >> paul: let's step back and look at the big picture. you wrote this week in the journal in 1970 when you started following some of the american politics for a book you wrote, that the economic model in the midwest that was involved, big companies and big unions really seem to be the future of america's political economy, but it hasn't turned out that way. what's happened? >> well, the michigan model, as i called it, a name for my home state, which is sort of

gold standard fell just short of a victory in ames straw poll this past weekend so what's next for ron paul and the ideas he represents. i would welcome the opportunity of having anyone assassinate fidel castro and any leader who is suppressing oppressing the people so what powerful cuban americans in congress and powerful anti castro lobbies behind them is there any hope for americans who want to snuff out sanctions against cuba. good evening it's monday august fifteenth i'm lauren lyster here in washington d.c. and you're watching r.t. now as we see u.s. policymakers trying to figure out just how to respond to the economic turmoil we've seen in the past few weeks if you have been living under a rock we saw the markets shoot down shoot back up and we saw the u.s. its credit rating downgraded for the first time by standard and poor's and now as policymakers figure out what to do with all of this we can look back on history for a powerful lesson on what can go wrong and it still being felt today forty years ago to this day president nixon been. inflation the staggering war costs are causing

why do you hate paul ryan's constituents well. if i what if i were in an office and someone came in and sat in my state lobby for ten hours i did issue a warrant to have them prove it if i'm going back in again to they don't have an appointment they have nothing to say so you're going to sit there and stink up the office like virtually your ten hour just fending the practice of having high risk going to everybody we're here absolutely right about that you're absolutely don't even if somebody is if somebody is you know obstructing you know whatever that that's you know people get your through you know a restaurant bar that's able to do it now as as a as a statement of peaceful protest i have no problem with that the my concern is that we have a congressman who eighty has a history of writing legislation for the people giving the most money and b. is refusing to meet with any of his constituents in a pre free public venue isn't isn't there something corrupt how much is it charging . for those town hall meeting he should be free what

ron paul. what's the name again ron paul. maybe i've seen his name here and there but i couldn't remember i couldn't remember hearing it. exactly yeah well he's a congressman he wants to end the war he wants and the federal reserve he once our constitution actually honors. bill of rights those things that our country is founded on he basically wants to keep those in place and keep them safe so that america is safe. in a minute of the minute. you should look him up he's a good guy is a good yeah and you want to uphold the constitution absolutely and he wants to end the rule yes bring all this to sound like family and friends. how does he stand with the president. run yeah well his last name for the. ron paul ok got you got you. can go texas edition rick perry the clone of bush who announced into the g.o.p. talk here last saturday recently said that fed chair ben bernanke was almost reasoners one and he writes if rick perry wants to talk about reason and look no farther than i have been mirror you traitorous bastard how about s

gold standard fell just short of a victory in the ames straw poll this weekend what's next for ron paul in the big ideas he represents. and with obama now riding his job bus on the campaign trail just two is to blame for the state of the economy i guess thinks he has the answers. good afternoon it's monday august fifteenth four pm here in washington d.c. i'm lauren lyster and you're watching r.t. now as we see u.s. policymakers trying to figure out how to respond to the turmoil we've seen in the past weeks the stock market plummeting the downgrade of the u.s. credit rating by standard and poor's we can look back on history for a lesson still being felt today forty years ago to this day president nixon faced inflation staggering war costs which had caused an increase in money printing and a decrease in the value of the dollar also joblessness now he was fifteen months away from reelection ring a bell well that's about where president barack obama is right now and he gave the country the nixon shock in response to what he ended the last remnants of the gold standard making it so dollars c

she was head over heels in love and paul, well, paul was still on the fence. he feared that they were from very different backgrounds, and she dreaded meeting her right-wing father. he worried that julia would revert from being a pasadena socialite at the end of the war. she referred to the peace time lies to see how they like each other in civilian clothes. as they return to the states and the mentor separate ways. paul beckham washington and juliet to california. and she embarked on a mission to win him over. she subscribed to "the washington post" and "the new york times" much to her father's work so she could read what paul read. she even took up the novels of henry miller which she found x-rated but all adored and she took her first cooking lesson so she could make him a homemade kneal when he came to visit. well, after six months of a long-distance courtship and in increasingly steamy correspondence, paul succumbed to julia's charms. he allowed his heart to overrule, his hand to overrule his heart, and they were married in september, 1946. in 1948, two y

paul camers is live -- paul chambers is live with mere. >> reporter: this man right here, eric walker, made up a plan to rob. police say 23-year-old eric walker is one of the suspect the in the barbershop armed robbery -- one of the suspects in the barbershop armed robbery. the teenager worked here once a week, doing odd jobs. police say he later confessed. >> he admitted that he was involved in the planning of the robbery, part of that was the faineing of the robbery -- feigning of the robbery so that he would not look suspicious. >> reporter: holmes says walker stole his keys to his suv, his wallet and jewelry. this led to an amber alert. holmes asked the teen if he was involved. >> are you involved in this? he said, no. that guy robbed me like he robbed you. okay. where did he take you? he said he took me on lone tree. >> reporter: investigators said they went to the house on lone way and that's where they arrested walker. >> during the search we located a sawed-off shot gun that we believe was used in the robbery. >> reporter: all right. walker is facing carjacking, armed robbery,

ron paul as being second. there was so much enthusiasm in iowa for ron paul. we need to get out of this war kand bring our money home to the united states and take care of our debts here. host: he was listed as a close second to rep michelle bachmann. the minnesota republican got 4823 votes. brownstone, mich., welcome to the conversation. caller: i have two little comments to make. everybody is talking about health care and we will get health care and we have to pay for health care. i want somebody to think about something -- i am social security disabled and i get part a. i cannot afford cannotb so how can we afford pitching in for health care. i have no health care. the other thing i would like to say is that i am sorry, i am tired of the politicians. i am tired of the rhetoric. ok,just plain tired host: thanks for the call. you can join the conversation on twitter and next up is nelson from woodbridge, va.. caller: good morning. it is basically a passion for the republicans to voice their rhetoric. i think they all say the same thing. in 2012, the democrats

ron paul wasn't getting enough attention from the media i mean he did come in second from the straw poll in ames and yet everybody kind of glossed over him was acting like mitt romney and michele bachmann and rick perry are the only ones worth talking about well maybe people will get talking after they look at this new ad is. it's the story of a lost city lost opportunity. still the stories of the city's seal. the story you're smiling too she. says she said. to be sure. to. see. spoke. to the. principal. there's still. a pretty. good. restore america now. i'm going to go out on a limb and say that's probably the most epic campaign ad i've ever seen about you guys. announcement but it was actually pretty epic i would say yes and this is the morning i could never get out well i mean this one really kind of addresses the issues head on i mean. you also did you know actually you know i read the script of it and i thought oh that's a little bit over the top you know this is this is still over the top but it's a pretty good music to bring these i mean you know i mean like this is clearly

i suppose you're making a play by not always you can accuse me by saying that like ron paul he has the most hardcore supporters right that's something that has been acknowledged by everyone out there as they are dedicated they're hard core as they are falling to the edge you're calling you are calling not to make some good points in there in this ad about the fact that he has stood by his word which is what makes him such an interesting politician such an interesting candidate candidate is that he hasn't changed his stance five million times and flip flop by million times like every other politician out there over the last thirty years the one that can bring peace i'm sorry right we all hope for world peace to say you're the only one that can bring it about us it's a little much but what i'm. saying learned not to. accept campaign promise now we've learned now i know i know but we'll get out of what you know clinton could have got the same treatment he was he was a sensation when he was first running and then we all realize just how he was and i think that we're all realizing this abou

tell you that are we missing a certain someone here what is with the mainstream media ignoring wrong paul. big you most people are one or two paychecks away from losing now. and what happens then well thousands of middle class americans can tell you out on their asphalt we'll take you to a place where the american dream has faded into the sunset right alongside the million dollar advance. and the wheels on obama's job bus are going round and round so as he rolls into the midwestern towns two americans have any job hope for a jump start on jobs. and coming to america we asked on the streets answered looks like we may have a little bit of london right here good old u.s. of a. it's tuesday august sixteenth i'm christine freeze out in washington d.c. and you are watching our team all right guys well i am fresh back from ames iowa where i covered last week's g.o.p. debate as well as the iowa straw poll i did spend some quality time in middle america and also got a front row seat to some of the early campaigning that's going on for the republican primary and i want to make some of the observati

so, paul, what do you make about this? is this a real concern about -- there is some on the left even talking about running a candidate against obama in a primary. >> yeah, i think -- that's the kifs death for any president. i can't think of any president who's been opposed in a primary and then went on to be re-elected. i don't think it's happened in the modern era. i see no signs of that. as i tell my kids nhd, not happening, dude. there will not be a primary challenge. in fact, president obama's as strong as he's ever been essentially, among democrats. now there are some thoughtful commentators. matt miller is a smart guy. he used to work for president clinton as well. no left winger, he. i would take it seriously but i don't see tatgrassroots yet. it's kind of at the elite of it. the truth is his problem with voters is among independents. it's not among his liberal base. >> candy, do you agree with paul on that? i mean should the president be worried that he might have reached some sort of a tipping point? >> listen, t

paul. to give you a little fabric for the committee here, we have the largest population of any in the states. they have been part of the city for 30 years and work closely with the community. we have the largest corin and a group from beer ma -- berma. we work closely with them. the culture of trust you spoke about in developing relationships have shown many positive and examples where people have come forward to entrust us with information that we can share with our federal partners to make sure number one the city is safe and the country is safe as well, so, yes, we work with all our diverse immigrant communities. i hope i answered your question correctly, but it is important to have those communities of trust in place, and local law enforcement, as you noted earlier, sir, are boots on the ground. we are the first line of defense, and we have to work with the communities that we serve. thank you. >> thank you. one of the things congress historically done is invest with local law enforcem

was get him paul and he was getting a little feisty and i found it rather seductive. and i got i don't know presidential mitt romney still looks like a sleeve the car salesman if you ask me but let's move on to your favorite girl michele here's a question i'm going to play a clip of it was asked her last night that kind of had a lot of people up in a tizzy take a look but the lord said be submissive why are you sure to be submissive to your husband and president would you be submissive to your house. what do you think about when i thought it was a perfectly rational question i've seen that pope many times because she was giving a speech at one of these mega churches one of these holy living tabernacle of the waters of the sacred christ of mary in the sky and she said you can watch it and that's where we're going to let me stop you there for a second because i was kind of sad about that at first so i could leave actually after that i thought i was really fair they would never ask a guy if he was going to make his wife submit to her but then i also saw the clip where sh

earlier i talked to kentucky senator, paul reason, who plans to vote no. you plan to vote against this in the senate. you're unwilling to participate in a congressman that can pass through congress and get signed by the president. your critics say your choice not to compromise is not -- is compromise a dirty word? >> we've offered several compromises. i was part of a group that orchestrated a compromise called "cup, cap and balance." which would have given the entire $2 trillion the president requested in exchange. >> the cut cap and balance i understand the idea behind it but it's not something that can really get passed but that's not really a compromise. >> there is an argument about when it's right to compromise and when it's right to make a deal. we offered to come halfway in the sense that we offered to raise the debt ceiling. but there were times in the 19th century when people were asked to compromise over many things that were just plain wrong. so i think it's god to stand up for what you believe in and i had's good for america to balance the debt

. >> when paul first called me, i really wasn't interested. i actually said no. we had a good gig going. we were growing, we were making money, not a lot, but we were paying our bills. >> that's brian campbell, the founder of rivermen. the paul he's referring to is a former financial guy who spent his weekends as a river guide for class six. a few years ago, paul saw an opportunity to change his job, his lifestyle and become the ceo of a new or sort of new company. >> first thing i realized is that in this industry, they were very profitable at one time and because of overcapacity, price cutting, and a little bit of decline in revenue due to users, that they weren't nearly as profitable. and that to make this work i was going to have to do merge at least two, if not three together. >> and that's how the idea for the lansing west virginia-based adventures on the gorge was born. paul approached all three company owners, everyone involved sensed that the deal wouldn't be a simple one. >> i did see some challenges, because we were competitors for sure. and that relat

paul are those who generate excitement and it's pretty high. ron paul, while his followers are extraordinarily passionate about him, there's quite a few that view him with ferocious isolation to foreign policy. many of us heard him talk about letting iran develop nuclear weapons and as mike huckabee told us, that's his doom. governor perry has used or hopes to become somebody who is viewed as sort of capable of generating that excitement. and going up against president obama. >> of the frontrunners, how much access stroud governor romney's campaign in terms of interviews and his ability to interact with voters >> although i've been covering the pawlenty campaign and he has not agreed to an interview. and that's been probably been a smart strategy, as we all faux. he has been sort of absent with the not competing with iowa and has made very selective opinions on where things should be after the new hampshire debate in june, we had this extraordinary stage walk through diners and hardware stores with no access to the candidate. and that's what it

the ames straw poll so if we saw a popular with the public why is the mainstream media ignoring ron paul. if you post people are one or two paychecks away from losing now single and some people in california are even closer than that they're setting up camp on the sidewalk so with main street now out on the streets is the american dream fading away. plus the bus stops here president obama is rolling into midwestern towns but this tour comes with a lot of economic baggage like where all the jobs. and a mind of the gas income levels between the rich and poor are at an all time high in the u.s. so should we expect to see rioting in our own backyard or is it already here. it's tuesday august sixteenth eight pm in washington d.c. i'm christine frizz out there watching our team. well good evening i am fresh back from ames iowa where i covered last week's g.o.p. debate as well as the iowa straw poll to spend some quality time in middle america and also got a front row seat to some of the early campaigning that's going on for the republican primary to make some observations about what it looks l

a chance to watch a preliminary to last still there paul start. off. i yeah yeah yeah yeah that is actually really scary don't you think absolutely and in that same speech at a church she also talks about how she realized she wanted to married marcus bachmann her husband because she had a dream that god sent her and that god sent marcus the exact same dream on the exact same night i do not want this person leading my country she's full of fairy tales and creepy delusions i don't know it sounds to me like marcus bachmann maybe just has a way with words he said that they were out on a date he was trying to get in with her he was like well kidding i have that exact same dream to you and it might have just weren't part of. but the funny thing is that later on one of the candidates actually the candidate our favorite candidate we keep talking to him he went missing take a look at this are we actually missing a candidate on the stage. we are. going to be right back congresswoman bachmann there she is that's ok. ok. now since you are so in tune with michele b

people around me are chanting paul, paul, paul, and the stadium is packed. the aisles were lined with people in red ron paul shirts. very organized. i think rick santorum, i haven't seen as large a presence here. he could still surprise. i talked to congressman gretchen barrett this week and he said it's to finish in the top five. there are flnine candidates in e ballot so those expectations aren't very high if you do the math. >> let me take a quick piece of sound from rick santorum who was just on the stage a short time ago. >> this campaign is about skravping and clawing for every little bit of recognition we can get. i had to wave my hand and ask for recognition. this is the little engine that could campaign. >> yeah, i guess their question is does he have enough steam to keep going. you have to wonder whether a fifth place finish is enough to put some money in his coffers, which he desperately needs. >> yeah, a fifth place finish has never really propelled anyone to success in the iowa caucuses. if he does place fifth, he'll probably reconsider his fund
