Mark Straus with Todd Feinberg

We're gonna be joined now by one of the questioners. From I I guess not just that the Republican debate the other night but also the democratic youtube debate last summer. How one guy got to question both I don't understand but we will -- we will ask him that question here is the question of Mark Strauss ask during the debate. On Wednesday evening.

Mark Strauss Davenport, -- for Ron Paul -- I think we both know that the Republican Party is never going to get you denomination. But I'm hoping that you're crazy like a fox like that and you're using this exposure to propel yourself into an independent run. My question is for wrongful this -- are you going to let America down I'm not running as an independent thank you.

there's mark's question let's introduce Mark Strauss Mark welcome to WRKO. -- know -- how could you ask that question imminent.

Well you know like I've watched what rumbles he's done really well raising money he's got a lot of people excited out there but I happen to know that but a lot of people outsiders are not registered Republicans and the only way that you -- we get the Republican nomination. Is through the primaries and the vote in the primaries you gotta be registered Republican. I do not believe and I'm not going to affect us all -- after the debate decent or white it just goes to register as a Republican. Because I'm not a republic and I am not going to promote that anybody should go out and register of the Republican even temporarily to get help Republican Party get larger numbers and say that the larger states that they do and and -- that would new voters that the first time voting and they go register as a Republican and then that Republican Party -- hold on you know what our electoral.

Okay hold on eight pulled on sucked marks -- you are your Ron Paul supporter. And your purpose in asking the question was to try to get him tell we UC's being the truth you think it's crazy. Not to think that he's going to remain in the Republican --

Not -- I think it's crazy to think that if these days in the Republican realm. That he's going to be the Republican candidate.

And that's so you're you're not necessarily thinking that he's. By definition that Iran is an independent you're just asking him to do. Well okay and what is your -- what is your talent. That gets he gets you into both of these two debates

and I don't I -- agencies but I was persistent and night you know I had some things.

Persistent who what why how does the process where is it like buy a lottery ticket send in -- I want you got video

you you have descendant videos and they have to meet certain criteria as far as economic criteria have in the 32. And I and multiple multiple videos my video got a lot of response you know I think what I mean -- that -- some very very well that the controversial one and -- you know they -- the play the one that they that I got you know I've -- if you talk while viable you I during the entire process and vote vote vote. Of them and -- that happened that misquoted me effective I have never personally had contact with the other. I've used to and I got and a bike and I didn't get out the go to our last you know that I had a very compelling video. Said that they wanted to show and they noted as part of Beaumont -- videos in the democratic what I mean it just might might handicapped brother. Eating my mother's ability to severely stricken. From alzheimer's and they vocalist with may. And and I realized that you know about 50 years old what happens -- years from now when the baby that would -- they sent here to the -- at all I ask are what is going to do all that. That health services -- hour or at least treated well debated on the debate and they flew me down but it refused to use to let me any help Saturday morning I had.

No idea so you two back only does the collection of the people is are you think.

You would you do decisive themselves and they tell you we don't know if your videos it later because -- have nothing to do with the that there is enough what's gonna get off.

Well so if if but if if thousands of videos get it again entered how many people they fly down it would seem a remarkable coincidence for someone they fly down actually have their question news.

You know what I'd say there's a possibility. Offensive you know because they've walked around and they gave us the work of that I'd like on the CNN they told about how the process worked so what they do and and you know during that -- that's what we've learned that used to but it is no part of that process want your videos and concept. You know youtube can say hey look at you know what you're great -- super we -- you think they're -- 13 of us that.

So youtube flies 13 people down and at least to view. Had your questions put up their right where they're more I mean that's a remarkable coincidences -- if you know firewall.

I've you know what I don't think it is but it also you know as is but also -- the CNN they also get to decide if they're going to let somebody talk for respond to there. And and they you know just -- CNN described it does say that you know of these these debates that they -- they start taking on a life of their own. Say they don't have the -- this state -- and they told us they don't have a -- that they don't decide okay that was what I personnel on them that on the balance state if they have an answer but about a candidate answers something -- to -- but they go -- people they got a whole bunch of people -- about that I have done nothing -- study all of.

So you're saying they they juggle questions as they go based on the mood of the debate and what's certain -- seem to be --

I think they have they basic they got to basically out prior to. And then say that they could put things -- and problem as they web based on how the the vessel opened yet.

What do what Mark Ross is -- he's one of those CNN youtube debate questionnaires from both of the both of these debates is CNN's -- Democrat and the Republican one the other night. And how do you view -- the integrity of this process given the controversy that popped up last few days Mark.

Well -- you know I think I'm glad that you guys fault and I get an opportunity because I've been inundated with emails group -- you know videos. -- where people comment them and they play in the conspiracy and plus the back in saliva helping the boat the Albany during you know that god -- he that if there was no response yet but having both of what it's like art world. And so at any rate and I I had mentioned to them but hey I -- another video that I submitted. That it was a minute and 12 seconds long and they -- any milk they and that the question that it has to be under 30 seconds apiece to all of.

You not know that when you sentiment.

No I didn't. And so -- that any note that they send everybody when your -- law and I didn't even know that they have -- that said the yet and that's those emails that CNN -- debate so you know like that one got CNN Sunday that I want the it was used to that would say eight standard email and I think that's that particular video was on your very former governor Mitt --

Why are you so hostile to Mitt Romney -- read some stuff in in an article quoting your --

Well because you know luddite I I've run -- office Bible but here my family. One day ample on might street -- state trooper -- put myself but I applaud you help that level crowd of people they'll. And so I I came on and I don't know underneath their work for me -- Mark Fitzsimmons in the door. And it was a tip -- of the PayPal who have been a fighter or opened -- the doors but that was view. Well I think you know literally -- is that way the hand out -- you do that governor he's. And so and I I'd literally Alabama is an important the wire we -- And he's Lebanese before they attacked us but you'll remember the Twin Towers you know what that kind of started the -- And I just site that that's terrible private face was that that the Erica and the other and finally -- you know out of I've done but I'm -- goes way. Of art what would you do -- And I thought possible and that the effects of neighbors in the reasonable and I would yesterday that you -- but by of the -- it -- area discussion -- over. The UN the joke. -- what -- I got mad and I said oh I think it's over when you say it's over it but you know what get off my property now and I literally followed about.

All right so you're not inherently hostile submit because he's a Republican you're not biased.

No idea well you know I'm not biased against the -- like huckabee. But and of course like on all that you know what I I'd just. -- that might or. And that that some incredibly stupid thing -- about but as the UN but it actually does make me mad because you know what George Bush. You know yes good diplomat as ambassador to the view that these are the simple he constantly make demands of them rather than participating with the world he wants to rule the world and we don't need another. The fighter you know what we need we need a leader of the Pacific with the world -- and help America you know it does that but the.

All right that's a good comments -- provokes some people may be to jump in on board Roloson and talk with you Mark Strauss is series from Iowa. And he was a question -- Wednesday and also in the summer youtube debate Jerry in Natick -- your NW RKO.

I have a couple questions for Mark but they can speak directly to -- all right -- first of -- question -- did not declare your political affiliation probably did declare that you -- not a Republican. Not saying that -- independent -- Democrats so it's of that first part the second part is have you aboard -- a political get paid for either of the two parties.

Albert Paul and -- the -- the one of the videos that I that that that actually -- played last -- while the -- in the debate -- start out by Mark -- Davenport, -- not a Democrat or Republican I'm an American. And though it you know I don't even say that I'm an independent site I belong in no particular party whatsoever and no I've never worked on in campaign war or any parties -- That's about trouble they had both -- doubt I'll actually I don't know why you voted -- you voted in the -- an -- up on your business. I don't go to -- intent. No actually I Baigent here really says to help take America and -- that we got if you article I think we don't I hit parties. That that have all the control would have all the money and that didn't bank based on party lines not what's good for America okay well that's very nice I would say that I am an agreement with how far that does not necessarily be a police able to our goal that jury that you are are free no idea.

You -- guy -- part of that that market is some part in some plot to take over the debate the other night.

I don't think you can -- it should -- I would. Market just stop about a dilemma I would say 90% of just thought -- would guarantee you have -- democratic. Steady tend to be liberal good about it had political ideology he's what you have all the got back he really liked it okay he supports right now however I have never voted for a democratic president -- my life.

Okay well that narrows it down a bit 6172666860. -- in Arlington and good morning to you.

Mark I guess I'm confused because you'd get so confused want entered our -- Paul Evans enters your. -- she'll probably -- irk rack but then. But these are -- bush wanting to view went. -- went never published anything in the -- shouldn't demand could be if you went to take third the the budget. It'd just. To our foreign -- Appropriately here on the world why don't why you work are disappoints you when that I didn't.

the ball we shouldn't be paying that much I believe our our our involvement what you have -- if I think we need to participate in the UN participate with the world but you know what if there's the problem out there. And Britain want to throw a thousand guys and Germany want the -- thousand guys and etcetera etcetera that we don't know Morton a thousand guides we should not be paying more money than anybody else.

But argues that your business owner if you if you as you're the business papers circus -- Demands of the return -- but still that's what I -- it why should it. Let them that we -- that we shouldn't be paying that much. Well but the well I can't I didn't -- Eric but do you follow the pledge to.

Not all over the like not only are there not point watch -- support to. Because we need to have just like I we should be dealing fairly with the UN and -- that means also we should be paying fairly with the UN. We should be participating no more than anybody else eight the UN as a as does the site they've been in what my videos I've yet as a place for any nation no matter how small the place we're going to ask for or offer help. At the plate for world form work where leaders in government the dust problem. It's you know what that -- we need to win and dominate that and that bully them you know of them that are going to be -- we.

All right now Marco -- I'm the Marcia -- is -- six 7266 exceeds 60 David and hang them high.

I don't talk about that question glacier. Why should US troops be under the command of anyone but a US -- lot just like it about it or you know what actually looked -- have been. Just like I'd that -- minute ago if there was -- through you'll let -- listener involved. And we were giving no more men like it that we gave a thousand China gave a thousand propagate the thousands Germany gave a thousand. Then you know what either one of our people or somebody -- people whoever decided. The -- went on that then yeah. We would be a part of that coalition and salt and well take orders from them potluck I am sorry I asked about the album that everybody else but a couple thousand block Iraq.

David -- around. Thank you. Three US troops could be headed -- year UN everybody else trying to poke holes in my credibility as a somebody who who isn't. Part of a set up on the on the CNN debate. It sounds like Mark isn't part of a setup doesn't.

Not have a response separated -- don't always what I did for the call what some of those police -- artistic question -- US troops on the commando -- we support. Yeah -- export command. That's in violation of the very old and the constitution that the US troops that the take become public service so you then would say it's okay that. First the US troops to violate the constitution Italy -- the opposite the opposite state.

Well it ought to say is true but if I actually had my brother I'm tired of America going over and and the and fighting everybody else was battle. I would personally prefer that that's not have to happen.

Our market thank you for your time appreciate that I haven't chance talk -- and gain -- some understanding at least of one of the participants in the debate the other night.

That the by the way yeah yeah I mean if people really want to know I mean my web site is WWW dot my dash America adopt -- see my that's America about.

My dash America dot -- okay that about -- support that okay. I appreciate -- Mark Strauss was a questioner the other night several of the people who were placing questions have been linked to campaigns. And is it is not playing well for CNN. As being the unbiased professional journalistic driven. News organization that it pretends to be. We have Mark Strauss on in order to speak to that and I think what he's demonstrated. Is that while it's a little strange now it's beyond a little strange that he got to ask questions into debates when you know thousands of entries. And it's also a little strange that he got flown out there. And he says the people make -- decision to fly him in 13 12 others out there to be after debating case that wanted to basketball questioned him in person. That -- those were picked totally. With no connection and added to the decisions made about which -- were being shown that just doesn't wash him. I don't know how to put this together you 6172666860 this is 680 WRKO
