The Col. wondered can Ron Paul and the Tea Party win a national election.

Hey Jack purely -- volley carjacker you don't.

Not too bad I don't think this thank -- And I didn't hit it too too much of -- Chad brought up. -- not calling it about the cheap -- and how everybody takes to be worried about it. NY. I mean nobody -- sidekick to be worried about it couldn't --

There weren't -- a minute to make it an act.

They got a good.

Because its regular citizens -- to cross says it crosses all you know ethnic lines because. People are people that people that I sort of identify themselves to the Tea Party now fit Barack. And they're making choices. Audited in on an individual basis but its collective in I think the Tea Party name as a good a good name capitalist because. What our founding father's stuff out of this nation. They all did it equal footing and -- get for what reason. What was best for this country. I think get all these people before they vote for anything in congress and you'd think they should be asking themselves what would opt for opposite dot NY.

Yes Jack I think at the -- comparison. I think the fourth slot a big board file has found this country out of reaction England to. And it wasn't just it wasn't just into the for freedom and -- but and the Tea Party. Is reacting to Toledo Obama won the call is called earlier I think they've got a good point and it is we the people.

It and it is clearly one sided -- as a as a very conservative movement nothing wrong with that.

I agree with dot to a certain extent but I mean -- the best. When that would need for what our forefathers did they are all rich they weren't all business owners and land autos and everything -- and the ironic hottest. Everybody that they identified with a cheap I think that is according to the Democrats Israel -- servers -- ultra conservative as this and Matt. I'm not finding out at all because I know a lot not. But help financially. I think that we should be about financial house in order get ignored I mean I'm Republican but I don't believe everything that they say these days because it just as guilty -- the Democrats to put us in this financial.

Oh are getting out and really the -- reject would've been -- Had this much power if Obama was not present.

If we really I think one of the -- what is this financial deficit which found ourselves -- we're gonna break. The right. No I don't I don't think it's a personal thing.

not a lot I was a -- I'm missing defeat.

I think if if if we had a fourteen trillion dollar deficit yes. I don't I honestly don't know that I don't think that the rich I don't think that the rich and I'm a Republican but I -- everything except I don't think that the rich should be immune. For help -- this country out because I can't. -- on the -- that's -- accept everything any editor Richard the most balloons back that they had a they had the opportunity to lose everything sort of which can I mean we should have tax cuts we should have major tax cut. But at the same time the top 23%. Should be paying a little bit more to help bring this effort got to get our country in --

I -- and if you do if we do you do that if you if you increase attacks on the top 20%.

It will got a trillion dollar budget we have to. Pay a fair tax cool. Maybe is a flat tax revenues but you can't have. In comparison Warren Buffett paying less taxes and his secretary.

And -- I mean and I -- that cannot GE can not have that a year in which they pay no taxes.

That's that's why anybody else well -- I don't think.

We -- get is going to be at parent that's why we the people Tea Party movement are getting sick of it from both sides because it's coming.

A lot of -- and we're making good way to elect a lot of people in congress. You stopped the president -- the president's tracks to Tea Party did. And you the center of attention and the Tea Party is his right now the political center of attention that's a big deal.

Why don't -- stock trading at vocal about because the Tea Party is made up -- people like leader apple works 67 yeah I was a week yeah we don't care about the politics and rallies and everything else. We want to do what's right I. Ain't cheap body members I'm gonna keep our map up but I talked to people like the -- your show the -- We were there can't a lot of these people they want like they want the financial policy and -- however about. They're not like if I gain eight or impact -- way -- know about every widget and everything else like that like the Republicans. You know it's -- abortionists and now. Keep on the topic people that I've talked to see it could be like in the middle of the road let's GAAP financial hospital but little outlets like they used to joke.

I I think that the push back his Tea Party in the survey -- talking about. I think -- is pushed back by by -- liberals. And by a progressives and I think it's a mischaracterization that that we talk about. Jack is that the survey said. The tea parties less popular atheists and Muslims I think that's crap and stupid hey Jack thanks you call -- and you passion I think and task at -- group which. The tax -- thing. So by increasing on the on the wealthy like how it's about make in this tax code fair and it may it may be. And smaller so I mean it was a -- pages but it may be a flat at a much you -- in my don't know enough about it maybe. I am talking helps with this but -- We've got to be able to do better than collecting less than 2% of taxes on the people this country I think -- 50% plus to pay taxes. -- and finally a great debt to Dave I would I would Qaeda at bay.

I and I -- Carolina glad hockey -- look -- when you're on Alex are. You -- I think glad you're feeling better. I'm on to talk about the -- and then a couple other things. You mentioned a little bit earlier on the show when there is a party buffer. They're that -- edit -- and then. Eat I'm in that same mistake happening right now. You know Michelle Bachmann. One Iowa caucus since she have a lot. In the intervene mainstream media's coverage. And she won that -- you know air against. Oh. And how how often do you see Ron Paul mentioned -- the main thing to me. They eat a lot and -- gonna be another state where people at -- what the people are saying. Brian hall is a major contender and -- independent candidate. And I was really happy each other historic -- that I don't know it -- not that He didn't use Google it and watch it because it's so true. --

I wonder why why is the news media and totally blacked out we -- our.

Denny's as somebody asked that them Tuesday. My answer that is because. That. Most of the press. Has deemed Ron Paul electable. As -- the Republican Party because.

The heat will say things like stop all foreign aid you know going to be -- street. That is -- right and try to giving answers to why do. But I. But when was close it -- wasn't by much but she did win. She and.

did a lot of -- media coverage through the Ron Paul has.

Of virtually zero and He came in a 150 to tiger.

Yeah I figured -- At 8 o'clock to -- on how -- acts I've I've interviewed.

Paul -- happened and I mean just a very hectic and very smart man is extreme that the wrong with that. And I think that's the answer I think that the press in Republican Party. You know operatives that said he's not electable much.

Anabolic extreme I think that what's happening in the country right now is extreme. And Iran -- on the right track and it I went to his well in Concord last night and He is getting more and more people who.

They took an all freaked -- eight people working for him that He doesn't have a a lot of money. People -- you -- huge volunteer corps.

And what He says eat eat you know even the most politicians and they they weren't -- one group and another into another group. Well it all -- that as good on music it is not forty years.

Intellectually announcement that. Intellectually.

Isn't -- man -- He -- He knows what he's talking about you know and neat note you know that in itself property is so well versed. In our history in our constitution. And in the in the financial in the foreign policy. You know at all without -- happen and it built into an answer. Pop but it says that this makes then.

I think Paul is then has been maligned I think He has been taken of that pushed into the backseat. I. What will seek I think we'll see Japanese and South Carolina get UBC and New Hampshire.

They can eat. Eight dumped or if I'm wrong.

What I am going to be forced to now to tells -- optional goggles to see it I love static still it's very smart. Bright funny yet and I'm out -- legal without Denny thanks you call. It -- thanks Google. That time we get through it okay Roland you're on the Dave on public are able.

The overall lead. In Poland and Roland. --

Roland mutt and try to get -- not read any of it. Again now Roland.

A bridge actual my -- argued they cannot opt Michelle shocked when their. You stand at the reason the wide at that media's covering her watch again so much coverage in the local media. Is because that media think she is not on the what the origin not like the -- told to go against illogical Ron Paul I mean it with that logic -- all over the media.

Now now -- wanna you wanna thank. I've bought and isn't that attractive woman and she's a bomb -- all the -- Up. Yet that I'm I don't. Panel sit and have a voice and a couple editorial meetings at fox. I don't get an incident. I'm just telling you Chris Matthews has put -- on the map that when He had a -- a year and half ago. And she talked about having a press investigate the matter congressman -- Americans as a -- And He gets things pretty wrong sometimes and she's attractive she has engaged in life story. All from a telegenic. And this is gonna. It is too much as a baseball but telegenic intelligently. Block -- easier to look at the poll that's another reason television goes there.

Right now I can -- there my my quite wish just that just I am glad that it repeat forwards a supporter Ron Paul on -- by the way did you know who. There is. The -- collecting at a presidential candidates the most donations from active duty military.

Who's. All I think did He do that before we.

I quite like twice as much at all the other candidate combined. That tell -- my kids if -- on unarmed military. Out.

He is not anti military he's anti foreign policy.

While it doesn't say he's being portrayed as good as they Coca Oreo and -- Not that how to act when it comes or object quite yet our military troops are standard they agree with him.

And a drag on for too long that they can participate but. Where a lot. Well if we're all gets up and says they say it's like stop all foreign aid you know he'd like --

Wyatt found extremist because you don't once they edit it make sense everybody else out there.

I mean we came in with somewhat percent of the victory are you kidding me that the huge.

Is it got out that He did He have to because the Bachmann.

And -- with a press chose to cover it.

What mattered was first Hewitt -- doubt that there are Bachmann compensate it. Within 1% of worse.

And he's gonna make as tall as strong backing people leaving him and some let's let's see New Hampshire and the C would have the South Carolina. As a Republican deal a close look who's taken a backseat. Newt Gingrich.

The only ask you don't lose. Heart you know what's funny is that -- there. They're trying to sit rob Pollack and electable but then you go look at are the guys at top tier candidate trying to sound like rob well. They talk the talk about the said He spotted in the pocket about. Even so remark startled look at the form our.

You'll everything okay with you. -- You -- it's getting better but I'm glad you could call -- sorry -- wait 45 minutes to. Edit it thank you look at all.

The eighth. Did -- on the only guy Greg Dan.

Yes I like giving you -- Obama 00. And I'll get -- mistake to -- that -- up.

But one thing -- from George.

are yet He was the LP candidate lieutenant partner -- Like on Albany the mainstream media attempts to shut oh wait they don't want here asks you ever heard much camp.

But it wanna take exception one. OK. The comparison beat out.

Call. It all. Worked out I don't okay what is.

It's it's an intentional exclusion. Because it means -- the political establishment. Do not want people it will prompt that. It is his past would destroy. What the political establishment and all well. We get the Republican George Bush the biggest spender up until -- Obama. Big government Republicans. Com and Ron Paul's message is just straight -- Is just straight out dangerous those people that the most state mismanagement and in politics today and the best way. Can make people think you know what apple did not mention it.

I did I I have a fertilized I think that's had some of that too as well today I think that but I was asked another reason. Provide television standpoint but okay. Conspiracy thing works to the public and I don't I -- with the Republicans don't want him. -- when he's on the stage He pushes people. Towards his point of view 'cause He is extreme and He is so intelligent and He does and he's intellectually honest I get all the but in the press has to the press. What doesn't have time. This is this is not a stupid thing to to cover eight separate candidates. On his tell all that I've talked to governor of Iowa. They discuss how did they discounted him we -- why because Perry shows up. Perry and and Palin showed up and Iowa attempts to depressed way as well but. Very showing up the day to day obligated for the caucus vote comes out. Squelch his took took all the air out of the room and bot will join one -- got the attention and that's not fair that's where it was.

You know all that when they posted the results. -- They admitted Ron -- Total for the first ten minutes.

I mean the all people know this they've got to figure are waiting to get. More attention. I agree with you it's not fair it's not right.

Paul's problem but that's the reality of the -- cable. And it even -- Carter and ABC CBS and NBC.

Well latency in NBC and CBS they have ill happen news that night and cultural historian -- marathon.

So what they do -- speed speed and stability. People but one thing that.

On our state form all of either all of -- out corrected warrant. On that form that warrant a is that you or people a year when rich which.

Yeah I think the argument I've heard your -- ultimately. -- three cents.

Don't be so naive as that they that this is an intentional. It's not just the ball well.

No no it's a factored in is not solely about looks right I mean it's I was suggesting.

Who's getting them out.

You're right out of debt Dan can't get I would not only being on the Dallas we'll be on the television. Check out --

These bank that if you did not want me even mentioning his name we get. If you're not gonna mention your name on how how we get involved how we met in -- we come back in two days they don't want.

I think is very difficult is -- a lot more money he's gonna need a -- at a serious committee both the people work and -- for all of volunteers which is great. But he's going to professional staff to do what you want to do.

And right now He doesn't have. It and that's not a.

that He wants an -- once -- out it's not yet at spread how do you raise money well. That's not the.

How much monies --

Military press if you can't find that means He means is -- and -- how old you know what now. How how discount all of -- while it is.

One does all the other hand -- just point to news. Without a professional staff PR campaign not campaign did a campaign manager to get to push.

You on the show -- old radio and television can be very difficult but Dan thank you call. It that they're very com. Strong believers and and I you can hear on -- He went if you -- to insurance have done a couple times now the day people that are around all our. Very enthusiastic. And again -- but from a national standpoint if He wants TV's gonna. Capitalize. On what happened and I we've -- his staff and national staff. And it. Joke you're on a date on -- joked.

No joke. Originally bonds are GO.

My brother's name was killed 68. Dawn on the tape on violent guard Don.

I'd like yeah yeah oh yeah it -- a couple of things came to keep party com there are basically agree. Three key party entity you have keep pretty patient. Which and the Tea Party express. Those are. The -- that actually politically back to indicate that you have Tea Party patriots. Which I am a member -- have been a member of since 2007. And we are an educational. Armed group we have chapters in the country I live capitol without on the cape. And on the we have. -- know why did you have a lot of following what we do -- we try to educate people on the constitution. And the founding fathers and those types of things we don't back candidates say and we are.

I know I don't let me dropped what why don't you back again.

Because we -- there are other entity that we. We encourage our members to two back web that they arch. And we encourage all kid needs to come. And talk to us and give give give it -- both Republicans and Democrats. Would say we've not yet very any Democrat come but we -- Democrats that have come. Does speak to our -- at a meeting bad but we encourage all candidates to come because if you don't know. You don't know and so. We we are the Tea Party patriots. Can't go into we have our way up program that goes. Into the schools and and teaches the constitution and about the constitution thought about it. And the Federalist papers at all that debt and our our entity at. We just had a movie night on. We watch the -- will be on agenda the grinding down of America it was very bombed.

John why why why your opinion -- Tea Party becomes a ball -- it passes a little collar if if McCain had been become president.

Do you think yet. I just anyways am gonna take a break adept on luck that I appreciate you calling and explain those differences and it's it's a it's a very powerful movement is not gonna go away. I'll be right back the date on hunker.
