Bob Hedlund discusses Ron Paul

4322 we're just we're just waiting here. Bob you can you can speak to a few moments until are scheduled guest right he'd grown ticket he's known has moved to 530 OT Boone has been moved to 530. Yeah -- recognized that. He's gotten stuck over there and he's on until they said they said T -- can hang around to greet everyone because he has another engagement yet evidently you're. But I've now I've been now had been smiled at them tonight and we'll not we just come back they'll find as many adoring fans have detained him over and we wanna -- -- -- all of them would sticker bigger. T. Boone Pickens -- had me. I can talk about energy policy. So what is it. I gotta check oil and and what crank case the what is the price of gasoline today in -- law but citizens at T Boone says that this fall and hit four bucks a gallon. That's that's that's real bad news for that's not from a -- that knows. Was but you we know the mainstream vehicles on -- the -- it's all the fault -- that honorable heroic. Yeah right I just because it's nice to explore the fire at the refinery in California -- where there's switching over to the winter Ford vehicles that we get a million excuses when -- of them went -- it normally when you know prices like happened to me that the increased. A tourist season. Yes exactly exactly so it you know the fact is we can't built -- recent country that's that's part. Right anyway right I won't I won't I won't I won't lift all the information I just got always T -- now honestly I was you know that's what I want that's what I want to say you -- build refineries anymore they won't let -- rolling along publicly I mean what is the great -- it. Hypocrisy of Barack Obama. We're getting more -- warn act. Oil on the ground than ever before. It's just that none of it comes off of public -- as you see the summary. He talked about the -- These biofuels mixed with gasoline now at the in a while ago he talked about the fact in the Susan trustees said that we we would -- capacity we have war. Natural gas. Reserves. Saudi Arabia three times as much. He -- I don't know like some politician doesn't want to give a press conference and talked about back. We have more energy than it's been Saudi Arabia to this because particularly the straitjacket. -- will you utilize your Obama wants to hear the truth. What I want I wanna admit this you know -- of -- was -- -- -- -- the case X numbers though -- like you just too much. -- you know I would like to see -- a lot of excuses in the numbers tomorrow night number one. One dollar and eighty nine's. The price of a gallon gasoline on this date George Bush that's right now let's just round that -- four bucks. Well I think -- people have suggested that that that line attack in I don't know why not utilize. This saving one. I wouldn't. You know. The price of gasoline is one of those things that's as. You know every it affects everybody everybody. As a that's as we -- as we both senators when it doesn't hurt the driver's license or you have -- how right. You know one of the -- points about the and inflation on on gasoline and foodstuffs and other commodities is that devaluation of our dollar that's a big contributing factor to. It's nothing yet talked about yet I have I have a hunch we might hear a little bit about that tonight from Rand Paul at about 7:30 PM. We've been dealing with the Ron Paul people who break the couple the couple that a little bit over the top. That everything's a conspiracy but most of them are huge takes -- look around that room last night. The infusion of of energy from the Ron Paul people significant. In mind that walked out last night and that means that -- -- not only walked out there were angry you know neither -- -- were angry -- -- should be a very angry at it -- yet when they should be -- -- -- not know attack what they're not angry admit they're not they're really they're really talk you talk to these people. Of course of the week than not they're angry at the RNC for some of the rules manipulation that have occurred has been at that that's worse than anything I see in the state senate at times. You know so. On that point eight there there that are reasonably regular four years ago you had a competing convention across the across the room. -- -- Ron Paul rally for the republic. You had that presence down here this year but the difference this year is. There is common enemies. And and and the focus is on significant change -- Barack Obama the energy level four years ago. Was at the Ron Paul rally and it wasn't in the RNC convention this year is energy on both sides and and those people actually know -- fitting in. The framework of the party for the most part and they bring in a renewed sense of energy focused. And whether you like it -- not because you've been beaten up on Ron Paul all for the last year as the means that as the main delegates were telling me last night and into Australia work and you and I've had this discussion probably three times both on air and off him but the fact is. -- bring in energy and and Ron Paul has had an impact. On the platform and on the focus in on the debate you got Mitt Romney sweeten a great is that is that -- defense legislation passed the house. Mean that shows you that he's had an impact on on the discussion. 18774694322. Last year that the the crying and it's it's amazing isn't it that the primaries are coming up in Massachusetts and that nothing I mean it is nothing I mean it -- I mean they could they could be doing that it midnight on Christmas Eve and -- and that it would be getting more that just goes down. By Democrat controlled legislature in Massachusetts but primary you know what it was the Republicans doing that they would say this is voter suppression because nobody's gonna turn out. This is. Is that nobody even the liberal bloggers are saying nobody's gonna turn for the rest in case for the record votes in the don't have the voters that -- -- -- it. Discovered this there was going to be at this point. The state Massachusetts. Next Thursday. X Thursday. The -- that the that might that might that Barack Obama delivers his speech than the day the day after the at the start of the NFL football season. And I Agee who won't everything's gonna do better Elizabeth -- primetime network giants -- place. The only people watch and Elizabeth Warren thing you're gonna be. The moon bats from Cambridge that don't like what well. You know I I forgot we did this change my mother said to me -- primaries up to third Tuesday in September. I had forgotten that we've moved it up -- might get my daughter says they choose to make sure she was gonna get an absentee vote for a move with the Austin you know we go to school. Should mega church was getting apps people for for November she said that. All while I was on a town hall I voted in the primary. -- -- -- I'd forgotten that myself -- one good thing though it pre registration of teenagers. We did. Halt that bill from getting through believe that the house passed that we held an open senate. So that's one good thing but you know this Iranians we we we do this manipulation if you remember you know with the Kennedy. Changes that we did when Ted Kennedy has rightly with a special election which Larry's thing led to Scott Brown exactly -- -- -- we just keep tinker with things and in. The continual uncertainties changes it drives down -- -- It really does and now I know they have the Jewish holidays but there again and again and what it's been done three times and it's been done quite like him I personally Q numbers ever known company you pump and at that closely I think -- a real problem. Anyway let's think a couple of calls -- we have some Paulson. We're here at the Republican Convention. 1877469432218774694322. It's we're just waiting for our guest who was against the start throwing out what's wrong. On all looks like you got an email. Ron Paul's supporters story very small factor here right disagree -- they. Well you know the thing is the book here here's the thing. Anyone wants to write about this center at the Republican Convention like the New York Times for instance. This gives some awful to -- to cure. And and and I that we thought the one of those guys from Oklahoma lastly. Here. So -- so in your paper today I thought that was some very reasonable comments. Joseph -- -- heat from Ron Paul supporters in our delegation. Reasonable comments you know hate when guys said that that the daily mass delegations made me feel very welcome others had a differing opinion that's fine. You know I find it ironic -- -- and my my good friend bill. Yes welcomed me wouldn't. Hug and said is the other libertarian here besides me blob -- -- think that he into an amber -- to. Record what actually copy of when that might iMac without the -- you actually had a very yellowish you. -- -- -- -- brown waters please -- knows it was looked like kind of like Helen one. -- he looks great. It doesn't look like easy today in the last ten years so it and one in the net. You know it's a little irony when it is one of the Ron Paul people said to me you know. I've contributed to every Republican officeholders in my company held signs for Republicans. And so I'm supporting a Republican. Candidate for president. And I'm an outcast here and bill -- hailed as a hero and he endorsed Barack Obama -- We need it I agree with there's a little bit of irony that you buddy to fill in. Colonel in all I gotta remind everyone he he supported and voted for Barack Obama. An anti Israel and you treat them like in a row which is on the military side is political judgment might yup he just in case. -- guys and these guys are out in. That grassroots and Republican probably working for a Republican congressman. Who has been the champion in the being got to fight for freedom Russell rip restoration of constitutional principles while certainly is and also left the the party itself did when he didn't -- on the state of the Republican Party and worked with him but he Hugh Grant is that he ran as a libertarian once in 1988 again. That is -- point -- well 187746. Were three to two men got to single him out. Mr. acts your next with how we cards and -- -- I was like is my cousins. Missed that I used that alias. Mr. never hear from mr. Z your life. Go ahead mr. -- -- It's a good thing bringing -- point out -- the I think gasoline. Along with the price of food to all of the things that I don't hear repeated which we need. That's the myself home heating oil it was that would push up that is now. Point that is a real I mean I'm sure it's the same it's this it's the same dynamic which probably double like gasoline. Right. At least the power. Our gallant -- -- -- does that hit home when it. Now that's that that's a real good point the other the other -- -- and that really part -- how he's gonna save that question for Iran not to T. Boone Pickens with a -- for oil. Support the talk of the T. Boone Pickens I think it purely put across that -- he -- You'll -- he speaks in the short the right sentence that you can put it across puts it in layman's terms right but -- -- but he's incredibly intelligent and he's got. Hey the guys 84 he's been doing this since he was a teenager put that in perspective. Pay hourly and Bob -- -- I agree with your your weight here on the very of oil it's great again it shows that when Obama that he isn't gonna raise taxes. On anybody making over what American over two -- 50000. He has -- in this attack in the cost of living on everybody and people were retired our -- below. -- disruption of our dollar is the most regressive tax of all. Well first thing he did you say we got in office would you raise the tax on cigarettes. And he says and you know that that disproportionately hits a lower income people these days it's not like in the old days when everybody -- the -- Nowadays it mostly lower income people and that was the that was the first thing he did and he said he was raised taxes on anybody making under 250. Got -- Ron Paul I get a Ron Paul -- -- likes to likes to do little demonstration tells me price of gas hasn't gone up. Since 1930. Dollars in trauma if you took if you took a a silver quarter 1938 so quarter. In 1938 what you're gallon gas today that same quarter by -- gallon gas because of the so the content. -- -- -- of live about five silver quarters and my -- deposit box from when I was little kids that point you know the point is that. You know the commodities in the in the price of silver and other commodities as it's really stayed the same while we've shrunk the valley with a -- by inflating the money supply. Right and I like -- what is we're gonna do what would like politics using quantities and wanted to be easy. Or there how much more quantity can can we absorb the market -- -- that the head is looking at work wanted to be easy in the in the stock market goes up 200 points and -- you put up twenty points but it's a quick it's a quick sugar high. And quickly just so. Jack your -- with how -- cars and senator Bob when go ahead Jack. I Republican for forty years. Didn't want a supporter now because we're trying to get the Republican Party to applause forty years ago. Community. Global community this problem. Opposite of the situation is -- time. Well its response states up to endorse. -- -- -- I've been an ethnic Tibetans are just they -- it to eight. The end of this committee meeting today. We're going to depend. Jack I I agree with you. But it isn't very clear and present danger that we should be worried about rather than so. Yeah little lost in what way does want it will. Go to the don't you think Barack Obama is a more significant threat to your freedom that these -- -- -- -- exhibited sort of like a civil. Each one person songs suitable for a less involved now and go to the aspect that how he. The worst thing we should be doing as a party right now. And I'm not gonna say the easy answers to drive Ron Paul people I'm not saying that the worst thing we should be doing regardless of -- Ron Paul anyone else. Is manipulating the rules in making these conventions even more useless and they are ER they are an interest -- why hold an election. If we're gonna rigged the system from front to start. And make it coronation. And make it big nothing but -- media then it makes no sense I mean who. I had it and I won't name the name but it as an elected official at the at this week. Who's as mainstream Republican Yankee kind of Republican guy if you will find. And he said to meet this is crazy -- even confiscate signs could imagine a political convention we can't bring assign. He can't yell for someone that you like -- it all the tollway signs. Yes that's a neat this is so orchestrated and I'm I'm medium not the one to be seen the emperor's new clothes well they're placed this. But you know what. Why even hold an election at this point within the primary process if this is the way to the direction we're gonna go -- we keep doing more more of it would just control. And it -- it -- that's not even whether or not it's about Ron Paul and I. We give them. You know argument. When the -- Ends justifies the means and come on come on believe that your next with how we card so or Melinda. I have come. I'm from the main side. And the people up here. There was one lawyer would convention. And got yeah and he thought the woman with -- name -- on it went after it says is that if you. She could be upbeat that you don't look anything like my life. They -- all the people pretend you know and they may install. It's. Wednesday Mullen who was today. People. And that's the main thing I don't even I can't even. You take an entire show what's going on -- -- like it's it's it's just kind of a little bit. Messed up against -- politely say yeah I know I know the governor's not the -- -- down here was to -- I cited in the well it all started it all started when they shut down one caucus that they expected the Ron Paul people to carry because of inclement weather. It was a dusting of snow. And right right and they -- twenty delegates after that it just. Something's not right up the I don't know what it is not qualified to say who's right who's wrong it's just a mess yeah. So what -- what do you think more and are you glad they're -- what do you do you have any feelings about these rules changes or do you just are you do you care. -- and Linda's gone. All right 18774694322. I want you to go and find Boone Pickens today and where is. We doesn't have to come back immediately Italian grill and he's a drill and that he's out flat and and a it's tire implant them around. I'm actually here he talked a lot about the -- stuff and meetings we held in Pennsylvania. -- locals and pretty and not like -- played for the talking to my -- -- like that -- like the American stuff I think it's a real it's it's there it's a real -- Achilles heal up Rocco. You know what I observed how you know the media how they work. Yeah -- the cliches they look for right. This little funny hats this year it is like one guy with a funny -- this year and in. I've seen him on TV about fifty times so I'm gonna get on TV tonight but going out and find the funny hat to Wear the -- -- -- on just what doctors don't. Fear of what happened that -- you know there's even in the answer is no -- here. I went to an event I went into literally went to an event last night. And they were given away bags -- and had a stuffed elephant. And it's not be nice to bring home to my kids. And they should be an elected official and suggest me made me sign disclosure. It basically the disclosure was I was identifying myself as an elected officials so they couldn't give me the bag. I hit the go. Over I went over to the war and get -- at 3 o'clock three teacher my kids. They've frequently been in the rest it's a campaign can't right right yeah on this island -- -- -- that's a campaign contribution OK anyway thanks Bob not like how I got an attempt a free magnate my one of the draft them like they're calling that a failure on the other you can't have that.
