| 00:00:00 | HOST: ERIC, GO AHEAD. |
| 00:00:05 | CALLER: CONGRESS BEMEN, I WOULD SAY YOU'RE A HERO. |
| 00:00:15 | I WOULD LIKE YOUR OPINION ABOUT WHAT IS GOING ON RIGHT NOW WITH ISRAEL AND PALESTINE. |
| 00:00:26 | POSSIBLE ACTIONS AGAINST IRAN AND MAY BE PULLING US IN. |
| 00:00:34 | GUEST: THAT HAS BEEN A MESS FOR A LONG TIME AND WE SHOULD NOT TAKE SIDES. |
| 00:00:42 | IT WOULD BE BEST FOR THAT REGION. |
| 00:00:46 | I DON'T BELIEVE IN GETTING INVOLVED. |
| 00:00:50 | HAS BEEN CREATED BY TO MANY OUTSIDERS INTERFERING. |
| 00:00:57 | THIS GAZA THIGNG -- THAT DOESN'T MAKE A LOT OF SENSE. |
| 00:01:06 | WHAT THREAT ARE THE PALESTINIANS? |
| 00:01:10 | THEY ARE LIVING IN TOTAL POVERTY. |
| 00:01:15 | SURE, THERE ARE GOING TO BE MILITANTS. |
| 00:01:19 | WHAT IS THE REASON? |
| 00:01:23 | THEY HAVE BEEN HELD IN BONDAGE FOR DECADES. |
| 00:01:28 | I THINK WE SHOULD NOT BE INVOLVED. |
| 00:01:34 | EVENTUALLY IS REAL AND NOT BE ABLE TO DEPEND ON THE UNITED STATES -- EVENTUALLY ISRAEL WILL NOT BE ABLE TO DEPEND ON THE UNITED STATES. |
| 00:01:48 | IT MAKES NO SENSE TO DO THAT. |
| 00:01:52 | THAT IS WHAT THEY ARE ANXIOUS FOR US TO DO. |
| 00:01:57 | WHAT HAPPENS WHEN WE GO BROKE AND WHEN IT IS ACKNOWLEDGED AND WE CANNOT AFFORD TO FEED OURSELVES? |
| 00:02:09 | OUR MILITARY IS GOING TO GO HOME. |
| 00:02:12 | WE WILL NOT BE THERE TO TAKE CARE OF ISRAEL. |
| 00:02:17 | ALL THE PEOPLE WE HAVE OFFENDED AROUND THE WORLD, THEY ARE GOING TO GANG UP ON US AND IT WILL NOT BE GOOD FOR ISRAEL BECAUSE WE WILL NOT BE CAPABLE OF PROVIDING PROTECTION. |
| 00:02:37 | HOST: THIS IS THE FRONT PAGE OF "THE PITTSBURGH POST-GAZETTE. |
| 00:02:44 | " RON JOINS US FROM NEW HAMPSHIRE. |
| 00:02:48 | CALLER: GOOD MORNING. |
| 00:02:51 | I AM HONORED TO SPEAK WITH YOU THIS MORNING. |
| 00:02:57 | LIBBY, YOU LOOK BEAUTIFUL AS ALWAYS. |
| 00:03:01 | I HAVE TWO COMMENTS AND I'LL START WITH BENGHAZI. |
| 00:03:09 | IT SEEMS THE REPUBLICANS ARE LOOKING FOR ANY REASON TO BE SMIRCH -- BESMIRCH THIS ADMINISTRATION. |
| 00:03:21 | FUNDING FOR THE AND DECEASED WAS, CUT. |
| 00:03:27 | MAYBE OUR PEOPLE WOULD STILL BE ALIVE TODAY. |
| 00:03:33 | MAYBE THEY SHOULD LOOK IN THE MIRROR IF THEY ARE LOOKING FOR SOMEONE TO BLAME. |
| 00:03:41 | AS FAR AS THE FISCAL CLIFF -- THE REPUBLICANS HAVE NOT BEEN WORKING WITH THE PRESIDENT, ALONG WITH THE CORRUPTION, POLITICAL AND CORPORATE CORRUPTION ALMOST BROUGHT OUR ECONOMY TO ITS KNEES. |
| 00:04:03 | THEY DID AWAY WITH INSIDER TRADING FOR THE POLITICIANS A YOUREAR AGO. |
| 00:04:13 | NOBODY IN THE REAL WORLD IS ABLE TO GET INSIDE INFORMATION ABOUT STOCKS. |
| 00:04:22 | POLITICIANS HAVE THAT ABILITY. |
| 00:04:25 | IT IS CORRUPTION AND THAT NEEDS TO BE CLEARED UP. |
| 00:04:32 | HOST: LET'S GET A RESPONSE. |
| 00:04:35 | GUEST: I AM MORE BIPARTISAN THAN YOU ARE. |
| 00:04:42 | DEMOCRATS ARE EXEMPT. |
| 00:04:46 | I SEE AS LIVING WITH A ONE-PARTY SYSTEM. |
| 00:04:51 | WHICH CANDIDATE WAS THE GOLDMAN SACHS CANDIDATE? |
| 00:04:56 | THEY BOTH SUPPORT THE SAME FOREIGN POLICY AND GET MONEY FROM WALL STREET. |
| 00:05:04 | WE SHOULDN'T HAVE SUPPORTED THE REBELS IN BENGHAZI. |
| 00:05:10 | WE IGNORED ALL THE WARNINGS. |
| 00:05:14 | WE NEVER CUT ANYTHING. |
| 00:05:17 | WE SHOULD HAVE RECOGNIZED THE DANGER. |
| 00:05:23 | OTHER COUNTRIES KNEW IT WAS DANGEROUS. |
| 00:05:27 | TO BLAME REPUBLICANS OR DEMOCRATS, I DON'T THINK THAT IS AS ACCURATE AS SAYING WHETHER IT WAS SUSPENDING POLICY OR THE WELFARE SYSTEM, IT IS BIPARTISAN. |
| 00:05:44 | WE HAVE HAD TOO MUCH COMPROMISING IN WASHINGTON BECAUSE THEY SUPPORT THE SAME ISSUES. |
| 00:05:52 | THEY DO NOT SUPPORT THE PEOPLE THAT PASSED OUT THE MONEY. |
| 00:05:58 | POLICIES NEVER CHANGE. |
| 00:06:02 | I THINK THE RHETORIC IS DIFFERENCE. |
| 00:06:06 | OBAMA HAD A MORE SENSIBLE FOREIGN POLICY APPROACH IN THIS LAST ELECTION. |
| 00:06:13 | ROMNEY WANTED TO INCREASE THE MILITARY BUDGET BY $2 TRILLION. |
| 00:06:23 | THE POLICIES ARE EXACTLY THE SAME. |
| 00:06:27 | I WOULD BE A BIPARTISAN IN BLAMING BOTH SIDES FOR THIS. |
| 00:06:34 | THE FISCAL CLIFF IS THE SAME PROBLEM. |
| 00:06:38 | LOOK AT WHAT THE CONSERVATIVES DO WHEN THE REPUBLICANS ARE IN CHARGE. |
| 00:06:45 | THE SPENDING CONTINUES. |
| 00:06:50 | THE FEDERAL RESERVE KEEPS ON BAILING OUT THE RICH. |
| 00:06:56 | REPUBLICANS DEFENDED THE RICH. |
| 00:07:01 | THEY BOTH DEFEND WELFARE FOR THE RICH. |
| 00:07:06 | THEY BAILOUT THE VERY WEALTHY AND THE BANKERS IN THIS CRISIS. |
| 00:07:13 | BUT THE PEOPLE LOST JOBS AND THEY LOST THEIR HOUSES. |
| 00:07:19 | IF WE CAN BLAME THE DEMOCRATS OR THE REPUBLICANS FOR THE PROBLEMS, WE ARE NOT GOING TO SOLVE THE MAJOR CRISES WE ARE INVOLVED IN. |
| 00:07:31 | HOST: WE HAVE A QUESTION ON TWITTER. |
| 00:07:35 | GUEST: NO, I DON'T. |
| 00:07:41 | REPUBLICANS AND DEMOCRATS ARE IN CHARGE. |
| 00:07:45 | THEY HAVE CONTROL OF THE SYSTEM. |
| 00:07:49 | WE SEND KIDS TO AFGHANISTAN AND IRAQ. |
| 00:07:55 | WE DO NOT HAVE REAL FREEDOM HERE. |
| 00:08:00 | IF I HAD NOT RUN AS A REPUBLICAN, I WOULD NOT HAVE BEEN IN THE DEBATES. |
| 00:08:08 | I WOULD NOT HAVE BEEN ABLE TO GET ANY COVERAGE. |
| 00:08:13 | YOU CANNOT GET ON THE BALLOTS BECAUSE OF THE SYSTEM. |
| 00:08:20 | IT IS IMPORTANT THEY DO THEIR BEST TO EXPRESS THEMSELVES AND SHOW HOW THEY COME UP SHORT IN HOW THE SYSTEM WORKS. |
| 00:08:32 | IT IS IMPOSSIBLE TO COMPETE UNDER THE RULES TODAY. |
| 00:08:36 | WE CAN DO IT IF YOU HAVE CORRECT IDEAS. |
| 00:08:44 | THE PREVAILING ECONOMIC THEORY OF THE LAST 60 OR 70 YEARS AND NIXON MADE A CLASSIC STATEMENT. |
| 00:08:55 | THE DEMOCRATIC AND REPUBLICAN PARTY BELIEVE IN THE ECONOMICS. |
| 00:09:03 | THOSE IDEAS HAVE TO INFILTRATE THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY AS WELL AS THE REPUBLICAN PARTY. |
| 00:09:12 | TO EXPECT THE LIBERTARIAN PARTY TO BECOME A MAJOR PARTY, THE ONLY ALTERNATIVE WE HAVE NOW IS TO TRY TO CHANGE PEOPLE'S MINDS AND CHANGE PEOPLE'S UNDERSTANDING IS ECONOMICS AND TRY TO INFILTRATE THE SYSTEM SO WE CAN INFLUENCE BOTH PARTIES. |
| 00:09:39 | HOST: JOHN IS IN FLORIDA. |
| 00:09:43 | CALLER: GOOD MORNING, SIR. |
| 00:09:49 | IF THE BENGHAZI SITUATION WAS A DEMONSTRATION, WE SAW NO SIGNS OF "DEATH TO AMERICA" OR "DEATH TO ISRAEL. |
| 00:10:06 | " ONE QUESTION ABOUT THE FISCAL CLIFF. |
| 00:10:11 | WHY DOES NO ONE EVER SAY PAY THE PAYROLL TAX CUT TO? |
| 00:10:21 | GUEST: THOSE ARE GOOD QUESTIONS. |
| 00:10:24 | I DO NOT HAVE THE ANSWERS, ESPECIALLY IN BENGHAZI. |
| 00:10:31 | WE SET OURSELVES UP FOR THESE PROBLEMS. |
| 00:10:37 | SHOULD NOT BE DOING THESE THINGS. |
| 00:10:42 | THE INVESTIGATION SHOULD BE LOOKING AT THAT. |
| 00:10:46 | SOLVING THESE PROBLEMS IS LIKE RAISING MORE TAXES AND MOVING UP THE LADDER. |
| 00:10:55 | SPENDING IS THE TAX. |
| 00:10:59 | THE TAX IS A SECONDARY. |
| 00:11:03 | THEY HAVE TO TAX US OR THEY WILL BORROW THE MONEY, WHICH IS A TAX. |
| 00:11:14 | OR YOU PRINT THE MONEY AND YOU HAVE FINANCIAL BAUBLES AND CRASHES. |
| 00:11:20 | SPENDING IS THE PROBLEM -- YOU HAVE FINANCIAL BAUBLES AND CRASHESUBBLES AND CRASHES. |
| 00:11:41 | ANY SAFETY NET FOR THE RICH AND IF YOU BELIEVE YOU CAN POLICE THE WORLD, NONE OF THESE PROBLEMS CAN BE SOLVED. |
| 00:11:54 | NEED RESTRAINT ON THE GOVERNMENT -- YOU NEED RESTRAINT ON THE GOVERNMENT. |
| 00:12:04 | PEOPLE SHOULD TAKE THE OATH OF OFFICE SERIOUSLY. |
| 00:12:13 | "YOU MEAN EVERYTHING GOES BACK TO THE STATES AND THE PEOPLE? |
| 00:12:19 | " THAT WOULD SOLVE THE PROBLEM. |
| 00:12:23 | NOBODY IS INTERESTED IN THAT. |
| 00:12:27 | ALL THESE THINGS THAT ARE PRETENDING TO SOAK THE RICH. |
| 00:12:36 | THEY WILL GO OFFSHORE. |
| 00:12:40 | WE HAVE 47 MILLION PEOPLE ON FOOD STAMPS. |
| 00:12:45 | THE GOVERNMENT SAYS WE ARE COMING OUT OF THE RECESSION. |
| 00:12:51 | YOU CANNOT DO MORE OF THE SAME. |
| 00:12:57 | THAT IS ALL THEY ARE DOING. |
| 00:13:00 | WE'RE DRIVING OURSELVES INTO A DEEPER HOLE. |
| 00:13:07 | HOST: RON PAUL IS ROUNDING OUT HIS 12TH TERM AND RETIRING. |
| 00:13:16 | HE RAN FOR PRESIDENT THIS PAST YEAR IN THE REPUBLICAN FIELD. |
| 00:13:25 | ALSO IT LIBERTARIAN CANDIDATE BACK IN 1988. |
| 00:13:30 | WAS IT U. |
| 00:13:31 | S. HOUSE MEMBER FOR A COUPLE OF DIFFERENT TIME PERIODS. |
| 00:13:42 | WE DUG INTO THE C-SPAN ARCHIVES TO FIND SOME FOOTAGE TALKING ABOUT SOME ISSUES YOU'RE STILL PASSIONATE ABOUT. |
| 00:13:53 | THIS IS FROM 1983. |
| 00:13:59 | >> THERE HAVE BEEN STATEMENTS CONCERNING THE NEED TO TIGHTEN SECURITY TO PROTECT U. |
| 00:14:07 | S. DIPLOMATIC PERSONNEL. |
| 00:14:09 | NO ONE HAS SUGGESTED AND OBVIOUS -- WE SHOULD WITHDRAW OUR PERSONNEL FROM VOLATILE AREAS OF THE WORLD. |
| 00:14:20 | I'M NOT SUGGESTING THE BREAKING OF DIPLOMATIC -- WE SHOULD AT LEAST BE TAKING STEPS TO REDUCE THE SCOPE OF THEIR FUNCTIONS. |
| 00:14:31 | THIS ERROR OF INSTANTANEOUS COMMUNICATION -- THIS ERA HAS CHANGED. |
| 00:14:42 | WHEN COMMUNICATION WAS SLOW, THE U. |
| 00:14:46 | S. AMBASSADOR MADE POLICY DECISIONS WITHOUT CONSULTATION WITH WASHINGTON. |
| 00:14:55 | AMBASSADORS CARRY OUT POLICY DECISIONS THAT ARE MADE AT FOGGY BOTTOM. |
| 00:15:00 | WE MUST END THE PRACTICE OF STATIONING INTELLIGENCE AGENCIES AT OUR EMBASSIES. |
| 00:15:13 | THESE AGENTS SERVE NO FUNCTION WHATSOEVER. |
| 00:15:18 | HOST: THAT IS OUR GUEST BACK IN 1983. |
| 00:15:22 | WE FOUND THAT IN THE C-SPAN VIDEO LIBRARY. |
| 00:15:26 | GUEST: I AM AMAZED. |
| 00:15:31 | I DID NOT REMEMBER THAT PARTICULAR SPEECH. |
| 00:15:34 | MORE THINGS CHANGE, THE MORE THEY STAY THE SAME. |
| 00:15:40 | COULD APPLY TO LIBYA RIGHT NOW. |
| 00:15:44 | WHY STAY THERE? |
| 00:15:47 | WHY GET INVOVLLVED? |
| 00:15:54 | BUT THE IN SOME OF THE ADVICE. |
| 00:15:58 | MOST PEOPLE HONOR THE FOUNDERS AS BEING SMART INDIVIDUALS. |
| 00:16:04 | THEY SAY IT BE FRIENDS WITH ALL NATIONS AND HAVE TRADE WITH PEOPLE AND BE MORE TOLERANT OF THEIR PROBLEMS. |
| 00:16:16 | WE WOULD HAVE A BETTER WORLD WIDE SITUATION WITH MORE PROSPERITY AND PEACE. |
| 00:16:24 | I THINK IT IS A GREAT IDEA. |
| 00:16:28 | IT WOULD HAVE HAD LESS PROBLEMS THROUGHOUT THE 20TH CENTURY. |
| 00:16:34 | LOOK AT THE HUNDREDS OF MILLIONS OF PEOPLE THAT DIED IN ALL OF THE WARS THAT ONE ON. |
| 00:16:42 | WE HAVE ACCEPTED THE NOTION WE WILL HAVE PERPETUAL WAR. |
| 00:16:49 | WE DECLARE WHOEVER IS RUNNING THE WAR THAT WE CAN DROP A BOMB. |
| 00:16:55 | WE HAVE KILLED LISTS AND DRONE WARFARE. |
| 00:17:07 | THIS IS TRAGIC. |
| 00:17:11 | THE AMERICAN PEOPLE HAVE TO WAKE UP AND SAY ENOUGH IS ENOUGH. |
| 00:17:19 | WE BETTER SIT DOWN AND SAY A GOOD STARTING POINT IS TO LOOK AT OUR CONSTITUTION. |
| 00:17:29 | HOST: HI, DEVON. |
| 00:17:31 | CALLER: GOOD MORNING. |
| 00:17:35 | THANK YOU FOR SERVING THIS COUNTRY. |
| 00:17:39 | WHERE DO YOU THINK THIS COUNTRY WILL BE IN ABOUT 10 YEARS? |
| 00:17:45 | DO YOU PLAN ON RUNNING IN 2016? |
| 00:17:52 | GUEST: I DON'T HAVE ANY PLANS IN 2016. |
| 00:17:58 | I'M PRETTY OPTIMISTIC THAT THINGS WILL BE A LOT BETTER. |
| 00:18:03 | WE HAVE TO GO THROUGH THE RIGOR FIRST. |
| 00:18:07 | I DO WITH THE ROLE OF GOVERNMENT AND SELF RELIANCE AND RESPONSIBILITY. |
| 00:18:15 | I HAVE BEEN ENCOURAGED THAT THE RECEPTION KEPT GROWING AND GROWING ON THE UNIVERSITY'IES. |
| 00:18:27 | YOU HAVE TO ENGAGE YOUNG PEOPLE. |
| 00:18:32 | THE RECEPTIONS HAVE BEEN FANTASTIC. |
| 00:18:37 | THEY ARE INTERESTED IN FREE MARKETS. |
| 00:18:40 | THEY ARE AWARE. |
| 00:18:43 | WHAT DO THEY HAVE ? |
| 00:18:50 | PERSONAL DEBT THEY CANNOT PAY. |
| 00:18:57 | IF WE CHANGE THE ATTITUDE OF A WHOLE GENERATION, IN 10 YEARS, THEY MAY DO THE REBUILDING. |
| 00:19:08 | OUR TRADITIONS ARE GREAT. |
| 00:19:12 | WE ARE BETTER OFF. |
| 00:19:16 | THIS IS A WORLDWIDE PHENOMENON. |
| 00:19:20 | OTHER COUNTRIES ARE LOOKING AT THIS. |
| 00:19:24 | I AM KEEPING MY FINGERS CROSSED. |
| 00:19:29 | THERE IS EVERY REASON TO BE OPTIMISTIC IN THE LONG RUN. |
| 00:19:35 | DID NOT BE NAIVE -- DO NOT BE NAIVE. |
| 00:19:44 | "WE WILL SOLVE THE FISCAL CRISIS BECAUSE WE WILL TRADE. |
| 00:19:51 | ' THAT IS NOT GOING TO WORK. |
| 00:19:55 | I HAVE ALWAYS DONE THAT AND WILL ALWAYS WORK ON TRYING TO REFORM I TT. |
| 00:20:05 | A REAL HELP IF IT WAS LEGAL TO PUT YOUR NAME ON A BALLAOT. |
| 00:20:13 | IF I COULD RUN ON TWO PARTY LABELS AND ADD THEM UP TOGETHER, THIS WOULD GIVE MORE CREDIBILITY FOR THE THIRD PARTY IIES. |
| 00:20:30 | SHOULD HAVE MORE OF THAT -- IT WILL TAKE A LOT MORE THAN THAT. |
| 00:20:37 | IT WILL TAKE CHANGING THE LAW BA. |
| 00:20:43 | REPUBLICANS AND DEMOCRATS CONTROL STATE LEGISLATURES. |
| 00:20:48 | THEY MAKE IT DIFFICULT TO GET ON THE BALLOT. |
| 00:20:53 | IT IS EASIER IN SOME COUNTRIES IN THE MIDDLE EAST THAT WE THINK ARE CHAOTIC. |
| 00:21:00 | HOST: KAY IN SAN DIEGO, GOOD MORNING. |
| 00:21:05 | CALLER: GOOD MORNING. |
| 00:21:09 | I AM HONORED TO TALK WITH YOU. |
| 00:21:13 | YOU HAVE ALWAYS WALKED TO THE BEAT OF THEIR OWN DRUMMER -- OF YOUR OWONN DRUMMER. |
| 00:21:27 | I HEAR YOU SPEAK OF IT SOMETIMES. |
| 00:21:31 | I HAVE NEVER BEEN ABLE TO UNDERSTAND THE FEDERAL RESERVE BANK AND HOW WORKS AND I WAS WONDERING IF YOU COULD EXPLAIN THE BASIC WORKINGS OF IT. |
| 00:21:45 | GUEST: IT IS A CENTRAL BANKS. |
| 00:21:50 | THIS ARGUMENT HAS GONE FOR A LONG TIME. |
| 00:21:54 | JEFFERSON AND HAMILTON ARGUED ABOUT THIS. |
| 00:22:01 | JEFFERSON GOT RID OF IT. |
| 00:22:08 | OUR CENTRAL BANK HAS TREMENDOUS POWER. |
| 00:22:13 | THEY ARE SECRET AND PRIVATE IN THE SENSE THAT NOBODY CONTROLS OF THEM. |
| 00:22:20 | THE FEDERAL RESERVE IN THE BANKING CRISIS WAS CREATING OUT OF THIN AIR $15 TRILLION AND PASSED IT OUT AROUND THE WORLD TO CENTRAL BANKS AND CORPORATIONS AND FOREIGN GOVERNMENTS. |
| 00:22:40 | IT IS ALL SECRET. |
| 00:22:44 | WE'RE GETTING MORE EXPOSURE. |
| 00:22:47 | THEY CAN CREATE MONEY OUT THIN AIR. |
| 00:22:53 | IT CAUSES FINANCIAL BAUBLU BBLES. |
| 00:23:03 | IT CAUSES PRICES OF HOUSES TO GO UP. |
| 00:23:08 | THEN IT THERE IS A CRASH. |
| 00:23:12 | THERE IS A LOT OF GOOD THINGS ON THE INTERNET ABOUT THE CENTRAL BANK AND PEOPLE SHOULD READ THE WRITINGS OF AN AUTHOR WITH GOOD LITERATURE ABOUT THE CENTRAL BANK. |
| 00:23:29 | AN EXCELLENT PAMPHLET THAT HE HAS WRITTEN. |
| 00:23:33 | IT IS VERY IMPORTANT. |
| 00:23:38 | PEOPLE ON THE COLLEGE CAMPUSES ARE VERY MUCH AWARE OF THE DETRIMENT THE FEDERAL RESERVE HAS BEEN TO US. |
| 00:23:48 | HOST: WE HAVE A STORY FROM REUTERS. |
| 00:24:11 | HOST: WE HAVE A QUESTION FROM FACEBOOK FROM NORMAN. |
| 00:24:23 | GUEST: WELL, I DID NOT CALL FOR SECESSION. |
| 00:24:29 | I CALL FOR THE PRINCIPLE OF SECESSION IN BEING RECOGNIZED. |
| 00:24:37 | THEY UNDERSTOOD THEY ARE COMING TOGETHER -- THE FOUNDERS UNDERSTOOD THEY ARE COMING TOGETHER. |
| 00:24:46 | THEY WERE PROTECTED BY THE 10TH AMENDMENT. |
| 00:24:54 | "THESE PEOPLE HAVE TO BE PUT ON A LIST. |
| 00:25:00 | " THEY WANT TO PUT THEM ON A LIST THAT THEY ARE COMMITTING TREASON. |
| 00:25:07 | THROW THEM OUT OF THE COUNTRY. |
| 00:25:11 | THE PRINCIPLE OF SECESSION IS VERY IMPORTANT. |
| 00:25:18 | "IF YOU MISTREAT US, THAT IS WHAT WE MIGHT CONSIDER. |
| 00:25:25 | " IF YOU HAVE THAT PRINCIPLE, NOTIFICATION IS THE SAME THING. |
| 00:25:33 | LOOKOUT WONDERFUL IT WOULD HAVE BEEN TOO SOFT OBAMACARE. |
| 00:25:40 | NULLIFICATION OF SECESSION SHOULD ALWAYS BE THERE. |
| 00:25:45 | THE NEW ENGLAND STATES TALKED ABOUT SECESSION. |
| 00:25:51 | NOBODY CONDEMNED THEM FOR A IT. |
| 00:25:57 | WE SECEDED FROM ENGLAND. |
| 00:26:01 | NOBODY COMPLAINED ABOUT THE EASTERN BLOC NATIONS. |
| 00:26:06 | THIS IDEA ABOUT THE HYSTERIA CONDEMNING THESE PEOPLE AS BEING UN-AMERICAN. |
| 00:26:17 | DOESN'T MEAN THEY ARE LEADING THE CHARGE. |
| 00:26:22 | SOME PEOPLE WILL LIKE TO DO THAT. |
| 00:26:26 | IF IT HAD BEEN THERE ALONG WITH NULLIFICATION, BELIEVE ME, THIS GOVERNMENT WOULD NOT BE THE SIZE THAT IT IS TODAY. |
| 00:26:34 | HOST: BOBBY IS OUR NEXT CALLER. |
| 00:26:37 | CALL, WANT TO SAY THANK YOU TO CONGRESSMAN PAUL FOR OPENING UP MY EYES THIS YEAR AND EDUCATING ME. |
| 00:26:45 | MY QUESTION IS ON THE INHERITANCE TAX. |
| 00:26:47 | HOW DO WE FIGHT THE INHERITANCE TAX, AS PEOPLE IN STATES? |
| 00:26:52 | IT IS PREVENTING US FROM USING OUR OWN FAMILY MONEY. |
| 00:26:55 | I WOULD ALSO LIKE HIM TO TOUCH ON THE AGENDA 21 AND THE UNITED NATIONS AND HOW WE USE BILLIONS, AND HOW WE COULD USE THAT HERE. |
| 00:27:08 | >>GUEST: THE INHERITANCE TAX IS A TAX ON CAPITAL. |
| 00:27:13 | IF YOU ARE TAXING WITH CAPITAL GAINS OR INHERITANCE TAX, YOU HAVE A SMALL BUSINESS MAN THAT GETS UP TO $3 MILLION, AND THEN THE FAMILY INHERITS AND THEY HAVE TO BREAK IT UP. |
| 00:27:27 | THAT IT DESTRUCTION OF CAPITAL, SAVINGS. |
| 00:27:31 | THERE SHOULD BE NO INHERITANCE TAX. |
| 00:27:33 | THE BUSINESSES WERE BUILT WITH MONEY THEY PAID TAXES ON. |
| 00:27:38 | THAT IS VERY DESTRUCTIVE AND WE SHOULD NOT HAVE AN INHERITANCE TAX. |
| 00:27:46 | THIS IS COMING TO ME, ONE OF THE MOST IMPORTANT TAXES WE CAN CHANGE. |
| 00:27:50 | OVER THE YEARS, AT THE BEGINNING, I USED TO WONDER, WHY DOESN'T SEEM LIKE AVERAGE MIDDLE-CLASS PEOPLE COMING TO ME WANT TO DEAL WITH THE INHERITANCE TAX. |
| 00:28:01 | RICH PEOPLE ALL HAVE A WAY TO GET AROUND IT, TRUST FUNDS, OVERSEAS INVESTMENTS, ALL KINDS OF PROTECTION, BUT THE AVERAGE PERSON WITH A SMALL BUSINESS OR A FARM THAT THEY DO NOT WANT TO GIVE UP, THEY ARE THE ONE THAT WILL BE DESTROYED. |
| 00:28:18 | AGAIN, THE INHERITANCE TAX IS INTENDED TO GET THE RICH BUT IT ENDS UP GETTING MORE MIDDLE- CLASS INDIVIDUALS WHO ARE WELL- TO-DO ENOUGH THAT HAVE A BUSINESS THAT IS WORTH SOMETHING. |
| 00:28:31 | THOSE KINDS OF TAXES ALWAYS BACKFIRE. |
| 00:28:34 | HOST: ONE OF OUR TWITTER VIEWERS WANTS TO KNOW WHAT YOU THINK ABOUT THIS STORY. |
| 00:28:40 | MITT ROMNEY ATTRIBUTED OBAMA'S WIN TO GIFTS. |
| 00:28:44 | HE AND HIS TEAM ATTRIBUTED, LOST TO GENE RIGHTS ON TWITTER, IT SOUNDED LIKE HIS 47% TAPE. |
| 00:29:09 | GUEST: IT WAS NOT A VERY GOOD POLITICAL STATEMENT. |
| 00:29:13 | THERE WAS A GRAIN OF TRUTH INVOLVED, BECAUSE THAT IS WHAT POLITICIANS DO. |
| 00:29:19 | REPUBLICAN CANDIDATES, WHEN THEY ARE IN OFFICE, THEY GO TO PLACES FOR THEY HAVE JUST GIVEN LOTS OF MONEY TO INDUSTRY. |
| 00:29:27 | THAT IS TRADITION. |
| 00:29:29 | BUT THIS WHOLE 47% THING I FIND INTERESTING. |
| 00:29:32 | THERE IS A GRAIN OF TRUTH TO THAT. |
| 00:29:35 | PEOPLE ARE RECEIVING THINGS AND THEY DO NOT WANT TO LOSE THAT. |
| 00:29:38 | LOOK AT THE DEMONSTRATION IN GREECE. |
| 00:29:41 | BUT WHAT HE FORGOT TO SAY IS THE BIG MONEY, THE BIG BENEFITS, THE BIG WELFARE GOES TO THE CORPORATIONS, THE MILITARY INDUSTRIAL COMPLEX. |
| 00:29:53 | SO IT IS BIGGER THAN THE 47% AND THAT IS WHY THE STATUS QUO IS MAINTAINED. |
| 00:29:59 | IF YOU ARE AT BOEING GETTING FANTASTIC CONTRACTS FOR AIRPLANES AND ROMNEY WANTED TO SPEND $2 TRILLION MORE IN MILITARY, HE IS PROMISING, TOO, IF YOU VOTE FOR ME, I WILL BUY MORE WEAPONS. |
| 00:30:16 | IT IS THE SAME THING. |
| 00:30:17 | IT IS THOUGHT ALL OR NOTHING. |
| 00:30:21 | POLITICALLY, YOU HAVE TO BE CAREFUL. |
| 00:30:23 | POLITICS IS MOSTLY DEMAGOGUING AND DISTORTION, RATHER THAN DEALING WITH THE FACTS. |
| 00:30:30 | THERE IS WAY TOO MANY IN ONE WAY OR ANOTHER RECEIVING FROM GOVERNMENT. |
| 00:30:35 | THE ONE THING I'VE LEARNED COMING TO WASHINGTON, IF YOU RESENT THIS IDEA OF WELFARE REDISTRIBUTION, THE POOR -- IT IS BELIEVED IF YOU PASS UP FOOD STAMPS, THAT IS WHERE MOST OF THE WELFARE IS, BUT THAT IS MINOR COMPARED TO THE FOOD STAMPS FOR THE RICH. |
| 00:30:57 | IS THE PRINCIPLE OF THE REDISTRIBUTION OF WEALTH THROUGH GOVERNMENT EDICTS. |
| 00:31:02 | THAT IS WHAT HAS TO BE REJECTED. |
| 00:31:03 | THE POOR SAY, I NEED MY FOOD STAMPS, BUT BELIEVE ME, THEY ARE GETTING HIT HARDEST. |
| 00:31:12 | GENERAL MOTORS AND THE BIG GUYS GOT THE BAIL OUT. |
| 00:31:15 | THE LITTLE GUYS DID NOT. |
| 00:31:17 | HOST: NEXT PHONE CALL IS FROM JOHN IN HOUSTON. |
| 00:31:21 | GOOD MORNING. |
| 00:31:23 | CALLER: GOOD MORNING PARA THE FIRST QUESTION I HAVE FOR YOU TODAY -- I HAVE TWO QUESTIONS. |
| 00:31:29 | THE FIRST ONE IS ON THE REFORM OF THE PROCESS BY WHICH GOVERNMENT ORGANIZATIONS SPEND THEIR MONEY. |
| 00:31:35 | YOU HEAR A LOT ABOUT LAWMAKERS CUTTING THE BUDGET, BUT ONCE THEY SPEND THE BUDGET, THEY PUT IN PLACE, YOU HAVE PEOPLE WORKING BELOW THAT LEVEL WITH THAT MONEY AND THEY ARE RESTRICTED IN ONE THEY CAN AND CANNOT DO. |
| 00:31:54 | AS AN EXAMPLE, I HAVE A FRIEND OF MINE WHO IS A COMMANDER IN THE ARMY. |
| 00:31:59 | THE MILITARY GIVES HIM A BUDGET. |
| 00:32:02 | HE HAS TO SPEND THE AMOUNT THEY KICK HIM OR HE CAN GET IN BIG TROUBLE. |
| 00:32:08 | OF COURSE, IF YOU TALK ABOUT NOT WANTING TO SPEND THE AMOUNT, HE WILL NOT HAVE WHAT HE MEANS NEXT YEAR. |
| 00:32:17 | BY AND LARGE, WHAT I HAVE SEEN IS PRETTY MUCH THE SAME THING IN OTHER GOVERNMENT ORGANIZATIONS. |
| 00:32:25 | THE SECOND QUESTION I HAD, IF YOU GO BACK TO THE 1960'S AND THE CIVIL RIGHTS MOVEMENT, TALKING ABOUT BARRY GOLDWATER, ONE OF THE REASONS HE DID NOT WIN HIS ELECTION WITH HIS LIBERTARIAN IDEOLOGIES WAS BECAUSE, AT THE SAME TIME, WITH THE POWER IS GOING TO THE STATES THERE WERE SOME GOVERNORS IN THE SOUTH THAT WERE DOING SOME CROOKED THINGS WHICH OUR COUNTRY HAS GROWN BEYOND, AT THIS POINT, BUT WHAT IS THE POTENTIAL CIVIL IMPACT OF REDUCING THE SIZE OF GOVERNMENT AND SPENDING WHEN THE COUNTRY IS DEPENDING ON THE GOVERNMENT TO FULFIL ITS SPECIFIC ROLE? |
| 00:33:22 | GUEST: IF YOU REDUCE IT, THE PEOPLE WILL SPEND IT PRODUCTIVELY. |
| 00:33:27 | WHEN THE GOVERNMENT SPENDS IT, IT IS ALWAYS POLITICALLY. |
| 00:33:30 | THAT IS WHAT IS HAPPENING IN THE MILITARY. |
| 00:33:33 | YOU POINT TO THE WASTE IN THE MILITARY. |
| 00:33:36 | I AM ALL FOR GETTING WEIGHT -- RID OF WASTE, FRAUD, AND ABUSE, BUT THAT IS NOT THE SOLUTION. |
| 00:33:43 | ONCE YOU GIVE MONEY TO A POLITICIAN OR BUREAUCRAT, THEY ARE ALWAYS WASTEFUL AND FRAUDULENT AND ABUSIVE. |
| 00:33:51 | LOOK AT THE MILITARY BUDGET. |
| 00:33:54 | EVERYONE IS SCREAMING ABOUT $50 BILLION OF PROPOSED CUTS IN THE PROPOSED INCREASES IN THE MILITARY. |
| 00:34:01 | UNDERSTAND THERE IS A LOT MORE MONEY THAN THAT IN THE MILITARY BUDGET THAT HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH THE MILITARY. |
| 00:34:07 | IF YOU GOT RID OF ALL THAT, YOU WOULD SOLVE A LOT OF PROBLEMS. |
| 00:34:11 | IT IS THE NATURE OF GOVERNMENT. |
| 00:34:15 | WEATHER IS DOMESTIC, ON THE MILITARY, WE SHOULD DO OUR BEST. |
| 00:34:21 | WE SHOULD HAVE A NATIONAL DEFENSE TO BE MORE EFFICIENT, BUT IT IS SORT OF A CULTURE. |
| 00:34:29 | I AM AWARE, HAVING BEEN IN THE MILITARY, PEOPLE ARE TOLD, IF YOU DO NOT USE OF THIS BUDGET, THAT MEANS YOU WILL BE CUT NEXT YEAR. |
| 00:34:38 | SO THEY WORK VERY HARD TO MAKE SURE THEY SPEND EVERY PENNY. |
| 00:34:41 | IT IS THE OPPOSITE OF WHAT A BUSINESSMAN DOES. |
| 00:34:44 | THAT IS WHY -- A BUSINESSMAN IS NOT REWARDED BY SPENDING THE MONEY. |
| 00:34:52 | THIS IS THE OPPOSITE. |
| 00:34:54 | THEY ARE ENCOURAGED TO DO THE WRONG THING. |
| 00:34:57 | THAT IS WHY THERE IS MORE BENEFIT FROM A BUSINESS DECISION, INDIVIDUALS, WHETHER IT IS THE AVERAGE SAVER OR WORKER, OR AN INVESTOR, THEY ARE NOT CAPABLE OF AVOIDING MISTAKES THEY DID NOT INVOLVE THEMSELVES. |
| 00:35:15 | WHEN THE GOVERNMENT MAKES A MISTAKE, IT INVOLVES ALL OF US, AND THAT IS THE PROBLEM. |
| 00:35:21 | HOST: DEREK INS OUR NEXT CALLER. |
| 00:35:31 | CALLER: IF YOU CAN REMEMBER -- HOST: PLEASE TURN DOWN YOUR TV. |
| 00:35:40 | CALLER: IF YOU CAN REMEMBER WHEN MITCH MCCONNELL WAS ASKED, WHAT WOULD BE THE REPUBLICANS' TOP AGENDA, AND HE RESPONDED BY SAYING IT WOULD BE TO MAKE PRESIDENT OBAMA A ONE-TERM PRESIDENT. |
| 00:35:55 | SINCE THEN, I HAVE NOTICED A LOT OF TIMES HOW REPUBLICANS WOULD VOTE AGAINST A LOT OF THE POLICIES AND IDEAS THAT HE HAD, THAT WE HAVE HELPED THIS COUNTRY GET AHEAD, AT LEAST MOST OF US, AND THEY VOTED AGAINST IT. |
| 00:36:13 | ARE THEY STILL GOING TO DO THAT THIS TERM? |
| 00:36:16 | THEY DID NOT MAKE HIM A ONE-TERM PRESIDENT. |
| 00:36:19 | GUEST: THAT IS THE WAY POLITICS WORKS. |
| 00:36:23 | I REMEMBER WHEN GEORGE BUSH SR. |
| 00:36:26 | HAD HIS TERM, THE PURPOSE OF DEMOCRAT PARTY WAS TO MAKE HIM A ONE-TERM PRESIDENT. |
| 00:36:32 | THAT IS THE WAY IT WORKS. |
| 00:36:35 | EVEN THOUGH THE POLICIES ARE NOT DIFFERENT, THE POWER STRUGGLE IS VERY REAL. |
| 00:36:39 | IF THEY CAN EMBARRASS THE OTHER PARTY -- THE OTHER THING I ARGUE FOR IS TO BE MORE OBJECTIVE AND SAY, THAT IS TRUE, THE REPUBLICANS DO THAT AND THEY GET OFF ON TANGENTS, PARTISAN BICKERING, BUT IT IS BIPARTISAN, BELIEVE ME. |
| 00:36:59 | IT IS NOT LIKE THE DEMOCRATS ARE ANGELS AND THE REPUBLICANS ARE THE MONSTERS. |
| 00:37:06 | BOTH PARTIES SHARE THE SAME AMOUNT OF BLAME. |
| 00:37:10 | HOST: ARE YOU GOING TO MISS SERVING IN CONGRESS? |
| 00:37:13 | ADDING ON TO THAT, A TWEET. |
| 00:37:18 | WHAT ADVICE WOULD YOU GIVE TO MEMBERS, HOW WOULD YOU IMPROVE CONGRESS? |
| 00:37:24 | GUEST: I HAVE BEEN IN AND OUT OF CONGRESS FOR 25 YEARS. |
| 00:37:28 | I ONLY HAVE TWO WEEKS LEFT TO SOLVE THE PROBLEMS. |
| 00:37:32 | AS I SAID IN MY SPEECH YESTERDAY, I HAVE BEEN HERE AND I DID NOT SOLVE MANY PROBLEMS. |
| 00:37:41 | HOST: A FAREWELL SPEECH. |
| 00:37:44 | GUEST: YES, MY MESSAGE IS DOING MORE WITH IDEAS, UNDERSTANDING ECONOMICS, LEARNING WHAT SELF- RELIANCE IS, READING AND OBEY THE CONSTITUTION. |
| 00:37:56 | THAT IS WHERE WE ARE SEEING SOME REAL PROGRESS. |
| 00:38:00 | THERE ARE SOME NEWER PEOPLE COMING INTO THE CONGRESS AND I THINK THEY ARE GOING TO DO A GOOD JOB. |
| 00:38:07 | THERE WAS A TIME WHEN ONE OR TWO OF US WOULD SAY THINGS LIKE THIS, BUT I THINK THERE WILL BE A COUPLE DOZEN. |
| 00:38:16 | IF PEOPLE SPEAK OUT ON PRINCIPLE, IT WILL BE VERY BENEFICIAL. |
| 00:38:20 | I THINK THINGS ARE GOING TO MOVE IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION, BUT LIKE I SAID, WE ARE GOING TO HAVE TO GO THROUGH SOME SERIOUS PROBLEMS FIRST. |
| 00:38:30 | HOST: HOW WE IN PHILADELPHIA, REPUBLICAN CALLER. |
| 00:38:35 | CALLER: I WILL TRY TO BE QUICK. |
| 00:38:39 | THANK YOU FOR YOUR SERVICE TO THE COMMON PEOPLE, CONGRESSMAN PAUL. |
| 00:38:44 | HAVE YOU RECOGNIZED JUSTIN'S ANTI-AUTHORIZATION ACT? |
| 00:38:57 | I WONDER IF WE SHOULD APPLY PRESSURE -- EXCUSE ME, I AM A LITTLE NERVOUS. |
| 00:39:03 | I WAS WONDERING IF YOU THOUGHT ABOUT MAYBE APPLYING PRESSURE TO EVERYONE WHO WORKS OUT IN GOVERNMENT, MAY BE AN ANTI- SUBSIDY LAW, ANTI- LYING LAW. |
| 00:39:19 | AND HOW ABOUT DRUG TESTING? |
| 00:39:24 | EVERY 24 HOURS. |
| 00:39:25 | THAT INCLUDES COFFEE AND SUGAR AND EVERYTHING. |
| 00:39:28 | HOST: I THINK THAT WOULD BE A LITTLE EXTREME. |
| 00:39:31 | JUSTIN IS A VERY GOOD MEMBER OF CONGRESS, VERY DETERMINED TO FOLLOW THE CONSTITUTION. |
| 00:39:38 | I AM SURE HE IS ON THE RIGHT TRACK. |
| 00:39:41 | DRUG TESTING, I THINK WE'RE OVERDOING THIS. |
| 00:39:45 | WE SHOULD NEVER HAVE GENERAL DRUG-TESTING. |
| 00:39:48 | I THINK THERE HAS TO BE REASONABLE CAUSE AND JUSTIFICATION. |
| 00:39:54 | IT CAN BE HANDLED IN THE PRIVATE SECTOR RATHER EASILY. |
| 00:39:58 | THE BUSINESSMAN HAS A RIGHT, IF HE IS RUNNING AN AIRLINE, TO TEST THE PEOPLE FLYING HIS AIRPLANES. |
| 00:40:05 | FOR THE GOVERNMENT TO SAY THAT WE ARE GOING TO DRUG TEST EVERYBODY, AND EVEN FEDERAL OFFICIALS, IF THEY DO NOT HAVE A VITAL FUNCTION, I DO NOT BELIEVE IN GENERALIZED DRUG TESTING FOR EVERYONE THAT WORKS FOR THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT, UNLESS THEY ARE IN A POSITION WHERE THEY COULD ENDANGER OTHERS. |
| 00:40:29 | I DO NOT THINK THAT WOULD SOLVE MANY OF OUR PROBLEMS. |
| 00:40:32 | IN FACT, I HAVE BEEN PRETTY STRONG ABOUT EMPHASIZING HOW BAD THE DRUG WAR HAS BEEN AND THE CARELESSNESS OF HOW WE VIOLENCE CELEBRITIES. |
| 00:40:48 | -- VIOLATE DRUG INITIATIVES. |
| 00:40:51 | HOST: WHAT DO YOU THINK ABOUT THE RECENT DEBATE ABOUT MEDICAL MARIJUANA? |
| 00:40:56 | GUEST: ALCOHOL PROHIBITION WAS A TOTAL DISASTER. |
| 00:41:01 | AL CAPONE DID QUITE WELL. |
| 00:41:03 | ALCOHOL IS NOW LEGAL BUT REGULATED. |
| 00:41:08 | YOU CAN GET MARIJUANA EASIER THAN ALCOHOL BECAUSE OF THE RIDICULOUSNESS OF OUR LAWS. |
| 00:41:14 | I JUST SIGNED A LETTER WITH BARNEY FRANK TO THE PRESIDENT SAYING, DO NOT GO INTO THOSE TWO STATES. |
| 00:41:23 | ILLEGALIZED IT, IT IS THEIR RIGHT. |
| 00:41:24 | THE PRESIDENT HAS BEEN ENFORCING THE DRUG LAWS AGAINST HAITIANS IN CALIFORNIA WHO, UNDER THE STATE LAW, ARE ALLOWED TO USE IT FOR HEALTH REASONS. |
| 00:41:38 | PEOPLE WITH MULTIPLE SCLEROSIS, IN WHEELCHAIRS', AND WANT TO ARREST PEOPLE LIKE THIS. |
| 00:41:44 | BARNEY FRANK AND I WROTE A LETTER AND SAID, THE STATES HAVE ACTED. |
| 00:41:48 | THERE IS SOME KEY THING AS THE 10TH AMENDMENT, THEY HAVE A RIGHT TO DO THIS. |
| 00:41:52 | I THINK IT WILL HAPPEN. |
| 00:41:54 | MORE AND MORE PEOPLE ARE WAKING UP TO HOW SILLY THE DRUG WAR IS. |
| 00:41:59 | BECAUSE HEMP LOOKS LIKE MARIJUANA, WE HAVE MADE IT ILLEGAL, EVEN THOUGH YOU CANNOT SMOKE HEMP. |
| 00:42:09 | THE WHOLE THING IS TOTALLY OUT OF CONTROL. |
| 00:42:13 | HOPEFULLY, THE PRESIDENT WILL TAKE ADVICE FROM US, THIS IS A COALITION OF LEFT AND RIGHT COMING TOGETHER, AND LIBERTARIAN, SAYING TO THE PRESIDENT, DO NOT CRACK DOWN ON THE STATES. |
| 00:42:25 | THEY HAVE A RIGHT TO DO WHAT THEY ARE DOING WITH MARIJUANA. |
| 00:42:30 | HOST: CONGRESSMAN RON PAUL. |
| 00:42:31 | HE IS FINISHING UP HIS 12TH TERM. |
| 00:42:34 | THANK YOU FOR JOINING US. |
| 00:42:36 | COMING UP NEXT, INDEPENDENT VERMONT SENATOR BERNIE SANDERS JOINS US. |
| 00:42:42 | LATER ON, WE WILL LOOK AT THE HEALTH INSURANCE EXCHANGES STATES ARE SETTING UP. |
| 00:42:51 | FIRST, A NEWS UPDATE. >> THE UNEMPLOYMENT FIGURES THIS HOUR. |
| 00:42:54 | SUPERSTORM SANDY DROVE THE NUMBER OF PEOPLE SEEKING BENEFITS UP TO A SEASONALLY ADJUSTED 439,000 LAST WEEK, THE HIGHEST LEVEL IN 18 MONTHS. |
| 00:43:04 | THE LABOR DEPARTMENT SAYS APPLICATIONS INCREASED BY 70,000 BECAUSE A LARGE NUMBER OF APPLICANTS FILED IN STATES DAMAGED BY THE STORM. |
| 00:43:12 | PEOPLE CAN CLAIM UNEMPLOYMENT BENEFITS IF THE WORKPLACE IS CLOSED AND THEY DO NOT GET PAID. |
| 00:43:17 | AN UPDATE ON THE DEEP WATER HORIZON EXPLOSION IN THE GULF OF MEXICO. |
| 00:43:23 | BBC SAYS BP IS SAID TO RECEIVE A RECORD FINE OF BETWEEN $3 BILLION AND $5 BILLION TO SETTLE CRIMINAL CHARGES RELATED TO THE ACCIDENT. |
| 00:43:35 | THE BBC EDITOR SAID THAT IT WILL BE THE BIGGEST CRIMINAL PENALTY IN U. |
| 00:43:39 | S. HISTORY. THE SETTLEMENT WILL BE WITH BP PLEADING GUILTY TO CRIMINAL CHARGES. |
| 00:43:44 | IN ADDITION, THERE IS WORD THAT UP TO FOUR STAFF WILL BE ARRESTED AND TWO CHARGED WITH MANSLAUGHTER. |
| 00:43:53 | THE 2010 DEEPWATER HORIZON DISASTER KILLED 11 WORKERS AND RELEASED MILLIONS OF BARRELS OF CRUDE OIL INTO THE GULF OF MEXICO OVER 87 DAYS. |
| 00:44:01 | MORE ON DAVID PETRAEUS FROM DEFENSE SECRETARY LEON PANETTA. |
| 00:44:06 | IN REMARKS EARLIER FROM THAILAND, HE SAYS HE STILL HAS CONFIDENCE IN GENERAL JOHN ALLEN, THE GENERAL COMMANDING FORCES IN AFGHANISTAN, EVEN THOUGH HE HAS BEEN DRAWN INTO THE SCANDAL SURROUNDING FORMER DIRECTOR PETRAEUS. |
| 00:44:19 | HE GOES ON TO SAY THAT HE KNOWS OF NO ONE ELSE IMPLICATED IN THE SCANDAL. |
| 00:44:23 | THE CHAIRMAN OF THE JOINT CHIEFS OF STAFF ALSO EXPRESSED SUPPORT FOR GENERAL JOHN ALLEN. |
| 00:44:28 | THE ARMED SERVICES COMMITTEE MEETS THIS MARCAN ON THE NOMINATION OF -- THIS MORNING ON THE NOMINATION FOR THE MAN REPLACING GENERAL JOHN ALLEN. |
| 00:44:41 | THOSE |
