On today's show, Ron Paul and Alex Blumbergberg discuss the current state of the economy, the economy as a whole, and the future of the country. Also, Ron and Alex talk about the IRS targeting the elderly and the need to stand up for the little guy.
00:01:07.000My grandparents, not my father's parents, but my mother's parents, live in a humble home with a nice backyard, and they worked hard their lives, and they're not rich.
00:01:39.000You know, you sit here, they target them because a lot of times they can't stand up for themselves and they just get struck dry by the bureaucrats because they're getting a little bit old.
00:01:46.000You take Rowan Ellington, another World War II veteran.
00:02:21.000I think it's wrong that people can't sell their houses because of the environmental crap that corporations can go around and lobby the politicians to get out of it.
00:02:28.000Alex, man, I did not call you up there again.
00:02:31.000You don't have to get in people's face like that.
00:06:59.000Then they talk about tollways, and transponders, and one card for everything, and ships under the skin, and how wonderful it is, and the best part for your daughter is, blah, blah, blah.
00:07:08.000Of course, it's always for the children.
00:07:10.000And you sit there and you read that, and then you realize, wait a minute, if the IRS doesn't like me now, and they're a bunch of criminals, that's been proven, out of control, if they don't like me now, they can come take my house away, but I can still mow yards, or be in the black market economy, selling shoes on the street, or whatever.
00:07:25.000Well, what if they, in ten years, have implemented this smart car and smart highways?
00:07:30.000You won't be able to get in your car, drive down the road.
00:07:32.000Your car will just turn off if you're not a good citizen or a good slave.
00:07:36.000Well, that would take a great deal of technology.
00:07:39.000They haven't even invented it yet to turn your car off.
00:07:43.000All the technology does now is it uses Uh, what, in effect, is a high-tech metal detector to read the speed of the car as it goes over.
00:07:57.000And, you know, technology's doubling every four and a half years now, at this current rate.
00:08:02.000And the point I'm making is, is they do have systems, and it's been on Discovery Channel, microwaves that are harmful to people and other things.
00:08:09.000If they aim at your car for an instant, the engine will instantly stop.
00:08:58.000I've been telling everybody that those are what they plan to put cameras on, because in other cities I've seen poles just like that with a question mark wire, a lighting rod, with cameras.
00:09:08.000We're fixing to go over and find out right now.
00:11:06.000And after the fact, I found out three months later after I got arrested, I was walking down the street and a cop asked me for my identification.
00:14:06.000Have you heard anything about the ranchers in West Texas?
00:14:10.000They're bringing suit against the government for flying their jets out there with Well, we're training Russian and German troops in some of our aircraft.
00:14:22.000The Germans are at Alamogordo in New Mexico.
00:14:26.000There's a lot of stuff going on, but troop training's not such a big deal.
00:14:31.000Did you see two weeks ago when I played a clip off C-SPAN at the U.N.?
00:14:53.000Well, they were saying that they were, the ranchers were saying in regard to that During peacetime, they weren't supposed to fly over because they were fracturing their water tanks and everything, but the government said they could do what they wanted to.
00:15:08.000Well, that's basically what it is, isn't it?
00:15:11.000If people don't wake up to see what little things are going on here and there and putting things together themselves, they've got to be a robot.
