Congressman Paul.

I've been in politics for 35 years my cause has been the cause of liberty.

And I am convinced that liberty does not come from our government but it comes from our creator.

And then our goal should be peace and prosperity it is under the principles of liberty that you have the greatest chance of achieving peace and prosperity.

That is why I'm so down on these wars it is costing us trillions of dollars.

Why we have to reform the monetary system why we need honest money a gold standard and not Paper money -- the Federal Reserve System.

But also we need to change environment for our businesses.

We need to get them to lower the regulations.

And and the -- is -- Private property rights and contract rights.

Then we can achieve peace and real prosperity.

Oh.

Do you mean.

This country is an economic crisis I think the people of this country understand that.

And we have unfortunately as a leader this country a man who is out of his depth.

And it does understand what it is needed to do to get this economy going again.

He just doesn't understand how the economy works because because He hasn't lived in the real economy I think in order to create jobs itself -- to have had a job.

And I fundamentally believe.

They'll probably need in this country as someone who's willing to go to work who believes in America.

Who believes in free enterprise who believes in capitalism who believes in opportunity and freedom I am that person I love this country and I will do everything in my -- -- -- Our economy and keep America the hope of the earth thank you another.

But with great blessing comes responsibility.

And if we don't fiercely protect our most precious blessings and freedom.

Governor Huntsman.

I'm running for president of the United States because I love this country.

This nation is hurting.

It is scared.

Less productive less competitive.
