Too much money to win our hearts, minds and votes. We learnt that another person is joining the crowded back of 16 republicans and five democrats who want president obamas job. Those brave or foolish souls may spend a billion to win the white house, double that of 2012, and a lot of that money will be spent on tv ads that will bombard you. Like i said, political inflation. The 22nd wannabe to sprout into the overcrowned republican field is someone many have not heard of former Virginia Governor jim gilmour, running for president in 2008, but backed out for lack of you guessed it money. Hes running in part because he says the u. S. Must quote, take action to strengthen the defense, restore and rebuild armed forces. Later in the program ill talk with former republican congressman rand paul who ran for president three times, congress about 12 times, and youll hear his take on americas role in the world and what he thinks of donald trump. We learn that donald trump is leading the republicans with 20 in the poll. Scott walker had 13 . Jed bush scored 10 bush. I should mention trump leads the pack in voters who say theres no way theyd support him. 30 of republicans say that. No one with from in politics will resist watching the Republican Debate to see how trump performs. Now, among the democrats the same pole found Bernie Sanders trailling Hillary Clinton by 20 point. Hes a long shot. Despite that his appeal seems to grow among voters who are sick. Political inflation ive been talking about. Thanks to the internet. It was on display at hundreds of house parties across the country. David shuster joins sanders at the main event and has this report. Reporter in washington d. C. Last night the Bernie Sanders event had all the trappings of a typical house party. Dozens came to eat, tripping and talk politics, and there was a speech from the candidate himself. It is wrong that people are working 40 or 50 hours a week and still living in poverty. Enough is enough. We have to raise that minimum raise to 15 an hour but the difference with this sanders speech is that it was delivered live over the internet, to over 3500 watched parties across the country. And the Campaign Says that based on the rsvps in advance, the numbers participating totalled more than 100,000. When we stand together, theres nothing, nothing, nothing that we cannot accomplish. Coast to coast, from california to the gallery in new york city, it all added up to the biggest organising event for any 2016 candidate so far. Away from the crowds, in a Senate Office building we spoke one on one with senator sanders about his digital effort. We need to develop a Grassroots Movement and the way to do it is people communicate with each other, determine what has to be done, who will be knocking on doors, making the phone call, passing out the literature, et cetera, et cetera. Reporter at 24 years old, kenneth is the candidates digital director. This, with all the technical challenges was his responsibility. The video proportion is a difficult task, you never know what can go wrong. But its mostly not oldfashioned email communication, and oldfashioned website communication getting the job done at the ends of the day. Reporter the passion and creativity seems to help. One of the campaigns popular social media hashtags showing up at rallies is this one. What goes through your mind when you see the signs feel the burn, was it used in a previous campaign. No, i have no idea where it came from. Theres a lot of things that are happening spontaneously that excite me a lot. Literally i read in papers about meetings that took place in some cities some place, that we had nothing to do to organise. Neighbourhood organizers including ben thorpe, a chef. This is his living room. The technology is amazing. We have feeds from all of the world in my little apartment. Its live streaming, which is fantastic. Others were thrilled to meet senator sanders, give him an inspirational poster. And in a case of this guy have a picture drinking a beer. The night was a huge organising success. Theyll connect people to other supporters in your area and to team leaders in your area. And to move the campaign forward, knocking on doors and making phone calls. Outreach based on unpassionate efforts David Shuster joins us. I did a show on infrastructure last night and got into a voicemail from a viewer who watched saying yp didnt you have Bernie Sanders on, he has better ideas about infrastructure than you had on your own show. What is the strategy for Bernie Sanders beating Hillary Clinton. A couple of things, its the message. Infrastructure Bernie Sanders putting a tax on Financial Transactions to fund a trillion in infrastructure rebuilding creating 12 million jobs. The idea is that kind of message helps him win iowa, New Hampshire, and would create so much free media, so much attention that the floodgates would open, hed get a tonne of money. And catch up to Hillary Clinton for the millions of dollars. Bernie sanders is able to go toe to toe with had her throughout the nomination process. I was taken aback by the number of people that tell me they are strongly and seriously backing Bernie Sanders. What surprised you in talking to senator sanders and seeing his campaign up close. As you know covering politicians, sometimes they come across as authentic on camera, when you talk to them off camera or follow them around, it teems like an act. Bernie sanders is the same on camera as off camera, hes been living and breathing the issues for 20 years, and talked about wage and economy, and minimum wage and backwards and forwards. Nothing surprises him. Again, he is beating himself, and the fact that hes putting himself out there. It has caught on. It has been surprising. Hes been talking about the stuff for 20 years. This is the part that i find gibberish, that everyone is discovering Bernie Sanders, and he is taking this on the road. Theres danger. Campaigns are such controlled enterprises. Snoop theres a lot of people pointing back to the Howard Dean Campaign in 2004. Similar situation, theres tonnes of grassroots supporters, coming into iowa with orange hats and energy, and angered a lot of locals, by the attitude and message taken door to door. They put off a lot of voters in iowa. That was a problem that howard deans campaign has. Part of the challenge is as people come up with creativity and messages, theres chrome, consistency and continuity. So it doesnt seem as if i go better. Ill tell New Hampshire what too do. Its something they have to work hard to avoid. They have many coming out of state who want to work on the campaign. Bernie sanders made the election cycle interesting. Thank you for being with us. Next Bernie Sanders is the political opposite of donald trump. One thing they have in common is an ability to shake up the establishment. Trump is making a former candidate nervous. We have someone that is bombastic saying im the greatest, i can do this. I fear that because i think this is how people get dangerous leaders in a country when things are bad a conversation with rand paul when we come back. K. Theres more than a year and three months before americans vote for the next president. So far 17 republicans and five democrats joined the race. At the early stage they are out raising money, campaigning for votes even if most are long shots at best. Its a long bizarre process that is familiar to former republican congressman rand paul. He ran for president. Paul has a book out, a life in war time, a future of peace and prosperity. It is an impassioned critique. She had an involvement in wars abroad. Rand paul praised president obama would prays nuclear agreement, opposed by most republicans, including the son, the president ial candidate. The younger paul campaigned on the fathers libertarian ideas of small government. Deregulation. Perhaps to be his own man, rand paul harshly criticized accommodation with iran. He promises to vote against the iran agreement in the senate. I arrived rand paul if his son is making a mistake voting against the deal. Here is what he told me. Well we have a disagreement. It remains to be seen whether its a mistake or not. I dont remember signing a pact and saying my son and i would have a disagreement on policy. If we look at the big picture, with the Monetary Policy spending, debt. Hes by far the only one that approaches the idea that we should be less involved overseas. You know, you can pick out one vote and say this is a big difference. If you look at intervention overseas, provoking wars, i would say that he is miles above all the other candidates that seem to be locked in to the neocon position, that we have a moral obligation to police the world, and follow the neojack vannism where we spread american goodness. Yes, i think that he represents those fews better than anyone else for nonintervention than knif of the other candidates. You have a right as an american not to answer the kevin. Time magazine called him an interesting man in politics. His looking in the polls erasing traction, not generating the same interest. Last month you said he was the only candidate talking some of that commonsense. Donald trump is now sucking up all the oxygen in media coverage, the polls showing him with a doubledigit lead of every other candidate. What does that say about the republican party, that donald trump is leading the pact . I think youd ask the question what does it say about the American People in this campaign, because it looks like they are getting excited about authoritarian. You have economic authoritarian, a socialist. Theres big problems, theres no middle class and things are not the way the government pretends they are. You have bernie, a good trend, we have good discussions. Here is a socialist telling you wills what to do. On our side we have someone who is bombastic saying im the greatest, we can do that. I fear that. This is how people get dangerous leaders in a country when things are bad. You want someone that i have the answers. Its a sentiment that annoys libertarians, the opposite of libertarians. We argue for the case of personal liberty, and people saw the appearance, not someone on a white hours saying i have the answers, do as i say, i have done this. That doesnt appeal to a lot of libertarians. You have been through the president ial process, i think you have been 12 times elected to congress. Do you think the system of choosing a president ial candidate is broken, its a dog and pony show . I think its been that way for a long time. Theres no theres no debate. If you look at Economic Policy or Foreign Policy, and on civil liberties, both parties are the same. The rhetoric is different. Its been broken. I think we are engaged in something the fundsers warned us against, dont work towards oo true democracy, the majority is the dictator. I think its the same for both parties. I dont think theres a lot of difference except for a few on each side. True reforms. Earlier this spring you participated in an experience of commercials warning of crisis. I spent 22 years in congress and im in washington to issue a warning. I believe a financial crisis, greater than 2008 is fast approaching because our government made a series of disastrous monetary decisions over the past few years. If im right, the way you live, work, travel, retire and invest will change, stocks and bonds crash, savings of millions could be wiped out. You cant rely on washington to help you. Get the facts, take the necessarily steps to protect yourself and your family. Rand paul i thought i was listening to an ad from a sur vivalist in a gun magazine. Why the doomsday rhetoric. I believe it. We have never lived in times like this, we never had a fiat currency engulfing the world, the u. S. Dollars. Every fiat currency fails, theres so many bubbles. What about the price of a bond. What happens if china gets into a little more trouble because they monetized all those things that we bought. They took our dollars and monetized it. What do they have to sell bond, and people sense this and crush out. This could change suddenly. Timing is not the thing that our economist do. They dont say next month or year, but the system is fragile. The foundation is gone, it is vulnerable as we saw a major crack in the system in 2000 and 2001. And they have not been repaired, they went back to doing more spending, debt accounts borrowing and regulating and middle class gets it hard. Now, the middle class is shrinking like crazy, and thats what this campaign is all about, and thats why we have them approaching. The middle class is getting squeezed and they dont have an economic answer, all we hear is the same old stuff. We talk war and politics. Hes an outspoken isolationist. He blames them for much of the trouble in the middle east. Our greatest threat is our liberties at home by the government, and you know, the problem is in the middle east, they are usually a consequence of us stirring up trouble. What do the iraqis do to us, to cause us to kill a million iraqis . Dont try this at home. Techknow where Technology Meets humanity. Only on al jazeera america. My name is imran garda. The show is called third rail. Rand paul is a 3time rail. President ial candidate in a lifelong champion of libertarian champions. He has a book. In the book he spells out his opposition to American Intervention in foreign wars. Most people assume that pauls isolation is built on ideology. Read the book. The antiwar stance is more personal, listen to how he explained it to me. It would be difficult to separate. Its philosophic, but its personal, seeing friends and neighbours and relatives. And seeing the uselessness of the war. I say if you look at our history, the way you go to war changed. The founder is worried about the branch going into war. We dont have dangers to that. Its a constitutional issue, my contention it that there are too many wars, some are avoided and so far. Governments have not been good at avoiding wars. They are the cause, and thats why im putting pressure on the people that bear the burden, they are to do more to prevent or stop the war is obviously in the 1960s. Our government didnt stop the war in vietnam, it was the peoples uprising that stopped the vietnam war. You mentioned in the back some reference from congress that indicates that since americas founding, its been involved in more than a war a year. Some 300 and some odd wars that we have been involved in. I know your arguments well. Im not sure how to reconcile them visavis events like world war ii or the holocaust for the armenians or Bashar Alassad or i. S. I. L. Is neutrality a nonintervention practical in a world where jen side and expansion run amok. What is impractical is getting involved and trying to be the police and the world. That is very imprac cam. But to think about it in terms of the holocaust and world war ii in isolation, we dont get an objective view of this. You have to think of the 20th century as a consequence of what Woodrow Wilsons did, change the attitude to interventionalism, getting involved inform world war i, and then having the treaty, which set the stage for world war ii. I would say nonintervention exists when there are big problems overseas. If you look at the problems that we have, and we havent caused it, it doesnt prevent people feeling strongly about it. I see it morally, i dont have the right to tax or draft people to gone over or harm overseas. I understand the philosophical issue, why are we worried about imposing democracy, in the incidents, i. S. I. L. Or Santa Barbara or Saddam Hussein or the holocaust, where its not about our liberty somewhere else, its about people getting killed, possibly by their own governments. Yes, and i worry about people using that as an excuse to undermine liberties at home. Hour greatest throat is it liberties by our own government. The problems in the middle east are usually have been so often a consequence of us stirring up trouble. I mean, what do the iraqis do to us to cause you to kill a million iraqis which set the whole thing off. I would say the intervention comes down on the wrong side of this. They are more likely to cause this these mass killings that is going on. Therell be problems, but the more its minimised the less the outsiders are involved. The better off we would be. In a trackal argument, even though you stir up the emotions saying theres a problem in rue wand ape. Youll sit back and do nothing. Well, i dont, i think thats what you do, and people do it voluntarily and let the local people solve the problems. The middle east is a west because the westerners have been involved for a long, long time. Its time to let the. Them agree with you. Time to let the people in that region make the decisions. You wrote our obsession with expanding a sphere of influence was designed tore empire building, not National Security purposes. What do you mean by that. The excuse is it will make us more secure. And thats why we have truth in 150 countries, i think we are less secure, theres blow back to be concerned about. Weve been involved because of this philosophy and the policy, in the vietnam war, and there is we make it safe before, we jeopardise ourselves. We wasted money and lives. I think we make ourselves unsafe. We are less safe now because of what we had done in the last 100 years. Because of monetary. The chapter making america safe for empire, we have a quote. Zionism played a role. It influenced, encouraged extreme interference in the middle east. What do you mean by that . I think of it with some of the christian brethren who put the burden on their believers, that if you dont automatically support mill tarrism in the middle east, because of the bible, and because of this zion. Movement, they do if in the name of religion. I see that in many largest advantagelical churches, that put a lot of impression to stir up support. If you look at the republican party, theres a large segment. I brought up the subject that we have Foreign Policy based on the golden rule in a christian audience. I got booed. I think theres a problem there. Given all the issues going on in the world, russian incursions in ukraine, turmoils in the middle east and i. S. I. L. , your Relentless Campaign has been eroded, starts running hollow. Americans are, like every country, transparent, free, run by the rule of law with universal suffrage, are you worried americans are not a free people or are you worried someone will snatch the freedoms away. All we have to do is think about the whistle blowers we protect. A person like edward snowden, and hes not allowed in the country. Anyone that tell us the truth about the government is in big trouble. I would say yes, if you look at n. S. A. , the invasion of privacy and all the personal liberties that we lose much someone told me i couldnt believe this this is an incident. Hes tired of what is going on, and feels less free. Hes moving to mexico. If he made a correct judgment, that worries me a bit and that is the show for today. Im ali velshi. Thank you for joining. New clues.
