Spoke at the Cato Institute of washington. This includes remarks by one paul sun, senator rand paul. Its an hour and 10 minutes. Good afternoon. Welcome to the Cato Institute. Im david boaz of the institute of her trying Something Different you are doing an event after work hours. Well see how that works out, but hopefully its good for people who have jobs and cant come to the events we do usually at noon. Required to have a very interesting discussion of ron pauls revolution.

Not all of him, but more than anything else. I think you can say over the past six years, it usually begins with ron paul.
