all and 60% of the american people credit president obama for the strong economy and about 35% tucker: so patrick byrne, the immigration question is one oft often discussed in economic terms and if you don t have people coming in the economy will collapse. is that your perspective on it? absolutely not. we have to at some point choose between open borders and a social safety net. he s a true libertarian. i think the government has a responsibility to govern and they want the government to look out for them and not the whole world. at some point not only does it stress the social safety net and provides competition for less
well let s talk about another one of the republicans who are running. a colleague of yours, rand paul. he said excuse me. you said this week that hillary clinton could get a better iran deal than the president excuse me than rand paul could. yeah. would you vote for hillary clinton or rand paul if it was the two of them running for president? i d vote for senator paul because i m a republican and i would oppose his foreign policy when i had to. but rand paul and i agree on the economy. we ve tried to reform social security and medicare. at the end of the day, i think senator paul and i have far more in common in terms of the size and scope of government. on foreign policy we dramatically disagree. leading from behind has been barack obama s foreign policy. what would be hillary clinton s foreign policy? to rand paul s credit he s a true libertarian. he believes in fortress america. at the end of the day he believes if you leave the world alone, it will leave us alone.
why not a libertarian? it can t be worse. bob: well, gutfeld, let me tell you. first of all, it s interesting to me you said a libertarian republican. libertarians are on the ballot every four years and they qualified for it for a long time now. he is clearly running for the republican presidential nomination. but the idea that rand paul and the good doctor and the republican party casting aroundbe for the various people tells me that the bench for the republicans, which we kept talking about would be mighty strong is not nearly as strong. rubio got a taste of what it s like to step in the midto feel mix and it s not pleasant. greg: he sold $200,000 of bottled water. i should be so lucky. eric: did you get a haircut? bob: i did. what s it to you? eric: the problem with me and libertarians is the whole thing about smaller military. true libertarian would say protect the borders don t have any foreign policy at all. that is tough to win anytime

call. i m carol costello. thank you for waking up with us. rick perry was the prime target along with seven other presidential candidates on stage, trading barbs about everything from the economy to vaccinations to immigration. social security set the tone right off the bat. you ll hear from all eight contenders talking about your money, your job, your retirement. but let s talk about the two candidates sitting at the top of the polls. rick perry and mitt romney. listen. this is a broken system. it has been called a ponzi scheme by many people long before me, but no one s had the courage to stand up and say here is how we re going to reform it. the term ponzi scheme i think is over the top, unnecessary, and frightful to many people. i m not particularly worried about about governor perry and governor romney frightening the people when president obama scares them every day. social security is broke, we spent all the money, and it s on its last legs unless we do some
