=== Let's Put This In Perspective (02:57) ===

[00:00:00]  You know, I think the sovereignty issue is the big issue.
[00:00:04]  Because I don't think the British are libertarians and they want to get rid of the EU because they're too much interventionist.
[00:00:10]  But they resented the fact that these unelected officials were writing laws and rules.
[00:00:14]  Then they have a court system.
[00:00:16]  And if the court rules are right, there's no appeal.
[00:00:19]  And it's an unelected court, and they're obligated to live under these laws.
[00:00:23]  Just like we're having a grower obligation to live under UN resolutions.
[00:00:28]  We go to war with UN resolutions and NATO.
[00:00:31]  And I don't think the people have awakened in this country either to how much sovereignty that we have lost.
[00:00:39]  But Schultz, who is the president of the European Parliament, he said it is not the EU's philosophy that the crowd, that is the people, which he's referring to as a mob, can decide its fate.
[00:00:52]  Only he, only the unelected leader.
[00:00:55]  You know, I don't think that's brand new.
[00:00:58]  Nobody should be shocked.
[00:00:59]  It's just a shocking to see such bluntness, such arrogance, because I think so many of the politicians I knew in Washington were rather arrogant.
[00:01:09]  The American people get so terrified by the demagogues that they're willing to give up.
[00:01:14]  Half of them want to give up the Second Amendment, the other half wanting to give up the Fourth Amendment.
[00:01:19]  And that's going to be the solution.
[00:01:21]  Oh, the government should investigate everybody.
[00:01:23]  Put us on a list.
[00:01:24]  If you didn't have anything to hide, put your name on a list.
[00:01:27]  Oh, yeah, it's those guns, those people who believe in guns.
[00:01:30]  And they concentrate on that and they never say, well, let's stop and think about this.
[00:01:36]  Let's put this in perspective.
[00:01:38]  Well, I'll say that we are going to have a release later today of our first speaker we're going to reveal.
[00:01:44]  We have most of them lined up, a couple more that we're still working on, but we have most of them done and we'll have a nice, special, and very fun announcement this afternoon.
[00:01:52]  So I hope everyone will get your tickets to the conference.
[00:01:55]  Washington, D.C., September 10th.
[00:01:58]  You can go to the Ron Paul Institute website, ronpaulinstitute.org, and get all the information you need about it.
[00:02:05]  Let's move to the CPI, the Consumer Price Index.
[00:02:09]  And like yourself, Dr. Paul, I'm an American citizen.
[00:02:12]  I pay bills, electric bills, gas bills, groceries.
[00:02:16]  And I can tell you that they go in one direction, and that's upwards.
[00:02:19]  Never do I get a letter telling me great news, because we have sound money and increased productivity, we're going to cut your prices.
[00:02:26]  That never happens.
[00:02:27]  It's always upwards.
[00:02:29]  But the government and the Federal Reserve want me to close my eyes to the reality of life.
[00:02:34]  And they tell me that their CPI says that there's barely no inflation.
[00:02:37]  In fact, some of them claim that it's too low.
[00:02:40]  So please explain the nefariousness of the Consumer Price Index.
[00:02:46]  Yeah, and it's obvious that the prices are going up a lot more than they would admit.
[00:02:52]  And it is rather ironic that they want to make prices go up faster, 2% at least.
