Lew reads Chapter 5 of his book, Forerunner: The Unlikely Role of Ron Paul. It briefly covers Dr. Paul’s background, his passion for gold-backed currency and Austrian economics, his friendship with his martyred colleague Cong. Larry McDonald, and his successful run for the Libertarian party presidential nomination against leftist Russell Means. It also recounts Dr. Paul’s return to congress, which was opposed by all the leading figures of the GOP. Finally, the chapter discusses his powerful use of the America First issue trifecta of trade, immigration, and endless wars, which was described in the previous episode of Hour of Decision, in his 2008 presidential campaign.
