Ron Paul: I’m sure you recall back in 2015 you had a conference up in Tennessee and that’s when we got to know each other. The questions I probably had for you then and I have now, and I think our viewers would be interested, is a little bit about your background. You have a big operation. You’re well-known and you have so many subscribers. But how did you get started? Did you knowwhat was going on in the world when you were 15 years old or did you become knowledgeable later on?
