to deal with in addition to war, which either did not exist or we were not entirely conscious of. >> host: kofi annan. thank you very much for joining us here. >> guest: thank you. ...

you are watching book tv on c-span2 and we are on location and loss vegas at the freedom dressed and now joining us is author and entrepreneur wayne allyn root ne here is his book the content of the libertarian the power in the citizen revolution with god, guns and gold and tax cuts to read mr. root, if you would start by giving a quick biography of yourself so people know who we are talking to to the estimate i can give you a biography very quick the first thing you need to know is this is based in las vegas, the media calls me the king of vegas gambling for 25 years before i got involved in politics. i guarantee i'm the only person that has a star on the sidewalk of las vegas, there's 50 people and the world. wayne newton and wayne root and frank sinatra. it's an interesting probably got

into politics and i'm the only bus vegas maker to become a vice presidential nominee and regular on fox news. on the columnist and contributors at fox news.com. i write for probably every major conservative website in the world. my commentary is read by 75 million people and i do about a thousand radio interviews a year so i get my political advice and insight and analysis out there every day of the week and my number one thing at this point is america desperately needs offshore. we have to offshore barack obama. he's got to go, send him to china to respect first what is a loss of vegas oddsmaker? >> someone that predicts the winners of sporting events and was kind of a natural outgrowth. i went to predicting the one of sporting events, football games, to the winners of political elections, and i think it was

too close and for the conservative website said out of all of the oddsmakers and pendants and america of the one that got the most accurate prediction on the presidential election was wayne root. he won the 34 or 35 votes so i'm good at the instinctive with the american people are thinking. >> when you say instinct are you breaking these political odds down by county were looking at the electoral analysis, what are you doing? >> ayman people person the same reason i'm leaving my whole life predicting sporting events figuring out who has the image based on psychology and the situation of historical and based on whether the players are up or down psychologically and how they played last week based on next week i feel the same way about elections and i know that for years ago i spoke to probably many hundreds if not

thousands. normally think of them as conservative. four years ago have the people spoke to their own small businesses unwilling to give obama a chance i made the prediction he would win pretty easily and he did. four years later if i have a thousand small business people in constant contact with me not one of them is supporting obama. i have yet to find a small business person who thinks obama is drawing a good job so i am predicting and have the romney landslide. if you make this recording in most polls obama is up by three. i predict a landslide the size of reagan over carter and will be the same reason how can any human being with a brain walking to the voting booth on november 6 and not ask the question. number one in my better off than four years ago is america better off and number two, could we take a chance on four more years of this guy barack obama? your answer has to be no. anything is better than what we have now.

>> in the conscience of the libertarian you write about entrepreneurs and small businesses. the group that pays for others to live the american dream we work the hours and pay the taxes that allow the government to hire all of the unnecessary government employees, pay for the pensions and keep expanding the government programs. we may dislike government but ironically we pay for it all. islamic i'm proud of not just those words but holbrooke our country is going bankrupt and this was years ago written in november and december of 2008 right after the election and then finished in january before obama put his hand of the bible. he was my college classmate by the way, columbia. >> do you remember? >> nobody remembers him. i never saw him come and i got my classmate that ever saw him come and get with him or clams the set in the classroom. the bazaar mystery. something's wrong i said from day one there something wrong.

this gamble listened where he was born at when he went to college. there's something wrong. i never met him so i have real feelings of doubt what his story is at columbia and i don't know what it is i'm just telling you columbia there's something there. i predicted in this book that obama would support unions above all things in america he would support a government employee unions of employees of america. fight for the green energy and and it is contributors come fight for the high-speed rail and the and it to his contributors and gm and chrysler. he would support of the democratic contributors with a stimulus and bankrupt the united states of america and that's exactly what's happened. the prediction was made before he put his hand of the bible. he's done everything i said he would do. it's a purposeful attempt. when we went to columbia there were two professors that left when he got there. the only to the country that talk about this nei and glen bike and i said from the beginning he had a theory to destroy the country and wipe out

capitalism and turned into a socialist nation you have to elect somebody willing to cut his afro or play till, put on a gorgeous tie, a kiss babies come have a smile and a beautiful family and tell everybody is not a divider and tell everyone how fear he is and how he wants to help the middle class and then overwhelm the system with a debt. explode the system and get everyone to their knees begin in the government to save them every step of the way watch it that is exactly what he's done. he's pulled off in front of the whole nation and no one has stopped him and i've been saying it every step of the way. >> is a libertarian different than a conservative? >> they are more moderate and tolerant of the social issues which are almost meaningless by the way. what difference does it make if you have the marriage if you are gay and unemployed? what difference does it make if you're allowed to have an abortion if you're a woman and

you're unemployed? what difference does it make if you're black or hispanic and filled there's a guy in the white house who's good for you if you are unemployed? what matters is jobs and the economy. so i think for every measure of standard obama is a failure. back to libertarians. republicans had a chance that george bush and he was a failure, a terrible precedent. the only guy that i can think of worse than bush is obama. back-to-back we cut to her in this president's but once supported cattle some one without any question as a socialist. that is the question and the socialist as obama. libertarians haven't caused these problems. we haven't been in office. you can't blame us for the 100 trillion-dollar debt for every problem emanating out of washington, d.c.. we've had the solutions which will find in the book again and again, and we've pointed out the disastrous. what i said in this book is look at california. i said it years ago. california is greece. it will go bankrupt.

country to stick a fork in it. why? obama is practicing the california model for the entire nation and that is what is happening to the country and that's why there are no jobs. because in the end, my father the letcher have a right. my father the blue-collar butcher said i would love to hate rich people but nobody poor has ever given me a job. if you demonize and target and hunt and punish rich people and to integrate them all day they are going to go on strike they are not going to create jobs or making money or pay your taxes they are going to leave the country and who left this week after i said it? denise rich and she's not an austrian citizen. who left the country a month ago? the ai that cofounder and facebook and other liberal bleeding heart that left the country with his billions of dollars and is now in singapore resident these are the guys obama likes and they are running for him so that shows you no one

will be left if he is reelected. >> you write in the conscience of the libertarian the point of the entire book is the government should be stripped of the power to ban anything that is voluntary. >> that is the libertarian difference. we don't believe the government has the right to tell you what to do or how to live your life. i'm a guy who i think anyone watching would sit well with conservative. with a constitutional conservative. yet, when it comes to abortion and gay rights and all the social issues, i don't want government involved. i think it is hypocritical to say you are against big government and then said the government should tell women what to do, should tell gamblers the can't gamble on the internet. government should tell gays they can't get married. the government should stay out of everyone's business, bedroom and wallet. that's my philosophy. leave them alone to live their lives and make their mistakes. >> to of your heroes are president reagan and winston churchill. how have you honored them? >> and there's a third, barry

goldwater. a little more of a quiet hero not well known that he inspired ronald reagan. there wouldn't have been reagan without goldwater but he's the one we know. - and my third child remington freakin' root after my hero we and every day and not for fighting for smaller government. his most famous saying is the mine worst words in english language line from the government and i am here to help. fi honor him every day by fighting for smaller taxes and government and that is my philosophy. it isn't greedy for the american people to want to keep their own money. the definition is to ask it to steal it from those who are working and give it to those who are not. someone has to be willing to say it on national tv. entrepreneurs work longer hours and don't have jobs like the government employees we don't get summers off or weekends off four nights off. i go home and the answer e-mails. in the morning i answer e-mails

on my birthday on my holidays, vacations i only work eight hours a day instead of my usual 16. i deserve my money and worked for my money and earned my money and i create jobs and invest and pay taxes and make america go with my money and i'm not intend republican. i'm proud to tell america the people that think the money deserve to keep more. they are what makes this the greatest country in the world's history and being targeted, hunted, demonized and punished by barack obama and that is what is wrong with the american economy right now. >> the field to mention your name your fourth child after winston churchill. >> i happen to be jewish by birth and winston churchill's in america from that of hitler from the nazis with what i think i've got the most of come enthusiasm, energy. he kept england excited to get beat the british against all odds when they had no chance in the battle of britain. you know the history and i'm a

historian. i studied the leaders and generals and presidents. winston churchill the odds winning britain was zero but he kept the british people excited and enthusiastic and faithful that in the end god and his country would come through and in the and you've got fdr excited, the american people excited we joined the war and we defeated one of the greatest tyrant's the world will lever no. one of the most horrendous the world will ever know who killed 6 million of my relatives and there was a of hitler because tertial was excitable, had high-energy, believed in himself despite the clear after failure in his personal life and overcame and learned lessons and that is what everyone has to do that is one and a chicken or become successful. you fail and learn and get back up, don't ask for a bailout and that is what is wrong with the economy today. you cannot reward the people that fail.

it started under george bush you don't reward the failing companies on wall street. i tell people when you're mad at besio that makes $20 million a year, 50 million you have no right he doesn't cost taxpayers a dime but you can be met government employees could get 100,000 a year for not working the rest of their lives that comes from us the taxpayer but when the day comes to bail out the company and allows them to keep paying $50 million dan you've broken every principal of capitalism and taxpayers have a right to be mad that is the only area that i will ever agree. they're filled with the socialists and marxists and form on everything except you don't bail out capitalism ever. let them fail. that is the libertarian answer. >> you use blogging or subtitled and talk about god quite a bit in your book. but libertarianism is often not associated with relio
