6:00 am
democratic party or the republican party, which is the most anti-freedom, anti-libertarian -- or from a libertarian point of view, which is the lesser of two evils? mr. johnson: they are both equally, they both equally have their quirks -- warts. let's engage them in civil dialogue, the opportunity exists this election to really take from both sides and point out that each side has their strong points and that is with the libertarian party represents, the strong points on each side. [applause] larry: mr. peterson? mr. peterson: they call us the third-party mobile i think that we feel like we live in a one-party state, because they are two wings of the same bird. socialism, bailouts
6:01 am
and the war and the other one let's corporatism. the libertarian party is the second party and when i am president we will finally be a two-party system again. [applause] dr. feldman? dr. feldman: hillary clinton said that donald trump was not qualified to be president. donald trump said that hillary clinton was not qualified to be president. for the first time i think that they are both right. [applause] larry: mr. mcafee? mr. mcafee: the lesser of two evils is still evil. what we're dealing with our two machines, that is all they are. they have no heart and they have no soul and they eat up everything. we are not dealing with hillary
6:02 am
clinton or donald trump, we're dealing with two machines. would you rather be ground in a meat grinder or sliced and diced? i would choose neither. [applause] larry: mr. perry? mr. perry: they are both equally evil and to ask which one is the lesser evil is like asking my favorite std. i do not have one. [applause] mr. peterson? mr. peterson when does life begin? when should it be a crime for a woman to have an abortion? mr. peterson: i am not a doctor or a scientist, it most likely because at conception, so all humans deserve the right to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness and it includes the unborn. [applause] dr. peterson -- mr.
6:03 am
me, dr.? -- excuse feldman? i have my own very firm religious convictions, i do not mix dairy products and meat products, but i do not think that a cheeseburger should be illegal. we have a pro-life community and they should be able to enforce their rules on their community. we have a pro-choice community and they should be able to enforce their views on their community. and if they want to spread their message, they should invite other people by example to show what a wonderful community they have. it is not the job of government. [applause] mcafee?r. when does life begin and at one point -- at what point should it
6:04 am
be a crime when a woman has an abortion? mr. mcafee: i do not know when life begins. i do know what it means to be with a woman who is forced to face this choice. i know that early on, the fetus is indistinguishable on the body of the woman, connected by the same blood, said by the same nutrition -- fed by the same nutrition. it is a complex problem but until you are faced with the issue as a woman or a father, it is your choice. it is your choice. [applause] larry: mr. perry? mr. perry: the question of abortion is one that has been biased. i know that government should not be involved, money should not be stolen from anybody to pay for any abortion or any abortion alternative services. [applause]
6:05 am
larry: mr. perry, is there a point in your opinion where pregnancy -- terminating a pregnancy should be illegal? mr. perry: people should be allowed to adopt an unborn child, should they want to do so. larry: governor johnson? mr. johnson: i do not think that people realize the law of the land, the law of the land says that women have the right to abortion up until the right -- of the fetus. and they define it as being able to sustain the life of the fetus outside the will, that is the law of the land. that said, there should never become a penalties against -- criminal penalties against a1. how could there ever be a more difficult choice than having an abortion.
6:06 am
the issue should only be with a woman involved and i support the woman in making that most difficult of choices. [applause] dr. feldman? do you believe in any form of gun control. should a child be able to walk into a store and get a gun, what about automatic weapons like ak-47s? believe in gun control and a believe that people should control their guns. [applause] i think that criminals should not be able to get guns. i do not know how to stop them because they do not think to follow the law. [laughter] [applause] mr. mcafee, do you believe in any form of gun control? -- i amee: probably
6:07 am
probably the biggest gun advocate in the room. constitution has no limits, it does not say you have the right to bear arms, unless you are under 21, or unless you are a criminal or have a 15 round magazine. let your parents decide when you can shoot a .22. no control. none. larry: mr. perry? mr. perry: those that advocate disarming felons for life believe that humans cannot be rehabilitated. i have a friend that 20 plus years ago served time in prison for a murder that he did not commit, but he was involved in. those who advocate gun control say that he should not be able to defend hielf, his wife or
6:08 am
child. i support the right for self-defense, regardless of the past because i believe that humans can rehabilitate themselves. [applause] larry: governor johnson. mr. johnson: i do not. i have been a gun supporter my entire life. of new, as governor mexico, i got the concealed carry legislation, which at that time was cutting-edge. i stood up through our initiatives, to limit the number of bullets in the magazine, limit the caliber of the bullets that look, i am in the belief if you start limiting big caliber guns, only the criminals will have big caliber guns. if you're going to try to take guns away from everybody, the criminals will be left with the guns. [applause]
6:09 am
and the police. larry: mr. peterson. mr. peterson: i think that we need to control the government's use of guns. honestly, no. believe in a, i world where gay marriage couples can protect their weed filled with -- fields with machine guns. the constitution says, shall not be infringed. it does not say muskets, it says arms. we have the right to bear arms and will be protected under a peterson administration for once and for all. [applause] larry: mr. mcafee? should one have to get a government issued license to what about multiple spouses, where it anywhere would you draw the line? love oree: licenses for
6:10 am
to --r you choose ourselves before going to bed, what right does anybody have in the bedroom. it does not matter with the sex is or how many people may or may not be there. good lord. [laughter] [applause] no, absolutely not. perry.mr. where do i draw the line, when you force somebody into a relationship. all things consensual should be illegal, nobody should go to jail for anything unless they are causing unjust harm to another person. larry: governor johnson? initially, i said that we should get government out of the business of marriage, completely. wasit turns out that this in response to gay marriage and
6:11 am
the ability of same-sex couples to marry or marry whomever that you love, get government out of that business. it turns out that there are hundreds, if not thousands of laws, to actually contain the word marriage and that would have to be amended. hundreds and thousands of laws that would need to be amended, as opposed to the government recognizing same-sex marriage -- one piece of legislation, that was my then support of one piece of legislation. [applause] larry: mr. peterson? mr. peterson: i believe in the separation of marriage and state. [applause] businessnment has no interfering in private contract between conceptual -- consenting adults, no matter how many. larry: dr. feldman?
6:12 am
dr. feldman: i do not need a conceal and carry certificates, i do not need any kind of marriage license, i do not need a marijuana growers permit, i have a constitution. what i need is a government honors it and does not ask for licenses and permits and certificates for things that are none of the government's business. [applause] [cheering] i think they like your answer. mr. perry, north carolina passed thew that said, as for public sector, one should use the vacuum that corresponds with the gender on his or her birth certificate. how do you feel about that law? mr. perry: where does but angel
6:13 am
-- buck udo goes to the potty? most of you probably do not know who that is. it is a transgender cornstarch, -- porn star, and he now looks like adam could cash -- kokesh. the republicans say that he should go to the ladies room, but i think that is wrong. [applause] larry: governor johnson? mr. johnson: as governor, and had the distinction of saying more legislation -- seeing more legislation and all of the other governors combined. if this legislation was put on my desk, would have vetoed it. larry: mr. peterson? mr. peterson: socialists confused the decision between government and society, if it is a government building -- but private property owners should
6:14 am
be able to discriminate if they so choose and that is freedom. larry: dr. feldman? dr. feldman: as a physician i think it is a good idea to have two separate bathrooms, one for people who watch their hands and one for people who do not -- wash their hands and one for people who don't. [laughter] [applause] mcafee.r. mr. mcafee: i have traveled extensively and in much of the third world, you can use the bathroom in the street in front of everybody. from that perspective, i cannot see how anybody could care. i am sorry. it looks like -- [applause] mr. perry: it looks like a bizarre smokescreen to me, i am suspicious of everything. if we have that much attention on something so trivial,
6:15 am
something else is happening behind it. [applause] turn to somel questions about liberty. governor johnson, what kind of person would you put on the supreme court and should congress hold hearings on obama's nominee? mr. johnson: congress should hold hearings on the nomination. constitutionally, he did his duty and congress should do their's. [applause] always pridedave myself on the appointments i made and i always made it a point to personally conduct interviews myself, so with regard to judges in new mexico, vacancies that occurred, i think my reputation was that i appointed good judges. it was based on personal integrity, questions i asked, i
6:16 am
would ask the hypothetical. when you administer the death penalty for somebody who committed graffiti that legislature passed the bill, i and it wassigned it, passed, you could give some of the death penalty for graffiti. the guy admits to it and what would you do? a lot of names that, the law is the law, so i would send them to death. and others said, i do not know. the best answer was, if i had that situation, i would have to resign because i would believe that on ethically i could not administer that sentence. best answer. they got the job. they oftentimes got the appointment. larry: mr. peterson, what kind of justice would you put on the
6:17 am
supreme court and with -- should congress hold hearings on obama's nomination. mr. peterson: congress should abide the law. but next year when i am president, let's put -- on the supreme court. [applause] larry: dr. feldman? dr. feldman: i would appoint a nustice with a key mind -- kee mind, and knowledge and respect for the constitution. as far as obama's nomination of the justice, i want to support the congress's right to do nothing, it is the one thing that they do well. [laughter] [applause] larry: mr. mcafee? mr. mcafee: what good can any judge do if our system of law is broken. there exists in america more
6:18 am
readeran an average could read, reading for the four hours a day, seven days a week, for 600 years. why don't we have a budget for laws. and every time you throw one in, you need to throw one out. thousands of years -- does it matter if we have a broken legal system created by congress. jesus could not judge properly. [applause] [laughter] larry: right on cue. i do not know he was in the house. perry? mr. perry: they should hold hearings and they should vote and they should vote him down because all of the justices that
6:19 am
are nominated are horrible. and he would i nominate for a vacancy, there is a great supreme court judge in the state of arizona who is a libertarian, judge bullock. he would stand up for your liberty and i would put on the supreme court as soon as possible. [applause] larry: mr. peterson? ,r. peterson: reportedly some 83% of law professors are democrats, as a libertarian you must think that this has real world consequences, what are they? mr. peterson: i never met a democrat that i liked. the democrats are not the problem, it is the belief in the authority of the federal government. in order for us to have a freer society, it is -- the problem is not with the two-party system, the problem is that we have black and white thinking. we cannot always blame parties
6:20 am
for our problems, the problem is the government. [applause] larry: dr. feldman? if 83% of law professors are democrats, is this a problem? dr. feldman: democrats have oppressors mother i assume that they have some good people. -- oppressors, but i assume that they have good people. i assume that they have been appointed for a reason and just like the democrats and republicans, once we have a libertarian president, we will congress -- that is great, because i always was a libertarian. [applause] larry: mr. mcafee. 83% of all law professors are democrats, so how big of a problem is this? c. mcafee: i consumed over --
6:21 am
onsued over 200 times, so it is not matter to me. i believe that they are all the left-hand of same. -- satan. my apologies. larry: mr. perry? mr. perry: i am not concerned about how many are democrats, i am concerned about how many of them are horrible statists. it is not the lawyers and the law professors, it is a system that requires us to have so many lawyers. [applause] johnson, 83% of law professors are democrats, so how big of a problem is this? mr. johnson: i think that it is a percent of all professors -- 83% of all professors are democrats and libertarians probably agree with him about 75% of the time. this is the opportunity we have to bring together those opportunity to
6:22 am
bring together those democrats along with smaller government. in the road when it comes to economics, but if we can agree on so much, the discussion opens up to how government is oppressive and how we can change and actually accomplish lesser government. [applause] parentdr. feldman, if a chooses not to send their child to school, should the government intervene? dr. feldman: yes, the government should some -- send somebody over to see what a great job they are doing. [applause] larry: mr. mcafee. mr. mcafee: no, sir. larry: mr. perry? mr. perry: can you repeat the question? larry: if a parent chooses not
6:23 am
to send their child to school, should the government intervene? mr. perry: absolutely not. they should not be concerned about where a child is at any time. they cannot be intervening when people decide to let their child go down the street to the playground. [applause] larry: governor johnson? mr. johnson: no, the government should not intervene, but what we should have is encouraging educational entrepreneurs to have a crack at being able to educate that child in a way that would suit the parent. i see incredible opportunity in this country that has gone misse d. i think that education should be at the state level to start with. laboratories of innovation and best practice, but the states that will show the best practice is when they have competition for public education that would reach out to this kid and
6:24 am
perhaps satisfy the parents in a way that they are currently not being addressed at all. [applause] larry: mr. peterson. for too long -- mr. peterson: for too long, public education has been about indoctrination. i believe in homeschooling. i believe we should have a separation of education and state. [applause] mcafee.r. should all drug use be made legal or decriminalized, whether marijuana or hair when? -- her oin? what do you say to the people who think that it is -- it was late and wonder this? -- drug abuse? mr. mcafee: i have been imprisoned for drug use, that
6:25 am
has not stopped me or did not until the age of 38, it cannot stop me from using drugs. nothing will. neither would i use more if it was free. i used as much as my body would tolerate. larry: mr. perry. statutes forread fun and so far i've not read the word -- but i do not think that anybody would say that tomatoes are not illegal. whether it is cannabis or crystal meth, it should be as legal as tomatoes and there should not be regulation on how much you grow, sell, sell to your neighbor, give to your neighbor, wherever it may be, no regulation. everything should be as legal as tomatoes. larry: governor johnson. mr. johnson: in 1999, i was the highest elected official in the
6:26 am
u.s. to call for the legalization of marijuana. [applause] think that is good news. in 2016, i am still the highest elected official to call for the legalization of marijuana, although bernie sanders is advocating such and i think that have to do with his appeal among millennials. when we legalize marijuana, we will take a quantum leap in this country with regard to drug use. if we were to legalize all drugs tomorrow, the world would be a much better place. problems are prohibition related, not use related. that is not to discount the problems with abuse but that should be the focus. [applause] larry: mr. peterson. drugs areon: dangerous because they are
6:27 am
illegal. drug dealers do not check ids. when people take drugs they do not know what they are getting. if we were decriminalizing all drugs, we would be leaving that living in a stable world. you on your body and you should be able to put in what you please provide that you do not harm anybody else. [applause] feldman, should all drug use be made legal or decriminalized? dr. feldman: marijuana should not be legalized like alcohol and tobacco, it should be normalized like caffeine and chocolate. abusese is a medical -- is a medical problem, not a legal problem. we should make cancer illegal, hypertension illegal and we would have a much better and safer and healthier country. [applause]
6:28 am
mr. perry. a follow-up question, do you believe in legalizing all drugs and would you make certain drugs illegal for children? mr. perry: everything should be as legal as tomatoes, people are smart enough not to give heroin to a child unless they are under the supervision of a doctor. people should not go to jail -- i am guessing that you are defining a child the legal way, not the medical way, those are two different things. people are smart enough to not give horrible things to children. we will look at portugal, i am going over time because everybody else has. they decriminalized everything 15 years ago. drastically.opped
6:29 am
in this country people are afraid to get help because if they go to the doctor, the doctor will call the damn cops. [applause] >> doctor, will you make certain drugs illegal for children? will pass to legalize drugs unless it contains a provision that children are not allowed to use it. as a parent -- my message to my i would be naive to think you would not be trying these drugs. the problem with drugs is quality, quantity unknown. it's prohibition. love you.foremost, i if you find yourself in a position of being impaired, whether it's drugs or alcohol of any kind, call me. upill come and pick you because i love you. that's what we need to tell our
6:30 am
kids, that we love them. mr. peterson? the president has no constitutional authority to regulate drugs. i was supportevel legislation that would stop children from being allowed to purchase drugs and prosecute anyone who puts a child in danger. need protection. you should not be able to sell hair went to a five-year-old -- heroin to a five-year-old. we canfeldman, before sell a drug it has to be tested to make sure it's safe and effective. congress has a similar mechanism for laws. any law, theypass test it carefully to see its effect on campaign contributions. [laughter] parent would endanger their
6:31 am
child, there's worse problems in that family than drugs. we need to go to the root of the problem, which generally is only made worse by government. there's a lot of problems and a lot of suffering in the world. adding criminal punishment doesn't help. mr. mcafee, would you make certain drugs illegal for children, please? >> if a child goes out to buy drugs and the parent doesn't know where they are, it's a problem. if a child has money to buy drugs, where did they get it? when a child comes home stoned and you do not notice it, the problem is not with the seller of the drugs, it's with the parents. [applause] governor johnson, the civil rights act of 1964 and it discrimination in the private
6:32 am
sector and the public sector. senator barry goldwater voted against it for libertarian reasons. he did not feel it was the governments job to tell a private business owner what to do. senator al gore senior voted against it because he opposed integration. if you had been in the senate, how would you have voted? i would have voted for it. no elaboration? >> no. >> mr. peterson -- >>. >> repeat the question. of 1964ivil rights act and a discrimination in the public and private sector. senator barry goldwater voted against it, feeling it was in the government's job to tell a private owner what to do. senator al gore senior voted against it because he opposed racial integration. how would you have voted had you been in the senate? >> you're asking whether or not
6:33 am
i would have signed the civil rights legislation in 1964? yes, i would have signed it. peterson, would you have signed the civil rights act of 1964 which ended discrimination in the public or private sector? >> i would have filibustered until we abolished title ii and then we would have gotten rid of .he government discrimination been ineldman, had you the senate in 1964, how would you have voted on the civil rights act? >> i would hope i would look at it carefully, end government discrimination, and when it comes to private discrimination we need to find what would cause more harm, what would cause less harm, and do what makes life that are for people. that's a very difficult decision . >> mr. mcafee, would you have voted in favor of the 1964 civil
6:34 am
rights had you been in the senate? >> as many of you know, my wife is black. years living3 1/2 24 hours a day with her, i can assure you that legislation in no way and it discrimination. what it did is bring to the awareness that discrimination will not end until you open your heart and mind and judgment to a person of another color, another race, another language, another religion. allow me to give everyone a history lesson. the segregation in the south was of because necessarily racist business owners, it was because of racist legislators telling the business owners they had to segregate the lunch
6:35 am
counters. in virginia, it was business owners that help the protesters saying,the statute by come into my business. violate the law. that should have been outlawed. the forced discrimination should have been repealed. that's the only thing the civil rights act should have done. petersen, should someone have to have a government issued license to drive a car? mr. petersen: hell no. like an, a car is gun or anything else. as long as you're not using it to hurt other people, you should be able to use it. a license and permit is another way to get money and
6:36 am
inconvenience people. >> mr. mcafee? i don't think licenses are required. if you're under 16 and your n can drive and you've never driven before, you should at least put a flashing pink light on your car so we can get out your way. >> the government requires licenses for far too many things. the government requires licenses for people to broadcast radio. the government requires licenses to get married. they require a license to drive. what's next, requiring a license to make toast in your own damn toaster? .bsolutely not government has a basic responsibility to protect us against individuals, groups, corporations, foreign governments that would do us harm trade in that context, the
6:37 am
license to drive -- i'd like to see some competency exhibited by people before they drive. [boos] governor of new mexico, i vetoed a whole lot of bills. i vetoed the haircutting license. i vetoed all sorts of licensing. license to drive? have an you could insurance requirements i guess, but then the insurance company would determine -- you have people that are blind to would be on the road that would continue to drive until they hurt somebody. gentlemen, we've come to the end of the question-and-answer portion of the debate. you now have 60 seconds to make a closing argument. mr. mcafee went first. , you may go first.
6:38 am
ry: what i stand before you today to promise is that all the way through those -- the november election, i will act as boldly and consistently as loudly as possible, and proclaimed the ideas of liberty. i want you to help me make you the libertarian party libertarian again. if you want an actual libertarian on the ticket and you want to help the libertarian party actually be libertarian again, not with a watered-down message but an absolute message of freedom on every issue every time, vote for me tomorrow so i walk off of this stage the libertarian party presidential nominee. [applause] >> governor johnson, you have 60 seconds. got to run as a libertarian in 2012, something i was honored to carry that banner.
6:39 am
i thought my marching orders were to grow the libertarian party. i think because of your efforts, more than anyone else's, the libertarian party is growing. up your current weekly meeting that is occurring to an treehouse auditorium, because thousands of people are going to want to hear this message and at that meeting you can tell them, johnson is not our best candidate. we are, and make that argument. have an opportunity, and so many of you have worked for so long consistently to provide valid access with your time and your money. and here it is, we are at a threshold here. a real threshold to grow this party and make it better. at the end of the day, shouldn't we try and make things better? do we get from a to z? no. should we be able to articulate
6:40 am
z? absolutely. we if d comes up, shouldn't sign onto anything that makes things better, anything that creates more freedom? thank you. petersen, you have 60 seconds. i have a gift for you all. my home, my party that i've been in the last nine years, tomorrow. i'm prepared to give you a powerful, debt-free campaign with a serious strategy to win the white house in 2016. i offer this to you humbly, with love and affection, as sincere of the expressions of happiness and joy on the faces of my supporters. this is not a campaign about one man. it's a campaign about a revolution of we the people.
