or we heard from one of the leaders of the libertarian parties national committee who thinks this state polls decision is an example of silencing challengers. what we see right now is just an aspect of an ongoing war to silence all political dissenting parties and every state you see which ever parties are dominant trying to silence all possible challengers it's going to hammer them i mean we're told we're talking about something that's going to restrict access it's going to hurt donations it's going to really prevent ideas from spreading but it's going to hurt the american people more and hurt the people of new york more because the things that could improve their lives ranging from ending the drug war making home schooling easier getting the government entirely out of education cutting taxes increasing job opportunities all those great things that are offered by small parties like the libertarian party are now essentially off the table when you have 2 major parties who are borderline colluding on everything sort of reducing the number of political options and restricting things to 'd

[laughter] i am in a very awkward place. when i started to meet with all the presidential nominees i did so because i want them to talk about voter suppression and acknowledge georgia is a battleground state a very clear aboutut that. there is a guy named joe and suddenly there were rumors that i had to dispel on a show called the view that people heard mesphe say i never wantedo do this. that's not what i said you don't run for second in a primary. that's all i said. and then i said i'm not sure what i'm going to do when

the libertarian party is pretty established around the country can there be a possible libertarian candidateas trying not to bring him up. >> brother question is that that is the 23rd republican to resign or hold another office. are you worried about other retirees popping up. >> so the combined average of the republican favorability of those 23 seats that have retired i think we will retain most of those and 17 others will be battleground we need a smaller number to flip the house 19 that's a smaller threshold than pelosi had in 2018 and we have identified 8 million disengages that did not show up at the 28 team midterms so you look where the president one when he is on the ballot he will help with those candidates also that recruitment arm of the and rcc has done a phenomenal job. >> like wesley hunt in the houston texas there's a lot of big recruits that's much less than 2018. so that being said we want to win back the house putting the groundwork in place to do that and also california we can win some seats back. >> i don't know. looking for signs for organization justin is justin will d

i just thought of this but number one when you talk about a third-party candidate the libertarian party is already pretty established around the country and you have a possible libertarian candidate from your own state -- >> i was not going to bring them up but -- yeah. >> my other question is us. congressman peter king of new york recently became the 23rd republican to announce he is either retiring, resigning before running for another office. and this is unusually high at this point before an election. are you worried about other retirees popping up and including one from your home state of michigan? >> the combined average of the revolve again favor ability or the plex 14 over those 22, 23 seeds that have retired i'm not concerned about the retirement because i think will retain most of those seats and some of these others will be battlegrounds and remember we needed a smaller number to flip at the house and it's a smaller threshold than nancy pelosi in 2018 and we also had identified about 8 million distant gators who did not show up in the 2018 midterm who voted for president trum

two-parter, i just thought of this, number one, when you talk about a third-party candidate, the libertarian party is established around the country any of the possible libertarian candidate from your own state -- >> i was not going to bring him up. >> other question is simply this, congressman of new york became the 23rd republican to announce he is either retiring or resigning before running for another office. and this is unusually high at this point before an election. are you worried about other retirees popping up in including one from your home state of michigan? >> so the combined average of the republican favorability, a plus 14 over the 23 states that have retired. i am not concerned about the retirements where they are but i think will retain most of the seats in a well heard will be battleground. please remember, we need a smaller number 2-foot back house 19, a smaller threshold the nancy pelosi had 2 in 2018, we also have identified 8 million disengage yours who did not show up in the 2018 midterm who voted for president trump in 2016, so you look at when the president one and when he

party for 45 years. we have green, independent, libertarian, republican, non-partisan or constitution, but in san francisco, we only have one party for 45 years and that is democrats. there's no political equity for people by super pac. 2018, san francisco taxpayers pay $4.16 million in matching funds to support democrats and refuse non-democrats to go into forums. 2019, democrats and all of you sitting in here increase more matching fund to create a more government scam. and democrats' agendas created 21,000 homeless dying on the street and 25,000 drug dealers and abuses supported by taxpayers. and that is nonstop everyday and violence target minority people like the chinese people. 50,000 plus empty apartments available today and yet, the public officials selling more pondbonds to proposition a to ak for $6 million for only 2800 house and unions. the liberals, democrats have been operating a tyranny government for 45 years in san francisco. the united states constitution article 6, it is a violation for san francisco to operate such a government to abuse its power. you know sanctuary city and sanctuary l

well under a republican president, well under a democrat president, do well under a libertarian president. if any other partyto get relevance -- >> one of your big backers is peter's fund he seems like he has the president's ear. you say that doesn't have meaningful impact competing for government work? >> i don't think so. i don't think people in the dod take that into account the reason peter is investor in us is not because we agree on the president, it is because founders fund which is his fund was the first in oculus. i have a relationship going back with peter, he believed in virtual reality when there was never a successful virtual reality in history he is able to see when things will work before other people see they'll work same here. it is clear that the u.s. department of defense needs more companies doing strong technology work, saying we will stick with the government, we're not going to back down, we're not going to say we can't work with you because it is controversial. >> we appreciate the time. thanks very much >> guys, back to you in new york >> thanks so much, josh lipton with palmer. >>>

libertarians, or green party candidates ran against him. he is well-positioned. few other tweets and comments, a few other members of congress, this is senator marsha blackburn. a republican from tennessee saying today marks the official beginning of the mueller report do over. a democrat from florida saying i did not run for president to them -- run for congress to impeach a president, we will uphold the constitution today. a few more of your comments via text message this morning. this is billy new jersey saying regardless of what these things reveal, it will further divide a divided country. this is shannon out of palm city florida, impeachment is very serious which is why democrats brought a serious case fourth. when i was a kid he was asked to to impeach clinton despite clinton being cleared of any wrongdoing. this impeachment doesn't mean anything to me, president trump has my vote even if the democrats impeach. host: if you want to follow along during the course of the day, we invite you to download the c-span radio app. ourill show the hearing on website

. >> let's remember in kentucky there was a third party candidate, a libertarian who took 2% of the voteotes. >> i think you all have something to brag about if you look at the analysis. democrats voted heavily in lexington and louisville. republicans won five of the six races up there on the ballot. the northern suburbs on the southern edge of cincinnati swung to democrats by 6 or 7 points. they were with bevin in 2015, not with him four years later. is it a party issue or is it an individual issue? last comment. >> i think it's a party issue right now. republicans are having a hard time. here is what's really interesting. kentucky, the governor tried to make sort of a last minute hail mary pass by embracing the president and running against impeachment. the democrat did what democrats did in 2018, didn't talk about the president. he talked about obamacare. you had a democrat nearly winning right now up in kentucky running in defense of obamacare. that was the main message. >> don't you think the president helped bevin. he probably would have lost by a bigger margin. >> and the libertar

party like in 2016. you've got the establishment republicans beings libertarians, the populists they are all united now toey, these radical democrats are not going to be able to overturn the 2016 election and not going along with the nullification project and i've canceled my european trips throughout the world to star this with all volunteers right now from the trump campaign and people that supported president trump over the years that say as volunteers , we're going to setup and take notice and say hey this is not acceptable. maria: what is your reaction to what went on this weekend in iowa. you had the democratic candidates in iowa talking about their own agenda while also trying to trash president trump. i want your take on the current lineup. >> the liberty and justice used to be the jefferson jackson day. it's the single-most important event that will happen before the iowa caucus. besides bernie sanders, i listen to the speeches. of the next four candidates of warren and mayor pete and kamala harris and joe biden, i didn't hear impeached mentioned once. they think impeached, they say they hate tru

. >> no, and there also was a third-party candidate, a guy named jim hicks who ran as a libertarian,e took up about 2% of the vote. in the end, the split was 0.3%, about 1.5 million votes cast in less than 5,000 both made the difference. to say he is demanding a recount is a little oversimplifying, there is a process out here that involves re-canvassing, recounting the votes, and ultimately contesting the election, if it is determined there was a problem. one of the things we heard in bevin speech, if he determines the people of kentucky did, indeed, choose his opponent, he is going to wish him the best moving forward. it should be noted his opponent, democrat andy beshear, has already given his victory speech. laura? >> laura: mike, thanks so much. we will stay on this tonight, any developments. and a stunning admission caught on a hot mic today, project veritas released video of abc's anchor amy robach saying her network killed the story exposing jeffrey epstein's alleged sex crimes years ago. >> i had the interview with virginia roberts, we would not be on the air. first of all, i

have gone toward cosmopolitan progressivism in the republican party also lost touch with nationalism i think under the influence of libertarianismat values marketable borders. the influence of the business elite that's a little more transnational in its orientation the national social scientist talked about how the 19th century that business innovations and technological changes that created national affiliation international attitude over and above local attachments if you get trump on the teleprompter and you listen to some of the things he said at un i think they are unassailable. in advance the idea even poland sits in the worst place you can. and partitioned over the years subjected to the unspeakable wars during the 20th century, poland has never gone away. because of what in essence because the poems are so polished and that's the essence of point. the one common strain between trump. he wrote at a time when poland surprises occupied by russia stick to your tradition, stick to the culture and they will never be able to absorb you and that has been completely true. i think it's a deep moving truth. the problem obviously wi

libertarian candidate took six states? it's stunning stuff. that would have amounted to 37 more electoral votes. >> there will always be a third party, a fourthparty. you have to win with less than 50% of the vote. trump will do well in the states he would be last time. even the democrats are still worried. after thinking he stole the election, he obviously didn't. they are terribly frightened, who can beat trump. they don't think anybody can. lou: it's five 80s he would have won. let's turn to if we can the idea that this president has put 157 judges forward. can we look at that graphic? i'm calling for a graphic, folks. there we are. total judicial appointments. 157 by this president. 8 years of obama, 103. 8 years of bush, 156. he's already beat his predecessors. i think it's a metaphor for his achievements overall. he's done this in three years while others have taken 8 years to do far more. >> he's a good strong conservatives who believe in the way the constitution is written. he has a supreme court that should go in the right direction. my sense is this will be one of the many legacies, restoring dignity to the white house and repairing

is put in a baskets by any parties or group, it is assumed you will vote a certain way because of a characteristic you happen to have. >> he could' people too vote libertariany: that would be nice. >> i would like that. >> but he it not put on a garry johnson hat. >> we have not talked about that yet. >> you will get to him. >> you will see. >> i try to -- the premise of this hilarious, i spend three years, in the lead up to election then year and a half after, with republicans, mocking celebrity endorsement like jay-z did. and beyonce did not win it for you. >> just the other night. >> they get one, you got one person -- >> a antonio sabato jr. >> kid rock and -- >> fine. kennedy: there are a lot of people. >> i think someone from 90211. kennedy: brenda back in 1996. did site the pledge of allegiance that is dirty playing. >> republicans have one, they are screaming it from rooftops, and kmele is right this will not lead to a seismic shift, sunday service aspect, i like thats idea of encouraging people to connect with their spiritualty, a lot of people attend. or who are listening. that are not necessarily christian even, it is about connectioning to somet

having in our town hall meetings and house parties and different parties of the country where we have democrats, republicans, libertarians and independents coming together and saying, hey, we are all concerned about making sure we have clean water to drink for our families, that we have clean air to breathe, that we're able to raise our kids in a community that's safe. it is the hyper-partisanship in washington, unfortunately, that has created this gridlock that has stood in the way of the kinds of progress that i would bring about as president. transitioning our country off of fossil fuels and ending the nearly $30 billion in subsidies we as taxpayers are currently giving to the fossil fuel industry. instead investing in a green renewable energy economy that leads us into the 21st century with good paying jobs, a sustainable economy, investing in infrastructure and transitioning our agriculture that is a great contributor to the environmental threats we face, towards an agriculture system that focuses on local and regional production of food, healthy food that will actually feed the health and well-being of our people.

i tend to be more libertarian, more than joe biden, but we have been studying this for quite some time, many years but it does feel out of step with the emerging democratic party but for the old regarding the old-school i don't imagine it will hurt him among his base. >> prohibition is a gateway to racist policing practices and mass incarceration. does biden sound out of touch with young voters? >> he does. i totally disagree with prohibition on cannabis, the failed policy of the drug war long before richard nixon, it has been abused horribly in this country in racist ways as the representative tweeted out but i understand where joe biden is coming from. he is for decriminalization, expunging records, letting people out of jail who have been convicted on marijuana, that is the right move. he does risk not generating the excitement in the under 40 crowd in the democratic base. mike: thanks a lot. republicans still sounding unified on impeachment but how about democrats? brit hume is on deck to weigh in as nancy pelosi tries to reel in the ranks. it's not just easy. it's having-jerome-bettis- on-your-flag-football-team easy. go get 'em, bus! ohhhh! [laughing] c'

to call it left her a libertarian the issue, but i think we've been studying this for quite some time. but it does feel a little bit out of step with the emerging democratic partyt for the older guard and the old school, i don't imagine it will hurt him among his base. they are tweeting prohibition is a gateway and does bite and risk sounding out of touch with young voters? >> it does end, i totally disagree with prohibition on cannabis. it doesn't work, and long before richard nixon, it has been abused horribly in this country. however i do understand where job biden is coming from and at least, i will say this, he is for decriminalization, and he does a risk not generating the excitement in the under 40 crowd in the democratic base. >> mike: gentlemen, thanks a lot. republicans are still sounding unified on impeachment but how about democrats? brit hume is on deck to weigh in as nancy pelosi tries to reel in the ranks. but this season, a more thrilling journey is calling. defy the laws of human nature. at the season of audi sales event. and now for their service to the community, we present limu emu & doug with this key to the city. [ applause ] it's an honor

party also lost touch with nationalism. i think under the influence of libertarianism that values markets over borders under the influence ofa business elite a little more transnational in orientation the national samuel huntington the late social scientist talked about how the 19th century with business innovations and technological changes that created a national affiliation and national attitude over and above local attachments and local affiliations in the late 20s and 21st century that the same kind of technological innovations in business changes have created more of a transnational attitude. finally, george w. bush overly idealistic emphasis on his foreign policy. all that meant the party lost touch with nationalism to some extent. he had this kind of baton on the floor and trump picks it up and impulsively instinctively, accidentally, whatever it is, that accounts for a lot of debate but it goes deeper than trump because brexit was a major event that happened before the election of donald trump. it just goes to the question the eu the potentiates and the eu think that it's nationalism and the nationstate that cause
