presidential nominee from the the foreign party gary johnson he's in new mexico iran is currently besieged by international sanctions will this fresh set of measures forced tehran to be more transparent about its nuclear program. well i hope they are more transparent but i am the only candidate that does not want to bomb iran i think we should be looking at alternative methods of dealing with iran and sanctions clearly have not worked but being at the being at the table from a diplomatic standpoint it's in their best interest to not develop nuclear weapons i would want to be at that table but i do not want to bomb iran in deference to romney and obama i think both of them have their finger on the trigger right now what alternative methods would you suggest. well just the notion that trading partners make make for friends and enemies. the notion that trade is good you know we don't want we want to be friends with with the world elected president united states i want to declare peace and that's going to start out with iran that's going to be getting out of afghanistan let's bring the troops

absolutely not vote for anyone besides ron paul some libertarian say that they might vote for gary johnson. tend to i'm a very compromising person even though i'm a radical libertarian there are certain circumstances under which i would vote for mitt romney if for example the ron paul delegates are not disenfranchised at the tampa convention if there are significant platform changes made. in the libertarian direction if romney reaches out to ron paul's coalitions and says we want to include these people in the republican party and we want to have them be a part of the republican party going forward that might be the thing that would say to a libertarian who is not such a you know a total radical that they would say all right then this is worth working for this is worth this is worth spending my time on to continue to reform the g.o.p. but if the romney delegates disenfranchise the ron paul delegates if they push us out of the party if they continue to make trouble for us well then you can bet that a lot of libertarians and probably myself are going to go vote for gary johnson and we will d

i'm a libertarian republican and gary johnson used to be a fantastic guy. the ron paul supporters, there is a good possibility they will turn to the libertarian party. we need to get the libertarian party on ballots. the way the republicans and democrats behaved the last 20 years, it is disgusting. we need an alternative. we will have to work to do that. we need to make a change and i am hoping that people will take a more pro-active approach to the politics and stop the monopoly of the democrats and republicans. a profile interview we did with gary johnson as he was entering republican race last year is available on our site .or politics c-span.org virgil good is a former congressman from the central virginia area and this is how he accepted his party's nomination last month [video clip] >> as a key distinction between mitt romneyan't its and obama, his campaign fund- raising. they are clocks - hawks and they are adept at getting $10,000 out of couples for the primary and general election and really sharp and getting big money from big pacs. besides a few

i think libertarian gary johnson will pick up a fringe of them. ron paul people leave in what ron paul believes in. they trust him in a way they don't trust any other politician. i do not think that even if he wanted to could ron paul deliver his people to a mitt romney who they didn't believe stood for what ron paul stands for. >> woodruff: john ralston, we should point out that there is a libertarian party out there which ron paul is not associating himself with. some people are confused looking at this saying he is a libertarian in his thinking but what he wants is separate from what this party is asking for. >> right. gary johnson is the libertarian nominee. so ron paul is not going to go to the libertarian party. but i think some of his supporters will vote libertarian. i think brian is right. they are going to dissipate. they'll decide what to do afterward. i do thinkhough that ron paul running for president this time has gotten a lot more ron paul supporters engaged in republican party politics. they want to stay inside the tent. they want

that would have been the gary johnson law. i think it would have made a huge business -- difference. it would not have imposed on business. it would have provided a valuable educational tool to consumers. then i realized, at a point, i would leave office. the program would be so successful. the new legislation that would require stiffening calorie counting criteria. it was going to have to be very accurate and reflect protein, carbohydrates, and fat in the most accurate way. the point being alternately -- the point being 0 ultimately, my calorie counting would lead to the biggest bureaucracy and the government. i do not want to propose legislation to address obesity. education is obviously the key. host: the complex food analysis required on all foods sold in grocery stores, if you disagree with that? guest: no, i do agree with that. i think that is a given. back to education, it is key to understanding half of the obesity problem. that is your intake. the other half has to do with exercise. host: so that is a good use of gove

to get involved at the state and local levels and i think a subset of the voters will support gary johnson and libertarian party there could be some that support you know mitt romney and obama but i think largely it's going to be either libertarian or they'll just continue to focus at the state and local level so that they're ready for two thousand and sixteen do you think that some of them will just stay home and not cast their ballot and instead kind of prepare for the next time around yeah i think that's likely to happen in some cases definitely and i did see reports that there is a lot of talk about ron paul grooming his son for the next election to kind of fill his shares what do you think about that. yeah you know. rand has just started his political career and it's going to take some time obviously before he has the sort of consistency and proven incorruptibility as his father ron paul does but once he gets there you know this this you know small small libertarian group will have an even stronger force within the republican party and the foundation logan laid for rand to really take

endorse mitt romney i would be really shocked if he endorsed mitt romney i kind of see him indorsing gary johnson instead but maybe i'm wrong there is a whole thing as to whether he and mitt romney had some kind of unspoken a range because they were really lashing out at each other i think those kind of questions are going to keep being as the whole i'm going to be very very disappointed if he came out and endorsed mitt romney i just find but he was running on the republican ticket after all i was actually in your sunday buddy yeah i think i think that's probably the more likely case true move on to peter king peter king peter peter king. basically he you know he's the homeland security chairman he decided to have all the muslim radicalization hearings on the hill and now he's also looking into the secret service scandal but apparently he turned down meeting with the colombian prostitute that was in the middle of it this is her. home they were cool it was an overcurrent you guard that we. were they shot i thought asking for sex or were they very direct about very very. to their act did any of the

on this up really quickly i mean he's he's already come out and said he is not going to endorse gary johnson and he's kind of held off on saying as endorsement for mitt romney which i find strange but i mean where do you think the delegates are going to do once they're there i mean they're going to vote for ron paul. all right i'm going to vote for ron paul that's what they're there to do yeah i don't i think it is extremely unlikely that paul endorse romney to do so would dissipate the goodwill of his fans in a really dangerous a way would be a very foolish move for paul to do that well it's an exciting time for the g.o.p. and really to see where this is going well it's great that there is a change and a shift in policy and we'll definitely keep an eye on that was brian doherty senior editor of reason dot com the author of ron paul revolution the man and the movement he inspired so ahead here on our team it's a hard knock life for american inmates a new report paints a brutal picture at one of america's most notorious prisons and this is a single incident or the nation's norm that story nex
