. >> yes, i agree, except what about gary johnson? well, he hasn't declared yet.our vote during there discussion? still about ten rand paul supporters? anything you want to ask our panelists? go ahead. >> i hear a lot of these candidates they're scapegoating foreign countries for a lot of our economic woes. >> china, it's all their fault. >> i want to know why most of the candidates won't speak about the real culprit the federal reserve and how come many aren't pushing for the bill like rand paul has. >> it sound complex and boring to most normal americans. you are not normal. >> also true. >> but the scapegoating, you are right, is real. it's also something that the sitting president has his spoir career, scapegoated china. >> who is next. >> a question for the democratic party representative. with obama doubling our debt almost 18 trillion given greece's situation, at what point is the magic number where we become greece? >> let me ease your anxiety right here and now. >> greece is a beautiful and functional country. >> one of the great things. >> i actually pre

gary johnson, a former third party candidate himself, joins us next.three hundred eleven people in this city. and only one me. ♪ i'll take those odds. ♪ be unstoppable. the all-new 2015 ford edge. watch as these magnificent creatures take flight, soaring away from home towards the promise of a better existence. but these birds are suffering. because this better place turned out to have a less reliable cell phone network and the videos on their little bird phones kept buffering. birds hate that. so they came back home. because they get $300 from switching back to verizon, and so can you! verizon. come home to a better network. >>> perhaps highlight of this week's republican debate came from the very first question when where the candidates were asked if they would pledge not to run under a third party if they did not receive the gop nomination. we all know what happened there. joining me now, 2012 libertarian presidential nominee and former new mexico governor gary johnson. always good to see you. thanks so much for joining me. >> alex great to be on th

in 201 1, gary johnson declared for the republican nomination. he was the former governor of new mexico and he was a republican governor. in december 2011, he said, i'm quitting this republican race. i think it's rigged. they've kept me out of the debates. i'm going to seek the libertarian nomination. and gary johnson got on the ballot in ohio. the same thing with john anderson in 1980. he stayed a republican. he listed himself in the congressional republican. that doesn't pertain to presidential candidates. >> so what do you think is the leverage here? do you think he can play this out in a dual way in multiple states? >> i do. don't forget ralph nader in 2008 got on the ballot in 45 states. and he is not a really wealthy person. i think he's comfortable but not wealthy. 1988 the new alliance party presidential candidate got on the ballot in all 50 states. perot did it without even having to go to court in 1992. >> how early -- several of those people, i would say nader and perot, though, were in party primaries, right? they weren't doing this t

so gary johnson said i used to go out on the trail and he said the biggest thing facing the nation is immigration and he said i don't agree with you. but he said that's there. he said that's the 8% and you bring in people who are attracted to donald trump for all kinds of positive reasons and that's how you get to a quarter of the republican comes about donald trump, and you quote roger stone saying his decision to become a birther -- this was several years ago, questioning the birthplace of president obama -- was a brilliant base-building move. so that question feeds into the idea of why. are these legitimate political beliefs of donald trump or are these political tactics by donald trump? because he's written books about dealmaking, saying you do what it takes to win. >> that's right. >> rose: either way, it's dangerous. >> he is enormously strategic, and that applies to his politics. we've seen this over the course of -- he's been talking about running for president since 1987. from 1987 today, he has been a democrat, republican, independent, now a republican. he has had an ability

all right. >> go gary johnson. >>> up next, movie of the future hits theaters today.ame an independent company. 1963 martin luther king, jr. delivered i have a dream speech. 1976 elton john along with kiki dee were singing "don't go breaking my heart". we've been singing it sense. welcome to fort green sheets. welcome to castle bravestorm. it's full of cool stuff, like... my trusty bow. and free of stuff i don't like. we only eat chex cereal. no artificial flavors, and it's gluten-free. mom, brian threw a ball in the house! he can not see through doors. his speed, anything but superhuman. but when it comes to health care options, george found helpful information and resources at aarphealth.com this makes him feel unstoppable. well, almost unstoppable. discover real possibilities at aarphealth.com today and tomorrow take on the world. . >>> it's going to be another big weekend at the box office. what is worth your time and dime? joining us fox news contributor and founder. >> great to be on. >> always fun to see you. what did you think about this? >> thrilling, scary t

i have got gary johnson on the ballot in 48 states three years ago.een on in all the states but we got bad judicial decisions in two states. trump has the capacity to do that if he wants. to that's not his preference. >> trump used that word, leverage during the debate and got criticism for it. what do you think that means to donald trump? what does he want to use the leverage for. >> to make sure he has a fair shot at the nomination. this is not about trump and trump's ego. this is about making sure he isn't treated unfairly. >> let me ask you about ego. because, can a guy who fights hard and pushes back hard if somebody in his view insults them, even a reporter asking a tough question, can somebody like that have the temperament to be president? can he be presidential? >> i think it is a question of roles. there is a trump maxim, which is also a stone maxim, if somebody hits you, hit them back, harder. i agree with that. but not if you are a candidate running for president of the united states. it is different if you are a real estate mogul or a cel

jump did not make a debate gary johnson did not make a debate. we're proud of where we come. we're going to do things that no one thought that we would do. it's another topic with the listen ers to go approximate into. the truth is that we want to do a few things. we want to limit the base. we did that. we want to have some say who the moderators are. we did that. so this idea of what companies decide to do with the corporate air time with what they have is a matter of law and that's their decision. one more thing and i then i will move on. all 17 candidates are going to be participating in debate night. everybody is going to have an opportunity. that's great for the party. >> okay. we are watching and we will hear a lot from you as this imagined. thanks for coming on meet"meet the press" press". >> thank you. >> let me bring in my partner in crime and catlin park er for the washington post and chris matthews. let me start with trump here chris matthews this was mild mannered donald trump. this was a clark clint. you have called him a super hero. >> a comic book hero. i think

i got gary johnson, working with others in the libertarian party on the ballot in 4 states three yearsould have been in on all states. bad judicial decisions. trump has capacity to do that if he wants to. not his preference. >> trump used the word leverage during the debate. got a lot of criticism for it. what do you think that means to donald trump, what does he want to use it for? >> to make sure he had a fair shot at the nomination. this is not about trump and trump ego. making sure he isn't treated unfairly in the republican dust up. >> let me ask you about ego. can a guy who fights hard and pushes back hard, if somebody in his view insults them, even a reporter asking a tough question, can somebody lack that have the temperament to be president? can he be presidential? >> a" of roles. there is a trump maxim and stone mixim. if some body hits you. hit them back harder. i agree. but not a candidate running for the president of the united states. different to be a real estate developer, mogul or celebrity television star. but in the realm of politics you would be better off to ignore

four years ago, do you remember jon huntsman and gary johnson didn't make the cut of some debates. there is a meritocracy involved but that being said, everyone is going to have an opportunity. i think it's great. >> thank you, mr. chairman. appreciate you taking time to join us this morning. >>> the roundtable is here now. former house speaker newt gingrich. abc's cokie roberts. democratic strategist maria cardona. and rep strategist kristen soltis-anderson. mr. speaker, i asked you about in mr. trump. you owned a couple of those debates. how are these republican candidates going to deal with him on that stage? >> i don't know. i think he's the guy that has the most to win and the most to lose. i think what reince described has a certain irony to it. it may well be that the folks who are at the 5:00 debate have a more interesting debate and a greater ability to get their message out and in an age of social media, they can take their best lines and get them out to all of their supporters. it may be -- i'm not saying it will. but it may be that the 9:00 becomes the trump versus ever

jon huntsman didn't make a debate, gary johnson didn't make debates. the fact is, we're proud of where we've come. we want to do a few things that no one thought we could ever do. as a nonstaging entity under the federal election commission law, which is another topic that would bore your listeners to get into it, but the truth is, we to want do a few things. one, we want to limit debates. we did that. the second thing is we want to have some say on who moderators are. we did that. so this idea of what companies decide to do with the corporate air time that they have is as a matter of law their decision. now, one last thing and i'll move on, all 17 candidates, chuck, are going to be participating in debate night. so, everyone's going to have an opportunity. i think that's wonderful for our party. >> chairman reince preibus, we'll be watching. i know we'll hear a lot from you this week as the spotlight goes to you and the rest of the field. thanks for coming on "meet the press." >> thank you. >> the panel, gerry seib, with the "wall street journal" poll

gary johnson republican candidate, gary you know what they're saying here that donald trump is settingself up for a third party run but this time if he were to do so we would have a lot of company, right? >> not only that neil but problematic run as a third party. you can have money in the world and there are rules and legislation that has been passed in states that if you go through the first primaries for example as a republican, all of the money in the world is not going to get him on the ballot in states that -- legislatively will preclude him from doing that and there's no reason why she shouldn't continue on as a republican because he is leading in the polls. >> but you know even when you go back to 1992 and got 19 bt of the vote he didn't get electorate votes so on that fen if you have a shot of making a popular vote and many republicans argue he took the electorate votes and he took in favor of bill clinton. but be that as it may winning the state out right and picking up up the electoral votes quite another; right? >> well, quite another. in 2012 i don't think most people reco
