you know, i think the green party, or green party members, and many libertarians, identify the same problems that exist within our politics and country. but the solutions are going to be rooted in the free market, in private. whereas you are going to see a much heavier hand coming from government coming from the green party. he's like huge amounts of government subsidy and climate change and things like that. so, it is really about the philosophy of where government should belong. i don't think government needs to be used to solve the problems of today and i think any times government is inefficient at solving the problems we face. and that can be much better done around individual cooperation with other people, voluntary exchange, and organizations outside the structure of government monopoly of force, which it enjoys. host: if you would like to call in and ask a question, make a comment for our guest, chase oliver, the presidential candidate for the libertarian party, you can do so. our lines are spit -- split up by party. republicans, (202) 748-8001. democrats, (202) 748-8000. independent

the green party has audit audit plate. but that said, i also don't think the green party legitimately has a chance at this stage in 2024 to be begin to your aunty. but that said, i think it's important that we make this our year to start putting our effort into other parties. so that way we can build those up over time and hopefully that they have a chance that's to democracy. having more candidates on the ballot for voters to choose not to big machines. whittaker party to choose coming to harris will be officially confirmed as a democratic presidential nominee at the policies and national convention in chicago. this week can be how could, has more hobbling harris is already the democratic parties nominee for president of the united states. but this week it becomes official. she can make one hell of a present. so the democratic national convention in chicago is really just the ceremonial event, vice president connell, a harris already secured 99 percent of democratic delegates earlier this month. in a virtual roll call vot

the green party has audit audits, plate, but that side, i also don't think the green party, you know, legitimate. we have the chance at this stage in 2024 to beat the dns here aren't c, but that's that. i think it's important that we make this our year to start putting our effort into other parties so that we can do those up over time. and hopefully that they have a chance that's true democracy having more candidates on the ballot for voters to choose not to big machines. winnable parties to choose are you optimistic that they will be a ceasefire sometime soon? we keep hearing from the white house and elsewhere is going to be a cease fire coming soon as it happens. yeah, i mean, i think it makes it a lot harder for there to be peaceful. you're after it's real, goes in and kills the main negotiator on 1000 inside. you know, a lot of people talked about how the mosse leader has been killed, but others don't say that that was the lead negotiator for palestinians at the time . and so how can you come to a scene, you spell your deal and a negotiation with the other side when you go and kil

that come about that and until she can do that, joe stein will have my vote in joe stein is with a green party. so it's 3rd party. and you were saying earlier, you think it's important that 3rd parties in the us grow? yeah, exactly. i don't agree with all of that. the green party has on it's on it's a plate. but that said, i also don't think the green party, you know, would you to me when you have the chance at this stage in 2024 to be 50, into your auntie. but that said, i think it's important that we make this our year to start putting our effort into other parties. so that way we can build those up over time and hopefully that they have a chance that's to democracy. having more candidates on the ballot for voters that you're not the big machines winnable parties to choose the ukraine submit it to the sizes activated. a defense units in the capital to a pallet tax by russia. he says they were engaged and on monday morning, witnesses have reported the hearing loss on the outskirts of keith. meanwhile, the russian strikers killed one person in a village and assuming region. now, where are you

the legal effort of the american democratic party to remove the representative of the green party was unsuccessful. jill stein, who is a supporter of palestine, represented the green party in the us presidential election. the student gathering of supporters of palestine was arrested. the american police knocked him down and then handcuffed him . legal representative. the democratic party has filed a lawsuit against the wisconsin representative who, based on ahnesti , cannot run for the next presidential race. of course, the wisconsin court did not accept this complaint. what happens is similar to there is no democracy. i was banned from entering the university to support the students who stood up for us all. they have risen to defend our civil liberties. they are more into pasta than into genocide. protest the genocide that is taking place in our name and with our taxes. the american people do not agree with this. a significant majority of the people are against this nastaki that is taking place. russia announced that european countries will have to pay more if the contract for gas ex

to me ask you something about being a politician for the greens here in germany. your party stands on military support for ukraine. considered by many to be very hawkish. how much do you think that this is contributed to the greens decline in recent polls here in europe? i think it would be a great mistake. i'm considering questions of defending democracy and freedom just from trying the party to put it to good issues. and it is a mistake for all the accreditation. so one could use the defense oh democracy to fucking kind of where they put it to his trial. so we wouldn't have great wisdom failure when we do that. so this is actually not the question for me. what i, yes, is that there is to be supporting the green votes us. so i think this is the biggest support for strong support for ukraine. and we have very yet in our cost, but it's not because we think that because we want the pushing is the only one who runs a lot. and the military systems to ukraine is part of texas military assistant documentarian systems. we can only get assistance, the empty diplomacy, wherever that

i think you will like what you see. >> a look at a conversation from washington journal with green partyee jill stein. she talked about what set her apart. >> we are a people powered party. we don't take money from corporations, from billionaires. we don't use the big loophole that biden, harris, trump, rfk, all the big candidates use these big loopholes. a single donor can write a check for a million dollars that gets laundered into the campaign, which means that powerful people can exert a lot of influence from the inside. so we are basically the one party which is not taking legalized bribes so we can actually stand up for what it is people want. health care for everyone as a human right, which is through a system that is way more efficient, cuts out the middleman, the red tape and the bureaucracy, saves a ton of money while it covers everybody. we can bring down the cost of housing, built the housing that we actually need. we can and student debt, make public higher education free and above all, cut the bloated military that is eating up half of our congressional dollars and spending

let's bring in till steph and he's a member of parliament for the green party. that is, in order to show as cold as in government, he joins us from humbug, with the stuff, and the suspect entered the european union for the 1st time in bulgaria, and should have been deported there from germany long ago. why is it not possible for germany to simply implement its own laws? or we have all the rules with needs that in fact um they, they didn't succeed in proceeding with them because um, when they tried to meet him at home and then the event should have some help to assess this problem for him at the didn't actually, and of course, we need sufficient in managing of our tools and that's necessary if we want to have sufficient proceedings in order to, to send people to those countries. well, they should have that camera play for us. how them me now talking about the posting people, germany generally does not do for people to syria or after on this time. why's that? um it's basically just the fact that they are in danger because that's a terrible ball going on. a support

i have jo stein here, the presidential candidate for the green party and tell me why you came to this particular approach. yes. yeah, so as, as you can hear, going on behind us, we hear testimonies from people who have been marching for actually almost 2 weeks . they have march, almost a 100 miles coming from milwaukee wisconscin to come to the d. n. c, to basically protest for redress of grievances and that's what we'll be doing just in the next few minutes. but what you hear people talking about is the desperate lack of housing. many of the people here are actually on house, on the desperate need for health care, on the poor quality of our schools, on the debt that people take on if you're going to go to college or even technical school so that they can have a secure job and you know, not to mention that the military is consuming half of our congressional budget costing your average american household now. 12000 dollars this year alone. so we have a government that bought and paid for by the biggest, you know, bankers, billionaires and, you know, fossil fuels, the war industry that

that come about that and until she can do that, i just, i will have my vote in jo stein is with a green party. so it's 3rd party. and you were saying earlier, you think it's important that 3rd parties in the us grow? yeah, exactly. i don't agree with all of that. the green party has on it's on it's a plate. but that said, i also don't think the green party legitimately has a chance at this stage in 2024, to beat the dns to your aunty. but that said, i think it's important that we make this our year to start putting our effort into other parties. so that way we can build those up over time and hopefully that they have a chance that's to democracy. having more candidates on the ballot for boulders that you know for the big machines, little party to choose. now the philippine and chinese coast calls have blamed each other after a collision in the south. china sea facing says the philippines deliberately crashed into his vessels on monday morning. well, manila says it ships were damaged when the chinese conducted was at coals, unlawful and aggressive. the name is richard doran is a political scie

that come with that that and until she can do that, just i will have my vote in jo stein is with a green party. so it's 3rd party. and you were saying earlier, you think it's important that 3rd parties in the us? correct? yeah, exactly. i don't agree with all of that. the green party has on it's on it's a plate. but that said, i also don't think the green party either legitimately has a chance at this stage in 2024 to beat the dns to your warranty. but that's that. i think it's important that we make this our year to start putting our effort into other parties. so that way we can build those up over time and hopefully that they have a chance that's to democracy. having more candidates on the ballot for voters to choose not to big machines, winnable parties to choose to the head on knowledge of the titans full upon minnesota is an in a case where he is accused of insulting. the mama key would have a live update from bank call and product has to change the in india phase of the training to the the, the really hold bits of your typically we talked about the balkans up through good part of central

of american pershings in europe, they staged mass demonstrations, it was on on this basis, the green partyn the eighties, was then elected to the bundestag, now they have degenerated and become distorted. exactly the opposite, what do you think, karina alexandrovna? ​​you know, i generally get the feeling that she doesn’t care at all what to say, if she were reading a phone book, the effect would be the same, only worse, just maybe she would intonate less successfully, that’s because of course they can, we must take these issues seriously, and germany, which invests in its security, the question is, what will it invest in its security, taking into account... that's amazing, we don't write such things here, but nevertheless, there is no sufficient energy generation with the energy factor with resources in the united states itself, which, of course, i cannot verify this data, but if the united states buys heavy water from iran, which is under sanctions by their own country, now they were negotiating the purchase of enriched uranium, which iran... one like that, that's why there is absolutely

stein, the green party candidate uh, but i would uh hope that uh camela harris did not get in because she will continue uh the uh war in ukraine, but for everywhere else, i see no difference between the two of them, both have an identical attitude towards israel, palestine, both have an identical attitude towards china to, towards iran, towards the bricks. towards venezuela and i take my hat off to the newly victorious president nicolas maduro uh re-elected for another six-year term as president of venezuela, but the attitude of both of these main parties to all these global south uh countries and issues and conflicts is exactly the same, so no difference except on ukraine, but ukraine is one hell of an important. difference, let's go to keith tordof, mbe, a retired 20-year policeman and businessman in north yorkshire. welcome sir, what's on your mind? good evening, mr. gallaray, and thank you for inviting me on, uh, my friends from the sweet center restaurant on lum lane in bradford send their greetings to you as well, wonderful place, wonderful place, yes, thank you, um, my question

and by merkel trying to avoid the green party, she triangulated off those issues. she decided to take up all of the green party issues on energy and locked germany into a really bad position where they needed this nordstream two pipeline from russia. and merkel would say you americans don't understand our relationship with russia. we can control them. we have a different relationship with them. and she was wrong about that. and, you know -- guy: they acknowledged that they got it wrong, do you think? ric: first of all, not enough. not directly. some are saying, you know, we got a different policy now and that's the most that they would go to. but i think it's really important to tie this in is that chancellor merkel begged president trump to drop the trump sanctions on putin's pipeline, the nordstream two pipeline. we had sanctions on it and never became operational under the trump administration. we were adamant and we took a lot of hits from the media for being mean-spirited about this, even from the u.s. media. merkel kept pushing and we kept saying no. when joe

the 40 states that aren't swing states, definitely vote for jill stein, definitely vote for the green party or, one of the actual opponents of this genocide, but i i really don't know if you know is how could it be even worse than uh than holocaust, harris or you know genocide joe trump, what's he going to be, is it you know i don't know it's going to be even worse maybe, but it's been incredibly. shockingly bad, so as that your your take on that? do you see a difference between the two major parties in the united states when it comes to the palestinians and also when it comes to this genocide? you know, trump came with the deal of the so-called deal of the century, and he said jerusalem is the eternal capital of israel, and then he he said he moved the embassy, and then he denied all our rights. and he wants to perpetuate our slavery forever and no rights for the palestinians. this is trump. now piden said that he was a sionist and israel were not there, they would have created israel, which means to create israel to den the palestinian people, and the aim of the zionist movement is to eth

they will not end overnight. more of them than all other factions combined in other words, the green party is the party of its people , but for some reason the most powerful opposition among the people's deputies is the servant of the people. it is possible to talk about the quality of the deputies that the servant of the people party brought to the verkhovna rada. thank you, thank you, mr. vitaliy, mr. valery, i have the impression that this whole story that started after dmytrok's escape, when uh... the security forces are gathering, generating some kind of solution, trying to find an answer, and why did this happen again , then it's just a game for the public and nothing more than the president zelenskyi, because if they really wanted to imprison that kid or declare a criminal case against him, they would have done it in the hall of the verkhovna rada, when they voted on this law on the ban of russian religious organizations on the territory of ukraine. because dmytruk played one of the first violins there, who stood on the podium, talked about the fact that it is not necessary to vote

course other candidates, let's remember there is jill stein, the the green candidate, and unlike the green party in the uk, which is staunchly signist now, uh, jill stein is critical of the israel lobby and critical of their impact on on politics in in the us, problem with us politics is that designers are so heavily embedded in the political system, not just in terms of the the lobby, but in terms of the actual embeding inside government departments uh inside the uh the political apparatus, such that it's very, very difficult even if part party or a policy was to come through which would be antionist, then you you have all these this kind of dead wood of zionist common sense within the treasury department or the department of state etc. is that support you think from these uh us politicians inate as it were, or or are they just playing to the zinanis gallery? no, mean it's there are some who are who are true believers, whether they that comes from a christian signs perspective or from the traditional kind of jewish zines. perspective and there are some who are career politicians who who get int

head of the german ministry of foreign affairs berbeck, you know, she is a representative of the green party, she was categorically against the release of kask and believed that it would be a disaster, morally, and olaf scholz and anthony blinken and all the others convinced her that no, people's lives were more important than. such things as let krasikov sit there in russia, but the main thing is that we release american citizens and your citizens, german citizens, but one more important humanitarian component was added, that is, russian political prisoners, and even more, in principle , the west considered that if you change, say, krasikov to navalny, then germany will not have any special issues at all, because you know that... "navalny's fate was taken care of by angela merkel personally, after his poisoning, his were treated in sharite, and if it happened like that, you see, they release krasikov and along with it american citizens navalny, several more russian politicians, then this would not cause any indignation of public opinion, and they believed that putin is even ready to go for
