libertarian movement we are trying to attract libertarians to the state of new hampshire. we've been around since 2003 and the success stories are piling up at this stage, but what we did is in 2001, this gentleman who was a yale student at the time wrote an essay like what would happen if we put all libertarians in one geographic area. there are a lot of people who believe in the principless of freedom, but the standard in america were all over the world he had this notion if you sort of concentrated together in one spot, maybe we would be able to make actual differences and achieve liberty in our lifetime so i wrote about it back in 2003 and in 2005 at city college i decided, my husband and i were like let's move to new hampshire to see what this is about, so we moved out and the rest is history which you can read about in the a book. >> what's the experience as a part of this project? >> it's interesting. i grew up in south africa during the apartheid era. moving to the states, i had a green card back in the mid-'90s i finished my law degree and i always had a notion th

people ask audi to become a libertarian and i was like i thought we were pretty much born libertariann we get influenced or forced into some other kind of thing but for me it's just always been individualism and really trying to help the community but from an individualistic way and not from a top-down way. so with life in south africa again, we saw this censorship . words in the newspapers were bad. they were allowed to talk about certain words for the illegalborder words that were going on . we half mast deportations, my friends were forced into the military who didn't want to be there and they were traumatized by thatexperience . again, it's sad to say but i think that that experience in south africa and knowing what the telstar from the regime saying that these certain people were going to label us as either terrorists or extremists, and i've been called all those things and frankly i may be the only african-american anti-apartheid activist who voted for nelson mandela is now frequently call the white supremacist but that's where we are in america. i think that's a move to try to

like a big part of the libertarian australia con movement. but i only focused on this idea of selective adoption, really and idea that big coin is all the remnant of these, this archetype of person. that is, that is the one percent that makes the difference. and in this new one, i'm actually going to explore the, the psyche of the remnant and the masters, but also this 3rd archetype, which i call the, the parasite, which most people call elite. and i'm sick and tired of giving the parasites that designation ever uncles. and relates to be late implies that you're actually exceptional at something and you know, look, god and you know, yeah, no problem. couple years ago we came up the term can tell him air conditioning. ok, exactly. so, parasites, contina, that's a much better term, and calling them a lead, because they deserve that designation. and in their, my, my argument is going to be that the parasite archetype is basically a failed remnant, or a jealous member of the masses. so what they want to do is they want to sabotage those who add v

libertarians are -- they're the ones -- i love the idea libertarians, in my heart of hearts i'm a libertarians going to have to bail the bills and i'm afraid that's going to be me, and so -- >> and you have a heart. libertarians -- you met my friend kat timpf? >> i don't even mind -- >> harsh. >> that incentivizes better behavior, right? you have to be careful with charity. charity comes at a price, right? what you're exactly right. the thing that i think so many people fail to understand, especially in government, is that doctors might -- dr. fauci might be right about everything, that at the end of the day that still doesn't matter. he's not in charge. it's still -- we still get to make her own decisions, as you were saying, dr. drew, between us and our doctor, we make those decisions. but i think the real political thing that's going on right now is that with that statement that joe biden made about how the federal government is not the answer, he basically admitted in the political realm that the entire purpose of his campaign was a lie. this whole notion that he would -- covid was donald

kennedy: what about a libertarian?growing up in these high crime neighborhoods, it's awful. the criminals are responsible for the crimes they commit but you know, for over 50 years we've subsidized unemployment not working and single motherhood, we've subsidized the worst type of behavior and sometimes breaking up family on top of that we for a war on drugs that's created enormous black market where gangs thrive. on top of that, hyper regulate low job and trade markets with licensing laws making it out of for people to escape poverty. on top of that, they have abominations or of public schools meet or you would die before we would let our children be educated in these environments. you have gun-control laws that essentially sure only criminals have guns. on top of that on top of that on top of that, 1 million policies in a culture that glorifies the gangster lifestyle in this is the recipe that's resulted in this and it's nothing good. kennedy: marie must those are three solutions, you could just take three separate th

fairly or not barlow is considered a utopian are a libertarian the libertarian politics like dyson generally were very evident. newt gingrich is on the cover. so i think it's fair to say from your work and from the passage that you read that you do feel a connection with that legacy but what do you think is still active today? what should we harvest and what has aged less well quick. >> that's a great question. it's interesting because i've been in germany the past seven years. there are a lot of german thinkers who have very similar perspective to the libertarian thinkers in the us. of course there is more censorship here that's allowed given the history of the country but nevertheless they have a very similar bent especially with privacy and speech online. i do still hold those ideals dear. the early thinkers envision the right thing and they foresaw what a lot of government, including democracy, early i studied more societies in the way they control the internet for social media. we foresaw a lot of the threat that government posed. but at the same time, i think they failed to see what co

once the libertarian approach toimproving , changing collegeeducation ? >> i say we go back to adam smith in 1776 and that is there needs to be a greater connection between higher education i.e. the students and the providers, that's the administration and faculty. if you connect the payment mechanism to the product presented you actually have a financial incentive by both parties to improve the educationalsystem . right now higher ed is financed through a lot of third-party providers whether it's the student government or student loans or something like their parents paying for a student to go to college but there's not much of a financial connection to the students and the provider in the classroom or the university itself. what it does is it creates bad incentives to where each of these different layers and stakeholders in theuniversity system are seeingvery different things than the other and there's hardly any feedback mechanism to say whether faculty are delivering on what they promised . whether the schools bring the types of degrees they want . so

even my most libertarian friends still need community. where they differ is how much authority people should have over them. of course, the tension is to be in community is to bind yourself to other people and to create obligations for yourself. and most people choose to do that because the benefits of humidity are tremendous -- the benefits of community are tremendous. the more authority we can place in communities, the more choice we have. if you don't want to live in san francisco with the kinds of regulations and rules that san franciscans would like you can move to austin, charlotte, greensboro, north carolina and be among people who want to govern themselves the way you would like and we have that opportunity under federalism. but you do not have that once you've got a one-size-fits-all rules, from unelected people in the imperial city of washington, dc. host: tony's question maybe think of this passage.

what is a libertarian approach to improving and changing higher education? >> going back to the proposal adam smith first made that there needs to be a greater connection for the higher education and the buyers, the administration and faculty. if you connect the payment organism to the product being preserved and presented to them, we have a financial incentive on both qualities to improve the educational system. right now what we have is financed through a lot of third party providers whether it's the government or student loans. with each of the different stakeholders the university universitysystem is seeing veryt things and the mechanism to say whether the faculty is delivering the typey of degrees the students actually want so we have a payment system connected to the provision of the content between the students and the administrators we get to those entered and that is the signal of higher ed for what is provided. >> the u.s. news world report system reported some higher education? >> the system was intended to be in information to allow students and

what is your libertarian take on pandemic protocols? it's been a disaster. i have a good, a long time friend, a physician pharmacist in new jersey. and she said to me, wearing a mask to prevent cove. it is like putting up a chain link fence to keep out the mosquitoes. and she's been using all label protocols to treat people with colbert and prevent people from getting colbert. she's. she's worked with tele medicine, seeing about 2000 patients across the country. 5 have been hospitalized. i think one death of that 2000 patient load that she saw, which means that she has an incredible success rate. given that we're locked, we locked down the economy for no apparent reason to stop the virus. viruses happen all the time. the flu season happens every year we did like the economy. when we had that flu season, businesses kept open. no one was mess and the flu season came and went. a good at at the d. ology will tell us, wash your hands. don't be around people who will sneezing and coughing, and if you seizing and coughing, don't go to work. so where you want for th
