protest in ohio when there is so much at stake this isn't the first time minor parties like the libertarian party or the green party have been attacked by the establishment for electoral losses in two thousand when al gore won the popular vote but lost the electoral college vote democrats castigated green party voters for choosing nader over poor and quote helping bush with in twenty sixteen when hillary clinton lost democrats pulled that strategy again blaming minor party voters and accusing libertarian party candidate gary johnson and green party candidate jill stein of electing trop and they added a whole new layer to their accusations bursa phobia party was central to this accused of undermining democracy u.s. intel communities exact words for hosting a debate between johnson and stein and showing americans that they had other choices besides the two establishment candidates a horrible crime apparently and then when an old photo of jill stein sitting next to blatter we're putting out an r.t.a. gallow went viral all hell broke loose his jill stein crushing the u.s. wall in russia in december t

one of the founders of the libertarian socialist caucus the libertarian party yes you heard me right a libertarian socialist and he is currently running for a seat in the michigan house of representatives struck yourselves in hawk watchers with this exploration of really interesting political ideology. in two thousand and sixteen where i felt i could make a difference in support. candidates in political action it was gary johnson that brought me in and. coming in and there wasn't any infrastructure of nobody in the area that i live in mccomb county there was supporting his campaign we had to and one of the biggest counties in michigan i had to help build up an affiliate and the entire time i got told gary johnson wasn't a libertarian he didn't belong in the party i don't belong in the party and i've been fighting that mentality that exclusionary practice that i think isn't limited to the libertarian party but i think it's very detrimental to trying to build a successful political movement. right but see from my understanding libertarianism is sort of the greatest advocates of privatiz

libertarian party welcome to the program now why do you think the trumpet ministration is starting to focus more of its attention on china right now. this is an absolute absurdity talking about china or even more absurd of the north korea or iran having the wherewithal to influence u.s. elections it's preposterous the people who are actually influencing american elections are the military industrial complex and teachers' unions if i'm elected i'll be doing everything i can to reduce or eliminate their power starting by bringing the troops home shutting down foreign military bases ending all the behavior of treating other nations with threats and violence and getting the government entirely out of education right now the actual threats that we see the people who are actually meddling in our elections are domestic not foreign now washington is also threatening to hit china with sanctions over iranian oil imports how likely is that is trump to greenlight those penalties against beijing. he's likely to greenlight them but it is a terrible idea poverty creates terrorism because poverty cre

there are primaries to come and a lot of libertarian party members on the ballot in various states.em about your overall message and philosophy, take it to local issues? >> the great thing about local issues is a lot of the wedge issues that divide us at the federal level, and sometimes the state level, they are not applicable to local politic. so you can get out there and talk with people. that's the most of important thing. electoral politics is all about division. generally it works like party a says the people in party b want to harm you, i'm going protect you, and the other cad says the same thing and that's way it's all about. i did try to have a message of unity. i'm not going to agree with a lot of things my democratic opponent says. it's a matter of the solutions that we choose to pursue. that's way it's all about. it's being solution based. let's quit yelling at each other and start talking about. the die flog this country is about screaming and yelling. instead of listen together other side. >> that's the other thing when you run for mayor. you have to be somewhat practic

of general motors and ford, and it is a difficult hill to climb in common terms, think if the libertarian party to find a presidential candidate to beat one of the major democratic or republican candidates, that's the kind of hill that elon is climbing i think he is one guy that can probably do it i for one am not too worried about him. but i share the view he needs a good strong number two and there's probably somebody out there. it is a matter of finding them. >> jim, i am surprised to hear you say that as the saying goes, space is hard auto manufacturing is even harder >> i had my feet in both camps i originally was going into the automotive industry. i left the space industry to start an automotive engineering company, and yeah, automotive is hard, profit margins are lower the vehicles are actually more complicated than a lot of rockets out there, and energetically they're quite different. to build this infrastructure and build all that goes behind a car company is a really, really tough problem. i told that to elon in the only conversation about tesla was he's got a big road ahead. and i t

borisjohnson comes from the libertarian wing of the party that he is throwing red meat to his base. is taking a few indicators out of the donald trump playbook, meeting with steve bannon... they playbook, meeting with steve bannon. .. they are meant to have conversations. i don't know how many meetings. who knows. this is the sort of thing we are not told. but he is saying that he is being himself, authentic and in social media era this is what you have to be. yesterday, camp johnson media era this is what you have to be. yesterday, campjohnson circled the wagons around him and said he had not gone far enough, and they should have banned the burqa. but we do not have burqa in this country, we have niqabs. photo here at he threw. is the prime ministerial material? he is like a soccer player 110w. material? he is like a soccer player now. everybody just material? he is like a soccer player now. everybodyjust knows him as boris. now this is interesting. basically the one child policy of forced sterilisation and abortions forced sterilisation and abortions for many years, three years ag

this is a fill -- philosophical movement between a populist leaning party and a libertarian leaning party woodruff: the government is now having to borrow money pay for what it wants to do. >> it's interesting the way these groups are fighting. on the one hand donald trump has given the kochs a lot of what they nt. not everything. mike pence is a very close koch ally. a lot of folks in the trump administration, because pence has a lot of authority over staffing, have come from that world. there are a lot of things the trump administrationas done on deregulation and taxes they've been happy with, but then there are parts where trump has more beiosyncratic personal views. it's fascinatinguse it's not just donald trump. donald trump doesn't have authority over spendingau. ryan has been pushing those bills forward. mitch mcconnell has been putting those bills forward. they're also upset with republicans in congress. there a way it gets identified and personified in donald trump. they don't want to be at oss-purposes with people they otherwise like, but it's not donald trump making all these s

caller: i still go out and vote and show my support for the libertarian party. other than that, we're never going to win that. a third party has never won. system andreform our abolish the winner takes all. host: william in suffield, connecticut. caller: good morning. i am very concerned about the upcoming election. based on thes performance of our president in the helsinki summit where he basically said that president vladimir putin had such great unbiased opinions about russian meddling in our elections. he was saying that vladimir putin had given his word. like we can take his word that itself in not involve meddling. ministration -- now the trump administration has turned a 180. stating that there was meddling. about not heard anything what we are going to do about it. my suggestion is, that we go to a full paper ballot throughout the united about what we are going to do about it. is some cyber stuff going on, it would not affect a paper ballot. burdensome in is terms of getting the results back and it takes a lot more time, but i would rather take a lot more

this is something that's very popular with civil libertarians in both parties.some of these players, who have the biggest grievance with this country and with whatever system it is they are protesting, they could sit down with lawmakers and the president and say, you know, here's a list of things that would make life better. you have mandatory minimums that are punishing nonviolent offenders. have you people in prison for consensual crimes. have you families that are ripped apart because they are introduced into a system they cannot afford to get out of. things like that with this criminal justice checklist that you can actually go down and make a difference. my issue with some these players and not all of them. they don't actually want to see a difference. they will not acknowledge when there has been change. we have to be, like dana said, working towards something and we have to move this conversation and this enpass to a new place. >> richard: i have one comment to what greg said about protesting at work. protesting at work is as american as american pie. thi

of the left they are committed to taking down donald trump conservatives the republican party as well as libertarians they do not care much for free speech they seek to blot out speech that they disagree with and they're willing to use the weapon of social networks they have weaponized social networks with the extreme russo phobia that we are seeing from democrats right now it's very likely that many people who believed that were correct may have correctly believe that if hillary clinton had been president of united states right now we could very easily be at war with russia the hawkish militaristic behavior of the democratic party today shows that they are very content to silence speech that they disagree with and to use any tactic that they can to shut down debate because they've lost the policy argument and now they're litigating this is why we see these investigations into president trump many people complain about the president attitude but i believe he's been under investigation nearly the entire time that he has been president of the united states i'd be a little grouchy too but like i said it

libertarian. the republican party is losing sight of those principles.s to me he might have been suggesting that trump in particular does not really promote the principles to the degree you would like. he cited things like protectionism, trade policy, and he made the argument that capitalism is inconsistent with strict immigration controls. >> why weren't we hear? how did we miss this? >> i know where he's coming from. it's a randy and objective critique. do you want to take this? >> this is the most conservative president of our lifetime, i don't understand -- what is trumpism? free markets, capitalism, putting power back to the individual as opposed to the government, where it has been siphoned, which controls 90% of the country's wealth and they do nothing? i don't understand what the argument is. it frustrates me, they come up with these terms like trumpism, we are winning right now, he is slashing 22 regulations for everyone regulation he finds and is encouraging entrepreneurs to go out and believe in the american dream, yet they are upset with the

he was nominated by the party this month after the previous libertarian candidate withdrew.nson is running against democratic senator martin hein rick and nick rich. does he have a shot despite his henri? could a libertarian win a senate race this year, suggesting johnson has already surpassed rich as the choice of both republican and independents. governor, great to have you back, fiscally conservative and essentially cool. yeah, thank you. here's the point, right, already fiscal conservatives in walk. there are socially cool representatives in walk. but there's nobody who is both. is that your void? >> well, what's at stack here is oeshlly being the swing vote in the senate. so if you've howeverer ever heard me talking about running for the u.s. senate. i said, no way, it's about bellying up to the trough. the last thing we feed is more spending in washington. deficit this year will be a trillion dollars. look at deficit spending where the key to success in zimbabwe would be the center of the univer universe. >> the question i'm trying to get at. you may sigh it's a sugges

i don't understand boycotts in general because as someone who's a libertarian and does not have use that line up with either major party, if i only consume things that were created by people who agreed with me, i would die. i would -- i would starve to death. i probably would not be able to show up in the shower and i like using soap in the shower. it's the best part. greg: it really is. kat: without soap you are standing there getting wet for no reason. greg: that is true. >> but conservatives don't boycott anything. liberals get upset over all he did was say think the president but i'm a conservative and i eat ben and jerry's and it's called commie crunch and i eat it.
