mandate different faces we need something new and fresh and this is why people need to realize the libertarian party is here where the 3rd largest party in the united states and we want to have the opportunity to prove to you and we are about the people not like everybody else who tells you that they are just to get elected and as we've seen even with donald trump * you know he was able to prove that you know at the end it day it's the corporations it's the lobbyist is the people that they all favors to and it's never about the people and this is the reason why i'm running for president ok well that. you can use this is a sound bite ok in an ad police do and you were disagreeing with my my characterization of impeachment go ahead. look i think impeachment might be a political mistake because it's obviously a means to rectify what a political loss by the democrats you think that was but that's what it invoked when they were hounding clinton for being a democrat and having been elected and i got no time for clinton either but the impeachment there was a much less substantial grounds and what trump is

joining us now, chairman of the libertarian party, nicholas sarwar. >> great to have you on.o ask you. let's start with the question about civil liberties. and balancing that against public health. obviously, the more draconian approaches that are taken, the more americans are required to separate over the next several months. i mean, health care officials just say it's the more likelihood we have of avoiding a worst case scenario. how do we balance that in america? we obviously know china takes draconian measures we could never take but how do we balance that to worry about public health safety while protecting civil liberties? >> you know, i think what we have to do is follow the advice of dr. michael osterholm who is an infectious disease expert who points out this is not a coronavirus snowstorm. we don't hunker down for a couple of days and come out after this is over. this is a coronavirus winter which means we'll have to figure out how to live our normal lives as americans. and i think the most important thing that's just started to happen is giving good, accurate infor

. >> you might have a small libertarian party as well. it depends. ou could see more or fewer parties. people will vote based on the parties on offer. but there's nothing secret about just having two parties. >> you make a very good point in the book which i appreciate. which is that our electoral rules, most of it is not set in stone. frankly, none of it is. can you talk a little bit more about - - because it was so refreshing to read about the shifts in our democracy.can you talk about why, we don't have to be bound by two parties. >> there's nothing in the constitution. the only reason we have two parties is because we're plurality voting system. the framers unthinkingly imported that from the british. at the time, it was the only system available and it was a constituent based candidate based system. it seemed like, that's how we vote. tremendous innovations in electoral rules have created systems that are fair and more representative.i think we can certainly benefit from the advantage of some of that innovation. and throughout our history, we hav

. >> joining us now, chairman of the libertarian party. you for being on this morning. >> nick, what works in china, obviously does not, should not work here, the united states of america. one of good pieces of news is bipartisanship in the most dramatic way. mike lee is saying over my dead body this will never pass. the doj is pushing for some pretty radical powers right now. >> this is exactly the wrong response for this kind of crisis. the issue with the spread of the pandemic is proximity. it's not a public order issue. putting people in indefinitely detained inside a corrections facility or a jail is exactly the wrong thing you want to do if you're trying to stop the spread of an infectious virus. >> jonathan? >> nicholas, we're seeing this as joe pointed out rather loudly rebuked from both sides of the aisle, but we are, of course, seeing changes to american society. this is, you know, we have guidelines from the federal government. we've seen states order shelter in it places. and the president sel said he'll re-evaluate after 15 da

. >> this is the former treasure of the libertarian party of san francisco. i want to call the board's attention to assembly board 872, the public banking bill and this is a new tool available to municipalities, to county treasuries and the local agency investment fund and state treasury's office, to really create more local money for purposes. money is really a public utility and i know as a libertarian, i'm somewhat on a pariah in terms of advocating for public banking, because that's because most people don't understand money. that's the city borrowing instead of the bridge loan and there were she unanimou shenanio through cash reports in terms of the way they bridged the funding. i kind of know what he will do. i have serious questions about his integrity, i really do. there hasn't been any movement into looking into the city cash provider front organization that is going on and the most i can figure out, he's probably some sort of national security placeholder for gavin newsome. the thing bothering me is the talk of low hanging fruit without information.

time got four and a half million votes, which is triple the previous test showing of the libertarian independent partye will be no questions about where my votes were coming from. i am an economic conservative and republicans traditionally work and mr. trump is not. he really has set his face against the rule of law. i spent seven years working for ronald reagan trying to keep politics out of the justice department. mr. trump is trying to pull it aside. it's the justice department. a very deep issue. i wanted to run straight against donald trump and that is what i have done. neil: you know, governor, your critics they would say you are very good governor. in massachusetts you kind of have to do. the bigger issue is your type of republicanism, if you can excuse that phrase, it is out of fashion and it will be even more out of fashion if the president is reelected. a guy like you, no offense because the older i get the older i recognize, you are a dinosaur. what do you say? >> well, i hope that decency and integrity and kindness do not go out of fashion and stay out of fashion which is one reason why i

if you are a no party presence you might vote if you could vote in the presidential primary. that depends. democrats let you do it and libertarians have open primaries. they do allow unaffiliated voters to vote in the ressal primary however you have to request a cross-over ballot to do that. republican and green and peace and freedom parties do not allow unaffiliated voters to vote. this is a lot of information. you probably haven't had a sip of coffee yet. so we'll put this on our website at nbcbayarea.com in case you have any questions. if you have any questions we have not answered hit me up on twitter or facebook at kris at nbc. >> thanks, kris. >>> our website is a good resource as you prepare to cast your ballot. we have a voter guide highlighting issues in every county, just head to nbcbayarea.com/election guide. >>> 4:38 and today a vote meant to clear the way for the planned upgrade of the sinking millennium tower. it involved propping up two sides of the building as our unit as reported the building has sunk two feet since opening. they will close sidewalks around the busy intersection at mission and fremont. there are

and maybe you are a no preference party voter and you can vote in the presidential primary here in california. that depends. the democrats, libertarians and the american independents have opened up primaries and do allow the unaffiliated voters to vote for the presidential candidates and what you have to do is to ask for the crossover ballot to do that. the republican party and the peace and the freedom parties do not allow unaffiliated voters to vote in their primaries. the santa clara registrars are expecting higher turnout because of the centers to make et easier to cast the vote, and every single voter in santa clara got a mail-in ballot which tends to increase the voter turnout. these folks are busy now, and they are likely to be working through tonight and tomorrow. so if you are wondering why it takes so long, this is why. these things, a lot of them happen by hand. this is one of the oldest machines yet and still very efficient. and so if you want to go behind the scenes, go to my social page, because i have put up stories on facebook, twitter and instagram. >> i saw some of them. thank you, kris. if you are running into probl

parties has done anything for me. don't you wish there someone like that and the libertarian vein? so absolutely ideal. we have to remember many voters are more personality driven and we think. we think there's a moderate lane, progressive lane, where the ideas what are they think deep down on the issues? a lot of people decide i like biden, is a popular former vice president i like president obama. he's cool, he's good. people like bernie, he has a nice personality and sincere and honest advocate. they have kinda done well from the beginning. a year ago they were the two at the top, biden doing better at bernie little behind him. nothing has significantly changed a year later. they were up and down. kennedy: i want to ask you about warren because now everyone is giving matter worn, she drops out now then bernie games momentum and she's there is a prophylactic dick to keep bernie from getting too many votes. so i think she is down to with her support i think if she were to get out i think it would be split fairly evenly between biden and bernie at this point. >> i have evidence of that at the isle cauc

we have seen this so libertarian moment during part of barack obama's presidency, the tea party. insaw that kind of reaction 1994 after bill clinton was elected. certainly if you have a socialist president, i think there is going to be an inclination to move back in that direction. maybe it is different if it is a michael bloomberg or joe biden, but a lot of the shifts that we are seeing among conservative intellectuals -- and to a much lesser degree among republican politicians, we have seen josh hawley, maybe matt gaetz -- well those things start to erode if trump is defeated? if trump loses a lot of the things associated with him will be associated with losing. therefore, ambitious republican politicians are going to want to move in a completely different direction. host: elie mystal in new york. he said that all of this is about the court. you have posted a piece that the nation that says if we don't perform the supreme court, nothing else is going to matter. there are three branches of government, right? one can imagine a democrat beating this bigoted misogynist in a landsli

[laughter] nationalists,es, libertarians, populists, republicans, independents, and even some democrats who don't recognize their partynymore, we have one simple goal. to put the final nails in the coffin of socialism in america. [applause and cheers] socialism has never worked anywhere at anytime for anyone except for the dictators who pull all of the strengths. in short, socialism is a loser. bad, it socialism is so is even more tragic than a monologue. -- jimmy kimmel monologue. i like that one. socialism is not just about making you poorer monologue. , sicker, or depressed. it is about destroying the dignity of each person and depriving any deplorable of due process. and we watched this happen the last three years as the democrats attempted a coup to stop, to prosecute and remove our duly elected president who was chosen by the american people to lead our country. the next time a democrat tells you he is democratic-socialist, just ask him, do we even know the final results from the iowa democratic caucus? you know, if you can't run a caucus, why would we trust you to run our government? [applause] squad, andbama,

in the republican party a party that's long advocated for small government for a smaller state what do you say to those who point out that no one's a conservative or a libertarian in a pandemic everyone is a kind of a socialist i mean everyone including donald trump your friend senator mitt romney of utah once the government right now to step in and save the day to spend trillions of dollars to bail out the economy and american people. one thing i believe we can say with certainty and confidence and that is there is a role for everyone in this kind of an emergency i have said repeatedly that anyone who use the federal government as being able to ride to their rescue will be sadly and tragically disappointed not because there's a lack of will or because there's a lack of wallet but because even the federal government doesn't have the capacity to be everywhere the only assets they have actually are those at the state local level and so even any way you look at this we're going to have a need for every sham really to have a pandemic plan or every business to have a plan for every church for every university and college every small every every city and chaldee that

party sellers who are offering these products on those platforms. >> you know, dan, there's -- as appalling as it sounds there is a libertarian argument that says this resources. take my final 30 seconds and respond to that. >> yeah. look, some people are going to say if the price is so high that people aren't going to be able to buy it, and as a result, the government and first responders will be able to have it. you know, i don't know that i buy that argument. i think there's a reason that price gouging laws exist in a vast majority of states. i think it makes sense in the vast majority of states and i think it works. i just think it's a little more complicated when you're talking about a health crisis like this one. >> congrats on the book. i read it. thoroughly enjoyed it. >> thank you, michael. appreciate it. >>> still to come, yourself best and worst tweets and facebook comments. and we'll give you the final result of the survey question. have you voted yet? go vote @smerconish.com. have you undertaken any coronavirus preparations? inflammatory substances.key most pills only block one. flonase. ♪ ♪ you work hard for your money. stretched days
