is a class a law suit you know somebody this shows exactly that libertarian libertarianism is correct which is don't oppose the government do not trust what they civilians that it's a lot of money that this is that this is all they should hear this is a lack of regular and government is going to come out and looked at this they would have seen around this thing they did go out big at the border ok this bird around that it has not been inspected by the e.p.a. the berm around that thing is not you know we squabble when well if we're going to should they live by their own laws then yeah i mean there's more than enough regulation and if it wasn't forth then let people take it in the chops for not enforcing the regulations again it's ok it's broken her state's figuring that every single corrupt thing that can happen happens. constantly speaking c.p.a. is apparently let them down speaking of regulation i had on my radio show today that the mirror of as rule aczel texas and he didn't go but a whole bunch of people from his tell this little town of eleven thousand people in texas and they've

what is a libertarian? my son is a libertarian. someone who wants less government on every issue domain. [unintelligible] what? no, he is not that. there are four issues -- civil rights issues, socio-cultural issues. libertarians are different from tea partiers. they want less government on all domains. they do not want government to intervene. >> but there are not many people like that. in the data, support for the tea party is correlated with conservatism across all issue domains. tea party supporters are more conservative on economic issues. that is the strongest. but they are also more conservative on social issues. i did not look at foreign policy issues, but i would suspect that as well. >> but generally, conservatives want government to intervene on socio-cultural dimensions to -- sociocultural issues to establish normality. libertarians are not concerned about that. they are concerned about liberty. government intrusion means a loss of liberty. >> the social issue dimension is one that is interested right now. this is anoth

libertarians are, in a kind of no man's land. they tend to end up on the right because they think the greatest threat is government access. i think that's true. they're not exactly conservatives as many of them would be the first to say. >> it used to be much more grounded and whenever people taught me libertarians have split up, not in the area which is conservative economic thinkers are libertarian economic anchors and they basically share the same a small cars. >> i think it is increase in libertarianism, a sense of society as this kind of unguided, organic thing that should be allowed to grow an experiment. conservatives have different views about how the limits on that kind of experimentation should be set. the basic see how society is not a rational plan thing, but a growing organism is a view many libertarians share in common. >> i've long argued that judges are utopias and most conservatives find one in the past. for modern-day liberalism, it is the college campus now. instead of classless society come to you at kid, espe

for the libertarians we still have a problem.this is unnecessary interference in international areas. we do not need to be there. domestically we heard the argument. this was rand paul's filibuster. even for domestic security purposes, we could turn these groups towards us. we look at where the traditionalists and libertarians unite and oppose the pragmatists. i will speak to both the shutdown and the debt ceiling in the same vein. the pragmatic republicans, the mitch mcconnells and john boehners, understood that the defaulting on our loans was not going to be a positive solution . they were willing to make the compromise to prevent that. as opposed to traditionalists who are upset with where funding is going, libertarians who felt we simply overspend for the sake of overspending. they were unified in their fight against the pragmatist against this which ultimately led to the shutdown. without that voice going against them it could have been accomplished far earlier. the central point this all comes back to is, obviously if you g

is a collective a lawsuit field that i'm putting this shows exactly that libertarian libertarianism is correct which is don't post bugs it's all about monopolies do not trust what they civilians that people give money to this is that this is the whole they should hear this is a lack of regular government is going to come out look at this they would have seen the border around this thing they did go out big at the border only days are burning around that it has not been inspected by the e.p.a. the berm around that thing is not you know is crumbling well if it wasn't should they live by their own laws then yeah there's more than enough regulation and if it wasn't forth then let people take it in the chops for not enforcing the regulations again it's a ok it's really going to hurt states figuring that every single corrupt thing that can happen happens constantly c.p.a. is apparently let them down speaking of regulation i had on my radio show today that the mare of as rule aczel texas and he didn't go but a whole bunch of people from his tell this little town of eleven thousand people i

there are less libertarians, more libertarians, the author of are making history of united states andworry murdoch leans more to the right. you have differences about immigration and the nsa and obamacare. >> i hope we have no disagreement. people on the left don't like corporations. this seems like a win-win for libertarian people. it forces individuals and they are absolutely opposed to this. >> and i will take it and i'm for a social safety net and out know that that often becomes a trap and if this had been a limited program for 50 million people that are hard-core uninsurable scum i think that people can live with that. it is tribble and we're seeing it falling apart from a technological basis and now there is going to be a bailout of the insurance company and this is a big problem. and now they're going to have health insurance bailout we will not. it. john: republicans say my insurance companies going broke and we need some federal money, do you think that they will vote against that next that is going to be a tough thing to tell. but i think the american people is 59%, varicos

libertarian defense of traditionalism. ron paul, all life begins at conception, you cannot defend liberty without defending all life. and on the flip side, a traditionalist defense of liberty. stephen fisher, the role of citizen, of humanity is to take care of each other but not for washington to steal from those in the country and give to others in the country. so lincoln, the economic libertarianism and the -- linking to reinforce but ultimately making the same sense of an argument. and what we argue is these contours still come from a reagan-style conservativism. starting and building with the idea that we have families and markets having a symbiotic relationship. the idea being here that a good upbringing will lead to good workers, good workers will lead to the ability to raise a family, that family will lead to a good upbringing. and at the same time, we still recognize the government has a place at the margins. but most of the time we want it to get out of the way from a reagan conservative-era stance. powers to tax,

libertarians are in the no-man's land. in fact, they end up on their rights because they think liberty is government access and i think that is true. that makes sense but they're not exactly conservatives. >> but libertarians are changing. when people tell me libertarians and conservative split up the was not the biggest of the importance and we basically share the same baseball cards. >> also what is increasing is a sense of society has be organic thing it could grow into experience to have different views whether limits should be set but that is not a rational thing as many share in common. >> i have long argued to utopia most conservatives find that in the past but the of modern day liberalism instead of the classless society the shelter or security that get the most independent people. [laughter] so that we are running out of time the current political climate on the right, the tone of this not dismiss if but skeptical. i don't think i spoil it that you side with burke but it is out of tempo. particularly on the right

in the interest of time, the short answer for the short term is libertarians. in the last two elections, they've been a large part of the republican coalition and to republicans advantage of internet at high rate than to populist and moderates. moderates. there's more than an elected and they show up a bit more and there's more like the last couple of elections to support the republican party. that's the place where a republican to consider votes. this isn't surprising given that even though we have a two-dimensional structure of american public opinion in our view of economic and social issues, the economic issues correlate most highly with people self-reported ideology and also our correlate more high with people's vote choice. and service match liberties on economic issues and so that is perhaps not so surprising. the other thing to note here though is that if consumers have a hard time going after the libertarians, and as you can see by watching the line of them, it's up and down. it's not a consistent group and it's not a very large group, are not always a

a few celebrities have revealed themselves to be libertarianisms or libertarianisms/conservatives likeeveryone has a purpose in life. guess i haven't found mine. >> he said this. >> i'm very supportive of ron paul. as you get older you get less trust of the government running anything. the purpose of government is to protect the individual's right. >> he went onto say too many rules lead to government corruption and other intended consequences. he gets it. >> for the first time in my life i'm doing the right thing. >> maybe there are more libertarians in hollywood but they're in the closet. >> if you don't march and step with the other liberals, you may not get work. >> just saying i'm an independent in hollywood is enough to make me lose work in that city. >> maybe that's why it's well established stars like vaughn and eastwood that are willing to speak up and drew carey that works for reason tv. >> you don't need a centralized government to tell us what to do all the time and what color to paint our house. >> maybe entertainers can't comprehend it. when status said government must ac

i think there are a lot of libertarians to start where paine starts in some ways libertarianism contains multitudes of different things and some forms are very burkian and it is the essence of his view. but some forms are very rational lipstick and really believe that the society by applying certain kind of roles including principals far more scientific as they understand them can maximize the freedom and therefore maximize happiness. what paine shows us in the course of his own thinking and the evolution of his own thinking is, the radical individualism leads to the state is some and the gis lawyer from the reliance on other people which i would say is the essence of the goal and leads to the creation of the kind of provider of the material benefits and there's a tendency among the american conservatives to think of the welfare state. our welfare system is not bismarck. it's more like the welfare state the purpose of its use to enable the individual to have the kind of illusion of independence. in the dependents of people around you is the only condition. there is no way around that. sh

and libertarians and actually gain some support from progressive and liberal. i really do think you can with this it's something that both his father and self have been very good at doing. certain issues these these sort of privacy issues but the thing is with with with the soap issue that makes it different from from this is that so it was sort of it was a campaign done by you when there was no sort of leader of this campaign whereas rand paul is putting himself first and foremost in this in this class action lawsuit getting people to sign up on this thing he's put together and i'm not really quite sure what his what his angle is here because because he's a congress person he can you can draft some law or go straightforward with a bill of some sort and try to make a change in. the law itself but instead he's going this public route and it makes me question whether this is really about the n.s.a. or if he's looking at twenty sixteen and last senator rand paul says he wants to go all the way to the supreme court do you think there's a chance it could. certainly

think libertarians and actually gained some support from progressives and liberals. i really do think you can with this diet something right both from his father and himself have been very good at doing an eye on certain issues does not deserve privacy issues. but but the thing is with driftwood this operation that makes it different from from this is that cyclists order but there was a campaign done by doing them there was no sort of leader of this campaign where grandpa oscar himself first and foremost to miss out. in this the class action lawsuit getting people to sign up on this thing is put together. i really quite sure what is it with his angry with him because he could sit shiva congress person. he came in and grab some law or go straight for it with the bill of some sort and try to make a change in the eating his dinner and then the lights out what but instead he's going with are out and makes me question what will read that this is really about the nsa were looking at twenty sixty. and last and as senator grandpa says he wants is to go all the way to the sup

i of an avid constitutional conservative with a libertarian bet to you don't have a fidelity of a set of rules no way to argue otherwise but yes it is a global flight but i could only argue from my perspective of secret service. but some use the heavy handed approach globally that are not limited by the rules we have in this country that have the of flowback defect to make the environment worse not military but from law-enforcement i think some of the tactics are extremely effective in aluminate create internal propaganda later sometimes of law-enforcement honey works a lot better than vinegar in my experience. >> merry christmas to all. >> merry christmas. >> i have a two-part question. as an active secret service agent but active duty why did you do not specifically a tent which is the real crooks of all of the problems that you mentioned article to section one of the united states constitution the deals with the qualifications to be president no person except a natural born citizen of the united states shall be president on the qualifications so may i ask why did you not deal with

i am a libertarian at heart. i believe every man and woman on this earth is a child of god but if someone says to me you are looking for agreeing male who is 6 ft. 6 and missing his left finger, that is who i want to go after. i use these absurd physical characteristics because in search another random race, culture, creed, religion everyone gets offended as if you did something wrong in law-enforcement. just because i may be looking for someone who i know attends a certain religious facility doesn't mean i have anything as a law-enforcement officer against -- we are just following the trail and it becomes even more dangerous now because what you get is blanket surveillance in the case of the nsa which i disagree with fundamentally. i think it is a silly way to do it and you also have blanket screening which is absurd. the t s a, the folks in this room, how much time, you realize economic productivity lost every year to screen 999 out of a thousand people who won't have a nail clipper on them? it is a waste. the
