you tune in to john stossel on fox on saturday night. he is a libertarian who is a little farther than i would call but he deconstructs these government programs and basically the attitude that people turned to government first. it is like a little cold. no matter the physical proof of the belief is incorrect people continue to believe in it. government has replaced god. we used to turn to god, and now we turn to government. >> host: and yousef liberals of the ones who turned to government.

if you tune into john stossel's excellent show on fox on saturday night, he's a libertarian. he goes a little further than i would, but he basically deconstructs all these government programs and mostly the attitude that people turn to government first. it's like a religious cult, juan, that no matter the proof that the belief is incorrect, physical proof, people continue to believe in it. and i think, you know, government has relaced god. we used to turn to god. now we turn to government as our god be, and we wonder why it's not working. >> host: and you say liberals return to government even though clinton said -- >> guest: well, he said it. >> host: and you hear obama saying we have to do more in terms of building up family and individual responsibility -- >> guest: yeah. well, i'm all for that, but talk is cheap, you know? i'm just saying -- >> host: in other words, the niche audience, it seems, is the conservative, hard-right, maybe as you experience evangelical audience. >> guest: i don't see myself as hard right. again, we're using labels here. >> host: okay. >> guest:
