Think other great to have you on the show.
And really appreciate your coming -- -- I -- ask about the title that book in the second.
But I wanted to get you to respond to some breaking news today.
That the TSA wants to expand its role to public transit.
And this is a serious consideration -- was there's even a bill in congress.
Talk about this now as I understand that you sued the TSA had problems with them in the past should.
They're worker be expanded.
Absolutely not.
Wouldn't want when you go to an airport today you are not protected by the constitution.
Nor are you protected by the bill of rights.
Why would we want to expand that to other places where you don't get constitutional protection.
Or the bill of rights -- sued over my fourth amendment rights federal judge threw it out you should I didn't she didn't have jurisdiction.
Well they do that which every case because they don't want to let -- court they would lose in court.
And absolutely it should not be expanded have -- caught anybody know it's nothing but theater security that's all of lives.
-- let's go -- your book you -- interesting title quite -- college Democrats and Republicans.
What Republicans are no more gangs and government because they're just like the street gangs are you produce the same color code is the street gang.
The crips are blue what's a blue state of Democrats state the reds -- blood.
Bloods what's a red state a Republican state.
Who is their loyalty to -- okay you first.
Who is their second loyalty to where they get their money the corporations they're identical to street gangs and I challenge any Democrat or Republican.
To read this book and if you still vote for a Democrat or Republican -- the problem not the solution.
-- -- Solution and say no you know -- -- at least effective in what -- getting done what they wanna do.
So in some ways they're very different.
Well and also -- don't affect just the way they do Noual we have a problem with the -- if you live in the vicinity of the game.
Democrats and Republicans affect all of us every single American is affected by these two political -- Well I have good weight I have good allies read chapter -- George Washington Thomas Jefferson and John Adams all said.
Political parties will destroy the country.
It's true actually.
Well answer this question that you've seen -- them the amount of money going into these campaigns its record setting.
And I am learning through it like nobody's business is this going to ruin the president -- presidential election price and we what is the impact of all this cash all this Dell being thrown around.
Sure it will be impacted -- -- he's the big figures they're not they can give as much as they want which is fine but there's not open disclosure.
We don't know who's getting paid what I -- solution throughout -- it's a funny one.
They should all be required to Wear NASCAR racing suits like Jimmy Johnson.
That where we can see you all -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- and then you commit to be informed judgment on who you want to vote for and by the way let's remembered the two gangs do not let anyone else in on their turf.
Gary Johnson the libertarian candidate would beat them a -- was allowed to debate.
I did -- Minnesota.
At the primary I was only polling 10%.
I was allowed to debate I became the governor of Minnesota.
Well and you're wearing a -- -- actually and supporting Jerry cap floor Gary -- -- -- nationality.
He's a libertarian Ron Paul ran ads.
A Republican.
Should you run as an independent or libertarian would that have been -- better.
No not really because you -- never got any pressure as the third party was very Smart in staying with the Republicans but.
He had no chance to get a -- like the redheaded stepchild.
In the Republican Party that shows up on the day they read the will.
But -- he should have done map but while in the -- time he should have tried to get ballot access separately in all fifty states.
That way when the Republicans dumped him.
He -- could have run as a third party and I urge all Ron Paul supporters.
Ron Paul was a libertarian back in six ever -- mediate.
Joining me with Gary Johnson the libertarian candidate except.
Major political ad right there.
Who do you think -- I mean let's be realistic here it's probably not gonna be Gary -- high going to be one of the mainstream candidates.
Only if only because they won't let him debate.
But do you think -- I don't care it doesn't matter a hill yeah you -- -- They used to always tell me when I ran if you vote for Jesse Ventura you're wasting your vote he can't win.
I reverse -- say if you vote for a Democrat or Republican you're wasting your vote because you -- the same -- Both sides are bought off by the same lobbyists out -- convention sold may win either way.
As a lot of money.
And politics that's for darn sure Governor -- should -- thanks for coming on tonight I really appreciate your time good luck clearly look.
Bad -- do know how much -- raised 300 Graham.
That's great that's impressive thank -- Very.
