And now the next president of the United States.
Governor Gary -- Okay.
Is it it.
You know John Baghdad gobs got over a million votes but I'm kind of disappointed I didn't win number one and I've thought that I thought there I thought I would have gotten a lot more votes I think people.
Ended up taking to heart the fact that this was a two person race and that every vote was going to count.
Of course I was trying to make the pitch that you make your vote count by voting for the person you most believe in but.
It really didn't pan out but we didn't get over a million votes and put a voice to issues that I think really needed -- You know firework two point at one factor I think it was Romney losing the race and it was losing the race because he wasn't conservative enough on dollars and cents.
And I think the Republicans social agenda turns off most Americans.
What you did get 1% of the vote which is pretty good at a higher vote total than any libertarian has before.
But.
It does seem to be -- two party country people think Republican or Democrat and it's gonna take some work so open brains.
Well I think so and then and then you talked in -- earlier segment about initiatives that didn't pass some marriage equality.
Legalizing -- regulating marijuana like alcohol in not Colorado I think that.
I think that that is going to change worldwide drug policy.
Wow.
Like -- say coloradans get its and and they did it tonight I applaud Colorado.
-- join us now from New Mexico we've gone back to your home state you're gonna lick your wounds and go back to private life.
Well but -- may elect wounds I businesses is a big part of my life so I hope to.
Regain some mile ultra fitness here in the next month than not that I'm not a fit guy right now but.
I'm looking forward to that and looking forward to being at continuing to be a spokesperson.
I I think the last thing anybody wants to think about or even contemplate is the next election cycle I mean I join everybody in.
Putting putting my finger up my throat I mean we're sick of this it's it's done with let's move forward.
I I think that country's in deep trouble.
And it's from a financial.
Standpoint.
I think that unless we slash spending we're gonna find ourselves in a monetary collapse.
Sooner than later.
And you joined the race because you didn't trust either candidate on that front to you said you never believed Obama would.
Try to balance the budget is he said he would.
Well I'm more liberal than Obama when it comes to civil liberties and -- a lot more conservative -- Romney when it comes to dollars and cents.
I think the majority of Americans fall in that category and look.
Republicans are horrible when it comes to civil liberties and they're not so good on dollars and cents.
Democrats are horrible on dollars and sense and they're not so good on civil liberties and like if the -- -- I think the majority of Americans.
As as.
A member of the majority of him of Americans we do care about these issues offering up a prediction.
We're gonna find ourselves with a heightened police state in this country.
We're gonna find ourselves continuing to militarily.
Intervene in other countries affairs resulting in more enemies to this country than fewer.
And the -- spending is unsustainable.
And it's going to continue to be so.
On that bit of bad but probably true news -- please stick around our audience wants to question.
