The president says democrats only have one point, this is the president now, pushing for collusion. He really means conspiracy and obstruction. Here he is. Look, the republicans in the senate, every single one of them that i see, know that this is a witch hunt. They get it 100 , and thats what matters. The democrats are going to do it only because they might think it helps them. I think it actually hurts them in the election. But theres never been a time in the history of our country where somebody was so mistreated as i have been, and this should never, ever be allowed to happen to another president again. Judge well have more on the impeachment push in just a few minutes, but welcome, my friend. Thanks for having me, judge. Judge how unified are the democrats in their urge to have trump out of office . Well, it is interesting. Weve seen the former Vice President biden take a commanding lead as the frontrunner from the day he entered the race, and he is losing support. You can see in the polling this is the one ray of light for trump and his supporters, that biden is losing steam. He would be the most formidable nominee against President Trump, but this new polling that shows 31 democrats are looking for steady and reliable leadership, and thats why they favor biden, that is the kind of factor that doesnt seem like it will go away. Is while Elizabeth Warren seems to be stealing some Bernie Sanders voters, democrats seems to be united in trying to be pragmatic, and thats why so far they have consistently favored joe biden. Judge how many does the trump camp fear the most . Joe biden, no question. Judge and thats because he is a centrist, and he would have a field day against Bernie Sanders or Elizabeth Warren. Right. I think most people who are not democratic grassroots, leftwing activists look at Bernie Sanders and Elizabeth Warren and listen to their language about overhauling the entire system, changing the country, it sounds very radical. Even though i guess Elizabeth Warren is not technically a socialist like Bernie Sanders proudly is, shes still talking about radical change, and i think that its going to be hard to hold the middle and get a majority in this country for either one of those candidates. Judge do you have a feel, a. B. , for how the rank and file democrats feel about impeachment . Not mrs. Pelosi and not jerry nadler and not the folks that are on the house judiciary committee, but rank and file democrats whether theyre blue collar, whether theyre socialists, whatever they may be, moms at home, soccer moms . Well, the voters, as you know, are very concerned with health care. It was the number one issue in the midterm elections, its going to be a huge liability for President Trump next year. Many in his coalition, his supporters in 2016, expected obamacare to be repealed and replaced, but theyre still in the exchanges, prices are skyrocketing, their choices are growing fewer and fewer, and its a disaster. There are going to be pocketbook issues that concern them. What theyre talking about on the trail mostly to candidates is really that kind of thing, Prescription Drug prices, the price of insulin judge a. B. , i am hearing you, ask youre not mentioning the word impeachment. Does the rank and file not want to go there . The rank and file lawmakers, till only a quarter of the democrats in the house, want to go to impeachment. But whats really interesting, and i think youll appreciate this, is the democrats in trump districts when you talk to them privately, the media keeps talking about how they dont want to impeach President Trump because they need to hold on to their majorities, republicans voted them in in their districts, and they will lose them if they pursue impeachment. Many of them have National Security backgrounds, they are not lifelong politicians, and they are not actually as focused on keeping their jobs in politics. So whats interesting about the conversations taking place now is theyre not ready to support it now, but some of them could see later on the idea that it would be necessary to make sure the president was not above the law. Judge okay, last question. Can joe biden till be at the head of the pack a year from now . The. [laughter] its a long year. [laughter] ill tell you this, judge, the thing is hes not going to have a coronation. Its going to be a very difficult battle. The party is divided. But the person with the support of africanamerican voters becomes the democratic nominee, thats what happened with hillary and bernie, and everyone before that. Right now he has rock solid support in that community, and until and unless that changes, i think he stays the frontrunner. Judge thanks, always a pleasure. The president might be shifting his sights towards 2020, but hes still not out of the woods in 2016. A new fox news poll released yesterday finds the support for impeaching the president is grow thing. Listen to this. According to one poll, 50 of americans are in favor of impeaching the president. That number includes 43 who want him impeached and removed and 7 who want him impeached but not removed. I dont know what that gains. 48 did not support impeachment of any kind. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi has been trying to slow the impeachment parade in her own party, but freshman congresswoman, the ever alexandria ocasiocortez everpresent alexandria ocasiocortez told abc news it might be too late, too late. Take a listen. I believe that there is a very real animus and desire to make sure that we are, that we are holding this president to account. Judge so should the democrats keep trying to avenge the 2016 election, and could it cost them big in 2020 . Here with me now, caldwell Strategy Consulting founder, my good buddy, gianno caldwell, and cohost of the five, juan williams. This irrepressible urge on the part of democrats to make life miserable for the president by waving the impeachment flag. Waving it, you dont mean waving it away, you mean actually yeah, 70 . The polls are pretty clear, 70 of democrats would like to see him impeached. Theres a key distinction, do you want him removed from office. A lot of people think if you impeach someone, theyre automatically gone. In fact, thats not the case. You have to go to senate, get a conviction, and pelosis saying thats highly unlikely in a republican majority senate. Judge is her best strategy not to permit this to get started, or the sam irvin against nixon strategy with the drip, drip, drip of bad news, reduce nixons popularity down from the 70s to 30s . I think thats exactly right. And i think thats what were seeing now. Shes allowing jerry nadler and others to pursue investigations, try to say were not at that point yet, thats why shes not for impeachment yet, but shes not saying that point right not come soon. Judge when bill clinton was impeached, the republicans who were responsible with the exception of Lindsey Graham were voted out of office, and Clinton Left Office with higher Approval Ratings than before the impeachment started. Is that a lesson from mrs. Pelosi to take into account . I think, i think he does view that as a lesson, and juan just mentioned a 70 poll. 70 of americans want President Trump impeached, and im just not familiar with where that judge i think he said 70 of democrats, jionno gionno. There was a poll that came out sunday with the Washington Post and abc that said 49 of democrats want to see the president impeached. I think this has been running along party lines because independents and republicans dont want to see him impeached. And were seeing nancy pelosi rightly so telling her caucus with over 60 mens that want to see this members that want to see the president impeached that they shouldnt. That will be an almost guaranteed stamp for President Trump to win reelection. They may not like his behavior, they may not like what he does on twitter, but they dont see what hes done that rises to level of high crimes and demeanors. Judge well, if you want to go there, bob mueller has listed between 1011, obstruction of justice which was if that be the case judge go ahead. Nancy pelosi, if that be the case, then nancy pelosi should run the impeachment then, but they dont see it as such, because if she believed that was, in my view, true, she would run the impeachment. Shes too smart, i think, to run the risk of damaging the party just to get an Impeachment Vote in the house thatll go nowhere in the senate, am i right . Thats the whole logic right there, you just nailed it. So what we see in the polls is that more and more people say the president should cooperate with the congress. He should not be resisting their request for information, for interviews and the like. So this is a rising tide. And what we saw in the poll that you put up at the segment, judge, is that you see a large number of americans now, you know, 43 plus to 7, 50 saying even if its a remove or not remove, that he should be impeached. I think thats growing, and thats growing, by the way, because you have this persistent number, 70 of democrats, but also more independents who feel like, you know what . This is just, the president has to cooperate. Judge gianno, you live in a state that doesnt even have a serious organized republican party. No, because judge what pulse are you feeling in Southern California . Do democrats want to see him impeached, or do they want to see him defeated in to in 2020 . Absolutely, they want to see him impeached. We can talk about what happened in Orange County where theres no republicans in congress right now, and there always was. Juan mentionedded something fairly interesting. He said, hey, americans want to see President Trump work with congress and provide information, but we saw president obama do some of the similar things. We can talk about benghazi, fast and furious, we can talk about the irs situation, we can talk about numerous scandals. And 2014 cnn did a poll showing almost 60 of republicans wanted to see thenbarack obama, president of the United States, impeached. Weve got to have a very honest conversation on the other side with our democratic colleagues and friends over there d. Judge got it. And make sure that were giving real information. Judge all right, thank you. My pleasure. Judge guys, well do it e again. The pentagon is sending 1,000 more troops to the middle east as trouble escalates with iran. For what . And now the iranians oh, yeah, thats gonna be a good one. playing did you know that nationwide has customized Small Business insurance . Huhuh. Maybe thats a song. Yeah, maybe. peyton did you know nationwide is americas 1 provider of pet insurance, farms, and ranches . Now thats a song. Yeah, maybe. Oh, thats gold right there. Did you know that nationwide has an interactive retirement planner . music stops are we there yet . nationwide jingle its nice. You got this woo lets get down to business. The business of getting it done. The business of road trips. The business of getting everyone back together. The business of hustle. And hard work. And whatever this is. Modernized comfort inns suites have been refreshed because whatever business youre in, our business is you. Book direct at choicehotels. Com we like drip coffee, layovers and waiting on hold. What we dont like is relying on fancy technology for help. Snail mail we were invited to a y2k party. Uh, didnt that happen, like, 20 years ago . Oh, look, karolyn, weve got a mathematician on our hands check it out now you can schedule a callback or reschedule an appointment, even on nights and weekends. Todays xfinity service. Simple. Easy. Awesome. Id rather not. Judge the pentagon this evening announcing its sending a thousand additional troops to the middle east as tensions with iran continue to escalate. In a statement acting secretary of defense Patrick Shanahan said, quote the United States does not seek conflict with iran. You can judge that for yourself. The action today is being taken to insure the safety and welfare of our military personnel working throughout the region and to protect our national interests. Then he goes on to say we will continue to monitor the situation diligently and make adjustments to force levels as necessary given intelligence reporting and credible threats. Okay. The move comes in response to attacks on two oil tankers in the gulf of oman last week, neither tanker was american. But the United States is blaming both attacks on iran. This afternoon the United States military released images of what it says are Iranian Forces removing a mine that did not detonate on one of the ships. The pentagon yesterday accused iran of trying to shoot down an unmanned u. S. Surveillance drone that was flying over the damaged ships. Earlier today iran stoked the flames further by announcing it will exceed the limit for its uranium stockpile that was agreed to under the nuclear deal the one negotiated by john kerry that the United States pulled out of last year. Everyone in the Administration Says the u. S. Wants to avoid war. Do you believe that . But all the signs are pointing to view that a fight is inevitable. The panel is here. Young americans for liberty president cliff maloney, comedian and head writer for this show, very gifted mondayhaired italian [laughter] and forbes media chairman and editorinchief and my longtime friend, steve forbes. Are we itching for war . Do donald trump and john bolton want war in the middle east . You have to separate the two. Judge okay. Donald trump does not want war. He wants u. S. Strength, he wants iran not to be the hegemonic power in that region, but he does not want war, and he proved that the in a way that raised a lot of eye brows when months ago he announced unilateral withdrawal from syria. Judge that resulted in the resignation of his thendefense chief, didnt it . It did, and some others in the state department as well. Because it opened the way for a new isis, opened the way for russia. So trump is not, if anything, if you want to be accusatory, you could say hes really at heart an isolationist, strong america. He does not want any foreign entanglements. Judge what do we care, cliff, if two foreign ships were bombed by a different country . Are we the worlds policeman . Absolutely not. I agree with steve. Look, in the America FirstForeign Policy is what its supposed to be all about, and trump has those inships. What the instincts. Hes surrounded himself with neocons. These people are so excited for war, and the one thing id say to any of these folks who are pushing to put troops into iran, how do you come to terms with the fact that weve lost nearly 8,000 folks in iraq and afghanistan and look at this and not say maybe we should actually debate these unconstitutional, endless wars . Judge jimmy, are the American People ready for soldiers in body bags again . No, that sounds horrible. I finally saved up enough money for a beach rental on the streets of hormuz [laughter] i got a deal. [laughter] yeah, thats another judge but to be serious for a moment i feel for the president. Like cliff said and steve articulated, hes in a position where he himself is not prowar. Hes not the proconflict president we were told he was. But that being said, he does have john bolton in his ear who would bomb canada [laughter] hell bomb anybody. Judge we both know john bolton, and john bolton is tugging the president toward a military conflict. In fairness to john, he believes thatll keep america safe. In fairness to president , thats the opposite of what the president promised he would do but the key thing is, how do you achieve the goal of a nonnuclear iran . You dont want every other country feeling they have a green light. We saw that with north korea, and now were trying to face the consequences of that. Judge okay. So withdrawing from the deal was a good thing and making very clear that irans not going to be the hegemonic power, curb your ambitions and start growing your economy. If not, youre going to pay a price for it. But you can use sanctions. You dont have to use war with iran. That economy e is weak, its currency is weak, they need to sell oil and cant. You could get regime change. Judge all right. For 50 years the sanctions in cuba did not change the policy of the government. Do sanctions ever change the policy of the government . Well, i think sometimes we get rid of a dictator we dont want. But the quote goes, and its always the truth, you know, look, when you put these sanctions in, when goods dont cross borders, soldiers will. I think people turn to sanctions as a less than, hey, lets not put all these troops on the ground because of the ramifications. But at the end of the day, i mean, sanctions, to me, havent been working, and youve got to look for alternatives. And is it our job to be the worlds policeman . I would say, no, i dont think we need to have a role in all of these countries all the time. Judge so secretary shanahan, whos the acting secretary of defense, today quoted this unbelievably credible source in the middle east that iran did attack those two the ships. The source . Mohamed bin salman, the dictator and murderer who runs saudi arabia. Why are we hanging around with that crowd . I dont know that thats the guy were supposed to trot out as a character witness on the issue. That being said, i do find it interesting that trump did catch a lot of heat for having the gall to question our Intelligence Community related to russia, but a lot of people are conveniently outraged or questioning the Intelligence Community themself. Theres a little bit of a habit both ways. Listen, we want this to resolve itself in the best way possible. Judge can you guys stick around . Yeah, why not . Judge okay. A Supreme Court ruling today could spell trouble for the president , but is it bad n limu emu doug look limu. A civilian buying a new car. Lets go. Limus right. Liberty mutual can save you money by customizing your car insurance, so you only pay for what you need. Oh. Yeah, ive been a customer for years. Huh. Only pay for what you need. Liberty. Liberty. Liberty. Liberty. And i recently had hi, ia heart attack. It changed my life. But im a survivor. After my heart attack, my doctor prescribed brilinta. Its for people who have been hospitalized for a heart attack. Brilinta is taken with a lowdose aspirin. No more than 100 milligrams as it affects how well brilinta works. Brilinta helps keep platelets from sticking together and forming a clot. In a clinical study, brilinta worked better than plavix. Brilinta reduced the chance of having another heart attack. Or dying from one. Dont stop taking brilinta without talking to your doctor, since stopping it too soon increases your risk of clots in your stent, heart attack, stroke, and even death. Brilinta may cause bruising or bleeding more easily, or serious, sometimes fatal bleeding. Dont take brilinta if you have bleeding, like stomach ulcers, a history of bleeding in the brain, or severe liver problems. Slow heart rhythm has been reported. Tell your doctor about bleeding new or unexpected shortness of breath any planned surgery, and all medicines you take. If you recently had a heart attack, ask your doctor if brilinta is right for you. My heart is worth brilinta. If you cant afford your medication, astrazeneca may be able to help. Judge today the Supreme Court of the United States ruled that the same criminal event can trigger two prosecutions; one by the feds and one by the state. In the case of an alabama man who illegally possessed a firearm one that he didnt use, by the way he technically violated both alabama law and federal law. But the constitution has a clause in the fifth amendment, we all know it as the double jeopardy clause, and it was written to prevent repeated attempts to convict. In the case of this fella from alabama, he pleaded guilty in alabama a state court, believing that the feds would leave him alone. Yet they indicted him, and he challenged the indictment arguing that he has already been punished for the firearms violation, and double punishments just like repeated prosecutions are unconstitutional. Today the Supreme Court of the United States let that federal prosecution and the potential double punishment move forward. But the whole purpose of the double jeopardy clause has been to prevent this. This was the practice of british officials in the colonial days of repeatedly trying folks for the same crime until they got the verdict and the punishment they wanted. We fought a revolution over abuses like this, and we wrote a constitution to prevent them from happening here, and here we are in 2019. If the feds fail to get you, the state has a shot and vice versa. Why should you care about this . Well, one reason, it is the hallmark of tyrants to try folks repeatedly for the same crime. It is utterly unamerican. Heres another one, it may affect President Trump and those he may choose to pardon. Take paul manafort, for example. He pleaded guilty in federal court in virginia for defrauding a new york bank, a federal crime and a new york state crime. If the president pardons him, that pardon only relieves him of the federal prosecution and the federal punishment. He can till be prosecuted by he can still be prosecuted by new york state authorities. If convicted in new york, hell be punished twice for the same single crime. No matter what you may think of manafort, this is grossly unfair. Heres another wilder example. President trump has boasted he can pardon himself. Now, nobody knows if he can do that, because its never happened or been tested in the courts. But if he does, it would only apply to federal offenses. If the pardoned crime is also a state crime well use the manafort example, bank fraud the state in which the alleged crime occurred can still prosecute him. This business of double prosecutions for the same event and double punishments is bad law, and its unamerican. The Supreme Court should be in the business of protecting our rights, not upending them. How about upholding the constitution . This you go, steve. The panels here again, cliff, jimmy and steve. Youre as furious about this opinion as i am. It just spits in the face of the constitution. Every state in the union going to go after you doing little permutations on a similar crime . But theyre saying, well, its not exactly the same as it was in pennsylvania, so well haul you in in alabama, tennessee, wherever. So they can try you forever. And another way the Supreme Court went wrong years ago was in these liability cases where not permanently liable, but they sue you civilly and then fine you 50 million and destroy you that way. The constitution was very clear. I dont know why alito the, doesnt he know how to read the constitution . [laughter] judge youre talking about our fellow princetonian. He said that the federal government shouldnt big foot the states. Do you buy that. No, i dont buy it. And in the understanding, i read gorsuchs dissent, and in order to try you in multiple venues, they have to show that a different crime was committed or different evidence was committed to achieve the secondary conviction. But this is literally the same conviction twice because judge because. All right, so lets pretend this is the guy, my pen. The guy in alabamas holding the gun, he gets arrested. Suddenly, instead of 5 years in jail, he can face 15. Is that a fair . By any measurement . No. And thank god for neil gorsuch. Im really disappointed judge and before you say neil gorsuch, who defended women . Ruth bader ginsburg. [laughter] judge somewhere scalias happy. [laughter] the one thing i would warn right now as partisans, you know, be careful getting on the side of, well, the fifth amendment, we want it to apply because manafort might be, you know, with these folks, and its like, well, we dont always have to jump. The constitution should always be the gold standard, and were judge correct. It doesnt matter whos harmed or benefited by it. [inaudible conversations] by that logic, they can throw out the 14th and 15th amendments. Judge well, they can states rights. Judge they can word their way around almost anything which is, im sorry, sam Justice Alito they can word their way around almost anything. That was part of the gorsuch dissent. If the fifth amendment was written for anything, it was to prevent double prosecutions and double punishment. So well see where it goes, but thats the law, 72, its not going to change. If i was trump, id be concerned. Judge i dont think the president is worried about this, i just through that in there. [laughter] [inaudible conversations] judge jimmy, do you know what today is . Today marks 25 years since o. J. Simpson captivated the entire nation with his infamous white ford bronco chase. Do you remember where you were . It began shortly after he was charged with the murders of his exwife, nicole brown simpson, and her friend ronald goldman. Of course, a jury found him not guilty in the trial of the century, and now the juice has joined twitter where he announced he plans to set the record straight. For years people have been able to say whatever they wanted to say about me with no accountability. But now i get to challenge a lot of that b. S. And set the record straight. Judge all right. Are you ready for this, jimmy . He already has more than 600,000 followers. But maybe we shouldnt be surprised given the Cultural Impact that the trial had on the country. It is often credited with starting the modern 24hour news cycle as well as the wave of reality tv, and its also sensitized us to problem of violence against women. Its hard to imagine its been 25 years, and its the harder to imagine he got off. So should o. J. Be hamming it up on twitter or out hunting for the real killers as he once vowed he would do . He said now he can tell the truth. Well, you could have told the truth after 1995. Chose not to do so. He was going to hunt the guy down. Did the he ever post a roadway ward to find out who did it . We all know the answer to that. Judge so the civil lawsuit, you talk about criminal and civil, civil lawsuit before another judgement, a nononsense judge, resulted in the verdict of 25 million. Now, of course, the Goldman Family cannot get his pension, but they got a book that he wrote called if i did it. They own the rights to the book, so they changed the title to i did it. [laughter] they tried to sell the book to see if they could earn money from the book to pay the 25 million. I dont think they made much money. I think the most shocking thing you could reveal about the o. J. Chase to younger viewers is that it happened when the New York Knicks were playing in the nba finals. [laughter] that is so stunning to a lot of people out there who couldnt even fathom. Judge [inaudible] a lot of knicks fans are googling the word finals right now. They dont even know [laughter] but to o. J. Point, twitter has some standard of admission these days, doesnt it . Oh, youre a conservative blogger, get out of here. Oh, you killed two people . Judge welcome aboard. You are probably too young to remember this, but the other stun thing thing about the chase is it went about 15 miles an hour. It wasnt a chase. [laughter] when we see chases on sixth avenue, you can hardly go across the street. Everybody was interested, the helicopters were watching, you could hear the conversation between the Police Officer in one of the cars and o. J. In the other in the bronco. He wasnt driving the bronco, his friend was driving the bronco. Would anybody take that seriously today . I mean, look, you wake up, its 2019. Youre thinking there couldnt be anything crazier, you find the juice is loose, and hes trying to get revenge on twitter. Should he be banned . No, i think he should be on there. But my gosh, is it just a moment to see look at the type of feedback youre getting, 600,000 followers. Judge we are having a lot of fun with this, should we . Because this is a dreadfully, deathly serious situation. He got away with murder. The evidence was overwhelming. I covered that case for cnbc in the time before i was at fox. The prosecutors were terrific, the judge was a done it gets to something thats happened to courts especially with civil suits is judges dont control their courts anymore. Judge right. They allow the most idiotic things to go before it, they see themselves as referees instead of determining whats legitimate to come before the court and what isnt. Judge heres a trivia question. O. J. Never testified, but what two words, jimmy, did he utter to word when he put on the gloves . Too tight. Thats a mistrial right there because if a defendant says anything, the government gets to crossexamine him. He was up for reelection, judge ito, remember that . Another defect in the system. What have we learned . What should we learn from this . What we should hearn is he only did nine years. Judge for an unrelated event. The craziness in our criminal Justice System right now that a guy who gets convicted for robbery does nine years, and ask and you have people behind bars 20, 30 years for nonviolent marijuana possession, i mean, that was what really sparked me the reason he got nine years instead of two or three was this was partially payback for getting off for murder. Judge he was actually facing 33 years. He got 9, he served about 6 and a half, im not sure exactly well, they cited him for time served for having played for the Buffalo Bills [laughter] count that. Judge jimmy, god love ya. [laughter] judge doesnt. [laughter] judge i do, i do, i do i would be nowhere without him. Coming up, rumors continue to swirl that Michigan Republican congressman and my good buddy justin amash could run as a libertarian and challenge the president , be a nightmare for the president particularly in michigan. But one former marine is already running for the libertarian nomination. There he is. Look at that handsome face. And wait until you hear what he plans to do on his first day in the white house. You do not want to miss it, you ahhhh were here. After my. I wondered,. Is another one around the corner. Or could it be different than i thought . I wanted to help protect myself. My doctor recommended eliquis. Eliquis is proven to treat and help prevent another dvt or pe blood clot. Almost 98 percent of patients on eliquis didnt experience another. And eliquis has significantly less major bleeding than the standard treatment. Eliquis is fdaapproved and has both. Dont stop eliquis unless your doctor tells you to. Eliquis can cause serious and in rare cases fatal bleeding. Dont take eliquis if you have an artificial heart valve or abnormal bleeding. If you had a spinal injection while on eliquis call your doctor right away if you have tingling, numbness, or muscle weakness. While taking eliquis, you may bruise more easily. And it may take longer than usual for bleeding to stop. Seek immediate medical care for sudden signs of bleeding, like unusual bruising. Eliquis may increase your bleeding risk if you take certain medicines. Tell your doctor about all planned medical or dental procedures. Whats around the corner could be surprising. Ask your doctor about eliquis. Will transform not just the automobile, but mobility itself. An autonomousthinking vehicle protecting those inside and out.

Judge limited government is one of the Guiding Principles of the Libertarian Party and of the constitution of the United States, and if youre watching kennedy, you know that. Thats because a Smaller Government means more personal freedom, fewer taxes and less regulation. But one libertarian candidate for president s going one step further, and he claim that is if he wins are you ready for this . I wish i had a drum roll. He will dissolve the entire federal government on his first day in office and then resign as president. So then what happens . Joining me tonight, libertarian candidate for president adam cokerr, former marine, good friend of mine, friend of the show, friend of the old show freedom watch. Adam, good to see you. Youd outstanding. Thank you so much for sneaking us past the censors [laughter] thank you for the help in nevada with the bundy case last year. We really appreciate the stands youve taken over the years. Judge thank you, adam. Are you serious that you will run for and win on a platform of abolishing the government . Yes, judge. Its a little more comply catted but, yes, its time for us to be united in freedom instead of government. And my proposal is the localization of the federal government, dissolving it new a bankruptcy process in a peaceful, orderly, responsible manner that would leave us with 50 independent states and, of course, up to 562 sovereign native nations. So in terms of getting rid of it on day one, its a little more complicated but, yes, i would be resigning on day one. I think the only thing you can do when youre handed the ring of power is throw it directly into the fire. Judge how popular is this view, and will you get the nomination of the Libertarian Party . If you get it, i think, youre in on the ballot in all 50 states. I think we do, therell be a struggle. Its a fundamentally different approach to freedom. Instead of saying lets have a president who gives freedom to entire country, lets instead localize government so everybody gets what they want out of it. And that is really unifying people. That brings people together. Localization is the cure for polarization. You see americans fighting at the extremes left and right, and its so silly when you can just say lets instead the respect each others right to develop the communities that are based on our values. Judge adam, you and i have known each other for years, we share the same principles. How you argue to an American Public that is addicted to getting free stuff from the government in. Thats a very good question. I think, again, the answer is to stop arguing about what government should be. Libertarian em for too long has been playing their game, playing politics saying its about this issue and that issue, and instead we should be saying you can have as much government as you want, as long as its voluntary, as long as its the local, as long as its based in a community, and youre not forcing it on someone. You want this, you want that, when government is localized, yall can have it. Everybody gets what they want. I think thats the ultimate i think the American People are ready for a truly revolutionary Campaign Like in that really could be seen as the promise fulfilling the First American revolution. Judge you are an exmarine. What will become of defense in your system . Former. Judge i know that, i know that. Just the premise to question. What will become of defense . What will become of the military . What will protect us from invasion . Well, judge, as you know, there are a lot of founders of this country who were against the very idea of a standing army. And you know that a decentralized mill a shahbased defense militiabased defense is more efficient, more effective, and as they would say, the only legitimate defense of a free people is a wellarmed population that refuses to be governed by anyone. Localizing the military to states, getting it focused more on defensive rather than offensive and World Policing type forces, thats a first step in the right direction. And remember, getting rid of the federal government, were only talking about getting rid of three million out of twentytwo million employees who work for the government at state, local and federal levels. Its just trimming this layer of fat off the top. Judge thank you so much. I just want to say to everybody out there. Please, join the Libertarian Party, support the candidates for president. Weve been setting records for fundraising and media. Its going to be a big year. Thank you, young. Judge coming up, amazon pays it workers more than the 15 minimum wage most progressives demand, but there she is again, alexandria ocasiocortez, still claims the tech giant is paying employees starvation wages. So is there any amount that will satisfy the left, or is aoc herself just starving for attention . Theres my friend. Get it get that butterfly you know those butterflies arent actually in the room . Hey, that baker ladys on tv again. Shes not a baker. She wears that apron to sell insurance. Nobody knows why. Shes the progressive insurance lady. They cover pets if your owner gets into a car accident. Covers us with what . You got me. [ scoffs ] shes an insurance lady. And i suppose this baker sells insurance, too .

Muckjudge so everybodys least favorite democrat, alexandria ocasiocortez, now renewing her beef with amazon and accusing it founder jeff bezos of getting rich off the backs of his employees. Watch this. Its his being a billionaire, its predicated on paying people starvation wages and stripping them of their ability to Access Health care. And also its his ability to be a billionaire is predicated on the fact that his workers pay food stamps, so im paying for him to be a billionaire do you think thats why hes a billionaire, because he pays his workers starvation wages . I think its certainly part of the equation. Judge in a statement to fox business, amazon called the accusations, quote, absurd and touted its efforts to raise salaries for its warehouse workers and provide comprehensive Health Care Benefits as well as tuition assistance. So does aoc have it out for the worlds richest man, or does she have a point about corporations in this country . Joining me tonight, conservative libertarian columnist and author of how do i tax thee, let me count the ways, and my dear friend, kristin tate. [laughter] always a pleasure to work with you, thanks for coming here. Its great to be with you. Judge isnt it true that, in fact, amazon pays about 7 or 8 an hour more than the minimum wage that she wants to be the law of the land . Yes. Well, aoc and her ilk love to pander to low information voters by blasting breedty corporations and greedy corporations and rich people. It is shameless. And its also a poisonous mindset for americans. Yes, judge, youre right, shes just completely dead wrong about amazon. Last year amazon set their minimum wage to 15 an hour. Thats more than double the federallymandated minimum wage, and they offer very competitive benefits to their workers as well. Not only that, but amazon and jeff bezos have been very vocal about their wish to raise the federal minimum wage as well. Aoc has never run a business in her life, shes never had to balance the books for a large corporation. It seems like she just thinks money is printed out of thin air like it is in the government, and i gotta tell you, its terrifying that people like aoc are gaining traction in our political system judge maybe im not the one to be asking this question because im filling in for kennedy tonight, but why do we give this woman so much attention . Why is it every time she makes one of these socialist comments, we take the time to talk about it and further yet again her misrepresentations about the way the economy works . Because in the antibusiness agenda has become very trendy among far left progressives, but ive got to tell you, judge, i dont think that this messaging will be successful among the general population when it comes time for the election in 2020. Weve seen joe biden and elizabeth juan saying warren saying very similar things, going after amazon as well. But its the free market that should determine wages as we know as libertarians. When i was in high school, i was desperate to work for walmart because i wanted to earn some extra money, but i wasnt able to get a job because of the competition. A lot of the people in my town wanted those jobs. Its competition that determines fair wages. Judge jblg we have less than a minute left. Does aocs message resonate with young people . And if not, with whom does it resonate . It resonates in very deep blue pockets of the country, and that includes many young people who live in those deep blue pockets. But right now the economy is doing so well, judge, for all of trump thes flaws, the one thing hes done well is purring Economic Growth spurring Economic Growth. So as more young people get jobs and start making money, i think that this message is going to fall flat. Did you know with vanishing deductible, you can earn 100 off your deductible for every year of safe driving . Sing that. Vanishing deductible, you can. Earn 100. Earn 100 off. Off your deductible. Deductible. For every year of safe driving. For every for every for every year of safe driving. What are you what key are you in . E. No, no, go to g. G will be too high. Not for me. Vanishing deductible. Oh, gosh. Sweet, sweet. When it comes to type 2 diabetes, are you thinking about your heart . Well, im managing my a1c, so i should be all set. Actually, youre still at risk for a fatal heart attack or stroke. Thats where jardiance comes in. It reduces the risk of dying from a cardiovascular event for adults who have type 2 diabetes and known heart diseas. Thats why the American Diabetes association recommends the active ingredient in jardiance. And it lowers a1c . With diet and exercise. Jardiance can cause serious side effects including dehydration, genital yeast or urinary tract infections, and sudden kidney problems. Ketoacidosis is a serious side effect that may be fatal. A rare, but lifethreatening, bacterial infection in the skin of the perineum could occur. Stop taking jardiance and call your doctor right away if you have symptoms of this bacterial infection, ketoacidosis, or an allergic reaction. Do not take jardiance if you are on dialysis or have severe kidney problems. Taking jardiance with a sulfonylurea or insulin may cause low blood sugar. So, what do you think . Now i feel i can do more to go beyond lowering a1c. Ask your doctor about jardiance today. Now i feel i can do more to go beyond lowering a1c. [laughter] im okay.
