This is the place that could use a lesson in liberty. Well try to give them one because, im surrounded by students here, more than a thousand of them who traveled to join a conference called, students for liberty. Because here in Washington Life is dominated by democrats, who want to take away our economic liberty, republicans who often want to take away our pennal liberty. There are a couple exceptions to that. One is congressman justin amash from mesh ban. [cheers and applause] michigan. He is unusual because he has an economics degree. He worries a lot about americas coming bankruptcy. We are probably going bankrupt. How many of you students think, when youre my age medicare will be here to pay for your heart problem . No. John youre wise, im sorry. We will have spent all the money. But republicans are not talking about fixing it. A little bit, but not much. Not enough. And there is a problem we face as a country. Young people dont believe theyre going to receive these benefits they have been promise. So i am a strong believer, we have to deal with these issues now. For people who are younger we have to change the system or the system will go bankrupt. John a simpler one Exportimport Bank. Corporate welfare. Special gifts to certain companies. You want to get rid of this . Absolutely, we should get rid of it. Republicans should be against it. There are a lot more republicans against corporate welfare Exportimport Bank. Unfortunately weve to then pushback from the white house and received pushback from some republican and democratic leaders. Nancy pelosi says, it is an essential tool, enabling american manufacture us. Competitor nations all have exim banks. Chairman of ge crucial for u. S. Companies. Transfer of money from regular americans, from young people, those paying taxes to rich people. Corporate welfare should be done away with. [cheers and applause] john justin amash is also an unusual congressman because he explains his votes. He does it on social media. When Congress Finally voted to approve the Keystone Pipeline amash was only republican to vote no . Why . The pipeline is good what is with you people . I want the oil. Pipeline is a good thing. But the way the bills have been written are such that one company is receiving a special benefit from the government. If youre going to improve the approval process you have to approve it for every company. You cant just decide that one company is going to be exempt and every other company has to follow the laws. John that why is hayak firmly bense, hayak one of my heroes. [applause] john you stated your reasons on facebook. Why . Well i think it is important for people at home to know why were voting on things and what were voting on. We have to hold congress accountable. The only way to hold us accountable to hear from us what were doing. I think it should be expectation of members of congress they explain themselves. They dont have to do it through facebook. They could use other methods. Should tell the public tell them why they voted way they did on every single vote. [applause] john lets just take one issue before we go to questions. The patriot act is coming up for renewal, or parts of it. One part is the nsa big data collection. Thats right. John you have opposed this. And i have taken heat from libertarians because i say, what obama says. It is just he metadata it is not your personal phone call and it might stop terrorism. [booing] educate me. The governments collection of metadata is just as dangerous as its collection of content. If the government were collecting content i would think that thats a bad thing but metadata is actually bad. People need to understand with metadata they can figure out what youre doing throughout your life. They can figure out who youre calling. Figure out whether you have a medical condition. Think about all the phone records that you have and all of the ways in which the government can decipher based on who youre calling, when youre calling them and how long youre talking to them, what youre doing each day. John fellow republican, former House Intelligence Committee chairman said, this program is used to stop a terrorist attack in the last few years. People do want to kill us. There are people on the Intelligence Committee who will say just the opposite. Who say that this program hasnt been effective. It is not useful. Even setting all that aside, even if it were effective once in a while, we have a constitution we have to follow. [cheers and applause] john one just one more question. You are personally an orthodox christian. Thats right. John many people with whom you worship, they oppose gay marriage. They oppose legal drugs. A lot of things people libertarians say should be left free to people. Your position . Well my position is that the federal government should get out of these areas and leave it to the private workings of society. My church has its own beliefs on marriage. And federal government shouldnt tell me whether that is right or wrong. So i dont think there should be [cheers and applause] john students. You have questions for congressman amash . Come on up to the microphone. My name is grace charlton. I go to university of virginia. Congressman amash, likes liberty enough to elect you. How do we get more people like you elected . [cheers and applause] well, thank you, first of all you can encourage people in your district to run. If you stay true to your principles and if you explain yourself to the public, people are very accepting of Members Congress who maybe have a different perspective. They want a Member Congress who has an independent outlook. John they do . Absolutely. When i go home i hear from democrats and republicans who say, thank you for what youre doing. I might not agree with you on every vote at least youre explaining yourself and at least youre thinking for yourself. [applause] thank you. Hi, my name is zack silverman. I go to clemson university. Last night we had Edward Snowden speak to us via skype. My question, how think Edward Snowdens actions would be judged differently by media especially if he had exposed same level of corruption and lawlessness from within a corporation rather than from within the government . [applause] i think it might be treated differently. John some conservatives say he committed treason. People putting their lives on the line for america may die because of what he revealed. Well i think he broke the law. I think he should pay for breaking the law. I think that is requirement under our system that people take responsibility for breaking the law. But i also think that the law is bad the way it is written. The law should be changed. We need to allow people inside whistleblowers come to people on the outside like Member Congress. For example, snowden and others like him can not come to regular member about Congress Like me. They have to go through the Intelligence Committee. That is outrageous. They should be able to go to anyone in congress. We all have clearance tell us about the problems so we can address it. [applause] hi, my name is crystal. Im from salem college, in North Carolina. We recently spoke about how we financing Social Security and other things we are voting to spends in the budget all this money on nsa how do basically other congressman and yourself justify voting for the nsa, putting it in the budget when were not funding things we already promised to people . Were spending way too much as a government. We need to cut john to be clear you didnt cut all the nsa and half defense and you wouldnt touch entitlement problem. The problem of course is that the largest areas of government are Social Security, military spending which is a very large area, medicare and medicaid. You have to address those four areas to really put a dent into the budget problem that we have. I think there are members of congress committed to doing that but unfortunately the people who run congress right now have been not very committed to it. Thank you. [applause] hello. Im dan. Im from new york city and i go to school at binghamton. I was wondering when you talking to our colleagues trying to persuade them to take more liberty friendly stand do they debate you or brush you off . My colleagues are great. They are nice people. We have great discussions with some exceptions. There are a couple that are a little nasty but, most of them are very nice people. We have excellent discussions and, you would be surprised how receptive they are to liberty ideas. A lot of times there are political pressures put on them. So, i think just a matter of gaining more courage. Im hopeful that my last election gave them a little bit of courage. Thanks so much. [applause] im like really starstruck right now. My names emily. I go to york college in pennsylvania and my question was, in terms medicare and medicaid reform, do you think it might have been, might be easier to reform those policies if there were more younger people voting because since it is older generations are not going going to vote for somebody who is going to cut all of their health care and john we vote. You dont. Politicians have no incentive to say that theyre going to reform it if theyre not getting voted for. It is true young people dont vote at high enough rate. It would make a difference. It would make an impact if young people got out and voted. I especially would like to see that because young people are more libertarian. And john wait a second. Theyre also more liberal and sometimes stupider. Would you really want all your College Friends to vote . These, these are smart young people and they understand that liberty is the future. [applause] hi, my name is gail. I attend university of michigan, go blue. Bo blue. Has there been any animosity with your peers in congress with your extreme popularity on social media, especially with your heated Reelection Campaign . Can you speak towards that . That is great question. Some people dont like it, it is true. I received pushback from leadership at times complaining about my vote explanations. The reason they dont like it because if my vote explanation contradicts something they are pushing as leadership team, it makes them look bad. Nonetheless i think it is important that people do it. I think it is important people explain themselves and leadership doesnt like that because they want to control the whole process. John thank you justin amash. [applause] thank you. John for you to join the conversation, follow me on twitter fbn stossel. Use ifslc15. Which is horrible hashtag who can remember that. Stands for International Students for Liberty Conference in 2015. Or more simply, like my Facebook Page and post on my wall. Next, students fight for freedom outside america too. In this country marxists prevented students from going to class. [applause] [cheers and applause] john were back in washington at the students for Liberty Conference. More than a thousand students came here to advocate for a free society. Economic freedom personal freedom, and intellectual freedom. Theyre members after group called students for liberty. It was founded seven years ago by alexander mcoven. Today students for liberty includes more than 1300 groups around the world. Jorge start ad group in honduras. Jorge, how did you find out about students for liberty. All started in 2009 when my country went through a deep crisis. It was under those circumstances i was trying to understand everything going on in my country i started to get interested in Political Science and economic science. John he went to youtube you put in how does the economy work . That is right. I how does the economy work. I found Milton Friedman videos from liberty and a liberty videos from the institute for human studies. John learn liberty, four ways economists think were all wrong. Why 1 of history have 90 of the wealth. Sexonomics, what not to do on tinder. From this you learned that we know what makes a country prosper. They werent doing it in honduras. They werent doing it. Im also a law student. When i read legislation of my country i started to get what was wrong. And i thought it had to change. And there was nobody like presenting these ideas. The ideas of liberty that have actually a lot of evidence that the countries implement these ideas get prosperity, peaceful coexistence and human dignity. Which is what i think my country needs. John and, alex, this is one country, 1300 similar groups . All six inhabbed continents. Were organizing 50 conferences for 10,000 students around the world this academic world. John none of this existed. College republicans democrats. This is it. This is very different. Students learn about libertarianism through internet and peers study ideas and through events like this unavailable a decade ago. John jorge marxist tried to stop you from going to law school. This happens john, everywhere in latin america. There is a lot of marxist student groups that usually take over the National Universities as a means of protest. When i say they take it over, they usually like get students out of their classrooms either by violence or threat of violence. John they marched into your classes . They marched into those classes and took the students out. There were several john told them get out or physically removed them . Both ways. Some people obeyed. Some others didnt. It got more violent. John this time Something Different happened. Now you had ha Libertarian Group who spoke up. That is right. We managed to rally over 200 students who bravely opposed the takeover and john saying we want to go to class . Thats right. They started chanting at assembly, they wanted to go to classes. Marxist students didnt know what was going on because they werent opposed. John they called you a terrorist. Rightwing fascist and threats to them with bombs. Unfortunately this experience is becoming all too common seeing in student for liberty. Last year in venezuela during student protests against the regime we took threats against our student leaders so seriously we helped evacuate them to neighboring country to protect them but more recently weve seen nazis break into students for Liberty Events in serbia and assault some of our students to try to shut down conversations. Weve seen our students arrested in the gambia. We actually just learned about one of our students being beaten up by police in ethiopia, just a couple weeks ago. Simply for holding an event to discuss these ideas. But, inspiring thing is that students like jorge and others are not backing down in the face of these thugs. Theyre continuing on. John fortunately most of you are from america. You havent had this happen. You have questions for alexander or jorge come up to the microphone. John, im from bristol virginia, go to university of virginia. My question for who are say. I had cousin not recently, last year was protested in venezuela put in jail. What do you think the future for central and south america is moving forward . John south america has the same resources we have but it stayed poor when north america got rich. Do people have a sense it was government that did that . I dont think they did. All the history and sociology teachers give a marxist view of history and tell us how america became rich by exploiting latin america which makes no sense at all. Hi, my name is sally. I go to the university of waterloo in canada, ontario. Whoo i want to know what was going through your mind when you were taken hostage . Of course we were a little afraid but we actually had more support than we thought we had. But, when the chanting started when all the students started chanting we want classes, then thats when i found out how broad our support was. I saw how they were probably even more afraid that we were. A week later when they tried to take over the university again for security reasons as they decided not to participate, but the students from State University they stood up by themselves and didnt let marxist students take the university. [applause] hi, my name is jack gordon, from sioux falls south dakota but i attend the university of iowa. What will it take to get momentum we need to start a real revolution in this country . [applause] going to take you and everyone else in this room to take personal responsibility for making this country a freer place. Joining us with leadership programs. Organizing more events like this. Making liberty one of your life projects. Changing society to support freedom more broadly. Remember what jorge said more people supported the antishutdown movement than supported it. People that supported the shutdown. Same case with what youre doing. More people agree with principles of liberty and support our ideas that we really know. John thank you, alexander, and jorge. Coming up, students with guns. [cheers and applause] sids affects infants less than a year old with ages up to four months being particularly vulnerable. If the baby is sleeping in the bed with someone else, it increases the risk for sids or accidental suffocation. Now, they can sleep in that same room with someone else, beside the bed, just not in the bed. Nothing else in the sleep area. Remove all play items and soft objects from the crib at sleep time, and that includes bumper pads. Place baby on a firm safety approved crib mattress. Avoid overdressing your baby or setting the thermostat too high. And when it comes to sleeping, always, always,always place baby on his or her back. And get some rest, cuz youre gonna need it clapping yay [cheers and applause] john were back at the students for Liberty Conference and i want to ask you, how many of you are carrying a gun now . Yeah, youre in washington, d. C. You would be jailed if you carried a gun but should you be allowed to carry a gun on your campus . [cheers and applause] john really . You are College Students and you are known for getting wasted and doing stupid things. And you want guns . Yeah john all right. We have group for students for concealed carry says it is important that students be allowed to have guns and, conceal them. Why . First of all, students are still people. We still have rights. [cheers and applause] creating a gunfree zone is, it is effectually impossible. John that is what colleges do. This is gunfree zone. A smart thing a smart criminal will do find someone who is not able to fight back. You create an entire population of vulnerable students when you tell them that they cant with a license even carry a firearm for selfprotection. John youre not saying all students. Youre saying obey state age laws. Some students are quite young. Whatever the age of majority. What about my point about all people getting drunk . Already illegal to carry while youre drinking, the whole mixing guns and alcohol argument that is already illegal. The whole argument is that criminals are not following laws. People who are following laws, need to be able to protect themselves. John a few universities do allow concealed carry. Colorado state began allowing it in 2003. Violent crime there is down 60 . Colorado university kept its carry ban. Violent crime is up 35 . When you create a victimrich environment, a gunfree zone, it just attracts criminals. It is a natural response. And we cherrypick colorado but there is data in 27 years study of all states no state showed a increase in gun violence as a result of legalizing concealed carry. More places are legalizing it now. Even illinois has permits now. So like i think john even illinois, illinois is really backward state . Not so that much theyre backwards, it is you know, theyre learning. [laughter] [applause] the. John we have questions for kraley come up. Im eric. Originally from california but i go to school in d. C. Two places not very friendly to guns. Im sorry. I was wondering, what kind of education programs, or what kind of message have you given to get people over the stigma that guns have, that guns are bad and they kill people . What has been effective. John guns do kill people. People kill people. People kill people. [applause] im really glad you brought that up. One of the things we found is, giving people exposure to firearms, a lot of people have never held one in their life. They have been misled by hollywood or certain senators who think that things like ghost guns exist or that there are that you know, a regular five by six round is heatseeking bullet. One thing well do, well raffle gun safety courses, have a live fire portion, or well just have people come in who are students, just like they are, who have had a different experience and it is it is contact with firearms and with people who carry firearms. You realize theyre not crazy. Theyre not violent. People who carry firearms generally have a great sense of responsibility because youre raised with it. [cheers and applause] hi, my name is sara. I used to attend simmons in boston small Womans College necklace one of the highest race areas in major city. In our school we were not allowed to carry pepper spray. I lived on campus i had no forms of defense. What i asked major heads security what i do defend myself. She recommended i carry hairspray because it stings someone in the eyes. What would you recommend i do in that situation. I dont feel safe. I heard many stories like yours. I feel it is terrible. University is not your parents. Theyre not in charge of you. They cant tell you what measures you can or cant take to protect themselves. John to be clear you are winning the war. Idaho recently legalized concealed carry, kansas, mississippi, oregon utah, wisconsin. On campus. Take selfdefense class. Might be lobby for university to get one of those than a gun course or to allow carry. John thank you. Next, we play a game of, real or fake. Based on stupid things that happened on american campuses. [applause] woman did you look . Did you go to the schoolyard . Man calm down, please. Where did you look . We, we, we we didnt make a plan. Somehow, we just if i just. Hes a smart boy and hes gonna be ok. Ok, try to call him again. Theres no reception. Everythings down. Try i cant. Try already. Nothings working. Well, just try. Everythings down. Dont you think hes on his way . Please. Is he ok . Laura. Please tell me hes ok. I need you to calm down. What . Its my baby. This is so bad. I miss him. Hes out there by himself. Narrator make sure you know where to find your family in an emergency. Start your plan at ready. Gov. [cheers and applause] john i hear that on campuses Political Correctness is now so out of control, someone saying people cant even tell what is real or whats fake. Lets test this with you in the audience. Some of you have these signs. A College President recently said, all lives matter. And then apologized for saying that. So is that real or fake . Real. John some of you knew yes smith College President said, i shouldnt have said all lives. This distracts attention from the black lives matter protest. And so it was wrong what i said. Two, a College Professor apologized for saying i feel some kinship with stalin. Real or fake . John yeah, youre pretty split on that. It is fake. Month Claire University professor did not apologize. Stalin maybe killed 30 Million People. He said stalin never committed a crime. [laughing] finally one more, a College Student wrote a School Newspaper column making fun of micro aggressions. Students vandalized his dorm room. True or false. You know about that . That that is good. That student is here with us. Omar is here along with greg, who follows cases like these. Omar what did you write about micro aggressions . It was really tame satire. My dad, who might disagree with me politically said, that was classy. So these people, the fact that what they, that they reacted so intoably what i wrote serves ironically. John how knows what a micro aggression is. Explain what is going on. Micro aggression is paper cut. Someone might look at you strangely. Someone might mispronounce your name. Youre trying hard to do that. Point it can be anything. Can be anything the princeton started something tiger micro aggressions. No one is allowed to tell anyone else what is micro aggression and what isnt. If youre oaf phonedded you play the victim card and certain power. John this is glowing movement . You have a right not to be offended ad confirmed in every possible way. We made it very difficult to talk about anything on college campuses. We come up with theory after theory to actually shut down rather than facilitate debate. John omar, in your article you have fix tick r tissues fictitious character who false downstairs and refuses help when a white man. I thought it was manifestation of patriarchy patronizing me. Your moustache is it another instance patriarchy. [applause] john you write this article. What happened . Well, i was fired from the campus newspaper for creating a hostile environment. Where i drew well i had negated peoples existence i was told. Where i drew the line, when they told me i have to apologize public toy people who dont even want to tell me who they are. Come on, have the guts, have the dignity to come and talk to me like a mature adult what i wrote. John after omars article was published, some students sneaked into his Apartment Building vandalized some things. Dont even go here, leave along with expletives. Plenty of expletives. People argue with you in person or in, really not . No. This is all behind closed doors. I sent these perpetrators four texts in december. They refused to apply. John youre beyond the pale. They do not want dialogue. It is a theme throughout what they do, they tried to invoke harrassment law say you cant write this incredibly, i would call his satire cute. It was sweet. They tried to say that is hostile environment so we have to fire you. You see harrassment rationales build up. Giant cannon of title ix harrassment. We had a case, incident at City University of new york system where they told students that they couldnt, or employees that they couldnt use mr. Or ms. On campus because it would violate title ix. They pull this out for everything. John at marquette university. It was decided forbidden to even question gay marriage . Part one, professor in a class tell as student we cant really debate gay marriage in class, that would be offensive and wrong. John no talking about it. So another professor blogs about this and theyre now trying to fire the professor who blogged about it. And students dont getup set about this. Sometimes they do. The students in this room are terrific students. Students for liberty has consistently been on the side of free speech and open dialogue. [applause] is. John omar how has this ended for you. It ended well. Im on stossel. [applause] john on that note, thank you omar. Greg. Coming up an american a day. Poll shows between socialism and capitalism young people actually prefer socialism. [booing] its harder whenever theres a bigger group. Pretty much a good day for me would be people leaving their hands off of me. Im always called names. Um, everywhere that i go theres always someone calling me names, calling me gay. Ive been choked. Thrown up against a wall. Punched. Nobodys ever tried to help me. [applause] john when i went to college my professors were pretty clear. It was simple. Good people go into public service. Greedy selfish people try to make money. So, how many of you heard that message from your professors in school . Some, im happy not so many. A recent survey of young people asked, which is better socialism or capitalism . Slightly more picked socialism. I think are they crazy . Socialism eats freedom an opportunity. Brian teaches economics at Kings College in manhattan. One student came into your office said, is it okay if i go into business . Yeah, it was sort of like she was admitting that she had cheated on an exam or something. Put her head down said, is it all right if i want to go into business . I thought to myself, is this state of our situation now among young people . We have to sort of apologize for interest in going into the marketplace . If that is good news. John the Kings College, is place more symphony think tech tan most. It is so surprising about it. But our students feel this urge to go into the nonprofit space, they have their sense look ahead in the future, a fork in the road. Go into the forprofit sector make money and Nonprofit Sector do good but the worlds dont overlap. John only way to make money in the forprofit sector give something customers really need or want. Just about half of millenials surveyed in the poll the way the rich gets rich at somebodys else expense. Theyre systematically looking away from the private sector and looking toward nonprofit, social enterprise, ngo sector. Theyre cutting off some opportunities for themselves. John in countries where there isnt much of a capitalist sector, like nigeria turkey, china, vietnam people have a higher view of the marketplace than america. Yeah they have, they have eyes to see what we enjoy. John i should be clear, that the people who said they prefer socialism to capitalism were just people your age younger than age 30. And it was a very narrow difference. It may be that they just dont know what Socialism Means . I think that is actually true. When you ask the question slightly differently, hey who do you want controlling your life, private sector interactions or government interactions, most say i want the private sector to be determining factor in my life. John critics say we libertarians talk, were selfish, dont care other people that is why we support business. One we tend not to be as good at pointing out some other aspects of the market that antimarket folks have claimed, Like Community or justice or relationships or inclusiveness. These are things that the market actually fosters. Almost nobody in this room would say i love markets because they foster justice. I love markets because they build community. John they build community because they bring people together. How do they foster justice. Because we, everybody has a shot to go into the marketplace to serve somebody. Markets create that opportunity for them. We should be talking about things like justice. John students, do you have questions for brian . Hi, my name is cory. I live in florida and go to seminole state college. I agree that in perfectly free market with competition that truly only way to make a profit is to serve customers. But given that the way our current economy works tends to be very corporatist, like you mentioned before, Exportimport Bank or Federal Reserve intellectual property and licensing restrictions things like that. Dont you think a lot of rich people today are getting rich at expense of others . Half of congress are millionaires. Do you really think they got rich by serving customers . We tend to Pay Attention where markets break down. Market pope opponents love to Pay Attention to cases where markets break down. 99. 9 of the market transactions are every day where it is working well for both people. I would love to see us get better telling that story telling that narrative. Using some language that has been coopted by antimarket forces to start bringing that back into the fold. I think it is actually ours to begin with. [applause] hi, im hunter. I go to university of North Carolina at chapel hill. I love capitalism but there are a lot of people out there that associate it with negative things such as imperialism, or, corporatism. The rest of your peer group will hear that and say another guy who loves capitalism. What is capital to begin with . I dont even know what capital is. We need to think about changing way we talk about. Hey, im soandso i love justice. Im soandso i love inclusiveness, and Community Formation that is why im a fan of capitalism or free markets. [applause] hi, my name is patrick. Im from lakewood, colorado, but i go to school here at american university. Which if you know is one of the most liberal campuses in america. I was wondering if you think it would be a good idea to promote free market ideas and capitalism through evidence of markets that many of these liberals support such as Medicinal Marijuana prochoice like abortion clinics . The vast swath of americans arent there not convinced about markets will get distracted by highprofile controversial nature of those issues. Not thinking about markets or think about marijuana or abortion. That is really not where you want to lead them. Start with stuff nobody disagrees it is good happening not because you have a designer not because of central planner happening because people in community are spontaneously working together to serve one another. Those are stories actually think move people and dont distract people. Thank you. [applause] john thank you, brian. Thank you, students. Coming up, you people here are obviously brilliant because you get it. Youre here because you understand the benefits of individual liberties. So how did they get it . We learn that when we come back. [applause] [narrator female] quiet please. Wait a sec. Ill take one. Oh yeah. Alright. All good. Take care. Way to go. Nice. Bring it on. Gotcha. Im here for you. Oh no. Please, please. Please. Im waiting. Interesting. Not buying it. Not fair. Thats it. This conversation is over. Oh, brother. [narrator male] body language can tell you all sorts of things. [narrator female] im having a stroke. Im having a stroke. [narrator male] know the sudden signs. Learn f. A. S. T. F face drooping aarm weakness s speech difficulty t time, time to call 911 immediately. The sooner they get to the hospital, the sooner theyll get treatment, and that can make a remarkable difference in their recovery. Learn the body language, the sudden signs and spot a stroke f. A. S. T. [ applause ]. John 1500 students from around the world gather here to debate what makes for a free society . But i got to wonder why are you all here . Its a weekend. Youre giving up party time. Why do you care . Did your parents teach you this . How many of you got it from your parents. [ cheers ]. John not many did you read a book instead of the statue of liberty, she holds three books, free to shrug free to choose and the constitution of liberty. How many of you woke up because of one of those books. How many atlas shrug. The constitution of liberty. [ cheers and applause ] [ cheers and applause ]. John really . Its a tough book. Economics in one easy lesson. [ cheers ]. John Milton Friedman . How many of you woke up because of a College Course . Very few. How many of you got it from ron paul . [ cheers and applause ]. John quite a lot. And finally how many of you got it because when you were in high school, one of your teachers played one of my stossel in the classroom tv shows, and you had a discussion about it. [ cheers and applause ]. John all right we have these videos, and people do learn some of these ideas in high school. Earlier i asked some of you about this individually. What got you interested in liberty . I had a professor who taught paul krugman and Milton Friedman and i liked friedman better. Watching ron paul got me interested. I came across ron paul. Ron paul. Youtube videos on friedman. John where did you find them . I typed it in the search box, and Milton Friedman came up and ive been hooked. I heard about libertarian from you, on fox news. My economics and government teacher in high school played your public choice video. These are not the kind of ideas showing up in textbooks that are written nowadays. Im originally from russia, and moving to the united states, i saw that there is such thing as liberty. John right the young people sure know more about liberty and life than i did when i was their age. Thats good news thats our show. From the students for Liberty Conference, see you next week for another new episode in our new time slot friday on fbn. Good night z have a great weekend. David the willis report is next. Hello everybody im gerri willis and this is the willis report, the show where consumers are our business it is latest screw up by the irs. No refunds for now. Nearly a Million People are told to delay filing their taxes. No, it is not operating smoothly at all. I suspect it never will. Gerri a Government Panel has new rules for food and it aint sweet. Feds say they want to transform what we eat. Cars, made by apple, on the road in five years. Is this even real and would you drive one . I like what theyre doing with the cars but biggest knock against microsoft was they never diversified away from their operating systems. Also a nation shivers. Recordsetting deep freeze, wont let up. To
