Decisionmaking power back to the individuals. Individuals can make the best decisions for themselves, and they can spend their money better than bureaucrats and lobbyists in washington. Host now, tell us a little bit about the Libertarian Party. What is your platform, and how would you govern as a libertarian . Guest our platform is basically, we are on your side. Not the lobbyists, special interest groups, or the professional politicians in washington. With the environment, what we would do is we would look at it as pollution. If you look around the world, wherever there is bigger government, there is more pollution. Wherever there is less government, theres less pollution. In fact, i was on a debate stage with a socialist candidate, who, in her closing, said, you know, the u. S. Department of defense is the largest polluter on earth, and then she went on to say how horrible corporations were. Well, what i would say is you do not go to the people who are causing the problem.

Chair jerry nadler. Death ofer the tragic george floyd has been a wakeup call for americans feel yet the streets are lined with protesters demanding fundamental change in the culture of Law Enforcement and meaningful accountability for officers who commit misconduct.

Too many Law Enforcement officers do not oppose the ethic of protecting and serving their community. Instead the reality for too many americans, especially for too many africanamericans, is that Police Officers are perceived as a threat to their liberties, dignity, and all too often to their safety. To those who do not believe it, look at the tragic statistics. Africanamericans are more than twice as likely to be shot and killed by police each year. And black men between the ages of 15 and 34 are approximately 10 times more likely to be killed by police than other americans. This is not a new problem. Our countrys history of racism and racially motivated violence, rooted in the original sin of slavery, and lynchings and jim crow and systemic racism continues to haunt our nation. We see it in the rat
