You could see on his face that he had no idea how to respond to Cenk's obvious point in a way that makes any sense, so he quickly tied it up with, "Well, there's our disagreement!" and jumped ship.

Johnsons entire sell is him talking like a nice guy. He is a wolf in sheep's clothing. You peel away the nice "I'm in favor of lgbt rights" and "end the war on drugs" and you find stuff like abolishing the IRS, the department of education, the income tax, unlimited campaign donations, and more private prisons.

I really want to see Gary Johnson debate with Hillary Clinton. I watched the debate last night and heard nothing new. Right now it's between Gary Johnson and Hillary for me, with Johnson ahead for being generally honest and mostly practical while standing against raising taxes, crony capitalism, and foreign interventions. If Hillary wants my vote, she has to convince me she would be a better choice, and the only way to do that would be to dare to debate him head to head and refute his arguments point by point. I want her to explain why she's a better choice than Johnson, not why she's a better choice than Trump. A cabbage would be a better choice than Trump.

I don't agree with many of Governor Johnson's positions, but I respect the heck out of the guy. I lean more towards the Green Party myself in terms of policy, but I would much rather see him as President than either Clinton or Trump.

Some (like myself) are just socially liberal, and economically fiscal. Gary is also quite the environmentalist, and supports taxing emissions. Libertarians have never been against Unions. They have never been against people voluntarily collaborating, or negotiating. Libertarians are not in favor of unregulated immigration. Gary simply wants to make the process easier for immigrants to get temporary work visas. Educate yourself, and stop vomiting knee-jerk reaction, made-up propaganda.

TehMorbidAtheist You apparently don't comprehend the difference between a little "l" libertarian, and a big "L" Libertarian. I addressed them simply by stating they were nonsense. Gary has never stood for privatizing roads, privatizing social security, privatizing schools, etc. Literally that hunk of shit you posted is pure bullshit Gary never supported. Literally all of your responses are nonsense. Educate yourself on Gary Johnson. He's always stood for legalizing marijuana. He wasn't able to legalize it in his state as governor, and releasing prisoners of those crimes was not what he promised to do in his campaign as governor. Again, libertarians have said that unregulated immigration would also effect property rights. If you bring a disease in, that effects other people, and their property, livestock, etc, we can't have that. Once again, Gary Johnson's only stance on immigration was to make it easier with temporary work visas, and to not deport 11 million undocumented workers. On the Environment: "The environment is a precious gift and needs to be protected. Gov. Johnson believes strongly that the first responsibility of government is to protect citizens from those who would do them harm, whether it be a foreign aggressor, a criminal - or a bad actor who harms the environment upon which we all depend. Consistent with that responsibility, Gary Johnson believes it is the proper role of government to enforce reasonable environmental protections. He did so as Governor, and would do so as President." www.johnsonweld.com/environment Gary Johnson supporting taxing emissions: dailycaller.com/2016/08/22/gary-johnson-backs-co2-fee-to-fight-global-warming/ Competition creates better schools dumbass. And Gary Johnson never endorsed privatizing all schools.

"what if Bill Gates was all about better government..." And that's where I think he just doesn't get it. It doesn't matter what that donor wants. The person running should represent the people, not just those specific donors. I don't want a person to run and win by the grace of a donors giant money pool, but by the grace of a groundswell of the American people backing him. And I thinks it's great that Cenk actually presented a resistance to what Gary was saying instead of just going along with it with no opinion like normal media reporters would. Plus, he wasn't snarky or condescending as he did it, they just had a conversation. This is what we need more of.

I admit I disagree with some of his positions, but he is by far the best of the top four. If you avoid voting for him simply because you think he can't win, or that it's a wasted vote or "really voting for Trump/Clinton", then you deserve the two party mess that we have! #LetGaryDebate #15for15

The free market is always better than government solutions. If green energy is really the wave of the future, then people will want to buy it and the private companies will succeed. Seems that your option would be for the government to force-feed green energy whether people want it or not, which will be a waste of taxpayer money. Even if you believe that human-based climate change, if you don't have consumers on board, these green companies like Solyndra will fail and will just throw more money down the drain that could at least have been used to loan to private companies who, unlike the government, have an incentive to succeed, and actually create jobs. Private prisons - Why not? We've been conditioned to believe that things like schools, DMVs and prisons MUST be run by the government. Why? Putting these things in private hands will save taxpayer money, because private businesses have to worry about bottom line and the government doesn't. We already have private security firms working with the U.S. government. Can they be trusted? Well the Federal government releases convicted illegal aliens all the time, won't secure our border, and lets rapists and murderers go with minimum time. Do they do this any better? He did not say he supports the TPP. He said it has to be investigated. What specifically don't you like about TPP? The Department of Education is unconstitutional, and unlike most who complain about this I will actually back it up: The 10th Amendment to the Constitution says that every function not mentioned in the Federal Constitution automatically goes to the states. Education, both K-12 and college, is the sole responsibility of states. The Federal Dept of Education serves no purpose, and circumvents the Constitution by taking state tax money, then returning 80 cents on the dollar under the condition that the states follow Federal rules. Education belongs in state or private hands, but the Federal government has no say in this. It's a waste of money and unconstitutional federal overreach. Wants to get rid of the IRS - It will not be replaced by ANYTHING. Implement a simple flat tax, and stop with the bloated government agencies - the IRS has more employees than the FBI and CIA combined, and has its only purpose taking taxpayer money. Why do we need a 90,000 employee agency to run all these complicated tax rules, thousands of pages of regulations? The IRS is too big and too powerful if they're able to take your money by force, and use its influence to punish conservative organizations that don't agree with the Washington establishment. And as far as progressive tax, explain to me why the rich need to pay a higher percentage. There's no reasoning for that, other than we have to make the "rich" pay their "fair" share because some government bureaucracy has determined that they can decide what people are allowed to make and how much they are "allowed" to keep. Libertarians are for smaller government and lower taxes, because we believe in freedom and that individuals, businesses, communities, and states know better how to run things than government bureaucrats. The government is not your daddy and it's not there to fund everything that you conveniently declare to be a "right."

The IRS didn't exist until 1862 so we got by for 74 years just fine without it. I am saying that we don't need a bloated 90,000 employee organization that exists for the sole purpose of collecting money. YOU don't seem to get that. Your education stance is nothing but a straw man issue. You seem to be saying that State Board of Educations, and individual teachers and parents are morons? Anyone who is not a government-approved union teacher is a moron? You're the one who doesn't want to live in reality. Parents know far better than anyone else how their children should best be educated. Educating children is a parental responsibility (with help from the schools), and not for Federal interference. How about the current state run schools that are too busy teaching about white privilege and social justice than to teach about the Constitution and U.S. History. We simply say that the parents and states know better than a federal bureaucrat how to educate their kids.

This can't however happen in countries like many in Europe when certain news stations receive subsidies and they are the only one that are able to stay "alive". b) No i can't point to a perfect free market society because there isn't one nor has there every been. This is because of crony capitalism as well as some people's laziness that results in them delegating decisions to the government which allows it to grow and become more powerful.

hello there Minnesota, looking at the link sent here looks like she did actually make it on, didn't think she was, it was real iffy last time I looked at it a few months ago. So yeah, guess I get to vote for her after all. That's cool to know, didn't think I'd get an option of voting for someone I actually would like to win.

The difference between Gary and Cenk is that Gary is not corruptible and Cenk is as evidenced by their last debate about campaign finance.

Question for other viewers: This video only shows up in search for me but not listed in the video section of TYT. Anyone else?

Many people are confused why Bernie supporters voted for Gary Johnson. I can explain this since I voted for Bernie in the primary and then Gary in the general election. In terms of social views I viewed Bernie Sanders as being relatively Libertarian. While I view both Trump and Clinton as Authoritarians. To me, social issues matter more than economic issues. I feel that it is the social policies of Bernie Sanders and not necessarily his economic policies that those who went from Bernie to Gary took precedent over.

This doesn't make sense at all. Sanders is socialist, and by definition, authoritarian. Relatively libertarian being leftist is only possible if you're a anarchist or something close to that.

Thanks for interviewing Gary Johnson! Most people don't want to take the time. People deserve all the options out there.

Unlimited campaign contributions are inherently crony capitalist in nature. Even if the contributor doesn't directly ask the politician for favors, the politician's views more directly align with the contributor's. Therefor, one person can influence the process to a considerably higher degree than regular voters.

Exactly. It's not just the expectation of favors paid in return for contributions. Even if campaign contributions were made anonymously so that candidates didn't know who to return favors to, more funds would still flow to candidates that support big business because that's where most of the funds come from. The 1% get to pre-select the field of candidates that the general population votes on.

cavalrycome​ but the people still ultimately decide who gets elected. Rather I should say the people "SHOULD" decide. The problem isn't campaign donations it's the fact that it's a rigged system. Take the Democrat party this year. Even though hillary got more donation money, sanders still would have won if not for the rigged system that just doesn't care what the people want. The government and big businesses just put who they want there and that happens regardless of campaign donations. Just need to restore a real election where the people decide.

Michael Strom I think we can both agree that it should be up to the people to decide, but I don't quite follow your point. Hillary Clinton had more money and won. That is part of the reason she won. She also had the support of the wealthy interests who own corporate media along with the wealthy interests who the corporate media seek as advertising customers, so it's really what you'd expect to happen if you allowed the political process to be at the mercy of the free market. Rich people have louder voices within the system so can control the flow of information to bias things in their own favor.

TYT should host Stein/Johnson debate as non of the other media outlets won't do it

It would be really great if you would bring Jill Stein and her running mate Ajamu Baraka on your show for a TYT Townhall with the Green Party.

@Calmdownpaco

+Mablak His premise is that the department of education can't do as well of a job as a state department could. This will be long, but let me copy what I wrote about the issue: People have understandable concerns about what would happen if we got rid of the department of education, but let's tackle those concerns. One of the first things concerns that people have is that without the DOE, schools would teach religion rather than science. Except that that is already happening in conservative fundamentalist places with the current system www.slate.com/articles/health_and_science/science/2014/01/creationism_in_texas_public_schools_undermining_the_charter_movement.html. And if the department of education was defunded, it still would not allow creationism to be taught in school, as the, "Supreme Court ruled in Edwards v. Aguillard that teaching creationism is unconstitutional," as well as, "In the 2005 Kitzmiller v. Dover case, Judge John Jones III ruled in federal district court that intelligent design is still creationism and equally unconstitutional." Even now, the Department of education does not, "Develop curricula, determine state education standards, or develop or implement testing to measure whether states are meeting their education standards www2.ed.gov/about/overview/focus/what_pg4.html#doesnot . Regardless of your opinion of it, the DOE is not what created common core standards. That was brought about by, "Private nonprofit groups and state education departments," www.politifact.com/wisconsin/statements/2014/jul/25/joe-leibham/federal-government-required-states-adopt-common-co/ . Effectively the roles of the DOE basically boil down to financial aid, data collection, identifying problems, and prohibiting discrimination www2.ed.gov/about/overview/focus/what_pg3.html#howdoes . The argument that Gary Johnson has is that these duties can be done more effectively on a state level. States would be able to do all of these duties with a better understanding of the schooling in their state and their independent issues. And if you were concerned about conservative states adhering to discriminatory practices in funding of schools, Johnson wants to implement a school voucher program similar to the one he created when he was Governor of New Mexico www.educationworld.com/a_news/how-libertarian-looks-education-where-gary-johnson-stands-226926093 . This allows families to choose to go to whichever school they wanted, public or private. It also helps poorer brings competition into K-12 education similar to that in Universities, where the schools have to compete to get students. To add on to that point, the voucher system also helps poor schools compete with wealthier ones, as, schools are funded by property taxes so People tend to think about poor students moving to better schools in wealthy areas. If you create a voucher program you equalize the revenue per students of schools - poor schools will have higher revenue to higher Better teachers and more programs. The other issue that Gary Johnson has with the Department of Education, is that federal funding for schools goes through the DOE, which takes it's share of money, and then goes to the schools. With the abolition of the DOE, schools will have more funding to be able to operate better. In the voucher article, he states, "Look, just leave the states alone. What people don’t realize is by leaving the states alone, the states will actually have more money." The basis is not to deregulate education, it is that the roles Department of Education should be left to the states, and that doing so would be cheaper, and more effective for their students.

xboxpro97 A rise in voucher availability correlates to a rise in religious school attendance; remember, 80-85% of private schools are religious. For example in 2012, Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal's voucher program made dozens of religious, creationist schools able to receive voucher students. No one is saying it's impossible for creationism to be taught under the current DOE, but far more students are going to be taught this nonsense if we rely on vouchers, as history has shown. Our tax money would be going to completely unaccountable private schools, which could fire teachers for having the wrong beliefs, marrying the wrong person, etc. Vouchers often hurt low-income families, as they often don't cover basic things like books, transportation, uniforms, etc. The states' rights argument is complete BS. The entire motivation for this argument is that if brought down to a state level, things like financial aid and discrimination prevention would be *undermined or removed* in many states where they face opposition. It's not about efficacy, it is entirely about getting around these crucial laws, and this is what virtually everyone who says 'states rights' actually wants. This has always been the case when it comes to abortion, education, racial/LGBT discrimination, and countless other issues. "This allows families to choose to go to whichever school they wanted, public or private." Awesome, so black communities will have their choice of 5 different schools in their area that are all severely underfunded! Now that's freedom. See, actual equity would mean every student having the opportunity to attend a good school in their area. And you could *speculate* that competition would make these schools better, but in practice we've seen competition drive down the salaries of private teachers (all to maximize profit for the school), which generally attracts lower quality teachers.

Why would anyone but a new car when they have to pay a gigantic tax on top of the already outrageous prices that people charge for new cars? Why would anyone buy a new TV from the store when they can buy one secondhand from their meghbor. A lot of people get pissed about 7% sales tax. Could you imagine what would happen with a much higher tax? Would that tax include mandatory price labeling that shows the price plus tax? They don't right now, so you have to try to calculate what the tax is on your groceries.

EPA requirements on electricity for 2030 Obama announced earlier this year are behind market trajectory. If the feds sit on their hands the next 14 years, US emissions from electricity and transportation will plummet as the population continues growing. Economies of scale. It's a vital business principle you'll read and hear about a lot in coming years.

As a former libertarian, I understand why the ideas are so appealing. At the source, I think it comes down to a deep, existential connection with our modern economic system and the desire to mesh that with the high ideals of classical liberalism--the latter of which I still connect with. What's interesting, though, is that even the classic liberals eventually understood that the idea of a free market had deep flaws, rooted in the malignant social effects it would ultimately engender. John Stuart Mill, in his later works, and even in addendums to old works, began embracing ideas that reflected the same concerns socialists, communists, anarchists, and futurists--very broad in meaning here--have. Take a quote from 'Principles of Political Economy with some of their Applications to Social Philosophy': “Hitherto there has been no alternative for those who lived by their labour, but that of labouring either each for himself alone, or for a master. But the civilizing and improving influences of association, and the efficiency and economy of production on a large scale, may be obtained without dividing the producers into two parties with hostile interests and feelings, the many who do the work being mere servants under the command of the one who supplies the funds, and having no interest of their own in the enterprise except to earn their wages with as little labour as possible. The speculations and discussions of the last fifty years, and the events of the last thirty, are abundantly conclusive on this point. If the improvement which even triumphant military despotism has only retarded, not stopped, shall continue its course, there can be little doubt that the status of hired labourers will gradually tend to confine itself to the description of workpeople whose low moral qualities render them unfit for anything more independent: and that the relation of masters and work-people will be gradually superseded by partnership, in one of two forms: in some cases, association of the labourers with the capitalist; in others, and perhaps finally in all, association of labourers among themselves.” Note the final clause: "in others, and perhaps finally in all, association of labourers among themselves." In other words, Mill eventually came to believe that things like worker cooperatives were the ideal arrangements for laborers (imagine all of the finger-wagging industrialists). These statements by a libertarian hero go largely ignored or unknown to libertarians. Free Markets end up entrenching a Rand-like sense of individualism in the psyche, even though libertarians try to tie in things like benign voluntarism. It sounds nice, but it just doesn't work; and there are failed libertarian experiments from around the world that show that (e.g. Chile and New Zealand). It's unstable. It's unsustainable. It perpetuates class tensions. As for campaign finance, I'd argue that Gary Johnson had more name recognition than Bernie Sanders. And the fact of the matter is transparency won't stop corporations and groups from sending in waves of lobbyists to monopolize time with elected officials, which is even more of a concern. There are other issues, as well. And finally, if Johnson really thinks we'll be a currency haven, he may want to sit and have a conversation with Bill Bonner and other high-profile market skeptics who are aware of the fragile global economy. Johnson isn't the answer, either, folks.

Nailed it. Truth is: co-operatives are a remarkably correct equilibrium, but the "haves" will resist any societal/zeitgeist shift towards aggregate re-evaluation by the masses of the priorities of the masses towards a working with each other instead of always trying to win out over each other and (casino-like) to become one of the elites (the arguably ever-shrinking-door to the American Dream). Thanks for the quotation. I didn't actually realize that Mill had shifted in his thinking that far. The powers that be will resist it. But I think the upcoming generation is more altruistic and willing individually to give up personal plutocratic chances for general social security guarantees, which, in turn, provide a great deal of societal stability.

It's all relative. Libertarianism is flawed because it relies on the individual to take responsibility for their freedoms. At the same time, it gives you all the fruits of your labour because you have. There is no rigging except for your own personal volition. Whereas in coercive systems it may not matter what you do, the result is being fixed. People have to stop believing there is a Utopia.

Cenk, to me this is what American politics should be (and also why the Republican party needs to end), while you and Gary may disagree on certain levels, this interview was respectful, and void of the uneducated banter that the Republicans constantly push. While Cenk and Gary may have major disagreements, both sides ACTUALLY can have a discussion, which leads to progression!

Any update on this? Is he still against TPP?

Everyone focuses on the funding side rather than the cost side: Why does it cost so much? Why the need for so much money? It is expensive to get air time and become known. But this is absurd because the airwaves are public. These networks are at the behest of the FCC / government. We shouldn't allow them to charge tremendous sums for political air time, thus requiring candidates to sell favors at our expense for air time that we already own. I think this is what Gary is trying to point out: If you simply take away the ability to get the funding, how is an unknown suppose to get air time in the current system? If he can't, then doesn't that benefit those that already have a name?

I genuinely like this guy. Gary Johnson and Bill Weld really come off as a dynamic duo that care for people and their freedoms. I disagree with their philosophy on government spending but I feel that they're open to using it for social programs that help the people. I appreciate that they're a happy balance between both sides of the political spectrum. This is from a Bernie supporter.
