I get the concept behind Libertarian rule, but to rely on the people and market is not a good thing either, we/they are too easily influenced and impulsive. Take a look at Facebook and see what i mean, people supporting victims of the Orlando shooting, other people praising the shooter etc. Its usually the overly extrovert people that take up most of the space and time, pushing and shoving people around. I think that there are too many idiots around to rely on their cooperation, its doing horrible things to any political system all over the world. They do need to be kept in check in some way, but i think a Libertarian led country would eventually divide States more into separate countries, because if a government does not have enough power to stop the people, it might as well become Mad Max, volunteered segregation like the Brexit would be common practice. States like Texas would be one of the first to Secede most likely. Independence is fun and all, but there needs to be a balance, because a market can shift like ebb and flow, moving jobs and wealth along with its currents. If there is no proper plan to patch up the divides and rapid changes, we will end up right where we are right now soon enough. So i would rather see some form of Libertarian, as in more power to people, effectively making it more social leaning, but also with an equal government, or simply put, Let's try to get along, agree to disagree without bashing your head in, but mostly to prevent a disconnect. We are on this planet together, the age of tribalism and isolation is no longer sustainable, because we know too much about everyone already, eyes everywhere. The people and governments are failing Globalization, Earth itself could do fine without us, but its capacity is limited and i really dont feel like Soylent Green. Start scouting for new planets already, because if we dont get off our greedy habits, or as a desperate measure to somehow decimate the world's population.. conflicts like they are happening right now will only occur more often. Were like a flock of locusts, but we have no other place to escape to, no haven, its all the same bullshit everywhere. I really think we need to start looking at colonization more seriously.

How many people know what fuels the plant that makes their electricity use? How many people directly buy coal? Consumer of coal for the most part are electric producing facilities, not the user of electricity. Market for feed stock in electricity sector (coal, natural gas, geo, solar, nuclear)is only minimally controlled by consumer of electricity. Owners/operators of electrical power plants have to have incentive or penalties imposed to force change. I don't think much would happen if every electric power consumer called their power company and demanded that they used alternative fuel if they are sitting next to coal field or easy access to one. Corporations owe as much to share holders as they do to consumers. They are not going to go through expense of conversion if not forced.

I don't think that Gary Johnson's response to the climate change question was very good, and I will actually be voting for him this year. However, overall, it is a fair point. Government policy changes come as a consequence of people changing. So of course, if there is a push for government policies to stop climate change, it will coincide with the market being more environmentally friendly. Government's role would be to penalize polluters. How much? That is subjective and requires people to be reasonable. Unfortunately, I believe that Bill is a bit of an alarmist. He obsesses over this issue despite the fact that each decade the IPCC has had to make its forecast more conservative. His alarmism and push for rapid change will impact a lot of people negatively. Let the change be urgent but not abrupt; that is the best way to deal with this. We are already seeing technology become so much more energy efficient. By the way, the question posited by the man on the left of the panel can be answered with several examples. The mistake is in failing to realize that the Industrial Revolution presented solutions to problems that existed at the time. Of course, the same system that brought about problem solving in the Industrial Revolution can foster problem solving in today's world.

chasemebaby It depends what you consider a wasted vote. For example, if the libertarians get 5% of the popular vote, they qualify for federal funding in the next election. It also forces the Republican party to change significantly. And really, getting on to the debate stage gives Johnson a real chance to win. The difference between 2012 and now is that Trump and Hillary have all time low favorability. In 2012, Republicans were not going to leave Romney and let Obama win. Democrats were not going to leave Obama to let Romney win. Trump and Hillary are that bad and unlikeable. People have the same attitude as me, which is that they were not going to vote for Trump or Hillary anyways, so they might as well vote for someone else.

I think the people saying Hillary is honest are dishonest!

And what's Mel Gibson going to call the sequel? PASSION II: THE RESURRECTION. Do I have to write the jokes here or what?

Most of the panel was confusing crony capitalism with free market capitalism. Gary Johnson should have pointed that out.

When is Jill Stein gonna be on this show?

***** If she supported 0% corporate tax like Johnson, I have a feeling she would already be on 50 ballots. Good for us though, she actually has some ideas that will help the middle and lower classes.

Are you an economist? What is your background? My economics background may be limited to macro and micro, but from what I have read, many economists say there is not enough data to take a firm stance on any hypothesis. However, if I'm wrong on this matter, could you point me into the direction of some solid data. Offshoring and automation is happening whether we raise the minimum wage or not. My vote is to give American citizens a livable wage. I agree with you that all candidates should be on the debate stage. The American people need every voice up there that we can get and holding any persons out is a grave disservice to the American public.

I get what you are saying, and I have seen it argued both ways. Like I said, the best information I could find on the subject, something like 40% of the economists were undecided on the outcome. The rest were split on both sides. My next question to you would be, do you even support a minimum wage?

The problem with the Green Party in this country, in my view is that they don't run enough of a grass roots system to get Greens into municipal and state offices. In Europe they seem to have a better grasp on building from the ground up, rather than only showing their faces every four years for the general election. Now, I could be wrong about this in general terms, but in all of the local and state elections I have voted in (and I have not missed one since 1975 when I turned 18), I have rarely seen a Green candidate.

I agree with Bill in that I think Climate Change is one of the Libertarians weak points.

I love Bill

I remember it was so good to see the "Mensch" leave British politics.

"Market will fix it"... At least its a step up from "God will fix it"

That's the thing about libertarians they're good or partially good on like 25 to 30% of issues, but are completely batshit insane on everything else. They have a fantasy filled ideology, that's an opposite extreme of communism, in that similarly to communism, Libertarianism in theory is a lot different than in practice. it's extremely unsustainable to humanity.

What is the point of asking someone on your show and then talking over them.

Please keep Louise Mensch in the States, forever... thanks, yours UK x

Democratic platform = Pro-fracking, pro-pipeline, pro TPP so pro slavery, anti-environment, anti-legalization ( decriminalization is a joke), pro-wallstreet, this sounds like the Republican Party platform to me. With a platform like that I will be voting for Jill Stein thank you very much. #GoGreen

What's with Louise Mensch's sudden half-American accent? She has only lived in the United States for a couple of years and she's already dropped her crisp middle-class English accent. Pathetic, disloyal chameleon, with her slimy, flip-flop attempt to sell herself to a new audience - no wonder most people despise politicians.

Socialism and centralized control is the greatest force for good in human history. Adding more regulations to the market, and having government take more control over certain industries has never truly failed.

@kantonio1000

Yes, they almost have always failed. In fact, the greatest example of this failure is the European Union right now. It's, quite literally, crumbling and much of that has to do with the vast economic restrictions imposed in the countries that comprise the Union. You're right that regulations can be good, but only when applied to industries where natural monopolization is present. Most industries aren't like that. Often times, its capitalism and mass economic freedom that serves to be the greatest force of good in human history.

no one's voting for Stein. Sorry. She stands zero chance.

Blimey, Louise Mensch has certainly picked up the accent since moving to the US - and you're welcome to her!

I wish Ari Melber spoke more he has so much to offer!

Wow finally an interesting panel with a diverse plethora of perspectives.

Could somebody sample the hilarious female laughing out constantly in Bill Maher's monologue? Fabulous! She almost shook Maher out of his concentration (because he enjoyed her).

I'm an independent and was probably going to vote for Gary Johnson but after watching this I'll have to (again) write in Ron Paul.

Louise Mensch does not speak for the UK.

That fake laugh drove me crazy. Don't they have a security officer to escort that person away from a mic...UGH!

i wouldn't trust gary johnson to troubleshoot a burned out light bulb.

I love your show keep it up

This show was a good one. Good work, Bill!

Solving Climate Change requires Innovation. Innovation is driven more forcefully and successfully by the free market, in the form of consumer pressure and, most of all, the profit motive, than by any other mechanism. I'm not anti-government. I'm not against regulations. But regulation alone can't fix the problem. Johnson is correct. Melber is being disingenuous.

@Newvials

But this is based of the assumption consumers good will is to purchase the better for the environment supplies (which is not always the case), most of the time consumer purchase is driven by efficiency and affordability. While the big business motive is usually 110% profit motive, hence whatever sells more and cheaper is always going to work for them. I just don't think absolute free market is going to cater to the good will of all people, there will be greed and there will be ignorance. Now innovations do indeed occur eventually with competition deciding when, but when these innovations have to deal with our ozone layer I think it should be safer regulating more now instead of waiting for the free market to decide when/how to innovate.

+Big Boss socialism is not state capitalism we in America have the completely wrong definition of socialism it means society specifically workers controlling the means of production what you are saying is that your against state capitalism when the state undertakes the means of production and distribution within a economy.But than again the state is often times a better and more ethical capitalist than private firms. one example would be the economic mobilization during the new deal when private corporations couldn't or even is some instances refused to provide employment, a good example would how the TVA provided electricity at a lower cost and just has good service. or even today with Medicare having a lower overhead cost than the private healthcare companies. The uncritical hero worship of capitalism is in my opinion folly.

The problem is that providing solutions to climate change won't make significant money so companies aren't willing to spend the necessary billions in investment to see a profit in thirty years. Government can go beyond a profit margin, focus on long term, leverage money more easily etc. Even now much of renewable energy and climate change solutions are only possible because of government grants/loans etc otherwise the market would still not done much.

Bill, Please do an All Climate Change Show, with a panel of engaging entertaining scientists, humanists. Please thank you very much!

I am glad she's all in for free-trade since UK just lost it! Enjoy the tariffs and trade negotiations (which you didn't do in 43 years)!

What problem has the market solved that it created? What a stupid question...Has the free market not created 99% of houses? are you claiming alarms are not solving a problem of theft?

Black Lady just kept talking right over Bill Maher lol.

"Was a problem ever solved by its cause?" thats some bullshit. Its like saying "environmental exploitation is caused by capitalism, capitalistic interests arent conform with saving the environment" when in fact protection of the environment is a profitable interest.

I would like to see Dennis Miller get his own tv show again

Louise Mensch was a fantastic guest. I hope she will be invited back next season.

Monday morning quarterback answer to the question to Johnson "The free market responds to demands. Nobody was concerned about environmental impacts during the industrial revolution."

I wanted to hear more about Glass Stegall

Erm... What the hell is that accent, Louise?

Nice!!!

Gary Johnson didn't describe it very well but the Libertarian solution to global warming actually makes a lot of sense. Get the government out of oil and you'll see it used a lot less. Government owned land isn't maintained very well but if it was sold to farmers they would take care of it. A small government will fix and undo many problems.

Johnson handled the "climate change" question quite poorly, especially the follow up question from the guy on the left.

Oh Gary Johnson.

I really hope Gary makes the debates

Bill Maher for president

Right on Ari

Just out of curiosity ,did Mahers' show,this time,have an actual audience,or just that one woman ,whose laughter dominated the entire show. hahahahahahahahaha,literally dominated the entire show,she sure enjoys politics.

5:31 Louise Mensch: "Probably because Boris was insufficiently committed to actually taking us out of Brexit." Is she kidding? Boris did a fucking tour campaigning for Brexit.

Jim Gaffigan's awesome! Adore him!
