Well, what about Chase Oliver?
He’s the Libertarian presidential candidate with some pretty interesting ideas.
Thoughts you won’t hear from either major-party candidate.
----
To get our new weekly video from Stossel TV, sign up here: www.johnstosse...
----
Oliver believes in “the most local governance, which is self-governance.”
He wants government to stay out of our lives.
He plans to privatize welfare, end social security, cut federal spending, and much more!
In our full interview, he tells me his vision for America.
John Stossel is a American hero and legend. Where would this country be at without independent journalists like john ?
I hope John is not supporting this POS.
I remember watching Stossel in the 2000s on ABC’s 20/20.
He was reporting back then that there really wasn’t recycling happening, even though everyone was pretending like it was happening.
It was reported more widely last year that we actually only recycle 5% of our recyclables.
All that plastic ending up in landfills or the ocean. Sad.
@luha.2821 I still bring up that same video and people are normally shocked. It changed how I recycle a little bit.
Probably with people like chase Oliver
He's mainstream. He's part of the deep state. 😂😂😂
This is really the only candidate I've heard so far that actually answers questions
Its because he isn't worried about them hurting his chances of getting elected. He knows he can't get elected. ;)
End government welfare to both rich and poor.
What many don't realize is WHY open borders are such a bad idea RIGHT NOW. It is because of New Deal policies. No country can afford to allow open borders AND have New Deal policies. Yes, we have to have a system of identity checks for those who want to immigrate--this is why Oliver says "an Ellis Island system."
The biggest welfare recipients are government employees
Trump actually supports this. Trump is libertarian in a ton of ways, and his economy was great. He said some “mean things” but he’s my go-to choice
@@LindaHagge-s8s it is a BAD idea because any country has the RIGHT to determine WHO can legally enter their country
@@charlesg7926 chase isn't bad i just don't agree on some point's/policy's and rfk jr, is a better candidate this time a round trumpets being 3d-placement for now and ok-hell being-last place as definitely not for me advocating
"Shouldn't the rich pay more?"
Given a ten percent tax :
- a person with $100 pays $10
- a person with $10,000 pays $1000
$1000 is MORE than $10.
Given a ten percent tax :
- a poor person buys a $10 loaf of bread and pays $1.
- a rich person buys a $20 loaf of bread and pays $2.
$2 is MORE than $1.
This discussion cannot be had until the tax freaks demonstrate that they know the smallest thing about math.
And lower spending.
I dont understand the hate! This guy sticks to real libertarian freedom principles!
All the hate that I am seeing is coming from trumpists who are trying to suade Libertarian votes to support their cult leader.
Doesn't like Ron Paul and celebrated Trumps eviction from Twitter. That's literally all you need to know about this man.
@@scottm8579 no he isn’t a simp for trump at all, he congratulated him when he did something good and then called him out when he did something horrible.
That post was after Ron Paul endorsed Lew Rockwell, who published racist articles. He actually has nice things to say on Ron Paul overall.
And that was before the twitter files, Chase would never support the government taking someone off. he wants those powers abolished.
Sadly it's better to cancel someone over 5 year old tweets than to look at them as they are.
@@truckbros35 Exactly. Scott would know that if he watched the Ron Paul Liberty Report on the daily.

As an immigrant, I was in till he said he was for open borders. That's a terrible idea.
To be fair, I don't think he means wide open, come and go as you please.
He referred to Ellis Island where people were required to show documentation of their identity, prove they have the ability to support themselves through work, family or cash money and then get a medical screening. Even then, they were not full citizens. They still had to go through the naturalization process to become a citizen.
It was a more streamlined process back then. It didn't take ten years and tens of thousands in legal fees to become a citizen. There were no lotteries, work visa programs or any of that other crap. If you were not a criminal, were healthy and had work here, you could come in and either apply to stay or go back home when the work was done.
We also had zero social safety nets back then. If you came here and the job you had lined up fell through, you either took any work you could get, depended on the help of strangers or you starved.
Ellis Island style immigration is not open borders. It is compared to what Trump and Harris would offer, sure. But it's not completely open borders.
@@OldSaltyBearmore streamlined because we shut many people out due to race
Libertarians as a whole want an open border. Of course it sounds nuts at first. But its not a policy of putting peoples lives in danger and pulling the police back from a high crime area. What hes referring to is that the Republicans have been running on closing the border for 30 years, Democrats have been running on don't be racist, and neither side has ended the border problem. What the libertarian party wants to do is open up the weed market so that cartels cant use violence to trafik weed, and then the other drugs need to be ended at the source. In the 80's people were able to cross the border with canada without a passport because the ppl in canada liked it and wanted to live there. and the ppl in america wanted to live in america, so there were no problems. What the libertarians want is to find ways to stop the insanity around the border.... definitely stop the human and drug trafickking and develop a better relationship with mexico and mexicans. George W Bush ran on fixing the border and he won in the year 2000, did George bush end the border problem? No. This is what libertarians are talking about when they say open border. NOT OPEN THE BORDERS AND LET EVERYONE COME IN
Open Borders works if you have a truly free society. We don't have that so it doesn't work.
I'm a gay man and I also have attended drag queen story hour. And they haven't been reading innocent stories. They read new books designed to propagate and promote gender ideology. Chase is simply misinformed on this issue. I believe his mind can be opened to the topic.
It's all a ploy to normalize deviant behavior. He's not "misinformed", he's just the same as those who are outright pushing it.
He knows what he's doing.
I say that to mean he wants everyone's kids.
Good to see something more nuanced, sadly most people would rather just use a conservative buzzword and be done with it.
@VariantAEC not true. He wants ideas to compete in the free market and for the government to get out of the way.
Now... the main culprit to woke gender bending ideology in schools IS the government, which permits activist teachers to groom kids, and sicks the F.B.I. on parents who attend school board meetings to fight the ideology.
If government gets out of the way, the reality is MOST parents are against gender nonsense and woke ideology.
Some issues should be solved in the society at the community level. Woke ideology depends on government enforcement to succeed. Chase proposes policy that single handedly takes care of all that crap.
That definitely goes against the “as long as you’re not harming anyone” idea then
I don't agree with Chase Oliver on many things, but will admit, there needs to be more ideas brought to the forefront of politics that both Dem and Rep fail to speak about or follow up on.
I agree with Chase more than I agree with Biden or Trump. And if you agree with Trump that he wants to drain the swamp.... what are the odds that he actually does what he says he will do?
The two parties are the same essentially. Both hate the Constitution, just depends on which parts.
Very good interview. I agree with 90% of Oliver’s views. Since Connecticut is clearly going to go with any Democrat, I might as well make a statement with my vote.
You are voting for the person you want. When you vote Democrat or Republican, you need to ask yourself, what has either party fixed over the last 20 years? Not one damn thing. The afghanistan was was a just war. it wasn't voted in the AUMF, but it was a just war. They were organized, they trained, they had a lawless system that allowed terrorists to run large portions of the country with militias. The USA didn't want to win afghanistan. So we acted like we couldnt' do anything about it even though we have enough technology in low earth orbit to track every single terrorist on the planet. The two party system also pushed the USA into bankrutpcy. The USA will spend 3 trillion on interest payments this year on old programs, and 1 trillion on military.
@@davidanalyst671 it’s the lesser of two evils. I’ve voted for independent presidential candidates before. The problem is it’s basically throwing your vote away as the two party system has a firm grasp on politics. However from time to time a window opens and you can vote for the better candidate even when there is no chance of winning.
There should be a debate held where every party has a candidate on the stage. This should be a practice in EVERY debate. It's not right that only two parties are allowed to participate in the debates. I haven't heard anything substantial from either of the two nominees of the major parties. If we have two or three dozen parties to choose from, so be it. I'm voting for this guy. People say a third party can't get a foothold, much less win, a major presidential election or occupy a significant number of seats in the House of Representatives but that's not the truth. You have to be willing to follow through and vote for the best candidate instead of falling prey to the logical fallacy that says your vote doesn't count or takes votes away from the two party candidates. If we can all listen and understand the ideology of each party and their ideas of how we should move forward and we cast our votes for those we agree there's no reason a third party candidate can't win.
@@michellehenry6773 I have voted Republican in all Congressional, Senatorial, and Presidential races since Gerald Ford was President except twice. Once when Joe Lieberman ran as an Independent for the Senate and for Gary Johnson when he ran against Mitt Romney and Obama more so as I was sending my protest vote knowing Connecticut would go with Obama anyways.
I don’t think it is that guaranteed in conn tbh. I spend some time up there. Just from what I have observed.
This is not a Libertarian, he is a libertine. There is a stark difference and from the comments people are picking up on this.
What's the difference
Democratic (2003-2009)
@@pctrashtalk2069why does that matter
Liberty for me, but not for thee.
“The difference between libertarianism and libertinism can be summed up as the difference between rights and desires. A libertarian is concerned with her own liberty but also knows that this liberty ends where yours begins. The entire philosophy of libertarianism depends on a healthy recognition of human dignity. A healthy libertarian can still be individualistic, but she's also deeply concerned with personal virtue and the rights of others.”
“A libertine, by contrast, is dominated by his desires. The object of his life is to do what he wants, and the object of politics is to give him what he wants. A libertarian is concerned with all forms of state coercion. A libertine rejects any attempt to coerce him personally, but he’s happy to coerce others if it gives him what he wants . . . He rejects restraints on his appetites and accountability for his actions. The guiding principle of his worldview is summed up in the declaration: I do what I want . . . It mocks personal restraint. And it’s happy to inflict its will on other if it achieves what it wants. Libertinism says my rights are more important than your rights, and this means that libertines are terrible ambassadors for any cause that requires self-sacrifice.”
I'll be proudly voting for Chase Oliver this year.
It's a shame how the libertarian party went from nominating people like Ron Paul and Harry Browne to this.
He shouldn't have been
The dude basically edged a win by making a deal with another candidate. It wasn't cheating per se, but close
Yea imagine the libertarian party going full on woke by electing this guy
A effing men
2nd law of conquest strikes again
He’s the face of DEI wokeness😂
I appreciate Stossel giving this guy time to speak, and Stossel is great. Chase Oliver however is just as bad of a clown as the absolute worst of the left in my opinion. Open borders? And who will pay for that? One need only look at the UK and how the forced immigration for all the years they were part of the EU has overwhelmed their hospitals and social services. Borders should be open to people who will increase the prosperity, safety, and freedom of the country they are trying to enter, not detract from it.
People will still be screened for criminal records under Chase's system. While allowing these people to add to the economy, you can't centrally plan immigration. Central planning always fails.
also Stossel likes Chase, his video would not be so positive otherwise.
Perfectly agreeable statement.
Technically, he isn't for fully open borders. He wants Ellis Island style borders. Everyone has to be checked on their way in. No fence hopping.
Obviously, that's an idealized take, that would be difficult (very expensive) to execute on the southern border.

Why wouldn’t he? It’s his parties candidate.
I don’t think this guy realizes that any country with open borders will destroy its economy. There is no issue with immigration my parents are immigrants but there are limits . Even if the US gets rid of all welfare programs millions of people would still come here because the living standards in America are higher than many countries . It would overwhelm the country and drive down the wages of working class citizens. Many people would come in and work for less . Additionally the higher population would increase electors for many states like California and New York . His own open borders policy would make sure libertarians never win another election ironically .
I agree with the closed border policy, I'm a Hoppean Libertarian after all. Ideologically speaking, no state borders should ever exist. Yet, we have the state and are forced to deal with the issues it brings us. Your criticisms of open border are the same as I view it as well. However, there are some things I do disagree with. The amount you are paid has nothing to do with how wealthy you are. Sure, maybe in the short term you're more wealthy if you have more money, but that doesn't actually make you wealthy in the long run.
We, in fact, are in a shortage of workers where physical labor is required. I think this mostly is attributed to the strict zoning laws, forcing demand to go lower, and the public schools constantly pushing college as the promise of a wealthy future. This forcing of lacking demand to build more housing has risen current housing prices through the roof. The public schools have indoctrinated kids to pursue what isn't actually in high demand, let alone get them ready for the real world. Now we're left with a shortage of housing and a shortage of workers.
If you pull back the strict zoning laws, there isn't really any workers with the skills to supply this increased demand for new housing. Sure, automation can help, and I encourage it, but we can't rely on automation to fix all of our problems. Let alone is it actually a popular take to automate because "they'll take muh jobs". This despite the fact new technology has only ever created new jobs. Overall, we need people in the USA to do the physical labor and plenty of immigrants are willing to do jobs most aren't.
With that said, I don't agree with open borders because we need at least some level of protection and maintain, hopefully gain, liberties. However, more supply of workers driving down pay won't actually make you poorer because it's about the quality of said currency that makes you wealthy. In order to become more wealthy, we must have more workplaces, thus competition in the economy to drive consumer prices down. The only way you achieve this: you must deregulate the market.
Any benefits derived from open borders will only be short term and such a policy is contingent upon labor demand. There's lots of native-born Americans willing to work but they're disincentivized due to illegals or even legal immigrants who can under cut labor demand.
Exactly! As a Republican, it’s frustrating that these people don’t understand that open borders will (and is) turn America into a socialist country. A lot of right-wingers talk about Venezuela and Cuba, but those people are refugees fleeing from dictatorial governments, not immigrants who want a “better life”. In the 90s, you had a Peso crisis in Mexico, and that led to tens of millions of people jumping the border. Did those people realize that their socialist government is trash? No, the vast majority still vote for Democrats (but we are making gains with that). This is because they, along with most immigrants are economic migrants, and since a lot of them came illegally, you have to put more resources (government spending) into assimilating them to our culture and values that Libertarians are DEFINITELY in agreement with.
In conclusion, we have to shut our border and stop the open borders policy that America and the other western nations have been doing for the past few decades. It is destroying this country and western civilization as a whole.
Lower wages means lower prices. And why would the immigrants disproportionately go to California and New York?
I don't see the problem with immigrants coming to the U.S.A. to fill something in the job market. Even if they're being paid less.
I've been sick of the two party system for years. I did not vote one Obama was running for the first and second time I knew he would win and I was a Democrat, but he promised change. We got no change and I believe in Chase Oliver.
I'm a longtime Libertarian and agree with many things he said, but I'm surprised that even my party that strongly believes in personal responsibility would be infected by globalism with an open border. The most important thing we need as well as a low inflation rate below 2% (recommended by the federal reserve) is to reinforce a permanent nearly 2,000 mile border wall. We need to bring back screening foreigners for diseases, criminal backgrounds and have requirements like speaking English and knowing American history like they did at Ellis island from 1892-1954.
I have a hard time believing libertarians seem to have a near impossible time understanding the over simplified border issue and responses to it or explaining their idea in a way that doesn't make people whine. It makes me think they aren't worth engaging. Same as everybody else.
Immigration quotas increase illegal immigration.

A college education used to be a way to get ahead. You'd have a college degree, compared to the average Joe who didn't have one. But if everyone else also has a college degree, then it no longer is a pathway to "get ahead". You'll be just like everyone else, and with a large debt to go with it. It's almost like a college education is now a way to fall behind. Interestingly, the best way to now "get ahead" is to forgo the degree and go into the trades. Imagine that.
cool man 👍
Too bad this candidate did neither.
It used to be you had to be exceptional to: 1) get into college; 2) get a college degree. Basically, the everyone gets a ribbon philosophy has been applied to education.
Additionally, many degrees are largely worthless. But, for some reason, none of those getting the degrees could be bothered to do due diligence as to what jobs a degree could be applied, how much those jobs paid, and the industry outlook for those jobs. Upon finding out that there is no market for their degree, they want to blame others for their poor decisions and/or expect others to pay for them.
Supply and demand. Economics 101.
And now you've let the liberals take over the education since you tell everybody you know to get into a trade

When they have a legal mode of entry, they'll take that one (the path of least resistance). Then, it'll be much easier to police the border (largely with technology rather than an ineffective wall) since the only people not going thru ports-of-entry will be those who wish to engage in nefarious activity.
@@kwakeham9167And when they are denied entry due to failing background check, we are back where we started (not going through port of entry).
Basically the choice is "do I spend months or years to try to go through process and potentially get denied, or do I just cross the unsecured border?"
Having an unsecured border makes that above decision very much a no brainer when the chances of being caught are slim, and if the penalty of being caught is sent back to my home country to try again, so be it...
Libertarian mindset tends to be "a person will do what is in their best interest", and there is no way to have an unsecured border while still having thorough background checks at a port of entry. If the background checks are too lax, criminals fake paperwork and nullify the process. If they are ACTUALLY thorough, people just bypass the process to skip line because of ease and lack of consequences. Catch and release does no good, and imprisoning all caught is also a huge burden on taxpayer.
As others mentioned, the immigration system needs to be more streamlined so people have no reason to come in illegally, but for individuals that don't come in legally, since the vast majority are here economic reasons, an easy way to disincentivize that would be to fine employers that hire anyone who did not come in legally. Obviously, not fool-proof, but nothing will be.
Libertarians are basically misguided conservatives lol. Trump is the best choice by a mile. Trump is libertarian economically but he gets you need a strong border

All I care about at this time is tearing loose the establishment's grip. I am not looking for ideological purity. Currently Trump and the folks in his immediate orbit are anti-establishment folks. We will see if they can stay that way. But any modicum of progress against the establishment will go a long way.
Exactly and the best person to fight the establishment is Trump. I don't think I could get shot, then stand up, pump my fist in the air, and repeatedly shout fight! I don't agree with him on every issue, but we've never seen a candidate that can fight like him.
This is a child's view of the world. What exactly do you mean by anti-establishment? The founding principles of this nation - such as checks and balances, the peaceful transfer of power, etc - have been "established" and maintained for centuries. Is it a good thing that Trump is anti- those things?

I lean more libertarian conservative but “I’m not harming anyone” is a nebulous concept that sometimes is not as true as people would like to think
Today's culture is not a culture of peace. What you are talking about is the non aggression principle. If you leave everyone alone to live their own lives, and live how they like, then everyone is going about their lives living as best they can, rather than focusing on taking from other people. Todays society is more highly dependent on the memetic principle, do what Kim Kardashian does.
I disagree with some of his policy ideas, but I agree with at least 80% of them. That’s a heck of a lot more than I agree with politicians in either of the two older parties.
This "transing" of kids idea is CRAZY. No parent should be allowed to decide for a child's entire future whether the child changes gender. That is a PERSONAL, ADULT decision. A child will not appreciate the gravity of such a decision and its affect on life for decades, and who really knows whether the child is making that decision free of parental bias and influence?
we have age of consent laws for a reason. kids shouldnt be allowed to take chemical castration drugs for the same reason, they likely cant comprehend the consequences. i dont like this guy.
I agree with you, but you're missing the whole point. It's not our life to control. We don't have a say, unfortunately, but that's how it is and how it should be
Plus this topic, it's a pretty big one, so I'm sure it'll come with some stipulations and not just all free and nilly, you know.

He seems to be a bit too much on the naivety side.
A person can be a non-criminal by the laws of his native country, but the actions that he did there, could be unlawful in US. Countries have different laws.
There's also the issue with enforcing them. Many of the drug/cartels lords in countries with high crime, don't have any criminal records, therefore being eligible for "working" in the US.
Not to mention the difference in culture.
Private property =/= state property, private property is the result of self ownership and homesteading, state property is the result of war. War is not a legitimate way to own property.
Libertarians as a whole want an open border. Of course it sounds nuts at first. But its not a policy of putting peoples lives in danger and pulling the police back from a high crime area. What hes referring to is that the Republicans have been running on closing the border for 30 years, Democrats have been running on don't be racist, and neither side has ended the border problem. What the libertarian party wants to do is open up the weed market so that cartels cant use violence to trafik weed, and then the other drugs need to be ended at the source.

Larry Burkett's book on "Giving and Tithing" drew me closer to God and helped my spirituality. 2020 was a year I literally lived it. I cashed in my life savings and gave it all away. My total giving amounted to 40,000 dollars. Everyone thought I was delusional. Today, 1 receive 85,000 dollars every two months. I have a property in Calabasas, CA, and travel a lot. God has promoted me more than once and opened doors for me to live beyond my dreams. God kept to his promises to and for me
There's wonder working power in following Kingdom principles on giving and tithing. Hallelujah!
But then, how do you get all that in that period of time? What is it you do please, mind sharing?

Well done, Chase. I would offer a few better responses on some issues, but your overall message was great. And thanks for mentioning Ranked Choice Voting a couple of times! We need all the exposure we can get. Walk that talk by campaigning your butts off in Maine. It's small enough that you can literally talk to every voter.

Too many Libertarians fall better into other categories such as: anarchists and yes...oddly enough....socialist. That's why I feel the need to further quantify my ideology as Constitutional Libertarian.

We need our party to grow as large as the GOP and DEM, because if we had 3 equal (somewhat) parties, we wouldn't have impeachments being circus shows like the last two (four really), and it'd give a viable alternative during a debate. Remember in 1992 when we had 3 people in a debate? We need that again!
Best option on the ballot. So glad I can vote with a clean conscience.
This guys Ideas on geopolitics are bonkers. "Surgically strike Hamas", "Putin wouldn't be in Power if we had traded more with Russia ". Those takes are downright delusional.
No they aren't. Commerce impacts peoples every day lives while the politicals have to pay for news coverage. If Russians were making the worlds chips, or if Russia had google, or if Russia exported their giant dairy industry, then putin would have no political power to start a war which would hurt the dairy companies. Putin attacked Ukraine, and his polls went up to 70%. The people of russia are delusional.
Delusional indeed! Drag queens are fine for your children? Gender changing of minor children up to their parents and their doctors who profit from it?? If you ask me, he's demented in addition to delusional.
I don't care if Putin is in power. Seems he's popular within HIS OWN country.

Chase Oliver is the best candidate the party has ever nominated. I renewed my dues because of Chase. As did many others.
You're probably saying this 'cause he's gay, right?
If he's ok with parents making the medical decision to castrate their children is he also ok with them deciding to euthanize them? Both those medical decisions should be legal... FOR ADULTS... not children
Why should we legalize explicitly harmful acts? It's not like these people do this to themselves, someone has to hold the knife and I don't see why it should be legal for doctors to inflict harm on someone, and one could argue especially so if the patient is asking for the harm.
Thanks but NO THANKS!!!
Couldn't be any worse.

This guy is exactly why I call myself libertarianish. I was nodding all the way through until he said open borders, anyone come. For that reason alone I could never vote for this guy.
He is not for completely unregulated open borders, he supports an Ellis island type immigration policy.
Why? Open borders is the libertarian position. The state hasn’t homesteaded or voluntarily traded for the land, so it can’t justly “own” it. It merely possesses it. Therefore it doesn’t have the right to prevent people from walking across the imaginary lines called borders.
The libertarians don't want WIDE OPEN BORDERS. Libertarians as a whole want an open border. Of course it sounds nuts at first.

@@randominternetguy1499 wrong
@@mistermerchant7870thats just vague nonsense
I like this guy... except for his stance on abortion. If he truly believes that our bodies are our own, then babies should have rights to THEIR bodies, which have been scientifically proven beyond any doubt are NOT just "parts of the mom's body." The only difference between a baby in the womb and a baby outside the womb are:
1) Size
2) Level of development
3) Location
Ironically, no one argues that small people at a lower level of development should be killed if they are inconvenient or cause their parents to have to make sacrifices.... unless they just so happen to be in the womb. Out of sight, out of mind.
A society has to make a choice if the child is still in the womb on which of the two, the mother or the fetus, has the primary rights. Very few people would argue that the fetus has primary rights. Most societies in the history of the world have given the fetus rights at a certain stage in development. Most of them said birth, but a few said survivability. Ancient Israelites, for example, did not give a fetus rights until birth. They regarded the fetus as "alive" at quickening, or about 14 weeks gestation. In the book of Numbers, a priest performs a ritual abortion on a woman whose husband claims she was unfaithful. In the history of law, our current right wing attitude toward abortion would be considered extreme.
@@LindaHagge-s8s I will disagree. A pregnant woman is recognized as a fully actualized human being. She is the one who has primary rights. We will likely never agree on when a fetus becomes human as it involves religious as well as medical issues. A fetus does not have a right to become a parasite which is what it is if the woman is unwilling to use her body to support it.
Sorry I gort that wrong. Misread. Sorry. I'm actually agreeing I think.
You miss the point. The fetus is using the body of the woman without her consent, its not about the fetus being a part of the body, and giving birth is a actively dangerous procedure so it is self defense in a way
How exactly do we define an individual for this instance? I'm not saying I disagree with the end goal per say, but in my view your offspring are an ongoing part of you even after separation from our system of tubes. I personally wouldn't approve it anymore than I would approve of someone chopping off their arm. That is to say only under the most extreme of circumstances. Allowing a doctor to perform these type of procedures at will I'm pretty heavily against.
I am so disappointed that THIS is the best the Libertarians put forward every year.
And here I thought the whole Garry Johnson thing was a huge joke. Boy was I wrong.
Then you're imagining libertarianism to be something it's not.

Ellis Island is used as the historical example to illustrate "open borders", obviously you can't "literally" make all immigrants go through Ellis Island again. Are you dumb, or acting dumb?
If you compare the number of people coming in to Ellis Island to the native population well into the Guilded Age to the number of people coming from the southern border now-- Ellis Island was a larger per capita number of immigrants. Most of the burden of immigration today is due to the fact that today's immigrants are not legally allowed to work. You fix that while setting legitimate ports of entry, most immigration concerns take care of themselves.
@@hugesinker still a bunch of males and no females, mass deportations needed to balance it out
I had no idea! Chase is brilliant!
Thanks John Stossel. I was hoping for an alternative to the extremes of the left and right, but now I'm not sure that Chase Oliver is a better choice.
The border is a key to our national defense. It doesn't matter how strong our military is if enemies can just walk in through an open border.
I do agree with some of his points like the fact that the War On Drugs is as futile as the Prohibition of Alcohol was a century ago.
I'm not happy that he was involved in the "mostly peaceful" protests in 2020 but I do believe that because of the War on Terrorism and The War on Drugs, law enforcement sees ALL citizens as a threat. That has to stop.
Agreed. Every point you make. I consider myself a "Conservative-Libertarian", in that I support 100% individual liberty with personal responsibility and getting the government out of our daily lives, I also believe in the free market. However, I am also a 100% unwavering believer in a strong national defence, for which a secure border is a given and promoting peace through strength, and I believe in the traditional values of family and parental consent. My values align more with Trump than Chase Oliver. If I was American, I would vote for Trump.

Do you believe state subsidization makes an enterprise more efficient? If so, you should support state capitalism (ie Soviet communism). Or do you believe that state subsidization is capable of increasing the production of a good only through the force of taxation and inefficient production? If it's the latter, than countries engaging in the heavy subsidizing of their exports are actively engaged in self-harm in order to supply consumer nations with inexpensive goods.

Why?
If RFK Jr. was on the Libertarian ticket in CO, I'd join their party, so I hope the national party HQ will allow him.
I am a paleo libertarian (early 70's) and Chase represents my views in the 21st century. He must be considered dangerous by both parties. Stossel is a known libertarian and this long interview is perhaps a target of people hired to comment negatively. The commenters here present themselves as libertarians, then make a brief remark targeting a single issue that for them is a deal breakers and will somehow change their vote. This would not happen with real libertarian thinkers. The Democrans and Republicrats make libertarian promises to get elected. Look for Trump and Kamala to borrow the Ellis island style (vetted immigration) idea and not credit Chase. I would take some of these comments with a grain of salt. Congrats to Stossel with his no BS questions, and Chase with his no BS answers.
Assuming all the negative feedback is paid opposition instead of actual dislike is a bit conspiracy theorist. Trust me, he's not big enough for anyone to worry about, and his ideas are deeply unpopular with the majority of Americans. The problem with any Libertarian candidate is that they automatically lose 50% of the vote to hard line D and R only voters. It's hard to make headway when you hold ideas that deeply offend both major parties at the same time.
@@Puzzlesocks Hmmmm... So I'm a "conspiracy theorist"? Chase's opinions are "deeply unpopular", and "deeply offend" Americans? You did a careful read and crafted a targeted response to me, Chase and libertarian candidates; all very labor intensive for a hard line R and D to bother with. Thank you for supporting my assertion! If you , as a representative of an R or D party, read the Bill of Rights- you will probably find some of it offensive. Not so libertarians. I carry a copy of the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution in my purse.
@@kathymyers340 I'm not even saying I disagree, but his abortion and border stance scares off republicans, and his destruction of government intervention, student loans, and social security scares off Democrats. That's just the hard truth of it.
I try to understand as many sides as I can. Libertarians by their nature aren't really a unified party to begin with. I'm a Taoist, so I'm not really with any of these groups, though I probably sympathize most with libertarian concepts.
I also don't fully disagree with the conspiracy theory of paid bad actors, but if that were the case it's more likely to be one or two bad actors operating on multiple accounts. I just recommend being careful that you don't begin to believe that everyone commenting is doing so with bad intentions.
@@Puzzlesocks I appreciate Chase being civil and specific about his policy presentations. He doesn't expect to win, but he does see a presidential run as a way to educate re: libertarian ideas. Many people conduct their lives being fiscally conservative and socially liberal. They might find a home in the Libertarian party. Fortunately I don't have to vote for the "lesser of two evils" which is real wasted vote in my book. This gives me comfort. Peace and comfort to you Puzzlesocks ☯

Cutting budgets is good if it is directed towards cutting overhead before cutting the core reason for the creation of the program. For example, combining departments to make them more efficient. Food Stamps, Medicare, TANF, and WIC could be housed in one building within a city, one social worker for a family, instead of one for each program. One form for all programs and requiring documentation that covers all programs; create a file for each family, instead of multiple files for each program.

Not a fan of Trump, Biden or Oliver, just someone wanting answers and a president who cares about America and all it's people. Period.
He says Trump locked down this country??? He sounds like an MSNBC host
trump is the one that locked down the country in march 2020 and he was also the one that developed the clotshots (vaccines) type operation warpspeed in the youtube search bar.
Everything he said about Trump was correct. Trump was the president, he allowed the lockdowns to happen, AND he approved operation warp speed. A libertarian president would have never allowed America to go through that. He drone striked Iranian general Suleimani, even though he was destroying ISIS. AND Trump caused inflation with his 7 trillion dollar printing.
Well, during Trump admin trillions were printed & doled out to governors enabling them to lock their state down. Trump also disallowed travel from some countries for a certain time period with exec order bypassing legislature. It's the closest the US has ever come to a lock down all backed by "science" that never existed.
