so
well that my grades with the reason foundation reason dot com of all the
solicitor reason magazine too
uh... on line with us mike welcome to the program
but priority
i a finite is just
two things on my mind i remember one
is this uh... you guys are are talking about and in the federal crackdown on
medical marijuana i think it's one of the few areas
where
i agree with libertarians
okay at one of them sold
so you know what's your take on where where this is going what we should do
about it
i think with the growing every last week there was a poll that came out uh... for
the first time that
of majority of americans think that
obama should be in the crackdown on medical marijuana radar i think we may
have seamlessly america's something cultures actually cared about
um... but
there's that that the fact that he promises when he was campaigning in
kentucky
to sort of stopped a crackdown which were uh... signature issue under george
w bush
are not the fact that you can validly for these said that he thought that
managed to cram on july third you know that you can just sort of really are
going here
public opinion said you know the stuff of barring people should be a little
allowed to you that especially state for the legalized that the man on the other
hand you have obama's said uh... that
he'd start cracking down and then there are other issues to the belong fortune
questions as
defiant or using marijuana as a treatment for pain and a better
alternative to prescription pharmaceuticals but
picture big window bear the politics of it which is that
people think it should be that's station that we live in people's really do it
and about our city
but stop crackdown right insists on trying to keep his word
uh... and told liberty on this i think frankly personally i think that
uh... he cracked open book political world by endorsing marriage equality
and i think if he were to endorse at the very least
of uh... total rollback of federal laws that prevent states from
among administering their own marijuana laws particularly with regard medical
marijuana i think he would create another one of those giant cracks
uh... among the independent and week republican constituency that is largely
libertarian leaning i think that this could actually be missing the pushes him
over the top the the the the hard right does in the base
who are already running around you know screen in the you know obama wants you
know will uh... the enough gay marriage on every street corner something they
will then start screaming now he wants you know people smoking dope on every
corner on so what those people are gonna be crazy no matter what you say we're
gonna get the no matter what
but i think that that rational uh... there are some i rationalized
conspirators libertarians uh... in a way that
and who had pink eye i mean
you know that there is a
there's a growing list of issues on which were on the unabomber sort of
indistinguishable um... and that you know i think some of those are going to
be kind of difficult uh... create new daylight but marijuana really easy on
obama doesn't have to do anything all he have to do it stop doing something but
expensive we have to the review article time so he can just say in the sixteen
state
and the district of columbia or medical marijuana legal
cracking down it is really that simple it creates a huge amount of daylight
between iran and uh... you know any other problem i think with his economic
similarities on this issue is that they both sort of hamburg same way which is a
short turned into a joke mean romney that sort of
internet payment video of a of a person in a wheelchair i think a some formal up
all of the f_a_a_ grimy look out for for chronic pain you think i should be
allowed to use marijuana andromeda looks at the guy like star trek wouldn't work
now and then walked away
he actually went to the guy like the guy i just said i have to burkina system
about sneeze
aag we're a nation in like you know it like a lot of horrible thing he'd ever
been sacred right hand
but what i had the with that habit of sort of jewish working property
personally internet several times
thank you up to like what about the spot you made
and i i i think i would be
been after public back question publicly like it that that the u_-two children
section of the occasion and done
armies laughed and when he's had a conversation bronco toward journalist
more intimate settings
you come up with a sort of bogus
well i never said i don't wanna medical marijuana i simply said we wouldn't be
locking up cancer patient
uh... but that let me know dole
best bill rate on individual homes done in states where marijuana legal
on patient their duckling rate on this country
and so what up a lot of knocking on my people keeping people from getting
access to the medicine and forcing them to go to a much more spencer
and much more sort of you know
elect holistic path of taking heavy-duty prescription principal really until it
was a
mike uh... question is a libertarian and so many self-identified literature
are running away from a one-term or identified something it that ok here's a
question
capitalism creates winners and those libertarians
generally enough u_s_ libertarians which is more important marker cir capitalism
their answer would be capitalism because it facilitates democracy in my right
yeah we had been ok ideas so which so so does the second knock on from that of
the second step on from that is
capitalism by its very nature creates winners and those years
what
do with libertarians what would libertarians
do with for or about
the losers
whip or about polluters so i mean i i did
uh... disorder will return at the monitor by whether i think
most of the the people are sore consort with uh... decided that we should have a
basic safety net when you can look at all of the peso libertarianism
and uh... you know what i got stats eisenhower republicanism
i think uh... acting the shrinking the type of the state united
you know probably a good idea i mean we've got
or a because and if you have you ever to have you ever tried living on three
dollars a day for a as your as your entire food budget
i think the problem the repair on it that it
just like every other government programs experience of mission creep
when one of the reasons the war on drugs is
so large right now because having a job at the clinic up there is no war on
drugs is not the safety net el paso towards our downtrodden looked at the
war on drugs
that part of welfare program do with the war on there with the i'm not talking
about the war on drugs at you know i'm i'm with you on that but there's and and
and and it's a multi-billion dollar industry
there's not a multi-billion dollar industry that has grown up around people
being on food stamps
and food stamps are carb you know basically it's three dollars a day
and he had to be a forty four million people who literally have to have this
in order to
t eat and three dollars a day
all you can buy as crap float
and and it's it's like
dan anyone a dial that back and i don't understand why i don't know i value year
on your show or that i think that
actual welfare for poor people and part of that
i have a problem of corporate welfare i have a problem with corporate for them i
have a problem with the amount of money we spend well and then then if you're
finally in a libertarian
desire on all atl and all of it
that simply are trying to stay there
ron paul is the only kind of democrat beyond kind of libertarian libertarian
party would an end to all of that
that's the official position libertarian party is that the only role for
government
is to is to enforce laws against fraud and to have an army and police force
i didn't look i don't understand what the platforms are i i i did i do but
you're saying but i also think that they that there's only one type of a bitter
and
or whatever libertarianism
at the point to people like john court finds that you're doing type of liberal
and billy packer democratic way book review a couple of liberal
incumbent democrat and i know that you would feel comfortable that
and your readers in your listeners and you're out into the field purple
dinosaur basic business macy's litmus test cases and and one of them is the
role of government
uh... you-know-what what roles government should play it's really
sounds to me like mike the that you're taking the position
at the republican party did before got hijacked
pondering the ministry
by the crazy quiet i have no problem with having a small predicting that i'd
buy a house and we have no problem with that i just think i mean that one of the
concern that i know that would return it went into effect one of the consent that
they have is that i think that the real life
this morphing you get the government mort
