A Presidential Candidate Who Believes in Economic and Personal Freedom: Chase Oliver
Vložit
- čas přidán 15. 08. 2024
- Everyone’s talking about Trump or Biden in the 2024 presidential race.
But did you know there’s another candidate-one who doesn’t want war, tariffs, or welfare?
----
To get our new weekly video from Stossel TV, sign up here: www.johnstosse...
----
Chase Oliver is the new presidential candidate of the Libertarian Party.
I’ve discovered, to my sadness, most people don’t even know what a libertarian is.
So I ask Oliver, “What’s a libertarian?”
“Someone that allows you to live your life in peace, free from government intrusion. If you're not harming anyone, your life is your life, your body's your body, and your business is your business!"
I like the sound of that. But what exactly would a libertarian president do?
Watch the above video to find out.
The only American who won't acknowledge this Administration's failed economic policies is Joe Biden. "Shrink-flation' is the least of our worries compared to rising rents and stagnant wages, but it is an undeniable indicator of how bad our inflation has gotten. I have $100k that i like to invest in a non-retirement account, any advice on that?
I would avoid index funds, mutual funds, and specific stocks for the time being. Right now, the best option is a fixed income of five percent. Put money aside for the times when the market really starts to bounce back.
45% of Americans do not invest in the stock market because of lack of guidance. Every year you don't invest, you are falling behind. I’m hitting numbers in the stock market I used to dream of… Going from $50k to $600k in my portfolio is surreal all thanks to insights from my financial advisor.
Please can you leave the info of your invstment analyst here? I need such luck
She's known as Sharon Marissa Wolfe One of the finest portfolio managers in the field. She's widely recognized; you should take a look at her work.
Sharon Marissa Wolfe is among the most accomplished portfolio managers in the industry, widely acknowledged for her outstanding work. I highly recommend taking a closer look at her impressive portfolio.
The reason I never self identify as a libertarian is because of the libertarian party. I share a lot of libertarian values (probably more than the actual party) but the name and the people who purport it are so dogmatic and lack any nuance they are never in threat of executing any of their goals.
Completely agree. I looked at the L party 35 years ago and like a lot of what I saw except for the people pushing it. More Liberal than Libertarian for me. Wish we had a Thomas Jefferson type running for any office.
Read hanss hoppe and rothbard
You are a little L libertarian. The libertarian party is not libertarian.
@@BillFerrero the people who claim they want a founding father in office shriek when any semblance of a founding father's immigration policy is mentioned.
Certainly seems that way.
"Government can help more if politicians ACTUALLY cared about its citizens. " -Steve Sabbai
THEY pretend to care during the elections but once they get elected, they forget all about you.
Yep. And only care about lining their pockets from then on.
Thank you for having Oliver on so we can understand where he stands on these topics.
Yeah, and hopefully end any thought of giving them power. Open borders? Wow.
@@user-conservative-waspYeah he’s got my vote
LOL! Yeah, he's not at all a woke liar telling a bunch of dummies what they want to hear. Sure, ignore his record and just listen to what he's saying today - that always works out well.
Why doesn't Oliver run for Senate or something, in some state that failed to run a decent Republican candidate? I am voting for Current President Trump's 3rd term, because I want for him to keep all his good promises, and not just _some._ That criminal Hillary Clinton needs to be arrested like he promised to in the debates. And what are we doing about the Democrat coup, the theft of the 2020 election(s)? Isn't that high treason, so why don't we act like it? Where are the prosecutions or the military tribunals if that is what it takes?
He’s a democrat, who would vote for this guy anyway
I am a republican and I lean libertarian on many but not all issues. I think most republicans do. Democrats seem to lean communist.
The young ones do. The old ones are just plutocrats at this point.
Full offense, but republicans think everything they don’t like is “communist.” You probably couldn’t even explain what that is without looking it up or relying on boomer memes.
@@Sun-diver You know me so well. Phychic I suppose. I know most democrats aren't true communist but the communist party members have joined the democrat party because they think alike on many issues.
Democrats today are communist.
@@Sun-diverThe real problem is the spin doctors that thrive on keeping people on both sides at each others throats. They make me sick. Be a good American and be good to oher Americans.
This is why the Libertarian Party will never go anywhere.
They made good strides with the Mises Caucus takeover in Reno, but there is obviously a long way to go. At least Angela McArdle is still the chair.
I like a lot of what they stand for, but i have lived over seas and you cant just let people walk into our country. They have different norms and customs. They will destroy this country, just look at what is happending to europe.
@@spikes1529 I’d like to think that they would adapt to our norms, and criminal law would force them to act acceptably but we already have too many people in prisons and don’t have the resources to deport the bad ones
@@spikes1529sorry- but politicians and bureaucrats have destroyed this country far worse than immigrants have.
The main problem with progress for the libertarian party is the establishment's entrenchment in media and the 2-party system.
The second problem is probably infighting.
You cannot vote your way out of tyranny.
I am fed up and tired of the Republicans and Democrats. These endless wars became the last straw. Please vote Green or Libertarian this election! I may not fully agree with either Green or Libertarian platforms, but I know both are truly anti war. That's good enough for me.
Completely open borders? Wow.
Ronald Reagan was open borders....
I can understand it from an AnCap perspective, but it only makes sense if the government is eliminated first. Until that, it is completely stupid and destructive in a way that encourages people to ask for help from the government. And that is completely counter to Libertarian goals.
@@gloriathomas3245you keep using that phrase open borders but I don’t think you know what it means
The idea of only needing a criminal background/health check to get in is a pretty standard liberty position.
@@gloriathomas3245
Nice deflection. So what?! What's your point?!
Open borders chase
I would vote Libertarian except they don't believe in our border and the sovereignty of our nation.
Well, yeah, free movement of goods and people is a libertarian belief. There was no immigration control in the US 125 years ago.
Trump didn’t close the border
@@flight2k5 Apparently Trump isn't what he says.
The clown believes that closing the Border's the government infringing on our rights it seems.
Open borders is a HARD HELL NO!
He doesn’t wanna open the border. He just wants to have a port of entry for them to come through legally, which is what Donald Trump is what trump will do. I’m a Republican, but I think this might be changing my mind especially with the Social Security issues
@@thomasdumais8511 Don't get him wrong, he absolutely wants an open border. Unlimited immigration is an open border.
So go vote for endless wars, debt, and welfare, because that's way better than people migrating 🤡
A 0 welfare state with free travel is super libertarian to be honest
@@KrimsonStormexactly. People are so naive to conceptualize this as anything else.
Given his (Chase Oliver) comments on drag queen story hour, George Floyd, vaccination, border security, and some other topics, this interview by Stossel looks an awful lot like damage control.
How so? He stated exactly what his positions are on most of those topics. You don't have to agree with those positions, but he isn't trying to obfuscate.
Stossel seriously damaged his libertarian reputation with this utter BS piece. I had been a fan of Stossel, but now maybe I need to reconsider that? Current President Trump has practically already won his 3rd term. Even much of the former Democrat base is defecting, tired of the endless Democrat corruption and BS. Borders is a serious losing issue for Democrats, so is the ByeDone inflation, and a lot of other things.
@@chesscomsupport8689
Now is hardly the time to be voting for some wimpy so-called libertarian, who refuses to take reasonable or moral positions.
Chase Oliver's positions are *WRONG,* and that is hugely why the Libertarians lose again and again. Surely, I lean much libertarian, but so-called Libertarians need to stop taking morally-wrong and stupid positions. Where are they expecting to get votes from? From brain-washed evil Democrats? From the Bible Belt?
Indeed
I think the problem is his voting record belies his stated position on a lot of these topics
The open border thing is insane. Lost me on that alone. We can't solve the problems of the world with immigration to the US
So what about Ronald Regan then?
@gloriathomas3245 Regan was a disaster for this country. Most of his policies are why we are in the state we are today. He traded the future of the country for temporary economic prosperity.
Ever read the Constitution? Do you think the gov't should be constitutionally limited?

If he's the best libertarians can come up with, your going nowhere fast.
Oliver is no libertarian. He is an anti-2nd, woke-pandering, Obama-supporter masquerading as a libertarian. He's only there because the LP is committed to petty divisiveness.
Exactly
Agree!
That’s always going to be the case because in the end, “libertarian politician” is an oxymoron.
Dave Smith
He’s just a Democrat in a Libertarian costume
I agree with you. It’s kind of like smoke and mirrors. They will market this other path as better. And then people will believe it. They won’t do research but they will believe it. It sounds like the D party realizes they’re coming to a head and they need to make a change
you don't know what Libertarian means
No, he's what a Democrat should be if a Democrat talked more like JFK talked and acted more like JFK talked. He made a mistake with Obama, but he made that mistake for good reasons. I sure as hell didn't get duped by that socialist wannabe, but I understand why so many people did. At least Chase Oliver saw that Obama vomited out nice words without acting on them and changed his mind.
When you're so far right leaning that everyone who doesn't agree with you must be a Democrat.
Bingo!!

Quit sending our taxes overseas!
It's not that simple. It is a global marketplace. Preserving the country's foreign interests is crucial.
@jps101574 The government using a gun to extract a citizens wealth and send it oversees for political/personal gain while the citizen has no choice in the matter is not "preserving foreign intrest" it is extortion and retroactive slavery.
@@jps101574 Being a global marketplace doesn't mean we have to prop up petty dictators all over the world, which is what our tax dollars do today.
@@jps101574 How are one sided trade deals that penalise us and benefit a dumpster fire like communist china 'preserving the country's foreign interests'? Our foreign interests should be getting the best deal for Americans we can and WALKING when the deal sucks, just like we do when store A has shittier prices than store B...
It sounds good but the reality is is sending money out gives someone else our problems. Essentially we’re sending our inflation to other countries
I'm all for letting parents decide, but the moment that parent allows an adult to touch that kid's pipi for money, both adults are criminals
@thirty_character_limit No, some people unfortunately don't agree with it if "touching" is for the purpose of cutting it off.
As an Independent, I am sick to death of hearing if I vote for anyone not a candidate for the Democratic or Republican Parties, my vote is wasted. Nothing will change until there are real choices in our government.
Vote Republican.
This is the truth,
It is the balance of compromise but not compromising too far.
Unfortunately it is a wasted vote.
"Nothing will change until
there are real choices in government."
... NOTHING will change until a significant group of citizens rebel against the Deep State's Uniparty, clean house, & reinstitute our constitution from scratch!
It is been made quite clear over a hundred years that playing by the Uniparty's rules is an exercise in futility.
You might like the American Solidarity Party. Its candidates preach that the only wasted vote is the one not cast.
His trans and "private" vax mandate opinions are detached from reality. He is either willfully ignorant on the outcomes of these actions or he is maliciously supportive of them.
Kids can't provide informed consent and employers can't void all of your human rights based on the whims of "the science."
It's not a human right to work at a specific place of business. You get to choose based on the compensation and policies/procedures of the business. There is no "human right" to WFH, either. If a business wants you in office, you can either accept it or quit.
According to him Business could discriminate based on race as well
@@richard77231 The law currently forbids firing people on the basis of sex, race, religion, etc. under the Civil Rights Act. Allowing termination for other deeply held beliefs is arbitrary and nonsensical.
Do you support repealing the Civil Rights Act, or are you talking out of both sides of your mouth?
He mentioned how parents should make decisions for their kids, not the kids themselves.
@@TexasRedFam Yes businesses should be able to ostracize themselves from civilized society and fail because of disgusting practices like racism. That is a perfect example of the market self regulating.
Parents shouldn’t be allowed to transition their kids Oliver.
Not just allowed - pressured and threatened if they don't.
@@blessedwithchallenges9917
🎯
It's a parental rights issue
@@Justin_Beaver564 should parents be allowed to get their kid a tattoo at age 10? Should parents be allowed to harm their kid in any other way, as long as the child consents?
I'd say that policy surrounding the well-being of kids, them being considered unable to truly consent, is actually one of the very few issues where libertarians *should* want the government to step in. This is why under a libertarian system, a person would be allowed to be a junkie and live in squalor, but it would be considered child abuse if there was a child in the home. I'd say doing irreparable physical damage to a young child is at least as bad, even if the child 'consents' to it. Parents should know better. There is a debate to be had about the age at which an individual should be able to start hormones or have surgery, but it isn't simply a 'parents rights' issue.
Does this mean you are pro vaccine mandates?
While I disagree with many of his personal beliefs and his policy on open borders might be a step too far, but most of his economic policies are great to me. As a fellow Georgian, I hope he does well
He has zero chance of winning anything
thankfully
Chase Oliver
But he will suck some of Biden voters.
I take it as a win.
This will be the worst performance of a Libertarian candidate yet!
No third party will ever win the election anyways. This is nothing new.
I'll still give my party support though by voting for this guy.
Stossel has introduced me to many wise people and ideas over the years for which I am grateful and enhanced, Chase Oliver is not on that list.
That’s what I’m thinking too.
Amen.
Chase Oliver is the opposite of Thomas Sowell.
@@ArshAZ83 Amen.
If the person, project, or idea tags a libertarian label on it, Stossel promotes it.
Completely open borders? what countries in the world did that work for again?
Not one here in Africa. And none in Asia. Any in South-America?

What an amazing coverage. Asking the hard questions while allowing Chase to respond. Thanks for this.
*The guy was making pretty decent arguments until he said "open borders". The United States is a sovereign independent Constitutional Republic that's allowed to have and enforce borders.*
We can still benefit and grow from immigrants coming over. We got to the moon with immigrants, we built the railroad with immigrants. Doesn’t mean they should get welfare or vote.
This guy is a fake libertarian he really is a democrat who acts like a libertarian trump is a better libertarian then chase is
The way I see it is people come in illegally anyways. Even if you build a wall, people will still get in.
And once they get in, there's plenty of cities they are protected in. So what's the point. Just open the borders and we can save the resources we're wasting on it.
To run against Trump at this late stage, makes him look very much like a fake. A vote for Democrats continuing to steal elections, a vote for whichever elderly zombie control-freak that the evil Democrats replace the very elderly zombie ByeDone with.
Did you not listen to what he said? it was Stossel who said that, it is part of what people THINK he supports, Oliver explained he wanted to let people come in through the ports and be vetted to keep out the criminals, not just walk in like what is already happening now.

I love John Stossel. I have always been a libertarian who voted Republican. If this guy is the future of the libertarian party then I'm no longer partial to them. A leftist performing as a libertarian.
My thinking too.
Lost me at open borders. That's a hard no
Not fully open. He would keep those with a criminal record out, or at least try to.
so you aren't a libertarian. Great. but you aren't paying attention. We have had trump and biden go back and forth, each raising money, and a stink about the border while neither one will close the border. The whole point of the libertarian party is that there are people on either side of the line that do what they want, and the border doesn't matter. Just like the canadian border. So While he says open border, what he means is SANE border policy. Biden has international aid organizations giving people money as they walk up to the USA. That is INSANE border policy. Trump built 200 miles of a wall. Thats great. we only need trump to get elected 10 more times for a whole ass border policy from him
😂 Why?! Who cares about imaginary lines that mean nothing..?
Trillions in debt and endless wars is better than open borders- Republican clowns
@@RealCoolGuyevery country that has ever existed since the beginning of time? Most of your family with their own yards/property borders?
Gross. Chase is indefensible.
I was one of those Libertarians who opposed Chase’s nomination and after watching this video, I will at least consider voting for him.
Can I ask what in this interview changed your mind? It had the complete opposite effect on me.
Who actually believes this woke Democrat is suddenly a hardcore libertarian? Sure, ignore his record and just believe what he says today when he's desperate for votes, that always works out well.
if you need a healthcare professional to tell you if its healthy for your son to become neutered, you aren't fit to run for President.
He doesn't support child transition surgery, mostly social transition and in rare cases hormone therapy if the parents and doctors agree. This is one percent of one percent of cases
@@steelestabler6281The evidence does not support those either. The majority of the time it’s just a phase and children grow out of it. Hormone therapy is as extreme and irreversible as surgery.
@@steelestabler6281he supports it being an option for parents. This isn’t like education or religion. This is a kids body and they have no capacity to reverse physical sex modifications. That should not be an option for a minor. Its completely different than these other parental rights.
@@bgorg1
Gender-confusion/damage should not be an option for parents nor for minor children. It should not be allowed at all, but even if so, certainly not before the legal age of adulthood by which irreversible decisions are of legal age to be made.
@@yosefmacgruber1920 sure sounds like you want the government to tell you what to do with your body
Chase Oliver supports vax mandates... wtf are you talking about??
But only for faceless companies that are definitely not servants to the faceless government.
Yeah people saying he doesn't sort of missed the point. He has never said he didn't support mandates. He absolutely personally supports them which is why he always gives the same vague answers.
Well you are wrong Chase dies mot support any goverment mandates
@@user-xo8os8wv5k but he personally supports them which is worse imo.
He supports property rights and rights of interaction. If you don't want unvaxed employees, or don't want want *vaxed* employees, that's your right, just as it's the right of employees or customers or vendors to do business with companies that require vaxes, prohibit vaxes, or don't care either way.
We can have open borders, with the following requirements:
1) No welfare or other government services to non-citizens (no welfare to citizens or anybody else is also a good idea, but a separate topic)
2) No counting for representation (illegal immigrants count for like 4 or 5 representatives in places like California, which explains why Democrats want them so badly)
3) No fence climbing ... wait your turn, enter at the assigned entry points ... we need time to make sure you're not a criminal or a terrorist
I can fully understand why people do not want open borders. *None* of the above requirements are in place, nor show any signs of happening any time soon.
So many people in this comment section demonstrating how little they know about how libertarianism works.

@@johnsupergeil7098 A word of advice don't put too much stock into how people respond to anything on twitter. I've had face to face political conversations with hundreds of people from all over the country. I suspect a tiny minority of them care about someone else's sexual orientation but I would bet the overwhelming majority don't support drag queen story hour. I would also go out on a limb and guess most aren't for open borders or parents having procedures on their kids genitals. That's before we get to his vague stances on the "pandemic" which don't seem favorable to most. This guy has too many stances that are viewed as radical left which happen to be current priority concerns for many Americans anywhere right of the extreme left on the political scale. His campaign is doomed before it started, don't be surprised when this guy gets less votes than Jo did last time.

I could tell this because when it was announced that he was the candidate, most "Libertarians" said he was terrible based on the fact that he was gay. I didn't even know he was gay until then, I simply just looked at his actual platform. While the open borders thing I dislike, as well as some of his own personal opinions, that is not 100% of his platform and he is not campaigning on his personal opinions, most of it is still in line with the party and the ethics of Libertarianism
As a libertarian leaning person, I don't like some of the policies of recent years. Immigration for one though ,the libertarian party has long been an open border booster long before this guy got the nomination.
Lost me at normalizing trans activism, especially so when it comes to children.
Had me up until the kids transitioning thing. Child abuse isn't cool oliver.
Can you remind me who has been in charge of the country as the trans movement has been growing and going full swing? If you are supporting Trump or Biden but not Oliver because of this issue, you have been fooling yourself about your principles.
I get the impression he's more on the "it's okay to sell heroin to children" side of the party.
@StodgyAyatollah possibly so.
He's on the "parents know better than government" side of things.
@@kenmoellman This is a rights issues and children deserve protections from being infringed upon even from their parents. One of the very few roles the gov should have is the protection of rights.

They are not there for us to be the world’s police. They are there to protect our own interests….
We will be when we invite the whole bloody world in through open borders..
I find this to be his most ridiculous stance. The truth is that our presence all over the world keeps the peace. Particularly, our nuclear weapons keep our enemies from making a move and keep our allies from developing their own nukes. This isn’t the 19th century anymore, isolationism is not an option.
Having a strong navy presence enables safe trading routes. This is necessary for free trade.

Absolutely great coverage, Stossel. Candidate Chase Oliver is so poised and well spoken about the issues. I love his Libertarian approach to government. I can’t wait for the whole interview.
Chase Oliver makes so much sense! Love the fact I can vote for him.
Leave you alone… unless it is vaccine mandates. Or child transitioning. Or progressive policies.
This is guy is as much “leave you alone” as the IRS is.
Chase doesn't want the government involved in any of those things - pretty standard liberty position.
He doesn't support government mandating vaccines
You clearly didn't watch the video
@@markyer3996
I don't have to. I don't watch what people say, stopped that a long time ago. I watch WHAT THEY DO.
NOT mandating that you must, or must not do any of those things, IS leaving people alone to make their choices in their private lives. You and your family and your doctor get to make those choices. Not the government, not some political activist masquerading as a teacher, YOU. You personally may make one decision, but it is not for the government to decide you are wrong. And listen to his principle on this: if you could make a strong, reasonable case, that either a vaccine or "child transitioning" as rigorously defined by you constituted a harm, per se, he would agree that said harmful act should be outlawed. Also, he is not, in any way shape or form, pro government mandate of ANYTHING. He is in favor of letting a business decide what it can require its employees to do. This was repeated multiple times in this video. That is exactly the type of choice that is pro libertarian. You may disagree with it, and that is fine; don't work at those god awful places if you're so bent out of shape about those policies. But you DO NOT EVER mandate that something should not be mandated: that is just one authoritarian position opposing another authoritarian position.
Like many people who call themselves libertarians, Chase is a lunatic in a libertarian costume.
So basically a typical libertarian politician.
@@FilmFlam-8008 lol for real
This guy really made me disappointed in Libertarians.
Liberalitarian...
We get it. You don't like your two party system challenged, so you resort to an ad hominem attack instead of discussing issues.
I am going to vote for Chase Oliver. He is an excellent candidate and very well spoken. He should be included in debates.
So Chase Oliver, whose only main policy issue that concerns me is Open Borders, who has otherwise sensible and reasonable stances, is a bad candidate? Give me a break! I’d gladly vote for him other every single other candidate, I have a lot more common with his economic and most of his social views than the other candidates, that’s for sure.
Wait. If he doesn't pass every item on your checklist you're supposed to call him a clown or some such nonsense and proclaim he's the worst LP candidate ever /s
@@doubleandy I know right? It’s silly!
Depends how heavily you weight the Open Borders issue, it's not just a question of the percentage of issues one has in common with a certain candidate but the importance one attributes to each individual issue.
Absolutely not.
Uneducated
Study Libertarianism
When the Libertarian Party nominates it’s people, they’re not nominating their best.
I think that holds true for pretty much every party.
That's the reality with primary elections... Biden and Trump aren't the best either, but that's what the motivated voting base chooses for the unmotivated voters to pick from in the general election. Yay democracy!
Yet he's still a gazillion times better than Trump or Biden. That's the power of liberty.
I don't know how anyone can sugar coat this TURD of a candidate! Wow! Just wow!
They're socialist, they're communist. But some of them are very fine people in sure
Desantis would mop the floor with Oliver. Oliver is simply an upset democrat masquerading as a libertarian with a fast talk and sour attitude.
Desantis doesn't respect or believe in freedom, so it's not difficult to imagine him committing an act of aggression.
Desantis is a dipshit. He couldn't mop the floor with Pine Sol.
Chase Oliver had the oppurtunity to debate a Democrat 1v1 on a national stage and helped the Democrat trash the Republican instead.
He is not Joe Biden or Donald Trump for sure but he is still a Democrat at heart. Not since Ron Paul has the LP fielded a good candidate for President.
YOU are RIGHT about "not since Ron Paul has the LP fielded a good candidate for President."
@@TrailToughTrailers In principle and ideology no political idea comes closer to the founders principles than the LP. In practice and personality they suck.
Andre Marrou, Harry Browne (twice!), Michael Badnarik, Bob Barr, Gary Johnson, Jo Jorgensen and Chase Oliver say what?
You can disagree on Chase and some do. You can disagree on Barr and Marrou and some do. You can disagree on Jorgensen and some do. Heck, some even disagree on Johnson (not sure why) and Badnarik (he was unconventional but consistent). I happen to think they were all great candidates, albeit different from each other.
But Harry Browne? Not a good Libetarian candidate? Come on. You cannot make that case.
@@AnthonyDOrazio So good most people have no idea who he or any of these other candidates are. How did any of them do? Only 2 people outside of the GOP and Dems even made a showing, one was Ron Paul a Libertarian the other Ross Perot an independent.
@@anthonyg.4761 Gary Johnson made more of a showing than Ron Paul did as a Libertarian candidate. So did Browne, Barr and Jorgensen. You may be thinking of when Ron Paul ran as a Republican. That wasn't a third party run.
He lost me domestically with his stance on trans kids and the border. His foreign policy lost me when called Israel's responce a genocide.
Exactly!!
Calling it a genocide is the biggest turn off for me.
@@judahfriedman8516 I'm curious as to why. Serious question.
If we have no welfare state, what is the issue with no cap on immigrants entering?
Yep, Those were the 3 points that turned me off from him and 4th also being a former democrat.
For years it was the dems and republicans fighting each other with an endless supply of terrible candidates with no hope of getting a Libertarian into office. Well that's changed now, now we also have terrible candidates. :D
Chase Oliver is a joke. Perhaps controlled opposition
I’m libertarian leaning on a lot of economic issues. But having a wide open border is nuts.
Not fully open. He wouldn't let criminals in.
@@ledzeppelin1212it’s still not at all sustainable with resources & services when it’s millions upon millions. In 2022 they apprehended 2.4 million people trying to cross illegally. During the same year more than 1 million got their green card doing it the right way and god knows how many made it throughout illegally successfully. Even by 2022 numbers you’d expect 4 million or so new people a year filtering in, and that’s without open borders for all who want to enter like this fella wants. We can’t have social safety net programs that work & unfettered immigration. It’s not sustainable.
@thirty_character_limitWould you agree that using the term “open borders” was a huge mistake on Mr. Oliver’s part? Look how many people it isolated unnecessarily.
@thirty_character_limit 3:55
@@ledzeppelin1212 You mean he won't let the criminals with a criminal record in, but all the ones that just haven't been caught in their home country yet to ply their trade here. Lot of MS13 people haven't been to jail 👍same with Hamas, Hezbola...
Dude supported oBomba and the (D)s .... hardcore.. what a wolf in sheeps clothes
Okay? People can change. That's how we grow our base.
I've said for years that Libertarians are very similar to Democrats.
@@ThePoliticalOrangeAngler On social issues yes, not on economic issues which is what really matters
@@Justin_Beaver564 Yeah, and the Republicans used to be more libertarian on economic issues until it took a nationalist/populist turn and embraced protectionism and socialist industrial policy.
Personally, I'm waiting for his track record. Ones can say whatever, but how has he voted the past decade?
I know you're Libertarian but you don't have to back them on every. Your candidate backed the vax mandate and still does. He's not leaving anyone alone.
On November 5, 2024
I'm casting my vote for Donald J. Trump! 🦅😎
3:29 he has drawn the incorrect conclusion here. Freedom rests with the individual not with the corporation. My individual medical history should be completely outside the purview of my employer.
My personal medical decisions are my own.
A lot of self-proclaimed "libertarians" would be more honest calling themselves feudalists.
@thirty_character_limit That's not practical for most people. If you look around most metropolitan centers you have maybe two major healthcare organizations that run all of the hospitals. To find a place that does not require those vaccinations you're going to have to be working for a very small independent provider with a reduction in compensation to match.
Your personal medical decisions are your own. A company's decision who to employ is also its own. I don't see what's hard to understand.
@@williambrennan104 Paying someone for their work does not make you their master. I don't know what's hard to understand about THAT.
@@palaceofwisdom9448 You are saying that the state should at gunpoint force people to pay other people who are not vaccinated.
That guy sucks
I think having a Libertarian like Oliver in office is a good idea. I just dont think America is ready for one. Take Argentina and electing Milei, they had to make a drastic change to elect him.
You're just wrong about this guy, John.
Stossel is a Libertarian. He's said so himself.
@@smking100yeah and he likes people who are larpertarians
Lol what a wack job
Still not a single candidate even mentioning getting back to a rational interpretation of the Constitution.
I consider myself as an avid libertarian, but this "thing" always bothered me a lot about the libertarian principle - that "humans are basically reasonable being"; John frequently has said, "the people can sort out the bad businesses" - yeah, but what about all those victims of frauds on the way to reach the trustworthy state?? By the same token, I just can't like that guy 'cause this guy is saying the same, people are all reasonable being, so it's OK to let people go anywhere they want and let the countries behave any way they want - NOTHING CAN BE FURTHER FROM THE TRUTH
Apparently, parents never abuse their kids. Does Oliver support the father who ran his kid on a treadmill until he died? Did that father make the best decision for his family?
Editing the top comment since my replies aren't showing below.
Current studies show 80% or more of children grow out of gender dysphoria. So, making any permanent change to a child is an aggressive act that is unnecessary in 80% of cases. Maybe less will grow out of it with the current push/acceptance of transgenderism, but it's still a mistake to make permanent changes to a child that statistically will most likely grow out of it.
I appreciate where you are going with this, and you bring up another long-standing Libertarian debate about the non-agression principle and intervening in parenting.
But 1) this is a false dichotomy. Parental medical choice isn't generally in the same category as forced bulimia. I say "generally" because Munchausen by proxy is a thing and that *is* abuse of which doctors NEED to be mindful. 2) it's a false dichotomy that makes an assumption that parents are forcing their kids into doing medical things that, in general, they aren't.
@@AnthonyDOrazio Parents should mostly be left alone to raise their children. But, 80% or more of gender dysphoric youth grow out of it and accept their body with no medical intervention. Countless gay and lesbian people have said they went through a phase of wearing the "opposite" genders' clothing and playing with toys. ("Opposite" added because gendered clothing and toys are kind of ridiculous, since before puberty boys and girls are similar in proportion and they can play with whatever toys it doesn't matter.) Whether it is surgery, hormones, or blockers they all have consequences, many permanent. Maybe symptoms will persist into adulthood more frequently with the current push of transgenderism. But it is an aggressive act to mess with your child's hormones and body parts when 80% won't need it.
@@AnthonyDOrazioExcellent reply.
Where the line is that when crossed, the government has the right to intervene in parenting, is an eternal debate, particularly in democratic societies. We will never form a perfect definition of where that line is.
Chase is a Democrat cosplaying as a libertarian
Nope, he’s the full embodiment of the libertarian platform 😂
Trump is a democrat in cosplay as a Republican
@@33greenleaf no one hates libertarians more than libertarians lol
No he's an actual Libertarian, not a conservative pretending to be a libertarian
@@Justin_Beaver564 no he is a dnc lackey who is cool with chemical castration and open borders. he cheated with a cop to steal the nom. he isnt a libertarian.
This guy is insane and must be stopped, essentially he’d permit peaceful liberty.
The thing that has made me want to leave this country the most, the thing that has discouraged me from working even the slightest amount, is Social Security & Medicare taxes on income. They absolutely repulse me in their very nature.
I mean how can you impose discouragements on someone’s earnings so that they won’t have their own ability to take care of their medical needs, retirement needs, disability needs, survivor needs? The whole thing is backwards.
So far I don’t like what I am hearing, especially when it comes to immigration
You are NOT a libertarian if you think that the government can dictate where and how you live.
Is that what you say when you read the Constitution? His migration views are far more constitutional than Biden or Trump's.
@@kyletarrao5303 they are not citizens of the US in the first place so yes the government can say you have to come in legally

Open borders have nothing to do with libertarian-ism. you basically say that because i wont let strangers into my home i "dictate where and how people could live"
@@rft0920 Why cant anyone just be a citizen in the place where they live? Having a citizen/noncitizen paradigm is just a modern day caste system. How can you justify second class citizenship? Everyone who lives in a city is a stakeholder of that local society. Why do some people have more rights than others?
From what I've seen of the current libertarian platform they seem to be a bunch of nutters.

@@dustinabcDifferent times m8.
@@joshuawadsworth6417 Not at all. Libertarians entice the uneducated with the "Good times" (1700's to pre-civil war 1800's) However, those "good times" are romanticized by them. The founding fathers believed in liberty, and autonomy. But not libertarianism. Infact, a huge portion of early US history can be summed in a similar sense as the UK's. (As the political system was based on that.) What counts is economic freedoms, social life rather private or not still must be directed by morality and decency. Without civility, there is no room to prosper.
The LP has been/is in the process of being subverted. A LOT of socialist/marxist/communist infiltration unfortunately.
@E.V.A.N-COProductions I agree that Americas culture should be more conservative and prosperous.
However, the government needs at least to be handicaped to a degree in some areas as too much of a monopoly of power = disaster.
Keeping a wide devide is by design!!!
I'm a person of faith, not so much politics. When i discovered what more the libertarians are about, and who is one, what they believe & do, i felt i found anything closest to where i belong. I didn't know about this man but I'm going to look more into him. I was actually comsidering RFK because they aren't fair to him and I'm disgusted by this antiquated & controlled system where we are only allowed TWO choices, often terrible choices too!!! If this guy is on there in my state of Massachusetts, I may have found someone i can now commit to. My conservative friend in NY feels the same way, saying he's gonna "sit this one out". The repulicans give Israel our taxes, they're a liability NOT a friend and i don't see why we owe them our money!!! Nor Ukraine. Nobody but America is where OUR investment should be going into. THAT'S strength!!! But try telling that to the corrupt demonic democrat war machine or neocon AIPAC bought republicans. There are no true patriots!!! I read somewhere that the brilliant genius forefathers were going to add an amendment to criminalize sending taxes to foreign wars. Why didn't they? They had the ability to see how dangerous this is, the corruption, they had that kind of foresight but i have been trying to find answers as to why they didn't get around to it. Because it's damned us as a people and America's future.
Most libertarians dont know what libertarianism is
I've been a card carrying Libertarian since 1980 (I'm in my 60s) and Chase Oliver is a disaster based on info that many other commenters have stated below. I've always voted for the Libertarian Party candidate for President (even if I wasn't exactly excited for the person that chose that year), however, this year I'm not so sure I will vote LP.
Please explain. As a delegate at the convention who voted for Chase, I'd like to discuss your concerns.
Oh hell no. Chase ain’t it
Thank you LP for electing Olivier, now those who would vote LP on the right will move to Trump or no one, and those on the left will vote Oliver rather than Biden.
Is nice.
Oliver/term Maat 2024! 🎉
Chase Oliver is just as left as Biden.
Hes socially left-er than Biden, but economically right-er. But boiling everything to left-right leads to bad comparisons.
Conservatives always call libertarians Liberal. Liberals always call libertarians Conservative.
Leftist ideas like getting rid of social security, cutting taxes, taking away the state’s power to mandate, yeah real left.
He shares the same position as the standard libertarian position on almost everything.
I don't understand all these supposed libertarians that are whining about him when he lines up with nearly all that is libertarian.
You're never going to get a candidate that lines up with 100% of your opinions unless you run yourself.
@@lkjkhfggd it's the immigration issue. The Republican party gets real riled up.
Yes, Chase isnt the best, but fellow Libertarians consider that we should vote for him that we maybe able to gain recognition in DC if we can get 5% or more of the popular vote
This guy will he lucky to scratch the usual 3% 😂
I agree with him about S.S. issue. At 51, I would opt out in a heartbeat.
Completely principled. Best interview of Chase Oliver I have seen anywhere. Thank you Stossel.
No thanks, I left the LP after it showed it has no desire to actually change anything.
John, we get it, you're a libertarian. No one is voting for that Democrat in disguise.
If this is the best they got to offer they may as well stay home!
Great piece on Oliver!!! Thank you, John!!! Love from NC!!
