But,

Austin PetersenGUEST
and I think, you know, people, the problem is, is that, you know, the people who I've been around who believe in personal liberty, they very rarely talk about personal responsibility that comes with it.

Austin PetersenGUEST
And I think libertarians have done a very good job at explaining how the free market works.

Austin PetersenGUEST
And I think nobody has explained better how an economy should run than the Austrian economists.

Austin PetersenGUEST
However, when it comes to the legal tradition of libertarianism, that's been a little bit more sketchy.

Austin PetersenGUEST
And also when it comes to the cultural requirements of liberty, that has almost been entirely avoided by libertarians because some people think that, you know, this is well, this is just something it's the marketplace and therefore people will just kind of decide what the social conventions are.

Austin PetersenGUEST
And the problem with national security is that our opinions don't change any of the outcome on this one.

Austin PetersenGUEST
And everybody is always, The president is always dealing with the problems that the president that came in before them, like these are the kinds of things that you do have to think of when you run for president, which I did.

Austin PetersenGUEST
And so what happens is, is that you have to start realize that you have to realize that the president does have access to information that we don't have.

Austin PetersenGUEST
And the way that Iran has behaved during this conflict shows that they are basically children and that they don't deserve to have a nuclear weapon.

Austin, is that true that you committed, accidentally committed a felony? Is that, they really said something like that? Because I could see how you might accidentally commit a felony because there's, I don't know what felony I actually commit, but I can see how that happens maybe a couple times a year, but it says you do it every day.
