The Full Chase Oliver Interview on Immigration, War, Taxes, Welfare, School Choice and Star Trek

Donald Trump or Kamala Harris?

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.

————

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.

[dustinrogers]

This is really the only candidate I've heard so far that actually answers questions

[ChristopherRyans]

John Stossel is a American hero and legend. Where would this country be at without independent journalists like john ?

[petermgruhn]

"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.

I'll be proudly voting for Chase Oliver this year.

[ntsmith]

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.

[De_Guatemala]

End government welfare to both rich and poor.

[shelton]

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.

[fabiansuckfull]

Doesn't like Ron Paul and celebrated Trumps eviction from Twitter. That's literally all you need to know about this man.

[BroughPerkinsMedium]

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.

[FrancoBarberis-cd]

As an immigrant, I was in till he said he was for open borders. That's a terrible idea.

[pizaliasta]

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.

[GP-ycit]

This is not a Libertarian, he is a libertine. There is a stark difference and from the comments people are picking up on this.

[theprofessional]

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 .

[BrewsterMcBrewster]

If Elon Musk ran the government he could do like he did with Twitter: Immediately lay off 80% of the government. That would be a start.

[ps_pol_xbox]

It's a shame how the libertarian party went from nominating people like Ron Paul and Harry Browne to this.

[asildesigns]

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.

[aperson_]

We shouldn't have a border wall, and immigrants should come through ports of entry?? How will you ensure they come through ports of entry??

[Jamescub]

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.

[johnroberts]

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.

Fairtax Act & the Balanced Budget Amendment Act is what is needed!!!
