George Will's Libertarian Evolution: Q&A; on Obama, Syria, & the Power of Choice

Order: Reorder
Duration: 60:12
Updated: 13 Sep 2013

"I've lived in Washington now for 44 years, and that's a lot of folly to witness up close," says Washington Post columnist George Will. "Whatever confidence and optimism I felt towards the central government when I got here on January 1, 1970 has pretty much dissipated at the hands of the government." "In part, I owe my current happiness to Barack Obama," continues the 72-year-old Will, who "so thoroughly concentrates all of the American progressive tradition and the academic culture that goes with it, that he's really put the spring in my step." Branded "perhaps the most powerful journalist in America" by the Wall Street Journal, Will received the Pulitzer Prize for commentary in 1977 and is the author of numerous books, including Statecraft as Soulcraft: What Government Does, Men at Work: The Craft of Baseball, and One Man's America: The Pleasures and Provocations of our Singular Nation. A regular panelist on ABC's This Week, Will has the distinction of having been attacked in the pages of Doonesbury and praised in an episode of Seinfeld (for his "clean, scrubbed look"). More recently Will has become a champion of libertarianism, both in print and on the air. "America is moving in the libertarians' direction," Will wrote in a 2011 review of The Declaration of Independents, "not because they have won an argument but because government and the sectors it dominates have made themselves ludicrous." Will sat down with Reason's Nick Gillespie and Matt Welch to discuss his libertarian evolution (2:16), how Sen. John McCain spurred his political transformation (4:07), Ronald Reagan (4:29), the tax code (8:45), why the Republicans are becoming more interesting (19:30), what the government should be spending money on (23:14), war hawks and foreign policy (25:19), the benefits of judicial activism (34:49), gay marriage (37:55), marijuana legalization (39:04), the importance of Barry Goldwater (40:28), Mitt Romney (45:45), the 2016 election (46:37), Medicare (48:52), how Everett Dirksen's untimely death changed his life (50:42), why President Obama makes him happy (52:06), affirmative action (53:07), and his optimism in America's future (57:31). Approx. 60 minutes long. Shot by Meredith Bragg and Todd Krainin. Edited by Bragg.

Updated: 19 Mar 2015

Growing up as "a gender nonconforming entity" during Eisenhower's America wasn't easy for cultural critic and best-selling author Camille Paglia. Her adolescence in small-town, upstate New York was marked by rejection, rebellion, and cross-dressing—all in reaction to the stultifying social norms of the 1950s and early '60s. So what does Paglia think of contemporary culture, with its openness to a wide variety of ever-proliferating gender, racial, and sexual identities? Not much. "I do not feel that gender is sufficient to explain all of human life," Paglia tells Reason TV's Nick Gillespie. "This gender myopia, this gender monomania, has become a disease. It's become a substitute for religion. It is impossible that the feminist agenda can ever be the total explanation of human life." Whether the subject is feminism or the fate of Western civilization, Paglia is no Pollyanna. In this wide-ranging discussion, she says higher education is going to hell, the Fourth Estate is an epic FAIL, millennials are myopic, contemporary criticism has croaked, and Hillary Clinton might singlehandedly destroy the universe. Even Madonna, once Paglia's ideal of sex-positive feminism, seems to have lost her way. Does the celebrated author of Sexual Personae and Break Blow Burn have any reason to get out of bed in the morning? Does she have any hope for the universe at all? Watch the video to find out. CONTENTS 2:55 - Growing up as a "gender nonconforming entity" in Eisenhower's America. 7:50 - What is feminism? The limits of identity politics. 14:35 - Rape, paternalism, and Madonna on the university campus. 19:30 - How the country club model of university life has debased contemporary cultural criticism. 24:38 - The decadent obsession with cultural identity in the modern world. 29:13 - Authentic multiculturalism and critical theory. 32:42 - Is there any hope for the humanities? 37:25 - Contemporary journalism is bad and it makes politics even worse. 45:18 - What sort of image does a great president project? 47:27 - The importance of "working class people". 51:08 - Hillary Clinton is a disaster. Dianne Feinstein is presidential. 54:46 - What are you optimistic about? Students are more ignorant than ever. 58:16 - Paglia's upcoming work: religion and the paleo-Indian period. Runs about one hour. Produced by Todd Krainin. Hosted by Nick Gillespie. Cameras by Meredith Bragg and Krainin.

Adam Carolla vs. Patent Trolls, the Government, NPR, Salon, and more!

Order: Reorder
Duration: 16:15
Updated: 17 Jun 2014

"There's a lot of people out there whose job it is to be offended for other people," says Adam Carolla, comedian and host of the Adam Carolla Show podcast. "They're like, 'Hey, these are opinions people disagree with!' It's like, 'Hey, United States there, buddy. It's just one big pile of opinions that people disagree with.'" Reason TV sat down with Carolla in his Glendale warehouse/podcast studio to discuss a lawsuit he's facing from a so-called "patent troll" who claims intellectual ownership over the idea of "a system for disseminating media content representing episodes in a serialized sequence." In other words, the company claims to own the very idea of podcasting, despite never having produced a podcast itself. Carolla, whose show set a Guinness Book World Record for most downloaded podcast of all time, is a natural target for the patent troll, but Carolla believes that if he goes down, the entire future of podcasting may be at stake. So he's started a "Save Our Podcasts" campaign to fight back. "We were just sort of number one on their shakedown list, and I'm just assuming they'd just get to everyone who was in the top 1000 on iTunes eventually," says Carolla (1:46). "We sort of felt like, well, it'd be nice for our podcasting brothers not to give them 'X' amount of dollars... When terrorists take hostages, if you start negotiating with them, they just start taking more camera crews. We just figured we'd save the next camera crew. We'll take the duct tape and the zip ties." Carolla even made a recent trip to Washington, D.C. to discuss patent reform with a Congessional committee. But he left underwhelmed by the experience. "I got a call about an hour later that said, '[Sen. Patrick] Leahy shot it down,'" says Carolla (4:23). "It gave me renewed hope in the system and how one man could make a difference. Oh wait... it was a total waste of time." In addition to fighting off patent trolls, Carolla has also been busy shooting an independent film, working on his Spike TV show To Catch a Contractor, and recently released his third bestselling book, President Me: The America That's in My Head. He sounded off on several of the topics covered in that book, such as his disgust with Los Angeles ("this town is trashy" - 7:08) and comedians being pressured to issue fake apologies (10:25). He also calls out online media outlets for constantly engaging in ambush interview techniques, pointing to recent encounters with NPR and Salon as examples (11:45). "There's not a lot of people who disagree with them who are willing to even talk to them anymore because of the ambush nature of what they do now," he says. "There's sort of nothing in it for the person who's being interviewed by Salon.com anymore, because all they're going to do is try to make you look like a bigoted, sexist, xenophobic whatever." The interview concludes with Carolla discussing the various political labels that commentators have attached to him and why he considers himself "mostly libertarian" (14:43). "You bring up the topic, I'll give you the answer" says Carolla. "For me, if you go, 'Would you like to lower taxes? Yes. Are you OK with guys having a pot plant in their backyard? Yes. Would you like government smaller? Yes.' I think when you're done with many of these questions, you'll probably end up with libertarian." Approximately 17 minutes. Interview by Zach Weissmueller.

Conservative Artist Sabo: "My focus was to be mean, nasty, and just as bad as Bill Maher"

Updated: 20 Apr 2015

"Somewhere down the line Republicans forgot the importance of art," says "Sabo," the conservative street artist best-known for his guerilla poster of Ted Cruz as a tattooed smoker and Nancy Pelosi on all fours a la Miley Cyrus. Sabo, whose nom d'art is derived from the armor piercing sabot rounds, is based in Los Angeles in the real world and at Unsavory Agents online. Reason's Alex Manning followed Sabo around the streets of LA as he put up posters mocking Hillary Clinton's race for the White House. "When you consider how many artists out there are leftists, it's a huge percentage. So right off the bat that sets me apart...and that kind of made it possible for someone with mediocre skills to stand out," says Sabo. "People will say, 'Oh, there have always been conservative artists,' and that may be true, but they weren't mean. My focus was to be mean, nasty, and just as bad as Bill Maher or anyone else. I like to think I was pretty good at it." Through the 2016 election, Sabo expects to remain focused on left-wing targets, but he hasn't ruled out attacking Republicans he finds objectionable. "If a Republican politician does something completely gross, then of course I'll jump on them. I'm probably going to jump on Jeb Bush. I don't want to see another Bush in office." Produced by Alex Manning. Additional camera by Sabo wearing a GoPro. Music by Podington Bear. About 7 minutes.

“Confoundingly to me, people have come to be quite accepting of the value attached by fiat to these pieces of paper we call currency,” says Jim Grant, who’s the editor of Grant’s Interest Rate Observer and the author of The Forgotten Depression: The Crash That Cured Itself. “Are prices meant to be imposed from on high, or discovered by individuals acting spontaneously in markets? The readers and viewers of Reason known the answer to that but they’re regrettably in the minority." Grant sat down with Reason magazine editor-in-chief Matt Welch on Tuesday to discuss the underlying causes of the recent market turbulence, why we don’t really “have interest rates anymore,” and how the classic jazz song “It’s Only a Paper Moon” provides a fitting metaphor for the equities market.

Sweden: A Supermodel for America?

Order: Reorder
Duration: 6:15
Updated: 22 Jun 2010

To the American mind there may be nothing more quintessentially Swedish than the leggy, blond supermodel. But there's another Swedish model that inspires almost as much admiration—the Swedish economic model. With a generous welfare state and high living standards, Sweden seems to prove that socialism works. Much of the hope that swept Barack Obama into the White House rests on the belief that America could reach new heights under a regime of enlightened progressivism, that we could be more like the Swedes. Not so fast, warns Stockholm University sociologist Charlotta Stern: "If an American told me that the US should be more like Sweden I would say I don't think it's possible." The United States can centralize its health care system and pass other laws that mimic Sweden's welfare state polices, says Stern, but it's impossible to replicate a culture that allows those policies to operate about as smoothly as possible. Swedish bureaucracies inspire trust, but their American counterparts (DMV, TSA, IRS) inspire punch lines, if not outrage. But America could emulate some of the Swedish policies that don't require extensive bureaucracies. Take school vouchers. Teachers unions in America regard the idea as free-market radicalism, but families in Sweden enjoy universal school choice. Sweden adopted its famously progressive policies during the 1970s, but after years of sluggish economic growth the land of ABBA altered its course in the 1990s, adopting a host of free-market reforms, from deregulation to tax cuts. Although much of the disco-era welfare state remains, economist Andreas Bergh credits the free market reforms with reviving his nation's economy. "Sweden is moving in the market economic direction," says Bergh, "but that does not mean America should be moving in the socialist direction." What if the two nations continue on in different directions? Maybe some day when America is looking for a way to rejuvenate its economy, pundits will point to a different kind of Swedish model. One that increases individual choice and competition. "Sweden—A Supermodel for America?" is produced by Daniel B. Klein, and written and produced by Ted Balaker, who also hosts. Shot by Jonathan Liberman and Henrik Devell, with additional production support by Zach Weissmueller and Sam Corcos and post production by Hawk Jensen and Austin Bragg.

"Is this country of 300 million people only capable of being governed by two families?," asks Gary Johnson, the former two-term Republican governor from New Mexico, who also ran for president in 2012 on the Libertarian Party (LP) line. "The biggest factor in politics is name familiarity," says Johnson, referring to Clinton and Bush, "and that’s the phenomenon that exists right now." Johnson began the 2012 campaign as a Republican, and then switched to the LP. He ended up pulling 1.2 million votes in the general election, or one percent of the total ballots cast, beating every previous candidate put forward by the party in a raw tally. But Johnson says he's in no rush to jump back into the fray. "I just think there are more downsides than upsides to announcing at this point, and, look, I don’t have any delusions about the process," he says. "In retrospect, 90 percent of the time I spent [trying to become president] ended up to be wasted time." Johson recently found his "dream job" as CEO of Cannabis Sativa, a publicly traded company that markets weed products. "We want to be the Dom Perignon [of marijuana]," he explains. Johnson is also the chairman of the nonprofit Our America Initiative, which advocates for balanced budgets, defense cuts, drug policy reform, and improved ballot and debate access for third-party candidates. Reason's Nick Gillespie sat down with Johnson at FreedomFest, an annual gathering of libertarians and conservatives that took place between July 8-11 in Las Vegas. Approximately 18 minutes.

The Disposable Life of a 20 Year-Old Confidential Informant

Order: Reorder
Duration: 9:22
Updated: 15 Jun 2015

On June 27, 2014, the body of 20-year-old Andrew Sadek, a promising electrical student at the North Dakota State College of Science (NDSCS) in Wahpeton, North Dakota, was pulled from the Red River bordering North Dakota and Minnesota. Missing for two months, the young man was found shot in the head, wearing a backpack filled with rocks. The grisly death of a college student in one of the safest towns in the state, where violent crime is extremely rare, did not lead to a sweeping investigation. In fact, police immediately said they did not suspect foul play. Such a supposition strains credulity as it is, but what would be slowly revealed over the following months is that Andrew had been working as a confidential informant for the police, and that his school knew that authorities were busting its students and using them as bait to catch drug dealers. This is a story of overzealous prosecution of minor drug offenses by a task force answerable only to itself, callous official indifference toward a grieving family, and a lack of transparency by authorities that raises more questions than it answers. Paramount among these questions: Why are police using non-violent, first-time offenders in the very dangerous role of confidential informant? About 9.45 minutes. Written and Produced by Anthony L. Fisher. Camera by Alex Manning. Special Thanks to Jim Wareham, Ike Walker, Nicole Johnson and Bradford Arick of Valley News Live.

Why Are Pit Bulls Banned? How Media Hysteria Created Stupid Laws

Updated: 16 Mar 2015

"This idea that aggression can be traced back to specific breeds is the folklore of a criminal subculture. This is not an idea that exists in science." That's Janis Bradley, one of the country's premier experts on canine cognition, dismantling the idea at the heart of laws banning pit bulls, a dog breed that has become synonymous with violence, mayhem, and attacks on humans. Hundreds of counties, cities, and towns single out pit bulls for special attention and treatment, from outright bans on owning them to empowering law enforcement to extract dogs from non-compliant homes. But when we look past media scare stories and focus on how dogs are raised and handled, it turns out that pit bulls are not uniquely aggressive and dangerous, even as governments across the country are codifying scientifically illiterate prejudice into law.

On June 25th the Reason Foundation presented a conversation with former budget director David Stockman about his recently published New York Times bestseller, The Great Deformation, hosted by Reason Editor-in-Chief Matt Welch. In The Great Deformation, Stockman describes how Wall Street and the speculative classes have joined forces with the Federal Reserve to take the economy hostage by punishing savers, vastly inflating Main Street's living costs, and fueling new financial bubbles. At the same time, he argues, control of the federal budget has been surrendered to special interests that cling to every loophole in the tax code and block attempts at significant spending cuts. Stockman explains how this state of affairs arose over the course of the last eighty years, why this warped crony capitalism has betrayed so many of our hopes and dreams, and how we might be able to avert a looming economic crisis. This event was sponsored by the Donald and Paula Smith Family Foundation. To find out more about this event and future Reason events in New York, please email reason.nyc@reason.org About 55 minutes.

Dirty Jobs' Mike Rowe on the High Cost of College (Full Interview)

"If we are lending money that ostensibly we don't have to kids who have no hope of making it back in order to train them for jobs that clearly don't exist, I might suggest that we've gone around the bend a little bit," says TV personality Mike Rowe, best known as the longtime host of Discovery Channel's Dirty Jobs. "There is a real disconnect in the way that we educate vis-a-vis the opportunities that are available. You have - right now - about 3 million jobs that can't be filled," he says, talking about openings in traditional trades ranging from construction to welding to plumbing. "Jobs that typically parents' don't sit down with their kids and say, 'Look, if all goes well, this is what you are going to do.'" Rowe, who once sang for the Baltimore Opera and worked as an on-air pitchman for QVC, worries that traditional K-12 education demonizes blue-collar fields that pay well and are begging for workers while insisting that everyone get a college degree. He stesses that he's "got nothing against college" but believes it's a huge mistake to push everyone in the same direction regardless of interest or ability. Between Mike Rowe Foundation and Profoundly Disconnected, a venture between Rowe and the heavy equipment manufacturer Caterpillar, Rowe is hoping both to help people find new careers and publicize what he calls "the diploma dilemma." Rowe recently sat down with Reason's Nick Gillespie to discuss his bad experience with a high school guidance counselor (3:20), why he provides scholarships based on work ethic (6:57), the problem with taxpayer-supported college loans (8:40), why America demonizes dirty jobs (11:32), the happiest day of his life (13:14), why following your passion is terrible advice (17:05), why it's so hard to hire good people (21:04), the hidden cost of regulatory compliance (23:16), the problem with Obama's promise to create shovel ready jobs (33:05), efficiency versus effectiveness (34:17), and life after Dirty Jobs (38:24).

McCain told Nick Gillespie that he thinks a government shutdown over Planned Parenthood is pointless, heaped praise on outgoing House Speaker John Boehner, and said marijuana legalization should be decided at the state level. The 2008 Republican presidential candidate said the F-35 fighter plane is not just the "first trillion-dollar weapons system" but a "classic example" of a government boondoggle, that Kim Davis was wrong to keep other Rowan County clerks from issuing gay marriage licenses, and that we should not increase legal immigration.

Dying Patients vs. the FDA: 'Right to Try' Laws Give Hope - And Time

David Huntley was an Iron Man triathlete, a professor emeritus at San Diego State University, a father, and a husband. In 2013, he was diagnosed with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), more commonly known as Lou Gehrig's Disease. It's a death sentence given current science, but there are ways to combat the speed at which it progresses and the pain it causes. Before he passed away on July 4, 2015 Huntley wanted to try a promising new drug called GM604, but it hadn't been approved yet by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA). So Huntley was denied access to GM604. "How is keeping a potentially life saving drug saving my life?," said Huntley. "The decision to use an investigational drug to fight a fatal disease should be between a patient and his or her doctor." Two years ago, The Goldwater Institute, a free-market think tank based in Arizona, designed a model bill for states that would allow terminally ill patients to go around the FDA approval process. The initiative is called "right to try." So far, 23 states have adopted a version of right to try and 13 more are actively considering some form of the legislation. It's too late for Dave Huntley, but will terminally ill patients in the future have an easier time getting access to experimental drugs? About 5 minutes. Shot by Paul Detrick.

Generational Swindle: How DC is Screwing over Millennials

People "want to frame this as a generational warfare issue, but I think it really isn't," says Jared Meyer of the Manhattan Institute and co-author of Disinherited: How Washington Is Betraying America's Young. "It's Washington versus America's young—not boomers and the Silent Generation." In Disinherited, Meyer and his co-author Diana Furchtgott-Roth point blame at a wide range of government policies that threaten to leave millennials worse off than Gen Xers and previous generations. When the education system isn't failing kids in K-12, it's charging them exorbitant amounts for college degrees that confer less and less advantage. Fiscal policy, debt, and labor laws are squeezing out opportunities for go-getters and entrepreneurs. And then there's unsustainable old-age entitlements, such as Social Security and Medicare, that take money from the relatively young and poor Americans and give it to older, wealthier people. "Politicians sold a false bill," Meyer tells Reason's Nick Gillespie. "They said: 'All these programs that you are paying for now, you're going to get the money you paid in later.' But they've made promises where they give benefits now and push the cost off to the future, which means current retirees are getting far more back then what they paid in." About 6 minutes.

Pope Francis Doesn't Understand Economics & Capitalism: Judge Napolitano

“The pope is by his own words a Peronist," says Judge Andrew Napolitano, Fox News' Senior Judicial Analyst. "He is probably also a communist and a Marxist, who does believe the government ought to control and motivate the means of production and means of distribution.” As both a devout Catholic and principled libertarian, Napolitano believes Jesus Christ would reject the pope's view of economics. "The essence of libertarianism is the primacy of the individual over the state and absolute freedom of the individual to make his or her own choices," Napolitano explains. "That's also the teachings of Jesus Christ: 'I have come to set you free.'" In a conversation with Reason's Editor in Chief, Matt Welch, the Judge discusses his frustrations with Pope Francis on the eve of his first Papal visit to the United States. Napolitano takes issue with the pope's exhortations on economic issues and Catholic tradition when it comes to allowing marriage annulments and permitting priests to forgive abortion. “Speeding up annulments…is a rejection of his papal role,” says Napolitano. “He has assaulted matrimony. For him to make annulments easier is a backdoor towards permitting divorce.” For links, downloadable versions, and more videos and articles go to https://reason.com/reasontv/2015/09/20/judge-napolitano-us-pope-francis-papal Produced by Anthony L.

After three of the dumbest months in modern American political history, something kind of wonderful happened Wednesday night at the Reagan Library: Carly Fiorina took a machete to the Donald Trump balloon. By treating him more like an embarrassing if beloved house pet than a serious competitor, Fiorina, Rand Paul, and even Ben Carson put The Donald on his heels, leaving him with little more misfired put-downs and bizarro anti-vaccine riffs. For whole stretches of a time, the oxygen-hog was silent, leaving the candidates to talk about—of all things!—ideas. So that’s the good news. The bad news? Well, the ideas. Did you know that ISIS was on the verge of toppling Western Civilization? That immigration has destroyed us as a country? That the military has been cut down so brutally that the Marines can barely tie their own shoes anymore? These surreal assertions and more were treated as fact by wide swaths of the GOP field. But amid the nonsense there were glimmers of hope. Rand Paul showed some belated signs of life, pointing out accurately that if you want to go to war in Iraq again, there’s a Bush and a Clinton and 14 other candidates ready and willing. An honest-to-goodness discussion about drug policy revealed Chris Christie as the lying bully he is. Some candidates even talked about the $18 trillion debt, and unsustainable entitlements. Of all things. But the candidate who gave us the most reason to hope wasn’t Carly Fiorina, or Rand Paul, or even Ben Carson: It was Lindsey Graham. "That's the first thing I'm going to do as president," he told the crowd. "We're going to drink more!"

"Donald Trump is to me the American version of Vladimir Putin," says Jerome Tuccille, the best-selling author of the very first biography—1985's Trump—of the billionaire developer. Between his bullying rhetorical style, barely contained xenophobia, and scurrilous comments about Mexican immigrants, Tuccille says Trump "is appealing to the worst elements in our society." The author of works about the libertarian movement, Ernest and Julio Gallo's wine empire, Ernest Hemingway's politics, and much more, Tuccille's latest book is The Roughest Riders: The Untold Story of the Black Soldiers in the Spanish-American War. "When republics start to fail, as ours is, it opens the door for demagogue, a strong man. People say they want somebody new," Tuccille tells Reason's Nick Gillespie. That might explain Trump's appeal to voters, but why does The Donald want to run for president? "He needs power," says Tuccille, whose deeply researched bio on Trump hit the best-seller lists when it was released. "He's got money, he's got fame. What's left for him? Power is what's left."

The 5 Craziest Things GOP Candidates Have Said About Immigration

Order: Reorder
Duration: 3:30
Updated: 14 Sep 2015

The Republican Party lost its collective mind over immigration. To see how just unhinged things have gotten, here are the five craziest things GOP presidential candidates have said about immigration in the past few weeks. 5) Bobby Jindal: We must insist on assimilation. Immigration without assimilation is an invasion. We need to tell folks who want to come here they need to come here legally. Learn English, adopt our values, roll up your sleeves and get to work. Now, that sounds reasonable, until you start actually thinking about it for more than five seconds. Academics have studied this question in depth, and what do they find? That the United States has consistently been at or near the very top of the world in successfully assimilating immigrants, regardless of what its politicians “insist” on. Bobby Jindal ought to pay a visit to one of those immigrant suburbs in France he loves talking about, compare it to Atlantic Avenue in Brooklyn, then get back to us. 4) Chris Christie: We need to have a system that tracks you from the moment you come in, and then when your time is up, whether it's three months or six months or nine months or 12 months—however long your visa is, then we go get you and tap you on the shoulder and say, "Excuse me, thanks for coming—time to go." This idea, which began as a Newt Gingrich joke nearly a decade ago, faces a couple of practical obstacles. First, human beings are not packages. Second, the Supreme Court recently ruled that law enforcement can’t track human beings without a warrant. Third, visa policies are reciprocal, which means what we do to foreigners, foreigners will to do Americans when we visit their countries. And finally, what Chris Christie is describing is a police state. 3) Scott Walker: Some people have asked me [about building a border wall with Canada]. They've raised some legitimate concerns, including some law enforcement folks, that brought that up to me at one of our town hall meetings about a week and a half ago. So that is a legitimate issue for us to look at. Like a lot of Walker statements this campaign, he has since semi-walked this back. But he’s not the only candidate contemplating the ridiculous. 2) Ben Carson: We need to seal our borders—but not just the southern border, the northern border, the Pacific border, the Atlantic border, every border. Let's say this slow enough so that even an internationally renowned neurosurgeon understands it. You cannot "seal" the border! It can’t be done. You could build a hundred-foot-tall fence along our 7,500 miles of land frontier, and some kind of force field along the coasts, and that would still do nothing about the 40 percent of illegal immigrants who came to this country legally. People from 38 countries can travel to the U.S. without a visa. To truly “seal” the border would require massive disruptions in international travel, mobility, and trade. 1) Donald Trump: We're going to keep the families together. We have to keep the families together.... But they have to go. But they have to go.... They have to go. We either have a country or we don't have a country. Let’s be clear here: The GOP frontrunner is talking about deporting American citizens. The they he is talking about are children born here. We haven’t seen an idea this repulsive since World War II, when FDR forcibly relocated Japanese-Americans into internment camps. If that’s the path Republicans want to go down, they’re going to have to learn to love the immigration policies of President Hillary Clinton. Written and hosted by Matt Welch. Produced by Anthony L.

How Much is A College Football Player Worth?

Updated: 11 Sep 2015

Hint: A lot more than the NCAA wants to admit. Subscribe: http://www.goo.gl/NqjoWI College football has returned to the airwaves and with it the debate over paying student-athletes. Though the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) brought in nearly $1 billion dollars in revenue last year, the organization continues to resist compensating student-athletes because they argue it would undermine the ideals of amateurism. But "the term 'student athlete' is actually a fiction," says Ellen Staurowsky, a sport management professor at Drexel University. "It was created to obscure the fact that the NCAA knew that it had created a pay-for-play system." Staurowsky argues that the NCAA’s construct of amateurism changes to fit the needs of the organization. "The NCAA has three different divisions and there are different definitions of amateurism for each one," she says. Public opinion seems to be shifting in favor of a pay-for-play system. A 2014 Reason-Rupe poll found that 64 percent of Americans think student-atheletes should receive money if a college or company sells gear containing their likeness or jersey number. And 50 percent of Americans said college basketball players should get some of the $700 million in television rights revenue from the NCAA March Madness tournament. "Higher education is the sponsor of this enormous entertainment industry and it’s building that industry on the backs of an unrecognized labor force," says Staurowsky. But if we are going to consider paying student-athletes, how do we determine their worth in a fair market? Staurowsky, along with Ramogi Huma—a former football player at UCLA and president of the National College Players Association—looked to the pros for a model. "There was no real discussion about what the potential market value of a college football and men’s basketball player might be," says Staurowsky. "It seemed reasonable that we would go to the professional associations where there’s a revenue sharing mechanism in place. So we looked at the NFL and we looked at the NBA to begin to have a starting point." By looking at those models and considering the NCAA’s new rule-change allowing student athletes to receive a scholarship covering the full cost of attendance, Staurowsky estimates that collegiate football players’ worth is in the neighborhood of $110,000 a year across all schools. "If we begin to really look at the expanse of money that is out there, the question isn’t so much whether or not the industry can afford to pay athletes," Staurowsky says. "It’s just a matter of when there will be a recognition of the vast of amount of profit that is being generated in all of these other sectors and for people to understand that there really is money out there to do it." While the NCAA may have the money to pay its student-athletes, however, it has been slow to make any meaningful changes. This inaction has led to a multitude of lawsuits that threaten the power structure of the organization, along with the Northwestern University football program’s historic bid to unionize. Though the National Labor Relations Board rejected Northwestern’s union bid in mid-August, the threat of unionization pushed the NCAA to make major policy reforms to raise scholarships to cover the full cost of attendance. Staurosky admits there can be issues with unionization, but she says it is important to put an outside group in place that can advocate on behalf of student-athletes. "We know that this is a starting point in the conversation," says Staurowsky. "But we also know that our estimate is far more representative of the kind of inequities that exist in the system than simply just accepting that the scholarship is the only measure."

Jeff Mizanskey Served 21 Years for Non-Violent Drug Crimes. Watch Him Walk Free.

Duration: 3:32
Updated: 08 Sep 2015

In 1996, Jeff Mizanskey was a dead man, sentenced to life without the possibility of parole because of three felony convictions. All were for non-violent, marijuana-related offenses. Mizanskey’s three strikes included selling a small amount of pot to a relative, possessing less than three ounces in his home, and driving a friend to a motel to buy pot from an undercover officer. That’s it. No guns, no sales to children. For those offenses, he got a life sentence. But thanks to the efforts of his lawyer, Dan Viets, as well as the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) and the Missouri drug reform group Show-Me Cannabis, Gov. Jay Nixon commuted Mizanskey’s sentence, which allowed him to win parole. Last week, Mizanskey walked out of prison, a free man for the first time in 21 years. Reason TV was on hand to cover the press conference outside the Jefferson County Correctional Center, where Mizanskey spoke of his imprisonment as "cruel and unusal," and lamented that he spent a third of his life behind bars while watching child molesters "come and go and come again and go." Viets said that no adult should spend even one day in jail for growing marijuana or selling marijuana to other adults. Show-Me Cannabis co-founder Travis Maurer said Mizanskey's story "embodies the moral failure of the drug war...that ruins lives, fails to keep people safe, enriches cartels and costs taxpayers money." Mizanskey ended the press conference by saying "I'd like to go get some steak and eggs," which he did, surrounded by joyous family members and supporters at a nearby diner shortly thereafter. Jeff Mizanskey admits he made mistakes, but three non-violent marijuana arrests robbed him of a third of his life because Missouri’s "prior and persistent offender statute" removed all sentencing discretion from judges. The law that essentially ended Mizanskey’s life has been repealed, effective next January. The reform came in large part because Mizanskey’s case demonstrated the inhumanity of one-size-fits-all mandatory minimum sentencing rules passed at the peak of drug war hysteria. According to the ACLU, more than 3,200 people in the United States continue to serve life sentences without parole for non-violent offenses. Seventy-nine percent of these are for drug-related crimes, including marijuana. For his part, Mizanskey says he’s looking forward to being with his family, getting back to work, and devoting the rest of his life to helping people avoid the same nightmare that was his existence just a few days ago.

CA's Top 2 Primary System Led to Single-Party General Elections. They're More Competitive Than Ever.

Updated: 03 Sep 2015

"Those old elections, where you had a Republican who's always going to win because a Republican district versus a sacrificial lamb Democrat, you might feel a little better for five seconds as you check the box for 'sacrificial lamb Democrat,'" says Jason Olson, director of IndependentVoice.org and co-author of the a new study on California's "Top Two" primary system. "But you didn't really have any power." California's Top Two primary system went into effect in 2012 after voters passed a ballot initiative approving the changes to the state's primary system. Now, primaries are "open," meaning that anyone can vote for any candidate regardless of party affiliation, and the top two vote-getters compete in the general election. As a result, California voters have often found themselves facing a choice between two Democrats or two Republicans in the general election. Olson argues that this outcome has actually forced more competitiveness into the system, as candidates now must work harder to appeal to voters outside their core constituency in the general election. His study found that in terms of both margin of victory and incumbency turnover, California went from one of the least competitive to one of the most since the enactment of Top Two. Olson talked with Reason TV's Zach Weissmueller about the pros and cons of Top Two, its potential effects on third-party voters, independents and libertarians, and gave examples of how the system has shaken up otherwise predictable races across California.

Nestled on a strip of unclaimed land between Croatia and Serbia, Liberland currently exists as a marshy, mosquito-plagued spit of land in the Danube River that has attracted the ire of its neighboring countries. Jedlicka seeks to create an autonomous nation capable of exisiting with the minimum amount of government authority possible.

Walter Williams: Up From the Projects

Order: Reorder
Duration: 28:50
Updated: 22 Mar 2011

In 1981, Secretary of Health Education and Welfare Patricia Harris wrote in the Washington Post that libertarian economists Walter Williams and Thomas Sowell are "middle class" so they "don't know what it is to be poor." In fact, Williams grew up in a single-parent household in a poor section of Philadelphia. He was raised by his mother, who was a high school dropout. The family spent time on welfare, and eventually moved into the Richard Allen public housing project. (Sowell, whose father died before he was born, was the son of a maid.) Drafted into the peacetime Army, Williams eventually earned a PhD from UCLA in the late 1960s and quickly became a sought-after researcher and public intellectual. His best known book, 1982's The State Against Blacks, argues that a major cause of black unemployment is government intervention in the labor market. Williams' contrarian views have had wide exposure through documentaries, public appearances, and for the past 30 years, a syndicated weekly column. Since 1992, Williams has also been a frequent guest host of Rush Limbaugh's radio show. Now a professor emeritus at George Mason University, Williams has taught at Temple University, California State University-Los Angeles, and other universities. (Go here for his personal web page.) His new book, Up from the Projects: An Autobiography, is a fascinating look at his childhood, his half-century-long marriage to his recently departed wife, his unusual career path, and the genesis of his views on race, economics, and politics. Throughout his career, Williams has used his own life to illustrate how government regulations often work to deny opportunities to poor blacks, and his memoir is no exception. For example, Williams recounts that when he was a teenager, he was fired from a great job at a hat factory when a fellow employee complained to the Department of Labor that his boss was violating child labor laws. Reason.tv's Nick Gillespie recently sat down with Williams to talk about his life, how his experiences have informed his scholarship, his lead role in turning George Mason University into a center for libertarian scholarship, and whether the Obama presidency has improved the lives of blacks in the United States. Williams is also an emeritus trustee of the Reason Foundation, the nonprofit that produces Reason.tv. For more on Williams' new memoir, check out Damon Root's review (http://reason.com/archives/2011/01/28/man-versus-the-state), which calls the book "a revealing and sometimes hilarious account of his rise from Philadelphia's Richard Allen housing projects, where his neighbors included a young Bill Cosby, to 'brown bag' lunches at the White House where he gave advice to President Ronald Reagan and his staff." Produced, shot, and edited by Jim Epstein. Additional camera: Joshua Swain. Approximately 30 minutes.

Mitch Daniels on How to Cut Government & Improve Services

Order: Reorder
Duration: 30:51
Updated: 19 May 2015

Former Indiana Gov. Mitch Daniels served in office from 2005 to 2013 and in eight short years accomplished more than most politicians manage in a lifetime. He turned deficits into surpluses, ended public-sector collective bargaining, reduced the state work force by 18 percent while improving services, and leased the money-losing Indiana Toll Road for an upfront payment of nearly $4 billion, which allowed the Hoosier State to weather Great Recession in relative comfort. Currently president of Purdue University, he has managed to freeze tuition while other public and private universities routinely increase annual costs by double digits. In May, Daniels became the first recipient of the Reason Foundation’s annual Savas Award for Public-Private Partnerships, which is awarded to policymakers with outstanding legacies of improving the delivery and effectiveness of services while reducing the cost and scope of government. Reason magazine Editor in Chief Matt Welch interviewed Daniels in New York City shortly before the award was presented. Among the topics covered: How Daniels cut the public-sector work force in Indiana and ended collective bargaining without much controversy; the surprising, bipartisan pushback on leasing the Indiana Toll Road; his challenges and plans for Purdue, including an ongoing tuition freeze; runaway spending by Republicans during the Bush years; the need for old-age entitlement reform and reduction in national debt; and more. About 30 minutes. Go to http://reason.com/reasontv/2015/05/19/mitch-daniels for a full transcript of the interview, downloadable versions, links to related resources, and more.

Peter Schiff at Occupy Wall Street: Full Version, Almost 2 Hours Long!

Updated: 29 Nov 2011

NOTE: REASON.TV ORIGINALLY RELEASED A VERSION OF THIS MOSTLY UNCUT VIDEO A FEW WEEKS AGO BUT DUE TO ERRORS ON OUR PART, WE HAD TO TAKE THE VIDEO DOWN AND RE-EDIT FOR AUDIO AND CLARITY. Back by popular demand, it's Peter Schiff at Occupy Wall Street. And this time, he's uncut, unfiltered, and unleashed! Last week, Reason.tv released an 18-minute video of investment guru, radio show host, and unflappable defender of capitalism Peter Schiff as he spent three hours among the Occupy Wall Street protesters in Manhattan's Zuccotti Park. ( http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UGL-Ex1CD1c ) Standing next to a sign reading "I Am The 1%, Let's Talk," Schiff debated, argued, and occasionally found common ground with the Occupiers. In response to the overwhelming demand for more Schiff at OWS, we're happy to release all the audible footage we've got - almost two hours worth. Beyond his ability to answer all questions, the most amazing thing is how Schiff wins the hearts and minds of many Occupy diehards by explaining the differences between cronyism and capitalism, the need for sound money, and why the government can't be trusted to regulate the very banks it bailed out.

The Tea Party Goes to Washington: Rand Paul on the intellectual bankruptcy of both major parties

Order: Reorder
Duration: 23:19
Updated: 16 Mar 2011

Rand Paul (R-Ky.) took an unusual path to his seat in the United States Senate: Though his father, the libertarian Rep. Ron Paul (R-Texas) has spent decades in office, Rand Paul had never previously held public office before winning in 2010. Throughout his campaign, Paul fils identified more with the Tea Party than with the Republican Party, and he ran against the hand-picked candidate of one of the most powerful Republicans in America, Sen. Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.). After trouncing both his primary challenger and the Democratic nominee, Paul did not mention the GOP once in his victory speech last November, saying instead, "Tonight, there's a Tea Party tidal wave." Since entering office, the freshman senator has quickly proven himself to be the most interesting and radical voice on Capitol Hill, proposing immediate budget cuts 500 percent steeper than anything else Republicans have contemplated, speaking eloquently against the PATRIOT Act and runaway defense spending, and going bonkers against nanny-state regulations in the home. He's even taken on the sainted 19th-century Kentucky statesman Henry Clay ("the Great Compromiser") in a speech that caused McConnell to leave the room. And this all happened just in Paul's first two months in office. Now the freshman senator has a new book out, The Tea Party Goes to Washington, that discusses his political journey, the intellectual bankruptcy of both major parties, and the urgency of our clear and present fiscal crisis. Reason's Matt Welch and Nick Gillespie interviewed Sen. Paul in his temporary Senate office in March 2011. Interview produced by Meredith Bragg with Josh Swain and Austin Bragg.

Glenn Greenwald's Plan to Poke, Prod, and Piss Off the Powerful

Order: Reorder
Duration: 42:02
Updated: 03 Feb 2015

Glenn Greenwald is a lawyer who has lost all interest in making legal arguments. The reason for his indifference should terrify anyone who believes that the law, and not arbitrary decision-making by government officials, should govern a nation. Asked whether NSA mass surveillance is legal under any conceivable interpretation of United States law, Greenwald told ReasonTV: "I think it’s important to understand, when we talk about what’s legal, is the extent to which our institutions that determine legality have been completely co-opted, either by the other branches of government, or just by the post 9/11 fearmongering and hysteria that have subsumed federal judges as much as they have everybody else – if not more so." Greenwald's experience in uncovering our national secrets – from deep within our security apparatus to the FISA courts – has taught him that sometimes the law doesn't matter. When the government is determined to act outside of its constitutional restraints, justifications will be made, legal memoranda will be written, in order that the outcome will be determined by a contest of institutional power. Reason TV traveled to McGill University in Montréal to present Glenn Greenwald with Reason Foundation's 2014 Lanny Friedlander Prize. The prize honors media entrepreneurs who expand human freedom by increasing our ability to express ourselves, engage in debate, and generate new ways of understanding the power of "free minds and free markets." In this case, Greenwald has earned the honors for standing up for some of the bedrock principles that have been neglected in an age of national security and mass surveillance. Since breaking the story of NSA abuses, he has championed whistleblowers, and schooled establishment journalists in the meaning of the first amendment. He also won the Pulitzer Prize for Public Service. Today he's a subject of Citizenfour, an Academy Award nominated documentary about Edward Snowden. Greenwald has not only broken the biggest news story in a generation, he’s following it up by co-founding The Intercept, a new magazine that aims to shake up American journalism. Runs about 42 minutes. Produced and hosted by Todd Krainin. Camera by Jim Epstein and Josh Swain. CONTENTS 1:20 - ACCOUNTABILITY. Will anyone be held responsible for the mass violation of Internet privacy? 5:49 - LEGALITY. Is blanket NSA surveillance legal under any possible interpretation of the law? 8:59 - THE INTERCEPT. What's Greenwald's new publication all about? 11:18 - JOURNALISM. Objective vs. subjective; the democratizing power of the Internet; Should journalism be backed by billionaires? 22:19 - INSIDERS vs. OUTSIDERS. How the establishment uses shame to maintain the status quo. 27:30 - ADVERSARIAL JOURNALISM. The virtues of excessive criticism. 31:08 - TYRANNY. The changing views of government in light of NSA surveillance. 33:27 - POLITICAL REACTION. Hypocrisy on the Left, mixed reaction on the Right. 36:03 - POLITICAL ACTION. Is politics the best means for reform? 38:12 - REASON MEDIA AWARDS. Reaction to winning the 2014 Lanny Friedlander Prize. 40:16 - THE LIBERTARIAN/PROGRESSIVE COALITION. The new political paradigm.

Bitcoin: Great Libertarian Hope or Co-opted By Wall Street?

Order: Reorder
Duration: 23:41
Updated: 18 Aug 2015

"People were telling the libertarians to shut up," says New York Times reporter Nathaniel Popper, "but they were the only ones willing to put their money on the line and keep Bitcoin alive." Popper's new book, Digital Gold: Bitcoin and the Inside Story of the Misfits and Millionaires Trying to Reinvent Money, tells the story of how the "cryptocurrency" went from an idea sketched out by an anonymous programmer in a nine-page whitepaper in the summer of 2008 to a global phenomenon with multi-million-dollar investments staked on its potential. Some believe Bitcoin will be as transformative as the Internet itself while others—including many governments and traditional investors and analysts—see it as a threat or scam that should be shutdown or heavily regulated. Reason TV's Nick Gillespie sat down with Popper to talk about rise of Bitcoin and its underlying blockchain technology, which advocates say has virtually unlimited application. The topics they covered include: How radical libertarians championed Bitcoin and kept the technology alive when nobody else was paying attention (2:50); how libertarians clashed with another faction of early Bitcoin champions, who worried that ideological posturing could hurt its chances of wide adoption (5:27); whether Wall Street banks, the very firms Bitcoin was meant to route around, has co-opted this technology (7:27); how Bitcoin is being used as currency in Argentina (10:57); the evidence that convicted Silk Road founder Ross Ulbricht engaged in murder-for-hire (13:52); the startup OpenBazaar and the ongoing decentralization of commerce (16:30); whether Bitcoin is truly here to stay.
