the danger with Libertarians taking to the streets
0:05
they all just had done those book stories all right
0:14
got them quiet anyway Robert Bell
0:20
is an interest plan of 25 years with his bachelor's in chemistry and Masters in
0:26
Business Administration Robert has worked and managed in pharmaceutical and blood bank Industries
0:32
is vision for the governor's office is one where common sense and libertarian dominance outweighs the current
0:38
environment of political AIDS and cronyism
0:47
born in Beaufort Georgia Blue Collar family Kathy was the first
0:53
person in her family to go to college and worked her way through college and law school on 777 she came to Texas and
1:01
the next year joined the libertarian party of Texas where she met Tom glass going to their first date at the
1:06
national LP conference in Denver um
1:16
candidate starlock and Robert Garrett did not submit biased us so we will give
1:21
you 15 additional seconds as part of your opening statement to introduce yourselves is that is that okay with any
1:28
other candidates all right so let's uh we'll start here let's go in alphabetical order by last
1:34
name for the first question I will start with Mr Bell if you could your three-minute opening statement
1:41
hello everybody I'm Robert Bell and I'm running for governor because I see a need
1:47
looking at my options last October I saw Noah candidate who represented me my
1:52
family my friends nor my community when I turned to the party that I've been voting for for the past five years
1:58
I saw a meet at the time there were only two candidates for the libertarian party and
2:04
I saw no connections between myself and what those two candidates represent so I saw a meet
2:12
after traveling and talking with many of Texans talking with other candidates and listening to their views I continues
2:21
some believe that our order needs to be militarized to be made more secure but I do not believe with that position
2:32
I believe that people who are in need and who want to come to the country the land of free
2:37
should not be first met with guns fences or barbed wire
2:45
we're out there feel the same scientific so I see a need some believe that gay couple should be
2:51
notified the right to marry or to be able to adopt children that government should mandate our
2:57
personal life choices I do not agree with that position
3:04
you know I believe that a loving relationship and
3:09
a caring household are good things and that marriage is a right amongst consenting
3:15
I know many of you out there feel the same as I do so I see a need
3:20
I refuse to make exaggerated claims such as being able to slash the state budget 50 just to lure you and other voters
3:28
into our cause I believe in honesty and integrity
3:33
I know many of you out there feel the same as I do questions
3:40
I'm not afraid to prioritize the advocacy for a change in laws regarding marijuana legalization
3:46
it's not an issue that politicians can ignore simply because it makes them uncomfortable I believe in personal freedom and
3:53
responsibility I know many of you out there feel the same as I do
3:58
so I see a need we've all heard the views of candidates on the campaign Trail it is the
4:05
responsibility of our governor to speak out for those who lived who want to live their lives freely
4:10
it was the responsibility of our governor to protect our individual living
4:15
rooms if there is one voice crying out to live their life freely then I say that it is our top priority
4:21
to fight for liberty in Texas for that voice
4:34
Mr Garrett okay um I'm Ron my name is Robert Enron and I am
4:41
running for governor is because that just like he said there
4:46
is a need there is need so great that this country has never ever experienced what we're
4:53
going through right now in this country one of the things that
4:58
that I'm running for is living freedoms be able to do choose
5:06
whatever we want to do we have problems yes
5:11
but there's nothing wrong with rolling overseas and working towards to fix those problems
5:23
as a governor of Texas I want to be to be found
5:29
and I'm willing to do that to see that our rights are protected
5:34
to see that not only our needs are available toward us do us to utilize
5:43
them but we have the freedom to do it ever since Obama had become president of
5:49
the United States this country has gone downhill tremendously we all know the true reasons why he was
5:55
elected president and there's no other reason for it but yet because of him
6:02
we have been betrayed by our own Representatives the time has come to replace its
6:07
Representatives that's why we're all up here right now
6:13
we want to be your representative you're going to vote for one of us to be the Governor State Attorney
6:21
General and so on Down the Line also today you're going to be voting for
6:27
the people who's going to represent us as a senator and in the representatives
6:32
as a representative I believe there's no greater honor
6:38
in order to attendance than to run and be a
6:43
representative of other people and for the people
6:50
one of the problems that we face right now is our education department
6:56
in Texas they're teaching our kids to be done down
7:02
this needs to be changed it needs to be turned off and replace to those activations
7:08
as Governor that's what I'm going to try to do as governor also I'm going to tell the
7:15
federal government to get out of our business
7:24
because if we accept that money then we come to debt we have to do what they
7:30
tell us to do and no more that's going to stop
7:35
we will have a hard road to travel there's going to be a lot of bumps a lot
7:41
of dips who's going to fall but we'll pick out some of those up dust ourselves off
7:47
thank you thank you
7:54
anyways I won't be a reputatorial nominees and your desk because I
8:01
because I'm our Liberty and our country and our constitution done right before our conference and we've got to do
8:06
sovereign which can easily descend into an actual
8:13
police say if we're not always there I see this is a threat that threatens each and every one of us but we've got to
8:21
wake up what we can do to fight against it in order to practice this Federal time
8:27
we need something with the help that connects the state of Texas has to push
8:32
back on these unconstitutional Act civilian police say but we've got the help of our government
8:37
the Right leader that is fine waiting for government that's why I want to be God now if I'm not able to be Governor
8:45
what I want to do is at least be a nominee and go to the State of Texas as I've been doing for pretty much the past
8:50
four years what can people love to what can happen if we let America become a
8:55
police state all the things that that you may hold dear it won't matter that much what your
9:01
position is it's a very important issues because of the police say you're told what you can do what you can say what
9:09
you can think now if you see things this way then I think you get me you get why I'm doing
9:16
this you know why I'm prioritizing things you know when I say we've got to work together
9:22
to beat that this monster if you don't say things the way I do if you don't think our country has a
9:28
Constitution under attack or you do you think it's a good thing and there are some people like that in our party then
9:35
you don't get what I mean what I say will not make sense to you you give yourself a lot less to you any
9:41
hysterical and you won't believe that but I'll say why I'm doing this you won't accept that as my motivation
9:48
and you'll come up with your own motives for why I'm doing what I'm doing and they'll probably be here together
9:54
but this is why I'm doing this this is why I want to be Governor this is how I want you to look for another day
10:01
because Washington is broken we know that the 240 system is corrupt we know
10:07
that but there's time to come today but watch this not just broken but totally collapsed and we're going to know what
10:14
we're going to do when that day comes I have a plan for Texas Independence not secession
10:20
it's a way text can stand on our own two feet just as we should have been doing all along and whether to start when this
10:26
collapse comes we will not go down with it we won't we worship God now let me
10:31
just give you an example of how classes thinking become if only you can have the right people to throw a candidate
10:37
I've been born by a delegate to this convention that recently at Camp Mabry there was a meeting with the Washington
10:44
generals and Colonels and also city council and the mayor and they said that when a June 1st our Texas State Park a
10:52
National Guard was going to be no longer be with according to the Department of
10:57
Defense or the Army but was going to be the sign to the Department of Homeland
11:03
Security they make questions social media questions about where they comply with orders to the compensate guns
11:09
that's the threat that's where we got to ask thank you
11:18
for our money I guess I probably owe this country this
11:26
nation more than anyone in this room I've spent most of my life traveling
11:34
around the world luckily as a dependent son of an army officer
11:40
I lived three years in Japan I've lived in Germany I gradually High School in
11:45
Paris France and fortunate I live in Mexico
11:52
I bring a unique viewpoint to this race
11:59
I bring an international flavor to it with a military coloring
12:06
fortunate enough to play football the University of Oklahoma and one of the greatest coaches who ever lived
12:12
Charleston Wilkinson the longest winning streak in the history of Collegiate football and tied
12:19
in 1927 games straight and he told me this he said that sacrifice
12:27
builds discipline and discipline builds character and character kills champions
12:36
what we need right now is a champion and I learned to know you that it's a
12:42
team sport get by a word fortunate enough to
12:48
receive your nomination I look at it more as a service
12:55
I would never want to rule this thing what I want to do is show you some things that I think I've learned over if
13:02
you pass the past few years and see if you agree with them if you don't will change the program
13:08
a couple of the programs are the first one that I passed at the uh
13:14
state government s the state agnostic Imaging but the
13:19
County Convention the precinct convention and the uh district convention was to build a Texas
13:26
army we need jobs in Texas I'm going to present you the reason on
13:32
the border what what I think has to happen I need 500 000 men from the Texas
13:38
guard I'm also proposing to bring water from Mississippi down to the Red River in
13:46
Beloved and South and I'll demonstrate that here in a little bit on my on my
13:53
topographic maps so I appreciate you all listening to me and we'll hear more from
13:59
you thank you very much
14:08
I'll ask the first question and we'll start going this way to Mr Garrett and work our way back each time and each of
14:15
you will automate any of the questions first so this is going to go to Robert Garrett and the question is this was
14:21
asked in the agricultural race itself what are your thoughts on the lending Ranch situation in Nevada where the
14:28
Federal Bureau of Land and management is preventing a Rancher from using public lands owned by the state or crazy
14:36
uh I'm I'm very much aware of what's going on up there and right now uh I've
14:43
downloaded one of the emails that I get from Watchdog room and right now it's
14:48
getting pretty hairy up there um people are supporting uh this money
14:54
up there and there are malicious on their way up there to help them however
14:59
one of the problems that it is that uh okay
15:08
um they they think that they uh that they could just come and take the land when it's not their land uh he's had
15:16
that land since 1880 and he's been using it to Grace his cattle uh you know kind of down through
15:23
generation to generation what they have done now uh they have
15:29
they're they're on the borderline that something is going to happen and I'm afraid that somebody's gonna
15:36
loosen their fingers around is going to go off and somebody's going to get hurt
15:45
um there what the BLM is doing is illegal it's unconstitutional we need to
15:51
get rid of it does it belong in the constitution does belong in the existence in America
15:57
and we need to restore the property rights of our American citizens
16:05
if we don't then what is use of having America owning property and protecting our
16:12
property rights is not giving right it was given to us by God as an unavailable right it was recognized by
16:18
the founding fathers but yet our government wants to take that right away
16:24
well the point is we need to start standing up and face the government part of that is that we're going to need
16:30
to deal with our guns they won't listen to us they have already betrayed us
16:36
and the only thing I see now is that we go up there with our guns and we show force and we're not afraid to use it
16:43
they have already shown their Force they use the taser guns but they had to use their uh sidearms yet
16:50
it's just a matter of time before they do so are several people up there have been tased
16:56
the dogs have been stepped on and we need to stop this right now
17:02
before in that space because it's going to happen here and it's already happening here thank you
17:22
but I think you can also safely that this is a problem that arises from in
17:27
collectivism when there is that not right that's property ownership of land the federal government I don't know how
17:33
much of the law 70 or 80 percent of it that's wrong when a medical social security days of like decorating lessons
17:40
that's how we should solve Social Security we should catalog everything but all government owns that says it uh
17:46
itemize it to the highest bidder and then pay on the people who have legitimate claim to Social Security and
17:52
then shut that thing down and it's all local problems all at one but
18:16
I don't know why some of these things pop up when they do sometimes I think about
18:21
those I want to test us or to condition us into accepting just doing what we're
18:27
told I think there's a lot of debt going on but maybe instant pot told you about before that's here that's coming I don't
18:33
think they're telling our soldiers asking them will you come by this order of the state cards and putting the
18:40
procedures in their manuals for no reason we're going to be tested and our
18:45
guns with the Line in the Sand that we cannot give up you may be able to give up some righteous appropriate I hope to
18:51
win the bag but you give up your guns and you'll never get that back and you get every right over right or go with it
18:58
because you can't protect it
19:04
thank you singing we were going to talk more about
19:10
Texas in the board meeting could I how much time do I have to answer this 90
19:15
seconds well actually I just want to say I accidentally gave everybody an extra minute for this one but we already said
19:20
the 90 seconds okay let me change the subject a little bit I
19:26
two two and a half years ago I moved to New Mexico put boots on the ground and
19:32
set up a ranch on the other side of the border so I could figure out what was going on inside
19:42
you're not realizing many of my friends over there were being murdered and killed every day
19:50
people are dying daily over 20 000 people have died and those are the only ones who the
19:57
bodies have been found recently three weeks ago across from Eagle Pass the
20:02
others and this lady here who is like a the queen of physical activity or the
20:10
TVs over there the cartels got it her because she wouldn't pay the
20:16
pituities that she needed they found her three days later murdered 17 staff
20:24
this is what's going on in Mexico and my friends over there some of them
20:30
have disappeared and this is why I asked for this job so I can build this Texas
20:38
guard as everyone mentioned a moment ago the federal Governor's not government is not going
20:45
to do it I have already joined the Texas guard every one of you can join if you want to it's free it's a volunteer
20:52
organization fact you have been assigned to a physician or a post yet
20:57
but I've I've joined two weeks ago one of the members of this of this group
21:03
actually told me that that was possible I checked it out it is true so we'll talk more about that in a minute
21:12
and thank you Mr belly
21:20
um I would say that this was a situation
21:26
that's been going on for I guess from what I've read 20 years has had a conflict with
21:32
federal government and basically leasing a land now they're
21:39
definitely showing a non-net attitude when it comes to you
21:45
know seizing his property over these funds and it definitely shows a breakdown in our government and his
21:52
local government at that should have been able to intervene on his behalf and act as a sort of
22:00
negotiator between him and the federal government so it doesn't escalate to how
22:05
it is now all right thank you
22:15
this question goes to Patsy Labs first and what should be done at the state
22:21
level about the fusion centers operated by the federal government does the federal support for abusion centers and
22:27
even suspicious activity make any sense what can be done to mitigate the risks they close to civil liberties to prevent
22:33
waste and improve oversight oh it makes sense all right if you're Federal time from there point in time but they should
22:41
have nullified these things are unconstitutional unconstitutional Federal Acts number 180 in this Governor's race
22:47
who will lead to charge to mollify these other constitutional actions the fusion
22:53
centers is a is a form of terrorism itself it's not a response to terrorism and there's just no justification for it
23:00
so yes with we had another fine governor and another fact attorney general we
23:05
could stop that because it's not constitutional and if it violates Texas law this is the essence of nullification
23:11
you don't need to over uh complicate it too much it's just from the non-constitutional advocacy done in the
23:17
state of Texas we any one of the number of mechanisms can just say that's unconstitutional we're not going to
23:24
participate in it our local law enforcement is not going to participate in this and that is a violates their
23:30
visual pressure back in Texas city code they should be prosecuted for their party is supposed
23:48
and it doesn't matter if you were paid by the federal government or doing this
23:53
unconstitutional involvement in their heads
24:00
all right I'd like to pass the question please
24:07
okay Mr battle um
24:12
I totally believe that Texas has the ability to self-regulate their functions matters um
24:19
we don't need Federal oversight on this sexist has plenty of people that are
24:26
knowledgeable and know how to take care of it so I do believe that I pushed Jack
24:32
In this case and be able to just right now saying Texas can take care of their own
24:45
okay I'll try to answer that one um if I can I'll just say that's it I can't
24:50
do anything um I kind of agree with Kathy what's going
24:55
on with this is that and involved here is that we need to get Federal control
25:01
out of our business out of our state one of my uh issues that I'm going to do as governor
25:08
is that we're going to get Government Federal Government out of our state we can handle our own problems we don't
25:15
need the assistance of the federal government government does not know what's best for us they think they do
25:21
but they don't so as a result of this basically we know everybody and as a
25:28
governor I'm going to instruct the legislature to come up with a bill that will notify slash compliance what this
25:36
means is that any federal law that the government passes federal government passes the state of Texas will look at
25:42
it first it will automatically be nullified we look over it we critique it we talk over
25:48
it we debate it and uh and it does not violate the
25:53
constitution or the citizens rights even by its very Spirit then we'll follow it we'll comply it but if it does it's
26:00
notified automatically then we will not obey it
26:06
what I believe that we need to do and as far as once it's be arrested go to jail
26:11
let Obama correctional officer officer John and I would love to see Obama and his cronies in there we talk
26:18
about it all the time that's Christmas expansion
26:24
hey this question will start with star a lot and what are your stances on order
26:30
protection and immigration fine human thank you
26:36
people who are crossing that border are refugees
26:45
two weeks ago in Houston Texas over a hundred human beings were found
26:53
lot in a safe house over there with 600
26:59
chickens what I'm trying to tell everybody is there are routes and Roads roads into
27:07
this state right now by not only the drug cartel but by slave Traders and
27:12
these people are slave Traders and they're all over Texas
27:18
I had two employees of mine part-time employees who have worked on roofs
27:25
before get picked up by the border patrol of seven days later they're back
27:33
in the valley it costs six hundred dollars to get back
27:38
across this border everybody knows it the police over there are involved in it
27:44
they're corrupted to the Core the government is corrupt to the core three weeks ago the government sold the
27:50
propane business to the cartel and losing charge of Mexico these are
27:58
pictures of federal troops Mexican troops can you imagine a
28:04
U.S troop in this country wearing a mask thank you that he's going to be his
28:10
family is going to be billed thank you
28:22
as I said in my opening statement I'm all for uh these are the parties of immigration I
28:28
mean coming in more open borders if you will um I agree with the Brewster county sheriff Dodson and that it drains
28:36
resources one of the causes and makes people feel insecure that politicians need to stop talking about the border
28:43
and focus more but inside of Texas and take care of their people
29:00
thanks Robert Carrick
29:05
one of the issues of immigration I believe is that just like what star said is that I've
29:12
got some refugees coming over here to get away from tyranny they're coming over here for a better life they know
29:19
what's over here what to expect and there's nothing wrong with helping them
29:24
they're trying to get away from uh socialized
29:31
tyranny whatever you want to call it the threat of death of themselves and
29:37
their family we need to help these people and as far as as
29:43
determine how this is going to be done we need to set up some type of program I
29:48
don't know how we know you can talk to work the problems out
29:55
one of the issues could somebody said is that were the ones that are in here now through across the border they've been
30:01
here for seven years or more let's go ahead and get work visas and let them do some work for us the snow unit here can
30:09
do some work for those who are under seven years let's go ahead and round them up and then we process them and
30:15
send them back um I know I know but
30:21
we need we need to we need to put our foot down somewhere we need to
30:26
do something but in order to do this we have to we have
30:31
to set some bills we have to make some hard decisions thank you
30:37
um this is far as a complicated question to
30:43
answer in 90 seconds sorry longer than that I'll do the best I can we need to separate immigration from
30:49
order security they're related but they have two separate things and you can solve but maybe you do that much more
30:55
easier towards immigration we should have a welcome and operation policy that takes us press immigration is not
31:00
federal function it's not the Constitution nationalization is we used to have it offices down on the Texas
31:05
Board I've seen pictures of them from the 50s and we should Factor on the workbook role for Horizons receive help
31:12
address check it all checks out you come in and then you're done I wouldn't put any quotas or limits on here put on
31:19
there and you can have some other programs for people who come here other than or work or health care or school or
31:25
whatever but take care of that once you do that and the Texas people is fine with this they they were okay with this
31:33
and but if you do that okay the problems on the border dramatically deep things
31:38
you take the pressure of it there's no reason to jump the water if you're an honest person coming here to be peaceful
31:45
and then we can treat the waterfall as just a trespass under Texas state law if
31:51
a property owner of Oklahoma department on the border does not want people coming on his property he has the right
31:56
to sell what they can and he has a life of just like anybody else loves cropping any other part of Texas and he has a
32:03
right to look at law enforcement to help him if there's violations of Texas hold it so if we separate it this way I think
32:10
we can solve both these problems in a way that the link things off to everyone he's going across this line thank you
32:24
back down to this end to Robert Bell question is gay marriage your thoughts
32:32
I am a full support of day marriage
32:43
what two people or more
32:53
in the privacy of their own lives that's their business not my concern
33:00
I'm Floyd I'm the push advocacy for it not just waiting for the legislature to
33:07
uh to come to grips with it I would actually actively pushes
33:25
okay uh my opinion on this and you're going to Boom me on this but I'm against getting marriage
33:38
and say let's let's not boo a cheering is great but I'll just ask you guys
33:46
we should have done that
33:52
but anyways what I was trying to say is that I am against it it's wrong uh it's
33:59
uh it's it's uh it's a God's population and that because he designed to be between one man and one woman not one
34:07
man but one man not one man
34:13
right now uh but anyway however
34:19
well the thing about it is I only got enough time to do it and I'm like my time gets pretty close
34:26
but anyway whether you think it's right or not uh
34:31
that's your opinion though but if the majority of the citizens of Texas
34:37
want gay marriage then adult law will be passed on this I
34:42
will sign it if I was still there
34:51
fabulous I want to get government out of everything
35:03
I think it needs to be good everybody's coming together on this get the government out of marriage but people
35:09
need to have protection for their relationships in America you can make pretty much any agreement that you want
35:15
to and it should be respected and enforced legal so here's how we do it every County in Texas has a county
35:21
clerk's office that's where you go to before the date where you get things like energy here will you say don't get your marriage
35:28
certificates anymore instead yourself for register or any couple can set up and say we declare a I don't know what
35:34
domestic partnership and when you fight for that online because for the certain
35:39
set of default principles that it will be presented to us to uh exist such as in Parental Hospital visitation the
35:47
things you really need to know about protection for your relationship and it's online so you can text us any time
35:53
of the day or night so I used to go to the hospital in the middle of the night and they say well who has the right to give this concept of medical treatment
35:59
you go look up online so they have this partnership So This Is Us it takes all
36:05
the heat out of this discussion and in that way it doesn't matter you can call
36:11
define marriage however you want to and different ways but we don't have to follow it because here's the point
36:16
government doesn't weigh in and say who's right and who's wrong
36:28
so it's really none of my business but somebody else does
36:39
foreign
36:48
okay so now a little bit more theoretical question this one's starting with Mr Robert Garrett
36:54
what would you say are the differences between libertarianism and conservatism
37:00
um just by the sound of it with terrorism
37:07
the way I look at look against me when it's timing Liberty and Freedoms be able to do what you want
37:14
to do conservatism um it's almost very close to socialism
37:22
um you always deserve whatever you want to do but in order to do things the way
37:28
we want to not have government and tell us what us what we want to do we should be free to make our own
37:35
choices we should be free to do whatever we want and without
37:41
government interference um it's it's a hard
37:47
term on this so I think
37:53
that's on to the next one now thank you very much
38:00
libertarianism is a moral philosophy and it usually starts with fine Iran it certainly did with me and we thought
38:06
about this and we we have a will build a system of a moral philosophy that has
38:11
been debated and thought out and it will be a client of kind of quiet religion So
38:17
based on our non-dression principle so we will come back a couple of different place in my experience conservatives
38:22
sending a limited government but because they don't have a wealth of non-velocity you know what I ran say philosophy who
38:29
needs it the answer is you well because we do have a well-defined
38:34
philosophy and conservative design large Stone based on top skills that jump around to get to the conclusions they
38:40
may have an innate sense that government should be limited but because they don't really they're not anchored with a moral
38:47
principle or fundamental principle starting with Asa and existence exists and I have epistemology
38:54
how do you know what you know we come up with some practical conclusions that are well-based and in
39:02
philosophy so I think that's why I'm a movement system and we don't scare as much and we truly believe that
39:08
government can be limited and that we will we will prosper very well but
39:13
Christopher purpose I think it's just a little more by the scene of your pants thing but when I explained it apparentism too I'm concerned with
39:20
friends a lot of them say I call myself a conservative because I didn't know to call myself anything else I'm calling
39:26
myself with libertarian now so I think there are a lot of people who've been saying would call themselves concerned
39:31
and you know actually Libertarians thank you for so much
39:43
she said practical I think she was right I think the difference is when I hold
39:49
this and give you an example Libertarians in my opinion in them
39:55
Libertarians get things done practically we're talking about one of the biggest
40:00
problems in the state of Texas is water and under my proposal we're going to use
40:06
the Red River and bring water down from the great lakes and from the Mississippi this is a topographic map showing the
40:15
the way all the water the rivers and streams in Texas run this one shows
40:21
right here your elevations this as you can see is the highest point
40:27
everything grades itself to the Gulf of Mexico the darker the green the the
40:34
lower closer to the um to the water the sea level so what we do is Lubbock the
40:42
people in Lubbock right now are trying to figure out a way to bring water down here we feed all of the aquifers all the
40:49
way down the San Antonio Texas 30 seconds and you can see what he was
40:55
talking about is I would like to believe Libertarians are practical people
41:01
this program will create hundreds of thousands of jobs hundreds of thousands
41:08
of jobs in the state of Texas thank you
41:18
all right uh for me the difference for uh libertarianism is that we accept the
41:25
ownership of self and that there is no need for leaders
41:33
I believe that that is all right thank you
41:45
oh next question I'm sorry I started yeah what does the the does education look
41:54
like in libertarian world please address 8 through 12 in college one more time what does it what would
42:01
education look like in the libertarian world please address K-12 as well as college education oh okay uh as Governor
42:09
uh what I was planning on doing is that we need to get out the federal government out of this Common Core get
42:16
rid of it and go back to the basics of our education system from K-12 on also
42:22
through our congregation universities um we also need to eliminate this Zero
42:30
Tolerance that they use on our kids all the time uh just like just the other day a 13
42:36
year old from some school in another state he was doing some type of math problem doing something and
42:42
unconsciously he was just twirling a pencil and the kid behind you said that he's making motions of a gun
42:49
and and because of that he was sent off suspended and sent to a site evaluation
42:56
a 13 year old and all he needs to do is tool in his pencil trying to figure out something out on paper
43:02
that's wrong uh that's Zero Tolerance it's got to stop and it's not going to happen in Texas anymore
43:09
um one of the things I'm going to have mandatory in our education system all
43:14
the grade levels and to learn the Constitution of the United States
43:19
with it I think it's absolutely necessary we also need to teach the truth in our
43:26
education no lies we need to teach the good as well as the bad already tax actions oh Genesis okay
43:34
um also too we're going to make it through the uh the teachers the school boards the
43:39
principals everybody's responsible and one more thing is that we need to teach our kids on how to think
43:53
the education problem okay when I was in the floral debate in 2010 I asked what I
43:59
would do not prop house I said Let It Go they uh these trucks and laws that we
44:05
have for education is it a mission that they've got a product that they just can't give away so
44:20
there is think it's really a cause let people take care of their money and
44:27
provide for themselves and then I'm going all over Texas to tea parties so we can put it to anybody that Melissa
44:33
basically what I'm saying it's time to get going out of education and they were this morning the education is not the sacred cow it
44:40
used to be this is why we can we can focus on this everybody's dissatisfied
44:45
with education and I've got the substitution we have a constitutional provisional who said we're supposed to provide free public schools so that our
44:53
citizens will understand their Liberty to be able to maintain it well that's not happening now now we are not
44:59
educating our children well Liberty we are indoctrinating them to accept collectivism and they're not getting
45:06
educated and we're bankruping ourselves it's almost 40 percent of our budget that we spend or misspelled on education
45:13
so that's what I say if we can't do a better job than this then we need to appeal our constitutional prohibition
45:18
and get government out of Education all together
45:27
sorry I'm not sure what that means at libertarian world
45:34
oh give one of us work to be nominated and
45:39
work to be elected will be against the Democrat and against the Republican candidate
45:46
we would have to work with the state legislature to pass any ideas or proposal
45:54
and most people are in control of that what we would as an opportunity
46:00
as Governor we would have an opportunity to show and lead and solve a couple of
46:06
problems that they will agree with us on I bought out of Harlingen Texas I'm a
46:13
builder out of Port Aransas and we build and fix things that's our job and
46:20
there are six percent of the Hispanics voters out of the valley voted last time
46:26
six percent and when you ask my friends their why they say because they don't
46:32
make a damn nobody cares about what we say anyhow what difference does it make
46:38
no one is going to win this race unless you carry the Hispanic vote
46:44
foreign
46:54
I can do that from the valley but I can only do it by fixing that border and any
46:59
military man knows if you go up against any Force you have to have three and a
47:05
half times overwhelming Force than to force you up against thank you
47:14
how about for education I agree that we need to get government out of it we need to
47:20
remove Common Core push it back to our communities since they know what's best
47:26
for our children what they want them to learn and so on when it comes to college
47:33
unfortunately in the business world and your degree is required in a lot of
47:39
places I don't like real world experience even though that sends to Trump a degree in a lot of times
47:46
uh for libertarian World in college it would be a self-sufficient College not
47:52
one day by you know the taxpayers let the research check being done at the college pay for the college like the
47:59
school sports being done at the college paid for the college through the tuition
48:04
things like that self-sufficiency and education
48:18
I'm sorry I'm sorry I'm getting confused long today okay we have a quick
48:24
lightning round here this is going to be the last set of questions before closing stations there all should be yes or no questions give it your best shot
48:31
all right so the first yes or no question and I'll ask all four
48:38
should we stop giving money as corporations to move to Texas should we Annex messages in Mexico
48:47
will you prominently feature the words libertarian party on all campaign literature and do you support the
48:53
libertarian party of Texas becoming a primary party sooner than is required by law
48:59
yes no yes no all right all right
49:05
sorry corporate corporations getting money to
49:12
move to Texas foreign another
49:19
okay Annex Mexico
49:25
prominently future the world's libertarian party on all campaign literature you choose to that you're right and
49:33
support the attorney actually becoming a primary party before the law requires
49:42
we tore the law requires right meaning that we would be allowed to
49:49
before we're going to be required to so at the point what we're allowed to support making that choice to switch
49:57
over a connection to practice
50:02
management
50:17
fair enough two minutes for closing statements and we will start with Starlight
50:25
someone confused a little bit about what we're doing here
50:31
the object is to get somebody nominated who can face Abbott
50:37
pull the Hispanic vote for the working vote pulls a working vote across this
50:43
state the 20 of 287 000 people in Lubbock who are starving
50:50
for water up there and South all the drought without somebody who can do that
50:56
what's the point of this I tell you the truth I wouldn't want to
51:03
be a nominee of a party that won't fix the murderer
51:08
and the killing that's going on across that border priests are being murdered
51:13
nuns are being murdered children are being owned
51:21
maybe you shouldn't maybe you really ought to not to nominate me
51:27
because what I'm going to do is work with the other people the other parties if I was elected you got to do that
51:36
you're not going to be there but with money or with fancy flyers or pictures or things that guy has an unlimited
51:44
amount of money you brought 20 million he'll double that and raise it 40 more
51:51
the only way you're going to win this is in the streets of West Texas
51:56
talking to the farmers and the ranchers out there when I won the only a
52:01
candidate here that's actually won an election in this state I won the Republican nomination for the 21st
52:07
congressional district which was the largest District in Texas and I did that in the streets out there in Midland and
52:15
out there in Ozuna out there in those small towns one-on-one at the farmers ranking you
52:22
can't get those people to vote for you you might as well not even try what did
52:28
y'all do last time
52:37
Teddy Roosevelt once said the great fundamental issue now before people can be stated briefly and that is are the
52:44
American people fit to control themselves to roll themselves to govern themselves
52:49
and here we stand over a century later faced with the same fundamental issue or Texans Faith to control themselves to
52:58
rule themselves to govern themselves government is bigger than ever in Texas
53:03
need a governor who can run the functions of State in an efficient and cost-effective manner but leave the
53:09
people and businesses of Texas to manage themselves I want to be that governor
53:15
government is more invasive than ever in Texas need a governor who protects our constitutional rights not a governor
53:21
that's going to take him away one by one Texas need a governor who wants government to stay out of their lives
53:28
out of the way and the governor who will ensure that the rights of all individuals are upheld not just those as
53:34
a majority I want to be that governor
53:45
government is more conflicted than ever in Texas being a governor who reminds legislators that they work for the
53:51
people of tests not for their own ideas yeah
53:57
the governor must be able to help us see past party lines and work together to do what is best for Texas and for its
54:04
people I want to do that number
54:09
I'm Robert Bell and I have the experience to run an efficient and streamlined operation
54:15
I have the strength of welcoming choices that will help on not only Texans Prosper but more than returning party as
54:20
well I have the passion to fight for our constitutional rights and at the pride that comes from being a test
54:27
so I'll ask again our text is fit to World themselves to control themselves
54:33
to govern themselves
54:53
very good Bob very good get credit what credit is due right okay
55:00
all my last few minutes here um I would like to take a uh
55:16
during his writings uh he's one of my favorite writers and he came up with an
55:21
episode season two episode 26 if I remember correctly it's called the Obsolete Man
55:26
it was very good one awards for it and what I've done is I downloaded that
55:33
episode and I wrote down because this is where we're heading and just like he
55:39
said the people in Texas don't stand up and start doing things for themselves and weighing off the federal government
55:46
Patrol over us this is what's going to happen to us you walked into this room at your own
55:52
risk because it leads into the future not a future that will be but be one but
55:57
be what might be this is not a world it's simply an extension of what began in the old one
56:03
it patterned itself from every dictator who has ever implanted that ripping the influence of a boot on the patient
56:09
history since the beginning of time it has refinances technological advances and the more
56:16
sophisticated approach to the destruction of human freedom but like every one of all super State
56:22
states that perceived a bit it has one Ireland rule logic is an enemy and Truth
56:28
is a menace basically what he's trying to say is is that
56:34
uh 27 in okay okay any stage any Unity any
56:40
ideology that fails to recognize you the work of the dignity and the rights of man that state is obviously we are
56:47
headed in that direction if we don't start turning it around now thank you
56:56
adding glass well I still want to be your Texas color same genes I told you in my opening
57:02
statement and by now I think maybe you can understand that it's easy the risk of the threats to our Liberty the way I
57:08
do is when I say it makes sense and if you don't see it then you just don't get
57:13
me and that's unfortunate but I want to handle this little two-party system which we all seem to accept and tell you
57:21
that it's widely accepted everywhere I go any speed I speak to groups of
57:27
Republicans or the tea party but they really were above us and and I say in your two-party system it's rug and then
57:34
share the local party sitting there and he says yeah
57:45
they're still trying to work with it I tell them it's it's it's a conceited
57:50
move which you can never get Liberty with a public a party that hypothesis have been tested for 20 years has taken
57:56
so then it has failed if they have a Statewide interesting uh on the solar Republican so the majority has the
58:03
Senate we are more attacks more steady more broad on our private property rights on our civil liberties less The
58:10
Shack on Washington everything you don't want nothing that you do want it so there's a whole lot of people out there
58:15
who drive to other parties and they know it's not working the time is right for
58:20
us to put a foot tense and run serious races and get these people to to come help us save our Liberty and they
58:27
promised this primary system I love that question no the primary system that's why it's broken it's a great game it's a
58:33
prohibitively expensive you have to have a of powerful funding and you have to do them anything oh you don't
58:38
intellect so I wanna on June 1st and this a system goes to the place where
58:45
Texas National Guard reports of DHS I don't know what's happening but something since we come again in this
58:51
election season we need to have a governor and a big wake up until what is going on here and they know the Republic
58:58
we have our current to say we told you that Mrs honey and we need to fix this
59:03
so one one more thing anyway thank you okay
59:09
I've got more to say about this the classic of these ways that we can win
59:18
working over here
59:28
thank you all thank you very much
59:37
thank you
