Libertarian Running for Governor of New York | Larry Sharpe | POLITICS | Rubin Report

[@CTGnyc]

The man has the most New York attitude on earth. At the start I was skeptical but 3/4 of the way through I am sold. I will be voting Larry Sharpe for governor of NY.

[@davidkaye7743]

CT now get others to vote for him

[@CTGnyc]

David Kaye I will be volunteering for his campaign, there are about 500,000 Orthodox Jews that would be willing to throw him a vote.

[@AbeVonDoom]

After seeing Cortez win, we need to bring balance to the force and vote libertarian haha. Queens needs a libertarian I'm sick of this shit Lol

[@CTGnyc]

Avram That won’t happen, Queens won’t get a libertarian unless this man’s plan works.

[@LibertarianJRT]

CT as a libertarian activist I have spent good time with Larry in private settings. This man is the real deal. Had I known his quality in 2016, I would have voted for him instead of Bill Weld at thr convention.

[@loffel1700]

I've followed this guy on Facebook as I'm in NY. He's SPOT ON. Middle class is dying. 70k salary can't even afford a home. I'll repeat, 70k salary cannot afford a home. You're either poor and living off the system (that's sluggish to change exactly for the reasons Larry says), or you're rich and can afford it. Larry's first appearance in my world was when he was talking about NY being the franchise capitol. No mom and pop shops. No local business. This is a result of the previous paragraph - only the wealthy can afford NY and therefore only the wealthy can afford to be business owners in NY, generally. We need to loosen up the reins to allow the middle class to rise. You got my vote, Larry Sharpe!

[@GlinkBetweenWorlds]

Its great to hear a fresh, educated libertarian voice. Its time for the foney liberal conservative paradigm to end. Get this guy on Joe Rogan.

[@Durthii]

you're check marked, your content is well done. why does this suggestion, "get this guy on rogan" not have enough upvotes to be near the top..... :( GET SHARPE ON ROGAN. 3 hours of Sharpe out to the world would be incredible for his campaign.

[@JuanGarcia-qd8ig]

This guys have some serious ideas. I don't agree that much with libertarians but this guy brings something new. I don't thing he is another Garry. He seems to be more sharp. no pun intended.

[@JockoJonson17]

yeah, this guy perfect for rogan

[@TrequartistaFM]

Glink you beast! Keep up the good work

[@tomservo75]

Not to mention the phoney "LINOs" who are really Democrats who know they can't get elected as Democrats. The Libertarian Party, as Dave suggested early on, is disorganized and undisciplined.

[@heatherbretsch8438]

Wow... This guy makes sense. He is one of the few politicians that I have heard where I'm not cringing at every other point. I'm actually agreeing with most of his ideas.

[@sirwence9949]

honestly its probably because he isn't really a politician per say. Hes rather what politicians are supposed to be. (IE Non Career politicking)

[@Salia73]

Gary Johnson helped Libertarians gain major party status in Iowa. We have Libertarian candidate Jake Porter on the ballot for governor this year. Whatever you think of Gary's oddities, this was the positive impact he had. Thank you so much for doing this interview, Dave! Larry is fantastic!

[@zachtaylor8222]

Salia73 Jake and Marco are both awesome. You guys are doing great with getting good candidates!

[@rmbroadwell]

Salia73 He helped boost us in Nebraska too. We've had a good increase in registered libertarians and several new local parties have started up :)

[@carlsjr7975]

Think you should thank Trump and Hillary. Gary was just there at the right time.

[@Salia73]

I agree, the low bar of the other candidates helped but still will not diminish the state by state ballot access initiative that it required of Gary's campaign. The two party system doesn't make this easy for other parties to achieve and that was still a victory in my book.

[@cf1005]

If the LP ran a competent candidate in 2016 we would’ve got even more. The party ran a moron between two of the most hated candidate in history. Don’t forget a 15 year old boy ran as “Deez nuts” and polled at 9% in North Carolina. That’s how bad this race was. So Gary was a right place right time.

[@imbatman8040]

This guys seems very genuine.

Adrienne Mercedes does LIer rhyme with liar?

[@NYmomAdrienne3915]

Michael Pflanzer stands for Long Islander..

[@NYmomAdrienne3915]

Michael Pflanzer people from NY will read it as Long Islander. However, LIer and liar would not be rhyming words but homophones if it was pronounced that way. Two words that sound the same, different spelling, and meaning. I review my daughter's homework, random fact in my head

[@81bhoke]

He is right that if he becomes a legitimate voice for small government in New York it would change how the rest of the big cities think. I hope he succeeds.

[@iwtommo]

Being allowed to refuse services, but not being allowed to refuse goods is a middle ground i guess i can work with. The hardcore ancap in me says BUT THATS NOT FREE MARKET but the libertarian in me says LET ME DO WHAT I WANT WITH MY MONEY. Its a really good middle ground. Nice guy. Head screwed on. Heart in the right place. And he's (regrettably) right about having to get to liberty bit by bit. Aint gonna happen overnight. I wish i could vote for him. Things here in the UK are nowhere this promising.

[@fatetestarossa2774]

indeed

[@Vahn421]

Good summary. I'm in full agreement.

[@mgtowk6883]

"fear makes bad decisions" Well, that explains the democratic party in current year...

[@SBCBears]

You could make the same argument re Repubs vis a vis the Mexican border. In any case, fear also motivates good and necessary decisions.

[@fatetestarossa2774]

well said MGTOWk : )

[@maxdecphoenix]

except that the 'repubs' haven't ever touched the border.. the only walls this country has have been built by democrats. A majority Democrat congress sent democrat bill Clinton a bill for the wall in a non capagin year. He signed it. immigration became a criminal matter, ground broke in 94 for a section of wall and the detention facilities. by 95 they were throwing people and kids in them. by 96 when Clinton was signing his anti crime bill, Jeff Sessions was suing the government for throwing kids in cages, democratic California Circuit court which held the kids must be detained and that was it. They did it for 20 years.

I agree with his position on the cake. Completely even trade off. If you create a product for anyone to buy then sell that product, but if they ask for a service from you, you should have the right to refuse your services.

[@rmbroadwell]

Ftw Nil The Baker did offer to sell the couple anything in his bakery, he just refused to create a custom cake. Not sure how Dave and Larry weren't aware of that.

It's where public and private squares touch. Compromising is inevitable unless u're want to give up public square completely and no one is seriously for it

[@dizkoteck]

Larry used to campaign in local restaurants and now he’s on the Rubin Report. Now we have the Walkaway movement. I’m sure there’s a Right version of Walkaway movements too. He’s showing a lot of potential

[@carlsjr7975]

dizkoteck shit already happened. See the tea party and Trump

[@thefredkalis]

The testimony I have seen of the #walkawaycampaign a lot change because of Trump but not all want to join Republican. So they can become libertarian

[@LibertarianJRT]

Thank you for interviewing Larry Sharpe. This man is the grass roots. He is the real deal. I have shared a meal with him in May 2017, he is legitiment. Had I known him in 2016 as I did in 2017, he would have only lost to Bill Weld by 29 votes.

[@Rlndgunslinger]

I might vote for this guy, and I would never have heard of him if it weren’t for this show. Thank you, Dave et. al.

[@revolutiononarecliner]

Dave! I wanted to thank you again for having Larry on your program. I have a history of Libertarian activism and campaigning but I haven't been active in years.This is the first candidate I've been excited about since Ron Paul 2012. Larry is the kind of candidate Libertarianism has been desperately waiting for.

[@deda9829]

As a native Yorker who moved away, please please save the state and vote for Larry over the runt of other deplorables.

[@MovieMongerHZ]

I voted for Bernie then Hillary in 2016, then studied up on politics and my "enemy's" ideas. If I lived in NY I'd vote for Larry Sharpe. Get Cuomo and Republicans out!

[@scottevans1244]

You know Cuomo is a Democrat right?

[@JulyTiger1986]

Scott, I think that was intentional. Based on his first sentence it sounds like after voting in 2016 and doing some research he found that both parties are suckers, which they are, mostly. There are a few gems on both sides, but they're mostly both full of shit head swamp dwellers, Trump included.

[@AlbertVillaroman]

that's an interesting take. What policy did Larry have that made you want to vote for him (even though you can't vote for him lol)?

[@AlbertVillaroman]

@DeRocDEVIN Archives I would've thought bernie supporters would be hellbent on pushing for socialist programs. you don't need to convince me, I'm voting for him too 😁. The reason I asked is we need to get bernie/cynthia nixon supporters to change their mind and vote for larry in a way you did.

[@AlbertVillaroman]

@DeRocDEVIN Archives yup. especially what they did to bernie.

[@revkallisto]

[@ArcherWarhound]

18:28 That was exactly what happened in the Masterpiece Cakes store, and was the exact argument the Phillips' attorneys made before the Supreme Court, that current law says that generic products placed on the open market can't be refused to anyone, but an artist cannot be compelled to create a custom work of art they don't want to.

[@ArcherWarhound]

18:58 Sharpe is correct, reversing the Civil Liberties Act is the morally and ethically correct thing to do, but we'll have to have a big shift in the philosophical understanding of the general populace before overturning the CRA and the 60 years of case law supporting it could even happen. It's a future goal, right now top priority is making sure no more liberties are limited or revoked while educating more people in the ideals of liberty so the needed cultural shift can and does happen.

[@Lorinda581]

Yes!!!!

[@Jekyll_Island_Creatures]

Larry is great!

[@SimonTekConley]

I ran for a local office, did not campaign, didn't win either, but I did get roughly 33% of the votes. I was thrilled. It meant that I would have a serious shot if I did a little campaigning. It was an experiment on my part.

[@stakeaphobicz498]

If you don't mind my asking, what kind of money does that cost?

[@SimonTekConley]

Stakeaphobic Z to run? Not a dime. It's free to put your name on the ballot.

[@stakeaphobicz498]

Thanks! yea, to run. campaigning and crap ain't none of my business to be asking someone over youtube comments :) Interesting, curious about trying this experiment myself and seeing how that works

[@SimonTekConley]

It's fine, it never occurred to me that the cost would be a blocking concept to run for office. I wanted to know how it worked, so I put my name on a small ballot. In Indiana it was free to put my name on any primary ballot. From township board to governor. It's good to know, because you can try to run with little to no money. I'm an outsider to where I live, I've only been here for a few years. I'm also a volunteer firefighter. I did very little while running to campaign. I spent zero dollars. I still got 33% of the vote, I lost, but it was satisfying to see if I had put effort in it, I could've won a township seat. 3 seats were available. 4 people ran. 3 of the people have been on the seat for 20 years.

[@FtwNil]

[@dalethomas7944]

[@mattg6186]

No matter what you think about this guy, he has achieved so much despite all of the odds being against him. And also he is a great libertarian.

[@jonghoonpark8050]

I'm coming back to New York soon. I envision a New York such as the one Larry Sharpe espouses for our future. I'm voting for Sharpe. This guy has vision, he's rational, he agrees with the will of the people, which has been unheard and ignored for so long, and I feel we can work with and trust Sharpe for building a better future according to the realities on the ground in New York. There are so many people who would love to do the Charitable Choice Credit instead of the normal tax system we've had for far too long. And this would not only encourage and help small start-up organizations dedicated to true grassroots causes, but it would build community and awareness. The Can-Do American attitude and way of life must thrive again. I'll be voting for Larry Sharpe!!

[@matthewmarsh1971]

Go larry go!!! You have everyone in my family voting for you. YOu took the time to sit with us and talk.. You planted the seed. We got 30 others to watch your videos and hear you and go to your events, they are voting for you also. Keep it up buddy!

[@marcsman07]

Now THIS is a guy i think i could get behind. I dont live in new york but I'll definitelt be watching him to see how he does.

[@BioHunter1990]

I hope he wins. If this guy wins the Office of Governor, I think it’s going to be a massive upset to national politics. We’re talking about a Libertarian winning the top office in not a small potatoes state like Wyoming. We’re talking about *the* financial capital of the United States and one of the single biggest economic and cultural centers in the world. And a state considered a fundamentally ironclad Democratic fortress. Major shift. Even if he doesn’t win, and the rules don’t change to protect the two parties, he will significantly affect NY politics.

[@danstheman33]

He's got my vote. At the risk of being optimistic, this is the first time in a very long time I felt any shred of hope for politics in this country. With all the madness and BS from both the left and the right, it's nice to have a truly reasonable alternative that I can feel good about voting for. You don't have to be a libertarian to think Larry Sharpe is a good choice. When the Democrats are no longer liberal, and the Republicans are no longer conservative, Sharpe is a step up whichever camp you're in. And I think it's about time we started taking third parties seriously in this country. I just shared this video on Facebook (with more or less the above comment), I hope many people watching this video (especially NY residents) do the same!

[@jicudi]

I haven't been this excited for a potential politician in... Well, a long time. And I don't even live in New York.

New Yorker here, and I look forward to voting for Larry Sharpe in November. I say this as a Liberal and registered Democrat. The Left has destroyed the Democratic party. I want no part of that Democratic Socialism shit. I also had the pleasure of meeting and interviewing Larry Sharpe myself, he really is a down to earth man who cares about the issues that matter to all the people of New York State. I'm from rural New York, and none of the other candidates really seem to give a crap about where I'm from. Larry has visited the small towns that everyone else ignores.

[@mypathtobecomeapilot]

Which is what exactly the Christian Baker offered.

[@rmbroadwell]

Raul Medina Yep! Not sure how Dave and Larry weren't aware of that

[@bryannichols2366]

The issue is the Gay couple wouldn’t except that and turned it into a huge deal Instead of just moving on

[@mypathtobecomeapilot]

Bryan Nichols that is the root cause yes. But what they were saying in the Supreme Court case was that the moment they wanted the baker to make a custom cake at that point they were engaging his individual artistic abilities. And as an artist the message of a gay wedding contradicts his religious beliefs. He also stated the baker, that his artistic message was complete in all the products that will ready to be sold. Which he was happy to sell. In addition the emphasis of his artistic beliefs with his religion he does not make Halloween cakes, divorce cakes, because those events contradict his religion.

[@systemttb8077]

It would be like going to a gay baker and asking them to write "I hate gays" on the cake, I wouldn't except the gay baker to write that, and he the gay baker should have the right to deny that.

So nice to see Libertarianism starting to take off, and I'm not even a Libertarian. We need more parties, more options. It would be great if the left could have their own version of this, as well - ANYTHING to break the hegemony of our two party system.

[@norsefalconer]

Benjamin .Heneberry it Is the left version of "this." Fiscally Conservative, Socially Liberal. Libertarianism occupies the middle ground, it IS the compromise, between two increasingly radicalized party platforms, that the nation needs.

[@andremayes4316]

I've been a frustrated swing voter from Buffalo for my entire life. New York's Democratic machine has all but forgotten about it's second-largest city (and the rest of Upstate, for that matter). It's wonderful to hear ideas that involve kicking government back to the local level so that we're not subject to the whims of politicians who only know about us for snow and chicken wings. Are they all perfect? No, but that's how government is supposed to function; local governments are laboratories for states, and states for the nation. It beats the incredibly corrupt Buffalo Billion corporate welfare package that just lead to several bid-rigging convictions for contractors who are all major Cuomo donors. I'm excited to vote for Larry Sharpe in November, and I can honestly say that no gubernatorial candidate has ever gotten me to say that before.

[@jarettmeyer4929]

About the baker: as a private business owner and a laborer, he has the right to refuse service to anyone. However, as a consumer society, we have the ability to drive him out of business or force him to change. The government shouldn't get in the way of that process.

[@podjun80]

what do you mean by "ability to drive him out of business or force him to change" exactly?

[@EbilSpaceDucky]

justsay no A boycott would force one of two things, he goes out of business, or he's "forced" to change to stay in business

[@grumpycat_1]

Or he just stays in business and makes less profit b/c of his faith based (or even "anti gay) choices.. Im fine with any of those outcomes as long as the govt doesn't come to his store with guns to make him "inclusive"

Sam Quagglecheck exactly

[@MichaelJamesonofgoogle]
