The Libertarian argument: 1. Taxation is slavery. 2. No wait taxation is cool as long as it's states doing it. 3. No wait some federal taxation is ok. 4. No wait most federal taxation is ok. 5. Oh crap I'm just a Republican who thought I was special.

I did a super basic research on this for a community college public speaking class, not only is there evidence that the planet is getting warmer, but they have charts and graphs that you can look at. NASA has been studying this and they have found that the last few years have been record breaking years of heat in a row. Also, they can prove through examining the CO2 in ice cores that indeed atmosphere is growing more abundant with CO2. The thing about CO2 is that it traps heat, so when there's a bunch of it in the atmosphere, the planet almost literally becomes oven that's slowly being turned up.

[@keirfarnum6811]

su An even better argument is that billions of people around the world want our lifestyle and in order to make it possible without involving violence, we need to develop technology to make it possible and affordable to live this lifestyle. Plus it will make our lifestyle cheaper for ourselves. In addition, people around the world will be developing green tech whether we like it or not. We can get in on the ground floor and help develop our economy, or we can get left behind and stagnate with the end result being our becoming a poor nation. Even if scientists have missed some intangible variable and our actions aren’t contributing to global warming as much as we thought, we cannot take the chance of being wrong. There are many reasons for us to develop green tech and global warming is only one.

I'm so sick of people like this caller. They have a little bit of information and think they're a constitutional law professor. If the federal govt. didn't pay for interstates most small states could not have paid for them alone. Those roads help businesses in their states. Its like an insurance pool...the more people paying into the system the lower the costs for everyone.

[@SovereignStatesman]

RuleofFive Oh, this is good:" If the federal govt. didn't pay for interstates most small states could not have paid for them alone." And who PAYS for the federal government, if not most of the small states? Dumbass.

[@RuleofFive]

Tom Evans "And who PAYS for the federal government, if not most of the small states? Dumbass." You missed my point and the point of the Eisenhower Interstate System. More than half the population lives in the 10 most populated states. By using the pool of the federal government's money even a state like Wyoming (pop. 600, 000) can have interstate highways built with the help of larger states pooling their money at the federal level. Is that too hard for you to understand?

[@SovereignStatesman]

RuleofFive Your point is wrong on so many levels that it denies wasting time explaining them. The interstate was built for war, Europe has better international roads without a federal government, private roads could do it better through supply and demand, etc.

[@SovereignStatesman]

Dom Trussardi Uh, no, without the states there would be no federal government. Law of Nations, Book I, Chapter I, § 10: Of states forming a federal republic: *Finally, several sovereign and independent states may unite themselves together by a perpetual confederacy, without ceasing to be, each individually, a perfect state. They will together constitute a federal republic: their joint deliberations will not impair the sovereignty of each member, though they may, in certain respects, put some restraint on the exercise of it, in virtue of voluntary engagements. A person does not cease to be free and independent, when he is obliged to fulfil engagements which he has voluntarily contracted.* This ties into Federalist No. 39: *On examining the first relation, it appears, on one hand, that the Constitution is to be founded on the assent and ratification of the people of America, given by deputies elected for the special purpose; but, on the other, that this assent and ratification is to be given by the people, not as individuals composing one entire nation, but as composing the distinct and independent States to which they respectively belong. It is to be the assent and ratification of the several States, derived from the supreme authority in each State, the authority of the people themselves. The act, therefore, establishing the Constitution, will not be a NATIONAL, but a FEDERAL act.* *That it will be a federal and not a national act, as these terms are understood by the objectors; the act of the people, as forming so many independent States, not as forming one aggregate nation, is obvious from this single consideration, that it is to result neither from the decision of a MAJORITY of the people of the Union, nor from that of a MAJORITY of the States. It must result from the UNANIMOUS assent of the several States that are parties to it, differing no otherwise from their ordinary assent than in its being expressed, not by the legislative authority, but by that of the people themselves. Were the people regarded in this transaction as forming one nation, the will of the majority of the whole people of the United States would bind the minority, in the same manner as the majority in each State must bind the minority; and the will of the majority must be determined either by a comparison of the individual votes, or by considering the will of the majority of the States as evidence of the will of a majority of the people of the United States. Neither of these rules have been adopted.* *Each State, in ratifying the Constitution, is considered as a sovereign body, independent of all others, and only to be bound by its own voluntary act. In this relation, then, the new Constitution will, if established, be a FEDERAL, and not a NATIONAL constitution.* --The Federalist Papers : No. 39 So the USA is a federal republic, not a national one-- i.e. a purely _voluntary_ association of sovereign nations, each ruled supremely by its _People._ Thus since the states were legally sovereign nations by law, the Lincoln regime accomplished its war by lies and _censorship,_ locking up anyone who told this truth, and even toruturing them with horrible tortures including shoving hoses down their throats and filing their lungs with water until they exploded, in addition to running concentration-camps for anyone who resisted. THAT'S how they won the war. However with the internet and other modern technology, there's no longer any way to do this and get away with it; and so once the truth is known, the end of tyranny will come not with a shout, but with a Twitter. Like when Mayor Daley's police beat up the Chicago protestors of the Vietnam war, "the whole world is blogging." In contrast, here's the White House's official response to Texas's petition for secession: *Our founding fathers established the Constitution of the United States "in order to form a more perfect union" through the hard and frustrating but necessary work of self-government. They enshrined in that document the right to change our national government through the power of the ballot -- a right that generations of Americans have fought to secure for all. But they did not provide a right to walk away from it. As President Abraham Lincoln explained in his @19 in 1861, "in contemplation of universal law and of the Constitution the Union of these States is perpetual."* As proven by the above passages, this is clearly a lie. And once this lie is exposed, and the People of each state learn that their state IS a sovereign nation-- and that they ARE the ruling sovereigns-- then that will be the end of it, states will secede at whim..... just like they can secede from the UN. "The pen is mightier than the sword.. and the truth shall set you free." --Lord Byron and John 8:32

Sam is no better.

[@iliketrains263]

why do callers always think that a hardline connection is the one thats dropping when theyre calling in on a cellphone :/

[@Cenyon]

This caller is great! Lmao. I also think he is the lightbulb guy, even though he pretends not to be.

[@HoneyBakeryCakery]

Oh my God. You’re right! It didn’t even occur to me until I saw this comment!

I'm in Ottawa. He references Canada...yes, it was cold, but...we just had massive floods and the summers have been hotter than on record. On Canada Day in Ottawa (Canada's capital) it was so hot hardly anyone came out...over 40C.

This is the same guy that said slavery was ok for alabama and complained about lightbulbs. Either a troll or someone they had call the show.

This is my new favorite Sam Battles Libertarians clip. Pure gold.

[@donaldclifford5763]

I'd enjoy putting Sam in the hot seat, and see how well he fairs.

[@Baci302]

"Hi. I'm James. I'm an idiot from the South and I'm going to prove it for all the world to see in you radio show."

[@donaldclifford5763]

How about, "I'm Sam, and I'm a condescending liberal pushing my weight around to feel smart and superior."

One of the most epic ones. And it’s amazing how fast he was on his heels when Sam asked if owner of restaurant allowed to discriminate based on skin color to suggest “of course you could discriminate, let’s say, white customer”. He was stupid the whole time, but for that he was noticeably alert and prepared. I wonder why.

[@robertjordan3155]

so if a person owns there own body these libertarians would be pro choice right .

[@devourerofbabies]

Well, if you're only free because you own yourself, and you can do anything you like with your own property, then you should be able to sell yourself. Therefore, Libertarianism endorses slavery.

[@robertjordan3155]

devourerofbabies slavery would be selling some one else i think but with your train of thought shouldn't the be in favor of legalized prostitution

[@douglaslangley9251]

I lose it when he didnt "feel" like 35% was enough and that it had to be over 50%, arent these guys all about facts over feelings?

[@akumasdeception]

I truly don't know how Sam can do this. The patience of this man is outstanding.

I literally started feeling sick around the 19:20 mark and it just got worse... Oh man...

[@d3l3tes00n]

I've watched a bunch of these videos & every single caller has the exact same voice & attitude lol

[@benjaminpark5460]

Because it’s mostly all the same group. Young, white, middle class males who listened to to many libertarian youtubers or have a fetish for ayn Rand

[@Valyssi]

"You can't listen to these government scientists, you need to only listen to scientists who are paid by industry groups with a clear and massive conflict of interest in the research"

His arguments didn't age well. Will check back in 10 years to make sure.

The temperatures in Canada and Siberia hit over 50 degrees Celsius. That's 122 degrees farenheit for Americans. Totally normal

"We can't enslave them." Sounds like he wants to enslave them.

It rained on the highest mountain in Greenland. for the first time since records have been kept. Speeding the melting of the ice sheet there.

Uh oh. Sell your house and move to Mars. Climate is better on Mars of course.

[@DETHMOKIL]

Libertarian phones. Gotta love it.

[@wyoboy01]

Did he say Canada was colder than Mars? Is he serious? Really seriously serious?

[@BaronVonQuiply]

The lightbulb arguement again... I light my house with 5w LEDs. That's what a nightlight used to draw when I was a kid. Even on cloudy winter days, my solar panels still guarantee I'm not paying for light. You'd think someone calling themselves a Libertarian would appreciate that.

[@mrmacwayne6046]

Same guy calls several times. Same voice His name isn’t James Or Charles Or Chaz

Imagine thinking being southern is a race 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@HouseofReason78]

Wow, that wasssss EPIIIIC! I love how easily and repeatedly he exposed the hypocrisy of Libertarianism. “I would cut everything that actually makes the economy run better, and leave the military budget super over-inflated.” “Businesses should be able to totally treat all minorities as second hand citizens. If you were born anything but straight white Christian male, your life should be fucking awful and insanely harder, because that is healthier for the economy than making bigots feel icky.” Oh, I forgot. Magical fairy dust will insure people civil rights, no government necessary.

[@dawhite115]

I can never understand how someone so ignorant of reality can think they are so uniquely clever and knowledgeable.

The private prison industry is all the evidence you'll need of the great justice being done in the name of the free market, pardon my sarcasm.

Compared to what? Prisons are not pleasant, by design.
