Coming up open cspan 2, president ial nominee gary johnson addresses the economic club. And the House Oversight committee where the law stands six years later. And, after that, two subcommittee look at the decision to leave Health Insurance marketplaces and now an update from the road to the white house. Joining us is nick gas, at po lith take co, and his work is Available Online and youve had a busy day. Its been a busy couple of few days, and as, it everyday, with this election approaching its last few weeks. Well, lets talk about some of the eight stories that you have written, Hillary Clinton back on the campaign trail tomorrow. Shell be in North Carolina and then in washington, dc, for a couple of days. What can we expect . I think what is most important for Hillary Clinton, is that she gets out on the trail and she shows that shes healthy, and shes able to be transparent about what happened, to discuss her plan to improve the lives of americans, and to defeat donald trump and why donald trump is the wrong choice. Her campaign feels that a return to normal, would do her well. And it will improve the swoon that we have seen her sustain, in recent polls. Also, looking ahead had to next week, when she will be in new york, and they announce he had a number of bilateral meetings, her session with the equip shan president , and getting a Quick Response from the Trump Campaign. That was announced earlier that shell be meeting with equip and ukraine and possibly others that will be happening next week. Not a specific day. All to potentially give the former secretary of state more credibility going forward, showing that shes already speaking with these dignitaries and she is reminding voters she has the experience of doing so. It carries the consequence of the Trump Campaign being able to, as they have done, point out that, its another reminder of her failed leadership, and experience, as secretary of state. So, shes counting on more people to see that experience aspect rather than remembering every detail about her legacy as secretary of state. A specific example by the Trump Campaign, calling it a failed reset with rush. I never thought i would say, doctor oz and a president ial candidate in the same sentence but were talking about his program and donald trump who was in new york, taping the program that will air tomorrow. What did he release . What did he tell doctor oz . Its unclear what he told doctor oz, but what we reported on, and my colleague, and spoke to a few people, who were at the taping, that was he talked about his weight, how he would like to lose some pounds, and he is 6 3, and hes 236. Other people say, he said 267. His b. M. I. Would be almost obese, overwailgt, and, according to c. D. C. , body mass index. Might not be the most reliable indicator of health. But donald trump said other things, according to other reports as well, where he would talk about his main exercise is moving his hands while he is speaking. He didnt seem to say that he had the greatest diet, he said he liked eating fast food because he knows whats in it. There were reports that donald trump was going to release detailed information about his health records. Clearly, thats not the case. That would not be, it still could be the case that theyre going put out some form of health records. Expectations became overblown when it was reported that he would be appearing on the doctor oz show. He said that he was going to be asking him a series of questions while also saying he wasnt going to ask him anything that he didnt to want answer. So, it turned out that donald trump did give him a couple pieces of paper with his medical information. Its unclear everything that they talked b. Well see how it looks on the show tomorrow from the taping today. But, its clear that, the Trump Campaign has been saying theyll put out more detailed medical information. Whether it is the couple pieces of paper, or, its unclear whether that is going to satisfy voters and the media, based on the fact that a lot of people want more information from Hillary Clintons campaign and they are going to be providing that, particularly after the events of last weekend. Let me ask you about the story about the new York Attorney general who was on cbs denying that his investigation, into the foundation is politically motivated. Hes a Hillary Clinton supporter and this is coming eight weeks before the election. It is possible that they are painting it as a political hit job. I think was the word, or something to that effect. Saying that, donald trump, this investigation thing that, donald trump and the foundation did not act in good faith, with their donation to pam bondis campaign that he paid the fine for. This is tit titfortat politicl move that the campaigns can fight over. It minimights the significance of the concerns of both campaigns because theyre looking at individual contributions. Theyre not looking at ap foles apples. But apples to oranges. Nick well let you get back to work but thank you for your time, on what has been a very busy day. Thank you.

The honorable gary johnson was elected governor of new next co in 1994 as republican in an overwhelming Democratic State and reelected to a second term four years later. Despite his two terms, he still prefers to call himself an entra per 4. He started a doortodoor happen r handyman business. It was one of the Largest Construction Companies in new mexico with more than 1,000 employees. I would call that. As a businessman he ran for governor, and his passion, for helping people. Although he considers himself to be libertarian, he has believed that good Public Policy should be based on practical cost benefit analysis rather than just strict ideology. He is best known for ressisting the temptation to solve every problem with government. He also cut taxes, 14 times, without ever raising them. He balanced the states budget and left new mexico with a billion dollar surplus. During his two terms, he improved the schools, and executed a major infrastructure overhaul. In the president ial election, he participated in the Republican Party primary as a avid skier, ironman and biker, he has scaled the highest peak on each of the 7 constiments, including mount everest.

With that, take it away. All right. First of all, i want to extend a thank you to you folks here, for having me up here to play moderator. Just to want let you know i was in west. Lafayette, last night ad this morning was get up at 5 00 to make it here. And i can tell you, getting home at 5 00 was much more fun than getting up. It is our pleasure to be here and as the governor will tell you, you can ask him anything, and everything, because hes that kind of person. Heres the first question, and this came up, in the car this morning. The last two times we add president s whose last name was johnson, one got impeached and the other got us into vietnam. Well, lets start with the impeach meant side. I have done a couple of things in my life or believe in several things, but one of them, is if you tell the truth you dont have to remember anything. Another is, the unforgivable, is saying one thing and doing another. I many 23409 a hip crit. And then, with with regard to Lyndon Johnson and getting involve in vietnam, i do fault johnson for escalating the vietnam war. My first vote for president was mcgovern against nixon because of the vietnam war. I dont think that we should involve ourselves, in supporting regime change. I cannot think of one example where that has worked out positively. Lets start with the big issue thats on the minds of lots of folks, jobs and the economy. I did a little bit of research, in michigan, the latest unemploy meant figures show 4. 5 . And detroit it 9. 1, what can or what should the role of the president be in job creation . When i ran in the 2012 cycle, rick perry was beating his chest over the fact that he had created more jobs in texas than anybody else running for president. They did an analysis and it was me. My response was, it was the same as when i was governor, i did not create one single job. Private sector creates t. Government does not. But what i did do, and would do as president , is create certainty, certainty, that taxes were only going to go down, and rules and regulations were only going to get better from a common sense standpoint, and i did run State Government. I will run federal government. I will appoint everyone, to head these agencies. Rules and regulations will not get any worse. Theyll get better. Taxes ill sign onto any proposal that simplifies taxes or any proposal that reduces taxes. Over an eightyear periods as governor, non not one penny of tax went up. So given that kind of certainty, it would be wonderful to sign onto reduction in taxes, but in an environment of uncertainty, i suggest business does have confidence and jobs do grow. How do we restore, the date at that time shows the economy is turning around. A lot of americans dont people t. They dont people like theyre making more money, and how do you make that connection with the American Voter . Having been governor of new mexico and running for president , i do think that capitalism is alive and well. I do believe that pay to play exists and thats when government picks winners and losers and i will tell you, having been governor of new 34ebgs co, you can bring an end to that. I add supporter after i left office talking about pay to play and i said, jerry, i didnt do any of that. And he goes, gary i know that, we all know that. Its never happened before r before and it will never happen again. I will tell you that Good Government is easy. It is easy to bring that to an end. And what i think people are really looking for, is equal opportunity. It is a system that is game and i believe that. I believe that overnight with whom you elect you can bring that to an end. The issue of trade and trade deals. Nafta, or the transpacific partnership. Are you a free trader . What is your position . Well, im free trade. That would mean no tariffs. Of course, donald trump is talking about a 35 tariff on imported goods. That number is 1. 4 . Who is going to pay for the 35 . I make the pledge that as president of the United States im going sign onto anything that makes things better. Nothing is perfect. I would sign sign the tpp. We are all about hightech, high wage jobs and it would do that. What about the criticism, that those deals that undermine american manufacture mooring and going overseas and brings them back here to america. Do we need renegotiate what we have . Pledge to you, as president of the United States, and i love this aspect, of being governor, i immersed myself in these issues, from the standpoint of making things better. A analysis of everything that came on my desk, will this make things better . Now, saying that, i may have vetoed more legislation than the other 49 governors. I vetoed 750 bills. Only two were overturned. I took line item veto to a new artform. I saw a lot of legislation, that benefited those that had money and influence and giving them more. I saw a lot of legislation that was spending money that wairnlts going to have any impact whatsoever on the issue itself. I was also transparent, writing veto messages and going before the people and explaining my side. I just think that its sitting in a state that was 21 democrat, me beingal andly conservative that i got reelected the second time than the first time. I think it speaks volumes to the fact that people appreciate good stewardship of tax dollars. We are in michigan, in the motor city, 9 automobile bailout, back in the last decade, would you have supported it . Free trade. Thats about letting the market. No i would not have bailed it out. I would not have bailed out wall street. Im not doing this in a vacuum. Jeff is my economics adviser and staff, no one, on that staff believes that there would have been a financial failure were we to have not bailed out wall street. They made hor ran choices. They should have been rewarded, by having gone bankrupt. We do have a mechanism for restructuring and it is bankruptcy. I dont think michigan would have died. But i think that government interjecting itself in business does pick winners and losers. The other big issue, immigration. What is your position . Do you support path to citizenship . Round up 11 Million People . Build a wall . Will well, i think that we should embrace immigration. Were a country of immigrants. Wharton school of business thats Donald Trumps alma mater came out with an analysis restricting immigration. It will have a negative impact on our economy. Allowing for more high skill workers would have a minimal positive impact on this country, increasing immigration, very positive on the economy. 11 million undocumented workers, i have to tell you, thats grounded or the deportation, thats grounded in untrue. These are hardworking people who have come across 9 border, undocumented because the United States has made it impossible for them to get a work visa. Make it easy for anybody that wants to work, to be able to get a work visa, it should entail a background check and a Social Security card. Building a fence, is just crazy. They are taking jobs that u. S. Citizens dont want. Theyre the cream of the crop when it comes to workers, and if you talk about the deportation of 11 million undocumented workers in, new mexico, where 50 is hispanic, thats a doortodoor taking people out of their homes, that they have owned. 20, 30 years ago, it was not the issue that it is today. It was because you could not gate work visa, you came over and bought at house and your kids have had kids and now were going deport leading citizens, in new mexico, theme be deported back to mexico. Its wrong. Do we do citizenship or green status . For the 11 million that are here make it as easy as possible for them to get a work visa. As long as they have been law abiding. Comprehensive reform needs to lay out pathway to citizenship. No undocumented worker should be able to jump the line but we need to establish citizenship. If you look at our medicare, Social Security, our economy, house mooring i think we are we benefit by increasing immigration. Another issue, i was listening to the news program, donald trump is scheduled to make a visit to flint, michigan. The mayor, and the two senators, held a news conference, to bring attention to the crisis. Is that a situation that the government should be involved in . It is as situation that the government should be involved in. They have a responsibility to protect us. In this case, pollution. I support the epa. When the whole flint thing broke, as governor of new mexico i add program that no one else had in the countrydy it for eight years. I add program called open door of a 4, where anyone could come and see me on the 3rd thursday of every month, starting at 4 00 in the afternoon until 10 00, at night. Flint, michigan would have come to me, at open door after four, if other avenues would have failed. If i would not have done something at that first meeting, the second meeting, everybody would have been in that will meeting, and i would have been in the middle of that. I dont want to point fingers. I dont know what happened in michigan other than this really is a failure of government, and the inability it communion indicate. And as president of the United States im going to have an open door of a 4 policy as president of the United States, theres some logistics, but its a way to stay connected and it was one of the most valuable things that i did. Where do you find na medium between overregulation versus held and safety concerns . Thats what i love about the job. That line there, what is overregulation . What is just nuts . Where is common sense . I come back to open door of a 4, the states closed, an underpass in northern new mexico saying big trucks could not fit under the under pass causing trucks to have a 6hour detour. Trucker comes in and says, they have closed t. Well they closed it because your truck wont fit. I have driven my truck 6 million miles, and i go underneath
