FBC Kennedy December 8, 2016

Fouryear sabbatical. Time magazine has declared done very person of the year. Last year the donald was simply a dark horse candidate, a rabble rouser in a crowded field who didnt have a shot at wing the white house. Time snubbed him in 2015 and the soonto will be nominee was not happy tweeting back, they picked a person who is ruining germany. Last year the times person of the year was david hasselhoff. Adolph hitler was the man of the year in 1938. The distinction is not necessarily a positive one. It goes to quote person who had the greatest influence for bert or worse on the events of the year. Last year donald lands in third place. The two who sit on very opposite ends of the burka issue. Hillary clinton came in second. At least thats what time says now. But here is a look at the cover. As they mop up their liberal tears with the dying pages of a magazine forced to put president lightning rod on its cover. Internet users tickling keys. The first time al gore ran for president , and the mag crowned the computer king of the hill in 1982, pick a human. This time they did with a resigned see you. Knowing one of the conventions torched by a trump presidency. Its many the only time people talk about time, this issue might sell so well they might have to dust off the honor for donald once again next year. Oh, donald. Even in these desperate times you still retain that dry sense of humor. Kennedy i love your supporters. Glad you are here. Im kennedy. Donald trump is times person of the year. But what libertarian ideals can he follow to live up to that title . Here tonight its the libertarian leaning congressman from the great state of kentucky. Welcome back. This is quite an honor for you. So time magazines person of the year, you are a limited government libertarian leaning republican. What does donald trump have to do in your minds to earn that distinction. At the heart of libertarian principles is a nonaggression policy. You dont attack someone if they dont attack you. One of the things im most optimistic about is we are not going to war with russia. Whether its ukraine or syria or georgia, donald trump has not expressed a willingness to agitate russia. I think thats a good move. Im optimistic about some of these cabinet appointments. I wouldnt call any of them libertarian yet. But on the spectrum of Smaller Government or bigger government, and i know some of them and they are small government type people. Trumps promise to roll back regulations. When i saw you at the rnc. I was there on the floor listening to it. He took a swipe at the World Trade Organization which sort of warmed my heart. Libertarians are for sovereignty and sovereign nations. We dont think we should subject u. S. Citizens to a world government. Kennedy reason is reporting you are being considered for two posts, including energy secretary. What do you think about that. I havent been contacted about that. But if i were contacted about that, i would consider it seriously. I think they need some common sense in the white house as well as in congress. I think i can provide that. Kennedy i think you could, too. I would love to see a voice like yours in that administration. They are filling some of those posts rapidly. And one of the things that is something we are all going to be watching is the meeting next week with tech titans invited to trump tower for a meeting with the president elect. What would you tell donald trump to ask some of the people from Silicon Valley who were pretty much disinterested in a Successful Campaign of his . I dont know what he needs to ask them. I think they are sort of coming hat in hand. None of them were for him. Some of them worked on hillarys campaign. There is more to effect than just Silicon Valley. There is a lot of tech in manufacturing. A lot of tech in a bunch of different sectors. The presumption in the Previous White House is as long as you had google people around you, that you were tech, and thats not necessarily true. There is a lot more to technology than just a few companies on the west coast. Kennedy where do you stand . Should the Government Force Tech Companies to comply with some of the orders when it comes to certain types of speech on social media platforms . The government shouldnt be forcing anybody to do anything. We are getting back to libertarian principles. One issue that has couple in congress is the subject of intellectual property. Whether there should be patents or not. I hold 29 patents and im a libertarian who says patents are property rights. We honor property rights. You have got some companies on the west coast that arent keen on patents. I think that will be interesting to see where donald trump comes down on that. Kennedy well be keeping an eye on you and see if you get the nod to go to trump tower. If you do, wing by here first. I want to personally invite out inauguration. I have a ticket with your name on it. Im going to start dress shopping tomorrow. Let me welcome the party panel into this discussion. Tonights Dagen Mcdowell from th dave smith, host of part of the problem podcast. And tom shillue host of red eye. So we just heard congressman massey talk about donald trump, person of the year. And i want to talk about the titans of tech and this upcoming meeting at trump tower. What do you think the conversation is going to go like . A lot of people who emerge from those meetings are star struck bialek and they have nothing but glowing thing to say . Everybody is turning back. The people who were talking about ar arm ar arm. We should stop talking about everybody in Northern California as being the tech industry. This is a smart guy. I loved listening to that interview. Kennedy hes really bright, and hes have much his heart is in the right place when it comes to limited government and i hope there are people like that who are welcomed into the administration. But i do have concerns and i shared the same concerns over Hillary Clinton is a do with the trump administration. What is the government going to do in terms of these big Tech Companies and our privacy. Trump hasnt from our perspective been on the right side of that issue. I dont know, i do think its interesting. We dont know what trump is going to do. Trump is like Door Number Three president. Do you want Hillary Clinton or whats behind Door Number Three. We all looked at Hillary Clinton and we said well take that door. I am a little bit concerned about privacy issues. I dont think sessions is a friend of civil liberties. Kennedy its the apple case. We are talking about the government trying to force apple to open that iphone under the San Bernardino terrorists. I think tim cook, he was right about that. Protecting the companies. Silicon valley hates donald trump. So it will be hard for them to mask their loathing of him. You think new york city is progressive and left wing and liberal and crying over hillary . Silicon valley is a cauldron of antitrump sentiment. I had people on my facebook wall saying you are killing my children in you vote for trump. He will destroy the future of america. So they have been living in this bubble. The irony of ironies is the Tech Companies make money by disrupting the future. House the greatest disrupter of all, donald trump. Whats interesting is google put out a want ad look for someone to do conservative outreach in washington, d. C. , the job title is conservative outreach and Public Policy partnerships because these Technology Companies have had a free ride and open door policy to the white house for 8 years and they got whatever they wanted. Kennedy they are all part of the same bubble. And they dont realize there are a lot of people who think differently and they are no longer able to share their frustrations and day to day concerns. Uber now tracking you five minutes after you get out of the car. After a right. Speaking of privacy. Thats just when i get into trouble. Five minutes. Kennedy its that fiveminute window. Kennedy the House Homeland Security committee released a Terror Threat snap shot. According to the report the United States facing its highest threat from islamic terrorists since 9 11 stemming from radicalization within the country. Meanwhile the president is downplaying the threat. W we awe attacked isils financial pipeline and we are eak the back of isil. Kennedy if the back is broken, why is the Terror Threat so high. He has done nothing to fight isil. He has done something. He is doing something. Hes droning people and killing people. But i think hes not doing enough or i dont kn wt his approach is. I dont know what to do to deal with isis. I dont know if trumps idea, the mad dog will have an idea. But i think obviously the thing where obama is wrong is hes saying obama we are breaking their back, they are on the run. They are not. You cant say they are not metastasizing and growing very well in many countries. Hes also just protecting himself and his legacy. All hes hoping to do is say a bunch of stuff to keep people distracted so there is not a terrorist attack on his watch before donald trump takes the oath of office. Hes concerned about his legacy which he is lying through his teeth about. I think a lot of republicans give obama cover for this. The truth is obama expand the war on terror and expand the drone program. This is what is amazing the trump moment. You have an opportunity for conservatives to return to where they have always been. The conservative wing of the Republican Party advocated for a noninterventionist policy. We dismissed pat buchanan and russell kirk who warned us not to pursue. Look what we have to show for this war on terror. Its the most failed policy in modern american history. Maybe we can look at this. Where is the one victory in this war on terror . Kennedy you are creating environments where terrorists flourish. There is a blindness and deafness on the part of president obama to the ideological threat. One of the quotes was over the last 8 years no terrorist organization has successfully planned or executed an attack on our homeland. What about the 18 emails between Anwar Al Awlaki and the fort hood shooting. But that was workplace violence. I always look back to hes always been so concerned about optics and how things look. You have a nato ally, belgium, being attacked by radical jihadist terrorists and hes at a baseball game in cuba doing the wave and giving the thumbs up to castro. Kennedy for him its about perception and not reality. He has been a war monger and expand this. And his carelessness in trying to empty out guantanamo, he was never going to get it closed. But instead of giving people due process, he let them go and they returned to the battlefield. And killed americans which we know from people in government in testimony. They have been released, returned to the battlefield and americans have been killed. This all bad policies coming back to haunt us. Kennedy hopefully Thomas Massey is right when he talks about the incoming president being less of an interventionist. The panel returns later. If fundraising levels are any indication, the donald Trump Inaugural Party is shaping upton a big shindig. Theres a lot of places you never want to see 7. 95.

Kennedy they have gone rogue. Some of them, very few of them. But let the legal battle over the presidency begin. Two electors have filed a federal lawsuit challenging the states law requiring them to vote for the winner of the states popular vote as illegal. Hillary won colorado. But the plan is to undermine laws in other states to free up electors. Two republican electors in texas said they will not cast their vote for donald trump when the electors meet up in two weeks. With us now is one of those texas electors. How are you, chris . So, chris, lets talk about some of the issues you have with donald trump personally and politically. I know you have some objections. Is that whats driving your defection . Well, they are not personal issues or professional or political. They are constitutional. During the campaign we had 50 republicans who are experts in Foreign Policy and National Defense say that donald trump would be dangerous if he were president. And we have seen his Foreign Policy acumen tested already by his acceptance or making a call to taiwan. Kennedy how is a call to taiwan unconstitutional. I understand divesting from his businesses and the opinion of certain people. I dont think personal opinion necessarily disqualifies somebody from the presidency. Certainly not constitutionally. But you have a lot of people on both sides of the aisle saying breaking protocol with taiwan not a bad thing when you are talking about a democratically elected president. Im opposed to someone not capable of executing that correctly in office. Kennedy donald trump won enough votes to win the presidency. The Electoral College gave him 306 electoral votes . Do you think we should disband the Electoral College and amended the constitution . No, i do not. But i think it was not devised under any circumstance to be a rubber stamp. Alexander hamilton is clear that it should be empowered to stop people they feel are dangerous. You and i both know that Alexander Hamilton would be disgusted at the kind of chaos that would follow from a presidency being overturned by rogge collectors. He would not approve of this system. Im not sure that that would be his position. Kennedy i contacted a hamiltonian scholar on his issue and i was assured by someone who spent their lifes work learning from Alexander Hamilton that he was all in favorites of a stable government. Im all in favorites of a stable government. But our constitution is clear that the president ial election happens through the Electoral College december 19. If one of the two persons in our system dont get 270 votes, the top three voters are considered by the house of representatives. Im not sure why its quite so scary for all of the people out there screaming. But there is a system in place and its still a smooth transition. Kennedy to what . You are trying to get enough electors to lose their fai as you have to overturn the results of the election . Then what . You are hoping it go to the house of representatives and the house votes for john kasich . The ultimate outcome for me is to vote for someone with whom im comfortable who doesnt demagogue racial groups and doesnt have a conflict of tints across the board. Kennedy i didnt vote for donald trump and that may be worth nothing and thats fine. But next week hes holding a press conference talking about divesting himself of his business. But the last questions you raised are questions that should have been sold more forcefully to voters and they are not necessarily a question of constitutionality or whether this person is qualified for the presidency. Qualification an incredibly subjective thing and treating it likes its an objective criteria is doing a disservice to the tradition you have sworn to uphold and the vote horse placed a faith in the system. Too we are going to disagree on that part. Im going for the deliberative process. If you look at backlash i received, no one would walk into that willingly if their convictions werent strong. Kennedy if its hamilton you are following, buy a couple tickets to the musical. It might help. Kimberly gill spoil joins me in moments. Moments. Please stay here.

Trump has been waging war on twitter for years as well. This morning mal matt lauer askf hes going to lay off a little bit. I think i am restrained. I get out faster than a press release and more honestly than dealing with dishonest reporters. Kennedy in other words, hes not going to quit twitter. Why should he . Kimberly gill spoil joins us.
