Steve kroft when you look at your president ial ballot in november, somewhere below the democratic and republican lines, you will find the Libertarian Party and the green party. But for many voters this year, they might as well read, none of the above. In a race that features the most unpopular democratic and Republican Party choices in and donald trump. And for the first time in 16 years, third parties could well determine the outcome of the election. Right now, of the two alternatives, the Libertarian Party has the most support and is the only one on the ballot in all 50 states. The ticket of gary johnson and bill weld is currently favored by about 8 or 9 of the electorate, even though 70 of the voters dont know who johnson and weld are. We thought it was time to give you a primer. If you dont recognize them, the tall guy on the left is Vice President ial candidate bill weld. The shorter one is former new mexico governor and president ial nominee gary johnson. Right now, they can stroll through a park unmolested by the press and the public. Their rallies usually attract only a few hundred people. But they can still make some noise, and are not without bill weld the next president of the United States, gary johnson. Gary johnson you rock. You rock. Thank you. Kroft why are you doing this . Johnson i think that we would do a really good job. Weld i feel its something of a patriotic duty, given how the election season is unfolding. We feel a responsibility to offer the country sort of a sober, sensible alternative. Johnson has life in this country ever been better . Kroft they are not political neophytes. Each one won two terms as republican governors in heavily democratic states. Do you really think you have a chance to win . Johnson neither of us would be doing this if we didnt think that that was a possibility. Kroft let me be a little skeptical here. I mean, right now, the people weld we expected no less. laughs kroft right. Right, yeah. The people that do this for a living, to try and do polling, and Public Opinion surveys and chances at about less than 1 , less than 1 . Johnson i think that donald trump started out that way. And i wouldve given him that i wouldve given him that percentage at the very start. But as crazy as this election season is, i think it could be the ultimate crazy, and that is, is that the two of us actually do get elected. Kroft right. And how does that happen . Johnson well, president ial debates a third alternative, 70 of america doesnt even know who we are. And yet, we exist. I think theres a lot of opportunity here. And theres still a lot of time left. Weld we are, in a way, breaking a Glass Ceiling kroft theyre hoping to get a place in at least one of the president ial debates, but right now they dont meet the threshold of 15 in the national polls. Are you running against a two party system . Johnson absolutely. Weld absolutely. Johnson and i and i do kroft so you see yourself as a protest vote . Johnson no way. I think a conciliatory vote. Look this is this is how we want to come together. Weld it happens, steve, if people do think for themselves and focus on the choices available, because the polling shows that nationally, people do tend to agree with our approach. As gary sometimes says, youre a libertarian. You just dont know it yet. Lets bring back liberty. Kroft the libertarians were founded 45 years ago, as an off shoot of the republicans. They tend to be fiscally conservative and social liberals who want the federal government out of their pockets, out of their schools, out of their computers, and out of their bedrooms. So, the hats are all 25. Kroft they support the right to bear arms, even assault weapons. But they also believe women have the right to an abortion, gays have the right to marry, and adults have the right to smoke pot. Anybody looking for a Bumper Sticker . Kroft they oppose almost constitution, including Social Security and medicare and the regulatory agencies. Youre making yourself seem like mainstream candidates. But in fact, you know, your positions and the positions of the party arent mainstream, you know. Youre for phasing out medicare. Youre for doing away with private Health Insurance as a way to bring down medical costs. Youre talking about, abolishing the i. R. S. And imposing a 29 or 28 sales tax, essentially a sales tax. You cat talk about eliminating the department of Homeland Security. I mean, these arent exactly mainstream opinions. Johnson well, what you can count on the two of us to provide is consistency. Were going to always be consistent in looking for lower taxes. And much of what you cite is the libertarian platform, which, you know, we are the libertarian nominees for president and Vice President. We do believe in a safety net. But there has to be reforms for medicaid and medicare and Social Security. And if were going to put our heads in the sand, if we say were going to do nothing in any of these areas, its a fiscal cliff. Weld and nobody can tell me that no changes are necessary in washington. Those bozos think that unless the appropriation of every single account goes up 5 , they call that a cut. Well, thats not how we approached our state budgets. And thats not what we would do in washington, either. People want to do away with the department of Homeland Security . Johnson yeah. laughs i do. I do. I think theres a real skepticism i mean, really, we have the f. B. I. Why another agency . I mean and all these Homeland Security cars driving around these days, what are they doing . Weld there are functions that youd have to retain and make sure they were attended to. But therere some who remind me of the, you know, muddled bureaucracy in washington that nobody can quite tell you why theyre essential. Kroft they also want to abolish the departments of education, commerce and housing and urban development. They want to cut the Defense Budget by around 20 and get american troops out of korea. As theyve said, they dont agree with their party on everything sometimes they dont even agree with each other. Gary johnson earned a fortune in construction before making his political name as the first governor to ever advocate the legalization of marijuana, and until earlier this year, he was c. E. O. Of a ma kroft until recently, you were a consumer johnson thats correct kroft of marijuana. Johnson one of 100 million americans who have consumed marijuana. I am i am guilty. The unforgivable in life, hypocrisy, saying one thing and doing another telling the truth i hope more than anything, im credited here with telling the truth. Kroft but youre not using marijuana now . Johnson im not. Weld running on the live free or die, baby, you know what they say. Kroft former Massachusetts Governor bill weld is a card carrying member of the eastern establishment, whose libertarian bonafides are still questioned by the true believers. Until his nomination in may, he was a member of the nearly extinct political species known as moderate republicans. You werent a libertarian until a couple of months ago. Weld well, i considered myself a small l libertarian and people called me the libertarian republican. Kroft they run a frugal, lowkey campaign in jeans and sneakers and keep a very loose schedule that can change hourly. When we were with them, their version of a president ial limousine was a rented red toyota. Do you have a motorcade . Weld no. We dont have a motorcade. Kroft you stop for red lights . Johnson we do stop for red lights. Kroft do you have a Campaign Plane . Weld we dont have a Campaign Plane. Johnson no. No, we dont. Kroft do you have a Campaign Headquarters . Weld yes. Johnson yes, we do. But its but if you went to the Campaign Headquarters, you wouldnt find anybody there because this is you know, this is social media. Come on, get selfie get selfie ready kroft they have a big presence on the internet, and claim to have 50 million followers most of them young people. Johnson and weld are good friends and say they plan to run a copresidency sharing the same staff. On the campaign trail, they often stay at each others homes. Theyve tried just about in hopes that their campaign would go viral. And for a while, ten days ago, it did. Willie geist governor, good to have you with us. Kroft but it was the wrong kind, when johnson was unable to identify aleppo as the center of the humanitarian crisis in syria. Mike barnicle aleppo. Johnson and what is aleppo . Barnicle youre kidding. Johnson no. Kroft youve been on the front page a lot this month. You made a big splash. And it was a belly flop. Tell me about aleppo. I mean, how did that happen . Johnson well, the i i blame no one but myself. I understand the underlying policy. Kroft people have said, this guys not qualified to be president. He doesnt know what aleppo is. How do you react to that . Johnson well that that i am human. I have a filter. And it starts with honesty. It starts with the truth. It starts with transparency, and i would serve as president in that capacity. En the first thing that came into my mind was, this is an acronym. Aleppo american, l kroft did it sound familiar to you . Johnson well, it didnt. Or i think i. But, but look, i do not, in any way, want to make an excuse for myself. You know, so many people have said, look, 90 of america doesnt know aleppo. Well, 90 of america is not running for president of the United States. Weld but at the at the end of the day, this is just my view, is, aleppo is a very important place name. But its a place name. Does that mean theyre disqualified from running for president . I mean, youd have very few people at the debates if that sort of thing was a disqualify disqualification to run. Johnson thanks, bill. But nonetheless laughs look, we are running for president and Vice President. Kroft youre youre acknowledging that your candidacy has some flaws. Johnson as do all candidacies. But i think kroft but nobody i i im trying to remember a that. Johnson well, that is the difference here. Thats thats what youre going to buy into is, is that it will be transparent. And theres no quicker way to fix mistakes than actually acknowledging them in the first place. Kroft do you do you have Foreign Policy advisors . Johnson well, certainly. Kroft do you have military strategists . Weld i wouldnt quite say that, but, people that have worked for me, and alongside me in Foreign Policy area. Johnson and what your kroft do you have any idea who you would appoint secretary kroft weld says he has a short list of three or four candidates in mind, but he didnt want to name them. Johnson the country is in really deep trouble. Kroft when johnson ran for president four years ago on the libertarian ticket, he drew just 1 of the vote. This time, there is considerably more momentum and much higher expectations. Whats changed . Johnson well, a lot of it has to do with trump and clinton being as polarizing as they are. Ive always said this, tongue if mickey mouse were the third name on any poll, mickey would be at 30 because mickeys a known commodity. But mickeys not on the ballot in all 50 states. And i think that when we get known 70 of america right now doesnt even know who we are. Kroft even if you are not in the debates, you are going to alter the course of this election. Weld youre right, steve. Were going to alter the course of this election, whether or not were in the debates. Guess what that influence is going to be thats very hard very hard to predict. Kroft right now theyre not even close to winning a single electoral vote, but they already have enough support to tip the scales to either clinton or trump in almost every battleground state. Who are you taking votes from . Weld i think at the end of the day, itll be more likely from trump than from clinton. Other people say, no, we have this big appeal to the millennials, so itll be more from clinton than trump. Kroft this is my observation youre much more antagonistic towards donald trump than you are towards mrs. Clinton. Johnson oh, no weld you mustve done well in school. Johnson maybe. That may be bills, bills outlook. But for me, this is, this is both sides. This is man, this is both barrels. And im not going to lose one minute of sleep ruining this two Party Monopoly that is going on. I i think they are dinosaurs. And i think were the comet in this whole equation. And im im glad for it. Kroft the latest cbs News New York times poll of likely voters Shows Hillary clinton leading donald trump by two Percentage Points in a head to head race. But when the libertarians and the green party are added to the poll, clinton and trump are in a dead heat. The libertarians have other surprising things to say about the november election.
