FreedomWorks’ Matt Kibbe: Libertarians Should Take Over the GOP

“Freedomworks’ Matt Kibbe: Libertarians should take over
the GOP,” produced by Nick Gillespie and Amanda Winkler. About 20
minutes.

Original release date was April 29, 2014. Original writeup is
below.

“One of the reasons you’re seeing so many people interested in
libertarian ideas is the failure of the Republicans, the failure of
the Democrats, but also the ability to go get the information for
yourself: You’re not waiting for the [parties] to tell you what you
think anymore,” says Matt Kibbe president of FreedomWorks and
author of the new book Don’t Hurt People and Don’t Take Their
Stuff: A Libertarian Manifesto.

The New York Times bestseller defends the importance of
individual liberties while providing a political-action plan to
shrink the size and scope of the federal government.

A former Capitol Hill staffer, Kibbe says there’s increasingly
common ground between libertarians and progressives in the
Democratic Party on issues such as surveillance and privacy. But he
thinks small-government activists have a better shot at
infiltrating the GOP.

“The biggest window for libertarians is not to create a third
party but to actually take-over the Republican Party.”

Kibbe sat down with Reason TV’s Nick Gillespie to discuss the
future of libertarianism and the Republicans, necessary government
spending cuts, and what it means to be young in America
today. 

About 20 minutes.

Camera by Joshua Swain and Jim Epstein. Edited by Amanda
Winkler.
