As a guest Tuesday on the CNBC show Futures Now, Ron Paul predicted that American voters, “as we get closer to the election,” will be motivated by “who they hate the most” to make a choice between the Republican and Democratic presidential nominees instead of choosing the Libertarian Party alternative. Paul, who notes that he has been through this process himself as the 1988 Libertarian nominee, also says that this year’s Libertarian presidential ticket is presenting itself with “mostly Republican viewpoints” instead of a message that would really appeal to people contemplating voting third party.

The Ron Paul Institute for Peace and Prosperity welcomes you to Five Minutes Five Issues.
Starting in five four three two one.
In the last three minutes of his 45-minute Tuesday interview on the C-SPAN Washington Journal call-in show, Ron Paul Institute Chairman Ron Paul made a brief and resolute statement regarding individual rights. The statement underlies much of Paul’s discussion during the program of matters ranging from the United States governments’ foreign interventions to the Federal Reserve to search and seizure abuses.
Speaking earlier this month with host John Stossel on Fox Business, former United States House of Representatives Member and presidential candidate Ron Paul said that Americans need a second party rather than a third party. Paul elaborates that the Republicans and Democrats in charge “work together all the time” as if they are in one party instead of two. Focusing on foreign policy, Paul points to the coalition of “hawkish Democrats and also neocon Republicans” in favor of war as an example of the effective one-party system.
In the interview, Paul also assesses that the Libertarian presidential ticket is not providing a compelling alternative to this one-party rule and that Libertarian vice-presidential nominee Bill Weld “is hardly a libertarian.”
Suffolk County, New York police arrested Edward Perkowski on Thursday after the police allegedly found in a raid of his home items including tens of thousands of dollars in cash, several guns and knives, ammunition, a bit of marijuana and illegal mushrooms, and some bomb-making instructions. Oh yeah, the town of Brookhaven condemned Perkowski’s house to boot. This appears to be yet another example of a government cracking down on people for nonviolent actions. In this case we have a convergence of the wars on cash, guns, and drugs, as well as government’s intolerance of free speech.
Here is another important aspect of this story: Suffolk County Police Commissioner Tim Sini is stirring up fear that Perkowski and his brother Sean, who was also arrested, are dangerous because they are Nazis. The brothers might even have been planning a mass killing like we saw in Orlando, Florida last week, Sini suggests.

On the heels of the mass shooting in Orlando, Florida early Sunday morning, the media reports are coming out again of there being hundreds of mass shootings a year in America. For example, we have this headline at Vox: “After Sandy Hook we said never again. And then we let 998 mass shootings happen.” But, the truth is that the number of mass shootings in America is much, much less.

In 2009, Fox News Senior Judicial Analyst and former New Jersey state Judge Andrew Napolitano launched on the internet his interview and commentary show Freedom Watch. The next year, Napolitano’s show of the same name began a television run on Fox Business. The show’s run ended in 2012.
Since then, Napolitano has kept busy with many activities including writing books; speaking around the country; appearing frequently as an interviewee, and on occasion as a guest host, on Fox News and Fox Business shows; and making short “Judge Napolitano’s Chambers” video editorials for the Fox News website. Still, many people have missed, over the last few years, Napolitano hosting his own show.
Well, it looks like Freedom Watch is back in a new iteration. On Tuesday, Fox News posted on its website a six-minute Freedom Watch episode in which host Napolitano interviews political commentator and radio talk show host Alan Colmes, The interview is focused on whether Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) should continue his quest for the Democratic presidential nomination. Napolitano suggests the answer is “yes.” Colmes disagrees.
