Update 6:18 pm - Watch here.

If there aren't going to be any adults in the room on tonight's presidential debate stage, then the adult White House aspirants might as well get a room of their own. And indeed that's what's happening tonight at 6 p.m. ET after 6 p.m. ET as Libertarian Party nominees Gary Johnson and William Weld answer questions for a half-hour on Facebook Live, 30 or so miles away from where Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump will be finalizing their debate prep.

I will be moderating the proceedings, which means mixing my own questions with those of viewers. You can submit questions and watch the debate on the main Gary Johnson Facebook page, and also watch on Reason's Facebook page, and hopefully right here at Hit & Run.

To whet your appetite, here are links to our Facebook Live interviews with Johnson outside of the Republican National Convention, and at the Democratic National Convention with both Johnson and Weld. Below, enjoy Nick Gillespie's Reason TV interview with the ticket at FreedomFest in mid-July. And in the latest issue of the print magazine (subscribe today!), you can read an edited transcript from those and other conversations.

Start your day with Reason. Get a daily brief of the most important stories and trends every weekday morning when you subscribe to Reason Roundup.
