What Would Libertarians Do?: A Conversation with Matt Welch & Nick Gillespie at SF's Commonwealth Club
In late July, Matt Welch and I appeared at San Francisco's legendary Commonwealth Club as part of the group's In Forum program. We were interviewed by San Francisco Chronicle political reporter Joe Garofoli about contemporary politics, the libertarian perspective, and our new book The Declaration of Independents in front of about 125 people.
It's a fun and lively discussion and well worth a watch and/or a listen (go here for a podcast version).
