Kennedy JR.: “That’s something that we’re looking at. We have a really good relationship with the libertarian party. I will be speaking at the California libertarian party convention, I think it is next week or maybe in a couple of weeks. We’re talking about me speaking in New York, but, you know, so that is — and we have our own political party now in six states, which have rules that make that — give us an advantage to have our own political party. We’re not going to have a problem getting on the ballot in all the states.”

SMERCONISH: “I asked you the question because Angela mccard willle, he the libertarian party. Do we have the sound of this? Tell me quickly. I want to play something for the audience, the head of the libertarian party on my radio show in the fall. Roll it.”

MCARDLE: “We’ve had a lot of good conversations and we’re on good terms and I respect his decision to want to go independent. The libertarians really admire the strong position he took against mandates and lockdowns, and so we’re going to stay on friendly terms and see what happens.”

SMERCONISH: “Bobby, make some news. It sounded to me like she is welcoming you to come in and ask for their ballot position.”

Kennedy JR.: “Yeah, well, we are talking to the libertarian party, and I feel very comfortable with most of the values of the libertarian party. You know, like I say, we have good relationships. I am talking regularly to libertarian groups. We will continue to do those talks. I can’t give you a headline news story today, Michael.”
