Chase Oliver is the Libertarian Party’s 2024 nominee for U.S. President. In this episode, we get his take on solving the border crisis, boosting the economy, and managing the threat of China and other adversaries.

“Eventually, a lot of these countries do end up overthrowing their terrible, autocratic governments, and when they look for an example of what they want to go to, we need to be that shining beacon for them to look at. This is what free speech can give us: the most prosperous and powerful economy in the world, because ideas are allowed to spread," says Mr. Oliver.

"I fear what happens if we stop being the best and most free and prosperous nation in the world, because that's what will allow China to truly ascend, is if we step away from our principles and our values. If we hold true to those, there's nothing China can do to stop us because we're going to be a more powerful economy, a more powerful military, and a more powerful cultural force around the world."

Mr. Oliver proposes what he calls a "21st century Ellis Island" in order to streamline the process of migration into the United States.

"99 percent of people just want to come here and work, get a job, make some money, and possibly take that money back home with them to their family during the offseason if they're in agriculture. We need to facilitate that through a 21st-century Ellis Island that basically says, if you're coming here, come through a port of entry. Submit yourself to a background check and health check to make sure you're all good to go if you are coming, and get to work. When we do that, we streamline the process of getting those peaceful workers right through the port of entry. And we can really laser focus our law enforcement on those who are trafficking human beings for the purposes of labor or sexual exploitation, or for those who bring fentanyl, in order to basically sell it as Xanax," explains Mr. Oliver.
