Why More People Identify as Libertarian: Q&A with Freedomworks' David Kirby

Views:918
@ReasonVids

"We've noticed in the last fifteen months an uptick in the number of people who are actually self identifying as libertarian," says Freedomworks' David Kirby.

Kirby sat down with Reason magazine's Editor-in-Chief Matt Welch to talk about why more people describe themselves as libertarian, how politicians like Senator Rand Paul and Congressman Justin Amash have come to think of themselves as libertarian and whether Glenn Beck calling himself libertarian is a good thing.

Held each July in Las Vegas, Freedom Fest is attended by around 2,000 limited-government enthusiasts and libertarians. Reason TV spoke with over two dozen speakers and attendees and will be releasing interviews over the coming weeks. Go here for an ever-growing playlist of this year's interviews.

About 6:16 minutes.

Produced by Paul Detrick. Camera by Detrick and Tracy Oppenheimer.
