Episode 105: Libertarian Gubernatorial Candidate Kaiser Leib

This week, we continue to hear from the candidates running to be Montana’s next governor. Libertarian Kaiser Leib worked as a software developer before starting his stand up comedy production company in Helena. We’ll talk today about how he views taxation, transgender rights, and climate change and how tangible libertarian ideals really are. After last week’s presidential debate, it was interesting to hear what the inner structures of the libertarian party look like. Leib speaks to the question of what political parties should be, commenting that when the libertarian party focuses on winning elections, they compromise their message.

I don’t have anything scheduled regarding the Biden campaign and its struggles after last Thursday’s debate, but if you have any questions or interview recommendations, please reach out. Also check out reporting from past News Nerds guests including the NYTimes's Peter Baker.

We have reached out to Governor Greg Gianforte, the Republican candidate, and continue to ask for an interview.
