It's not a matter -- -- did you know that nineteen states have banned the happy hours at bars you Todd being the most recent.

And -- today word was at New York City Mayor Bloomberg was gonna outlaw happy hours here made mr.

Bloomberg -- he says it's not true.

It out the other new book know they can't -- government fails an individual succeed John stops.

It all I I know it's ridiculous because you then happy -- -- just gonna give it another name and haven't missed another promotion or something have a happy day lower -- -- they can have a we're gleeful at this time.

You know -- -- -- but -- -- the price discount.

-- the thing I and I and I think it's foolish to ban happy -- have to say good would have my son or daughter were killed by a drunk driver who got loaded in a bar.

I would -- the bar.

I would and I am not a big Suh guy and more of that stuff but I would go after the person.

The bartender and the establishment that.

You don't.

Serve them enough to be inebriated words he couldn't tell what -- he didn't know the guy was dry out they have to do that though I would I would put PI is on there I'd find out how he's behaving in -- bar duel that because I don't believe.

That you should anyone should.

And contribute to somebody else's intoxication in my wrong.

Bartenders contribute to people's intoxication all the time shouldn't.

Bishop rail line they should be a lot we don't serve too intoxicated people do it on airlines to give a couple of drinks and if they figure buzz that's it.

I think it's that's where it should be rarely stop people from.

Picking on the -- we have enough laws already America grew the fastest and did the best when these were our laws this is the constitution.

And the declaration of independence -- this thin -- it would -- a drunk driving back anchors who weren't any cars Stossel you're seeing is these games you're writing and the wrong course and parents should the danger now is heightened because of the technology in the access that we have but big things doesn't help that they've done studies now on the big happy -- bands and found no difference I'm not I'm not -- with a happy -- ban but I do believe that all establishment to serve alcohol and this is my thing about dope -- to read you -- -- -- it's like it you know it's a crime to do that.

Somebody could die because of which -- giving them.

But I know -- situation like crap but that it there's -- to be -- greater good here and I think that the all the -- should say you know.

Win is win that's it.

-- fatal conceit is that you could pass a law -- have a rule.

That'll just make these things better and that's why go around the country with my guess I'm I don't know if they can -- at some and some parts of that and some points or not.

Look this is like the smoking ban you know used municipalities.

All over the United States have now banned smoking.

In public places I think that's a good thing in restaurants not to have somebody blowing a smoke and to my lasagna I think that's fine on I wanna be protected from that.

I like it -- -- -- the smell smoke but can't the smokers have some bars what about freedom of association.

We're taking away the rights of the minority.

All right -- -- do you think they should have special bars just -- people wanna get lung -- like a cancer in.

-- kind of thing you're good call yeah that first of all secondhand smoke is that that there is the evidence is so thin that it hurts people.

And yes he ought to be here right if you want to get together with smokers if the bar owner wants to smoke and welcome smokers tis proper good -- maybe they should have a big display we welcome smokers and then you have the trust of the winners.

-- all right I'm not I'm not a fanatic here and I and I understand a political correctness is saying this that the other thing.

But I do believe -- smoking is bad it's -- But on an airplane and I don't want people smoke -- on -- -- -- captured in there smokers all over the place go adults smoke that's it right.

Right right.

I don't -- -- might play but shouldn't one airline have a right to say yeah.

Well smoker you start -- it's not allow.

YouTube started smoking airline I don't know -- they can't carry some of them have -- -- I don't know I think air America it's all -- Think that's what the laws of safety think -- drop the cigarette and he gets on fire analyze that should be my choice all right.

See you all you basically say your philosophy is that some people can banned restaurants.

-- been smoking but others should have the right to do it just put -- -- time we allow smokers here.

In your restaurant you ought to be able to bands.

Anything's been eating if you want if you -- probably can't do that I mean you have a restaurant somebody wants -- you don't want peppers and a command.

They got to commit they got to commend you can keep messenger restaurant that he should be able to make whatever -- you with your property you invested the money you want everyone to stand on their head in the restaurant.

You make that deal with people are right now you have leprosy going to the restaurant but V -- -- -- You know that's just the way it is -- just so everybody buys book -- everybody become libertarians that's what we want -- yes yeah you and Ron Paul.
