I've interviewed Gary Johnson. I think he is a decent guy and he was a pretty good governor, actually, but he was a terrible presidential candidate. Forgetting he doesn't know Aleppo and this and that, I knew he would have gotten mauled no matter what. I actually publicly supported him because my feeling was, "Hey, let's just get this guy on stage one time. Trump's going to beat him senseless. And Hillary will whack him on the other side with facts or, whatever it is that Hillary does with people." But I wanted for a moment, to let there be one applause line for a libertarian. I thought that would be good. And then unfortunately he didn't get in. And then in this past election, I had Jo Jorgensen on my show and she flat-out asked me if I was going to vote for her, which was a very bad thing for a guest to do, because I said, "no."
