2026 Libertarian National Convention

Added: 2026-05-23

[00:00:06]Hey Brett. Arizona's uh uh Hey folks, if you could take your seat.

[00:00:14]So, one of the things we'd like to do this weekend if there are elected officials or candidates for office that would like to introduce our keynotes because we've already shouted to people, but uh reach out to me and we've got about a half a dozen keynotes until the next air show.

[00:00:31]So, folks, if we could take our seats.

[00:00:40]I'd like to take this moment to introduce Elizabeth Fitzgibbon.

[00:00:44]She is the appointed choice, the endorsed choice for the Libertarian Party of Wisconsin for the United States Congress.

[00:00:55]Elizabeth?

[00:00:58]Hello everyone. Uh my name's Elizabeth Fitzgibbon, and I'm running for Congress in Wisconsin's 6th District.

[00:01:07]Thank you.

[00:01:08]>> [applause] >> The catalyst for my run is rather unusual. I have a landmark family law case that I took to the US Supreme Court, and I have two federal district civil right lawsuits out against a local corrupt judge. So, I'm all about exposing the fraud and corruption of the system and ensuring actual transparency and accountability.

[00:01:30]Um so, the premise of my campaign then is to fix the corrupt domestic relations system that's destroying American families.

[00:01:40]So, if you'd like to learn more about my case or about my campaign, you can visit my website fitzgibbonforcongress.org.

[00:01:49]And now I'd like to introduce our guest speaker.

[00:01:53]Ammon Bundy is an activist known for his advocacy on individual rights, property rights, and resistance to federal overreach. He first gained national attention during disputes between ranchers and federal land management agencies in the American West, including the 2014 Bundy Ranch Standoff and the 2016 occupation of the Malheur National Wildlife Refuge in Oregon.

[00:02:19]Bundy has since continued to organize grassroots movements focused on civil liberties, property rights, and local control.

[00:02:28]He founded the People's Rights Network, a decentralized activist organization formed to oppose government policies perceived to violate individual freedoms.

[00:02:38]Through organizing, speaking, and political campaigns, including a run for governor of Idaho, Bundy remains an influential figure in debates over federal power, local sovereignty, and citizen activism.

[00:02:54]Sorry. Thank you.

[00:02:57]>> [applause] >> All right, I have the gavel here, so you want to do any business, I can I can Anybody want to pass anything, let me know. I got it right here.

[00:03:15]Um thank you for uh I guess giving me the opportunity to speak to you.

[00:03:22]Uh I had a gentleman come up to me Yeah, well, I think he was a gentleman anyway.

[00:03:26]Yeah, he came up to me and he said uh He said that he How do I like express myself to other people or make them think that I'm not crazy, cuz that's what the media has already already skewed. I said, "Well, I just get in front of people and talk to them and and let them know that I'm not going to take over their federal buildings or anything like that." So, but I have been um involved in a lot of things. My family's been a lot involved in a lot of things.

[00:03:57]As you may or may not know, I grew up on a ranch in Southern Nevada, in the middle of the Mojave Desert.

[00:04:04]And uh I mean, I I grew up there. I was pretty much a river rat.

[00:04:11]And uh grew up on that ranch and loved it and enjoyed it. And I I had a lot of freedoms that most people don't get to experience growing up.

[00:04:22]Uh I enjoyed the land. I enjoyed working on the ranch.

[00:04:26]And uh I thought it was really a wonderful way to grow up and way to live. And I was taught correct principles.

[00:04:33]I was taught how to work. I was taught how to uh love the Lord. I was taught how to uh respect and and and enjoy other people around me.

[00:04:44]And mostly those teachings came from my father.

[00:04:47]And then when I was um married for a few years and had a few kids, I guess most of my kids all of a sudden, the federal government decided that we
