Transcripts

they they'll destroy everything in the

physical world but the one thing they're

really talented at is occupying the

moral High Ground in an unjustified way

is flying into such a hysterical frenzy

that they intimidate people into

repeating their slogans and I do think

if we're going to reclaim our Humanity

from people who would turn us into

slaves one of the first things we need

to say is I control what I think and

what I say I could have my own opinions

and by the way I don't have to have an

opinion I don't have an opinion on that

it's not important to me it's okay to

say that your priorities don't have to

be mine mine don't have to be yours and

if they do that I'm no longer a free

person I'm a slave you consider me

subhuman I'm like your dog you can you

can tell me what to care about what to

eat but as a free man no I I don't have

to share your priorities I would never

pretend to be the voice of the working

class and I feel like we're in a moment

where things are moving south at high

speed

yesly the demographic replacement

American citizens being replaced by

foreigners who are being encouraged to

go and to the military let's let's hand

them we don't know who they are they

don't know anything about the United

States where do you think that's going

all I don't understand this weird

externalizing process of emotion that

happens for a lot of well-educated

Americans where they they don't they're

not mad about what's happening around

them they're mad about what's happening

in some country they've never been to

it's like what is that what is that and

I and the last thing I'll say is I've

noticed that a lot of the most

passionate sort of advocates for this

idea that you know the only problems are

abroad and we need to spend all of our

money on those problems are people with

very weird and Hollow personal lives I

I'm sorry I'm not I want to be mean I'm

just being honest very dishonest

personal lives creepy personal lives

unsettled inside like a normal person in

this and all countries wants like I want

to have dinner with my wife and play

with my dogs and see my kids grow up and

have grandchildren and I want my

neighborhood to be safe and I want my

friends to be happy and I want you know

what I mean like those are the kind of

cor and concerns for most people the one

thing they're really good at they're not

good at engineering or building anything

even preserving what our ancestors

handed Us in New York City for example

my motive comes from not and I actually

now live in a in a working class area

and I love the people there but I'm not

that's not my world I'm motivated by my

loathing of the people in charge the one

thing I know a lot about are the people

who populate the ruling class because I

spent my whole life with them I'm not

against ruling classes every society has

one someone's got to be in charge

there's always an elect that runs

everything there always brahin okay

always and there always will be so not

against it I'm not a populist in that

sense I'm just against incompetent

selfish nasty stupid people being in

charge and that's exactly who we have

and I'm so mad about it because I know

exactly who they are and I know that and

I know them all and I know I live next

to them my whole life 35 years in DC so

it's like I'm not fooled by that oh well

I you know we're I went to Harvard and

you know then HBS and I'm at the you

know I spoke at Aspen the summer it's

like I know how mediocre that is cuz

I've been around it my my whole life so

I'm just not impressed I don't want

anything from them at all I'm not rich I

have enough so it's like I I'm just in

this weird position where I know exactly

who they are I don't want their stupid

little merit badges I couldn't have more

contempt for them and I'm old enough now

that like why not just say it right and

I am and I just don't I just don't care

I'm going to keep saying it I think it's

really important to create a hierarchy

of importance just in life and in public

policy and just every sphere of life

like decide what's most important what

do I do first and my smartest friend my

wisest friend who's been really

successful um just because he's wise

always says look it it comes down to

Food Water Energy you know the countries

rise and fall on the base of food water

energy and every time he talks like that

he talks in terms of fundamentals like

what actually matters and so I just

think if you want to make the country

better focus on the big things let's

make sure the power grid Works let's

make sure the military is not

politicized and used against the

population like let's just start there

and those are the things that

conservatives just miss because they're

off on all this other stuff no no our

econom is dominated by monopolies but

the greatest of all monopolies is the

federal

Monopoly which overseas and controls all

the other monopolies so it's like it's

really substantially about the money

it's not ideological it's about the

money and if someone controls the

Federal Government I mean at this point

it's the most powerful organization in

human history like it's kind of hard

to it's kind of hard to fight that in

the case of trump I I know the answer

there they rided Marl

they indicted him on charges like and I

felt that in myself too even I was like

come on come on you know like whatever

you think of trump and I agreed with his

immigration views I really like Trump

personally I think he's hilarious and

interesting which he is but it's like

okay there a lot of people in this

country let's let's get some you know

let's have a at very least like let's

have a real debate the second they

raided maralago on a documents charge as

someone from DC I was like I know a lot

about classification and all that stuff

and been around it a lot that's so

absurd that I was like now it's not

about Trump it's about our system

continuing like if you can take out a

presidential candidate on a fake charge

use the justice system to take the guy

out of the race then we don't have a

representative democracy anymore and and

I think a lot of Republican voters felt

that way if they hadn't indicted him I'm

not sure he would be the nominee it's

just crazy this is happening in front of

all of us and then it becomes like at

that point it's not about Joe Biden it's

not about Donald Trump it's about

preserving a system which has worked not

perfectly but pretty freaking well for

250 years I know you don't like Trump I

get it let's not destroy that system

like we can handle another four years of

trump I think we can so all calm down

what we can't handle is a country whose

political system is run by the justice

department like that is just you're

freaking

Ecuador at that point you can't have

censorship in a democracy by definition

here's how it works the people rule they

vote for representatives to carry their

agenda to the capital city and get it

enacted that's how they're in charge and

then every few years they get to

reassess the performance of those people

in an election in order to do that they

need a they need access unfettered

access to

information and no one particularly not

people who are already power is allowed

to tell them what information they can

have they have to have all information

that they want whether the people in

charge want it or don't want it or think

it's true or think it's false it doesn't

matter and the second you don't have

that you don't have a democracy it's not

a free election period and that's very

clear in other countries I guess but

it's not clear here so but I would say

it's this

election that I it took me a while to

come to this but it's this election

that's the referendum on Democracy Biden

is scile he's literally scile he can't

talk he can't walk the whole world knows

that leave our borders people are you

know everybody everybody in the world

knows it like who would vote for a scile

man he's lit he literally can't talk and

nobody I've ever met thinks he's running

the US government cuz he's not and I

guess it shows how dumb I am because

they've been doing that for many

years I mean the guy who took out mosc

lived on my street

one of the Roosevelt CI officer so I

mean again I would grew up around this

stuff but

um I never really thought I never

reached the obvious conclusion which is

that if the US government subverts

democracy in other countries in the name

of democracy it will over time subvert

democracy in my country why wouldn't

it that is the corruption is like core

it's at the root of it no country has

freedom of speech other than us Canada

doesn't have it Great Britain definitely

doesn't have it France Netherlands these

are countries I spend a lot of time in

and Russia certainly doesn't have it so

that's why I don't live there I'm just

saying our sanctions don't work that's

all I was saying and we don't have to

live like animals we can live with

dignity even the Russians can do it

that's kind of what I was saying and no

it's not a feature of dictatorship

that's the most I think discouraging and

most dishonest line by people like John

Stewart who really are trying to prepare

the population for accepting a lot less

everyone's afraid in this country

they're going to be shut down by the

tech oligarchs or have the FBI show up

at their houses or go to jail and people

are legit afraid of that in the United

States and my feeling is so like show a

little courage like what is it worth to

you for your grandchildren to live in a

free prosperous country it should be

worth more than your comfort efort

that's how I feel but I know press

Freedom when I see it I try to practice

it which is saying what you think is

true correcting yourself when you've

been shown to be wrong as I have many

times um being as honest as you can be

all the time and not being afraid and

those are wholly absent in my country

wholly absent people are afraid in the

news business I would know since I spent

my life working there and they're afraid

to tell the truth they're under an

enormous amount of pressure and a lot of

them have little kids and mortgages I've

been there so I have sympathy but they

go along with things like you would you

are not allowed if you stand up at any

cable channel any cable channel in the

United States and say wait a second

obviously being thrown into prison is

much worse than losing your job I've

been fired a number of times for saying

what I think by the way um and it's fine

I've enjoyed it I don't mind being fired

it's I've always become a better person

after it

happened but it is one measurement of

Freedom if you know if you have the

theoretical right to do something but no

practical ability to do it do you have

the right to do it and the answer is not

really actually I've been in cable news

for 9 years so in the before 2004 we

would say something on television and

then it would kind of it would be lost

like people could claim they heard it

but you'd have to go to the I think the

University of Tennessee at Knoxville

archives to get it suddenly everything

we said would live forever on the

internet which is good by the way it's

not bad but it was a big change for me

and I just couldn't believe how widely

that was discussed at the time cuz I

thought he was not a an interesting

person I think he's he's obviously a

very unhappy person um I just didn't

take him seriously then and and I don't

now but uh so anyway that was it it was

a smaller thing in my life at the

time than other people imagined I think

that and I see this a lot not only on

the left but people who believe that

whatever political debate they're

engaged in is the most important debate

in the world

and so they bring an emotional intensity

to those debates and they're inevitably

disappointed because no no Eternal

question is solved politically so

they're kind of on the wrong path right

and they're doomed to

frustration um if they believe that and

many do he certainly does that whatever

the issue is so you know Clarence Thomas

stop by your Supreme Court Justice and

the implication is well if someone else

is Supreme Court Justice will live in a

fair and happy Society but that's just

not it's a false promise so I think that

people who bring that level of intensity

to politics are by definition bitter by

definition disappointed bitter in the

way the disappointed people are and that

the real questions are like what happens

when you die and how do the people

around you feel about you you know those

are those are not the only questions in

life but they're certainly the most

important ones and if we're spending a

disproportionate amount of time on who

gets elected to some office not that

it's irrelevant it is relevant but it's

not the Eternal question and so I feel

like he's not the only kind of bitter

silly person in Washington are in its in

its orbit there are many and a lot of

them are Republicans so um but I just

thought it was ironic I mean everything

is ironic to me but like being called a

Russia sympathizer by a guy who calls

himself Boris like it just made me laugh

no one else has ever laughed at that

Boris Johnson's real name is not Boris

as you know he calls himself Boris it's

his middle name the measure to me is are

you taking positions that are unpopular

with the most powerful people in the

world and how often are you doing it

it's super simple not for its own sake

but do you feel free enough to say you

know to the consensus I disagree and if

you don't then you're just another toy

that's my

view
