00:00:00
can I ask you a professional question sure so you know Bobby Kennedy was on Bill Mah when I was on right yeah and I
00:00:07
got to know him by the way incredibly likable guy um obviously and impressive in
00:00:14
person and not like that to be fair he's been great on the environment he's been
00:00:18
a leader like around the environment and some issues anyways um I got to know him
00:00:24
texted me and said uh and his head of Comm said we'd really like to come on the prop gpod oh no okay uh so I met
00:00:32
with the team and I said Bobby wants Bobby Kennedy wants to come on the prop you pod uh what do you think what would
00:00:37
you do may not have him on not have on why maybe um maybe yeah see it's not it's not a slam dunk isn't it it took me
00:00:46
a while to think about it I have to say not because of like listen I've interviewed lots of you know I had the
00:00:52
Parlor guy if you remember right after the the thing I didn't agree with most everything he said and he of course
00:00:57
ended up getting fired from that interview um I I don't mean to say you're not qualified to take this guy on but I
00:01:05
think you will give that wasn't the answer I was looking for Cara well I I think I I wouldn't be qualified I don't
00:01:10
think I think I think he's a yeah right I I don't you're not qualified to bring this guy on you need a lot of prep on
00:01:19
this one a lot of prep and you need to counter him because he's a profession he's he lies almost constantly and
00:01:25
misrepresents things he said and so get even getting him spewing stuff is a problem like you just catching his many
00:01:34
many misconceptions of everything and and countering but unless you're an epidemiologist you're not going to be
00:01:40
able to do that which is essentially why we decided not well some reporters are more qualified than others to do that
00:01:45
and stuff that's if you're that's just on certain things he like spouts off all kinds of conspiracy theories you know
00:01:52
that and doing the some people said so I think it's a very difficult interview and he's charismatic which is hard to
00:01:59
deal with when someone seems reasonable and then throws in a lie here and there and think that's difficult this is why I
00:02:06
would I would had a very difficult time with this fella um the other thing a couple days to figure it out this is not
00:02:11
an insult to you but you give people a lot of you you you try to come to comedy with people and you're uncomfortable in
00:02:20
comedy or comedy comedy yeah not don't start doing joking around with jark that's like a death no I I I was I
00:02:27
didn't know what you were I didn't know I didn't know you are you try to see the
00:02:31
best side of people right and I think this is a very cynical Disturbed person so I I think you are too nice you're too
00:02:41
wanting to come to some can't we all get along and in some cases no we just can't
00:02:46
you're no my interviewing style I believe in what Sam Harris said that you want to present people in their best
00:02:50
light and that just might not be the right approach to this right I don't know what is your staff thing oh was
00:02:55
Universal no uh the general view was realistically it doesn't have a path to presidency yeah so if Donald Trump
00:03:02
called and said we want to be on your podcast I'd have him on and I would do my best to be prepared um right in that
00:03:06
case I'd say yes but they said he really doesn't have a path all he's going to do
00:03:10
is potentially be a spoiler and the general sense was that he has been while he's been very good on certain topics
00:03:16
that he's been so reckless but I told him I texted him back and I don't think he'd mind this well maybe he would but
00:03:20
I'm going to say it anyway as I said the general view is that you've been uh so reckless on the issue of vaccines that
00:03:27
we don't want to platform those ideas for fear that they'll get the residents they really legitimately don't deserve
00:03:32
he gets one in he always get Liars always persistent Liars always get one in um and you have to really counter
00:03:38
them I think I did a good job in that parlor interview where he started saying many people say and I said nobody says
00:03:43
that and here's the nobody who says it you show them you know you have to be real tough and vicious almost and I
00:03:49
think you're not I I think it's a quality I like about you you're not capable of it I don't think you're you
00:03:54
just feel bad because you said I wasn't worthy I wasn't up to it now you're trying to back I don't think many people
00:03:59
are up to it I don't think many interviews do a good job with him honestly
