00:00:00
can I ask you a professional question
00:00:01
sure so you know Bobby Kennedy was on
00:00:04
Bill Mah when I was on right yeah and I
00:00:07
got to know him by the way incredibly
00:00:09
likable guy um obviously and impressive
00:00:12
in
00:00:14
person and not like that to be fair he's
00:00:16
been great on the environment he's been
00:00:18
a leader like around the environment and
00:00:20
some issues anyways um I got to know him
00:00:24
texted me and said uh and his head of
00:00:26
Comm said we'd really like to come on
00:00:28
the prop gpod oh no okay uh so I met
00:00:32
with the team and I said Bobby wants
00:00:34
Bobby Kennedy wants to come on the prop
00:00:36
you pod uh what do you think what would
00:00:37
you do may not have him on not have on
00:00:41
why maybe um maybe yeah see it's not
00:00:44
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
00:00:48
not because of like listen I've
00:00:50
interviewed lots of you know I had the
00:00:52
Parlor guy if you remember right after
00:00:53
the the thing I didn't agree with most
00:00:55
everything he said and he of course
00:00:57
ended up getting fired from that
00:00:58
interview um
00:01:01
I I don't mean to say you're not
00:01:03
qualified to take this guy on but I
00:01:05
think you will give that wasn't the
00:01:06
answer I was looking for Cara well I I
00:01:08
think I I wouldn't be qualified I don't
00:01:10
think I think I think he's a yeah right
00:01:13
I I don't you're not qualified to bring
00:01:15
this guy on you need a lot of prep on
00:01:19
this one a lot of prep and you need to
00:01:21
counter him because he's a profession
00:01:23
he's he lies almost constantly and
00:01:25
misrepresents things he said and so get
00:01:29
even getting him spewing stuff is a
00:01:31
problem like you just catching his many
00:01:34
many misconceptions of everything and
00:01:37
and countering but unless you're an
00:01:38
epidemiologist you're not going to be
00:01:40
able to do that which is essentially why
00:01:42
we decided not well some reporters are
00:01:44
more qualified than others to do that
00:01:45
and stuff that's if you're that's just
00:01:47
on certain things he like spouts off all
00:01:50
kinds of conspiracy theories you know
00:01:52
that and doing the some people said so I
00:01:54
think it's a very difficult interview
00:01:56
and he's charismatic which is hard to
00:01:59
deal with when someone seems reasonable
00:02:02
and then throws in a lie here and there
00:02:04
and think that's difficult this is why I
00:02:06
would I would had a very difficult time
00:02:07
with this fella um the other thing a
00:02:09
couple days to figure it out this is not
00:02:11
an insult to you but you give people a
00:02:14
lot of you you you try to come to comedy
00:02:17
with people and you're uncomfortable in
00:02:20
comedy or comedy comedy yeah not don't
00:02:23
start doing joking around with jark
00:02:25
that's like a death no I I I was I
00:02:27
didn't know what you were I didn't know
00:02:29
I didn't know you are you try to see the
00:02:31
best side of people right and I think
00:02:33
this is a very cynical Disturbed person
00:02:37
so I I think you are too nice you're too
00:02:41
wanting to come to some can't we all get
00:02:43
along and in some cases no we just can't
00:02:46
you're no my interviewing style I
00:02:47
believe in what Sam Harris said that you
00:02:49
want to present people in their best
00:02:50
light and that just might not be the
00:02:51
right approach to this right I don't
00:02:53
know what is your staff thing oh was
00:02:55
Universal no uh the general view was
00:02:58
realistically it doesn't have a path to
00:03:00
presidency yeah so if Donald Trump
00:03:02
called and said we want to be on your
00:03:03
podcast I'd have him on and I would do
00:03:05
my best to be prepared um right in that
00:03:06
case I'd say yes but they said he really
00:03:09
doesn't have a path all he's going to do
00:03:10
is potentially be a spoiler and the
00:03:12
general sense was that he has been while
00:03:15
he's been very good on certain topics
00:03:16
that he's been so reckless but I told
00:03:18
him I texted him back and I don't think
00:03:19
he'd mind this well maybe he would but
00:03:20
I'm going to say it anyway as I said the
00:03:22
general view is that you've been uh so
00:03:25
reckless on the issue of vaccines that
00:03:27
we don't want to platform those ideas
00:03:28
for fear that they'll get the residents
00:03:30
they really legitimately don't deserve
00:03:32
he gets one in he always get Liars
00:03:34
always persistent Liars always get one
00:03:35
in um and you have to really counter
00:03:38
them I think I did a good job in that
00:03:39
parlor interview where he started saying
00:03:41
many people say and I said nobody says
00:03:43
that and here's the nobody who says it
00:03:45
you show them you know you have to be
00:03:47
real tough and vicious almost and I
00:03:49
think you're not I I think it's a
00:03:51
quality I like about you you're not
00:03:52
capable of it I don't think you're you
00:03:54
just feel bad because you said I wasn't
00:03:55
worthy I wasn't up to it now you're
00:03:57
trying to back I don't think many people
00:03:59
are up to it I don't think many
00:04:00
interviews do a good job with him
00:04:02
honestly
