I keep hearing from people telling me that I'm somehow shirking my duty in this particular

day and age to be speaking out politically.

After all, we've been doing it for years.

Common Sense Podcast, radio shows, I have a responsibility in how can I be, you know, leaving

the playing field now with the stakes as high as they are.

So you think you want to comment since podcast from me?

I'm not so sure you're right about that.

And if you really do and you end up walking away saying, yeah, that was exactly what I wanted,

you probably didn't need it to begin with.

We have spoken for years and you long-term listeners know this already about systemic

things.

This is what's important in our system, right?

The framework, the way we're running the various major elements in play and how they're

pinging off each other.

So when we talk about things like corruption, this is a foundational problem because if

you're not talking about that, you're obsessing and getting all worked up over things that

are not a major part of the scene that are subsidiary problems that are symptoms of a

larger cause.

Donald Trump is the symptom of a larger problem.

And so when people want me to jump into this fray right now, the stakes have never been

higher.

I don't see the same problem you do.
