Every single person who is in that room, every single person who's nominated, every single person who gets on that stage has more of a gift from God than anyone could possibly deserve. They're all beautiful, they're all talented, they all know exactly what they're doing, but they're trapped inside this philosophy that is a dead end. And it's not about the politics.

They're all beautiful, they're all talented, they all know exactly what they're doing, but they're trapped inside this philosophy that is a dead end. And it's not about the politics.

The politics are a symptom of the philosophy which is this kind of empty materialist, you know, meaningless life philosophy that you can't make art out of because it doesn't reflect the human condition, which is the subject of art. And to me, it's just sad to watch. You know, if you want to just think back in time for a minute, think back to 1987. 1987, the Reagan Revolution has taken place.

Reagan has saved the country. He's made us all rich. And part of that wealth is the stock market is booming and it creates this culture of traders who, as they put it in the movie Wall Street, you know, greed is good. Two works of art come out in 1987. One is by the left-wing director Oliver Stone. It's Wall Street. Actually, really good movie.

And the other is a novel by the right-wing, right-leaning author Tom Wolfe, The Bonfire of the Vanities. And both of these books kind of absolutely lacerate this greed is good culture that is part of the Reagan revolution that has saved the country. And so you step back and you say, well, why does both a right-winger and a left-winger

expose this culture and satirize this culture that right-wingers are supposed to have loved. We all look back fondly on Ronald Reagan. And the reason is life is really complicated. It's really complex. And so capitalism is this beautiful engine of wealth and creativity and competition, but it also reduces all of us to consumerists.

And to little Scrooges and, you know, the Wordsworth had a line, getting and spending, we waste our powers. And that is true of capitalism, too. Life is complex. So complex artists on both the right and the left were capable of having free and open minds enough to create works of art out of the moment we were in that were also complicated and also made us look at ourselves in new ways.

That's complexity. Those are free thinkers. Now we have these people who must, they must believe certain things. If you go on the Oscar website and you search standards, it will tell you exactly how many excluded people you need to have in your movies. Exactly how many story narratives have to deal with excluded people. It's the DEI of art. It's death to art. It's death, death to free thinking.
