I mean, people have misrepresented each other and lied about each other.

You know, calumny is nothing new.

I mean, if you go back to the pamphlets of Thomas Paine,

And there were pamphlets that were coming out from John Adams that were defaming Thomas Jefferson.

And Thomas Jefferson was sniping at John Adams.

And they were telling lies about each other.

And there were people that were lying about.

We look back in the glory days.

Everybody loved George Washington.

No.

I mean, if you look at the second term of George Washington, he literally wouldn't read the newspapers because they were so calumnious about him.

They were lying about him and saying terrible things about him.

The newspapers in those days were all completely aligned with one particular political party.

And the ones that were against him in New York or whatever.

And so there's nothing new under the sun.

This is the way that this works.

And what we're dedicated to is the long game of truth

and love and beauty and all of these good things, but that's always the long game.

You'll always lose the short game to the quick hit and to the negative emotion.

But the long game has got to belong to us.
