I did... I wrote a couple movies.

One I thought was bad, one I thought was very good.

There were a bunch of, you know... I love your honesty.

You write scripts.

You know, you write some clunkers, you write some stuff that you think is actually really good.

Yeah, I think what I'll say...

Part of the issue, and this is what my critics from the left will say, is that this is a structural problem and it's a sinking ship in all these industries.

And you're sure women and people of color got more of these jobs, but it was just because the white men had fled because they knew it was a sinking ship.

No, no.

What I'll say to that is I do think there are structural problems in media and Hollywood and academia.

But part of those structural problems are because they didn't, A, follow the market to what people wanted to watch and read and hire the best people.

And, you know, I don't know what the world I don't think that it would have solved, say, a Hollywood streaming problem or, you know, the the decline of all newspapers that are at The New York Times.

But it certainly would have if they had given more, you know, talent and different voices, you know, different political voices that were not all identical.

I think, you know, like take the free press like that within four years, that company went from nothing, you know, and it was just because there was a market need for that and no one was paying attention to it.

No, but when this started, I was definitely, I was definitely a liberal.

I am not a liberal anymore.

My politics are honestly all over the place.

Like there's some things that I'm super conservative about.

There's something that I'm super liberal about.

And so in other words, you're just human.
