and this idea that the youth are unspoiled by the sins of this world, so she's a truth-sayer.
That's how I saw her, right?
I thought she was so brave, and I did not... I would laugh when I would see the conservative critique of her that was like,
oh, why do you have a 15-year-old leading your movement?
I'd be like, I just don't get it, you know?
And now I think that's a very valid critique.
Why does a movement need a teenager to be its leader?
We're living in the real world here, and things like our energy system are not something that a 15-year-old who's never paid an energy bill in her life should be talking about.
But again, it was so ideological.
And so when I met her, which was 2019, May of 2019...
I just was able to, my producer at the time, was able to get an interview with her, which was a big get.
So we flew to Stockholm, which I put the carbon emissions of the flight out of my mind.
I'm like, it's for the greater good.
And I interviewed her and the things that I took away from it the most, it was a very professional operation, right?
Like she brought her bike in multiple times to get multiple shots for me and other camera crews that were there.
I think 60 Minutes Australia was also there and a few other outlets.
And I had a designated time with her, only about, like, 20 minutes.
And I thought she was actually very articulate and had a great quality, actually, about her.
She has charisma, obviously, to lead a movement like this.
And so I thought my interactions with her were lovely.
