So he, from a very early age, saw himself as a sort of King Arthur-like figure, right?
You know, orphaned future king who has to fight demons and evil forces and fight his way back.
You know, at 16, he was taking trips up to New York to buy smack on the street and continued as a regular heroin user through several boarding schools as a high school student, through Harvard University, through the University of Virginia where he got a law degree, through his first legal jobs in New York City until the addiction sort of got the best of him.
That fierceness, I think, explains why...
I think he's been successful in the ways he's been successful, but also why he has been so willing to divert entirely from the sort of accepted wisdom of the scientific community.
He really sees himself as someone who can see the truth in ways other people do not see the truth.
I said, well, what if you're wrong?
You know, what if all you're doing here doesn't work out and the vaccines and the bacteria do the education and we have...
measles and whooping cough outbreaks and kids are put in the hospital.
And his answer was we would listen, which was a hopeful answer.
And then he went on to sort of list out all the reasons that he was not wrong.
Jeder Läufer kennt diesen Moment, wenn es einfach klickt. Wenn deine Beine einfach mitgehen, der Schmerz nachlässt, die Zweifel weg sind und du nur noch das Runners High spürst. Das ist der Grund, warum du so früh aufstehst. Warum dich ein bisschen Regen nicht aufhält. Warum Laufen zum Ritual wird. Also laufe und fühle das Runners High.

Edward Snowden is responsible for the biggest leak of classified information about U.S. surveillance in American history.
At the time, he decided he wasn't going to go forward with a pardon of Snowden, but he said it was a very close call and he said it could have gone the other way.
And that includes his son, Donald Trump Jr. It includes Gates, who's still close with him. It includes Tucker Carlson, who has been down at Mar-a-Lago. Tulsi Gabbard, his nominee to be director of national intelligence. And Robert F. Kennedy Jr., his nominee to be health and human services secretary.
One of the reasons to justify a pardon of Snowden, this idea that the deep state, that the intelligence apparatus exists, his somehow corrupt needs to be checked as part of their argument. And this is actually an argument that appeals to Donald Trump.
That's a debated point. The actual damage that the Snowden disclosures did do have not been detailed by the intelligence community. That remains classified.
