I talk about, I was once, when I was at American Peril, I was once asked to do this thing that was profoundly wrong and immoral.
And I didn't do it, but I thought about doing it and I struggled with doing it.
And the reason that I didn't challenge my boss about it
was that I didn't want to get fired, right?

But why would you want...
to work in an administration where even the slightest criticism gets you on the shit list, it's not gonna be a good job.
