I have watched maybe seven times your
interview with the mayor of Las Vegas.
I watch it purely as entertainment.
I like watching you taking off
your glasses, rubbing your face.
It is so entertaining, but so frustrating.
I could never do your job because I would
have just said you're the mayor of Las
Vegas and what you're
saying right now is idiotic.
Now you did say a couple of times to
her out of frustration that what she was
saying made no sense.
I said it was ignorant.
This isn't China. This is a Vegas,
Nevada. Wow. Okay. That's really ignorant.
When you're in the middle of something
like that, do you sit there and just say,
sometimes my job is such bullshit cause
I can't really hammer this person the
way I want to. Is it an
exercise in restraint?
I actually think it's more
powerful not to. Yeah. Yes you can.
You can scream at somebody, but then
it's sort of where do you go from there?
And then you're just another person who's
screaming and there's plenty of people
screaming and calling each other names
and that's what the president does.
And that's not who I am.
It's not who I want to be and it's
not how I want to live or even think.
And so I'm much more interested
in actually trying to
tease something out so you
know, if a politician has, you know,
I had read that the mayor said we
should open the casinos, open the Strip.
I thought,
Oh well let's actually talk to her and
sort of play that out and see if she has
actually done any work on preparing
for that or thinking about that. And,
and so I like, it's like with
you having real conversations,
that's when it gets interesting because
when you actually start to tease out a
person's ideas, sometimes you realize
they haven't thought about it at all.
And it is just a bumper sticker and they
reveal themselves to people in far more
devastating ways than me just yelling
at somebody and calling them a name.
