I'm sorry I couldn't get through it, it's just too painful to watch. Those people have absolutely nothing to offer anyone, there's no reason to interview them except as part of a war crime investigation.

I'll still be forever grateful to Jon and Stephen for helping to build in me the constructive scepticism that I now have.

It's so sad, feels like they are lost to us since Trump. Honestly one of the biggest disappointments of this whole period.

I am struggling to select my favourite `argument` as that interview

contains many `treasures`; some of which lead to shock, serious

irritation, and revulsion, all at the same time.

However, if pressed to select one, this is my favourite

moment featuring `Condi` at around 30:55 into the interview:

> Condi: Well, actually, if you look at the record. Democratic countries

> *don't* invade their neighbours. Democratic countries *don't* harbor

> terrorists. Democratic countries *don't* use weapons of mass

> destruction…

…ergo, if you take this to its natural conclusion then the US

is *not* a democratic country. Oh, hold on a second! I forgot!

US exceptionalism! Of course! My bad! This counts for everyone

else *except* the US and its friends…

I am not surprised that Condi utters such nonsense, what really amazes

me is how they manage to make these statements with a serious and

straight face. The double standard couldn't be more appaling. But

there they are, looking all serious, nodding at each other, completing

each others sentences…simply revulsive!

…and how does our acclaimed Jon Stewart respond to this nonsense?

> Jon: I understand what you're saying [Condi].…

Wow! How critical!
