The internet's most obnoxious individuals can all agree on one thing: millennials will bring about the end of society. But don't give in to naysayers just
didn't watch tv might have been drawn to the show by its, for lack of a better way to put it, its stick it to the man ethos. said don't trust the government, don't trust big business. don't trust anybody but yourself and your friends and family, i guess. it's a message that's somewhat dark and cynical, but was kind of a breath of fresh air in the early '90s. >> the '90s was a time of conspiracies. and the internet was starting to spread beyond just like hard-core computer users. so you could have message boards and use net news groups. and everybody wanted to talk about the black oil and the bees and mulder's sister and what the cigarette smoking man was up to. alt.tv-x-files and people were so nuts for this show. >> it's just pure science fiction. that's probably what i like most about it. >> it changed the way people watched television.
supporters. >> no. not getting that vaccine. no, no, no, no, no. them vaccines are not good, hon. >> are you vaccinated? >> no. but i have a lot of hydrocolor-queen and zinc at my house. >> have you got your vaccine shot? >> no. don't want it. >> why not? >> they ain't tested it enough from my opinion. >> i don't trust the government. i don't trust cdc. i don't trust none of them. >> that woman at the end saying i don't trust the government, i don't trust cdc, i don't trust none of them. but you point out that the resistance to precautions isn't really anti-government sentiment when enforcing bans on mask mandates and vaccine requirements often requires the government. we see that in texas and florida. >> that's right. what these people are doing is not reducing government. what they're doing is using the force of government on somebody else. for example, punishing businesses that want to institute vaccine mandates just in their private business so they don't have to be exposed to people who are unvaccinated.
evan, good evening. thanks for joining. so let's start by taking a step back. yes, there is now a crisis in afghanistan, but the administration has evacuated tens of of thousands in just days. the battle against covid and getting vaccines out in higher numbers. now with fda approval. infrastructure and budget on track. all while battling a right wing that's -- that's the right wing's main strategy, to seek and destroy. what underlies all of this for president biden? >> you know, at the core of it, don, is this idea that has been with him for 50 years, as long as he's been going into politics, is this idea that scorched earth is generally not the answer. that usually if ever possible he wants to try to get around the table, get across from the table. and as he will tell you, i don't get to choose who i sit across the table from on any given issue, i have to contend with the reality as it's presented. sending his cia director bill burns is a classic example of that.
one is that the president believes that the longer that the u.s. stays there the higher the threat of a potential terrorist attack becomes. and also they worry that if they do stay past that deadline that they've been discussing with the taliban so far, they could lose their cooperation. and don, that has been critical to getting americans and afghan allies out of afghanistan so far, making sure the taliban would actually let them come through those checkpoints to get to the airport. so i do think that is a big factor into the decision that the president has made, something that many in the west wing advocated for. they did not want to he see him extend that deadline, despite the pressure you're seeing from other world leaders and other democratic lawmakers who say they think it's best to extend that deadline. >> i don't want to get past what you said. you mentioned getting the forces out. the first u.s. troops have started leaving afghanistan. several hundred leaving today. again, concerns that the situation could get worse as these troops depart, correct? >> right.
information out there combatting misinformation. misstlufgt. african-american communities have a good reason for mistrust. hispanic communities are scared they are going to get an immigration issue if they come in and actually get a vaccine. certainly many rural communities have been off clipped by the politicization of the pandemic. everybody is responsible for that. i never heard anybody say i won't get a vaccine because i'm republican, they say i don't trust the government, i don't trust the medical stoorgss. i'll urge congress to tone down the political rhetoric and focus on building those bridges that will allow people to feel safe when they come in to their medical establishment. >> i want to get you on masks. there's been a lot of talks about mavericks. health officials in l.a. county recommending fully vaccinated people continue to mask up indoors. i spoke with the current surgeon general yesterday who said fully vaccinated parents with young children should also keep masking up to protect their
conversation, and i'm handing them over thousands and thousands of e-mails after i was already hacked by all allegations cnn has reported and other newspapers, et cetera, have talked about my crazy fisa warrant based on, you know, allegedly based on the dodgy dossier. so, you know, i've already been hacked myself. and now they're asking for thousands and thousands of e-mails. >> you don't trust them? you think they'll leak it? >> well, look at the experience. manu's a good guy, but, you know, to have all of your -- all of your information which has already been hacked by the u.s. government and more people are asking to have, you know, those same documents, i think you would probably feel a little bit concerned about that, too. again, i'm trying to help as much as i can and i'm taking steps, you know. i always give the people the benefit of the doubt. so let's see. hopefully they act better than they had yesterday. >> so you sat down for several interviews with the fbi in march of this year. have you had any contact with
including tuberculosis. serious, sometimes fatal, infections and cancers, including lymphoma have happened as have blood, liver, and nervous system problems, serious allergic reactions, and new or worsening heart failure. before treatment, get tested for tb. tell your doctor if you've been to areas where certain fungal infections are common, and if you've had tb, hepatitis b, are prone to infections, or have flu-like symptoms, or sores. don't start humira if you have an infection. join over 250,000 people who have chosen humira. ask about the #1 prescribed biologic by dermatologists. humira & go. accused of obstructing justice to theat the fbinuclear war, and of violating the constitution by taking money from foreign governments and threatening to shut down news organizations that report the truth. if that isn't a case for impeaching and removing a dangerous president, then what has our government become? i'm tom steyer, and like you, i'm a citizen who knows it's up to us to do something. it's why i'm funding this effort to raise our voices together and demand that elected officials
don't trust the government, who don't trust any system, really, and he's the one in charge of running the government and he's basically telling them they're not trustworthy. we can't trust them to give a fair trial. we can't trust a terrorist to get a fair trial. we can't trust the military commission. i think that's just, you know, making it so that people are even less -- having less faith -- they're less faithful in, you know, believing in the system. >> in institutions. speaking of which, on fox yesterday, the president was asked about whether having so many open positions at the u.s. state department made it difficult to promote his agenda. take a listen to what he said. >> the one that matters is me. i'm the only one that matters because when it comes to it, that's what the policy is going to be. >> i mean, this is a sort of classic trump refrain, that he alone can do this. but i think it also -- cost-saving, which is what he called it with not filling some of these positions at state, i could actually get on board with some of that. some of these positions we don't
tell me i'm crazy. >> multier, you're crazy. >> that dynamic, that dramatic tension of believer versus skeptic is one of the engines of the show. you were always seeing it from a specific point of view. >> they're equals? >> yeah, absolutely. they're equals and in a way they've kind of switched gender stereotypes because the character i play, mulder, is the intuitive one. >> large intestine. >> and scully is the rationist, the doctor. >> a lot of folks who enjoyed "the x files" who otherwise didn't watch tv might have been drawn to the show by its, for lack of a better way to put it, it's stick it to the man ethos. don't trust the government, don't trust big business, don't trust anybody but yourself and your friends and family i guess. it's a message that's somewhat dark and cynical but was kind of a breath of fresh air in the early '90s.
