You're not a journalist. What do you say you are?

0:02.0

I'm a commentator.

0:03.0

You're a commentator. And you interview who interests you. Yeah. This is a person who is grotesque. And in her grotesquery, to make up a word, she has dominated the headlines. She's become a huge figure, not just here, but all around the world, everyone knows who she is. I tell by Argentinian in-laws about, I'm interviewing Bonnie Blue, they know.

Those are the kinds of things that, aside from any kind of inadvertent activism in my

0:26.9

journalism, those are the things I enjoy. I like the Louis Theroux stuff. I've done 200

0:33.4

interviews now or so for heretics. a large percentage of them about immigration, another large

0:42.1

percentage of them about trance.

0:44.1

And day after day, after day, after day, I'm sure you must have some of that fatigue
