Key Quotes​

Here are five quotes extracted from the transcript:

  1. "My takeaway is his motivation was all about himself." (Referring to Joe Biden's phone call before her debate with Trump)
  2. "But higher you climb with your own continued naivity, you start to suspect that no one really is genetically gifted or like has some superpower that you don't have."
  3. "Don't ever limit yourself based on other people's limited ability to see who you are."
  4. "There was a lot of games being played, but I wanted to do Joe Rogan show. I think podcasting is a very powerful medium for people to get information and and to your point a lot of people that is a main source of information and it's important for us to support that."
  5. "In so many ways, I've been in the belly of the beast and I I feel that the consequence of an election for president of the United States impacts billions of people around the world. And yet the process can be so opaque."
