介绍:
-Sharon is a very funny woman,
-but she has less faith in American individualism than I do.
-Hang on, I have plenty of--
-When did I ever express any lack of faith?
-I didn't say and never said that Barack Obama was a socialist.
- Seriously? - What I said and I have always said...
-Lewis, you are begging me to run a sound package
-Monday morning that shows you hundreds of times
-calling the president a socialist.
-I'll read your columns on the air.
-The policies are... look up the definition,
-my friend... they're socialist.
-By your definition, so were Ronald Reagan's.
-What do you think taxes are?
-That was the last great president.
-American individualism can't build roads.
-- An individual... - Go on, get it all out.
-Thank you, since the question was addressed to me.
-An individual can't build a school
-or assemble an army...
-No one's talking about disbanding the army.
-So we can agree that the government is good for that?
- Yes. Fine. - Yes.
-A fire department: Good idea or bad idea?
-You are getting so worked up, Sharon.
-I'm afraid you're gonna start shooting light out of your ass.
-Good idea or bad idea on the fire department?
-Or should it be a private fire department
-that only comes to your burning house if you paid your monthly fire bill?
-I am more than happy to pay for a fire department.
-I am not happy to pay for a painting
-that I don't wanna look at, poetry I don't wanna read.
-You can't skip right to the NEA!
-And you cannot skip right to the army.
-...00004% of the federal budget
-and is code for New York, jewish, perverted, and gay.
-- Will. - Yes, sir.
-Anything to add?
-I think we'd need a more precise definition of "Perverted."
-Okay.
-We'll go on to the next question.
-- You, sir. - My name's Steven.
-I'm a junior and my question is for Will McAvoy.
-Do you consider yourself a Democrat,
-a Republican, or Independent?
-I consider myself a New York Jets fan, Steven.
-Since it's been brought up,
-you've almost religiously avoided stating
-or even implying a political allegiance.
-Is that because as a news anchor
-you feel the integrity of your broadcast would be compromised?
-That sounds like a good answer. I'll take it.
-There was a short piece on Vanity Fair's website
-by Marshall Westbrook-- you probably saw it--
-where he calls you the "Jay Leno of news anchors."
-- You're popular because you don't bother anyone. - Yeah.
-How do you feel about that?
-Jealous of the size of Jay's audience.
-Are you willing to say here tonight
-whether you lean right or left?
-I've voted for candidates run by both major parties.
-Let's move on to the next question.
-- Go ahead. - Hi. My name is Jenny.
-I'm a sophomore, and this is for all three of you.
-Can you say in one sentence or less...
-Um, you know what I mean.
-Can you say why America is the greatest country in the world?
-Diversity and opportunity.
-Lewis.
-Freedom and freedom. So let's keep it that way.
-Will.
-The New York Jets.
-No, I'm gonna hold you to an answer on that.
-What makes America the greatest country in the world?
-Well, Lewis and Sharon said it...
-diversity and opportunity and freedom and freedom.
-I'm not letting you go back to the airport without answering the question.
-Well, our Constitution is a masterpiece.
-James Madison was a genius.
-The Declaration of Independence is, for me,
-the single greatest piece of American writing.
-You don't look satisfied.
-One's a set of laws and the other's a declaration of war.
-I want a human moment from you.
-What about the people? Why is America...
-It's not the greatest country in the world, Professor.
-That's my answer.
-- You're saying...
- Yes.
-- Let's talk about... - Fine. Sharon, the NEA is a loser.
-Yeah, it accounts for a penny out of our paycheck,
-but he gets to hit you with it any time he wants.
-It doesn't cost money, it costs votes.
-It costs airtime and column inches.
-You know why people don't like liberals?
-Because they lose.
-If liberals are so fuckin' smart,
-how come they lose so goddamn always?
-And with a straight face you're gonna tell students
-that America is so star-spangled awesome
-that we're the only ones in the world who have freedom?
-Canada has freedom. Japan has freedom.
-The U.K., France, Italy, Germany,
-Spain, Australia. Belgium has freedom!
-207 sovereign states in the world,
-like 180 of them have freedom.
-- All right...
- And, yeah, you, sorority girl.
-Just in case you accidentally wander into a voting booth one day,
-there are some things you should know,
-and one of them is there is absolutely no evidence to support the statement
-that we're the greatest country in the world.
-We're seventh in literacy, 27th in math,
-22nd in science, 49th in life expectancy,
-178th in infant mortality,
-third in median household income,
-number four in labor force, and number four in exports.
-We lead the world in only three categories:
-Number of incarcerated citizens per capita,
-number of adults who believe angels are real,
-and defense spending where we spend
-more than the next 26 countries combined,
-25 of whom are allies.
-Now, none of this is the fault of a 20-year-old college student,
-but you nonetheless are without a doubt
-a member of the worst period generation period ever period.
-So when you ask what makes us
-the greatest country in the world,
-I don't know what the fuck you're talking about.
-Yosemite?
-We sure used to be.
-We stood up for what was right.
-We fought for moral reasons.
-We passed laws, struck down laws for moral reasons.
-We waged wars on poverty, not poor people.
-We sacrificed. We cared about our neighbors.
-We put our money where our mouths were and we never beat our chest.
-We built great big things,
-made ungodly technological advances,
-explored the universe, cured diseases,
-and we cultivated the world's greatest artists
-and the world's greatest economy.
-We reached for the stars, acted like men.
-We aspired to intelligence. We didn't belittle it.
-It didn't make us feel inferior.
-We didn't identify ourselves by who we voted for in the last election
-and we didn't... we didn't scare so easy.
-Ahem, we were able to be all these things
-and do all these things because we were informed.
-By great men, men who were revered.
-The first step in solving any problem
-is recognizing there is one.
-America is not the greatest country in the world anymore.
-Enough?
-What the fuck was that?
-Are you out of your mind? That was a kid.
-I'm sorry! I'm taking medicine for vertigo
-and I think it works because I've got it.
-You're in trouble, man. You can't talk to me like that.
-- Do you need a doctor? - Jesus Christ.
-Listen, listen!
-What did I say out there?
