00:00I mean, I'm like anyone alive right now.
00:01I look around and I just wonder, how the hell did we get here?
00:04I think everyone is asking themselves that no matter what side of the line you are on,
00:08we look at the system and we think, you know, this is broken.
00:11So you can't help looking back going, all right, when did this start?
00:13And in the Gary Hart story, there were these threats that led to 2018.
00:17It was the first presidency that was taken down by a sex scandal.
00:20And, uh, look, he was a human being.
00:23He made real mistakes.
00:24And he serves as this kind of great test case.
00:26We kind of figure out in 2018, what is important versus what is entertaining?
00:31You know, what is actually relevant?
00:32Uh, no one knows the answers.
00:34I think, you know, this is what we're fighting about.
00:35But this serves as this kind of great prism through which to have the conversation.
00:41Before, before the Hart scandal, there was a question about, uh, what is public and what is private?
00:51And this is a question that we still are trying to answer today.
00:55What is important versus what is entertaining?
00:58Interesting thing about, uh, the Hart story, which we portray in the movie The Front Runner,
01:01is it's really kind of the first moment where gossip journalism and political journalism drove into the same lane.
01:07So, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh
