I don't want the news to be patriotic. I don't want to see flags on the lapels of the anchors. I don't want any of that.

We have to confront the very scary fact that the president is a moron. He's really dumb.

We don't need a two-party system. We need something else. Because at this point, the two-party system is really just a one-party system. And that one party is crumbling.

I think the two-party system is a complete sham I think it is designed so that the voters can feel like they have the satisfaction of throwing those bums out of office every four to eight years, but without the direction of the country ever significantly changing.

I think the people should demand accountability on the voting. I think there's no point in voting if you're not gonna demand fairness and be able to verify each vote. And other countries can do this fairly easily. So I don't think you really want democracy if you're not willing to take that first step.

I don't know what the future holds. It seems to be going in a really bad, bad place really quickly, and I don't have the answers and I don't have the solutions and I don't know what's gonna happen to change it. But the continued apathy will only lead to a worse situation for everybody.

I do the interviews and then I read about myself. I understand it and I get what it is. But there's so much stuff that I say, either jokingly or lightheartedly, that gets printed like I'm dead serious.

I don't think the American government has a lot of respect for culture.

Obviously, there's a million things we're allowed to say on late-night cable that you're not allowed to say on a prime time broadcast.

I want the news delivered unbiased. I thought that was the whole point with journalism.

Late to bed and late to wake will keep you long on money and short on mistakes.

Fluid and energetic and wild very, very smart and very, very funny.

One, I push my deadlines closer than anybody else, or let's say it this way: I'm really late.

Meeting Fidel Castro was really cool. It's cool because it's Fidel, and it's a world leader, and there's so much history behind the man and who he is in this hemisphere. And then at the end of the day, he's, I think, just like a big mayor. There's only, like, 11 million people in Cuba. He's a big mayor.

The population has to be educated about how the government actually works.

Voting really doesn't mean anything. I wish I could say something different, but I think it's kind of a sham.
