SHAWN RYAN (HOST): How would you get the right information? I mean I've sat here for the past two years-

RYAN: and probably interviewed about half of the current administration. 

LESTER: Yeah.

RYAN: I've interviewed a shit ton of politicians.

LESTER: Yeah.

RYAN: And, you know, nothing they say they're going to do happens. For example, no new wars. Here we are, one fucking year in: Venezuela, Ukraine, Iran, Gaza. 

LESTER: Yeah.
