Who Is America?

Ask not what your country can do for you.

Ask what you can do for your country.

Mr. Gorbachev,

...tear down this wall!

PRESIDENT FRANKLIN ROOSEVELT : The only thing we have to fear...

...is fear itself!

"Uhh, I don't know what I said. Uhh!"

We are going to drain the swamp in Washington, D.C.

I want to confront the mainstream media,

...and I want to take them down, one by one.

Hi. I'm Billy Wayne Ruddock,

And I'm here in Washington with Bernard Sanders,

...uh, to talk about the political situation,

...see whether we have any common ground.

So, let's start with a real hot potato.

Do you believe in Obamacare?

I thought it was a good start.

I don't think it went as far as it should.

You believe it should have gone further?

– Of course. – But Obamacare doesn't work.

I mean, I know personally.

I was a healthy man, and Obamacare came in.

I was forced to see a doctor.

And suddenly, I had three diseases.

Suddenly, I had, uh, diabetes one and two,

I had obese legs, and I had chalky deposits.

Well, Billy, obviously, I don't know about your...

...your healthcare. I'm not your doctor.

The...The more important question is...

– ...and I can answer that question... – Sure. Please do.

Is, should I be paying taxes to make sure...

...that people like yourself with disabilities...

...can live with dignity?

What do you think?

I prefer to be anally raped rather than give...

...one more dollar to the Treasury.

You... May I be personal with you?

Please.

Are you... You have a disability?

No, I don't.

This here scooter is to conserve my body's finite energy.

What America, is supposed to be about...

...is, it's a land of opportunity.

– Sure. – If you describe America...

– I agree with that. – Okay.

But what we have now, we have a situation...

...where the top 1/10 of one percent...

...now owns almost as much wealth, as the bottom 90%.

So there's a lot that has to be done.

And the goal is to create a nation...

...that works for all of us, not just the one percent. But if people...

– Sir, I don't mean to interrupt. – No, it's all right.

But rather than complain about the one percent...

...or the 0.1%, why not make the rest of America...

...put them into the one percent?

Well, if you put everybody into the one percent,

...it wouldn't be the one percent.

Well, no, it still would be.

– No, it wouldn't be. – If I can...

If you... The rest of the population, by definition,

...they're not in the one percent.

They're the rest of the population.

– But if you... – All of the population is 100%.

All right, so, this is simple math.

If you have one percent here, one percent,

– ...you have 99%. – Yeah.

And if you move the nine in there, you have 19.

And then you move the other nine there.

Well... If you believe in equality,

...why not, have 100% of the people in the one percent?

These aren't my figures.

This is the International Institute...

...of Scientific, Truth and Knowledge.

So this has been proven that this can work.

Well...

This might lead to some increase in the deficit,

...but, essentially, it is possible.

Uh, what is your proposal, Billy?

Well that, you keep the one percent,

...but you move the 99% into the one percent.

– Look, I... – And so you have 199,

...you just move over the nines.

You have... The 99% are in the one percent.

Billy, I don't know what you're talking about.

I-I really don't.

Namaste.

I'm Dr. Nira Cain-N'Degeocello.

And I'm a cisgender, white, heterosexual male,

for which I apologize.

Two weeks after the election was stolen

from President Hillary Clinton,

I managed to get out of bed.

I've been cycling through our fractured nation,

...listening respectfully, without prejudice, to Republicans,

...with the hope of changing their racist and childish views,

...to try and heal the divide.

I stopped in South Carolina to dine with a couple...

...who suffer from white privilege.

I am the, um, county representative...

...of the state Republican Party.

And I was a delegate in Cleveland...

...that nominated Mr. Trump and Mr. Pence.

And, politically, where... where do you stand?

– I'm a staunch Republican. – Mm.

The press needs to understand that Donald Trump understood...

– ...that we needed to bring jobs back to America. – Yes.

He really understands Washington.

– And he wants to make America great. – Washington is a...

– And I truly believe he believes that. – Yeah.

Now, we would traditionally say grace.

Is that all right with you?

In my household,

...we normally start with a, uh,

First People chant.

Uh, may we?

– Of course. – Sure. Yeah.

– Amen. – Amen.

Amen.

If... If I may say,

...how do you challenge gender stereotypes in your house?

Um, my husband does the, sort of traditionally female...

...household roles in our household,

...just 'cause he's better at it.

– For example? – I do all the laundry.

I usually... Since she does all the cooking,

I do all the cleanup.

I mean, in... in our yurt, the...

We try to challenge the gender stereotypes,

...which, my son, Harvey Milk,

...is not allowed to urinate, standing up.

– And our daughter Malala... – Well, see (STAMMERS)

– Hey, hey, don't interrupt. – Well, ou... our daughter...

– Our daughter, Malala... – Has to urinate...

...is obliged to urinate standing up.

And, sure, she complains.

Sure, there's sometimes a mess.

Yeah, she's peeing on her feet.

So, you force them to have these rules?

Well, there are compliance cams, in the bathroom to...

...that myself and Naomi, occasionally check.

We guide them. We do not enforce them.

So, you have compliance cameras in the bathroom...

– ...that your children... – In the bowl, in the bowl.

That your children can't urinate, in whatever way...

...they feel like they need to?

– Malala has started menstruating. – Mm-hmm.

And we're... we're very proud about that.

But she's too, young to use my partner,

...Naomi's, uh, recyclable cup.

So, we came up with a solution,

...which was for her to free-bleed, and...

Mm. Not appropriate.

– No. – Not ap... Not app...

Honey, don't pass judgment.

Mm. Okay.

So, w-we found that if we put a cloth on a chair,

...firstly, it protected the Herman Miller chairs,

– ...which we love. – Well, I don't blame you.

They're great chairs, so that's great.

– They're fabulous chairs. – But, uh...

...we have Malala sit on a flag...

...and, free-bleed.

– And we... – On a flag?

Yes, on a flag. It's a teachable moment.

Because we teach her about, the bloodshed...

...that, arose from the creation of our country.

The... The interesting thing was,

...we noticed that when she free-bled...

...on our nation's flag,

...the American flag started resembling the Chinese flag.

And so we've started this menstrual flag program,

...and it's actually sponsored by the Clinton Foundation,

...and, it's, proving to be popular.

I do not want you to judge me for this,

...but there was a time...

...when my, partner, Naomi,

...took a, porpoise lover.

A... A dolphin that she met in Tulum.

– A dolphin? – Which... Which apparently is...

– Pardon me? – Excuse me?

As in a water animal?

A mammal that swims in the ocean?

– Yes. – Okay.

I found it very difficult being cuckolded by... Darwin.

I would... I-I...

I empathize with those feelings that you have,

...because I am a little amazed that she would even want to.

My first instinct was, let's move to a landlocked state.

– Oh, get her away from the sea? – Sure.

How does one compete with...

A dolphin?

...a sea mammal?

I mean, if you could have seen me that first time...

...with my flippers on, just trying to...

Trying to figure this out.

Trying to catch up and trying to compete.

You can't.

So... But how long did it take you to get past...

– ...this whole, intercession into your relationship? – Yes.

– Well, we had therapy. – Mm-hmm.
