Richard Belzer | Corporate Conspiracies, Robin Williams, & Media Mind Control
Political Leadership, National Mood and Multi-Party Systems
The conversation shifts to how the personality and integrity of a president set the tone for a nation's collective behavior. Comparisons are drawn between the optimism of the John F. Kennedy era and the disillusionment following the Nixon and Johnson administrations. Belzer advocates for a multi-party system similar to those in Europe to break the perceived corporate ownership of the American two-party "Depublicans" structure.
