Perhaps it is because I understand the journey Shawn Ryan is traveling, but this is an interesting conversation. Tucker Carlson sits down with Shawn Ryan who is about 5 years into his journey looking at the political landscape and questioning all of his previous assumptions.

I have long described the DC political machine as a Potemkin village, essentially a stage where the politicians are actors playing roles. In the back of the stage the real decisions are made, and the performance is intended to give the illusion of democracy. The performance is real, but there’s a script and the results are pre-scripted. When Ryan says, “it’s all fake” he appears to be hitting on this theme, albeit in a newer stage of realization.

The voting audience wants to see certain things, the actors (politicians) want to deliver those things, but the producers and the directors have other ideas. The influence and motive about money really are at the core of every performance. It’s a long interview but does have some value as many of the thoughts expressed by Ryan will likely affirm your own personal journey.
