      Actually most Trump supporters are uneducated towards facts (including the candidate himself who has said he hates facts, fact checking) and would easily fail a U.S. citizenship test. Hillary is not trying to build casinos because she is a politican just like Trump is not a politican so shouldn't be president. Trump constantly says being a businessman makes him perfect for president. Any moron stupid enough to believe that should not vote. Running a business is nothing like running a country and especially considering this businessman inherited his business from his father who created it. He also is a businessman who has a LONG history of treating employees horribly and various failed businesses. If you knew U.S. history you would know that he is by far the least experienced for the job. Zero political or military background. That would be the first president ever without that type of experience. People think because he is rich he is going to throw money at problems and fix them. Doesn't work that way

      Josh B that's not true. Even the naturally gifted people, who know how and what to study would do better with a teacher.
      A teacher helps you see what you don't know, they help think of things you haven't thought of, and they often hold you to a higher standard then you hold yourself.
      people can learn the fallacies, cognitive biases, deductive vs inductive, etc just by studying the Internet, but I'd take a kid with a teacher against a "did it on my own kid" any day.

    I would just like to mention that I EXPLICITLY asked Flea about Trump and not about Hillary. But you always meet twice in a lifetime:)))
    P.S. I was referring to a post he had made about Trump when I asked him and let´s be honest if you had 10 minutes with Flea and you would not only like to talk about politics, who would you ask him about, Hillary or Donald? Also just because he talks about Trump does not mean he supports Hillary. That is an assumption you can´t really deduct from this interview.

    • @copheart
      @copheart 7 ปีที่แล้ว +9

      It's a fair question. I personally, don't sit up at night wondering how Hillary could possibly get to where she is right now and why people are considering her a candidate for president. That's obvious to me (and I'm not a supporter of hers) as she's spent a lifetime in politics and had run before etc. I, along with a lot of people, both can't believe, and at the same time totally understand why someone like the Donald is taken so seriously by so many people. Flea is correct, but he also forgot to mention that a lot of these people have had to stomach 8 years seeing someone that is a shade too dark for their liking in that position. There's a huge undercurrent of racism and xenophobia that goes along with just being uneducated and uniformed that propels someone like Trump to the position he finds himself in right now.

    • @bb-of3qz
      @bb-of3qz 7 ปีที่แล้ว +4

    • @mrob611
      @mrob611 7 ปีที่แล้ว +8

      Yet what Flea says is spot on. How can anyone who devotes their entire life to himself and his wealth, often at a cost to others, be seen as someone that wants to help the average person, or anyone other than himself? He IS one of the least philanthropic billionaires. He has hurt a lot of small business and workers with his bankruptcies and didn't help those people once he recovered financially. He doesn't pay anything into the federal revenue that we need to build our infrastructure, military or national defense. He did everything in his power to evade the draft and serving our country. He also has used eminent domain to force people from their homes against their will, so that he could acquire their property for his use. I am stupefied that people trust him to do what is in their best interest.

I didn't see him for the man that he turned out to be! Trump has proven himself beyond expectations. Many still don't see it, but many more than that got a huge eye opening experience during his first term. Then now, after all this mess we are in now, I am not sure how one's opinion couldn't have changed over the past 5 years. RHCP - anti-war, Trump- stopped wars & brought peace, and did more for the "regular" people than so many presidents did before him, and definitely more than the one after him! He created so many jobs!!! Anyway, like the both of you, I respect his right to his opinion.

    refreshing to hear him speak similar sentiments the rest of Americans I know think as well; it Is sad to understand why theDouche is popular now but Flea really made a great point of sharing his personal story as an example of ways to pull those in poverty towards a healthier attitude/lifestyle/skills.
    I still remember he played one of the kids in My Own Private Idaho. He's definitely grown and experimented through out life - authentic in his advice 😎 Lovin Dark Necessities, too beautiful and deep.
    Forever awesome rock star

      ok, first - try to form your intentions more clearly so there's no confusion.
      second, I'm neither definitively a millennial or gen x person.
      3rd, pretty much every American, regardless of the generation that they're part of, has an overblown ego of entitlement. you can agree that seniors have the largest entitlement expenditure taking up our funding (military is getting slashed which is fine at the moment). every other working genedation under babyboomers are the ones that carry the burden to feed the current senior's medical bills.
      meanwhile there are more important global problems looming that make these "pit hatred between one group against another" issues evidently shallow and shortsighted in large picture perspective.
      but lets focus back to the video and my comment, k.
      there's not much critism to be said against what flea shared. move forward. best point he made is How community can provide an outlet for those less fortunate (likely the demographic that's frustrated w the liberals cause they want to blame someone beside their inability to adapt in rapidly changing times) so they may explore forms of expression and self acceptance.
      personal growth is so important....especially when all of us are going through growing pains now.
      we're suppose to be innovators and fighters of independence. not cry babies.
      time for sleeve rolling and grinding --- destruction/complaining is not a healthy option or succumb to easier exit routes, you know....the finite one to end misery.

      he needs help.
      it's becoming more and more apparent that he just doesn't seem to know any better.
      like Obama, our new president should treat the role as an honorable and heavily important responsibility - not like a business.
      our nation doesn't need irrelevant and damaging conservative morres from the past half century.
      we need someone that'll promote education and environmentalism ✊

      Flea is honest about it. sounds like hes lived it as well and come by it himself the hard way. Thats not the same as the crop of people who say this stuff as a ploy to get dates or who parrot it from on high while living in the safety of their parents house.
      Flea has a natural humiity that comes from facing real life with open eyes, and i dont think hes intended this to 'inform' anybody or break any revelations.
      hes just answering the questions hes being asked, and is very much himself in a way people mostly arent, it seems to me. yes the words are becoming commonplace but not often said and understood as completely as Flea seems to.
      You didnt see that when you watched and also seemed to expect something else. What are your motivations for criticising this?:what were you expecting? what would you rather him say or be?

    It has been demostrated that, summing it up, playing music and being in a band makes the brain work more and more, not just some parts, all of it.

And if Flea isn't enough, go check out Green Day, during one of their most recent shows, in Philadelphia, during Minority.

      Most of my influences include bands such as Radiohead, the verve, RHCP, PJ harvey, the pixies, arcadefire. To name a few.
      I use a lot of delay and effects for guitar, I guess my style could fall somewhere between shoegaze, alt rock, math rock, and experimental rock.

    I love you guys, you are a most awesome band, and I hope some day to see you live. On the topic of the new administration of which I do support with hopefulness but good results for all remain to be seen. Consider this reason for my support. I am not poor, and I am not rich either. However, what I am is the epitome of the middle class wage earning American. I am self employed and enthusiastically work 40+ hours a week for slightly less than the average annual income (google it,) and the previous administration only hurt my income. Here's how. First of all, my income taxes went up across the board by 5%. Secondly with the establishment of the Affordable Health Care Act my health insurance premiums doubled which made them not affordable for me, so I had to drop my health insurance coverage. Thirdly, Now because I don't have health insurance, I get to pay a penalty fine (2.5% of my gross income this year) for not having it because I can't afford it. Please read it again and please understand why Trump was elected. It's not because I/we hate the other side or what they stand for, it's because I'm tired of being penalized for being a hard working American. Will this administration be any better for me and other hard working Americans in my situation? Who knows at this point in time, but I'm hopeful, and I'm hopeful not just for myself but rather hopeful things can get better for all. But with all this said please understand that I don't believe anyone in Washington can really make my life significantly better, that is up to me and me alone, and honestly life is pretty good being an an average American!
