आईएसआईएस के सबसे बड़े प्रचार संबंधी हथकंडों में सहायता कर्मियों और पत्रकारों के सिर कलम करना शामिल था। क्या 'इमनी', यानी विदेश में लड़ाके भेजने वाला यह वही संगठन है जिसने जेम्स फोले, जॉन कैंटली और कायला मुलर को बंधक बना रखा था?

One of ISIS' biggest propaganda coups was the beheadings of the aid workers and journalists. Is [Emni], the group that is exporting fighters overseas, also the one that was holding James Foley and John Cantlie and Kayla Mueller?

ट्रंप एक बेहद अनोखे उम्मीदवार हैं। वह बहुत ज़्यादा ध्रुवीकरण करने वाले हैं। लेकिन वामपंथियों में भी मुझे वैसी ही संकीर्ण सोच दिखाई देती है। शायद गुस्सा थोड़ा कम हो, लेकिन हिलेरी क्लिंटन ऐसा कुछ नहीं कर सकतीं जिससे देश के बहुसंख्यक लोग उन्हें वोट देने से रोक सकें। आप ऐसे लोगों को देखते हैं जो सिर्फ वही बात मानना चाहते हैं जो वे सुनना चाहते हैं, और जो बात उन्हें पसंद नहीं, उसे सिरे से खारिज कर देते हैं।

Trump is such a unique candidate. He's incredibly polarizing. But I see the same kind of blinders on the left. There's perhaps a little less anger, but there is nothing that Hillary Clinton can do to stop most of this nation from voting for her. You do see people who are just buying into the narrative they want to hear, and they are pushing out the narrative they don't.

पूरी [अमेरिकी] संस्कृति में चीजों को छोटा करने का एक चलन है। लोग बहुत अधिक टेलीविजन देख रहे हैं, और उनकी मानसिकता वैसी ही हो गई है। मुझे लगता है कि लोग थिएटर में ज्यादा देर बैठने से सचमुच कतराते हैं। वे इसके आदी नहीं हैं।

There is a trend in the whole [U.S.] culture toward making things shorter. People have been watching too much television, and they have a television mentality. I think people really are wary of sitting in a theatre too long. They're not used to it.

हम एक ऐसी पीढ़ी को तैयार कर रहे हैं जिसके पास विचारों, रुचियों और भावनाओं का बहुत अकाल है। उसे हर कीमत पर मनोरंजन चाहिए, लेकिन खुद का मनोरंजन करने की कला उसे नहीं आती। वह अपने कुछ साथियों को पैसे देकर वह काम करवाती है जो बहुसंख्यक लोग अब खुद के लिए नहीं कर सकते। यही अंदरूनी खोखलापन सबसे खतरनाक प्रकार की ऊब को जन्म देता है

We are raising a generation that has a woefully small stock of ideas and interests and emotions. It must be amused at all costs but it has little skill in amusing itself. It pays some of its members to do what the majority can no longer do for themselves. It is this inner poverty that makes for the worst kind of boredom.

मुझे मानना पड़ेगा कि मैं कभी टेलीविज़न नहीं देखता; कभी-कभार कुछ देख लेता हूँ, लेकिन मैं इसके बिना ही बड़ा हुआ हूँ। मेरे पिता कहा करते थे, 'मुझे टेलीविज़न से नफरत है'; उनके बचपन के दिनों में यह नया-नया आया था और उनके पास यह नहीं था, इसलिए उन्हें नहीं लगता था कि मुझे इसकी कोई ज़रूरत है।

I have to admit, I never watch television; once in a while I'll see things, but I grew up without it. I had a father who said, 'I hate television'; it came into being when he was a kid, and he didn't have it, so he didn't think I needed it.

मीडिया कंपनियाँ ही तय करती हैं कि किसी उम्मीदवार को "क कवरेज" मिलेगी या नहीं—और यह इस बात से जुड़ा होता है कि उसने कितना चंदा जुटाया है। इसके बाद न्यूज़ चैनल यह अंदाज़ा लगा लेते हैं कि वह उम्मीदवार कमर्शियल एयरटाइम खरीदने पर कितना पैसा खर्च करेगा—तो यह कानूनी भ्रष्टाचार और लेन-देन वाली न्यूज़ कवरेज का एक ऐसा चक्र है जो एक-दूसरे को बढ़ावा देता है।

The media companies control whether a candidate gets "coverage" - which itself is tied to the knowledge of how much he or she has raised. The networks then know how much money the candidate is likely to spend on commercial airtime buys - so, this is a reinforcing system of legal corruption and quid pro quo news coverage.

अब पुराने नज़ारे किसी मज़ाक जैसे लगते हैं: गुप्त अनुष्ठानों की वह रहस्यमयी दुनिया, ऊंची दीवारों वाले बंगलों के पीछे छिपे उम्रदराज डॉन, और बदला लेने तथा दूसरों पर हुकूमत चलाने की सनक। सालों तक, माफिया उपन्यासों, फिल्मों और मल्बरी स्ट्रीट की दबी जुबान की गई बातों का ही एक हिस्सा बनकर रहा था।

जब लोग यह कहते हैं कि "रॉक संगीत मर चुका है," तो इससे हालात और बदतर हो रहे हैं। मैं इसके बजाय यह कहना चाहूँगा कि "रॉक संगीत अब भूमिगत (अंडरग्राउंड) हो चुका है।" हमें हर मुमकिन मोर्चे पर दरकिनार किया जा रहा है। रॉक रेडियो पर अब रॉक बैंड्स के गाने तक नहीं बजाए जाते। इसलिए, उन्होंने हमारे पास अपने प्रशंसकों तक पहुँचने का लगभग हर जरिया छीन लिया है।

When people are saying "rock is dead," it's making everything worse. I would like reword and say "rock is underground." We're really being alienated from every possible facet. Rock radio doesn't even play rock bands anymore. So, they've pretty much stripped away every outlet for us to reach the fans.
