Ed Asner: Don't the vast majority of American people think they've lied already?

David Swanson: Oh yes.

Ed Asner: So I don't think we have to pursue proving they lied, because the suspicion of the majority of the people. I think what could happen, what might happen is, with Democrats in power, and investigative possibilities, that they will carry on these investigations, which will take too God-damned long, of course...

David Swanson: Yes.


Ed Asner: ...but that out of it, people will begin to sweat and in sweating and then covering their asses, they may bring up crimes that we have not heard about.

David Swanson: Well, we are going to be working nonstop the minute this election is over, through the holidays into next year on impeachment, and it sounds like you're more than willing to be speaking for that cause as well.

Ed Asner: Well, yeah, I just want them to go away, and I don't want this kind of crime to be so easily perpetrated on the blind electorate.

David Swanson: A lot of people are afraid to speak out this way about these things. Why are you not? You are a working actor, you have to have employment.

Ed Asner: Well, nobody has denied me employment. I'm more concerned about a blacklist I got the other day of companies who refuse to advertise on Air America.

David Swanson: Right.

Ed Asner: The list is mind-boggling, and we would probably starve to death and bleed to death and walk to death if we observe the blacklist in return on those companies, because it's across the board.

David Swanson: There are even departments of the federal government in there. So it's our own money.

Ed Asner: Yeah.

David Swanson: Yeah.

Ed Asner: I don't know in this great land of ours why there isn't some form of law that these individuals can be sued on the grounds of restraint of trade.

David Swanson: I don't know.
