More From Jonah Goldberg

I've tried to get better about weighing what i think the accessibility of an idea is against the cost of executing it. i've tried to be smarter about that, because if you're not smart about that, you're going to be unemployed. but i'm still mystified about what works for people. and i'm not talking about my movies, i'm talking in general. i'm mystified by the stuff that doesn't work. i'm mystified by what's going on in the critical side, too.

I'm mystified by the stuff that doesn't work. i'm mystified by what's going on in the critical side, too. stuff i like is getting trashed and stuff that is being praised i think is terrible. i don't really feel in sync with what's happening, but at the same time, what i think keeps me afloat is that i try not to be, and don't want to be, very indulgent. i try to make the films as lean as possible, and to not spend a lot of time crawling up my own ass creatively.

I challenge hillary clinton; take away your secret service. take it away now! take away your secret service! dismiss them! have no security around you. have no guns around you, hillary. i dare you! i dare you! obama, same thing. drop your guns, obama! take your secret service away, obama. take it all away! leave the white house unguarded, obama. let everybody know there's no guns on the white house grounds, obama. you know what would happen in 30 seconds? both of those people would no longer be on planet earth.

Even in this case, whatever it is, it's about [barack] obama. "how did obama do at the memorial? did obama come off well? will obama's poll numbers go up? did he really reach people?" the hell that there are 53 people dead. nobody cares about them, like nobody cared about the four dead in benghazi. all the media cared about, how did obama do?

I never wanted to grow a thicker skin; i felt a real sense of pride in my thin skin, and in a weird way, i still do, because it's my thin skin that allows me to empathize with other people. it's the thing that allows me to create vulnerable art. it's the thing that allows me to create other feelings and make songs that actually grab people and touch people. i feel like i've spent my life fighting that thicker skin because i don't want to become an embittered asshole.

Obama had the media; obama had the judiciary; obama had all kinds of support. at an obama press conference, typical question, "what enchants you?" i mean, obama was never challenged seriously by the media.
