The host claims that politicians often act like inauthentic robots, which ultimately works against them by distancing them from the electorate.

“I am part I wonder if that's actually acting against them I think there's almost this political kind of um this political I don't know philosophy or whatever where you kind of have to be a little bit cagey you kind of have to never really answer a question”

The mayor argues that politicians often have to be inauthentic because they must follow collective responsibility and fear their honest words being weaponized by opponents.

“I'm not going to answer that question honestly because anything else is going to use against me you can't tell the truth because someone might use it against you I think most MPS have got to be inauthentic”
