now the head of mtv, van toffler, is saying mtv had been promised the exclusive rights to any television appearance by daft punk leading up to the v.m.a.'s. daft punk says nothing because they don't talk. but their handlers say they never promised mtv anything. so here's the deal. hyundai gave me a lot of money, okay. a big check. which, funny story, i cashed. and, and in return... [ cheers and applause ] and in return, i promised them the song of the summer which is why the hyundai executives are sitting in my front row right now. hi, guys. [ cheers and applause ] as you can tell, they're a fun group. so i said to mtv, let's reason here. these daft punk guys are french. they're not really into exclusive relationships. i thought we could have a menage-a-show and maybe they could do us both. although working twice in one month is a little more than the french are used to. [ cheers and applause ] now unfortunately... stick with me. again all true. unfortunately, van wilder over here was not into the idea. as he said in an email that was forwarded to me which i don't really have the permiss

>> i think it mtv was incredibly powerful. they realized they could tap to a generation of future voters. also, you know, this is a time when you're in your teebs and late teens and early 20s you are most passionate about thingses in your life. they realize if you could turn that passion to politics, it would be a really incredible force. regardless if i agreed or disagreed with the politics of the people who served over me as my bosses. i liked the fact they wanted engage people. i liked the fact they wanted people to express and learn about their own political leanings and feelings. and every once awhile i jump in and get a little bloody and mix it up with them. i thought that was for the benefit of all. because when you challenge one another, when you really learn it is what you believe and why you believe it. it will make you a better person for it. not just politically but all around. >> you call the mtv chooser or loose campaign. choose clinton and get rid of bush. >> that's what it felt like. and a lot of people in the

when i got to mtv and i didn't want to be fired. one of the things i try to do is keep politics to myself yet i also enjoy political discourse.net. if i heard someone talking who sounded uninformed, i'd like to jump in and correct course. >> host: why did you keep your politics private? >> guest: mtv was known for being pretty reckless. a lot of our boss is where baby boomers. i came in in the middle of the chooser this campaign and the network had a lot of access to bill clinton. i'm not saying they're pushing bill clinton, but a lot of people excited about the idea of the clinton v. they did not try to hide their politics. so at some point, i was outed by lloyd grove of the "washington post." >> host: would have been nine? are you allowed to talk politics on the air? >> guest: i was encouraged because i wasn't the host of a political show. i was encouraged to talk about volleyball or auto repair. they want to talk about the music. i did have a lot of interviews with physicians who consider themselves to be political and occasional

when i moved to seattle and i left mtv that i refined my voice as a libertarian because at mtv i was given iran a and it sure did meyer lemons i had the great fortune to you do talk radio and it is very leftists but if you get outside of seattle people are more conservative people who don't even know they are libertarians and that is what i really started to engage in the discussion to bring people to the light to realize for themselves and their belief is really limited government and let them do what they do best on their own and they're the best barometer for their choices in action and said i always felt that way but now i just found out more with issues and being on talk radio and righty in working for reason has held that. >> host: would you think about the current political situation in america? >> guest: it is very interesting. ripe for a libertarian group of people to really show them how you doing it and how people's lives can be better because now we see in so many ways that people would not imagine four or five years ago that a terrifyingly force if you stop and think abo

and that was awesome, and we don't see nearly as much of that as we used to see on mtv.certain about the children was misplaced. it was tv 14. i think as adults it can be hard for us to look at a 14 year old and realize they are starting to be interested in this stuff. but when we were 14 we thought it was appropriate to do then. >> well, i'm not sure there was that kind of access that you could just switch on the tv at a very popular event that so many kids are watching. we could never have seen guys. >> when i was 14 years old the prince get off video was really popular, and that basically showed like a barely clothed fine. dana? >> i think the way the sexualization of girls has become rampant in all parts of the culture has shifted wildly since we were growing up. you can look at any -- the ways that pornography is so accessible, and we're in a world where we are surrounded by sexualized images all the time. mtv is desorting to a very debasing view of sexuality. >> shawn collins on twitter asks is the problem with a women was sexualized on tv, or miley cyrus showed a
