Rick Sanchez welcomes filmmaker Sean Stone, son of legendary writer/director Oliver Stone to discuss his extraordinary upbringing as well as the current state of US politics.  Stone begins the conversation by touching briefly on his childhood and telling stories about being on the set of “Salvador” when he was 6 months old and the set of “Platoon” when he was 2.  Stone and Sanchez go on to discuss a variety of topics including the ways that today’s politicians are profiting economically from their positions, the corruption that exists in today’s corporate media, the differences between being a critic and a cynic, and the dangerous path that the US government is following by being beholden to military contractors.  They conclude by asserting that instead of trying to cope with the state of the world today, it is much better to attempt to cope with the spiritual side of the world because, at the end of the day, people are inherently good.
