( LAUGHTER ) THIS IS A MOTOROLA FLIP PHONE FROM, LIKE, 1997. >> YEAH, YOU DON'T HAVE TO-- YOU CAN WALK AROUND WITH IT. >> Stephen: IT'S MAGIC, MY FRIEND. YOU HAVE TO PLUG IT IN. YOU HAVE TO PLUG IT IN EVENTUALLY. >> DO YOU? >> Stephen: YES. >> OH, YEAH, YEAH, YEAH. BUT YOU CAN WALK AROUND ON THE STREET. YOU DON'T HAVE TO USE IT JUST IN YOUR HOUSE.

I'M SORRY. >> Stephen: BUT YOU'RE A CONSUMMATE PROFESSIONAL. YOU THROW YOURSELF INTO YOUR ROLES WITH COMPLETE ABANDON. >> I DO. >> Stephen: LIKE IN THIS ONE, YOU PLAY THE FATHER OF ALL THESE SIX KIDS OUT IN THE WILDERNESS. >> YEAH. >> Stephen: AGAIN, TOTALLY OFF GRID, LIVING IN-- WHAT ARE YOU LIVING IN A BUS OR SOMETHING? WHAT ARE YOU LIVING IN. >> A TEE TEE. >> Stephen: DO YOU THINK THIS WOULD BE A GOOD WAY TO TEACH CHILDREN, A GOOD WAY TO RAISE THEM? >> HONESTLY IT, DOESN'T MATTER. YOU DON'T HAVE TO WIN OUT IN THE WOODS WOODZ. BUT I THINK THE IDEA, HONESTLY, TO BE TRUTHFUL, AT ALL TIMESES NOT MATTER HOW YOUNG THE KID IS, NO MATTER WHAT THE SUBJECT, WHETHER IT'S DEATH, SEX, ANYTHING, JUST TELL THEM THE THE TRUTH, NO MATTER WHAT AGE THEY ARE. I THINK THAT'S GOOD. AND HAVE OPEN DISCOURSE AND, YOU KNOW, ENCOURAGE THEM TO THINK FOR THEMSELVES AND TO BE ABLE TO DEFEND THEIR IDEAS. I THINK THAT'S ALL GOOD. >> Stephen: WELL WE HAVE A LITTLE CLIP HERE OF-- ( APPLAUSE ) WE HAVE A CLIP OF-- IT'S YOU ON THE FAMILY BUS TALKING TO THE KIDS ABOUT WHAT YOU'RE GOING TO HAVE TO DO AS A FAMILY OR HOW YOU MIGHT HAVE TO CONFORM, BECAUSE MOM IS ACTUALLY BACK IN THE CITY BECAUSE SHE HAS SOME-- >> PROBLEMS. >> Stephen: SOME PROBLEMS THAT HAVE TO BE DEALT WITH IN THE CITY SO YOU'RE REINTEGRATING BACK INTO SOCIETY AND THIS IS YOU TELLING THEM HOW LIFE IS. >> YEAH. >> Stephen: ANOTHER JIM? >> POWERFUL, CONTROLLED THE LIVES OF THE POWERLESS. AND THAT'S THE WAY THE WORLD WORKS. IT'S UNJUST, AND IT'S UNFAIR. BUT THAT'S JUST TOO DAMN BAD. WE HAVE TO SHUT UP AND ACCEPT IT. ( BLEEP ) THAT. ( APPLAUSE ) THAT WAS-- YOU KNOW, I MEAN, IT'S ALSO A ROAD TRIP. THE KIDS INSIST ON GOING TO SEE THE MOM, EVEN THOUGH I'VE BEEN TOLD BY MY IN-LAWS, WHO ARE QUITE A BIT DIFFERENT. THEY'RE VERY CONSERVATIVE, SORT OF NORMAL PEOPLE, NOT LIKE US, SAVAGES. AND WE'VE BEEN-- I'VE BEEN FORBIDDEN TO COME ANYWHERE NEAR THEIR DAUGHTER. AND THE KIDS INSIST ON GOING ON THIS ROAD TRIP, AND THAT'S WHEN EVERYTHING STARTS TO GO HAYWIRE. >> Stephen: HOW MUCH OF THAT IS WHAT YOU'RE LIKE? COULD YOU GIVE THAT SPEECH AND END IT WITH ( BLEEP ) THAT? IS THAT HOW YOU LIVE YOUR LIFE? BECAUSE YOU KNOW YOU'RE NOT-- >> LIKE TO MY SON, COULD I SAY THAT? >> Stephen: DO ANYBODY. NOT JUST RAISING A CHILD, BUT IS THAT HOW YOU FEEL, LIKE YOU HAVE TO-- DO YOU YOURSELF SPREAD A MESSAGE OF NONCONFORMITY? BECAUSE I KNOW YOU'RE NOT CHOOSING BETWEEN TRUMP AND CLINTON IN THIS ELECTION. >> NO, I'M NOT. I'M VOTING FOR JILL STEIN FOR THE SAME REASON I SUPPORTED BERNIE SANDERS, YOU KNOW, BECAUSE SHE'S TALKING IN A MEANINGFUL WAY ABOUT MANY THINGS THAT AREN'T DISCUSSED IN THE DEBATES. >> Stephen: LIKE WHAT? >> THEY'RE NOT REALLY GOING INTO CLIMATE CHANGE IN A BIG WAY. THEY'RE SUMMER NOT TALKING ABOUT OVERSPENDING IN THE MILITARY. THEY'RE NOT TALKING ABOUT-- ( APPLAUSE ) THEY'RE NOT TALKING ABOUT FOREIGN POLICY. I MEAN TRUMP AND CLINTON ARE TRYING TO OUTDO EACH OTHER SAYING, "I'M GOING TO KICK ASS HERE. I'M GOING TO KICK ASS THERE." SHE HAS PROVEN TO US SHE LIKES TO DO THAT AND NOT ALWAYS THE BEST IDEA WHEN SHE DOES THAT AT TIMES, AND SHE'S BELLICOSE. TRUMP, WHO KNOW WHAT HE WILL DO. AS FAR AS FOREIGN POLICY, I WOULD SAY THEY TRUST HER ABOUT AS FAR AS I COULD THROW TRUMP. >> Stephen: SO TO YOU, THERE'S NO DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE TWO ESSENTIALLY? IT'S LIKE CURSE ON BOTH THEIR HOUSES. >> I DO HONESTLY THINK IT'S ONE OF THE-- ONE OF THE POOREST-- MAYBE THE POOREST CHOICE WE'VE HAD IN AN ELECTION IN MY LIFETIME. AND IT'S UNFORTUNATE. AND I'VE HAD A LOT OF PEOPLE-- AND I UNDERSTAND THEIR POINT OF VIEW, YOU KNOW, FRIENDS AND STRANGERS, PUBLICLY AND PRIVATE, GO AFTER MEA&SAY, "HOW COULD YOU DO THAT? YOU'RE NAIVE. YOU'RE STUPID. YOU'RE ELITIST. YOU'RE A PATSY FOR TRUMP." I JUST DON'T WANT TO GET TO THE END OF MY LIFE AND LOOK BACK AND SAY I DIDN'T VOTE MY CONSCIENCE EVER WHEN IT DIDN'T MATTER. AND YOU CAN MAKE AN EXCUSE EVERY YEAR FOR NOT VOTING FOR A THIRD PARTY. I DON'T KNOW. I WANT TO VOTE MY CONSCIENCE AND FEEL RIGHT ABOUT IT. >> Stephen: DO YOU LIVE IN THE UNITED STATES? >> YES, I DO. I WON'T BE FOR LONG? IS THAT WHAT YOU'RE SAYING? >> Stephen: I HAVE SOME EVIDENCE HERE THAT YOU ACTUALLY ARE A NONCONFORMIST AND YOU SPREAD THE SPIRIT OF NONCONFORMITY, BECAUSE THIS IS YOU AND ALL THE CHILDREN IN THIS MOVIE. AND THIS IS YOU ON THE RED CARPET AT THE CANNES FILM FESTIVAL. IT'S TRUE? >> YES, IT IS. >> Stephen: CAN YOU EXPLAIN HOW THIS CAME ABOUT? ( LAUGHTER ). >> I THINK OUR MIDDLE FINGERS HAVE BEEN BLURRED OUT. >> Stephen: THEY HAVE BEEN BLURRED OUT BECAUSE YOU'RE ON CBS. >> AH! THEY'RE GREAT KIDS. I MEAN THEY'RE SO ON, BEADIENT. ( LAUGHTER ) THEY'RE SO ON, BEADIENT. NO, WE HAD A REALLY WONDERFUL TIME AT CANNES. AND WE MAY NOT BE INVITED TO GO BACK. >> Stephen: YOU WILL LIVE IN THE TEE PEA AGAIN. >> THAT'S RIGHT. >> Stephen: THANKS FOR BEING HERE. LISTEN ON, THE OFF CHANCE JILL STEIN IS NOT ELECTED PRESIDENT ON TUESDAY, WILL YOU COME BACK AND TALK TO US AGAIN ABOUT WHOEVER YOU'RE GOING TO VOTE FOR THE NEXT TIME? >> YOU'RE NOT RUNNING THIS TIME. I KNOW YOU RAN -- >> YOU COULD WRITE ME IN IF YOU WANT TO. >> IF TRUMP WINS, WOULD YOU CONSIDER BE SECRETARY OF STATE? I MEAN -- >> IF TRUMP WINS, I'M MOVING TO WHEREVER YOU'RE GOING. ( LAUGHTER ) ( APPLAUSE ) >> Stephen: "CAPTAIN FANTASTIC" IS NOW OUT ON DVD AND ON DEMAND. WE'LL BE RIGHT BACK WITH PATTON OSWALT.
