Even his detractors need him, every morning, whipping from his radio show. Or in its columns in THE WORLD. He, resigned, admits to being "a pop icon".

Are you aware that people use memes with their phrases or their face to communicate on whatsapp and social networks? (the editor shows him one) I know what happens and what I do is not approach, because then I will end up doing the clown to leave. It is an effort of the old to be permanently young and, at the same time, preserve the privileges of age. There we are in a really dangerous moment of zombification. It has some castration of the possibilities of speech. We are reducing everything to a dizzy one, there is a whole 'emoticon' generation. Do you have to resign yourself? These are things of fashion, like 'selfies': but who cares and why you think you are important. Man, if only for decorum, would have to be controlled. Every time one takes a selfie on a cliff and falls I say: look, one less idiot. It is a stupid banalization of existence. We live for more years, we are healthier, we are more handsome ... but every day more silly. Signs of the times. It is that people who are not worth anything else already come to politics and then, above, is that the mechanism of Communication has become something so basic, so rude, so clumsy, so poor ... In the 40 years we have been in democracy I have seen all the traffic. And before people struggled to speak well. But this to say any woman who doesn't go far beyond belching to go out 10, 15 seconds on television ... this was unimaginable. What is humor? It is what allows society to breathe. Civilization begins when humor enters the language. Explain, please. When you do political criticism, when the power is very strong - and in Spain the power is very strong, especially with regard to the media - a resource you have is make fun of the powerful. And, somehow, the one who can't complain feels identified. It is not a bleeding thing, you are not shooting at him, but his power is being lowered by laughing. That, for example, in Cuba they have survived Castroism, as they say "fucking", mocking. How many 'federiquismos' have you coined? I never keep track. I'm inventing on the fly, for example, when did you create 'podemita'? I guess as soon as it came out. 'Maricomplejines' is the one that would have made me rich if I had registered it. Do you miss the previous president of the Government? Although it is good for Spain to leave, Rajoy was inexhaustible. Because in addition you could put on your skin and say any perfectly 'rajoyana' geese. That surely said it. Like "in politics sometimes you have to go crazy, hehe." Or "those chatterboxes." Well, "talkative" has not been said in Spain since the middle of the 19th century. Only Mariano, who comes from a casino in a town in Lugo 150 years ago, can use it. Is insult an art? It depends on whether it is beautiful. The insult soez has no value. There are some very refined ones that have a point of insult but also of defense. For example, when I called Soraya 'Baby Macbeth'. There is a point of insult, about "baby", tiny, and MacBeth, about bad. But, at the same time, there is a hidden wink: that she is not 'lady', she is still a 'baby' who wants to be 'lady'. Even for bad it lacks level. Why do we get high? Because life is not easily bearable, it is not a balance. Then the drug helps you balance even if it is a night or a season or exams. Of course, the problem is when you have a temperament of addictions. And I have it. That's why I don't drink. I have played twice in my life, bingo, and won. There I knew that, if I continued, I would end up losing my shirt. Do we just like things that do us wrong? What one should not deny is what makes him curious. In my case, it has always been sex, politics, art, advertising ... What has never caused me curiosity is money. That's why I'm not rich. What else doesn't appeal to you? Great meetings. I don't go to concerts: people sweat and it's nasty. As I have never liked, because I do not impose it either. Already from a certain age, I have done in life almost always what I felt like and that is almost the only thing I can presume. Blaspheme? Although I am not a believer, it costs me. If I am very pissed off, but I have to be very pissed off, yes. And pray? No, no, no. It must be because I am vaccinated, after being in Cope for many years. As Garcia said, faith has not been able to take it away from me, but the hobby ... Conflicts, you know.Do you especially regret something I said? Normally, when I said something bad, I don't realize it. a German court did not extradite Puigdemont, called to take action against that country. Apology of terrorism? That has been manipulated by Boye, who is uncle this, the collaborator of the ETA. What I said is that Spain, against Germany and against any country that does not collaborate with Spanish justice, has to retaliate. It is common sense. What is it that a court of a lost village of Schleswig-Holstein prevents a coup from being handed over to Spanish justice? No way. Germans here are treated as full citizens and Spaniards cannot be treated in Germany as citizens without full rights. But then, of course, the TV3 cataluphs arrive and then they ride the chicken. Would you say it happens only with Germany? This is a very basic issue. Who is Macron to say who has to agree with who in Spain? Does anyone imagine a Spanish politician telling him with whom he has to agree in Marseille or Bordeaux? But what have these guys believed? They can be racist, but we must not admit it. Because it seems that it is normal for a German a Frenchman to piss in us, but it is not. Of course, they won't do it for me. Not without complaining. Taking the word coined by you: What percentage of your listeners are 'podemites'? Maybe 10 or 15%. The point is that I have done 'Memory of communism'. And since almost none of them have read what they think should have been read, they listen to me to save effort: "Bettelheim, Chou En-lai ... This bastard knows it." Is that there was a time when the communists read, did not make emoticons. Is there a correlation between getting up early like you and being permanently in a bad mood? On the contrary, I am always in a good mood. What happens is that the bad guys like me very badly. It is the biorhythm. I wake up with a lot of energy, wanting to do everything: I could cut a tree What envy of Carlos Alsina? Some Tertullians. Of course, you can pay them more. What have religions contributed to humanity? Above all, an idea of ​​the fear of sin that is the fear of the law. Somehow, what religion does is magnify the law. And civilization is based on the existence of a law that everyone has to comply with: you will not kill, you will not steal, you will not abuse a child, you will not hit an old woman ... And that there are no poor people? I do not want any poor . I want everyone to live well and, if it's rich, better. The poor man is debased because he has no choice. Only rich children can take pictures with those who have nothing. And Islam? As Bertrand Russell said, communism and Islam are practical religions: they are based on something useful, on the power that allows you to control a society . The pig thing prevents you from having trichinosis and the communists prevent the non-communist from coming to power and civil wars because you have a single party dictatorship. The problem with Islam is that it is incompatible with freedom: "Islam" means "submission" to God. You talk a lot about freedom. How would you define it? Something you feel is a lack. Or as something always in danger. Because the most difficult and the most unpopular thing in the world is freedom: what people want is security. On the other hand, freedom is always a risk. What happens is that it has been shown to be the best mechanism of coexistence and prosperity that human nature has. The human being is very rare, born without doing and never done at all. And how it works well is with freedom: putting the leg and rectifying. Same with the market economy: it is apparently absurd, but it has been shown to be the only one that works. Unfortunately, we live in an era of an absolutely amazing new tyranny. Years ago I published a book, 'The silent dictatorship', on totalitarian mechanisms. I will have to make a new one that is 'The loud dictatorship'. Never, but never in the history of modernity, from the nineteenth to the twenty-first century, has there been a situation in which such a resounding minority is telling you what you have to do in all areas of life. A tyranny that has replaced Marxism and they are also made by them: the communist tyranny who disguises herself as a feminist, ecologist, animalist, vegetableist ... but always commanding. It is never "let me be an animalist", but "I, as an animalist, tell you that you cannot go to the bulls." Tolerance, which was the traditional idea of ​​freedom, has become the opposite. It is what Robespierre and other mass murderers said: that one cannot be tolerant of intolerant people, so they tolerately intolerance and cut off their neck. Now we are living a kind of superchery and permanent hypocrisy, but violent. The movements of the #MeToo are obscene by brutality and, at the same time, by hypocrisy.What bothers you most about the current 'progressive roll'? What is a parody of the American progressive, which in itself He is quite stupid and sinister. It is a country of Puritans who has taken that intolerant side of that intolerant thing of Salem's witches: we must burn the one who bothers. Who bothers? Well, I don't know, the one that bothers. If yesterday was fag today will be heterosexual; if yesterday it was black, today it will be white; Yes yesterday woman, well I am man. But ... why do you have to burn people? But what mania do these have to send and burn. You are not protectionist, but ... But nothing. Well, yes: the communist countries, China, which does not respect intellectual property. The problem is that we have become accustomed to the measuring rod imposed by scoundrels. In Spain the most tragic thing we are living is to see the ETAs boasting their crimes and, at the same time, they are 'models' with which we must agree. And, instead, the victims of those crimes turn out to be the opposite. Of course, for what I am not protectionist it is for the crime and even less for the revenue of the crime. In Spain the normal and what most of the media - because the worst of Spain are the media, worse than the parties and that justice, something of a horrific sectarianism and also getting worse - they say being with the party Otegi and Josu Ternera is a progressive thing and, instead, being with Ortega Lara's party is execrable. Well, what is execrable is that difference. What is a façade? What a red man tells you that he does not want to be called "red." You are? What I am is an enemy of the reds who use "faca". They call me both red and faca. Moreover, some of Vox tell me that I am still a communist and others that how is it possible for a communist to be fascist. I'm already a few years old and I've been writing books against communism for 40 years. Man, I shouldn't be very communist. But very fascist either, because I was against Franco and I am against all dictatorships. It is the same, we have entered into a situation of such intellectual degeneration that imprecation is already enough. But I always say that if you have not been called "facha", you are doing something wrong. He said to Pablo Iglesias: "You remind me of myself when I was an asshole." How were you then, nicer than him. The essential difference is that I was good at the bottom, and he at the bottom is bad. What do you miss about Maoism? Nothing at all. That was a ridiculous chic Maoism that lasted a few months. The only thing that helped me was to read me a lot of communist bibliography that would now be unable to even begin. What happens to the left with sex? Well, you want to send in sex too. That was expressed by Lenin when he said that soul engineers were needed. Lenin, who totally abhorred sex. The left does not quite understand that sex is something individual and insists that it is something social, because they intend to cancel the person. Since when is fantasy a crime? It is to get into the lives of others just like those who banned Gilda's cleavage in the 40s. There have been black cures in Spain and now we have red cures and, above all, red 'presbyters', that those have a horrible danger. What mania to control what I like, what I can say and what I do not ... Get into your affairs and learn to read and write, which would be the most practical. What has changed since he first published ' Barcelona, ​​the city that was', where he lamented the death of that cosmopolitan city at the hands of nationalism and now, which has been reissued? When I was this spring at the Book Fair, I saw many people from Barcelona coming only to that he signed the book, very young people, born there, who said: we are of the resistance and we will also win. With an impetus that politicians do not have now, has Spain lost Catalonia? I think the only thing that has not been seriously tested with nationalism is repression. There has never been repression of nationalism in Catalonia and it is time for there to be in all areas. You go against Spain because you think that going on a separatist plan gives you money and power. Well now it will cost you money, prestige and power. You will lose everything and also the problems that you have caused you will have but centuplicados, because we Spaniards are more and you will find out. That the Count of Godó lose money instead of earning it by serving another dictatorship. Because I have only seen that classist and corrupt society function decently to the marrow as is the Catalan in the dictatorship. Or in that area between dictatorship and democracy. But as soon as he could be free, he established a dictatorship much worse than what he had. Tarradellas nailed it: "Pujol is going to impose a white dictatorship that we are going to remember with nostalgia for Franco's." Is there a Spanish nationalism? Think the thief that all are of his condition, but it is not true. Spain does not impose anything on anyone. Of course: it should be possible to study in Spanish in Spain and it is already prohibited and persecuted in one third of the territory. That only happens here. Because one thing is not to be a nationalist and another is to be an idiot. Jiménez Losantos, scourge of Vox. What happened here? It's not that I face Vox, it's that I face people who are adventurous of politics. In my program I have had all the candidates of the PP, Vox and Citizens saying that it did not matter who they voted because it was about throwing to the left of power. Then, that some posh ones like the Monastery and the Espinosita de los Monteros come to say that they break the negotiations with the PP because they don't care where they put them, if in power or in the opposition ... Of course because you are a rich guy millionaire and you do not know what it is that taxes raise a socialist government. Or maybe you don't pay or you don't mind going to trial. But for Madrid it is essential that there is a right-wing government. Many people short with this issue. Vox introduces himself and I find it admirable that many young people have voted for Spain for the first time. For Spain ... but it turns out that it is for the Department of Chamberí. No scams, please. It is possible that these, who are children put to politicians 10 minutes, do not care, but if Vox breaks with the PP in Madrid, Vox will disappear and also be well disappeared. Say something good about Vox.Vox is defending things against the Law of Gender Violence and the Law of Historical Memory that only they defend. That's why you have to support Vox. I think Santiago Abascal is a good person who is surrounded by good people and opportunists, as happens in every newborn party. When talking to you, am I 'bleaching'? I guess for those who will call you "faca", well yes. But there has come a time when I am almost a pop icon. After seeing those memes, I think I have to resign. With the icons, as with the emoticons, people do what they want. What do those of Teruel have that nobody else has? Well, an asshole that only the Turolenses say: above all, that we are very comfortable. Because we have less population density than Lapland and Mauritania. There is no loose guy more loose than one from Teruel. Which proves that it is the cradle of genuine liberalism, that it is only one and around, nobody. There are few people, but we spread a lot.
