I did this interview on May 27, 2016, and at only three minutes, it remains one of my favorites of all time.
News2Share's Ford Fischer asks John McAfee, then a Libertarian presidential candidate and renowned computer scientist, what the internet has taught him about liberty. McAfee explains that the internet has revealed, "Two possible diverging paths: one, the infinite power of the human mind, magnified to this day. Two, the infinite horror of the dark side of humans."
Fischer goes on to ask McAfee about his vice presidential pick, Judd Weiss, and the new ad released by him telling its viewers to "kill politics." McAfee defines politics as "those practices and procedures needed to gain power in government and retain power in government."
"Can you think of a more horrifying concept?" he asked.
The interview concluded as a campaign staffer directed him to a New York Times interview, which he refused.
"I don't talk to the New York Times," he told the reporter. "They trashed me three and a half years ago."
Since his presidential run, McAfee has led MGTI, a company working in cryptocurrency mining and digital security.

I didn't even know he ran for president?? I would have voted for him. He's great!
He originally ran on the "Cyber Party" ticket which garnered only him, then switched to Libertarian Party where he finished third place for the nomination.
That guy is a riot, the media would wish for the good old days of Donald Trump.
Apparently he ran for president. You learn something new everyday! ha
Yea in 2016
He was the runner up I believe or 3rd runner up to Gary Johnson for libertarian party. Gary is a phony republican pretending to be a libertarian! John would of had more votes in general
He's been boring lately imo
John McAffy seems like a nice person to me. It is sad that you dont hear about simple people like him, running for American presidency on the media. Because it is impossible for simple straightforward people to be successful in American politics. The people that come to power are demon-possessed illuminati puppets. Hilary, Bush, Clinton and Obama were not normal people.
Democracy is a hoax.
This guy, McAfee, is allegedly not clean himself. Apparently, he took bribes for promoting ICOs.
I have heard these rumors but would like more evidence too
Evidence?
Just go to youtube and search on the subject. There are bots designed to trade those pumped crypto based on his tweets
I don’t doubt it
I just haven’t seen any evidence and most don’t respond. I will search for it where u said to 👍
and keep following the feed after that with date stamp and follow along the respective coin chart with exact time stamps
Disclaimer: I am just a bot trying to be helpful.
He claimed his Twitter was hacked during that period
I’m not saying he was yelling Truth maybe he lied but just saying
Remember when he was living in Belize and his neighbor got shot dead and when they sought to question John he fled the country. Definitely the actions of an innocent man.
Now that I’ve researched and u my friend are spewing the media’s story. U should do some research before calling John a murdering man
You are wrong
Dudee John Macafee is psychoo. Look up the netflix docu about him. He took over a entire island about 5 years ago. He hired an army on the island to take it. He hired hookers to shit in his mouth because he liked that. And on top of that he murderd his neighbour and moved back to the US. He moved to the US so he wouldn't be convicted for this!
This is all truee look it up!
Great interview! Mcafee a reasonably priced anti-virus software.
I have never seen in history somebody man handling cryptos like he does, pumping and dumping at will.
THanks for sharing, I knew the banks will look for ways to control crypto currencies so humans will always be enslaved, people coming back to them for loans which is one of their major trick in making profits.
Loved the NYTimes rejection at the end. John is brilliant and not afraid to speak truth to power.
totally. I was so honored he gave me, an indie journalist he barely knows, 3 minutes while the NYT get the middle finger.
He is a very interesting character.
No doubt about it. I wish he'd written a book or something, his philosophy is hard to nail down.
I like the uncut clip. Thanks for sharing. Uncut clip? Wait that's an oxymoron. Well you know what I mean.
Hahah very funny, thanks
The ending of this video is epic! Awesome footage!
I like McAfee, he's got a pretty interesting character
Presidential run..... mmhmm lol Truce!
Now THAT is how you hold a grudge!!!
When i got in the cryptocurrencies world was my first contact with this man and i must say, even though he has his flaws, he speaks some truth in there, especially the part about politics and virus.
Also, i love that he has all te tells of cocaine withdral, the amount of times he touches his nose ahaha, but hey i respect him a lot, even though he consumes drugs and pays hookers with bitcoins, at least he is using them for something instead of hodling
I didn't interview his wife but I met her too. I have to say they're a fascinating couple (between their antics and the assassination attempts)
I still need to do my own search about that assassination attempt, i only heard people talking about it on forums, do you know why it happened? i heard it was the mafia or something like that
This is simply incredible, funny lol, thanks for sharing
Nice post !
The King
well said
Great throwback 👍
I didn’t see this back in 2016
Cool interview!
Thanks!
Well, as much of a character he is, you can't really deny the points he made in this short interview. It was all so fluent that you know he's spent a lot of time thinking about the questions...
Aren't they making a film about this guy? What a character lol.
Muchas gracias por la información, sigue así

Every time I hear anything about this man I wonder how people don't realize the huge charade that he himself puts up to try and remain relevant in a world he no longer understands
I d love to spend a few days with him !
.
PUMP & DUMP only this rule they follow ....
I've been facing losses in the coins which I had been holding for a while and he made a tweet about them later.
How did you get that many impressions? I feel like people ignore my posts or I have no idea how to make most out of them.
Hi guys, can you check my blog article about futuristic smartphones and tell me if there is a need for improvement?
Whenever he mentions a coin, its goes up. But then people recently have learned that its only a temporary pump and will go down as well. Like the XVG one.
He is a pioneer and many of the thinks he says it's worth watching them.
Two directions the internet has created under liberty...I love what he learned. it's very true. The internet is a given liberty created by humans and given to humans to decide on a path to take in life...whats your direction?
McAfee 2020!
