The Rise of Jordan Peterson

Jordan B. Peterson: The earliest political memory I have, it was when Robert Kennedy was shot. I don't know how old I was, probably four or five. I watched his funeral and I thought, "I'm going to have a funeral like that."

[off-camera questioner: "What made you think you would have a funeral like that?"]

Jordan B. Peterson: I have no idea--I have no idea why I thought that.

[off-camera questioner: "What struck you about the funeral?"]

Jordan B. Peterson: That it was--well, that it was a very large public event. That there was a lot of grief that was associated with it. That was the first thing that really, kind of, had an impact on me, I suppose, that was part of the outside political world, but I was pretty young when that happened.
