Call Larry Flynt whatever you want. But don’t call him a hypocrite. Hustler magazine’s publisher, a 74-year-old self-titled “smut peddler who cares,” is still as honest and unfiltered as they come.

He shared his worldview during a visit to Truthdig Editor in Chief Robert Scheer’s communications class at the University of Southern California. Flynt entertained and enlightened students and guests with his thoughts on democracy, freedom of speech, pornography, the 2016 election and more.

We captured the conversation with Evrybit.
