Stephens didn’t mean in a “Killing Fields” sort of way, but in reference to the revolutionary concept of “year zero” which states “all culture and traditions within a society must be completely destroyed or discarded and a new revolutionary culture must replace it, starting from scratch.” He clarified immediately on the show:
