1 00:00:01,840 --> 00:00:06,120 Speaker 1: Broadcasting live from the Abraham Lincoln Radio Studio, the George 2 00:00:06,200 --> 00:00:10,720 Speaker 1: Washington Broadcast Center, Jack Armstrong and Joe Getty. Arm Strong 3 00:00:10,760 --> 00:00:17,640 Speaker 1: and Jetty, I know he arms strong and Yetty. 4 00:00:23,560 --> 00:00:25,919 Speaker 2: We talk to our Republican colleagues all the time. I 5 00:00:26,000 --> 00:00:27,560 Speaker 2: talked to them all in the gym. When you're a 6 00:00:27,600 --> 00:00:30,160 Speaker 2: sixty year old on a bike panting in your shorts, 7 00:00:31,160 --> 00:00:34,960 Speaker 2: the inhibitions sort of fall away. 8 00:00:37,880 --> 00:00:41,680 Speaker 3: You know, I'm not here to posture shame, but for 9 00:00:41,760 --> 00:00:43,800 Speaker 3: a guy who seems to be spending most of his 10 00:00:43,840 --> 00:00:50,280 Speaker 3: life in the gym, a little less talk, you talk 11 00:00:50,280 --> 00:00:57,560 Speaker 3: a little more core. Second of all, in the gym, 12 00:00:57,600 --> 00:00:58,960 Speaker 3: they're only being agreeable with you. 13 00:00:59,120 --> 00:01:05,080 Speaker 1: Christ. They don't eaves him alone in the gym on 14 00:01:05,200 --> 00:01:06,320 Speaker 1: the stationary bike. 15 00:01:06,400 --> 00:01:09,080 Speaker 3: Oh sure, Chuck, I'm definitely gonna do that. But I 16 00:01:09,120 --> 00:01:12,480 Speaker 3: have to tell you something. Peddling really hard and not 17 00:01:12,760 --> 00:01:16,440 Speaker 3: going anywhere. It's a great metaphor for the Democratic Party 18 00:01:16,520 --> 00:01:16,880 Speaker 3: right now. 19 00:01:18,920 --> 00:01:22,080 Speaker 1: Also Bocrat. So a couple of reasons. I wanted to 20 00:01:22,080 --> 00:01:24,600 Speaker 1: play that clip from John Stewart last night, who's a 21 00:01:24,920 --> 00:01:29,039 Speaker 1: Democrat and got a Democrat audience. There they are mocking 22 00:01:31,000 --> 00:01:35,320 Speaker 1: maybe the most visibly powerful person in the Democratic Party. Now, 23 00:01:35,319 --> 00:01:37,120 Speaker 1: I mean, you keep hearing about how leaderless they are 24 00:01:37,160 --> 00:01:42,280 Speaker 1: because there's not a single voice like was Nancy Pelosi 25 00:01:42,319 --> 00:01:44,920 Speaker 1: for years or Barack Obama or Bill Clinton or whoever. 26 00:01:45,360 --> 00:01:47,480 Speaker 1: There just isn't in. Chuck Schumer's as close to it 27 00:01:47,520 --> 00:01:51,240 Speaker 1: as they've got, and they're mocking him endlessly and laughing 28 00:01:51,280 --> 00:01:55,400 Speaker 1: at him. I just saw him up on the CBS 29 00:01:55,400 --> 00:01:58,000 Speaker 1: Early Show today, that whole posture thing. God, he is 30 00:01:58,040 --> 00:02:01,480 Speaker 1: a bent over old man. Yeah, olllow. 31 00:02:01,560 --> 00:02:03,720 Speaker 4: Did you see that poll of who is the leader 32 00:02:03,760 --> 00:02:06,440 Speaker 4: of the Democratic Party that somebody did recently might have 33 00:02:06,440 --> 00:02:06,960 Speaker 4: been ANBC. 34 00:02:07,800 --> 00:02:12,120 Speaker 1: It was a series of people with sevens and eights. Well, yeah, 35 00:02:12,160 --> 00:02:13,920 Speaker 1: that's what I would say. From Kamala to. 36 00:02:15,400 --> 00:02:21,519 Speaker 4: And AOC at ten, AOC was the had the not 37 00:02:21,639 --> 00:02:25,040 Speaker 4: the majority of plurality, but barely barely in a sea 38 00:02:25,080 --> 00:02:26,760 Speaker 4: of of of midgets. 39 00:02:27,880 --> 00:02:29,880 Speaker 1: Right, Yeah, so there's nobody that's really the leader. But 40 00:02:29,919 --> 00:02:33,119 Speaker 1: I'd say AOC is the very top. And I don't 41 00:02:33,160 --> 00:02:35,960 Speaker 1: mean that in any sort of like disparaging way, just 42 00:02:36,000 --> 00:02:40,960 Speaker 1: in terms of news coverage and the ability to get 43 00:02:41,000 --> 00:02:44,720 Speaker 1: attention and whatever. She's she's clearly at the very top. 44 00:02:45,360 --> 00:02:49,800 Speaker 1: Far dreamier eyes than Chuck Schumer, too, So I just 45 00:02:49,800 --> 00:02:54,520 Speaker 1: thought that was kind of funny or interesting. See what's 46 00:02:54,560 --> 00:02:56,280 Speaker 1: going to emerge out of that party. I have no 47 00:02:56,360 --> 00:02:59,400 Speaker 1: idea something will. Somebody's gonna come along. Maybe it's Josh 48 00:02:59,400 --> 00:03:02,120 Speaker 1: Shapiro from Pennsylvania. I mean, I keep mentioning in this 49 00:03:02,160 --> 00:03:05,200 Speaker 1: book I read about I'm reading about uh Carter in 50 00:03:05,200 --> 00:03:07,400 Speaker 1: the peace process in the seventies. He came out of 51 00:03:07,600 --> 00:03:12,680 Speaker 1: freaking nowhere. He was on nobody's radar shortly before the 52 00:03:12,720 --> 00:03:15,640 Speaker 1: presidential election in seventy six, he was barely on anybody's 53 00:03:15,720 --> 00:03:18,959 Speaker 1: radar in Georgia, let alone anywhere else in the country. 54 00:03:19,000 --> 00:03:21,040 Speaker 1: So there's there could be somebody out there that hits 55 00:03:21,080 --> 00:03:23,840 Speaker 1: the scene and it's like, whoa, here's our leader. Nice, 56 00:03:23,919 --> 00:03:26,919 Speaker 1: So gonna be me, Gavin Newsom, have you heard I'm 57 00:03:26,919 --> 00:03:30,200 Speaker 1: a moderate? Now well? Sort of The point is it's 58 00:03:30,240 --> 00:03:34,960 Speaker 1: often often not the people they throw out, the Rudy Judiani's, 59 00:03:35,040 --> 00:03:39,400 Speaker 1: the Ted Kennedy's, the whoever the well known name. It's somebody. Yeah, 60 00:03:39,440 --> 00:03:41,320 Speaker 1: it's a somebody you don't know, and just all of 61 00:03:41,360 --> 00:03:46,480 Speaker 1: a sudden, anyway, that's enough of that. Uh first, a 62 00:03:46,520 --> 00:03:49,440 Speaker 1: dumb story before we get to a significant story. I 63 00:03:49,480 --> 00:03:51,920 Speaker 1: think this is a dumb story. Trump announced he will 64 00:03:51,960 --> 00:03:57,680 Speaker 1: release thousands of documents related to the jfk assassination. He 65 00:03:57,720 --> 00:03:59,920 Speaker 1: did not provide additional I'm reading from the New York Times. 66 00:04:00,280 --> 00:04:02,440 Speaker 1: He did not provide additional details on what the trove 67 00:04:02,480 --> 00:04:05,000 Speaker 1: of files would include, because it ain't gonna include much, 68 00:04:05,280 --> 00:04:08,840 Speaker 1: but he has long promised to release them unredacted. I'm 69 00:04:08,880 --> 00:04:10,680 Speaker 1: all for that. I think it's cool. I got to 70 00:04:10,720 --> 00:04:14,920 Speaker 1: imagine there'll be some interesting tidbits in there, but I 71 00:04:14,960 --> 00:04:17,760 Speaker 1: don't expect to. It was the mob. Look right here, 72 00:04:17,880 --> 00:04:20,640 Speaker 1: they've got John Cotty Gotti on the phone ordering the 73 00:04:20,720 --> 00:04:25,039 Speaker 1: hit or something, right right, I don't expect anything like that. 74 00:04:25,200 --> 00:04:29,359 Speaker 4: I think there could be some historically really interesting stuff. 75 00:04:29,400 --> 00:04:32,440 Speaker 1: I agree, I agree. I don't think it's like the 76 00:04:32,600 --> 00:04:36,480 Speaker 1: smoking gun, per se. No eighty thousand pages are going 77 00:04:36,520 --> 00:04:39,320 Speaker 1: to be released. I think it's just a good swipe 78 00:04:39,360 --> 00:04:42,800 Speaker 1: at we keep too many things secret for too long. 79 00:04:43,760 --> 00:04:48,880 Speaker 1: Give me any reason whatsoever there should be eighty thousand 80 00:04:48,920 --> 00:04:54,920 Speaker 1: pages of government paperwork on the jfk assassination sixty two 81 00:04:55,000 --> 00:04:59,600 Speaker 1: years later that the American people don't get to see 82 00:04:59,600 --> 00:05:02,719 Speaker 1: about their own government. There's no argument whatsoever. They just 83 00:05:02,720 --> 00:05:05,040 Speaker 1: a government likes to keep things secret. It gives them 84 00:05:05,040 --> 00:05:09,239 Speaker 1: more power. You know. I could see for a certain 85 00:05:09,480 --> 00:05:11,720 Speaker 1: amount of time. 86 00:05:12,600 --> 00:05:16,600 Speaker 4: If the British m I five was or six or 87 00:05:16,600 --> 00:05:19,680 Speaker 4: whatever the MII is, if they were involved somehow or other, 88 00:05:19,800 --> 00:05:21,080 Speaker 4: and we had to keep that cool. 89 00:05:21,160 --> 00:05:24,680 Speaker 1: Okay, sources and methods. It's many years you got anything 90 00:05:24,760 --> 00:05:27,040 Speaker 1: like that, if it would include a quote from somebody 91 00:05:27,080 --> 00:05:28,760 Speaker 1: you didn't know was a spy, you know, from the 92 00:05:28,839 --> 00:05:32,080 Speaker 1: MI five aware. Yeah, but no, that makes no sense 93 00:05:32,080 --> 00:05:33,719 Speaker 1: to keep it a secret. It's just part of the whole. 94 00:05:33,960 --> 00:05:36,640 Speaker 1: We're in charge, you know, we we we keep the 95 00:05:36,680 --> 00:05:43,680 Speaker 1: power the information among ourselves. Don't like it. So the 96 00:05:43,800 --> 00:05:46,279 Speaker 1: National Archives and Records Administration has said that the government 97 00:05:46,320 --> 00:05:50,440 Speaker 1: has already released ninety nine percent of the roughly two hundred, 98 00:05:50,520 --> 00:05:54,120 Speaker 1: three hundred and twenty thousand documents that have been reviewed 99 00:05:54,120 --> 00:05:57,680 Speaker 1: since nineteen ninety two. So that makes me think it's 100 00:05:57,680 --> 00:06:00,000 Speaker 1: going to be more interesting. I mean, out of all 101 00:06:00,080 --> 00:06:02,520 Speaker 1: all of those documents, I why did you keep this 102 00:06:02,560 --> 00:06:06,160 Speaker 1: one percent back? It's got to be something somewhat interesting 103 00:06:06,200 --> 00:06:13,559 Speaker 1: in there. Can we at least characterize it somehow? Why 104 00:06:13,640 --> 00:06:15,239 Speaker 1: why is it held back in? What sort of stuff 105 00:06:15,279 --> 00:06:17,640 Speaker 1: is it that doesn't seem unreasonable. Well, we're gonna find 106 00:06:17,640 --> 00:06:19,760 Speaker 1: out in a couple of days because it's coming out. 107 00:06:21,880 --> 00:06:26,080 Speaker 1: Here's the other thing, and more important, Trump and Putin 108 00:06:26,160 --> 00:06:29,400 Speaker 1: are on the phone right now, I guess discussing how 109 00:06:29,400 --> 00:06:31,240 Speaker 1: to handle that whole thing. And one thing I know 110 00:06:32,200 --> 00:06:33,920 Speaker 1: Putin doesn't really like the idea is a bunch of 111 00:06:34,000 --> 00:06:36,679 Speaker 1: NATO troops in Ukraine. But that's the plan at least 112 00:06:36,680 --> 00:06:40,839 Speaker 1: currently from the UK. A significant number of countries are 113 00:06:40,880 --> 00:06:45,599 Speaker 1: willing to provide troops in Ukraine when there's a peace 114 00:06:45,680 --> 00:06:48,159 Speaker 1: deal with Russia, a spokesman from the British Prime Minister 115 00:06:48,880 --> 00:06:52,400 Speaker 1: Heir Starmer said yesterday Britain and France have led the 116 00:06:52,440 --> 00:06:56,840 Speaker 1: efforts for this whole peacekeeping plan that Trump obviously kicked off. 117 00:06:57,120 --> 00:07:00,360 Speaker 1: More than thirty countries are expected to be involved in 118 00:07:01,279 --> 00:07:04,560 Speaker 1: what they're calling the Coalition of the Willing, a phrase 119 00:07:04,640 --> 00:07:07,920 Speaker 1: going back to the Iraq War, to support Ukraine. Starmer's 120 00:07:08,200 --> 00:07:13,320 Speaker 1: spokesperson told reporters yesterday the contribution capabilities will vary, of course, 121 00:07:13,400 --> 00:07:16,480 Speaker 1: but this will be a significant force, with a significant 122 00:07:16,560 --> 00:07:21,480 Speaker 1: number of countries providing troops. Reuters goes on to say 123 00:07:21,560 --> 00:07:24,360 Speaker 1: Russia has repeatedly rejected the idea of soldiers from countries 124 00:07:24,400 --> 00:07:28,120 Speaker 1: belonging to the NATO military allianes being stationed in Ukraine. 125 00:07:28,280 --> 00:07:31,760 Speaker 1: I mean he has said that's a non starter, but uh, 126 00:07:32,000 --> 00:07:36,960 Speaker 1: thirty countries involved in a coalition of the willing, including many, 127 00:07:37,000 --> 00:07:40,040 Speaker 1: many troops, is the plan from Europe. 128 00:07:42,960 --> 00:07:46,160 Speaker 4: Putin will find a way either to say no outright 129 00:07:46,240 --> 00:07:49,480 Speaker 4: or hear Lavrov will say, you know, I can see 130 00:07:49,640 --> 00:07:52,760 Speaker 4: that sort of thing working. I like the broad outlines 131 00:07:52,800 --> 00:07:56,160 Speaker 4: of it. Of course, we'll need forty percent of Ukraine, 132 00:07:56,840 --> 00:08:02,200 Speaker 4: including of course Crimea, and and we get to keep Georgia, 133 00:08:02,480 --> 00:08:09,080 Speaker 4: and NATO also disarms the Baltic States and Germany, you know, 134 00:08:09,120 --> 00:08:10,680 Speaker 4: stops manufacturing BMW. 135 00:08:11,040 --> 00:08:15,760 Speaker 1: He'll just have a crazy, huge ask while. 136 00:08:15,520 --> 00:08:18,200 Speaker 4: Simultaneously saying yes, yes, I think that's a great idea. 137 00:08:19,520 --> 00:08:23,000 Speaker 4: He's not going to accept that many, that many essentially 138 00:08:23,120 --> 00:08:29,480 Speaker 4: NATO troops in Ukraine, I don't think unless he gets 139 00:08:29,520 --> 00:08:31,600 Speaker 4: again a huge ask. 140 00:08:32,000 --> 00:08:35,880 Speaker 1: Granted I left out my favorite part of this article. 141 00:08:36,120 --> 00:08:38,640 Speaker 1: Asked if the peace keeping troops would be allowed to 142 00:08:38,720 --> 00:08:44,160 Speaker 1: fire back if targeted. The spokesperson said military planning meetings 143 00:08:44,200 --> 00:08:48,520 Speaker 1: were taking place to go through the details. Now, if 144 00:08:48,559 --> 00:08:51,280 Speaker 1: you can't answer that question with of course they will. 145 00:08:51,440 --> 00:08:55,959 Speaker 1: Why else would they be there, right? Otherwise they're human 146 00:08:56,000 --> 00:09:00,760 Speaker 1: shields and if you kill our human shields will then 147 00:09:01,040 --> 00:09:03,840 Speaker 1: maybe we'll send guys who are allowed to shoot back, 148 00:09:04,760 --> 00:09:07,560 Speaker 1: So don't or will sanction you or something. 149 00:09:08,280 --> 00:09:12,240 Speaker 4: Yeah, wow, wow, this evokes, if you're at all familiar 150 00:09:12,280 --> 00:09:15,600 Speaker 4: with it, the history of the UNS peacekeeping forces, the 151 00:09:15,640 --> 00:09:20,000 Speaker 4: famous Blue Helmets, who unless they're committing like crimes and 152 00:09:20,040 --> 00:09:23,120 Speaker 4: getting drug dealing going or raping your local women, don't 153 00:09:23,120 --> 00:09:26,400 Speaker 4: do much tall ask the Israelis, there are Blue Helmets 154 00:09:26,559 --> 00:09:30,400 Speaker 4: whose specific gig was to make sure Hesbela didn't set up, 155 00:09:31,559 --> 00:09:35,360 Speaker 4: you know, attack ready outposts on their border, and they 156 00:09:35,360 --> 00:09:39,160 Speaker 4: would they set up just the sort of outposts that 157 00:09:39,160 --> 00:09:41,120 Speaker 4: they're supposed to be looking for, fifty one hundred yards 158 00:09:41,160 --> 00:09:46,920 Speaker 4: away from the UN headquarters or the UN outposts, completely useless. 159 00:09:49,400 --> 00:09:51,720 Speaker 1: Well, there's gonna be something to watch unfold over the 160 00:09:51,720 --> 00:09:54,240 Speaker 1: next couple of days, because this big meaning yesterday announcing 161 00:09:54,280 --> 00:09:57,120 Speaker 1: the thirty countries willing to be the Coalition of the 162 00:09:57,160 --> 00:09:59,800 Speaker 1: Willing that was yesterday. Trump's talking to Bootin today. I 163 00:09:59,800 --> 00:10:01,480 Speaker 1: think this is gonna unfold fairly quickly. 164 00:10:02,000 --> 00:10:06,360 Speaker 4: Yeah, this is my screen, is not knee your cynicism either. 165 00:10:06,400 --> 00:10:08,920 Speaker 4: I hope and pray to be proved wrong. I just 166 00:10:09,280 --> 00:10:11,280 Speaker 4: I don't see the math take in shape where that 167 00:10:11,320 --> 00:10:13,480 Speaker 4: can happen me neither. 168 00:10:15,360 --> 00:10:18,679 Speaker 1: And does Europe have the h horsepower to even pull 169 00:10:18,720 --> 00:10:19,080 Speaker 1: it off? 170 00:10:19,800 --> 00:10:23,640 Speaker 4: Uh, yes, if they're willing to use it. Actually, if 171 00:10:23,679 --> 00:10:26,960 Speaker 4: you look at Europe's military and how it stacks up 172 00:10:26,960 --> 00:10:32,920 Speaker 4: against Russia without the US, now, it's actually pretty impressive. 173 00:10:34,280 --> 00:10:38,600 Speaker 4: Now Europe doesn't have great air defense and intelligence capabilities 174 00:10:38,679 --> 00:10:41,040 Speaker 4: because they've been leaning on US for that sort of 175 00:10:41,040 --> 00:10:44,800 Speaker 4: thing for a long time, but it's militaries constitute together 176 00:10:44,840 --> 00:10:47,959 Speaker 4: a massive air force, giant navy, and formidable army according 177 00:10:48,000 --> 00:10:52,000 Speaker 4: to this analysis, and those all the land forces, which 178 00:10:52,000 --> 00:10:54,440 Speaker 4: are just a fraction of what they were after the 179 00:10:54,480 --> 00:10:57,959 Speaker 4: Cold War, are now gradually rebuilding and adding advanced equipment. 180 00:10:58,160 --> 00:10:58,880 Speaker 1: It's gradual. 181 00:10:59,400 --> 00:11:02,600 Speaker 4: But just to take a look at the numbers in 182 00:11:02,679 --> 00:11:07,079 Speaker 4: conventional combats, say strategists, Russia would struggle against Europe. Europe 183 00:11:07,120 --> 00:11:14,960 Speaker 4: has just under two million active military personnel, just under 184 00:11:15,120 --> 00:11:16,080 Speaker 4: two million. 185 00:11:16,520 --> 00:11:20,600 Speaker 1: Russia has one point three four. I don't know if 186 00:11:20,640 --> 00:11:22,280 Speaker 1: this is the way to look at it, though, to 187 00:11:22,400 --> 00:11:24,800 Speaker 1: add together all the European countries and act like they 188 00:11:24,800 --> 00:11:28,400 Speaker 1: would come together and fight in some way. I don't know. 189 00:11:28,520 --> 00:11:29,880 Speaker 1: I mean last week when we were looking at the 190 00:11:29,920 --> 00:11:35,160 Speaker 1: numbers country by country, England's got seventy eight thousand. The 191 00:11:35,200 --> 00:11:37,360 Speaker 1: Brits have seventy eight thousand people in the army, as 192 00:11:37,400 --> 00:11:39,160 Speaker 1: opposed to North Korea that has a million. 193 00:11:39,960 --> 00:11:44,160 Speaker 4: Your skepticism is warranted, sir. Are they battle ready to 194 00:11:44,200 --> 00:11:48,120 Speaker 4: what extent? Could they cooperate and maneuver together reasonably well, 195 00:11:48,120 --> 00:11:52,000 Speaker 4: according to what I've read. But Russia, on the other hand, 196 00:11:52,040 --> 00:11:54,520 Speaker 4: is still incompetent and corrupt militarily. 197 00:11:55,000 --> 00:11:55,559 Speaker 1: They've got some. 198 00:11:55,559 --> 00:11:58,880 Speaker 4: Battle hardened troops for sure, but they're out numbered by half. 199 00:11:59,080 --> 00:12:02,960 Speaker 1: Well, if we got a land war going on between 200 00:12:03,080 --> 00:12:09,240 Speaker 1: Russia and multiple European countries, that's a big deal. Oh yeah, yeah. 201 00:12:09,559 --> 00:12:14,600 Speaker 4: Armored fighting vehicles Europe wins thirty three thousand to eleven thousand, 202 00:12:15,960 --> 00:12:19,720 Speaker 4: triple that number. Self propelled artillery twenty two hundred to 203 00:12:19,760 --> 00:12:25,080 Speaker 4: fourteen hundred, combat planes twenty one hundred to eleven hundred, 204 00:12:25,679 --> 00:12:27,040 Speaker 4: an advantage of a thousand. 205 00:12:27,440 --> 00:12:29,200 Speaker 1: Where does this come from? This just seems like such 206 00:12:29,200 --> 00:12:31,160 Speaker 1: a crazy way to look at it to me. Even 207 00:12:31,160 --> 00:12:34,200 Speaker 1: in World War II, it wasn't all the countries gathered together, 208 00:12:34,800 --> 00:12:38,280 Speaker 1: you know, uniformly fighting. You couldn't add all the everything together, 209 00:12:38,320 --> 00:12:43,920 Speaker 1: and you couldn't give you any information the bridge. I mean, 210 00:12:44,080 --> 00:12:45,880 Speaker 1: the Brits have a fighting force in their own interests. 211 00:12:45,920 --> 00:12:47,960 Speaker 1: In France has a fighting force and its own interests. 212 00:12:48,640 --> 00:12:54,480 Speaker 1: But Eisenhower commanded all of them. Yeah, I just I 213 00:12:54,520 --> 00:12:58,120 Speaker 1: can't imagine that coming together in this circumstance. Uh. 214 00:12:58,160 --> 00:13:01,320 Speaker 4: If Russia invaded Europe, I can't man. They would have 215 00:13:01,400 --> 00:13:05,960 Speaker 4: its challenges obviously, No, I think they would join together. 216 00:13:08,440 --> 00:13:12,559 Speaker 4: But expecting Europe to behave coherently is an ask in 217 00:13:12,679 --> 00:13:13,199 Speaker 4: I apology. 218 00:13:13,280 --> 00:13:14,680 Speaker 1: But you know that ain't the way it's gonna happen. 219 00:13:14,720 --> 00:13:17,360 Speaker 1: He's gonna try to take off a chunk of Estonia 220 00:13:17,440 --> 00:13:21,960 Speaker 1: and then and see what happens. And he is a 221 00:13:22,000 --> 00:13:24,600 Speaker 1: calculating some bitch. I can't wait to hear what we 222 00:13:24,679 --> 00:13:26,800 Speaker 1: hear out of that phone call today. Stay with us. 223 00:13:28,200 --> 00:13:33,760 Speaker 5: A fisherman from Peru survived being stranded in the ocean 224 00:13:33,760 --> 00:13:38,040 Speaker 5: for ninety five days by eating insects, birds, and sea turtles, 225 00:13:38,480 --> 00:13:41,520 Speaker 5: which proves one thing. He's a horrible fisherman. 226 00:13:44,679 --> 00:13:46,679 Speaker 1: That's a pretty good joke. It's got to pop into 227 00:13:46,720 --> 00:13:52,120 Speaker 1: your head. He's a fisherman and he's eating birds. What happened? Hey, 228 00:13:52,240 --> 00:13:54,520 Speaker 1: some days they don't bite, all right. It's called fishing, 229 00:13:54,559 --> 00:13:57,760 Speaker 1: not catching. And I know it feels. 230 00:13:58,000 --> 00:14:02,160 Speaker 4: Coming up a trio of story involving mental health, including 231 00:14:02,559 --> 00:14:06,640 Speaker 4: that social media has become a breeding ground for delusions. 232 00:14:07,040 --> 00:14:10,400 Speaker 1: Wow, I should bring back up that Gallup poll about 233 00:14:10,520 --> 00:14:14,840 Speaker 1: young people and whether they're thriving or not. Fits in 234 00:14:14,880 --> 00:14:15,120 Speaker 1: with that. 235 00:14:17,520 --> 00:14:17,600 Speaker 3: So. 236 00:14:18,480 --> 00:14:21,600 Speaker 1: Comedian Tracy Morgan was in the front row at the 237 00:14:21,720 --> 00:14:24,920 Speaker 1: Knicks game last night in New York City. You know, 238 00:14:25,440 --> 00:14:27,920 Speaker 1: if you're going to see stars at NBA games, they're 239 00:14:27,920 --> 00:14:29,360 Speaker 1: going to be in the front row, either in Los 240 00:14:29,400 --> 00:14:31,920 Speaker 1: Angeles for the Lakers or New York for the Knicks. 241 00:14:31,960 --> 00:14:33,680 Speaker 1: And he was in the front row. And I haven't 242 00:14:33,720 --> 00:14:35,600 Speaker 1: watched the video. Okay, who's seen the video? One of 243 00:14:35,600 --> 00:14:37,800 Speaker 1: you have, Katie Joe, somebody has seen the video. I 244 00:14:37,840 --> 00:14:41,360 Speaker 1: just saw still Picksy more than enough throwing up during 245 00:14:41,400 --> 00:14:43,480 Speaker 1: the game. Yeah, yep. 246 00:14:43,600 --> 00:14:46,120 Speaker 6: It was a little reminiscent of that that scene from 247 00:14:46,200 --> 00:14:50,920 Speaker 6: Family Guy where it's just projectile what he wants. 248 00:14:50,760 --> 00:14:51,960 Speaker 1: To Peter, Peter hold my ears. 249 00:14:52,200 --> 00:14:54,920 Speaker 6: But yeah, but the odd part was at the end 250 00:14:54,960 --> 00:14:57,120 Speaker 6: they took him away in a wheelchair, and when he 251 00:14:57,240 --> 00:15:00,240 Speaker 6: pulled the towel that he was wiping his mouth with away, 252 00:15:00,400 --> 00:15:01,360 Speaker 6: it looked bloody. 253 00:15:01,720 --> 00:15:04,800 Speaker 1: Well, any good. He's fifty six year old. He's had 254 00:15:04,840 --> 00:15:07,240 Speaker 1: some health problems. When he got his the limo he 255 00:15:07,280 --> 00:15:10,000 Speaker 1: was in got hit by a Walmart truck and he 256 00:15:10,080 --> 00:15:12,800 Speaker 1: ended up getting like two hundred million dollars or something 257 00:15:12,840 --> 00:15:16,360 Speaker 1: like that. So he's ungodly wealthy. But he throws up 258 00:15:16,360 --> 00:15:18,600 Speaker 1: at the Knicks game. They actually had to stop the 259 00:15:18,600 --> 00:15:21,080 Speaker 1: game a little bit to clean up the floor. He 260 00:15:21,560 --> 00:15:24,080 Speaker 1: just posted from the hospital and said he feels fine. 261 00:15:24,560 --> 00:15:26,920 Speaker 1: He said he was hospitalized for food poisoning, which is 262 00:15:26,960 --> 00:15:32,920 Speaker 1: either true or completely not true, who knows. Uh. He 263 00:15:33,000 --> 00:15:35,160 Speaker 1: did say, thank you all for your concern. I'm doing 264 00:15:35,280 --> 00:15:38,480 Speaker 1: okay now and doctors say it was food poisoning. I 265 00:15:38,480 --> 00:15:42,400 Speaker 1: pretty appreciate my MSG family for taking good care of myself. 266 00:15:42,400 --> 00:15:44,440 Speaker 1: And then he said, more importantly, the Knicks are now 267 00:15:44,480 --> 00:15:45,920 Speaker 1: want to know when I throw up on the court, 268 00:15:46,200 --> 00:15:50,840 Speaker 1: so I'll have to break it out again for the playoffs. Ah, 269 00:15:50,880 --> 00:15:54,440 Speaker 1: the lighter side, the lighter side of maybe drinking in 270 00:15:54,520 --> 00:15:56,400 Speaker 1: drugs or who knows what, but. 271 00:15:57,960 --> 00:16:00,240 Speaker 4: Yeah, the blood part, if indeed, I don't want to 272 00:16:00,280 --> 00:16:03,040 Speaker 4: talk about Tracy Morgan's fuke anymore. 273 00:16:03,160 --> 00:16:04,960 Speaker 1: That's funny. Neither do I. That's perfect. 274 00:16:08,040 --> 00:16:09,960 Speaker 4: First you got the guy eating rats in the Bronx. 275 00:16:09,960 --> 00:16:12,280 Speaker 4: Then you move over to Manhattan. You got people puking on. 276 00:16:12,240 --> 00:16:15,600 Speaker 1: The back basketball court. What's wrong with you New York? 277 00:16:16,480 --> 00:16:19,320 Speaker 1: Is Eric Adams to blame. So we're going to talk 278 00:16:19,320 --> 00:16:23,040 Speaker 1: about mental health and all that sort of stuff. There 279 00:16:23,120 --> 00:16:27,640 Speaker 1: is a Gallop survey that's out with young people in 280 00:16:27,640 --> 00:16:29,920 Speaker 1: their attitudes about American and everything like that, and everything 281 00:16:29,960 --> 00:16:31,680 Speaker 1: was going in the wrong direction. We talked about that 282 00:16:31,760 --> 00:16:34,080 Speaker 1: in hour two if you want to grab that on 283 00:16:34,120 --> 00:16:36,720 Speaker 1: the podcast Armstrong and Getty on demand. But one of 284 00:16:36,720 --> 00:16:39,640 Speaker 1: the things that was going down is there expectations for 285 00:16:40,520 --> 00:16:43,080 Speaker 1: life in five years, which seems like a bit of 286 00:16:43,120 --> 00:16:46,280 Speaker 1: a mental health crisis to me. But yeah, we can 287 00:16:46,320 --> 00:16:48,600 Speaker 1: touch on that again. If you didn't hear, it's pretty interesting. 288 00:16:48,600 --> 00:16:51,200 Speaker 1: It makes me worry about my teenagers that I've got. 289 00:16:51,240 --> 00:16:52,760 Speaker 1: I don't want them to feel the same way. 290 00:16:53,080 --> 00:16:54,960 Speaker 4: One of the mental health stories is a good deal 291 00:16:55,160 --> 00:16:58,640 Speaker 4: lighter than that. It's Republicans in a certain state have 292 00:16:58,720 --> 00:17:02,520 Speaker 4: introduced a bill defining Trump derangement syndrome as a mental 293 00:17:02,520 --> 00:17:05,680 Speaker 4: illness Armstrong and getty. 294 00:17:06,359 --> 00:17:09,200 Speaker 1: Yo yo yo yo Yo. 295 00:17:11,359 --> 00:17:15,159 Speaker 4: Minnesota Republicans, like California Republicans, can do about anything they 296 00:17:15,200 --> 00:17:20,760 Speaker 4: want because they can't get anything passed, and recently, five 297 00:17:20,960 --> 00:17:25,360 Speaker 4: GOP lawmakers in the great now insane state of Minnesota 298 00:17:26,720 --> 00:17:31,200 Speaker 4: have sponsored They've introduced a bill that adds Trump derangement 299 00:17:31,359 --> 00:17:37,280 Speaker 4: syndrome to the state's definition of mental illness. Trump derangement 300 00:17:37,359 --> 00:17:41,120 Speaker 4: syndrome is defined as acute onset of paranoia in otherwise 301 00:17:41,119 --> 00:17:43,760 Speaker 4: normal persons that is in reaction to the policies and 302 00:17:43,800 --> 00:17:46,960 Speaker 4: presidency of President Donald J. 303 00:17:47,040 --> 00:17:51,639 Speaker 1: Trump. According to bill, symptoms may include Trump induced general hysteria, 304 00:17:51,840 --> 00:17:56,040 Speaker 1: which produces an inability to distinguish between legitimate policy differences 305 00:17:56,320 --> 00:18:00,560 Speaker 1: and signs of psychic pathology in President Donald J. Trump behavior. 306 00:18:00,720 --> 00:18:04,080 Speaker 1: You know, it's close to true. I mean, he started 307 00:18:04,080 --> 00:18:06,000 Speaker 1: thinking about some of the stuff like school closings and 308 00:18:06,040 --> 00:18:10,840 Speaker 1: all that. But uh, and I find this amusing. But 309 00:18:11,640 --> 00:18:14,360 Speaker 1: in general, I would like us to get away from 310 00:18:14,520 --> 00:18:17,800 Speaker 1: all these all this performative politics. 311 00:18:19,240 --> 00:18:26,199 Speaker 4: But yeah, yeah, I think, well it's also partisan whenever 312 00:18:26,720 --> 00:18:29,480 Speaker 4: anything Trump is involved. It's difficult for people to let 313 00:18:29,520 --> 00:18:36,480 Speaker 4: them their gardens think critically. But the never to be forgotten. Example, though, 314 00:18:36,960 --> 00:18:41,240 Speaker 4: is insisting that the kids be kept in school, even 315 00:18:41,280 --> 00:18:45,479 Speaker 4: though Red States private schools. Europeans were all saying no, no, no, 316 00:18:45,520 --> 00:18:47,480 Speaker 4: put them back in school. It's very important and they'll 317 00:18:47,520 --> 00:18:52,040 Speaker 4: be fine, and the teachers will be fine to continue 318 00:18:52,119 --> 00:18:54,160 Speaker 4: to say no, we've got to keep the kids home 319 00:18:54,200 --> 00:18:57,399 Speaker 4: and we can't even let them play with others just 320 00:18:57,520 --> 00:19:00,600 Speaker 4: because Donald Trump said they should open up the schools, 321 00:19:01,320 --> 00:19:03,360 Speaker 4: or maybe you know, the teachers union said it too. 322 00:19:03,400 --> 00:19:09,959 Speaker 4: But that is beyond like oppositional, that is that is 323 00:19:11,160 --> 00:19:13,159 Speaker 4: close to a mental illness. 324 00:19:15,320 --> 00:19:19,959 Speaker 1: I have breaking news on the seven Dwarf front. I 325 00:19:20,000 --> 00:19:23,760 Speaker 1: just saw the ad for the new snow White. Yes, 326 00:19:23,840 --> 00:19:27,000 Speaker 1: the CGI dwarves are better than real dwarves would be 327 00:19:28,040 --> 00:19:31,800 Speaker 1: they Oh, they just are oh better in what way? 328 00:19:33,440 --> 00:19:35,760 Speaker 1: In the same way that a CGI dragon would be 329 00:19:35,760 --> 00:19:40,240 Speaker 1: better than a horrible mechanical dragon, I suppose. But you 330 00:19:40,280 --> 00:19:44,639 Speaker 1: don't have mechanical dwarfs. They're actual people. It's not a 331 00:19:44,760 --> 00:19:48,720 Speaker 1: jobs program. It's supposed to be an entertaining show about 332 00:19:48,720 --> 00:19:50,760 Speaker 1: snow White. And I just saw the trailer, and the 333 00:19:50,760 --> 00:19:52,920 Speaker 1: CGI dwarves are really really good. 334 00:19:53,359 --> 00:19:56,360 Speaker 4: Speaking of derangements, you're deranged, What do you mean they're 335 00:19:56,400 --> 00:19:59,560 Speaker 4: better dwarfs than real dwarfs. There aren't real dragons to 336 00:19:59,600 --> 00:20:04,000 Speaker 4: be dou a cgi dragon. That is a bizarre and 337 00:20:04,000 --> 00:20:11,080 Speaker 4: indefensible statement. I disavow it. But back to the Trump 338 00:20:11,119 --> 00:20:15,000 Speaker 4: derangement syndrome thing. I mean, if I like stepped on 339 00:20:15,080 --> 00:20:19,960 Speaker 4: a rusty nail, and Kamala Harris said, well, I guess 340 00:20:20,000 --> 00:20:21,760 Speaker 4: once you've stepped on it, is it too late? Anyway, 341 00:20:21,800 --> 00:20:23,960 Speaker 4: Let's presume that you can still get a tetanus shot. 342 00:20:24,240 --> 00:20:26,440 Speaker 4: And Kamala Harris said, Joe, you should get a tetnis shot. 343 00:20:26,480 --> 00:20:29,680 Speaker 4: And I refuse to just because it was Kamala Harris. 344 00:20:29,040 --> 00:20:33,720 Speaker 4: That is certainly a mental condition, that's wealth condition. 345 00:20:33,920 --> 00:20:35,920 Speaker 1: You can still get in a tetnis shot after you've 346 00:20:35,960 --> 00:20:39,760 Speaker 1: scraped yourself with some rus something rusty. I have done this, Okay, excellent. 347 00:20:40,680 --> 00:20:45,800 Speaker 1: So yeah, it's it's more than just than performative politics. 348 00:20:45,840 --> 00:20:46,160 Speaker 1: I think. 349 00:20:46,600 --> 00:20:49,040 Speaker 4: Anyway, I wish them luck with that. Oh that's right, 350 00:20:49,080 --> 00:20:52,160 Speaker 4: that's what I wanted to get to. I've been hearing 351 00:20:52,280 --> 00:20:55,080 Speaker 4: Obama derangement syndrome or whatever. It is believed that the 352 00:20:55,760 --> 00:20:59,000 Speaker 4: term was coined by the late Great Charles Crouthammer in 353 00:20:59,080 --> 00:21:05,280 Speaker 4: two thousand, George Bush derangement syndrome. I remember that at 354 00:21:05,280 --> 00:21:08,119 Speaker 4: the time, I did not remember that. Anyway, Well done, Charles, 355 00:21:08,119 --> 00:21:11,720 Speaker 4: you are missed. Illinois has introduced a. 356 00:21:11,680 --> 00:21:15,440 Speaker 1: Bill that would make a mental health episode a defense 357 00:21:15,560 --> 00:21:21,840 Speaker 1: for physically attacking a peace officer. Oh wow, We'll just 358 00:21:21,880 --> 00:21:23,800 Speaker 1: read it so then we could comment. Yeah, yeah, I 359 00:21:24,280 --> 00:21:25,240 Speaker 1: need to hear the details. 360 00:21:25,640 --> 00:21:28,440 Speaker 4: Provides that it is a defense to aggravated battery when 361 00:21:28,440 --> 00:21:31,320 Speaker 4: the individual battered is a peace officer and the officer 362 00:21:31,359 --> 00:21:33,960 Speaker 4: responded to an incident in which the officer interacted with 363 00:21:34,000 --> 00:21:37,040 Speaker 4: a person whom a reasonable officer could believe was having 364 00:21:37,080 --> 00:21:39,720 Speaker 4: a mental health episode, and the person with whom the 365 00:21:39,760 --> 00:21:43,919 Speaker 4: officer interacted has a documented mental illness and acted abruptly. 366 00:21:46,280 --> 00:21:49,119 Speaker 1: All right, there are so many questions. 367 00:21:49,920 --> 00:21:53,000 Speaker 4: By the way, over one hundred thousand law officers had 368 00:21:53,000 --> 00:21:53,600 Speaker 4: been attacked in. 369 00:21:53,600 --> 00:21:57,440 Speaker 1: The line of duty in twenty two and twenty three. 370 00:21:58,680 --> 00:22:00,960 Speaker 1: Really that many? I didn't know what with that offer. 371 00:22:01,240 --> 00:22:04,119 Speaker 4: More killed in the three years including twenty one, twenty two, 372 00:22:04,160 --> 00:22:06,560 Speaker 4: and twenty three than in any other consecutive three year 373 00:22:06,600 --> 00:22:10,680 Speaker 4: period in the past two decades, according to the FBI. 374 00:22:09,800 --> 00:22:14,919 Speaker 4: That so, all right, My questions are these? What is 375 00:22:15,200 --> 00:22:19,320 Speaker 4: a documented mental illness. 376 00:22:20,080 --> 00:22:20,800 Speaker 1: What's included? 377 00:22:22,800 --> 00:22:27,920 Speaker 4: How does that excuse physically attacking a law enforcement officer 378 00:22:28,640 --> 00:22:31,320 Speaker 4: if the officer acted abruptly. 379 00:22:31,880 --> 00:22:35,680 Speaker 1: If you're on any SSR I, as many of you are, 380 00:22:36,720 --> 00:22:42,920 Speaker 1: you have a documented mental illness, and police officers, you're 381 00:22:42,960 --> 00:22:45,080 Speaker 1: having a long day. You got to keep you're serving, 382 00:22:45,080 --> 00:22:48,080 Speaker 1: you're protecting. I'm going to give you a big laugh. Okay, 383 00:22:48,200 --> 00:22:52,359 Speaker 1: you're in a volatile situation with people who may or 384 00:22:52,440 --> 00:22:56,280 Speaker 1: may not be like officially nuts or like unofficially nuts, 385 00:22:56,640 --> 00:22:59,120 Speaker 1: which is a lot of your job. And you've got 386 00:22:59,160 --> 00:23:03,440 Speaker 1: to deal with your this situation without ever acting even 387 00:23:03,480 --> 00:23:08,639 Speaker 1: once abruptly. And then if they attack me and it 388 00:23:08,720 --> 00:23:12,760 Speaker 1: turns out they take well buttrin because they have minor depression, 389 00:23:13,160 --> 00:23:20,080 Speaker 1: they're off the hook, said the Second City Cop blog. 390 00:23:22,880 --> 00:23:25,320 Speaker 1: If this passes, mental illness will be an excuse to 391 00:23:25,359 --> 00:23:28,040 Speaker 1: attack and beat police officers. In fact, who wants to 392 00:23:28,040 --> 00:23:29,960 Speaker 1: bet there will be thousands of people who suddenly have 393 00:23:30,040 --> 00:23:36,120 Speaker 1: doctor notes that permit them to attack cops. Yeah yeah, wow. Crazy. 394 00:23:36,359 --> 00:23:40,639 Speaker 4: And speaking of crazy, finally, this social media. According to 395 00:23:40,920 --> 00:23:45,680 Speaker 4: a recent study, who did this? A couple of universities? 396 00:23:47,760 --> 00:23:51,600 Speaker 4: This you've never heard of? Social media? Creates ideal conditions 397 00:23:51,600 --> 00:23:56,359 Speaker 4: for psychological delusions to develop and intensify, especially for disorders 398 00:23:56,400 --> 00:24:00,800 Speaker 4: involving distorted self perception like narcissism and body dys morphia. 399 00:24:01,440 --> 00:24:05,879 Speaker 4: Unlike real life interactions that provide reality checks through physical cues. 400 00:24:06,840 --> 00:24:08,480 Speaker 1: I feel like I'm the only person in the world 401 00:24:08,560 --> 00:24:12,120 Speaker 1: that can that is not narcissist, a narcissist. 402 00:24:14,600 --> 00:24:18,800 Speaker 4: I'm less narcissistic than anyone in the world, right, I'm 403 00:24:18,800 --> 00:24:21,800 Speaker 4: more immune to narcissism than everyone. 404 00:24:22,920 --> 00:24:26,760 Speaker 1: So it's interesting what they're talking about. Unlike real life, 405 00:24:26,960 --> 00:24:28,440 Speaker 1: where you have. 406 00:24:28,440 --> 00:24:33,320 Speaker 4: Physical cues and nonverbal communication, which you jack have studied 407 00:24:33,359 --> 00:24:36,800 Speaker 4: and is a huge part of communication, social media removes 408 00:24:36,800 --> 00:24:40,280 Speaker 4: these guard where guardrails and creates feedback loops that reinforce 409 00:24:40,400 --> 00:24:46,720 Speaker 4: distorted thinkings ah interest thinkings, thinking I'm a native English speaker. 410 00:24:48,000 --> 00:24:49,639 Speaker 1: Ause he's crazy thinkings. 411 00:24:50,320 --> 00:24:54,840 Speaker 4: Researchers recommend that people with delusional disorders reduce social media 412 00:24:54,960 --> 00:24:59,240 Speaker 4: use and suggest developing technologies that make online interaction interactions 413 00:24:59,240 --> 00:25:02,479 Speaker 4: more grounded in reality. 414 00:25:03,800 --> 00:25:05,520 Speaker 1: That's interesting. 415 00:25:07,000 --> 00:25:11,359 Speaker 4: Because we all exist as disembodied versions of our selves, right. 416 00:25:12,880 --> 00:25:16,080 Speaker 1: And tone in tweets and texts and stuff like that. 417 00:25:16,119 --> 00:25:17,720 Speaker 1: Tone is so difficult. 418 00:25:18,760 --> 00:25:24,200 Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, and people with psychological disorders frequently have distorted 419 00:25:24,280 --> 00:25:27,960 Speaker 4: self perception, and they use social media at higher rates 420 00:25:28,160 --> 00:25:34,439 Speaker 4: than others. And in real life it's restaying what they 421 00:25:34,440 --> 00:25:37,320 Speaker 4: said before, but other people's reactions help ground us in reality. 422 00:25:37,359 --> 00:25:40,720 Speaker 4: Online we can create any identity we want, and, unlike 423 00:25:40,720 --> 00:25:43,680 Speaker 4: face to face interactions with others that. 424 00:25:43,840 --> 00:25:46,679 Speaker 1: Help shape who we are as people, they. 425 00:25:46,560 --> 00:25:50,959 Speaker 4: Guide us and shape us, digital identities can be entirely 426 00:25:51,000 --> 00:25:52,040 Speaker 4: self created. 427 00:25:52,440 --> 00:25:55,960 Speaker 1: Yeah, well, has anybody ever looked into this? We're all 428 00:25:56,000 --> 00:25:59,719 Speaker 1: aware of this. I don't do it because I'm not 429 00:25:59,760 --> 00:26:02,800 Speaker 1: on social media in this way, but we're aware of 430 00:26:02,840 --> 00:26:08,400 Speaker 1: this phenomenon of people present a certain image of themselves 431 00:26:08,400 --> 00:26:12,399 Speaker 1: on social media that is obviously way better than the 432 00:26:12,440 --> 00:26:16,440 Speaker 1: real thing. You're always smiling and happy and in love, 433 00:26:16,520 --> 00:26:19,080 Speaker 1: and your kids are always, you know, well dressed and 434 00:26:19,119 --> 00:26:25,639 Speaker 1: smiling and happy and everything is the Is the presenting 435 00:26:25,680 --> 00:26:27,600 Speaker 1: that all the time and then falling short of it 436 00:26:28,280 --> 00:26:32,359 Speaker 1: done anything to people? Oh? Yeah, absolutely. 437 00:26:32,680 --> 00:26:35,480 Speaker 4: What's interesting about this study, and you've kind of guessed 438 00:26:35,520 --> 00:26:38,720 Speaker 4: some of it, is that for narcissists, that very thing 439 00:26:39,000 --> 00:26:43,840 Speaker 4: you've described you can self promote through carefully crafted images 440 00:26:44,640 --> 00:26:50,280 Speaker 4: and reinforce your interview of yourself as damn near flawless. Meanwhile, 441 00:26:50,600 --> 00:26:53,639 Speaker 4: if you have like a body dysmorphic disorder or just 442 00:26:53,680 --> 00:26:57,840 Speaker 4: insecurity or needing disorder or whatever, the feedback you get 443 00:26:57,920 --> 00:27:01,560 Speaker 4: from the world is not a friend's saying you're not fat, 444 00:27:01,600 --> 00:27:06,280 Speaker 4: you're fine. The feedback you get is these incredible people 445 00:27:06,280 --> 00:27:09,320 Speaker 4: who many of them don't even exist because they're you know, 446 00:27:09,400 --> 00:27:12,600 Speaker 4: filtered in the rest of it. They're your feedback to 447 00:27:12,840 --> 00:27:15,320 Speaker 4: what you ought to be. I guess I don't know. 448 00:27:15,359 --> 00:27:19,280 Speaker 4: I'm not an impressionable young woman, so I believe this stuff. 449 00:27:19,320 --> 00:27:21,120 Speaker 4: It's difficult for me to relate to. But I've raised 450 00:27:21,160 --> 00:27:22,359 Speaker 4: a couple of girls, so I get it. 451 00:27:23,119 --> 00:27:25,679 Speaker 1: Man. To the extent that we're on social media, my 452 00:27:25,840 --> 00:27:30,600 Speaker 1: brand is kind of schlubby screw up, so anything I 453 00:27:30,640 --> 00:27:36,280 Speaker 1: can post that reinforces that is to my benefit work wise. 454 00:27:36,520 --> 00:27:40,560 Speaker 1: So I don't really have the you know, glossy image 455 00:27:40,600 --> 00:27:41,639 Speaker 1: that I'm trying to portray. 456 00:27:42,760 --> 00:27:48,320 Speaker 4: Right, you're like insulated from narcissism and like, you know, insecurity. 457 00:27:48,480 --> 00:27:52,080 Speaker 1: Oh no, no, no, no, I'm a schlubby screw up exactly. 458 00:27:52,480 --> 00:27:56,000 Speaker 1: But I've never really thought about it on this level 459 00:27:56,000 --> 00:27:58,200 Speaker 1: before because I know some I'm thinking to some people 460 00:27:58,240 --> 00:28:02,920 Speaker 1: I know who's man there. Online presence is very very 461 00:28:03,000 --> 00:28:06,760 Speaker 1: perfection oriented and knowing in the back of your head 462 00:28:06,760 --> 00:28:11,239 Speaker 1: that that's not really you. You know, you didn't have to 463 00:28:11,240 --> 00:28:14,239 Speaker 1: you didn't used to have that. Maybe a little with 464 00:28:14,280 --> 00:28:17,080 Speaker 1: your friends, I suppose. Well, no, if they're actually friends 465 00:28:17,080 --> 00:28:20,720 Speaker 1: of yours, they you're presenting more of the real you. Sure. 466 00:28:21,040 --> 00:28:25,840 Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, I'm telling you need to unplug the Internet. 467 00:28:25,920 --> 00:28:27,480 Speaker 1: I mean that might be the very sort of thing 468 00:28:27,480 --> 00:28:31,719 Speaker 1: that made all celebrities crazy is they had a public 469 00:28:31,800 --> 00:28:34,960 Speaker 1: persona of being always happy and cool and well dressed 470 00:28:34,960 --> 00:28:36,880 Speaker 1: and everything like that, and they knew that wasn't them. 471 00:28:37,080 --> 00:28:41,520 Speaker 1: Now everybody's got that right, Yeah, to a large extent. 472 00:28:41,560 --> 00:28:42,680 Speaker 1: And that's a great point. 473 00:28:42,920 --> 00:28:45,320 Speaker 4: I remember when we were on TV and we would 474 00:28:45,320 --> 00:28:47,440 Speaker 4: both get recognized all the time. 475 00:28:47,520 --> 00:28:50,720 Speaker 1: It makes you weird. It made me really weird. It 476 00:28:51,120 --> 00:28:53,520 Speaker 1: put I was so anxious. 477 00:28:53,560 --> 00:28:54,960 Speaker 4: Isn't the right word, because it wasn't like I was 478 00:28:55,000 --> 00:28:56,040 Speaker 4: suffering from anxiety. 479 00:28:56,040 --> 00:28:58,400 Speaker 1: Well maybe I was.

It's just a scale of 524 00:31:34,200 --> 00:31:37,160 Speaker 1: zero to ten. You expect life to be sucky in 525 00:31:37,200 --> 00:31:40,800 Speaker 1: the next five years or great in the next five 526 00:31:40,880 --> 00:31:44,680 Speaker 1: years zero to ten. Now for young people, the numbers 527 00:31:44,720 --> 00:31:48,240 Speaker 1: have gone down a lot since the early two thousands, 528 00:31:48,280 --> 00:31:51,920 Speaker 1: from about an eight point five on average to down 529 00:31:51,960 --> 00:32:02,360 Speaker 1: to about a seven point five ten percent drop.
