00:00:56,560 --> 00:00:58,040
Speaker 4: I didn't realize the Winter Olympics or.

17
00:00:58,000 --> 00:00:58,840
Speaker 3: Twelve weeks away.

18
00:00:59,440 --> 00:01:05,360
Speaker 4: We're gonna yeah, and there's somewhere somewhere snowy isom France

19
00:01:05,640 --> 00:01:08,280
Speaker 4: where the winter limit Good'd be a good idea, crock

20
00:01:08,360 --> 00:01:09,920
Speaker 4: that for us? Will you, Katie ware are the dang

21
00:01:09,959 --> 00:01:12,640
Speaker 4: Winter Olympics? But anyway, Italy, I think or was that

22
00:01:12,720 --> 00:01:16,039
Speaker 4: last time? That doesn't matter someplace snowy is be a

23
00:01:16,040 --> 00:01:23,839
Speaker 4: good thing? It Yeah, probably not Jamaica, Milano, Cortina, I win. Congratulations.

24
00:01:24,160 --> 00:01:26,520
Speaker 4: So the Winter Olympics coming up in Italy, they ain't

25
00:01:26,560 --> 00:01:28,480
Speaker 4: gonna do the whole trans thing this time around.

26
00:01:28,520 --> 00:01:29,959
Speaker 3: Here's a little bit of that. This sounds like a

27
00:01:29,959 --> 00:01:31,560
Speaker 3: really big change potentially.

28
00:01:31,160 --> 00:01:33,600
Speaker 6: Nick, this would be big and it would be a

29
00:01:33,720 --> 00:01:36,920
Speaker 6: huge policy shift for the ile SE, which until now

30
00:01:37,160 --> 00:01:40,840
Speaker 6: has led each sports international governing body set their own

31
00:01:40,840 --> 00:01:43,319
Speaker 6: policies centered on transgender inclusion.

32
00:01:43,680 --> 00:01:44,720
Speaker 3: It would also mark.

33
00:01:44,560 --> 00:01:47,840
Speaker 6: A big change from the ILEC's twenty twenty one framework,

34
00:01:48,080 --> 00:01:51,240
Speaker 6: which said there should not be a presumption of advantage

35
00:01:51,320 --> 00:01:53,000
Speaker 6: when it comes to trans athletes.

36
00:01:53,640 --> 00:01:57,600
Speaker 4: So they were running scared last Olympics, like lots of

37
00:01:57,600 --> 00:01:59,920
Speaker 4: people were didn't want to be on the wrong side

38
00:02:00,160 --> 00:02:02,440
Speaker 4: this and said some things that they knew were wrong

39
00:02:02,520 --> 00:02:05,440
Speaker 4: and crazy, like you just heard and now I've changed

40
00:02:05,440 --> 00:02:05,800
Speaker 4: your mind.

41
00:02:05,840 --> 00:02:08,360
Speaker 3: Here's one of these spokespeople for the Olympics.

42
00:02:08,480 --> 00:02:10,920
Speaker 7: What I would like for the IOC to do is

43
00:02:10,960 --> 00:02:14,440
Speaker 7: to bring everyone together, to try and find a consensus

44
00:02:14,040 --> 00:02:17,280
Speaker 7: amongst all of us that we can all get behind

45
00:02:17,600 --> 00:02:20,760
Speaker 7: and that we can implement and above anything and everything else.

46
00:02:20,800 --> 00:02:23,120
Speaker 7: It's fair and protects the female categories.

47
00:02:23,160 --> 00:02:26,720
Speaker 4: They're all about protecting the female category. This she's new

48
00:02:26,760 --> 00:02:28,680
Speaker 4: and she got elected on the idea of I'm going

49
00:02:28,720 --> 00:02:31,760
Speaker 4: to protect women's sports, which is code for being and

50
00:02:31,919 --> 00:02:33,040
Speaker 4: let dudes.

51
00:02:34,160 --> 00:02:36,240
Speaker 3: Participate in our women's sports.

52
00:02:36,400 --> 00:02:38,160
Speaker 5: Well, of course you're not going to let men in

53
00:02:38,200 --> 00:02:41,600
Speaker 5: women's sports, then it's not women's sports, says virtually all

54
00:02:41,639 --> 00:02:44,240
Speaker 5: of humanity that got bullied into silence.

55
00:02:44,360 --> 00:02:47,280
Speaker 4: You know, in most cases, all these conversations that are

56
00:02:47,280 --> 00:02:50,320
Speaker 4: going on are how do we handle this without being

57
00:02:50,320 --> 00:02:52,919
Speaker 4: in trouble politically as opposed to what's the right thing

58
00:02:52,960 --> 00:02:56,080
Speaker 4: to do. You might have a couple true believers, you know,

59
00:02:57,320 --> 00:03:00,160
Speaker 4: your high school in California or something like that, but

60
00:03:00,360 --> 00:03:03,480
Speaker 4: mostly it's how do we handle this without causing a firestorm?

61
00:03:03,520 --> 00:03:06,520
Speaker 3: And here's the reasoning behind it all.

62
00:03:07,160 --> 00:03:10,480
Speaker 6: The IOC will issue the band sometime early next year,

63
00:03:10,720 --> 00:03:14,160
Speaker 6: citing a new scientific review that found effidence men have

64
00:03:14,240 --> 00:03:19,800
Speaker 6: a permanent physical advantage over women athletes even after hormone therapy. However,

65
00:03:19,840 --> 00:03:22,440
Speaker 6: the Guardian newspaper says the ban could still be a

66
00:03:22,560 --> 00:03:25,480
Speaker 6: year out and that the IOC is facing pushback to

67
00:03:25,520 --> 00:03:29,160
Speaker 6: a possible ban on athletes who reported female at birth,

68
00:03:29,400 --> 00:03:32,839
Speaker 6: but have male chromosomes and the same testosterone level as men,

69
00:03:33,240 --> 00:03:37,320
Speaker 6: also known as differences in sexual development. That would include

70
00:03:37,320 --> 00:03:42,160
Speaker 6: athletes like South Africa's casser Semenya, who won gold at

71
00:03:42,200 --> 00:03:45,080
Speaker 6: the London and Real Games before Track and Fields governing

72
00:03:45,120 --> 00:03:49,160
Speaker 6: body World Athletics banned DSc athletes from competing as women

73
00:03:49,400 --> 00:03:50,440
Speaker 6: in twenty twenty three.

74
00:03:51,440 --> 00:03:57,920
Speaker 4: DSc different sexual characteristics or whatever. Sah, yeah, yeah, I

75
00:03:58,040 --> 00:04:00,280
Speaker 4: like this new study that came out that said have

76
00:04:00,320 --> 00:04:01,360
Speaker 4: an advantage over women.

77
00:04:01,600 --> 00:04:03,760
Speaker 5: That's a good scientific study. I wonder who did that.

78
00:04:04,000 --> 00:04:06,960
Speaker 5: How much did you spend? Tell me about the methodology.

79
00:04:07,240 --> 00:04:10,760
Speaker 5: That's hilarious that they had to hide behind a new study,

80
00:04:11,280 --> 00:04:13,240
Speaker 5: good lord, instead of ancient wisdom.

81
00:04:13,400 --> 00:04:17,000
Speaker 4: You know, it strikes me you've learned since you were

82
00:04:17,000 --> 00:04:20,680
Speaker 4: a little kid on the playground. Going forward is the

83
00:04:20,720 --> 00:04:22,600
Speaker 4: new scientific study.

84
00:04:22,760 --> 00:04:26,040
Speaker 3: So I was reading about the women's soccer league.

85
00:04:26,040 --> 00:04:28,320
Speaker 5: They've had a controversy lately, and it's all centered around

86
00:04:28,400 --> 00:04:32,560
Speaker 5: this one player who is much bigger and muscular than

87
00:04:32,680 --> 00:04:36,000
Speaker 5: all of the girls on the field. Looks like a dude,

88
00:04:36,120 --> 00:04:38,400
Speaker 5: plays like a dude, built like a dude, et cetera.

89
00:04:38,800 --> 00:04:42,719
Speaker 5: It's a similar case to castor Semenya who they mentioned

90
00:04:42,800 --> 00:04:44,240
Speaker 5: who has internal testicles.

91
00:04:45,040 --> 00:04:45,680
Speaker 3: It was one of the.

92
00:04:47,800 --> 00:04:51,680
Speaker 4: That'd be awesome. Oh I like having testicles. I just

93
00:04:51,680 --> 00:04:52,279
Speaker 4: don't want him in.

94
00:04:52,240 --> 00:04:56,000
Speaker 5: The way I see, thanks for clarifying. So, but that's

95
00:04:56,000 --> 00:04:58,920
Speaker 5: one of the extremely rare cases where sex assigned at

96
00:04:58,920 --> 00:05:01,360
Speaker 5: birth is a phrase that makes any sense because these

97
00:05:01,360 --> 00:05:07,200
Speaker 5: are people with both sets of genitals, meaning no, of

98
00:05:07,240 --> 00:05:11,440
Speaker 5: course not no. So she has both ovaries and testicles

99
00:05:11,480 --> 00:05:14,560
Speaker 5: and has much much higher test to party like that.

100
00:05:14,880 --> 00:05:17,640
Speaker 5: The Turkish fella who was whipping up on the girls

101
00:05:17,680 --> 00:05:19,760
Speaker 5: in the boxing last time around too.

102
00:05:20,440 --> 00:05:22,200
Speaker 3: But you know, and it's funny.

103
00:05:22,240 --> 00:05:24,720
Speaker 4: How so what do you left, what do you think

104
00:05:24,760 --> 00:05:27,280
Speaker 4: we should do with people who have testicles and ovaries?

105
00:05:27,520 --> 00:05:29,839
Speaker 5: Oh, it's a shame, but they can't compete in women's sports.

106
00:05:30,080 --> 00:05:31,360
Speaker 5: And that's the point I was about to make. The

107
00:05:31,440 --> 00:05:35,080
Speaker 5: left always it's funny. They just are crazy about individual rights,

108
00:05:35,400 --> 00:05:38,719
Speaker 5: except when it comes to individual rights that conservatives like,

109
00:05:38,800 --> 00:05:39,919
Speaker 5: then they have no interest in them.

110
00:05:39,960 --> 00:05:41,080
Speaker 3: It's all about the community.

111
00:05:41,920 --> 00:05:44,360
Speaker 5: But yeah, I feel terrible for those people if they

112
00:05:44,360 --> 00:05:46,120
Speaker 5: want to be athletes, but they can either compete as

113
00:05:46,120 --> 00:05:48,800
Speaker 5: manner in an open category. You can't beat the crap

114
00:05:48,839 --> 00:05:52,680
Speaker 5: out of women because you are functionally athletically speaking, a man.

115
00:05:52,720 --> 00:05:56,599
Speaker 3: According to a new study, there avantage by being a man.

116
00:05:57,279 --> 00:05:59,840
Speaker 5: Oh, speaking of this sort of thing, I just finished

117
00:06:00,279 --> 00:06:03,400
Speaker 5: the piece by Colin Wright, who's terrific writer.

118
00:06:03,480 --> 00:06:05,279
Speaker 3: He writes about this sort of thing.

119
00:06:06,080 --> 00:06:08,719
Speaker 5: He was an academic scientist at Penn State in twenty

120
00:06:08,760 --> 00:06:14,640
Speaker 5: twenty and there was that crazy explosion in adolescent transgenderism

121
00:06:14,720 --> 00:06:18,839
Speaker 5: among young girls, and he commented two words social contagion.

122
00:06:19,200 --> 00:06:22,880
Speaker 5: Within hours, his colleagues denounced him as a transphobic bigot,

123
00:06:23,160 --> 00:06:25,600
Speaker 5: and the online mob came from him before him and

124
00:06:25,680 --> 00:06:31,160
Speaker 5: crushed his academic career. And he talks about how he

125
00:06:31,200 --> 00:06:35,040
Speaker 5: was referring to research published by a scientist who had

126
00:06:35,080 --> 00:06:38,200
Speaker 5: coined the term rapid onset genderness for you in twenty eighteen,

127
00:06:38,279 --> 00:06:41,520
Speaker 5: the peer reviewed paper blah blah blah, and that the

128
00:06:41,560 --> 00:06:45,240
Speaker 5: pattern was clearly explained by social contagion, the spread of

129
00:06:45,279 --> 00:06:48,360
Speaker 5: ideas or behaviors through peer influence. And there are other examples,

130
00:06:48,360 --> 00:06:51,719
Speaker 5: whether it's cutting or anarexi or whatever. Teen girls are

131
00:06:51,720 --> 00:06:54,440
Speaker 5: just incredibly prone to that sort of thing. But then

132
00:06:54,520 --> 00:06:59,920
Speaker 5: he gets to the fact that the left wing dogma

133
00:07:01,200 --> 00:07:05,080
Speaker 5: that gender identity is innate and immutable people are born

134
00:07:06,520 --> 00:07:07,679
Speaker 5: as transgender.

135
00:07:08,480 --> 00:07:11,280
Speaker 3: It's not they're not convinced by a trend or whatever.

136
00:07:11,320 --> 00:07:15,520
Speaker 5: It's they're born, and that claim underpins the medical practice

137
00:07:15,520 --> 00:07:19,720
Speaker 5: and the legal strategy puberty blockers, cross such hormones, mutilations

138
00:07:19,720 --> 00:07:23,320
Speaker 5: of kids, minors, and the rest of it, and the

139
00:07:23,320 --> 00:07:27,480
Speaker 5: civil rights argument. So then he makes the point that

140
00:07:27,640 --> 00:07:31,640
Speaker 5: the dominant argument to the counter argument to the social

141
00:07:31,680 --> 00:07:34,800
Speaker 5: contagent theory is that the sharp rise in transgender identification

142
00:07:34,840 --> 00:07:38,760
Speaker 5: over the past decades simply reflects liberation right people are

143
00:07:38,800 --> 00:07:44,640
Speaker 5: more comfortable expressing their authentic selves. That has been the argument.

144
00:07:45,760 --> 00:07:49,040
Speaker 5: As transgender activist and biologist Julius Serrano put it in

145
00:07:49,040 --> 00:07:51,920
Speaker 5: twenty seventeen, there really wasn't a rise in left handedness

146
00:07:52,160 --> 00:07:55,040
Speaker 5: so much as there was a rise in left handed acceptance.

147
00:07:56,080 --> 00:07:59,760
Speaker 5: That's an interesting premise, isn't it. People were free to

148
00:07:59,800 --> 00:08:03,240
Speaker 5: be who the f they were, as John Oliver put

149
00:08:03,280 --> 00:08:07,760
Speaker 5: it on his Last Week Tonight. But then Colin points out,

150
00:08:08,120 --> 00:08:11,160
Speaker 5: if transgender identity were an innate trait like left handedness,

151
00:08:11,160 --> 00:08:14,640
Speaker 5: we would expect identification rates to rise at first when

152
00:08:14,680 --> 00:08:18,880
Speaker 5: it became socially acceptable, then plateau and remain stable at

153
00:08:18,880 --> 00:08:22,680
Speaker 5: a fixed level. If the phenomenon were instead driven by

154
00:08:22,720 --> 00:08:26,480
Speaker 5: social contagion, we might expect a boom and bust pattern,

155
00:08:26,680 --> 00:08:29,920
Speaker 5: a spike followed by a rapid decline once the social

156
00:08:29,960 --> 00:08:35,120
Speaker 5: forces driving it were weakened. And indeed that has become

157
00:08:35,280 --> 00:08:41,280
Speaker 5: incredibly clear. Transgenderal identification has fallen fifty percent in two

158
00:08:41,440 --> 00:08:46,720
Speaker 5: years among college students and adolescents a couple of different studies.

159
00:08:47,920 --> 00:08:52,480
Speaker 5: It was clearly a social contagion, and people who got

160
00:08:52,480 --> 00:08:54,800
Speaker 5: their careers ruined for saying it wasn't good.

161
00:08:54,840 --> 00:08:58,280
Speaker 3: Lord, were you a victim of an angry wrong mob.

162
00:08:59,240 --> 00:09:01,600
Speaker 4: I'm glad left handedness that didn't catch on as a

163
00:09:01,640 --> 00:09:04,000
Speaker 4: social contagent and have a hard time pretending I was

164
00:09:04,080 --> 00:09:07,680
Speaker 4: left handed, eating, tying my shoes, whatever I'm doing.

165
00:09:07,880 --> 00:09:11,000
Speaker 5: Yeah, And then he points out that the overwhelming majority

166
00:09:11,000 --> 00:09:14,160
Speaker 5: of those driving the trans mania fall into the non

167
00:09:14,320 --> 00:09:19,080
Speaker 5: binary category, adopting identities which are said to be neither both,

168
00:09:19,200 --> 00:09:23,559
Speaker 5: somewhere in between demi boy, gender fluid, two spirit. These

169
00:09:23,600 --> 00:09:27,439
Speaker 5: are social identities, not biological ones. Unlike right handedness or

170
00:09:27,520 --> 00:09:32,439
Speaker 5: left handedness, non very non binary identities have no anatomical

171
00:09:32,520 --> 00:09:36,280
Speaker 5: or physiological reference. They're conceptual, political, and responsive to cultural

172
00:09:36,320 --> 00:09:38,479
Speaker 5: trends hallmarks of a social contagion.

173
00:09:38,840 --> 00:09:43,880
Speaker 4: Case closed dam next case. Man, I'm looking at the

174
00:09:44,480 --> 00:09:46,960
Speaker 4: dust up that happened in Berkeley. I wish i'd gone

175
00:09:47,000 --> 00:09:49,520
Speaker 4: last night. I was thinking about going. It's only whatever,

176
00:09:49,520 --> 00:09:52,280
Speaker 4: it is forty five miles from my house, but I

177
00:09:52,280 --> 00:09:56,000
Speaker 4: had some kids stuff going on. But it got pretty

178
00:09:56,000 --> 00:09:59,400
Speaker 4: spicy there outside the Turning Point event in Berkeley last night.

179
00:10:00,000 --> 00:10:02,640
Speaker 3: Are they needed you there fighting Antifa? And what did

180
00:10:02,640 --> 00:10:03,640
Speaker 3: you do? You stay at home?

181
00:10:03,880 --> 00:10:05,960
Speaker 4: What are the who are these numbnuts that show up

182
00:10:06,000 --> 00:10:08,200
Speaker 4: to fight this stuff? Just let them, let them gather

183
00:10:08,240 --> 00:10:11,520
Speaker 4: and speak it. What's the skin off your nose? They're

184
00:10:11,600 --> 00:10:15,760
Speaker 4: actually convinced that they're fascists. They believe, and that's that's

185
00:10:15,880 --> 00:10:18,280
Speaker 4: I have to remind myself of that semi regularly. And

186
00:10:18,280 --> 00:10:20,520
Speaker 4: it's true on the right, but especially on the left,

187
00:10:20,920 --> 00:10:24,880
Speaker 4: there is a significant group of people that believes the most.

188
00:10:24,880 --> 00:10:29,120
Speaker 5: Lunatic rantings of activists. They believe it.

189
00:10:29,240 --> 00:10:31,760
Speaker 4: You're willing to get into a fistfight over somebody speaking

190
00:10:31,760 --> 00:10:34,200
Speaker 4: in an auditorium.

191
00:10:33,559 --> 00:10:35,119
Speaker 3: Yeah, you're you're the fascist.

192
00:10:35,160 --> 00:10:38,720
Speaker 5: I mean clearly, Let's see you dress up in a uniform,

193
00:10:38,840 --> 00:10:41,240
Speaker 5: you go to the opposition events, and you beat people

194
00:10:41,360 --> 00:10:43,920
Speaker 5: up and call them fascists.

195
00:10:44,200 --> 00:10:46,800
Speaker 3: People inside having the speaking engagement.

196
00:10:47,360 --> 00:10:50,120
Speaker 5: It's the lack of appreciating the irony that offends me

197
00:10:50,160 --> 00:10:50,600
Speaker 5: the most.

198
00:10:51,200 --> 00:10:56,520
Speaker 1: The Armstrong and Getty Show, Jaorgio podcasts and our hot links.

199
00:11:01,840 --> 00:11:03,600
Speaker 2: The Armstrong and Getty shot.

200
00:11:08,880 --> 00:11:12,120
Speaker 3: I would love to do it. I have my best numbers. Ever,

201
00:11:12,160 --> 00:11:14,000
Speaker 3: it's very terrible. I have my best nubbers.

202
00:11:14,000 --> 00:11:19,199
Speaker 8: Say you read it, am I not running it out

203
00:11:19,360 --> 00:11:20,320
Speaker 8: and you'll have to tell me.

204
00:11:20,400 --> 00:11:21,800
Speaker 3: All I can tell you is that we have a

205
00:11:22,920 --> 00:11:24,320
Speaker 3: great group of people which stay.

206
00:11:24,360 --> 00:11:27,400
Speaker 4: Don't That's Donald Trump the case. You couldn't hear. He's

207
00:11:27,400 --> 00:11:29,400
Speaker 4: on the plane. He's flying around, going to all these

208
00:11:29,400 --> 00:11:34,000
Speaker 4: different countries over in Asia. You could run as vice president?

209
00:11:34,040 --> 00:11:35,360
Speaker 4: He said, yeah, I could do that, but that's a

210
00:11:35,400 --> 00:11:38,000
Speaker 4: little too cute. They're talking about the third term Trump thing,

211
00:11:38,280 --> 00:11:40,440
Speaker 4: and then they ask him like three times if he's

212
00:11:40,520 --> 00:11:42,840
Speaker 4: ruling out running again in twenty twenty eight. How do

213
00:11:42,920 --> 00:11:45,680
Speaker 4: you not get that this is him just getting you

214
00:11:45,720 --> 00:11:48,840
Speaker 4: to dance to his tune to make you leap. MSNBC

215
00:11:49,000 --> 00:11:53,120
Speaker 4: will have ten panels all day long about this doesn't

216
00:11:53,160 --> 00:11:55,320
Speaker 4: rule out a third term? How do you not get

217
00:11:55,600 --> 00:11:58,560
Speaker 4: that he's doing that? Have you ever had like a

218
00:11:58,640 --> 00:12:01,600
Speaker 4: kid doing this to you? Are you using a seven

219
00:12:01,679 --> 00:12:02,040
Speaker 4: year old?

220
00:12:02,120 --> 00:12:05,000
Speaker 3: Do you just ignore them? Yeah?

221
00:12:05,520 --> 00:12:09,480
Speaker 5: Do the Rachel Meadows of the world not get it

222
00:12:09,600 --> 00:12:10,360
Speaker 5: or do they know?

223
00:12:10,640 --> 00:12:14,160
Speaker 3: But their viewers lap it up. Your audience likes it

224
00:12:14,160 --> 00:12:14,560
Speaker 3: so much.

225
00:12:15,080 --> 00:12:18,000
Speaker 5: Yeah, it's a you know, it's a perpetual motion machine.

226
00:12:18,000 --> 00:12:19,800
Speaker 5: Trump loves them. They love Trump.

227
00:12:20,120 --> 00:12:22,880
Speaker 4: So Kamala Harris, I guess hinted enough on BBC that

228
00:12:22,960 --> 00:12:23,760
Speaker 4: she might run again.

229
00:12:23,800 --> 00:12:25,720
Speaker 3: That that got people excited. This is how that went.

230
00:12:26,040 --> 00:12:29,240
Speaker 2: Stories of your baby nieces, Amara and Leila.

231
00:12:30,400 --> 00:12:31,880
Speaker 9: When are they going to see a woman in charge

232
00:12:31,880 --> 00:12:33,880
Speaker 9: in the White House in their lifetime?

233
00:12:33,880 --> 00:12:34,360
Speaker 3: For sure?

234
00:12:35,760 --> 00:12:36,280
Speaker 2: Could it be you?

235
00:12:37,120 --> 00:12:37,640
Speaker 3: Possibly?

236
00:12:39,000 --> 00:12:40,200
Speaker 10: Have you made a decision yet?

237
00:12:40,320 --> 00:12:40,800
Speaker 9: No, I have not.

238
00:12:41,280 --> 00:12:44,360
Speaker 2: But you say in your book, I'm not done.

239
00:12:44,480 --> 00:12:47,960
Speaker 9: That is correct. I am not done. I have lived

240
00:12:48,200 --> 00:12:52,040
Speaker 9: my entire career a life of service, and it's in

241
00:12:52,080 --> 00:12:55,440
Speaker 9: my bones and there are many ways to serve. I've

242
00:12:55,520 --> 00:12:58,520
Speaker 9: not decided yet what I will do in the future

243
00:12:58,720 --> 00:13:00,839
Speaker 9: beyond what I'm doing right now.

244
00:13:01,520 --> 00:13:03,000
Speaker 4: I've known a lot of people in my life that

245
00:13:03,040 --> 00:13:06,079
Speaker 4: actually do dedicate their lives to public service, either as

246
00:13:06,160 --> 00:13:08,880
Speaker 4: their career or like as a hobby. You know, anybody

247
00:13:08,920 --> 00:13:13,280
Speaker 4: who's coaching Little league or being a boy scout troop

248
00:13:13,360 --> 00:13:16,800
Speaker 4: guy or whatever. But you freaking politicians have become rich

249
00:13:16,840 --> 00:13:20,240
Speaker 4: and famous, sign multi gazillion dollar book deals.

250
00:13:20,400 --> 00:13:23,319
Speaker 3: Don't hit me with you. I'm in a life of service, bulls.

251
00:13:23,520 --> 00:13:26,280
Speaker 3: It makes me angry that you do that.

252
00:13:26,280 --> 00:13:30,040
Speaker 5: That is just so Oh, I'm going to continue my

253
00:13:30,200 --> 00:13:33,720
Speaker 5: service by making a quarter million dollars a year serving

254
00:13:33,760 --> 00:13:36,880
Speaker 5: on the boards of five different corporations, and the however

255
00:13:36,960 --> 00:13:39,000
Speaker 5: many twice a year, however many million.

256
00:13:38,800 --> 00:13:40,439
Speaker 3: Dollars she got from that book she just wrote.

257
00:13:41,320 --> 00:13:44,959
Speaker 4: Anyway, she gets confronted with the idea of her possibly

258
00:13:45,040 --> 00:13:45,600
Speaker 4: running again.

259
00:13:45,880 --> 00:13:48,120
Speaker 10: But you've been very clear that it's a possibility you

260
00:13:48,200 --> 00:13:50,760
Speaker 10: might run again to become president. And in my experience

261
00:13:50,800 --> 00:13:53,560
Speaker 10: interviewing politicians, when someone says I'm not done, it means

262
00:13:53,559 --> 00:13:55,679
Speaker 10: they are thinking seriously about running. But when you look

263
00:13:55,679 --> 00:14:00,400
Speaker 10: at the bookies' odds, they put you as an eider,

264
00:14:00,480 --> 00:14:04,360
Speaker 10: even behind Dwayne the Rock Johnston. I mean, is that

265
00:14:04,559 --> 00:14:05,920
Speaker 10: underestimating you?

266
00:14:07,840 --> 00:14:09,920
Speaker 9: I think there are all kinds of polls that will

267
00:14:09,960 --> 00:14:13,080
Speaker 9: tell you a variety of things. I've never listened to poles.

268
00:14:13,440 --> 00:14:15,320
Speaker 9: If some polls I would have not run for my

269
00:14:15,360 --> 00:14:18,400
Speaker 9: first office or my second office, and I certainly wouldn't

270
00:14:18,400 --> 00:14:19,600
Speaker 9: be sitting here in this interview.

271
00:14:20,440 --> 00:14:24,640
Speaker 5: But the bookies put the odds at for bazillion to one.

272
00:14:25,520 --> 00:14:31,480
Speaker 4: That's not even a real number. I've never believed the

273
00:14:31,520 --> 00:14:33,840
Speaker 4: polls are looked at them. Yeah, when you were losing

274
00:14:33,920 --> 00:14:38,560
Speaker 4: every swing state and every POLEX, you pretended that you should.

275
00:14:38,280 --> 00:14:40,239
Speaker 3: Have taken a glance. Yeah, exactly.

276
00:14:40,440 --> 00:14:42,000
Speaker 4: It might be every once in a while just worth

277
00:14:42,320 --> 00:14:44,680
Speaker 4: taking a quick look. Hey, I'm losing every swing state

278
00:14:44,680 --> 00:14:47,000
Speaker 4: according to the polls. I'll be darned anyway.

279
00:14:47,080 --> 00:14:50,040
Speaker 3: So that's that. I hope she runs. That'd be hilarious.

280
00:14:50,600 --> 00:14:53,640
Speaker 4: Kevin Newsom is going to run, and is you know

281
00:14:53,640 --> 00:14:56,120
Speaker 4: I've got a serious shot of being the nominee. He's

282
00:14:56,160 --> 00:15:00,000
Speaker 4: starting to lay out his first of all, the whole

283
00:15:00,080 --> 00:15:01,600
Speaker 4: question are you going to run or not? And acting

284
00:15:01,640 --> 00:15:03,240
Speaker 4: like that's a big deal. When they finally came and

285
00:15:03,280 --> 00:15:05,920
Speaker 4: say yes, if you're interested in that, good for you.

286
00:15:06,360 --> 00:15:08,160
Speaker 3: So you haven't. Newsom over the weekend said yes he's

287
00:15:08,200 --> 00:15:10,600
Speaker 3: going to run or considering it, and.

288
00:15:10,600 --> 00:15:14,920
Speaker 5: Yes, I plan on being one of the seventeen nobody's

289
00:15:15,080 --> 00:15:16,960
Speaker 5: on a stage early.

290
00:15:16,720 --> 00:15:19,960
Speaker 4: Next year, Yes exactly, And here he is laying out

291
00:15:19,960 --> 00:15:21,200
Speaker 4: his hard scrabble upbringing.

292
00:15:21,840 --> 00:15:24,040
Speaker 8: But also, you know, it was also about paying the

293
00:15:24,080 --> 00:15:27,800
Speaker 8: bills man. And it was just like hustling and and

294
00:15:27,840 --> 00:15:31,640
Speaker 8: so I was out there kind of raising myself, turning

295
00:15:31,640 --> 00:15:35,480
Speaker 8: on the TV started, you know, just getting obsessed, you know,

296
00:15:35,520 --> 00:15:38,600
Speaker 8: sitting there with the you know, the wonderbread and five

297
00:15:38,680 --> 00:15:40,000
Speaker 8: stacks of Hey, you.

298
00:15:39,920 --> 00:15:42,640
Speaker 3: Know, the white story.

299
00:15:44,520 --> 00:15:55,040
Speaker 11: Come every day every day in the backyard, just bouncing

300
00:15:55,040 --> 00:15:58,360
Speaker 11: the basketball, throwing the ball against the wall until the ball.

301
00:15:58,240 --> 00:16:02,000
Speaker 3: Is just like fraying. Man. And that's it whole thing.

302
00:16:02,480 --> 00:16:03,600
Speaker 3: What is he talking about?

303
00:16:04,120 --> 00:16:06,640
Speaker 5: There are some days we are so poor I couldn't

304
00:16:06,800 --> 00:16:10,080
Speaker 5: use new hair gel, and he was used from the

305
00:16:10,120 --> 00:16:10,720
Speaker 5: day before.

306
00:16:11,280 --> 00:16:14,720
Speaker 3: What didn't he grow up in Nancy Pelosi's orbit somehow? Yeah?

307
00:16:14,840 --> 00:16:15,560
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, yeah.

308
00:16:15,600 --> 00:16:18,120
Speaker 5: His family was connected to the Pelosis and I think

309
00:16:18,120 --> 00:16:20,320
Speaker 5: the Gettys and oh yeah.

310
00:16:20,360 --> 00:16:22,520
Speaker 3: But that's once again, like I was saying earlier.

311
00:16:22,240 --> 00:16:24,880
Speaker 5: About paying the bills man, paying the Shardonnaye bill, the

312
00:16:24,960 --> 00:16:28,680
Speaker 5: Pino Noir bill, servants, they had to be paid.

313
00:16:28,800 --> 00:16:30,760
Speaker 4: Who's going to pay the driver? I mean, you know,

314
00:16:30,840 --> 00:16:32,960
Speaker 4: right he picks up and takes you places, somebody's got

315
00:16:33,000 --> 00:16:34,440
Speaker 4: paid the driver, the.

316
00:16:34,440 --> 00:16:37,000
Speaker 5: Nanny, the assistant nanny. It was about paying the bills.

317
00:16:37,320 --> 00:16:39,800
Speaker 5: So I've latched onto a thing with Gavin Newsom. Now

318
00:16:39,800 --> 00:16:43,440
Speaker 5: officially he doesn't say anything. He's like you said, he's

319
00:16:43,480 --> 00:16:46,240
Speaker 5: better than Kamala Harris. It's not laughable word salads where

320
00:16:46,240 --> 00:16:49,080
Speaker 5: everybody mocks it, but he doesn't actually say anything.

321
00:16:49,720 --> 00:16:51,880
Speaker 3: He gets credit for these clips.

322
00:16:53,600 --> 00:16:56,080
Speaker 5: Yeah, but he doesn't think he's going somewhere, but he

323
00:16:56,160 --> 00:16:59,680
Speaker 5: never says it. Then like throws out another three quarters

324
00:16:59,720 --> 00:17:02,080
Speaker 5: of us sentence that never actually land.

325
00:17:01,880 --> 00:17:04,840
Speaker 4: Because he never ever said where he is on trans

326
00:17:04,840 --> 00:17:07,400
Speaker 4: sports thing, he never said anything about it.

327
00:17:07,880 --> 00:17:11,880
Speaker 5: I agree it's about fairness and there are concerns fairness,

328
00:17:11,880 --> 00:17:13,560
Speaker 5: but right there, what did he say there?

329
00:17:14,160 --> 00:17:16,440
Speaker 3: What did he even claim? I don't know what happened there.

330
00:17:16,920 --> 00:17:20,480
Speaker 3: He used to like bounce a ball a lot, or

331
00:17:20,520 --> 00:17:21,119
Speaker 3: have a peanut butter.

332
00:17:21,359 --> 00:17:23,679
Speaker 4: I'd turn on the TV, you know, and have a

333
00:17:23,720 --> 00:17:26,240
Speaker 4: sandwich and what traft MACARONI?

334
00:17:26,400 --> 00:17:32,240
Speaker 5: Geez, okay, you named some fools.

335
00:17:32,280 --> 00:17:36,399
Speaker 2: Jack Armstrong and Joe, The Armstrong.

336
00:17:35,920 --> 00:17:45,080
Speaker 1: And Getty Show, The Armstrong and Getdy Show.

337
00:17:49,440 --> 00:17:53,440
Speaker 12: Kids don't like capitalism, and I think a lot of

338
00:17:53,480 --> 00:17:55,560
Speaker 12: it has to do with social media, the clickbait right

339
00:17:56,320 --> 00:17:59,719
Speaker 12: rage bait works better in social media and gets more

340
00:17:59,760 --> 00:18:03,920
Speaker 12: people attention. And if Mundami is out there saying you're

341
00:18:03,960 --> 00:18:07,959
Speaker 12: getting free housing, you're getting free transportation, you're getting cheaper groceries,

342
00:18:08,080 --> 00:18:10,040
Speaker 12: and that's what they're going to respond positively to.

343
00:18:10,280 --> 00:18:13,199
Speaker 3: Is there any way that can work? No, No, of

344
00:18:13,200 --> 00:18:13,639
Speaker 3: course not.

345
00:18:13,880 --> 00:18:21,000
Speaker 12: No financial problem in America.

346
00:18:21,359 --> 00:18:21,920
Speaker 3: That's great.

347
00:18:22,040 --> 00:18:26,879
Speaker 4: Mark Cuban, one of the most successful capitalists in history

348
00:18:26,920 --> 00:18:29,640
Speaker 4: as a billionaire, saying to Bill Maher when Bill Maher

349
00:18:29,680 --> 00:18:32,040
Speaker 4: asked of that work in New York, say no.

350
00:18:32,520 --> 00:18:33,159
Speaker 3: Of course not.

351
00:18:34,080 --> 00:18:34,119
Speaker 2: No.

352
00:18:34,480 --> 00:18:37,840
Speaker 5: The other guy, whoever it was, oh Andrew Ross Sorkin,

353
00:18:37,920 --> 00:18:41,080
Speaker 5: talking about how we have a financial literacy problem. That's

354
00:18:41,119 --> 00:18:44,080
Speaker 5: one hundred percent correct, absolutely correct.

355
00:18:44,119 --> 00:18:46,520
Speaker 3: Well, because the freaking teachers are socialists.

356
00:18:46,720 --> 00:18:49,200
Speaker 4: So no, they're not going to teach you the financial

357
00:18:49,240 --> 00:18:52,320
Speaker 4: literacy that says, no capitalism free markets are good in

358
00:18:52,359 --> 00:18:56,120
Speaker 4: this way. And here's why rent control and government run

359
00:18:56,160 --> 00:18:58,960
Speaker 4: grocery stores and all these things have been tried. Don't work.

360
00:18:59,080 --> 00:19:00,560
Speaker 4: Your teacher is not going to do that because they

361
00:19:00,600 --> 00:19:02,000
Speaker 4: believe in socialism.

362
00:19:02,359 --> 00:19:02,600
Speaker 1: Right.

363
00:19:03,200 --> 00:19:04,480
Speaker 3: God's interesting.

364
00:19:05,080 --> 00:19:07,320
Speaker 5: You can talk people out of believing in rent control,

365
00:19:07,400 --> 00:19:10,119
Speaker 5: for instance, in three minutes, and three minutes is a

366
00:19:10,119 --> 00:19:11,960
Speaker 5: little luxurious. You give me two and a half, I'm

367
00:19:11,960 --> 00:19:14,000
Speaker 5: pretty sure I can get it done. But if you're

368
00:19:14,000 --> 00:19:16,800
Speaker 5: never exposed to that sort of thinking that again, socialism

369
00:19:16,920 --> 00:19:20,320
Speaker 5: is the greatest scam ever designed, I think. So I'm

370
00:19:20,480 --> 00:19:24,120
Speaker 5: on that topic kind of sort of in the next stuff.

371
00:19:24,160 --> 00:19:26,720
Speaker 4: We can talk about it through Ross Sorkin, who's the

372
00:19:26,840 --> 00:19:29,880
Speaker 4: hero of the left for you know, financial stuff, said

373
00:19:29,960 --> 00:19:31,440
Speaker 4: no it can't.

374
00:19:31,080 --> 00:19:35,800
Speaker 5: Work right, right, Yeah, So this is kind of a

375
00:19:36,200 --> 00:19:39,720
Speaker 5: looking at the left thing having to do with online culture.

376
00:19:39,760 --> 00:19:42,879
Speaker 5: But I came across a piece, really well considered and

377
00:19:42,920 --> 00:19:46,160
Speaker 5: written piece in the Free Press about how a lot

378
00:19:46,200 --> 00:19:51,280
Speaker 5: of young conservatives are getting swept up in really ugly

379
00:19:51,400 --> 00:19:59,120
Speaker 5: stuff online into you know, neo fascism and the whole, like, uh,

380
00:19:59,400 --> 00:20:02,480
Speaker 5: most thing the man is for the whole what's his

381
00:20:02,560 --> 00:20:05,639
Speaker 5: name Cooper who talks to a Tucker and tries to

382
00:20:05,640 --> 00:20:07,840
Speaker 5: claim that Churchill was a bad guy and Hitler was

383
00:20:07,920 --> 00:20:08,800
Speaker 5: misunderstood all.

384
00:20:08,680 --> 00:20:11,120
Speaker 3: Those historian Darryl Cooper, who's not actually.

385
00:20:10,760 --> 00:20:14,679
Speaker 5: He's not an effing historian right exactly, And how a

386
00:20:14,680 --> 00:20:16,399
Speaker 5: lot of young people on the writer are getting swayed

387
00:20:16,400 --> 00:20:19,240
Speaker 5: by this stuff too. So it's not entirely a lefty proposition.

388
00:20:19,320 --> 00:20:23,560
Speaker 5: But the headline in the Wall Street Journal over the weekend, girl,

389
00:20:23,840 --> 00:20:29,640
Speaker 5: take your Crazy pills. Antidepressants recast is a hot lifestyle accessory.

390
00:20:30,200 --> 00:20:34,159
Speaker 5: Influencers tout the drugs, but many unsuspecting followers find the

391
00:20:34,160 --> 00:20:37,400
Speaker 5: side effects take the fun out of life, and they

392
00:20:37,440 --> 00:20:39,640
Speaker 5: give a bunch of examples of like this one stay

393
00:20:39,680 --> 00:20:43,720
Speaker 5: at home mom. She felt lonely, overwhelmed at times, paralyzed

394
00:20:43,720 --> 00:20:47,520
Speaker 5: with anxiety and self doubt, and so she heard a

395
00:20:47,680 --> 00:20:51,840
Speaker 5: former MTV star talk up lexa pro on a podcast.

396
00:20:52,160 --> 00:20:54,840
Speaker 5: She searched for the drug on TikTok her go to

397
00:20:54,960 --> 00:20:59,760
Speaker 5: information source and found hashtag lexa protoc and similar niche

398
00:20:59,800 --> 00:21:02,320
Speaker 5: on on communities where women in their twenties and thirties

399
00:21:02,320 --> 00:21:04,080
Speaker 5: praised the benefits of antidepressants.

400
00:21:04,800 --> 00:21:06,480
Speaker 3: She posted a video asking for help.

401
00:21:06,600 --> 00:21:10,240
Speaker 5: Someone recommended a telehealth company, She answered a quick questionnaire,

402
00:21:10,280 --> 00:21:14,320
Speaker 5: and an online nurse protect practitioner slash drug dealer prescribed

403
00:21:14,320 --> 00:21:15,680
Speaker 5: a generic version of lexipro.

404
00:21:15,760 --> 00:21:18,800
Speaker 3: Bottle arrived a couple of days later, and then this gal.

405
00:21:18,800 --> 00:21:22,600
Speaker 4: Wow, that's that easy to get on the SSRIs. I mean,

406
00:21:22,640 --> 00:21:25,399
Speaker 4: most doctors are gonna throw it at you anyway, based

407
00:21:25,400 --> 00:21:28,240
Speaker 4: on my experience. But she didn't even have to leave

408
00:21:28,240 --> 00:21:28,919
Speaker 4: her house.

409
00:21:29,680 --> 00:21:33,160
Speaker 5: So she immediately starts posting TikTok videos of herself running

410
00:21:33,160 --> 00:21:35,840
Speaker 5: to the mailbox for a pill package, taking a dose,

411
00:21:36,000 --> 00:21:40,119
Speaker 5: using such hashtags as lexipro, batties and get help Mama.

412
00:21:40,480 --> 00:21:42,760
Speaker 5: In the months that followed, she gushed over the pills

413
00:21:42,800 --> 00:21:47,760
Speaker 5: to her thousands of followers. For a time, she belonged

414
00:21:47,800 --> 00:21:50,680
Speaker 5: to a social media movement that's given antidepressants a makeover

415
00:21:50,760 --> 00:21:54,920
Speaker 5: from a stigmatized medicine to a healthy lifestyle accessory, friend

416
00:21:55,000 --> 00:21:57,119
Speaker 5: lightened and empowered young women.

417
00:21:57,240 --> 00:21:59,280
Speaker 4: When did it get stigmatized? I must have missed that

418
00:21:59,359 --> 00:22:02,960
Speaker 4: because zillions of Americans are on it. Yeah, well it's

419
00:22:02,960 --> 00:22:05,400
Speaker 4: gotten less stigmatized. But here's my favorite part.

420
00:22:05,960 --> 00:22:09,800
Speaker 5: Millennial and Gen Z influencers, some paid by telehealth companies,

421
00:22:10,040 --> 00:22:17,680
Speaker 5: evangelize antidepressants on TikTok and Instagram using hashtags like live laugh, lexapro, lexapro,

422
00:22:17,840 --> 00:22:23,520
Speaker 5: girly lexa ho, and zooft gang lexeho. I know, recasting

423
00:22:23,520 --> 00:22:28,880
Speaker 5: the medications as pop culture touchstones and on TikTok hashtag

424
00:22:28,920 --> 00:22:33,600
Speaker 5: antidepressants has surpassed one point three billion views, etc. Then

425
00:22:33,640 --> 00:22:38,120
Speaker 5: they go into this list of you know, attractive young

426
00:22:38,160 --> 00:22:41,560
Speaker 5: women and Stato moms that tout the benefits of the

427
00:22:41,600 --> 00:22:44,040
Speaker 5: medicine and get thousands of followers and talk thousands of

428
00:22:44,080 --> 00:22:47,520
Speaker 5: people into doing it, who they then give them up

429
00:22:47,600 --> 00:22:50,720
Speaker 5: and wean themselves off because it makes them miserable and

430
00:22:50,840 --> 00:22:54,600
Speaker 5: ruins their lives. But they do that pretty quickly or

431
00:22:54,720 --> 00:22:58,040
Speaker 5: quit it pretty quietly, rather and the videos of hey,

432
00:22:58,160 --> 00:23:01,399
Speaker 5: here's my actual long term experience, those don't get nearly

433
00:23:01,400 --> 00:23:01,840
Speaker 5: as many of you.

434
00:23:02,119 --> 00:23:02,720
Speaker 3: I'm sure, that's sure.

435
00:23:02,760 --> 00:23:05,720
Speaker 4: I know plenty of people that are on SSRIs who

436
00:23:05,720 --> 00:23:07,280
Speaker 4: swear by them and are happy with them. But if

437
00:23:07,320 --> 00:23:10,760
Speaker 4: you are put on them or go on them and

438
00:23:10,800 --> 00:23:14,000
Speaker 4: you don't need it, I guess it makes you really

439
00:23:14,119 --> 00:23:18,480
Speaker 4: flat and life feels quite unpleasant.

440
00:23:18,240 --> 00:23:22,600
Speaker 5: Right, crushes your libido, weight gain, et cetera. Just yeah,

441
00:23:22,680 --> 00:23:26,800
Speaker 5: everything is kind of flattened. So anyway, I just thought, again,

442
00:23:27,160 --> 00:23:33,880
Speaker 5: this is the the democratization of ideas, where an idea

443
00:23:33,960 --> 00:23:37,159
Speaker 5: can reach millions of people worldwide, when if it was

444
00:23:37,240 --> 00:23:41,000
Speaker 5: just happening in your town, the person you know selling

445
00:23:41,000 --> 00:23:42,760
Speaker 5: it would be told over and over again that's a

446
00:23:42,800 --> 00:23:47,600
Speaker 5: bad idea, and probably let it drop. And on a

447
00:23:47,640 --> 00:23:50,960
Speaker 5: similar topic, I found this really really interesting. Who did

448
00:23:51,000 --> 00:24:00,439
Speaker 5: this twenty twenty four Presidential Election Study BIG Survey, mental

449
00:24:00,440 --> 00:24:03,080
Speaker 5: health challenges are an important part of.

450
00:24:02,960 --> 00:24:05,040
Speaker 3: My identity.

451
00:24:07,160 --> 00:24:14,720
Speaker 5: Among boomer males, UH, seventy three percent of them essentially said,

452
00:24:15,960 --> 00:24:19,080
Speaker 5: no matter what psychological challenges I face, I will not

453
00:24:19,240 --> 00:24:20,280
Speaker 5: let them define me.

454
00:24:20,960 --> 00:24:24,200
Speaker 3: Right. That used to be a feeling for most people

455
00:24:24,320 --> 00:24:24,680
Speaker 3: is like.

456
00:24:26,200 --> 00:24:30,000
Speaker 4: You, you would not allow yourself to believe you have

457
00:24:30,040 --> 00:24:32,359
Speaker 4: any of those things. And then even if it were true, proven,

458
00:24:32,400 --> 00:24:35,879
Speaker 4: you'd want to kind of keep it on the down

459
00:24:35,920 --> 00:24:38,480
Speaker 4: low because he didn't want it to be your thing.

460
00:24:39,320 --> 00:24:44,199
Speaker 5: Well, and I wouldn't want people to look at me

461
00:24:44,280 --> 00:24:46,920
Speaker 5: and say, oh, there's Joe he has anxiety.

462
00:24:47,200 --> 00:24:49,800
Speaker 3: Right, I mean, I know there's.

463
00:24:49,400 --> 00:24:52,480
Speaker 5: A dozen things, maybe fifty things I'd rather have you say,

464
00:24:53,480 --> 00:24:56,800
Speaker 5: And there's Joey's nahole. I mean, for instance, it's better

465
00:24:56,920 --> 00:24:58,200
Speaker 5: anyway Joe man.

466
00:24:58,280 --> 00:24:59,159
Speaker 3: Can he dance?

467
00:25:00,080 --> 00:25:00,119
Speaker 1: So?

468
00:25:00,680 --> 00:25:02,760
Speaker 3: Please? Like a stare? Please?

469
00:25:03,600 --> 00:25:06,520
Speaker 5: So, Seventy three percent of boomer males essentially said, no

470
00:25:06,560 --> 00:25:08,960
Speaker 5: matter what psychological challenges I face, I will not let

471
00:25:08,960 --> 00:25:13,399
Speaker 5: them define me. Seventy two percent of gen Z females

472
00:25:13,600 --> 00:25:17,399
Speaker 5: said essentially, mental illness is an important part of my identity.

473
00:25:18,720 --> 00:25:23,320
Speaker 5: Seventy two percent said mental health challenges are an important

474
00:25:23,320 --> 00:25:24,480
Speaker 5: part of my identity.

475
00:25:24,840 --> 00:25:28,800
Speaker 4: Yeah, that has been my experience in a variety of

476
00:25:28,840 --> 00:25:34,840
Speaker 4: ways with that generation in hiring for sitters in a

477
00:25:34,920 --> 00:25:38,320
Speaker 4: variety of different things, is everybody explains really early on

478
00:25:38,400 --> 00:25:41,399
Speaker 4: what they're I have anxiety, so I have to do this,

479
00:25:41,520 --> 00:25:44,240
Speaker 4: or I've OCD or whatever.

480
00:25:43,920 --> 00:25:46,000
Speaker 3: It is, right right?

481
00:25:47,640 --> 00:25:50,760
Speaker 5: Both gen Z men and women view their mental health

482
00:25:50,800 --> 00:25:52,880
Speaker 5: as an important part of their identity at a rate

483
00:25:52,960 --> 00:25:55,679
Speaker 5: over five times that of boomers.

484
00:25:55,720 --> 00:25:56,280
Speaker 3: For instance.

485
00:25:56,480 --> 00:26:01,320
Speaker 4: Well, unless you're older and you grew up in that culture,

486
00:26:03,240 --> 00:26:04,680
Speaker 4: how are you ever going to go through a rough

487
00:26:04,720 --> 00:26:07,520
Speaker 4: patch in your life now where you wouldn't take some

488
00:26:07,520 --> 00:26:09,199
Speaker 4: sort of drug for it, Because I mean, all your

489
00:26:09,200 --> 00:26:09,840
Speaker 4: friends are.

490
00:26:10,560 --> 00:26:13,000
Speaker 3: And rough patches. I've had rough patches that lasted a

491
00:26:13,040 --> 00:26:14,680
Speaker 3: freaking long time. I'll tell you that.

492
00:26:15,040 --> 00:26:18,760
Speaker 4: Sometimes they do, oh yeah, sometimes my own decisions.

493
00:26:19,200 --> 00:26:22,840
Speaker 5: I've witnessed young women bonding over their mental health challenges.

494
00:26:24,240 --> 00:26:28,480
Speaker 5: It's part of the whole, you know, lionization of the

495
00:26:28,560 --> 00:26:32,919
Speaker 5: victim victim culture in essence, and it's supported online in

496
00:26:32,920 --> 00:26:34,800
Speaker 5: a lot of ways that are really really interesting.

497
00:26:35,160 --> 00:26:37,480
Speaker 4: Maybe that would be a lesson that they teach more

498
00:26:37,520 --> 00:26:40,840
Speaker 4: people as you might go through not might you will

499
00:26:40,880 --> 00:26:43,280
Speaker 4: go through many periods of your life where there are

500
00:26:43,320 --> 00:26:46,880
Speaker 4: weeks or months or maybe half a year where you're

501
00:26:46,960 --> 00:26:50,800
Speaker 4: really down because this or that happened, And then you'll

502
00:26:50,800 --> 00:26:52,760
Speaker 4: come out of it, right.

503
00:26:52,480 --> 00:26:54,639
Speaker 5: But I'll feel like I don't know what the point

504
00:26:54,680 --> 00:26:57,280
Speaker 5: is because you're on a journey to discovering what the

505
00:26:57,320 --> 00:27:00,400
Speaker 5: point is, and sometimes that takes a long time. That's

506
00:27:00,440 --> 00:27:04,360
Speaker 5: not mental illness, that's life. Yeah, but I think it's

507
00:27:04,560 --> 00:27:07,920
Speaker 5: worth going back to the previous article that was pointing

508
00:27:07,960 --> 00:27:10,800
Speaker 5: out that a lot of these people are sponsored by

509
00:27:10,840 --> 00:27:14,840
Speaker 5: the people selling the pills, of course, Yeah, but they

510
00:27:14,920 --> 00:27:18,160
Speaker 5: dress it up in like, there's this one influencer, what's

511
00:27:18,160 --> 00:27:22,160
Speaker 5: her name, cute chick, you know, dressed kind of sexy,

512
00:27:22,560 --> 00:27:29,000
Speaker 5: she's funny, she's wacky. Elena Davis, thirty five year old influencer,

513
00:27:29,040 --> 00:27:31,680
Speaker 5: made this video in twenty twenty three of her dress

514
00:27:31,800 --> 00:27:34,359
Speaker 5: like she's going out to the club, laughing and taking

515
00:27:34,359 --> 00:27:37,600
Speaker 5: her pills and making a big deal of how great

516
00:27:37,600 --> 00:27:41,200
Speaker 5: it is. She weaned herself completely off them a couple

517
00:27:41,240 --> 00:27:47,560
Speaker 5: of years later because they essentially screwed up her life. Yeah,

518
00:27:47,640 --> 00:27:50,040
Speaker 5: good lord, the internet is a bad place to be.

519
00:27:50,200 --> 00:27:50,760
Speaker 5: Did plug it?

520
00:27:50,840 --> 00:27:52,800
Speaker 3: Did the laws change around medicine?

521
00:27:52,840 --> 00:27:55,760
Speaker 4: Somewhere where these doctors that have never met you can

522
00:27:55,960 --> 00:27:57,200
Speaker 4: prescribe you things that you.

523
00:27:57,200 --> 00:27:58,320
Speaker 3: Used to have to go see here.

524
00:27:58,960 --> 00:27:59,280
Speaker 1: Yeah.

525
00:27:59,400 --> 00:28:03,640
Speaker 3: Yeah, there's been kind of an evolution through the de evolution, because.

526
00:28:03,400 --> 00:28:05,159
Speaker 4: There's all kinds of drugs you can get on just

527
00:28:05,200 --> 00:28:08,440
Speaker 4: by basically you just pay for them and you check

528
00:28:08,480 --> 00:28:11,000
Speaker 4: some boxes on a form and they say, sure, we'll

529
00:28:11,040 --> 00:28:11,960
Speaker 4: send them to you.

530
00:28:11,960 --> 00:28:14,520
Speaker 5: You've never met me, you haven't taken any blood work.

531
00:28:15,400 --> 00:28:17,560
Speaker 5: That reminds me I gotta pop my daily viagra. I

532
00:28:17,640 --> 00:28:20,320
Speaker 5: like to be ready, you know, like the boy scouts say,

533
00:28:20,359 --> 00:28:20,920
Speaker 5: be prepared.

534
00:28:21,000 --> 00:28:22,600
Speaker 3: Huh, well, that's interesting.

535
00:28:23,560 --> 00:28:34,679
Speaker 2: Arm the armstrong and getting shot coming up in a moment.

536
00:28:35,640 --> 00:28:39,440
Speaker 5: Breathing through our butts has been declared safe after the

537
00:28:39,480 --> 00:28:44,000
Speaker 5: first human trial. I'm not laughing, I'm coughing actually a

538
00:28:44,040 --> 00:28:46,160
Speaker 5: little both. There was a human trial.

539
00:28:47,920 --> 00:28:51,840
Speaker 4: Yes, can if I like, if I squeeze really hard,

540
00:28:51,840 --> 00:28:52,880
Speaker 4: can I breathe through.

541
00:28:52,720 --> 00:28:56,320
Speaker 5: My You try hard enough? That's right, everybody try No.

542
00:28:56,960 --> 00:28:59,640
Speaker 5: I'll explain a minute or two. I found this really interesting.

543
00:28:59,640 --> 00:29:01,760
Speaker 5: I'm aware of exhaling that way. A lot of people

544
00:29:01,800 --> 00:29:05,240
Speaker 5: do that and they shouldn't. This is from the Times

545
00:29:05,280 --> 00:29:10,200
Speaker 5: of London. Female spies are waging sex warfare to steal

546
00:29:10,240 --> 00:29:14,240
Speaker 5: Silicon Valley secrets. China and Russia are both sending attractive

547
00:29:14,240 --> 00:29:18,640
Speaker 5: women to seduce tech workers, even marrying and having children

548
00:29:18,720 --> 00:29:22,880
Speaker 5: with their targets in a desperate attempt to get ahead

549
00:29:22,920 --> 00:29:25,680
Speaker 5: and stay ahead Tech and AI.

550
00:29:26,360 --> 00:29:28,240
Speaker 4: You're not a sex worker. If you actually married them

551
00:29:28,280 --> 00:29:30,520
Speaker 4: and have children, you're a I don't know what you are.

552
00:29:30,920 --> 00:29:35,280
Speaker 5: You're spy. Yeah, oh yeah, nobody's calling them sex workers.

553
00:29:35,440 --> 00:29:42,640
Speaker 5: They're spies. Chinese and Russian operatives are using sex warfare

554
00:29:42,680 --> 00:29:47,240
Speaker 5: to seduce and spy on Silicon Valley professionals. James Mulvanan,

555
00:29:47,360 --> 00:29:51,760
Speaker 5: the chief intelligence officer of amer Consulting, which provides risk

556
00:29:52,120 --> 00:29:55,640
Speaker 5: assessments for American companies investing in China, said he was

557
00:29:55,760 --> 00:29:58,560
Speaker 5: one of the many men recently targeted by Fordes seductrisses

558
00:29:58,560 --> 00:30:00,360
Speaker 5: hoping to gain access to USC rits.

559
00:30:00,720 --> 00:30:01,000
Speaker 3: Quote.

560
00:30:01,000 --> 00:30:04,600
Speaker 5: I'm getting an enormous number of very sophisticated LinkedIn requests

561
00:30:04,720 --> 00:30:07,120
Speaker 5: from the same type of attractive young Chinese women. It

562
00:30:07,120 --> 00:30:12,600
Speaker 5: seems to have really ramped up recently, he described at

563
00:30:11,960 --> 00:30:16,800
Speaker 5: how At a business conference on Chinese investment risks hosted

564
00:30:17,000 --> 00:30:21,520
Speaker 5: in Virginia last week, two attractive Chinese women showed up

565
00:30:21,560 --> 00:30:24,320
Speaker 5: and attempted to gain entry. We didn't let them in,

566
00:30:24,320 --> 00:30:26,080
Speaker 5: but they had all the information about the event and

567
00:30:26,120 --> 00:30:28,800
Speaker 5: everything else. He said, it's a phenomenon. And now I

568
00:30:28,840 --> 00:30:30,440
Speaker 5: will tell you it's really weird.

569
00:30:30,480 --> 00:30:30,720
Speaker 3: Wow.

570
00:30:30,800 --> 00:30:33,560
Speaker 4: That is a heck of a commitment to your country

571
00:30:34,440 --> 00:30:38,080
Speaker 4: that you're going to meet a guy, woo him, marry him,

572
00:30:38,520 --> 00:30:42,680
Speaker 4: have kids with him. I mean, that's really caring about

573
00:30:42,680 --> 00:30:44,840
Speaker 4: your Wow.

574
00:30:45,600 --> 00:30:49,360
Speaker 3: Or you're well, you're in the spy service.

575
00:30:51,920 --> 00:30:56,440
Speaker 5: I've read various autobiographies of both men and women who

576
00:30:56,440 --> 00:30:58,800
Speaker 5: are in the KGB and how you get recruited young

577
00:30:58,880 --> 00:31:00,400
Speaker 5: and your strange that.

578
00:31:01,120 --> 00:31:04,680
Speaker 4: The all day, every day of raising a kid. If

579
00:31:04,720 --> 00:31:06,480
Speaker 4: you've done it, it's a lot of work. It's your

580
00:31:06,520 --> 00:31:09,440
Speaker 4: whole life. I mean, you're doing all that as part

581
00:31:09,440 --> 00:31:10,520
Speaker 4: of your being a spy.

582
00:31:10,600 --> 00:31:10,920
Speaker 3: Wow.

583
00:31:11,640 --> 00:31:17,080
Speaker 5: Right, let's see. Oh here's the interesting part. And I've

584
00:31:17,120 --> 00:31:19,440
Speaker 5: been trying to tell you this for a long time.

585
00:31:19,480 --> 00:31:24,600
Speaker 5: Both Russia and the CCP are using ordinary citizens, investors, cryptoanalysts, businessmen,

586
00:31:24,720 --> 00:31:28,800
Speaker 5: academics to target their American counterparts rather than trained agents,

587
00:31:29,000 --> 00:31:32,040
Speaker 5: which makes the esponars harder to spot. Quote, we're not

588
00:31:32,160 --> 00:31:35,680
Speaker 5: chasing a KGB agent in a smoky guesthouse in Germany anymore,

589
00:31:35,840 --> 00:31:38,040
Speaker 5: said one senior US counter intelligence official.

590
00:31:38,240 --> 00:31:38,560
Speaker 3: Quote.

591
00:31:38,560 --> 00:31:41,440
Speaker 5: Our adversaries, particularly the Chinese, are using a whole of

592
00:31:41,480 --> 00:31:45,040
Speaker 5: society approach to exploit all aspects of our technology and

593
00:31:45,120 --> 00:31:45,920
Speaker 5: Western talent.

594
00:31:46,360 --> 00:31:49,200
Speaker 3: Can you imagine you find out your wife and mother

595
00:31:49,320 --> 00:31:52,240
Speaker 3: of your two kids, you've been married for ten years,

596
00:31:53,760 --> 00:31:57,360
Speaker 3: only did it to spy for the Communists? Yeah? I know, boy,

597
00:31:57,400 --> 00:32:00,800
Speaker 3: would that be rock your world show attering? Yeah.

598
00:32:00,920 --> 00:32:02,920
Speaker 5: I want to get to the breathing through your butt

599
00:32:02,960 --> 00:32:04,800
Speaker 5: thing in a bit, but you don't have time because.

600
00:32:04,600 --> 00:32:05,680
Speaker 3: I want to wrap this up.

601
00:32:06,320 --> 00:32:12,080
Speaker 5: Yeah, anyway, what was I going to say? And we'll

602
00:32:12,120 --> 00:32:15,440
Speaker 5: not with that attitude, you can't. I've told this story

603
00:32:15,480 --> 00:32:17,400
Speaker 5: many times, but it's worth retelling it. It was about

604
00:32:17,440 --> 00:32:21,000
Speaker 5: a decade ago that the FBI went to a particular

605
00:32:21,120 --> 00:32:25,719
Speaker 5: large California university and their counterintelligence folks warned the president

606
00:32:25,760 --> 00:32:28,080
Speaker 5: of the university, you have a lot of Chinese agents

607
00:32:28,120 --> 00:32:31,720
Speaker 5: on your campus masquerading as researchers. And they were told, quote,

608
00:32:31,760 --> 00:32:37,880
Speaker 5: get off my campus, you racists. There are thousands, tens

609
00:32:37,920 --> 00:32:40,880
Speaker 5: of thousands Chinese nationals in the United States right now

610
00:32:40,960 --> 00:32:43,440
Speaker 5: doing the work of the Communist Party. Spending all day,

611
00:32:43,560 --> 00:32:45,960
Speaker 5: every day doing the work of the Communist Party. I

612
00:32:46,040 --> 00:32:48,320
Speaker 5: stand by those words. Ah so a couple of notes

613
00:32:48,360 --> 00:32:52,200
Speaker 5: on Haavid supposedly the world's greatest university, which has beclowned

614
00:32:52,240 --> 00:32:55,120
Speaker 5: itself completely. I thought this was interesting. And Harvard PhD

615
00:32:55,200 --> 00:32:59,600
Speaker 5: programs are collapsing amidst amid budget woes, Faculty of Arts

616
00:32:59,640 --> 00:33:02,680
Speaker 5: and Science and says just to slash the number of

617
00:33:02,680 --> 00:33:06,280
Speaker 5: PhD student admissions by more seventy five percent in the

618
00:33:06,320 --> 00:33:09,640
Speaker 5: Science division and sixty percent in the Arts and Humanities

619
00:33:09,680 --> 00:33:11,000
Speaker 5: division in the past two years.

620
00:33:12,440 --> 00:33:15,800
Speaker 4: How much does the world need more PhDs in most areas?

621
00:33:16,440 --> 00:33:16,600
Speaker 3: You know?

622
00:33:16,720 --> 00:33:20,080
Speaker 5: Quoting Nelly Bowls again, the PhD racket has always been

623
00:33:20,080 --> 00:33:23,080
Speaker 5: a weird one. These schools push their smartest, most annoyingly

624
00:33:23,120 --> 00:33:26,320
Speaker 5: ambitious kids to get a PhD. During that PhD, the

625
00:33:26,320 --> 00:33:28,360
Speaker 5: guys do all the work of being a paid professor,

626
00:33:28,440 --> 00:33:31,320
Speaker 5: teaching courses, grading papers, but they're paid next to nothing.

627
00:33:31,600 --> 00:33:33,160
Speaker 5: Then the clincher is that at the end there are

628
00:33:33,160 --> 00:33:36,400
Speaker 5: no jobs available, maybe one English Department job in Idaho

629
00:33:36,440 --> 00:33:38,680
Speaker 5: for a group of three hundred to battle to the

630
00:33:38,760 --> 00:33:41,320
Speaker 5: death over. So I support this belt tightening.

631
00:33:41,360 --> 00:33:41,800
Speaker 3: We will have.

632
00:33:41,760 --> 00:33:45,400
Speaker 5: About five thousand fewer Antifa soldiers produced each year. They

633
00:33:45,480 --> 00:33:49,320
Speaker 5: might even spend their twenties making money. Love that well,

634
00:33:49,400 --> 00:33:54,040
Speaker 5: said Nelly, speaking of Havid. They say they the university

635
00:33:54,200 --> 00:33:57,040
Speaker 5: won't say whether they will sanction. A dean who defended

636
00:33:57,120 --> 00:34:01,440
Speaker 5: rioting and looting as legitimate parts of democracy, described whiteness

637
00:34:01,480 --> 00:34:07,400
Speaker 5: as a self described self destructive ideology, celebrated Charlie Kirk's death,

638
00:34:07,640 --> 00:34:11,879
Speaker 5: said it was acceptable to wish death on Donald Trump, etc.

639
00:34:12,239 --> 00:34:12,560
Speaker 4: Etc.

640
00:34:14,400 --> 00:34:18,920
Speaker 3: This guy is unbelievable. What's my favorite?

641
00:34:19,520 --> 00:34:21,840
Speaker 5: In the following the death of George Floyd, he tweeted,

642
00:34:22,040 --> 00:34:24,840
Speaker 5: rioting and looting our parts of democracy, just like voting

643
00:34:24,960 --> 00:34:28,600
Speaker 5: in Marching Wow. A month before he got his gig.

644
00:34:28,760 --> 00:34:31,600
Speaker 5: Last year, he posted on Instagram that people should love

645
00:34:31,640 --> 00:34:35,200
Speaker 5: each other and hate the police. Describe whiteness as a

646
00:34:35,200 --> 00:34:38,320
Speaker 5: self destructive ideology that annihilates everyone around it, like in

647
00:34:38,400 --> 00:34:40,919
Speaker 5: Trump to Adolf Hitler then appeared to celebrate the death

648
00:34:40,960 --> 00:34:45,440
Speaker 5: of Rush Limbaugh, et cetera. Harvard has no comments on it,

649
00:34:45,760 --> 00:34:51,640
Speaker 5: and the communist himself, Gregory Davis is his name, said

650
00:34:52,560 --> 00:34:55,360
Speaker 5: those posts do not reflect my current thinking or beliefs.

651
00:34:56,960 --> 00:34:57,560
Speaker 3: One of them was.

652
00:34:57,640 --> 00:35:03,120
Speaker 5: Last year, Oh, I'm a kid Marxists sly, they lie,

653
00:35:03,200 --> 00:35:06,040
Speaker 5: and they lie and they lie. And then Fox New

654
00:35:06,080 --> 00:35:09,560
Speaker 5: has had a panel with conservative Harvard students that was

655
00:35:09,680 --> 00:35:12,080
Speaker 5: really interesting. Maybe we could find some of the audio

656
00:35:12,719 --> 00:35:15,320
Speaker 5: for it. But they're speaking out about what it's really

657
00:35:15,480 --> 00:35:19,960
Speaker 5: like on campus right now, where the university has said, no,

658
00:35:20,000 --> 00:35:22,120
Speaker 5: we're going to be fair, but in practice they're not,

659
00:35:23,239 --> 00:35:25,360
Speaker 5: said one quote. A good example of this would be

660
00:35:25,400 --> 00:35:27,960
Speaker 5: like something like the university is very strict on not

661
00:35:28,200 --> 00:35:31,080
Speaker 5: co sponsoring events with outside groups when it comes to

662
00:35:31,120 --> 00:35:33,640
Speaker 5: the Republican Club, let's say, putting on events. But the

663
00:35:33,680 --> 00:35:36,480
Speaker 5: Democrats get away with that all the time, no questions asked,

664
00:35:37,280 --> 00:35:40,280
Speaker 5: and the students described what they believed to be selective

665
00:35:40,360 --> 00:35:41,920
Speaker 5: enforcement of various campus rules.

666
00:35:41,960 --> 00:35:42,400
Speaker 3: Quote.

667
00:35:42,520 --> 00:35:44,839
Speaker 5: There have been other things like the Republican Club puts

668
00:35:44,840 --> 00:35:46,600
Speaker 5: on a big event and they send a bunch of

669
00:35:46,680 --> 00:35:51,600
Speaker 5: administrators to really enforce fire code rules, making sure the

670
00:35:51,640 --> 00:35:54,600
Speaker 5: audience is sitting properly in their seats, whereas Democrats can

671
00:35:54,640 --> 00:35:57,000
Speaker 5: host events, the whole place can be jammed pack and

672
00:35:57,040 --> 00:36:00,160
Speaker 5: there's no concern whatsoever. That's the opposite of way to

673
00:36:00,239 --> 00:36:02,520
Speaker 5: university ought to be polar opposite to it.

674
00:36:03,560 --> 00:36:09,640
