1 00:00:11,697 --> 00:00:14,937 Speaker 1: You're listening to the Fuck Sexton Show podcast, make sure 2 00:00:14,977 --> 00:00:17,977 Speaker 1: you subscribe to the podcast on the iHeartRadio app or 3 00:00:18,017 --> 00:00:21,857 Speaker 1: wherever you get your podcasts. So, Australia has banned kids 4 00:00:21,937 --> 00:00:25,497 Speaker 1: under sixteen from social media. Parents all over America are 5 00:00:25,497 --> 00:00:27,537 Speaker 1: looking at this saying, maybe we should do this here, 6 00:00:27,697 --> 00:00:30,297 Speaker 1: or maybe not. Lydia moynihan joins us now she's a 7 00:00:30,337 --> 00:00:35,577 Speaker 1: New York Post correspondent. Lydia dive into this situation because 8 00:00:36,097 --> 00:00:39,057 Speaker 1: number one story on Fox News Today's I'm Speaking to 9 00:00:39,057 --> 00:00:42,897 Speaker 1: You like the banner. The headline story is Australia's social 10 00:00:42,937 --> 00:00:45,217 Speaker 1: media ban because parents are fired up. 11 00:00:46,537 --> 00:00:50,097 Speaker 2: Australia has poisonous spiders, they have too many sharks. I 12 00:00:50,097 --> 00:00:52,577 Speaker 2: think in that regard it's a difficult place to live. 13 00:00:52,657 --> 00:00:54,297 Speaker 2: But when it comes to the social media ban, I 14 00:00:54,337 --> 00:00:56,417 Speaker 2: think they got this one hundred percent right, and I 15 00:00:56,417 --> 00:01:01,257 Speaker 2: think this is actually one government interference, one government rule 16 00:01:01,257 --> 00:01:05,537 Speaker 2: that is actually very beneficial for society. Because tech companies 17 00:01:05,577 --> 00:01:08,537 Speaker 2: are making so much money off children, they have no 18 00:01:08,697 --> 00:01:12,457 Speaker 2: incentive to say, oh, you should probably have your children 19 00:01:12,537 --> 00:01:14,577 Speaker 2: be on their cell phone and on the internet less. 20 00:01:15,217 --> 00:01:17,057 Speaker 2: It's interesting there was a couple years ago this big 21 00:01:17,097 --> 00:01:19,457 Speaker 2: documentary that came out, and a lot of people in 22 00:01:19,497 --> 00:01:22,337 Speaker 2: tech were saying, oh, yeah, with my own kids, I'm. 23 00:01:22,137 --> 00:01:23,657 Speaker 3: Not going to let them on social media. I'm not 24 00:01:23,657 --> 00:01:24,657 Speaker 3: going to give them a phone. 25 00:01:25,097 --> 00:01:29,297 Speaker 2: But these companies are worth sometimes trillion plus dollars. They're 26 00:01:29,337 --> 00:01:32,417 Speaker 2: not going to want to rain in kids being on 27 00:01:32,817 --> 00:01:35,617 Speaker 2: their phones on the apps. And for parents, it's really 28 00:01:35,657 --> 00:01:37,857 Speaker 2: tough because you don't want to be that one parent 29 00:01:38,257 --> 00:01:41,657 Speaker 2: who feels like every other child is allowed on social 30 00:01:41,737 --> 00:01:43,817 Speaker 2: media except for yours. You don't want your child to 31 00:01:43,817 --> 00:01:46,977 Speaker 2: be developmentally delayed because of that. And so I think 32 00:01:47,017 --> 00:01:50,537 Speaker 2: this kind of sets a tone that is ultimately going 33 00:01:50,617 --> 00:01:52,897 Speaker 2: to be so much more beneficial from society. I mean 34 00:01:53,337 --> 00:01:54,937 Speaker 2: kind of as an adult, I actually wish there was 35 00:01:54,977 --> 00:01:57,017 Speaker 2: a law that, like, I could only spend so much 36 00:01:57,057 --> 00:01:58,777 Speaker 2: time on my phone. I think that would be good 37 00:01:58,777 --> 00:02:01,857 Speaker 2: for me. Most of us don't have the discipline. Kids 38 00:02:01,977 --> 00:02:04,777 Speaker 2: definitely do not. Their brains aren't even fully developed. So 39 00:02:04,817 --> 00:02:07,697 Speaker 2: the idea that the government would get involved and set 40 00:02:07,737 --> 00:02:10,537 Speaker 2: the tone, and bear in mind too, this isn't this 41 00:02:10,617 --> 00:02:12,937 Speaker 2: isn't a draconian law, like they're not going to arrest 42 00:02:12,977 --> 00:02:16,057 Speaker 2: people if they're not, you know, abiding by this law. 43 00:02:16,177 --> 00:02:18,177 Speaker 3: You can kind of get around it. But what I 44 00:02:18,177 --> 00:02:18,737 Speaker 3: think it. 45 00:02:18,657 --> 00:02:21,617 Speaker 2: Does do is sort of set a new societal norm 46 00:02:22,097 --> 00:02:26,897 Speaker 2: that children should be running around outside and drawing and 47 00:02:26,937 --> 00:02:30,377 Speaker 2: writing in their diary and doing whatever kids do, not 48 00:02:30,857 --> 00:02:34,257 Speaker 2: getting addicted to something that's like, frankly, almost as addictive 49 00:02:34,297 --> 00:02:36,937 Speaker 2: as opium or cocaine or any other drug. 50 00:02:37,177 --> 00:02:39,137 Speaker 3: Why. I just I think it's I think it makes 51 00:02:39,177 --> 00:02:39,777 Speaker 3: a lot of sense. 52 00:02:40,137 --> 00:02:42,457 Speaker 1: It's interesting because I came up against a little bit 53 00:02:42,497 --> 00:02:45,577 Speaker 1: of the government regulation, like people shout these things to 54 00:02:45,577 --> 00:02:48,697 Speaker 1: which I have to sometimes because I am of the 55 00:02:48,697 --> 00:02:50,937 Speaker 1: point of view that this makes a lot of sense. 56 00:02:51,817 --> 00:02:54,337 Speaker 1: I also think that what you've seen in some states 57 00:02:54,377 --> 00:02:59,617 Speaker 1: like Tennessee where they have the eighteen verification now for 58 00:02:59,737 --> 00:03:03,337 Speaker 1: being able to view adult material, and how that they've 59 00:03:03,377 --> 00:03:05,857 Speaker 1: been able to implement that, and sure enough it has 60 00:03:05,977 --> 00:03:10,497 Speaker 1: changed some of the Internet habits going on to the 61 00:03:10,497 --> 00:03:12,497 Speaker 1: state of Tennessee. I think. For another, I think in 62 00:03:12,537 --> 00:03:14,417 Speaker 1: part because you have kids that aren't being able to 63 00:03:14,457 --> 00:03:16,377 Speaker 1: access this, which is good, but also adults are like 64 00:03:16,657 --> 00:03:19,337 Speaker 1: I don't think I want to put my driver's license 65 00:03:19,617 --> 00:03:22,457 Speaker 1: on some database of hey, I look at porn. So 66 00:03:22,657 --> 00:03:27,857 Speaker 1: that's changing behaviors really fast. But there are all these 67 00:03:28,017 --> 00:03:31,577 Speaker 1: areas of the law where particularly for minors, for people 68 00:03:31,617 --> 00:03:35,617 Speaker 1: who are not yet legally adults, the state steps in 69 00:03:35,817 --> 00:03:39,257 Speaker 1: and tries to protect them. And you see this on 70 00:03:39,297 --> 00:03:43,377 Speaker 1: the social media stuff on safety issues alone, so many 71 00:03:44,097 --> 00:03:48,617 Speaker 1: of these of these online predators and these extortion gangs 72 00:03:48,617 --> 00:03:51,417 Speaker 1: that operate even overseas targeting kids. Here, all this stuff 73 00:03:51,457 --> 00:03:54,537 Speaker 1: going on, I think there need to be special protections 74 00:03:54,537 --> 00:03:56,617 Speaker 1: in place. I don't think this is excessive regulation. I 75 00:03:56,617 --> 00:03:57,937 Speaker 1: think it's necessary regulation. 76 00:03:58,937 --> 00:04:01,337 Speaker 2: No, I mean we regulate all kinds of things for 77 00:04:01,417 --> 00:04:04,377 Speaker 2: kids because have to go to school, kids have to well, 78 00:04:04,377 --> 00:04:06,497 Speaker 2: they can't drink, they can't vote, they can't drive until 79 00:04:06,497 --> 00:04:09,257 Speaker 2: a certain age. Like to me, this is probably one 80 00:04:09,417 --> 00:04:12,177 Speaker 2: example of sort of like meeting a nanny state, because 81 00:04:12,177 --> 00:04:14,497 Speaker 2: again I think a lot of parents have just abdicated 82 00:04:14,977 --> 00:04:19,817 Speaker 2: responsibility or just again can't withstand the pressure of their kids. 83 00:04:19,857 --> 00:04:22,577 Speaker 2: And also I'll note you know a lot of kids, 84 00:04:22,657 --> 00:04:25,417 Speaker 2: even if their parents have said, oh I don't want 85 00:04:25,457 --> 00:04:26,817 Speaker 2: you on this app or that app, or try and 86 00:04:26,857 --> 00:04:29,297 Speaker 2: limit your time, kids are smart, they can get around 87 00:04:29,297 --> 00:04:32,577 Speaker 2: it right now. So again, having one more layer where 88 00:04:32,817 --> 00:04:36,617 Speaker 2: children aren't is addicted to these apps, I think is 89 00:04:36,657 --> 00:04:38,777 Speaker 2: really good and I also just I don't know, I 90 00:04:39,097 --> 00:04:41,057 Speaker 2: feel for kids who are growing up in this day 91 00:04:41,097 --> 00:04:42,857 Speaker 2: and age because there's. 92 00:04:42,657 --> 00:04:45,057 Speaker 3: So much more bullying, there's so much more pressure. 93 00:04:45,537 --> 00:04:48,417 Speaker 2: And I think if this can in some way create 94 00:04:48,497 --> 00:04:51,297 Speaker 2: a little bit more of a childhood for some kids, 95 00:04:51,697 --> 00:04:53,337 Speaker 2: how wonderful is that? 96 00:04:53,737 --> 00:04:56,137 Speaker 3: Yeah? I mean, do you have kids you have come 97 00:04:56,217 --> 00:04:57,617 Speaker 3: up against this at all? Well? 98 00:04:57,617 --> 00:05:00,137 Speaker 1: I have an eight month old, so we're still trying 99 00:05:00,177 --> 00:05:02,657 Speaker 1: to get him to be able to, you know, hold 100 00:05:02,657 --> 00:05:05,257 Speaker 1: the sippy cup. So he's not yet using social media, 101 00:05:06,257 --> 00:05:08,857 Speaker 1: but he he is going to be. You know, my 102 00:05:08,897 --> 00:05:11,297 Speaker 1: co host or Radio Clay, he has three boys who 103 00:05:11,297 --> 00:05:17,137 Speaker 1: were all basically late you know, early or late stage teenagers, 104 00:05:17,177 --> 00:05:20,297 Speaker 1: and he didn't let them have phones until there are fourteen, 105 00:05:20,817 --> 00:05:23,977 Speaker 1: like you know, smartphones. I think that is is sound 106 00:05:24,097 --> 00:05:27,177 Speaker 1: policy and or you know, sound policy for parents. I 107 00:05:27,177 --> 00:05:29,057 Speaker 1: think that's good decision making. I do think that can 108 00:05:29,097 --> 00:05:30,777 Speaker 1: be left to parents, but I think that that's good 109 00:05:31,417 --> 00:05:34,857 Speaker 1: decision making. And on this one, I just think that 110 00:05:35,337 --> 00:05:39,337 Speaker 1: until you understand the way that people get habituated to 111 00:05:39,417 --> 00:05:41,937 Speaker 1: this social media and the risks that kids run. Also, 112 00:05:41,977 --> 00:05:45,177 Speaker 1: even just you mentioned bullying of the thing that peers, 113 00:05:45,537 --> 00:05:47,937 Speaker 1: peers will say and do and people can say really 114 00:05:48,057 --> 00:05:50,497 Speaker 1: dumb things online and then it's kind of just out 115 00:05:50,537 --> 00:05:53,257 Speaker 1: there for everybody, and they might get in trouble at school. 116 00:05:53,617 --> 00:05:56,497 Speaker 1: There's a lot of reasons why I am very grateful. 117 00:05:57,817 --> 00:06:00,337 Speaker 1: I am a bunch older than you, so I don't 118 00:06:00,337 --> 00:06:01,337 Speaker 1: even know if you have any of do what I'm 119 00:06:01,377 --> 00:06:03,977 Speaker 1: talking about. But there was a time when the only 120 00:06:04,057 --> 00:06:05,897 Speaker 1: thing you had to be worried about at like a 121 00:06:05,937 --> 00:06:07,977 Speaker 1: party when you were in college was if somebody had 122 00:06:07,977 --> 00:06:10,777 Speaker 1: one of those cameras that you had to uh had 123 00:06:10,817 --> 00:06:14,417 Speaker 1: a little fay twisted, like the little twisted or the 124 00:06:14,417 --> 00:06:18,537 Speaker 1: little like yeah, the little little polo. 125 00:06:18,337 --> 00:06:19,297 Speaker 3: Come back now, by the. 126 00:06:19,217 --> 00:06:21,937 Speaker 1: Way, No, but it's the uh. They were like disposable 127 00:06:21,937 --> 00:06:24,337 Speaker 1: cameras that was ever. It had these disposable cameras with 128 00:06:24,377 --> 00:06:26,577 Speaker 1: a little wheel and like you would hear it if 129 00:06:26,577 --> 00:06:28,617 Speaker 1: someone pulled one of those out of it was like whoa, okay, 130 00:06:28,777 --> 00:06:32,217 Speaker 1: like time to you know, time to behave But anyway, 131 00:06:32,497 --> 00:06:33,817 Speaker 1: I think that this is it. 132 00:06:35,217 --> 00:06:37,257 Speaker 2: I one more thing to add, yeah, because I feel 133 00:06:37,297 --> 00:06:39,697 Speaker 2: I feel very grateful that, Like I was kind of 134 00:06:39,697 --> 00:06:41,897 Speaker 2: growing up as social media was out and about, but 135 00:06:42,337 --> 00:06:44,177 Speaker 2: my parents were really strict and of course the time 136 00:06:44,377 --> 00:06:47,417 Speaker 2: it was really obnoxious and they wouldn't let me upload 137 00:06:47,417 --> 00:06:49,057 Speaker 2: a profile photo or whatever. And it turns out they 138 00:06:49,097 --> 00:06:51,457 Speaker 2: were like right about all of this. But one other 139 00:06:51,817 --> 00:06:53,777 Speaker 2: point that I'll make as well as in New York, 140 00:06:53,817 --> 00:06:56,457 Speaker 2: actually in LA and like, some of these very high 141 00:06:56,577 --> 00:07:01,337 Speaker 2: end private clubs actually have really strict policies about using 142 00:07:01,417 --> 00:07:04,577 Speaker 2: your phone. You get a little sticker placed on your 143 00:07:04,617 --> 00:07:05,257 Speaker 2: phone's camera. 144 00:07:05,577 --> 00:07:07,457 Speaker 3: And I think it's because people. 145 00:07:07,137 --> 00:07:09,737 Speaker 2: Realize, like they they miss the sort of elements of like, 146 00:07:09,897 --> 00:07:13,097 Speaker 2: how having interaction with people before we were living in 147 00:07:13,097 --> 00:07:16,937 Speaker 2: this iPhone world where everyone's on social media and capturing photos, 148 00:07:16,977 --> 00:07:20,137 Speaker 2: and so I think people like really want privacy, and 149 00:07:20,177 --> 00:07:21,737 Speaker 2: in the case of these private clubs, will pay a 150 00:07:21,777 --> 00:07:22,777 Speaker 2: lot of money to have it. 151 00:07:22,857 --> 00:07:25,857 Speaker 3: So it's just very interesting how we're so nostalgic for that. 152 00:07:25,897 --> 00:07:28,537 Speaker 2: And again, I just I feel so bad for these kids, 153 00:07:28,577 --> 00:07:31,737 Speaker 2: Like I don't have discipline right now as an adult. 154 00:07:32,537 --> 00:07:35,337 Speaker 2: No way that you can like set decent habits and 155 00:07:35,457 --> 00:07:36,977 Speaker 2: monitor yourself when you're twelve. 156 00:07:37,017 --> 00:07:38,617 Speaker 3: I mean that's just absolute. 157 00:07:38,857 --> 00:07:41,777 Speaker 1: Exactly do you feel do you feel judged when your 158 00:07:41,977 --> 00:07:44,177 Speaker 1: phone tells you how much screen time you've had that week? 159 00:07:44,217 --> 00:07:46,217 Speaker 1: Because I think I set I think I turned that off. 160 00:07:48,377 --> 00:07:51,657 Speaker 2: I The hard problem is that you know, in news, 161 00:07:51,737 --> 00:07:54,457 Speaker 2: you kind of always have to be abreast of what's 162 00:07:54,497 --> 00:07:58,657 Speaker 2: going on, and some of that is on X. So 163 00:07:59,577 --> 00:08:03,137 Speaker 2: I have this really bad habit where I justify being 164 00:08:03,177 --> 00:08:09,497 Speaker 2: on X as working, which is a little debatable, but yeah, 165 00:08:09,497 --> 00:08:11,617 Speaker 2: that's where most of ice fream time comes from. 166 00:08:11,657 --> 00:08:14,737 Speaker 3: But it is.

Like, yes, I see that you're 215 00:10:26,657 --> 00:10:30,297 Speaker 2: wearing camouflage, but like it just it doesn't I don't know. 216 00:10:30,337 --> 00:10:32,137 Speaker 2: I don't know what it is about him, but like 217 00:10:32,737 --> 00:10:34,217 Speaker 2: I feel like we could find out in a few 218 00:10:34,257 --> 00:10:38,257 Speaker 2: years ago that like he maybe isn't straight. I don't know, 219 00:10:38,297 --> 00:10:39,337 Speaker 2: I just got that vibe. 220 00:10:40,497 --> 00:10:43,897 Speaker 1: I don't know his his usage of jazz of jazz 221 00:10:43,977 --> 00:10:46,617 Speaker 1: hands a lot on the campaign trail, which I think 222 00:10:46,697 --> 00:10:48,977 Speaker 1: is you know, he was very he would sort of 223 00:10:49,017 --> 00:10:52,057 Speaker 1: do a little bit of fabulousness. Uh, this guy, mister 224 00:10:52,097 --> 00:10:54,337 Speaker 1: Tim Walls, but he still claims. 225 00:10:54,177 --> 00:10:56,537 Speaker 3: With crime on Broadway, Like, let's be real, he. 226 00:10:56,937 --> 00:11:00,537 Speaker 1: Still clings to this notion that we are in fact 227 00:11:00,617 --> 00:11:02,857 Speaker 1: terrified of his masculinity. But I do think that there's 228 00:11:03,137 --> 00:11:05,217 Speaker 1: a broader problem here. Tell me speak to it from 229 00:11:05,217 --> 00:11:08,697 Speaker 1: this perspective. Do you live You live in New York, right? 230 00:11:09,617 --> 00:11:11,257 Speaker 3: I live in Yeah? 231 00:11:11,337 --> 00:11:16,457 Speaker 1: So do you come across any guys are who are 232 00:11:16,497 --> 00:11:20,017 Speaker 1: you know in your age range who are claiming to 233 00:11:20,137 --> 00:11:24,217 Speaker 1: be male feminists? Like, does anyone actually adhere to this 234 00:11:24,257 --> 00:11:26,457 Speaker 1: stuff anymore? Do they try to play this game? It 235 00:11:26,577 --> 00:11:30,737 Speaker 1: just feels like the Democrat orthodoxy on gender roles and 236 00:11:30,777 --> 00:11:33,697 Speaker 1: how guys are supposed to act in particular has just 237 00:11:33,737 --> 00:11:35,137 Speaker 1: been rejected by the culture. 238 00:11:36,537 --> 00:11:36,817 Speaker 3: Yeah. 239 00:11:36,857 --> 00:11:38,897 Speaker 2: I mean, I think there is this huge split right 240 00:11:38,897 --> 00:11:43,497 Speaker 2: now with gender between women are increasingly super far left, 241 00:11:43,537 --> 00:11:45,177 Speaker 2: like eighty four percent of young women in New York 242 00:11:45,257 --> 00:11:48,417 Speaker 2: voted for Momdanie, and men are increasingly a little bit 243 00:11:48,417 --> 00:11:49,177 Speaker 2: more conservative. 244 00:11:49,177 --> 00:11:52,177 Speaker 3: I think because they they're like this is insanity. 245 00:11:52,017 --> 00:11:54,617 Speaker 2: They reject a lot of the leptism, And I think 246 00:11:54,657 --> 00:11:58,057 Speaker 2: the Democrats have been desperately trying to reach young men 247 00:11:58,137 --> 00:12:01,057 Speaker 2: right like they spent millions of dollars to study and 248 00:12:01,137 --> 00:12:04,137 Speaker 2: understand what young men wanted, and of course there's no 249 00:12:04,177 --> 00:12:08,697 Speaker 2: recognition like that their ideology and that there wokeism and 250 00:12:08,737 --> 00:12:13,777 Speaker 2: identity politics is ultimately like doesn't allow for men to 251 00:12:13,817 --> 00:12:15,577 Speaker 2: be men and men to be masculine. 252 00:12:16,657 --> 00:12:20,017 Speaker 3: So that's ultimately the big issue. But they can't address. 253 00:12:19,657 --> 00:12:21,137 Speaker 2: That elephant in the room because it would kind of 254 00:12:21,217 --> 00:12:26,697 Speaker 2: undermine their whole political ideology. But yeah, I think I 255 00:12:26,697 --> 00:12:28,617 Speaker 2: think a lot of people are afraid to say common 256 00:12:28,617 --> 00:12:30,337 Speaker 2: sense on the left and so they just kind of 257 00:12:30,577 --> 00:12:33,537 Speaker 2: shut up. And it's interesting you don't see a lot 258 00:12:33,537 --> 00:12:36,457 Speaker 2: of really masculine liberal men. 259 00:12:37,897 --> 00:12:40,377 Speaker 1: Yes, well, it's very hard to be a masculine liberal 260 00:12:40,417 --> 00:12:42,257 Speaker 1: man if you're going to say things like I think, dude, 261 00:12:42,297 --> 00:12:45,497 Speaker 1: you will play against women in sports, that's totally normal. Like, 262 00:12:45,697 --> 00:12:50,377 Speaker 1: no guy of average or above testosterone levels for his 263 00:12:50,457 --> 00:12:53,097 Speaker 1: age range is going to say, you know, what's totally 264 00:12:53,097 --> 00:12:55,857 Speaker 1: fair a two hundred pound guy on the girls lacrosse 265 00:12:55,857 --> 00:12:59,017 Speaker 1: team in college, Like that's not good. That's a hard 266 00:12:59,017 --> 00:12:59,617 Speaker 1: thing to sell. 267 00:13:01,577 --> 00:13:04,137 Speaker 2: Yeah, I actually, because I've been thinking a lot about 268 00:13:04,257 --> 00:13:06,177 Speaker 2: how young women and how so many young women in 269 00:13:06,217 --> 00:13:09,017 Speaker 2: my peer group and some of my friends are just 270 00:13:09,097 --> 00:13:11,897 Speaker 2: have gone so far are left, And I'm like, how 271 00:13:11,897 --> 00:13:14,217 Speaker 2: do we reach these young women to help them understand, like, 272 00:13:14,257 --> 00:13:16,617 Speaker 2: socialism is it not the answer. Defunding the police is 273 00:13:16,657 --> 00:13:19,057 Speaker 2: not the answer. And a lot of the people they 274 00:13:19,057 --> 00:13:21,377 Speaker 2: speak with are like, the way we get young women 275 00:13:21,417 --> 00:13:23,577 Speaker 2: to be a bit more moderate is we get young 276 00:13:23,657 --> 00:13:27,137 Speaker 2: men to get out there, right, And oftentimes once women 277 00:13:27,137 --> 00:13:29,617 Speaker 2: get married, they tend to be more conservative. And so 278 00:13:29,697 --> 00:13:31,657 Speaker 2: I think it's been a big issue that a lot 279 00:13:31,657 --> 00:13:34,817 Speaker 2: of men just have stayed home, have stayed in the basement, 280 00:13:35,457 --> 00:13:38,337 Speaker 2: aren't super motivated, and so I think we need to 281 00:13:38,417 --> 00:13:41,137 Speaker 2: push men to get out there, encourage that, and I 282 00:13:41,137 --> 00:13:44,097 Speaker 2: think that's going to sort of moderate young women who 283 00:13:44,217 --> 00:13:47,657 Speaker 2: are attracted to masculine men. By the way, this is like, 284 00:13:48,057 --> 00:13:50,617 Speaker 2: doesn't matter how liberal you are, you still want a 285 00:13:50,657 --> 00:13:51,817 Speaker 2: guy who's a real guy. 286 00:13:52,457 --> 00:13:56,497 Speaker 1: Mm hm for sure.
