I gotta watch that garbage. It's 12 00:00:50,680 --> 00:00:53,760 Speaker 2: all garbage. It's all fake news. But I think CNN 13 00:00:53,920 --> 00:00:57,160 Speaker 2: is a gutless group of people and the people that 14 00:00:57,280 --> 00:01:00,160 Speaker 2: run it nobody even knows. They's been sold so many times. 15 00:01:00,160 --> 00:01:01,880 Speaker 2: But the people that run it out to be a shame. 16 00:01:02,440 --> 00:01:04,600 Speaker 2: MSD is a guy named Brian Roberts. 17 00:01:04,600 --> 00:01:05,120 Speaker 1: He heads it. 18 00:01:05,480 --> 00:01:08,039 Speaker 2: He's a disgrace, he's a weak, pathetic discroll. 19 00:01:08,120 --> 00:01:10,760 Speaker 3: In earlier he said CNN is scum, which is my 20 00:01:10,840 --> 00:01:12,039 Speaker 3: favorite comment. 21 00:01:12,200 --> 00:01:16,440 Speaker 1: That he made today. See that ritable bum. 22 00:01:17,959 --> 00:01:22,480 Speaker 3: AnyWho, some reporting from some of these scumbags he doesn't like. 23 00:01:22,520 --> 00:01:25,200 Speaker 3: Here's a little of the news around what's been going on. 24 00:01:25,720 --> 00:01:29,880 Speaker 4: Questions remain about the fate of Iran's enriched uranium processed 25 00:01:29,920 --> 00:01:33,639 Speaker 4: at Fourdoh after the Iranians claimed they moved it before 26 00:01:33,680 --> 00:01:37,240 Speaker 4: the US attack. Satellite images from the day before the 27 00:01:37,360 --> 00:01:41,680 Speaker 4: US strike show unusual activity a line of trucks seen 28 00:01:41,800 --> 00:01:45,800 Speaker 4: on a service road. The International Atomic Energy Agency now 29 00:01:45,840 --> 00:01:50,480 Speaker 4: warning nearly nine hundred pounds of iranium uranium enriched to 30 00:01:50,640 --> 00:01:54,640 Speaker 4: sixty percent near weapons grade is unaccounted for. 31 00:01:55,080 --> 00:01:58,559 Speaker 5: Ashola Ali Hammoni has not been seen for almost two 32 00:01:58,600 --> 00:02:02,680 Speaker 5: weeks in public. Now speculation about ways hiding Israel in 33 00:02:02,720 --> 00:02:05,120 Speaker 5: the US, as you know, say, they're not trying to 34 00:02:05,200 --> 00:02:08,440 Speaker 5: change the regime there. They're raising questions where is he 35 00:02:08,480 --> 00:02:11,000 Speaker 5: to nys and what would happen if you were killed 36 00:02:11,000 --> 00:02:12,160 Speaker 5: in one of these attacks. 37 00:02:12,360 --> 00:02:17,760 Speaker 3: So those are two pretty interesting ongoing threads of this 38 00:02:17,880 --> 00:02:22,320 Speaker 3: whole story, the missing nine hundred pounds of enriched uranium 39 00:02:22,880 --> 00:02:24,279 Speaker 3: and the missing Ayatola. 40 00:02:25,280 --> 00:02:28,760 Speaker 6: Right, what I'm feeling is just as far underground as 41 00:02:28,800 --> 00:02:31,760 Speaker 6: he can get. You think he's sitting on the uranium somewhere. 42 00:02:32,919 --> 00:02:35,480 Speaker 6: That's possible, I suppose, but he's I think he's just 43 00:02:35,800 --> 00:02:36,560 Speaker 6: in deep cover. 44 00:02:40,280 --> 00:02:45,400 Speaker 3: What about so some journalists bad ones are using the 45 00:02:45,520 --> 00:02:48,760 Speaker 3: whole The uranium was moved before the attack as a 46 00:02:48,840 --> 00:02:50,400 Speaker 3: sea We didn't need to do that, or it was 47 00:02:50,440 --> 00:02:51,440 Speaker 3: a bad idea, or it was. 48 00:02:51,440 --> 00:02:52,320 Speaker 1: A failure or whatever. 49 00:02:52,480 --> 00:02:55,880 Speaker 3: You had to be scum that that is scummy because 50 00:02:55,919 --> 00:02:58,720 Speaker 3: those places needed to be destroyed, so that can't continue 51 00:02:58,760 --> 00:03:02,600 Speaker 3: to enrich uranium obviously. But yeah, we ain't got to 52 00:03:02,600 --> 00:03:06,200 Speaker 3: figure out where that is now, was it, Marco Rubio? 53 00:03:06,320 --> 00:03:09,880 Speaker 3: Something might have been? Mark Rubio said, Israel's got to 54 00:03:09,919 --> 00:03:12,040 Speaker 3: know where it is. I mean, they've got people on 55 00:03:12,080 --> 00:03:15,640 Speaker 3: the ground. They they they're monitoring where trucks are going 56 00:03:15,680 --> 00:03:16,520 Speaker 3: and all that sort of thing. 57 00:03:16,560 --> 00:03:17,160 Speaker 1: So I don't know. 58 00:03:18,919 --> 00:03:23,079 Speaker 6: Yeah, I've been completely mystified today. If you're just tuning 59 00:03:23,120 --> 00:03:28,560 Speaker 6: in by Trump's reaction to Israel continuing their attacks to 60 00:03:28,639 --> 00:03:33,760 Speaker 6: the very last possible moment before the alleged cease fire. 61 00:03:34,680 --> 00:03:36,760 Speaker 6: In fact, as long as we're discussing it, Michael, let's 62 00:03:36,840 --> 00:03:42,200 Speaker 6: hit Sorry I scrolled past it, Uh, just hit forty 63 00:03:42,240 --> 00:03:42,600 Speaker 6: one b. 64 00:03:44,880 --> 00:03:48,480 Speaker 2: Have We basically have two countries that have been fighting 65 00:03:48,560 --> 00:03:51,400 Speaker 2: so long and so hard that they don't know what 66 00:03:51,440 --> 00:03:53,280 Speaker 2: the fuck they're doing. Do you understand that. 67 00:03:55,800 --> 00:04:00,400 Speaker 6: I don't get how Trump doesn't understand. No, is It's real, 68 00:04:00,600 --> 00:04:05,320 Speaker 6: has a mission to accomplish, and they haven't yet accomplished it. 69 00:04:05,600 --> 00:04:07,400 Speaker 1: So they've got a little more to do. 70 00:04:08,040 --> 00:04:11,640 Speaker 6: And imposing a ceasefire now because we've knocked out foordoh 71 00:04:11,800 --> 00:04:15,560 Speaker 6: or whatever. It just they haven't finished the job. I 72 00:04:15,680 --> 00:04:19,680 Speaker 6: just I think you mentioned earlier that Trump is just 73 00:04:19,800 --> 00:04:23,120 Speaker 6: so much about doing business and making money and hey, 74 00:04:23,200 --> 00:04:26,040 Speaker 6: let's all get along and your people can be prosperous. 75 00:04:26,120 --> 00:04:28,680 Speaker 6: And why would you have him live like this when 76 00:04:28,680 --> 00:04:33,800 Speaker 6: we are offering that he doesn't get Islamic fundamentalism and 77 00:04:33,839 --> 00:04:37,880 Speaker 6: he doesn't get the need to finally end Islamic fundamentalism 78 00:04:38,360 --> 00:04:40,640 Speaker 6: or at least its capacity to do harm and Iran 79 00:04:40,839 --> 00:04:41,640 Speaker 6: by Israel. 80 00:04:42,040 --> 00:04:46,080 Speaker 3: So they're referring to a ceasefire in all the headlines. 81 00:04:46,120 --> 00:04:48,560 Speaker 3: I'm looking up at the cable news channel, So there 82 00:04:48,600 --> 00:04:50,200 Speaker 3: is a ceasfire currently going on. 83 00:04:52,160 --> 00:04:54,160 Speaker 6: I wonder if that's just till BB can get Trump 84 00:04:54,240 --> 00:04:55,640 Speaker 6: on the phone and explain himself. 85 00:04:55,720 --> 00:04:59,159 Speaker 3: Now, you had the report earlier from somewhere that Trump 86 00:04:59,160 --> 00:05:01,520 Speaker 3: actually told BB he turned some planes around that we're 87 00:05:01,560 --> 00:05:02,600 Speaker 3: headed to do more bombing. 88 00:05:03,320 --> 00:05:04,719 Speaker 1: Uh yeah, yeah. 89 00:05:04,760 --> 00:05:09,160 Speaker 6: There was the phase in of the ceasefire, and allegedly 90 00:05:09,279 --> 00:05:11,960 Speaker 6: BB had some heavy stuff heading toward Iran and Trump 91 00:05:12,000 --> 00:05:15,880 Speaker 6: said no, no, no, turn those planes around, which I 92 00:05:16,040 --> 00:05:18,200 Speaker 6: just I am completely mystified by. 93 00:05:18,880 --> 00:05:21,400 Speaker 3: Uh, well, it depends what. It depends on where Iran is. 94 00:05:21,440 --> 00:05:25,320 Speaker 3: Maybe they're they're in full surrender mode. I mean they 95 00:05:25,360 --> 00:05:27,880 Speaker 3: get they've I don't see how they've got any choice. 96 00:05:28,680 --> 00:05:29,679 Speaker 1: What is your choice. 97 00:05:29,839 --> 00:05:33,560 Speaker 3: You're completely defenseless, you have no air defense, you've got 98 00:05:33,560 --> 00:05:35,680 Speaker 3: no air force, you've got you've got nothing. 99 00:05:36,560 --> 00:05:42,000 Speaker 6: Well, I I returned to the singum that Iran's posturing 100 00:05:42,080 --> 00:05:46,120 Speaker 6: can't be believed, it can't be trusted. So they are 101 00:05:46,160 --> 00:05:50,920 Speaker 6: in surrender mode. You've disarmed your neighbor, your your murderous neighbor, 102 00:05:50,920 --> 00:05:55,400 Speaker 6: from his machine gun and his shotgun. And he say, look, 103 00:05:55,440 --> 00:05:57,359 Speaker 6: I don't want to fight anymore. I don't want to 104 00:05:57,360 --> 00:06:00,039 Speaker 6: fight anymore. Just let me hold on to my buck knife. 105 00:06:00,120 --> 00:06:02,960 Speaker 6: And you're saying no, no, I'm going to blast that 106 00:06:03,000 --> 00:06:05,200 Speaker 6: buckknife out of your hand. I don't trust you for 107 00:06:05,279 --> 00:06:08,400 Speaker 6: a minute. That's where Israel is, So no, I don't 108 00:06:08,440 --> 00:06:09,560 Speaker 6: trust them being in. 109 00:06:10,040 --> 00:06:12,679 Speaker 3: You're in Neo khon you and John Boltman, Lindsey Graham 110 00:06:12,680 --> 00:06:14,279 Speaker 3: should just go fight every nation on earth. 111 00:06:14,640 --> 00:06:17,119 Speaker 6: Oh yeah, we had a meeting last night and drank 112 00:06:17,160 --> 00:06:18,160 Speaker 6: the blood of the innocence. 113 00:06:18,360 --> 00:06:21,520 Speaker 1: It was great. So I want to make that point. 114 00:06:21,560 --> 00:06:23,760 Speaker 6: I have two other straight points I've been wanting to 115 00:06:23,760 --> 00:06:27,680 Speaker 6: make then into some really great analysis. Number One, everybody's 116 00:06:27,680 --> 00:06:29,680 Speaker 6: talking about the B two's and the thirty seven hour 117 00:06:29,760 --> 00:06:31,080 Speaker 6: round trip and the rest of it, and it was 118 00:06:31,240 --> 00:06:36,600 Speaker 6: masterful and fantastic. But I must stand up for the 119 00:06:36,640 --> 00:06:42,000 Speaker 6: force that was, as they say, unseen and unseen America's 120 00:06:42,080 --> 00:06:47,080 Speaker 6: Submarine Service, which unleashed Holy Hell from under the ocean, 121 00:06:47,640 --> 00:06:51,240 Speaker 6: and they are wherever they need to be, lurking unseen 122 00:06:51,400 --> 00:06:53,920 Speaker 6: around the world. And by God, you should sleep better 123 00:06:53,920 --> 00:06:56,360 Speaker 6: at night knowing the submarine services doing what they're doing. 124 00:06:56,880 --> 00:06:59,880 Speaker 6: Second thing, once in a while, you have a soft head, 125 00:07:00,080 --> 00:07:03,920 Speaker 6: say you can't bomb an idea, you can't kill an idea. 126 00:07:05,120 --> 00:07:07,559 Speaker 6: And I heard the point made, and I can't remember 127 00:07:07,560 --> 00:07:13,680 Speaker 6: who said it exactly, but the idea that has animated 128 00:07:13,760 --> 00:07:17,240 Speaker 6: the Mullahs in Iran and the Revolutionary Garden everybody else 129 00:07:18,080 --> 00:07:21,440 Speaker 6: to a large extent, is the idea that the righteous 130 00:07:21,600 --> 00:07:26,120 Speaker 6: victory of Islam over the Jews and the evil doers 131 00:07:26,280 --> 00:07:30,120 Speaker 6: is within reach, and we are going to clean the 132 00:07:30,280 --> 00:07:34,320 Speaker 6: earth of the scourge of the Jews from Israel. That's 133 00:07:34,400 --> 00:07:38,480 Speaker 6: step number one, and then our righteous Islamic revolution will 134 00:07:38,480 --> 00:07:40,320 Speaker 6: take over the whole world. 135 00:07:40,720 --> 00:07:42,680 Speaker 1: But there have been other movements. 136 00:07:42,320 --> 00:07:46,200 Speaker 6: Like that that have been bombed out of existence or ended. 137 00:07:46,680 --> 00:07:50,640 Speaker 6: The commentator I'm thinking about cited the Pan Arab movement 138 00:07:51,080 --> 00:07:53,400 Speaker 6: of the middle part of the twentieth century, mostly the 139 00:07:53,400 --> 00:07:57,240 Speaker 6: second half. Naser was the great look him up, was 140 00:07:57,240 --> 00:08:01,080 Speaker 6: the great leader of that. But when they all ganged 141 00:08:01,160 --> 00:08:03,320 Speaker 6: up on Israel in the sixties and seventies and got 142 00:08:03,360 --> 00:08:05,640 Speaker 6: their asses whooped, all those touch and go there for 143 00:08:05,680 --> 00:08:08,440 Speaker 6: a while, that just went away. 144 00:08:09,920 --> 00:08:12,280 Speaker 1: And one of the most important things mankind. 145 00:08:11,840 --> 00:08:17,240 Speaker 6: Could do is nip that whole radical Islam is going 146 00:08:17,320 --> 00:08:20,480 Speaker 6: to take over the globe idea. Nip that in the 147 00:08:20,560 --> 00:08:25,000 Speaker 6: bud and put some round up on it. Anyway, and 148 00:08:25,120 --> 00:08:27,800 Speaker 6: wanting to say that finally got it out. These people 149 00:08:27,840 --> 00:08:31,200 Speaker 6: have know what does Trump say there? They know they 150 00:08:31,760 --> 00:08:33,000 Speaker 6: don't know what the f they're doing. 151 00:08:33,080 --> 00:08:35,080 Speaker 2: They don't know what the they're doing. 152 00:08:35,559 --> 00:08:38,280 Speaker 6: See, I think they know precisely what the f they're doing. 153 00:08:39,600 --> 00:08:43,400 Speaker 6: Elliott Kaufman wrote a piece recently, Benjamin Nett and Yahoo 154 00:08:43,480 --> 00:08:47,679 Speaker 6: versus Kasim Solamani. You may recall from the headlines and 155 00:08:47,800 --> 00:08:51,240 Speaker 6: Trump's first term. Yeah it's got blue eyes. One blew 156 00:08:51,280 --> 00:08:52,840 Speaker 6: over there, the other one blew over there, as the 157 00:08:52,880 --> 00:08:58,240 Speaker 6: old wow, terrible tasteless joke goes. But just before he 158 00:08:58,360 --> 00:09:02,560 Speaker 6: got snuffed a video made by one of his fellow 159 00:09:02,640 --> 00:09:06,840 Speaker 6: commanders talking about his life's work, and Solomoni said, I 160 00:09:06,880 --> 00:09:09,840 Speaker 6: have assembled for you six armies outside Iran, and I 161 00:09:09,880 --> 00:09:12,800 Speaker 6: have created a corridor fifteen hundred kilometers long and one 162 00:09:12,880 --> 00:09:15,280 Speaker 6: thousand kilometers wide, all the way to the shores of 163 00:09:15,320 --> 00:09:18,600 Speaker 6: the Mediterranean. Any enemy that decides to fight against the 164 00:09:18,640 --> 00:09:22,200 Speaker 6: Islamic Revolution and against the sacred regime of the Islamic 165 00:09:22,240 --> 00:09:25,679 Speaker 6: Republic of Iran noticed those were two different things. The 166 00:09:25,800 --> 00:09:28,880 Speaker 6: Islamic Revolution blah blah blah, will have to go through 167 00:09:28,920 --> 00:09:31,800 Speaker 6: these six armies. It won't be able to do so. 168 00:09:32,679 --> 00:09:36,600 Speaker 6: Yet Israel did, Rather than nip around the edges of 169 00:09:36,640 --> 00:09:41,040 Speaker 6: solomoni strategy, Jerusalem has fought Tehran on its own terms. 170 00:09:41,200 --> 00:09:44,440 Speaker 6: Of Solomoni's six armies, only the Huthis and Iraq's popular 171 00:09:44,559 --> 00:09:49,120 Speaker 6: mobilization units have escaped. After the October seventh massacre, Israel 172 00:09:49,200 --> 00:09:53,480 Speaker 6: fought through Hamas Islamic Jihad Hesbalah, wiping out their leadership 173 00:09:53,480 --> 00:09:56,800 Speaker 6: and slicing up their mislarsenals, leaving the Asad regime and 174 00:09:56,880 --> 00:10:00,640 Speaker 6: Sereal to crumble without support. Oh me, I want to 175 00:10:00,640 --> 00:10:03,560 Speaker 6: get to the fact that Russia, which has sworn allegiance 176 00:10:03,640 --> 00:10:07,120 Speaker 6: with Iran, is like, hey, yeah, yeah, I got to 177 00:10:07,160 --> 00:10:10,040 Speaker 6: take a call, Well, I'll call you back, and is 178 00:10:10,120 --> 00:10:13,520 Speaker 6: nowhere to be found. And suddenly Iran didn't look so menacing. 179 00:10:13,679 --> 00:10:16,760 Speaker 6: Israel could focus on the state and nuclear programs, seeking 180 00:10:16,800 --> 00:10:20,079 Speaker 6: its destruction without worrying about thousands of rockets a day 181 00:10:20,080 --> 00:10:23,760 Speaker 6: from Iran's proxies. Then President Trump could enter to remove 182 00:10:23,920 --> 00:10:29,360 Speaker 6: all doubt. And that's where we are. Let them finish, 183 00:10:30,120 --> 00:10:34,960 Speaker 6: for the love of humanity, let them finish warmonger. 184 00:10:36,679 --> 00:10:38,040 Speaker 1: Oh in some cases, yes. 185 00:10:38,040 --> 00:10:42,120 Speaker 6: Yeah, And then I am a hardcore preserve the peace 186 00:10:42,320 --> 00:10:45,440 Speaker 6: through strength so that everybody can live and prosper and 187 00:10:45,520 --> 00:10:47,760 Speaker 6: raise their children in peace. 188 00:10:48,000 --> 00:10:51,839 Speaker 3: You're one of those people Tucker Carlson was warning me about. 189 00:10:52,880 --> 00:10:55,839 Speaker 6: Yeah, Tucker Carlson who said that if we attack Iran, 190 00:10:55,920 --> 00:10:59,160 Speaker 6: I want to make sure, I get this right, and 191 00:10:59,200 --> 00:11:03,520 Speaker 6: Iran has power allies. The first week of war, and 192 00:11:03,520 --> 00:11:05,640 Speaker 6: Iran could easily kill thousands of Americans. 193 00:11:05,760 --> 00:11:07,720 Speaker 1: It could collapse our economy. 194 00:11:07,400 --> 00:11:13,280 Speaker 6: As oil prices surge to unmanageable inflation and trigger unmanageable inflation. 195 00:11:13,720 --> 00:11:15,720 Speaker 1: Iran has powerful allies, said Tucker. 196 00:11:15,840 --> 00:11:18,480 Speaker 6: It's now part of a global block called Bricks, which 197 00:11:18,520 --> 00:11:22,120 Speaker 6: represents the majority of the world's land mass, population, economy, 198 00:11:22,120 --> 00:11:26,559 Speaker 6: and military power. Iran has extensive military ties with Russia. 199 00:11:26,640 --> 00:11:29,600 Speaker 6: It sells the overwhelming majority of its oil experts to China. 200 00:11:29,880 --> 00:11:32,920 Speaker 6: Iran isn't alone. An attack on Iran could easily become 201 00:11:32,960 --> 00:11:34,880 Speaker 6: a world war. We'd lose. 202 00:11:36,679 --> 00:11:42,120 Speaker 3: Interesting, So if that were true, he thinks surrendering to 203 00:11:42,240 --> 00:11:45,080 Speaker 3: it preemptively would mean that we didn't lose. 204 00:11:45,120 --> 00:11:47,440 Speaker 1: It. Seems like that that would be announcing we've lost. 205 00:11:47,880 --> 00:11:49,880 Speaker 6: I have no idea, or is it just all these 206 00:11:49,880 --> 00:11:54,160 Speaker 6: guys despised Jews. I mean, because is Tucker's favorite fake 207 00:11:54,280 --> 00:11:57,920 Speaker 6: historian Darryl Cooper put it, we should commence air strikes 208 00:11:57,920 --> 00:12:01,440 Speaker 6: on Tel Aviv immediately. Wow Wow, he said that, And 209 00:12:01,480 --> 00:12:05,280 Speaker 6: then he said, unlike Iran, Israel's primary strategic goals involved 210 00:12:05,280 --> 00:12:07,280 Speaker 6: getting American servicemen killed. 211 00:12:07,880 --> 00:12:12,000 Speaker 3: Wow, So was Tucker okay with h Iran getting a nuke? 212 00:12:12,280 --> 00:12:14,959 Speaker 3: Kind of a why do we get to have them 213 00:12:14,960 --> 00:12:16,280 Speaker 3: if they don't kind of got. 214 00:12:16,360 --> 00:12:18,480 Speaker 6: He is big on moral equivalency these days. 215 00:12:18,480 --> 00:12:18,840 Speaker 1: I don't know. 216 00:12:18,880 --> 00:12:21,280 Speaker 6: I don't recall him saying anything specifically about that. 217 00:12:21,320 --> 00:12:25,319 Speaker 1: He may have. Man, that's nuts. So, oh, what's that 218 00:12:25,320 --> 00:12:28,320 Speaker 1: thing you leaders kill people? Right, Tucker? What's that thing 219 00:12:28,320 --> 00:12:30,160 Speaker 1: you got coming up later that I'm so excited about? 220 00:12:30,480 --> 00:12:33,920 Speaker 6: Oh my gosh. Yeah, it is so interesting. A gigantic 221 00:12:34,000 --> 00:12:40,040 Speaker 6: new study. It's over sixty thousand respondents of mental health 222 00:12:40,559 --> 00:12:44,840 Speaker 6: broken down in all sorts of different ways, age, income, education, 223 00:12:45,400 --> 00:12:52,320 Speaker 6: sexual orientation, and political stances. And one side of the 224 00:12:52,360 --> 00:12:58,000 Speaker 6: aisle is way more miserable than the other.

That's still a story, 230 00:13:14,240 --> 00:13:18,000 Speaker 3: I guess somewhere, but it's interesting. Among other things we 231 00:13:18,040 --> 00:13:18,880 Speaker 3: got on the waistair here. 232 00:13:20,600 --> 00:13:20,880 Speaker 6: Strong. 233 00:13:21,240 --> 00:13:27,280 Speaker 2: Yet the only thing I do is I exercise faithfully. 234 00:13:27,720 --> 00:13:28,760 Speaker 6: I don't eat red meat. 235 00:13:29,200 --> 00:13:30,920 Speaker 1: I like the plank.

I need help with 341 00:18:14,160 --> 00:18:17,240 Speaker 3: you about Putin. 342 00:18:17,800 --> 00:18:19,360 Speaker 1: Wow, Okay, I like it. 343 00:18:19,880 --> 00:18:22,000 Speaker 6: We learned not long ago how easy it is to 344 00:18:22,040 --> 00:18:24,480 Speaker 6: nominate somebody for the Nobel Peace Price. I'm going to 345 00:18:24,560 --> 00:18:27,400 Speaker 6: nominate my dog Baxter. Neemed to be more aggressive toward 346 00:18:27,440 --> 00:18:29,200 Speaker 6: other dogs, and he's less aggressive now. 347 00:18:29,280 --> 00:18:31,160 Speaker 3: I don't know why this isn't reported more often. Yet, 348 00:18:31,200 --> 00:18:34,240 Speaker 3: anybody practically can nominate you from the Nobel Peace Prize. 349 00:18:34,280 --> 00:18:35,159 Speaker 1: It doesn't mean anything. 350 00:18:35,200 --> 00:18:39,600 Speaker 6: Really, we're still waiting for our nomination. By the way, folks, hello, anyway, 351 00:18:40,240 --> 00:18:42,720 Speaker 6: we'll cover the cost. Do you do the paper. We'll 352 00:18:42,760 --> 00:18:46,200 Speaker 6: pay the fe So this is so interesting. I came 353 00:18:46,240 --> 00:18:53,679 Speaker 6: across this the other day. A couple of scientists writers 354 00:18:53,720 --> 00:19:00,960 Speaker 6: commentaries who ran into each other after the one published 355 00:19:01,000 --> 00:19:03,600 Speaker 6: a piece on why young men have turned against the 356 00:19:03,640 --> 00:19:09,400 Speaker 6: Democratic Party, and this other guy, this other researcher said, hey, 357 00:19:09,440 --> 00:19:12,199 Speaker 6: you know, I've actually been doing studies in that area. 358 00:19:12,440 --> 00:19:15,359 Speaker 6: Let's get together and talk about it and compare notes. 359 00:19:16,040 --> 00:19:17,480 Speaker 1: And they came. 360 00:19:18,520 --> 00:19:20,960 Speaker 6: They've come out with a really, really interesting report. Young 361 00:19:21,000 --> 00:19:27,040 Speaker 6: people in general report fairly miserable mental health, with high 362 00:19:27,119 --> 00:19:30,399 Speaker 6: rates of anxiety and depression. But this is particularly true 363 00:19:30,440 --> 00:19:35,800 Speaker 6: for young women. And they make the point that assumptions 364 00:19:35,840 --> 00:19:38,479 Speaker 6: democrats make about how to attract younger voters may not 365 00:19:38,520 --> 00:19:40,240 Speaker 6: appeal to men for various reasons. 366 00:19:40,240 --> 00:19:42,560 Speaker 1: But they point out that this. 367 00:19:44,000 --> 00:19:46,320 Speaker 6: That it the one report they looked at very the 368 00:19:46,320 --> 00:19:49,719 Speaker 6: most interesting finding, which is that conservatives have much higher 369 00:19:49,800 --> 00:19:52,120 Speaker 6: self reported mental health than liberals. 370 00:19:52,240 --> 00:19:54,479 Speaker 1: Is this surprising to anyone? 371 00:19:54,720 --> 00:19:54,800 Speaker 9: No? 372 00:19:55,359 --> 00:19:59,359 Speaker 6: No, The really interesting part is still to come self 373 00:19:59,359 --> 00:20:04,679 Speaker 6: reporting grain assault, but just a grain, not a shaker. 374 00:20:05,280 --> 00:20:10,320 Speaker 1: Why. I don't know on self reporting on your mental health. 375 00:20:12,000 --> 00:20:15,320 Speaker 6: It could be that in certain communities it is taboo 376 00:20:15,440 --> 00:20:16,879 Speaker 6: to be honest about. 377 00:20:16,600 --> 00:20:19,200 Speaker 1: Your mental health. I think it's more likely the other. 378 00:20:19,119 --> 00:20:21,560 Speaker 3: Direction, but yeah, I'm just trying to be fair that 379 00:20:21,640 --> 00:20:24,720 Speaker 3: in more communities it's the greatest prize of all to 380 00:20:24,800 --> 00:20:30,000 Speaker 3: explain how I have anxiety and depression and OCD and 381 00:20:30,040 --> 00:20:31,119 Speaker 3: all these other things. 382 00:20:31,800 --> 00:20:34,040 Speaker 6: I agree with you completely, and I'm glad you pointed 383 00:20:34,080 --> 00:20:34,400 Speaker 6: that out. 384 00:20:34,960 --> 00:20:35,520 Speaker 1: Blah blah blah. 385 00:20:36,160 --> 00:20:40,480 Speaker 6: It's a wide gap too between conservatives and liberals, according 386 00:20:40,520 --> 00:20:45,200 Speaker 6: to this giant study with sixty thousand respondents that provides 387 00:20:45,240 --> 00:20:49,680 Speaker 6: the opportunity for highly detailed democratic demographic analysis. 388 00:20:49,880 --> 00:20:52,120 Speaker 1: Among people who report excellent. 389 00:20:51,720 --> 00:20:56,320 Speaker 6: Mental health, conservatives outnumber liberals fifty one to twenty as 390 00:20:56,359 --> 00:21:00,639 Speaker 6: a ratio, but liberals outnumber conservatives for twenty five to 391 00:21:00,760 --> 00:21:05,040 Speaker 6: nineteen among those voters who say they have poor mental health. 392 00:21:05,080 --> 00:21:11,440 Speaker 6: This isn't the least bit surprising to me. What's interesting? 393 00:21:11,520 --> 00:21:16,120 Speaker 6: And they assigned points, so one hundred points scale zero 394 00:21:16,359 --> 00:21:20,200 Speaker 6: is poor mental health, twenty five is fair, fifty is good, 395 00:21:20,560 --> 00:21:24,119 Speaker 6: seventy five is very good, one hundred is excellent. 396 00:21:24,480 --> 00:21:26,639 Speaker 3: I think, I go, what would you say for yourself? 397 00:21:26,680 --> 00:21:28,880 Speaker 3: I'm going I would say very good. Oh, there's quite 398 00:21:29,000 --> 00:21:31,720 Speaker 3: disagree with me, you who know me, But I feel 399 00:21:31,720 --> 00:21:32,879 Speaker 3: like I'm very good. 400 00:21:33,160 --> 00:21:34,960 Speaker 1: Yeah. Can we have a round of rating where we 401 00:21:35,080 --> 00:21:36,040 Speaker 1: rate each other too? 402 00:21:36,920 --> 00:21:39,240 Speaker 3: I have in a town full of people who are crazy, 403 00:21:39,320 --> 00:21:40,720 Speaker 3: so it helps me stand out. 404 00:21:40,760 --> 00:21:43,040 Speaker 1: I feel like, are you graded on a curve? In 405 00:21:43,080 --> 00:21:43,800 Speaker 1: this I don't know. 406 00:21:44,359 --> 00:21:47,480 Speaker 6: So here's the first thing that popped into my mind 407 00:21:48,840 --> 00:21:52,240 Speaker 6: is and part of the reason I leapt to this 408 00:21:52,480 --> 00:21:55,720 Speaker 6: thought was because we came across an absolutely fantastic quote 409 00:21:55,720 --> 00:22:02,560 Speaker 6: which I've misplaced, damn it, that women more than men, 410 00:22:02,720 --> 00:22:06,720 Speaker 6: not all women, but women in general, and like effeminate men, 411 00:22:07,600 --> 00:22:11,320 Speaker 6: filter information through a process not of is this true? 412 00:22:11,480 --> 00:22:16,840 Speaker 6: But will believing this gain me social currency and acceptance? 413 00:22:17,119 --> 00:22:23,800 Speaker 6: Will the group accept me for adopting this attitude? And 414 00:22:23,880 --> 00:22:27,359 Speaker 6: so the first thing I thought was, Okay, maybe people 415 00:22:28,560 --> 00:22:34,600 Speaker 6: of an unhappy or mentally fragile bent need more support, 416 00:22:35,240 --> 00:22:39,399 Speaker 6: and so they tend toward liberalism. Well, it's funny I 417 00:22:39,400 --> 00:22:41,639 Speaker 6: had that thought, and the guys immediately got to the question. 418 00:22:41,680 --> 00:22:44,800 Speaker 6: They said, could this reflect a spurious correlation? In other words, 419 00:22:45,200 --> 00:22:49,840 Speaker 6: that voters with characteristics associated with lower happiness tend to 420 00:22:49,880 --> 00:22:53,800 Speaker 6: be attracted to liberalism, but that political attitudes themselves don't 421 00:22:53,840 --> 00:22:54,840 Speaker 6: tell you much on their own. 422 00:22:55,280 --> 00:22:58,960 Speaker 1: In short, no, they're right, or at least probably not. 423 00:22:59,359 --> 00:23:03,800 Speaker 6: The difference between liberals and conservatives is remarkably persistent, even 424 00:23:03,840 --> 00:23:05,480 Speaker 6: once you control for those factors. 425 00:23:06,240 --> 00:23:07,320 Speaker 1: Then, they explain, going to. 426 00:23:07,280 --> 00:23:09,359 Speaker 6: Give you a long chart with those point values that 427 00:23:09,440 --> 00:23:13,000 Speaker 6: I talked about. The average American self reports at sixty 428 00:23:13,040 --> 00:23:15,280 Speaker 6: on the scale, somewhere between good and. 429 00:23:15,320 --> 00:23:18,159 Speaker 1: Very good mental health. But that's roughly where I would be. 430 00:23:19,160 --> 00:23:22,040 Speaker 6: But liberals report an average score of fifty three and 431 00:23:22,160 --> 00:23:26,680 Speaker 6: conservatives sixty eight. Moderates not shockingly right in the middle 432 00:23:26,760 --> 00:23:32,520 Speaker 6: at fifty eight, anyway, they take advantage of that's a 433 00:23:32,600 --> 00:23:36,520 Speaker 6: moderate for you, always moderating anyway, take advantage of the 434 00:23:36,560 --> 00:23:39,119 Speaker 6: large sample size in this CEES study. Let's see how 435 00:23:39,119 --> 00:23:42,080 Speaker 6: this difference holds up against a wide array of demographic 436 00:23:42,119 --> 00:23:49,560 Speaker 6: and political characteristics. Let's see gender men tend to be 437 00:23:50,480 --> 00:23:55,879 Speaker 6: conservative men at a sixty nine giggity liberal men of 438 00:23:55,960 --> 00:24:01,800 Speaker 6: fifty six. Conservative women up there at sixty six liberal 439 00:24:01,840 --> 00:24:03,680 Speaker 6: women way down at fifty one. 440 00:24:05,040 --> 00:24:06,880 Speaker 1: Average mental health score. 441 00:24:07,840 --> 00:24:11,440 Speaker 3: White folks, that's I realize what you just said about 442 00:24:12,680 --> 00:24:17,080 Speaker 3: all these things. But man, because I'm surrounded by this world, 443 00:24:19,600 --> 00:24:22,679 Speaker 3: you would really stand out as like you might be 444 00:24:23,560 --> 00:24:25,639 Speaker 3: kicked out of the herd if you were to say, 445 00:24:25,800 --> 00:24:28,000 Speaker 3: you know, I think I'm perfectly fine. 446 00:24:28,720 --> 00:24:34,440 Speaker 6: Yeah, whereas I live in a world of hey, we're 447 00:24:34,440 --> 00:24:36,080 Speaker 6: all here for you. Have a drink, you'll be fine, 448 00:24:37,000 --> 00:24:40,720 Speaker 6: and most people are. Let's see black in his or 449 00:24:40,800 --> 00:24:47,080 Speaker 6: I'm sorry. White, Black, and Hispanic and Asian conservatives are 450 00:24:47,400 --> 00:24:51,680 Speaker 6: virtually tied at sixty eight sixty eight sixty five sixty five. 451 00:24:54,520 --> 00:25:00,520 Speaker 6: Liberal white, Black, Hispanic and Asians is fifty two sixty 452 00:25:00,840 --> 00:25:06,159 Speaker 6: fifty one fifty one, like a fairly consistent fourteen point gap. 453 00:25:08,280 --> 00:25:11,080 Speaker 6: Young people age gen z that's ninety seven or later, 454 00:25:12,240 --> 00:25:17,400 Speaker 6: it's fifty six to forty gen Zers. Liberal gen zers 455 00:25:17,480 --> 00:25:23,080 Speaker 6: are among the most miserable people in America. The older 456 00:25:23,119 --> 00:25:26,160 Speaker 6: you get, the highers, the scores get on both ends 457 00:25:26,200 --> 00:25:30,359 Speaker 6: of the scale, and we could get into education that 458 00:25:30,480 --> 00:25:33,520 Speaker 6: sort of gen zers report the most. 459 00:25:34,200 --> 00:25:38,320 Speaker 3: Yeah, it's tough to break all this stuff down. And 460 00:25:38,359 --> 00:25:40,399 Speaker 3: I realized they tried to control for all these things. 461 00:25:40,400 --> 00:25:46,320 Speaker 3: But I can't imagine being a twenty year old in 462 00:25:47,240 --> 00:25:50,359 Speaker 3: a lot of your blue cities and telling your parents nothing, 463 00:25:50,400 --> 00:25:54,239 Speaker 3: I'm fine. You wouldn't want to disappoint your parents like 464 00:25:54,280 --> 00:25:59,720 Speaker 3: that by telling them you don't have anxiety or depression 465 00:25:59,880 --> 00:26:00,960 Speaker 3: or any of those things. 466 00:26:01,480 --> 00:26:03,000 Speaker 1: Yeah, your parents are horrified. 467 00:26:03,800 --> 00:26:06,640 Speaker 6: I know several young people, some of whom I may 468 00:26:06,640 --> 00:26:11,720 Speaker 6: be genetically related to, who are seem to be very bright, 469 00:26:11,920 --> 00:26:18,040 Speaker 6: very well adjusted, happy with their lives, but have some 470 00:26:18,119 --> 00:26:23,960 Speaker 6: of these modern emotional problems. And it makes me really curious, 471 00:26:24,040 --> 00:26:27,119 Speaker 6: as we've discussed many times through the years, what environmental 472 00:26:27,160 --> 00:26:30,000 Speaker 6: causes are going on? Is that the never ending barrage 473 00:26:30,080 --> 00:26:32,879 Speaker 6: of inputs, that's my greatest suspicion. 474 00:26:33,119 --> 00:26:36,360 Speaker 1: Yeah, so yeah, we're never quiet, we're never alone, we're 475 00:26:36,400 --> 00:26:37,040 Speaker 1: never bored. 476 00:26:37,240 --> 00:26:40,159 Speaker 3: You're right in presenting this information, we're kind of or 477 00:26:40,200 --> 00:26:42,200 Speaker 3: I was kind of presenting it like this is all 478 00:26:44,080 --> 00:26:47,520 Speaker 3: somewhat imagined. But we have talked a lot about it, 479 00:26:47,520 --> 00:26:50,280 Speaker 3: and I know, I got one kid who has for 480 00:26:50,400 --> 00:26:53,159 Speaker 3: real anxiety depression OCD, all that sort of stuff, and 481 00:26:53,280 --> 00:26:55,760 Speaker 3: it's been struggling with it his whole life and on medication, 482 00:26:55,840 --> 00:26:58,880 Speaker 3: and I've seen a gazillion psychiatrist and doctors and blah 483 00:26:58,920 --> 00:27:03,000 Speaker 3: blah blah. So yeah, there's something going on that is 484 00:27:03,040 --> 00:27:08,840 Speaker 3: causing problems, right, Yeah, So separating out that the real 485 00:27:09,000 --> 00:27:12,920 Speaker 3: from the just culturally, you live in a town where 486 00:27:12,960 --> 00:27:15,120 Speaker 3: everybody's supposed to have some of this stuff because life 487 00:27:15,160 --> 00:27:15,400 Speaker 3: is so. 488 00:27:15,359 --> 00:27:18,639 Speaker 6: Hard and the world is so bad if you're keeping 489 00:27:18,680 --> 00:27:22,120 Speaker 6: track at home. Just for the record, Jack came to judge, 490 00:27:22,720 --> 00:27:23,480 Speaker 6: Joe came to. 491 00:27:23,560 --> 00:27:26,120 Speaker 1: Understand damn right, I came to judge. 492 00:27:26,119 --> 00:27:28,080 Speaker 6: And then brag about it. So let's be fair. I 493 00:27:28,119 --> 00:27:31,280 Speaker 6: bragged about it anyway. Uh So this is as I. 494 00:27:31,440 --> 00:27:35,439 Speaker 6: As I mentioned last segment, the most miserable pastards in 495 00:27:35,480 --> 00:27:41,360 Speaker 6: America appear to be progressive bisexuals. If you are bisexual 496 00:27:41,440 --> 00:27:45,159 Speaker 6: or other, and apparently there are some conservatives there at 497 00:27:45,160 --> 00:27:48,560 Speaker 6: a fifty nine, which ain't great. But if you're a 498 00:27:48,560 --> 00:27:52,800 Speaker 6: progressive bisexual you're at you selfrate yourself at thirty five, 499 00:27:53,760 --> 00:27:57,080 Speaker 6: for which I mean, like, by far the most miserable 500 00:27:57,080 --> 00:28:00,199 Speaker 6: people in America. I heard one prominent lesbian writer. I 501 00:28:00,280 --> 00:28:02,600 Speaker 6: read her right, Well, what do you want? These people 502 00:28:02,640 --> 00:28:05,840 Speaker 6: want everything from the world, both sexes. You know, everything 503 00:28:05,880 --> 00:28:10,000 Speaker 6: goes with a How can the world not disappoint them? 504 00:28:10,280 --> 00:28:11,639 Speaker 1: Hm? 505 00:28:11,760 --> 00:28:13,800 Speaker 3: I feel like I know a lot of baristas that 506 00:28:13,840 --> 00:28:17,040 Speaker 3: meet that description, and they look unhappy.

Trust me, I do 513 00:28:40,200 --> 00:28:44,320 Speaker 6: it for a living huh, and it declines low news 514 00:28:44,320 --> 00:28:48,600 Speaker 6: and political interest significantly lower on both sides. 515 00:28:49,200 --> 00:28:51,400 Speaker 1: Wow hmm. 516 00:28:54,800 --> 00:28:57,760 Speaker 3: So they just take in the information about the world 517 00:28:57,840 --> 00:29:01,680 Speaker 3: just kind of the way they hear it from people 518 00:29:01,840 --> 00:29:04,080 Speaker 3: and get despondent over it. 519 00:29:05,560 --> 00:29:07,080 Speaker 1: Yeah. 520 00:29:07,200 --> 00:29:12,440 Speaker 6: Yeah, having more income does seem to make you more 521 00:29:12,480 --> 00:29:16,000 Speaker 6: positive about your mental health. That could be the other 522 00:29:16,160 --> 00:29:17,080 Speaker 6: coronation correlation. 523 00:29:17,200 --> 00:29:20,720 Speaker 3: Yeah, reverse, Yeah, you're much more likely to make more 524 00:29:20,760 --> 00:29:22,479 Speaker 3: money if you're mentally Okay. 525 00:29:23,640 --> 00:29:26,720 Speaker 6: No meaningful difference in mental health between Catholics, Protestants, and 526 00:29:26,760 --> 00:29:31,000 Speaker 6: adherents of other organized religions. The differences between liberalists and 527 00:29:31,080 --> 00:29:35,280 Speaker 6: conservatives persist there, but religious adherence does soften them somewhat. 528 00:29:35,360 --> 00:29:37,480 Speaker 3: I'm glad to see there's not a big breakdown between 529 00:29:37,560 --> 00:29:38,760 Speaker 3: Protestants and Catholics. 530 00:29:39,600 --> 00:29:42,000 Speaker 6: Married people and people and well, I know you want 531 00:29:42,040 --> 00:29:44,240 Speaker 6: to start another Holy Warrior A big fan of Joan 532 00:29:44,280 --> 00:29:48,000 Speaker 6: of Arc.

I've considered moving to Belgium. I couldn't 568 00:31:36,200 --> 00:31:38,120 Speaker 1: find a parking spot because of the patriarchy. 569 00:31:40,000 --> 00:31:41,560 Speaker 3: We got more on the way, all those new stories 570 00:31:41,600 --> 00:31:44,840 Speaker 3: I mentioned among aple things on the ways to hear. 571 00:31:47,280 --> 00:31:50,000 Speaker 10: Tonic Driving is announced it will offer a pickle rita 572 00:31:50,120 --> 00:31:54,360 Speaker 10: slush made with a pickle juice flavored boba after asking 573 00:31:54,400 --> 00:31:58,800 Speaker 10: themselves what is the absolute worst thing you could. 574 00:31:58,560 --> 00:31:59,800 Speaker 1: Spill in your car? 575 00:32:03,120 --> 00:32:08,440 Speaker 3: No kidding, so you asked the question, I brought you 576 00:32:08,480 --> 00:32:14,520 Speaker 3: the headline.

So this 578 00:32:18,560 --> 00:32:23,840 Speaker 3: happened over the weekend in eight states. So I don't know, Like, 579 00:32:23,920 --> 00:32:26,600 Speaker 3: if they had their eyes on a bunch of people 580 00:32:27,080 --> 00:32:29,600 Speaker 3: and decided with the bombings, now is the time to 581 00:32:29,600 --> 00:32:32,480 Speaker 3: make sure these guys are rounded up, That's probably what happened. 582 00:32:33,120 --> 00:32:37,640 Speaker 1: Could see it yeah, but lots of different places.
