According to The 0:00:24.960 --> 0:00:26.000 New York Times. 0:00:25.680 --> 0:00:30.000 Bill Belichick used to make his girlfriend Jordan Hudson wear 0:00:30.200 --> 0:00:33.680 red pants so he could spot her in the crowd. 0:00:34.600 --> 0:00:37.040 No wonder he kept trying to have sex with Travis. 0:00:36.720 --> 0:00:44.040 Kelcey Man, never ending jokes. You're an old, fat rich man. 0:00:44.520 --> 0:00:46.800 You date a girl fifty years younger than you, and 0:00:46.800 --> 0:00:50.320 all of a sudden, you're a sport for people's comedy. Yeah, 0:00:50.360 --> 0:00:54.959 that's cruelty, you know, Just get alive. Now. 0:00:55.000 --> 0:00:57.080 She is told at least a couple of people Jack 0:00:57.160 --> 0:00:58.000 that they are engaged. 0:00:58.040 --> 0:01:00.560 Do we have? And has that been substantiate? It has 0:01:00.640 --> 0:01:01.120 not been. 0:01:01.200 --> 0:01:01.440 It was. 0:01:01.840 --> 0:01:04.600 They confirmed it on Thursday last time we're on the 0:01:04.600 --> 0:01:07.440 air on CNN, But I don't. I haven't followed up 0:01:07.600 --> 0:01:08.560 because who cares. 0:01:08.920 --> 0:01:12.559 But of course, if I was an attractive young woman 0:01:12.600 --> 0:01:17.360 who was a precious metal extractor sometimes called a gold digger, 0:01:19.959 --> 0:01:25.560 I could absolutely see saying to people were practically engaged, Yeah, 0:01:25.600 --> 0:01:29.840 we're it's definitely we're unofficially engaged and stuff, just trying 0:01:29.840 --> 0:01:31.319 to sink the claws. 0:01:31.040 --> 0:01:34.039 In a little deeper. Everybody said it wants preying up? 0:01:34.080 --> 0:01:35.200 Who wants preying up? 0:01:36.440 --> 0:01:36.640 Yeah? 0:01:36.680 --> 0:01:39.319 So Kanye, Kanye, who's in rehab by the way, We 0:01:39.319 --> 0:01:41.440 got to talk about that later. Kanye ended a rehab 0:01:41.440 --> 0:01:45.080 over the weekend, apologized never endingly on Twitter, to the 0:01:45.120 --> 0:01:48.640 point that Elon kicked him off Twitter again. But to 0:01:48.720 --> 0:01:51.960 eat Kanye's at one hundred and seventy five thousand dollars 0:01:52.000 --> 0:01:56.080 a month rehab something like it. I don't know an 0:01:56.120 --> 0:01:59.240 iota about it. I will bring you up to speak completely, don't. 0:01:59.320 --> 0:02:03.280 I don't know where to get better Kanye coverage here, 0:02:03.360 --> 0:02:07.680 I guess so I thought this was interesting. There are 0:02:07.680 --> 0:02:10.079 a couple of Oh, stay tuned. In just a few minutes, 0:02:10.120 --> 0:02:12.200 I'll reveal to you who will be running for president 0:02:12.240 --> 0:02:14.280 in twenty twenty eight on both. 0:02:14.160 --> 0:02:21.320 Sides, Yes, I do so, stay tuned. Is Trump beautiful? 0:02:22.639 --> 0:02:26.400 But it's just absolutely beyond question that the Democratic Party 0:02:26.480 --> 0:02:28.919 is in hell of a state. They don't know who 0:02:28.919 --> 0:02:31.040 they are, they don't know who to follow. For a 0:02:31.080 --> 0:02:33.679 third time, I don't know if the nation can handle that. 0:02:34.200 --> 0:02:37.800 The three peat? Good lord, what a nightmare, that would be, 0:02:39.440 --> 0:02:44.000 but they are their leader. Listen Rudderless. The only energy 0:02:44.040 --> 0:02:47.440 in the party is the Bernie aoc wing, which is ridiculous. 0:02:47.840 --> 0:02:50.560 They're running away from a lot of the policies that 0:02:51.120 --> 0:02:55.080 again have provided the energy. Defund the police, dei, anti white, 0:02:55.120 --> 0:02:56.680 anti mail, the rest of it. They're in a hell 0:02:56.720 --> 0:02:58.640 of a state. So a couple of things. Number one, 0:02:58.919 --> 0:03:01.239 this from the New York Times. Six months later. Democrats 0:03:01.240 --> 0:03:04.519 are still searching for the path forward, and they talk 0:03:04.600 --> 0:03:07.240 to a variety of experts, including this one gal who 0:03:07.320 --> 0:03:10.480 runs focus groups, which may be one of my least 0:03:10.480 --> 0:03:13.720 favorite aspects of modern society. That leaf blowers, focus groups 0:03:13.720 --> 0:03:16.839 and leaf bears both horrible. God, I got my son 0:03:16.919 --> 0:03:18.680 started on this now the other. 0:03:18.800 --> 0:03:21.840 But but what was one of the morning's beautiful day 0:03:21.840 --> 0:03:24.240 We're sitting out in the backyard, the palm tree in 0:03:24.280 --> 0:03:26.720 the pool, and it couldn't be it's like a resort, beautiful. 0:03:26.760 --> 0:03:32.639 It couldn't be leaf blower down the street, right, And 0:03:32.720 --> 0:03:36.720 so like fifteen houses have to be subjected to this. 0:03:37.200 --> 0:03:42.040 And I always want to say, I just want to say, 0:03:42.760 --> 0:03:44.400 if you turn that off, I can't hear you can 0:03:44.600 --> 0:03:47.160 speak up. If you turn that off so I can 0:03:47.240 --> 0:03:49.040 enjoy the piece and quiet. I'll come over and rake 0:03:49.080 --> 0:03:51.520 your leaves. It'll take me like twenty minutes. I'll come 0:03:51.520 --> 0:03:54.200 out and rank your leaves later. I love you. Watch this. 0:03:54.520 --> 0:03:56.680 The guy standing there, got one leaf on the lawn. 0:04:01.680 --> 0:04:02.840 Just looking at that leaf. 0:04:03.080 --> 0:04:05.800 He's gonna stand there and they will read that things 0:04:05.880 --> 0:04:06.600 one stage. 0:04:06.840 --> 0:04:07.560 To get that one. 0:04:07.640 --> 0:04:09.960 He could bend over and pick it up. He could 0:04:10.040 --> 0:04:11.840 rake it, he could kick it. He could do but no, 0:04:11.840 --> 0:04:14.120 but no, he's gonna stand there with his freaking blower. 0:04:15.800 --> 0:04:20.160 Is there anything in society so ubiquitous and so ubiquitously 0:04:20.279 --> 0:04:24.039 hate it as the leaf blower? I despise them. You 0:04:24.080 --> 0:04:26.760 know it'll never get done. But in our just in 0:04:26.760 --> 0:04:31.000 our neighborhood, our development, two days a week, even three 0:04:31.080 --> 0:04:32.960 days a week, I'll settle. I'll start it to I'll 0:04:32.960 --> 0:04:35.960 settle for three three days a week. You can freaking 0:04:36.080 --> 0:04:39.640 blow leaves all right. The other four days. 0:04:39.520 --> 0:04:42.680 No, or everybody time the gardeners the same day, which 0:04:42.720 --> 0:04:44.960 would be roughly what you're doing. But it seems like 0:04:45.080 --> 0:04:46.680 now people go out of their way to time it. 0:04:46.880 --> 0:04:49.040 Let's make sure there's a leaf blower going on one 0:04:49.040 --> 0:04:52.440 of these houses every day, right, and like, and. 0:04:52.360 --> 0:04:55.520 You've got an hour shift, You've got eight to nine am. Mondays, 0:04:55.520 --> 0:04:58.440 all right, let's take it nine to ten am on Monday. 0:04:58.480 --> 0:04:59.720 Who's okay? Excellent? 0:04:59.800 --> 0:05:02.840 Yeah, yeah, I know it's just a scene. So anyway, 0:05:02.880 --> 0:05:05.840 this woman does not run a leafblower. She runs focus groups, 0:05:05.839 --> 0:05:08.080 and after about two hundred and fifty of them of 0:05:08.160 --> 0:05:13.159 swing voters, some patterns have emerged. She likes to ask 0:05:13.320 --> 0:05:17.920 the folks to compare the major parties to animals. What 0:05:18.640 --> 0:05:22.440 animal is the Republican Party? Most like, how about the Democrats? 0:05:22.720 --> 0:05:27.880 And she said Republicans are seen as apex predators like lions, 0:05:27.920 --> 0:05:30.880 tigers and sharks, beasts that take what they want when 0:05:30.920 --> 0:05:36.880 they wanted. Democrats are typically tagged as tortoises, slugs or sloths, slow, plotting, 0:05:36.920 --> 0:05:39.520 and passive. One guy said, yeah, more like a deer 0:05:39.520 --> 0:05:43.279 in the headlights. But I thought that was an interesting 0:05:43.320 --> 0:05:45.880 method of trying to figure out what was going on. 0:05:46.600 --> 0:05:49.599 But it goes on and on, various study groups and 0:05:49.640 --> 0:05:50.120 experts and. 0:05:50.120 --> 0:05:52.960 All trying to figure out why the Democratic Party is 0:05:53.040 --> 0:05:53.920 so lost. 0:05:54.080 --> 0:05:56.479 Yes, Democrats got to be a scavenger of some sort. 0:05:56.560 --> 0:06:01.960 You're eating off of something that somebody else hunted and killed. Wow, 0:06:02.080 --> 0:06:03.760 that's a good one. Yeah. 0:06:03.839 --> 0:06:08.240 Well, and they talk about the trends of working class folks, men, 0:06:08.400 --> 0:06:10.919 white people, whatever, going away from the Democratic Party and 0:06:10.960 --> 0:06:16.880 it becoming just a cluster of hyper educated women and 0:06:16.960 --> 0:06:20.679 in a way that I think we've all noticed, fear 0:06:20.760 --> 0:06:25.120 and anxiety. There's one more thing I wanted to mention, Oh, 0:06:25.160 --> 0:06:27.520 the gender gap. It's swinging more and more in the 0:06:27.720 --> 0:06:30.480 favor of Republicans. 0:06:30.520 --> 0:06:32.560 For your ideological. 0:06:31.839 --> 0:06:34.520 Debates over policies, whether to push for a stricter stand 0:06:34.560 --> 0:06:39.239 on immigration, defend transgender rights less forcefully, or embrace anti 0:06:39.320 --> 0:06:43.800 corporate populism, are already playing out on Capitol Hill, et cetera. 0:06:43.920 --> 0:06:46.080 So they just they have no idea what they're doing. 0:06:46.720 --> 0:06:49.320 They're gathering at luxury hotels and spending tons of money 0:06:49.360 --> 0:06:51.560 trying to figure out how to win back working class voters. Oh, 0:06:51.560 --> 0:06:53.040 here it is. I knew there was one more thing. 0:06:54.560 --> 0:06:57.000 And one of the things that they're pitching, I'll tell 0:06:57.000 --> 0:06:59.840 you how it get back working class voters. Use the 0:07:00.240 --> 0:07:05.159 latinex a lot or Hertstree, Hertstree. Talk about Hertstreet, you 0:07:05.160 --> 0:07:08.920 know in our nation's Hurtstree, and teach little girls they 0:07:08.960 --> 0:07:12.600 can become boys. With just a little bit of surgery 0:07:12.880 --> 0:07:15.559 and some powerful hormones. We will carve up your body 0:07:15.600 --> 0:07:18.880 and turn you into a boy. Keep preaching that anyway. 0:07:19.520 --> 0:07:23.920 So various people were pitching various projects. One was a 0:07:24.040 --> 0:07:28.480 new twenty million dollar effort aimed to have reversed the 0:07:28.480 --> 0:07:31.640 erosion of democratic support among young men, especially online. It 0:07:31.720 --> 0:07:36.280 is coded code named SAM, short for Speaking with American Men, 0:07:36.440 --> 0:07:41.080 a strategic plan and promises investment to quote study the syntax, 0:07:41.160 --> 0:07:45.440 language and content that gains attention and virality in these spaces. 0:07:45.840 --> 0:07:48.320 Yeah, that sounds like a lot of fancy words and 0:07:48.400 --> 0:07:52.800 smart people who couldn't pick up on young men don't 0:07:52.840 --> 0:07:57.560 dig the whole trans restrooms thing or constantly being blamed 0:07:57.600 --> 0:07:58.600 for everything that's wrong. 0:07:59.080 --> 0:08:03.120 Ah, they do mentioned quote above all. We must shift 0:08:03.240 --> 0:08:08.200 from a moralizing tone, no way. Yeah, browbeating people constantly 0:08:08.240 --> 0:08:11.320 that they're bad unless they go along with your ridiculous 0:08:12.040 --> 0:08:13.080 radical ideology. 0:08:13.200 --> 0:08:13.400 Yeah. 0:08:13.480 --> 0:08:16.040 Yeah, that tends to piss people off. It wears them out. 0:08:16.360 --> 0:08:21.240 So here you go. Red and Wall Street Journal a 0:08:21.440 --> 0:08:26.520 profile of a man who is so clearly posturing himself 0:08:26.520 --> 0:08:30.680 to run for president. It is unmistakable not Gavy Newsome, 0:08:31.240 --> 0:08:37.560 not Josh Shapiro. Very very smart, very savvy, very moderate 0:08:38.280 --> 0:08:44.840 Ram Emmanuel hm Obama's former chief of staff, mayor of Chicago. 0:08:45.520 --> 0:08:51.360 He is very very smart, and he has been unmistakably 0:08:51.600 --> 0:08:56.440 anti woke, right, and he has the spine and the 0:08:56.640 --> 0:09:01.600 verbal talents to take on the AOC crowd and put 0:09:01.640 --> 0:09:05.720 him in their place, and would have no trouble doing it. Yeah, lost, 0:09:05.880 --> 0:09:07.840 he lost his finger at an RB's. I feel like 0:09:07.880 --> 0:09:10.079 that's a strike against him. But he's going to have 0:09:10.120 --> 0:09:12.480 to explain that to America because he was working. He 0:09:12.559 --> 0:09:15.400 was a young, hard working teenager trying to get ahead 0:09:15.440 --> 0:09:16.360 in this great country. 0:09:16.480 --> 0:09:18.959 Everybody else was running the sliced beef machine and didn't 0:09:18.960 --> 0:09:22.120 lose their fingers. But hey, you live and you learn. 0:09:22.360 --> 0:09:25.520 So he is direct about what he thinks Democrats need 0:09:25.520 --> 0:09:27.280 to win the national elections. 0:09:27.280 --> 0:09:32.440 Again. Party wrong. When you point the finger at someone else, 0:09:32.520 --> 0:09:35.640 he got three and a half fingers pointing back at you. Wow, 0:09:35.679 --> 0:09:36.720 just let me know when you're done. 0:09:36.760 --> 0:09:41.080 I'll continue on with some solid analysis America's electoral politics. 0:09:41.920 --> 0:09:42.040 Uh. 0:09:42.280 --> 0:09:46.640 He he called the party's brand toxic and weak and woke. 0:09:47.200 --> 0:09:48.880 Yeah, that's exactly right. 0:09:50.080 --> 0:09:52.480 He'll be the headliner at a September fish fry for 0:09:52.559 --> 0:09:53.680 Democrats in Iowa. 0:09:53.880 --> 0:09:56.720 I'd be rooting for him. He must really like Iowa fish. 0:09:56.840 --> 0:09:59.400 I hope he runs at the very least in the 0:09:59.440 --> 0:10:02.480 nomination fight to take on you know, Gavin Newsom in 0:10:02.559 --> 0:10:03.120 his crap. 0:10:04.040 --> 0:10:08.120 So it's gonna be Rama Manuel versus. And I'm less 0:10:08.120 --> 0:10:13.079 certain about this one. Marco Rubio, who I believe will 0:10:13.080 --> 0:10:15.840 be more appealing to the American people than JD. Vans 0:10:15.840 --> 0:10:18.400 because the band is my prediction. People mark my words, 0:10:18.440 --> 0:10:21.439 mark them. People can't vote for a president with a beard. 0:10:22.360 --> 0:10:22.680 Uh No. 0:10:22.800 --> 0:10:25.679 I think the beard's fine, and the whole mangled finger 0:10:25.760 --> 0:10:29.080 is also fine. It's it's a question of policy and 0:10:29.120 --> 0:10:30.079 connecting with people. 0:10:30.080 --> 0:10:32.040 But it would be got Cham. 0:10:32.520 --> 0:10:37.120 I'm not freaking Gavin, although watching him torn apart by 0:10:37.120 --> 0:10:39.720 the electorate and the media will be great fun. 0:10:40.240 --> 0:10:43.640 So there's a big Supreme Court breaking news story right now. 0:10:43.679 --> 0:10:46.120 We're headed into the time of the year, you know, 0:10:46.200 --> 0:10:50.360 in June, where they announce all their big cases and 0:10:51.000 --> 0:10:52.640 then run out the door so nobody can ask him 0:10:52.640 --> 0:10:55.160 any questions. But we've we've got one ruling that has 0:10:55.200 --> 0:10:58.319 come down today. I want to get back into Russia, Ukraine. 0:10:58.320 --> 0:11:01.840 At some point Wall Street Journal editorye with the big statement, 0:11:01.960 --> 0:11:05.720 Lindsey Graham with a major statement about it. And this 0:11:05.800 --> 0:11:08.040 could be a turning point in the whole war. Lots 0:11:08.080 --> 0:11:09.880 of stuff to talk about. Hope you can stay here. 0:11:18.480 --> 0:11:22.240 Video of President McCaw and his wife Brigitte pushing his 0:11:22.360 --> 0:11:26.240 face as they land in Vietnam is going viral. Later, 0:11:26.440 --> 0:11:30.080 mccaorn appears to offer his arm, but Francis first Lady 0:11:30.320 --> 0:11:34.120 wants to hold the railing instead. The ADZ Palace initially 0:11:34.160 --> 0:11:37.840 denied anything unusual had happened, calling it a moment of 0:11:37.920 --> 0:11:41.080 togetherness and playful teasing in a statement. 0:11:40.760 --> 0:11:43.400 See I bought that originally when I watched the video 0:11:43.640 --> 0:11:46.040 the door opens on the plane. You got the President 0:11:46.080 --> 0:11:49.079 of France, McCrone getting shoved in the face by his wife, 0:11:49.160 --> 0:11:51.440 and you see it, and then he sees that the 0:11:51.440 --> 0:11:55.360 doors open the cameras on a big smile. I originally 0:11:55.360 --> 0:11:57.439 bought the idea because I've known people who are like that. 0:11:57.559 --> 0:12:00.000 I've not been in that relationship, but I've known people 0:12:00.040 --> 0:12:04.640 who like she might playfully push him like that. Sure, yeah, 0:12:04.679 --> 0:12:07.520 and it's no big deal. The fact that he offered 0:12:07.600 --> 0:12:10.200 her his arm as they headed down the stairs, and 0:12:10.240 --> 0:12:12.320 she just stared straight ahead and didn't take it. That 0:12:12.480 --> 0:12:15.080 means that was not some sort of playful push. They 0:12:15.080 --> 0:12:16.320 were actually having an argument. 0:12:16.360 --> 0:12:20.120 To me body language segment, Yeah, absolutely true. 0:12:20.320 --> 0:12:23.920 I watched it. I had no doubt. Yeah, she was pissed. 0:12:24.400 --> 0:12:28.600 She has pissed off at him. Yeah, how very French 0:12:28.640 --> 0:12:34.840 of him surrender to his old wife. Anyway, this headline 0:12:34.920 --> 0:12:38.000 last week, I was worried about reading. It turned out 0:12:38.000 --> 0:12:41.680 to be a nothing jurors a ditty trial, learn of 0:12:41.679 --> 0:12:46.280 the disgusting way he likes his burgers. Ex employs testify, 0:12:46.600 --> 0:12:49.120 and given everything that has come out of the ditty trial, 0:12:49.160 --> 0:12:51.640 I thought, oh my god, what does he put on 0:12:51.640 --> 0:12:54.360 his burgers? What does he make people do? And then 0:12:54.400 --> 0:12:57.360 the the Levins, I thought this is gonna be this 0:12:57.440 --> 0:13:00.000 is gonna be so gross. But no, he likes apple 0:13:00.080 --> 0:13:01.880 sauce on his burgers, which is kind of weird and 0:13:01.920 --> 0:13:04.440 I've never heard of that. I wouldn't call it. Given 0:13:04.480 --> 0:13:08.080 the context of the trial and some really disgusting things 0:13:08.080 --> 0:13:09.640 that are happening, I wouldn't. 0:13:09.320 --> 0:13:13.360 Call it a smon beating rapist. That's the The apple 0:13:13.400 --> 0:13:15.199 sauce is not the disgusting poll. 0:13:14.920 --> 0:13:17.199 On their yurinination has played a role. I mean, there's 0:13:17.200 --> 0:13:19.920 all lots of disgusting things in this trial. Apple sauce 0:13:19.960 --> 0:13:22.560 in your burgers doesn't count as disgusting in that context. 0:13:22.800 --> 0:13:26.160 It's odd. I haven't tried it. I'm not like it. 0:13:27.800 --> 0:13:31.280 Also breaking news last week, the penny is finally going 0:13:31.320 --> 0:13:34.240 away sometime next year. The penny they will make the 0:13:34.360 --> 0:13:36.640 last penny at the us Men. The us Men has 0:13:36.640 --> 0:13:40.560 placed its final order for penny blanks will stop producing 0:13:40.640 --> 0:13:44.520 the coin when those run out early next year, marking 0:13:44.600 --> 0:13:48.199 the beginning of the end of the oldest continually printed 0:13:48.600 --> 0:13:53.120 money piece in America, the Treasury announced last week. I 0:13:53.320 --> 0:13:56.240 just think this is such a good example of why 0:13:57.040 --> 0:14:02.280 can only Trump do some things like this? Why is that. 0:14:04.679 --> 0:14:10.360 He just lacks everybody else's tendency toward inertia. Inertia plays 0:14:10.400 --> 0:14:13.800 a huge role in government. You know, we've talked about it. 0:14:13.920 --> 0:14:17.240 You start a program, it's forever. But we start a bureaucracy. 0:14:17.280 --> 0:14:18.200 All it does is grow. 0:14:18.679 --> 0:14:22.560 But whether it's something important, like now, Jerusalem is a 0:14:22.640 --> 0:14:26.120 capital of Israel. Everybody treats that's in the capitol. From 0:14:26.160 --> 0:14:29.000 now on, it's the capital. Whether it's that that every 0:14:29.080 --> 0:14:31.320 president in my lifetime has said they were gonna do 0:14:31.600 --> 0:14:34.400 but didn't because focus groups are think tanks or whatever. 0:14:34.600 --> 0:14:37.440 He doesn't. And then the penny, which is not important, 0:14:38.520 --> 0:14:41.360 but just everybody's talked about it. But what are you 0:14:41.440 --> 0:14:43.880 afraid you'd be blamed by history or something. I don't know. 0:14:43.920 --> 0:14:46.560 It just seems so crazy to me, or that, you know, 0:14:46.680 --> 0:14:49.080 commerce would come to a halt or something. It's absurd 0:14:49.160 --> 0:14:51.560 when you think about it. I mean, because way back 0:14:51.600 --> 0:14:54.960 in the day in England they had the haypenny frequently 0:14:55.880 --> 0:14:58.600 or probably featured in the Christmas is Coming the Goose 0:14:58.720 --> 0:15:02.520 is Getting Fat song, know that one. There's no hay 0:15:02.640 --> 0:15:05.200 penny anymore. You know why, because that's an absurdly small 0:15:05.280 --> 0:15:08.640 denomination of money. Given the current value of the pound 0:15:08.760 --> 0:15:09.360 or the dollar in this. 0:15:09.440 --> 0:15:11.800 Case, there's no reason for it. Likewise, the penny. 0:15:12.120 --> 0:15:15.000 If the penny existed when a dollar could buy you 0:15:15.160 --> 0:15:17.000 a horse, the penny. 0:15:16.840 --> 0:15:17.800 Should not exist. 0:15:18.000 --> 0:15:18.200 Now. 0:15:18.360 --> 0:15:22.440 It's an absurdly small denomination, sure, obviously, and has been 0:15:22.520 --> 0:15:24.720 for quite some time. And then with the most recent 0:15:24.760 --> 0:15:27.120 inflation it just took it to the next level. Plus 0:15:27.160 --> 0:15:28.880 you got the fact that it costs three cents to 0:15:28.920 --> 0:15:33.200 make a penny, which is dumb. It makes it costs 0:15:33.320 --> 0:15:36.280 like seven cents to make a nickel. There's talk of 0:15:36.400 --> 0:15:41.000 doing away with the nickel. I don't know, yeah, boy, 0:15:41.280 --> 0:15:44.240 nickels probably what a penny was not that long ago. 0:15:45.000 --> 0:15:48.040 If you were to start right now and say to people, 0:15:48.080 --> 0:15:50.200 all right, here's what you can buy for a dollar, 0:15:50.560 --> 0:15:53.160 you know, various examples of it, and it wouldn't be much, 0:15:53.640 --> 0:15:57.240 and said, the smallest increment we're going to have is 0:15:57.320 --> 0:15:58.720 a tenth of a dollar. 0:15:59.240 --> 0:16:01.680 So what can it dollar buy? It like a candy bar? 0:16:01.960 --> 0:16:02.200 Maybe? 0:16:03.400 --> 0:16:05.800 Yeah. I don't often have a dollar in my mitt 0:16:05.880 --> 0:16:08.200 looking to buy something, So I don't know if I 0:16:08.280 --> 0:16:09.920 go to the dollar store a fair amount because my 0:16:10.000 --> 0:16:12.880 son really likes him. So give me, give me an example. 0:16:13.080 --> 0:16:15.840 What can you buy for a dollar? A variety of cheap, plastic, 0:16:16.000 --> 0:16:17.280 crappy things that are worth while. 0:16:17.360 --> 0:16:20.320 Ye, So the smallest denomination we're gonna have is one 0:16:20.640 --> 0:16:23.800 tenth of what it takes to buy a cheap, crappy 0:16:23.960 --> 0:16:27.520 plastic whatever. People will say, Yeah, that's that's plenty small, 0:16:27.560 --> 0:16:28.800 that's plenty fine enough. 0:16:29.040 --> 0:16:31.480 Yeah, the dime is where, Yeah, the dime should probably 0:16:31.560 --> 0:16:34.640 be the smallest denomination, and we actually do okay on 0:16:34.720 --> 0:16:36.520 the dime in terms of it's about a break even 0:16:36.520 --> 0:16:39.000 of what it costs to make a dime, right. And 0:16:39.240 --> 0:16:40.320 I was shocked the other day. 0:16:40.320 --> 0:16:43.120 I did an inflation calculator from I think was the 0:16:43.240 --> 0:16:46.800 eighties to the present day, and it was I don't 0:16:46.800 --> 0:16:48.520 remember the number, and I don't want to mislead, but 0:16:48.600 --> 0:16:51.440 it was multiples. It was not like, wow, this is 0:16:52.480 --> 0:16:56.359 a third or less everybody's more expensive. No, it's like quadruple. 0:16:56.440 --> 0:16:58.920 Everybody should do that to have a really realistic view 0:16:58.960 --> 0:17:01.320 of what your salary is or what your house costs 0:17:01.400 --> 0:17:04.119 or whatever, compared to like when you were a kid 0:17:04.240 --> 0:17:05.400 and aware of those things. 0:17:05.840 --> 0:17:11.119 It's shocking coming up some impactful, important stories about the world. Plus, 0:17:11.520 --> 0:17:13.720 is it better to shower in the morning or at night? 0:17:14.560 --> 0:17:18.000 There is a clear answer from science. Okay, Well, that 0:17:18.119 --> 0:17:20.080 was us MIT talk. We'll see you next two day. 0:17:20.960 --> 0:17:22.480 Armstrong and Getty. 0:17:24.680 --> 0:17:28.520 Of US high school students reported feeling sad or hopeless 0:17:28.640 --> 0:17:32.920 in twenty twenty three, and twenty percent had seriously considered 0:17:32.960 --> 0:17:34.199 attempting suicide. 0:17:34.920 --> 0:17:39.800 I appreciated that Meet the Press on Sunday did not 0:17:40.119 --> 0:17:45.080 go with the usual news of the day, particularly around 0:17:45.320 --> 0:17:49.359 Donald Trump. They went with the crisis that we've talked 0:17:49.400 --> 0:17:52.640 about a lot and should be treated like a crisis, 0:17:52.760 --> 0:17:57.320 that people are lonelier than ever, young people are killing 0:17:57.359 --> 0:18:01.639 themselves and taking medications to deal with anxiety, and all 0:18:01.680 --> 0:18:03.359 of the blah blah blah. We know all this stuff 0:18:03.920 --> 0:18:06.480 as being like a lead story, which it is should 0:18:06.520 --> 0:18:09.920 be a lead story, the lead story every week. B 0:18:10.119 --> 0:18:14.480 this is what Trump did yesterday for the cynical about 0:18:14.480 --> 0:18:14.920 these people. 0:18:15.000 --> 0:18:17.640 I wonder whether they're doing that for the right reason 0:18:17.720 --> 0:18:19.760 or if their ratings are just dropping off with never 0:18:19.880 --> 0:18:22.439 ending Trump hysteria. But anyway, back to the very very 0:18:22.480 --> 0:18:23.120 important topic. 0:18:23.720 --> 0:18:25.600 Let's hear a little more from Christian Walker of Meet 0:18:25.640 --> 0:18:27.280 the Press laying out some of the facts here. 0:18:27.600 --> 0:18:31.160 The mental health crisis in America is impacting young people 0:18:31.320 --> 0:18:35.080 in profound ways, and public health officials say it is 0:18:35.160 --> 0:18:39.719 an emergency. Two thirds of gen z report feelings of loneliness, 0:18:40.080 --> 0:18:43.800 and half of young adults report symptoms of anxiety and depression. 0:18:44.440 --> 0:18:47.520 Youth suicide rates are climbing. It is now one of 0:18:47.600 --> 0:18:50.920 the leading causes of death in adolescents and young adults. 0:18:51.600 --> 0:18:55.040 Almost one in five young adults report rarely or never 0:18:55.240 --> 0:18:59.480 receiving the social support they need. In our super connected times, 0:18:59.560 --> 0:19:03.680 over fifty five million US adults report frequent loneliness. The 0:19:03.880 --> 0:19:06.639 smartphones and social media apps that connect us to the 0:19:06.680 --> 0:19:08.800 world are also accelerating the crisis. 0:19:10.040 --> 0:19:15.760 Yeah, we all know that. That's one thing about this story. 0:19:15.880 --> 0:19:19.960 I feel like every single time we quickly get to smartphones, 0:19:20.119 --> 0:19:24.800 social media and everybody's aware of this already, there's a 0:19:24.840 --> 0:19:27.680 lot like there's not like the next sentence or the 0:19:27.760 --> 0:19:35.119 next whatever comes after that. So we should what make it? 0:19:35.280 --> 0:19:37.600 Have Superman fly around the world where really fast and 0:19:37.680 --> 0:19:40.639 turn back time to be four smartphones. If that were possible, 0:19:40.680 --> 0:19:41.320 I'd be all for it. 0:19:42.200 --> 0:19:44.840 Right, I'm trying to remember there was a great phrase 0:19:45.000 --> 0:19:48.680 by Caitlin Flanagan I think who wrote that we're drowning 0:19:48.760 --> 0:19:49.200 in the stuff. 0:19:49.240 --> 0:19:51.879 It's killing us, but we like it under the water. Ahh, 0:19:52.480 --> 0:19:56.600 that's pretty good. Yeah, that's pretty good. Now, combining a 0:19:56.680 --> 0:19:59.920 couple of things that are related and not related, I guess. 0:20:00.440 --> 0:20:04.000 So this Netflix show Adolescence that's getting a tremendous amount 0:20:04.040 --> 0:20:08.399 of attention. It's already got one hundred and fourteen million views, 0:20:08.840 --> 0:20:12.000 which is a lot compared to like regular TV shows, 0:20:12.640 --> 0:20:16.360 it's based on a horrifying story of a middle schooler 0:20:16.680 --> 0:20:20.159 boy who murdered his classmate girl. And one of the 0:20:20.200 --> 0:20:22.879 reasons it's getting a fair amount of attention by The 0:20:22.960 --> 0:20:25.639 New York Times, and Gavin Newsom talked about how he 0:20:25.680 --> 0:20:28.080 had to turn it off was horrifying, is because they 0:20:28.160 --> 0:20:34.320 present a lot of it as right wing, toxic masculinity 0:20:34.400 --> 0:20:37.000 that is caught on on social media and the Tate 0:20:37.080 --> 0:20:40.760 Brothers and that sort of stuff. But and it goes 0:20:40.800 --> 0:20:45.080 too far. All of that stuff is true, but it 0:20:45.520 --> 0:20:48.800 leaves out, you know, there's plenty on all sides of 0:20:49.000 --> 0:20:51.680 what's wrong with social media and what it's doing to 0:20:51.800 --> 0:20:59.560 people and their worldviews, especially young men. And then this 0:20:59.720 --> 0:21:02.240 story worry that also fits into what I think is 0:21:02.320 --> 0:21:05.440 this thing it became a TikTok craze, but the I 0:21:05.520 --> 0:21:07.720 think there's a lot of truth in it. It's the 0:21:07.880 --> 0:21:12.440 idea of men calling each other at night and saying, hey, 0:21:12.720 --> 0:21:14.720 just want to say good night to you. You know 0:21:14.840 --> 0:21:18.119 you're a good friend, and saying good night. And I 0:21:18.280 --> 0:21:24.919 thought that's because that's a thing that usually gets taken 0:21:25.080 --> 0:21:29.320 care of by having a girlfriend or wife or boyfriend 0:21:29.400 --> 0:21:32.399 or husband if you're gay, but you you have a 0:21:32.560 --> 0:21:35.760 relationship of somebody that's going to text you goodnight, call 0:21:35.880 --> 0:21:38.000 you good night, or is in bed next to you, 0:21:38.800 --> 0:21:41.520 and so many people don't. Now it was kind of 0:21:41.560 --> 0:21:43.959 presented as like a joke, but I could see how 0:21:44.040 --> 0:21:45.920 that could be a thing. I'm not going to do it, 0:21:46.000 --> 0:21:47.800 but I could see how that could be a thing 0:21:47.800 --> 0:21:50.600 because you're lacking that in your life. Nobody at the 0:21:50.720 --> 0:21:53.280 end of the day that says, yeah, I'm thinking about you, goodnight, 0:21:53.720 --> 0:21:55.880 miss you, something like that. Yeah. 0:21:57.600 --> 0:22:03.160
