Ok, so

big NEWS of the day is obviously an Anthony Bourdain, the CNN host killed himself. He hung himself apparently at the age of sixty one, and this raises a number of serious questions about exactly how the american public auction free to decide what we can do to minimize the risk of suicide. First of all, let me begin by saying that if you are depressed or if you are suicidal, please call the National Suicide Prevention Hotline at one eight hundred two hundred and seventy three eight thousand two hundred and fifty five. That is one eight hundred two seven three eight

fifty five- your life is worth more than throwing it away. There are so many different aspects to the suicide epidemic. That's happening in the United States. Right now, really is an epidemic. It's not only celebrities is not just Robin Williams. Touches Kate spade it's not just Anthony boards. Eight, apparently, both Anthony Boarding and Kate Spade work. Apparently I listen. This is true of Kate Spade she was very obsessed with the Robin Williams suicide. What happens with a lot of folks who commit suicide? Is they become fixated on other people? Suicide? There is a copycat effect that happens with regard to suicide. I wanna get me some statistics on american suicide because their extraordinary scaring, as of twenty fourteen american suicide rates, skyrocketed to their highest rate,

in three decades. All the way to thirteen people per one hundred thousand, even his death rate from other causes, have declined markedly. Suicide is particularly common among middle aged white people. Are they see that would include Robin Williams, aunt, Kate, Spade and Anthony boarding? The overall suicide rate cleanse twenty four percent from ninety ninety. Ninety two thousand fourteen in two thousand fourteen over fourteen thousand middle aged White Americans committed suicide between two thousand six in two thousand. Sixteen this was I'd rate for white kids jumped seventy percent, the suicide rate among blackens, which is a lot lower general in the suicide rate among white children, jumped seventy seven percent. According to you say today, a study of Peter, yet pediatric hospitals released last may found that admissions of patients ages, five to seventeen for suicidal thoughts and actions, more than doubled between two thousand and two thousand fifteen. The group at highest risk for suicide are white males between fourteen and twenty one. So, let's begin with this, what is causing this uptake in suicide? Why is it that we are seeing suicide at record?

in the United States at unprecedented rate over the last three decades in the United States. What's it lets take some of the traditional theories we'll talk about whether they are right or whether they are wrong. So one of the traditional theories is that suicide is a factor of poverty that it's that, when the economy has a downturn, and you see increased suicide, there is very little evidence to support this. Very little of it is too slow, the idea that there is mass suicide on them on the way when poverty breaks and obviously the economy was well underway by two thousand fourteen. That did not stop the increase in suicide from two thousand to two thousand to two thousand fourteen and suicide. Allergy rate has continued to increase. As far as I am aware, up to twenty seventeen and twenty eighteen, when the economy has been extraordinarily good mean we had now to three point: nine percent unemployment rate. So it's hard to blame the economy for all this, So it is simply not true that poverty is linked to suicide. It's just not true, maybe changing in financial conditions linked to suicide like you're rich, and then he became poor, something, but in reality there is almost a reverse correlation between wealth groups in the United States and suicide rate, at least in some areas.

White people on average are richer than black people. On average black people, an average in United States committed decided a far lower rate than white people on average, due in the United States as well, so I dont by into the poverty, is an excerpt later for suicide attempt. That's been, that's been put out there by the media, and then there is the most popular theory that swing around right now, which is that bullying is what is called. Miss uptake and suicide. There's an increase in the amount of bullying, that's happening in schools number one. I don't see the evidence for that. I don't think there's any evidence that suggests the bullying is worse now than it was. Thirty years ago. So if it really work, about bullying than I don't see that our presidency, without have any impact on middle age. Why people killing themselves also the statistics on we are really conflicting. So there been studies that suggest that really is depression and delinquency and when people say they are bullied and then they commit suicide doesn't necessarily mean they're bullied. People who don't commit suicide are more likely to said they were picked on as opposed to bullied. So, in other words, if you acted

same way towards two people, and one of them said I was bullied, and one of them said I was picked on. The person who said I was bullied is more likely. A person is going to commit suicide. Just from the Gatt, though, and the person who says I was picked up- and I am speaking from a position of experience when it comes to believe I was viciously bullied. Nice was physically abused in nice and none of that made me suicidal because I was not a clinically depressed person and clinical depression and soon side obviously are highly linked together. So saying that is just bullying, and if America stopped its bullying that everything would be better again, that doesn't explain why the black suicide rate is so low. If bully and racism are so prevalent in american society, white or black suicide rate higher. Also, it's it's obviously not true that to acts of poverty. Point four moment: it's obviously true that poverty is linked to suicide, because actually poorer societies have lower suicide rates than richer Societies, it's almost a western phenomenon, the phenomenon of mass suicide and suicide in these these numbers. So that takes a few of the key explanations then put on the table off the table. There is a in arguments to be made

there there. There are several arguments be made about what exactly it is. Their causes. Suicide first of all clinical depression, obviously is linked to suicide and clinical depression can be conditional or it can be or can be. Just natural red meat can be genetic, that IRAN's run pressure, runs in your family or can be conditionally related, and one of the things that gets people out of depression is very often some cognitive behavioral therapy, where people are taught in psychoanalysis to essentially breaks the chain of bad thoughts that is leading them down a bit dark path. So people who are depressed tend to think that something that happened to them and therefore something worse is going to happen to them and if something worse than that is going to happen to them in this chain, is unbreakable, there's no way to escape it, and therefore, maybe I commit suicide. Well, cognitive behavioral therapy is designed Satan Well, maybe the bad thing that's happening to you isn't all that bad. Maybe you should taking second glance at your emotions. Maybe you should naturally humor your emotional state to the extent that we are humoring it right now. Now some people require drugs for depression and I am not anti drug when it comes to severe depression. I think that medic

waiting for serious mental disorders is it is. It is a good day. I think, if you can alleviate repression by taking Alexia was so. What is this lacks up? If you, if you can alleviate repression by taking some of the drugs that are available on the market, then you should absolutely do so if you need to. But the question is not why what to do when you have it in the question, really is why the depression is this. In the first place, I would suggest that there is a societal lack of meaning that it set in a precarious. Why that young people have basically been told that their emotional state is key, that your emotional happiness is key in prior generations, people were basically taught the emotional state was not key that what you felt about the world was less important than what you did in the world, and that life was a lot of struggle.

You had a higher purpose at a higher duty and that there are gonna be people there to help you out through the higher purpose. My duty, I think, would become more fragmented as society. Then we become more at a mystic as society, then we ve treated each other as objects rather than as human beings more society. Some of that has to do with radical up up taken in use and social media when some of that has to do with decline of religion there. There are good studies that suggest that, as religion decline, is religious communities decline. That rates of depression go operates of suicide. Allergy go up as well declining. Generosity in wealthier societies. Their studies to support this has led to an object in suicide, so finding a common meaning again, I think he's gonna be something that we actually have to spend some time doing that you, Sir, brushing this under the rug or suggesting that, if we're little bit nicer to each other, it's gonna fix everything. Everything that's correct. I think that there lotta people out there who are feeling that they, they led a meaningless life, and if you feel the leader me Was life and you're only method of meaning you're? Only your only

way of gaining meaning is to look at the superficial or look at french about social media or to gauge your life's work by your amount of happiness. It's a real problem! You see this with regard to opium addiction is well three dreamland by SAM Kimonos, all about the opulent addiction. Massive wave. That's been happening.

The things you talked about is the fact that pain is now considered and ultimate evil in american society that you actually use painters. What we call the fifth vital sign when you go in for doctors appointment rather check your vital signs at your pals. They check it blood pressure, they trickier your temperature and all the rest, and then they asked european level, and this is considered a vital sign that has to be alleviated what people been living with pain for thousands of years. But if your definition of happiness is avoidance of pain, then anytime, you experience painter, who had taken a lot more seriously than you would if pain were not at the top of your list for something that matters deeply finding purpose in life beyond personal alleviation of pain or personal material, wealth and happiness is going to be something that is necessary for us to society, and yet none of this is the key for clinical depression. None of the city care for people who have genetic predisposition to depression. None of this is a cure for people who are going to do. We need a pressing matter

but it is an argument that there are people who are on the borderline of depression who are tossed into depression by a lack of meaning in our society. I don't think that was the case by Anthony Bye, bye, Anthony Bourdain, Anthony boarding seems to me, like somebody who is suffering from some deepened some serious demons for a long time here, for example, Anthony Bosnian talking about some of the demons that he and his his fellow cooks sometimes experience. One of the painful enduring lessons that you learn in the restaurant business. Why chefs your tend towards the drinking too much easier? If you want your self loading and depression here is because you know experience teaches them again and again that people don't want the good stuff. The system, the bad stuff and re wrote in a lot of shit. Ok, so obviously this is somewhat even suffering for long time. You talk very openly about that there, the fact that he had a drug addiction issue and then suffered with depression for a serious amount of time for folks like Anthony Boarding, I'm not sure that there is,

necessarily a cure in the in the realm of medium and is a guy who had, by all accounts a pretty rich happy life. He was just suffering, but that doesn't mean that you right now can't help yourself. You should help yourself. Ok, there is no excuse for suicide. I know that is a society. We cited that there is an excuse for suicide and that there is a more there's, almost a moral, a moral side to suicide. The committing suicide is something that should be treated purely as a tragedy and not as moral decision lengthening gordian, leaves behind a thirteen year old son as moral decision and that something that we should be fighting against. That's that's blame Anthony boarding for his own condition. That's not to blame, Anthony Condemn, for I Anthony ordained for what he did to himself and he used to say that as a society we have to, we have to see suicide as immoral bad. We have to see it as something that is inappropriate as a solution to any ills and to glorify in any way serious problem talk about the glorification of suicide in just a second first, I want to say thanks to policy genius dot com.

Ok time at the glorification of suicide bombers

serious issues that we in the media have to deal with, and I want to start this conversation today, because I'm still trying to figure out for the media. What that I run exactly how we ought to cover issues like New born in suicide. There is something called the worker effects, for. The worth of fact is a very well studied. Phenomenon is essentially copycat suicide when a person who is very prominent commit suicide there. A lot of peace begin thinking a lot more about suicide, fixed, aiding alot, more on suicide, thinking of it as a glorious out and thereafter Robin wins death. The Academy of Motion picture arts and sciences put out a tweet of the Genie. Reg has rumbling, play the Genie saying your free, now genial. Cat sort of glorification of suicide is awful and actually promote suicide. Obviously the worth of effect is named after a book of this hours of young workers by Gerda. That book supposedly mean that the studies are conflicting suicides all over the continent, there were very young men who sought to such a romantic ideal to commit suicide just our walking round wearing the clothes the worker is described as wearing in the book, but whether it was true of the garter book or not, it has

and confirmed over and over and over in the aftermath, for example, of Marilyn Monroe suicide in the months after her death, there are three hundred and three excess suicides, meaning higher than average in the United States. There have been multiple studies on the sort of stuff, after that that show, by Netflix thirteen reasons. Why which essentially glorified suicide and said there were excuses for it that a normal person who didn't suffer from depression problems could be bullied into suicide ones. That show came out. Google queries about suicide is according to the Atlantic, Rosen Almost twenty percent in nineteen days after the show came out, representing between nine hundred thousand one point: five million more searchers than usual. Regarding the subject, seventeen out of the top twenty searches were significantly elevated. The biggest increases came with terms related to suicidal fastened, ideation like how to kill you in many european countries actually have laws on the books that prevent the media from reporting about suicide. Specifically to avoid this in Venice, they had a spate of people throwing themselves on the train tracks and I believe that actually change the law so that people could not report on that in the rates of suicide by throwing up on a train truck went down. No, I'm not

calling for abridgment of the first amendment or laws on this basis, but in the same way that I had suggested that my media It will no longer report the names or faces of mass shooters, I'm serious dickens. You're in changing the rules here, the Delaware. When it comes to coverage of celebrity suicide or suicide in general, there is something there to talk about in just one second called the propaganda effect. This is the counter argument. The media should actually cover all of a sudden. Propagating effects affect basically suggests that if the media covers this stuff in a positive way, if the media cover suicide in an attempt to dissuade you from committing it at this lowers the rate of suicide,

really only applies when you're telling a story about somebody who's considering suicide and then didn't do it. So if you're, covering somebody's actual suicide, is very difficult to avoid people having dark thoughts about doing the same thing, the public into effect is named after Mozart's magic, flute character because propaganda character and the opera, whose considering suicide than he's talked out of it by essentially three young boys, who are worst sprites or spirits, and that effect has not been all that well documented, is very recent study, I believe in Australia. They done some studies on the pop again, no effect, but the idea there is that the way to help make suicide must palatable to people to show them the stories of people who would have committed committed suicide. But then, then, did not go ahead and actually do it and covering celebrity suicide. We may in fact be doing a serious the service and I'm admitting that's what we're doing right now and if I'm reconsidering,

you know: I'm considering right now actively what we should do is media outlets with regard to coverage of suicide. So there are a lot of issues to unpack here, but I think that we all tend to go surface level when it comes to the problem of suicide in Amerika, we tend to think on the right that you can use bull your way through depression, but I don't think has generally true. We tend to think on the left that if we just cut out bullying and if we're just met, verges nicer to each other, then suicide goes away. I think that's true either. I think we have a crisis of meaning in our society. That is happening right now. Our young people dont know why they are living. What is the point of their life? Why exactly is an important for them to remain alive as opposed to killing themselves, and if we don't feel that gap with something than that gap will be filled with nothingness, and that's it. That's very scary thing we need to come to grips with that. We need to come to grips with the fact. Let happiness in life cannot be linked to the or your material well being and has to be linked with a purpose. It has to be linked with something that matters are people who believe that they are living.

These matters are far less likely to commit suicide, which is why you see that there is less of a suicide rate among people who are involved in community activities, not just Khazars community there, but because they feel like they are pushing towards something greater. If wheedle recap, for that. If we become this adamite society were all individuals and we sadly tweet our Ip Anthony boarding, show me see a suicide. I don't think that this this crisis is going to get any better and quicker. I think that we aren't. We have become cystic society that is very inwardly, focused and that hasn't pretty negative ramifications and pretty negative side effects, we need to start being other focus and that just doesn't that doesn't just mean for those of us who are not currently depressed reaching out to people war clinically depressed. It means that people who are on the verge of depression, depression is I've lived with people with depression. Wicked oppression is extraordinarily difficult to deal with, not just by the person whose dealing with it but by everybody living with a person.

If you ever been to house with somebody with depression than what you can't, you can feel at its little legitimately feel like there's a dark presence in the house with you and the more than one of the great wise, that's told about depression is the depression, is about lack of self esteem. Depression is about complete focus on self, for so many depressed people severely depressed people, I've people, I'm close- you have been suicidal, though, what from the outside? What it looks like as somebody who is so self obsessed, because they're tearing themselves down, they can't get out of it and the care to that is to get out here and had the care to that. Whether weather requires a boost from some sort of drug, that's quite possible, but the cure for that is Libby. On oneself- and it's a sight if we start living beyond ourselves, we're going to go a lot better off in terms of suicide, and we will, if we continue to go down this path of instagram, selfies and materialism, and the idea that happiness can be bought with a price of a dollar or they happiness is happiness, consists in

essentially libertinism it happiness, consists in doing what everyone, whenever you want to, do it, as opposed to living for higher purpose happiness, consists in living far higher purpose without purpose. We are all here for no reason and that's, I think, what what less is falling into. I think the West has fallen into a crisis of meaning that that is having a very time, a very difficult time pulling out of, but it does have some political ramifications and, more importantly, it has very serious spiritual ramifications as well. So I feel terrible mostly for Anthony Border family. It's just a horrifying horrifying stories. Him thing is true for Kate, Spade Aunt em again. If, today you are having problems with depression, please please go check out the National Suicide Hotline Prevention line. Please go check that out like right. Now, don't wait because you know you you're, like does matter. Your wife does matter than

but again is one eight hundred to seven three. Eighty, two, fifty five, eight hundred to seven three, eighty, two, fifty five! Ok, so I want to move on to president from at the g7 in just a second first, I want to talk about movement. Watch yourself, you ve! Let me talk about the watches right. You hurt me talk about movement, stuff, you when we talk about this this right here, this brilliant magical move but watch. This thing is great. Ok, spectacular, the movement Watch is clean. It is spare it tells the times. I can give you how many steps you walked in a day is gonna blow up your your watchword text messages. Instead, the moment watch is going to give you the time in the class is possible way and for a price that you can afford movements Our offices bunch a crowd, funded kids, a couple, a crab from the kids to college drop out. You started there on watch company. They ve now sold two million watches in a hundred and sixty plus countries, and they continue to expand the styles that they are making available to use a check out their site right now, their watches started. Ninety five bucks, a department store you looking at four hundred five hundred bucks for these watches, classic design, quality construction, styled man

wasn't get fifteen percent off today, with free shipping inferior turns by going to envy anti dotcom slasher Piero as envy empty dotcom. Slasher bureau see why the movement keeps growing check out their expanding collection. Again, these moving watch us whether we make their tacit gifts. So, if you're still searching for that fathers they give to new more make a last minute. Fathers dig if, by going to end the empty dotcom, Slasher Piero check it out and the empty dot com, slash apparel for fifteen percent off today. Free shipping for returns join the movement. I love all their stuff and the empty dot com. Slash appear: oh, go check it out that what's know, also that we say you ok, so meanwhile, President Trump is going to the g7 and he is in a spot with everyone at the G7, because President Trump has this bizarre view that we'll all be better off if you tariffs everyone. So a few preliminary points has been a lot of talk about how President trumps tariffs are gonna, be good for the american economy or how president trumps tariffs are somehow going to help us in some serious way. It is not correct. Ok, I've said if you want to use tariffs as a way to ratchet down

these intellectual property, that, for example, then maybe use it as a punishment. But you have to acknowledge that its punishment. It also hurts the american taxpayer, because we are now paying more for products and for all the talk about the tariffs that are being placed on american products by Canada. The fact is, the average. U S. Tariff rate is two point: seven, nine percent, when the average across all products that are imported, the tariff rate is two point. Seven percent, Canada's average tariff rate is two point: four four percent, so Canada. In the same way as the United States there, a bunch of lobbying groups that have lobbied to protect. You know sausage. Endearing

and various other products, but America has exactly the same sort of tariffs because of lobbying groups. Here where we have a hundred and thirty two percent tariff on peanuts. Everyone right peanuts are so expensive that twenty minutes or so expensive, thirty five percent on tuna, twenty percent on Jerry twenty five percent on trucks, sixteen percent unwell, sweaters. We have prohibitive sugar quota. So that's why we use torrents Europe here in the United States is because we basically tariff sugar out of existence. The United States does have a lot of tariffs on products so many other countries. We should work to remove all those tariffs but ratcheting up tariffs unless your goal is to ratchet down tariffs on the other side doesn't seem to make oh hell of a lot of sense and it does damage the american taxpayer. There's a story today about president trumps section to thirty two tariffs on steel, an aluminum imports, so, according to M m dot com which studies these markets, american metal markets, aluminum foundry our premium, a price closely watched by automakers, climb fifteen to seventeen cents per pound on May may eleven up. Sixty percent from the start of the year, the assessment for hot to galvanise seal coil rose to fifty four dollars

five cents per hundred weight on made. Thirty. First of seventeen percent since the beginning of the year. This means that the price of your car is about to go up in a pretty significant. Why there's a White House economic Analysis, the White House itself is acknowledging. The tariffs are bad for the economy. In a way, the President Trump refuses to acknowledge the tariffs are bad for the economy. According to the New York Times, The funding from the White House counsel with economic advisers have been circulated only internally and not public relief publicly released, as is often the case with the council's work, but the determination comes as Tap White House officials continued to insist publicly that MR from trade approach will be massively good for the. U S economy. The analysis conclude MR from sexual, hurt economic growth into in the United States, and that, of course, is no shock because there's always heard the growth of the country and imposes the actual tariff. There's been a lot of talk about whether Congress it can overrule President Trump. They probably will not, and that is an element of gutless on the part that was not on the part of the American Congress. Republicans, aren't every Republicans democratic

standing up on the policies bad, this is in your purview, and I understand that their republicans, who are very afraid that President Trump is too in skins on these issues and that if they react by stripping him of authority on that he's going to react by suddenly going in working with Nancy Pelosi in trucks, humor or something? I don't think that you can governed by being afraid of the President of the United States. Just I don't think the of of the United States by governed by being afraid of Congress. This system was built for checks and balances and trade. I thought he was not given to the President of the United States, whose delegated thereby Congress it can be removed at any point. Nonetheless, President Trump is now in a flame war with a manual mccrone who is the leader? France, so Mccrone was treating out against the president. American president may not mind being isolated, but neither do we mean signing a six country agreement if need be, because these six countries represent values that are present neck and arms market, which has the weight of history behind it and which is now a true

National Forest, and then he continued along these lines. You said the world have a text signed by seven. Countries must not be stronger than the content that text on principle. We must not rule out a six plus one agreement. So, first of all, I would just say this about manual mccrone and the Europeans. There perfectly happy to sign an agreement The round that was garbage but they're not gonna, work that hard to sign the agreement with United States. It seems like they might wanna work a little harder on all of that, but if he socking about tariffs and trade policy, President Trump is very difficult on these issues and here's what President trumpets tweeting president trumpet bonded. Why is the European Union and Canada informing the public that for years, they have used massive trade tariffs and non monetary trade barriers against the? U S, totally unfair to our farmers. Workers and companies take down your tariffs and buried are we will more than Matthew? Ok! Well, except that when we ratchet up our tariff barriers. They ratchet up their tariffs and barriers and it was Trump. We started this thing by rushing up tariffs and barriers. The EU has announced that it's gonna say imposing a sweeping round of terrorist about three billion dollars worth of yours products in retaliation after the euro after the White House, his decision to hate european steel and aluminium,

with duties from containing along these lines and said: please tell Prime Minister, Trudeau and President Mccrone that they are charging yes Mass of tariffs and create non monetary barriers. The EU trade surplus with the? U S is a hundred fifty one billion dollars and Canada keeps our farmers and others out looking forward to seeing them tomorrow. Lessons doesn't seem to link very well with previous previous answers, but if trumps worry here is that there is a is that there's a trade imbalance that just a dumb or aims are, economically speaking, that's ignorance. The here that a trade imbalances ban for the United States is foolish. You haven't trade imbalance in your grocery store. Everytime, you got your grocery store, you pay the money and get groceries. Zoos mean got screwed by a grocery store. No, it absolutely does not the national that the national doubts that these have nothing to do with trade surpluses or trade deficits is nothing great about a trade surplus. There's something terrible about a trade surplus. There are countries that have trade surpluses right now, then, as well as a trade surplus means nothing. The question is whether consumers are able to access the products they want to access and by the way, if there is a trade

deficit right. If we have a trade deficit with the EU, that means a bunch of U S dollars when you think they do at those? U S dollars when it can use them in Europe to have to expand the back area here in the United States, but they were cat, they what they call the capital account surplus they have to take. Those dollars have to reinvest them in the United States. That means either by real estate or they buy you a stocks or the or they buy. U S, bonds. So all the worry about the trade surplus trade deficits just it doesn't make a lot of economic sense. President Trump continues along these lines and says: Prime Minister, Trudeau is being so indignant bringing up the relationship using Canada had over the many years and all sorts of other things, but doesn't bring up the fact that charges up to three hundred percent on dairy hurting, our farmers and killing or agriculture

Ok, I also would like those trade barriers, but us rationing up our own tariff hurts our own taxpayers again means that we have to pay more for the same product which seems foolish and then president from tweeted. Finally, this is twelve. Looking for two straining are unfair trade deals with the G7 countries. If it doesn't happen, we come out even better. Well, that's not true. If we do not straight not that this is the problem with president from View Entre again, if you are using this actually ratchet down trade barriers, I'll be ok with that, but it seems like he's more than happy to walk away from the table without ratcheting down trade barriers, and that's that that's not only a waste is bad policy overall president front by the way suggested something very foolish. Today he suggested today that Russia should be added back into the G8. The reason that Russia was originally kicked out,

the G8, the G7 plus one is because Russia invaded Ukraine and now without them, getting out of premier he's suggesting openly that he should instead allow them back into the G8. This isn't make any sense at all. Here's what you had to say about it. I love our country, I've been Russia's worth nightmare, Hilary got it and I think potent is probably gone mad. I wish every one because, usually what I do, but without being FED Russia should be in the faded. Why are we having a meeting without Russia ring in the meeting? I would recommend up for them, but Russia should be in the way it should be a part of it. Ok, there's! No! No! This is this is just wrong. Russia should not be a part of the meeting. Russia is, in fact one of the leading sponsors of violence on planet earth. Right now they are responsible for active. Terrorism. Now they should not be in the meeting and for from to say this is just an act of ignorance out one thing that I think from his right about

he's leaving MID morning on Saturday, so he's going to stick around the g7 for about five minutes and then he's going to leave he's not going to stick around for sessions on climate change in the environment. First of all, I generally think the beast of high level meetings. Are our photo option foolish. I dont think that actually have anything to do with getting anything done. It's usually low level negotiators who actually get these things together but if they are for anything, is about showing solidarity and president from continues to avoid doing that. I think that good, not show solidarity on IRAN deal. I do not think that it is good not to show solidarity when it comes to a more open world trade order. In an and again that's out a new world were ok. That's I'm talking about I'm talking about you as a consumer. Have the rights pick which products you wish to buy or with whom we wish to business. Ok, so interest a second, I'm we get to the mail bag and also to talk about a leak investigation that has been going on, and that is somewhat troubling.

Conservative podcasting the nation is already so. I also want to talk about this big League Investigation Cell

according to NBC News, a long time staff for the Senate Intelligence Committee has been arrested on charges of lying two investigators, probing the potential leaking of classified information. The Justice Department announced on Thursday night a federal grand jury indicted, staffer James Wolf, whose fifty eight on three counts of making false statements in December about contacts with importers, including providing sensitive information related to the work of the Senate Intelligence Committee, which he served as director for security directive for twenty nine years, whose resting on Thursday is expected to appear in. U S, district court for the District of Maryland on Friday, his rest comes just one day after the full send it with little advance notice, quietly authorize the committee to cooperate with the Justice Department regarding what is described only as an investor asian arising out of allegations of the unauthorized disclosure of information. So what the week was according to Buzzfeed is the leak was that this guy had leaked information to Neuro Times reporter been able to report that the that thereby russian spies targeting Carter page basically to meet with him and this week out in the middle of the

investigation- and this is indeed an illegal weak and the Trump Administration decided to pursue it now. All of that is fine. Read the guy illegally leaked and you go to jail of illegally linked because you don't like illegal links with that said, the person he was leading to was apparently somebody who were that this report was leaking too. He was sleeping with. So that's pretty awesome. That's that's always great. Did the person's name is Alley Watkins Alley Watkins was was reporting on this. You published an article on Buzzfeed NEWS about this FBI agents. Initially approach Miss Watkins about the relationship she had of Mr Wolf saying there investigating unauthorized leagues, and then the Justice Department told her in a letter sent in February, records had been seized. Now here's the power I started getting old icy, so alleyway can seems like a piece of work, red shoes tweeting out recently that in a bid to she sort of like the character from a house of cards, repellent sleeping with an older staff or to get leaked information which makes perfect sense apparent

what she was doing, shoes early twenties and espouse in his late fifties secluded. This is the love match. Those happening right here, but here is as a serious problem in recent years from an Obama that its serious problem trunk does it. When Obama was in office, you remember he target the Associated Press, any target James rose and foxes by essentially tapping their phones and checking their emails without permission, and they were tapping his moms phone James, Rosen's mom sworn to try to determine his whereabouts in an attempt to determine illegal from the state Department that was bad stuff. You shouldn't be phone tapping journalists, you shouldn't be, let you shouldn't be wiring journalists, you shouldn't be in on in unwarranted fair, going after journalist, private information simply to lock down a league. It is the job of journalists to gather information and every legally conceivable way, and she didn't do anything illegal by reporting on something that somebody leaked to her. Here's, the guy who did something illegal so checking into her records, is a serious problem. It was bad. What Obama did it and you can't protest one insane

other is ok, no matter how much you dislike Alley Watkins, and I think that she seems again with a peace work, no matter how much you dislike the leak tapping journalists, none of the thing just as if you don't like president trompe, still can't tap him right. If that's what happened from tower and no evidence of that, but if you're objecting to tapping president trumpet from tower you know in the left says, we think it's justified they're going to have to really show how is justified. I don't see necessarily how this particular phone tap was justified simply because they want to track down the week or inside the government. Track them illegal inside the government. Then go tracked. Emily go inside the government, you don't get it! You don't get to offer private people's records simply because you want the information that they have at their at their at their best at their Beck and call ok time for some mailbag. So let's jump right in Christopher, says Haven when I graduate. School next year. I plan to pursue a career in teaching elementary school students. I understand the many teachers are left, leaning and I'm not. How can I keep conservative those laws are doing what's best for schools. My students thanks. I don't think that it's all that's have depends what great you're trying to teach, but if you can decide the curriculum, I think one of the things that you can do is just to sign. Alternative

ratings, so whenever the assigned textbook, as you use that- and then you see and hear some alternative duple it's on the same set of fact and that's a well well, rounded teacher. Does I think that that would involve us mean. I think that the best education that I got largely was not only through teachers. You did that, but also because I spent an awful lot of time outside of class reading about the material that I was reading inside of class. You can do more by exposing people to new types of ideas. Then you can buy simply going along get along. I think, as long as you're not gonna get fired Joseph Haven Lemme Graduate student counselling psychology, multicultural class would suggest to my classmates the when students feel they accidentally at a micro aggression slip when speaking their supposed say ups, but you feel micro. Aggression has been placed upon you, yours, pussy, ouch, in class discussions, then, in this situation of deciding whether to be over the top sarcastic, this being practised in class or if I should openly talk about stupid infants, how this idea is? What do you suggest? This is one hundred percent real muttered,

What what I would do is I wouldn't eastward stupid infantile, even though it is indeed stupid, infantile outcome in with a bevy of social science. Research showing that micro, russian culture is bad, is bad bo, RE, Jonathan Haidt peace with Greg Lukianoff over the Atlantic and the last year, all about about foolishness of the micro, russian culture, how damaging to people how it destroys our common space and how it makes people more sensitive and incentivize people to be victims, go check it out and then bring in a lot of data, then just Ellison. Here I have some real objections to doing this in class and here's one now can be participating. I just want to let you know, I'm not trying to The american lettering be rude. Hairs on the infirmary

in the U need on why I'm not doing this and why I think it's foolish for us to pursue this policy. There was his habit. Imagine John Stuart Mill, the other than your show. Could you recommend any books by John Stuart Mill so that the classic by John Stuart Mill, of course, is liberty by John Stuart Mill and that sort of his doctrine of utilitarianism? In a nutshell, that is his most famous work, obviously by he also wrote the book literally called utilitarianism, but you can get a really good compendium of of his, stuff they they make these companions from Cambridge Cambridge. Has these tax on looking one right now: John Stuart Mill on Liberty, another writings edited by Stephan Cleaning, go check that up his stuff is well worth reading. I'm not a complete believer in his brand of utilitarianism, but I appreciate his viewpoint on utilitarianism in government diapers The idea that, as long as I'm not harming you, the government has no business telling me what to do that. I that I grew Peter, says God, King Shapiro, while I'm not a logic that title from Germany born, have struggled with any aspects of your favorite, your belief in God. If so, what settled your mind? I mean, I think, that faith,

is a constant struggle. I don't think that you feel struggles and then you are and then and then you stop struggling a life is all about you trying to breach the cognitive dissonance between the fact that suffering happens in the world than you have difficult times in the fact that there is a plan for you and that there's a purpose to life and is a constant struggle. This is why in the Bible, the name of Israel Ray it's you, sir. I M in Hebrew that literally means struggled with God and overcame right. That's what it means from the situation where Jacob vessels with the angel and he's renamed at that point from Jacob to Israel, because he struggled with garden overcame what that's you overcome. Gotta means the usual. You just struggle with the concept of God struggle with is their purpose life? Is there a reason in the universe? I think absolutely there, as western civilization, western civilization is built on that purpose and reason, and I think the evidence is all around us not just in nature. I mean that's the easier.

As you will to nature. Look how beautiful it is. You look at the fact that you have a baby chug, a baby kid you're yet like when my kids were born, you look it down. You say how can you not be that I understand the emotional aspects of that look at the civilization that surrounds you understand that is unique in human history, and that is the outcome of the three thousand year process beginning at Sinai and ending with you here today and if you don't see the hand of God and that then I would suggest that you have not delved into the history of thought deeply enough or that you are. You are relying on a very reductionist view of materialism on your life, which I find utterly unfulfilling and very difficult to build. A system of thought upon. The dance has been enjoy. The show I understand your stance on trade may be naive and using it as a tool. I can only tell you from working in manufacturing if two sources of steel, if both me my design requirements and what is true for him and be using it, I'm not really

the buy American. I'm looking at the bottom line is that seal comes in with the tariff. Rather supplier becomes the primary due to cost. Yes, some of that higher costs may be moved to the consumer that questions use at the lower costs due to folks, like China, dumping steel below cost manufacture. Is that fair to other producers? How do you manage that inequity, while the truth is that there are always going to be companies that are under cutting you now? Is it fair joining that China should be subsidizing its seal industry? No, but I think that it is worthwhile for the United States than tariff Chinese, steel and disk, and in somehow undercut american consumers in more efficient industries I don't think that's right either because, as you say, what's it to you now have to spend more money on the seal supplier, or that means that you're goin we spending less money on your employees, presumably by your costs. One up see they pass them on to the consumer,

meaning that money in other places. Is it fair to you that you know have to buy more expensive steel because we have to protect some industry here as opposed to not protect met industry and the idea that, by the way China can subsidize all its industries, obviously intrude. China cannot subsidize all this industry is. You can pick a couple of key industries? It wants to subsidize their national security reasons, for example, that if we don't want America, steel production, droppin below a certain point we tariff, but we're not anywhere near that point right now and if China wants to wasted so money subsidizing industries in order to undercut the price of steel in the United States, that's their problem is our gain honestly. Their subsidy is our gain to a certain extent in that industry and its our loss. If we tear of our own people because a tariff is attacks on our own consumers, interim producers, Samuel, says Haven since my pencil become president a present from Impeach. You really think the policy change much if in the Austrian should left ever actually succeeded

raging drop. No, I don't. I think that president hands would govern very much like present. Drum has been governing he's been very conservative president trump to my great surprise and satisfaction, Jefferson's hat, as has happened. You mentioned recently how the media has been shying away from new report outlining the imminent demise of social security and medicated Medicare, which went expanding on this, and what options should be considered in addressing in resolving this threat. Great show greater tumblr. Why appreciate Jefferson so The media have been remiss in reporting on this beyond sort of the basics you haven't seen blank and cover it, that social security can be back by three hundred and thirty for Medicare will be bankrupt by two thousand and twenty six. That is scary. Stop we're not talking a long ways down the road we are talking about within the foreseeable future, like in the next ten to fifteen years. That means that we have to figure something wait. A figure something out is by totally restructuring to stop bring it down a local level, getting the federal government out of the business of social Security in Medicare altogether, putting it back on charitable institution.

Friends and community institutions at the at the outset. If we can't, we have to make the payments to the people who have already been guarantee payments, but if your younger, you should instead be given the opportunity to take your money out of social security, and you should be instead told to invite you should be told instead to it to put their money to invest their money in in stocks in bonds in in whatever it is that you choose to do also wish to raise the retirement age and something we should do right now. People are living longer. It is stupid not to raise the retirement age for people who are not already retired and, and we should look at whether benefits our cost of living adjusted. I do not think they should be because money does not legitimately like have sex with itself and then multiply into new money. That's how it works. When you put something in the Social Security Trust Fund, it isn't my grandma Paden fifty bucks a year in nineteen, fifty three and now she gets out three thousand bucks a month here that money didn't magically multiplied across as one of the centres for counter intelligence investigations and privacy. I dont understand what the rules are. If,

There is no evidence of crimes committed will counter intelligence investigations. You dont need, for example, a warrant to spy on foreign sources, do need towards this by an american sources. I, if you're spy on foreign sources and Americans get caught in the loop, then that is a more daisy issue, usually have to get it. As a warrant for something like that, we may have to devise a warrant for something like that. If your spying on in there citizens Carter Page, then you do need to actually go get a Pfizer war with court approval. Counter intelligence investigations generally require less of a burden. In order for you to go. Other information than criminal investigations, because american citizens are the only ones who can be prosecuted in criminal investigations in the United States and they have rights that foreigners simply don't in our system. A shabby says: hey bent my husband, I've been set

since we got married, you travel to Israel be going this year. The group are torn with, has done a great job of recent scheduling us pre, much everything you wanna see. While there is there anything the ranks of the top of the list to see or foods. Restaurants that are must try, while over there, thanks for keeping us informing, grounded thresher shall be so. The one that that people tend to miss on the tourist I is is thoughts has fought, is: is the home of cabalistic thinking, it's sort of the spiritual centre of us. It is the kind of spiritual side of duties and more spiritual side of duties, and I was the everything Jerusalem issued a visit. All the main points are you're going ahead. Massage obviously is pretty amazing, but I think that sport is one of my favorite places in Israel. Just because you can, you can feel the holiness of the city emanating at least the dedication of spirituality of the people living. There tells me artist colony, which is really need, like they have these little home, while shops on this block long area,

there is a whole new, I mean no bigger than this item, not much better informed them. Maybe three phone booth put together and they have all these different artist who put their stuff together there and they will cook you and they have it. Just discreet middle eastern food. They have like sat on a particular type of bread. This just a wishes so check out some of the indigenous cooking you can write? Don't don't you stick to sort of the chain, restaurants or the higher level kosher cooking, seeking do that anywhere? Instead, I would check out some of the sum of the roadside stands, as are those that are really good. There really good heritage, my wife and I are expecting first challenge. If few weeks, I was wondering, if you had Nepeian vaccinations, everyone has an appalling

each one is different. I liked you thought. Ok, there's not opinion at the suspect vaccinations work. Do it do it again? The myths about autism and vaccination are just that their myth. There be some bad science there, a bunch of crap. It is not true. Ok, people who do not vaccinate their kids, because their yoga teacher told him not to vaccinate their kids because they were listening to Jenny, Mccarthy or something doesn't know a damn thing about science. Its idiotic here we have essentially white smallpox out in on planet earth, because vaccination in vaccination is one of the great inventions in human history. When the great discoveries in human history and to not vaccinate your trial was not only irresponsible for your child is responsible for other children, because there are, kids, we cannot actually get vaccinations and require heard immunization in or prevent them from getting sick. I talked about this couple years ago. The ban was in the upset. I didn't merely an entire episode on this with regard to my daughter, who can now with whipping cough she'd been vaccinated, but the problem is that the banks in nations only that eighty five percent effective, which means you require everybody to be vaccinated so that there is heard immunity, deadly level of vaccination effectiveness skyrockets. When everybody has a vaccination there,

our externalities, not getting a bet, it's not getting vaccinated. So normally, I would say to everyone at your kid: it's your life, but I don't believe that we ve been able to help of your kid. That's ok! Number two. I dont think that if you endangers the help of somebody else's Kitticut who has leukemia vaccination because a whole week immune system, for example. This is power. Oh under any circumstances, get your could vaccinated. Ok, final question here just and says Burma Pennsylvania, I'm Pennsylvania, Highschool Senor graduating just a few hours after finisher podcast today, once I do adventure injuries myself to the public's fears of fresh consumer boys and potentially campaign for office at some point and advice on how I can get started thanks loved the show. So rain re read enrages rate. Ok, I think they're too many figures in the can. Movement and in politics generally we don't know the hell they're talking about or who don't know what they don't know. Don't spend a lot of actually cultivating the expertise necessary to talk about particular issues has been an awful lot of time. Research. The shall reading I've been doing it. For years we have six thousand,

in homer provide five thousand of them and that that is not meant as a brag. It is meant as an example of of if you wanna get knowledgeable something you have to dedicate enormous sums of time to it. So red right get out their report. It horribly prominent politics, give people information, they don't have not just perspective. Everybody has perspective, but information they may not have heard is a lot more valuable than than a perspective that they probably already have heard in some form. Ok time for a quick thing that I like and then a quick thing that I hate so a thing that I like today, so I just have to put this- was just fantastic local tv, San, Diego. There is a reporter who decided that it would be worthwhile to report. On what they call me inflatable run, which is, I guess, where people dressed up in giant like inflatable plastic things and they run around like it, it is called the adrenaline run- sounds like fun for a group of people. This was the most awkward segment of tv in modern media history, which is saying a lot. Here's. What to look like this is the world of inflation.

Balls give yourselves and ice round of applause everybody. These are just the volunteers. Coming here today I am Abbe who you're gonna have what kind of fun do you think you're gonna have today? that's a lot of fun! That's that's a good kind, helping just helping everybody Celine inefficient and what kind of fun do you think you can find here? Kinds all kinds of funds repay after me, Abracadabra one, two three! Now it's time to see what We see. Oh, my goodness. Oh, we rap

so yeah and than that that waking nightmare just arrived from the back me toxic, inflatable guy back there, while that is that, is it local television man? I hope it never goes away, because it is particularly so amazing, somewhat get quick. They ate already so yesterday we had been roads- the former Obama administration liar going around in talking about how we need the government to watchdog face, but we need the government's watchdog social media to ensure that we are not told bad information. This absolute liar now have Jim Scrapper, who also is a liar right, who essentially, it likely perjured himself before Congress, gems clapper. We have saying that what we actually need is that's easy for social media, so he wants the government's regulate social media to you're, getting the message that a lot of these people on the left are very interested in regulating social media. Maybe because they're losing the conversation They can't regulated here's gems, clapper, making a fool of himself. I believe- and I should like publicly to what we need for the social media platforms

is something I can't really commission. Would you say the nigerian twenties Toy Radio, and later television. We have nothing comparable for the socially aware once and as we see over that they like to just what you like themselves. I believe they need oversight and my waiting for my government perfect. That's just what we need. Weena government that wise to us regulating peoples that they don't lie to us is that things will just be great, so James Clapper lied in front of Congress. You know, that's he's gonna tell us, spend roads lied to the american people. He's gonna. Tell us you ever wonder why I'm a first met an absolute as this is the reason the personnel and absolute is keep these idiots out of the business of regulating the info given that you see otherwise, you're not gonna have the information that you need. Ok, we'll be back on Monday. I will give a wonderful. We can take time with your family. Enjoy life find some spiritual purpose. Just haven't, have a really solid, purposeful, weakened and I'll see her money
