Speaker 3: This is Gary and Shannon and you're listening to KFI
Speaker 3: A M six forty, the Gary and Shannon Show on
Speaker 3: demand on the iHeartRadio app. Well, Trump dropped the bomb
Speaker 3: that is nominating Matt Gates for US Attorney General yesterday.
Speaker 3: People continue to run around with their heads on fire
Speaker 3: about this pick. Today, Kevin McCarthy saying, there's no way
Speaker 3: this is going to pass.
Speaker 4: Muster in the Senate.
Speaker 5: That's where we start swamp watching. The swamp is horrible.
Speaker 4: The government doesn't work.
Speaker 2: Man, Make this like a reality TV show.
Speaker 6: Bad Noos.
Speaker 5: Always a pleasure to be anywhere from Washington, DC.
Speaker 6: Hey, Joe, a town all too clearly built on a
Speaker 6: swamp in so many ways, still a swamp.
Speaker 5: I have a batch of malarkey.
Speaker 4: Boy said drain the swamp.
Speaker 5: I said, Oh that's so.
Speaker 6: You know the thing.
Speaker 7: Well, in all of the preview articles about potential attorneys general,
Speaker 7: Matt Gates's name appeared zero times checked joining us to
Speaker 7: talk more about this. The shock and awful that was
Speaker 7: described earlier in Washington, d C. Joe Khalil from News
Speaker 7: Nation and Joe this name, this Matt Gates as Attorney General.
Speaker 7: It seems like the farther away we get from the announcement,
Speaker 7: the less likely it is that he would ever be
Speaker 7: confirmed to head up the Department of Justice.
Speaker 6: Yeah. And I think the reason that there was such
Speaker 6: shock because there was genuine surprise in this thought that
Speaker 6: Donald Trump would never name somebody that would have such
Speaker 6: an uphill climb to get approved. And that seems to
Speaker 6: be the case. I've been walking around today talking to
Speaker 6: mostly Republican senators. Some have said, look, Trump is entitled
Speaker 6: to nominate whoever he wants, and you know, Matt Gates
Speaker 6: would be someone who they say might drastically change the
Speaker 6: DOJ in a way they'd like to see it changed.
Speaker 6: But the majority of Senators who have spoken to privately
Speaker 6: and some publicly in front of our cameras, even Republicans,
Speaker 6: have said they do have serious concerns. If you're not
Speaker 6: familiar with Matt Gates, he has made quite a lot
Speaker 6: of enemies, not just Democrats, but Republican enemies. He was
Speaker 6: crucial in removing former Speaker Kevin McCarthy. But the bigger
Speaker 6: thing that's hanging over his head are these very serious
Speaker 6: allegations that he may have had sex with a minor.
Speaker 6: These are just allegations. He hasn't been charged with this,
Speaker 6: and that he may have paid for the sex and
Speaker 6: also paid to move for across state lines, which adds
Speaker 6: a human trafficking element criminally to those allegations. The House
Speaker 6: Ethics Committee has been looking into this for about two
Speaker 6: years and they were set to release a report on
Speaker 6: it Friday, but Matt Gates resigned yesterday after he got nominated.
Speaker 6: So it's on clear whether that report is going to
Speaker 6: come down or not. All of that's hanging over it
Speaker 6: and sort of driving all this.
Speaker 3: What are the chances that they knew something was going
Speaker 3: to be huge in that report, something in that report
Speaker 3: was going to be scathing, and to avoid that report
Speaker 3: nominating him.
Speaker 6: Well, that is sort of the speculation actually here. And
Speaker 6: you know the reason we got for Mattate's resignation was
Speaker 6: Speaker Mike Johnson said, if he resigns now, I can
Speaker 6: replace him more quickly because the House Republican majority that
Speaker 6: they just won is very small. Losing three Republicans to
Speaker 6: Trump's cabinet is going to matter so Speaker Johnson said, no,
Speaker 6: he resigned so that I can replace him quickly. But
Speaker 6: there's a lot of speculation that they just didn't want
Speaker 6: that report to get out. Now, I'm not sure that
Speaker 6: it implicates anyone other than Matt Gates, you know, in
Speaker 6: whatever alleged criminality is going on, but you know that
Speaker 6: there is some speculation there. So and then what.
Speaker 3: Where does that report go? What happens to it? And
Speaker 3: he is resigned, but that doesn't that doesn't follow him,
Speaker 3: So what happens to that?
Speaker 4: And is there any chance that that leaks out?
Speaker 6: So there is a I think strong chance that it
Speaker 6: leaks out. By the by the rules of the House
Speaker 6: Ethics Committee, by the letter of the law, the minute
Speaker 6: he resigned yesterday, they no longer have any jurisdiction over
Speaker 6: him because he's not a member of the House. So
Speaker 6: by the rules, that report should just remain dormant and
Speaker 6: not released in private. However, what I've heard is if
Speaker 6: Matt Gates is actually the nominee and the Senate has
Speaker 6: to review him and vote on him, they often for
Speaker 6: every nominee will get classified background checks, They'll get classified
Speaker 6: briefings on the person they're going to vote for. I imagine
Speaker 6: that report would make its way over to the Senate
Speaker 6: if senators demand in a classified setting to see it,
Speaker 6: because they've got to vote on this person, and you know,
Speaker 6: whether he's going to be the top attorney in the
Speaker 6: United States. Certainly alleged criminality matters in that sense.
Speaker 5: Yeah, I'm do we know.
Speaker 7: Have there been vocal senators in Republican senators who have
Speaker 7: said there is no chance Matt Gates gets in.
Speaker 5: Has anybody attached their name to that sentiment.
Speaker 6: No one has said it that explicitly. But I talked
Speaker 6: to Lisa Rakowski this morning on camera. She told me
Speaker 6: when she heard the news, she was not sure whether
Speaker 6: it was serious or whether it was a joke. You know,
Speaker 6: we've heard others like Susan Collins stay on the record,
Speaker 6: you know, what do you think about maggot says you
Speaker 6: have a chance to get through. She said something to
Speaker 6: the effect of every nominee is going to get a
Speaker 6: very strong vetting and of their character and their person
Speaker 6: and all their history, so you have to sort of
Speaker 6: read between the lines. No one has flat out said
Speaker 6: I'm not voting for the guy, even know, but there
Speaker 6: had been others who who said things like, are you serious.
Speaker 6: You know, I'm background who've told us not attaching their
Speaker 6: names to it, there's virtually no chance that he gets through.
Speaker 6: I haven't seen anyone on the record put their name
Speaker 6: on that, but that that is the sentiment that I'm
Speaker 6: hearing from many privately.
Speaker 3: Joe Khalil News Nation, excellent reporting, per usual, appreciate your time.
Speaker 6: Thank you guys, happy to do it.
Speaker 5: Thanks.
Speaker 3: The more I think about that, the more I think
Speaker 3: that's exactly what it was, that.
Speaker 5: Trump protect him from the protect.
Speaker 4: Him from the report as a thank you for the loyalty.
Speaker 7: Yeah, because I don't know what the policy is if
Speaker 7: he resigns before I mean the report, does it just die?
Speaker 5: Die?
Speaker 4: Tech guys, And he brought up Joe brought up a
Speaker 4: good point.
Speaker 5: What else is in that report?
Speaker 3: Who else is Trump protecting, even if they're just tangentially
Speaker 3: connected to Matt Gates.
Speaker 7: So when the name was announced yesterday, when Matt Gates's
Speaker 7: name was announced as an attorney general a nominee, Max Miller,
Speaker 7: a Republican out of Ohio, said most people in there
Speaker 7: in the House are giddy about it.
Speaker 5: Get him out of here.
Speaker 7: He said, Trump had plenty of other good options for nominees,
Speaker 7: but went with Gates to a reward his loyalty, and
Speaker 7: before the resignation was announced, this Congressman, Max Miller, suggested
Speaker 7: that if the Senate hearings on Earth knew and convincing
Speaker 7: evidence that the misconduct allegations against Gates were true, that
Speaker 7: everybody in the House would vote to expel him, much
Speaker 7: like they did with George Santos earlier this year.
Speaker 5: Or late last year. Sorry, I mean, there's no love
Speaker 5: lost this.
Speaker 3: It may just be a way of getting rid of
Speaker 3: him and he gets to keep his clean slate.
Speaker 7: A lot of people believe that this guy's a clown.
Speaker 7: Oh yeah, even members of the House who have been
Speaker 7: working with him. So I wanted to I read to
Speaker 7: you this piece during the commercial break, but I want
Speaker 7: to share with everybody. I was reading from the New
Speaker 7: York Times about Max Miller, this congressman out of Ohio,
Speaker 7: who said that they were giddy at the thought of
Speaker 7: getting Matt Gates out of the House of Representatives, that
Speaker 7: he doesn't have a whole lot of fans there. He
Speaker 7: said that he was surprised that Matt Gates would even
Speaker 7: agree to this Attorney general nomination. Because of the scrutiny
Speaker 7: that comes with that, the investigation, the confirmation hearings, the
Speaker 7: rigorous and invasive background checks. And his quote was, I'm
Speaker 7: surprised that Matt would do this to himself. I want
Speaker 7: to go get a big bag of popcorn and pull
Speaker 7: up a front row seat to that show.
Speaker 3: Is there a world in which he was named as
Speaker 3: the nominee for AG so that this ethics report, which
Speaker 3: was in its final stages, does not come out, never
Speaker 3: sees the light of day, and that he removes himself
Speaker 3: as the nominee before they can dig into his background check.
Speaker 3: And then he lands a lucrative job somewhere where he
Speaker 3: takes all the names connected with him and hides them forever.
Speaker 7: He does have a law degree, he becomes a lawyer
Speaker 7: for the Trump organization or the Trump founda.
Speaker 5: I think Trump Foundation is now defunct.
Speaker 7: But but yes, I mean there is that possible world
Speaker 7: where this is a ploy to protect him from whatever
Speaker 7: is in that ethics report.
Speaker 4: Yeah, that sounds like it is the most likely scenario.
Speaker 7: But as Joe Khalil pointed out, this doesn't necessarily mean
Speaker 7: that it's it's it disappears.
Speaker 3: No, But I do think it is predicated on what
Speaker 3: other names are in that report, even if, like I said,
Speaker 3: even they're just in Gates's orbit. Yeah, I mean, how
Speaker 3: many people are they protecting with sand bag in this thing?
Speaker 7: From the Kamala Harris file. One of the stories that
Speaker 7: came out in the last couple of weeks was how
Speaker 7: much money that Harris campaign was able to bring in.
Speaker 7: That in a matter of months it cossed a billion
Speaker 7: dollars in fundraising and.
Speaker 4: They blew through it to the point of being in debt.
Speaker 7: Yeah, now a week since she conceded the contest, not
Speaker 7: only has they run out of that billion, they're still
Speaker 7: asking for more. And in fact, a text message that
Speaker 7: went out just two days ago, a week after the election,
Speaker 7: rights or says high team, it's Kamala. The election isn't
Speaker 7: what we wanted, but I will never give give up
Speaker 7: the fight. And right now there are still a number
Speaker 7: of critical races across the country that are either too
Speaker 7: close to call or within the margin of recounts or
Speaker 7: certain legal challenges. So they said that the money would
Speaker 7: eventually flow to the DNC to help with those efforts
Speaker 7: like state recounts or curing the ballots, etc. But one
Speaker 7: of the officials acknowledged that there is some debt, but
Speaker 7: didn't really downplay I'm sorry, but did downplay the significance
Speaker 7: of it, saying it's not going to be difficult to
Speaker 7: pay off by the year's end, and also said that
Speaker 7: given the results of the election, it would have been
Speaker 7: worse to have lost while sitting on a pile of
Speaker 7: unspent cash.
Speaker 5: What a weird spin.
Speaker 7: No, no, no, we lost just the right way so
Speaker 7: that we could, We could lose with a certain amount
Speaker 7: of debt.
Speaker 4: We wasted enough money to care.
Speaker 7: One of the great wins from not great win, but
Speaker 7: one of the great digs from former President Trump at
Speaker 7: the Harris campaign is Hey, do you guys need a loan? Like,
Speaker 7: We'll help you cover the costs of whatever it is
Speaker 7: that you need.
Speaker 5: We wouldn't want them to go into any more debt.
Speaker 3: Than I've already listen to this one. Elon Musk's new
Speaker 3: Department of Government Efficiency is calling for volunteers. They want
Speaker 3: people to send in their resumes via x direct message.
Speaker 3: Doze wants to recruit quoting here super high IQ small
Speaker 3: government revolutionaries willing to work eighty plus hours per week
Speaker 3: on unglamorous cost cutting, then added with a post from
Speaker 3: his personal X account that this work would be unpaid.
Speaker 3: He wrote, Indeed, this will be tedious work with lots
Speaker 3: of enemies, and compensation is zero.
Speaker 4: What a great deal, laughing emoji.
Speaker 3: Well, this is the same pitch, similar to the same
Speaker 3: pitch that he told employees of X. Soon after he
Speaker 3: bought the company Twitter, he sent an email to staff
Speaker 3: asking them to commit to being hardcore and work long
Speaker 3: hours at high intensity, or leave the company with severage
Speaker 3: severance package. He estimated that about eighty percent of Twitter
Speaker 3: left the company shortly after.
Speaker 7: Wow, I've been seeing a lot more about that Blue Sky.
Speaker 7: Also more and more people jumping from Twitter to go
Speaker 7: to Blue Sky?
Speaker 4: Are you is trying?
Speaker 3: Is that like a playoff of old Twitter with the
Speaker 3: blue sky the clouds?
Speaker 4: Remember that wasn't that their thing?
Speaker 5: I mean they had a bird?
Speaker 3: Am I No, I don't need anything else, okay. Advance
Speaker 3: Auto Parts closing more than seven hundred locations nationwide. Closure's
Speaker 3: part of a restructuring plan. Roughly five hundred corporate stores
Speaker 3: two hundred independently owned stores will close by mid twenty
Speaker 3: twenty five.
Speaker 5: Called out here for a second, I went get this right,
Speaker 5: what'd you do?
Speaker 6: Well?
Speaker 5: Somebody misheard me?
Speaker 4: And is this about the Macax?
Speaker 5: No, not that one.
Speaker 7: Not about the Bronies either, But it was about I
Speaker 7: made a comment that Matt Gates might become a lawyer
Speaker 7: for the Trump Organization, and then I said, or the
Speaker 7: Trump Foundation.
Speaker 5: But I think the Trump Foundation doesn't exist any.
Speaker 6: Gary just threw out a statement kind of like as
Speaker 6: a Oh, by the way, besides, the Trump Organization is
Speaker 6: now defunct.
Speaker 5: Why is that, Gary?
Speaker 6: Why did they get forced to close down when Donald
Speaker 6: Trump won? What did they do that the Department of
Speaker 6: Justice made them close? Can you let us know please?
Speaker 5: Idiot?
Speaker 7: Okay, wow, it was the Trump Foundation, and yes, it
Speaker 7: was dissolved by court order in twenty eighteen after various
Speaker 7: legal violations came to light.
Speaker 4: Idiot, idiot, that's fun.
Speaker 5: It's not like I said it. Did I say it incorrectly?
Speaker 4: I said, think you were.
Speaker 3: Making a major point. It was kind of a throwaway aside.
Speaker 5: You're an idiot.
Speaker 3: See how it feels you've actually kind of really took
Speaker 3: ownership of that one.
Speaker 4: Did that feel good for you?
Speaker 5: I mean I didn't, well that I'm an idiot? Oh
Speaker 5: that part?
Speaker 4: Yeah?
Speaker 7: Yeah, yeah, it felt funny on my tongue.
Speaker 3: When location sharing is making us miserable. Story in the
Speaker 3: Washington Post today about how it is time to say
Speaker 3: I know that this twenty four to seven location sharing
Speaker 3: has invaded our friendships, our romances.
Speaker 4: Is it too late to go back?
Speaker 5: Where is he going? I'm sorry, I'm just how are
Speaker 5: you tracked checking my son?
Speaker 6: Oh?
Speaker 5: He is that? Oh? Okay, yes, I know where he's going.
Speaker 4: Stargarden munch.
Speaker 3: Ashley Reggie is twenty six, lives in Washington State, had
Speaker 3: a friendship go bad after location sharing spiraled out of control,
Speaker 3: with both parties checking the other's location dozens of times
Speaker 3: a day. I had to tell her, Ashley says, No,
Speaker 3: I actually don't want to know where you are, and
Speaker 3: I don't want you to know where I am. I
Speaker 3: want to go up back to how we were before.
Speaker 3: Or if you wanted to know where someone was, you
Speaker 3: would have to actually ask them.
Speaker 5: It's a weird.
Speaker 7: It's a weird thing, and we've talked about it many
Speaker 7: times before. If you have kids and you kind of
Speaker 7: want to keep an eye on where they are, or
Speaker 7: just double check and see if they're sneaky enough to
Speaker 7: leave their phone somewhere where they're not supposed to be
Speaker 7: kind of thing. You have to get into the habit
Speaker 7: or you have to get out of the habit of
Speaker 7: constantly checking location because it breeds distrust.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I for me, it's just a hard no for
Speaker 3: anyone to know where I am.
Speaker 4: It creeps me out.
Speaker 3: Not that anyone cares where I am or would check
Speaker 3: or whatever.
Speaker 5: Your husband cares where you are.
Speaker 4: I don't think so. I don't think you would check.
Speaker 5: Here's where you are. That's different, but again it's different.
Speaker 3: But again problem saying no. I just don't like the
Speaker 3: idea of anybody. I like my freedom, my autonomy. I
Speaker 3: like to go where I want to go and nobody
Speaker 3: know about it, right, Like, that's one of the beauties
Speaker 3: of when you get an adult, being an adult, or even
Speaker 3: when you get your first driver's license at sixteen and
Speaker 3: getting in a car and my parents don't know where
Speaker 3: I'm going. They don't know if I'm gonna get a
Speaker 3: left at the stop later, if I'm gonna take a right,
Speaker 3: And it's just like, I love that feeling of freedom,
Speaker 3: and if somebody constantly knows where I am, I feel
Speaker 3: like I'm in communist China.
Speaker 7: But you also you just opened your phone and didn't
Speaker 7: know if anybody was checking your location or had access.
Speaker 5: To your location.
Speaker 3: Right, Well, ignorance is bliss in that regard. I had
Speaker 3: no idea. It turns out one of my friends was
Speaker 3: tracking me.
Speaker 7: Well, and I'm not sure if it meant that she
Speaker 7: was tracking you or you were tracking her, although I
Speaker 7: think it does have to work both ways.
Speaker 3: Well, there was a thing where it said turn off
Speaker 3: my location sharing, and I turned that off, yeah, promptly.
Speaker 4: Not that I care if she tracks.
Speaker 7: Me, but there this has come up and I think that,
Speaker 7: I mean you would probably know as well as I
Speaker 7: do that the younger people in their relationships, this is
Speaker 7: a thing like this is it's a moment in a
Speaker 7: relationship where you shared the polibry.
Speaker 4: The password.
Speaker 3: Remember we know if Yeah, we first all started getting
Speaker 3: cell phones and that was the conversation of do you
Speaker 3: share your password with your boyfriend, girlfriend, husband, wife or whatever?
Speaker 4: And now it's location interesting.
Speaker 7: And it came up when I have a a I
Speaker 7: know someone I created her and she had the issue
Speaker 7: of when you break up with somebody or when you
Speaker 7: start the relationship, at what point do you share location?
Speaker 7: Oh man, I was kind of see to me that
Speaker 7: it's neutral on the whole thing.
Speaker 4: That's almost like controlling behavior.
Speaker 7: I hate that, right, Well, it can definitely be used
Speaker 7: for that, and that was the concern.
Speaker 5: As I was, I think you don't share that. Guy.
Speaker 7: I was generally neutral about it, but said, you can
Speaker 7: never be forced into sharing your local do not do
Speaker 7: not fall for that. But if you're trusting enough and
Speaker 7: you feel comfortable enough doing that, then I mean, you,
Speaker 7: why can't.
Speaker 4: You just shoot a text? Where are you at?
Speaker 5: I'm at the home depot? Hard If you're not at
Speaker 5: the home depot, you big liar pants.
Speaker 3: Well then if you're trying to catch someone in something,
Speaker 3: then you've got a whole other.
Speaker 7: Hostage, right, which which became the discussion like, if there's
Speaker 7: ever any point where you have to lie about your location,
Speaker 7: you should not be.
Speaker 5: You should not be sharing your location with that person,
Speaker 5: whoever it is.
Speaker 4: You should not be in a relationship with that person.
Speaker 5: But it's I mean, this is a weird thing.
Speaker 7: I have this because I've got you know, it's my wife,
Speaker 7: my son, and my daughter, and the four of us
Speaker 7: share each other's location.
Speaker 5: Both my son and my daughter have all kinds.
Speaker 7: Of people that they know the locations of of close
Speaker 7: friends of theirs that they have in their list of people.
Speaker 5: But I don't have anybody outside of those three.
Speaker 3: And then like, at what point in your day do
Speaker 3: you like go to the location place on your phone
Speaker 3: or whatever it is and look at where people are.
Speaker 5: That's kind of weird, like all the.
Speaker 3: People you you share with on one like in one matter,
Speaker 3: I mean, if if you can, if I can see
Speaker 3: my daughter in Texas, my son on the freeway, and
Speaker 3: my wife at home right now, But that's I mean,
Speaker 3: I don't know where.
Speaker 7: I don't know where he's I kind of have an
Speaker 7: idea of where he's going, but I don't know specifically
Speaker 7: Star Garten.
Speaker 3: Star Garden's got a nice Thursday lunch special, which exit
Speaker 3: he just passed, But I mean it's left.
Speaker 4: In the right. Stages are closed down until two, but.
Speaker 5: Well they have to clean them, right, Oh I did?
Speaker 6: Did?
Speaker 7: I didn't play this for you yet? Mark Zuckerberg is
Speaker 7: a musician.
Speaker 5: Did you know that? No? Yeah, Mark Zuckerberg apparently picks
Speaker 5: up the acoustic guitar every once in a while.
Speaker 4: Is this about booty shaking that booty?
Speaker 5: No?
Speaker 4: What was that line from the song yesterday.
Speaker 3: I don't know bouncing booty, bouncing off my bouncing off
Speaker 3: my booty, You bouncing on my booty, somebody's booty bouncing
Speaker 3: something somewhere.
Speaker 5: Find it.
Speaker 3: I don't know why you don't have it at the ready.
Speaker 3: It's one of our new favorite things.
Speaker 5: I don't have that at the ready. It's one of
Speaker 5: our new favorite things.
Speaker 4: I thought you put it on the special aboard.
Speaker 5: I did not put it on.
Speaker 4: Wow, Well it's hateful.
Speaker 5: It's not hateful, it's just.
Speaker 4: Didn't know you were such a homophobe.
Speaker 5: I don't know where it was.
Speaker 4: You don't know where it went. You lost it forever.
Speaker 5: I don't think I lost it forever. You don't have
Speaker 5: to be so angry.
Speaker 4: Okay, anyway, sorry, Mark Zuckerberg.
Speaker 5: Mark Zuckerberg did a cover of te Pain.
Speaker 4: Okay, there's a tea pain.
Speaker 8: I think it's.
Speaker 4: Damn your This is Mark Zuckerberg hoping you can suck
Speaker 4: it to me.
Speaker 8: Baby.
Speaker 4: One more ruining this song.
Speaker 9: No no no, no, no no no, does he say it?
Speaker 5: Yeah? Well, anyway, that's awful.
Speaker 3: That's the worst thing I've heard this week that makes
Speaker 3: the Matt Gates nomination sparkle Social Studies is a five
Speaker 3: part series fa premiering Friday at the Telluride Film Festival
Speaker 3: in Colorado.
Speaker 4: It will be arriving on FX.
Speaker 3: It is this documentary filmmaker's latest foray into documenting teen
Speaker 3: life in Los Angeles.
Speaker 4: She has done really well in this genre.
Speaker 3: She was the one behind The Queen of Versailles, the
Speaker 3: King Maker, the long chronicled Beauty, wealth and Power, and
Speaker 3: the damaging toll of excess.
Speaker 7: Lauren Greenfield is now She's got two kids, two boys actually,
Speaker 7: about fourteen and twenty, and has had to ask some
Speaker 7: very awkward questions of her boys about what life is
Speaker 7: like as a teenager now because it is so completely
Speaker 7: a turbocharged, steroid riddled And I don't mean that, I
Speaker 7: mean that as sort of a euphemism, but it's so
Speaker 7: much more than it was when we were kids.
Speaker 3: I feel like kids are isolating themselves more and maybe
Speaker 3: that's because maybe that's why they're isolating.
Speaker 4: This question, just to turn it all off.
Speaker 5: Probably.
Speaker 3: The series was largely filmed in Los Angeles, features teens
Speaker 3: from ten schools, including Pacific Palisades, LA and Hamilton High Schools.
Speaker 3: She shot roughly twelve hundred hours of footage over one
Speaker 3: hundred and fifty days, covering the twenty twenty one to
Speaker 3: twenty two school year and some subsequent months. She also
Speaker 3: recorded the teen's phone and so social media use, so.
Speaker 5: That I think is an interesting aspect.
Speaker 7: But when asked about what goes on, I mean, it's
Speaker 7: it's it's a reality. It's a documentary. So you get
Speaker 7: to see them, she says, in three different elements. Number one,
Speaker 7: the verite, you just get to see them sort of
Speaker 7: in their lives. Sometimes they're you know, they're posturing, or
Speaker 7: they're presenting. There's sometimes they're with friends, sometimes they're lying.
Speaker 7: The interviews where it's just one on one, they break
Speaker 7: the fourth wall and said that they're very honest.

Speaker 7: Is a group situation where it's just her recording their
Speaker 7: conversations between each other and said it's kind of almost

Speaker 4: put your head in the sand.
Speaker 7: You've got the parents also dealing with their own social
Speaker 7: media use and exposure and what they're modeling for their
Speaker 7: kids in terms of how they react to it. What
Speaker 7: can it does? A social media post then ruin the
