electricity. the fundamental pieces of lights have been robbed from them the biggest thing is just to see the humanity in these people. i've been trying to make beautiful pieces, but also i've found this voice through watching these injustices and now i'm just trying to speak with it using the crafts and the talents that i have well for more of myron's work, you can check out the elephant room gallery in chicago or visit myron's instagram or website >> myron lebon thank you so much for joining me today. i will see you back here next saturday at 8:00 a.m. eastern smerconish. he is up next

>> it's time to mingle. i, michael smerconish in philadelphia. i want to recommend a new book currently, the number one new york times best seller, the anxious generation, written by jonathan height who will be here in just a moment. he joins a long list of radio and tv guests of mine who've written books that read individually are interesting but collectively they fit together like pieces of a puzzle. and they project an alarming finished picture. we're replacing real life human encounters that produce meaningful relationships with inch deep online connections. it's poisoning our politics and harming our kids robert putnam saw it coming in 2000 when he published bowling alone. putnam said that a community's level of social capital is determined by relationships forged when we joined clubs associate with our neighbors read local newspapers and yes, join a bowling league. he offered suggestions on reconnecting with family and friends and neighbors five

years later, and still two years before the release of the iphone, richard lu published last child in the woods. lose focus was on child rearing and encouraged unstructured play he said it was unhealthy to raise children disconnected from the natural outdoor world three years later, it was built. bishops turn with the big sort bishop said that we disengaged as a society after vietnam when we re-engaged in the internet era, it was a long, far more narrow lines of interest, making it easier to associate with a like-minded, including on matters of politics lenore skin az published free-range kids one year later. you might remember when she made headlines after allowing her nine year-old to ride the new york city subway alone? she has since championed the let grow movement. she had many of the same themes as richard luv enter charles murray, who published coming apart in 2012, where and he focused on the result of a growing divide

between the upper and working class murray advanced themes similar to robert putnam. he said, when the better off live in secluded gated communities like say, belmont, massachusetts they're removed from the poor of kensington in philadelphia and the less fortunate suffer opportunity loss. five years later, it was jean twinkies turn with igm 20 studies, generational divide, she observed that 2012 mark the year when more than half of america had cell phones and noted that it was also the year that facebook acquired instagram, the beginning of the selfie era, 20 said that when adolescents, social lives moved online on to smartphones, mental health plummeted and affirming twinkies, mental health observations last year, the cdc released an alarming report based on a survey of 17,000 american high school students i interviewed kathleen easier, the cdc's study director she told me that in 30 years of collecting similar

data, they'd never seen anything like it 42% of american high school students experience persistent feelings of sadness or hopelessness 24% of american high school girls have actually made a suicide plan a prescription for what ails us came last year in the form of yet another book, the good life by harvard psychiatrist robert walden or and psychologist mark scholz they described the longest scientific study of happiness ever conducted >> the conclusion, good >> relationships keep us happier, healthier and help us live longer. people satisfied in relationships at age 50, were the healthiest mentally and physically at age 80 only as a society we're going in the opposite direction. i've interviewed all of these authors and more you can find every one of the interviews on my website posted under the mingle project, click on the book jacket, listen to the interview there's a

consistency to the work. a common thread, to all of these findings were having too many specialized interactions usually online and too few in-person common experiences. internet fueled self sorting is hardening class division. it's reducing social mobility. it's false finally, turning to many of us into political enemies i see it as the most important issue of our time will never solve anything consequential if we continue to fray. as a society which brings me to johnathan height, the social psychologists from nyu as the author of the new book called the anxious generation height builds on all of the work that i've referenced. he says we've taught our kids that the real-world is a dangerous place, and we become over protected but we haven't extended those lessons to the virtual world what's needed less supervision in the real-world, and more in the virtual world i want to know what you think go to my website

this hour and answer today's poll question. it's were carnage.com agree or disagree? social media use does not just correlate with mental illness it causes it. johnathan height joins me now his previous books include the codling of the american mind and the righteous mind. why good people are divided by politics and religion? jonathan so great to have you congrats on the success of the book why are you so sure as to the cause of adolescent anxi, where others point to climate change or political chaos, or the economy, or war well, thanks so much for having me back on michael. what it's always a pleasure to talk with you and boy. and my honored to be in that list? i love all those books that you mentioned there are so many, there are so many things lining up to give us increasing confidence that social media, and it's more than phone-based childhood in general, is a was not just a correlate. the simplest reason is that adolescent mental health fell off a cliff in 2012

or 2013. there wasn't much sign of it in 2010 and it was really bad by 2015. and everyone has their theory as to why this might have happened in the united states but why did the exact same thing happened in canada, the uk, australia, new zealand, to some extent in scandinavia so all these theories about school shootings, or it was something about american politics. they don't make any sense also climate change wasn't really when greta ton berg comes, comes out in 2017, 2018, if everything happened, then then i'd say okay, climate change that could be a cause for global alarm but this all happens around 2013 and it's driven especially by preteen girls. i don't think that preteen girls were the main group that was going to be influenced by climate change. so there is no other alternative theory. there is no theory that the skeptics separately proposed that fits the international data that's the first thing i want you to respond to the criticism. the critique that was offered in nature this week, i'll put it up on the screen and i'll read

it aloud. this comes from candice ajer's khuza'a psychologist at uc irvine. she says two things need to be set after reading the anxious generation. first, this book is going to sell a lot of copies because jonathan height is telling a scary story about children's development that many parents are primed to believe. and this is the part i want you to respond to second, the books repeated suggestion that digital technologies are rewiring our children's brains and causing an epidemic of mental illness is not supported by science. one worse, the bold proposal that social media is to blame might distract us from effectively responding to the real causes of the current mental health crisis. and by the way, in her piece, she points to the 2008 financial meltdown. what's your response >> yeah. >> so once again, financial meltdown makes no sense that was 2000810 minutes to help was fine until 2012. and then it's girls, young girls who get to press so suddenly, so the time it makes no sense as for argument, her main argument in the essay is that i have mistaken correlation for

causation i'm a social scientist. i know that correlation doesn't imply correlation. i'm correlation does not imply causation i've been in this debate since 2019. in 2019, there was a lot of correlational evidence showing that girls who spent a lot of time on social media are more mentally ill. that doesn't prove causation at the time, there weren't a lot of experiments. now there are there are. i've collected 25 experiments, 17 of which show a significant effect once we have experimental evidence. and longitudinal studies and quasi-experiments where you look at what happens to a whole region when the internet comes in high-speed internet comes in at different phases the evidence keeps lining up and piling up so for address to say that there is no she says there is no evidence that's just wrong i hope that listeners will go to my substack after babele.com, i have post after post where zach roush and i we lay out the international mental health data. we lay out the experimental data. it's not

just correlational. there's now experimental evidence. there's evidence of many kinds. oh, and eyewitness testimony. you ask the kids themselves, what do they think it is they say it's social media metadata study and they found this out with the kids, say instagram is the worst. so to say that there's no evidence that i have no evidence, just correlational studies. it's just not true here's the tightest encapsulation, i think from the anxious generation, i'm put this on the screen and read aloud this. these are your words, gen z is the first-generation to have gone through puberty, hunched over smartphones and tablets, having fewer face-to-face conversations and shoulder to shoulder adventures with their friends as childhood was rewired, especially between 2010 and 2015 adolescents became more anxious, depressed, and fragile in this new phone-based childhood free play attunement and local models for social learning are replaced by screen time i'm a synchronous interaction and influencers chosen by algorithms. children are in a sense deprived of

childhood. that's in a nutshell, right? jonathan, what else would you say? >> note well that's basically the story. i mean, it basically human beings had a play-based childhood from time immemorial. that's what all mammals do. we played a wire up our brains and then between 2010 and 2015, phones, screens come sweeping in. of course, they had they had computers and tv before them. but the smartphone allows them to have it with them all the time. the internet is with you all the time, and you can be online every moment, or at least every hour. so things really changed. i'd like listeners to imagine. i mean, here's a ajer's thinks that i'm making a very, very strong claim that needs very, very strong evidence >> but >> imagine this claim, suppose we invented a toy. let's call it the furby or whatever one of those things in the 80s. suppose you learned that this furby is going to take up about nine hours a day of your child's time there. they won't go outside much, they won't get as much sleep. they won't spend much time with friends they won't play, they won't have hobbies, they won't read books. and then

somebody proposes. maybe the forbids will be bad for kids are you going to say what a fantastical claim? oh, my god, how could that be? so when you look at the massive rewiring of childhood into activities that are not particularly healthy. >> i mean >> of course it has an effect and my book shows is that there's all kinds of evidence supporting that claim. >> jonathan, tell me one thing parents can do >> the most important thing that parents can do is delay the age at which their child gets immersed in internet culture. we have to protect early puberty especially that's middle-school ages ten to 14, and that went, we must protect kids brains in that age. that's when the maximum damage is done, especially for girls. so the most important thing you can do is delay the age at which you give your child a smartphone until a high school and delay social media until 16. and while these sound hard, if you're listening at home, these sound hard to do

because your child is going to say, but then on the only one well, team up with others, talk to the parents of your kids, friends, talk to this school. if you do it together, you can break out of these traps >> here's a social media reaction to our conversation and your book, put it on the screen and keep jonathan here so he can respond as well. there are a lot of factors says maureen that contribute to mental health issues using children blaming social media for everything from climate change to kidnapping. the lindbergh baby only obscures solutions. quick response from you, johnathan height oh sure of course there's lots of causes, but when you get a global synchronized change around 2013, there's only, there's only one theory on the table, and >> that is the technological change. nothing else fits. i'm not saying it's all that. i'm just saying this is the only thing that can exchange that can explain the very rapid change in multiple countries thank you, jonathan remember i want to know what you think go to my website. it's were kaddish.com answer today's poll question, agree or disagree.

social media use does not just correlate with mental illness. >> it causes it >> stood a comp so we've been talking about kids being over-connected. what about america's workforce being too connected to the office? workers are getting calls, emails, and texts 24/7 instead of just doing business hours in several countries have put laws in place to protect them. now oh, california assemblyman wants to do the same plus r americans in this dow gic for the trump presidency, you wouldn't expect that to be the case given some of the chaos that took place. so why are polls showing biden's time in office to be seen as so much worse than his predecessor >> remember >> hold on the poll question. subscribe to the daily newsletter. at smerconish.com. you'll get exclusive editorial cartoons from the legends rob rogers drew this >> space shuttle columbia, the

candidates are thrown into the mix biden and trump are tied in wisconsin, wisconsin's the outlier and biden leads by three points. if it's a multi candidate ballot in that state, i read the poll and i noted to curiosities both in the realm of perception versus reality first, swing-state voters are focused on the economy. moore so than voters nationwide, 35% said the economy and inflation are the most important to their vote only 19% said that in a journal national survey in february further, their perception is that they and their home states are doing better than the nation at large. for example, look at north carolina's 66% of the us is not so good or poor compared to only 33% who said likewise about their own state saman wisconsin, where 57% see the national picture poorly compared to 49% who feel that

way about their own state and you see the same pattern when you ask people about their own finances versus those of the nation. in other words people say they're basically doing okay, and their communities are doing okay. >> but >> the perception of the national picture is much more dire. which is possible. maybe they live in an area that's doing better than average, but it's less likely if everybody is saying that from georgia all the way to arizona perhaps their real life experience doesn't match what they're seeing in the media and secondly, there was this finding in every state in the survey, negative views of the president's job performance outweigh positive views by 16 percentage points or more with the gop topping 20 points in four states. by contrast, trump earns an unfavorable job review for his time in the white house. in only a single state arizona, where negative marks outweigh positive ones by one percentage point. here's what the poll actually looks like on

this issue. on average, 60% disapprove of the job that joe biden is doing. 38% approve. that'a net of -22. do you see it in the red circle? and on average 51% approve of the job. donald trump did do 47% disapproved. he's got a net of plus four that's a huge disparity and rather remarkable given that as i said, 2020 was largely a referendum on donald trump and his record and trump lost that referendum according to gallup, trump's disapproval rating at the time of the 2020 election was 55%. so what explains the change in perception between then and now? maybe it's in the comparison. look at biden's strong disapproval numbers in the journal polls, strong disapproval, 47% arizona, 45%, michigan, 46, a port in georgia, 46 in michigan, 48

north carolina, 47 in nevada, 48 in pennsylvania, 47% strongly disapprove in wisconsin. those are terrible numbers for an incumbent and while neither of these candidates is anything approaching popular with the electorate at large, trump's strong disapproval number better than biden's 39 and arizona 35 in georgia, 41 in michigan look at the comparison and so on and so forth, 41% in wisconsin again, nothing to brag about but you'd rather have trump's job performance numbers than biden's, which is fascinating to me. i expect biden's approval to be underwater with the border, the perception of the economy, the situation in israel but i didn't expect him to be perceived as so much worse then trump's time in office. we have no frame of reference here to know if this is normal because presidents don't normally serve lose, and then come back maybe in the stowage is natural. perhaps if papa

bush, after being defeated by bill clinton had come back and run again, we'd have seen the same thing or maybe it's the comparison of people's memory of trump's governance to their perception of biden in real time. that is now improving trump's standing so often our campaigns are about visions of the future this time, it might be won or lost on recollection of the past. the only thing certain is that the biden campaign is about to spend a lot of time and a lot of money trying to convince voters that their memories are faulty. let's see what you're saying on social media from the world of youtube. it's not the job he did. that's the problem. it's the person that's the problem. it's not the job he did. that's the problem. john burke essentially saying, well, yeah, you're asking me about trump's governance record, but you're not asking me about him? personally that was the referendum issue in 2020 wasn't it >> up ahead? >> do your bosses expect you to be reachable 24/7 for calls and emails and texts has it gotten

reasonable professional communication outside of their regular workday and now in california state assemblyman, matt hany of san francisco has proposed a bill that would make his state the first in the country to give employees the legal right to ignore non-emergency work communications and demands that fall outside of business hours. matt hany joins me now, he represents california's 17th district assemblyman. why can't the market sort this out? the boss who doesn't respect boundaries, he's not gonna be able to keep good people. he'll learn his lesson without the intervention of government it's great to be with you, michael. as you said, this is something that's been happening in over a dozen countries and it's working well the reason that market can't sort it out is because the technology has always with us if there's a villain in the story, it's not the bad boss it's the 24/7 technology and the accessibility that comes with it. so if we don't at

least have the clarity between the employee and employer about when they're on and when they're off and just require that they have that transparency in conversation. but often ends up happening for folks is they're just always on the gray area. the lack of clarity means that they don't even have time to put the phone away when they're with their kids at the dinner table. so this is just really the consequences of a technology that is left as 24/7 available but shouldn't leave us 24/7 working. and what we're just asking us for policies at these companies, at these employers that work for them that are flexible. but that are clear isn't it at odds with entrepreneurship? i mean, a stone's throw from you. i'm thinking of steve jobs and wozniacki in jobs, parents, garage working whatever hours it takes to launch what would become apple i mean can, can entrepreneurship coincide with what you envision >> well, i think it's an american value to work hard entrepreneurship, but it's also an american value to have

some time with your kids, some time to rest, used to be that you clocked in you knew your work and you clocked out and you had some time with family? that's still very important for people. people can still work hard, you can still have startups, you can still have long hours. but even in those environments, it's important that we are clear with each other about what time we have to ourselves and our families. this one conflict with that at all. a lot of the countries that already have this in europe are thriving including with startups and entrepreneurship. and also, i think if we want to compete for these high-skilled workers, or they're going to have a choice. they're going to want to go to companies where there is that clarity where they do know they have some time for their kids and if we if we work people to the bone and give them no time these entrepreneurial companies are going to have a hard time to compete for workers and they're going to have a hard time to make sure that they're competitive with the rest of the world what about government service? i mean, look at you and i applaud you, you're up real early on a saturday morning in san francisco. you've got one of the jobs where people expect you to

constantly be on the clock. so how would government service be impacted by what you envision? >> government service like a media i know has long hours and irregular hours that sometimes it's important that we're clear with our employees and with each other about when they're on when they're off with my employees. we've set policies where after work generally they're not contacted if it's an emergency or scheduling are certain things i need them before that still can happen. so there's enough flexibility. this is really about clarity and making sure that people don't just find themselves 24/7 always available, never able to put their phone down. i think if we do that, we're going to have a hard time finding workers and government technology or anywhere else so this is just really the consequence of this technology an updating our laws to make sure we have that level of clarity with our employees. i don't see any problem in implementing this in in government. in fact, we're already doing it. so it definitely can work if we don't do it, the lack of

clarity, the gray area, even for government, people shouldn't be working 24/7. that should be clear when they're on and when they're let's respond to this social media comment together. i don't see them in advance from the world of x. let's see what this person said you sent me work emails last night and i'm literally running so this is amelia, who is who is running a marathon in chicago right now, who is calling me out? and it's true. she for having sent her a friday night email, probably wanting to have some graphic developed for a look. i told matt i told you up front, i'm guilty as charged. i find it very hard. part to rein it in, but i'm respectful of what you're saying, that there's gotta be time for oneself 20 seconds you get the final word >> well, i hope i wish her the best of luck with that marathon. we can make this work. this is our current reality of always having her phone to always bring available with employers and employees let's at least have a

conversation. let's set the policy that's flexible enough. let's let people have at least a little time with their kids where their family where they could put their phone away and b2 themselves and get a little rest. it's good for everyone, it's good for our economy thank you, matt, any appreciate your being here? >> thank you. thank you. michael >> amelia, she better. she better when she better when after embarrassing me like that, do you win a marathon? is there one? i'm a dope like is there one? yeah, i know. i see that. i see the bumper stickers like what does it 26.2 or some such thing. i'm not a runner. what can i tell you >> do well, today though, >> still to come trump in the rnc have turned his remark about auto imports and combating a bloodbath into a rally and cry about the border. meanwhile, democrats are thinking they might have a chance to win florida because abortion is gonna be on the ballot. how these two issues are shaping up the 2024 narrative? if and don't forget vote on today's poll question. it's we cottage.com sign up for the newsletter when you're there, agree or disagree social media use does not just

at a rally near dayton, ohio i said at the time, the context mattered, he used the word after a rant about trade, the chinese and the auto industry and said that there would be a bloodbath if you were not elected. now, given the events of january 16, many ignored the context and they feared that it was yet another call for civil unrest when he first said bloodbath in ohio, it seemed unscripted exceed extemporaneous but now he's owning it and in a different scenario trump was in the battleground state of michigan this week appearing at an event in grand rapids that was called stop biden's border bloodbath and the rnc launched a new website called biden bloodbath.com. go to that site, you're going to read a diatribe against president biden claiming the lives of everyday americans have been shattered as a direct result of biden's open border policies then there are tabs for 13 states which seek to track crimes committed by migrants.

this despite the fact that researchers at stanford found that migrants coming into the united states are actually 30% less likely to be incarcerated when compared to white american citizens. since the study debunks any claims that immigration leads to more crime and concludes that quote recent waves of immigrants are more likely to be employed, married with children and in good health far from the rapists and drug dealers that anti-immigrant politicians claim them to be immigrants today are doing relatively well and have largely been shielded from the social and economic forces that have negatively affected low educated us born menn but politically speaking volume is on trump's side. >> think about it. the us border patrol had nearly 250,000 encounters with migrants crossing into the united states from mexico in december of 2023. that's according to government statistics and counters means both apprehensions and expulsions and for comparison, the population of cincinnati is

300,000 people. there was the highest monthly total on record, easily eclipsing the previous peak of about 224,000 encounters in may of 2022 i think the vast majority of migrants coming to the united states are hard-working people seeking a better life for themselves and their families and/or asylum i don't think that mexico is sending us. they're rapists obviously, i need to underscore this. we need to tighten our border. it's porous but the sheer volume of people coming into the united states almost guarantees that that bloodbath website, that the rnc has assembled. it's a continuing to have content and some of those encounters are gonna be high profile. i hope that i'm wrong. >> but >> human factors say otherwise, for example 25-year-old ruby garcia, killed by an undocumented immigrant. she was romantically involved with the garcia's body found on the side of a highway in grand rapids, michigan last month 25-year-old suspect later

arrested, charged with murder were the case of laken riley, the 22 year-old nursing student from georgia who was killed on a college campus by someone who entered the country illegally the suspect had been arrested back in 2022, but later released according to ice. and in maryland, a toddler killed during a shootout between two groups over a drug dispute. one of the suspects charged in connection to the boys killing was also here illegally and arrested last year for theft charges finally, an undocumented migrant acquitted. you'll remember this case for the 2015 death of kate's stein lee and san francisco will be deported to mexico. again the high-profile case drew national attention after the public learn the suspect had been deported back to mexico five times in the past >> yeah. because of the sheer volume of those crossing the border, such examples will inevitably keep cropping up and there'll be weaponized to however unfairly demonized, all migrants because politically it is very potent now as to

abortion ever since the june 2022 dobbs decision that overturned roe and gave the states the right to decide. democrats have made reproductive rights a core issue. and so far, every time i'm abortion rights of one, this week came news that the issue will be on the ballot in florida, which could have big impact on the fall vote. also, it already has forced trump to announce that this week he's going to state an official position on the issue, something that he's been avoiding up until now. the first sign of its power, it was in kansas less than six week after dobbs was overhead overturned, roe. remember, trump had won the state in 20225642 but voters rejected a ballot measure that would have allowed lawmakers to ban abortion by an even wider margin, 59, 41 then came the 2022 midterm in all five states atad abortion-related amendments voters affirmed abortion rights in blue states,

california and vermont, but also michigan voters voted in favor of measures to protect abortion rights. and in red states, kentucky and montana, voters rejected amendments that would have further restricted abortion rights then in the election of november 20, 2033, more democratic victories in ohio, which trump won in 2020 by 53, 45 marginthey resoundingly voted in favor of a constitutional right to abortion, 57% to 43% there were two other state elections that although they did not have abortion measures on the ballot per say, both resulted in affirming reproductive rights in virginia where republican governor glenn youngkin was saying that he was looking to institute a 15 week abortion ban the gop lost both houses of the legislature derailing his plan. and in kentucky, a state that trump carried by 26 points with abortion, a flashpoint issue. democratic governor andy beshear defeated his trump

endorsed republican challenger by five points. and then just two weeks ago, a local election in alabama where an abortion ban went into effect after dobbs also showed the lasting power of the issue you'll recall that earlier this year, the alabama supreme court ruled that frozen embryos are considered children which imperil the process of ivf over issues of liability then came this special state house election in a moderately read district democrat and marilyn lands, who lost by seven points in 2022 made reproductive rights a central part of her campaign. and this time, one that's by 25 points now, thanks to two decisions this week by the florida supreme court, the issue could impact how that state will vote in november on one hand, the court paved the way for the six-week abortion ban signed by governor ron desantis to take effect, making it one of the most restrictive states in the

nation. but the court also approved the wording of a proposed state constitutional amendment for this fall's ballot that would protect the right to an abortion in florida, it would need supportive at least 60% of voters to be approved as to which issue will prove more determinative. this fall the news always seems to deliver a flashpoint case that nobody can foresee like the 10-year-old in ohio, impregnated by an undocumented migrant, who then had to cross state lines for an abortion or a case like the one just this week in butler county, ohio, in which an undocumented immigrant was charged in the murder of a man. the suspect is a gang member who is reportedly been deported at least a times that could end up being the thing that shapes the country's passions, right when they're voting and those are the narratives that no campaign can plan for. still to come more of your best and
