we'll be laughing all the damn way to the bank as is nike who is seeing huge sales as more women are turning their backs on the lie that you can't be fit and fat sorry kids that's just plain wrong 2011 study by the national institute of health showed that only those individuals that were inactive were at a significant increase risk for all cause mortality independent of being overweight or obese city and another 2015 study in the international journal of cardiology found that overweight or obese individuals who are fit and active tend to have morbidity and mortality rates that are at least as low and in some cases lower than normal weight individuals who are unfit or inactive in other news this week the 2019 women's world cup was a flashpoint for controversy when the u.s. team kicked off their world cup run with the 13 a no win over thailand and they celebrated their goals on the field now some are asking not only of the u.s. team should have celebrated their win but even if they should have been allowed to

score so many points against a less successful team it seems we've lost sight of the point of competition and defying our own limits which means we should start watching the. told. the. real that this would. be a lot of. what it looks like you know like i got. a educate. sam. welcome everybody it was a long time to wallace and when the news just isn't getting to the heart of the matter you have to gaze upon the images flashed in our faces take a long hard look at the facts and enter the gallery.

joining me in the gallery today are american sports producer dana ham and our team america correspondent rachel blackman thank you guys for joining me here today thank you so i guess i'll start with you what do you think what do you give a's those comments by timing a gold i mean she called it a dangerous lie this idea that we don't know will will women keep the it's sort of like you know we are we going to exercise and should we exercise them if we do are we allowed to wear nice things while doing it i think it's a vicious cycle of people who maybe are overweight or need to be healthier want to work out so you want to look good when you work out mailing a because you know when you feel good about yourself you're more likely to do something but also workout equipment can be dangerous you don't want loose clothing that gets stuck in a barbell or 2nd machine and then disaster ensues. but that same time they're telling you no no your body can't wear that nice tight spandex job so then you're in this vicious cycle of you these people want to be healthier they want the

clothes to wear and then nike or other women and you know they're making them and people are going no no don't wear it yeah the water is what you don't go in to the knitter i think it's interesting too that she. commenting on a marketing campaign from nike and that's the whole point they were trying to do something that was different that was out there and that would appeal to a larger audience so the fact that she's even commenting about it or saying something that she'll like about it shows that what they're doing is successful so i think it's notable that they're making a campaign like that but it's also going to be interesting to see what other companies follow suit in that and if it becomes a new trend and then all of a sudden nike is going to have to look for a new marketing campaign to go off of everyone else is doing it then it's not so unique anymore yes i did stress i find it funny because you know clothes is always a big discussion amongst women is finding clothes that fit and whether your you know a size 0 or you're a size 16 there's this weird world where if you don't fit into one of those 2 little boxes there's that there's sort of nothing for you i want to help you i find

it funny because the diet industry seems to get a pass it's always this way you should have body positive clothes you shouldn't have body positive that and yet these same people are so worried about women's health are now going after things like shake ology or whatever like shake. as somebody calls them who. what why are we going after that if it's really about health is that what it's about or is it about only it's going to affect girls where i think it's that part where they're like use our t's use our coaching systems that play that diet culture because that idea that thin is fit and that's not necessarily the case and it's sad because you're putting this idea in people's heads that it is in thin is and you need to be both you can be heavy and in very good shape you can be thin and be in very bad shape you can be on healthy and i

think the fact that people pay into this it also screws your mental psyche a little bit because you girls growing up thinking you know i saw her that a girl going she's going to go to the gym or lose weight so many pay attention to her because that idea that if she's not thin enough yeah she's not going to get the attention that's just wrong and it is interesting to see like these marketing campaigns like she called you don't focus on you know the health of the matter but instead focus on this image that you want to look like and so it's interesting to see ok we may have marketing campaigns right now though will go to try to look for like if you look at night you like they're going to look for average size women well what if all companies do that and then all of a sudden they start scaling back and pushing for really thin women on their mannequins because is that something the majority of the culture wants to see do they want to you know see things that they want to aspire to be more so than what you know right now we may be saying that we want to look at something that looks more like us but if we get better we're going to have been go the opposite route yeah i think it's actually a good way to look at it you want to have you want people to aspire to something we

want them you know especially in health you want to start something healthy and something interesting and i know you know you're the keyboard warriors is like to say well comments a lot especially working you know and feel like t.v. on everything on your appearance and now you have women maybe who you know don't want that to just be the sole focus and they want to be healthy for their children . grandchildren and just be in their lives and i think that's good we should be shaming them and pushing these hoops he's actually no more and literally one of the things i also wanted to get on to talk about healthy women it was the u.s. women's the women's world cup there is something monumentally sexist in my mind of claiming that the women of thailand's team have to be protected from from a loss by you know where i'm sorry who are the snowflakes because i think it's where i think it's a great system this idea of like the nation to so many points against the nation.

i've never her i've never heard of more ridiculous saying that these types the thai women are so delicate i don't think it's funny that they that people don't think it's sexist or they don't see anything wrong with the commentary saying you know should a lot up on them the thai team themselves came out said this isn't we don't feel disrespected we don't feel like this is wrong we didn't play as well they were not as good as them and even alex morgan went over and comforted the goalie after the last like this wasn't like a ha ha ha ha rubbing in your face kind of thing it's sports and this is a game this is a world tormented you kind of expect them not to celebrate and i think like you said cheer welcomed us forwards i mean we've all rooted for different teams that we know that sometimes our favorite team goes up against a team that is way better than and they don't come out on top and so it's interesting to see that the conversation has shifted to doubt away from the fact that we have a really incredible women's team that we could be talking about and celebrating but it is interesting to see that now they've still found something to criticize even when they're really good at the sport and you have girls who this is their 1st world cup mallory pugh roosevelt they scored their 1st gold and they're you know

parents fans watching should they not be excited i mean if i scored my 1st world cup goal i want to celebrate whether was goal number 10 or goal number 13 you know it's an accomplishment when you see n.f.l. players who are known for their celebratory dances in the end zone something that people look forward to so it is interesting to see is the. it's a different bias when it comes to women is this something that's going to continuously as we go on will you i mean you're in the sports world what you know how are people reacting to this you get both sides a spectrum you the canadian answer you actually things as it incredibly disrespectful that they are celebrating after goal like 8 but you don't look at the team you don't ask do they have a particular goal in my name is not the goal to rack up a goal differential will matter if it comes down to it at the end of the day so the more goals you have the better that goal differential is going to be for you but you know out morgan is now in the running for the golden boot at the women's world cup she has 5 goals in that game alone maybe that's her personal complement maybe

that's something she wants to watch you say who time to pack like granted there are mental teams that play you know the 3 schools in the run up a 72 to 3 score but we don't see the exact type of criticism you just see maybe they shouldn't schedule those teams not you should stop for a. i look at all this and we have this idea of you know it's all from like what women wear while we do sports to all and to any final thoughts or anything you want to kind of talk about any of this all together how does this all fit together and is there's a point where there seems to be so many rules of that women are supposed to follow and be mindful of so that we don't make people uncomfortable with ari this. well i think to a certain extent not to take all of it so seriously because the end of the day everyone's going to have an opinion and a lot of people are pushing a different agenda whether they're talking about criticizing women for what they're doing on the field or for what they're wearing like it's just important to remember the the end of the day those are still people and it's about much more than just

what they're wearing or whether they scored too many goals against of their team and their gender and. i think at the end of the day you're going to always have you know social media trolls a keyboard warriors i think we're going to fix this it just it's being done then do this we're going to have war world cup wins and you so what are you so angry about piano it's strange i think we are so overly sensitive about certain things and people become overly sensitive about women in general and when you know there's either sports or clothing or something it's always this idea that we have to be careful because we don't want to upset the apple cart and i say whatever you know what good came from from her timing like nothing changes and not finding that your own limits you know much of the beginning is this idea of we will blow our own limits out of the water we're the ones who decide those limits not a food critic from a british. newspaper and certainly not you know canadian sports announcers so i

want to thank you both are really good today and they gallery thank you so much regina him and rachel blevins thank you so much for coming on today. as we go to break off watch yourself or get to let us know what you think of the topics we've covered on facebook and twitter sarah says our dot com coming up and for i will give you perception and perspective as he talks about the toxicity of the media's obsession with masculinity and why one missouri senator is convinced social media is a parasite watching. you . join me every thursday on the alex salmond and i'll be speaking to us of the world of politics sport that's less i'm show business i'll see you then.

after a breakdown in negotiations presidents and she may soon again meet to hash out a trade deal the stakes couldn't be higher both sides need a perceived win failure can witness the global economy divided into rival blocks and. internet world. to get off the ground begin to down. and then freeze on the sounds of an mit grown man with misleading essentially. through his. wish to do away from the officer. of his group. the obvious or did they kind of lunge for the web in one's midst and then when it happened on trace one as i didn't i never saw any contact with. any kind of went back to where they were so the

answers back here they're try again 15 feet apart at this point and that's when the officer is gonna need to turn 3. liz. lead. the 4. legged. lead. live. live live. live

. live. live. live. live live. live. and very well can see you watching us in such.

in the never ending rush of life and the dazzle of news media here in the 21st century is easy to lose our footing and stumble through the pain glass window of reason and objectiveness where where then will we no longer find ourselves quickly falling into a void of conformity and irrationality this is why we need to always keep the path that one of us illuminated with the glowing silver screen of a little perception and perspective. our of my friends today let's start things off with a little toxic masculinity yes for those of you living under a baby boomer rock toxic masculinity is according to the good men project the cultural ideal of manliness where the strength is everything while emotions are a weakness where sex and brutality are yardsticks by which men are measured well supposedly feminine traits which can range from emotional vulnerability to simply not being hypersexual are the means by which your status as

a man can be taken away in other words toxic masculinity is every bullied from out from pretty much every 1980 s. teen movie from gift 10 to johnny lawrence busy but my friends apparently all the folks who grew up watching johnny lawrence blocked daniel sunscreen kicker cheered when biff tannen stole the sports almanac in the war and are now taking offense to modern cultures current condemnation of toxic masculinity recently writer and speaker matt walsh pop positive in the daily wire that toxic masculinity actually saved the world in world busy war 2 writing on the anniversary of d.-day that quote well $24000.00 of those kinds of men went charging into a hurricane of bullets and blood on this day 75 years ago they went all that way to die or kill or both these were violent men rough men toxic men toxic at least to those who are proud. the innocent in opposing freedom well joining me now to discuss whether toxic mask and we save the world is the. big picture holland book

professor of journalism and georgetown university chris chambers and the host of the news with rick sanchez the one and only rick sanchez all 3 of. you know we're all going to grow up together so you want. to go i want to start at the mr wallace's. contention that the $24000.00 soldiers who landed at normandy were filled with this toxic mass killing that we are weaker today for not pushing men to quote be like them be a man and be who you are because as long as there is evil in this world we all need men laden thick with toxic masculinity to rise up in me to toxic masculine really really save the world and you have no idea what the hell he's talking about. bridge with the word that masculinity and toxic should even be ever together because being masculine is not toxic it just means that you're masculine so this and by the way as for who fought in world war 2 yeah most of those guys were mad but you know what get ready because in about 20 years all the robots and then we want to have this

argument and then a couple years after that it'll be the end of the world. well i mean i think he's conflating violence and aggression with duty loyalty i mean most of these guys were you know were drafted and a lot you know it whatever society you come from people run into a hail of bullets because it's something that they have to do i mean it's a it's you know we were called up we had to do it they're not saying they're going to you know it's i would say it's a job i'm not going to undergrad thank you very much and i learned of. it but it's it's it's not a job but it's duty it's loyalty it's something that they felt they had to do i'm sure all $24.00 if that's that of a board rather been and in another place but when you look at it you know 75 years later through the lens of hollywood and all that crap. it puts a lot of this this weird on what your feelings are well i think women in uniform today ought to be retroactively offended by this day trope and.

back in the day of rosie the riveter was as much a part of the war effort as the guys who were in forward positions everybody was in on this but as you said in your introduction the pendulum kind of swings back and forth clearly we're seeing a backlash to the meat to movement ever since the billy bush tape and everything trump has said ever since seems to be feeding this red meat fire it really is it bothers me in the sense because it's like when i look at it i don't you know i think you can put i disagree with you rick i think you can put toxic masculinity in the same mold when you're talking about men who are using the worst aspects of masculinity overly aggressive and all of that and then like saying oh that's something i should aspire to be you know i that's something the should be celebrated those are the worst parts about this is whether you use the term with a dash between the 2 words or not i guess that's my particular problem with it if

the idea is that you use that term and what you're saying with it is all men when they act masculine are being toxic i call bullcrap on that because i want my sons to be masculine just like i want my daughters are going to listen masculine there's a difference in what we decide is masculine right you know the proper masculine is and you know pinching women in the butt running around you know you're all i'm such a star but i don't really know belle because you know what you're doing i say you're doing the same thing that's bull crap you're doing the same thing too many people do oh do you mean masculine as in misbehaving no i mean masculine as in being a man ok that's all i'm saying and there's nothing wrong with being a man and we have to stop this thing we're doing in the general media today where it's bad to be a man and anybody who acts in a man way is doing something wrong bullcrap. you know. people who sexually assaulted abuse people probably are not criminals are criminals that are probably not the best soldiers i mean they might appear you know you have that

again that patina you know and there's this obsession with d.-day to i mean you know this is this is russia today there were millions the russian soldiers that were sitting around going well who my going to who you know how my going to get drunk and rape somebody today their country was invaded very stoically stoically and just automatically said i gotta do something about it and that's what i'm talking about that sense of loyalty and duty in the face of just har you know to be able to just sit there and not go under you know and i was watching the movie dunkirk the same thing those guys were not sitting around germans are beautiful you want to do a beer. read some people you know a lot press a lot of guys with back to the nit on this and fought that you know fought the germans all the way back and so i don't know where. the wire you know i don't

understand where this comes from. things were going to get to is like look after toxic matter mass killing naturally comes social media because what better place to fight over what does or does not make up a man than on the twitter verse. but the social media itself they're saying is now toxic is it toxic to the human experience this is the question recently posed by a recently posed by republican senator out of missouri josh holley when he questioned the methods of financial gain used by social media giants like facebook and twitter social media only works as a business model it consumes users time and attention day after day it needs to replace the various activities we did perfectly well without social media addiction is actually the point that's what social media shareholders are investing in the addiction of users he went on in the usa today piece to call social. a parasite on human relationships and societies gentleman this is interesting to me is social media a parasite on society in its current form the one guy who never stops tweeting and

never stops facebook against holland so i mean let him start i had a psycho therapist nancy collier on my show and you are not overstating it when you say addiction because she talked about court a soul there is something biochemical that's happening when you get that validation and when we're hyped up to the point where we're always on as opposed to experiencing our environment there is something biochemical happening and as you said this is how they make money it's all about the clicks and we confuse clicks with comrades we think that our online friends are in your hands i don't not part of that but here here's here's the point i would like to make about this i agree with you by the way and i think it's a point well made that we are come becoming addicted to this stuff and that is not healthy everybody knows that we see our kids today they don't even talk to each other husbands and wives don't talk at restaurants everybody has their cities or they're just type of i guess you could make that argument but now add to that the

phenomenon that started with rush limbaugh and then followed by fox news which is actually says those guys are all the enemies black people are the enemy of the nazis are the enemy in other words all women are the enemies who you know are defending their rights so they created this this is this group of people who hated the other guys and then along comes them as a b. c. and essentially mimics what they're doing so the media created the message that is now being proliferated on social media so you can't just blame social media for the message although you can blame it all and says for the over you as a technology writer amped up the volume and philosophy of it i hate what started somewhere else what are your thoughts on well i mean they're they're they're both right and it's the they're talking about different ingredients in the soup and then when you when you talk go back to the business model. but not really the diction business model but the you know getting people's private information business model which is where the money really is you need both ingredients in the soup to keep

people you know in their it so it's not like a long continuous parasitic suck it's not like a tape worm it's more like a mosquito that's like like millions of mosquitoes boom boom boom boom boom so it's not really a tape worm it's more like i'm going to. actually read something to you guys because he's having positive but yeah. it's actually going to play into the whole edward r. murrow once said at the university of minnesota talking about television he said the instrument can teach it can illuminate yes and it can even inspire but it can do so only to the extent that humans are determined to use it to those ends otherwise it's nothing but wires and lights in a box this is a great and perhaps the decisive battle to be fought against ignorance and tolerance and difference this is the weapon of television is where it could be useful i would add that social media could add to that armory and it is you could go right now i've lately gotten into podcasts and i watch you tube a lot more than i used to watch cable news for example i watch you tube and one of

my fixations is guys who cut different versions of me and i've got a 1000000 you tube channels that i've 2 subscribed to in the butchers and i also like guys who you know i'm certain methods i'm into all these niches that i happen to like i don't know what you guys like but for me and there's nothing mangrum or vile about it it's just so it can be ultimately and podcast to your partner baking podcasters everything there is everything under the sun and that up is developing and we've got to we've got to push that more than the negative i want to thank you general holland cook chris chambers you rick sanchez but coming on today that is our show for you today everyone remember in this world we are told that we are. all i love you i robot for a keep watching all those talks about the great. so

you say that brings this to the end of the series if we could just let josie marino walk away and say we decided to treat a still post to a very special farewell to. a long and interesting part of the game but this time to go back to the punchline and thanks for putting on sr it bought it. we were. the only thing i didn't enjoy was my eyes. my dancing. on pies. in. the. middle of the.
