the way, in all rankings of the very best universities, because the most publications are in harvard journalsn, let's hear it. how many seasons are there in total? september october, november december, 8 what pardon eight? what's three? wait 3 x 3 x 3 yes how much this is a 36, ​​if you drive 60 miles per hour, how far will you travel in an hour? i don't know, but like 60 miles an hour, i don't even know, try to guess. 30 60 mph see, you're one hour away, how far can you get? i don't know, i wish i knew, but i don't know. this is the intellectual level of the average american. well, not the average leader of intellectualization either. let's talk. so the elite of society. it happens. unfortunately all over the world, but here in the west. this is most clearly visible, i can see everything and the main conclusion that needs to be made, that too much hope is placed in the west. it's too many illusions. there is a relatively smell, because everything is good there, that you need to focus on this very harvard, which occupies the last place. no no need. it's not necessary, maybe it's necessary. re

guess also because he likes to get out of washington now and then he's taught writing and journalism at harvard and princeton and on top of everything else. so please join me in welcoming lanny jones and evan thomas thomas. thank you, brad is now politics and prose the greatest bookstore of all. yes. so, lanny, tell us about your book. oh, i've well let's see here. before i do that, let me thank you for for a grander ground and give me some tough questions and thanks, brad, for for inviting and thank all of you here. now, the weather was so good. i can't wait. there's more of this outside somewhere. i have so many friends here and some and also some writers and editors. i wanted to say a few words to sort of stir the pot about the sort of basic themes in my book. and then we're going to get to the data gretel. and so i, like many of you, i used to think that celebrity culture wasn't a an intriguing diversion and musing. so professor but not harmful. it is a source of gossip and funny stories but that was before the celebrity stayed morphed into a vast profit generating enterprise i like to thin

and ultra-processed food was healthy and nutritious, recently had a group of harvard doctors bashing a leading scientific journalioning ultra processed food. this is all an effort i saw firsthand by the food industry to convince us ultra processed food which is much more profitable than natural food is healthy and it is a bizarre world because the opposite is true. the environment is being destroyed because of our farming processes that get us processed food. rachel: it is more profitable than natural good food that is good for us, you talk so much about the healing power of food and how the american diet is literally killing us and killing our children in so many ways, childhood diabetes etc. . we had a gop debate at fox for foxbusiness, nobody talked about big food and ultra processed food. rfk junior talked about big food and the profit motive behind making us fatter and sicker. donald trump has stepped into this in some regard, talk to me about the missed opportunity during this election cycle to take on this issue. >> as you said this is the issue, our children, our precious children, 30% have prediabetes.
