Hey everybody, welcome to the Damage Report.

We're here to close out the week on this Friday with a gigantic show.

During the show, we're going to be talking about the Coast Guard domestic terrorist and some

of the media narratives around why exactly he was going to do what he was going to do.

And the people who were curiously silent about this particular incident.

We're also going to talk about Alexandria Cassech Cortez fighting dark money advertising

inside of New York City.

We're going to talk with an awesome guest, one of, I think should be one of the most influential

psychologists in media today.

That is David Dunning, creator of the Dunning Kruger Effect, which has gotten a lot of

talk in the age of Donald Trump.

We're going to talk about how appropriate that actually is, what it really means and how

we can work to get past some of our ignorance about our own ignorance and politics, which I

think is needed more than ever before.

Sort of related to that, I recently started the say something nice challenge in politics

on Twitter.

We got thousands of responses.

The idea being just say something nice about a politician that you have no intention

of actually supporting.

To keep people a little bit level headed, a little bit rational, you guys sent in so many

and we're going to be closing out the show and the week with a little bit of that.

But first, serious matters.
