the dynamic, the underlying dynamic that allows these tyrants to hold on to power

is their exploitation of a very natural human vulnerability, but a very natural human fear of

being cast out, being socially rejected and ostracized. And the flip side of that fear is that

human beings, we have a very natural need to be accepted. Well, welcome to the Ann and Phelham scoop

with me, Anne McElhenney, and with... I'm in Ireland with the world's worst internet, which is apparently freezing a lot.

So I'm seeing my wife in rather frozen pictures.

But yes, I'm in Ireland to bring you all the madness where we're going to have a teaching

of gender identity on all curriculums in schools, including Catholic schools,

but we can't get internet so that I can do the podcast. Maybe that's delivered. What else is the

show on? Yes. Well, obviously, we're starting out to show with all the massive news that just

broke on, we're recording this on Monday where the massive news broke about Tucker Carlson

and about Don Lemon.

So we're going to talk about that in a second.

We're also going to talk about we just had Earth Day.

So we've got, we have some thoughts about Earth Day.

And then we're going to go over to an interview I did earlier with Stella Morabito

on her new book called The Weaponization of Loneliness.

Quite an extraordinary title that just caught my eye on Friday.

And we have a margarita recipe because I spent a weekend with a friend who is lonely in Mexico.

I'm just that kind of friend.

You know, you can just depend on me to go to Cabo if you're lonely.

Just putting that out there.
