Spring break, 2026.

So, by the way, that went on for a lot longer and that was just Anisha, you know, cut it down to a nice little bite sized chunk.

Before we hear from you, I just want to say that my first, you know, instinct when I saw this video was to like to be in defense of our youth because I'm like, you know what?

You're allowed to be dumb.

You're on spring break.

You're allowed to be getting like drunk and like, you know, I certainly if you would have asked me about geopolitical events when I was like a freshman in college, I probably wouldn't have given you a very like salient responses to things, you know, and and then people evolve and they get wiser and they get older.

But man, when we just compare that to what we were talking about, you know, in terms of our isolation as a nation, it's not such a good look.

No, I don't want to chide them either, but I feel like actually it's like adults.

It's a failure of all of us.

It's a failure of all of us.

We're the ones that are supposed to educate the younger generation.

So that's what I was thinking too.

I feel like these shows always love to make fun of college students and be like, oh, this is what like a liberal arts education is going to get you.

And this is what happens, you know, with all the universities.

But

It's on everybody, you know, like the way that you parent, the way that you are raised and educated by your community.

You know, all of that is it's all everything that builds up over time.

And so if this is the way that, you know, our youth are looking at the world or rather like, you know, not looking or thinking about the world, it's on all of us.

Or even with this current administration, just in terms of like the books that are being banned.

Yeah.
