And I always say, I haven't evaluated that person and I don't have permission to talk about that person.

I'm not going to comment on that.

There's actually a rule in the American Psychiatric Association as the Goldwater rule, which dates back to when Barry Goldwater was running for president.

Psychiatrists were surveyed from Fact Magazine or Fact Magazine sent out a survey to psychiatrists, I should say.

And about 1400 responded saying, Barry Goldwater is not fit to run for president or be president.

They'd never evaluated him.

They had no knowledge of him whatsoever.

And American Psychiatric Association came out with the Goldwater rule.

You cannot talk about these people that you don't know unless you have evaluated them and have their permission.

Fact magazine was sued and actually went under after that.

But yes, you can't talk about, I can't talk about ethically people that are in the public eye.

I think people, there's no doubt people are fascinated by what is going on?

Why is this person acting this way?

Why is this person doing this?

Do they have something wrong with them?

I think it's natural to ask those questions.

I think some people maybe aren't aware of the ethics.

Some people don't mind stepping across that line because maybe it brings them something, some joy, some fame, something.

But I think it's natural to wonder, but it's also...

There are ethics here we should pay attention to.
