The young Barack Obama.
His while school professor and Art Bell and his other professor Ogletree.
Harvard law.
The equating to something.
So the bright -- organizations suggest that is.
Deeply disturbing.
Your thoughts.
Well listen I think Lou it's become increasingly difficult to be disturbed about anything in our culture that isn't calamity.

Very serious and as serious as war itself and what we have heard moving into the media.

That make you participate because you get lost in the here we are with people brokering talk of war of that dramatic events on the face of the planet how.
Well through this filter that we've all grown to accept because everybody's gonna FaceBook profile everybody knows about YouTube it's -- if we can't reach each other.
Without going first through a camera.
And that's a very concerning thing because getting to the truth is -- harder and the truth here when you look at these events unfolding.
And and Arab Spring and then you say well the president he was connected with.

Adding up those numbers can get tougher to say well there's a big problem here when you're doing through the filter of entertainment.
