Tell us what has precipitated this new concern.

Well, you know, it's a really important question.

It may be one of the most important questions we can ask at all.

I, um, uh, I personally, uh, you know, I have all my thoughts and feelings about Donald Trump, but I really, um, uh, spent the last 10 years on the couch watching the news.

I, I, I had no real commitment or activism until I and my colleagues began to notice serious signs of increasing mental instability in the President of the United States.

This is very scary and one of the most pressing issues of the day.

For one reason in particular, he's the only person in the world who has sole access to start a nuclear war.

So what was the thinking when your group came together and decided that you would present this statement and have it be a part of the congressional record?

you know,

One person cheats.

One person doesn't cheat.

The person who cheats gets an advantage.

If they both cheat, the advantage disappears.

If they both follow the rules, the advantage disappears.

All that stuff is well worked out.

For those who are listening right now, how do we better pay attention to nuclear armament and what can we do?

But I, I, I wanna start with talking about this duty to warn, this sense that you and your colleagues do have this, this duty to speak up in this unprecedented moment.

Donald Trump, unstable individual, multiple red flags in his mental status examination, which [chuckles] are in the newspaper every day.

And are psychiatrists supposed to be quiet in the face of such, uh, such, uh, such danger? When he threatens to, uh, start a nuclear war, uh, and, and bomb Iran, a, a, a country of ninety-three million people, um, are we supposed to stay quiet? Uh, uh, or, uh, are we supposed to obey the so-called Goldwater rule? Well, it's not a rule, it's a principle, and that principle has to be overwhelmingly neutralized by the danger that someone like Donald Trump poses to vast numbers of people by virtue of the structural, uh, inability, uh, of, of, uh, of, uh, this country to control its nuclear weapons except through his fingertips.

So that w- that was the dilemma that, uh, my colleagues and I faced.

We, we addressed it.

We put a statement out.

We said, "This is nuts.

You know, once they are in that mindset of always dodging the law, whether it be planning laws or, you know, laws surrounding sexual assault, that he will always kinda err on the side of criminal.
