go basically around the clock until the x date. margaret talev, thank you for joining us this morning. thanks to all of you for getting up way too early on this tuesday morning with us. morning joe starts right now. optimistic we may be able to make some progress because we both agreed default is not really on the table. we have to get something done here. and the consequence of failing to pay our bills would be the american people would have a real kick in their economic well-being. as a matter of fact, the rest of the world would, too. president biden and speaker kevin mccarthy continue to take positive have that positive tone on the debt ceiling and how it is going, but there s still no deal with just over a week until the country could default completely. we ll look at the disagreements that are holding up a deal for now. also ahead, donald trump s comments about e. jean carroll during his town hall could cost him more money, as the writer takes new legal ac
that s sort of an important step here. again, to mika s point, it s the first time he s had to face accountability or restriction. he s not able to do what he wants per penalty from the court. you look, we re talking about accountable. it s really across the board here. i brought up the sandy hook lies. right. there was something where, again, people just started thinking, you can lie, say whatever you want to say, there won t be any consequences. we obviously know what happened took a while. with the voting machines, what happened there. we see what happened to donald trump in manhattan. we saw what happened with this jury verdict. we re also seeing it every day, the justice department continuing, and the fbi continuing to pursue people who beat the hell out of cops, rioted on january 6th, tried to overthrow a peaceful american presidential election. again, there are consequences. again, it appears that donald
three hours of social media a day face a greater risk, in fact double the risk, of depression and anxiety symptoms. this is especially concerning when you consider the fact that the average amount of use by kids is 3 1/2 hours a day. the bottom line is, this is a real point of concern here. when nearly half of kids are telling us that social media use makes them feel worse about their body image, i think about that as a father with two young children. i want what every parent wants. i want my kids to grow up confident, feeling good about themselves, and they want them to be able to thrive. we should make sure that social media is, in fact, a place where our kids get benefits and where they re not harmed. so what does an advisory do at this point, in terms of spreading the message? i think a lot of parents are living the message, and social media has become a part of the fabric of young people s lives. it s not something, as a parent, you have a lot of power over. you have some but yo

shoulders of parents alone. dr. murthy, good morning. when the cdc report came out in friday, it dropped the jaws, i think, of a lot of parents, that showed especially teenage girls, young girls, 60% or something like that have feelings of persistent sadness and hopelessness. we talked about suicidal ideation, all these things that just break the heart of anybody who read that study. is there any doubt in your mind that this huge spike in that is directly linked to the proliferation of social media? well, i m issuing this advisory because i am concerned that it is, in fact, linked. there are open questions we have to answer here. part of the challenge we have had in getting answers to all the questions we have about the full extent of social media s impact, who is at greatest harm, what the mechanisms of harm are, is researchers have not been able to get all the data they need from technology companies. it s something i hear all the time from researchers around the country. that s
