Political Identity, Sub-Personalities, Method Acting

The hosts discuss a theory that political figures like Barack Obama utilize "sub-personalities" to appeal to different audiences, comparing it to method acting. They suggest that supporters are "shorted out" by the contradictions in the President's actions (e.g., being a constitutional lawyer who maintains a "kill list"). The discussion touches on the social pressure to identify with a specific political party.

George Clooney, Satellite Spying, Method Acting Theory

A BBC report mentions that actor George Clooney pays for a satellite to spy on Sudan. This leads to a discussion on Clooney's potential role as a "spy" or intelligence asset. The hosts also revisit the theory of "sub-personalities" in acting and how it applies to political figures who seem to change personas based on their current agenda.
