| 0:00.0 | Hey, just over and listeners, this is chapter four in my deep dive on Apologies and Forgiveness, |
| 0:04.7 | and I thought I would start off this episode by analyzing Donald Trump's apology. |
| 0:09.2 | The title of this is Donald Trump apologizes for sexist comments about groping women. |
| 0:14.1 | I would also say seemingly non-consensually. That's how he described it. That recording that |
| 0:18.9 | captured him bragging to other people about that sort of thing. So let's get into it. I recently |
| 0:23.9 | analyzed Bill Clinton's apology for Monica Lewinsky, his several apologies over the number of |
| 0:29.0 | years. I gave him a D rating. So let's see what rating I give Donald Trump. My name is Dr. |
| 0:34.1 | Kirk Honda. I'm a therapist and professor. This is the psychology in Seattle podcast. This deep dive |
| 0:39.2 | is going to be about culture that will come later, but first let's get to this apology. |
| 0:43.7 | I've never said I'm a perfect person, nor pretended to be someone that I'm not. I've said and done |
| 0:49.3 | things I regret. And the words released today on this more than a decade old video are one of them. |

| 1:06.7 | he was apologizing to the American people, to the voters, because this happened just before |
| 1:10.9 | he was elected president. Who is he apologizing to? Who does he think he's apologizing to? When |
| 1:15.9 | you are apologizing, whether you're a public figure or a spouse or a family member or a friend, |
| 1:20.5 | you want to clearly up front state what you're apologizing for exactly. Now he did identify that, |
| 1:26.7 | so I'm apologizing for the things that I said more than a decade ago, and I'm sorry for that. |
| 1:32.8 | Let's rewind that. I've never said I'm a perfect person, nor pretended to be someone that I'm not. |
| 1:38.0 | I've said and done things I regret. And the words released today on this more than a decade old |
| 1:43.4 | video are one of them. Okay, so he's saying I'm not a perfect person. I say things that I regret |
| 1:50.3 | later on, and this is one of them. All right, that's a good start. In my deep dive, I go into |
