WEBVTT - The Karol Markowicz Show: Progressively Worse with Joe Concha 0:00:03.680 --> 0:00:07.360 Hi, and welcome back to the Carol Markowitz Show on iHeartRadio. 0:00:07.720 --> 0:00:12.600 People really responded to my last monologue about rude kids. 0:00:12.720 --> 0:00:17.080 I haven't gotten that much mail about a monologue before. 0:00:17.239 --> 0:00:21.040 I think that's kind of interesting. It's possible that the 0:00:21.079 --> 0:00:25.640 scourge of misbehaving children in public is just really prominent 0:00:25.760 --> 0:00:29.560 right now. You do see kids acting up more often, 0:00:29.960 --> 0:00:33.479 and it seems like people are maybe reaching a breaking 0:00:33.520 --> 0:00:36.720 point with it. Problem is, you can't really do anything 0:00:36.720 --> 0:00:40.559 about other people's kids. One listener writes, do you have 0:00:40.600 --> 0:00:44.280 any advice for dealing with my sister's misbehaving children? I 0:00:44.320 --> 0:00:46.840 love my niece and nephew, but they are incredibly rude 0:00:46.840 --> 0:00:51.160 and disrespectful, especially to their parents. They're ten and eight. 0:00:51.720 --> 0:00:54.319 My sister and brother in law otherwise great, but they 0:00:54.360 --> 0:00:57.600 don't do anything when the kids act out. You said 0:00:57.680 --> 0:01:00.319 gentle parenting was a problem, but I haven't seen them 0:01:00.360 --> 0:01:03.960 parent at all. They mostly just ignore it. My sister 0:01:04.000 --> 0:01:06.520 and I were raised in a fairly strict home, so 0:01:06.560 --> 0:01:09.440 I'm surprised to see this. Is there anything I can 0:01:09.480 --> 0:01:14.800 do now? Sadly, I say no, It's extremely unlikely that 0:01:14.880 --> 0:01:17.800 your sister and brother in law will change their parenting 0:01:17.880 --> 0:01:22.600 style based on your comments, and far more likely it 0:01:22.640 --> 0:01:25.960 will create a real rift between you. You don't say 0:01:26.000 --> 0:01:28.479 whether you have kids of your own, but if you do, 0:01:29.280 --> 0:01:31.360 I think it's more important to just make sure your 0:01:31.400 --> 0:01:34.959 kids understand that, yes, aunt and uncle might allow your 0:01:35.000 --> 0:01:38.600 cousins to do things that we don't. All families are different. 0:01:38.880 --> 0:01:40.840 This is what we do in our house, this is 0:01:40.840 --> 0:01:43.920 how we behave. I think that's the wit really, to 0:01:43.959 --> 0:01:47.160 make sure that your kids don't get influenced by outside 0:01:47.160 --> 0:01:50.400 bad behavior. Sad as that is. I also heard from 0:01:50.400 --> 0:01:54.320 another listener who is engaged and worried that he and 0:01:54.400 --> 0:01:57.520 his soon to be wife will have different parenting styles. 0:01:57.720 --> 0:02:01.600 This is definitely something to discuss in advanced My husband 0:02:01.600 --> 0:02:04.320 and I are a united front when it comes to 0:02:04.360 --> 0:02:08.240 the kids. It's extremely rare, though it has happened when 0:02:08.320 --> 0:02:11.679 we disagree about what should happen for bad behavior. It's 0:02:11.680 --> 0:02:16.639 important that kids can't play parents against each other. Finally, 0:02:16.919 --> 0:02:19.680 a listener wrote in to say that she thinks her 0:02:19.760 --> 0:02:23.280 husband is too soft on the kids because they are small. 0:02:24.000 --> 0:02:26.920 She wrote, my kids are foreign too, and my husband 0:02:26.960 --> 0:02:30.320 says that's too little to give them consequences because they 0:02:30.360 --> 0:02:34.720 won't understand. I could not disagree more. I mean, some 0:02:34.800 --> 0:02:38.200 of the best parenting advice I ever got was start 0:02:38.240 --> 0:02:40.040 with how you want to go on. I think that 0:02:40.120 --> 0:02:42.560 was like happiest baby on the Block, maybe the only 0:02:42.639 --> 0:02:47.000 parenting book I read, and it was you know, you 0:02:47.080 --> 0:02:49.920 do things the way you do things for the future. 0:02:50.200 --> 0:02:52.880 If your kid yells at a restaurant, for example, even 0:02:52.919 --> 0:02:55.560 if they're eighteen months old, you have to set the 0:02:55.600 --> 0:02:58.919 standard of acceptable behavior. You have to take the kid 0:02:58.960 --> 0:03:02.359 outside and have conversation about what is allowed and not 0:03:02.520 --> 0:03:06.080 bring them back in until they understand that. Yes, you 0:03:06.240 --> 0:03:09.720 may have to keep doing this at many restaurants over time. 0:03:10.120 --> 0:03:13.560 We have very much been there. Again, I'm not offering 0:03:13.560 --> 0:03:15.680 you this advice because my kids are perfect. 0:03:15.880 --> 0:03:16.240 They're not. 0:03:17.080 --> 0:03:19.520 But I think we've done a good job, a hard 0:03:19.600 --> 0:03:23.359 job of laying down the groundwork early, and so far 0:03:23.560 --> 0:03:28.040 we have really good, well behaved kids. Now our oldest 0:03:28.040 --> 0:03:32.560 is fourteen. Could everything fall apart when they hit their teens. Sure, 0:03:33.360 --> 0:03:36.120 We're going to keep applying the same high standard to 0:03:36.160 --> 0:03:39.120 their behavior and take it from there. As always, I 0:03:39.240 --> 0:03:42.000 love hearing from listeners, and I'd love to hear your 0:03:42.040 --> 0:03:45.320 thoughts on all of this. Thanks for listening and have 0:03:45.400 --> 0:03:48.720 a safe Labor Day weekend. Coming up next and interview 0:03:48.760 --> 0:03:51.080 with Joe Kancha. Join us after the break. 0:03:54.280 --> 0:03:57.720 Welcome back to the Carol Markowitz Show on iHeartRadio. My 0:03:57.800 --> 0:04:01.160 guest today is Joe Kancha. Joe is a Fox News 0:04:01.160 --> 0:04:05.320 contributor and author of the new best selling book Progressively Worse. 0:04:05.400 --> 0:04:10.040 Why Today's Democrats Ain't your Daddy's Donkeys? Hi, Joell, Carol? 0:04:10.040 --> 0:04:12.000 How are you so nice to have you on? 0:04:12.520 --> 0:04:14.840 Absolutely? I'm so parts right now. I've ran to get 0:04:14.840 --> 0:04:17.040 here in like surgery heat. 0:04:17.520 --> 0:04:23.000 Yeah, well I support hydration. You drink as much as 0:04:23.040 --> 0:04:24.800 you need throughout the interview, coach, you. 0:04:24.720 --> 0:04:28.120 Know, all right, done deal. So, yeah, it's great to 0:04:28.120 --> 0:04:30.000 be here. I don't think we've ever done this thing before, but. 0:04:30.080 --> 0:04:32.920 No we have. You're very hard to get on, you know, 0:04:33.120 --> 0:04:34.039 you're you're a. 0:04:34.120 --> 0:04:37.400 Get like, yeah, tell it to my wife. 0:04:38.480 --> 0:04:40.680 I will actually tell that to your wife. Thank you, 0:04:41.160 --> 0:04:45.960 So Progressively Worse? Why Today's Democrats Ain't your Daddy's donkeys? 0:04:46.160 --> 0:04:47.279 What has changed? 0:04:47.920 --> 0:04:51.840 Oh so much? Right? I look at like John F. Kennedy. 0:04:52.040 --> 0:04:57.880 Kennedy was he pulled higher than any president in polling history, right? 0:04:57.880 --> 0:05:01.560 He was? He averaged seventy percent approval. Right, So I'm like, wow, 0:05:01.640 --> 0:05:04.719 he's a Democrat. What made him so popular? The truth 0:05:04.800 --> 0:05:08.040 is he would now be called an extreme Maggie Republican 0:05:08.040 --> 0:05:11.840 because seriously, nineteen sixty one he takes office, he inherits 0:05:11.880 --> 0:05:13.600 a recession. So what does he do. He doesn't do 0:05:13.640 --> 0:05:15.720 what Kamala Harris is doing now, which is to propose 0:05:15.800 --> 0:05:19.240 five trillion dollars in tax Sikes. He cut taxes as 0:05:19.279 --> 0:05:22.680 aggressively as any president had in our history, and we 0:05:22.720 --> 0:05:24.960 ended up getting something like seven percent GDP grow just 0:05:24.960 --> 0:05:28.400 a couple of years later. So smart idea. I believe 0:05:28.400 --> 0:05:30.359 in a strong military. It was a war hero himself, 0:05:31.000 --> 0:05:32.880 and most importantly, if you want to call it, most 0:05:32.880 --> 0:05:36.920 importantly based on Carol Markowitz's world, as far as why 0:05:36.960 --> 0:05:39.280 you moved away from New York to Florida. He didn't 0:05:39.279 --> 0:05:42.040 believe in racial quotas. He believed in the merit based system, 0:05:42.400 --> 0:05:44.800 and any Democrat that would utter that today, you know, 0:05:44.839 --> 0:05:47.880 the Party of Equity, would be cast out right, So 0:05:48.480 --> 0:05:50.599 that was JFK. Then I looked at all, right, Carter, 0:05:50.720 --> 0:05:51.880 he was a pretty bad president. 0:05:52.040 --> 0:05:55.200 Yeah, he was a pretty bad president, but he was a. 0:05:55.160 --> 0:05:56.919 Pro life Democratic president. 0:05:57.000 --> 0:05:57.720 Yeah, I've heard of. 0:05:57.800 --> 0:06:00.719 Now there's only one left in cong rest of the Senate. 0:06:00.800 --> 0:06:03.640 I mean, it's remarkable that the whole forty, right or no, 0:06:03.760 --> 0:06:04.440 he's the governor. 0:06:05.880 --> 0:06:07.960 It's a guy down in Texas, like in a very 0:06:07.960 --> 0:06:10.080 conservative district, and I forget who it is, but he's 0:06:10.120 --> 0:06:13.440 the last one. Maybe maybe it's quae Ar. Anyway, we 0:06:13.520 --> 0:06:17.400 gonna look that up. So again, AOC said, if you're 0:06:17.560 --> 0:06:20.080 pro life, you don't belong in this party. You know, 0:06:20.120 --> 0:06:23.240 the porny new doorsity and of you know, a big ten. No, 0:06:23.320 --> 0:06:26.200 not really, but then Bill Clinton's presidency, Carroll, that was 0:06:26.240 --> 0:06:29.240 the one that, really you go back and look at it, 0:06:29.279 --> 0:06:30.760 the first thing you think of is the blue dress 0:06:30.760 --> 0:06:33.920 and Monica, I get that guy enforced error ever, right, 0:06:34.360 --> 0:06:37.919 But up until that point, I'll I readily admit this. 0:06:37.960 --> 0:06:41.320 In nineteen ninety six, I voted for the guy because, boy, 0:06:41.560 --> 0:06:44.320 he governed like a Republican. I'm sorry. He declared the 0:06:44.320 --> 0:06:47.520 era of big government's over. He said that he wanted 0:06:47.560 --> 0:06:50.560 to pass welfare reform by working with new Gingridge, you know, 0:06:50.600 --> 0:06:53.320 the GOP speaker at the time, and they did, and 0:06:53.360 --> 0:06:55.480 then he passed a balanced budget amendment which is, we 0:06:55.520 --> 0:06:57.039 don't spend what we don't have, and we ended up 0:06:57.080 --> 0:06:59.760 having budget surpluses by the end of the nineties. We 0:06:59.800 --> 0:07:03.040 had peace, we had prosperity, and we had an articulate 0:07:03.080 --> 0:07:05.840 president who seemed to want to work with the other side. 0:07:05.839 --> 0:07:08.240 So in nineteen ninety six, I was young, it was 0:07:08.279 --> 0:07:09.520 a first election. I were voted. 0:07:09.560 --> 0:07:12.040 All of must make mistakes, you know, you think it 0:07:12.120 --> 0:07:15.239 was a mistake, though, I should say in nineteen ninety 0:07:15.280 --> 0:07:19.040 six I cast my first presidential vote for Ross Perot. 0:07:19.080 --> 0:07:21.320 And let me tell you that was not the Ross 0:07:21.320 --> 0:07:24.360 Perou moment, which was nineteen ninety two. This was four 0:07:24.440 --> 0:07:28.160 years later. So, like I said, all we all, we all, 0:07:28.200 --> 0:07:30.080 you know, have some funny votes in our past. 0:07:30.440 --> 0:07:31.840 Sure, but I thought it was a good one. I 0:07:31.840 --> 0:07:33.760 would stand by it today if I had a if 0:07:33.760 --> 0:07:35.800 I had a president that governed like Clinton did, because 0:07:35.840 --> 0:07:38.360 you go back and look at his remarks on illegal immigration, 0:07:38.840 --> 0:07:41.600 he makes Donald Trump sound like a wallflower. Right, these 0:07:41.600 --> 0:07:44.600 are people coming into our country illegally. They're stealing our jobs, 0:07:44.760 --> 0:07:47.160 they're exhausting our social services. You go back and watch 0:07:47.240 --> 0:07:49.040 these speeches, you're like, I could like this guy. And 0:07:49.040 --> 0:07:50.760 then the Crime Bill in nineteen ninety four, which Joe 0:07:50.760 --> 0:07:53.000 Biden was all for. That was the toughest you'll ever 0:07:53.040 --> 0:07:55.360 see out of any president. So I'm sorry. I mean 0:07:55.400 --> 0:07:57.120 that's I know, he had a D next to his name, 0:07:57.160 --> 0:07:59.960 but he basically was a Republican. And then things were 0:08:00.080 --> 0:08:02.320 started the ship with Barack Obama. And I think the 0:08:02.400 --> 0:08:06.000 media is who pushed this party in the direction that 0:08:06.040 --> 0:08:07.920 it is in now, which is like Thelma and Louise, 0:08:07.920 --> 0:08:10.400 like going off the cliff right to the left, right, 0:08:10.720 --> 0:08:13.880 And because you look at MSNBC, for example, Carol right 0:08:14.160 --> 0:08:16.880 and back in two thousand and four. Again I'm pretty 0:08:16.920 --> 0:08:19.640 young at the time, I appeared on that network fairly 0:08:19.680 --> 0:08:28.280 often because they were somewhat normal. Tucker Carlson, right, Michael yeah, yeah. 0:08:28.280 --> 0:08:31.400 Who else was there? Oh, Jesse Datura had a showc 0:08:31.560 --> 0:08:35.120 wows pretty reasonable guy. So you know, you go down 0:08:35.160 --> 0:08:37.200 the line and now you look at who they are today. 0:08:37.559 --> 0:08:41.040 They signed Roni McDaniel and she lasts one interview. She 0:08:41.160 --> 0:08:43.320 lasted twenty four hours at the network because they could 0:08:43.320 --> 0:08:45.840 not have a pro Trump person on that network. So 0:08:46.760 --> 0:08:49.439 MSNBC and CNN, which used to be quite reputable back 0:08:49.440 --> 0:08:53.440 in the nineties, exactly they they basically give Democrats their 0:08:53.480 --> 0:08:56.720 cues now on what they think and how they should govern, 0:08:57.080 --> 0:08:59.680 and all those cues obviously are you know, dead wrong 0:08:59.720 --> 0:09:01.480 when it comes to every policy you could think of, 0:09:01.480 --> 0:09:03.360 when it comes to raising taxes, when it comes to 0:09:03.360 --> 0:09:05.840 all the woke stuff, integration, you go down the line. 0:09:05.840 --> 0:09:08.959 And that's why we have Kamala Harris, this product of today, 0:09:09.080 --> 0:09:12.199 who is proposing things that I just am shaking my 0:09:12.240 --> 0:09:15.520 head at completely when she's not stealing ideas and policies. 0:09:15.600 --> 0:09:18.520 That's right, Yeah, But why do the Democrats listen? I mean, 0:09:18.559 --> 0:09:22.000 these media outlets are you know, in decline, are pretty 0:09:22.000 --> 0:09:24.480 openly in decline, and there's all this new media that 0:09:24.520 --> 0:09:28.800 people follow now and listen to. Why does any Why 0:09:28.800 --> 0:09:32.800 did the Democrats let these failing networks get away with it? 0:09:33.679 --> 0:09:38.120 I think Democrats in general, based on these are products 0:09:38.120 --> 0:09:40.319 of the sixties that we're seeing now, right, A lot 0:09:40.360 --> 0:09:43.280 of the ones that are older anyway, and the education 0:09:43.400 --> 0:09:48.000 system I think produces like an AOC And then I think, yeah, honestly, 0:09:48.320 --> 0:09:51.160 cable news still has influenced Joe Biden. We heard over 0:09:51.200 --> 0:09:53.559 and over that his favorite show to watch was Morning Joe, 0:09:53.640 --> 0:09:58.120 you know, Scarborough and Prazinski. So I think in the end, 0:09:58.360 --> 0:10:02.520 between that and social media, Carol, as far as we 0:10:02.600 --> 0:10:05.040 have we talked about New Gingrit's before and how he 0:10:05.080 --> 0:10:06.720 worked for Bill Clinton, and in the book we also 0:10:06.720 --> 0:10:10.480 talked about Tip O'Neill, who was a House speaker Democratic House. Yeah, 0:10:10.520 --> 0:10:12.760 worked for freakan like behind the scenes, let's have a 0:10:12.800 --> 0:10:15.959 drink after after work and we'll hammer out compromise for 0:10:16.000 --> 0:10:17.720 the good of the country. And they often did that. 0:10:17.720 --> 0:10:22.040 That's a good thing. I think now you have leading Democrats, 0:10:22.360 --> 0:10:26.280 they only exist for likes, for retweets on Twitter and 0:10:26.320 --> 0:10:29.760 to get invited on the Stephen Colbert. Solving problems is 0:10:29.840 --> 0:10:32.560 like a distant twenty eighth right, and you see that 0:10:32.640 --> 0:10:35.320 through AOC right. She hasn't passed. She hasn't even co 0:10:35.360 --> 0:10:38.520 sponsored one piece of legislation that has got to the floor, 0:10:38.679 --> 0:10:41.200 let alone like passing anything to make you know, her 0:10:41.200 --> 0:10:43.720 constituents lives better. And oh yeah, she killed the Amazon 0:10:43.760 --> 0:10:46.360 deal that would have bought tens of thousands of jobs 0:10:46.400 --> 0:10:49.720 to her district because she thought that that money should 0:10:49.720 --> 0:10:51.960 go to the government instead and then the government could 0:10:51.960 --> 0:10:54.679 fix stuff, which is not how it work. So that 0:10:54.720 --> 0:10:58.240 I think social media and traditional media really have pushed this. 0:10:58.400 --> 0:10:59.559 I'll put it this way. I'll leave it with this 0:10:59.600 --> 0:11:04.520 story on this particular topic. Twenty nineteen, CNN decides they're 0:11:04.520 --> 0:11:07.560 going to give every Democrat who's running for president a 0:11:07.640 --> 0:11:10.880 one hour town hall national airtime, and they all agree 0:11:11.080 --> 0:11:13.800 to take that deal, because, of course, you one of 0:11:13.840 --> 0:11:16.880 twenty four. You got to stand out somehow. But there's 0:11:16.920 --> 0:11:20.040 only one topic that these town halls focused on. The 0:11:20.120 --> 0:11:21.480 climate crisis is what. 0:11:21.800 --> 0:11:23.439 I was going to guess It was climate change? 0:11:23.520 --> 0:11:24.840 Do you remember that, right? Yeah? 0:11:24.880 --> 0:11:27.200 So, actually don't remember. But if I had to guess 0:11:27.280 --> 0:11:29.160 what would could be the one topic that CNN would 0:11:29.200 --> 0:11:32.040 make them focus on, I would have just guessed climate. 0:11:31.720 --> 0:11:34.199 Change, and you would have been exactly right. Yeah. And 0:11:34.400 --> 0:11:36.480 so what if you're, like the governor of Montana was 0:11:36.559 --> 0:11:38.319 running for the Democratic nomination at the time. It's a 0:11:38.320 --> 0:11:40.440 pretty moderate guy when the few that are left. And 0:11:40.679 --> 0:11:43.240 what if he wants to talk about energy or jobs, 0:11:43.400 --> 0:11:47.480 or trade or inflation or immigration, all these things that 0:11:47.520 --> 0:11:49.400 are top of mind for most Americans. No, if you 0:11:49.400 --> 0:11:51.000 teach you that you got to talk about the not 0:11:51.000 --> 0:11:53.160 even climate change, We're going to call it climate crisis. 0:11:53.160 --> 0:11:55.760 So you will automatically then say things like Kamala Harris 0:11:55.760 --> 0:11:58.560 did during the climate crisis town hall. That's where she 0:11:58.600 --> 0:12:00.880 said she was one hundred percent for banning fracking. That's 0:12:00.920 --> 0:12:02.560 where she said she wanted to end all fossil fuels. 0:12:02.600 --> 0:12:04.000 That's where she said she wanted to end all all 0:12:04.080 --> 0:12:06.240 Shorge Relli because she had to play along with the theme. 0:12:06.400 --> 0:12:08.560 And now she's your first course on all those things. 0:12:08.760 --> 0:12:11.400 So that's just one tiny example of how our media 0:12:11.400 --> 0:12:14.199 has pushed this Democratic Party to a place where they 0:12:14.240 --> 0:12:16.360 are not the party of Bill Clinton and John F. Kennedy. 0:12:16.400 --> 0:12:17.240 That is certainly for sure. 0:12:17.600 --> 0:12:20.080 But then, but then the media also doesn't hold her 0:12:20.120 --> 0:12:23.320 accountable for any of those reverses. I mean, shouldn't CNN 0:12:23.400 --> 0:12:26.320 be really angry that she lied during their town hall? 0:12:26.440 --> 0:12:29.360 Shouldn't they want answers on what changed for her? Where 0:12:29.360 --> 0:12:32.360 the policies you know, shifted along the way. I know 0:12:32.440 --> 0:12:35.760 it's hilarious, but like, isn't that what should happen? 0:12:36.200 --> 0:12:39.640 Oh? That would take integrity, right, That would actually take 0:12:39.720 --> 0:12:42.679 caring about your brand and your product. That yeah, you know, 0:12:43.280 --> 0:12:46.440 when she's on with Dana Bash, when she does this 0:12:46.520 --> 0:12:49.400 interview that's coming up. If I'm Dana Maryland. 0:12:49.440 --> 0:12:50.640 Yeah. 0:12:50.080 --> 0:12:52.400 Yeah, that's the first thing I play that is that 0:12:52.440 --> 0:12:54.640 I play back those clips from that town hall and 0:12:54.679 --> 0:12:58.000 I say, what's changed, Kamala? And if you are now 0:12:58.160 --> 0:13:01.720 for cracking, what does that mean for the environment? And 0:13:01.760 --> 0:13:03.760 then you'll watch the word salad like you've never seen 0:13:03.800 --> 0:13:07.000 it before. It's so easy to interview Kamala Harris at 0:13:07.000 --> 0:13:10.080 this point. And Dana Bash should be upset because Dana 0:13:10.080 --> 0:13:12.720 Bash was the one who hosted that climate change town 0:13:12.800 --> 0:13:14.960 hall with Kamala Harris and say, you told me this 0:13:15.040 --> 0:13:17.760 five years ago. Why have you changed on this now? 0:13:17.880 --> 0:13:20.079 Why do you support a border wall, the bonder wall 0:13:20.120 --> 0:13:23.560 that you called racist? What what has changed is exactly? 0:13:23.600 --> 0:13:26.720 And Kamala Harris, unlike Barack Obama, I'm like, even like 0:13:26.760 --> 0:13:29.040 a Jensaki does not have the ability to think. 0:13:28.840 --> 0:13:33.160 On her I called there to hold her hand, you know, 0:13:34.000 --> 0:13:34.680 I hope not. 0:13:34.840 --> 0:13:38.480 You know, I call her the Ron Burgundy candidate, because 0:13:38.760 --> 0:13:41.600 if you remember the movie Anchorman, whatever you put a teleprompter, 0:13:41.760 --> 0:13:47.480 Burgundy read right. So if I'm Dana Bash, I hope 0:13:47.480 --> 0:13:49.440 I get the Dana Bash that I got during the 0:13:49.480 --> 0:13:52.000 debate between Biden and Trumpert. I actually think that Bash 0:13:52.040 --> 0:13:54.160 and Tapper did a decent job that didn't make themselves 0:13:54.200 --> 0:13:56.400 the story. There wasn't the usual snark, and they asked 0:13:56.480 --> 0:13:58.920 questions that were relevant. I hope Dana Bash does that again, 0:13:58.960 --> 0:14:01.280 if she has any integ I guess we're going to 0:14:01.320 --> 0:14:02.760 have to see. But I don't have a lot of 0:14:02.800 --> 0:14:05.480 hope because it's one thing to do the questions fairly 0:14:05.520 --> 0:14:07.600 during a debate. It's another thing when it's on your 0:14:07.600 --> 0:14:09.840 home turf and you know your viewers don't want you 0:14:09.880 --> 0:14:11.760 to challenge this candidate too much because they only want 0:14:11.760 --> 0:14:13.680 her to win and for Donald Trump, and that's it. 0:14:14.080 --> 0:14:16.360 That's it. Yeah. I'm also I'm not holding out a 0:14:16.360 --> 0:14:19.200 lot of hope for Dna Besh to, you know, surprise 0:14:19.280 --> 0:14:22.240 Kamalo with some with some tough questions. But we'll see, 0:14:22.280 --> 0:14:24.520 We'll see. She's getting the only interview, like she has 0:14:24.560 --> 0:14:26.480 to kind of bring it. I don't think that she 0:14:26.480 --> 0:14:29.360 can give her complete softballs just because nobody else is 0:14:29.360 --> 0:14:32.920 getting to talk to the presidential nominee from the Democratic Party, 0:14:33.080 --> 0:14:36.040 and so I wonder, I wonder if she's going to 0:14:36.080 --> 0:14:39.680 be a little tougher than I think Republicans are expecting, 0:14:40.720 --> 0:14:42.640 but probably less tough than we would like her to 0:14:42.680 --> 0:14:43.480 be Yeah. 0:14:43.280 --> 0:14:45.800 But what's even tough, right, I mean, it's just well, 0:14:45.840 --> 0:14:46.120 like you. 0:14:46.040 --> 0:14:49.160 Said, just calling her on past positions would be huge. 0:14:49.440 --> 0:14:51.200 I wonder if she could do that. 0:14:51.200 --> 0:14:53.520 That's what Tim Russer used to do. Again. I'm praising 0:14:53.520 --> 0:14:54.960 all these people. I said, see it end a good 0:14:55.000 --> 0:14:57.080 job of the debate. Now I'm praising you. 0:14:57.120 --> 0:14:59.880 Get canceled, Joe, you know Rhino. 0:15:00.040 --> 0:15:02.400 I know it's month to watch and listen to. But 0:15:02.800 --> 0:15:05.200 if Carol Market has had three questions she could ask 0:15:05.240 --> 0:15:07.200 Kamala Harris if she had the interview, what would they do? 0:15:07.680 --> 0:15:11.040 I mean I think that why did you change on 0:15:11.080 --> 0:15:13.440 some of the biggest issues of our time? I would 0:15:13.480 --> 0:15:15.960 be she could take that could be the one question, 0:15:16.080 --> 0:15:18.920 take all the time we need to get to the answer. 0:15:20.040 --> 0:15:24.040 I guess I would want to know the explanation. But 0:15:24.160 --> 0:15:26.600 you know why should think something like price controls could work. 0:15:26.800 --> 0:15:29.920 It's it's something that's been like showing time time and 0:15:29.960 --> 0:15:32.360 again to not not only not work, but you know, 0:15:32.400 --> 0:15:35.800 to starve large swaths of the population, Like where did 0:15:35.800 --> 0:15:38.000 you come up with this? Who whispered this into your ear? 0:15:38.080 --> 0:15:40.160 Stuff like that. But you know that's why we're not 0:15:40.200 --> 0:15:42.640 going to be the ones doing the interviews and we'll 0:15:42.680 --> 0:15:43.480 see what happens. 0:15:43.760 --> 0:15:45.640 I would do those two and then my third would 0:15:45.640 --> 0:15:48.200 be can a man get pregnant? And do you believe men? 0:15:50.800 --> 0:15:54.440 That's really good. Yeah, that would be a well placed question. 0:15:55.560 --> 0:15:59.240 So what Yeah, sorry, when you think about like the 0:15:59.360 --> 0:16:02.560 questions to ask ask people like Kamala Harris, do you have, 0:16:03.200 --> 0:16:06.200 like what's your biggest cultural concern? What do you worry about? 0:16:07.000 --> 0:16:09.600 Worry about my kids the most. I have an eight 0:16:09.720 --> 0:16:11.720 year old. I have a ten year old. Actually, no, 0:16:11.760 --> 0:16:13.560 I have a nine year old. Now it's my son's. 0:16:13.280 --> 0:16:16.560 Birthday, Happy birthday, Yes. 0:16:16.200 --> 0:16:18.720 Thank you. He's going to something called I Fly tonight. 0:16:19.000 --> 0:16:22.520 Oh yeah, the wind thing where you're skydiving without having 0:16:22.560 --> 0:16:24.160 to jump out of a plane. So that's I didn't 0:16:24.160 --> 0:16:25.880 get that as a kid. That I don't know. No, 0:16:26.560 --> 0:16:28.880 So now, yeah, he's going to third grade. My daughter's 0:16:28.920 --> 0:16:32.440 going in the fifth grade, and I just I don't 0:16:32.520 --> 0:16:34.880 see it in my public school system. Thank god. I'm 0:16:34.920 --> 0:16:37.320 in New Jersey and you know it's a blue state. 0:16:37.680 --> 0:16:39.160 But I live in a town where we seem to 0:16:39.200 --> 0:16:41.680 have some common sense people in charge, and the border 0:16:41.720 --> 0:16:44.600 bed folks that have run recently the candidates have been 0:16:44.640 --> 0:16:46.720 to the right and they have won quite easily, so 0:16:46.840 --> 0:16:52.400 I'm not so worried about them now. But there's such 0:16:52.400 --> 0:16:56.600 an addiction to iPads. And my daughter asked me almost 0:16:56.600 --> 0:16:58.040 every day, can I get a phone? And I keep 0:16:58.040 --> 0:17:01.160 saying no, it's I'm going to lose her right once 0:17:01.200 --> 0:17:03.800 she has the phone. I'm no longer the hero anymore. 0:17:03.800 --> 0:17:05.520 I know, by the way, there's some really bad content 0:17:05.520 --> 0:17:08.199 on there. Once in a while, I'll walk in. I 0:17:08.200 --> 0:17:10.679 got on iPads, not because I'm a lazy parent. I'm 0:17:10.760 --> 0:17:12.960 quite the opposite. You follow me on social media. I 0:17:13.000 --> 0:17:15.760 do a lot with my kids, but sometimes I have 0:17:15.840 --> 0:17:17.960 to work, and sometimes they find the iPad that I 0:17:17.960 --> 0:17:19.639 got them because of COVID and we had to do 0:17:19.840 --> 0:17:21.920 stupid learning from home for nearly a year and a half, 0:17:22.520 --> 0:17:25.160 and they will find sites where I'm hearing about how 0:17:25.640 --> 0:17:28.520 I ran away from home when I was sixteen. I 0:17:28.560 --> 0:17:31.520 got pregnant and my boyfriend to get an abortion, and 0:17:31.640 --> 0:17:35.119 I ran across the room and I tripped over the 0:17:35.119 --> 0:17:37.600 puppy and nearly killed myself, like trying to get that 0:17:37.760 --> 0:17:40.240 I've made it away from her. So that's my worry 0:17:40.280 --> 0:17:42.240 that growing up I didn't have exposure to stuff like 0:17:42.280 --> 0:17:43.960 that and they do now. And I can try to 0:17:43.960 --> 0:17:46.080 control as much as I can, but we see the 0:17:46.080 --> 0:17:49.280 bullying that goes on. We see that teenage suicide rates 0:17:49.680 --> 0:17:51.119 are at all time high, and I think a lot 0:17:51.160 --> 0:17:53.360 of it is because of social media, and I keep 0:17:53.359 --> 0:17:55.399 them away from it for so long, But in the end, 0:17:55.400 --> 0:17:58.000 I guess I just have to hope that sports. They 0:17:58.000 --> 0:17:58.560 play a lot of. 0:17:58.560 --> 0:18:00.960 Sports, right, yeah, that time a sports. 0:18:01.560 --> 0:18:04.000 Yeah, yeah, No, I think. 0:18:03.760 --> 0:18:07.879 That I think that's that's it. My kids they absolutely 0:18:07.960 --> 0:18:09.760 use their iPads. You know. It's funny because I think 0:18:09.760 --> 0:18:12.560 that I talk about this a lot lately because I 0:18:12.600 --> 0:18:14.639 just think people are not paying attention to it. But 0:18:15.200 --> 0:18:18.440 the problem is much less social media. Now. Kids aren't 0:18:18.440 --> 0:18:21.040 really on social media. Your kids are not on Facebook 0:18:21.160 --> 0:18:25.960 or Twitter or Instagram, right, No, they're they're scrolling TikTok. 0:18:26.000 --> 0:18:27.639 While my kids, I don't let them have TikTok, But 0:18:27.640 --> 0:18:30.160 my kids are strolling the same thing. On YouTube. They're 0:18:30.400 --> 0:18:35.000 they're looking at YouTube shorts or on Instagram reels. They're 0:18:35.000 --> 0:18:37.560 all addicted to these like short videos that they take 0:18:37.600 --> 0:18:40.600 everywhere with them. And I just think the inability of 0:18:40.720 --> 0:18:45.399 kids to entertain themselves. Is it's sort of the bigger 0:18:45.520 --> 0:18:48.320 factor right now, much more so than we used to 0:18:48.359 --> 0:18:50.800 be concerned about bullying on social media. But again, I 0:18:50.800 --> 0:18:53.440 don't I don't see kids on social media anymore. They're 0:18:53.480 --> 0:18:56.800 on something else entirely, like they carry little TVs around 0:18:56.800 --> 0:19:00.200 with them. Basically, they're they're like I refer to is 0:19:00.240 --> 0:19:01.920 like when we were when we were kids, we'd watch 0:19:01.960 --> 0:19:04.960 Saturday morning cartoons, but then when we went to play outside, 0:19:05.000 --> 0:19:07.120 we didn't take time and jerry with us, And they 0:19:07.160 --> 0:19:09.560 do take it with them now. So that's sort of 0:19:09.600 --> 0:19:13.520 my tangential concern about kids and screens. I think that 0:19:13.560 --> 0:19:15.359 we're focusing on the wrong problems. 0:19:15.760 --> 0:19:17.960 You're right about that way. And you know what, parents 0:19:18.000 --> 0:19:20.359 are a little more rigid these days. And by that, 0:19:20.400 --> 0:19:23.359 I mean it used to be, let's say it snowed 0:19:23.400 --> 0:19:25.720 out and you got a snow day, I would go 0:19:25.800 --> 0:19:28.760 running out nine o'clock in the morning with my sled. 0:19:29.240 --> 0:19:30.840
