1 00:00:02,440 --> 00:00:05,920 Speaker 1: Hi, Welcome back to the Carol Markowitz Show on iHeartRadio. 2 00:00:06,440 --> 00:00:10,000 Speaker 1: The Carol Markowitz Show now airs Wednesdays and Fridays, So 3 00:00:10,080 --> 00:00:13,440 Speaker 1: you get this non political podcast, the Carol Marcowitz Show, 4 00:00:13,440 --> 00:00:17,360 Speaker 1: where I interview political people about non political topics on 5 00:00:17,440 --> 00:00:21,000 Speaker 1: Wednesday and Friday, and then you get normally the political 6 00:00:21,040 --> 00:00:24,600 Speaker 1: podcast I co host with Mary Catherine Ham every Tuesday 7 00:00:24,600 --> 00:00:27,840 Speaker 1: and Thursday. The only day you don't get me is Monday. 8 00:00:28,160 --> 00:00:31,560 Speaker 1: A question that I've been asked more than once now is. 9 00:00:31,480 --> 00:00:33,280 Speaker 2: This, Hi, Carol? 10 00:00:33,360 --> 00:00:36,959 Speaker 1: I love your monologues. I have two kids, sixteen and fourteen. 11 00:00:37,440 --> 00:00:39,919 Speaker 1: There are good kids, but rebelling against what we've been 12 00:00:39,960 --> 00:00:42,800 Speaker 1: teaching them at home. We're still hopeful that our values 13 00:00:42,840 --> 00:00:46,120 Speaker 1: will translate as they get older, but sometimes it seems 14 00:00:46,159 --> 00:00:48,559 Speaker 1: like they are challenging us just for the sake of it. 15 00:00:49,040 --> 00:00:51,360 Speaker 1: How do you know your children won't rebel from what 16 00:00:51,400 --> 00:00:54,760 Speaker 1: you teach them? Well, I definitely don't know that, and 17 00:00:55,000 --> 00:00:58,800 Speaker 1: I imagine they will rebel at various points in their lives. 18 00:00:59,040 --> 00:00:59,880 Speaker 3: They already do so. 19 00:01:00,000 --> 00:01:04,000 Speaker 1: Some times my fourteen year old challenges things I say. 20 00:01:04,319 --> 00:01:08,600 Speaker 1: Often it's actually worse for me when she doesn't challenge 21 00:01:08,600 --> 00:01:11,920 Speaker 1: what I say. But I can tell she disagrees. It's 22 00:01:11,959 --> 00:01:15,480 Speaker 1: far better to have the lines of communication open. I 23 00:01:15,480 --> 00:01:18,480 Speaker 1: guess the thing with kids is that, of course they're 24 00:01:18,520 --> 00:01:21,560 Speaker 1: going to go on their own path, and even the 25 00:01:21,640 --> 00:01:24,880 Speaker 1: things they might want for themselves could not turn out 26 00:01:24,880 --> 00:01:28,200 Speaker 1: as planned. So if my kids decide they don't want 27 00:01:28,240 --> 00:01:30,600 Speaker 1: to get married and have children, if they end up 28 00:01:30,640 --> 00:01:34,560 Speaker 1: being woke leftists with bad ideals, I'll love them and 29 00:01:34,640 --> 00:01:37,760 Speaker 1: embrace them all the same. And if things don't work 30 00:01:37,800 --> 00:01:39,720 Speaker 1: out the way that they want them to say that 31 00:01:39,800 --> 00:01:42,080 Speaker 1: they do want marriage and children, but it just doesn't 32 00:01:42,080 --> 00:01:44,440 Speaker 1: happen for them, I'll do my best to try to 33 00:01:44,480 --> 00:01:46,920 Speaker 1: help them and support them in whatever way I can. 34 00:01:47,720 --> 00:01:49,840 Speaker 3: And look, I'll be surprised. 35 00:01:49,320 --> 00:01:52,120 Speaker 1: If they go against everything that we've talked about in 36 00:01:52,160 --> 00:01:55,840 Speaker 1: our home throughout their lives, but I'll understand that it's 37 00:01:55,880 --> 00:01:59,520 Speaker 1: their life to live. Beyond that, I think it's important 38 00:01:59,560 --> 00:02:04,000 Speaker 1: to Understan and the teenagers are trying on personalities. I 39 00:02:04,040 --> 00:02:07,000 Speaker 1: remember living in Scotland when I was nineteen and being 40 00:02:07,080 --> 00:02:11,360 Speaker 1: really irolly about America. It was just so uncool, man. 41 00:02:11,880 --> 00:02:14,280 Speaker 1: But by the second time I lived in Scotland at 42 00:02:14,280 --> 00:02:17,960 Speaker 1: twenty one, I was already different and defensive of my 43 00:02:18,040 --> 00:02:21,120 Speaker 1: home country. I remember telling a French guy who was 44 00:02:21,560 --> 00:02:24,400 Speaker 1: talking smack about America that he'd be speaking German if 45 00:02:24,400 --> 00:02:27,560 Speaker 1: it wasn't for us. I was over the America hatred, 46 00:02:27,800 --> 00:02:30,200 Speaker 1: although it really did grip me for a moment there. 47 00:02:30,639 --> 00:02:31,320 Speaker 3: You also have. 48 00:02:31,320 --> 00:02:34,440 Speaker 1: To just let these kids go through their phases and 49 00:02:34,520 --> 00:02:37,880 Speaker 1: hope that they'll come out right on the other side. 50 00:02:37,919 --> 00:02:40,600 Speaker 1: All of this said, it's important to keep talking to 51 00:02:40,639 --> 00:02:43,639 Speaker 1: them and laying down that foundation that we talk about 52 00:02:43,639 --> 00:02:47,560 Speaker 1: on here. Do it often. Yes, your kids may be 53 00:02:47,600 --> 00:02:51,400 Speaker 1: totally different from you and end up not sharing your values, 54 00:02:51,800 --> 00:02:55,359 Speaker 1: but don't let that be because you didn't talk about 55 00:02:55,400 --> 00:02:59,200 Speaker 1: those values or try to impart what was important coming 56 00:02:59,280 --> 00:03:03,520 Speaker 1: up my inner with Justine brook Murray.

You 86 00:04:50,720 --> 00:04:51,880 Speaker 1: were a beauty queen. 87 00:04:53,400 --> 00:04:53,640 Speaker 3: Yep. 88 00:04:53,880 --> 00:04:56,400 Speaker 1: I am you I I'm Beauty Queen or where is it? 89 00:04:57,680 --> 00:05:01,800 Speaker 4: I was Miss Central Jersey in Missy Jersey competition this 90 00:05:01,960 --> 00:05:02,600 Speaker 4: past year. 91 00:05:03,120 --> 00:05:05,480 Speaker 2: Every year I win a local title and. 92 00:05:05,360 --> 00:05:09,080 Speaker 4: Then there's the state competition, and every candidate has to 93 00:05:09,120 --> 00:05:13,160 Speaker 4: compete with a platform or a community cause minds on 94 00:05:13,279 --> 00:05:14,040 Speaker 4: free speech. 95 00:05:14,480 --> 00:05:16,120 Speaker 3: Some people say maybe in. 96 00:05:16,080 --> 00:05:19,280 Speaker 2: Order to win the state title, I tod which to. 97 00:05:19,320 --> 00:05:27,280 Speaker 1: Like environmentalism right clogori changed mental health LGB alphabet. That's great. 98 00:05:27,320 --> 00:05:28,200 Speaker 2: How did you get into that? 99 00:05:29,279 --> 00:05:32,840 Speaker 4: When I was in high school, it was we're all 100 00:05:32,839 --> 00:05:35,120 Speaker 4: for a couple of days because it was a snowstorm. 101 00:05:35,240 --> 00:05:38,440 Speaker 2: It was very depressing, and I was a little bit bored. 102 00:05:38,640 --> 00:05:42,679 Speaker 4: And I had a friend who she was Miss teen Jersey, USA, 103 00:05:43,080 --> 00:05:45,760 Speaker 4: and she was a little bit older than me, and 104 00:05:45,920 --> 00:05:48,840 Speaker 4: I asked my mom, hey, this sounds really fun. And 105 00:05:48,880 --> 00:05:52,520 Speaker 4: I originally joined as a teenager for this idea of 106 00:05:52,600 --> 00:05:55,840 Speaker 4: the glitz and the glamour and my mother, who let 107 00:05:55,880 --> 00:05:58,600 Speaker 4: me do acting all those years. At first, she was 108 00:05:58,600 --> 00:06:00,440 Speaker 4: a little bit against it because she knew really know 109 00:06:00,560 --> 00:06:04,160 Speaker 4: what she was getting herself or me as a kid 110 00:06:04,480 --> 00:06:09,080 Speaker 4: or a young adult at the time into. But it 111 00:06:09,160 --> 00:06:13,680 Speaker 4: turned out to be something entirely different because the organization. 112 00:06:13,760 --> 00:06:15,039 Speaker 3: I joined Miss America. 113 00:06:15,080 --> 00:06:19,479 Speaker 4: It's the oldest competition in this country. It's it's an 114 00:06:19,720 --> 00:06:25,880 Speaker 4: iconic competition. It devolved, not devolved, It was evolved into 115 00:06:26,640 --> 00:06:32,320 Speaker 4: more about showcasing your talent, showcasing how well rounded young 116 00:06:32,400 --> 00:06:33,520 Speaker 4: women can become. 117 00:06:33,600 --> 00:06:35,480 Speaker 2: So it was a little bit of a boot camp. 118 00:06:35,560 --> 00:06:39,919 Speaker 4: I found it into becoming a young adult member of 119 00:06:40,040 --> 00:06:44,440 Speaker 4: society and eventually into my career as a political commentator 120 00:06:44,680 --> 00:06:45,919 Speaker 4: and professional cavechure. 121 00:06:47,320 --> 00:06:50,240 Speaker 1: That's that's very interesting, Like would you recommend it to 122 00:06:50,640 --> 00:06:53,039 Speaker 1: young people, like younger people to get into that? 123 00:06:53,240 --> 00:06:53,760 Speaker 4: Is that? Like? 124 00:06:54,120 --> 00:06:55,520 Speaker 1: Do you consider it a positive? 125 00:06:56,640 --> 00:07:02,480 Speaker 4: Certainly, there's I've had a wonderful time, a wonderful about 126 00:07:02,560 --> 00:07:06,400 Speaker 4: ten years of an experience in the pageant world, and 127 00:07:06,480 --> 00:07:09,640 Speaker 4: of course it comes with its ups and downs because 128 00:07:09,640 --> 00:07:12,200 Speaker 4: you have to get comfortable with a lot of rejection 129 00:07:12,640 --> 00:07:16,200 Speaker 4: and a lot of losing. But I consider it a girls' 130 00:07:16,280 --> 00:07:17,960 Speaker 4: version of football. 131 00:07:18,080 --> 00:07:19,080 Speaker 3: Football is to. 132 00:07:19,120 --> 00:07:22,280 Speaker 2: Guys as the pageant world is to girls. 133 00:07:22,680 --> 00:07:25,800 Speaker 4: And you're actually less likely to have a daughter compete 134 00:07:25,840 --> 00:07:29,240 Speaker 4: in Miss America than you would have a son compete 135 00:07:29,280 --> 00:07:30,280 Speaker 4: in the Super Bowl. 136 00:07:30,440 --> 00:07:32,800 Speaker 1: Of course, Yeah, that makes sense. How did you become 137 00:07:32,800 --> 00:07:36,360 Speaker 1: a political commentator when I was. 138 00:07:36,560 --> 00:07:39,160 Speaker 2: In high school. It seems everything started for me. 139 00:07:39,560 --> 00:07:41,400 Speaker 1: I think that's in high school good, and not a 140 00:07:41,400 --> 00:07:43,560 Speaker 1: lot of people have that early start. I feel like 141 00:07:43,600 --> 00:07:45,720 Speaker 1: a lot of the stories on this show are like, 142 00:07:46,120 --> 00:07:47,840 Speaker 1: I don't know. And then I was thirty and I 143 00:07:47,920 --> 00:07:48,240 Speaker 1: sort of. 144 00:07:48,160 --> 00:07:50,600 Speaker 3: Fell into this exactly. 145 00:07:51,200 --> 00:07:54,480 Speaker 4: I was dragged around by my parents actually to local 146 00:07:54,600 --> 00:07:58,600 Speaker 4: New Jersey political events because they were involved in very 147 00:07:58,760 --> 00:08:03,560 Speaker 4: local politics. But I saw how my school, even then, 148 00:08:03,760 --> 00:08:09,160 Speaker 4: this was back in twenty thirteen, twenty sixteen, this was 149 00:08:09,200 --> 00:08:13,800 Speaker 4: when cancel culture and wokeness really became popular, and I 150 00:08:13,840 --> 00:08:15,720 Speaker 4: saw how you really. 151 00:08:15,480 --> 00:08:16,560 Speaker 2: Couldn't say anything. 152 00:08:16,640 --> 00:08:21,160 Speaker 4: Even back then, I was always an advocate for free speech. 153 00:08:21,520 --> 00:08:24,040 Speaker 4: I come from a family who they all we love 154 00:08:24,120 --> 00:08:29,000 Speaker 4: to do is yeah. My mom she's a stereotypical Jewish lawyer, 155 00:08:29,520 --> 00:08:32,280 Speaker 4: so she likes to complain and argue. And my dad 156 00:08:32,320 --> 00:08:36,840 Speaker 4: he's Irish, so he's loud. So we are very politically 157 00:08:36,920 --> 00:08:40,200 Speaker 4: incorrect in my family. And when I attended high school 158 00:08:40,600 --> 00:08:43,920 Speaker 4: and was told you couldn't say this, this, and this, 159 00:08:44,160 --> 00:08:47,800 Speaker 4: we were pulled into diversity meetings, it really marked a 160 00:08:47,840 --> 00:08:50,680 Speaker 4: turning point for me, and it made me a campus 161 00:08:50,720 --> 00:08:54,000 Speaker 4: activist during my years in college, I became a free 162 00:08:54,000 --> 00:08:58,680 Speaker 4: speech advocate, and my reporting on my school's violation of 163 00:08:58,679 --> 00:09:01,600 Speaker 4: the First Amendment got me invited to stand next to 164 00:09:02,080 --> 00:09:05,040 Speaker 4: President Trump at the time when he signed an executive 165 00:09:05,120 --> 00:09:07,120 Speaker 4: order defending free speech on campus. 166 00:09:07,679 --> 00:09:09,760 Speaker 1: And did that make you very popular in the blue 167 00:09:09,760 --> 00:09:10,760 Speaker 1: state of New Jersey. 168 00:09:11,960 --> 00:09:16,040 Speaker 4: Nope, it made me even more unpopular at my college 169 00:09:16,080 --> 00:09:20,680 Speaker 4: at Syracuse University, where I was met with my own professors, 170 00:09:21,080 --> 00:09:24,960 Speaker 4: they sent me very not so nice messages. They posted 171 00:09:25,160 --> 00:09:28,480 Speaker 4: about me on their Facebook pages, people came up to 172 00:09:28,520 --> 00:09:31,880 Speaker 4: me on campus. I was surrounded by mobs because I 173 00:09:31,920 --> 00:09:36,319 Speaker 4: was trying to cover more of these BLM style, mostly 174 00:09:36,400 --> 00:09:42,199 Speaker 4: peaceful protests. Right this started even before twenty twenty. My 175 00:09:42,640 --> 00:09:46,640 Speaker 4: university was kind of a precursor to what we saw 176 00:09:46,679 --> 00:09:48,840 Speaker 4: in twenty twenty, or at least for me, it was 177 00:09:48,920 --> 00:09:52,880 Speaker 4: foreshadowing that because I saw it on a smaller scale 178 00:09:52,880 --> 00:09:57,199 Speaker 4: on my campus and then it just completely blew up 179 00:09:57,520 --> 00:10:00,760 Speaker 4: nationally after the whole George Floyd debacle. 180 00:10:01,120 --> 00:10:04,800 Speaker 1: Interesting, so I didn't realize that there were these BLM protests. 181 00:10:05,040 --> 00:10:07,000 Speaker 1: I mean, I heard of the organization before, but I 182 00:10:07,000 --> 00:10:10,280 Speaker 1: didn't realize they were active before George Floyd. 183 00:10:10,600 --> 00:10:14,480 Speaker 4: Yep, they were pretty active even when I was in 184 00:10:14,559 --> 00:10:18,079 Speaker 4: high school. I'm trying to remember the first the whole 185 00:10:18,160 --> 00:10:20,600 Speaker 4: police debate, the police shooting. 186 00:10:20,720 --> 00:10:22,240 Speaker 3: I think it was Trayeon Martin. 187 00:10:22,600 --> 00:10:24,640 Speaker 4: When I was in high school, that was the big 188 00:10:24,760 --> 00:10:28,280 Speaker 4: popular thing to be outraged over. And it was actually 189 00:10:28,360 --> 00:10:31,800 Speaker 4: the first time I was canceled. In twenty sixteen. It 190 00:10:31,880 --> 00:10:35,680 Speaker 4: was my senior year of high school. And this was 191 00:10:35,800 --> 00:10:40,400 Speaker 4: also when clown costumes were being canceled on Halloween, because all. 192 00:10:40,280 --> 00:10:44,560 Speaker 2: Costumes, really I remember no one of being canceled exactly. 193 00:10:44,800 --> 00:10:46,200 Speaker 2: Everything's cultural proporation. 194 00:10:46,960 --> 00:10:50,640 Speaker 4: Clowns were bad because some stupid kids were dressing up 195 00:10:50,679 --> 00:10:52,920 Speaker 4: as clowns and scaring kids. 196 00:10:52,920 --> 00:10:54,080 Speaker 2: Other kids on Halloween. 197 00:10:54,440 --> 00:10:56,600 Speaker 4: So I dressed up as a clown for the Halloween 198 00:10:56,640 --> 00:10:58,480 Speaker 4: parade that year, and I held up a sign that 199 00:10:58,559 --> 00:11:05,959 Speaker 4: said clown lives. Everything was everything was behind high school. 200 00:11:06,280 --> 00:11:07,680 Speaker 4: This was in high school and you. 201 00:11:07,720 --> 00:11:08,840 Speaker 3: Still got to go to college. 202 00:11:08,840 --> 00:11:09,480 Speaker 2: That's amazing. 203 00:11:10,120 --> 00:11:13,120 Speaker 4: I know. I was a little bit surprised because I 204 00:11:13,160 --> 00:11:15,559 Speaker 4: thought in the moment, I thought, oh no. 205 00:11:15,679 --> 00:11:19,760 Speaker 2: Like this might this might be it. This an entire school. 206 00:11:20,240 --> 00:11:23,880 Speaker 4: Even the teachers gathered around in diversity meetings for that 207 00:11:23,920 --> 00:11:24,400 Speaker 4: whole week. 208 00:11:24,440 --> 00:11:27,800 Speaker 2: This was after I won. They gave me the scariest 209 00:11:27,840 --> 00:11:29,040 Speaker 2: Halloween costume award. 210 00:11:29,160 --> 00:11:32,520 Speaker 4: The same teachers who reward me with that the next 211 00:11:32,559 --> 00:11:38,640 Speaker 4: day because some kid posted some blm docs like posts 212 00:11:38,640 --> 00:11:42,120 Speaker 4: about me and my family my mom my pageant. Suddenly 213 00:11:42,160 --> 00:11:44,560 Speaker 4: the same people who thought it was funny the next 214 00:11:44,600 --> 00:11:45,640 Speaker 4: day they were outraged. 215 00:11:45,840 --> 00:11:48,720 Speaker 1: Right, that's how communism works. You get each other into 216 00:11:48,840 --> 00:11:49,760 Speaker 1: line very quickly. 217 00:11:51,040 --> 00:11:52,520 Speaker 3: Exactly exactly. 218 00:11:53,360 --> 00:11:56,400 Speaker 4: But I learned at a young age how how scary 219 00:11:56,440 --> 00:11:59,400 Speaker 4: at the time cancel culture can be. But then I 220 00:11:59,480 --> 00:12:04,800 Speaker 4: learned that instead of apologizing or instead of freaking out 221 00:12:05,000 --> 00:12:06,959 Speaker 4: or going oh my god, oh my god, I'm sorry, 222 00:12:07,120 --> 00:12:11,319 Speaker 4: or ending everything you're doing, you have to just wait 223 00:12:11,360 --> 00:12:15,160 Speaker 4: it out for a week, right, or a couple of days, and. 224 00:12:15,160 --> 00:12:18,040 Speaker 1: They move on to canceling someone else. Somebody else becomes 225 00:12:18,080 --> 00:12:19,600 Speaker 1: the main character in their lives. 226 00:12:19,679 --> 00:12:21,760 Speaker 3: So exactly. 227 00:12:22,000 --> 00:12:25,760 Speaker 4: Yeah, President Trump won but his first term the next week, 228 00:12:25,920 --> 00:12:28,200 Speaker 4: so everything turned out fine. 229 00:12:29,120 --> 00:12:32,600 Speaker 1: Do you sense any optimism that any of this is 230 00:12:32,640 --> 00:12:36,760 Speaker 1: going away now? I feel like there's an optimism in 231 00:12:36,800 --> 00:12:40,000 Speaker 1: the air across the country with this second Trump win. 232 00:12:40,440 --> 00:12:42,760 Speaker 3: Where I don't think I felt it. 233 00:12:42,840 --> 00:12:45,160 Speaker 1: I mean, it definitely didn't feel in twenty sixteen or 234 00:12:45,320 --> 00:12:49,640 Speaker 1: in twenty twenty but it seems like the you know, 235 00:12:50,160 --> 00:12:52,720 Speaker 1: no more bs is sort of the line of the day, 236 00:12:53,000 --> 00:12:55,920 Speaker 1: and that people are like, this is not going to 237 00:12:56,000 --> 00:12:58,200 Speaker 1: go on anymore. You're not going to get to cancel help. 238 00:12:58,679 --> 00:13:02,559 Speaker 1: You know, high schoolstudents who were clown costume anymore. 239 00:13:04,240 --> 00:13:08,840 Speaker 4: Very optimistic, and I think it shows with the Daniel 240 00:13:08,920 --> 00:13:15,160 Speaker 4: Penny verdict. I really believe that, you know, our activist 241 00:13:15,400 --> 00:13:20,320 Speaker 4: DA and all of our activist lawmakers in our blue 242 00:13:20,320 --> 00:13:23,479 Speaker 4: cities are suddenly realizing that people. 243 00:13:23,240 --> 00:13:25,479 Speaker 2: Are fed up BLM. 244 00:13:25,840 --> 00:13:29,120 Speaker 4: I love the fact that on social media they're getting 245 00:13:29,200 --> 00:13:34,480 Speaker 4: ratio in every tweet their official page. And to think 246 00:13:34,559 --> 00:13:39,320 Speaker 4: that would happen in twenty white right when that was 247 00:13:39,520 --> 00:13:44,480 Speaker 4: the only ideology you could publicly express was support for 248 00:13:44,800 --> 00:13:48,480 Speaker 4: blam for this cult for what became a money laundering 249 00:13:48,720 --> 00:13:55,000 Speaker 4: terrorist organization. And remember I remember being so afraid back. 250 00:13:54,760 --> 00:13:55,600 Speaker 2: In twenty twenty. 251 00:13:55,720 --> 00:13:58,360 Speaker 4: I think at that point I had reached maybe the 252 00:13:58,400 --> 00:14:00,760 Speaker 4: third time I was people were trying to cancel me 253 00:14:01,240 --> 00:14:02,040 Speaker 4: for something. 254 00:14:02,760 --> 00:14:04,240 Speaker 3: I always get canceled on a holiday. 255 00:14:04,240 --> 00:14:08,920 Speaker 4: I was canceled on two Thanksgivings for an anti indigenous post. 256 00:14:09,760 --> 00:14:15,160 Speaker 4: They'll just look for anything, and particularly times when people 257 00:14:15,280 --> 00:14:18,959 Speaker 4: just want to enjoy the holidays. I think the entire 258 00:14:19,000 --> 00:14:21,760 Speaker 4: goal of cancel culture is just to stamp out any 259 00:14:21,920 --> 00:14:26,120 Speaker 4: fun and laughter and smiles. But I was scared at 260 00:14:26,160 --> 00:14:30,680 Speaker 4: the time, and now looking back, I laugh a little bit, 261 00:14:30,760 --> 00:14:33,520 Speaker 4: and I wish I could tell myself and anybody who 262 00:14:33,560 --> 00:14:36,840 Speaker 4: was canceled in twenty twenty, just hold it out. Tides 263 00:14:36,840 --> 00:14:39,240 Speaker 4: are going to turn, and surely they're turning. 264 00:14:40,000 --> 00:14:42,440 Speaker 3: What do you worry about getting older? 265 00:14:44,040 --> 00:14:48,440 Speaker 4: It's not that bad, I hear my grandma always tells me, 266 00:14:48,840 --> 00:14:50,480 Speaker 4: never get old, never get old. 267 00:14:50,800 --> 00:14:53,560 Speaker 2: I think, thank you, Grandma, thank you for that lovely advice. 268 00:14:53,640 --> 00:14:55,840 Speaker 2: You know, I'll tell my kids it beats the alternative, 269 00:14:56,120 --> 00:14:56,320 Speaker 2: you know. 270 00:14:56,760 --> 00:15:00,560 Speaker 4: So that's that's true. That's a positive way to look 271 00:15:00,600 --> 00:15:04,680 Speaker 4: at it. And with that, I guess becoming older, becoming older, 272 00:15:04,800 --> 00:15:07,640 Speaker 4: you gain more experience, life experience. 273 00:15:08,440 --> 00:15:10,280 Speaker 2: I would love to have a family someday. 274 00:15:10,920 --> 00:15:14,920 Speaker 4: I guess my fear about getting older is getting older 275 00:15:14,920 --> 00:15:17,440 Speaker 4: without being able to do the things that I would 276 00:15:17,480 --> 00:15:20,840 Speaker 4: love to do. And with that being said, my parents 277 00:15:21,080 --> 00:15:24,120 Speaker 4: they had me when they were a little bit older, 278 00:15:24,240 --> 00:15:27,760 Speaker 4: so I worry about not being able to spend time 279 00:15:27,800 --> 00:15:28,680 Speaker 4: with them anymore. 280 00:15:29,320 --> 00:15:33,480 Speaker 3: Their knock on wood, their good shape. 281 00:15:34,320 --> 00:15:38,040 Speaker 4: I wouldn't want to jinx that, but my family is 282 00:15:38,080 --> 00:15:42,320 Speaker 4: my life. And to get older and to see the 283 00:15:42,360 --> 00:15:45,000 Speaker 4: people who've taken care of you your entire life now 284 00:15:45,440 --> 00:15:48,080 Speaker 4: you have to take care of them you bring you 285 00:15:48,160 --> 00:15:51,240 Speaker 4: have all this new responsibility on yourself, and the tides 286 00:15:51,320 --> 00:15:52,240 Speaker 4: kind of turn. 287 00:15:54,920 --> 00:15:57,359 Speaker 2: That does give me a little bit of anxiety. 288 00:15:58,480 --> 00:16:03,200 Speaker 1: Yeah, and I get that since October seventh, you've been 289 00:16:03,720 --> 00:16:07,040 Speaker 1: really outspoken. I think that that's been sort of where 290 00:16:07,120 --> 00:16:09,200 Speaker 1: I I mean, I knew who you were before, but 291 00:16:09,240 --> 00:16:12,040 Speaker 1: I think I mostly heard from you since then. 292 00:16:12,360 --> 00:16:15,360 Speaker 3: What you know, what kind of changed you since then? 293 00:16:15,520 --> 00:16:20,120 Speaker 4: That's a great question I always thought, and I mostly 294 00:16:20,600 --> 00:16:26,760 Speaker 4: faced anti semitism from the left. But one major lesson 295 00:16:26,800 --> 00:16:30,760 Speaker 4: I've learned is that anti Semitism, it really knows no 296 00:16:30,880 --> 00:16:36,560 Speaker 4: political party. Unfortunately, one political party, the Democrat Party and. 297 00:16:36,520 --> 00:16:37,360 Speaker 2: The left as a whole. 298 00:16:37,400 --> 00:16:40,760 Speaker 4: They mainstreamed it the mean and with that goes the 299 00:16:40,800 --> 00:16:46,080 Speaker 4: mainstream media. But anti Semitism is the oldest hatred in 300 00:16:46,120 --> 00:16:50,360 Speaker 4: the book, and it's such an interrrational hatred. And to 301 00:16:51,240 --> 00:16:54,680 Speaker 4: have known so many friends who have suddenly stopped talking 302 00:16:54,720 --> 00:16:57,120 Speaker 4: to me, or turned on me, or. 303 00:16:57,080 --> 00:16:59,920 Speaker 2: Turned on the Jewish people, or I even have some. 304 00:17:00,000 --> 00:17:02,960 Speaker 4: Friends who have said, oh, I still love you, Justine, 305 00:17:03,160 --> 00:17:06,199 Speaker 4: just like not, you know, not the other Jews to 306 00:17:06,480 --> 00:17:11,119 Speaker 4: face something that my mother had had faced when she 307 00:17:11,320 --> 00:17:13,840 Speaker 4: was young and she was growing up in school, and 308 00:17:13,960 --> 00:17:18,160 Speaker 4: to hear from my mom, you know, you might want 309 00:17:18,160 --> 00:17:20,720 Speaker 4: to tuck your star of David in on the subways. 310 00:17:20,960 --> 00:17:23,119 Speaker 4: In fact, that's all she told me every day before 311 00:17:23,160 --> 00:17:25,480 Speaker 4: I went to work. I commuted in this city to 312 00:17:25,600 --> 00:17:28,639 Speaker 4: the city from New Jersey when October seventh happens, and 313 00:17:28,720 --> 00:17:32,600 Speaker 4: my mom scolded me every day, saying, tuck your star in. 314 00:17:33,200 --> 00:17:34,280 Speaker 3: I don't want you to get hurt. 315 00:17:34,680 --> 00:17:37,240 Speaker 4: And I was a little bit angry because I thought, 316 00:17:37,280 --> 00:17:39,960 Speaker 4: wait a minute, I'm not going why are we Why 317 00:17:40,040 --> 00:17:41,240 Speaker 4: are we cave into this? 318 00:17:41,400 --> 00:17:45,960 Speaker 2: Why are we letting in the city of all places exactly. 319 00:17:45,840 --> 00:17:47,720 Speaker 4: Why are we letting the people who want us to 320 00:17:47,760 --> 00:17:52,679 Speaker 4: live in fear live in fear. I'm a very stubborn person, 321 00:17:52,720 --> 00:17:56,040 Speaker 4: and I think it's because of my dad's Irish roots. 322 00:17:56,960 --> 00:18:01,360 Speaker 4: Jos are pretty stubborn too, It's true, we're very so 323 00:18:02,080 --> 00:18:06,520 Speaker 4: it feels like a good combination. And to this day, 324 00:18:06,560 --> 00:18:09,160 Speaker 4: my mom always says be careful. But she's a stereotypical 325 00:18:09,200 --> 00:18:15,119 Speaker 4: neurotic Jewish mother. She's never been to Israel. I'm the 326 00:18:15,160 --> 00:18:18,080 Speaker 4: first person in my immediate family to go to Israel. 327 00:18:18,280 --> 00:18:22,080 Speaker 4: And then I went again after October seventh to tour 328 00:18:22,119 --> 00:18:25,200 Speaker 4: the carnage. And I remember my mom, Oh, my god, 329 00:18:25,240 --> 00:18:27,600 Speaker 4: when I told her that I was going to Israel, 330 00:18:27,720 --> 00:18:31,800 Speaker 4: she freaked out, Oh, You're gonna get kidnapped. I heard everything, 331 00:18:32,160 --> 00:18:33,760 Speaker 4: every fear coming from her. 332 00:18:34,320 --> 00:18:35,680 Speaker 3: And I remember one day. 333 00:18:35,520 --> 00:18:38,600 Speaker 4: Waking up in my hotel room five in the morning, 334 00:18:38,680 --> 00:18:41,639 Speaker 4: Israel time to a call for my mom and she goes, 335 00:18:43,160 --> 00:18:47,520 Speaker 4: are you in Egypt? No, Mom, I'm I'm in Jerusalem 336 00:18:47,640 --> 00:18:51,960 Speaker 4: with my roommate. And this was because she forced me 337 00:18:52,119 --> 00:18:53,960 Speaker 4: to share my location with her. 338 00:18:54,040 --> 00:18:56,880 Speaker 2: She still has my location all these months later. 339 00:18:57,320 --> 00:19:01,000 Speaker 1: But Joel was scrambling the GPS. I know, yeah, when 340 00:19:01,000 --> 00:19:03,960 Speaker 1: I was there in the march, they, like my think, 341 00:19:04,000 --> 00:19:08,040 Speaker 1: kept saying I was in Lebanon. Yeah, so, Shane's why 342 00:19:08,280 --> 00:19:09,640 Speaker 1: you took a side trip to Egypt. 343 00:19:10,240 --> 00:19:14,800 Speaker 4: She thought that someone kidnapped me. I remember when she 344 00:19:14,920 --> 00:19:18,080 Speaker 4: was on the phone. At least it wasn't Lebanon, because 345 00:19:18,080 --> 00:19:21,240 Speaker 4: that's even more frightening, right right, If my mom thought. 346 00:19:21,040 --> 00:19:23,120 Speaker 2: I was in Lebanon, I think she would fly over 347 00:19:23,840 --> 00:19:27,919 Speaker 2: and it would be what's that what's that movie with 348 00:19:28,000 --> 00:19:33,040 Speaker 2: Liam Neeson? Uh taken. Yeah, she would would feel like 349 00:19:33,280 --> 00:19:35,639 Speaker 2: mother to the rescue. Uh. 350 00:19:35,800 --> 00:19:37,920 Speaker 4: And I heard my father in the back of the 351 00:19:38,400 --> 00:19:39,880 Speaker 4: phone call in the background. 352 00:19:39,960 --> 00:19:43,280 Speaker 2: Calm down, June, June, calm down, calm down. 353 00:19:43,720 --> 00:19:48,119 Speaker 4: My mom was flipping out. But it's scary. It's people 354 00:19:48,160 --> 00:19:52,680 Speaker 4: don't realize Israel right now, especially, is actually much safer 355 00:19:52,720 --> 00:19:55,400 Speaker 4: than the New York subways right well. 356 00:19:55,440 --> 00:19:58,320 Speaker 1: That that's something that's always so interesting in Israel is 357 00:19:58,320 --> 00:20:01,159 Speaker 1: that you do have this little sense of safety when 358 00:20:01,200 --> 00:20:02,080 Speaker 1: you're actually there. 359 00:20:02,160 --> 00:20:03,520 Speaker 4: But from Afar, it. 360 00:20:03,600 --> 00:20:06,520 Speaker 1: Seems like a country constantly under siege, which in a 361 00:20:06,520 --> 00:20:09,479 Speaker 1: lot of ways it is. But New York City is 362 00:20:09,640 --> 00:20:13,400 Speaker 1: actually Brooklyn specifically the number one place where Jews are 363 00:20:13,440 --> 00:20:15,359 Speaker 1: targeted for violent attacks. 364 00:20:15,560 --> 00:20:17,000 Speaker 2: I want to say in the world. 365 00:20:17,600 --> 00:20:20,120 Speaker 1: I know for sure in the country, but I believe 366 00:20:20,640 --> 00:20:22,840 Speaker 1: I saw a stat that had Brooklyn as number one 367 00:20:22,920 --> 00:20:25,680 Speaker 1: in the world of where. 368 00:20:25,680 --> 00:20:28,880 Speaker 3: Jews are attacked physically. So it's not crazy that. 369 00:20:28,800 --> 00:20:31,320 Speaker 1: Your mom would be worried about your wearing the Jewish 370 00:20:31,320 --> 00:20:34,400 Speaker 1: star on the subway. It's just depressing because New York, 371 00:20:34,440 --> 00:20:36,199 Speaker 1: I mean, I'm from New York. It was always a 372 00:20:36,240 --> 00:20:40,240 Speaker 1: place where Jews thrived, and obviously in the last few years, 373 00:20:40,240 --> 00:20:43,720 Speaker 1: and I started writing about this, you know, way before 374 00:20:43,720 --> 00:20:44,480 Speaker 1: October seventh. 375 00:20:44,600 --> 00:20:46,320 Speaker 2: I mean, it was so obvious that it was. 376 00:20:46,359 --> 00:20:49,119 Speaker 1: It was getting bad for years and years and years, 377 00:20:49,160 --> 00:20:52,919 Speaker 1: even before the pandemic. But I think now, you know, 378 00:20:53,000 --> 00:20:55,080 Speaker 1: it's not a crazy thing to say. The thing is, 379 00:20:55,200 --> 00:20:58,040 Speaker 1: I would wear my star and I don't care and 380 00:20:58,080 --> 00:20:58,480 Speaker 1: I'm not. 381 00:20:58,480 --> 00:20:59,040 Speaker 3: Tucking it in. 382 00:20:59,480 --> 00:21:02,600 Speaker 1: But if my daughter is taking the subway, I don't know. 383 00:21:02,680 --> 00:21:05,159 Speaker 1: I think I would say tucking your star, because it's different. 384 00:21:05,240 --> 00:21:07,240 Speaker 1: I don't care about myself nearly as much as I 385 00:21:07,320 --> 00:21:07,960 Speaker 1: care about her. 386 00:21:08,280 --> 00:21:09,720 Speaker 2: I'm sure it's the same for your mom. 387 00:21:09,920 --> 00:21:14,679 Speaker 4: It makes complete sense, and it's it's also a reason, 388 00:21:15,000 --> 00:21:19,320 Speaker 4: as you have, why my mother would like to move 389 00:21:19,560 --> 00:21:22,920 Speaker 4: to Florida and make the right of the right of passage. 390 00:21:22,520 --> 00:21:23,560 Speaker 3: The other promised land. 391 00:21:24,240 --> 00:21:28,679 Speaker 4: Yep, it's tough because I fallen in love with the Northeast, 392 00:21:28,840 --> 00:21:32,240 Speaker 4: always be a Jersey girl, and I work in the 393 00:21:32,320 --> 00:21:37,159 Speaker 4: DC area now, But Florida, Florida is the Promised Land 394 00:21:37,480 --> 00:21:41,560 Speaker 4: and it must be hopefully, I'm sure. 395 00:21:41,240 --> 00:21:43,639 Speaker 2: A lot safer being able to work a. 396 00:21:43,480 --> 00:21:47,520 Speaker 3: Different universe of safety. It's just it's not so much 397 00:21:47,560 --> 00:21:48,040 Speaker 3: like you said. 398 00:21:48,160 --> 00:21:50,800 Speaker 1: You know, at one point you said into Semitism, it 399 00:21:50,920 --> 00:21:53,359 Speaker 1: doesn't belong to one party, you know, I kind of 400 00:21:53,359 --> 00:21:55,960 Speaker 1: do I agree that. I think Democrats have mainstreamed it. 401 00:21:56,000 --> 00:21:58,399 Speaker 3: But obviously there are anti Semites everywhere. I'm not going 402 00:21:58,440 --> 00:21:59,919 Speaker 3: to say there are no jew haters. 403 00:21:59,680 --> 00:22:03,200 Speaker 1: In Blood that's crazy, but they don't stand for it here. 404 00:22:03,280 --> 00:22:06,240 Speaker 1: It's not the hatred that we all should be worried about. 405 00:22:06,280 --> 00:22:07,040 Speaker 3: It's the reaction. 406 00:22:07,560 --> 00:22:10,400 Speaker 1: It's when Jews started getting beat up on the streets 407 00:22:10,400 --> 00:22:13,760 Speaker 1: of Brooklyn, no one cared, Like the mayor would be like, hey, 408 00:22:14,000 --> 00:22:16,160 Speaker 1: has no home here, and that. 409 00:22:16,119 --> 00:22:16,640 Speaker 2: Would be it. 410 00:22:16,680 --> 00:22:19,560 Speaker 1: And even the Jewish communities like the it was happening 411 00:22:19,640 --> 00:22:22,480 Speaker 1: to orthodox Jews, but the secular Jewish communities that could 412 00:22:22,560 --> 00:22:24,560 Speaker 1: not possibly care less about it. They thought it just 413 00:22:24,560 --> 00:22:27,879 Speaker 1: didn't apply to them. So it's the reaction that we 414 00:22:27,960 --> 00:22:31,160 Speaker 1: need to be watching for. And in Florida, the reaction 415 00:22:31,280 --> 00:22:34,399 Speaker 1: is absolutely not. We're not standing for that here. The 416 00:22:34,480 --> 00:22:38,639 Speaker 1: Hamasnik protests in the street, absolutely not blocking highways. They 417 00:22:38,680 --> 00:22:40,960 Speaker 1: made it like seven minutes one day in Orlando and 418 00:22:41,040 --> 00:22:44,359 Speaker 1: everybody got arrested. It's just it's a different universe of 419 00:22:45,680 --> 00:22:48,000 Speaker 1: kind of consequences. 420 00:22:48,720 --> 00:22:52,480 Speaker 3: And it's thanks to your wonderful governor. He's pretty great. 421 00:22:52,920 --> 00:22:58,880 Speaker 5: Yeah, I love that, and it's it's pretty funny and 422 00:22:59,000 --> 00:23:03,160 Speaker 5: depressing to see, as we've known forever, the. 423 00:23:03,320 --> 00:23:08,080 Speaker 4: Oh so tolerant left claiming, oh, our blue cities are. 424 00:23:08,440 --> 00:23:11,720 Speaker 3: Such safe spaces, and then they issued. 425 00:23:11,440 --> 00:23:16,360 Speaker 4: A safety hazard for Florida because you know, changing your 426 00:23:16,440 --> 00:23:20,800 Speaker 4: gender at six years old and getting mutilated wasn't. We 427 00:23:20,800 --> 00:23:23,560 Speaker 4: weren't going to stand for that, So that made things 428 00:23:23,680 --> 00:23:28,280 Speaker 4: unsafe because not affirming your mental illness is that is 429 00:23:28,320 --> 00:23:29,520 Speaker 4: a dangerous hazard. 430 00:23:30,119 --> 00:23:32,639 Speaker 2: But it's okay to pummel Jews in the street, in 431 00:23:32,720 --> 00:23:34,880 Speaker 2: the safe space known as New York. 432 00:23:35,240 --> 00:23:37,119 Speaker 1: Yeah, and I went through the numbers. 433 00:23:36,760 --> 00:23:37,800 Speaker 3: It's it's far. 434 00:23:37,720 --> 00:23:40,080 Speaker 1: Worse and blue areas and they say like, oh, it's 435 00:23:40,080 --> 00:23:41,520 Speaker 1: because Jews live in blue areas. 436 00:23:41,560 --> 00:23:41,639 Speaker 4: No. 437 00:23:41,720 --> 00:23:45,719 Speaker 1: I compared like New Hampshire to Mississippi, for example, and 438 00:23:45,920 --> 00:23:50,960 Speaker 1: New Hampshire had far worse rates of anti Semitism, you know, incidents, 439 00:23:51,160 --> 00:23:54,000 Speaker 1: So it's not at all just where Jews live. 440 00:23:54,359 --> 00:23:56,360 Speaker 2: It's happening in plenty of blue. 441 00:23:56,119 --> 00:23:59,800 Speaker 1: Places more with Justine Brooke Murray coming up.

And then 510 00:27:53,680 --> 00:27:56,119 Speaker 4: I would also say to everybody what I would have 511 00:27:56,160 --> 00:27:59,399 Speaker 4: said to my sixteen year old self is life is 512 00:27:59,440 --> 00:28:02,639 Speaker 4: too short to be offended.
