Speaker 1: So move over, marilynd Man. There's now Brooklyn Man. Do
Speaker 1: you remember that guy who raped a corpse on a
Speaker 1: Manhattan subway. His name is Felix rojas Been. He was
Speaker 1: charged with rape and grand larceny. He's now under an
Speaker 1: ice detainer, but the media is calling him Brooklyn Man.
Speaker 1: So why is the media doing this? When did they
Speaker 1: get so insane? My friend and college Julie Banderaz with
Speaker 1: Fox News has a surprising take on that You're gonna
Speaker 1: want to hear it. We'll also talk about her latest
Speaker 1: children's book with Brave Books. It's called The Monumental Mistake.
Speaker 1: It sort of plays off of when we saw the
Speaker 1: statues being taken down and the left's desire to rewrite history.
Speaker 1: Some lessons in that for children. We'll get into that
Speaker 1: book with Julie and so much more. She's fun, she's entertaining,
Speaker 1: She's one of my favorite people at Fox News. Trust me,
Speaker 1: you're gonna want to hear this interview. Stay tuned for
Speaker 1: my friend and colleague Julie Banderas banders, I just want
Speaker 1: to start this episode by telling you that I love you.
Speaker 2: I love you. I'm so happy we're here together.
Speaker 1: You are one of my favorite people at Fox, and
Speaker 1: I know every time we were on together, it's going
Speaker 1: to just going to be so much fun. And I
Speaker 1: know that whoever is running the studio is going to
Speaker 1: get mad at us because we're going to giggle during
Speaker 1: the commercial breaks and uh, we're just going to have
Speaker 1: the best time.
Speaker 2: I know.
Speaker 3: Well, and also like get mad at us when we
Speaker 3: don't wrap when they tell us to rap, because we
Speaker 3: get too into our conversations exactly.
Speaker 1: Well, I love you because you're you're smart, obviously, but
Speaker 1: you don't like take yourself overly seriously. You know, you're
Speaker 1: able to have fun, crack some jokes, and it's just
Speaker 1: I know it's always going to be so much fun,
Speaker 1: So I love you.
Speaker 3: Well, it's hard to take anything seriously these days, including myself.
Speaker 2: But yeah, this.
Speaker 3: News cycle is the news cycle is always entertaining, so
Speaker 3: why not make it more fun by making fun of
Speaker 3: each other at the same time.
Speaker 2: Well, in part, like the.
Speaker 1: Media has sort of become a parody, right because they
Speaker 1: don't even try telling us the truth anymore. Like, I
Speaker 1: don't know if you saw there's this legal alien Felix Rojas.
Speaker 1: He's the guy that raped a corpse on the Manhattan Subway.
Speaker 1: He's charged with rape and ground larceny, and they were
Speaker 1: calling him a Brooklyn man the media, not the guy
Speaker 1: who raped the corpse, but just you know, just like
Speaker 1: they did with the Maryland man alleged MS thirteen member, right.
Speaker 3: And yes, he's not a Brooklyn man. He's an illegal immigrant.
Speaker 3: If you're a Brooklyn man, that means that you were
Speaker 3: from New York and he's not. So it's just another
Speaker 3: illegal immigrant who was probably busted into New York City
Speaker 3: thanks to our genius democratic leaders.
Speaker 2: And so he's not a Brooklyn man, and.
Speaker 3: He should seriously be deported immediately, but first charged with
Speaker 3: his crime. But of course in New York City they
Speaker 3: don't really punish people for crimes. They book them and
Speaker 3: then they release them and then they reoffend. So that's
Speaker 3: that's New York City for you. I can't imagine why
Speaker 3: you moved to Florida.
Speaker 2: By the way.
Speaker 1: Wait, you know, I mean we'd love to have you
Speaker 1: join us. You know, the water's warm. Literally, I love.
Speaker 2: Well, I love Florida, you know that. So yeah, that
Speaker 2: would be way too much fun. I don't know if
Speaker 2: I could handle us living.
Speaker 3: We would never make it into work, Are you freaking
Speaker 3: kidding me? Like that would be that would be the
Speaker 3: end of our careers. We'd have to just start like
Speaker 3: a podcast full time.
Speaker 1: Yeah, they'd be like, you guys need to move away
Speaker 1: from each other. But like, it just points out the
Speaker 1: absurdity of the media these days and the fact that
Speaker 1: like they just I don't know how they can keep
Speaker 1: a straight face with the lies that they Like at
Speaker 1: what point did this start happening Because you've been working
Speaker 1: in the media for a long time. You started with
Speaker 1: local news and then went over to Fox, Like is
Speaker 1: it just the Trump ears or like when did you
Speaker 1: start noticing where like the media just didn't even bother
Speaker 1: telling the truth anymore?
Speaker 2: It was It's.
Speaker 3: Always been bad. I mean obviously under Bill Quick believe
Speaker 3: it or not. I was in the television industry, so
Speaker 3: there was a major you know, cover up back then.
Speaker 3: And that was back in my very early TV years,
Speaker 3: like my first television job. I remember the whole Bill
Speaker 3: Clinton scandal and a lot of people trying to cover
Speaker 3: up for him. But it's just been like a downward
Speaker 3: spiral ever since then. I would say that the very
Speaker 3: worst though, has been in since twenty sixteen, since Trump
Speaker 3: took office, because it's just the hate in.
Speaker 2: This country has never been deeper.
Speaker 3: Like you never saw hate against Bill Clinton for having
Speaker 3: sex with a woman in his office and having an
Speaker 3: affair in the White House. Like there wasn't really that
Speaker 3: big of an outcry. It was kind of like, oh,
Speaker 3: that's just Bill being Bill. But it's amazing that since then,
Speaker 3: you know, it's.
Speaker 2: Just so much different.
Speaker 3: Like the political divide in this country is so much different.
Speaker 2: And it's not.
Speaker 3: About just criticizing the president, the current president and lacking
Speaker 3: respect of the highest office in the land, but.
Speaker 2: It's also hating anyone who supports that person in office.
Speaker 2: Like that's the part that really blows my mind.
Speaker 3: It's one thing if you don't support the president that's
Speaker 3: in the office, Okay, fine you didn't, you didn't elect them,
Speaker 3: but get over it.
Speaker 2: Somebody's got to win, somebody's got to lose.
Speaker 3: You lost, Fine, you don't agree with all their policies, fine,
Speaker 3: But to hate every single person that you know that
Speaker 3: voted for that person is ludicrous. And it's ever since
Speaker 3: Trump was voted into the White House. If you're maga
Speaker 3: and I hate that people have to associate anyone who's
Speaker 3: supported Trump as MAGA. Basically, you're a Republican and if
Speaker 3: you vote the Republican candidate, God forbid, and you make
Speaker 3: it known you're going to get you're gonna get hate
Speaker 3: depending on what part of the country you're in. That's
Speaker 3: what That's what the society has become. It's really gross.
Speaker 3: The political divide is worst than I've ever seen.
Speaker 1: But Julie, Bill Clinton told us I did not have
Speaker 1: sexual relations with that woman.
Speaker 2: Are you trying to tell me that he did?
Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm trying to tell you that politicians lie. And
Speaker 3: I know it's so surprising, and I'm surprised that the
Speaker 3: media even covered it back then and didn't try to
Speaker 3: cover it up and make some sort of excuse like
Speaker 3: I don't know, Monica Lewinsky tried to attack him and
Speaker 3: he was just on the defense.
Speaker 2: But I mean, that's what I mean.
Speaker 3: And you know, back then, I don't remember a bunch
Speaker 3: of Republicans saying, oh, I hate Bill Clinton.
Speaker 2: They were just like, ow gross.
Speaker 3: You know, and he should be he should be impeached.
Speaker 3: But it wasn't let's go out and hate every Democrat
Speaker 3: that put him in office, do you know what I mean? Like,
Speaker 3: there's just such a double standard, Like when a Democrat
Speaker 3: screws up, we don't hate all the Democrats, we just
Speaker 3: dislike whatever that Democrat.
Speaker 2: Did in particular.
Speaker 3: But when a Republican does something wrong, every Republican is
Speaker 3: a piece of garbage. And I mean, that's actually how
Speaker 3: people feel.
Speaker 2: In this country.
Speaker 3: I really can't believe that people are that ignorant and stupid.
Speaker 2: But why do they get that.
Speaker 3: They get it from the mainstream media because the mainstream
Speaker 3: media feeds the public such bs and they actually buy
Speaker 3: it because they're that ignorant.
Speaker 2: It's ridiculous.
Speaker 3: And then you watch all the mainstream TV shows like
Speaker 3: The View for example, you know, and they spew the
Speaker 3: same crap, and they have these celebrities on there who
Speaker 3: should never be talking politics spewing the same crap.
Speaker 2: So when you hear enough famous.
Speaker 3: People talk crap about a particular Republican party, a particular
Speaker 3: party in general, you're going to start to buy it
Speaker 3: because people don't know any better.
Speaker 2: So it's really the media's fault.
Speaker 3: I think a huge part of it is the media's
Speaker 3: fault for feeding lies to the American public, and the
Speaker 3: American public are buying it. Unless you're watching channels like
Speaker 3: Fox where we actually do cover both sides, or at
Speaker 3: least I do.
Speaker 2: We've got more with duey banderas first.
Speaker 1: Do you know, just like here in the US, Israel
Speaker 1: has their own Independence Day in case you missed it
Speaker 1: this year, Israel's Independence Day was a few days ago
Speaker 1: on May first. But for the people of Israel, freedom
Speaker 1: is nothing more than a daily struggle just to survive.
Speaker 1: There's no real peace, only terror, no joy, just suffering.
Speaker 1: Israeli government recognizes the International Fellowship of Christians and Jews
Speaker 1: for ongoing help to make sure the elderly, the sick,
Speaker 1: the wounded, soldiers, and impoverished families don't fall through the cracks.
Speaker 1: Your gift to the Fellowship today will provide life saving aid, medicine,
Speaker 1: hearty meals, safety and comfort for so many. I believe
Speaker 1: that when we bless the people of Israel, we unlock
Speaker 1: God's blessing in our lives as well. Show your support
Speaker 1: for Israel's independence by making a life saving gift today.
Speaker 1: Call to make your gift at eight eight eight four
Speaker 1: a eight IFCJ. That's eight eight eight four A eight
Speaker 1: four three two five, or go online at IFCJ dot org.
Speaker 1: That's IFCJ dot org. It's a totally double standard to
Speaker 1: your point, because I remember even when I worked on
Speaker 1: Capitol even back then, like if one person said some
Speaker 1: if one Republican said something like stupid or you know whatever,
Speaker 1: the media would go around to every single Republican in
Speaker 1: Congress and be like, do you agree with what so
Speaker 1: and so said? And then like someone on the left,
Speaker 1: like these Democrats can fire bomb at Tesla, and like
Speaker 1: the media is not going around being like do you
Speaker 1: do you support for the firebombing of Tesla or like
Speaker 1: the key right, it's like.
Speaker 3: It and there's no outrage, like there's neuro outrage. I mean,
Speaker 3: the Democrats are the one that we're pressing for electric cars.
Speaker 2: I mean it was it was under Obama.
Speaker 3: That they started even talking about Joe Biden wanted to
Speaker 3: press people and force people into electric cars. And then
Speaker 3: in fact they were threatening that they were going to
Speaker 3: get rid of gas guzzlers because everybody should be driving electrics.
Speaker 3: So it's Democrats who were setting each other's cars on fire.
Speaker 2: That's how stupid they are.
Speaker 3: I mean, it's just absolutely ridiculous. And you think you're
Speaker 3: hurting Elon Musk, You've got to be kidding me. No,
Speaker 3: you're hurting your fellow Democrat who voted Joe Biden into
Speaker 3: office and told you to buy an electric car, you moron.
Speaker 2: That's what they are.
Speaker 1: Well, And I remember after the election too, I think
Speaker 1: it was Axios had this article about like Trump supporters
Speaker 1: come out of the shadows, and I was thinking.
Speaker 2: To myself, like they should have never had it.
Speaker 1: Been in the shadows in the first place, Like this
Speaker 1: is America, and like they created this environment where somehow,
Speaker 1: just because you supported President Trump, like what you're supposed
Speaker 1: to have shame or something, you know, like the beauty
Speaker 1: of this election as we found out that there's more,
Speaker 1: you know, Trump supporters, there's more people that support common
Speaker 1: sense than not. But you know, they just created this
Speaker 1: environment where, you know, obviously they labeled President Trump of
Speaker 1: so many things and then extended that to his supporters
Speaker 1: as well.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, I think some celebrities actually did come
Speaker 3: out in favor of him. So I think that helped
Speaker 3: somewhat because I think even liberal Hollywood was starting to
Speaker 3: get sick and tired of the Biden policies, and they
Speaker 3: looked at the state of California, for example, and they
Speaker 3: were thinking, Oh my god, what in the world has
Speaker 3: our great state become.
Speaker 2: I mean, this was supposed to be this, you.
Speaker 3: Know, like star studded state with a bunch of you know,
Speaker 3: celebrity stars, and now it's.
Speaker 2: Become a homeless shelter.
Speaker 3: So I mean, I guess that's when they finally wake
Speaker 3: up and realize, oh, so the people that we voted
Speaker 3: into office are actually just ring our states so much
Speaker 3: so that so many people are moving out of the
Speaker 3: state of California. But it's a little too late. They
Speaker 3: voted these people into office and they're the ones that
Speaker 3: are actually destroying their cities. And it's all the democratic
Speaker 3: cities that are a mess, and it's going to take
Speaker 3: forever to go back.
Speaker 2: And clean them up. And the deportation plan.
Speaker 3: Under trus you know, President Trump obviously is a great start,
Speaker 3: but we're still seeing stories like you just said, the
Speaker 3: Maryland a legal immigrant, and the one in Brooklyn, and
Speaker 3: the list goes.
Speaker 2: On and on. So I mean, this is just so
Speaker 2: past due to clean up the mess.
Speaker 3: And I can't understand why Democrats can't actually acknowledge the
Speaker 3: fact that what Trump is doing is good for this
Speaker 3: country and not bad. They're actually defending you know, the
Speaker 3: guy that was sent off to El Salvador.
Speaker 2: You know, they're crying over this.
Speaker 3: Man, thinking that he should be let back into this country. Oh,
Speaker 3: let's bring him back so that he can beat his
Speaker 3: wife again. I mean, the guy is charged with domestic violence,
Speaker 3: and they're more concerned about the fact that he was deported.
Speaker 3: I mean, crimea river you could stay in also, I mean,
Speaker 3: we'll not be making it back into this country because
Speaker 3: this administration isn't going to cower to the pressure of
Speaker 3: liberals who are thinking that this was some sort of
Speaker 3: unjust act. You know what's unjust beating and kicking your wife,
Speaker 3: that's unjust.
Speaker 2: They should be more concerned about that.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and they don't understand that, like wanting secure borders,
Speaker 1: it's not like a racial thing.
Speaker 2: It's not, you know, it's just and.
Speaker 1: That's something that we collectively and mutually decided as a country.
Speaker 1: And even so much so where you had you know,
Speaker 1: President Trump getting some of the best numbers with Hispanics
Speaker 1: in a long time for a Republican because every American
Speaker 1: came together and they said, you know what, we want
Speaker 1: our scarce resources to go to American citizens. And we
Speaker 1: saw that in places like Springfield, Ohio, where you know,
Speaker 1: you had this influx of Haitian migrants and city resources
Speaker 1: were being drinked, or even here in a city like
Speaker 1: New York with a lot of resources, where we had
Speaker 1: Eric Adams being like, oh yeah, like maybe this isn't
Speaker 1: the best idea because we're going to go bankrupt as
Speaker 1: a city. But and you know, still somehow doubling down
Speaker 1: on being a sanctuary city.
Speaker 2: So it's like, you know, it's just madness.
Speaker 3: I mean, it's the woke culture that has totally dominated politics,
Speaker 3: and it's made politicians who want to get reelected afraid
Speaker 3: to stand up.
Speaker 2: For what's right.
Speaker 3: And you know, again, denouncing illegals coming into this country
Speaker 3: doesn't mean or make.
Speaker 2: You a racist. It makes you want to secure our.
Speaker 3: Borders, you know, to protect our society. The same as
Speaker 3: when you say that you know, a trans female shouldn't
Speaker 3: be competing against other women when they are a biological man.
Speaker 3: That's not hating trans, that's not anti LGBTQ, that's not homophobic.
Speaker 2: That's just fair.
Speaker 3: But you know, God forbid that you're fair and you
Speaker 3: want the best for your country and the best for
Speaker 3: your society, because then that makes you a hateful person.
Speaker 2: But you know, the ones that are really hating out
Speaker 2: there are actually the Democrats.
Speaker 3: And that's why they're such hypocrites, because they reach that
Speaker 3: the Republicans are hateful and that they hate certain demographics,
Speaker 3: they hate minorities.
Speaker 2: No, that's not it. They're protecting America, and America.
Speaker 3: Is built of not just white people, it's built of minorities.
Speaker 3: This is a country, it's it's a melting pot. So
Speaker 3: it's just talking on the two sides of the mouth,
Speaker 3: and I can't even take it anymore. The hypocrisy is
Speaker 3: just it's beyond beyond.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 1: I mean, we saw a lot of minority communities and
Speaker 1: inner cities very upset that their resources were being diverted
Speaker 1: to people who you know, shouldn't didn't do the right way,
Speaker 1: shouldn't be here.
Speaker 2: But talking about all the nonsense, So you have.
Speaker 1: A new children's book out sort of you know, playing
Speaker 1: off a little bit and telling a story a monumental mistake.
Speaker 1: And when we saw a period of time where you know,
Speaker 1: monuments were being taken down where the left they were
Speaker 1: trying to erase the past. I mean, I remember I
Speaker 1: was at a dinner one time and someone tried to
Speaker 1: like start a fight with me, and I was like,
Speaker 1: well they tried destroying I was like, the Left tried
Speaker 1: to destroy a one hundred and twenty year old oak
Speaker 1: statue and downtown Portland, Like, please tell me how that
Speaker 1: result like that that solves anything, you know, So tell
Speaker 1: me a little bit about your book monumental mistake and
Speaker 1: you know how you got the idea for it.
Speaker 3: Well, I mean ever since I had kids, and I
Speaker 3: now have three, they're all mine.
Speaker 2: Yeah, so the respect factor is lacking severely.
Speaker 3: And I've always recognized the fact that children are not
Speaker 3: taught respect the way that we were taught respect when
Speaker 3: we were kids.
Speaker 2: And it really really bothers me.
Speaker 3: But I've always hammered it into my kids' heads that,
Speaker 3: you know, we have to respect each other, we have
Speaker 3: to respect our peers, we have to respect authority, teachers,
Speaker 3: police officers. On New Year's Eve, when I lived in
Speaker 3: New York City, I used to take my kids down
Speaker 3: to the streets every single night before midnight or right
Speaker 3: after the clock struck midnight, and we would walk up
Speaker 3: to every officer that we could find, and there were
Speaker 3: tons because I lived right on Central Park. By times
Speaker 3: square and everyone would go you know, my kids would
Speaker 3: go up to them and say, thank you for your service.
Speaker 3: You know, show respect to the people that are protecting you.
Speaker 3: Share respect for your country, share respect for the people
Speaker 3: that came before you, that actually earned you the right
Speaker 3: to have the freedoms that we have and we enjoy
Speaker 3: every day in this country. And that's the problem in
Speaker 3: this country is that, first of all.
Speaker 2: Nobody respects each other. You know, nobody respects each other
Speaker 2: if they disagree with one another.
Speaker 3: And that is a real hard lesson that our children
Speaker 3: are learning because they're watching they're watching their parents spew
Speaker 3: hatred about maybe if they're a Democrat and they don't
Speaker 3: like Republicans, and they're telling them, oh, don't be friends
Speaker 3: with anyone whose parents voted for Trump because Trump is bad.
Speaker 3: So we're instilling all these really negative, awful values in
Speaker 3: our children. And these are children that are eventually going
Speaker 3: to grow up and be the ones protesting at colleges
Speaker 3: like these protests that we've been seeing since October seventh.
Speaker 3: So this is a time where parents need to buckle
Speaker 3: down and actually teach their children the values and the
Speaker 3: morals that really started this country.
Speaker 2: Because I don't know where they went, but.
Speaker 3: It shouldn't be old fashioned to be polite to say
Speaker 3: thank you and yes sir and no man. That shouldn't
Speaker 3: be an old fashioned, you know ideology, the woke ideology
Speaker 3: is what is stripping Americans and their children of respect.
Speaker 3: And I think it's time to just get back to
Speaker 3: that that base, which is unfortunate that it seems to
Speaker 3: lack in every single school right now.
Speaker 1: And so the story it tells the story of Fiona
Speaker 1: is the lioness, Moby is the bear, Arthur is the lion,
Speaker 1: and then Cassius the tiger.
Speaker 3: Very good, yes, And so basically they get into conflict
Speaker 3: because a couple of the characters disrespect a monument, like
Speaker 3: you said, And that's another example of what happens in
Speaker 3: this country where maybe a monument stands for something that
Speaker 3: happened in the past, but you know, people that live
Speaker 3: in present day don't care about the history that brought
Speaker 3: them to where we are today. So then they started,
Speaker 3: you know, disrespecting it, defacing.
Speaker 2: It, throwing rocks at it, and so forth.
Speaker 3: And a couple of their friends were trying to tell
Speaker 3: them and correct their behavior by telling them that's wrong.
Speaker 3: You shouldn't be doing that, et cetera. And they got
Speaker 3: mad at them, and they continue doing it. In the end,
Speaker 3: I won't give it away, but a monster comes out
Speaker 3: and they are certainly they learn their lesson that what
Speaker 3: they did came back to bite them, and they eventually
Speaker 3: not only ask for forgiveness, which I think is also
Speaker 3: very important if you do disrespect somebody, to make sure
Speaker 3: you ask for forgiveness, but they learn their lesson to
Speaker 3: respect history, to respect that statue that stood for something
Speaker 3: very important in their town and their life, and also
Speaker 3: to respect their friends who were telling them, you know,
Speaker 3: not to do what they were doing, because they knew
Speaker 3: what they were doing was wrong, and they were very
Speaker 3: rude to them as well. So, I mean, it's a
Speaker 3: cute story, but I think the best way to really
Speaker 3: teach children's stories and lessons is through stories. So I
Speaker 3: think once you show people show kids a story, they
Speaker 3: kind of use that and they apply it to the
Speaker 3: real life. So hopefully the story will help. At the end,
Speaker 3: there's also a bunch of fun activities and games and
Speaker 3: so forth where families can actually interact with one another.
Speaker 3: Get your kids off the iPad and actually talk to
Speaker 3: them and teach them lessons that you can find in
Speaker 3: my book.
Speaker 2: Also, you can get it on bravebooks dot com.
Speaker 1: By the way, how hard is it being a parent today?
Speaker 2: You know what's hard being a parent is.
Speaker 3: Actually being a parent with children who are among peers
Speaker 3: that don't know how to behave. Because if my children
Speaker 3: were to just stay at home and I just homeschooled them,
Speaker 3: I would have no problem because they wouldn't be influenced
Speaker 3: by negative, you know, negative behavior, and so they wouldn't
Speaker 3: know better. But obviously I'm not going to do that.
Speaker 3: I have a job, and I also believe in socializing,
Speaker 3: and I believe it's important for kids to go to school.
Speaker 3: And I also learned during the pandemic that I could
Speaker 3: never homeschool full time or I would absolutely go nuts
Speaker 3: and become a raging alcoholic. But aside from that, I
Speaker 3: think that it's hard because you don't know what other
Speaker 3: parents are teaching your kids. And your kids go to
Speaker 3: school and they come home and God only knows what
Speaker 3: they've learned from some other kid whose parent has made
Speaker 3: filled their heads with something that I don't necessarily want
Speaker 3: my kids learning.
Speaker 2: I will say it's.
Speaker 3: Easier because my kids go to private Catholic school, so
Speaker 3: I don't have to worry so much so about them
Speaker 3: learning inappropriate stuff in school, Like they don't have books
Speaker 3: about sex. I mean, sex is not something that's discussed
Speaker 3: in my kids' school, But in a lot of public schools,
Speaker 3: I would be. I wouldn't be mortified because they're teaching
Speaker 3: this sort of stuff in kindergarten. I would die if
Speaker 3: my kids came home and knew about that, just based
Speaker 3: on a conversation.
Speaker 2: With another child. So there's a little more innocence in
Speaker 2: my school.
Speaker 3: But that's what's mostly concerning nowadays, is that kids are
Speaker 3: way too grown up, way too fast. I like preserving innocence.
Speaker 3: The other thing is my kids don't curse. That's like
Speaker 3: a thing, which I know is hard to believe, considering
Speaker 3: I talk like a sailor. But I remember when I
Speaker 3: was in seventh grade, I was so innocent. I didn't
Speaker 3: even know what the curse word is that starts with
Speaker 3: the letter S and NZ and T. I was on
Speaker 3: a bus and a kid said to me, but you
Speaker 3: don't know what this word is. I swear I had
Speaker 3: no idea, And I was like, oh, what, yeah, I.
Speaker 2: Know that word.
Speaker 3: I'm not going to tell you, but I love the
Speaker 3: fact that I did put that into my kids. Like
Speaker 3: I don't let my kids curse. I don't even let
Speaker 3: them say the word hate. They actually say I h
Speaker 3: word that if they really dislike something. They'll even my
Speaker 3: fifteen year old till this day will be like, Mommy,
Speaker 3: I really h word that.
Speaker 2: That's how innocent my kids are. So I don't know.
Speaker 3: I just wish more parents would try to instill that
Speaker 3: in a sense, because it will translate into more responsible, respectable.
Speaker 2: Adults, ladies and gentlemen.
Speaker 1: I've got a great story to tell you. It's heartwarming,
Speaker 1: it's refreshing, but most importantly, it's true. So picture this.
Speaker 1: A leady named Phyllis walks into the neighborhood pharmacy in Colonia,
Speaker 1: New Jersey, and she asks the pharmacist for an antioxidant
Speaker 1: cream for her wrinkles. Now, the pharmacist says, look, I
Speaker 1: don't have what you're looking for right now, but I'll
Speaker 1: compound one for you come back tomorrow. So Phyllis gets
Speaker 1: the cream, she uses it for three days. She goes
Speaker 1: to her dermatologists appointment, and the dermatologist, just by looking
Speaker 1: at her thinks that she's gotten work done. Now Phil's
Speaker 1: goes and tells everyone about the pharmacy and the pharmacist
Speaker 1: who makes this magical cream. And that's believe it or not,
Speaker 1: how Genucell Skincare was born. And that was twenty five
Speaker 1: years ago. Genucell has shipped millions of orders, yet they
Speaker 1: still have that same philosophy of antioxidants, same natural base,
Speaker 1: and same chef in the kitchen mentality. Celebrating twenty five years,

Speaker 1: com slash Lisa. Well it's hard because you know, we
Speaker 1: covered this story on the Big Weekend Show or the
Speaker 1: Big Show on Sunday, and like there was this Massachusetts
Speaker 1: school district where the school gave out this really graphic
Speaker 1: survey about sex questions to children as young as eleven,
Speaker 1: and like some of the questions like have you ever
Speaker 1: had sexual intercourse and things like that, and it's like,
Speaker 1: in what world why would anyone subject an eleven year
Speaker 1: ole to that?
Speaker 2: Like it's insanity.
Speaker 3: I've never even had that conversation with my fifteen year olds,
Speaker 3: and I know it's time to have it.
Speaker 2: But I mean, I'm not kidding, Like I.
Speaker 3: Really haven't actually had these conversations with them. I mean,
Speaker 3: I didn't know what any of that was. But I
Speaker 3: guess nowadays it's really hard.
Speaker 2: It's like kids have to.
Speaker 3: Grow up way too soon and they have to learn
Speaker 3: all of this off the internet, and that's the problem.
Speaker 3: I mean, we didn't have that growing up, Like we
Speaker 3: didn't have Google Search.
Speaker 2: But I don't know.
Speaker 3: I just feel that if you teach your children what's
Speaker 3: right and what's wrong, and teach them the base of
Speaker 3: just having good character, good morals, I think that once
Speaker 3: they do learn this stuff, they'll know better to you know,
Speaker 3: act a certain way and hopefully not be influenced by
Speaker 3: negative peers, because you can't always protect your kids from
Speaker 3: being influenced by others. But hopefully once they grow up
Speaker 3: and you build a foundation that they'll know better and
Speaker 3: they'll grow into respectable adults. But teaching them respect from
Speaker 3: a young age is like just the number one most
Speaker 3: important thing you can give your children.
Speaker 1: Well, and that's why books like yours are good and
Speaker 1: brave books because it gives parents an opportunity to read
Speaker 1: them these stories and then you know, have some of
Speaker 1: these life conversations with them.
Speaker 3: So yeah, completely, yeah, And I think that's the whole
Speaker 3: point is that kids need to parents need to talk
Speaker 3: to their kids, like have a conversation, like ask them
Speaker 3: about their day, and then when they tell you about
Speaker 3: their day.
Speaker 2: Ask them, did anything happen today that you didn't like?
Speaker 2: You know, like, instead of how was your day at school?
Speaker 2: Of fine? Good?
Speaker 3: Now, so did anything happen today that made you uncomfortable?
Speaker 3: Did anything happen today that you thought wasn't fair or
Speaker 3: something like that? And then that's how you generate conversations
Speaker 3: that are not necessarily because kids are very short term memories,
Speaker 3: so you know, you kind of generate a conversation and
Speaker 3: then when they tell you about that, they oh, well,
Speaker 3: this kid, you know pushed me in in recess.
Speaker 2: Oh okay, and how did you respond to that. I didn't.
Speaker 2: I just walked away.
Speaker 3: Well maybe you should have gone up to them and said,
Speaker 3: I would like for you to apologize to me, please,
Speaker 3: because if I.
Speaker 2: Pushed you, I would say I'm sorry.
Speaker 3: And if not, you know, go and tell your teacher
Speaker 3: and then have the teacher talk to that child who
Speaker 3: apologized to you, so that they learned that that's not okay.
Speaker 2: You know. But a lot of kids are afraid to
Speaker 2: speak up, and then they come home.
Speaker 3: They don't even tell their parents because nobody talks to
Speaker 3: their kids anymore.
Speaker 2: They just get on their devices.
