Speaker 1 (00:01):
So move over, marilynd Man. There's now Brooklyn Man. Do
you remember that guy who raped a corpse on a
Manhattan subway. His name is Felix rojas Been. He was
charged with rape and grand larceny. He's now under an
ice detainer, but the media is calling him Brooklyn Man.
So why is the media doing this? When did they
get so insane? My friend and college Julie Banderaz with
(00:23):
Fox News has a surprising take on that You're gonna
want to hear it. We'll also talk about her latest
children's book with Brave Books. It's called The Monumental Mistake.
It sort of plays off of when we saw the
statues being taken down and the left's desire to rewrite history.
Some lessons in that for children. We'll get into that
book with Julie and so much more. She's fun, she's entertaining,
(00:46):
She's one of my favorite people at Fox News. Trust me,
you're gonna want to hear this interview. Stay tuned for
my friend and colleague Julie Banderas banders, I just want
to start this episode by telling you that I love you.
Speaker 2 (01:04):
I love you. I'm so happy we're here together.
Speaker 1 (01:07):
You are one of my favorite people at Fox, and
I know every time we were on together, it's going
to just going to be so much fun. And I
know that whoever is running the studio is going to
get mad at us because we're going to giggle during
the commercial breaks and uh, we're just going to have
the best time.
Speaker 2 (01:28):
I know.
Speaker 3 (01:28):
Well, and also like get mad at us when we
don't wrap when they tell us to rap, because we
get too into our conversations exactly.
Speaker 1 (01:36):
Well, I love you because you're you're smart, obviously, but
you don't like take yourself overly seriously. You know, you're
able to have fun, crack some jokes, and it's just
I know it's always going to be so much fun,
So I love you.
Speaker 3 (01:49):
Well, it's hard to take anything seriously these days, including myself.
Speaker 2 (01:52):
But yeah, this.
Speaker 3 (01:53):
News cycle is the news cycle is always entertaining, so
why not make it more fun by making fun of
each other at the same time.
Speaker 2 (02:00):
Well, in part, like the.
Speaker 1 (02:01):
Media has sort of become a parody, right because they
don't even try telling us the truth anymore. Like, I
don't know if you saw there's this legal alien Felix Rojas.
He's the guy that raped a corpse on the Manhattan Subway.
He's charged with rape and ground larceny, and they were
calling him a Brooklyn man the media, not the guy
(02:24):
who raped the corpse, but just you know, just like
they did with the Maryland man alleged MS thirteen member, right.
Speaker 3 (02:31):
And yes, he's not a Brooklyn man. He's an illegal immigrant.
If you're a Brooklyn man, that means that you were
from New York and he's not. So it's just another
illegal immigrant who was probably busted into New York City
thanks to our genius democratic leaders.
Speaker 2 (02:45):
And so he's not a Brooklyn man, and.
Speaker 3 (02:47):
He should seriously be deported immediately, but first charged with
his crime. But of course in New York City they
don't really punish people for crimes. They book them and
then they release them and then they reoffend. So that's
that's New York City for you. I can't imagine why
you moved to Florida.
Speaker 2 (03:03):
By the way.
Speaker 1 (03:05):
Wait, you know, I mean we'd love to have you
join us. You know, the water's warm. Literally, I love.
Speaker 2 (03:11):
Well, I love Florida, you know that. So yeah, that
would be way too much fun. I don't know if
I could handle us living.
Speaker 3 (03:17):
We would never make it into work, Are you freaking
kidding me? Like that would be that would be the
end of our careers. We'd have to just start like
a podcast full time.
Speaker 1 (03:24):
Yeah, they'd be like, you guys need to move away
from each other. But like, it just points out the
absurdity of the media these days and the fact that
like they just I don't know how they can keep
a straight face with the lies that they Like at
what point did this start happening Because you've been working
in the media for a long time. You started with
local news and then went over to Fox, Like is
(03:47):
it just the Trump ears or like when did you
start noticing where like the media just didn't even bother
telling the truth anymore?
Speaker 2 (03:56):
It was It's.
Speaker 3 (03:57):
Always been bad. I mean obviously under Bill Quick believe
it or not. I was in the television industry, so
there was a major you know, cover up back then.
And that was back in my very early TV years,
like my first television job. I remember the whole Bill
Clinton scandal and a lot of people trying to cover
up for him. But it's just been like a downward
spiral ever since then. I would say that the very
(04:20):
worst though, has been in since twenty sixteen, since Trump
took office, because it's just the hate in.
Speaker 2 (04:27):
This country has never been deeper.
Speaker 3 (04:29):
Like you never saw hate against Bill Clinton for having
sex with a woman in his office and having an
affair in the White House. Like there wasn't really that
big of an outcry. It was kind of like, oh,
that's just Bill being Bill. But it's amazing that since then,
you know, it's.
Speaker 2 (04:46):
Just so much different.
Speaker 3 (04:47):
Like the political divide in this country is so much different.
Speaker 2 (04:51):
And it's not.
Speaker 3 (04:51):
About just criticizing the president, the current president and lacking
respect of the highest office in the land, but.
Speaker 2 (04:58):
It's also hating anyone who supports that person in office.
Like that's the part that really blows my mind.
Speaker 3 (05:04):
It's one thing if you don't support the president that's
in the office, Okay, fine you didn't, you didn't elect them,
but get over it.
Speaker 2 (05:10):
Somebody's got to win, somebody's got to lose.
Speaker 3 (05:12):
You lost, Fine, you don't agree with all their policies, fine,
But to hate every single person that you know that
voted for that person is ludicrous. And it's ever since
Trump was voted into the White House. If you're maga
and I hate that people have to associate anyone who's
supported Trump as MAGA. Basically, you're a Republican and if
you vote the Republican candidate, God forbid, and you make
(05:34):
it known you're going to get you're gonna get hate
depending on what part of the country you're in. That's
what That's what the society has become. It's really gross.
The political divide is worst than I've ever seen.
Speaker 1 (05:46):
But Julie, Bill Clinton told us I did not have
sexual relations with that woman.
Speaker 2 (05:50):
Are you trying to tell me that he did?
Speaker 3 (05:53):
Yeah, I'm trying to tell you that politicians lie. And
I know it's so surprising, and I'm surprised that the
media even covered it back then and didn't try to
cover it up and make some sort of excuse like
I don't know, Monica Lewinsky tried to attack him and
he was just on the defense.
Speaker 2 (06:11):
But I mean, that's what I mean.
Speaker 3 (06:13):
And you know, back then, I don't remember a bunch
of Republicans saying, oh, I hate Bill Clinton.
Speaker 2 (06:18):
They were just like, ow gross.
Speaker 3 (06:19):
You know, and he should be he should be impeached.
But it wasn't let's go out and hate every Democrat
that put him in office, do you know what I mean? Like,
there's just such a double standard, Like when a Democrat
screws up, we don't hate all the Democrats, we just
dislike whatever that Democrat.
Speaker 2 (06:36):
Did in particular.
Speaker 3 (06:37):
But when a Republican does something wrong, every Republican is
a piece of garbage. And I mean, that's actually how
people feel.
Speaker 2 (06:45):
In this country.
Speaker 3 (06:46):
I really can't believe that people are that ignorant and stupid.
Speaker 2 (06:49):
But why do they get that.
Speaker 3 (06:50):
They get it from the mainstream media because the mainstream
media feeds the public such bs and they actually buy
it because they're that ignorant.
Speaker 2 (06:58):
It's ridiculous.
Speaker 3 (06:59):
And then you watch all the mainstream TV shows like
The View for example, you know, and they spew the
same crap, and they have these celebrities on there who
should never be talking politics spewing the same crap.
Speaker 2 (07:10):
So when you hear enough famous.
Speaker 3 (07:11):
People talk crap about a particular Republican party, a particular
party in general, you're going to start to buy it
because people don't know any better.
Speaker 2 (07:20):
So it's really the media's fault.
Speaker 3 (07:22):
I think a huge part of it is the media's
fault for feeding lies to the American public, and the
American public are buying it. Unless you're watching channels like
Fox where we actually do cover both sides, or at
least I do.
Speaker 2 (07:33):
We've got more with duey banderas first.
Speaker 1 (07:36):
Do you know, just like here in the US, Israel
has their own Independence Day in case you missed it
this year, Israel's Independence Day was a few days ago
on May first. But for the people of Israel, freedom
is nothing more than a daily struggle just to survive.
There's no real peace, only terror, no joy, just suffering.
Israeli government recognizes the International Fellowship of Christians and Jews
(07:58):
for ongoing help to make sure the elderly, the sick,
the wounded, soldiers, and impoverished families don't fall through the cracks.
Your gift to the Fellowship today will provide life saving aid, medicine,
hearty meals, safety and comfort for so many. I believe
that when we bless the people of Israel, we unlock
God's blessing in our lives as well. Show your support
for Israel's independence by making a life saving gift today.
(08:20):
Call to make your gift at eight eight eight four
a eight IFCJ. That's eight eight eight four A eight
four three two five, or go online at IFCJ dot org.
That's IFCJ dot org. It's a totally double standard to
your point, because I remember even when I worked on
Capitol even back then, like if one person said some
(08:42):
if one Republican said something like stupid or you know whatever,
the media would go around to every single Republican in
Congress and be like, do you agree with what so
and so said? And then like someone on the left,
like these Democrats can fire bomb at Tesla, and like
the media is not going around being like do you
do you support for the firebombing of Tesla or like
the key right, it's like.
Speaker 3 (09:03):
It and there's no outrage, like there's neuro outrage. I mean,
the Democrats are the one that we're pressing for electric cars.
Speaker 2 (09:12):
I mean it was it was under Obama.
Speaker 3 (09:15):
That they started even talking about Joe Biden wanted to
press people and force people into electric cars. And then
in fact they were threatening that they were going to
get rid of gas guzzlers because everybody should be driving electrics.
So it's Democrats who were setting each other's cars on fire.
Speaker 2 (09:32):
That's how stupid they are.
Speaker 3 (09:33):
I mean, it's just absolutely ridiculous. And you think you're
hurting Elon Musk, You've got to be kidding me. No,
you're hurting your fellow Democrat who voted Joe Biden into
office and told you to buy an electric car, you moron.
Speaker 2 (09:46):
That's what they are.
Speaker 1 (09:47):
Well, And I remember after the election too, I think
it was Axios had this article about like Trump supporters
come out of the shadows, and I was thinking.
Speaker 2 (09:55):
To myself, like they should have never had it.
Speaker 1 (09:56):
Been in the shadows in the first place, Like this
is America, and like they created this environment where somehow,
just because you supported President Trump, like what you're supposed
to have shame or something, you know, like the beauty
of this election as we found out that there's more,
you know, Trump supporters, there's more people that support common
sense than not. But you know, they just created this
(10:16):
environment where, you know, obviously they labeled President Trump of
so many things and then extended that to his supporters
as well.
Speaker 3 (10:24):
Yeah, I mean, I think some celebrities actually did come
out in favor of him. So I think that helped
somewhat because I think even liberal Hollywood was starting to
get sick and tired of the Biden policies, and they
looked at the state of California, for example, and they
were thinking, Oh my god, what in the world has
our great state become.
Speaker 2 (10:44):
I mean, this was supposed to be this, you.
Speaker 3 (10:45):
Know, like star studded state with a bunch of you know,
celebrity stars, and now it's.
Speaker 2 (10:52):
Become a homeless shelter.
Speaker 3 (10:53):
So I mean, I guess that's when they finally wake
up and realize, oh, so the people that we voted
into office are actually just ring our states so much
so that so many people are moving out of the
state of California. But it's a little too late. They
voted these people into office and they're the ones that
are actually destroying their cities. And it's all the democratic
cities that are a mess, and it's going to take
forever to go back.
Speaker 2 (11:14):
And clean them up. And the deportation plan.
Speaker 3 (11:16):
Under trus you know, President Trump obviously is a great start,
but we're still seeing stories like you just said, the
Maryland a legal immigrant, and the one in Brooklyn, and
the list goes.
Speaker 2 (11:27):
On and on. So I mean, this is just so
past due to clean up the mess.
Speaker 3 (11:31):
And I can't understand why Democrats can't actually acknowledge the
fact that what Trump is doing is good for this
country and not bad. They're actually defending you know, the
guy that was sent off to El Salvador.
Speaker 2 (11:43):
You know, they're crying over this.
Speaker 3 (11:44):
Man, thinking that he should be let back into this country. Oh,
let's bring him back so that he can beat his
wife again. I mean, the guy is charged with domestic violence,
and they're more concerned about the fact that he was deported.
I mean, crimea river you could stay in also, I mean,
we'll not be making it back into this country because
this administration isn't going to cower to the pressure of
(12:06):
liberals who are thinking that this was some sort of
unjust act. You know what's unjust beating and kicking your wife,
that's unjust.
Speaker 2 (12:12):
They should be more concerned about that.
Speaker 1 (12:14):
Yeah, and they don't understand that, like wanting secure borders,
it's not like a racial thing.
Speaker 2 (12:21):
It's not, you know, it's just and.
Speaker 1 (12:23):
That's something that we collectively and mutually decided as a country.
And even so much so where you had you know,
President Trump getting some of the best numbers with Hispanics
in a long time for a Republican because every American
came together and they said, you know what, we want
our scarce resources to go to American citizens. And we
saw that in places like Springfield, Ohio, where you know,
(12:44):
you had this influx of Haitian migrants and city resources
were being drinked, or even here in a city like
New York with a lot of resources, where we had
Eric Adams being like, oh yeah, like maybe this isn't
the best idea because we're going to go bankrupt as
a city. But and you know, still somehow doubling down
on being a sanctuary city.
Speaker 2 (13:03):
So it's like, you know, it's just madness.
Speaker 3 (13:05):
I mean, it's the woke culture that has totally dominated politics,
and it's made politicians who want to get reelected afraid
to stand up.
Speaker 2 (13:14):
For what's right.
Speaker 3 (13:15):
And you know, again, denouncing illegals coming into this country
doesn't mean or make.
Speaker 2 (13:21):
You a racist. It makes you want to secure our.
Speaker 3 (13:24):
Borders, you know, to protect our society. The same as
when you say that you know, a trans female shouldn't
be competing against other women when they are a biological man.
That's not hating trans, that's not anti LGBTQ, that's not homophobic.
Speaker 2 (13:43):
That's just fair.
Speaker 3 (13:44):
But you know, God forbid that you're fair and you
want the best for your country and the best for
your society, because then that makes you a hateful person.
Speaker 2 (13:53):
But you know, the ones that are really hating out
there are actually the Democrats.
Speaker 3 (13:57):
And that's why they're such hypocrites, because they reach that
the Republicans are hateful and that they hate certain demographics,
they hate minorities.
Speaker 2 (14:06):
No, that's not it. They're protecting America, and America.
Speaker 3 (14:09):
Is built of not just white people, it's built of minorities.
This is a country, it's it's a melting pot. So
it's just talking on the two sides of the mouth,
and I can't even take it anymore. The hypocrisy is
just it's beyond beyond.
Speaker 2 (14:25):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (14:25):
I mean, we saw a lot of minority communities and
inner cities very upset that their resources were being diverted
to people who you know, shouldn't didn't do the right way,
shouldn't be here.
Speaker 2 (14:35):
But talking about all the nonsense, So you have.
Speaker 1 (14:37):
A new children's book out sort of you know, playing
off a little bit and telling a story a monumental mistake.
And when we saw a period of time where you know,
monuments were being taken down where the left they were
trying to erase the past. I mean, I remember I
was at a dinner one time and someone tried to
like start a fight with me, and I was like,
well they tried destroying I was like, the Left tried
to destroy a one hundred and twenty year old oak
(14:59):
statue and downtown Portland, Like, please tell me how that
result like that that solves anything, you know, So tell
me a little bit about your book monumental mistake and
you know how you got the idea for it.
Speaker 3 (15:11):
Well, I mean ever since I had kids, and I
now have three, they're all mine.
Speaker 2 (15:17):
Yeah, so the respect factor is lacking severely.
Speaker 3 (15:21):
And I've always recognized the fact that children are not
taught respect the way that we were taught respect when
we were kids.
Speaker 2 (15:28):
And it really really bothers me.
Speaker 3 (15:29):
But I've always hammered it into my kids' heads that,
you know, we have to respect each other, we have
to respect our peers, we have to respect authority, teachers,
police officers. On New Year's Eve, when I lived in
New York City, I used to take my kids down
to the streets every single night before midnight or right
after the clock struck midnight, and we would walk up
to every officer that we could find, and there were
tons because I lived right on Central Park. By times
(15:52):
square and everyone would go you know, my kids would
go up to them and say, thank you for your service.
You know, show respect to the people that are protecting you.
Share respect for your country, share respect for the people
that came before you, that actually earned you the right
to have the freedoms that we have and we enjoy
every day in this country. And that's the problem in
this country is that, first of all.
Speaker 2 (16:12):
Nobody respects each other. You know, nobody respects each other
if they disagree with one another.
Speaker 3 (16:17):
And that is a real hard lesson that our children
are learning because they're watching they're watching their parents spew
hatred about maybe if they're a Democrat and they don't
like Republicans, and they're telling them, oh, don't be friends
with anyone whose parents voted for Trump because Trump is bad.
So we're instilling all these really negative, awful values in
(16:37):
our children. And these are children that are eventually going
to grow up and be the ones protesting at colleges
like these protests that we've been seeing since October seventh.
So this is a time where parents need to buckle
down and actually teach their children the values and the
morals that really started this country.
Speaker 2 (16:54):
Because I don't know where they went, but.
Speaker 3 (16:56):
It shouldn't be old fashioned to be polite to say
thank you and yes sir and no man. That shouldn't
be an old fashioned, you know ideology, the woke ideology
is what is stripping Americans and their children of respect.
And I think it's time to just get back to
that that base, which is unfortunate that it seems to
(17:17):
lack in every single school right now.
Speaker 1 (17:20):
And so the story it tells the story of Fiona
is the lioness, Moby is the bear, Arthur is the lion,
and then Cassius the tiger.
Speaker 3 (17:28):
Very good, yes, And so basically they get into conflict
because a couple of the characters disrespect a monument, like
you said, And that's another example of what happens in
this country where maybe a monument stands for something that
happened in the past, but you know, people that live
in present day don't care about the history that brought
them to where we are today. So then they started,
(17:49):
you know, disrespecting it, defacing.
Speaker 2 (17:51):
It, throwing rocks at it, and so forth.
Speaker 3 (17:53):
And a couple of their friends were trying to tell
them and correct their behavior by telling them that's wrong.
You shouldn't be doing that, et cetera. And they got
mad at them, and they continue doing it. In the end,
I won't give it away, but a monster comes out
and they are certainly they learn their lesson that what
they did came back to bite them, and they eventually
not only ask for forgiveness, which I think is also
(18:16):
very important if you do disrespect somebody, to make sure
you ask for forgiveness, but they learn their lesson to
respect history, to respect that statue that stood for something
very important in their town and their life, and also
to respect their friends who were telling them, you know,
not to do what they were doing, because they knew
what they were doing was wrong, and they were very
rude to them as well. So, I mean, it's a
(18:38):
cute story, but I think the best way to really
teach children's stories and lessons is through stories. So I
think once you show people show kids a story, they
kind of use that and they apply it to the
real life. So hopefully the story will help. At the end,
there's also a bunch of fun activities and games and
so forth where families can actually interact with one another.
(18:58):
Get your kids off the iPad and actually talk to
them and teach them lessons that you can find in
my book.
Speaker 2 (19:04):
Also, you can get it on bravebooks dot com.
Speaker 1 (19:07):
By the way, how hard is it being a parent today?
Speaker 2 (19:13):
You know what's hard being a parent is.
Speaker 3 (19:17):
Actually being a parent with children who are among peers
that don't know how to behave. Because if my children
were to just stay at home and I just homeschooled them,
I would have no problem because they wouldn't be influenced
by negative, you know, negative behavior, and so they wouldn't
know better. But obviously I'm not going to do that.
I have a job, and I also believe in socializing,
(19:38):
and I believe it's important for kids to go to school.
And I also learned during the pandemic that I could
never homeschool full time or I would absolutely go nuts
and become a raging alcoholic. But aside from that, I
think that it's hard because you don't know what other
parents are teaching your kids. And your kids go to
school and they come home and God only knows what
they've learned from some other kid whose parent has made
(20:00):
filled their heads with something that I don't necessarily want
my kids learning.
Speaker 2 (20:04):
I will say it's.
Speaker 3 (20:05):
Easier because my kids go to private Catholic school, so
I don't have to worry so much so about them
learning inappropriate stuff in school, Like they don't have books
about sex. I mean, sex is not something that's discussed
in my kids' school, But in a lot of public schools,
I would be. I wouldn't be mortified because they're teaching
this sort of stuff in kindergarten. I would die if
(20:25):
my kids came home and knew about that, just based
on a conversation.
Speaker 2 (20:28):
With another child. So there's a little more innocence in
my school.
Speaker 3 (20:31):
But that's what's mostly concerning nowadays, is that kids are
way too grown up, way too fast. I like preserving innocence.
The other thing is my kids don't curse. That's like
a thing, which I know is hard to believe, considering
I talk like a sailor. But I remember when I
was in seventh grade, I was so innocent. I didn't
even know what the curse word is that starts with
(20:52):
the letter S and NZ and T. I was on
a bus and a kid said to me, but you
don't know what this word is. I swear I had
no idea, And I was like, oh, what, yeah, I.
Speaker 2 (21:00):
Know that word.
Speaker 3 (21:00):
I'm not going to tell you, but I love the
fact that I did put that into my kids. Like
I don't let my kids curse. I don't even let
them say the word hate. They actually say I h
word that if they really dislike something. They'll even my
fifteen year old till this day will be like, Mommy,
I really h word that.
Speaker 2 (21:17):
That's how innocent my kids are. So I don't know.
Speaker 3 (21:20):
I just wish more parents would try to instill that
in a sense, because it will translate into more responsible, respectable.
Speaker 2 (21:27):
Adults, ladies and gentlemen.
Speaker 1 (21:29):
I've got a great story to tell you. It's heartwarming,
it's refreshing, but most importantly, it's true. So picture this.
A leady named Phyllis walks into the neighborhood pharmacy in Colonia,
New Jersey, and she asks the pharmacist for an antioxidant
cream for her wrinkles. Now, the pharmacist says, look, I
don't have what you're looking for right now, but I'll
compound one for you come back tomorrow. So Phyllis gets
(21:51):
the cream, she uses it for three days. She goes
to her dermatologists appointment, and the dermatologist, just by looking
at her thinks that she's gotten work done. Now Phil's
goes and tells everyone about the pharmacy and the pharmacist
who makes this magical cream. And that's believe it or not,
how Genucell Skincare was born. And that was twenty five
years ago. Genucell has shipped millions of orders, yet they
(22:13):
still have that same philosophy of antioxidants, same natural base,
and same chef in the kitchen mentality. Celebrating twenty five years,
Genucel is offering the best pricing since Phyllis walked into
Georgia's pharmacy, and right now, save over seventy percent off

(23:00):
covered this story on the Big Weekend Show or the
Big Show on Sunday, and like there was this Massachusetts
school district where the school gave out this really graphic
survey about sex questions to children as young as eleven,
and like some of the questions like have you ever
had sexual intercourse and things like that, and it's like,
(23:24):
in what world why would anyone subject an eleven year
ole to that?
Speaker 2 (23:28):
Like it's insanity.
Speaker 3 (23:29):
I've never even had that conversation with my fifteen year olds,
and I know it's time to have it.
Speaker 2 (23:33):
But I mean, I'm not kidding, Like I.
Speaker 3 (23:35):
Really haven't actually had these conversations with them. I mean,
I didn't know what any of that was. But I
guess nowadays it's really hard.
Speaker 2 (23:42):
It's like kids have to.
Speaker 3 (23:43):
Grow up way too soon and they have to learn
all of this off the internet, and that's the problem.
I mean, we didn't have that growing up, Like we
didn't have Google Search.
Speaker 2 (23:51):
But I don't know.
Speaker 3 (23:52):
I just feel that if you teach your children what's
right and what's wrong, and teach them the base of
just having good character, good morals, I think that once
they do learn this stuff, they'll know better to you know,
act a certain way and hopefully not be influenced by
negative peers, because you can't always protect your kids from
(24:13):
being influenced by others. But hopefully once they grow up
and you build a foundation that they'll know better and
they'll grow into respectable adults. But teaching them respect from
a young age is like just the number one most
important thing you can give your children.
Speaker 1 (24:26):
Well, and that's why books like yours are good and
brave books because it gives parents an opportunity to read
them these stories and then you know, have some of
these life conversations with them.
Speaker 3 (24:36):
So yeah, completely, yeah, And I think that's the whole
point is that kids need to parents need to talk
to their kids, like have a conversation, like ask them
about their day, and then when they tell you about
their day.
Speaker 2 (24:48):
Ask them, did anything happen today that you didn't like?
You know, like, instead of how was your day at school?
Of fine? Good?
Speaker 3 (24:55):
Now, so did anything happen today that made you uncomfortable?
Did anything happen today that you thought wasn't fair or
something like that? And then that's how you generate conversations
that are not necessarily because kids are very short term memories,
so you know, you kind of generate a conversation and
then when they tell you about that, they oh, well,
this kid, you know pushed me in in recess.
Speaker 2 (25:15):
Oh okay, and how did you respond to that. I didn't.
I just walked away.
Speaker 3 (25:19):
Well maybe you should have gone up to them and said,
I would like for you to apologize to me, please,
because if I.
Speaker 2 (25:24):
Pushed you, I would say I'm sorry.
Speaker 3 (25:26):
And if not, you know, go and tell your teacher
and then have the teacher talk to that child who
apologized to you, so that they learned that that's not okay.
Speaker 2 (25:33):
You know. But a lot of kids are afraid to
speak up, and then they come home.
Speaker 3 (25:36):
They don't even tell their parents because nobody talks to
their kids anymore.
Speaker 2 (25:39):
They just get on their devices.
Speaker 3 (25:40):
Bravebooks dot Com has a promotion. Actually where I had
my first book was on Perseverance. So if you go

Speaker 2 (26:12):
So I look forward to that.
Speaker 1 (26:13):
Yes, and everyone tune in, all right, Julia, I love you,
so I love you too. And that was Julie Banderas
from Fox News. Appreciate her for making the time to
join the show. Appreciate you guys at home for listening
every Tuesday and Thursday. You can listen throughout the week
until next time.
So move over, marilynd Man. There's now Brooklyn Man. Do
you remember that guy who raped a corpse on a
Manhattan subway. His name is Felix rojas Been. He was
charged with rape and grand larceny. He's now under an
ice detainer, but the media is calling him Brooklyn Man.
So why is the media doing this? When did they
get so insane? My friend and college Julie Banderaz with
(00:23):
Fox News has a surprising take on that You're gonna
want to hear it. We'll also talk about her latest
children's book with Brave Books. It's called The Monumental Mistake.
It sort of plays off of when we saw the
statues being taken down and the left's desire to rewrite history.
Some lessons in that for children. We'll get into that
book with Julie and so much more. She's fun, she's entertaining,
(00:46):
She's one of my favorite people at Fox News. Trust me,
you're gonna want to hear this interview. Stay tuned for
my friend and colleague Julie Banderas banders, I just want
to start this episode by telling you that I love you.
Speaker 2 (01:04):
I love you. I'm so happy we're here together.
Speaker 1 (01:07):
You are one of my favorite people at Fox, and
I know every time we were on together, it's going
to just going to be so much fun. And I
know that whoever is running the studio is going to
get mad at us because we're going to giggle during
the commercial breaks and uh, we're just going to have
the best time.
Speaker 2 (01:28):
I know.
Speaker 3 (01:28):
Well, and also like get mad at us when we
don't wrap when they tell us to rap, because we
get too into our conversations exactly.
Speaker 1 (01:36):
Well, I love you because you're you're smart, obviously, but
you don't like take yourself overly seriously. You know, you're
able to have fun, crack some jokes, and it's just
I know it's always going to be so much fun,
So I love you.
Speaker 3 (01:49):
Well, it's hard to take anything seriously these days, including myself.
Speaker 2 (01:52):
But yeah, this.
Speaker 3 (01:53):
News cycle is the news cycle is always entertaining, so
why not make it more fun by making fun of
each other at the same time.
Speaker 2 (02:00):
Well, in part, like the.
Speaker 1 (02:01):
Media has sort of become a parody, right because they
don't even try telling us the truth anymore. Like, I
don't know if you saw there's this legal alien Felix Rojas.
He's the guy that raped a corpse on the Manhattan Subway.
He's charged with rape and ground larceny, and they were
calling him a Brooklyn man the media, not the guy
(02:24):
who raped the corpse, but just you know, just like
they did with the Maryland man alleged MS thirteen member, right.
Speaker 3 (02:31):
And yes, he's not a Brooklyn man. He's an illegal immigrant.
If you're a Brooklyn man, that means that you were
from New York and he's not. So it's just another
illegal immigrant who was probably busted into New York City
thanks to our genius democratic leaders.
Speaker 2 (02:45):
And so he's not a Brooklyn man, and.
Speaker 3 (02:47):
He should seriously be deported immediately, but first charged with
his crime. But of course in New York City they
don't really punish people for crimes. They book them and
then they release them and then they reoffend. So that's
that's New York City for you. I can't imagine why
you moved to Florida.
Speaker 2 (03:03):
By the way.
Speaker 1 (03:05):
Wait, you know, I mean we'd love to have you
join us. You know, the water's warm. Literally, I love.
Speaker 2 (03:11):
Well, I love Florida, you know that. So yeah, that
would be way too much fun. I don't know if
I could handle us living.
Speaker 3 (03:17):
We would never make it into work, Are you freaking
kidding me? Like that would be that would be the
end of our careers. We'd have to just start like
a podcast full time.
Speaker 1 (03:24):
Yeah, they'd be like, you guys need to move away
from each other. But like, it just points out the
absurdity of the media these days and the fact that
like they just I don't know how they can keep
a straight face with the lies that they Like at
what point did this start happening Because you've been working
in the media for a long time. You started with
local news and then went over to Fox, Like is
(03:47):
it just the Trump ears or like when did you
start noticing where like the media just didn't even bother
telling the truth anymore?
Speaker 2 (03:56):
It was It's.
Speaker 3 (03:57):
Always been bad. I mean obviously under Bill Quick believe
it or not. I was in the television industry, so
there was a major you know, cover up back then.
And that was back in my very early TV years,
like my first television job. I remember the whole Bill
Clinton scandal and a lot of people trying to cover
up for him. But it's just been like a downward
spiral ever since then. I would say that the very
(04:20):
worst though, has been in since twenty sixteen, since Trump
took office, because it's just the hate in.
Speaker 2 (04:27):
This country has never been deeper.
Speaker 3 (04:29):
Like you never saw hate against Bill Clinton for having
sex with a woman in his office and having an
affair in the White House. Like there wasn't really that
big of an outcry. It was kind of like, oh,
that's just Bill being Bill. But it's amazing that since then,
you know, it's.
Speaker 2 (04:46):
Just so much different.
Speaker 3 (04:47):
Like the political divide in this country is so much different.
Speaker 2 (04:51):
And it's not.
Speaker 3 (04:51):
About just criticizing the president, the current president and lacking
respect of the highest office in the land, but.
Speaker 2 (04:58):
It's also hating anyone who supports that person in office.
Like that's the part that really blows my mind.
Speaker 3 (05:04):
It's one thing if you don't support the president that's
in the office, Okay, fine you didn't, you didn't elect them,
but get over it.
Speaker 2 (05:10):
Somebody's got to win, somebody's got to lose.
Speaker 3 (05:12):
You lost, Fine, you don't agree with all their policies, fine,
But to hate every single person that you know that
voted for that person is ludicrous. And it's ever since
Trump was voted into the White House. If you're maga
and I hate that people have to associate anyone who's
supported Trump as MAGA. Basically, you're a Republican and if
you vote the Republican candidate, God forbid, and you make
(05:34):
it known you're going to get you're gonna get hate
depending on what part of the country you're in. That's
what That's what the society has become. It's really gross.
The political divide is worst than I've ever seen.
Speaker 1 (05:46):
But Julie, Bill Clinton told us I did not have
sexual relations with that woman.
Speaker 2 (05:50):
Are you trying to tell me that he did?
Speaker 3 (05:53):
Yeah, I'm trying to tell you that politicians lie. And
I know it's so surprising, and I'm surprised that the
media even covered it back then and didn't try to
cover it up and make some sort of excuse like
I don't know, Monica Lewinsky tried to attack him and
he was just on the defense.
Speaker 2 (06:11):
But I mean, that's what I mean.
Speaker 3 (06:13):
And you know, back then, I don't remember a bunch
of Republicans saying, oh, I hate Bill Clinton.
Speaker 2 (06:18):
They were just like, ow gross.
Speaker 3 (06:19):
You know, and he should be he should be impeached.
But it wasn't let's go out and hate every Democrat
that put him in office, do you know what I mean? Like,
there's just such a double standard, Like when a Democrat
screws up, we don't hate all the Democrats, we just
dislike whatever that Democrat.
Speaker 2 (06:36):
Did in particular.
Speaker 3 (06:37):
But when a Republican does something wrong, every Republican is
a piece of garbage. And I mean, that's actually how
people feel.
Speaker 2 (06:45):
In this country.
Speaker 3 (06:46):
I really can't believe that people are that ignorant and stupid.
Speaker 2 (06:49):
But why do they get that.
Speaker 3 (06:50):
They get it from the mainstream media because the mainstream
media feeds the public such bs and they actually buy
it because they're that ignorant.
Speaker 2 (06:58):
It's ridiculous.
Speaker 3 (06:59):
And then you watch all the mainstream TV shows like
The View for example, you know, and they spew the
same crap, and they have these celebrities on there who
should never be talking politics spewing the same crap.
Speaker 2 (07:10):
So when you hear enough famous.
Speaker 3 (07:11):
People talk crap about a particular Republican party, a particular
party in general, you're going to start to buy it
because people don't know any better.
Speaker 2 (07:20):
So it's really the media's fault.
Speaker 3 (07:22):
I think a huge part of it is the media's
fault for feeding lies to the American public, and the
American public are buying it. Unless you're watching channels like
Fox where we actually do cover both sides, or at
least I do.
Speaker 2 (07:33):
We've got more with duey banderas first.
Speaker 1 (07:36):
Do you know, just like here in the US, Israel
has their own Independence Day in case you missed it
this year, Israel's Independence Day was a few days ago
on May first. But for the people of Israel, freedom
is nothing more than a daily struggle just to survive.
There's no real peace, only terror, no joy, just suffering.
Israeli government recognizes the International Fellowship of Christians and Jews
(07:58):
for ongoing help to make sure the elderly, the sick,
the wounded, soldiers, and impoverished families don't fall through the cracks.
Your gift to the Fellowship today will provide life saving aid, medicine,
hearty meals, safety and comfort for so many. I believe
that when we bless the people of Israel, we unlock
God's blessing in our lives as well. Show your support
for Israel's independence by making a life saving gift today.
(08:20):
Call to make your gift at eight eight eight four
a eight IFCJ. That's eight eight eight four A eight
four three two five, or go online at IFCJ dot org.
That's IFCJ dot org. It's a totally double standard to
your point, because I remember even when I worked on
Capitol even back then, like if one person said some
(08:42):
if one Republican said something like stupid or you know whatever,
the media would go around to every single Republican in
Congress and be like, do you agree with what so
and so said? And then like someone on the left,
like these Democrats can fire bomb at Tesla, and like
the media is not going around being like do you
do you support for the firebombing of Tesla or like
the key right, it's like.
Speaker 3 (09:03):
It and there's no outrage, like there's neuro outrage. I mean,
the Democrats are the one that we're pressing for electric cars.
Speaker 2 (09:12):
I mean it was it was under Obama.
Speaker 3 (09:15):
That they started even talking about Joe Biden wanted to
press people and force people into electric cars. And then
in fact they were threatening that they were going to
get rid of gas guzzlers because everybody should be driving electrics.
So it's Democrats who were setting each other's cars on fire.
Speaker 2 (09:32):
That's how stupid they are.
Speaker 3 (09:33):
I mean, it's just absolutely ridiculous. And you think you're
hurting Elon Musk, You've got to be kidding me. No,
you're hurting your fellow Democrat who voted Joe Biden into
office and told you to buy an electric car, you moron.
Speaker 2 (09:46):
That's what they are.
Speaker 1 (09:47):
Well, And I remember after the election too, I think
it was Axios had this article about like Trump supporters
come out of the shadows, and I was thinking.
Speaker 2 (09:55):
To myself, like they should have never had it.
Speaker 1 (09:56):
Been in the shadows in the first place, Like this
is America, and like they created this environment where somehow,
just because you supported President Trump, like what you're supposed
to have shame or something, you know, like the beauty
of this election as we found out that there's more,
you know, Trump supporters, there's more people that support common
sense than not. But you know, they just created this
(10:16):
environment where, you know, obviously they labeled President Trump of
so many things and then extended that to his supporters
as well.
Speaker 3 (10:24):
Yeah, I mean, I think some celebrities actually did come
out in favor of him. So I think that helped
somewhat because I think even liberal Hollywood was starting to
get sick and tired of the Biden policies, and they
looked at the state of California, for example, and they
were thinking, Oh my god, what in the world has
our great state become.
Speaker 2 (10:44):
I mean, this was supposed to be this, you.
Speaker 3 (10:45):
Know, like star studded state with a bunch of you know,
celebrity stars, and now it's.
Speaker 2 (10:52):
Become a homeless shelter.
Speaker 3 (10:53):
So I mean, I guess that's when they finally wake
up and realize, oh, so the people that we voted
into office are actually just ring our states so much
so that so many people are moving out of the
state of California. But it's a little too late. They
voted these people into office and they're the ones that
are actually destroying their cities. And it's all the democratic
cities that are a mess, and it's going to take
forever to go back.
Speaker 2 (11:14):
And clean them up. And the deportation plan.
Speaker 3 (11:16):
Under trus you know, President Trump obviously is a great start,
but we're still seeing stories like you just said, the
Maryland a legal immigrant, and the one in Brooklyn, and
the list goes.
Speaker 2 (11:27):
On and on. So I mean, this is just so
past due to clean up the mess.
Speaker 3 (11:31):
And I can't understand why Democrats can't actually acknowledge the
fact that what Trump is doing is good for this
country and not bad. They're actually defending you know, the
guy that was sent off to El Salvador.
Speaker 2 (11:43):
You know, they're crying over this.
Speaker 3 (11:44):
Man, thinking that he should be let back into this country. Oh,
let's bring him back so that he can beat his
wife again. I mean, the guy is charged with domestic violence,
and they're more concerned about the fact that he was deported.
I mean, crimea river you could stay in also, I mean,
we'll not be making it back into this country because
this administration isn't going to cower to the pressure of
(12:06):
liberals who are thinking that this was some sort of
unjust act. You know what's unjust beating and kicking your wife,
that's unjust.
Speaker 2 (12:12):
They should be more concerned about that.
Speaker 1 (12:14):
Yeah, and they don't understand that, like wanting secure borders,
it's not like a racial thing.
Speaker 2 (12:21):
It's not, you know, it's just and.
Speaker 1 (12:23):
That's something that we collectively and mutually decided as a country.
And even so much so where you had you know,
President Trump getting some of the best numbers with Hispanics
in a long time for a Republican because every American
came together and they said, you know what, we want
our scarce resources to go to American citizens. And we
saw that in places like Springfield, Ohio, where you know,
(12:44):
you had this influx of Haitian migrants and city resources
were being drinked, or even here in a city like
New York with a lot of resources, where we had
Eric Adams being like, oh yeah, like maybe this isn't
the best idea because we're going to go bankrupt as
a city. But and you know, still somehow doubling down
on being a sanctuary city.
Speaker 2 (13:03):
So it's like, you know, it's just madness.
Speaker 3 (13:05):
I mean, it's the woke culture that has totally dominated politics,
and it's made politicians who want to get reelected afraid
to stand up.
Speaker 2 (13:14):
For what's right.
Speaker 3 (13:15):
And you know, again, denouncing illegals coming into this country
doesn't mean or make.
Speaker 2 (13:21):
You a racist. It makes you want to secure our.
Speaker 3 (13:24):
Borders, you know, to protect our society. The same as
when you say that you know, a trans female shouldn't
be competing against other women when they are a biological man.
That's not hating trans, that's not anti LGBTQ, that's not homophobic.
Speaker 2 (13:43):
That's just fair.
Speaker 3 (13:44):
But you know, God forbid that you're fair and you
want the best for your country and the best for
your society, because then that makes you a hateful person.
Speaker 2 (13:53):
But you know, the ones that are really hating out
there are actually the Democrats.
Speaker 3 (13:57):
And that's why they're such hypocrites, because they reach that
the Republicans are hateful and that they hate certain demographics,
they hate minorities.
Speaker 2 (14:06):
No, that's not it. They're protecting America, and America.
Speaker 3 (14:09):
Is built of not just white people, it's built of minorities.
This is a country, it's it's a melting pot. So
it's just talking on the two sides of the mouth,
and I can't even take it anymore. The hypocrisy is
just it's beyond beyond.
Speaker 2 (14:25):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (14:25):
I mean, we saw a lot of minority communities and
inner cities very upset that their resources were being diverted
to people who you know, shouldn't didn't do the right way,
shouldn't be here.
Speaker 2 (14:35):
But talking about all the nonsense, So you have.
Speaker 1 (14:37):
A new children's book out sort of you know, playing
off a little bit and telling a story a monumental mistake.
And when we saw a period of time where you know,
monuments were being taken down where the left they were
trying to erase the past. I mean, I remember I
was at a dinner one time and someone tried to
like start a fight with me, and I was like,
well they tried destroying I was like, the Left tried
to destroy a one hundred and twenty year old oak
(14:59):
statue and downtown Portland, Like, please tell me how that
result like that that solves anything, you know, So tell
me a little bit about your book monumental mistake and
you know how you got the idea for it.
Speaker 3 (15:11):
Well, I mean ever since I had kids, and I
now have three, they're all mine.
Speaker 2 (15:17):
Yeah, so the respect factor is lacking severely.
Speaker 3 (15:21):
And I've always recognized the fact that children are not
taught respect the way that we were taught respect when
we were kids.
Speaker 2 (15:28):
And it really really bothers me.
Speaker 3 (15:29):
But I've always hammered it into my kids' heads that,
you know, we have to respect each other, we have
to respect our peers, we have to respect authority, teachers,
police officers. On New Year's Eve, when I lived in
New York City, I used to take my kids down
to the streets every single night before midnight or right
after the clock struck midnight, and we would walk up
to every officer that we could find, and there were
tons because I lived right on Central Park. By times
(15:52):
square and everyone would go you know, my kids would
go up to them and say, thank you for your service.
You know, show respect to the people that are protecting you.
Share respect for your country, share respect for the people
that came before you, that actually earned you the right
to have the freedoms that we have and we enjoy
every day in this country. And that's the problem in
this country is that, first of all.
Speaker 2 (16:12):
Nobody respects each other. You know, nobody respects each other
if they disagree with one another.
Speaker 3 (16:17):
And that is a real hard lesson that our children
are learning because they're watching they're watching their parents spew
hatred about maybe if they're a Democrat and they don't
like Republicans, and they're telling them, oh, don't be friends
with anyone whose parents voted for Trump because Trump is bad.
So we're instilling all these really negative, awful values in
(16:37):
our children. And these are children that are eventually going
to grow up and be the ones protesting at colleges
like these protests that we've been seeing since October seventh.
So this is a time where parents need to buckle
down and actually teach their children the values and the
morals that really started this country.
Speaker 2 (16:54):
Because I don't know where they went, but.
Speaker 3 (16:56):
It shouldn't be old fashioned to be polite to say
thank you and yes sir and no man. That shouldn't
be an old fashioned, you know ideology, the woke ideology
is what is stripping Americans and their children of respect.
And I think it's time to just get back to
that that base, which is unfortunate that it seems to
(17:17):
lack in every single school right now.
Speaker 1 (17:20):
And so the story it tells the story of Fiona
is the lioness, Moby is the bear, Arthur is the lion,
and then Cassius the tiger.
Speaker 3 (17:28):
Very good, yes, And so basically they get into conflict
because a couple of the characters disrespect a monument, like
you said, And that's another example of what happens in
this country where maybe a monument stands for something that
happened in the past, but you know, people that live
in present day don't care about the history that brought
them to where we are today. So then they started,
(17:49):
you know, disrespecting it, defacing.
Speaker 2 (17:51):
It, throwing rocks at it, and so forth.
Speaker 3 (17:53):
And a couple of their friends were trying to tell
them and correct their behavior by telling them that's wrong.
You shouldn't be doing that, et cetera. And they got
mad at them, and they continue doing it. In the end,
I won't give it away, but a monster comes out
and they are certainly they learn their lesson that what
they did came back to bite them, and they eventually
not only ask for forgiveness, which I think is also
(18:16):
very important if you do disrespect somebody, to make sure
you ask for forgiveness, but they learn their lesson to
respect history, to respect that statue that stood for something
very important in their town and their life, and also
to respect their friends who were telling them, you know,
not to do what they were doing, because they knew
what they were doing was wrong, and they were very
rude to them as well. So, I mean, it's a
(18:38):
cute story, but I think the best way to really
teach children's stories and lessons is through stories. So I
think once you show people show kids a story, they
kind of use that and they apply it to the
real life. So hopefully the story will help. At the end,
there's also a bunch of fun activities and games and
so forth where families can actually interact with one another.
(18:58):
Get your kids off the iPad and actually talk to
them and teach them lessons that you can find in
my book.
Speaker 2 (19:04):
Also, you can get it on bravebooks dot com.
Speaker 1 (19:07):
By the way, how hard is it being a parent today?
Speaker 2 (19:13):
You know what's hard being a parent is.
Speaker 3 (19:17):
Actually being a parent with children who are among peers
that don't know how to behave. Because if my children
were to just stay at home and I just homeschooled them,
I would have no problem because they wouldn't be influenced
by negative, you know, negative behavior, and so they wouldn't
know better. But obviously I'm not going to do that.
I have a job, and I also believe in socializing,
(19:38):
and I believe it's important for kids to go to school.
And I also learned during the pandemic that I could
never homeschool full time or I would absolutely go nuts
and become a raging alcoholic. But aside from that, I
think that it's hard because you don't know what other
parents are teaching your kids. And your kids go to
school and they come home and God only knows what
they've learned from some other kid whose parent has made
(20:00):
filled their heads with something that I don't necessarily want
my kids learning.
Speaker 2 (20:04):
I will say it's.
Speaker 3 (20:05):
Easier because my kids go to private Catholic school, so
I don't have to worry so much so about them
learning inappropriate stuff in school, Like they don't have books
about sex. I mean, sex is not something that's discussed
in my kids' school, But in a lot of public schools,
I would be. I wouldn't be mortified because they're teaching
this sort of stuff in kindergarten. I would die if
(20:25):
my kids came home and knew about that, just based
on a conversation.
Speaker 2 (20:28):
With another child. So there's a little more innocence in
my school.
Speaker 3 (20:31):
But that's what's mostly concerning nowadays, is that kids are
way too grown up, way too fast. I like preserving innocence.
The other thing is my kids don't curse. That's like
a thing, which I know is hard to believe, considering
I talk like a sailor. But I remember when I
was in seventh grade, I was so innocent. I didn't
even know what the curse word is that starts with
(20:52):
the letter S and NZ and T. I was on
a bus and a kid said to me, but you
don't know what this word is. I swear I had
no idea, And I was like, oh, what, yeah, I.
Speaker 2 (21:00):
Know that word.
Speaker 3 (21:00):
I'm not going to tell you, but I love the
fact that I did put that into my kids. Like
I don't let my kids curse. I don't even let
them say the word hate. They actually say I h
word that if they really dislike something. They'll even my
fifteen year old till this day will be like, Mommy,
I really h word that.
Speaker 2 (21:17):
That's how innocent my kids are. So I don't know.
Speaker 3 (21:20):
I just wish more parents would try to instill that
in a sense, because it will translate into more responsible, respectable.
Speaker 2 (21:27):
Adults, ladies and gentlemen.
Speaker 1 (21:29):
I've got a great story to tell you. It's heartwarming,
it's refreshing, but most importantly, it's true. So picture this.
A leady named Phyllis walks into the neighborhood pharmacy in Colonia,
New Jersey, and she asks the pharmacist for an antioxidant
cream for her wrinkles. Now, the pharmacist says, look, I
don't have what you're looking for right now, but I'll
compound one for you come back tomorrow. So Phyllis gets
(21:51):
the cream, she uses it for three days. She goes
to her dermatologists appointment, and the dermatologist, just by looking
at her thinks that she's gotten work done. Now Phil's
goes and tells everyone about the pharmacy and the pharmacist
who makes this magical cream. And that's believe it or not,
how Genucell Skincare was born. And that was twenty five
years ago. Genucell has shipped millions of orders, yet they
(22:13):
still have that same philosophy of antioxidants, same natural base,
and same chef in the kitchen mentality. Celebrating twenty five years,
Genucel is offering the best pricing since Phyllis walked into
Georgia's pharmacy, and right now, save over seventy percent off
Genucell's complete skincare package featuring the genusl Underreye bags and

com slash Lisa. Well it's hard because you know, we
(23:00):
covered this story on the Big Weekend Show or the
Big Show on Sunday, and like there was this Massachusetts
school district where the school gave out this really graphic
survey about sex questions to children as young as eleven,
and like some of the questions like have you ever
had sexual intercourse and things like that, and it's like,
(23:24):
in what world why would anyone subject an eleven year
ole to that?
Speaker 2 (23:28):
Like it's insanity.
Speaker 3 (23:29):
I've never even had that conversation with my fifteen year olds,
and I know it's time to have it.
Speaker 2 (23:33):
But I mean, I'm not kidding, Like I.
Speaker 3 (23:35):
Really haven't actually had these conversations with them. I mean,
I didn't know what any of that was. But I
guess nowadays it's really hard.
Speaker 2 (23:42):
It's like kids have to.
Speaker 3 (23:43):
Grow up way too soon and they have to learn
all of this off the internet, and that's the problem.
I mean, we didn't have that growing up, Like we
didn't have Google Search.
Speaker 2 (23:51):
But I don't know.
Speaker 3 (23:52):
I just feel that if you teach your children what's
right and what's wrong, and teach them the base of
just having good character, good morals, I think that once
they do learn this stuff, they'll know better to you know,
act a certain way and hopefully not be influenced by
negative peers, because you can't always protect your kids from
(24:13):
being influenced by others. But hopefully once they grow up
and you build a foundation that they'll know better and
they'll grow into respectable adults. But teaching them respect from
a young age is like just the number one most
important thing you can give your children.
Speaker 1 (24:26):
Well, and that's why books like yours are good and
brave books because it gives parents an opportunity to read
them these stories and then you know, have some of
these life conversations with them.
Speaker 3 (24:36):
So yeah, completely, yeah, And I think that's the whole
point is that kids need to parents need to talk
to their kids, like have a conversation, like ask them
about their day, and then when they tell you about
their day.
Speaker 2 (24:48):
Ask them, did anything happen today that you didn't like?
You know, like, instead of how was your day at school?
Of fine? Good?
Speaker 3 (24:55):
Now, so did anything happen today that made you uncomfortable?
Did anything happen today that you thought wasn't fair or
something like that? And then that's how you generate conversations
that are not necessarily because kids are very short term memories,
so you know, you kind of generate a conversation and
then when they tell you about that, they oh, well,
this kid, you know pushed me in in recess.
Speaker 2 (25:15):
Oh okay, and how did you respond to that. I didn't.
I just walked away.
Speaker 3 (25:19):
Well maybe you should have gone up to them and said,
I would like for you to apologize to me, please,
because if I.
Speaker 2 (25:24):
Pushed you, I would say I'm sorry.
Speaker 3 (25:26):
And if not, you know, go and tell your teacher
and then have the teacher talk to that child who
apologized to you, so that they learned that that's not okay.
Speaker 2 (25:33):
You know. But a lot of kids are afraid to
speak up, and then they come home.
Speaker 3 (25:36):
They don't even tell their parents because nobody talks to
their kids anymore.
Speaker 2 (25:39):
They just get on their devices.
Speaker 3 (25:40):
Bravebooks dot Com has a promotion. Actually where I had
my first book was on Perseverance. So if you go
