Swamp is horrible. The government doesn't work. 5 00:00:12.400 --> 00:00:15.160 Man, make us like a reality TV show. 6 00:00:15.320 --> 00:00:18.160 Corn Pop was a bad noose. Always a pleasure to 7 00:00:18.160 --> 00:00:22.000 be anywhere from Washington, DC. Hey, Joe, a. 8 00:00:22.000 --> 00:00:24.879 Town hall too, clearly built on a swamp and in 9 00:00:24.960 --> 00:00:26.120 so many ways. 10 00:00:25.839 --> 00:00:28.120 Still a swamp. I have a batch of malarkey, he 11 00:00:28.160 --> 00:00:30.160 said the swamp. I said, Oh, that's so hope. 12 00:00:30.280 --> 00:00:33.840 Keep you know the thing. 13 00:00:34.359 --> 00:00:37.200 Well, we saw the fifty eight year old suspect in 14 00:00:37.280 --> 00:00:42.320 this second ASSEMPT attempted assassination, Ryan Routh, were a blue 15 00:00:42.600 --> 00:00:45.840 inmate jumpsuit in his initial appearance in the federal courtroom 16 00:00:45.880 --> 00:00:50.560 in Florida today facing two federal gun charges, possessing a 17 00:00:50.600 --> 00:00:53.439 firearm as a felon and possessing a firearm with an 18 00:00:53.479 --> 00:00:58.200 obliterated serial number. The breakdown of the story is that 19 00:00:58.280 --> 00:01:01.960 he showed up at Trump National Golf Course down in 20 00:01:02.159 --> 00:01:06.640 West Palm Beach and according to cell phone records, they 21 00:01:06.640 --> 00:01:09.200 said he was in the area for as long as 22 00:01:09.319 --> 00:01:14.200 twelve hours before a Secret Service agent noticed the barrel 23 00:01:14.239 --> 00:01:16.640 of a rifle coming out of some shrubs or trees 24 00:01:16.760 --> 00:01:19.000 or whatever alongside the golf course and peeled off. 25 00:01:19.040 --> 00:01:22.760 They said at least four shots towards that. This guy then. 26 00:01:22.760 --> 00:01:26.040 Bounced out, left, jumped in a truck, and took off 27 00:01:26.359 --> 00:01:29.519 a Nissan pathfine, or took off somebody. And again I 28 00:01:29.560 --> 00:01:33.000 don't know why if that somebody heard the gun shots 29 00:01:33.079 --> 00:01:35.719 and then saw somebody running and thought maybe I want 30 00:01:35.719 --> 00:01:38.159 to record that, but was able to snap a picture 31 00:01:38.200 --> 00:01:40.319 of the guy getting into that Nissan, so they had 32 00:01:40.319 --> 00:01:43.040 a license plate number, which is why they caught the 33 00:01:43.079 --> 00:01:45.319 guy relatively quickly in the neighboring counties. 34 00:01:45.359 --> 00:01:46.760 He's driving down I ninety five. 35 00:01:47.599 --> 00:01:50.599 This was a win for the Secret Service, the fact 36 00:01:50.640 --> 00:01:53.680 that they spotted a rifle pointing through some shrubbery. 37 00:01:53.959 --> 00:01:56.719 That's pretty good, right, That's exactly what they're supposed to do. 38 00:01:57.079 --> 00:01:57.599 Yeah. 39 00:01:57.719 --> 00:02:02.000 Now, because there was no outer perimeter that would that 40 00:02:02.079 --> 00:02:05.640 the guy apparently breached, there was. I mean, yes, I 41 00:02:05.680 --> 00:02:08.240 don't want somebody with a long gun within a few 42 00:02:08.280 --> 00:02:10.960 hundred yards of a former president or anybody. 43 00:02:11.000 --> 00:02:13.120 But I don't think. 44 00:02:13.039 --> 00:02:19.479 The the Secret Service had an expectation of protection there 45 00:02:19.759 --> 00:02:20.800 the way that they did in. 46 00:02:20.759 --> 00:02:21.439 Butler, PA. 47 00:02:22.520 --> 00:02:27.520 I will say that the Secret Service agent did shoot 48 00:02:27.560 --> 00:02:29.680 at this guy and did miss. 49 00:02:30.159 --> 00:02:31.840 So there is well and well, I don't know how far, 50 00:02:31.919 --> 00:02:33.520 how long, how far away he was. 51 00:02:33.800 --> 00:02:36.080 If you shot at somebody and you missed, you would 52 00:02:36.080 --> 00:02:37.280 never hear the end of it from me. 53 00:02:38.400 --> 00:02:40.120 Okay, well, I don't plan. 54 00:02:40.280 --> 00:02:42.400 I mean if it was your job, not if you 55 00:02:42.479 --> 00:02:43.759 were just shooting that. 56 00:02:45.560 --> 00:02:46.719 Decided to shoot somebody. 57 00:02:46.919 --> 00:02:50.639 Now, this guy has quite a record, apparently an extensive 58 00:02:50.639 --> 00:02:55.159 criminal history in North Carolina from whence he came. In 59 00:02:55.159 --> 00:02:58.639 two thousand and two, he was charged with later pleaded 60 00:02:58.639 --> 00:03:01.840 guilty to fell in possession of weapon of mass destruction, 61 00:03:02.439 --> 00:03:06.159 including and other charges including resisting an officer carrying a 62 00:03:06.159 --> 00:03:09.479 concealed weapon, ID card fraud apparently in two thousand and two, 63 00:03:09.520 --> 00:03:12.360 that was when he was found in possession of a 64 00:03:12.360 --> 00:03:18.120 fully automatic weapon. Those were the most serious charges that 65 00:03:18.159 --> 00:03:20.360 he faced. But there's a bunch of other stuff that 66 00:03:20.400 --> 00:03:23.159 he was popped for, like a bounce and b. 67 00:03:23.319 --> 00:03:26.759 He's a he's a perfect fall guy for the conspiracy. 68 00:03:27.400 --> 00:03:29.360 The conspiracy theory. 69 00:03:29.000 --> 00:03:33.639 That Trump needed attention and somebody in the orbit found 70 00:03:33.680 --> 00:03:37.280 this guy was able to back channel into his Communica, 71 00:03:37.960 --> 00:03:41.800 social media or otherwise and get a move in. 72 00:03:42.039 --> 00:03:42.639 Get a move in. 73 00:03:43.719 --> 00:03:48.319 The sheriff even intimate to this, The sheriff said, how 74 00:03:48.360 --> 00:03:50.560 does a guy from not here get all the way 75 00:03:50.599 --> 00:03:54.360 to Trump International realize that the former president is golfing 76 00:03:54.520 --> 00:03:57.400 and able to get a rifle in that vicinity? Is 77 00:03:57.439 --> 00:04:00.280 this guy part of a conspiracy, the sheriff said, Is 78 00:04:00.319 --> 00:04:03.439 he a lone gunman? If he's part of a conspiracy, 79 00:04:03.439 --> 00:04:06.639 then this whole thing really takes on a very ominous tone. 80 00:04:06.879 --> 00:04:08.919 Well, boom, it's not me and my bunker. 81 00:04:09.560 --> 00:04:12.680 But his use of the term conspiracy is different than 82 00:04:12.719 --> 00:04:16.839 your term conspiracy. His term conspiracy means that just there's 83 00:04:16.879 --> 00:04:17.759 more than one person. 84 00:04:17.879 --> 00:04:22.680 Any any conspiracy would be ominous. Well, whether it was 85 00:04:22.959 --> 00:04:24.920 insider job people involved. 86 00:04:26.319 --> 00:04:30.879 This guy may have had some some substance issues. Fifteen 87 00:04:30.959 --> 00:04:33.680 years ago, charged with misdemeanor possession of controlled substance. It 88 00:04:33.680 --> 00:04:38.439 was eventually dismissed. Guilty of misdemeanor possession of stolen goods 89 00:04:38.480 --> 00:04:42.240 three years probation, possession of stolen vehicle that was dismissed, 90 00:04:42.639 --> 00:04:46.879 traffic issues, a bunch of stuff. They've accused of of 91 00:04:46.879 --> 00:04:48.879 failing to pay his taxes, on time. 92 00:04:49.120 --> 00:04:53.160 Well, who pays their taxes and on time? I would 93 00:04:53.199 --> 00:04:54.560 say the majority of people. 94 00:04:54.879 --> 00:05:01.959 Oh so, I mean this guy is well known perhaps 95 00:05:02.639 --> 00:05:05.839 to law enforcement, although not necessarily well known to the 96 00:05:05.879 --> 00:05:07.680 rest of everybody else. 97 00:05:08.240 --> 00:05:09.879 When we come back, I wanted to play for you. 98 00:05:09.920 --> 00:05:11.519 I didn't get to this early in the show, but 99 00:05:12.000 --> 00:05:14.720 his interview with Newsweek Romania. Now, one of the things 100 00:05:14.720 --> 00:05:17.240 that this guy is known for and has actually been 101 00:05:17.279 --> 00:05:20.519 interviewed by places like The New York Times for is 102 00:05:20.639 --> 00:05:25.639 his travel to Ukraine to fight Russia on behalf of Ukraine, 103 00:05:26.199 --> 00:05:29.160 and he was amazed that more people weren't doing that. 104 00:05:29.600 --> 00:05:30.000 Did you care? 105 00:05:30.120 --> 00:05:34.800 Jim Harbaugh talking about JK. Dobbin's flip into the end zone. No, 106 00:05:35.519 --> 00:05:36.480 I'm going to send. 107 00:05:36.360 --> 00:05:38.759 Jacob the audio. It's hilarious. 108 00:05:38.839 --> 00:05:41.199 It's like classic Jim Harbaugh, and we can play it 109 00:05:41.199 --> 00:05:43.600 in Fantasy for play when we talk about how we 110 00:05:43.639 --> 00:05:45.800 all failed miserably picking games. 111 00:05:45.800 --> 00:05:48.519 This weekend, a couple of retired New York City Fire 112 00:05:48.519 --> 00:05:51.399 Department fire chiefs were arrested by the Feds early today. 113 00:05:51.439 --> 00:05:53.639 They were accepting more than one hundred ninety thousand dollars 114 00:05:53.720 --> 00:05:57.800 in bribes to allegedly help fast track safety inspections and reviews. 115 00:05:58.360 --> 00:06:02.279 These two worked in the fdn WAES Bureau of Fire Prevention, 116 00:06:02.399 --> 00:06:06.480 picked up on bribery, corruption, false statements offenses as part 117 00:06:06.519 --> 00:06:10.519 of this long running corruption probe that has touched all 118 00:06:10.759 --> 00:06:14.040 parts of city Hall there in New York City. 119 00:06:15.160 --> 00:06:19.279 Hey, did you see this bit about Donald Trump Junior. 120 00:06:19.240 --> 00:06:22.399 And somebody who's not Kimberly Gilfoyle. 121 00:06:22.800 --> 00:06:25.639 Yes, they say it's glamorous. 122 00:06:25.720 --> 00:06:26.600 It girl. 123 00:06:28.000 --> 00:06:31.600 Bettina Anderson, thirty seven years old, and they had an 124 00:06:31.600 --> 00:06:35.959 intimate brunch date last month, and apparently the romance is 125 00:06:36.000 --> 00:06:39.199 all the talk of Palm Beach. She is a model, 126 00:06:39.279 --> 00:06:46.120 an influencer and a philanthropist and a philanderer, And witnesses 127 00:06:46.160 --> 00:06:48.000 to the counter say it was clear it was not 128 00:06:48.120 --> 00:06:53.160 a business meeting, that she reached over and planted sexy 129 00:06:53.240 --> 00:06:56.759 kisses on his lips three times, that she was totally 130 00:06:56.800 --> 00:06:58.279 smitten with him, and he with her. 131 00:06:58.839 --> 00:06:59.839 They looked relaxed. 132 00:07:00.519 --> 00:07:06.040 Definitely a date, like I care about his relationship with 133 00:07:06.120 --> 00:07:09.040 Kimberly Guilfoyle.

This is a guy 140 00:07:30.120 --> 00:07:35.759 who investigators said hid himself and his automatic semi automatic 141 00:07:35.879 --> 00:07:40.240 rifle sorry just outside Trump National Golf Course there in 142 00:07:40.279 --> 00:07:44.319 West Palm Beach, Florida, yesterday in an attempt apparently to 143 00:07:44.560 --> 00:07:48.879 assassinate the former president. He was spotted, or at least 144 00:07:48.920 --> 00:07:51.360 the barrel of the gun was spotted by Secret Service 145 00:07:51.399 --> 00:07:54.160 agent who fired at him, and then the guy got 146 00:07:54.240 --> 00:07:56.959 up and ran. What they found there was this AK 147 00:07:57.120 --> 00:08:01.040 forty seven style rifle, a couple of backpacks hanging on 148 00:08:01.120 --> 00:08:04.800 the fence that may have had some sort of ceramic 149 00:08:04.839 --> 00:08:09.720 ballistic shield in them, little plates that I guess could 150 00:08:09.720 --> 00:08:12.879 have been used to protect him, and then a go 151 00:08:12.959 --> 00:08:16.120 pro camera as well. Either I don't know if it 152 00:08:16.160 --> 00:08:17.720 was trained on him or if it was trained on 153 00:08:17.720 --> 00:08:20.040 the golf course. They said there may have been a 154 00:08:20.040 --> 00:08:23.399 scope that he was using potentially to follow the president, 155 00:08:23.439 --> 00:08:26.279 but the president never got within I think they said 156 00:08:26.360 --> 00:08:28.680 was four hundred yards was as close as he got 157 00:08:29.000 --> 00:08:31.639 before he was whisked away back to the clubhouse and 158 00:08:31.680 --> 00:08:35.519 then taken Tomorrow Lago, which amazingly is a much more 159 00:08:35.639 --> 00:08:39.480 secure facility. Now, this guy made his name for himself 160 00:08:39.679 --> 00:08:43.759 recently because he was one of many foreigners who traveled 161 00:08:43.759 --> 00:08:48.080 to Ukraine to fight on behalf of the Ukrainian government 162 00:08:48.159 --> 00:08:52.159 and people against Russia. And he did an interview with 163 00:08:52.879 --> 00:08:55.000 Newsweek Romania about his plans. 164 00:08:55.080 --> 00:08:58.480 The question as far as why I'm here, So maybe 165 00:08:58.600 --> 00:09:00.919 you know a lot of the other cons gray, but 166 00:09:01.039 --> 00:09:03.759 this conflict is definitely black and white. This is about 167 00:09:03.879 --> 00:09:07.200 good versus evil. This is a storybook, you know, any 168 00:09:07.240 --> 00:09:11.200 movie we've ever watched. This is definitely evil against good. 169 00:09:11.320 --> 00:09:15.080 I mean, we're battling a situation here where you know, 170 00:09:15.120 --> 00:09:17.759 the Ukrainians and the rest of the world are caring 171 00:09:17.840 --> 00:09:22.960 and kind and generous and unselfish and take care of 172 00:09:22.960 --> 00:09:26.759 one another, and it's just a matter of, you. 173 00:09:26.720 --> 00:09:27.919 Know, we need to stand up for that. 174 00:09:29.360 --> 00:09:32.039 Half of his hair was purple in that interview, and 175 00:09:32.120 --> 00:09:37.519 half of it was dyed, was bleached blonde. Not that Listen, 176 00:09:37.759 --> 00:09:39.399 people can do what they want with their hair. I'm 177 00:09:39.440 --> 00:09:41.759 just trying to paint you, judgy, just trying to paint 178 00:09:41.759 --> 00:09:46.919 the picture. According to the response of the former president, 179 00:09:47.000 --> 00:09:49.840 I mean this is becoming old hat for him, so 180 00:09:50.120 --> 00:09:52.279 he may have been shocked at the attempt on his life, 181 00:09:52.320 --> 00:09:55.240 but was cracking jokes about it later on in the day. Yesterday, 182 00:09:55.240 --> 00:09:58.639 in a post on his website truth Social, he thanked 183 00:09:58.639 --> 00:10:01.159 the Secret Service, he think law enforcement. He thanked the 184 00:10:01.200 --> 00:10:05.759 Palm Beach County Sheriff's office for keeping him safe. As 185 00:10:05.799 --> 00:10:09.879 far as the campaign, they haven't changed anything. 186 00:10:09.879 --> 00:10:12.039 They have not announced any changes to his schedule. 187 00:10:12.080 --> 00:10:14.480 He's supposed to appear on a live stream to introduce 188 00:10:14.519 --> 00:10:18.720 a new cryptocurrency business tonight. Tomorrow, He's going to hold 189 00:10:18.759 --> 00:10:22.039 a town hall event in Flint, Michigan. It's moderated by 190 00:10:22.240 --> 00:10:26.000 Governor Sarah huckeby Sanders of Arkanas. A rally planned Wednesday 191 00:10:26.519 --> 00:10:29.759 in Uniondale, New York. So it doesn't look like any 192 00:10:29.759 --> 00:10:32.159 of that's going to be changing necessarily. I just want 193 00:10:32.159 --> 00:10:34.600 to mention a quick poll that came out. I mean, 194 00:10:34.960 --> 00:10:36.399 it seems like every day you're going to get a 195 00:10:36.399 --> 00:10:41.000 couple of these, but there is a significant shift in 196 00:10:41.039 --> 00:10:43.480 the way things have been going In Iowa. A Des 197 00:10:43.480 --> 00:10:48.399 Moines Register poll shows that Trump leads Kamala Harris forty 198 00:10:48.440 --> 00:10:54.120 seven to forty three among likely Iowa voters. He Trump, 199 00:10:54.159 --> 00:10:58.840 that is, had an eighteen point lead over Biden back 200 00:10:58.879 --> 00:11:01.879 in late spring, and right now the lead over Harris 201 00:11:01.960 --> 00:11:03.480 is down to just four points. 202 00:11:03.879 --> 00:11:09.039 So no one's playing that interview that we played earlier 203 00:11:09.120 --> 00:11:13.600 in the show where she kind of has an air 204 00:11:14.360 --> 00:11:18.440 not kind of for me. It has definite condescension dripping 205 00:11:18.519 --> 00:11:21.200 with that quote about where I grew up and the 206 00:11:21.559 --> 00:11:24.559 people they pride in their lawns because that was like 207 00:11:24.600 --> 00:11:25.960 the best thing that they were going to be able 208 00:11:26.039 --> 00:11:28.720 to take care of and cultivate in their sad little lives. 209 00:11:28.799 --> 00:11:32.639 And nobody's playing that stuff. Where is that? 210 00:11:32.679 --> 00:11:35.000 Which is strange because there has been such a drum 211 00:11:35.000 --> 00:11:37.559 beat that she doesn't sit down for these interviews. Then 212 00:11:37.600 --> 00:11:39.799 she does, she sits down with Dana Bash. 213 00:11:39.639 --> 00:11:41.080 And nobody reports on it. 214 00:11:41.080 --> 00:11:41.879 It was just goof. 215 00:11:41.960 --> 00:11:46.879 It was lame, and no one, no one's calling her 216 00:11:47.120 --> 00:11:51.080 out on the lack of ability to put a sentence 217 00:11:51.120 --> 00:11:52.600 together without sounding insane. 218 00:11:53.279 --> 00:11:56.360 Well, it's not that she's sounding insane, it's just it's 219 00:11:56.399 --> 00:11:59.080 back to the word soup. Maybe she was just on 220 00:11:59.120 --> 00:12:01.960 it for the last six weeks or whatever, and now 221 00:12:02.000 --> 00:12:06.000 she's kind of letting up on the laser focused communication. 222 00:12:07.399 --> 00:12:10.360 I don't know and this Washington Post arc when we 223 00:12:10.399 --> 00:12:14.200 come back how parents are talking to their kids about 224 00:12:14.240 --> 00:12:14.720 the election. 225 00:12:14.960 --> 00:12:16.960 I thought we were going to do the story about 226 00:12:16.960 --> 00:12:20.039 my phone letting me smell and see what's on the 227 00:12:20.080 --> 00:12:23.120 other end of a call. That's terrifying. I don't want 228 00:12:23.159 --> 00:12:24.679 to smell who I'm talking to. 229 00:12:25.039 --> 00:12:26.440 We didn't get to this one. 230 00:12:27.279 --> 00:12:29.639 I know we didn't, but I also want to get 231 00:12:29.679 --> 00:12:32.240 to that one because I don't want to smell whoever 232 00:12:32.320 --> 00:12:36.039 I'm on the phone with. Probably you know what I mean. 233 00:12:36.120 --> 00:12:37.600 I mean, think about all the people you talk to 234 00:12:37.759 --> 00:12:39.919 on the phone. You want to smell all those people. 235 00:12:40.039 --> 00:12:43.240 That's a good point. You could probably turn it off. 236 00:12:43.519 --> 00:12:46.679 There's a couple people I wouldn't mind smelling easy, like 237 00:12:46.759 --> 00:12:49.720 my girlfriends. They smell great, smell like cookies. 238 00:12:49.799 --> 00:12:50.360 But I don't want to. 239 00:12:50.399 --> 00:12:52.480 You know, if I call the plumber, I don't want 240 00:12:52.480 --> 00:12:56.919 to smell what And plumbers don't smell as bad as you. 241 00:12:56.879 --> 00:12:57.240 Think they do. 242 00:12:57.399 --> 00:12:59.320 My brother's a plumber. He smells awful. 243 00:13:00.000 --> 00:13:02.960 Think about my cup noodles, not oh did you have one? 244 00:13:03.120 --> 00:13:05.679 Yeah? Hell, yeah I did, which was kind of funny 245 00:13:05.679 --> 00:13:10.279 because I got I got judged from who well from 246 00:13:10.320 --> 00:13:13.679 there's three there's three producers and management people who sit 247 00:13:13.720 --> 00:13:16.200 outside and guard that snack drawer. 248 00:13:16.399 --> 00:13:20.120 It's like management row and Oscar turs. 249 00:13:19.879 --> 00:13:22.399 Around and goes, oh, you are going to go over 250 00:13:22.399 --> 00:13:25.840 a cup of noodles? Oh was the third time in 251 00:13:25.919 --> 00:13:27.080 the snack drawer today? 252 00:13:27.960 --> 00:13:30.759 Wow, you are leaning on the snacks a little heavy. 253 00:13:31.080 --> 00:13:35.679 And Anne was like, who are you? So I got judged? 254 00:13:36.320 --> 00:13:39.000 Well, I'm sorry that I wasn't there to defend your honor, 255 00:13:39.240 --> 00:13:44.759 because a cup of noodles is really a truly American 256 00:13:46.120 --> 00:13:48.559 I got Italians. It was a decision that you made. 257 00:13:48.679 --> 00:13:51.240 It was not as salty as I remember them being. 258 00:13:51.519 --> 00:13:55.320 That's funny because when I had one last week, I 259 00:13:55.360 --> 00:13:59.120 thought it was super salty like I remembered it not being. 260 00:13:59.240 --> 00:14:02.759 So maybe our levels are just different. Do you have 261 00:14:02.879 --> 00:14:03.919 enough iron in your diet? 262 00:14:04.440 --> 00:14:08.559 Do I? I believe I do? Yes? Okay, why how 263 00:14:08.559 --> 00:14:09.120 do I ask? 264 00:14:09.399 --> 00:14:11.120 Have you made that doctor's appointment yet? 265 00:14:11.519 --> 00:14:11.639 No? 266 00:14:11.799 --> 00:14:13.919 I haven't made any doctor's appointments yet.

I have a 298 00:15:30.480 --> 00:15:32.480 problem with the way it's framed. And I have a 299 00:15:32.519 --> 00:15:34.720 problem with the people they chose to ask about this. 300 00:15:36.399 --> 00:15:38.759 So they said, they asked parents of young children to 301 00:15:38.799 --> 00:15:42.080 share their thoughts and then edited their responses. But it 302 00:15:42.120 --> 00:15:48.480 was basically about how young Americans, young people in this 303 00:15:48.559 --> 00:15:52.360 country ask questions about yard signs in their neighborhood, about 304 00:15:52.480 --> 00:15:55.399 the candidates they see on television, the comments they overhear 305 00:15:55.480 --> 00:16:00.519 at school, and they said, this is my face part. 306 00:16:00.679 --> 00:16:03.360 Others might not be aware that an election is happening 307 00:16:03.399 --> 00:16:07.639 at all. I know full ass grown adults who do 308 00:16:07.720 --> 00:16:12.720 not know who the president or vice president is. I 309 00:16:12.759 --> 00:16:15.519 mean that they would be unable to tell you some 310 00:16:15.600 --> 00:16:19.879 of the most basic, simple things about politics in this country, 311 00:16:21.000 --> 00:16:23.600 and they're part of me is like, well, that's awful. 312 00:16:23.639 --> 00:16:27.200 That's a bad place to be. But like we've kind 313 00:16:27.240 --> 00:16:29.679 of joked about these astronauts stuck in space. 314 00:16:30.320 --> 00:16:32.440 Hey, they don't have to deal with it. 315 00:16:33.000 --> 00:16:34.240 Oh, I'm so jealous. 316 00:16:34.600 --> 00:16:38.919 This article, written by Caitlin Gibson in The Washington Post 317 00:16:39.000 --> 00:16:42.279 says we've asked parents of young children to share their thoughts. 318 00:16:44.279 --> 00:16:46.799 One of the one of the peoples is I've got 319 00:16:46.879 --> 00:16:50.120 three kids. My eldest is in seventh grade, I've got 320 00:16:50.120 --> 00:16:51.480 twins in the fourth grade. 321 00:16:53.159 --> 00:16:53.720 Me and my. 322 00:16:54.360 --> 00:16:56.679 Spouse, we were heavily. 323 00:16:56.480 --> 00:17:00.600 In tune with what's going on in politics, and there's 324 00:17:00.720 --> 00:17:04.240 a lot of dialogue surrounding the overturning of Roe v. 325 00:17:04.400 --> 00:17:04.759 Wade. 326 00:17:05.240 --> 00:17:08.240 My seventh grader is acutely aware of what it means, 327 00:17:08.279 --> 00:17:12.160 but the nine year old's less. So what a nine 328 00:17:12.240 --> 00:17:17.920 year old knowing anything about Roe v Wade is troubling, 329 00:17:18.920 --> 00:17:20.799 let alone a twelve year old, well, a twelve year 330 00:17:20.799 --> 00:17:23.839 old that you're kind of dialed in junior high, you're 331 00:17:23.880 --> 00:17:27.359 going to start arting nine nine. And it sounds almost 332 00:17:27.440 --> 00:17:30.319 like she's woefully saying like, unfortunately the nine year olds 333 00:17:30.359 --> 00:17:33.440 can't talk to them about abortion yet. They haven't fully 334 00:17:33.480 --> 00:17:35.720 grasped the abortion debate my nine year olds. 335 00:17:36.759 --> 00:17:38.279 The other person they talk to. 336 00:17:40.359 --> 00:17:43.079 Says, I am a pro life speaker. I spoke at 337 00:17:43.079 --> 00:17:46.640 the National March for Life. Again, I'm throwing out your opinion. 338 00:17:46.799 --> 00:17:49.160 I'm not saying it's not valid, but when you have 339 00:17:49.240 --> 00:17:52.119 people that are so entrenched in politics, that's not who 340 00:17:52.119 --> 00:17:54.119 I'm going to to find out how much I should 341 00:17:54.160 --> 00:17:54.799 tell my kids. 342 00:17:54.960 --> 00:17:57.319 Right, there's another one. My wife and I have one child, 343 00:17:57.400 --> 00:18:02.920 he's almost two. Tried watching the presidential debate with my son. 344 00:18:03.240 --> 00:18:06.880 What What an awful parent, What an awful thing to 345 00:18:06.960 --> 00:18:10.720 think that your kid would have any interest in or 346 00:18:10.720 --> 00:18:12.759 were you just saying that you were in the same 347 00:18:12.839 --> 00:18:15.279 room with your kid and you flip the channel from 348 00:18:15.640 --> 00:18:17.839 Thomas the Tank Engine to the debate. 349 00:18:18.039 --> 00:18:21.960 I love Thomas the Tank and Percy Percy's my favorite. 350 00:18:22.000 --> 00:18:26.279 Percy was kind of a b what you. 351 00:18:26.359 --> 00:18:28.720 Watch your mouth wasn't either. 352 00:18:28.920 --> 00:18:30.359 The one that complained all the time? 353 00:18:34.279 --> 00:18:37.599 No, I know Kayu Kyu's that little Kaya's bald kid 354 00:18:37.599 --> 00:18:39.759 who is an awful, awful child. 355 00:18:42.000 --> 00:18:44.000 Sorry, what's a lot. 356 00:18:45.000 --> 00:18:49.200 Yeah, but if your kids ask questions about politics, answer them, 357 00:18:49.640 --> 00:18:54.279 but don't don't assume that you're that's that's gonna energize 358 00:18:54.319 --> 00:18:57.599 any amount of interest in your child, and in fact, 359 00:18:58.519 --> 00:19:01.039 the idea that they would want to be involved in 360 00:19:01.119 --> 00:19:04.200 politic there's one. It's one thing to say you want 361 00:19:04.200 --> 00:19:09.279 to get involved with serving your community, serving underprivileged people, 362 00:19:09.880 --> 00:19:13.960 serving in some way, service is an honorable thing to 363 00:19:13.960 --> 00:19:18.920 strive for. Service in politics brings with it a minefield 364 00:19:19.079 --> 00:19:21.960 of potential dangers, and that's where I would I would 365 00:19:22.119 --> 00:19:26.000 push my kids away. My daughter, twenty two years old, 366 00:19:26.559 --> 00:19:30.839 arguably one of the smartest people I've ever made, she said. 367 00:19:31.319 --> 00:19:33.400 The other day, she texted me and asked if there 368 00:19:33.400 --> 00:19:35.880 was anything she needed to know about the debate that 369 00:19:35.960 --> 00:19:38.359 happened because she didn't watch it because she was working. 370 00:19:38.799 --> 00:19:41.599 And I said, that's all you need to know. You 371 00:19:41.720 --> 00:19:44.400 were working. You have a life, you have other stuff 372 00:19:44.440 --> 00:19:47.640 going on.
