>> I’M SURPRISED THAT THERE
HASN’T BEEN A NATIONAL
CONVERSATION ABOUT THE DAMAGE
DONE TO KIDS BECAUSE OF THESE
SCHOOL CLOSURES AND THE VIRTUAL
LEARNING AND EVERYTHING.
WE CAN’T JUST PRETEND THAT FIFTH
GRADERS WHO ARE NOW 7th
GRADERS THAT THAT DIDN’T HAPPEN.
RACHEL: SO JAKE TAPPER SURPRISED
BY THE SILENCE OVER THE DAMAGES
AMERICAN STUDENTS SUFFERED FROM
SCHOOL SHUTDOWNS DURING THE
PANDEMIC.
IT IS A TOPIC OUR NEXT GUEST WAS
DEFINITELY NOT SILENT ABOUT.
JULIE BANDERAS AND JOE CONCHA,
TWO OF MY FAVORITE PEOPLE.
JULIE WHAT BUBBLE IS HE LIVING
IN WHAT?
>> FIRST OF ALL, JAKE, WELCOME
TO THE CONVERSATION BECAUSE
WE’VE BEEN HAVING A CONVERSATION
FOR TWO YEARS.
RACHEL: THANK YOU.
>> THE REASON HE DOES NOT
REALIZE THE NATIONAL
CONVERSATION IS ONGOING BECAUSE
REPUBLICANS HAVE BEEN SAYING
THIS SINCE THEY CLOSED THE
SCHOOLS IN THE FIRST PLACE.
DEMOCRATS WERE MORE CONCERNED
ABOUT VACCINE MANDATES AND
COVERING OUR KIDS FACES.
YOU REMEMBER HOW MUCH WE TALKED
ABOUT THE DETRIMENT TO THE
CHILDREN’S EDUCATION BUT NOT
JUST SOCIALOGICALLY,
PSYCHOLOGICALLY, CHILDREN
COULDN’T SEE OUR MOUTHS MOVED.
THAT IS ALL WE TALKED ABOUT.
RACHEL: THEY WERE BANNING
SMILES.
THEY WERE BUSY DOING THAT.
THERE IS ELITISM ABOUT THIS,
JOE.
IF YOUR KIDS WERE IN A PRIVATE
SCHOOL OR IF YOU WERE LUCKY
ENOUGH TO BE IN A CATHOLIC
SCHOOL OR ABLE TO TRANSFER YOUR
KIDS TO A CATHOLIC SCHOOL, YOU
DIDN’T EXPERIENCE THIS.
WHY DON’T WE SEE STUDIES ON THE
DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THAT?
WHERE PUBLIC SCHOOLKIDS ARE
VERSUS WHERE PRIVATE SCHOOLS?
>> JAKE TAPPER, THAT IS THE BEST
UNINTENTIONAL COMEDY I’VE EVER
SEEN.
IF ONLY WE HAD A NATIONAL
CONVERSATION.
I BELIEVE JAKE TAP HEARS A
NATIONAL PLATFORM.
CALLED A NETWORK SHOW PRY PRIME
TIME CNN HE COULD WALK INTO THE
PRESIDENT OF CNN SAYING WHY
DON’T WE HAVE A HUGE TOWN HALL
WITH TEACHERS, PARENTS, AND TALK
ABOUT THIS INSTEAD THIS GUY
MYOPICALLY STILL TO THIS DAY
FOCUSED ON DONALD TRUMP.
DONALD TRUMP HAS BEEN OUT OF
POWER FOR 21 MONTHS NOW.
THE STUDIES SHOW THIS HAS BEEN
SO DEVASTATING BUT ON A PERSONAL
LEVEL, WE BOTH HAVE KIDS.
I SAW IT.
MY KID WENT TO THE YMCA WHERE I
LIVE, RIGHT?
THAT IS NOT CONTROLLED BY THE
STATE.
HE WAS IN PRE-K.
HE NEVER MISSED A DAY IN SCHOOL.
MY DAUGHTER WAS HOME AND DID
REMOTE LEARNING.
I JUST FEEL LIKE WE’RE PLAYING
CATCH UP WHEN IT COMES TO MATH.
>> TOO LATE FOR MONDAY MORNING
QUARTERBACK ON THIS.
RACHEL: THANK YOU.
>> THAT IS UNFORTUNATE.
IT IS AT THE KIDS EXPENSE.
>> PEOPLE NEED TO BE HELD
ACCOUNTABLE.
PEOPLE ARE NOT HELD ACCOUNTABLE,
THEY WILL DO THIS AGAIN.
THE KIND OF CENSORSHIP, SOCIAL
CONTROL JAKE TAPPER WAS UNDER IN
HIS ELITE CIRCLES I THINK
ALLOWED THEM TO, AS YOU SAID HE
HAD THE NATIONAL PLATFORM TO DO
IT.
DIDN’T FEEL FREE TO DO IT,
BELIEVED FAUCI, WHATEVER IT IS.
>> I HAVE TO SAY ONE OTHER THING
THE LOW INCOME COMMUNITIES
SUFFERED THE MOST.
RACHEL: AMEN.
>> ALL THE KIDS IN PRIVATE
CATHOLIC SCHOOLS R MINE ARE.
I KNOW YOU, WE ALL HAVE CHILDREN
IN CERTAIN SCHOOLS BUT THERE ARE
LOW INCOME COMMUNITIES THAT
REALLY SUFFERED.
IT IS GOING TO TAKE YEARS, I
MEAN YEARS AND YEARS FOR THEM TO
CATCH UP.
RACHEL: THE CATHOLIC SCHOOLS,
MANY OF THEM WERE AFFORDABLE.
PEOPLE COULD GET IN THANK GOD.
THANK GOD FOR CATHOLIC SCHOOLS
FOR THAT.
THE ANSWER IS ATTACHED MONEY TO
THE CHILD.
WE HAVE TO, WE HAVE TO START
GIVING PARENTS THAT KIND OF
CONTROL.
>> YES.
>> ONE LAST SMALL POINT.
RACHEL: BEFORE I’M DONE.
>> INFLATION, CRIME, GAS PRICES
BORDER.
THOSE ARE THE BIG ISSUES GOING
INTO THE MIDTERMS.
EDUCATION IS WILD CARD.
THEY DID NOT FORGET.
WE SAW IT IN VIRGINIA.
THAT WILL AFFECT MANY STATE
RACE.
>> ABSOLUTE LIE.
RACHEL: I WANT TO GET TO JULIE’S
BOOK.
I LOVE YOU AS A FRIEND BUT I
LOVE YOU ARE PUTTING GOOD BOOKS
OUT INTO THE UNIVERSE BECAUSE IF
YOU GO TO BARNES & NOBLE, IF YOU
GO TO AMAZON, THEY’RE PUSHING
ALL THIS WOKE BABY STUFF, WOKE
BOOKS ON KIDS.
I THINK IT IS GREAT WHAT YOU’RE
DOING.
TELL US ABOUT YOUR BOOK.
>> SO I PARTNERED WITH BRAVE
BOOKS AS YOU KNOW, YOU HAVE READ
THE BOOK.
A CHRISTIAN CONSERVATIVE BOOK
PUBLISHING COMPANY.
ANTI-WOKE, PRO-AMERICAN,
TEACHING OUR CHILDREN OLD SCHOOL
VALUES, THE VALUES WE WERE
RAISED WITH, NOT THE VALUES AND
WOKE RHETORIC SHOVED DOWN OUR
KIDS THROATS.
UNFORTUNATELY SCHOOL DISTRICTS
BELIEVE THEY SHOULD HAVE MORE
AFTER SAY.
MY CHILD, MY CHOICE.
DOES THAT SOUND FAMILIAR.
MY BODY, MY CHOICE?
RACHEL: YES.
>> DOUBLE STANDARD HERE.
YOU CAN’T TELL ME HOW I WILL
PARENT MY CHILDREN.
I WILL PARENT MY KIDS.
IT IS ABOUT A LITTLE GIRL,
TEACHES PERSEVERANCE AS A THEME.
EVERY MONTH YOU SUBSCRIBE, IT
HAS A LOVELY MEANING, LOVELY
STORY.
RACHEL: I READ MANY OF THE
SERIES BOOKS WITH MY CHILDREN.
THEY EVER FANTASTIC.
NOT JUST THEY’RE ANTI-WOKE.
THEY’RE PRO FAMILY, DADS, JOE,
WHO ARE ACTUALLY PRESENT AND
STRONG REINFORCING FIGURES
INSIDE OF THE BOOK.
TELLING ME I HAVE TO GO.
>> YES.
RACHEL: ONE LAST WORD ON JULIE’S
BOOK.
>> WHY DO I GET THE FEELING
JULIE RUNS HER HOUSEHOLD.
>> I DO.
