appreciate that literature is science, psychology, history and philosophy combined. so thank you, renee and all the teachers who love and teach and encourage other people's children. and thank you for spending part of your sunday with us good night from south carolina. hello everyone. i'm dr nicole sapphire. along with molly line , tom shillue and charlie hurt and welcome to the big weekend show the big story tonight. it's fight night with former president trump at the ufc. cool. as you might expect for international fight week. a lot of people are in the building. but no one needs more security. the former president of the united states, and you can hear the crowd going crazy for trump . is he stranded into the arena

in las vegas? the mood was electric, one of the fighters who just won his fight, even jumping the cage to shake trump's hand and say hello, the former president, then pointing at famed podcaster comedian and ufc commentator joe rogan and walked over to him for another handshake and brief little chat. and before fight night, trump threw some jabs at his 2024 opponents. first florida governor grand a sentence then even president joe biden. so i don't i'm not a big fan of his, and he's highly overrated. he's highly operated. remember he's the one that wanted to cut social security. he's the one that wanted to raise the minimum age. the one thing you have to remember when a politician comes out with an initial plan, and then they go into a corner because they're getting killed because he's getting killed. we have a corrupt, incompetent leader in biden. we can't be kind anymore because that loves our off. the jar has been opened. he's totally compromise. well then chris christie, who was running against trump into santis for

the republican nomination, had to get in on the action, calling trump a three time loser on fox news sunday. meanwhile biden is basking in the glow of the media's ongoing praise. take a look and i think a lot of people do watch you and are impressed and they think you've been a great president. but many of these people do say and these are ardent supporters of yours. the next thing he should do is step aside and let another generation of democrats take the baton. why are they wrong? well let me put it wrong. it's a look. do you use the phrase again? i think we're at an inflection point. and i think i there is one thing that comes with age. if you're being honest about it your whole life and that is some wisdom. man if only all interviews were softball interviews like that, molly. so one of the things that we didn't show right there was that, zakaria said. you know, you're great president

you brought back the economy. he failed to mention the fact that the recent june jobs report had the lowest monthly gain since december 2020 or the fact that how many of these jobs got brought back is just part of a natural progression after a crisis like we had with covid, you know, while president biden doesn't seem to be hiding in the basement, if these are the only sit down interviews, he gets it. kind of feels still feels like he's hiding. president biden definitely not hiding. he's starting to get out there. and but i think if you're running for president, you're going to do it smart for your campaign, so he's picking the interviews that he wants to do, and they end up with results like this, and his team have have embraced the economy with biden nomics, and to some extent, it's about branding, which it always is in a campaign. and what else are you going to say? when you're 80 years old, you're going to say wisdom, which which has been done before we president reagan, of course, did a brilliant lay back when he was a mere whippersnapper at 73 years old in the debate in the 19 eighties, with walter mondale talking about age and experience and not taking advantage of your political opponents, so it's been done before, so not an unexpected

thing when it comes to chris christie kind of injecting himself into the fight. this was even looking back. historically chris christie lost to president trump when he ran in 2016 chris christie cayman was at six place in new hampshire and shortly after that left the race so it was president trump that defeated him then and president trump, who can sit continues to lead in the polls. and when president trump talks about the gloves being off, none of these republican gop candidates have yet been able to take to really get in a good whack and knock him out of that polling right now. well, tom molly makes a really good point there. first of all, i think chris christie got 7% in the new hampshire votes. he obviously didn't do well. that's why he didn't last very long. but he is coming out, calling the president trump three times. loser. take a lesson. since he's a three time loser, having lost in 2018 , the house of representatives lost the white house and the senate in 2020 2022. he wound up losing two more governorships, another seat in

the senate, and we barely won the house. if we want to lose the job, biden again and have an 82 year old joe biden in the white house. then let's nominate donald trump. you know , tom, one of the things when trump ran in 2020, he essentially ran on the economy and then having an untrustworthy opponent. he's kind of having the same message this time, but he's not really doing anything to expand beyond his base. do you agree with chris christie? is he doing enough to potentially beat biden in 2024? okay there's two parts of that. do you agree with christie? is he doing enough? the christie part? no, christie. it's not a wise strategy. most people on the right like trump. they like them. they don't think he's a three time loser. so kind of going that attack dog thing is not going to work. i think santa's isn't doing it right either. he's being very soft, and maybe he's biding his time . maybe he thinks people aren't paying attention. but at some point he's going to have to come up against president trump the messages i can win. he can't i haven't heard santa say that. that's kind of what

christie said at the end there, but the attack dog thing and calling him a loser and trying to be like trump. it's not really going to work because it seems a little bit false. you know, that's kind of trump's game. but i think to santos at some point has to has to spell it out, and he has to repeat it over and over. i can win. he can't that that would be if i were advising him. i would say that's your only message he's trying to run now, saying, like, you know, it's all about florida. you know, i'm very effective. i'm going to run against biden. you know, he's trying not to pay attention to trump take it to biden. maybe that's a strategy for now. i don't know what that is. i don't know what their timing is. but at some point he's gonna have to butt heads with president trump. he's gonna have to do it stronger and smarter than christie. because christie is a little sloppy with it. what certainly charlie, but here's the thing when it comes to primary elections. it's more of a population contest, right? you don't really get into the weeds of policy. truly until you get more to the general election. certainly people are going to change their voting up until the general election based on policy. the primary is a

population contest. and as we saw at the ufc, one of my popularity, not population, thank you. thank you. anyway so but at the end of the day, all you have to do is look at trump walking out at the ufc. i mean, biden would never get that kind of reception. no, he would not know and this is and that's why i think that this this footage right here is a perfect microcosm not only of how trump is doing now, but also how trump did in 2016. you know, ufc is not, you know, it's not wimbledon. it's not, you know, uh, nba basketball. it's sort of this sort of undercard. under current sport that took for a law. it's been around for a long time, but it took a long time before like it became mainstream, and they're like the mainstream media even noticed it and hear donald trump is the only politician that we know of who could walk into that arena and get that kind of reaction and the reason is and it and it's you know, it's real. it's a genuine enthusiasm for him. because

donald trump has become a sort of cultural icon. he and he and he has been for a long time. you know when, when he talks about how many rap songs he's in, and how many movies he's in. that's a really big deal. you know, the political press wants to poo poo that and act like it's not a big deal. actually that's the whole deal , and that's why they hate him so much because he doesn't need the press. he is a cultural icon, you know, with barack obama, who became sort of a cultural icon of sorts. it was a fake. it was a fake cultural icon. he was one manufactured by the press. trump earned it on his own. and he really is this, you know, bling guy that people love and people, and i think that many in the press are making the same mistake this time that they made six years ago now where they just thought. well there's no you know, we have such disdain for him. there's no way he can win . yes he can. he can win the nomination and he can win a general election. and you see it right here, while the

polling certainly is paralleling what we're seeing here at ufc, but you see the media right now they're they're kind of losing steam when it comes to the santis, and we put up some of these headlines recently. wall street journal. the sanders campaign stalls as he tries to court. trump's gop fans and foes alike political we are way behind top two santas pack official sounds alarm is there, molly? i'm going to come to you on this. is there a situation where the santis can actually get the nomination because he has to appeal to some of the far right voters to get from? trump's base. he has to show his more far right than trump is on some issues like corporate oversight, even abortion. but then he's going to lose the independence and the moderate. so is there. a waiting clinched the nomination? think their strategy right now seems to be that he is very authentic and to take a look at what he's accomplished in florida and argue that he can do this across the nation, and this is when he got that initial steam why he's become, to some extent , the guy that's getting all the attention other than trump , though he may lament some of these headlines that you're seeing in the mainstream media and the liberal press and also

his polling, he's the only one that's coming out of the single digits that most of the gop field remains in so he can express some frustration with that, but at the same time that goes back to the central story . that story that was told out of the midterms where florida was the big success, so i mean , in theory, he's gotta ride that. chris christie tom, i think you brought up a great point. his effort to go directly after trump, but he has said christie has said there's one lane in that one lane. donald trump's at the head of so if you want to be the nominee, you've got to go through donald trump. i don't think there's any other way to do it. so he's been kind of unapologetic about his efforts, so we'll see which way how that all ends up. sanders was asked about all of this this morning on sunday morning futures and this is what he had to say. yeah um, maria, these are narratives. the media does not want me to be the nominee. i think that's very, very clear why? because they know i'll beat biden. but even more importantly, they know i will actually deliver on all these

things. we will stop the invasion at the border will take on the drug cartels will curtail the administrative state will get spending under control. we'll do all the things that they don't want to see done. well the santis seems to have a lot on his agenda that he wants to get done. but whether or not he's going to get the votes and get the same sort of rise out of people like president trump comes, i don't know. i heard. i actually heard that it was a twitter spaces that steve cortes was talking on. it wasn't as grim as it all seemed. he was basically saying, hey, we're the underdog. just wait. we're going to come and get them. so i think the santis and he was doing that in that interview with maria as well. it was a great interview the way he was kind of basically saying, like you know, we're working behind the scenes were on the ground. we're building the a team and you know he knows it's not a year out. but when things are happening basically next january, it's going to really start to hit it. those early states, right, but i think the santis is right to make that message. a lot of people in the media they do want to boost

trump they democrats do want to run against trump. they think they have an easy win like charlie said. they may not be right about that. but the democrats do want to run against trump the media. they want that matchup with trump because the media lives off of trump so descended should keep stressing that the problem for descendants is, um he has a tremendous record. and if you're in florida, you love him. the problem is and you see it like every time he does an interview, he's kind of a nerd and conveying his tremendous record to people across the country is not an easy thing to do. whereas you got a guy like donald trump, and he is the opposite of a nerd. he's just like freebasing. popular politics and culture, and he goes out there and people connect to him, and it's a very natural until they were competitors. trump loved him, too. but we have to leave it there. coming up. forget breastfeeding. the cdc is now pushing chest feeding its wokeness gone. wild gender edition stay tuned.

.com. okay. welcome back to the big weekend show wokeness gone wild. the cdc releasing new guidance appearing to encourage

men identifying as the opposite sex to breastfeed. published right now on their website, quote, gender, transgender and non binary gendered. individuals may give birth and breast feed or feed at the chest. then there's this. portland is now telling city employees to avoid mentioning the term pregnant women to be more culturally conscious and on college campuses, the university of cincinnati deciding to take back its punishment on one of its professors. who failed a student for using the term biological women in an essay. this is what the professor told the student after giving her a zero on the paper. i was told that i was contributing to turf ideology, which should be the only version of feminism. and then i was told that sex is not defined at birth, and it's not like a science thing. the school is removing its reprimand from the professor's file, saying it was issued in

error. so how far will this all go across the pond in the united kingdom? it is now considered child abuse if parents don't pay for their kids gender transition surgery or refused to call their children by their preferred pronouns. that means family members could be prosecuted under the law. well charlie when you and i were in the green room, we chose straws, and i got the short one and had to talk about chest feeding. and you said i'm glad that worked me. i know. i said i'm not going well, look the this what do you what do you think of these? you don't have to do the top story. if you don't want to talk about it, you can go to the professor. i know. i really want to hear what the doctor has saved because this is going to be really fascinating. but i would like to say something now and then after she had something, okay, doctor. nicole sapphire. oh, he's waiting for me. first of all when people start talking about non binary, binary transgender and everything i get confused. i'm certain other people get concerned. so let's

break down what they're actually saying. the cdc has recently updated their website. to essentially say that people who are born a man if you identify as being a woman. you can try and breastfeed your babies and they're actually showing that there are protocols where a man will take anti testosterone hormones hormones. they'll take estrogen progesterone hormones to try and make their body more feminine and then to try and stimulate the mammary glands, which all men are born with. that is why men get breast cancer as well. 1% of all breast cancers actually happened in men. they try and stimulate that with certain medications. the most common one is one that's not even approved in the united states because of safety risks, and it does produce some milk in some people, and now they have about a handful or less than a handful of case reports showing that with this cocktail of medications that some men who considered themselves women have been producing milk now. only one actually reported enough milk to feed their baby for six weeks. the other ones

did not. but the big issue comes. what's the safety of all this? i mean, so if you scroll on that same web page, they say, can women with breast implants safely breastfeed their baby? the first line. there's just not enough research on whether they can safely do it or not. but yet women with breast implants have been breastfeeding their babies for decades. and how can you say there's not enough research? you have millions of women who have been doing this yet? when you go to that, they say, hey, can can these people now breastfeed the answer? it just starts out. yes they can forget the fact that the most common anti testosterone medication they take has a breastfeeding and pregnancy safety index of c, which means it is not indicated it is not safe. there's been no human safety trials and some of these other medications to help produce the breast milk. also there's zero safety data on it. how can you tell me this is safe? and who were? who who are we helping here? are we helping the dude who's confused or are we helping the child who needs to be fed running? a. you're

running a dairy farm and you're having dairy cat. your dairy cows are giving birth to calves . you're not going to put the cavs in with the bulls and call it a day your your entire herd. is going to die. i don't know why we're doing all this. we it's a problem. that's not. it is a non existent problem that doesn't need to be fixed and we're fixing it in order to satisfy people who are very confused and have problems. but what, but but if you're telling me that you have to give them medicine and chemicals in order for them to feel like they are chest feeding a child. i think you need to get one of those things that robert deniro gets in that movie. meet the fockers with with the you know get one of those molly can you milk meat? yes, yes. is that what do you think this is the time molly for the cdc to be doing this kind of stuff, don't they need to rebuild their reputation that they destroyed over the last three years? well it's funny when i was pregnant during the pandemic, and the

cdc had advised that you talked to your provider your own b g y n regarding getting the vaccine or not getting the vaccine, but they didn't take a hard stance and at least until after i had already given birth, so i was at one of those multitude of women across the country that didn't feel like the guidance was particularly straight on and went and talked to my ob g yn and we had a conversation. i ultimately decided to get the vaccine. but but i never felt like the guidance was clear until far later in which is kind of what i'm seeing here is the guidance doesn't seem to be particularly clear and defining of this in general, and having the conversation about it becomes so much more challenging. when you talk about what chest feeding is because it can quite literally mean different things to different people, and there are people who were born. female who live their lives as males who then might go on to try to breastfeed chest feed. and could potentially need some more mental help to get things started, and i have a lot of sympathy for people that have

challenged challenges with breastfeeding in general and support them the end straight ahead on the big weekend show, aoc reveals the one thing that she says surprises people the most about her. will you be surprised or nauseated? let's see next. don't let the sound of your own

i had not met with before. um they are surprised that i do my homework. you should have not get tripped up with that question, charlie. your thoughts? no she did not. you know, if only all politicians could get softball interviews like that they would be the sea . lovely and no, it's really extraordinary. she doesn't have to do her homework, or she can come off like she is doing her homework because she gets softball questions like that. i have never seen a politician in come to congress. who is more deeply beloved, with zero record whatsoever than aoc, and she milks it brilliantly. um i don't know exactly what her mission is. obviously she is a far left progressive and she was skeptical of joe biden. and she kind of bank right with by going with him because he's given the crazy left everything

that they want, and so she's sitting pretty with him right now. so i guess in that respect, she's kind of been successful a little bit, but but i don't i don't really think she's doing her homework . i think she just is trying to win her weird progressive fights. well, you know, it's funny. she's in a little bit of a pickle. she recently attended the or or rather when she had after attending the met gala and wearing this rather, you know, i think infamous dress where it's a tax the rich on the back of the dress. she got in some trouble there for attending accepting gifts. gratuities favors discount entertainment, that sort of thing. so she, like a lot of politicians has managed to dig the occasional hole for herself . but i want to take that kind of a broader look at some of her more non serious moments. i am an aspiring morning person. i want to be a morning person. i'll do my best to be a morning person can be a little bad when it comes to social media use. sometimes i'll check it right

after i wake up. okay there's this really false idea that if you care about makeup, or if you care if your interests are in beauty and fashion that that's somehow frivolous, but i actually think these are some of the most substantive decisions that we make. perhaps. you know, i think that perhaps to some extent, could this be politically affective for her, tom? well she's good at all the social media stuff some when i see her talking on the you know, on the floor when she's doing these committee, you know, question and answer. she's not as impressive as she is when she's doing makeup tips. she's good at these these little things, and i do subscribe to her instagram. so i get to see some of her her

tips. you know, we were makeup on on this show, so i need sometimes i need a little is that where you get all your adam shift? yes. yes i am to do adam schiff. i actually use my wife's makeup bag because, you know, i need this. stuff here, but the thing is, she's good at this kind of stuff. i don't begrudge her that i think in this day and age, that's why she's an effective politician. but you know, you can see she runs into trouble. when she gets it. she got that tax the rich dress. she didn't even pay for it. uh she's becoming rich herself, and so everybody knows she's a phony. but you know, whatever works for her, i think yeah, and she's been smashed by political competition. in the past. there was a video a while back. that was a pre video showing her as a younger woman dancing. they got a lot of flack and i think that was part of the response. but it seems like it backfires when people go after call her frivolous. well, you know what, i'll be honest. sometimes i think it's cute to see some of these videos. maybe not the makeup tips because she's acting more

like she's trying to aspire to be an influencer, but i do like seeing personality a little bit. but i will say that that answer when she was asked, walking along the river, you know what is something? you know something powerful that people just don't know about you and the only thing that she could come up with that i do my homework that says i am mediocre at best, and i will do the minimum possible. i'm going to show up for congressional hearings, and i'll have read the pamphlet that someone put together for me. that's what that says. i expect that out of her, but let's be honest. even cnn has called her out with a very wobbly relationship with facts. there's a 2019 article, which is early, says aoc has a really hard time when she speaks, she misquotes facts she misspoke about the keystone pipeline. her 2023 tiktok video , where she essentially made a tiktok account, saying we shouldn't be banning tiktok that's banning free speech, and she's completely negating the fact that there is a national security or an international security when it comes to tiktok that she doesn't really understand. and i think that unfortunately, that was a really pathetic answer, and people still love her. i think

she's going to be a great influencer when her congressional days are over, and that's about it when we do those walking talks from now on, i think that you should have to do a side shot. to show the cameraman walking with the £215 of camera equipment on his back backwards whenever they do those stupid walking talks. it's so phony and fake photographer does deserve all the credit. always always give them the credit. all right, coming up. the liberal media goes all in on sound of freedom connecting this hit film to right wing extremists. what that really tells you about the movie next to say, just don't left her number on my chair. accuweather. she played her first rain so much more now? other companies are charging you more and more for less and less. and we hate that! that's why force factor has partnered with walmart to provide amazing supplements at great prices for all americans. force factor products use clinically studied patented ingredients to powerfully improve your health.

>> woman: why did we choose safelite? we were loading our suv when... crack! safelite came right to us, and we could see exactly when they'd arrive with a replacement we could trust. that's service the way we want it. >> singers: ♪ safelite repair, safelite replace. ♪ code. mhm. i am. girl wow. come back to the big sunday show or the big weekend show. rather the sound of freedom is at the

top of the box office for another weekend. it's the true story of a former federal agent on a mission to save children from human trafficking. they make you feel giving a child his freedom. don't do it. you have been at this for 12 years. why are you doing it? just god's children are not for sale , but liberal media is trashing it as an alt right extremist propaganda cnn even accusing the filmmakers of fearmongering with fake facts. these films are created out of moral panics . they're created out of bogus statistics. there created out of fear and with something like sound of freedom. it's specifically is looking at qanon concepts of these child trafficking rings that are run by the high level elites. big facts, huh? molly so i decided to look at some of the facts.

so this movie. i haven't seen it yet, but i do plan to see it. essentially it is about talking about human trafficking and one person's effort to try and combat some of it. biden's d.o.j. has a fiscal budget of $101 million to combat human trafficking. in fact, they just signed legislation to expand that to another $14 million, with an estimate of about 1, million adults and children trafficked every single year. what are they talking about that this movie is about fake? effects so this is just the trafficking in persons report for june 2023 from our own department of state. it is real , which is why i'm confused about why this is the hill that any publication would want to die on or or even bring up. i do think the language used in some of these headlines is particularly telling they call the film qanon adjacent. they say there's a link and i think it's not so much that they're upset about qanon, but perhaps who the actor is linked to the actor christian, the catholic church, the studios, the same studio that created the chosen

the crowdfunding aspect of this that so many people that they might view as conservatives are interested in seeing this film , and in supporting this film, there is one particular he, uh the actor here has gone on it and podcast with steve bannon with the proprietor of mike lindell. streaming channel lind l t v, so i feel like they just don't like the circles that the people in the circle of the movie are in. i don't know that it's so much about anything more than that. so that would be my question. is that the case and not so much that there is any real link to any sort of extremism at all, charlie. first of all sounds like he's doing a media tour and that's what you do, charlie. i want jim caviezel, the star of the show, he actually there's an interview of him, and this is what he had to say from the ingraham angle this wednesday to take a listen just the scriptures phenomenal. i saw a movie taken years ago. and then this is a real story about

taken. and the it's a quintessential good versus evil , and there's want to protect the children and those that want to exploit the children, so it's good versus evil in our time right now, so many things that are happening. across the border where children are disappearing and whatnot and i looked at it and i thought of my own children, and would i defend with them where they defend them with my life? absolutely without ever giving the timbers that guy charlie jim brings up a really good point. he brings up that movie taken. i don't know if you saw liam neeson. it's also about human trafficking, and not only is there taken one, there's a taken to have taken three. and then there's an nbc series based off of taken because it was about human trafficking, and it's a real issue. why why all of a sudden? is this movie an issue? well, and of course you're exactly molly. exactly right. you know, this is a real issue. it's not just some made up moral panic, which is kind of interesting to listen to. e media claimed that that this is a result of some

fantasy. moral panic when you know they're always in support of the democrat party. every time the democrats come up with true made up moral panics like white supremacy is the most dangerous thing in america today, which is a complete and total lie. it is very real and it is and it's a situation that is getting far, far worse. and it is getting far far worse because people like the president biden and the media that support him are gladly opening up our borders wide open, the human smuggling has become our report, the washington times reported a year ago has become a $6 billion a year industry. these people, the human smugglers are making a fortune off of the policies that are been embraced by this white house that are supported by people like cnn and every single one of those is out publications that try to claim that this is some sort of right wing. conspiracy it's a

you know, it's it is real children are getting caught up in it. people are dying. people are being enslaved and raped because of this, and if these people want to make light of it and act like it doesn't exist, that's on them, tom. they're ignoring their ignoring human trafficking. but also they're attacking jim caviezel, who is a devout catholic. who is publicly anti abortion, pro life. i mean, what is this all about? and they don't like them. they did the same thing with passion of the christ came out. they attacked the movie they tried to, you know, downplayed before it came out, and it was a massive hit. this is a big hit if they want to talk about numbers $40 million already, and it's still racking up money, and it's from all from word of mouth. angel studios. totally independent. that's why hollywood doesn't like it. that's why the big players in the reviewers don't like it because it's totally out of the hollywood mainstream, and it's super successful. last week, it made more money per screen than indiana jones, which has everything behind it, so those numbers are incredible and very encouraging. well go out and

back to the big son. weekend show. when is it? alright alright, alright for your kids to get on social media, matthew mcconaughey and his wife decided to let their son start using it this year for his first his 15th birthday. so is that too young too old to log on? um you know my personal view about social media because it's all corrosive and is going to rot all of our brains. starting with mine. is that the best way to deal with kids is to give them lots of stuff. that's way more interesting than social media like hunting and fishing and anything to do with nature, baseball especially dangerous things. things that are like like illicit like, you know, like, like hunting exactly exactly anything, anything that's kind of scary. and then there's sort of less of an appetite for social media. but so you're a

doctor. you've devoted your life to you know, figuring out what's you know what's ailing us? um how bad is this for kids ? all right, well, i'm a doctor, but also a mother of three kids. and you know, i touched on social media and its health risks in my first book, make america healthy again, and that was years ago. ultimately when it comes to social media to another form of addiction that leads to a rise in mental illness and also promotes sedentary lifestyle and bad behaviors. but this is for kids . adults too. it's not just for kids. unfortunately, it is out there and it is really hard to not allow your children to be on it. at some point, there is no age where there's just going to be a switch, and you're like, you know what? that's a good age. now they can be on it. absolutely not. i think some 30 year olds shouldn't piano aoc. maybe she should be on it even less. but i'll be honest. i think it is okay to let your children beyond at 15 years old. i don't know the kid. is he responsible kid? the parents have oversight. are they checking it? are they making sure he's okay? and they're also restricting the

amount of time he has on it. like for us. we check our devices during the week. we focus on school, athletics, other things, and they have a very timed amount of electronic on the weekends and if they or if they do something wrong, bad grades bad attitude. that's the first to go and sitting down for dinner. every night is also a really where none of that goes on is also a really good thing. somali your kids are probably on the younger side to be doing their two and six. hallelujah they do not have social media, so they're not on tiktok's. and i was, you know, gen x go play outside. i heard that a lot. get out. come on in chuck's mr kool aid and move on with your day. i don't know what i'm what i'm going to do. i don't know what the right age is, i think, uh, dr nicole sapphire here had the right thought is do you know as the kid ready, and i don't know if it's an age thing, but i'm not there yet. thankfully tom, you're always turn to you for parenting advice. what about the idea of matthew mcconaughey deciding to sort of make a big pronouncement about the dangers of social media by posting a video on social media? yeah,

kind of a weird there it is true. i mean everyone to his kids page. all of a sudden he's going to have all these random followers. that is the key thing. i think that with social media, the rule should be social media should be like your social life. it should be like life. the same rules apply for kids says dad, can i go down the corner and play with my friends say yeah, go down the corner. you play with their friends. that's what that's great. but if your kids says dad, can i go down to the city park, stand on the bench and ask strangers if they like my outfit? no that that's not a good way to spend your time. and so if that's what they're doing, you know kids do use social media to talk to their friends. people were afraid when snapchat came out because it was, you know, the things disappear. years or whatever, but people. actually kids had a healthy or teens had a healthier ah relationship with snapchat than they did with instagram because the stuff disappeared and they weren't worrying about the way they looked and the number of likes that they were getting and things like that. so if it's just between your friends and

you notice that your kids are following their friends, and they're following them back instead of having thousands of people follow them, then it's probably okay. so a new poll shows that i think 54% of teens say that it would be really hard to give up social media. but i have to say from personal experience. i think that like each of my children has given up all of it at some point or another, mainly because they're just busy with cooler stuff to be doing more fun stuff to be doing, which, i guess is the kids who are addicted to in spending way too much time on the electronic. all you have to do is look at the parents. they probably have a very similar they're being they're being neglected. then that's what exactly all right. stick around. the big four is next. kiss me. i can't wait. 23 morning. we'll be salonpas lidocaine flex. a super thin, flexible patch with maximum otc strength lidocaine that contours to the body to relieve pain right where it hurts. and did we mention, it really, really sticks?
