The wheels on the bus go
ROUND AND ROUND,
ROUND AND ROUND.
THE WHEELS ON THE BUS GO ROUND AND ROUND
ALL THROUGH [screaming] THE TOWN.
OH, EXCEPT these socialists lied.
These buses are not free.
New York City Democratic Socialist Mayor Mondani and former President Barack Obama singing with those little preschoolers who were so cute yesterday.
In their first joint appearance as part of a push for free child care.
Joining us now, America's News Room co-anchor and The Five co-host Dana Perino.
Great to be here.
to talk about your book in a little bit.
So, let's not spend too much time on Mondani.
But yeah, he's not worth it.
He's not worth it.
[laughter] But all this free stuff, I thought we figured out nothing's really free.
I said so everything he's he's coming up against reality.
I I know I know that he's idealistic, right?
And I know that when you say free health care or free child care that for people who are struggling, child care is so expensive partly because of all the regulations that are put on child care that for example, in Washington D.C., I believe you had I don't know if they've changed this, but you had to have a 4-year degree to run a nursery school.
Yes.
That now you're cutting off all sorts of people.
Plus, if you are a parent and you're thinking, okay, I got to have this much for rent, I have to have this much for food, and then moms are saying, I would still like to have my career, but I I can't make the math work.
So, there if you say, okay, free child care, okay, well, where is it?
Oh, guess what? It's half it's 45 minutes across town.
So, now you're adding things to people.
Instead of figuring out a way to say, how can we solve this from a private sector perspective, they want to try to make it free.
It won't happen.
It will end in tears, and we'll be right back to where we were if they would have just worked with the private sector to figure out a better way.
Or talk to families.
You know what families want?
They want maybe a tax break to bring family members close like if you live within 5 miles of your of your mother or your aunt or your cousin, then they live close to you and maybe a tax break an extra tax break if a family member is taking care of your kid versus a stranger in a daycare.
There are so many family-friendly ideas, and by the way, J.D. Vance has been talking about this.
So, there is still some hope.
child care is the issue that I wanted to bring up at the presidential debate in September of when when was that?
Whenever I did that presidential debate with the Republican candidates, and I wanted to ask a child care question because I knew this issue was coming.
It didn't make the cut, but every day Ralph Giordano and he runs Fox Business, he and I are like, we called it.
We knew this was going to be an issue.
But yeah, I'll tell you what, the Republicans need to come up with more.
J.D. Vance is doing some, but the legislature, the Congress really could do more, especially on the tax breaks.
I'll tell you before we move on to your book what I think moms really want.
Mothers with babies and young children, they want to stay home.
Yes.
Make it easier and make it easier for them to stay home and they get back into the into the workforce if they want later on.
Kids need their moms at home.
Um uh Dana, let's talk about your book.
Okay, because first of all, I feel like you kind of lived this book.
A little maybe I I'm I'm dying to read it.
I'm dying to read it.
So, tell me about it and and the message that you want people to get across.
Okay, it's called Purple State, and basically it's about three young women going through a quarter-life crisis.
I did, right?
And I wrote the book Everything Will Be Okay, which was my self-help book for young women.
The bottom line is choosing to be loved is not a career-limiting decision.
That your plan is not necessarily going to work out, and in fact, when you hit age 25, 26, you start to realize, oh, it's not working.
Number three, I was very concerned about people being so worried about polarization in America.
I believed that we are much more neighborly, and Americans are Americans if you can get off social media and just meet people where they are.
So, these three young women take a wild chance.
They move to Wisconsin, a state you know well.
They move to a little town, I call it Cedar Falls.
Sounds like you were >> Democrats, okay?
That might be a surprise to people.
And they start working on the presidential campaign cuz they want to flip that purple state blue, and guess what happens along the way.
in love with the lumberjack.
Romance.
Yeah, they fall in love with the lumberjack.
It's not quite a lumberjack.
[laughter]
It's not quite a lumberjack.
But they're three great guys, and it's it's light on the politics.
I encourage people to wear their politics lightly.
Um but I loved writing it, and I feel like if you loved Everything Will Be Okay, you'll really love this.
So, is the message also prioritize your love life?
Well, yes, and and I know that a lot of moms and grandmas and grandpas, they want their young single women to be doing that.
Um I know in some ways it might be unrealistic.
There's a statistic that says 68% of people would never even consider dating somebody who voted differently than them.
Well, then you're cutting off all of these people.
Values are more about how do you want to raise your children?
How do you want to have a relationship with me?
What do you want to do to give back to our community, to our neighborhood, to our country?
Those are the values that really matter.
If if you at the end of the day one votes for uh Trump and one votes for Biden, oh well, I it doesn't matter in the end.
You actually spent time in Wisconsin.
I love Wisconsin.
I I love everyone I ever
