migrants arriving each month. i don t see an ending to this. this issue will destroy new york city, destroy new york city. we re getting 10,000 migrants a month. every community in this city is going to be impacted. the city we knew we re about to lose. dana: eric adams is frustrated with the zero support from the biden administration and looks like he want it is both ways by also pointing a finger at texas. go item for item on what eric adams ran on as a candidate and look at what we ve accomplished in 20 months. we turned this city around in 20 months and then what happened? started with a madman down in texas decided he wa wanted to bs people up to new york city. dana: the first day of school in new york city and the cloops are swamped with some 21,000 non-english speaking migrant children and biden department of education says it s on the schools. define teachers that can communicate and they kick in the ed if you re british. that sounds goods. goods. adams wanted
One of the most pervasive ideas in our culture is that comedy is either "punching up" (taking aim at the rich and powerful) or "punching down" (making jokes about people less privileged in some way than the comedian). For many, punching up is acceptable, but everyone from Dave Chappelle to Bill Burr to Jerry Seinfeld has been condemned by various segments of the too-online crowd for "punching down."
the favorability improved and others improved a bit as well. as we mentioned ramaswamy and doug burgum and others and donald trump went down about five points here. but could this turn things around for nikki haley? it is hard to see this debate having that much impact when the front-runner who has half of the republican electorate sewn up isn t even on the stage. she had a good night. mike pence had a good night. they said what they wanted to say. and i would put nikki haley in that category. but, again, they re all punching up at a guy very few people have heard of before and this is the person who sees this his fight for relevance in this primary is to co-opt trumpism and the race and other things and to exalt trump and say i will do trump better just in a younger more diverse personification of that. that is a tractive to people. some people are criticizing him
and there is an issue there, which is sort of notjust to do with what you re bringing up about race, but which is in general. it s quite complicated because it comes back to what i was saying about comedy being allowed to be notjust nice. and i think that s what you see a lot is when people decide, well, this is cruel and mean or punching up or punching down, you have to find a way of feeling that empathy while still allowing to talk about the truth of human existence, which will involve sometimes cruelty and shallowness and not necessarily being empathetic, because everyone has humanity, right? everyone has humanity. so, if i do a joke about donald trump, donald trump is a human being. it might seem like a bizarre idea, but he is, so therefore it s punching up, so that s fine. but still, i sometimes think if you were really to apply the notion of empathy, you might end up saying, i will never do a joke, because all of those people, everyone has an inner life. in the course of that a
humanity, right? everyone has humanity. so, if i do a joke about donald trump, donald trump is a human being. it might seem like a bizarre idea, but he is, so therefore it s punching up, so that s fine. but still, i sometimes think, if you were really to apply the notion of empathy, you might end up saying, i will never do a joke, because all of those people, everyone has an inner life. in the course of that answer, you alluded to the fact that obviously over years you ve married, you ve had kids. and what i also find fascinating about you, and you say it again quite openly, you don t have much of a filter. your instinct is always to be very direct and very honest about what s in your head and what s going on in your life. and you do actually talk quite a lot about your family and you ve done various shows, one of which was very specifically about the complexities of your own family background, and this one, you tell some very funny and affectionate stories which involve your teenage
