"I'm more of a stay-at-home kind of guy." That kid gets me and gets himself and we're here for it
I'm like the girl at the bottom left who needs her phone all the time. I also used lay in bed and worry about death and the afterlife when I was younger than she is.
My nephew says he's "an indoor kid." I think they all got used to the quarantine and being at home all the time watching videos and playing video games and don't know how to adjust. With encouragement, we can get him to play outside a bit, but usually he's only going outside if another kid is going with him. He thinks the idea of summer camp is terrible, he'd rather be home in front of the computer than playing with kids his own age all day and that's not great.
My boy just didn’t wanna say he ain’t supporting Ezra in theaters HAHAHA
I only become one during Covid lol coming from gen z
hahah😄
"I don't really like talking about topics I don't really know about"
these kids are more wise than 99% of adults on the internet. 😭
The problem is that a lot of adults think they know or are vastly misinformed. They believe their feelings are justified and they know better and simply most are self-righteous.
This is not unique to kids.
Adults do this too, but they will generate strong emotional reactions and charged opinions BECAUSE they’re uncomfortable feeling like they don’t know about the thing.
The big emotional reactions and close-mindedness are a lot of times a result of being uncomfortable with admitting ignorance.
I just find it ironic because that’s what Taylor said for years when asked about her political opinion until around 2017 and 2018
Because those adults are just adult bodies filled with 5 years old personnalities, those kids are speaking their minds to Hasan who doesn't judge them

This is the most respectful conversation with kids that I've seen. Normally, the skit is to make jokes, but this is real. These kids are smart and insightful.
Yes!!!! That’s what I thought too! He held space for them to be intelligent and say what needed to be said!
Lol... This is very scripted
@@Qwami give these kids Emmys then.
@@Qwami scripting and getting child actors to convincingly give their lines would ACTUALLY BE HARDER than simply picking ideal real kids and editing it down to the right clips 🙄
Reminds me of something Russell Howard does on his show in the UK.
I've rarely seen anyone show children this much respect in how they speak to them.
He has done it before on patriot act .he is used to it
@Jazz Jensen You really need new friends and family then
@@VARMOT123 he's also a father, so that helps lol
Russell Howard does this for years in his show and it's an amazing thing to see
Watch his conversation with Desi teens. Fantastic!
"I don't really like talking about topics I don't know about"
Somebody give this kid a medal.
These kids sound more mature than a lot of grown people I know
High School teacher here, the average adult is actually dumber than the average kid.
@@joshwarrey3728 That's news to me. (pun intended)
I'd like to posit the argument that kids have always been smart. This is why I talk to kids like equals, not necessarily as adults, but don't talk down to kids of any age, try and approach them on their level. EDIT: I can't believe I forgot to add. I was one of those kids, and I'll tell you what these kids will hear from conservative voices, the same thing I did, "Oh, you're so naive, you'll understand when you're an adult". I guarantee you that's the Fox News take, simple kids with simple cute views. The reality is, these are nuanced views from smart kids, who society will try and dumb down at every turn.
They aren’t, the adults are just very immature
Yeah I was gonna say , these kids make some of the people I see in the comments sections seem even dumber
Adults really forget how intelligent and insightful children are. Yeah their brains are still growing but that doesn't mean they can't make meaningful contributions to major issues ESPECIALLY issues directly effecting and concerning them. Ask the kids what they think.
Exactly. kids arn't adults but kids tend to be way sharper and more perceptive then we give them credit for. And the hard part is: your kids will pick up on these issues that worry/excite/move their parents anyways. And if you don't talk to them about it they will draw their own conclusions with the limited experience they can muster without your guidance.
Absolutely
Lol, that’s an extremely optimistic view. Having taught children, some CAN be intelligent and insightful which is always delightful, but the truth is many, just like adults, really can be as dumb as rocks. The children they chose are the ones their teachers knew would be able to contribute to a segment like this.
@@GnomesRox As someone who also taught, I agree, but I would amend slightly to say they aren't really any worse than adults at either end
I say this so many times
As someone who used to be a teacher, I can tell you that we give a lot less credit to kids than they deserve. If you just talk to them like regular people. You will find that they have a lot of interesting things to say, and they know a lot more about what's going on in the world than you think.
The last point is especially true these days. Today's kids have instant access to the same information adults have and better tech savvy.
Then they get to high school and think they know everything and it is like talking to a wall sometimes. Being a teacher after Covid is so hard.
@@rhil4838 I hear that, and I just teach K-4. I have many 4th graders who don't want to listen to anything.
!!!
In my experience kids are smarter then most people think they are but still not as smart as _they_ think they are. Like they can understand some really complex things, but then think that because your not standing directly next to the snack cabinet, you wont notice them open it.
These kids are smarter and more articulate than your average fox host, it's wild.
No they are not they are future Fox host...Fox host are entertainers...theybe trolling 🤩🤣😇🙃
I'm sure they were selected specifically for that reason,. Most kids will either be clueless and shrug or echo the opinions of adults around them.
I think FUAX hosts are incentivized to sound like idiots
Maybe they can be the next fox hosts for the next gen now that we know the fox News hosts have been faking for 2.5 years 😅
The texts of the fox hosts were released. They are smart. They are just liars.
Thank you little blonde girl - you'll go far. People who are not willing to say "I don't know" never get to "I DO know". Never be afraid to admit you don't know things; that's the beginning of learning.
I think the culture forces people into the faking stage. Especially in Corp America, as an immigrant, I grew up in different culture and never had a problem saying No or I don't know to express honest opinions, but here, working in corporations, there's a motivation to fancy up, to not taking responsibilities but the credits.
💯
I'm big on that. If I'm in a conversation and someone says something I don't know the meaning I would be like "what does that mean'" no way will I act like I know something when I don't. Ain't no shame here.
I remember a phrase that my grandmother taught me that says " he who knows not and knows that he knows not is wise. But he who knows not and knows not that he knows not is a fool"
It was always a weird concept to me. I have always been fine with saying, "i don't know let me try to figure it out or ask someone who knows." I'd rather get to the honest truth than learn some BS.
Respect to Hasan for being serious with these kids and speaking to them like they count.
Yeah, for real. I wish they counted, but then again, they wouldn't all be so eloquent. And the Army would want to recruit them and everything, nah.
"Get off your phone, Dad. You need to maintain a better work-life balance." Quinn for the win lol
I have a feeling that time ⏲️ is coming down to 7 quinn🙊🙊🤐🤐🤐
Just give Hasan the show already; he's the most flexible host, he can do stuff in studio and it's entertaining just like he can go out and interview people of all ages and with different backgrounds and make it entertaining and insightful.
Yeah, I've been blown away by everything I've seen from him. If he doesn't get the show he deserves to do something FAR bigger, better and far reaching than TDS in recompense.
I'm waiting for Roy Wood Jr.
Yes please!
I agree, he's great. But I still prefer Sarah, tbh.
@@mucknog nah definitely not
What a lovely bunch of kids with a solid worldview, gentle mannerism, soft spoken, full of wisdom and without sounding precocious.
*Pretentious. Pretentious means they are full of themselves, and refuse to see your point of view by holding their view above yours.
'Precocious' is a positive trait to associate with children. It means they are adaptive and intuitive, and can understand complicated things before their age.
@@sagewilde6866 Oh yes! That is correct! Thanks for the clarification.
@@smk9320 beautiful job at taking constructive criticism. ❤️ it’s so refreshing to see that online. Much respect.
Well said..
And I hope that none of them ever get Twitter accounts.
These kids are more emotionally mature than I am at 40... The power of a healthy family environment jeez
@@user-il1sp7xt3m i am 23 and i feel same.
That kid bringing up work/life balance made my jaw drop. These kids be dropping facts and people think they're too young to know what they're talking about when they clearly do. Love these younger generations for breaking generational curses and doing things better than we did.
School plus homework is a solid workday.
Kids have access to better education and the internet. They are leaps and bounds farther ahead than previous generations… after Gen X, kids just got a lot more informed.
@@Buttercup697 they also obviously picked the smartest kids in this school. Theres some selection bias.
@@Buttercup697 Y'all gonna stop attacking GenX.🤨 We were actually the smartest generation, and we had to do it without help from the Internet since it didn't exist.😁
@@dr.braxygilkeycruises1460 Yeah you just had access to more books and tv media than any generation before you. Its the same thing just more advanced.
The fact that these kids, said they can separate the art/music from the artist, is so refreshing and still proves, twitter/social media is not real life.
The only problem with that is your still funding their bad behavior.
@@applesingleton5157 and not funding them will make them have a change of heart? Stop being vile? R Kelly still did what he did and Chocolate Factory is still a nice album. Why make myself suffer?
That's not being vile. I may (hard "may" depending on the situation) still listen to his cd if I already had it, but I wouldn't be going out purchasing anything else that would support him. It's not about their change of heart. It's about moral standards and self-control. But then again, that doesn't exist much in the world.
@@applesingleton5157 There are plenty of things to be truly angry and apply moral standards to, like people mining Cobalt with their bare hands to make our mobile devices or child labor to make our sneakers and stuff. Yet we spend most of the time fighting low-hanging fruit like musicians.
@@sonwabileantonie9825 I can be angry about more than one thing at the same time. I don't want to give my money to horrible people in media as well as try to protect human rights around the world. I have a much greater degree of control about one of those topics though.
These kids are wiser and more introspective than some adults. Enjoyed this segment
I would change some to many or most!
@@davidedwards7746 I second this, these kids gave me hope and made me want to be better. Im so proud of these kids, I hope they overcome life's BS and stay true to themselves
They ARE parroting their parents.
@@hew195050 not always man, I can tell you for sure I was doing the opposite of my parents cuz I despised them
@@hew195050 def not always the case. I couldn't tell you a single "belief" my parents had when I was a kid. They didn't talk about anything.
These kids today are interacting with information way, waaay more than my generation.
Being able to say you're sorry to your children when you're wrong is not making you their equal, it's showing them how to respect their humanness, and modeling how to take sccountability and not hide behind status.
Tbh my daughter's life is worth more than mine so we're not equal but I still have to discipline and make decisions for her until she's capable of making those decisions herself. I most certainly will apologize when I'm wrong but I will not apologize for disciplining her as necessary so she can be a proper respectable woman.
My parents could never lol
@@thagodwecreate5179 Why do you think your daughter's life is more valuable than your own?
This part. ❤
I would say it is raising them to be your equals.
I love that he knows there are studies to contradict that early bed time. He is Definitely the kid that does a full power point presentation to stay up until 9:30 to watch a tv show and I RESPECT IT!
I know right? I laughed so hard because that was such an excellent thing to say to justify going to bed 30 minutes later haha. Love that kid!
It depends on age. 7-9 hrs is the recommendation for adults. His is probably 9-12
@@ZemikianUchiha it's 8-10, definitely not 12
That kid's got a bright future ahead of him as a Formula One driver for Mercedes.
I know this was supposed to be satire and humorous but it's kinda enlightening that these young developing psyches seem to have more mature mental fortitude than most adults running the country. This should be a permanent part of the show and if course #HASSANFORHOST
I second that 👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿
Can't even spell his name right lol. It's Hasan
@@ckq Ha, so you are the "toxic' dude the kids were talking about. Always negative. sigh.
I don't think it was meant as satire. I think it was sincere.
This format of interviewing children on topical news is a direct copy of Russell Howard's program in the UK.
The fear of death part broke my heart. I remember when I was a kid and I used to hug my parents at night crying saying, “I don’t want you to die.” They would hug me and say, “That’s not going to happen for a long long time.” But these kids are afraid of their own death. That is pretty sad to me.
maybe with the school shootings it is in the back of their minds??? when i was their age i can't think back if we had those (maybe we did ) but with no 24/7 news and internet we didn't hear about it ???
They were raised on school shooting drills. Of course they're terrified of death. I agree, it's heartbreaking.
Yeah, that made me sad to think of kids so young (6th grade and maybe a few younger?) thinking so much about death.
Not just school shootings, maybe a random classmate getting a terminal illness diagnosis causes such thoughts to come to their minds.
@@melissabennett4328 makes you wonder about the kids raised during nuclear annihilation
I work with middle schoolers and we have complex conversations about the world on a daily basis. Politics, economics, social justice, etc. They are so much more in tune with the world than we think and not including them in conversations like this only sets them up for a confusing adulthood. Love this!
There's no such thing as "social justice".
@@X2LR8 That's because the corrupt people in power don't want justice to be around.
@@dandeluxe8731 Justice takes place in the court systems. I don't know of other places. Day to day life happens in other places.
@@X2LR8 Not even the court systems are immune to corruption.
Please don’t indoctrinate their small, malleable brains with your political views.
40 year teacher here. If parents don't listen or apologize when at fault, they reap what they sow from their children. Get off the phones and raise them in person.
My mother had an extremely hard time doing that and I have abandoned her.
@@SerialChiller1000 I understand. Why not tell her why?
I hope that you are able to read my comments above. I said something similar. You're so right. But as a parent, I was able to ask the weird and awkward questions too. For example, I would talk to my daughter when I picked her up from school when she was a sophomore in school and ask her if she had a boyfriend. She knew our rules about acting like adult if she wasn't ready. I was sure she respected herself and our family, so I was never worried. I just wanted her to know that cared. She would tell me enough not to worry. I had been taking and picking her up until we gave her our older car. She's about to graduate college soon, and we've been to joke around with other. And she knows that would risk my life to save hers. I pray that I've been the best father for her, because I've done my best, and she knows that. I just didn't want us to have any resentments if anything were to happen to either one of us. BTW, her mother just retired from being an elementary school teacher of 32 years.
"I don't know so I really don't have an opinion" THIS KID IS EVERYTHING
“Why are u having this nuanced perspective?”
“I guess that’s just my personality…”
I love these kids. They are awesome 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
I’d love for this to be some reoccurring segment. These kids were super insightful and showed greater understanding than we give credit for.
I think he did something like this before but with Desi kids
That's what I really thought and yes he did that kind of segment with Asian/ Indian descendants kids..
There is a British comedian who had a running bit where he interviewed children about current events. His name is Russel Howard. I know it’s not the same guy but it might fulfill your desire for more content like this.
He did this regularly on his show, this should be recurring! And people should listen!
💯
Hasan continues to be one of the most compelling hosts in television. Fabulous interview!
Quinn saying “get off your phone Dad, you need to maintain a better work/life balance!” was everything to me 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
MAKE HASAN PERMANENT
No
Comment under any guest lol
YES
@@Rayquaza894 why? I watched the black haired woman guest. Her jokes are fine, but too simplistic. I want more insightful content for Daily Show.
I think he's the perfect fit.
These kids are thoughtful and articulate, just loving hearing from them
They are stunningly cogent
@@noatreiman yeah...maybe even coached!
@@DarkPesco or maaaaaybe even... given an entire script! How about that! Crazy, right?!
As a group they are much smarter and better informed than most Trump MAGAts
Yeah, that girl saying her favorite books were about racial issues 😂 totally normal. The average kid spends most of the day thinking about social injustice lol
"I don't really like to talk about the topics that I don't really know about"
"That's refreshing"
So true. It's been a long time since I've seen such refreshing content on social media, with no hate and just respect
These kids are amazing. They have a different perspective.
This makes me smile. I’m a parent and there is nothing wrong with apologizing to the kids. That is showing kids what humility looks like. Parents are not always right…we are learning everyday just like our kids. We have to give each other grace.
Well done. 👍🏽
I wish my mom was like you ❤
Amen
Hard agree. I think it's absolutely necessary to have an honest and healthy relationship with anyone, especially your kids.
I was a preschool teacher and one kiddo who I apologized to, for having an outsized reaction about a lot of water going on the ground, looked so shocked when i apologized. Seriously, this just models its okay to be wrong, and how to appropriately apologize. We figured out a way together for her to keep playing her game (towels, mostly)
I’ve got to say, these kids express themselves way better than a lot of adults I’ve seen all over the internet.
💯
This really brightened up my day. I had lost faith in the world a long time ago, but seeing this video showed me that we have still have great young minds out there.
Same I saved this to a playlist to watch whenever I feel like that again.
Sadly they'll grow out of it. Or there aren't enough of them.
I've spent a lot of time caring for children, and I can tell you with confidence that these kids are representative of children today. There are so many smart, thoughtful children who are eager to learn about the big world. They just need support and guidance from the adults in their lives.
@@heidi3963 sadly a lot of high school and middle school boys are being rationalized by the likes of andre tate to be very terrible people. it wasn’t always like this :(
im happy to hear that mr potato. i felt the same.
This was probably the greatest segment from a late night show in recent history. We need more of that!
Colbert's Scary Movie based on his conversations with kids was pretty freaking funny. Came out in October. This is great too but if you enjoyed this you'll enjoy the scary movie lol
What a fantastic segment! I’m a teacher, and I think of myself as one who treats kids with respect. But this conversation had me realizing how much more I could be doing to let them share and to learn from them.
Thank you!! Yes! I'm so sick of people talking about kids and teens without talking to them or taking them seriously. I was reading the parenting advice book that the movie Mean Girls was based off and it dawned on me that the person who wrote the book was a trained psychologist who actually talked to teens and genuinely listened to what they had to say. And I think that's why it's the best high school movie ever made. It's based on observations, not assumptions.
So you agree that Mean Girls is one of the best teen movies of all time? 🙃
@@joshwarrey3728 what do you mean, is that even a topic up for debate?
Same way I feel about politicians making decisions for women & the decisions they make without a medical license.
@@FirestormX9 if you're a fan of Mean Girls you'd get the reference 🙃
my assumptions was based on a lot of observations as well: i observed how often they teased me and bully me throughout my grade school years, then do a 180 expecting me to forget about their transgressions. ergo, i assume everyone were like that: a-holes who were never loved by their parents.
Okay, give Hasan the job. He won me over.
Edit: And these children are wonderful. So well spoken and curious.
I agree with both points!!❤
Agreed !! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Having my first baby at 31. Been so terrified about how this society is going, and these kids just warm my heart knowing that kids are okay. I just have to keep up with technology lol
Exactly the same here. I’m also 31, I just had my first baby and I enjoy these videos because they restore my faith in the value of responsible parenting.
And put them in private school. I can bet none of these kids are in public.
The Daily Show is gonna make Netflix regret cancelling Patriot Act
I should think so! I certainly hope so!
YES!
100%
I was just thinking that 😊
i hope for that to come to fruition 😈
I love this segment because I can see Hasan show his strength in communication with people of any age.
“It’s really going to FICA you over” 😂
This was delightful and these kids are amazing
I hate that we get so caught up in being an adult that we forget how smart kids are. We were once kids and saw the world through those eyes at one time. This was so wholesome and a great reminder to actually talk to kids and not at them.
This ☝️
They are all wonderful!
Kids aren’t this smart tho. These are specifically picked really smart kids. 99% of kids would answer way different.
@@michaelcuneo5213totally shameful on your part, they are still kids at the end of the day.
@@michaelcuneo5213 A lot of kids have similar opinions as we see here because of the "collective intelligence" nature of kids. Some are just more articulate and self-confident than others to express it though
Every time people actually get the kids perspective on issues I breath a sigh of relief for our future
Me too..
I appreciate this conversation. It shows how much adults are bound by fears created from the bindings and anxieties in their lives, and how kids have waaaay more intelligence than adults ever give them credit for. I wish many adults never have forgotten the perspective of youth, or the decisiveness of applied courage.
I love it when kids get the chance to demonstrate that they're not idiots and can actually think rationally, more-so than many adults actually.
These kids are so knowledgeable. Love this interview
This is the best age to have conversations with kids. They're really aware of what's going on in the world and they are capable of complex thought processes, but they aren't so full of hormones that they're self conscious about what everyone around them might think about what they're saying or how they look. I honestly think that if we truly wanted to solve every world issue, we'd fill all the think tanks with 4th-6th graders. 🙂
This reminded me of Groucho Marx:
"Why a four-year-old child could understand this report. Run out and find me a four-year-old child. I can't make head nor tail out of it."
These kids were amazing, so thoughtful & mature at such young ages, their parents & teachers definitely deserve a ton of credit too.
As a newly minted adult, I remember being that middle school age not too long ago. I remember thinking how, even though in my eyes, the whole world was older than me, my mind was full of nuance and wonder. Insight that adults just couldn't seem to see. I talked about this with my close friends the other day and they said they had the same feeling. They never felt "incomplete" at that age, that WAS our world. I just hope to remember that feeling of personhood, of BEING a kid. Because I never want to become one of those adults who talks down or infantilizes kids just because they're young. I may not be a kid anymore, but I'm grateful for that feeling. I'm hyped to see the brilliant minds of Gen Alpha take on the world. Y'all are amazing, I can't wait to see the change you'll make!
So true.
Great comment!
you're gonna forget more and more what it was like to be a kid
but with your attitude you could remember a lot.
I hope you remember this when you become a parent
As a Millennial who's turning 30 this year, I will say you're likely to forget some of the nuances of those middle school years, but a lot of stuff will stick with you!
I will say maaaybe temper the thinking that some of the upcoming adults are going to quickly change the world, though. Just as a realistic thing. Like... young people as a demographic don't vote in super high numbers, and I'm sure if you're watching stuff like this, you're aware of how old most people in Congress are. It's been really disappointing for me, having been a politically active teen, and seeing throughout my 20's just how much of what's going on today is primarily the cause of the Gen X and Baby Boomer people still in charge with their sensibilities.
Just to pull some numbers: The only race+gender and age demographics that went >50% for Trump in the 2020 election were white men & women, and people age 50+. And that's enough to make it a nail-biter. Theoretically, we can suppose this means that over a long enough time span, as both the percentage of the population that's white decreases (as is the trend), and people age 50+ pass on, then we could start seeing some real change happen. ... Which is the same thing I was hoping for as a politically active teen, and still hasn't come to pass. So... yeah, progress and change will happen, it's just gonna be a looot slower than ya might initially think.
These kids are so smart and have nuggets of wisdom. They made their friends and families proud.
Jeez these kids are so insightful (especially the little blonde girl in the back. I hope she grows up to be president. Especially when she said she doesn't want to speak on subjects she's not fully educated on. That's literal wisdom.). I was not expecting some of these answers at all. We really should be involving children more in the conversations that are effecting their futures. I know they can't, and shouldn't, ultimately make all these huge decisions themselves but we at least should be giving them a chance to be heard. These fights that are taking place in school boards over subjects and books are affecting them more than us.
SHE won't be president in the man's world. Plus how do you know she even aspires to that? Let her hope and dream for her own future.
A while generation of “stay at home guys”
@Edward? I mean... Yeah? If any interview is done on a subject the interviewee knows nothing about or has no opinion on, isn't it always pretty blank? That's the whole point of interviews, is to talk about things the person knows, is it not?
@@edward7253Are you serious?
People that are saying they are only "parroting their parents" don't grasp just how much these kids are interacting with information on a daily basis..
As a father of an 11 year old 6th grader, I've found myself having to dig into information just to be able to answer questions he has asked me. I was a 90s kid, early 2000s teenager and my son gets more information in a single day than I did in the span of a few weeks at school..
Yeah, we're a far cry from the 80s when a kid regularly reading a newspaper was enough to brand them as some form of nerd savant.

Fantastic job, Hasan. You really know how to relate to kids... You made them feel respected and were able to speak comfortably.. Thanks for showing us how brilliant children are naturally when given an opportunity to be listened to by an adult.
I really like Hassan's relevant content and brave jokes. Hope he eventually gets a show.
This makes me want him to be the next host.
know of any openings?
I miss Patriot Act so much.
@@robertborland5083 we all do - it had more viewers than they think - just most of us watched it on youtube instead of netflix

I love how you talk to these kids! You don’t put them down, you respect their opinions, you let them speak and don’t judge. We all need to stop treating children like their opinions don’t matter and teaching them that they have no say in the world. Ugh love this video so much!!
Talking to kids is the best part of being a teacher. There is a lot to be optimistic about when you see the way young people think.
Honestly if you ever want to feel hopeful, talk to the babies!
Truth!
Though I must say it breaks my heart to work with students who live in circumstances that have fostered fatalism, poverty, gangs, violence.... It is a singular challenge to help a child like this regain hope and confidence.
Too many don't understand the value and rewards of giving time and resources to our young people. 💜📚✌️😎🍀
Agree. They kept me young and current, and reminded me of what was really important.
This is why kids are my favorite humans and we give them far too little credit for their intelligence and their insight. Why? Because so many forget what it was like to be a kid and they stop LISTENING to kids. So well done Hassan! Two enthusiastic thumbs up!!! 😊Make Hassan permanent. Looks like the kids felt very comfortable with him AND liked him. 😊
Be still my heart. Having discussions with students like this makes me miss being a social studies teacher. I have so much hope for this generation. They're moving mountains!
These kids are so awesome, and I'd love to see a regular segment like this each month. When they said they were afraid of death, I was taken aback, although it's understandable with all the school shootings, that it would sadly be something they think about. When I was a kid, I was afraid of monsters in my closet at bedtime.
@Edward You totally missed the point; these kids sadly think about their own death. That shouldn't be part of childhood. In response to your own words, one mass school shooting is acceptable each year, where I think the number should be zero. And finally, you are correct that I have not been in a school shooting because I haven't been in school for decades, and when I was in school, mass shootings in schools,or anywhere, were not a daily or weekly news item. It was two: Charles Manson and Jim Jones.
@Edward it's about 1-2 per day
@Edward In 2021, there were 249 school shootings. In the first 5 months of 2022 alone, there were 153 school shootings. Also, what does “legit mass shootings” mean? I’ll check on more updated numbers, but it’s only going to be higher than what’s already been mentioned. Also, you have no idea how many school shootings anyone here has been in, so don’t pretend that you do (as if that really matters anyway).
@Lyndi Idk why you even took the time to respond to @Edward. Smh, such a waste. Some people are not worthy of a reply
@Edward Wow! You really should channel all of those creative idea extrapolations into something like experimental writing.
Sources are easily found online with detailed statements and charts, but let's use the one that YOU actually pointed to: the CHDS.
I got my info elsewhere, but your source, strangely, says the very same thing: 2021: 249 school shootings. first 6 (sorry, I thought it was "up to June") months of 2022: 153 school shootings. The largest affiliations? They were a student ... most happened in school itself and school parking lots ... most happened in morning, followed by afternoon (as opposed to being at sporting events or after school, etc.) ... and they happened mostly from an escalation of dispute.
Statistics, eh? Tell me, where can I find those statistics online about those of us who have responded to this YT Video? I would like to see that, because I haven't been contacted by anyone (and it would seem to be a very quick gathering of statistics in just one day of surveying us here).
BTW: there have already been at least 62 school shootings so far this year.
and, I'll remind you that what we are talking about here is the fact that kids have to be mindful of the possibilities of gun danger regularly when they are at school.
There's a constant reminder all around them - especially with "security" and constant harassment, etc.
As a South African, Honestly, I never enjoyed TDS ever since Trevor Noah left. But Hasan brought that excitement and enjoyment back... Please keep him.😭
Trevor the gem of Africa, always love him. Hassan is the next best thing
Trevor was milktoast the best ever was him leaving.
I agree
Sorry, your loss was our gain.
Honestly I never really enjoyed T. Noah. Jon leaving left a massive hole in the show that still hasn't been filled, but Hasan has always consistently been funny, and relatable. He knows exactly how to present social politics and world events to anyone. Something Jon knew how to do, but Trevor fell short of. There is a line to draw between jokes, and critical narrative and Trevor found himself on the joke side of things far, far too often which just made him less and less funny as time went on.
Bravo Hasan for interviewing the children. So interesting.
These kids surely are the smartest kids in the school handpicked. The maturity and the nuance in their thoughts and words were amazing!
I bet the school only lets students with a certain criteria answer questions during this interview. It would be very interesting hearing the answers from kids who are at a disadvantage/or going through tragedy...
@@TheIncomparableGolfer very true. But we also don't know what these kids' life is like. But yes, upbringing and environment def matters a lot
@@TheTrippleTKA yah true we as spectators don't know what these kids life is like. But the producers of the video should know. Being more transparent goes a long way..
The girl that said she has no opinion and won't speak on something she doesn't know about showed more intelligence than almost every adult I've ever listened to. We need more of that.
@@TheIncomparableGolfer We also don't want to be advertising the personal issues of those kids to the whole world, y'know. I don't think they deserve that...
I love these kids. Mature and thoughtful. I guess the parents are raising them well.
The kids are so lovely. Masha'Allah 👏👏 Kudos to the parents for instilling decent human values. Kudos to the education system (incl. internet) for helping them express themselves in a clear way.
They are soo lovely true but sad that they are out of reality and the real world issues education system now a days manipulating them to believe in racial injustice, different pro nouns, in US and there is not as much as outside of the world, just see the video on UA-cam how LGBTQ's agenda get demolishes by Uganda parliament.
Hasan Minhaj is a natural, he is versatile in interviewing all people from all walks of life .
Hasan Minhaj permanent Host 💪💪
Sign a petition!
At 76 I am so cynical about our future. On one hand these kids give me hope. On the other, it depresses me thinking of what we are leaving them.🤷♀️
Such is life. We don't have control over everything. 🤷🏽♂️ But may be that's okay. Raise smart kids so that they'll navigate life competently and with less regrets.
I love this idea of hearing from the kids. I think this should be a permanent segment
Imagine being a teacher and having this bunch of kids in your classroom ... that's a dream come true!
Imagine you're the teachers who brought these kids this far. Remember, they weren't born this way...knowing this much and how to express themselves. I wonder how many of them went to public schools?
Did that guy just say "I'm just the type of stay-at-home type of guy?." That is soooo funny.
Loved that answer and the price of movies. Over the top !!! And home is safe for him
@@ginajones2328 people tend to be little rowdy as well when watching superhero movies
My nephew just turned 20 years old last week. I always thought adults should hear kids more, sometimes "lower" themselves a bit in order to understand their perspective, so I always tried to maintain the same level as him to understand, and to invite debate. However, there was always a part that he kept hidden, and I respected that.
I'm proud of the young man he is becoming, and hope he doesn't fall into fallacies and harmful ideas.
i wish i could see that, but all i remember is how cruel the kids were to me when i was their age... TT_TT
These kids are quite inspirational. Like I honestly believe that a lot of adults need to reawaken the inner child within them: this way they'll be less judgemental and more compassionate.
That's actually the best segment in this show this year, it has so much potential and it's so refreshing. Shoud be permanent and Hasan is great.
What a great group of kids! Thoughtful, intelligent, insightful and honest.
Kids these days… my daughter is this age and it amazes me how thoughtful her and her friends are. Everyone is going thru something even the younger ones. 😉
Dinner on sleepover days was always enlightening!
That means that you are a great parent! Great job!
These children give me hope. The education at school and home is producing lovely, thoughtful, considerate human beings. Carry on 🤸🏽♂️ 🖖🏼
This was great to watch. Hassan is a great interviewer and treated these kids with respect.
These kids are wonderful. Protect them at all costs!
The difference between other hosts and Hasan feels like others were here to tell a few quick jokes off the prompter while with Hasan it feels like he really wants to highlight issues and tell stories.
He definitely needs be the next host.
those are some well raised kids, bravo to the parents.
When the kid says he's afraid of death but also ghosts and spiders, I felt that
Pretty sad these kids are more informed than my 10th grade students 😂
😂
as a 10th grader, I concur.
Also, there was a history teacher at my middle school Mr. Rivera lol
Heck they are smarter and more informed than most "adult" Trump MAGAts
Just curious. Do you still try to impart some lessons to any of them? I have a kid in high school and there's a few teachers that are awesome and a few that have checked out.
Maybe you just don't ask the right questions
The parents of these kids have done an awesome job raising them. Although give the little guy a break 9:15 bedtime seems reasonable to me. They are so smart and weren't afraid to give their opinions even when they didn't have one. Still innocent and love the giggles. We need more stories like this. This country is their future.
like 5 seconds in to the kid's interviews I want to cry. This is one of the few types of experiences that makes me actually want to have children.
Just hang out with kids, it’s easier
@@kaylamom3 haha. they are complicated beings.
Exactly how I felt.
@@kaylamom3 ha, fair point, to be clear I like kids, the fear is more about raising children in this garbage situation we’re in, plus the enormous financial/emotional responsibility it requires in order to not mess them up.
Ughh these kids!!! Protect them at all costs give them a world of learning and growth. They are our future ❤️❤️
This piece was awesome. If Hasan has more gems like this in store for us, he's got my backing for the host chair over the rest.
I heard a lot more learning content from these kids than many grownups have said in a long time...
This reminds me how important it is to dedicate time to observing your surroundings. Those kids will go far if they keep focused. Great segment 👏
These kids are so well-spoken and insightful. It gives me hope for the future.
These kids are giving me hope! Maybe we won't be doomed, and gen alpha is going to bring back some humanity. Their insights, articulation, thoughtfulness in response is refreshing.
But it also makes me curious about the selection process for this panel.
All in all, great segment! I wish for every person to watch this and learn something from it.
They def picked the highly intelligent kids.
Yup that’s what they did. They are a lot of dumb generation alpha here in the south lol
@@thagodwecreate5179 Well tbf most kids at that age are not "dumb" at all and probably have similar opinions from what I've seen. These kids are just definitely better articulated and have a little more self-confidence than most others though
Gen alpha?
I love how most people don't like critical race theory but they don't even know what it is and in fact misrepresent what CRT teaches.
I know what it is and I hate it
@@perrychrispy1 Truth hurts, doesn't it?
@@billyboy1093 you have to prove a theory first to become fact
Not most a lot of people with brains are for it
Or that it a THEORY, like what Sigmund Fred's research is
These kids were informative, smarter than me even if I'm 38 years old, they spoke with confidence and intelligently. Nice show.
Awesome kids! The young boy said, that if a parent is stressed out, they should go to therapy! Would have never entered my mind! They are so knowledgeable, they didn't just repeat what their parents think.
“Will my cat eat my eyeballs” by Caitlin Doughty is a great book to learn more about death all the questions are sent in by children.
Loved this! I’m a teacher and had my 3rd graders last year write their opinion on if kids should be able to vote, and it was amazing!!!! They had great reasonings both for and against the idea and I loved it.
It's kind of heartbreaking that these young people are concerned about death. At their age, they shouldn't be worried about this, that shouldn't be a concern for them. I'm very impressed by their insight, intelligence, and ability to express themselves in such a mature manner. Hasan did an excellent job treating them with respect. Excellent segment.
Mortality IS. People experience family members, friends dying And have active shooter drills.
I think a lot of kids think about death, and not because of how violent things are, but because around that age you have a firmer grasp of what it is. I had those same questions about death around their age back in the 90's.
Kids think about life and death or other philosophical subjects all the time. It's very natural at that age.
clever: It's normal. At about age 7 I remember becoming aware that I was going to die, and I didn't like it. A friend of mine the same age said to me, spontaneously, "I don't want to die."
I listened to another guy, an old man with cancer who really was going to die, soon. He talked about the moment, as a child, when he woke up at night with the realization that he was going to die, and the threat when it happened, it would be NOW. He woke his brother up with his concern. His brother told him to go back to sleep. But when death really was approaching, he was pretty calm about it.
"But then kids and parents would be equal. We can't have that."
"We can't?"
👌👌👌
Equal should be more nuanced. I knew I was smarter than my mother since I was 11, but I'm still appreciating how wise my mother is at parenting and the value system she has built in me. Kids have the ability to understand and articulate certain ways at the moment, but the long-term effect on life truly takes life-long, and nobody can or should rush it, and it's up to the parents to decide how to raise their kids based on those long-term understandings.
Yes, that was appalling. It's really important that adults be able to apologize to their children when appropriate. I hope Hasan wakes up on that.
And, when the blonde girl said you're too old to be president when you are about to die any day or have dementia, I couldn't believe Hasan responded, "kind of like whatJoeseph R. Biden is going through right now." Biden is of course not perfect, but has a lot of wisdom and experience and has done an excellent job as president under extremely challenging circumstances. Yes, there was a quick flash of an ageism graphic, but sheesh!
@@JoyJonas the way he said it, I think the was just saying the "popular" opinion asking adults
Honestly these kids make me feel hopeful about the future.
The people raising these kids are doing a fantastic job!
