"

I started writing this book...it's the Dean's List...Fox News Radio came to me many years ago and said, we need some...content for Fox News Radio in between commercials, between shows...something that's about a minute long. Do you have any ideas for us? And I'm a radio gal. I started out in radio. And I just thought, oh, the Dean's List, a minute long, good news story that I did on Fox News Radio.

And when my editor, Eric Nelson from HarperCollins came to me after Mostly Sunny...he said, do you have another book? You know, what do you think? And I told him about the Dean's List. I said, you know, I only get a minute to talk about these good news stories, but I know that there's way more to dig into when it comes to some of these amazing people that I'm featuring.

And he said, great. It sounds like a chicken soup for the soul type of book. Remember that book a few years ago? Gosh, it must be 10 or 15 years ago. Yeah. And it was a huge success.

And so I started writing it before the pandemic and then the pandemic happened and I was writing most of it during the pandemic...it got me through the darkest moments of the pandemic. It was a book I feel that was meant to be written not only for people to read about these wonderful individuals, but for my own sanity, for my own self-care.

It's, it's a book about kindness and...and shedding light on these wonderful people that really...they are the epitome of humanity.

It was written to highlight the increase in sexual assault and violence against women in Europe by men primarily from Muslim-majority countries, specifically in certain neighborhoods.

"

The Prey are women. The predators are men. In this case, the predators are immigrant men. They come mostly from Muslim majority countries.

The cover of the book tells you some of these women are covered from head to toe. Some of them are teenagers. Some of them are as old as in their seventies and people are having a hard time talking about it.

The point of the book is not to demonize Muslim men, not all Muslim men guilty of or engage in sexual misconduct. A lot of Muslim men are really respectful of women.

The book says about 3 million people arrived illegally in Europe since 2009, says the majority of whom have applied for asylum. Roughly half of those in 2015 and two thirds of those are male, two thirds.

In places like England, Wales, Denmark, Sweden, after 2015, you just saw the numbers started to shoot up. That they've doubled, you say, they've doubled the number of sexual violence incidents in three years in some of these places.

"

You wrote a book in 2018 on tribalism called Political Tribes, Group Instinct and the Fate of Nations, which was prescient.

And it not only obviously we were in the middle of the Trump administration then, but it foresaw where things would go, including the challenging of electoral results.

And like that, here we are.

So you accurately diagnosed, I think, what is happening to the United States right now, right before he was elected, during his term and now in 2020.

And I want to talk to you about how we got here and where we go from here, because it doesn't sound too promising.

And there's this insane line in the novel where the wife is talking to the husband when he's telling her about this idea. And she says, "Isn't this so small? Isn't this enough?" And he said, "Whether it's small or large, it will still cost us our life if anyone finds out."

"

How the news media taught us to love censorship and hate journalism.

I would just say I look at the narrative, the way I define it as a storyline that some political or corporate interest usually wants furthered on the news or now on social media and online.

They use PR firms, crisis management firms, LLCs, political action committees, global law firms.

But they're overwhelmed even at places like the New York Times and CNN and the Washington Post by these narratives.

They figure out how to impact the newsroom, whether by pulling strings at the corporate level or using social media to controversialize a certain topic or reporter, but they figure out how to shape the news in this sort of indirect way.
