Does "they're starting" refer to "Sasha and Malia are starting"?

Context:

* “Now, Sasha and Malia aren’t here tonight because they’re grounded. You can’t just take Air Force One on a joyride to Manhattan. I don’t care whose kids you are. We’ve been settin’ some ground rules here. They’re starting to get a little carried away.”
* “Tomorrow is Mother’s Day. Happy Mother’s Day to all the mothers in the audience. I do have to say, though, that this is a tough holiday for Rahm Emanuel. Because he’s not used to saying the word ‘day’ after mother. That’s true.”
