Back to Ignorance · Let's Ask the Mamas!

  We got a question for our American mamas. Dear mama's, if you had
• 0:02
  the choice, would you rather go back to a time when ignorance was bliss
• 0:05
  with regard to politics, or would you rather know what you know now and
• 0:08
  know what you're up against even though it feels chaotic, scary and messy.
• 0:11
  Well, let's ask our American mama's Alma and joining us now our American mamas,
• 0:28
  Terry, Netteville and Kimberly Burleson. Terry, I'm going to start with
• 0:32
  you simply because I've seen your journey longer. I mean, I've known Kim
• 0:37
  Kimberly for almost as long as Terry. I guess because we met when we
• 0:41
  were still doing the show over on the other side. But I've just spent
• 0:44
  so much more time with Terry, and I've seen your journey longer. When
• 0:47
  we started this show six some odd years ago, man, you did not
• 0:52
  want to talk about politics. You weren't want to anybody I didn't want to.
• 0:57
  I don't even think there was a lot of the times. I think
• 0:59
  there's we just weren't even reading about politics when it came on the news.
• 1:03
  It wasn't the topic that you'd watch on the news as much, and that
• 1:07
  change for you. We've talked about your journey. It does stress you out
• 1:11
  at times talking about the politics and seeing what's going on. It makes sure
• 1:15
  that's what stresses me out, is seeing what's happening to our country. Would
• 1:19
  you rather go back and be ignorant of what's going on in politics? Or
• 1:23
  would you rather be knowledgeable about what's going on in politics? And yet at
• 1:26
  times I rate about it. The answer is be I'd rather know about it
• 1:33
  because now I know what I'm up against, I know what to fight for.
• 1:36
  Of course, ignorance was bliss, especially during the Obama years. I
• 1:40
  didn't know what was going on behind the scenes. I just truly believe growing
• 1:44
  up that all of our governmental our government leaders had our best interest in heart.
• 1:49
  They loved America, they loved Americans. They wanted us to dominate,
• 1:53
  they wanted us to be number one, and they were going to do everything
• 1:56
  to help the economy and help each person. And so I just believe that
• 2:00
  me too. The problem is that's not what's happening. So underneath the surface,
• 2:06
  there was some diabolical things happening, and now we know. And so
• 2:09
  I'm at this place where yes, it doesn't feel good. It's scary.
• 2:15
  Sometimes I can't believe what's happening to the country. But if I had to
• 2:17
  choose, yes, I want to know what's going on. I want transparency
• 2:22
  because I know what I'm up against. I know what I'm fighting for now,
• 2:24
  and this is not about me as much as it's about the future of
• 2:29
  this country, my grandchildren. Do you remember when Still I was having a
• 2:32
  conversation with Terry Sun Steele and it was during the riots. It was during
• 2:37
  the whole BLM thing, when just everything's being burned to the ground. Horrible.
• 2:40
  Yeah, and Still said, I just want peace. I just want
• 2:45
  Biden to win so we can have some peace. I just want this to
• 2:49
  be over with. Well, he wanted Trump to win, but he said,
• 2:53
  if Biden does win, at least we won't have to deal with this
• 2:57
  chaos every day on the news, right, And here we are, here,
• 3:00
  we are with the chaos. Yeah, it's even worse, like,
• 3:04
  not only do we have a leader in his administration that's allowing us to see
• 3:08
  how crooked they are. Every single day he lies, he's a pathological liar,
• 3:14
  but he is insulting our intelligence. And so I would like to ask
• 3:20
  Steal, how do you feel? How does this would you rather? You
• 3:23
  know, go back to the chaos of twenty twenty and just know we're going
• 3:28
  to fight. Because you and I talked about this, Kimberly, people are
• 3:30
  rising up. This generation is rising up against this stuff. I agree,
• 3:34
  we feel a pulse. There's something that's happening underneath the surface. There's a
• 3:38
  trembling on the earth. We are revolting against this. I feel like it's
• 3:43
  crucial too that we give our youth some hope. I saw I mean,
• 3:46
  can I just read this? I saw this just today. It's my belief
• 3:51
  that any pain and hardship felt the storm is a sacrifice to the ones who
• 3:54
  needed awakening until we all you need unite for a peaceful revolution, and we
• 4:00
  will feel more pain. God is merciful and the meek will withstand the hard
• 4:05
  times and in the end, inherit the earth. You'll like the way this
• 4:10
  movie ends, The Silent War continues, Kimberly. I want to ask you
• 4:15
  about this because Terry can tell you she's lost friends being on this show.
• 4:18
  Yeah, over the years, and you know that. I mean, you
• 4:21
  guys talk every day. It's okay. I don't have many friends, I
• 4:26
  think, But you're stepping in to this role now, you're coming onto this
• 4:30
  show. You're talking about politics in a way that you haven't necessarily before,
• 4:35
  in a more public way than you ever have before. Your eyes are not
• 4:40
  going to be closed sitting here where you are right now. How does that
• 4:44
  make you feel? I feel a sense of purpose. I have felt very
• 4:49
  strongly, especially during the Trump administration. I kept my mouth shut because I
• 4:54
  was so afraid of people feeling offended or not liking what I had to say.
• 4:59
  But I'm slowly wanted in our country crumble, and I cannot be silent
• 5:02
  anymore. So it's a little bit scary, but it's also empowering. And
• 5:11
  I'm assuming you guys have talked about this even before this question came up,
• 5:15
  even before you decided to come on air. We've talked about it, We've
• 5:17
  prayed about it. We have as a family. This has been a huge
• 5:21
  discussion, and we believe we are arm in arm and doing what we must
• 5:27
  do. Yeah, we're in lockstep. It's because there is like she just
• 5:30
  said, we feel there's a higher purpose to it, and so if we
• 5:33
  can use our voice to represent who we feel is a silent majority in this
• 5:38
  country. Yes, we're going to do it. Yes, and we'll travel
• 5:41
  wherever we need to go, and we'll give, we'll lean, we'll lead
• 5:45
  in with our voice. We'll lend our voice to these people who don't feel
• 5:48
  like they have a place to do it. You know a platform if you
