Transcript
- 0:00Speaker 1: We got a question for American mamas. Dear mamas, Are
- 0:02Speaker 1: the Democrat senators and these confirmation hearings really that dumb
- 0:06Speaker 1: or is it just an act? Well, let's ask our
- 0:08Speaker 1: American mamas.
- 0:10Speaker 2: Mama, mama, and joining us now our American mamas Terry
- 0:24Speaker 2: Neddville and Kimberly Burlison.
- 0:26Speaker 1: You know, I gotta say, every single one that I've watched,
- 0:30Speaker 1: the appointee, the Donald Trump's appointee for these different cabinet
- 0:35Speaker 1: positions has really done a very good job. And it
- 0:39Speaker 1: doesn't really come across as if they've been scripted or coached.
- 0:43Speaker 1: It really just comes across more as they have authentic
- 0:46Speaker 1: knowledge and a worldview that's able to pierce through what
- 0:50Speaker 1: the Democrats are throwing at them. Am I just biased
- 0:52Speaker 1: on that or you think that's the truth.
- 0:55Speaker 3: I think everybody is seeing that in real time with
- 0:57Speaker 3: these hearings this they had. The Democrats have an optics problem.
- 1:02Speaker 3: It looks like a bunch of cringey Karens right now,
- 1:06Speaker 3: is how they look with all their screeching.
- 1:08Speaker 4: And they're talking about the female No I'm talking all
- 1:11Speaker 4: of them, even the men.
- 1:12Speaker 3: They sound just as bad. They sound very dumb. Very dumb.
- 1:17Speaker 3: And this is the first time I've ever watched I mean,
- 1:19Speaker 3: I've watched them before, but this is the first time
- 1:22Speaker 3: I was like, oh, that secondhand cringe feeling. I was
- 1:25Speaker 3: embarrassed for even the ones. I don't care if they
- 1:27Speaker 3: look embarrassed, but I felt bad for them because they
- 1:29Speaker 3: looked so stupid.
- 1:31Speaker 4: That is true. For the first time of my life,
- 1:33Speaker 4: I'm thinking I could one hundred percent a senator.
- 1:38Speaker 3: There's just no doubt about it.
- 1:39Speaker 4: I would have done a better job in the questioning.
- 1:42Speaker 1: But that actually gives you the other part of this
- 1:44Speaker 1: is that the people that are the nominees, it does
- 1:48Speaker 1: not feel like they've been coached. It does not feel
- 1:49Speaker 1: like they've been told you got to say this. And
- 1:52Speaker 1: yet it feels like every one of the Democrats that's
- 1:55Speaker 1: asking a question, they have.
- 1:56Speaker 4: All co informative yes. And you know, Megan Kelly was
- 2:04Speaker 4: there because she was supporting Pete Hegseeth. She was there,
- 2:07Speaker 4: so she's saying from behind, you could see, you know,
- 2:11Speaker 4: just a sea of all of these veterans that were
- 2:13Speaker 4: there in support.
- 2:14Speaker 3: And outside on their dons and what.
- 2:17Speaker 4: She also was able to see, she said, it was
- 2:19Speaker 4: like this, Yeah, she said, it was such a cringe
- 2:21Speaker 4: fest because in between, she said, it was like this
- 2:24Speaker 4: high school where the like the nerdy, like Tim Kine
- 2:27Speaker 4: went up to Elizabeth Warren saying you did a good job,
- 2:29Speaker 4: and she was like, you did a good job, Tim,
- 2:31Speaker 4: like high five, you did so good. She said, it
- 2:34Speaker 4: was so wild to see these these leaders, you know,
- 2:38Speaker 4: act like that, like what we did, what we said
- 2:41Speaker 4: we were going to do. You know that Samer pulled
- 2:43Speaker 4: them in the room. But we've already heard this, like
- 2:45Speaker 4: this is very important. You better do your job. But
- 2:48Speaker 4: it's so performative, it's so fake. Like you said, it's
- 2:51Speaker 4: as yes, it's authentic coming from the ones that are
- 2:55Speaker 4: trying to get into.
- 2:56Speaker 1: Pete heggsth was absolutely authentic. And by the way, I've
- 3:00Speaker 1: never heard that much laughter in a confirmation hearing as
- 3:04Speaker 1: I did at Pete Hegsath, and it was derisive laughter
- 3:06Speaker 1: by people in the galley at the senators in the die.
- 3:11Speaker 3: Like when Pocahontas was talking about the generals and.
- 3:14Speaker 4: He was like laugh and the guy beside Elizabeth did
- 3:19Speaker 4: his head like like he knew, but here's it, you know,
- 3:23Speaker 4: talking about Pete. It's so funny because the women were
- 3:26Speaker 4: screeching about you know, wait a minute, you're hurting our feelings.
- 3:31Speaker 4: You know, women can be in combat. And I was
- 3:34Speaker 4: talking to you know, I was talking to you, Susan Burrows.
- 3:37Speaker 4: So that's Coach Burrow's wife.
- 3:38Speaker 3: We were on the phone and and.
- 3:40Speaker 4: So she said something. I thought, oh god, that's so good.
- 3:43Speaker 4: I wish he would have said this. So there they're
- 3:45Speaker 4: so upset. They're like he they're acting like he's saying
- 3:48Speaker 4: that women don't belong in the military. Right, that's not
- 3:52Speaker 4: what he's saying. He's saying that he doesn't think the
- 3:54Speaker 4: standards of combat should be lowered for the women to
- 3:58Speaker 4: get into that serious that's like the front line stuff.
- 4:02Speaker 4: So she made this point. She said, my mom used
- 4:05Speaker 4: to say, you know, look at the human body. You
- 4:08Speaker 4: have two ears, you have a nose, you have your arms,
- 4:10Speaker 4: your legs, everything works in conjunction to make your human
- 4:14Speaker 4: body do what it's intended to do. So the ear
- 4:17Speaker 4: can't do what the leg does, the arm can't do
- 4:19Speaker 4: what the hip does. So her point was every single facet,
- 4:24Speaker 4: every single human that enters the military, man or woman,
- 4:27Speaker 4: they all have a part, integral part, valuable part. You
- 4:30Speaker 4: can't this part can't work unless this part works. So
- 4:33Speaker 4: her point was even if the women cannot, they're not
- 4:37Speaker 4: able to pass the standard to be in combat. There
- 4:39Speaker 4: are women who are smarter in the logistical stuff, the
- 4:42Speaker 4: technology and technological stuff. She was saying, every every single
- 4:47Speaker 4: part is important and they're only focusing on this because
- 4:50Speaker 4: it's their wan wag moment, right, you know. But he
- 4:53Speaker 4: I wish though, that Pete would have said, listen, I'm
- 4:56Speaker 4: not saying they shouldn't. They should. We need women. They're smart,
- 5:00Speaker 4: they're intuitive, they're able to think of things and do
- 5:02Speaker 4: things that we cannot as men.
- 5:04Speaker 1: Well, then we're not hitting our recruiting goals as it is, right,
- 5:06Speaker 1: why get rid of half the population.
- 5:08Speaker 4: That's right. I thought that was such a great point.
- 5:09Speaker 4: But I loved the way that Pete handled himself and
- 5:13Speaker 4: he took the firing. The firing squad was aimed right
- 5:16Speaker 4: at oh you right, and yet he was able to
- 5:18Speaker 4: with composure take up. But what drove me crazy is
- 5:22Speaker 4: when he was trying to say, look, these are illegitimate claims,
- 5:24Speaker 4: these are anonymous sources. They didn't want to hear that,
- 5:27Speaker 4: and so they would talk over him. But it backfired
- 5:30Speaker 4: because everyone's like, oh, they're all in love with him
- 5:32Speaker 4: and Pam Bondy, They're all in love with these great
- 5:35Speaker 4: looking I mean, the cabinet's going to look at the art,
- 5:39Speaker 4: look at the optics of that one little video of
- 5:41Speaker 4: all the women in the back like going off, cackling,
- 5:43Speaker 4: and he's sitting in the middle, his faces in the middle, like,
- 5:45Speaker 4: oh my gosh.
- 5:46Speaker 3: I think that was the worst thing that could have
- 5:47Speaker 3: happened for them, the ladies.
