Transcript
- 0:00Speaker 1: Your mama's, dear mama's, how do you feel about Trump
- 0:02Speaker 1: doing a parade on his birthday? Well, let's ask our
- 0:05Speaker 1: American mama's Alma Mama and joining us now are American
- 0:20Speaker 1: mama's Terry Edville and Kimberly Burlason. So there is going
- 0:23Speaker 1: to be a military parade on Donald Trump's birthday, which
- 0:26Speaker 1: also happens to be Flag Day. It also happens to
- 0:30Speaker 1: be the birthday of the United States Army. But there
- 0:33Speaker 1: are a lot of folks that are very mad about
- 0:35Speaker 1: the army giving itself a birthday parade on Donald Trump's birthday.
- 0:40Speaker 1: So what do y'all think about it?
- 0:41Speaker 2: I saw that I was actually, I don't even know,
- 0:43Speaker 2: probably CN in one of those like ranty shows, but
- 0:47Speaker 2: they were all going off. They thought this was all
- 0:49Speaker 2: about a show of his ego and he wants the
- 0:51Speaker 2: world just to see.
- 0:52Speaker 3: Of course, that's how they're going to know it's all ego.
- 0:54Speaker 2: But one thing that's interesting, recruitments are through.
- 0:57Speaker 1: The roof right now for the military.
- 0:59Speaker 2: The military, when they were down by ten thousand in
- 1:02Speaker 2: the Army under Biden, people did not want to be
- 1:06Speaker 2: in the military anymore.
- 1:07Speaker 1: And they've been meeting their military recruiting goals for all
- 1:11Speaker 1: the branches of the Armed services. Really, ever since January,
- 1:15Speaker 1: ever since Pete Hegseth took over's Secretary of the Department
- 1:18Speaker 1: of Defense, since Trump came into office, we've actually been
- 1:20Speaker 1: hitting our recruitment goals when we hadn't been since COVID.
- 1:23Speaker 2: Going over, going over. You know, one thing they say
- 1:27Speaker 2: about PARADEO is it stimulates the economy. You know, the restaurants,
- 1:30Speaker 2: the hotels, and so this is actually going to be
- 1:32Speaker 2: really good for business. But the main thing for me
- 1:36Speaker 2: is this stimulates patriotism. Yes, we need this pride. We
- 1:41Speaker 2: need our military to feel us being so proud of
- 1:45Speaker 2: them because we are so proud of them. They need
- 1:47Speaker 2: to be able to walk the streets while people are
- 1:49Speaker 2: waving their flags. We desperately need this in our country.
- 1:54Speaker 1: Well, and it's not just any birthday. It's the two
- 1:57Speaker 1: hundred and fiftieth birthday of the United States Army. This
- 1:59Speaker 1: is one things that I like about because you know,
- 2:01Speaker 1: I'm a history nerd, but this is the United States
- 2:05Speaker 1: military was created before the country was a country. A
- 2:09Speaker 1: year before the Continental Congress on June fourteenth, signed a
- 2:14Speaker 1: declaration creating the Continental Army and then naming George Washington
- 2:18Speaker 1: as the General of the Continental Army a full year
- 2:22Speaker 1: before we wrote the Declaration of Independence, because there was
- 2:25Speaker 1: fighting going on. There had already been Lexington and Concord,
- 2:27Speaker 1: there had already been fighting in Boston, and the military
- 2:31Speaker 1: was being built. So we're coming up on the two
- 2:34Speaker 1: hundred and fiftieth anniversary of the country. This is really
- 2:36Speaker 1: the first big two hundred and fiftieth anniversary of anything
- 2:39Speaker 1: for our country, and it's the Army's birthday.
- 2:43Speaker 3: And how fitting that it landed on his birthday.
- 2:46Speaker 2: This is I actually believed that indipitous.
- 2:48Speaker 3: Yes, had it not even landed on his birthday, he
- 2:51Speaker 3: would be having a parade for this. He's so in
- 2:56Speaker 3: love with America. He is so patriotic. He is so
- 2:59Speaker 3: grateful to any of these men and women that join
- 3:01Speaker 3: any armed forces that we have. He's made that so
- 3:04Speaker 3: abundantly clear. We have got pictures of him hugging the flag.
- 3:07Speaker 3: So this is really about America. Once again. It just
- 3:11Speaker 3: happened to land on's birthday. So they're going to do
- 3:12Speaker 3: a little side thing where it's you know, where they
- 3:14Speaker 3: celebrate him. But this parade would be happening. I think
- 3:18Speaker 3: he spoke about you know, in the last four years
- 3:21Speaker 3: on the fourth of July, we were all craving for
- 3:23Speaker 3: our president to do some sort of parade or anything
- 3:27Speaker 3: that would celebrate who we are and what we come
- 3:30Speaker 3: from and in this beautiful country, and we have not
- 3:33Speaker 3: had that.
- 3:34Speaker 2: We haven't.
- 3:34Speaker 3: They have absolutely done nothing to make people feel If anything,
- 3:38Speaker 3: they made you feel terrible if you had a flag
- 3:40Speaker 3: outside of your home. They made you feel terrible if
- 3:43Speaker 3: you had on a patriotic hat with a flag on it.
- 3:45Speaker 2: Exactly.
- 3:45Speaker 3: So now it's like Kimberly just said, we can be
- 3:48Speaker 3: proud again.
- 3:49Speaker 2: Fluxing our power is good for morale. Yes, it's good
- 3:53Speaker 2: for the World's good for the world.
- 3:56Speaker 3: Like we got you. We love us so much that
- 3:59Speaker 3: we're going to help you you.
- 4:01Speaker 1: You mentioned that this is his birthday and only president
- 4:05Speaker 1: born on Flag Day, and by the way, he was
- 4:07Speaker 1: born before Flag Day was declared Flag Day, so he's
- 4:12Speaker 1: technically older than Flag Day. But Flag Day was declared
- 4:14Speaker 1: on June fourteenth because it's the army's birthday. There have
- 4:18Speaker 1: been three presidents who died on July fourth, so you
- 4:22Speaker 1: had Thomas Jefferson and John Adams who died on the
- 4:25Speaker 1: fiftieth anniversary of the Decoration of Independence, and then you
- 4:28Speaker 1: had President James Monroe who died on the fifty fifth
- 4:31Speaker 1: anniversary of the signing of the Decoration of Independence.
- 4:34Speaker 2: Did not know that.
- 4:35Speaker 1: So there is there is that serendipitous thing, and that
- 4:39Speaker 1: probably I personally believe those men wanted to live until
- 4:42Speaker 1: July fourth. That they may have been in poor health
- 4:44Speaker 1: for a while, but they want to live until July fourth.
- 4:47Speaker 1: But there is that serendipitous thing that you've had presidents
- 4:49Speaker 1: who have passed away on July fourth, But he's the
- 4:52Speaker 1: only president born on Flag Day.
- 4:54Speaker 3: I think that's kind of very interesting.
- 4:56Speaker 1: Maybe, yeah, it's it is interesting. But again, as you
- 5:00Speaker 1: point out, he would have this parade, it's not about
- 5:03Speaker 1: his birthday.
- 5:04Speaker 3: It's about our country.
- 5:06Speaker 1: So why does the left only focus on him because.
- 5:08Speaker 3: They want to find a negative way to spin things
- 5:12Speaker 3: in a terrible light on him so that the people
- 5:15Speaker 3: that the few viewers that they have left can hear
- 5:18Speaker 3: this and hate him even more and say, gosh, look
- 5:20Speaker 3: at that narcissist, look at that egomaniac. They never ever
- 5:24Speaker 3: will give him kudos for anything and all it does
- 5:27Speaker 3: all it does. This is when I say, once again,
- 5:29Speaker 3: thank you God Elon Musk bought Twitter, because now we
- 5:33Speaker 3: can see the full picture, and they look petty, they
- 5:36Speaker 3: look petulant, they look silly and sad and clownish. So yeah,
- 5:40Speaker 3: say whatever you want to say, but we see it now.
- 5:42Speaker 2: We will be celebrating, Yes, for sure, we will be
- 5:45Speaker 2: actually here on American Ground ready.
- 5:46Speaker 1: We'll talk more about that coming up in the next
- 5:48Speaker 1: couple of weeks. If you like to ask our American
