  Speaker 1: We got a question of for Eerckan mamas, dear mama's,
• 0:01
  Speaker 1: what do you think of Gene Simmons telling celebrities to
• 0:04
  Speaker 1: shut up? Well, let's ask our American mamas. Alma mama,
• 0:15
  Speaker 1: she said, And joining us now are American mama's Terry
• 0:21
  Speaker 1: Netteville and Kimberly Burla sin So. Gene Simmons from the
• 0:25
  Speaker 1: band Kiss, the super rock band you know, the worldwide
• 0:29
  Speaker 1: phenomenon from the nineteen seventies on. He is asked about politics,
• 0:34
  Speaker 1: he says, look, I don't think we should be talking
• 0:35
  Speaker 1: about politics. He's asked about what some other actors have
• 0:38
  Speaker 1: said about politics, and he says, look, you gotta shut up.
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: And he did call out some names of some specifical
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: celebrities and said, you guys got to stop talking.
• 0:47
  Speaker 2: Was he right on that?
• 0:48
  Speaker 1: Was he wrong on that?
• 0:49
  Speaker 2: Well, it's like we've said before, we don't care. We
• 0:53
  Speaker 2: don't care. They live in their own little world. Here's
• 0:56
  Speaker 2: one of his quotes that struck me. He said, people
• 0:59
  Speaker 2: in America work hard for their living and they don't
• 1:01
  Speaker 2: want to be lectured to by people who live in
• 1:03
  Speaker 2: mansions and drive rolls choices. He made it clear that
• 1:07
  Speaker 2: the stars aren't the resource that the average citizens are
• 1:09
  Speaker 2: looking to hear from when it comes to politics and
• 1:12
  Speaker 2: worldwide issues. He's absolutely correct. They don't. This is the
• 1:17
  Speaker 2: problem with Hollywood. They preach one thing, but they live
• 1:20
  Speaker 2: another way. They've preached about you know, carbon footprint, about
• 1:24
  Speaker 2: the you know the climate, which they don't know anything
• 1:27
  Speaker 2: about while they jet around the world and they buy
• 1:29
  Speaker 2: these fifty thousand dollars downs. They are not like us
• 1:32
  Speaker 2: take in illegal immigrants. You've got the homes everywhere you
• 1:36
  Speaker 2: take them in. So they live in this bubble and
• 1:39
  Speaker 2: they look down on us. Clearly, they look down on us,
• 1:42
  Speaker 2: and they think that we're the ones like every time
• 1:45
  Speaker 2: they get on a political contest or like the Globe,
• 1:49
  Speaker 2: the Globes Awards shows Globes, Yeah, glosters. Every time they
• 1:54
  Speaker 2: lecture us or they get up there like Robert de
• 1:57
  Speaker 2: Niro and say f Trump, it lessens their value to us.
• 2:01
  Speaker 2: We see that they have TDS, We see that they
• 2:03
  Speaker 2: don't know what they're talking about. They don't know the
• 2:05
  Speaker 2: common everyday may.
• 2:06
  Speaker 3: That's interesting that you say that, because I think that
• 2:08
  Speaker 3: they have become less celebrity. We always looked up to celebrities.
• 2:13
  Speaker 3: We bought the magazines we bought, the People magazine, everything,
• 2:15
  Speaker 3: we ilized them, and now I feel like there's such
• 2:18
  Speaker 3: a sense of less celebrity people. I don't know certain people,
• 2:22
  Speaker 3: I don't care about what they have to say, and
• 2:24
  Speaker 3: I think they'd done themselves a disservice in their own
• 2:27
  Speaker 3: industry by speaking out about politics.
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: You know, it's interest because I read an article earlier
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: today from Mickey Dolans. So, Mickey Dolan's was one of
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: the members of The Monkeys, you guys, yeah, hez right.
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: I'm a believer all that that they were a TV
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: show rock band from the nineteen sixties and legitimately came
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: a rock band with number one hits and stuff like this. Well,
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: Mickey Dolan's, who's now eighty, was asked about politics. He said,
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: I've never gotten into politics, not that I don't have
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: my own political opinions, but that has never been part
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: of what the Monkeys were. And we came up during
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: you know, Vietnam, We came up during this very political era,
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: he said, But we had to sign contracts with CBS
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: saying that we wouldn't get in politics, we wouldn't talk
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: about politics, And he said it was actually in our
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: theme song, So here, Hey, Hey, were the Monkeys was
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: the theme song, and it says we're too busy singing
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: to put anybody down. And he said that line was
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: a line he lived by, that his job was to
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: sing love that and not to put anybody down. I
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: thought that's an interesting way for Mickey Dolans. I mean,
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: he's in many ways he's saying the same things as
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: Gene Simmons. He's just not saying shut up.
• 3:32
  Speaker 3: YEA interesting.
• 3:33
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 3:33
  Speaker 3: I think about those on the right though, because there
• 3:35
  Speaker 3: are some conservative celebrities that I can literally count on
• 3:39
  Speaker 3: one hand, you know, whereas the left. I mean, the
• 3:41
  Speaker 3: celebrities on the left are just like in the masses.
• 3:43
  Speaker 3: But I think about that most of them have been blackballed.
• 3:47
  Speaker 3: So my support of them is because they don't have
• 3:49
  Speaker 3: any other support.
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: Gwen Stefan, Patricia Heaton, Kirk Cameron, James Woods.
• 3:55
  Speaker 3: Yes, oh yeah, great, great example, James Woods, Rob Snyder,
• 3:59
  Speaker 3: and so any support that they do have, it's because
• 4:01
  Speaker 3: conservatives we do rally around those people that we feel
• 4:04
  Speaker 3: have been thrown away. We will rally around you.
• 4:09
  Speaker 2: And that's a good point to make about the left
• 4:12
  Speaker 2: is doing themselves a disservice because there are a lot
• 4:14
  Speaker 2: of us who will not go support their movie. Here,
• 4:16
  Speaker 2: we will not go and give our money. We are
• 4:18
  Speaker 2: the ones I think about Oprah. I idolized her, and
• 4:23
  Speaker 2: I'm telling you what if she did any kind of
• 4:25
  Speaker 2: program anything, there's a lot of them that I will
• 4:28
  Speaker 2: not go see the movie. I will not support them.
• 4:30
  Speaker 2: I'm like, we help build you, not only put you
• 4:32
  Speaker 2: up there on a pedestal, but we built you, and
• 4:34
  Speaker 2: then you all you do is talk down to us.
• 4:37
  Speaker 2: I mean Oprah herself said, if you don't vote for
• 4:39
  Speaker 2: Kamala Harris will never have another you know, election cycle again,
• 4:44
  Speaker 2: Like he's going to be a dictator. Like they lie
• 4:46
  Speaker 2: so hard and we see there are true colors now.
• 4:50
  Speaker 2: I mean, it just kind of goes back to the
• 4:52
  Speaker 2: whole Ozmpic craze. They talked about body positivity for all
• 4:56
  Speaker 2: these years. The minute they get that, you know, that
• 4:58
  Speaker 2: little shot, they're gonna get it and get stick thin
• 5:01
  Speaker 2: and gaunt.
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: Lizzo.
• 5:03
  Speaker 2: Yeah, all of them, all of them. And it's like
• 5:05
  Speaker 2: they don't tell the truth, they don't live by what
• 5:07
  Speaker 2: they're saying. There's a reason why they're coming out against Republicans.
• 5:11
  Speaker 2: So hard, and especially Donald Trump is because they know
• 5:13
  Speaker 2: they've got secrets that are buried that they don't want
• 5:16
  Speaker 2: to come out. And whether they do or not, we
• 5:18
  Speaker 2: already see the true colors. They don't care about us.
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: Yeah, if Robert de Niro did another film ever, I
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: would have no desire to see, no desire. It doesn't
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: matter what it could be. Like he does the next
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: Star Wars. No, I'm not going to see it. It's
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: not gonna do the same way. If you like to
