- 0:00Speaker 1: We got a question for American mama's. Dear mama's, are
- 0:03Speaker 1: you surprised by Bill Cassidy losing his re election to
- 0:05Speaker 1: the Senate.
- 0:06Speaker 2: Well, let's ask our American mama's.
- 0:10Speaker 3: Mama, mama, she said, and joining us now our American mamas,
- 0:22Speaker 3: Terneedeville and Kimberly Burlison.
- 0:24Speaker 1: Okay. So, over the weekend, Louisiana held its first closed
- 0:27Speaker 1: party primary for Senate elections, I guess in like three
- 0:31Speaker 1: decades on like at four decades, and Senator Bill Cassidy
- 0:35Speaker 1: came in third among four Republicans. He did beat one
- 0:38Speaker 1: guy who only got two percent of the vote. Cassidy
- 0:40Speaker 1: got what twenty five percent, State Treasurer John Fleming got
- 0:44Speaker 1: twenty seven and then Congresswoman Julia Letlow got about forty
- 0:47Speaker 1: five and she had been endorsed by President Trump, not
- 0:52Speaker 1: the sitting Cassidy. Are you guys surprised by any of
- 0:55Speaker 1: that outcome?
- 0:55Speaker 2: Oh not at all, not at all, not for a minute.
- 0:58Speaker 2: I think that me, me included, we wanted him out
- 1:03Speaker 2: the day he got actually the day that Trump was
- 1:05Speaker 2: elected in that first term, because remember, you know this
- 1:08Speaker 2: is a six year term, right, So Bill Cassidy used
- 1:13Speaker 2: Trump to get elected. He flew Trump flew here and
- 1:16Speaker 2: helped him campaign twice.
- 1:18Speaker 1: He did. And you're in the twenty We had all of.
- 1:20Speaker 2: Us conservatives believing that he stood by Trump and the
- 1:24Speaker 2: values of you know, conservatives.
- 1:27Speaker 1: Yeah, we went to we you and I and Denise
- 1:31Speaker 1: and Lewis. We went to rallies Trump rallies, one in Monroe, Louisiana,
- 1:35Speaker 1: one in Boser City, Louisiana with President Trump and not
- 1:39Speaker 1: then speaker wasn't speaker, It's just Congressman Mike Johnson, Steve's
- 1:42Speaker 1: Calice was there, like you had Senator John Kennedy and
- 1:45Speaker 1: Bill Cassidy and Trump was Yeah, he was their campaigning
- 1:48Speaker 1: for him, get this guy elected.
- 1:50Speaker 2: And here's one thing that that conservatives, true conservatives, don't
- 1:55Speaker 2: like rhinos. We discovered very very quickly that he was
- 1:59Speaker 2: an I know, I'm sorry to tell I'm sorry to
- 2:02Speaker 2: say this because I know he is from my home
- 2:04Speaker 2: state and there are people that love him. But every
- 2:06Speaker 2: single conservative person that I talked to after that, because
- 2:10Speaker 2: Denise and I went, we went to some women's meetings,
- 2:13Speaker 2: every single one of them felt so betrayed by him
- 2:16Speaker 2: because he said what he wanted us to hear when
- 2:19Speaker 2: we would go and rally for him and tell people, yes,
- 2:22Speaker 2: vote for Bill Cassidy. He lied as soon as Trump
- 2:26Speaker 2: was elected, he was one of the first, one of
- 2:29Speaker 2: the first that said, hey, you know, get him out,
- 2:31Speaker 2: you know, when Pence went ahead and voted.
- 2:34Speaker 1: So this was to confirm the election. The twenty twenty elections,
- 2:38Speaker 1: Donald Trump was saying, hey, there's a lot of voting
- 2:40Speaker 1: your regularities. And then you had January sixth and then
- 2:43Speaker 1: the impeachment, and Bill Cassidy was one of what four
- 2:48Speaker 1: six senators who voted to convict President Trump in the Senate. Now,
- 2:53Speaker 1: fortunately they didn't get their way, they didn't get the
- 2:56Speaker 1: two thirds they needed, but he voted to convict.
- 3:00Speaker 2: And if he followed Bill Cassidy, he also gave trouble
- 3:04Speaker 2: to Tulci Gabbard, all of these people that Trump was
- 3:07Speaker 2: trying to get appointed to his cabinet, and they were
- 3:09Speaker 2: going to be grilled. You know, Bill Cassidy, you would
- 3:12Speaker 2: have thought he was a Democrat. He did not seem
- 3:15Speaker 2: to lean into and look if he is secretly, and
- 3:19Speaker 2: what we've discovered recently is there are a lot of
- 3:21Speaker 2: people that are Democrats that run as Republicans because they
- 3:24Speaker 2: know that when they get in there. It's kind of
- 3:26Speaker 2: like Mayor Perkins here in Shreveport a few years ago.
- 3:28Speaker 2: He got all of us conservatives believing that he truly
- 3:31Speaker 2: was down the middle and he was going to vote
- 3:33Speaker 2: our conscience, and then as soon as he got in
- 3:36Speaker 2: he did some terrible things and he's out, and allah,
- 3:38Speaker 2: Bill Cassidy's the same way he lied, and now we
- 3:41Speaker 2: saw that, so we want him out. As soon as
- 3:44Speaker 2: we recognized that he was not one of us, he
- 3:47Speaker 2: was not going to represent us. Whenever we elect you,
- 3:50Speaker 2: we want you simply to represent us, represent our feeling.
- 3:54Speaker 2: None of us wanted that, and he completely completely ignored
- 3:58Speaker 2: our wishes and ham Trump put him down. This is
- 4:01Speaker 2: after he had Trump come on the trail with him
- 4:04Speaker 2: and help him get elected. So it's just one of
- 4:07Speaker 2: those things where you live and you learn. And Bill
- 4:09Speaker 2: Cassidy will never, I hope never ever ever represent our
- 4:13Speaker 2: state ever again as a Republican.
- 4:16Speaker 1: I think it's going to certainly be hard for him
- 4:18Speaker 1: to do so because that was a that was a
- 4:20Speaker 1: thrashing for a sitting senator. You'll only get twenty five
- 4:23Speaker 1: percent of the vote over in Texas. John Cornyn's having
- 4:25Speaker 1: difficulty getting re elected too. But in the in the
- 4:29Speaker 1: three way primary over in Texas, he was at least
- 4:34Speaker 1: I think he was in first, but he didn't get
- 4:37Speaker 1: over fifty percent, but he was at least, you know,
- 4:39Speaker 1: up there, and Bill Cassidy to not even break thirty percent,
- 4:45Speaker 1: that's that's a real problem.
- 4:47Speaker 2: Well, and if you notice, it's kind of the same
- 4:49Speaker 2: thing with Mike Pence. Anytime Bill Cassidy would put something
- 4:52Speaker 2: out on X anytime there was a statement that he
- 4:55Speaker 2: put out if you look at the comment section, because
- 4:58Speaker 2: you know, you've got conservatives follow conservatives, every single one
- 5:01Speaker 2: of them. The same thing with Mike Pence, like you're
- 5:05Speaker 2: a trader, get out. We don't want you, we don't
- 5:07Speaker 2: want your vote, we don't want your voice, you don't
- 5:09Speaker 2: speak for us. When he grilled all of these incredible
- 5:13Speaker 2: conservatives that were wanting to become part of the cabinet,
- 5:15Speaker 2: I was watching that thinking, why does it he just
- 5:19Speaker 2: run as a Democrat. He's acting like them. It's almost
- 5:21Speaker 2: like he wanted to be like at the table with
- 5:23Speaker 2: the Democrats. He wanted to be a cool kid with
- 5:25Speaker 2: the dims. You know, in the cafeteria. It was so
- 5:28Speaker 2: strange because he did not his voice did not reflect us.
- 5:32Speaker 1: And when I asked him what's the difference between him
- 5:34Speaker 1: and the former Democrats Center from Louisiana and mary Landrew,
- 5:37Speaker 1: he didn't. He didn't really like that question, but I
- 5:39Speaker 1: did ask him that what you say, Oh, I'm very
- 5:41Speaker 1: different than mary Lander. If you like Tusker American Moment's Question,
