  We got a question for American mama's. Dear mamas, what's the big deal
• 0:02
  with the dress code and the Senate? I mean, why are conservatives so
• 0:04
  upset over what Senator Fetterman decides to wear. Let's ask our American mama,
• 0:08
  Mama, Mama, and joining us now our American mama's Terry Netterville and Kimberly
• 0:24
  Burlison. Today Senator John Fetterman went onto the floor of the Senate wearing sneakers
• 0:32
  and very loose basketball shorts and a T shirt. He didn't have his hoodie
• 0:37
  on. He had he must have been a hot day, had a T
• 0:39
  shirt and he just kind of strolled. Now he doesn't have the the the
• 0:44
  goatee anymore, but now he does have a mustache. So's he shaved the
• 0:49
  bottom of the lip and kept the top. But anyway, that's that's how
• 0:51
  he walked onto this in a Florida. First of all, I don't know
• 0:54
  if that's really him, call me a conspiracy theorist, but something some than
• 1:00
  is off the proportionsman. Not only that, y'all, but it's weird how
• 1:06
  that whole episode happened. He left for quote unquote where youhab he comes back,
• 1:11
  he looks different. His family moves out of the country, never to
• 1:15
  be seen or heard from again. Yeah, his wife from it's been around
• 1:19
  very much. There's a lot of stuff about doesn't that doesn't add up.
• 1:23
  So why did we change the rules for the entire Senate because one guy doesn't
• 1:29
  like putting on a suit? Because that's what Democrats do. They don't like
• 1:32
  following the rules. They like to change the rules to for the minority to
• 1:37
  fit what their needs are. It's just pretty much the it's not even a
• 1:41
  need. That's the thing. He doesn't happen. It's not like he's allergic
• 1:45
  to wool. Okay, he just doesn't like it, right, So it's
• 1:49
  not his need, is it. They're changing like changing. Yes, he
• 1:53
  went for a job. He knew what the job entailed, he knew what
• 1:56
  the rules were. He got somehow he got elected over doctor Oz. I'll
• 2:00
  never understand that either. I don't you know. I've got my own theories
• 2:04
  about that myself. But so then he comes in and instead of them saying
• 2:08
  to him, Hey, now that you're in this position, you gotta look
• 2:13
  the part. You've got a dress nicely. We have a code. We
• 2:15
  have a dress code, So was he just not willing, So then they
• 2:19
  change the entire rules. It's laziness. Wear something nice, and my gosh,
• 2:23
  I don't want to see the leaders of our country walking around in the
• 2:28
  halls of Congress wearing sweats and crocs and shorts and T shirts. I just
• 2:35
  think that it's lazy, it's unbecoming, and it's not part of the dress
• 2:38
  code. So we've changed once again. We're changing everything for the point zero
• 2:43
  one percent. I also read that he's voting from the door, like he's
• 2:46
  not coming in. He's casting his vote from the door, right, because
• 2:51
  he wasn't allowed in the floor of the Senate without wearing a suit, so
• 2:53
  he would stand there in his T shirt. So he refused to wear a
• 2:57
  suit so he would stand in the doorway and yell with his vote was rather
• 3:00
  than actually go into the Senate. And that's part of why they change the
• 3:05
  rules, just because for him, because he refused to wear a suit.
• 3:07
  I saw where Susan Collins said, well, I'm gonna start wearing a bikini
• 3:09
  here. I mean, she's just kidding, but it's like, this is
• 3:13
  a job. If you're going to do this for him, then I'm just
• 3:15
  gonna wear my you know, my bikini top moss wrong, and let's just
• 3:17
  get this vote started. I mean, it's ridiculous. This is the problem.
• 3:22
  Do y'all think that had he been a Republican, that they would have
• 3:24
  changed the rules the dress code, or that it would have said, if
• 3:29
  you cannot dress and follow these rules, then you got to keep voting out
• 3:34
  in the hall. Exactly. Okay, But let's get to the crux of
• 3:37
  the Senate of the question here. Why is the dress code for the Senate?
• 3:40
  Why is that something that that's so important to conserve? Why is that
• 3:44
  something as American mamas, why do you think that's important? The way you
• 3:47
  dress is crucial because they say that when you go for a job, when
• 3:51
  you feel your very best, when you feel so put together that you you
• 3:55
  are better, you do better in a job. And that's the purpose of
• 3:59
  it. And in schools, when you dress better, you dress for success.
• 4:02
  It's out of respect too, it's a respect thing. It sets the
• 4:06
  tone like it would be odd to go in for an interview in today's world.
• 4:13
  Two, let's say you go for an interview and you're swearing you're just
• 4:15
  your T shirt, Jane shorts and your crocs. What does that say to
• 4:20
  the person that's looking to hire somebody? Are you serious? Are you serious
• 4:26
  about this position? If you were serious, if you have respect for this
• 4:29
  position, you would dress a little bit nicely. It says a lot about
• 4:32
  you. It sets the tone. Well, my husband works for a company,
• 4:36
  he works for an oil and gas company, and that is strictly enforced.
• 4:41
  The way that you're dressed, no facial hair, nothing, And if
• 4:44
  they've ever been interviewed, he said that the CEO of the company that some
• 4:48
  kid came in to be interviewed and engineer. He had facial hair, you
• 4:53
  know, kind of like that five o'clocks, that look, that real little
• 4:55
  rugged look, and he said, I'm sorry, but you do not have
• 4:58
  the job because you clearly did not take it seriously that you're coming in here.
• 5:01
  And that's taking it to another level. It totally is. It's old
• 5:04
  school. Well, especially in the same time when the beard is like the
• 5:08
  thing I'm surprised by that. Actually the beard is the thing we've heard,
• 5:15
  Steve. And you couldn't get a job there, That's all right. There
• 5:17
  are lots of places I'm sure I couldn't get a job, but I'll tell
• 5:20
  you what, if I did get a job, I would show respect to
• 5:24
  the institution. And here's my last question. Only got a few seconds left.
• 5:28
  Is it a matter that he doesn't respect the Senate? Orre's the matter
• 5:30
  that he doesn't respect himself? He didn't respect the Senate. I mean,
• 5:34
  I think he'll clearly feel he clearly respects himself a little too much because he
• 5:39
  thinks that he well he did, he had the right to. I mean,
• 5:42
  somehow he was able to change the dress code just by simply refusing to
• 5:46
  go along with it. Did they agree to it? Does it agree?
• 5:48
  It's a thing unreal. If you like to ask American Mama is a question,
