Transcript
- 0:00Speaker 1: Tell you what. We got a question for American mama's.
- 0:01Speaker 1: Dear mama's, did the three Democrat presidents hijack Jesse Jackson's funeral? Well,
- 0:06Speaker 1: let's ask our Americ in mama's alma, she said, and
- 0:20Speaker 1: joining us now in studio, our American mama, Terry Netdville.
- 0:23Speaker 1: Did you watch Jesse Jackson's funeral?
- 0:27Speaker 2: What's up?
- 0:27Speaker 3: Saw clips of it?
- 0:29Speaker 1: Clips of it?
- 0:29Speaker 4: All?
- 0:29Speaker 2: Right?
- 0:30Speaker 1: Excellent? And what did you think?
- 0:33Speaker 4: Well before the funeral, Jesse Jr. Had asked everybody that
- 0:38Speaker 4: was going to speak to please keep politics out of it.
- 0:41Speaker 1: Whether you're a Republican or Democratic. Said, you're welcome married Republicans, Democrats, Independence, conservatives, leftists,
- 0:47Speaker 1: if you want to come to the funeral, come to
- 0:48Speaker 1: the funeral. So what he said?
- 0:49Speaker 4: So and then two of the presidents. I think that
- 0:52Speaker 4: he got calm confused because Bill Clinton did not. He
- 0:55Speaker 4: did not turn it political. We'll say that for Bill Clinton.
- 0:58Speaker 4: But it was Barack Obama, Joe Biden, and Kamala Harris
- 1:04Speaker 4: who you would have thought this was a political rally
- 1:07Speaker 4: for their group, for their side. And you know, I
- 1:11Speaker 4: don't understand why Kamala continues to do this, but she
- 1:14Speaker 4: gets up there and she's insufferable, she's hard to listen to,
- 1:18Speaker 4: and she goes in with that, you know what can be.
- 1:22Speaker 3: Unburdened by what has been.
- 1:24Speaker 4: She said that twice exactly, and I thought, my gosh,
- 1:29Speaker 4: this is a political rally.
- 1:31Speaker 3: The family. Are you not going to honor their wishes?
- 1:34Speaker 4: Their family literally came out in front of all of
- 1:37Speaker 4: us and said, please do not make this political.
- 1:40Speaker 1: You know what's interesting. Of those people you've mentioned, Joe Biden,
- 1:43Speaker 1: President Biden, Vice President Harris, President Barack Obama, and President
- 1:47Speaker 1: Bill Clinton, Bill Clinton was the only one who actually
- 1:51Speaker 1: had Jesse Jackson as a religious advisor while he was
- 1:55Speaker 1: in office. Of those people, he's the only one who
- 1:58Speaker 1: invited Jackson to help him. Now, this was after the
- 2:01Speaker 1: Monica Lewinsky debacle, but he did have Jesse Jackson come
- 2:05Speaker 1: to the White House on a regular basis, somewhat regular
- 2:08Speaker 1: basis and pray for him. Right. The other guys didn't
- 2:10Speaker 1: do that.
- 2:10Speaker 4: You know, I appreciate that about about Bill Clintons. He's
- 2:14Speaker 4: a very flawed, very flawed man. But the fact that
- 2:17Speaker 4: he respected the wishes of the family made me happy
- 2:19Speaker 4: that he did that. Then you have Joe Biden, who
- 2:22Speaker 4: gets up there and he for whatever reason, do we
- 2:25Speaker 4: have that clue?
- 2:26Speaker 1: We've got this clip, so you want to you want.
- 2:27Speaker 3: To go ahead and play in. This is Joe.
- 2:29Speaker 1: Biden talking at Jesse Jackson's funeral.
- 2:31Speaker 2: Take to listen a cleft palt or club foot note.
- 2:35Speaker 2: Even have laughed. But it's okay to laugh. It's suttering.
- 2:39Speaker 2: I'm not being critical of you. But think about it.
- 2:42Speaker 2: It's the one place for people think you're stupid. Oh really,
- 2:47Speaker 2: I had a lot smarter most of you. Well, kid,
- 2:51Speaker 2: he's hot.
- 2:53Speaker 1: Okay, So he just tells an audience full of people. Yeah,
- 2:58Speaker 1: and let's be honest about it, most of them are black. Yeah,
- 3:01Speaker 1: that he's smart, That he's smarter than most of those
- 3:03Speaker 1: people in that room.
- 3:04Speaker 4: Yes, I think that the man has got one foot
- 3:07Speaker 4: in the grave. I don't really know that he even
- 3:08Speaker 4: knows what he's talking about. But all of that aside,
- 3:13Speaker 4: that was very insulting. Luckily they took it as a joke.
- 3:15Speaker 3: They laughed.
- 3:16Speaker 4: But all of that aside, why would you come to
- 3:19Speaker 4: someone's funeral?
- 3:20Speaker 3: And when you go give a eulogy.
- 3:22Speaker 4: Or you speak at someone's funeral, the objective is to
- 3:25Speaker 4: talk about the person that you're bearing. You're supposed to
- 3:28Speaker 4: respect and honor their life by sharing stories and things
- 3:31Speaker 4: about them that maybe people didn't know. It's to honor them,
- 3:34Speaker 4: honor their memory. It's not a place, it's not a
- 3:37Speaker 4: time to bring up your cleft palette or your stutter.
- 3:40Speaker 1: Right, this isn't about you, Joe.
- 3:41Speaker 3: It's not about you.
- 3:42Speaker 1: This is about not just Jesse Jackson, but the people
- 3:44Speaker 1: who are mourning Jesse Jackson. I say this all the time.
- 3:47Speaker 1: Funerals are for the living, yes, and so if you're
- 3:49Speaker 1: going to a funeral, you want to be hearing and
- 3:53Speaker 1: receiving something that gives you solace, that helps you deal
- 3:57Speaker 1: with your grief in the moment. How does enraging people
- 4:01Speaker 1: with politics help them with grief.
- 4:03Speaker 4: It's truly remarkable to me. And the left seems to
- 4:06Speaker 4: do this over and over and over again. At any
- 4:09Speaker 4: of these state funerals, it does become a political rally.
- 4:14Speaker 2: You know.
- 4:14Speaker 4: Barack Obama got up there and he started talking about
- 4:17Speaker 4: how basically times are hopeless.
- 4:20Speaker 3: We're bullied.
- 4:21Speaker 4: You know, we're the underdog, and I thought, you're the
- 4:24Speaker 4: biggest bully. You're the reason why a lot of the
- 4:27Speaker 4: problems that we have today, are you know to the forefront, did.
- 4:30Speaker 1: He talk about how Jesse Jackson said on air that
- 4:33Speaker 1: Barack Obama was talking down to black people.
- 4:35Speaker 4: No, he did not say that, but you know what
- 4:37Speaker 4: you could tell when Jesse Jr. Was afterwards The day after,
- 4:42Speaker 4: Jesse came forward and he actually said to all the reporters,
- 4:47Speaker 4: to all of us, how disappointed he.
- 4:49Speaker 3: Was in that.
- 4:50Speaker 4: He said three presidents when it really was Kamala Harris
- 4:52Speaker 4: is not a president, so it's.
- 4:53Speaker 3: Two president vice pras.
- 4:55Speaker 4: He was so disappointed he asked them not to You
- 4:58Speaker 4: could tell there was a venom.
- 4:59Speaker 3: He was furious. This was about his father.
- 5:02Speaker 4: If my father died and his friends or allies came
- 5:06Speaker 4: to the funeral and began sharing their grievances or given
- 5:10Speaker 4: hopelessness to the people and telling them how doomed we are, right,
- 5:14Speaker 4: I would be equally not only disturb but angry.
- 5:17Speaker 3: And you could tell he was.
- 5:19Speaker 1: You know, you're a good point there. A funeral is
- 5:21Speaker 1: not festivus. It's not time for an airing of grievances. Right, yeah, okay.
