  Speaker 1: We got a question for American mamas. Dear mamas, why
• 0:02
  Speaker 1: are so many young women out rioting against the police
• 0:06
  Speaker 1: in Minnesota.
• 0:07
  Speaker 2: Well, let's ask our Americ and mama's.
• 0:10
  Speaker 3: Mama, Mama and joining us now our American mama's.
• 0:23
  Speaker 1: Terry Edville and Kimberly Burtherson, we were talking before the show.
• 0:27
  Speaker 1: There was a video I'd seen, and I wish i'd
• 0:30
  Speaker 1: remember who it was, but it seemed really insightful to me.
• 0:33
  Speaker 1: There's one was saying that women are hardwired to protect
• 0:38
  Speaker 1: the vulnerable, that there is an instinct within women that
• 0:43
  Speaker 1: you want to make sure you're nurturing and you're protecting
• 0:45
  Speaker 1: those who can't protect themselves. And it's very useful for
• 0:48
  Speaker 1: mothering because as a mother, for example, men can sleep
• 0:54
  Speaker 1: through a baby's cry, and women will wake up at
• 0:57
  Speaker 1: the slightest sound of a because it's hardwired in you
• 1:00
  Speaker 1: to be protective of the vulnerable, whereas men are like,
• 1:02
  Speaker 1: we're going to be protecting of the family. And so
• 1:05
  Speaker 1: if somebody, if a man hears a noise outside, he'll
• 1:08
  Speaker 1: wake up for that, right, but a woman will wake
• 1:10
  Speaker 1: up for the noise of a baby in general. Right,
• 1:12
  Speaker 1: These are generalizations and what she was saying was that
• 1:14
  Speaker 1: when you get a generation of women who have been
• 1:16
  Speaker 1: told it's not okay to be mothers, that you would
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: don't want to bring children into a global warming world,
• 1:22
  Speaker 1: or you know you don't want to you want to
• 1:23
  Speaker 1: fight the patriarchy. You can do that. You can decide
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: I'm not going to be a mother, I'm not gonna
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: get married, I'm not going to follow that traditional plan.
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: But you can't get rid of some of the hardwiring
• 1:32
  Speaker 1: instincts to protect the vulnerable. And so instead of being
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: able to take that and place it into a family
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: unit because you don't have one, now, women are placing
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: that wherever they possibly can. So they'll place it on
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: transgender they'll place it on illegal immigrants, they'll place it
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: on racism. And so that's why you see so many
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: young women out in all these marches, and the Left,
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: this bleeding Heart Left, is a movement is dominated by
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: young women because because the hardwiring of protecting the vulnerable
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: hasn't left them, but the purpose it was designed for
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: is something they've opted out of.
• 2:09
  Speaker 2: That makes so much sense to me. I've never heard
• 2:12
  Speaker 2: that before, but that just rings true. That just strikes
• 2:16
  Speaker 2: me that that is. That's what's going on in a
• 2:18
  Speaker 2: lot of these cases because it's like it has to
• 2:20
  Speaker 2: get out because innately women are we are born and
• 2:24
  Speaker 2: built for that we loved and nurture.
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: Let me ask a question, because you guys both had
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: your kids grow up, they're out of the house. Does
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: that instinct to nurture, to protect the innocent does that
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: leave when your kids are grown?
• 2:37
  Speaker 2: No? Not for me.
• 2:38
  Speaker 4: That's the conversation that we had last time. We had
• 2:41
  Speaker 4: a conversation about what's harder to have small children, teenagers
• 2:45
  Speaker 4: or adult children, And we said that it's harder to
• 2:48
  Speaker 4: have adult children because you cannot turn it off. You
• 2:51
  Speaker 4: want to continue to support, but you also want to
• 2:55
  Speaker 4: tell them what they're doing wrong. You want to guide them,
• 2:57
  Speaker 4: but you don't know if it's too much, you need
• 2:59
  Speaker 4: to pull back. So it's hard to have adult children
• 3:02
  Speaker 4: because you cannot turn it off. You want to keep
• 3:04
  Speaker 4: on being the mother that you were when they were little.
• 3:07
  Speaker 2: And you know, I'll tell you this, being a grandmother,
• 3:10
  Speaker 2: it's so interesting because that doesn't leave you. Because even
• 3:13
  Speaker 2: when my three were in college, I still had that
• 3:16
  Speaker 2: yearning to take care of to nurture and God and
• 3:20
  Speaker 2: then they're you know, they're adulting in this world. Well,
• 3:23
  Speaker 2: then my oldest son and his wife have a baby
• 3:25
  Speaker 2: two years ago, and that sense of purpose came flooding back,
• 3:30
  Speaker 2: and I was able to keep him three days a week,
• 3:32
  Speaker 2: and for those three days, like a new part of
• 3:36
  Speaker 2: me was reborn and I was able to go back
• 3:39
  Speaker 2: to those instinctual, primal things, and it was so fulfilling.
• 3:43
  Speaker 2: And now we find out find out that they've been blessed.
• 3:46
  Speaker 2: They get to go to this wonderful place for five
• 3:49
  Speaker 2: years for Steele's residency. My first thought and the reason
• 3:52
  Speaker 2: the tears flowed is I thought, what am I going
• 3:55
  Speaker 2: to do now? What is my purpose going to be? Now?
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: Maybe you could go protest ice.
• 4:00
  Speaker 2: You know, that's just not my thing. I'm all for ice, actually,
• 4:05
  Speaker 2: but that makes sense what you said that theory. The
• 4:08
  Speaker 2: reason it aligns and it feels so right is because
• 4:11
  Speaker 2: I'm like, Okay, they may not even know why they
• 4:14
  Speaker 2: feel this strongly about wanting to nurture and take care
• 4:19
  Speaker 2: of and be that part of the ice, the war
• 4:25
  Speaker 2: or whatever the young leftist. Mama Bear, Yes, yes, our kids,
• 4:28
  Speaker 2: and they will go. They will, like you just said,
• 4:30
  Speaker 2: Mama Bear, they will fight to the ends of the
• 4:33
  Speaker 2: ends of the earth to take care of what they
• 4:35
  Speaker 2: feel is right. But I remember something that was said
• 4:38
  Speaker 2: on Secretariat. That's one of my all time favorite movies,
• 4:41
  Speaker 2: all time favorite, and the mom was on the phone
• 4:43
  Speaker 2: with her daughter, who had been raised the way that
• 4:47
  Speaker 2: they raised ideology wise, but then she got into this
• 4:50
  Speaker 2: hippie phase, okay, and she started protesting wars and she
• 4:54
  Speaker 2: called her mom and she was like, you know, she
• 4:56
  Speaker 2: could hear the chance in the background. The mom could
• 4:58
  Speaker 2: hear it, and she said, I hope you're not you know,
• 5:00
  Speaker 2: I don't want you to be disappointed or whatever. She said, Listen,
• 5:03
  Speaker 2: you have to remember this. You're always going to fight
• 5:07
  Speaker 2: for what you feel is the right thing. What's going
• 5:10
  Speaker 2: to change is life experiences. You're going to it might
• 5:14
  Speaker 2: be something else, but that need to fight, that need
• 5:17
  Speaker 2: to that yearning to stand up for something that you
• 5:21
  Speaker 2: think is right, and then to be a woman who's
• 5:23
  Speaker 2: trying to be that example for all these other younger
• 5:25
  Speaker 2: women that'll never go away. You know, just what changes
• 5:28
  Speaker 2: is life experiences.
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: And what you think is worth fighting for exactly. Hey,
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: I thought it was a very interesting concept. I want
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: her to run it by you guys and see what
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: y'all thought so interesting.
• 5:39
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
