Freedom Summer in Florida · Let's Ask the Mamas!

• 0:00
  We got a question for our American mamas. Dear mamas, what is freedom
• 0:03
  summer in Florida? Well, let's ask our American mamas. Ama, Mama,
• 0:15
  she said in joining us. Now our American mama's Terry Needville and Kimberly
• 0:23
  Burlison. You know what, I haven't heard of this. I hope it's
• 0:26
  not like the Summer of Love in twenty twenty or in nineteen sixty eight.
• 0:30
  Those were both bad things. What is freedom Summer in Florida? Well?
• 0:37
  I saw that Florida announced that all the bridges across the state are no longer
• 0:42
  going to flash the rainbow colors in June for the LGBT Pride, also for
• 0:46
  Juneteenth, but instead they're going to flash red, white, and blue to
• 0:50
  celebrate what they're calling Freedom Summer, the colors from the flag that unites us
• 0:56
  all as Americans instead of dividing us. And when I saw this, the
• 1:00
  first thing that got me excited. I thought about nine to eleven and what
• 1:03
  happened after nine to eleven. It was amazing. It was you could not
• 1:07
  fly everywhere. Our neighbor came over and asked if we had an extra flag
• 1:12
  because he couldn't find a flag anywhere. It was unbelievable. What happened to
• 1:17
  this nine to eleven was awful. Nine twelve, Yes, yes, it's
• 1:22
  still warms mind. We were all unified. Yeah, and for a while,
• 1:25
  Yeah, the people flying their flags on their cars, yeah, multiple
• 1:30
  And I don't know that it would happen today. I don't know that it
• 1:33
  would. I feel like since Obama, the division in this country has just
• 1:38
  kind of reached a fever. Pitch really had the opportunity to be the true
• 1:42
  unified Yeah, and he did. He did it. He made it worse,
• 1:45
  and I feel like things have gotten really bad. But I think,
• 1:47
  I really think they're building up with this whole Palestinian stuff. We're building up
• 1:52
  to like another George Floyd summer leading up to the election. And I'm wondering
• 1:57
  if this is backfiring on them right now. Well, okay, so these
• 2:00
  these some moss protesters try to take over a bridge in Philida's Disney Yeah,
• 2:06
  and it was shut down. DeSantis is the dude, He's the best governor.
• 2:10
  Well, and the police in Florida are not afraid to enforce ya all
• 2:15
  over these blue states, they are. They are terrified of actually enforcing the
• 2:20
  law. Well, let's get back to that month. And this is somebody
• 2:23
  wrote this on Twitter. They said, I can get behind being prideful,
• 2:27
  even pride parades and festivals that people can decide to tend or not, but
• 2:30
  I think people are tired of a whole month set aside for people who other
• 2:34
  than like in the same sex is really not that different. It is not
• 2:38
  unique to be gay anymore. In fact, it's quite normal. Veterans who
• 2:40
  have contributed way more to this country get a single day. Because you're gay,
• 2:44
  you get a month. And that's how I think we're all like,
• 2:46
  what what is the deal that just it doesn't matter who you have sex with.
• 2:50
  I don't even think it's about that has anything to do with gay.
• 2:53
  I think it's about changing the direction, changing the focus. I think that's
• 2:58
  what Florida's wanting to do, away from all of that and focus on our
• 3:00
  country and what matters the very most. And I really kind of give credit
• 3:05
  to those frat boys, yes, because I think I really from North Carolina.
• 3:08
  Yeah, I really think that something has happened. There's been a shift,
• 3:12
  and we've talked about it before on the show just where Hope is contagious
• 3:15
  and I think that we are feeling like this this ignition of a hope,
• 3:22
  and I think that they're like playing on it, like because I think this
• 3:23
  is the first Florida is the first one, but I think it's going to
• 3:27
  happen in other states as well. I think people are done, That's what
• 3:30
  I think. Yeah, I think people are done with this well, because
• 3:32
  it's kind of interesting because Target was all in on gay pride last year.
• 3:36
  Oh yeah, and Target is not going to be putting out the transgender bathing
• 3:40
  suits for miners this year that they were doing last year, except in certain
• 3:46
  jurisdictions. So I have a feeling if you go into a Target that hasn't
• 3:49
  shut down in San Francisco and they will have the transgender swimsuits there, But
• 3:53
  if you're going to go into one, I don't know in Houston, Texas,
• 3:58
  they may not have it right. Being aware it to knowing who your
• 4:01
  clientaile is. You know, that's that's letting leus in San Francisco. Okay,
• 4:05
  that's what they want, That's what they're you know, that tend to
• 4:09
  be more like their demographic demographic that may be parts of Miami where that's uh,
• 4:14
  that's what target's doing in Miami, right, But I think people are
• 4:16
  tired of being things just shove down our throat. You know, it's like,
• 4:21
  okay, fine, be you do you boo, but don't like force
• 4:26
  me, don't shove it down. Are we taking it back now? Are
• 4:29
  we seeing that kind of shift where we're taking it back? We're like,
• 4:31
  no, no, we're going to shut you down if you start doing these
• 4:35
  things that we think are wrong, that harm our children. We're going to
• 4:39
  focus on our country. We're going to wear our flags with pride. We're
• 4:43
  going to wear our red hats if we want to wear our red hat.
• 4:46
  Right, it's almost like a rebellious act now or is this just about let's
• 4:49
  stop being divisive? Yeah? Because again all of it. There's gay Pride
• 4:54
  Month, there is not straight pride right right, there's African American History Month.
• 4:58
  There's not white America in history. But they would say, because you
• 5:00
  get the rest of the year. No, we're over that. No,
• 5:03
  we don't anything. I would hate to be a straight white male these days.
• 5:06
  Actually, there's actually on the calendar a full one third of the calendar
• 5:12
  year is dedicated to these unofficial holidays for transgender and gay causes a full one
• 5:17
  third of the calendar. It's ridiculous. It's crazy, and so for us
• 5:24
  to say that, you know, straight people do. No, it's not
• 5:27
  just Gay Pride Month in June. There's also transgender Awareness a month coming up,
• 5:30
  I think October or something like that. Well, there's a study now
• 5:32
  that says the eighteen and this is like crazy, but the young college age
• 5:39
  kids from eighteen to twenty nine are leaning more I don't know the percentage that
• 5:44
  Megan Kelly gave, but now they're leaning more to the right. They're becoming
• 5:48
  conservatives, which is crazy for that demographic, but they see what's going on
• 5:53
  and they're the ones who kind of had that rebellious like, you know what,
• 5:56
  it's our time, and they are making a difference. Freedom summer.
