  Speaker 1: We got a question for American mamas. Dear mama's, what
• 0:02
  Speaker 1: do you think of the people on TikTok videoing themselves
• 0:06
  Speaker 1: giving money to the poor. Well, let's ask our American
• 0:09
  Speaker 1: mamas Alma Mama, and joining us now are American mama's
• 0:24
  Speaker 1: Terry Nuttville and Kimberly Burlson. Though, so, there is a
• 0:26
  Speaker 1: trend of people on tiktoku giving giving money away to
• 0:30
  Speaker 1: the poor. You know, I think of one of these,
• 0:32
  Speaker 1: oh man, what is his name, mister big Yeah, And
• 0:36
  Speaker 1: he does these amazing charity events and he's giving away
• 0:38
  Speaker 1: shoes to homeless people in Africa or whatever, some amazing
• 0:42
  Speaker 1: things that he's doing. But in the process, he is
• 0:46
  Speaker 1: certainly benefiting in reputation and in monetary and in clicks
• 0:53
  Speaker 1: and in likes and in views by him doing these
• 0:56
  Speaker 1: acts of charity. So what do y'all think of that?
• 1:00
  Speaker 2: I mean, I definitely think that there's something to it
• 1:02
  Speaker 2: as far as people wanting attention, wanting the clicks, wanting
• 1:06
  Speaker 2: the likes, you know, it's about that. But at the
• 1:08
  Speaker 2: same time, it is inspiring to see the response of
• 1:13
  Speaker 2: people receiving and it to me inspires me to do
• 1:17
  Speaker 2: more Terry's son. He's at my house right now, and
• 1:20
  Speaker 2: we were having a conversation about this, and I said,
• 1:23
  Speaker 2: what do you think, s what do you think about
• 1:24
  Speaker 2: these videos? And he's like, it doesn't matter. He goes,
• 1:28
  Speaker 2: you can kind of pick up on what's genuine or not.
• 1:31
  Speaker 2: And he said, but that doesn't matter to me. And
• 1:34
  Speaker 2: I said why. I said, do you give to homeless people?
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: Do you?
• 1:37
  Speaker 2: And he said, he goes, I'm a poor kid right now.
• 1:39
  Speaker 2: He said, but when I have, everybody's got to eat.
• 1:42
  Speaker 2: And it reminded me of when Dad we had talked
• 1:44
  Speaker 2: about that and Dad said, we're talking about giving to
• 1:47
  Speaker 2: homeless people. And I said, well, what if they're like
• 1:49
  Speaker 2: using it for alcohol or drugs? And he said, that's
• 1:52
  Speaker 2: not for you to the act of giving is love
• 1:57
  Speaker 2: and that if you're giving out of love, then that's
• 1:59
  Speaker 2: where you let go of it. That's the blessing and
• 2:03
  Speaker 2: what happens with them and how they use that money,
• 2:05
  Speaker 2: that has nothing to do with you. So if you
• 2:07
  Speaker 2: want to give somebody something, give it to them out
• 2:10
  Speaker 2: of love, period.
• 2:11
  Speaker 3: And if this is one of those things that is
• 2:13
  Speaker 3: contagious and it has people thinking, oh, that's a grand idea,
• 2:17
  Speaker 3: I want to do that too. I will say this,
• 2:20
  Speaker 3: when I find out after the fact that somebody has
• 2:23
  Speaker 3: done something anonymously, and it might be years later, I
• 2:26
  Speaker 3: look at them differently in a hire regard and I'll think, wow,
• 2:31
  Speaker 3: I mean, because they did it.
• 2:32
  Speaker 2: You find out that about Trump all the time, true, Kim,
• 2:36
  Speaker 2: believe we do.
• 2:36
  Speaker 3: So many people have come out. They don't share it,
• 2:39
  Speaker 3: you know, out on the left media, they never share
• 2:41
  Speaker 3: those things. But people have come of all races.
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: There's a homeless lady in New York recently, black woman
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: who came out and said, I will never see anything
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: disparaging about Donald Trump. I will never I've always voted
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: for him. I know I'm in New York, but there
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: was a time when I was homeless and he came.
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: He just saw me on the street, just bumped into him,
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: and he did something amazing. I don't remember what the
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: world story was, but yeah, this was back in the
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: nineteen eighteen, ninety nineties. You never heard about it.
• 3:06
  Speaker 3: Well, and the apple doesn't fall far because there was
• 3:09
  Speaker 3: a man that said that Trump's father was on the
• 3:13
  Speaker 3: board of their private school. Yes where this man said
• 3:17
  Speaker 3: he was at at a rally. He said, I need
• 3:19
  Speaker 3: y'all to know, I need to meet him. I need
• 3:22
  Speaker 3: to thank him, because that kid was at the same
• 3:25
  Speaker 3: school that President Trump was. When there were kids, his
• 3:28
  Speaker 3: father died and I think there was like three or
• 3:30
  Speaker 3: four siblings, and the mother was like, I mean she
• 3:34
  Speaker 3: wasn't afford yeah, right, And all of a sudden there's
• 3:36
  Speaker 3: a knock on the door and it's it's President Trump's
• 3:39
  Speaker 3: father who said, listen, you don't need to worry about
• 3:42
  Speaker 3: a thing. I got you. Your kids are fine all
• 3:45
  Speaker 3: the way through school through college. And he wanted to
• 3:48
  Speaker 3: thank the son of And so when you grow up,
• 3:51
  Speaker 3: because we knew the things that are we knew the
• 3:54
  Speaker 3: things that our dad did in secret, like that we
• 3:56
  Speaker 3: would go to lass a vegos, we would go places
• 3:57
  Speaker 3: and if if Dad saw military people or an elderly couple,
• 4:01
  Speaker 3: he would just quietly say to the waitress, I got theirs,
• 4:05
  Speaker 3: and then we would leave. They never knew who did it.
• 4:07
  Speaker 3: And so when you grow up with somebody like that,
• 4:10
  Speaker 3: you want to do those very same. In fact, on
• 4:13
  Speaker 3: his death diversary, we do that. We always will. Whenever
• 4:17
  Speaker 3: we go eat, we'll take care of somebody's meal and
• 4:19
  Speaker 3: his memory and his honor. So I think growing up
• 4:22
  Speaker 3: with that probably is why Trump is the way he is.
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: So I'd see a couple of genuine points on this.
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: When people are doing this stuff on TikTok, if it's inspiring,
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: that's great, right, and you're you know, you're you're helping others.
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: But I'm going to give one admonition here the Sermon
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: on the Mount, So Jesus is talking, and he says,
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: when you're giving, do it in a way that your
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: left hand doesn't know what your right hand is doing. Right,
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: that you're giving shouldn't be so that you get glory. Right,
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: Because if you're doing it so that you get glory,
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: you have your reward. But if you doing it so
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: that God gets glory, your reward will be in heaven.
• 5:04
  Speaker 3: I love that, and maybe that's why innately, when I
• 5:07
  Speaker 3: hear about something that somebody did after the fact, even
• 5:10
  Speaker 3: if they're dead, and somebody says, you know, you hear
• 5:13
  Speaker 3: this at funerals, you know they never said this anybody,
• 5:16
  Speaker 3: But he took care care, he took or she took
• 5:18
  Speaker 3: care of our mortgage for three months while we were
• 5:21
  Speaker 3: and you're like, oh my god, I never knew that
• 5:22
  Speaker 3: that person was like that you just hold them to
• 5:25
  Speaker 3: hire regard because they did it out of the goodness
• 5:27
  Speaker 3: of their hearts.
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: And there's a danger of giving to people so that
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: you can consider yourself a good person, because you're not.
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: No one is. There is none good, And it doesn't
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: matter how much you're given to the poor. That doesn't
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: make you good. You are not justified by your works.
• 5:45
  Speaker 1: Make sure your intention when you are giving is about
• 5:49
  Speaker 1: God's glory, not yours. And if God tells you to
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: put it on TikTok, who might.
• 5:55
  Speaker 2: Argue that's true?
• 5:56
