Transcript
- 0:00Speaker 1: We got a question for American mamas. Dear mama's, are
- 0:02Speaker 1: you disappointed that Avanka Trump won't be part of her
- 0:05Speaker 1: father's second administration?
- 0:06Speaker 2: Well, let's ask our American mama's. Mamma Maid.
- 0:21Speaker 1: And Jodie is now in studio, our American mama, terry
- 0:24Speaker 1: Needinville and on the phone, our American mama, Kimberly Burlason.
- 0:29Speaker 2: Okay, So Avanka Trump.
- 0:31Speaker 1: Just gave a Uh, she just gave a interview where
- 0:35Speaker 1: she said she's not going to be going back to
- 0:37Speaker 1: the White House, She's not going to be part of
- 0:38Speaker 1: this second administration.
- 0:41Speaker 2: Uh, what do y'all think of that?
- 0:45Speaker 3: I saw that interview. I thought it was interesting. I
- 0:47Speaker 3: wasn't surprised because I mean, they went through it with
- 0:51Speaker 3: that last administration, and what you know, she talked about
- 0:54Speaker 3: how there's a darkness in that world, and she said
- 0:57Speaker 3: she didn't want it to be welcomed in hers anymore.
- 1:00Speaker 3: But one thing she said I thought was kind of
- 1:02Speaker 3: sad is that she said, you know, my dad, as
- 1:05Speaker 3: a president, it's the loneliest position there is because every
- 1:08Speaker 3: relationship is transactional with him, and she felt like she
- 1:13Speaker 3: just wanted to be his daughter and but in a way,
- 1:16Speaker 3: as I'm listening, I totally get it. But I thought
- 1:19Speaker 3: she may end up being even more helpful to him
- 1:22Speaker 3: in this capacity. Trump's family is his safe place, and
- 1:27Speaker 3: all of them are smart, all of them have in
- 1:29Speaker 3: abundance of common sense. So he's got his presidential cabinet,
- 1:34Speaker 3: But then he has his cabinet cabinet, you know what
- 1:36Speaker 3: I mean. Our family calls it our debrief club, but
- 1:40Speaker 3: it's a cabinet cabinet. It's your inner circle. And so
- 1:44Speaker 3: I think he's going to have more of a profound
- 1:47Speaker 3: of impact on him because it's his safe place. So
- 1:50Speaker 3: once they're going through whatever they're going through, he's got
- 1:53Speaker 3: his people. He's got his people, and that's where they
- 1:55Speaker 3: need to be for him, not positions of power. They
- 1:59Speaker 3: have the biggest position of power by being a family.
- 2:02Speaker 4: Yeah, And she even said that, she said, you know,
- 2:05Speaker 4: I feel like the best way that I can help
- 2:07Speaker 4: my dad is be his safe place, you know, when
- 2:10Speaker 4: we're just watching movie together, just being a great daughter.
- 2:13Speaker 4: And this is a thing, you know, I took note
- 2:15Speaker 4: of exactly what kimerly. Those are the things stuck out
- 2:18Speaker 4: to me too. And she said at one point when
- 2:21Speaker 4: they asked her about it, she said, the main reason
- 2:22Speaker 4: I'm not going back to serve now is I know
- 2:25Speaker 4: the cost, and it's a price that I'm not willing
- 2:27Speaker 4: to make my kids bear.
- 2:28Speaker 2: That was interesting to me too.
- 2:30Speaker 4: That stuck out because every parent can understand that, right
- 2:36Speaker 4: because apparently according to Laura Trump, yeah, Evanka and Jared
- 2:40Speaker 4: they went through it. That was a very emotional time.
- 2:42Speaker 4: They were being attacked for suretely and whenever you're when
- 2:46Speaker 4: you and the kids were really young at the time.
- 2:49Speaker 4: As parents, you're so protective, you're so protective. So if
- 2:53Speaker 4: there was darkness that she didn't want, you know, to
- 2:56Speaker 4: be let into her family life, I totally get it.
- 2:58Speaker 4: I respect her so much for this because, as y'all know,
- 3:02Speaker 4: I've made it very clear, the only thing I ever
- 3:04Speaker 4: ever wanted to be and really care about is being
- 3:08Speaker 4: a good wife and mom.
- 3:09Speaker 3: Right.
- 3:09Speaker 4: I just want I wanted to raise these incredible humans
- 3:12Speaker 4: to go out and do incredible things, whether that's being
- 3:15Speaker 4: a mom and a dad or whatever they want to do.
- 3:17Speaker 4: So if I felt like that there was some kind
- 3:19Speaker 4: of evil entity entering into my world with my family,
- 3:24Speaker 4: your job, you get through my job, Yeah, no way, right,
- 3:27Speaker 4: Plus she said she was missing things. She was missing.
- 3:31Speaker 4: She said she didn't miss the big stuff, but she
- 3:33Speaker 4: didn't want to miss the little stuff.
- 3:34Speaker 1: You know, Kimberly, I think, especially for your family, that's
- 3:36Speaker 1: a really important point because the Speaks sisters show up
- 3:40Speaker 1: for everything.
- 3:42Speaker 3: Everything, everything, everything. We are family. So I know that's
- 3:47Speaker 3: one thing that Shane said when she was speaking at
- 3:49Speaker 3: my mom's funeral. You know, people also say you have
- 3:52Speaker 3: such a great family, you are so amazing, and it's like, no,
- 3:55Speaker 3: we're like any other family. We just show up for
- 3:58Speaker 3: each other. So that's what you're seeing.
- 4:00Speaker 4: We show up, Yeah, no matter what's going on. That's
- 4:03Speaker 4: the truth. And I love the fact that they're so
- 4:06Speaker 4: that she's being so transparent about it, you know. And
- 4:10Speaker 4: the women that I gravitate to the most, you know,
- 4:14Speaker 4: like y'all's wives and my friends. I gravitate to those
- 4:19Speaker 4: who are who put their families first before me. Like
- 4:22Speaker 4: I have a good friend Claudia Gary who's she's a
- 4:25Speaker 4: brilliant attorney. She's got five kids. They are her world.
- 4:28Speaker 4: We had this weekend that we had planned. This is
- 4:30Speaker 4: years ago. We were supposed to go hear Beth Moore.
- 4:33Speaker 4: She called me the day before and said, oh my god,
- 4:35Speaker 4: you know Greg needs me to head up this thing
- 4:37Speaker 4: at he's that basketball coach and Purdue. And she said,
- 4:40Speaker 4: I you know, I've got to be there. I said, sister,
- 4:42Speaker 4: that's all you had to say. Family first, that's I
- 4:45Speaker 4: gravitate to women like that. I want to emulate that.
- 4:48Speaker 4: I want to be that for other women. So when
- 4:51Speaker 4: you have someone like Evanka, and I'll say this, I
- 4:54Speaker 4: don't think her time in politics is over over. I
- 4:58Speaker 4: think for right now. I think that in Tom Baron,
- 5:02Speaker 4: you know, years and years from now.
- 5:04Speaker 2: Maybe not.
- 5:06Speaker 4: But I just feel like that this family has such
- 5:09Speaker 4: they have such a love for our country, and I
- 5:11Speaker 4: think the family is going to be a part of
- 5:12Speaker 4: it from here on out.
- 5:14Speaker 2: Well. I think the thing I'm actually most.
- 5:17Speaker 1: Disappointed by is that we're not going to have Jared Kushner.
- 5:20Speaker 4: I know he got think about her, remember that Kimberly
- 5:23Speaker 4: when they were they were coming after Jared. Yeah, completely,
- 5:27Speaker 4: he was that he got.
- 5:28Speaker 1: Battered well, and of course Jared Kushner was part of
- 5:31Speaker 1: the peace deal.
- 5:32Speaker 2: He was the architecture right of the peace deal.
- 5:34Speaker 4: I don't think that's why they came after him.
- 5:36Speaker 1: I don't I think that's part of why they came
- 5:37Speaker 1: after him so much. But I don't think the peace
- 5:39Speaker 1: deal happened without Jared Kushner there, and he tackled so
- 5:42Speaker 1: many good things. But yeah, so Evanka says she's not
- 5:46Speaker 1: going to be there and it's for family. Yeah, and y'all,
- 5:50Speaker 1: y'all are in favor of that.
- 5:51Speaker 4: Yes, I admire her for it.
- 5:54Speaker 3: Yes, me too, me too.
