- 0:09Speaker 2: Mamma, mama, she said.
- 0:22Speaker 1: And joining us now our American mama's Terry Ediville and
- 0:25Speaker 1: Kimberly Burlason. So CNN went out and they're like, hey,
- 0:29Speaker 1: let's find out what the kids want to know about politics.
- 0:31Speaker 1: And they are asking them a whole bunch of different questions.
- 0:33Speaker 1: And there's one clue that in particular it's gone viral,
- 0:36Speaker 1: and she I guess the interview was asking a kid
- 0:40Speaker 1: from Arizona, what do you think of Kamala Harris? When
- 0:44Speaker 1: you have just one word? What do you think of her?
- 0:46Speaker 1: And he said liar?
- 0:48Speaker 3: Wow?
- 0:49Speaker 2: Yeah yeah, so can't do the truth tellers? Yeah, yeah,
- 0:53Speaker 2: out of the mouths of babes. I watched the whole
- 0:55Speaker 2: thing and I was fascinated. It was a psychologist. I
- 0:58Speaker 2: think her name is Ashley Landon, but she conducted this
- 1:00Speaker 2: interview and I'm assuming that the kids were like sixth
- 1:03Speaker 2: grade because they seemed Yeah, I thought that sideware enough aware, right,
- 1:08Speaker 2: And so she she had like a whole group. She'd
- 1:11Speaker 2: do them, she'd interview one by one, and she was
- 1:13Speaker 2: talking to these kids raising Democrat homes, and she said,
- 1:16Speaker 2: can you tell me what you know about Trump? It
- 1:19Speaker 2: was he's hitler January swixt six, was really bad. He
- 1:23Speaker 2: hates black people. I mean, it was all this negative stuff.
- 1:27Speaker 2: Same question asked to the kids raised in Republican homes.
- 1:30Speaker 2: They didn't know much about her, like, I don't know,
- 1:33Speaker 2: she's a lady, she was like the vice president, like
- 1:36Speaker 2: none of that. She then asked them questions She's She
- 1:39Speaker 2: showed a picture of a house and she had had
- 1:41Speaker 2: a sign of Harris in one yard, sign a Trump
- 1:43Speaker 2: in the other yard. And she asked the kids raising
- 1:46Speaker 2: Democrat homes, would your parents allow you to go play
- 1:50Speaker 2: with your friends who have a Trump yard sign? All
- 1:52Speaker 2: of them no, absolutely not, no way when my parents
- 1:56Speaker 2: let me do that, Same question asked to the kids
- 1:59Speaker 2: rais and re bolic and homes. Every one of them said, yes,
- 2:03Speaker 2: we're just we're different, but we're alike and we can
- 2:05Speaker 2: still be friends. Like it was all positive. And I thought,
- 2:09Speaker 2: where's the tolerance we're seeing out of the mouths of babes.
- 2:13Speaker 2: Where the real tolerance? Because all of these kids are
- 2:15Speaker 2: talking straight from their parents, right, Everything that they're hearing
- 2:19Speaker 2: is from their parents. And I thought, wow, this is
- 2:22Speaker 2: very telling.
- 2:23Speaker 3: Very It's funny because they they have this ability to
- 2:27Speaker 3: project unlike anybody else. They project those things onto Republicans,
- 2:31Speaker 3: onto conservatives that they themselves are guilty of.
- 2:35Speaker 1: Yeah, we said on the show, we call them the
- 2:37Speaker 1: Party of Projection. Whatever they're accusing you of doing, they've
- 2:39Speaker 1: already done or are currently doing.
- 2:40Speaker 3: Right right. I remember seeing a few years ago there
- 2:43Speaker 3: was a school in inner City school and they had
- 2:46Speaker 3: this election and it was like probably first graders and
- 2:51Speaker 3: the woman, the mom, was videotaping her child. He came
- 2:54Speaker 3: home and she said, did you say you both for Trump?
- 2:57Speaker 3: And he was remember that And he was like yeah,
- 3:01Speaker 3: and you lead you get out of this house. Remember
- 3:04Speaker 3: he was little shotting, Yeah, you go, you go. You
- 3:09Speaker 3: don't live here anymore, this little and he was like, no,
- 3:11Speaker 3: I don't like I don't like him, I don't like.
- 3:14Speaker 3: It was the saddest thing because I thought, okay, think
- 3:18Speaker 3: about the scene in the movie forty two about Jackie Robinson.
- 3:22Speaker 3: He was up to bat and the kid was like, oh,
- 3:25Speaker 3: you know, excited to see him. Do his thing, and
- 3:27Speaker 3: then all of a sudden, his dad yells out these
- 3:30Speaker 3: disparaging words, even the N word. Then all of a sudden,
- 3:34Speaker 3: the kid like looks at his dad and then he
- 3:36Speaker 3: looks out there, and then he starts with those mean
- 3:39Speaker 3: words and hateful comments, and it's and it was so
- 3:43Speaker 3: sad because innately he wanted to watch this talented player
- 3:48Speaker 3: do what he did, which was phenomenal, and yet because
- 3:53Speaker 3: of the influence of the hateful, bigoted father, he ended
- 3:57Speaker 3: up yelling and screaming with that same mean facebook kind
- 3:59Speaker 3: of like looking at the men around him. And this
- 4:02Speaker 3: was the same thing, I thought. Instead of the mom
- 4:04Speaker 3: opening up the dialogue, she's telling him, you don't live here,
- 4:08Speaker 3: and he's six, you don't live here anymore, get out
- 4:11Speaker 3: of my house. And no, I don't like him. I
- 4:13Speaker 3: don't like because he wants to stay in his home
- 4:15Speaker 3: at his own Benny wants to be with his mom.
- 4:17Speaker 3: So you know, it's one of those things that in
- 4:20Speaker 3: time we're on the right side of history. These people
- 4:24Speaker 3: will feel terrible. They will feel terrible about what they
- 4:27Speaker 3: did to the children, just like we talked about the
- 4:29Speaker 3: brown coats, the brown shirts in Nazi Germany. Right, Yeah,
- 4:33Speaker 3: you know they sided with they all innately. You have
- 4:36Speaker 3: to believe that they knew that this isn't right unless
- 4:40Speaker 3: they were all just brainwashed.
- 4:42Speaker 1: Well, and there's there may be a good aspect of
- 4:44Speaker 1: that that they are brainwashed. I mean again, you're talking
- 4:48Speaker 1: to kids who get their political opinions mostly from their parents,
- 4:53Speaker 1: somewhat from their peer group, right, but mostly from them.
- 4:55Speaker 2: Mostly hate is taught just as easy as love is taught.
- 4:59Speaker 2: Tall Laurance is taw It all starts at home, and
- 5:02Speaker 2: so anytime you see bullying, anytime, there's always something going
- 5:06Speaker 2: on at home. It's the same with these grown ups
- 5:09Speaker 2: that are so horrible to people that think differently than them.
- 5:12Speaker 2: Do we We have lots of friends that are on
- 5:14Speaker 2: the other side. There are lots of friends Democrats, but
- 5:17Speaker 2: I have a lot of friends that don't want to
- 5:18Speaker 2: be my friend because of the way I think, because
- 5:20Speaker 2: you but for Trump, because I vote for Trump.
- 5:22Speaker 3: But what I found so interesting Kimberly about that is
- 5:25Speaker 3: I found it interesting that the liberal kids already knew
- 5:28Speaker 3: about the candidate and that they hated him, whereas the
- 5:31Speaker 3: conservative kids were like, uh, she's vice president, She's like
- 5:35Speaker 3: it sounds like conservative parents don't push their politics.
- 5:40Speaker 1: Isn't the number one topic at the right.
- 5:41Speaker 2: You're right, Well, they're children. It's kind of like the
- 5:44Speaker 2: whole transgender movement, the whole gay like, don't talk to
- 5:46Speaker 2: your kids about sex when they're children, Right, you don't.
- 5:49Speaker 3: Do that prepared for it, they're not ready.
- 5:50Speaker 2: Same politics, don't talk about it. They're kids.
