• 0:00
  Speaker 1: We got a question for American Mamas. Dear Mamas, if
• 0:02
  Speaker 1: you're texting in public, is that still a private conversation?
• 0:06
  Speaker 2: Well, let's ask our American Mamas.
• 0:08
  Speaker 3: Mamas, Mamas, Mamas.
• 0:13
  Speaker 1: And I told me not to come.
• 0:16
  Speaker 2: She said, that ain't the way to happen, no.
• 0:21
  Speaker 1: And joining us now are American Mamas, Terry Nedeville and
• 0:23
  Speaker 1: Kimberly Burleson. You know, one of the things, so we
• 0:26
  Speaker 1: started American Ground Radio based off of conservative ground, which
• 0:29
  Speaker 1: was an organization Lewis and I were putting together to
• 0:31
  Speaker 1: try and reach people. And one of the things I
• 0:33
  Speaker 1: did in that, I created a course on George Washington's
• 0:37
  Speaker 1: rules of ethics, right? His rules of etiquette, excuse me.
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: So he would handwrite, he would practice his handwriting every day,
• 0:43
  Speaker 1: writing 130 some odd rules of etiquette, how to properly behave,
• 0:48
  Speaker 1: like don't pick fleas off of people in public and
• 0:50
  Speaker 1: stuff like that. Well, I then updated the list because
• 0:54
  Speaker 1: obviously we don't have the don't pick fleas up of
• 0:56
  Speaker 1: people in public. But one of the things I updated
• 0:58
  Speaker 1: his was don't read your private letters in front of
• 1:01
  Speaker 1: other people. And today I updated it to don't read
• 1:04
  Speaker 1: your text messages in front of other people. It's just
• 1:06
  Speaker 1: not polite.
• 1:07
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 1:09
  Speaker 1: So I'm reminded of that with this story where someone
• 1:11
  Speaker 1: was texting and someone else was watching.
• 1:14
  Speaker 3: Yeah, this elderly man on an airplane, he's texting a
• 1:17
  Speaker 3: co-worker and they're talking about another co-worker that they want
• 1:20
  Speaker 3: to get rid of and they used a slur to
• 1:23
  Speaker 3: describe this man. Well, a young person was seeing, of course,
• 1:27
  Speaker 3: because old people, we've got our font so big, but
• 1:30
  Speaker 3: she is videotaping this. She posted on social media and people,
• 1:34
  Speaker 3: of course, are ripping him. And it's very divided. The
• 1:39
  Speaker 3: conversation is because some people are like, this was a
• 1:41
  Speaker 3: private conversation that you just intruded on. And other people
• 1:44
  Speaker 3: were like, well, he needs to be called out. You
• 1:46
  Speaker 3: can't use that term. And I thought, Can you imagine
• 1:50
  Speaker 3: if everybody heard our private conversations with what we said,
• 1:54
  Speaker 3: if we're frustrated, if we're angry, or, or if we
• 1:56
  Speaker 3: walked around with a sign over our head that had
• 1:58
  Speaker 3: our inner thoughts, we would all be hated.
• 2:01
  Speaker 2: You know, uh, Wendy made a good point about this.
• 2:04
  Speaker 2: We were talking about this earlier and Stephen's wife, Wendy said,
• 2:07
  Speaker 2: she said, think about this. Let's put this in perspective. Yeah,
• 2:10
  Speaker 2: that was rude. He said, he said something antisemitic and
• 2:13
  Speaker 2: it was terrible. And this girl, um, put it all online,
• 2:18
  Speaker 2: and people are losing their minds. Yet, you've got the
• 2:21
  Speaker 2: Lindsay Clancy trial, and you have some people who are
• 2:25
  Speaker 2: devastated over a word more than the fact that this
• 2:29
  Speaker 2: woman killed her three children.
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: Right. Yeah.
• 2:32
  Speaker 2: I mean, where she said, where are the priorities?
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: Why aren't we outing the governor of Massachusetts for having
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: just signed an abortion law up until delivery?
• 2:40
  Speaker 2: Yes.
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: That that, you know, taking a baby who's nine months and,
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: you know, maybe even a couple of weeks over delivery
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: just hasn't delivery due date just hasn't been born yet.
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: We can kill that.
• 2:50
  Speaker 2: I can't believe that.
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: Yeah. But but a guy texting a slur. Yeah. Now
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: now we're outraged.
• 2:56
  Speaker 2: Right. I don't understand it. I don't know how we
• 2:58
  Speaker 2: change it, but I was watching, I like to watch
• 3:01
  Speaker 2: these little law shows, Megyn Kelly crime shows, and they
• 3:05
  Speaker 2: have Matt Murphy, who you might know is one of
• 3:07
  Speaker 2: the attorneys we all saw on Dateline for years and years.
• 3:10
  Speaker 2: Just a good stand-up guy. Doesn't even cuss. He's just
• 3:13
  Speaker 2: really awesome. But he was talking about how they were
• 3:16
  Speaker 2: talking about law where you could get someone's text messages.
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: Yes.
• 3:20
  Speaker 2: And he said, you know, as good of a life
• 3:23
  Speaker 2: as I live, I'm on a text thread with my
• 3:27
  Speaker 2: high school buddies. And if anybody saw that thread, it
• 3:32
  Speaker 2: wouldn't be good. Some of us would be divorced. I'm
• 3:36
  Speaker 2: sure they talk about women sometimes. So his point was,
• 3:39
  Speaker 2: if you open this up, if you look, it's like
• 3:41
  Speaker 2: looking at someone's mail. You don't do that.
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: And if I would.
• 3:46
  Speaker 2: If I were the guy, I'd say, okay, let me
• 3:48
  Speaker 2: see your phone. I'd love to go through your text
• 3:51
  Speaker 2: messages and put them out there and show how good
• 3:54
  Speaker 2: you are. It's kind of like that Carmelo case where
• 3:56
  Speaker 2: now we're seeing text messages.
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: Carmelo Anthony, his old text that wasn't admitted into court.
• 4:01
  Speaker 2: Right. And now you get it. You're like, that dude
• 4:04
  Speaker 2: belongs behind bars forever. Yeah. He basically said he was
• 4:08
  Speaker 2: ready to go stab somebody. He was going to stab
• 4:10
  Speaker 2: his girlfriend.
• 4:11
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 4:11
  Speaker 2: Somebody's going to get stabbed that day.
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: He was stalking his girlfriend. He wanted to stab someone
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: and lick their blood off of his knife. Yeah.
• 4:17
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: Yeah, that was in his text messages.
• 4:20
  Speaker 2: That's premeditated.
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: But I haven't heard outrage over his text messages.
• 4:26
  Speaker 2: No, no.
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: But a guy using a racial slur on an airplane.
• 4:28
  Speaker 2: People are losing their mind, wanting to cancel in.
• 4:30
  Speaker 3: Well, we've been talking about social contagions this week, and
• 4:33
  Speaker 3: that's what happens. It's like a gang-up mentality. You know,
• 4:35
  Speaker 3: someone posts it, and then everybody's ganging up on him.
• 4:38
  Speaker 3: That's what I don't like.
• 4:40
  Speaker 2: It's that virtue signaling. I'm on your side. I'm on
• 4:43
  Speaker 2: your side left. I'm doing... You know, we're going to
• 4:45
  Speaker 2: put this out there. We're going to absolutely... demolish this
• 4:48
  Speaker 2: guy and his character, hopefully take out his career, change
• 4:52
  Speaker 2: his life for the worse.
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: Are the same people upset at Zoran Mamdani's wife for
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: celebrating October 7th?
• 4:57
  Speaker 3: No, no, no, they don't care.
• 4:59
  Speaker 2: You don't hear about it because they don't share it.
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: I don't hear that. But we're getting a guy having
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: a private conversation on his cell phone on an airplane. Now,
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: you do need to be, I guess this is a
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: warning to everybody else, but isn't it an invasion of
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: his privacy for her to be videotaping what's on his
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: cell phone?
• 5:16
  Speaker 3: Absolutely.
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: In what other scenario would that have been okay?
• 5:20
  Speaker 3: Exactly. And why is it always one side that's doing
• 5:23
  Speaker 3: that kind of thing? Because it does seem to be
• 5:25
  Speaker 3: that way, in my opinion.
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm not sure you have a whole bunch of
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: conservatives recording someone else's on their cell phone.
• 5:32
  Speaker 2: Or going to rally around somebody like this. Like, you know, like,
• 5:37
  Speaker 2: I'm really trying to do the women out there. And
• 5:40
  Speaker 2: almost guarantee it's what it means.
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: Because they are rabid.
• 5:45
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
