- 0:00Speaker 1: We got a question from American mama's, dear mama's what's
- 0:02Speaker 1: wrong with Portland? Well, let's ask our American mama's mamma
- 0:18Speaker 1: and joining us now our American mama's Terry Edeville and
- 0:21Speaker 1: Kimberly Burlison. So Portland has kind of become the home
- 0:25Speaker 1: of Antifa. It has become the home of violent riots
- 0:29Speaker 1: against ice agents. It's just become this center for far
- 0:34Speaker 1: left political violence. Am I wrong in that? Because that's
- 0:38Speaker 1: the perception that you see from what's going on in
- 0:42Speaker 1: Portland politically.
- 0:44Speaker 2: It is the perception. But this is interesting. I just
- 0:46Speaker 2: got back from Portland. My brother in law, sister in law,
- 0:50Speaker 2: and nephew. They lived there, My nephew very very much
- 0:55Speaker 2: what you would picture, what you would think of when
- 0:58Speaker 2: you think of skater boy Pa. You know, great kid though,
- 1:03Speaker 2: great great kid. I mean I hate you know, great kid.
- 1:06Speaker 2: So we're talking about Portland. We're at their house and
- 1:09Speaker 2: he comes in to visit, and I'm just assuming he's
- 1:12Speaker 2: very as far left as you can get. He actually
- 1:14Speaker 2: lives down there were ices like yes lips where.
- 1:19Speaker 1: They've been keeping people up all night long with bullhorns
- 1:22Speaker 1: in there.
- 1:23Speaker 2: Yes, exactly, so she my sister in law. She says,
- 1:28Speaker 2: tell so and so, what you what you said about
- 1:31Speaker 2: your daughter in law when she posted that rest and
- 1:34Speaker 2: piece Charlie Kirk. So immediately I'm like, what are you doing?
- 1:37Speaker 2: Because I'm not going to talk politics around this kid.
- 1:39Speaker 2: You know what I mean, cause fights here exactly. So
- 1:42Speaker 2: I immediately started sharing the story about my daughter in law
- 1:45Speaker 2: posting rest in peace Kirk. She lost one hundred thousand followers.
- 1:48Speaker 2: She had pages and pages of people telling her to die.
- 1:51Speaker 2: It was horrible. Wow, this kid goes off on those people,
- 1:56Speaker 2: which shocks me. And then he goes on to say
- 1:59Speaker 2: this man just wanted dialogue. They called him a fascist.
- 2:03Speaker 2: They're the ones being fascist. So then I'm like, oh
- 2:06Speaker 2: my gosh, tell me more, like talk to me, you know,
- 2:08Speaker 2: because I can't believe this. So he starts talking about
- 2:11Speaker 2: what's going on down where he lives, and he said,
- 2:14Speaker 2: it's like Mayhem at times. It's crazy. And he said,
- 2:16Speaker 2: but it is like a group. It's a particular group.
- 2:20Speaker 2: He said, I used to think this way, but I'm
- 2:22Speaker 2: changing with things that I'm seeing. Well obviously with what
- 2:26Speaker 2: he was saying to me, he said, it's changing. He goes,
- 2:29Speaker 2: I know, it looks like it's really bad, and there
- 2:32Speaker 2: is a group that is like havoc out there, but
- 2:36Speaker 2: mine's you're changing. My generation is thinking. He's now thirty
- 2:40Speaker 2: two years old, and he's like and he goes, he goes,
- 2:43Speaker 2: I'm not a fan of Trump, but he's a good president.
- 2:47Speaker 2: I don't like his humor, but he does a good job.
- 2:51Speaker 2: And I was like, that's that's a good place to
- 2:52Speaker 2: be all you want.
- 2:53Speaker 1: Because it was one of the things that annoyed me
- 2:55Speaker 1: the most about Barack Obama's that he made me appreciate
- 2:58Speaker 1: Bill Clinton.
- 3:00Speaker 2: Exactly.
- 3:01Speaker 1: You know, it's very annoying to me.
- 3:04Speaker 2: So that's interesting that I thought it was very interesting too.
- 3:07Speaker 2: It was very interesting. I'm always excited when I hear
- 3:11Speaker 2: people that are their eyes are open, that thought one
- 3:14Speaker 2: way and then slowly, you know, I've seen all these
- 3:17Speaker 2: memes about people saying like what what turns you? And
- 3:19Speaker 2: they're showing pictures of the little girl on the on
- 3:22Speaker 2: the bus or the train, Charlie Kirk. You know, they're
- 3:25Speaker 2: showing all these things that made you start to red
- 3:27Speaker 2: peel basically. And so to hear somebody firsthand that I
- 3:32Speaker 2: know and talking with such sense and oh he's so
- 3:35Speaker 2: articulate and so smart, you know, and he's like, I
- 3:38Speaker 2: would say I am middle right, but I will not,
- 3:41Speaker 2: you know, I am this is when I'm wait.
- 3:44Speaker 1: So he said he's middle he said, I.
- 3:46Speaker 2: Am now middle right, and years ago he was far left.
- 3:51Speaker 3: Yes, I think that's happening more and more.
- 3:54Speaker 1: To me.
- 3:55Speaker 3: It is just a sign of the times. Thank god
- 3:58Speaker 3: for Elon Musk buying Twitter when he did.
- 4:01Speaker 1: It's a huge, huge game trap.
- 4:03Speaker 3: It is a huge game changer because these kids that
- 4:05Speaker 3: were only seeing things that the left was allowing them
- 4:08Speaker 3: to see on Twitter when Jack Dorsey had it, they're
- 4:11Speaker 3: now seeing all of it so they can judge for themselves.
- 4:14Speaker 3: So when they hear the mainstream media, you know, just
- 4:17Speaker 3: use the propaganda and just shove it down their throats,
- 4:22Speaker 3: and then they see the truth on X because people
- 4:24Speaker 3: are coming out and drove saying no, no, this is
- 4:26Speaker 3: actually what happens. It's kind of like when Charlie Kirk
- 4:29Speaker 3: was assassinated and people were coming out saying how racist
- 4:32Speaker 3: he was, how hateful he was. Yeah, and then others
- 4:34Speaker 3: were like, well, I'm a lefty and I actually wanted
- 4:39Speaker 3: to see what do you mean by contact. So I
- 4:41Speaker 3: watched the whole thing, and now.
- 4:43Speaker 1: If anybody watches the whole a whole Charlie Kirky have
- 4:47Speaker 1: to do. The curtains dropped absolutely. And you know, one
- 4:51Speaker 1: of the things that I've come to think is that
- 4:54Speaker 1: you can basically tell this person's politics by whether they're
- 4:58Speaker 1: getting their news from TikTok or not. If TikTok is
- 5:01Speaker 1: their main source of information, they're going to be far
- 5:04Speaker 1: left right. But if they're on Twitter, things are going
- 5:08Speaker 1: to be opening up. I find that fascinating. I've also wondered,
- 5:12Speaker 1: you know, with Antifa down at Ice night after night
- 5:16Speaker 1: after night, I've wondered how many people that were on
- 5:19Speaker 1: the left that lived in those neighborhoods have been like,
- 5:21Speaker 1: I've had enough.
- 5:21Speaker 2: They're sick of it. They're sick of it. Even a guy,
- 5:24Speaker 2: I don't know if you saw one of the reels,
- 5:25Speaker 2: but even one of the Antifa guys, A guy's in
- 5:27Speaker 2: his face, a black guy, and he's saying, you think
- 5:29Speaker 2: I want to be here? The ANTIPA guy, yeah, was
- 5:32Speaker 2: saying you think I want to be here?
- 5:33Speaker 3: Why is he there? Exact?
- 5:34Speaker 2: I'm like, is he being paid? That's what I think yes.
- 5:37Speaker 2: I think they're being paid well.
- 5:40Speaker 3: I feel like that if the elections are fair, because
- 5:42Speaker 3: I feel like they have not been fair for a
- 5:43Speaker 3: long long time. If elections are fair, I feel like
- 5:46Speaker 3: the midterms we're going to take it like big time.
- 5:49Speaker 1: So to Speaker Johnson, if you'd like to ask our
