Transcript
- 0:00Speaker 1: We got a question for American mama's. Dear mama's, can
- 0:03Speaker 1: you believe people are dressing up as assassinated Charlie Kirk
- 0:06Speaker 1: for Halloween. Well, let's ask our American mama's, mamma and
- 0:24Speaker 1: joining us now our American mama Terry Nedderville. So I
- 0:28Speaker 1: saw these pictures, I really couldn't. This is so grotesque.
- 0:31Speaker 1: So these folks are wearing the white freedom shirt, although
- 0:34Speaker 1: I've seen some that spell freedom f R E E
- 0:37Speaker 1: d U m B. And then they always have blood,
- 0:42Speaker 1: you know, fake costume blood coming out of their neck.
- 0:45Speaker 1: Sometimes they've got a bandage there, sometimes they don't. And
- 0:49Speaker 1: that's their Halloween costume this year.
- 0:52Speaker 2: It's probably the most disturbing thing I have seen in
- 0:56Speaker 2: a really long time. It's one of those things is
- 0:59Speaker 2: jar and they do it for that reason I meaned
- 1:04Speaker 2: it is. It's very jarring, but I think one of
- 1:07Speaker 2: the worst. Like there's a Facebook page that I found
- 1:10Speaker 2: and they're joking about it. They're they're all making you know,
- 1:14Speaker 2: they're given advice on how to do it, you know,
- 1:17Speaker 2: how to do one's like, you know, and I'm going
- 1:19Speaker 2: to be a bullet. And they're laughing about their mocking it. Well,
- 1:23Speaker 2: the worst was on Instagram and this person it's a
- 1:26Speaker 2: picture of a white freedom shirt with the microphone and
- 1:29Speaker 2: then like streamers. It looks like a little pompom with
- 1:32Speaker 2: long streamers. And he said, this is just in time
- 1:36Speaker 2: for Halloween. The Charlie Kirk costume. When Charlie's three year
- 1:39Speaker 2: old heard the gunshot, she was frightened. She ran towards
- 1:43Speaker 2: her father, that was the rumor, for safety and comfort,
- 1:46Speaker 2: only to find him on the ground bleeding. So I
- 1:48Speaker 2: might accessorize and add a doll with some blood on
- 1:50Speaker 2: it to complete this fun costume. And then you have
- 1:53Speaker 2: people on there like, right on, let's do it. It's
- 1:56Speaker 2: so disturbing, it's so vile. It makes me angry, It
- 1:59Speaker 2: makes it This is one of those things that I
- 2:01Speaker 2: think that should be I mean, banned. I know you
- 2:04Speaker 2: can't do that here in America, but guess what, all
- 2:07Speaker 2: the forbidden costumes all and these are forbidden for a reason.
- 2:11Speaker 2: And I get it, Like the Holocaust, I wrote some
- 2:13Speaker 2: of them down, the Holocaust victim, transphobic costume. You can't
- 2:16Speaker 2: make fun of them. Anything involving blackface, cultural stereotypes, terrorists,
- 2:22Speaker 2: Bill m And this is all according to Good Housekeeping,
- 2:25Speaker 2: these are the rules you can These are the most
- 2:27Speaker 2: vile you know you.
- 2:29Speaker 1: So Good Housekeeping hasn't said, you know, you probably shouldn't
- 2:31Speaker 1: dressify that an assassination victim. Right.
- 2:34Speaker 2: I don't even know if they This article may have
- 2:36Speaker 2: been a couple of years old, but but this, this
- 2:41Speaker 2: would be as disturbing as if somebody went as the
- 2:46Speaker 2: assassinated Martin Luther King, Gie Right or John F. Kennedy
- 2:50Speaker 2: or Bobby This would be disturbing no matter if it's
- 2:53Speaker 2: a leftist or right somebody that gets, you know, assassinated.
- 2:58Speaker 1: An actual figure, actual person, to be celebrating a specific
- 3:04Speaker 1: person who's been murdered recently. Yeah, as if it was
- 3:09Speaker 1: you know, you're going to go out and grab candy, Yeah,
- 3:11Speaker 1: and addresses this person.
- 3:12Speaker 2: I hope that these people that go out there dressed
- 3:16Speaker 2: in this bile manner, I hope that they get admonished.
- 3:20Speaker 2: I hope people say something, you know, and I hope
- 3:25Speaker 2: they don't laugh. I mean, it's hard to imagine, but
- 3:27Speaker 2: looking at these pages, people are just so One lady
- 3:31Speaker 2: was like, gosh, you know, you make sure you get
- 3:33Speaker 2: the big gums. I mean, they're starting to make fun
- 3:35Speaker 2: of it, and I just I don't understand where we
- 3:40Speaker 2: got to this point where we can behave in this
- 3:43Speaker 2: way and you know, mocking something like that. And then
- 3:46Speaker 2: I think, you know, I was talking to Colleen Avaloni,
- 3:50Speaker 2: Lewis's wife, and she said something that kind of gave
- 3:52Speaker 2: me a little bit of perspective and hope. She said,
- 3:55Speaker 2: you know, Terry, when Charlie was assassinated, they thought they
- 3:58Speaker 2: were going to shut him down. They thought they weren't
- 4:01Speaker 2: gonna you know, that's it, his voice is gone. But
- 4:03Speaker 2: what happened was hundreds of thousands rose up and they
- 4:07Speaker 2: became a Charlie Kirk. Hundreds of thousands of people wanted
- 4:11Speaker 2: to know about Charlie Kirk. So she said, so maybe, maybe,
- 4:15Speaker 2: just maybe if people go out and if they see
- 4:18Speaker 2: someone like this and they're like, wait, who is that?
- 4:20Speaker 2: Who is he trying to be? That, they will look
- 4:22Speaker 2: into who this person is. And she, you know, in
- 4:25Speaker 2: other words, she was saying, what's meant for evil, may
- 4:28Speaker 2: God use it for good?
- 4:30Speaker 1: Well, and that's kind of where I'm sitting at this point,
- 4:32Speaker 1: because yeah, I would, man, my flesh wants vengeance on this.
- 4:41Speaker 1: But if we could just follow Charlie's example. I think
- 4:45Speaker 1: he would say that what we should be doing is
- 4:47Speaker 1: praying for these people because the scriptures, so you are
- 4:49Speaker 1: supposed to pray for your enemies. Obviously, if they're celebrating
- 4:52Speaker 1: the death of a conservative and we're conservatives, why wouldn't
- 4:56Speaker 1: they celebrate our deaths too, and so that would make
- 5:00Speaker 1: someone our enemy, I guess on paper, so we should
- 5:04Speaker 1: be praying for them. And you say, you know what,
- 5:08Speaker 1: I guess. My hope is if they go out wearing this,
- 5:11Speaker 1: what I want is for them to be convicted, not
- 5:13Speaker 1: in a court of law, but in their heart, that
- 5:16Speaker 1: what they're doing is wrong, that they recognize in the
- 5:20Speaker 1: middle of all of it, that this was awful and
- 5:24Speaker 1: that this is satanic behavior, celebrating something that the enemy wants,
- 5:30Speaker 1: not celebrating something that God wants.
- 5:32Speaker 2: You're right, Steven, And I also hope that parents who
- 5:36Speaker 2: have little ones that might see this use it as
- 5:39Speaker 2: a learning tool as to how we don't behave in society,
- 5:43Speaker 2: how evil and cruel this is. In our family, we
- 5:48Speaker 2: don't celebrate someone's death, no matter who that is. In
- 5:51Speaker 2: our family. We look at these people, we feel sorry
- 5:54Speaker 2: for them because something's missing in their lives. You know,
- 5:56Speaker 2: when you have little ones, oftentimes you'll use something to
- 6:01Speaker 2: trigger that memory you know where they'll forever go. I
- 6:05Speaker 2: remember the time of like, for example, this is so minute,
- 6:08Speaker 2: but you're at a restaurant and your children are there
- 6:11Speaker 2: with some other friends who are not behaving, and you
- 6:13Speaker 2: get in the car and you're like, I'm so thankful
- 6:14Speaker 2: I have a kid that behaves and knows that other
- 6:16Speaker 2: people around. I hope that parents use this as a
- 6:19Speaker 2: time to say thank God, I have you who has
- 6:21Speaker 2: empathy and love for others and would never ever do
- 6:24Speaker 2: something as vile as that.
