• 0:00
  Speaker 1: We've got a question for our American mamas. Dear mamas,
• 0:02
  Speaker 1: if you're texting in public, is that still a private conversation? Well,
• 0:05
  Speaker 1: let's ask our American mamas.
• 0:08
  Speaker 2: Mama, mama, mama.
• 0:13
  Speaker 1: Mama told me not to come. She said, that ain't the.
• 0:18
  Speaker 3: Way to happen, no.
• 0:20
  Speaker 1: And joining us now are American Mamas, Terry Nedeville and
• 0:22
  Speaker 1: Kimberly Burleson. You know, one of the things, so we
• 0:25
  Speaker 1: started American Ground Radio based off of conservative ground, which
• 0:27
  Speaker 1: was an organization Lewis and I were putting together to
• 0:30
  Speaker 1: try and reach people. And one of the things I
• 0:32
  Speaker 1: did in that, I created a course on George Washington's
• 0:36
  Speaker 1: rules of ethics, right? His rules of etiquette, excuse me.
• 0:39
  Speaker 1: So he would handwrite, he would practice his handwriting every day,
• 0:42
  Speaker 1: writing 130 some odd rules of etiquette, how to properly behave,
• 0:47
  Speaker 1: like don't pick fleas off of people in public and
• 0:49
  Speaker 1: stuff like that. Well, I then updated the list because
• 0:53
  Speaker 1: obviously we don't have the don't pick fleas up of
• 0:55
  Speaker 1: people in public. But one of the things I updated
• 0:57
  Speaker 1: his was don't read your private letters in front of
• 1:00
  Speaker 1: other people. And today I updated it to don't read
• 1:03
  Speaker 1: your text messages in front of other people. It's just
• 1:05
  Speaker 1: not polite.
• 1:06
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 1:08
  Speaker 1: So I'm reminded of that with this story where someone
• 1:10
  Speaker 1: was texting and someone else was watching.
• 1:13
  Speaker 2: Yeah, this elderly man on an airplane, he's texting a
• 1:15
  Speaker 2: co-worker and they're talking about another co-worker that they want
• 1:19
  Speaker 2: to get rid of and they used a slur. to
• 1:22
  Speaker 2: describe this man. Well, a young person was seeing, of course,
• 1:26
  Speaker 2: because old people, we've got our font so big, but
• 1:29
  Speaker 2: she is videotaping this. She posted on social media and people,
• 1:33
  Speaker 2: of course, are ripping him. And it's very divided. The
• 1:38
  Speaker 2: conversation is because some people are like, this was a
• 1:40
  Speaker 2: private conversation that you just intruded on. And other people
• 1:43
  Speaker 2: were like, well, he needs to be called out. You
• 1:45
  Speaker 2: can't use that term. And I thought, Can you imagine
• 1:49
  Speaker 2: if everybody heard our private conversations with what we said,
• 1:53
  Speaker 2: if we're frustrated, if we're angry, or, or if we
• 1:55
  Speaker 2: walked around with a sign over our head that had
• 1:57
  Speaker 2: our inner thoughts, we would all be hated.
• 2:00
  Speaker 3: You know, uh, Wendy made a good point about this.
• 2:02
  Speaker 3: We were talking about this earlier and Stephen's wife, Wendy said,
• 2:05
  Speaker 3: she said, think about this. Let's put this in perspective. Yeah,
• 2:09
  Speaker 3: that was rude. He said, he said something anti-Semitic and
• 2:12
  Speaker 3: it was terrible. And this girl, um, Put it all
• 2:17
  Speaker 3: online and people are losing their minds. Yet, you've got
• 2:20
  Speaker 3: the Lindsay Clancy trial and you have some people who
• 2:23
  Speaker 3: are devastated over a word more than the fact that
• 2:27
  Speaker 3: this woman killed her three children.
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: Right. Yeah.
• 2:31
  Speaker 3: She said, where are the priorities?
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: Why aren't we outing the governor of Massachusetts for having
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: just signed an abortion law up until delivery?
• 2:39
  Speaker 3: Yes.
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: That taking a baby who's nine months and maybe even
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: a couple of weeks over delivery due date just hasn't
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: been born yet. We can kill that baby.
• 2:49
  Speaker 3: I can't believe that. Yeah.
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: But a guy texting a slur, now we're outraged.
• 2:54
  Speaker 2: Right. Right.
• 2:55
  Speaker 3: I don't understand it. I don't know how we change it,
• 2:57
  Speaker 3: but I was watching, I like to watch these little
• 3:00
  Speaker 3: law shows, Megyn Kelly crime shows, and they have Matt Murphy,
• 3:05
  Speaker 3: who you might know is one of the attorneys we
• 3:07
  Speaker 3: all saw on Dateline for years and years. Just a
• 3:09
  Speaker 3: good standup guy. Doesn't even cuss. He's just really awesome.
• 3:13
  Speaker 3: But he was talking about how they were talking about
• 3:15
  Speaker 3: a law where you could, you could get someone's text messages,
• 3:18
  Speaker 3: you know? And he said, you know, as good of
• 3:22
  Speaker 3: a life as I live, I'm on a text thread
• 3:26
  Speaker 3: with my high school buddies. And if anybody saw that thread,
• 3:31
  Speaker 3: it wouldn't be good. Some of us would be divorced.
• 3:34
  Speaker 3: I'm sure they talk about women sometimes. So his point was,
• 3:38
  Speaker 3: if you open this up, if you look, it's like
• 3:39
  Speaker 3: looking at someone's mail. You don't do that.
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: And if I would.
• 3:45
  Speaker 3: If I were the guy, I'd say, okay, let me
• 3:47
  Speaker 3: see your phone. I'd love to go through your text
• 3:50
  Speaker 3: messages and put them out there and show how good
• 3:53
  Speaker 3: you are. It's kind of like that Carmelo case where
• 3:55
  Speaker 3: now we're seeing text messages.
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: Carmelo Anthony?
• 3:56
  Speaker 3: Yes.
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: Oh, his old text that wasn't admitted into court.
• 4:00
  Speaker 3: Right. And now you get it. You're like, that dude
• 4:03
  Speaker 3: belongs behind bars forever.
• 4:05
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 4:06
  Speaker 3: He basically said he was ready to go stab somebody.
• 4:08
  Speaker 3: He was going to stab his girlfriend.
• 4:09
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 4:10
  Speaker 3: Somebody's going to get stabbed that day.
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: He was stalking his girlfriend. He wanted to stab someone
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: and lick their blood off of his knife.
• 4:15
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: Yeah. Yeah, that was in his text messages.
• 4:19
  Speaker 3: That's premeditated.
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: But I haven't heard outrage over his text messages.
• 4:24
  Speaker 3: No, no.
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: But a guy using a racial slur on an airplane.
• 4:27
  Speaker 3: People are losing their mind, wanting to cancel in.
• 4:29
  Speaker 2: Well, we've been talking about social contagions this week, and
• 4:31
  Speaker 2: that's what happens. It's like a gang up mentality. You know,
• 4:34
  Speaker 2: someone posts it, and then everybody's ganging up on him.
• 4:37
  Speaker 2: That's what I don't like.
• 4:38
  Speaker 3: It's that virtue signaling. I'm on your side. I'm on
• 4:41
  Speaker 3: your side left. I'm doing, you know, we're going to
• 4:44
  Speaker 3: put this out there. We're going to absolutely... demolish this
• 4:47
  Speaker 3: guy and his character, hopefully take out his career, change
• 4:51
  Speaker 3: his life for the worse.
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: Are the same people upset at Zoran Mamdani's wife for
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: celebrating October 7th?
• 4:56
  Speaker 2: No, no, no, they don't care.
• 4:57
  Speaker 3: You don't hear about it.
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I don't hear that. But we're getting a guy
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: having a private conversation on his cell phone on an airplane.
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: Now you do need to be, I guess this is
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: a warning to everybody else, but my, my, what, isn't
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: it an invasion of his privacy for her to be
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: videotaping what's on his cell phone?
• 5:15
  Speaker 2: Absolutely.
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: And what other scenario would that have been? Okay.
• 5:18
  Speaker 3: Exactly.
• 5:19
  Speaker 2: And why is it always one side?
• 5:21
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 5:21
  Speaker 2: That's doing that kind of thing. Cause it does seem
• 5:24
  Speaker 2: to be that way in my opinion.
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: Yeah. I'm not sure you have a whole bunch of
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: conservatives recording someone else's on their cell phone.
• 5:31
  Speaker 3: Or going to rally around somebody like this, like you,
• 5:35
  Speaker 3: You know, like the Lindsay Clancy, you see the women
• 5:37
  Speaker 3: out there, you can almost guarantee which way they lean
• 5:41
  Speaker 3: because they are rabid, you know.
• 5:44
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 5:44
  Speaker 3: It's insane.
