  Speaker 1: let's ask around American mama's ama and joining us now
• 0:20
  Speaker 1: our American mamas Terry Edeville and Kimberly Burlison. Okay, So,
• 0:24
  Speaker 1: Terrence Williams, he was part of the Black voters, Black
• 0:27
  Speaker 1: Voices for Trump right back with Cel Bryant, Danien Brelli.
• 0:33
  Speaker 1: I guess diamond and silk back in the day Hodge

  Speaker 1: twins that type of thing. Right.
• 0:37
  Speaker 2: He is a young, young courageous because he got a
• 0:40
  Speaker 2: lot of backlash from his community.
• 0:42
  Speaker 1: Yeah, and so he's said he was asked, what's what's
• 0:45
  Speaker 1: wrong with America today? Or what does America missing?
• 0:49
  Speaker 3: I actually saw him post this, okay, and so I
• 0:52
  Speaker 3: loved reading all the comments, and I'm so curious what
• 0:55
  Speaker 3: y'all think is Well, there are there are some that
• 0:58
  Speaker 3: were like absolutely over but I'm curious with y'all. I
• 1:02
  Speaker 3: want to hear what you before I tell you what
• 1:03
  Speaker 3: the overall answer was. Oh okay, what is your answer?
• 1:06
  Speaker 3: What do you think? He said? One word? Use one word?
• 1:09
  Speaker 2: I would say patriotism.
• 1:11
  Speaker 3: Oh okay, fathers.
• 1:14
  Speaker 1: Okay, the absolute statistical root of almost every single problem
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: in America comes back to a lack of fathers.
• 1:20
  Speaker 3: Morality, morality, The big one was accountability consequences. People feel
• 1:26
  Speaker 3: like that's what's missing right now in America today.
• 1:29
  Speaker 1: Well, that's because they grow up without dads.
• 1:31
  Speaker 3: I think you're right. He's got to be right. I
• 1:34
  Speaker 3: think gotta be he's telling Charlie Kirk. But I agree.
• 1:37
  Speaker 2: So it's so in other words, do you feel like
• 1:41
  Speaker 2: that it's like an entitlement type thing like this? Does
• 1:47
  Speaker 2: it equate to that, Like people are so entitled that
• 1:49
  Speaker 2: they don't feel like that they have to suffer any
• 1:53
  Speaker 2: because they'll say that there's anything wrong with what they
• 1:55
  Speaker 2: did because they feel entitled to it.
• 1:56
  Speaker 3: I don't you know what, lindsay our youngest sister, and
• 1:59
  Speaker 3: we're talking about this, and she said, you know, she
• 2:01
  Speaker 3: substitute teaches sometimes, and she said, in the school system,
• 2:05
  Speaker 3: there are no consequences none. She goes, They just kind
• 2:08
  Speaker 3: of like pacify these kids, and she goes. And then
• 2:11
  Speaker 3: these kids grow up and they go into the real
• 2:12
  Speaker 3: world and they can't handle when real consequences happen in
• 2:16
  Speaker 3: their life. So what do they do resort to take
• 2:19
  Speaker 3: in things, alcohol, drugs, whatever, and none, whatever it is,
• 2:23
  Speaker 3: then whatever she said, consequences are so crucial to the
• 2:26
  Speaker 3: development of yourself.
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: Yeah, And for me growing up, consequences were always like
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: a problem to solve, you know, that whole that whole thing.
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: People would say, well, it's easier to get forgiveness than
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: permission when you're growing up in my house, that was
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: not the case. So what I simply learned was to
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: get the permission for the outrageous thing I wanted to
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: do in the first place, and then I can go
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: do that. But think about that, But that helped me
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: manage the world.
• 2:51
  Speaker 2: Well, right, I mean that's the best way to do it.
• 2:53
  Speaker 2: I think we you know, we all had consequences, you
• 2:55
  Speaker 2: know at that point. I think also that back in
• 3:00
  Speaker 2: that day, if you look at different, uh, the styling
• 3:03
  Speaker 2: of coaches and teachers completely different. And that's because the
• 3:08
  Speaker 2: teachers and the coaches didn't have to suffer the consequences
• 3:11
  Speaker 2: of a kid going home and telling the parents. Because
• 3:14
  Speaker 2: back then, if if the kid came home and said
• 3:16
  Speaker 2: I got five lashes from the coach or from the principal, yeah,
• 3:21
  Speaker 2: parents say, now you're getting five more because they trusted
• 3:23
  Speaker 2: the adults. You you know what I'm saying. So then something shifted,
• 3:28
  Speaker 2: and now you see these videos of these kids berating
• 3:32
  Speaker 2: their teachers all on video and even touching them, hitting them,
• 3:37
  Speaker 2: punching them, and the teachers and the coaches can do
• 3:40
  Speaker 2: nothing back. And that's because we went through this weird
• 3:43
  Speaker 2: period where well, you're right, you're right. I don't know
• 3:48
  Speaker 2: how to get back to think.
• 3:49
  Speaker 3: About when you're a child. So when you're it's very
• 3:51
  Speaker 3: hard to see unfairness. When somebody gets something that you
• 3:55
  Speaker 3: don't and you struggle, and your parents will say that's life, Yes,
• 3:58
  Speaker 3: that's life. It doesn't go way. As adults, it is
• 4:01
  Speaker 3: hard to see things that are unfair. We never outgrow that.
• 4:06
  Speaker 3: It's very frustrating, and I think as Americans. When I
• 4:08
  Speaker 3: was reading those answers, I believe I was hearing people
• 4:11
  Speaker 3: say talking about the Epstein List, the people that have
• 4:15
  Speaker 3: done bad things, Hillary Clinton, all these people that have
• 4:17
  Speaker 3: done horrific things, there are no consequences, no accountability.
• 4:21
  Speaker 2: What that just reminded me of something. It was one
• 4:23
  Speaker 2: of the you know, I have several of these time
• 4:25
  Speaker 2: periods when Dad really taught me something that stayed with
• 4:29
  Speaker 2: me forever. I remember, you know, my best friends in
• 4:31
  Speaker 2: high school were Jcaqueline and Adrian, and every fall they
• 4:34
  Speaker 2: were wealthy, so they got tons of clothes. They would
• 4:37
  Speaker 2: call me over to come look at you know, they'd
• 4:39
  Speaker 2: have a style show and I'd be there sitting on
• 4:41
  Speaker 2: the bed like, oh my gosh, that's amazing, and I
• 4:44
  Speaker 2: was jealous. And for whatever reason, this particular year, I
• 4:47
  Speaker 2: went home and I Dad said, I, you know, kind
• 4:50
  Speaker 2: of huffy, and Dad said, What's what's wrong with you?
• 4:53
  Speaker 2: I said, I'm so tired of it. I'm so tired
• 4:55
  Speaker 2: of Jacqueline and Adrian. Every year they get all these
• 4:57
  Speaker 2: nice clothes and they know that I don't have have
• 5:00
  Speaker 2: just tons of clothes and started the school year, and
• 5:03
  Speaker 2: you know, I was just whining, thinking he was going
• 5:05
  Speaker 2: to be like, yeah, that's ridiculous. And he looked at
• 5:08
  Speaker 2: me and goes, whoo WHOA. I guess I'm I'm really disappointed.
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: And I was like.
• 5:16
  Speaker 2: And who And he said, I guess I'm disappointed because
• 5:19
  Speaker 2: I'm so proud that you're the friend that your friends
• 5:22
  Speaker 2: call to come and be excited for them during their
• 5:25
  Speaker 2: success and when they have good things happen. For them
• 5:27
  Speaker 2: that you're the one they can count on to not
• 5:30
  Speaker 2: be jealous and to be very genuinely happy for them.
• 5:32
  Speaker 2: And I guess it just kind of hurts my heart
• 5:35
  Speaker 2: a little bit that that's not exactly Oh.
• 5:39
  Speaker 3: Yes it is.
• 5:39
  Speaker 2: It is who I am.
• 5:40
  Speaker 3: I'm just being jealous, Dad, I really am.
• 5:42
  Speaker 2: Oh yeah yeah. And that to feel like that I
• 5:47
  Speaker 2: had disappointed my dad or he looked at me differently
• 5:49
  Speaker 2: was absolute punishment. And I thought, I will never be
• 5:54
  Speaker 2: that jealous girl ever again. I'll be happy for anybody
• 5:57
  Speaker 2: and everybody for everything that they have.
