  Speaker 1: We got a question for American Mamas. Dear Mamas, why
• 0:01
  Speaker 1: do so many Democrat women end up being accused of
• 0:03
  Speaker 1: creating a toxic work environment?
• 0:06
  Speaker 2: Well, let's ask our American Mamas.
• 0:21
  Speaker 1: And joining us now, our American Mama, Terry Netterville.
• 0:25
  Speaker 2: I think one of the....
• 0:28
  Speaker 1: One of the poster children for this is Katie Porter.
• 0:32
  Speaker 1: She was Congresswoman from California, caught on video just absolutely
• 0:36
  Speaker 1: berating her staff.
• 0:38
  Speaker 2: I remember, yeah.
• 0:39
  Speaker 1: And she ended up resigning from Congress and then decided
• 0:43
  Speaker 1: to run for governor in California, which also failed. But
• 0:48
  Speaker 1: you do kind of see this Nancy Pelosi. She's been
• 0:51
  Speaker 1: accused of creating a toxic work environment. There have been others.
• 0:54
  Speaker 2: Why?
• 0:54
  Speaker 1: Why is this such a trend?
• 0:56
  Speaker 2: I don't know. Other than sometimes these women that are
• 1:00
  Speaker 2: in power, and I think about Slotskin. There's this one
• 1:05
  Speaker 2: senator that just grilled Marco Rubio. I was reading the
• 1:10
  Speaker 2: other day about this Democrat candidate for senator.
• 1:15
  Speaker 1: Out of Alaska.
• 1:16
  Speaker 2: Yeah, out of Alaska.
• 1:17
  Speaker 1: Mary Patola. Yeah.
• 1:19
  Speaker 2: Well, she's been accused of not only saying inappropriate words
• 1:23
  Speaker 2: that we don't say, like retard or F-A-G-G-O-T.
• 1:26
  Speaker 1: Okay.
• 1:27
  Speaker 2: But she's also been accused of, like, shoving her staff and, like,
• 1:33
  Speaker 2: just throwing papers off of her desk and, you know,
• 1:36
  Speaker 2: kind of like Katie Porter when she told her staffer,
• 1:39
  Speaker 2: get out of my effing shot. Right. You know, and
• 1:42
  Speaker 2: I think that For whatever reason, and we don't, the
• 1:46
  Speaker 2: only other person I could think of that could kind of,
• 1:49
  Speaker 2: on the Republican side, I can see being this way
• 1:52
  Speaker 2: is Nancy Mace. When she gets upset at somebody, I
• 1:55
  Speaker 2: can see her coming back. But there's this thing about power.
• 2:00
  Speaker 2: When you're given power and you receive all that that
• 2:06
  Speaker 2: entails back, you sometimes make the wrong decision and you
• 2:10
  Speaker 2: start treating people like they are beneath you. Right. Like
• 2:14
  Speaker 2: they are less than you. And you can get away
• 2:16
  Speaker 2: with it because they don't want to ruffle the feathers.
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: Right, because you have power.
• 2:20
  Speaker 2: Yeah, but what really tells someone's character is, When you're
• 2:24
  Speaker 2: in power, how you treat the people beneath you.
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: This is the book I'm working on, Power Causes Brain Damage.
• 2:32
  Speaker 2: Yes.
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: That when you get power and you think you deserve
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: the power you have, you lose function in the part
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: of the brain that controls empathy. And so that's what
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: you're talking about here. Like the reason why you're willing
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: to berate your staff is because you think you deserve
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: the power you have.
• 2:46
  Speaker 2: And you know you won't get blowback. And if you do,
• 2:48
  Speaker 2: then you can fire them. You have all of the power.
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: Right.
• 2:51
  Speaker 2: And it's so unbecoming. It's so ugly. I cannot imagine
• 2:56
  Speaker 2: doing this myself. I don't care how much power I had.
• 2:58
  Speaker 2: There's just no way.
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: Right.
• 3:00
  Speaker 2: I could tell a lot about somebody by the way
• 3:02
  Speaker 2: they treat a server at a table in a restaurant.
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: Very much so.
• 3:06
  Speaker 2: And I'm turned off if they treat them as if
• 3:09
  Speaker 2: they are beneath them. You know, someone that was a waitress.
• 3:12
  Speaker 2: You know, everyone has a reason for having the job
• 3:15
  Speaker 2: that they have. Right. But I can gauge someone on that.
• 3:20
  Speaker 2: But when it comes to liberal women, there was a
• 3:23
  Speaker 2: video and there were these two guys on this side
• 3:27
  Speaker 2: of the camera. You can't see their faces. Yeah, can't
• 3:28
  Speaker 2: see the guys. And they are anti-abortion activists at this school. Okay.
• 3:34
  Speaker 2: This girl walks up and she's smiling and she's like,
• 3:38
  Speaker 2: hey guys, wants to shake their hands. And she's like,
• 3:43
  Speaker 2: so what are you doing here? And they said, well,
• 3:45
  Speaker 2: we're anti-abortion activists. Oh, really? I really think you're so
• 3:49
  Speaker 2: big and tough. She goes into this entire tirade and
• 3:53
  Speaker 2: says she's going to call the cops. She's doing it
• 3:55
  Speaker 2: all with a smile on her face. And she's like,
• 3:59
  Speaker 2: what would you say if I destroyed all of your stuff?
• 4:02
  Speaker 2: You know, they're like big, tough guys. When did that
• 4:06
  Speaker 2: start happening? When they were able to get away with it. Right.
• 4:11
  Speaker 2: The right had never. No. No Republican girl on campus.
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: You have Republicans that have been thrown in jail for
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: praying in front of an abortion clinic. Quietly to themselves.
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: Praying quietly to themselves in front of an abortion clinic.
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: And they've been thrown in jail for it. And yet
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: you will have leftists that will come up and tear up.
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: I have a friend, Ben Shetler.
• 4:33
  Speaker 2: Who was assaulted.
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: He was in New York City. He was praying and.
• 4:37
  Speaker 2: Assaulted for praying?
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: He was assaulted for praying.
• 4:40
  Speaker 2: Oh, wow.
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: Yeah, so, I mean, you'll see that type of stuff.
• 4:43
  Speaker 2: Yeah, and they won't go to jail. Nothing will happen.
• 4:45
  Speaker 2: So it's because they feel like they won't have any repercussions,
• 4:49
  Speaker 2: no consequences. You can say, do whatever you want. You
• 4:52
  Speaker 2: will not see conservative women... I would be hard-pressed to
• 4:56
  Speaker 2: see conservative women coming up to a Planned Parenthood abortion
• 5:02
  Speaker 2: rights group and holler like that and not have that
• 5:07
  Speaker 2: crew absolutely obliterate these girls and get in their faces.
• 5:15
  Speaker 2: The ones that I see, they're very hate-filled, very scary.
• 5:19
  Speaker 2: I would never go up to any of them. In fact,
• 5:22
  Speaker 2: I was thinking to myself when I saw that video
• 5:23
  Speaker 2: of that girl talking to these two guys, I thought,
• 5:26
  Speaker 2: just keep moving along.
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 5:28
  Speaker 2: It's kind of like when you're scrolling and you don't
• 5:30
  Speaker 2: like something that somebody put. Just keep scrolling. Why do
• 5:33
  Speaker 2: you have to be hateful and state your case about
• 5:36
  Speaker 2: why this person is the most terrible person you ever
• 5:38
  Speaker 2: knew in your life?
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: They can't keep scrolling in real life.
• 5:40
  Speaker 2: They cannot.
