  Speaker 1: Well, we got a question for American mama's. Dear mama's,
• 0:02
  Speaker 1: have we underestimated how good social skills are important for
• 0:07
  Speaker 1: today's society?
• 0:08
  Speaker 2: Well, let's ask our Americ in mama's, she said, joining
• 0:24
  Speaker 2: us now.
• 0:24
  Speaker 1: Our American mama's turn out Ofville and Kimer, Lee Burlison.
• 0:27
  Speaker 1: My daughter does have tourettes, but she tries to hide it.
• 0:32
  Speaker 1: When she was taking her ACT, we did get some exceptions.
• 0:35
  Speaker 1: We made sure they knew that she had turets, and
• 0:37
  Speaker 1: that created she got some exceptions when she got to
• 0:40
  Speaker 1: take the test. But the reason we did that was
• 0:42
  Speaker 1: so that her outbursts wouldn't affect other students, not so
• 0:47
  Speaker 1: that she necessarily would get an advantage from it, But
• 0:49
  Speaker 1: we didn't want her messing up other people taking the
• 0:51
  Speaker 1: ACT if she happened to have a bunch of outbursts
• 0:55
  Speaker 1: and a bunch of ticks going on. But she's commented
• 0:58
  Speaker 1: it that it seems like pretty much everyone she knows says, oh,
• 1:01
  Speaker 1: I've got a tick disorder when they don't right.
• 1:05
  Speaker 3: Well that, I mean, what she has sounds like it
• 1:07
  Speaker 3: truly is something that you would need some exceptions for.
• 1:10
  Speaker 3: But I watched this news piece and it was talking
• 1:12
  Speaker 3: about Ivy League students and how they're abusing the disability status. Okay,
• 1:18
  Speaker 3: so Ivy League student, I'm talking to Harvard Brown Stanford.
• 1:24
  Speaker 3: But they were saying that thirty eight percent of Stanford
• 1:27
  Speaker 3: students claim to have a disability eight thirty eight percent.
• 1:31
  Speaker 3: And with this status, if you get this disability status,
• 1:35
  Speaker 3: that means that you have exemptions from being called on
• 1:37
  Speaker 3: by the professor. You can bring your mom to class,
• 1:41
  Speaker 3: you can have extended time for exams, you can have
• 1:44
  Speaker 3: access to distraction free environments, and you can use otherwise
• 1:50
  Speaker 3: prohibited technology.
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: I'm pretty sure if I had brought my mom to
• 1:53
  Speaker 1: class that would have given me a tick disorder.
• 1:56
  Speaker 3: I think absolutely. I just feel like we are crazy
• 2:01
  Speaker 3: this week. Generation. They're so weak that it feels like
• 2:06
  Speaker 3: they're looking for hand. And that's not everybody. There's always exception.
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: But you got thirty eight percent saying they've got some
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: kind of a disability and they get special benefit for
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: having the disability.
• 2:15
  Speaker 3: Do they share that on their resume later? You know,
• 2:17
  Speaker 3: when they're trying to get a job, do they share
• 2:19
  Speaker 3: that or is it suddenly gone whenever they're looking for
• 2:22
  Speaker 3: a job. You know, I'm so grossed out by this
• 2:26
  Speaker 3: kind of thinking. This week, hand me, give me, lift me.
• 2:33
  Speaker 3: It's always what can others can do for them, and
• 2:35
  Speaker 3: never what they can do for themselves.
• 2:36
  Speaker 4: Probably it's probably for them more like you know how
• 2:39
  Speaker 4: millionaires find the little tax breaks, the loopholes. Yeah, get ahead.
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: It's like a loophole.
• 2:44
  Speaker 4: It's like a loophole. It's like they feel like they
• 2:47
  Speaker 4: are working the system. Well, if y'allre going to have
• 2:50
  Speaker 4: this in place, then I'm going to say I have ADHD,
• 2:52
  Speaker 4: which is going to let me have thirty minutes longer
• 2:54
  Speaker 4: on the test. They've figured it out a way I
• 2:58
  Speaker 4: think if every student knew. But you have to have
• 3:00
  Speaker 4: a medical I think you have to have the medical excuse.
• 3:02
  Speaker 4: You have to have a doctor that actually says that
• 3:04
  Speaker 4: you have them.
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: That's not hard to find.
• 3:06
  Speaker 4: Yeah, that's true. So I really think that's what this
• 3:09
  Speaker 4: is more about than than the coming week.
• 3:11
  Speaker 3: So that's a whole different way to look at it.
• 3:13
  Speaker 3: But I think about our grandparents' generation, the greatest generation.
• 3:17
  Speaker 3: Do you think they didn't even want to get on welfare?
• 3:19
  Speaker 3: So you're saying, if you create it, then I'm going
• 3:22
  Speaker 3: to take it. Y.
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: My grandfather, my grandfather had polio as a child and
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: walked with olymp his entire life. He served in World
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: War Two, of course he did when he had a limp.
• 3:32
  Speaker 4: Yes, I mean it was the greatest.
• 3:35
  Speaker 3: There was so much more pride. Yeah, there was pride
• 3:37
  Speaker 3: in yourself and pride in how you presented yourself. And
• 3:42
  Speaker 3: that's what I'm not seeing anymore.
• 3:45
  Speaker 2: Terry.
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: You my favorite phrase you've ever said, And Man, I
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: quote this to people all the time. Victimhood is their
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: beauty market. Yeah. Is that part of what this is
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: that they think that what makes themselves special is a
• 3:59
  Speaker 1: disaibiline colors.
• 4:00
  Speaker 4: Well, yeah, because they've learned that that's what society has
• 4:04
  Speaker 4: taught them in the last eight years. Whereas the greatest generation,
• 4:08
  Speaker 4: our maternal grandmother lost her husband when she was thirty nine.
• 4:11
  Speaker 4: She had four children. She refused to use government funds
• 4:15
  Speaker 4: and got three jobs. You know, she made their clothes.
• 4:18
  Speaker 4: It was like a pride thing. She wanted her children
• 4:20
  Speaker 4: to learn that. No, no, no, you figure out a
• 4:22
  Speaker 4: way with four little kids. Yeah, this generation, they've been
• 4:26
  Speaker 4: taught Hey, the bigger your victim story, the better chances
• 4:30
  Speaker 4: you'll get to get on this show to win that
• 4:33
  Speaker 4: you know, American non American idol, but the other one
• 4:35
  Speaker 4: or like that has to be part of the narrative
• 4:38
  Speaker 4: because when the show, that brings in the numbers. So
• 4:40
  Speaker 4: that's what they've been taught. It's just the wrong way.
• 4:42
  Speaker 3: It is the wrong way. I saw yesterday a reel
• 4:45
  Speaker 3: this lady. She was in the parking lot. She found
• 4:47
  Speaker 3: a receipt on the ground at Walmart and it hadn't
• 4:50
  Speaker 3: been drawn through, and she went back into the store.
• 4:53
  Speaker 3: She got everything that was on that list, and then
• 4:56
  Speaker 3: she got through free showing her receipt of all those
• 5:00
  Speaker 3: and she said, look what I got. God is so good.
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: Oh no, God doesn't teach you to steal.
• 5:05
  Speaker 3: Absolutely, but she in her mind felt like, hey, this
• 5:08
  Speaker 3: is the system that exists. This I got a freebie.
• 5:11
  Speaker 3: And then the comments were like, that's what well, I mean,
• 5:14
  Speaker 3: that's what they get. They didn't go through it before.
• 5:17
  Speaker 3: I thought, what is wrong? Right now?
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: Wow?
• 5:21
  Speaker 4: I know.
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: I think the thing that's most disturbing to me about
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: this is that these are supposed to be the brightest
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: of this entire generation. If you're at Harvard, if you're
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: at Brown, if you're at Columbia, you're supposed to be
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: the cream of the.
• 5:34
  Speaker 4: Crop unless you're just connected. You know they are. They
• 5:37
  Speaker 4: have to be intelligent, they have to be highly intelligent.
• 5:39
  Speaker 4: But a lot of it we've learned who their parents are.
• 5:42
  Speaker 4: There's a lot of You have.
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: To be connected, but intelligence without ethics is dangerous.
• 5:47
  Speaker 4: It is.
