  Speaker 1: Tay. What we got a question for American Mama's dear mama,
• 0:02
  Speaker 1: is what political topics are affecting you personally?
• 0:05
  Speaker 2: Well, let's ask ah American Mama's Alma Mama.
• 0:16
  Speaker 1: Say, and joining us now are American Mama's Terry Neediville
• 0:22
  Speaker 1: and Kimberly Burlison. You know that that is kind of
• 0:25
  Speaker 1: interesting because we can talk about some political topics and
• 0:28
  Speaker 1: maybe they don't necessarily, like, you know, the immigration issue,
• 0:31
  Speaker 1: if you don't have someone that you know is an
• 0:34
  Speaker 1: illegal immigrant, it may not necessarily hit you personally. Or
• 0:37
  Speaker 1: if if you're talking about homelessness and you don't you're
• 0:40
  Speaker 1: not homeless, you don't know someone who's homeless, there's not
• 0:42
  Speaker 1: someone homeless camping out in front of you, it may
• 0:45
  Speaker 1: not hit you personally. Is there a political topic that
• 0:48
  Speaker 1: does hit you personally?
• 0:50
  Speaker 3: I think the thing that hits me right now is retirement,
• 0:54
  Speaker 3: just worried about retirement. That the issue that I feel
• 0:57
  Speaker 3: the most frustrated with is tax in property taxes. There
• 1:02
  Speaker 3: is absolutely no reason for you to have an ownership
• 1:05
  Speaker 3: of a home and still have to pay property taxes.
• 1:08
  Speaker 3: To me, it's evil, It's absolute evil. With social Security
• 1:11
  Speaker 3: and so many people living on Social Security today and
• 1:14
  Speaker 3: all of that having to go towards property taxes. That
• 1:17
  Speaker 3: is just absolutely the most wrong thing that I think
• 1:20
  Speaker 3: is happening right now. And I never thought about it
• 1:22
  Speaker 3: until I'm here at this age, and.
• 1:24
  Speaker 1: Especially since the property tax isn't paid on the value
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: you paid for your home exactly. It's paid on what
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: the assessor thinks your home is worth now in a
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: market that's very different from where it was when you bought.
• 1:36
  Speaker 3: The home exactly. And then you worry about Social Security
• 1:40
  Speaker 3: right there. You know, we have to pay into it,
• 1:42
  Speaker 3: We have to work for so many years in order
• 1:44
  Speaker 3: to receive that when we retire, and yet they're let
• 1:48
  Speaker 3: people coming in that don't have never lived here and
• 1:51
  Speaker 3: they're giving them all of our social security that we
• 1:53
  Speaker 3: have to work for. And I'm like, what are you
• 1:56
  Speaker 3: people doing? This is what stresses me out. Is it
• 1:59
  Speaker 3: going to be there for us, for the people it's
• 2:01
  Speaker 3: supposed to be there for? You know, I don't know,
• 2:04
  Speaker 3: but this is what's frustrating, and this is stuff that
• 2:06
  Speaker 3: needs to be taken care of.
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: You know, I grew up in the eighties when Ronald
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: Reagan was talking about how Social Security was running out
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: of money, and he started gradually raising the retirement age,
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: and I just assumed, as a gen xer that we
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: weren't going to have social Security. I figured we're gonna
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: have to pay into it our entire lives, and then
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: I just figured it wasn't going to be there because
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: that just seemed about right. But yeah, no, And that's
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: part of why I've never planned to retire. I don't
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: ever plan to retire. Now. Eventually, you know, you medical
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: life catches up with you and you may have to.
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: But it's part of why I'm just like, retirement has
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: never actually been a goal of mine because in part
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: I've never expected social Security to be there for me.
• 2:48
  Speaker 3: Well aren't you angry at seeing where it's going your
• 2:51
  Speaker 3: social Security? And why they why they've been telling us
• 2:54
  Speaker 3: it's running out.
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: I'm angry that how they created it in the first place,
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: because it was a Ponzi scheme to get started with.
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: It was never it was never based on logical finances.
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: It was always based on we have more people being
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: born than dying. That's what it was. And basically it
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: was always a it was always a little bit if
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: you get to this age, then you can get social security.
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: But wink wink, nudge, nudge. We've set the age at
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: an age where most people don't get to it. That's
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: how it was initially began, and and so it was
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: basically it's like a carnival game where where it's you know,
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: it's fixed. So that's that's what makes me angry about
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: social security.
• 3:31
  Speaker 2: Well I have a new one now, Well it's y'all's okay.
• 3:38
  Speaker 2: Now what else to be angry about? Because mom was
• 3:42
  Speaker 2: not that. I'm I'm I know this is an old
• 3:45
  Speaker 2: tired thing and I beat the drums. I've been doing
• 3:48
  Speaker 2: this for years. But the whole boys and girls sports
• 3:53
  Speaker 2: I am. I saw Hilary on a panel and she
• 3:58
  Speaker 2: was she's so you know she was. It was for women.
• 4:01
  Speaker 2: It was a panel when she was discussing I think it.
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: Was uh Hillary Clinton, Yes, and it was.
• 4:06
  Speaker 2: Girls just want to have functioning da da da. That
• 4:09
  Speaker 2: was her whole thing, okay. And the first guess that
• 4:11
  Speaker 2: she had was that transgender congress person Sarah something.
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: Oh yeah, So the guy I think it's from Delaware.
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: It's a guy guy who's costplaying as a woman and
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: wants to go into the women's costumes in Congress.
• 4:26
  Speaker 2: And she's supposed to be for women's rights, like she's
• 4:29
  Speaker 2: a hardcore feminist, is what she says. But only if
• 4:31
  Speaker 2: it's you know, benefits the Democrats. But here's my here's
• 4:34
  Speaker 2: my true issue, because y'all know, I don't care if
• 4:36
  Speaker 2: you're If you're eighteen and older and you want to transition, okay,
• 4:40
  Speaker 2: to go for it, fine if you. But if you
• 4:45
  Speaker 2: try to enter these young men into female sports, absolutely
• 4:53
  Speaker 2: obliterating records that can never be duplicated, taking opportunities away
• 4:58
  Speaker 2: from girls of getting scholarships to colleges that they want,
• 5:03
  Speaker 2: or Olympic medals. You know, we saw that boxer that
• 5:06
  Speaker 2: beat the heck out of that girl. And I am
• 5:12
  Speaker 2: so tired of us pretending like this is not a
• 5:14
  Speaker 2: big deal when it's a Title nine deal. That's it's
• 5:20
  Speaker 2: a civil rights deal. That's the whole reason for Title nine.
• 5:23
  Speaker 2: So I wish we could all just say, look to
• 5:26
  Speaker 2: all of you who are confused, there are only two genders.
• 5:29
  Speaker 2: If you want to transition when you're older, that's fine,
• 5:31
  Speaker 2: But it doesn't mean that you can come to a
• 5:32
  Speaker 2: women's locker room. Doesn't mean that you can come into
• 5:35
  Speaker 2: a women's sports You can live your life as a woman,
• 5:38
  Speaker 2: if you want to and marry, whatever you want to do,
• 5:41
  Speaker 2: just don't enter in. You can have your own lane,
• 5:43
  Speaker 2: we can have, you know, the transgender Olympics or the
• 5:46
  Speaker 2: transgender lane or the transgender track meet. I'm fine with
• 5:51
  Speaker 2: that too, But to pretend like it's not affecting our
• 5:55
  Speaker 2: girls in sports at all the levels. Know I'm angry.
