- 0:00Speaker 1: American mamas. Got a question, Dear mamas, how do you
- 0:03Speaker 1: work with people who have Trump arrangement syndrome or our
- 0:06Speaker 1: far leftists?
- 0:07Speaker 2: Well, let's ask our American mamas.
- 0:22Speaker 1: And joining us now our American mamas Terry Neediville and
- 0:24Speaker 1: Kimberly bur Listen. You know, I used to work in news,
- 0:29Speaker 1: and so I covered a lot of presidential elections and
- 0:31Speaker 1: things like that. And so I was working in a
- 0:33Speaker 1: newsroom when Barack Obama won, and I remember how many
- 0:41Speaker 1: journalists were jumping up and down and screaming and crying
- 0:46Speaker 1: with joy and hugging each other and high fiving. The
- 0:49Speaker 1: amount of euphoria that came out in that newsroom, which
- 0:54Speaker 1: supposed to be unbiased. Again, some of these people people
- 0:57Speaker 1: on air, some of these people are our art bosses,
- 1:01Speaker 1: supposed to be objective journalists. They're jumping up and down
- 1:04Speaker 1: that I'm like, wh is gonna be rough? But it
- 1:10Speaker 1: can be difficult working with people who have a very
- 1:13Speaker 1: different political worldview.
- 1:15Speaker 3: Any suggestions, Yeah, you know, we had this conversation not
- 1:19Speaker 3: long ago with my brother in law. My brother in
- 1:21Speaker 3: law is a captain for a major airline, and he
- 1:24Speaker 3: said that in his airline there's been a lot of
- 1:27Speaker 3: DEI hires, and he's been there for twenty five years now,
- 1:31Speaker 3: and he said he's flying with a lot of woke pilots.
- 1:35Speaker 3: And he said, it's very hard because I don't go
- 1:37Speaker 3: in there. He said, I can't go in and share
- 1:40Speaker 3: my beliefs because it would shut them down immediately. He said,
- 1:44Speaker 3: But what I do is I make them think that
- 1:45Speaker 3: I'm like minded, so that I'm able to share some
- 1:48Speaker 3: conservative views. And he said, by the time three days
- 1:53Speaker 3: is up, they're red piled and they never knew I
- 1:55Speaker 3: was conservative. And all you got to do is interested.
- 1:57Speaker 3: If they can hear you in their yeah, thinking that
- 2:01Speaker 3: you think similar to them, they're more open to it.
- 2:04Speaker 1: So if you're willing to ask what the are.
- 2:06Speaker 3: Yes exactly, then you're going to open up. I did
- 2:09Speaker 3: that with the best friend. She is very, very liberal.
- 2:12Speaker 3: She thinks I'm right there with her, so I'm able
- 2:14Speaker 3: to do the same kind of thing I can.
- 2:16Speaker 1: Does she know you're on this radio show?
- 2:18Speaker 3: Well, I mean to be specific, it's about the job. Yeah,
- 2:22Speaker 3: she thinks I took the job. Ah, And so because
- 2:25Speaker 3: she thinks I took it, I am able And yeah,
- 2:28Speaker 3: she'd never hear this, she know I would bring things
- 2:31Speaker 3: up to her attention that if she knew I didn't,
- 2:33Speaker 3: if she knew I didn't take it, she would never
- 2:34Speaker 3: even talk about it, right, you know conspiracy theorists exactly exactly.
- 2:38Speaker 1: So part of what you're saying is in order to
- 2:39Speaker 1: work with people with TDS, Yeah, you kind of have
- 2:42Speaker 1: to think, yeah, I've got a little bit of TDS
- 2:45Speaker 1: in order to be able to then sneak in some.
- 2:48Speaker 3: Truth, some truth exactly.
- 2:50Speaker 4: Huh, Well, y'all want to know what I do?
- 2:54Speaker 3: Yes, tell us what you do.
- 2:56Speaker 4: I you know that meme where Bart Simpson is like
- 2:58Speaker 4: backs into the bushes that the Homer Homer Simpson back
- 3:04Speaker 4: into the visions and I don't want to talk.
- 3:08Speaker 2: I can't.
- 3:08Speaker 4: I can't like if they're just if they are so
- 3:12Speaker 4: like Trump Hayton never trumping TDS. I'm very cordial, but
- 3:17Speaker 4: very quick to you know, bye bye.
- 3:20Speaker 1: Now.
- 3:20Speaker 4: You know it's been nice, and it may be somebody
- 3:23Speaker 4: like a stranger, you know that we're having this conversation
- 3:25Speaker 4: in the line at the post office or whatever. And
- 3:27Speaker 4: then if they say that one little thing, you know, that's.
- 3:31Speaker 3: One thing we're talking about. If you're working with them.
- 3:34Speaker 3: You you have to be with them on a daily
- 3:38Speaker 3: I mean, you wouldn't do that.
- 3:39Speaker 4: You wouldn't. I'd be cordial, but I think they would
- 3:41Speaker 4: know where I stood, so we I'd probably I use
- 3:44Speaker 4: humor for everything. Yeah, So I'd probably to the point
- 3:46Speaker 4: where it's like, Okay, I love you, you love me. We're
- 3:49Speaker 4: just not gonna talk politics. Yeah, I can see you
- 3:51Speaker 4: doing that.
- 3:52Speaker 3: And then I.
- 3:52Speaker 4: Would love them wherever they were and we would not
- 3:54Speaker 4: talk politics. I mean, we have a cousin that you
- 3:58Speaker 4: know that we just can't go there and not go there.
- 4:01Speaker 1: You know. I kind of see this with some of
- 4:04Speaker 1: my friends on Facebook, very far left friends, and they'll
- 4:07Speaker 1: post stuff and I'll be like, oh man, that's not true, okay,
- 4:12Speaker 1: and then I just keep scrolling. I don't I don't correct,
- 4:16Speaker 1: don't try.
- 4:16Speaker 4: That's the difference, isn't it.
- 4:17Speaker 1: I mean, that's that's just where it because I mean,
- 4:19Speaker 1: receive it.
- 4:20Speaker 4: Well, right, but that's the difference, right, Oh if I did,
- 4:23Speaker 4: that's the difference between most conservatives and most hard leftist.
- 4:29Speaker 1: Well, what's interesting is when I post something that they
- 4:32Speaker 1: disagree with and they'll come talk to me. Now they've
- 4:34Speaker 1: opened up the opportunity for conversation, and now I can go.
- 4:38Speaker 1: It's now on my page, and now I can go. Okay,
- 4:41Speaker 1: here's here's the truth. Here's the facts. If you like
- 4:44Speaker 1: to see this. I've got some sources here. I can
- 4:47Speaker 1: talk about it. It usually happens with me with climate change.
- 4:49Speaker 1: But you know, here's some facts. Here's some sources for you.
- 4:53Speaker 1: Here's here's some actual truth. And for the most part,
- 4:56Speaker 1: they don't unfriend me. I have had a couple that
- 4:59Speaker 1: I had a friend that from high school who infriended
- 5:02Speaker 1: me because he said that my views on climate changement,
- 5:04Speaker 1: that I was racist. I still have Oh my god.
- 5:07Speaker 4: Well, I'll tell you this. I had a friend, a
- 5:10Speaker 4: good friend, that sent me a private message. It was
- 5:13Speaker 4: during COVID and I had my stance on it. The
- 5:16Speaker 4: masking thing drove me crazy. The kids, I just awful.
- 5:19Speaker 4: It was awful. And so she I guess she listened
- 5:23Speaker 4: to the show because I don't put that stuff out there.
- 5:25Speaker 4: I don't want to upset anybody, you know, for whatever reason.
- 5:28Speaker 1: We have our show page if you'd like to go to.
- 5:29Speaker 4: That's right, that's right. I was talking about my personal page.
- 5:31Speaker 4: But so she sent me a private message with a
- 5:33Speaker 4: link about it. And I told her the same thing
- 5:37Speaker 4: I told my cousin. I said, listen, if you want
- 5:40Speaker 4: to get in a link off, we can do that.
- 5:43Speaker 4: Here's the problem, friend, your expert comes from the left.
- 5:48Speaker 4: My expert on the same subject as an expert on
- 5:51Speaker 4: the right. So I'm going to take their information as
- 5:54Speaker 4: valuable to me, and it will squash yours. Yours will
- 5:58Speaker 4: do the same opposite. So the links you know you're expert,
- 6:02Speaker 4: it means nothing to me because I know who they
- 6:05Speaker 4: voted for. I know who they hate.
