Alina Habba: Do Feminists Support Strong Conservative Women? | Stories of Us | PragerU

the American legal system is broken that comes from our department of justice it comes from poor leadership corruption greed despicable Behavior politics is a dirty business my name is Alina habba and this is my [Music] story I am a first generation American Catholic Arab woman a lawyer spokesperson and Senior adviser to president Trump a mom and a wife when when you come from a country where there is religious persecution where there is war where there is dictatorship in the Middle East in Baghdad my family had no choice but to leave Catholic Arabs have suffered from persecution and for not being whatever it is Muslim for maybe not wearing a hijab for not you know going along with the traditional broader sense of the word of the culture in the Middle East my father wanted to be a physician and wanted a better life for us so they left people used to make fun of me growing up for being Iraqi my parents spoke a different language when my friends came over it wasn't like an American household they heard a speaking Arabic thought it was a screaming but it's just the language um and I was different and I was first generation typical you know different rules I wasn't allowed to wear nail polish no sleepovers no boys and I was blind as a bat I I I had poke bottle glasses but I wanted to be like everybody else and some days suck but you get through it I remember being in school and a woman came and she was this beautiful woman well-dressed she was an entertainment lawyer and she spoke to the class and I was watching her and I said wow so you're a lawyer and you're doing this great work for famous people and you look beautiful wow that's something and that's when I always said I wanted to be a lawyer September of 2021 I got hired to work for president Trump on one of his cases I had already made myself in terms of being a lawyer I had a firm of almost 20 people working for me I'm licensed in four states I had a massive company that I represented in the banking industry and mortgage industry and when I got that call from president Trump I don't care how confident you are you get rattled and I and I got my first case and I was successful very quickly and it kind of went from there the first day I got a call from a very very well-known journalist I'd never spoken to a journalist in my life and they tried to scare me off do you know what you're doing do you know who you're about to represent and I said yes I'm about to represent and I do represent the 45th president of the United States there's just not that many people that can say that they do that I am attacked because I don't fit the bill because I'm a woman because I dress a certain way and I yell in front of the camera and say exactly what they don't want to hear and the left Narrative of raising women up supporting strong women they're not inclusive the same people that go on TV and say we love women we want to break the glass ceiling we want every woman to make the you know make more the whoopy gold of the world the CNN anchors they're the ones that hit me the hardest the irony that they are so horrible to me shame on them they're such Hypocrites it's broken the American legal system is broken some of the comments from judges some of the Despicable behavior that I have seen and that comes from to me not just the courts that comes from our department of justice it comes from poor leadership from the top corruption greed and frankly politics politics is a dirty business law fair is using anything other than Justice Fair impartial legal reasoning to attack someone I think parents have become a target of the legal system interfering in their rights I think when you look at the law the one law that scares the hell out of of me is where a parent could say I don't want my son or daughter making a choice about their gender at such a young age when you literally don't even know who your best friend is you don't know what you want to be when you grow up you can't hold a gun you can't drink a sip of alcohol but you can go into surgery take a pill and transition yourself and a parent can't have the right to say I'm not okay with that that is law fair I think that right now what we have a problem with is you know this everybody gets a trophy everybody doesn't get a trophy in life and right now these children in my opinion are being so coddled and our country and to some extent the culture right now this woke culture it's so hyper sensitive that our children have no backbone anymore and they don't know how to stick up for themselves that is why we have kids that are so lost everyone just wants to be their kids friends I don't want to be my kids friends I want to be their mom if I'm not setting an example for Work Hard Play Hard be a mom do it all and it may not be perfect it's not perfect I can tell you but I try really hard every day yeah my kids are the best they're the best I'm lucky to have them honestly I am a proud first generation American I think there is a difference between people that want to come to America to change us and and people that want to come to America because they love the country and they learned to love the country I've never seen my parents so disgusted as when athletes started kneeling at the flag America was a part of who we are and a very big part of it and something they were grateful for but I think that because of where they came from what they're seeing now has created tremendous fear for them they constantly say this is how it happened in Baghdad first it starts with censorship and then it evolves into religious persecution I think that there is a lack of appreciation for what this country stands for we're seeing it right now and that's why my parents are so proud of the work that I do because they firsthand have always told us this is strange this country is turning into something we left these are very very similar attributes to the country we left and um that's why I think I fight so much my courage comes from God for sure I've had really dark days in my life moments where you feel helpless hopeless confused everybody has that but the reason I say stop feeling sorry for yourself is I always say the opposite of fear is Faith so pray I pray and I also believe God has a plan for me and if the bumps are part of God's plan then it is what it is but I really believe in something bigger than myself and I think that gives me great comfort I don't think I would be who I am today if I wasn't in America yeah I take away the media the noise I'm a successful woman I'm blessed that couldn't have happened to me if my parents stayed in bad gu that that's America thank you so much for watching my story if you liked it and you want to see more
