Classically Abby - Riots Are NEVER Okay. ｜｜ The Scoop #18

00:00:00.220 Hello, Classic Crew, and welcome to today's episode of The Scoop.

00:00:07.460 If you are new to my channel, The Scoop is our opportunity to chat, act as if we're grabbing

00:00:11.980 a cup of coffee together, and go over the events of the week.

00:00:15.020 I really enjoy making The Scoop videos every week because it's our opportunity to really

00:00:19.240 have a conversation, and I love reading your guys' comments.

00:00:22.200 So don't forget to leave a comment down below, grab a cup of coffee or a cup of tea.

00:00:26.600 I've got my tea right here, and let's get started.

00:00:28.860 So I want to start off today by talking about something really serious that happened this

00:00:33.560 past week and has been on all of our minds.

00:00:36.860 The biggest piece of news from last week is about MAGA extremists storming the Capitol as

00:00:42.100 the Electoral College was about to elect Joe Biden president.

00:00:45.600 Losing in Georgia was theoretically the big news that happened last week because that

00:00:49.460 meant that the House, the Senate, and the presidency were in Democrat hands.

00:00:53.660 But instead, we are talking about this terrible thing that happened last Wednesday.

00:00:57.580 Five people died, one of whom was a police officer.

00:01:00.960 This was a terrible day for our country.

00:01:03.280 This was a terrible day for our country because the seat of our democracy and everything this

00:01:07.960 country stands for was trespassed upon in an illegal and riotous act.

00:01:13.280 Let's be clear.

00:01:14.640 Riots are never okay.

00:01:16.880 Conservatives are different from the extremists who stormed the Capitol because we will call

00:01:21.480 out rioting whenever it happens.

00:01:23.500 It doesn't matter on what side because riots themselves are wrong.

00:01:28.360 We called it out last year and we call it out now.

00:01:31.140 It doesn't matter who's doing it.

00:01:32.980 It's wrong.

00:01:33.980 All Americans have the right to law and order and freedom from mobs.

00:01:38.780 Riots are like arson.

00:01:40.600 Once the fire is started, it spreads and burns everything around it, regardless of how innocent

00:01:46.440 or guilty, the things are that burn in the eyes of the person who lit the match.

00:01:51.000 And that's why they are an unacceptable evil, regardless of who starts them.

00:01:56.080 Once you excuse rioting for one group, another group will try it themselves.

00:02:00.520 Any self-respecting conservative has condemned the acts that happened last week.

00:02:04.840 We recognize what happened and we condemn it.

00:02:07.420 What we won't allow to happen is for the media to paint all conservatives as responsible for

00:02:13.020 what happened or to say that we are all like the mob of thugs that stormed the Capitol.

00:02:18.780 How often on my channel have I taken the time to differentiate between leftists and

00:02:23.960 wokists and liberals so that we do not lump everyone who leans left together?

00:02:28.920 If I can do that, then liberals must give conservatives the same courtesy, even though

00:02:33.740 the hard left will not because it's useful to them to use this lie as a tool.

00:02:38.480 Conservatives do not condone what happened.

00:02:41.240 I wanted to talk about what happened this past week because it is so important and it

00:02:45.560 was something that was on our entire nation's mind, but the rest of this video will be a

00:02:49.980 little bit more lighthearted just because we all sometimes need a mental break from everything

00:02:54.620 that's going on in the world.

00:02:55.620 I recently watched the show Bridgerton.

00:02:58.500 Now I'm sure many of you guys have watched it.

00:03:00.900 It's on Netflix.

00:03:01.800 It's a kind of Regency-era show, although it's more of a historical fantasy, and it

00:03:07.320 kind of blew up.

00:03:08.320 Everyone was watching it.

00:03:09.720 I figured I would watch it so that I could kind of discuss it with you guys if you too

00:03:13.460 did watch it.

00:03:14.180 I will say that the show is not family-friendly.

00:03:16.900 There are quite a few inappropriate scenes that don't necessarily need to be in the show,

00:03:21.300 but they are.

00:03:22.540 So if you are planning on watching it, I just want you to know that in advance.

00:03:25.460 But besides that, I thought that the show was very enjoyable to watch.

00:03:30.460 I mean, I love anything that has to do with period dramas.

00:03:34.160 I love period dramas.

00:03:35.960 The costumes in the show, super interesting.

00:03:38.740 I am very interested in historical accuracy when it comes to costumes.

00:03:43.620 There's this whole other side of YouTube that talks about costuming and historical accuracy,

00:03:49.120 and this show did not have that.

00:03:52.020 There were a few things, a few stylistic choices that are historically accurate, but fabric choices,

00:04:00.000 hair choices, makeup choices, all of that not historically accurate for the time at all,

00:04:05.200 but it is more of a fantasy, so that's okay.

00:04:07.960 I will say, though, that one thing that does annoy me in these shows and in movies is the

00:04:13.280 stuff about corsets.

00:04:15.240 Corsets were not torture devices.

00:04:17.500 They were kind of just like bras, so all of these movies and shows treat corsets like 0.99

00:04:23.100 the worst thing that ever happened and were very painful for women. 0.98

00:04:26.260 Depending on the era, that was not the case, especially in the Regency era when you were

00:04:30.480 wearing dresses that did not cinch in at the waist at all, so there would have been no

00:04:34.900 point to wearing a corset that was shaped that way.

00:04:37.200 And also, any corset that was ever worn generally had a shift underneath it, a shift being a

00:04:42.840 small cotton dress, and that actually prevented it from rubbing against your skin, which of

00:04:47.240 course would be uncomfortable, but wasn't actually what was happening.

00:04:50.280 So outside of the costuming, the premise of the show is just kind of the same premise

00:04:55.440 as in most Regency stories, marrying the daughters off, the romances, trying to figure out

00:05:01.400 relationships and stuff like that.

00:05:03.840 And this show had an interesting premise in that one of the women in the show, the 1.00

00:05:08.560 main character in the show, just wants to be a mother. 1.00

00:05:11.700 Now, I'm not going to spoil anything, but I found that whole storyline, I really liked

00:05:17.660 it, and I thought it was interesting.

00:05:20.020 And I thought the idea that a woman is longing to start a family, refreshing.

00:05:25.120 Because in today's day and age, you don't always get that narrative.

00:05:28.500 And of course, I will say that this isn't a show that I would say is high-level great.

00:05:33.720 It's more like a guilty pleasure, but it's still fun to watch.

00:05:36.860 And definitely something I would say would be fun for you to watch with maybe some girlfriends. 1.00

00:05:40.880 I also wanted to mention another show that I recently watched on Netflix, which is The

00:05:45.140 Home Edit, their organizing show.

00:05:47.500 They come in and they organize homes, and they just make all of these pantries and bedrooms

00:05:51.560 and closets look absolutely amazing.

00:05:54.040 I love shows like this.

00:05:55.260 I also really liked watching The Marie Kondo Show.

00:05:57.940 I really like these shows because they inspire me to clean my whole house and reorganize.

00:06:03.580 And I've been feeling that very strong lately, where I just want to pull out everything in

00:06:08.240 my drawers, throw things away, put them in beautiful rainbow order, I don't know, and

00:06:13.840 just have things more organized.

00:06:15.320 But I think it's fun to watch shows like that because they do inspire us to kind of clean

00:06:19.700 up our own homes.

00:06:20.460 So if you are in a funk when it comes to cleaning your house, try watching The Home Edit or Marie

00:06:26.560 Kondo or something like that.

00:06:28.200 It's kind of helpful.

00:06:29.100 I also wanted to recommend a specific cookbook.

00:06:31.540 It's called Dinner Done.

00:06:33.040 And it was actually sent to me by a group of women who run a blog called Between Carpools.

00:06:39.320 And they are a group of Orthodox Jewish women.

00:06:42.060 And this isn't sponsored, but they sent me this cookbook.

00:06:45.000 And I have used it so many times now.

00:06:48.020 I'm absolutely in love with it.

00:06:49.620 It has such easy, great recipes that are healthy, ones that are less healthy, ones that are just

00:06:54.760 delicious.

00:06:55.500 And you usually have all of the ingredients at hand, which is so nice.

00:06:59.720 It is kosher.

00:07:01.220 But what that just means is that they don't mix meat and dairy.

00:07:04.660 So it actually ends up working out really well for somebody who can't have dairy or for

00:07:09.140 somebody who is vegetarian.

00:07:11.360 So I think that's a really cool thing.

00:07:13.940 And this is a great cookbook.

00:07:15.280 It's on Amazon.

00:07:16.260 I'll link it in the description box below.

00:07:18.000 And you guys should definitely check it out if you're looking for a new cookbook.

00:07:21.760 Now, the last thing I want to talk about is something that is slightly more serious.

00:07:25.400 So I am actually having surgery next week.

00:07:28.000 It is not a huge surgery.

00:07:29.580 It's a small procedure.

00:07:31.100 I am getting a lump removed from my breast.

00:07:34.060 So the reason I wanted to talk about this is because I think it is really important for

00:07:38.980 us as women to be open about how important it is to get your breasts checked for cancer.

00:07:46.120 My aunt actually passed away from breast cancer when she was in her early 40s.

00:07:49.800 She was really young.

00:07:50.960 So this is something I am a huge proponent of for women is that you need to check yourself. 1.00

00:07:57.480 You need to see a doctor.

00:07:59.160 And you need to make sure that you are taking care of your breast health. 0.76

00:08:02.380 Now, thank God this is not cancerous.

00:08:04.800 It's just something that needs to be removed.

00:08:06.600 But it is something I think is so incredibly important.

00:08:10.320 And some women don't take care of themselves in the way that they should. 1.00

00:08:14.160 So it's something that when you have an opportunity in the shower, check yourself.

00:08:19.000 Check and make sure that you don't have any problems in that region.

00:08:23.260 I think a lot of women kind of take it for granted. 1.00

00:08:25.360 And then when they go in for their yearly checkup, they just have the doctor do it.

00:08:28.840 But it's important for you to be the one who's checking yourself regularly.

00:08:33.740 And thank God I do check myself because when I did, I felt this lump and I was able to go see my doctor and figure out a solution.

00:08:40.740 So I did want to come on here and be an advocate for you guys to be in charge of your breast health. 0.98

00:08:46.720 Now, this also could mean that my schedule for videos gets off a little bit in the next couple of weeks.

00:08:52.000 I don't think it should.

00:08:53.580 It's not supposed to be a crazy recovery.

00:08:55.460 But just in case anything happens, if that does become an issue, then you guys will kind of know why.

00:09:01.660 But I did want to just let you guys know about that.

00:09:04.400 So that is it for today's episode of The Scoop.

00:09:07.100 Make sure to leave in the comments if you've watched Bridgerton, what you guys have been doing to organize your house,
