I'm having a good day today. I know I know there's been a lot of controversy. We've got Shakira and JLo and the whole half-time

debacle, but we also have the Iowa caucuses. We've got so much news developing, a quiddle, a quiddle, a quiddle. I'm gonna start a new chant instead of impeachment,

impeachment, impeachment, sorry, Maxine Waters, ain't happening. It's not happening, but it is happening here at the Sarah Carter Show. I'm so happy you're with me, America.

And remember, you can follow all of our stories on saracarder.com, that saracarder.com and follow me on Twitter, by the way, we're almost out of

a million, that Sarah Carter DC. You can follow me on Twitter at Sarah Carter DC. But I want to start out with, let's talk a little bit about the craziness that spread across the country when Shakira and JLo started doing their overly, I think, people would say, sensual, latin dancing.

So I got to, I got to bring it back home, because that's what I do here. I want to bring it back to something that connects to me. Now I, I tweeted out, I thought the music was awesome. I loved it. I mean, I just, the music was fun to listen to, of course, I didn't even think about the poll, honestly, as poll dancing until people started tweeting at me. I don't, did you, did you even, did you think of the poll as poll dancing at him? I could be two words, Cirque du Soleil.

Cirque du Soleil, that's exactly what I thought. I know that's what I was thinking, honestly, in my heart, I didn't even think that because I, I've never, well, I've never been to a strip club, honesty.

Never here. Never, never, ever, ever. I actually, for me, you know, I care a lot about young women and the choices that they make. And, and the reason why I, I bring that up is because I covered human trafficking and I still do sex traffic.

There is a lot of issues with clubs, particularly in, you know, in Asia, even here in the United States, as well. There's a lot of human trafficking, a lot of the young women that work in these clubs.

There's more than enough information out there suggesting, especially overseas where some of my friends work to help save some of these young girls have been abused sexually and it is horrific.

But I'm going back now to the halftime show because there were just so many different, I guess, feelings about this anger. Some people didn't care. Some people didn't even think twice about it. Other people were completely offended.

And I want to hear everybody's, you know, thoughts on this because it means something to me. I know we all come from our own place. Now, I come from my mother was from Cuba, Latin dancing, salsa dancing.

It's always been very kind of like a part of our lives and when I was young, I would always have so much fun. I would dance with my grandma, believe it or my grandma, she died at 102.

She was the most amazing woman in the world. Her and my mom, I love them so much and I miss them so much. It just drives me crazy. But my grandmother, she was this just beautiful, amazing woman.

And she could dance and she had this great hair. I mean, even in her 80s and 90s, her hair was amazing. I mean, and just beautiful. So she always, she always liked to feel sexy and pretty and, you know, she was decent.

I don't take that away. Remember this she came from a different time, but it was never that big of a deal for us. I mean, Latin dancing was just a part of the culture, right? And it was just fun. And, you know, and we love to go out there and dance and and eat and hang out with our family is just a part of our lives.

And so I really didn't even think when I was watching it, you know, that everybody would be it would be so explosive, right? And I'll tell you something that actually while I was watching Shakira, it was the most amazing moment because I remember, and this is taking you back to Afghanistan with me, Shakira was extraordinarily popular on the down low in Afghanistan.

Afghan men, Afghan women, they love Shakira. I believe she's half Lebanese, her style of music, where, you know, and she's from South America and her style of music has that kind of element that Middle Eastern kind of twists to it. You can hear it in the music.

It's really quite beautiful. The music from that part of the world and from even from South Asia. So even in South Asia, they kind of appreciate that kind of Middle Eastern flair in the music and it's mixed with Latin salsa, right? That type of and Columbia Columbia's Columbia music.

So I was in Afghanistan. I had this wonderful, wonderful guy who's a great friend of mine still always says first name, his name is Shereen. And he had asked me, please, please, please, when you come back to Afghanistan, get me some Shakira CDs. I love it. We can't get them here. They're all on like the black market. They're not very good. Could you get me some. So I got him some CDs. I went back to Afghanistan and he would drive me around. He was more or less like a like a bodyguard.

Everyone called him my punch your bodyguard. And it would just be me and Shereen. And one day he played one of the Shakira CDs when I got it for him. We were on our way to actually doing an interview. And it was early early in the morning in Kabul. And we got on the road. He popped in the Shakira CD. Now I'm sitting in the back seat because one of the things you don't do in Afghanistan is sit in the front seat with a man that is not your husband. You just don't do it at all. I'm covered up. I've got you know my Shawish Ami.

He's on my Harris covered, but we've got Shakira blaring, you know, in the car. And I was like, Shereen, maybe we should turn it down. I mean, this is Afghanistan after all. And he was just seeing hips don't lie. It sounded really funny because he had this funny little accent while he was seeing it. He knew all the words, but didn't know what they meant.
