6:34 pm
a rainy dark night replicant christmas lights and got out and was hit by the propeller and the other people hurt know how many were on the plane to. you and and the pilot so as you would deploy will you dating the pilots know you're married yes so i wasn't married at the time i didn't even know my husband at that time oh the joy of going to a propos they it's a pure mystery. some think it could have sucked me into it the way i got out. i don't know if we were your own conscious i actually was not i i don't remember anything but i was talking and making sounds and all that so and the part of get you to a hospital right away so there's a group of people and they called care flight. in the place and so yeah carefully it was there really quickly firefighters. that were you in pain
6:35 pm
i'm assuming for sure you don't remember i don't remember and i'm so thankful word that it was the propeller making a noise most likely so you don't remember i don't and i always wonderful have flashbacks to remembering you don't have them though no i never have so what you are telling me is what someone told you yes yeah a lot of it i have to ask my parents like what was happening even the first two weeks in the hospital i don't remember anything but i was very awake and talking and alert when do they told you you had lost an eye i think they woke up one day and i realized i was patch on my eye i don't how my left hand but i had apparently asked my parents over and over again like why am i here all of that but when i was conscious and just aware still in a lot of pain medication so it became really real when i was getting off that
6:36 pm
medication you had no left hand. moves as a stump yes so just part of my arm with my little arm obviously do the baby that's a prosthetic leg that i yes your left eye looks amazing and that's. the glass right it's actually silicone silicone yes it's a new way that they're making them well yes the three they do not live seeing glass eyes this is not look like the world yet they match a color exactly he paints it he's amazing he actually has one eye as well my prosthetist. yeah you have to take it out. a deal every night i do yeah because you can't sleep with it it gets very uncomfortable and all that contact lenses yeah yeah about the arm they take it off all the time you said that the blues said they gone made a big difference in their life styles i think because i was used to having two arms i think just losing a hand i mean we feel incomplete and so having another arm that made me feel like
6:37 pm
a whole person was really healing for me so you met your husband after all yes he did in our expensive is a place that has gone so this one there are different but this is a passive arm so it has no function and with the cosmetic covering is about thirty to thirty five thousand you can't use it you know so i have one that i can use to cut in my electric i just don't like it because they don't they get them in in full and it just kind of gets in the way once you learn how to do everything oh what does the lauren scruggs kennedy foundation for women who have lost a limb you know does it's purpose we actually provide the cosmetic covering for prosthetic arms and legs and then just walk through that journey with the women one of my experiences was i didn't know a lot of girls that had limb loss and then i met bethany hamilton who is and was a bit by a shark over ten years ago and lost her arm and she became
6:38 pm
a dear friend and then just met a lot of other girls there are many posts that i live a lot and i was so in aware before that does an insurance cover. not often no later very rarely. you have health insurance yes you lose an arm it's not called good what is covered. is the surgery covered they covered a lot of i was a rare story so they covered a lot more for me than the normal but i started meeting all of these women that no one was covered none of it like even my friend lost all four limbs she was my age has two kids young kids and all they would provide for her were like hooks for hands and she's thinking i am going through so much emotional pain in trying to raise my children and you're going to give me hooks for my arm like i can't handle that or your foundation will provide money to provide for said it's yes so
6:39 pm
specifically the cosmetic covering so a lot of times insurance will cover the basic arm and then the cosmetic covering is and makes it beautiful and realistic looking to do a managed thank you is a lot done texas it is yes by an amazing family they started this business their garage basically everyone from around the world they want to get in with our tech to have them paint their prosthetic leg was a name that our tech want to get in touch with the foundation so our website is ls k. foundation dot com well as cave foundation dot com yes and you get all the information is all people get oh yes and we have an instagram ad the foundation you have a twin sister a doozy how did she react to this oh my gosh she is just such a rock between the exact wins we're actually fraternal so she has dark brown hair naturally curly about your parents they were just my strength in support only you i
6:40 pm
was twenty three. they're incredible people i respect them so much in a tell them often i feel like you guys went through more than me because i will go up with my injuries but they went through the trauma side of it of is she going to live is she going to be the same person will she have. the same personality was he a vegetable all bad and just quick decisions on surgeries and a lot of pressure on women to be good to feel like you're obviously beautiful we won't deny that change yet you don't have the average case obviously did you have scars that they have that i do have a scar done my face but they've just healed up really well and covered with hair not always been known to see anything but thank you. there's a lot of amazing doctors that have helped as the accident change your perspective on beauty one hundred percent only though i realize that i put a lot of value in outer beauty because that's what bothered me the most after my
6:41 pm
accident like oh my gosh i don't look the same i'm so ugly i'm not going to fit in no man is ever going to love me because i don't look good and i've truly realized and i've heard this my whole life that beauty is internal and i've never understood that but i think just your character in just how you react to even struggle in your life and then how you love other people like is so much more beautiful than our to periods and of course the two can go hand in hand the only gave up i don't know i feel like you never went through a period of feeling sorry and not really doing in the mirror and saying this is terrible i didn't definitely thought this is terrible i can't believe this is happening but i never thought like why me and feeling sorry for myself i think i was the opposite of victimizing myself and kind of are building in fat mentality
6:42 pm
when did you decided you would use this to inspire other people when i met bethany in realized how much her friendship to help help me i wanted to just extend that comfort to other girls and women because i understood it in a starting meeting other girls so bethany created this retreat for girls that had lost limbs and. yes for special weekends and so just connecting with them immediately because i don't have to explain anything to you you get it we have different stories but same outcomes in a way well it's the old you want to do when you were twenty three before this my gosh i started a blog i was reporting on fashion weeks model everywhere more for fun but not necessarily career wise and so yeah i feel like i just kind of living life in a more shallow level you popular at school yeah i did meet your husband his co-host reach out to me about a month after my accident host well for giuliana rancic from the news so how did
6:43 pm
you meet it you guessed it on his show so she interviewed me about a year after we connected and she introduced the two of us and this was after the surgery and everything yet was a year after my accident how did you deal with it so when i first moved here we first got married i feel like i had to explain a lot to him because he didn't go through all of it with me so i had explained fatigue and just a lot of things and he has become one of my biggest supporters in even just being comfortable and feeling safe with who i am in knowing that i'm beautiful how i am and just encouraging me daily in that when you go to sleep the night you take your ideal he sees you without your eye all the time and without your first that it doesn't ball not at all yet he loves he loves playing little armin so to say kisses side of my face and say this is like my favorite side of your face and it's so
6:44 pm
beautiful quite a guy that you think you're going to be associated with this actually all your life i think it's part of my story so in some way but i never want to be identified as that's the girl that got hit by a propeller i think there's so much you're going to be involved in helping people in the a foundation for sure yes to do other things right i did blog on other things you talk about why. style and yet so i have a wellness lifestyle blog called ls k. so lauren scruggs kennedy dot com and then we started trying to shampoo or launch that with my twin sister has been in my best friend the minute yeah what's the biggest misconception about amputees that they're not able to do as much in honestly if my experience personally has been it's made me more empowered because i'm like even the things i had to really learn it made me just more challenge to figure those things out and do them and then i think it just makes you
6:45 pm
a deeper person and just have a different perspective on life c.l.s. k. foundation that. dot com coming up we'll discuss lauren's new business venture and the best advice she ever got would be right that. i'm tom hartman and i'll give you what the mainstream media can't help big picture we'll go deeper investigate and debate all so you can get the big picture. in case you're new to the game this is how it works the economy is built around core. perforation washington washington. voters elected to run this country business equals power. must
6:46 pm
it's not business as usual it's business like it's never been done before. our culture is awash in lives dominated by streams of never ending electronic hallucinations that birthed fiction until they are indistinguishable we have become the most. society on politics as a species of endless and needless political politicians and celebrities are to ruling parties are in reality one part of corporate and those who attempt to conquer this vast breathless universe of me to sign to push through the cruelty and exploitation to be a little more for so far to the margins of society including by a public broadcasting system that has sold its soul for corporate money that we might as well be mice squeaking against an apple but squeak we must.
6:47 pm
hold and then we. are. back with lauren scruggs kennedy the foundation is the lauren scruggs kennedy foundation where you help women who went through what she went through she mentors helps and also provides prosthetics you launched a dry shampoo line you call it stranded yes it is a dry shampoo so basically it's
6:48 pm
a powder that you put into your hair and it absorbs all the oils. so usually you'd have to wash your hair sample but instead you can go another day and just you don't wash it that it can make you go more days without washing your hair what do you do your hair kind of like a baby out or a to come up with this my best friend and i are living together and she came home one day and just said ok we is bonds can use baby pattern or hair dry shampoo and it works great but brunettes don't have that luxury because it makes their hair look grey through the glitz create one for bring nets and then we did the same for redheads and yeah we started in our apartment where do you get it you can get it on the stranded chopped up com or as you called stranded and then my best friend came up with that we'd had a lot of brainstorming but we thought it kind of encompassed strands of hair you're stranded any major a shampoo is probably possible as if you didn't have the. where would you be today
6:49 pm
what do you think you'd be doing jimmy had met mr kennedy no you would have been on the show i don't think so yeah i think about that a lot i i think i would be blogging i kind of started it when it was all starting and. start reporting about it makes before bloggers went and it was more intimate and personal and all that so i think i just would have grown out of you know from that point on but i don't think i would have ever met jason we just still be in texas probably ok we play a little game of if you only knew ok childhood celebrity crush. i just love the olsen twins. is that a guy but i loved them in all their in all their movies see good talent. ok it's not a court yet person you'd trade places with for a day or tom brady because i love the way they eat that gives you pleasure
6:50 pm
really nice hotels and spas let me with that what super bro would you like to have would never want to pee again. because they're diffuse so much and it just gets in the way like we're running errands and like i've had a bad reaction i don't think so i think i've always been that ok something you wish you were better at i think communicating sometimes you don't think you communicate sometimes if it's like a hard subject. it's harder to confront maybe that's a better word best piece of advice you ever got up that everyone has a story was piece of advice you have a dog when someone says to compare yourself to another person or just see what they're doing and see how they do it and like there's a small fine they retain comparison and a mentor you have a mentor my mom's one of them my parents is gone we're all models my sister my mom my dad. my husband something you should all be paying more attention to
6:51 pm
just other people i think a lot of times we get so caught up in our own lives and own problems and just my dad always is it encourages me if i'm. just feeling ungrateful to go serve somewhere or to go help another person and then everything kind of falls into perspective something on your bucket list i would say to go to australia what never fails to make you laugh anything related to gas. are being fired it got a hell of a life. is this old thing you long believed to be true and realize wasn't. i think that our beauty makes you fit in well so you must have believed beauty was everything for sure yet you've spent a lot of time in the make up the mirror not really i think i just think about it more but how you look mattered for sure yeah it's something we don't know about you i'm addicted to gum up the what something you can't do you wish you could do i
6:52 pm
cannot nail a nail into law as fraid need two hands yeah about eating i have a hard time cutting meat but i'm not a big mediator so that the positive seeing with one eye is ok it is yes i don't have a lot of depth perception at times or depth perception issues at times but for the most part i would never know that i have lost i get a driver's license yes some social media questions as bosh tweets what's the best advice you've ever gotten when it comes to following your dreams. my dad actually told me he was going to biggest encouragers of just keep following what your passion is like look ahead into it so i was getting job offers that were just solid ninety five jobs while i was starting my own business and he just said well you've gotta keep remembering what you're going to do don't stray from that passion or vision and keep going confidently in that way they must've been devastated when it
6:53 pm
happened though yes. electro cino after everything you've been through do you believe in a superior and today and did your character change after the actual i literally would not have been able to make it without my faith and without depending on jesus through it all and yes i think my character deep into and i became just more self-aware and aware of people in pain and what that feels like to some people mother blame god for sure the yeah yeah didn't you have anything i was so pretty no i really didn't and i think. like i look back on it confuses me have times because i'm like this is a really hard thing but i just i feel like and know that god just gave me the strength through every moment and every day even when it fell impossible i would just pray and read the bible and talk to my friends and just felt so much strength
6:54 pm
in those moments how long was this surgery but it would say a couple hours for sure yeah i i and then i was actually hit in the head as well so i had an amazing neurosurgeon where you had brain surgery yep yeah most of it a lot of pain you may not remember but i really don't sam women via our blog what do people get wrong about you i would say i think people can be quick to judge a scenario in just thinking i think just. unfortunate comments of how can you be so stupid and run into a propeller and i'm thinking like i don't know i wonder the same thing and i feel like i'm just not this blond like i did see person a lot of people have asked this the best way to support someone who suffers something dramatic other things for example not to say. i think the best thing to do is just be really real with that person like i love when someone comes out to me they're like oh my gosh can i touch your arm and make sure because it's just
6:55 pm
a part of me now. but i feel like even just with good friends or family when they're going through something difficult sometimes the best thing to do is just be present and you don't have to say anything you can just give a hug or sit next to them and be silent with them and just let them process and the other take them off in public i will wear it with long sleeves but it's one of my insecurities that i'm working through well mccartney's wife to go to lego and mario and me like my husband to find him. he would not want to do it he would love for me to do that i want to do it you know they have the edge where it really would bother me ok. i'm not getting oh my god spray it it will be you know very good ok let's do it you know what do you have left it's so this is a liner and then this is. i mean this is. so and you
6:56 pm
just see really cold right now it's like purple and it is the liner do so this. goes over my arm and then locks my prosthesis in feet and put on like that. and then the prose thesis yeah well. it's an amazing bit of work right so basically left hand doesn't match your other thinkers it does yeah actually take them all that way now did medfield did to take it off his thing a few i freed you up you t. i was trying not to cry my hands out there's no q. no reason evidence to stand up yet thinking it was live in a big speech you help a lot of people when you do that yeah what advice do you have for all the young women out there who struggle to still good about themselves i would say says i would say to not hide just like we went through i think it just holds you back from living a free life and yeah i think just fully being who you are and not being
6:57 pm
afraid to be who you are you're an angel thank you thanks for having a long scruggs kennedy foundation and you learn more a lot about what they do if they have souls you can find me on twitter terms things i'll see you next time. here's what people have been saying about redacted and i. pull on awesome well the only show i go out of my way to really watch it is the really packed a punch. is the john oliver of our three americas do the same we are apparently better than booth nothing that i see. heard of redacted the night president of the world bank very. seriously he sent us an e-mail.
