00:00:48,880 --> 00:00:50,960
Speaker 2: story I ran across online.

14
00:00:51,720 --> 00:00:53,319
Speaker 3: Maybe some of you have already heard of it.

15
00:00:53,680 --> 00:00:56,000
Speaker 2: I had never heard of it before, but I thought

16
00:00:56,040 --> 00:00:57,840
Speaker 2: it was so interesting I wanted to share it with

17
00:00:57,880 --> 00:01:00,560
Speaker 2: my readers, so I just summarized it put a post

18
00:01:00,600 --> 00:01:01,520
Speaker 2: up on my substack.

19
00:01:01,560 --> 00:01:02,360
Speaker 3: You can go find it.

20
00:01:02,520 --> 00:01:04,920

25
00:01:14,800 --> 00:01:19,959
Speaker 3: So if you search that on a substack, which I love.

26
00:01:20,080 --> 00:01:23,319
Speaker 2: By the way, If you are not using substack, you

27
00:01:23,360 --> 00:01:27,520
Speaker 2: are sleeping on a lot of great information that doesn't

28
00:01:27,520 --> 00:01:29,440
Speaker 2: have anything to do with politics. You can be in

29
00:01:29,480 --> 00:01:33,600
Speaker 2: the political substack world if you want, but there's substacked

30
00:01:33,640 --> 00:01:39,080

32
00:01:40,959 --> 00:01:43,520
Speaker 3: I am not getting paid to sell this.

33
00:01:43,600 --> 00:01:47,280
Speaker 2: I'm just saying, as a lay person who enjoys reading

34
00:01:47,319 --> 00:01:49,560
Speaker 2: and finding new stories, I have found substec to be

35
00:01:49,640 --> 00:01:53,880
Speaker 2: an incredibly valuable resource, and it's got.

36
00:01:53,800 --> 00:01:57,080
Speaker 3: Me connected into communities. I didn't even know this well.

37
00:01:57,120 --> 00:01:58,000
Speaker 3: Here is the story.

38
00:01:58,880 --> 00:02:01,120
Speaker 2: The title of my piece today is called In nineteen

39
00:02:01,160 --> 00:02:04,520
Speaker 2: forty six, angry gis led an armed rebellion against their

40
00:02:04,560 --> 00:02:08,120
Speaker 2: corrupt politicians and one I don't know if you've heard

41
00:02:08,120 --> 00:02:11,560
Speaker 2: this story, but it was the story of a town

42
00:02:11,320 --> 00:02:18,120
Speaker 2: in Tennessee in mcmiinton County in nineteen forty six. I

43
00:02:18,120 --> 00:02:20,440
Speaker 2: got this article from military dot com. It's where I

44
00:02:20,480 --> 00:02:22,960
Speaker 2: thought author bright Blake still well he wrote this back

45
00:02:23,000 --> 00:02:27,400
Speaker 2: in twenty twenty, in nineteen forties.

46
00:02:27,480 --> 00:02:29,799
Speaker 3: This is a real I think we should be teaching

47
00:02:29,800 --> 00:02:30,200
Speaker 3: the story.

48
00:02:30,200 --> 00:02:33,839
Speaker 2: Target In nineteen forties, McMinn County and Tennessee was run

49
00:02:33,880 --> 00:02:36,720
Speaker 2: by an entrenched political machine that had controlled much of

50
00:02:36,760 --> 00:02:40,480
Speaker 2: Tennessee politics since the early nineteen thirty The head of

51
00:02:40,520 --> 00:02:44,519
Speaker 2: that machine was the elected sheriff, Paul Cantrell, who ruled

52
00:02:44,520 --> 00:02:47,160
Speaker 2: the county with an iron fist for a decade. I

53
00:02:47,160 --> 00:02:49,359
Speaker 2: think all of us can relate to that, right, some

54
00:02:49,600 --> 00:02:54,560
Speaker 2: entrenched politician who has just like filled all the local

55
00:02:54,560 --> 00:02:59,079
Speaker 2: positions with their cronies and their family members, and all

56
00:02:59,120 --> 00:03:01,160
Speaker 2: of the people who are we protected you.

57
00:03:01,080 --> 00:03:01,720
Speaker 3: Are abusing you.

58
00:03:02,120 --> 00:03:05,920
Speaker 2: I think there's a story like that in every region

59
00:03:06,000 --> 00:03:11,520
Speaker 2: in America. One of the laws the look of Tiffany

60
00:03:11,560 --> 00:03:15,240
Speaker 2: Henyrid in Dalton, Illinois. One of the laws the sheriff

61
00:03:15,360 --> 00:03:19,440
Speaker 2: endorsed and enforced was particularly nasty, aimed at unfairly targeting

62
00:03:19,760 --> 00:03:23,679
Speaker 2: citizens for harassments and fine. One of the most dastardly

63
00:03:23,760 --> 00:03:26,079
Speaker 2: laws in the county at that time gave the sheriff's

64
00:03:26,080 --> 00:03:30,000
Speaker 2: office a fee for every person it arrested, incarcerated, and released,

65
00:03:30,000 --> 00:03:33,480
Speaker 2: whether they were guilty or not. Local bar owners pointed

66
00:03:33,480 --> 00:03:36,640
Speaker 2: out prominent patrons for the cops to avoid, but everyone

67
00:03:36,640 --> 00:03:40,720
Speaker 2: else was likely to get hassled. No one was safe Athens.

68
00:03:41,240 --> 00:03:44,760
Speaker 2: This is Athens, Tennessee. Now Athens Georgia. Athens, the county

69
00:03:44,760 --> 00:03:46,600
Speaker 2: seat was home to a large number of men who

70
00:03:46,640 --> 00:03:49,160
Speaker 2: had gone off to the wharf. As the sheriff became

71
00:03:49,200 --> 00:03:52,160
Speaker 2: more and more cruel, the local population began to rumble

72
00:03:52,720 --> 00:03:55,840
Speaker 2: about what the returning gis would seek when they returned.

73
00:03:56,440 --> 00:04:01,120
Speaker 2: According to American Heritage Magazine's Loans Severer, they would tell themselves,

74
00:04:01,160 --> 00:04:03,040
Speaker 2: wait until the gis get back.

75
00:04:03,080 --> 00:04:04,040
Speaker 3: Things will be different.

76
00:04:05,280 --> 00:04:08,120
Speaker 2: Well, veterans return home with money in their pockets and

77
00:04:08,200 --> 00:04:11,360
Speaker 2: a desperate need to celebrate and or drown their trauma.

78
00:04:12,640 --> 00:04:15,640
Speaker 2: This made them a particularly ripe target for the sheriff

79
00:04:15,680 --> 00:04:20,040
Speaker 2: and his harassment squad. By the elections of nineteen forty six,

80
00:04:20,160 --> 00:04:24,120
Speaker 2: everyone had just about had enough. The veterans formed it

81
00:04:24,160 --> 00:04:27,880
Speaker 2: doesn't sound familiar. The veterans formed an outsider political party

82
00:04:27,880 --> 00:04:30,560
Speaker 2: and launched a campaign to unseat the sheriff and other

83
00:04:30,600 --> 00:04:34,560
Speaker 2: corrupt politicians. Veterans from across Tennessee traveled to the county

84
00:04:34,600 --> 00:04:38,440
Speaker 2: to observe and protect the ballot boxes. The new sheriff

85
00:04:38,600 --> 00:04:41,359
Speaker 2: was a sheriff named Pat Mansfield, but he was still

86
00:04:41,400 --> 00:04:46,160
Speaker 2: working in conjunction with the old sheriff, Paul Pintrell, and

87
00:04:46,279 --> 00:04:51,760
Speaker 2: they were still working to capture the ballot boxes and

88
00:04:51,880 --> 00:04:58,520
Speaker 2: rig the elections. Voter intimidation reports were everywhere. A legal

89
00:04:58,600 --> 00:05:01,719
Speaker 2: representative for the GI Party, that's the Veterans party that

90
00:05:01,760 --> 00:05:06,360
Speaker 2: they formed, was arrested for protesting voting irregularities. Soon after,

91
00:05:06,440 --> 00:05:09,680
Speaker 2: an elderly black farmer was beaten and shot by a

92
00:05:09,760 --> 00:05:14,400
Speaker 2: deputy for trying to vote. The GIS descended on the location,

93
00:05:14,640 --> 00:05:17,599
Speaker 2: forcing the offending deputy to almost fight his way to

94
00:05:17,720 --> 00:05:21,840
Speaker 2: his cruiser with a loaded pistol and the ballot box.

95
00:05:22,360 --> 00:05:25,839
Speaker 2: Deputies arrived at the GI party headquarters to make arrest

96
00:05:25,880 --> 00:05:29,640
Speaker 2: for the incident, but they were beaten and taken Captain,

97
00:05:29,920 --> 00:05:34,359
Speaker 2: do you hear what happened? The deputies tried to steal

98
00:05:34,400 --> 00:05:36,960
Speaker 2: the ballot box and beat up a black farmer for voting,

99
00:05:37,680 --> 00:05:41,440
Speaker 2: And the GIS went and beat up those deputies and

100
00:05:41,560 --> 00:05:46,160
Speaker 2: kidnapped them, and they detained them.

101
00:05:46,600 --> 00:05:49,000
Speaker 3: Oh you guys, They beat and detained the deputies.

102
00:05:50,760 --> 00:05:54,920
Speaker 2: Despite's and other physical altercations were reported across the precincts.

103
00:05:55,080 --> 00:05:57,680
Speaker 2: Despite the fierce battle for the safety of the ballot boxes,

104
00:05:57,720 --> 00:06:00,960
Speaker 2: the Sheriff's office absconded with a number of them and

105
00:06:01,040 --> 00:06:03,880
Speaker 2: barricaded themselves inside the local jail.

106
00:06:03,920 --> 00:06:06,080
Speaker 3: But here is where it gets good.

107
00:06:06,960 --> 00:06:10,600
Speaker 2: Instead of letting the corrupt government win, the hardcore veterans

108
00:06:10,600 --> 00:06:15,200
Speaker 2: seized the local National Guard armory, taking two ton trucks,

109
00:06:15,640 --> 00:06:18,960
Speaker 2: taking a two ton truck, arms and ammunitions to the

110
00:06:19,040 --> 00:06:19,920
Speaker 2: local jail.

111
00:06:20,400 --> 00:06:21,839
Speaker 3: An hours long.

112
00:06:21,720 --> 00:06:25,800
Speaker 2: Gunfight took place, but it failed to oust the sheriffs

113
00:06:25,839 --> 00:06:28,720
Speaker 2: and their men. So they went to the jail and

114
00:06:28,800 --> 00:06:31,800
Speaker 2: they launched a gun battle and assault on the jail

115
00:06:31,839 --> 00:06:34,919
Speaker 2: to get back those ballot boxes that the sheriff, the

116
00:06:35,000 --> 00:06:37,120
Speaker 2: elected sheriff, had stolen.

117
00:06:38,480 --> 00:06:40,800
Speaker 3: But that didn't work. They but did they give up? No,

118
00:06:41,279 --> 00:06:45,040
Speaker 3: these this is the greatest generation, my friends. They had

119
00:06:45,080 --> 00:06:48,560
Speaker 3: just returned from war. They beat Hitler. They were not

120
00:06:48,760 --> 00:06:49,320
Speaker 3: giving up.

121
00:06:50,720 --> 00:06:54,000
Speaker 2: They dynamited the jail and the wee hours of the morning,

122
00:06:54,720 --> 00:06:58,600
Speaker 2: forcing the deputies to surrender and surrender the ballot boxes.

123
00:06:59,480 --> 00:07:03,239
Speaker 2: The sheriff and his cohorts escape, but they eventually turned

124
00:07:03,279 --> 00:07:07,920
Speaker 2: themselves in and relinquished their positions to the rightful winners

125
00:07:08,040 --> 00:07:12,800
Speaker 2: of the election, which was the GI Party. Mansfield eventually

126
00:07:12,840 --> 00:07:17,840
Speaker 2: resigned conceded the election to the GI candidate Knox Henry.

127
00:07:17,960 --> 00:07:21,120
Speaker 2: All fees in excess of five thousand dollars were returned

128
00:07:21,160 --> 00:07:24,000
Speaker 2: to the townspeople. Can you imagine in nineteen forty six

129
00:07:24,280 --> 00:07:27,720
Speaker 2: they were charging people over five thousand dollars to get

130
00:07:27,720 --> 00:07:31,160
Speaker 2: themselves out of jail in nineteen forty six, Yeah, this

131
00:07:31,200 --> 00:07:35,760
Speaker 2: is tyranny. All fees were returned to the townspeople, and

132
00:07:35,840 --> 00:07:38,840
Speaker 2: the corruption that ran rampant was soon turned out at

133
00:07:38,920 --> 00:07:45,360
Speaker 2: every level of government. Round of applause for our gi heroes.

134
00:07:45,360 --> 00:07:47,960
Speaker 2: This took that they call it the Battle of Athens.

135
00:07:48,400 --> 00:07:52,440
Speaker 2: The Battle of Athens in Athens, Tennessee in nineteen forty six.

136
00:07:52,680 --> 00:07:53,520
Speaker 3: And as I was.

137
00:07:53,520 --> 00:07:55,160
Speaker 2: Reading the story, and this is why I wanted to

138
00:07:55,160 --> 00:07:59,160
Speaker 2: share it with you, excuse me, that's I was reading

139
00:07:59,160 --> 00:08:04,680
Speaker 2: the story, I thought to myself, Wow, this is a

140
00:08:04,720 --> 00:08:08,200
Speaker 2: really inspirational story because I'm looking around at how quickly

141
00:08:08,240 --> 00:08:11,120
Speaker 2: Trump is changing things, and I really, even though I'm

142
00:08:11,160 --> 00:08:13,360
Speaker 2: full of hope and have been an activist since the

143
00:08:13,400 --> 00:08:17,800
Speaker 2: Tea Party days, I guess I'm just like most of

144
00:08:17,800 --> 00:08:19,720
Speaker 2: you out there, just kind of thinking while the corruption

145
00:08:19,880 --> 00:08:22,320
Speaker 2: is what it is, and there's only so much you

146
00:08:22,360 --> 00:08:22,640
Speaker 2: can do.

147
00:08:22,680 --> 00:08:24,360
Speaker 3: It's just the way it is. And then Trump comes

148
00:08:24,440 --> 00:08:27,520
Speaker 3: in and it's like, no, we can do stuff. It's

149
00:08:27,520 --> 00:08:29,640
Speaker 3: gonna be hard, it's gonna be nasty, but we can

150
00:08:29,680 --> 00:08:30,160
Speaker 3: do stuff.

151
00:08:30,200 --> 00:08:32,560
Speaker 2: We can be effective, we can change things if we

152
00:08:32,679 --> 00:08:37,440
Speaker 2: have the political will and the right leaders. That's a

153
00:08:37,480 --> 00:08:40,200
Speaker 2: powerful message, you know, and it maybe think about how

154
00:08:40,240 --> 00:08:43,880
Speaker 2: what we lost when we stop teaching the core values

155
00:08:43,920 --> 00:08:48,520
Speaker 2: of the Revolutionary War. Right Again, I have public school students,

156
00:08:48,520 --> 00:08:49,720
Speaker 2: so I know how this goes down.

157
00:08:50,160 --> 00:08:51,360
Speaker 3: In most public schools.

158
00:08:51,600 --> 00:08:55,320
Speaker 2: You're doing a cursory summary of the Revolutionary War, and

159
00:08:55,360 --> 00:08:59,280
Speaker 2: then you're spending hours and hours and hours talking about

160
00:08:59,600 --> 00:09:04,080
Speaker 2: slave narratives and immigration and all of the you know

161
00:09:04,160 --> 00:09:07,400
Speaker 2: in the McCarthyism, and you spend hours and hours drilling

162
00:09:07,440 --> 00:09:12,800
Speaker 2: down on the terrible things that America has done and

163
00:09:12,920 --> 00:09:16,360
Speaker 2: been through, But you don't instill anything that has to

164
00:09:16,360 --> 00:09:20,120
Speaker 2: do with patriotism or government. Right the only time you

165
00:09:20,160 --> 00:09:22,680
Speaker 2: talk about government is to say, well, this is what

166
00:09:22,840 --> 00:09:26,520
Speaker 2: a republican government did, or this is what a republican

167
00:09:26,800 --> 00:09:28,360
Speaker 2: or what a government like the.

168
00:09:28,320 --> 00:09:30,640
Speaker 3: One we have now did.

169
00:09:31,640 --> 00:09:34,640
Speaker 2: What would change if this was the type of story

170
00:09:34,679 --> 00:09:37,160
Speaker 2: we told our kids every day and school, if this

171
00:09:37,280 --> 00:09:39,440
Speaker 2: was the type of story they had to memorize, not

172
00:09:39,520 --> 00:09:42,400
Speaker 2: because it glorifies guns or violence of it, but because

173
00:09:42,720 --> 00:09:45,600
Speaker 2: it is an example of the revolutionary spirit of the

174
00:09:45,600 --> 00:09:49,920
Speaker 2: American citizen. And it is an example of how our

175
00:09:50,000 --> 00:09:54,160
Speaker 2: relationship and our right relationship to our government, and how

176
00:09:54,200 --> 00:10:01,680
Speaker 2: if our government has turned into tyrannical, authoritarian creeps, we're

177
00:10:01,720 --> 00:10:04,160
Speaker 2: allowed to get mad about it, and we're allowed to

178
00:10:04,240 --> 00:10:07,080
Speaker 2: do something about it. And we can do something about it,

179
00:10:07,320 --> 00:10:09,560
Speaker 2: not just because we have our Second Amendment rights and

180
00:10:09,640 --> 00:10:12,880
Speaker 2: our human rights, but because we have the will, because

181
00:10:12,920 --> 00:10:15,480
Speaker 2: we have the metal, because we are Americans, and this

182
00:10:15,520 --> 00:10:16,320
Speaker 2: is what Americans do.

183
00:10:17,280 --> 00:10:18,080
Speaker 3: This is what we do.

184
00:10:19,800 --> 00:10:23,199
Speaker 2: We don't sit and whine about problems. We fix problems.

185
00:10:23,200 --> 00:10:25,600
Speaker 2: And that's been the problem with the left for the

186
00:10:25,679 --> 00:10:26,760
Speaker 2: last five years.

187
00:10:27,280 --> 00:10:29,000
Speaker 3: We've been forced we've.

188
00:10:28,800 --> 00:10:32,880
Speaker 2: Been muzzled and handcuffed and forced to listen to all

189
00:10:32,920 --> 00:10:36,559
Speaker 2: their whining for five years while the rest of us,

190
00:10:36,600 --> 00:10:39,679
Speaker 2: living in reality, are thinking, Okay, let's fix things. How

191
00:10:39,679 --> 00:10:41,560
Speaker 2: do we fix things? But we weren't allowed to even

192
00:10:41,679 --> 00:10:48,480
Speaker 2: ask that question. We COVID trained us, not just COVID,

193
00:10:48,520 --> 00:10:52,320
Speaker 2: but many decades of this. We've been trained out of

194
00:10:52,360 --> 00:10:55,160
Speaker 2: our revolutionary spirit and I think we need it back.

195
00:10:55,240 --> 00:10:57,360
Speaker 2: And I think where we start is the schools. We

196
00:10:57,480 --> 00:11:00,400
Speaker 2: start teaching stories like this in every school. It should

197
00:11:00,400 --> 00:11:02,800
Speaker 2: be at the front of every museum. It should be

198
00:11:02,800 --> 00:11:06,520
Speaker 2: on the cover of every textbook, right not because necessarily

199
00:11:06,600 --> 00:11:10,960
Speaker 2: it's this one story that's the best story. We need

200
00:11:10,960 --> 00:11:14,840
Speaker 2: to start indoctrinating our kids into what the revolutionary spirit

201
00:11:14,880 --> 00:11:15,680
Speaker 2: of America is.

202
00:11:15,720 --> 00:11:17,840
Speaker 3: Our government, for good reason, doesn't want to do that.

203
00:11:19,280 --> 00:11:21,120
Speaker 2: All right, let's take a break. I'm Curia Davis filling

204
00:11:21,160 --> 00:11:23,480
Speaker 2: in for Tony Katz, and you're listening to Tony Kats today.

205
00:11:23,960 --> 00:11:26,840
Speaker 2: Welcome back, everybody to Tony Katz Today.

206
00:11:27,600 --> 00:11:30,600
Speaker 3: We are rocking into the weekend. We are on our way.

207
00:11:30,640 --> 00:11:33,520
Speaker 2: Tony Kats is out. I'm your villain host Kira Davis.

208
00:11:35,000 --> 00:11:37,120
Speaker 2: How We've been talking about a lot of stuff and

209
00:11:37,520 --> 00:11:41,360
Speaker 2: I think I had a journey for this episode, but

210
00:11:41,960 --> 00:11:44,000
Speaker 2: X has been getting in my way because I keep

211
00:11:44,040 --> 00:11:46,840
Speaker 2: going to the feed and then seeing things that interest

212
00:11:46,880 --> 00:11:48,640
Speaker 2: me that I want to talk to you about. But

213
00:11:49,200 --> 00:11:52,439
Speaker 2: this one post is neither here nor there. Will Spencer,

214
00:11:52,440 --> 00:11:55,600
Speaker 2: he's a podcaster. He got married this week and he

215
00:11:55,600 --> 00:11:58,640
Speaker 2: said we court it for eleven months, and you know what,

216
00:11:58,800 --> 00:12:00,800
Speaker 2: I just felt like, Yeah, I want to talk about

217
00:12:00,800 --> 00:12:04,320
Speaker 2: that for a second. Ladies business more for ladies, because

218
00:12:04,320 --> 00:12:06,720
Speaker 2: I do think ladies are the keepers of the timelines

219
00:12:06,760 --> 00:12:10,680
Speaker 2: of relationships. We really are the keepers of romance and

220
00:12:10,720 --> 00:12:13,760
Speaker 2: we set the boundaries for men. Men break boundaries, that's

221
00:12:13,800 --> 00:12:15,680
Speaker 2: their job, right, and women set boundaries.

222
00:12:15,679 --> 00:12:19,280
Speaker 3: That's our job. And uh, but.

223
00:12:20,080 --> 00:12:22,360
Speaker 2: Y'all are dating too long, is what I'm saying. Y'all

224
00:12:22,400 --> 00:12:28,440
Speaker 2: are dating too long, but specifically ladies, because I think

225
00:12:28,600 --> 00:12:32,360
Speaker 2: most men, not all men, but many men don't know

226
00:12:32,440 --> 00:12:33,480
Speaker 2: that they want marriage, right.

227
00:12:33,520 --> 00:12:36,120
Speaker 3: They don't. This sounds terrible, but they don't.

228
00:12:36,240 --> 00:12:41,200
Speaker 2: You can ask many husbands right who finally settled down

229
00:12:41,240 --> 00:12:43,720
Speaker 2: with the one and then realized later, oh my gosh,

230
00:12:43,720 --> 00:12:46,720
Speaker 2: this is the best thing I ever did and I

231
00:12:46,720 --> 00:12:49,360
Speaker 2: can't imagine my life without this person. But most men,

232
00:12:49,640 --> 00:12:52,800
Speaker 2: you know, they have to see that and they got

233
00:12:52,840 --> 00:12:53,680
Speaker 2: to come to it themselves.

234
00:12:53,760 --> 00:12:54,520
Speaker 3: You can't force them.

235
00:12:54,559 --> 00:12:56,640
Speaker 2: I'm not suggesting that, but I'm just saying it's a

236
00:12:56,679 --> 00:13:01,120
Speaker 2: different We look at marriage differently, And ladies, if a

237
00:13:01,160 --> 00:13:04,800
Speaker 2: man wants, a man knows, a man knows, he knows.

238
00:13:04,800 --> 00:13:08,120
Speaker 2: If you're the one, think about this. How many times

239
00:13:08,120 --> 00:13:10,880
Speaker 2: in your life has this happened either to you or

240
00:13:10,920 --> 00:13:13,080
Speaker 2: you've seen it happen to somebody else. A data guy

241
00:13:13,320 --> 00:13:15,680
Speaker 2: you're dating for a while, it's pretty serious.

242
00:13:16,240 --> 00:13:18,080
Speaker 3: Uh, you want it to go.

243
00:13:18,000 --> 00:13:20,360
Speaker 2: To marriage, but he just says like, I don't believe

244
00:13:20,400 --> 00:13:22,080
Speaker 2: in marriage, or it's just a piece of paper.

245
00:13:22,200 --> 00:13:24,199
Speaker 3: I don't see what the big deal is. It's working

246
00:13:24,240 --> 00:13:25,040
Speaker 3: for us right now.

247
00:13:25,240 --> 00:13:27,160
Speaker 2: He wants to be with you, but he brushes off

248
00:13:27,320 --> 00:13:30,480
Speaker 2: that that extra commitment, and maybe you make that work

249
00:13:30,520 --> 00:13:33,120
Speaker 2: in your mind for a little while, and then for

250
00:13:33,200 --> 00:13:36,560
Speaker 2: whatever reason, you break up and six months later he's

251
00:13:36,760 --> 00:13:40,040
Speaker 2: married with a kid on the way. It happens all

252
00:13:40,080 --> 00:13:42,760
Speaker 2: the time, doesn't because it wasn't that he didn't want

253
00:13:42,760 --> 00:13:45,240
Speaker 2: to get married, it's that he didn't want to get

254
00:13:45,240 --> 00:13:45,920
Speaker 2: married to you.

255
00:13:46,360 --> 00:13:50,160
Speaker 3: A man knows, a man knows when he wants to

256
00:13:50,160 --> 00:13:51,480
Speaker 3: be with a woman, and he will propose.

257
00:13:51,520 --> 00:13:54,600
Speaker 2: So, ladies, I believe a year is more than enough

258
00:13:54,600 --> 00:13:56,600
Speaker 2: time to know if you want to spend the rest

259
00:13:56,640 --> 00:13:59,000
Speaker 2: of your life with somebody, and if you can't imagine

260
00:13:59,000 --> 00:14:01,040
Speaker 2: yourself spending the rest of your life with that person,

261
00:14:01,360 --> 00:14:02,440
Speaker 2: don't waste your time.

262
00:14:02,720 --> 00:14:03,520
Speaker 3: You don't have it.

263
00:14:04,080 --> 00:14:08,480
Speaker 2: You don't have time, ladies. The timeline on your ovaries

264
00:14:08,600 --> 00:14:11,640
Speaker 2: is limited. Don't let the world lie to you. Just

265
00:14:11,679 --> 00:14:13,880
Speaker 2: because you can look twenty at forty doesn't mean your

266
00:14:13,880 --> 00:14:15,920
Speaker 2: ovaries are going to be twenty at forty if you

267
00:14:15,960 --> 00:14:18,400
Speaker 2: want a family, If you're starting a family in your twenties,

268
00:14:18,400 --> 00:14:21,960
Speaker 2: it's already too late. Biologically speaking, our bodies are really

269
00:14:22,000 --> 00:14:25,120
Speaker 2: made to be starting the.

270
00:14:25,040 --> 00:14:26,960
Speaker 3: Birth process in our teens now.

271
00:14:27,240 --> 00:14:34,440
Speaker 2: Societally speaking, no, regardless, biology stays the same. So when

272
00:14:34,440 --> 00:14:38,800
Speaker 2: we're pushing families into our late twenties, that's already pretty

273
00:14:38,880 --> 00:14:44,160
Speaker 2: late on the biological timeline. Men don't have that same timeline. Ladies,

274
00:14:44,600 --> 00:14:47,480
Speaker 2: you have to set it. That means you have to

275
00:14:47,520 --> 00:14:49,840
Speaker 2: be brave. Tony's going to be like, why did you

276
00:14:49,880 --> 00:14:55,480
Speaker 2: turn my show into a relationship podcast? I feel it's

277
00:14:55,640 --> 00:14:57,880
Speaker 2: just a message that doesn't get set enough out there

278
00:14:57,960 --> 00:15:00,680
Speaker 2: because we're all telling these women to go girl boss

279
00:15:00,720 --> 00:15:05,320
Speaker 2: your way to the future, to screw everybody and be happy.

280
00:15:05,520 --> 00:15:06,560
Speaker 3: And you know what, I'm.

281
00:15:06,360 --> 00:15:08,840
Speaker 2: In my fifties now, and I have a ton of

282
00:15:08,880 --> 00:15:12,400
Speaker 2: single friends my age and older who made that choice

283
00:15:12,480 --> 00:15:14,640
Speaker 2: right to go get their bag in their twenties, to

284
00:15:14,720 --> 00:15:17,160
Speaker 2: go live it up, to have their adventures, to do

285
00:15:17,200 --> 00:15:19,480
Speaker 2: what they want to not get locked down to date

286
00:15:19,520 --> 00:15:22,520
Speaker 2: as many guys, and now they're at an age where

287
00:15:22,520 --> 00:15:26,239
Speaker 2: they don't have the same options and they're lonely and regretful.

288
00:15:26,800 --> 00:15:30,120
Speaker 3: Every last one of them, with maybe with the exception of.

289
00:15:31,360 --> 00:15:40,160
Speaker 2: It's great, is they're regretful. So, ladies, let me encourage

290
00:15:40,200 --> 00:15:43,000
Speaker 2: you to be honest with younger women when they're coming

291
00:15:43,040 --> 00:15:44,920
Speaker 2: to you with this kind of stuff. I had a

292
00:15:44,960 --> 00:15:47,960
Speaker 2: family member who was thirty five and she was dating

293
00:15:47,960 --> 00:15:49,360
Speaker 2: a guy for a long time and I was like,

294
00:15:49,360 --> 00:15:50,440
Speaker 2: are you guys gonna get married?

295
00:15:50,480 --> 00:15:52,320
Speaker 3: And she's like, well, you know, we're thinking.

296
00:15:52,040 --> 00:15:55,600
Speaker 2: About it and we're not in a rush. And I said, well,

297
00:15:56,640 --> 00:15:59,160
Speaker 2: do you want kids? And she said, yeah, I want four.

298
00:16:00,080 --> 00:16:02,840
Speaker 2: At thirty five, she said I want four. So I

299
00:16:02,960 --> 00:16:05,800
Speaker 2: said to her, if you want four kids at your age,

300
00:16:05,960 --> 00:16:09,040
Speaker 2: you needed to have started ten years ago. You're gonna

301
00:16:09,040 --> 00:16:12,360
Speaker 2: be lucky to squeeze at one, so you better get

302
00:16:12,400 --> 00:16:15,760
Speaker 2: that done. And she was like, wow, Kira, that's harsh.

303
00:16:15,920 --> 00:16:19,160
Speaker 2: You just really don't pull any punches. I didn't think

304
00:16:19,160 --> 00:16:21,480
Speaker 2: it was harsh. I thought it was reality. She said,

305
00:16:21,560 --> 00:16:23,640
Speaker 2: no one had ever told her that before. And you

306
00:16:23,680 --> 00:16:25,720
Speaker 2: know what, She's not the first grown woman I've heard

307
00:16:25,760 --> 00:16:28,760
Speaker 2: say that. I know a woman in her fifties who

308
00:16:28,840 --> 00:16:32,360
Speaker 2: thought who turned fifty? She turned fifty and thought she

309
00:16:32,440 --> 00:16:34,160
Speaker 2: was gonna go have a baby. She thought she could

310
00:16:34,200 --> 00:16:34,960
Speaker 2: squeeze out one.

311
00:16:35,080 --> 00:16:36,640
Speaker 3: At fifty. She was an actress.

312
00:16:36,680 --> 00:16:38,880
Speaker 2: She did her whole life in the industry, and then

313
00:16:38,920 --> 00:16:42,120
Speaker 2: at fifty thought, I'm gonna go get all this great

314
00:16:42,120 --> 00:16:43,680
Speaker 2: help and I'm finally going to become a mom.

315
00:16:43,720 --> 00:16:46,040
Speaker 3: Now I'm ready. And of course the doctor told her, no,

316
00:16:46,400 --> 00:16:47,160
Speaker 3: it's too old.

317
00:16:47,200 --> 00:16:49,400
Speaker 2: You don't have any eggs left and any if you

318
00:16:49,480 --> 00:16:52,880
Speaker 2: were to get pregnant as a first time pregnancy at fifty,

319
00:16:53,040 --> 00:16:56,720
Speaker 2: you're probably it's not going to happen. And she was devastated.

320
00:16:57,640 --> 00:17:01,320
Speaker 2: She was devastated. No one had ever told her that before.

321
00:17:01,840 --> 00:17:06,640
Speaker 2: You think people know, and they don't because they watch

322
00:17:06,760 --> 00:17:09,640
Speaker 2: MSNBC all day and they tell you be a girl, boss,

323
00:17:10,200 --> 00:17:12,600
Speaker 2: do whatever you want. Time is on your side. You

324
00:17:12,680 --> 00:17:15,359
Speaker 2: got nothing but time. No, ladies, you don't have time.

325
00:17:15,480 --> 00:17:19,000
Speaker 2: Our time to choose a good partner is very limited.

326
00:17:19,000 --> 00:17:21,680
Speaker 2: It only gets more difficult. Men don't have the same problem.

327
00:17:22,680 --> 00:17:24,600
Speaker 2: So don't fall prey to that trap that you need

328
00:17:24,600 --> 00:17:26,320
Speaker 2: to go out there and have all your adventure first

329
00:17:26,359 --> 00:17:28,239
Speaker 2: and then settle down. You find a person to have

330
00:17:28,320 --> 00:17:31,280
Speaker 2: your adventure with, and if that person is not on

331
00:17:31,320 --> 00:17:34,800
Speaker 2: the same page as you, move on. Be brave, take

332
00:17:34,840 --> 00:17:38,160
Speaker 2: the hit, eat ice cream for a few weeks and.

333
00:17:38,080 --> 00:17:40,560
Speaker 3: Be sad like gut up.

334
00:17:42,280 --> 00:17:44,840
Speaker 2: So what you what, somebody, all ladies are settling for

335
00:17:45,000 --> 00:17:49,399
Speaker 2: out there? You're making men worse. You're making men worse

336
00:17:49,480 --> 00:17:53,480
Speaker 2: by settling for so much. A man knows when he

337
00:17:53,560 --> 00:17:58,520
Speaker 2: wants to propose to you. A man knows when he knows.

338
00:17:58,880 --> 00:18:02,719
Speaker 2: That's why you waited around for the ring for five years,

339
00:18:02,760 --> 00:18:05,000
Speaker 2: and the second you broke off with him, he went

340
00:18:05,040 --> 00:18:07,360
Speaker 2: and got a girl pregnant and married her, and now

341
00:18:07,400 --> 00:18:11,960
Speaker 2: he has a family. That's why someone out there must

342
00:18:12,000 --> 00:18:13,760
Speaker 2: have needed to hear this today. Because there's no reason

343
00:18:13,800 --> 00:18:15,440
Speaker 2: for me to be talking like this on the radio.

344
00:18:16,960 --> 00:18:17,800
Speaker 3: I think someone else.

345
00:18:17,880 --> 00:18:19,639
Speaker 2: I think someone out there just needed to hear it.

346
00:18:19,880 --> 00:18:22,119
Speaker 2: And I don't think we older women say it enough.

347
00:18:23,080 --> 00:18:24,280
Speaker 2: We don't say it enough.

348
00:18:24,880 --> 00:18:25,600
Speaker 3: I don't think.

349
00:18:25,600 --> 00:18:28,680
Speaker 2: We're so worried about hurting people's feelings. But I think

350
00:18:28,720 --> 00:18:30,879
Speaker 2: some young women need to. I tell my daughter that

351
00:18:30,920 --> 00:18:32,639
Speaker 2: she's seventeen, I tell her all the time. If you

352
00:18:32,680 --> 00:18:35,560
Speaker 2: meet someone at college that you think is an appropriate

353
00:18:35,640 --> 00:18:36,920
Speaker 2: partner for you, and.

354
00:18:36,880 --> 00:18:38,560
Speaker 3: He's a good man, you know it's got to have

355
00:18:38,680 --> 00:18:39,720
Speaker 3: some standards.

356
00:18:40,320 --> 00:18:43,919
Speaker 2: Don't do yourself the disservice of walking away from that

357
00:18:44,119 --> 00:18:46,600
Speaker 2: because you're in college and you want to be free and.

358
00:18:47,119 --> 00:18:50,840
Speaker 3: Lock that down. You know, college is where a lot

359
00:18:50,840 --> 00:18:51,960
Speaker 3: of people find spouses.

360
00:18:52,040 --> 00:18:54,360
Speaker 2: I would love for my daughter to find a good

361
00:18:54,520 --> 00:18:55,720
Speaker 2: man at college.

362
00:18:56,440 --> 00:18:59,600
Speaker 3: As a matter of fact, I think that's the number

363
00:18:59,600 --> 00:19:02,639
Speaker 3: one reason she should go to college. Be honest. She

364
00:19:02,720 --> 00:19:03,440
Speaker 3: wants to be a mom.

365
00:19:03,440 --> 00:19:07,280
Speaker 2: She wants a family someday, so you know, go to

366
00:19:07,320 --> 00:19:09,960
Speaker 2: where the future partners are, you know what I mean.

367
00:19:10,000 --> 00:19:12,040
Speaker 2: Get an education while you're doing it. Maybe that'll turn

368
00:19:12,080 --> 00:19:14,439
Speaker 2: into something fun. But really, if you want a family,

369
00:19:14,520 --> 00:19:17,120
Speaker 2: go to college. Ladies, go to college with the intention

370
00:19:17,720 --> 00:19:19,719
Speaker 2: of finding a husband, and the intentional about it.

371
00:19:19,840 --> 00:19:21,080
Speaker 3: You'll be creepy about it.

372
00:19:21,880 --> 00:19:24,480
Speaker 2: Just just have a just have a strength, just have

373
00:19:24,560 --> 00:19:28,760
Speaker 2: an intention, all right, Want more break and we'll be back.

374
00:19:29,240 --> 00:19:30,639
Speaker 3: Not want more but another break.

375
00:19:34,440 --> 00:19:41,359
Speaker 2: Welcome back, everybody. We are rolling into the weekend. I

376
00:19:41,400 --> 00:19:44,080
Speaker 2: hope you have big plans for the UH for the weekend.

377
00:19:44,240 --> 00:19:48,480
Speaker 2: I don't really have any plans. Well, as I was

378
00:19:48,520 --> 00:19:50,960
Speaker 2: just looking at my schedule tomorrow. I actually will be

379
00:19:51,640 --> 00:19:56,720
Speaker 2: on American Agenda tomorrow on news Back at two fifty Eastern.

380
00:19:57,040 --> 00:20:00,760
Speaker 2: Tune into the American Agenda on Newsmax and I think

381
00:20:00,800 --> 00:20:05,560
Speaker 2: I'm gonna be talking about uh, Sydney Sweeney Probably We're

382
00:20:05,600 --> 00:20:07,359
Speaker 2: still We're still.

383
00:20:07,119 --> 00:20:09,720
Speaker 3: In Sydney Sweeneyland. Not a bad place to be.

384
00:20:09,880 --> 00:20:13,359
Speaker 2: She's a very attractive girl, so not a terrible conversation

385
00:20:13,440 --> 00:20:16,399
Speaker 2: to be having. But it just it's really stunning me

386
00:20:16,560 --> 00:20:21,800
Speaker 2: how long this is hanging on. But again, I just

387
00:20:21,880 --> 00:20:24,200
Speaker 2: I think it's a symptom of what we've what we're

388
00:20:24,240 --> 00:20:25,560
Speaker 2: decompressing from.

389
00:20:27,280 --> 00:20:28,639
Speaker 3: From the last four years.

390
00:20:28,680 --> 00:20:31,240
Speaker 2: I think this is just like America letting out its

391
00:20:31,280 --> 00:20:35,640
Speaker 2: collective breath. In fact, I wrote an article about that,

392
00:20:35,760 --> 00:20:38,840
Speaker 2: letting out our collective breath. It's at my It's at

393
00:20:38,840 --> 00:20:41,280
Speaker 2: my website, and that that's how it feels.

394
00:20:41,920 --> 00:20:43,679
Speaker 3: That's how July fourth felt to me.

395
00:20:44,359 --> 00:20:47,840
Speaker 2: This July fourth felt really celebratory in way in a

396
00:20:47,880 --> 00:20:50,760
Speaker 2: way that it hasn't for the last few years.

397
00:20:50,880 --> 00:20:53,400
Speaker 3: And I felt that when I was out and.

398
00:20:53,359 --> 00:20:57,400
Speaker 2: About, I decided that whole week to wear Americana and

399
00:20:57,440 --> 00:20:57,840
Speaker 2: I put a.

400
00:20:58,000 --> 00:20:59,600
Speaker 3: I put a hundred flags in my.

401
00:21:00,119 --> 00:21:05,320
Speaker 2: Yard, which I don't think the HOA was super happy about,

402
00:21:05,359 --> 00:21:08,159
Speaker 2: but it was just for the holiday week of one

403
00:21:08,240 --> 00:21:11,560
Speaker 2: hundred flags in my front yard. But other people when

404
00:21:11,600 --> 00:21:14,480
Speaker 2: I went places in my America gear. People were excited

405
00:21:14,520 --> 00:21:16,040
Speaker 2: to see me that, Oh I love it. You know.

406
00:21:16,680 --> 00:21:18,480
Speaker 2: I think there were some people who were still in

407
00:21:18,520 --> 00:21:20,920
Speaker 2: the mode of we have to be quiet about our patriotism,

408
00:21:21,000 --> 00:21:23,520
Speaker 2: and then they and then seeing me out there just

409
00:21:23,560 --> 00:21:25,840
Speaker 2: gave them permission to be like, no, right, we can

410
00:21:25,920 --> 00:21:28,240
Speaker 2: celebrate again. Right, we can celebrate America again.

411
00:21:29,080 --> 00:21:29,639
Speaker 3: Yeah.

412
00:21:29,680 --> 00:21:35,240
Speaker 2: So I've definitely been noticing this snap back to patriotism,

413
00:21:35,280 --> 00:21:38,440
Speaker 2: which I think shows you again that none of this

414
00:21:38,680 --> 00:21:42,840
Speaker 2: was organic, that this was all manufactured. Look that PBS

415
00:21:42,840 --> 00:21:46,320
Speaker 2: story that I read to earlier on this hour, PBS

416
00:21:46,400 --> 00:21:49,639
Speaker 2: is pulling. They're closing, They're closing the doors. They can't

417
00:21:50,680 --> 00:21:54,040
Speaker 2: make a model work any other way than stealing your

418
00:21:54,119 --> 00:21:55,440
Speaker 2: money to employ them.

419
00:21:55,840 --> 00:21:57,840
Speaker 3: They don't have a product you want to buy. They

420
00:21:57,840 --> 00:21:59,320
Speaker 3: don't have a product you want to watch.

421
00:21:59,520 --> 00:22:01,680
Speaker 2: They don't have a product they can sell to anyone,

422
00:22:01,920 --> 00:22:04,200
Speaker 2: or they don't have a product that has any relevance

423
00:22:04,240 --> 00:22:08,080
Speaker 2: in any area of society. Rather than go and figure

424
00:22:08,119 --> 00:22:11,200
Speaker 2: out how to make it profitable, or figure out maybe

425
00:22:11,400 --> 00:22:16,840
Speaker 2: move to streaming, maybe tear down, they just quit, right,

426
00:22:16,880 --> 00:22:22,120
Speaker 2: they just they just quit. I think I was going

427
00:22:22,119 --> 00:22:23,520
Speaker 2: somewhere with that point, but I lost my train.

428
00:22:23,560 --> 00:22:24,200
Speaker 3: Of thought, like I'm.

429
00:22:24,119 --> 00:22:28,200
Speaker 2: Fifty one now, but let me read to you this

430
00:22:28,320 --> 00:22:31,480
Speaker 2: tweet from the struggle is real, y'all.

431
00:22:32,280 --> 00:22:33,760
Speaker 3: The struggle is so very real.

432
00:22:33,840 --> 00:22:36,800
Speaker 2: I don't know how women in broadcasting do it, actually,

433
00:22:36,800 --> 00:22:38,320
Speaker 2: because menopause thing is real.

434
00:22:38,640 --> 00:22:39,480
Speaker 3: That brain fog.

435
00:22:39,720 --> 00:22:42,560
Speaker 2: It reminds me of when I was pregnant and a

436
00:22:42,560 --> 00:22:44,040
Speaker 2: lot of people say, oh, you got mommy brain.

437
00:22:44,400 --> 00:22:45,560
Speaker 3: I was like, what's mommy brain?

438
00:22:45,960 --> 00:22:49,240
Speaker 2: Just there's so much extra energy and important stuff going

439
00:22:49,280 --> 00:22:51,160
Speaker 2: to the baby that you just lose your mind.

440
00:22:51,200 --> 00:22:53,160
Speaker 3: You can't remember things.

441
00:22:52,840 --> 00:22:56,120
Speaker 2: You get confused easily, you feel like your thoughts are muddled.

442
00:22:56,800 --> 00:22:59,760
Speaker 2: That's how I feel in menopause, except I'm not going

443
00:22:59,800 --> 00:23:02,440
Speaker 2: to get at the great reward of a baby.

444
00:23:02,119 --> 00:23:04,040
Speaker 3: At the end. Thanks God.

445
00:23:05,760 --> 00:23:08,320
Speaker 2: From Donald Trump on to Social Today. Talked about the

446
00:23:08,400 --> 00:23:11,600
Speaker 2: job reports number. We were talking about the job reports.

447
00:23:11,640 --> 00:23:14,760
Speaker 2: I mentioned it earlier. I said, look, the numbers are bad.

448
00:23:14,800 --> 00:23:18,679
Speaker 2: They looked terrible. They were revised sharply from like one

449
00:23:18,760 --> 00:23:23,160
Speaker 2: hundred and thirty nine thousand plus to nineteen thousand.

450
00:23:24,320 --> 00:23:25,560
Speaker 3: That's a huge reduction.

451
00:23:25,960 --> 00:23:27,840
Speaker 2: And in my mind, I didn't make a big deal

452
00:23:27,880 --> 00:23:30,080
Speaker 2: of it for a number of reasons. One, I think

453
00:23:30,160 --> 00:23:33,080
Speaker 2: that you know, the deep state is still controlling a

454
00:23:33,080 --> 00:23:36,399
Speaker 2: lot of the numbers, and so we can't really depend

455
00:23:36,440 --> 00:23:40,680
Speaker 2: on government statistics right now. That's not going to change

456
00:23:40,680 --> 00:23:42,240
Speaker 2: for a while. It's going to take a long time

457
00:23:42,440 --> 00:23:47,680
Speaker 2: to root out the rot. Then the other thing was that,

458
00:23:47,960 --> 00:23:50,800
Speaker 2: you know, I wasn't sure how the you know, the

459
00:23:50,840 --> 00:23:55,200
Speaker 2: federal workforce firings had affected that number, or the ice raids.

460
00:23:55,240 --> 00:23:57,320
Speaker 3: I wasn't sure about that, So you never know about that.

461
00:23:58,160 --> 00:24:00,760
Speaker 2: And then the other thing is like, I know there

462
00:24:00,760 --> 00:24:02,960
Speaker 2: are a lot of people who feel that someone like

463
00:24:03,000 --> 00:24:06,120
Speaker 2: me is a hypocrite because I might complain about Biden

464
00:24:06,200 --> 00:24:08,480
Speaker 2: doing certain things that I don't complain about Trump doing

465
00:24:08,480 --> 00:24:09,159
Speaker 2: the same things.

466
00:24:09,160 --> 00:24:12,360
Speaker 3: But here's the point. This is why it's so important to.

467
00:24:12,359 --> 00:24:15,480
Speaker 2: Be an adult and act like an adult and understand

468
00:24:15,560 --> 00:24:18,359
Speaker 2: that adults can hold two thoughts in their heads at

469
00:24:18,400 --> 00:24:23,240
Speaker 2: the same time, and that life is nuanced. Look, if

470
00:24:23,240 --> 00:24:31,680
Speaker 2: President Biden is uh, you know, doing something bad and

471
00:24:31,920 --> 00:24:37,840
Speaker 2: everything is bad, then that's bad. If President Trump is

472
00:24:38,040 --> 00:24:40,879
Speaker 2: doing something maybe that we don't life or that I

473
00:24:40,920 --> 00:24:43,800
Speaker 2: don't agree with, but the country is doing well, then

474
00:24:43,840 --> 00:24:44,720
Speaker 2: that's not bad.

475
00:24:45,080 --> 00:24:48,000
Speaker 3: That's just disagreement. Do you know what I mean? Am

476
00:24:48,000 --> 00:24:48,600
Speaker 3: I making sense?

477
00:24:48,640 --> 00:24:54,560
Speaker 2: Here. But if look, I've Christy no great example. People

478
00:24:54,600 --> 00:24:57,040
Speaker 2: get on her about her looks all the time she has.

479
00:24:57,480 --> 00:24:59,960
Speaker 2: She's a perfect example of what happens to a woman,

480
00:25:00,080 --> 00:25:02,480
Speaker 2: and it happens to all of us, most of us,

481
00:25:02,520 --> 00:25:04,080
Speaker 2: what happens to a woman when you get in.

482
00:25:04,080 --> 00:25:06,560
Speaker 3: The public eye. You do get a lot of comments

483
00:25:06,560 --> 00:25:07,320
Speaker 3: on your looks.

484
00:25:07,520 --> 00:25:11,479
Speaker 2: And even the strongest woman cannot like you're not immune

485
00:25:11,520 --> 00:25:14,359
Speaker 2: to that. Even the strongest, most confident woman, you're not

486
00:25:14,400 --> 00:25:16,440
Speaker 2: immune to its wife. A lot of your favorite women

487
00:25:16,480 --> 00:25:19,040
Speaker 2: out there get all that work done. It's just the

488
00:25:19,080 --> 00:25:21,359
Speaker 2: struggle is real. I try not to be too judgmental

489
00:25:21,359 --> 00:25:23,479
Speaker 2: about it because I live in you know, the in

490
00:25:23,520 --> 00:25:25,600
Speaker 2: Hollywood land too, and you just see it.

491
00:25:25,600 --> 00:25:26,120
Speaker 3: It's tough.

492
00:25:26,119 --> 00:25:29,800
Speaker 2: It's really hard, even just being a little old podcaster

493
00:25:30,040 --> 00:25:32,240
Speaker 2: like me. I'm not famous or anything, but even me,

494
00:25:32,760 --> 00:25:35,400
Speaker 2: the weight fluctuations that had over the years, and being

495
00:25:35,440 --> 00:25:37,800
Speaker 2: a mom and being I was a drunk for a

496
00:25:37,840 --> 00:25:38,679
Speaker 2: little while.

497
00:25:38,520 --> 00:25:41,200
Speaker 3: And you know all that stuff, people comment on it.

498
00:25:41,200 --> 00:25:43,400
Speaker 3: It does. It gets to you. Now.

499
00:25:43,480 --> 00:25:45,840
Speaker 2: Some of us can just move on from it, but

500
00:25:45,960 --> 00:25:49,080
Speaker 2: some people like Christy No, take it to heart, and

501
00:25:49,080 --> 00:25:50,640
Speaker 2: then you know she's got the extension.

502
00:25:50,680 --> 00:25:53,360
Speaker 3: She's got the fillers, she got it. It's getting crazy.

503
00:25:54,080 --> 00:25:57,240
Speaker 2: She's got the outfits and the makeup and she's posing

504
00:25:57,280 --> 00:25:59,959
Speaker 2: in full glam in front of jail cells.

505
00:26:00,080 --> 00:26:03,680
Speaker 3: And all right, I get the criticism. Here's my point.

506
00:26:04,119 --> 00:26:08,240
Speaker 2: If Christy Nolme is out there looking like a weird

507
00:26:08,320 --> 00:26:13,280
Speaker 2: old Barbie doll and doing her job, I'm fine with it.

508
00:26:13,280 --> 00:26:17,439
Speaker 3: It's fine. It's not how I would conduct things. But

509
00:26:18,040 --> 00:26:19,359
Speaker 3: is she doing her job?

510
00:26:19,480 --> 00:26:22,520
Speaker 2: Fine When Kambala Harris is out there cackling and showing

511
00:26:22,600 --> 00:26:24,960
Speaker 2: up on late night shows as the vice president of

512
00:26:25,000 --> 00:26:28,280
Speaker 2: the United States where while our border is wide open

513
00:26:28,560 --> 00:26:31,520
Speaker 2: and people are literally dying at the hands of criminal

514
00:26:31,560 --> 00:26:36,040
Speaker 2: illegal immigrants, then but then that's bad. No, she shouldn't

515
00:26:36,040 --> 00:26:38,800
Speaker 2: be out there laughing and joking it up because that's bad.

516
00:26:38,960 --> 00:26:41,960
Speaker 2: Bad things are happening. Yeah, she could do that if

517
00:26:42,119 --> 00:26:46,320
Speaker 2: good things are happening, if she's doing her job beating

518
00:26:46,320 --> 00:26:49,639
Speaker 2: the dead cord. Here's what Trump said. I was just

519
00:26:49,680 --> 00:26:53,679
Speaker 2: informed that our county's job numbers, our country's job numbers

520
00:26:53,720 --> 00:26:56,760
Speaker 2: are being produced by a Biden appoint e named doctor

521
00:26:56,880 --> 00:27:01,440
Speaker 2: Erica Mcannerfer. I have never it's a mix and I've

522
00:27:01,480 --> 00:27:06,040
Speaker 2: never seen this name mcannifor mce and tar Fer. We

523
00:27:06,080 --> 00:27:09,359
Speaker 2: can't offer anyways. See I already hate her because I

524
00:27:09,359 --> 00:27:13,080
Speaker 2: already hate her name. The Commissioner of Labor Statistics who

525
00:27:13,080 --> 00:27:15,560
Speaker 2: faked the job numbers before the election to try and

526
00:27:15,600 --> 00:27:19,240
Speaker 2: boost camel A's chances of victory. This is the same

527
00:27:19,280 --> 00:27:22,919
Speaker 2: Bureau of Labor Statistics that overstated the job's growth in

528
00:27:22,960 --> 00:27:26,439
Speaker 2: March twenty twenty four by approximately eight hundred and eighteen thousand,

529
00:27:26,840 --> 00:27:29,600
Speaker 2: and then again right before the twenty twenty four presidential

530
00:27:29,640 --> 00:27:34,000
Speaker 2: election in August and September by one hundred and twelve thousand.

531
00:27:34,680 --> 00:27:38,040
Speaker 2: These were records. No one can be that wrong. We

532
00:27:38,080 --> 00:27:41,200
Speaker 2: need accurate jobs numbers. I have directed my team to

533
00:27:41,240 --> 00:27:45,320
Speaker 2: fire this Biden political appointee immediately. She will be replaced

534
00:27:45,320 --> 00:27:48,720
Speaker 2: with someone who is more competent and qualified. Important numbers

535
00:27:48,800 --> 00:27:51,120
Speaker 2: like this must be fair and accurate, and they can't

536
00:27:51,119 --> 00:27:54,439
Speaker 2: be manipulated for political purposes. The CANTI first said there

537
00:27:54,440 --> 00:27:58,359
Speaker 2: were only seventy three thousand jobs added a show, but

538
00:27:58,400 --> 00:28:01,760
Speaker 2: more importantly than a major mistake was made by them

539
00:28:02,440 --> 00:28:06,000
Speaker 2: two hundred and fifty eight thousand jobs downward in the

540
00:28:06,040 --> 00:28:10,920
Speaker 2: prior two months. Similar things happened in the first part

541
00:28:10,920 --> 00:28:13,720
Speaker 2: of the year always to the negative. The economy is

542
00:28:13,800 --> 00:28:17,560
Speaker 2: booming under Trump, despite a FED that also plays games

543
00:28:17,600 --> 00:28:20,679
Speaker 2: this time of interest rate where they lowered them twice

544
00:28:20,920 --> 00:28:24,960
Speaker 2: and substantially just before the presidential election, I assume in

545
00:28:25,000 --> 00:28:26,840
Speaker 2: the hopes of getting Kamela elected.

546
00:28:27,080 --> 00:28:30,000
Speaker 3: How did that work out? Jerome too late? Powell should

547
00:28:30,000 --> 00:28:32,840
Speaker 3: also be put out pasture. Thank you for your attention

548
00:28:33,040 --> 00:28:39,760
Speaker 3: to this matter. I love this president. This is the

549
00:28:39,760 --> 00:28:40,880
Speaker 3: berest president of my life.

550
00:28:41,960 --> 00:28:44,720
Speaker 2: Yeah, but this is a problem, right, and again there's

551
00:28:45,160 --> 00:28:48,480
Speaker 2: the professional contrarians out there on our side of the fence,

552
00:28:48,480 --> 00:28:50,360
Speaker 2: and of course all the liberals out there going, oh,

553
00:28:50,400 --> 00:28:53,880
Speaker 2: this is bad, this is lying. See, this is bad

554
00:28:53,960 --> 00:28:57,000
Speaker 2: news for Trump, and he's trying to massage the numbers

555
00:28:57,040 --> 00:28:58,200
Speaker 2: and he looks like a pool.

556
00:28:58,240 --> 00:28:59,440
Speaker 3: No, he's telling the truth.

557
00:29:00,120 --> 00:29:03,160
Speaker 2: What you've seen, what we have uncovered in the last

558
00:29:03,160 --> 00:29:05,800
Speaker 2: eight months. How can you say that Trump is just

559
00:29:05,880 --> 00:29:09,760
Speaker 2: being a blow hard for actually suggesting that the job

560
00:29:09,840 --> 00:29:13,600
Speaker 2: numbers are manipulated because Biden employees are still working.

561
00:29:15,440 --> 00:29:16,640
Speaker 3: Why is that crazy?

562
00:29:17,120 --> 00:29:20,080
Speaker 2: What? What about what we've gone through over the last

563
00:29:20,120 --> 00:29:21,480
Speaker 2: five years makes you.

564
00:29:21,480 --> 00:29:23,560
Speaker 3: Think that that would be a crazy thing to say.

565
00:29:23,720 --> 00:29:31,640
Speaker 2: Trump's been right about everything y'all everythang. Okay, let's look,

566
00:29:32,040 --> 00:29:35,240
Speaker 2: let me, let me get back down into my lower

567
00:29:35,320 --> 00:29:40,960
Speaker 2: registers so I don't brush your ears with my rage.

568
00:29:41,320 --> 00:29:43,960
Speaker 2: Let's take one more break and we'll come back to

569
00:29:43,960 --> 00:29:46,160
Speaker 2: close out the show. I'm Kia Davis filling it for

570
00:29:46,200 --> 00:29:48,160
Speaker 2: Tony Kats and this is Tony Kats Today.

571
00:29:48,520 --> 00:29:52,920
Speaker 3: Welcome back everybody to Tony Kats Today. I'm Kia Davis.

572
00:29:52,960 --> 00:29:55,000
Speaker 3: Has been great to say with.

573
00:29:54,960 --> 00:29:57,240
Speaker 2: You for a couple of days this week and keep

574
00:29:57,320 --> 00:29:59,080
Speaker 2: the chair warm while Tony is away.

575
00:29:59,120 --> 00:30:00,640
Speaker 3: But he'll be back next week.

576
00:30:01,880 --> 00:30:05,080
Speaker 2: Just a little, a little bit more in these jobs numbers,

577
00:30:05,560 --> 00:30:10,080
Speaker 2: I was just looking on X and you know, seeing a.

578
00:30:10,080 --> 00:30:12,160
Speaker 3: People, a few people here and there say well.

579
00:30:12,040 --> 00:30:15,800
Speaker 2: It's normal or this is very normal for the jobs

580
00:30:15,880 --> 00:30:19,080
Speaker 2: numbers to get revised down. They're always revised down. They're

581
00:30:19,120 --> 00:30:23,760
Speaker 2: always revised down. Now, I want to just hould that

582
00:30:23,800 --> 00:30:26,720
Speaker 2: statement into what we've been talking about this whole show.

583
00:30:28,240 --> 00:30:33,400
Speaker 3: We need to stop pretending that this stuff is normal.

584
00:30:33,440 --> 00:30:37,000
Speaker 2: I suppose it is normal. Technically, right goes on all

585
00:30:37,040 --> 00:30:40,680
Speaker 2: the time. Therefore it is normal. We need we need

586
00:30:40,720 --> 00:30:44,680
Speaker 2: to stop accepting it as normal. We need to be

587
00:30:44,840 --> 00:30:49,560
Speaker 2: like those gis in Athens, Tennessee in nineteen forty six,

588
00:30:50,640 --> 00:30:55,200
Speaker 2: who dynamited the jail to get liberty, right to get justice,

589
00:30:55,600 --> 00:31:00,920
Speaker 2: dynamited the sheriff. And that might sound owned ridiculous, might

590
00:31:00,920 --> 00:31:04,200
Speaker 2: sound violent, but what was happening to the people was violent,

591
00:31:04,280 --> 00:31:04,479
Speaker 2: you know.

592
00:31:05,240 --> 00:31:07,720
Speaker 3: And that is exactly the power they're supposed to have.

593
00:31:08,040 --> 00:31:11,560
Speaker 2: That Athens, the Battle of Athens is exactly why we

594
00:31:11,600 --> 00:31:15,720
Speaker 2: have a Second Amendment. I swear that story needs to

595
00:31:15,720 --> 00:31:17,480
Speaker 2: be told far and wide. We needs to be written

596
00:31:17,480 --> 00:31:20,320
Speaker 2: on the heart of every American. Of course, our government

597
00:31:20,360 --> 00:31:25,600
Speaker 2: doesn't want us to amplify that story. If we were

598
00:31:25,640 --> 00:31:27,720
Speaker 2: all raised with that attitude, how much more could we

599
00:31:27,760 --> 00:31:28,040
Speaker 2: get done.

600
00:31:28,080 --> 00:31:29,240
Speaker 3: So it doesn't have to be like this.

601
00:31:29,920 --> 00:31:35,240
Speaker 2: We shouldn't accept that the that the CVB Office or

602
00:31:35,280 --> 00:31:38,400
Speaker 2: whatever what do they call that, the budget Office just

603
00:31:38,960 --> 00:31:42,200
Speaker 2: is always revising the numbers, always giving us wrong numbers.

604
00:31:42,400 --> 00:31:44,480
Speaker 2: Why do they have to put out bad numbers at all?

605
00:31:44,520 --> 00:31:47,640
Speaker 2: Why don't they just wait until they get the quote

606
00:31:47,880 --> 00:31:51,480
Speaker 2: revised reports and then publish that, you know what I mean?

607
00:31:51,960 --> 00:31:56,840
Speaker 2: So Trump's absolutely right to fire this person. Let's not

608
00:31:57,040 --> 00:32:00,600
Speaker 2: pretend like we have to live like this. We don't

609
00:32:01,120 --> 00:32:02,800
Speaker 2: have to live like this.

610
00:32:03,560 --> 00:32:06,160
Speaker 3: We don't. Chicago, you don't have to live like that.

611
00:32:06,280 --> 00:32:06,440
Speaker 2: La.

612
00:32:06,480 --> 00:32:09,000
Speaker 3: You don't have to live like that San Francisco, Indianapolis.

613
00:32:09,000 --> 00:32:11,440
Speaker 3: I've seen what's happening in your city. You don't have

614
00:32:11,640 --> 00:32:16,520
Speaker 3: to live like that. You don't. We don't. But it's

615
00:32:16,520 --> 00:32:18,920
Speaker 3: not easy. We're not gonna walk into victories.

616
00:32:20,040 --> 00:32:23,200
Speaker 2: It's all gonna come at great expense and great cost.

617
00:32:23,280 --> 00:32:26,440
Speaker 2: But just like those gis in nineteen forty six in Athens,

618
00:32:27,400 --> 00:32:31,440
Speaker 2: they said we'll pay the cost, We'll do it. They

619
00:32:31,560 --> 00:32:34,720
Speaker 2: were risking their lives. It's a miracle that I'm read

620
00:32:34,840 --> 00:32:39,160
Speaker 2: of any death. That's the American spirit.

621
00:32:39,240 --> 00:32:41,120
Speaker 3: That's we are. Not the kind of people like well,

622
00:32:41,160 --> 00:32:45,200
Speaker 3: they always revise the job members. Now why ask why

623
00:32:46,840 --> 00:32:50,080
Speaker 3: instead of just accepting it. I'm done just accepting things.

624
00:32:52,320 --> 00:32:55,120
Speaker 2: I have been accepting though the fact that my family

625
00:32:55,520 --> 00:33:01,040
Speaker 2: is we've got a split in our family. I'm married

626
00:33:01,080 --> 00:33:04,040
Speaker 2: into a family of concert people. My husband loves going

627
00:33:04,080 --> 00:33:06,479
Speaker 2: to concert and some music festivals, and now both our

628
00:33:06,520 --> 00:33:09,640
Speaker 2: grown children do. It's seventeen to twenty three. They're all

629
00:33:09,680 --> 00:33:11,960
Speaker 2: at Lollapalooza in Chicago this weekend.

630
00:33:13,040 --> 00:33:14,960
Speaker 3: No I am not there. I'm here.

631
00:33:16,000 --> 00:33:19,400
Speaker 2: I stayed behind in California, and obviously I wanted to

632
00:33:19,400 --> 00:33:21,400
Speaker 2: do radio, and I would much rather be doing radio

633
00:33:21,440 --> 00:33:24,320
Speaker 2: than standing in Grant Park with a million.

634
00:33:24,040 --> 00:33:27,280
Speaker 3: People squeezed in shoulder to shoulder.

635
00:33:27,520 --> 00:33:30,160
Speaker 2: It's probably nothing, but it's just a giant weed cloud

636
00:33:30,640 --> 00:33:31,480
Speaker 2: at this point.

637
00:33:32,560 --> 00:33:36,800
Speaker 3: Loud music. I don't like live music. I don't like crowds.

638
00:33:37,000 --> 00:33:39,280
Speaker 2: I don't like having to push my way up and

639
00:33:39,320 --> 00:33:41,280
Speaker 2: then not being able to leave because if you leave,

640
00:33:41,760 --> 00:33:43,080
Speaker 2: you're not getting that spot back.

641
00:33:43,080 --> 00:33:44,800
Speaker 3: But I'm fifty one. I need to go to the bathroom,

642
00:33:44,800 --> 00:33:46,160
Speaker 3: and then I gotta go to the bathroom. Where do

643
00:33:46,200 --> 00:33:46,360
Speaker 3: I go?

644
00:33:46,480 --> 00:33:51,000
Speaker 2: Those coorta potties The rest of the unwashed masses are

645
00:33:51,280 --> 00:33:54,320
Speaker 2: doing their business. They got to pay twenty dollars for

646
00:33:54,480 --> 00:33:57,600
Speaker 2: water and it's one hundred degrees with one hundred percent humidity.

647
00:33:58,000 --> 00:33:59,160
Speaker 3: No thank you.

648
00:33:59,520 --> 00:34:02,920
Speaker 2: I was a mudgeon. I will die a cur mudgeon.

649
00:34:03,040 --> 00:34:07,240
Speaker 2: Do not take me to a music festival. But my husband,

650
00:34:07,760 --> 00:34:12,200
Speaker 2: who is a planner, raised two children who would become

651
00:34:12,280 --> 00:34:16,279
Speaker 2: his concert buddies because I just I can't do it.

652
00:34:16,520 --> 00:34:19,759
Speaker 2: I can't do it. I don't like crowds, periods. I'm

653
00:34:19,760 --> 00:34:22,520
Speaker 2: not into it. Not that person's gonna go wait in line.

654
00:34:22,520 --> 00:34:25,719
Speaker 2: I don't think lines are fun. Europeans love lines, which

655
00:34:25,760 --> 00:34:28,360
Speaker 2: I think is a sign of socialism. So Europeans like

656
00:34:28,480 --> 00:34:31,840
Speaker 2: Q culture. That's a culture, you do stuff, you meet people.

657
00:34:31,920 --> 00:34:32,359
Speaker 3: I don't know.

658
00:34:33,000 --> 00:34:38,360
Speaker 2: Maybe there's some value into getting back into the idea

659
00:34:38,360 --> 00:34:41,120
Speaker 2: of waiting and be patient because we've been so corrupted

660
00:34:41,160 --> 00:34:42,360
Speaker 2: by instant gratifications.

661
00:34:43,880 --> 00:34:47,279
Speaker 3: I don't know. I'm not there. I'm not there. I

662
00:34:47,320 --> 00:34:51,240
Speaker 3: don't I do not choose to wait in line for anything.

663
00:34:52,080 --> 00:34:54,200
Speaker 2: When my kids were young and I had to go

664
00:34:54,280 --> 00:34:57,480
Speaker 2: pick them up at elementary school every day, I was

665
00:34:57,520 --> 00:34:58,680
Speaker 2: late every day, and they did.

666
00:34:58,760 --> 00:35:00,520
Speaker 3: They just knew they were getting picked.

667
00:35:00,400 --> 00:35:02,439
Speaker 2: Up a half hour after everybody else because I wasn't

668
00:35:02,440 --> 00:35:03,360
Speaker 2: waiting in that line.

669
00:35:04,320 --> 00:35:06,680
Speaker 3: I want to pull right up, get in the car,

670
00:35:06,840 --> 00:35:08,120
Speaker 3: and get to going.

671
00:35:09,160 --> 00:35:11,239
Speaker 2: No concert for me, but stay safe out there. If
