Speaker 2: Randal. If you happen to call back, we'll get you in.
I definitely want to deal with Bob. I think I
sense Bob's emotion on this, and I get what he's
talking about. It's the kind of what have you done
for me lately? Attitude? And you know what, that's interesting
if you want immediate you know, it's kind of like
the having a medical condition that needs to be treated
right now versus a medical condition that you get treated
on a regular basis. And I didn't mean to compare
it because I don't want to diminish his concern. He's
saying they lied because my paycheck I'm not getting anything back.
It's not just the same. But here's the interesting thing
about that if you had overtime. So Trump wanted this
had to go through the House. The House made changes
and did their thing. The Senate changed things and did
their thing. So now you have a bill. And that's
what like Elon must said, you can get bigger, you
can get beautiful, which you can't have both. So yeah,
there was a lot done. But in the end, is
there reprieve for people who get tips, Yes there is.
Is there a reprieve for people who get overtime? Yes?
There is. The other beauty of this thing that there
wasn't mentioned and we didn't really have time to talk about,
is that if you do get overtime, and we're not
talking again. I love how Democrats want to say it's
all it's all help and the rich. No, no, no, no,
it's twelve five hundred dollars. So think about this year
and it goes back retroactively to January first. So if
you were all ready, if you've at this point had
five thousand dollars in overtime or six thousand that you
paid taxes on, and you're going to get another six
thousand overtime before the end of the year, all of that,
any of those taxes you paid, You get all of
that back that you can deduct twelve thousand, five hundred dollars.
And by the way, if you and your wife collectively,
if you're married, you can deduct twenty five thousand dollars
of overtime pay from your federal taxable income for the year. Now,
if you make over one hundred and fifty thousand or whatever,
then it kind of phases out there. It's really to
help the middle class. So I don't like the tax code.
I don't like it at all. I'd love to abolish
the IRS in many ways and figure out a better system.
But for what we've got, we have a tax code,
we have a tax forms, we have this horribly regressive
way that we deal with things. But nonetheless, yes, you
if you are married, get twenty five thousand dollars, if
you're overtime paid, will not be subject to taxes any
taxes you paid on that twenty five thousand as reported
by your employer, which is required by law. Guests to
be taken off. That's boom free and clear for you.
Dinner for tips tips are the same way. I mean,
we want to act like it's terrible, but the first
twenty five thousand dollars in two says reported by you
to the government and by your employer. That is that
comes off the top from January first. So if you
worked a summer job and you made twenty five thousand
dollars in tips, and you made fifty thousand dollars total, whatever,
that twenty five thousand dollars is untaxable. So it wasn't
a lie. It goes through the system by which things
are made into law. Now, as far as prices, I
get prices are we haven't returned to pre pandemic pricing.
That is true. He's one hundred percent accurate. But don't
pretend for a minute that it hasn't improved dramatically from
you know, nineteen percent inflation under Biden, these absurd jumps
in pricing. Inflation has come down to nominal. It's come down,
and by the way, it's come down more than predicted,
more than expected by the markets, more than predicted, more
than expected even by the Fed, which will prompt a
rate cut. There will be a rate cut at some point.
But this pretense that it must be instant is just
it's just not reality. There was no lie. Now, well,
I think there's more there's to me, I think the
Republicans are going to do well next year on this,
And in fact, I have a column to the effect
that what the Democrats are very concerned about right now
is not that there were lies told about the bill.
It's if the Republican did something fairly I guess, you know,
I could say witty or wrong or whatever. But it's
that they're very concerned that the more serious issues in
the bill, from medicaid and stuff are past the midterms,
meaning and there's a great column on that which I
want to get to. It's from the Bulwark dot com.
It's so Democrats were really cheering all of you know,
We're we're gonna be great. People hate this bill that's
polling on it's terrible, and they're going after the Republicans
on it and cutting Medicaid and food assistance programs and
the tax breaks to the ultra rich all that stuff.
But now they're very concerned because what looked like a
big opportunity is turning into a bit of a problem.
The euphoria that Democrats had on this is now colored
by the fear that the Republicans may not pay a
steep price next year because when people start filing their
taxes and they're getting these big checks of their money back,
which I hate. By the way, I wish you get
it now. I agree with the caller on that, I
wish you could get it now. But when those checks
start rolling in for every common man and woman out there,
middle class, that's gonna that's heading into the election, So
the way you feel now is not going to be
the way you feel then. I get I wish it
was sooner, but it's not a lie. So the Democrats
are all excited about, Hey, we're gonna be able to
beat trouble this, but they're saying, wait. Driving the change
in Democrats moved from Euphorida concern is how the bill
itself is structured. The most toxic part of it, like
cuts to Medicaid, which just cuts to the rate of growth.
By the way, and this is from the Bullwark, this
is an anti kind of anti Trump position, but it's
a realistic one. Is that the custom Medicaid don't go
into effect until after the midterm. So Democrats saying, look,
what's coming could be problematic for them. Well, just like
the gentleman right now, he's like, hey, it's not happening
to me. Now I'm not worried about it. I want
it happening to me now I wanted helping me, same thing.
Then it's not going to hurt them then. Also, the
more popular items like a thousand dollars investment accounts for
newborn kids goes into effect, already has gone into effect.
Some Democrats are very concerned that their posture is going
to alienate parents. It's very clever in that way. Democrat
officials are also concerned that the party failed to present
its own policy. To that caller, I was going to say,
what's the policy alternative? The Democrats presented nothing. They didn't
present tax cuts, that didn't present they didn't do anything.
If they had just let it go, it would have
been a massive tax increase. The Democrats presented nothing. But
we hate him so as mad as people want to
get it Trump and that gentleman, obviously is it lied
to them. But what's your alternative? Do you think the
Democrats were going to help you? Do you think the
Democrats are going to take away your taxes on tips
or help you with overtime pay, or give you any
kind of tax cut whatsoever? Did you see one proposed
you didn't. They didn't. You can't beat something with nothing.
It's not a foregone conclusion at all that we will
win back the House. The Democrats have said the seats
are going to be very difficult. We have to figure
out a way how to expand our brand in places
that we're losing, and that is a process that's not
going to happen overnight. So for me, Key Democrat Operative said,
conversation around the big beautiful bill and offering alternative is
as much about us restating our place as a party
that fights for working families in the middle class, said
Steve Shale, Florida based Democrat Operative. This was a missed
opportunity for Democrats to not put forward a plan of
their own about cutting cost and that is extremely popular.
Cutting the cost of government is extremely popular with American
people right now. Letting them keep more of what they
earn very popular right now. Is the sausage that's made
in the swamp pleasant to look at and watch. I
don't think so. In fact, I know not, it's not.
I think the Republicans and the reconciliation building the fall
are going to deal with some of these, I think
in the spring when they do another one right in
the middle of the election season. That's gonna make a
big difference for them. I do think at some point
in time they really need to revisit the entirety of
this odorous and ludicrous and ever present tax code that
is deeper, broader, wider than biblical scripture. It is larger,
it is a burden, it is demonic alls, it's horrible.
Much more to go here on the Peak Calendar radio
show on Newstalk eleven ten nine nine three WBT.
Speaker 1: All right, if you're listening to this show, you know
I try to keep up with all sorts of current events,
and I know you do too, And you've probably heard
me say get your news from multiple sources. Why Well,
because it's how you detect media bias, which is why
I've been so impressed with ground News. It's an app
and it's a website and it combines news from around
the world in one place so you can compare coverage
and verify information. You can check it out at check
dot ground, dot news slash pete. I put the link
in the podcast description two. I started using ground News
a few months ago and more recently chose to work
with them as an affiliate because it lets me see
clearly how stories get covered and by whom. The blind
spot feature shows you which stories get ignored by the
left and the right. See for yourself. Check dot Ground,
dot news slash pete. Subscribe through that link and you'll
get fifteen percent off any subscription. I use the Vantage

then not only helps my podcast, but it also supports
Ground News as they make the media landscape more transparent.
Speaker 2: You know, you know, you know, you know. So as
I go to break by the way, thank you to
everyone that's interacting with I'm kidding. It's what I love
about this. You can interact and call. You can text,
by the way. If you do text that seven oh
four five seven oh eleven ten, that's the WBT text
line driven by Liberty Viewick GMC, same phone numbers. The
call in numbers seven oh four five, sevenh eleven ten.
So I appreciate the diversity of communications that are available
these days, certainly on Twitter, if form, the know as X.
Some of the folks that are listening, thank you guys,
are hysterical. I appreciate a great sense of humor out there.
The folks that are texting me former House members that
are like yeah, and you you're right. There's nothing like.
One of the things I've always loved about radio, especially
if you're an extrovert, and I'm way out big e
on the extrovert is the instant validation that having a
platform gives you. And if you're doing terrible, you're going
to know that too. But if you're doing well, the
external validation is always nice. And it's also nice to
get callers you disagree with, and that last caller that
was just clearly upset. They felt lied to. But it's
illustrative of a larger issue in society that has to
do with fiscal understanding, educational. In fact, one of the
listeners had gotten sent me some information and it reminded
me of some stuff that I was involved in many
years ago, was that I wanted to as a county commissioner.
I said, you know, hey, we've got all these these
employees out there. You want to help them get to
retirement in a good way. And so we set up
a part of the retirement plan beyond just the state
is hey, we'll do this part of the retirement plan
for the county and we'll have matching. I mean a
lot of companies do it, and if you're a finance personnel,
matching is a beautiful thing. We'd match up to five percent.
And after about a year I went to the county
manager at the time and I was like, hey, how's
this plan coming along. We'd all agreed and it was
a good thing employees. I felt it was good for them,
and he said, yeah, we've got about you know, about
five percent of employees, and you're kidding. But it showed me.
It was very, very clear. And I was far younger
then and still a financial junkie, so I was blown
away because if you told me I could invest X
amount of dollars and get one hundred percent rate of
return no risk, by the way, zero risk, one hundred
percent return. I'll take that every time. I will, you know, blind,
crippled and crazy will cross that line to get to
that one hundred percent rate of return. And the stock
market is just you know, hey, you'll do it every
single time. And it's compounded because you do that, you
get one hundred percent rate of return and the next
year five percent, another one hundred percent rate of return,
So it's compounding plus what it's building as an investment tool.
But both the listeners that were communicate with me offline
were like, this show's a profound lack. You know, it's
kind of what I see now versus what is good
for me over the long haul. And that's where a
lot of economic ignorance takes place. And that's a shame
because people aren't seeing the long term benefit. They'll go
and it's kind of like people who live on credit cards.
So if you're living on a credit card, you're not
paying that off every month, then you've got these ludicrous
fees that kick in. It's like you're borrowing money at eighteen.
The same people that will complain about, you know, fast
food being too expensive, for groceries being too expensive, will
go out and spend on their credit cards and then
pay the minimal payment every year or every month and
end up racking up, you know, eighteen nineteen, twenty twenty
one percent interest. That there's an absurdity there that is very,
very difficult to overcome, and no amount of having a
rational discussion will overcome the emotion that one feels. They
don't even think so you think, hey would you pay?
Say hey, you see that stake that's really overpriced at
twenty dollars a pound, would you be willing to pay
forty dollars a pound for it? They're like, oh, hell no,
I'd never do that. Well, you don't pay your credit
card bills, so that steak's cost you forty dollars a pound't.
They don't connect those dots. And it's a real shame
because it's a boat anchor for those individuals trying to
get ahead. But true, nonetheless, now and I want to
cry again, it wasn't beating up the Democrats. That's certain.
It's easy to do that, but they have to have
more than we hate Trump. And I'll get to some
of that as we move along here. And I want
to get to the motherhood. I've been trying to get
to the motherhood story all week and I just haven't
been able to do that. And so with respect to
when I'm looking at all the things written out there,
what's happening now is you're seeing and I'll give you
an example of the bias in the way of the
political left and media work. I love to do those
stories because I could do eighty hours or shows on
just that. So the Justice Department has opened a criminal investigation,
which is odd most people would say, wouldn't do that.
You'd open it with an arrest or an indictment or something.
Has opened a criminal investigation into two long time targets.
This is from MSNBC Targets to President Donald Trump, former
FBI director James Comey, former CIA director John Brennan. The
move not only is now, this is where I want
you to think, for those of you who have the
ability to rationally put thoughts together about what this article
is saying versus the reality of the world. The article
goes on the move not only is a sign of
sque delating authoritarian energy in the Trump administration, but it
also buttresses the president's attempts to rewrite history. Now that
if you're looking for bias and media, I just identified
it to you. There it is. There's a huge bias there.
Now they say it's a writer editor, but also an
opinion writer, so editor, So they say, well, this can be.
There's nothing authoritarian about John John Brennan and James Commy.
If they broke the law. What happened to Democrats say, no,
one's above the law. By the way, if you're looking
for people who did authoritarian stuff, Nothing is more authoritarian
than going after the lead opponent of the other party
and using everything you can in multiple states, including DC,
to try to put your opponent in jail. Because you
can't beat them at the ballot box, you have to
create different things to try to get them on You
wanted to get that mug shot. How's that Fanny Willis
story going for you? How's the Latisa James Oh? I
own property in residence in another state, but I'm the
Attorney general for New York. How's that going for you?
How's the undervaluing of mar A Lago to make a
court case. How's the Alvin Bragg? Let's create new ways
of indicting someone on a felony that no one's ever
been indicted for. Those things were absolutely authoritarian ways of
doing things. The James Comey and John Brennan, the creator
the Russia Russia Russia narrative, and the defenders of status
quo stuff that wasn't true. But you're calling that authoritarian.
They're taking their time. I thought were laws broken. Maybe
they weren't. But you know, when you peddled false narratives
not just before the American people, but in office, and
you use the resources of your department to target a politician.
That's authoritarian. Arresting them for doing it. That's not authoritarian.
That's justice. I hate to tell you that's justice. MSNBC
just doesn't get it. NBC reports that John Radcliffe released
an internal CIA review that criticized Brennan's handling of the
Russia Russia Russia intel assessment concluding that Vladimir Putin wanted
to help Trump defeat Clinton. That review found flaws in
the assessment, but didn't dispute the conclusion. According to NAC,
I hope that My suspicion is it ever sees the
inside of a courtroom, I would love for it too.
Nothing would be more beautiful than seeing Komi who did
push false narratives and did use the US government. Now,
is that indictable, I don't know. But they acted as
political operatives more they did as more than they did
as experts in their field. But again MSNBC's instant reaction
is that's an authoritarian movement. They never considered authoritarian when
the president went after his opponent. They also are very
reluctant to figure out who the hell was in charge
of the country when a president was clearly incompetent and
unable to execute the duties of the presidency and should
have been removed. But that's okay with some media outlets.
I guess much more to go here on the show
Pete Calender's radio show that is chat Outams your guests.
We'll be right back after this.

Speaker 2: Good afternoon, Continuing our discussion, or at least a discussion.
I guess you could say about a number of issues,
most tend to be political in nature. I hope we
don't devolve into just one big emotional mass. You know
that we just it's instant meltdown. It's very predictable, and
everyone's justified their anger all the time, because that makes
for a very poor life. When you get to the
end of your life and you say, if only I could
have been anger, angry more, I don't think you would
say that. I don't think anyone would desire that. Life
is so precious, so short, and as every every disaster
or act of violence or anything else, you realize how
precious and short it can be. So I don't know.
Try what I love about talk RIGHTO? Is we tend
there tends to be a tone. Certainly there is a perspective.
It's timely topical. It allows for various viewpoints. You've heard
on the show today. People call in and in one event,
and sometimes it's emotional, and sometimes you know, it's probably
somewhat cathartic for them to just nah word voment, word
vomit and then you know, think about what they said
and cogitate on it some and hopefully come back with
a with at least more of a measured way of
looking at things. I'm not castigating those who want to
go down that path, but nonetheless, you know, if you
if you want to reach a higher understanding, you need
to escape the overtly emotional side of things. There's a
good piece on this with The Liberal Patriot. I like it.
I think it calls to what a lot of talk
radio people do. It's so interesting because Rush Limbaugh remarkable.
You know, his in his time on radio, was really
good at infusing humor. And you know, the left may
have hated him, but he wasn't full of hate. He
didn't like Democrats, you didn't like their policy, but it
wasn't hate based. Talk radio isn't, by and large isn't
hate based. I mean, there are some out there that
have spouted it, but it's it's not that way. If
you're required to analyze American politics all day for work,
or you somehow enjoy this form of pain. It's hard
to miss how emotional the entire enterprise has become in
recent decades. Politics, of course, has always involved leaders harnessing
complex feelings and instincts among the populace, who advance policy objectives,
gain power, and punished perceived enemies. For time immemorial, shrewd
politicians have preyed on the sentimental ticks of humans, pressing
their psychic buttons and pitting one group against another. It's
very astutely written, is it not. But let's continue now
with basically everyone in America possessing little pocket mind manipulators.
I love that calling your phone a pocket mind manipulator.
I like that the emotional content of politics has exploded.
Consider the new Trump and GP tax and budget legislation,
the not at all emotionally labeled one big beautiful bill.
According to partisan chatter, the act is either quote maga
murder bill that is literally the death sentence to thousands
of Americans, or it's the single most popular bill ever signed.
It will usher in a golden age of America. Big
range there. Or consider Trump's recent decision of on three
Iranian nuclear sites. Various This describe variously described as the
beginning of a nuclear World War three by ideological critics
like Marjorie Taylor Green, or as the basis for awarding
Trump the Nobel Peace Prize by ideological supporters like Benjamin
net Yahoo. Don't think you can get the Nobel Prize
for starting a world war, but maybe you could get
it for averting one. Which one is it? Lost in
the emotional propaganda of contemporary politics is any rational discussion
the pros and cons of policy. I know policy is boring.
That's when you when you listen to me, I'm going
to get into the nuances of policy, because to me,
policy is it's it's not just how the sausage is made,
it's the sausage itself. That's what policy is. And it
has consequences, both intended and unintended, and that's just what
it is. But back to the column. Lost in the
emotional propaganda is rational discussion about policy, neutral evaluations of
legislated language and motives, and measured examination of outcomes and
the necessary adjustments to improve complex legislation or executive orders.
Partisan path dependency requires that democrats uniformly hate and despise
everything that Trump is doing. It also requires Republicans to
uniforms uniformly love and praises every action dissonance, meaning Democrats
might be okay with some of Trump's policies or Republicans
might disagree with others. Those are not allowed in the
arena will be subject to the partisan star chamber. Economists
and political scientists have done some fascinating work on the
role of emotions, looking at both the demand side and
the supply side, meaning what people believe and want versus
what the leaders offer. So they do a number of
things where they look at this on a chart, and
what they show is there's kind of a rise in
anger from both side. There's a lot of more emotional
content based in anger, more about anger than discussed fear, sadness,
and gratitude combined from Democrats and Republicans. That is continued
to escalate. If you get the sense that everyone in
politics is mad about everything some of the time, almost
certainly based on what the other sides that are did
and what they didn't, you're not missing the bigger picture,
losing your mind. Politics today is predominantly about anger, and
that to me, there's a lot more to this piece,
but that to me is the big loss That to
me is you know, if you want to be angry,
you can do that. But it makes us all kind
of teenagers, doesn't it? That knee jerk to everything. I mean,
we've got a great, big American experiment. We've got a
lot of potential. I happen to be a conservative because
I believe those ideas expressed by limited government, lower taxes
and more freedoms is the path of prosperity, economic prosperity
and safer community, law enforcement and stuff like that. Doesn't
mean that I exclude other ideas. It's just that over time,
it's proven to me to be that's the way we're
most people are helped the most. Is it perfect? That's
the other discussion I don't like is, especially on this immigration,
look at what they're doing to the poor children and
the women, and I'm thinking to myself, that's terrible. But
that's not all. The preponderance of what they're after are criminals,
those with criminal back There's thousands and hundreds of thousands
of these people, but with criminal backgrounds, that's who we're
trying to get to first. But you can't have that
discussion because to the left all is good people and
to the right. Sometimes all is bad people. And the
truth of the matter, when you get a population of
eleven million people that you don't know who they are
in your backyard, how many of you would just invite
strangers to live in your house. You wouldn't. But we
invited him into our country, which is our house. Our
country is our house collectively. Much more to go on
the other side of the break, we will get to this,
the war on motherhood, and I've been trying to get
to this for a few days. I hope I can
pull it off. At this point in time. It's a
great it's a great moment to reflect since we're kind
of moving toward a reflective moment, that's where I'd like
to goet know, much more to go. What an optimistic
place to be jumping through Thursday with that one. Appreciate
you joining me today on a wonderful show. Pete Calender's show,
and he'll be back next week. And hope he's enjoying
his time off. Chat Adams your guest host News Talk eleven,
ten ninety nine three wbt's we head toward the top
of the third hour. Now it's been It's funny because
I flagged the following story on Monday, but we got
so caught up as actually not Monday, it would have
been Tuesday. And it's about you know, I talked about
the problem with young men and women these days, and
it's not them, it's what's being thrust upon them, asked
of them, how they're being judged, how they're being treated
society to kind of gobble these stuff they you know,
the confused mentality to bring home with them and what
they must wrestle with. It's in between their ears rather
than the reality of society that's out to get them
every day. Look, the universe is out to get you.
Make no mistake. It's not intentional. It's just by design.
We're a very frail critter running loose in a big
old world, spinning through space. If there's one thing the
corporate media, it's more than tradition. It's motherhood. We've seen
the time and again, from the glossy magazine covers glorifying
child free living to the snide late night jokes about
breeders and quote stay at home moms. It's not very subtle.
It's not subtle at all. The war on motherhood is loud, proud,
and broadcast twenty four to seven across most major platforms.
And make no mistake, this isn't just about personal choice.
It's a coordinated cultural campaign to devalue perhaps women's most
essential role, being a mother. By the way, the author
of this is isabel Brown. She is a content creator,
she's rich. She's got a show called The Isabelle Brown's Show.
While I've always been aware of the assault on motherhood,
it became increasingly killed clear to me after I found out.
After she found out she was pregnant, Suddenly there was
an abstract concept but very real propaganda attempting to convince
women like her that babies weren't blessings, but they were burdens.
She soon discovered that she was expecting a daughter, and
the noise got louder. Last August, the United States Surgeon
General issued an official public health advisory that parent was
bad for your health. This is the Biden administration. Just
days before election day, the Los Angeles Times ran the
headline quote, It's almost shameful to want to have children.
A few weeks after that, the author of this appeared
on a leading women's podcast with a board certified family
medical physician who tried to convince her that men could
get pregnant seriously in a society this is we that's
only the left could introduce a concept like that. Right
back to the columny and a society obsessed with empowering women.
You'd think the act of bringing life into the world,
raising the next generation, and shaping civilization itself would be
celebrated in many countries. It is, but not in hours.
But the author said she came to discover that in
the eyes of our media elite's real empowerment only comes
if it comes with a corner office, a six figure salary,
or a blue check mark on social media. San's kids.
Of course, you don't want to have kids because that
would make you less than diapers and breastfeeding. Well, that's
apparently a sign of weakness, or worse, oppression. This is
a narrative built on lies. The author said she's seen
it at firsthand among young women, especially gen z Oro,
are terrified of embracing motherhood because the culture tells them
they'll be quote throwing their life away. They're told their
dreams can't coexist with a family, that having children will
destroy their bodies, ruin their careers, and make them irrelevant.
Turn on any Netflix show, scroll TikTok for five minutes,
and you'll see the mom is exhausted, overbearing, or completely clueless.
She's the butt of the joke, never the hero. As
a result, TikTok trends like the girl with the list gloss,
our feeds amplifying shallow fears about motherhood to convince women
they should never become pregnant. The abortion lobby gets away
with their hyperbolic, incessant propaganda that women quote, will literally
die if we don't end the lives of kids inside us.
Every doctor's appointment concludes with a push for hormonal birth control,
you know, just in case. Contrast that with how media
and social media like treat boss babes or hot girl CEOs.
Their lives are glamorous, interesting, They we clothes, they have
nice purses, they're independent, they're free, but a deep, meaningful
relationship is often nowhere to be found. The truth, though
you're not going to hear it on CNN. Your favorite
influencer or Vogue is that motherhood and I agree with
what she says here one hundred percent. Motherhood is one
of the most radical, powerful and rewarding things a woman
can do. It's not an obstacle to purpose. It is purpose,
and yet it's been reduced to a punchline in our
culture because it doesn't fit a progressive narrative. The narrative
says that women must be the same as men to
be valuable, that femininity, sacrifice, and nurturing are old fashioned relics,
their social constructs to be discarded in favor of huzzle
culture and sexual liberation, and the media eats it up.
It tells us that surrogacy, childlessness, or even rejecting the
idea of womanhood entirely is somehow brave and beautiful. It's
not while sneering at the mom pushing a stroller or
loading up a car seat baby in tow. But here's
the irony. Those same outlets panicking about low birth rates,
broken families, and rising loneliness are the ones mocking and
marginalizing women who could offer a solution one. Our generation
of strong women desperately needs to reclaim that narrative. Not
every woman will be a mother, that's okay, but every
woman deserves to know that motherhood is not something to fear.
It's not the end of your life. It's the beginning
of a deeper, more beautiful one. It's a calling filled
with fierce love, incredible strength, and eternal impact. It's something
worth pursuing, even in a culture demanding you run in
the other direction. And what she writes in the end
is she says, so to every young woman watching the
world trying to shame you out of your God given calling,
don't buy the lie. Don't let headlines dictate your worth.
Motherhood is not a weakness. It's your superpower, and it's
time to start treating it that way. This is and
that's the end of her column. It's from the Daily Signal.
But to me, that's that's one of the worst things
we're telling society is we need we need future good citizens,
we need parents to have kids. And it's one of
the highest callings you can have. If you raise a
good person and put them in the world and give
them the opportunity to life, liberty and pursuit of happiness,
that's the human species goes on. Because, if you think
about it, the political left doesn't like personhood that much.
They can't. They don't like to define what a woman is.
By the way, the political right didn't come up with
that concept. The political right didn't come up with putting
men in women's sports. The political right didn't come up
with gender as a social construct. The political right didn't
come up with trans kids. The political right didn't come
up with let's make women feel bad for wanting to
have kids. The political left did all of those things.
Now that doesn't I'm not saying they're evil or horrible
people or anything like that. But the point is, if
you look at where the war on women is coming from,
we've gone from braa burning to let's get rid of
kids because it somehow makes you less. It actually makes
you more. Only women can have kids, This concept of
men giving birth, this is silly, no matter what. It's
kind of like being a twin. If you ask a
twin what it's like to be not a twin, they
can't because ever they've only ever known being a twin.
It's like being male or female. You can't know, even
if you try to change it. If you do all this,
you're not You never will be. You can't biologically be
X Y and XX chromosomes fixed. You can't undo that.
You can't unring the bell. You can want it, you
may desire, you may think it, but it's not it.
It's not the same. It just is the way it is.
It's the world as it is. It's as if a
meteor fell and you wanted to sue God for bringing
it about. It's just not reality, and we need to
start remembing our remembering our mortality and our role here
as people who care about their fellow man and cherish
life because it's precious and women. You guys make the
world go round, even if it's difficult to live with
you sometimes I'm kidding. I'm having fun there. Chat Adams,
