What this episode covers

Transcript: Tony Dale: Well, howdy. I am so glad that you are here. Can you crank my—can my phones—there we go. That's much better. Thank you, John, my excellent engineer. Well, I—there's just so much going on today. And, of course, we're waiting with anticipation for what's going to happen with the Lindsay Clancy jury situation, something we will delve into today. But sometimes timing—things occur in—in ways that just you have to shake your head. So Gloria Steinem died. Now, some of you may be too young to know the name, but you could call her the godmother of feminism, really. She started Ms. magazine. She was one of the—the people that helped push Roe v. Wade through. She was the feminist icon. And all through the—the '70s and—and on, she—she was the energy behind what became the modern feminist movement. So, we've watched this thing evolve, and it has so many permutations of things about it that have—have gone wrong. And, yes, women deserve equal pay for equal work, the whole—that whole thing. Yeah, we—we know. We know. But you know there is in—in life something called the law of unintended consequences. And as you look at the bitter fruit that much of especially third-wave feminism, which is where we are now, what has been created, it's pretty hard to argue that the benefits of feminist doggerel have been worth it. I mean, well start with what we're witnessing now, which is the utter disregard for human life. It all started with saying that, well, a living child inside of a woman didn't deserve to have life outside of a woman if the woman found it inconvenient. And if the woman became impregnated while enjoying herself, well, then she shouldn't have to put up with that. I mean, it is—it is the age of personal fulfillment and living your best life. And—and so, consequently, we've had millions of people who might be workers today. Did you hear the story before we came on? Remember? What it said, right? By 2030, we will have 2.1 million fewer workers. So, they're panicking. What are we going to do to get people to go out there and learn how to do HVAC and how to build things and fix things and make things? Because, of course, on the—this is connected to feminism, too. Because much of the educational industrial complex was taken over over these last four decades or so by women. That's—if you look at who—who are the hierarchy of the women's—or of the educational unions, they're women. Keep in mind, I love women. I'm married to one. And she's smarter than me in so many ways. This is not a screed against them. This is a screed against the misdirection of our country by people like Gloria Steinem. Which leads us to where we are today. So, we sit here, as I said, waiting in anticipation for the verdict of this deadlocked jury. So, let's—let's just delve into this. So, it's deadlocked, you may know that. We have this mother of three who's apparently—well, much of the feminist community wants to give her a pass because, well, my gosh, she had to kill her kids because she—she had hysteria and she had some hormones. I mean, that's essentially the argument that we're dealing with. Now, keep in—I want to point this out, keeping in mind this is happening in Massachusetts, a very liberal blue state, a state that just a month ago, not even, signed a new bill that allows babies to be murdered after they're born. So, put that into the equation. So, because this jury was deadlocked, the judge, Judge Sullivan, used something called the Tuey-Rodriguez instruction. Essentially, it's just a last resort when you get a deadlocked jury. It's essentially saying you reach a verdict, or else it's an automatic mistrial. Now, another element of all of this you have to put into the equation as well. Keep in mind that they didn't sequester these people. I mean, you've probably seen plenty of shows, legal shows where these people go in—12 Angry Men was a—a great example of it, but—but they—they have to stay, in most cases, there. Well, okay. Um, that ...
