| 0:00.0 | Welcome back to hashtag sisters-in-law with Kimberly Atkins Store, Jill Wine Banks, and me, Barb McQuaid. |
| 0:19.0 | Don't worry, Joyce will be back soon. She is out on her book tour, |
| 0:22.3 | where she is talking about her new book, Giving Up is Unforgivable. You really should read her book. |
| 0:27.5 | It's excellent. And in fact, not reading Joyce's book is also unforgivable. |
| 0:32.6 | You should check out our brand new Sisters Resistance hoodie as well. It is now available to order, |
| 0:39.0 | designed by our very own Kim Atkins store with a short and sassy look that she says is very |
| 0:44.7 | in. So check it out at the politicon.com slash merch store. It is so cute. Congratulations on the |
| 0:52.9 | design, Kim. When it first came, I thought, oh, this looks a little weird proportion. But when I put it on, I loved it. And the fabric is fantastic. It's really cozy and warm. Good job. |
| 1:06.6 | Well, today we have planned for you a discussion of three big stories in the news. |
| 1:11.9 | One is the legal status of the National Guard in American cities, Trump's $230 million |
| 1:18.7 | shakedown, and the NBA gambling scandal. |
| 1:23.1 | But first, I wanted to ask my sisters if you happen to see either in person or online any good signs at last week's No Kings Rally. |
| 1:34.1 | I'm one of my favorite things are these very clever signs. Anybody see anything good? |
| 1:39.2 | I saw so many good ones. I think my favorite was I was walking behind someone in the march, |
| 1:46.8 | and I thought, oh, that's got to be Elvis Presley. And I looked, and the sign that Elvis |
| 1:53.0 | Presley dressed in the white leather suit with the studs and everything, and the cape, it said, |
| 1:58.1 | one said all shook up about these politics, and the other said, on the other side of it said that it was make America Graceland again, not Mara Loco. So I really love that one. |
| 2:12.1 | Yeah, people were really creative. I was in New York City last weekend visiting my stepson, and we saw, there were several |
| 2:22.0 | no Kings Raleigh happening simultaneously across Manhattan, and the one that we saw in Midtown |
| 2:29.3 | was really, was really inspiring. And I think my favorite one, as somebody who is an introvert and who gets freaked out by crowds, |
| 2:37.0 | there was a group of women with a sign that said something to the effect of introverts against kings. |
| 2:44.7 | And another sign said, even we're out here today, which I just felt so deeply in my soul. That's a good one. |
