Summary

Things are not right. I’m doing my pod from the road today because something wasn’t right. In my particular case it was my son’s appendix, but the wrongness of what’s going on isn’t limited to my immediate family. It’s all around us. We’re drowning in it. So, this pod is about what’s going on this week. What we should be paying attention to. How we know when things aren’t right, and just like we just did with my son, how we take the information we’re given and act if things need to change. Let me know what you think about this episode.

0:00.0	Hello, and welcome to the Politics Girl podcast. I'm your host Lee McGowan. Let's get into it.
0:15.7	The pod looks and feels a bit different today because I am doing this from the road.
0:19.7	I am in Michigan right now because something wasn't right. In this case, it was my son's appendix. We were on a university tour, and while we thought he had food poisoning, it turned out to be something a bit more extreme. So as he recovers from emergency surgery, I am coming to you from the incredible Ann Arbor, Michigan. And if I may say, should your child suddenly need to
0:38.1	have an organ removed, may you be as close to such an amazing hospital as we were? So, I have decided the
0:43.8	point of this pod is that we have to be aware when things aren't right. We have to pay attention to the

1:00.9	The wrongness is all around us.
1:02.9	We are drowning in it.
1:04.1	Nothing is as it's supposed to be right now.
1:06.7	Our Congress has abdicated its responsibility
1:08.9	to act on our behalf.
1:10.2	Our laws are primarily being made by executive order.
1:13.5	Our Supreme Court has abandoned precedent overturning long-established laws
1:18.0	and acting as an enforcement arm of the executive branch.

1:24.1	personal freedom, and human rights.
1:26.2	Look no further than the American military currently
1:28.5	occupying D.C. The Trump administration has deployed at least 800 National Guard and military
