Lock in y'all, we start out light but get pretty heavy with this one. If you notice a difference in audio quality on this ep, it's because Alexis's gain was turned up too high. In the next episode, we should have it fixed. :) Ash and Ron talk about their road trip to Austin, grateful to have spent quality time with family. During their stay, a mass shooting in Austin occurred. They discuss the tragedy, how they reacted, and how awful it is to become desensitized. Once we get into the Iran war, Ron brings up a powerful 2011 speech by Tony Benn that mirrors her feelings now. She feels DT is far too frivolous and reckless with his rhetoric and threats. She brings up Ben Shapiro's enthusiasm and giddiness over the operation names. She calls out the hypocrisy directly in saying, ”We should not be so callous as to be excited about people getting bombed. What kind of Christian can you claim to be if you're stoked about that?” Going further, talking about Hagseth's words at a conference about ”no more politically correct wars” as if considerations for civilians or diplomacy are out of the question for this administration. Further on, we say that no matter what a mom decides for her birth process, medicated or unmedicated, that it is valid and there should be no judgment, especially from other moms. All that and so much more on this episode of the All Nighter Podcast, where a tornado warning ended up cutting the pod short :0
