  Speaker 1: It's that one place that has 21 different podcasts to
• 0:03
  Speaker 1: choose from. I mean, I know what that drive is
• 0:05
  Speaker 1: like when you're in the car. If you're sitting at
• 0:06
  Speaker 1: work going, God, I wish this day would get over. Arrow.net, A-R-R-O-E.net.
• 0:13
  Speaker 1: One of the biggest podcasts is CTCS. What is it
• 0:17
  Speaker 1: really like to go behind the scenes at a grocery store? Oh,
• 0:22
  Speaker 1: the drama. Oh my God. CTCS. The customer is never right.
• 0:29
  Speaker 1: only on arrow.net, A-R-R-O-E.net. Enjoy your exploration. Hello and good morning, Kim.
• 0:35
  Speaker 1: How are you doing?
• 0:36
  Speaker 2: I'm doing great, Arrow. How are you?
• 0:38
  Speaker 1: Absolutely fantastic and very excited to share a conversation with
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: you because just the other day, I swear to the
• 0:43
  Speaker 1: Holy Bible that I was with a senior in high school.
• 0:46
  Speaker 1: They're 18 and they go, why should I vote? My
• 0:49
  Speaker 1: vote doesn't count. And I said, oh my God, if
• 0:51
  Speaker 1: you don't go talk to Kim Miller somehow, some way,
• 0:54
  Speaker 1: Because I may not be the man that's going to
• 0:56
  Speaker 1: convince you to get your butt into that place to
• 0:58
  Speaker 1: throw that ballot down, but you've got to make sure
• 1:01
  Speaker 1: that your voice is heard. So, Kim, I am so
• 1:03
  Speaker 1: proud of you for reaching out across this nation today
• 1:06
  Speaker 1: because there's a lot of younger people that are asking, why?
• 1:11
  Speaker 2: Absolutely. And, uh, thank you so much for letting me
• 1:14
  Speaker 2: have a chance to talk to those people. And I
• 1:16
  Speaker 2: want to tell them you, your vote matters more than
• 1:19
  Speaker 2: you can even imagine. There are so many races, especially
• 1:23
  Speaker 2: in a midterm that come down to a razor's edge.
• 1:25
  Speaker 2: Some of them even by as much as three votes,
• 1:28
  Speaker 2: that's like a kitchen table amount. Like there's some that
• 1:31
  Speaker 2: were decided by, you know, 280 votes in, in Arizona.
• 1:35
  Speaker 2: There was one, uh, recently, not far in the past,
• 1:39
  Speaker 2: where that's like, you know, that's like people at a
• 1:41
  Speaker 2: Friday night football game. You know, your vote does matter.
• 1:45
  Speaker 2: And what's at stake, and this was, I think, a
• 1:48
  Speaker 2: race for attorney general, two completely different futures. Because it
• 1:53
  Speaker 2: depends how you who you put in office are giving
• 1:58
  Speaker 2: those those policies and those futures and those, you know,
• 2:03
  Speaker 2: the the power that you have as a citizen, totally
• 2:06
  Speaker 2: different ideas. And so you have to remember, each candidate
• 2:09
  Speaker 2: represents a different story. set of ideas, set of futures
• 2:14
  Speaker 2: for you. So you don't want to just neglect that.
• 2:17
  Speaker 2: And your vote really does matter.
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: I work at a grocery store, which means I'm face
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: to face with every age group, every nationality, big, fat, ugly,
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: you name it. I'm with everybody. And another question that
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: somebody else came up to me with just the other day.
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: I don't trust clickbait. Where do I go to get information?
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: I said the League of Women Voters because I felt
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: like they're the ones where people can trust. What is
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: your suggestion? Because, see, this clickbait that's going on right
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: now is really infecting this generation.
• 2:47
  Speaker 2: Oh, absolutely. I, you know, I have five kids and
• 2:51
  Speaker 2: they're from 34 down to 22. And I look at
• 2:55
  Speaker 2: the stuff that they're seeing and I'm like, this is
• 2:57
  Speaker 2: ridiculous on both ends of the spectrum. So people have
• 3:01
  Speaker 2: to know and they have to be able to judge.
• 3:03
  Speaker 2: Are these is this clickbait just trying to get me
• 3:06
  Speaker 2: angry or or fearful? Because if it's playing on your emotions,
• 3:11
  Speaker 2: then don't go there. They need to go to trusted sources.
• 3:16
  Speaker 2: And especially when it comes to elections, I recommend My
• 3:21
  Speaker 2: Faith Votes or iVoterGuide. Those are specific. Yeah. And iVoterGuide
• 3:27
  Speaker 2: is in every state. It has every election all the
• 3:30
  Speaker 2: way down to school boards, which give you information. Here
• 3:32
  Speaker 2: are those candidates' values on a spectrum between from the
• 3:37
  Speaker 2: left or to the right. So whatever your political party,
• 3:40
  Speaker 2: it doesn't matter. It's like, does this candidate represent my
• 3:44
  Speaker 2: values or not? And you're always going to be judging
• 3:47
  Speaker 2: between the lesser of two evils. Unless Jesus Christ comes
• 3:51
  Speaker 2: and is on a ballot, it's always going to be
• 3:54
  Speaker 2: two evils. So you have to decide which one most
• 3:57
  Speaker 2: closely aligns with my values or won't hurt my values anymore.
• 4:02
  Speaker 2: As much as the other one. But yeah, there's a
• 4:04
  Speaker 2: lot of sources, I would say. And if they go
• 4:07
  Speaker 2: to americaswomen.org, we do send a weekly newsletter. They can
• 4:12
  Speaker 2: sign up for that. We put out articles and things
• 4:17
  Speaker 2: to help them understand what's happening, why it matters, and
• 4:20
  Speaker 2: what they can actually do about it on a given week.
• 4:24
  Speaker 2: And we're hoping to branch into new states across the
• 4:27
  Speaker 2: country where each state will have its own handful of women,
• 4:31
  Speaker 2: just like what started in Arizona back in 2020. And
• 4:34
  Speaker 2: now we've got over 40,000 people following us, some in
• 4:37
  Speaker 2: other states, but we want that local aspect to be
• 4:41
  Speaker 2: there in each state where they can also tell you
• 4:46
  Speaker 2: where you are, what's happening in your state, what's going
• 4:50
  Speaker 2: on in the legislature and all of that. So wherever
• 4:53
  Speaker 2: you are, you need to get involved.
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: Please don't move. There's more with Kim Miller coming up next.
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: Do I vote? Should I vote? Could I vote? What
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: happens if I don't vote? Let's go ahead and ask
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: Kim Miller what you should do. I got to be
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: honest with you, and it may be just me. And
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: the thing is, is that I love Election Day because
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: it means I'm going to go stand in line. But
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: you know what? It doesn't matter who's voting for who.
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: I love the conversations. My God. I mean, you're looking
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: at other people that are part of your community and
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: it gives you that opportunity to reach out there, shake
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: their hand, fist bump, do something and and realize that, no,
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: you're not alone. We're all sitting here trying to figure
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: this out. And that voice, which is called a vote,
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: does count and that we can work together as one.
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: It doesn't matter who you vote for. Let's just be
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: a community.
• 5:39
  Speaker 2: Oh, amen. I remember when election day was a big deal.
• 5:42
  Speaker 2: It was like a party.
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: Hey, let's go.
• 5:44
  Speaker 2: Let's get that sticker. We need to reinvigorate and party
• 5:48
  Speaker 2: the vote, man. We need to get there in those lines.
• 5:52
  Speaker 2: I have stood in polling places and handed out information
• 5:56
  Speaker 2: so people are informed once again. And everybody's, you know, pretty,
• 6:00
  Speaker 2: you know, in a good mood. It's actually pretty fun,
• 6:03
  Speaker 2: you know, and it's, it's, it's a slice of Americana.
• 6:08
  Speaker 2: Everybody should go just, you know, you can just be positive.
• 6:13
  Speaker 2: The fact that you have the right to vote is huge.
• 6:16
  Speaker 2: And so many countries look around. They are just a
• 6:20
  Speaker 2: mess and they don't have a right to vote. They've
• 6:22
  Speaker 2: they've allowed these socialist ideas to come in where really
• 6:27
  Speaker 2: it's it's a sham. And these poor people are suffering.
• 6:30
  Speaker 2: We cannot let that happen in America. We have got
• 6:33
  Speaker 2: to stand up and vote for American values.
• 6:36
  Speaker 1: I got to tell you, North Carolina this year did
• 6:38
  Speaker 1: something that I thought was just so magnetic and so,
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: so promotional. Their I voted sign on the sticker. is
• 6:45
  Speaker 1: so beautiful and so catchy and artsy that you go,
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: I want one of those go vote. I mean, you
• 6:51
  Speaker 1: see how they have to work it. They've got to
• 6:52
  Speaker 1: be able. And last year we got this really cool
• 6:54
  Speaker 1: pin when we got to vote. So they're really working
• 6:57
  Speaker 1: the people by going, all right, you came in here.
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: You gave us a vote. Here's something. It's like going
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: to the dentist. You get a gift.
• 7:06
  Speaker 2: Yes. I love that. I'm going to have to look
• 7:08
  Speaker 2: that up and see what it looks like. It's pretty cool.
• 7:10
  Speaker 1: It's pretty cool.
• 7:10
  Speaker 2: Yeah. Yes, we want people to rock this and have
• 7:15
  Speaker 2: fun with it. And what we're also asking people to
• 7:17
  Speaker 2: do is when they go to our website, they get
• 7:19
  Speaker 2: all the voter guides and you can just download those
• 7:23
  Speaker 2: and get your ballot ready and then have a ballot party.
• 7:26
  Speaker 2: Just it's whether it's a happy hour at your house,
• 7:28
  Speaker 2: tell people, bring your ballot. We're all going to talk
• 7:31
  Speaker 2: about it. We're going to just like, you know, discuss this.
• 7:33
