[00:00:00] Michele: Good afternoon, middle Tennessee. This is Michele Harbin
and Len Assante.
[00:00:26] Len: Hello everybody,
[00:00:26] Michele: and this is the Loyal Opposition coming to you live from
Portland, Tennessee and Sumner County. So Len, what's going on in the news
today?
[00:00:37] Len: Oh man. There is a lot going on in the news. Going on in the
news.
So much so that look at all these papers I had to print out. But what's really
exciting is our friend Mandy Cook is back with us.
[00:00:48] Mandy: Yeah. Thanks for having me back.
Sure. And Mandy's like our. I think we need to rebrand ourselves the indivisible
Tennessee Radio Network. Great. I can just come on and plug every week what
we're doing.
[00:00:59] Len: We're so [00:01:00] good with that. We are. That's part of why
we are here, part of what we do. Indivisible, you guys had a protest, held a
protest at Representative John Rose's Gallatin office last week. Before you tell
us about what's coming up, why don't you tell us how that went?
[00:01:13] Mandy: Yeah. It went really well. We had a good turnout. We had a
good press turnout. We had about 30 people show up, and I've seen stories
floating around. Yeah, I, the media covered it. I had no idea how many people
planned on showing up, so I was just pleased that there were more than a
handful of us.
[00:01:30] Michele: you said Thirtyish or So Yeah,
[00:01:31] Mandy: Yeah, about 30 people came out and John Rose, not
surprisingly, was not at his office. We were instead greeted by Ray Render, his
the lieutenant. Yes. Deputy Lieutenant Michele's buddy. Something. Oh, Ray,
go way back. Oh, Ray. Yeah, so Ray did hold a forum with us, which it was
good to be able to have a platform for people's voices and concerns to be heard.
