Multiple tornadoes were confirmed across southern states Tuesday night through Wednesday morning, with at least two people dead.
Montgomery County Emergency Management Director Christina Thornton confirmed two deaths in Alabama early Wednesday morning.
&#8220;We don&#8217;t have an exact number, and I do not want to give out incorrect information,&#8221; she said in a <a href="https://www.foxweather.com/weather-news/montgomery-county-alabama-tornado-deaths" target="_blank" rel="noopener">statement</a> to Fox Weather. &#8220;But there are minor, moderate (injuries) and the two fatalities that we have suffered in our community at this time.&#8221;
Search and rescue teams operated overnight to help those impacted by severe storms and tornadoes.
&#8220;It&#8217;s absolutely looking like a small community has been wiped off the map,&#8221; Thornton said. &#8220;It&#8217;s really devastating to think about when you look across the field, and you know that there were homes there the day before on your way to work, and when you&#8217;re leaving work this morning, they&#8217;re not going to be there.&#8221;
The Montgomery Advertiser later <a href="https://www.montgomeryadvertiser.com/story/news/local/2022/11/30/two-dead-in-tornado-north-of-montgomery-alabama-lower-wetumpka-road/69688019007/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">confirmed</a> that the victims included a 39-year-old woman and an 8-year-old boy who were mother and son. They lived just north of Montgomery, where a tornado touched down around 3 a.m. local time. Some schools in the area have been closed.
The severe weather caused heavy damage in Eutaw, Alabama, including the partial destruction of an apartment complex.

<a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/new-hampshire" target="_blank" rel="noopener">New Hampshire</a> authorities found the body of a 20-year-old female who had been reported missing after disappearing during a mountain hike in zero-degree temperatures last weekend.
Emily Sotelo, a sophomore biochemistry and chemical biology major at Tennessee&#8217;s Vanderbilt University, returned home to visit family for Thanksgiving break in Westford, Massachusetts.
New Hampshire Fish and Game Law Enforcement Division and Operation Game Thief Capt. Michael Eastman told <a href="https://www.wsmv.com/2022/11/23/body-vanderbilt-student-found-new-hampshire/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">local media</a> Sotelo&#8217;s mother dropped her off for a solo hike around 4:30 a.m. Sunday morning at Lafayette Place Campground in Franconia, New Hampshire, with the intent of hiking Mount Lafayette, Haystack, and Flume in the White Mountains of New Hampshire.
By Sunday afternoon, Sotelo&#8217;s mother reported to authorities her daughter did not arrive at the meeting location they had arranged, about seven to eight miles from where her body was found.
&#8220;Her mother watched her go up the trail,&#8221; Eastman said. &#8220;Her mother was going to meet her further down the hiking route to meet her for food and provisions, but she did not arrive.&#8221;
New Hampshire Fish and Game Law Enforcement Division and Operation Game Thief dispatched search and rescue teams Sunday night.
The Pemigewasset Valley Search and Rescue Team, which coordinated the initial search and rescue efforts, said in a statement, according to <a href="https://abcnews.go.com/US/20-year-hiker-missing-subzero-temperatures-2-days/story?id=93791048" target="_blank" rel="noopener">ABC News</a>, that the &#8220;temperature along the ridge [where she was hiking was] about zero, [and] 30 to 40 mph winds [made] the chill factor -30 degrees. The elevation of the mountain range is more than 5,000 feet at its highest parts.&#8221;
The rescue teams, which included 60 ground searchers and air support, spent the next two days looking for Sotelo until locating foot tracks and items belonging to the hiker on Tuesday afternoon at the headwaters of Lafayette Brook, which is a little more than three miles from the start of the trail where she was dropped off.
&#8220;It is strenuous to be up there,&#8221; Eastman told local media. &#8220;We have people coming down that can hardly walk by the time they get to the bottom.&#8221;
Authorities found Sotelo&#8217;s body next to the Brook, where she may have stopped after veering off the trail due to the harsh elements, on Wednesday morning — the same day she turned 20 years old.
Sotelo had previously hiked and enrolled herself in survival courses. However, authorities said she had only worn a jacket, exercise pants, and sneakers before leaving on her hike, which likely led to her death in the below-freezing temperatures and snow blowing up to 60 miles per hour.
Officials have not revealed a cause of death. However, the New Hampshire Fish and Game Department examiner confirmed there was no evidence of foul play.
&#8220;The biggest lessons learned in a tragedy like this is when you&#8217;re hiking in New Hampshire, especially in the White Mountains, be prepared for the unexpected,&#8221; Fish and Game Department Major David Walsh told <a href="https://www.wmur.com/article/lost-hiker-body-found-franconia-notch-112322/42052999#" target="_blank" rel="noopener">local media</a>, adding to be prepared with knowledge of the weather conditions, wear protective gear, and have food and water on hand.

Kid Rock slammed &#8220;dumb liberals&#8221; who he said have moved to red states and brought their &#8220;effing politics&#8221; with them as he mounts an effort to prevent the former home of late-legendary country music star Hank Williams from being destroyed.
During the <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/kid-rock" target="_blank" rel="noopener">51-year-old</a> singer&#8217;s appearance on &#8220;Tucker Carlson Tonight&#8221; on Tuesday, he discussed his effort to save the former Nashville home of country music legend Hank Williams from being demolished, <a href="https://www.foxnews.com/video/6316043586112?utm_campaign=later-linkinbio-foxnews&amp;utm_content=later-31226556&amp;utm_medium=social&amp;utm_source=linkin.bio" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Fox News</a> reported.
The home, known as Beechwood Hall, was built in the 1850s and is one of the few to survive the Civil War. The property was also once home to country music stars Faith Hill and Tim McGraw.
In 2021, a fund manager from California <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2vLbTCD_B3U" target="_blank" rel="noopener">reportedly</a> bought the property. Photos have shown the home in disrepair with neighbors <a href="https://www.whiskeyriff.com/2022/11/21/country-music-historical-site-former-hank-williams-property-beechwood-hall-is-in-jeopardy-of-demolition/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">reportedly</a> claiming it is slowly being dismantled and not being properly maintained.

&#8220;We are sick of seeing history torn to the ground,&#8221; the singer, born <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/i-dont-give-a-f-kid-rock-says-he-cant-be-canceled-and-he-loves-it-when-people-try" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Robert Ritchie,</a> said. &#8220;Whether it be in the form of monuments, statues, and now something so important here in Nashville, like the former home of Hank Williams, Beechwood Hall&#8230;Where does this end?&#8221;
&#8220;We kind of knew that from the beginning, once this fiasco started that it was never going to end,&#8221; he added. &#8220;And now we kind of feel like we&#8217;re under an invasion from the state of California, which we understand in a lot of ways. I have a lot of friends here that come from these spots — California and New York City.&#8221;
&#8220;A lot of people say it, and they say it under their breath, but they&#8217;re scared to say it out loud,&#8221; Ritchie continued. &#8220;So, once again, I&#8217;ll be the guy: They come here leaving these woke policies from those cities for better schools, lower taxes, lower crime. You have talked about it a million times. We kind of tell them to leave your effing politics at the state line from where you&#8217;re coming. And this is just one more example.&#8221;
He claimed the fund manager who purchased the property gave a handshake to the people in the community to preserve the home and said now it &#8220;seems like another avenue to tear it down.&#8221;
&#8220;And I don’t think there is anything more important in country music, if not American music, than Hank Williams — the greatest songwriter of all time,&#8221; the singer said.
He went on to predict that other high-profile people would join his drive, adding that there are &#8220;a lot more country music stars, musicians, just great people in the community that want to preserve this for the next generation to come.&#8221;

A <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/tennessee">Tennessee</a> couple made history by welcoming a pair of twins born from embryos that were frozen 30 years ago.
Before the birth of these two <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/children">babies</a>, the record for longest-frozen embryos resulting in a successful birth was 27 years.
Rachel Ridgeway delivered Lydia (5 lbs. 11 oz.) and Timothy (6 lbs. 7 oz.) on October 31 after adopting the embryos from the National Embryo Donation Center. Ridgeway and her husband have four other children who were not conceived using <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/science">fertility treatments</a>.
&#8220;There is something mind-boggling about it,&#8221; Rachel’s husband, Philip Ridgeway, told <a href="https://www.cnn.com/2022/11/21/health/30-year-old-embryos-twins/index.html">CNN</a>. &#8220;In a sense, they&#8217;re our oldest children, even though they&#8217;re our smallest children.&#8221;
The embryos originally belonged to an anonymous married couple at a West Coast fertility facility and were created using the sperm of the husband, who was in his early 50s, and a 34-year-old egg donor. The embryos were then frozen in 1992.
&#8220;We&#8217;ve never had in our minds a set number of children we&#8217;d like to have,&#8221; Philip continued. &#8220;We&#8217;ve always thought we&#8217;ll have as many as God wants to give us, and … when we heard about embryo adoption, we thought that&#8217;s something we would like to do.&#8221;
The outlet noted that five embryos were thawed in February and three survived. &#8220;You just showed me a picture of my three children,&#8221; Rachel said of seeing photos of the embryos. &#8220;I have to have them all.&#8221;
Following the transfer, two embryos were successfully implanted. 
The Ridgeways said they had specifically sought out embryos that had been waiting a long time for parents to adopt them. “We weren’t looking to get the embryos that have been frozen the longest in the world,” Philip explained. “We just wanted the ones that had been waiting the longest.”
The National Embryo Donation Center is a private, Christian-led organization that requires recipients to pass a “family assessment” and matches embryos with couples who are “a genetic male and a genetic female married for a minimum of 3 years.” The group said it has helped more than 1,260 babies from donated embryos find families willing to adopt and birth them.
“Embryo adoption is not a legal ‘adoption’ at all, at least in the sense of a traditional adoption which occurs after birth,” the National Embryo Donation Center says. “However, the term allows all parties to conceptualize the process and eventual reality of raising a non-genetically related child.”
Embryos can potentially survive in liquid nitrogen indefinitely. &#8220;It doesn&#8217;t seem like a sperm or an egg or embryo stored in liquid nitrogen ever experiences time,&#8221; Atlanta fertility specialist Dr. Jim Toner said. &#8220;It&#8217;s like that Rip Van Winkle thing. It just wakes up 30 years later, and it never knew it was asleep.&#8221;
“If you’re frozen at nearly 200 degrees below zero, I mean, the biological processes essentially slow down to almost nothing,” Dr. John Goner, who assisted the Ridgeways, agreed. “And so perhaps the difference between being frozen for a week, a month, a year, a decade, two decades, it doesn’t really matter.”

<a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/republican-party" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Republicans</a> in <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/tennessee" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Tennessee</a> have introduced legislation aimed at protecting children from sexualized drag queen events.
Tennessee&#8217;s Republican Senate Majority Leader Jack Johnson last Wednesday introduced <a href="https://www.capitol.tn.gov/Bills/113/Bill/SB0003.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Senate Bill 3</a>, which would make it an offense for &#8220;adult cabaret performers&#8221; to hold shows on public property or at any location where it could be viewed by minors.
The bill defines these performances as “topless dancers, go-go dancers, exotic dancers, strippers, and male or female impersonators who provide entertainment that appeals to a prurient interest.&#8221; 
Effectively, the bill seeks to keep sexual performances away from kids. 
Any performer violating the potential law would face a class A misdemeanor, with a maximum sentence of about a year in prison and a $2,500 fine. Repeat offenders would face a class E felony, punishable by up to six years behind bars and a $3,000 fine.
“This bill is about protecting children,&#8221; Sen. Johnson told The Daily Wire. &#8220;It is dangerous to expose children to inappropriate sexually suggestive drag shows. Early exposure to sexually explicit content can have harmful effects on children’s developing brains. I am trying to prevent that with this bill.”
The measure seems to be, in part, a reaction to footage of sexualized, so-called &#8220;family friendly&#8221; drag queen events across the nation. In one <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/dallas-gay-bars-drag-show-for-kids-obscene-sign-draws-angry-protests" target="_blank" rel="noopener" data-saferedirecturl="https://www.google.com/url?q=https://www.dailywire.com/news/dallas-gay-bars-drag-show-for-kids-obscene-sign-draws-angry-protests&amp;source=gmail&amp;ust=1668705842025000&amp;usg=AOvVaw2s6bfHW5xKo8SBdWKn3guq">example</a>, a Dallas gay bar hosted a &#8220;Drag the Kids to Pride” event over the summer where drag queens were taking dollar bills from children, as you might see a stripper do. A sign at the show also read, “It’s not gonna lick itself!”
<a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/desantis-makes-move-against-florida-bar-that-held-sexually-explicit-drag-shows-with-kids" target="_blank" rel="noopener" data-saferedirecturl="https://www.google.com/url?q=https://www.dailywire.com/news/desantis-makes-move-against-florida-bar-that-held-sexually-explicit-drag-shows-with-kids&amp;source=gmail&amp;ust=1668705842025000&amp;usg=AOvVaw15KM4klPWak-48aMUz7WHl">Video</a> out of a bar in Florida over the summer showed sexualized drag queens entertaining young children, too. In one instance, a young girl is seen walking hand-in-hand with a drag queen with exposed breasts and a thong with dollar bills hanging out.
And <a href="https://twitter.com/libsoftiktok/status/1582819545441390592" target="_blank" rel="noopener" data-saferedirecturl="https://www.google.com/url?q=https://twitter.com/libsoftiktok/status/1582819545441390592&amp;source=gmail&amp;ust=1668705842025000&amp;usg=AOvVaw0m51SHlP7aMTFX8ZA5dV2I">footage</a> from an outdoor pride event in Columbia, South Carolina, shows a drag queen performing with a young girl in his arms on stage, showing the girl how to take dollar bill tips from a rowdy crowd.
Critics claim the bill potentially infringes on the First Amendment rights of drag queens and view the legislation as targeting the LGBT community. 
Human Rights Campaign legal director Sarah Warbelow <a href="https://www.advocate.com/law/2022/11/09/bills-introduced-tenn-ban-drag-shows-gender-affirming-care" target="_blank" rel="noopener">told</a> the Advocate that SB3 amounts to intimidation of LGBTQ+ people and “perpetuates false, offensive narratives.&#8221;
&#8220;A drag performance at a bar for adults is very different from a drag story hour at a library; the first is theatrical entertainment and creative validation, while the second is about diversity and inclusion,&#8221; Warbelow said, seemingly suggesting kids are already effectively banned from sexualized drag show performances.
&#8220;This proposal as written should not impact drag story hours and similar events because they are not &#8216;prurient&#8217; performances, but it is evident that the legislation aims to mislead the public and intimidate LGBTQ+ people by perpetuating false, offensive narratives,&#8221; the director added.
Notably, Tennessee Republicans have also <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/breaking-tennessee-introduces-legislation-to-ban-trans-treatments-for-minors" target="_blank" rel="noopener">introduced</a> Senate Bill 1, the Protecting Children from Gender Mutilation Act, which would prohibit doctors from prescribing puberty blockers, cross-sex hormones, and performing gender-related surgeries on minors for the purpose of medical transition.
SB3 is set to be debated during the next legislative session, which begins on January 10, and is likely to pass since Republicans hold super-majorities in both legislative chambers.

Yet another <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/celebrities">celebrity</a> is leaving <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/los-angeles">Los Angeles</a> for a new way of life.
Danica McKellar, best known for her role in “The Wonder Years” but has more recently become a darling of the Hallmark Channel, announced that she’s ditching Los Angeles to pursue a different kind of life in rural <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/tennessee">Tennessee</a>. She also said the movies she’s been working on helped inspire the decision.
&#8220;My husband and I have been wanting more nature for a long time. We were kind of ready to not be in a city anymore,&#8221; the actress told <a href="https://people.com/home/danica-mckellar-on-moving-to-rural-tennessee/">People magazine</a> in a recent interview. &#8220;I am just loving the fact that my Christmas movie characters have rubbed off on me. I think it&#8217;s just a wonderful example of life imitating art.&#8221;
McKellar, one of many stars who recently switched from The Hallmark Channel to the new Great American Family network, has lived in L.A. for most of her life but knew it was time to make a change. Working on Christmas movies has also gotten her excited for the holiday season. 
&#8220;I&#8217;m gonna have a Christmas tree up probably next week. Let&#8217;s get this going,&#8221; she told People. 
The publication noted that the actress and her husband, Scott Sveslosky, moved to a Nashville suburb as they are still interested in the arts and music scene.
 &#8220;Memphis and Nashville are both entertainment cities. They&#8217;re known for music. Being from L.A. and being an entertainer, it&#8217;s nice to have creative people around,&#8221; she said.
&#8220;For me, honestly, it&#8217;s mostly about the backyard,” McKellar, who has a 12-year-old son from her previous marriage, told People. The “Wonder Years” alum said she especially enjoys the changing seasons, including the leaves turning different colors during fall.
McKellar joins a growing <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/hollywood-is-not-america-why-so-many-celebrities-are-leaving-los-angeles">list of celebrities</a> who have been vocal about leaving California for various reasons. Matthew McConaughey and wife Camila Alves moved their three children to Texas. 
“It’s been great,” Alves said of the change. “It really embodies our belief system, especially the ones I grew up with, like going to church every Sunday, saying ‘yes ma’am’ or ‘no, sir.&#8217;”
Singer Katy Perry said the same about moving to Kentucky, explaining how it made her realize, “Hollywood is not America.”
“Dawson’s Creek” actor James Van Der Beek moved his wife and five kids to a 36-acre ranch in Texas.  “We’re so happy right now,” he said of the move. “It’s been really good for all of us.”

Tennessee lawmakers have filed a bill to ban the controversial practice of pediatric medical gender transition in the state. 
Tennessee Majority Leaders William Lamberth and Jack Johnson, both Republicans, introduced the Protecting Children from Gender Mutilation Act on Wednesday, November 9, which would effectively bar doctors from prescribing puberty blockers, cross-sex hormones, and performing gender-related surgeries on minors for the purpose of medical transition. It would also allow patients and their families to sue for damages and let the courts impose an additional $25,000 penalty for each violation.
“This bill is about protecting children,&#8221; said Johnson. &#8220;Under no circumstances should minors be allowed to undergo irreversible elective procedures to mutilate body parts and intentionally harm their reproductive systems. This practice comes with lifelong health complications that children are not capable of understanding.&#8221;
The Republican leaders committed to writing the bill in September after Daily Wire host Matt Walsh released a viral video of a doctor at a Nashville university hospital referring to gender-transition procedures as &#8220;huge money makers.&#8221; 
Vanderbilt University Medical Center (VUMC) “<a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/breaking-vanderbilt-pediatric-gender-clinic-pausing-transgender-surgeries-on-minors" target="_blank" rel="noopener">paused</a>” all gender transition surgeries on children in October after Tennessee State representatives sent a letter to VUMC officials, urging them to “halt all permanent gender transitioning surgeries on minor children.”
The reporting on <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/hospitals-clinics-are-promoting-services-to-gender-nonconforming-kids-here-are-47-of-them" target="_blank" rel="noopener">pediatric gender clinics</a> and &#8220;gender-affirming&#8221; care, which effectively puts children in the driver’s seat to dictate the terms of their own sex change, has raised nationwide awareness and serious ethical concerns about the medications offered and procedures performed on minors.
None of the <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/u-s-medical-groups-get-the-science-wrong-on-pediatric-gender-affirming-care" target="_blank" rel="noopener">U.S.-based organizations</a> that endorse “gender-affirming” care have done systematic reviews of the evidence, while arguably more “progressive” European countries like <a href="https://segm.org/segm-summary-sweden-prioritizes-therapy-curbs-hormones-for-gender-dysphoric-youth" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Sweden</a>, <a href="https://genderreport.ca/finland-strict-guidelines-for-treating-gender-dysphoria/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Finland</a>, and <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/englands-national-health-service-abandons-gender-affirming-model-of-care" target="_blank" rel="noopener">England</a> have. After reviewing the evidence for the use of puberty blockers and cross-sex hormones in treating pediatric gender dysphoria, health authorities in all three countries have decided to abandon the “gender-affirming” model, finding the costs outweigh the benefits.
Florida additionally <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/florida-medical-boards-vote-to-ban-medical-transition-for-minors" target="_blank" rel="noopener">approved a rule</a> last week prohibiting minors from receiving gender transition surgeries, puberty blockers, and cross-sex hormones, making it the first ban in the country instituted by a state medical board.
“Interfering or destroying the healthy, normal reproductive organs of a child for the purpose of altering their appearance is profoundly unethical and morally wrong,” Lamberth said. “Tennesseans across our state have demanded an immediate call to action.&#8221; 
&#8220;Through the passage of House Bill 1/Senate Bill 1, Tennessee will protect vulnerable children who cannot give informed consent for adult decisions they aren’t ready for,” Lamberth added.
The Protecting Children from Gender Mutilation Act would also create a private right of action, allowing a minor or the parent of a minor who sustained injuries due to medical transition to sue for damages. Additionally, it would enable a child to bring a civil cause of action against a parent if that parent helped to facilitate their child&#8217;s medical transition.
The bill would allow courts to impose a $25,000 penalty per violation and the state attorney general to bring an action against a healthcare provider for knowingly violating the law within 20 years of the offense. The proposed bill would require the state attorney general to establish a process for reporting violations of the law.
The bill makes an exception for providing hormones and/or surgeries for children born with chromosomal anomalies or congenital defects that result in developmental sex conditions. The 113th Tennessee General Assembly is scheduled to convene on January 10, 2023.

This article has been updated on 11/10/22 with a statement from Amazon. 
Alexa owners in <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/tennessee" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Tennessee</a> were given false information about what hours they are able to vote on Tuesday in the <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/2022-midterms" target="_blank" rel="noopener">midterm elections</a>.
Numerous reports have emerged of Tennessee residents who have found that when they ask the Amazon-owned virtual assistant technology what hours they are able to vote in the midterm elections, Alexa responds, “There are no polling hours in Tennessee.” Polling hours in <a href="https://www.wjhl.com/news/your-local-election-hq/heres-when-polls-open-close-in-different-northeast-tennessee-counties/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">various counties</a> throughout Tennessee opened today at 8 a.m. and will close at 8 p.m. ET, with some exceptions in poll opening times. 
A source provided The Daily Wire with a photo of a wall-mounted device with Alexa’s full response: “There are no polling hours in Tennessee. Ballots must be sent by mail before election day, or returned to a designated ballot drop box or in person to the county elections department by 8 p.m. on Election Day.”
<div id="attachment_461387" style="width: 428px" class="wp-caption aligncenter"><img aria-describedby="caption-attachment-461387" loading="lazy" class="wp-image-461387 size-full" src="https://www.dailywire.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/11/IMG_0130.png" alt="" width="418" height="475" srcset="https://dw-wp-production.imgix.net/2022/11/IMG_0130.png 418w, https://dw-wp-production.imgix.net/2022/11/IMG_0130-264x300.png 264w" sizes="(max-width: 418px) 100vw, 418px" />Image provided to The Daily Wire</div>
The Daily Wire attempted to speak to a representative of Amazon to alert them of the issue, but it is unclear after a 27 minute phone call if the matter would be resolved. When Alexa owners asked the virtual assistant what the polling hours are in other states, she responded with the hours that matched top Google responses.
The office of Tre Hargett, Tennessee’s Secretary of State, was informed of the potential deterrent to voters, and promptly responded that he would be looking into the matter. Hargett has served as Tennessee’s Secretary of State since 2009.
The Tennessee Secretary of State <a href="https://sos.tn.gov/govotetn" target="_blank" rel="noopener">website</a> offers a portal that provides services and information for Tennesseans to access election information. The portal, GoVoteTN, allowed users to view early voting dates and times, find polling locations, view and mark sample ballots.
After this article was published, a spokesperson from Amazon reached out to The Daily Wire on Thursday, November 10.
“This response was an error that we quickly fixed when it was brought to our attention,&#8221; said the Amazon representative. &#8220;We continually audit and improve the systems we have in place for detecting and blocking inaccurate content, and will continue working to prevent something like this from happening in the future.”

Tennessee Republican Governor Bill Lee sat down with Ben Shapiro on this week&#8217;s episode of &#8220;<a href="https://www.dailywire.com/episode/ep-133-bill-lee">The Sunday Special</a>&#8221; to discuss why American businesses and citizens across the United States have relocated to the southern state.
Lee, who operated a family-owned business for 25 years before becoming governor, said creating a business-friendly environment ranked as one of his top priorities before entering office in 2019. Since he was sworn in, the state has garnered 272 project commitments to create almost 40,000 jobs and $12.9 billion in capital investments, according to the state website.
&#8220;Americans right now look around the country, and they see things that are worrisome,&#8221; Lee told Shapiro. &#8220;They want to be reminded that America is the greatest nation in the world, they want to see places that remind them that America hadn&#8217;t lost their way, and I think when they look at Tennessee — they see that and a whole lot of them have decided they want to be there.&#8221;
According to a report by the <a href="https://www.hoover.org/research/california-business-exits-soared-2021-and-there-no-end-sight">Hoover Institution</a>, Tennessee, Florida, and Texas have attracted California businesses — like The Daily Wire — and others from predominantly blue states. States like Tennessee, which offer fewer regulations, taxes, and workforce development strategies for business owners, help create jobs and opportunities for its residents.
<a href="https://chiefexecutive.net/best-worst-states-business/">The Tax Foundation</a>, a nonpartisan think tank focusing on state and national tax policies, ranks Tennessee 3rd for quality state business climates.
&#8220;Tennessee is a place that values opportunity and security and freedom,&#8221; Lee said. &#8220;And those things are things that Americans are looking for.&#8221;
But it&#8217;s not just the state&#8217;s business environment driving new residents and companies into Tennessee. The governor has been fighting against the federal government&#8217;s COVID policies since the early days of the pandemic.
Shapiro said the COVID response from individual states opened a wide gap between areas with strict protocols and those more focused on freedom. While legacy media praised states like California and New York for shutting down businesses and schools early and mandating face coverings, states like Tennessee &#8220;didn&#8217;t get enough credit.&#8221;
Lee said his background as a business owner in the private sector helped navigate his decisions to keep the state open as much as possible, despite the massive pushback he received from the media and the federal government.
&#8220;At the end of the day, I decided we can trust Tennesseans more than we can trust anybody else, frankly, because they know best,&#8221; he said.
Lee said the philosophy that people should be given the freedom to make their own decisions also extends to parents making choices about their children&#8217;s education and health care.
As a proponent for funding students over school systems, Lee also discussed how Tennessee became a pro-school choice state for families and why lawmakers are working on legislation for parents to moderate the content taught in the classroom and shared in the libraries.
&#8220;The Left says we&#8217;re attacking this or attacking that,&#8221; Lee said. &#8220;What we really are doing . . is we&#8217;re just protecting and preserving.&#8221;
Lee commended Daily Wire host Matt Walsh for his exposé on Vanderbilt University Medical Center&#8217;s transgender treatment of minors, which led to lawmakers demanding an investigation into the Nashville pediatric gender clinic.
&#8220;Whenever we can expose and make transparent things that are going on that people don&#8217;t know about — that&#8217;s a good thing,&#8221; he said, adding adults should not allow children to make life-altering decisions for themselves.
&#8220;It&#8217;s sad, and it shouldn&#8217;t happen.&#8221; Lee said. &#8220;It&#8217;s wrong on every level.&#8221;
Lee&#8217;s office also said he would contact state lawmakers about legislation regarding transgender care for minors after shocking videos showed a Vanderbilt doctor calling certain transgender surgeries &#8220;huge money makers.&#8221;
Gov. Lee also shared his optimism for the country&#8217;s trajectory ahead of the 2022 midterm elections, believing Americans &#8220;tend to stay on track when the country gets too far&#8221; on either side of the political spectrum.
With many Americans worried the country could fall apart without any uniting principle, Lee said Americans recourse to stand together rather than rely on the federal government.
&#8220;We make a course adjustment,&#8221; he said. &#8220;We&#8217;ve done it for 300 years . . . and we find ourselves moving down the path of a more perfect union. And every time we make that adjustment, we become a little bit more of a perfect union.&#8221;

<a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/tennessee">Tennessee</a> election officials said Wednesday that more than 200 voters cast ballots have been cast in the wrong races since early voting began in <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/nashville" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Nashville</a>.
Jeff Roberts, the administrator of the Davidson County Election office, told <a href="https://apnews.com/article/2022-midterm-elections-legislature-tennessee-nashville-9553e4e8966cf8196287aa914f0d7b4a" target="_blank" rel="noopener">The Associated Press</a> that 190 voters cast ballots in the wrong congressional race, 16 cast votes in an incorrect state Senate race, and six cast votes in a wrong state House race.
The Associated Press notified Roberts&#8217; office on Tuesday that voters were receiving information contradicting which race they could vote in.
&#8220;The fix has been put in place,&#8221; Roberts said, adding that officials sent corrections to the secretary of state&#8217;s office on Wednesday and that early voters would receive the proper ballots until election day.
Republican lawmakers recently divided Davidson County precincts during Nashville&#8217;s redistricting process, which caused some voters to have been placed in incorrect groups in the wrong districts.
Roberts argued that the problem affected multiple voters across all Davidson County.
In an interview with <a href="https://www.newschannel5.com/news/some-voters-cast-wrong-ballots-in-split-nashville-district-officials-say" target="_blank" rel="noopener">local media</a> on Tuesday, Roberts said &#8220;nothing can be done&#8221; when asked how to correct the votes cast incorrectly.
&#8220;If you think about it, we voted 45,000+ people early voting. I don’t know which ballots they are,&#8221; he said. &#8220;They all go into that scanner, and there’s nothing that identifies who, where, or anything on that ballot.&#8221;
Roberts was also asked to share his thoughts about how it plays into the lack of trust with voters and the election system.
&#8220;I think if there was lack of trust, it would be mitigated to some degree when you see the staff at an election commission, immediately upon recognizing that there is an issue out there, that they are fixing it,&#8221; Roberts said. &#8220;This is not something they swept under the rug and hope it goes away, and they are not hiding what’s going on. They are sitting down and inviting the press to come over and tell you what we experienced and what we’ve done to fix it.&#8221;
The Tennessee Democratic Party blamed Republicans for causing the issue and said it removes voting power from communities of color.
&#8220;The Republican Secretary of State is actively participating in voter suppression,&#8221; the Tennessee Democratic Party tweeted Wednesday. &#8220;They know they&#8217;re giving people the incorrect ballots, and they don&#8217;t care.&#8221;
Odessa Kelly, the Democratic nominee in the 7th Congressional District, urged voters to &#8220;lean deep into the process&#8221; at a news conference.
&#8220;To every person that feels frustrated, disenfranchised, don&#8217;t disengage,&#8221; Kelly said. &#8220;If you can hear my voice, if you can see my face, this is your election.&#8221;
&#8220;This is your district,&#8221; she added. &#8220;This is your future.&#8221;
Kelly faces incumbent Republican U.S. Rep. Mark Green, who said the balloting issue in Davidson County left him &#8220;shocked and disappointed.&#8221;
&#8220;No one should ever have to worry about whether or not their vote was cast properly,&#8221; Green said in a statement to The Associated Press. &#8220;The Davidson County Election Commission needs to fix this immediately.&#8221;
Republican House Speaker Cameron Sexton called the idea &#8220;ridiculous&#8221; to blame the error on a congressional map, emphasizing each district has an equal population.
&#8220;They&#8217;re complaining about something they could&#8217;ve sued about, but they didn&#8217;t sue because they couldn&#8217;t win,&#8221; Sexton told the AP. &#8220;So, it&#8217;s kind of hypocritical.&#8221;
State Democrats had said earlier this year that they would file a lawsuit over the map, but never followed through.
Marie Campbell, a Nashville resident, told The Associated Press her voter registration card displayed the 6th District, where she voted during the primary election and had planned on voting in the general election. However, after hearing about the error, she realized she should have voted in the 7th District, which is where she ultimately voted.
&#8220;I just would have approached the campaign a lot differently if I had known my neighborhood was in (Kelly&#8217;s) district,&#8221; Campbell said. &#8220;I would have canvassed a lot.&#8221;

Voter Supression

An experienced skydiver died as spectators watched in horror Friday when his stunt before the kickoff of a <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/tennessee" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Tennessee</a> high school football game went tragically awry.
Richard Sheffield, 55, was part of a team of professional skydiving performers who jumped out of a plane before the “Musket Bowl,” an annual rivalry between David Crockett and Daniel Boone high schools in eastern Tennessee. Horrified onlookers witnessed Sheffield plunging to the ground behind the stadium. He was taken to a local hospital, where he was pronounced dead.
“The deceased was a highly experienced jumper with decades of experience to their credit and a well-respected member of the skydiving community,” <a href="https://jumptn.com" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Jump TN</a>, the Greenville-based skydiving team to which Sheffield belonged, said in a <a href="https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/us/skydiver-dies-after-hard-landing-amid-high-school-football-game-festivities-in-tennessee/ar-AA13gzqY">statement</a> to USA Today. “The entire skydiving community is saddened by the sudden loss of a wonderful member of their community.”
Sheffield had completed more than 1,500 jumps, the group said. His parachute did open but apparently malfunctioned as he attempted a stunt leading. Witnesses said Sheffield hit the ground at an unsafe speed.

Home team Crockett has had the skydiving team perform pre-game shows in the past, and Friday night’s game was both Senior Night and the opening of a new field.
“Since it was David Crockett’s new field, it was their first game, [the] first Musket Bowl on their new field,” Daniel Boone sophomore Tyler Smith <a href="https://www.wjhl.com/news/local/everyone-was-shocked-witnesses-recall-tragic-skydiving-accident-at-musket-bowl/">told WJHL</a>. “So, I guess they were trying to celebrate it.”
The game went on as planned, with Boone winning 35-7 in the 52nd annual clash between the teams. But afterward, the community and Sheffield’s family shared their grief on social media.
“Today just doesn&#8217;t feel real, and the hardest day of my life,” Sheffield’s son Stacey wrote on Facebook. “Yesterday we lost one of the most important people in our lives, my Dad. I&#8217;m so thankful for the relationship we had. We talked every single day, multiple times a day.”
Stacey, who has a twin brother named Casey, said the boys enjoyed skydiving with their father and began at the tender age of 7.
“Being able to skydive with your Dad is another level of cool,” he wrote. “One thing Dad loved the most was going fast, and that&#8217;s how he went out.”
“Until we fly again, Dad. I love you. Blue Skies,” the heartbroken son wrote.

On Friday, Daily Wire host Matt Walsh held the “<a href="https://tickets.dailywire.com/rally">Rally to End Child Mutilation</a>,” an event that developed as an outgrowth of Walsh’s campaign against childhood gender ideology.
“Thank you, everyone. I want to thank all of our speakers for being a part of this event. We&#8217;re going to hear from a wide range of voices today — activists, academics, politicians, and de-transitioners — and we a very grateful for all of them. I want to thank especially all of you for coming out here today to show your support for this cause,” Walsh started.
“Now, these people here don&#8217;t want you to hear what we have to say because they&#8217;re cowards. They can&#8217;t engage in the argument. All they could try to do is shut us down and silence us, but it&#8217;s not going to work. We&#8217;re still here. We&#8217;re not going anywhere. We&#8217;re still here,” Walsh continued.
“So, what is the cause that we are here for? It&#8217;s very simple. We are here to fulfill one of our most fundamental obligations as Americans. As adults. As human beings. And that is to protect our children. That is why we&#8217;re here. If we will not stand up for them, then who will? If it&#8217;s not us, then who stands for them? The people out there shouting — they&#8217;re not going to stand for the kids. They stand for victimizing and preying upon kids. So it falls to us.”
“Now, here&#8217;s the fact of the matter: There is — in this state and all across the country — a conspiracy to target and indoctrinate our children into the cult of gender ideology. It&#8217;s a cult which fosters delusion and intentionally creates an identity crisis in young, impressionable kids. It&#8217;s a cult which convinces them that gender doesn&#8217;t exist — that they have no identity. It&#8217;s a path to confusion and despair,” the host said. “Now, for years, this has been happening right here in the state of Tennessee, not far from where we currently stand, as my team and I uncovered Vanderbilt hospital got into the gender transition game because it&#8217;s ‘a big moneymaker.’ Those are their own words.”
“And soon, they were drugging and mutilating adults, as well as children. Now, let me ask you: As Tennesseans, do we believe in castrating children do we believe in that? No. Do we believe in drugging and mutilating kids? They believe it — we don&#8217;t. Are we going to allow this in our state? Are we going to do what they want us to do? Which is to sit back in silence and allow our kids to be victimized?” Walsh stated. “Now, I have four kids and two more on the way. And like so many of you, I live every day constantly aware of the world that&#8217;s out there, of these people who want to prey upon my kids. My kids have no idea what these people will try to do to them. It&#8217;s not fair. It&#8217;s not right that our kids live in a culture — in a country like that.”
“But here&#8217;s the thing — I will not leave it to my kids to fight this fight. We don&#8217;t leave it to our kids. We stand up, and we fight. It isn&#8217;t our kid&#8217;s battle — it’s ours — and we&#8217;re not just fighting to protect our kids from mutilation — in the name of gender transition — we&#8217;re fighting that, but at an even deeper level, we are fighting for truth. That&#8217;s what we stand for. We stand for absolute truth. That&#8217;s what we stand for right there.”
“And that brings me to one final point that I need to make. The other side — the side that supports mutilating and drugging kids. They know they have no argument. They have nothing they can say. So they lie,” the host said. “And one of the most ridiculous lies that they tell is that they want to affirm kids. They&#8217;re not affirming the child. They&#8217;re affirming confusion. They&#8217;re affirming despair. That&#8217;s what they&#8217;re affirming.”
“Now, we do not affirm confusion, we affirm the child. When a child is confused, we affirm him. We give him the sort of affirmation that he desperately longs for and needs, and deserves. That&#8217;s what we do. That&#8217;s our message. And it&#8217;s a message that we hope resonates — not just across the city or this state — but all across the country because we&#8217;re building a movement, and we&#8217;re not going anywhere. We&#8217;re not going to rest until every child is protected from this madness.”
“So the other side: they can shout, and they could scream, and they could call us whatever names they want. None of that will dissuade us because this is a battle of good versus evil. And we are fighting for good. We&#8217;re fighting for what is true. We&#8217;re fighting for people who cannot fight for themselves and shouldn&#8217;t have to. That&#8217;s what we&#8217;re fighting for. We&#8217;re in this for the long haul for as long as it takes. This is only the beginning. I promise you that. Thank you all God bless.”
Walsh unexpectedly addressed the crowd once more after the barrage of protestors interrupted every speaker.
“I was only supposed to speak once today, but the trolls in the audience gave me such a warm reception. I thought I&#8217;d come out again because the way it works — if you try to shut me up or drown me out — I just keep talking. That&#8217;s the way this goes,” Walsh said. “That&#8217;s true of everybody here, right? But the more they try to drown us out, the louder we&#8217;re going to be.”
“As we wrap things up, I want to make one point. I&#8217;m actually very glad that these people have decided to come and be a part of this event because, for one thing, maybe they&#8217;ve been exposed to a little bit of truth. They don&#8217;t get a lot of that. So maybe they will learn some truth tonight. But also, we see the contrast between people who care about children, who care about families, and those who just tried to drown us out and who cannot engage in conversation. We see the contrast there, which is very important,” Walsh began his conclusion.
“But here&#8217;s the other thing. The reason they&#8217;re acting this way is because they are losing, and they know it. They&#8217;re losing. You guys are losing because we&#8217;re going to pass this bill, and it&#8217;s going to be illegal in this state, that&#8217;s going to happen — no matter what they say. And they will continue to lose as long as we continue to fight all across the country. So when you go home, I want you to call your congressional representatives. I want you to go online. I want you to speak to everybody you know.”
“Walk in the truth. Speak the truth to everyone. As long as we do that, then we win,” he added.
“Remember, the thing to bring up is that this is — as I said to start — this is really and truly a battle of good versus evil. This is black and white. And it&#8217;s very clear who stands on the side of truth. And that is us. Let&#8217;s keep the fight up, everybody. Thank you, everyone, for being here. Thank you.&#8221;
