The Michael Knowles Show - Ep. 1004 - Save A Tree, Kill A Baby - Democrats

00:00:00.000 Last night, the Associated Press reported that Senate Democrats' bill to write Roe v. Wade into

00:00:06.240 law blocked by GOP-led filibuster as Supreme Court Ways abortion case. That was the AP headline.

00:00:14.620 MSNBC similarly reported that a GOP-led filibuster derailed the bill to codify Roe v. Wade

00:00:22.060 protections. And since the AP and MSNBC reported it, you will not be surprised to find out

00:00:28.360 that that is not true. The Democrats' abortion bill failed by a vote of 49 to 51. That is not

00:00:36.200 a filibuster. The filibuster is a tool to delay or block legislation in the Senate. It has been used

00:00:43.260 by both parties and defended by both parties, including people who are now in the leadership

00:00:47.560 of both parties many, many times throughout history. But it was not used here because you

00:00:53.020 don't need to use the filibuster if the other side can't even win a simple majority of votes for

00:00:59.360 their bill. I obviously do not put it past MSNBC and the AP to lie. But in their defense, I also

00:01:06.800 wouldn't be surprised if the geniuses running those news organizations simply didn't know what the word

00:01:11.700 filibuster means. Regardless, contrary to what the AP and MSNBC reported, the bill did not fail because of

00:01:19.200 any strange rules, any chicanery. It failed because most senators voted against it. And most senators

00:01:26.500 voted against it because it would have outlawed virtually every abortion restriction in the

00:01:31.440 country. It actually did not seek to codify Roe v. Wade into law. If that's all the bill had sought to

00:01:37.420 do, the bill almost certainly would have passed because squishy Republicans like Susan Collins and 1.00

00:01:42.060 Lisa Murkowski almost certainly would have voted for it. The bill went further because Democrats have 0.89

00:01:48.400 adopted an extreme position on abortion that has absolutely no basis in the American legal tradition

00:01:53.840 and almost no currency among the American people, just 6% of whom support it, which is why they're

00:02:00.660 taking to the streets and throwing Molotov cocktails through the windows of pro-life pregnancy centers 0.79

00:02:05.300 and screaming in front of the houses of Supreme Court justices and scaring their kids in the middle of

00:02:10.220 the night. The pro-abortion movement cannot seem to gain any more power. It can't seem even to hold on

00:02:17.520 to the power that it already has in the ordinary political process. So now they're looking outside the

00:02:24.100 political process to mob justice in residential neighborhoods. I'm Michael Knowles. This is The Michael Knowles Show.

00:02:36.520 Welcome back to the show. My favorite comment yesterday is from Kevin Springer, who says,

00:02:41.840 the leftist says, this country is not a Christian nation, to which I say, our money literally says,

00:02:47.700 in God we trust. Yes, it does. Not just our money. We have a pledge of allegiance. We say I pledge

00:02:52.500 allegiance to the flag of the United States of America and to the republic for which it stands. One nation

00:02:55.840 under God. Our earliest national holiday in this country is Thanksgiving. To whom do you think they

00:03:02.840 were giving thanks? It's pretty clear. Actually, later on, George Washington tells us to whom they were

00:03:06.840 giving thanks. Our other national holiday, the 4th of July, what does that commemorate? It commemorates

00:03:11.820 the Declaration of Independence. What does the Declaration of Independence say? We hold these

00:03:14.700 truths to be self-evident that all men are created equal and endowed by their creator. Who's that creator?

00:03:19.660 We're talking about the big guy. We're talking about God. It's a completely ahistorical argument to say

00:03:27.120 that America is not a Christian nation, to say that Christianity is not the animating spirit of

00:03:32.800 America. It has been from the very beginning. And so what the Libs try to do is they take one or two 0.98

00:03:37.780 lines from a private letter of Thomas Jefferson or the Treaty of Tripoli, where we were trying to

00:03:43.340 convince Muslim pirates to stop stealing our sailors. And they take them completely out of the historical 1.00

00:03:48.180 and philosophical context of the country. And it leads people astray. It's lots of wish casting

00:03:52.480 from the secular left. Now, speaking of very zealous leftists, you know, we've had this scourge of

00:04:04.000 protesters outside of the Supreme Court justices' homes, yelling, screaming, doing all sorts of nasty

00:04:10.520 things, waking up the justices' families in the middle of the night. We've seen violent pro-abortion

00:04:15.460 demonstrations in the rest of the country, Wisconsin, Oregon, Maryland, throwing Molotov cocktails,

00:04:20.120 vandalism, graffiti, all sorts of things. I want to make sure that we're not just in an echo chamber

00:04:25.820 here. We're not just talking to ourselves. So I'm bringing on someone who I suspect is more

00:04:30.300 reasonable than Joe Biden. I hope he's more reasonable than Joe Biden. This would be David

00:04:34.200 Pakman. David coming back to the show, nationally syndicated progressive talk show host on TV and

00:04:40.680 radio. David, thank you for coming back to the show. The first time went so well, I had to come

00:04:46.160 back for seconds. I knew it. That's why we invited you back. And listen, I was disheartened to see

00:04:53.760 that Joe Biden and Jen Psaki would not condemn the protests at all hours outside of the justices'

00:05:00.420 homes and residential neighborhoods before their families. I suspect, I mean this sincerely,

00:05:05.300 I'm not being facetious at all. I suspect you are more reasonable than the staffers at the White House

00:05:09.340 now. Can we at least agree this is bad? It is bad to protest outside of Supreme Court justices' homes?

00:05:18.360 Well, so I suspect you want to have a good faith conversation about this. Is that a fair assessment

00:05:24.320 so we can speak freely here? You're not just looking to play gotcha here. I'm not. No, I'm not.

00:05:29.060 That's not what we do on the show. So let's see. This is not a protest technique I would employ,

00:05:35.140 right? But I have a large platform online where I'm going to reach way more people than going to

00:05:41.780 anybody's house. So like my personal thing is this is not a protest technique I would employ.

00:05:46.120 Let's go through like legality, morality, ethics, et cetera. Yeah. Anything that is a criminal act,

00:05:53.400 like a Molotov cocktail, destruction of property, whatever, it should be reported. If there's a crime,

00:06:00.980 people should be charged. If you can get a guilty, guilty verdict, they should be sentenced. Fine.

00:06:05.660 Very, very good. In terms of the speech aspect of this, you know, there's this case from the nineties,

00:06:12.620 Madsen V women's health center, which found that it's okay for anti-choice protesters to go and protest 1.00

00:06:23.620 outside the homes of just random workers at abortion clinics. Okay. Now that's not my opinion. That's a

00:06:30.500 decision that exists. Those are quite literally private citizens. They're just like medical

00:06:35.580 workers, right? So if that's okay and we have a first amendment, certainly showing up and protesting

00:06:44.200 isn't against the law. Are you and I on the same page about that piece?

00:06:48.140 No, because in the US code, 18 US code, section 1507, the law, the federal law explicitly prohibits

00:06:55.720 protesting outside of the homes of judges with the intention of influencing their decisions.

00:07:01.700 So if they were- The decision has been done though.

00:07:03.880 No, it hasn't. The decision hasn't come out. There was a leaked draft of the opinion. So I

00:07:07.700 would agree with you. It's not clear that they were in violation of the law if the decision had

00:07:12.340 already come out and they were just expressing their anger. But because the decision has not come

00:07:16.080 out, because it seems clear to me that the protesters are trying to change the course of how this decision

00:07:22.260 is going to come and try to bring political pressure. To me, it seems quite clear. This

00:07:25.740 is a violation of federal law. No, no lawyer I've spoken to says that this is against any law,

00:07:31.400 unless, unless some specific, you know, if they're even, if even something as relatively benign as a

00:07:38.120 noise ordinance, let's say there's a noise ordinance that starts at 10 PM. If it's 11 and you're being

00:07:43.840 loud, okay, now we have something to talk about, but there's, there's, I know that that's not the

00:07:47.920 lawyer who says there's any law being broken here. That, that is the law. I mean, the viewers are

00:07:51.780 free to go check it out, but that, that is a very specific law. There's also, there's actually a

00:07:55.060 Virginia statute too, but I'm just talking about the federal law, 18 USC 1507. You can look it up.

00:07:59.980 Now you might say, well, I don't like that law. I don't think it's just, I think it's a violation.

00:08:03.860 I just don't think it's applicable at the homes of these individuals in Virginia based on lawyers

00:08:07.840 I've spoken to. Neither you or I are lawyers. So we may just be, we may not get any further.

00:08:12.080 The statute is plain. Are you saying that you don't think that the, the protesters are

00:08:16.560 seeking to influence the decision? I haven't spoken to them, so I really can't say, but you

00:08:22.100 can hear what they're saying, right? What's that? You can hear the sort of things that they're

00:08:25.640 chanting. They're not saying, I actually have not heard what they're chanting. I have no, I don't

00:08:28.980 know what they're, what are they chanting? You tell me. They're chanting my body, my choice.

00:08:32.120 They're chanting, they're chanting, uh, you know, my body, my choice. Isn't change the, the,

00:08:36.640 the decision. Of course it is. That's just their opinion. My body, my choice. They're chanting in

00:08:41.320 support of the, of the ruling that will be overruled by the Dobbs versus Jackson

00:08:46.260 Women's Health Organization case. Listen, I think that if we want to get into the minutiae of this

00:08:51.760 at the legal level, I think you would have a hard time arguing that legally saying my body,

00:08:57.400 my choice is equivalent to saying change your decision. So I don't know. David, why, why,

00:09:02.340 what would they be doing outside of the justice's homes before a decision comes out after a leaked

00:09:07.640 opinion? Expressing their opinion. I mean, listen, I don't think you're going to win on that. I don't

00:09:11.760 think you're going to win on legally. They were breaking the law because they said my body,

00:09:15.340 my choice. It seems very weak. No, David, they're not merely saying my body, my choice,

00:09:19.440 and they're not merely posting some opinion online. They're going to the homes of these people

00:09:23.020 that actually the group that sent them, it's called Ruth sent us. They said that this is an

00:09:26.580 unacceptable attack on women and LGBT, and we need to force them, right? That was the key word. 1.00

00:09:32.500 We need to force them to change their views using a diversity of tactics. And we would acknowledge

00:09:37.700 that peaceful protesting is just one tactic. So it seems like they're calling for other things,

00:09:41.440 but, but even that word force, what is, what is that word? Michael, now you're blending. Now

00:09:46.540 you're saying, well, they've used peaceful protesting, but they're calling for other

00:09:52.080 things. No, no, no, but that, so they've broken. That isn't my, that isn't my problem. No, no. I

00:09:55.720 mean, I think that that is a separate issue, but the very fact that the organization, I'm sorry,

00:10:01.760 but you brought, you introduced it in this conversation. That's, that's a problem as well,

00:10:05.840 that they're calling for a diversity of tactics. But the chief problem that we're discussing here

00:10:09.620 is that the organization that is taking responsibility for sending the mobs to the

00:10:13.280 justices' homes says we need to force them to change their minds. We need to force them to not

00:10:18.860 attack women and LGBT and all of the other minority groups that they're discussing. So even the word 0.94

00:10:24.380 force would suggest to me that, that they are attempting to influence the decision and therefore

00:10:29.300 are in violation of this law. Yeah. I, I, I'm not trying to skirt the main point you're trying to

00:10:35.220 make, which I am unsure I can identify, but I haven't seen that specifically said. So it's just

00:10:40.100 hard for me to comment on it. What I think you're pleading, you're pleading, pleading ignorance on

00:10:45.120 this point. No, I'm not pleading ignorance. What, what, what I can speak to is if any crime has been

00:10:50.960 committed, charge them. Okay. I'm totally with that. I'm totally with that. Yeah. Okay. That makes

00:10:55.600 sense. Do you, do you think now from your perspective as a reasonable Democrat, if you were advising

00:11:01.480 Democrats? I'm not a Democrat. I've never been associated with the Democratic party. Really?

00:11:05.800 What are you in any party or you're just independent? No. Yeah, I'm just independent.

00:11:09.300 Would you, you would generally vote for Democrats? I would assume.

00:11:12.740 I vote for more Democrats than Republicans. I don't care about parties though. I see parties

00:11:16.600 essentially almost like corporations that justify their own existence to just continue existing in

00:11:21.680 opposition to the other, other party. Do you, do you really vote for Republicans?

00:11:25.600 I voted for many in, there's lots of nonpartisan local elections where I later found out

00:11:31.360 some of the people were not Democrats, but I mean, it's kind of neither here nor there.

00:11:34.820 Okay. So, but you're not formally in the Democrat party. If you were advising a Democratic candidate

00:11:39.580 or any candidate for that matter, who is on the left, would you advise them to continue running on

00:11:44.780 this issue of abortion on this issue of, well, for instance, the bill that the Democrats last night

00:11:50.640 tried to pass, it failed in the Senate to, they said it was to codify Roe versus Wade. It actually

00:11:54.420 went further to create even more abortion protections. Would you advise them to run on this issue in the

00:11:58.760 midterms or to back away from it in the midterms?

00:12:02.100 I, so run on it. I think that there's two, from a political strategy standpoint, there's two options.

00:12:07.980 One would be run on the bill that failed yesterday. That doesn't seem like a good idea to run on that.

00:12:14.920 Um, I, I think where there is based on public opinion about abortion being as in favor of it

00:12:23.200 as ever before during the Roe v Wade era, public polling is now in the 60, 70% of Americans believe

00:12:29.060 abortion should generally be legal in most cases that that's not in every case, but in most cases

00:12:35.120 based on that, it seems to me it would be prudent to run on. We need to get the government

00:12:42.420 out of medical decisions between women and doctors. I mean, and again, you're, I, you and I are never

00:12:48.080 going to agree on something like when does life begin? That's a different, I agree on that. You

00:12:53.500 know, I had a gal who can't, whoa, whoa, whoa, hold on, but let me at least finish my sentence. 1.00

00:12:56.280 Sure. You asked me about strategy. It seems to me that since most Americans think abortion should be

00:13:02.820 legal in most cases, the right strategy thing would be, we need to get the federal government out of

00:13:08.900 in the middle of these medical decisions. But, but right now, if you've, if you, let's say that

00:13:13.980 the leaked opinion actually ends up being the final decision. Let's say that Roe v Wade is overruled

00:13:17.900 instantly as Elizabeth Warren says, abortion is severely restricted, if not outlawed in more than

00:13:22.820 half of the States. Instantly you, you've, you've, you're in a very different situation.

00:13:27.820 Knowing that the, there are all sorts of polls. There's polls that show that 94% of Americans reject

00:13:34.200 the absolutist view of abortion held by some Democrats. There are polls, as you cite, that show

00:13:38.660 that when you ask the question, do you support Roe v. Wade broadly, then there is some majority of

00:13:43.920 Americans that broadly want some abortion liberality. Yeah, but Michael, that's very mealy-mouthed.

00:13:51.080 I mean, let's just be honest. Ask the same way over the last 50 years, support for Roe v. Wade has

00:14:00.340 continued to go up. Fair? Well, it depends how you ask the question. If you ask-

00:14:04.880 Ask the same way over the last 50 years. Right. If you ask-

00:14:08.400 It has gone up. If you ask the question in a way that is, I think, hiding the reality of abortion

00:14:13.920 and is just talking about the decision Roe v. Wade, then sure, there's broad support for it. But if you,

00:14:18.800 but if you ask the question and you say, do you support this type of abortion? Do you support this

00:14:23.300 type of abortion? Do you support- Then the support is much, much smaller. This is why the bill failed

00:14:27.980 yesterday. You're creating distinctions only to create doubt when the point I'm making is

00:14:35.200 over the last 50 years, generally, overall, should abortion generally be legal in most cases,

00:14:44.160 support has gone up. You can admit that and still be against it.

00:14:47.460 No, but David, the problem is the devil is in the details because, I mean, I've got a poll right here

00:14:51.200 that goes into depth on different aspects of abortion polling that-

00:14:55.700 Depending on how you phrase the question, you get very different answers. So I guess my point is

00:15:00.540 this. According to some of this polling, very few voters and very, very few independent voters

00:15:06.780 support abortion as a top policy issue. It does not seem to motivate a whole lot of people to go to

00:15:14.980 the polls. Oh, fair. I would agree with that. I agree with that.

00:15:17.500 So therefore, in that case, if you were advising these candidates, you might say, okay, just keep using

00:15:22.620 the same lines that Democrats have used since Roe versus Wade. But if you were talking about focusing

00:15:27.260 a campaign, I think there are a lot of Democrats right now who say, we're going to run on this.

00:15:31.040 This is going to motivate everyone to go to the polls. Make your campaign about abortion. Would 0.93

00:15:34.880 you say that's a good strategy or would you say, hey, maybe back off a little bit and talk about,

00:15:38.640 I don't know, gas prices?

00:15:40.580 No, no, no. I don't think that's a good strategy. I mean, again, this is less about my opinion,

00:15:45.240 but it's about what the facts show. The facts show that economic issues are far more important

00:15:51.080 when it comes to running national campaigns. So I mean, no disagreement there. These are just

00:15:55.300 strategy questions. Yeah, absolutely. Sure. There was also, there was polling that came out

00:15:58.420 yesterday that showed that on the abortion question, in as much as it does motivate people,

00:16:03.320 it's actually, the Roe v. Wade overruling seems to be propelling Republicans at almost 2x the rate

00:16:10.220 as Democrats. So anyway, listen, David, I knew that you would be much more reasonable

00:16:15.060 than Joe Biden. David, that's all the time we have. Thank you very much for coming on.

00:16:19.000 Oh my God, it's over. We haven't even talked about anything yet.

00:16:21.960 Well, no, I think, as I gave you a compliment, but thankfully that's missing too. I think that

00:16:27.660 you've presented a more reasonable view than the White House has. I think you've presented

00:16:31.200 better political advice than the White House has for their own party. And so I appreciate you

00:16:35.220 for coming on. Where can people find you? DavidPakman.com. I can't imagine a more meaningful

00:16:41.440 compliment and praise than that coming from you, Michael. Thank you.

00:16:44.540 All right. David, thanks for coming on. Now, listen, folks, we need to protect not just our

00:16:50.820 families, not just our rule of law, not just our institutions. We've got to protect our homes.

00:16:56.300 That's why you need Ring. Right now, go to Ring.com slash Knowles. You know how much I love Ring. I've

00:17:51.840 great. Makes me feel so comfortable when I'm in the home, when I'm away from the home. To learn

00:17:56.160 more, go to ring.com slash Knowles. That's ring.com slash Knowles. You know, David wouldn't give me

00:18:01.640 the point, and he kind of pled ignorance on this aspect of the federal law, which is pretty clear.

00:18:05.780 By the way, it says very explicitly, you cannot protest outside the judge's homes to influence the

00:18:09.300 decisions. But I think he conceded the broader point, which is, yeah, I wouldn't use this tactic.

00:18:16.480 Yeah, I don't think this is very effective. Yeah, I don't. If they broke a law, you know,

00:18:20.920 let's arrest them and sweep them to the fringes. It would probably be wise for Democrats to do this, 1.00

00:18:27.040 because this is a loser for them. They thought leaking the opinion was going to galvanize support.

00:18:32.860 It hasn't. It's had the opposite effect. They thought protesting outside the judge's homes

00:18:37.060 was going to galvanize support. It's had the opposite effect. They thought, I mean,

00:18:42.260 I think the purpose of leaking that opinion was to codify Roe versus Wade into law and pass a national

00:18:47.720 abortion bill. They tried that. It failed. And it didn't even fail because of the filibuster. It

00:18:52.800 failed because they couldn't even get a bare majority of people to vote for it. And so now they're left

00:18:58.400 screaming into the void. There was a, I don't know his name. There was a guy who popped up some dash

00:19:06.180 something. He popped up on Twitter. He went viral yesterday. Some people said he looked like a deep

00:19:11.680 fake of me, like a kind of bizarro world version of me. And he expressed what I think is the very

00:19:18.780 common anger and very incoherent anger of the libs over Roe v. Wade.

00:19:22.960 I have a question for the department of justice. When Amy Coney Barrett said she'd uphold Roe v.

00:19:29.360 Wade in her confirmation hearing, she lied. Lying under oath is perjury and perjury is a federal crime.

00:19:36.340 Why didn't you take any legal action against her? When Neil Gorsuch said he'd uphold Roe v. Wade in

00:19:41.900 his confirmation hearing, he lied. Lying under oath is perjury and perjury is a federal crime.

00:19:48.120 Why didn't you take any legal action against him? When Brett Kavanaugh said he'd uphold Roe

00:19:52.940 v. Wade in his confirmation hearing, he lied. Lying under oath is perjury and perjury is a

00:19:58.920 federal crime. Why didn't you take any legal action against him? Merrick Garland, your decision

00:20:04.960 not to prosecute is going to cost women in America their reproductive rights. How dare you call

00:20:10.720 yourself the department of justice? Do your job. Prosecute the Republican justices.

00:20:16.760 Mr. Garland, how dare you call yourself the department? Does he call himself that? I don't think

00:20:20.800 he does. Well, they committed perjury. No, they didn't. Do the libs not know what basic words mean?

00:20:28.020 What basic legal concepts are? They don't know what the filibuster is. They don't know the

00:20:32.760 political concept. They don't know what perjury is. But this is a common refrain now that you're

00:20:38.120 hearing from the libs that Amy Barrett and Brett Kavanaugh and Neil Gorsuch perjured themselves

00:20:42.620 because of what they said in their confirmation hearings about Roe v. Wade. Well, what did they say?

00:20:47.000 I've got it here. I've got it from factcheck.org, which is sort of a, isn't that the left-wing

00:20:51.340 organization? I think it is, but they have the exact words here. And what did they say?

00:20:56.760 Gorsuch said that Roe was precedent. He wouldn't even say that it was super precedent. He said,

00:21:02.060 this is precedent. A senator, I would tell you, Roe v. Wade decided in 1973 is a precedent of the

00:21:07.640 United States Supreme Court. It has been reaffirmed. The reliance interest considerations are important

00:21:11.680 there and all of the other factors that go into analyzing precedent have to be considered.

00:21:14.860 It is a precedent of the U.S. Supreme Court. It was reaffirmed in Casey in 1992. So a good judge

00:21:19.880 will consider it as precedent of the U.S. Supreme Court, worthy as treatment of precedent like any

00:21:24.380 others. And Kavanaugh and Barrett did the same thing. They didn't say, I will uphold Roe v. Wade.

00:21:31.560 I will uphold Planned Parenthood v. Casey. They said, it is precedent. It should be treated as other

00:21:36.160 precedents are. And sometimes you uphold precedents and sometimes you overrule precedents.

00:21:40.580 And all the senators during their confirmationaries wanted the judges to say, I hate Roe v. Wade. But

00:21:46.560 they wouldn't say that because they were smart and they wanted to get on the court. So they just

00:21:49.440 said, yes. It would be as if they said, Roe v. Wade is Roe v. Wade. Yes. And Planned Parenthood v. Casey

00:21:55.560 is Planned Parenthood v. Casey. And Roe v. Wade has three words in it, Roe versus Wade. And one of those

00:22:02.100 words starts with an R and the other with a V and the other with a W. And that is my opinion of Roe

00:22:06.580 versus Wade. And that's what they said. And now they're going to overrule it. It was a precedent.

00:22:11.040 Might not be a very important precedent for much longer. This issue, I got into a little bit with

00:22:16.860 David. This is a loser, not just in terms of where the support is. David made the point that Roe v.

00:22:24.700 Wade, the concept of Roe v. Wade is popular enough. But abortion itself is not very popular, which is

00:22:29.960 why you've got to go into the details and why you've got to change the wording from the way Democrats

00:22:33.520 have in the polls to the way Republicans do in the polls. And then you've got the motivation factor.

00:22:37.400 People are simply not motivated by this issue at all. Only one in five independent voters,

00:22:42.640 according to new polling by the RNC obtained first by the Daily Wire, one in five independent

00:22:47.460 voters say abortion is the main factor for them in determining a candidate. Only 16% of independent

00:22:52.620 voters said abortion should be allowed at any time during the mother's pregnancy for any reason.

00:22:57.180 When you add Republicans to that number, then that number goes down to 6% of the electorate.

00:23:00.760 So it's the top issue for only 9% of voters. It's a loser, Democrats. I mean, keep it up. You're

00:23:06.260 only winning votes for Republicans at this point. You're only winning support for the overrule of

00:23:11.120 Roe v. Wade, but you are not helping your own side. All right, now speaking of life and death,

00:24:36.560 for Dems. Whether we're talking about abortion or whether we're talking about gender or transgender

00:24:43.080 or orientations or all sorts of sexual issues, you know that the number of genders has multiplied in

00:24:49.060 recent years from 2 to 56 to 75. Now there's a new gender. I found one yesterday. I had never heard

00:24:57.420 of it before. That would be cake gender. Okay, I would describe xenogenders as a gender that could not 1.00

00:25:04.440 typically be described with terms such as masculinity, femininity, neutrality, androgyny, things like that.

00:25:11.560 It's more of not how you relate to a particular gendered experience, but more of how you relate

00:25:18.960 to things. For example, cake gender. I know a few people who personally use this. It's typically

00:25:28.560 described as them feeling light and fluffy or sweet and warm, and it's not something that you

00:25:34.520 could typically describe with the terms masculine, feminine, androgynous, etc. Another example of cake

00:25:40.800 gender would be if someone feels like they have different layers or flavors to their particular 0.82

00:25:46.200 gender. I'm cannoli gender. I'm a little prickly on the outside maybe, but really soft and sweet in

00:25:52.640 the middle, you know, and full of chocolate chips actually too. Every gender identity other than man

00:26:01.280 and woman is a euphemism for narcissism, I have come to realize. Every single one, 0.99

00:26:09.140 you can be a man, you can be a woman. Before you become a man or a woman, you can be a boy or a girl. 0.92

00:26:15.220 Every other gender identity is just a case of people thinking about themselves too much. 1.00

00:26:23.500 It's not that they think too much of themselves necessarily. It's that they think of themselves

00:26:28.740 too much, and a man wrapped up in himself makes a small package indeed. Cake gender, the way that 0.99

00:26:36.600 this lib, who brought to us, of course, by Libs of TikTok, the way that she describes cake gender

00:26:41.600 is to say, yeah, I think that I'm, you know, I'm sweet. I think I'm a nice person. I think I take,

00:26:49.740 I have some levity to me, and therefore that's a special gender identity that makes me really special

00:26:54.460 and unique. No, you know, most people are kind of nice, at least some of the time. Most people can

00:26:59.080 be sweet some of the time. Most people have some levity. Most people laugh occasionally some of the

00:27:02.720 time. That doesn't make you super duper special, okay? It's a good thing. It's good to be encouraged,

00:27:08.860 but stop. If you just think about yourself and all the ways that you're so super duper special and so

00:27:15.980 different from everybody else, there will be no end to that. All you will do, like Narcissus,

00:27:21.700 is just look down at the mirror and just see yourself, and you won't be able to see all the

00:27:26.020 other beautiful stuff around the world. You won't be able to lift your eyes to heaven. You won't be

00:27:29.620 able to look around at your community. You're just going to be thinking of you, and that's not good.

00:27:34.320 That's really, that's going to drive you crazy, and the people who fall into this stuff are crazy,

00:27:38.820 and they're behaving in a really crazy way, and the way to stop it is to just stop thinking of

00:27:45.120 yourself so much. You are born with the facts of your sexual identity. Namely, you're a boy or a

00:27:53.820 girl, a man or a woman. That's that. Just accept that and move on. You do not need to discover or 0.98

00:28:01.060 invent or develop your sexual identity. You've just, you've got it. There you are. Those are the

00:28:05.960 parameters. Those are just like a sonnet has limits, just like all great art has limits. Those are your

00:28:12.440 limits, and you have unique aspects to yourself, and you can develop your own personality, but you

00:28:18.700 don't, you don't need to reinvent everything, okay? And actually, when you think about other people in

00:28:23.680 the world, and when you move on, when you can accept the basic facts of life, that will open, that will

00:28:28.300 free you to think about more important things. It will help you to grow up, which is really what so

00:28:34.380 much of this sexual revolution stuff is about. It's a bunch of people who are stuck and stunted in

00:28:40.580 their maturity at, I don't know, the age of 12 or something, and all they're thinking about is the

00:28:45.340 very base level titillating kind of fleshy things. Move on, guys. At a certain point, we have to grow

00:28:52.460 up, or we're going to have a society of overgrown children, which is unfortunately what we have, 0.99

00:28:56.420 and it's not leading to lots of great things. This is, by the way, not, I don't just want to beat up

00:29:02.460 on the people with the weird sex stuff. We all fall into this sometimes. This is why personality

00:29:07.240 tests are so popular on the internet. You know, am I an EPDJ or an IFP? Am I, what am I? I'm such,

00:29:15.500 you're such a Pisces. You're such a Capricorn. Yeah, no, I took this test, and I, you're just,

00:29:22.740 people do that. The reason that advertising agencies put those tests into websites is because

00:29:27.900 they know that you're extremely self-absorbed, and they know, and that's true, most, probably not you.

00:29:33.240 You're the creme de la creme. You're focused on, if you're listening to this show,

00:29:35.680 you're focused on broader things. But for a lot of people out there, they're extremely

00:29:38.940 self-absorbed, and they click those links because they don't really care about art or literature or

00:29:44.340 politics or things outside themselves. They really just care about themselves, and they want to talk

00:29:47.500 more about themselves. Don't do it, folks. It's super boring and silly and embarrassing. Don't do that.

00:29:53.380 Speaking of narcissism, one of the biggest Hollywood, Hollywood, one of the biggest Broadway stars,

00:29:58.460 Patti LuPone, just got caught on audio berating an audience member at one of her shows because the

00:30:08.120 audience member was not wearing his mask in exactly the way that Patti LuPone wanted him to.

00:30:15.760 I just want to address one thing. Please, put your masks over your noses.

00:30:24.020 Oh, do you want me to go put a mask on right now? Did I have a mask on during the show?

00:30:27.720 Do you want me to put a mask on? Because I will.

00:30:30.820 Your mask protects me so that I can perform.

00:30:34.200 I can do it like you all the time.

00:30:37.580 Put your mask over your nose. That's why you're in the theater. That is the rule.

00:30:46.120 If you don't want to follow the rule, get the f*** out!

00:30:48.920 Woo! Get out! Woo! Leave! 1.00

00:30:53.080 Who do you think you are that you do not respect the people that are sitting around you?

00:30:59.340 Salary.

00:31:00.620 You pay my salary. Bulls***, Patti LuPone! 1.00

00:31:02.960 Chris, I don't have to pay my salary. Excuse me.

00:31:05.520 Who do you think you are?

00:31:07.320 Who do you think you are? Do you think you're like me, the person not wearing a mask?

00:31:12.120 The best part of it, of course, is that she is not wearing a mask.

00:31:14.980 She's not supposed to wear a mask. She's a special person. She's famous.

00:31:19.460 She's, even though she's just a Broadway actress, she's probably got some, you know,

00:31:22.520 she's probably fairly wealthy. She goes to very fancy parties. She's celebrated. 0.91

00:31:27.120 She doesn't have to do it. Biden doesn't have to wear a mask. That's why he gets caught without

00:31:31.120 a mask all the times, even when he's making everyone else wear one. Dr. Fauci, he doesn't have to wear a mask.

00:31:35.680 All the celebrities at the Met Gala or anywhere else, they don't need to wear masks. Only the

00:31:40.020 dirty, filthy, disgusting staff who might spread their peasant germs to the beautiful elite people, 0.99

00:31:45.800 they need to wear the mask. And usually, usually the elites have the common sense,

00:31:50.640 the common basic political self-preservation instinct to not scream at the unwashed masses

00:31:56.780 in public. Patti LuPone, like a lot of Broadway actresses, doesn't have a ton of control over her 1.00

00:32:03.040 emotions. And so she goes and just shrieks at this person and says, who do you think you are? 0.95

00:32:08.800 Do you think you're me? Yeah, I think that we have at least as many political rights as you are. At

00:32:14.000 least I think we should. And if you were really so concerned about the Wuhan flu, then you just

00:32:20.840 wouldn't perform in the first place. You'd either wear a mask on stage or you just wouldn't show up if

00:32:24.600 this were really such a grave threat to you. But it's not. And you know it's not. And it's just a

00:32:30.640 power trip. And it might have a little to do with neurosis too. But we're not going to take that

00:32:34.940 anymore, okay? And I give a lot of credit. The guy in that audience is the kind of guy who would go

00:32:39.560 see a Broadway show. So we're not, I don't think that this was some rock-ribbed, radical, right-wing

00:32:45.740 Republican or anything. This is the kind of guy who will go to very left-wing cultural events.

00:32:50.260 And he just said, look, I'll put them, but I'm not going to have it over my nose. And I'm not going

00:32:54.420 to back down to you, Patti LuPone. I don't think so. The libs are totally, totally disconnected from

00:33:01.120 reality at this point. Do you remember a few weeks ago, a few weeks ago, we heard that there might be

00:33:09.180 some food shortages in this country. We had an inkling that this was true because, well, for one,

00:33:14.340 our grocery stores have had some weird stocking issues. Supply chain hasn't been great. To say

00:33:21.260 nothing, a price is going through the roof. And when we suggested that, what happened? The libs

00:33:26.700 called us conspiracy theorists. The libs said we were spreading far-right misinformation,

00:33:32.260 disinformation. Oh, whoops. Not only do we have a food shortage, we have a shortage of baby formula.

00:33:38.520 formula. 40% of all baby formula products nationwide are currently out of stock. That's

00:33:46.040 according to CNN. The libs are blaming this on a recall of products from this one Michigan plant

00:33:52.380 that's run by Abbott Nutrition. There's a question, why is the plant, why was it shut down for so long?

00:33:58.220 Why couldn't they just resolve this issue and then reopen it? The baby formula shortage is a big

00:34:04.780 problem because, one, not every baby can breastfeed, not every baby can latch, not every mother can

00:34:09.300 produce milk. Sometimes the mother can produce milk, but not enough milk. So this is a real problem.

00:34:15.060 When you've got a little three-month-old baby, the baby's got to eat. If you don't have formula,

00:34:18.460 that is as acute a problem as there can be in a country. The timing of this, though,

00:34:24.800 really throws it into stark light. The conservatives right now are very, very worried that America won't

00:34:33.100 be able to feed its babies. The conservatives are trying to pass bills. The conservatives are

00:34:37.520 writing to the heads of the agencies, like the FDA, saying, what's going on? We need to make a

00:34:46.020 more efficient process. We need to pass some emergency legislation. We need to get formula to

00:34:50.480 the babies. That's what the conservatives are worried about. The liberals are worried,

00:34:55.560 deathly afraid that they won't be able to kill as many babies anymore. The conservatives want to feed

00:35:01.580 the babies. The libs want to kill the babies. The conservatives are proposing legislation to feed

00:35:05.980 the babies. The libs are proposing legislation to kill the babies, actually to kill more babies even 0.80

00:35:10.360 than you would see in a framework of Roe versus Wade. Which do you think is more popular?

00:35:17.940 Well, we know. We know because the abortion bill failed. So we know that that's not particularly popular.

00:35:24.280 So why are they doing it? Why are they doing it? I think, one, they're really trapped by their

00:35:30.420 own ideology. I think, two, they're captive to their radical, radical base, which wants abortion

00:35:35.920 on demand without apology. And three, I think it's just kind of the devil, folks. I think, you know,

00:35:42.380 it's kind of like that bell curve meme where at the very bottom of the bell, like the really dumb

00:35:46.800 people on the bell curve, they're just like, duh, bad people collude with the devil. And then in the

00:35:51.500 middle, it's like, well, no, actually, you know, it's because of all of these rationalist reasons that

00:35:54.900 blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. And then at the very top of the IQ bell curve, it's like, no,

00:35:58.280 it's probably just the devil. I think that's kind of what it is. When you see people crazed,

00:36:02.960 like Elizabeth Warren was, fire in her eyes, fingers itching for the tomahawk, saying, 1.00

00:36:07.180 I'm so angry about Roe versus Wade. We're going to stop it. We're going to kill all these babies. 0.99

00:36:10.960 We're going to fight back against these babies. The only way that I can explain that mania,

00:36:16.780 ultimately at a really deep level, is that evil is real. There's a personification of evil and

00:36:21.040 people collude with it. That's it. Do I sound like a crazy conspiracy theorist? No,

00:36:25.440 I think I sound like pretty much every wise person throughout the history of the world,

00:36:30.320 all of whom knew that good and evil are real things and have real personalities. And we have

00:36:35.880 some relation to them. Okay. There is a former Ohio state senator, a blue check on Twitter,

00:36:43.260 Nina Turner, who is actually, she's actually taken it all the way to its logical conclusion and has said,

00:36:50.980 look, look, there's a baby formula shortage and Roe v. Wade might be overruled.

00:36:57.120 This just shows you, right? If you were a conservative, you said, this just shows you

00:37:01.040 we need to feed the babies. She said, this just shows you how important it is

00:37:03.780 to kill more of the babies. We got a baby formula shortage. What's the answer to that? You can either

00:37:08.960 make more food or kill more babies. And this woman actually says, quote, there's a national shortage 0.99

00:37:13.600 of baby formula. That means babies are going hungry. Instead of taking care of our nation's

00:37:17.080 children, conservatives are worried about banning abortions. Sickening. And this is actually,

00:37:24.140 in her defense, this is the left's argument for abortion. The left's argument for abortion is if 1.00

00:37:29.080 a baby might suffer ever, if a baby might have any hardship in his life, it would be better to kill

00:37:37.460 that baby than to let him live and be adopted by parents or whatever. The argument is that suffering

00:37:46.040 of any kind is worse than death. And it explains the libs' reaction to abortion. It explains the

00:37:51.020 libs' reaction to suicide. It explains the libs' policies on drugs, actually, for that matter.

00:37:57.760 Explains the libs' reaction to questions of life. Now, you know, tomorrow is the mailbag.

00:38:04.640 I'm very excited. We've got this new, wonderful process where I get to hear from you in the mailbag.

00:38:09.440 Not just read your questions, but I will get to hear from you. You can leave voicemails in my mailbag.

00:38:14.520 We will play them on the show, so make sure you become a Daily Wire member to go do that.

00:38:18.220 Also, it is the most infamous Supreme Court case in history. It is the deadliest decision in history.

00:38:26.940 And even 50 years after Roe v. Wade, few know the full gruesome truth behind that landmark decision,

00:38:32.820 this decision that has enabled the destruction of over 64 million babies since 1971. Well, tomorrow,

00:38:38.900 May 13th, the Daily Wire will take a wrecking ball to all the four big lies that the abortion 0.98

00:38:43.840 industry is built upon. Tune into the world premiere of our original documentary featuring yours truly

00:38:50.020 called Choosing Death, the Legacy of Roe. Uncover the inside story of how Roe v. Wade came to pass

00:38:56.100 and why it needs to pass away. Here's the trailer.

00:39:03.140 Many times when we did this, as we started, patients would begin crying and protesting.

00:39:18.000 But once we had begun dilating the cervix and passing instruments into the uterus, it was too late to stop.

00:39:25.500 I was handing hush money to women who we had left pieces of their baby. We had put these women's 1.00

00:39:40.720 lives in jeopardy. We had put their lives at risk, and we were literally giving them a check for $800.

00:39:46.620 And for a poor woman, $800 is a lot of money. 1.00

00:39:55.340 I mean, there have been so many moments in the last decade plus of going undercover in abortion clinics

00:40:00.340 myself and seeing just heartbreaking things. Women vomiting in the hallway of an abortion clinic,

00:40:07.480 crying out in pain. The late-term abortionists talking casually about how they would literally

00:40:13.880 leave a born-alive baby to die. Or if you deliver the baby in the toilet, then you pick it up and 0.63

00:40:18.660 stuff it in a plastic bag and bring it to us. Babies are being born alive. And the backs of their

00:40:24.740 necks are being slid. They are being drowned. Their necks are being snapped. It's happening more

00:40:32.860 often than people want to think about. These abortion facilities, these abortion providers,

00:40:39.860 these doctors. They don't care about these women. And you're just, you're realizing you're watching

00:40:47.200 in front of your own eyes play out America's greatest horror story, which is how we butcher

00:40:53.020 children in the name of choice.

00:41:23.020 Please help us to expose the truth. Tell your friends to watch. If you are not already a

00:41:38.400 member, become one today. DailyWire.com. Tune in Friday to the documentary Choosing Death,

00:41:44.140 The Legacy of Roe. DailyWire.com slash choosing. Head on over there right now to join the fight.

00:41:50.440 We'll be right back with a lot more.

00:41:53.020 We've got food shortages. We've got inflation at record highs. We've got gas prices at record

00:42:09.500 highs. We've got immigration, especially illegal immigration at record highs. We've got the first 0.86

00:42:13.780 major war in Europe since World War II. We've got lots and lots of problems. Nothing is going

00:42:22.400 right for Joe Biden. And yet Joe Biden insists that this is his strength. And I agree with what

00:42:32.820 Chairman Powell said last week, that the number one threat is the strength and that strength that we've

00:42:40.080 built is inflation. The number one threat is the strength and the strength that we've built is

00:42:51.780 inflation. Now I'm, I think that might be true. I think, I think fact check true on it. Then the number

00:43:01.300 one threat is the strength. Okay. What is it? Strength isn't a threat, right? But what do you,

00:43:05.780 what do you mean by strength? You're saying the strength is that you have built is inflation.

00:43:11.220 Well, you did build inflation. You are one of the principal drivers of the inflation crisis we

00:43:16.580 have right now. And that is the number one threat. So I guess he's telling the truth,

00:43:20.440 probably unwittingly, probably because the teleprompter was too difficult for him to read

00:43:24.340 or something. But I think Joe Biden actually may have just accidentally said the most honest thing

00:43:29.500 he's ever said in his entire career. Yes, this is the threat. This is a major threat to the country,

00:43:36.740 disproportionately to people at the lower end of the socioeconomic spectrum. And it's a big threat 0.99

00:43:42.720 to his presidency. And it's why the Democrats are running scared here. I think it's why in large part,

00:43:49.940 they tried to shift away from the economic problems to a cultural issue like abortion. And then abortion

00:43:54.980 didn't work for them. Then it turned out that was actually a loser too. So now they're trying to

00:43:58.560 shift and say, Republicans want to get rid of contraception. They're making this argument.

00:44:01.820 They're saying, if we overrule Roe v. Wade, then they're going to overrule the Griswold decision,

00:44:05.640 which found a constitutional right to contraception. They're going to outlaw interracial 1.00

00:44:10.480 marriage. They're truly grasping at straws because they know that this is a loser. They know that the

00:44:19.760 midterms right now, unless there is widespread voter fraud, which there might be. There's a great new

00:44:26.140 movie out by Dinesh D'Souza called 2000 Mules. I actually haven't seen the whole movie yet,

00:44:30.140 so I want to wait to comment on it until I can finish the movie. But there is, you know, as we've

00:44:34.740 said, especially on this show, as we've said from the very beginning since election night 2020,

00:44:41.220 lots of questions about that election, lots of weird stuff, lots of obvious violations of the law

00:44:46.300 in certain states and how the election was conducted. Huh, it's kind of, that's not good. If we don't get our

00:44:51.260 election security under control, then we're not going to, it's not going to matter how much momentum we have

00:44:55.180 going into the midterms or into 2024. But assuming that we can get that under control, which we have

00:45:00.300 in certain states at least, it's going to be a blowout. Assuming nothing changes, it's going to

00:45:05.860 be an absolute blowout for Joe Biden and for the Democrats. I think a lot of people right now are

00:45:10.920 looking back on those Trump days, those days of Republican rule quite fondly. I think, I think

00:45:16.160 people want Trump back. If not in the White House, though probably that too, but if not in the White House,

00:45:20.760 certainly on Twitter, which is why Elon Musk is now saying, this is really breaking news,

00:45:24.440 Elon Musk is saying he will, he would gladly reinstate Trump's Twitter account.

00:45:30.060 I guess the answer is that I would reverse the perma ban. I would say I'm not, I don't own Twitter yet, 0.98

00:45:36.340 so this is not like a thing that will definitely happen, because what if I don't own Twitter?

00:45:40.420 But my opinion, and Jack Dorsey, I want to be clear, shares his opinion, is that we should not have

00:45:46.240 perma bans.

00:45:47.220 Okay, great. Great, done. Why is he doing this? One, because it's the right thing to do. Elon made

00:45:53.800 this point, explicitly said, I think it was morally wrong to ban Trump, but he's also doing it. This

00:45:59.040 is a real message. If you're not a true rock-ribbed conservative, constitutionalist, patriot, whatever

00:46:04.840 word you want to use, at least let me appeal to your self-interest right now. The issues that

00:46:11.540 conservatives are running on are winning issues. Having the ability to speak freely on social media,

00:46:19.020 that's a winning issue. The libs have a losing position on that. The conservatives have a winning

00:46:23.040 position. Pro-life, pro-life or pro-abortion, look at that vote yesterday in the Senate. The pro-life

00:46:28.620 side is the winning argument here. Okay, the restricting immigration, that is a winning argument. 1.00

00:46:38.300 Poll after poll after poll shows it. The stop printing money and sending it to all people all

00:46:44.580 over the world and actually maybe focus your resources at home, that's a winning argument.

00:46:50.180 Stop letting Dr. Fauci govern the country, get rid of all the stupid COVID stuff. That's a winning 0.61

00:46:53.960 argument. All the conservative arguments are winning. Even just from your self-interest,

00:47:00.400 you should be siding with the conservatives. If you're in the middle, if you're a squish, 1.00

00:47:04.920 if you're an independent, it is in your interest to side with the conservatives.

00:47:07.900 For goodness sakes, even Whoopi Goldberg agrees on this point, especially on the point that Elon just

00:47:12.360 made. Whoopi Goldberg, on the view she is a very left-wing lady, she just said, yeah, 1.00

00:47:18.400 if Elon wants to put Trump back on Twitter, that's probably the right thing to do.

00:47:21.600 Listen, Donald Trump wants to be on Twitter. If people want to listen to him, fine. Fine.

00:47:27.620 Because that's what it is. That's where we have said to people, you have the right to say whatever

00:47:33.520 you want to in this place. We've let it go. And when it suited us, it was fine. And when it doesn't

00:47:40.900 suit us, it's a problem. So right, Whoopi. You tell him. That's right. Yes. If people want to

00:47:47.160 listen to Donald Trump, who is, by the way, who is not some fringe, radical, extremist,

00:47:52.420 dangerous, he's a former president of the United States, for goodness sakes. He's been a celebrity

00:47:56.480 for 40 years. He's a very well-known cultural figure. If people want to hear from him,

00:48:00.420 they should be able to hear from him. It's not just crazy right-wingers who think that.

00:48:05.120 A lot of liberals think that too. A lot of Democrats think that too. That's why the

00:48:07.820 Democrats are getting crushed in the polls right now. We want to talk about issues of freedom.

00:48:12.440 Senator Cruz just proposed a phenomenal new bill. This is the, wait for it. It's the Allowing

00:48:20.200 Military Exemptions Recognizing Individual Concerns About New Shots Act of 2022, also known as the

00:48:29.900 Americans Act. That, boo, boo, Senator Cruz. That acronym is too good. It's too good. You know,

00:48:40.380 politicians love acronyms. That's a really good one. And it's a really great bill.

00:48:44.080 Senator Cruz and a group of 13 GOP senators, so 14 total, have introduced this bill to protect

00:48:51.440 military service members from punishment for declining to get the Fauci ouchie. This is a good

00:48:56.860 idea because Joe Biden wants to punish conservatives, largely conservatives, but anyone who has an

00:49:01.560 opposition to taking this experimental drug that doesn't do what everyone told us it was going to do

00:49:05.880 to protect against the virus, which isn't nearly as bad as everyone told us it was going to be,

00:49:11.900 which is just to protect people from having medical experiments done on them, okay? Especially

00:49:15.420 our service members. It seems like really basic stuff. And there have been lots of military members

00:49:20.320 who've been discharged already over this issue. So this bill would protect them, allow them to go

00:49:25.560 back into the service. This bill would protect people who are still holding out in the service

00:49:29.180 who don't want to take this dumb shot. Really great stuff. It's the right thing to do. Senator Cruz,

00:49:35.760 I mean, I know this personally because we host a show together and we've been talking about this

00:49:38.680 from the very beginning. He has always been on the side of this issue, right? He's always been

00:49:43.920 saying, no, we shouldn't, no one should be forced to take this shot, but definitely not the service

00:49:48.360 members. Now there might be, with the elections coming up, there might be an opportunity to push

00:49:53.740 this through. Certainly by the time the next Senate rolls around, every Republican should be running

00:50:00.600 on this. Every Republican. Not only because it's the right thing to do, but because it's a winning

00:50:05.700 issue. The reason I brought David Pakman on the show today was not to debate abortion. We debated

00:50:11.100 abortion with Bronte Remzik last week. You can go watch that debate. It's online. I felt she gave a very

00:50:16.660 honest view of her ghastly side of the argument and I appreciated her coming on. The reason I brought

00:50:21.140 David Pakman on today is because I know that he's got some at least reasonable political instincts

00:50:27.100 here. And I wanted to see, David, are you going to defend people showing up at judges' homes and

00:50:32.420 screaming and shouting? Are you going to defend this extra political kind of, you know, vandalizing

00:50:38.580 pro-life centers? Are you going to defend Democrats running on the issue of abortion? And to his credit,

00:50:44.880 he said, no, I'm not. I'm not. It's a bad idea. Don't do it, guys. Come on, back off it. I hope

00:50:50.720 that the Democrats don't get the message. I hope Republicans hold firm. I hope a lot of people in

00:50:55.020 the middle catch what's going on right now and see these two visions of the country and side with the

00:51:00.640 people on the right. I'm Michael Knowles. This is The Michael Knowles Show. See you tomorrow.
