A Republican senator wants to get rid of dual citizenship. A star of Stranger Things gushes
00:00:25.140
over how happy she is that her mom aborted her sister. And the FDA finally admits five years late
00:00:31.380
that you were all right, that we were all right, that Fauci ouchie killed people,
00:00:37.000
actually specifically killed American kids. I'm Michael Knowles. This is The Michael Knowles Show.
00:00:55.140
Welcome back to the show. A disturbing report out in The Wall Street Journal that college students
00:01:04.120
can't do basic math. Not really surprising, actually, to anyone who's taken a look at
00:01:08.860
colleges over the last 15 years, but pretty jarring. Also ties in with a story that I really,
00:01:14.580
really want to get to about an Oklahoma University student who was flunked on a paper by a trans
00:01:20.660
professor because she quoted the Bible. We'll get to that because I think everyone's getting that
00:01:24.640
story wrong. First, though, I want to tell you about Birch Gold. Text Knowles to 989898.
00:01:30.560
This episode is sponsored by Birch Gold Group. Our first advertiser at The Daily Wire was Birch
00:01:35.600
Gold Group. In that time, we've helped thousands of Daily Wire listeners diversify into physical gold.
00:01:40.100
Talk about peace of mind, especially when you see gold up over 50% this year. You know I'm a little
00:01:45.020
bit of a gold bug myself, and I'm happy about it. Let's say that. In all that time, the most
00:01:53.100
successful promotion we've ever run with Birch Gold was the 24-karat gold-plated truth bomb,
00:01:57.140
our version of a bunker buster on leftist ideology. Well, we happen to have an extremely
00:02:02.640
limited amount in cold storage. Right now, until they're gone, with qualifying purchase from Birch
00:02:07.300
Gold, you can own a Daily Wire golden truth bomb. Let Birch Gold help you convert an existing IRA or
00:02:12.040
401k into a tax-sheltered IRA and gold. And if your purchase qualifies, they will send you a golden
00:02:16.720
truth bomb. With rate cuts from the Fed, in 2026, the dollar will be worthless. And what happens if the
00:02:22.440
AI bubble bursts diversify? That's what. Just text my name, Knowles, K-N-A-W-L-E-S, to 98-98-98.
00:02:29.560
Claim your eligibility before December 22nd. Do not wait. Text Knowles, K-N-A-W-L-E-S, to the number
00:02:35.480
98-98-98 today, because Birch Gold will run out of the golden truth bomb. Text Knowles, K-N-A-W-L-E-S,
00:02:42.280
to 98-98-98. The dual citizenship question. The dual citizenship question finally making it to the
00:02:50.280
U.S. Senate. And I think it's a simple issue, really. I think it's totally obvious, and there
00:02:55.900
really should be no controversy at all. Before that, though, Maya Hawke. Maya Hawke, one of the
00:03:00.520
stars of Stranger Things. I think Stranger Things is out again. I don't know. I kind of lost interest
00:03:05.080
in Stranger Things. I watched the first season. I thought, this is campy and fun and fine and
00:03:09.920
whatever. And then, as with every Hollywood product, they had to make it political and gay.
00:03:16.400
And now, I think we're on season 72 or something like that. But it's out. It's one of the last few
00:03:23.280
kind of almost common cultural touch points. And so, just to put the final nail in the coffin,
00:03:30.540
that product, one of the stars of Stranger Things, goes on a late night show and explains how happy she
00:03:38.100
is, how grateful she is that her mother murdered her sibling. I'm on with this really beautiful essay.
00:03:46.380
about her abortion that she got when she was really young, and about how if she hadn't
00:03:52.160
have had it, she wouldn't have become the person that she'd become, and I wouldn't exist, and
00:03:55.640
how both of my parents' lives would have been totally derailed, and she hadn't had
00:03:58.700
access to safe and legal health care, fundamental health care. And I, of course, wealthy people
00:04:06.060
will always be able to get abortions. But so many people will not only not be able to pursue
00:04:11.740
their dreams, but actually lose their lives and be unsafe.
00:04:16.300
This is Uma Thurman's kid. So Uma Thurman's the mom, Ethan Hawke's the father.
00:04:20.700
And she goes on the show, and people are pilloring her for this. This has gone insanely viral. And
00:04:26.360
they're pilloring her because, on the surface, this is just such a ghastly, horrible thing to say.
00:04:33.000
Hey, I'm so happy that my sibling was murdered by my mom because then I was allowed to exist.
00:04:40.660
And how could I possibly have existed if my mom didn't murder my sibling? It's not like you can
00:04:46.300
have more than one kid, right? No, you can only have one kid. And so I'm so, so happy that my
00:04:51.340
sibling's dead so that I can live. And even more important than that, my mom wouldn't have been
00:04:57.220
able to play pretend on camera had she not murdered my sibling, right? You can't play pretend on camera.
00:05:02.520
If you don't murder your kids, if you don't sacrifice your children to Baal or Moloch,
00:05:07.760
you can't, how could you possibly put on makeup and play pretend on camera? It's not possible.
00:05:12.860
And so that's obviously worth it too. Obviously. I mean, have your child or at the very least not
00:05:21.460
murder your child or play pretend. That's not a difficult question, right? Obviously playing
00:05:28.780
pretend it's much more important. People are pillorying Maya Hawke for this. And I think it's
00:05:34.900
actually unfair because I can see exactly what she's doing here. Everyone thinks this reaction
00:05:41.020
to knowing about the abortion that her mother performed on her sibling, that they all think
00:05:47.900
this makes Maya Hawke evil, but it's not. This reaction does not express something evil about
00:05:54.000
Maya Hawke. I think it actually expresses something good about her. And the good thing it's expressing
00:05:58.980
is she's trying to defend her parents. You see this a lot with the kids of divorced parents,
00:06:04.340
which for millennials and zoomers is like every kid basically, not to make light of it, but it's
00:06:09.580
divorce has become very, very widespread. And you'll notice that the kids of divorce,
00:06:14.140
most of the time, desperately try to defend the divorce on the grounds that, well, my parents
00:06:21.560
were happier and it would be sad if they were stuck in an unhappy marriage. And so it was really good,
00:06:25.980
actually. I think it was really good, and they did the right thing. And it's actually the same
00:06:30.060
thing that you see from the kids of same-sex couples. You'll notice that when you ask kids of
00:06:36.660
same-sex couples, do you support same-sex marriage, quote unquote, largely they will say,
00:06:42.060
yes, oh, it's great. No, it's wonderful. But when you start to dig in a little bit
00:06:46.060
and you get anonymous responses or private responses, a lot of them say, no, it was actually
00:06:52.660
hard. I wish I had a mom, or I wish I had a dad, or it's really confusing. And I don't, you know,
00:06:57.680
I lacked something, I long for something, and you get the reality of it. And so what this tells you is
00:07:04.040
kids have a good instinct to defend their parents in everything, to make their parents happy,
00:07:10.540
to not make their parents angry, and to try to defend them. Because they love their parents,
00:07:14.620
and that's a really good thing. Growing up means that you need to be able to do both of those
00:07:22.400
things. You need to be able to love your parents, and you need to be able to admit that all of our
00:07:29.440
parents do things that are wrong, because all of us do things that are wrong, because this is a fallen
00:07:32.980
world. And one of the traps, one of the scandals, is when you allow for, in your own personal life,
00:07:40.060
in the life of your family, in the life of your whole political community, one of the real scandals,
00:07:44.380
one of the real stumbling blocks, one of the tricks of the devil, is to say, okay, you have
00:07:49.140
committed a sin, and now you can never admit it. You can never admit it, because that would be
00:07:55.960
to acknowledge that you have some evil in you. That would be to call your parents evil, to call
00:08:02.220
your, I don't know, your community evil. So you can't ever admit it. You just have to deny till
00:08:07.100
you die, baby. You got to stick with the story. But no, the healthy response is to say, no, no,
00:08:14.900
we love, we have a proper love of ourselves, so we don't hate ourselves because we sin.
00:08:20.120
We love our parents, obviously for many reasons. We love our communities, and the truth exists,
00:08:28.060
and sin is wrong, and abortion's always wrong. And you know, mommy who killed my sibling,
00:08:34.120
mommy was wrong to do that. And she might have had all sorts of reasons, but she did something
00:08:39.100
wrong. And I still love her, but she did something wrong. And it obviously wasn't worth it.
00:08:47.500
There's this meme that's been going around. It's heartbreaking, brutal, and it's why it's right.
00:08:53.400
And it's this meme of a little drawing, almost like a little kid's drawing of an actress, looks
00:08:58.500
like Uma Thurman, actually, who's receiving some golden award. And then there's a baby up in a cloud
00:09:04.380
in heaven saying, was it worth it, mommy? And the answer is, of course, obviously not.
00:09:11.640
Winning an Oscar is not worth killing your kid. Nothing in this world is worth killing your kid.
00:09:17.360
To take it actually one step further, nothing in this world is worth committing a mortal sin.
00:09:23.340
Because, well, I'm not the first to observe it. What does it profit a man to gain the whole world,
00:09:33.040
but to lose his soul? Ultimately, we are here for a relatively short period of time. And then we go
00:09:38.140
take a dirt nap, turn to worm food, you know, we shuffle off this mortal coil. But because we have
00:09:43.460
rational souls, we are also eternal creatures. And the amount that we're walking on earth is relatively
00:09:51.220
small relative to eternity. And so what's it all for? You know, what's the point? Why do you wake
00:09:57.580
up in the morning and do your job? Whether your job is to be a Hollywood actress or your job is to
00:10:02.020
be a construction worker or your job is to be an electrician or your job is to do spreadsheets at
00:10:05.980
the widget factory? What is the point of it? Is the point to make money? Not really, because money is
00:10:10.700
just stuff and stuff corrupts and corrodes and goes away. No, you say, well, it's to make money so that I
00:10:15.660
can buy stuff so that I can feed my family, so that I can keep a roof over my head, so that I can buy a
00:10:21.740
car to drive my kids to school, whatever it is. Okay, what's all that for? What's it all ultimately
00:10:26.640
for when all of those things are going to pass away? The only thing that it can ultimately be for
00:10:31.220
is something eternal. And ultimately, all of it is for the glory of God. And that's not just like
00:10:36.700
Bible thumping, sentimental, nice, soft soap stuff. That is the only conclusion that one can reach
00:10:42.600
if one applies one's reasons to the facts of life. And so it's obviously not worth it.
00:10:48.980
And this girl is mistaken every step of the way. You don't need to kill one child to have another
00:10:53.220
child. You don't need to kill your kid to have a career. You don't need to kill your kid to play
00:10:59.660
pretend on camera. It would not be worth it even if those things were true. And so this girl, she goes
00:11:07.240
viral. And we do this all the time. We just keep digging ourselves deeper and deeper and deeper.
00:11:10.800
You see this at the political level. We have to go through all of these twists and turns of logic
00:11:16.320
to try to defend bizarre aspects of the law, bizarre policies, and to try to make them seem like
00:11:23.500
they're constitutional. Because we just keep making all these mistakes. We have to double down
00:11:30.000
to use the example we're talking about, Roe v. Wade. Roe v. Wade was a ridiculous Supreme Court decision
00:11:35.320
that invented out of whole cloth a license to kill babies in the Constitution. It's not there.
00:11:40.240
It was never there at all. When the federal law addressed abortion at all for most of our nation's
00:11:45.320
history, it outlawed it. But because in 1973, these judges pretended that there was a license to
00:11:51.440
abortion, then they had to come up with all of these other ridiculous reasonings, substantive due
00:11:56.800
process, and the right to privacy, and the right to define our own concept of existence, the sweet
00:12:02.360
mystery of life passage from Planned Parenthood v. Casey, the care of the romantic poet Justice
00:12:07.800
Kennedy. And you don't have to do that. You don't have to do that. You can just say,
00:12:14.660
yeah, we want women to feel that they have an appropriate control of their bodies,
00:12:19.040
and you can't kill kids. Yeah, we love ourselves and our parents and our country, but we acknowledge
00:12:24.740
that we do things that are wrong sometimes. You can do that. You don't. Maya Hawke, there is a better
00:12:29.500
way. There is a better way. Okay, speaking of kids and bizarre ideologies, I am so dead set on getting
00:12:38.720
to this story about a young Christian student at an Oklahoma university who wrote a paper for a
00:12:45.820
trans professor, and she cited the Bible, and she got zero points on the paper. And the libs are
00:12:52.940
mocking her, the conservatives are mocking this girl, and everyone's getting it wrong. We'll get to
00:12:56.500
that momentarily. First, I want to tell you about Brickhouse Nutrition. Go to brickhousesale.com.

00:14:55.740
is a student named Samantha Fulnecki. Nice, cute, normal-looking, apparently conservative Christian
00:15:03.840
girl. She's taken a class from a trans-identifying professor, Mel Curtis, who looks like you would
00:15:10.440
expect him to look. Let's put it that way. You can see there's a little, in the professor's comment,
00:15:14.720
you can see he looks like he should not be teaching at university. He looks like he should be in a padded
00:15:19.820
cell. Why did this young woman decide to take this guy's class? I have no idea, but I don't know. These
00:15:26.660
days at universities, maybe there's not much choice. In any case, she was asked to respond to an article
00:15:33.700
and to give her opinion, her reaction to the article. She did that. It was an article about
00:15:41.740
gender identity, and she said, yeah, I'm not really persuaded by this stuff about gender identity,
00:15:45.460
and here's why. Here's what I think about gender identity, and she cites the Bible.
00:15:49.020
And the professor loses it, goes off. The professor says to call an entire group of people
00:15:56.000
demonic is highly offensive, especially a minoritized population. How did this professor
00:16:03.640
graduate from the third grade, much less become a university professor? Minoritized? What is
00:16:08.340
minoritized? This is what the professor wrote on the grading platform. Now, the liberals are saying,
00:16:14.040
this girl's a big dummy, and she's just a hillbilly citing the Bible, and she shouldn't have gotten any
00:16:18.560
points on this because you're not allowed to cite the Bible on scientific papers, and she doesn't
00:16:22.640
know anything, and she deserved her grade. Then you have the fancy pants conservatives who are saying,
00:16:27.620
well, actually, I read the paper, and it's not very well written. So it's like, why are we defending
00:16:33.960
this girl? It's like, she needs to write a little bit better, okay? And they're both totally wrong.
00:16:38.620
So I have here, very briefly, we're just going to look, I have the essay, I have this trans
00:16:46.760
identifying professor's grades, and I have the prompt. Here's the prompt.
00:16:55.800
Reaction papers are graded on a 25-point scale, evaluated on the basis of the following. Does the
00:17:00.320
paper show a clear tie-in to the assigned article? 10 points. Does the paper present a thoughtful reaction
00:17:04.980
or response to the article rather than a summary? Is the paper clearly written? That's it. Those are
00:17:09.220
the three things. This is not like you're writing a dissertation from the University of Oxford. Okay,
00:17:15.160
this is a very basic thing. Read a paper, react to it, be on topic, talk about the topic that the
00:17:21.240
paper talks about, but give your personal reaction. Don't just summarize it, give a reaction. Bring
00:17:26.480
something into the article and write it clearly. And here is the paper that the left and the fancy
00:17:34.940
pantses on the right are making fun of. The article was very thought-provoking and caused me to thoroughly
00:17:40.260
evaluate the idea of gender and the role it plays in our society. The article discussed peers using
00:17:44.260
teasing as a way to enforce gender norms. I do not necessarily see this as a problem.
00:17:49.120
Awesome. Love that. It's great. Not cruel teasing, but just a little bit. It's okay.
00:17:52.300
God made male and female and made us differently from each other on purpose and for a purpose.
00:17:57.080
God is very intentional with what he makes, and I believe trying to change that would only do more
00:18:01.220
harm. Gender roles and tendencies should not be considered stereotypes. Women naturally want to do
00:18:06.700
womanly things because God created us with those womanly desires in our hearts. The same goes for men.
00:18:11.320
God created men in the image of his courage and strength, and he created women in the image of
00:18:15.580
his beauty. He intentionally created women differently than men, and we should live our lives with that in
00:18:20.480
mind. It is frustrating to me when I read articles like this and discussion posts from my classmates
00:18:24.180
of so many people trying to conform to the same mundane opinion so they do not step on people's
00:18:29.080
toes. But pause here. I just want to point out, I'm not saying that this quick little response to an
00:18:34.160
article is Anna Karenina, okay? I'm not saying it's the most soaring prose ever written. I have read a lot of
00:18:40.000
college and even graduate student papers and these kinds of responses over the years.
00:18:45.840
This is the bard compared to the prose stylings of what most people are writing.
00:18:55.140
Okay, yes, I agree. 50 or 100 years ago, these standards for writing in universities probably
00:19:03.000
would have been higher than all of these things. Relative to what most university students are
00:19:07.500
turning in, this is quite well written. It uses the word mundane, let's say. It uses generally,
00:19:13.860
with some exceptions, an economy of words. It goes on. I think that is cowardly and insincere way to
00:19:18.360
live. It's important to use the freedom of speech we've been given in this country, and I personally
00:19:21.900
believe that eliminating gender in our society would be detrimental as it pulls us farther from God's
00:19:26.460
original plans for humans. They say, you can't cite the Bible. Why not? Well, it's a psychology class.
00:19:36.020
Hear me, hear me. The Bible is, whether you believe in God, whether you're a Christian,
00:19:41.740
whether you're Jewish, whether you're none of those things. The Bible is, I think beyond dispute,
00:19:48.340
the best account of human psychology that we have. It is better than ancient or modern works
00:19:56.300
of philosophy. It is certainly better than any works of psychology. Psychology, which only really
00:20:01.460
becomes a discipline in the last 150 years or so with the work of William James, who himself was a
00:20:06.200
philosopher. And then, obviously, it's greatly expanded by Freud and plenty of psychologists
00:20:11.560
and philosophers since then. The Bible is a much better work of psychology than all of that. It's
00:20:16.500
obviously pertinent. The Bible begins in its very first chapters with a discussion of this topic,
00:20:21.900
which is pertinent to the modern nonsense that the person's responding to. And here's the trans
00:20:25.920
professor's comment. Please note, I'm not deducting points because you have certain beliefs,
00:20:29.340
but instead I'm deducting points for you posting a reaction, also not grammatical,
00:20:34.620
paper that does not answer the questions for this assignment, contradicts itself, heavily uses
00:20:38.400
personal ideology over empirical evidence. Personal ideology over empirical evidence. This is a dude
00:20:43.600
who thinks he's a woman and dresses up like a woman and says in the comment that his pronouns are
00:20:48.500
she slash they. But you used your personal ideology instead of, I encourage all students to question
00:20:56.320
your challenge course material with other empirical findings or testable hypotheses. But using your
00:21:00.260
own personal beliefs to argue against the findings of not only this article, but the findings of
00:21:03.980
countless articles across psychology, biology, sociology, etc. is not best practice. Yeah, don't
00:21:08.860
inject your personal baseless beliefs into science, said the she they. Ridiculous, ridiculous. I've read
00:21:17.420
enough of Samantha's essay to say not only should she not have been given zero out of 25, she should
00:21:24.340
have been given a full score. 25 out of 25. Okay, this is totally preposterous. And the fancy pantses
00:21:32.440
who want to pretend that they're so much better educated than this girl are absolutely out of
00:21:37.480
their minds. Absolutely out of their minds. I strongly suspect that this girl had the best reaction
00:21:43.980
posed of anyone in her class. It is far above the average writing that you get out of universities.
00:21:50.380
And this professor, the trans thing, should be fired, should never have gotten a job in the first place.
00:21:57.600
It's absurd. And so the university says they're looking into this. TPUSA has come out, or at least
00:22:03.520
the TPUSA chapter, perhaps the national organization. I haven't looked into it. They've come out and
00:22:07.300
backed the student. They absolutely should. And the fancy pants conservatives who want to pretend like
00:22:11.080
this isn't the greatest pros or whatever. I guess it isn't the greatest pros. But relatively, it's quite
00:22:16.880
good, and they need to get off their high horse, and they need to get over it. They need to recognize
00:22:19.820
that this girl has a lot more to say, even than many, I don't know, professional prognosticators
00:22:25.400
and pundits, even on the right. Ridiculous. And just to bring it full circle on the politics,
00:22:31.800
while we happily have political power given to us by the people through elections, we need to
00:22:39.060
eradicate the presence of this kind of preposterous pseudo-academic, pseudo-scholar,
00:22:47.100
Mel Kurth, or whatever, from faculty lounges across the universities. This person can go get a job
00:22:53.760
somewhere else. I hope he lives a good, nice life. But he has no business at a university. This girl
00:22:58.700
should be totally vindicated. The professor should be punished and fired. And the girl should be given
00:23:03.840
full credit. Totally absurd. Totally absurd. I lament the decline of standards in the university
00:23:10.760
as much as the next guy. The decline of standards is on the part of the faculty here, not on the part
00:23:14.740
of the student. Okay. We'll get to the problems of the universities, because apparently college
00:23:19.260
students can't do basic math. We'll get to that in a second. And then a very, very important race
00:23:22.660
could tell us a lot about the midterms that's happening right now in my town. First, though,
00:23:25.960
I want to tell you about Lumen. Go to lumen.me slash Knowles. This episode is sponsored by Lumen.
00:23:30.980
You know what I've realized? A lot of things. A lot of things over the years. One thing I've
00:23:34.580
noticed is when your metabolism is working the way it should, you feel it everywhere. More energy,
00:23:39.060
better sleep, the whole deal. That is one of the many reasons to use Lumen. I love Lumen. I have
00:23:43.920
Lumen actually in the drawer of my desk at the office. It is the world's first handheld metabolic
00:23:49.480
coach. Very, very simple. When you breathe into it first thing in the morning, or when you get to
00:23:53.640
the office, if you prefer it that way, it tells you whether your body's burning fat or carbs for fuel.
00:23:57.420
Then it gives you a personalized nutrition plan for the day based on what is actually happening
00:24:00.900
in your body. Not some generic diet plan, but recommendations tailored to your real-time
00:24:05.580
metabolic state. It's very cool. I'm skeptical of all technology, but when it works, it works.
00:24:09.900
And especially when it's simple, I love it. You can use it before and after workouts if working out
00:24:14.720
is your kind of thing. It is like having a coach that helps you understand your body's engine and
00:24:18.520
how to fuel it properly, not just for weight management, but for better energy, fitness results,
00:24:22.280
sleep too. Instead of guessing or following trends, use those actual data. I love Lumen. I've had
00:24:28.220
my Lumen for years at this point. Winter is the perfect season to build strength from within,
00:24:33.040
stay energized, stay resilient, take charge of your metabolism. Go to lumen.me slash Knowles,

00:24:49.640
A top-rated public university says many of its students can't round numbers or add fractions.
00:24:53.980
Yes, duh, of course, we should all understand this. Harvard, which is supposed to be the number
00:24:59.840
one university in the country, it's not really, but it's supposed to be. Harvard, several years ago
00:25:06.420
now, had to institute a remedial math course for freshmen because the freshmen couldn't do basic
00:25:12.380
algebra. At Harvard, it's the first university, first college in America and supposed to be the
00:25:20.040
most prestigious. So yeah, I bet all the other colleges have kids who can't do math too.
00:25:26.940
What is to be done about this? This is referring to the University of California, San Diego,
00:25:33.800
ranked sixth nationally among public schools by U.S. News and World Report. Roughly one in eight
00:25:39.140
freshmen lack rudimentary high school math skills defined as geometry, algebra, and algebra two.
00:25:44.960
Students have been placed in remedial high school math classes in 2023, had roughly fifth grade level
00:25:49.240
abilities. Only 39% could correctly round the number, 374,518 to the nearest hundred, a third
00:25:56.800
grade skill. Yeah, yeah, yeah, I'm not surprised. Not surprised at all. Why is this? This is because
00:26:03.380
we told everyone that they had to go to college. This is because we told everyone that they could go to
00:26:08.340
college, that they were suited for college. This is because the government forced colleges to admit
00:26:13.620
people who were not suited for college. And this is because the government subsidized all of those
00:26:19.460
colleges. And now students come out with hundreds of thousands of dollars in debt, and it's a terrible
00:26:22.780
cycle. And it's because we've established our country on supposedly meritocratic grounds. But then
00:26:29.840
in a democracy, that doesn't really work because everyone wants to be number one. And so it just levels
00:26:33.860
down everything in a Harrison Bergeron kind of dystopian way. So we're all a bunch of babbling idiots.
00:26:38.480
And on top of that, it's because not only do we all have calculators and smartphones,
00:26:44.200
now we all have AI. So you never have to do any work at all. At least that's the theory.
00:26:52.100
Many, many factors have contributed to this. However, there's a silver lining.
00:26:56.340
Because when I was a student, I remember I was told in math class, hey, don't use your calculator to
00:27:01.980
do the problem set or whatever, because you're not always going to have a calculator on you in the real
00:27:06.540
world. But of course we do. We always have calculators on us all the time. And pretty
00:27:10.620
soon we're going to have chips in our head that are going to turn our retinas into calculators.
00:27:14.720
So you do have a calculator all the time, and you do have chat GPT at your fingertips all the time.
00:27:19.540
So what's the purpose of education? That's what we have to come down to. Is it to get passed up to
00:27:28.560
the next grade so we can get a diploma so that we can go to college? Because we all have to go to
00:27:32.480
college. Because when I graduated school, 70% of kids went to college. And that's happily declined
00:27:37.900
a little bit since then. But is it so we can go to college so that we can also not learn anything
00:27:42.880
so that we can get a job, so that we can make money, so that we can so, so, so, so what?
00:27:49.240
The problem here is, if you rely on calculators or now AI to do everything for you,
00:27:56.900
eventually you have to know what to put into the calculator. You have to know what to put into AI.
00:28:02.120
You have to be able to understand what question is even being asked. You have to
00:28:07.540
contribute something, or you end up worshiping a dumb idol like the Psalms warn us against.
00:28:15.240
So what is education for? It is not, as I've been yelling from the rooftop for years,
00:28:22.500
over the contrary calls of my fellow conservatives. The purpose of education is not primarily to get a
00:28:27.960
job. The purpose of education is not because that's just the thing you have to do. A greater
00:28:35.080
purpose of education is to form good citizens, but that's not even the chief purpose. The purpose of
00:28:39.860
education ultimately is to know and give glory to God. That's funny. It's kind of like the same answer
00:28:47.300
that gave to God. But that's also not just soft soap sentiment and Bible thumping. That is ultimately
00:28:52.780
what it is about. It is so that you can become acquainted with the truth, not just so that you
00:29:01.980
can cram your head full of facts, but because we live in a reality that has objectivity to it.
00:29:08.800
And so all that is for us to do is to recognize that reality and to correspond with it. And that
00:29:17.040
reality comes from somewhere. And ultimately, what we're after is not just to make money. It's not
00:29:24.740
just to pass a test. It's not just to get a job. It's not just to do this, that. It's not just to
00:29:28.060
become a Hollywood actress. Ultimately, we have to be after something eternal. So there needs to be a
00:29:34.520
delight in learning, not even learning for its own sake, learning for the sake of coming to know and
00:29:43.320
glorify truth, goodness, and beauty, which are ultimately found in their very subsistence in God.
00:29:57.300
That's what it's for. This is why St. John Henry Newman, doctor of the church,
00:30:01.540
points out that a university that doesn't teach theology is a joke. It's incoherent because it
00:30:08.880
purports to universal knowledge, but it ignores the thing that makes knowledge universal and have
00:30:13.900
some kind of coherence with it, with itself. That's what it's for. And so it's amazing because
00:30:20.680
some of the conservatives, they're starting to catch up. They realize, you know, these universities
00:30:24.140
aren't really achieving their purpose anymore. But even the conservatives don't know what the
00:30:27.500
purpose is, or they're not willing to admit what the purpose is. They're not willing to take it all
00:30:30.560
the way. They're still stuck at, the purpose is to get a good job. Yeah, we all need to eat, man.
00:30:35.900
I agree. But that's not, the purpose is to make good citizens, kind of. The purpose is to make sense
00:30:43.720
of our freedom and our leisure time. Yeah, that's a lot closer. What's it for? It's got to be for
00:30:49.460
something. Or what's going to happen, if you don't acknowledge that, if you think I'm just some kind
00:30:55.160
of like backwards Bible thumper or something like that, if you say it's for all those other
00:30:59.240
ancillary, secondary things, this is what you're going to end up with. You're going to end up with
00:31:05.200
university kids at supposedly top-ranked schools who can't do basic geometry and algebra.
00:31:10.500
Because the university will not make sense anymore. That's fine. And wait, great. I, for one,
00:31:18.340
welcome our AI overlords. I love it. Because it's going to clarify a lot of things.
00:31:22.140
And it's going to separate the wheat from the chaff. Not just even among people,
00:31:27.940
but among ideas, among institutions. It's going to clarify a lot.
00:31:32.320
Speaking of rough math, there's a race. There's an election today. If you're in Tennessee's
00:31:38.200
seventh congressional district, right around Nashville, I've talked about this race a number
00:31:41.820
of times. But you have to go vote today. Because the race is between Matt Van Epps, a Republican,
00:31:48.460
and Afton Bain, who is a lunatic, a cartoonish villain, who's running as a Democrat on the
00:31:55.600
platform that she hates Nashville, hates country music, hates the people in Nashville, hates
00:32:00.220
Tennessee, is as radically leftist as it comes. This is supposed to be a major Republican district.
00:32:06.800
There's a Republican congressman who's retiring. We're going to see who replaces that person.
00:32:10.320
This should be a runaway race. And yet, the polling today, Matt Van Epps, 48, Republican,
00:32:17.080
Democrat, Afton Bain, 46. It's a two-point race. Margin of error is almost four points.
00:32:24.020
It's a dead heat. Dead heat. I don't, you know, sometimes congressional district polling is not as
00:32:30.860
good as other polling. And it's an off year. It's not even in a midterm year. It's off of a midterm
00:32:36.340
year. And if the Democrat wins this race, we're going to have to start preparing for a bloodbath
00:32:45.740
in the midterms. First, what's going to happen is, if the Democrat wins this race, then you're going
00:32:50.820
to see even more members of Congress start to retire or resign, a la Marjorie Taylor Greene,
00:32:56.020
because they're going to see the writing on the wall in either their own races or the fact that
00:33:00.280
the Republicans are going to lose the majority. And then they're going to be in the minority after
00:33:04.780
the midterms. And it's going to be miserable. And the Democrats are going to subpoena everyone
00:33:08.120
and try to, they're going to impeach Trump. And it's going to be a bloodbath.
00:33:14.060
They, this is getting real guys. This is starting to really get real. So
00:33:18.620
there are going to be all sorts of excuses after the, after the election. If the Democrat wins,
00:33:23.640
ah, it's an off year. Ah, we didn't have a good grand game. Ah, the Republican didn't campaign
00:33:28.260
Well, this is a real, this is a bigger bellwether, I think, than the Momdani election in New York,
00:33:36.360
than New Jersey, than the Democrats in Virginia. This is a, this is a big one. If you're in Tennessee
00:33:40.540
seven, get out to vote, get out to vote, please. And then we'll see what we'll be and we'll race
00:33:45.840
ourselves. Okay. Now, speaking of Congress, really important story. Bernie Moreno, a Republican
00:33:52.280
senator, great Republican senator, new Republican senator, Bernie Moreno has just come out
00:33:57.200
and proposed ending dual citizenship. Big issue.
00:34:04.620
A big issue that pertains to a lot of fights in the GOP right now over foreign policy,
00:34:09.320
I guess in part over Israel, which has become one of these flashpoints,
00:34:12.540
in part over immigration, in part over Latin America, in part over all these things.
00:34:17.300
Bernie Moreno comes out and he says, hey, it's kind of crazy that people have dual citizenship.
00:34:21.960
Isn't it? I think we need to get rid of that. And there is going to be, talk about just bloodbath,
00:34:29.340
vicious intraparty fighting. There's going to be a major fight within the Republican party over this
00:34:33.680
issue. If it gets, if the issue is able to rise to the level of getting traction, as I think it
00:34:39.120
should, because Bernie Moreno is completely right. Dual citizenship is preposterous. Given what
00:34:46.160
citizenship means, we'll get to that in a second. First, I want to tell you about Shopify. Go to

00:36:19.340
Drummer's Workshop Norm's Music. Wow, of course. Oh, you know what? I actually didn't even pick it
00:36:22.660
yet. I didn't pick the comment, so the producers picked it. We're going to see if this is right.
00:36:26.820
Drummer's Workshop Norm's Music is usually pretty good. Wajahat Ali is the type of guy to eat an
00:36:31.920
entire meal at a restaurant and ask for his money back because he thought it was too salty.
00:36:36.580
Hmm. That's true. That's true. I'd like to see the other comments. It didn't.
00:36:41.000
Drummer's Workshop Norm's Music, he's got a lot of hits, but I don't know. I want to see the other
00:36:45.420
comments. Bernie Moreno says we got to get rid of dual citizenship. Bernie Moreno was a citizen
00:36:53.220
of another country. He writes, one of the greatest honors of my life was when I became an American
00:36:58.580
citizen at 18, the first opportunity I could do so. It was an honor to pledge an oath of allegiance
00:37:04.180
to the United States of America and only to the United States of America. Being an American
00:37:08.460
citizen is an honor and a privilege. And if you want to be an American, it's all or nothing. It's
00:37:11.940
time to end dual citizenship for good. Totally right. I don't see any controversy on this.
00:37:16.980
We should not have dual citizens. Dual citizenship is absurd. It's incoherent. It's contrary to the
00:37:25.040
nature of citizenship. Citizenship is an expression of loyalty you have to a nation.
00:37:37.340
You cannot simultaneously be loyal to two nations. You cannot simultaneously be the same thing with
00:37:46.140
respect to two things of the same kind, but more generally. I could be loyal to McDonald's and to
00:37:54.980
America and to the New York Yankees. I can be loyal to all of those things because there are different
00:37:59.660
kinds of things, a restaurant, a country, and a baseball team. But I can't simultaneously be loyal
00:38:06.440
to the New York Yankees and the Boston Red Sox or even the New York Yankees and the Chicago Cubs.
00:38:11.680
They don't even have to be direct rivals. They just, you can't simultaneously be loyal to both
00:38:18.220
things. You can't simultaneously be loyal to two countries. It's ridiculous. And the idea of dual
00:38:25.940
citizenship in America is quite recent. It really comes from this case, Afraim versus Rusk, 1967.
00:38:32.780
Anything that started in the mid-60s has a 99.73299% chance of being bad because pretty much
00:38:40.900
everything's gotten worse since the 60s. So what was the case? The US government tried to take
00:38:45.080
citizenship away from a guy named Bez Afraim, who is a Polish Jew who voted in an Israeli election.
00:38:50.720
So Polish becomes an American citizen. Israel, the state of Israel is relatively new at this point,
00:38:56.700
votes in the Israeli election. US government says, well, hold on, you can't, what are we doing?
00:39:00.080
Are you Polish? Are you American? Are you Israeli? We can't, you're not an American citizen anymore.
00:39:05.720
You were, I guess you were naturalized, but you're not going to have that anymore.
00:39:08.260
There was, the court came in and overturned that. The court said in 1967, when the court was saying
00:39:14.500
a lot of dumb things, said citizenship must be given up accidentally, sorry, must be given up
00:39:19.520
voluntarily. That decision overruled a decision not that much earlier, which was Perez versus Brownell
00:39:27.040
in 1958, which said that Congress can revoke citizenship for certain reasons, which is obviously
00:39:32.780
true. The decision to uphold dual citizenship was further affirmed in Vance v. Tarasas in 1980. So
00:39:40.920
it's pretty recent. And then it was in the Carter administration. Jimmy Carter abandoned the
00:39:46.100
Bancroft treaties, the Bancroft treaties in which the US government said you can't have dual citizenship.
00:39:51.320
This issue, though, actually goes way back. This goes back to 1874. U.S. Grant, President U.S. Grant,
00:39:58.960
in his message to Congress, lamented that there were people, quote, claiming the benefit of
00:40:04.420
citizenship while living in a foreign country, contributing in no manner to the performance
00:40:07.980
of the duties of a citizen of the United States, and without intention at any time to return and
00:40:11.840
undertake those duties to use the claims of citizenship of the United States simply as a
00:40:15.460
shield from the performance of the obligations of a citizen elsewhere. Yeah, that's great.
00:40:19.360
So there he was talking about the Irish. Here, the citizenship question is really,
00:40:23.760
really pertinent because of the mass migration from Latin America. But it's true just generally
00:40:27.420
all around the world. There are plenty of people who have dual citizenship. Even half of my people,
00:40:33.780
the Italians, they'll do this. They'll say, oh, my grandma, great-grandma was from Italy,
00:40:36.880
and so I got dual citizenship. Isn't that cool? Now, someday, I could buy a house in Italy that I'll
00:40:41.260
never afford and never actually buy. But yeah, now, isn't that cool? It's like Pokemon cards to them.
00:40:45.680
Oh, I got a citizenship from Portugal. Oh, I got citizenship in the U.S.
00:40:49.360
It's actually hard in the U.K. Oh, I got, and they're collecting them.
00:40:52.620
Like, it's all special. Or really, what people want is the U.S. citizenship because it gives
00:40:55.760
you so many privileges. But it's ridiculous. It is of a relatively recent vintage. It generally
00:41:04.340
hasn't worked out very well. It's undermined national identity and actual loyalty to the
00:41:09.460
United States, which is at historic lows. And it's totally incoherent. Bernie Moreno's totally right.
00:41:15.320
I don't want to see Republicans opposing this. This is basic stuff, guys.
00:41:21.280
You know, they always say, conservatives are just conserving the liberalism of five minutes ago.
00:41:24.660
Yeah, well, if you oppose Bernie Moreno on this, you're basically conserving the liberalism of the
00:41:31.480
1960s and 80s. I'm a conservative. I conserved the liberalism of the 1980s. Give me a break. Come on.
00:41:38.500
This is simple. Now, speaking of citizenship questions, this was a delicious little treat.
00:41:45.140
And a lot of people missed it because it happened last week.
00:41:50.080
Democrats have just said the quiet part out loud on the illegal aliens in this country. Do you
00:41:55.480
remember? Do you remember that Democrats have said over that whole government shutdown fight,
00:42:00.540
they said, illegals do not receive federal benefits. Illegals do not receive. They don't.
00:42:07.580
They don't get welfare. You Republicans, you're accusing us of shutting down the government to
00:42:10.780
give welfare to illegals. They don't. They cannot get welfare. Here is a Democrat representative
00:42:16.320
Pramila Jayapal just accidentally oopsie daisy admitting the truth.
00:42:21.280
Yesterday, I was at a food bank in my district talking about the snap cuts, the horrible snap cuts
00:42:26.620
and Medicaid cuts. And they told me that people are not even showing up to Head Start where they get
00:42:34.360
their food. They're not showing up to the food banks because they're afraid. And it's not just
00:42:40.020
undocumented immigrants. It is people of all legal statuses. It's undocumented immigrants who have
00:42:48.200
Hold on. She almost could have gotten away with it. She goes, yeah, people aren't even showing up to the
00:42:52.780
welfare lines anymore. You know, I mean, and it's not just undocumented. And she stopped there.
00:42:58.720
She could have given herself a leeway to say, no, they don't. They don't show up. It's not. It's
00:43:01.800
the because it's people of all legal statuses. It's undocumented. It's undocumented people.
00:43:06.120
It's illegal aliens who have been here for 20 years. Getting welfare. But hold on.
00:43:18.000
Federal law is that undocumented individuals do not have access to Medicare, Medicaid,
00:43:24.560
food stamps, even the Affordable Care Act. That's the law. So this is a red herring from my
00:43:31.900
Republican colleagues. That's the law. They don't get welfare. That's a red herring. They don't get
00:43:36.260
food stamps. That's the law. This is a red herring. Well, hey, Mark, you better talk to your colleague
00:43:40.700
in the house, Pramila Jayapal, because Pramila seems pretty convinced that the illegals do get foods
00:43:47.040
because they obviously do. And they do get health care subsidies and they get an insane amount of
00:43:51.520
taxpayer benefits. And frankly, I'm happy when they get their taxpayer relative. They shouldn't
00:43:57.040
be getting welfare benefits. But if they're going to get them, I'd rather they get food and health
00:44:00.920
care than what was going on with the Somalis up in Minnesota who are defrauding the taxpayer and
00:44:05.900
sending it over to Al-Shabaab. They get it and they've admitted it. Bookmark that. Bookmark this clip.
00:44:12.780
The next time when you're going to be at Christmas dinner, Thanksgiving's over, you're going to be at
00:44:17.040
Christmas dinner. You're a liberal. Your lesbian cousin is going to say, hey, no, they don't.
00:44:21.060
The illegals don't get welfare. Here you go. It's not. Don't take my word for it. It's Pramila
00:44:24.460
Jayapal. Stephen Miller, as usual, a man on a true, on a righteous jihad to end mass migration.
00:44:33.540
Deputy White House Chief of Staff, he put it pretty, pretty bluntly.
00:44:38.440
That's it for your audience. Perfectly, Sean. This was not a loophole. The Biden administration,
00:44:44.060
Secretary of Homeland Security, Alejandro Mayorkas, devised a scheme to fly illegal aliens into the
00:44:52.360
country and then to escort them in mass across the border by the millions and to give them something
00:44:57.740
known as parole, which gives them a work permit, which gives them a social security number,
00:45:03.820
which gives them access to the voting booth. This was the plan all along, to get them here illegally
00:45:09.480
so they can get free government benefits, get hooked to welfare and be able to participate
00:45:14.280
in American elections. This was an attack on democracy by the Democrat Party. It's the same
00:45:20.960
attack that we see, Sean, when you have California, a sanctuary state that is refusing to turn over
00:45:27.960
even illegal alien criminals and gang members to ICE. So these are illegal aliens in California
00:45:34.480
who have been arrested by California police, by California law enforcement.
00:45:39.780
That's it. That's what it's about. They bring them over here so they can get them hooked on all
00:45:42.900
the programs so that they can get them onto the voter rolls so that they can rig the elections.
00:45:46.660
That's it. And we know it. We got the goods on it now. We even have Democrats admitting it.
00:45:51.420
One last one we have to get to. It's brutal, brutal, though we all knew it. Most of us, I would say,
00:45:56.860
knew it, though very few people wanted to say it. The FDA has admitted for the first time
00:46:03.220
that the Fauci-ouchie, the COVID vaccine, killed kids, killed at least 10 American kids.
00:46:12.140
You don't need to take just the conservative word for it. NBC reports, FDA claims COVID shots killed
00:46:18.300
10 children, vows new vaccine rules. And then I love this. This is the subheadline. So FDA
00:46:23.600
says this is what happened. The Fauci-ouchie killed 10 kids at least. Subheader. Vaccine experts said the
00:46:31.700
memo was irresponsible and that it omits key details about how officials arrived at that
00:46:35.240
conclusion. Vaccine experts, you just quoted the FDA. Who's more expert than the FDA? Because
00:46:40.900
during all of COVID, what I was told is you had to listen to the FDA and the CDC about everything,
00:46:46.300
and the NIH about everything. You had to listen to them. They were the experts. They knew everything.
00:46:51.760
You knew nothing, even though you had eyes and ears and a functioning brain and you could see what
00:46:56.400
was happening before you. And even though all those supposed experts kept getting things wrong,
00:47:00.160
you were told you had to listen to them because they were the experts. They had the authority.
00:47:05.380
So now that President Trump has cleaned house over there, cleaned house much more so than he did in
00:47:11.440
the first term, because obviously the first term was largely before COVID. Now we're told, no, no,
00:47:16.840
don't listen to the FDA. The real, who are the experts? Who are the experts? It's a moving target
00:47:21.520
for the libs. The experts are whoever agrees with the libs. But what did the FDA say? Director of the
00:47:28.220
FDA's vaccine division told agency staff in a memo that an internal review found at least 10 children
00:47:33.580
died after and because of receiving the COVID vax. Vinay Prasad, director of the FDA's Center for
00:47:41.000
Biologics Evaluation Research, is the guy who wrote this memo. It's a 3,000-word memo. It wasn't like a
00:47:49.100
University of Oklahoma quick little response. It was a 3,000-word memo after an internal review
00:47:52.960
obtained by NBC News, said they determined no fewer than 10 of 96 child deaths reported to VAERS,
00:48:00.160
the Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System, between 2021 and 2024 were related to COVID vaccine.
00:48:05.580
The true numbers, he said, though, could be much higher because VAERS is a voluntary reporting
00:48:10.040
system. So the libs sees on that and they say, well, it's voluntary reporting. We don't really
00:48:13.540
know if it's true or not. No, no, we can know if it's true because then we can follow up and
00:48:16.600
investigate these claims. That's all point of VAERS. That's why it was established by Congress in the
00:48:20.100
first place. But second of all, to report something to VAERS requires a very, very motivated individual
00:48:25.640
because it's all voluntary and it's kind of complicated. So the reality is the vaccine
00:48:31.020
injuries reported to VAERS are not much larger than the actual number of vaccine injuries.
00:48:37.000
If anything, it would be much, much smaller. That's the problem. And it raises another question.
00:48:44.380
Okay, well, if VAERS is so unreliable, why don't you have a reliable way of reporting these things?
00:48:47.980
Because they don't want to have to deal with the legitimate vaccine injuries. That's obviously
00:48:52.940
what it's about. Experts who reviewed the memo say it is misusing information from VAERS,
00:48:57.120
an unverified reporting system that, hey, if it's so, if it's unverified, if it's so stupid,
00:49:01.560
then how come, how come that's the one that all the experts set up? Give me a better one.
00:49:06.280
Ah, you can't have a reliable system because then you have to be accountable.
00:49:12.460
The system's own website warrants that submissions can contain inaccurate,
00:49:15.600
incomplete or biased information. Yeah, yeah. Which is why there was an internal review,
00:49:19.520
which is why it was quite conservative in its findings and said that at least 10 of the 96
00:49:25.080
that were reported can be confirmed to be because of the COVID vaccine.
00:49:30.660
There is no evidence that would satisfy these people. You understand that. There's no,
00:49:35.280
it doesn't matter. The FDA said it. Well, no, nevermind that the FDA said it. They don't know
00:49:39.120
anything. It's, there's no evidence. There is no evidence that you could present
00:49:43.360
that would satisfy these people. They have, they are beginning with their conclusion
00:49:48.700
that the COVID vaccine is good. And it doesn't matter even when their own experts are forced
00:49:55.780
to change the story. They are, they are still going to stick by their defense of the COVID vaccine.
00:50:02.080
Fauci comes out, says, if you get the shot, you dumb, stupid jerks,
00:50:05.960
then you're not going to get COVID. And then five seconds later, everyone gets COVID who got the
00:50:10.920
shot. And he says, well, come on. I never said you wouldn't get COVID. I just said you wouldn't
00:50:15.640
transmit COVID you, you dopes. And then what happened five seconds later, they transmit it
00:50:20.280
to everybody. I said, well, no, hold on. You misheard me. You misheard me. You get the cotton
00:50:24.560
out of your ears. What I said was that it wouldn't be as bad as if you hadn't gotten the shot.
00:50:30.220
Of course, you're going to get it and transmit it to all your relatives, but trust me,
00:50:33.820
it would have been a lot worse if you didn't do what I said.
00:50:37.580
And then all the lemmings, they say, well, I guess he's right. That's what it means. And
00:50:40.780
they, it's like truly just brainwashing. But I just, we need these moments every so often
00:50:47.220
because what the libs do is they run the lies on page one, and then they run the retraction
00:50:52.060
six weeks later on page 10,000 of the newspaper. No one reads newspapers anymore, but they run it,
00:50:57.240
they hide it. The first tweet gets 10 billion retweets. And then the correction tweet gets like two
00:51:03.700
likes. And we need to take these moments to stop and say, hey, the COVID regime skeptics
00:51:12.540
were right about everything. And the experts, the liberal technocrat experts were wrong about
00:51:21.060
everything. And this wasn't just some academic discussion. This had very practical effects.
00:51:28.480
10 kids died because of Fauci's stupid vaccine. And look, people die because of vaccines. People
00:51:34.260
die because of medical interventions. You're never going to eradicate that from the medical system.
00:51:38.580
So frankly, even that is not the chief problem. The problem is you all lied to us and you told kids
00:51:43.940
who didn't need the vaccine that they had to get it. And now 10 kids are dead because of it.
00:51:47.740
And all of us who you called rube, stupid, dumb, idiot, conspiracy theorists,
00:51:51.520
we're totally right. We're completely right. We were proven more and more correct every single day.
00:51:55.720
We are still being proven more correct five years later. And you are all wrong.
00:52:01.260
And you have the temerity to call us dumb, to call us backward, to call us threats to public health,
00:52:07.140
and to say we should be excluded from the political order.
00:52:12.440
The chief takeaway from this, obviously, pray for the kids who died because of the perfidy of the
00:52:17.620
liberal ruling class. The chief political takeaway is you were right and you will never get credit
00:52:25.440
for it. But you were right. And the next time this happens, which will be tomorrow, which will be
00:52:31.280
these things, these kinds of ops are being run all the time. These kinds of information campaigns,
00:52:39.380
propaganda from the liberal political institutions that lie to you about everything,
00:52:44.040
that fail a sweet little university student because she had the temerity to politely and
00:52:50.320
succinctly tell the truth to her lunatic androgynous tranny professor.
00:53:01.380
And you need to have the confidence to tell the truth and to push back on them as best you can.
00:53:06.940
And when you have the advantage of having a little political power
00:53:09.720
to prevent them from having political power in the future in all sorts of just ways circumscribed
00:53:15.860
by morality in the constitution. Okay. Today's Tee Hee Tuesday. The rest of the show continues now.
