The Michael Knowles Show - Ep. 346 - The High Price Of Free Stuff

00:00:00.000 Joe Biden made waves yesterday by promising free health care for illegal aliens.

00:00:05.680 But Joe is just trying to keep up with the rest of the 2020 Democratic PAC,

00:00:09.600 which is promising free everything for everybody.

00:00:12.660 We will analyze the high price of free stuff.

00:00:15.900 Then the mailbag. I'm Michael Knowles, and this is The Michael Knowles Show.

00:00:18.780 The Michael Knowles Show.

00:00:48.780 You know, you're looking at me today, you're thinking, gosh, Michael, you sound a little tired.

00:00:54.820 You look like you didn't sleep in your purple mattress last night.

00:00:58.100 That's right, because I was on the road, and I slept in a hotel, and I nearly cried myself to sleep

00:01:02.820 because of how much I love and appreciate my purple mattress.

00:01:06.440 Purple mattress is unlike any mattress you've ever slept on.

00:01:09.280 It's not quite an innerspring. It's not quite a memory foam.

00:01:12.000 It's this new technology. It is both firm and soft at the same time.

00:01:16.220 How is that possible? I can't tell you. I'm not a rocket scientist.

00:01:19.900 But a rocket scientist developed this product, and it is the best sleep of my life.

00:01:26.120 Sweet little Elisa loves it. I think she married me for the purple mattress.

00:01:30.720 It also sleeps pretty cool, so this is another thing.

00:01:34.840 Sometimes in the summer you get really hot. You throw the sheets around.

00:01:37.660 Somehow the purple mattress sleeps nice and cool.

00:01:39.920 It'll just give you the best sleep.

00:01:41.920 100-night risk-free trial.

00:01:43.140 If you're not fully satisfied, return it for a full refund.

00:01:46.260 Backed by a 10-year warranty, free shipping and returns,

00:01:49.140 free in-home setup and old mattress removal.

00:01:51.060 You're going to love purple.

00:01:52.260 Right now, my listeners will get a free purple pillow with the purchase of a mattress.

00:01:56.900 That's in addition to a lot of other free goodies site-wide.

00:02:00.680 Just text right now. Stop what you're doing. Stop it.

00:02:03.960 Text Knolls, K-N-O-W-L-E-S, to 84888.

00:02:07.520 That's the only way to get this free pillow. Text Knolls, K-N-O-W-L-E-S, to 84888.

00:02:13.980 K-N-O-W-L-E-S, to 84888.

00:02:16.880 Message and data rates may apply.

00:02:20.300 All right, Joe Biden, he's feeling good.

00:02:22.840 He's got, I believe, at the latest measure, a 32-point lead over the next strongest Democrat in the race, Bernie Sanders.

00:02:29.920 And so now he's going back to that old tried-and-true Democrat playbook, promise everything for free to everybody.

00:02:38.260 How's he going to do it? Free health care for illegal aliens. 1.00

00:02:40.920 Do you think that undocumented immigrants who are in this country in our law abiding should be entitled to federal benefits, Medicare, Medicaid, for example?

00:02:50.740 Look, I think that anyone who is in a situation where they're in need of health care, regardless of whether they're documented or undocumented, we have an obligation to see that they're cared for.

00:03:04.180 That's why I think we need more clinics around the country.

00:03:06.820 And this idea that undocumented, and by the way, a significant portion of undocumented folks in this country are there because they've overstayed their visas.

00:03:16.300 It's not people breaking down gates coming across the border.

00:03:18.720 And so, look, the biggest thing we've got to do in this is just tone down the rhetoric.

00:03:24.180 We know why it's happening.

00:03:25.680 It's to create fear and concern.

00:03:27.960 Why are your job in tough shape?

00:03:29.640 Because of that, and then he describes in very graphic, unflattering terms, that other, the immigrant. 1.00

00:03:37.380 So Rambling Joe made about five points, or he started and tried to make about five points, and he didn't make any of them.

00:03:45.960 Maybe this is where President Trump is going with his Sleepy Joe nickname.

00:03:52.200 I thought that wasn't a great nickname.

00:03:53.920 But the image that President Trump is trying to give is that Joe Biden is tired.

00:03:58.220 He's exhausted.

00:03:59.280 He's senile.

00:04:00.440 He's doddering.

00:04:01.740 He's just a little out of it.

00:04:03.680 And that is the feeling that you get from that answer.

00:04:06.460 So just to begin, Joe Biden is talking about how we blame illegal immigrants for taking our jobs.

00:04:14.800 Nobody is blaming anyone for taking their job right now because unemployment is at a 49-year low.

00:04:21.340 There are many, many, many more jobs to be filled in this country than people who are looking to fill them.

00:04:27.860 So nobody is blaming anybody about taking anybody's job.

00:04:30.880 This is a big difference.

00:04:31.880 I understand why Joe Biden got confused here because the unemployment rate during the Obama-Biden years was 9%, upwards of 10%.

00:04:40.820 That unemployment rate actually didn't drop below 9% until 2011, almost until the end of the first term.

00:04:48.540 But right now, employment is doing well.

00:04:50.720 The question of illegal immigration is not primarily one of employment.

00:04:56.240 There are many other factors here, factors that pertain to our social services, factors that pertain to our culture, factors that pertain to the rule of law.

00:05:05.960 Now, Joe Biden does make a cogent point, or a nearly cogent point.

00:05:11.080 He says most illegal aliens are visa overstays.

00:05:15.880 Now, this would have been a cogent point about two years ago.

00:05:19.320 Right now, though, that isn't probably true.

00:05:21.500 Right now, we have about 3,000 illegal aliens per day pouring over the border with Mexico.

00:05:28.660 So how many visa overstays do we have?

00:05:31.020 On average, we have about 700,000 visa overstays per year.

00:05:35.780 But if we have a million illegal aliens coming in, if you annualize the number of people who are coming in per day,

00:05:42.320 you actually have more people crossing the southern border illegally.

00:05:45.540 But let's say that Joe Biden's point were true.

00:05:47.960 Let's say that the majority of illegal aliens in this country didn't cross the southern border, but they were visa overstays.

00:05:55.700 So what?

00:05:57.360 Is that supposed to be comforting?

00:05:59.860 Don't worry.

00:06:00.780 Our completely porous immigration system that makes a mockery of the rule of law and American citizenship, 1.00

00:06:06.440 don't worry.

00:06:07.480 It's people taking airplanes, not crossing the Rio Grande.

00:06:11.360 How is that supposed to make me feel better?

00:06:13.160 It still means that our federal legislators have failed at a basic task.

00:06:20.220 They've failed to enforce our national borders, the things that make up our nation, the things that define our nation.

00:06:27.040 Not very comforting.

00:06:28.640 Now, on a broader point, Joe Biden is right.

00:06:33.680 He's right not just about the future.

00:06:36.280 He's right about now.

00:06:37.300 He says illegal aliens should have access to medical care.

00:06:41.680 They do.

00:06:43.200 They have free medical care.

00:06:44.600 We currently provide medical care to illegal aliens at hospitals. 0.99

00:06:48.980 If you show up at a hospital, regardless of your immigration status, regardless of your citizenship, regardless of whatever, you will be treated.

00:06:57.980 As well we should.

00:06:58.840 The left wants to portray conservatives as these heartless people who want illegal aliens to die in the street, like we're Mr. Burns, you know, counting our dollar bills and not caring about anybody else.

00:07:13.980 What are you talking about?

00:07:15.020 We're the most generous country in the world.

00:07:16.700 And yes, we want people who are here to have medical care.

00:07:20.040 We don't want people to be turned away because they don't have enough money or because they're not citizens.

00:07:24.360 What sort of society would we be if we did that?

00:07:26.820 The area when it gets complicated is that Democrats are pushing for socialist health care now.

00:07:34.080 So it's not just you show up last ditch, you show up to the emergency room and we take care of you because we're a good country.

00:07:40.320 Now it's socialist medicine, a much bigger system, a much more expensive system, and a system with much less patient choice.

00:07:49.180 So let's see how quickly that gets out of hand.

00:07:52.980 Already you hear Joe Biden say, listen, we can't just provide free socialist health care for American citizens.

00:07:58.960 We've got to provide it for the 20 million illegal aliens in the country. 0.97

00:08:03.340 Yeah, well, that gets pretty expensive.

00:08:06.000 The country only has, what, 300, 320 million people?

00:08:08.780 Well, you increase that by 10, 20 million people, that's significant.

00:08:13.520 And then once you grant the premise that the government won't just subsidize health care,

00:08:19.700 won't just pay for a little bit of health care like Medicare, but will actually run the health care system,

00:08:25.760 what is the limiting principle that is going to rein in costs and rein in services?

00:08:32.040 This is why the government shouldn't negotiate with public sector unions.

00:08:35.920 This is why public sector unions don't make any sense because you have the government negotiating with itself.

00:08:43.360 You have the government negotiating with the people who make donations to politicians and the people who go and vote for politicians

00:08:49.540 and who then work for the government.

00:08:51.280 So there's no incentive to rein in costs.

00:08:53.480 Same thing with socialist health care.

00:08:57.180 If what you're dealing in is votes, if the thing that you are most covetous of is votes,

00:09:04.560 then you are going to try to buy off as many of those as possible.

00:09:07.800 And by the way, once Democrats take power, once you get a Democrat president with a Democrat Senate and a Democrat House,

00:09:14.540 you are going to see mass amnesty for illegal aliens.

00:09:17.940 Why? Because they'll legalize instantly 10 million votes. 1.00

00:09:24.780 We know statistically recent immigrants, legal and illegal, from Latin America,

00:09:30.640 which is where the vast majority of these immigrants that we're talking about,

00:09:34.080 DREAMers and crossing the southern border, are from, 0.98

00:09:36.700 they overwhelmingly vote for Democrats.

00:09:39.600 They are eight times as likely in some cases to identify with Democrats as with Republicans.

00:09:44.840 And this doesn't go away after one generation.

00:09:47.500 This persists throughout multiple generations.

00:09:50.920 And so Joe Biden is using an old tried and true trick.

00:09:53.580 He's saying, yeah, we're going to give a lot of free stuff away to everybody.

00:09:56.760 The taxpayers aren't going to attack me for it.

00:10:01.000 And because they're just not paying enough attention and we're going to overwhelm them

00:10:05.700 and we're going to turn California blue and we're going to turn Texas blue.

00:10:08.420 And then I'm going to pander to this group of people that I'm about to make legal.

00:10:13.040 This is more evidence of what this election is turning into,

00:10:17.040 which is the Democrats' free stuff election.

00:10:21.060 It's the free stuff primary.

00:10:23.400 I could use another term that's a little saltier, but free stuff is what it is.

00:10:28.100 It's what it all boils down to.

00:10:30.620 Democrats are currently promising a whole host of free programs,

00:10:35.220 not just the typical, hey, vote for me and I'll give you a little something extra.

00:10:38.660 We are talking about radically transforming our system of government and our economy.

00:10:43.520 We'll go through those programs in a second.

00:10:45.180 But first, I'm so happy right now to be in Missouri because Missouri is a constitutional carry state.

00:10:52.380 I should have come armed.

00:10:54.240 And if I did, I would use my We the People holster.

00:10:57.460 We the People holsters offers custom-made holsters all made in the USA. 0.65

00:11:01.980 This is really important.

00:11:03.020 People don't care about buying American-made goods anymore.

00:11:06.720 It matters.

00:11:07.600 You want to support American workers.

00:11:08.920 You want to support American ingenuity.

00:11:11.020 They design their own holsters in-house.

00:11:12.600 It means they don't use any third-party molds for their holsters.

00:11:15.420 Instead, they design every mold unique in Las Vegas in order to best fit each and every firearm perfectly.

00:11:22.000 Constantly update designs, new designs every month.

00:11:24.480 They have their own 3D design team, which measures every micromillimeter of their guns to ensure the perfect fit.

00:11:32.100 You rely on your gun.

00:11:33.440 You invest time in your firearms.

00:11:35.180 You invest money in your firearms.

00:11:37.040 Don't buy some low-quality holster.

00:11:40.260 We the People holsters are the best I've ever seen.

00:11:42.640 You can easily adjust both the cant and ride of your holster so that it will fit comfortably and securely at all times.

00:11:49.180 And you'll be able to place the holster on your back and see the cant and ride for easy access.

00:11:54.980 They're just fabulous.

00:11:56.040 They come with a lifetime guarantee.

00:11:57.760 Every holster ships for free.

00:11:59.380 If it's not a perfect fit, send it back for a refund.

00:12:02.100 Right now, listeners to The Michael Knowles Show can go to wethepeopleholsters.com slash Knowles, K-N-O-W-L-E-S, and enter promo code Knowles at checkout to get $10 off your first holster.

00:12:13.780 That is as low as $37.

00:12:15.380 Shipping is free.

00:12:16.160 An additional $10 off using my promo code.

00:12:18.040 I'm giving you money.

00:12:19.200 I'm giving you holsters. 0.96

00:12:20.560 Come on. 1.00

00:12:20.980 Don't be foolish. 0.98

00:12:22.320 Go to wethepeopleholsters.com slash Knowles and enter promo code Knowles at checkout for $10 off. 0.99

00:12:29.960 That's pretty good.

00:12:30.920 That's close to free.

00:12:32.440 But what the Democrats are offering is the free stuff primary.

00:12:35.080 So first, they're offering free child care.

00:12:38.360 Parents should no longer take care of their children.

00:12:40.400 The government is going to come in and take care of your children. 0.64

00:12:43.080 We don't want parents, you know, instilling any of those crazy ideas like religion and traditional values in their kids.

00:12:49.520 No, we need the government to come in and raise your kids for you. 1.00

00:12:53.080 So Elizabeth Warren is now calling for free child care. 0.98

00:12:56.460 Child care, by the way, can sometimes cost about as much as college tuition.

00:13:00.840 In the state of Massachusetts right now, where Liz Warren is from, well, I guess she's from some Indian tribe somewhere on the Great Plains, but where she's currently living in Massachusetts,

00:13:10.360 sometimes child care can cost up to $34,000 per year to enroll both an infant and a toddler.

00:13:19.520 In day care.

00:13:21.140 Now, Massachusetts is particularly expensive, but it's not the only expensive place for child care.

00:13:26.000 I'm from New York.

00:13:26.700 Child care is extremely expensive.

00:13:28.660 California, child care is extremely expensive.

00:13:31.160 So if we're now going to offer this as a new entitlement program to everybody in the country, how much money is that going to cost?

00:13:39.540 How much is that going to cost you and your taxes?

00:13:41.280 Next thing you're giving away for free is free college.

00:13:45.900 Bernie is now offering free community college and four-year public universities for families earning less than $125,000 per year.

00:13:56.380 Elizabeth Warren, Liawatha, is doing him one better.

00:14:00.280 She's saying forget about free community college and free, you know, a four-year public college.

00:14:07.680 She's saying that regardless of where you go to college, the federal government will pay off up to $50,000 worth of loans for any graduate earning less than $100,000 a year.

00:14:20.060 What did you earn in your first job out of college?

00:14:26.160 Unless you were working at an investment bank or in consulting, something tells me your first job out of college, you weren't making $100,000 a year.

00:14:35.500 I certainly wasn't.

00:14:37.620 So now Liz Warren is going in and essentially saying to every single college graduate, hey, we'll give you $50,000 for free. 1.00

00:14:47.140 Sure hope you vote for me.

00:14:48.120 And she has to be more radical than Bernie because she's polling a lot lower than Bernie. 1.00

00:14:52.920 And as we have been predicting for months, this primary is just to see who can be the farthest left candidate, who can be the most extreme radical candidate, who can give away the most stuff for free.

00:15:05.780 So then Kamala Harris comes in, Cory Booker comes in, Kirsten Gillibrand, all in the Senate, they co-sponsor the Debt-Free College Act.

00:15:14.560 They always tell you about the free part.

00:15:16.140 They always tell you how some people are going to get stuff for free.

00:15:19.560 They don't tell you about who's going to pay for it.

00:15:23.860 You can't get something from nothing.

00:15:26.880 You have to get something from somewhere.

00:15:28.540 So somebody is going to pay for that, and that's going to be me and you. 0.97

00:15:30.640 To their credit, I hate to be nice to the guy because he's a huge jerk, but Pete Buttigieg actually has come out against this idea. 0.97

00:15:39.580 Amy Klobuchar also has come out against this. 0.97

00:15:42.080 There's at least some modicum of almost sensibility going on in the Democrat primary.

00:15:51.640 Only those two guys, only on that one issue.

00:15:54.600 Next thing they're going to give away, they're giving away daycare.

00:15:57.760 They're giving away college.

00:15:59.120 Now they'll just go for broke.

00:16:01.340 They'll just give away free money.

00:16:02.960 So the entire Democrat field right now is offering free money to everybody.

00:16:09.460 Other than John Hickenlooper, John who?

00:16:12.780 John who?

00:16:13.260 The guy who's never going to win the Democrat nomination?

00:16:15.140 Yeah, that guy.

00:16:15.640 And Tulsi Gabbard, Congresswoman from Hawaii, I think.

00:16:20.340 Other than them, the entire Democratic field has endorsed a universal basic income for Americans.

00:16:28.200 And not just a universal basic income in some great philosophical way.

00:16:35.120 They're endorsing a universal basic income for Americans who are, quote, unable or unwilling to work.

00:16:41.700 I understand the philosophical and the policy argument for a robust social safety net.

00:16:49.900 Even for a universal basic income to people who really can't provide for themselves.

00:16:55.800 What they all support is the UBI for people who are unwilling to work.

00:17:02.560 And how have they all endorsed it?

00:17:03.700 They've all endorsed it in the Green New Deal.

00:17:05.860 So if you bring this up to them, they'll say, no, I was supporting that environmental legislation.

00:17:09.540 Well, the environmental aspects of the Green New Deal are actually a relatively small portion of the law.

00:17:17.180 The much more significant portions of the law are completely upending our health care system,

00:17:22.460 fully socialist health care, redistribution of wealth, and yes, a universal basic income for all Americans.

00:17:29.620 So that's the free money part.

00:17:31.580 But believe it or not, the free money part isn't even the most radical.

00:17:34.220 Historically speaking, there are now Democrats who are supporting reparations for the great-great-great-great-great-grandchildren of black slaves in the United States.

00:17:47.640 Just a cash payment, a transfer of wealth from who?

00:17:52.180 Maybe from the great-great-great-great-grandchildren of slaveholders? 0.99

00:17:56.420 But there weren't that many slaveholders, and who knows where their descendants are.

00:18:00.900 Is it going to be a transfer from just white people?

00:18:04.720 One of the earliest slave owners in the Americas was black.

00:18:09.680 Are they going to decide it based on race or gender or lineage or immigration status?

00:18:14.660 I don't know.

00:18:15.320 Probably they'll just take it from the federal government.

00:18:17.760 They'll take it from all of our taxes. 0.68

00:18:18.920 Now, lest you think that reparations for slavery is some radical, crazy, fringe idea,

00:18:27.920 do you know which Democrats in the 2020 field are endorsing reparations?

00:18:32.860 All of them.

00:18:34.460 Every single one.

00:18:36.360 Beto O'Rourke was sort of a holdout, and now he's endorsed it too.

00:18:39.400 Every single Democrat running for president has endorsed reparations for slavery.

00:18:45.120 So now, child care, college, free money, free money, but only if you're black, 1.00

00:18:51.360 so free extra money, but only if you're the descendant of African slaves. 0.73

00:18:56.600 Then there's free housing.

00:18:59.800 What are you going to do with all that money?

00:19:02.800 You've got to store it all somewhere, so the government's going to give you a free house.

00:19:06.760 Elizabeth Warren, Kirsten Gillibrand, and Kamala Harris,

00:19:09.680 all offering mortgage assistance to people.

00:19:12.620 Direct payments, mortgage assistance, free housing.

00:19:16.520 And then the most important one of all, the great fever dream of the left for the last 100 years,

00:19:24.920 free health care.

00:19:28.040 They've wanted a federal health care entitlement for all Americans for 100 years.

00:19:34.360 They're calling it Medicare for all.

00:19:37.020 It's not Medicare for all.

00:19:38.360 It doesn't resemble Medicare very much at all.

00:19:43.220 Medicare is a federal-funded health care program.

00:19:48.000 So you have your own doctor, you're using private programs, private clinics, private insurance, whatever,

00:19:54.420 and the government is paying for it.

00:19:56.260 Medicare for all would eliminate those things.

00:19:59.460 Medicare for all would be single-payer, run-down just between you and the government.

00:20:04.580 The government is deciding prices.

00:20:06.380 The government is deciding quality of care.

00:20:08.240 The government is deciding who gets what.

00:20:10.140 We've seen how terrible this can go in the United Kingdom.

00:20:13.880 There were those two poor little babies, Charlie Gard and baby Alfie.

00:20:18.840 These two babies had illnesses.

00:20:21.180 Their parents wanted to take them out of the hospitals and get them treatment elsewhere.

00:20:24.280 And the government-run hospitals said, no, your baby belongs to us.

00:20:29.960 The Pope asked.

00:20:31.420 He said, please, bring the babies here to the hospitals at the Vatican.

00:20:36.000 And the U.K. health care system said, no, the babies belong to us.

00:20:40.500 President Trump said, bring the babies to the United States.

00:20:43.600 What did the U.K. government say?

00:20:44.720 No, the babies belong to us.

00:20:46.140 Because the government, big enough to give you everything you want, is big enough to take away everything that you have.

00:20:53.100 And so, all of these presidential candidates for the Democrats are promising free health care and Medicare for all.

00:21:00.940 Why are they using the phrase Medicare for all?

00:21:02.860 It's because Medicare is very popular among old people.

00:21:06.380 Senior citizens really like Medicare.

00:21:08.500 And so, they're trying to use that phrase to sell it to everybody.

00:21:11.540 But it is just a lie.

00:21:13.540 It would take over one-sixth of the economy, take away choice, and put very serious and every day, daily, life-and-death decisions in the hands of the government.

00:21:25.820 Now, ironically, sometimes I think the Democrats are just trolling us.

00:21:31.900 Sometimes I think they're in on the joke and they just want to see us react.

00:21:35.300 But, ironically, you saw they want to give you child care, free money, reparations, housing, college, medical insurance.

00:21:44.860 They want to give you all of that.

00:21:46.620 The only thing under their proposals that you don't get for free is your own money.

00:21:53.620 Here's Joe Biden explaining.

00:21:55.360 You know, people say, well, Joe, how are you going to do all this?

00:21:59.620 Well, guess what?

00:22:00.720 First thing I do is going to repeal this Trump tax cut.

00:22:03.160 Yeah.

00:22:05.300 Well, not a joke.

00:22:07.380 So, Joe Biden, you've got to love him.

00:22:10.300 Sometimes he's accidentally honest.

00:22:12.260 He gives away the whole game here.

00:22:14.180 All of this free stuff that Democrats are promising isn't about generosity or charity.

00:22:20.240 It's about control.

00:22:22.400 He's saying, I'm going to give you all this free stuff.

00:22:24.360 I'm going to give you this free thing and this free thing and this free thing.

00:22:27.100 And people ask me how I'm going to pay for all that free stuff.

00:22:29.480 And I tell them, I'm going to take away more of your money.

00:22:33.460 Wait a minute.

00:22:34.200 Oh, whoops.

00:22:34.580 Did I say that?

00:22:36.000 Yeah, I'm going to give you all this free stuff.

00:22:37.260 Here's what I'm going to do.

00:22:38.100 I'm going to give you a ton of free stuff and then I'm going to rob you and I'm going to take all your money away.

00:22:42.400 Aren't I really generous?

00:22:43.420 Don't you want to vote for me?

00:22:44.400 It shows you that the left, it's like that controlling parent, that controlling parent you have.

00:22:53.820 You know, maybe it's a really nice mother or grandmother, I guess it could be a father.

00:22:59.060 They send you money.

00:23:00.060 They send you money.

00:23:01.060 You go off, you're living on your own and they send you money, they write you a check, hey, go buy yourself something nice.

00:23:06.160 Hey, I'll pay for part of your apartment.

00:23:08.700 I live in LA where every single person is financially dependent on their parents because none of them make any money or really work at all.

00:23:14.760 And so, say, I'll pay part of your rent.

00:23:17.760 I'll pay your car payment.

00:23:19.740 I'll pay your car insurance.

00:23:22.280 But, you know, I sure would like it if you'd come home for this holiday.

00:23:27.560 You're not going to come home?

00:23:28.800 I mean, come on, we're doing all that nice stuff for you and you're not going to do me a little favor?

00:23:32.140 I never ask for anything.

00:23:34.300 Come on.

00:23:35.040 I pay your rent.

00:23:36.540 You've got to, come on.

00:23:38.980 I did you a favor.

00:23:40.760 You're going to come and listen to me now.

00:23:42.620 It's about control.

00:23:45.300 People can give money away in charity and in love and they can also give money away so they get some control over

00:23:52.180 how you behave and that's what the left is doing.

00:23:55.540 Let's say, for instance, that Joe, I don't think the numbers work for Joe Biden,

00:24:00.120 namely because just the Green New Deal costs $93 trillion and you're not going to be able to pay off $93 trillion

00:24:05.780 by repealing President Trump's modest tax cuts from 2018.

00:24:10.040 But let's say the numbers did work.

00:24:11.740 Let's say the magical Democrat math did work.

00:24:13.740 And so the government is going to pay for everything that they're promising you for free

00:24:22.580 by taking away exactly that same amount in your taxes.

00:24:26.820 Why do we want the government to do that at all?

00:24:32.200 If it's a wash, if Joe Biden is saying, I'm going to just pay for it by taking away your money in taxes,

00:24:38.560 wouldn't you rather have the choice?

00:24:40.380 Wouldn't you rather pay for your own college and your own housing and your own health care

00:24:44.140 and your own child care?

00:24:45.560 Wouldn't you rather pay?

00:24:46.500 It's going to cost you the same amount of money.

00:24:48.620 Wouldn't you rather?

00:24:49.460 It's actually going to cost you less money to do it yourself because there's not that government overhead

00:24:53.580 and waste, fraud, and abuse.

00:24:55.880 But if it's going to be a wash, if somebody's got to pay in the end,

00:24:58.500 if the bill eventually comes due, you would want the money yourself.

00:25:02.960 There is no such thing as a free lunch.

00:25:07.160 And you, look, I hate the modern health care system.

00:25:10.180 It's awful.

00:25:11.000 It's impossible to make appointments.

00:25:12.460 The costs are very hidden.

00:25:15.200 Unless you have something like an HSA, you basically never see the prices of doctor visits and tests

00:25:21.680 and things like that.

00:25:23.580 Even so, and even though our system is very expensive,

00:25:28.460 you will never believe how expensive health care gets when it's free.

00:25:33.600 You will never believe how expensive child care gets when it's free.

00:25:37.680 You will never believe how expensive health care gets.

00:25:40.460 How much schooling, tuition, housing, UBI, money, reparations.

00:25:47.460 It's so much more expensive when the left wing tells us that it's all free.

00:25:51.840 That's the primary that we're dealing with right now.

00:25:54.720 And then there's poor Eric Swalwell.

00:25:56.400 He didn't get the message that everyone moved on to free stuff, so he is still stuck on the Mueller report.

00:26:00.960 He's a little bit slow.

00:26:02.360 But I guess I'm a little bit slow then, too, because Eric Swalwell is me, and I am Eric Swalwell,

00:26:06.680 and you are me, and I am the walrus.

00:26:08.080 Go, go, go, go, go.

00:26:08.720 We'll get to that in a second, plus the mailbag.

00:26:10.700 But first, I've got to say goodbye to Facebook and YouTube.

00:26:14.480 I'm here right now at the Missouri State Capitol.

00:26:16.640 We were previously in this beautiful office of State Senator Eric Burleson,

00:26:21.340 a tremendous guy who's been so hospitable today.

00:26:23.720 And then the minute I went to broadcast this podcast,

00:26:27.180 the entire Internet in the Capitol went down.

00:26:29.880 So I'm now in the bunker here broadcasting from Missouri.

00:26:32.340 I got to speak here today on the importance of liberal education and free speech on campuses.

00:26:38.720 I'm going to be going to Philly tomorrow to go to my friend Matt Walsh's pro-life rally

00:26:42.900 at that Planned Parenthood there in Philly.

00:26:44.720 If that punk state representative, Brian Sims, wants to show up and take on somebody his own size,

00:26:50.300 he's more than welcome to do that. 0.99

00:26:51.740 But he's a coward who would rather stalk little underage girls and elderly women, 0.98

00:26:56.760 so I expect I won't see him. 0.91

00:26:58.000 Maybe I'll see you out there tomorrow if you're in Philly.

00:27:00.180 Come on out to the rally.

00:27:01.000 It should be a good time.

00:27:01.760 We got a lot more with the mailbag.

00:27:03.320 Go to dailywire.com.

00:27:04.420 Subscribe.

00:27:04.900 Ten bucks a month.

00:27:05.680 Hundred dollars for an annual membership.

00:27:07.380 You get all the shows.

00:27:08.660 You get everything.

00:27:09.720 You get the Leftist Tears Tumblr, and you're going to need it tomorrow.

00:27:12.440 Go to dailywire.com.

00:27:13.360 We'll be right back.

00:27:24.520 Poor Eric Swalwell.

00:27:25.700 He didn't get the message that it's all just about free stuff,

00:27:28.040 so now he's focusing on the Mueller report still. 1.00

00:27:30.680 He tweeted out one of the stupidest tweets I've ever read. 1.00

00:27:34.820 And do you realize what that says? 1.00

00:27:37.620 Do you know how many thousands of stupid tweets I read every single day? 1.00

00:27:41.680 It's practically my job. 1.00

00:27:43.140 And yet this one ranks at least in the top ten.

00:27:46.260 This is what he wrote.

00:27:48.220 Remember that time Pearl Harbor was bombed and FDR called the Emperor of Japan?

00:27:55.420 Or the time the Twin Towers were struck and Bush ringed Osama bin Laden?

00:28:02.120 Ringed?

00:28:03.000 I don't...

00:28:03.640 Whatever.

00:28:03.880 No, I don't either.

00:28:06.560 So why did Donald Trump call Putin after the Mueller report was released?

00:28:12.820 Hashtag commander in cheat.

00:28:14.800 Before I begin to take this tweet apart, I would just like to personally apologize for the tweet

00:28:22.600 because unfortunately I am Eric Swalwell and you are Eric Swalwell

00:28:28.520 and we are the walrus goo goo goo joob

00:28:31.000 and therefore we all wrote that tweet. 1.00

00:28:33.880 But if I weren't Eric Swalwell, I would be able to eviscerate it because how stupid. 0.99

00:28:43.880 First of all, just as a general rule, don't compare anything to 9-11. 0.99

00:28:48.920 It astounds me that politicians still make this extraordinarily basic mistake.

00:28:55.360 When has a politician ever compared anything to 9-11 and it turned out well for him?

00:29:02.640 Ever?

00:29:03.600 No.

00:29:04.160 No, never once.

00:29:05.560 Because on September 11th, 3,000 American civilians were killed by terrorists who hijacked airplanes.

00:29:12.780 And in the Mueller report, a special counsel discovered that the president of the United States

00:29:18.040 didn't collude with Russia.

00:29:20.580 That's why they're different.

00:29:22.420 You see, when Pearl Harbor was bombed, kamikaze Japanese pilots took out our fleet in Hawaii, 1.00

00:29:30.520 killed lots of American servicemen.

00:29:34.500 And in the Mueller report, a lawyer figured out that Donald Trump didn't collude with the Russians.

00:29:40.580 So I could see how you'd get confused, but they're actually different things.

00:29:44.300 What Eric Swalwell is doing here, because he's kind of invested all his eggs in this basket of Donald Trump colluded with the Russians.

00:29:53.080 And so even though the Mueller report very clearly says that Donald Trump did not collude with the Russians,

00:29:58.860 it exonerates him on charges of criminal conspiracy or committing any crime with the Russians.

00:30:05.580 Nevertheless, he's got to double down on it.

00:30:08.140 And in this way, he's pretty smart.

00:30:10.260 This shows you the narrative.

00:30:12.360 I've read the Mueller report.

00:30:14.000 Well, I've read 200 pages of it.

00:30:15.340 I've read the important pages.

00:30:16.180 Some of you very likely have read the Mueller report.

00:30:19.740 We know that the special counsel and the attorney general exonerate President Trump on the charge of colluding with the Russians.

00:30:28.920 And yet, I bet if you polled the American people today, I bet most of them think Trump colluded with the Russians.

00:30:35.400 Because that's the power of the narrative.

00:30:38.860 And so now the Democrats are stuck between a rock and a hard place.

00:30:41.680 They're stuck between the reality they were really hoping for this Mueller report to convict Trump of being some KGB spy.

00:30:51.100 Turns out that isn't what happened.

00:30:53.020 And so now you've got all the people they misled calling for impeachment.

00:30:56.320 But then broadly, you've got the American people who really don't want impeachment.

00:30:59.980 And Nancy Pelosi has to answer out of both sides of her mouth. 0.99

00:31:03.120 And I have said the president is goading us into, wants to goad us into impeachment because he knows, as do I,

00:31:10.260 that that's not a good thing for the Congress.

00:31:13.200 Well, maybe he knows that.

00:31:14.460 But he knows that I think that.

00:31:16.520 Let's put it that way.

00:31:18.060 He knows that I think that.

00:31:19.180 But the point is, is that every single day, whether it's obstruction, obstruction, obstruction, obstruction of having people come to the table with facts,

00:31:32.180 ignoring subpoenas, ignoring subpoenas, every single day, the president is making a case.

00:31:40.260 He's becoming self-impeachable in terms of some of the things that he is doing.

00:31:43.980 Well, let's let's self-impeachable. 0.98

00:31:49.600 What is self-impeachable?

00:31:51.480 He's impeaching himself.

00:31:53.280 I don't it's she's just so lost here.

00:31:58.440 I mean, she's so lost.

00:31:59.840 She she's doing something that politicians have to do, which is just babble senselessly, give an answer that isn't an answer. 1.00

00:32:06.620 Sometimes when you ask a politician a tough question, they don't have an answer.

00:32:09.520 They'll say, listen, I think it's very, very important.

00:32:12.480 And I mean this very seriously and sincerely.

00:32:14.480 It's very important that we look into that.

00:32:17.520 So I don't want to actually do anything, but they have to seem like they care.

00:32:20.420 And so Nancy Pelosi here is she's talking like she's really serious, but she knows she can't impeach him.

00:32:26.900 Why?

00:32:27.380 Because Americans don't want to impeach Trump.

00:32:29.540 The latest polling shows only 29 percent of Americans want to impeach Trump.

00:32:34.160 However, the majority of Democrats still want to impeach Trump.

00:32:38.920 And she needs to hold a fractious House caucus together. 1.00

00:32:41.440 So when she's asked this question, she can only babble nonsense.

00:32:44.240 It reminds me of when you're in class and the teacher asks you, hey, what do you think of this chapter of the book?

00:32:51.880 And you haven't read the book.

00:32:53.020 And so you just start saying mealy mouth nothing.

00:32:56.060 She goes, well, if you're asking me about impeachment, I mean, really, I could impeach, I guess.

00:33:03.580 Or, I mean, really, when you really think about it, he's sort of self impeaching himself, I think.

00:33:10.240 Right.

00:33:10.660 Is that right?

00:33:11.100 Can I go to the bathroom, please?

00:33:13.660 So what is the Democrats' message going into this election?

00:33:18.560 They're giving two answers simultaneously.

00:33:20.920 Did Donald Trump commit a crime or not?

00:33:23.620 Swalwell is saying he did.

00:33:25.840 The Mueller report says he didn't.

00:33:27.760 Now, if he did commit a crime, what crime did he commit?

00:33:31.200 The Mueller report says he didn't collude with the Russians.

00:33:34.800 Collusion isn't even a crime.

00:33:37.320 Now, if he did commit a crime, whatever magical crime they're going to come up with,

00:33:41.100 then why won't Nancy Pelosi impeach him?

00:33:45.480 If Nancy Pelosi, if they caught the president committing a crime, they should impeach him.

00:33:49.380 The Democrats have the House.

00:33:50.920 If they're not going to impeach him, then why do they keep pushing the narrative that he committed a crime?

00:33:55.740 It just makes them look impotent or incompetent.

00:33:58.280 It makes them look weak.

00:33:59.500 If he didn't commit a crime and they're not going to impeach him, then what is wrong with Donald Trump?

00:34:06.880 The economy is great.

00:34:08.340 You've got peace abroad.

00:34:10.660 Things are going really well.

00:34:12.560 Wages are rising for the first time in a long time.

00:34:14.840 Now, $27.77 an hour is the average wage.

00:34:18.960 You've got way more job openings than people to fill them.

00:34:21.900 So, what's the argument against Trump?

00:34:27.060 What is your argument?

00:34:28.580 Now, there is an argument against Trump.

00:34:31.300 Everything is going great, and yet Trump's approval is just between 46 and 50 percent.

00:34:39.100 Rasmussen puts him at 50.

00:34:40.340 It's a right-leaning firm.

00:34:41.840 Gallup puts him at 46.

00:34:42.840 But, even according to Gallup, Donald Trump is doing better than Barack Obama at the same point in his presidency.

00:34:51.760 So, Trump's poll numbers are better than Obama's poll numbers.

00:34:55.180 However, you've got to remember, the Obama years were terrible.

00:34:58.940 They were awful on the economy.

00:35:00.040 You had 10 percent unemployment.

00:35:01.200 Things were dreadful during the Obama years.

00:35:03.300 Right now, everything is going great.

00:35:05.280 I mean, not only do I not remember when things were going so well in this country during my lifetime,

00:35:10.280 I don't remember when things were going this well economically and as a matter of foreign affairs, ever.

00:35:18.440 This may be, when you just look at the economy and foreign policy,

00:35:22.380 this may be the best time in the history of the United States.

00:35:25.940 And yet, Trump's numbers are only 46 to 50 percent.

00:35:28.920 Now, in part, this is due to a country that is very politically divided

00:35:32.780 and that has been increasingly politically divided over the last several decades.

00:35:37.180 That's not Donald Trump's fault.

00:35:38.500 That's been building for a long time.

00:35:41.020 Also, part of this is many people find Trump personally repulsive.

00:35:45.640 I don't.

00:35:46.500 I like Donald Trump.

00:35:47.740 I'm from New York.

00:35:48.500 I get a kick out of the guy.

00:35:50.540 But many people find Donald Trump personally repulsive.

00:35:53.800 And I get it.

00:35:54.520 I get why.

00:35:55.560 Barack Obama had the opposite problem.

00:35:57.300 Many people found Obama personally likable, but they hated his policies.

00:36:01.440 I didn't.

00:36:02.200 I didn't find him personally likable at all.

00:36:04.300 But I also hated his policies.

00:36:05.760 But with Trump, people love his policies, and many of them don't like him personally.

00:36:10.460 So this is the question that Democrats and the free stuff primary have to ask.

00:36:14.140 If their only chance is to make 2020 about personality, are people really going to trade prosperity for personality?

00:36:24.100 Are they going to really trade their own hard-earned money and their own economic freedom for free stuff that costs more money than the stuff they're getting?

00:36:33.640 If people would trade all that prosperity for personality, then the question is, which personality is going to beat Trump?

00:36:45.040 Kamala Harris?

00:36:46.100 No.

00:36:46.780 Cory Booker?

00:36:47.820 No.

00:36:49.960 Buttigieg? 0.60

00:36:50.660 Buttigieg? 0.60

00:36:51.320 Maybe.

00:36:52.220 Biden?

00:36:52.860 Maybe.

00:36:54.280 But if it really comes down to personality, are you going to be able to beat the king of reality TV?

00:37:00.880 Seems unlikely.

00:37:01.940 Let's get to the mailbag before we've got to go.

00:37:03.440 We're always running late.

00:37:04.760 From Timothy.

00:37:05.540 Hey, Michael.

00:37:06.000 If you were to have a chance to sit and talk with the more prominent members of the Inklings, C.S. Lewis, J.R.R. Tolkien, Owen Barfield, et cetera, and could ask them one question, what would it be?

00:37:19.020 One question.

00:37:19.660 I'd probably ask them how heaven is.

00:37:21.420 Because all those guys are definitely in heaven, right?

00:37:24.000 Those guys were so important.

00:37:27.560 I mean, I love them all.

00:37:28.540 I don't like fantasy stuff, but I still like Tolkien as a person, as a thinker.

00:37:34.700 I think that would be my question.

00:37:36.140 What is heaven like?

00:37:36.920 And I don't mean that in a glib way.

00:37:39.400 I want to know their thoughts on theology and God and religion.

00:37:44.320 They are all, they all know the answer now.

00:37:50.240 So that's probably what I would ask them.

00:37:51.820 That's what I ask them every night that I read their books.

00:37:54.780 I'm basically asking that question.

00:37:56.360 What's heaven like?

00:37:58.040 From Michael.

00:37:59.640 Michael, would you be in favor of runoff elections so that third parties actually have a shot at election?

00:38:04.480 No.

00:38:05.060 I hate third parties. 0.98

00:38:06.420 I hate them.

00:38:08.040 Yes, I know. 1.00

00:38:08.820 The Republican Party is awful. 0.97

00:38:10.140 I know. 0.99

00:38:10.480 The Democrat Party is awful. 0.96

00:38:12.700 Third parties are worse. 1.00

00:38:14.860 They can be spoilers.

00:38:17.260 If there is a runoff, you've got these little parties that come up and spring out of nowhere,

00:38:24.180 and you get an organized group of activists, and they make a big dent.

00:38:28.220 I like bigger institutions.

00:38:30.240 I like slower institutions.

00:38:32.420 I'm a conservative.

00:38:34.260 I want evolution, not revolution.

00:38:36.800 I want slow and gradual change.

00:38:40.360 There are some radical changes that I would make tomorrow if I were king,

00:38:45.400 or that I would at least want to make.

00:38:47.080 But even those radical changes that I want, I would be cautious about,

00:38:51.220 and I would make them slowly.

00:38:52.140 And those big parties do have real institutional heft and inertia to them,

00:38:57.980 and they do have some coherence, especially these days.

00:39:01.100 In the old days, the parties didn't line up exactly with political ideologies,

00:39:06.520 didn't line up with leftism or with conservative thought.

00:39:10.300 Now, much more so, they do.

00:39:13.320 The Republican Party more or less represents a conservative view of the world.

00:39:19.060 I know it's imperfect, but all human institutions are imperfect,

00:39:22.100 and so it more or less represents conservative thought.

00:39:24.260 The Democratic Party, also imperfect, also corrupt, also all those things,

00:39:28.560 basically represents the left-wing view of the world.

00:39:32.300 Those are coherent views.

00:39:34.320 There are a lot of little parties that would represent incoherent views.

00:39:38.820 There would probably be a party of social, liberal, fiscal conservatives.

00:39:43.300 I'm sure that party would spring up.

00:39:45.640 And there are a lot of people who would call themselves socially, liberal, fiscally conservative.

00:39:48.920 But that ideology doesn't make any sense.

00:39:55.300 I get that people have those preferences.

00:39:57.100 I would have called myself that at different times.

00:39:58.920 But it doesn't make a lot of sense.

00:40:00.300 I like that there is clarity between the two parties,

00:40:02.880 and I like that, especially these days, they're having an honest fight.

00:40:06.540 From Arun,

00:40:07.400 Dear Dr. Kofefe, I very much enjoyed your take on tariffs.

00:40:11.180 Along the same lines, what do you think of Tucker's idea of banning self-driving trucks?

00:40:15.980 Should we ban certain economic shifts if the resulting cultural damage,

00:40:20.780 in this case mass unemployment, would be too much to bear?

00:40:24.260 I'm not a Luddite.

00:40:26.360 So I don't take an idolatrous view of free trade.

00:40:31.980 I think there are negative consequences of free trade,

00:40:34.120 particularly to culture, particularly of questions of mass migration,

00:40:38.160 particularly in questions of surrendering some of your national sovereignty.

00:40:42.900 Because necessarily, when you engage in free trade in the 21st century,

00:40:47.380 that usually doesn't mean bilateral trade deals.

00:40:50.160 What that usually means is you're engaging in these massive international,

00:40:55.300 supranational organizations, the World Trade Organization, the IMF,

00:40:59.220 the European Union, whatever.

00:41:00.560 And when you engage in those free trade systems and organizations,

00:41:05.720 you, by definition, give away some of your national sovereignty

00:41:09.280 to a group that is not accountable to your people.

00:41:11.880 So I'm very aware of those risks,

00:41:14.500 and that's why I think there are plenty of good reasons

00:41:17.400 to institute tariffs on certain instances.

00:41:21.340 I don't think this is the case for banning self-driving trucks.

00:41:24.040 I question the premise that self-driving trucks would cause mass unemployment.

00:41:30.900 Right now, we have a booming economy.

00:41:33.320 We have something like a million more jobs open than we can fill.

00:41:37.960 So I don't think we're going to have mass unemployment

00:41:40.020 as a result of technological innovation.

00:41:42.520 However, it is true, technological innovation changes culture.

00:41:48.220 There is a downside even to your iPhone.

00:41:51.240 There is.

00:41:54.040 Now, I'm skeptical that you can predict the negatives of certain technological changes.

00:42:00.820 I'm skeptical that anyone can predict the future.

00:42:03.520 But it is certainly the case that massive, rampant technological change,

00:42:09.120 particularly when it is married to globalization, mass migration, free trade organizations,

00:42:15.440 when it's married to all of this, this can have massive cultural change.

00:42:19.080 And if a people wants to defend its culture against even technological innovation, they should.

00:42:24.960 The trouble now for us in the West is we don't believe in our culture anymore.

00:42:28.820 We don't defend our culture.

00:42:30.360 We don't participate in our cultural institutions.

00:42:32.760 So it might be a moot point because I don't think that anybody is going to trade their iPhone

00:42:37.740 for another extra couple nights at the Lions Club.

00:42:40.380 I don't think anybody wants to go back in time, nor should they go back in time.

00:42:45.900 But I don't think people are more protective of their culture than they are of their stuff.

00:42:51.200 And that's a cultural problem in and of itself.

00:42:53.620 From John, hey, Michael, I recently had a friend tell me they did not keep the baby when she was younger.

00:43:02.080 It has been close to 10 years since, and she still suffers from her past actions.

00:43:07.000 She still cries about this, and you can tell it weighs on her.

00:43:10.180 I'm not sure what I can say as she is looking to me for comfort.

00:43:14.220 Any thoughts or self-help books that might help her with her struggles?

00:43:17.100 Thanks for your help.

00:43:17.760 I will tell you to tell your friend what an ex-mobster turned born-again Catholic told me one time in New York. 0.96

00:43:28.760 Paul was a murderer. 0.99

00:43:31.700 Even St. Paul was a murderer. 0.98

00:43:36.140 People do very bad things, and abortion is a very bad thing.

00:43:40.980 And then they can have a change of heart.

00:43:43.100 They can repent.

00:43:44.240 What does repent mean?

00:43:45.260 It comes from the word metanoia.

00:43:46.500 It means to change your mind.

00:43:47.760 You change your mind about something.

00:43:49.340 At the time, maybe you didn't think abortion was a serious issue.

00:43:52.980 Now you realize it is.

00:43:55.040 Life goes on, and you shouldn't wallow in self-pity and wallow in regret and wallow in the past.

00:44:04.120 You can't go back to the past.

00:44:05.660 The devil wants you to go wallow in the past and wallow in self-pity.

00:44:09.160 There's nothing good about doing that.

00:44:11.360 You made a bad decision, in some cases a very bad decision.

00:44:16.040 What are you doing now?

00:44:17.020 Now you move on.

00:44:18.640 You're sorry for it.

00:44:19.800 You pray for that baby.

00:44:21.720 You move on with your life, and you live a good life. 0.98

00:44:24.540 Paul was a murderer.

00:44:25.400 What if Paul just decided, after he saw Christ on the road to Damascus, he says, 0.90

00:44:31.600 Oh, but I can't spread the Christian religion. 0.99

00:44:34.820 I can't become one of the greatest evangelists in all of history because I killed people.

00:44:40.340 I could never do anything.

00:44:42.000 We wouldn't have Christianity today if that were the case. 1.00

00:44:46.060 Paul was a murderer. 0.56

00:44:47.160 People don't commit unique sins. 0.97

00:44:51.780 Sin pervades the entire world.

00:44:53.500 And even that suffering that she's experiencing right now doesn't have a moral quality.

00:44:58.760 Suffering isn't evil.

00:44:59.980 It's your reaction to suffering that determines if you're going to respond in a good or a bad way.

00:45:03.940 From Ivan, Dear Pedro Knowles, no, now I'm Eric Swalwell.

00:45:09.720 I used to be Pedro, now I'm Eric Swalwell.

00:45:12.000 Dear, I'll change that, Eric Swalwell, since you are of Italian descent, what do you think of Benito Mussolini

00:45:17.820 and how much distance Italy has put between itself and the days of the fascist kingdom of Italy?

00:45:26.520 Italian politics is always terrible.

00:45:30.580 So how much distance do they put?

00:45:31.960 They have total distance. 0.84

00:45:33.560 Because all of their politicians are awful. 0.67

00:45:36.020 It's always been awful. 0.93

00:45:37.040 This has been true since ancient times.

00:45:42.340 Dante in the Divine Comedy refers to Italy as a slave. 0.99

00:45:46.360 It refers to Italy as a whore. 0.97

00:45:51.420 We've had something like 45 governments in Italy since World War II. 0.99

00:45:56.620 It's just completely unstable.

00:45:59.000 Italian politics is always awful.

00:46:01.580 And if tradition is any predictor of the future, it's going to remain absolutely awful.

00:46:06.520 All right, we've got a lot more to get to, but unfortunately we're out of time.

00:46:09.240 That's our show.

00:46:09.880 I'm going to Philly tomorrow, so maybe I'll see you there.
