This episode is brought to you by Cardiff, America's favorite small business lender with over 12 billion funded since 2004, applying under three minutes for same-day funding up to 500,000 at Cardiff. CO slash Knowles. I'm on the road in Europe working on a special secret project that I can't talk about just yet.

Starting point is 00:01:08 I'll be back in a couple days in the studio. In the meantime, we've got lots of great content coming out. But I had to pipe in from the old world in order to talk about this story. Just briefly, before I hit the trail again, this involves the campaign trail. The story is that the struggling of Abdul al-Syad, the Senate candidate in Michigan, is working. It is clearly getting to him tying Hassan Piker to the mainstream leftman candidates is working. It's not that hard to do. They've actually tied themselves to Hassan Piker.

Starting point is 00:01:39 But here is Abdul Al-Said at his wits end being asked about Piker on the trail. I am not interested in a conversation about a social media person in California. And for folks who want to make this race about a social media person in California, let's not forget what actually matters in our politics or what our politics really are about. I don't ever want my comments to hurt anybody's feelings. It's important to me that people understand that I take seriously the pain of all communities in this state. But I don't want to have a conversation about a Twitch streamer in California. This is not a serious conversation. It's just not, come on, it's not a serious conversation.

Starting point is 00:02:14 Why are you asking me of this random Twitch streamer? Well, because you've been campaigning with him. Not even just once. Look, in politics, if you show up to an event, there's a photo line, you're mingling, you take a picture, people find a picture of you with some total wacko, okay, you know, that happens once at an event with hundreds or thousands of other people, that's one thing. Abdul al-Said has campaigned with Hassan Piker multiple times, including recently. He shows up to events.

Starting point is 00:02:46 He gets Hassan Piker to come on out to Michigan. This is not just a random Twitch streamer in California. This guy is the de facto intellectual leader of the Democrats, of the American. left. I'm thrilled about that because I think that makes Democrats look bad and it's going to make it harder for them to win in November and in 2028. But I didn't make them do that. They did that. Okay. And Hassan Piker, Hassan Piker is so successfully allowing the Democrats to be struggled right now that he is kind of being struggling, struggled himself. Here is Hassan Piker trying to walk back. You know all the comments. He said that Republican senators should be murdered, that the streets should run,

Starting point is 00:03:27 in capitalist blood that America deserve 9-11. He's got a picture celebrating 9-11 behind him. Here's another one. They're trying to, we are trying to tie the Hassan Piker issue around the Democrat candidates. And in part, it comes all the way down to the fact that he obviously hates America. So now Hassan Piker comes out. He says, I do not hate America. It is completely ridiculous.

Starting point is 00:03:52 It's laughable to say guys like myself, guys like Abdul al-Sayed, we have. hate America. I say I hate America all the time. A lot of motherfuckers want to kill me over that take. But at least I say it with my chest, people will be like Hassan, you hate America. I'm like, yeah, I do. I do hate America. Love it. Cinema, absolute cinema. This is how you know that this is a successful political operation. Because Asan Piker's job is just to say the most provocative things and get the most views. Abdul Al-Sayed's job is to bring young voters out, which is in part why he's powing around with Hassan Piker, but his job is to win elections, and you don't win elections by saying you hate America. So their interests diverge a little bit. This is true of the

Starting point is 00:04:37 political media, especially the online media, and the elected political order generally. You've seen this happen on the right, where the podcasts have fallen into total crazy sensationalism, whereas the Republican candidates are trying to actually pass laws and enact policies and win elections. Husson Piker, though, now realizes that he has become such a liability to the left, that he might lose his position as the intellectual thought leader, intellectual, you know, great it on a curve, that he might lose his position, his status, his access, being invited out to the campaign events. So now he's running away from his own statements in a way that he had made fun of when he originally made them. He said,

Starting point is 00:05:21 Look, you know, say what you want about me, but at least I'm not a wimp, at least I'm not a wuss. I say it with my chest. I say it with my chest. I don't, I'm not a weakling, okay? I don't, I hate America. And then five seconds, say it goes, I never said I hate America. Why are you saying that? You know, you stream, there's film.

Starting point is 00:05:41 You do, your job is to document all the crazy things you say. In any case, it's beautiful. And the struggling must continue. I want every Democrat on the campaign trail to be asked about Hassan Piker constant. make them twist, make them squirm, make Hassan Piker twist and squirm, demoralize the radical base that watches Asan Piker and freak out the remaining moderate voters among the Democrats who can vote Republican or just stay home in the midterms.

Starting point is 00:06:09 Politics as a team sport, and unfortunately for the Democrats, they have brought a very nasty figure onto their team. There's a lot more I want to get to on politics as a team sport. Huge news, Milo Yanopoulos, one of the O.D., MAGA influencers going back to 2016, Milo just got deported. It turns out Milo was an illegal alien, and I don't know if they had just been slow rolling his deportation process. He may have missed some court dates. I don't know. The reporting is a little blurry on that. Maybe someone was protecting Milo and is no longer there. No one knows, but he's out. It's like a Shakespearean,

Starting point is 00:06:46 Oscar Wildean ending to the Milo saga with regard to Trump in America. It's not the end of his story. He'll keep doing lots. I'm sure he'll pop up any day now. But nevertheless, that's an amazing story because Milo had been so pro-Trump. Then he turned on Trump. He found himself as a man without a team. Jelly Roll.

Starting point is 00:07:08 I'm trying to get a few points out here before I get dragged back out on the road to Europe before I'm back in the studio in a couple days. But Jelly Roll, who became kind of a MAGA influencer. You know the guy with the tattoos and he's a rapper, I guess, and he's kind of right-wing. You saw him at right-wing events. Jelly-roll comes out and starts crying on Jimmy Kimmel's show. He's attacking Trump in all sorts of ways.

Starting point is 00:07:32 I don't know if there's something in the air on Jimmy Kimmel's show that just makes you cry in front of cameras. Don't cry in front of cameras. It's not good. Don't do it. Regardless, he comes out there. He turns on Trump. Now you've got Florida politicians saying, hey, you're not welcome in Florida anymore.

Starting point is 00:07:47 You're not welcoming the panhandle. We don't like you. You're done. He's a man without a team. Politics, very much a team sport. And I want to bring to bear as much team pain, as much struggling as possible for the other guys. Okay, and we'll get into that. We'll get into some of the stories and some of the races that are going on.

Starting point is 00:08:07 But first, I'm Michael Knowles, and this is the Michael Knowles show. Primary season is heating up. We are about to exit silly season. Now people are starting to pay attention to the races, but no one knows what to focus on. Even me. I work in politics professionally. I'm not paying attention to all these races. There's so many.

Starting point is 00:08:43 It's been nice summer. But with the nominations, she's starting to see names pop up, Abdul al-Syad, names like that. Time to focus in. because things are looking very, very bad for Republicans. So the five races to pay the closest attention to right now, at least, would be the Michigan Senate race. There you have Abdul El-Sayed, a socialist Democrat. He alternately positions himself as a jihadi or a homosexual.

Starting point is 00:09:14 But he's trying to appeal to the two parts of the Democrat base. Nevertheless, he is a progressive, radical Democrat. versus former Congressman Mike Rogers. Then the next race would be down in Georgia. Key race to look at that would be John Osoff, who is the Democrat incumbent versus Republican challenger Mike Collins. These are important states. You even think about the states that a Republican presidential nominee is going to look at. You're looking at states like Michigan, Georgia, Wisconsin. Next one to pay attention to North Carolina Senate race. You've got former Democrat Governor Roy Cooper versus the former head of the Republican.

Starting point is 00:09:52 National Committee, Michael Wattley. And then you go to Ohio. That race is tighter than I feel comfortable for. That is between former Senator Sherrod Brown versus the appointed incumbent, Senator John Husted. And then finally, the Arizona governor race. Now, do you remember, are you getting PTSD flashbacks to the Arizona governor race? That was Katie Hobbs in, what was it, 2022, I guess it was? Yeah, 22. She was running against Carrie Lake. Carrie Lake wouldn't give up the race. And so it was a very tight race. Hobbs just made it through. She's running against Republican Andy Biggs. Who's awesome? We love Andy Biggs. Going to be a very tough race. Okay. So let's go through these five. There's a lot more to say first. They'll go to Cardiff.co slash Knowles.

Starting point is 00:10:37 Running a small business already means doing about 12 jobs at once. Securing funding should not become the 13th. I've had some small businesses and I still operate small businesses. Small business owners already have more than enough competing for their time. Securing the capital to grow should not require weeks of paperwork or become another job in itself. If you want bank rates without the bank delays, Cardiff can get your business approved in minutes funded the very same day. You got to go to cardiff.c.co slash Knowles, K&WLES, up to half a million dollars in same-day funding. Cardiff's application takes less than five minutes, no impact on your personal credit. If approved, you can use the funding wherever your business needs it most,

Starting point is 00:11:17 whether that means hiring, purchasing inventory, equipment, finally making that expansion possible. Your business starts to do well, then you realize you need money. And so you've got to spend some money to keep making even more money. Banks try to lock out small businesses. Cardiff has the key. Big banks may not want to approve your business loans. Cardiff does. If you've been in business for at least a year and are pulling in $20,000 a month in revenue, apply now for up to half a million in same-day business funding at cardiff.co slash Knowles, CanadaWLAS. That is cardiff.c.c.com slash Knowles, KNAWLAS, real growth, fast funding, Cardiff, borrow better. Going back up to the Michigan race.

Starting point is 00:11:55 The reason that this is an open seat is because Gary Peters is not running again. Gary Peters is a Democrat. So this is good. This gives the Republicans at least an opportunity to flip a Democrat seat because the incumbent's not going to be there anymore. Now, in terms of the Republican nominee, you got Mike Rogers, who lost a Senate seat to Alyssa Slotkin last time. unfortunately. The real clear politics polling average on this race currently has Abdul al-Syad up. This is really bad. I mean, this is a guy who just went on Fox News and said he supports mutilating kids dingalings. Dinglings. He actually used that word. Not a good word you want to use

Starting point is 00:12:34 if you're running for high office, and yet he still seems to be doing all right. He's got this base where he's going to win 80% of Dearborn, because Dearborn is now a Muslim city. It's part of the caliphate, but he also is going to win white liberal women who are his main base. Right now he's up. I mean, it's a toss up, but he's up. So that worries me greatly. If Abdul al-Sayyad can shut up, if Abdul al-Syad can keep his trap shut and stop talking about kids dangleings, I think he has a very good chance of winning that seat. If he can't shut up, if he is just forced, not even because of his own lack of discipline, but if he's for his, because of his crazy base, the socialists and the Islamists and the LGBT lobby, if they force him

Starting point is 00:13:21 into defending, and the Republican Challenger forces him into defending things like transing the kids, then I think Rogers has a very good shot at it. But right now, polling is tough. Now, I should make a point about the polling here. August is traditionally the worst time for polling for the party out of power. That's really bad because you're at the very end of silly season, one's paying attention. Republicans are feeling complacent in this case because we have a unified government. And so the polling is really, really bad. Those polls are going to tighten up. If the polls tighten up, all of a sudden, you're going to see Rogers probably pull ahead a little bit, but this is too close for comfort. Let's go down to Georgia. Georgia's a lot easier. Oswaf's going to win. Unfortunately,

Starting point is 00:14:01 I'm sorry to say it. I hope I'm proven wrong. I hope I have egg on my face, but he's almost certainly going to win. Oswaf is the incumbent. Sorry, the incumbent. The Rookler polling average has him up seven and a half points right now over Mike Collins. It's going to happen. In fact, Assoff doesn't seem concerned about the Senate race at all. In fact, he's probably just looking to run for president already, but he's not doing a very good job of it because he launched his proto-presidential campaign accusing a random White House staffer of being a whore. So if he wants, you remember that? He goes, calling out this random White House staffer and insinuating based on nothing that she's having an affair with the president. So if he wants to position himself as the adult in the room,

Starting point is 00:14:39 he's not one of these crazy socialists. He's not an Islamist or an LGBT. activist. You know, he's the mature adult. The future Obama, that was not a good way to start. Let's go to, unfortunately, not a tighter race. This is another tough one. In Carolina, you got former Governor Roy Cooper there running against Michael Watley, the former chairman of the Republican National Committee. Right now, the aggregate polls have Cooper up eight or nine points. The prediction markets right now have Cooper at a 90% plus chance of winning that race. Part of it is just name ID. The former governor is going to have way better name recognition than the chairman of a party. Being the chairman of a party doesn't always do that much for you when they actually try to run for office. He was there for two

Starting point is 00:15:20 terms. So the independence favor Cooper over Watley. So again, I like Mike Watley. I think he's a cool guy, but I don't totally see it happening. Now a real, this is a real bellwether kind of race. This is in Ohio. You know that old line. They say, as goes Ohio, so goes the nation when it comes to presidential races. Well, in recent years, Ohio has become pretty solidly Republican, and yet, former Senator Sherrod Brown versus the now incumbent Republican Senator John Hustead. But he was appointed after Vance left the Senate to go be vice president. So, you know, it's an appointed race. He's now got to win the election on his own. Very, very tight race. According to the Rookler politics average, Brown is up. Shared Brown is up.

Starting point is 00:16:06 There are other polls that have husted up. So you've got New York Times poll, Qantas poll, bowling group poll, bowling green poll, sorry, have the Republican up. But it should not be this tight. Ohio is an R plus 11 state now. Okay. At the presidential level, Ohio is solidly Republican and gave us our current vice president. But Sherrod Brown is very well liked. And he still has working class appeal. So if we lose the Ohio race, we're in big, for the midterms. We are in big, big trouble. And we might be in trouble in 2020. Because Ohio, it might be the case, is solidly Republican. When Trump is on the ballot, don't forget Trump's been on the ballot now for the last 12 years. But when Trump's off the ballot, maybe not so much. Now, luckily, the presumptive nominee for 2028 is an Ohio man. It was an Ohio senator, J.D. Vance. Nevertheless, though, so much of the post-Trump question for the Republicans is, can we maintain the Trump coalition. After the Reagan coalition, Bush wasn't really able to hold it.

Starting point is 00:17:11 And what's his name? Well, gosh, one of my absolute favorites. Bob Dole, Bob Dole, the first candidate I ever voted for at age six. Bob Dole, he wasn't able to maintain it. Bush, Jr. created his own coalition. But that working class coalition went away basically until Trump. The question is, can the working class coalition that we put together stick with the Republicans? and if they start turning to Sherrod Brown in this race, not looking good.

Starting point is 00:17:38 There's a lot more to say first, though, go to take lean.com promo code Knowles, K&WLES. Every office has one person who discovers something that works for him and immediately becomes an unpaid spokesman for it. Usually it's parents talking about gadgets for their kids. Well, apparently, we now have that guy for lean. The Daily Wire, I'm not going to say his name, a Daily Wire editor has been taking Lean. the jar sitting on his desk. He takes it all the time. He tells everybody about it. And I'll tell you this, he's looking sexier than ever. Okay, he's got good reason to be. No, he's good. He's good. He looks fitter. He says he feels lighter on his feet. More energy throughout the day. In less than a month, he's already gone down a pants size. Perhaps we should let that man preach. Lean was developed by doctors at Brick has nutrition specifically for people who have been frustrated trying to lose 10 pounds or more. Its studied ingredients are designed to support healthy blood sugar, fat metabolism, and appetite and craving control. If you have been curious about the weight loss injections but have no interest in giving yourself that weekly injection, lean is another option to consider alongside a healthy diet and exercise plan.

Starting point is 00:18:39 Let's get started with 20% off plus free rush shipping. If that sounds like something you've been looking for, go to takelein.com. Enter promo code Knowles. KennawLAS, get 20% off plus free rush shipping. That is takelein.com promo code Knowles. Then we get to the AZ governor race. You got Katie Hobbs versus the Republican Andy Biggs. Katie Hobbs is really smart.

Starting point is 00:19:02 There was some question over whether or not she rigged the election in 2022. Carrie Lake certainly advanced that point. Katie Hobbs was the Secretary of State in Arizona at that time. She barely won. I think that what was that race? Final numbers on that race. It was a Harris breath. But right now, Hobbs is way up.

Starting point is 00:19:18 RCP average has Hobbs up 11 and a half points. And Hobbs did something really, really smart. She picked as her running mate, you know, the person who's going for a lieutenant governor. She picked a Republican former mayor. So Hobbes is not running as a radical. She's following the Abigail Spanberger campaign model, which worked very well for her in Virginia, which is you run like a moderate and then you can govern like a radical. But right now, this is brutal.

Starting point is 00:19:42 The Cook calculation here has moved this from a toss-up to Lien's Democrat. It's brutal. Andy Biggs is great. Everyone should go out there and support him. Donate, go, vote for him, canvas, bring petitions around. but it's going to be a huge, huge uphill battle. So what does that mean for the Democrats broadly in November? The Democrats currently need four flips.

Starting point is 00:20:07 Forget about the House of Representatives. We're not even talking about that right now. Let's just focus on the Senate for a second. The Democrats need four flips in order to take the Senate. If the Democrats lose Georgia or Michigan or New Hampshire, they need five flips. If you looked at this a month ago, if you looked at our great sponsor, Kalshi, the odds of flipping the Senate were pretty low for the Democrats. They have narrowed now to it being a toss-up.

Starting point is 00:20:37 It's 51-49. That is not a good trend. So what we have to hope on, the thing that the Republicans can hold our hope on are a few things. One, that the Iran war is settled. I don't think that will happen before the midterms. Two, that prices come down. I don't think that will happen. In part, because there is some pressure from the Iran war, but in part just because prices don't come down.

Starting point is 00:20:57 Trump has brought the rate of inflation way, way down, but the actual prices don't come down. That's just not how the economy works. So that's going to hurt them. The only thing you can really hope for is that this actually is the lowest point of polling for Republicans, that that historical trend holds true. And that these candidates are not disciplined because of their own individual behavior or because of their crazy base forcing them into promoting unpopular issues like transing the kids. That's what you have to hope for. because all of the trends over the last two months are suggesting a bloodbath for the Republicans in November.

Starting point is 00:21:34 I hope that is not the case. I'm not encouraging you to bet one way or the other. But the state of play today is worse than it was a month ago. If the midterm elections were held today, the Democrats would take it. They'd almost certainly take the Senate. So the only question then becomes, have we reached peak Democrat?

Starting point is 00:21:58 Is it all downhill from here as we start attacking the nominees? I wouldn't bet too much money on it. Okay, on that chipper note, we have to move on. There's a lot more to say first, though, go to helix sleep.com slash knolls, Canada WLS. Buying a mattress in a store is one of these stranger modern rituals. You lie down beneath fluorescent lights for 30 seconds while a salesman looks at you in bed, and then you somehow decide what you want to sleep on for the next 10 years. Helix offers a much more civilized approach.

Starting point is 00:22:26 Sweet little Elisa and I recently set up our new Helix mattress in our guest room. We have many multiples of Helix mattresses in our home. Helix delivered it right to our door, free rush shipping anywhere in the U.S. Set up was super easy. Then we lay down on it just to test it out. I could have slept the whole night starting at 3 p.m. when I lay down on there. It is really, really good. In fact, I wonder why I'm giving that new mattress to my guests when I could keep it for myself.

Starting point is 00:22:51 But luckily, I have a lot of Helix mattresses. They have more than 20 mattress models. They have a sleep quiz to match you to the perfect mattress for your sleep position, your firmness preference, your comfort needs. It's the most awarded mattress brand. It's recognized by experts in Forbes and Wired. It's just phenomenal. You'll get a 120-night sleep trial and a limited lifetime warranty.

Starting point is 00:23:09 You won't need any of that because it's so good that you will love it forever. Go to helixleep.com slash Knowles, Kennaw LAS. 27% offsitewide, exclusively for listeners to this show. That is Helixleep.com slash Knowles, KennawLAS, for 27% offsitewide. exclusively for listeners to this show. Okay, enough about the elections. Now, finally, finally, we arrive at my favorite time of any show, which is when I get to hear from you in the mailbag.

Starting point is 00:23:35 First question up, this is not voice mailbag. This is a written mailbag, which I've neglected too much over the last, I don't know, six months or a year. First one up is from Charles M. Michael, I have been dating my girlfriend for almost two years now. We love each other more than anything, and no, we want to spend the rest of our lives. lives together. But every time I bring up marriage, she tells me she feels we're too young and

Starting point is 00:23:57 should live our lives more. Get better footing financially. Get more fit. Get more fit. What? You're going to wait to get married until you're old and fat. You're not going to get more fit than you are. Anyway, I'm sorry. I'm digressing. I should finish the question. We are 25 and 26. How should I approach this? Am I overreacting when it upsets me? Should I, as the man, just kick back until she asks for it, thanks. No, it's weird because historically, it would be the opposite. It'd be the woman wanting to get married and the man who is dragging his heels on it. Part of the reason this has changed is because of feminism and women being told by the whole culture that they have to put off getting married and they need a career. And a part of it also is because we've now normalized premarital sex since the

Starting point is 00:24:43 1960s. I'm not accusing you of doing that. I don't know what you're doing. I'm not asking. But because of that, people get a lot of the goods of marriage, like, you know, that thing that married couples do and even living together and all that. They get all of that without actual marriage. So there's less of an impetus for marriage. But regardless, in the old days, it would be the woman who would say something to the effect of, I'll clean it up slightly, piss or get off the pot. And now, weirdly, you're in that position. But you should not wait until she asks for it. If you wait until she asks, what you're saying is that she is going to propose to you. So you would be thereby beginning your marriage with a complete inversion of the role of husband and what you would be the wife and your girlfriend would be

Starting point is 00:25:26 the husband. So that's a terrible idea. I would say if you guys were 18, if you were 16 and this were some Romeo and Juliet thing, then maybe you should wait a little bit. But you're 25 and 26. That's a good time to get married. And so I would just explain that to her and explain what you're thinking. And especially if you are abstaining from the things that married couples tend to do, then you should say, look, I want to do those things. I want to do it with you, and I want us to be married forever and have a bunch of kids. So if you don't want to do that, we clearly have a different view of marriage and of life together. And if you are just confused by the culture and you do trust me and you do want me to be your husband eventually, well, let's start right now because I'm going to

Starting point is 00:26:04 start leading what will be our household in this first act of our marriage, which would be the proposal and the wedding itself. That's what I would do. Twenty, twenty five and twenty-six. The one that really gives the whole thing away to me is she wants to get more fit. You know, you can exercise when you're married. What is that get more fit? What? So she can fit in the dress a little better and get nice pictures for Instagram. Already we're now trading higher goods for lesser goods.

Starting point is 00:26:31 And I just say, all right, honey, I want to get married. I want to get married to you. If you don't want to get married, let me know, and I'll find somebody else to marry. There's a lot more to say first. They'll go to policy genius.com slash nolls. KnaW.L.A. children have an extraordinary talent for creating expenses you did not know existed.

Next question from Andrew. My also variations on a theme. Michael, I'm utterly terrified of women.

Starting point is 00:27:51 They're very scary. Not because I think they're going to hurt me, but because the stuff in a lot of their heads is so dark. Like, what the hell do you mean women are standing with a mom who killed her three kids? What do you mean the majority of them support killing babies in the womb? My question is this. Is your view of women generally diminished over the last few years? Or is it just me?

Starting point is 00:28:09 Thanks for all you do. No, my view of women is not diminished because I've always or long had a realistic view of women and men for that matter. I mean, let's focus on the women first. It is crazy and scandalizing to some people that there are all these women who are supporting a lady who killed her three kids and then who blamed it on postpartum depression with which she was not diagnosed eight months after the birth of her baby when people don't have postpartum depression. Yeah, That is nuts. It's crazy that women are bringing their own kids to rally outside the courthouse in defense of a woman who murdered her three children. Yes, that is, yes, that is scandalizing to a lot of people. But you do recall that the imagination of man's heart is evil from his very youth, right? I'm not the

Starting point is 00:28:57 first to observe that. That goes all the way back to the book of Genesis, actually. So that shouldn't surprise us. And it's not just women. Think about it for men. We hear so much. We hear so much. much about toxic masculinity in our culture because it's pushed by the government and in the schools and the popular culture that people are shocked when they find out that men do good things. They're not shocked when they find out that men do bad things. But I think even still, imagine just for a second if at your most sinful and your darkest moments when you're tired, when you're in a state of mortal sin, when you're feeling lusty and addicted and prideful and wrathful and what. Imagine if a woman could get into your head. Just on the issue of sex,

Starting point is 00:29:47 if women truly understood how a man absent discipline and religion and commitment actually thought about sex, women, there would be a woman-shaped hole in the wall. They would never want to speak to a man again because women relate differently to sex. And so, yes, we're getting a glimpse into the darkest recesses of the female psyche. Yes, of course. It is, the whole Lindsay Clancy case is a, is a window in on the fact that half of women in this country support murdering babies at any time in the womb. I mean, that is, that is pretty crazy for sure. But I guess what you have to do here is, one, marry one of the 50% of women who does not support killing her kids, or meet one of the 50% of women who, in principle, supports abortion and then just convince her she's wrong because a lot of women and men

Starting point is 00:30:38 propagandized to believe abortion is just health care. Yes, that's true. And you need to together develop the discipline with the invaluable and irreplaceable help of God's grace to pull away from those darkest aspects of ourselves. But no, the short answer, I guess, is this didn't reduce my opinion of women because I already had a pretty low opinion of men and women's heart left to its own devices. So much more I want to get to, but we got to go. So I'm Michael Noles. This is the Michael Nulls show. See you next time.
