The smash hit return of Roseanne to network television, which blew away ratings expectations

this week is excellent news for Donald Trump. I disagree with Ben on this, we will explain why.

It is the most important political opinion polling years. We will analyze what Roseanne's return

means for Trump, nostalgia TV, and the American people. Then the mailbag. I'm Michael Knowles,

and this is the Michael Knowles Show.

This is all culture today, and it's really, really good news. It also shows a divide among

conservatives, and it's a divide that is old as conservative political thought. So we'll get to

which is really funny, because the most noteworthy thing that I've done is not write a book. Can you

imagine what they would do if I did write a book? Can you imagine the sort of protests I would get?

are bringing me over there. So it should be a lot of fun. Look out for that later on tonight.

We'll see. Hopefully Antifa doesn't smash my head in or something. We need to talk about Rosanne.

This is all culture today until we get to the mailbag. But before we do that, we need to make

a little money. Rosanne's not the only person who's making money. She had this big smash hit show,
