Summary
This week was another sick celebration of the American way. And all week Michael has been haunted by this unanswered question — What is the number?
Columbine wasn’t enough… Sandy Hook wasn’t enough… Parkland wasn’t enough… Will Robb Elementary be enough? How many dead children before America will rise up and scream “THAT’S IT! THAT IS ENOUGH”?
On this episode of Rumble, Michael shares the brutal, honest truth — we are a violent, armed country, founded in genocide and built on the backs of slaves. But as history shows us, if we can face who we are, we can become the country, and the people, we want to be.
