Summary

Democrats in Congress are trying to revive the Equal Rights Amendment, which supposedly will guarantee equal rights for women in America. The problem is that women already have equal rights, so what will this amendment really do? We'll talk about it. Also, are people who recline their seats on airplanes sociopaths? We discuss. And I answer emails from some listeners who think I'm a bad Christian for saying that we should teach our children to fight back against bullies. Check out The Cold War: What We Saw, a new podcast written and presented by Bill Whittle at https://www.dailywire.com/coldwar. In Part 1 we peel back the layers of mystery cloaking the Terror state run by the Kremlin, and watch as America takes its first small steps onto the stage of world leadership.

0:00.0	Welcome to the show, friends, neighbors, companions, consort.
0:04.1	I apologize for my absence yesterday, not to get too graphic, but I did wake up Thursday morning
0:08.8	a sweaty coughing feverish mess. Fortunately, today I woke up just a sweaty coughing mess,
0:15.2	but without much of a fever. So I think we can get through this. I'm going to give it a go. I think
0:20.3	we'll be okay. If I hack up along in the process of the show, don't be alarmed. I do have a second
0:25.3	live, a backup log. So I should be, I should be fine. I really want to do the show today because I,
0:31.4	I need to talk about the Democrats in Congress trying to pass, trying to revive, I should say,
0:37.0	the equal rights amendment. And you, you probably know one of my favorite pastimes is to debunk
0:43.6	the silliness of feminists. And there is nothing sillier than the equal rights amendment, silly being
0:50.1	a being one hell of an understatement here. Before we talk about this, something that you need to
0:56.4	understand, if you don't already, which I'm sure you do, is that feminism has become the most
1:01.6	vacuous, useless movement known to humanity. These women, these feminists are desperate to be
1:12.2	oppressed, but sadly for them, they live in the freest and most prosperous nation on earth.
1:17.3	Very unfortunate for them, such as their luck. They want to be oppressed, but they can't be because
1:24.0	they're free. And even in the context of, even within the context of this free and prosperous
1:29.8	nation, they are arguably among the freest and most prosperous inhabitants inside it. So,
1:36.2	but they can't abide this. They just can't. They want to be persecuted. They need to be persecuted.
1:40.9	And their greatest persecution really is that they aren't persecuted, but they can't say that.
1:45.6	So instead they go out looking for boogeymen to fight, which brings us to the equal rights amendment.
1:52.5	There was an attempt in the 70s to get this ratified, but it failed. Now Democrats are trying to
1:57.9	pick it up again. And they're trying to do it literally by picking up where they left off in
