that is something i suppose. good evening, welcome to the next revolution . we are pro-worker, pro-family, pro-community especially pro-america. for once chuck todd had it right this morning. we now know that donald trump s 2016 election, which gave him three supreme court pics all who voted to overturn roe is easily the most consequential ever in our nations history. steve: a hugely consequential week for america as we saw two landmark rulings from the supreme court on guns and abortion. these are the most divisive issues in our country. people have deeply held views that go to the court, the identity, the humidity, their faith. the truth about these rulings even though they do have immediate real-world consequences is there less about the issues themselves and more about how and crucially where we make decisions about the issues. my personal views are abortion and guns are pretty mainstream according to the polls. you may agree with them and you may not. i m one american
