[cheering and applause] >> greg: out of time. emily compagno, dave landau, kat timpf, tyrus, studio audience. "fox news at night" is next. i'm greg gutfeld, i love you, america. >> trace: good evening, i'm trace gallagher. 11:00 p.m. on the east coast, 8:00 in los angeles and this is america's late news, "fox news at night".

breaking tonight, president-elect trump now getting his highest approval rating yet and it comes just three days before he is sworn in as the nation's 47th president. onto numbers on what is expected to be the coldest inauguration day in 40 years -- hot numbers -- with a forecast showing windchill factor somewhere in the teens. that is not the only reason for a chill in the air. looks like former first lady michelle obama and former house speaker nancy pelosi are bowing out of the festivities. we will have a full report on that in moments but first, president biden just gave his final interview as president to msnbc and once again he appears to be forgetting a few things. >> the biggest thing that's changing is how we communicate with one another. all kidding aside, did you think we would get to the point where we weren't sure who the editors were? who's out there saying you can't print that? you can't say it's not true.

>> trace: funny he mentions that considering mark zuckerberg just revealed this... >> during the biden administration when they were trying to roll out the vaccine program. they pushed us super hard to take down things that were honestly true. these people from the biden administration would call up our team and, like, scream at them and curse. >> trace: censorship in other words. meantime the death toll of the devastating los angeles fires now at 27 and that number is expected to rise. as armed la homeowners now take it upon themselves to protect their burned-out neighborhoods from looters. we will have that story coming up. but first to the senior national correspondent kevin corke live in d.c. with more on the frigid festivities and a few cold shoulders expected at the inauguration. >> reporter: excellent writing as usual, thank you. it's not your typical inauguration weekend here in the

nation's capital that's for sure. first time in over 125 years in fact that the nation's capital will mark a former precedence returned to the white house and there's quite a lot to look forward to quite frankly over the next few days before the clock strikes noon on monday. yes, back to the capital, more back-and-forth and cabinet selections get the once over but that is all ahead of a very big weekend which will include a trump rally at the capital one arena. seats more than 20,000 and given that monday's inauguration will be the coldest in some 40 years, no doubt that will be a hot take it, no pun intended. on a on monday at noon the president-elect will again take the oath of office, cementing his place in history as just the second president to earn reelection after a four year break. of course there will be no shortage of heavy hitters there. among them, many tech titans including elon musk, jeff bezos, mark zuckerberg and the owner of tiktok. among those expected to take a

pass, you guessed it, former first lady michelle obama, former how speaker nancy pelosi, and new york congresswoman alexandra a cause he owed cortez. still, former "american idol" and country music star carrie underwood will be there. she's not only the most awarded country artist of all time, she's going to sing the national anthem and a lot of people are very happy about that. meantime tonight as you mention, president biden continued his farewell tour, telling msnbc that benjamin netanyahu and the israelis ought to be considerate of the opposition's concerns as they try to work out a peace deal. >> trace: i'm bringing a jacket, a big heavy jacket. >> you better. >> trace: kevin corke live in d.c., thank you. ♪ ♪ the "fox news @ night" common sense department found president biden's farewell speech to be as depressing as they come. if you did not see it, and many did not, he hit on two major themes.

first that his presidency was supreme, an enormous success. the way joe biden tells it, he and lincoln and roosevelt could be the oval office equivalent of the three musketeers. dynamic and dominating. then there was joe biden's other theme, a warning for americans to be very afraid of an oligarchic dystopia got replete with abuse of power, the downfall of democracy in the crumbling of the free press. he told americans it's their turn to "stand guard." common sense wonders why if joe biden's view of america is so dark and dire, why are americans so excited? new polling shows that 52% of americans approve of the trump transition. 56% expect trump to do a good job. and it's not just republicans looking for a bright spot. in june of 2021, 19% of democrats said they were falling behind financially. today it's 38%. that is double the number of

democrats feeling the pinch. joe biden's pinch. common sense remembers ronald reagan saying it was morning in america. for donald trump, it's high noon. a fight appears to be brewing and the next train out of town is waiting. for biden to board. let's bring in the host of the emily saves america podcast emily wilson and political commentator camryn kinsey. thank you for coming on. emily, i want to put this up on the screen because we've got numbers from cnn. this is views of biden's presidency. americans on how they view his presidency. failure 61% success 38%. maybe as common sense said biden might want to jump on that train sooner than later. >> i think a lot of americans are broke, upset about the border. i think is interview with joe rogan shed light on things we were told were true were actually ally and i think that woke people up. the way they respond to natural

disasters, look at the way he's responding to california. >> trace: it really is, it's one of those things where you should go out on a high note. it doesn't appear to be a high note. "the washington post" writes the following, as biden exits the stage, democrats are uncharacteristically quiet. going on to say, was such little clarity on what went wrong rather than soaring farewell tributes to biden, most democrats are focused on how to battle a second trump team -- term rather. a contrast to how they treated biden eight years ago when his tenure as vice president concluded. i mean when he dropped out of the race, they all applauded like he's the greatest. now he's leaving the presidency and appears to be crickets. >> absolutely. it's crazy how they are quiet with joe biden and his record but they've been louder than ever during the senate confirmation hearings with these trump nominees. they are quiet because they know that biden's policies were a complete and utter failure, which is also very crazy when he went on msnbc and said that he was way too focused on policy instead of politics.

but the policies that we saw were detrimental to everyday americans, the inflation, the illegal immigration like emily noted, coming across our border. there's actually hurt americans and so i'm very excited to see come the 20th when we get president trump and office, when we have those promises that are being capped. >> trace: amazing. i know you love numbers, emily, now to trump favourability. january of 2017 his favourability was 42%. now it's 50%. it seems like it's kind of a split thing but that is eight points hire then in 2017, also higher than bill clinton, george w. bush and joe biden. so he's got a little steam, a little wind at his back going into this. >> i'm very happy to see those numbers. i think a lot of people are. there's a huge jump recently i've noticed in honesty about being able to be a trump supporter. i think we were demonized and threaten for so long and i also think censorship was a huge part of that. i think mark was coming up

saying we were not honest about a lot of these things and we were pressured so to see those numbers is fantastic and i think his support is only going to grow from here. >> trace: a little time for some gossip so here we go. "the new york post" on michelle obama not attending the end curation. it writes, she isn't even giving an excuse for january 20th, the office of barack and michelle obama simply announce that michelle "will not attend the upcoming inauguration" and a source familiar with the obama circle told page 6 it's deliberate. she's never been fake and phony, she's always been deliberate about where and how she shows up. so much for when they go we go high. >> how will trump ever recover from this? it's absolutely ridiculous. this just goes to show democrats divisiveness. here we are as conservatives, you know, having the unity party, bringing in tulsi gabbard amongst others like rfk jr. this is the party that is supposed to be about tolerance

so this is very interesting coming from michelle obama. >> trace: it is interesting to say the least. emily wilson, camryn kinsey, thank you both. meantime the fire threat in southern california is now lower which is good news. the flames getting under control, but there are serious questions being raised about the dismal response by state and city leaders. christina coleman is live with more on the political fallout. >> reporter: yes, more than 150,000 people have signed a change.org petition calling for the immediate resignation of la mayor karen bass over what they describe as her gross mismanagement and failure to effectively respond to the devastating fires. this comes after the mayor left for ghana, even though there were warnings of increased fire risk for the upcoming week. there's also growing concern since the la fire chief spoke openly about cuts to the city's fire department budget. >> was the budget cut quake. >> it was and it did impact our ability to provide service.

we are screaming to be properly funded to make sure that our firefighters can do their jobs so that we can serve the community. >> reporter: the mayor says many mayors have reached out to her during this time. >> there number 1 advice to me was to stay focused, to not get distracted. for all of the reviews and analysis of what happened, watch, when and where, to make sure that you stay focused on saving lives. >> reporter: as some fight for new leadership in la, crews continue to fight the fires and a survey the extensive damage. we got new video from the california national guard today showing how they take to these guys, flying black hawk helicopters and other aircraft to do water drops over the fire zones. they are also carrying firefighters in addition to food, water and lots of equipment do hard-to-reach rugged terrain. >> we are able to sling that up in a cargo net and get it to where they are because they get

into remote areas were even sometimes they are not able to get to buy foot anymore. >> reporter: also we are expecting more gusty winds next week. >> trace: just what we need. thank you. at spring and calvary chapel senior founding pastor jack hibbs along with political commentator avery warwick. thank you for coming on. pastor, i want to play some of your sermon, it was on instagram, posted everywhere. it was great. this is kind of what you believe people need to know about the fires. here's a bit. watch. >> nobody can hide from this. nobody can hide from it. there's no excuses. this is the most wealthiest state in the 50. we pay the most in taxes, the most in gas, the most in electricity. you name it, if it's in california we pay the most for it. why? because of our government. >> trace: what do you say to those who say it's unusual for a pastor to take on political leaders in a fight like this? >> first of all what's amazing is that american history began

with the colonial father's preaching sermons that addressed issues just like that. we've gotten away from our founding so it's not unique what i did. in fact it's something that every church and every christian should be aware of the culture and of the issues that challenge them every day. >> trace: it got a lot of eyeballs and it got a lot of interest and we will talk more about that. meantime avery, you spoke to an la firefighter who wanted to remain anonymous, understand that. he said this to you "gavin saw musk at the command post and the fire department, live streaming with the battalion chief and called chp to get him the hell out of there, ordering the removal from the department. he brought 17 cybertruck filled with starlings, food and water. he was trying to help us and he was treated like blank." they desperately needed help at

this point in time. >> absolutely. it was heartbreaking, my conversation with various firefighters but specifically this one whistle-blower i'm in contact with periods main message he wants to get out there is that gavin newsom has prevented these firefighters from effectively doing their jobs by stepping in with these political nuances. and he said if we had more water in the pacific palisades, we could have saved more homes. they were able to save more homes in malibu because they did not run out of water in malibu but because the reservoir was empty, they ran out of water in the pacific palisades. >> trace: do you think, pastor, by firefighters speaking out, by people in your industry and religion speaking out, do you think this compels new changes in california, do you think we will see political landscape changes down the road? >> i have no doubt.

i saw those cyber trucks. we saw what was going on. people are upset, angry, and i think enough to make a difference when they vote. that's not a christian thing where you should stay out of bowden or not, the fact is the bible tells us when the righteous are in power the people will rejoice. when the rick -- wicked rule, people grown. california is groaning and i believe you will see democrats and republicans change their habits very soon. >> trace: i'm not sure if we have this full screen, this is part of the firefighter, about the fire hydrants. we don't have this full-screen for some reason but the firefighter also told you that it's not just the water that was low in these fire hydrants, it's a fact they were too far apart. the fact that they were broken, that some were missing. this thing was a mess going in and it had nothing to do with, at least on this front, the fact that the reservoir of 117 million gallons was empty. >> it was gross miss preparation.

he told me he was on a street in the pacific palisades. not only did he run out of water, which what a terrible situation to be in, but hydrants were too far apart. he said, you know, say they are 1000 feat apart and neighborhoods but these homes were of commercial size and this is not exact but they were 1500 feat apart. so they would have had to had an extra stick of hose to effectively fight the fires, but they could not because they had no water. >> trace: yeah. an impossible situation. ten seconds left. what would you like to add, what would you like people to know about what california is doing, what california did in the wake of the fire? >> because jesus christ is our hope, our church has been mobilized and it's reaching tremendous needs where the california national guard, they are in need, we are getting them socks of all things, helping them out. now is the time for people to put faith into action and stop talking about it.

>> trace: pastor jack hibbs, avery warwick, thank you for coming on. we've been in touch with the biden administration for this whole year and we have only been able to see traction in the past few weeks on this deal with the incoming president-elect trump and his team. engaging in the process and assisting the biden team and we are really hopeful that this new administration will be able to bring the deal to fruition. >> trace: breaking tonight, israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu says the deal to return hostages held by hamas in gaza has been reached. this follows what his office called a last-minute backtrack by hamas in finalizing cease-fire agreement. let's bring in a man who should soon be the u.s. ambassador to israel, former arkansas governor mike huckabee. great to have you on the show as always. you heard there and the

beginning, their son is being held hostage by hamas and they've clearly said listen, they have been fighting this and waiting and waiting and it really did not gain traction until president-elect trump got involved. i mean it's a big statement of confidence towards donald trump. >> well and rightfully so. by the way i got to meet the family on a flight to tel aviv not long after october seventh last year. they were going to try to get information about him. i met them, i've kept in touch with them through this past year. it breaks my heart when you sit down and talk to these families as i have done with thousands of them. you just realize that nothing is worse than not knowing what condition your loved one is in. we are 467 days. the tragedy is that this is longer then the iranian hostages of 1979 and the only thing that sort of broke the logjam was when donald trump clearly

stated, if these hostages are not released by the time i'm in office, they will have all hell to pay. people take him seriously and they should because he's not just talk, he's walk. i'm glad something is finally beginning to happen. >> trace: i wonder, i know there are some concerns because i've talked to rabbis and people in israel and i know there's concern among the population there that hamas will come back in and rearm and reattack. what assurances can we give the people of israel that that will not happen? >> the only assurances that we can expect hamas to break the deal at some point. israel not only has every right but when they do go back in and fully eradicate hamas, which they have to do, they will have the full support of the united states when donald trump's president. not that schizophrenic approach we've seen from the biden administration. on one day they would say they have to do whatever they have to

do to defend themselves and then would put more pressure on israel for a cease-fire than they did on hamas and their iranian funders to let the hostages go and stop the hostilities. the reason so many tragically dead people are in gaza right now among palestinians is because of hamas. it's not because israel started this, israel is trying to defend themselves against an enemy that even this week has said that their goal is still to destroy israel. you don't make peace with people like that. hamas is not a government, it's criminals, terrorists, thugs, they are savages and anything they say is not trustworthy. but i do understand the urgency to get the hostages out. the only thing you have to pray for is that these hostages getting out does not mean that there will be more hostages in the future because hamas feels they get rewarded for doing what they did. >> trace: former governor, soon-to-be ambassador, mike

huckabee, thank you for coming on the show, we appreciate it. >> thank you, trace. >> trace: coming up, more from biden's final interview as president. and later in the nightcap, president-elect trump reportedly considering an executive order that would suspend a band of tiktok for a few months. what do you think? should trump be fighting to keep tiktok or should he stand down and let tiktok disappear? coming up later we've got two very well known influencers on tiktok. bo loudon one of them. let us know what you think. x and instagram @tracegallagher, we will read your responses coming up in the nightcap. ♪ ♪ ♪ vicks vapostick provides soothing non-medicated vicks vapors. easy to apply for the whole family. vicks vapostick. and try new vaposhower max for steamy vicks vapors. long after guests leave, viruses and bacteria linger.

>> trace: breaking information coming into "fox news at night" just days before thousands of americans shuffle into the nation's capital. her car was seen plunging into the potomac river off of the arlington memorial bridge. emergency crews and dive teams brought the victims to sure and we will bring you updates on their condition as we get them. the arlington bridge has been shut down. officials say they do not know when it will reopen, as if things were not busy enough in the nation's capital this weekend. also breaking tonight, some dramatic video. it was an explosion of an elon musk owned starship rocket caught on camera. look at that. the debris spotted in the sky after what space x called a rapid unscheduled disassembly. the company lost contact with starship just eight and a half minutes after takeoff for a test flight in which the craft was supposed to soar across the gulf of mexico on a near loop around the world. musk posting to x "success is

uncertain but entertainment is guaranteed." bring you updates on those stories as we get them. i really am concerned. about how fragile democracy is. that sounds corny but i really am concerned because you've heard me say it a hundred times, i think we are in an inflection point. things are going to change drastically. >> trace: in his last few days in office president biden has struck a decidedly dark tone, warning the nation about the alleged threat in becoming an oligarchy and creeping tech industrial complex. let's bring in our insigne greater -- rnc -- emily austin along with seattle talk radio host jason rantz, thank you for coming on. emily, you just heard joe biden talking to msnbc tonight about

democracy. it seems strange to me because you had mark zuckerberg coming up saying the biden administration was trying to censor us, they were trying to censor us and yet he keeps talking about others assaulting democracy. it doesn't make any sense. >> first of all it was very brave of mark to admit that biden tried to censor meta users at the administration's discretion but then it's ironic to hear joe biden constantly repeat himself that trump is the biggest threat to the free press. not only has trump not been a threat but he's only enabled people like elon musk and encouraged people to promote more free-speech. elon musk single-handedly restored the free-speech on twitter and despite the nasty vendetta that the media has always had towards trump, he's remained transparent about his agendas and policies no matter what they have continued to do to him though they should be acknowledging that he's promoting the free-speech but instead it's like they are reversing the blame. >> trace: it's interesting

jason rantz because a lot of people said that his speech last night, his farewell speech was dark and dire, many said it was delusional, but man the media. the media loved it. watch this. >> this is important because he is essentially deciding not to brag on the way out about what he did. it put a chill down my spine. >> a speech for the history books. >> one of the best beaches i've heard joe biden gift. >> a love letter to the country. a lasting speech. >> deeply personal. you saw the photos of the family sitting behind president biden. >> trace: my favorite is a love letter to the country. this dystopian future of america is a love letter to the country. >> it was the most inspiring speech in the history of inspiring speeches telling us about how we are all doomed because of all of these oligarchs who suddenly i guess are giving money to donald trump and not the billion dollars that were given to kamala harris which i guessed came from every day average people. it is so ludicrous. however i was thinking about

this earlier today. the next four years they are not going to do anything but attack a president and so this was their last opportunity to do nothing but just kiss the backside of the outgoing president. the only thing that they are going to be doing outside of attacking trump is probably for the next year or so rewrite history and make comparisons between biden's first year and the first year of the trump administration. so this is just there i don't know their swan song i suppose. >> trace: yeah. meantime cnn is not about to let trump dismantle free press. >> we are not the enemy of the people, we are the defenders of the people. walter cronkite once said freedom of the press is not just important to democracy, it is democracy. i want to take a moment to show you something. a woman sent me this sign eight years ago. >> trace: is there a bigger, emily, anti-trump self-serving,

you know, journalist out there than this guy? >> really there isn't. there's a lot of them out there but he has to be one of the top. it's so ironic to me going back to last segments point, talking about free-speech and defender of free-speech. let me remind everyone, biden called half of america the garbage people while trump was becoming the most relatable president out there, literally getting in garbage trucks, almost making a mockery of joe biden's insulting and yet they are always attacking the wrong person, always attacking donald trump no matter what he does good or bad. >> trace: lastly i want to play this, a little uplifting, former presidents and their farewell speech is, watch. >> my friends, we did it, we weren't just marking time, we made a difference. we made the city stronger, we made the city for your, and we left her in good hands. >> as for me, i will leave the

presidency more idealistic and full of hope in the day i arrived. >> i have confidence in the promise of america because i know the character of our people. >> i leave this stage tonight even more optimistic about this country then when we started. >> trace: kind of a biden bomber last night when he left. about 15 seconds, jason. >> i'm feeling optimistic and i think a lot of people are despite the fact that we got that speech last night. i think like so many other americans we watched it or listened to it and said i just don't care. i don't care what joe biden has to say or the twentysomething staff at the white house whose just angry at the world and what they have to say because they are the ones who wrote speech. >> trace: jason rantz, emily austin, thank you. finally some good news out of los angeles tonight. red flag warnings have expired and when the santa ana winds to return early next week, they are expected to be like. or at least lighter. matt finn is back on the ground in altadena tonight.

>> reporter: trace, you know more then a week after these fires began, people are trying to get back onto their properties and sadly when many people do return home they are going to see scenes like this. today the la county sheriff says it will be at least another week until many people can return home. our cruise out here in the altadena and palisades area have seen law enforcement and surgeon rescue crews conducting the painstaking task of combing through more than 10,000 burned-out structures. the worst part is they are finding more bodies. the death toll is increasing and some three dozen people are still reported missing. we've also seen teams flagging lots that have pools or basements so people don't fall through the debris. and here in altadena we talked to a 98-year-old woman, irene, and her son. they were able to see their property and tell us not even a fork survived. here's irene and her son.

>> a lot of prayers so at least i'm alive. >> we are praying and hoping that together we can find a way to be able to get her house back together again and that will be a lot of prayers because we don't think we have insurance to cover it all. >> reporter: some good news we can report, very calm conditions over the past two days in the altadena area. firefighters are gaining ground on both the eaton fire and the palisades fire. it's expected to remain calm over the next couple of days. the santa ana winds are expected to pick back up early next week. >> trace: good news. matt finn in altadena, thank you. coming up, the supreme court dealing with some major cases including whether a law requiring age verification to access online pornography should stand. a pastor and author who was once part of that industry will join us live. and what will the court allow a controversial tiktok band, really go into effect or will president-elect trump intervene? those stories coming up next. ♪ ♪

♪ ♪ >> trace: the incoming president reportedly considering an executive order that would save tiktok from a u.s. ban that is scheduled to begin on sunday. let's bring in content creator conner mather along with conservative gen z influencer and barren trump's best friend bo loudon, thank you for coming on. honor to you first, you've got 1.8 million followers on tiktok. clearly you have some motivation to keep this thing going but what is your argument, why aside from your followers should tiktok remain on band? >> first thank you for having me on. i guess i'm a little biased because i am a creator and benefit from the app but more importantly, there are over 5 million small businesses that use tiktok as of 2024 and hundreds of thousands of creators that rely on it as a place of free-speech to express

themselves. it's not just a place for funny videos, but it's become almost a new google for at least gen z. everybody uses it now, whether it's to look up the best way to wash your car or anything. it's beyond just entertainment and so i think, you know, given that there's, you know, given that trump is looking to save it, i think we should extend the ban at least by 90 days and see if we can exercise that. >> trace: and bo loudon, the president has said look, we brought you on before because you and barron trump, you pushed for these things like joe rogan interviews and the president has said tiktok helped him get elected. so what is your argument for making sure we keep it? >> well, you know, trace, i'm getting ready to head out to the an alteration for the greatest president in american history with my boy colby covington. i think people like colby and

president trump hopping on a platform like tiktok and making it so much better than any other social media platform is all the more reason why trump should try to save it. i'm all for the idea about elon purchasing or kevin o'leary, people like that buying this platform and saving it and making tiktok great again. i think it's very necessary and i think trump has 15 million reasons to have a soft spot for tiktok because he had 15 million followers on there and 4 billion views and likes. he was killing it on there. it truly did help them win the election. it shows that we don't need cnn and msnbc and all of these news networks. the new media giving trump a platform on tiktok and i think it's great and i think we should certainly look into saving it. >> trace: thank you for keeping us in the mix as one of the ones that are relevant. i have to go very quickly for both of you, do you worry about the negative impact great there's a lot of talk about the

chinese government getting information from americans, from tiktok. do you worry about that at all, you think it is something we can overcome? >> absolutely. i definitely understand both sides of the argument. i'm not going to say this isn't an issue that we should worry about, it absolutely is. last i heard, the cia has no evidence that our user data has actually been compromised and, you know, sent to china so, you know, if that's not the case yet, i think it's absolutely reasonable we figure out a solution to keep it and preserve it for a hundred 70 million americans that use the app. >> trace: i've got 20 seconds for you, give me your last thought on this. >> 100% i think the chinese are super involved. i think there's a lot of censorship amongst conservatives on the platform. my buddy bryce hall who you guys had on, he witnessed a lot of censorship on his videos and his content so i think definitely it needs to be taken care of and we need proper leaders running that

platform and making a great again. >> trace: bo loudon, conner mather, thank you both. the supreme court heard arguments on wednesday and is now considering a case out of texas about the legality of age verification laws for accessing online pornography. let's bring in preacher and author joshua broome. great to have you on the show. the texas law that requires pornography sites to implement reasonable age verification methods. is that sufficient or is it not enough? what is your thought on that? >> i think any barrier to entry is better than no barrier to entry. we look at movies, alcohol, tobacco, all of these things are regulated because you need to be old enough to make a conscious decision to consume those things. i think the free-speech coalition is making this a first amendment issue. in contrast we should be saying what should we do to protect children because at the end of the day, like, that's the conversation. >> trace: and i'm wondering

because you were in the pornography world and you left that world. you are helping others that are trying to leave or want to leave. what do you tell them when you say listen, you need to get out of this and here's why you need to get out. >> i mean for me i'm an anomaly. i'm married, four kids. i gave my life to something that mattered more than myself, which for me was jesus, and that was ten years ago. for me i have a life that i'm proud of but for 40 people who were my friends that i knew closely that either tied up suicide or overdose, so for the people who are making money back that was my story, i made millions of dollars, i had a lot of success for the six years i was in the industry but it did not feel filmy. i found i was even more broken and it amplified my anxiety and deepened my depression. the people in the industry, regardless of the money, just because you could, just because you can doesn't mean you should. there's gifts and talents and passions, there's something that

you are somewhat tapping into because maybe there is something, you know, to be on camera or a communicator, there is something in you that you are tapping into but you are pointing in the wrong direction because we can have a different conversation around should sex work be a thing. i would argue no. but i think that's not the conversation we are happening. we are having a conversation around is pornography something that 18-year-olds and younger should be able to see, and the answer -- the neuroscience tells us know. 50% of sexual assault is committed by children and those are the ones watching pornography. we don't get to this place without pornography being actually damaging. 37 states have implemented some kind of legislation, 19 states have passed it. depending on what happens in taxes. tennessee is waiting on what happens in texas. a lot going on. >> trace: joshua broome, great to have you on the show, thank
