Tax relief advocates. Real solutions for real people. This is Michael Knowles, host of The Michael Knowles Show. America has cattle. Quite a lot of cattle. We have ranchers. We have land. We have an entire cultural mythology built around cowboys. And yet, we're preparing to bring 300,000 metric tons of foreign ground beef into the country without the normal tariff. Bigger issue for consumers here is that once imported beef reaches the grocery store, you may not even know that that's what you're buying. With good ranchers, you do. Their meat is 100% American sourced from American farms and ranches and delivered directly to your door. No detective work required. It's the best beef you're going to get. I love it. I just adore the company. It is the main beef that I eat. All of their steaks are magnificent. And their Wagyu burgers are the best you'll ever get. And that's not even getting into their seed oil-free chicken nuggets, which are phenomenal. It's not even getting into the beef sticks and the sausages. Anyway, right now, your first order comes with a free four pound bundle of 100% American Angus ground beef. Go to goodranchers.com/wire. That's goodranchers.com/wire to claim your free four pound ground beef bundle. Good Ranchers American meat delivered.

The great state of Tennessee is about to execute its first female death row inmate in over 200 years this morning. And liberals are outraged that a woman would ever be held accountable for anything. No, I'm joking. They're outraged specifically because the woman was in her late teens when she committed this capital offense. Meanwhile, those very same liberals are calling for seven men's heads on a pike over an alleged rape that almost certainly they did not commit at Cornell when they were in their late teens and early 20s. We will get into double standards in law and order. Then, speaking of colleges, President Trump deals a brutal blow to the racket that is most higher education today. And Silicon Valley has renamed Artificial Intelligence for some reason. I'm Michael Knowles. This is The Michael Knowles Show.

Speaking of death and executions, a Tennessee woman is about to be executed for capital offense. First time Tennessee has executed a woman in over 200 years. The woman's name is Krista Pike. And the left is really upset about this. And there are all these last minute attempts to have this overturned and have a stay of the execution. You're hearing this largely from the left, but there are even some people on the right who don't want to see this execution. A lot of modern Catholics oppose capital punishment. And so they're saying this is wrong, this is terrible for all sorts of different reasons that we'll get into. But the chief argument that you're hearing in favor of stopping this execution is that the woman was only 18 years old when she committed the crime. That's the chief argument. Now she's much older because it takes forever to carry out the death penalty in the United States these days. Used to be pretty quick, now it takes decades. And they say, well, she committed the crime when she was 18, therefore she cannot be held responsible. And that's where the conversation stops. But it seems to me, before we adjudicate whether or not we think we should upend our system of law and order and stop this woman from being executed, let's at least figure out what exactly it was that she did when she was 18 years old. Christa Pike, along with her boyfriend, Tadaryl something or other, and their other friend, Shadala Peterson, lured a young woman out into the woods.
