ADDISON SMITH (HOST): I have said many times on this show that so many elected officials in the GOP are on the same train as Democrats, just a few rail cars behind. Whatever the Democrats are accepting, promoting, or endorsing now will be the popular position in GOP in five to ten years. If you don't believe me, just look at the Respect For Marriage Act that just passed, codifying same-sex marriage into federal law. Forty-seven Republicans voted for it. Forty-seven Republicans sided with the left on radically redefining what marriage has meant for all of human history until five minutes ago. Forty-seven Republicans decided to enshrine a radical redefinition of marriage that began with an objective overreach of the Supreme Court in 2015 through Obergefell. Before then it was understood that marriage is a union between one man and one woman because the purpose of marriage is to join together in a union for the purpose of procreation.

WILLIAM WOLFE (GUEST): The vote on the so-called Respect For Marriage Act, which I think after having studied the text of the bill should be more appropriately called the Destruction Of Marriage Act, was very telling.
It shows you that the sexual revolution has no breaks and that we're heading towards a cliff and Republicans like you say, just want to drive towards the cliff maybe 30 miles per hour slower than the Democrats do. It's fascinating to see how much our nation, our culture, and our elected officials have shifted on this issue in a matter of ten years when, compared to the rest of human history, marriage has always been understood to be the union of one man and one woman.
SMITH: The problem with Obergefell, like the problem with Roe v. Wade, is that it took away states' rights.
