MICHAEL KNOWLES (HOST): Not having kids is a major danger to your country. And it — this is where you get an expression from Victorian England that has come up through our present day, which is close your eyes and think of England. Just lie back, dear, and think of England. This is an expression that is said to women who don't want to sleep with their husbands, but, you know, they feel that it's a marital duty. They say, well, dear, just do your patriotic duty. Close your eyes and think of England.

Well, that's what we're telling people. We're saying, hey, guys. Close your eyes. Get rid of the contraception. Close your eyes and think of America. Do your patriotic duty. Make America great again. You gotta have babies. OK? It's your marital duty. It's your patriotic duty. It is fun. Like, let's not forget. It is like a fun thing to do. At least, I don't know. I'm a fella, so maybe the women have different views sometimes. But you gotta do it, folks. Close your eyes and think of America, and maybe you get five thousand bucks.
