00:00:37.780 It's my third cousin once removed Hillary Clinton's birthday. I was unaware that Hillary was begotten
00:00:44.420 rather than created, as a friend of mine said he saw her fall like lightning from heaven. But we'll
00:00:49.140 celebrate the big day by counting our blessings this year. Then PragerU CEO Marissa Streit comes

00:01:13.280 shouldn't exist. Finally, your most pressing questions are answered in the mailbag.
00:01:18.140 I'm Michael Knowles. This is The Michael Knowles Show.
00:01:28.240 We have a lot to get to today. I obviously want to wish my cousin Hillary Clinton a proper happy
00:01:32.960 birthday. But first, we really need to count our blessings because we have sponsors. We have people
00:01:38.460 who keep the lights on. This isn't real. I know. It doesn't feel like, it feels like the universe
00:01:42.060 shouldn't exist. Just like this. But nevertheless, they're very nice. They help us keep the lights
00:01:46.840 on. And it's a fabulous product. I am talking, of course, about Ring. Now, you might have seen Ring
00:01:52.840 before. I, I'm not a cool guy, but some of my friends are cool guys. And all of my cool guy friends
00:01:58.520 have this doorbell that has a video camera in it. So you ring the bell and then it's zapped right to
00:02:04.580 your phone. So even if you're not in the house, you can be in the house and you see who's at the
00:02:08.300 door and talk to them and whatever. Or you can be at your office or you can be at the store or you
00:02:13.440 can be sitting on the beach. And it's, it's a new technology for the 21st century. And what their
00:02:19.420 mission is, is to make neighborhoods safer. So it's really like a neighborhood watch for the 21st
00:02:24.660 century, a home security system for the 21st century. They have their, this classic technology,
00:02:30.020 the video doorbell. Over a million people are using that right now to help protect their
00:02:34.560 homes. But Ring also knows that home security begins at the front door, but it doesn't end at
00:02:39.960 the front door. So they have the new level, that same level of security in their Ring floodlight
00:02:45.960 cam. So, you know, you go up to someone's house, you probably know this, especially the Michael
00:02:49.720 Knowles show audience, when you're trying to break into people's houses, that, that cam goes,
00:02:53.600 or rather that light goes on and catches you because it's motion, it detects motion. That's what this
00:02:59.440 does, except there's a camera in it. It's immediately uploaded to the cloud. You can have a peace of
00:03:03.940 mind and know that your house and your family and your possessions are safe because you can see
00:03:09.440 who's trying to break in. You can see and speak to visitors. You can set off an alarm right from
00:03:14.040 your phone. When things go bump in the night, you'll immediately know what that is, whether
00:03:18.260 you're home or away. The floodlight cam lets you keep an eye on your home from anywhere. So it is the
00:03:25.180 ultimate in home security protection. It's, it's, you know, highly visible floodlights, HD camera.
00:03:30.900 It's all, you know, very high technology. And with Ring, you're always at home. You don't need
00:03:36.500 to worry about it. You don't need to worry, tell your neighbor, Hey, check on my house for me. Hey,
00:03:40.480 make sure nothing goes wrong. You can see it just right on your phone right now for our listeners
00:03:45.280 and our viewers. Ring is offering one up to $150 off their Ring security kit. If you go to ring.com
00:03:53.260 slash Knowles, that's K N O W L E S ring.com slash Knowles. Go there right now. You know,
00:04:01.580 they did, they did a study in LA. They gave a bunch of Ring technology to a sort of seedy
00:04:06.460 neighborhood. Within six months, there was a 55% reduction in home burglaries. At least go and
00:04:12.300 check it out right now. I think you're going to be convinced ring.com slash Knowles, save some money
00:04:17.680 and keep your home and your neighborhood safe. Okay. Now let's get into my cousin, Hillary Clinton's
00:04:23.160 birthday. This is obviously a special day. I brought in just a little, a little something
00:04:28.560 to celebrate it. Um, here we go. We didn't have a cake in the office. So I, I, I'm using a Newton bar.
00:04:35.660 Let's just get that lit. Okay. Happy birthday to you. Happy birthday to you. Happy birthday,
00:04:45.720 Mrs. Never, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever going to be president. Happy birthday to you.
00:04:54.360 Happy birthday, Hillary. Let's just do a little recap of this year for Hillary Clinton. I hope my
00:04:58.940 hair is still okay. After my Marilyn Monroe win. It looks good. Okay, good. Thank you. I knew it.
00:05:04.020 It's just been that kind of year. Uh, Hillary Clinton is not president. That's a pretty good
00:05:07.460 thing. Uh, the book she wrote, blaming Russian interference for not being president, sold about
00:05:12.180 as many physical copies as my completely blank book, making fun of her political party released
00:05:17.600 during her, uh, during her campaign or slightly after. Now we have learned that that Russian narrative
00:05:22.600 is actually the reverse. It was the Democrats who were colluding with foreigners, including with
00:05:28.260 links to Russia to interfere in our electoral process. And conservatives have never had a stronger
00:05:33.620 voice in the media or culture. Proving my point is my guest in studio, Marissa Streit,
00:05:40.100 the CEO of Prager University. Marissa, thanks for coming. It is so great to be here.
00:05:44.980 This story that PragerU is suing YouTube, suing Google, it might be my favorite story in the news.
00:05:51.060 And there's a lot of competition here. Why are you suing Google? So we're suing them because what
00:05:55.860 they're doing is obviously wrong. Um, and just for people, I think everyone in the conservative
00:06:00.900 movement is aware of this. YouTube is banning your videos. Right. So we have about 250 videos,
00:06:08.260 one fifth of our portfolio. Uh, that's 50 videos are being either restricted or demonetized by YouTube
00:06:15.220 and Google. They just, which ones? Nobody knows why. Well, some of them, it's, it's not like these are
00:06:21.700 violent videos. These are pretty, these are five minute explainer videos on perfectly interesting
00:06:27.700 topics. And when they restrict it, you can't see them in universities and in high schools, right?
00:06:33.620 Right. So that's how we found out that the videos were restricted because some of our college students
00:06:38.340 started emailing us saying, Hey, did you take down that video that I saw last night? Where are they?
00:06:43.620 And we're like, no, we didn't take it down. So we started looking into it and they, we found out that
00:06:47.540 they were on restricted mode. So is there any explanation? Have they offered you any explanation
00:06:52.820 as to why they're, they allow these topics to be talked about on the left? They're all over YouTube.
00:06:57.620 They allow crazy content all on YouTube, but sober videos explaining facts about academic subjects.
00:07:04.900 That that's not allowed. I mean, think about the crazy content that's on YouTube. That's exactly how
00:07:08.820 I produce a lot of it. I know it's crazy that ours is. Um, and it's, um, Alan Dershowitz has done a video
00:07:15.380 for us on Israel's legal founding. He called me a few weeks ago at, as we started discussing this
00:07:20.420 case, cause he's involved in, uh, in a suing. And he said to me, Marissa, I mean, what's going on?
00:07:25.220 Does YouTube think that I'm like super attractive, pornographic? I was like, Alan, don't you worry.
00:07:31.220 Maybe Dennis Prager. Yeah. Yeah. Alan Dershowitz is many things. He's not pornographic or sensual.
00:07:36.900 Yeah, no. I mean, they clearly hover over our channel because oftentimes videos are restricted
00:07:41.540 within any, within the hour and they just, you know, press the button and they decide that
00:07:46.420 that video is ideologically inappropriate and therefore should be restricted.
00:07:50.420 Are they going to restrict my video?
00:07:52.580 You know, it's pretty shocking that they haven't restricted it yet. You might not be as attractive
00:07:57.780 as Alan Dershowitz. I'm really upset. Alan Dershowitz is much more sensuous than I am.
00:08:02.820 Beautiful.
00:08:05.220 I did. Well, I did this video for Prager. You just came out today. And I love that this is all in the news
00:08:10.340 now that you guys are taking on Google. Is there some worry? Because I've, I've heard some conservatives
00:08:15.620 say, well, Google is a private company. It's a, they can do what they want. It's not a free speech
00:08:20.660 issue. Why are they wrong? Well, first of all, Google defines itself as a public forum, right? It,
00:08:27.460 its mission is to aggregate and make the world's information useful. So it's not only that we're saying
00:08:33.380 that they're the biggest vehicle of communications of today and possibly of all times, right? They are saying
00:08:39.620 it as well. And they're claiming that that's what they are. So yes, they're a private company,
00:08:44.740 but so are shopping malls, right? So what shopping malls are going to say, well,
00:08:48.020 no conservatives can walk in here. No shop, you know, no shops owned by conservatives. Obviously,
00:08:53.940 that's discrimination. So private companies are also, you know, they also have to abide by
00:08:59.380 discrimination laws. And this is not just some little lawsuit that's going to make the news and be
00:09:03.940 thrown out. You've got some pretty heavy hitters who are behind this thing. Yes. So Governor Pete
00:09:08.740 Wilson, former governor of California, has come to us. It was actually his idea to just put the
00:09:13.780 foot on the gas and actually sue. Because honestly, little PragerU, I mean, we're not that little
00:09:18.500 anymore and we're getting much bigger. It's one of the biggest forces on the right. We're talking
00:09:21.460 about Google here. It's Goliath, right? So Governor Wilson was the one who said, listen,
00:09:25.940 you have to take it on. I mean, it's forgotten country. Somebody has to do it. Just make it happen.
00:09:31.620 And he's been basically the force behind the legal team. What are you hoping to get out of it? Do you
00:09:38.820 think, is this just a stunt or is this winnable? I hope it's winnable because if it's not winnable,
00:09:46.900 conservatives are going to lose the internet as they have lost universities. So this is a pretty
00:09:51.940 big deal. I mean, we see what's happening on universities today. Can you imagine that Google
00:09:56.100 owns the internet? I mean, the way, or that the left owns the internet the way the left owns the
00:10:02.100 university. That's a pretty big deal. So we intend on doing whatever we can to win this.
00:10:06.740 Because I've been thrilled at, for so long, conservatives were kept out of the culture,
00:10:11.140 kept out of cultural institutions, publishing in New York, Hollywood, the entertainment industry.
00:10:16.900 And then there's the internet. And then there's this wild west. And conservatives are so much funnier on
00:10:22.100 the internet. There is no comparison. When I think of the left on the internet, I think of that meme of
00:10:27.940 Sandra Fluke and she's frowning. It's like, that's not funny. Wah, wah, wah. But conservatives have a
00:10:32.820 great time. You get Steve Crowder, you get all of these great voices out there. And same thing with
00:10:39.220 academic stuff. So the universities are completely hostile to conservatives. They fire professors who are
00:10:48.100 not completely left-wing Democrats. They're still Democrats, but they're not far enough left.
00:10:53.140 They're punishing students. They're censoring speech. They're kicking Shapiro off because he's the
00:11:00.020 scariest Jewish neo-Nazi in the country, according to them. At least we have Prager University. You can go,
00:11:05.940 you can get these five minute educational videos. You can actually learn something.
00:11:10.180 Is that why they're going after us there? Is it because they see this is our, this is our chance to have
00:11:14.900 a cultural impact? Well, we're obviously very effective. You know, we're obviously very effective.
00:11:20.100 16% of our viewership said that they changed the way they voted in the last election. That's a pretty
00:11:24.980 big deal. Wow. You know, we have over a million subscribers on YouTube alone. Obviously, Google
00:11:31.140 was paying attention to us. So we're obviously very effective. And they're trying to prevent us from
00:11:35.860 reaching that very young audience that we're trying to reach. So that's the battle here, right? I mean,
00:11:40.740 they wouldn't be picking us on us if we weren't successful and effective, which by the way,
00:11:45.860 there are tons of copycats out there on YouTube that download our videos and re-upload them. And
00:11:52.260 I'll let you guess, they are not restricted. So they're making money off the PragerU videos that we make
00:11:59.860 because, you know, obviously YouTube is not paying attention to them. Should I not be doing that?
00:12:04.420 Marshall needs a side hustle because we don't pay him anything here. That is astounding because we're
00:12:09.540 talking about the exact same content. The content. The content is downloaded
00:12:16.180 by other channels and uploaded and is monetized and not restricted, but on our channel. So clearly,
00:12:23.780 it's not an algorithm. Some people out there might be thinking, well, it's an algorithm or whatever.
00:12:30.100 No, it's not only clearly not an algorithm because of the copycats, but they have,
00:12:34.500 after we have launched our petition and we had, you know, close to 300,000 signatures on it,
00:12:40.420 YouTube has started responding to us. And they said, well, we'll review your content. And in fact,
00:12:45.220 we have reviewed your content. And once reviewing your content, we decided that they should be
00:12:50.420 restricted. So it's not an algorithm. It's not community. Yes. It's not community, you know,
00:12:56.100 flagging. They have admitted that in writing. And that's when we decided to sue because we're like,
00:13:00.740 wait, wait a second. You know, this is obviously discrimination. It's a violation of contract.
00:13:05.300 Absolutely. That now, so you've got a million subscribers on YouTube. They know who you are.
00:13:09.620 You're one of the biggest channels on YouTube, 250 videos. Do you know how many views you have?
00:13:14.020 Because I know most of, most of these videos get a million views at least.
00:13:17.620 Right. So it depends on the video. We've had a video that has gone so viral that it had 53 million
00:13:24.180 views. That was the video in the electoral college. And we have some videos that reach about 2 million
00:13:30.260 views. The average viewership in total between our website, YouTube, and Facebook, of course,
00:13:36.740 is about 2 to 3 million viewers a day. Two to 3 million viewers a day. And the left just can't
00:13:41.620 abide that. That is just too many viewers, too many people changing their votes away from my cousin,
00:13:46.580 Hillary Clinton. Way too conservative for that. All right. Well, she's dangerous. We got to get
00:13:50.980 her out of here, Marshall. Marissa, thank you for being here. I love it. I'll be eating popcorn
00:13:57.300 when I read every single news article about this lawsuit. Thanks, Marissa. Thanks.
00:14:01.540 All right. We have to move on. We have so much in the news today. So, you know, before we move on,
00:14:08.180 I will say, well, I did this PragerU video today. So let's just play a quick little cut of that. You
00:14:13.700 can see the whole thing on YouTube. What is the alt-right? Everybody has an opinion about it,
00:14:21.460 but nobody seems to know exactly what it is. So I took it upon myself to find out. I took a deep dive
00:14:27.540 into alt-right culture. I read their books, listened to their podcasts, watched their videos,
00:14:32.900 followed their blogs, and spoke personally to their leaders. Here's what I learned. First,
00:14:38.660 they're really small. Like your high school reunion small. That big national alt-right gathering in
00:14:44.740 Charlottesville in August 2017? Yeah, that attracted all of about 600 people. And that's on the high
00:14:51.060 end of estimates. And that infamous torch rally on the evening of August 11th? There were maybe 100
00:14:57.220 tiki torch carriers. But however small it is, the alt-right does have a belief system,
00:15:02.740 a worldview. It's right there in their name. The alt in alt-right means alternative. The alt-right is an
00:15:10.260 alternative to American conservatism. So it's no surprise then that the alt-right has far more in
00:15:16.100 common with the left, another alternative to conservatism, than it does with the traditional
00:15:21.060 American right. This goes on for a while. If you want to learn what the alt-right actually is,
00:15:25.220 and we delve into what it is, and also if you want to see me compare the entire left to a handful of
00:15:32.020 neo-Nazis for four minutes, I suggest you go check it out on YouTube. Really amazing stuff,
00:15:37.460 though. We'll see when that gets demonetized and restricted by YouTube, of course. That's when I
00:15:42.980 get fired, right? That is exactly when you get fired. That's right. Now let's bring on our panel,
00:15:47.860 because I want all the panel on to talk about the news today. We have a great panel from the YouTubes.
00:15:52.100 Speaking of them, we have Red Pill Black Candace Owens. We have Amanda Presta Giacomo from The Daily
00:15:58.500 Wire. And we have Jacob Airy, who we found muttering to himself on the sidewalk. Thank you all for being
00:16:04.660 here. In the news is Ashley Judd. She always finds her way back into the news. Here is Ashley Judd
00:16:11.220 screaming about Donald Trump and sexual assault. I am a nasty woman.
00:16:21.540 I'm not as nasty as a man who looks like he bathes in Cheeto dust. And I didn't know devils could be
00:16:30.020 resurrected. But I feel Hitler in these streets. A mustache traded for a toupee. Nazis renamed the
00:16:42.260 cabinet electro conversion therapy. The new gas chambers shaming the gay out of America, turning
00:16:51.300 rainbows into suicide notes. I am not as nasty as racism, fraud, conflict of interest, homophobia,
00:17:02.820 sexual assault. Wow. She's so fired up against sexual assault. She, uh, you know, now that Harvey
00:17:09.540 Weinstein has been accused by a gazillion women of doing things much, much worse than what Donald Trump
00:17:15.700 is accused of, she must've really just laid right into him, right? What would you say to Harvey
00:17:20.260 Weinstein today? What I would say to Harvey is, I love you and I understand that you are sick and
00:17:26.900 suffering and there is help for a guy like you too. I, I, I love you. I, she, what would you say to a guy
00:17:37.940 like Harvey Weinstein? I love you. Oh my goodness. Red, pale, black. Why did Ashley have that, that
00:17:46.020 incredible change of heart? You know, what better way to celebrate Hillary Clinton's birthday than
00:17:51.700 with another woman who completely slaughtered feminism? I mean, this is why nobody likes feminism.
00:17:58.580 You're under a pussy hat saying that you hate Donald Trump. And then you simultaneously are telling people
00:18:04.180 that you love Harvey Weinstein. They're absolutely, they've absolutely just lost their minds. It's, it's
00:18:08.100 amazing to watch. By the way, she sounds like she's at a Baptist church when she's giving that speech
00:18:12.660 earlier. Oh, I know. But not, but then she sounds really somber when she's talking about the guy that
00:18:17.380 she knows, the guy in show business. There's this huge change. Amanda, it's often said that feminists let
00:18:23.860 Democrats off the hook for this kind of stuff because Democrats are pro-abortion. That's the only issue
00:18:29.220 women should care about. They're pro-abortion. We'll sweep Bill Clinton's sexual harassment, sexual assault,
00:18:33.780 under the rug. Why, why is abortion the big issue? What is that? Like, why do the Democrats
00:18:39.780 have this sacramental view of abortion? Yeah, I think it's, uh, because, because feminism has kind
00:18:46.740 of morphed into, um, you know, sameness. So it's just like avoid, like there can be no differences
00:18:53.460 between men and women. So that those biological differences where women are, you know, they have
00:18:58.260 children, like that happens. They want to just negate any differences possible. And abortion kind of helps
00:19:03.700 that, right? Like you don't have to have children, um, stay in the workforce, don't be a stay at home
00:19:08.260 mom. There's all these signals to kind of reject any femininity, reject anything, um, reject biology
00:19:14.740 even. So that's why abortion is so important to them. And they're willing to overlook, you know, guys
00:19:19.460 like Weinstein, guys like Bill Clinton, because they'll promote abortion. I mean, Weinstein was the
00:19:24.100 biggest feminist in Hollywood. Um, and, and, and, you know, Ashley Judd was, was personally
00:19:29.300 affected by him. Apparently she said that, you know, in a hotel room 20 years ago, he came on to
00:19:33.780 her and then she basically said that she would sleep with him after she won an Oscar to get out of it.
00:19:38.820 Um, you know, and, and that's all well and good. She didn't warn any other girls, nothing else happened.
00:19:44.020 But, you know, someone says hi to her in the airport and she goes on a, you know, Facebook live
00:19:48.500 rant and loses her darn mind. So she's, her feminism is about as real as Pam Anderson's breasts. It's
00:19:54.260 just, it's a joke. You also make the excellent point that Harvey Weinstein is the biggest feminist
00:20:01.140 in Hollywood, right? That is what a feminist looks like. This is what a feminist looks like,
00:20:05.220 an overweight, disgusting sexual assailant. Jacob, when you play those clips back to back,
00:20:11.380 is that evidence? Does that suggest that Ashley Judd was just performing with her rant about Donald
00:20:18.340 Trump and the sexual assault? Or do they really not understand this cognitive dissonance? Do they
00:20:24.260 really not realize that Harvey Weinstein is a much more vicious sexual assailant than anything
00:20:30.980 Donald Trump's been accused of? I think that she was doing a performance because she doesn't like
00:20:35.940 President Trump. They did the same thing to Bush, calling him a war criminal and says that he murders
00:20:41.860 people and that he wants to wipe out Muslims and they're just doing the same exact thing to Trump.
00:20:46.420 And then it's like, when it's one of their own, all of a sudden it clicks in, oh, we should be
00:20:50.420 compassionate. We should be merciful. No, this guy is an alleged scumbag and he should be treated as such.
00:20:59.380 I agree. I absolutely agree. We have to move on from this. We've talked so much about Weinstein,
00:21:04.180 but I couldn't miss one more shot at Ashley Judd. In the realm of science, according to a recent
00:21:09.380 scientific study, which is apparently 350 times more precise than previous studies of matter,
00:21:16.420 antimatter, and the origin of the universe. According to this study, the universe comprises
00:21:21.460 equal parts matter and antimatter. The trouble there is that those two should annihilate each
00:21:26.420 other in general and in particular to fuel the starship enterprise. So the universe shouldn't
00:21:31.860 exist. Amanda, why does the universe exist? Just a quick question for a Thursday afternoon.
00:21:39.460 Just a simple softball question. You got this, Amanda.
00:21:41.380 Well, this is, I mean, this is going to, you know, a lot of people on the left right now are,
00:21:46.340 I mean, they're, they're going to be really confused by this, right? Because there's going to be,
00:21:50.500 they need some explanation for this. It can't be some other higher being. It cannot be religion. It
00:21:55.860 cannot be any sort of thing that they can't touch or know about. So it's causing a lot of problems on
00:22:02.100 the left. I think people on the right are kind of like, that makes sense. You know, like that,
00:22:06.260 that would make sense. A lot of things we don't know the answers to. And that kind of fuels kind of
00:22:10.740 how we have this reverence to some higher power. So I can't give you a straight answer to that,
00:22:17.220 but I know that people on the right are not very confused by this. And people on the left
00:22:22.180 are going to, you know, pour some money into more scientific research because they need the answer.
00:22:26.820 I guess that is the point. People on the right are not confused. When you bring
00:22:30.420 some crazy coincidence that happened, when you bring that statement to a Christian,
00:22:35.860 you say, you won't believe it. This happened, and then this happened, and this fell out of the sky,
00:22:38.980 and this happened. Most Christians, they'll just say, yep. Yeah, that's how it works. That's right.
00:22:42.820 That's how the world works. But the left is scratching their head. One of the best
00:22:46.820 arguments or most compelling these days for God is that argument from fine tuning. If you change
00:22:53.060 any little tiny measurement in the physical laws of the universe, the whole thing falls apart.
00:22:58.900 And they just say, wow, what a crazy coincidence. Or they'll say, well, this is evidence of a multiverse.
00:23:05.300 Any way to explain away God. Now, Candace, lefties claim that conservatives are science deniers.
00:23:12.180 They worship at the altar of science. But scientifically speaking, we don't know anything,
00:23:16.820 right? I mean, that's what this study sort of shows us. We know about very minute things. We know
00:23:23.300 about very particular things in the realm of medicine or engineering. But when it comes to
00:23:28.820 gigantic questions, we know nothing. Scientists are statistically wrong all the time, right?
00:23:33.700 Right.
00:23:34.340 Is rejecting the false religion of scientism,
00:23:39.140 is that an important part of getting red-pilled? Is that an important part of seeing the world more
00:23:43.940 accurately? I think it's an important part of getting up and out of bed in the morning.
00:23:48.020 I can't wake up to another headline. What is the obsession with how the world started,
00:23:52.900 how the world's going to end? We're either dying or we don't know why we're here.
00:23:56.340 We're coming or going.
00:23:57.460 Honestly. Yeah, I have no idea what's going on anymore with the left. They're always freaking
00:24:01.060 out about something. Personally, I don't care. I know how this ends. I know how the story ends
00:24:05.220 for me. I'm going to die soon. So.
00:24:07.700 But are you going to heaven? I bet you'll go to heaven.
00:24:09.620 Yeah. Well, I'm going to heaven. Absolutely.
00:24:11.380 That's good. All right. That's not bad. You know, you become worm food for like a minute period
00:24:15.380 of time and then you get eternal glory. That's not so bad.
00:24:18.100 That's all I'm saying.
00:24:19.220 The world is a comedy, if you ask me. Jacob, some religious conservatives. I'll admit it. I'll knock our
00:24:26.340 fellow religious conservative friends. They reject science per se, even though they'll even
00:24:32.020 reject discoveries like the Big Bang, which is an argument for Christian creation. It was called
00:24:38.340 the Big Bang by atheists because they thought it was so ridiculous. It was discovered by a Catholic
00:24:43.220 priest. Should conservatives resist the tendency toward being anti-science while embracing being
00:24:51.620 anti-scientistic?
00:24:55.380 Yes, I agree with you there. The problem is where do faith and reason begin, right? And so I think that
00:25:03.620 a lot of conservatives slash Christians, they go, well, science has let us down, right? Like you
00:25:08.260 just said, they rejected the Big Bang theory. They called it that to mock it because they believed
00:25:12.260 in a static universe. Well, then Albert Einstein admitted, I see that there's a beginning of the
00:25:18.500 the universe, and I believe he was agnostic, but I agree with you there. I think that we should not
00:25:25.460 reject science right out, but just like agnostic approaches faith with some skepticism, I think we
00:25:32.340 should do the same with science because after all, some scientists put their hope in that there's black
00:25:37.380 holes in the universe. Newsflash, black holes are purely theoretical. There's not been a discovery of
00:25:44.260 a single black hole. So I don't see how that could be an explanation for how the Big Bang occurred.
00:25:50.340 Jacob, that isn't true, obviously, because we found you in a black hole. We're wandering around.
00:25:54.420 That's where he pulled you from. I'm in one now. That's right. This whole studio is a black hole.
00:25:59.860 And that distinction, the skepticism, it's insane that you would even have to say that,
00:26:06.020 that we should approach scientific experiments skeptically. Skepticism is supposed to inhere in
00:26:12.020 science. That's the point. And yet now you hear people say, well, there's a consensus,
00:26:16.980 as if science is a democratic enterprise, as if 50% plus one of people vote for something,
00:26:22.660 then it's scientifically true. And they'll say, well, the science is settled. There's a little
00:26:26.900 news for science doesn't get settled. There is no settling of science. Yeah, that's an important
00:26:32.020 distinction. I need to talk about the JFK files. We're finally going to uncover the truth. My expert panel
00:26:38.740 is going to explain what really happened in Dallas about 54 years ago, but you can't see it unless you
00:26:45.380 go to dailywire.com. So we thank everybody who's already a subscriber. You help us keep the lights
00:26:50.420 on. You help us keep coffee and covfefe in our leftist tears tumblers. But if you haven't subscribed
00:26:55.540 already, go over to dailywire.com. It's 10 bucks a month or $100 for an annual membership. You get me,
00:27:01.140 you get the Andrew Glavin show. You get the Ben Shapiro show. Yeah, yada, yada, yada, yada, yada.
00:27:05.380 You get this folks, you get the leftist tears tumbler. This by the way, is the pinnacle of
00:27:10.100 scientific achievement. This is why I don't doubt science is because this was crafted in a laboratory.
00:27:16.180 It was prayerfully crafted to become the hardest, most trollish material on the face of the earth.
00:27:24.020 Obviously for Hillary Clinton's birthday, that is the vintage that we'll be drinking today.
00:27:28.020 It's really, really special. It's a 70-year-old vintage and it will never be president.
00:27:33.380 And make sure also that you subscribe to us on YouTube and like us on Facebook so you keep
00:27:37.140 getting updates and you get me to harass you to go over and subscribe on The Daily Wire.
00:27:41.860 Go over there right now and we'll be right back.
00:27:43.940 All remaining documents pertaining to the JFK assassination are apparently going to be released
00:28:00.900 momentarily, meaning that after almost 54 years, Ted Cruz's father will finally face justice. That is
00:28:08.180 wonderful. Now, for those of us who think we know what's gone on, a communist killed an anti-communist
00:28:16.180 president and he previously had met with communists in Mexico, we're probably going to be surprised by
00:28:22.980 all of the crazy stuff that comes out. Candace, what wacky conspiracies are going to come out of these
00:28:28.980 JFK files? I'm going to go with CNN will say Trump did it. Russia is definitely to blame.
00:28:38.100 Of course. They actually might be to blame. And the KKK had something to do with it.
00:28:43.780 I don't know. I don't think the narrative changes at all. Nothing will change at all if you're watching
00:28:48.740 MSNBC or CNN. That's it. Then I've got to look, because I was going to look at the files,
00:28:54.340 but that won't be any fun because that'll just say that a communist killed an anti-communist. I got
00:28:58.020 to look at CNN. That'll finally be able to get Donald Trump involved in all this. Jacob,
00:29:03.700 you are our resident conspiracy theorist. What are the top theories?
00:29:07.860 The top theories are it was a front. What's his name? Was just a bag man. Just for them to pick up
00:29:16.420 and then for him to later die. The next one is definitely one of my favorites is that he was
00:29:21.620 brainwashed in Russia as some sort of Manchurian candidate, that he was just some poor slob.
00:29:27.540 You know, it's always the actual shooter. He never really seems to take any blame,
00:29:32.820 even though I pretty much believe in Occam's razor here. I think that he just did it. And
00:29:37.700 that's the way it is. My favorite though, is a documentary was released a couple of years ago
00:29:42.340 that blamed George HW Bush saying that his oil ties are the reason JFK died. Just all these
00:29:51.300 ridiculous nonsense that have no basis reality, just a bunch of rumors and hearsay and gossip and
00:29:57.060 nothing that we can ever verify. I heard also that President Bush groped Jack Ruby. That's a,
00:30:02.180 that's just something that's going on around Twitter right now. So we'll see if the documents
00:30:06.340 can confirm that. That's the real crime here, folks. Amanda, do you think that the left or the
00:30:12.580 right is more prone to conspiracy theories? They both do it. They're tinfoil hats on both sides,
00:30:18.740 but which, which likes them more the left or the right?
00:30:22.660 I think both are susceptible. Sure. I think with conservatives and people on the right,
00:30:29.460 we naturally have a distrust for government. So perhaps we can kind of generate these things
00:30:34.180 a little bit more. But I think, but I also think people on the right a little more educated. So
00:30:38.820 there may be some things that they're, that people on the left here in the news,
00:30:43.060 and they'll just kind of accept it as facts. And it'll be some crazy conspiracy that the media have
00:30:47.380 pushed out there and they'll just believe that as fact. Whereas people on the right, you know,
00:30:51.060 they'll, they'll research things, they'll look into things and because they have this inherent
00:30:54.100 distrust of government, they can kind of go down this path and believe things that aren't mainstream.
00:30:59.620 I agree with that. That doesn't actually mean they're totally conspiracies either,
00:31:03.220 all the time. I agree that the people on the right, we have more conspiracies. We come up with
00:31:08.820 them because to have a conspiracy theory, you really just need kind of an active mind. So you're trying to
00:31:14.100 connect dots that don't really make sense to connect. But because people on the right have
00:31:18.580 more active minds in that regard, we reject them. So they never go mainstream. But in the Democratic
00:31:23.860 Party, they're totally mainstream. How, how often did we hear Bush lied, people died, no war for oil,
00:31:30.580 the Russian narrative that Donald Trump is some Manchurian candidate. We didn't hear that from
00:31:35.540 fringy people on radio at three in the morning. We heard that from the candidate herself. We found that
00:31:40.180 we heard that from my cousin. And that's the point. It's always like these mainstream soundbites. Like
00:31:45.300 I said, it's kind of like these, these things pushed in the media. You know, you hear it once,
00:31:49.140 you see it on Facebook once, this little slogan. It's not like they researched and did all this
00:31:52.980 stuff to have this crazy conspiracy. No, it's something they hear, something they see. They're
00:31:57.460 so susceptible to this fake news that they'll take it and run with it. And yeah, it is mainstream because
00:32:02.420 our mainstream media helps plant those seeds and help push, push those things. So it makes total sense.
00:32:07.620 Because our Alex Jones is Alex Jones and their Alex Jones is CNN.
00:32:12.180 So there's a real difference here.
00:32:14.740 Exactly. That's exactly right.
00:32:16.180 Okay. Panel, excellent to have you as always. Thank you for being here. Unfortunately,
00:32:20.580 I have to get to the mailbag right now and solve everybody's most pressing problems like,
00:32:24.740 you know, what is the universe for and all of that. Thank you for being here.
00:32:28.500 Red Pill Black Catcher on YouTube, Amanda Presto Giacomo and Jacob Airy. See you guys.
00:32:32.420 Bye. Bye.
00:32:35.540 Now, we have got to get to the mailbag. We have a lot of good mailbag questions today,
00:32:39.300 so we'll try to run through them. This one is from Alex. Dear Sir Michael of House Knowles,
00:32:44.900 the once and future King of Trolls, my question to you is related to the Catholic Church. I'm shocked.
00:32:50.420 Although bear in mind, this is coming from someone new to Christianity, so I may be off in my assumptions.
00:32:55.780 However, it would seem that both the Orthodox and Catholic branches of Christianity claim to have
00:33:01.140 supreme priesthood authority stretching all the way back to Peter. Assuming that only one of these
00:33:06.580 churches can have a true claim to being the holder of the true authority, the bark of Peter, why does
00:33:11.860 the Catholic Church have a legitimate claim and the Orthodox Church have an illegitimate one? So you're
00:33:16.900 talking about the Eastern Orthodox Church would also claim some succession back from the Apostolic Age
00:33:23.380 and from Peter to be the church instituted by Christ on earth. Why aren't they? The reason they're
00:33:28.500 not is the same reason that every other church that claims it's the true church isn't the true,
00:33:34.340 you know, isn't the one that you'll hear a lot of people say, well, my church was founded in 1972,
00:33:39.700 but we're the real church. The people just didn't figure it out for 1972 years, but now we've figured
00:33:44.820 it out. So now we're the one that Christ is talking about, the church that he instituted on earth,
00:33:50.660 and it just took us two millennia to figure it out. I have great respect, by the way,
00:33:55.780 for the Orthodox liturgy and much of its theology. The Orthodox Church as we know it today was created
00:34:02.340 in 1054, so that was a little after Christ instituted the church on earth because of the
00:34:06.900 great schism that caused the break with Rome. The issues at hand were largely political, the issue of
00:34:15.780 the pope exerting too much authority without consulting the bishops who were in the east,
00:34:21.940 and there is one theological issue, which is the filioque, the notion that the Holy Spirit proceeds
00:34:29.860 from the Father and the Son. So for Christians who recite the Nicene Creed, you say that I believe
00:34:35.220 in the Holy Spirit which proceeds from the Father and the Son, whereas the Eastern Orthodox Church says
00:34:39.940 the Holy Spirit proceeds only from the Father. The Holy Spirit, as defined by C.S. Lewis in Mere
00:34:45.940 Christianity and a great many theologians, and this is my view as well, the Holy Spirit is the bond of
00:34:52.100 love between the Father and the Son. So the filioque only, the Holy Spirit only proceeding from the Father
00:34:59.700 is a theological concept that does aid a schismatic church, but it isn't true. You know, it is a
00:35:11.460 relatively recent invention when we're talking about an institution that's 2,000 years old. And so
00:35:18.100 anyway, that's why. But I don't want to pick on the Orthodox Church. There are a gazillion churches that
00:35:23.300 occurred after the schism and after the Protestant Revolution that claimed to be the one true church and
00:35:27.700 all the other ones are completely wrong. And there's only one that's been around since Christ
00:35:32.260 instituted it. So that's why I defer to that one. The Bark of Peter man. From Paul, this email is,
00:35:40.260 Michael, since you recently brought up the issues about Hitler and the Catholic Church,
00:35:44.580 another Catholic question. I can't believe it. I had a couple questions. One, Adolf Hitler,
00:35:49.540 heaven or hell, and why? And two, are there really any hard artifacts indicating that Adolf Hitler was
00:35:56.340 excommunicated from the Catholic Church? Isn't it possible that perhaps Hitler saw himself
00:36:01.300 as a true warrior for Christ and had no reason from his church's leadership to believe otherwise?
00:36:07.300 Let's, and by the way, I'm only joking about not wanting to answer the Catholic questions. I'm
00:36:11.140 obviously quite interested in it and I enjoy that other people are interested in that as well.
00:36:16.180 So this first question is a real theological conundrum. Is Adolf Hitler in heaven or hell?
00:36:22.500 Now, you would think that if you're Hitler, you go to hell. But if you are the guy who killed Hitler,
00:36:29.940 then you go to heaven. Now, now the difficulty here is that the guy who killed Hitler is Hitler. So
00:36:36.740 which one weighs out? Now we'll have to dig into our theology because we reject the Pelagian heresy.
00:36:43.140 We reject redemption through works alone. So for that reason, I imagine, I suspect that Adolf Hitler is
00:36:50.020 rotting in hell, but I don't know. He could have had a conversion right before that bullet went
00:36:53.380 through his head. As for his relationship to Christianity or the church, he didn't need to
00:36:58.980 be excommunicated by the church. He excommunicated himself. He didn't take communion and he held
00:37:04.180 Christianity and the, and the Catholic Church and with great disdain. So according to Albert Speer,
00:37:10.100 he said that Hitler often said that Christianity was the wrong religion for the German temperament.
00:37:17.140 According to Speer, Hitler said, quote, you see, it's been our misfortune to have the wrong religion.
00:37:22.580 Why didn't we have the religion of the Japanese who regards sacrifice for the fatherland as the
00:37:26.980 highest good? The Mohammedan religion, Islam too, would have been much more compatible to us than
00:37:32.260 Christianity. Why did it have to be Christianity with its meekness and flabbiness? According to Goebbels,
00:37:40.260 Adolf Hitler hated Christianity, quote, because it has crippled all that is noble in humanity.
00:37:47.140 Also from Goebbels, the Fuhrer is a fierce opponent of all that humbug, humbug referring to
00:37:52.340 Christianity and the Catholic Church. And he said, quote, this is apparently a quote from Hitler,
00:37:57.060 science cannot lie for it's always striving according to the momentary state of knowledge
00:38:01.540 to deduce what is true. When it makes a mistake, it does so in good faith. It's Christianity that's
00:38:06.420 the liar. It's in perpetual conflict with itself. He doesn't provide any reason to believe that,
00:38:12.180 but that's what he says. He says, the dogma of Christianity gets worn away before the advances
00:38:16.900 of science. No, it doesn't. There is no conflict between faith and reason. And most of the great
00:38:23.620 scientific discoveries have been made not only by Christians, but by clergymen of the Catholic
00:38:28.580 Church itself. And my last bit of evidence for why Hitler wasn't really a Catholic or a Christian
00:38:34.980 is that he wanted to kill the Pope. He tried to kill the Pope and he said he'd make apologies
00:38:39.220 for that later. Good thing he didn't. And we got to him first. Next question from Brian.
00:38:44.820 Michael, what is your beverage of choice? A great question. You may have noticed some circles under
00:38:50.500 my eyes. You know that I enjoy smoking cigars. It's because the only things I ever drink are booze and
00:38:57.620 coffee and tea. So I love scotch. I like peaty scotches. I also like blended scotches. I drink
00:39:02.420 Johnny Black a lot. I also drink the official whiskey of old Republicans, which is Dewar's White
00:39:08.900 Label. I'm not too good for that. And so I drink scotch, dark rum because it's good with cigars,
00:39:14.900 tea and coffee. And in terms of cocktails, I like Manhattans, Negroni's, Boulevardier, Left Hand,
00:39:22.020 Old Fashioned, Rob Roy's, Martinis, basically anything that's wet. Because the first miracle
00:39:27.780 that our Lord performed on earth was to turn the water into wine explicitly for drunk people,
00:39:33.140 for people who had already been drunk during this wedding celebration. So, you know, why change a good
00:39:38.020 thing? Why get rid of a good thing? Next question from Evan. Dear leader of the anti-PC underbelly,
00:39:45.380 why is it the Catholics are always questioned about their loyalty to the USA and their religious
00:39:50.180 beliefs? I don't know, man. I get questioned about it all the time. You see this with many
00:39:54.820 Catholics who have a life in the public arena that they must choose one, not both. Amy Barrett,
00:40:00.740 John Mulaney, Stephen Colbert, and even the once and future King JFK. I know that as Catholics,
00:40:06.260 we have a difficult place in society that our allegiance to the flag and to the papacy makes
00:40:10.740 the rest of America uneasy. But you don't see other faiths being made to choose between country and
00:40:15.060 their faith. Evan. I don't totally agree with that. You are right that Catholics are often
00:40:21.700 looked at in America, or at least used to be, as a little troublesome because there is a church that
00:40:28.420 we belong to and ultimately our allegiance is to Christ. But the Jews get this too. Jews get this
00:40:34.660 all the time with Israel. Are you really an American patriot or are you just a shill for Israel? All that
00:40:38.900 bile that came out in the last election to Ben Shapiro intimated as much. So we're not the only
00:40:44.900 one. The Jews get it too, probably because the Jews are the chosen people and the church is the
00:40:49.860 church on earth. The words of St. Thomas More come to mind. I am the king's faithful servant,
00:40:57.620 but I'm God's servant first. So, you know, that's what you have to deal with. But hey,
00:41:02.180 people said they'd hate you for Christ's sake. Rather, Christ said that people would hate you for
00:41:06.180 his sake. And so, you know, if you get some weird questions from people on the internet,
00:41:10.180 that's not so bad. From George, Michael, how should I explain what liberalism as promoted by
00:41:16.660 the media and the left is to my daughter, who is an eight-year-old in third grade, in words and ideas
00:41:22.980 that children can understand? You know, George, you're in luck because that is liberalism. That is
00:41:28.340 the left. You can tell her to turn on Pod Save America or love it or leave it. It will be in exactly the
00:41:34.020 right style of language and academia for your eight-year-old to understand. She'll probably
00:41:40.740 go through a phase in school on that point. There's that old saying, if you're not a liberal
00:41:46.340 when you're 17, you have no heart. If you're not a conservative when you're 30, you have no brain.
00:41:52.100 Even I went through a little phase in high school when I was a dirty, rotten hippie for like five
00:41:56.260 minutes. And I think that's just an intellectual phase you go to because you tear down society. You
00:42:02.340 have this rebellious streak and you say, this is all phony baloney, like, you know, what's that
00:42:08.900 awful novel that everyone has to read? Holden Caulfield, you know, like Holden Caulfield and
00:42:14.820 Catcher in the Rye. It's a good novel, but that character is so detestable. And so you rip it down,
00:42:19.060 you say everything's phony and really I'm a radical liberal because you're growing. It's adolescence.
00:42:24.740 It's a stage of your maturity. And then some people never get past that stage of adolescence and we see
00:42:30.660 them wearing pussy hats and screaming and crying because their preferred candidate didn't win an
00:42:35.380 election. And some people do mature beyond that and they become serious people. And they might be
00:42:41.620 liberal. Dave Rubin is a serious person. You don't see him shrieking and crying because Hillary Clinton
00:42:46.580 lost the election. But very often you'll become a conservative by the time you're 50 or hopefully
00:42:51.940 sooner in many people's case. But, you know, I would encourage you to let people go through those
00:42:58.820 phases because very often you need to learn things for yourself, especially ideas, especially political
00:43:06.980 realities. And so when you get to explore that yourself, they say that converts and reverts to the
00:43:14.820 church are more Catholic than the pope. The converts are the ones that are most zealous because they've
00:43:19.380 arrived at it on their own. So I'd let people arrive at it on their own. It's hard to think of
00:43:23.700 a guy who's more right wing than Andrew Klavan, but he used to be a lefty. Hard to think of a guy who's
00:43:27.780 more Christian than Andrew Klavan. He used to be an atheist. So allowing that process of intellectual
00:43:32.820 and spiritual maturity to occur is a good thing. And then hopefully your kid comes out on the right
00:43:38.180 side. From Paul. Hey, Michael, big fan of the show. Thanks. I'm a practicing Lutheran. Can you convince
00:43:45.060 me that I should be Catholic? I bet with the power of the Holy Spirit, I could do that. I probably
00:43:50.340 don't have time to fundamentally change your views of theology, you know, in the next minute or two.
00:43:56.260 But, you know, an intellectual conversion is probably not the most important thing here.
00:44:01.140 The spiritual conversion is. If you are looking and you say, I'm a Lutheran and I want to figure out all
00:44:06.580 of the arguments to not be a Lutheran and then answer all of those arguments. I don't know that you'll be
00:44:11.460 converted. If, on the other hand, you say that Catholic Church is a little interesting to me.
00:44:16.100 I wonder what that's all about. Then the nice thing is that a joke about the Catholic Church is
00:44:20.660 they have all the answers since they've been around so long. So you can say, what am I going
00:44:24.260 to have for breakfast? What should I eat on Tuesday morning at 8 30 a.m.? And you Google it and there's
00:44:29.780 like a Catholic Answers tab about it and they'll explain you should have eggs and bacon. That is true
00:44:35.460 about a lot of things. If you are questioning aspects of the Lutheran theology and the Lutheran
00:44:41.140 history and the Lutheran disagreement with its founder, Martin Luther, which occurs in very
00:44:46.580 important places, in particular transubstantiation, then you should Google it and look at the Catholic
00:44:51.460 Answers for it. They might be compelling to you and look at it with the weight of history and the
00:44:57.860 weight of the greatest theologians in history contemplating these questions for two millennia.
00:45:04.340 Hilaire Belloc said, a man who does not accept the Catholic faith writes himself down as suburban.
00:45:10.020 I love that expression because he's not saying you're a terrible person or you're completely wrong
00:45:14.580 or you don't know Jesus or you've never heard of Jesus. He's just saying you haven't gone all the
00:45:18.660 way. You're stopping yourself from following ideas to their logical conclusions and spiritual
00:45:27.140 experiences to their logical conclusions. So I would just keep on going and follow all of those things
00:45:32.820 to their logical conclusions. And the writers and that you can look for, I love for modern people,
00:45:39.380 I love Father George W. Rutler. You can read him all over the internet and look at him on YouTube.
00:45:44.580 Chesterton is really good on this. And then the church fathers who explain away some of the heresies
00:45:50.900 of Martin Luther. Next question from Robert. Hi, need help from the Don Juan of the Daily Wire.
00:45:58.420 I'm glad I wore my Miami Vice jacket today or a little more, you know, for the ladies. I am a big
00:46:03.780 fan. Thank you. I'm also Catholic. What are your thoughts on going on two first dates just days apart
00:46:09.780 from each other? Why would you wait so long? I've never been good with the ladies and now all of a
00:46:13.620 sudden these two girls are interested in me and want to go out. What the heck, man? In my gut,
00:46:17.860 that was him, by the way, not me. In my gut, this does not feel right. Am I right to feel this way?
00:46:22.020 Or is this just some weird Catholic guilt? What should I do? You've got a really hard problem.
00:46:27.940 You've got two cute girls who want to go out on dates with you. My heart bleeds, pal. I do understand
00:46:34.740 the question. I may have done this a little bit in the old days before sweet little Elisa.
00:46:40.100 Everyone dates and plays the field, especially now. There is a Tinder culture where you can just swipe
00:46:45.620 anywhere you are and you get like a thousand women to throw themselves at you. That's at least
00:46:49.700 what I imagine it's like. There's nothing wrong with playing the field. You're a single guy. You
00:46:55.060 haven't made any vows before God. If you say, I went on a first date with a girl and so I can't talk to
00:47:04.020 any other women until six months from now, you're going to have a hard dating life. You're going to be
00:47:09.700 like 150 before you find your wife, probably. That said, there is a little risk here and it's
00:47:17.220 that Tinder culture. I've always lived in big cities. I lived in New York and Los Angeles in my adult
00:47:24.020 life. And obviously I was on a college campus. And those places you just churn through dating
00:47:29.860 partners, especially now with Tinder. I'm very happy I missed that phase of technology because all of my
00:47:35.460 friends in New York and LA, they say, why would I go on a third date with a girl when I have every
00:47:40.980 single girl in the world one swipe away? You stop viewing them as people and you just kind of
00:47:48.180 see another chick that you can take out and see where it leads from there. And as a result,
00:47:54.180 it's hard to have good relationships and it's hard to get married. All of those friends who do that are
00:47:58.500 pushing off getting married with a few exceptions. That said, you're talking about two dates. You're not
00:48:03.940 talking about three dates in a day. You're not talking about 20 dates in a week. So with that,
00:48:09.620 I think it's just your Catholic guilt getting to you. Be honest, be a good guy. Don't, you know,
00:48:13.940 try not to be a total degenerate because I appreciate the comparison to Don Juan.
00:48:18.740 But if you've ever read the diaries of like Giacomo Casanova, it's dating and hanging out with a
00:48:25.220 thousand chicks is really fun for a while until you get sex-austed and then it becomes kind of pathetic.
00:48:30.660 And you, you know, you aren't a serious person. Casanova died in despair. His life was basically
00:48:36.420 ruined. And so, uh, you know, be careful with it. Go on, you know, go on your dates,
00:48:41.140 see some people, but don't, don't just treat women like another swipe, uh, because not, not for them,
00:48:46.500 by the way, just for you, because it's going to make you deeply unhappy and ruin your relationships.
00:48:50.900 Okay. I hope that helps. One thing I should point out, Joe Girardi is out as the Yankees manager.
00:48:55.860 Um, we're going to miss Joe Girardi very much. He got, he was one game away from getting us to the
00:49:00.740 World Series again. He is the last Yankee who's still on the field that was around when I became
00:49:05.940 a Yankee fan as a kid during those great seasons in the nineties. So adios, Joe, I wish you weren't
00:49:10.900 leaving. We really liked having you as manager. One other way to survive the weekend, the Clavin-less
00:49:16.340 weekend is to listen to another kingdom. I found out we're now, believe it or not, my podcast with
00:49:22.500 Andrew Clavin, which is his latest story about a 30 year old schlub in Hollywood who walks through
00:49:27.460 a gate and becomes a murder suspect in a mythical kingdom with ogres and dead damsels and all that.
00:49:33.540 It's number 11 in arts on all of iTunes. I don't know how that happened. I am shocked. I thought
00:49:38.100 conservatives were Philistines with the culture, but check it out. If you can go subscribe and leave
00:49:42.180 a review. It really helps us out. We want to just, as Hollywood lays in rubble, we want to take it over
00:49:47.940 basically and have real art that isn't politically correct and, and isn't full of, uh, scummy people
00:49:53.940 like everyone else that runs Hollywood and Harvey Weinstein. So check it out. It's another kingdom.
00:49:58.420 You'll survive the Clavin-less weekend, and then we'll be back on Monday. So good luck,
00:50:02.980 everybody. I'm Michael Knowles. This is The Michael Knowles Show. See you soon.
