00:00:00.000 Bad Bunny is performing at the Super Bowl. Lahore Vajastan is teaching at Harvard.
00:00:05.160 And I'm Michael Knowles, and this is The Michael Knowles Show.
00:00:07.800 Welcome back to the show. Netflix is canceled. Elon has declared it so. I don't make the rules.
00:00:32.700 That's how it goes. We will see why my producers have prepared for me some horrifying, horrifying clips.
00:00:39.820 First, though, I want to tell you about Birch Gold. Text Knowles to 98, 98, 98.
00:00:46.980 I want to be very blunt. Gold is up around 40% this year. That is not speculation. That is a reality.
00:00:53.240 If a portion of your savings is not diversified into gold, you are missing the boat. Here are the facts.
00:00:57.820 Inflation is still too high. The U.S. dollar is still too weak. The government debt is insurmountable.
00:01:03.280 This is why central banks are flocking to gold. They're the ones driving prices up to record highs.
00:01:07.800 But it is not too late to buy gold from Birch Gold Group and get in the door now.
00:01:11.920 Birch Gold will help you convert an existing IRA or 401k into a tax-sheltered IRA in gold.
00:01:17.420 You do not pay a dime out of pocket.
00:01:20.020 You know, I'm a little bit of a gold bug, so I've got a decent amount of gold in my portfolio.
00:01:24.200 And as I mentioned, it's up 40% this year, so it's pretty good.
00:01:27.180 Just text Knowles, Canada WLES, to 98, 98, 98. Claim your free info kit.
00:01:31.640 No obligation, just useful information. The best indicator of the future is the past,
00:01:35.780 and gold has historically been a safe haven for millennia.
00:01:39.140 What else can say that? Text Knowles, Canada WLES, to 98, 98, 98.
00:01:42.680 Right now, claim your free info kit on gold. That is Knowles, Canada WLES, to 98, 98, 98.
00:01:47.900 Protect your future today with Birch Gold.
00:01:50.480 Bad Bunny, coming to the Super Bowl. Who is Bad Bunny?
00:01:55.220 I thought, I sincerely thought Bad Bunny was that girl from Maury, or Dr. Phil.
00:02:01.580 And she was on, you remember the girl who was like, cash me outside, how about that?
00:02:04.540 And she called herself Bad, I thought Bad Bunny, but it's not.
00:02:08.420 She's Bad Baby. And Bad Baby will not be performing at the Super Bowl.
00:02:12.820 I don't know what she does, other than that clip. She could reenact that clip.
00:02:19.080 Bad Bunny is a Puerto Rican cross-dresser. So, Bad Bunny is this Puerto Rican rapper,
00:02:25.080 singer, or whatever. And apparently, he's popular. I'd never heard of him.
00:02:28.600 And he wears dresses. But he's not trans. And I don't even know if he's a drag queen.
00:02:32.900 But he wears dresses. And this is the crucial part. He hates Donald Trump.
00:02:39.080 He hates Trump. He's very anti-ice. He's very anti-immigration enforcement.
00:02:44.660 And that's why he was picked for the Super Bowl.
00:02:47.160 A lot of people don't quite know why the Super Bowl would make this pick.
00:02:51.240 Is it because the NFL is just so super-duper woke? Yeah, the NFL is pretty woke.
00:02:54.800 The NFL is the league of Colin Kaepernick and protesting the American flag and the separate
00:03:00.300 black national anthem as if black people can't sing the regular national anthem.
00:03:03.800 And so, the NFL is awful. I don't like the NFL. I don't watch professional football.
00:03:07.280 It doesn't do anything for me. But that's not the only reason that they picked Mr. Bunny
00:03:12.020 to play the Super Bowl. The reason is, this is the last best shot to turn something of the
00:03:22.140 common culture against Trump. 124 million people watched the Super Bowl last year. That's a lot
00:03:28.120 of people. Well, we say, you know, the ratings for the Oscars are down. And the ratings for network
00:03:32.600 TV are down. The ratings for this, all the ratings are down except for the Super Bowl. 124 million
00:03:36.940 people is still really, really impressive. And so, the libs, who still run the media, they need
00:03:46.500 to turn some part of the common culture against Trump. I think for the younger people in the
00:03:53.560 audience, the real takeaway here is, this is what TV just used to be. This is what all TV used to be.
00:04:01.260 This is what the movies used to be. There used to be a common culture. Everyone used to watch the
00:04:05.720 same shows. Everyone used to go see the same movies. That started to fragment in the 2000s,
00:04:12.240 20 teens. Then you get independent media, podcast culture, social media, all this stuff.
00:04:16.760 And all of a sudden, people aren't watching this stuff. And I don't even know who Bad Bunny is,
00:04:20.540 but I know what the Super Bowl is. So, back in those days, when we could just trust the man on
00:04:25.400 the news, everything was super lib. And so, if you could control, like, five people, you could control
00:04:32.160 the political narrative in the country. That doesn't work anymore, with this one exception.
00:04:36.460 The common culture. The Super Bowl might be the last common culture artifact, other than Trump.
00:04:42.240 Though Trump is still polarizing. He won the popular vote, but he's still polarizing.
00:04:46.040 So, that's really what this is about. They have to do this. And it doesn't matter if the people
00:04:50.940 watching at home want to see a cross-dressing Puerto Rican who hates immigration, and immigration
00:04:55.660 raids, and ICE, and deportations. It doesn't matter. They're going to try to ram it down their
00:04:59.680 throats, because they think people love the Super Bowl enough to watch it. And maybe that's true.
00:05:04.920 I don't love the Super Bowl enough. I don't care about professional football at all. So,
00:05:07.880 I probably won't watch it. But who knows? You know what? I probably will have to,
00:05:11.460 because it's part of the common culture. I'll have to talk about it on the show.
00:05:15.280 So, they get away with it. Now, turning to cross-dressers closer to home. I am at Harvard
00:05:21.500 right now. I gave a speech at Harvard Law School last night for YAF. Weirdly, Harvard does not let
00:05:27.260 you live stream speeches. It's like the only school that doesn't let you live stream. So,
00:05:31.060 it was a great time last night. We got the video. Hopefully, we can try to air that soon.
00:05:35.600 But I'm still here. I'm still here in Cambridge. And it was an amazing day to go to Harvard,
00:05:40.400 because hours earlier, Harvard announced that it had hired a new professor. And the professor's name
00:05:46.560 is Lahore Vajistan. He's a guy. He dresses up like a lady. And his name is Lahore Vajistan.
00:05:56.840 Harvard costs $90,000 a year to attend. And that's one of the professors they can expect.
00:06:05.060 Professor Vajistan was not at my speech last night at Harvard Law School.
00:06:10.040 Professor Vajistan probably was preparing his two classes that he will be teaching. The first one is
00:06:14.960 queer ethnography in the fall. And the other one is rue politics. Rue politics. Get it? Drag race.
00:06:25.900 Drag race. Get it? Drag race and desire in the spring. Here is Professor Vajistan describing his
00:06:34.200 pedagogy. Education that happens through drag, I was seeing these other places. So, that's what I
00:06:40.580 ended up writing about in the book, even though I wasn't writing about drag. I'm finishing another
00:06:45.700 book called Decolonized Drag that is thinking about how colonialism has solidified the gender binaries
00:06:55.420 in such a way that we only think of drag as one thing. We think drag is cis people of one gender
00:07:04.840 dressing as the quote-unquote opposite gender, right? And once we start breaking that apart,
00:07:10.720 we start seeing drag everywhere. And we start seeing that drag is limited by class and race,
00:07:20.160 and caste and geography. So, really dismantling colonial binaries can help us see drag in more
00:07:36.340 places, give more people credit for their artistry. And the last thing I'll mention is that Lahore Vajistan
00:07:42.080 sometimes shows up to teach my classes instead of me.
00:07:47.880 Okay, so Harvard kids, you can expect Lahore to show up. You don't know when Lahore is going to show
00:07:53.860 up, but he or she will be there. What's most depressing about this class is not even that
00:08:00.880 he's a sex freak and he talks about being a sex freak. It's more all the other stuff he talks about.
00:08:05.800 Because this is basically every Harvard class. This is basically every university class now.
00:08:12.220 You go in, you say, okay, this particular subject, this hyper-specialized subject that I've
00:08:17.160 devoted my life to, because I can't be a generalist and I don't want to read a ton of books,
00:08:21.140 so you can pick some really niche thing. This really specific thing is actually everything.
00:08:27.200 That's the first part. So you say, people think drag is when one sex dresses as the other,
00:08:32.840 but actually it's everything. Okay, that's the first part. Then the second part is you just say
00:08:39.420 a bunch of buzzy liberal words. Colonialism, race, deconstruct, binaries, sex, gender,
00:08:49.680 colonialism. Did I say colonialism yet? Colonialism. You just say that for anything. It doesn't have to
00:08:54.640 be drag. Deconstructing the colonial sexual binary of drag mathematics. They could teach that in the
00:09:02.220 math department. And it would be just like every other modern university class. That's what's most
00:09:08.160 depressing to me about this. If it were actually about the aesthetics of drag shows, or I don't
00:09:15.480 know, the history of drag shows, it might be, it's not worth teaching at Harvard, but it might be
00:09:19.300 slightly interesting. But it's just the same as every other class in the sociology department,
00:09:25.220 or increasingly in the history department, the American studies department.
00:09:30.580 It's the deconstructing the binary of drag, which is everything. And it just reminds me of the paradox
00:09:37.220 of tolerance. The paradox of tolerance, which I talk about in my speech whenever we put it up.
00:09:43.020 The paradox of tolerance is that as a society comes to tolerate increasingly aberrant ideas and
00:09:50.340 behaviors, it necessarily stops tolerating normal ideas and behaviors. And vice versa. As a society
00:09:57.640 is more tolerant of normal ideas and behaviors, it stops tolerating the aberrant ones. So a really
00:10:04.140 relevant example of this is, as the society tolerates men in the women's bathroom, it stops
00:10:10.680 tolerating separate bathrooms for women, because you can't have both of those things simultaneously.
00:10:14.540 And so this message is that Harvard is just going to keep going in this direction,
00:10:20.380 which means Trump is going to keep pummeling them into the ground and making an example,
00:10:24.700 because they're the first school in America. Okay. Now, speaking of lunatics with funny names,
00:10:30.820 Zoran Mamdani has a bunch of postmodern gobbledygook to say about deconstructing violence. We'll get to
00:10:36.300 that momentarily. First, I want to tell you about Armra. Go to armra.com slash Knowles. We are living in a
00:10:42.480 world that our bodies were not built for. EMFs, artificial light, seed oils, microplastics,
00:10:47.560 endocrine disruptors, chronic stress. These modern threats are disrupting our cellular signaling,
00:10:51.840 damaging our gut health, and accelerating aging from the inside out. But what if there were a way

00:11:50.120 The future mayor of New York, Zoran Mamdani, a Muslim socialist in favor of queer liberation,
00:11:57.580 now has come out on the trail to declare that violence is merely a social construct.
00:12:04.120 Oftentimes we've even found as legislators, when we go into these courts, the term violent crime
00:12:10.360 is even used when people are stealing packages. Violent crime is even used when people are accused
00:12:15.400 of burglary and there happens to be a housing unit in that same dwelling. So violence is an
00:12:20.640 artificial construction. We have to be very clear that what is happening here with these district
00:12:26.300 attorneys, that is violence. That is violence of the highest degree.
00:12:33.680 Violence, you see, is an artificial construction. It's amazing that he could declare this amid this
00:12:40.860 spike in violence around the country, crime in cities, and then particularly left-wing violence,
00:12:46.180 left-wing political violence that has become so pronounced that even the Atlantic magazine,
00:12:50.280 as liberal a magazine as ever there was, has to point to the left-wing terrorism being on the rise.
00:12:56.960 One of the kids at Harvard last night asked me what I would do to restore order.
00:13:03.800 This has been a theme that we've been talking about in recent weeks. It was a theme of my speech.
00:13:07.760 How do you restore order to your society as we seem to be fraying, coming apart at the seams?
00:13:14.380 And the first thing you would do is you would arrest the criminals. You would enforce the criminal law
00:13:21.420 because that's the basic function of government. It's why it's so preposterous when the Democrats
00:13:27.040 come out and say they want to abolish the police or abolish prisons. That is the basic function of
00:13:33.920 government, is to be the authority that maintains the peace by punishing the bad guys to protect the
00:13:42.100 good guys. That is what government does. If a government does not do that because it's incompetent or
00:13:46.920 because it just doesn't want to, that government is simply not legitimate. And you need a legitimate
00:13:52.360 government to step in. And Zoran here, he says, no, but violence, man. It's like, hey, Mr. Davis,
00:14:00.420 can you pass that bong for just one? Violence, man. It's like, what does it even mean? You know,
00:14:09.520 it's like, what is drag? You know, it's like when we think drag is just one sex dressing up like the
00:14:15.980 other, you get locked in a colonial binary, man. But when you look out and you see everything is
00:14:22.160 drag. And also, everything is violence, man, which means nothing's violence, you know? You dig? You
00:14:31.080 dig, Slim? No, I don't know. I think most people realize there is such a thing as violence and it's
00:14:38.540 on the rise in certain places and it's made our cities unlivable. And it got pretty bad in New York
00:14:43.420 there for a while. And we want a mayor who can stop it. I think, maybe not, maybe I'm wrong because I
00:14:50.200 think he's going to be mayor. What else is he going to do? Besides ignore violent crime, Zoran
00:14:56.940 Mamdani wants to buy up housing and make New York City communist. I don't know how else to say it.
00:15:06.960 Go further toward the Vienna model. We'll have to go beyond the market. We can establish community
00:15:12.500 land trusts to gradually buy up housing on the private market and convert it to community ownership.
00:15:16.740 We can give tenants a right of first refusal to buy out their landlords when buildings go up for sale.
00:15:21.840 And we can fully commit to a new era of social housing, ending subsidies for luxury housing
00:15:26.900 development and using our wealth to build beautiful, high-quality social housing projects
00:15:31.400 that offer good homes and strong communities to everyone. We won't decommodify housing overnight,
00:15:37.480 but we know what we have to do and we have history to guide us.
00:15:40.440 We have the science of history marching on to guide us. Yes, that's right. We will liquidate
00:15:49.780 the kulaks. Yes, we're going to have to liquidate them. And we're going to have a cultural revolution
00:15:56.340 that brings us into a new era of social housing. What is social housing? Can you tell me what
00:16:03.560 social housing is? How is social housing different from any other kind of housing?
00:16:09.200 Isn't housing a social thing in itself? It's the smallest society. It's the family.
00:16:16.540 Be curious to hear Zoran Mamdani's thoughts on the family. It houses the smallest social unit
00:16:23.000 and then it exists within a broader society. So what is the difference between housing and social
00:16:27.520 housing? Social housing is socialist at least, or it just seems kind of communist.
00:16:32.480 Yes, we need to go beyond the market. We need to go beyond the market. Yes. And we're going to
00:16:39.860 buy up all the houses and we're going to pack all the people into the project. He even calls it a
00:16:44.540 project. Crazy that people can vote for this guy. You know what New York needs more of? Projects.
00:16:52.640 Yeah. Oh, just beautiful projects. Yes, that's right. I'm driving through the South Bronx. I just love
00:16:58.940 looking at all those beautiful projects and it's going to be a new era of social housing.
00:17:02.480 It's going to, and the new era is going to be called the 1970s. That's what it's going to be. Okay.
00:17:07.860 All right. So he is what he is. You got to give him credit for being honest. He is super radical.
00:17:14.040 He is a commie and New York might vote for him. Okay. All right. I can't stop him. I'm not,
00:17:21.360 I'm not a New Yorker anymore. I'm not a New York citizen. New York resident. Okay.
00:17:25.040 Now turning to slightly more normal Democrats, slightly more normal, equally threatening Dick
00:17:31.900 Blumenthal, Senator from Connecticut, just goes on MSNBC to complain about the Republicans wielding
00:17:39.960 political power in ways they don't like and to make a threat. The old saying, what comes around
00:17:46.440 goes around, you know, today it's a Republican president, but degrading the democracy and
00:17:51.200 ruining literally perverting the great ethos and tradition of the department of justice,
00:17:58.160 where I was in awe when I walked through those halls as a federal prosecutor. I think it's time
00:18:05.480 for Republican colleagues to say enough is enough and we are going to push them and do it hard.
00:18:11.720 Okay. So do you hear the implicit threat here? He speaks like a normal, boring politician,
00:18:17.020 but he's all upset that the DOJ indicted James Comey. He says, you know, these Republicans,
00:18:23.700 they better think long and hard. They better think long and hard about what they're doing right now
00:18:28.240 because just wait until we're back in power. Oh, we're going to indict all of them.
00:18:33.260 And this, this is the fear that's raised by the libertarians and some of the more squishy
00:18:37.540 Republicans. They say, well, Trump really had better not wield political power in a just way
00:18:43.740 because in the future, if Democrats come back to office, they're going to do that against us.
00:18:50.020 I just think not only does that argument fail because the Democrats have been doing that against
00:18:55.020 us for a long time and they tried to prosecute Trump four times and throw him off the ballot and
00:18:58.340 justify his assassination. Not only have they already been doing that, but they're promising to do it
00:19:04.440 again in the future. So the squish response to that is, well, see, they're serious. They're super
00:19:11.560 serious. They're going to do it again in the future if we don't surrender right now. So we should
00:19:14.920 surrender, right? And then they'll be nice to us. And to me, I would, I would draw the opposite
00:19:18.560 conclusion. I would say, hold on, they're already promising to wield political power in likely an
00:19:23.940 unjust way in the future. So that's all the more reason for us to exercise just political power.
00:19:29.840 Now they're telegraphing to you what they're going to do. They're going to come out and they're going
00:19:35.380 to beat you up and they're going to use. So you don't let them do it. You got to try to weaken
00:19:41.100 them now so that they don't do it in the future. I'm not saying to do that in an extra legal or
00:19:45.720 unjust way. I'm just saying just enforce the law. Prosecute the people who should be prosecuted.
00:19:52.900 They're promising you that they're going to hurt you the second they're able to get back up.
00:19:57.520 Don't let them get back up. This is like schoolyard 101, isn't it?
00:20:01.620 Now, speaking of Democrat senators, John Ossoff, remember John Ossoff? He's that senator from
00:20:08.920 Georgia. John Ossoff just went on some podcast and he actually admitted the Democrat perfidy.
00:20:15.720 Democrats are saying all the quiet parts out loud now. Yeah, we are going to wield the law against
00:20:19.120 you. Or yeah, we are going to prosecute our enemies. Yeah, we are going to do this. Well,
00:20:22.500 Ossoff is admitting now that he lied about Joe Biden's dementia to stop Trump.
00:20:30.640 We just didn't listen to the mounds and mounds of data that was out there.
00:20:34.980 I think that the most brutally honest answer to that question is when you're facing the specter of
00:20:46.180 Donald Trump potentially being reelected to the presidency and you have in the sitting president,
00:20:53.900 the presumptive nominee, it's understandable that you're not going to be inclined to do or say things
00:20:59.880 that might weaken that presumptive nominee against Trump, given the threat that he posed and poses.
00:21:08.000 So I totally lied to you. Yeah, we all did, actually. Let me explain to you why. Because the reality of our
00:21:20.480 situation was very bad, but we wanted to trick you into voting for us, so we lied to you. And that's
00:21:26.720 understandable, isn't it? That's all he's saying. That's all he's saying. Yeah, but I'm going to say it
00:21:32.980 in like that kind of millennial, a Democrat way, you know, like where we're all just trying to be
00:21:37.740 Barack Obama. Yeah, it's understandable that we would lie to the voters to trick them because of
00:21:44.180 how bad we were. So we wanted to trick them into electing us and making them think we were good
00:21:49.660 and competent and alive. So you understand that, right? That's why you should trust me now because
00:21:54.900 I'm admitting that I lied to you. Very important story. Netflix is being canceled and my producers are
00:22:02.160 going to tell me why. First, though, I have to tell you about Stopbox. Go to stopboxusa.com and use

00:23:26.440 My favorite comment yesterday is from Mr. ScubaJSB who says,
00:23:31.080 there were no undercover feds on January 6th. There probably weren't any undercover feds on
00:23:35.500 January 6th. Okay, there were 12 undercover feds on January 6th. Actually, there were over 270
00:23:40.480 undercover feds on January 6th. The Democrats every time. Yes, yes. That's where we are. We've now
00:23:45.740 reached the end. Okay, I saw as I was traveling yesterday that Elon is calling on people to cancel
00:23:52.320 Netflix. And he's actually retweeting people when they post their cancellation of their subscription.
00:23:58.100 He's very upset about Netflix. I am reliably informed just because Netflix is sneaking weird
00:24:03.740 LGBT stuff into its programming, even its kids programming. But I don't watch a lot of TV. Okay,
00:24:09.820 I don't watch a lot of Netflix. And so my intrepid producers, led by Mr. Davies, have pulled for me
00:24:16.180 the clips that are getting Netflix canceled. And we will together bring to bear our powers of
00:24:22.660 cultural analysis to see if this merits canceling Netflix. What is the first one? Do we have
00:24:28.080 Michaela May or someone in the control room to tell me what these are? Oh, no. Okay. They gave it to
00:24:32.940 them. They gave me a whole sheet. Okay. So the first one is from some show called The Babysitter's
00:24:37.100 Club. Never heard of it. Never seen it. Take it away.
00:24:39.320 It took a while, but we finally found a file for a Bailey Del Vecchio. Is 32 Burnhill Road
00:24:45.240 still the current address? Yeah. Have you been getting influence? If he's dehydrated,
00:24:49.080 we'll need to place an IV. Have him change into this.
00:24:52.560 I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. Um, well.
00:24:55.680 I hear someone's not feeling well. Let's take a look at the little man.
00:25:03.280 Can I please talk to you two outside?
00:25:09.320 I actually think I have seen this one.
00:25:14.040 You guys are busy, but as you would see, if you looked at her and not her chart, Bailey
00:25:20.240 is not a boy. And by treating her like one, you are completely ignoring who she is. You're
00:25:26.560 making her feel insignificant and humiliated. And that's not going to help her feel good
00:25:31.700 or safe or calm. So I'm here on now. Please recognize her and who she is. And if at all
00:25:40.060 possible, could you find me a non-blue hospital gown?
00:25:42.800 I'm all nice.
00:25:45.660 Marianne.
00:25:46.940 Dad.
00:25:48.420 Oh, Marianne.
00:25:49.500 My favorite response is the doctors. Yes, of course, you crazy little brat. Of course,
00:25:55.680 I'll go listen to what you said. Why did I even go to medical school? I could have just
00:25:58.500 listened to a delusional child and I would have, I would have been able to behave in such
00:26:03.160 a more appropriate manner. Okay. I think I have seen that clip before, but it's a reminder.
00:26:08.620 I mean, it gets to what we were talking about at the top of the show, that there's no common
00:26:12.260 culture anymore. If you just showed me that without any context, without knowing it's on Netflix,
00:26:16.460 I would have assumed that was an AI generated clip made by some right winger to make fun of
00:26:24.300 the stuff the left creates. I didn't know they actually do that. Certainly that, that
00:26:31.100 merits canceling Netflix, but it also, it merits some introspection because I, this is my, my
00:26:38.940 job. My job is to like watch this stuff. My job is to follow the culture and it's hard
00:26:46.460 for me to believe that exists. Oh man, that's bad. It's so funny. It's like funny and dark.
00:26:55.420 All right. The next one is, this is a scene from a movie on Netflix called Strawberry Shortcake
00:27:00.560 and the Beast of Barry Bogg. Sounds wholesome. How are they going to put weird gay stuff in that?
00:27:05.780 Take it away.
00:27:06.420 It's time for Frightfall 101. Welcome to your crash course in holiday self-expression.
00:27:18.100 You look amazing, but what does this have to do with Frightfall?
00:27:24.460 Hello. Frightfall, costumes, dressing up, and your look doesn't need to be scary. See?
00:27:31.880 Honey, be lightly stressed for my fave movie, Breakfast at Mulberry's. It's perfect. It's
00:27:38.300 flawless. It's me.
00:27:42.820 That's really, really insidious. Because at least with the Babysitter's Club, you could say maybe
00:27:48.180 this is a show for adults. I don't think it's for adults, but maybe, okay, it's live action.
00:27:52.480 This is just a cartoon. This is a cartoon for kids that could not be more on the nose if it
00:28:01.780 involved a bullhorn screaming at five-year-olds, hey, do weird sex stuff.
00:28:07.800 Strawberry Shortcake and the Beast from Barry Bogg. Very, very beastly. Okay.
00:28:12.640 The next one, I don't think we have the name of this show. They're telling this is just another
00:28:16.820 new Netflix show. Take it away. It's not the park. It's me. I'm trans, Norma, and everyone at
00:28:27.300 school knows, and everyone at home knows, and being here, it's like a whole new place. I can
00:28:33.340 just be Barney, and I can choose if and when I tell people. I've never been happier. You don't
00:28:38.340 need my permission. I just wouldn't want Courtney as a roommate. We'll be the best of friends.
00:28:46.820 But there's a bad messaging here, which is you need to live your life without apology,
00:28:51.720 which is like the worst advice ever. You should ask forgiveness all the time. You try to live
00:28:56.700 your life without apology. That one, though, the messaging is more subtle there, which maybe
00:29:03.260 makes it worse. I certainly wouldn't let my kid watch it. Okay, final one. This is from
00:29:08.280 Ada Twist Scientist on Netflix. Take it away.
00:29:11.460 Okay, I've got eyes on the cake. Flowers are inbound. People, where's my glitter? This
00:29:19.220 is Cherry Chip, reporting from the wedding of the year. Everyone's favorite karate instructor,
00:29:24.560 Sensei Dave, will be marrying mixed martial arts champion, Jiu-Jitsu Joe. I do. I definitely
00:29:31.480 do. I now pronounce you husband and husband. You may kiss the groom.
00:29:37.140 Oh, man. That's just so intentional. They had to include the kiss, too, because people
00:29:50.160 naturally have a revulsion to two fellas kissing. No knock on guys who are a little light in the
00:29:56.360 loafers out there, but it's just people have a natural revulsion to that. And so I think
00:30:02.980 the argument here is they have to show it because they want to lessen that stigma. They have to
00:30:10.840 get you over that hump because they're trying to say that the revulsion is not natural. It's,
00:30:16.700 you know, socially conditioned. And so they have to get you at a very young age to think that there's
00:30:21.600 such a thing as same-sex marriage and not to think twice if two fellas are kissing or whatever. And
00:30:27.400 I kind of get it. I get their argument. You know, this is the inevitable consequence of Obergefell.
00:30:34.620 Right? This is why it matters. They say, why does it matter? Why does it matter if two people want to
00:30:39.040 get married or how does it affect you? And it's like, because of this, because this show put on
00:30:44.200 the biggest platform for kids is the inevitable consequence of that. If we say from the highest
00:30:50.980 court in the land that marriage really can be a union of two men, then yeah, we need that throughout
00:30:57.780 our popular culture. And if we say that that's true and good, then we have to put that not just
00:31:04.940 in adult programming, but also in children's programming. Because it's true and good. There's
00:31:09.000 nothing obscene about it. There's nothing scandalous about it. It's just true and good. Yeah, we should
00:31:14.080 be playing clips from this in the womb. Right? Now we all know that isn't true. But if you conclude
00:31:21.300 that that isn't true, then you also have to conclude that there's something wrong with Obergefell.
00:31:27.260 You have to conclude that there's something wrong with the notion of gay marriage. Okay,
00:31:30.380 I'm being told by Mr. Davies, we have a bonus clip. This is from a new Jurassic Park cartoon. Take it away.
00:31:36.480 Mr. Sammy, I've fallen for you. Like, hard. Real hard.
00:31:44.080 Oh my gosh. Look at this. Look at this. Jurassic World, guys. Protect the kids.
00:31:51.700 And we sent our kids to bed just before this happened. We didn't even know this was going to happen.
00:31:58.960 I mean, it's definitely less revolting than the two fellas and everything, but no lesbian kissing.
00:32:04.520 No lesbian kissing in our children's shows. Okay. The Daily Wire is growing. New talent,
00:32:09.760 new shows, big things in the works. And to keep up, we're hiring producers and writers.
00:32:13.200 If you can take a show from idea to execution, manage crews, write sharp segments, and deliver

00:32:29.700 been prevented? The warning shot came a year earlier when Al-Qaeda suicide bombers ripped open the USS
00:32:34.700 Cole in Yemen. 17 American sailors were killed. Dozens were wounded. Washington called it a criminal act.
00:32:40.580 In reality, it was Al-Qaeda's declaration of war, and America ignored it. On October 10th,
00:32:45.740 Daily Wire Plus premieres USS Cole, Al-Qaeda's strike before 9-11. The untold story of ignored

00:33:14.320 Hi, Michael. This is Kyle C. My wife and I have been deeply mourning Charlie's murder, and one aspect of it
00:33:21.000 all that has been really hard for both of us, but especially for her, is that the shooter came from
00:33:26.320 a conservative family, but still was radicalized into a left-wing monster. Just like you, we are
00:33:34.040 Catholic and have three kids, five and under, and hopefully more, and we're homeschooling,
00:33:40.740 but we both have been wrestling with the fear and the lack of control and the possibility of something
00:33:47.380 like this happening to one of our kids. What do we do about these feelings? What should I be telling
00:33:53.680 my wife, and what else should I be doing as the head of my household? God bless you, Michael.
00:34:01.580 Okay, great question. First of all, you don't want servile fear. You don't want to just be anxious all
00:34:06.940 the time. Oh, no, what if this happened? You know, we all have all sorts of fears about our kids, and so
00:34:11.960 you got to try to tamp that down, and you want to be prudent. So it's scary when someone seems to come
00:34:17.940 from a good family, and they just go totally nuts. Part of that is people are hardwired differently.
00:34:24.660 There's a piece of that. You know, I got two boys. They're 18 months apart, and they are like night and
00:34:29.800 day, raised by the same people, but one looks like me, one looks like my wife, and they're different,
00:34:37.520 you know, and they behave that way. So there's a little bit of that, but we're not merely determined
00:34:42.520 by our genetics. Of all of the coverage I've seen of Charlie's assassin, the piece that seems to give
00:34:50.460 a lot of it away to me is there was some video or something that was going around of the shooter
00:34:57.020 as a young kid, or social media post or something, constantly online, just living constantly online,
00:35:04.420 and knowing what we now know about him, namely that he was obsessed in all these bizarre internet
00:35:09.540 subcultures, like weird sex subcultures, weird politics subcultures, trans furry weird stuff.
00:35:15.620 It makes sense. If you're that chronically online from the age of 10 or 11, that's going to happen.
00:35:24.080 So what I would do, just as a very practical matter, no smartphones, severely limit the internet time,
00:35:32.420 you know, really keep an eye on that, because this is a portal to hell, right? This thing in your pocket
00:35:37.940 that we have all day long, that's a portal to hell, and in the hands of kids, you're greatly increasing
00:35:44.100 your risks that a kid is going to go south. Okay, next question.
00:35:49.620 Good morning, Michael. This is Arun. So since political assassinations are becoming alarmingly common,
00:35:55.640 I have an important question for you. Let's say hypothetically, and God forbid, that some deranged
00:36:01.400 conservative assassinate a liberal Supreme Court justice, or reverse it, let's say under Joe Biden,
00:36:07.000 a liberal had murdered a conservative justice. Do you think that it is incumbent on the president
00:36:13.560 to appoint a replacement justice, who is of a similar ideological bent to the victim of the
00:36:21.400 assassination, in order to prevent assassinations for political purposes from becoming incentivized?
00:36:28.920 Thank you, as always, for your wisdom.
00:36:33.000 It's a nice thought. Well, it's a terrible thought that a Supreme Court justice would be
00:36:36.500 assassinated, but the left has tried. I mean, they got pretty close with Brett Gavanaugh. They
00:36:41.360 apparently were considering trying for other Supreme Court justices. Alito had to move out of his home,
00:36:46.400 I think. So it's a real possibility, and it's a nice thought. It's a nice thought that, you know,
00:36:53.900 if one of the conservative justices were killed, that a Democrat president would appoint a conservative,
00:36:58.620 vice versa. But it won't happen. You know, the problem is game theory, and the prisoner's dilemma,
00:37:05.960 and just knowing how these things work. It's a nice thought. Would that it were so simple?
00:37:12.020 Not going to happen. Not going to happen. Sorry. Next question.
00:37:14.920 Hey, Michael. Long time listener. Over the past year or so, I've heard you pronounce Italian as
00:37:20.520 I-Talian a handful of times. Lumonte says Italian in his song Lazy Mary, and my whole family used to
00:37:27.680 say Italian, but now only my parents say it that way. Where did the difference in pronunciation come
00:37:32.600 from? Also, as a side note, earlier this week, you said that you put tapatio on your eggs, so I
00:37:40.200 looked it up thinking it'd be a cool new sauce, just to realize you meant tapatio. Thanks.
00:37:45.940 Yeah. I meant tapatio. I put tapatio on. I'm an Italian. I put tapatio on. Also, just a slight
00:37:52.220 correction. You referred to the song Lazy Mary, but the song, properly understood, is called
00:37:58.360 C'è na l'una. C'è na l'una mezzo mare, mamma mia me mare dare. It's a great one. It's a great one by the
00:38:05.720 singer behind Dominic the donkey, which we'll be getting to in December. What do we call it? The
00:38:10.520 Italian language, because we're assimilated here. You see? Capisce? We're assimilated here. So we
00:38:17.780 pronounce it in the English way, the Italian language. Really draw it out all nice. Kind
00:38:23.700 of has a southern twang to it, doesn't it? You know, a lot of Italians went to the south,
00:38:27.620 the south of America. They went, I think my grandfather's family ended up in New Orleans
00:38:31.940 or in Baton Rouge. Then my grandmother's family, they were in West Virginia.
00:38:38.340 Italian, you understand? We got those Italians walking around. Okay, next question.
00:38:43.620 Dear ecclesiastical maestronos, I have come seeking advice. I wondered if you could suggest
00:38:49.180 any methods for improving public speaking. I've always been a vocal person, but it takes
00:38:54.160 sophisticated speech and ordered thinking to speak publicly. How would you suggest practicing
00:38:59.120 to work on that skill? And also, I'd like to try a hypothesis. Speechless, speechless, speechless,
00:39:04.360 speechless, speechless, speechless.
00:39:11.420 No, when I'm on the road, what's going to happen? I'm not going to make my flight.
00:39:19.060 That was, wow. Have we ever done it on the road before? That's a lot. Wow. Yes, I'll tell you how
00:39:24.500 to improve at public speaking. Just speak a lot. Speak a lot. Practice yourself in the mirror.
00:39:28.560 Memorize things. Memorize poems. Memorize other speeches. When you practice them, use a very
00:39:33.820 exaggerated mouth movement so that you kick in some muscle memory. If you're trying to write
00:39:39.200 speeches, you should use the, what is it, like the five canons of rhetoric? Invencio, disposizio,
00:39:45.800 elocutio, memoria, and actio. I think I got those right. I get like, that's pretty good. Digging my old,
00:39:52.160 old, ancient rhetoric courses. These are just different aspects. You know, the idea and the
00:39:59.640 pronunciation of it. And you want to include a logical element, an element of appeal to emotion,
00:40:06.880 establishing your credibility. You want to do that also. But the way to get started is just
00:40:12.300 walking around your house, reciting poetry, feeling it out, hearing it. That's how you're going to get
00:40:19.080 better at it. Okay. No membrum segmentum today because I have to go catch my flight. I will see
00:40:22.720 you back in the studio on Monday. I'm Michael Knowles. This is the Michael Knowles Show.
