And I'm Michael Knowles, and this is The Michael Knowles Show.
The Michael Knowles Show.
Welcome back to the show.
Netflix is canceled.
Elon has declared it so I don't make the rules.
That's how it goes.
We will see why.
My producers have prepared for me some horrifying, horrifying clips.
First, though, I want to tell you about Birch Gold.
Tex Knowles to 98, 98, 98.
I want to be very blunt.
Gold is up around 40% this year.
That is not speculation, that is a reality.
If a portion of your savings is not diversified into gold, you are missing the boat.
Here are the facts.
Inflation is still too high.
The US dollar is still too weak.
The government debt is insurmountable.
This is why central banks are flocking to gold.
They're the ones driving prices up to record highs.
But it is not too late to buy gold from Birch Gold Group and get in the door now.
Birch Gold will help you convert an existing IRA or 401k into a tax-sheltered IRA in gold.
You do not pay a dime out of pocket.
You know, I'm a little bit of a gold bug, so I've got I've got a decent amount of gold in my portfolio.
And as I mentioned, it's up 40% this year, so it's pretty good.
Just text Knowles, Canada WLES to 98, 98, 98.
Claim your free info kit.
No obligation, just useful information.
The best indicator of the future is the past, and gold has historically been a safe haven for millennia.
What else can say that?
Tex Knowles, Canada WLES to 98, 98, 98.
Right now, claim your free info kit on gold.
That is Knowles, Canada W L E S to 98, 98, 98.

Bad Bunny coming to the Super Bowl.
Who is Bad Bunny?
I thought, I sincerely thought Bad Bunny was that girl from Maury or Dr. Phil.
And she was on that.
You remember the girl who's like cash me outside by that?
And she she called herself Bad, I thought Bad Bunny, but it's not.
She's Bad Baby.
And Bad Baby will not be performing at the Super Bowl.
I don't know what she does other than that clip.
She could reenact that clip.
Bad Bunny is a Puerto Rican crossdresser.
So Bad Bunny is this Puerto Rican rapper or singer or whatever.
And apparently he's popular.
I'd never heard of him.
And he wears dresses, but he's not trans, and I don't even know if he's a drag queen.
But he's he wears dresses, and this is the crucial part.
He hates Donald Trump.
He hates Trump.
He's very anti-ICE.
He's very anti-immigration enforcement.
And that's why he was picked for the Super Bowl.
A lot of people don't quite know why the Super Bowl would make this pick.
Is it because the NFL is just so super duper woke?
Yeah, the NFL is pretty woke.
The NFL is the league of Colin Kaepernick and protesting the American flag and the separate black national anthem as if black people can't sing the regular national anthem.
And so the NFL's awful.
I don't like the NFL.
I don't watch professional football.
It doesn't do anything for me.
But that's not the only reason that they picked Mr. Bunny to play the Super Bowl.
The reason is this is the last best shot to turn something of the common culture against Trump.
124 million people watch a Super Bowl last year.
That's a lot of people.
Well, we say, you know, the ratings for the Oscars are down, and the ratings for Network TV are down, and the ratings for this, all the ratings are down except for the Super Bowl.
124 million people is still really, really impressive.
And so the Libs, who still run the media, they need to turn some part of the common culture against Trump.
I think for the younger people in the audience, the real takeaway here is this is what TV just used to be.
This is what all TV used to be.
This is what the movies used to be.
There used to be a common culture.
Everyone used to watch the same shows.
Everyone used to go see the same movies.
That started to fragment in the 2000s, 20 teens.
Then you get independent media, podcast culture, social media, all this stuff.
And all of a sudden, people aren't watching this stuff.
And I don't even know who Bad Bunny is, but I know what the Super Bowl is.
So back in those days, when we could just trust the man on the news, everything was super lib.
And so if you could control Like five people, you could control the political narrative in the country.
That doesn't work anymore, with this one exception.
The common culture.
The Super Bowl might be the last common culture artifact, other than Trump, though Trump is still polarizing.
He won the popular vote, but he's still polarizing.
So that's really what this is about.
They have to do this.
And it doesn't matter if the people watching at home want to see a cross-dressing Puerto Rican who hates immigration and immigration raids and ice and deportations.
It doesn't matter.
They're going to try to ram it down your throats because they think people love the Super Bowl enough to watch it.
And maybe that's true.
I don't love the Super Bowl enough.
I don't care about professional football at all, so I probably won't watch it.
Oh, but who knows?
You know what?
I probably will have to, because it's part of the common culture, and I'll have to talk about it on the show.
So they get away with it.
Now, turning to cross dressers closer to home.
I am at Harvard right now.
I gave a speech at Harvard Law School last night for YAF.
Weirdly, Harvard does not let you live stream speeches.
It's like the only school that doesn't let you live stream.
So it was a great time last night.
We got the video.
Hopefully, we can try to air that soon.
But I'm still here, still here in Cambridge.
And it was an amazing day to go to Harvard because hours earlier, Harvard announced that it had hired a new professor.
And the professor's name is Lahore Vajastan.
It's a guy.
He dresses up like a lady.
And his name is Lahore Vajastan.
Harvard costs $90,000 a year to attend.
And that's one of the professors they can expect.
Professor Vajastan was not at my speech last night at Harvard Law School.
Professor Vajastan probably was preparing his two classes that he will be teaching.
The first one is queer ethnography in the fall.
And the other one is rue politics, rue politics, get it.
Drag race, drag race, get drag race, and desire in the spring.
Here is Professor Vajastan describing his pedagogy.
Education that happens through drag.
I was seeing these other places.
So that's what I ended up writing about in the book, even though I wasn't writing about drag.
I'm finishing another book called Decolonize Drag that is thinking about how colonialism has solidified the gender binaries in such a way that we only think of drag as one thing.
We think drag is cis people of one of one gender, dressing as the quote unquote opposite gender, right?
And that formulate, once we start breaking that apart, we start seeing drag everywhere.
And we start seeing that drag drag is limited by by class and race, uh, or what we think as that excellent form of of expensive drag is limited by class and race and caste and geography.
So really dismantling colonial uh binaries can help us see drag in more places, give give more people credit for their artistry.
And the last thing I'll mention is that Lahore Vajastan sometimes shows up to teach my classes instead of me.
Um, so Harvard kids, you can expect Lahore to show up.
Uh you don't know when Lahore is going to show up, but but he or she will be there.
What's most depressing about this class is not even that he's a sex freak and he talks about being a sex freak.
It's it's more all the other stuff he talks about.
Because this is basically every Harvard class.
This is basically every university class now.
You go in, you say, okay, this particular subject, this hyper-specialized subject that I've devoted my life to, because I can't be a generalist and I want to read a ton of books, or you're gonna pick some really niche thing.
This really specific thing is actually everything.
That's the first part.
So you say, people think drag is when one sex dresses as the other.
But actually, it's everything.
Okay, that's first part.
Then the second part is you just say a bunch of buzzy liberal words.
The deconstructing the colonial sexual binary Of drag mathematics.
They could teach that in the math department.
And it would be just like every other modern university class.
That's what's most depressing to me about this.
If it were actually about the aesthetics of drag shows, or I don't know, the history of drag shows, it might be, it's not worth teaching at Harvard, but it might be slightly interesting.
But it's just the same as every other class in the sociology department, or increasingly in the history department, the American Studies department.
It's the deconstructing the binary of drag, which is everything.
And it just reminds me of the paradox of tolerance.
The paradox of tolerance, which I talk about in my speech whenever we put it up.
The paradox of tolerance is that as a society comes to tolerate increasingly aberrant ideas and behaviors.
It necessarily stops tolerating normal ideas and behaviors.
And vice versa.
As a society is more tolerant of normal ideas and behaviors, it toler it stops tolerating the aberrant ones.
So a really relevant example of this is as the society tolerates men in the women's bathroom, it stops tolerating separate bathrooms for women.
Because you can't have both of those things simultaneously.
And so this message is that Harvard is just going to keep going in this direction.
Which means Trump is going to keep pummeling them into the ground and making an example because they're the first, the first school in America.
Okay.
Now, speaking of lunatics with funny names, Zoran Mamdani has a bunch of postmodern gobbledygook to say about deconstructing violence.
We'll get to that momentarily.
First, I want to tell you about AMRA.
Go to ARMRA.com/slash knolls.
We are living in a world that our bodies were not built for EMFs, artificial light, seed oils, microplastics, endocrine disruptors, chronic stress.
These modern threats are disrupting our cellular signaling, damaging our gut health, and accelerating aging from the inside out.
But what if there were a way to revive your body's natural defenses?
Armor colostrum is nature's first whole food packed with over 400 bioactive nutrients that work at the cellular level to reactivate your body's innate capacity to regenerate and thrive.

Plus, it ignites your metabolism by guarding against toxins that drive inflammation and slow you down.
Are you ready to reclaim your health?
You know, Mr. Davies swears by this stuff.
Do you want to are you ready to look like a giga chad like him?

AR-M-R-A.com slash Knowles, K N O W L E S. The future mayor of New York, Zoran Mamdani, a Muslim socialist in favor of queer liberation, now has come out on the trail to declare that violence is merely a social construct.
Oftentimes we've even found as legislators when we go into these courts, the term violent crime is even used when people are stealing packages.
Violent crime is even used when people are accused of burglary, and there happens to be a housing unit in that same dwelling.
So violence is an artificial construction.
We have to be very clear what is happening here with these district attorneys.
That is violence.
That is violence at the highest.
Violence, you see, is an artificial construction.
It's amazing that he could declare this amid this spike in violence around the country, crime in cities, and then particularly left-wing violence, left-wing political violence that has become so pronounced that even the Atlantic magazine, as liberal a magazine as ever there was, has to has to point to the left-wing terrorism being on the rise.
One of the kids at Harvard last night asked me what I would do to restore order.
This is this has been a theme that we've been talking about in recent weeks.
It was a theme of my speech.
How do you restore order to your society, as we seem to be fraying, coming apart at the seams?
And the first thing you would do is you would arrest the criminals.
You would enforce the criminal law.
Because that's the basic function of government.
It's why it's so preposterous when the Democrats come out and say they want to abolish the police or abolish prisons.
That is the basic function of government is to be the authority that maintains the peace by punishing the bad guys to protect the good guys.
That is what government does.
If a government does not do that because it's incompetent or because it just doesn't want to, that government is simply not legitimate.
And you need you need a legitimate government to step in.
And Zorron here, he says, no, but violence, man, it's like, hey, uh, Mr. Davis, can you pass that bomb for just one violence, man?
It's like, what does it even mean, you know?
It's like what is drag?
You know, it's like when we think drag is just one sex dressing up like the other.
You get locked in a colonial binary, man.
But when you look out and you see everything is drag.
And also, everything is violence, man, which means nothing's violence, you know.
You dig, you dig slim.
Uh no, I don't know.
I think most people realize there is such a thing as violence, and it's on the rise in certain places, and it's made our cities unlivable.
And it got pretty bad in New York there for a while, and we want a mayor who can stop it.
I think, maybe not.
Maybe I'm wrong, because I think he's going to be mayor.
What else is he going to do besides ignore violent crime?
Zo ran mom Donnie wants to buy up housing and make New York City communist.
I don't know how else to say it.
We can establish community land trusts to gradually buy up housing on the private market and convert it to community ownership.
We can give tenants a right of first refusal to buy out their landlords when buildings go up for sale.
And we can fully commit to a new era of social housing.
Ending subsidies for luxury housing development and using our wealth to build beautiful, high quality social housing projects that offer good homes and strong communities to everyone.
We won't decommodify housing overnight.
But we know what we have to do, and we have history to guide us.
We have the science of history marching on to guide us.
Yes, that's right.
We will uh liquidate the Kulaks.
Yes, we're gonna we're gonna have to liquidate them.
And uh we're gonna have a cultural revolution that uh brings us into a new era of social housing.
What is social housing?
Can you tell me what social housing is?
How is social housing different from any other kind of housing?
Isn't housing a social thing in itself?
Isn't it's the smallest society, it's the family.
Be curious to hear Zo Ron Mamdanny's thoughts on the family.
It it houses the smallest social unit, and then it exists within a broader society.
So what is the difference between housing and social housing?
Social housing is socialist, at least, or it just seems kind of communist.
Yes, we need to go beyond the market.
We need to go beyond the market, yes.
And we're going to buy up all the houses, and we're gonna pack all the people into the project.
He even calls it a project.
Crazy that people can vote for this guy.
When I, you know what I you know what New York needs more of?
Projects.
Yeah, oh, just beautiful projects.
Yes, that's right.
I'm driving through the South Bronx.
I just love looking at all those beautiful projects.
And it's gonna be a new era of social housing.
It's gonna, and the new era is going to be called the 1970s.
That's what it's going to be.
Okay, all right.
So he is what he is.
You got to give him credit for being honest.
He is super radical.
He is a commie.
And New York might vote for him.
Okay.
All right.
I can't stop him.
I'm not, I'm not a New Yorker anymore.
I'm not a New York citizen, New York resident.
Okay.
Now, turning to slightly more normal Democrats, slightly more normal, equally threatening, Dick Blumenthal, senator from Connecticut, just goes on MSNBC to uh complain about the Republicans wielding political power in ways they don't like and to make a threat.
The old saying, what comes around goes around, you know, today it's a Republican president, but degrading the democracy and ruining, literally perverting the great ethos and tradition of the Department of Justice, where I was in awe when I walked through those halls as a federal prosecutor.
I think it's time for Republican colleagues to say enough is enough, and we are gonna push them and do it hard.
Okay, so do you hear the implicit threat here?
He speaks like a normal, boring politician.
But he's all upset that the DOJ indicted James Comey.
He says, you know, these Republicans, they better think long and hard.
They better think long and hard about what they're doing right now, because just wait until we're back in power.
Oh, we're going to indict all of them.
And this is the fear that's raised by the libertarians and some of the more squishy Republicans.
They say, well, Trump really had better not wield political power in a just way.
Because in the future, if Democrats come back to office, they're going to do that against us.
I just think not only does that argument fail because the Democrats have been doing that against us for a long time and they tried to prosecute Trump four times and throw him off the ballot and justify his assassination.
Not only have they already been doing that, but they're promising to do it again in the future.
So the squish response to that is well, see, they're serious.
They're super serious.
They're going to do it again in the future if we don't surrender right now, so we should surrender, right?
And then they'll be nice to us.
And to me, I would I would draw the opposite conclusion.
I would say, hold on.
They're already promising to wield political power in likely an unjust way in the future.
So that's all the more reason for us to exercise just political power now.
They're telegraphing to you what they're going to do.
They're going to come out and they're going to beat you up and they're going to use it.
So you don't let them do it.
You got to try to weaken them now so that they don't do it in the future.
I'm not saying to do that in an extra legal or unjust way.
I'm just saying just enforce the law.
Prosecute the people who should be prosecuted.
They're promising you what that they're going to hurt you the second they're able to get back up.
Don't let them get back up.
This is like School Yard 101, isn't it?
Now, speaking of Democrat senators, John Ossoff.
Remember John Ossoff?
He said Senator from Georgia.
John Ossoff just went on some podcast.
And he actually admitted the Democrat perfidy.
It's a Democrats are saying all the quiet parts out loud now.
Yeah, we are going to wheel the law against you.
Yeah, we are going to prosecute our enemies.
Yeah, we are going to do this.
Well, Ossoff is admitting now that he lied about Joe Biden's dementia to stop Trump.
We just didn't listen to the mounds and mounds of data that was out there.
I think that like the the most brutally honest answer to that question is, you know, when you're facing the specter of Donald Trump potentially being re-elected to the presidency,
and you have in the sitting president, the presumptive nominee, it's understandable that you're not gonna be inclined to do or say things that might weaken that presumptive nominee against Trump, right, given the threat that he posed and poses.
But I totally lied to you.
Uh yeah, we all did, actually.
We all let me explain to you why.
Because the reality of our situation was very bad.
But we wanted to trick you into voting for us, so we lied to you.
And that's understandable, isn't it?
That's all he's saying.
It's all he's saying.
Yeah, but I'm gonna say it in like that kind of millennial Democrat way, you know, like where we're all just trying to be Barack Obama.
Yeah, it's understandable that we would lie to the voters to trick them because of how bad we were.
So we wanted to trick them into electing us and making them think we were good and competent and alive.
So you understand that, right?
That's why you should trust me now, because I'm admitting that I lied to you.
Very important story.

My favorite comment yesterday is from Mr. Scuba JSB, who says there were no undercover feds on January 6th.
There probably weren't any undercover feds on January 6th.
Okay, there were 12 undercover feds on January 6th.
Actually, there were over 270 undercover feds on January 6th.
The Democrats every time.
Yes.
Yes.
That's where we are.
We've now reached, we've now reached the end.
Okay.
I saw as I was traveling yesterday that Elon is calling on people to cancel Netflix.
And he's actually retweeting people when they post their cancellation of their subscription.
He's very upset about Netflix.
I am reliably informed it is because Netflix is sneaking weird LGBT stuff into its programming, even its kids' programming.
But I don't watch a lot of TV.
Okay, I don't watch a lot of Netflix.
And so my intrepid producers, led by Mr. Davies, have pulled for me the clips that are getting Netflix canceled.
And we will together bring to bear our powers of cultural analysis to see if this merits canceling Netflix.
What is the first one?
Do we have Michaela May or someone in the in the control room to tell me what these are?
Oh no, okay.
They gave it to her.
They gave me a whole sheet.
Okay.
So the first one is from some show called The Babysitters Club.
Never heard of it, never seen it.
Take it away.
It took a while, but we finally found a file for a Daily Del Vecchio.
Is 32 Burn Helm Rose still the current address?
Yeah.
Have you been getting influence?
If he's dehydrated, we'll need to place an IE.
Hasn't changed into this.
Um, well.
I hear someone's not feeling well.
Let's take a look a little bit.
Can I please talk to you two outside?
Okay?
Thank you.
I do think I have seen this.
You guys are busy, but as you would see, if you looked at her and not her chart, Bailey is not a boy.
And by treating her like one, you are completely ignoring who she is.
You're making her feel insignificant and humiliated.
And that's not gonna help her feel good or safe or calm.
So I'm here on L. Please recognize her for who she is.
And if at all possible, could you find me a non-blue hospital gown?
Dad.
Oh, Marion.
My favorite response is the doctors.
Yes, of course, you crazy little brat.
Of course, I'll go listen to what you said.
Why did I even go to medical school?
I could have just listened to a delusional child, and then I would have, I would have been able to behave in such a more appropriate manner.
Okay.
I think I have seen that clip before, but it's a reminder.
I mean, it gets to what we were talking about at the top of the show, that there's no common culture anymore.
If you just showed me that without any context, without knowing it's on Netflix, I would have assumed that was an AI generated clip made by some right winger to make fun of the stuff the left creates.
I didn't know they actually do that.
Certainly that that merits canceling Netflix, but it also merits some introspection.
Because I this is my my job.
My job is to like watch this stuff.
My job is to follow the culture, and it's hard for me to believe that exists.
Oh man.
That's bad.
It's so funny.
It's like funny and dark.
All right, the next one is.
This is a scene from a movie on Netflix called Strawberry Shortcake and the beast of berry bog.
Sounds wholesome.
How are they gonna put weird gay stuff in that?
Take it away.
It's time for right ball 101.
Welcome to your crash course in holiday self-expression.
You look amazing.
But what does this have to do with Frightfall?
Hello for right ball.
Costumes, dressing up, and your look doesn't need to be scary.
See?
Honey bee lightly stressed for my fave movie, Breakfast at Mulberries.
It's perfect.
It's flawless.
It's me.
That's really, really insidious.
Because at least with the babysitters club, you could say maybe this is a show for adults.
I don't think it's for adults, but maybe okay, it's live action.
This is just a cartoon.
This is a cartoon for kids that is that could not be more on the nose if it involved a bullhorn screaming at five-year-olds.
Hey, do weird sex stuff?
Strawberry Shortcake and the Beast from Barry Bog.
Very, very beastly.
Okay.
The next one, I don't think we have the name of this show.
This is just they're telling me this is just another new Netflix show.
Take it away.
It's not the park.
It's me.
I'm trans Norma.
And everyone at school knows, and everyone at home knows.
And being here, it's like a whole new place.
I can just be Barney.
And I can choose if and when I tell people.
I've never been happier.
You don't need my permission.
I just wouldn't want Courtney as a roommate.
We'll be in the past of friends.
There's bad messaging here, which is you need to live your life without apology.
Which is like the worst advice ever.
You should ask forgiveness all the time.
You try to live your life without apology.
That one, though, it's it that's the messaging is more subtle there, which maybe makes it worse.
I certainly wouldn't let my kid watch it.
Okay, final one.
This is from Ada Twist Scientist on Netflix.
Take it away.
Okay, I've got eyes on the cake.
Flowers are inbound.
People, there's my glitteress!
It's Cherry Chet reporting from the wedding of the year.
Everyone's favorite karate instructor, Sensei Dave, will be marrying mixed martial arts champion Chujitsu Cho.
I do.
I definitely do.
I now pronounce you husband and husband.
You may kiss the groom.
Woo-hoo!
Yay!
Yay!
Bye.
Thank you.
Oh man, that's just so intentional.
And they they had to include the kiss too, because people naturally have a revulsion to fellas kissing.
No, no knock on guys who are a little light in the loafers out there, but you know, it's just people have a natural revulsion to that.
Uh and so I think I think the argument here is they have to show it because they want to lessen that stigma.
They have to uh get you over that hump because they're trying to say that it it the revulsion is not natural, it's you know socially conditioned, and so they have to get you at a very young age to think that there's such a thing as same-sex marriage, and not to think twice if two fellas are kissing or whatever.
And I kind of get it, I get their argument.
You know, this this is the inevitable consequence of a burger fell.
Right?
This is this is why it matters.
They say, why does it matter?
Why does it matter if two people want to get married or whatever?
How does it affect you?
And it's like, because of this, because this show put on the biggest platform for kids, is the inevitable consequence of that.
If we say from the highest court in the land that marriage really can be a union of two men, then yeah, we need that threat, our popular culture.
And if we say that that's true, then and good, then we have to put that not just in adult programming, but also in children's programming.
Because it's true and good.
There's nothing obscene about it, there's nothing scandalous about it.
It's just true and good.
You should, yeah, we should be playing clips from this in the womb, right?
Now we all know that isn't true, but if you conclude that that isn't true, then you also have to conclude that there's something wrong with Obergafell.
You have to conclude that there's something wrong with the notion of gay marriage.
Okay, I'm being told by Mr. Davies we have a bonus clip.
This is from a new Jurassic Park cartoon.
takeaway Oh.
Real hard.
Oh my gosh.
Look at look at this drastic world guys protect the kids.
We sent our kids to bed just before this happened.
We didn't even know this was gonna happen.
I mean, it's definitely less revolting than the two fellas and everything, but no, no, no lesbian kissing.
No lesbian kissing in our children's shows.
Okay.

What if I told you 9-11 could have been prevented?
The warning shot came a year earlier when Al-Qaeda suicide bombers ripped open the USS Cole in Yemen.
Seventeen American sailors were killed, dozens were wounded.
Washington called it a criminal act.
In reality, it was Al-Qaeda's declaration of war, and America ignored it.
On October 10th, Daily War Plus premieres USS Cole, Al-Qaeda's strike before 9-11.
The untold story of ignored intelligence, the blast itself, and the investigation that exposed Al-Qaeda's network.
Less than a year later, the towers fell.

Hi, Michael.
This is Kyle C. My wife and I have been deeply mourning Charlie's murder, and one aspect of it all that has been really hard for both of us, but especially for her, is that the shooter came from a conservative family, but still was radicalized into a left-wing monster.
Just like you, we are Catholic and have three kids, five and under, and hopefully more, uh, and we're homeschooling.
Uh, but we both have been wrestling with the fear um and the lack of control and the possibility of something like this happening to one of our kids.
Uh, what do we do about these feelings?
Uh, what should I be telling my wife?
And uh what what else should I be doing as a head of my whole household?
Uh God bless you, Michael.
Okay, great question.
First of all, you don't want servile fear.
You don't want to just be anxious all the time.
Oh no, what if this happened?
You know, we all have uh all sorts of fears about our kids, and so you gotta you gotta try to tamp that down.
Uh and you want to be prudent.
So it's scary when someone seems to come from a good family and they just go totally nuts.
Uh part of that is people are hardwired differently.
There's a l there's a piece of that.
You know, I got two boys, they're 18 months apart, and they are like night and day.
Raised by the same people, same, but they they one looks like me, one looks like my wife.
And they're different, you know, and they behave that way.
So there's a little bit of that.
But we're not merely determined by our genetics.
Uh of all of the coverage I've seen of Charlie's assassin, the the piece that seems to give a lot of it away to me is there was some video or something that was going around of the shooter as a young kid, or social media post or something, constantly online, just living constantly online.
And knowing what we now know about him, namely that he was obsessed in all these bizarre internet subcultures, like weird sex subcultures, weird politics, subcultures, trans furry weird stuff.
Uh it's it makes sense.
If you're if you were that chronically online from the age of 10 or 11, that's gonna happen.
Uh so what I would do, just as a very practical matter.
No smartphones, severely limit the the internet.
You know, really keep an eye on that because it is this is a portal to hell, right?
This thing, this thing in your pocket that we have hold all day long.
That's a portal to hell, and in the hands of kids, it's uh you're you're greatly increasing your risks that uh a kid is gonna go go south.
Okay, next question.
Good morning, Michael.
This is Arun.
So since political assassinations are becoming alarmingly common, I have an important question for you.
Let's say hypothetically, and God forbid, That some deranged conservative assassinated a liberal Supreme Court justice, or reverse it, let's say under Joe Biden, a liberal had murdered a conservative justice.
Do you think that it is incumbent on the president to appoint a replacement justice who is of a similar ideological bent to the victim of the assassination in order to prevent assassinations for political purposes from becoming incentivized?
Thank you as always for your wisdom.
It's a nice thought.
Well, it's a terrible thought that a Supreme Court justice would be assassinated, but the left has tried.
I mean, they got pretty close with Brett Gavanaugh.
They apparently were considering trying for other uh Supreme Court justices.
Alito had to move out of his home, I think.
So it's a real possibility.
Um, and it's a nice thought.
It's a nice thought that, you know, if if one of the conservative justices were killed that a Democrat president would appoint a conservative, vice versa.
But it won't happen.
You know, the problem is game theory and uh and the prisoner's dilemma and just knowing how these things work.
It's a it's a nice thought.
Would that it were so simple?
Not gonna happen.
Not gonna happen.
Sorry.
Next question.
Hey Michael, longtime listener.
Over the past year or so, I've heard you pronounce Italian as I Italian a handful of times.
Lumonte says Italian in his song Lazy Mary, and my whole family used to say Italian, but now only my parents say it that way.
Where did the difference in pronunciation come from?
Also, as a side note, earlier this week, you said that you put Topatio on your eggs.
So I looked it up thinking it'd be a cool new sauce, just to realize you meant tapatillo.
Thanks.
Yeah.
I meant Tapatio.
I meant I put Tapatio on.
I'm an Italian, I put Tapatio on.
Also, just a slight correction, you referred to the song Lazy Mary.
But the song it properly understood is called Cena Luna.
Cena Luna, mezzumare, mamma, miamaridar.
That's a way it's a great one.
It's a great one by the singer behind Dominic the Donkey, which we'll be getting to in in December.
What do we call it the Italian language?
Because we're assimilated here.
You see?
Gabish?
We're assimilated here.
So we pronounce it in the English way, the I Italian language.
Really draw it out all nice.
Kind of has a southern twang to it, doesn't it?
You know, a lot of Italians went to the South.
The South of America.
They went, I think my grandfather's family ended up in New Orleans or in Baton Rouge.
Then my grandmother's family, they were in West Virginia.
Italian, you understand?
We got those Italians walking around.
Okay, next next question.
Dear Ecclesiastical Maestronos, I have come seeking advice.
I wondered if you could suggest any methods for improving public speaking.
I've always been a vocal person, but it takes sophisticated speech and ordered thinking to speak publicly.
How would you suggest practicing to work on that school?
Uh yes, I'll tell you how to improve public speaking.
Just speak a lot.
Speak a lot, practice yourself in the mirror, memorize things, memorize poems, memorize other speeches.
When you practice them, use very exaggerated mouth movements so that you're you kick in some muscle memory.
If you're trying to write speeches, you should use the what is it, like the five canons of rhetoric?
Inventio, dispositio, elocutio, memoria, and actio.
I think I got those right.
I like that's pretty good.
Digging my old old ancient rhetoric courses.
Um these are just different aspects, you know, the the idea and the pronunciation of it and the you you want to include a logical element, uh, an element of appeal to emotion, a uh establishing your credibility, you want to do that also.
Um but the way to get started is just walking around your house, reciting poetry, feeling it out, hearing it.
That's uh that's how you're gonna get better at it.
Okay, no membranum segmentum today, because I have to go catch my flight.
