Coincidentally, three years almost to the day after my CPAC speech, calling for the eradication

of transgenderism. I think we did it. Michael Knowles is the Michael Knowles show.

Welcome back to the show. I leave town. I had a great speech last night. Wonderful time in

Grove City College. I'm not saying the speech was great. I mean, I think the audience enjoyed it.

But I mean, the whole event was great to be one of the few true conservative colleges in the country.

Then this morning heading to CPAC to give, I don't know, who should we eradicate this year?

Who knows? I don't know. What headlines can we get in Rolling Stone this year? But

back in Nashville, back in my town, even the hockey team is going gay. The Nashville predators,

the hockey team, they're going gay three months before pride. They had a pride night in March.

It's now pride quarter of the year. We'll get to all of that. Anyway, first, I want to tell you

about cow guys. Go to cowguys.com. I love cow guys. So for me, for a very long time, I didn't pay

attention to my skin, to my, even the only thing I would use is underarm. And what would I use?

The most toxic, chemically poisonous nonsense. And Alisa would get on me about it. She said,

Mac, stop doing that. You got to use beef dallow. I'm not putting beef dallow. What are you talking

about? That's not going to work. It's going to be, I tried it and it really worked. So she's a very

discerning woman. I had her try cow guys. Right when cow guys came out, I said, you got to try cow

guys. Let me know if this, I don't know if it's going to be as good as my other toe. She goes,

cow guys is great. And that is a real endorsement. That is one. She knows what she's talking about.

Me? What do I know? But she knows what she's talking about. You can get their bomb.

You can get the organic compounds that are bioidentical to your skin barrier.

face. Go check it out right now. You can get three to four months of moisturizer for 34 bucks.

This is the most disturbing story that maybe you've ever heard in your whole life.

I'll try to speak about it in ways that it won't be too graphic. This is a family show,

but I'm not going to, I'll tell you what happened. And then we'll talk about what it means,

because there's massive political import here. The story is this woman, Noelia Castillo.

She was 25 years old and she was killed yesterday. She was killed sort of by herself,

sort of by the state. She had what they call euthanasia, euthanasia, which means good death.

That's an ironic or well-earned term because it actually refers to the very worst kind of death,

which is a suicide. A suicide made all the more scandalous because it is a suicide sanctioned

and actually encouraged by the state. She killed herself with the blessing and encouragement

of her government, which is supposed to be looking out for her common good. After she was left

reportedly partially paralyzed after a previous suicide attempt, she tried to jump out of a window.

It's unclear exactly how paralyzed she was. Some outlets were reporting that she was paraplegic,

but then I think she countered that and said, no, I put on my makeup. I take myself to the bathroom,

but I just want to kill myself. She previously had attempted suicide because, and this is where it

gets really, really dark. You thought it was darker, right? So, this gal was taken out of her

parents' home. Her parents got divorced. I guess they fell on hard times. They got divorced. She

was taken out of her parents' home and placed in a state institution. When she was in the state

institution, three illegal migrants, I don't know if it was actually, I don't know if it was

three. It was multiple. The reporting is a little nebulous on here. It might be three. It might be

more. It was definitely multiple illegal migrants assaulted her. This obviously traumatized her and

no one took care of her. This is the consistent story of this girl's life. No one seems to have

taken care of her at any turn. As much as her family wanted to take care of her, the government

wouldn't let her family take care of her and then the government put her into a place where she

was being victimized and then the government didn't take care of her. Then she was so traumatized.

She tried to kill herself when she was able to survive happily. She goes to the government and

the government says, oh, do you want us to help you kill yourself? We can kill yourself for you.

And she said, yes. Then her father said, no, please don't kill my daughter. I don't want you to kill

my daughter. They were locked in some court battle and then the government said, no, never mind.

According to some of the reporting, the family, the friends were not allowed to even get in there in

the last days. Again, I keep saying some reporting, some reporting because it's very unclear

in their conflicting reports. There was one report that said that the girl seemed to express

doubts in the final days, but did it anyway? And one thing that is clear from everyone,

everyone, every single person who has ever survived a suicide attempt, they all regret it.

They all regret it. 100% of them. If they are able to have any conscious thought at all

between pulling the trigger, jumping off the ledge, whatever it is and oblivion or worse than

oblivion, they regret it. So regardless, she killed herself. Here are her words.

I have no desire to do anything, not to go out, not to eat, not to do anything at all,

sleeping is very difficult for me. Furthermore, I suffer from back pain as well as leg pain.

So right off the bat, this is a girl who is depressed. If she is going to the government for

her medical care, if she is going to the government for psychiatric treatment, you would expect

the government to try to help her, but instead what the government did is kill her. It's the opposite

of the Hippocratic oath. I have always felt alone, she said, because I've never felt understood.

No one has ever empathized with me and I've always struggled with interpersonal relationships.

Your heart just breaks, reading every word of this. Even before requesting,

Euthanasia, I viewed my world as very dark. So a very dark ending ahead of me. I had no goals,

no objectives, nothing at all. And I still have no goals, no objectives. And she killed herself.

Sorry, I keep saying she killed herself. Yes, she sort of killed herself and the state encouraged

her to do it and then helped her do it and the state murdered her. She killed herself,

but also the state murdered her. And I'm beginning to think that we're the baddies.

You know that old sketch? Are we the baddies? It's the Nazis talk. We might be the baddies.

I don't know where the gooddies were, the baddies. I'm starting to think we're the baddies. We're not

the only baddies. It's not like China or Russia or Iran or better. They're much worse in like most

ways. But I'm starting to think we might be the baddies. Just use the comparison to a communist

country like China or Russia in the Soviet Union. This is bad in a different way than that was bad.

This extreme of liberalism is bad in a different way than the extreme of communism is bad.

But weirdly, they both end up the same way with the state killing innocent citizens.

They're bad in different ways though. In communism, during the purges, Lenin would just go in

starting with Lenin and then obviously accelerating with Stalin. We just go in and just kill people,

kill political enemies, kill dissidents, kill classes of people that he didn't want around anymore

because they were a political impediment to him. Just go in, kill him, sometimes torture him,

get rid of him. That's really bad. The degradation of human life under communism because all

the human beings were just considered to be cogs in a machine and all that mattered was the state

and the science of history and the individuals and the souls didn't matter at all. They were

denied most of the time. That's bad. But liberalism is what led to this. Spain's not a communist

country. The communists tried to take over Spain and then Francisco Franco beat him out and then

they're pretty left-wing but they're not communists. They're liberals. We have assisted suicide,

assisted suicide, euthanasia, state sanctioned murder and suicide combined. We have that in America.

We have that in multiple states. We see that all over Europe, the Netherlands. We see that in

Canada, America's evil top hat. There's something here that the killer is in the house and that's

liberalism. How is liberalism bad? Liberalism says that all of life is only about you.

Liberalism has this false premise that we own ourselves. You don't own yourself. It has this

false idea that you create yourself. You're self-actualizing me. You're not. You're not. You didn't

choose to come into this world. You're not supposed to choose how to go out of this world

and many things are beyond your control. You have free will but you have to cooperate with reality

and with God's grace and yet liberalism denies all of that. And liberalism also breaks down

human solidarity to the point that the ancient distinction between good government and bad

government was a good government. It was for the common good, bad government was for private

interest. Now, both parties in many ways deny that there's such a thing as the common good.

So the state goes in and says, you know what? You're depressed and it's going to be expensive

to treat you and we don't want to go arrest the migrants who raped you. We're not going to,

we don't, you know, the migrants are under, they're under enough scrutiny as it is. And actually,

we have some people who need some organs anyway. So, you know, let's just, can we kill you?

How's Tuesday look? Because I got a tea time and I'm busy. Can we just kill you?

If you're old, if you're sick, if you're poor, if you're depressed, in this case, if you have

organs, as I left out, maybe the most gruesome part, according to some reporting, she was an organ

donor. So according to some, again, I don't know, there'll be conflicting news today, it was

unclear for hours whether or not she was even killed or not or if her execution slash suicide

had been put off. But it might well be the case that her life ended because her government

took her away from her family, refused to protect her from foreign criminals, then killed her

and harvested her organs. I told you that was going to be a really dark story. Didn't I tell you

that? I did. Don't let it come to a country near you. Don't let it come to a city near you.

This is coming here fast. Don't let that happen. Okay. Now, speaking of really weird stuff being

pushed by the media and the scientists and all these sorts of unethical people, this one a little

less gruesome, but pretty freaky. Oxford University is teaming up with the establishment media to try

to get you to do really creepy sex stuff. We will get to that momentarily first, though. I want to

tell you about Helix Sleep. Go to helixleep.com slash Knowles. Most people in this country are exhausted.

Like me, when I have to travel all across the country day after day after day, but one thing I really

look forward to is I can look forward to going back home to my beautiful home, filled to the brim

with Helix mattresses, not just for the adults. Helix in my home for my children.

That's right. I'm such a good father that I've gotten and obviously they're different mattresses

because when you get your Helix, you're not getting one size fits all mattress. You're taking

their sleep quiz. They will match you with a mattress that is perfect for your sleep style,

for your preferences. Keeps cool when you want to be cool. You can notice a big difference in

your deep sleep. I love them. I've had my Helix for what? Seven years now, something like that.

It's terrific. An award winning mattress brand you can get yours right now by going to helixsleep.com

slash nulls, 27% off site wide. Helixsleep.com slash nulls for 27% off site wide.

Make sure you enter my name and checkout so they know that we sent you helixsleep.com slash nulls.

Here we go. You know, because I'm on the road and I'm traveling all over and I'm not sleeping and

I'm moving on my limit and the printers don't work, I have to use my iPad for today's show.

Professor Jacob didn't get me my printer. It's fine. It's fine. We'll talk about it later.

But I kind of like having the iPad because I can just pull up the story. Here it is right here.

New study finds. This is a really tricky show to do today because I got to clean it up to be a

family show. There's kids that watch this show. So, okay, I'm going to clean it up with euphemisms.

New study finds that stored swimmers deteriorate across the animal kingdom.

So, let me tell you how the I think it's the guardian reporting this.

Where is it? Yeah, the guardian. More frequent

releases may boost men's fertility research suggests. Need for abstinence before fertility treatment

questioned as study finds swimmers deteriorate as it as they stay in the body. You see what

they're telling you to do. They're either telling you to get frisky with your wife more frequently

which is good advice if you're struggling with fertility or what they're saying is you should

take matters into your own hands. That's what the scientists as it were. The scientists and the

media are telling you to do a humiliating and touching left a gross gravely sinful and shameful

activity for health. They do this all the time. Don't they do this all the time? The darkest way

they do this is they say that abortion is women's health. If you want to take care of your health

as a woman, you should kill your kid because that's health. They tell you infertility processes.

They'll tell you well what you really should do if your kid has a genetic problem or down syndrome

or something. The treatment for that is to kill your kid. So they do all that but then it goes

further. They'll go out and say, hey, you know what you need to do? You need to

do this thing that Oxford and the media are telling you to do. Or do you remember when monkey

pox was spreading in New York? You remember that one? So monkey pox was spreading and Biden

hires some satanic like BDSM guy to run the monkey pox office of the White House. He may have

had some expertise but I would not be the guy I would pick to prevent monkey pox and then they

could have done one thing. They could have said like, hey guys, hey fellas, guys in you know

San Francisco, New York, cut it out. Hey, you know what you could do? Just cut it out or even

mostly cut it out and monkey pox would cease to exist in America. They could have done that in the

80s too. 80s and 90s with the AIDS epidemic. They could have said like, hey guys, knock it off

and probably it's all going to be fine. But no, they have to come up without no actually

take these drugs because it's really important for you to do this with transgenderism. It's

very important for your health to lock off your healthy sexual organs and to pretend to be the

opposite sex. It's really, but it's never a true. I've just, I've come to the conclusion, I've

lived long enough. If your grandma says one thing about health, whether it's about wearing socks

in the house, whether it's about not putting too much ice in the water, that's kind of an Italian

thing that don't use a lot of ice, whether it's about, I don't know whatever it is, whether it's

about not doing a certain activity that Oxford University wants you to because you go blind. Whatever,

if it comes down to grandma versus an elite scientist or a mainstream journalist, grandma is always

right. Grandma is 100% right and grandma doesn't want you doing that thing that Oxford wants you to do.

Have I made my point, Claire? On the trans issue, I am speaking at CPAC today. This is, I speak at

CPAC every year, but this is three years since I gave what was otherwise a fairly moderate speech.

I thought it was fairly well and I don't know, appropriately reasoned, but this line gets

clipped out of it where I said that for the good of society and especially for the good of the poor

people who fall in prey to this confusion, transgenderism must be eradicated from public life

entirely. The whole preposterous ideology at every level. I said that and then rolling stone

and then having a post and all these outlets accused me of genocide. It was really bizarre.

My whole argument was pretty simple. I said, either transgenderism is true or it's not. If it's

true and it's true for everybody, for kids, for babies, you can change your sex. If it's not true,

then it's not true for everybody because it's a claim about human nature and so if it's not true,

which obviously isn't, then we should get rid of it. It's just a crazy ideology. We should get

rid of it. This was so controversial. I was getting all sorts of threats and calamities and the

paper. Anyway, that was 2023, I guess. I had done a speaking tour before that. That was my first

campus speaking tour. Men or not women, other uncomfortable truths, but that was really the moment.

And then Matt had his global blockbuster movie a year later, a year and a half later,

whatever it was. What is a woman? Completely blew the lid off that issue.

Then the Republican politicians started passing laws and now the Olympics has just banned

trans athletes and this is being reported by the Associated Press, which is super duper lib.

You know they're not happy about it. But it was breaking. Breaking story, transgender women,

athletes, they still have to use the phrase, transgender women, which is guys. Guy athletes banned

from female Olympic events by the new rule. That's what they have to do. Transgender women athletes

are now excluded from women's events at the Olympics after the IOC agreed to a new eligibility

policy on Thursday, which aligns with US President Donald Trump's executive order on sports

ahead of the LA Olympic Games. Okay. Yeah. Long time coming. They're trying to blame it on

Trump. They're still trying to use these silly terms, the AP, one of the worst offenders. But

that's how it goes. The reason I mentioned this story is not to just go out to the glue factory

with a baseball band. Just beat the dead horse of transgenderism further until it until it I

personally turned it into Elber's glue. The reason that I mentioned it is actually the opposite.

Conservatives have been talking about this issue for a long time. Some were kind of squishy on it,

some were tougher from the beginning. Now everybody agrees. Now even the liberal politicians,

Gavin Newsom, if you catch him in a candid moment, he knows the whole thing's totally nuts,

and he obviously doesn't support it. That was a big flip and it was fast. It's fast, man.

That's a blink of an eye. I know it seems like the transgender wars were a thousand years ago.

It's fast. My CPAC speech that elicited death threats and claims of genocide. That was only three

years ago. That's movie came out even more recently. You know, it's been so fast. And then we won.

And that that should give you a little bit of a white pill. We actually can win stuff.

This is one of the problems Trump and the Republicans are going to have in November.

That he did fix a lot of stuff. He really did deport a lot of people. He really did fix crime in

a lot of cities. He was just in Memphis talking about that. He really did fix inflation.

And we'll see how inflation moves now with the straight-of-form moves closed. But he really did

fix inflation and the economy. The stock market really did hit record highs. He really did do all

that stuff. He really did wind down a number of wars. And then people forget.

You forget that three years ago, if you said I don't think that fellas can be chicks,

you were accused of genocide. That was fast, man. That's a win. I'll take that. Okay. But we

haven't won everything yet because my hometown hockey team, the Nashville predators have gone gay

and worse, they've done it three months before the Pride month. We'll get to that momentarily.

First, I want to tell you about Prager U. Go to PragerU.com slash DW. The legacy media hold

Americans like us in contempt. Coverage on any issue from immigration to crime accuses you,

not the criminals, of being the ones really at fault. But our friends at Prager U will not stand

for that kind of nonsense. They promote American values with content they like to call edutainment.

That means they teach what matters most in new and creative ways through videos and more.

If you ever thought of supporting Prager U, now really is the time to do it. Every dollar you give

right now is triple matched for maximum impact. Time is running out. That match opportunity ends

March 31st. Some of you may know I've worked with Prager U over the years, written a lot of their

five minute videos, been in a lot of their five minute videos, hosted the book club at Prager U

and continued to host it. So I love it. It's just a wonderful team. They do wonderful work,

and they do a really, really great job for our country. So right now, give which can head on over

to PragerU.com slash DW. Support this important work before it is too late, that is PragerU.com slash DW.

Very unfortunate. I go out of town for one night, and then Nashville hockey team goes gay.

Preds fans says Bridgestone Arena, put your paws up, Rainbow. We're celebrating pride in

Smashville. It's like Smashville has a kind of funny image that it evokes when you think about

like going to the bars and getting smashed and having some drinks. When they make it a weird sex

thing, it's grosser. It's much, anyway, sorry. Rainbow, we're celebrating pride in Smashville

tomorrow night, March 26th, with appearances by Medium Build, The Cow Gays, Brady Riley, and more.

Okay. I won't even get into the replies. It's March. First of all, this should never happen ever.

There should be no pride parades. There should be no pride celebrations. If people want to do

whatever stuff, it should be kind of out of public eye. We don't need the guys in leather,

whipping each other on the float, sun, mainstream. We don't need any of that. That should all be illegal.

And, frankly, our mores and standards should be such that we shouldn't even have to be illegal.

That should, you should be ostracized if you start bringing that stuff to Main Street.

The crazy costumes and the obscene behavior. And we don't need that. We don't need the cow gays

doing dances at the state. We don't need that. Okay. Hockey was, I thought Hockey was one of the

few remaining heterosexual sports. But even that's even beside the point. Because if you're

going to do it, aren't you supposed to do it in the month? June is supposed to be the month,

according to the Libs. On the Christian calendar, June is dedicated to the sacred heart of Jesus.

On the liberal liturgical calendar, it's dedicated to weird sex stuff. Okay. That's different religions.

I guess we don't have an establishment of religion. But that's June. It's March. And you know,

it's crazy. A lot of people don't know this. There's a second gay month in October. June is gay

pride month or LGBT pride month. October is LGBT history month. I guess to cover all the history

of the time since they set up the month, which was only what 10 years ago or something. So now

there's two. And I said, I said, and I hate to say I told you so on this point. I said, it's not

you think it's going to stop there? No. Started with pride day. There used to be a pride day.

And then when I was a teenager, as a New York liberal state, it was pride week. It became a week,

multiplied by seven. Sevenfold. Then pride month. Then pride. Two months. Sixth of a year. Now it's

now we are officially at pride quarter because March is gay now too. And you know what they're going

to do? They're going to try to gay up every single month and every single sport, including hockey.

They still want to do that. We won. We won on the transgenderism thing. We won support for same

sex marriage actually is decreasing. We won on some of the more traditional mores and social issues,

Trump won the popular vote and the Republicans won unified government. But they're waiting. They're

just waiting. They're waiting for you to despair or to get lazy or to give up or what they're

just waiting. They're salivating to get that power back. They're saying, they're saying, and by day,

I mean, the lips, the lips, they're saying Abigail Spanberger. She's the model in Virginia. We're

going to run his moderates. We know woke is out. We know we're the weird gay stuff. They don't

like it. I know, but we're going to, you know what we're going to do? We're going to run his

moderates. And then the minute we get power, we're going to implement the most radically left-wing

agenda. And the conservatives, they're all going to just be divided up among themselves.

They're going to be following a bunch of podcasters babbling and attacking each other over nothing

over nonsense. They're going to, yeah, that's what they're going to do. They're going to be fighting

Trump on issues that are broadly popular with the public. Ah, yes. And then, you know what?

We'll come in. And then every month will be gay. Every month and every sport will be gay.

Anyway, that's, don't say it and tell you so. Bookmark that, no, let's turn away from things

not worth celebrating toward things that are worth celebrating. The vice president in the most

recent White House cabinet meeting pointing out that there is something that we were supposed to

celebrate that's coming up. It's not whatever they did at Bridgestone Arena. It is holy week.

They're fighting at a time where we are about to enter as Christians, the most important

week of the Christian calendar, the Holy Week that celebrates the return of Jesus Christ to

Jerusalem. And so I want to say to all of my fellow American Christians, but particularly those

serving in the Gulf, that I wish you all very blessed Easter, a very blessed Holy Week,

and we continue to stand behind you and continue to support you every step of the way. Thank you, sir.

Thank you very much. So simple. So simple. Most people aren't going to notice that the lives

are going to be upset and they're going to wind about, I don't know, Christian nationalism or

something. The vice president mentioned that it was Easter. This is unacceptable. It's a threat

to the separation of church and state. It's an establishment of religion, but it's so simple.

And that's all you got to do. That's all I want. If we would just have our public officials,

especially our really top level officials, just come out and say, hey guys, you know,

we're entering into Holy Week. This is a really important time. We do this for the liberal

rhetorical calendar all year long. We anticipate, we go to the visual celebrations for the sacred

feast of Martin Luther King or Earth Day or whatever. This is Holy Week. This is the most

important time in the Christian calendar. We go over the top to pretend to know or care anything

about the Muslim holidays. That's Ramadan. Aid, Mubarak, Hussein Obama or whatever they say.

They go over the top to talk about it for this or that. Now, both political parties, you know,

are not exactly the most phylo-semitic. The Republicans are still generally pro-juice.

The Democrats totally hate the Jews. And then part, some small number of the right wing

doesn't like the Jews. But even there, they'd say, you know, hey, happy Passover, happy Hanukkah.

But for whatever reason, the religion that animated the country and actually our whole civilization,

that's the one you're not really allowed to talk about. And so I don't think we need to be over

the top. I don't want, you know, Doug Burgham walking into the cabinet meeting in a bunny suit.

Though it would be fun if it's Easter egg roll. Sometimes they have cabinet secretaries

where bunny suits. But I'm not saying that. You don't need to be over the top. You know, just,

actually, it's more powerful when you work religion into your daily life. When it's just a little

thing here there, it's just a little prayer before meals. It's just crossing yourself. It's just

maybe stopping in to receive sacrament confession or for a holy hour. It's just praying for a friend.

I have a buddy who whenever we hang up the phone or I say, oh, all right, man, God bless you.

Let me just say it. He's a white guy, but he kind of sent black ladies do this to him. I really

like when they do it. He's like, hey, how you doing? Should be like, I'm blessed. You have a

blessed day. I like that's great, actually. That kind of thing is great. That's what we need more of.

Doesn't have to be these over-the-top extravagant performances. Just people in our public life

bringing religion into it. Just bringing it in a little because that's the only way you're going

to revive religion as a culture. You have to see your leaders doing that. And you need to see

them doing it consistently. Okay. Speaking of that cabinet meeting, there's one clip I really

want to get to from it. Also, this is from the president. And Doug Bergam actually coincidentally,

where a Bergam is updating the president on Venezuela. And here's where the president's focus went.

I literally think they're going to put up a statute of president Trump. And I'm not

being, it's not a political statement. It's an actual thing. That would be a great honor.

No, because it's like they view president Trump like

that flows to American refineries on the Gulf Coast, lowering the price of gas in America.

So it's a- To get that, when are they going to do the statute?

Yeah.

Love him. I love even at the end there. He does that little boom. It's kind of like that

Nicholas Cage movie. He just calls on the next reporter. But Bergam, he comes out. He says,

you know, they're cooperating in Venezuela. We took away their leader. And then we went to

the vice president. We put a gun to her head and we said, hey, you're going to cooperate with

us or we're going to kill you. That's actually what they said. They said it wasn't literally what

they said, but that is what they said. They said, if the vice president, new leader of Venezuela

does not cooperate, it will be worse for her than it was for Maduro. Well, Maduro was arrested

and is now sitting in solitary confinement. The only thing worse is getting killed.

And guess what? She's cooperating. And so now they say, yeah, they might have a statute of

Mr. President. And then I just love it. He just nails it with after Bergam is updating on this

very important point that oil is flowing from Venezuela. It's going to American refineries.

This is correcting a long-standing wrong. It's good for Americans. It's good to bring down

the price of gasoline oil. And then Trump does the callback. He goes, yeah, yeah, yeah, that's great.

But what about the statute?

Bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum. It's just it's just delightful.

And there is a purpose to these things. As I've said, there is a purpose to these things.

I mentioned it at Memphis. It's the same reason that Antonin Scalia used words like applesauce

in his legal descents. It's to get eyes on it. Get people listening. The media just don't get

this. The lips just don't get this. Bergam says they're going to build a statute of

you Trump and Venezuela. That's a wacky, crazy thing. And then Bergam gives this really

important negative information. It's politically very advantageous to Trump and

undercuts to the Democrats and narratives. And then what happens? Trump does the callback.

He draws attention to that moment. It has to do it. He doesn't draw attention. I say,

wow, that's really great. Maybe the cost of oil will decrease by a few cents and risen. No,

you know, that's not going to get attention. He goes, yeah, yeah. Tell me more about that

statute though, huh? So then blasting, clip, Trump, narcissist, egotist. He's so obsessed

with himself. But guess what? Now we're all watching that clip about how we're getting Venezuela's oil.

Something that Trump has wanted to do for ages. He's wanted to know what he wanted us to know that

he is doing that for ages. It's part of what he's trying to do in Iran. It's certainly to get

the straight-of-war moves open. And now we can see he doesn't. I have so much more,

so much more to say. Big story. Netta, the Facebook parent company and YouTube,

have just been found libel in a social media addiction case. LA Jury found Zuckerberg

and YouTube libel in a social media addiction case. And they worded someone $3 million in damages.

This is a woman who says that as a child, she got hooked down social media on Instagram and on

YouTube. And this worse inter-mental health. It didn't give her a mental health problems,

but it worse inter-mental health. And the jurors deliberated for more than 40 hours across

nine days. And they said, yeah, the social media companies are libel. I celebrate this verdict

because these companies are too powerful and they've done sketchy things and they've harmed

conservatives and the American right and they need to be regulated. Even though I work with

these companies, but sometimes these companies have tried to destroy our business. And anyway,

it's a complicated relationship. I celebrate the verdict. That's great. I am a little skeptical of it.

I don't really, first of all, I don't really trust a random assortment of Los Angeles jurors.

And this will certainly be appealed. But I don't, the problem is that the tech companies

made their products too attractive. This is not something like a chemical dependency,

like cigarette companies not putting warning labels on or something. This is just like

the shows were too interesting or the colors were too nice. Anyway, I'm a little skeptical of

this verdict. Regardless, though, it brings us back to the top of the show. I am much more inclined

to live in a country that takes seriously the harms that are being done to its people

and the novel harms and the way that actually technology and social changes, whether we're talking

about social media or whether we're talking about a bunch of migrants flooding into a country,

the way that those things are harming people from the time that they're young to the rest of their

life, I much more would rather live in that country than in the country that ignores it,

that worsens the problems and that thinks that the best way to deal with it is actually just

maybe to kill that person and harvest them for organs. I'll take it. Look, I'll take it,

even if it comes from an LA court. Finally, finally, we're about to get to my favorite time

of the week. First, I want to tell you about PureTalk. Go to PureTalk.com slash Knowles,

Canada view, LES. I've been working with PureTalk for a long time and I wanted to work with a wireless

company that shares my values. PureTalk is veteran led, so helping veterans is extremely important

to them. They've donated over half a million dollars to America's warrior partnership,

which is a fantastic organization on the front lines of preventing veteran suicide. PureTalk's

creating American jobs with a U.S. only workforce. It would be a lot cheaper to send jobs overseas,

like other companies do, but they're committed to delivering the best experience possible for

their customers. That's the thing about it. It's the best customer service for sure. It's the

best price you're going to get. It's the best values alignment, certainly, and it's the best

service. That's the key. You are getting the same networks, the same towers, the same 5G coverage.

It's one of those big guys for a fraction of the price. I love them. It's great.

I haven't for years highly, highly recommend PureTalk.com slash Knowles,

Switched PureTalk today. PureTalk.com slash Knowles,

Switched to my wireless company and America's wireless company, PureTalk.

when I die, this is about the human body composting story. There's new, in Oklahoma,

they're debating whether or not to allow human bodies to be composted. This person says,

when I die, grow me into a pecan tree so y'all can eat my, I'm not going to finish the sentence.

You can use your imagination. Our mailbag is sponsored by Peer Talk at PeerTalk.com slash

Noel Skinner W. L. E. S. to switch to my wireless company today. First question.

I love that you spoke very quickly to fit all of that into one minute. That is great. You're

obviously a diligent responsible man so I appreciate that. That clearly comes out in all the way.

You cook, you clean, you work, you keep building the house and you respect the rules of the mailbag

which is under a minute. That's good. You're in a tough position and I sympathize with you because

I love tradition and I like old-timey stuff and I think it's very good if you can take care of aging

parents. I think it's nice. I don't like change. I don't like moving. I don't like new stuff. I like

old stuff and I like tradition and I like staying where I am. I like all those things.

But the key here is you said 80 years ago. 80 years ago it would be normal to have four

generations in a house so why don't women get that because that was 80 years ago and because we live

in the time that we live in. I'm as old-timey as they get but we live in the time that we live in.

You mentioned you have other siblings. When you talk about generational wealth or inheriting the

house, I don't know if you have to sort this out but do your siblings have a claim to the house?

You say this is your house? Will they not be entitled to some of the estate? Are you going to buy

them out of the house? It's unclear to me from just what you've described if you would even get the

house. Not to be morbid about it but it's a little unclear how old your mother is. If your mother

is 102 and you say I'm living with my mother and I'm not going to let her die in a hospital bed

so I'm taking care of her for right now and some ladies got to figure that out. That's one thing

but if your mother is 50 and she's going to live with you for 60 years or something. I don't know

but they might cure most forms of aging by the time you get there. Your mother will live to 200

but the very least I don't know. You can get on 75, 85. I think it's reasonable for a woman to say

why I don't want to live with my mother-in-law for 50 years and you say well but I like the idea

of multi-generational living. That's great but I'm not surprised that a woman would disagree.

Would you want to live with your mother-in-law? I don't think so. I'm not one for clean, neat,

pat ideological answers. I'm a prudent sky. I like making deals. I like making things work.

And these kinds of matters, not a moral matters but on practical matters, everything's a negotiation

but I think it would be good if you can figure out a way to maintain the house for your mother.

Maybe inherit it yourself or split it with your siblings or however that's going to work

but not let that impede you having a family. If you can't find a wife in your present situation,

you're going to have to figure out a new situation. One way that people live generationally

is by inviting their parents to move in with them when they become too old to live on their own.

It's not always just staying in the same house that that grandpa built.

Be good if you can keep it. I hate all change and I never want to move.

I am with you. But if the good of a family is more important than your desire for these artifacts

of your tradition. Okay, next question.

Hey Michael, I love the show. I had a question pertaining to alcohol. I've been with my

growth fund for almost five years and we're high school sweethearts. She's a big Christian,

but ever since she went to college, she has a drink or two whenever she'll hang out with friends

or as a school function which seems to be an everyday occurrence. I personally hate alcohol.

However, I don't only care if others drink. In this instance though, it feels like she has lost

the innocence she used to have and I don't want my kids growing up around alcohol because of my

experience of second hand family members and the role that it plays in their life. I need to

wisdom because I don't mind if she drinks when I'm there to monitor as a man but I don't want

alcohol being the reasoning behind bad decisions being made. Thanks for everything.

Well, that's the key, isn't it? It's a good question and I think a lot of men who have ever

had a high school girlfriend can sympathize with you, which is you say, hold on. Ever since she

went to college, things are different and so you're focusing on the alcohol, but it's not really

the alcohol, right? Because you say, what do you say? She has a drink or two. A drink or two is

not going to do very much. You say, well, I don't mind if she has a drink or two when I'm there,

but I don't want her making any bad decisions. I don't, you know, alcohol is a little bit of a

social lubricant. I don't want her socializing and then he fell us over there. So that's really

what the issue is about. It doesn't seem to me that there's any evidence of problem drinking,

right? Or who knows? Maybe that could develop and you could have a conversation with her,

but really, I think the issue is you don't like that she is at school in these situations where

you are not. And so you're trying to reduce any way in which things could get out of your control.

So you're trying to tighten that grip, but I don't think it's going to work. One, it's not,

it's not the argument you're making about alcohol isn't persuasive. She's not waking up and having

a glass of vodka and you know, being waking up, passed out in a gutter or something like that,

just having a drink over dinner or something. But two, the issue is deeper. That's what you have

to sort out. You can you can make it about alcohol or your family's experience with alcohol or

whatever, but that's only that's only papering over the issue. And I don't think you'll persuade her

anyway. I think you get to the real issue. I want to get to more, but Professor Jacob tells me

I can't. I got to go. I got to go to CPAC. Okay, well, if you're at CPAC, maybe I'll see you there.

It's in Texas this year. It's not in DC. That's kind of weird. But if you're down there, I'll catch

you there. Otherwise, I'm Michael Nulsis, the Michael Nulsia. There's no Membrum Sigmundtum today.

The Membrum Sigmundtum will be from the stage of CPAC and I will see you on Monday.
