This episode is brought to you by Slack. With Slack, you can bring all your people and

tools together in one place. It's your digital HQ where you can increase productivity,

like huddles for quick check-ins or Slack Connect, which helps you connect with partners

inside and outside of your company. Slack, where the future works. Get started at

Slack.com slash DHQ. I go away for one week, one week, and I come back to peto movies

on Hollywood's biggest platform and the town literally burning to the ground. Ash covering

my front steps. There is a lot to catch up on before the well-deserved fire and broom

stone takes us all out. I'm Michael Knowles. This is the Michael Knowles Show. Good to be

back, everybody. I had a great time in Utah. I missed you all very much. Also, I have to

come. I know it's been a little while. It's been a full week, but I have to get to my

favorite comment from the last show from David Winoker, political science. The only science

that ignores all the roles of science, like logical thought and analysis of cause and

effects. That is true. Political science does ignore all the roles of science. It also

ignores all the roles of politics. We'll get to that a little bit later. Also, I've got

to thank our friends over at Ring. You know Ring. You know why I love Ring. You can tell

look, I'm here away from my home. I'm back in Washington, D.C. We've got some fun stuff

planned over the next few days. When I'm away from home, I'm so glad that I can trust

Ring. It makes neighborhood safer. It makes your home safer. Let's you keep an eye

in your home from anywhere, whether you're at the office, whether you're in the bedroom,

whether you're all the way across the country in Washington, D.C. It's just wonderful. Sweet

little Alisa is a good shot, but I want to know that she is safe. I can do that with Ring.
