Summary

We discuss speech codes, the roots of political correctness, cancel culture, postmodernism, the importance of reading and of pursuing a liberal education among many other topics. Michael hosts The Michael Knowles Show at the Daily Wire, and is the author of two books, the satirical empty book Reasons to Vote for Democrats and the recently released Speechless: Controlling Words, Controlling Minds. He is an alumnus of Yale University. _______________________________________ At roughly the 59:21 mark, I referred to PodTV with whom I had an exclusive deal at the time but that has now been terminated by mutual agreement. The Buck Sexton chat aired on PodTV's platform originally but will eventually be uploaded on my platforms (along with all other episodes that originally aired on PodTV). The current chat with Michael Knowles is not part of the episodes that originally aired on PodTV. _______________________________________ If you appreciate my work and would like to support it: https://subscribestar.com/the-saad-truth https://patreon.com/GadSaad https://paypal.me/GadSaad _______________________________________ This chat was posted earlier today (October 4, 2021) on my YouTube channel as THE SAAD TRUTH_1307: https://youtu.be/62ZtJ_uFwu0 _______________________________________ The Parasitic Mind: How Infectious Ideas Are Killing Common Sense was released on October 6, 2020.
