Ep. 1293 - Your Yoga Pants Can Never Be Woke Enough

In 'Speechless: Controlling Words, Controlling Minds,' Michael Knowles delves into the history and effects of political correctness from the early twentieth century to the present. He exposes the power-hungry language architects behind this phenomenon and examines how it has dominated public discourse, affecting American culture, politics, and minds. The book critiques the twisting of words to mean their exact opposite and argues that this form of censorship has led to the suppression of traditional ideas and values. Knowles also provides a strategy for conservatives to counter this trend and reclaim the narrative on free speech and cultural issues.

In 'The Authoritarian Moment', Ben Shapiro argues that the true threat to American freedom comes not from the right but from the left, which has gained significant control over institutions like universities, corporations, and media. He explores how this shift has led to increased intolerance and rigidity in American ideology, and proposes solutions to counteract these trends.
