Dear friend ,
As far as I can recall, I haven’t given a speech since, perhaps, 2013. One reason for this is that I’m not an awesome orator. On the other hand, it’s also a reflection of how much more censorious America became during the Great Awakening due to political violence and cancel culture.
I’ve been invited over the years to give a number of speeches over the years since then, but the contracts always get canceled by the hotel due to the SPLC siccing Antifa on me.
(Heck, I used to be on broadcast network TV. I can recall NBC Nightly News editing my footage to make it look like I was debating George Clooney. I forget what we were supposed to be arguing about. But let me tell you, whatever it was, he kicked my ass through his sheer Clooneyosity. That guy’s awesome!)

Granted, they won’t reveal exactly when I’m going to speak so that thugs in black leather don’t show up to smash it up. But just email [email protected] and she’ll tell you the exact date if she likes the look of you.
