These weird childish tantrums. If they were so sure of their position on issues, they wouldn’t be afraid to let others speak. Truly bizarre that they can’t handle public discourse. It's OK to be different but it's NOT ok to force others into your agenda..

Political commentary

In 2016, Knowles was invited to join The Daily Wire, beginning as regular guest and cultural correspondent for The Andrew Klavan Show podcast.[7] Knowles previously worked with Andrew Klavan's son, Spencer Klavan, on theater productions while they were undergraduates at Yale.[8][9] In 2017, Knowles released an empty book called Reasons to Vote for Democrats: A Comprehensive Guide.[10] The book, which contained 266 empty pages and an extensive bibliography, became the number 1 best-selling book on Amazon.[11] Shortly after Knowles lauded President Donald Trump on Fox & Friends, Trump in return praised Knowles' book as "a great book for your reading enjoyment."[12][13] That year, Knowles began his role as host of The Daily Wire's third podcast, The Michael Knowles Show.

In April 2019, Knowles gave a speech at the University of Missouri–Kansas City entitled "Men Are Not Women"[14] on gender identity during his YAF national college speaking tour. Student protesters disrupted his talk, deeming it transphobic.[15] One protester assaulted him and sprayed him with an unknown mixture, later determined to be lavender oil and other non-toxic household liquids. The protester was charged with assault and other violations.[16][17][18]

In September 2019, Knowles called teenage climate activist Greta Thunberg "a mentally ill Swedish child" on the Fox News program The Story. Fellow segment guest and Democratic Party activist Christopher Hahn replied, "You're a grown man and you're attacking a child. Shame on you." Knowles responded, saying, "I'm not. I'm attacking the Left for exploiting a mentally ill child."[19] Hahn returned, "Relax skinny boy, I got this." Knowles promptly added, "She is mentally ill. She has autism. She has obsessive–compulsive disorder. She has selective mutism. She had depression." The network apologized for Knowles' statement by saying his comment "was disgraceful — we apologize to Greta Thunberg and to our viewers." Knowles did not apologize and Fox said they have "no plans" to have him on again in the future.[20][21]

In January 2020, while the impeachment proceedings of President Donald Trump were underway, Knowles and U.S. Senator Ted Cruz, launched a podcast titled Verdict with Ted Cruz.[22][23] On January 27, Cruz announced via Twitter that Verdict had secured the number one spot on the podcast charts for that week.[24][25] After the impeachment trial ended with President Trump's acquittal, Cruz and Knowles began to interview Washington politicians such as U.S. Senators John Barrasso, Mike Lee, and Tim Scott. Trump administration officials including then-U.S. Attorney General William Barr, Education Secretary Betsy DeVos, and White House Chief of Staff Mark Meadows. The two also interviewed actors Jon Voight and Isaiah Washington.

On January 20, 2020, the inaugural episode of The Book Club was published on PragerU's website (and the next day on its YouTube channel). The Book Club is a video series that features in each new episode a book review or discussion with a guest. Knowles has been serving as the host for the series.[26][27]

On November 13, 2020, Knowles was scheduled as the guest-host on the Rush Limbaugh show.[28] After this opportunity, The Daily Wire in collaboration with Westwood One announced that Knowles would be hosting his own daily radio show. The show started airing on January 4, 2021, and broadcasts daily at 5 p.m. ET.[29]
