Michael J. Knowles
Michael J. Knowles is the Yale-bred host of two-thirds of The Daily Wire platform begun by Ben Shapiro. He “wrote” a clever “book” titled Reasons To Vote Democrat: A Comprehensive Guide
Media That’s Catholic But Not Catholic Media
. (Everyone reading this can list a dozen faux Catholics in media.) His show is much more politically geared than mine, but his infectious enthusiasm for slaying liberal arguments and his no-apologies support for President Trump couched in millennial-speak, and his frequent references to his unabashed Catholicism, make him very watchable as a host.
In this interview, you will learn:
- How Knowles got the Daily Wire gig, and what his mission is
- How he uses his Stella Adler Studio acting skills to communicate
- His unsuccessful attempts at baptising Ben Shapiro in the office hallway
- How his faith informs his political conservatism
- The paradoxical similarities between President Trump and Pope Francis
- Why the digital media provides a strong counterweight to the hugely biased MSM
- My thoughts on marriage as he prepares to take the matrimonial plunge
