Michael Knowles Books

Actor turned political commentator, Michael Knowles really hit the Conservative spotlight in 2017 with an extraordinarily clever book (more on that shortly).

Just prior to that, in 2016, he made the move from acting to politics when he was invited to appear on The Andrew Klavan Show hosted on Ben Shapiro’s The Daily Wire site. Acting as a cultural correspondent, it was in 2017 that he published “Reasons to Vote for Democrats: A Comprehensive Guide.” The book was a real pager turner, mostly because there was nothing on the pages. Knowles had published 266 pages of nothing, a stark rebuke of all that the Democratic party stands for.

More than just a quick joke, the book rose to be the best selling book on Amazon. Driving sales even further, President Donald Trump referred to it as, “a great book for your reading enjoyment.”

As a result of all the publicity, Knowles went from a correspondent to hosting his own podcast on The Daily Wire.

Knowles has also recently teamed up with Dennis Prager of PragerU for a new book review series called The Book Club.

Speechless: Controlling Words, Controlling Minds

Language is more than just how we communicate ideas. It’s how we understand the world around us and even find truth.

In “Speechless: Controlling Words, Controlling Minds,” Michael Knowles takes aim at political correctness arguing that by controlling the words we use, this tactic limits our ability to engage in the public sphere.

Silence is not golden when it comes to political correctness.

He challenges the notion of polite compliance, stating that by giving way to political correct terms we not only admit defeat, but lose the ability to describe reality. And perhaps more alarming, that this was all done on purpose.

Political correctness has an origin and more than just a naturally occurring element of society, it is a dangerous tool used by Marxists to separate people from their culture in order to destroy the culture.

Getting more philosophical, he goes even deeper, highlighting the danger that because political correctness is constantly in flux, what is politically correct today isn’t tomorrow. In that sense its Marxist origins are obvious.

If George Orwell showed how speech and language can be used to control a population in a totalitarian dystopia, Knowles exposes the roots of that same control mechanism in our world today… and shows how our world and the Orwellian world of newspeak and doublethink may not be very different at all.

Critically, Knowles’ book does including a vital prescription to change it all, take back language and turn the tide in the culture war.
