Our special guest Michael Knowles has been called "a national treasure," he’s also been called a "dapper, lib triggering troll" by Vanity Fair. You may wonder if he appreciates both descriptions.

Michael Knowles is also a published author. His new book Speechless: Controlling Words, Controlling Minds is a complete examination of politically correct speech and censorship.
