political commentator from the daily wire michael knowles his podcast the michael
knowles show has amassed millions of followers and over one and a half billion
views making him one of the most prominent conservative pundits in media today
a former
actor known for his traditionalist christian perspective on american politics
knows has openly expressed his opposition to lgbtq rights specifically amongst
children now those of you who know what's in my heart on this issue know that
michael knowles and i couldn't disagree more i am a proud supporter of gays and
i don't want anyone to confuse me having someone like michael knowles on the
show for supporting his point of view in any way so that's why in true talk
show style i think it's a good idea
to lead us to lead us into this interview by me i made a list this is my top 10
gay guys from history
all right 10 caravaggio my goat painter obviously nine elton john he raised a
ton of money for aids in africa
and he wrote some of the most legendary songs with bernie taupin his uh songwriting
partner
eight
play-doh nuff said everyone knows
seven
tim cook
i mean i don't know if i'm alone in this but when steve jobs died i really
thought apple was cooked
but then they had someone
they had cook come
that
they come chef it
yeah
um six alan turing one of the smartest gay guys of all time his math
was uh won the war
uh for it uh i think what did he do
benedict cumberbatch i didn't see that movie did you see it
okay five oscar wilde i love the
his sayings he's brilliant uh his wit is brilliant and his style flamboyant
style was awesome
four george michael he was greek and gay double trouble three
tim dylan he's actually gay i don't know if you guys knew that
wait
he's gay
two
wentworth miller from uh the show prison break apparently he's gay
and i i love that show
one
this is my god
nathan lane
personal favorite of mine
his performance
have you seen the birdcage
al his performance as albert in the birdcage is perhaps
the funniest movie character i've ever seen
his range is really what impresses me
the thing is like he could play some of the most iconic straight characters too
he was a lot of you might not know he played timon
the lion king
these are some of our most talented artists
performers thinkers
these people are unparalleled in their fields
but to people like michael knolls
this is this is these are people that have problems and they suffer from some
sort of spiritual
affliction
so how can you have an honest and meaningful dialogue with someone like that
well you'll just have to see
so please enjoy my conversation with michael knolls
this is a picture
all right we ready michael
i'm ready
is it michael or mike or mikey
i don't i defer to you
i generally go for michael but i defer to you
well i generally go for michael
okay ladies and gentlemen prominent conservative pundit from the daily wire
michael knolls everybody
wow thank you
it's a full house thank you
yeah full house
yeah we uh collected these guys from uh times square a bunch of fat tourists
we were pressed for time you have to go to uh where
la guardia
la guardia
i do i have to
that's the destination
that delta lounge
i could stay there all day
actually the twa hotel is quite nice
that's right
yeah yeah yeah
that's where that's where you can uh
you can take a nap there actually
i've taken a nap there before
okay
yeah
let's go to you
uh you know our audience is like
they barely can read
so like we're gonna have to introduce you a little bit
and then i want to get into
kind of like uh
i've been watching a bunch of stuff you've done
and i think i think it's pretty interesting and i kind of want to discuss a
couple things
about yourself about where things are at currently
and then uh i don't know we can
i don't know i'll show you some tiktoks or something
great
okay uh okay
so you're from uh westchester
yes
correct
and then you went you went to yale
i did
but you were a child actor
i was yeah i did a little acting as a child and a little bit in my early 20s
was your mom taking you to the city for auditions
no she really discouraged it actually
your mom didn't want it
yeah she because child actors go crazy and they're exploited a lot
yeah
so i really wanted to be an actor as a kid
and i would do little things commercials or whatever
but she really put the kibosh on it
and uh but i would finally i convinced her to let me do a
acting conservatory type thing right around here actually
and uh so i did that a little bit
a little bit in college a little bit in new york afterward
and uh then my final gig
i got some like low budget movie in la and it wrapped photography on the day of
the 2016 election
uh-huh the election results were coming in and everyone really liked me on the
set i was very popular
and but then they were all getting really sad and i was not getting sad and
then they realized
my political views and they liked me less i concluded
oh man you should have seen brooklyn on uh that night
yeah were you at the the center
i would say this probably won't make the show i said at the other no i wasn't
at the javits
i wasn't getting things thrown at me by hillary uh no
i mean it is kind of such a comedy of errors that whole thing
it was amazing and frankly there were a lot of conservatives
a lot of the you know real establishment types
were were devastated they thought it could not happen
well reince was like trying to throw another body at trump
every week during those that primary
he was like ted just try this week
and he was like you're gay your wife i have dirt on your wife
they did you know reinstein ended up becoming chief of staff
yeah amazing how that didn't work out very well
i yeah well i it's it's yeah little marcos now the secretary of state yeah oh
yeah
it's funny when they were all humiliated publicly by this guy and then they
were like
phone banking depressed like yeah there's a picture of ted like phone banking
like during the general like this
well you know this is the thing i really like about trump and all those guys
they they were always accused of taking everything personally
they took nothing personally including trump
i think he hurt their feelings
he definitely hurt their feelings
he was a brutal he was an insult comic for the entire 16th primary
he was lisa lampanelle he was like honestly joe rivers became the president
she was it was like fashion police became the president
she's like kesha i love your outfit it would look better on a woman
yeah like that's that's basically yeah i i do say often like he does like
he does act a lot like
like the
the women in my family
a lot like no one respects me you wish i was dead
you'll be happy when i'm dead
you're very unfair
yeah oh yeah and he's the first jewish woman president
and you know why too it's because he's from queens
and i so like when outer borough new york yes when he would do he would do this
thing no one
understood he'd put things in quotes like i'm really good or whatever you know
he'd i'm i'm the
best president and he writes like my grandmother used to write in new york he
used the quotes to be
like boldface or something and random capitalizations but that is a new yorkers
of a certain error era rather would that's how they would write you know and
and so i don't know i felt very familiar with it there is a moment i kind of
felt like he was for real when he was like they were like how can we it was
like ted or ted i think it was like how can we vote for donald when he gave
money to hillary clinton and he's like i'm rich i give money i bribe everybody
yeah and it's just like but for the public's like the public knew that that was
true but no one uh no one had admitted it it was kind of like a mask off moment
where it's like this is a thing that we all know is true and i'm like oh damn i
think he's actually for real well he would that that was the the read of
authenticity is he would do a bit about running for president like he would
even joke he'd say all right i'm gonna be really presidential today today's my
day to be presidential and it it read is quite sincere i mean uh i don't know
he was renegotiating his contract with jeff zucker for apprentice
he didn't want to be the president he just realized that the rest of these
people are such losers that he could actually win it's kind of like me becoming
uh the most famous late night uh talk show you're the joe rogan of the left i
heard
i'm joe i read that i read that somewhere i'm the fucking uh mahatma gandhi of
generation alpha
i just don't the newspaper wrote three articles that yeah i don't even know how
to read my brother
i know but you're very famous now this is i'm not very famous i'm not like brad
pitt you're not brad you're
quite famous i'm incredibly famous extremely extremely so wait so you went to yale
yes from from uh from
from your uh you know from your childhood in westchester yeah you're yanks fan
yankees fan yeah yeah yeah how's it
feel right now i kind of uh it's kind of different now i stopped the religious
viewing of the games uh
halfway through the summer i took my kid though it was first ever uh yankee red
sox game over the summer
and that we lost again but i think it was the new stadium it was yeah listen i
love the old stadium
it the new stadium it was like it's a corporate headquarters yeah it's soulless
it's it's it's sort of
like the coliseum like i'm not totally opposed to it it's this symbol of
imperial power it's like it but i
agree it doesn't have that that same uh that same soul the fans aren't dic
