Michael Knowles is the host of *The Michael Knowles Show* on The Daily Wire and *The Book Club* at PragerU. In 2017, he released the #1 national bestselling treatise *Reasons to Vote for Democrats*, which former President Donald Trump praised as “a great book for your reading enjoyment.” The work has since been translated into Hungarian and is available in bookstores across Hungary. In 2021, Knowles published his first book with actual text, *Speechless*, which also reached the #1 spot on national bestseller lists.
In early 2020, Knowles partnered with Senator Ted Cruz to launch the podcast *Verdict*, which quickly claimed the top position on podcast charts. Later that year, following a guest-hosting stint on *The Rush Limbaugh Program*, his daily podcast was syndicated to terrestrial radio. Also in 2020, Knowles was appointed a Lincoln Fellow at the Claremont Institute.
Beyond politics and media, Knowles is a co-founder and owner of Mayflower Cigars.
