I just love how Michael is always smiling and laughing.

Brilliant speech as always! It’s hard to watch Mr Knowles and not be proud to be an American! Grateful to be from a country that produces such brilliance and overall excellence.

Cornell didn’t advertise it anywhere. I heard about it on his podcast last Thursday, too late to get tickets.

The young man that gave the intro seems like a nice kid/young man. Good for him, for standing up for his beliefs. It isn't easy when you're on a college campus (and don't align with the majority).

If only he'd get a haircut...

Per usual, Micheal delivers the message with class, and truth with wittiness!

When the young student fielding the question and answer session refers to another student as his “Comrade“, I said to my phone “hey now, if you don’t wanna be associated with communists, let’s not use words like Comrade” And then, right as I finish saying that, Michael said the same thing! 😂😂😂💀

The girl who asked about the will of the people and whether it should influence positions on gay marriage or transgender health care seems to have missed something, which Michael also didn't address. Neither of those do or can exist, regardless of anyone's will. Marriage cannot be between people of the same sex. There's no such thing as transgender. No will of the people or even law can change reality.

I am politically to the right of almost all my friends and family.

All this to say, I think knowles sets a great example of how best to be open about what you think, in such a way where you won't give anyone an excuse to accuse you of toxicity. It's behavior many of us can learn from.

Michael has such a jncreadible way of speaking to people to where he can completely Mediate a heated person who is yelling and screaming and having a fit into someone who will actually have a conversation with him

I wish more people could listen and receive the answer he gave at the end. The acknowledgement of one's feelings, compassion while clarifying and reiterating the point of his words. Even if you don't agree it is a great way to encourage honest and decent conversation. Profound!

I really wanted to go with a "Sweet Baby Gang for life" sign. Thank you for coming to NY and speaking truth in a town that's abandoned it.

Great talk and I always am surprised at how well you take questions! Love this!

That was a brilliant talk Michael and a pleasure to listen too, its good to see the students being respectful and well behaved. we all need universities to get back to being honourable, respectful, intelligent, logical, reasonable, discerning, willing to converse and willing to change their minds when presented with facts and logic. the ideological emotionally driven mobs have ran rampant for too long turning universities and supposedly higher education into something akin to a bunch of monkeys in the jungle and to be fair it is becoming glaringly obvious now to most people with one eye open.

Mad respect to Michael and all the students who participated in the Q&A, even the students who differed politically with him. This is how political discussions should be, respectful, insightful, and hopefully giving everyone something to consider.

opening speaker sure combed his hair back with his hand fourteen hundred times! lol

30:20 - Q&A begins

Michael Knowles, Ben Shapiro Matt Walsh, Charlie Kirk, Charlie Veitch, Candace Owens and then in my Country, we have Piers Morgan, Douglas Murray and Lawrence Fox are the rights' only hope at the moment.......... there's only a few of them but they lead the way in my opinion. 🇬🇧🇺🇲✌️

Calm, intelligent, polite and an abundance of information.

Beautiful Catholic. I loved your extreme knowledge and honesty.

Michael's speeches are always too short.

Conservatism also stands against injustice and evil, as we did against King George, in the Civil War, and WWIi. But we also did so in Afghanistan and Iraq, no one can truthfully deny the evil inflicted upon Afghan women or the evil of Saddam and his sons who inflicted upon their own people as a party weekend the atrocities just seen in Israel. Conversation does not equate to inaction for the sake of the status quo when faced with an evil. The overall direction of those wars may be objectional but no Conservative should lament the fact that we chose to confront evil.

The mental gymnastics required to be a leftist makes Simone Biles look like Stephen Hawking.

Had a Cornell prof who became a communist in college. He was pre-med then switched to philosophy.

Enjoyed this talk immensely and so much so that I watched it a second time. His early remarks about current University. curriculum reflects the view I see to have happened to my Alma mater. Our culture has change so much over the past 50+ years that it is no longer recognizable. The growth of "wokeness" and establishment of a multitude of divisive groups is leading us to a collapse of civilization. All this should be be very obvious to anyone who compares their lives under the Trump administration to what they experience today under this administration. All they have to look at are the economy, the cost of daily living, the employment rates, and the absents of war threats just to name a few.. Michael's answers to audience questions at the end of his talk are perfect. Every response is so non-confrontational and logical when considered in light of our Judaeo-Christian values. I look forward to watching as many of his talks as possible.

Wise man Knowles speaking truth and facts fight hard

I am Canadian so I have nothing to lose by it but IMO the American military, for the first time in over 20 years, has had 2 years to rest, train, and regather. They should send in a couple groups of SEALS to rescue hostages and help Israel in missions to clear tunnels.

That last 3 minutes of Knowles's speech really got me! Im a Trump supporter and now hate Biden even more!!! I didn't hear about that stuff.

My daughter's university lowered standards and gave scholarships to black kids. Over 90% failed out. Most didn't show up for her class or her voluntary study groups, then they complained when they failed the test. Standards exist for a reason... The real world doesn't operate on trophies for everyone.

Unfortunately here in Great Britain, there isn't really many conservative voices, it makes it very difficult to voice your not far left opinions here as, for some strange reason, the law is on the side of our political adversaries............ we definitely DO NOT have free speech. 🇬🇧🇺🇲🇺🇦🇮🇱✌️

Is Knowles speaking in Ohio this year?

36:42 hahahahaha 🤣

Kid in the beginning got me triggered when he kept fixing his hair.

SCOTUS did NOT impose homosexual unions on us, what they said was what is licensed in one state (civil unions) must be recognized in other states (say TN) not licensed in the other states but their licensed civil union they bought in NY had to give these couples marital rights in the other states. The states Attorneys General all unanimously decided they were going to sell the licenses and think we were all too stupid to know what that string of words means. TN and KY immediately ordered clerks to sell marriage licenses without regard to the law, “because Supreme Court said they have the right in every state” but they don’t have the right to buy a license, and the states still could’ve called the licenses civil unions and used less inappropriate language as it was never called marriage officially anywhere until they all said that we have to let 2 lesbians who have the civil union license who move to our state have the same legal rights and privileges as married people so the right to make end of life decisions for example without another legal and easy to get piece of paper called Power of Attorney, and they can fight in court over shared property like the house they played house in but only one of them paid for.

Don't want to pit any of these people against each other. If we're all conservatives then we're all on the same side, and we should be encouraging each other. However I can't help but notice that among the DW hosts, Walsh's show has grown to a point of far surpassing Knowles, this despite the fact that his show has had less time to grow. In this commenter's humble opinion Walsh has a style that gets you further in life if you're trying to be a podcast host. Knowles however has a style that gets you further along if you're involved in most other places. He isn't determined to get along to a point where he betrays anything that he believes, but he still does all that he can to stop his opponents from becoming his enemies (even if his opponents don't do their part)

@CyrusStratton

That’s a good assessment. It should also be noted that Walsh is very clearly less agreeable than Knowles (not to say Knowles is willing to concede a point for no reason), and does not have the same desire for empathy, though empathy at a certain point is overidolized. I do like Knowles more because he incorporates his theological beliefs into all his arguments, which seems to me to be a more logical position as a Christian (Catholic in this case).

@@CyrusStrattonIf you're good enough at sports to play professionally then it is a very rewarding career indeed, but if you're not one of the rare few who's gifted enough to make it a career then by the time you're out of high school being good at sports doesn't get you anywhere. I liken this to the style of people like Walsh, as well as candace Owens, or Jordan Peterson, or really anyone who's better at "destroying" people than Knowles. It works great if you are able to make a career just publicly sharing your thoughts on things. If, like the vast majority of the world you can't make a career out of it I think the Knowles approach sets a better example. I'm not concerned about the fact that some Daily Wire hosts get better numbers. It doesn't have to be a competition. One thing I do worry about though, is that some might see how much more Walsh has grown, and learn the wrong lesson from that. Works GREAT for Walsh, and I'm happy we have Walsh. Doesn't necessarily mean it'll work great for YOU
