Please don't put Knowles in the same sentence as the great Thomas Sowell

@bradyhayes7911 I haven't read his book, but his show doesn't quite do it for me. Knowles is not a real conservative - at times he's just a mindless Trump-bot. It is kind of odd to see him extolling Sowell here, when there are areas in which Knowles does not understand or appreciate Sowell's wisdom.

@bradyhayes7911 See, it bothers me when people say that Trump is more conservative than are anti-Trump Republicans. Trump is not a real conservative - he's a faux-populist. Trump's isolationism and protectionism - both of which Knowles wholeheartedly endorses - are classic leftist positions. Yet Knowles derides those who disagree with him as "squishes" - as if Sowell were a "squish"?! Furthermore, Knowles is a big believer in the morality part of conservatism, conveniently overlooking Trump's massive failures on that front. Sorry, didn't mean to rant. I think I'll step off my soapbox 😊
