The Daily Signal - Michael Knowles Explains How the Left Manipulates Language

In politics, language is central -- the words we use, what they mean, and what we want them to mean. As our guest today, The Daily Wire's Michael Knowles, explains, the left is a master of language manipulation. Liberals often win political victories by redefining words and rewiring our brains.

"The lie of the left that they're pushing is that the truth is somehow cruel and harmful and that delusion will make us happy and free," says Knowles. "That has never been true anywhere in history. "

The Daily Signal - Best of 2019: Founder of Black Guns Matter Speaks Out

Maj Toure, founder of Black Guns Matter, comes from inner-city Philadelphia, where he teaches black youth about their Second Amendment rights. "Gun control is about people control," he says, adding that, "It’s not about safety. ... It’s about taking large percentages of American populations—urban centers; urban metropolises; New York City, 8.5, sometimes 9 million people—and telling them they do not have the right as stated in the Second Amendment to defend their lives. Our organization is there to push that back and the education and the understanding is how we do it."
