Knowles shows how Marxists like Gramsci and Marcuse created the woke cultural revolution with the aim of destroying the Western political and moral order.

Pete Hegseth, bestselling author and Fox News host

The answer is always more speech, not less. I believe that wholeheartedly, and for those of us on the left side of the political spectrum, Speechless is an important look at how the other side is thinkingor could come to think if Michael has his way. Though he and I disagree on much, including his take on the Lefts use of vague language, Black Lives Matter, and critical race theory, Michaels book is incisive, meticulously researched, and in-depth. I appreciate that he takes on those who share his own political ideology as well. If anything, Speechless will give you fodder for discussion with those you agree with and those you dont. And is there anything better than a good argument?
