Knowles At CPAC: ‘There Is No Meeting Halfway Between Truth And Falsehood’

The following speech has been adapted and was delivered by Michael Knowles at the Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC) in Maryland on March 4, 2023. This full length version includes a portion not heard on stage.

Thank you! It is an honor to be back at CPAC. Thank you to Matt and the rest of the team for the invitation. It is especially a pleasure to be here this year because I think I may be the only speaker who is not actively planning to run for president in 2024. Obviously, President Trump is running. I’m noticing a lot of other people on the docket seem to be at least interested: governors, senators, businessmen … Candace. A lot of people. But not me. (I am not old enough!) The political stakes this year for me personally are not very high, but the political stakes for our country have rarely been higher.
