Daily Wire podcast host Michael Knowles slammed former MSNBC host Joy Reid in a surprise appearance on &#8220;Piers Morgan Uncensored.&#8221;
Morgan was interviewing Reid when he asked her to respond to a clip from &#8220;The Michael Knowles Show&#8221; that aired shortly after &#8220;The ReidOut&#8221; was canceled.
Knowles said at the time:
<blockquote>Joy Reid — probably the nastiest figure on MSNBC, the most Left, the most vicious against conservatives and white people and men and all the rest — she has just been canned, fired, kicked to the side of the road, her show is over. This saddens me a little bit, because I did not yet have the opportunity to go on it.
I am celebrating that there is no longer a market for her disgusting product. That’s what I’m genuinely happy about. There has been a major shift. Her show, and shows like her show, no longer have value. And that’s not just because of Joy Reid’s favorite villains: the evil white man or the Christians or the conservatives. It’s because no one watches her show.</blockquote>
&#8220;So, Joy, I’ve actually got Michael Knowles waiting in the wings,&#8221; Morgan said after the clip aired. &#8220;What did you make of his critique of your show?&#8221;
&#8220;Well, I mean, the reality is that obviously people watched the show,&#8221; Reid said. &#8220;That’s the reason that the show was on for four and a half, nearly five years. So if he didn’t like the show, I guess, sorry you didn’t enjoy it, but I really am not that interested in his views on it.&#8221;
Knowles fired right back.
&#8220;I guess I would agree with Joy’s take. People watched the show, in the past tense,&#8221; Knowles said. &#8220;And now there’s no longer a market for that absolutely vile content, and I think that’s good for the culture broadly.&#8221;

Reid accused Knowles and Morgan of &#8220;[trading] in grievance.&#8221;
&#8220;White grievance is very good for your bottom lines,&#8221; Reid said. &#8220;So having me here to be able to continue to traffic in that, that is your shtick.&#8221;
Knowles said Reid&#8217;s accusation was pure projection.
&#8220;When she&#8217;s talking about this anger, this grievance — I think, frankly, Piers, you and I are two of the least aggrieved people in the entire media,&#8221; Knowles said. &#8220;Generally pretty chipper, cheery people.&#8221;
Knowles added that while the Left pushed grievance politics, President Donald Trump decided success would be the best form of revenge.
&#8220;He did bring on a lot of people, many more than just white people, to his coalition: 46% of Hispanics, one in five Black men, 40% of women under 30,&#8221; Knowles said. &#8220;So, he built a very large coalition here.&#8221;
That coalition, Knowles said, is concerning liberals such as former President Barack Obama, who pushed grievance politics.
&#8220;Obama was one of the big promoters of proto-wokeness,&#8221; Knowles said. &#8220;It spun out of control, so now you&#8217;re seeing this run away with them.&#8221;
Knowles said the Left is now trying to backtrack on grievance politics.
&#8220;The Democrats got creamed in the 2024 elections. And [Obama&#8217;s] saying, &#8216;Whoa, whoa, guys, bring it back. Don’t seem so aggrieved,'&#8221; Knowles said. &#8220;I just think it’s a little bit too late. He’s being hoisted with his own petard.&#8221;
