Summary

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.
