 It's Michael Knowles, host of The Michael Knowles Show. Conservative pessimists say the world can't get any worse. Conservative optimists say it certainly can. We take a hard look at the tough political realities we face. We take seriously the great debates of our time. And we find the glimmers of light, small though they may be, that keep us encouraged for the future. Join me for The Michael Knowles Show right here. I'll see you then. The Michael Knowles Show every weekday afternoon at 3 right here on KQ&A.
