Michael Knowles Teases Cameo In The Babylon Bee’s Mockumentary

The Daily Wire’s Michael Knowles is featured in one of the most important documentaries of the century. 

The Babylon Bee is flexing its comedic chops with “January 6: The Most Deadliest Day,” a raw look at one of the most infamous days in history. No red-blooded American will be able to look away.

The internet’s most trusted source for satire released the “mockumentary” on Friday. It’s focused on that day in January when, as the press release says, “democracy almost got killed in the face.” 

“Featuring a unique blend of comedy and 100% true facts, ‘January 6: The Most Deadliest Day’ will shine a light on what really happened that fateful day.” It features guest appearances from Dennis Prager, Eric Metaxas, Knowles, “and some random guy from the Claremont Institute.”

The film team also claims to have “confront[ed] the most dangerous criminals imaginable,” including “the guy who moved Nancy Pelosi’s lectern a terrifying 20 feet” and “that guy who wore buffalo horns.”

Knowles shared a sneak preview clip from the new film. 

We all know that January 6, 2021, was the worst day in the history of this—or any—republic.

Now, @TheBabylonBee brings you the definitive account of "January 6: The Most Deadliest Day."

“It’s really neat that the Constitution specifically allows you to imprison your political opponents. Do you think that that’s neat too?” the film’s director and Babylon Bee Editor-in-Chief Kyle Mann asked Knowles during an interview. 

The podcast host replied, “I don’t mean this in any sort of derogatory fashion, I mean this in a purely clinical way. I just have to know – are you retarded?”

Knowles is no stranger to debating people who have no concept of what actually happened on January 6. A recent exchange Knowles had with a college student went viral on X for good reason. 

The student laid out his argument, incensed that there was any disagreement during the certification process. 

“So you’re saying there was a controversy over who had really won the electors in a state and there were two sides who were disagreeing over that, and so they were trying to work out – during the certification process – on January 6, the worst day in history of the republic – what to do about it,” Knowles said.

“So my question to you is, is there any historical precedent for that? For what you call, the ‘fake elector scheme?’”

The student gives one example in an individual state, but Knowles responds, “You’re missing the actual historical precedent,” going on to explain the Compromise of 1877. He also brought up contested elections in more recent history, including the 2000 presidential election when Democrats denied that George W. Bush had won. 

Knowles laid out the reasons for Republicans contesting the 2020 election, including widespread mail-in ballots following a national lockdown and slowing down the counting of the votes by days or even weeks, which brought up legitimate questions about election integrity. 

“If you deny that half the country has the right to maybe work out that controversy, then  I suppose you think we ought to just give the Democrats all of the elections,” Knowles said, going on to say the student was “not exactly sure about a lot of things” when he admitted to not understanding the qualifications for becoming an elector.
