Ep. 2038 - EXPOSED: You Were Taxed MILLIONS For Trans Surgery On KIDS

**Michael Knowles** (0:00)
This episode is brought to you by Cardiff, America's favorite small business lender, with over 12 billion funded since 2004, applying under three minutes for same-day funding, up to $500,000 at cardiff.co.noles. The Trump administration has uncovered a massive nationwide fraud scheme by which hospitals bilked taxpayers for tens of millions of dollars, specifically to trans the kids. This is as perfect and comprehensive a health care scam as we have ever seen for the woke era. We will be joined by the Assistant Health Secretary whose office issued the report to discuss how to hold the bad guys to account. Then speaking of holding the bad guys to account, the DOJ arrests the CFO of the Southern Poverty Law Center in what I think is one of the most important acts of either Trump administration. Trump 1, Trump 2, this is what it's about. We will examine the importance of arresting our enemies. Finally, brace yourselves, AOC, for the first time, officially leads the pack of 2028 Democrat presidential candidates. You heard it here first and I'm sorry to say that. I'm Michael Knowles, this is The Michael Knowles Show.
Welcome back to the show. Speaking of fraud, there is a massive Chinese marriage fraud ring also that has been uncovered. And that is bad enough. Migration fraud is bad enough. People pretending to get married or money changing hands, in this case, hundreds of thousands of dollars, $100,000 per to get these fake marriages to allow Chinese nationals to come to the United States. But it is really compounded in our country because of the abuse of birthright citizenship. So a major, a glaring loophole in our system of national sovereignty. We'll get to all of it first though.
Our sponsor Kalshi currently has AOC at, now she's running neck and neck with Gavin Newsom. As of about an hour ago, she was running ahead of him. This is the first time that AOC is running officially at the top of the presidential race in the prediction markets. AOC at 22%, Newsom at 17%, Ossoff at 15%, Kamala at 7%, Buttigieg at 5%, Josh Shapiro at 5%. Now since this news broke, it's evened out a little bit. So AOC and Newsom both tied at 17%, Ossoff behind them, Kamala, Buttigieg, Josh Shapiro. When I say you heard it here first, I mean you heard on the show when I was interviewing the Vice President his prediction or his observation that AOC was leading the pack. And I was kind of shocked. I said, oh, I thought you'd say Newsom or Ossoff or one of these people. He said, no, no, she's clearing away the front runner. And now the numbers are beginning to reflect that. This after AOC very publicly films herself freezing her eggs, which might as well be a presidential announcement. She seems to have broken up with her fiance. So anyway, she's making very significant moves, which are signaling that she wants to run for president. And people are going to laugh it off.
I wouldn't laugh it off. Do you remember what everyone was laughing off in 2016?
They were laughing off the idea that Donald Trump would get the Republican nomination for president. He's crazy. He's too brash. He's too radical. He's no, there's no way that he could. And then he just kept leading the race. And then he got the nomination. And then do you remember what people laughed off? They laughed off that Donald Trump could beat Hillary Clinton. And then what happened? He won at least two presidential elections, maybe a third, and defined a decade of American politics. Do not laugh this off.
Do you know why AOC is leading the pack right now for the Democrats? Because she represents the Democrat Party better than any of the other candidates. That's why. Yeah, she's really good at the camera. Yeah, she looks better than some of the other candidates. She definitely looks better on a magazine cover than Josh Shapiro. But the real reason is that she better reflects the Democrat voters. The Democratic socialists are more popular than the Democrat members of Congress with rank and file mainstream Democrats. That's why Trump did it in 2016 Yes, he was a celebrity. Yes, he's charismatic. Yes, he's entertaining. Yes, yes, yes, yes. But the reason that he won is that he better represented Republican voters than any of the other candidates. Unsubstantive issues, on issues like trade, on issues like immigration, on issues like foreign policy. Trump was the lone serious candidate in 2016 who said, I oppose endless foreign wars in the Middle East.
And the voters rewarded him for that. Well, look at AOC. Gavin Newsom doesn't know what he believes. One day he's a radical leftist, the next day he's the moderate guy palling around with Steve Bannon and Charlie Kirk. He doesn't know what he is. He's nothing. Josh Shapiro, he wants to run as the moderate, sensible kind of a Rahm Emanuel, the same thing.
