Tax Relief Advocates, real solutions for real people. This episode is brought to you by Cardiff, America's favorite small business lender with over 12 billion funds since 2004, applying under 3 minutes for same-day funding up to $500,000 at cardiff.co.noles. Almost 3 million foreigners have left the United States since the start of President Trump's second term, with 2.3 million of those people being illegal aliens, that according to the latest and most reliable numbers we've gotten so far from the Census Bureau. This means that America has officially had net negative migration for the first time in about 90 years. This also means that conservatives have something to be happy about, which is a strange feeling, and I'm sure that we'll find some way to be angry about it, but this is pretty good stuff. Then leftists on social media celebrate the one-year anniversary of the murder of Charlie Kirk, and New York City Mayor Zeron Mamdani gives a 9-11 commemorative pen to a lawyer for a member of Al-Qaeda. I'm Michael Knowles, this is The Michael Knowles Show.
Welcome back to the show. James Tallarico is doubling down on his Islamophilia. You remember he said he learned as much about his faith from Islam as he had from Christianity. That was a weird one that made some eyebrows go up. Well, he's doubling down. He's going Muslim. Tallarico is going Muslim. Milo Yiannopoulos, fresh off the deportation, is going Muslim. Everybody's going Muslim. We'll get to that. I want to get to the Milo story if we have time. First, though, speaking of faith, I want to tell you about Hallow. Go to hallow.com/knowles, K-N-W-L-E-S. How do you pray? Not do you pray. How do you pray? What does your prayer life look like? Even for people who have prayed their entire lives, it's a question you should consider time and time and time again. For someone who wants to pray but does not really know where to begin, it can be surprisingly intimidating. That is the idea behind Hallow's new 21 Days of Prayer Challenge. Every day, you'll hear from someone different. Coach Prime, Gwen Stefani, Gary Sinise, Coach Dan Hurtley, Fernando Mendoza, priests, pastors, moms, nurses, police officers, all answering basically the same question. Who are you and how do you pray? This is not 21 days of abstract discussion about prayer. You're actually praying. Maybe you discover something you begin saying every morning. Maybe it's a prayer you remember when life gets difficult. Or maybe you simply practice something modern life has made surprisingly difficult. Being still. We have endless things competing for our attention. Prayer requires us to give some of that attention back to God. So whether you've prayed your entire life or you're not quite sure where to begin, give God 21 days and see what happens. Download Hallow for three months and join the 21 Days of Prayer Challenge at hallow.com I'm Michael Knowles, candidate of ULAS, that is hallow.com.
Before we get into all the bad stuff, and conservatives are all fighting over this new policy from the Trump administration that would-
But take a pre-existing welfare program and stop it from only incentivizing single motherhood, and conservatives are fighting about it, because we're always fighting about everything. Before we get into all the kind of negative stories, this is good stuff, guys. We gotta enjoy the wins. We got to enjoy the wins when we get them. And we conservatives, we don't want to do it because we want to be doer and upset all the time. But this is big stuff. From the Census Bureau, the foreign born percentage of the population over the last 18 months is down 2.9 million people. So this is all foreign born. Not just illegal aliens, not just people on green cards who are residents, but including even citizens, people who were born in another country and became citizens. And this will be a little controversial in some portions of the right because there are some people, especially in the more chamber of commerce business right, the more fiscally conservative but socially liberal right, they like the idea of open borders as long as you do it legally. They have no problem with flooding the country with foreigners just so long as everyone fills out the right paperwork. But people who are a little more traditionally conservative, people who are a little more concerned with social solidarity, those of us on that side of the issue, we recognize the problem of mass migration is not just the people don't fill out the right documents, the problem of mass migration is that it creates all sorts of problems for social solidarity, for questions of sovereignty. Do we, the people still have the right to determine who and how many people come into the country? You know, we have taken since the 1960s, something like 70 million people into this country, maybe more. It is the largest movement of human beings in recorded history. And a lot of Americans, left, right, and center, object to that. So, we've got a reduction in all of that. Now, I want to make very clear here.
