Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez’s decision to freeze her eggs is the clearest sign yet that the “Squad” congresswoman plans to run for president in 2028, conservative podcaster Michael Knowles argued on the latest episode of “Pod Force One.”
Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY), who has been meticulously documenting the entire process on her Instagram vlog, has said she’s undergoing the procedure to “feel more in control of my life” and “empowered” – but with the Democratic Socialists of America (DSA) takeover of the Democratic Party complete, according to Knowles, the videos read very differently.
“What is she putting it off for?” the host of “The Michael Knowles Show” on the Daily Wire said of the New York Democrat’s apparent decision to delay having children.
“It seems clear to me that that egg freezing video might as well have been a presidential campaign announcement,” Knowles continued. “She is being talked up to run for president. I interviewed the vice president not so long ago. He said she’s the leader of the pack in the party right now, and I think it’s all really sad that she puts her career ahead of this thing that she clearly also wants.”
Describing Ocasio-Cortez as “the voice of the millennial generation,” Knowles argued that the congresswoman’s decision to freeze her eggs is both “sad” and relatable to Americans in her cohort.
“She puts the adulation and applause of others over a family life that she also clearly seems to want, and really, there’s nothing uncommon about that for her,” he said. “I think that’s what a ton of millennials do, and that’s really sad.
“So, the really sad conclusion is, stunts like that make it much more likely that AOC will be elected president, and it also means that she’ll probably be very unhappy.”
In the backdrop of the DSA darling’s egg-freezing journey is the fight for the soul of the Democratic Party, which Knowles asserts has already been won by the socialists.

“This fight that you’re supposedly having within the Democratic Party. It’s already done,” Knowles argued. “It’s a fait accompli that the socialists took over the Democrat Party.

“It’s AOC’s party now, and Chuck Schumer and Nancy Pelosi are just living in it.”
Knowles, who also hosts “The Book Club” at PragerU, noted that Democrats and the DSA “basically agree on everything.”
“There is some slight disagreement over how much they hate the state of Israel. There is some disagreement on whether or not we should abolish all the prisons or just let most of the criminals out of prison, but they basically all support abortion on demand, transing the kids, amnesty for illegal aliens, raising taxes, taking people’s property away, on down the line,” he said.
“I don’t really see any difference.”
