Starting point is 00:00:02 I can tell you, it is about time this woman get put away for something. Are you with me? I mean, my gosh, enough is enough is enough is enough. Welcome to the program, everyone. I am Trisha again, coming to you live from Spain just off the coast of Morocco. I was in Morocco earlier today. More on that later, but first, Ilhan Omar, I mean, enough is enough is enough for goodness sakes. Tom Amor, the representative, the conservative representative, also from her state of Minnesota, coming out swinging. So Tom Emmer has already said he'd like to see her deported. Tom Emmer has said, we've got to make sure that we kick her out of Congress. I mean, he joins, say, Representative Fine out of Florida and Brennan Gill out of Texas. Everybody's like, enough is enough is enough with this woman, but where are we? For goodness sakes, right? I mean, what's Comer doing? Isn't there an investigation? Supposedly going on? What about Treasury Secretary Besson? Hate to put it all on him, but he's got the IRS, right? The IRS should be all over this one. Tom Emmer, Representative Emmer, going on Newsmax with my friend of a Rob Finnerty and just laying it out, like, we got to do
Starting point is 00:01:08 something. The investigation is still happening. Listen, the investigation is ongoing. I hope they continue to dig into all the potential ethics and legal violations. Yeah. And if it turns out that Ilhan Omar was in any way complicit with defeating our future pandemic scandal, the $250 million largest pandemic fraud case in the country. If she is somehow complicit with any fraud that's going on in the state, and there's plenty of Somali daycare fraud, you name it, they've done it. She should be prosecuted, not just dealt with she should be out of Congress, she should be prosecuted to the full extent. And I would also suggest, Rob, that her husband should be subpoenaed and brought in and asked, how did you go from being essentially bankrupt to now having a net worth of some
Starting point is 00:01:59 $30 million? Yeah. Something doesn't smell right. Clearly, the investigation is not over, and it should not be over until we get full transparency. Yeah, exactly. And we don't have any transparency. Think about that right now, guys.
Starting point is 00:02:16 I mean, there's nothing. We don't really know a whole lot. I mean, there's a few things, bits and pieces here and there. They did get the second in command of the feeding are a few. scam. That whole fraud ring. Remember, they got Amy Bach and then the second guy. Well, he was hanging out in Somalia. What do you know? Apparently the Somalian authorities cooperated with U.S. Intel to bring him back. And the hope is now that his emails, which are believed to have gone to her office, and she wouldn't release those. Remember, they kept asking and asking and asking? And she said,
Starting point is 00:02:44 no, no, no, no, no. Well, now they have the emails so that hopefully will advance this case a little bit more. But again, these financial records ought to be able to tell us something. And so we're still sitting here twiddling our thumbs when we all know, I mean, we all know, we all suspect exactly what went down. Just asked James Comer, who was speaking with the New York Post and their podcast here. I do think Ily and Omar is in a lot of trouble. She's got that big question mark on how her network jumped up to, you know, at least six million and then went back down to zero over a one-year period. So are you saying that Ilhan Omar, the congresswoman from Minnesota, that she was getting federal money and feeding it into these corrupt Somali networks, her cronies?
Starting point is 00:03:33 I think one of the projects she requested was a proved to be a fraudulent Somali scheme. Yeah. Okay, so that was the feeding our future. That was hers. That was her baby. I mean, She and Timmy's baby, maybe. You know, in lieu of babies, they had feeding our future because they announced that one. Actually, she came forward with that proposal announcing that on the day they got married. So, as I've said, you know, it must have been one expensive wedding. But I'll tell you, the hubby, he sounds pretty suss to me, this whole what? Venture capital business he had.
Starting point is 00:04:08 Oh, forgive me, private equity business was it? I mean, it just doesn't add up. And I don't know what kind of accountant would ever sign off on what was signed off on. it's almost like they wanted to have these inflated valuations on his business. Why? Because as my good friend Steve Forbes pointed out on this show with me, you heard him, a couple months ago, or on Fox business with my friend Elizabeth McDonald. I mean, he said it. This sounds like a money laundering up. All right? You know, you don't have to be a rocket scientist to figure this out, but you don't go from 30 million to nothing overnight. Not to mention. I mean, what was you,
Starting point is 00:04:45 negative 60,000 the day before she married Timmy? It doesn't make sense. Look, who makes a multi-million dollar mistake on their financial disclosure form? Either her accountant went to one of those quality leering centers in Minnesota, or she lied about it. If she lied about it, that's a felony, Sean. If her accountant went to one of the quality leering centers, then she should work with us as a whistleblower to help us prosecute all of her fellow Somalis.
Starting point is 00:05:15 who are involved in this massive welfare scheme in Minnesota. Either way, she's never explained to the public how her net worth was $30 million, and if she made a mistake, how the mistake happened. I mean, it's not possible. You review that financial disclosure form. Before you hit enter, you enter all the assets in, and then it pops up, and you review it, and you hit it again.
Starting point is 00:05:40 So it's highly unlikely that she made a mistake. This isn't going to go away from her, So we're going to continue to try to push for answers and see if she, if her name pops up in any end of these frauds that Vice President Vance and the House Oversight Committee are detecting in Minnesota. You know, Patty Hamilton writing, it's called cooking the books. Yeah, okay? So the money laundering, cooking the books, fraud, whatever you want to call it. But so, you know, innocent until proven guilty, right? But I can tell you what my suspicions are.
Starting point is 00:06:10 She's a public figure and we've been talking about this forever. So my suspicion is that somehow you were buying, it was like pay to play with Ilhan Omar. So if you wanted, say, to get in on that feeding our future scam that she had introduced with legislation, I suspect, and this is just my own sort of intuition on it, and this is what they need to be looking at, did you have to go to the hubby, Timmy Minet, and say, hey, Timmy, we want to be in on this. And then all of a sudden the next thing you know, you're buying, purchasing shares in his little fund, which he's inflating the valuation of. And I don't know, was there some kind of
Starting point is 00:06:49 funny business going on with USAID? I'd be looking at that too because it seems that they were having something to do with solar panels in Africa. That was a big part of the business for him. You know, he was so proud. He was like, oh, we got all these diplomats working for us. And we're in all these different countries, like 81 different countries. And we've had like, oh, he had some outrageous number, like $60-some-odd billion, asset under-management experience. I'm like, yeah, no way. Like, I'm sorry. Like, I worked on Wall Street long before I was ever a financial reporter, and I've been around Wall Street my whole career as a business reporter.
Starting point is 00:07:26 There's no way you had that much experience with assets under management would actually make you one of the biggest funds in the country. So apparently nobody bothered to question all these things. He has since taken down the website, but it makes you think, yeah, there was some cook in the books. And so this ought to be, I get it. It's hard. It's hard. And you fold in the whole Huala system. I mean, think about the hundreds of millions of dollars that were leaving the Minneapolis airport every single year. I mean, and this was what was being reported in suitcases, cash, that they were just carrying out more than any other airport in the entire country. Because the Huala network you see, which is used in Middle Eastern communities,
Starting point is 00:08:05 is very person to person to person, and it's all being done cash to cash to cash. And So they make it very opaque and very difficult to figure out where it all went. But as Besson has said in the past, U.S. Treasury Secretary, Scott Besson, he's like, okay, but at some point they're buying homes in Somalia. They're buying cars somewhere. So there's going to be receipts of this. I get it. It's complicated.
Starting point is 00:08:25 It's hard. But we get sort of nothing here, and I'm a little frustrated. Like, I'm frustrated, okay? We're all frustrated. Let's go back to Tom Emer, who's also frustrated, the representative from Minnesota, who doesn't appreciate Ilhan Omar. here he is, just within the last 24 hours or so, again, on Newsmex. When you talk about Ilhan Omar, she is one of the most hateful people I've come across, Rob.
Starting point is 00:08:49 I mean, this is a racist. She is an anti-Semite, and you're right. She does not appreciate America. In fact, she likes to scold America, and yet she's taken full advantage of it. Yeah. Seems that way. seems that way. Taking advantage in more ways than one, right? Again, the Somalia influence maybe having a little bit too much influence on her. I mean, you just look at that community and you're
Starting point is 00:09:20 talking about 17, is it a billion dollars in fraud out of Minnesota alone. It's a problem, okay? It is a huge problem. We've got more on that because now Congress is looking to deport her over this fraud, over the immigration fraud. J.D. Vance had a big meeting today. You think she showed up, ooh, she's running as far away from him as she can. I'm going to get to that in a second, but first, quick shout out to one of our great sponsors. I always wanted to do a hair commercial. And I know you're seeing something for this company, which is one skin, go to oneskin. Go to oneskin.org slash regan for 15% off. But this is an amazing company. They actually have an amazing moisturizer, and I'm super, super picky about my skin and my moisturizers and all that kind
Starting point is 00:10:01 of thing. Really? No, I am. And so what I like about these guys is they have a fabulous, fabulous moisturizer and it's part because they've got some really good science behind it. It's actually very specific science that is very unique to them. It's the OS1 peptide formula that actually works on well, your skin, but it also works on your scalp. So I started using it for my hair because, you know, it's a benefit of this job. They send you all kinds of freebies. Most of the stuff I actually turned down, believe it or not, I drive my ad sales guys nuts. Full disclosure. Okay? They're like so sick of me because I'm like, no, no, no, no. But this company is actually really good. I love their moisturizer and I love what it does for my hair. You know, as you get older,
Starting point is 00:10:43 maybe your hair is like not. And hey, don't, you have to be careful with me today because, look, I'm off the coast of Morocco. I'm not in my normal studio. And I don't have my normal hair dryer and curling iron and the whole bit. But it's still doing pretty darn good. Thank you very much for, you know, no blow dry and the whole bit. And it's thanks to this company. I actually really love their products. So, again, love the skin products, but this hair stuff is amazing. You should check it out. You can get 15% off OS1 hair. It was founded in 2016, and they've just really, really kind of come into their own.
Starting point is 00:11:18 And I would just say, like, look, I tell all my friends, I give away all my secrets. They're like, oh, you know, what do you do? And for one, I use their product on my skin. Oneskin.com forward slash vegan. That way you can make sure you get the 15% off with your purchase. So tell them, by the way, tell them that you saw it here. Wonderful hair treatment options out there, wonderful skin options out there as well.
Starting point is 00:11:43 OneSkin.com forward slash weekend 15% off. But Congress, I should say. Now, Congress is looking to send Ilhan Omar on her way. Pecking. We're talking deportation, deportation. I mean, after all, apparently, J.D. Vance already has the proof. I mean, this is a heck of a thing to say, right? He came out on Benny Johnson's show and was like, yeah,
Starting point is 00:12:03 the woman committed immigration fraud. We are certain of it. Watch, remember? Ilya Omar definitely committed immigration fraud against the United States of America. And I talked to Steve Miller about this actually recently. We're trying to look at what the remedies are. That's the thing that we're trying to figure out is what are the legal remedies now that we know that she's committed immigration fraud. How do you go after her? How do you investigate her?
Starting point is 00:12:24 How do you actually do the thing? How do you build a case necessary to get some justice for the American people? There's a related issue, Benny, which is she is. has been at the center of a lot of the worst fraudsters in the Somaliian community. So do I know that Ilyan Omar was aware that the quality leering center was defrauding the American people? I'm not certain of it, but we at least need to investigate it because if people can commit wrongdoing without even the fear that they're going to be found out, that's a fundamental problem. So I'm worried about the immigration fraud. I'm also worried about what did Ileon Omar know about what was happening in the Somali
Starting point is 00:13:02 community and why was nobody looking into it until frankly Donald Trump gave it long. Why was nobody looking into it? Well, we know why nobody was looking into it. They were terrified to look into it because they weren't going to get elected. Do you think Timmy boy? The other Timmy, not the one she married, but they got a lot of Timmy's apparently in the state of Minnesota. Who knew? So Timmy, my net, the hubby being one, Timmy Walsh being the other. And he just didn't have an opportunity, of course, to look into any of this because the minute he did, they would have been all over them. I mean, we've got like leaked audio of Keith Ellison kind of say, hey, yeah, don't worry. I got your back, right? I'll take care of it. We'll make this stuff go away. So they needed that
Starting point is 00:13:43 community. That community was incredibly important to them because they were all voting and they were going to vote whichever way they were told to vote. Rocket scientists that they all are having, you know, studied at the Leering Center. And so they were going to vote for whoever the Somalian community wanted. So I don't think Timmy Walts felt like he could do a darn thing or anybody else for that matter. So they all looked the other way. And the question becomes, as J.D. points out, how much did she know? And I actually think it could be quite a bit. I mean, I think that that's why the husbands, the hubbies, venture capital, private equity, whatever the heck it was, investment fund with the alleged $60 billion assets under management that they had experience. And you got to be
Starting point is 00:14:30 kidding me. That is why he was probably charging such a larger or putting such a large valuation on his company when it wasn't worth anything. We know it wasn't worth anything. And I just want to also point out, you know what, Biden's Treasury Department, they were on to him too. Because if you look at some of the legal filings in Washington Free Beacon was one of the first to report this, this was pretty interesting. If you go back to those legal filings, they were getting sued by like every Tom and Harry because, or Muhammad, Muhammad and Muhammad, I don't know. But anyway, he had kind of a track record in his business, you know, all the lovely cannabis shops he had been opening and wine businesses. You know, she's apparently not a very good Muslim. So he had all these sideline businesses
Starting point is 00:15:16 and he was getting sued when they were alleging, dare I say, wronged. Right? Whoa. Huh, funny how that works. So all these people keep suing. And at one point when they wanted some money back or one of the people that were suing them wanted money back, the partner puts out an email and basically are in the discovery process because again, Washington Freebeacon went back and looked at these legal records and he said, well, it's all right, we can't, we can't because Biden's Treasury Department had frozen their funds and frozen their account on suspicions of, terrorist financing activity?
Starting point is 00:15:57 Well, I mean, that's the arm of the treasury that was investigating them and that froze their funds. So this could actually be really deep. I mean, maybe that's one. I'm going to give the government the benefit of the dad, the Trump administration, because I know, like, he does not want any grass growing under them. Maybe we just needed to get a new AG in there.
Starting point is 00:16:18 We'll see if Blanche can pull it off because it turns out Lisa Mokovsky isn't such a fan right now. So we'll see whether or not he finally gets, he's lost one sort of key Republican senator that I think he had. So maybe you just need a head of the DOJ. I don't know. I don't know what we're waiting on, but I'm getting kind of fed up. And in the meantime, yes, you have the issue that it's believed she married her brother. And I keep saying, you know what, she didn't even have to marry the brother. It doesn't even have to be that bad. I mean, it probably is. But it doesn't even have to be that bad because if she married someone just to marry someone just to give him citizenship,
Starting point is 00:16:53 then boom, she committed immigration fraud. Like that's a serious, serious, serious offense, and they're going to get her on it. And by the way, Randy Fine out of Florida, he wants them to get her on it. He keeps saying, why do we have this woman in Congress? By the way, a woman who has multiple citizenships. How can she have like Somalian citizenship and American citizenship? That doesn't really seem right, right? I mean, she's supposed to be representing the U.S., the people in Minnesota.
Starting point is 00:17:21 again, the U.S. And yet you get the Somalia president that comes over and campaigns for her. You wonder why Timmy's so worried. Campaigns for her in Minnesota. And then he's out there saying, well, you know, Ilhan, she doesn't care about Ilhan. Ilhan doesn't care about Minnesota. She doesn't care about the United States. She cares about Somalia.
Starting point is 00:17:43 Well, good. You said it. I don't have to then. Here's Randy. She needs to leave. On Omar is a walking example of everything that is wrong with our legal immigration policy. We imported tens of thousands of people who hate America, add no value to it, rob and steal from us, and we're supposed to be okay with it.
Starting point is 00:18:07 Not okay with it. You know what, Randy, you're absolutely right. We're not okay with it. We're not okay with her. We're not okay with the fraud. We're not okay with her dual citizenship. and we're not okay with feeding our future. I mean, when I say fraud, I guess I'm speaking quite broadly
Starting point is 00:18:26 because we get a lot of stuff to work with there. We get the marriage fraud, which, by the way, the White House says, has happened, and then we've got the alleged connections. Well, no, I shouldn't even say alleged. We know that she was connected. I guess we just have to say alleged sort of fraud with her deliberately, with her hand in the cookie jar,
Starting point is 00:18:47 and that's what they've got to be able to prove out. So nobody really likes her, like nobody, except for a few of her diehard fans, like, oh, the Hassan Pikers of the world that think America deserved 9-11, and then Rashida to leave her partner in crime that somehow wants us to just exile Israel. I mean, they got quite a crew, quite a band of singers, Mamdami, leaving the church. Oh, I got some good stuff on him today. Anyway, Tom Emmer saying, yes, we need to deport the woman. We're expanding and clarifying existing law to include anyone who comes to this country and defrauds the generosity of Americans and our government. And in this case, you know, the feeding our future scandal is one of the many in Minnesota,
Starting point is 00:19:31 but that's the largest pandemic fraud case in the country. It was $250 million. Over 90 people were charged, and 85 of them are from the Somali community. If you come to this country, and I understand that in Somalia, you've got to lie, cheat, and steal just to survive. But if you come to this country and you continue to lie, cheat, and steal, you should not be allowed to maintain your citizenship. You should be denaturalized and shipped back to where you came from. And by the way, that would include marriage fraud. But um, okay? Heck yeah. So Emma from the win on that one, they got, they got a lot of work to do.
Starting point is 00:20:09 I'm just saying they got a lot of work to do. But, you know, I think that if they buckle down and they roll up their sleeves that there's probably a lot there. And I'm just getting a little frustrated, like we all are, right, because it's like, okay, okay, okay. And I know all these Congresspeople are demanding it, requesting it. We've spoken with the woman who's leading the charge out in Minnesota as well. And she's been right here on this show saying, gosh, you know, we need more. At what point can we force her to? I mean, how is this just sort of to her discretion? I'd like to know. Really. I mean, like, how does she get to decide whether or not she's going to turnover specific documents when the House Ethics Committee is sitting here going,
Starting point is 00:20:50 we're not sure how it is you went from negative $60,000 to 30 mil to like nothing all over again. I think she's rounded up around 80 to 100k is her net worth. I mean, it just doesn't make any sense. But this woman, she keeps crashing out. She really crashed out over the Save Act. She really, really hates this Save Act. Well, you know, that would kind of crimper style. I mean, you're relying on a whole bunch of people who just got off the boat yesterday and may or may not have citizenship.
Starting point is 00:21:24 Yeah, that that might be a bit of a problem if they start asking a lot of questions like, hey, do you have an ID? You know, you need an ID for the all you can eat pasta bar right now at Olive Garden. One would think you would need an ID to vote, except Ilhan Omar doesn't want you to have that. No, no, no, no, she's crashing out, flipping out. oh my gosh, this SAVE Act, and she's just so thankful because there's a few idiot Republicans that somehow decided to join the Democrats in stopping this for now. For now, here she is speaking. Congress, one of the other things that we are staying vigilant and watching out for is the president's number one priority, which is the SAFE Act. We believe that is a piece of legislation that is
Starting point is 00:22:07 going to disenfranchise so many people from their ability to vote. and we have fortunately partners in the Senate that are bipartisan that are advocating for the bill not being passed. Oh, okay, the bill not being passed. I know we're having a little bit of technical difficulty. So bear with me here. I think we had a little bit of buffering in the shop. But we're coming back. We're coming back strong. You know, sometimes some people don't want me getting through to you, I think. Hmm. Anyway, she's basically going on and on about how, you know, we got to keep this thing from happening. We got to stop it in its tracks. And it's like, Ilhan, why? Like, I keep saying this. Like, why are they so upset about this?
Starting point is 00:22:57 If you need ID for literally everything, if you need an ID just to go in and hear this woman speak, then why wouldn't you, seriously, why wouldn't you have an ID to vote? it shouldn't be this difficult. It shouldn't be this contentious, really? Meanwhile, she was also asked today about where she was on that whole impeachment thing because, you know, there's a bunch of rabid lunatics out there that still want to go back to the well and still want to talk about impeaching the president
Starting point is 00:23:29 to the United States. Of course, I would say to her credit, she's not as stupid as sometimes we think. She knows that if she doesn't have the vote, in the Senate, it's probably kind of a waste of time. So she kind of makes that point. Not before she's giggling happily. The whole audience is giggling after the guy's like,
Starting point is 00:23:48 so when are we going to impeach him? Watch. See, giggling. I mean, I don't know because our numbers are not set yet. You know, there's still, like I said earlier, there's still primaries happening. So it depends on what the makeup looks like. House in the Senate. There is, to me, at least I don't believe that there is a reason to engage
Starting point is 00:24:15 in an impeachment effort if he is going to be acquitted in the Senate. So depending on what we're looking at and what purpose it will serve, that is going to be something that we have to look at. Ah, okay, so she's saying what purpose will that serve? Well, I mean, it might serve your purpose of just looking like a fool all over again because, you know, you're not going to be. going to get it to first base. So she's kind of figured that one out. And maybe they're also figuring out what I've said all along, which is that at some point you can't just be anti-Trump, anti-Trump, anti-Trump. At some point, the party actually has to stand for something more. This is why the Democrats are in the position that they're in. It's why they've got all the inmates, you know,
Starting point is 00:24:58 running the asylum at this point, because you don't have anybody who's actually standing for anything real. I mean, that's what's so, you know, these, these communists, I mean, I'm going to go out there and just say they're communist because they're not socialist. They're really not. And they're trying to sort of weaponize this anger and this hate and they're using Palestine as part of it. I mean, I really think that this is Marxism, but it's dressed up with this idea that somehow we're saving the Palestinians. And so that's how they're dragging all the Muslims and they're all there, you know, the Abdul al-Said and Ilhan Omar and Rashida Talib and Mamdami and the rest of them that are pushing a certain agenda.
Starting point is 00:25:41 I mean, at this point, AOC might soon start looking quaint. I would just say this. You know what? They all need to go back and read the Declaration of Independence. You should do that as well. Our friends over at Americans for Prosperity, AFP, have put together a toolkit. In fact, you can go to A250 Toolkit.com forward slash Trish, and you can sign the Declaration of Independence yourself.
Starting point is 00:26:00 And you can see all the great stuff. They've got all these great ideas on how you can celebrate our founding fathers. I mean, I was an early American history major in school, so I kind of love this stuff. Like, I can really get into it and walk out. And I have a tremendous appreciation and respect for what they put forward. And I look at these idiots coming forward today. And I think, like, everybody needs to go back and read the Declaration of Independence. Everybody needs to go back and read the Constitution.
Starting point is 00:26:24 Believe it or not, I have a little tiny one that I keep right by the side of my bed. Because, you know, I told you. I'm a little weird, right? So, you know, some people, you know, have a book or two. I've got the Constitution. But I would say, go and, like, look at all this stuff because there's great ideas. You can teach your kids, your grandkids, A250 Toolkit.com. Ilhan Omar is skipping out on JD's fraud meeting. So JD has this big fraud meeting today.
Starting point is 00:26:52 And where's Ilhan? Anyone? Anyone? He invited her. I mean, that might have been a little awkward. I'm just saying. But he invited her. And she was not there.
Starting point is 00:27:04 And he invited a lot of Democrats, and somehow none of them bothered to show up, which is actually going to be a problem, I think. Anyway, listen to J.D. We don't want the next administration, whoever, you know, God forbid, you're going to have President El-Sahad in three years. We don't want him to undo all the incredible work
Starting point is 00:27:22 that we've been doing. And we would love, I'm not necessarily holding my breath, but we would love to work with Democrats in Washington to codify some of the anti-fraud actions that we've taken. Yeah, I'm just looking at some of your comments there, and thanks for sticking with me. Yeah, as soon as I start talking about communism, oops, I said the word. We're going to start buffering again, right? Anyway, you heard JD, he's like, listen, we need to bring everybody in because isn't this
Starting point is 00:27:48 kind of a commonality theme, like common theme? Like, we should all agree on one thing that there should be no fraud, no fraud. And yet, wow, there's a lot of fraud, and for whatever reason, you've got Republicans that are helping and Democrats that are standing in the way and Democrats that won't come forward, I guess because they think that maybe they're going to be implicated in some of this. Well, you know, I mean, if you're that worried about being found out to be guilty, Ilhan, maybe you are. Maybe you are.
Starting point is 00:28:18 This is a problem down the road because you see, if people aren't working on these things together and it does come out that all the Democrats were somehow engaged in fraud, then, well, yeah, let's just say it's going to look. political, even though it shouldn't be. It shouldn't be political because everybody should be united on the idea of being against corruption. You want to fight corruption. Abdul el-Said. He is being unmasked as quite a phony, quite a big phony. He might actually, you heard J.D. talking about, well, you know, this guy, if he gets in there as president one day, we're really going to have to deal with a lot of sticky stuff, right? Because that's why you want a united force basically
Starting point is 00:29:07 fighting this fraud and it can be bipartisan. Because this guy's super partisan, just like Mamdami, just like Ilhan, all of them. And so that could be a problem. You know, this guy is such a phony. This new tape came out today and he was just caught on hot Mike saying how much he hated a particular Michigan town that's like super American, super all-American. This is really concerning because he would be representing this town. It's kind of like, oh, Ilhan Omar, she's not representing the people of Minnesota. She's representing Somalia. And this guy, who's he representing?
Starting point is 00:29:46 Apparently, not the people of this particular island. Watch. Please watch yourself. He's cut on hot mic. I guess this is some documentary he was making. and he's getting onto the ferry. Nice little quaint. I hate back on so much.
Starting point is 00:30:04 He says he hates Mikau. It's funny because if we win, this is going to be the like summer home. I just feel like every time I've ever come here, I've hated it. Why am I here? Okay. Got a pretty good battle shaping up. I want to just, before we get to this next sound bite,
Starting point is 00:30:22 just point out. So there he is. El-Said that wants to be the next Democrat senator from Michigan saying how much he hates Macau and oh my gosh, you know, we're going to have to come back here in the summer. It's going to be the summer home. It's like a very American, very, very, quaint, quintessential American town. So, of course, he hates it, right? So, yeah.
Starting point is 00:30:42 So he's such a phony. I mean, he's such a phony. And so this hot mic video got leaked today, which is important because Michigan voters need to know that he kind of hate you guys, okay? At least those that don't look like him or belong to. his mosque, I guess. Meanwhile, remember when the Ayatollah was taken out? And everybody was like, wow, okay, that's good. Like, we took out the Ayatollah. And he wants everybody to remember. He's also caught in another hot mic telling everybody, listen, we have to be careful here. Like, I don't want
Starting point is 00:31:12 to come out and talk about this because there's a lot of people that are really grieving. Oh, he's really in touch with all the anti-America pro-Iraun folks out there. It kind of makes you wonder if the guy's a plant of some sort. Here he is. on tape saying that and then was asked about it by Bill Halmer over on Fox News and then did some giant song and dance and tried to pivot. A little pirouette that he's dancing theater kid that he is. Michigan, a Michigan Democratic Senate candidate taking heat over some leaked audio. This happened right after the killing of Iran's Supreme Leader about a month ago. Here's in part what he told his staff. I also want to remind you guys that there are a lot of people in
Starting point is 00:31:50 near born who are sad today. So like I just don't want to comment on Khamani Khomeini at all. I don't think it's worse even touching that. Okay, that candidate is Abdul al-Said. He wants to be a senator from Michigan, and he's my guest now. And sir, good morning to you. Thanks for coming on here. I want to give you a chance to hear you out.
Starting point is 00:32:13 You know what Iran has done for almost 50 years. why did the comment come off that way with your staff, sir? Look, I'll tell you this, we're in the midst of a war. We don't need to be fighting. It's illegal, it's immoral. It's using our tax dollars to raise our gas prices from a MAGA-backed movement that told us that they would never get us into another foreign entanglement. And here we are.
Starting point is 00:32:36 And I just want to remind you that most people in the city of Dearborn and Dearborn Heights are not Arab American. They are white. And they're worried, just like I am, they're saddened by the fact that their tax prices go up and they are watching their gas prices go up with it, all to fight a war that we shouldn't really be a part of. Yeah, I appreciate the fact that you're against the war. I understand that. But there are more people in Michigan
Starting point is 00:32:56 that are going to side your fate politically who don't live in Dearborn, Michigan. Would you accept that? And would you also accept the idea that some Arab Americans in Dearborn may see the downfall of this regime as a good thing? You know, Bill, I'll tell you this. There are many people who see the downfall of the regime
Starting point is 00:33:15 as a good thing, But the question of whether or not it was pursued legally, that's a different question. Whether or not it's worth $31 billion of our taxes and counting a billion dollars a day, that's another thing. Whether or not we should be paying higher rates at the pump every single time we try to just get where we're going. So he goes on and on and on and on about that. I'm going to just tell you, the guy's against the Iran war because he's pro-Iran. All right?
Starting point is 00:33:41 He's pro-Palestinian. who gives Hezbollah and Hamas their biggest source of funding? They wouldn't exist without Iran. And now this guy is coming about with his tight t-shirts, trying to look like, you know, he's all that. And then, oh, did you see the one? Did you see this? Where he was asked something about Instagram,
Starting point is 00:34:07 and he's like, oh my gosh, I can't believe this. I get all these like only fans models over and over and over again on my Instagram account. and I'm like, what is going on? They feed us that stuff because they just know that I'm a young man. And it's like, does anybody want to tell him? I mean, I'm just going to say I get puppies and babies, okay? Puppies and babies nonstop.
Starting point is 00:34:31 And Abdul al-Said gets only fans models. There's a reason for that, Abdul. Okay, so he is such a phony. He is such a flat-out phony who is going, I guarantee you to do harm to America. So he's a dangerous phony. Bad dude, almost as bad is this guy. One mem damee, but you know what? It's all coming out about this guy. All coming out. Oh, my Irish brother in the horrible city of Seattle. Thank you, Kuta, 1169. Appreciate it. Hang in there in Seattle. I know it's tough. I know it's tough. But Mam Dami, he's a bad
Starting point is 00:35:14 because he doesn't know who he is. I mean, if we're going to talk about El Saeed being a big giant phony, pretending he loves Michigan and then trash him one in the towns that's kind of a key part of Michigan or, you know, going out there and saying, I can't, I can't, you know, say that this is good that the Ayatollah is dead because, you know, I got all these peeps that really care about the Ayatola. Yeah. He's kind of just a giant fixture. for Iran and, you know, I kind of wonder, wonder what his candidacy is all about. But he's not the only one
Starting point is 00:35:50 because you also have Mamdami, who's the same kind of thing. And, you know, we've wondered for a while, who is he, other than an annoying little twit who couldn't get into the college that his own father taught colonial, anti-colonialism at? Yeah. Well, Mamdami, it has been revealed, had a very different accent. This just came out a couple hours ago. In 2016, this thing was just discovered. So in 2016, he sat down to do an interview and listen, ladies and gentlemen, how he sounds. I mean, we also do, you know, our showkeys. We do our showkeys in Kampala.
Starting point is 00:36:31 But, I mean, having a dance move to a song is a big thing, right? But I would say the Nigerians have really patented that. The Nigerians come out with a song, like Yemi Alladay has a song called, what's the name? Kofi Annan. She has a song called Kofi Annan. Do the Kofi Annan. Now all my friends in Kampala are doing the Kofi Annan. So, Ugandan, we don't really have as many dance moves associated with the song,
Starting point is 00:36:55 but we will always dance. We are always dancing. That's the thing. The difference for me is, you know, I'm from Uganda, but I also grew up in New York. In New York, you don't really, you know, you go out, some guys are very hesitant to dance. You know, if they're not grinding, they're just standing. In Kampala, you will just not find that. People are all dancing.
Starting point is 00:37:14 Everybody's dancing. Men, women, and it's fantastic, that. Fantastic. I mean, who the hell is he? I'm sorry. An Iranian plant as well? I mean, he just, I mean, that's pretty good, right? Because I know that we've joked about Hillary's accents in the past.
Starting point is 00:37:35 She sounds like a different woman when she goes to the south or Kamala Harris. Even AOC got a little touch of the southern twang. the southern twang is actually kind of an easy thing to pick up because they've got like a nice lilt to their you know i get it like i i go to the south i i always want to talk like a southerner but this guy what is that what is that seriously so ma'm dami um he's kind of leading the charge along with abdul al-said along with ilhan omar along with rishita to leave you're basically seeing this muslims unite movement that's being used and capitalized upon because they're able to say, oh, my gosh, the poor Palestinians, oh, those big awful Israelis, those big awful Americans, we hate them all.
Starting point is 00:38:26 We hate capitalism. We want to throw it out and start all over because it's really worked well for you all over the world and all the parts of the world that you came here from, right? Well, they're rolling up their sleeves and they're getting to work, so don't say they in warning. Watch. Ilana and I first got elected. You know, there were some folks saying, you know, we want more Muslims to get elected, so maybe, you know, they'll be, tone it down. I know, I was trying to be nice. It's my name. And she made a note, like, since we've gotten elected since 2019, 200 Muslims have been elected across the country. So we think about that for one
Starting point is 00:39:04 moment is this, the incredible movement. I know we were just part of it. We weren't the reason, Oh, well, she's trying to be modest there, I guess. We weren't the reason. We were just part of it. Here, you're just part of it because it's actually something bigger. I mean, I actually think that you probably have a very broad effort going on, a very international, a very global effort that comes to us courtesy of China, courtesy of Iran. And Russia may have a thing to do with this as well. And basically, they want to see the U.S. divided. They want to see the success of these Muslim. communist candidates that are trying to undo the success of America. I mean, from within. It's the Trojan horse on steroids. Here's this Ethiopian woman, Milat Kyros, from the first district of Colorado who's
Starting point is 00:39:58 going to be going to Congress too. She's going to get elected. And boy, she just puts it right out there, okay, guys? They want to take us down because they see us as being responsible for having destroyed their home countries. Well, for goodness sakes, just go back, okay? Just go back. Now, they're not content doing that.
Starting point is 00:40:17 They want to hurt us first. Watch. I think it's particularly important, not just for our community in Tigray, but communities of the global South period, right? There's a certain reckoning that we are going to have to have with the global world order as it exists today and the way that it fundamentally will have to shift going forward, right? The responsibility that we have as Americans, the recognition that we are.
Starting point is 00:40:40 that is going to be required of us, of the exploitative and extractive nature that we play on the global scale and the global stage is only going to be challenged if we are getting represented by people who understand that on a fundamental level, right? And that means getting more immigrants into office. That means getting more people who have heritage in the global south into office, because that's where those decisions are made specifically. Okay, just to be really clear, these aren't just any immigrants. These are immigrants from, as she said, the global South, because that's the only way you're going to combat what America has done in her estimation to the global South. Wow. Wow. Wow. Okay, so there's some deep rooted anti-Americanism there.
Starting point is 00:41:34 And these are the people that are heading straight to Washington, D.C. These are the people that are that are being charged with taking care of this country. You understand how dangerous this is becoming. You know, some people are figuring out. I'd like to give a shout out to my friends over in Staten Island, New York. Woo! Look at that. You see this?
Starting point is 00:42:06 Mamdami getting booed right off the stage. That's what I'm talking about. Oh, no, we're not. No, we're not. We're getting awards. Somebody's getting an award. You want to see? Who's getting an award?
Starting point is 00:42:44 Is that not amazing? It was absolutely positively fantastic and amazing. And so he's quite the performer. Well, you know, he was like a child actor of some sort. You saw him in the Disney bit. And a rap star. Lots of anti-American language in his rap music. Anyway, so he's ever the composed actor gets up there with his new American accent, right,
Starting point is 00:43:13 as opposed to what we just heard and tells us, like everything's great. But that was a quick speech. That was really, really quick, because they just boot them and boot them and boot them right off the stage in Staten Island, New York. We need more of that, okay? We need more where that came from. Do we have more where that came from?
Starting point is 00:43:33 I hope. I mean, I hope it's not all a bunch of Brooklyn hipsters that are dominating New York now. I mean, we need all of those people going out to vote over and over and over and over again. And you know what? I guarantee there's a lot more of them out there in this country
Starting point is 00:43:48 that still appreciate the greatness that is America and want to protect it. Because it needs protection. I'll tell you, Hillary Clinton came out today and did this interview on this woman who's like a tech. She used to be a tech financial journalist. And somehow now she's a political one. Like I said, I mean, Donald Trump, he's dominated those news airwaves. I don't know what some people are going to do like the view when he's no longer in office or this lady. So Hillary Clinton goes on to, her podcast because it's real friendly, friendly, friendly, friendly territory. She's super liberal. And Hillary basically said, we need to make sure we purge the entire government of anybody that supported Trump.
Starting point is 00:44:34 I'm like, whoa, okay. So this is basically what Obama did, right? Obama had all of his people. That's how it became the deep state. That's how you wound up with things like Oxford comma investigation following crossfire hurricane, you know, Russia. Russia, Russia, Russia, Russia, on steroids. Russia, Russia, Russia squared. Well, Hillary Clinton is now out there saying, not only do we have to win, but we need to purge ourselves
Starting point is 00:45:00 of all of these Republicans. This is dangerous rhetoric, all right? She should know better. Clean up, fixings. You know, there's going to be so much to fix. I mean, first, you know, get rid of all of the holdovers. Do not let anybody hang around
Starting point is 00:45:17 in some small office somewhere who can literally subvert your program and you don't even know that person's there. And I will predict that, you know, Trump and his minions are going to try to, you know. Put people. They're going to try to move people from political appointments to so-called civil service appointments, although they're trying to destroy the civil service. So people are going to have to be really searching to make sure that they are not going to be literally subverted from within the government.
Starting point is 00:45:45 That's a really good point. Oh, yeah, because, you know, that's what you guys did, didn't you? I mean, what do you think? The whole Oxford comma thing was, they didn't think they had enough with Crossfire Hurricane. They had to double down. So this just came out this week. I reported it on it for you on Wednesday. Unbelievable stuff. The White House has now leaked these documents. They went to John Solomon over just the news. And I brought them to you here. They've all been declassified by the FBI. So basically, these new secret documents have found that there was a whole separate investigation going on behind the scenes. So they were just like, okay, we may not get where we want to go with
Starting point is 00:46:25 crossfire hurricane. So because he, Donald Trump, fired James Comey, because James Comey was a bad dude and quite a loser and, you know, drinking the company Kool-Aid and deep state on steroids. So because they came back with a, because they came back with like nothing, they were like, okay, well, let's go do another investigation. This is bad stuff. Okay. this all came out. And in the documentation, they are basing their entire case on the crossfire hurricane investigation, the assessment of reliable information that they got received during the course of the investigation. They're saying because they wasn't reliable. I mean, you even had Peter struck texting Lisa Page, his girlfriend, and being nice, saying there's not a lot of
Starting point is 00:47:19 they're there. I mean, everybody knew there was no there there. The FBI agent, Barnett, came out and said, there's nothing here. Like, we got nothing. So they had nothing. And so they decided to double down on nothing with your taxpayer dollars and behind the scenes, and then they tried to hide it. These are like the burnbags that they're finding now. At FBI headquarters, burnbags. I mean, they're computer documents, right? So this is all, and they didn't want people to be able to search for this. So if you heard anything about Oxford comma, you were going to search for O-X-F-O-R-D, Oxford. And they spelled it O-X-F-E-R-D, just to kind of trip you up, especially if there was some kind of FOIA request or anything. I mean, look, they stacked the deck,
Starting point is 00:48:01 and then all of a sudden, Donald Trump's back for round two, and they are freaking out. This is why it was so important to them that he not win, that they were willing to go to any kind of length, because they knew you were going to find out. I mean, Hillary, I guess, to her credit, she's willing to just put all the dirty laundry out there because she's like, oh, we need to make sure we get rid of all of them, because you could have some lowly person working in some small office somewhere and they could actually hold things up like you guys did over and over and over and over again. Nonsense.
Starting point is 00:48:32 I mean, bad, bad stuff. Anyway, you know what? The markets were higher today, weren't they? Which was good news, right? I always love it when we have a day when the market is higher. Let me double check that information because, like I said, I'm over here off the coast of Spain, very close to Seuta, by the way, right near on the sort of Moroccan African coast there. So let me just double check this.
Starting point is 00:48:56 But I saw earlier in this session that the market was doing great today. And I love seeing that. I think that there's some optimism that we are going to get something, although, you know, don't count your chickens before they hatch on Iran. I'm just saying, I'm just saying because one day it's this, the next day it's that. Anyway, pretty decent day. We've been seeing a lot of upside, a lot of momentum. And this is despite what we saw with the jobs report, right? I mean, we were losing more than 20,000 jobs last month. What's that about? And yet here we are a new record high on the S&P. Indeed, ending the day up nicely, up six-tenths of a percent at 7,757 on the S&P 500. The Dow Jones Industrial Average now at 54,000 in change. And the NASDAQ composite index, nice little turnaround there, up 1.3.3. percent, 342 points of good, good stuff to see. And this is despite what we saw in the jobs report. So people are like, well, how does that make any sense? It could mean that some people think,
Starting point is 00:49:56 gee, maybe the Fed will come to the rescue after all. Maybe they won't actually move rates higher, at least just keep them where they are, maybe even put them down. But regardless of what happens, regardless of all this volatility, regardless of the Fed, regardless of what's going on in Iran, There's one thing I think you can count on. You know I'm very bullish and very optimistic about the future. I talk about it a lot. And I think that there's a lot of things now that just in play, as long as we don't get the communists taken over,
Starting point is 00:50:22 we should be in pretty good shape. But Dr. Kirk thinks that too. Dr. Kirk over at KEPM, he was on recently with us, and he was talking about gold and silver. And he loves silver for different reasons than gold. Let me go to him and explain. You know, everything in life boils down to supply and demand, the price of everything.
Starting point is 00:50:40 And we have to ask ourselves this question. Just because of the Iran conflict, does that mean supply and demand for silver, for example, changed? No. You look at where the world is going, AI chips, cryptocurrency, mining, solar, battery, technology, electric vehicles. The demand for silver is sky high. But what we've seen since December of 2025, when silver was $59 an ounce, we got this overbought status. it did extremely well. We've basically recovered.
Starting point is 00:51:15 It corrected and came down to that level, which to me, when the demand and supply hasn't changed. In fact, demand has gone up, supply has gone down. This, to me, is the best buying opportunity on earth for a commodity where the demand is still going up, but yet you can buy it at a discounted price at today's levels.
Starting point is 00:51:36 So he has some very interesting things to say. You should go back and if you get a chance, watch some of my interviews with him because he's got a very interesting and knowledgeable perspective on everything going on with the Fed, going on with sort of international markets and brick countries that are trying to displace us with the U.S. dollar, and how that affects you as an investor specifically when it comes to gold and silver. So go check out Trish loves gold and silver.com. Trish loves gold and silver.com to learn more about investing. in those. Again, markets having a great day, and I can see you guys. Thank you. You were quick to answer.
Starting point is 00:52:12 Peace of my mind and also Don Bako, of course. And yes, we saw a nice recovery there in the NASDAQ. I love seeing that oil also being down gone to play tennis points out. So listen, there's a lot of reasons for some optimism, even despite that jobs report, if you would. If you're interested in buying gold or silver, you know it. Trish loves gold and silver.com. Has a kind of a nice ring to it, right? Anyway, we're talking about all these phonies because we get phonies every which way I turn. One of the biggest phonies of them all and one of the most stoop. I'm sorry, but she's just not that bright. Justice Katanji Brown Jackson, humiliating herself on a new appearance with Michelle Obama.
Starting point is 00:52:52 Michelle Obama has a podcast these days. Who doesn't have a podcast? I don't think it does very well. But she gets kind of big old guess, right, to come on like a Supreme Court justice. Now the Supreme Court Justice, like I've said, isn't the brightest bulb. And because of that, kind of walked right into this. Listen to how she's telling Michelle and Michelle's, was it her brother or her little friends along the set with her? She's telling them, I have to be so careful.
Starting point is 00:53:26 I have to be so careful, you know, because I don't want anybody thinking that maybe I'm biased. I have to be so careful about anything that I do. all while she's on the former First Lady's podcast where we know what her bias is. For goodness sakes, come on. Don't try and pretend to be something you're not. Leave that for Mam Dami and El Saeed, Ms. Brown. You know, there are lots of limits on what judges can do. And I try to be very, very mindful and scrupulous with respect to that.
Starting point is 00:53:59 because, as you say, our obligation is to be unbiased in our approach. And so you have to then navigate all the sources that could make for an appearance of partiality, which you want to avoid. So there are lots of things that I end up not accepting for that reason. New sources, I think, you know, I don't have a lot of time. Unfortunately, you know, but I do. you know, the normal general media sources are made available. And I think it's harder when you're talking about there's so much social media now. I know. This is a whole different world.
Starting point is 00:54:43 It's a whole different world. And not everything is reliable. And the hardest part for judges is that we really cannot participate. Probably saving you some brain cells. Exactly. We need you focused on your opinions. Yes. I mean, she's just sort of funny, right?
Starting point is 00:55:01 Like, I mean, she's supposed to be brilliant, right? Like, that's kind of like a big deal to get the Supreme Court justice gig. You're supposed to be really smart. I don't think she's that smart because you wouldn't just walk right into that one. Here she's, unless she's just so obtuse. And that's actually something to think about. Like a lot of these people on the left are so clueless in terms of perception, right? right? Like they just think that, you know, they can have their own sort of standard, their own way of
Starting point is 00:55:34 life that has nothing to do with what they spout off. It's the rules for the, but not for me, kind of thing. And here she is saying, oh, I have to be so careful. I can only do this, that, and the other, because I don't want to be accused of having any kind of political bias. And then you go on Michelle Obama's show. Talking about being tone deaf, having no ability to be self-aware on anything. I mean, she really humiliated herself, if you ask me. her self on there. Hey, we were just talking about the markets being up today. If you guys haven't gone to check out my company 76 research.com, please do me that favor. When you get a chance, go look at those portfolios. I really think this is where the value at is because, you know,
Starting point is 00:56:13 well, I mean, we do have a wonderful newsletter, a wonderful newsletter. We just published a big piece this morning on, do you anybody follow that Leopold thing and how Ken Griffin got the best of them? It's a little lesson in, you know, how not to be too naive or too greedy. if you would. Anyway, we put a great note on that today, but we have these model portfolios, and there's eight to ten stocks in each one of them, and the portfolios have done very well. So I encourage you to go check that out at 76research.com today. You can get the 76 report for a dollar a month for the first two months, and it goes to $9.95, or you can get these portfolios, which, again, that to me is where so much of that value add is.
Starting point is 00:56:53 I told you where I am right now, right? I told you, I actually pulled a little map. I took this right off of my cell phone, believe it or not. So I'm actually just off the coast of Tangier, heading over to where our bases are, Rota Moron, near Carriz, in Spain. So on the southern tip there, you can see Gibraltar. You can see Marbella. Actually, I was in Marbeia just yesterday.
Starting point is 00:57:17 I went looking for those boats. I got some good video, too, but because of Internet issues, it's not coming through to me right now. I wanted to show you. I went looking for votes, but, you know, I think I was in perhaps. too nice an area of Marbea. They weren't going to have the boats coming in there. But I did look. I did look hard. But that's what's been going on, right? Because people are coming from Africa right there to
Starting point is 00:57:39 the tip of Spain. And I've showed you some of that video before of them getting off there on the Andalusian coast. And so I am here on the Andalusian coast. I was in Morocco today in Tangier, actually. I didn't really do too much. It's really not. my scene, but I was able to do a little bit of reporting just in terms of talking to people. They do all seem to want to get out. They all do seem to want to go to Spain naturally, right? Because we've heard that over and over again, it's a better opportunity for them. And the problem that they're having in this little town of Seuta right now, along with Melia, and we haven't talked much about Melia, but in Melia, also a Spanish town on the northern coast of Africa, they're having a big
Starting point is 00:58:24 problem because they've also got thousands of people, thousands of people that have been coming in there as well. But Seuta, that's the one that you've been seeing in the news. That's the one that they still can't get rid of these migrants from. So it's still a problem. They still have thousands and thousands of people there. And all the other countries in Europe are getting a little bit concerned. And so as a result of this, amid this concern that these migrants are still there, that they are filtering into Spain at a pretty rapid rate, Spain is now getting a little upset because what did Italy do? Italy said, hey, we don't want any Spaniards coming in without a little extra something. We're going to basically get rid of our Schengen agreement with you. And so Spain in turn said, okay, yeah, well,
Starting point is 00:59:10 we're going to get rid of our Schengen agreement with you. And so as a result, you have a little bit of a breakdown there in the relationship between Italy and Spain, which I say, you know, it was probably a long time coming, right? A long time coming. These are people shouting al-Aqbar as they're taking over the city of Seuta. It really was an invasion, guys. It just was an invasion, and they're still there. I mean, the accounts are for somewhere around 5,000, 10,000 people. That's still a pretty big percentage. When you're talking about a town of 80,000 people and you still got, you know, roughly 10% of the population, 8 to 10,000, 5 to 10,000, I've seen estimates of from some of the Seuta officials. That's a big deal. Okay, that's a big deal.
Starting point is 00:59:56 They came in originally with 60,000. That's a huge deal. That really is an invasion. And so now, naturally, the rest of Europe is concerned. We now have an update on the fatalities. A hundred have died. This is Seuta's leader saying a hundred have died in that border rush. to 5,000 still in the enclave. I mean, again, I'm seeing 5, 10,000. We'll see how these numbers all shake out. And this continues to be a real flashpoint because you have all these people in Africa, naturally, that want to get out. I mean, in Morocco, I'll just give you a little sampling of my day. You arrive at the port, and there's the opportunity to leave, and they have these buses that will take you out. And as soon as you get off the bus, you're like accosted by all these people
Starting point is 01:00:43 trying to sell you something or give you a tour or whatever. And so you tend to get back on the bus and say, I'll go take it easy today. Anyway, all of these people looking for some kind of better opportunity, right? And so the better opportunity for them is obviously in Spain. And Spain's like, oh my gosh, I can see it. You know, you can see the Rock of Gibraltar right from here. So it's like, hey, maybe I just get in one of those little speedboats and I take off and I try to get myself to Spain. Why not? I mean, little Pedrizo Sanchez, he says no harm, no foul, no crime here. You can come to Spain. We will not make this a criminal event. This is just, you know, white-collar crime of some sort.
Starting point is 01:01:24 So they are incentivized to go there, and that's what they're doing. And you know what? This is what I'm talking about. So I went looking for this. I did. I promise you, in the Marbea Coast area on the Andalusian Coast. I didn't see any of this. But like I said, I think my spot. was a little too fancy for this kind of thing.
Starting point is 01:01:43 You have to kind of really probably go to a more desolate area. But this is what's been happening. And so naturally, you've got the Italians that are like, whoa, not coming into Italy. And even the French, they're laying down the law there too. A lot of people are saying enough is enough is enough. And so this actually could result in a destruction of the EU as we know it, right? As we know it. when you see that you've got these thousands of people that are now in Spain with an opportunity
Starting point is 01:02:15 to possibly go to the rest of Europe, the rest of Europe doesn't want them. And it's interesting how they're finally willing to say that. I mean, they're finally willing. Think about that EU meeting that I showed you the parliament meeting a couple of weeks ago. And it was amazing because for the first time they voted to criminalize coming to the EU illegally. That was a huge hurdle for them to cross. And now they're coming out and they're saying, Spain, enough is enough. And now Spain is mad. So Spain, again, this just broke within the last two hours,
Starting point is 01:02:49 is saying, hey, you know what? Any Italian that's coming into Italian territory, rather Spanish territory, we are going to make you, you know, go in the same line with the Americans. You can join me. And we're in the hot, sweaty airport where they have no air conditioning.
Starting point is 01:03:09 They really don't. You're like, are you kidding me? And now I have to stay in this big long line, well, all the Italians can come join the Americans now in that line. Look, Spain is up against a lot of problems. I don't see little Pedrozzo Sanchez being able to survive this one. I think he's really going to face the music at some point or another. Already you're seeing in the polls, a big surge in the right in Spain, kind of like you're seeing in Germany, kind of like you're seeing in France, kind of like you're seen in Italy. I mean, you name it, right? Because people have had it. It's like enough is enough is enough. And this has been going on for the last 10 years. But it really became acutely more of a
Starting point is 01:03:48 problem after 2020. And it's just reached a tipping point, I think. And I think you're going to see a lot of change in Europe as a result. And it's probably important that that happened at this point in time because they were just all rolling over and playing dead. And they didn't want to contribute to NATO. Well, now they're going to have to contribute to NATO. Wall Street Journal out with a big piece today saying they wouldn't be surprised. Our intelligence committee, various committees, would not be surprised if Putin does actually try to strike NATO territory sometime within the next couple of years. Everybody always thought that was off limits.
Starting point is 01:04:23 Maybe it's not off limits anymore. But does that have to be our problem? I mean, when we can't even get to our bases in Rotta and Moron in Spain? I mean, and I'm not even talking about Italy right now. I'm not too happy with her either. But Spain is a real issue. And they're going to have to find a way to fix this or just cut them off. I mean, just to heck with Spain. You want to go hang out with Iran? Go hang out with Iran. Maybe they'll give you cheap energy. You might have to pay a few bucks in sanction costs first.
