Starting point is 00:00:01 Ilhan Omar is having a really bad week, month, year, oh, you name it. I mean, she didn't want Donald Trump coming into office for a variety of reasons, but this is especially tricky for her because, you see, we just apprehended one of the lead Somalia fraudsters over in Somalia. He is, as we speak, right here, right now back in the United States of America, and this is not good news for Ilhan Omar, it turns out, he's got a whole bunch of emails that we want to basically show everyone. And those emails reportedly have Ilhan Omar and Ilhan Omar's office all over them.
Starting point is 00:00:45 I'm talking about this guy. Oh, gosh, Abde-Kirm, Abdelahi, Idley, we'll go with Idley as his last name. Here's the guy that was just charged, okay? Well, he's been charged. He's just been extradited from Somalia back to the United States of America. On a variety of things, conspiracy to commit wire fraud, wire fraud, conspiracy to commit federal programs bribery, federal programs bribery, you name it, money laundering. He's bad news, but we got him now.
Starting point is 00:01:18 And the expectation is the paper trail may lead us to a few other people, possibly, including one Ms. Ilhan Omar, representative from Minnesota, the ringleader. Oh, well, I should say, the congressperson that introduced the legislation for these various ringleaders who defrauded American taxpayers out of $250 million. And Omar is under scrutiny yet again over her alleged connections to Somali-based individuals arrested for fraud. The most recent individual was found in Somalia after being on the run for four years. He was allegedly a central figure in the feeding our future fraud scheme. that stole close to $300 million in COVID-19 pandemic relief programs. The suspect allegedly exchanged emails with convicted ringleader Amy Bach that had the subject line Ilhan's office.
Starting point is 00:02:14 Congresswoman Omar continues to deny all wrongdoing. I'm telling you, she's really nervous right about now. Okay, so there are apparently six emails. We're going to get into those in just a second. But just to keep you up to speed, you know, I haven't seen a lot of coverage. Fox did a little reporting on, just a little doodad right there. And, well, Al Jazeera's been all over it because I guess they want to prop up Somali Intel. Oh, Somali government, the Somali Intel folks, whatever intel they have over there, they helped us.
Starting point is 00:02:41 Okay, so not to take anything away from them, that's great. They helped us. I guess they had to help us, right? Because, well, again, being the world's hegemonic currency and all, but I digress. Somalia apparently cooperated on this one, the alleged fraudster, and he was like number two in the whole shebang. it was Amy Bach and then this guy and he had all the access to all the Somalians. Well, he was hiding out for the last several years in Somalia trying to avoid detection because, you know, we were on to him. It says neither U.S. nor Somali officials have disclosed how Idlay was located.
Starting point is 00:03:14 However, the Department of Justice said his arrest was the result of cooperation between the FBI and Somalia's national intelligence and security agency. Prosecutors describe Idley as the alleged second in command. we told you about that, behind Amy Bach, the convicted mastermind in the scheme built around feeding our future of Minnesota nonprofit that channeled federal money meant to feed needy children during the pandemic. And of course, Ilhan was the one who introduced all of this legislation. By the way, she's continuing to introduce legislation to help restaurant owners who want to say work with mentally disadvantaged people out there in some way. I don't think any of that's really going I think about the nerve of her trying to do that after we found out what really went down here.
Starting point is 00:03:59 One of the things I found fascinating, and this is important when you think about Ilhan Omar's business that her husband had, and you think about how he was allegedly raking in all kinds of money to the tune of a net worth worth somewhere around $30 million only to, well, have people ask questions, and then he suddenly amended it to, what, $97,000? You tell me how that works. Anyway, this is important because if you read this here, you see that, yes, 47, I think like somewhere around 79 people have now been charged, a whole bunch of guilty pleas here. It's the largest pandemic relief fraud ever that's been prosecuted here. Well, this guy, he fled to Somalia, right? As soon as things started getting a little bit hairy, according to prosecutors, Idla recruited operators into the scheme and collected bribes and kickbacks, which he disguised as consulting fees.
Starting point is 00:04:52 and funneled them through shell companies. He's accused of setting up his own meal sites under the names of stand-in owners, falsely claiming that they were serving thousands of children a day and inventing, oh, this is great, supplier firms to bill the government for food never delivered. So it's all a big giant sham, it's all totally fake, and it was all introduced by Ilhan Omar,
Starting point is 00:05:17 who wanted to ease up on all the rules and all the sort of documentation that would go into any of this, which is kind of interesting. Again, in light of the hubby's consulting firm. So this guy is taking a cut, right? You want to be involved in feeding our future? Okay, come see this guy who's then going to go to Ilhan Omar's office per these six emails? I mean, this is not good.
Starting point is 00:05:41 Again, just to kind of bring you up to speed here, $250 million was stolen. The Minnesota representative Ilhan Omar, who represented this very large group of Somalis, all of whom have been, well, many of whom, I should say, somewhere around 80, had been convicted in all of this, and, you know, they just happen to all be majority of Somali descent. This guy was the Somali ringleader, number two in the operation alongside Amy Bok. And he took off, he fled for Somalia. But now our FBI, together with our DOJ and apparently whatever they have for Somali intelligence over there, they have just brought this guy in.
Starting point is 00:06:18 And this now means we get access to his emails. I'm told there are roughly six emails that all are connected to Ilhan Omar. Let's go to the Fox 9 Minneapolis reporting on this. They've been doing a great job. This is a local TV station out in Minneapolis. Listen to this. Those charges say Eidlo was a feeding our future employee who was responsible for recruiting and supporting child nutrition program sites under feeding our future sponsorship.
Starting point is 00:06:46 He allegedly deposited more than $5 million in kickbacks, bribes, and other fraud proceeds into accounts associated with shell companies. Eidley was among the four dozen suspects accused in the initial round of indictments. That number has grown to a total of 79 people charged. Most of them have since pleaded guilty while some cases are playing out in court. The DOJ says a total of 65 have been convicted, including Amy Bach. She was sentenced last month to more than 41 years in prison. Hmm.
Starting point is 00:07:19 Oopsie Daisy. if you don't want to cover me up. Granted, he's quite something to look at. But we'll put us both on the screen. How do you like that? Okay, here's this guy. He's Idalay, however you say his name. I mean, clearly a lot of Somalians involved in that, right? Just look at the list. Anyway, he is the guy that now they have the emails from. Now, why are these relevant? Because apparently her name is all over these things. Ilhan Omar's name, this is New York Post reporting from last month, saying that her name came up six times, six times in these emails. And apparently there's text messages as well.
Starting point is 00:07:56 So there were like six emails with Amy Bach that somehow never made their way out into the public. This was part of the evidence. But that's expected to change. And the reason that they never made their way out before was because they were looking for this guy. And this guy, they want to bring in and haul in for questioning. And that was sort of like the big cahuna. They wanted to preserve the evidence so that they could get this. this guy in there. So I'm just telling you know, I know it's easy to get frustrated and believe me
Starting point is 00:08:24 I've been there. Trust me, you've seen it. You've seen the outbursts, you know, especially Pam Bondi. I was getting really sick and tired of her. Well, I still have faith in this one because I feel, I say this is a financial reporter. I feel like you have the forensics there. You can, you can basically go from A to B to C to D. And what we want to see are the emails and the texts with Ilhan Omar's office coming from this guy. Because again, he's the conduit to all of the Somalis in that community. So it's really, really important what we see from him. So we know that her name is in there, and that's what's going to come up now.
Starting point is 00:09:04 So this could be the smoking gun. I mean, I don't want to get anybody too excited here, but this could be the smoking gun, so to speak, that we've been looking for. The Congresswoman's Meals Act, the New York Post wrote at that time, actually loosened oversight of federally funded food programs during the pandemic, which critics said paved the way for feeding our futures fake claims and inflated reimbursements. Don't forget, that guy had all kinds of alleged food sites or restaurants that were just made up, that were, you know, giving this food to all these thousands of kids.
Starting point is 00:09:37 And then he also had all these apparent suppliers to those restaurants. So like he had it on all ends, right? And he somehow pocketed like $5 million at least himself. They believe a lot of people were making a whole lot of money on this, including her former campaign staffer. That's concerning. And now this guy, who we think was a big conduit in the community, and we also know the guy that had the restaurant where she held her victory party,
Starting point is 00:10:09 he was one of the guys who pled guilty to all this as well too. So this is not looking good for her. One of the things I want to call attention to is the fact, that you had all these fake claims and inflated reimbursements coming about why? Because there was no oversight. They just kept handing out money. And guess who was the one who wanted them to just keep out handing out money? Ilhan. Hey, y'all, it's Kelly Clarkson with Wayfair. Ever order furniture online and wonder, what if? Like, what if it doesn't hold up? That sofa was four days old.
Starting point is 00:10:41 You should have ordered from Wayfair. With Wayfair, there's no what if. Just style you love and quality you can trust. it wayfair.ca. Wayfair, every style, every home. You don't think she had a little vested interest in that? She didn't want any parameters. She was the one who pushed via her legislation to have no oversight and yet she had the gall to go on CNN and talk to this guy should have challenged her.
Starting point is 00:11:08 They never challenge her, right? They're so afraid of being called a racist that they never ever challenge her. I mean, if you're Jake Tapper, okay, I'm going to show you a thing. clip from CNN. And you know that it was her legislation that got rid of all the guardrails on this stuff. You think you're going to sit there and look pretty when she says this? Can you shed any light on why the fraud got so out of control in Minnesota? I think what happened is that, you know, when you have these kind of new programs that are designed to help people, you're oftentimes relying on third party.
Starting point is 00:11:45 to be able to facilitate. And I just think that a lot of the COVID programs that were set up, they were set up so quickly that a lot of the guardrails did not get created. Hello, lady, it was you who didn't want the guardrails. Okay, that's what the reporter forgot to ask about. Again, New York Post, May, the Congresswoman's Meals Act loosened oversight of federally funded food programs. Why said they could steal, okay?
Starting point is 00:12:15 that's what it was about, so they could steal. Now we just have to prove out that she knew they were stealing and that possibly, allegedly, she may have been stealing too. Right? I mean, that's what Steve Forbes is telling us recently. This is, I don't entirely know how you explain it any other way unless she's just so freaking stupid. She is going to claim her innocence due to total stupidity and low IQ,
Starting point is 00:12:43 which is not entirely out of line as the president. Democrats. I call them the Democrats. The Democrats. When I watched that where one of them thought it was World War 11. She said, World War 11. She bet World War II. You know about that, but this is one of their potential leaders.
Starting point is 00:13:03 Elon Omar, who married her brother to get into the country, by the way, illegally. So he doesn't think she's that bright. You know what, he wasn't kidding when he mentioned that about World War 11 and just because we can all use a good laugh around this time of day? The last time the Alien Enemies Act was invoked. It was used to detain and deport German, Japanese, Italian immigrants doing World War 11. Wow, she's really dumb. Okay, so maybe that, you know, I didn't know defense. is not as implausible as one might think if in fact it comes to that.
Starting point is 00:13:48 I think that these emails are going to be super interesting to look at. We're going to get to that and how it relates to the money in just a second. But did I ever tell you that when I was a little kid, like around 10, 11 years old, I took an acting class. I did. I took an acting class. And in this acting class, they had me doing, kid you not, a hair commercial. I'm laughing because I'm about to give you a hair commercial.
Starting point is 00:14:10 Actually, this is a wonderful company, though. and I actually love everything that they send me this stuff. This is the perk, right, of having a job like this. I get all these awesome products. And this is a company called One Skin, and I'm telling you their moisturizing lotion is insane, and it's awesome. And they've got all this proprietary, scientific stuff that goes into it,
Starting point is 00:14:26 but I'm just going to tell you in the here and now. I have tried every moisturizing lotion in the world. Like, they send me a lot, but, you know, I'm a girl who cares about these things. So I've tried everything. And this stuff is phenomenal. Kid you not, but I'm not here to talk about that. I'm here to talk about hair, because they actually have a new product and I tried it for my hair and I'm like, this stuff is amazing.
Starting point is 00:14:45 Amazing. I like my hair. And I like the way it looks because much like the moisturizing lotion, right, that just kind of seeps into your skin and doesn't like sit on the top. The guys probably don't know what I'm talking about, but any girls out there, I'm telling you, well, guys, if you like moisturized, you know, guys should wear a moisturizing lotion too. But for the girls, like, we're used to sometimes these moisturizers that sit on top and they mess up your makeup and this stuff just goes deep and it penetrates into your skin. And that to me is the mark of a very, very special product. So when they said they had hair, I'm like, okay, okay, can I get some of that too? And the great stuff about their hair product is that it really helps to strengthen your hair as you age. And that's kind of cool,
Starting point is 00:15:26 right? Because, you know, there's just the realities of stress. There's the reality of just getting older. And all of us, you know, worry about things like hair loss. And that happens, you know, to both men and women. And what this company has is they have a daily serum that's powered by their proprietary OS01 peptide. And it actually works on your scalp right where the hair health begins to nourish it from the root. And then your hair looks and feels better over time. One of the things I like is just, you know, when I shampoo my hair with this and I put this on, it feels light and bouncy and all of those things. So it's one of the reasons I especially like this product. But just to give you some numbers within six months. People saw 43% increase in hair thickness of 40% increase in
Starting point is 00:16:11 hair density in addition to less visible hair shedding. And in just three months, 75% of customers saw visible new hair growth. So that's pretty darn special. It's 10 years of longevity research that's gone into one skids OS01 peptide. It's engineered to support your hair to look visibly fuller, visibly thicker at any age for a limited time.

Starting point is 00:16:50 It helps me for sure. Please support the show. Make sure you tell them that I sent you over there. Thank you so much. Okay, back to Ilhano. Does she have hair? Serious question. I wonder what it looks like.
Starting point is 00:17:07 You know, we've never seen it because it's always done up in that special scarf she wears. Anyway, you know, Ilhan, this might work for you too. Anyway, I'm just having too much fun with it. Anyway, Ilhan Omar's own finances are super sus. Okay, we all know that. We've discussed that at length. I mean, you don't come out with three different sets of records and think that, you don't come out with three sets of different records and not think that we're not on to you somehow,
Starting point is 00:17:35 some way, this was the original one. The original one, right? We're just telling us she's worth up to five million with that winery, the winery that has no wine, up to 25 million, with the consulting company that really just strikes me as a lobbying firm, which is why I get back to this idea, if this guy that they just apprehended in Somalia, okay, he's a bad dude, he's been apprehended, and I'm kind of wondering if he, who, you know, allegedly was on the take. Let's be quite fair in what we're delivering allegedly. I think it's a little more than allegedly. But, you know, he'll have his day in court. Anyway, he is apparently taking all this money in somewhere around $5 million they've estimated. I wouldn't be surprised if it's more. And he's doing
Starting point is 00:18:23 so under the guise of various consulting firms, etc. All while Ilhan's hubby, Timmy Minet, the guy who was running all the cannabis companies that kept, you know, winding up in trouble. And he and his partner kept getting accused of fraud by their investors. And then they would get into these legal issues and they'd say, we want our money back. And they'd say we don't have it. And one of the reasons in one particular case, and I credit the Washington Free Beacon with this reporting, as they found it, apparently in one of the lawsuits, the guy who's her husband's business partner will Haler is his name. He said, well, actually, we can't return anything to you because all of it is being frozen by the Office of Foreign Assets Control under Joe Biden's Treasury. So you've got the
Starting point is 00:19:15 arm of the Treasury Department that's out there investigating terrorist financing, freezing her hobby's business assets. And this is Biden's Treasury Department, not Trump. So, whoa, I mean, if that's not a smoking gun, I don't know what is. Anyway, they said that they felt that there was some danger here in some way, shape or form because she had, according to the DOJ, a little too many interactions with a, quote, foreign national. We've talked about that before, and I suspect that could have been related to the guy as the president of Somalia who came to Minneapolis and was campaigning on her behalf, telling all the Somalis, you know, a vote for Ilhan is so important because she doesn't care about Ilhan. She doesn't care about the United States of America. She doesn't
Starting point is 00:19:59 care about Minneapolis, she only cares about Somalia. So maybe is it, you know, like if you're going to justify this in your head, okay, we're going to steal $250 million, assuming that she was trying to justify it. We're going to steal it and it's all okay because somehow it's going to wind up back in the hands of Somalis and Somalia. I wonder, I mean, because I try and understand the rationale of anybody would be involved in any of this. And then why isn't she doing more to actually come forward and say, hey, look at all of my emails, look at everything I got. I want to come clean. She hasn't done that at all. In fact, she has been stonewalling. And that's a whole problem, too. So, you know, they apparently, according to he and his account, and there's some kind of email
Starting point is 00:20:46 trail that was going back and forth. And the Wall Street Journal found this one. They claimed he had 7.9 million in assets at Rose Lake Capitol. That It was the private venture capital firm that he and the other guy who was like getting their accounts frozen by treasury for suspected terrorist financing. You can't make it up. They were claiming that they had $7.9 million. What? What?
Starting point is 00:21:16 And that the thing was worth $20,000, forgive me, $25 million. And the winery was, you know, nearly five. I mean, this is bonkers. So she's out there paving the way for less regulation, less oversight so that the kids can get their food, right? And the Somalis can get their money. According to prosecutors, this guy that we just apprehended in Somalia number two in the whole shebang, he was disguising the money that he was getting through consulting fees. According to prosecutors,
Starting point is 00:21:54 Edley recruited operators into the scheme and collected bribes and kickbacks, often disguised as consulting fees and funneled through shell companies. This is the story, as I told you, just out in Al Jazeera. He is accused of setting up his own meal site under the names of stand-in owners, falsely claiming they were serving thousands of children a day
Starting point is 00:22:15 and inventing supplier firms to build a government for food that was never delivered. but I'm struck by that consulting fee thing and funneling it all through shell companies. You see, this is what we're getting into, of course, with Ilhan Omar, Ilhan Omar and her third set of financial records because now she's trying to get us to believe. By the way, not the first, not the second, but the third. Like this has never happened before, ever. Like you've never had somebody come out and say, gee, I think I'm worth 30 million.
Starting point is 00:22:46 And then say, oh, oopsie, Daisy, I'm now worth 97,000. That's never actually happened. So I don't think you can blame this all in the account. I really don't. Like, how would she have signed off on that? You don't think you're going to ask your husband, gee, honey, oh, you know, we're worth 30 mil? Oh, boy, oh boy, was I smart to marry you, right?
Starting point is 00:23:07 I know. I mean, part of that was, I suspect, her willingness to give him a big pay raise when he worked for her as her campaign manager because you see, when he was just the BF, he was making $800,000, which is a heck of a lot for a campaign manager for a little campaign out in Minneapolis. Yeah, that was a big amount of money. And then she paid him nearly $3 million.
Starting point is 00:23:32 You realize if you pay into the pot for Ilhan's campaign, and she's paying her campaign manager, her hubby, nearly $3 million, then you're just paying Ilhan. But maybe you're paying Ilhan because you want to be part of feeding our future so that you can make a few cool million bucks on the side too, like all your other Somali friends out there in Minneapolis. Hmm. So now we're supposed to believe he only raked in 200 bucks last year? What, does he go quiet in between campaigns, Ilhan?
Starting point is 00:24:06 Is he off the books in between? Whoa. It's just bonkers. And I don't believe any of it. And neither does Comer and neither does the vice president. or Stephen Miller, they're investigating this and I can guarantee you. You know what? Our Treasury Secretary, he was not born yesterday.
Starting point is 00:24:25 Scott Besson is all over this too. And I bet you anything the IRS is, they can't tell us. But one day you're going to wake up. And we're going to be here and it's going to be lights out for Ilhan Omar. I suspect because I just don't think this is clean. Okay? I don't know. Again, and it's until proven guilty.
Starting point is 00:24:44 But this does not feel clean, ladies and gentlemen. No way. know-how. Let's go back over to Comer. He said this about last week, I think, on Fox. 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 congressman from Minnesota, that she was getting federal money and feeding it into these corrupt Somali net? networks, her cronies?
Starting point is 00:25:19 I think one of the projects she requested was a proved to be a fraudulent Somali scheme. Yeah. So the question is how many more were there that maybe we don't even know about yet? See, this is why it's so important to get these financial records. It is so important to get the emails. And again, remember, Amy Bach, some of that came out in the trial. It actually didn't come out for, it was part of the evidence and part of the exhibition. We didn't get to see it.
Starting point is 00:25:55 And the reason we didn't get to see it was because they were still looking for this guy. Well, this guy is now in custody. This guy has now been found. So now we're going to probably, next stage here, he's going to get his day in court and all of that's going to come out. And what I want to know, this episode is brought to you by Activia. You might already be eating yogurt, but not all yogurts are. are created equal. Activia contains over one billion probiotics per serving to survive and reach the gut alive.

Visitactivia.ca for more details. Is whether Ilhan was full on signing off on fraud. And then I want to know, was she getting paid? to sign off on fraud through consulting fees with her husband's quote-unquote venture capital firm,
Starting point is 00:27:02 which lied right on its website claiming they did somewhere around 60, somewhat, billion dollars in deals. No way, no how. Lie number one. They said they operated in 81 different countries. That may not be a lie. Maybe they really were operating in 81 different countries. Really, it was Ilhan Omar on the Foreign Relations Committee. Foreign Affairs Committee, forgive me, for hire.
Starting point is 00:27:27 You know, there's a lot of bad actors in politics, a lot of bad, bad people that get into it for the wrong reasons. And it's all coming out. I mean, the squad itself is a sham, if you ask me. AOC is now being exposed as the actress bartender. She really is. Elon Musk has decided to take this one on, guys. He's calling her out saying, you know, she's nothing but an actress.
Starting point is 00:27:58 He put this out on Twitter today. She is just an actor. AOC, he writes, is just an actor. It's her puppet masters that are the problem. She is spouting insane lies that are disprovable by a Google search. But a lot of people will believe her. So he basically sent out a post that a, an account called Wall Street Apes on Twitter. up some really interesting stuff, put out saying she's an actress. Okay, she's an actress. And this
Starting point is 00:28:28 has kind of been known for a while. I mean, the Justice Democrats, they went out and like handpicked her. They found AOC. They had like an open casting call with 10,000 people who all wanted to be politicians and justice Democrats was going to back you. And then they like went through and did all these interviews with all these people and they vetted all these people to figure out who would be their candidate. They wound up with Sandy. Yeah, from Greece. The failed bartender, a failed actress who suddenly turned into a superstar. Are we to believe that?
Starting point is 00:29:02 I mean, does she really care about any of this stuff, or is she just chosen to care? Alexandra Rojas, who runs Justice Democrats or did when they were looking for a candidate, explained it all quite well. I mean, in her own words, they are proud of this, guys. They are very, very proud, all right? Like, we're not showing anything that we shouldn't be showing. They put this up on YouTube. They are proud to tell you how they hand-selected AOC and crafted and helped engineer her entire campaign.
Starting point is 00:29:38 Back in 2016, we put out a call for nominations, trying to capture the diversity of background, of experience of the American electorate, the people that aren't currently represented in office. We got over 10,000 nominations. Out of those 10,000 nominations, we found Alexandria. It's a lot of people. I mean, do they have that big an open casting call for, I don't know, when little Rachel Zegler from New Jersey got to be in West Side Story,
Starting point is 00:30:11 they had an open casting call, I think, and she had played it in her high school production. Do you think they had 10,000 Maria's show up? I don't think so. So this was a big deal, right? So they really picked this with some kind of deliberate precision, which frankly, I think, should make us all a little bit teeny-winty bit nervous. Because if they do that with her, are they doing this with everyone? Is this what the total left-wing China-sponsored communists are actually out there doing?
Starting point is 00:30:43 We saw these signs of someone who's willing to sacrifice their own future for the good of We would call people up and kind of walk them to the platform. We would try to call up folks that were like doing all kinds of amazing stuff, right? Every conversation would have a very awkward pitch at the end because we'd like talk to him about like, oh, it's so great, you're like saving lives, you're fixing stuff in your community. And so do you want to run for Congress maybe? Hmm. So that's the guy who's the number two at Justice Democrats.
Starting point is 00:31:13 Just think about this. So they really put a lot of effort into picking their candidate. picking their candidate with an open casting call, and AOC herself admits that her brother signed her up for this gig. He's the one that filled out the paperwork, you know, maybe set in the 8x10 glossy headshot too, actress that she is. My brother told me that he had sent my nomination in the summer, but I was like literally working out of a restaurant,
Starting point is 00:31:40 and I was like, there's no way. Her profile is not what you'd think of as someone who should run for office. this, right? Definitely not. No, definitely not. In fact, I would actually say that maybe she should have stayed bartending. But she came in, she went in with a very different perspective, a very savvy social media perspective, but then again, she's backed by Justice Democrats who went at this completely
Starting point is 00:32:10 differently, right? And they're proud of that. And, you know, fine, there's something to be said for that, but let's not forget. You know, this is a pact that's fed in part through Act Blue donations. They, you know, as far as I know, they don't have any direct China money, but I'd be curious to know a little bit more about that in light of who they support and who they're willing to endorse. I mean, they love the Mamdami candidates who are all a bunch of crazies, for goodness sakes,
Starting point is 00:32:43 and total left-wing lunatic commies who basically want to do. destroy, absolutely destroy this country. Well, it's not going to happen so long as Donald Trump is there. Let's go to Donald Trump speaking yesterday about the nut jobs, the commies that are trying to threaten this nation. What is the biggest threat to this country at 250 years? He outlines it quite well. Zaharman Doni said in an interview this week that he was open to being the poster child
Starting point is 00:33:11 for socialist candidates. Are you worried about more socialist candidates across the United States? It's a big threat to our nation, actually. Because it's not socialism, it's really communism. They use the word social democrat because it sounds so nice, but it's really communism you're talking about. I think it's the biggest threat to our nation. There is, maybe since our founding.
Starting point is 00:33:33 That includes World War I, World War I, World War II, September 11th. It includes the Pearl Harbor attack. I think this is the biggest threat to our nation. will smile when I say that, but the smart people are going to say, you know, he's probably right. It's basically introducing communism into the United States of America. There's never been anything so dangerous. Yeah, it is dangerous. It is very, very dangerous. I agree with that, because do not forget, how do we get to the place that we're at? Because, oh, I don't know, things like the Constitution, which recognize property law. I mean, you didn't have that back in Europe in the day.
Starting point is 00:34:16 You know, you had to be like a nobleman in order to own anything. And we said to heck with that. Everybody has a shot because we're going to develop a government that protects property. And if you don't protect property, which is exactly what happens in a communist regime, then you all goes out the window and you lose. You lose your fabric of society to eventually descends into total chaos, which is one of the reasons why communism headline, ladies and gentlemen, has never worked. and will never work.
Starting point is 00:34:49 A lot of greedy people, and believe me, there are greedy people. We were just talking about them out there in Somalia. Oh, forgive me, Minneapolis, by way of Somalia. Greedy people willing to take your money and justify it. That is what happens in communist regimes. Don't take my word for it. Read a U.S. history book, which apparently these idiots failed to do. I mean, our goal is liberation.
Starting point is 00:35:13 Our goal is communism. You heard them. Okay, let it sink in. Our goal is liberation. Our goal is communism. How is liberation and communism something you would ever use in this same Senate? They have some romantic idea of what communism is, failing to acknowledge the bloodshed, the inequity, and the eventual, I don't know, disintegration of an entire society.
Starting point is 00:35:55 because, hey, newsflash, you're going to get up and go to work every day, right? To take care of yourself and to take care of your family. But are you going to go to work? To take care of Mamdami's family? Or AOC's family? Donald Trump's family? It doesn't need to be political. Anyone's family.
Starting point is 00:36:18 No, you're not going to. So guess what? Therein lies your problem. you cannot harness the ingenuity and creativity and work ethic of an individual when you are in a communist system. It's not hard. But these morons, and they are moronic, moronic people that do not understand history. I say this is an American history major.
Starting point is 00:36:42 This was my specialty. And you know what my specialty was colonial history. So this is a special year, right? A very, very special year. for me, but for all of us. I mean, this is a big, big, big birthday that we got going on. I mean, wow, 250 years. And what's threatening it?
Starting point is 00:37:03 They're threatening it, okay? This insanity. And I don't think it's just them. I think it's actually the world at large, because you have bad actors, whether it be Iran, whether it be China, they want to influence in really negative ways. I mean, one of the most important things Trump could do with, TikTok was to get that under our wing, right? Because what were they, they were spreading all kinds of nonsense and getting everybody all jazzed up about really bad ways. So I think that there's
Starting point is 00:37:34 a better solution to all of this, for sure. For starters, you know what would be nice if young people and old people alike would look at that constitution. And more importantly, perhaps, as we come up on July 4th, look at the Declaration of Independence. Go read it, okay, read it, and understand it and absorb it and feel it, right? Like, talk about it. Talk about it with your friends and family. I'm going to give you a link where you can do that right now. A250 Toolkit.com forward slash Trish.
Starting point is 00:38:04 Go there. They have the declaration right there for you. Go there. Read it. Sign it. Sign the Declaration of Independence. I did an event. This is my friends at Americans for Prosperity.
Starting point is 00:38:15 And I was speaking recently. and at one of their events down south, I brought my little boy, who's not so little anymore, he's growing. Anyway, we went down there, and he went and he signed a replica of the Declaration of Independence, and he was so excited. They gave him a big pen with a feather and everything, and he was just so, so excited. It meant the world to him.
Starting point is 00:38:38 But, you know, you've got to teach this, and you've got to teach the importance of our foundation, because otherwise we're leaving it to the crazies, okay? And I mean that total crazies that want to take us in a communist, direction. So go check this out. A250 Toolkit.com. This is a part of my, my wonderful partnership with Americans for Prosperity. Think about what matters at this time of year for this great, great nation. Oh, we haven't even gotten to basketball. What is going on in basketball? We're talking about Supergirl yesterday. One of you guys I saw in the comments, you're like, hey, you just get Sophie
Starting point is 00:39:11 Cunningham to play Supergirl. You got yourself a movie. Yes, sir, I buy that. Sophie Cunningham is a total superstar. This is the woman that immediately comes to Caitlin Clark's defense. But nobody else is willing to. The refs aren't. The WMBA certainly isn't. But Sophie Cunningham is and she can do it with just a look and to point. Way to go. Basketball. It's changing. Just a look, right? Just a look. Look at that. This picture I have. If you're listening on audio on Apple Podcasts or on Spotify, audio only, thank you. You can actually watch the video on Spotify as well. Some of you guys know that. I think think I put the link actually in the show notes. So go check that out for Spotify. Look at that
Starting point is 00:39:52 picture that we are seeing. This is Alyssa Thomas who had already fouled Caitlin Clark. And then she goes down with her fist on her throat. I mean, that is one ugly sight. And this is one ugly woman, okay? One ugly woman. And I'm not talking about the outside. I'm talking about the inside. Anybody that would do that to another player in the league. I'm sorry. But that is a big no-no. And what did they do? They gave her a thousand buck fine and they told her she had to sit out one game. Are you kidding me? That's it.
Starting point is 00:40:27 Nothing else? Well, what kind of messages that send all the others to Angie Reese and a Kennedy lady, right? Like what is it sending in terms of a signal to them? It is telling, you know what it's telling them guys? It's telling them you can go ahead and do this all you want. you can attack Caitlin Clark all you want. We understand you're jealous. We know you don't like Caitlin Clark because I'm sorry. Candy Carter, she's better than you. Angie Reese, whatever your name is, she's better than you. She just is. I mean, all of these people taking these cheap shots,
Starting point is 00:41:00 and you better believe they're cheap shots, right? You know, she goes in for a jump shot and they're trying to poke her in the eyes or when she's already down this woman, Alyssa decides that's when she's going to go in and put her fist on her throat. I mean, these people are bad, bad news. So why doesn't management do anything about it? The inmates are running the asylum? Apparently, and if you ask Sophie Cunningham, that's her complaint. She just went nuclear. And I'm telling you nuclear, and she had good reason to do that because this is what she saw. Let's go to the now infamous clip, okay? Oops, have we got it here? There we go. Okay, I'm going to show you this. It's up on Twitter and take a look here.
Starting point is 00:41:46 I mean, Kinglin. To the ground. Whoa. Whoa. That's a. Whoa. Okay. Like, come on. Like, she's already down. And then look it. She's already down. And then she takes this opportunity thinking nobody is going to notice. Nobody's going to see. And here's what she knows now. Nobody's going to care.
Starting point is 00:42:08 They're not going to do squat. You can assault a player because you're jealous of her, because she's making more money, because she's getting more attention, because she's prettier, all of those things, because she's got a wow factor and can hit those three pointers from Timbuktu, and you can't. Well, guess what? Your sport is now on the map. Little girls actually want to watch basketball. Not me, but, okay? Not me. But still, I'm saying, and I'm not little, but plenty of girls now, are actually caring about basketball because you have a player who resonates because she's so freaking good, better than all of you. And what happens? The league allows this. Well, Sophie,
Starting point is 00:42:53 who's darn good. And yes, super pretty, right? That's why she would have actually scored a number in Supergirl. You know, maybe you can get her into acting. She does have a podcast and she went out, and she just railed against the WNBA chief, a former Deloitteant and Tate accountant who then became CEO of Deloitte and Touche for about four years and now finds herself running crazy town WNBA and unwilling to stand up for anyone. This type of thing happens every single game to her and the league and the refs do absolutely nothing about it. They are definitely targeting her and the league and the refs do nothing to protect her.
Starting point is 00:43:35 So here's the thing. I think you need new refs and I think you need a new head of the league. I would get rid of Kathy Engelbert today, okay? Adam Silver, now that you have any backbone over at the WNBA, oh, sorry, the NBA. Maybe you could take over the WNBA. He'd be terrible too, right? The whole lot of them. He was down on his knees with China a couple of years ago. You remember that one? Well, he's apparently Kathy's boss. Kathy is just kind of trying to. to take all the credit herself saying she built this league. No lady, you didn't build it. You know who built it? Caitlin Clark. So Sophie's like, I think she's jealous of Caitlin. Sophie, I think you might be right.
Starting point is 00:44:26 I think they need to fire Kathy Englebert and get someone in there who knows how to actually make everybody a bigger star, but that starts by getting rid of the riffraff. And the riffraff are people like this that do heinous things because they're jealous of Caitlin Clark. It's really pretty freaking disgusting, okay? There's the New Englander coming out on me. We were watching the soundbite from the woman in Maine, and she kept saying, I was laughing so hard the other day because that is a New Englander kind of thing to say. But I'm just telling you, this is not good. Okay, this is, this is not good. I want to go to a guy who hosts a show on Outkick. He was on Laura Ingram's program last night, and he really let the league have it.
Starting point is 00:45:17 He's like, they're all so freaking scared. There you see, New England or again, of these angry black, lesbian basketball player women. And that's who runs the league. And until they're willing to stand up to this certain demo, they're going to continue to run the risk that somebody like Caitlin Clark's actually going to get really hurt. Well, there's no question. There's a racial underpinning to it. The reason the WNBA doesn't chime in is because the league is run by angry African-American lesbians. Let's just be honest, that's what the league has been. That's what the power structure has been. And Caitlin Clark is not. She is a heterosexual. People ask, well, you know, it can't be race because they accept
Starting point is 00:46:00 folks like Paige Becker's and other white lesbians. That's a big deal in the WNBA. And if anybody gets offended by what I'm saying. Go sit in the corner. Tough because that is absolute and it started the moment Caitlin Clark got into the league. WNBA doesn't do anything because they are afraid of the angry African-American lesbian woman who has dominated that league for years. And there's suggestion that the mere Sophie's pointing at the young woman who put the fist down. Her point was racist. So now you can't point when you see injustice. Only one. can point. I don't understand that. Well, like I said, that's exactly where this league is. And here comes
Starting point is 00:46:43 Caitlin Clark, right? She's got all the hype coming out of Iowa. She has a boyfriend. She's the new superstar, and there's a lot of anger with that. Yeah. And so what does good management do? They channel that. They work with it. And they make sure that they protect their star. So, Kathy, I'm sorry, but you wouldn't really have much of a league if it weren't for Caitlin Clark. So if I were you as management, I'd be working my tail off overtime to figure out how I continue to protect Caitlin Clark because she's the only one selling tickets. Well, and Sophie too, because Sophie's so darn pretty, right? And yet this woman, she clearly doesn't get it. All right. So I'm looking up whatever I can find about this woman. Yeah,
Starting point is 00:47:29 she used to be the CEO of Deloitte. Okay, fine. I come across this article in the Harvard Business Review and I'm like, man, you know, she's really working the PR. overtime. Like I can spot PR. Hello. Like this is what I've done for a zillion years. On the other side it was a journalist. I'm like, this is a PR plant in the Harvard Business Review, if I ever saw one. It's titled, the Commissioner of the WMBA on Transforming the League ahead of the breakout season. I'm like, oh, wow. Yeah, total PR plant. And it goes on, okay, by nearly every metric. 2024 was a standout year for the women's NBA. And they're talking about all these rookies they got in there. Oh, it's fantastic.
Starting point is 00:48:06 They got viewers for once. Like, they've never had viewers, okay? They've got viewers for once. Woo! I mean, up 170% from the previous season, the All-Star game brought in all-time high of $3.4 million. Tripled out of 2023's event. We saw the highest arena attendance in 22 years on and on.
Starting point is 00:48:25 Bragging, bragging, bragging, bragging, bragging, bragging, bragging, bragging, bragging, bragging, and then I realized. She wrote it. Okay. Kathy Englebert wrote her own PR release in the Harvard Business Review because she's got to her own horn and keep toot-doot-doot-dun-toot-toot-to-and. Kathy, enough, all right? Enough.
Starting point is 00:48:45 It's so gross. Like, you know, you are so gross because you're not willing to protect your players. And good management protects their, I'm going to go with the word talent. Bad management toots their own horn over and over and over again. and hiring PR people and then planting this little thing in the Harvard Business Review. You know, Harvard Business Review, they really ought to do something going back to Bud Light. I'm waiting for that story. Until they do that, I'm going to have a hard time taking them too seriously.
Starting point is 00:49:21 Anyway, Kathy is probably not the right person for that job. They probably need to get someone in there who actually will celebrate the stars. Kathy wouldn't even put, the WMBA wouldn't even put, Caitlin Clark, their biggest star on the breakout, whatever, calendar or, you know, poster board that they have this year. It's like, I'm sorry, like everybody else is in there, Angie Reeves, Paige is in there, even Sophie made it. And Sophie's looking at it saying, well, what the heck is going on?
Starting point is 00:49:57 Because the league's biggest star doesn't even get acknowledged by the league. You see, because they're all in management anyway, doing loop-de-loops to try and appease a bunch of, well, angry? This is terrible. I'm sorry. You know, I know this, I mean, it's a horrible thing. We'll go back to what the guy over on Fox was saying, but like, I'm sorry, there's a certain demo. I don't even want to say it, but just, you know, I think Michelle Obama on steroids. Michelle Obama, she were a lot taller. I mean, she's one angry woman, right? And I think Kathy's kind of afraid of these people. Don't be afraid of them.
Starting point is 00:50:39 Everybody's human being, okay? We should not be seeing color. I mean, this is not what Martha Luther King intended. And yet, apparently a group of these players only see color. They think the only reason that the league is getting attention is because Caitlin Clark happens to be white. I'm going to tell you, no. I mean, hey, LeBron James, he gets a lot of attention.
Starting point is 00:51:00 I actually read today he's going to be a free agent. and going to another team, I guess. He gets a lot of attention, right? I mean, Michael Jordan, right? They got a lot of attention. It wasn't because they were black. It was because they were good. Larry Byrd, Celtics, go Celtics, right?
Starting point is 00:51:20 He got a lot of attention because he was good. And I think about Serena Williams, Venus Williams. They got a lot of attention. Was it because they were black? because they were just good. Like, when people are good, they get attention. They kind of, you know, lifting tide. All boats go up and up.
Starting point is 00:51:42 Raises all boats. And if the league were smart and the players were smart, they would recognize that Caitlin helps them. She's not bringing them down. She's bringing them all up. And she's doing it in spite of them. And in spite of lousy management, you can't see the forest for the trees.
Starting point is 00:52:03 is so, so obsessed with her own PR trying to convince everyone that she's the reason anybody's watch. I'm sorry, honey, buddy, you are not the reason anybody's watching basketball. I just want to see the three-partners, one in if I do watch, which is not often, although I will give you this. My husband was a professional basketball player overseas. In Europe, I have to qualify it, okay? Not quite the NBA, but loved, obviously, basketball. and still loves and occasionally watches it. He used to want to puke whenever we would put on women's basketball, like, you know, like say I was home with my parents because I would never put it on,
Starting point is 00:52:42 but maybe my parents would be like sifting through the channel and women's basketball would come on and he would absolutely want to throw up and he's like, I just can't watch this. This is just absolutely awful. Well, guess who started watching women's basketball this year? I couldn't believe it. Actually, a couple of years ago when Caitlin Kark came on the scene, my husband started watching basketball. And he said to my girls, hey, come check this out, watch this player. And they watched. So I think it tells you something. You know, it shows that more people are interested and vested
Starting point is 00:53:18 in the sport because of Caitlin Clark. So lady, Kathy, Engelberg, get your head screwed on right. Embrace what you have there, okay? She may eventually be forced to. They may eventually just have to force her out. She thinks she's bigger than the player. She's not. Quick shout-up for my company 76 research.

American resilience, inflation protection, income builder, get the model portfolios today at 76, research.com.
Starting point is 00:54:08 It's really good to have you guys here. I'm looking at some funny commentary. You guys don't want to throw up when you see the WMBA too. You know, that was him, that was him. But he actually, he'll watch now with Caitlin Clark. And I think that that's such a testament to her and to the league. Anyway, good to have you here. You agree with me? Fire Kathy, right? Get new management in there.
Starting point is 00:54:29 New management and make it clear. You got to protect your start. You got to protect Caitlin Clark. Don't leave it all to Sophie for goodness sakes. I know she's tough. She's a total bad. You know what, but my gosh, she needs a little support. Okay, so come through with that.
Starting point is 00:54:44 Great to have you here. Thank you so much. Make sure to check and make sure you are still subscribed. And I'll see you right back here live on the show tomorrow.
