Welcome to the big show. Ilhan Omar could find herself being thrown out of the country sooner than she may have anticipated or expected. I mean, this thing is heating up right now in both the House and the Senate. And now the president of the United States took it on last night, courtesy of, well, Ilhan herself, who decided to make quite a spectacle there. We're going to get to all of it. Ooh, Ilhan, watch out. Plus, I want to tell you about some breaking news that is just crossing right now regarding one cash Patel and the spying. I'm just, going to use the word. They want to call it tolling, as in phone tolling when you gather the records on someone. But I just kind of see it as spying. The FBI apparently wanted all his phone records,

as they also wanted Susie Wiles' phone records under the Biden administration. Now, gee, I wonder what that would be about other than spying. This Jack Smith thing is pretty darn big and it's going to come back to haunt them. Artic Frost, Operation Arctic Frost, as it is known, all the information just coming out moments ago. Welcome to the show, everyone. This is the Trish Regan show. I'm happy to have you here. We'll get some good news on Wall Street. The market's ending the day higher. Plus, invidia out with earnings after the bell, and people love it. You got the stock backup over $200 a share, trading up about 4% in the after-hours market. I want to point out that one of the stocks that we picked in our, one of our portfolios, actually two of our portfolios there at 76 research.

I encourage you to go over to 76 and check this out. You can use my code word dollar, D-O-L-L-L-A-R to sign up for the 76 report, or take a look at those portfolios. That's a real value add. One of our stocks that we just added, and we don't add a ton. Like, we're very, you know, careful. We don't go in and out of things, but we added it about two weeks ago, and you know, it's up 35 and a half percent now. So not bad for a couple weeks' work, right?

Like I said, you know, you want to earn money the old-fashioned way. Not the way some of the fraudsters have done it. Deport her now. That is the message. The president is sending on one Ilhan. Omar, just a short time ago, he led out quite a tirade in some response to some of the stuff last night. You should be ashamed of yourself, not standing up.

They're blocking the removal of these. Yeah, they're blocking the removal of the bad people, he's pointing out, from this country. They're standing in defiance and in defense, not standing actually last night. They wanted the whole group of people there, the Democrats alongside the Republicans, to stand up in order of all these victims. But of course, they wouldn't have it. And you had Ilhan Omar, joined by her partner in crime. There one, Rashida Taleb, screaming all kinds of things at the president.

So he just came out with this one, and he said, look, when you watch low IQ Ilhan Omar and Rashida Taleb as they screamed uncontrollably last night at the very elegant state of the Union, such an important and beautiful event, they had the bulging bloodshot eyes of crazy people. lunatics, he writes in all caps, mentally deranged and sick, who frankly look like they should be institutionalized. When people can behave like that, and knowing, he said, that they are crooked and corrupt politicians, that would be in regards to the allegations against Ilhan Omar and the feeding our nation. We're going to get back to that in a second. He said, when you know that, they behave like that and knowing that they are crooked and corrupt politicians so bad for our country,

we should send them back to where they came from as fast as possible. They can only damage the United States of America, he writes, they can do nothing to help it. They should actually get on a boat with Trump deranged. Robert De Niro, another sick and demented person, I believe with an extremely low IQ who has absolutely no idea what he's doing or saying, some of which is seriously criminal. When I watched him break down in tears last night,

oh gosh, I didn't even show you guys that because it was like not worth your time. Robert De Niro crying, crying on MSNBC. When I watched him break down in tears last night, much like a child would do, I realize that he may be even sicker. Crazy Rosie O'Donnell, who is right now in Ireland trying to find out how to come back to our beautiful United States. The only difference, he said, between Dinaire and Rosie is that she is probably somewhat smarter than him, which isn't saying much. Well, that was pretty generous of him, right? And the good news is that America is now bigger, better, richer and stronger than ever before, and it's driving him absolutely. crazy. President Donald J. Trump, I'll tell you, we are bigger, better, and stronger, and

richer, importantly richer. You know, everybody's worked up about the economy. Listen, I've studied the economy forever. I have reported on the markets forever. And I'm going to remind you that things are actually pretty darn good right now. I realize, you know what, we can't go back to the days of 2016 and 2018 before Biden came in to office when we had very mild inflation under the previous Trump presidency, when you had the most middle class growth in terms of of income than you had ever seen since the days of JFK. I mean, we're getting back to that, but it doesn't feel good because Joe Biden did some serious damage, and I mean serious generational style damage, because he was just printing money

alongside his friends Chuck and Nancy. And it turns out a lot of this money went to Ilhan Omar's friends. I kid you not. I mean, that's what's so crazy about all of this. Think about that. They ran up inflation. They printed money, and they sent it all. to Ilhan Omar and her friends, I mean, the president came right on and said,

we're talking $19 billion lost in the state of Minnesota to these fraudulent programs. You're talking about $80 billion possibly out in the state of California. And Marshall Blackburn, she says it's $750 billion nationwide. So $19 billion in Minnesota, $80 billion in California. And then if you add up Maine, Ohio, and a few other places, somewhere you're going to get to around $750 billion. The GAO estimates 650 billion, but these are big numbers. They'll tell you, we're going to solve our whole budget crisis right then and there. Let's go to Ilhan Omar and her little buddy, Rashida Taleb, the squad members, heckling the president.

And he just shut them down and then some today. But watch last night. You should be ashamed of yourself, not standing up. You should be ashamed of yourself. That is why I'm also asking you to end deadly sanctuary. cities that protect the criminals and enact serious penalties for public officials who block the removal of criminal aliens. In many cases, drug lords, murderers all over our country, they're blocking the removal of these people out of our country. And you should be ashamed of

yourself. And perhaps most importantly, I'm asking you to approve the Save America Act. I'll tell you, he sure showed them, huh? He shut them down at some point. They just couldn't say anything anymore. After all, he had the microphone. He is the president of the United States. And Ilhan Omar, Rashida Tileve, and a whole bunch of others, are facing some serious allegations.

I don't know, you know, Rashida, she's got her own thing going on you. Who's the other squad member that we talked about the other day? Ayanna, Ayanna Presley, who? That's a suspicious one. I mean, she's got the hubby, right? the hubby who's like done time many years for drug trading. I mean, they really know how to pick them. And then he's suddenly making over a million bucks a year now that she's in Congress. What's that about? Is this like the lobbying job on steroids? And then you get, you know,

Timmy Minet, who's very concerned about his net worth going up, up and away. And suddenly he marries Ilhan, and they get the $250 million feeding our future or feeding our livelihoods there for Ilhan and Timmy. I mean, that is really suspicious, and a lot of people are saying a lot of things, including my friend Tom Emmer here, the Republican congressman from Minnesota. There's no way. He's saying, I mean, 3,500 percent increase in one's net worth in one year. Are you kidding me? We weren't born yesterday.

I don't know what she's doing, but I suspect that it's not legal. You don't see that kind of change. I mean, she reported on her disclosures around here about a $65,000 net worth just a couple of years back. And now, like you point out, Charlie, she's reporting it's $30 million. Look, Ilhan Omar is a hateful, racist anti-Semite who goes on national TV and plays the victim and goes to the University of Minnesota campus and essentially encourages violence on Jewish students. This needs to be investigated. She was right at the center of the Somali fraudster operation called Feeding Our Future,

the $250 million fraud case, largest pandemic fraud case in the country, those are her people and they're the ones that donated to her campaign. Yeah, okay, they're her people. Her people. They're the ones donating to her campaign. Oh, by the way, one of the biggest milkers of the system, he was the guy at the Somali restaurant that hosted her victory party. And as recently as what four or five weeks ago,

she was still trying to get another million bucks for another Somali restaurant owner who claimed he ran a mental health clinic right above the kitchen. Yeah, you can come and eat while you get better. I'm sorry. Again, we are smarter than that. They might have found a run around for a while, but it's all getting discovered.

And guess what? They are going to be facing the possibility of deportation. I want to go back to Representative Emmer, who's come out with none other than the scam act. You're listening, Ilhan, and others. 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, 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 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. Oh, so that was kind of a direct hit on one Ilhan Omar because it is suspected and believed and alleged that she might have married the brother to help get him into the country. She was married to one guy. She marries the alleged brother as it still has kids actually with the other guy, continues to have kids with the other guy. And then somehow things dissolved between herself and the alleged brother. he moves overseas after having gotten himself a handy scholarship to go to college here in the US of A and then she somehow takes up with Mr. Timmy Minette who I mean she hit the jackpot there right

this guy he's already been accused of various fraud schemes including with his cannabis company okay that says it all so I'm just saying I'm just saying Mr. Timmy Minet and Ilhan Omar match made in heaven I don't know what kind of Muslim she is I mean between the alcohol she's selling there and the cannabis she's got going on and then the third marriage. But who am I to judge? I will judge this. I will judge this if you did anything illegal. Treasury is going to find it.

He's absolutely going to find a Treasury Secretary Scott Besson, who's all over this and it has said a few harsh things along the way. I believe he's referred to some of these folks as being the kind that will rat each other out. The expression was they will turn on. on each other, he has no doubt. They will turn on each other. They're like scorpions. They're putting together big whistleblower incentives. Let's go with the word incentives, okay, because they're going to get like 30% of whatever they bring in. So, hey, you find a million bucks, you keep 300 grand. That's always going to get them to turn on each other. So the Treasury Secretary is all over

this. I realize, you know, we all have our doubts about poor Pam Bondi. We won't go there right now. We got to keep Trish-like level, okay? We had some technical issues last night on the show. If any of you caught that, oh, my goodness, I was furious. So I wished I had been there in real time for all this happening, but at least I'm here today. But we are trying to keep my temper under control. Therefore, we won't get into Pam Bondi just today.

But I am going to tell you, I got total faith in one Scott Besant. And Scott Besant is going to be the key in all of this as he goes around and finds all of this fraud. And the IRS is in there, and they're looking at all of the bank records of these fraudsters. And you know what they're going to try and figure out is whether or not, any money circled back to Ilhan Omar and Timmy Minet. You know, look, it's not just Emma over in the House of Representatives on this. It's not just the President of the United States. So that's kind of a big deal. You also have one Marsha Blackburn, my friend Marshall Blackburn, great wonderful senator from the state of Tennessee. And listen, she's on it too.

Take a peek. Tennessee Senator Marsha Blackburn has introduced this new bill. It's called the Fraud Accountability Act. What it would do is change U.S. law to allow any naturalized Americans convicted of any type of felony fraud to have their U.S. citizenship stripped away and also be deported. Now, the bill has six other Senate GOP co-sponsors, including Senators, Cotton, Corny, Haggardie, Bud, Graham, and Kramer. And Senator Blackburn explained to me why she put forward this bill. Providing this avenue so that these individuals who would come here and defraud the taxpayer are going to be removed from the country.

and do it in a more efficient and expedited way. Do you expect any Senate Democrats to support this? I would be honored to have them support it, and I think they should support it. When you look at, I mean, why would anybody be pro-fraud? But if the bill passes the Senate, it would then head over to the House, and that is where we caught up with several Democrats who, unsurprisingly, are not fans of the idea of stripping citizenship away from anyone. I think it's unconstitutional and illegal.

I wish we would just move past this stuff about trying to strip citizenship away from people. I think so long as the Republican Party and the Trump administration is using ICE to attack American citizens, I'm not willing to have a conversation with them about any other bad faith attempts to terrorize U.S. citizens. Who the hell knows? These guys wanted to denaturalize the new mayor of New York City, so I don't put any credibility in what they're saying about denaturalization. And Senator Blackburn's bill would apply to any type of felony fraud conviction, whether it's against a private person, a corporation, or the government. The bill is also retroactive covering any felony fraud convictions going all the way back to September of 1996. Wow. Okay, this kind of seems like a no-brainer.

If you come to this country and you commit fraud, then why would we still want you here? Like maybe there should be a little trial period of some sort, right? you know, a couple decades, we're going to give you a shot. And if you, if you screw up and you're trying to fraud us, taxpayers, but fraud of any kind, as Marsha has pointed out, Senator Blackburn has pointed out, is actually going to be eligible for the deportation. I would say, you know, there's a few things already on the books. If you illegally procured your citizenship, in other words, if you lied on your citizenship records in order to get your citizenship, if you misrepresented yourself or your family, if, for example, you said that you were trying to flee a war-torn Somalia,

and it just so happened that actually your family was involved in some of the problematic things that led to Somalia being in such a difficult spot, as it has been alleged about Ilhan's father and her family. Well, then guess what? That would actually mean they could get ready y'all together right here, then, and now, and you would not be eligible for citizenship. You don't even need anything in Congress to do that. So somebody's going to do some research into just exactly what her family background was.

if you procured your citizenship in some way, shape, or form, even if it was legal, and then you volunteered to say, get somebody else their citizenship under false pretenses. You can go back to the allegation of the brother thing for just a moment, then that also would disqualify you and you would lose your naturalization, your citizenship. But you know what, it doesn't even have to be your brother. Because if you actually say, we're married,

to one person and then decided to marry another just because it would offer citizenship for that other person, even if they weren't a family member, hey, guess what? Again, you're now in serious jeopardy of us taking away your citizenship altogether because it wasn't a real marriage. Therefore, game over for not just that guy, but also for you, Ilhan, if that's in case, what in fact happened. So there's a lot. There's a lot they can be looking into right now. But I would say this, the president is now calling for the deportation of Ilhan Omar. You've got the Senate now looking at legislation. That's a lot of key senators that are all over this for the deportation of anybody involved in fraud, whether it was citizenship fraud, or whether it was tax fraud,

or whether it was, oh, let's steal from the American taxpayer kind of fraud. And you've got Tom remember with his scam act bill, they're in Congress. So the odds are stacked against you on Hill Hon Omar and you're stupid enough to try and cause the scene in the ruckus crashing out as you did with your little buddy Rashida just last night. This is not good. And you know what else is not good? The IRS's investigation into your husband and that sort of wine business that we're all kind of looking at saying where the heck is the darn wine. I mean, any grapes? You feel like like, where's the beef? Remember that commercial for Wendy's? It's like, where are the grapes? Timmy. it, Timmy Minnet, he's living high off the hog here. He's got all kinds of growth in his net worth

an increase of 3,500% in one solid year. Not bad work if you can get it. Let me go back. I think I just lost my voice here for a second, but I want to go back to this because he has basically come forward. Bear with me. You're going to look at some video right now of her filings, video of Ilhan Omar's filings seeing the 35% increase in wealth. And here we are. And here we are. are back on camera. Take a look at this. I mean, unbelievable. So again, that does not happen. Okay, I don't care how brilliant a trader you are. I have reported on financial markets forever. I run a financial research company. I don't care. One of our stocks, by the way, 76 research.com. We're very happy about this. It's up 35 and a half percent in the last two weeks since we added it to

two of our portfolios, actually, the resilience portfolio and also the inflation protection portfolio. So go check those out, 76research.com. But I'm just going to tell you. So I run a financial research company with my friend Rob Horton, and this doesn't happen. Okay, like it doesn't happen. I've reported on financial markets forever. It does not happen. You don't suddenly go from zero to 60 like this, or in her case, zero or negative net worth to suddenly $35 million or $30 million it's estimated. It just doesn't happen. And so there's a lot of suspicion about just exactly how this came about. And I'm just going to say, like, who's see, oopsie, Daisy. Whoopsie, Daisy, oopsie, Daisy. I want to be back on camera with you, but I am just going to say that

the allegation here is that, in fact, Ilhan Omar and her husband may have had some kind of ring where, and I'm not saying this is true, I'm just saying that this is what is being inferred by the likes of some very smart people. They haven't come right out and said it at Treasury, but I guarantee you this is exactly what they're thinking. And my friend Steve Forbes, who was just on the show last week who laid it all out and said, you know, she's got like the Al Capone style of the American dream, shall we say, and she's looking to defraud the American people. So he was pretty forceful in his allegations. What I'm just going to tell you is this is how it could have gone down. Suppose, suppose Timmy, who's now working on her behalf and getting paid a

freaking fortune, by the way, because like nobody who's running congressional campaigns makes the kind of money that he did some three million dollars in salary. But I guess he got a pay raise because once he married her, it was all for the family pot, right? All go into the same place. Wrong. You can't do that. That's why the ethics committee already investigated her under Biden. They gave up, but now they're investigating her again.

And this time it's really serious, both for the winery stuff and also, of course, because of the paying your spouse an inflated insane salary. This is not normal. It's just not, okay? So now you've got Congress demanding all of these records. They're going to look at what? I just showed you and then some. And they're going to try and figure out just exactly how Timmy Minet was getting this kind of money

allegedly coming into his venture capital firm. And the fear is, or the suspicion is, is that Timmy was out there soliciting, hey, come on, come on, come on, you want to be part of Ilhan Omar's feeding our future? You do? Okay, well, thank you very much. You got to invest in my fund. You got to, you know, we're going to wash it. We're going to clean it.

I'm going to give you that money back in other ways, shapes, and forms, courtesy of the American taxpayer. Think about this, you guys. $700 million that we know about left the Minneapolis airport in the span of two years in cash, in suitcases. It was actually reported to the TSA. We're not even talking about all the money that probably went over that never ever got reported. Part of the Huala system, right? They give each other cash. You give it to your friend who's of your same.

ethnicity and they bring it back to Dubai or who knows where else. I mean, just look at the remittances going into Somalia during that specific time. And a lot of this started in 2020. That's when the spigot was open. Okay, you know, Uncle Sam, paying big time. Paying really big time. $19 billion, big time in the state of Minnesota and perhaps much, much more in the state of California. I want to get to those allegations momentarily as well as what the FBI is saying. Cash Patel coming out saying he was tracked. He was, I'm going to use the word spied upon. People get defensive and weird about that because they're calling it tolling.

You can't say it was spying. They collected all his phone records as well as the phone records of Susie Weil, who was running the Trump campaign, who's now Donald Trump's chief of staff. This is suspicious activity. But first we're going to talk about. about a company that I am thrilled to be working with. They just came on board. This is 120 Life.125.com as it is known. You know, this is something important. It's February, and it's a time

when we think about and prioritize our health specifically, our heart health, because it's really a month when this is very, very much in focus. You notice the red color. I should have worn my red outfit today, but that's okay. I had red on yesterday, and I think read the day before. Anyway, it's important to think about this because, you know, look, there are, are always members of our family that struggle with high blood pressure. I actually have several without getting into too much information. But you could have a parent, you could have a grandparent, aunt, or uncle that suffers from this. And I'll tell you, there's not enough awareness of high blood pressure and the challenge is that it puts on your body.

High blood pressure is one of those things that you don't necessarily feel is super urgent. But I'll tell you, you don't realize that until you yourself are, affected or perhaps one of your loved ones is affected. And so, you know, I've actually been paying more attention to my own numbers lately. It is a new year and I'm like super into my health and wellness and I care about this stuff. And this is one number that I just would encourage everybody to look at. And to find out what your blood pressure is. And if it's high, I want you to take a good look at this company.

You know, look, I would just say, you got to remember, your blood pressure doesn't take a break, right? It's one of those things that I think people don't think about so quickly or easily, and they need to. And if yours is high, consider this, 120 life.

Okay, back to the story of the day, which would be Trump exploding on these Somali fraudsters. I mean, he's had, he right in the state of the union speech. Did you see this guys? This was pretty special. He just called him right out to their faces. The media didn't like this so much

because he referred to the Minnesota fraudsters as Somali fraudsters. We do know the majority of them were all from Somalia, including the 79th person who was just convicted the other day. She apparently tried to get out of the country on a flight, but they caught her. So, you know, consequences. Here is the president speaking, and Ilhan's just losing it in real time. There's been no more stunning example than Minnesota. We're members of the Somali community have pillaged and estimated $19 billion from the American taxpayer. Oh, we have all the information.

And in actuality, the number is much higher than that. And California, Massachusetts, Maine, and many other states are even worse. This is the kind of corruption that shreds the fabric of a nation. of a nation, and we are working on it like you wouldn't believe. So tonight, although started four months ago, I am officially announcing the war on fraud to be led by our great vice president, J.D. Vance. So J.D. Vance is now running the entire fraud operation. I mean, Besson has a big role in this as well. It's interesting to me. It actually kind of went above and beyond, Pam Bondi's head.

just again we'll we'll we'll we'll we'll we'll show that for another day okay so jd is in there he's taken over you've got besant as well in the IRS looking into all of this and the president's calling him out now oh my goodness the mainstream media you'd think he just said the the worst possible thing ever oh my goodness he called out the Somali fraud you're not allowed to say Somalian fraud I mean if it walks like a duck and it talks like a duck right I'm sorry but like 80% of people I think it's over 80% are all from Somalia. So there was a little community of people that had a thing going. And they figured it out.

And you got to go to wonder, did they figure it out because it was Ilhan Omar and Timmy Minet, helping them to figure it out. Don't forget one of her campaign staffers is one of the people that was tried and convicted. He stole millions of dollars. This is one of the campaign staffers that worked with her and Timmy. So he's in on it. You got the guy who's hosting her at the Somali Victory campaign. Payne restaurant. Again, if it walks like a duck and talks like a duck, I think that the IRS

really needs to do a deep dive investigation to just figure out how on earth Timmy Minnet suddenly became worth 30 million bucks in the span of a year. Coincidentally, around the same time that Ilhan Omar was bringing in $250 million for her friends in an entirely fraudulent scheme. Okay? Okay. I realize nobody wants to talk about that because somehow it's racist because you can't say this because they're Somalian and they're a protected class. Not, not anymore. Not under this president. Not under this Treasury Secretary.

Not under this vice president. That's over. Game over. It's game on. And they're going to figure out exactly where all this money came from and where it all went. Well, we know where it came from. It came from you and me. And every other taxpayer working hard trying to earn a living.

And guess what? You got the, the fraudsters, the pirates, making off like band. Literally, and it wasn't just in Minnesota. As you heard from the president, it was going on elsewhere, including in the state of California. So this is what they're trying to figure out right now. And Dr. Oz has been all over this. I want to go to him in a wonderful interview he did

with American Thought Leaders on Epic Times' platform. He talks about how massive and widespread this is in the state of California, ladies and gentlemen, watch. How is it that we've gotten seven times more hospice in California over the last several years? Do we have seven times more people dying? Like what's going on here? And you begin to realize it's systemic fraud. Everyone decided not to do anything about this.

We're not going to look at it. It's too painful, too difficult. Maybe some groups may benefit financially from not checking into this. So he's calling it systemic fraud, massive fraud, specifically related to hospice care. Now, this is something you should care about. You know why? Because it's not just graft in the system that may have cost us $80 billion, but it actually hurt a lot of individuals as well as Dr. Oz so well explains.

Listen. Doctors are being paid to send people inappropriately to hospice. Now, that's a problem, Yam, because if you're put into hospice, you actually give up the rest of your health care protection. You no longer get traditional Medicare benefits because you're in hospice, you're dying. So we're not going to pay all these extra expenses for things that aren't going to benefit you because you've decided to pull back. Voluntarily, you've decided that you're not going to go out there and try to get everything done for you possible

to help you live longer. You've made peace with the end. But people are put on hospice who don't know it. They don't realize it. And so now they don't have access to regular Medicare anymore. So people are dying because they can't get care because they were falsely tricked into being on hospice. That's scary. Right? So it's costing the system. It's costing individuals. If this is all true, then we get a real problem. Again, I want to go back to Dr. Oz in his investigation. He's citing, interestingly enough, another group of people that may have been a very tight-knit community, and his allegations are pretty significant against them. The governor's all worked up. How dare you call out the Armenian group there in California, but let's let him explain.

I'm here in Los Angeles with the U.S. Attorney's Office. We're talking about fraud. This place has become one of the epicenters for fraud, waste, and abuse in America. $3.5 billion just here in Los Angeles County, we think, around hospice and home health care. Then you add in all the other things like they have in Minnesota, but in California scale, it's huge. And what we have witnessed is a sevenfold increase in hospice in L.A. County. Sevenfold. That doesn't happen naturally. They're not seven times more deaths in LA County than they were five years ago. These frosters, and these do tend to be foreign influences. These are Russian Armenian gangs, mafia, that are leading a lot of these efforts, we believe, have been able to corrupt and work with doctors who are willing to lie to use that MD degree as a degree as a license to kill.

A lot of it's driven by foreigners who came to Los Angeles, very different culture, Russian, Armenian. And this mafia seems to have taken over the system. They've corrupt the doctors. They've normalized fraud so that everyone sort of expects it. But the magnitude of it is so great that we have taken on aggressively. It's a focus area for CMS. And this administration and the President Trump's not going to tolerate taxpayer dollars being stolen because people aren't paying attention anymore. We're focused on this. All right. I want to emphasize that the governor, Gavin Newsom, if you can trust anything he's saying, he said, no, no, no, no, this is. this is wrong and he's calling out Dr. Oz for putting the spotlight on the Armenian group of people,

but I would say that they're looking into this pretty significantly, and the president believes, as you heard him there last night in the state of the union, that there is significant amounts of fraud happening in California, in Maine, in Ohio, and of course, as we know very well, in the state of Minnesota. And I'm just going to say, a lot of people are going to find themselves in a lot of trouble. really like to see Ilhan Omar be one of them. Whether or not she should be deported, I don't know. Maybe she's first put in prison and then deported, because this is pretty serious if you're stealing those kinds of amounts of money,

knowingly doing so from American taxpayers. Pretty bad stuff. You know, I've been talking about health a lot. It's a new year. Quick shout out to our friends over at Balance of Nature who have been here on this show as wonderful sponsors for a very long time. So it helps me when you go to Balance of Nature. It definitely helps me if you use my name.

Trish Regan, of course. use code word Trish when you go to balance in nature. I take the fruits and veggies, but it's a wonderful. They have a whole health system and you can get the whole thing. I really encourage you to look at it because they have, oh, I want to make sure I get this number right. It's something like 30 something different sources of excellent, excellent natural foods that you need for your body. They also have a really wonderful way of like freeze drying all this. So they pack in all those nutrients and they keep those nutrients fresh for you. So it's a wonderful way you can't possibly eat that much or cook that much, frankly, in order to get all these different vitamins. And so

balance in nature is a great thing to take. I take the fruits and veggies. It's a little powder you can put it into a drink. You can sprinkle it onto your food and know that you are getting your fair share of vitamins daily. I'll tell you, AOC is really flaming out. Did you guys see this? She had just a terrible time in Munich when they asked her about some really important things like, oh, Taiwan, She had no answer at all. And now CNN is saying basically it's over, not just for her, but for all of the Democrats. She's on the tail end of this watch. I have former Vice President Kamala Harris at 18%.

Quite a weak number for her, given that, of course, she was the nominee last time around. Pete Buttigieg, of course, was run before 13%. Alexander Ocasio-Cortez at 12%. This is just a total clown car. It is a total mess. There is no clear frontrunner at this particular point on the Democratic side. Who the heck knows who the nominee? Clown car.

CNN. Calling the Democrats line up a clown car. I mean, mark the day in history, ladies and gentlemen. Okay, we should mark it down, right? This is something. But it is a clown car. It's a clown car because, you see, this is a woman who really is not cut out for any of this. I don't know how she ever got to this.

I mean, she was one of the first, I guess, to embrace social media when she was running for Congress. and that won her some favors, but she is not qualified for the job. I say it again, she's not qualified for the job, and this is a serious job, not just as a representative, but she's talking about running for president? Give me a break. I mean, this is what you want. This is who you're putting up, Dembs.

This is all you can do. Just go to Munich and see her fall flat on her face. Offer. And to all of you, and Congress will start with you, would and should the U.S. actually commit U.S. troops to defend. than Taiwan if China were to move. You know, I think that this is such a, you know, I think that this is a, um, today, junior. This is, of course, a very longstanding.

Suffice it to say this woman has literally no answer. And she got really upset because everybody started making fun of her. I mean, gosh, I mean, Kennedy was the best. to listen to him. The Congresswoman is kind of like Vice President Kamala Harris, but with more bartending experience. So he knows.

He's got her number. Well, she didn't appreciate it. She went and did this little social media post, apparently with her dog by her side, because I realize we don't want to bring out the 10-year-old boy in me, but there were some allocations about either some serious snoring or something else.

Anyway, here is A. IOC, absolutely on the verge of tears saying, how dare you insult my knowledge of international relations? If you think that I don't understand foreign policy, because out of hours of discourse about international affairs, I pause to think about one of the most sensitive geopolitical issues that currently exist on earth, I'm afraid the issue is not my understanding, but rather the problem is perhaps you've gotten adjusted to a president that never thinks before he speaks. She couldn't put the dog in the other room. She's got her priorities.

Anyway, anyway, this is the new head of the Democrat Party. As far as all the polling goes, so she's 12% right now in the lineup compared with Gavin and Kamala Harris, who are like neck and neck. I mean, he doesn't know what to do. He doesn't know what to do. He's imploding in real time. I mean, maybe he shouldn't come out with the book. Maybe he shouldn't tell a group of black.

audience members that he's just like them. He's really dumb, just like them. He gets a 960 on his SAT and then volunteers that he can't read. I mean, speak for yourself, buddy, okay? So he did that. And then, oh, he told a white audience, I read your book. These are two white authors. I've read your book in an hour and a half. It was so good. I read all 17, 18 chapters, whatever it was, of your book. Okay, okay, so you can either read or you can. I'm not really sure. I'm not sure you're sure because I don't think you know who you are. I mean, at least AOC is comfortable enough in her dizziness. Gavin, I don't know. Gavin, I don't know. Lightweight, that's what we'd call him. A real lightweight. I want to get to some heavy news. Jack Smith, you've been busted.

Biden's FBI, you guys have all been busted. Just coming out, we have learned that Biden's FBI not only spied on those eight sitting members of Congress and senators, they actually decided to spy on Cash Patel and Susie Wals, and I'm just going to use the word spy, and you guys can get all worked up and say, oh, it's not spying, it's not spying, it's just tolling. Okay, well, you want to know what tolling is? It's exactly what's got the guy, what's his name, the whistleblower, help me out, help me out, help me out.

I'm pulling him Biden here. whistleblower that wound up in Russia, et cetera. Snowden. Okay, Snowden. Thank you. That's what got him in all that trouble because he admitted, of course, that the government was collecting metadata. You're not allowed to do this. The government cannot collect metadata, especially on private citizens, especially on sitting U.S. senators. I mean, this is bonkers stuff. And yet they all did this in the name of protecting us, protecting the world against Trump. He saw the other day, J.P. Morgan came out and admitted that, yeah, they closed down all those Trump accounts, something like 50 accounts. Eric Trump told me personally he had something like 200 accounts shut off. But J.P. Morgan

cut off all the accounts because they said, well, you know, there was risk involved with having Donald Trump at our bank. Really? Okay? After January 6th, you see how it's a very slippery slope to fascism and not with the Trump administration, but with the Biden administration. Yeah. The Biden administration, in the name of preventing fascism, went out there and told the banks to start harassing customers, in some cases cutting off their bank accounts and access to a bank entirely, trying to destroy them financially. While simultaneously, you had the FBI out there snooping around on everybody's phone records, including then-private citizens, Cash Patel and Susie.

Wow. I mean, this is bonkers stuff. and they've got to pay for this. I'm telling you they've got to pay. Reuters had the exclusive here. They talked about how phone records were collected around the time of the Mara Lago classified documents case. Records were labeled prohibited,

making them harder for Trump officials to find them. No wonder, they no wonder they didn't want him to win because they knew everything that they had done. But tell us that investigators obtained, quote, toll records, which detailed the timing and receipt of calls. So they were trying to see who he was connecting with. Remember, we were talking about how they were trying to map out MAGA. Marshall Blackburn was one of the people who they were after Chuck Grassley, a whole bunch of them,

Ted Cruz. And I guess if you talk to any of these people, then you were in the hotspot. Here is Cash Patel speaking to Reuters and giving them a quote saying it's outrageous and deeply alarming that the previous FBI leadership secretly subpoenaed my own phone records, along with those of White House chief of staff Susie Wiles using flimsy pretexts and burying the entire process in prohibited case files designed to evade all. all oversight. So Reuters is like, oh, we couldn't independently verify some of these details, but suffice it to say, a lot of this actually has already come out, and we know this because

Senator Chuck Grassley told us he got a call from Verizon, he got a call from AT&T. It's all coming out, okay, so you guys can't hide from it any longer. It's illegal. Okay, what they did, I want to emphasize was illegal. Listen. I've recently been informed by Verizon that at least 11 members with Verizon accounts were affected. That includes a hardline for Senator Cruz's office and a staffer's cell phone for former Senator Leffler. AT&T informed me they challenged the legal basis. for Jack Smith's efforts and Smith back down. No, thank you AT&T.

And thank you AT&T for telling Chuck Grassley what was going down. I mean, this is bad stuff. I want to go back to Marsha Blackburn, who also, when she found out she was part of this, was outraged. It's such an overreach of government. This is exactly what our founding fathers were trying to protect against. Let's listen to Marsha. And thank you, buddy Sanders.

This month, we discovered, one of the worst abuses of government power in our nation's history. The FBI, under President Biden, spied on eight U.S. senators. I was one of those eight. Now, what we have learned so far is this. The agency, the FBI, tracked whom we were calling on our cell phones, where we were physically located when we made or received the calls, and how long each call lasted.

We still don't know the predicate for the subpoena, but they did go into a court and they got a subpoena. Now, by all appearances, the spying was politically motivated. The lawmakers who were spied on, all are Republicans. Each one of us support President Trump, and we had valid questions about the outcomes of the 2020 elections. What we also know is that no American should be spied on by their government because of their political beliefs, whether they are a Democrat or Republican or an independent.

This should not happen. Now, we're all duly elected members of Congress, and Jack Smith and the CR-15 unit at the FBI that did his dirty work for him, violated our First and Fourth Amendment rights, the separation of powers, the speech and debate clause, and the Stored Communications Act. If they are willing to do this to us, just imagine what they are willing to do to private citizens who have a different political point of view. What were they doing to the moms and dads that went to school board meetings? What were they doing to pro-lifers? We already know that through the same probe, which was termed Arctic Frost, that the FBI investigated nearly 100 Republican and conservative groups, including the Republican National Committee, the Republican Attorney's General Association,

and Charlie Kirk's Turning Point USA. We're hearing they may have surveilled as many as 150 different individuals. I mean, this is just unbelievable. I want to say that those numbers have since been updated. Biden's DOJ issued at last count 197 subpoenas to Republican entities and individuals. They clearly were looking at 430 different Republican entities, forgive me, and individuals. 197 subpoenas to 430 Republican entities and individuals. It was effectively the creation of a political enemies list.

And this is all under Joe Biden. Okay, Biden, I happen to have some friends, having been in the news business as long as I have, who know him very well. And what I've heard consistently, and this is even from Democrats, is like, this is a guy who just carries a grudge, a serious, serious grudge. On the other hand, I'm going to tell you guys, like I've known him a lot of years, he doesn't carry a grudge.

He really doesn't. He never, like, he's willing to make friends with anyone. And, you know, he's like, okay, let bygones be bygones. I remember Bill Maher had said all that terrible stuff about him, and then Bill Maher went to the White House and they made up until Bill Maher said more terrible stuff about him. But, you know, he's like willing to let it all go. It's a nice way to be, actually. We should all try to be that way in life. Don't carry around so much negativity like Joe Biden did. And was historic. known for doing. He couldn't remember much, but he could always remember who his enemies were. And I guess we'd put together some lists now and then. And this is what the concern is. So they were putting together an enemies list. What were they doing? They were calling banks. Bank of America was involved. J.P. Morgan was involved. You know what? You can't have a bank account going out to

Republicans. Think about that. I mean, if you were shopping at Dick's sporting goods, you were suddenly on a bad list. You were on the naughty list because I guess they sold firearms, so therefore you might be a Republican if you shop at exporting goods. Think of how nuts this is. They were looking for anybody who had donated to MAGA campaigns. I mean, this can't happen in the United States of America, and yet this is what was going on, and now we're learning today. Again, they went after private individuals in the case of Cash Patel and Susie Wiles. So they were out of control. And And now they sit there and they're like, we're going to defy the Trump administration. We're going to wear the F-Ice buttons.

And we're going to do this, that, and the other. Oh, my goodness, did you see them? It's sort of amazing that the stupidity that they had on display. Do I have it? Do I have it? I think I do. Oh, yeah. This is the defiance effort that they had with their little furry costumes there in D.C.

last night to counter the state of the Union. That it doesn't even want to play. I don't blame it. I'm a mother. I'm a physician. And I have a flag. And I am the proud representative for Oregon's third congressional district. Yes, thank you.

Sad little group that they are. So they had this little defiance thing. Chris Murphy, the senator from Connecticut, was one of the ringleaders in it. He did actually get sort of accosted. There was some group that somebody that came out and started screaming, you know, basically for pro-Maggot. It was like a Trump supporter and they were all worked up. I mean, I really wouldn't give him the time. a day. I'm not going to devote any airtime to them other than to say how sad and pathetic they look

and they are continuing to be sad and pathetic. And this is the same group that wants to basically shut you off and prevent you from getting a job, prevent you from getting a bank account, and prevent you from having any kind of future, all while simultaneously bringing in millions of people here illegally into the country and offering them free health care, free phones, free, I'm going to just call them like credit cards. What were those? They're little, you know, food cards because you had to have ethnically appropriate food. If you came to like a state like New York, you put you up in a formerly known as a five-star hotel,

the Roosevelt Hotel, in Midtown on the East Side, not bad, Daily Maid Service and everything. I mean, I'm sorry, we're over it, okay? We're just over it, guys. It's not going to happen again. And the scary thing is, and I'm just going to tell you my worst fear, the scary thing is we're going to be in a bad situation if come midterms, things shift.

and so I need you to stay motivated. I need you to help keep your neighbors staying motivated because there's so much at stake right now, so much at stake. Remember what they were doing and will continue to try and do. So as much as they want to tell you, he's the bad guy, and that MAG is the bad guy, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. Let's be very clear about what's what, okay? Again, we make our money the old-fashioned way.

We invest. We plan. We think about our future. If you're not doing that, I want you to do it. because we've had a few big wins, overall success. Our portfolios are up beating the S&P. It's a wonderful place to be in. We did actually add another stock to both the resilience portfolio

and the inflation protection portfolio at 76research.com just a couple of weeks ago, and I think I may have mentioned it around that time here on the show saying we were adding something new to some of our portfolios. I do encourage you to go and get those portfolios at 76research.com. It grew like 35.5%. I can't say that's going to happen every single time, but we like to pick them when they're down. That's the idea, right?

You buy low, you sell high. So go check that out when you can. I am thrilled. Wait a second. We didn't have sound? You're kidding me. How long? How long?

How long? Hopefully that wasn't too long. I was just telling you about how we ran into an audio issue late last night. And then apparently it happened all over again. Gosh, darn it. Chris 7049. You gifted five Trish-Frigan memberships. Wow, that was really generous of you.

Thank you so, so, so much. And I think everybody's happy to be here. Jonathan 1572 says thank you. Nico says thank you. Shane Pars says thank you. Ricky saying thank you. Joy saying thank you. Wow, we have a generous player here in Chris today.

So Chris, I say thank you to you. And it's good to have more members here, more of the team. And I'm not kidding. What I hope you heard and that I was saying there briefly, until I guess I hit the wrong button and suddenly inadvertently muted myself. Anyway, what I was saying is it's a really, really important time. I hope you heard that much. It's an important time because we actually need to make sure that the left is not successful.

Oh, 45 seconds, one and a half minutes, you're telling me, oh, dear, oh dear, oh, we'll clean that up in the non-live a little bit later on. But what we need to make sure of is that they're not successful in midterms that we all turn up in spades and that nobody gets down just because of the rhetoric that they're throwing around. And I say rhetoric because none of it's real. Let's face it. The economy's doing better. So people say, oh, you know, the economy's not great. It still feels lousy.

Well, I can tell you exactly why, because Joe Biden drove up inflation through the roof to the point where it was up over 9%. up over 10% on the consumer price index, upwards of 9%. And then it was like, oh, it's coming down. It's only at 7% this month. It's only at 8% this month. It's only at 6% this month. You want to shoot for 2%, 2% to 2.5%. That's sort of the sweet spot.

Because if you get rid of inflation altogether, you run the risk of deflation, and that's another conversation for another day. But it's much harder to fight in part because people like me who like to buy things on clearance will say, well, I can wait. I can wait until next month. I can wait till next year. You know, I'm going to get that, but I'm going to wait until the price goes down. And when you have that kind of embedded into the psychology of consumers,

it really works against the American consumer. But the point being that our economy is doing better. Unemployment is coming down. The unemployment rate, I mean, is coming down, I mean jobs are growing and increasing. This is even in the face of AI concerns, but, you know, we can also talk about that sometime because the AI is actually going to result in greater productivity.

Rob and I at 76 research are doing a piece on that right now. So don't be as fearful about AI as some are, we're not, because any time you look at these changes in history, they have always resulted in greater productivity, all the more reason, right, to be invested so that you're able to capture that increase in productivity. But there's a lot of reasons to be excited and enthused about this economy, this nation, and this administration right now.

And so I hope people keep their eye on the prize. I really do. It is great to have you here. Again, thank you for all the memberships. It's good to have some new members here on the show. And we will see you back here live again on the Trish Riegen Show. Too much.
