New legislation is hitting the halls of Congress, not just at Congress, but in the House of Representatives, also over at the Senate. They really want Ilhan Omar gone. I think we all do too. Welcome to the show, everyone. Good to have you here. I'm Trish Regan, and we've got big news. The Senate has just introduced new legislation that would make it a pretty serious crime to come here to this country as a migrant and to engage in any. kind of fraud. And most especially if it's government fraud. And then, of course, well, the obvious

sort of elephant in the room in all of this is one Ilhan Omar who is being accused of possible money laundering. We have the House Ethics Committee conducting an investigation into her husband's business, which doesn't quite add up, shall we say, in more ways than one. And Senator Marsha Blackburn announcing today that $750 million has been stolen from a American taxpayers and she wants something done about it now, including deportations and removal of citizenship for anyone who engaged in this fraud. Listen. Soda is probably up to $19 billion is what we're hearing. And then Dr. Oz has uncovered all of this fraud in health care and hospice in California. And that is being investigated.

We're getting reports. Every senator is getting reports. about fraudulent activity, defrauding the state and federal government. So I have filed the Immigration and Nationality Act update. It's called the Fraud Accountability Act. It makes all fraud, regardless of whether it's against an individual, a local state, or federal government. If you are in this country on a work visa, a green card, permanent residents, or naturalized as a citizen, this will be.

trigger a denaturalization and deportation hearing for you. And it cleans up that. It makes all fraud something that is a felony offense. Again, Marsha Blackburn announcing that legislation today, and believe me, she's going to see a lot of support from a lot of Republicans who are highly frustrated with all of this. We heard lawmakers getting quite a dose of reality from an independent journalist, one that works with Nick Shirley, who conducted an investigation into all these daycares out in Minnesota earlier today. I want to go to David Hock because he clearly outlined just exactly what's at stake right now? Every one of these facilities are located in a commercial or industrial building. No play areas, bad neighborhoods, and several of the childcare facilities had

signage which stated they were open either 7 a.m. to 10 p.m., 2 p.m. to 10 p.m. Quality Learing Center, for example, or open 24 hours. Who the heck brings their kid to stay overnight at a child care facility in a rough neighborhood? None of it made any sense. The leering misspelling was the final straw for me. That's the spark that ignited my full-on investigation. Wow. And we learned all kinds of things. Remember? I mean, the Learing Center, yeah, he's right. That was one of the best examples, most egregious examples of just how bad this had gotten. But basically what he found was that daycares, as he mentioned, were located in these industrial buildings, in commercial buildings, in bad neighborhoods with no play areas whatsoever. They claim to operate 24 hours a day. They, you know, were licensed,

for example, for 99 children. But when you went and you looked at the W-2 tax information, what you saw was that there were no employees that would be sufficient for, say, 99 children. So why would you give them the license to operate in the first place? Multiple child cares were found to be registered at the same address, and yet only one daycare name on the sign. That's a clear example, right, of fraud when you have 10 daycares working in one facility, but you only have one facility there on the sign. But they're bilken the government and the U.S. taxpayer for all that money, for all those daycares that don't exist.

You had misspelled signage, of course, Leering Center being quite infamous at this point, and then the same fraud they're looking at now in Maine. Yeah, up by Bates College, if anybody's spent any time there. So Washington State, Ohio, Ohio, which happens to be the second largest place where we're seeing cash reported by the TSA leaving in suitcases heading over to the Middle East, second largest small population as well. So none of this is adding up. And we know, again, Marshall Blackburn pointing out that the fraud estimate has gone up to $750 million nationwide. We know that there are states like California where they're looking at the hospices, those are a big concern. But of course, Minnesota being at the sort of forefront of all of it, which is why you have her now saying, hey, we're going to take this more seriously.

We've got to have legislation on the books to make it more easy to deport and strip people of their citizenship because we certainly don't want to encourage this kind of behavior. Now, this echoes what we saw from Representative Emmer most recently over in the House of Representatives. he also is introducing some similar legislation. Watch. 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, okay. So that was a pretty direct hit at her. He kind of went where Marsha maybe wasn't quite willing to go and called her out entirely. One for the marriage fraud. And we can talk about that. that actually is a big, big deal.

And they could get her right now. You don't need new legislation on that one, because if she, in fact, married her brother, as it is alleged, and by the way, the New York Post and the Daily Mail have done some great reporting on this, and they've spoken to many people within her community that have come out and made these allegations. If this, in fact, can be proven out. And by the way, you don't need a DNA sample to do this. You could actually go back and talk to community leaders.

You could go back and get information from, for example, her original filings, original filings, there may be some discrepancies in there. If that actually proves out, boom, presto, she's gone already. Okay, that's enough. But they're trying to make this more mainstream and facilitate it because the way the law currently reads, it is actually a little bit more difficult, right? So if you come to this country, you get your citizenship, and then you do a whole bunch of bad stuff and you defraud American taxpayers of millions and millions of dollars, well, they don't quite have the recourse yet. That's what they're concerned about. Maybe you get on marriage fraud. You might be able to get her on that because you actually can't misrepresent

your own U.S. citizenship to then go and use that to have somebody else come into this country that shouldn't be legitimately here. So that's one way they could get her, but they really want to make sure that they have something concrete. Again, let me go back to Representative Emmer, who's effectively joining the Senate, right? The two of them, you've got the Senate with one bill and you've got Emmer with another. Here we go. This law would just provide that That is a basis to denaturalize, take away your citizenship, and ship you back. And part of this is because I've got a representative in Minnesota, Ilhan Omar, who likes to go on national programs and play the victim. Yet the same representative goes to the University of Minnesota campus, and in reality encourages violence against Jewish students.

And she says, hey, we're citizens. There's nothing you can do about it. Well, guess what? There is something that we should be able to do about it. You should not be allowed to come to this country, take advantage of the generosity of Americans and the American government, and get away with it. If you commit fraud, you should be denaturalized and ship back.

Wow. Okay, so that's the consensus right now. And I think pretty much everybody would agree with that. I mean, other than the Democrats and maybe Ilhan Omar herself, Ilhan Omar, who doesn't want you looking at anything, right? including any of her husband's indiscretions. Somehow they just want ice to go away. They want to take the story away from the fraud

that was committed in the state of Minnesota or committed in the state of California or Washington or Ohio or Maine. They want to shift that away to, oh, Big Bad Ice. And Big Bad Ice is killing people in the streets, et cetera. Forget about the fact that you've got people who are criminals in jails. They're finally actually able to go into the jails.

Imagine that. Thank you, Tom Homan. They're now able to go into the jails. and get the bad guys, and they're, as we understand it, cooperating with ICE, finally. And yet you've got these crazies, right? I don't know how else to describe them, all the women from the squad. And there's like a new member there, I see. They're out there trying to say that ICE is this horrible, awful, awful thing.

And that, by the way, jens up a whole other set of controversies that really aids itself in terms of these protests, et cetera. But back to the real story, because the real story is the fraud. And by the way, I think the real story is just exactly what the hubby, Tim Minet, was doing with all his little businesses. I mean, Tim Walts admitted it, right? The other day he said on a podcast, yeah, we had some fraud. Oh, some people did something.

We had people steal from us. We've got folks try to make hay out of this. Absolutely. We're still getting court cases that we're moving forward. We've got a lot of folks that are now, I think, put those program integrity pieces in place. I'm feeling really good about that. This is again, look, we have a well-run state, we have high quality of life, we did have people steal, we're now seeing other states had that too. But I said I didn't run to be called the governor. I ran to do the job. That's what I'm doing right now. And I'm really proud.

You know, we had some fraud, some people stole from us. We're seeing that they stole in a whole bunch of other states too. But you know, that's not really the story. Don't look here because the real problem is ice. Whoa, guys. All right, I'm sorry, that's not the real problem. We know what the real problem is. is trying to clean things up. And if you guys would work with ICE, maybe we could actually be on a better path to a better future. For goodness sakes, Barack Obama, okay? He sent more people home than any other president in history, more than President Trump, in fact. And yet, these guys don't want to admit it. They want to ignore that reality. Why? Because it's politically expedient for them. And don't forget, things have changed since Obama. Back in the Obama days, they actually felt that there were some considerations in terms of the economy and in terms of

labor and wages, et cetera, and that people were coming here and taking Americans' jobs. And so Obama was trying to protect against that. But the funny thing happened on the way to the forum, what did they figure out? They figured out, oh, I guess we don't have enough people in blue states that are going to vote for us. So maybe, you know, if we want to rig this electoral college a little bit better, if we want to make sure that we have more congressional representation, maybe we should just be sending all of these people, millions of people, into these blue states. Listen to this. Jacob Fry, the mayor of Minneapolis, speaking on CNN, and the CNN reporter is like trying to go there and trying to go there. You know, it's killing her to do it. But the bosses

must be saying, you know, we need to be a little bit more measured, have a little bit more, you know, to each side, walk it down the straight and narrow, try and push some of these people on some of these questions. And she can barely get the question out, right? Like she hates herself for asking this question. But then he completely diverts away from giving any kind of answer, the mayor of Minneapolis. Ladies and gentlemen, Jacob Fry. That during the Obama years, the Hennepin County Jail actually had a policy

where they let an ICE agent keep an office there and allowed them to talk to immigrants. So the policy has clearly been under a Democratic president what now the Trump administration is asking for. I mean, big picture, do you think it's good policy for the jails to follow an ICE detainer? and hand someone over if they've committed a crime. And again, this only happens after.

Oh, yeah, she asked the question, but watch how she backtracks. They've served their time, you know, for whatever crime they may have committed against the people of Minnesota. I mean, look, you're asking all the right questions here. And while I don't have full expertise in how the operations that the jail are conducted, again, that's not our jurisdiction. What I would say is that there are mechanisms to do this lawfully. Right. In other words, the mechanism would be that you cooperate with federal officials. They have supremacy here, period, end of story. So if you guys are going to get in the way of that, and you're not actually going to allow them to be able to go into the jails and be able to arrest,

I mean, you're going to turn onto the streets, people that have already been convicted of crimes. I mean, like, that makes any sense. They're here illegally. They've committed a crime, and they get to walk free. I mean, gosh, if you're regular old American, you're not going to get that kind of treatment, right? It makes literally no sense. And she's pointing this out to him, hey, you know, Barack Obama didn't do anything different. Why is it different now? Because, because it's Donald Trump, you see.

But back to Minneapolis and their fraud, because Ilhan Omar is certainly in trouble right now as we look at both the Senate and the House introducing legislation to deport people who have been convicted of fraud, and they specifically, at least in the case of the House legislation, are aiming this at one Ilhan Omar, whom they believe may have done some really sketchy stuff. with her husband, the hubby, who, by the way, does not have exactly what you would call a stellar track record.

He left his wife for her. Okay, you think of that what you will. So he leaves his wife for her, and on the day they announced the marriage, they also announce that she's introducing legislation for the $250 million feeding our future. And again, this guy is not exactly a winner because he's had a history. of serious complaints. I mean, fraud after fraud case. He's been sued for fraud multiple times. We're going to get to that in a second, but this is why she is now very much in focus. They're concerned that she's been using her husband's company as some kind of money laundering off.

I mean, the winery, for goodness sakes, the winery, what do they say? You know, the best way to make a few million is to start with many million and then have a winery. Usually you lose money in these things, so it's a good place to lose money if you're trying to do some money laundering, right? I'm just saying, it's one of the easiest ways. And he's had a few of these things. You know, he had the cannabis company, he had the winery company, he's got the private venture capital firm that allegedly has $60 billion under management. Is $60 billion, my, you know what, come on.

I mean, that is absolute fiction if I ever heard it. I mean, he ought to be like stopped right then and there. He's got a website where he says he has $60 billion under management. I mean, it's absolutely wrong. It's totally fraudulent. Here's a woman I want to share with you that went to his winery location in Santa Rosa, what was listed, of course, on the filing forms, and here's what she found effectively no winery.

See, this is Sweet B, again. That is the address where Ilhan Omar's winery is. You can see that a different winery is here, punched down to cellars. What does this note say? East Street crew does not make wine here. They were a client many years ago and have it, Seized operation. Their operating address is linked to this address like all other client wineries because of state and federal filings. So I wonder what else they have to show for it. What do you think about that?

I think they're just trying to keep as much distance between them and their business and Elan Omar is as much as possible. Yeah. You guys just do a little more research before. Yeah, that's what we're kind of doing right now. Would you be so kind of to tell us about this? Do you know what this place is? No, that's why we came back here. It's a custom crush place. Every bunch of people use it. Okay.

Right? So it's like renting instead of owning. Yeah. So there's like about 40 of us in here. Okay. Making wine. Yeah, yeah. We're just trying to like just figure out what is really going on.

We see that. It's not just call. Call because there's nothing going on. The pastor told us that a punch down sellers makes wine for 14 different. They don't make wine. wine or crush it and you hold it for them no we we winemakers make wine in the same facility oh cool which uh because we my family we've been part of like members of like certain wineries and stuff so

is there like a high high end brand that you guys like hold for or anything like that you know i don't own the the place okay i'm just one of the winemakers okay and there's a bunch of us under one roof awesome that's all what's your wineries name i'm not going to get it into it. Okay. It's not that much. Oh, yeah, obviously. You didn't really seem very happy. No. Do they have people coming to check this place out or something that they needed to put a sign on it? I mean, probably. I haven't noticed anybody else. I would imagine so because, I mean, that company's being. Okay, so our thanks to Angela. I believe her name is Angela Rose and she put that up on Twitter and she went to that

location there in Santa Rosa. So Punchdown Sellers, which is apparently the address that was listed, is some kind of, I don't know, let's think of this like a compound pharmacy or just like an off-label brand, right? They just make a ton of wine, I guess, and you put your label on it. You can go in there and tweak it yourself. You heard him say that there were a bunch of different winemakers inside there. And so that seems to be what the business was doing. I kind of wonder if this was like the business that actually sued him. There was another business that came forward and said, hey, you know, we made all this wine for you.

We were getting all these grapes for you. $900,000 later, we don't have our payment. He apparently paid that in some way, shape, or form, but not without having to go through that lawsuit with more fraud allegations being made. Again, punched on sellers getting dragged into this. There was an article I found back in the New York Times in 2018. Maybe, maybe Timmy saw it too, and this is his big aspiration, or not really an aspiration, just a thought of, well, this would be convenient, right?

I mean, I'm saying, per the allegations. If one were to be using a winery as a money laundering op, it's a great thing. great vehicle, apparently, just a great vehicle. And you find something like this, and then you can say, you've got this winery, da, da, da, da, da. Anyway, the art of winemaking on the cheap. Young producers with little money and no vineyards face obstacles in building their businesses. But with maximum effort, it can be done. So he didn't have any land, he didn't have any wine. He didn't, you know, there was, there were no grapes. But he went and somehow outsourced it to this particular company, which enabled him to then have some kind of label, so to speak.

And so that's what you see. When you go back and you look at these filings, I mean, what's interesting to me is, as you saw from that reporter, they have a sign on their door. The Ilhan Omar's S. E Street Winery, I was calling it Eskru or something, because I was trying to get a little French flair, it's East Street. Okay, so E Street Winery is, maybe that's like Easy Street. Easy Street, easy street.

That's a song from Annie in my first introduction to economics, learning about FDR in the 1930s. And by the way, it's a fabulous play. Fabulous, fabulous play. But it's not the whole story. I think for the whole story, you've got to go read Amity Schley's book, The Forgotten Man, about the Great Depression. But I digress. Back to the filing form here. We've got the filing form for East Street.

Easy Street. Winery. East Street crew, it was called. And they're saying that they're making $15,000. $5,000 to $15,000 off this thing, but it really wasn't functional anymore. So what's that about? Okay, Santa Rosa, California. Again, you saw the place in Santa Rosa.

It's kind of just like a big factory, right, where you can have individual winemakers there, but it's really not, shall we say, a winery per se. So again, lots of questions. You know, I want to go back to another fraud case. They sued him. This one guy, in a mead mode, alleged he, alleged. was promised 200% returns. Again, heads up. Go check my financial website, 76research.com, if you're interested in investing, 200% returns. Like, do not trust that if anybody ever offers you 200%

returns. You run as fast as you can. This guy should have run so far from Ilhan and Timmy Minet, but he's thinking, mine at worst, going to go up, but Timmy Minet, what do you know? 200% returns. Yeah, right. $300,000 he had to put down for those 200% returns, and he actually made a complaint and he sued him. He said that he was allegedly misled by this Timmy Minot and his partner and the principal of his money had been gone. Eventually it was repaid, but they had to go through litigation. And, you know, Wynet says, oh, this is just contract dispute. This is not actually fraud. This guy was saying it's fraud. I mean, there's just been a little too much of this. Again, I go back to, you had me at $60 billion assets under management.

there's no way he has $60 billion. I said this before. In fact, yesterday I was like, look, if he has $60 billion at this so-called venture capital firm, which look at this, this is the front of it, executive partnerships for global operators, that's not a venture capital firm. That's what you call a lobbying firm that's working in 80 different countries. $60 billion, assets under management, as though it's one of the largest venture capital firms around? I don't think so.

I don't think so. So that's a lie. And, you know, why is she being viewed as a potential money launderer? Well, you have the Hawala community within Minneapolis. And Hawala is a system by which you can transfer money, and it's very popular within the Middle Eastern community, and you find a lot of them using a lot of cash. I did a story years ago that was nominated for an Emmy,

and actually the Treasury Department came out and announced that so many of the people that I had profiled as known terrorist financiers were actually, in fact, known terrorist financiers, and they took away any kind of rights they would have to come to the United States and froze their accounts, et cetera. But in my reporting, what I found was that they were transferring somewhere, I mean, just massive amounts of money, back the largest source of funding for Hezbollah and Hamas in the world outside of Iran. And it was all coming from this little town, Sierra deleste Paraguay, in this, like, jungle area that bordered Argentina, Brazil,

and Paraguay. And the reason they were able to do this, or partly the reason they were able to do this, is because of this cash network. So it makes it harder for Treasury to go out and find all of this. So I'm assuming, given that we know $700 million, went in suitcases. This is what they told us about. This is what they actually declared to the TSA. It's the most money of any, any airport in all of America coming right out of Minneapolis. Given that we know that, and it happened over two years, $700 million, between 24 and 25 going over to the Middle East. Dubai was one of the most frequent locations. These are these Huala money transfers.

So they do take this cash, and they operate in cash, and there's a reason they operate in cash. By the way, typically in these cases, the organization that's doing the illicit stuff, the terror organization, is taking a percentage off the top. So you've got concerns about al-Shabaab, Terra financing, come right out of Minneapolis, and out of who?

The U.S. taxpayer? Okay, so this is why this is such a big deal. You've got concerns about a quote-unquote money laundering operation because it's quite possible that dirty cash could have been injected into the business. You layer it, you shuffle it, you know, you have all these different things within there, and then you have basically the ability to extract clean wealth on the other end. And this is the fear between the venture capital firm operating in 80 different countries and, of course, this so-called winery.

people are suspicious. Here's what we know. She went from zero to anywhere between $6 and $30 million in a year. I don't know many people that go from zero to 30 without having a legitimate business. Yeah. Do you? I don't. I don't.

I don't. I don't. I don't. I don't. On top of which, the guy doesn't pay his taxes. $403,000 per Forbes. Look at that. He did not pay.

for this venture capital firm. I don't know how this really happens. Now, you can't ask her about this. Don't forget, if you ask her about it, she says you're a racist, this is so bad, you're trying to say that I can't have my shot at the American dream. Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. I'm just going to say she married a loser, okay?

He's kind of a loser. He's had multiple fraud allegations. He was in the cannabis business before he got into the winery business. So a good Muslim woman, you know, in the winery and cannabis business. I don't know what to say about that. But even in the cannabis business, he was being accused of fraud

and taking investors' funds. And, you know, this is one big, fat loser of a guy. I don't know how else to say it. And, you know, we all know it. And she's a loser, too, frankly. As far as I'm concerned, anybody that would marry a guy with all these fraud allegations, okay? And by the way, marriage number three,

we don't know exactly what went down in marriage number two. But, you know, marriage number three, and she's in the winery business? And then, well, so why is she wearing the hijab? I mean, don't, don't tease us, okay? I don't think you're really very Muslim. There's another word for it called crooked. And that's why we have to have an investigation into this, is, you know, the Biden administration started to examine her finances,

and that of her husband. And so, so surprise, surprise, that investigation went nowhere. But it's amazing how people can go into Congress and then become these onesioners. entrepreneurial investing geniuses where they come in. She had under a thousand dollars of net worth and her husband didn't have much and suddenly now they're multi-millionaires. Is there a money laundering operation here? And in terms of the firms themselves, they have a sketchy background, that winery in California that she and her husband own. Where did that come from? Where's the wine there? And nobody can seem to find it. So there's a lot of smelly stuff here. And that's

why in the American Dream, her version of the American Dream is the Al Capone version of the American Dream, Tony Soprano version of the American Dream, and that is steal it, steal it from the taxpayers. And so there's a lot of stuff here. And so when somebody cloaks themselves in the, oh, the American Dream, and so you have numbers like this from minus 1,000 to 30, 40 million, you know something is not right. Yeah, unbelievable. By the way, Steve's going to come on the show with us next week, so you'll hear more from him. I'm just looking at some of your comments here in real time, and Don Baca is pointing out how nuts the markets are right now. Crazy VAL. Crazy Val, Don Baca. I know Silver, he said, up to 80 and then down way down. Bitcoin's been all over the place.

I was looking at Bitcoin right now. It's down below $68,000. So, wow, wild, wild ride. By the way, if you're interested in more about these markets right now, we're going to get back to Ilhan in a second. If you're interested in making money, oh, I don't know, the real old fashion way. I really do. encourage you to go and check out our portfolios there at 76 research.com. 76 research.com. That's my investment research firm where, you know, we're not like Ilhan, shall we say. You're not going to, and nobody's promised you at 200% returns, but you know what, I'll tell you, with a little patience and some diligence, and right now I realize it takes some nerves of steel because the market is so crazy,

and it's volatility, I said, is really, really back. Look, I encourage you to go there, 76research.com. Look at the model portfolios. But I would say that, you know, overall, she's in a lot of trouble. And I know I keep saying that, and I think that they're going to find it. I mean, the Hualala network and everything be damned, because this Treasury Secretary, oh, and he was great today. I don't know if you saw any of that. He put Pocahanna, shall we say, in her place, one Elizabeth Warren. He's very serious about investigating this. And the president's very serious about making sure that somebody is in charge of this overall fraud investigation. I mean, he does have J.D. Vance involved,

and they're putting somebody who's going to actually run the whole thing. And I think that that's incredibly important right now because it's clear to me that she's done some funny stuff. You know, she's, again, back on the, we got to get rid of ice, we got to get rid of eyes. That's her only answer for things because she won't answer any of these allegations. She won't even stand up for herself other than to say, well, you're racist and that everybody's always looking at her. Yeah, they're looking at her because, for example, why was she paying her hubby? What did she pay him? Nearly $3 million?

I mean, that was just nuts. I mean, talking about a payday. For goodness sakes, I mean, you don't pay your spouse. You don't pay your campaign manager. $3 million. That's an insane amount of money. She was paying him $8,000, $8,000 between, oh, there was a two-year time, her. horizon. So he went from, you know, let's call it 400 in change to 2.8 million? As soon as he marries

her, what do you think that was about? She was paying herself, okay? I'll just say it. She was paying herself, which is why the Biden administration started looking into this. And then, of course, the Biden administration being as weak as it was. And it's frayed, fraid, fraid, fraid, it's just a bunch of scaredy cats, right? They didn't want to go near this because, oh, she was going to alleged fraud, no, forgive me, alleged racism. And then they were going to say, oh, but there's this concern about fraud. And so, oh, but why are you looking at me? You know, is it because I'm Somali? And by the way, we Somalis are really important in the state of Minnesota. You don't win Minnesota without winning the Somali vote. So you understand how difficult this became.

Well, even the New York Times has reported this one out. They were already looking at her under Biden's administration. So yes, this woman's in a heck of a lot of trouble. And her only answer is to go back to ice. We've got to get rid of ice. That's all she's got. We cannot allow federal agency, one that was created for the purpose to terrorize, to function as an occupying force in our community. Real accountability starts with abolishing ICE, impeaching Kristineau, and rethinking how we enforce immigration policy in this country. I'm still laughing about Easy Street. The fact that he named his company East Street. Easy Street. Woo! I mean, there's a lot there. Okay, there's a lot there. And we're going to

stay on it because I think this needs to be exposed every single last bit of it. You know what else? The president thinks needs to be exposed right now. It's just exactly what went down in Georgia. What do you guys think went down in Georgia? What exactly happened? He's worried that there were some illegal votes. I want to get to that because he spoke up today and said, we're going to find out the truth soon. But first, quick shout out from one of our great sponsors, was that balance of nature. They've been with us here on the show for a long time, and I take the fruits and veggies. I'll tell you, this stuff is great. David, who works with me, one of my team members, is actually out of Florida, sent me a picture the other day because somebody was visiting his house. And he's like, check,

look at it. Look at what's on the sink. And sure enough, it was fruits and veggies. Anyway, it's really important, right, to take care of yourself, to eat healthy and to drink lots of water and to exercise and all of that. But, you know, look, I get it. We're all busy. We can't always necessarily cook all these vitamins up, but that's where the nature's balance in nature's whole health system comes in because you have 31 different fruits and vegetables all there for you. And it's a great way to make sure that you're getting all of your nutrition. They have spice supplements, which actually mix very nicely into your drinks. It's great. And as I said, you can get the fruits and veggie supplements, which is what I take.

You can also mix the powder into a smoothie. So that's another great way to get it. The whole health system actually features ingredients like flaxseed, cinnamon, turmeric, mango, pineapple, wild blueberry, chitucky mushrooms. Ooh, I'm getting hungry. Spinach, kale, all of these things. Forgive me, I said 31. I think it's 47 ingredients that you're getting here. 100% real, whole fruits, vegetables, spices, and fibers, perfect for your daily routine.

So go to balance at nature.com. Use my name, Trish, T-R-I-S-H, so that you get 50% off. 50% off the whole health system for life. With this limited time offer, go to balance of nature.com to claim it. New and existing customers can lock in the whole health system at $79.99 per order for life. If you cancel in the future, you're going to lose it. But anyway, balance of nature.com. The president wants to know the truth about Georgia.

He wants you to know the truth about Georgia. And he has put one Tulsi Gabbard, Director of National Intelligence, on the case. He expects that the FBI will reveal exactly who won Georgia. Listen. But let me ask you this. If China or any of these countries are involved in our elections, that would bring her into it. And everybody knows that Russia, they talked about Russia, it turned out to be a hoax. It was Hunter Biden.

It wasn't Russia. Look, we have to have honest elections. Yeah. There should be nothing wrong with the fact that they went in, got ballots from a while ago, and they're going to look at him. And now they're going to find out the true winner of that state. We know the true win. Oh, okay.

You see, Hans, like, oh, my God, oh, my God. It's like you could just feel their blood pressure going up. That was an NBC interview that he did yesterday. And so he wants to know just exactly what went down. As you'll recall, Tulsi Gabbard was on the ground there, as they took 700 boxes of ballots away from Fulton County, Georgia. The Director of National Intelligence was on scene yesterday. with no official explanation why for her exact role in the probe.

Back in December, the DOJ sued Fulton County, Georgia, seeking access to 2020 voting records after state officials allegedly failed to respond to a subpoena. FBI's Atlanta field office head was forced out in recent days, but it's unclear if this is all related. So it might be, right? I mean, the FBI field officer getting forced out. Maybe he wasn't going to go along with this the way they needed him to. because it was the FBI that was in there, taken the 700 boxes of ballots out.

Remember this was caught? Actually, I think inadvertently, somehow a cameraman from the local Fox affiliate slipped in and was getting this footage until he was sent away. Unbelievable stuff. Going inside of the election facility, our photographer was able to go inside. He was let inside and allowed to be up and close.

As you can see, this is interesting, because one of the questions we did ask Larry was if agents were restricting his access or asking him to back up at all. And he said that so far they've been allowing reporters to get up close to the situation. Okay, so now agents are asking them to back up. Actually, you shouldn't even be in this area, but hey, you know what? I don't have a key. So there you go. Okay. The cameraman's like, don't look at me. Okay, so agents are asking them to backup, saying our crew should not be in this area. So this is something we're going to continue to monitor. And as our photojournalists gathers more information and reporter Larry Spruill gathers more information,

we're going to be able to hopefully get that information for you. Right now, he's Wow. I mean, so this is just unbelievable. They've got 700 boxes of ballots. So what are they looking for? They're looking for any kind of indiscrepancies, you know, things that might look like they were copied, et cetera. And again, Tulsi being involved, a lot of people are complaining about. this. Why is Tulsi? She's the director of national intelligence. Why would she be involved in this? Usually she's on the international front. But the concern here is if there was any tampering, was this, I mean, maybe this is how they put it in her jurisdiction. I'm just hypothesizing here because I get it, right? Like it's an American thing. Why would the director of national intelligence be involved?

You heard him say earlier because, look, what do you think happened with Hunter Biden and the Russia, Russia, Russia, Russia thing, et cetera. I mean, you know, come on, right? Hey, great to see you here. Cy Rex Corr, I think I said that, right? Thanks for the generosity. We'll get to some of your comments in a moment, but let's go back to the president here. Speaking this morning at his prayer breakfast, the Thursday prayer breakfast, talking about what a good job Tulsi's doing on this. We have our director of national and international intelligence, Tulsi Gabbard, who's doing a great job. She took a lot of heat two days ago because she went in at Pam's insistence. She went in and she looked at votes that want to be checked out from Georgia.

They say, why is she doing it? Right, Pam? Why is she doing it? Because Pam wanted her to do it. And you know why? Because she's smart. And they said, well, this has to do her position. It has to do it.

It's really not so, but her position has to do it. to do with international. I say, well, the same people that said that, they've been saying, Russia, Russia, Russia has been screwing our elections, okay? So let's assume Russia had something to do with it. They said, no, no, Russia didn't have. So now they're saying Russia had nothing to do with it. Because if I say Russia, that it's perfectly fine. But you could add China and about five other countries. But she's done a great job, and Pam has done a fantastic job, and we appreciate it both. I've been seen you a couple of times. Well, that was a very nice compliment for one, Pam Bondi.

A lot of people have sort of, myself included, been a little bit frustrated with Pam Bondi as of late, but the president has clearly not lost faith. Listen, the Fulton County thing is a big thing. It's a big deal. The Democrats can't believe this happen. They just can't believe it. They're absolutely aghast. And you have a lot of the folks down there trying to suggest that, well, the FBI is going to do something with the ballots.

I mean, come on. for goodness sakes, but you know, this is the craziness you're dealing with. Hey, Alphans, good to see you here. He says, the Democrats and their flunkies have viciously attacked Tulsi recently. Why, she has complete integrity. You know, I like Tulsi a lot. I really do. I think that they're afraid of her Alphonse for a lot of reasons, maybe because she is so competent. Don't forget, she was a Democrat who switched sides, moving right over to MAGA, after what? Hillary Clinton trying to insist she was a Russian. I mean, that's a heck of a thing to have said about you, but, you know, this is what they say

about people. You're either a racist or a Russian spy. Russian spy or a racist. You know, take your pick. With Tulsi, she was a threat, therefore they had to take her out. What did they do? I mean, she really, I mean, I've followed her career for a while, and I'm like, this woman's good, like really good. I mean, for a Democrat, right? She's really good. And so I've been very high on her since I first sort of noticed her, I want to say back in 2016 when she was just, you know, a regular politician from Hawaii. And she rose up through the ranks and she actually might have had a shot at getting the Democrat nomination. So how did they take her out? Hillary made sure that you knew she might be a Russian spy. So yeah, she's a vet for goodness

sakes. I mean, you're trying to take down a woman who has been out there putting her life on the line for the country. I don't think she appreciates. appreciated that at all. And so I think she and Donald Trump are somewhat sympathetico in this. They've both been accused of some pretty heinous stuff. You know, he's an agent for the Russians. That was all false. We know that. Same thing with Tulsi was all false. So yeah, they want to know what's going on. And again, they're hyperventilating. My gosh, they can barely even talk in Fulton County, Georgia right now.

Hey everybody. So here's an update. We're at the elections hub right here off Fairrun Road and they did correct the warrant and they are now in there getting the documents. 700 boxes of 20-20 ballots and accompanying things that go with it. You know, absentee ballots, all the things, right? So our clerk of superior court, Alexander, is in there making a log of everything that they're taking, but this is like all wrong. So we're trying to figure out a legal plan and we should have one, whether that's an injunction, whether a motion to quash.

I mean, whatever it is, we're trying to figure it out right now because this is an attack on our elections, meant to keep you from trying to go to the polls in November, being too afraid to change what's going on in our nation. So instead of worrying about people dying in Minnesota, here we are at the Fulton County Elections Hub. So let me go find out what the legal plan is. Hi, everybody. Listen, I know you're watching the news. You're saying a lot of stuff about this FBI raid at the Fulton County Elections and Registrations. I'm on the inside right now. So I just want you to be like real discerning about all that you're hearing from people who are on the outside of what's going on.

I'm gonna give you the truth about what's happening. So they served a warrant, the FBI, this is Trump, serving a warrant to go pick up the 2020 ballots, which are in a secure location inside of here, 700 boxes. The first warrant that they gave was incorrect legally, like they didn't follow the right procedure. They went back and they fixed it,

and they came back and now they aren't actually collecting the boxes. They are in the command, the chain of command in Fulton County is that once they are archived, they become the possession of the clerk of Superior Court, which is Shea Alexander. She is here and she is with them, inventorying everything that they're taking.

We, the commissioners, the chairman, the county attorney are trying to figure out a legal plan as to maybe an injunction, a motion to cross. We don't know yet, we're trying to figure it out. We're getting all kinds of legal advice to stop this because once they have the ballots, how do we then turn around and do something different when they've already got their hands on it?

So this is an attempt to take your vote away. This is all about November 2026, about the primary on May 19th and then the November election. He does not want the midterm election, to take away his power. So he's trying to create chaos. So this is what he does. Chaos in Minnesota, chaos in Fulton County.

We are a target. Protect your vote at all costs. I'm telling you, everybody always says your life depends on it. Oh, your life does depend on it this time. Okay. Can we break this down for just a second? Gosh, she's really panicking. But how is it so scary to say, gee, what happened?

Gee, were there anything here that we should like pay attention? to. I mean, there are indiscrepancies that we should be watching for. You know, don't forget, this went from a civil case actually to a criminal case because now the FBI is concerned that there was criminal activity. We don't know, but why can't you ask the question? If you guys have nothing to hide, then so be it. Okay? Like, don't worry about it. You got nothing to hide. You don't need to freak out. But if you do have something to hide, well, okay, I get it. I mean, so this is the concern. So there's a video circulating on acts that allegedly is someone walking through some of these ballots in Georgia, and they're explaining that some of them were sort of, I guess, copied, frankly, copied and

dropped in the, and granted, this would not have changed the election outcome, and that's why judges previously would never allow for any of this evidence to be examined, but now, given that we're not trying to change the outcome of the election here, we're just trying to say, hey, what went down and this has become, in fact, a criminal case, they're looking at stuff like this. And if you don't, and if you think that maybe that's, you know, if you think that maybe that's just a, you know, a mistake or, you know, or just a coincidence, here's the next one that shows, you can see Republican is written there, Republicans written there, this is ballot 61, this is ballot number two, and then each one of them even has this little dot in the Fannie Willis

Okay, and do you have more of those? We have the entire batch. I've got, there's 62 images in here total, and I didn't even get a chance to go through all of them, but these are the most obvious ones where it's clear that it's the same. Wow. This one's got the little tail on the side. Wild.

And so what happened, so do you know the numbers of these total batches? I don't remember what the totals were in one of the batches. I don't think they were, they weren't disparate. They were fairly close. but the simple fact that they occurred. So if you see that little bubble right there, this is one image, here's another image.

Exactly same. Exactly same. And the batch number, what is it, 5162? Well, so scanner 5162, batch number 235, image number 92, matches the same scanner, 5162, batch 234, image 33. So there you have it. Duplicate ballots.

The entire batch is scanned several. So that's what they're trying to figure out. Are there duplicates ballots there? And if you take this forward a little bit more, people have also alleged that maybe there were some illegal votes cast. And that's what they're trying to get to the bottom of, which is why it brings us full circle back to the legislation that is being debated now on Capitol Hill,

and that would be the Save Act, the Save Act that the Democrats are losing their minds over. Oh, my goodness. Chuckie Schumer, he just can't. imagine a world in which you actually have to show up with an ID to vote. I mean, despite the fact that the majority of the country is like, yes, please, let us bring an ID to vote. I mean, even the mainstream media, the liberal mainstream media is all over, Chuckie on this,

kind of saying, hey, you know, if you look at the data, it shows you the majority of Americans are all four IDs. Let's go first to the CNN poll. Harry Enten explaining it. Everyone wants it. Across both party lines, across all racial groups, everybody wants voter ID. So why are the Democrats so resistant? Take a look here.

Favorite photo ID to vote. 85% of white people favorite. 82% of Latino. 76% of black Americans favorite. So the bottom line is this. Voter ID is not controversial in this country. A photo ID to vote is not controversial in this country. It is not controversial by party and it is not controversial by race.

The vast majority of Americans agree with Nikki Minaj that, in fact, you should have a photo ID to be able to vote. So something of a non- I mean, it's not controversial. Okay, it's really and truly not controversial. And it's something that MSNBC even tried to point out to Jackie. So Leader Schumer, this talk about election security has revived discussions of the SAVE Act, which you have said you oppose. proponents of it say that it's

you know to have ID to prove US citizenship to be able to vote some of the claims they make to be clear are overstated we know there's not widespread election fraud but polling does suggest there's a new Pew Research poll that 95% of Republicans but also

71% of Democrats like this idea so why do you not it's Jim Crow 2.0 and I called it Jim Crow 2.0 and the right wing went nuts all over the internet, that's because they know it's true.

What they're trying to do here is the same thing that was done in the South for decades to prevent people of color from voting. For instance, if you change, you're a woman who got married and changed your last name, you won't be able to show ID and you'll be discriminated against. If you can't find a birth certificate or proper ID, you'll be discriminated against.

This is vicious and nasty, and I said to our... Okay, just saying, If you're here illegally, you might be discriminated against because, you know, it really shouldn't be voting, right? Public and colleagues, it will not pass the Senate. You will not get a single Democratic vote in the Senate. We're not reviving Jim Crow all over the country. Crow, I see you guys, some of you guys are like, well, what states don't allow it? I know that when I lived in New York, which is the state that Chuck Schumer is a senator in, guess what?

You know what? We never had to provide ID when we went to vote. thought it was the strangest thing in the world. I always worried. I'm like, is somebody actually, I better bring my ID because what if, like, I get there and they go and they go down the voter rolls and they've already checked my name off? Like, that would be kind of a problem. So, you know, what states don't need voter ID? I mean, there's plenty of them, and I think it's kind of basic, the blue ones, the serious, like, Uber blue ones. I think it's kind of basic to expect that people should have some voter ID. This came up.

again on CNN. And this one reporter, I showed you her earlier, she was kind of a little bit pushing Jacob Frey. So now we have Fry, however you say his name, and the Minneapolis mayor. And now she's out there pushing another representative. And it's like, wow, CNN trying to do its job. Amazing. Congressman, of course, the president's allies say that this is all about the SAVE Act, which would require voter ID, although a fairly stringent form of it. Voter ID is supported by the majority of Americans,

but there are Democrats on the Hill. You voted against this. Why not support voter ID? Well, look, first of all, this is not a problem that people are identifying or recognizing in the states. The states and local governments are perfectly capable of identifying

when there are problems. This is obviously being cooked up by Donald Trump to justify his persistent and utterly bogus claim that he won the 2020 election when Biden beat him by more than 7 million votes. But what's wrong with the SAVE Act? What's wrong with it is that it might violate the 19th Amendment, which gives women the right to vote, because you've got to show that all of your different IDs match. So if you're a woman who's gotten married and you've changed your name to your husband's name, but you're a woman who's gotten married, but your, so now your current name is different from your name at birth.

Now you've got to go ahead and document that. You need an affidavit explaining why. And why would we go to all of these troubles in order to keep people from voting when none of the states that are actually running the elections are telling us that there's any problem? Yeah, maybe because they like it the way it is, right? They're all blue states, by the way. Massachusetts, Minnesota. Minnesota, Hawaii, Illinois, Connecticut, Delaware, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, as I said, Nevada,

New Jersey, New Mexico, New York, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, Vermont, Washington. You don't need an ID to go and vote. And here they are. They're saying it's going to be Jim Crow, but then when you push them on it, they're like all about women. It's like, wait, is it Jim Crow or is it married women? Suddenly, now you're encouraging women to keep their names and we've got to protect married women. Like, when did you ever carry about, care about married women before? I'm sorry, I'm not buying

it, guys. I actually am one who thinks it's probably relevant to have an ID. Do you not have an ID for literally everything nowadays? I mean, how do you not have an ID? I mean, you can't get on a bus without an ID. You can't go to the doctor without an ID. You can't sign for FedEx sometimes without an ID. I mean, come on. Like, if you don't have an ID, I don't know what to tell you. Maybe you shouldn't be voting, right? Okay? Like, you ought to be able to get an ID. It's not that hard. So it does beg the question, why are they clinging to this, especially at a time when we know that they were bringing millions and millions of people in here as illegals with what? The intention that they would one day vote, dare I say? Right? If you haven't subscribed to the show,

Please make sure you do that right now. Really, really important. The left is flipping out because it turns out the Washington Post actually wants to earn a profit. Imagine a newspaper that is in business trying to make money, wanting to actually earn a profit. No, you can't. No, you don't understand. The left is like, but you are here to serve us and to serve our needs, which means you must be anti-Trump all the time. And how dare you lay off one third of the staff?

I mean, it is a very difficult, challenging new media landscape, and the Washington Post has basically gone the way of, well, the buggy, right? The horse and buggy. It's like it's no longer relevant for most people. Is it the first newspaper you read every morning? I doubt it. Okay? So maybe it just got a little too big and things have to change.

But just don't tell the Dems that. Oh, and the Libs, they're out protesting this one too. We do. Who makes the Post? We do, we do, we do, we do. So they're upset, they're losing their jobs. I mean, article after article after article, and all the liberal magazines, like The Atlantic is all upset.

You get Eugene Robinson, who used to be a Washington Post, is he a columnist, I believe, or some kind of editor, and he's now on MSNBC. And nice guy, actually. I've worked with him in the past and used to go on the Chris Matthews show quite a bit with him. Nice guy, but super liberal, okay, like a super liberal. And so he's got his view on things.

And watch, they're saying, is this just about money or is it about something more? I'm telling you, these people do not want anybody earning a profit. They're all a bunch of commies. That's the question. Is this about money or only about money? I would love to ask Jeff Bezos if this is only about money. Look, I got to say, for 10 years, he bought the paper in 2013. and for 10 years he was a model newspaper owner.

He was really the best you could even hope for because not only did he support the Post's journalism fearlessly, but he provided resources that allowed the paper to grow and allowed it ultimately to become profitable. And that was about three, four years ago, say. And then the paper ran into some financial difficulties. We had probably, in the year or two previous, probably grown a bit too fast.

And there wasn't really a plan for sustaining that path of growth. And so, yes, the paper has been losing money. But just one second, just to... It's been losing me. money, but don't worry about that, right? Because it's great journalism. They bash Trump all day long, and that's all we need to do. Who needs to earn a profit? Well, Jeff Bezos is no fool. What Jeff Bezos said when he, the day he bought the paper, he said, I don't think you can keep shrinking the business. You can be profitable and shrinking, and that's a survival strategy,

but it ultimately leads to irrelevance at best, and at worst, it leads to extinction. Now, those are his words, not mine, yet he seems to forget or abandon or renounce those words because these cuts are like nothing we have seen before and they will result in a radically different and lesser Washington Post. Whoa. Okay. So moral of the story, no, you can't make money. You can't make money in journalism because you are there to serve the left wing, not jobs. Okay. Nancy Pelosi reiterated this last night at some journalism event there in D.C. Listen to her. I free press cannot fulfill its mission if it is starved of its resources it needs to survive. And when the newsrooms are weakened, our republic is weakened with it.

By the way, is it me or is everybody like just going on about their business, just eating their dinner and not really caring about anything she's saying? I mean, you can hear all the clinking of the silverware. Cheers. Okay, Nancy, you keep going. Because democracy, because democracy dies in darkness. Are we all ready to say that together? Democracy dies in darkness. Democracy dies in darkness. Great, that can be your new chance, right? Oh, boy. Oh, boy. So, you. So, you. Yeah, Nancy, trying to rally the troops there, come up with a new slogan, Democracy Dies in Darkness. Look, it's a business like anything else, okay, guys, I'm sorry.

You're losing one of your key players. I realize it's like MSNBC going out of business. I don't know what you're going to do. You know, that was one of your favorite hotspots where you felt that you really had a voice. But it's a business, okay? And Jeff Bezos is a business person, and Jeff Bezos needs to make sure that the thing is solvent. And they get a focus on the areas that are actually growing. and it's not having, you know, a big sports desk.

Interestingly enough, you'd actually think that sports would do okay, but in this particular time with this genre, like, no, sports is not going to grow. They're not going to have as big an international desk. They're not going to have as big a travel desk. They need to actually rein in expenses and find other more economical ways to do all of this. I mean, I keep making the point. Here I am in my studio, which is just a very, very limited team. And, you know, I think about how I had tons in that.

tons and tons of producers and tech people and everything throughout my career. And this is a very different kind of animal, right? I love it. And it's very intimate and I get to see you and your comments and everything. And, you know, you're here for the good, bad and the ugly. Um, you know, occasionally the microphone goes out, but, you know, I fix it. It's a very, very different kind of genre here, what we're doing on YouTube and the podcast on Spotify. And I love it. I love every bit of it. But it's drastically different. And the economic of it are incredibly different, right? You don't have to employ 40 people. So it's a different model. And the problem for some of these bigger legacy businesses, including newspapers, is that they're

not adapting. They can adapt. They have newsrooms that are very rigid, people that are very stuck in their ways. You have only to look at what's going on at CBS to see that right now in real time. I mean, Barry Wise can't get to first base with these people because they have their way of doing things. And that's all that they will accept, period, end of story. And so she's going to find yourself having to basically fire the entire newsroom before it's all said and done, which, you know, you might say, okay, great. David Ellison wants to reinvent news. He wants to reinvent how people get their news. The problem is you bought a frickin' legacy business. And I don't think you can do a lot with a legacy business like that because you get too many legacy people that aren't willing,

ready, able to change, they're not nimble. They're set in their ways, including their sort of TDS bias. And it is TDS. It's anything he wants to do, anything at all. They're automatically, going to say this is the worst thing ever. My son is doing a project at school, and he's reading a biography on Harriet's Truman. And so I was looking at this biography. It was David McCullough who had written it, and it's like this big, big, thick biography.

And I said to my husband, do you think they'll ever, ever give a fair biographical representation of Donald Trump? We kind of laughed about it. I'm like, maybe, you know, maybe in, you know, I don't know, 50 or 100 years. I actually think he's going to go down as one of the best presidents ever

who had tremendous foresight and saw the future effectively right upon our doorstep and helped America move forward as we come up on the 250th anniversary, right? We want to make another 250. And so you've got to be enacting the right kinds of policies in the here and now to do that. But the left is so vitriolic. They are so rigid. They are so unwilling to compromise and they are so willing to take this to the umph degree. I mean, the guy's a Nazi is. A Nazi is. as they're concerned. I'm sorry, but like, you cannot, you cannot keep saying this. You cannot say he's a racist. He's a Nazi. For goodness sake, his daughter's Jewish, right? She converted. I'm sick of it. And I think overall Americans are sick of it. The problem is we've got midterms coming up,

all right? And he's not on the ballot, and that's hard, because when he's on the ballot, everybody comes out in droves. So how do you, and how do you excite people? I think this is going to be the real challenge, and I'm glad that they're going to be doing the big, what are we, the convention, right? The convention, I think that's going to be really helpful to try and help motivate people for sure. But without a doubt, the media business is cooked, okay? Cooked. It's a good thing I'm over here. I just wish I came earlier. By the way, make sure you subscribe, share, like, all that stuff. I just want to give a shout out to one of my former colleagues, Savannah Guthrie. This story is absolutely just heinous, absolutely horrendous. I feel terrible for her. I feel terrible for her family.

It is just a really, really awful, awful, awful situation. Savannah Guthrie releasing a post on Instagram last night that actually had me basically on the brink of tears. I mean, this is just so horrible for any family to have to go through. And the president had spoken to her early in the afternoon, and he sent out a true social post about it. He also spoke, let me briefly show you what he said yesterday on Savannah Guthrie, and then we'll get to Savannah and the Instagram post,

where she has indicated that she's willing to work with these people that are demanding a ransom. But first to the president. Have you been briefed on Savannah Guthrie's mom missing in Arizona? I think it's terrible. Would you commit to more federal agents like helping out on the same? Sure, I wouldn't. I'd been to call her later on. I think it's a terrible thing.

I always got along very good with Savannah. Very unusual situation, but we're going to find out. It is an unusual situation. you know TMZ got a ransom note just yesterday, and then we learned today that allegedly there was a deadline of 5 o'clock tonight, and they said, you have to meet the deadline with the transfer of Bitcoin. Of course, Bitcoin's going up in smoke, right, in value, right, in real time. So I imagine the Bitcoin demand is going up as we speak, but they were demanding Bitcoin, and the family came out in issue to statement. I want to point out that the brother, just a short time ago, actually said

again, that they're willing to talk. I'll quote from what he just said. This would be Cameron Guthrie, who you'll see in the video with his sister, Savannah, and his other sister. They're begging for his mom, Nancy's return. But he said, whoever is out there holding our mother, we want to hear from you. We haven't heard anything directly. In other words, they sent these ransom notes demanding millions of dollars for the mother's release, but they were only sent to local news stations as well as TMZ. So what was that about? Let's go to Savannah's very just heartbreaking response last night. Just, you know, terrible, terrible stuff. And there's not a lot you can say in a moment like this. And I hate to speculate too much because there's a lot

we don't know, but let's at least hear from her and her siblings. On behalf of our family, we want to thank all of you for the prayers for our beloved mom. Nancy. We feel them and we continue to believe that she feels them too. Our mom is a kind, faithful, loyal, fiercely loving woman of goodness and light. She is funny, spunky and clever. She has grandchildren that adore her and crowd around her and cover her with kisses. She loves fun and adventure. She is a devoted friend. She is full of kindness and knowledge.

Talk to her and you'll see. The light is missing from our lives. Nancy is our mother. We are her children. She is our beacon. She holds fast to joy in all of life's circumstances. She chooses joy day after day. Despite having already passed through great trials of pain and grief,

we are always going to be merely human, just normal human people who need our mom. Mama, if you're listening, we need you to come home. We miss you. Our mom is our heart. and our home. She is 84 years old. Her health, her heart is fragile. She lives in constant.

So at this hour right now, we don't really have much more information other than the family has reached out via these public forums to try to negotiate there with the people that are allegedly holding her for ransom, but there's no proof of life they asked in that video for some kind of

proof of life. They don't have that. Savannah Guthrie making the point that in today's day and age with AI, you can kind of take anyone's image and the mother had appeared quite often on the Today Show with her daughter. And so she was known, I guess, to the audience. I know that the investigators are looking at people that may have been sort of overly aggressive fans that were sending her stuff, you know, to the studio, et cetera. So that's one avenue that they're pursuing. It's, you know, it's sort of mind-boggling and it's very mysterious. You heard that. the presidents say a very, very strange case and that they're putting all these resources on it. We saw last night that there were all these FBI choppers and the FBI descended on her mother's

residence there in Arizona. But here we are, you know, this many days later, I think it's been four or five days and we have no real leads as far as what we're hearing on this side of things. The expectation is it's somebody who probably knew her and knew the house because they did actually cut the security cameras. So that's concerning. It happened in the dead of the night. They had some blood that was found outside the home, and so they do believe there's some foul play, and something precarious happened. But again, the families pointed out she needs her medicine. She has a heart condition, et cetera, and they don't know how much longer she can make it without the proper medicine. One would imagine, again, Savannah Guthrie is obviously highly

experienced in the media. And one would imagine that I think one of the reasons she put that out there was to make sure that she was communicating somehow with these ransom kidnappers because she wanted them to know, listen, my mom needs this medicine. And so, hey, if you're going to keep her alive, you're going to make sure that you do that. Local news stations getting this, the TMZ getting it. I don't know what to think because my thought on this is, hey, you know, if you're somebody who is trying to gain something out of this, even if you had nothing to do with it, you might go out there and say, oh, well, let me just throw this ransom note to TMZ in the hope and a prayer that maybe I get something out of the family, who knows.

But this is what TMZ unveiled just yesterday afternoon. So we got something in our email that looks like a, it's written like a ransom note for Savannah Guthrie's mother. specific requests for certain amounts of money, very specific. And also they say at the bottom, there are certain things they're saying about what she was wearing and damage to the house. That they're clearly saying to verify that we know

what we're talking about here. So we have contacted the sheriff's department and we want to get them this letter. And we had a little trouble getting through to the right person, but the person we spoke with is now, forwarding this to somebody in the detective bureau. So if my phone rings, I may have to stop and... What's interesting is, you know, there was just a news conference that just ended with the sheriff.

And he was asked about... We're going to do this segment in a few minutes, but he was asked about a ransom note, and he just said, we're following all leads. Yeah, and this is... Again, we don't know if it's authentic or not. If it's authentic or not. But there... When you read it...

it, they're acting as if, yeah, only we would know these things, and we're serious. And there's a dollar demand and an or else in there. So we will let you know as this thing kind of develops. It's peculiar, right, that they sent it to TMZ, except that I think they probably knew TMZ would indeed publish it rather than take it straight to the FBI. And so maybe that was the method to the madness, if they had sent it perhaps directly to the Today Show itself, the Today Show might have, out of respect, obviously for Savannah, have taken that straight to authorities and waited for some kind of, you know, green light to move forward with the story. So I think that maybe that's why they took it to TMZ and the local news media. I'm not entirely

sure, but it's just god-awful stuff, right? And we wish her and her family all the best. It's a mystery that's certainly captivating the nation and everybody's thoughts and prayers are with her right now my very best to her and to her entire family listen it's great to have you guys here i hate to end on such a sad darn note right i mean what a way to end the show oh my goodness and oh i see gimsley girl you've you haven't forgotten how she treated president chomple i you know i actually had forgotten that i didn't think it was as awful as say i don't know nor ronald's treatment of him or Margaret Brennan's treatment of him. So, you know, as far as, or even the woman who now hosts meet the press, I've seen some pretty, we're like, we've got PTSD though, right? We're like,

we're like abused, abused victims because he's been treated so badly by so many members of the media that if, you know, you're just not that bad, then it's like, oh, okay. Anyway, it's great to have you guys all here. Thank you for tuning in. Ilhan. Omar, I think justice is coming to you, lady. Watch out, watch out. Good to see you guys. I'll see you back on the show live again tomorrow. Don't forget Spotify. Go check that one out too.
