Duration: 31:19


=== Senator Blackburn's Fraud Allegations (04:30) ===

[00:00:01]  New legislation is hitting the halls of Congress, not just at Congress, but in the House of Representatives, also over at the Senate.
[00:00:10]  They really want Ilhan Omar gone.
[00:00:13]  I think we all do too.
[00:00:15]  Welcome to the show, everyone.
[00:00:16]  Good to have you here.
[00:00:17]  I'm Trish Regan, and we've got big news.
[00:00:18]  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.
[00:00:32]  And most especially if it's government fraud.
[00:00:36]  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.
[00:00:45]  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.
[00:00:53]  And Senator Marsha Blackburn announcing today that $750 million has been stolen from American taxpayers, and she wants something done about it now, including deportations.
[00:01:07]  And removal of citizenship for anyone who engaged in this fraud.
[00:01:11]  Listen.
[00:01:12]  Soda is probably up to $19 billion, is what we're hearing.
[00:01:17]  And then Dr. Oz has uncovered all of this fraud in healthcare and hospice in California.
[00:01:24]  And that is being investigated.
[00:01:26]  We're getting reports.
[00:01:28]  Every senator is getting reports about fraudulent activity defrauding the state and federal government.
[00:01:36]  So I have filed the Immigration and Nationality Act update.
[00:01:40]  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.
[00:01:51]  If you are in this country on a work visa, a green card, permanent residence, or naturalized as a citizen, this will trigger a denaturalization and deportation hearing for you.
[00:02:06]  And it cleans up that.
[00:02:08]  It makes all fraud something that is a felony offense.
[00:02:14]  Again, Marsha Blackburn announcing that legislation today.
[00:02:17]  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.
[00:02:23]  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.
[00:02:34]  I want to go to David Hawk because he clearly outlined just exactly.
[00:02:39]  What's at stake right now?
[00:02:42]  Every one of these facilities is located in a commercial or industrial building.
[00:02:45]  No play areas, bad neighborhoods, and several of the child care facilities had signage which stated they were open either 7 a.m. to 10 p.m., 2 p.m. to 10 p.m., quality leering center, for example, or open 24 hours.
[00:03:00]  Who the heck brings their kid to stay overnight at a child care facility in a rough neighborhood?
[00:03:04]  None of it made any sense.
[00:03:06]  The leering misspelling was the final straw for me.
[00:03:10]  That's the spark that ignited my full-on investigation.
[00:03:14]  Wow.
[00:03:14]  And we learned all kinds of things.
[00:03:16]  Remember?
[00:03:16]  I mean, the Learning Center.
[00:03:18]  Yeah, he's right.
[00:03:19]  That was one of the best examples, most egregious examples of just how bad this had gotten.
[00:03:23]  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.
[00:03:32]  They claimed to operate 24 hours a day.
[00:03:35]  They were licensed, for example, for 99 children.
[00:03:38]  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.
[00:03:46]  sufficient for say 99 children.
[00:03:48]  So why would you give them the license to operate in the first place?
[00:03:50]  Multiple child cares were found to be registered at the same address and yet only one daycare name on the sign.
[00:03:57]  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.
[00:04:05]  But they're bilking the government and the U.S. taxpayer for all that money for all those daycares that don't exist.
[00:04:10]  You had misspelled signage, of course, Leering Center being quite infamous at this point.
[00:04:14]  And then the same fraud they're looking at now in Maine.
[00:04:18]  Yeah, up by Bates College, if anybody's spent any time there.
[00:04:21]  Also Washington State, Ohio.
[00:04:24]  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.

=== Discrepancies in Obama and Trump Cases (08:50) ===

[00:04:32]  Second largest Somali population as well.
[00:04:34]  So none of this is adding up.
[00:04:36]  And we know, again, Marshall Blackburn pointing out that the fraud estimate has gone up to $750 million nationwide.
[00:04:43]  We know that there are states like California where they're looking at the hospices.
[00:04:46]  Those are a big concern.
[00:04:47]  But of course, Minnesota being at the sort of forefront of all of it, which is why you have her now saying, hey, we've got to take this more seriously.
[00:04:56]  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.
[00:05:06]  Now, this echoes what we saw from Representative Emmer most recently over in the House of Representatives.
[00:05:13]  He also is introducing some similar legislation.
[00:05:17]  Watch.
[00:05:18]  We're expanding and clarifying existing law to include anyone who comes to this country and defrauds the generosity of Americans and our government.
[00:05:27]  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.
[00:05:34]  It was $250 million.
[00:05:36]  Over 90 people were charged, and 85 of them are from the Somali community.
[00:05:42]  If you come to this country, and I understand that in Somalia, you got to lie, cheat, and steal just to survive.
[00:05:48]  But if you come to this country and you continue to lie, cheat, and steal, you should not be allowed to maintain your citizenship.
[00:05:55]  You should be denaturalized and shipped back to where you came from.
[00:05:59]  And by the way, that would include marriage fraud.
[00:06:02]  Oh, okay.
[00:06:03]  So that was a pretty direct hit at her.
[00:06:05]  He kind of went where Marsha maybe wasn't quite willing to go and called her out entirely.
[00:06:11]  One for the marriage fraud.
[00:06:12]  And we can talk about that because that actually is a big, big deal.
[00:06:14]  And they could get her right now.
[00:06:16]  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.
[00:06:30]  If this, in fact, can be proven out, and by the way, you don't need a DNA sample to do this.
[00:06:35]  You could actually go back and talk to community leaders.
[00:06:38]  You could go back and get information from, for example, her original filings, his original filings.
[00:06:44]  There may be some discrepancies in there.
[00:06:46]  If that actually proves out.
[00:06:47]  Boom, presto, she's gone already.
[00:06:49]  Okay, that's enough.
[00:06:50]  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?
[00:06:58]  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 and millions of dollars, well, they don't quite have the recourse yet.
[00:07:09]  That's what they're concerned about.
[00:07:10]  Maybe you get around marriage fraud.
[00:07:12]  You might be able to get around that because you actually can't misrepresent your own U.S. citizenship.
[00:07:18]  To then go and use that to have somebody else come into this country that shouldn't be legitimately here.
[00:07:24]  So that's one way they could get her, but they really want to make sure that they have something concrete.
[00:07:30]  Again, let me go back to Representative Emmer, who's effectively joining the Senate, right?
[00:07:34]  The two of them, you've got the Senate with one bill and you've got Emmer with another.
[00:07:38]  Here we go.
[00:07:39]  This law would just provide that that is a basis to denaturalize, take away your citizenship, and ship you back.
[00:07:47]  And part of this is because.
[00:07:49]  I've got a representative in Minnesota, Ilhan Omar, who likes to go on national programs and play the victim.
[00:07:56]  Yet the same representative goes to the University of Minnesota campus and, in reality, encourages violence against Jewish students.
[00:08:05]  And she says, hey, we're citizens.
[00:08:07]  There's nothing you can do about it.
[00:08:08]  Well, guess what?
[00:08:10]  There is something that we should be able to do about it.
[00:08:12]  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.
[00:08:19]  If you commit fraud, you should be denaturalized and shipped back.
[00:08:24]  Wow.
[00:08:25]  Okay.
[00:08:25]  So that's the consensus right now.
[00:08:28]  And I think pretty much everybody would agree with that.
[00:08:29]  I mean, other than the Democrats and maybe Ilhan Omar herself.
[00:08:32]  Ilhan Omar, who doesn't want you looking at anything, right?
[00:08:35]  including any of her husband's indiscretions.
[00:08:39]  Somehow they just want ICE to go away.
[00:08:41]  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.
[00:08:51]  They want to shift that away to, oh, big bad ICE.
[00:08:54]  And big bad ICE is killing people in the streets, et cetera.
[00:08:56]  Forget about the fact that you've got people who are criminals in jails.
[00:08:59]  They're finally actually able to go into the jails.
[00:09:02]  Imagine that.
[00:09:02]  Thank you, Tom Homan.
[00:09:03]  They're now able to go into the jails and get the bad guys.
[00:09:07]  And they're, as we understand it, cooperating with ICE, finally.
[00:09:10]  And yet you've got these crazies, right?
[00:09:13]  I don't know how else to describe them.
[00:09:15]  All the women from the squad, and there's like a new member there I see.
[00:09:19]  They're out there trying to say that ICE is this horrible, awful, awful thing.
[00:09:22]  And that, by the way, gins up a whole other set of controversies that really aids itself in terms of these protests, et cetera.
[00:09:30]  But back to the real story, because the real story is the fraud.
[00:09:32]  And by the way, I think the real story is just exactly what the hubby, Timmy Minette, was doing.
[00:09:37]  with all his little businesses.
[00:09:39]  I mean, Tim Waltz admitted it, right?
[00:09:40]  The other day he said on a podcast, yeah, we had some fraud.
[00:09:43]  Ooh, some people did something.
[00:09:45]  We had people steal from us.
[00:09:47]  We've got folks try to make hay out of this.
[00:09:49]  Absolutely.
[00:09:50]  We're still getting court cases that we're moving forward.
[00:09:53]  We've got a lot of folks that have now, I think, put those program integrity pieces in place.
[00:10:00]  I'm feeling really good about that.
[00:10:03]  This is, again, look, we have a well-run state.
[00:10:05]  We have high quality of life.
[00:10:06]  We did have people steal.
[00:10:08]  We're now seeing other states had that too.
[00:10:10]  But I said I didn't run to be called the governor.
[00:10:13]  I ran to do the job.
[00:10:14]  That's what I'm doing right now.
[00:10:15]  And I'm really proud.
[00:10:16]  You know, we had some fraud.
[00:10:20]  Some people stole from us.
[00:10:21]  We're seeing that they stole in a whole bunch of other states, too.
[00:10:24]  But, you know, that's not really the story.
[00:10:25]  Don't look here because the real problem is ICE.
[00:10:28]  Whoa, guys.
[00:10:28]  All right.
[00:10:29]  I'm sorry.
[00:10:29]  That's not the real problem.
[00:10:30]  We know what the real problem is.
[00:10:32]  ICE is trying to clean things up.
[00:10:34]  And if you guys would work with ICE, maybe we could actually be on a better path to a better future.
[00:10:38]  For goodness sakes, Barack Obama, OK?
[00:10:40]  He sent more people home than any other president in history, more than President Trump, in fact.
[00:10:46]  And yet these guys don't want to admit it.
[00:10:49]  They want to ignore that reality.
[00:10:50]  Why?
[00:10:51]  Because it's politically expedient for them.
[00:10:52]  And don't forget, things have changed since Obama.
[00:10:54]  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.
[00:11:07]  And so Obama was trying to protect against that.
[00:11:09]  But the funny thing happened on the way to the forum.
[00:11:11]  What did they figure out?
[00:11:12]  They figured out, oh, I guess we don't have enough people in blue states that are going to vote for us.
[00:11:18]  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.
[00:11:28]  Listen to this.
[00:11:29]  Jacob Fry, the mayor of Minneapolis, speaking on CNN.
[00:11:33]  And the CNN reporter is like trying to go there and trying to go there.
[00:11:36]  You know, it's killing her to do it.
[00:11:37]  But the bosses must be saying, you know, we need to be a little bit more measured.
[00:11:40]  Have a little bit more, you know, to each side.
[00:11:43]  Walk it down the straight and narrow.
[00:11:44]  Try and push some of these people on.
[00:11:46]  Some of these questions, and she can barely get the question out, right?
[00:11:49]  Like she hates herself for asking this question.
[00:11:51]  But then he completely diverts away from giving any kind of answer.
[00:11:54]  The mayor of Minneapolis, ladies and gentlemen, Jacob Fry.
[00:11:59]  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.
[00:12:09]  So the policy has clearly been under a Democratic president what now the Trump administration is asking for.
[00:12:16]  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.
[00:12:27]  And again, this only happens after.
[00:12:28]  She asked the question, but watch how she backtracks.served their time for whatever crime they may have committed against the people of Minnesota.
[00:12:40]  I mean, look, you're asking all the right questions here.
[00:12:42]  And while I don't have full expertise in how the operations at the jail are conducted, again, that's not our jurisdiction.
[00:12:51]  What I would say is that there are. mechanisms to do this lawfully.
[00:12:58]  Right.
[00:12:58]  In other words, the mechanism would be that you cooperate with federal officials.
[00:13:03]  They have supremacy here, period.
[00:13:06]  End of story.
[00:13:07]  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.
[00:13:18]  I mean, like, that makes any sense.
[00:13:19]  They're here illegally.
[00:13:20]  They've committed a crime and they get to walk free.

=== Santa Rosa Winery Investigation (07:20) ===

[00:13:22]  I mean, gosh, if you're a regular old American, you're not going to get that kind of treatment, right?
[00:13:26]  It makes literally no sense.
[00:13:28]  And she's pointing this out to him.
[00:13:30]  Hey, you know, Barack Obama didn't do anything different.
[00:13:32]  Why is it different now?
[00:13:33]  Because, because it's Donald Trump, you see.
[00:13:36]  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.
[00:13:47]  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.
[00:14:02]  He left his wife for her.
[00:14:04]  Okay.
[00:14:05]  You think of that what you will.
[00:14:11]  So he leaves his wife for her.
[00:14:12]  And on the day they announce the marriage, they also announce that she's introducing legislation for the $250 million feeding our future.
[00:14:21]  And again, this guy is not exactly a winner because he's had a history of serious complaints.
[00:14:28]  I mean, fraud after fraud case.
[00:14:30]  He's been sued for fraud multiple times.
[00:14:32]  We're going to get to that in a second, but this is why she is now very much in focus.
[00:14:36]  They're concerned that she's been using her husband's company as some kind of money laundering op.
[00:14:40]  I mean, the winery, for goodness sakes.
[00:14:43]  The winery.
[00:14:43]  What do they say?
[00:14:44]  You know, the best way to make a few million is to start with many million and then have a winery.
[00:14:50]  Usually you lose money in these things.
[00:14:51]  So it's a good place to lose money if you're trying to do some money laundering, right?
[00:14:55]  I'm just saying it's one of the easiest ways.
[00:14:57]  And he's had a few of these things.
[00:14:59]  You know, he had the cannabis company.
[00:15:00]  He had the winery company.
[00:15:01]  He's got the private. venture capital firm that allegedly has $60 billion under management.
[00:15:07]  Is $60 billion my you know what?
[00:15:09]  Come on.
[00:15:10]  I mean, that is absolute fiction if I ever heard it.
[00:15:14]  I mean, he ought to be like stopped right then and there.
[00:15:18]  He's got a website where he says he has $60 billion under management.
[00:15:21]  I mean, it's absolutely wrong.
[00:15:22]  It's totally fraudulent.
[00:15:24]  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.
[00:15:33]  And here's what she found.
[00:15:35]  Effectively, no winery.
[00:15:38]  See, this is Sweet B again.
[00:15:40]  That is the address where Ilhan Omar's winery is.
[00:15:43]  You can see that a different winery is here, punched down to cellars.
[00:15:47]  What does this note say?
[00:15:48]  E Street Crew does not make wine here.
[00:15:50]  They were a client many years ago and have seized operation.
[00:15:55]  Their operating address is linked to this address, like all other client wineries, because of state and federal filings.
[00:16:03]  So, I wonder what else they have to show for it.
[00:16:07]  What do you think about that?
[00:16:08]  I think they're just trying to keep as much distance between them and their business and Elon and Walmart as much as possible.
[00:16:17]  Yeah.
[00:16:17]  You guys, just do a little more research before.
[00:16:18]  Well, yeah, that's what we're kind of doing right now.
[00:16:20]  Would you be so kind to tell us?
[00:16:21]  Do you know what this place is?
[00:16:23]  No, that's why we came here.
[00:16:24]  It's a custom crush place.
[00:16:25]  A bunch of people use it.
[00:16:26]  Okay.
[00:16:27]  Right?
[00:16:27]  So it's like renting instead of owning.
[00:16:29]  Yeah.
[00:16:29]  Oh, I see.
[00:16:31]  So there's like about 40 of us in here making wine.
[00:16:35]  Yeah, yeah.
[00:16:36]  We're just trying to like just.
[00:16:37]  Figure out what is really going on.
[00:16:40]  We see that.
[00:16:40]  It's not just call.
[00:16:42]  Call because there's nothing going on.
[00:16:44]  The pastor told us that Punch Down Cellars makes wine for 14 different.
[00:16:50]  They don't make wine.
[00:16:52]  They crush it and you hold it.
[00:16:54]  No, we, winemakers, make wine in the same facility.
[00:17:00]  Oh, cool.
[00:17:00]  Which, because we, my family, we've been part of like members of like certain wineries and stuff.
[00:17:06]  So is there like a high end brand that you guys like pulled for or anything like that?
[00:17:12]  No, I don't own the place.
[00:17:15]  Okay.
[00:17:15]  I'm just one of the winemakers here.
[00:17:17]  And there's a bunch of us under one roof.
[00:17:19]  Awesome.
[00:17:20]  That's all.
[00:17:20]  What's your winery's name?
[00:17:21]  I'm not going to get into it.
[00:17:22]  Okay.
[00:17:23]  It's not that much.
[00:17:24]  Oh, yeah.
[00:17:25]  Obviously.
[00:17:27]  He didn't really seem very happy.
[00:17:28]  No.
[00:17:29]  Do they have people coming to check this place out or something that they needed to put a sign on it?
[00:17:33]  I mean, probably I haven't noticed.
[00:17:35]  I would imagine so, because I mean that company's being okay.
[00:17:39]  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.
[00:17:47]  So Punchdown Sellers, which is apparently the address that was listed, is some kind of I don't know.
[00:17:52]  Let's think of this like a compound pharmacy or just like an off-label brand.
[00:17:57]  Right they, they just make a ton of wine, I guess, and you put your label on it.
[00:18:01]  You can go in there and tweak it yourself.
[00:18:03]  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.
[00:18:08]  I kind of wonder if this was like the business that actually sued him.
[00:18:12]  There was another business that came forward and said, hey, you know, we made all this wine for you.
[00:18:16]  We were getting all these grapes for you.
[00:18:17]  $900,000 later, we don't have our payment.
[00:18:20]  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.
[00:18:29]  Again, punch down sellers getting dragged into this.
[00:18:32]  There was an article I found back in the New York Times in 2018.
[00:18:35]  Maybe.
[00:18:36]  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?
[00:18:43]  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, great vehicle, apparently, just a great vehicle.
[00:18:53]  And you find something like this, and then you can say you've got this winery, da-da-da-da-da.
[00:18:57]  Anyway, the art of winemaking on the cheap.
[00:19:00]  Young producers with little money and no vineyards face obstacles in building their businesses, but with maximum effort, it can be done.
[00:19:07]  So he didn't have any land.
[00:19:08]  He didn't have any wine.
[00:19:10]  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.
[00:19:22]  And so that's what you see when you go back and you look at these filings.
[00:19:24]  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.
[00:19:34]  I was calling it Estcrew or something because I was trying to get a little French flair.
[00:19:37]  It's just E. Street.
[00:19:38]  Okay.
[00:19:38]  So E. Street Winery is, maybe that's like Easy Street.
[00:19:43]  Easy Street, Easy Street.
[00:19:47]  That's a song from Annie.
[00:19:49]  My first introduction to economics, learning about FDR in the 1930s.
[00:19:54]  And by the way, it's a fabulous play.
[00:19:57]  Fabulous, fabulous play.
[00:19:59]  But it's not the whole story.
[00:20:00]  I think for the whole story, you've got to go read Amity Schley's book, The Forgotten Man, about the Great Depression.
[00:20:05]  But I digress.
[00:20:05]  Back to the filing form here.
[00:20:07]  We've got the filing form for E Street, Easy Street Winery.
[00:20:12]  E Street Crew, it was called.
[00:20:14]  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.
[00:20:22]  So what's that about?
[00:20:23]  Okay, Santa Rosa, California, again, you saw the place in Santa Rosa.
[00:20:26]  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.
[00:20:37]  So again, lots of questions.
[00:20:39]  You know, I want to go back to another fraud case.

=== The Hawala Scheme Returns (10:36) ===

[00:20:42]  They sued him.
[00:20:43]  This one guy, Namib Mode, alleged he was promised $200,000.
[00:20:47]  Percent returns again, heads up go, go check my financial website, 76research.com.
[00:20:52]  If you're interested in investing 200 returns.
[00:20:55]  Like, do not trust that.
[00:20:56]  If anybody ever offers you 200 returns, you run as fast as you can.
[00:21:00]  This guy should have run so far from Ilhan and Timmy Meinet, but you know he's thinking my network's gonna go up.
[00:21:06]  But Timmy Meinet, what do you know?
[00:21:08]  200 returns, yeah right, 300 000.
[00:21:10]  He had to put down for those 200 returns and he actually made a complaint and he sued him.
[00:21:16]  He said that he was allegedly misled by this Timmy Minot and his partner and the principal of his money had been gone.
[00:21:25]  Eventually it was repaid, but they had to go through litigation.
[00:21:29]  And Minot says, oh, this is just contract dispute.
[00:21:32]  This is not actually fraud.
[00:21:34]  This guy was saying it's fraud.
[00:21:36]  I mean, there's just been a little too much of this.
[00:21:38]  Again, I go back to you had me at $60 billion assets under management.
[00:21:42]  There's no way he has $60 billion.
[00:21:44]  I said this before.
[00:21:46]  In fact, yesterday I was like, look, if he has $60 billion at this so-called venture capital firm, which look at this.
[00:21:52]  This is the front of it.
[00:21:53]  Executive partnerships for global operators.
[00:21:55]  That's not a venture capital firm.
[00:21:57]  That's what you call a lobbying firm that's working in 80 different countries.
[00:22:02]  $60 billion assets under management as though it's one of the largest venture capital firms around?
[00:22:08]  I don't think so.
[00:22:10]  I don't think so.
[00:22:11]  So that's a lie.
[00:22:12]  And, you know, why is she being viewed as a potential money launderer?
[00:22:18]  Well, you have the Hawala community within Minneapolis.
[00:22:22]  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.
[00:22:31]  I did a story years ago that was nominated for an ME, 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.
[00:22:47]  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.
[00:23:02]  And it was all coming from this little Tancía del Este, Paraguay, in this like jungle area that bordered Argentina, Brazil, and Paraguay.
[00:23:12]  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.
[00:23:18]  So it makes it harder for Treasury to go out and find all of this.
[00:23:21]  So I'm assuming, given that we know $700 million went in suitcases, this is what they told us about.
[00:23:28]  This is what they actually declared to the TSA.
[00:23:30]  It's the most money of any, any airport in all of America coming right out of Minneapolis.
[00:23:35]  Given that we know that, and it happened over two years, $700 million between 24 and 25 going over to the Middle East.
[00:23:43]  Dubai was one of the most frequent locations.
[00:23:46]  These are these Hawala money transfers.
[00:23:49]  So they do take this cash and they operate in cash.
[00:23:51]  And there's a reason they operate in cash, by the way.
[00:23:54]  Typically, in these cases, the organization that's doing the illicit stuff, the terror organization, is taking a percentage off the top.
[00:24:02]  So you've got concerns about al-Shabaab terror financing coming right out of Minneapolis and out of who?
[00:24:08]  The U.S. taxpayer.
[00:24:10]  Okay, so this is why this is such a big deal.
[00:24:12]  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 and you layer it, you shuffle it, you have all these different things within there.
[00:24:26]  And then you have basically the ability to extract clean wealth on the other end.
[00:24:30]  And this is the fear between the venture capital firm operating in 80 different countries and, of course, this so-called winery.
[00:24:38]  People are suspicious.
[00:24:40]  Here's what we know.
[00:24:42]  She went from zero to anywhere between six and $30 million in a year.
[00:24:46]  I don't know many people that go from zero to 30 without having a legitimate business.
[00:24:52]  Yeah, do you?
[00:24:54]  I don't.
[00:24:56]  I'll tell you.
[00:24:57]  On top of which, the guy doesn't pay his taxes.
[00:25:02]  $403,000 per Forbes.
[00:25:05]  Look at that.
[00:25:05]  He did not pay for this venture capital firm.
[00:25:09]  I don't know how this really happens.
[00:25:13]  Now, you can't ask her about this.
[00:25:14]  Don't forget, if you ask her about it, she says you're a racist.
[00:25:17]  This is so bad.
[00:25:18]  You're trying to say that I can't have my shot at the American dream.
[00:25:22]  I'm just going to say she married a loser.
[00:25:25]  He's kind of a loser.
[00:25:27]  He's had multiple fraud allegations.
[00:25:30]  He was in the cannabis business before he got into the winery business.
[00:25:33]  So a good Muslim woman, you know, in the winery and cannabis business.
[00:25:37]  I don't know what to say about that.
[00:25:38]  But even in the cannabis business, he was being accused of fraud and taking investors' funds.
[00:25:45]  And, you know, this is one big fat loser of a guy.
[00:25:49]  I don't know how else to say it.
[00:25:51]  And, you know, we all know it.
[00:25:53]  And she's a loser too, frankly, as far as I'm concerned.
[00:25:55]  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.
[00:26:09]  And then, well, so why is she wearing the hijab?
[00:26:11]  I mean, don't tease us, okay?
[00:26:14]  I don't think you're really very Muslim.
[00:26:17]  There's another word for it called crooked.
[00:26:20]  And that's why we have to have an investigation into this.
[00:26:22]  As you know, the Biden administration started to examine her finances and that of her husband.
[00:26:28]  And so, surprise, surprise, that investigation went nowhere.
[00:26:32]  But it's amazing how people can go into Congress and then become these entrepreneurial investing geniuses where they come in.
[00:26:38]  She had under $1,000 of net worth and her husband didn't have much and suddenly now they're multimillionaires.
[00:26:44]  Is there a money laundering operation here?
[00:26:47]  And in terms of the firms themselves, They have a sketchy background.
[00:26:53]  That winery in California that she and her husband own, where did that come from?
[00:26:58]  Where's the wine there?
[00:26:59]  And nobody can seem to find it.
[00:27:01]  So there's a lot of smelly stuff here.
[00:27:04]  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.
[00:27:12]  And that is steal it, steal it from the taxpayers.
[00:27:15]  And so there's a lot of stuff here.
[00:27:17]  And so when somebody cloaks themselves in the American Dream, and so you have numbers like this, from minus 1,000 to 30, 40 million.
[00:27:25]  you know something is not right.
[00:27:27]  Yeah, unbelievable.
[00:27:28]  By the way, Steve's going to come on the show with us next week, so you'll hear more from him.
[00:27:33]  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.
[00:27:39]  Crazy Vol, crazy Vol, Don Baca.
[00:27:42]  I know Silver, he said up to 80 and then down, way down.
[00:27:45]  Bitcoin's been all over the place.
[00:27:46]  I was looking at Bitcoin right now.
[00:27:48]  It's down below 68,000.
[00:27:49]  So, wow, wild, wild ride.
[00:27:51]  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.
[00:27:57]  If you're interested in making money, oh, I don't know, the real old-fashioned way, I really do encourage you to go and check out our portfolios there at 76research.com.
[00:28:05]  76research.com, that's my investment research firm where, yeah, we're not like Ilhan, shall we say.
[00:28:15]  You're not going to, and nobody's promised you 200% returns.
[00:28:19]  But you know what?
[00:28:19]  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 bad.
[00:28:32]  Look, I encourage you to go there, 76research.com.
[00:28:34]  Look at the model portfolios.
[00:28:36]  But I would say that, you know, overall, she's in a lot of trouble.
[00:28:39]  And I know I keep saying that.
[00:28:41]  And I think that they're going to find it.
[00:28:44]  I mean, the Hawala Network and everything be damned because this Treasury Secretary, oh, and he was great today.
[00:28:50]  I don't know if you saw any of that.
[00:28:51]  He put Pocahontas, shall we say, in her place, won Elizabeth Warren.
[00:28:56]  He's very serious about investigating this.
[00:29:00]  And the president's very serious about making sure that somebody is in charge of this overall fraud investigation.
[00:29:07]  I mean, he does have JD Vance involved, and they're putting somebody who's going to actually run the whole thing.
[00:29:13]  And I think that that's incredibly important right now because it's clear to me that she's done some funny stuff.
[00:29:21]  You know, she's again back on the we got to get rid of ice.
[00:29:23]  We got to get rid of ice.
[00:29:24]  That's her only answer for things because she won't answer any of these allegations.
[00:29:28]  She won't even stand up for herself other than to say, well, you're racist and that everybody's always looking at her.
[00:29:33]  Yeah, they're looking at her because.
[00:29:35]  For example, why was she paying her hubby, what did she pay him?
[00:29:39]  Nearly $3 million?
[00:29:40]  I mean, that was just nuts.
[00:29:43]  I mean, talking about a payday, for goodness sakes.
[00:29:45]  I mean, you don't pay your spouse, you don't pay your campaign manager $3 million.
[00:29:51]  That's an insane amount of money.
[00:29:54]  She was paying him $878,000 between, oh, that was a two-year time horizon.
[00:29:59]  So he went from, you know, let's call it 400 and change to $2.8 million as soon as he marries her.
[00:30:07]  What do you think that was about?
[00:30:08]  She was paying herself, okay?
[00:30:09]  I'll just say it.
[00:30:09]  She was paying herself, which is why the Biden administration started looking into this.
[00:30:15]  And then, of course, the Biden administration being as weak as it was and afraid, afraid, afraid, afraid, it's just a bunch of scaredy cats, right?
[00:30:23]  They didn't want to go near this because, oh, she was going to allege fraud, forgive me, allege racism.
[00:30:30]  And then they were going to say, oh, but there's this concern about fraud.
[00:30:33]  And so, oh, but why are you looking at me?
[00:30:35]  You know, is it because I'm Somali?
[00:30:37]  And by the way, we Somalis are really important.
[00:30:40]  In the state of Minnesota.
[00:30:41]  You don't win Minnesota without winning the Somali vote, so you understand how difficult this became.
[00:30:46]  Well, even the New York Times has reported this one out.
[00:30:49]  They were already looking at her under Biden's administration.
[00:30:52]  So, yes, this woman's in a heck of a lot of trouble, and her only answer is to go back to ICE.
[00:30:58]  We've got to get rid of ICE.
[00:30:59]  That's all she's got.
[00:31:01]  We cannot allow a federal agency, one that was created for the purpose to terrorize, to function as an occupying force in our community.
[00:31:10]  Real accountability starts with abolishing ICE.
[00:31:13]  impeaching Christine Nome, and rethinking how we enforce immigration policy in this country.
