Representative Ilhan Omar faces potential resignation or jail as the House Ethics Committee investigates a missing $1.7 million from her husband's company, linked to a broader $250 million Minnesota fraud scheme and undisclosed wealth growth. Meanwhile, President Trump deploys ICE agents to airports while pursuing a business-focused oil deal with Iran, contrasting Pentagon aggression with diplomatic settlement hopes. The episode concludes by analyzing the cancellation of Star Trek due to progressive content alienating fans, arguing that schools' indoctrination clashes with American values, before promoting 76 Research's profitable investment focus over political correctness.

Ethics Scam and Jail Concerns00:10:39
Oh, Ilhan Omar.
Oh, my goodness.
This is actually really, really bad news for her and the hubby.
And you know what I think.
We're going to get into the newest, latest and greatest allegations surrounding one, Ilhan Omar.
Plus, oh, my goodness gracious.
Are we looking at peace in the Middle East?
Donald Trump coming out and saying, hey, hey, you know, we got to make Pete happy.
Pete Hegseth may not be so thrilled with this, but we look like we're at a deal.
Gosh darn it.
This is kind of amazing.
I mean, if this is really happening, guys, and I don't think he would just come right out and say this the way he said it, unless it was well on its way.
But we'll talk about it in depth because it's huge.
It's huge and we already know this is huge.
ICE is having all kinds of success.
What do you know those lines?
Boom presto, they're like disappearing in real time.
Cnn's even reporting on it.
Oh my gosh, the Democrats don't like that.
Welcome to the program, everyone.
Good to have you here.
I'm Trish Reagan.
This is the Trish Reagan show.
Make sure you subscribe, make sure you like share, make a comment.
We're live.
I can see them in real time and then, if you watch the replay, guess what I look at?
All the comments after.
So Thank you for that.
Ilhan Omar in a whole lot of trouble right now, guys.
Ilhan Omar, new reports that she's not cooperating with officials, that the hubby, Timmy Minot, is not cooperating with officials.
And one of the big questions they have is just exactly where $1.7 million, yeah, $1.7, nearly $2 million went when apparently it went into his company, which has gone by a variety of different names.
One was E-Street Crew, which I got a kick out of, right?
Easy Street.
Hey, we're living on Easy Street.
We got Ilhan in our back pocket.
We got Feeding Our Future.
These are allegations in our back pocket.
Of course, all of this really pointing to some troubling signs for one Ilhan Omar, her local paper now in on the action saying that, you know, she's in trouble here because the GOP is saying, haha, you got to actually come forward with some of these documentations and we're moving forward on this ethics probe.
So there's the ethics investigation that Comer initiated into her.
And now there's concern about $1.7 million that may have gone into the hubby's company.
That's a lovely picture of him there.
And if the hubby's not complying and working with the ethics committee on this, then what does that mean?
I do recall one Matt Gaetz, congressman from Florida, who wasn't cooperating with the ethics committee.
And what did he do?
He resigned.
He resigned rather than have to basically go through what he would have been going through there with the ethics committee.
And so the next question becomes, my Ilhan Omar resign because she's not willing to go through the ethics committee's investigation.
All that said, it doesn't change the fact that if indeed her husband did what is alleged he may have done, and if she had any participation in this alleged money laundering scheme, then see ya right.
Not not to mention, on top of it all, you've got Emmer out there in Minnesota.
You got Marshall Blackburn in Tennessee, Senate and House talking about how they can ensure that people who have defrauded the U.s government are indeed sent packing.
So you would one go to jail and two, you'd be sent packing with your naturalization process law.
So Timmy Minot is under fire Here.
The Minneapolis Times reporting today that a key congressional watchdog committee, that would be, of course, the Ethics Committee, is not getting what they need from Mr. Timmy Minette.
In fact, they're curious about all of this vast increase in the Minette's, can we say Mr. and Mrs. Minette?
The Mr. And Mrs. Minette's wealth.
That happened shortly after he married Ilhan and they introduced.
In 2020, that feeding our future program that defrauded the American taxpayer out of 250 million dollars.
We just reported yesterday on the five new ones that pled guilty.
So what?
We had 79 a couple weeks ago, five more, I mean.
The number keeps growing and they're all somehow majority anyway, from her district, including people that worked on her campaign.
Imagine that he he worked on the campaign right, Minette ran her campaign for a pretty penny too nearly three million dollars.
She paid him anyway.
The Minneapolis Times, as well as another Minnesota publication, are now coming out and saying, hey, you know what?
She has not complied with the request.
And so Republicans are now saying, you got to do this, right?
Like this is the ethics committee.
We're not messing around.
Hey, you're welcome to resign and not reply to our request.
But so long as you want to stay a member of Congress, you have to play ball in this.
So again, the GOP is kind of putting the pressure on, as I told you they would.
And by the way, they have to, because these are simple questions.
You know, when they come to you and they say, how did this money get made?
You need to be able to answer those questions.
And this has been elevated enough that she's got to actually follow through.
Timmy Meineck cannot bury his head in the sand and say, I'm not going to give you anything.
That's not going to fly.
Comer has made this point over and over again.
In fact, I was just playing this for you recently, and we were just talking about, yeah, she's got to be able to come forward with this information.
And now today we learn she's not.
Think about that.
I mean, hey, Mac Eates, he had to resign.
So Ilhan, you may have to too.
Right?
What's fair is fair, not to mention you may be looking at a jail penalty when it's all said and done.
Coma.
Again, I'm not accusing them of any wrongdoing, but she should answer a simple question.
If any member of Congress is asked what business their family's involved in, I've never seen one fail to answer it.
That's not a hard question.
My husband has a private equity firm and he's done exceptionally well in the last 12 months.
She won't answer that question.
And everybody in America suspects foul play here.
And again, we're going to find out.
It's not going to be hard to figure out what business he's in.
And where the money came from.
So that's going to be a central part of our entire Minnesota fraud investigation because she is the leader in Congress in the district, in the congressional district, where the overwhelming majority of the welfare fraud is taking place.
Her name, as well as the Attorney General Keith Ellison's name, have been mentioned as people of interest.
I'll put it like that, Jesse.
So we're going to follow through on this, and I think she's going to have some difficult questions to answer.
Well, if our thanks to Fox for that clip and Jesse Waters show.
So again, Minneapolis Times coming out and saying, no, as of yesterday afternoon, actually, forgive me, as of this morning, as of this morning, Timmy Minot hasn't turned over any of the documentation.
Wow.
And by the way, there's belief out there that he was doing some really fraudulent stuff.
Let's go to a local news report out of Minneapolis on Timmy Minot and Ilhan Omar's growing, growing problems.
Let's watch.
Accusations of fraud against a business partly owned by Representative Omar's husband.
Her husband is Tim Minette, and his consulting firm legally got about $3 million from her 2020 campaign.
Now he's a business partner in a few business ventures that are involved in lawsuits claiming his companies have made money disappear.
In the case of Tim Minette, whose LinkedIn page shows he was a partner in the E Street Group along with Will Haler, there's no publicly known criminal investigation.
But there may be something behind the scenes.
We have connected with federal law enforcement on this.
I believe that they're looking into it as we speak.
Ned Horsted is the CEO of a South Dakota cannabis company that gave Haler and MyNet's company $3.5 million to kickstart investments, but ended up with about $1.8 million back and a court judgment, an IOU for the other $1.7 million.
Omar's office tells me she has no involvement in any business ventures, and the situation reeks of political desperation.
If you have a two person business and one of them is a spouse of a member of Congress, it seems suspicious to say the least that they never knew about $3.5 million that came into the bank account.
They never knew that $1.7 million went missing.
The lawyers for Minette and Haler say they absolutely did not intend to defraud anyone in that cannabis business or in a winery deal that's also the subject of a civil lawsuit.
No.
Or they didn't intend to get caught, I guess.
No, they said, look, we didn't do anything wrong.
That's their story and they're sticking to it.
But, you know, you had a lot of people come forward with these fraud accusations and eventually I guess everything got settled out in the courts.
The problem now is Ilhan is not telling us why or how or when her husband made any money.
She's not allowing for him.
Well, I don't know if it's her.
I mean, maybe it's him.
I don't know who wears the pants in that family, but I'm just saying the two of them is a couple, Mr. and Mrs. Minette.
aren't actually giving forth any of the information that they have to give as a couple, as a member of Congress that she is regarding this ethics violation.
And this is a concern because do not forget the $250 million scam feeding our future of which we have seen numerous arrests now and numerous people going to jail, a whole bunch of them were somehow cozy with her.
A number of them had actually donated her campaign and one of them had actually worked on her campaign.
So, you understand why this is so critical that we get to the bottom of it.
Well, now investigators are tracking the web of fraud to other Minnesota Democrats, such as Congresswoman Ilhan Omar.
Many of the suspects linked to the scheme live in her district, including a restaurant owner who hosted events for her.
He has since been convicted of stealing $12 million in COVID funds.
Okay.
And she's going to sit there and say, gee, you know, we don't need to actually turn over any of the documentation.
That the ethics committee is requiring us to submit again.
I just look at her and say, you know what, Ilhan?
You can resign and then go to jail and then be deported maybe in that order.
Because if you're guilty of this stuff, that's exactly what's going to happen.
And don't forget, Matt Gates wanted to save himself from the controversy, so he didn't actually go forward with all of this investigation.
They are asking for this documentation and they deserve it but, by the way, you know what Ilhan honey, you don't want to give it to us.
Resignation or Deportation Looming00:15:16
Guess what?
We're still going to find it, because we've got Treasury, we've got the IRS, OH, and we have JD Vance and his entire fraud team at the White House investigating you, and they are already looking all over the world for this money, because we know $700 million left the city of Minneapolis in a two-year time Period.
That would make Minneapolis the number one airport, number one airport in the country where money's fleeing in suitcases.
They actually declared it with the TSA, so just imagine how much they didn't declare.
And Ilhan, people want to know whether your husband had anything to do with that because apparently he was doing business all over the world.
He was quite proud of it, in fact.
Yeah.
So the latest and greatest headline on the New York Post is that Ilhan Omar's probe is going global with demand for info on Hubby's business dealings in Kenya, in Dubai, Somalia.
Well, we can add, I believe, South Africa to that as well.
The business partner, he's not doing him any favors either.
There were some solar panels, was it, in South Africa?
And yet again, she doesn't want to admit anything.
Here's the problem, okay?
The elephant in the room.
The year before, E Street crew, Easy Street, Easy Street.
Song from Annie.
You've heard me sing it before if you're a regular on this show.
Annie was like my big thing when I was 10.
Anyway, I know all the ways.
That's how it was my first introduction to economics and FDR, Annie.
In 2023, when she first performed her disclosure form, it was filed in 2024.
She showed modest outside income and assets and credit card and student loan debt.
Student loan debt worth between 45 000 and 150 000.
The disclosure form also listed my net as having an interest in EAST Street CREW, a winery in California.
That was worth between 200 and a thousand dollars 200, not 200 000.
200 and 1 000.
Okay, so that's 2023.
Remember 2020 was the big hit with the feeding our future.
And then, all of a sudden, this interest in ROSE LAKE Capital becomes 25 million bucks.
I mean, I just don't get it, right?
He was valuing it between 15,000 and 50,000.
And then a year later, it rises all the way to 25 million with the winery being worth $5 million.
I mean, guys, it just does not make any sense.
And I know I keep harping on this, but I'm going to continue harping on this because, look, I'm a financial reporter by background.
I've won awards for my terrorist financing investigations that I have done.
And this money can be tracked and it will be tracked.
And it's not.
insanely easy because Treasury has to do a lot given that she could have used the Hawala system, which is like person to person, if she is actually guilty of some of these allegations.
And so they're going to have to figure all of that out.
But we've got some smart people on the case.
And I think that they will.
What I can tell you is that what he was saying about his business makes literally no sense, no sense at all.
This Rose Lake Capital, which he claims has $80 million under, $60 million, forgive me, in assets under management or had at one point.
He and his buddy here, this guy, who is another Democrat.
sort of bigwig, I guess, out in Minnesota, however bigwig you can be out in Minnesota, right?
This guy, Will Haler, was also kind of a problem and is continuing to be a problem for Mr. and Mrs. Minette because you see, Will Haler is on record saying that the business, the venture capital firm Rose Lake that I just showed you wasn't worth anything.
You know, he apparently in sworn testimony was asked about its valuation.
right around the same time that she was saying, oh, it's worth $25 million.
And he's saying, you know, it really didn't have assets worth a million dollars.
And then he was asked again whether it was less than $500,000.
And the quote is that he couldn't tell you.
Don't you think you'd know the difference between your business being worth $500,000 and $25 million?
So something is really suspicious.
And when you try and ask her about it, you know, what, what, where does she go?
What is, what is her go-to move?
When you try and ask Ilhan Omar about this, her go-to move over and over again is to just, you know, scorn you and, and, and pretend like you're the idiot.
She did this with a reporter.
I want to show you this because it just.
Smacks of her arrogance, and it's frankly pretty darn disgusting.
Here she is with a reporter, I think this is from Michael Gandel's network, who's just asking her some decent questions.
Here we go.
Just talking about how Trump's economy has failed the American people, but I think the American people really want to know how you went from a negative $65,000 before coming into Congress to over $30 million in just seven years.
My disclosure is public.
Yeah, it is.
And so a lot of people now are looking into that and finding Estcrew Winery, a winery that doesn't.
Actually, it seems to exist.
Is that a real winery?
Do you all actually look at and read things, or do you just ask silly questions?
Well, it's listed in the financial disclosure, so can you explain it?
Because we have a lot of questions about it, and things just aren't adding up.
There's no real phone number, there's no real location.
Why did you want to bite some wine?
Probably not from you, to be honest.
Recently stated that the American people should be afraid of the white man.
They should be fearful of the white man.
I never said that.
Yeah, you're on video saying that.
Our country should be more fearful.
Of white men across the country.
Okay, so what does that tell you?
She lies.
She's willing to lie through her teeth whenever she wants to lie.
Her husband hasn't paid her taxes, his taxes, $403,000.
He's multiple times been accused of fraud.
They're paying him up the wazoo nearly, what, $3 million to run her campaign?
Unheard of money.
That in and of itself is an ethics violation, but it's gotten so much worse.
Let's go back to the reporter.
Our country, because they are actually causing most of the deaths.
Within this country, I did not.
Yes, you again.
This is like what I said you need to prepare yourself because you can't continue embarrassing yourself like this.
So I'm just a liar.
What I was quoting was an actual study done by the FBI.
Okay, thank you.
Unbelievable, thank you, Congresswoman.
Unbelievable.
I love this girl, by the way.
I just love what she's been doing.
Oh, and it gets better because that was her first interaction with Ilhan Omar, and then she decided, okay, I'll go back for more glutton for punishment.
And she caught up with her the next day after Ilhan accused her of not being very smart, of course.
And she said, okay, I went and did some reading.
And it turns out, yeah, you're out there saying your business is worth $25 million or you and your hubby's business is worth $25 million.
The winery was worth $5 million.
It just doesn't add up.
Yesterday, you told me to please read when I asked you about the $9 billion fraud that you denied is happening, but I have it right here.
I read.
Look, Chairman Comer opens hearing on a massive fraud scandal $9 billion.
That's what Comer believes because he's as smart as you are.
It's not just Comer, it's Scott Besson, it's federal prosecutors, it's House oversight, and it's Minnesota State Rats.
You can have that, ma'am.
I think you need to get examined because your brain has been fried in some way, and it's not okay.
I really hope you get some help.
You and the Republicans here.
Take care, okay, ma'am?
I'm sorry, I can't go to the learning centers that you're running over in Minnesota, but I think you should perhaps read what's actually.
I need one of those learning centers.
I need one of those learning centers.
Woo!
Good one.
All right.
Timmy, you got to turn over the documentation.
This is getting serious.
I realize the IRS is doing its thing, I realize Treasury is doing its thing because, you know, they have to figure out if any money actually went back.
To any sponsors of terrorism, because that's another allegation that you guys are facing.
You are facing all kinds of allegations right now and it's increasingly a problem for you.
So Timmy has this business.
It's very, very sus.
He's not telling anybody where any of this money came from and that's going to come back to haunt her big time again.
As of this morning, a spokesperson from the committee says mr Minette has not actually come forward with anything.
Nothing about this ROSE LAKE Capital.
But we do know, as we have discussed, that apparently they were trying to make some kind of venture, some kind of investment in solar panels in South Africa.
Okay, we've talked about that, right?
The solar panels in South Africa.
We know that the government's looking into dealings in Somalia, dealings in South Africa, dealings in Kenya, dealings in Dubai.
This is really getting problematic for her.
No wonder he doesn't want to turn over any of the documentation.
And it kind of makes me think no wonder Ilhan Omar was so upset when we got rid of USAID, where all kinds of money was going to all kinds of weird places, right?
Maybe, maybe she had her hand in the cookie jar.
I am exceptionally upset about USAID.
I lived in a refugee camp for four years as a child surviving civil war.
It is the essential programs that USAID provided that kept my family and I fed.
And save.
It is the resources that so many people around the world rely on.
And it is our soft power.
Oftentimes, people interact with our country through the military.
That does not create love for us, and it certainly does not keep us safe.
When the world interacts with Americans through programs.
Okay, we want to do it, you know, we grease the wheels, right?
Maybe that's the idea.
You get those solar panels in South Africa that you two were working so hard on putting in.
And if anybody challenges you on it, if anybody in the GOP establishment or any reporter challenges you on it, I understand, Ilhan, you just go back to they're all so darn stupid, I can't bother with any of them.
Kind of your same attitude that you just had with that.
Mike Lindell, reporter, right?
Where you're like, hey, honey, go do some reading.
I mean, she can do reading like any one of us.
We've all seen your documentation, Ilhan.
So don't sit there and try and tell us we're the stupid ones.
No, we know what's up.
So I'm kind of sick of this reaction.
Let's go to her.
These people are just idiots.
I really, you know, I'm at the point where it's become really hard to have an intellectual debate with any of these people because the level of stupidity that they are displaying every single day.
It's frankly embarrassing, not just in Congress, but as Americans.
And the fact that these people are allowed to say just the most ridiculous things tells you that the dumbing of the United States has arrived because how else do we get a Trump presidency again?
I see.
Well, you know, tough luck for you because Trump's got a lot of really smart people working for him, and I think they're on to you.
I mean, these allegations are pretty significant.
You can't walk away from them.
You can't just tell your husband not to submit the paperwork because they'll find the paperwork.
They'll find it all right.
And you guys are going to be in a whole lot of trouble.
Big time, big time, big time.
Oh, you know who else is in trouble right now?
Jack Smith.
Do you guys remember Jack Smith?
Marshall Blackburn once that guy disbarred and it could happen because of all his spying on the GOP.
More on that in a second.
Quick shout out for my other company.
76 research.
I want to make sure that the markets, in fact, did end higher.
There's a lot of optimism right now, a lot of optimism about what Donald Trump is doing vis-a-vis the situation there in Iran.
We actually had markets ending the day slightly lower, so I'm going to take down that lower third.
You can get our stock picks in those portfolios, three different portfolios.
You see them up on the screen, all doing really, really well, all beating the S&P, and there's some great names in there.
If you can't get the portfolios, and that's the research that goes with all of those stocks, then I encourage you to at least get the 76 report.
Use code word dollar, D-O-L-L-A-R, at 76research.com.
Jack Smith disbarred.
That's what they're talking about right now.
Oh, Marsha Blackburn.
She wants this guy's law license taken away.
And, you know, she's backed up by the likes of Grassley and Ted Cruz.
You name it.
There was a big hearing today.
Let's get her reaction.
Here she is on Fox.
Point soon.
But we do know it's illegal.
We do know it's a violation of our rights.
And, of course, Jack Smith is going to have to answer for this.
I'm already working on a letter to the D.C. bar, a complaint letter to file against him.
He should be disbarred.
Let me ask you this, Senator.
Woo!
Okay, that was the headline there.
She wants this guy disbarred, and she wants him disbarred because of this.
Do you see what I'm looking at here?
So, Grassley's office put together basically a giant spreadsheet.
This was compiled, as you can see in the screen, by the Senate Judiciary Committee that's been looking into all of this because what they found was that Jack Smith was like, Subpoena City.
I mean, he's out there.
Here's one for you and one for you and one for you and one for you.
And he was going after GoDaddy, which makes websites.
He's going after all these banks.
He's going after everyone saying, I want information on all of those people.
And if you look over on the right on that screen, you can see all the people that were involved.
So they were going after law offices.
They were going after news organizations.
You had Newsmax.
You had Fox.
You had a whole bunch of news.
CBS even in there.
They were going after everyone.
They were subpoenaing everyone so that they could put together basically a look at who The Republican Party really was who MAGA was, and they wanted intel on everything.
Unbelievable stuff.
Unbelievable stuff.
And you're sitting there going, How is this legal?
How could they have weaponized our judicial system like that?
This is what Ted Cruz was saying.
Like, this stuff is worse than Watergate, and we need to see repercussions.
Let's go to Senator Cruz.
A pattern this committee, under the leadership of Chairman Grassley, is now working to uncover.
And expose.
Because no administration, Republican or Democrat, has any business turning the surveillance powers of the federal government against its political opposition.
Fifty years ago, this nation was confronted with an abuse of power.
Weaponized Judicial System Abuse00:06:40
And it responded not with indifference, but with accountability.
I'll tell you one of the big differences of Watergate versus Arctic Frost.
When Richard Nixon and his corrupt attorney general and his corrupt administration abused their law enforcement powers, To go after their political opponents, Republican senators stood up to the president of their own party and defended the rule of law.
Where is even a single Democrat senator who has said one word about this abuse of power?
And they won't.
Is there not one?
There are 47 Democrats in this body.
Is there not one who can come forward and say, you know what?
Turning the Department of Justice into the Oppo research and attack machine.
Of the DNC is not what the DOJ is supposed to be.
We were tested then and there was accountability.
We are being tested again now.
The question is really simple.
Will we uphold the same standard?
Will we defend the rule of law or will we abandon it?
Well, I think we all know the answer, right?
I mean, think about what he went through, for example.
His phone records, his own phone records.
This is a sitting U.S. Senator from a really big state, Texas, right?
They went after Cruz's phone records.
I mean, they went after what?
In total, I think there were nine lawmakers.
Marshall Blackburn was another.
You had Chuck Grassley.
Lindsey Graham.
And AT&T apparently did protect Ted Cruz's records.
Verizon was like, here you go.
Here you go, Jackie boy.
What else do you need while we're there?
I mean, you understand the problem with this, right?
So AT&T refused.
They refused the subpoena for Senator Ted Cruz's personal cell phone.
They cited the speech and debate clause of the Constitution.
Jack Smith's team backed off immediately.
Personal records were not actually turned over.
But Verizon was like, what else do you need, right?
They're rolling out the red carpet, and this is a big problem.
You'll remember a few months back when Grassley was first discovering all this, you know, and then you know what's hitting the fan.
I mean, he was furious.
Let's listen to his take.
I've recently been informed by Verizon that at least 11 members with Verizon accounts were affected.
That includes a hard line for Senator Cruz's office.
And a staffer cell phone for former Senator Leffler.
ATT informed me they challenged the legal basis for Jack Smith's efforts, and Smith backed down.
Good.
I mean, wow.
So Grassley, who's been leading this investigation, he's the one who subpoenaed the records from over 400.
Jack Smith, I should stand corrected.
Jack Smith, he reports, subpoenaed the records for over 400 Republican targets as.
part of this Arctic Frost investigation.
I mean, this is just outrageous, you guys, to think that our government did this.
And Ted Cruz brought in a whistleblower who got a little testy with people, including Marsha.
I mean, we're talking very testy, very hostile witness.
There was another witness there, Chamberlain, and one other.
And they really were very forthcoming and said, look, this was a dragnet.
They were trying to get everyone they could.
They really were overreaching in their power.
But this guy, this guy who's a former F. FBI officer, and while he was not directly involved in this investigation, he's spoken out repeatedly against Kash Patel.
He has spoken out against the Trump administration.
He had no use for anybody in this hearing today.
But I would say that both Cruz and Blackburn let him have it.
Let's watch.
Senator Menendez is currently incarcerated in prison for corruption.
And if you've got evidence of criminal conduct of one individual, the Department of Justice has an obligation to investigate that.
Would you agree that's qualitatively different than a phishing expedition targeting 20% of the Republicans in the Senate?
Would you agree that's qualitatively different?
I'm not familiar with the details of either investigation, so I wouldn't want to speculate.
Well, let me ask you this Would you be troubled if tomorrow the Trump Department of Justice issued a subpoena for the phone records of every Democrat that sits on the Judiciary Committee?
Not if it was based on factual evidence, specific and articulable facts.
Well, let me be clear.
I'd be damn troubled.
Yes.
And that would be an abuse of power.
And I'm going to predict not a single Democrat's going to say even a word about the abuse of power on their side.
And that double standard is troubling.
Senator Lee.
Very troubling indeed.
But, you know, it's to be expected because they all have TDS.
And anything that Donald Trump does, including possibly bringing peace to the Middle East, fingers crossed, right?
That somehow is a bad thing if he does it.
I want to go to Marsha Blackburn, Senator Blackburn, who just was like, you know what?
You little.
You know what?
Like, I'm tired of it, buddy boy.
Watch her put him in his place.
Are you aware that there have been over 9,000 arrests of violent criminals?
If you say so, yes, ma'am.
And would you say that arresting 9,000 violent criminals makes the country more or less safe?
It certainly makes that jurisdiction, Memphis, a safer jurisdiction.
Makes the entire country more safe.
Would you say that finding 150 missing children helps make this country more safe?
Yes, it does.
And the FBI has been doing that for decades, ma'am.
And in Memphis, it's 153.
You can stop being snarky, too.
That would help.
I mean, that was great, right?
You can stop being snarky, a little pompous, you know what?
I mean, wow.
So Marsha's great.
And she's now, after that, she came out and said, look, I'm calling for this guy, Jack Smith.
To be disbarred because what he did was so crazy and so far above and beyond what anybody should do.
And and to you know basically, have all these innocent Americans effectively spied upon.
They call it tolling.
We're not supposed to say spying, because that's not quite an accurate term.
Tolling is the more pleasant, sanitized word that they use for this, but basically it's the same thing.
Okay, it's what uh, is?
They're gathering all this metadata.
They're gathering the metadata to figure out.
Okay, was Marcia talking to Trish?
If Trish was talking to Marcia, then Okay, who else is Trish talking to?
You understand they're trying to basically piece together and map together an entire MAGA movement.
Innocent Americans Spied Upon00:15:22
And it's got to be checked because if we don't check these overreaches, then we're going to go down a really slippery slope.
I mean, I couldn't believe I was looking for my name when I was on there.
I was like, gosh, you know, they're going after this, that, and the other.
And I imagine if you were working at one of those news organizations, you were getting swept up in all of that too.
It's just really, really wrong.
I suspect it's more than 400 people ultimately, much, much more than 400 people that were affected by all of it.
I want to turn to the skies.
Delta Airlines is having, you know, no use for any of these members of Congress because they can't seem to get anything passed to pay the TSA officers.
And you know what?
It's problematic for the airlines.
It's problematic for the American people.
And Delta's saying like enough is enough.
I want to go to a woman posted something of one of the massive, massive lines that people were facing.
And we'll talk about what Delta's response is because they're like, you know what?
We're just going to cut you guys off.
You guys get all kinds of special privileges.
You get to like whiz through these lines.
Not anymore.
Not anymore.
This is all the TSA line.
The line where you get your ID and boarding pass checked is all the way up there.
It comes around here, all the way around, all the way around, all the way around.
It snakes through here, but then you have to take the escalator over there down to the baggage claim downstairs, and that's how you end up down here.
Right now, according to that board, it says that the wait is 150 minutes.
Not sure if that's accurate.
Unbelievable.
I mean, we've seen some estimates of three hours and 40 minutes.
The Wall Street Journal did a report on that just yesterday.
And they had all the different airports around the country.
And one that was really, really bad was the one in Texas where you saw over three hour long waits.
Well, Delta Airlines, they had been giving some perks, right?
So that basically members of Congress could go through pretty easily.
And finally, The CEO, Ed Bastion, is like, enough is enough.
Like, enough is enough, people.
Like, you can't get your act together enough to actually allow for people to go through our airports.
So what are we doing giving you any kind of special treatment?
Thank you very much.
Atlanta's Delta Airlines announced this week that it is suspending its standalone service from members of Congress until the TSA is fully funded.
Quote, due to the impact on resources from the longstanding government shutdown, Delta will temporarily suspend specialty services to members of Congress flying Delta.
The statement read, It goes on to say next to safety, Delta's number one priority is taking care of our people and our customers, which has become increasingly difficult in this current environment.
A spokesperson for Delta told the Atlanta Journal Constitution that House and Senate members will now be treated like offline passengers, just like everyone else, you know, according to their sky miles status.
In other words, like you, like me.
And you know what?
If you're going to try and get in some fancy, fancy line, you're going to have to pay up and get yourself a first class ticket or have a heck of a lot of miles, okay?
Members of Congress, because you can't seem to get your job done.
People are angry, understandably.
Watch this.
What's your message to Congress that could put an end to all of this?
It would be ideal.
This isn't working for us right now.
Fire them all.
Fire them all.
This is taxpayer money.
What's it for?
The flight leaves in 16 minutes.
16 minutes.
Oof.
Doesn't seem like you're making that point.
He's not happy.
What are you going to do about it?
I don't know.
Go home?
Work in the yard?
Do you have anywhere to be?
It's important where you travel.
Yeah, I had a reunion with my high school buddies.
So, and now you're forced to miss that.
Is that frustrating?
What's that?
Of course, it's frustrating.
It's awful.
It's awful.
And there's plenty of people with places to be.
And yet, Congress can't get its act together to pass this.
Unbelievable.
I mean, people are upset.
As long as they don't bother anybody, I'm okay.
I was concerned about people.
So, they're not bothering us.
Let's get it done.
So, this is some reaction of people at the airports that Fox ran.
As to whether or not they would be pleased or disappointed with ICE coming there to help the TSA.
And overwhelmingly, I've seen this from a lot of different networks.
On every network, what are people saying over and over and over again?
Fine, if they can help, so be it.
I don't want to wait in line for three hours.
I like that they're here.
I think that it's allowing us to move and get to where we need to go.
It's kind of scary in a sense because you don't know what to expect with ICE.
As long as they can help us move a little bit faster, maybe they can take some of the work off the TSA agents as far as general security.
I'm all for it.
Unbelievable stuff.
This comes after days of people waiting on us.
It's just awful.
So Delta's like, no more.
You've got the President of the United States saying no more.
The President of the United States hinting that Elon Musk, he's also saying no more.
He's like, hey, maybe I can help.
I'll pay their salaries if needed.
So that's the latest.
The President confirming this today.
Let's watch.
Elon Musk has offered to pay PSA workers during this VHS shutdown.
Is this something that you've been speaking to him about?
Yeah, I'd love it.
I think it's great.
Let him do that.
And I want to thank ICE because they stepped in so strongly.
And if that's not enough, I'll bring in the National Guard.
They'll do great.
We're not going to have the Democrats destroy our country.
These people are the most destructive, sick people.
So, maybe Elon to the rescue.
I'll tell you one thing.
The president's not going to allow for the Democrats to create this kind of disturbance and then turn around and blame him.
No way, Jose.
It's not happening.
So much so that he did take it upon himself to say, you know what?
I'm calling Tom.
I'm calling Tom.
We get ICE agents that are getting paid.
Why not send them to the airport to help out?
And guess what?
Everybody's pretty darn happy about it.
Imagine that.
Well, there may be a celebration here at the airport before it's all said and done, especially for the folks who've been working nonstop extra shifts.
If you look right here, you can see this is the main checkpoint.
Almost no lines, no waiting.
CNN is having to broadcast a report showing you of those horrible lines that could have been at the Atlanta airport.
Democrats do not like this, right?
Their network, their precious network, actually having to report the truth that ICE might actually be working here.
Sarah, it's unbelievable at this point.
This morning started briskly with a lot of people showing up here at the airport.
Lines were long.
People were waiting about an hour.
But when that rush hour went away pretty quickly this morning, we ended up with this.
And there seems to be more lines open than normal.
Right now, with the TSA workers here breezing people through.
In fact, a lot of folks have been showing up shocked at how short the lines are.
Take a listen to some of the folks we talked to this morning.
I don't see how extra security could be bad, you know?
I mean, they're going to help out and, you know, make things move a little faster, but whether they're doing that or not, we don't know.
But extra security is always good to me.
I mean, you think it's not going to be that bad, but then you get here and, you know, you think, oh man, it really is as bad as they say it is.
So, there's a bit of a mix here.
So, when people were showing up and going right into the TSA pre check line, a lot of them weren't even checking the main checkpoint line.
That line has been open and moving pretty quickly.
Some folks just get so used to going to the line they go to, they didn't even check to see what that's like.
We've also seen those ICE agents moving through today.
A lot of folks are saying they're very pleasant.
Look, they're not wearing masks.
In fact, on this line right here, you can see two of them standing behind the TSA agents.
I'm not sure we can get a complete focus on that, but just wanted to show you that they've been walking around the perimeter.
Atlanta police have also been added to this.
In terms of showing up extra patrols.
But the story right now, Sarah, quite honestly, is the fact that the lines have disappeared.
We haven't seen this like in a week.
So this is good news.
If you have a flight to catch, you should know that you can probably maybe take a deep breath.
At one point, this line stretched all the way down the hallway.
This one is gone as well.
So I guess we'll just give it a try.
Wow.
Okay.
So that is actually great news.
And some of you are like, I saw, you're like, wait a second.
Is CNN actually reporting this?
Do you think they have an incentive lately to do so?
Because don't forget who just bought them?
Paramount, which is owned by David Ellison.
That would be CBS is coming in to run the newsroom at CNN.
So they're like, uh-oh.
You know, if we want to save our hides, maybe we actually ought to do a better job at being more balanced.
So it'll make it more interesting to watch.
What do you know?
Win-win, huh?
Win-win.
CNN, you report the truth and people might actually tune in to watch it now and then.
We'll let MSNBC die a slow, miserable death over there in cable land as it's now part of the new company, Versant.
Versant.
That stock price is not doing well.
Anyway, Chuck.
Chucky, Chuck Schumer, he refuses to kind of admit the reality, the obvious, obvious reality that if you have more personnel, you'll take them wherever you can get them, right?
ICE, TSA, you name it, that that actually is going to result in fewer lines.
Watch this.
Everywhere ICE goes, trouble follows.
We've seen that.
And it is highly likely the airports will be no exception.
No one trusts that ICE is going to make things better.
Once again, ICE agents have arrived here in Philadelphia, but I do want to point out, this is an empty line right now.
We are standing in the middle where travelers come to check in for TSA.
Yesterday, this was all the way back to the garage.
So, good news today.
Lines aren't too bad.
We're live from PHL.
Breonna Gallagher, Channel 6, Action News.
Nice.
So, the Philly airport saying, you know what?
The lines are disappearing.
This is pretty good.
Donald Trump taking the credit for it, all of it.
Whose idea was that?
There was an ice at the airport.
We're dealing really whose idea was it?
Mine.
That was mine.
Can I ask you something?
That was like the paperclip.
You know the story of the paperclip?
182 years ago, a man discovered the paperclip.
It was so simple.
And everybody that looked at it said, why didn't I think of that?
Ice was my idea.
I called.
First person I called was Tom Holman.
I said, what do you think?
He said, I think it's great.
Then I saw today there was some masks on.
I didn't think the masks were appropriate.
I put out a statement and I asked them, would it be possible to take off the mask?
Because they should wear a mask when they're dealing with the murderers and the thugs left and let into our country.
Unbelievable.
All right.
So it's working.
It's working.
It's working.
Even though, even though Chucky Schumer, Hakeem Jeffries, they really are, it's like they're hoping for something else.
They're like inspiring against us.
Guys, get over it.
This is the American people we're talking about and the American economy we're talking about.
What's your response to what Tom Holman revealed here?
Well, good morning.
Great to be with you.
There are three things that have been true since Donald Trump and Republicans came back into power last January.
Life is more expensive, life is more chaotic, and life is more extreme.
The last thing that the American people need are for untrained ICE agents to be deployed at airports all across the country.
Potentially to brutalize or in some instances kill them.
We've already seen whoa, this conducts itself.
These are untrained individuals when it comes to doing the current job that they have for the most part, let alone deploying them in close exposure and highly sensitive situations at airports across the country.
So he seems to think that you know people are going to get killed because you have more security at the airport.
Gee, Hakim, Hakim, Hakim, you really, really don't like Trump.
We get it.
Okay, we get it, but we're moving on.
And guess what?
The war might actually be ending.
We might be looking at regime change in Iran.
I got to take you to Mark Wayne Mullins' confirmation hearing.
Well, he had the confirmation hearing and now he had the swearing in ceremony.
At Mark Wayne Mullins' ceremony for swearing in today, the president dropped some big hints on the future of what's going on in the Middle East.
Let's listen in.
Because they're going to make a deal.
They're going to make a deal.
They did something yesterday that was amazing, actually.
They gave us a present, and the present arrived today.
It was a very big present worth a tremendous amount of money.
And I'm not going to tell you what that present is, but it was a very significant prize.
And they gave it to us, and they said they were going to give it.
So that meant one thing to me would deal with the right people.
Was that nuclear related?
No, it wasn't nuclear related.
It was oil and gas related.
And it was a very nice thing they did.
But what it showed me is that we're dealing with the right people.
Because, you know, you don't know, because the leadership was killed, all gone.
Khomeini, all gone, as the expression goes, the past Supreme Leader.
And then the new Supreme Leader was racked up, at a minimum, racked up pretty good.
And everyone else was gone.
And then many of the people in the third tier.
Okay.
So he's saying that, you know, we got rid of leadership team number one, leadership team number two, and now we're on leadership team number three.
And look, full disclosure, we talked about this yesterday.
And I said, you know, you got to look at some of his true social posts.
They're a little bit cryptic when he talks about how he's negotiating with the country of Iran.
He isn't negotiating with the Ayatollah or the IRGC necessarily.
He keeps referring to the country of Iran.
It's not clear to me entirely who he is.
Is negotiating with and he's not, it seems, willing to reveal all of that just yet.
But he's negotiating with someone, and somebody that he's negotiating with made good on something.
Okay, they sent a present that's kind of a cryptic way to say it, but they sent a present and the president is pleased with what he's seeing thus far.
And don't forget, it wasn't like he needed total regime change.
I think he just wanted to make sure that we didn't have the crazies in charge, the crazies who are shouting death to America all the time.
As for the ayatollah, we're getting mixed reports.
We've reported on it here, Some saying he's in a coma, some saying he's badly disfigured.
Whatever it is, he's also reportedly not like the smartest bulb around.
Apparently his dad didn't even want him to have this job because he didn't think he had intellect for it.
So again, I don't think the president's working with him and his team.
I think it's somebody else entirely.
And though he has said we don't want regime change necessarily, he said, hey, we've got to have somebody we can work with.
We need a straight Hormuz that's actually open for business, right?
You've got 20% of the world's oil supply that's going through there.
and he wants it active and he wants it safe and he wants oil prices lower as a result.
Let's go back to the president dropping another hint telling us that Pete isn't so thrilled about all of it.
Well, you know, I mean, if you're at the Pentagon and you're the Secretary of War, you prepare for these things.
Regime Change Deal Hints00:02:52
I get it.
But the president had a funny way of communicating this.
Listen in.
Disappointed.
I don't want to say this, but I have to.
I said, Pete and General Raisin Kane, I think.
This thing's going to be settled very soon.
Here they go.
Oh, that's too bad.
Pete didn't want it to be settled.
It's, uh, it's these guys are doing a great job.
That's a good attitude, though, Tom, right?
They were not interested in settlement, they were interested in just winning this thing.
Yeah, please, Mr. President.
So, again, all indications seem to be that we're moving towards something.
I hear Don saying, you know, we got to get a regime change and that that's the only way this whole thing is going to work out.
While he said, you know, we're not really interested, you got to kind of read between the lines here.
So, on the one hand, Trump's like, well, we don't really need a regime change per se, but yet.
It sounds like they're getting some kind of regime change.
And I say that with Venezuela as an example.
Now, Venezuela doesn't have the religious zealots, right, clouding it.
But you could argue, you could, right, that socialism itself, the way they want to practice it, is a form of religion.
I know Delcy.
I've interviewed her a couple of times.
I have communicated with her.
I know everybody down there, both sides.
And what I would say about Delcy over, say, like Maduro, who had a bit of a crazy wife.
Yeah, she's just a little crazy.
And she apparently was very difficult to negotiate with.
And I've heard this from multiple sources.
both within the US and then around the world.
Okay, so you had Maduro's crazy wife who made it very hard to get anything done.
And as they were trying to basically work with Venezuela in some way, shape, or form and get the Russians and the Iranians and the Chinese out of there and make it more of a relationship direct with us, while at times he seemed to want to do that, apparently at times he and his wife were addicted to the money coming in from Timbuktu and enjoyed this sort of power play.
Delcy, it is believed, Delcy Rodriguez, who's now taken over, is much more of a steady hand and just wants to be in power in some way, shape, or form and is willing to work with us and reorient her economy to be an economy that works with us rather than Russia, China, Iran.
So that's the difference there.
And the question becomes, is this what's going on in Iran?
And can you divorce effectively the religion from the regime and from the government?
And that's one thing that's really critical because If they're just guided by this religious zealotness, right, you're going to wind up in a very difficult position once again in the future.
And so that's what you've got to protect against.
Again, back to the president saying, look, you know, it's not over till it's over.
And by the way, I trust no one.
We can say, Jason, this is regime change, right?
Divorcing Religion from Iran00:02:57
What makes you trust them?
I don't trust anybody.
I don't trust you.
I mean, that's only because I know you.
But if I didn't know you, I'd probably have more trust.
But I don't trust them.
Why do you say that?
Why do you say, what makes you trust?
Do you think I trust them?
I don't trust them.
Then why bother talking to them?
Because they're going to make a deal.
They're going to make a deal.
We're going to make a deal.
So what's that deal going to look like?
I have a feeling we're going to be running the Strait of Hormuz, or at least it's going to be the Strait of America before it's all said and done in some way, shape, or form.
I mean, maybe they won't actually put it on the map that way, but you can be pretty assured that you're not going to be running into the challenges that we've repeatedly run into over the last 47 years there in Iran.
Again, back to the president, even just indicating some of this in yesterday's press conferences he did with reporters.
I got to tell you, I'm just going to tell you, right, as a reporter, I'm like, whoa, what's come in?
Like, we just get so much sound coming in.
I mean, we never got anything like this from Biden, ever, ever, ever, ever, right?
And here with Donald Trump, we've got multiple, multiple communications every single day.
He always stops and talks to the reporters before he's going anywhere.
Well, we have, we just spoke to Israel a little while ago.
I think they'll be very happy.
This will be peace for Israel, long-term peace, guaranteed.
piece.
If this happens, and I can't guarantee it, but I think it's going to, my life is a deal.
That's all I do is deals my whole life.
I think this is something that's going to happen.
And why wouldn't it happen?
So tomorrow morning sometime, their time, we were expected to blow up their largest electric generating plants that cost over $10 billion to build.
It's a very good one.
There was no dearth of money.
And one shot.
It's gone.
It collapses.
Why would they want that?
So they called.
I didn't call.
They called.
They want to make a deal.
And we are very willing to make a deal.
It's got to be a good deal.
And it's got to be no more wars, no more nuclear weapons.
They're not going to have nuclear weapons anymore.
They're agreeing to that.
Any of that stuff, there's no deal.
All right.
So maybe we have a deal.
By the way, you're not going to hear that in the mainstream media.
The mainstream media, like, pounced on them for all of this to begin with.
And then they.
on CNN last night were doubting that he was even talking to the Iranians.
And then on CNN this morning, they had to report, oh, yes, he is talking to the Iranians.
We checked with our Iranian sources because they weren't going to take DJT's word for it.
No way.
They were all about checking with their own Iranian sources.
Long story short, something's going on and something's better than nothing, right?
I want to get to another big story I get to tell you about.
But first, a shout out for our friends at Balance of Nature.
Star Trek Sponsorship Balance00:08:16
You know Balance of Nature at balancinnature.com.
use code word Trish for a special offer, balance of nature.
I take it, my fruits and veggies every day because I put it on my food.
I'm not the best at always, I should be better at this.
I drink a lot of water.
I work out every day.
I try to do everything I can to take care of myself, but eating is a big part of that, right?
And it's hard, right?
I get three kids.
I get the show.
I've got 76 research.
I'm very, very, very busy.
And cooking, while I enjoy it enough, like it's not necessarily something I have multiple hours to do.
That's where balance of nature comes in.
They freeze dry all this stuff, so they pack in all those ingredients and they grind it up.
But I'm being very crass with how I say this because they have a very fancy scientific explanation, which you can read about at balancinnature.com.
But long story short, I'm getting the vitamins I need.
I feel good.
I love this stuff.
Everybody I talk to that takes it loves this stuff.
I told you about the kid's music teacher.
He's like, I can't believe you take that.
I take it too.
I was listening to your show and I'm like, I can't believe you listen to my show.
How about that?
Pretty good stuff.
Anyway, balancinnature.com.
Use the code word Trish.
They've been a terrific sponsor here on the show.
So we want to show some appreciation for them.
It would be great for me if you use code word Trish when buying Balance In Nature.
Star Trek any, what do we call them trekkies here?
Is that the I I knew this word at one point any Star Trek fans at all anywhere probably not lately right, because they've gotten really woke.
Well, they are no more.
They are no more, they just went bye.
You see they.
They came out with this really crazy show, this new Star Trek Academy, the Star Fleet Academy, and it just got canceled.
I mean it, It's ending after having already filmed season two, but it's only aired season one and nobody's going to give it a lifeline, because this thing was just so woke.
You know the expression, right?
You go woke, go broke.
And this one is living proof of it yet again.
This thing got canceled.
You know, End Wokeness, she's got a great account.
If you haven't followed her on Twitter, X, I highly recommend you do.
She put out something, I guess, in late February, so maybe about a month ago or so, saying that Star Trek just got its first gay Klingon.
Nothing wrong with that.
Nothing wrong with that.
But she's making the point that they clearly despise their fans.
The writers despise their fans.
And somebody else tweeting this out, they don't just hate the fans.
They hate Trek.
The crew doesn't even like each other or work together.
There's a constant infighting there.
The Federation is hated as colonists, etc.
Hmm.
Seven episodes in and the characters have nothing to offer.
Plots are boring.
Dialogue is millennial sloppiness.
It's just bad.
gosh, reminds me of Snow White.
Forgive me, I have not watched this version of Star Trek.
I did see it actually occasionally in my past.
You go back like 30 years.
All right.
So I have, I'm familiar enough, enough with the show.
But one of the things that the post millennial points out is that 87% of critics scored it as great, right?
Like they thought it was just fantastic.
They had the first gay Klingon there.
They had this whole like woke thing.
They were doing DEI training.
Yep, in the show.
And apparently that just didn't gel with the fans and with Americans and with viewers in general.
I mean, we know it's hard out there, right?
You get all this competition from the likes of me and other YouTubers and there's lots of demands on your eyeballs and your eye, you know, your viewing time.
But for whatever reason, this just didn't excite anyone except for the critics.
The critics loved it.
But only 51% of the audience said it was okay.
And then it never managed to crack the top 10.
in Nielsen.
In Nielsen ratings, it just didn't get anywhere near that.
So CBS Paramount, don't forget we were talking about David Ellison earlier.
He's come in, he's bought the thing, he's changing a whole bunch of stuff.
That's why CNN is scrambling to try, try to report the truth the best they can.
That's why CBS is suddenly trying to have both sides because, you know, their jobs depend on it.
Anyway, he's like, this show's not working, right?
Or somebody over there decided this show's not working and my job depends on it working, so we're getting rid of it.
This is despite The show introducing viewers to what they called a whole new group of characters, expanding the Star Trek universe.
Well, now it looks like the Star Trek universe may be kaput, like done, because apparently there's no other shows in development, period, that have anything to do with Star Trek.
So you're going to have to go watch the reruns.
Here's the scene that kind of got people worked up, and it's going totally viral online.
I want to show it to you.
I actually don't think it has any sound, so I'll just read you in case you're listening on Spotify what the actual discussion is.
Okay, so we're going back.
There's this one guy who walks into a bar.
Gosh, it sounds like it's going to be a joke already, right?
Who walks into a bar and he said, so you're getting ready for quantum chem tomorrow, right?
They're high schoolers, I guess, or maybe college or whatever the equivalent is.
Are you getting ready for quantum chem tomorrow, chemistry?
Definitely not, says the other guy.
No, says the other guy.
I don't know.
You seem ready.
And then he's kind of flirting with him, I guess.
You got a capable bearing.
And that's supposed to be some kind of, you know, pick up line.
Your bearing is also capable.
the Klingon guy says back to him.
So, didn't do so well.
Didn't do so well.
You know, all these companies, they really got to get with it, right?
Like, it's not that hard.
It's really not that hard to try and figure out what people are interested in.
The problem is they keep hiring the same prototype out of school and the schools.
Oh, let me tell you about the schools, right?
That's another show, another day.
But the schools have tried to just indoctrinate these kids and they've succeeded in many cases.
I mean, that's why Charlie's organization was so tremendous and influential and i'm so thankful for it in part, you know, because I get three little ones and they watch Charlie.
I didn't tell them to.
I'm like guys, I I would have loved to have gotten them an internship with him one day.
Um, he was just a terrific, terrific guy who really understood youth and was able to to really just start a movement.
But a lot of youth has been indoctrinated by our school system and they come out of that school system and out of college where they studied things like, you know, I don't know, gender studies or who knows what.
And then they try and go work at one of these entertainment conglomerates like a Disney or like, you know, Paramount in this case was producing this one.
And they only know what they know and they can only sort of write this genre.
And this genre is always woke and they're always trying to prove a point.
And nobody actually buys any of the points that they're proving.
I think, you know, like we're a pretty hospitable group here in America, right?
Like we're pretty tolerant.
But when you try to force feed us stuff, whether it be the Bud Light ordeal or whether it be this Starfleet Academy deal, people don't want it.
And they back away from it and it's reflected in the ratings.
And at some point, you know, thank goodness for capitalism, it catches up with these guys.
It's caught up with Disney and it's catching up here with Star Trek Academy or Starfleet Academy, whatever it's called.
Hey, listen, it's great to have you guys here.
One of the first things that we did at 76 Research, my financial company, When I started this one with my friend Rob Horton, the whole idea was to be sort of just good investors, right?
Like forget woke.
We don't want woke.
We just want good investments.
And companies need to remember that they got to turn a profit, not hire a bunch of purple-haired trans, who knows what, maybe they don't know what they are, people for their board.
Like you actually need companies that make money.
Gosh darn it.
And so this was part of our motivation behind starting 76 Research.
