Ilhan Omar faces potential deportation and denaturalization under federal codes 18 USC 101 and 8 USC 1451 as JD Vance alleges immigration fraud involving her father's ties to the Somali regime. Speculation mounts over a sudden net worth jump from negative $50,000 to $30 million via husband Timmy Walz's Rose Lake Capital, while Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent offers 30% whistleblower rewards for uncovering a $19 billion Minnesota fraud ring linked to Hawala money laundering. Amidst these claims, the episode connects the controversy to broader political maneuvers, including a new deportation bill, Senator Marsha Blackburn's denaturalization push, and conflicting narratives on national security funding.

Omar Immigration Fraud Confirmed00:14:50
Ilhan Omar finally reacting here, losing it, if you ask me.
I mean, she's near tears over what may be coming as JD Vans confirms, confirms, ladies and gentlemen, that they believe very strongly with total conviction that Ilhan Omar committed fraud in her immigration application.
So she's starting to show the wear and tear.
Welcome to the program, everyone.
I am Trish Regan.
Please make sure you subscribe, share, like, all that good stuff.
We are live.
We're live, baby.
And Ilhan Omar is starting to feel the pain.
She's starting to actually act really, really worried.
If you listen to what she's saying here and the no kings thing that happened, of course, over the weekend, the irony of that, right, is that obviously we don't have a king.
Obviously, that's how America was founded.
And obviously, you know what, if we had a king, so to speak, as they're suggesting we might, because that's a reference, of course, to Donald Trump, then they wouldn't be out there protesting like this.
But, you know, don't tell them.
Don't get in the way of their story.
Anyway, Ilhan Omar is sounding pretty darn desperate here as she realizes what is closing in, not just on her, but her entire community there, which may go right up in flames over this $19 billion fraud scandal.
Right, Ilhan?
In the United States of America, we pledge allegiance to the Constitution and the flag, not to a person or a king.
Right.
You know, kind of stating the obvious there, but Ilhan decked out in her really fancy gear, the black leather.
I mean, look at that.
Look at the signage even.
I mean, the whole optics of this thing is just a complete and utter mess.
If you ask me, a complete, total mess.
But, you know, they're doom and gloom, right?
They're doom and gloom and they look scary and maybe that's all intended to be that way.
But I'll tell you, this No Kings thing that they had going on all over the country, sponsored by none other than the communists in China.
Seriously, you want to know where the backing for all this stuff is?
Look no further than this Neville Singman and even the New York Times and the Daily Beast and Huffington Post and others have done pieces on him.
Detailing where that money is coming from.
He's not even allowed back in the country.
The minute he is, he'll be arrested, you see, because he has been avoiding all questioning by Congress.
But there's Ilhan in all her glory, sounding pretty darn scared.
And you want to know why?
You'd be scared too if the vice president of the United States just said this on Friday afternoon.
Ilhan Omar definitely committed immigration fraud against the United States of America.
Definitely committed immigration fraud.
So now, where does she have to go?
But one.
Big bad place.
It's big bad Donald Trump all over again and over again and over again.
And we in Minneapolis, we're going to stand up to him.
Well, good luck with that because the Treasury Secretary, we're going to get to this in a second, just announced billions of dollars in rewards for anybody who comes forward with intel and information leading them to figure out just who exactly is responsible for the $19 billion missing in the state of Minnesota.
Minnesota, so take that one, Ilhan.
But we are here because Donald Trump just has not chipped away at our democracy.
He has taken a wrecking ball to the very foundation of what makes America great.
He has tried to intimidate Minnesotans, he has tried to make us afraid, he has tried to divide us.
But we stood strong.
You think?
We have had each other's back, and we have never bent the knee.
You think?
Okay, so again, lots of applause.
And by the way, you know who else got out there?
Little Timmy Walls.
Little Timmy Walls, who I believe the joke was, yeah, we have no kings, but apparently we got some queens.
It was a meme on social media, what can I say?
So, you know, he's out there in all his glory, campaigning for all the tampons in the boys' restrooms, and he's saying, look, They're not going to take us down.
You know, I stand for the Somalis of Minnesota.
Okay, great.
We're glad you stand for the Somalis of Minnesota, but it's going to get harder and harder because you see the White House is zeroing in on this alleged fraud ring.
Well, not just alleged, for goodness sakes.
You got 84 convictions or all the way up to?
Do you know that one of them used to work on Ilhan Omar's campaign, which is why the White House keeps going back to this queued for JD?
I'm worried about the immigration fraud.
I'm also worried about what did Ilhan Omar know?
About what was happening in the Somali community and why was nobody looking into it until, frankly, Donald Trump came along?
Yeah, that's kind of a good question.
Our thanks to Benny Johnson, who did that interview there at the White House on Friday.
But wow, I mean, hey, I would say this you know, he's coming to the realization that she committed fraud.
And one of the questions he's had is, what do we do about it?
In other words, you got to deport her.
Okay.
And this is why she's starting to freak out because.
It's grounds for denaturalization.
Any kind of fraud that was committed in that original documentation leaves you with no choice, really, than to denaturalize one, Ilhan Omar.
And this is a big deal, right?
Because you're talking about a member of Congress.
I don't want to treat this lightly.
I really don't, guys.
I mean, I know it's fun to joke about it, but it is a member of Congress that you're talking about deportation with.
And the reason you're talking about deportation at this stage in the game is because it is believed and, in fact, now confirmed by the Vice President of the United States of America that she committed fraud.
on her immigration forms.
Well, that automatically triggers denaturalization under code 18 USC 101, false statements to the federal government.
So did she make false statements?
And also 8 USC 1451, procurement of citizenship by concealment or misrepresentation.
So kind of similar things, right?
And what is the concern in terms of concealment or misrepresentation?
Few different things going on.
We've talked about it before, but just briefly to jog your memory here, there is concern that her father may not have been on the up and up, that the father may have had something to do with the Somali regime.
that was actually behind all of that bloodshed there in Somalia.
So if that's the case and he presented himself as just a do-gooder, and in fact we know that he's not, then that leaves his citizenship invalid, which thereby, as his daughter, makes her citizenship invalid.
The other question is, did she lie about her age?
Was she really older?
Was she really not 17 when she got that citizenship?
That's another question that keeps up.
And then, you know, don't forget the question about the marriage itself, but that's a little bit different.
So did she actually commit fraud?
In her immigration process.
That's what I'm hearing here from JD.
And just to remind you, this is what he's saying, and we'll listen to it and dissect it together.
Here we go.
Ileana Omar definitely committed immigration fraud against the United States of America.
Okay, well, actually, that could be different.
Forgive me, because he's saying she committed immigration fraud against the United States of America.
That, in fact, could be the marriage, in all seriousness, the marriage to the second guy, Ahmed.
It's floated in some circles that it may have been the brother.
It doesn't even need to be the brother.
In other words, if this was a fake marriage, a fraudulent marriage, then that in and of itself is enough to say, hey, she committed fraud against the immigration system in America.
And that would actually once again trigger denaturalization.
Why do we think it could potentially be fraud?
Well, she's married to one guy apparently within her community, although she didn't get the actual certificate or the paper, you know, from City Hall.
She waited to the second guy.
That's the one she got the certificate from City Hall for.
And yet they apparently never spent much time together.
He took off to be educated in another state.
And in the meantime, she went back to the first Ahmed and had another kid with him.
So a little sus, just a little sus, almost as sus as that winery, right?
That has no vineyard.
So this second marriage is one of the big sticking points.
And I think also the concerns about her father, et cetera, also big sticking points.
But just to go back to what also the vice president is saying here, the fraud ring, the fraud ring itself, that's what she's so freaked out by.
That's why she's saying, we've got to stand up to Donald Trump.
He's trying to turn us against each other there in the state of Minnesota.
And the reason she's saying this is because they're starting to zero in.
Not just zero in on her in Minnesota, but they're taking this whole thing global all the way to Somalia, all the way to Kenya, all the way to Dubai, all the way to South Africa.
Again, listen to his words here carefully.
I'm worried about the immigration fraud.
I'm also worried about what did Elion Omar know about what was happening in the Somali community and why was nobody looking into it until Franklin.
Until President Trump.
Okay, so again, you have only to look at her records, her documents, in which she states her net worth is around 30 million bucks.
So negative 50,000, now suddenly 30 million.
How does that happen?
Well, she married a guy named Timmy Walsh.
Sure, she paid him well, really, really, really well.
I mean, $2.8 million to run her campaign?
Maybe he deserves it.
Maybe he should have been paid even more, right?
He's got to run her campaign and then marry her.
But here's the conflict with that.
It's that they're married, so she's effectively paying herself.
That's like a no-go thing in and of itself.
But these records are massive inflations in wealth, and that brings us back to the husband's venture capital firm.
Nobody seems to understand.
how it's suddenly worth so much money.
It doesn't make any sense unless, of course, those deals it was doing in South Africa for solar panels were really, you know, lining the pockets.
And lining the pockets in ways that, well, would be construed as money laundering.
So if this is money laundering, then they're going to have some real problems.
Again, JD's making the point that Ilhan and, of course, what's his name?
Timmy.
How can I forget?
Timmy Minette.
Just remember, Minette worth.
She's thinking to herself the day they were married, my net worth is going through the roof because I married Timmy and we've got this Rose Lake Capital venture capital firm.
And now the question is, was this actually just a money laundering machine?
And was everybody pouring their money into Rose Lake Capital?
And then it was getting sent overseas to places like South Africa, Somalia, Dubai, Kenya?
This is where the investigation is now leading.
Well, these are the questions that they have to answer.
These are the questions that they want to know.
Again, they said it themselves.
that there was some kind of deal to do solar panels in South Africa.
Then you had the business partner getting some $10,000 ticket to go all the way to the Middle East for another business deal he was working on.
I mean, it's all very, very shady.
So it comes back to how does the government prove this?
If $700 million went out of the city in Minneapolis over two years, and that's what was declared, right, by TSA, that's what they actually declared.
Imagine how much went out that wasn't declared.
Was this all part of the hand-to-hand, mouth-to-mouth, person-to-person Hawala money system?
And can you get at it?
Well, you know who knows how to get at it?
None other than our Treasury Secretary of the United States.
He knows how to track every single dollar.
Scott Besson is putting out rewards, all right?
Rewards, big time.
This just being announced today, up to 30%.
So we're talking billions of dollars potentially that could be rewarded in Minnesota and elsewhere.
And elsewhere, let's be really clear, because it's not just Minnesota, it's also California and a few other states that are wrapped up in all of this.
Let's go to the Treasury Secretary speaking on Another one of my former employers.
Gosh darn it, it's good to be over here.
Please make sure you subscribe, share, like, all that.
Here he is speaking to CNBC this morning.
It's very exciting.
I think it's going to be a great way to ferret out waste, fraud, and abuse, starting in Minneapolis, which has been ground zero.
So we are encouraging whistleblowers who know about fraud, people who are stealing from the American taxpayer, to come forward.
At Treasury, we're setting up a website, and we will be giving rewards up to 10 to 30 percent of the fines that we levy.
Wow.
So up to 10 to 30 percent, you get up to 30 percent on the fines.
Now, I don't know how that works because I would think if you steal a billion dollars, the fine should be like one and a half billion dollars, right?
Like it shouldn't be like 10 million.
I would think it would be at least the amount that you stole and then some.
So if that's the case, you could talk about a heck of a lot of money.
I mean, this could be monstrous.
And what he's betting on.
is greed, okay?
Total, pure, raw greed.
He said it himself.
Take a listen to Treasury Secretary of the United States, Scott Besant, explaining how he's convinced he's going to get it all.
We will find out who's done this.
We are going to put in effect a whistleblower program.
And my sense is that the rats will turn on each other.
It's like the scorpion, it's in their nature.
Woo!
Okay, that's an aggressive thing to say.
But he's like, they're all going to rat each other out.
And once they do that, we have our case.
This is what the president's been asking him to build, of course.
And he, as Treasury Secretary of the United States, has a duty, both through his oversight of the IRS, as well as his oversight of terrorist financing.
Because do not forget, one of the big things underlying all of this is concern that if it was part of the Hawala system and you've got money coming out of Minneapolis and making its way to Somalia, that that is Hawala that's involved and Hawala always takes its cut.
And that gets fed out to terror organizations.
So he has a duty there as Treasury Secretary to track this money down.
And he promised.
He would.
Here he is getting into it on CBS about a month or two ago.
Watch.
The president told you, though, this week to look into Somalis who, quote, ripped off that state for billions of dollars.
He said they contribute nothing.
What exactly are you investigating?
Well, Margaret, to be clear, the initial fraud that was discovered by the IRS, for which I'm the acting commissioner, was discovered by the IRS Criminal Investigations Unit.
This was not an endogenous thing that the state of Minnesota decided we had to go in.
And clean up the mess for them.
And this is part of the continued cleanup.
A lot of money has been transferred from the individuals who committed this fraud, including those who donated to the governor, donated to Representative Omar, and donated to A.G. Ellison.
Musk Twitter Compensation Scandal00:12:12
But they've been transferred to something called MBSs.
And those are.
Mortgage back security?
What do you mean?
Sorry?
Transferred to what?
These are money the Bureau.
Services and they are wire transfer organizations that are outside the regulated banking system.
And that money has gone overseas, and we are tracking that both to the Middle East and to Somalia to see what the uses of that have been.
Okay.
But you have no evidence of that money being used to fuel terrorism at this point, which is what some conservative rioters are alleging.
That's why it's an investigation.
We started it last week.
We'll see where it goes.
That it's terrible.
Representative Omar tried to downplay it, said, Oh, it was very tough to know how this money should be used.
She was gaslighting the American people.
But we'll talk to her.
Yeah.
But when you come to this country, you've got to learn which side of the road to drive on, you've got to learn to stop the stop signs, and you've got to learn not to defraud the American people.
Whoa.
OK, so he's mad.
And you can see how mad the reporter is.
She's like, ruffling her papers and organizing them and then stomping them on the desk well we'll talk to her with ilhan omar okay we're not going to take your word for it but yeah she has been as he said gaslighting the american people trying to make it seem like it's no big deal i did in fact hear her excuses we don't need to go through them but i played them before you in the past of both her and timmy waltz saying well you know it was just so easy You know, and, you know, people didn't know you don't know better.
Then maybe we shouldn't be inviting people to this country that quote unquote don't know better.
Oh, that gets us back to you, Ilhan Omar, and the alleged fraud that you committed on your immigration application, which would actually lead us to have no choice other than to deport you.
Of course, if you did what we think you did and you were involved in some money laundering, those allegations still swirling out there.
And by the way, Besson's going to get to the bottom of them.
Pretend all you want.
We are all in this together, Minnesota.
We're not going to rat each other out.
But gosh, you've got billions of dollars on the line for a lot of people that are willing to do a lot of things for billions of dollars.
So Ilhan, I think it's kind of over.
And guess what happens then?
A lot of people are just going to get sent out because the House just passed a deportation bill for fraud.
We've got to see it come to fruition in the Senate.
I think it will be.
I think they want something even bigger, right?
Because Marsha Blackburn, the senator from Tennessee, is talking about not just deportation for fraud.
But she wants denaturalization of any existing U.S. citizen.
This deportation for fraud is only for people who are not U.S. citizens.
But they're talking about taking it one step further.
So, you know, there's going to be a lot of deportations coming.
And the president of the United States has said it can't happen soon enough.
He is blaming a group of people out there in Minnesota with you-know-who as the ringleader.
The Somali pirates who ransacked Minnesota remind us that there are large parts of the world where bribery, corruption, and lawlessness Are the norm, not the exception.
Importing these cultures through unrestricted immigration and open borders brings those problems right here to the USA.
And it is the American people who pay the price in higher medical bills, car insurance rates.
Hmm.
So, Ilhan, this is not looking good.
I realize the hubby is evading everybody.
Comer's been asking for all kinds of money documents, et cetera.
He doesn't want to give any over, right?
He's trying to make this just go away.
Maybe he's thinking, well, hey, you know, if the Democrats come in and they win midterms, maybe we can flip this.
It's not going to change the reality of if you broke the law, you broke the law.
The law's the law, okay?
That's pretty darn simple.
And yes, we are live right now, unless you're watching, of course, the West Coast repeat.
I call it the West Coast repeat.
This show is always available Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday.
We pin it to the top of the channel here at the Trish Regan channel.
So make sure that you subscribe to the channel.
Hit all the bells so you do know when I am exactly live.
But at this moment in time, yes, I see all your comments.
And I realize, Charles, you don't want to talk about Ilhan this much, but I got to tell you, this is symptomatic and symbolic of everything that's happening in this country.
If people are allowed to steal from us, if people are allowed to come here and commit fraud on their applications, as JD Vance has alleged, then we don't have much of a country now, do we?
I mean, you look at our massive, massive debt load and deficits that we're running every single year.
And, you know, we could chip away at this like nobody's business.
The estimate is it's somewhere around $600 and change billion that we're losing just to fraud every single year.
They're talking about $80 billion out in the state of California.
So believe me, I think this is a big deal, and I think everybody here should think this is a big deal.
Ilhan Omar doesn't think it's a big deal.
No, no, no.
She actually was saying that she's just a mom who's really not worth $30 million, just a working mom with student loan debt.
Unlike some of my colleagues, she said, and similar to most Americans, I'm not a millionaire.
I'm just raising a family while maintaining a residence in both Minneapolis and D.C., which are some of the most expensive housing markets in the country.
Huh.
Huh.
So what is that private equity firm then?
Forgive me.
Venture capital firm that talks about exclusive partnerships for global operators.
Huh.
She doesn't make her money the old-fashioned way, right?
Market's all up today.
Let me make sure that that is still true as we get to the close of trading.
Market's all higher because guess what?
People are thinking, you know, oh, you know what?
We actually took a turn for the negative.
So that's how you do know we're live.
We were higher earlier in the day.
But in fact, we are down about 600% now on the S&P, NASDAQ trading off about a percent, Dow Jones Industrial Average basically trading flat.
So at this point, there are still these, it's like a push-pull, like, you know, you're up, you're down.
There's a lot of volatility that's in the markets these days, of course, and that's all related back to the Strait of Hormuz and in any given moment, how people think we're doing on the Strait of Hormuz.
The president wants to rename it the Strait of Trump or the Strait of America.
And of course, Iran is not budging.
So we do have some great ideas for you even amidst. all this volatility over at my other company, 76 Research.
76research.com.
Go check out those portfolios, three different portfolios, 10 to 15 stocks in each and every single one.
And if you haven't subscribed yet, please make sure you do.
I got another big story I got to get to today because check this out.
The judge in the Elon Musk case was booted out of Delaware from those cases that she was overseeing because of, imagine this, bias against Ilhan.
Oh, say it's not so, but you know it is.
Okay, the judge did not like Ilhan Omar.
Oh, forgive me.
Ilhan Musk very, very much.
The judge in the Elon Musk case has just been booted right off.
Take a good look at her.
This is one Kathleen McCormick there in Delaware.
And the reason she's getting booted is because she showed some alleged bias.
She said, no, no, no, like I didn't do this or maybe like somebody got into my account.
It wasn't really me.
I don't remember liking that.
Even if I liked it, it's not that big a deal.
But she was on LinkedIn looking at some of the posts, and she liked something that was very derogatory on Elon Musk.
So she's kind of tipping her hand.
I mean, as if she hasn't tipped her hand enough.
Do you remember the compensation issue that was going on in Delaware?
Like the board decided on his compensation.
He decided on his compensation.
He was going to be compensated all in stock.
And it turned out that the stock went way, way up.
So when it came time for him to be compensated, people were freaking out saying, that's not fair, that's not fair, and that's not fair.
I was like, well, this is the deal.
You guys arranged, and he wasn't getting a salary or anything.
He agreed to.
Be compensated in his own company that he founded stocks.
Actually technically, I don't think he actually founded it initially.
He came in in the very, very beginning and built it up into what it is today.
So therefore therefore, you know he ought to get the deal that he executed, and they were like no.
And then, of course, the law firm that brought the suit, they wanted, I mean, this was a you know what load of money.
I can't remember the exact figure off the top of my head, but it was crazy crazy crazy, crazy.
Anyway, this is the judge that was all for making sure Elon couldn't get his money, to the point where he said, all right, see ya Delaware, i'm heading down to Texas.
And he did.
And so this is the new story just out.
Within the last couple hours, it came out that last week, lawyers for Musk demanded Mccormick Kathleen Mccormick recuse herself because she quote pressed a button indicated per the NEW YORK POST, by the way, indicating that she supported a post mocking Elon Musk for being found liable for tweets that he posted in 2022 about his 44 billion dollar takeover of Twitter.
Yeah, do you remember that like?
It looked for a brief minute that he might not have to take over Twitter.
And what did I tell you guys at the time?
Business reporter that I am, I told you he's not gonna have a choice like.
He's gonna be taking over Twitter whether he wants to or not.
I mean, maybe he had buyers remorse, he did the deal and he's like, holy god, I'm paying 44 billion dollars for this thing.
I'll tell you Elon, it was worth it now, wasn't it?
And it was the single most important thing, I think, towards making sure that we had some freedom of the press and we had our first amendment here in the United States Of America.
I mean, think about it.
Think about it when the other team was in charge.
Heck, they let the ayatollah post all he wanted, but Donald Trump was coming down.
You know how many friends I have that got their twitter accounts taken away under the last.
I'm going to call them the regime.
You're talking about new kings.
Wow, I mean, you could only say certain things right.
Well, this was uh, this was a big deal.
So there were a couple of tweets that the jury found misleading back at this particular time.
And as a result, there was a big lawsuit out in California.
At the time, apparently Musk was saying, well, you know, this merger is temporarily on hold because he was concerned about any fake spam bot accounts.
So maybe he wasn't going to pay this much.
Again, I told you at the time, don't listen to him.
And I like Elon, okay?
A lot of you were like, Trish.
And I'm like, you know, it's nothing against Elon.
It's just that he signed a deal.
He agreed.
With no due diligence, right?
He said, i'm just buying it as is, so you're, but it's like you buy the house as is.
You say i'm going to pay cash and i'm not going to do any checks on this thing.
We don't need to make sure that the roof is okay or the foundation's okay, i'm just buying as is.
Well, that's what he did with this company, and so he also sent out a tweet saying that fake accounts could represent much higher than 20 of Twitter's users, and stated that the deal could not move forward unless Twitter's ceo could prove that the bot percentage was actually around the five percent level reported in the filings.
And so They're saying, you know, he really didn't have that much information to go on.
This was his opinion and he shouldn't have been tweeting this stuff because that affected the deal.
And as a result, I guess it'll probably get appealed.
But the judge decided that, okay, you know, they have a point.
So somebody posted about this.
This is a LinkedIn post that came out.
And I realize the lettering is really small for all of us right here.
But basically the post was saying, ha, ha, ha, you know, Elon, now you have to pay for that because it turns out, you know, you were wrong and we were right.
That's the short version of it.
And what did this judge do?
Apparently she liked it or her account, her account liked it.
And so Musk's legal team went in there about five days ago and they said, hey, we need a recusal for this lady because she's supposed to not be biased, but she's totally biased.
I mean, this reminds me of the Trump cases, right?
All over again.
So you get some biased judge.
Now she says, no, I'm not biased.
I'm not biased.
This was not intentional.
I didn't know that my account liked it.
Warren Pension Investment Bias00:05:23
I didn't know what happened.
You know, I've had some problems.
My account got hacked, this, that, and the other.
And so it's not my fault.
But anyway, nonetheless.
The motion for recusal rests, she said, on a false premise that I support a LinkedIn post about Mr. Musk, which I do not, in fact, support.
I am not biased against the defendants in these actions, but the motion for reassignment is granted and should be obvious.
I'm going to go on a limb and say, yeah, it kind of should be obvious, right?
Like if you're actually, or whoever that's using your account is liking posts that are making fun of the guy.
Whose fate you're supposed to decide.
Not a good look.
Not a good look.
Okay, this is amazing.
Donald Trump is freeing up the capital markets to everyone.
Okay, in the way it's been in the past, you couldn't invest in certain things, right?
Because everybody just assumed you weren't smart enough.
And so you have your little 401k and you only get to choose from like 10 different options.
It's like this, that, and the other.
Well, it turns out pensions, for example, they get to invest in all kinds of things.
Sophisticated investors.
get to invest in all kinds of things from venture capital to private equity to real estate deals you name it and so donald trump came along and said well this is not very fair and elizabeth warren was like what are you talking about we can't allow we can't allow people access to all these things i mean they're going to ruin their lives right you know elizabeth warren president just loves her right And I just want to thank you because you're very, very special people.
You were here long before any of us were here.
Although we have a representative in Congress who they say was here a long time ago.
They call her Pocahontas.
But you know what?
I like you.
So funny.
It was funny.
It was funny.
Okay, one of his best moments.
So Elizabeth Warren is not too happy about the latest and greatest executive order just signed today, fresh off.
the press says Trump is signing this order to allow for alternative investment funds to all Americans.
So what does this mean?
It means, oh, you're going to get to invest in all kinds of things that you weren't allowed to invest in before.
And according to BlackRock, you know, that's important because over a 40-year time period, guess what?
It could mean 15% more in your portfolio.
Now, it's not guaranteed.
It's definitely more risky, but they'll tell you that, right?
And we're all smart people here.
If you're putting money away for 40 years, are you willing to take on a little bit more risk with the idea that you get a little bit more upside?
Maybe you are.
Maybe you aren't.
But shouldn't it be your decision to make if it were up to Elizabeth Warren and Bernie Sanders?
You never get to make decisions like that, right?
Because they're the ones that know better.
They think they're the government knows everything, period, full stop.
You shouldn't be able to decide your own money's destiny because you might make a mistake.
Well, you know, if you make a mistake, it's kind of your problem, right?
That's how it's supposed to go.
But, you know, these two go back a little bit.
I mean, even Besant was getting into it with her recently.
The president also made a joke about you that I won't repeat, Senator Warren.
That was the joke.
He said he had reservations.
Oh, actually, I will.
If this was a joke, why not?
Did you hear that?
They're talking about a joke?
He said, oh, yeah.
The president made a joke about you, too, Senator Warren.
He said he had reservations.
Just say so.
It was a joke.
And he made a joke about you, too, Senator Warren.
Yes, he did.
Got a lot of laughs.
Got a lot of laughs.
Oh, yes.
A lot of laughs.
And poor Elizabeth Warren is.
You know, I'm looking forward to seeing her fury here.
The executive order that says, guess what?
You can make your own decision on your own money, your own money that you earned, that you worked for, and that you are investing.
I mean, it's funny that it's that concerning, right?
I think that that's alarming that it's that concerning because she thinks everybody's stupid.
Well, maybe she's not that bright.
Maybe that's really, you know, if we're doing a deep dive, deep psychological dive into one Elizabeth Warren, we'd find out she's not that bright.
She knows it and she knows she'd lose everything if she had the chance to put it in a venture capital firm.
Just don't put it into Ilhan Omar's hubby's firm and I think you'll be fine.
We've been criticized by a couple of American Peronists like Senator Warren.
So, and, you know, she and.
It's a compliment.
She has no idea what she's doing.
Nasty, horrible senator.
Go ahead.
Other than that, I like her very much.
Yeah, and she and her protege in New York, Mandame, who I don't even think he's a Peronist.
I think he's more of the.
Communist.
Communist Chauvinismo.
So he has been heavily criticized by Elizabeth Warren for all of his economic policy, the president that is, including his desire to make sure that everybody has a chance to invest their money freely.
And this is something that for whatever reason really irritates the socialists.
I mean, I guess they don't want you to have any money to invest anyway.
ICE Funding Political Standoff00:04:05
They just want you to give it all over to Uncle Sam so that they can dish it out to all those daycare programs.
Yeah, the daycare programs to provide the fraudsters with a little bit more cash, right?
Well, listen.
It's done by executive order.
Freedom to prosper.
Democrats are getting called out even on ABC and CBS.
This is unbelievable because they wanted to sit and prevent TSA agents who, by the way, don't make a lot of money.
The average salary for a TSA agent, I was looking at this today, is like around $35,000.
So they're not getting the $35,000 a year because the Democrats don't want them to have it because they're trying to make a point.
Well, this is not going over well.
The president just humiliated them saying, Yeah, well, guess what?
We're going to pay them by executive order.
So he did announce that they're getting paid, and I can confirm right now they got their first paycheck today and includes the back pay.
So, hallelujah.
Okay.
That's a big deal, guys.
And yet, even ABC was at the point of no return with this Senator Van Hollen.
He's the guy that went down to, You know, South American had the margarita, alleged margarita.
He says it was just a glass of water with the guy that they had deported.
Anyway, here he is back for another round on ABC where they don't even know what to say to him.
Watch.
I guess what's confusing here is you have fought and blocked the funding for the Department of Homeland Security because you object, as you just outlined, to what ICE has been doing and you wanted to force changes.
And yet, The only thing that has been assured throughout all of this is that ICE already has the money.
Because as you said, $75 billion passed in the budget bill last year.
So you're holding up the entirety of the Department of Homeland Security because you object to ICE and you want changes to ICE.
But through it all, ICE continues to have the money.
John, we're not holding up all of the money for all the Department of Homeland Security.
That's just a false statement.
We have said repeatedly, repeatedly, we should fund TSA.
We should fund FEMA.
We should fund the Coast Guard.
We are not prepared to give ICE another $10 billion on top of the monies they already have and are using in many of these lawless operations.
We're not going to give them another $10 billion unless they make fundamental warrants, including the killing of American citizens.
And fighting over that additional $10 billion, you are holding up the rest of the Department of Homeland Security.
We're not holding it up.
I mean, wait a minute.
No, John, we're not holding it up.
We have now voted 10 times, but you're holding up unless it doesn't include money for ICE.
That's just a fact.
Just a fact.
Just a fact.
I mean, this is just not a good look.
When even ABC News, I mean, you're talking liberal ABC News, is saying to you, hey, Van Hollen, buddy, this is not right.
And you're going to continue to do this.
Even CBS is like, what are you getting out of this, guys?
This is not a good look.
Watch this Democrat on with Margaret Brennan over the weekend.
What did Democrats get out of this standoff?
Yeah, well, Margaret, the standoff is not done yet, right?
The president is illegally paying, apparently, TSA agents.
You had the Senate, as you pointed out with Mr. Homan, pass a bipartisan bill unanimously in the United States Senate to say, look, let's fund everybody else and let's deal with this thorny issue about ICE.
And then you had the Republican House say, hell no, we're not doing that.
And so now they're suing.
That's the upshot.
They're actually suing because they don't want the TSA workers to get paid.
Illegal TSA Agent Payments00:03:52
I mean, I'm just going to like say as someone who's media savvy, that's really not a good position for you all to be in.
And so once again, it's like the Democrats get backed into this corner where they are in the most impossible position.
So whether it be, okay, we're going to defend.
Boys that are competing in girls sports, naturally born men, right?
So transgender.
I mean, even the Olympics is like, okay, it's not happening anymore.
You saw the sound.
Go watch it on Friday.
Bob Costas was phenomenal.
He shocked CNN by saying, you know, this is just common sense.
Common sense, right?
There's a reason why the times are so vastly different in the pool between boys and girls.
So whether it's that issue, whether it's let's stand on the side of every illegal migrant that's a criminal issue.
Whether it's let's bring everyone in, come on, you know, 9-11 million, come on in and we'll give you cell phones, we'll give you credit cards for your weekly ethnically appropriate food, we'll give you a hotel with daily maid service.
I mean, you've got to be kidding me.
And so they're on the side of the illegal criminals in many cases, on the transgenders wanting to compete in women's sports.
And now they're on the side of the poor TSA workers who don't make that much to begin with, not getting paid.
So from a political standpoint, I would just say the Democrats are not very bright.
And it's important that the media actually call them out because, you know, they're getting hit quite hard.
I want to say briefly on the war, you know, the White House has been sounding really, really victorious.
And they keep telling us how great they're doing and how they're going to get the Strait of Hormuz.
And look, it's important.
You have Israel hitting new Iranian targets as the Mideast retaliation now spreads.
You've got President Trump warning of consequences.
If discussions with a new and more reasonable regime in Iran don't amount to a deal.
So he's been saying all along, I think we have a deal.
They've been giving us indications that we have a deal.
And then you're hearing something different from the Iranians.
They're like, we don't have a deal.
And I would say you've got some breakdown there in that there may be some cultural barriers.
And President Trump is like, well, they told me they had a deal, right?
And he's simple.
He's coming at it like, hey, this is win-win.
Everybody's going to make money.
Everybody's going to be safe.
And what he has to remember is these people don't see anything as win-win.
They don't see.
The economic opportunity they see only themselves getting diminished and, of course, their religion, which is so political and so important to them it's taken on such political significance therefore being diminished.
So it's possible that you know this is going on a little bit further.
Um the president also, according to the WALL Street Journal, there's an exclusive article today saying that the president is weighing military operations there to extract Iran's uranium and a mission, a mission like that would be, in fact, quite complex and risky and would put American forces there on the ground and jeopardize them.
But at the same time, it's like, hey, you can't have an Iran that's enriching its uranium.
And so you either deal with this now or you deal with this later.
That's the problem we're confronting.
Because if you allow them to continue on, then what are you going to be left with?
You're going to be left with a nuclear Iran.
Then you're going to have a whole other set of issues, okay?
So the Middle East overall, for its own sanity and safety, wants this.
You've got Israel obviously needing that safety in the Middle East, but all these countries, right?
Because nobody wants to be held hostage.
Iran.
As for China, you know, China's, it's good for China now, but what happens if Iran is totally controlling that Strait of Hormuz?
It actually does serve as a bottleneck where you're not getting the necessary energy out to the rest of the world, thereby driving up energy prices overall.
Nuclear Iran Future Risks00:00:45
So pretty important stuff we got going on today.
We'll continue our conversation on this tomorrow and we'll continue looking into the alleged money laundering of not just Ilhan Omar, but new questions.
We've talked about this in the past about one, Letitia James.
I remember Letitia James. apparently asleep at the switch, not doing her job, guys, not doing her job because she's too busy going and getting Trump and allowing for some money laundering that actually benefited the Iranians over the last couple of years to be happening right under her nose in the state of New York.
So I want to get to all of that tomorrow.
I love that you're here.
Thank you so much.
David Lorenzo, great to see you in the house.
I know we're a little bit earlier than usual, but it's Monday and I had so much to talk about with you.
So thanks for being here.
We'll continue tomorrow live here on The Trisha Regan Show.
