We've got great content, including today it's a Wildcard Wednesday, which means we go a little bit wild on the internet.

We kind of look around at what's trending, what's going on, and we bring it to you for your perusal.

So, without further ado, now I will admit to you that I am recording this on the Tuesday before the Wednesday, and on this Tuesday, the President Trump is in Pennsylvania given a big rally.

I don't have sound of that for you, sorry, But I've got lots of other really interesting stuff, including this.

I don't know if you've heard about this case out of the United Kingdom, where to like seventeen year old Afghan asylum seekers were they and raped a fifteen year old girl and it's horrific.

And the lawyer for one of the young men said, look, they just didn't know any better, and so you should really just forgive them and let them go.

They come from a totally different society.

Well, listen to Nigel Farage and what he had to say about that.

Let's roll it and I'm sorry, but if you was a country allow young men who come from countries in which women aren't even classed as second class citizens, and you put them up enforced our hotels, allow them to work illegally, their attitude towards women is completely different to ours.

So the social effects of this are appalling as well.

So here's the thing.

Ultimately, both the young men were sentenced.

One has a detainer order as well, so there was justice in this case considering how you measure out justice.

But look, here's something essential about illegal migration, illegal immigration wherever it is.

If these two young men came from a society that's completely different, with completely different values from the UK, now you hope and you expect that they'll learn the laws, they learn to assimilate socially and in terms of what they're expected to do and how they're expected to act.

Apparently these two weren't, or even if they were, they decided to break the law anyway and rape a young girl.

Okay, So this is one of the things about all of this.

Not every country shares the other country's values and in this case the UK and Afghanistan, we had people from two very different kinds of societies where men do not look at in the same way and so look at them as objects.

And that is a thing, and it is real, and so I don't think it's wrong or xenophobic for a country that's in existence to expect others who come to their country to obey the law, speak the language after a period of time, even if it takes some time, and play by the same rules as everyone else who's a citizen of that country, and it has established.

I don't think it's that tough.

Every country has a unique set of values, and in this case, these two guys really didn't assimilate at all.

And now they're in jail and I think one is being deported.

I wanted to get that in because that was a really big case out in the UK, and it's really important to note.

If you bring people in and you let them work illegally, and again you house them and you give them all the benefits your country has to offer and you don't expect them to follow the rules, that's a recipe for social disaster, all right.

Speaking of social disaster, Randy Weingarten she's back on a podcast, and here she is talking about she's answering a question about all the chaos during COVID, and I want to remind you that the teachers' unions were especially prickly about keeping kids home, out of school and away from spreading their germs to teachers and other students.

Let's this is now here we are twenty twenty five.

Here's Randy Winingarten roll it.

I do wonder what you think, like looking back to that tumultuous period of time, do you think that teacher unions and Democrats have done enough self examination in the role they played in pandemic school closures?

Like were their mistakes made?

Yeah, of course there were, and there were mistakes made by everyone.

There was huge mistakes made by the Trump administration to not be clear, to not focus on safety as they were focusing on reopening it.

Reopening became political, not became something that we all should have prioritized.

Okay, Hello, you know what, when you don't have an answer for your own problems, when you can't come up with an excuse or you can't just own it, take responsibility for the mikestakes you make, just point at Trump and that White House just pointed the whole Trump administration.

There's your out, and a lot of people will just accept that, Yeah, we did things wrong, but so did everybody.

So did everybody?

Not everybody, I mean, I think Florida did some really right things.

I think there were other countries that never took kids out of school and everyone survived to tell So just own the mistakes.

Randy quit point in the finger, all right.

Erica Kirk is making the television rounds because her late husband, Charlie Kirk, has one last Bookook that is now being brought out for publication.

It's I think it's available now, and Erica, as his widow, is promoting it now.

I don't know if you've ever had your husband assassinated at the ripe old age of thirty two, but I'm guessing you haven't, and so you don't know what that's like, and you don't know what it's like behind closed doors versus what you have to do to present yourself in public, because now Erica Kirk is a public figure.

You know, It's amazing.

The day he was shot, I think she had like three hundred and fifty thousand followers on Instagram.

By the next morning she had five million.

I saw that for myself so instantly.

She became this representative of him, his family, and of turning Point USA.

But people whenever she smiles suggest, wow, she's not grieving at all.

Well, there's a commentator, a political commentator named Mary Catherine Ham, who was seven months pregnant when her husband was killed.

I believe he was hit by a car and died, and she has a little sympathy for Erica Kirk Rollett.

Yeah.

I think it's really fitting that Charlie's message that he left behind is not bare knuckle politics or even ideology, but pointing people toward God and toward a practical way of practicing their faith.

I think that's what he was very much into, particularly at the end of his life, and Erica is stepping into those shoes to communicate that as well.

When she notes that people don't know you, people don't know what's going on behind the scenes, I just want to note when she takes incoming and takes criticism about how she's living her life because she is out there and she is a public figure.

She's a public figure now because her husband was murdered in cold blood, and because she believes in his legacy, and because she wants to speak about it, because she smiles or speaks well, well, that means she's powerful.

She's a powerful woman of faith, and she is being given power to do this from a God who loves her.

And people don't understand that many the life she lives behind the scenes, she's probably shielding us from a lot of her innermost feelings.

And I really, as somebody who was widowed myself with two young children, I admire the strength she's showing and the way that she's had to step into these shoes and to do this, and I'm frankly to do a battle against darker forces who are trying to speak about Charlie's legacy themselves.

She's the person to do it, and she's doing a great job.

It really is amazing to think about what that would do to your life and how you have to present one face in public.

You don't have to, but she chooses to, because she's choosing to be strong in the face of all this horror in her life.

That are two young kids will probably never remember that dat at a certain point, except through pictures and videos and the rest.

And she's lost her husband in a brutal, unnecessary, targeted, evil attack, an assassination.

So for those who see her smiling on a stage and say, oh gee, there's grief for you, shut up, sit it out, because I bet you've never been through what she's going through.

All Right, you've heard about fraud in Minnesota.

This is where I live, so this is particularly important, but we're hearing about it in Maine as well, and it's probably coming to a state near you, so be prepared.

But really, what's going on in Minnesota.

I found a few videos that really explain it for people who aren't totally clear on how out of hand this is and what's going on.

I want to start with this reporter, a local reporter, and then we'll get to some national stuff.

But this local reporter from the ABC affiliate k STP here in the Twin Cities put together this little piece.

I want to roll it for you, Okay.

I just want to get this all out while it's still freshened my head.

That's me.

Investigative reporter Eric Rasmussen with five Eyewitness News.

I recently checked on this house in Burnsville, Minnesota, looking for info about a man named obde kerm Eley do you know where he is?

He fled the country in twenty twenty two, right before being indicted for fraud along with his boss and forty five others linked to feeding our future.

Investigators say, stolen taxpayer money paid for this house, and the FEDS filed paperwork to take it through forfeiture.

Do you know if the government is trying to take this house?

That's the voice of his ex wife, according to a young woman who also spoke to me through the door, ex husband.

She says a couple of years ago, the government came and she says they worked it all out.

The question in all of this is abd kerm Dlay is still listed as the owner of this house here, and obviously neighbors around here have questions about what's going on with the efforts to recover the proceeds of all the fraud.

So we'll keep asking questions.

Well, thank you for doing your job, and I hope more do because immediately now again, this fraud is so enormous and so broad in its reach, but people want to start pointing the finger at others, not the people who committed the fraud, but at others.

Why why do we do this?

So?

Why when we find an illegal immigrant in another state and he gets arrested and sent to Venezuela, and we take his side instead of the side of the people he victimized.

Why why do we do that?

Why do we take the side of men who want to compete against women instead of the side of women who are being treated unfairly in that whole mess.

So I don't know why, but let's go on to the next one.

I thought Senator John Kennedy of Louisiana, even though he's way down in Louisiana, he's in DC and he understands what's going on here.

I love listening to this man.

He's been on our podcast.

You should look it up and listen to that one here he talks about it and enjoy.

Feeding our futures.

Went to the state and said, have you stop giving us this money.

We're going to call you racist and we're going to sue you, and you don't want to be in the news.

Now here's what.

And you said, well, why didn't the employees do something?

They did.

They told the people up, the people with the flags in their office, and you know what, they did nothing.

You know why, Well, here's what the legislative auditor in Minnesota said.

He said that the threat of litigation and the negative press affected how the state politicians used their regulatory power.

And here's what a fraud investigator in the Attorney General's office said.

She said, there is a perception that I'm quoting now that forcefully tackling tackling this issue would cause political backlash from the Somali community, which is a core voting block.

For Democrats.

And in fact, one of one of the other wits in the.

Fraud investigation said, look, total prosecutors, let me just give you a cold dish of truth.

The eighty thousand voting block of folks with Somali ancestry.

You got to have their votes to win in Minneapolis, and if you're a Democrat, you can't win Minneapolis, you can't win in state.

So the politicians did nothing.

I hope you followed all of that.

But basically, here in Minnesota, we have a very large Somali population, and it seems that the politicians curry favor with them to keep them as a voting block.

Not very different from what they do with let's say, the teachers' unions or other unions.

It's kind of like almost like an unspoken union.

I'm not saying every single member of that community votes one way or the other, but they were treated like that by the Governor Walls, by his Lieutenant Governor Peggy Flanagan, by the Attorney General Keith Ellison, and potentially ilan Omer could be implicated here as well.

I'm gonna let the facts come in, but she certainly was rubbing elbows with some of the people who've been thrown in jail over this.

So this isn't over and it's despicable.

And again, if people were going to blow the whistle on these groups, they would be called racist.

It was bad.

It is bad.

We'll see just how far it reaches.

It wasn't just feeding our future.

There was an autism case as well.

Now over the weekend you may not have seen it on face the nation, but Treasury Secretary Scott Bennett Bessent excuse me, Scott Bessant was on and he was asked about this particular fraud.

Let's hear what he had to say.

That money has gone overseas and we are cracked that they both to the Middle East and Somalia to see what the uses of that have been.

Okay, but you have no evidence of that money being used to fuel terrorism.

Well that's what point, which is what some conservative writers are.

That's why it's an investigation.

We started it last week.

We'll see where it goes.

But I can tell you that, you know, it's terrible.

You know, the representative Omar tried to downplay it, said, oh, it was very it was very tough to know how this money should should be used.

You know, she was gaslighting the American people to her.

Yeah, but you know, when you come to this country, you got to learn which side of the road to drive on, you got to learn to stop the stop signs, and you got to learn the not to defraud the American people.

Yeah, that'd be nice.

I noticed that she said conservative writers have suggested that money was going to al Shabab in Somalia, a terrorist terrorist group.

I think that that is why conservative writers, so is what she's saying then, that liberal writers aren't looking into that because anytime money goes into Somalia, it's usually picked through by al Shabab, which is a terrorist group.

So that seems to be the common knowledge among people who understand that.

We'll see, I'm going to let the facts come out.

But she had to say some conservative writers.

Okay, then she had on ilhan Omar.

So let's roll that.

I want to pick up on where the Treasury Secretary just left off.

He alleged that people who were tied to you or your campaign were involved in this broad, brazen scheme to rip off the Minnesota state welfare system.

Do you want to respond to that?

Do you know what he is referring to?

I really don't, and I don't think of the Secretary of himself understands what he's referring to.

We obviously had people who were able to donate to our campaign that were involved.

We send that money back a couple of years ago.

And actually I was one of the first members of Congress to send a letter to the Secretary of Egg asking them to look into what I thought was a reprehensible fraud that was occurring within the program.

Well listen, I'm gonna I think the Secretary knew exactly what he's talking about.

I think ilhan Omar is doing everything in her power to distance herself from this, including maybe, yes, she did write a letter to the Secretary of Agriculture, maybe that's true, But did she write it when she saw the writing on the wall that this was all coming to pieces.

I don't know.

I don't know, So time will tell, won't it.

Let's keep asking the questions because certain people committed crimes here and it was highly disproportionately the Somali community.

So does that make every Somali bad?

No?

I don't paint with those kinds of broad brushes.

But this was certainly coordinated and it originated with a very particular constituency of Minnesota.

All right, let's leave with one to make you smile.

We talk a lot about illegal immigration, and one of the reasons I get so tickled with a video like this is that, you know, my ancestors came here legally and became part of the fabric of America.

And my dad was incredibly proud to be an American.

And he always told me he won the lottery by being born here, and you're in the greatest country on earth.

And I still believe that to this day.

So here is a guy who is so happy and proud and excited because he did it the right way.

Take a look.

I found out this morning that June ninth will be the day my wife and I will finally become American citizens.

It's hard to express how grateful I am for the privilege to call myself American and to place my hand on my heart to pledge allegiance for flag that has been a symbol of freedom and opportunity for me these past eighteen years.

One question I've been repeatedly asked as an immigrant is to explain the difference between America and my home country.

My answer has always been simple.

In my home country, I woke up every day bring in with ideas, inventions, and dreams.

The problem was, my ideas stayed ideas, and my dreams stayed dreams, and eventually I became tired of limiting my ambition to the socioeconomic standing of my country.

In America, I can do.

I can wake up with an idea and build a prototype by sundown.

In America, I don't ever have to worry that my dreams are too ambitious to become reality.

That is why I came here and the reason I feel privileged to become.

A Fellows love it.

And you know, I've heard that a lot about some of these societies where people are coming from, that they just feel so limited that they can't do the things they want to do because the governments don't allow it, governments don't want free enterprise, whatever the case may be.

But that is here.

It always has been, it always will be.

And you will hear, if you're in college right now or headed there even maybe before that, how bad this country is, how bad our history is.

And it's just so shortsighted and destructive and counterproductive to overlook all of the good that has come out of this country, all of the change, the evolution, the improvement, the growth, all of it.

It couldn't happen but for our constitution, our declaration of independence, our civil war, all of those things that has made this country what it is.

So is there room for improvement always?

Always, But I wouldn't take any other place.

And with that, I'm going to say, be brave, do good, and we will see you next time.
