And while there's no shortage of serious problems we have and concrete steps we need to take to address rampant left wing violence in this country, there are other issues that need to be discussed as well. You Simply can't focus 100% of the time on the constant terrorism that the left is committing. As tempting as it is to only focus on that and all the deranged threats they're writing on bullets and Reddit and everywhere else. If you do that, you'll probably go insane. Not as insane as these people, but insane nonetheless. So we're going to begin this bonus Friday episode, which we're doing because we missed the show earlier in the week, a little differently than normal. We're going to start with a pop quiz because of course, nothing is more entertaining than a pop quiz. Everyone, all the kids love pop quizzes. Specifically, I'm going to give you a one question IQ test. Now, of course, a one question IQ test isn't a real thing. There's no possible way you could determine somebody's IQ from a single question. And if you don't realize that, then your IQ is probably 70. That's just, that's just science. But for the purposes of this monologue, I'm going to administer a one question IQ test. Here's the question. This is from a mathematician named Spencer Greenberg, who's done a lot of research on intelligence and statistics across large populations. He says that if you take it with a big grain of salt, the following question is a decent general indicator for whether your IQ is above 100 or below it, which is around the average of the typical American. The question reads, a carpenter is to furniture as a cobbler is to what? In other words, a Carpenter's relationship to furniture is analogous to a cobbler's relationship to what object? And here are your options. A tile. B, pot. C, frame, D, shoe. Which of those things, a tile, a pot of frame, or shoe, has the same relationship with a cobbler as the carpenter has with furniture? So let's really think about this one. It's, it's a, you know, this, this, this is a stumper. What's the relationship between a carpenter or furniture? Well, they fix furniture. What do cobblers do? By definition, they fix shoes. So the answer is D. The trick, to the extent that there is one, is that cobbler can also refer to a dessert. So maybe you'd be tempted to pick B, which corresponds to pot. But in, in context, that's clearly not what they're going for. Carpenters fix stuff. Cobblers fix stuff. The cobbler, dessert does not. Again, there's not much you can read into one question like this. If you don't know what a cobbler is, then you, you didn't really have a shot. But in general, according to Spencer Greenberg, people who have an IQ below 100, which is the statistical average in this country, generally don't answer this question correctly. They don't, they don't especially understanding relationships to things and analogies. They, they, they're dumb, so they can't do that. So if you nailed it, then congratulations. You're probably smarter than the average citizen of our current idiocracy. You're also much, much smarter than many people who earn advanced degrees in this country, including PhDs. This is data that frankly, doesn't seem like it could possibly be true. But it is, apparently so. Take a look at this chart, which was Produced by Matt McHague, a researcher in the Department of Psychology at the University of Minnesota. And take a look at it here. Look at where 90 IQ is on that X axis. As you can see, there's a fairly large number of people with college degrees as well as advanced degrees like PhDs that fall below the 90 IQ threshold. These are people who wouldn't get the cobbler question correct. They'd get that one wrong. And some of them have PhDs. They get a much easier question wrong, too. We were talking about people who are well below the average IQ of the typical American, and they're being awarded doctorates, degrees that allow them to educate future generations. This is a trend that, as you might expect, has accelerated in recent decades. This data is from a researcher named Sebastian Jensen, who's on substack, and it shows the average IQ of Americans over the age of 25, and it divides them up by educational attainment and sex. And as you can see across the board, average IQs are dropping for all of these levels. Men and women with college degrees, with high school diplomas and dropouts, they've all been getting progressively dumber since the 1940s. According to Matt McHague, the researcher at the University of Minnesota, people with IQs below 90 are finishing college at dramatically higher rates than they were in previous generations. Men with IQs below 90 are finishing college 6 times as much as while women with IQs below 90 are finishing College 10 times as much as they used to. Did you know any of this? Probably not. Now, at this point, there's no need for me to go into any great detail about the impact of diploma mill, civil rights movement, the dei. All these things factor into these numbers. All of these factors are leading to lower standards, drastically, drastically lower standards in colleges and universities. But you. You know about that already. What you may not know, even though it's a critical part of the story, is how much of the education system isn't simply erasing standards, handing out useless college degrees, and teaching propaganda. There. There are many schools that are doing something much more dangerous and un American in that. This is a message I received a few days ago from a woman named Leah who says that she was a teacher in Rochester, Minnesota, around a decade ago. She was pursuing a master's degree, and as part of that program, she was assigned to teach in a local elementary school. This is a school that claims to be focused on math and science, and when she arrived, she says she realized that everyone else was Somali and that the school was governed by Islamic law. Quote, When I showed up at the school, I was greeted by some Somalian men who were friendly but needed to explain things to me before I could observe in the classroom. They spent two days with me in private meetings to explain the culture and what would be expected of me. Long story short, the school is run by Muslim elders. They told me very directly that they are Muslim first, Somalian second, and they will never be American. If the boys became too American, they'd be shipped back to Somalia. This is an elementary school funded by our tax dollars. How many more schools are like this? She asks. Leah continued, quote, before arriving, I was instructed by my professor to not extend my hand to the elders that would meet with me. They don't shake hands with women that are not their wife. I also recall being told that the young girls might miss a few weeks of school and should not be academically penalized. It was clear this was for their genital mutilation custom, but I can't remember if they gave me the details or if I searched online afterwards for more information. This was something I shared with my professor because I didn't understand how we, as mandatory reporters of abuse, were being instructed to turn a blind eye. This was when my professor instructed me that maybe I wasn't cut out for being a teacher since I can't respect the cultures of others. The teacher also shared that only moms show up for parent teacher meetings because the Somalians practice polygamy and to not expect them to address misbehavior of the boys since the boys can do whatever they want and moms are thought of as less than their sons. Close quote. Now, if these allegations are true, which I can't confirm, but I have no reason to believe that they aren't, then we have a network of illegal Islamic schools teaching Sharia law. Basically, in this country, with your tax money, you're not teaching math and science. This is a major problem and as far as I can tell, no one's really talking about it. We're looking into it. There's no investigation of any kind. Even though this is a full on fraud, if it's true. If you look at the website of this particular school, there's no indication that it's an Islamic school. They claim to be a secular institution focused on math and science, which is how they get their tax money. But if you walk inside the school for just a few seconds, then evidently you realize what's actually going on. And when you look at the decline in American IQs and educational standards, as well as rising rates of crime and anti American ideologies. You can't ignore stories like this, which is just one anecdotal story of many, many similar stories. We are being conquered and humiliated in the process. And these Somalis aren't just defrauding our school system. Every week you hear about a new Somali scam that's been uncovered. Alpha News just reported, for example, that a woman named Asha Faran Hassan was just charged for her role in defrauding the state's autism program through a company that she ran called Smart Therapy. She says the first person who's been charged, she's the first person been charged in a wide ranging conspiracy from 2019 to 2024 to fraudulently obtain more than $14 million in state funds. Here's how the scam worked. Quote. Hassan and her partners allegedly recruited children into Smart Therapy by approaching parents in the Somali community and paying them monthly cash kickbacks in amounts ranging from $300 to $1,500 per month. Prosecutors say the parents would often threaten to leave Smart Therapy and take their children to other autism centers if they didn't get higher kickbacks. In fact, several larger families did leave Smart Therapy after being offered larger kickbacks by other centers, according to the charges, which say kickback payments came from fraudulent billings to Medicaid, where a child did not have an autism diagnosis and an individual treatment plan. Hassan and her partners worked with a qualified supervising professional to get the recruited child qualified for autism services. There was no child that Smart Therapy was not able to get qualified for autism services. Now, we've talked about the Somali community in Minnesota many times before, including how they've rallied behind a man who kidnapped and sexually assaulted a child. There is, as we've seen, there is no government program they won't defraud. This is endemic, okay? This is absolutely endemic, particularly in the state of Minnesota where you have Somalis committing fraud all over the place. I mean, it's happening constantly. In fact, just the other day we learned about yet another fraud they were running. This is. I mean, you could do an update like this every day. Here's the the Somali fraud of the day. This is from a press release last week that was issued by the doj. Quote, eight defendants have been federally charged with wire fraud for their roles in a massive housing stabilization fraud scheme. A federal investigation revealed that many program providers defrauded the system. These providers acquired the names of program eligible beneficiaries from facilities like addiction treatment centers. They then used those individuals information to submit inflated and fake reimbursement claims. Now here are the defendants names. Mokhtar Hassan Aden, age 30. Mustafa Daeeb Ali, age 29. Caled Ahmed Daib, age 26. Ab Tifa Muhammad Muhammad, age 27. There's some real classic, you know, Minnesota names in that list. Good amount of Scandinavian and German ancestry reflected there. It's not remotely as if Somalis are stealing from every single possible source they can get their hands on. It's not as if they're degrading our education system along with everything else. And it's not as if we should deport every Somali scammer immediately and remove the temporary protected status they've enjoyed in this country for no reason for more than three decades. No, that would all just be absurd. Let's just continue doing exactly what we have been doing. Let's just keep importing people and inviting them to defraud our system. En masse, which is what they're doing and have been doing for decades now. It's important to clarify, of course, that Minnesota isn't the only place where this kind of thing is happening. Virtually the entire Arab world is moving into this country, and it's very much a hostile takeover. Just to make the point abundantly clear, the the new mayor of Dearborn, Michigan, a Muslim named Abdullah Hussein Hamoud, just told a Christian minister, I think we played this clip, we'll play it again, that he's not welcome in his city. What happened is that the Christian minister objected to a couple of street signs honoring a man named Osama S. Who's promoted Hezbollah and Hamas. And here's how Mayor Abdullah responded. Watch. I mean, Hezbollah, you know, bombed the embassy in Beirut, including many Americans. So I just feel that's quite inappropriate. You are an Islamophobe, and although you live here, I want you to know as mayor, you are not welcome here. And the day you move out of the city will be the day that I launch a parade celebrating the fact that you moved out of the city because you are not somebody who believe in coexisting. Although you live here, you're not welcome. The Muslim mayor says to the white Christian American citizen. Try explaining this video to the Founding Fathers. I mean, it's maybe the purest form of projection we've ever seen in American politics. Abdullah Hussein Hamoud understands very well that although he lives here, he doesn't belong in this country. So instead of doing the honorable thing and leaving, he's casting Christians, Christians as the invaders. They're invading his community. It'd be a mistake to view this footage as the vile, anti Christian, anti American sentiment of just one evil and incompetent mayor. It is the prevailing view of the entire army of foreigners that we have imported into this country. That's why they elected this guy. And they're now running our cities, our governments, they're running our schools into the ground. In all three cases, there's a direct connection between declining IQs and standards in this country and the number of people with names like Abdullah Hussein Humoud who live here and who clearly want our country to resemble their homelands. Yesterday afternoon, Donald Trump was asked about one of these foreigners, a lawmaker named Ilhan Omar. There's very strong evidence that she committed immigration fraud. She's certainly a communist, who by her own admission, is loyal to Somalia, not the United States. And here's how Trump responded. You know, I met the head of Somalia. Did you know that? And I suggested that maybe he'd like to take her back. He said, I don't want to. Sometimes you can accuse Donald Trump of, you know, maybe embellishing a bit. You can say that he exaggerates at times for. For effect. This is not one of those times, and we all know it. He asked the President of Somalia to take Ilhan Omar back. He's been publicly requesting that they take her back for a very long time. And he said they don't want her, which was a predictable response. I mean, there's a reason that the main export of Somalia is Somalis. The only dubious part of the story is that there's actually a president of Somalia. I had to look that one up. Apparently they do have one. It's not just like a warlord. He really has the title of president. So that's something. In any event, there's also a very good reason at this point to. To end Somali immigration to this country completely, completely, regardless of what the President of Somalia says. They're openly flouting our laws. They're stealing taxpayer money that's intended for public schools and autism treatment and food banks and so on. They're generally not particularly impressive people. I mean, the app or intelligent. The average IQ in Somalia is something like 70. That. That does. You know, those. Them's the facts. Okay? It's just what it is. And it's a similar story in. In most of these failed third world states. You know, when you. When you look at those IQ charts I began with, it's not hard to wonder how the numbers would change if we did not import people like Ilhan Omar and Abdullah Hussein Hamoud. Maybe more elementary schools would start teaching math and science instead of Islamic customs. Maybe we'd reverse the trend of declining IQs in this country. That would actually be worthy of a parade in the streets of Michigan. It would certainly be something to celebrate after many, many months of discouraging and awful news that we've all had to endure. So with apologies to the President of Somalia, if he's even a real person, it's time for ICE to get to work. We have tolerated stagnation and decline for far too long. We need immigration crackdowns not only in places like Los Angeles and the Home Depot parking lot, but also in places like Dearborn and Rochester immediately. It's not enough to just throw James Comey in jail, as great as that would be. It's not enough to target illegals from Mexico, go after the Ilhan Omars, even the people who are legal citizens but don't belong here. They lied. They defrauded the system when they came in. Ilhan Omar, along with committing immigration fraud by marrying her brother, also did not reveal that her primary loyalty is to Somalia. That's fraud. She doesn't belong here. You need to go after people like that. Go after these schools as well. And then when American PhDs finally have an IQ above 100, shut the door behind them and don't repeat the same mistake ever again. Now let's get to our five headlines.

No one's above the law, attorney General Pam Bondi said in a statement. Today's indictment reflects this Department of Justice's commitment to holding those who abuse positions of power accountable for misleading the American public. We will follow the facts in this case. Comey's indictment stems from statements the former FBI had made to Congress in September 2020 when he testified regarding his handling of the investigation into Russian meddling in the 2016 presidential election. Comey is indictment comes just days ahead of a major deadline, which is that the statute of limitations was going to expire on September 30th. So they got it in just in time. And as you can imagine, the media and Democrats are having, you know, having a fit, full on panic attacks. They're going around screaming about weaponized government, political retribution, so on and so on, pretending that the Republicans are setting some sort of, some sort of disturbing precedent here. And we're not going to play any of those clips because you've probably seen them and you can imagine it's all the stuff that you would imagine and the response is obvious, like, I don't need to point it out, but I will, that Democrats already weaponize the government. They already engaged in political retribution. They of course did the exact thing that they're now accusing Trump of doing. The only difference is that they had to invent crimes that Trump committed. They had to come up with like novel theories which they even admitted at the time. The media even admitted, well, this is a novel thing. It's a novel. Now we're not making up a crime. It's just novel. It's unique. You know, it's quirky and eccentric. And that's what they did. They concocted novel theories to indict Trump. Well, there are no novel theories at work here at all. Very straightforward. Comey lied under oath. He lied to Congress. Very simple. Trump did not invent that crime. The Trump administration did not just like decide that they're going to find a way to pretend that it's a crime to lie under oath to Congress. That's already very much a crime, and people have been prosecuted for it plenty of times in the past. So he didn't come up with a new theory. He isn't trying out some unique new approach. Comey lied. He committed a crime. The only defense, like, if there's any defense, Comey would have to be able to prove that he didn't lie, but he's not gonna be able to defend himself by saying, oh, well, that's not a crime. Okay. With Trump, you could say, yeah, well, okay, he didn't do what you accuse him of. But also, like, this not what you're accusing of isn't even a crime in the first place. So here it's just, did you do it? Like, if you did it, it's definitely a crime. And also, we know that he did it, so it's. It's pretty straightforwardly obvious that he also did lie. And that's it. Now, there is one thing that is novel in this case. It's not the theory of the crime. Again, that's as straightforward as it could possibly get. The novel thing and the thing that has the left panicking is that a Democrat official is being held accountable for something. What's novel is not the crime, but the fact that a Democrat is indicted for committing it. That is novel. That. That is unique. Actually. Holding a Democrat official a, you know, accountable for a crime they clearly committed, that's a novel thing. No previous administration would have done this, certainly not in modern times. Trump, in his first term would not have done this. Trump famously ran for office in 2016, you know, chanting, lock her up. That was the. That was the. One of his greatest moments in the. In the debates in that presidential election was saying to Hillary Clinton, you'll be in jail. Right? It was a great, great moment. And then he gets into office and he. And she never was locked up. They didn't even try. So this is new, even for Trump in a good way. Um, there was always this implicit understanding that Trump himself went along with the first time around, that Democrats can do what they want, that if you're a Democrat, it's like, yeah, it's technically a crime, but come on. It's. It's. Come on. That was always the defense, and everyone went along with it. And. And now the Trump administration is finally saying, no, no, actually, the law applies to you too, and we're going to hold you to it. And so that's what's happening here. And that's the only thing novel about it. Okay, I want to actually go back to Dearborn for a moment because as we talked about Dearborn a little bit on the show recently, and I've been aware of the Islamicization of, of Dearborn, hadn't really looked into it that deeply. But the more you look into it, the more research you do about what's happening in Dearborn, it is insane. I mean, it is mind blowing. I think people don't realize, however bad you think it is, it's so much worse. And if you live there, you know this. But for people that don't live there, you might not understand just how bad it is that Dearborn has essentially become an Arab state. It's. It's a Middle Eastern Islamic capital right in the middle of the American heartland. And for some reason we've allowed that to happen. We don't have to allow it. We don't have to allow that. Actually, we are. We are. We are allowed to not allow that. But we did. And now the people of the city, along with. Here's the latest thing, along with all the other problems with living in a Middle Eastern Islamic capital. The latest. This is just from this week. The people of the city find themselves woken up at 5am by the Muslim call to prayer. Watch this. But the Moss and East Dearborn are now at times waking us up at 5:30 in the morning with a call to prayer. This is Dearborn resident Andrea Unger at last night's city council meeting stating that Moss using outdoor loudspeakers for their call to prayer should not be allowed and says she believes it's not supposed to be allowed per city ordinance.
