Ilhan Omar (the "Magic Loogie") and the mysterious vanishing of an Omar-affiliated winery business allegedly worth millions. The show scrutinizes political tactics of the left, corruption in government spending (especially in Minnesota and Virginia), ICE operations, and political media manipulation, bolstered by lively contributions from former prosecutor Doug Burns and various audio segments from journalists like James O'Keefe.
