demic. Join me now. Go.

All right, well, let's talk about all of the things. So big story in the news is that there were some senators who sold some stocks ahead of announcing that things were as bad as they are. And the thinking, of course, is that they traded on insider information. But it seems like there are at least three different situations.

Senator Burr seems to have been more of a cleaner situation where he got some information, he sold some stocks, and I think he owes the public an explanation. Now, my experience with these things is they really have to hear the other side. You really have to hear the other side. But on the surface of it, it looks pretty bad. So here's an explanation. That's all I'm going to say. If he doesn't explain it, I think Tucker Carlson said, and I would agree with it, if he can't explain it, he probably needs to resign. But I'm going to hold my opinion until I hear the other side.

Now the other two seem a little sketchier. There's somebody in Congress, doesn't matter who, who has some money in a trust. But is it a blind trust? You know, there's some question there. Then the one that is the least credible is Senator Dianne Feinstein. Also some amount of stock was sold. But if you don't realize how rich Dianne Feinstein is, it looks like bad behavior. But as soon as you imagine that her wealth is this much and the amount she sold was like a dot in that universe, the odds of Dianne Feinstein doing insider trading I think are vanishingly small. The others have a little more to explain, but we'll wait. We'll see what happens.

I want to mention something about Ilhan Omar's complimentary comments about President Trump, which of course is the most unexpected thing in the world. And I'll remind you of this. Whatever you think of Ilhan Omar personally or her politics, and I'm sure that the audience for this is not big fans, but setting that aside for a moment, if we can just be adult and separate the technique from the opinions, her technique has always been good. Meaning that she's smart, she knows how to capture the public's attention.

And here's what I loved about Ilhan Omar's play. First of all, it was the right thing to do, being supportive of your president when he's getting the right action, which was maybe not day one. Even supporters said it was off to a shaky start. But once the president got on firm footing, and I think he clearly is at this point, it does make sense given the national mood and the worry that's in the air. It does make sense the Democrats would at least try to join ranks, at least for the point of the emergency. And she did that.

So if you could separate yourself from what are her hidden intentions, what's she really up to, we can't read her mind. We can just say what was the right thing for a leader in the Democratic Party to do right now? It was the right thing for the country. But there's another level to this in which Ilhan Omar solved one of her own biggest problems. And that's the clever part of this. Because if you can find something that's unambiguously good for the country, and I think praising the president once he was on firm footing was good for the country because it builds confidence, etc.

But there's another level which is just good for her, which is you can argue that Ilhan Omar's biggest weakness as a politician is that people wonder if she's on the side of America. This is not my opinion. I'm not even going to put my opinion in any of this. I'm just saying that that is the criticism that her critics make. You have some other loyalty. You're not an American. You want to destroy America, etc.

So by going so conspicuously against form, by complimenting the president who she's eviscerated on many occasions, she makes a really smart counterpoint, which is from this day forward if you say Ilhan Omar doesn't have the best interests of the United States in mind, you have to explain today. I did this week. Because to me it looked like clearly a counter political move. Sorry if you hear my cat. She's going crazy.

So she'll always have that thing to say. If I were purely a political creature, why was I complimenting the president unless I meant it? So it's a very smart play. It's good for the country. It's selfishly politically good, but that's sort of hidden and should be by the fact it's good for the country. So I would say if we could just separate what you think about her politically or personally from the technique, good technique. A
