Let's talk about the moment your side hustle becomes a real business. Now I see way too many founders stay stuck running their business like it's a hobby. And then they wonder why nothing ever feels real. It doesn't feel real because it's not. I've helped thousands of entrepreneurs build real businesses through Impact Theory University. And the first step in the path to building a legit business is registering it. And Tailor Brands will help you do just that in a few clicks. An LLC, a Limited Liability Company, is an official business structure. It's inexpensive to form and very simple to maintain. It's how you open a business bank account. It's how customers know they're dealing with a real company. And Tailor Brands doesn't stop at the filing. Their dashboard tracks what comes next based on what your business actually needs. So EIN number, registered agent, licenses and permits, bookkeeping, business banking. I tell every founder the same thing. Just make it official.

The DOJ rated Ilhan Omar's house and the whole situation is likely much worse than people realize. Rumors are flying that Trump is using Elon to wage a secret war against Zelensky and Ukraine. We've got some more details there. The Houthis have once again hammered Saudi Arabia and with the Aramco facilities basically burning to the ground, the question becomes, how much worse is the energy crisis going to get at this point? The AI debt problem is getting more extreme by the day with CoreWeave bonds doing something insane. The OpenAI spy situation is completely out of pocket. The FBI is involved. ChatGPT is involved. But just how compromised is OpenAI at this point? And Woke 1 is still alive and kicking because a single Shane Gillis joke has split the internet in half. All of that and more right now on The Tom Bilyeu Show Live. Welcome, everybody. All right. The world is continuing to be more and more strange as we approach the midterms. The DOJ rated Ilhan Omar's house and the whole situation is likely much worse than people are putting together at this point. On October 12th at six in the morning, Homeland Security agents rated Ilhan Omar's DC home armed with a federal search warrant as a part of an ongoing criminal investigation.
They snatched up a bunch of boxes of documents and then left in a cloud of secrecy. The DOJ would only say that it had secured the warrant and that the investigation was ongoing. Now rumors are just absolutely whipping around, but so far no charges have been filed and they honestly haven't even named a crime that they're accusing Ilhan Omar of at this point. Now listen, she could be as guilty as the day is long. That is possible, but the timing of this from where I'm sitting is just way too conveniently tied to the midterms. Now it's not necessarily about her runoff given that she's in one of the safest districts in the country, they're going to vote blue. That is just a foreshays at this point. But as a way, one way to read this would be that Trump is trying to flex to show his base that he's doing something. But my question becomes doing something about what exactly? That's the question. And this is where I would like to offer a warning to the Trump administration right now.
Right now I am assuming that this really is a case of the Trump administration weaponizing the Justice Department. And I am no fan of Ilhan Omar's policies or her view of America.
But if the way that the Trump administration is approaching this is simply, well, you guys did it to me and now I'm going to be doing it back to you, that is a recipe for disaster. This is exactly how we end up in a populist death loop where everybody is weaponizing the Justice Department against everybody else. And whenever somebody comes into power, they are going to pursue you.
