BREAKING: Omar Probe Expands to Family, Subpoenas Sent as Questions begin to Swirl · The 47 Morning Update with Ben Ferguson

• 0:00
  Speaker 1: But still, no comment from the congresswoman at this time,
• 0:03
  Speaker 1: but we can confirm she is under federal criminal investigation.
• 0:06
  Speaker 1: I do want to add one more thing, if I can, guys.
• 0:09
  Speaker 1: A judge did have to sign off on this search warrant.
• 0:11
  Speaker 1: This is not something DOJ or Homeland Security could just
• 0:14
  Speaker 1: do ad hoc. This is something a federal judge would
• 0:17
  Speaker 1: have had to sign off on for them behind me
• 0:20
  Speaker 1: to be here today.
• 0:21
  Speaker 2: You're listening to the 47 Morning Update with Ben Ferguson.
• 0:25
  Speaker 3: Good Wednesday morning.
• 0:26
  Speaker 4: So nice to have you with us on the 47
• 0:28
  Speaker 4: Morning Update and the controversy surrounding Congresswoman Ilham Omar is
• 0:32
  Speaker 4: exploding with reports of subpoenas targeting members of her family
• 0:37
  Speaker 4: now and multiple investigations raising serious new questions. So what
• 0:42
  Speaker 4: exactly are investigators looking for and how far could this go?
• 0:46
  Speaker 4: And what could it mean for the Minnesota congresswoman? I
• 0:49
  Speaker 4: break it all down for you. The allegations, the investigations
• 0:53
  Speaker 4: and the growing political fallout. But before we get to that,
• 0:56
  Speaker 4: let me tell you about Patriot Mobile. It feels like
• 0:59
  Speaker 4: our country finally has momentum and our leaders are fighting
• 1:02
  Speaker 4: to restore common sense in America first.
• 1:06
  Speaker 3: But unfortunately, we've seen this before.
• 1:07
  Speaker 4: We get comfortable and the left starts taking back ground
• 1:10
  Speaker 4: inch by inch. That is something we cannot let happen
• 1:13
  Speaker 4: in these midterms. America needs every one of us in
• 1:16
  Speaker 4: the fight. And a big part of that means supporting
• 1:19
  Speaker 4: companies that actually stand up for our values and help
• 1:22
  Speaker 4: us fight back. And that's why I use Patriot Mobile. Now,
• 1:26
  Speaker 4: Patriot Mobile gives me premium priority nationwide service on any
• 1:30
  Speaker 4: of the three major U.S.
• 1:31
  Speaker 3: Networks.
• 1:32
  Speaker 4: That means you get the coverage you need, plus some
• 1:34
  Speaker 4: of the data plans, mobile hotspots, international roaming. And the
• 1:38
  Speaker 4: best part is they have a 100% U.S.-based customer support team. Now,
• 1:44
  Speaker 4: Patriot Mobile is so much more than a great wireless provider.
• 1:48
  Speaker 4: They have built a growing movement of Americans defending faith, family,
• 1:52
  Speaker 4: and freedom and the future of this country. And they
• 1:54
  Speaker 4: do it every time you pay your bill by donating
• 1:57
  Speaker 4: millions of dollars every year to organizations fighting for what
• 2:01
  Speaker 4: we believe in. So why not make the switch and
• 2:04

• 2:25
  Speaker 4: switch today. It's the 47 Morning Update, and it starts
• 2:29
  Speaker 4: right now.
• 2:29
  Speaker 2: Story number one.
• 2:31
  Speaker 3: Elam Omar. Let's deal with her for a moment.
• 2:34
  Speaker 4: There is some new breaking news about Ilham Omar, and
• 2:38
  Speaker 4: I want you to hear what was reported on Fox
• 2:42
  Speaker 4: about this.
• 2:43
  Speaker 3: Take a listen.
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: HSI agents giving this some sort of immigration relation as
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: far as this case is involved, though we are told
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: this is a criminal investigation. We don't know the specifics,
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: but a Justice Department spokesperson did tell us this on
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: the record, quote, Today in the Washington, D.C. area, Homeland
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: Security Investigations executed a judicially authorized search warrant secured by
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: the Department of Justice. This enforcement action is part of
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: an ongoing federal criminal investigation, end quote. No comment at
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: this point from Congresswoman Omar. We've reached out to her office.
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: No statements on social media. Again, this began a little
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: bit after six o'clock this morning here, John. We've seen
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: agents leave with boxes. Does not appear to be any
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: sort of intense raid. I mean, I know we use
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: the word raid, but no one knocking down doors, no
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: one running in with flashlights or any type of weapons.
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: It's been fairly quiet here on this block on Columbus Day.
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: A couple of neighbors mulling around. asking what's going on.
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: But clearly, we now know that Congresswoman Omar, and I
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: will note, it's unusual to see the Justice Department take
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: an overt action three weeks before an election.
• 3:53
  Speaker 3: Now, that's how all this started.
• 3:56
  Speaker 4: We are now getting word in some new reporting that
• 4:00
  Speaker 4: has come out about what may be behind all of this.
• 4:05
  Speaker 3: And one of them is this new.
• 4:08
  Speaker 4: Article that's come out from the New York Post. Representative
• 4:11
  Speaker 4: Alam Omar's staff got her birthday changed officially after being
• 4:16
  Speaker 4: elected to Congress.
• 4:18
  Speaker 3: Records now show.
• 4:21
  Speaker 4: Representative Alam Omar's staff helped get her birthday changed in
• 4:26
  Speaker 4: public records once the Minnesota Democrat was elected to Congress
• 4:29
  Speaker 4: in 2018. A switch has since spurred, well, major accusations
• 4:34
  Speaker 4: that she misrepresented her age to secure U.S.
• 4:37
  Speaker 3: Citizenship.
• 4:39
  Speaker 4: The alteration could offer a big clue as to what
• 4:42
  Speaker 4: federal immigration agents were searching for when they raided her D.C.
• 4:46
  Speaker 3: Home on Monday.
• 4:48
  Speaker 4: If the congresswoman is actually one year older than she
• 4:52
  Speaker 4: claimed to be, that would mean she couldn't have legally
• 4:55
  Speaker 4: become a U.S. citizen in 2020. Omar's birth date has
• 5:00
  Speaker 4: been listed in the Minnesota Legislative Reference Library as October
• 5:05
  Speaker 4: the 4th of 1981. as well as one reference site
• 5:11
  Speaker 4: such as Wikipedia and in media outlets like the BBC
• 5:14
  Speaker 4: for the entire time she served in the State House
• 5:17
  Speaker 4: and for several months into her congressional term.
• 5:21
  Speaker 3: But the Congresswoman's.
• 5:22
  Speaker 4: Staff moved to shift the date forward by one year
• 5:26
  Speaker 4: in May of 2019 after a video from a political
• 5:29
  Speaker 4: opponent went viral that claimed Omar was fibbing about her age,
• 5:34
  Speaker 4: according to emails reviewed now by the New York Post.
• 5:38
  Speaker 4: On May 17, 2019, library staff were informed by Representative
• 5:45
  Speaker 4: Omar's congressional staff that her birthday year was incorrect and
• 5:50
  Speaker 4: requested that it be changed to 1982. That is what
• 5:55
  Speaker 4: the director of the Minnesota Legislative Reference Library in an
• 5:58
  Speaker 4: email just days after the change was made. Quote, Representative
• 6:03
  Speaker 4: Amar's congressional staff are working with Wikipedia and with the
• 6:08
  Speaker 4: Biographical Directory of the United States Congress and other sources
• 6:12
  Speaker 4: to correct her birth year on those sites. As of today,
• 6:16
  Speaker 4: the birth year has not been corrected on the two
• 6:18
  Speaker 4: sites I mentioned the director added in the May 24,
• 6:22
  Speaker 4: 2019 email. Now, by the way, this seems like an
• 6:25
  Speaker 4: awful lot of work to get a year changed. I
• 6:28
  Speaker 4: just want to throw that out there. the legislative reference
• 6:34
  Speaker 4: library director who did not respond to requests for comment
• 6:37
  Speaker 4: said another email that the initial 1981 birth year had been, uh,
• 6:42
  Speaker 4: put down because it was widely available in Wikipedia and
• 6:46
  Speaker 4: the biographical directory. And so we add the birth date
• 6:50
  Speaker 4: without documentation reps for the congresswoman's office and Omar herself
• 6:55
  Speaker 4: have repeatedly denied allegations of immigration fraud. Uh, Quote, for
• 7:01
  Speaker 4: 10 years, Trump has targeted me with baseless lies and
• 7:04
  Speaker 4: smear campaigns. This is just the latest escalation in his
• 7:08
  Speaker 4: campaign of political intimidation, Omar said in a statement on X. Now,
• 7:13
  Speaker 4: the Minnesota individual has long claimed that she received what's
• 7:19
  Speaker 4: known as a derivative citizenship through her father. who she
• 7:25
  Speaker 4: said became a naturalized citizen in 2000, five years after
• 7:29
  Speaker 4: coming into the country from war-torn Somalia. Quote, I became
• 7:35
  Speaker 4: a citizen actually before I turned 18. That's what she
• 7:38
  Speaker 4: told The Intercept in a September 2018 interview. My father
• 7:42
  Speaker 4: became a citizen, so I got my citizenship through that process.
• 7:47
  Speaker 5: A.J.
• 7:47
  Speaker 3: Kern, who came in a distant fourth against.
• 7:51
  Speaker 4: Omar in the 2022 House Democratic primary for Minnesota's 5th District,
• 7:55
  Speaker 4: said in a phone call on Tuesday that she claims
• 7:59
  Speaker 4: her citizenship narrative is that she derived citizenship through her
• 8:03
  Speaker 4: father when she was a 17-year-old minor. Yeah, there's more
• 8:08
  Speaker 4: to the story. You understand where it's going now, right?
• 8:11
  Speaker 4: Now you understand why some people are asking questions. The
• 8:14
  Speaker 4: DOJ has fired off apparently grand jury subpoenas to relatives
• 8:21
  Speaker 4: of the Somali representative Valaam Omar, including her sister, as
• 8:25
  Speaker 4: the criminal investigation is ramping up. We've been told now
• 8:30
  Speaker 4: that federal agents are digging through her family's history for
• 8:33
  Speaker 4: evidence of fraud and false statements in immigration paperwork. The
• 8:37
  Speaker 4: probe reportedly focuses in part on whether Omar's late father
• 8:41
  Speaker 4: lied or left information out of his immigration forms before
• 8:45
  Speaker 4: becoming a U.S.
• 8:46
  Speaker 3: Citizen.
• 8:47
  Speaker 4: That matters because Omar says she got her citizenship through him. Now,
• 8:52
  Speaker 4: this comes one day after DHS agents searched her D.C.
• 8:55
  Speaker 4: home and hauled out boxes of documents. And now there's
• 8:59
  Speaker 4: a lot of people saying that the walls are finally
• 9:01
  Speaker 4: closing in on Omar.
• 9:04
  Speaker 3: Here's a little bit more of the reporting from Fox.
• 9:06
  Speaker 1: All this happened a little bit shortly after six o'clock
• 9:09
  Speaker 1: this morning here at Congresswoman Omar's home in Washington, D.C.
• 9:13
  Speaker 1: It's unclear if she's home at this time. It does
• 9:16
  Speaker 1: not appear so because we've been out here for several
• 9:18
  Speaker 1: hours now. after this happened. You can see on scene
• 9:21
  Speaker 1: behind me, there are several investigators from Homeland Security Investigations.
• 9:26
  Speaker 1: I'm going to back out of the way. Homeland Security Investigations,
• 9:29
  Speaker 1: they go by HSI. They are on scene. Also told
• 9:33
  Speaker 1: that DOJ involved in this investigation. We don't have details, guys,
• 9:37
  Speaker 1: specifically about what the investigation entails, but we can report
• 9:41
  Speaker 1: that it is a federal criminal investigation. I want to
• 9:45
  Speaker 1: read a statement from from a DOJ spokesperson. It says, quote,
• 9:49
  Speaker 1: today in the Washington, D.C. area, Homeland Security Investigations executed
• 9:53
  Speaker 1: a judicially authorized search warrant secured by the Department of Justice.
• 9:58
  Speaker 1: This enforcement action is part of an ongoing federal criminal investigation. Again,
• 10:03
  Speaker 1: we are out here at the congresswoman's home in Washington, D.C.
• 10:07
  Speaker 1: No public comments from her at this time. But agents
• 10:10
  Speaker 1: have been out here for several hours, fairly quiet on
• 10:13
  Speaker 1: the street today on this Columbus Day here in Washington, D.C.
• 10:17
  Speaker 1: A couple of agents outside going in and out of
• 10:20
  Speaker 1: the home, but not a real strong presence, but still
• 10:23
  Speaker 1: no comment from the congresswoman at this time. But we
• 10:26
  Speaker 1: can confirm she is under federal criminal investigation. I do
• 10:29
  Speaker 1: want to add one more thing, if I can, guys.
• 10:31
  Speaker 1: A judge did have to sign off on this search warrant.
• 10:33
  Speaker 1: This is not something DOJ or Homeland Security could just
• 10:37
  Speaker 1: do ad hoc. This is something a federal judge would
• 10:40
  Speaker 1: have had to sign off on for them behind me
• 10:42
  Speaker 1: to be here today.
• 10:44
  Speaker 4: That is the part that's very interesting is the part
• 10:46
  Speaker 4: where he says that this had to be signed off on.
• 10:50
  Speaker 4: And you connect that with Omar's staff that got her
• 10:52
  Speaker 4: birthday changed officially after being elected to Congress.
• 10:55
  Speaker 3: You say, why? You do that and then you say.
• 11:00
  Speaker 4: All right, well, why would it matter that much to
• 11:03
  Speaker 4: change it from 81 to 82 after you're elected to Congress,
• 11:06
  Speaker 4: drawing into questions the validity of her acquiring citizenship? Because
• 11:11
  Speaker 4: that one year makes a huge difference between being a
• 11:14
  Speaker 4: minor at 17 and being an adult at 18.
• 11:18
  Speaker 3: That actually matters. 1-877-381-3811.
• 11:21
  Speaker 4: 1-877-381-3811. Let me go to Christina. Line three, you're on
• 11:29
  Speaker 4: the Mark Levin Show. Ben Ferguson with you.
• 11:30
  Speaker 5: Hi.
• 11:31
  Speaker 6: Hi, how are you?
• 11:32
  Speaker 3: Doing well. How are you?
• 11:34
  Speaker 6: I'm doing okay. On the topic of Ilhan Omar, I
• 11:38
  Speaker 6: think what you're saying is very correct. It's all over
• 11:41
  Speaker 6: social media, as you might know, that she kind of
• 11:45
  Speaker 6: hates America by saying jihad is here. She's recorded screaming
• 11:52
  Speaker 6: jihad is here to a group of people. So that
• 11:58
  Speaker 6: should be highlighted.
• 11:59
  Speaker 4: What I know about her is when you start saying
• 12:03
  Speaker 4: that you want to raise your kids not in America,
• 12:07
  Speaker 4: but in your country that you clearly are pledging allegiance to,
• 12:10
  Speaker 4: which again is not America, then my question is why
• 12:12
  Speaker 4: the hell are you in this country? And why the
• 12:17
  Speaker 4: hell are you a U.S.
• 12:19
  Speaker 3: Congresswoman?
• 12:20
  Speaker 4: If you hate this country, you know, a llama Mars
• 12:24
  Speaker 4: speaks out and about the range. She says, I will
• 12:26
  Speaker 4: not be silenced by the way, but no one's asking
• 12:28
  Speaker 4: that you be silenced. What we are saying is, did
• 12:32
  Speaker 4: you lie about like your citizenship? And when you were,
• 12:35
  Speaker 4: when you came to this country and how old you
• 12:37
  Speaker 4: were now, quote for derivative citizenship, two things have to
• 12:43
  Speaker 4: be true. One, her father has, has to be naturalized.
• 12:47
  Speaker 4: And two, she still had to be a minor. And
• 12:51
  Speaker 4: what I have found, and this is again her old
• 12:54
  Speaker 4: opponent that ran against her, this is him talking, he said,
• 12:56
  Speaker 4: I have found is it's highly likely that neither of
• 12:59
  Speaker 4: those things are true. Now, Kern, who later filed an
• 13:03
  Speaker 4: SEC complaint to demand proof of citizenship, the complaint, by
• 13:08
  Speaker 4: the way, went nowhere because a judge found it was, quote,
• 13:10
  Speaker 4: the job of Congress to vet their members, Kern said. Now,
• 13:14
  Speaker 4: if she lied about her birth date on any official form,
• 13:17
  Speaker 4: a passport renewal or bank loan application, for example, then
• 13:21
  Speaker 4: Omar could be prosecuted. And given naturalization fraud has a
• 13:25
  Speaker 4: 10-year statute of limitations. Now, people familiar with the multi-year
• 13:29
  Speaker 4: federal criminal investigation to Omar have suggested that she's being
• 13:33
  Speaker 4: looked at for making false statements on immigration forms. Asked
• 13:38
  Speaker 4: what Homeland Security investigation agents may have been looking for,
• 13:41
  Speaker 4: that's when her old opponent suggested her citizenship papers, her
• 13:45
  Speaker 4: father's naturalization records. Now, President Trump also boosted Kern's claims
• 13:50
  Speaker 4: back in December of 2025, I should say, in a
• 13:55
  Speaker 4: true social post. And administration officials have consistently mentioned Omar
• 14:00
  Speaker 4: being probed for possible immigration fraud. Now, she, of course,
• 14:05
  Speaker 4: is playing the victim card right now and saying, you know,
• 14:08
  Speaker 4: come after me, come after me. You know, this is just,
• 14:11
  Speaker 4: this is what happens. By the way, this is the
• 14:13
  Speaker 4: same woman that also had $ 29 million vanished from her
• 14:17
  Speaker 4: net worth. in months as she was asked about it
• 14:21
  Speaker 4: and laughed when reporters asked her about it. And now, again,
• 14:25
  Speaker 4: she's under investigation, so we may get answers for that
• 14:28
  Speaker 4: as well soon. Here is Omar in the halls of
• 14:31
  Speaker 4: Congress being asked about being worth $ 29 million, and then
• 14:34
  Speaker 4: all of a sudden it all just disappears.
• 14:37
  Speaker 7: Since your net worth dropped on the new forms, the
• 14:40
  Speaker 7: new financial disclosure forms, could you tell us if your
• 14:44
  Speaker 7: husband still has the consulting business?
• 14:45
  Speaker 1: No.
• 14:47
  Speaker 7: And the wine business? I remember you were saying it
• 14:53
  Speaker 7: was an accounting error before, but the new forms are
• 14:56
  Speaker 7: even lower in terms of the net worth. Does he
• 15:00
  Speaker 7: still have those companies, the business? Consulting business and the
• 15:06
  Speaker 7: wine business? Anything you can say on that, Congresswoman?
• 15:16
  Speaker 4: Now, This is a woman who had $ 29 million vanish
• 15:19
  Speaker 4: from her net worth.
• 15:21
  Speaker 3: And why did it vanish?
• 15:22
  Speaker 4: Because apparently she was in a wine business that never
• 15:24
  Speaker 4: really did wine, and then it all went away, so
• 15:26
  Speaker 4: she just made it come off of her campaign disclosures,
• 15:30
  Speaker 4: which you've got to sit there.
• 15:31
  Speaker 3: And just scratch your head on that one.
• 15:33
  Speaker 4: This also comes as there's the other controversy about her marriage.
• 15:40
  Speaker 4: You look at just the marriage part. Just the marriage part.
• 15:46
  Speaker 4: And the question that everyone should be asking is this now.
• 15:49
  Speaker 4: Did Olam Omar marry her own brother in an effort
• 15:51
  Speaker 4: to circumvent American immigration laws? Now, before we go any
• 15:56
  Speaker 4: further on that, I want to be clear. This is
• 15:58
  Speaker 4: an allegation that has been asked about countless times. Of course,
• 16:05
  Speaker 4: Omar always denied it. And now there's another question about
• 16:10
  Speaker 4: the documented history involving multiple marriages, then divorces, overlapping relationships,
• 16:15
  Speaker 4: and then the possibility of improperly filed tax returns. All
• 16:21
  Speaker 4: of that, by the way, apparently is now being examined
• 16:23
  Speaker 4: as well. It is complicated, by the way, because it
• 16:26
  Speaker 4: begins more than 20 years ago. Let me take you
• 16:30
  Speaker 4: back in time. The first marriage, you got to go
• 16:33
  Speaker 4: back to 2002. Elam Omar was 19 years old when
• 16:36
  Speaker 4: she entered into what she described as a religious marriage
• 16:39
  Speaker 4: with a man by the last name of Hirsi. According
• 16:44
  Speaker 4: to Omar, the two married under their Islamic faith tradition,
• 16:48
  Speaker 4: but they never completed a legally recognized civil marriage.
• 16:52
  Speaker 3: They went on to have two children together.
• 16:54
  Speaker 4: Then in 2008, Omar says the relationship ended through a, quote,
• 16:58
  Speaker 4: religious divorce. So far, this is a story about a
• 17:01
  Speaker 4: couple whose marriage and separation were recognized within their religious traditions,
• 17:05
  Speaker 4: but not through the state's civil marriage system, she claims.
• 17:09
  Speaker 4: All right, that's an important distinction. Now, this is what
• 17:13
  Speaker 4: happens next and where the controversy really, like, explodes. The
• 17:18
  Speaker 4: second husband and the brother allegations come into play in
• 17:22
  Speaker 4: February of 2009. Omar legally married a British citizen by
• 17:26
  Speaker 4: the last name of Elmi. This marriage is documented in
• 17:30
  Speaker 4: Minnesota's public records.
• 17:32
  Speaker 3: Omar says their relationship.
• 17:34
  Speaker 4: Ended in 2011, but this is where the detail matters
• 17:37
  Speaker 4: because she says they separated through their religious traditions in 11,
• 17:41
  Speaker 4: but they did not, quote, legally divorce until December of 2017.
• 17:45
  Speaker 4: That's approximately six years after their reported separation.
• 17:51
  Speaker 3: And during that period, Omar reconciled.
• 17:53
  Speaker 4: With her first partner, right, the guy she was religiously
• 17:56
  Speaker 4: married to, Hirsi. Then in 2012, Omar and Hirsi, or Hirsi,
• 18:03
  Speaker 4: however the hell you say the first dude's name, had
• 18:05
  Speaker 4: their third child. Meanwhile, Omar remained legally married to Elmi.
• 18:12
  Speaker 4: Then people started asking questions about the relationship between Omar
• 18:16
  Speaker 4: and Elmi. And in 2016, there were allegations began circulating
• 18:21
  Speaker 4: that Elmi was actually Omar's brother. So, that would mean
• 18:27
  Speaker 4: that she... The allegation is she married him to help
• 18:30
  Speaker 4: him obtain immigration benefits. Now, that obviously is a massive accusation,
• 18:36
  Speaker 4: a serious one. But if someone knowingly enters into a
• 18:39
  Speaker 4: fraudulent marriage to evade immigration laws, there can yet again
• 18:45
  Speaker 4: be criminal consequences. The fact that Omar married Elmi is documented.
• 18:52
  Speaker 4: The claim that Elmi is her brother, by the way,
• 18:55
  Speaker 4: is what has not been, quote, legally established yet, which
• 18:58
  Speaker 4: is why people are now looking into it. You put
• 19:02
  Speaker 4: all of this together and it's a lot, folks. You
• 19:06
  Speaker 4: got $ 29 million that vanishes from her net worth. You've
• 19:09
  Speaker 4: got the accusation that she apparently married her brother and
• 19:13
  Speaker 4: then remarries the guy she first had kids with after
• 19:16
  Speaker 4: she says they were gone, but then they were somehow
• 19:18
  Speaker 4: not together but together because we have religious marriages instead
• 19:21
  Speaker 4: of state marriages, but the state marriage was the one
• 19:23
  Speaker 4: that was on the books for the time to help
• 19:25
  Speaker 4: get benefits from an immigration standpoint. And then you add
• 19:30
  Speaker 4: this in with a huge revelation coming from the New
• 19:33
  Speaker 4: York Post saying, That Alam Omar's congressional staff got her
• 19:37
  Speaker 4: birth year changed from 1981 to 1982 after she was
• 19:40
  Speaker 4: elected to Congress because that would have been the year
• 19:44
  Speaker 4: she needed to acquire.
• 19:45
  Speaker 3: Citizenship as a minor under her father.
• 19:48
  Speaker 4: That is a lot, folks. I mean, that is a
• 19:52
  Speaker 4: lot to unwind. By the way, no one should be
• 19:55
  Speaker 4: surprised by this.
• 19:57
  Speaker 3: Like, no one.
• 19:58
  Speaker 4: And let me just say something else. To every single
• 20:01
  Speaker 4: Democrat that's now complaining about this investigation to Alam Omar...
• 20:06
  Speaker 4: Let me remind you what Alam Omar said herself about investigations.
• 20:12
  Speaker 3: No, I mean, I.
• 20:14
  Speaker 1: Listen, suggest all you want.
• 20:17
  Speaker 7: Please investigate all you want, right? Like, to me, I'm not.
• 20:20
  Speaker 1: I'm not, like, I'm above the law.
• 20:23
  Speaker 4: Isn't that exactly, by the way, what the Department of
• 20:25
  Speaker 4: Justice and the Department of Homeland Security are doing right now?
• 20:29
  Speaker 4: She said, please investigate all you want. She said she's
• 20:33
  Speaker 4: not breaking the law. She said that on The Breakfast Club,
• 20:35
  Speaker 4: by the way. And she's like, okay, then if that's
• 20:39
  Speaker 4: what we're doing here, then that's what we're doing here.
• 20:48
  Speaker 1: 1-877-381-3811.
• 20:48
  Speaker 4: 1-877-381-3811. Let's get to your phone calls. Anthony, line two, welcome.
• 20:53
  Speaker 4: You are on the Mark Levin Show. Ben Ferguson filling in.
• 20:55
  Speaker 3: Hello.
• 20:57
  Speaker 5: Yes, hi. You kind of almost hit on it with
• 21:00
  Speaker 5: that last little segment there. But the point that I
• 21:04
  Speaker 5: want to bring up is, Why do we believe anything
• 21:09
  Speaker 5: that a Muslim candidate says when we know that part
• 21:14
  Speaker 5: of their, an integral part of their religion, is that
• 21:17
  Speaker 5: lying is accepted? And the second point is, when we
• 21:23
  Speaker 5: do our campaign advertisements, why aren't we bringing this up
• 21:28
  Speaker 5: to the general population so they know these people are
• 21:32
  Speaker 5: just lying because of their religion? That's all I want
• 21:35
  Speaker 5: to say.
• 21:36
  Speaker 3: You know, it's interesting.
• 21:37
  Speaker 4: You also got to ask yourself a question, Anthony, and
• 21:41
  Speaker 4: it deals with Elam Omar, who who is she really representing?
• 21:46
  Speaker 4: And I want to play this for you, because this
• 21:48
  Speaker 4: is Omar saying that she dreams of living in Somalia again,
• 21:52
  Speaker 4: not America, in Somalia again.
• 21:55
  Speaker 5: Not in Jeddah, Kenya and what this is not.
• 21:59
  Speaker 4: Oh wait, you can't understand what she's saying, can you?
• 22:03
  Speaker 4: Because she's speaking in a foreign language. So I'm going
• 22:06
  Speaker 4: to give you what she said in her own words.
• 22:09
  Speaker 4: We must fix our roads, she says. We must, I'm
• 22:14
  Speaker 4: an American migrant, she then goes on to say after that.
• 22:17
  Speaker 3: And she says, in the U.S. Congress. But I am
• 22:21
  Speaker 3: a Somali girl.
• 22:24
  Speaker 4: A girl with your lineage, she says to the crowd.
• 22:27
  Speaker 3: A girl with your religion.
• 22:29
  Speaker 4: That was a young child taken from her country, referring
• 22:33
  Speaker 4: to Somalia, that misses her country and wishes to live
• 22:36
  Speaker 4: there and share with its people. I am hopeful in
• 22:44
  Speaker 4: the future, she goes on to say, that me and
• 22:46
  Speaker 4: my children will be able to raise our kids That's
• 22:50
  Speaker 4: her words. In this land where I was born and raised,
• 22:54
  Speaker 4: referring to Somalia, to make that possible. There is a
• 22:58
  Speaker 4: lot that we need to work on together to make
• 23:01
  Speaker 4: our land a more stable and prosperous place.
• 23:03
  Speaker 3: She's not talking about America. She's talking about Somalia.
• 23:05
  Speaker 4: That is felt by all. So she says we must
• 23:08
  Speaker 4: fix our roads. That is what she said in her
• 23:11
  Speaker 4: own words.
• 23:12
  Speaker 3: I would say this.
• 23:13
  Speaker 4: Let's fulfill those dreams. Like, let's fulfill those dreams. By
• 23:18
  Speaker 4: the way, President Trump, he had something to say about this.
• 23:20
  Speaker 4: He kept it real short and sweet. The president, in
• 23:23
  Speaker 4: his own words, before he got a Marine One.
• 23:26
  Speaker 5: Very carefully. I've always found her to be totally crooked personally, but.
• 23:31
  Speaker 1: That has nothing to do with me.
• 23:33
  Speaker 7: I think she's a terrible person, just a complainer.
• 23:36
  Speaker 4: She comes from a.
• 23:37
  Speaker 7: Country that is.
• 23:39
  Speaker 5: A non-country.
• 23:39
  Speaker 4: And then she comes.
• 23:41
  Speaker 5: Over here and she complains about our Constitution.
• 23:45
  Speaker 3: I think she's a terrible person, but that's really up
• 23:47
  Speaker 3: to the DOJ. I have nothing to do with it.
• 23:49
  Speaker 3: That's really up to the DOJ. I have nothing to
• 23:52
  Speaker 3: do with it. And this is exactly, by the way,
• 23:55
  Speaker 3: what I voted for.
• 23:56
