00:00:00.000The New York Times has a shocking report today about Ilhan Omar.
00:00:03.000It turns out that under Barack Obama, the FBI and Department of Homeland Security investigated her almost certain fraudulent marriage to her gay brother.
00:00:13.000That case stalled chiefly because prosecutors concluded the potential crime of felony fell outside a five year statute of limitations, according to the current and former officials, most of whose law enforcement careers span several presidential administrations.
00:00:27.000In August of 2016, according to the Times, a local news station reported the U.S. Attorney's Office in Minnesota had opened an investigation into Ilhan Omar.
00:00:35.000That prompted the campaign to form a crisis management committee, according to a lawyer who represented Omar in a 2018 deposition.
00:00:43.000A means to quash it came in October and in August of 2016 when the campaign released a letter it had requested from Andrew Luger, then U.S. Attorney in Minnesota.
00:00:52.000In the three sentence letter, Luger wrote My office is not investigating, nor have we requested an investigation into Ms. Omar.
00:00:58.000But in an interview last week, Luger said the letter was never meant to say anything about the substance of the claims.
00:01:04.000Instead, it was narrowly written to rebut the news station's report Luger had asked ICE to investigate Ms. Omar, which he called erroneous.
00:01:13.000After the letter became public, local news coverage waned.
00:01:16.000So basically, this U.S. attorney killed the news coverage of what very obviously seemed to have happened, which is that she fake married her gay brother to get him into the country, and then it failed.
00:01:29.000By the way, last week, Barack Obama called a raid on her immigration status appalling.
00:01:35.000Quote, it is a basic principle of American democracy that the government can't selectively target individuals simply because of their political beliefs or what they say.
00:01:42.000But that's exactly what the Trump administration is doing to Congresswoman Ilhan Omar of Minnesota.
00:01:50.000It was his administration who literally was looking into whether she married her brother, which apparently she did.
00:01:59.000And by the way, the New York Post is reporting that her actual Muslim husband was quite upset with her brother.
00:02:04.000Her brother came and lived with them, he wasn't upset that she was married to her brother.
00:02:10.000He was upset that her brother was gay and living with them.
00:02:12.000Quote, Ilhan Omar's first husband was embarrassed when her effeminate brother, who she is accused of marrying, came to live with them in Minnesota, a family friend told the Post.
00:02:20.000The Congresswoman had two young children with Ahmed Hersey when she suddenly split from him in 2009.
00:02:24.000She then quickly married an extremely feminine Somali guy from London, Ahmed Noor Saeed Elmi, fond of wearing short shorts with cowboy boots.
00:02:32.000One of Hersey's close friends claimed Omar and her first husband were actually still together, and Elmi suddenly moving in caused strain on their relationship.
00:02:39.000The whole community was gossiping about Elmi when he first arrived, said the source.
00:02:42.000He was walking around in tight female clothing, which is heavily frowned upon in the Somali community.
00:02:48.000He told me it was his wife's brother from London and that Ilhan had, quote, embarrassed all of us by bringing him here.
00:02:53.000Ahmed used very strong words and said it was disgusting.0.98
00:02:55.000So, you know, the immigration fraud, that was one thing, but the brother being flamboyantly gay in the Somali community, that was the thing.0.97
00:03:04.000By the way, Ilhan Omar, she has no leg to stand on here.0.91
00:03:08.000This is the same lady who has repeatedly called.
00:03:10.000For Donald Trump to be prosecuted, like over and over and over again.
00:03:15.000All on March 30th, 2023, when Mar a Lago was raided.
00:03:19.000Our democracy rests on the rule of law.
00:03:21.000When someone, no matter how powerful they are, is suspected of a criminal act, our justice system investigates, charges, and convicts them in accordance with due process.
00:03:29.000Vice President of the United States, JD Vance, was on Fox News with Jesse Waters, and he talked about the possibility of prosecuting Ilhan Omar.
00:03:39.000When the New York Times says that you maybe married your brother and you're a Democrat, maybe you married your brother.
00:03:53.000Because in the Trump administration, we don't prejudge.
00:03:55.000We let the facts and the law drive these decisions.
00:03:58.000But if you look at some of the people that we've gotten prosecutions of, I think you do see evidence that finally an American government is taking the corruption seriously.
00:04:08.000And a lot of the public servants who have betrayed the public trust, they're being investigated.
00:05:20.000But remember, all of your betters, all the 18 year olds with selfie sticks who are now 45 and on late night TV, they say you're racist if you care about any of this.
00:05:29.000That was Jimmy Kimmel's play yesterday with Regarding, say, the opposition to Abdul El Sayed, a clear Muslim Brotherhood fellow traveler.
00:05:38.000Remember when racism was supposed to be a secret?0.73
00:05:42.000Like they'd whisper this stuff in their foursome on the golf course to each other while they were looking around like this?
00:05:47.000Now it's your grandpa's Facebook page live on stage every day.
00:05:52.000They keep saying El Sayed is part of the Muslim Brotherhood.
00:05:56.000This guy was born in Rochester Hills, Michigan, and played high school lacrosse.
00:06:02.000He played lacrosse, football, and hockey, the three whitest sports there are.
00:06:06.000Oh my God, what is he hiding in those goalie pads?
00:06:11.000Oh, it's all just fake because, you know, he played hockey.0.69
00:06:15.000Sure, his dad and his mom and pretty much everybody associated with him is a Muslim Brotherhood fellow traveler.
00:06:20.000And sure, he agrees with basically all the principles of the Muslim Brotherhood, but it must be racism, obviously.0.98
00:06:32.000Barack Obama, meanwhile, is in Georgia.
00:06:34.000Saying that he's worried about high health care premiums.
00:06:36.000Well, if only he had been president and then rammed through a thing called actual Obamacare, which was designed to bring down those premiums, and he failed.
00:06:46.000We need to rein in the cost of child care so those same young families can afford it.
00:06:52.000We've got to make sure that nobody has to worry about high health care premiums.
00:07:55.000Just remember we have two proposals on the table.
00:07:58.000One is big government, and that results in, you know, never doing anything useful.
00:08:02.000California, the high speed rail chief, has now quit, according to the New York Times, amid criticism following a recent state report that found the agency had misused roughly 600 grand to pay for the travel of outside consultants.
00:08:16.000Crews have so far broken ground on one 119 mile section of the roughly 500 miles of planned rail.
00:08:23.000When the system was originally approved, it was projected to cost $33 billion and be completed by 2020.
00:08:28.000We checked a calendar, it is no longer 2020.
