00:00:06.000It started with the Somali blog that I don't know if it still exists, but somebody put in there that he had to have been my brother or something to that effect.
00:00:18.000And right wing conspiracy theorists in Minneapolis got a hold of it and they just kind of went and found random people who were like, she introduced us.
00:00:31.000She introduced him to us and said he was her brother.
00:01:36.000Because, again, there are people in the United States who have taken advantage of the system.
00:01:41.000They've taken advantage of the system by engaging in fraud.
00:01:43.000They've taken advantage of the system by importing foreign ideologies into the United States and then militarizing American self hatred against the United States.
00:01:51.000And Ilhan Omar is at the top of this list.
00:01:53.000It all ties together lying to gain entry, lying to maintain status, lying to gain entry to Congress, lying in order to destroy the United States.
00:02:03.000That is what Representative Ilhan Omar has always been about.
00:02:06.000Remember, this is a woman who literally wrote a letter to a judge trying to get a lesser prison sentence for a man trying to join ISIS.
00:02:13.000Let's talk about what she's talking about in this clip and do a little bit of family history on Representative Ilhan Omar, because we've been told by Barack Obama and Zarn Mamdani, among others, that she's being unfairly targeted over her immigration status.
00:02:24.000But there are a lot of very open questions about that.
00:02:27.000And again, that clip is the worst answer to a question about some form of familial scandal, since it depends on the definition of is.
00:03:20.000According to her Minnesota House of Representatives website, it was 1981.
00:03:25.000We'll talk in a minute about why she changed her birth date, apparently.
00:03:29.000Elaine Omar's dad was a high ranking military colonel under the Marxist military dictatorship of Saeed Barre, which again runs counter to his refugee status under U.S. law.
00:03:38.000Because if you fled and you're a member of a dictatorship that engaged in human rights violations, typically we don't give you refugee status, which may explain why her last name was Omar when she came to the United States.
00:03:52.000So, in 1991, when she was either 10 or 9, depending on which date we are using for her birth, she and her family relocated to Kenya during the Somali Civil War.
00:04:03.000In 1995, she and her family received refugee status and immigrated to the United States, first to Arlington, Virginia, and then to Minneapolis, Minnesota.
00:04:10.000Now, it is possible that Omar did not enter under her true lineage.
00:04:14.000Her father's surname is Elmi, not Omar, Elmi.
00:04:19.000So, why exactly would she be using a name like Omar, like an unrelated family name?
00:04:24.000Members of her family, some of them went to the UK and they used the name Elmi.
00:04:28.000The rest of the family that went to the United States used the name Omar in order to use that family's refugee status to gain their own refugee status.
00:04:35.000That's the allegation made by Scott Johnson at Powerline, who's uncovered a ton of this.
00:04:53.000We will go through all of the facts because the facts are the things that you should care about.
00:04:58.000Now, When it comes to the American dream, the facts matter as well.
00:05:02.000Everybody has an opinion about the American dream, whether it's alive, whether it's dying, whether the government is helping people achieve it or making it harder.
00:05:07.000Before we argue about the answers, we should probably understand the numbers.
00:07:09.000So, Elmi filed a marriage based petition to gain permanent U.S. residency.
00:07:14.000When federal immigration authorities asked for evidence that he should actually gain citizenship via his marriage, Elmi withdrew his petition.
00:07:25.000So, they were trying to sneak one in, right?
00:07:27.000They were trying to get away with one.
00:07:28.000Okay, in 2012, while she was still in a civil marriage with Ahmed Nur Saeed Elmi, who is very likely her brother, she reconciled with Ahmed Hersi and they had a third child.
00:07:42.000She was legally divorced civilly from Ahmed Sur Saeed Elmi, who is likely her brother, in 2017.
00:07:49.000She submitted an affidavit stating she had not had contact with Elmi since 2011, but there are 2014 2015 social media interactions and contacts in London which would render her affidavit to be perjury.
00:08:02.000So, as Benjamin Weingarten, who is a senior contributor at the Federalist, points out, The documents that were filed to unseal ex parte materials and proceedings related to the federal search warrant show that she is listed as Ilhan Noor Saeed Elmi, aka Ilhan Abdullahi Omar.
00:08:25.000Again, remember, the alleged brother's name is Ahmed Noor Saeed Elmi.
00:08:35.000According to Weingarten, in September 2019, Omar deleted a 2013 post wishing Noor Saeed a happy Father's Day.
00:08:43.000In Somali naming convention, children are given a first name followed by their father's first and middle names.
00:08:47.000If Omar's father is Noor Saeed Elmi Muhammad, it would follow that his children's names would end in Noor Saeed Elmi.
00:08:55.000Deleted pictures on social media put Ilhan Omar alongside what appears to be Leila Elmi and Ilhan's father in 2011 in Kenya.
00:09:03.000Ilhan Omar reappeared next to Leila in 2015 in London in a photograph with text superimposed over it reading, I heart my sisters, with hashtags sisterhood and London trip in the caption.
00:09:15.000A fall 2016 profile from the local Twin Cities Pages publication referred to Representative Omar's father as Nur Saeed Elmi Muhammad before later changing it.
00:09:25.000And meanwhile, her alleged husband, right?
00:10:08.000So, what else do we know about Ahmed Elmi?
00:10:09.000Well, we know that according to the University of Bristol, in 2025, he served on the programming and curatorial team for Gala Queer Archives Margins for Error exhibition on queer African art, film, and publishing.
00:10:22.000He is currently completing his doctoral thesis, provisionally titled Bravery Amidst Brutality A Queer Resistance to Violence and Criminalization in Contemporary Kenya.
00:10:31.000In December, the New York Post reported he had resurfaced in South Africa while calling himself a dirty dandy on social media.
00:10:50.000That's not the straightest stuff we've ever seen, right there.
00:10:54.000So, in 2018, she was legally remarried to Ahmed Hersey in Minnesota, and then she was elected to Congress.
00:11:04.000And shortly after taking office, she then corrected her birth year to 1982 to backfill the fact that allegedly she's been lying on all of her passports and immigration forms since she tried to gain citizenship illegally via her father.
00:11:15.000In 2019, she was legally divorced from Ahmed Hersey.
00:11:18.000In 2020, she was married to Tim Minette, a political consultant paid by Omar's campaign for his services, and Minette divorced his prior wife to marry Ilhan Omar.
00:11:28.000So, if you're wondering why she said not to my knowledge, the answer is because to her knowledge, she was almost certainly married to her brother.
00:11:35.000So that would not amount to a deportation event, right?
00:11:39.000I mean, if she committed, essentially, there are a bunch of different charges that are getting conflated here.
00:11:45.000One is, did she come over with her family legally in the first place?
00:11:48.000Two is, did she gain her citizenship legally because she was allegedly a person of age of majority at the time that she was claiming minor status to gain citizenship via dad?
00:11:58.000Question three is, did she marry her brother in order to try to gain citizenship status for her brother?
00:12:04.000And then question four would be, What sort of fraud was she engaging in when she was allegedly engaged in bigamous relationships, right?
00:12:10.000Because she was legally married to this one guy, but then she was religiously married to this other guy without divorcing the first guy legally.
00:12:18.000All of this is rather dicey, you might think.
00:12:21.000You also might think that this is part and parcel of a person who hates the United States, is perfectly willing to abuse literally all of its systems for personal benefit and for familial benefit, and then turn around and undermine the United States, which is what Ilhan Omar is.
00:12:56.000I'll be out there campaigning alongside all of you and making sure that we beat back all of this and that we win in the midterms, win the House, win the Senate, and hold this administration accountable.
00:14:00.000Um, I rent my D.C. place and my Minneapolis place.
00:14:05.000And so, I don't, I mean, I don't know if that sounds like, you know, not majority of Congress, but there's some of us that are, that don't come from wealth and don't have wealth.
00:14:36.000There's a reason why people are deeply upset about Somali immigration in Minnesota, given the fact that the vast majority of families in Minnesota of Somali origin are actually on some form of welfare.
00:14:47.000And yet, here is Jacob Fry trying again.
00:14:49.000The way that you work this politically is to import a large chunk of people from a place that is foreign to the United States with a foreign ideology, turn them into a voting block, and then you'll have left wing politicians eating out of your hand in order to try and cobble together a coalition using your voting block.
00:15:06.000That's what Jacob Fry is doing in Minnesota as he explains that actually at Somali networking night, he says that the Somalis are the CEOs of right now.
00:15:20.000And I think one of the reasons that they were coming after you is they saw the kind of economy and entrepreneurship that you're helping to build.
00:15:32.000They saw suddenly that the CEOs of the future are not all going to look like me.
00:15:41.000The CEOs of the future are going to be from a thousand different backgrounds.
00:15:46.000And so suddenly, you all are creeping up in brilliant fashion.
00:15:51.000You're not just the CEOs and entrepreneurs of tomorrow, but of right now.
00:16:01.000I'm just going to read you a few statistics about the Somali community in Minnesota.
00:16:05.000According to the Center for Immigration Studies, approximately 81% of all Somali headed households in Minnesota receive at least one form of means tested welfare or public assistance.
00:16:14.000Households with kids, that rises to 89%.
00:16:25.000Long term residents, meaning 10 plus years in the U.S., 78% are still utilizing some form of assistance.
00:16:31.000By comparison, 21% of native headed households in Minnesota are using some form of welfare.
00:16:38.000So, no, that's actually not why people are particularly upset about all of this.
00:16:44.000There's a reason that Ilhan Omar is a representative of the district for which she is the representative.
00:16:49.000But again, we are now going to take this national.
00:16:52.000Well, it turns out that a lot of countries aren't sending their best here to the United States, but you need the best at your company, which is why we use ZipRecruiter.
00:16:59.000We've been using it here at the Daily Wire for years.
00:17:02.000Our awesome producers, who, you know, they're constantly citing when it comes to awkward subjects, those producers, Many of them came here through Zip Recruiter.
00:17:10.000Our editors and pretty much everybody here, we use Zip Recruiter all the time because again, they help us get all of our hiring done.
00:17:57.000Speaking of people who lie routinely, who are associated with foreign ideologies, speaking of people who should be nowhere near a congressional seat, let alone a seat in the Senate.
00:18:06.000Abdurrahman El Sayed is running a neck and neck race in Michigan.
00:18:10.000He had a debate last night with Mike Rogers.
00:18:12.000It did not go well for El Sayed because he is far too radical for the population.
00:18:17.000He also happens to be deeply in bed with radical Islam as an ideology.
00:18:25.000By the way, he's radical on all issues because, again, the basic premise for people like Elhan Omar and Abdul El Sayed is that the United States is wrong and evil and basically needs to be dismantled wholesale.
00:18:34.000Here's Abdul Rahman El Sayed saying we need to dismantle ICE, for example.
00:19:41.000Rogers also pointed out that El Sayed can't even condemn Iran, which, of course, is exactly right.
00:19:45.000I mean, he literally said he was caught on tape, El Sayed, saying that he would not condemn Ayatollah Khomeini because there are too many fans of Ayatollah Khomeini in his hometown of Dearborn, Michigan.
00:19:59.000My opponent can't even condemn the IRGC, which is the terrorist enforcement arm of Iran, and doesn't believe Iran is any more dangerous than Israel.
00:20:09.000This is an absolute non starter if you're going to send somebody back to the United States Senate.
00:21:03.000As an excuse to cram down on Americans a deeply anti American vision of society.
00:21:08.000Okay, let's be very clear about Abdul Al Sayed and the Muslim Brotherhood.
00:21:12.000The evidence of his familial ties to the Muslim Brotherhood are extensive.
00:21:15.000His sister says his family has always been Muslim Brotherhood.
00:21:18.000His father in law was a founding member of Izna, the Islamic Society of North America, which is a Muslim Brotherhood offshoot.
00:21:24.000And he accepted hundreds of thousands of dollars in campaign donations via his father in law.
00:21:31.000His parents are both connected, his biological parents are both connected with Muslim Brotherhood sources.
00:21:40.000He himself signed a letter in 2012 calling for support of the Muslim Brotherhood regime in Egypt and asking for them to crack down on dissent from the old regime.
00:21:51.000He said about terrorists who tried to murder Jewish school children so long as they're Islamic.
00:21:57.000And then said the reason that perhaps a terrorist tried to murder a bunch of kindergartners near Detroit was because that terrorist's Hezbollah family members had been killed in Lebanon by the IDF.
00:22:10.000He has yet to recommend a single measure for cracking down on the Muslim Brotherhood.
00:22:15.000He's yet to explain what about the Muslim Brotherhood he does not support.
00:22:19.000Only in the last week or so has he even said that he disassociates from the Muslim Brotherhood.
00:22:24.000So, El Sayed trying to play, how dare you challenge me, sir?
00:23:27.000I'm proud of our Constitution that guarantees all of us the right to pray as we choose to pray.
00:23:32.000And the question that you would ask that I think is actually really quite shameful as somebody who's actually served under that Constitution.
00:24:15.000In fact, the only person who seems to care about how Abdul El Sayed prays is Abdul El Sayed, who put together an entire ad bragging about his religious adherence without showing that he's a Muslim anywhere in the ad.
00:24:26.000He's a little shy about that, apparently, when it comes to the TV ads.
00:24:29.000It shows him like hanging out in churches, doesn't show him hanging out.
00:24:33.000By the way, at the same time that he's going out there and pretending that he has no strong feelings about anything going on in the Middle East and it's really just about what's going on in Michigan, he was on Al Jazeera and he was talking about how the Syrian regime, which is a terrorist backed regime, I mean, HTS, was an offshoot of ISIS.
00:24:53.000And here he is talking about how he's in total solidarity with the Syrian regime, which, by the way, is attempting to murder Druze, like as we speak.
00:25:03.000We need to make sure that there are no sanctions, that the people of Syria can build out their future as any and all people who serve, that they can do that together in peace, and that they can join the community of nations.
00:25:17.000You became a senator in the U.S. Senate.
00:25:20.000Inshallah, we'll support the Syrian on the progress.
00:25:25.000Of course, I want to make sure that any of the barriers to progress because of the last regime are taken out so that this leadership has the opportunity to build.
00:25:35.000Build out democratic institutions, build out with the interference of, without the interference of people like Israel.
00:26:12.000The question is whether or not we want a politics where our money is sent over to Israel to do genocide and apartheid instead of investing in our own kids.
00:26:20.000You say it exists, but does it have a right to?
00:26:25.000I just said the question of Israel's existence is not a question.
00:26:27.000I'm not going to play this gotcha game about whether or not it has a right to exist.
00:26:32.000The question ultimately is about whether or not we want a politics that dignifies Israel.
00:26:35.000You're not going to play the gotcha game, but you're not going to say you think Israel has a right to exist.
00:26:39.000Well, my question, Casey, I think the question we all ought to ask is.
00:26:43.000Does everybody have equal rights to peace, dignity, and self determination?
00:26:45.000That's Jewish, Israelis, and Palestinians.
00:26:47.000And to me, the folks who should answer what the ultimate peace there looks like should be Jewish, Israelis, and Palestinians.
00:26:54.000I want my tax dollars spent here in Michigan to provide schools in Michigan, to build healthcare in Michigan, to invest in Michigan rather than to be sent abroad to kill Palestinian people, do genocides and apartheid.
00:27:04.000The question about whether or not Israel has a right to exist is actually quite secondary to whether or not they have a right to our tax dollars.
00:27:10.000And people don't ask that question in good faith.
00:27:12.000So if you want to ask me about Palestinian right to exist, if you want to ask me about what I want to do for kids in Michigan, I'm happy to answer that question.
00:27:20.000Okay, so he's happy to talk about whether Palestine has a right to exist, but not about Israel, an ally of the United States.
00:27:25.000Again, we can have all sorts of conversations about military aid to Israel.
00:27:28.000And we can talk, for that matter, about military aid to Egypt, which he never talks about, or Saudi Arabia, or to Qatar, or to UAE, or to the wide variety of other countries where we have bases or provide military aid.
00:27:39.000We can do all of those things, but that's obviously not what he is concerned about.
00:27:43.000And he has no problem, by the way, with hundreds of millions of American taxpayer dollars passing through to the Palestinian Authority, which legitimately fosters terrorism, or American aid being passed on to the Hamas governed areas of the Gaza Strip, which, again, that's a terror group.
00:27:57.000So, again, what we have here in the United States is the importation of a class of people who hate the United States, are perfectly willing to use the institutions and rules of the United States against it.
