00:00:00.000In Minnesota, they know who to arrest.
00:00:01.000They know they're going to arrest the people trying to uncover actual voter fraud.
00:00:05.000So, yesterday, a couple of conservative, sort of undercover journalists, James O'Keefe and Cam Higby, they went to a Minnesota polling place in disguise.
00:00:15.000So, Cam Higby went in the full burqa, like the full beekeeper outfit.
00:00:19.000Can't see anything except his eyes.0.98
00:00:21.000James showed up in the full robe and with the headgear and everything of sort of traditional Islam.
00:00:32.000And they went to the Minneapolis polling station because they have a system in Minneapolis called vouching, where you don't have to bring an ID.
00:00:38.000If someone vouches for you, that's good enough for you to receive a ballot.
00:03:17.000Cam Higby, obviously, is not showing an ID.
00:03:20.000His name is not apparently even in the system, and he can act as the person who vouches, which is a crazy, crazy system.
00:03:25.000Now, and James O'Keefe has done similar things going back like more than a decade.
00:03:29.000Back in 2012, he actually basically was able to obtain dead people's ballots in New Hampshire.
00:03:36.000In an O'Keeffe video, according to ABC News at the time, poll workers offered up ballots without requesting ID from off camera operatives.
00:03:42.000Members of O'Keeffe's Project Veritas give names.
00:03:44.000The video alleges belong to deceased New Hampshire voters and received ballots even when they report they forgot their IDs in their car.
00:03:50.000So, again, all these things that O'Keeffe has been doing for legitimately over a decade are designed to show the absurdity of lack of voter security.
00:04:08.000If you're in Alaska and you decide that you're going to essentially get somebody to fake an election effort to misdirect voters away from the person they actually want to vote for, like Dan Sullivan's, the fake Dan Sullivan scheme up in Alaska, that's totally fine according to the law.
00:04:27.000And Democrats think that that is fine and dandy and no problem.0.93
00:04:30.000If you're James O'Keefe and Cam Higby and you show up in an attempt to expose the idiocy of Minnesota's voting laws, they will prosecute you.0.95
00:04:41.000According to the New York Times, state prosecutors charged the pair with unlawful voting, which can include an attempt to obtain a ballot by impersonating a registered voter and identity theft, both felonies.
00:04:52.000The maximum penalty for each of those crimes is five years in prison.
00:04:55.000Prosecutors say O'Keefe impersonated registered Minnesota voters during his conversations with poll workers, though no votes were cast fraudulently during the prank.
00:05:03.000Now, by the way, you used to just call this undercover journalism, right?
00:05:07.000It's a prank if you want to prosecute them, it's undercover journalism if it's a left winger doing it.
00:05:11.000He and Mr. Higby used false Arab accents and references to Muslim culture, which Minnesota's Secretary of State, Steve Simon, condemned as offensive.
00:05:23.000If it was like when they did all of that in order to obtain the ballot, didn't anybody find that offensive enough to not give them the ballot?
00:05:55.000I never violated a law for showing how Minnesota abuses votes.
00:05:58.000They seek to take mine away from me permanently.
00:06:01.000Minnesota's vouching law has been on the books for more than 50 years.
00:06:06.000Voters who are new to a precinct and have a registered voter who verifies they live in the area must provide a document such as a Minnesota's driver's license and the last four digits of their social security number to establish their identity and eligibility.
00:06:17.000The vouching system is commonly used by residents of senior living facilities who haven't updated their new address on identity forms.
00:06:24.000Now, here's the Hennepin County attorney announcing the charges, but admitting that neither of the men actually signed an oath.
00:06:34.000Mr. O'Keefe and Mr. Higby entered polling places in multiple instances, identified themselves using names of registered voters in those precincts without those voters' knowledge or permission.
00:06:48.000Both men stopped short of signing the oath we all sign before receiving our ballot.
00:06:53.000But Minnesota law states clearly that no individual shall intentionally misrepresent their identity in applying for a ballot.
00:07:02.000Having entered polling places without legitimate purposes and intentionally misrepresenting their identity to election judges in applying for a ballot, the charges filed today are appropriate to address the conduct of Mr. O'Keeffe and Mr. Higby.
00:07:37.000So I think this is going to be a very difficult charge to prove criminally.
00:07:40.000But again, it just shows you where Democrats are very upset.
00:07:42.000Democrats, not so upset about actual voter fraud, very upset about people trying to expose actual voter fraud.
00:07:48.000And don't worry, Democrats are fully upset.
00:07:50.000In tune with the idea that they should lock up their political opponents.
00:07:53.000Hillary Clinton is now on the lock him up bandwagon for Donald Trump.
00:07:59.000And he's soon going to have a Democratic Congress trying to rein him in, hold him accountable, and investigate him, his administration, his family, his supporters and allies.
00:08:09.000He literally has held Republicans hostage for a decade.
00:08:28.000So, Democrats are very on board with the lock him up, Donald Trump, for unspecified crimes.
00:08:32.000Very on board with the lock James O'Keefe and Cam Higme up for trying to expose ridiculous voting procedures.
00:08:39.000At the same time, they're very upset if you are upset legally with an Alaska Senate candidate who tried to rig the election in her own favor.
00:08:46.000And they don't care at all, by the way, if it turns out that a Minnesota Congresswoman, Ilhan Omar, married her brother or committed immigration fraud for herself and also for her brother.
00:08:57.000Like that's totally out of bounds.0.62
00:08:58.000In fact, if you note that, if you even mention that, it's because you must be some sort of deep and terrifying Islamophobe.0.74
00:09:05.000Also, if you notice that everyone surrounding Abdul El Sayyid is a radical Muslim Brotherhood member.
00:09:11.000Who funnels cash to terrorists allegedly?
00:09:14.000If you notice that, it's Islamophobia.
00:09:17.000Washington Free Beacon, which has been doing extraordinary reporting on El Sayed and all of his family members, they point out that Abdul El Sayed's father sits on the board of a notorious Islamic charity that was once busted for funneling cash to Saddam Hussein and has been raided by the FBI and U.S. military.
00:09:32.000The board also features two current members who belonged to the Muslim Brotherhood, according to documents from federal prosecutors.
00:09:38.000El Sayed's father, Michigan academic and imam Dr. Mohammed El Sayed, serves as a board member for the group Life for Relief and Development.
00:09:46.000The story began in 2006 when the FBI raided the charity's office.
00:09:49.000A year later, its CEO was charged by a grand jury with violating sanctions and money laundering laws, and the charity's accounts at Bank of America were closed.
00:09:57.000Federal agents also raided the home of the charity's then CEO, Khalil Jassem, according to the Detroit Free Press.
00:10:04.000Apparently, they knowingly and willfully formed a conspiracy for the purpose of transferring funds from the U.S. to Iraq between 2002 and 2003 by and through Jordan, according to the government.
00:10:16.000Those cash transfers took place at the height of U.S. tensions with Saddam Hussein.
00:10:21.000Also, that group gave millions to a group the FBI identified as Hamas's Jordanian operation, according to the New York Post.
00:10:28.000So, yeah, but if you ask questions about El Sayed and his family at all, it's just because you're challenging his loyalty.
00:10:36.000Well, even Democrats at this point, like Senator Cory Booker, don't even want to say El Sayed's name because they understand that that dude is toxic.
00:10:45.000Senator, I didn't hear you mention Abdul El Sayed's name.
00:10:50.000His candidacy and his viability among black voters.
00:10:53.000This is my focus right now winning back the Senate.
00:10:57.000And it's why I'm traveling all over the country.
00:11:00.000I'm going to do everything I can to make sure that Democrats have control in the gavel and can hold Donald Trump accountable, can actually check and balance his policies that are hurting people.
00:11:12.000And I certainly hope we have a 55 vote seat majority in the Senate.
00:11:18.000I'm not hearing a ringing endorsement.
00:11:23.000I mean, even CNN going on, dude, I'm not hearing you really say anything here, like at all.
00:11:28.000And there's a reason Democrats are having some trouble.
00:11:31.000At least the same Democrats, the ones who are crazy, the DSA members, Daria Lisa Avila Chevalier, right, who's a full scale DSA member in New York, she says that obviously the biggest issue for Democrats has to be yelling about Israel.
00:11:46.000If we want to win the White House, if we want Democrats to take power back, right, then Democrats have to be serious about.
00:11:55.000It has been a moral injury to so many to watch the horrors that are coming out of Gaza, right?
00:12:04.000And watch our elected officials justify it or underplay it or act as though there's any reason why we should be continuing to use our tax dollars to engage in it.
00:12:19.000Again, scratch a Democrat and get Darylisa Chevalier.0.50
00:12:22.000Scratch a Democrat and get Abdul Al Sayyid.0.57
00:12:26.000Abdul Syed is trying to hide this.0.58
00:12:29.000He's got to be lagging with black voters in Michigan because he's spending an awful lot of time with them trying to get them out to vote for him.
00:12:34.000He went to a barbershop in Grand Rapids in the most stereotypical act he could imagine to chat healthcare with black voters.
00:12:42.000Who do you think is the biggest lobbyist industry in the whole country?
00:16:16.000On resistance, even though we own stolen land.
00:16:22.000But in the founding of this nation, they were oppressing us, taxation without representation, and we matched that oppression with resistance by throwing tea into a harbor.
00:16:50.000The polls suggest it's closer than it is.
00:16:52.000And here he was saying that boys have a right to play in girls' sports.
00:16:58.000Either wrestling trying to resolve it on behalf of all Americans, their fundamental and constitutional rights, their respect and their dignity, or you're working to humiliate them.
00:17:07.000And I think it's been pretty disgusting what we've seen from Republicans in the past several years on this.
00:17:12.000Look, I don't think we need to knock down that youth soccer player who is working with their family and their doctor on whatever their current crisis is personally.
00:17:22.000I think it can be supportive of them to allow them to play in youth sports.
00:17:28.000Well, we'll see how that works out for them in Florida.
00:17:30.000This is why when I look at the polls and it says they're even close to close in Florida, I'm thinking to myself, yeah, that is not a real thing like at all.
00:17:38.000What an amazing video you just watched.
