Yes, little Ilhan. Poor little Ilhan, as she likes to be known, is quite upset that she can't get her cell phone back. Oh, and all those notebooks of her husband's, her daughter's cell phone. We're talking about a lot of cell phones. Welcome to the program, everyone. I'm Trish Regan. This is the Trish Regan Show. And we are beginning the show again on Election Eve on Ilhan Omar, who is kicking and screaming right now. And trying to suggest that somehow the administration is in violation of the law, that they had no right to confiscate any of this personal material. I want to just remind her it was a Biden judge. Was it not? A Biden-appointed judge who had donated money to Hillary Clinton's campaign that signed off on this? Oh, by the way, it wasn't just her warrant. There were a whole bunch of warrants executed because guess what? We learned from the DHS chief, Mark Wayne Mullen, that this is what you call a RICO case, and that they have, multiple targets, and they have discovered ample evidence. So Ilhan, you can kick and scream all you want, honey. I don't think you're going to have a leg to stand on. She did do a nice little puff piece. I mean, this was really a puff piece. Today, in a publication, it's kind of puffy, called The Nation. And The Nation just like, oh my goodness, could they kiss her feet while they were down there? Here it is. Ilhan Omar Trump has an unhealthy and creepy obsession with me. The Minnesota representative tells The Nation that her targeting is a deliberate attempt to distract the American people from the failures of this administration. No, no, no, no, no. Ilhan, I'm sorry, but they were on to you a while ago. We're going to talk, coming up in this program today with Scott Johnson, who you want to talk about a while ago. You were trying to call him a bigot 10 years ago. In fact, that's what your campaign said. He's going to join us today with more color on this entire ordeal. He actually, he comes right out and says, like, look, I wish I could do this. I wish her no ill will. This is not political. I actually found it kind of a fascinating story. I mean, who wouldn't? I think we all together collectively find this to be an absolutely fascinating story, because when you can't trace where you came from and suddenly you wind up as a big deal representative in the House of Representatives from Minnesota, all while, oh, there's a lot of money going back to Somalia. The Treasury Department calculated somewhere around $8 billion. We'll get to that too. And you had, well, let's just say, not necessarily the cleanest looking reputation around all of that, because you had $250 million of which you were responsible for with Feeding Our Future that went to your district. And there are many people involved that some might even say are actually allegedly related to you. Oh, boy, this is just getting good, good, good, good, good. Okay, I'm going to go back to the nation in a moment and back to what Ilhan's begging for. But first, keep in mind that you get all the Democrats circling the wagon here. They're being led by Barack Obama, who's like, how dare you, how dare you, how dare you. It's all about your creepy obsession with Ilhan Omar. I'm sorry. It's not a creepy obsession. It's a disbelief. And you know what? There shouldn't be somebody in Congress who's out there marrying her brother. And I'm telling you, yeah, you look at that evidence, it proved to me otherwise, okay? Please. Anyway, 175 now. Signing off on this letter. First 170, now 175. I'll tell you who's missing. Ms. Nancy Pelosi wants nothing to do with the little Ilhan Omar girl from Somalia. Well, nearly 200 House Democrats calling for the Trump administration to stop its investigation into Congresswoman Ilhan Omar. The group, led by Congresswoman Pramila Jayapal, warning the probe could hurt Omar's re-election bid, saying, quote, news of the search warrant, whether properly predicated or not, I don't know if I'm saying that word right, but Carrie Urbana's about to tell me, the voters' decisions, which is exactly why federal law enforcement should not engage in such conduct when voters are casting their ballots. This type of interference strips Minnesotans of their right to a free and fair election. This all comes as Democrats promise to investigate President Trump. Okay. I don't think that Minnesotans are not going to have a free and fair election because you had your cell phone confiscated, Ilhan. I don't think that Minnesotans are not going to have a free and fair election. Really, I think that's taken it one step too far, but nonetheless, it's not preventing her from trying. And again, she comes back to, they're just all obsessed with me. They're so obsessed with me. I don't think that there's any doubt that there will be a free and fair election there in Minnesota. And gosh darn it, you have only to look. I mean, I keep saying this, guys. You look at these odds here in Calche, and I'm like, you've got to be kidding me. I mean, she's like way out in front, and she's still complaining. I mean, I. I'm sorry. The president has said, listen, if she wins, we really need to take a harder look at whether or not we put her into the. if she actually gets sworn in, right? Because this woman. Well, I don't think it'll even come to that. Frankly, I think you're going to be in a situation where denaturalization is 1,000% on the table. Nonetheless, look at that. I mean, she's still soaring in these Calche ads. Odds, I want to point out. You can actually trade on this stuff. You can trade $25. You get $55. Go to calche.com forward slash r forward slash Trish. They are one of our wonderful shows. We're going to get back to Ilhan in a second here. But Michigan, this one sort of surprised me because we actually saw them come together after Haley Stevens came out and said, yeah, you know what? I'm going with Mike Rogers because Abdul Saeed is not who we need for America. And so you saw. See the red there? You saw it start to pop up. 22% of those in this market right now are predicting. that Rogers is going to win while 78% of the money is being placed on El Saeed. I don't really get that one. So to me, that's an opportunity. Again, you do you, I do me. But I'm looking at this in terms of how would I trade this in a prediction market. And I think that that's kind of an opportunity, if you would, perhaps that would pay out accordingly because the majority of the market thinks otherwise. Look here. Who will control the Senate? They're still suggesting here in these betting markets, trading markets, forgive me, trading markets. These are prediction markets, okay? It's very cool. I told you my friend Rob was wishing that he had actually participated in them vis-a-vis Bolsonaro in Brazil because he was invested in the ETF, which tanked when Bolsonaro lost. Flavio, he's now here in the US. Anyway, who will control the Senate? And you're looking at 53 to 46. So again, interesting way of looking at all of this and kind of makes election night a little bit more fun. Go trade $25. You get $55 from Kalshi. If you use my code there, go to kalshi.com forward slash R forward slash Trish. But again, just going back to everything that's happening here, I don't think that there's any chance that somehow Ilhan Omar is not going to get a fair shake because you just look at those numbers and the polls, et cetera. If anything, the Republicans not getting a fair shake. I do think, meanwhile, that this case is going to be really large as they have said, suggested, I mean, my reporting and some of my report, like I'm telling you what I know and then we talk about it, okay? So you hear what I know and then we talk about it. And I know what you know and I communicate, if you don't know it, I'm going to communicate it here. All along, you've heard them talk about RICO case, RICO case, RICO case. If you think about Mark Mullen over the summer and then as this news came out, he went on the Charlie Kirk show, now hosted by Charlie's friend. And he again said that there's going to be multiple, multiple targets. And then he once again was on Fox as recently as Friday saying that this is a very large case. So what does that mean? Part of me is kind of looking at it and going, gosh, could they go after everyone that came into Minneapolis? All those Somalian migrants that came in and maybe lied about their citizenship because of the P3 program that the Bush administration had put in where you could bring in this relative and that relative and this one and that one. And before you knew it, you had lots of relatives. Except they weren't your relatives because they were people who, oh, I don't know, maybe bought citizenship through you. You know, hey, you got 20 slots. You're sending them out to the highest bidder. You know what was amazing? The Bush administration actually had to discontinue its P3 program because when they did a random sampling of all of these migrants coming in from Somalia and Liberia and Ethiopia, they found 80% of them were not related. So they said, "Hey, I'm related to. " so-and-so and so-and-so. Nope, nope, nope, nope, nope. No DNA match whatsoever. So part of me kind of wonders, gosh, could they do a deep dive on the some 28,000 Somalians that came in during the mid 90s? And could they actually say, hey, none of you guys actually qualified for citizenship? That's one thing to take into consideration. Might be kind of a big, big project. But look, this administration sealed the border shot. Nobody thought that could actually happen. Then the other project, if you would, the most perhaps sort of low-hanging fruit project would be going after all the people that came in with Ilhan Omar, whoever those people might be. And this is why Mark Wayne Mullen, some of you have heard this sound before, but I play it again because I feel like, gosh, I learned something new. I hear something new every time I listen. And here he is talking about how they have a very large case with ample evidence that they're turning over to the DOJ. This is a large case that we have presented to the DOJ and the DOJ is leading the investigations. HSI did a lot of investigation to be able to present the case to them. And I'll just say this again, we're enforcing our nation's laws and we're going to do that. We're not weaponizing. We're not using political theater on this. Those of us involved in this case, isn't out here talking about it. I've made this very, very, very, very clear. We're enforcing our nation's laws across the board equally, and we're going to continue to do that. And if Congress doesn't like those laws, they can change it. And we'll also enforce those laws. But if somebody committed a crime, we don't look at that any different. I don't care where you're seated and I don't care how you're registered to vote. I don't care what your job title is. We use it equally. We're not the Democrat party that came after their political enemies like President Trump, and they know they weaponized our DOJ and FBI. For sure they did. But here's the thing. She's arguing that this is all political and that they are basically interfering with her freedom of speech, which is really wild. Here she is saying, you know, this is the unhealthy, unhealthy sort of obsession with me. She believes in, but she believes he has. But let me get to the part where she here is saying, OK, that she has this special freedom under the speech and debate clause. Oh, my gosh, this is exactly what do you remember? La Monica was trying to tell us La Monica MacGyver out there in New Jersey, the one that. Oh, don't make me go get that video. But you know what I'm talking about? The one in the red, the big one in the red with the big right hook. Remember that? And she was like, how dare you? You're trying to silence me. This is my congressional duty. And she cited the exact same thing. Article one, section six clause one of the U.S. Constitution, the speech and debate clause to make clear. Here's Ilhan. Ilhan saying that no president gets to use the power of the executive branch to intimidate or target members of Congress for political reasons. So wait a second. Wait a second. Let me just make sure I understand this correctly. You can come into the country potentially illegally, because that's what we're hearing through the grapevine. Get citizenship potentially illegally, given what we've heard through the grapevine. You can then continue renewing your citizenship through your passport over and over again, thereby extending the statute of limitations. And along the way, just for good measure, what the heck, you know, you've done one thing, you might as well do them all. You go ahead and you marry your brother, allegedly. I mean, I don't even know how much they're going to say allegedly from here on out, because it really does not look good. I mean, it really doesn't look good. So I mean, the fact that you were filing taxes with the first Ahmed all while married to the second Ahmed, that doesn't look good, right? You think that's okay to do? Oh, and then when you get discovered and found out, what do you do? You use campaign resources to hire an accountant to refile your taxes. Again, kind of a no-no. But you think you're not responsible. I see this, Ilhan. You think that you are not responsible because of the speech and debate clauses. Somehow you are above everybody else. No, let me tell you, lady, you're not. You're definitely not. And you've lied for 10 years at this point, allegedly. I mean, it looks clear, very, very, very clear to me. You know who else it looks clear to? The guy who's been on her for 10 solid years. So don't sit there and speech and debate clause me. This is what her fancy schmancy, very high priced lawyers, which I'm sure once again. We have no stores. No, it's not. It's just weather.

Remember that one? Another bizarre thing. Who pays their husband who's running the campaign nearly $3 million for a congressional campaign? This is unheard of. That's why the ethics committee under Biden was looking into Ilhan. This is unacceptable. I mean, she just can't get out there and claim speech and debate clause. Give me a break. Anyway, this reporter over there, if you can even call him a reporter, can you imagine doing an interview with Ilhan Omar right now, calling yourself a reporter and never asking the most obvious question in the world, which is, did you marry your brother? I repeat, did you marry your brother? I mean, Chris Hayes couldn't even bring himself to ask that one. He stumbled and stammered and had like a zillion different questions, except he really couldn't manage to get that out. Did you marry your brother? He said something like, you know, oh, they say you did this. They're really obsessed with you. I mean, it was the most ridiculous thing I've ever heard. I mean, it was the most ridiculous hodgepodge of an interview. And he kept talking over himself, preventing her, therefore, from answering. But eventually we heard, not to my knowledge. Did you marry? Are you related? Not to my knowledge. Oh, OK. So she said it's all political. It's a deliberate attempt to distract the American people from the failures of this administration. Oh, my gosh. Have I heard this talking point before? Have I? Yes, I have. I mean, this is just the same thing over and over again. So Republicans don't want to talk about it. They don't want to talk about it. They don't want to talk about the soaring cost of living, Epstein, the war in Iran, Trump's shady diesel deal with Russia. I actually thought that was a good deal with Russia. I thought that was a great deal. I thought it was kind of lousy of Ukraine to actually start bombing those diesel facilities after we had done that deal. Or the health care system. Instead, he sends DHS to raid my home. This is what authoritarianism, I would just love to see how she'd pronounce that word, looks like. Weaponizing the federal government against anyone he sees as an opponent scapegoating immigrant immigrant communities, blah, blah, blah, using racism and fear to divide us. No, no, no, no, no. I'm sorry, lady. We don't need to be here right now if you would just give us the DNA test. OK. All right. We could solve this very easily. Or if you would just say on record what the truth is, but you never have and you never will, because we all, I think, know what it is. Do we not? All right. You know, that's where the problem comes in. You, Ilhan, it's your entire family, because apparently there's some other people involved, including someone who may be a cousin. We don't know. His name is Saeed as well. And he was the enforcer. He was the muscle. He was the like secret service on her campaign that went around the Somali community in Minneapolis to try to intimidate everyone. This, according to the Powerline resource, Powerline blog, Scott Johnson's reporting, actually just fascinating stuff. So now we're looking at DNA. Naturalization. And we're looking at a very big case that's targeting multiple people, including probably all of her, quote unquote, relatives right here in the U.S. of A. And I would not be surprised. Again, this is sort of the next leg in things that I've talked about this before. If the Trump administration tries to go after a whole lot more people than just, say, the immediate Ilhan Omar family, if they start doing some digging and they start figuring out that all these people that came in and said they were related to Tom, Dick and Harry or Mohammed, Mohammed and Mohammed actually aren't related to Mohammed, Mohammed and Mohammed, then or Ahmed, Ahmed, Ahmed. I mean, in her case, there were two Ahmeds. That's how you remember number one and number two. Anyway, you know, in that case, you're going to be in big trouble. And denaturalization could very much be something that is front and center. And this is, in fact, what we saw in the HSI memo when they were doing this investigation eight months ago. Nine months ago, they were calling our friend going to hear from in a second, they were calling him up. and they were, you know, trying to get all the information that he had assembled over the years. So no, Ilhan, I don't think it's just pure politics. I mean, it probably doesn't help your case that you decided to pursue a career in politics because most people would think, gee, I came into the country allegedly quasi-illegally and I allegedly married my brother. So maybe I sit this one out. Maybe I don't pursue a career in politics. Instead, this woman thinks that she can just sit there and say, how dare you? How dare you? You're a racist. I'm not going to answer that question. How dare you even insinuate that? And it's like, well, look at this. How dare you? So she thinks she can hide behind now. First, it was racism. Now it's a combination of racism. And she's alleging that because I am a congresswoman, you don't have the right. This is you abusing your political power. I'm sorry. I'm not buying any of that. Are you guys, are you buying any of that? I don't think so. I don't think so. And the administration, I can promise you, I can promise you is not buying it. In fact, the administration wants to know where all that money is in Minnesota in general and also with Ilhan Omar and Feeding Our Future. Now, I think it's weird that the majority of the people involved in the Feeding Our Future scandal somehow were like friends of Omar. Some were campaign donors to Omar. Some of them shared the same Saeed last name as Omar. That's a little bit peculiar, don't you think? And the president wants to know how she gets all her money. I mean, at one point she said she was worth $30 million, right? Oh, and then she crossed it out 10 months later, kind of like she did on that marriage certificate. Remember the marriage certificate? I showed you that in yesterday's show. This was another one that, you know, some reporters like Scott Johnson had back in 2019. Imagine that. And the New York Post just managed to surface with it again. But what's fascinating is she crossed out her name and then she put Elmi and then she crossed that out and then she put Omar. It's like the woman doesn't even know what her name is. Much like the $30 million that got crossed out 10 months into everybody saying, what the heck is this? And what did she say again? And then she said, what the heck is this? And then she crossed out her name and then she at that time, how dare you ask me this? You racist thugs. I mean, this is all we get instead of just saying, well, maybe I ought to explain or have my accountant explain how our family net worth is now estimated to be nearly 30 million bucks. Instead, it's like, don't you dare ask me these questions. I mean, that's what's crazy. I'm sorry. That's not how it works in the United States of America, Ilhan. It's just not. Here is the president saying, Ilhan Omar report a net worth of up to $30 million just a short time ago. And then immediately say, oh, I made a mistake. It's really a hundred thousand dollars. Could it be that her highly paid accountant actually reported the money that was stolen from her fraudulent activities in Minnesota? Would something like that be possible? Do you think the accountant actually gave the right number the first time, $30 million, and that then she was found to disavow? Because she never would have been able to report where that money came from. She must've freaked out when she saw that money. Where did her house come from? He writes, where did her cars come from? And what about her lovely place in Washington, DC? I didn't know that congressmen and women made that kind of money, but I do know her husband, according to information and belief makes almost nothing. Huh? Maybe not. Mr. President, I'll explain. So it couldn't have come from him. How many people did she illegally bring into our country from Somalia? Ooh, America wants answers and we want them now. President Donald J. Trump. Okay. So he wrote that, um, around the time that all of this was first coming out, he, he brings up, how does she have any money? I'm just going to jump in. He may have forgotten that the hubby Timmy got $2.8 million for running her campaign. So, you know, if he just does that every two years, think about that. You're churning some big money. You're churning some bucks, aren't you? So what do you, what do you have to do to donate to the campaign? Okay. You're going to donate a lot of money. It's all going to go to Timmy, which goes to Ilhan. So I wonder what kind of books he was reading. The children's books in Somalian. He was learning Somalian. Was he learning Somalian because he had to learn how to walk the walk, talk the talk and dance the dance. As far as the Hawala network, money laundering network goes, there are some, some specific terms. It's quite secretive. I just wonder, she's very keen to get all of her stuff back. And I don't think it's coming back anytime soon. So the Hawala network is a real thing. And one of the real problems with it is that you run into a situation where something like Al-Shabaab, which is a terror organization out of Somalia, takes a cut on every transaction. So every dollar that's getting remitted back overseas through these money service brokers that send all this money back to people at quote unquote, home because they still think of it as home. They're working here, but they're sending money quote home. This is a problem. And the treasury department has discovered that Minnesota has a very big problem. As far as these remittances are concerned, let's go to treasury secretary Besson, who told us this on Friday. Since January, 2025, the Trump administration has uncovered more than 260 billion in fraud, prevented 72 billion in taxpayers funds from going out the door to illicit actors annually. And brought enforcement actions against nearly $60 billion. Nowhere is the work more urgent than here in Minnesota. In the weeks following my visit, treasury's financial crimes enforcement network, known as FinCEN, issued a geographic targeting order to trace criminal networks that divert funds overseas and ensure that taxpayer dollars go to the American people, not terror groups like Al-Shabaab. We have ongoing investigations at home and abroad into Al-Shabaab, its networks, and its enablers. Since the start of the Trump administration, FinCEN data have also supported the law enforcement effort that led to the arrest and charging of 115 fraudsters, as well as 75 convictions and nearly 3,000 subpoenas across Minnesota. And just yesterday, IRS CI assisted with investigative activity at several sites suspected of fraud. Unbelievable. So they're going to do a real money laundering investigation. And by the way, this guy knows how to do it. Okay. Don't mess with Besant. So they think that, I mean, you're talking in the hundreds of, hundreds of, did I hear that right? Let's double check this. So how much money has treasury said went back from Minnesota to Somalia? I mean, this, I think I had heard a crazy, crazy sum, but it might've been a national number. So I want to double check the math on that guys. I mean, this is really just outrageous, absolutely outrageous. And again, I've done these investigations in my career in the past, not here at home, but actually in Latin America and the money that goes out of some of these sort of lawless places like Paraguay. I mean, in Paraguay, I did an investigation looking at a hundred million dollars, a hundred million dollars that was going back to Hezbollah and Hamas. So we're talking about millions of dollars, millions of dollars. So forgive me, this may not be billion. I don't know where I got that number, but I I'm sure we'll, we'll track it down because I did get it from a good source in a good place. And sometimes, Oh no, I'm right. I'm right. Okay. Okay. Why do I ever doubt myself? All right. In late October, 2026, FinCEN flagged more than $8 billion in suspicious foreign agent directed payments through US MSPs from 21 to 25. This is a national figure for suspicious activity. It is actually not specific just to Minnesota. It is nationally, but that is what is going back to Somalia. It could be some Ohio in there too. Okay. Unbelievable. I mean, these are huge, huge amounts of money. And so you could have a situation where, Oh, I don't know. The US taxpayer is actually helping to keep terror organizations in Somalia afloat. I mean, it's mind boggling, right? And Ilhan sits there and says, what are you looking at me for? What are you looking at me for? I mean, we're just going to say, okay, there's the feeding our future and everybody involved in your community. And why is there such a heavy dollar amount of Somalian money going back 8 billion a year nationally? No, forgive me. That was not, that was over a couple of years. Okay. So the numbers, from 21 through 25, four years. So we'll, we'll, we'll average it out and call it 2 billion a year. That is a lot of money. Okay. I don't know what the GDP is of Somalia off the top of my head, but I imagine that's a massive, I bet that is the GDP. It's gotta be the GDP of Somalia. So without, without Minnesota, without Ohio, and maybe a little bit of Maine, they got nothing. So this is a big, big deal, a very big deal. The feds still say her name is this. It's Nur Saeed El-Malik. me so she may have come into the country as someone else and if she did this is where they got her so this is why she may be open to a civil denaturalization i mean this is what they've talked we talked about this hsi memo remember that glenn got the other day this is from what eight months ago state department got a memo from hsi they were looking for those passport records because they wanted every single instance of her filing for paperwork for the passport because why if she's filing under ilhan abdulami omar then they're alleging that that is in fact fraud okay fraud which is why they would say your citizenship lady does not exist and because it does not exist you can't be here and if anybody else was filing under those names they they don't exist either so the new york times did this big report we talked all about it right this big big report is like wow wow guys you finally you caught up to scott's reporting it was crazy um they said yes there was fraudulent evidence or evidence of fraudulent activity regarding the brother etc and obama knew all about it was just you know you have to ask yourself what the heck was going on with mr barack hussein obama that somehow thought he should get out in front of this and say poor it's just a big giant political mess and targeting etc you understand that's their legal argument here that's what she's telling the nation that's what her lawyers are saying it's a violation the speech and debate clause and that's what they're on board with the they're completely just forgetting about the fact that she may have violated the law which is the problem and i'll tell you it doesn't matter if you're the senator from minnesota or the congressperson from minnesota or the president from minnesota you violate the law you're not going to be able to do anything about it you're not going to be able to do anything about it you violate the law you violate the law so there was a reporter who figured this out 10 years ago his name is scott johnson he's actually i don't think he's technically a reporter he's a journalist he's like a citizen journalist before we knew what citizen journalists were right he was like he was like nick before nick came along he started writing about this he's actually a lawyer by background and has been practicing law for 36 years in minnesota but he started looking into this and he was fascinated with it she calls him a crazy right-wing conspiracy theorist blogger except that everything that he wrote is so now proved to be true i mean he he had it all 10 years ago and they wouldn't answer him and and you know it's amazing because he the the ice team came to him the feds came to him and they wanted more information they came to him in january so now we know that they went to state in february so they were starting to piece all of this together and i imagine they used a lot of scott's records here let me go i sat down with him a little earlier this afternoon i want to play this for you because what is the last thing on this list here at the hsi memo they're looking at the possibility there of citizenship she may be amenable to civil denaturalization it may just have to happen here's scott so glad to have back on the show scott johnson from the powerline blog joining us from minneapolis minnesota and i just gotta remind everybody by the way thank you for watching and i'll see you next time for being here again this is the guy okay this is the guy that first discovered ilhan omar's alleged secret and uh the new york times finally got around to it what a decade later scott uh trish thanks for having me back uh secret no more i what what can you say uh i've been on the case for 10 years and uh it's not an obsession i just found it to be an incredibly interesting story as the facts came out we reported them and i'm kind of proud looking back uh it's good to have the new york times on the case they they previously thought it was a conspiracy theory and something that was only fodder for conservative bloggers but there's more to it than that you have been asking these questions again going back a decade and you said to me recently you know she could have answered all these questions you could put something like this to bed but she was never willing to answer them in the beginning they accused you of being a bigot and then even the new york times has done stories on these right-wing conspiracy as you point out theory bloggers etc why doesn't she just you think come out and answer these things um how is it that she thought she could get away with 10 years of just you know saying well how dare you ask that question how dare you it worked well for her up to the this this past year well what can you say you know she checks all the identity boxes and she used it against anybody who was asking the questions so i can see how uh how she thought she might continue to get get away with it and i think i've got the story straight but you know we have have to wait for the government to put its cards on the table and see what they've found in the course of an investigation i was interviewed in it this past january here we are it's nine months later i think they have to wait for the government to put its cards on the table and see what they've found in the course of an investigation i was interviewed in it this past january here we are it's nine months later i think quite a file i'd be i'll be interested to see i've never seen that documents related to her naturalization and citizenship i'll be interested to see what that story is but i think that you know she she has not lived a life that was consistent with uh a high-flying career in american politics it's an interesting point because you know you're going to go into politics you kind of have to brace yourself for what's coming right it's not exactly a nice environment dirty politics you know has uh there's a reason that term has been coined and so she should have i would suspect be prepared for these questions to keep coming her way and you go back and look at the new york post released her marriage records from minnesota she apparently had crossed out her name a couple of times which was strange to me it was almost like she didn't even know what name she was supposed to put down there are reports that she was living with ahmed number one and she was living with ahmed number one and she was living with ahmed number one and while ahmed number two came into town and he was apparently living with them and the community was concerned uh both because of his flamboyant lifestyle he has since and and i had actually discovered this in a paper he wrote for the university of bristol come out as a gay man so naturally the the community was concerned one that the second husband was living with her too that he was probably not playing for her team and so they consequently were asking questions and according to the post reporter apparently the ahmed number one started saying well it's her brother and they started piecing together oh yeah that's the brother and he is the brother of ilhan and they are the children of nurse saeed elmi and you're like wait what so the whole community knew i think it was an open secret in the somali community i i was contacted very early on in this by somalis who were familiar with the story and and that's what they told me ryan reynolds here from mint mobile the message for everyone paying big wireless way too much please for the love of everything good in this world stop with

that you're referring to that prints this uh copy of the uh marriage license application for ilhan omar and abed number two her brother uh was originally published by preya samsunder at alpha news 10 years ago and um the the post went and got you know a copy so that they could say that they were going to print this copy of the marriage license application and they dug it out but but in fact it was reported and i wrote a retrospective for the washington free beacon a retrospective column last december called yes ilhan omar married her brother and right at the top of it is a copy of that uh that marriage license application which preya had dug up 10 years ago it's extremely interesting the post story was good they're they're trying to read read the marriage license application and see what we can get out of it with the cross names what was going on there what is ilhan omar's name and it was a big story last week or week before last when the government filed the memorandum that identified her as ilhan nur saeed elmi aka ilhan omar that was a big story but that's what we've been saying for the past 10 years as well and david steinberg is the guy who found that the they were living together the three of them during this period of when Ilhan Omar-- And by the way, I should just reference for the viewer, David also writes for Powerline. No, he actually was writing for PJ Media at the time. But when he summed up all his research, Trish, he wrote a long illustrated piece that he sent to me and asked to be published on Powerline that I published in 2019 called Tying Up Loose Threads in the Curious Case. And he reconstructed her family, identifying a total of five siblings, of whom Ilhan Omar was one and Ahmed Nour Saeed Elmi was another. And David is the guy who found that they continued living together as just one big happy family to marriage that was supposedly in an impetuous fling with another guy. We don't think that's what it was. But David writing for PJ Media discovered the. Continuity in the living arrangements. So Rob Long in that period of time, back in around 2019, he wrote a column, a humor column. Rob was the producer for Cheers and I think was a very good comedy writer in his own behalf. He wrote a column for National Review back then called That's My Husbro that he was turning their story into a comedy along the Cheers line. It's really a hilarious column. Everybody seemed to know at the time, but it's news again. Everything old is new. Breaking news from 2016 and 2019 was Ernesto Landano's New York Times story that you took a look at. Well, I reached out to you like, first of all, congratulations on your reporting because you I was reading it and I'm like, yep, yep, yep, yep, yep, yep. Scott told me that and told me that and I read that on his blog. So you had everything. The one sort of new piece of information. The information that is somewhat shocking and yet not shocking is that the Obama administration knew they knew that she had most likely married her brother. They had evidence that she had married her brother, and yet they didn't do anything on it and they didn't do anything on it, I guess, because they felt the statute of limitations was done and over. I mean, if you were to just advance it a little bit more, maybe you might have asked the name question, which would get you, I think, to where the HSI investigation. I mean, if you were to advance it a little bit more, maybe you might have asked the name question, which would get you, I think, to where the HSI investigation. As well as, you know, Mark Wayne Mullen saying they've got this RICO case and it's probably going to involve more people because it has to do with how you entered the country. What are your thoughts on that, both the New York Times piece and even what perhaps this sort of new layer is in that the statute of limitations doesn't even matter at this point? Well, the statute of limitations matters, but it depends what crimes you're charging. So I think there are crimes. They have been committed by Representative Omar that would be current within statutes of limitations like passport applications and related. I don't know what they have. I'm waiting to see what happens when they put their cards on their table. Ernesto's story in substantial part was based on documents that came out in 2019 that I was writing up every day for two weeks for Powerline, trying to embarrass the big local newsstands. And I was writing a newspaper here at the Star Tribune into covering what was in these documents. The documents were released by the Minnesota Campaign Finance Board at the end of its investigation when they charged Omar with infractions of Minnesota's campaign finance law. And they were really interesting and they were all consistent with their reporting that I had. That was the story was three years old at that point. It went back to her original state legislative campaign in 2016. And that's where I came in when she defeated Phyllis Kahn in the primary to run for the Minnesota state legislator out of the district that includes the Cedar Riverside neighborhood and the University of Minnesota where Phyllis Kahn was out of. Kahn was a feminist heroine, but also a professor at the University of Minnesota and really a substantial person. She was a 22-term incumbent. Ilhan Omar knocked her off in the August 2016. Primary and I started looking into the story about about Omar's marriages about a week later. And when I asked for a comment from the Omar campaign on the information that had originally been posted on what Omar herself referred to last week as a Somali blog. It's been wiped from the Internet like so much of this. But when I asked for a comment on her marriages. I. Got a response from criminal defense attorney that caught my attention, Gene Brandel, whom I had seen in court representing one of the nine Somali Minnesotans who were charged with terrorism in and either pleaded guilty or went to trial in May of 2016. I covered that trial when I asked Gene, I got a message from Gene Brandel calling me a bigot. And not responding to my. Request for a comment on the marriage information and I posted her response verbatim in its entirety on power line. That's where I came in second week of August second or third week of August 2016 Ilhan Omar her back pages. I printed Gene Brandel's response in its entirety and within a week I got a call from the Star Tribune Star Tribune, which was covering the controversy that we had created about her marriages. There's been an. Uproar. And the reporter Patrick Kulikin told me he called me asked me for a comment he said Scott I've got a a statement from the Omar campaign better than I had been able to do they deny that the guy she was legally married to is her brother and I said who do they say he is. And he told me they won't tell me. Now ten years later. We're talking about a ten. Year gap at. When she appeared for that interview on MSNBC MS now with Chris Hayes he asked her and that string of friendly questions well who was this guy. Where did this story come from was he related to you at all he asked four or five questions in a row along those lines including who was this guy and she ignored that question. She's still not answering it that's where we are ten years later who was that she's still not answering but she's got President Obama. You know carrying her water they're saying how dare you guys ask these questions I'm sorry I think that's over I think these questions have been asked and she's going to have to answer them. I I guess I I still wonder like OK who is that guy let's let's let's go with this he's her brother so she said she's one of seven siblings I know you guys along with David Simon have kind of mapped out the family you're finding only five of them but there's another guy that you told me you guys have reported on previously that came into this interview. You're finding only five of them but there's another guy that you told me you guys have reported on previously that came into this interview. that you told me you guys have reported on previously that came into the country with Ilhan Omar. He's one of the guys who's in jail right now for allegedly stealing millions of dollars from Feeding Our Future. And he actually has a last name that is familiar to us now, Saeed. Guhad Hashi is how I was told about him. He was charged with assault in Ohio. I actually posted his mugshot on Powerline in 2019, if I remember correctly. This is before the Feeding Our Future fraud. But I was advised at the time and said that he was Omar's enforcer in the Somali community. And I took an image that he'd posted on an Omar campaign Facebook page where he's going like this. That was his job, was advising the Somali community not to talk about the open secrets. So when the Feeding Our Future case was charged, there have been two big fraud trials in that case. I covered both of them on a daily basis for Powerline. When it was charged, the New York Times sent a reporter out here to look around at these sites, which were like little offices that were allegedly serving thousands of meals a day. The fraud was just brazen. And I think the reporter, I'm speaking from memory here, was David Ferentol. And he profiled a bunch of these sites and the people who were running them. And in his story, Guhad Hashi is identified as one of the people who had one of these sites and who was charged in the Feeding Our Future case. But he had no idea about who he was, that there was this, I'll say, old relationship of some kind with Ilhan Omar that I found to be of interest. And just to clarify, so this guy, I'm learning more about him, too. I knew that he was a campaign worker. I did not realize that he might have had a more significant role within Ilhan Omar's circle, being that, and again, this is from Powerline, actually. I read it. It's believed that he may be a cousin. He may be some kind of relation to the family. And David Steinman had concluded that in part just because of all the background work he had done, but also sort of the role that this guy played as the quote-unquote enforcer in the Somalian community. So he was seen as this relation. And then you just told me before we came to air today that this guy came into the country with Ilhan Omar and her dad. Everything I say about that aspect, it comes from David Steinberg. And I think it's in his post, Tying Up Loose Threads and the Curious Case. But David is really the authority on that. And I'm speaking from memory. All of the stuff that's 10 and 7 years old, I've forgotten more than I know at this point, Trish. So I'm doing my best to approximate. It's got to feel like somewhat good, though, to realize that, you know, it wasn't all in your head. You weren't some kind of conspiracy theory conservative blogger out there. But you were really actually on to something. And now being on to something is actually, I think, I mean, again, we'll see where this goes. But I think that they're going to have a pretty solid case there at the DOJ to argue for some kind of denaturalization. Because I suspect, and you're a lawyer, so you would know this better than me. But I would suspect with the passport stuff, if she's continued to renew the passport under a name that was fraudulently put forth to begin with, then that's a problem. Now, why would it be fraudulently put forth? Do you have any thesis or theory on that? Well, if she's applying for documents at a time when you're required to be truthful and you sign your name as Ilhan Omar, and that's a pseudonym or not your name, I think that would be problematic. That's all I can say. Why would it not be? Like, why would you have changed? Why would you have changed your name when she came in? I think she came in with the Omar family or with another family. They came in as something other than the Nur Saeed Elmi family. And that includes the father that we were talking about before we went on the air, too. I can't answer. I have to refer readers, your audience who are interested in this, to David Steinberg's long power line post that goes into the emigration of her family from Africa to Arlington. They started doing DNA tests of alleged families, and they discovered that 80% of the alleged relatives were not relatives, and they suspended the program for a year and tried to get their deck in order. I'm not sure that ever really happened, but in any event, the one time it was tested, it was found to be massively fraudulent. And I think that's part of the story here, but I don't know. I don't know. I'm just connecting the dots and trying to think logically here about what the feds might be looking into, and I would think that would be one part of it. They have come out on record. Mark Wayne Mullen repeatedly has said this is a RICO case, and if you basically do not present yourself truthfully when you come into the country, then anything that we gave you in terms of citizenship, et cetera, would be null and void, and thus her derivative citizenship would be null and void. But when he talks about more people. Well, again, I go back to, well, who else is there? Because we know about the sister, and so maybe her original green card was no good because of the false paperwork, but we don't really know about anybody else. As far as I can tell, they're all still over in the UK, except for maybe the guy who's in jail. I've read her memoir to try to see what might be of interest in it, and in the memoir, as elsewhere, it's said that she's one of seven siblings. And she's never identified a single one. Other than Sarah Noor, who also landed in Minneapolis. Where are the other ones? Well, David, in that power line post, tying up loose threads in the curious case, says that she's actually one of five siblings and identifies the others as Sarah Noor, the one sister who's been publicly identified heretofore, ten years later. Who are the rest? Well, we think it's the Ahmed Noor Saeed, the Noor Saeed Elmi family over in London. Ahmed Noor Saeed Elmi. Adela Noor Saeed Elmi, an older sister. And Mohammed Noor Saeed Elmi, an older brother. And back in 2016, when I was just looking at this, I got tipped to a video or two on Facebook that showed Omar going to London in 2015 and speaking before a Somali audience. And as I remember, was introduced by this Mohammed Noor Saeed Elmi. And Ilhan was announcing, I'm going to be running for the state legislature next year. This is really a great thing. Everybody was very excited about it. I watched the video or a related video a couple times one morning and came back to take another look that night and they had been wiped from Facebook. So that was the end of that. But it's consistent with all the reporting that Preah Samsoner did for Alpha News, drawing on social media that supported the family relationships. The father, the brother, Ilhan Omar. They didn't hide it. It was visible. Preah collected it and then it would be wiped out later. But we've got the screenshots that it's still in Preah's reporting on Alpha News. No, I've seen it. I showed the viewers some of the screenshots because it's like, wow. I mean, you really didn't hide it. Like you put your name up as something totally different on Facebook, on Instagram, et cetera. So that's that's sort of peculiar as well. I should think that there's going to be some real challenges. And I. I'm curious because it's not it's not just her when they're saying there's multiple they're saying this is a lot. There are a large number of targets, a large number of targets. That's a direct quote from Mark Winn Mullen on Fox on Friday. A large number of targets. Any any guesses what he means by that? I hesitate to guess, but I will guess this. Her real defense is going to be to protract. The case until the Democratic administration comes in and all this will be dismissed. But in the meantime, I do think the truth will out. And that's what I've been most interested in. I don't know what the legal consequences are going to be. I don't know what the citizenship consequences are going to be. But I do think that the truth will out. One other question. Why? I mean, like, again. We kind of started here, but you say she just didn't think that she was going to have a career in public office. Therefore, she didn't ever anticipate having to answer these questions. I mean, why would you be filing taxes with one guy while apparently married to another? I mean, it's just it's honestly bonkers bizarre. You've got to know you're committing immigration fraud. She's crossing out her name. I'm like, is this like she's crossing out the 30 million dollars? I mean, is she just not? Or does she just think that it doesn't matter? Like she can just just get away with it because nobody should. Nobody can ask like that's I just don't know how you do that. I think you need to live your life accordingly, especially when you're seeking certain positions, especially a position of power like that in office. There are a lot of people we lose in politics. Let's face it, who are just like, I don't want to have the microscope up against me that haven't done anything like this. The tax return document. That you're referring to are Ilhan Omar's joint tax returns filed in 2014 and 2015, 15 with Ahmed number one, Ahmed Hersey, who was her, her, I'll say her real husband and father of her children. She subsequently legally married him. That those tax returns, Trish, came out in 2019 in the second wave of information. They were in the campaign, Minnesota campaign. And so, you know, I think that's a really good example of what we're seeing. And there it is in Ernesto's story last week or the week before. Here we are. But this stuff has been out there. I've been writing about it for what, since 2019 or 2016. And it's I just thought it was so interesting. It's mind boggling, as you say. And everything, you know, some explanation is required, but it's never been given. So going back to the campaign finance thing and how she has lived her life. So she was kind of caught in 2019. She convenes this crisis management committee. That's what's in the state investigative file. It goes back to 2016. It's got their internal campaign emails. They're trying to figure out, well, what do we say about this? How do we kill this story? What is the real story? And they fly in a campaign consultant. He says, you know, it's kind of hard to explain. I'm culturally married to one guy. I'm legally married to another guy. It doesn't really look that great. And then they find the tax returns that are in this investigative campaign file. And she undertakes to file amended returns. I don't know what was ultimately filed, but she then pays for this. This is in 2019 now. She then pays for the lawyer or accountant to redo her returns out of her campaign. legislative campaign funds. That was one of the infractions was paying a lawyer for a non-campaign purpose. Well, that was interesting, too. And as I'm saying, she just, you know, the rules don't apply to her. Yeah. That's the way she's lived her life. Look, I mean, I'm sure there are no rules in Somalia. And if her dad was, you know, working for the warlord, as it is believed, there are definitely no rules. And it's who you know and what you can get done. But, yeah, those are big no-nos. Those are your personal taxes. You're going to pay for your personal taxes yourself. It shouldn't be your campaign fund. But we've seen this over and over again. And it brings me to $30 million, poof, suddenly gone, which, by the way, none of that makes any sense. And just, you know, I'm just saying, if you're a proud card-carrying member of the squad and the DSA and all this nonsense and you're all about the socialism and health care for all and, you know, we're going to make them pay, if you've got $30 million in assets to your name, that might not actually, like, fly with your base. I'm just saying, Ilhan. Like, you don't think that, like, somebody's not going to notice that. So to have it out there, and then I think it was out there, like, 10 months. It took her 10 months to actually redo those things. That's another example of some just really peculiar behavior. I have nothing to say. I mean, I agree with you. I'd like to know what the answer is. Yeah. I mean, I will say this. It's quite a mystery. It helps solve quite a bit of it. And hats off to you, Scott, for being so diligent in doing all this work. And people can read it on Powerline blog. And I encourage you guys to go there. I think we'll eventually get answers. I hear you on which party is in charge. Sadly, it shouldn't be about that because, frankly, you know, there's a lot. And it really can't be broken. And if she broke it, as we believe she did, with hubby number two and perhaps with her name and the passport, et cetera, I think that you're going to have a lot of trouble. But, you know, you've got to pay a price for that. I appreciate your having me back, Trish. Good to see you. Stay in touch. Yeah, thank you. Okay. It's wild, right? Again, thanks to Scott Johnson. And I just have to say, you know, this is what is part of what makes this country so great, right? And we have free speech for a reason. So that a guy who's practicing law can moonlight on the side and say, gee, this doesn't really add up. This doesn't make any sense. Let me dig into it. And he creates just this tremendous archive. And thank goodness he has it, right? Because all of those sort of family tree things and all those social media posts, and I've shown those to you, that's all coming from him. Him and a couple other reporters. And we're going to have them on, too, because I'm just fascinated by this. And I don't like the idea. I really don't like the idea that people like maybe Ilhan Omar seem to think that they don't have to answer these questions. I'm sorry. That's not how it works. Maybe that's how it works. In Somalia, if you're a warlord, you know, and you just you can come up with all kinds of reasons why you don't have to do anything. But here, like, we still kind of play by the books, you know. We Americans, we kind of have an expectation of some truth. And one, you can't come in under a different name. I saw all the questions about that. I mean, that is just bizarre, right? So she came in and was associated with this Omar family. So according to David Steinberg's research, which he published on Powerline, and I read, I mean, I just it's an amazing read. Guys, if you have a chance, go over and check out the website. You should really read this. And it's a lot there. But anyway, I'm reading this. And he tracks them from Kenya into Arlington, Virginia. She spent like one night in New York City and then went to Arlington, Virginia. And they are staying because they are the hosts of or the family relation of the Omar family because they are the Omars. Except apparently they're not. We don't know. And David Steinberg can't find the Omars after a certain point. They kind of disappear into thin air. And so, again, you're thinking and we've been down this before and we did it last week. So you can go and watch that show. But I'm just just resurfacing some of that for you guys. I mean, I had the question of, gosh, you know, is there any reason to believe if she came to this country in the 1995 sort of zone? Don't forget, we were backing our CIA was backing the bar regime. Somalia. And this guy is allegedly a colonel in the bar regime. So you can't tell me that our intelligence arm. I mean, you know, sometimes we think maybe they're not so smart, but I have a little more faith in them. Right. Than to think that they have no clue who he is. If he's a colonel in that military, it's not that big a military. So we should have, in theory, known that. Or he could have just really just snuck in. The computer records were not as vigilant, maybe, as they are now and have attached himself to the Omars. Because as David explained and is, forgive me, as Scott explained and David explains as well in his work. And I have explained to you, the P3 program was really loosey goosey. So anybody could come in and just say, yeah, I'm related to him or to her. And there you go. Bush finally had to get rid of it because people were so not truthful. So it could be as simple as he actually committed immigration fraud. And that's kind of out in the open now. And they're going to get around that and say. You knew he committed immigration fraud. And yet you continued to renew your passport over and over and over again, thereby meaning you committed this fraud. And so you're done. You're done. You're done. You're done. I mean, it is crazy. And there's all these inconsistencies in the books, right? James Franklin writing in her book, she said she was eight years old in 1989. And so we have to do the math on that to try and figure that one out. I also am perplexed because in her book, she says she is the youngest of seven children. Ilhan Omar claims she is the youngest. She is the youngest of seven children. And yet Ahmed number two, the second husband, Ahmed number one's the first husband, that was not actually, you know, that was not a civil ceremony. That was a religious ceremony. She married him in her faith, but not in the court of law. And so the second guy, believed to be her brother, believed to be her gay brother, actually, came over, got a green card, tried to actually eventually get his citizenship. But they asked a few too many questions like, you know. Why is it that she's still filing taxes with the first hubby while she's married to you, buddy? Why is it that you were living with her and the first husband? Like, you know, and then there are the social media posts. So you understand this just gets weirder and weirder and weirder and weirder. So for her to sit there and say, well, you know, you're just a bunch of racists that don't want to see a Somalian girl succeed. I'm sorry, like that ship has sailed and it sailed a long time ago. But you know what bugs me? I just have to say my piece before we move to El Said. What really, really, really bugs me is that no one did squat. No one did anything. And Scott, I don't know if he said this in the interview or if he told me before we were actually live to tape. That was a taped interview, by the way. I'm live. But just before I came on air, because I don't like to put the guests through, you know, if the audio goes out or anything. I know that you're fine with me, right? You can handle it. If the camera goes down, I'll fix it on the fly. But, you know, I don't like to do that to the guests. Anyway, so I asked. I asked him, you know, it's 10 years. And he's like, yeah. And he never had any sources in the FBI telling him that they were looking into this. So he was pretty impressed that the New York Times had gotten that on record, that people within the administration, the previous administrations, were willing to divulge that. So think of that. Like, here's a dynamite citizen journalist who's just moonlighting, right, like has a full-time career as a lawyer. And they're writing this stuff up and people are sending in information and the thing balloons and nobody does squat about it. That is really disheartening. OK, really, really disheartening. Why? Because of politics. Because somebody wants to see her get elected. I cannot stand that. But you know what? We're not going to let go of this. And I don't care what happens tomorrow. I think we'll do better than they say. We will. But I don't care what happens tomorrow. I'm not going to let go of it. And you shouldn't either. And together. Together with me, you know, we're going to figure this one out because I think, yes, peace of my mind, it could have been a safe house. He's asking, or she, I don't know. Nice kitty cat image. Peace of my mind. A safe house for Ilhan and her father. It certainly could have been. You know, I mean, again, you think about Somalia in the 1990s and what was coming and how there were all these warlords and, you know, terror organizations. And you had al-Shabaab over there and you had al-Qaeda and al-Qaeda. Al-Qaeda was operating in Somalia as well. And so there's a lot of reasons why we would have been very fixated on getting intel out of there even after we left. When we left, the place became a blah, like a total mess. And that's why her family had to take off and go to Kenya. And so they hung out in Kenya like three or four years. And then they came over to Arlington, Virginia. And I just think Arlington, Virginia is kind of an interesting location. Okay. You know, Langley's like five miles away. Who knows, right? Like, who knows? But I'm determined to see this mystery through. And then I was thinking, well, gosh, darn it, if we brought her over, does that make the Trump administration look bad? Well, no, it doesn't. It doesn't. Because, again, if this is what went down and she knows this is what went down, you don't go and marry your brother, right? Alleged. You just don't. And you probably don't run for office. You had kids that were born here. Like, let the next generation handle it. All right? you definitely don't get the cousin or whatever he is allegedly according to david steinberg's reporting the guy that was the quote enforcer right you don't get him involved in your

percent and up 15.1 percent okay little love for trish and rob who uh works with me my co-founder at 76 research take a look at that and i'll see you in the next video look at that month to date up 4.9 percent in the american resilience inflation protection up 4.9 percent income builder up 8.3 percent and the s&p is in the red look i'm really proud of this i'm really like this is my other passion and i i care so much about everybody having a stake in the future and you know even when times are seemingly rough and tough and we worry the communists are taking over i still am not willing to bet against america and so this is part of my whole thesis here and you see it mapped out in american resilience inflation protection income builder those are my three portfolios you can get the regular newsletter you can get the free newsletter the regular newsletter is dollar a month for the first two months it goes to 9.95 thereafter or you can get the portfolios and we just tell you exactly what we're investing in there's not a ton of change there's not you know we try to buy and hold and sometimes we make changes and it's a big deal when we add something or we sell something but you have all the information um that we have published on those three things anyway look um ilhan omar is something else is she not something else but you know who else is something else and that's this guy who i kind of have my trepidations about in many ways and gosh darn if he gets himself to the senate we're gonna have a lot more digging to do especially on those mosques that were promoting him possibly in violation i mean we should be looking into this anyway because you can't be in violation of your tax exempt status so there might be some interesting digging to do around that i would just say that abdul el saeed doesn't really seem to like america at all not at all but they're getting so desperate right now they're so desperate they have to have bruce springsteen come out and and post a loving note of support for el saeed why is that because this woman hayley stevens hayley stevens just came out swinging and she torched him hayley stevens was his competitor in the primary and now you know she had like 47 of the vote so when hayley stevens says hey don't vote for him vote for mike rogers the republican that actually could totally sway this race totally sway this race and so people are getting kind of big mad let me tell you how do i know it could sway the race well debbie dingle is a pretty decent you know michigan dem with her her sort of finger on the pulse of what the people are saying and she's out walking the streets and talking to everyone and she said a day ago like right before this happened she didn't think there was any chance that mike rogers could win and now that has changed this is a democrat telling you that and it's all because of hayley stevens watch by the end of the day i was i thought of dill was going to win but i felt a shift just being out as i always am this afternoon back in um or she said you know earlier and then she went out and she came back and she said you know what i think it's all going to change really mad they're really mad at what hayley stevens did i'm going to show you what she did first but i want to kind of lead up to it with some of this reaction because it's so over the top i mean i don't think i've ever seen so much personality out of anderson cooper in my life all right like he is usually like watching paint dry okay like this guy's got nothing he's reading that teleprompter he just keeps going reading the teleprompter reading the teleprompter reading the teleprompter and all of a sudden i think i saw a little bit of personality because he's big mad how dare you how dare you hayley stevens switch sides at the 11th hour i mean wow we actually saw some personality from one anderson cooper amazing on cnn let's let's take a look it's a moment guys so if you and he were on the same page when it came to that ad and you said that to the congressman at some point last night what changed other than he had put out that statement and disinvited you from that church service is that you're going to be on the same page with him again and again and was that the angrier and angrier part that you're focusing on? Anderson, this is a broader point about what's going on in our party. It's actually not. It's really just a question of why you changed your mind. We were just recognizing, look, I haven't cast my vote yet. You know, people, my neighbors were asking me. So you might change your mind again? They feel the same way. Anderson, my mind is made up. I'm rock solid. I'm an independent woman. I made my decision. You know, I still love my party a whole lot. I know there's a lot of people working really hard on elections all over this country. I really project that Democrats are going to win. Back in August, you posted on social media. And by the way, Anderson, but wait a minute, Anderson. Wait, wait, wait. Because I was a Democrat who flipped a Republican seat here in Michigan. And this is also about Michigan. All right? This is about, you know, Michigan is a Democrat or Republican. It's really just about you right now, and I'm asking you questions. Back in August, you posted on social media, quote, Mike Rogers will be another rubber stamp for Donald Trump's dangerous agenda. We can't afford to give MAGA another Senate seat in November. How do you, why is it okay now, why can you afford now to give MAGA another Senate seat in November? Well, why is it okay to have the Democratic Party and a top nominee, you know, ejecting, you know, this type of, or injecting, rather, this type of anger and lack of kindness? That's all. I'm one Democrat. Okay, so it's the anger and lack of kindness. That's what you're focusing on. And there's others who feel the same way. So the anger and lack of kindness. Finance. I'm sorry. I don't want to talk over you. The anger and lack of kindness. No, no, that's okay. No, no. It sounds like you're upset with me, too, Anderson. No, I'm not. I'm just, you're not really answering any of my questions. So it's somewhat frustrating. Oh, my gosh. Because, again, he just can't accept that somebody might actually think maybe a DSA candidate who is bragging about how he's got citizenship in Egypt. We've got to run that one down. Can someone please get a law through that says you cannot have dual citizenship as a senator or as a congressperson? Can someone please do that, like, ASAP? Because he has said, apparently, on a job application, and then, and his campaign says, no, you know, he was mistaken. He doesn't have dual citizenship. But, I mean, I'm not the one that said it. He said it. And those questions haven't been answered. And then, of course, we know how he feels about Israel. Apparently, Iran, you know, they're the big up-and-comer, right? I mean, she logically, now, I think, is trying to think on a bigger scale. Outside of party politics, and yet they're freaking out. Oh, there was one more. Like, this moment, this awkward, awkward, awkward silence between Anderson Cooper, who can't believe what this woman did, and Haley Stevens. You've got to watch it. You've got to see it to believe it. This was, again, I don't know. Somehow, we're getting personality plus out of Anderson Cooper here. But you were willing to be at a campaign event for him. You wanted to be at a public event with him up until some point. I mean, I guess yesterday, and it's just an interesting change, and I think a lot of people are curious to try to understand it. Wait for it. Was that a question, Anderson? No, I wanted to see if you wanted to fill in the silence, but you don't. Oh, look. Yeah. Look. Michiganders are going. To the ballot box. All right. You know, there's over a million people who have already voted, more to go, and I've made my. I mean, that's kind of funny. You've got to admit it. And so I just think that El-Sayed is probably looking at a free fall right now, probably looking at a free fall. And they're sitting there going, if we lose this opportunity to get the Senate, we know exactly who to blame. And it's sort of funny to me. Because even Carvel, you know, Carvel, I know, I know you guys don't really like him, but occasionally like he'll come out with like a nugget here and there and you're like. like, oh, wow, like maybe he's actually not as crazy as the rest of them. And he's had those moments as the socialists try and take over the entire party. So I thought, well, maybe he'll be supportive of her here because he's the one who told us, listen, if you want Hassan Piker in this party, this is not my party. I'm out. He's already said that. He doesn't like the squad. He doesn't, in theory, I guess, like Abdul Saeed. And so I was a little surprised. He went down in the gutter, full warning, warning, warning, warning, warning. It's Carvel getting crude. Surprise, surprise. And, you know, he he had this to say about Miss Haley Stevens and this decision she made. Here we go. But your political career is over. If you think that these Republicans are going to treat you as anything other than what they view you as, and that is, let me just break the news to you, a used conduct. The Democrats don't even think you're worth a used condom, but that's about where you are. You made your bed, sleep in it. You shit in your mess kit, eat it. And, you know, at some point, if you like Fetterman and Stevens, maybe we need to open a cheeseburger restaurant somewhere. I don't know. I won't. Mind you. So they're really, really mad at her. They're really mad. I think they're so mad at her that I think she ought to go down to Mar-a-Lago and, you know, hang out, enjoy the party. The president is thrilled. He said, wow, this is big. You've got a congressperson, Haley Stevens, a highly respected Democrat who nearly lost in the primary to Abdul Mohammed El-Saeed and who has been breathlessly wined and dined by the Democrats in their Michigan campaign for United States Senate against Mike Rogers, has just endorsed Mike Rogers for Senate. Let's be clear. Abdul was not very nice to her, was not very welcoming, seemed to indicate that he didn't really want her on the campaign trail, et cetera. And I think she kept sizing the situation up and maybe for personal reasons, but also hopefully for reasons of country and patriotism. She's saying enough is enough. Her following is huge. He writes in the level of respect from the people of Michigan, especially our African-American and Jewish populations is virtually unparalleled. Haley did and said what few people are willing to say. She showed great and almost unprecedented loyalty to the great people of Michigan. She said, I don't know, I don't know, I don't know, I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. With what she did, it's a thing called bravery and few people, few people have it like this Congresswoman Haley Stevens. Let's go to the particular clip, the tape that really has set everyone off. Haley Stevens switching sides over the weekend. Let's roll it. Hey, Michigan, as you may have seen, our Democratic nominee for U.S. Senate, Abdul, said that I was no longer welcome in his campaign and that I should stay away. And he's right. And that's why I am endorsing Mike Rogers for the United States Senate today. I don't belong in Abdul's campaign. I do not stand with Hassan Piker, who gets trafficked on our college campuses. A dear friend of mine earlier today was saying that education is on the ballot. And she's absolutely right. And what our students see, what our children see, and who we are as Michiganders is not hate and is not what we are getting out from our Democratic nominee right now. So I am just one person. I love this state. As some of you know, I've, you know, run a campaign saying that it was a love letter to Michigan. And I'm here to declare who we are as Michiganders. This is Phil Hart's seat for the U.S. Senate. This is the conscience of the Senate right now and our Michigan moment. And I'm just letting you know where I am. I'm still a very proud Democrat. I still very much believe in everything I've voted for and said, and I've worked really hard and will continue to do so in all the ways life's opportunities afford. Godspeed and love you all so much. Amazing, amazing, amazing, amazing. So congratulations to her for that. It did take a tremendous amount of courage. I'm sure this was not fun. It's probably very scary. Her party is furious with her. She's got Carvel hurling all kinds of disgusting slobber at her. She's got Anderson Cooper actually showing a personality for once because he's so upset with her. I mean, this is this is a big deal. And so she has angered the Democrat Party beyond the beyond. And she probably I'm guessing probably doesn't have it. Maybe there's a future. I mean, maybe she can be kind of one of these middle of the road people that helps bring people together. Allah Fetterman, right? We've seen it from him. Abdul's response. He's furious. He told reporters today, don't you dare ask about that. I'm not going to answer any of these questions. You know, he tries to control every single interview and he's annoyed that this is even an issue. But Abdul, I'm sorry. I think it's going to get harder and harder and harder for you. We'll see what tomorrow brings. I sure as heck hope you don't win. It's going to be a sad, sad day for Michigan in the country if you do. Do you believe that Haley Stevens has betrayed the Republican Party? She didn't hear what I just said. Has she betrayed the Republican Party? Has she betrayed the Democratic Party? I don't know what that party is anymore. I don't know. At the end of the day, I actually don't think about Haley Stevens. See what I'm saying? Like, I think about the. Like I said, the 9,999,998 people who are not those two. Because you know what? I'm just less interested in the politics of it all than I am in the policy of it all. And so, look, if you're somebody who believes that we ought to have more rights, not less, then I would think you would support me in this race. If you are somebody who believes that we should stand up to hate and you have watched this last campaign, I think we probably would not want to support Mike Rogers and Donald Trump and J.D. Vance. You're somebody. Okay, whatever. He doesn't like those questions, okay? And you know what else he doesn't like? This reality. The reality that the polls that show that this is a close race with him may be a few points ahead. Those polls may be. They may be really wrong. Because they're always wrong. Let's face it. They are always wrong. Who is telling a pollster what they think? Not a MAGA conservative. I guarantee you, they don't like the pollsters. They don't. They don't have. The time of day, frankly, for the pollsters. And they're not about to admit anything in a telephone call like that. It's just not happening. And so I don't think the polls are accurately counting anyone. And it's happened before and it's going to happen again. Even CNN is admitting, yeah, the polls aren't telling you much at all. Let's go to Harry Enten explaining it today. GOP has beat the final Senate polling average in close races in states Trump won in the prior election. Look at this. By 4.1 points. By 4.1 points on average. And I will note the Times polls are kind of right up there in the sky of how good Democrats could potentially do. The averages are closer. So let's just say that, in fact, we do get these polling errors and the GOP is, in fact, underestimated. What might that do? Well, it might do something like this. Hello. Okay. You go from all of a sudden Democrats fall significantly from 54 seats down to 49. Why? Because Alaska goes red. Texas goes red. Kansas goes red. Ohio. goes red. And so I think that people should keep in mind that polls are just tools. There are definitely scenarios that are out there in which Republicans could very well hold the United States. Okay. You bet they could. And I think that's actually what's going to happen. I think that we are not getting an accurate read on these polls and that it's going to be better than you think. Okay. But that's sort of my intuition. I mean, we'll see what finally happens. comes out of all this. Don't forget, Americans are frustrated. I get it. You know, prices are higher. They kind of were hoping for a big change. And it's not quite what they would have liked to have seen, especially vis-a-vis some of the energy prices. Oh, I had a really good graphic, though. I wanted to show you on this because take a look. Oh, look at this, guys. All right. So this is days above $100 a barrel. Okay. Look at who's leading this pack. Would you look at who is? Okay. So here we go. Bush, 146 days. Donald Trump's first term, zero. Joe Biden, 83. And Donald Trump's second term, this is 35. But actually, it's more like 40. And look at who, look at who led the pack. You saw him. Barack Obama, of course. So, you know, I get that people are upset. I'm just trying to kind of put it into perspective. I sat down with my friend Kent Strang from AFP. He's been out knocking on doors. So he's hearing directly from voters all over the country. And I want you to hear what he's explaining is going to happen tomorrow on Election Day. The issues that matter. Here's Kent. Joining me in this countdown to the election, our friend Kent Strang from AFP. Good to see you back here. And boy, do I need to talk to you. Okay. Kent, I'm looking at all this. I mean, these polls are all over the place. I mean, even the prediction markets, which I love because, you know, it's money. But I don't know if this is all right. Like, I really, I mean, maybe it is, maybe it's a complete blue wave, but I'm not feeling that. I know that you guys and your team, you're like going door to door. So you have like. real door data. What are you seeing? Is it going to be a blue wave? Is it going to be, you know, a lot of, are we going to keep the Senate? I mean, do you have any kind of sense of things given what you're hearing from people in the field? Well, Trish, great to be with you. You're right. We have been knocking on millions of doors across the country, and we have been focused on Senate states and talking to swing voters. These are the voters that are going to make the difference in the election. And we see a couple of interesting trends that first and foremost, cost of living, the cost of gas, the cost of groceries, housing, that is the most important issue among swing voters and Republicans and Democrats can't get away from it. But what we also see is they don't want a bunch of jargon. They don't want fancy words. They want Canada to have a plan to address the cost of living. And so when we have DSA candidates, what we're finding is that they're not going to be the ones that are going to be the ones that are going to be the ones that are going to be the ones that are going to be the ones that are going to be the I think what the DSA candidates, as the left has been pulled further and further to DSA-style policies, is that there's a lack of substance there. And that's where there's opportunity for Republicans not only to talk about cost of living, but to deliver swing voters an actual plan with substance. How are we going to lower gas prices? How are we going to lower grocery prices? Things like regulations that are out of control, cutting red tape, smart pro-growth tax policy. And when we do that, we're going to be the ones that are going to be the ones that are going to be the ones that are going to be the ones that are going to be the ones that are going to be the ones that are going to be the ones that are going to be the ones that are going to be the ones that are going to be the we see that those swing voters move away from those folks to freedom-oriented candidates. I mean, this was the key to Donald Trump's success. Right? This was the key to Donald Trump's success in 2016. You go back, and I was laughing at the time, because I remember he'd go on Bill O'Reilly's show, and all of a sudden they're talking about trade deficits. And I'm like, whoa, you know, because I'm a business reporter. I'm like, finally, somebody's talking about trade deficits. I like it. I like it, right? In the mainstream media or mainstream Fox. And to me, that was very refreshing. It reminded me, you know, another candidate that did well, unfortunately, was running as an independent, so didn't do that well. But Ross Perot was talking about real stuff. So you're saying, you know, forget the petty politics stuff. You guys actually have to deliver real solutions and have real answers and, like, kind of get into that nitty-gritty substance. And people do. The American people respond to that. But have enough Republicans done that? Well, it's going to be a race by race. And that's why it's hard to give a big, lasting prediction on what's going to happen, on Tuesday on election night, because it's going to be case by case. Who are the candidates that made their case? Because we're seeing when we have those conversations of the candidates that are doing that, our data shows that 60% of those voters move. That's a big margin for folks. And so as you go into the home stretch with one day left, and you're talking to swing voters, have a plan on how to lower cost of living. They don't want to hear Medicare for all. We're going to change the Constitution, and we're just going to snap and make everything better. That's not what they're going to do. They're going to change the Constitution. That's not what they're looking for. They want substance. They want policy. I saw that, you know, I know you have a music background. So I'm going to run this one by you. Bruce Springsteen out with a, is it an Instagram post? I think so. He's saying Dr. El-Said, doctor, is a fighter for our American Constitution. He's a fighter for our American democracy. And he's a fighter against the corrupt, lawless and anti-American leadership currently in the White House. This is why I'm in his corner 100%. Bruce Springsteen. Is this because they're worried? I mean, you got to think about that. I mean, you got to think about the timing of this. I mean, I would just argue that Saeed believes the Constitution is a white supremacist document that needs to be undone and socialism needs to take its place. And, you know, with that, you get almost even a communist bent. But all that aside, you know, to bring in the big guns here with Bruce Springsteen at the 11th hour, are they really worried about Haley Stevens and her switcheroo to Mike Rogers at the last minute? Do they think that actually they are in jeopardy of losing Michigan now? Bruce Springsteen: Well, I don't think he had a very good week with his supporter accosting someone in a public forum. And Haley Stevens moving over to Mike Rogers because she, like a lot of mainstream Democrats, are concerned about the rise of DSA candidates. And so they brought in 2008 talking point Barack Obama along with his teleprompter. And now they're bringing in the boss, Bruce Springsteen. But I question whether he is really an advocate and a champion of our Constitution. You can look at the DSA's website right now. What do they want to do? They want to change our Constitution. They want to eliminate the presidency. They want to eliminate the United States Senate, which he's running for. They want to eliminate the Supreme Court. They want to completely upend our constitutional republic. So I find it pretty fascinating that that's Bruce's take. And so I don't know if anybody in Michigan is going to the polls and thinking, gee, I wonder what the boss is going to do as he sits in his New Jersey mansion. Yeah, I hope they're not. I hope they're not. But they might think about Haley Stevens and if they had voted for Haley and now here she is 11th hour saying, you know, I just can't do it. And I was sort of surprised by that. I will say that it probably took a decent amount of courage. Carville was just awful and crude and disgusting in some of his comments about her for having made this change, which I was sort of surprised at because I didn't think he liked DSA very much either. And I think a lot of Democrats just can't believe that she would cross that line. But what are you supposed to do when the alternative, the DSA, the communists, the socialists are so extreme? I think this is what's fascinating. Another thing that we see on the doors is 82 percent of the folks we talk to want freedom. They want opportunity. And I think what Haley Stevens did is a lot of folks on the left are saying, oh, it's sour grapes. If she wanted to do sour grapes, she could have done that a long time ago. And I think this is what we're hearing at the conversations at the door. Yes, they're concerned about cost of living. They're concerned about gas prices and grocery prices and housing prices. And maybe they think the Democrats will do a better job than Republicans. But they're not down for socialism. They're not down for that brand. They don't want to go that far left. And so I think the American people have a choice on Tuesday. Do you believe in freedom and opportunity or do you believe in control? Because that's what the DSA wants. And so as they offer you liberation and free stuff, it comes at a cost. And that cost is your liberty. That cost is your freedom because the government's going to control everything in your life. And I think we're seeing a lot of Democrats who don't want to go down that road, Haley Stevens being one of them. I get that Michigan's a fight. What I'm sort of surprised at, I'm going to be honest, is Texas. Yeah, Texas is a really fascinating race. And I think we've seen this one before, too. And this is why polls are important. And they give us a snapshot in time. But Election Day matters and what happens in Election Day. We've seen Beto O'Rourke, he's going to win. Colin Allred is going to win. That's true. And what happens when you shut that curtain and you cast your vote or you mail in your vote or whatever mechanism you do is what's going to matter. But I think it's so important in all these races across the country, these are midterms. This is not a presidential election. Turnout matters. And so we've talked about this before. It's not just enough to vote. Knock on your friends, neighbors and talk to your family and engage and join Americans for Prosperity on the last day and talk to voters and encourage them. Can you still join, seriously, on the last day? We're going to knock on doors up until the very end. Absolutely. We don't stop. And we'll probably have state chapters knocking on doors after Election Day for policy that we want to get passed in state houses. And so it's so critically important that you don't sit home because a poll told you that it might be over. Yeah. You have to go make your voice heard. And again, we've seen it. We've seen it in the presidential election, of course, in 2016. Even if you looked at what the polls were saying, Kamala was way out in front and was going to take it from Donald Trump. And it's like, seriously, Kamala? Eventually that started to shift. But I really I look at what's what's going on right now and it kind of feels like a repeat, maybe a more exaggerated repeat. And I think that's because the base feels a little bit deflated. Right. They thought things would be a whole lot better right now than they are. And they're not yet. I can guarantee you they would have been a whole lot worse under the alternative. But, you know, people had very, very high expectations. It feels like, OK, they're not met. Energy prices are still a lot. And when is this finally going to get fixed? It will not get fixed with the DSA. We know that. But, you know, so that I guess you need that enthusiasm there is what you're talking about. I know that people can go to A250Toolkit.com/Trish, T-R-I-S-H, my name, because I'm sending you over to help Kent and his friends there at AFP so you can join in and the fun and knock on doors, et cetera, be part of the movement, whether it's today, whether it's tomorrow, whether it's the day after or whether it's next week or next year. I mean, I think having this commitment is so incredible and important. And it's what I admire most about what you're doing, Kent. Thank you so much. Great to be with you, Trish. Well, we'll see. Fingers crossed that it all works out. We'll have you back to talk about the aftermath. But I feel good. I think we keep the Senate. I don't know if you're willing to go long on that prediction right now, but I think we keep the Senate. We'll see. And, you know, I hope I'm here with you saying, my gosh, darn it. Those polls, they really were wrong. No predictions today. But I will ask one thing as we close here, and that is, I hope Americans remember what Green New Deal style policies did to our gas prices, what out of control government spending did to inflation, that the $5 trillion that they spent with Nancy Pelosi and Chuck Schumer and Joe Biden led to 40-year high inflation. It led to the average American paying $11,400 more just to maintain their lifestyle. And before you give the keys to our economy back to the Democrats, it did not go well last time. And so I know we have short memories in America, and those kitchen table issues matter. But wow, they really wrecked our economy. They wrecked our border. It did not go well. And the Democrats do not have a real plan to lower costs for American families. Kent Strang, always well said. Thank you so much. I just saw one of your notes, Kent's witnesses. Yes, that's it, right? Because Kent and his team, they go door to door. But listen, you actually have to go door to door. It's how I knew that Trump was going to win in 2016, because I was living in Manhattan in New York City at the time. And whenever I would travel anywhere, right, on a story out to the middle of the country, that's when I got it. That's when people would come up to me and say, hey, you know, I really, and they were so afraid to say it. I'm a Trump supporter, and people are still afraid to say it. I mean, still, that's a thing, guys, right? And so I think you have that shy Trump voter, and getting out and knocking on doors and people feeling like they can talk to you and they can trust you is a very different thing than being a pollster and calling up and saying, I'm from New York Times, Siena. And like, you know, like MAGA people are going to be like, click. Sorry. Not talking to you. And I read in one of the comments, I think Lourdes saying, Lourdes saying, I've never spoken to a pollster ever. And that's, you know, that's kind of how it goes. So look, he's fighting the good fight there. And you can join him at 8250toolkit.com. I'll try to put that link as well in the show notes. It's great to have you here. I'm going to be back tomorrow. We'll see how this is all going to go down tomorrow night as to whether I'm here live with you. I'm thinking about it. I will definitely be here live tomorrow afternoon. Always. What time? Probably around four o'clock. So ahead of the polls closing, we should be having a lot of data coming in maybe around eight o'clock tomorrow night. We'll see. And of course, polls closing on the West Coast at a different time. We'll again, we'll see how this all plays out. Here's what I'm going to tell you guys. No matter what, it doesn't change anything. If we do not win, it's okay. All right, because we're going to get up the next day. And we're going to be here ready to commit and to fight for everything that we care about. And if we win, great, but it doesn't change the equation. In other words, you have to protect your freedom. And so you can't sit back on your hind legs and think like it's done. It's like my little YouTube channel, right? Every day we're fighting for viewers here and I can't get lazy and think, you know, who cares? You know, we'll just slop any old thing on and I don't care about this story, but I'm going to talk about it anyway. No, no, no, no, no, no, no. You have to come to work every day to give it your all. And you have to have that same commitment to your country every day and to patriotism. You must be willing to defend it and love it and stand up for it, whether you're winning or whether you're losing. Okay. So whether we win or lose, it doesn't change what I believe in and what I'll fight for. And I just want to say that going into what is going to be a very big, big day. All right. So go out and vote, go out and vote. I'll say it again, go out and vote and tell all your friends to go out and vote because this is a big deal and there's a lot on the line. I'll see you right back here again on the Trish Regan show tomorrow. Thank you. Live US-based agents help deter intruders in under 30 seconds.
