Host / other voice“Ilhan Omar's asked this same question. The difference is, it's why I titled the show this, sometimes the commies and the fascists and the Jew haters and evangelical haters and Protestant haters, because they're all in the same bucket, destroy you. Sometimes they actually tell the truth. She's asked the question about Piker, Al-Sahed, this whole thing, like this flourishing anti-Semitism, this crazy, crazy, suicidal nonsense going on in their party. The difference is Omar actually tells the truth. She's too stupid not to.”
Ilhan Omar“I mean, people, you know, in a free country, people can have opinions about people who campaign with candidates. I certainly had my own criticisms. And so everybody's trying to do the best that they can to try to get their message out and campaign with whoever that they think can help them do that.”
Host / other voice“How does Elon Omar, how has she improved our society? Little Mogadishu in Minneapolis. There's a ton of fraud, and there's the call of the Iran five times a day now. But has that improved Minneapolis or worse in Minneapolis?”
Host / other voice“Ilhan Omar, thank you, Taylor for the segue, is denying any involvement or any knowledge of this fraud. Now, the part of it that's a little tricky is that she did sponsor the legislation that created the fund that was stolen by a lot of these Somali fraudsters.”
Host / other voice“You would have never rose to these ranks that you're in in America in Somalia. You should be kissing the ground that you walk on and thanking the Lord for the opportunities that have been afforded to you by the greatness of America.”
Host / other voice“It is amazing to watch her run around talking about how she comes from a country where there was tremendous political repression so she knows how important freedom is. Her parents were literally involved. Her dad was a general in the political repression.”
Host / other voice“Ilhan Omar. And David Hogg, the far-left gun control advocate, they have decided that we should give Marjorie Taylor Green a chance, that she should be embraced by the left. Why? because she hates Donald Trump and Israel. She hates the Jews.”
Host / other voice“If Ilhan Omar and that, what's your name, Talib, if they knew that the United States was going to take military action against Iran, do you think that they would keep that information to themselves? You don't. You know that they would get that information at least public and probably to Iran.”
Host / other voice“the fact that Ilhan Omar, Rashida Talib, Al Green, and others decided to stay and play monkey and act and you know for no pun intended without green sign but they they decided to say it be clowns essentially and ruin or you know maybe add to the ruin of their chances in the midterms”
Host / other voice“People like Yohan Omar, particularly to leave. They don't have gratitude. Omar came here from a refugee camp. Being part of an American, the thing that distinguishes it is gratitude that you've gotten the best situation on earth if you were born here or allowed to become a citizen.”
Host / other voice“But you could have one of these congresswomen wearing a kaffia on the floor of Congress. That signals to the people watching, whether it's the Americans watching at home or it's people from around the world watching. That says to me they have confused loyalties. When figures like Elon Omar.”
Host / other voice“If you go back and watch Ilhan Omar, this is not just an Islamist disrespecting the head of a religious freedom, Judeo-Christian culture and president and country. I mean, that's pure hatred you're seeing in her eyes.”
