Omar and Benny discuss Somali immigration to the United States, arguing that Somalia’s culture is incompatible with Western civilization. They claim Ilhan Omar’s marriage to her brother is emblematic of broader concerns, asserting that in Somalia up to 50% of tribes are inbred through first- and second-cousin marriages and that the country has high rates of child brides, female genital mutilation, polygamy, tribal warfare, fraud, and piracy. They question who decided that this culture should be brought to America and propose a test: “The people are the nation,” suggesting that if Somalia were a fifty-first state, people would not want to visit it. They reference Winooski, Vermont, where they say the Somali flag is being raised near the Canadian border, using this to illustrate perceived spread of Somali influence. They criticize Democrats for saying no one is above the law but allegedly excluding illegal aliens, drug cartels, terrorists, felons, and “Somalians who are breaking the law.” Benny frames this as part of Somali culture described as a “failed state” where fraud and piracy persist. They explain a Food Fraud scheme during COVID: Minneapolis-area restaurants in Somali neighborhoods allegedly claimed to feed people while ghost meals were funded by the Meals Act of 2020, authored by Ilhan Omar. They claim Ilhan Omar created the vehicle for fraudulent mass funding and assert that many of the restaurants had connections to Omar, with people indicted for fraud being close allies who worked on her campaign, donated to her campaign, and benefited from the program, which allegedly involved millions of dollars and ties to her network. They state these funds were then donated to her campaign. Omar and Benny assert that the vast majority of Somali immigrants in the country are on food stamps, are unemployed, and do not speak the language, presenting this as fact. They emphasize that they want to deal in facts and frame their discussion as concerned about assimilation and integration, while expressing a desire to support legal immigration. They debate whether there should be an assimilation program or limits on immigration, with Benny stating a belief that America is full and expressing support for net-zero immigration, referencing historical precedents like Calvin Coolidge’s 1920s approach to cooling off immigration to prevent national splintering. They reiterate the idea that the Minneapolis Somali community demonstrates a broader “Somali problem.” The conversation closes with a farewell to Penny Johnson and an invitation to continue the discussion on an upcoming podcast.

In 2009, Ilhan Omar allegedly married her biological brother, Ahmed Saeed Almi, so he could legally remain in the US and attend college, according to Abdul Haqim Osman, a member of the Minneapolis Somali community. At the time, Omar was religiously married to Ahmed Hirsi, but there was no Minnesota state record of the marriage. This marriage to her brother would allow him to get legal immigration documents. Osman also provided the name of the Christian minister who married Omar and her brother. The minister reportedly does not want to be involved or interviewed about Omar. When Representative Omar was first confronted with the allegation, she called it absurd and then went silent, refusing to comment, citing her privacy.

Speaker Omar asks congresswoman Angie Craig to initiate an ethics investigation into Congresswoman Omar, citing 'federal tax fraud, federal immigration fraud, federal student loan fraud, and state violations of perjury, bigamy, kickbacks, and acts of campaign fraud abuse' in Boston, Washington, New York, Chicago, and Florida. He notes Minnesota House ethics rule violations relating to speeches in 2017 and 2018. He states, 'Miss Omar appears to be a serial career criminal and should not have access to our nation's highest secrets and intelligence.' He frames this as seeking 'answers' and mentions a 'sham marriage' with Ahmed Elmi from 2009 to 2017, noting North Dakota State addresses and FAFSA questions. He concludes, 'The endgame here is to find answers,' and, 'If you interview the police, they will tell you that a person's past behavior is the best indicator of their future behavior.' He asserts, 'our national security is at stake.'

Representative Ilhan Omar is accused of treasonous statements made at a Minneapolis event on January 27, 2024. It is claimed she told Somalians that the US government will do what Somalians in the US tell them to do, and that she is in Congress to protect Somalia's interests from inside the US system. These statements are said to violate her oath of office to defend the US Constitution. The resolution calls for Representative Omar to be censured, present herself in the House of Representatives for the pronouncement of censure, and be removed from the Committee on the Budget and the Committee on Education and the Workforce. It is asserted that Representative Omar has revealed herself to be a foreign agent acting on behalf of Somalia.

Thomas, who is involved with Al Shabab, married a 13 or 14-year-old girl named Sudha in Somalia. He gave her family an old cow as a bride price. Sally received phone calls from Somalia after Thomas went out of contact on an Al Shabab operation. Sally believes Sudha was the caller. Sudha called to ask for money, but Sally refused, fearing legal repercussions for supporting terrorism. Sudha mentioned she has family in Sweden. The translator said Sudha's mother does not approve of the marriage, but in Somalia, families may feel forced to accept a proposal from Al Shabab. Sally was unaware of the mother's disapproval.

Now home to the largest Somali population in The US, Minnesota has garnered headlines for a culture some call a 'takeover of Minnesota.' 'During the month of Ramadan, we will be having the call to prayer broadcast.' The refugee act of 1980 signed by president Jimmy Carter remains 'the backbone of US refugee policy' with 'over 3,500,000 refugees resettled nationwide since 1980, including tens of Somalis.' By 2025 there are 'at least 76 mosques throughout the state.' 'Ilhan Omar, the first Muslim Somali politician to congress,' and 'Omar Fateh' say they're changing Minnesota politics. Palmer's Bar, 'one hundred and nineteen years,' is closing; the mosque next door will become a community center. In Saint Paul, 'the Al Hasan Islamic Center' signed letters supporting a Somali immigrant who abducted a 12-year-old; 'the judge gave him eight years in jail.'

A state representative is calling for an ethics investigation into Congresswoman Ilhan Omar, requesting Congresswoman Angie Craig to initiate it. The representative alleges Omar has committed federal tax fraud, immigration fraud, student loan fraud, and state violations of perjury, bigamy, kickbacks, and campaign finance abuse. These violations allegedly occurred in multiple states. The representative claims Omar was found guilty of violating Minnesota House ethics rules regarding colleges for speeches given while she had partial control of their budgets. He believes Omar is a "serial career criminal" who shouldn't have access to national secrets. When questioned about why he was asking Congresswoman Craig, he stated she is his representative. He also addressed questions about why he hadn't approached a Republican congressperson, stating it wasn't about party affiliation but about getting the information before the House. He anticipates more information will emerge and believes the "endgame" is to find answers about Omar's marriage to Ahmed Elmi. He suggests Omar should request an ethics investigation of herself to clear her name. He also claims the marriage may have been a sham to help Elmi immigrate. He alleges Omar committed perjury when seeking a divorce. He believes national security is at stake, arguing past behavior predicts future behavior.

Savannah Hernandez reports from in front of the Al Hasan Islamic Center in Saint Paul, Minnesota. The center has drawn national attention after issuing a letter of community support for a Somali immigrant who sexually assaulted a 12-year-old girl. In 2024, the perpetrator was charged after abducting a 12-year-old from her backyard, forcing her into his vehicle, and sexually assaulting her. He has since been convicted of first-degree criminal sexual assault. Following his conviction, his family members sent letters to the judge urging consideration of his character in sentencing. One letter came from the Al Hasan Islamic Center and was signed by their executive director. The letter stated that the perpetrator “had to face cultural differences and the challenges of taking on a new culture.” The center framed him as a family-oriented man who “sends his money oftentimes back to his family members in Somalia.” The judge imposed the lightest sentencing possible: eight years in jail for this crime. He was originally sentenced to twelve years, but four years will be served out of jail and on probation. The article notes that the perpetrator has been in the United States since 2006, meaning he has been in the country for nineteen years. He was born in Somalia. The report emphasizes the discussion of cultural differences in relation to this case, as it relates to the Somali community in Minnesota. Savannah Hernandez uses this incident to illustrate ongoing stories and cultural impact surrounding the Somali community in Minnesota, as it relates to the mosque and its public stance.

Ilhan Omar, a congresswoman from Minnesota, is criticized for allegedly wanting to bring 1,000 jihadists sympathizers from Gaza to the state. The speaker questions how she was elected and mentions her attendance at a speech during their own campaign.

Let's talk about Ilhan Omar's people in Minnesota. They brought about seventy, eighty thousand of these Somali Muslims in. They grouped them in one spot, and then they used that to elect her to congress. That's how she got there. Now one thing you need to remember, according to the stats is over 90% of these people have availed themselves of some sort of social service welfare program. Now, the authorities in Minnesota have a huge investigation because these people have come up with all kind of different scams—feeding children, housing, fake marriages, fake divorces, you name it. They came here and they started scamming the system like nobody would believe. And these are her people all grouped together in Minnesota. We're gonna talk about Dearborn, Michigan soon too.

A Minnesota state representative is requesting Congresswoman Angie Craig initiate an ethics investigation into Congresswoman Ilhan Omar, alleging federal tax, immigration, and student loan fraud, as well as state violations of perjury, bigamy, kickbacks, and campaign finance abuse. These alleged violations occurred in multiple states, including Minnesota, and also concern potential violations of Minnesota House ethics rules related to college speeches. The representative claims Omar appears to be a "serial career criminal" who should not have access to national secrets. He presented documents to support his claims and referenced social media posts that were allegedly removed after being published by David Steinberg. He believes the "endgame" is to find answers about Omar's marriage to Ahmed Elmi, which he alleges was a sham. He suggests Omar should request an ethics investigation of herself to clear her name, as her predecessor did. He also claims that probable cause exists for tax fraud. The representative stated that he has not contacted either Congresswoman Craig or Congresswoman Omar about this. He believes that the media, the US Attorney, and the Campaign Finance Board are remiss in their actions and that "we all need to pursue justice and truth here."

Minneapolis’s Cedar-Riverside neighborhood is described as the 'Somali capital of America' where Minnesota hosts the largest Somali population in the US, estimated at 80,000–100,000. The growth traces to the 1980 Refugee Act, TPS extensions, and the DV lottery, with resettlement by Lutheran Social Services and Catholic Charities. By 2025 Minnesota had at least 76 mosques, and Somali influence is visible in politics (Ilhan Omar, the 'first Muslim Somali politician to congress,' and Omar Fateh), culture (Somali Culture Day in 2019), and daily life (the call to prayer broadcasts). Street interviews describe warmth and tension—neighbors noting driving problems, bar closures (Palmer’s Bar) and a mosque converting a nearby venue into a community center. A national headline case at Al Hasan Islamic Center involved a 12-year-old assault; the judge gave eight years with four years probation. Critics cite handouts and assimilation debates; supporters cite layered neighborhood histories and ongoing integration.

A state representative is asking Congresswoman Angie Craig to initiate an ethics investigation into Congresswoman Omar, alleging federal tax, immigration, and student loan fraud, as well as state violations of perjury, bigamy, kickbacks, and campaign finance abuse. These violations allegedly occurred in multiple states. The representative also cites violations of Minnesota House ethics rules regarding colleges. He claims Omar appears to be a "serial career criminal" who shouldn't have access to national secrets. When questioned about why he's asking Craig, a Democrat, instead of a Republican, he stated that Craig is his representative and he is pursuing justice. He believes answers are needed regarding Omar's marriage to Ahmed Elmi from 2009-2017, which he calls a "sham marriage." He suggests Omar should request an ethics investigation herself to clear her name. He also alleges Omar committed perjury in 2017 when seeking a divorce. He believes national security is at stake due to Omar's alleged past behavior.

Thomas, who is involved with Al Shabab, married a 13 or 14-year-old girl named Sudha in Somalia. He gave her family an old cow as a bride price. Sally received phone calls from Somalia after Thomas went out of contact on an Al Shabab operation. Sally believes Sudha was the caller. Sudha called to ask for money, but Sally refused, fearing legal repercussions for supporting terrorism. Sudha mentioned she has family in Sweden. The translator explained that Sudha's mother disapproves of the marriage but, in Somalia, families often feel obligated to accept proposals from Al Shabab members.

A reporter asked if Republicans would investigate Congresswoman Ilhan Omar for allegedly marrying her brother and committing immigration fraud. The reporter stated this claim was previously reported and confirmed. They inquired whether Omar's citizenship could be revoked if she is found to have committed immigration and student loan fraud. The respondent stated they could not discuss any investigation. The reporter then stated that many people wonder why there are "jihadists" and "anti-American immigrants" serving in Congress who are perpetuating open borders. The respondent stated that they are aware of the situation, but cannot discuss it.

The discussion centers on Ilhan Omar and questions about a sudden surge in wealth. The hosts reference Omar claiming the United States of America, and report new information from Forbes that the state of Delaware and Washington DC canceled the registrations for Omar’s husband’s investment firm, Rose Lake, for failing to pay back taxes—over $400,000 in Delaware and nearly $1,800 in DC. Omar has claimed the couple’s wealth rose to $25,000,000 from less than a grand a year prior. The hosts note the firm is supposedly worth an estimated $75,000,000 to $150,000,000, calling the situation “weird.” Steve Forbes responds, calling the situation “crooked” and arguing for an investigation into Omar and her husband’s finances, noting that the Biden administration had previously examined their finances but the inquiry “went nowhere.” Forbes questions how the couple, who reportedly had under a thousand dollars in net worth and little for Omar and her husband, could become multimillionaires. He raises the possibility of money laundering and asks where the winery in California fits in, suggesting the wine venture has a “sketchy background.” Omar is described as blaming others and engaging in race-baiting, though no public evidence of a winery exists. The winery is said to be valued at $5,000,000. Forbes notes Omar’s husband’s investment firm appears to have a DC headquarters sharing office space at a WeWork, with no visible track record of asset management, M&A deals, clients, or investment deals, and no SEC registrations for investment advisers. Forbes emphasizes the lack of verifiable activity and questions what is going on with the winery and the investment firm. The discussion suggests the investment firm may be largely a name or shell, and the WeWork office is highlighted as a potential red flag. The hosts anticipate that the $30,000,000 figure could originate from illegal sources, predicting that the wealth increase will be traced to illicit origins. The segment concludes with Steve Forbes assisting in breaking down the story, with plans to stay on the coverage.

In the early 90s, George H.W. Bush settled Somalians in Minnesota, and their population has grown to 100,000, concentrated in one city. They allegedly receive priority for Section 8 housing and government assistance. Loudspeakers broadcast calls to prayer multiple times daily. Minneapolis St. Paul hired a Somalian police officer, Mohammed Noor. Justine Damon, an Australian American woman, called police to report an assault. When she approached the police car, Noor, in the passenger seat, shot and killed her. He refused to speak about the incident and was sentenced to twelve years for third-degree murder. Noor was released early. The stated reason was a noise that spooked him, according to his partner. He is now free. The speaker questions if Noor's Somalian background influenced the situation and if the high Somalian population in Minnesota impacts elections, particularly Ilhan Omar's reelection. The speaker promises more Minnesota corruption stories.

The speaker analyzes Ilhan Omar’s official financial disclosures and advances a narrative that Est Crew LLC (referred to as Est Crew Winery), a Santa Rosa, California winery linked to Omar, is fraudulent and morally problematic. They first cite the 2023 congressional financial disclosure showing Est Crew Winery valued at $15,000, with Omar hardly earning income from it. They then cite the 2024 filing showing the same company valued at $5,000,000, claiming Omar’s income is now sufficient to pay rent and labeling the growth as “incredible” and suspect. The speaker then examines the winery’s public presence to support the claim it is real. They reference Estrero’s social media pages (Facebook and Instagram) with last posts in 2023 and no presence on X (Twitter), suggesting a lack of ongoing activity. They check the official website, which describes Est Crew as “winemakers and memory curators” with a brand portfolio led by unnamed individuals, but note there are no apparent wine sales or activities listed. They visit Google Street View of the winery location and report an empty parking lot, arguing the business is not operational or properly named. Attempts to contact the winery are described: calling the phone number on the webpage results in a busy signal after multiple tries. The speaker then asserts the winery is fake, citing a New York Post claim that Ilhan Omar’s wealth “skyrocketed” from being “one of the poorest members of Congress” to “one of the richest,” with amounts suggesting the winery is fraudulent. They state a lawsuit accusing Tim Minette, Omar’s “third husband, no relation,” of swindling investors and defrauding them, with a connection noted to Keith Ellison (Minnesota’s attorney general who “used to work for him”) and a suggestion that Ellison has not investigated Somali fraud. The speaker concludes that the winery “is not worth $5,000,000” and “doesn’t even exist,” describing the company as fraudulent and demanding investigation. They label the entire enterprise as a lie, though state that it is not a lie for Omar in terms of her financial disclosures, which allegedly list substantial income and net worth tied to this fake winery. The closing phrase refers to the claim that the winery is “the devil’s lie.”

Republican operatives in Minnesota spent hundreds of thousands of dollars investigating Ilhan Omar, alleging she married her brother to help him immigrate illegally. DNA evidence reportedly confirmed this, obtained from a cigarette butt and drinking straw. However, before the information was publicly released, the FBI arrested Anton Lazzaro, involved in the investigation, on unrelated charges. The FBI reportedly told Lazzaro the statute of limitations had expired on marriage fraud, though not on immigration fraud. While the story was initially suppressed, it was later reported. The journalist noted the public might find Omar smoking more shocking than the alleged incestuous marriage. Omar has not been indicted.

A state representative is requesting Congresswoman Angie Craig to initiate an ethics investigation into Congresswoman Omar, alleging federal tax fraud, immigration fraud, student loan fraud, state violations of perjury, bigamy, kickbacks, and campaign finance abuse in multiple states. The representative claims Omar is a "serial career criminal" who shouldn't have access to national secrets. The representative is acting as both a constituent and a state representative, stating Craig is the appropriate person to bring forward the investigation. He believes the national media is starting to investigate, particularly regarding a "sham marriage" between Omar and Ahmed Elmi from 2009-2017. He suggests Omar should request an ethics investigation of herself to clear her name, as her predecessor did. He alleges probable cause for tax fraud exists and questions whether the marriage helped Elmi immigrate illegally or receive special preference. He also claims Omar testified under perjury during her divorce proceedings by stating she hadn't seen Elmi since 2011, despite evidence placing him near her residence in 2012. The representative believes Omar's past behavior indicates her future behavior, thus putting national security at stake.

It's been known for a while that Ilhan Omar allegedly married her brother to help him enter the country illegally, which violates immigration law. The FBI reportedly had evidence confirming this but took no action. Republican operatives in Minnesota spent significant money on private investigators to determine if Ilhan Omar was a DNA match to her second husband. They collected DNA samples from different continents and found a conclusive match, indicating that her second husband was a sibling. The FBI arrested one of the involved individuals, Anton Lazaro, on separate charges right before the information was to be released. The FBI was allegedly uninterested in the information and said the statute of limitations had expired. The story was reported after viewing the website before it was taken down.

“I’m asking congresswoman Craig to initiate an ethics investigation into congresswoman Omar because of questions about federal tax fraud, federal immigration fraud, federal student loan fraud, and state violations of perjury, bigamy, kickbacks, and acts of campaign fraud abuse in Boston, Washington, New York, Chicago, and Florida.” “Miss Omar appears to be a serial career criminal and should not have access to our nation's highest secrets and intelligence.” “The endgame is to find answers.” “The endgame is for us to bring about visibility to this in a way that the people of Minnesota and the people of America can find answers to what appears to be a sham marriage that representative Omar has with or had with Omar Ahmed Elmi from 2009 to 02/2017.”

Ilhan Omar faced allegations that she married her biological brother, Ahmed Saeed Almi, in 2009 to help him gain legal status in the U.S. This claim resurfaced after a wedding certificate was discovered, prompting Omar to remain silent on the matter, stating she does not discuss her personal life. Abduhakim Osman, a notable figure in the Minneapolis Somali community, confirmed to the Daily Mail that Omar's marriage to her brother was intended for immigration purposes. At the time, Omar was in a religious marriage with Ahmed Hersey, which lacked a state record. Osman also mentioned the name of the Christian minister who officiated the marriage, although the minister has declined to comment on the situation.
