DOJ Just Announced Ilhan Omar is OUT…

I I I spit out my coffee when I saw

when I saw the Somali the the the voter

ID requirements in Moadishu. You know,

Mogadishu has extremely secure elections

army.

>> Yeah.

>> And I I I couldn't believe that it was

real. So, we looked it up and Yeah.

Turns out you need an actual you need a

passport with a photo ID in order to

vote in Mogadishu. Here here it is.

>> Oh, and not only that, they get the

election results the same day of the

election. That's crazy concept. Somalia,

>> you know, we we don't have that here in

America. I recently uh on behalf of the

Civil Rights Division uh partnered with

the Solicitor General's office down the

hallway here to file an amicus brief in

the Watson case uh in the Supreme Court

which is seeking to enshrine the crazy

concept that you should stop counting

the the votes on election day and not

keep having them trickle in by mail for

a week or even longer after that. We

need to have finality and certainty in

our elections. And if you're too

disorganized to get your vote in on

time, I'm not sure that your vote should

count. And that's in any event, we have

election day in this country, not

election month. So, we need to stop

that, too.

>> Speaking very quickly of Moadishu and

Somalia, you must have had like some you

you know, and you you've often like

talked about uh immigrants and you know

what it takes to actually like

be a functional member of our

civilization and Western civilization.

You're so versed on that. You love the

Constitution. It's been like the core of

your entire legal career. What was your

reaction to watching Ilhan Omar sort of

smart off, scream, interrupt the

president? We counted three or four

times that she like yelled down the

president at the State of the Union.

>> Look, for an immigrant, u I'm an

immigrant and was I remember back to how

proud my family was when my mom, my

brother, and I all took our oath. I was

a child. I was, you know, I think 12

years old. My brother was even younger.

you know, he didn't even have one of his

teeth, I think, in his front and his we

were flying our little flags is a proud

proud day for my family. And it really

makes my blood boil to see any immigrant

who's been given this most precious

privilege in the world, American

citizenship, spit on it, uh, show her

contempt for it, show her contempt for

it in the people's um, legislature

there. Uh, it's first of all,

embarrassing for the people who elected

her that they have no sense. But uh to

to see her contempt and and right next

to her, Rashida TB, you know, another

person with an immigrant background, um

look, Elon Omar has some legal issues

regarding her citizenship. I'll just

leave it at that. Um I think that

they've been well covered in the press,

but uh it's shameful and I I am so happy

to be an American and you know, people

need to get out there and touch some

grass in other countries and see what

they go through to really appreciate how

great we have it in this country. But

freedom isn't free and every generation

needs to fight for it. And if we're

complacent about it, we will lose it.

And history has shown us that uh that

civilizations that get fat and happy

usually lose it. And we're so fat and

happy that we're handing out billions of

dollars to scamsters in these blue

states and not caring about it at the

same time that California has the lowest

reading standards in the United States

and has uh broken roads and has an open

border and has, you know, there's sewage

issues and you name it. It's it's

insane. And so we cannot take this

beautiful country for granted. I will

not as long as I draw breath always be

very proud to be an American and fight

for what America means and why my

parents brought me here to this country.

>> Yeah, that was an interesting answer.

Could you like elucidate at all for us

on these citizenship issues for Ilhan

Omar? Will we ever see anything on that?

I will I will tell you that I was very

>> anything but I think I think it's been

well covered and I covered it certainly

myself before I joined the DOJ that yeah

you know certainly it's it's it's a it's

a truism of immigration law that if you

commit fraud in the course of obtaining

your citizenship if you lie about being

a uh the oh that you weren't a Nazi um

you know guard at a concentration camp

you can be denaturalized if you lie

about um your marriage status that on

which your citizenship depends or or

your familial status or what have you.

If you if you fake any of those

documents or you lie, that's a grounds

for dennaturalization. And so I think

it's been, you know, credibly alleged

that there are, you know, serious

questions about the circumstances of the

paperwork around that naturalization.

I'll just leave it at that. I'm not

working on that issue. That's not part

of what the civil rights division does.

But I think we need to police that

seriously. It is a precious privilege to

be granted citizenship as a naturalized

citizen in this country and I don't

think it should be taken away lightly

but if it's just a basic concept of law

that if you commit fraud in the course

of obtaining a benefit you know you're

not entitled to it.

>> Yes. Yes. Something that the chat did

want me to ask you about and I I you

know maybe it's civil rights given the

fact that your civil rights are deprived

of you when you die uh is Dr. Fouchy. I

know that he's been referred to the DOJ

by Ran Paul uh for criminal prosecution

for lying under oath. Something that

maybe the Clintons are doing. Hillary

Clinton just started her uh deposition

right now in front of Congress. And um

so like I I just maybe an update. I

don't know if there is one on Dr.

Fouchy, the DOJ, his criminal.

>> It's not the uh section that I handle

and so I really don't have anything to

share with your viewers on that issue. I

do handle criminal matters here at the

civil rights division. They include the

face act. Um the the city's church case

in Minnesota is a is a notorious example

of that. Hate crimes cases, those kinds

of cases, attacks on houses of worship.

These are all uh criminal statutes, the

Clan Act, conspiracy to violate rights.

These are all areas that we handle in

the Civil Rights Division. So I would

leave that to my colleagues in the uh

criminal section.

>> Okay. Uh again, Hillary Clinton and Bill

Clinton up on Capitol Hill. I never

thought I'd see the day. I couldn't

believe it. You know, James Comr, we

were just at the capital and James Comr

was like, "Me neither. I I can't believe

it's actually happening." But it is. I'm

getting photos right now of it h of it

going down. Uh you I mean, this is quite

unprecedented.

What's going to happen here, Army?

>> Look, PE people who were, you know, BFFs

with

shady people um need to be held

accountable for that. I'll just I'll

just leave it at that. I I think that

the I think you've covered it earlier

before I came on. Um you know, some of

the

nasty characters involved in this sorted

saga were close friends of the Clintons

and invited to their daughter's wedding.

And you know, they should answer for

that. I'm sure they uh they are very

skilled politicians, both of them, Bill,

more so than Hillary. and I'm sure

they're going to tap dance their way

around this stuff and try to drag other

people down with it. Um, so I'll just

leave it at that. I think a lot of ink

has been spilled on this issue and we

have a country to save. I'm really

focused on looking forward dismantling

DEI. Um, restoring people's uh gun

rights, making people have confidence in

our elections again or enabling that,

making sure that American citizens are

not discriminated against in employment.

We just reached a settlement this week

in one of those kinds of cases. And

nobody's ever done that kind of work

here, you know, in our department and

the volume and with the zeal that the

team I have here does. And I don't want

to take credit for it myself. I have

dozens and dozens of lawyers who every

day get up and open up their computers

excited about making America fair again

for all Americans. And so we're really

proud of that.

>> I know you have to hop. I just wanted to

uh uh throw just one major

accomplishment, something that's near

and dear to our uh audience on the you

know on the field here as a post from

you on X and you're looking into people

who are hiring only H-1B applicants and

we see this all around the country. This

is of course a massive massive scam that

I think makes Somali daycarees look like

chump change and uh you see it for

everything from key you know people

working at kiosks at a bank teller to

7-Elevens like do we really need to h

like do we really need to hire like

convenience store clerks on H-1B visas

and you say hey this is not legal we're

going to look into this H-1B candidates

only but you see this all over the place

in every sector of society what's going

on here Harvey Well, what's going on

here is, let me just be very blunt about

it. It it it is it is a bipartisan

problem, which is American employers,

not just in the tech field, but I

certainly saw it in the tech field in my

many years practicing law in Silicon

Valley. They want to pay workers as

little as possible because they have a,

you know, they want to make more profit.

That's what it is. You can exploit

foreign workers. They are grateful to be

here. They will work under illegal

working conditions. They will not make a

fuss when you mistreat them. They will

happily bunk tend to an apartment in a,

you know, Sunnyvale squalid squat so

that they can uh take the jobs of

Americans. And I I don't blame them.

They're trying to get a better life for

themselves. I blame the employers who

are violating American law and and and

frankly exploiting people. That's a form

of human trafficking. And on top of

that, giving the finger to the American

worker. Shame on them. And as an

American citizen, I have employed, you

know, dozens and dozens of people and my

law firm and a nonprofit that I founded,

uh, it would never occur to me to post a

discriminatory job at. It's unamerican

to do that. And yet many American

employers do it. We just had a

settlement in a case where the employer

said, "Oh, my bad." It was a recruiter

in Virginia, I think. Um, and they uh

said, "Oh, sorry. AI drafted the job

posting."

My goodness, that's even worse because

those are the biases built into these

models that you want to get the cheap

foreign labor. Um, you want to give

these call center jobs to foreigners.

Look, Congress needs to smarten up, but

guess what? Donors to members in both

parties are those very corporations that

benefit from um exploiting the foreign

workforce. So, we are very serious about

it here at the DOJ. I do rely on the

public. I mean, you say it's all over

the place. Those kinds of ads where it

says H-1B workers only, they're actually

not that common. They use much sleazier

tactics. And I don't want to tip my

hand, but in the coming weeks, you're

going to see some prosecutions and cases

by the DOJ, which will reveal some of

the skanky, shady ways that these

companies make it more difficult for

American citizens to apply for jobs. Um,

and then they post they sometimes they

post these postings on job sites that

are frequented mainly by foreign workers

literally in other countries and

otherwise. They advertise for jobs that

can be remote only. Um, and then they

kind of advertise them in foreign

countries. And you know who's going to

raise their hand for that? Who wouldn't?

uh you know why I don't blame some

person in the Philippines or in India

who wants to have a job and you know

figure out a way to make more money than

they would back home. I do blame the

American uh employer and yes, we have

discrimination against natural national

origin statutes in this country.

Historically, the DOJ has been

prosecuting those visav. Oh, I'm not

going to hire that person because they

have an accent or they're, you know,

Latino or what have you. But American

citizen is a national origin and we are

equally entitled to the protection of

those laws as our foreign workers. And

that is how we're treating it in this

civil rights division of this Department

of Justice under Attorney General Bondi.

>> Incredible.
