Transcript

00:00Starting this morning with Squad Congresswoman Ilhan Omar, who is now exchanging rhetorical

00:05fire with the Trump administration. The left-leaning lawmaker compared President Trump's

00:09aid and hawkish immigration plan architect Stephen Miller to the Nazis on Sunday. Omar

00:15was asked about the administration's reaction to the billion-dollar Minnesota fraud case,

00:19which is focused largely on the Somali community in her district. She noted that she was among

00:24the first to alert then-Secretary of Agriculture Tom Vilsack to the possible scheme way back

00:29in 2022 and supported the prosecution of those involved. But then the conversation expanded to

00:35immigrant communities more broadly and Miller's recent ex-post that said in part, quote,

00:40no magic transformation occurs when failed states cross borders. At scale, migrants and their

00:46descendants recreate the conditions and terrors of their broken homelands. Here's Omar's reaction to

00:52that on CBS's Face the Nation Sunday. When I think about Stephen Miller and his white supremacist

00:59rhetoric, it reminds me, yes, it reminds me of the way the Nazis described Jewish people

01:06in Germany. Miller, by the way, is Jewish. Meanwhile, another thread of this fraud scheme story.

01:13Dr. Mehmet Oz, who currently serves as the administrator of the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid

01:18Services, has said that Minnesota could lose Medicaid funding if they don't get their house in order.

01:23He posted to social media in part, quote, everyone from Governor Tim Walz on down needs to be

01:29investigated because they've been asleep at the wheel. If we're unsatisfied with the state's plans

01:34or cooperation, we'll stop paying the federal share of these programs. More than 62,000 children have

01:41been rescued by the Trump administration and saved from things like sex trafficking and forced labor.

01:46This is the claim being made by Border Czar Tom Homan. Here he is on Fox and Friends Sunday.

01:51Over half a million children were smuggled into this country or Joe Biden.

01:56They released them to other sponsors. They lost track of 300,000. Over 62,000 children found by the

02:03Trump administration. Children that weren't even being looked for in the Biden administration.

02:09Critics of the administration say that 300,000 figure there comes from a Homeland Security report

02:14last year that says 291,000 migrant children were allowed into the country without being given notices

02:21to appear in court and that there was no way to track them, not that they were all lost and

02:26trafficked. The Afghani National, accused of shooting two National Guard members in Washington, D.C.,

02:32killing one, had ties to a fellow countryman that I also told you about recently.

02:37Alleged Guard shooter, Ramanala Lackanwal, worked supporting U.S. troops at a base near Kandahar,

02:43and it turns out so did Mohamed Dawood Al-Aqazai. That name might sound familiar because he was just

02:50nabbed in Texas last week after posting a plan to blow up Americans with his vehicle and putting it

02:56on social media. Both men overlapped for years during their time working for the U.S. The Post was

03:02able to speak with a former Afghan army chief of staff who said that Al-Aqazai was in a position in

03:07Afghanistan that would have given him access to attack U.S. troops, suggesting that he may have

03:13been radicalized after coming to the states. And he added that Al-Aqazai, quote, needs more

03:18investigation, even more than Lackanwal. Now, Congressman Jeff Van Drew of New Jersey agreed,

03:24saying, quote, there is a clear responsibility to investigate whether these individuals shared any

03:29connections and to take every step to prevent another threat from slipping through the cracks.
