Oh wow, I'm so happy to be back. I feel like I haven't been here for weeks with y'all. So this is it. This is the Sarah Carter show and we have so much going on for you today.

First, I'd like to tell you who our guest is going to be. This is so exciting. It's going to be Lacey Johnson and why is he so important because he is going to be the challenger to representative Ilhan Omar. Yes, you heard it. Somebody is willing to take on Ilhan Omar. And this this gentleman is wonderful. I'm going to fill you in on all the details his background. He's a family man. He cares about his community. He loves Minnesota. He

wants to see changes and we want to help him get the word out so that you can decide for yourselves Ilhan Omar or Lacey Johnson folks. And now I want to talk a little bit about Lacey Johnson before we go to him. He's the Republican challenging Ilhan Omar. He's been living in North Minneapolis for 40 years. I first realized this amazing man was out there getting ready to challenge Ilhan Omar when I saw on a Twitter account just by happenst

dance. I was just going through Twitter and I saw this incredible video of this wonderful human being with his wife and his kids in, you know, in Minnesota talking about this, you know, potential challenge against Ilhan Omar. Talking about real values, American values, American values. He has two sons, Darian and Adrian. They live in North Minneapolis. That's been their hometown. He's running against this far.

He's left Ilhan Omar who he believes espouses hate speech. He spoke with the federalist once. Now he's going to come talk to us. I'm very excited to have him on. I want him to tell his story. But before I go there, I want you all to hear this very first clip that I have of Ilhan Omar and what it means to have one her congressional seat. Let's play that.

It really hasn't been a moment since this journey began where I don't really pinch myself and think how did I get here is this really happening.

I pinch myself every time I see her talk. How did this really happen? I mean, I don't understand. There are a lot of things that she says that are deeply concerning to me. And I'm going to talk to Lacey Johnson about them. A lot of things.

Remember that it's all about the Benjamin's. She's very anti-Semitic at least in her behavior. How she operates what she espouses what comes out of her mouth hate speech against Israel against Jews.

It's all about the Benjamin's the $100 bills and reference and reference to Israel and reference to people that support Israel.

Come on. I have to pinch myself every time that happens. She's right about one thing though. America is an amazingly beautiful fragile and strong nation that is made up of immigrants every single one of us.

Less than eight of Americans that have been here since the beginning.

But we are all immigrants and we all have a story to tell. And she should be grateful and thankful because this country gave her so much and took her away from Somalia.

It was in a people it still is her country. Her former place of birth. This is now her nation. So yes, she should be proud.

My mother was an immigrant. My mother was an immigrant and was so proud to be an American. She came from Cuba. I was her first born in the United States.

So putting all of that aside. I'm going to bring on Lacey Johnson. I want him to talk about what it means to be an American. What it means for him to run against Ilhan Omar.

And what it means for us as citizens. When we challenge someone remember her rhetoric is strong. Her rhetoric is strong. She has support people.

She has support out there. So it's going to take someone as strong or stronger than she is to deliver a message that says no more. We're not going to allow you to espouse hate.

This isn't about you being from Somalia. This is about what comes out of your mouth. This is about what you say.

America is a welcoming place. Whether you're Muslim, whether you're from China, whether you're from Cuba, whether you're from anywhere in the world. This is a country a nation built on immigrants built by immigrants.

Whether you're from Africa. But there's a line to and we know what that is. And when you espouse hate against your own nation, the nation that opened up its arms to you, there is a problem.

So I have Lacey Johnson on the line with me right now folks. He he is challenging Ilhan Omar. He is incredible. I know I went through it over and over and over again. I want I want Mr Johnson to talk in his own words about why he decided to challenge Ilhan and the the future that he sees for Minneapolis for his district and for his state.

I Lacey it's so great to have you on. Thank you very much.
