Stu and Dave mock Ilhan Omar’s ‘I will not be silenced’ response to federal raid
Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-Minn.) is crying political persecution after federal agents reportedly searched her Washington, D.C., home — accusing the Trump administration of weaponizing federal law enforcement against its political opponents.
“I’m ok. Make no mistake: this is an attempt to target political enemies and weaponize federal law enforcement. For ten years, Trump has targeted me with baseless lies and smear campaigns. This is just the latest escalation in his campaign of political intimidation. I will not be silenced,” Omar said in a post on X.
“She will not be silenced,” BlazeTV host Stu Burguiere mocks.
“No, she will not be when it matters,” co-host Dave Landau says, joking, “We all leared something new.”
“The most likely scenario multiple people claimed is that immigration cops are looking into a long-floated rumor that Omar is actually one year older than she has long claimed to be. A tiny detail that may put her citizenship in jeopardy,” Stu explains, reading from a New York Post article.
“The issue here is that if she came as a child, she would be automatically a citizen because she came at least as far as this particular part of the law goes. If she’s 18, she would have a different set of restrictions and actually could be deported, which of course is definitely what Donald Trump wants to do,” Stu explains.
“Now he’s not necessarily saying that he had anything to do with this. In fact, he’s saying he didn’t,” he adds, playing a clip of Trump commenting on the situation.
“Well, I understand they’re looking at her very carefully, I’ve always found her to be totally crooked personally, but that has nothing to do with me. I think she’s a terrible person, just a complainer. She comes from a country that is a non-country. And then she comes over here and she complains about our Constitution,” Trump said.
“I think she’s a terrible person but that’s really up to the DOJ,” he added.
New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani does not share Trump’s sentiment.
“This morning, the federal government turned the full force of the Department of Homeland Security against a sitting member of Congress for the offense of disagreeing with the White House. The path to citizenship should not be weaponized against anyone, including Rep. Ilhan Omar, a naturalized American who swore an oath to this country — the same one that I took,” Mamdani wrote in a post on X.
“The promise of citizenship should not be contingent on someone agreeing with the federal government,” he added.
“Another thing that shouldn’t happen is the New York City mayor commenting on an issue, a local Minnesota issue about a congresswoman who’s from Minnesota,” Su says.
“It’s got nothing, literally, nothing to do with Mayor Mamdani other than the fact that they share socialism as their religion and a false god,” he adds.

Dave Landau gives surprising defense of Tom Cruise’s box-office bomb ‘Digger’
“Digger” — the satirical black comedy starring Tom Cruise — was a major box-office flop, grossing just $8 million domestically on opening night despite an estimated $160-$180 million production budget.
Critics complain the movie is unfunny, features over-the-top, abrasive performances, and has a preachy climate message.
Comedian and BlazeTV host Dave Landau, however, disagrees and says he very much “enjoyed” the film.
“I was laughing out loud through most of the movie,” he tells co-host of “Stu and Dave Do America” Stu Burguiere.
Contrary to critic and audience complaints, Dave says Cruise’s character — a wealthy oil tycoon named Digger Rockwell — is “great.”
A common complaint is that the Digger in the film is very different from what people expected based on the marketing of the film, but Dave says to be forthcoming about his character in advertising would have “[ruined] the film.”
“Like if the ‘Sixth Sense’ came out, like ‘he sees dead people.’ ... That would be a bad part of the trailer,” Stu analogizes.
“[Digger] is an oil baron, kind of out of control, gregarious sort of character is how I pictured it from the marketing, which was very limited,” he continues. “My understanding, and tell me if this is true, is that ... half an hour in or so, the whole movie kind of changes.”
Dave confirms that this is true — but unlike critics, he enjoyed this surprise element of the film.
“I don't want to give away too much, but one part is obviously lampooning the right, and one part is obviously lampooning the left,” he tells Stu, equating watching the movie to “wearing your team colors,” but “you're not able to see the jokes being made at the other side.”
The character of President Compson, played by John Goodman, is “definitely Trump-esque,” says Dave, but it’s “not what you think it is.”
“The way that [the movie] twists, I think, is brilliant ... Tom Cruise when he plays these characters is really entertaining,” he says. “Like, I know Tom Cruise is a lunatic and a Scientologist, but my God, he's so good at acting.”
“I think you should see it. I enjoyed it. I laughed so much during it.”
