BRIAN KILMEADE (HOST): By the way, just look at the RealClear average on approval. You would think by the negative publicity, an 87 to 92% of all news on Trump is negative. Look at Trump at 46.4%, at this point same with Obama and Bush, roughly the same approval rating. I think people like Ilhan Omar and other networks have just been turned off by the country.
BEN DOMENECH (GUEST): I think you're completely right. And when she says things like, you know, Somalia is better than America, you know, look --
KILMEADE: Okay.
DOMENECH: I looked up on Kayak today, the direct one-route ticket from Minneapolis to Mogadishu and it was less than $3,000, so she can afford it on her congressional salary. So, if she wants to go back there, go for it.
KILMEADE: You know it’s interesting, Ben, if you do take a 747 from Minnesota to Somalia, you will be the only one on the plane. So, it will be like – she can probably sit first class and book a coach ticket. So, it’s just these people are so ungrateful for the country.
