  Speaker 2: We have a brand new listener to the show, and
• 0:20
  Speaker 2: since we are on video, I just thought i'd let
• 0:22
  Speaker 2: everybody know that we have a brand new listener. Welcome
• 0:26
  Speaker 2: to the family, the Verdict family. That is my friends Bertie,
• 0:30
  Speaker 2: the new puppy. She has been sitting up here quiet
• 0:33
  Speaker 2: for an hour as we've been getting ready, but I
• 0:35
  Speaker 2: wanted everybody can say hi. There we go, say hi
• 0:37
  Speaker 2: to everybody. That's Bertie for you.
• 0:40
  Speaker 3: Okay, so Bertie? Who named Bertie? What's Bertie short for
• 0:45
  Speaker 3: so Bertie?
• 0:45
  Speaker 2: You know my family's the boys are a bunch of golfers,
• 0:48
  Speaker 2: and so Bertie was the chosen Georgie. Georgie was like,
• 0:54
  Speaker 2: can we name her Bertie? And it just stuck and
• 0:56
  Speaker 2: that's the end of it. So there you go. We
• 0:57
  Speaker 2: got a new listener, Bertie. And you should watch the
• 0:59
  Speaker 2: video of because Birdie's are a lot cuterer than I am,
• 1:01
  Speaker 2: that's for.
• 1:02
  Speaker 3: Sure, all right. How surprised were the boys?
• 1:05
  Speaker 2: They freaked out Sinater, they were so excited. So he
• 1:08
  Speaker 2: woke up. The boys had been asked, He asked Santa,
• 1:11
  Speaker 2: and so George woke up and we're doing presents and
• 1:14
  Speaker 2: anted to throw them off. Put a stuffy of a
• 1:18
  Speaker 2: dog in their stockings so that they thought, like, you
• 1:21
  Speaker 2: got a dog.
• 1:22
  Speaker 1: Like you asked for a dog, you got a dog.
• 1:23
  Speaker 2: And George just started walking around the house looking under
• 1:27
  Speaker 2: things trying to find a dog. And then my mother
• 1:29
  Speaker 2: in law ended up bringing the dog over in a
• 1:31
  Speaker 2: box and we delivered it and they freaked out.
• 1:33
  Speaker 3: It was pretty old, so it was the bucks wrapped
• 1:35
  Speaker 3: like how was the reveal?
• 1:37
  Speaker 2: So that they had a big red bow and they
• 1:39
  Speaker 2: went on a scavenger hunt that we had done and
• 1:42
  Speaker 2: put different envelopes, and the last envelope brought them back
• 1:45
  Speaker 2: to where the tree was, so we snuck her in
• 1:47
  Speaker 2: the back door, had her in a box the big
• 1:49
  Speaker 2: bow on top, and then they all came running in
• 1:51
  Speaker 2: the room and then they got the box and opened
• 1:53
  Speaker 2: it and the dog was there.
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: So we did it right. It was all caught on video.
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: It was really really fun.
• 1:57
  Speaker 3: Well, Merry Christmas, and that is awesome. There's nothing better
• 2:02
  Speaker 3: than a new puppy at Christmas. And I hope everyone
• 2:04
  Speaker 3: at home had a fantastic Christmas and your New Year's
• 2:10
  Speaker 3: I hope that everyone is ready for an incredible blessed
• 2:14
  Speaker 3: twenty twenty six. Looking forward into what I hope will
• 2:18
  Speaker 3: be a fantastic New Year twenty twenty five, A lot
• 2:21
  Speaker 3: of good has been accomplished in twenty twenty five. We've
• 2:24
  Speaker 3: seen the Trump administration moving at laser speed, a thousand
• 2:29
  Speaker 3: different on a thousand different fronts, all at once. In Congress,
• 2:33
  Speaker 3: the legislation, we've had conservative victories. In fact, if you
• 2:37
  Speaker 3: listened to an earlier podcast, we went through the major
• 2:39
  Speaker 3: conservative victories this year. It's breathtaking everything that's been accomplished.
• 2:43
  Speaker 3: And so as we're wrapping up the year and starting
• 2:46
  Speaker 3: a new one, it's a good time to reflect on
• 2:47
  Speaker 3: all that.
• 2:48
  Speaker 2: And Centera, I guess we should really start with these
• 2:51
  Speaker 2: shocking news coming out of Minnesota.
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: Everyone's talking about it.
• 2:54
  Speaker 2: We've talked about on the podcast this week, and if
• 2:56
  Speaker 2: you're listening on radio, go back and you can listen
• 2:58
  Speaker 2: to those shows wherever you get your podcast. But what
• 3:01
  Speaker 2: was shocking was how fast the numbers grew and the
• 3:05
  Speaker 2: size of this fraud. Early on, people were saying, it's
• 3:08
  Speaker 2: a billion dollar fraud that is now exploited. In nine
• 3:11
  Speaker 2: plus billion, they expect to find even more. The FBI
• 3:14
  Speaker 2: director Cash Bertel has said they believe it's the tip
• 3:16
  Speaker 2: of a very large iceberg, and we're seeing other fraud
• 3:20
  Speaker 2: schemes are being exposed in other states as well as
• 3:23
  Speaker 2: we speak.
• 3:24
  Speaker 3: Yeah. Look, I got to say, as scandals go, this
• 3:26
  Speaker 3: is one that should really piss you off. It is
• 3:30
  Speaker 3: outrageous on so many different levels. If you look at
• 3:34
  Speaker 3: what's been been uncovered in Minnesota in the last several years,
• 3:37
  Speaker 3: Minnesota's total medicaid budget was about eighteen billion dollars. The
• 3:42
  Speaker 3: Department of Justice is reporting that more than half of
• 3:44
  Speaker 3: that more than nine billion, may well be fraudulent. People
• 3:48
  Speaker 3: are being prosecuted. And then we covered the most recent podcast.
• 3:52
  Speaker 3: An independent YouTuber, a twenty three year old guy named
• 3:55
  Speaker 3: Nick Shirley, went and started going down the list of
• 3:59
  Speaker 3: daycare centers that were receiving millions and millions of dollars
• 4:03
  Speaker 3: from the Minnesota taxpayers, and he started showing up to
• 4:05
  Speaker 3: the daycare centers and he videoed the whole thing, and
• 4:08
  Speaker 3: in our last pod, we went through that video in detail.
• 4:11
  Speaker 3: If you haven't watched that video, it's had now over
• 4:14
  Speaker 3: one hundred million views, it has gone viral. And he
• 4:17
  Speaker 3: simply would knock on the doors. In many of the
• 4:19
  Speaker 3: instances the doors were locked, there was no one there.
• 4:22
  Speaker 3: Virtually everyone he attended the doors were blacked out, the
• 4:25
  Speaker 3: windows were blacked out, you couldn't see. And the consistent
• 4:28
  Speaker 3: pattern at daycare after daycare after daycare was no kids.
• 4:32
  Speaker 3: There were no kids. He kept trying to enroll a child.
• 4:36
  Speaker 3: They're like, no, no, no, no, we can't do that. We
• 4:37
  Speaker 3: don't do that. And the pattern we've seen this this
• 4:41
  Speaker 3: is overwhelmingly Somali's immigrants from Somalia who are engaged in
• 4:48
  Speaker 3: this massive fraud. And you see this group of Somalis
• 4:53
  Speaker 3: surrounding Nick Shorter and yelling at him and chasing him
• 4:59
  Speaker 3: through the neighborho because they're very upset that their fraud
• 5:02
  Speaker 3: has been uncovered. We covered on on Verdict early on
• 5:06
  Speaker 3: that this fraud resulted in the single largest funder of
• 5:13
  Speaker 3: Al Shabab, which is a radical Islamic terror group in
• 5:16
  Speaker 3: Somalia is the Minnesota taxpayers. That's how big this fraud is.
• 5:21
  Speaker 3: And and so we want to break down on today's
• 5:24
  Speaker 3: podcast multiple pieces of it. Number one, what went on?
• 5:27
  Speaker 3: Number two, what are the consequences? Who is going to
• 5:29
  Speaker 3: be fired? And even more importantly, who's who is going
• 5:33
  Speaker 3: to be put in jail? Because there needs to be
• 5:35
  Speaker 3: real accountability. And number three who benefited? Why was this
• 5:40
  Speaker 3: allowed to happen? All of those are questions. And number
• 5:43
  Speaker 3: four why did did the corporate media cover it up?
• 5:47
  Speaker 3: Ignore it? They have no interest whatsoever in it. They
• 5:53
  Speaker 3: will track down everything they can about Donald Trump, but
• 5:57
  Speaker 3: actually Democrats and Somali immigrants stealing billions of dollars from
• 6:02
  Speaker 3: the taxpayers, zero interests in the corporate media and covering
• 6:06
  Speaker 3: that at all.
• 6:07
  Speaker 2: You know, the Democrats by the way, on their Hills
• 6:09
  Speaker 2: Center because they've gone back to their playbook, which they
• 6:11
  Speaker 2: always go back to when they're challenged with facts, and
• 6:14
  Speaker 2: that is the name call. And we saw this happen
• 6:16
  Speaker 2: on mainstream media. We saw this happen on MS now
• 6:20
  Speaker 2: where they're now saying and on CNN, how dare you
• 6:24
  Speaker 2: demonize a smalley community that is racist? You cannot ask
• 6:28
  Speaker 2: these questions of a community like this because it's clearly
• 6:31
  Speaker 2: racist in his tone. Here is how ms Now described
• 6:34
  Speaker 2: it on TV, saying it's just unfair and the Republicans
• 6:37
  Speaker 2: are just evil and mean spirited.
• 6:39
  Speaker 1: Take a listen to this.
• 6:41
  Speaker 4: The question is, you know, why is this a priority?
• 6:44
  Speaker 4: In a different kind of way, the politicization of the
• 6:48
  Speaker 4: DOJ and the FBI is undeniable, So whether they are
• 6:52
  Speaker 4: reliable narrators is the big question. And this is what
• 6:56
  Speaker 4: happens when you weaponize and politicize federally agencies that are
• 7:00
  Speaker 4: not meant to be you know, politicized. And I think
• 7:04
  Speaker 4: the American people are right to ask the question, well,
• 7:07
  Speaker 4: can we trust you? And that's a sad thing to
• 7:10
  Speaker 4: say as an American. Let's recall too that there's also
• 7:14
  Speaker 4: other scandals in other states, for example, the Mississippi welfare scandal,
• 7:18
  Speaker 4: and this is not unique to politics. Americans know that.
• 7:22
  Speaker 4: But of course, the other factor here is that because
• 7:26
  Speaker 4: it looks like the Somali population in Minnesota, the Somali
• 7:30
  Speaker 4: immigrant population may have been at some involved in some way,
• 7:35
  Speaker 4: those people are being scapegoaded, and that community is being
• 7:39
  Speaker 4: scapegoaded in a way that certainly serves the far right,
• 7:42
  Speaker 4: and so that's also something to keep an eye on.
• 7:45
  Speaker 4: And that's inappropriate.
• 7:46
  Speaker 5: Absolutely.
• 7:48
  Speaker 2: I love that she says it's inappropriate that the semi
• 7:51
  Speaker 2: communitias she describes it might be involved in some way, like.
• 7:54
  Speaker 3: May have been involved, maybe just kind of like you
• 7:57
  Speaker 3: go down to your list of one after the other
• 7:59
  Speaker 3: after the other, of these fake daycare centers, of these
• 8:02
  Speaker 3: fake autism centers, one after the other after the other.
• 8:05
  Speaker 3: By the way, that was Mara Gay. Mara Gay is
• 8:07
  Speaker 3: on the editorial board of The New York Times. I
• 8:10
  Speaker 3: think it is laughable listening to her talking about people
• 8:13
  Speaker 3: have lost faith in the Department of Justice and that's
• 8:17
  Speaker 3: just sad because they're politicized and bias number one. Her employer,
• 8:21
  Speaker 3: The New York Times and her employer MSNBC or whatever
• 8:24
  Speaker 3: the hell it's called now are so wildly biased that
• 8:27
  Speaker 3: everyone knows it. But understand, this is an individual who
• 8:30
  Speaker 3: a few years ago she said publicly that she was
• 8:34
  Speaker 3: deeply disturbed to see American flags on trucks in Long Island,
• 8:38
  Speaker 3: that the American flag disturbed her. That's how biased she is.
• 8:41
  Speaker 3: And look at the media desperately trying to cover up
• 8:45
  Speaker 3: the thieves, the fraudsters, and the Democrats. That is who
• 8:49
  Speaker 3: they're fighting for.
• 8:50
  Speaker 1: Senata.
• 8:50
  Speaker 2: I want to get back to this argument the left
• 8:52
  Speaker 2: has now gone all in on with you cannot criticize
• 8:56
  Speaker 2: a smiley community because if you do, it's racist. I
• 9:00
  Speaker 2: want people to really understand this daycare fraud is not
• 9:04
  Speaker 2: like a few people involved, and there's been some that
• 9:07
  Speaker 2: I think of mischaracterized as well. It's just maybe one
• 9:10
  Speaker 2: or two bad actors. They open up a daycare, they
• 9:12
  Speaker 2: commit fraud. No, they have others in the Somali community
• 9:16
  Speaker 2: that are allowing their children's names to be used as
• 9:20
  Speaker 2: a participant in the fraud and apparently getting kickbacks. In fact,
• 9:23
  Speaker 2: there are videos they're servicing of people that were bringing
• 9:26
  Speaker 2: their kids and checking them in them leaving so the
• 9:28
  Speaker 2: state would write checks to daycare centers. This has been
• 9:32
  Speaker 2: going on four years. There have been multiple warnings about this,
• 9:37
  Speaker 2: and when there was no accountability, no one was going
• 9:40
  Speaker 2: to jail. It started growing bigger and bigger because basically
• 9:42
  Speaker 2: everybody thought, I think, hey, we can do it, bring
• 9:45
  Speaker 2: everybody in, we'll all get rich off of it. And
• 9:48
  Speaker 2: literally to the tune of billions of dollars they did.
• 9:50
  Speaker 3: It north of nine billion dollars, and this is money
• 9:54
  Speaker 3: that was scammed primarily by Somali fraudsters. They were taking
• 9:57
  Speaker 3: the money, billions of dollars. They were sending much it
• 10:00
  Speaker 3: back to Somali. As I said, millions, if not hundreds
• 10:03
  Speaker 3: of millions of it ended up in the coffers of
• 10:06
  Speaker 3: Al Shabab where they used it for radical Islamic terrorism.
• 10:10
  Speaker 3: You see in Nick Shirley's video you see the Somali community,
• 10:12
  Speaker 3: all like members of them coming up and trying to
• 10:16
  Speaker 3: do wherever they can to cover up the fraud. And
• 10:18
  Speaker 3: you know, we just played a few minutes ago Marrigay
• 10:21
  Speaker 3: on MSNBC and from The New York Times saying, well,
• 10:26
  Speaker 3: some Somalis may have been involved. Let's talk about accountability.
• 10:30
  Speaker 3: Here's what Pam Bondi put out. The Justice Department has
• 10:33
  Speaker 3: been investigating this for months. So far, we have charged
• 10:37
  Speaker 3: ninety eight individuals, eighty five of Somali descent, and more
• 10:43
  Speaker 3: than sixty have been found guilty in court. We have
• 10:46
  Speaker 3: more prosecutions coming. Buckle up, lawmakers, now, now let me say,
• 10:52
  Speaker 3: when you have ninety eight people charged by the Department
• 10:54
  Speaker 3: of Justice, eighty five of them of Somali descent and
• 10:57
  Speaker 3: sixty already found guilty. How the hell can she say
• 11:00
  Speaker 3: some Somalis may have been involved. No, they've been criminally prosecuted,
• 11:04
  Speaker 3: They've been caught. There's no dispute. But when you're a
• 11:07
  Speaker 3: professional liar, which is what the fake news does, they
• 11:12
  Speaker 3: don't deal in the world of facts, and you talk
• 11:14
  Speaker 3: about accountability, Look, doj is coming after them. But I
• 11:19
  Speaker 3: also want to talk about what Cash Pateel put out
• 11:21
  Speaker 3: from the FBI. Cash Patel went to Minnesota in July
• 11:27
  Speaker 3: to oversee the investigations to confirm that progress was being made,
• 11:31
  Speaker 3: and he said the investigation some of the investigations were
• 11:34
  Speaker 3: opened under the Biden administration, but he also said they
• 11:39
  Speaker 3: were buried because they implicate Biden political allies. Between late
• 11:49
  Speaker 3: May twenty twenty five and December twenty twenty five, the
• 11:53
  Speaker 3: FBI had sixteen open investigations into approximately thirty two healthcare
• 11:58
  Speaker 3: and home care providers accused of fraud and and he
• 12:02
  Speaker 3: described a massive joint investigation including HHS Inspector, General, Medicaid
• 12:07
  Speaker 3: Fraud Unit, ir S, Postal Inspectors, Minnesota Attorney General, Minnesota
• 12:11
  Speaker 3: Department of Education. And by the way, it's not just
• 12:16
  Speaker 3: limited to Minnesota. They are expanding nationwide, and we're getting
• 12:19
  Speaker 3: reports online of other states like Washington, states like New York,
• 12:24
  Speaker 3: like California where these same problems have been happening. And
• 12:28
  Speaker 3: what is critical is to follow the money and and
• 12:33
  Speaker 3: to go after that. Uh, to go after them. And
• 12:37
  Speaker 3: I'm very glad we're beginning to see accountability. But let
• 12:40
  Speaker 3: me tell you, the accountability better not stop with just
• 12:44
  Speaker 3: the thieves.
• 12:46
  Speaker 1: Yeah, with a low level.
• 12:47
  Speaker 3: The accountability, and it certainly needs to include the masterminders
• 12:51
  Speaker 3: and the funders, but it also needs to include the
• 12:53
  Speaker 3: government officials in the Minnesota state government, of the federal
• 12:57
  Speaker 3: government that acquiesced to this that look the other way
• 13:00
  Speaker 3: that covered it up. It is so blazingly obvious that
• 13:05
  Speaker 3: there is a reason that this has happened. And look,
• 13:08
  Speaker 3: there is obviously fraud in red states and blue states,
• 13:12
  Speaker 3: and we ought to go after it in all those states.
• 13:14
  Speaker 3: But but there is a reason Minnesota was ground zero
• 13:17
  Speaker 3: for this because you gotta ask.
• 13:19
  Speaker 2: Me, because the AG and because of the governor there.
• 13:22
  Speaker 2: I mean, they're the CEOs the company. And that's the
• 13:25
  Speaker 2: question I want to ask you. If this was a
• 13:26
  Speaker 2: private sector of fraud there would already be.
• 13:29
  Speaker 1: People in handcuffs.
• 13:31
  Speaker 2: Yep, there would be people there that would be doing
• 13:33
  Speaker 2: purp walks. It would be wall to wall coverage. But somehow,
• 13:38
  Speaker 2: because it's the government, it's like the Governor's not even
• 13:41
  Speaker 2: a suspect. The ag is not even a suspect. It's like, oh, well,
• 13:45
  Speaker 2: you know, we want to bring in more Somali's. That's
• 13:47
  Speaker 2: what the governor said a couple of days ago. We
• 13:49
  Speaker 2: should bring more of them in. How dare you demonize them?
• 13:52
  Speaker 2: And if there is no accountability, then did they in
• 13:54
  Speaker 2: fact get away with it? I would argue the answers
• 13:57
  Speaker 2: jest because ultimately their goal was to get Somali's to
• 14:00
  Speaker 2: vote for them. This was the payoff. It's pay to
• 14:03
  Speaker 2: play politics in Minnesota. Am I wrong?
• 14:07
  Speaker 3: You're not wrong? And that needs to be one significant
• 14:09
  Speaker 3: part of the investigation, both from journalists and from prosecutors.
• 14:14
  Speaker 3: There needs to be significant investigation into how much of
• 14:17
  Speaker 3: that money ended up in political coffers of politicians. How
• 14:21
  Speaker 3: much The reason that the Democrats in Minnesota all look
• 14:25
  Speaker 3: the other way is they're all getting paid a It's
• 14:27
  Speaker 3: a huge voting block and I want you to watch
• 14:31
  Speaker 3: this for those of you who are watching this online,
• 14:34
  Speaker 3: I want you to see this video of the mayor
• 14:37
  Speaker 3: of Minneapolis dancing waving a Somali flag. If you haven't,
• 14:42
  Speaker 3: if you're not watching it online, if you're listening on radio,
• 14:44
  Speaker 3: we're gonna narrate it. But here, give a look if
• 14:46
  Speaker 3: you can, and Ben and I will tell you what
• 14:48
  Speaker 3: you're looking at.
• 14:55
  Speaker 1: I mean, this video is amazing.
• 14:57
  Speaker 2: You got the mayor of Minneapolis up there on stage
• 15:00
  Speaker 2: center waving a Somali flag and dancing with a shirt
• 15:06
  Speaker 2: of the Somali flag on his shirt as well. If
• 15:09
  Speaker 2: you want to know how we got to where we
• 15:10
  Speaker 2: are now, this is just proof of it.
• 15:13
  Speaker 1: Am I wrong?
• 15:14
  Speaker 3: Okay? And I got to say that this mayor manages
• 15:18
  Speaker 3: to dance in a way that makes Tim Waltz look manly.
• 15:22
  Speaker 3: That is the most effeminate, prancing ass kissing like unbelievably,
• 15:32
  Speaker 3: he's just dancing and waving a Somali flag. Now, let
• 15:35
  Speaker 3: me ask you, do you think someone who is desperately
• 15:40
  Speaker 3: trying to get the votes of the one hundred thousand
• 15:41
  Speaker 3: Somalis that Democrats have imported into Minnesota and desperately trying
• 15:45
  Speaker 3: to get their cash, do you think he has any
• 15:47
  Speaker 3: interest in investigating and finding out the billions of dollars
• 15:50
  Speaker 3: they're stealing from the tax bius. Hell no, well, and
• 15:53
  Speaker 3: that's how we got here.
• 15:55
  Speaker 2: Let's go back to the dancing mayor and talk a
• 15:58
  Speaker 2: little bit more about the propaganda he puts that on
• 16:00
  Speaker 2: social media, clearly making it well known where his allegiances
• 16:04
  Speaker 2: and is not to the American taxpayer.
• 16:07
  Speaker 3: Well, look, if you're asking how could this happen? How
• 16:10
  Speaker 3: could it be so brazen? How could you have daycare
• 16:13
  Speaker 3: centers with no kids? How could you have daycare centers
• 16:16
  Speaker 3: with no playground equipment? How could you have centers for
• 16:19
  Speaker 3: kids with autism with no kids in them? How could
• 16:21
  Speaker 3: you have home health care providers that are not actually
• 16:24
  Speaker 3: providing health care? Like like the raw brazenness of it.
• 16:28
  Speaker 3: And the answer is the politicians were complicit and and
• 16:32
  Speaker 3: to understand just how craven and corrupt they are. I
• 16:35
  Speaker 3: want to go back to the Minneapolis mayor, Jacob Frey
• 16:38
  Speaker 3: and and or Frey or Fryar or however you say
• 16:40
  Speaker 3: his name.
• 16:43
  Speaker 2: If you're talking in Somali, you know, I don't know.
• 16:45
  Speaker 2: It depends on what you're doing.
• 16:46
  Speaker 3: Well, I want to play a video that he put out,
• 16:49
  Speaker 3: and this is him really speaking to America's heartland, speaking
• 16:52
  Speaker 3: to you, to me, to all of us, because he's
• 16:55
  Speaker 3: a mayor of a major American city. So give a
• 16:58
  Speaker 3: listen to Mayor Fry.
• 16:59
  Speaker 6: Mahga Ago wad Jacob Fry, Dokemagalada, Minneapolis, Daman shaab Ka
• 17:06
  Speaker 6: Somaliid Kayamed Mogadishu, getaway, hageisa Osaso Bedabo, kiss Mayo, Wohana
• 17:15
  Speaker 6: daba in an Iden Higo Minneapolis.
• 17:19
  Speaker 3: Wah, Okay, that's enough.
• 17:21
  Speaker 2: I did hear him say, by the way, you and
• 17:23
  Speaker 2: I are officially unelectable in Minnesota.
• 17:25
  Speaker 1: I just want to be very I did hear.
• 17:27
  Speaker 3: Him say, kiss Mayo. And and he is saying to
• 17:30
  Speaker 3: his voters, kiss Mayo. He's telling them to kiss Mayo.
• 17:33
  Speaker 3: He said Mogadishu. And apparently he's running for mayor of Mogadishu.
• 17:37
  Speaker 3: And maybe he is mayor of Mogadishu. Look, if you're
• 17:39
  Speaker 3: the biggest funder of al Shabab, yeah you're you're actually
• 17:44
  Speaker 3: quite a star in Mogadishu, do you think. Look, I
• 17:47
  Speaker 3: don't know what that guy's saying, and and and that
• 17:50
  Speaker 3: is by design, and and by the way, you might think, well, okay,
• 17:54
  Speaker 3: he's just you know, he's just trying to appeal to
• 17:57
  Speaker 3: a constituency. I want you to listen it to the
• 18:01
  Speaker 3: Prime Minister of Somalia standing next il Han Omar. Ilhan
• 18:05
  Speaker 3: Omar is the congresswoman who represents this Somali community. And
• 18:09
  Speaker 3: I want you to listen to what the Prime Minister
• 18:11
  Speaker 3: of Somalia says about Ilhan Omar.
• 18:29
  Speaker 2: I mean, this is I honestly shocking when he's talking
• 18:33
  Speaker 2: about it's not in the interesting well, it's somebody else.
• 18:37
  Speaker 3: All right, and and let me let me for our listeners.
• 18:40
  Speaker 3: You'll be forgiven if you thought that might have been
• 18:43
  Speaker 3: the mayor of Minneapolis, Jacob Fry, because because they both
• 18:46
  Speaker 3: speak Somalian and so you know, it is understandable that
• 18:49
  Speaker 3: the Prime Minister Somalia sounds just like the Minneapolis mayor.
• 18:52
  Speaker 3: But but here actually is is what the Somalian prime
• 18:57
  Speaker 3: Minister's name, and it's it's Hassan Ali Kyrie. And he
• 19:01
  Speaker 3: says the following. For those listening on radio you don't
• 19:04
  Speaker 3: have the English translations, let me translate what he said. Quote.
• 19:09
  Speaker 3: The interest of Ilhan are not of the American people.
• 19:15
  Speaker 3: The interest of Ilhan is that of the Somalian people
• 19:20
  Speaker 3: and Somalia. That's not me saying that. Are you saying that?
• 19:24
  Speaker 3: That's the Prime Minister of Somalia in Minneapolis, in America
• 19:30
  Speaker 3: telling presumably Americans, your member of Congress, her interests are
• 19:34
  Speaker 3: not America. They are Somalians and Somalia. And you want
• 19:38
  Speaker 3: to know why so many Democrats look the other way
• 19:41
  Speaker 3: as the Somalian fraudsters were robbing the taxpayers blind. It
• 19:46
  Speaker 3: is because they were in on it, they were profiting
• 19:51
  Speaker 3: from it, they were benefiting from it. And this embodies
• 19:55
  Speaker 3: level upon level of corruption.
• 19:58
  Speaker 7: You know.
• 19:58
  Speaker 2: This also goes back to say you and I talked
• 20:00
  Speaker 2: about several months ago when we had then the man
• 20:04
  Speaker 2: in charge of DOGE he was warning us about waste,
• 20:08
  Speaker 2: fraud and abuse.
• 20:09
  Speaker 1: That was Elon Musk.
• 20:10
  Speaker 2: He actually retweeted the last couple of days this segment
• 20:14
  Speaker 2: that we had from him in the DOJ office and
• 20:16
  Speaker 2: the EOB next to the White House, and I want
• 20:18
  Speaker 2: to play that for people just to remind you of
• 20:21
  Speaker 2: what he was talking about of entitlement payments going to
• 20:25
  Speaker 2: people just like these Somalians and illegals, and how this
• 20:29
  Speaker 2: was one of the biggest frauds as he described it.
• 20:32
  Speaker 1: Happening in the history of this country. Take a listen
• 20:35
  Speaker 1: to again.
• 20:35
  Speaker 2: This is Elon Musk on this show months ago warning
• 20:39
  Speaker 2: about this exact type of behavior.
• 20:42
  Speaker 7: And the single biggest thing that they're worried about is
• 20:47
  Speaker 7: that DOJ is going to turn off frauderland payments of entitlements.
• 20:53
  Speaker 7: I mean everything from Social Security, medicare, you know, unemployment, disability,
• 21:00
  Speaker 7: small administ registration loans, turn them off to illegals. This
• 21:05
  Speaker 7: is that props of the matter. Yeah, okay, this is
• 21:08
  Speaker 7: this is the this is the thing that why they
• 21:11
  Speaker 7: really hit my guts, want me to die.
• 21:13
  Speaker 3: And do you think that's billions hundreds of billions?
• 21:16
  Speaker 7: What do you think the scale is of that? I
• 21:18
  Speaker 7: think across the country it's in the it's wealth of
• 21:20
  Speaker 7: one hundred billion, maybe two hundred million. So by using
• 21:27
  Speaker 7: entitlements fraud, the Democrats have been able to attract and
• 21:31
  Speaker 7: retain vast numbers of illegal immigrants and buy voters, and
• 21:38
  Speaker 7: buy voters exactly the basically bring in a ten twenty
• 21:43
  Speaker 7: million people who are beholden to the Democrats for government
• 21:48
  Speaker 7: handouts and will vote overwhelmingly Democrat, as has been demonstrated
• 21:52
  Speaker 7: in California.
• 21:53
  Speaker 1: This is it's an election strategy.
• 21:56
  Speaker 3: Yes, it's power.
• 21:58
  Speaker 7: Yes, and it doesn't take much to the Spring States
• 22:00
  Speaker 7: blue and when off in a Spring state yet be
• 22:02
  Speaker 7: won by ten twenty thousand votes. Sure, so the DAMS
• 22:06
  Speaker 7: can bring in two hundred thousand illegals and over time
• 22:09
  Speaker 7: get them legal legalized, not counting any cheating that takes place,
• 22:12
  Speaker 7: because there is some cheating, but even without cheating, if
• 22:16
  Speaker 7: you bake, if you have, if you bring in illegals
• 22:18
  Speaker 7: that are ten next the voted differential in the Spring state,
• 22:22
  Speaker 7: it will no longer be a swing state, right, and
• 22:25
  Speaker 7: the DAMS will win all the Spring States just a
• 22:27
  Speaker 7: matter of time, and America will be permanent deep blue
• 22:32
  Speaker 7: social estate. At the House, the Senate, YEP, the Presidency,
• 22:38
  Speaker 7: and the Supreme Court will all go hardcore down. They
• 22:41
  Speaker 7: will then further cement that by bringing in even more
• 22:44
  Speaker 7: aliens so you can't vote your way out of it.
• 22:48
  Speaker 7: Their is to make one party social estate, and it
• 22:51
  Speaker 7: will be much worse than California, because least California is
• 22:53
  Speaker 7: mitigated by the fact that someone can leave California.
• 22:56
  Speaker 3: You can go to Texas.
• 22:56
  Speaker 7: Yeah, exactly, So you're going to make everywhere California.
• 23:00
  Speaker 5: But worse.
• 23:01
  Speaker 2: You know, what's interesting is the way that he described
• 23:03
  Speaker 2: it their center, saying you can't They'll get to a
• 23:05
  Speaker 2: point where you can't vote your way out of it.
• 23:07
  Speaker 2: It's almost like Elon was describing Minneapolis, minnep was Saint
• 23:13
  Speaker 2: Paul and now in essence, the entire state is going
• 23:17
  Speaker 2: that way after it's total Somali control locally.
• 23:20
  Speaker 3: Now, look that that is exactly right. I will say,
• 23:23
  Speaker 3: by the way that the interview we did with Elon
• 23:25
  Speaker 3: Musk it was an hour long interview we did in
• 23:27
  Speaker 3: the course of two podcasts. It remains one of my
• 23:30
  Speaker 3: favorite pods we've ever done. If you didn't listen to
• 23:33
  Speaker 3: it when it came out, I would encourage you. It
• 23:35
  Speaker 3: was fascinating. We got to ask Elon all sorts of
• 23:38
  Speaker 3: questions about how he built tel Tesla, how he built SpaceX,
• 23:43
  Speaker 3: what are the odds of killer robots killing us? All,
• 23:45
  Speaker 3: what's gonna happen with AI? I mean, it was it
• 23:48
  Speaker 3: was fun, it was interesting. Elon is a good friend,
• 23:52
  Speaker 3: and and that exchange it was precient that he predicted,
• 23:56
  Speaker 3: and it's interesting he said north of one hundred billion nationwide.
• 23:59
  Speaker 3: We look at Minneapolis and Minnesota where It's already north
• 24:03
  Speaker 3: of nine billion in just one state, and I think
• 24:05
  Speaker 3: that prediction of one hundred billion or more is very accurate.
• 24:09
  Speaker 3: You know, I'll also say on the point about getting
• 24:13
  Speaker 3: you know Elon talked to right there, we get about
• 24:15
  Speaker 3: getting people locked into welfare and dependency and making him
• 24:18
  Speaker 3: dependent on the Democrats. You know, there was a tweet
• 24:21
  Speaker 3: that Bill Ackman, the New York Investor, put out today
• 24:24
  Speaker 3: that I thought was quite insightful. He said, quote, even
• 24:27
  Speaker 3: assuming there was no fraud, none of this makes sense.
• 24:31
  Speaker 3: How is it that we have been funding billions of
• 24:34
  Speaker 3: dollars of daycare for Somali immigrants in Minnesota, eighty one
• 24:41
  Speaker 3: percent of which, according to Gemini, are on welfare. Now
• 24:44
  Speaker 3: get this. Listen to that fact again, eighty one percent
• 24:48
  Speaker 3: of Somali immigrants are on welfare. Acman continues, in other words,
• 24:54
  Speaker 3: if mom and dad don't work, why the need for childcare?
• 24:59
  Speaker 3: Perhaps you could say the welfare statistics include some subsidies
• 25:02
  Speaker 3: for working parents, but still in this case, the childcare
• 25:05
  Speaker 3: does not appear to be needed, as the daycare centers
• 25:08
  Speaker 3: are empty. Furthermore, why is federal funded childcare provided to
• 25:13
  Speaker 3: recent immigrants on welfare? Versus longstanding American working families who
• 25:18
  Speaker 3: are not on welfare. How does this make sense? And
• 25:21
  Speaker 3: the answer is it doesn't. It doesn't unless the goal
• 25:24
  Speaker 3: is to buy votes. And if the goal is to
• 25:26
  Speaker 3: buy vote sense, it makes perfect sense and everyone responsible
• 25:31
  Speaker 3: needs to go to jail.
• 25:32
  Speaker 2: Saat we're talking about accountability and CEOs. They're held accountable
• 25:37
  Speaker 2: when they commit major frauds. Bernie Madeoff is one I
• 25:40
  Speaker 2: mentioned a moment ago as well. Is there a real
• 25:43
  Speaker 2: chance that we will see government elected officials because of
• 25:48
  Speaker 2: this fraud actually be arrested in howd accountable for the
• 25:51
  Speaker 2: fact that they're the CEO of the state and they
• 25:54
  Speaker 2: are the ones that allowed this to happen.
• 25:56
  Speaker 1: There were a lot of warning signs.
• 25:57
  Speaker 2: There were whistle blowers that have come forward saying that
• 26:00
  Speaker 2: they had taken to the governor and they were actually
• 26:02
  Speaker 2: punished for being a whistleblower in Minnesota.
• 26:05
  Speaker 1: That's part of this story that can't be overlooked.
• 26:08
  Speaker 3: Look, I hope so, and I believe there will be accountability.
• 26:11
  Speaker 3: We've already seen people being prosecuted, the fraudsters themselves. We've
• 26:16
  Speaker 3: seen DJ and the FBI promising to go higher up
• 26:19
  Speaker 3: the chain, and I hope and expect that to happen.
• 26:22
  Speaker 7: Now.
• 26:23
  Speaker 3: You know, I will say on Twitter, lots of folks
• 26:25
  Speaker 3: are commenting with our last couple of pods and they're
• 26:28
  Speaker 3: yelling at me, going, will Ted do something about it?
• 26:31
  Speaker 3: And then let's get back to the basic constitution and
• 26:34
  Speaker 3: the separation of powers. The only federal entity that can
• 26:38
  Speaker 3: prosecute is the executive branch, that is the Department of Justice,
• 26:42
  Speaker 3: that is the FBI. They can bring criminal charges. I
• 26:45
  Speaker 3: serve in the legislature. The legislature cannot prosecute anyone. What
• 26:49
  Speaker 3: we can do is shine a light. Well we can do.
• 26:51
  Speaker 3: This podcast reaches millions of people by shining a light
• 26:55
  Speaker 3: and calling for accountability. That builds the momentum for then
• 26:58
  Speaker 3: the executive has to bring the indictments and has to prosecute.
• 27:02
  Speaker 3: And that we're going to do, and I fully expect
• 27:04
  Speaker 3: we will also have congressional hearings again to shine a light. Now,
• 27:08
  Speaker 3: a congressional hearing cannot actually indict anyone and put one
• 27:13
  Speaker 3: in jail, but it can draw real attention and it
• 27:15
  Speaker 3: could uncover evidence that helps helps the executive then prosecute.
• 27:21
  Speaker 3: They are also political consequences, and I want to play
• 27:24
  Speaker 3: actually an ad that I saw online. I don't know
• 27:26
  Speaker 3: who put this together, but it's a satirical ad about
• 27:29
  Speaker 3: Tim Waltz that gives some of the sense of political
• 27:32
  Speaker 3: consequences that will happen. This just came out today. Give
• 27:37
  Speaker 3: a listen.
• 27:38
  Speaker 5: Tim Walls doesn't seek out Fraud. Fraud seeks out Tim Walls.
• 27:43
  Speaker 5: When scammers apply for jobs, they list him as a reference.
• 27:47
  Speaker 5: Under his watch, Fraud is Minnesota's fastest growing small business.
• 27:52
  Speaker 5: His biggest export taxpayer money delivered to foreign terrorists. If
• 27:57
  Speaker 5: Fraud had a frequent flyer program, he would always fly
• 28:01
  Speaker 5: first class. He is Tim Walls, the most fraudulent man
• 28:06
  Speaker 5: in America. Tim Walls doesn't see I.
• 28:10
  Speaker 2: Love the and I remember the most interesting man in
• 28:13
  Speaker 2: the world. That's that thing to that with those techis yeah,
• 28:17
  Speaker 2: which is such a great like great ad series they
• 28:20
  Speaker 2: did there for years.
• 28:21
  Speaker 3: And by the way, man, by the way, by the way, man,
• 28:24
  Speaker 3: I have to say, I'm also a fan of bearded
• 28:27
  Speaker 3: latinos with with just you know, with something to say
• 28:30
  Speaker 3: in the world.
• 28:31
  Speaker 2: There's something I understand your beard like never before you
• 28:35
  Speaker 2: were trying to be the most interesting man in the
• 28:37
  Speaker 2: world of politics.
• 28:38
  Speaker 1: Okay, now, it's full circle.
• 28:40
  Speaker 3: It's a low bar. I mean the low bar.
• 28:42
  Speaker 1: I get it. That's so good. That's I'm never okay.
• 28:46
  Speaker 2: The connection is solidified now that that ad is hysterical,
• 28:51
  Speaker 2: it's also incredibly accurate.
• 28:54
  Speaker 3: Look this is and it's just the beginning. This is
• 28:58
  Speaker 3: only gonna get worse. As I said, this has happened
• 29:01
  Speaker 3: in other states. Minnesota is a perfect storm because you've
• 29:05
  Speaker 3: got the massive Somali community there, but it is happening
• 29:09
  Speaker 3: in other states. We are going to see accountability and listen,
• 29:12
  Speaker 3: I'm really glad the Trump administration, DOJ and the FBI
• 29:15
  Speaker 3: is going after that this. But also today HHS, the
• 29:20
  Speaker 3: Trump administration came out with with this announcement. Give a listen.
• 29:25
  Speaker 8: I'm here with Assistant Secretary Alex Adams. Alex Overseas, the
• 29:28
  Speaker 8: Administration for Children and Families and TRUMPID journalists have made shocky,
• 29:33
  Speaker 8: incredible allegations of extensive fraud in Minnesota's childcare programs. We
• 29:38
  Speaker 8: believe the state of Minnesota has allowed scammers and fake
• 29:40
  Speaker 8: daycares to siphon millions of taxpayer dollars over the past decade.
• 29:44
  Speaker 9: My office ACF provides Minnesota one hundred and eighty five
• 29:48
  Speaker 9: million dollars in childcare funds each year. That money should
• 29:51
  Speaker 9: be helping nineteen thousand American children, including toddlers and infants.
• 29:55
  Speaker 9: Any dollar stolen by fraudsters is stolen from those children.
• 30:00
  Speaker 9: Yesterday I spoke directly with the director of the Minnesota
• 30:03
  Speaker 9: Childcare Services Office. She could not tell me with confidence
• 30:06
  Speaker 9: whether those allegations of fraud are isolated or whether there's
• 30:09
  Speaker 9: fraud stretching statewide.
• 30:11
  Speaker 8: Today, we've taken three direct actions against the blatant fraud
• 30:14
  Speaker 8: that seems to be rampant in Minnesota. First, I have
• 30:18
  Speaker 8: activated our defend the Spend system for all ACF childcare
• 30:21
  Speaker 8: payments across America. Starting today, we require a justification, receipt
• 30:26
  Speaker 8: or photo evidence before we make a payment. Second, I've
• 30:30
  Speaker 8: just signed and sent a demand letter to Governor Walls.
• 30:33
  Speaker 8: I required a full three hundred and sixty review of
• 30:36
  Speaker 8: these centers. This includes attendance records, licenses, complaints, investigations, and inspections.
• 30:42
  Speaker 9: And Third, we've launched a dedicated fraud reporting hotline and
• 30:46
  Speaker 9: email address at childcare dot gov. Whether you're a parent,
• 30:49
  Speaker 9: a provider, a member of the public, we want to
• 30:51
  Speaker 9: hear from you. Let me be crystal clear. ACF expects
• 30:55
  Speaker 9: every state to uphold the highest standards of oversight, monitoring,
• 30:59
  Speaker 9: and accountability for federal dollars. Minnesota is no exception.
• 31:03
  Speaker 8: We're committed to holding bad actors accountable, regardless the rank
• 31:06
  Speaker 8: of office. Anyone is involved and perpetrating this fraud against
• 31:09
  Speaker 8: the American people should expect to be prosecuted to the
• 31:13
  Speaker 8: fullest extent of the law.
• 31:15
  Speaker 1: So this is a step in the right direction.
• 31:17
  Speaker 2: And if you look at the president's response, in the
• 31:19
  Speaker 2: administration's response, I do think the best part is he's
• 31:23
  Speaker 2: using all of government. We're hearing that the IRS is
• 31:26
  Speaker 2: getting involved at the Department in Security, the FBI, They're
• 31:30
  Speaker 2: working with basically every part of our government to fight
• 31:35
  Speaker 2: this fraud. You see this from AJHS and there are
• 31:38
  Speaker 2: some that will say, well, this is unfair because they're
• 31:41
  Speaker 2: stopping the funding and there has to be somebody doing
• 31:43
  Speaker 2: good work in Minnesota. If you're mad, I would say
• 31:47
  Speaker 2: that you should be mad at the Democrats for allowing
• 31:49
  Speaker 2: it to get to the point where they had to
• 31:50
  Speaker 2: stop the funding going to the state of Minnesota. If
• 31:53
  Speaker 2: you're angry, you should be angry at Waltz and you
• 31:55
  Speaker 2: should be angry at every Democrat that allowed this to
• 31:58
  Speaker 2: continue when they're there's massive amounts of warning signs, not
• 32:02
  Speaker 2: for weeks, not for months, but for literally years and
• 32:04
  Speaker 2: years and years.
• 32:06
  Speaker 3: Well, Ben Jim O'Neil, who just made that announcement, he
• 32:08
  Speaker 3: is the deputy secretary of HHS. He's Bobby Kennedy's deputy.
• 32:12
  Speaker 3: Jim has been a good friend of mine for twenty
• 32:15
  Speaker 3: five years. Actually Jim was a groomsman at Heidi's in
• 32:18
  Speaker 3: my wedding, so actually longer married twenty five years ago,
• 32:21
  Speaker 3: so Jim was a groomsman at our wedding and he's
• 32:24
  Speaker 3: a great friend. He's doing a terrific job as deputy
• 32:26
  Speaker 3: secretary at HHS. But that's the kind of leadership we
• 32:29
  Speaker 3: see now. It's now, it's striking when when when HHS
• 32:34
  Speaker 3: put this out immediately, Tim Waltz responded and and here's
• 32:38
  Speaker 3: what what Tim Waltz said in response. This is Trump's
• 32:42
  Speaker 3: long game. We've spent years cracking down on fraudsters. It's
• 32:48
  Speaker 3: a serious issue, but this has been his plan all along.
• 32:52
  Speaker 3: He's politicizing the issue to defund programs that help Minnesotans.
• 32:57
  Speaker 3: And this is this is solemnly like jiu jitsu of
• 33:03
  Speaker 3: attacking the Trump administration for holding him accountable. Look, Governor Waltz,
• 33:09
  Speaker 3: when you let Somali and fraudsters steal nine billion dollars
• 33:13
  Speaker 3: from taxpayers, you know who doesn't get that? Real Minnesotans
• 33:17
  Speaker 3: who are not fraudsters, real kids. And that's what the
• 33:20
  Speaker 3: Trump AHHS emphasized right now is this money is made
• 33:24
  Speaker 3: to go to Americans in need and not to thieves
• 33:28
  Speaker 3: who are supporting Democrats. And we're gonna see a whole
• 33:32
  Speaker 3: lot more accountability coming.
