YouTuber Outs Media and Does What Liberal News Giants Wouldn’t · The Ben Ferguson Podcast

0:01
Speaker 1: Fallout after the viral video showing widespread fraud in Minnesota
0:06
Speaker 1: doesn't seem to be stopping the Governor Tim Waltz from
0:10
Speaker 1: doing what he does best standing with the Somali community.
0:14
Speaker 1: Not only is he refusing to answer questions from the media,
0:18
Speaker 1: he's now saying he wants to bring more Somalians into
0:22
Speaker 1: Minnesota to back up the fraud and abuse. Apparently that's
0:26
Speaker 1: already happened this coming out of Seattle, as Tim walt
0:31
Speaker 1: ignores the questions about apologizing to Minnesota over the Somali
0:36
Speaker 1: fraud and then listen to what he had to say
0:38
Speaker 1: at a luncheon about it as well.
0:41
Speaker 2: Dofter Walt's what can you say about the latest on
0:44
Speaker 2: the Somali fraud that happened.
0:45
Speaker 3: Under your watch? Governor?
0:47
Speaker 2: Have you been able to apologize yet to the people
0:49
Speaker 2: of Minnesota for allowing this Somali fraud to continue under.
0:52
Speaker 3: Your watching of the people of Minnesota?
0:54
Speaker 2: Is the time to apologize? How about the whistleblowers? Then
0:58
Speaker 2: you have allegedly retaliated again. Would you like to respond
1:02
Speaker 2: to the whistleblowers?
1:03
Speaker 3: And right how our neighbors are being demonized. Our neighbors
1:06
Speaker 3: are being terrifized.
1:07
Speaker 1: Our neighbors are being can go off the students.
1:10
Speaker 4: The antidote to that is is positive actions to improve
1:15
Speaker 4: lives that go against what they're trying to do.
1:17
Speaker 3: So instead of.
1:18
Speaker 4: Demonizing are small, we're going to be war as welcome,
1:21
Speaker 4: orient and welcome people better.
1:24
Speaker 1: Instead, we're going to that's right. You just heard the
1:29
Speaker 1: governor of Minnesota say instead of cutting programs filled with
1:32
Speaker 1: billions of dollars of fraud, we're going to enhance those programs.
1:39
Speaker 1: He said. Instead of getting rid of people, we're going
1:42
Speaker 1: to be more welcoming. Instead of demonizing our Somali community,
1:46
Speaker 1: we're going to be bringing more of them in, welcoming
1:51
Speaker 1: more of them in. Why what a governor after billions
1:56
Speaker 1: of dollars of fraud is exposed would say something this
2:00
Speaker 1: out of touch with reality. Well, it's very simple. Governor
2:04
Speaker 1: Waltz knows that he could not be reelected without the
2:06
Speaker 1: Somali community. There is a large voting block, and the
2:10
Speaker 1: Somali community votes basically one hundred percent of the time together.
2:14
Speaker 1: It's not like normal America. We're fifty percent or conservative
2:18
Speaker 1: and fifty percent or liberal, or forty five percent or
2:21
Speaker 1: conservative and forty five percent or liberal, and then there's
2:23
Speaker 1: the undecideds in the middle, the Somali community, you get,
2:26
Speaker 1: all of them are virtually none of their vote. And
2:29
Speaker 1: Governor Waltz is basically saying, I'm willing to sell out
2:32
Speaker 1: Minnesota's taxpayers and federal taxpayers to save the Somali community,
2:38
Speaker 1: putting them ahead of American citizens that are being defrauded.
2:42
Speaker 1: Which brings us to the Trump administration's response to this insanity.
2:47
Speaker 1: The Department of Homeland Security under Secretary Nome has now
2:51
Speaker 1: confirmed that federal Homeland Security agents are actively conducting a
2:57
Speaker 1: major fraud investigation in Minneapolis, focusing on the childcare centers
3:02
Speaker 1: and other alleged rampant fraud schemes. Agents have been observed
3:07
Speaker 1: going door to door at suspected sites as part of
3:10
Speaker 1: the probe in the last twenty four hours. The administration
3:15
Speaker 1: is portraying the operations part of a broader effort to
3:19
Speaker 1: protect federal funds and ensure accountability, framing these activities as
3:24
Speaker 1: legitimate law enforcement actions that are expanding and that moves
3:30
Speaker 1: us to the FBI. FBI Director Cash battel Is announced
3:34
Speaker 1: that the bureau has also surged additional agents and new
3:38
Speaker 1: investigative resources to Minnesota at large to investigate what officials
3:43
Speaker 1: are describing as a large scale fraud schemes involving federal
3:48
Speaker 1: aid programs amounting into the hundreds of millions, if not
3:52
Speaker 1: billions of dollars. Director Battel characterized the known fraud cases
3:58
Speaker 1: as possibly the tip of a very large iceberg, referring
4:02
Speaker 1: to previous investigations like Feeding Our Future and new leads
4:07
Speaker 1: sparked by the recent media attention as well as whistleblowers
4:11
Speaker 1: coming forward that also brings us to the US Immigration
4:14
Speaker 1: and Customs Enforcement known as ICE. They often work under
4:18
Speaker 1: the Department of Homeland Security, and it has been reported
4:22
Speaker 1: that they are targeting suspected fraud sites in Minnesota to
4:25
Speaker 1: identify and address possible immigration related violations, including checks on
4:31
Speaker 1: legal status and enforcement where applicable. Some news reports are
4:37
Speaker 1: also indicating that there have been door to door operations
4:40
Speaker 1: connected with the fraud investigation that also involved immigration enforcement elements.
4:47
Speaker 1: Specific numbers and targets are in flux, but we will
4:50
Speaker 1: keep you updated on when we get the hard numbers. Now,
4:53
Speaker 1: all of this has triggered a federal response because of
4:58
Speaker 1: the virals. Media video showing alleged empty daycare centers and
5:04
Speaker 1: nonetheless receiving no significant public information from the governor, the
5:11
Speaker 1: Attorney General of Minnesota, or even from the mainstream media.
5:16
Speaker 1: Conservative leaders including Ted Cruz, Vice President Vance have publicly
5:21
Speaker 1: praised the video's impact in drawing federal attention to the
5:25
Speaker 1: matter as well the FBI and the Department of Home Security.
5:29
Speaker 1: Response also blends long standing fraud investigations with new actions
5:34
Speaker 1: tied to the recent spotlight on the Minnesota programs, which
5:39
Speaker 1: brings us back to the Minnesota Governor, Tim Waltz. He
5:42
Speaker 1: is being criticized by federal figures and GOP lawmakers the
5:46
Speaker 1: Trump administration, framing the situation as evidence of lacks oversight
5:51
Speaker 1: of federal funds, and officials in Minnesota are even angry
5:55
Speaker 1: as well, bringing up broader claims emphasizing existing efforts to
6:00
Speaker 1: fight fraud, and the whistleblowers were punished by the governor.
6:06
Speaker 1: So that brings us to where we are now. What
6:09
Speaker 1: we know is it looks like law and order will
6:11
Speaker 1: be restored, even if the governor says we want to
6:14
Speaker 1: bring in more Somali's for more fraud, even when he
6:17
Speaker 1: says that we're demonizing those that are taking billions of
6:21
Speaker 1: dollars away from American citizens. So Governor Waltz can hang
6:26
Speaker 1: out on stage and say this is his plan. But
6:29
Speaker 1: it's clear that law and order and law enforcement is
6:32
Speaker 1: going to take place, and it could even involve the
6:35
Speaker 1: governor himself. Minnesota's Somali fraud scandal has exploded over the weekend,
6:42
Speaker 1: all because of a very brave YouTuber in his early
6:45
Speaker 1: twenties that decided to do the job that the entire
6:49
Speaker 1: media apparatus chose not to do. Now, did he do
6:53
Speaker 1: some unbelievable amount of undercover journalism to get this story. No,
6:59
Speaker 1: he just went and asked basic questions and knocked on
7:02
Speaker 1: doors and what he found was billions of dollars in fraud.
7:07
Speaker 1: We also now know that the FBI Director Cash Patel
7:12
Speaker 1: has said the Minnesota fraud's scheme is a now quote
7:15
Speaker 1: top FBI priority and is calling it the tip of
7:19
Speaker 1: a very large iceberg. He also made it clear that
7:23
Speaker 1: the FBI is not only aware of the videos that
7:26
Speaker 1: have gone viral over the weekend, but is going to
7:29
Speaker 1: do everything to bring those who have been committing this
7:32
Speaker 1: fraud to justice, including denaturalization. Now, let's get to the
7:38
Speaker 1: core of what exploded over the weekend, and the biggest
7:42
Speaker 1: part of the story is simply asking questions by a
7:46
Speaker 1: very brave young man. He put up his video on
7:50
Speaker 1: social media. It is one that has obviously gone viral
7:55
Speaker 1: and it's an important story about an individual using the
7:59
Speaker 1: power of a cell phone to then turn it into
8:03
Speaker 1: a forty two minute investigative video. Nick Shirley went out
8:08
Speaker 1: to the addresses that were listed on the government's website
8:12
Speaker 1: in Minnesota where the money had been going by the
8:16
Speaker 1: millions of dollars to see what he could find, and
8:19
Speaker 1: what he found was incredibly shocking, massive fraud and no
8:24
Speaker 1: kids playing at any of the learning centers time after time.
8:29
Speaker 1: Guess what happened. He didn't see anybody actually doing anything
8:35
Speaker 1: with kids. Now, the government surely knew this, but they
8:39
Speaker 1: didn't care because they're in on the scheme as well.
8:42
Speaker 1: Which brings me to playing part of the videos for you.
8:47
Speaker 1: I encourage you to watch the entire forty two minute
8:49
Speaker 1: investigative video. I've put it up on x on Instagram
8:53
Speaker 1: and on Facebook, but I want to play part of
8:56
Speaker 1: what Shirley uncovered and one widely shared scene. What you're
9:00
Speaker 1: gonna hear Shirley highlight that one center received about two
9:04
Speaker 1: million dollars this last year in twenty twenty five alone,
9:08
Speaker 1: despite no children or activity being a parent at the
9:13
Speaker 1: site during daytime visits. Now, Shirley's video claims it over
9:17
Speaker 1: one hundred and ten million in fraud was documented in
9:21
Speaker 1: a single day of investigative reporting. Why did the media
9:25
Speaker 1: not do this story? Again, this was not some massive whistleblower.
9:30
Speaker 1: This was simply using publicly available data from the government
9:36
Speaker 1: of Minnesota to then go and ask questions. And Shirley
9:40
Speaker 1: was the only one that apparently was willing to do
9:43
Speaker 1: the job that all of the media chose not to do.
9:48
Speaker 1: So take a listen to one incredible part of that video.
9:53
Speaker 4: When I look at the world as whole and I
9:55
Speaker 4: look at fraud, the Twin Cities is own zero. The
10:01
Speaker 4: fraud is worse here than anywhere else ever in history, anywhere.
10:05
Speaker 3: We're gonna go in front these people, We're gonna go
10:07
Speaker 3: to these daycare centers, We're gonna see what's actually happening.
10:09
Speaker 4: Okay, So we have to be careful because these people
10:12
Speaker 4: are very violent. They're exceptionally violent.
10:15
Speaker 3: Now, with all of David's evidence, we headed out to
10:17
Speaker 3: the streets of Minneapolis to see how much fraud we
10:20
Speaker 3: could uncover in one afternoon. Where are we going now.
10:24
Speaker 4: We're going to a place called Maco Childcare, which actually
10:27
Speaker 4: has another childcare registered at the same address called Mini
10:32
Speaker 4: child Care Center.
10:34
Speaker 3: So we should see lots of children there's at this
10:36
Speaker 3: childcare centers, especially if there's two.
10:38
Speaker 4: The two of them combined our license for one hundred
10:40
Speaker 4: and twenty and how.
10:42
Speaker 3: Much money have these childcare centers received.
10:46
Speaker 4: None of those vans had moved in six months. None
10:49
Speaker 4: of them. In twenty twenty one of them received one
10:52
Speaker 4: point three million, and twenty twenty one they got nine
10:55
Speaker 4: hunt and eighty seven thousand. In twenty twenty two they
10:57
Speaker 4: got seven hundred and fourteen thousand. That's the last I
11:00
Speaker 4: have for that one, and then the other one one
11:03
Speaker 4: point six zero four million. In fiscal year twenty twenty five.
11:08
Speaker 4: Fiscal year twenty twenty four they got about eight hundred
11:13
Speaker 4: thousand and twenty fiscal year twenty twenty three, they got
11:16
Speaker 4: nine hundred and four thousand and fifty nine dollars. This
11:19
Speaker 4: place right here, yes, outside of it, well, this is
11:22
Speaker 4: actually two daycares are registered here. One of them is
11:26
Speaker 4: Mako what you see on the sign. The other one
11:28
Speaker 4: is Many childcare Center. And between the two of these
11:33
Speaker 4: childcare centers, they're pulling in about three million dollars a year,
11:38
Speaker 4: and there are no children. Every facility is you go to,
11:41
Speaker 4: the windows will be blocked out so you can't see in.
11:44
Speaker 4: There's nobody here. You won't see a single child at
11:46
Speaker 4: any of these facilities.
11:48
Speaker 3: There are indeed no windows. All the windows are blocked
11:52
Speaker 3: out right here. All right, let's go in and the
11:57
Speaker 3: childcare center is locked. Shooting the doorbell, try to get in,
12:01
Speaker 3: rang the doorbell, nobody showed up. They're open seven days
12:04
Speaker 3: a week at seventy to ten pm, it says here
12:06
Speaker 3: on their sign. Yet there's absolutely nobody here. And this
12:10
Speaker 3: building here right here has generated millions of dollars, and
12:15
Speaker 3: it seems like business isn't even open right now, and
12:17
Speaker 3: it's a weekday. And if this was a daycare center,
12:19
Speaker 3: it wouldn't just be in some industrialized building there. It'd
12:21
Speaker 3: be maybe like a playground or something outside.
12:23
Speaker 4: Or there's no play area for the kids. So where
12:28
Speaker 4: are the kids? Where's anybody? How can there be nobody here?
12:31
Speaker 4: And it's like this every single day I've never seen
12:35
Speaker 4: a single child here in nine years, I've never seen
12:39
Speaker 4: a single child at this building right there.
12:42
Speaker 3: Oh, then, now it looks like we've already got the
12:44
Speaker 3: Somali's coming.
12:44
Speaker 4: To They're coming the words out.
12:46
Speaker 3: Hello, is this your daycare?
12:48
Speaker 2: No?
12:48
Speaker 4: Can you tell us where there are no children? Have
12:51
Speaker 4: you ever seen children at this childcare center?
12:55
Speaker 3: Doesn't know if you've ever seen a child here? All right,
12:57
Speaker 3: let's go to the next location. Now we're going to
12:59
Speaker 3: the next daycare center. How much mony has this one generated?
13:02
Speaker 4: This one in fiscal year twenty twenty five one million,
13:06
Speaker 4: forty two thousand and fifty nine dollars, in fiscal year
13:09
Speaker 4: twenty twenty four one million, fifty nine thousand, seventy eight dollars,
13:13
Speaker 4: and in fifcally your twenty twenty three seven hundred and
13:16
Speaker 4: twenty seven thousand, three hundred and thirty six dollars.
13:19
Speaker 3: This next one is literally one block away, and this
13:22
Speaker 3: one's also generated nearly three million dollars in the past
13:26
Speaker 3: three years. And see if there's any children, and see
13:28
Speaker 3: if any of the buildings are open. Here we go.
13:31
Speaker 3: All right, we've arrived to ABC Learning Center. All the
13:35
Speaker 3: windows are blocked out. Let's see if anybody is here.
13:43
Speaker 3: This door is locked.
13:45
Speaker 4: This facility has licensed for forty children, zero children. I've
13:49
Speaker 4: come by this place one hundred times. I've never seen
13:52
Speaker 4: a child here. Ever. Another thing I've ever seen is
13:55
Speaker 4: someone's standing outside smoking.
13:56
Speaker 3: What's crazy about this is that last daycare center is
13:59
Speaker 3: that green building right there, and the other daycare center
14:03
Speaker 3: right now is right here. These buildings should be operating
14:06
Speaker 3: as they're receiving literally millions of dollars. I knocked on
14:12
Speaker 3: the door. Into my surprise, somebody actually answered the door. Hello,
14:17
Speaker 3: can we speak? I would like to check a child
14:21
Speaker 3: in the daycare? Can I speak to a manager? Where

Speaker 4: In fiscal year twenty twenty five, this facility, which sh
14:49
Speaker 4: has its license for seventy four kids, was paid one
14:52
Speaker 4: point two six million dollars in tax money, and there
14:57
Speaker 4: are no kids, and all the facilities are the same way,
15:00
Speaker 4: all of them.

16:38
Speaker 3: I'm not saying you said you're scared of me because
16:41
Speaker 3: of my color, that makes you a racist. So right
16:43
Speaker 3: now they're all getting mad because he's showing the paperwork
16:46
Speaker 3: on this business being registered as a business. Seventy four
16:48
Speaker 3: children have no children? He saw one child when the
16:51
Speaker 3: lady opened up the door. So now they're all getting mad.
16:55
Speaker 4: What was this money spent? One million? Run any kids after?
17:02
Speaker 4: Don aren't the kids? Well then why are you talking
17:05
Speaker 4: for the talk to you. I'm sorry, I'm not just

Speaker 5: No? Does anybody where are the seventy four kids? Did
17:15
Speaker 5: you lose them? Did you lose these kids? Do I
17:18
Speaker 5: need to call someone? Do I need to issue an
17:20
Speaker 5: Amber alert for missing children? Are these children missing? It's
17:26
Speaker 5: not my business that children are missing. Seventy four infantion toddlers,
17:30
Speaker 5: free school.
17:32
Speaker 3: The person right there, there's no children anywhere. Now it's
17:42
Speaker 3: kept buying away. We're moving on to the next location.
17:45
Speaker 3: I have a good day. I have a good day.
17:49
Speaker 3: As we continue to show the blatant fraud that was
17:52
Speaker 3: taking place here in Minnesota, Somalie start following us around
17:55
Speaker 3: the city and now we're being followed by SMI. This
17:58
Speaker 3: is another daycare center. Absolutely no s and there's no
18:01
Speaker 3: footprints in the snow of children playing outside. Five million
18:05
Speaker 3: dollars in the past two million.
18:07
Speaker 4: Two years. Five point nine million they received in two
18:10
Speaker 4: years that facility right there.
18:13
Speaker 3: And now we have a group of Smalies telling us
18:15
Speaker 3: in our vehicle right now. From this daycare center, we
18:18
Speaker 3: headed over to the infamous Quality Learning Center, which actually
18:23
Speaker 3: spells Quality Leering Center on the outside of their sign.
18:27
Speaker 3: That's how blatant this fraud is here at this daycare.
18:30
Speaker 3: Don't open up. So this is quality leering center? Meant
18:35
Speaker 3: to say quality learning center, don't they said they spelled
18:40
Speaker 3: learning wrong.
18:41
Speaker 4: Don't open up.
18:42
Speaker 3: How do you have ice here, ma'am? I'm literally a YouTuber.
18:44
Speaker 3: Don't open up, ma'am? What do you think about the
18:46
Speaker 3: fraud that's taking place here in Minnesota?
18:48
Speaker 4: Don't open up. We have eyes, man. What do you
18:52
Speaker 4: think about this place being licensed for ninety nine children?
18:55
Speaker 3: Don't open up.
18:56
Speaker 4: And getting four million dollars over them, four million dollars
19:00
Speaker 4: in the last two years. What do you think about that?
19:04
Speaker 4: Are you in favor? Are you in favor of that
19:07
Speaker 4: go away?
19:08
Speaker 3: You know we're not welcome here, say money? Are you
19:11
Speaker 3: in favor of one point nine million dollars going illegally
19:17
Speaker 3: fraudulently to this business that has quality learning center? But
19:20
Speaker 3: Kenny's still learning right on the door. Don't open up, ma'am.
19:24
Speaker 3: We are not ice. I don't care who you are.
19:27
Speaker 3: You don't belong here. I belong here just like you
19:29
Speaker 3: belong here. Don't open up.
19:31
Speaker 4: It's ice.
19:33
Speaker 3: You do realize that there's supposed to be ninety nine
19:35
Speaker 3: children in here at this building, but there's no one here.
19:39
Speaker 3: This is a child daycare center.
19:40
Speaker 4: It's ninety nine children paid one point nine million dollars
19:44
Speaker 4: this year in seacamp funding. Do you know where the
19:46
Speaker 4: children are? Where they kidnapped? They run away? Where are
19:50
Speaker 4: the children? This is state of Minnesota. Are here? And
19:54
Speaker 4: who are you?
19:54
Speaker 3: My name's Nick Shirley, ma'am. And who are you with
19:57
Speaker 3: Nick Shirley?
19:58
Speaker 2: Nick?
19:58
Speaker 3: Surely on YouTube? So who are you with here? Oh,
20:01
Speaker 3: he's just been doing some research or investigating the fraud
20:03
Speaker 3: that's taking place here in Minnesota. Surely this lady she's
20:07
Speaker 3: calling as ice. We're just trying to put law and
20:09
Speaker 3: order back in the streets of the United States, get
20:12
Speaker 3: rid of all the fraud. Have you ever seen children
20:14
Speaker 3: at that daycare center right there? Well, yeah, it's right there.
20:17
Speaker 3: It says the child you've never seen dacab.
20:19
Speaker 6: I haven't seen anybody.
20:20
Speaker 3: We're going to educate you on something. So what do
20:22
Speaker 3: you think about this daycare center? They spelt learning wrong.
20:25
Speaker 3: They've received over one point nine million dollars this year alone,
20:28
Speaker 3: and they're supposed to have ninety nine children here.
20:30
Speaker 6: I don't see it.
20:31
Speaker 3: My children have you ever seen any children here? None?
20:33
Speaker 6: None at all?
20:34
Speaker 4: None last year. This year they got one point nine million.
20:37
Speaker 4: Last year they got one point five million of your
20:39
Speaker 4: tax money for nine and nine children. We just want
20:41
Speaker 4: to know where are the kids?
20:42
Speaker 2: Right?
20:43
Speaker 4: Where are the children?
20:44
Speaker 6: I don't see him. I've been here since twenty seventeen.
20:47
Speaker 6: I haven't seen anybody like that child.
20:50
Speaker 3: And so you've never seen a child here for eight years?
20:52
Speaker 6: Nope, not at all.
20:54
Speaker 3: And how does that make you feel knowing that this
20:55
Speaker 3: place is receiving one point nine million dollars?
20:58
Speaker 6: Disgusting?
21:00
Speaker 3: We went to hell.
21:00
Speaker 6: They stealed in the money. That's a federal grant too.
21:02
Speaker 6: Let's see if they get caught for that's the offense.
21:05
Speaker 6: I don't know. I studied law.
21:07
Speaker 3: And do you think Tim Watts should go to jail
21:08
Speaker 3: for all the fraud that's he's enabled here in his state?
21:11
Speaker 6: That's him doing this?
21:12
Speaker 5: Sure?
21:13
Speaker 6: Heck care he's gonna be helocomonal for this. I mean,
21:16
Speaker 6: just no, just no rhyme or reason. What's going on here?
21:18
Speaker 6: It's simple, it's nothing there sparking lot.
21:21
Speaker 3: And look, they even spelt learning wrong on their sign
21:24
Speaker 3: for a place that's supposed to be educating children children.
21:29
Speaker 6: That's crazy.
21:30
Speaker 4: I mean who runs it, who supposedly runs it?
21:33
Speaker 3: Som allions? Oh my god, Oh my god. Will Joey
21:39
Speaker 3: would not be accepted to that daycare. Joey's still looking
21:43
Speaker 3: for daycare. And because little Joey couldn't get into a daycare,
21:46
Speaker 3: we went to an autism center, as they have been
21:49
Speaker 3: popping up everywhere as a rise of autism has occurred
21:52
Speaker 3: here in Minnesota because of the government funds that they're receiving.
21:56
Speaker 3: I tried to check my son Joey into an autism center.
22:00
Speaker 3: Owed to a lot of these daycare centers, We're trying
22:01
Speaker 3: to find a spot for our little boy Joey, but
22:04
Speaker 3: we thought maybe we could check them in the autism
22:06
Speaker 3: center because now the daycare centers are open. Yeah, and
22:09
Speaker 3: how many kids you guys have at this autism center?
22:14
Speaker 3: I can't give you a burning, like more than five probably,
22:21
Speaker 3: So you don't really know. What do you guys think about,
22:24
Speaker 3: like the fraud that's been labeled on the autism centers here?
22:26
Speaker 3: What do you guys do think about the fraud? Or
22:28
Speaker 3: how come the autism centers are popping up? I can't
22:34
Speaker 3: My name is that Nick we're doing a little documentary
22:36
Speaker 3: trying to find little Joey a spot to put himself
22:38
Speaker 3: in one of these centers here because there's the fraud. Yeah,
22:43
Speaker 3: because we want to make sure we're going to legit
22:44
Speaker 3: business if we're gonna bring our little boy Joey here.
22:48
Speaker 3: This is not a duly spot. M hm. Well that's
22:51
Speaker 3: our number on you. This is you can't let you
22:55
Speaker 3: got excoose. Okay, thank you. So once again, little Joey
23:00
Speaker 3: he can't even go to daycare and now they won't
23:01
Speaker 3: even accept him if he has autism.
23:03
Speaker 4: And again no kids couldn't tell you how many kids
23:06
Speaker 4: they serve.
23:07
Speaker 3: After being able to provide no evidence of them actually
23:10
Speaker 3: being an autism center in a place where a child
23:12
Speaker 3: could go, they shut the door and we headed to
23:15
Speaker 3: the next fraudulent daycare center that was just around the corner.
23:19
Speaker 3: We're on to the next location. We're still trying to
23:21
Speaker 3: find a little Joey a place to go to get
23:23
Speaker 3: some daycare.
23:23
Speaker 4: So where we're going now is a place called super
23:26
Speaker 4: Kids Daycare Center. Interestingly, this daycare center was shut down
23:33
Speaker 4: when it was called Creative Mind's Daycare and it had
23:36
Speaker 4: received two point four five million dollars. This fiscal year
23:42
Speaker 4: twenty twenty five, they had the shutdown because there were
23:45
Speaker 4: so many violations, and they went and they just reopened
23:48
Speaker 4: under a new license and they renamed the center super
23:51
Speaker 4: Kids Daycare Center, LLC.
23:53
Speaker 3: So they got shut down then started another one literally
23:57
Speaker 3: the next day Creative Mind's Daycare. To point four or
24:01
Speaker 3: five million dollars got sent to this daycare center.
24:04
Speaker 1: We have.
24:06
Speaker 3: Empty parking lot. We do have a bus here. This
24:08
Speaker 3: is different. We'll see if we see anybody. I knocked
24:10
Speaker 3: on the door. Absolutely nobody was inside, and once again
24:14
Speaker 3: no children could be heard anywhere. So David, once again
24:17
Speaker 3: another child daycare center. We have a bus out here,
24:22
Speaker 3: No one's inside, license for over fifty kids, no children anywhere,
24:27
Speaker 3: but yet millions of dollars every single year.
24:32
Speaker 4: So the sign says Creative Mind's Daycare. They got in
24:36
Speaker 4: so much trouble, they had so many violations that they
24:40
Speaker 4: had to shut down and they reopened the next day
24:43
Speaker 4: under super Kids Daycare Center. You see thirty eight oh
24:47
Speaker 4: one Portland. Thirty eight oh one Portland, which is where
24:50
Speaker 4: we are.
24:51
Speaker 3: So that's fraud right there alone.
24:54
Speaker 4: Millions and millions of dollars. And again the kids are missing.
24:57
Speaker 4: Where the kids?
24:58
Speaker 3: You'd think if they had the same address that whoever's
25:00
Speaker 3: inside we're working at the capitol here inside of Minnesota,
25:04
Speaker 3: would to say, oh, maybe that's a red flag.
25:07
Speaker 4: They they just write the check. Human Services. They got
25:10
Speaker 4: to clean out the whole bunch. They're the ones who
25:13
Speaker 4: enabled this fraud. How can you not look and say,
25:16
Speaker 4: wait a minute, this these two are registered at the
25:18
Speaker 4: same address.
25:19
Speaker 3: On top of all the childcare centers. That's just only
25:22
Speaker 3: a small piece of the fraud. What other fraud of
25:24
Speaker 3: the committee here in Minnesota?
25:26
Speaker 4: So another major piece of the fraud is the home
25:29
Speaker 4: healthcare industry. Where we're going now is a building that
25:35
Speaker 4: has fourteen Smaly owned home healthcare companies in the same building.
25:42
Speaker 3: Fourteen of the same healthcare companies in the one building.
25:45
Speaker 4: Fourteen home healthcare companies with different names in the same building.
25:48
Speaker 3: How bad has Tim Watz managed the budget here inside
25:51
Speaker 3: of Minnesota.
25:52
Speaker 4: So the last biennium we had an eighteen billion dollars surplus.
25:58
Speaker 4: This biennium we have a six billion dollar deficit. That's
26:04
Speaker 4: a twenty four billion dollars swing in one biennium. How
26:09
Speaker 4: in the world can you burn through twenty four billion
26:12
Speaker 4: dollars in two years. This is how right here. This
26:15
Speaker 4: is a huge part of it.
26:16
Speaker 3: And so would you say a lot of that is
26:18
Speaker 3: fraud that's taking place here in Minnesota.
26:20
Speaker 4: Absolutely, I would say better than ninety percent of it
26:24
Speaker 4: is absolute, outright fraud.
26:26
Speaker 3: And a large percentage of this fraud is from these
26:29
Speaker 3: healthcare companies that are charging the state millions of dollars
26:33
Speaker 3: while they actually aren't providing anything. In fact, the FBI
26:37
Speaker 3: just did a arrade a few days ago on a
26:39
Speaker 3: building similar to the one we were about to enter.
26:41
Speaker 3: Inside of this building, there were fourteen of nearly the
26:44
Speaker 3: exact same businesses offering the exact same services. Right here.
26:48
Speaker 3: You have a list of all of the healthcare companies,
26:52
Speaker 3: loads of them right here. We want healthcare, Yes, we'd
26:57
Speaker 3: like to speak about getting healthcare here? Why can I
26:59
Speaker 3: get here? Here? Warning? You are under video surveillance, no trespassing,
27:05
Speaker 3: security armed. This is the strangest place I've ever been
27:13
Speaker 3: to get healthcare. Just a bunch of different places. Healthcare here,
27:20
Speaker 3: healthcare here, another healthcare company right here. There are three
27:26
Speaker 3: healthcare companies inside of this building, right here, in this
27:29
Speaker 3: room of seven c Now we have another Helping Hands
27:34
Speaker 3: Homecare LLC, another healthcare company present help right here. We're
27:39
Speaker 3: looking for the best rates of healthcare here inside this
27:41
Speaker 3: building because we have so many options. Who can we
27:43
Speaker 3: talk about getting the best healthcare?
27:44
Speaker 5: I don't know.
27:46
Speaker 3: No, all right, we will not get any healthcare here, David.
27:51
Speaker 3: This is one of the stranger places I've ever been. Literally,
27:55
Speaker 3: healthcare every door you go to, yet nobody will give
27:58
Speaker 3: you a rate. How much money thinks funnel through this
28:00
Speaker 3: building every year?
28:03
Speaker 4: I would say fifty to sixty millions at least.
28:06
Speaker 3: And finally we were accepted into one of the daycare
28:08
Speaker 3: centers and they actually took down information to give us
28:11
Speaker 3: a rate. However, when we left, we were then met
28:14
Speaker 3: with the police. We received a complaint that tellen mentioning
28:18
Speaker 3: your description, we're in this building harassing the individuals who
28:22
Speaker 3: stay here. Oh, we're just seeing we're checking out the
28:24
Speaker 3: rates for healthcare because there's fourteen healthcare companies inside this building.
28:28
Speaker 4: So okay, he said, He said, there's fourteen companies here,
28:32
Speaker 4: and he's trying to assume because there's Somali providers that
28:34
Speaker 4: everyone to your stradulent.
28:35
Speaker 3: So we're gets here with some kind of like propaganda. No,
28:38
Speaker 3: we're just checking this is this is a area that
28:43
Speaker 3: we're allowed to enforce prespassing ordinance. Is there any other
28:45
Speaker 3: reason that you guys are here, Well, we are checking rates. No,
28:49
Speaker 3: we are checking rates. We asked for rates. Okay, I'm
28:53
Speaker 3: gonna have if you guys are good, we're gonna set
28:54
Speaker 3: out that and we all right, let's see. So all right,
28:57
Speaker 3: we're getting escorted out right now. The police arrived when
29:01
Speaker 3: we were checking out the rates, seeing what was happening
29:03
Speaker 3: inside this building. No one would really speak with us.
29:05
Speaker 3: We did go inside the one daycare center and she
29:07
Speaker 3: actually did give his rates for childcare. Much respect to
29:10
Speaker 3: that lady. What's the problem offs here? Well, so again
29:13
Speaker 3: we've been getting reports from there now multiple individuals that
29:16
Speaker 3: you guys were harassing individuals who are work here.
29:20
Speaker 4: At the end of the day.
29:21
Speaker 3: This is private property and it's one that people are
29:24
Speaker 3: allowed to ask.
29:24
Speaker 5: You to leave.
29:25
Speaker 2: And it's also in the Minneapolis Police Department is allowed
29:27
Speaker 2: to enforce trespassing ordinance at this address.
29:30
Speaker 3: Yeah, so as we got escorted out of this building,
29:33
Speaker 3: the Somali's filmed us as we left.
29:35
Speaker 1: And now the FBI director Cash Patel has come out
29:39
Speaker 1: and said, not only is the FBI aware of the
29:41
Speaker 1: recent social media reports in Minnesota, but he said even
29:44
Speaker 1: before the public conversation escalated online, the FBI had surged
29:50
Speaker 1: personnel and investigative resources to Minnesota to dismantle large scale
29:56
Speaker 1: fraud schemes. Is the way that he described it, fraud
30:00
Speaker 1: that steals from taxpayers and rob's vulnerable children. He then said,
30:05
Speaker 1: we'll remain a top FBI priority in Minnesota and nationwide.
30:10
Speaker 1: To date, he said the FBI dismantled a two hundred
30:12
Speaker 1: and fifty million dollar frauds game that stole federal food
30:16
Speaker 1: aid meant for vulnerable children during COVID. The investigation exposed
30:20
Speaker 1: sham vendors, shell companies, large scale money laundering tied to
30:24
Speaker 1: defeeding our future network. The case has not only led
30:28
Speaker 1: to seventy eight indictments in fifty seven convictions, but it
30:31
Speaker 1: had high profile defendants that were busted for fraud, money laundering,
30:36
Speaker 1: and conspiracy. He said these colonels didn't just engage in
30:40
Speaker 1: historic fraud, but try to subvert justice as well. He
30:44
Speaker 1: gave an example of Mohammed Nor and others that were
30:49
Speaker 1: charged for attending to bribe a juror with one hundred
30:51
Speaker 1: and twenty thousand dollars in cash. Those responsible pleaded guilty
30:56
Speaker 1: and were sentenced, including a ten year prison term in
30:59
Speaker 1: nearly four twenty eight million in restitution and related cases.
31:03
Speaker 1: He said, the FBI believes this is just the tip
31:05
Speaker 1: of a very large iceberg. We will continue to follow
31:09
Speaker 1: the money and protect children, and this investigation very much
31:13
Speaker 1: remains ongoing. Furthermore, many are also being referred to immigration
31:19
Speaker 1: officials for possible further denationalization and deportation proceedings where eligible.
31:27
Speaker 1: So it's clear not only is the President of United
31:30
Speaker 1: States of America ware of what's happening, but he has
31:33
Speaker 1: made sure that those are in charge of justice are
31:37
Speaker 1: fully involved in seeking it for every taxpayer that's been defrauded.
31:42
Speaker 1: Don't forget share this podcast please with your family and
31:45
Speaker 1: your friends whereover they are, and I will see you
31:49
Speaker 1: back here tomorrow
