A little bit about the fraud in the Festivust Report from Senator Rand Paul. He puts this out every year. Well, okay, some of it may not be fraud. They could be spending, you know, two million dollars on cocaine to give to the dogs for some scientific testing purpose. Not really sure what that would be. But although I did get a message from Mark about this. Actually yeah, here it is on Twitter. He says, you can blame the cost of the cocaine on Donald Trump. If he wasn't blowing up all those drug boats, it'd be a lot cheaper. That's probably true, Probably true, too good to check. That's more along the lines of waste. You know, there's waste, fraud, and abuse. So maybe maybe a little bit of abuse, maybe a little bit of waste or sorry, a little bit of fraud, but probably mostly waste for a lot of that spending, which brings us full circle back to the what are we calling this? By the way up in Minnesota, Eh, what are we calling the Is it Somaligate? I don't yeah, Somali Simolians? What are we calling it? Every good scandal, you know, needs a branding. So once that happens, I think then mainstream media will start paying attention to the story. But the governor of Minnesota, Tim Walls, he of the jazz and the very macho persona because he wore the camouflage hat that time in the campaign for vice president. This was a guy who was going to be vice president. Remember, this was the person that Kamala Harris elevated to the veep slot, which kind of made sense at the time because like he was such a buffoon. Tim Wallas, he's such a buffoon that, you know. You never, if you're the president, you never want your veep to be better than you. Right, It's kind of an insurance policy, you know, so people don't impeach you out of office. Because they're like, I don't want this person. The problem that Harris was facing was that she was the buffoon for Joe Biden, who was the buffoon for Obama. Right, so you had this lineage thing going there that you know, you got your you know Obama, Remember he beat Hillary Clinton, so he was sort of the blank slate, fresh faced guy, so he didn't he could pick whoever he wanted. So you don't want somebody that's gonna upstate, you enter Joe Biden obviously, right, So now you have Joe in there, old Joe, Sheriff, Joe whatever. And then you know, he comes back to run and then he's got to pick somebody, and he promised, you know, it would be a black woman. And so rather than pick anybody. Literally literally anybody other than her, he picks her Kamala Harris, because she couldn't even carry her home state. And that's again for an insurance purpose, like for Joe, like she's not a formidable opponent right to unseat him, as he's in mental decline, right, or cognitive decline. So then she has to pick somebody. And remember she had a couple of good options that were available to her, like Josh Shapiro, the popular Democrat governor of Pennsylvania. But problem for Shapiro. He's Jewish, Yeah. And that really didn't play very well, still doesn't probably in the Democrat Party, so had to pass him over for the. Buffoon of Tim Walls. Anyway, he has now. Responded to some of these stories that have gone viral based off of the the independent journalist YouTuber Nick Shirley, who went around to a bunch of these different Somali owned daycare centers, adult healthcare centers, and medical centers and transportation companies and such that are all just basically front operations. Right. I covered this in depth yesterday. I'm not going to go over all of the the ins and outs of it, but it's it's a pretty enormous scandal, costing hundreds of millions or billions of dollars. And it's not just these three types of businesses that I've listed. There are a bunch of others that actually has been pretty well known for somewhere in the neighborhood of a decade in Minnesota. Okay, because now after the Nick Shirley video went viral, now you're seeing all of these reporters and bloggers and journalists from Minnesota and elsewhere that have been saying that are saying, look, hey, we've been We've been sounding the alarm on this for over a decade, and nothing seems to ever get done. So at some point you have to start wondering why he hasn't anything been done. So. Tim Walls or, a spokesperson for Governor Jazz Hands, issued a defensive statement in the wake of the explosive video to Fox News, insisting that Walls has been cracking down on fraud. He's been doing this for years. He's been hiring auditors, shutting down programs, and supporting the prosecutions. Quote. The governor has worked for years to crack down on fraud and ask the state legislature for more authority to take aggressive action. He has strengthened oversight. Think about this. If this is what cracking down looks like, I would hate to see what ignoring it looks like. He has launched investigations into these specific facilities, one of which was already closed, right, which then, if they're talking about the leering center, not the learning center, the sign clearly said leering. It's a leering center. Not sure what that is, but the Leering Center. It was shut down and then it reopened by the same people at the same location, and then they got their money restored. So that's the kind of crackdown Governor jazz Hands is touting. The statement added that Walls has hired an outside firm to audit payments to high high risk programs, which is, by the way, like all fourteen of the types of programs that the state administers, like every one of the they call them the fraudy fourteen, and they're just these whole sectors. It's not like individual companies, it's like all of the companies inside of these agencies, all fourteen of these agencies at the state level high risk programs. So they say that he hired an outside firm to audit payments to high risk programs, shut down the Housing Stabilization Services program entirely because that was rife with fraud, announced a new statewide program integrity director. Oh yeah, so we can hire somebody, and supported criminal prosecutions. Then he posted a message on Twitter or somebody in his in the governor's office did highlighting the all of the positives of the state. So first he put out the statement, uh uh, we're cracking down, followed up by a tweet that says Minnesota's fantastic number eight state for safety, number five state to live in, number three state for germs, number two state to raise a family, and number two state to retire. We've made progress, but there's more to do to deliver security, opportunity, and freedom to every Minnesotan. I won't quit fighting until we're number one, to which Nick Shirley, the guy who did the video, he responded to that tweet saying number one for fraud. Why not list that in your accomplishments as well? Now? Governor Walls also spoke briefly about this scandal at a rally of some kind. And this is what happens when they target communities for their own benefit. This is what happens when they scapegoat, and this is what say happens when they no longer high the idea of white supremacy. So it's racism, which I said yesterday. That has been the shield that the Somali fraudsters and Democrats and media have been using in order to distract people or to intimidate people off. Of the story. This has been the common go to. I covered this a couple of weeks ago gave you the examples of the Somali organizations and lawmakers accusing others of racism, zenophobia, islamophobia, whatever, phobia for asking any questions whatsoever about any of this fraud. And now you've got Tim Walls saying the same thing. It's white supremacy to say, hey, where are all these billions of our dollars going? Shut up racist? That's the response. Like this is why I say they've grown intellectually flabby. You know, stories are powerful. They help us make sense of things, to understand experiences.

How do I say that? Why do I say that? Well, because they have been protected for a very long time in political debates on policy issues and such by a compliant or complicit or at very least friendly media apparatus. They rarely have to make their arguments in any other frame, especially in the last decade. Besides, you know, orange man bead Trump is hitler, but more so it's you know, systemic racism. You're a racist, You're a bigot, You're a fill in the blank of phobe. If you oppose this policy. I'm proposing this policy. It's for the children, it's for the poor, it's for the elderly, it's for the fill in the blank. And so if you oppose my policy, then that means you hate these people, right, And so what happens is this used to work. It no longer does. But what used to happen then is that Republicans would be afraid of, you know, responding to the policy arguments because they don't want to be called these terrible things. Nobody wants to be called these names, okay, But just like any word that you overuse, like six seven or whatever, it loses its impact. So at some point people start ignoring you when you call them these names. And that's where we are now. And what now remains is this inability because they are out of practice. Democrats are largely out of practice in making the arguments from a policy perspective, because let's face it, most people don't care about policy. They care about the teams, right, They care about the jerseys and are you on my team or you not on my team? So I don't need to know what the details of the policy are because that's hard. That means I have to read the bill. And remember John Conyer's I say read the bill. No one reads the bills, right, that's the problem. Nobody reads the bills. So the people who are up there defending a bill or opposing a bill, they don't actually know what's in the bill. They don't know what the impacts are going to be. And any bill that you write, any law that you pass, is going to have unintended consequences as well, things that you could not foresee. And that's always the case. As Thomas soul the great economist, said, there are no solutions, there are only trade offs, and nobody wants to talk about the trade offs. No one wants to acknowledge that their proposal may have a trade off. That it's not all unicorns and sunshine, right, No, this is going to solve the problem. And so here we have an example of this where Tim Walls, the governor of Minnesota, says that the reason why this is now exploded into the national dialogue is because of white supremacy, which is absurd. It's not white supremacy, it's fraud. It's got nothing to do with race. What it may have something to do with is a cultural norm that exists in Somalia. However, and pointing that out is not racist. It's not xenophobic, it's not islamophobic. It is reality. And I heard Nick Craig who was filling in for Vince Cochley earlier this morning, and he talked about this as well. And I've made this point also that so much time is wasted in these debates because Democrats spend so much time pretending that they don't understand a topic. They don't understand an argument, that you're making a position that you are, that you are arguing for something, and so they don't want to argue the merits of the argument. They try to I call it, you know, open up the escape patch and jump through. They want to bail from the argument, So call you some names. If that doesn't, if that doesn't move you off of your argument, you know, then it's like, well, I don't understand why you have to attack the smallise or whatever. You know, this ascribing of nefarious motive to their opponents rather than examining just the issue. What is the problem. The problem is we've got hundreds of millions or billions of dollars in fraud just in Minnesota, just in Minnesota, and now we're seeing people are now running these NGO grants through or they're checking the databases in their own states and loan behold, they're finding an over representation of Somali owned NGOs in various states, clustered in certain cities that are providing the very same kinds of services quote unquote that these uh, these operations in Minnesota have been providing and I don't believe they've been providing it. So are we supposed to just ignore all of the fraud and just continue to allow that to exist because the people conducting the fraud come from a particular country. That's absurd, that's nuts. We would not ignore it if a bunch of Russians were doing it, would we, of course not. So that's why I. Mean what I mean when they when I say that, they've become intellectually flabby, like they cannot argue on the merits of this case, so they're talking about other things like you're racist.

Of the discussion about what's going on up in Minnesota, and has been going on for quite a while, about ten years, and there have been reports about it for ten years, but for some reason they just can't figure it out. I mean the government, they can't figure out how to crack down on the fraud. I was sent this by Jason and it is a video by a instagrammer. I think she is of Indian heritage or ethnicity or nationality because she has a pretty thick accent. So I'll try to translates speaking in English, but it's a pretty thick accent. Her name is Kaviakritty and self described, you know, independent journalists and commentator and such. And she posts videos or whatever on the Instagram. And she mentioned I was not aware of this, but the same sort of fraud scandal occurred in Sweden. Somali's in Sweden did the same sort of thing. And she posted this three minute breakdown called inside the Somali corruption Machine, Ghost Children, Real Money. That's the name of this post. Hey, America, while you're debating whether elhan Omar married her brother for citizenship and watching every question about fraud deflected as hate or racism framing, this isn't just an American story. Did you know the same thing happened in Sweden? Somali born MPs and community leaders there cotton schemes, siphoning, over one hundred million from. Schools, welfare and public programs. In Minnesota, prosecutors say two hundred and fifty million men to feed hungry American children was stolen. The largest welfare fraud in US. Is sorry history, same patterns. Same community networks, same playbook, and everyone insists these are isolated incidents. So how do two countries four thousand miles apart end up with nearly identical fraud networks led by people from the exact same place. To understand that, you have to understand Somalia. You see, Somalia hasn't had a functioning government since nineteen ninety one. What filled the void? Clan? What filled the void? Is what she's saying there? What filled the void? They haven't had a government for thirty years? So what filled the void? Clans? Militias, warlords and aid cartels. Militias, warloads and aid cartels. Eight. Theft isn't on the margins. It is the system. Aid theft is the system, she says. It's not on the margin. When an investigation found diversion and all fifty five displacement cam surveyed, multiple reports documented up to seventy percent of food aid stolen or diverted. Investigations from twenty ten to twenty three repeatedly showed eight convoys, hijacked, taxed or resold, ghost beneficiaries, fake NGOs created. To siphon funds. Money doesn't flow through ministries. It flows through clans. You hear that. They siphon off the aid and it gets distributed through the clients, not through any kind of government ministry, because there is no government. Loyalty networks are greater than governance and plan leaders, controlled distributionists, ghost beneficiaries, and paperwork at the Hawala system. The Hawala system, right, the Hawala system is this money system, a monetary system where they move money around. This is why Al Schabab has been funded, the terrorist group Al Chebab has been funded with American tax dollars through this, As the US attorney pointed out a couple of weeks ago, because the Hawala system uses, you know, the security provided by Al Shabab, they get their cut. It's a terrorist organization. Brilliant for diaspora emittances, but perfect for untraceable money flows. All right, So that was kind of difficult to understand what she's saying there. Brilliant for diaspora remittances right, so diaspora meaning the people who were from Somalia, they are in the America now the diaspora, and they send money back to Somalia remittances. And that is perfect for untraceable money flows. Untraceable money flows, billions move outside Western oversight. This is Somalia's operating system, survival economics, built on exploitation, ghost paperwork, intimidation, and aid theft. Now drop that system into Western welfare state's built on trust, self reporting, and. Paperwork, and its scales. Diaspora networks recreated familiar structures. Minnesota wasn't ready for clan based accounting, Sweden wasn't built to track Hawala style flows, and social workers want trained to audit war economy fraud. Minnesota scandal wasn't a mistake. It was a blueprint. Sweden's wasn't random. Same methods, different country, bigger budgets. As the uncomfortable truth, Minnesota looks identical to all un scandals and Somalia ghost children, ghost beneficiaries, fake signatures, fake invoices, fake food, real money. Only difference in Somalia the money came from aid. In Minnesota and Sweden it comes from taxpayers. When a survival economy built on ad theft enters welfare systems, fraud isn't accidental. It's predictable. Do you hear what she's saying there? Which makes sense that a survival economy that Somalia has been for thirty years, that has been built on aid theft, when that system, when that cultural norm enters a welfare system like Minnesota or Sweden, well, fraud isn't a byproduct or it's not some you know, random accidental outcome. It's predictable. It should be known because this is what their system has been. So they're just taking the system that they use and they're bringing it here. Isn't accidental, it's predictable. Elan Oma won't tell you this because it collapses her narrative. These aren't isolated scandals, their warnings failed states don't stay contained. Their corruption systems travel, and if the West keeps treating this conversation as taboo, the losses won't stop by two hundred and fifty million. The stakes are far bigger than most are willing to admit. There you go. I was talking about this yesterday, that all cultures are not the same, and that all cultures are not quote equal in the benefits they provide to the people that live in those cultures and in the way that that cultural norm could be ported into a different cultural norm. There is conflict there. So there's a guy named Scott Johnson writing a power line blog. He, along with Bill Glon, Lou Ragus, and other members of the local Twin Cities media have been covering the massive public programs fraud committed by a large cast of almost exclusively Somali perpetrators for quite a while. He says, for. Those just tuning in, Bill Glon points out, just to take one example, that kstp's j Coles knocked on alleged daycare doors in January of twenty twenty five. So this local reporter did exactly what Nick Shirley just did. The Shirley video implies that something must be done, an investigation must be conducted, perpetrators must be held to account. This implication does a disservice to what has been done by the federal authorities to date. Though I pointed this out as well yesterday. There have been prosecutions the FBI and the DOJ. Local media there are aware of this. This is not a new thing. It just exploded into the national consciousness over the weekend because of this video. The FBI executed search warrants. For example, US Attorney brought an initial set of charges back in July and in September. At that September press conference, the then Acting US Attorney Joe Thompson all but shouted the point from the rooftop, Minnesota is drowning in fraud. He's telling people to wake up. The FBI and the US Attorney have been on the case on this since twenty twenty one. In fact, I saw a clip of former WBT host former Congressman from Minnesota Jason Lewis, talking about this in a twenty eighteen hearing, and he was citing fraud from twenty fourteen. Again not new Surveillance footage from a state fraud case prosecuted in twenty eighteen shows that purported daycare centers linked to Somali immigrants in Minnesota were involved in fraud schemes as early as twenty fifteen. Video recorded outside one of these facilities in Minneapolis shows parents entering to drop off their kids and then leaving with them minutes later. They have the footage the kids are not going to the daycare. The ten year old news report was shared on social media this week as Minnesota faces more fraud accusations. Fox nine reported that in twenty fifteen, four purported daycare centers in Minneapolis were accused of billing the government even though children were not present at the facilities. Another video from inside a facility shows a guy handing an envelope to what appears to be a parent of Somali descent, And as we covered a couple of weeks ago, we knew this to be the case as well, because the US attorney says that the parents were in on it. They're all part of this cultural norm, this war economy. The parents get the kickbacks. The parents bring their kids there, they get the envelope of cash, and they leave. They're not actually sending the kids to the daycare. They're getting paid to register. That's why they got paid to register their kids as autistic. The Somali population is like the most autistic population of children in Minneapolis. Why, because you get funding in state and federal grants if you go to these autism centers, which once again don't actually provide any services. The parents get paid to do that. And then the parents started shaking down the services quote unquote services the fronts. They started shaking down the front saying you need to pay me more. I'm gonna go over to this other place and they're gonna because they're promising me twelve hundred dollars a month. It's a mess. It is an absolute mess. Four people were taken into custody back in twenty fifteen after police search these fraudulent daycare centers. Two of those arrested took play deals and admitted to felony theft. As part of the plea deal, the state agreed not to pursue further charges against anybody else. If you're not going to punish the people for doing it, they're going to keep doing it. Why wouldn't they? All Right, if you're listening to this show, you know I try to keep up with all sorts of current events, and I know you do too, and you've probably heard me say get your news from multiple sources.

This is John Solomon's publication justthnews dot com reporting that US District Judge Vince Chahabria shabriyah. I think that's how he pronounces that ruled that ice. Well, I mean he's got two h's there c h h A b ri a. Do you just ignore one h? Is it just Chabria Chabria or Chahabria anyway? Uh? Judge Vince ruled that ICE officials can access six categories of basic personal information. Those six categories would be address, citizenship, immigration status, phone number, date of birth, and Medicaid I d ICE officials can access those six categories. This ruling came yesterday, says the Trump administration can share medicaid information pertaining to illegal migrants with Immigration and Customs enforcement officers. This will begin next month, so day after tomorrow, ICE will be able to use the information that is in the federal government databases in order to deport people. Which is weird because I thought, I thought nobody was if you were a legal immigrant, you weren't getting medicaid, right, Wasn't that? Wasn't that? That's what we've been told that the it's not happening phase of the phases that start with it's not happening, and then Okay, it's happening, but it's very rare, and then okay, find it's happening, but here's why it's a good thing. So we've now accepted the fact that the it's not happening phase is over, right, that that phase is over. It is happening. I guess now we are at the phase where it's happening, but it's not happening a lot. Okay, well, it's not happening a lot, but it shouldn't be happening at all. And so therefore ICE is going to start utilizing the information. If you're here illegally and you're getting medicaid benefits, they're going to use that information to now find you and get you out of the country. So you might want to. Take up the government's offer of a fleet free plane ride and three thousand dollars to go back to your nation of origin, to go back to your home country, which, by the way, I saw a proposal if you are here claiming asylum, right, And this is what Joe Biden's Department of Homeland Security did. They they allowed, you know, ten fifteen million people to come in. They gave them just mass asylum status approval for their asylum claims, which is illegal. You're supposed to do that on a case by case basis. But Alejandro Mayorkis, the Secretary of Homeland Security at the time, just gave them all, just approved everybody in violation of the law. But he was never held accountable for that, as nobody ever is apparently. So if you go back to your home country and you're an asylum seeker. Okay. So if you come into America illegally, cross the border, turn yourself over. This this was how the operations would run. They would you know, the cartels would would traffic people across the border. And then you dial into the CBP one app, you file your asylum claim and no, I'm approved immediately, look at me. Now, I'm an assyl ee, right, Okay. If you go back to your home country for a case, visit family, and then return to America as an assylie, still you're not an asylum secret at that point, because asylum means you're leaving your home country because you're going to be persecuted, fear of death right. That's why you leave and seek asylum, and that's why you would leave and seek asylum at the first possible border that you could get to. Right. So, if you're like way down in South America, you have like a dozen countries you're passing through before you come to America to claim asylum. You could claim asylum in any one of those other countries, but you're not. You're going through all of those countries to get to America. Then claiming asylum, you get it and then you're going back home to the place that is so dangerous you had to flee. You're going back home for like Christmas vacation. No, anybody who goes back to their home country as an asyle should not be permitted back in. I think that's a pretty fair policy because it obviously proves that you're not worried about persecution. Why would you go back there? Right, And with this new ruling from the US District Judge Vince, what this new ruling means is, now you've got all of these people who may have been engaged in some of the fraud going on in Minnesota and Seattle, apparently in Oregon and these other states. We have your information now and ICE can use that information. ICE is now going to start cross referencing all of your medicaid provider services, like all of the billing, all of these outfits, these front companies that you guys have set up. You gave all of your personal information to file the paperwork, and now ICE has it. These are the ramifications of your decisions. So once again I would recommend take the plane ticket, take the three thousand dollars stipend, and go back to your own country, all right, that'll do it for this episode.
