You're in high demand on. 44 00:02:00,720 --> 00:02:04,480 Speaker 4: The Somalia fraud issue, and we did not know when 45 00:02:04,480 --> 00:02:06,880 Speaker 4: we booked you that we were also going to be 46 00:02:07,040 --> 00:02:09,920 Speaker 4: welcomed by the news that Tim Waltz is deciding not 47 00:02:10,040 --> 00:02:14,320 Speaker 4: to run for reelection. What is the story behind the 48 00:02:14,320 --> 00:02:15,160 Speaker 4: story here, Liz. 49 00:02:15,400 --> 00:02:18,000 Speaker 6: Yeah, you guys, these last few weeks been a bit 50 00:02:18,040 --> 00:02:20,680 Speaker 6: of a whirlwind in Minnesota. You could certainly say that 51 00:02:21,200 --> 00:02:26,000 Speaker 6: with News and Politics, no doubt. Governor Tim Walls making 52 00:02:26,040 --> 00:02:29,240 Speaker 6: it official actually just about an hour ago here that 53 00:02:29,320 --> 00:02:32,960 Speaker 6: he will not seek reelection to a third term as governor. 54 00:02:33,080 --> 00:02:36,880 Speaker 6: There have been many political scandals on his watch. We've 55 00:02:36,880 --> 00:02:39,920 Speaker 6: been detailing all of them, but this billion dollar fraud 56 00:02:39,960 --> 00:02:43,240 Speaker 6: scheme seemed to be the last straw in his case. 57 00:02:43,360 --> 00:02:46,800 Speaker 6: Nine billion dollars in all and counting. We now have 58 00:02:47,000 --> 00:02:51,639 Speaker 6: multiple federal investigations going on here in Minnesota. And yeah, 59 00:02:51,639 --> 00:02:54,519 Speaker 6: compared to mainstream media, I think we've been one of 60 00:02:54,560 --> 00:02:57,320 Speaker 6: the very few, is certainly the most prominent in the 61 00:02:57,360 --> 00:03:00,200 Speaker 6: state of Minnesota criticizing that the governor. We have been 62 00:03:00,280 --> 00:03:03,760 Speaker 6: for several years with our exclusive reporting. But we even 63 00:03:03,800 --> 00:03:06,360 Speaker 6: showed up at that press conference today, our photo journalist, 64 00:03:06,960 --> 00:03:09,320 Speaker 6: which it's really difficult to even call it a press conference, 65 00:03:09,360 --> 00:03:11,480 Speaker 6: you guys, but Governor Walls took no questions at all. 66 00:03:12,040 --> 00:03:13,920 Speaker 6: Alf News tried to get into the room, but we 67 00:03:13,919 --> 00:03:17,000 Speaker 6: were told we were not on the list, so we 68 00:03:17,040 --> 00:03:17,400 Speaker 6: could not. 69 00:03:18,280 --> 00:03:18,800 Speaker 5: The governor. 70 00:03:18,880 --> 00:03:21,639 Speaker 6: It's been years now since they've even responded to our 71 00:03:21,680 --> 00:03:24,840 Speaker 6: requests for comment on any story. But really just a 72 00:03:24,840 --> 00:03:28,800 Speaker 6: bizarre situation. If any of your viewers. We're seeing this 73 00:03:29,160 --> 00:03:32,639 Speaker 6: at all play out on X you have walls coming off. 74 00:03:32,800 --> 00:03:35,160 Speaker 6: I think quite angry. I think that's fair to say. 75 00:03:35,200 --> 00:03:38,080 Speaker 6: He talked about how he was supposedly fighting fraud for 76 00:03:38,120 --> 00:03:40,800 Speaker 6: his last seven years in office, which came off as 77 00:03:40,800 --> 00:03:42,840 Speaker 6: a bit of a surprise to any of us paying attention, 78 00:03:43,480 --> 00:03:47,800 Speaker 6: basically blaming Republicans and President Trump for all of this. 79 00:03:48,480 --> 00:03:51,880 Speaker 6: Referring to Nick Shirley's viral video, which got an awful 80 00:03:51,920 --> 00:03:55,760 Speaker 6: lot of attention, called that a right wing YouTuber and 81 00:03:56,440 --> 00:03:58,320 Speaker 6: Nick Shirley was breaking into daycares. 82 00:03:58,520 --> 00:03:59,640 Speaker 5: We have that we have. 83 00:03:59,720 --> 00:04:03,560 Speaker 7: That's let's play it real quick. Let's play one seventy nine. 84 00:04:03,960 --> 00:04:08,840 Speaker 8: We've got conspiracy theorist, right wing YouTubers breaking into our daycares, 85 00:04:09,320 --> 00:04:13,840 Speaker 8: demanding access to our children. We've got the President of 86 00:04:13,880 --> 00:04:19,400 Speaker 8: the United States demonizing our Somali neighbors and wrongfully confiscating 87 00:04:19,480 --> 00:04:24,320 Speaker 8: funds that Minnesotans rely on. It's disgusting and it's dangerous. 88 00:04:24,760 --> 00:04:26,800 Speaker 7: Now what comes to mind for me, Liz, is he 89 00:04:26,839 --> 00:04:28,680 Speaker 7: can talk a big game there, he can say that, 90 00:04:28,800 --> 00:04:32,360 Speaker 7: yet I feel like nothing confirms all of the theories 91 00:04:32,400 --> 00:04:36,679 Speaker 7: and allegations going on in Minnesota. More than the fact 92 00:04:37,120 --> 00:04:41,120 Speaker 7: Governor Wallace realizes I can't fix this in the eleven 93 00:04:41,320 --> 00:04:44,320 Speaker 7: in the ten months till the next election, I have 94 00:04:44,400 --> 00:04:47,720 Speaker 7: to drop out to give us a shot in this race. 95 00:04:47,760 --> 00:04:49,839 Speaker 7: That seems like the greatest confirmation of all that there's 96 00:04:49,839 --> 00:04:52,560 Speaker 7: a gigantic scandal here. 97 00:04:52,600 --> 00:04:53,000 Speaker 1: Correct. 98 00:04:53,480 --> 00:04:55,599 Speaker 6: Yeah, I mean I think Blake pretty but paying attention, 99 00:04:55,640 --> 00:04:58,920 Speaker 6: it certainly seems that that way that with what he's 100 00:04:58,960 --> 00:05:01,240 Speaker 6: saying now, it's almost kind of opposite day. But we 101 00:05:01,279 --> 00:05:05,800 Speaker 6: see that message again and again from the Governor's office. 102 00:05:05,839 --> 00:05:08,760 Speaker 6: But you have some interesting maneuvering happening behind the scenes. 103 00:05:08,839 --> 00:05:11,320 Speaker 6: And this is something we've been monitoring for months now. 104 00:05:11,880 --> 00:05:15,440 Speaker 6: Even when Governor Walls announced in September that he would 105 00:05:15,480 --> 00:05:18,360 Speaker 6: run for reelection for a third term, many were very 106 00:05:18,360 --> 00:05:22,000 Speaker 6: surprised by that with all of the baggage that he 107 00:05:22,160 --> 00:05:26,120 Speaker 6: carries in the state. But now it seems that it 108 00:05:26,880 --> 00:05:29,000 Speaker 6: seems to be more and more truthful now and this 109 00:05:29,040 --> 00:05:31,159 Speaker 6: is something we were hearing months ago that Senator Amy 110 00:05:31,200 --> 00:05:35,680 Speaker 6: Klobashar will in fact be running for Minnesota governor. And 111 00:05:35,720 --> 00:05:38,760 Speaker 6: then you have perhaps some backroom dealing going on that 112 00:05:38,839 --> 00:05:43,520 Speaker 6: Walls would then be appointed to her Senate seat because 113 00:05:43,520 --> 00:05:46,720 Speaker 6: She is not up for reelection until twenty thirty one, 114 00:05:47,839 --> 00:05:49,600 Speaker 6: so there would be a special election in twenty eight 115 00:05:49,600 --> 00:05:52,960 Speaker 6: but Walls would have some sort of swap out until then. 116 00:05:53,200 --> 00:05:55,839 Speaker 6: This is all just sort of speculative at this point, 117 00:05:55,640 --> 00:05:59,960 Speaker 6: but many of these Democrats, one could say that, you know, 118 00:06:00,160 --> 00:06:02,560 Speaker 6: fraud has been happening on the watch of many Democrats 119 00:06:02,800 --> 00:06:06,880 Speaker 6: here in Minnesota. It's been twenty years now since there 120 00:06:06,960 --> 00:06:10,040 Speaker 6: was a statewide office held by a Republican in Minnesota. 121 00:06:10,560 --> 00:06:12,839 Speaker 6: But they've been all very quiet. You did not see 122 00:06:12,839 --> 00:06:15,640 Speaker 6: anybody really going to bat, if you will, for Governor 123 00:06:15,680 --> 00:06:19,120 Speaker 6: Walls for these many weeks and months, and sometimes you 124 00:06:19,160 --> 00:06:22,520 Speaker 6: know that silence speaks louder than anything else. 125 00:06:22,960 --> 00:06:26,880 Speaker 5: So you know, this seems to be the first shoe 126 00:06:26,920 --> 00:06:27,480 Speaker 5: to drop. 127 00:06:27,880 --> 00:06:31,080 Speaker 4: And this swap out idea is fascinating because I could 128 00:06:31,080 --> 00:06:34,000 Speaker 4: I could actually see that really coming to bear here. 129 00:06:34,040 --> 00:06:37,760 Speaker 4: But the question then becomes where is accountability? So you've 130 00:06:37,760 --> 00:06:41,839 Speaker 4: been doing the research and the investigations here, Liz in Minnesota. 131 00:06:41,880 --> 00:06:45,359 Speaker 4: Who is most responsible? Obviously the buck stops with the 132 00:06:45,400 --> 00:06:47,960 Speaker 4: guy at the top, But it seems like this fraud 133 00:06:48,000 --> 00:06:51,599 Speaker 4: has you have to have so many people turn a 134 00:06:51,640 --> 00:06:54,760 Speaker 4: blind eye to allow the fraud to go this long, 135 00:06:55,160 --> 00:06:59,120 Speaker 4: this large, this widespread, Who needs to be held accountable? 136 00:06:59,120 --> 00:06:59,400 Speaker 5: Next? 137 00:07:00,000 --> 00:07:02,360 Speaker 6: I think it's a great point Andrew. In many ways, 138 00:07:02,600 --> 00:07:05,159 Speaker 6: this this fraud is almost baked into the legislation that 139 00:07:05,200 --> 00:07:08,320 Speaker 6: we see passed again and again at the state capital 140 00:07:08,360 --> 00:07:12,240 Speaker 6: with these NGOs, these nonprofits that are formed. I'll just 141 00:07:12,360 --> 00:07:15,200 Speaker 6: highlight some recent reporting over at Elphinews within the last 142 00:07:15,280 --> 00:07:19,120 Speaker 6: few months, but a transportation company paid millions of dollars 143 00:07:19,240 --> 00:07:23,320 Speaker 6: over what the Minneapolis School District was allowing. We find 144 00:07:23,320 --> 00:07:26,280 Speaker 6: that these vans are either sitting for months on end, 145 00:07:26,520 --> 00:07:30,840 Speaker 6: or in fact they're driving around town without any passengers 146 00:07:30,880 --> 00:07:33,800 Speaker 6: in them at all. A Somali owned company, several small 147 00:07:33,800 --> 00:07:36,920 Speaker 6: owned companies working for the Minneapolis School District. Well, it 148 00:07:36,920 --> 00:07:39,200 Speaker 6: turns out that there is some legislation passed in twenty 149 00:07:39,240 --> 00:07:42,840 Speaker 6: twenty three under a DFL trifecta so controlled by Democrats, 150 00:07:43,440 --> 00:07:47,680 Speaker 6: that basically one hundred percent, one hundred percent of the 151 00:07:47,720 --> 00:07:51,400 Speaker 6: reimbursement that is submitted to the federal government will go 152 00:07:51,920 --> 00:07:55,600 Speaker 6: to the district and those companies. And what are the 153 00:07:55,640 --> 00:07:58,480 Speaker 6: monitoring systems put in place for these you know, so 154 00:07:58,600 --> 00:08:01,160 Speaker 6: called rides and service This is all of a sudden 155 00:08:01,960 --> 00:08:05,239 Speaker 6: assigned to what they consider the homeless and highly mobile 156 00:08:05,280 --> 00:08:07,880 Speaker 6: population in Minneapolis. So what do we see all of 157 00:08:07,920 --> 00:08:10,360 Speaker 6: a sudden, there's a forty percent spike in homeless kids 158 00:08:10,760 --> 00:08:13,520 Speaker 6: in Minneapolis. So when you really take a look at 159 00:08:13,560 --> 00:08:15,600 Speaker 6: a lot of this, the math certainly does not add up, 160 00:08:15,600 --> 00:08:18,160 Speaker 6: but has not been for years. But we continue to 161 00:08:18,280 --> 00:08:21,480 Speaker 6: detail those stories over at ELPHA News from whistleblowers who've 162 00:08:21,480 --> 00:08:25,360 Speaker 6: been trying to bring this to the attention of prosecutors 163 00:08:25,840 --> 00:08:29,160 Speaker 6: of authorities for such a long time. I've interviewed recently 164 00:08:29,200 --> 00:08:32,440 Speaker 6: just a TSA agent who detailed her time at the 165 00:08:32,480 --> 00:08:35,800 Speaker 6: airport here how she would watch millions of dollars in 166 00:08:35,960 --> 00:08:39,040 Speaker 6: cash and carry on luggage be flown out of MSP 167 00:08:39,600 --> 00:08:42,719 Speaker 6: on a weekly basis by a couple of US Somali men, 168 00:08:42,840 --> 00:08:47,400 Speaker 6: sometimes the same, sometimes different. And this was also cooperated 169 00:08:47,440 --> 00:08:50,680 Speaker 6: by a former HSI agent who I then interviewed, who 170 00:08:50,720 --> 00:08:54,000 Speaker 6: talked about how again and again they would present these 171 00:08:54,080 --> 00:08:58,640 Speaker 6: cases to the US Attorney's office back then and there 172 00:08:58,640 --> 00:09:03,000 Speaker 6: would be no prosecution at all, no charges. Very similar 173 00:09:03,080 --> 00:09:05,280 Speaker 6: with congress Woman il Han Omar, we're hearing a lot 174 00:09:05,480 --> 00:09:08,560 Speaker 6: about her again as President Trump continues to bring her 175 00:09:08,720 --> 00:09:11,679 Speaker 6: up but marrying her brother, the fact that there are 176 00:09:11,720 --> 00:09:15,160 Speaker 6: questions if she's even a US citizen. But so much 177 00:09:15,200 --> 00:09:19,240 Speaker 6: of this, you know, has been reported before and not 178 00:09:19,280 --> 00:09:22,720 Speaker 6: by the mainstream media. The mainstream media is very complicit 179 00:09:22,800 --> 00:09:23,400 Speaker 6: in Minnesota. 180 00:09:23,440 --> 00:09:23,640 Speaker 9: I know. 181 00:09:23,679 --> 00:09:24,319 Speaker 5: You guys know that. 182 00:09:24,840 --> 00:09:27,719 Speaker 6: No that well with you know, perhaps the focus being 183 00:09:27,760 --> 00:09:30,280 Speaker 6: more on what they do not report than what they do. 184 00:09:30,520 --> 00:09:35,360 Speaker 6: And the Minnesota Star Tribune, Minnesota's largest newspaper, is run 185 00:09:35,480 --> 00:09:39,320 Speaker 6: by a former Commissioner of Governor Tim Walls. 186 00:09:40,040 --> 00:09:43,880 Speaker 4: Yeah, the Star Tribune has really just been exposed as 187 00:09:43,880 --> 00:09:44,920 Speaker 4: a total It's. 188 00:09:44,760 --> 00:09:47,720 Speaker 7: Been so great where they've been like they initially said, 189 00:09:47,760 --> 00:09:50,240 Speaker 7: this is over you know, this is overreacting, there's nothing 190 00:09:50,240 --> 00:09:51,920 Speaker 7: to see here, and then yeah, as it becomes real, 191 00:09:51,960 --> 00:09:54,160 Speaker 7: they've had to pivot to Actually, we've been covering this 192 00:09:54,440 --> 00:09:58,000 Speaker 7: for years.

I want to play this 226 00:11:49,280 --> 00:11:52,760 Speaker 4: clip of President Trump just went to just went ham 227 00:11:53,000 --> 00:11:58,360 Speaker 4: on ilhan Omar in the Somali pirates play cut three, So. 228 00:11:58,520 --> 00:12:01,480 Speaker 5: Maria up, pilots pirates. 229 00:12:02,280 --> 00:12:04,720 Speaker 1: But what they are doing is they're stealing money from 230 00:12:04,760 --> 00:12:08,080 Speaker 1: the American taxpayer, and every one of them should be 231 00:12:08,120 --> 00:12:12,000 Speaker 1: forced to leave this country, including ill hand Omar, who's 232 00:12:12,040 --> 00:12:14,600 Speaker 1: a total trip. And we're not gonna pay it anymore. 233 00:12:15,080 --> 00:12:18,600 Speaker 5: We're gonna have Waltz GOP paid. We're not gonna pay them. 234 00:12:19,880 --> 00:12:22,520 Speaker 4: Waltz needs to pay Trump just I mean, we can dream, 235 00:12:22,760 --> 00:12:25,840 Speaker 4: we can dream. Liz Trump, I think is echoing the 236 00:12:25,880 --> 00:12:28,800 Speaker 4: sentiment of a lot of Americans that we feel where 237 00:12:28,960 --> 00:12:31,440 Speaker 4: we don't understand why we had to take in hundreds 238 00:12:31,440 --> 00:12:33,920 Speaker 4: of thousands of somalions from a culture that doesn't share 239 00:12:33,960 --> 00:12:37,640 Speaker 4: our values, doesn't assimilate very easily or seamlessly, and now 240 00:12:37,640 --> 00:12:39,160 Speaker 4: we find out they're defrauding us. 241 00:12:40,080 --> 00:12:42,000 Speaker 5: What can be done? 242 00:12:42,000 --> 00:12:46,360 Speaker 4: And if you've investigated this as far as deportations, there's 243 00:12:46,400 --> 00:12:48,840 Speaker 4: a new report, Liz just broke. I just saw it, 244 00:12:48,880 --> 00:12:50,680 Speaker 4: so I don't expect you to know about it that 245 00:12:50,760 --> 00:12:55,320 Speaker 4: even local Hilton hotels and Hampton Inns in the Minnesota 246 00:12:55,720 --> 00:13:00,000 Speaker 4: or the Minneapolis area are declining ICE agents and DHS 247 00:13:00,120 --> 00:13:04,800 Speaker 4: officers from getting hotel rooms because of the assumption is 248 00:13:04,800 --> 00:13:08,200 Speaker 4: they're working to deport Somali's what can be done in 249 00:13:08,200 --> 00:13:10,680 Speaker 4: that regard and what are people on the ground saying. 250 00:13:10,920 --> 00:13:12,840 Speaker 6: Yeah, you know, I actually did did see that report, 251 00:13:12,840 --> 00:13:15,720 Speaker 6: and I was able to actually ride along with ICE 252 00:13:15,880 --> 00:13:17,760 Speaker 6: just a couple of months ago. And this is how 253 00:13:17,800 --> 00:13:19,920 Speaker 6: deep this all runs, you guys. I think this story 254 00:13:19,960 --> 00:13:23,240 Speaker 6: is a good example. But I accompanied them on a 255 00:13:23,320 --> 00:13:25,760 Speaker 6: ride along for a news story and they talked about 256 00:13:25,800 --> 00:13:30,280 Speaker 6: just the growing frustration they have with Minnesota, how difficult 257 00:13:30,320 --> 00:13:34,160 Speaker 6: their job is because you have so few counties in 258 00:13:34,200 --> 00:13:37,280 Speaker 6: the state that cooperate with ICE. So instead of you know, 259 00:13:37,320 --> 00:13:42,240 Speaker 6: doing these pickups at jails and prisons in Minnesota. Instead 260 00:13:42,280 --> 00:13:44,720 Speaker 6: they have to go out into neighborhoods where they are 261 00:13:44,880 --> 00:13:48,199 Speaker 6: met by these activists. And in fact, the Star Tribune 262 00:13:48,840 --> 00:13:52,720 Speaker 6: has a live reporting feed where they go ahead and 263 00:13:52,760 --> 00:13:55,440 Speaker 6: blast out where Ice is going to be next. So 264 00:13:55,440 --> 00:13:58,800 Speaker 6: this has been going on now for months in Minnesota. 265 00:13:58,880 --> 00:13:59,920 Speaker 5: But we went out starts. 266 00:14:01,320 --> 00:14:04,240 Speaker 6: Yes, they actually are basically promoting this where Ice is 267 00:14:04,280 --> 00:14:06,840 Speaker 6: going to be so they can be met by activists. 268 00:14:06,880 --> 00:14:09,760 Speaker 6: But during our ride along, we picked up a former 269 00:14:09,800 --> 00:14:13,679 Speaker 6: Minnesota state employee who was being paid six figures this 270 00:14:13,800 --> 00:14:17,360 Speaker 6: by the state. Had worked for two different agencies and 271 00:14:17,960 --> 00:14:20,960 Speaker 6: turns out was a convicted felon and it was was 272 00:14:21,040 --> 00:14:24,880 Speaker 6: hired anyway and now faces deportation. And that was a 273 00:14:24,920 --> 00:14:28,040 Speaker 6: story that we documented for elfin News. But but again 274 00:14:28,080 --> 00:14:30,840 Speaker 6: you see this kind of at every turn, sort of 275 00:14:30,880 --> 00:14:35,080 Speaker 6: this radical leftism that has taken hold in many agencies. 276 00:14:35,760 --> 00:14:37,760 Speaker 6: And you know, I think that you know that that's 277 00:14:37,800 --> 00:14:40,280 Speaker 6: a perfect example of something that has been playing out 278 00:14:40,280 --> 00:14:40,800 Speaker 6: here as well. 279 00:14:41,560 --> 00:14:44,240 Speaker 7: It's really interesting. Minnesota used to just be this very 280 00:14:44,920 --> 00:14:46,600 Speaker 7: let's say, it was probably one of the best run 281 00:14:46,640 --> 00:14:48,760 Speaker 7: blue states. It was a desirable one and you look 282 00:14:48,760 --> 00:14:51,400 Speaker 7: at the map and we well know that people are 283 00:14:51,400 --> 00:14:55,440 Speaker 7: fleeing California, fleeing Illinois, fleeing New York. But actually there's 284 00:14:55,440 --> 00:14:57,760 Speaker 7: a lot of domestic out migration out of Minnesota. 285 00:14:57,800 --> 00:14:58,000 Speaker 1: Now. 286 00:14:58,040 --> 00:15:01,840 Speaker 7: People they can sense that it's going south. I wanted 287 00:15:01,920 --> 00:15:03,200 Speaker 7: this is a bit of a swerve, but I thought 288 00:15:03,200 --> 00:15:04,880 Speaker 7: you might have some thought on this. It just seems 289 00:15:04,920 --> 00:15:07,880 Speaker 7: like every program in Minnesota very quickly can become this 290 00:15:07,920 --> 00:15:10,600 Speaker 7: feeding frenzy for fraud. I know, you guys have a 291 00:15:10,720 --> 00:15:13,920 Speaker 7: new paid leave law that just came into play. They 292 00:15:13,960 --> 00:15:16,320 Speaker 7: added to their own they added their own payroll tax 293 00:15:16,360 --> 00:15:18,000 Speaker 7: to the state on top of what you pay for Medicare, 294 00:15:18,040 --> 00:15:21,440 Speaker 7: Social Security for paid leave, and you're eligible for it. 295 00:15:21,480 --> 00:15:24,200 Speaker 7: If you are self employed, you can join into it. 296 00:15:24,600 --> 00:15:27,520 Speaker 7: You can get a maximum of twenty weeks of family 297 00:15:27,600 --> 00:15:30,680 Speaker 7: or medical leave. And so it seems to me like 298 00:15:30,720 --> 00:15:33,520 Speaker 7: this is going to obviously present people an opportunity to 299 00:15:33,560 --> 00:15:37,200 Speaker 7: incorporate a self employed business, declare that they're paying themselves 300 00:15:37,240 --> 00:15:39,320 Speaker 7: a certain salary. He feels like, and then you yeah, 301 00:15:39,360 --> 00:15:40,880 Speaker 7: and then you go on. You go on your leave 302 00:15:40,920 --> 00:15:43,480 Speaker 7: for long COVID or whatever. You know your family member 303 00:15:43,520 --> 00:15:46,040 Speaker 7: is sick, or you have any one of your four 304 00:15:46,080 --> 00:15:48,920 Speaker 7: wives and infinite possible claims, and you can get a 305 00:15:48,960 --> 00:15:51,520 Speaker 7: maximum of twenty weeks of leave a year. Fourteen hundred 306 00:15:51,520 --> 00:15:53,360 Speaker 7: dollars a week is what the state will pay, So 307 00:15:53,400 --> 00:15:56,520 Speaker 7: that's twenty eight thousand a year. Am I reading this right, Liz? 308 00:15:56,840 --> 00:15:58,840 Speaker 6: Yeah, No, you're absolutely right, Blake, Blake, And that's what 309 00:15:58,880 --> 00:16:00,520 Speaker 6: I was talking about, just sort of how this is 310 00:16:00,560 --> 00:16:03,600 Speaker 6: baked into the legislation. In fact, people are actually calling 311 00:16:03,640 --> 00:16:06,960 Speaker 6: on just a forensic audit overall of the Minnesota state 312 00:16:07,000 --> 00:16:08,640 Speaker 6: budget at this point. I think there are five or 313 00:16:08,680 --> 00:16:13,000 Speaker 6: six federal investigations now ongoing in Minnesota, and I think 314 00:16:13,040 --> 00:16:15,080 Speaker 6: they will be taking a look at a lot of this. 315 00:16:15,800 --> 00:16:21,800 Speaker 6: Republicans certainly have been raising alarms surrounding this new law 316 00:16:21,920 --> 00:16:25,560 Speaker 6: that just went into to affect January first. You had 317 00:16:25,600 --> 00:16:28,520 Speaker 6: Governor Walls in this so called I guess press conference 318 00:16:28,520 --> 00:16:30,280 Speaker 6: today talking about how he's going to be back out 319 00:16:30,280 --> 00:16:32,600 Speaker 6: in front of cameras tomorrow talking about how great this 320 00:16:33,040 --> 00:16:36,840 Speaker 6: new law is, and there are many questions about fraud. 321 00:16:36,920 --> 00:16:39,640 Speaker 6: Already thousands of people have been approved for this and 322 00:16:39,680 --> 00:16:42,880 Speaker 6: speaking with small business owners, whether it's COVID or other 323 00:16:42,920 --> 00:16:45,320 Speaker 6: mandates that were put in place on small business owners 324 00:16:45,480 --> 00:16:49,240 Speaker 6: in Minnesota. They have expressed a serious alarm. The Chamber 325 00:16:49,280 --> 00:16:54,240 Speaker 6: of Commerce, many departments came out against passing this. But again, 326 00:16:54,320 --> 00:16:58,640 Speaker 6: this has been a Democrat controlled state for such a 327 00:16:58,680 --> 00:17:01,040 Speaker 6: long time. You're right that tens of thousands of people 328 00:17:01,520 --> 00:17:06,359 Speaker 6: have fled the state at this point, but Governor Walls, 329 00:17:06,400 --> 00:17:09,160 Speaker 6: in the last seven years, it's really hard to understate, 330 00:17:09,960 --> 00:17:13,400 Speaker 6: you know, how much has happened here, whether it's defunding 331 00:17:13,640 --> 00:17:17,399 Speaker 6: the police, a lot of these mandates on small businesses, 332 00:17:17,880 --> 00:17:22,120 Speaker 6: education scores really in the tank at this point, thousands 333 00:17:22,160 --> 00:17:27,040 Speaker 6: of businesses closing in Minnesota in addition to people moving out. 334 00:17:27,119 --> 00:17:30,560 Speaker 6: And we've all we've always been known, you know, for 335 00:17:30,920 --> 00:17:33,160 Speaker 6: years as a welfare state, you know, the good people 336 00:17:33,200 --> 00:17:37,760 Speaker 6: of Minnesota, whether it's Lutheran social services, Catholic charities taking 337 00:17:37,800 --> 00:17:41,919 Speaker 6: people in. But this Somali part certainly has been different, 338 00:17:41,960 --> 00:17:44,480 Speaker 6: and the evidence has pointed to that. It's about a 339 00:17:44,520 --> 00:17:48,960 Speaker 6: hundred thousand they say Somalis in Minnesota. I've covered cases 340 00:17:49,119 --> 00:17:52,040 Speaker 6: where they will be on the stand saying this is 341 00:17:52,119 --> 00:17:56,560 Speaker 6: our culture. They consider themselves business people and this is 342 00:17:56,640 --> 00:18:00,439 Speaker 6: under oath they're saying this.

So Minnesota 379 00:20:05,400 --> 00:20:08,160 Speaker 4: has gotten a lot of the attention.

We've heard Ohio, and Jonathan's on 382 00:20:17,760 --> 00:20:20,640 Speaker 4: the ground in Washington exposing it there. Welcome to the show, 383 00:20:20,720 --> 00:20:22,879 Speaker 4: Jonathan Schoe Frontline CPUSA. 384 00:20:23,359 --> 00:20:24,560 Speaker 1: Hey guys, thanks for having me. 385 00:20:24,760 --> 00:20:29,200 Speaker 4: Yeah, man, you so give us the rundown here. So 386 00:20:29,440 --> 00:20:33,760 Speaker 4: this fraud has been going on for who knows how long, 387 00:20:34,560 --> 00:20:37,680 Speaker 4: and you are uncovering it. And it appears that instead 388 00:20:37,680 --> 00:20:40,800 Speaker 4: of like we're in Minnesota, they are. We've Tim Wallas 389 00:20:40,800 --> 00:20:43,080 Speaker 4: is saying he's not going to run for reelection. We 390 00:20:43,160 --> 00:20:47,920 Speaker 4: have a new socialist mayor of Seattle, Katie Wilson, who's 391 00:20:47,920 --> 00:20:50,800 Speaker 4: promising to probably make things worse. Tell us, give us 392 00:20:50,800 --> 00:20:52,880 Speaker 4: the lay of the land. What's the state of things 393 00:20:52,880 --> 00:20:53,480 Speaker 4: in Washington. 394 00:20:53,760 --> 00:20:57,200 Speaker 10: Well, first of all, credit to Nick Shirley, who busted 395 00:20:57,240 --> 00:21:00,600 Speaker 10: this story wide open in Minnesota and again this morning 396 00:21:00,960 --> 00:21:04,520 Speaker 10: Tim Walls finally saying he's no longer going to run 397 00:21:04,560 --> 00:21:07,439 Speaker 10: for governor. Shirley's coverage had a lot to do with that. 398 00:21:07,440 --> 00:21:11,080 Speaker 10: That's what also inspired though our coverag sure in Washington. 399 00:21:11,359 --> 00:21:15,040 Speaker 10: As soon as that story, you know, broken Minnesota last week, 400 00:21:15,760 --> 00:21:19,480 Speaker 10: independent journalist Cam Higbee, along with citizen journalists Kristen Magnuson 401 00:21:19,520 --> 00:21:23,679 Speaker 10: and I, decided we needed to start looking here, Magnuson 402 00:21:24,440 --> 00:21:30,200 Speaker 10: busted an entire list identified more than five hundred Somali 403 00:21:30,280 --> 00:21:33,399 Speaker 10: run daycares. What we did was simply process of elimination. 404 00:21:33,800 --> 00:21:37,040 Speaker 10: We went through the inspection histories. Anything with red flags 405 00:21:37,080 --> 00:21:40,280 Speaker 10: serious violations, we decided to go after and we did 406 00:21:40,320 --> 00:21:43,520 Speaker 10: a divide and conquer approach. So after just only four 407 00:21:43,640 --> 00:21:48,080 Speaker 10: days now and nearly forty Somali daycares from Seattle to 408 00:21:48,280 --> 00:21:51,960 Speaker 10: Kent to Auburn to Sea Tech, all over South King County, 409 00:21:52,440 --> 00:21:56,840 Speaker 10: we've uncovered what appears to be possible signs of Somali 410 00:21:56,960 --> 00:22:00,800 Speaker 10: daycare fraud. In at least four cases, the daycare was 411 00:22:00,840 --> 00:22:03,919 Speaker 10: officially registered with the state of Washington, but when we 412 00:22:04,000 --> 00:22:06,679 Speaker 10: knocked on the door, either no one came to the 413 00:22:06,680 --> 00:22:08,879 Speaker 10: door and only spoke to us through a ring camera 414 00:22:09,160 --> 00:22:12,840 Speaker 10: and said no, no daycare here, never registered, or the 415 00:22:12,880 --> 00:22:16,280 Speaker 10: person ran us off the property saying no daycare go away. 416 00:22:16,640 --> 00:22:20,120 Speaker 4: Wow, And you guys are definitely I want I want 417 00:22:20,119 --> 00:22:22,800 Speaker 4: the audience to understand just how much you guys have 418 00:22:22,880 --> 00:22:25,239 Speaker 4: ruffled feathers in the state of Washington. Throw up one 419 00:22:25,320 --> 00:22:30,480 Speaker 4: for four. This is NBC National. NBC is posting about 420 00:22:30,760 --> 00:22:35,199 Speaker 4: your guys's reporting, saying that, you know, essentially trying to 421 00:22:35,240 --> 00:22:40,000 Speaker 4: downplay who you are. Far right, you know, YouTubers, independent 422 00:22:40,080 --> 00:22:45,679 Speaker 4: journalists so called, are now harassing local daycares because they 423 00:22:45,720 --> 00:22:46,640 Speaker 4: happened to be Somali? 424 00:22:46,800 --> 00:22:47,400 Speaker 5: Is that the truth? 425 00:22:47,440 --> 00:22:52,080 Speaker 4: You heard Tim Walt saying something similar Jonathan, with you know, 426 00:22:52,119 --> 00:22:54,960 Speaker 4: basically calling him a conspiracy theorist and a right wing 427 00:22:56,160 --> 00:23:01,639 Speaker 4: YouTuber trying to downplay the significance of this work. What 428 00:23:01,640 --> 00:23:04,200 Speaker 4: are you doing that's getting under their cross so much, Jonathan, Well. 429 00:23:04,080 --> 00:23:08,080 Speaker 10: It does seem like that seems to be the playbook initially, 430 00:23:08,119 --> 00:23:12,320 Speaker 10: at least for these democratic elected officials and also the 431 00:23:12,440 --> 00:23:16,040 Speaker 10: left wing corporate media. It's pretty much denied, dismiss, and 432 00:23:16,080 --> 00:23:18,640 Speaker 10: then try to discredit. But at the end of the day, 433 00:23:18,720 --> 00:23:22,720 Speaker 10: we have official public documents. You referenced Katie Wilson, the 434 00:23:22,760 --> 00:23:25,520 Speaker 10: new mayor of Seattle. Just a few days ago. We 435 00:23:25,560 --> 00:23:29,800 Speaker 10: went to her inauguration and she pretty much admitted that 436 00:23:29,840 --> 00:23:32,520 Speaker 10: her social media post right after this story broke where 437 00:23:32,560 --> 00:23:35,639 Speaker 10: she called, you know, all the people knocking on the 438 00:23:35,720 --> 00:23:38,040 Speaker 10: doors of the Somali daycares to figure out whether or 439 00:23:38,040 --> 00:23:39,520 Speaker 10: not actual fraud was happening. 440 00:23:39,720 --> 00:23:43,040 Speaker 1: She referred to them as extremist. 441 00:23:42,400 --> 00:23:46,800 Speaker 10: Influencers, and when Higbee confronted her and I confronted her, 442 00:23:47,000 --> 00:23:48,639 Speaker 10: she admitted she was talking about me. 443 00:23:49,320 --> 00:23:51,520 Speaker 1: So we're clearly living rent free in her head. 444 00:23:51,520 --> 00:23:54,679 Speaker 10: But again all joking aside the fact that a sitting 445 00:23:54,720 --> 00:23:57,600 Speaker 10: official does not only includes the mayor of Seattle. This time, 446 00:23:57,600 --> 00:24:01,200 Speaker 10: I'm talking about the Washington State Governor, Bob Ferguson, along 447 00:24:01,200 --> 00:24:04,360 Speaker 10: with Attorney General Nick Brown. Instead of calling for a 448 00:24:04,480 --> 00:24:10,240 Speaker 10: robust investigation into the Somali daycares, they're now playing defense. 449 00:24:10,640 --> 00:24:15,560 Speaker 1: They're pointing fingers at President Trump. They're calling us harassers. 450 00:24:15,840 --> 00:24:19,439 Speaker 10: So again I think, uh, there's clearly a coordinated effort 451 00:24:19,440 --> 00:24:19,760 Speaker 10: going on. 452 00:24:19,840 --> 00:24:20,520 Speaker 1: Right now. 453 00:24:20,720 --> 00:24:24,280 Speaker 4: We have that clip Jonathan of the New She was 454 00:24:24,320 --> 00:24:27,120 Speaker 4: just sworn in this morning, right, a couple of days ago, 455 00:24:27,280 --> 00:24:29,960 Speaker 4: Cody Wilson. Okay, so she's just sworn in. She's an act. 456 00:24:30,000 --> 00:24:32,760 Speaker 4: When we say she's a socialist, she's actually a socialist. 457 00:24:32,800 --> 00:24:35,480 Speaker 4: She she's proud of this because herself she's a part 458 00:24:35,520 --> 00:24:39,880 Speaker 4: of the Democrats Socialists of America. She narrowly won her 459 00:24:39,920 --> 00:24:42,560 Speaker 4: election over the incumbent there. It was just a you know, 460 00:24:42,600 --> 00:24:44,560 Speaker 4: I guess more of a traditional Democrat. 461 00:24:45,119 --> 00:24:45,239 Speaker 6: Uh. 462 00:24:45,280 --> 00:24:48,240 Speaker 4: Well, here's one sixty six Seattle Americ Katie Wilson calling 463 00:24:48,480 --> 00:24:53,680 Speaker 4: Jonathan Choe and Cam Higby extremist influencers, which is, it's 464 00:24:53,680 --> 00:24:55,360 Speaker 4: a bold claim one sixty six. 465 00:24:55,600 --> 00:24:55,960 Speaker 1: So bad. 466 00:24:56,160 --> 00:24:58,560 Speaker 7: Everyone has a place in Seattle, this is your city. 467 00:24:58,600 --> 00:25:00,400 Speaker 5: That is that you belong here. 468 00:25:00,680 --> 00:25:03,560 Speaker 3: As you put it, extremeistly influencers have a place in Seattle, 469 00:25:05,760 --> 00:25:06,800 Speaker 3: John Well. 470 00:25:06,840 --> 00:25:08,000 Speaker 5: I asked her. She said in. 471 00:25:08,000 --> 00:25:11,399 Speaker 2: Her speech that everybody has a place in Seattle. And 472 00:25:11,440 --> 00:25:13,960 Speaker 2: I said, Katie, you said everyone has a place in Seattle, 473 00:25:14,040 --> 00:25:15,080 Speaker 2: does that include. 474 00:25:14,840 --> 00:25:16,720 Speaker 7: As you put it, extremist influencers? 475 00:25:16,880 --> 00:25:18,360 Speaker 2: And she worked at you and she said, well, there's 476 00:25:18,359 --> 00:25:19,840 Speaker 2: one standing right there, so I guess so. 477 00:25:20,280 --> 00:25:22,280 Speaker 7: And then he's calling me an extremist influence. 478 00:25:22,320 --> 00:25:22,480 Speaker 1: Yea. 479 00:25:22,880 --> 00:25:24,960 Speaker 10: Again I triggered that post apparently, and. 480 00:25:24,880 --> 00:25:27,760 Speaker 3: Then I asked her if her administration will investigate Somebali 481 00:25:27,840 --> 00:25:31,399 Speaker 3: daycare fraud and she literally started pushing me away. All right, 482 00:25:31,840 --> 00:25:34,000 Speaker 3: staff mushered me away. So it's all on camera. We 483 00:25:34,040 --> 00:25:36,080 Speaker 3: simply stood in line. We just wanted to ask her 484 00:25:36,119 --> 00:25:40,239 Speaker 3: basic questions. But Katie Wilson and her administration afraid of 485 00:25:40,520 --> 00:25:42,760 Speaker 3: questions basically, yeah, terrified questions. 486 00:25:42,840 --> 00:25:44,919 Speaker 7: Yeah, that's amazing. 487 00:25:45,119 --> 00:25:49,400 Speaker 4: Good for you, Jonathan, I mean, you know, Minnesota's getting 488 00:25:49,400 --> 00:25:54,160 Speaker 4: all the attention, but Washington is an absolute hotbed of extreme, 489 00:25:54,320 --> 00:25:57,480 Speaker 4: actual extremists on the left. They're going to ruin that stity. 490 00:25:57,480 --> 00:25:59,920 Speaker 4: This is a state that is a proud capitalist past. 491 00:26:00,280 --> 00:26:05,680 Speaker 4: I mean, you've got Boeing, you've got Starbucks, you've got Microsoft, 492 00:26:05,960 --> 00:26:10,239 Speaker 4: there's Amazon. This is a proudly capitalist state and it's 493 00:26:10,320 --> 00:26:12,240 Speaker 4: kind of got this.

It's getting 496 00:26:22,040 --> 00:26:26,520 Speaker 4: completely annihilated from the you know, the I would say, 497 00:26:26,560 --> 00:26:31,600 Speaker 4: from progressive left, but the tax base, the massive inflation, 498 00:26:32,600 --> 00:26:38,240 Speaker 4: influx of foreigners, the traffic in Seattle is horrendous now 499 00:26:38,280 --> 00:26:41,440 Speaker 4: by the way, but it's just I shocked at how 500 00:26:41,480 --> 00:26:45,160 Speaker 4: much fraud we've explored, and we've discovered already in Minnesota, 501 00:26:45,200 --> 00:26:48,240 Speaker 4: but how much we're about to discover in Washington State. 502 00:26:49,000 --> 00:26:51,760 Speaker 4: And the question that I then have, Jonathan, is that 503 00:26:51,920 --> 00:26:55,959 Speaker 4: instead of investigating it, they're showing you away. What is 504 00:26:56,000 --> 00:26:58,399 Speaker 4: the reticence with actually investigating this fraud? 505 00:26:59,280 --> 00:27:01,720 Speaker 10: Great question you've got to ask them, And I want 506 00:27:01,720 --> 00:27:04,760 Speaker 10: to be very clear, you know, people like me, Cam Higbee, 507 00:27:04,800 --> 00:27:08,360 Speaker 10: Kristen Magnuson, and all the other citizen journalists who've been digging. 508 00:27:09,560 --> 00:27:13,600 Speaker 10: It's because the Washington State Department of Children, Youth and Families, 509 00:27:13,640 --> 00:27:17,280 Speaker 10: the actual agency get this that not only funds these 510 00:27:17,359 --> 00:27:21,080 Speaker 10: Somali daycares, but is also supposed to investigate the daycares. 511 00:27:21,200 --> 00:27:22,360 Speaker 1: Well, they're not doing their job. 512 00:27:22,880 --> 00:27:26,040 Speaker 10: I mean, we've reached out to DCYF numerous times now. 513 00:27:26,480 --> 00:27:29,400 Speaker 10: They're not returning our requests for comment. I called them 514 00:27:29,440 --> 00:27:33,240 Speaker 10: several times. Their voicemail box is still full. So the 515 00:27:33,520 --> 00:27:35,879 Speaker 10: best part of this is that DCYF also on the 516 00:27:36,200 --> 00:27:40,040 Speaker 10: web page put out a statement basically advising daycares on 517 00:27:40,040 --> 00:27:42,800 Speaker 10: how to respond to all the people making inquiries. But 518 00:27:42,880 --> 00:27:45,399 Speaker 10: there's no place at all on the website right now 519 00:27:45,560 --> 00:27:48,800 Speaker 10: to make complaints about suspicious Somali daycares. 520 00:27:48,960 --> 00:27:49,800 Speaker 5: That's by design. 521 00:27:50,000 --> 00:27:52,080 Speaker 10: Yeah, it does seem that way, And that's exactly what 522 00:27:52,119 --> 00:27:56,040 Speaker 10: the Washington State geopiece at Jim Walsh, Travis Couture, two 523 00:27:56,080 --> 00:27:59,560 Speaker 10: state representatives now also leading the charge here trying to 524 00:27:59,560 --> 00:28:02,760 Speaker 10: look into it's actually happening. They've gone, as you know, 525 00:28:02,840 --> 00:28:06,159 Speaker 10: so far to say this is essentially a kickback scheme. 526 00:28:06,680 --> 00:28:10,040 Speaker 10: We've also uncovered that a lot of the Somali daycares 527 00:28:10,280 --> 00:28:15,320 Speaker 10: have donated to Democratic candidates, not conservative Republican candidates, but 528 00:28:15,400 --> 00:28:18,880 Speaker 10: Democratic candidates. So it's this vicious cycle that they're alleging. 529 00:28:19,200 --> 00:28:22,199 Speaker 10: So again we are at the very early stages of 530 00:28:22,200 --> 00:28:25,160 Speaker 10: this investigation. In fact, Nick Shirley is a friend of ours. 531 00:28:25,200 --> 00:28:27,320 Speaker 10: We've invited him, he might come here. We've talked to 532 00:28:27,359 --> 00:28:32,000 Speaker 10: other journalists across the country. We are urging more eyes 533 00:28:32,119 --> 00:28:32,680 Speaker 10: on this state. 534 00:28:33,560 --> 00:28:36,040 Speaker 4: You know, it's shocking, and I want to get back 535 00:28:36,080 --> 00:28:38,720 Speaker 4: to this idea. I mean, I lived in Seattle. I 536 00:28:38,720 --> 00:28:41,840 Speaker 4: went to the University of Washington, and when I was there, 537 00:28:42,560 --> 00:28:45,200 Speaker 4: it was, like I said, proudly capitalists. This was a 538 00:28:45,760 --> 00:28:47,800 Speaker 4: people that knew how to run. It was kind of 539 00:28:47,840 --> 00:28:50,000 Speaker 4: like Minnesota where it formerly used to be this sort 540 00:28:50,000 --> 00:28:53,000 Speaker 4: of well run blue state. It functioned, there was order, 541 00:28:53,480 --> 00:28:55,280 Speaker 4: kind of the old Charlie used to talk about this 542 00:28:55,320 --> 00:28:57,880 Speaker 4: all the time with the old Democrats at ran Chicago. 543 00:28:58,320 --> 00:29:00,800 Speaker 4: They knew how to run a city. Yeah we're Democrats, 544 00:29:00,800 --> 00:29:02,000 Speaker 4: but it was sort of like the. 545 00:29:02,280 --> 00:29:04,040 Speaker 5: Old school version. 546 00:29:04,840 --> 00:29:08,640 Speaker 4: And now you're getting whether it's New York or Minnesota, 547 00:29:09,080 --> 00:29:12,400 Speaker 4: you've got a basically a communist running Chicago. Now you've 548 00:29:12,400 --> 00:29:15,280 Speaker 4: got a communist, we'll just keep it what it is. 549 00:29:15,320 --> 00:29:20,200 Speaker 4: A socialist running Seattle. I mean, this is a really 550 00:29:20,400 --> 00:29:26,040 Speaker 4: scary trend that we're seeing socialist Seattle, communist, socialist running Chicago, 551 00:29:26,320 --> 00:29:29,200 Speaker 4: socialist running New York. I don't know what the heck 552 00:29:29,280 --> 00:29:31,200 Speaker 4: is going on Minnesota, but they're basically trying to give 553 00:29:31,240 --> 00:29:35,560 Speaker 4: away every single dollar that comes into the coffers. And 554 00:29:35,640 --> 00:29:38,960 Speaker 4: it is going to play out exactly how we know 555 00:29:39,000 --> 00:29:42,520 Speaker 4: it's going to play out, where rampant fraud, rampant fleecing 556 00:29:42,560 --> 00:29:46,360 Speaker 4: of the tax taxpayers and residents that are productive are 557 00:29:46,360 --> 00:29:49,640 Speaker 4: going to flee the state. It's just there's there's no 558 00:29:49,720 --> 00:29:52,680 Speaker 4: you mentioned this in Minnesota. New York's moving to Florida 559 00:29:53,160 --> 00:29:57,160 Speaker 4: and other places. Illinois filling up Phoenix. I can tell 560 00:29:57,200 --> 00:29:59,840 Speaker 4: you that the city's full of Chicagoans that have fled 561 00:29:59,840 --> 00:30:03,440 Speaker 4: this date. Have you have you felt that already in 562 00:30:03,520 --> 00:30:06,600 Speaker 4: just what kind of in the last couple of years, Jonathan, 563 00:30:06,760 --> 00:30:08,600 Speaker 4: And now it's going to get worse in Seattle. Are 564 00:30:08,600 --> 00:30:10,720 Speaker 4: you seeing businesses starting to flee the state? Are you 565 00:30:10,760 --> 00:30:12,200 Speaker 4: seeing people flee the state? 566 00:30:12,560 --> 00:30:15,400 Speaker 10: Absolutely, the exodus has already begun. Just look at the 567 00:30:15,480 --> 00:30:18,920 Speaker 10: data and the numbers downtown Seattle, the commercial real estate, 568 00:30:19,280 --> 00:30:22,560 Speaker 10: the vacancies are an all time high. You have property 569 00:30:22,680 --> 00:30:26,000 Speaker 10: values starting to drop. You have people now you know, 570 00:30:26,040 --> 00:30:29,480 Speaker 10: for example, Amazon and Meta, they were going to expand 571 00:30:29,480 --> 00:30:33,720 Speaker 10: in Seattle, but instead they're moving to nearby Bellevue, which 572 00:30:33,720 --> 00:30:36,880 Speaker 10: is only fifteen minutes away, which is safer, which has 573 00:30:36,960 --> 00:30:39,960 Speaker 10: is pro police, and is simply a better run city. 574 00:30:40,040 --> 00:30:43,560 Speaker 10: So what's happening now again in Washington? The concern is 575 00:30:43,560 --> 00:30:47,320 Speaker 10: that all the patriots who were common sense have now 576 00:30:47,400 --> 00:30:50,360 Speaker 10: left and there's no one left to fight. And maybe 577 00:30:50,360 --> 00:30:53,360 Speaker 10: it is all by design that the GOP you know, 578 00:30:53,480 --> 00:30:57,160 Speaker 10: continues to you know, pass these insane policies, frustrating common 579 00:30:57,200 --> 00:30:59,560 Speaker 10: sense folk, and the folk who are going to challenge them, 580 00:30:59,600 --> 00:31:01,960 Speaker 10: they're no longer we're here to do that. So again, 581 00:31:01,960 --> 00:31:04,840 Speaker 10: a lot of theories happening right now. But I'm seeing 582 00:31:04,880 --> 00:31:07,480 Speaker 10: again the data and I'm seeing people now voting with 583 00:31:07,520 --> 00:31:07,920 Speaker 10: their feet. 584 00:31:08,000 --> 00:31:09,280 Speaker 1: And that's what's happening in Washington. 585 00:31:09,360 --> 00:31:11,239 Speaker 4: Yeah, and you saw that. You see that in California too. 586 00:31:11,280 --> 00:31:13,080 Speaker 4: It's like if all the people would have just stayed 587 00:31:13,080 --> 00:31:15,840 Speaker 4: and fought in California, you know, we probably could have 588 00:31:15,880 --> 00:31:19,440 Speaker 4: won back calf honestly, I mean it. It's a bittersweet, 589 00:31:19,800 --> 00:31:20,920 Speaker 4: you know, pilled a swade. 590 00:31:20,920 --> 00:31:22,680 Speaker 7: I maybe we could have won back Oh I do. 591 00:31:22,840 --> 00:31:24,959 Speaker 4: I mean if you if you go back to the nineties, 592 00:31:25,000 --> 00:31:27,240 Speaker 4: I mean, people are starting to flee the state California 593 00:31:27,240 --> 00:31:29,560 Speaker 4: in the nineties. I mean we're talking millions of people 594 00:31:29,640 --> 00:31:31,560 Speaker 4: over the last twenty five years, thirty years. 595 00:31:31,680 --> 00:31:33,240 Speaker 7: You can see how many votes we lost mine. 596 00:31:33,320 --> 00:31:34,640 Speaker 5: Wow, I mean, yeah, fair enough. 597 00:31:35,200 --> 00:31:38,960 Speaker 4: I know, call me a uh you know, conspiracy theories 598 00:31:39,000 --> 00:31:41,280 Speaker 4: if you want. But I actually it is a problem though, 599 00:31:41,320 --> 00:31:44,280 Speaker 4: because and then you know, states like Arizona get benefited 600 00:31:44,280 --> 00:31:46,600 Speaker 4: from Texas, Florida, A lot of a lot of red 601 00:31:46,640 --> 00:31:49,880 Speaker 4: states are benefiting.

It's it's not exactly it's it's 641 00:33:32,960 --> 00:33:35,240 Speaker 7: a dystopian novel like the others in that listing in 642 00:33:35,320 --> 00:33:37,440 Speaker 7: nineteen eighty four Brave North, but it's a lot weirder. 643 00:33:38,000 --> 00:33:42,400 Speaker 7: It has King Arthur related elements that pop up halfway through. Weird, 644 00:33:42,960 --> 00:33:43,440 Speaker 7: very weird. 645 00:33:43,640 --> 00:33:46,200 Speaker 5: Well, I now need to take the Hillsdale. 646 00:33:45,800 --> 00:33:49,280 Speaker 7: Course exactly, which you might need to read the prelude 647 00:33:49,280 --> 00:33:51,240 Speaker 7: books too. It's it's a little less weird if you 648 00:33:51,280 --> 00:33:53,560 Speaker 7: it's the end of a trilogy. If you're reading it 649 00:33:53,600 --> 00:33:55,600 Speaker 7: as your only book in that trilogy, you ever read 650 00:33:55,600 --> 00:33:56,640 Speaker 7: the first two, it's got to be one of the 651 00:33:56,640 --> 00:33:57,640 Speaker 7: weirdest books you've ever I. 652 00:33:58,080 --> 00:34:01,880 Speaker 4: Stayed in Phoenix and I I shot off thousands of 653 00:34:01,920 --> 00:34:03,959 Speaker 4: dollars that I didn't pay for them. But we went 654 00:34:04,040 --> 00:34:06,840 Speaker 4: to this house and we got there with the kids 655 00:34:06,840 --> 00:34:10,840 Speaker 4: and they had literal fireworks with the mortar shells, you know, 656 00:34:11,040 --> 00:34:13,920 Speaker 4: like five inch and seven inch Chris, New Year's fireworks. 657 00:34:13,920 --> 00:34:16,200 Speaker 4: New Year's yeah, New Year's Yeah. I mean there was 658 00:34:16,239 --> 00:34:17,879 Speaker 4: other houses doing it. I think it's fairly common. 659 00:34:17,840 --> 00:34:19,480 Speaker 7: I thought you were gonna say, like thousands of dollars 660 00:34:19,520 --> 00:34:22,520 Speaker 7: worth of Ammo, like you went right. That sounds very Arizona. 661 00:34:22,640 --> 00:34:25,560 Speaker 5: That would have been very cool. But we just fired 662 00:34:25,600 --> 00:34:26,799 Speaker 5: them off. It was pretty fun. 663 00:34:26,800 --> 00:34:29,840 Speaker 4: The kids enjoyed it, And I will tell you I 664 00:34:29,880 --> 00:34:33,239 Speaker 4: had a legitimate celebration. Is that probably the first that 665 00:34:33,680 --> 00:34:35,600 Speaker 4: apparently it's very illegal in Arizona. 666 00:34:35,760 --> 00:34:37,600 Speaker 5: I didn't do it, well, I did it. 667 00:34:37,719 --> 00:34:39,680 Speaker 7: You're throwing all the blame on your own children. 668 00:34:40,360 --> 00:34:41,000 Speaker 5: It was my children. 669 00:34:41,120 --> 00:34:41,800 Speaker 7: Very suspicious. 670 00:34:41,880 --> 00:34:45,399 Speaker 4: Yeah, And the house that we were at, I can 671 00:34:45,480 --> 00:34:47,759 Speaker 4: either confirm nor deny that this story I've just told is. 672 00:34:47,760 --> 00:34:50,960 Speaker 5: True, but it's true, and it was. 673 00:34:51,239 --> 00:34:53,480 Speaker 4: But I will tell you I had a legitimate celebration. 674 00:34:54,239 --> 00:34:56,920 Speaker 4: I was so ready for twenty twenty five, twenty twenty 675 00:34:56,920 --> 00:35:00,600 Speaker 4: five to be over. It was just a terribly tragic year, 676 00:35:00,719 --> 00:35:03,200 Speaker 4: and we missed Charlie and it's time to turn the 677 00:35:03,200 --> 00:35:06,279 Speaker 4: page and have a new start. It really was so 678 00:35:08,120 --> 00:35:12,359 Speaker 4: revisiting this topic. Thomas Massey threw up at one eighty five. 679 00:35:12,600 --> 00:35:15,560 Speaker 4: He tweeted out, wake up, Maga. Venezuela is not about drugs. 680 00:35:15,600 --> 00:35:17,719 Speaker 4: It's about oil and regime change. This is not what 681 00:35:17,760 --> 00:35:21,360 Speaker 4: we voted for. And to that, Blake, your your response is. 682 00:35:22,239 --> 00:35:24,480 Speaker 7: I think it's very funny that Trump comes out and 683 00:35:24,520 --> 00:35:27,720 Speaker 7: basically says, he's like, we did this to take the oil. 684 00:35:28,040 --> 00:35:31,720 Speaker 7: We're taking all the oil from Venezuela, and then everyone's 685 00:35:31,760 --> 00:35:34,400 Speaker 7: pointing and saying, don't be tricked, this is about oil. 686 00:35:34,640 --> 00:35:36,719 Speaker 4: Well, I mean, I do think that there there is 687 00:35:36,760 --> 00:35:38,160 Speaker 4: a little bit of this going on. 688 00:35:38,320 --> 00:35:40,040 Speaker 5: I mean, I'll be honest, I think there's. 689 00:35:39,920 --> 00:35:44,000 Speaker 4: A little bit of We have the legal precursor with 690 00:35:44,320 --> 00:35:48,600 Speaker 4: drugs and narco trafficking, and we have the indictments, and 691 00:35:48,640 --> 00:35:50,080 Speaker 4: he's an illegitimate person. 692 00:35:50,120 --> 00:35:51,000 Speaker 5: That's you know, But. 693 00:35:51,239 --> 00:35:53,719 Speaker 4: This is about kind of I would say, this is 694 00:35:53,719 --> 00:35:55,640 Speaker 4: about two things. I'm gonna say, one that is provable, 695 00:35:55,640 --> 00:35:58,920 Speaker 4: one that is a bit conspiratory, one that's provable. This 696 00:35:59,000 --> 00:36:02,359 Speaker 4: is about the messy business of empire, and people don't 697 00:36:02,400 --> 00:36:02,960 Speaker 4: like to hear it. 698 00:36:03,000 --> 00:36:03,839 Speaker 5: But America. 699 00:36:04,320 --> 00:36:06,560 Speaker 4: Yeah, we're not an empire in sort of a classical 700 00:36:06,680 --> 00:36:10,600 Speaker 4: Roman sense, but we are an economic behemoth and we 701 00:36:10,640 --> 00:36:13,799 Speaker 4: are a hedgemon. And there are threats to the hegemony. 702 00:36:13,880 --> 00:36:18,560 Speaker 4: Right there is the bricks nations. There's Iran, Russia, China 703 00:36:18,640 --> 00:36:23,319 Speaker 4: that are working to forge inroads in the Western hemisphere, 704 00:36:23,600 --> 00:36:27,600 Speaker 4: gain access to mineral rights, gain access to friendly dictators 705 00:36:27,600 --> 00:36:30,240 Speaker 4: that will allow them to use their countries as play things. 706 00:36:30,600 --> 00:36:33,840 Speaker 4: And you've got by the way, people, people don't understand 707 00:36:33,960 --> 00:36:38,239 Speaker 4: how insidious the Cuban intelligence arm is really. They they 708 00:36:38,719 --> 00:36:41,640 Speaker 4: have massive presence in the United States but also throughout 709 00:36:41,640 --> 00:36:42,160 Speaker 4: South America. 710 00:36:42,200 --> 00:36:44,520 Speaker 5: It's their one X. Let's not go to it's there 711 00:36:44,560 --> 00:36:45,600 Speaker 5: one export. What's there? 712 00:36:45,760 --> 00:36:47,439 Speaker 7: Okay? They done? 713 00:36:47,520 --> 00:36:49,600 Speaker 5: All right, just hear me out. 714 00:36:49,760 --> 00:36:51,520 Speaker 4: So you've got all these You've got all of these 715 00:36:51,560 --> 00:36:55,279 Speaker 4: countries that have a presence that are not friendly to 716 00:36:55,320 --> 00:36:58,799 Speaker 4: the United States in Venezuela and here we have an 717 00:36:58,800 --> 00:37:03,279 Speaker 4: opportunity to depose a dictator. You have legal ability to 718 00:37:03,320 --> 00:37:07,120 Speaker 4: do it, and there is a larger hemispheric rationale economically 719 00:37:07,320 --> 00:37:07,719 Speaker 4: to do it. 720 00:37:07,760 --> 00:37:08,120 Speaker 5: Okay. 721 00:37:09,280 --> 00:37:11,480 Speaker 4: Secondly, and this is where I'm gonna get your real 722 00:37:11,480 --> 00:37:15,000 Speaker 4: eye rolls. More so than the Cubans. There is a story, 723 00:37:15,040 --> 00:37:16,440 Speaker 4: and I would be remiss if I didn't bring it 724 00:37:16,520 --> 00:37:21,759 Speaker 4: up that suggests that Trump is because you've got these 725 00:37:21,840 --> 00:37:26,880 Speaker 4: voting systems with the origin stories in Venezuela. 726 00:37:27,160 --> 00:37:28,920 Speaker 5: Yes, this is going on on the internet. 727 00:37:28,920 --> 00:37:30,320 Speaker 4: So if you don't want to hear it, you know, 728 00:37:30,560 --> 00:37:33,960 Speaker 4: maybe maybe maybe you know, that's fine, that's your I'm 729 00:37:34,000 --> 00:37:36,600 Speaker 4: not saying I endorse it. I'm just saying people are saying. 730 00:37:36,640 --> 00:37:41,000 Speaker 4: Many people are saying Smartmatic and Dominion have origin stories, 731 00:37:41,360 --> 00:37:44,440 Speaker 4: or at least one of them does in Venezuela. And 732 00:37:44,520 --> 00:37:46,640 Speaker 4: the idea is that President Trump is doing this actually 733 00:37:46,640 --> 00:37:49,239 Speaker 4: is some sort of three D chess move to find 734 00:37:49,239 --> 00:37:55,839 Speaker 4: out the truth about the twenty twenty election. Good luck you, Smartmatic, 735 00:37:55,920 --> 00:37:56,839 Speaker 4: smart Maatic the one. 736 00:37:57,840 --> 00:37:59,719 Speaker 7: I hope that's not the case, because I don't think 737 00:38:00,040 --> 00:38:02,239 Speaker 7: if an American troop gets killed and it turns out 738 00:38:02,280 --> 00:38:04,680 Speaker 7: that they did this, I would to go after Dominion. 739 00:38:04,800 --> 00:38:07,480 Speaker 7: I think that would be a catastrophic error. 740 00:38:07,520 --> 00:38:10,759 Speaker 4: Listen, it's smart Matic apparently. Anyways, So the point is 741 00:38:10,880 --> 00:38:13,440 Speaker 4: that is a one of the theories circulating is that 742 00:38:13,480 --> 00:38:17,520 Speaker 4: there are you know, Emerald Robinson, I think was one 743 00:38:17,560 --> 00:38:20,080 Speaker 4: of the people that has reported on this just saying 744 00:38:20,360 --> 00:38:22,239 Speaker 4: house and Habit did a whole thing on it. I 745 00:38:22,280 --> 00:38:24,480 Speaker 4: saw it was going around. People need to be aware 746 00:38:24,840 --> 00:38:26,439 Speaker 4: that would be bad. I don't think that they're going 747 00:38:26,520 --> 00:38:30,560 Speaker 4: to you know, state this publicly, but I do think that, 748 00:38:30,680 --> 00:38:33,800 Speaker 4: you know, President Trump and starts posting on true social 749 00:38:34,280 --> 00:38:36,400 Speaker 4: about the twenty twenty election right after Maduro. 750 00:38:36,440 --> 00:38:38,279 Speaker 7: I think the most interest well, he always posts about 751 00:38:38,280 --> 00:38:40,279 Speaker 7: the twenty twenty election. I think what's most interesting to 752 00:38:40,320 --> 00:38:44,480 Speaker 7: me is that is the take that they told Trump, 753 00:38:44,600 --> 00:38:46,960 Speaker 7: President Trump, that we're doing this for oil, and the 754 00:38:47,000 --> 00:38:50,640 Speaker 7: math doesn't quite work out in that way. Like Venezuela 755 00:38:50,680 --> 00:38:52,480 Speaker 7: has a lot of oil, but it's not very good oil. 756 00:38:52,560 --> 00:38:55,319 Speaker 7: It's not as profitable to extract as America's own oil. 757 00:38:55,400 --> 00:38:58,520 Speaker 7: And also, since we're a net energy exporter, we don't 758 00:38:58,560 --> 00:39:03,680 Speaker 7: necessarily love of way lower oil prices. It's more complicated. Uh, 759 00:39:03,880 --> 00:39:06,520 Speaker 7: But that they told President Trump this to kind of 760 00:39:06,560 --> 00:39:08,680 Speaker 7: sell him on it, because he does like that more 761 00:39:08,719 --> 00:39:12,440 Speaker 7: mercenary attitude. He like, you know with Ukraine, where they're saying, okay, 762 00:39:12,480 --> 00:39:15,719 Speaker 7: support Ukraine, but then we'll get this rare Earth's deal. 763 00:39:15,800 --> 00:39:18,279 Speaker 7: You get this more straightforward thing out of it, or 764 00:39:18,360 --> 00:39:20,520 Speaker 7: how he's always said, we should have taken it rax oil. 765 00:39:20,719 --> 00:39:23,680 Speaker 7: They almost need to sell him on any foreign intervention 766 00:39:23,800 --> 00:39:25,640 Speaker 7: by saying, oh, oh yeah, and we can take the 767 00:39:25,680 --> 00:39:27,800 Speaker 7: oil too, and then he gets more easy as about it. 768 00:39:27,800 --> 00:39:28,239 Speaker 5: You did see that. 769 00:39:28,320 --> 00:39:30,400 Speaker 7: Well, they're they're doing it for the reasons you stayed 770 00:39:30,400 --> 00:39:33,520 Speaker 7: of keep out China, or box in Cuba, or spread 771 00:39:33,560 --> 00:39:35,640 Speaker 7: democracy or or what have you. 772 00:39:36,080 --> 00:39:38,439 Speaker 4: We got an email from Mike c apparently Danny's telling 773 00:39:38,480 --> 00:39:41,280 Speaker 4: me all that your emails are pro Trump anti Massy. 774 00:39:41,400 --> 00:39:43,479 Speaker 4: So great, it says, great job, Andrew and Blake. Please 775 00:39:43,520 --> 00:39:46,279 Speaker 4: with Trump's actions in Venezuela, long overdue, tired of the 776 00:39:46,320 --> 00:39:49,359 Speaker 4: years of talk from week politicians executing a fake war 777 00:39:49,400 --> 00:39:51,799 Speaker 4: on drugs, the cartels and the third world thugs behind it. 778 00:39:52,160 --> 00:39:55,160 Speaker 4: Let this be a lesson to Mexico, Colombia and Cuba. 779 00:39:55,239 --> 00:39:57,520 Speaker 4: And I do think there is a point here, you know, 780 00:39:57,560 --> 00:39:59,759 Speaker 4: and you saw Marco Rubio said it.

We don't get over extended that the 787 00:40:13,160 --> 00:40:16,000 Speaker 4: transition can happen to a friendlier government to the United States. 788 00:40:16,040 --> 00:40:18,680 Speaker 4: We can have an actual, real thriving Venezuela. That would 789 00:40:18,719 --> 00:40:22,359 Speaker 4: be great. If and if there's a lot, there's a lot. 790 00:40:22,280 --> 00:40:26,040 Speaker 7: Between now and it's it's good.
