Speaker 1: My name is Charlie Kirk.
Speaker 2: I run the largest pro American student organization in the country,
Speaker 2: fighting for the future of our republic. My call is
Speaker 2: to fight evil and to proclaim truth. If the most
Speaker 2: important thing for you is just feeling good, you're gonna
Speaker 2: end up miserable. But if the most important thing is
Speaker 2: doing good, you'll end up purposeful. College is a scam, everybody.
Speaker 2: You got to stop sending your kids to college.
Speaker 1: You should get married.
Speaker 2: As young as possible and have as many kids as possible.
Speaker 2: Go start at turning point you would say, college chapter.
Speaker 2: Go start attning point. Yould say high school chapter. Go
Speaker 2: find out how your church can get involved. Sign up
Speaker 2: and become an activist.
Speaker 1: I gave my.
Speaker 2: Life to the Lord in fifth grade, most important decision
Speaker 2: I ever made in my life, and I encourage you
Speaker 2: to do the same.
Speaker 3: Here I am.
Speaker 1: Lord, Use me.
Speaker 2: Buckle up, everybody, Here we go. The Charlie Kirk Show
Speaker 2: is proudly sponsored by Preserved Gold, leading gold and silver
Speaker 2: experts and the only precious metals company I recommend to
Speaker 2: my family, friends and viewers.
Speaker 4: All Right, welcome back to The Charlie Kirk Show. Hour
Speaker 4: two of our first show back in the new year.
Speaker 4: Never been so.
Speaker 5: Excited to see.
Speaker 4: The calendar flip from twenty twenty five to twenty twenty six.
Speaker 5: The new year.
Speaker 4: Lots to cover, and we have I think the most
Speaker 4: important journalists from the state of Minnesota and one of
Speaker 4: the most important journalists in the country. She did the
Speaker 4: fall of Minneapolis, which is truly important following the George
Speaker 4: Floyd riots. And she's a senior reporter from Alpha News.
Speaker 4: Liz Colin from Minneapolis, Minnesota, or at least thereabouts. Liz,
Speaker 4: Welcome to the Charlie Kirkshow it's good to see you again.
Speaker 6: Hi guys, Happy New Year. Good to see you as well.
Speaker 6: Thanks for having me a lot I'm here a lot
Speaker 6: to talk about.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean, we actually had reached out to you,
Speaker 4: I know, Blake and you were talking about.
Speaker 7: It back and forth. You're in high demand on.
Speaker 4: The Somalia fraud issue, and we did not know when
Speaker 4: we booked you that we were also going to be
Speaker 4: welcomed by the news that Tim Waltz is deciding not
Speaker 4: to run for reelection. What is the story behind the
Speaker 4: story here, Liz.
Speaker 6: Yeah, you guys, these last few weeks been a bit
Speaker 6: of a whirlwind in Minnesota. You could certainly say that
Speaker 6: with News and Politics, no doubt. Governor Tim Walls making
Speaker 6: it official actually just about an hour ago here that
Speaker 6: he will not seek reelection to a third term as governor.
Speaker 6: There have been many political scandals on his watch. We've
Speaker 6: been detailing all of them, but this billion dollar fraud
Speaker 6: scheme seemed to be the last straw in his case.
Speaker 6: Nine billion dollars in all and counting. We now have
Speaker 6: multiple federal investigations going on here in Minnesota. And yeah,
Speaker 6: compared to mainstream media, I think we've been one of
Speaker 6: the very few, is certainly the most prominent in the
Speaker 6: state of Minnesota criticizing that the governor. We have been
Speaker 6: for several years with our exclusive reporting. But we even
Speaker 6: showed up at that press conference today, our photo journalist,
Speaker 6: which it's really difficult to even call it a press conference,
Speaker 6: you guys, but Governor Walls took no questions at all.
Speaker 6: Alf News tried to get into the room, but we
Speaker 6: were told we were not on the list, so we
Speaker 6: could not.
Speaker 5: The governor.
Speaker 6: It's been years now since they've even responded to our
Speaker 6: requests for comment on any story. But really just a
Speaker 6: bizarre situation. If any of your viewers. We're seeing this
Speaker 6: at all play out on X you have walls coming off.
Speaker 6: I think quite angry. I think that's fair to say.
Speaker 6: He talked about how he was supposedly fighting fraud for
Speaker 6: his last seven years in office, which came off as
Speaker 6: a bit of a surprise to any of us paying attention,
Speaker 6: basically blaming Republicans and President Trump for all of this.
Speaker 6: Referring to Nick Shirley's viral video, which got an awful
Speaker 6: lot of attention, called that a right wing YouTuber and
Speaker 6: Nick Shirley was breaking into daycares.
Speaker 5: We have that we have.
Speaker 7: That's let's play it real quick. Let's play one seventy nine.
Speaker 8: We've got conspiracy theorist, right wing YouTubers breaking into our daycares,
Speaker 8: demanding access to our children. We've got the President of
Speaker 8: the United States demonizing our Somali neighbors and wrongfully confiscating
Speaker 8: funds that Minnesotans rely on. It's disgusting and it's dangerous.
Speaker 7: Now what comes to mind for me, Liz, is he
Speaker 7: can talk a big game there, he can say that,
Speaker 7: yet I feel like nothing confirms all of the theories
Speaker 7: and allegations going on in Minnesota. More than the fact
Speaker 7: Governor Wallace realizes I can't fix this in the eleven
Speaker 7: in the ten months till the next election, I have
Speaker 7: to drop out to give us a shot in this race.
Speaker 7: That seems like the greatest confirmation of all that there's
Speaker 7: a gigantic scandal here.
Speaker 1: Correct.
Speaker 6: Yeah, I mean I think Blake pretty but paying attention,
Speaker 6: it certainly seems that that way that with what he's
Speaker 6: saying now, it's almost kind of opposite day. But we
Speaker 6: see that message again and again from the Governor's office.
Speaker 6: But you have some interesting maneuvering happening behind the scenes.
Speaker 6: And this is something we've been monitoring for months now.
Speaker 6: Even when Governor Walls announced in September that he would
Speaker 6: run for reelection for a third term, many were very
Speaker 6: surprised by that with all of the baggage that he
Speaker 6: carries in the state. But now it seems that it
Speaker 6: seems to be more and more truthful now and this
Speaker 6: is something we were hearing months ago that Senator Amy
Speaker 6: Klobashar will in fact be running for Minnesota governor. And
Speaker 6: then you have perhaps some backroom dealing going on that
Speaker 6: Walls would then be appointed to her Senate seat because
Speaker 6: She is not up for reelection until twenty thirty one,
Speaker 6: so there would be a special election in twenty eight
Speaker 6: but Walls would have some sort of swap out until then.
Speaker 6: This is all just sort of speculative at this point,
Speaker 6: but many of these Democrats, one could say that, you know,
Speaker 6: fraud has been happening on the watch of many Democrats
Speaker 6: here in Minnesota. It's been twenty years now since there
Speaker 6: was a statewide office held by a Republican in Minnesota.
Speaker 6: But they've been all very quiet. You did not see
Speaker 6: anybody really going to bat, if you will, for Governor
Speaker 6: Walls for these many weeks and months, and sometimes you
Speaker 6: know that silence speaks louder than anything else.
Speaker 5: So you know, this seems to be the first shoe
Speaker 5: to drop.
Speaker 4: And this swap out idea is fascinating because I could
Speaker 4: I could actually see that really coming to bear here.
Speaker 4: But the question then becomes where is accountability? So you've
Speaker 4: been doing the research and the investigations here, Liz in Minnesota.
Speaker 4: Who is most responsible? Obviously the buck stops with the
Speaker 4: guy at the top, But it seems like this fraud
Speaker 4: has you have to have so many people turn a
Speaker 4: blind eye to allow the fraud to go this long,
Speaker 4: this large, this widespread, Who needs to be held accountable?
Speaker 5: Next?
Speaker 6: I think it's a great point Andrew. In many ways,
Speaker 6: this this fraud is almost baked into the legislation that
Speaker 6: we see passed again and again at the state capital
Speaker 6: with these NGOs, these nonprofits that are formed. I'll just
Speaker 6: highlight some recent reporting over at Elphinews within the last
Speaker 6: few months, but a transportation company paid millions of dollars
Speaker 6: over what the Minneapolis School District was allowing. We find
Speaker 6: that these vans are either sitting for months on end,
Speaker 6: or in fact they're driving around town without any passengers
Speaker 6: in them at all. A Somali owned company, several small
Speaker 6: owned companies working for the Minneapolis School District. Well, it
Speaker 6: turns out that there is some legislation passed in twenty
Speaker 6: twenty three under a DFL trifecta so controlled by Democrats,
Speaker 6: that basically one hundred percent, one hundred percent of the
Speaker 6: reimbursement that is submitted to the federal government will go
Speaker 6: to the district and those companies. And what are the
Speaker 6: monitoring systems put in place for these you know, so
Speaker 6: called rides and service This is all of a sudden
Speaker 6: assigned to what they consider the homeless and highly mobile
Speaker 6: population in Minneapolis. So what do we see all of
Speaker 6: a sudden, there's a forty percent spike in homeless kids
Speaker 6: in Minneapolis. So when you really take a look at
Speaker 6: a lot of this, the math certainly does not add up,
Speaker 6: but has not been for years. But we continue to
Speaker 6: detail those stories over at ELPHA News from whistleblowers who've
Speaker 6: been trying to bring this to the attention of prosecutors
Speaker 6: of authorities for such a long time. I've interviewed recently
Speaker 6: just a TSA agent who detailed her time at the
Speaker 6: airport here how she would watch millions of dollars in
Speaker 6: cash and carry on luggage be flown out of MSP
Speaker 6: on a weekly basis by a couple of US Somali men,
Speaker 6: sometimes the same, sometimes different. And this was also cooperated
Speaker 6: by a former HSI agent who I then interviewed, who
Speaker 6: talked about how again and again they would present these
Speaker 6: cases to the US Attorney's office back then and there
Speaker 6: would be no prosecution at all, no charges. Very similar
Speaker 6: with congress Woman il Han Omar, we're hearing a lot
Speaker 6: about her again as President Trump continues to bring her
Speaker 6: up but marrying her brother, the fact that there are
Speaker 6: questions if she's even a US citizen. But so much
Speaker 6: of this, you know, has been reported before and not
Speaker 6: by the mainstream media. The mainstream media is very complicit
Speaker 6: in Minnesota.
Speaker 9: I know.
Speaker 5: You guys know that.
Speaker 6: No that well with you know, perhaps the focus being
Speaker 6: more on what they do not report than what they do.
Speaker 6: And the Minnesota Star Tribune, Minnesota's largest newspaper, is run
Speaker 6: by a former Commissioner of Governor Tim Walls.
Speaker 4: Yeah, the Star Tribune has really just been exposed as
Speaker 4: a total It's.
Speaker 7: Been so great where they've been like they initially said,
Speaker 7: this is over you know, this is overreacting, there's nothing
Speaker 7: to see here, and then yeah, as it becomes real,
Speaker 7: they've had to pivot to Actually, we've been covering this
Speaker 7: for years. We've totally talked about that. It's very funny
Speaker 7: to see them squirm back and forth on this.
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's it's really It shows how important your investigations
Speaker 4: have been, Liz, and you know you're you want to.
Speaker 4: I wanted you on the show to make sure you know.
Speaker 4: With Nick Shirley, God bless him. We're very happy for
Speaker 4: Nick's the success he's having the virality of that video
Speaker 4: and what it's really unleashed nationwide. Second half of this hour,
Speaker 4: we're gonna be covering Washington Somali daycare fraud and other
Speaker 4: fraud in.
Speaker 5: The state of Washington. That's important.
Speaker 4: But you guys at Alphinus have been on this uh
Speaker 4: it for so long, and you've been so good.
Speaker 7: Howdy Blake here, you know, in moments like this, truth
Speaker 7: really matters. The truth was important to Charlie. So we
Speaker 7: want to share with you a new documentary that's caught
Speaker 7: our attention, not because it's political, but because it refuses
Speaker 7: to shy away from the questions that so many Americans
Speaker 7: are still asking. It exposes the truth. Thank You, Doctor
Speaker 7: Fauci is a hard hitting investigative docu thriller from award
Speaker 7: winning filmmaker Jenner First. He digs through thousands of documents,
Speaker 7: sits down with scientists, intelligence insiders, and whistleblowers, and exposes
Speaker 7: what may be one of the most significant public health
Speaker 7: cover ups of our lifetimes. This film isn't about scoring
Speaker 7: partisan political points. It's about transparency, accountability, and the courage
Speaker 7: to follow the evidence wherever it leads. If you've ever
Speaker 7: wondered what really happened behind closed doors. This is something
Speaker 7: you need to see for yourself. Angel Studios was the
Speaker 7: only platform willing to release it, and that's because you,
Speaker 7: not Hollywood, decide what gets made. Join the Angel Guild
Speaker 7: today at angel dot com, slash Charlie Kirk become a
Speaker 7: member and stream Thank you, Doctor Fauci.
Speaker 4: Today we have Liz Colin standing by and it's a
Speaker 4: before we bring her in. I want to play this
Speaker 4: clip of President Trump just went to just went ham
Speaker 4: on ilhan Omar in the Somali pirates play cut three, So.
Speaker 5: Maria up, pilots pirates.
Speaker 1: But what they are doing is they're stealing money from
Speaker 1: the American taxpayer, and every one of them should be
Speaker 1: forced to leave this country, including ill hand Omar, who's
Speaker 1: a total trip. And we're not gonna pay it anymore.
Speaker 5: We're gonna have Waltz GOP paid. We're not gonna pay them.
Speaker 4: Waltz needs to pay Trump just I mean, we can dream,
Speaker 4: we can dream. Liz Trump, I think is echoing the
Speaker 4: sentiment of a lot of Americans that we feel where
Speaker 4: we don't understand why we had to take in hundreds
Speaker 4: of thousands of somalions from a culture that doesn't share
Speaker 4: our values, doesn't assimilate very easily or seamlessly, and now
Speaker 4: we find out they're defrauding us.
Speaker 5: What can be done?
Speaker 4: And if you've investigated this as far as deportations, there's
Speaker 4: a new report, Liz just broke. I just saw it,
Speaker 4: so I don't expect you to know about it that
Speaker 4: even local Hilton hotels and Hampton Inns in the Minnesota
Speaker 4: or the Minneapolis area are declining ICE agents and DHS
Speaker 4: officers from getting hotel rooms because of the assumption is
Speaker 4: they're working to deport Somali's what can be done in
Speaker 4: that regard and what are people on the ground saying.
Speaker 6: Yeah, you know, I actually did did see that report,
Speaker 6: and I was able to actually ride along with ICE
Speaker 6: just a couple of months ago. And this is how
Speaker 6: deep this all runs, you guys. I think this story
Speaker 6: is a good example. But I accompanied them on a
Speaker 6: ride along for a news story and they talked about
Speaker 6: just the growing frustration they have with Minnesota, how difficult
Speaker 6: their job is because you have so few counties in
Speaker 6: the state that cooperate with ICE. So instead of you know,
Speaker 6: doing these pickups at jails and prisons in Minnesota. Instead
Speaker 6: they have to go out into neighborhoods where they are
Speaker 6: met by these activists. And in fact, the Star Tribune
Speaker 6: has a live reporting feed where they go ahead and
Speaker 6: blast out where Ice is going to be next. So
Speaker 6: this has been going on now for months in Minnesota.
Speaker 5: But we went out starts.
Speaker 6: Yes, they actually are basically promoting this where Ice is
Speaker 6: going to be so they can be met by activists.
Speaker 6: But during our ride along, we picked up a former
Speaker 6: Minnesota state employee who was being paid six figures this
Speaker 6: by the state. Had worked for two different agencies and
Speaker 6: turns out was a convicted felon and it was was
Speaker 6: hired anyway and now faces deportation. And that was a
Speaker 6: story that we documented for elfin News. But but again
Speaker 6: you see this kind of at every turn, sort of
Speaker 6: this radical leftism that has taken hold in many agencies.
Speaker 6: And you know, I think that you know that that's
Speaker 6: a perfect example of something that has been playing out
Speaker 6: here as well.
Speaker 7: It's really interesting. Minnesota used to just be this very
Speaker 7: let's say, it was probably one of the best run
Speaker 7: blue states. It was a desirable one and you look
Speaker 7: at the map and we well know that people are
Speaker 7: fleeing California, fleeing Illinois, fleeing New York. But actually there's
Speaker 7: a lot of domestic out migration out of Minnesota.
Speaker 1: Now.
Speaker 7: People they can sense that it's going south. I wanted
Speaker 7: this is a bit of a swerve, but I thought
Speaker 7: you might have some thought on this. It just seems
Speaker 7: like every program in Minnesota very quickly can become this
Speaker 7: feeding frenzy for fraud. I know, you guys have a
Speaker 7: new paid leave law that just came into play. They
Speaker 7: added to their own they added their own payroll tax
Speaker 7: to the state on top of what you pay for Medicare,
Speaker 7: Social Security for paid leave, and you're eligible for it.
Speaker 7: If you are self employed, you can join into it.
Speaker 7: You can get a maximum of twenty weeks of family
Speaker 7: or medical leave. And so it seems to me like
Speaker 7: this is going to obviously present people an opportunity to
Speaker 7: incorporate a self employed business, declare that they're paying themselves
Speaker 7: a certain salary. He feels like, and then you yeah,
Speaker 7: and then you go on. You go on your leave
Speaker 7: for long COVID or whatever. You know your family member
Speaker 7: is sick, or you have any one of your four
Speaker 7: wives and infinite possible claims, and you can get a
Speaker 7: maximum of twenty weeks of leave a year. Fourteen hundred
Speaker 7: dollars a week is what the state will pay, So
Speaker 7: that's twenty eight thousand a year. Am I reading this right, Liz?
Speaker 6: Yeah, No, you're absolutely right, Blake, Blake, And that's what
Speaker 6: I was talking about, just sort of how this is
Speaker 6: baked into the legislation. In fact, people are actually calling
Speaker 6: on just a forensic audit overall of the Minnesota state
Speaker 6: budget at this point. I think there are five or
Speaker 6: six federal investigations now ongoing in Minnesota, and I think
Speaker 6: they will be taking a look at a lot of this.
Speaker 6: Republicans certainly have been raising alarms surrounding this new law
Speaker 6: that just went into to affect January first. You had
Speaker 6: Governor Walls in this so called I guess press conference
Speaker 6: today talking about how he's going to be back out
Speaker 6: in front of cameras tomorrow talking about how great this
Speaker 6: new law is, and there are many questions about fraud.
Speaker 6: Already thousands of people have been approved for this and
Speaker 6: speaking with small business owners, whether it's COVID or other
Speaker 6: mandates that were put in place on small business owners
Speaker 6: in Minnesota. They have expressed a serious alarm. The Chamber
Speaker 6: of Commerce, many departments came out against passing this. But again,
Speaker 6: this has been a Democrat controlled state for such a
Speaker 6: long time. You're right that tens of thousands of people
Speaker 6: have fled the state at this point, but Governor Walls,
Speaker 6: in the last seven years, it's really hard to understate,
Speaker 6: you know, how much has happened here, whether it's defunding
Speaker 6: the police, a lot of these mandates on small businesses,
Speaker 6: education scores really in the tank at this point, thousands
Speaker 6: of businesses closing in Minnesota in addition to people moving out.
Speaker 6: And we've all we've always been known, you know, for
Speaker 6: years as a welfare state, you know, the good people
Speaker 6: of Minnesota, whether it's Lutheran social services, Catholic charities taking
Speaker 6: people in. But this Somali part certainly has been different,
Speaker 6: and the evidence has pointed to that. It's about a
Speaker 6: hundred thousand they say Somalis in Minnesota. I've covered cases
Speaker 6: where they will be on the stand saying this is
Speaker 6: our culture. They consider themselves business people and this is
Speaker 6: under oath they're saying this. It's just it's totally different
Speaker 6: than anything we've seen before.
Speaker 7: Liz, you're quite the trooper. I would get out of
Speaker 7: Minnesota if I were you, But you're there. You're covering
Speaker 7: it for us, and I suspect we're going to get
Speaker 7: a lot of material from it in the weeks to come.
Speaker 7: Thank you for very much for coming on.
Speaker 5: Thanks Liz, Thank you guys. Hey, everybody.

Speaker 4: He is an amazing journalist who is part of TPUSA
Speaker 4: front Lines team doing the sort of gorilla on the
Speaker 4: ground journalism that the mainstream news media refuses to. And
Speaker 4: now Jonathan has I mean, he's done amazing work for
Speaker 4: Turning Point for years, but he is uncovered the extent
Speaker 4: of Somali fraud in the state of Washington. So Minnesota
Speaker 4: has gotten a lot of the attention. But this fraud,
Speaker 4: in this tendency by specific community in specific kinds of states,
Speaker 4: expands well beyond Minnesota. We've heard Ohio, and Jonathan's on
Speaker 4: the ground in Washington exposing it there. Welcome to the show,
Speaker 4: Jonathan Schoe Frontline CPUSA.
Speaker 1: Hey guys, thanks for having me.
Speaker 4: Yeah, man, you so give us the rundown here. So
Speaker 4: this fraud has been going on for who knows how long,
Speaker 4: and you are uncovering it. And it appears that instead
Speaker 4: of like we're in Minnesota, they are. We've Tim Wallas
Speaker 4: is saying he's not going to run for reelection. We
Speaker 4: have a new socialist mayor of Seattle, Katie Wilson, who's
Speaker 4: promising to probably make things worse. Tell us, give us
Speaker 4: the lay of the land. What's the state of things
Speaker 4: in Washington.
Speaker 10: Well, first of all, credit to Nick Shirley, who busted
Speaker 10: this story wide open in Minnesota and again this morning
Speaker 10: Tim Walls finally saying he's no longer going to run
Speaker 10: for governor. Shirley's coverage had a lot to do with that.
Speaker 10: That's what also inspired though our coverag sure in Washington.
Speaker 10: As soon as that story, you know, broken Minnesota last week,
Speaker 10: independent journalist Cam Higbee, along with citizen journalists Kristen Magnuson
Speaker 10: and I, decided we needed to start looking here, Magnuson
Speaker 10: busted an entire list identified more than five hundred Somali
Speaker 10: run daycares. What we did was simply process of elimination.
Speaker 10: We went through the inspection histories. Anything with red flags
Speaker 10: serious violations, we decided to go after and we did
Speaker 10: a divide and conquer approach. So after just only four
Speaker 10: days now and nearly forty Somali daycares from Seattle to
Speaker 10: Kent to Auburn to Sea Tech, all over South King County,
Speaker 10: we've uncovered what appears to be possible signs of Somali
Speaker 10: daycare fraud. In at least four cases, the daycare was
Speaker 10: officially registered with the state of Washington, but when we
Speaker 10: knocked on the door, either no one came to the
Speaker 10: door and only spoke to us through a ring camera
Speaker 10: and said no, no daycare here, never registered, or the
Speaker 10: person ran us off the property saying no daycare go away.
Speaker 4: Wow, And you guys are definitely I want I want
Speaker 4: the audience to understand just how much you guys have
Speaker 4: ruffled feathers in the state of Washington. Throw up one
Speaker 4: for four. This is NBC National. NBC is posting about
Speaker 4: your guys's reporting, saying that, you know, essentially trying to
Speaker 4: downplay who you are. Far right, you know, YouTubers, independent
Speaker 4: journalists so called, are now harassing local daycares because they
Speaker 4: happened to be Somali?
Speaker 5: Is that the truth?
Speaker 4: You heard Tim Walt saying something similar Jonathan, with you know,
Speaker 4: basically calling him a conspiracy theorist and a right wing
Speaker 4: YouTuber trying to downplay the significance of this work. What
Speaker 4: are you doing that's getting under their cross so much, Jonathan, Well.
Speaker 10: It does seem like that seems to be the playbook initially,
Speaker 10: at least for these democratic elected officials and also the
Speaker 10: left wing corporate media. It's pretty much denied, dismiss, and
Speaker 10: then try to discredit. But at the end of the day,
Speaker 10: we have official public documents. You referenced Katie Wilson, the
Speaker 10: new mayor of Seattle. Just a few days ago. We
Speaker 10: went to her inauguration and she pretty much admitted that
Speaker 10: her social media post right after this story broke where
Speaker 10: she called, you know, all the people knocking on the
Speaker 10: doors of the Somali daycares to figure out whether or
Speaker 10: not actual fraud was happening.
Speaker 1: She referred to them as extremist.
Speaker 10: Influencers, and when Higbee confronted her and I confronted her,
Speaker 10: she admitted she was talking about me.
Speaker 1: So we're clearly living rent free in her head.
Speaker 10: But again all joking aside the fact that a sitting
Speaker 10: official does not only includes the mayor of Seattle. This time,
Speaker 10: I'm talking about the Washington State Governor, Bob Ferguson, along
Speaker 10: with Attorney General Nick Brown. Instead of calling for a
Speaker 10: robust investigation into the Somali daycares, they're now playing defense.
Speaker 1: They're pointing fingers at President Trump. They're calling us harassers.
Speaker 10: So again I think, uh, there's clearly a coordinated effort
Speaker 10: going on.
Speaker 1: Right now.
Speaker 4: We have that clip Jonathan of the New She was
Speaker 4: just sworn in this morning, right, a couple of days ago,
Speaker 4: Cody Wilson. Okay, so she's just sworn in. She's an act.
Speaker 4: When we say she's a socialist, she's actually a socialist.
Speaker 4: She she's proud of this because herself she's a part
Speaker 4: of the Democrats Socialists of America. She narrowly won her
Speaker 4: election over the incumbent there. It was just a you know,
Speaker 4: I guess more of a traditional Democrat.
Speaker 6: Uh.
Speaker 4: Well, here's one sixty six Seattle Americ Katie Wilson calling
Speaker 4: Jonathan Choe and Cam Higby extremist influencers, which is, it's
Speaker 4: a bold claim one sixty six.
Speaker 1: So bad.
Speaker 7: Everyone has a place in Seattle, this is your city.
Speaker 5: That is that you belong here.
Speaker 3: As you put it, extremeistly influencers have a place in Seattle,
Speaker 3: John Well.
Speaker 5: I asked her. She said in.
Speaker 2: Her speech that everybody has a place in Seattle. And
Speaker 2: I said, Katie, you said everyone has a place in Seattle,
Speaker 2: does that include.
Speaker 7: As you put it, extremist influencers?
Speaker 2: And she worked at you and she said, well, there's
Speaker 2: one standing right there, so I guess so.
Speaker 7: And then he's calling me an extremist influence.
Speaker 1: Yea.
Speaker 10: Again I triggered that post apparently, and.
Speaker 3: Then I asked her if her administration will investigate Somebali
Speaker 3: daycare fraud and she literally started pushing me away. All right,
Speaker 3: staff mushered me away. So it's all on camera. We
Speaker 3: simply stood in line. We just wanted to ask her
Speaker 3: basic questions. But Katie Wilson and her administration afraid of
Speaker 3: questions basically, yeah, terrified questions.
Speaker 7: Yeah, that's amazing.
Speaker 4: Good for you, Jonathan, I mean, you know, Minnesota's getting
Speaker 4: all the attention, but Washington is an absolute hotbed of extreme,
Speaker 4: actual extremists on the left. They're going to ruin that stity.
Speaker 4: This is a state that is a proud capitalist past.
Speaker 4: I mean, you've got Boeing, you've got Starbucks, you've got Microsoft,
Speaker 4: there's Amazon. This is a proudly capitalist state and it's
Speaker 4: kind of got this. People don't understand this, Like the
Speaker 4: Seattle area has this kind of Scandinavian heritage as well,
Speaker 4: like very intrepid entrepreneurs, very self sufficient people. It's getting
Speaker 4: completely annihilated from the you know, the I would say,
Speaker 4: from progressive left, but the tax base, the massive inflation,
Speaker 4: influx of foreigners, the traffic in Seattle is horrendous now
Speaker 4: by the way, but it's just I shocked at how
Speaker 4: much fraud we've explored, and we've discovered already in Minnesota,
Speaker 4: but how much we're about to discover in Washington State.
Speaker 4: And the question that I then have, Jonathan, is that
Speaker 4: instead of investigating it, they're showing you away. What is
Speaker 4: the reticence with actually investigating this fraud?
Speaker 10: Great question you've got to ask them, And I want
Speaker 10: to be very clear, you know, people like me, Cam Higbee,
Speaker 10: Kristen Magnuson, and all the other citizen journalists who've been digging.
Speaker 10: It's because the Washington State Department of Children, Youth and Families,
Speaker 10: the actual agency get this that not only funds these
Speaker 10: Somali daycares, but is also supposed to investigate the daycares.
Speaker 1: Well, they're not doing their job.
Speaker 10: I mean, we've reached out to DCYF numerous times now.
Speaker 10: They're not returning our requests for comment. I called them
Speaker 10: several times. Their voicemail box is still full. So the
Speaker 10: best part of this is that DCYF also on the
Speaker 10: web page put out a statement basically advising daycares on
Speaker 10: how to respond to all the people making inquiries. But
Speaker 10: there's no place at all on the website right now
Speaker 10: to make complaints about suspicious Somali daycares.
Speaker 5: That's by design.
Speaker 10: Yeah, it does seem that way, And that's exactly what
Speaker 10: the Washington State geopiece at Jim Walsh, Travis Couture, two
Speaker 10: state representatives now also leading the charge here trying to
Speaker 10: look into it's actually happening. They've gone, as you know,
Speaker 10: so far to say this is essentially a kickback scheme.
Speaker 10: We've also uncovered that a lot of the Somali daycares
Speaker 10: have donated to Democratic candidates, not conservative Republican candidates, but
Speaker 10: Democratic candidates. So it's this vicious cycle that they're alleging.
Speaker 10: So again we are at the very early stages of
Speaker 10: this investigation. In fact, Nick Shirley is a friend of ours.
Speaker 10: We've invited him, he might come here. We've talked to
Speaker 10: other journalists across the country. We are urging more eyes
Speaker 10: on this state.
Speaker 4: You know, it's shocking, and I want to get back
Speaker 4: to this idea. I mean, I lived in Seattle. I
Speaker 4: went to the University of Washington, and when I was there,
Speaker 4: it was, like I said, proudly capitalists. This was a
Speaker 4: people that knew how to run. It was kind of
Speaker 4: like Minnesota where it formerly used to be this sort
Speaker 4: of well run blue state. It functioned, there was order,
Speaker 4: kind of the old Charlie used to talk about this
Speaker 4: all the time with the old Democrats at ran Chicago.
Speaker 4: They knew how to run a city. Yeah we're Democrats,
Speaker 4: but it was sort of like the.
Speaker 5: Old school version.
Speaker 4: And now you're getting whether it's New York or Minnesota,
Speaker 4: you've got a basically a communist running Chicago. Now you've
Speaker 4: got a communist, we'll just keep it what it is.
Speaker 4: A socialist running Seattle. I mean, this is a really
Speaker 4: scary trend that we're seeing socialist Seattle, communist, socialist running Chicago,
Speaker 4: socialist running New York. I don't know what the heck
Speaker 4: is going on Minnesota, but they're basically trying to give
Speaker 4: away every single dollar that comes into the coffers. And
Speaker 4: it is going to play out exactly how we know
Speaker 4: it's going to play out, where rampant fraud, rampant fleecing
Speaker 4: of the tax taxpayers and residents that are productive are
Speaker 4: going to flee the state. It's just there's there's no
Speaker 4: you mentioned this in Minnesota. New York's moving to Florida
Speaker 4: and other places. Illinois filling up Phoenix. I can tell
Speaker 4: you that the city's full of Chicagoans that have fled
Speaker 4: this date. Have you have you felt that already in
Speaker 4: just what kind of in the last couple of years, Jonathan,
Speaker 4: And now it's going to get worse in Seattle. Are
Speaker 4: you seeing businesses starting to flee the state? Are you
Speaker 4: seeing people flee the state?
Speaker 10: Absolutely, the exodus has already begun. Just look at the
Speaker 10: data and the numbers downtown Seattle, the commercial real estate,
Speaker 10: the vacancies are an all time high. You have property
Speaker 10: values starting to drop. You have people now you know,
Speaker 10: for example, Amazon and Meta, they were going to expand
Speaker 10: in Seattle, but instead they're moving to nearby Bellevue, which
Speaker 10: is only fifteen minutes away, which is safer, which has
Speaker 10: is pro police, and is simply a better run city.
Speaker 10: So what's happening now again in Washington? The concern is
Speaker 10: that all the patriots who were common sense have now
Speaker 10: left and there's no one left to fight. And maybe
Speaker 10: it is all by design that the GOP you know,
Speaker 10: continues to you know, pass these insane policies, frustrating common
Speaker 10: sense folk, and the folk who are going to challenge them,
Speaker 10: they're no longer we're here to do that. So again,
Speaker 10: a lot of theories happening right now. But I'm seeing
Speaker 10: again the data and I'm seeing people now voting with
Speaker 10: their feet.
Speaker 1: And that's what's happening in Washington.
Speaker 4: Yeah, and you saw that. You see that in California too.
Speaker 4: It's like if all the people would have just stayed
Speaker 4: and fought in California, you know, we probably could have
Speaker 4: won back calf honestly, I mean it. It's a bittersweet,
Speaker 4: you know, pilled a swade.
Speaker 7: I maybe we could have won back Oh I do.
Speaker 4: I mean if you if you go back to the nineties,
Speaker 4: I mean, people are starting to flee the state California
Speaker 4: in the nineties. I mean we're talking millions of people
Speaker 4: over the last twenty five years, thirty years.
Speaker 7: You can see how many votes we lost mine.
Speaker 5: Wow, I mean, yeah, fair enough.
Speaker 4: I know, call me a uh you know, conspiracy theories
Speaker 4: if you want. But I actually it is a problem though,
Speaker 4: because and then you know, states like Arizona get benefited
Speaker 4: from Texas, Florida, A lot of a lot of red
Speaker 4: states are benefiting. Jonathan Shoe, I know you are midway
Speaker 4: on this investigation. Please come back when you conclude it.
Speaker 4: We want to we want to platform a showcase it
Speaker 4: make sure the world knows TPOA front lines Jonathan show

Speaker 4: In the meantime, Blake, you went up to the Great
Speaker 4: Frozen North and you survived.
Speaker 7: Yes, I did.
Speaker 5: For the break, What'd you do?
Speaker 7: I read that Hideous Strength in We kept Yeah, we
Speaker 7: kept read. We kept talking about it with the ad
Speaker 7: and that was the only one I hadn't read.
Speaker 5: So I went to read A Hillsdale nor is it.
Speaker 7: Yes, it's very strange. It's it's not exactly it's it's
Speaker 7: a dystopian novel like the others in that listing in
Speaker 7: nineteen eighty four Brave North, but it's a lot weirder.
Speaker 7: It has King Arthur related elements that pop up halfway through. Weird,
Speaker 7: very weird.
Speaker 5: Well, I now need to take the Hillsdale.
Speaker 7: Course exactly, which you might need to read the prelude
Speaker 7: books too. It's it's a little less weird if you
Speaker 7: it's the end of a trilogy. If you're reading it
Speaker 7: as your only book in that trilogy, you ever read
Speaker 7: the first two, it's got to be one of the
Speaker 7: weirdest books you've ever I.
Speaker 4: Stayed in Phoenix and I I shot off thousands of
Speaker 4: dollars that I didn't pay for them. But we went
Speaker 4: to this house and we got there with the kids
Speaker 4: and they had literal fireworks with the mortar shells, you know,
Speaker 4: like five inch and seven inch Chris, New Year's fireworks.
Speaker 4: New Year's yeah, New Year's Yeah. I mean there was
Speaker 4: other houses doing it. I think it's fairly common.
Speaker 7: I thought you were gonna say, like thousands of dollars
Speaker 7: worth of Ammo, like you went right. That sounds very Arizona.
Speaker 5: That would have been very cool. But we just fired
Speaker 5: them off. It was pretty fun.
Speaker 4: The kids enjoyed it, And I will tell you I
Speaker 4: had a legitimate celebration. Is that probably the first that
Speaker 4: apparently it's very illegal in Arizona.
Speaker 5: I didn't do it, well, I did it.
Speaker 7: You're throwing all the blame on your own children.
Speaker 5: It was my children.
Speaker 7: Very suspicious.
Speaker 4: Yeah, And the house that we were at, I can
Speaker 4: either confirm nor deny that this story I've just told is.
Speaker 5: True, but it's true, and it was.
Speaker 4: But I will tell you I had a legitimate celebration.
Speaker 4: I was so ready for twenty twenty five, twenty twenty
Speaker 4: five to be over. It was just a terribly tragic year,
Speaker 4: and we missed Charlie and it's time to turn the
Speaker 4: page and have a new start. It really was so
Speaker 4: revisiting this topic. Thomas Massey threw up at one eighty five.
Speaker 4: He tweeted out, wake up, Maga. Venezuela is not about drugs.
Speaker 4: It's about oil and regime change. This is not what
Speaker 4: we voted for. And to that, Blake, your your response is.
Speaker 7: I think it's very funny that Trump comes out and
Speaker 7: basically says, he's like, we did this to take the oil.
Speaker 7: We're taking all the oil from Venezuela, and then everyone's
Speaker 7: pointing and saying, don't be tricked, this is about oil.
Speaker 4: Well, I mean, I do think that there there is
Speaker 4: a little bit of this going on.
Speaker 5: I mean, I'll be honest, I think there's.
Speaker 4: A little bit of We have the legal precursor with
Speaker 4: drugs and narco trafficking, and we have the indictments, and
Speaker 4: he's an illegitimate person.
Speaker 5: That's you know, But.
Speaker 4: This is about kind of I would say, this is
Speaker 4: about two things. I'm gonna say, one that is provable,
Speaker 4: one that is a bit conspiratory, one that's provable. This
Speaker 4: is about the messy business of empire, and people don't
Speaker 4: like to hear it.
Speaker 5: But America.
Speaker 4: Yeah, we're not an empire in sort of a classical
Speaker 4: Roman sense, but we are an economic behemoth and we
Speaker 4: are a hedgemon. And there are threats to the hegemony.
Speaker 4: Right there is the bricks nations. There's Iran, Russia, China
Speaker 4: that are working to forge inroads in the Western hemisphere,
Speaker 4: gain access to mineral rights, gain access to friendly dictators
Speaker 4: that will allow them to use their countries as play things.
Speaker 4: And you've got by the way, people, people don't understand
Speaker 4: how insidious the Cuban intelligence arm is really. They they
Speaker 4: have massive presence in the United States but also throughout
Speaker 4: South America.
Speaker 5: It's their one X. Let's not go to it's there
Speaker 5: one export. What's there?
Speaker 7: Okay? They done?
Speaker 5: All right, just hear me out.
Speaker 4: So you've got all these You've got all of these
Speaker 4: countries that have a presence that are not friendly to
Speaker 4: the United States in Venezuela and here we have an
Speaker 4: opportunity to depose a dictator. You have legal ability to
Speaker 4: do it, and there is a larger hemispheric rationale economically
Speaker 4: to do it.
Speaker 5: Okay.
Speaker 4: Secondly, and this is where I'm gonna get your real
Speaker 4: eye rolls. More so than the Cubans. There is a story,
Speaker 4: and I would be remiss if I didn't bring it
Speaker 4: up that suggests that Trump is because you've got these
Speaker 4: voting systems with the origin stories in Venezuela.
Speaker 5: Yes, this is going on on the internet.
Speaker 4: So if you don't want to hear it, you know,
Speaker 4: maybe maybe maybe you know, that's fine, that's your I'm
Speaker 4: not saying I endorse it. I'm just saying people are saying.
Speaker 4: Many people are saying Smartmatic and Dominion have origin stories,
Speaker 4: or at least one of them does in Venezuela. And
Speaker 4: the idea is that President Trump is doing this actually
Speaker 4: is some sort of three D chess move to find
Speaker 4: out the truth about the twenty twenty election. Good luck you, Smartmatic,
Speaker 4: smart Maatic the one.
Speaker 7: I hope that's not the case, because I don't think
Speaker 7: if an American troop gets killed and it turns out
Speaker 7: that they did this, I would to go after Dominion.
Speaker 7: I think that would be a catastrophic error.
Speaker 4: Listen, it's smart Matic apparently. Anyways, So the point is
Speaker 4: that is a one of the theories circulating is that
Speaker 4: there are you know, Emerald Robinson, I think was one
Speaker 4: of the people that has reported on this just saying
Speaker 4: house and Habit did a whole thing on it. I
Speaker 4: saw it was going around. People need to be aware
Speaker 4: that would be bad. I don't think that they're going
Speaker 4: to you know, state this publicly, but I do think that,
Speaker 4: you know, President Trump and starts posting on true social
Speaker 4: about the twenty twenty election right after Maduro.
Speaker 7: I think the most interest well, he always posts about
Speaker 7: the twenty twenty election. I think what's most interesting to
Speaker 7: me is that is the take that they told Trump,
Speaker 7: President Trump, that we're doing this for oil, and the
Speaker 7: math doesn't quite work out in that way. Like Venezuela
Speaker 7: has a lot of oil, but it's not very good oil.
Speaker 7: It's not as profitable to extract as America's own oil.
Speaker 7: And also, since we're a net energy exporter, we don't
Speaker 7: necessarily love of way lower oil prices. It's more complicated. Uh,
Speaker 7: But that they told President Trump this to kind of
Speaker 7: sell him on it, because he does like that more
Speaker 7: mercenary attitude. He like, you know with Ukraine, where they're saying, okay,
Speaker 7: support Ukraine, but then we'll get this rare Earth's deal.
Speaker 7: You get this more straightforward thing out of it, or
Speaker 7: how he's always said, we should have taken it rax oil.
Speaker 7: They almost need to sell him on any foreign intervention
Speaker 7: by saying, oh, oh yeah, and we can take the
Speaker 7: oil too, and then he gets more easy as about it.
Speaker 5: You did see that.
Speaker 7: Well, they're they're doing it for the reasons you stayed
Speaker 7: of keep out China, or box in Cuba, or spread
Speaker 7: democracy or or what have you.
Speaker 4: We got an email from Mike c apparently Danny's telling
Speaker 4: me all that your emails are pro Trump anti Massy.
Speaker 4: So great, it says, great job, Andrew and Blake. Please
Speaker 4: with Trump's actions in Venezuela, long overdue, tired of the
Speaker 4: years of talk from week politicians executing a fake war
Speaker 4: on drugs, the cartels and the third world thugs behind it.
Speaker 4: Let this be a lesson to Mexico, Colombia and Cuba.
Speaker 4: And I do think there is a point here, you know,
Speaker 4: and you saw Marco Rubio said it. Well, if for
Speaker 4: those those of you in the world that still want
Speaker 4: to mess around with America and you think that Trump's
Speaker 4: just a man of talk and press conference, that's not it.
Speaker 4: He is a man of action and there will be consequences.
Speaker 4: I still want to make sure that this plays out
Speaker 4: the right way. We don't get over extended that the
Speaker 4: transition can happen to a friendlier government to the United States.
Speaker 4: We can have an actual, real thriving Venezuela. That would
Speaker 4: be great. If and if there's a lot, there's a lot.
Speaker 7: Between now and it's it's good. If it goes well, yeah,
Speaker 7: it's bad. If it goes badly, I know well. Winners
Speaker 7: win well blues.
