1
00:00:01,400 --> 00:00:06,160
Speaker 1: Fallout after the viral video showing widespread fraud in Minnesota

2
00:00:06,640 --> 00:00:10,440
Speaker 1: doesn't seem to be stopping the Governor Tim Waltz from

3
00:00:10,600 --> 00:00:14,160
Speaker 1: doing what he does best standing with the Somali community.

4
00:00:14,800 --> 00:00:18,439
Speaker 1: Not only is he refusing to answer questions from the media,

5
00:00:18,960 --> 00:00:22,639
Speaker 1: he's now saying he wants to bring more Somalians into

6
00:00:22,680 --> 00:00:26,560
Speaker 1: Minnesota to back up the fraud and abuse. Apparently that's

7
00:00:26,800 --> 00:00:31,120
Speaker 1: already happened this coming out of Seattle, as Tim walt

8
00:00:31,160 --> 00:00:36,159
Speaker 1: ignores the questions about apologizing to Minnesota over the Somali

9
00:00:36,240 --> 00:00:38,360
Speaker 1: fraud and then listen to what he had to say

10
00:00:38,360 --> 00:00:40,680
Speaker 1: at a luncheon about it as well.

11
00:00:41,760 --> 00:00:44,440
Speaker 2: Dofter Walt's what can you say about the latest on

12
00:00:44,479 --> 00:00:46,160
Speaker 2: the Somali fraud that happened.

13
00:00:45,960 --> 00:00:47,240
Speaker 3: Under your watch? Governor?

14
00:00:47,360 --> 00:00:49,360
Speaker 2: Have you been able to apologize yet to the people

15
00:00:49,400 --> 00:00:53,040
Speaker 2: of Minnesota for allowing this Somali fraud to continue under.

16
00:00:52,880 --> 00:00:54,480
Speaker 3: Your watching of the people of Minnesota?

17
00:00:54,640 --> 00:00:57,880
Speaker 2: Is the time to apologize? How about the whistleblowers? Then

18
00:00:58,080 --> 00:01:02,560
Speaker 2: you have allegedly retaliated again. Would you like to respond

19
00:01:02,640 --> 00:01:03,560
Speaker 2: to the whistleblowers?

20
00:01:03,680 --> 00:01:06,720
Speaker 3: And right how our neighbors are being demonized. Our neighbors

21
00:01:06,760 --> 00:01:07,800
Speaker 3: are being terrifized.

22
00:01:07,880 --> 00:01:10,280
Speaker 1: Our neighbors are being can go off the students.

23
00:01:10,920 --> 00:01:15,120
Speaker 4: The antidote to that is is positive actions to improve

24
00:01:15,240 --> 00:01:17,560
Speaker 4: lives that go against what they're trying to do.

25
00:01:17,840 --> 00:01:18,520
Speaker 3: So instead of.

26
00:01:18,480 --> 00:01:21,360
Speaker 4: Demonizing are small, we're going to be war as welcome,

27
00:01:21,440 --> 00:01:23,120
Speaker 4: orient and welcome people better.

28
00:01:24,160 --> 00:01:29,200
Speaker 1: Instead, we're going to that's right. You just heard the

29
00:01:29,240 --> 00:01:32,679
Speaker 1: governor of Minnesota say instead of cutting programs filled with

30
00:01:32,800 --> 00:01:38,600
Speaker 1: billions of dollars of fraud, we're going to enhance those programs.

31
00:01:39,319 --> 00:01:42,080
Speaker 1: He said. Instead of getting rid of people, we're going

32
00:01:42,120 --> 00:01:46,120
Speaker 1: to be more welcoming. Instead of demonizing our Somali community,

33
00:01:46,200 --> 00:01:51,320
Speaker 1: we're going to be bringing more of them in, welcoming

34
00:01:51,440 --> 00:01:56,720
Speaker 1: more of them in. Why what a governor after billions

35
00:01:56,760 --> 00:01:59,800
Speaker 1: of dollars of fraud is exposed would say something this

36
00:02:00,080 --> 00:02:04,000
Speaker 1: out of touch with reality. Well, it's very simple. Governor

37
00:02:04,000 --> 00:02:06,960
Speaker 1: Waltz knows that he could not be reelected without the

38
00:02:06,960 --> 00:02:10,760
Speaker 1: Somali community. There is a large voting block, and the

39
00:02:10,800 --> 00:02:14,120
Speaker 1: Somali community votes basically one hundred percent of the time together.

40
00:02:14,760 --> 00:02:18,079
Speaker 1: It's not like normal America. We're fifty percent or conservative

41
00:02:18,120 --> 00:02:21,000
Speaker 1: and fifty percent or liberal, or forty five percent or

42
00:02:21,000 --> 00:02:23,240
Speaker 1: conservative and forty five percent or liberal, and then there's

43
00:02:23,280 --> 00:02:26,399
Speaker 1: the undecideds in the middle, the Somali community, you get,

44
00:02:26,440 --> 00:02:29,560
Speaker 1: all of them are virtually none of their vote. And

45
00:02:29,600 --> 00:02:32,600
Speaker 1: Governor Waltz is basically saying, I'm willing to sell out

46
00:02:32,639 --> 00:02:38,360
Speaker 1: Minnesota's taxpayers and federal taxpayers to save the Somali community,

47
00:02:38,639 --> 00:02:42,000
Speaker 1: putting them ahead of American citizens that are being defrauded.

48
00:02:42,560 --> 00:02:46,679
Speaker 1: Which brings us to the Trump administration's response to this insanity.

49
00:02:47,240 --> 00:02:51,640
Speaker 1: The Department of Homeland Security under Secretary Nome has now

50
00:02:51,720 --> 00:02:57,000
Speaker 1: confirmed that federal Homeland Security agents are actively conducting a

51
00:02:57,120 --> 00:03:02,640
Speaker 1: major fraud investigation in Minneapolis, focusing on the childcare centers

52
00:03:02,680 --> 00:03:07,480
Speaker 1: and other alleged rampant fraud schemes. Agents have been observed

53
00:03:07,520 --> 00:03:10,640
Speaker 1: going door to door at suspected sites as part of

54
00:03:10,639 --> 00:03:14,280
Speaker 1: the probe in the last twenty four hours. The administration

55
00:03:15,480 --> 00:03:19,240
Speaker 1: is portraying the operations part of a broader effort to

56
00:03:19,320 --> 00:03:24,120
Speaker 1: protect federal funds and ensure accountability, framing these activities as

57
00:03:24,400 --> 00:03:29,920
Speaker 1: legitimate law enforcement actions that are expanding and that moves

58
00:03:30,000 --> 00:03:34,079
Speaker 1: us to the FBI. FBI Director Cash battel Is announced

59
00:03:34,080 --> 00:03:38,920
Speaker 1: that the bureau has also surged additional agents and new

60
00:03:38,960 --> 00:03:43,920
Speaker 1: investigative resources to Minnesota at large to investigate what officials

61
00:03:43,920 --> 00:03:48,400
Speaker 1: are describing as a large scale fraud schemes involving federal

62
00:03:48,440 --> 00:03:52,560
Speaker 1: aid programs amounting into the hundreds of millions, if not

63
00:03:52,720 --> 00:03:57,680
Speaker 1: billions of dollars. Director Battel characterized the known fraud cases

64
00:03:58,000 --> 00:04:02,560
Speaker 1: as possibly the tip of a very large iceberg, referring

65
00:04:02,600 --> 00:04:07,280
Speaker 1: to previous investigations like Feeding Our Future and new leads

66
00:04:07,320 --> 00:04:11,120
Speaker 1: sparked by the recent media attention as well as whistleblowers

67
00:04:11,120 --> 00:04:14,640
Speaker 1: coming forward that also brings us to the US Immigration

68
00:04:14,800 --> 00:04:18,760
Speaker 1: and Customs Enforcement known as ICE. They often work under

69
00:04:18,760 --> 00:04:22,120
Speaker 1: the Department of Homeland Security, and it has been reported

70
00:04:22,200 --> 00:04:25,800
Speaker 1: that they are targeting suspected fraud sites in Minnesota to

71
00:04:25,920 --> 00:04:31,880
Speaker 1: identify and address possible immigration related violations, including checks on

72
00:04:31,960 --> 00:04:37,560
Speaker 1: legal status and enforcement where applicable. Some news reports are

73
00:04:37,560 --> 00:04:40,359
Speaker 1: also indicating that there have been door to door operations

74
00:04:40,920 --> 00:04:46,960
Speaker 1: connected with the fraud investigation that also involved immigration enforcement elements.

75
00:04:47,640 --> 00:04:50,840
Speaker 1: Specific numbers and targets are in flux, but we will

76
00:04:50,920 --> 00:04:53,920
Speaker 1: keep you updated on when we get the hard numbers. Now,

77
00:04:53,960 --> 00:04:58,359
Speaker 1: all of this has triggered a federal response because of

78
00:04:58,440 --> 00:05:04,599
Speaker 1: the virals. Media video showing alleged empty daycare centers and

79
00:05:04,720 --> 00:05:11,159
Speaker 1: nonetheless receiving no significant public information from the governor, the

80
00:05:11,200 --> 00:05:15,480
Speaker 1: Attorney General of Minnesota, or even from the mainstream media.

81
00:05:16,120 --> 00:05:21,680
Speaker 1: Conservative leaders including Ted Cruz, Vice President Vance have publicly

82
00:05:21,720 --> 00:05:25,279
Speaker 1: praised the video's impact in drawing federal attention to the

83
00:05:25,360 --> 00:05:29,000
Speaker 1: matter as well the FBI and the Department of Home Security.

84
00:05:29,040 --> 00:05:34,640
Speaker 1: Response also blends long standing fraud investigations with new actions

85
00:05:34,680 --> 00:05:39,159
Speaker 1: tied to the recent spotlight on the Minnesota programs, which

86
00:05:39,160 --> 00:05:42,359
Speaker 1: brings us back to the Minnesota Governor, Tim Waltz. He

87
00:05:42,520 --> 00:05:46,719
Speaker 1: is being criticized by federal figures and GOP lawmakers the

88
00:05:46,760 --> 00:05:50,839
Speaker 1: Trump administration, framing the situation as evidence of lacks oversight

89
00:05:51,320 --> 00:05:55,200
Speaker 1: of federal funds, and officials in Minnesota are even angry

90
00:05:55,200 --> 00:05:59,880
Speaker 1: as well, bringing up broader claims emphasizing existing efforts to

91
00:06:00,240 --> 00:06:05,560
Speaker 1: fight fraud, and the whistleblowers were punished by the governor.

92
00:06:06,240 --> 00:06:09,080
Speaker 1: So that brings us to where we are now. What

93
00:06:09,160 --> 00:06:11,520
Speaker 1: we know is it looks like law and order will

94
00:06:11,520 --> 00:06:14,279
Speaker 1: be restored, even if the governor says we want to

95
00:06:14,279 --> 00:06:17,520
Speaker 1: bring in more Somali's for more fraud, even when he

96
00:06:17,600 --> 00:06:21,760
Speaker 1: says that we're demonizing those that are taking billions of

97
00:06:21,800 --> 00:06:26,040
Speaker 1: dollars away from American citizens. So Governor Waltz can hang

98
00:06:26,080 --> 00:06:29,320
Speaker 1: out on stage and say this is his plan. But

99
00:06:29,400 --> 00:06:32,599
Speaker 1: it's clear that law and order and law enforcement is

100
00:06:32,640 --> 00:06:35,479
Speaker 1: going to take place, and it could even involve the

101
00:06:35,600 --> 00:06:41,960
Speaker 1: governor himself. Minnesota's Somali fraud scandal has exploded over the weekend,

102
00:06:42,160 --> 00:06:45,679
Speaker 1: all because of a very brave YouTuber in his early

103
00:06:45,760 --> 00:06:49,560
Speaker 1: twenties that decided to do the job that the entire

104
00:06:49,680 --> 00:06:53,719
Speaker 1: media apparatus chose not to do. Now, did he do

105
00:06:53,880 --> 00:06:58,720
Speaker 1: some unbelievable amount of undercover journalism to get this story. No,

106
00:06:59,400 --> 00:07:02,599
Speaker 1: he just went and asked basic questions and knocked on

107
00:07:02,720 --> 00:07:07,200
Speaker 1: doors and what he found was billions of dollars in fraud.

108
00:07:07,960 --> 00:07:11,480
Speaker 1: We also now know that the FBI Director Cash Patel

109
00:07:12,040 --> 00:07:15,239
Speaker 1: has said the Minnesota fraud's scheme is a now quote

110
00:07:15,360 --> 00:07:19,360
Speaker 1: top FBI priority and is calling it the tip of

111
00:07:19,400 --> 00:07:23,840
Speaker 1: a very large iceberg. He also made it clear that

112
00:07:23,880 --> 00:07:26,680
Speaker 1: the FBI is not only aware of the videos that

113
00:07:26,720 --> 00:07:29,320
Speaker 1: have gone viral over the weekend, but is going to

114
00:07:29,360 --> 00:07:32,520
Speaker 1: do everything to bring those who have been committing this

115
00:07:32,680 --> 00:07:38,640
Speaker 1: fraud to justice, including denaturalization. Now, let's get to the

116
00:07:38,680 --> 00:07:42,160
Speaker 1: core of what exploded over the weekend, and the biggest

117
00:07:42,160 --> 00:07:46,400
Speaker 1: part of the story is simply asking questions by a

118
00:07:46,520 --> 00:07:50,280
Speaker 1: very brave young man. He put up his video on

119
00:07:50,400 --> 00:07:54,280
Speaker 1: social media. It is one that has obviously gone viral

120
00:07:55,040 --> 00:07:59,440
Speaker 1: and it's an important story about an individual using the

121
00:07:59,520 --> 00:08:03,080
Speaker 1: power of a cell phone to then turn it into

122
00:08:03,160 --> 00:08:07,960
Speaker 1: a forty two minute investigative video. Nick Shirley went out

123
00:08:08,080 --> 00:08:12,240
Speaker 1: to the addresses that were listed on the government's website

124
00:08:12,360 --> 00:08:15,920
Speaker 1: in Minnesota where the money had been going by the

125
00:08:16,080 --> 00:08:19,600
Speaker 1: millions of dollars to see what he could find, and

126
00:08:19,640 --> 00:08:24,200
Speaker 1: what he found was incredibly shocking, massive fraud and no

127
00:08:24,520 --> 00:08:29,400
Speaker 1: kids playing at any of the learning centers time after time.

128
00:08:29,920 --> 00:08:35,119
Speaker 1: Guess what happened. He didn't see anybody actually doing anything

129
00:08:35,200 --> 00:08:39,280
Speaker 1: with kids. Now, the government surely knew this, but they

130
00:08:39,280 --> 00:08:42,320
Speaker 1: didn't care because they're in on the scheme as well.

131
00:08:42,960 --> 00:08:46,400
Speaker 1: Which brings me to playing part of the videos for you.

132
00:08:47,000 --> 00:08:49,839
Speaker 1: I encourage you to watch the entire forty two minute

133
00:08:49,880 --> 00:08:53,800
Speaker 1: investigative video. I've put it up on x on Instagram

134
00:08:53,840 --> 00:08:56,640
Speaker 1: and on Facebook, but I want to play part of

135
00:08:56,679 --> 00:09:00,439
Speaker 1: what Shirley uncovered and one widely shared scene. What you're

136
00:09:00,440 --> 00:09:04,120
Speaker 1: gonna hear Shirley highlight that one center received about two

137
00:09:04,200 --> 00:09:08,120
Speaker 1: million dollars this last year in twenty twenty five alone,

138
00:09:08,880 --> 00:09:13,320
Speaker 1: despite no children or activity being a parent at the

139
00:09:13,480 --> 00:09:17,559
Speaker 1: site during daytime visits. Now, Shirley's video claims it over

140
00:09:17,600 --> 00:09:21,840
Speaker 1: one hundred and ten million in fraud was documented in

141
00:09:21,920 --> 00:09:25,800
Speaker 1: a single day of investigative reporting. Why did the media

142
00:09:25,880 --> 00:09:30,160
Speaker 1: not do this story? Again, this was not some massive whistleblower.

143
00:09:30,559 --> 00:09:36,080
Speaker 1: This was simply using publicly available data from the government

144
00:09:36,160 --> 00:09:40,600
Speaker 1: of Minnesota to then go and ask questions. And Shirley

145
00:09:40,920 --> 00:09:43,840
Speaker 1: was the only one that apparently was willing to do

146
00:09:43,960 --> 00:09:47,880
Speaker 1: the job that all of the media chose not to do.

147
00:09:48,600 --> 00:09:52,800
Speaker 1: So take a listen to one incredible part of that video.

148
00:09:53,480 --> 00:09:55,800
Speaker 4: When I look at the world as whole and I

149
00:09:55,840 --> 00:10:01,160
Speaker 4: look at fraud, the Twin Cities is own zero. The

150
00:10:01,240 --> 00:10:05,600
Speaker 4: fraud is worse here than anywhere else ever in history, anywhere.

151
00:10:05,720 --> 00:10:07,480
Speaker 3: We're gonna go in front these people, We're gonna go

152
00:10:07,520 --> 00:10:09,720
Speaker 3: to these daycare centers, We're gonna see what's actually happening.

153
00:10:09,840 --> 00:10:12,559
Speaker 4: Okay, So we have to be careful because these people

154
00:10:12,559 --> 00:10:15,200
Speaker 4: are very violent. They're exceptionally violent.

155
00:10:15,600 --> 00:10:17,920
Speaker 3: Now, with all of David's evidence, we headed out to

156
00:10:17,960 --> 00:10:20,160
Speaker 3: the streets of Minneapolis to see how much fraud we

157
00:10:20,200 --> 00:10:23,760
Speaker 3: could uncover in one afternoon. Where are we going now.

158
00:10:24,160 --> 00:10:27,200
Speaker 4: We're going to a place called Maco Childcare, which actually

159
00:10:27,280 --> 00:10:32,360

Speaker 3: Much money have these childcare centers received.

166
00:10:46,480 --> 00:10:49,120

Speaker 4: got seven hundred and fourteen thousand. That's the last I

171
00:11:00,840 --> 00:11:03,440
Speaker 4: have for that one, and then the other one one

172
00:11:03,480 --> 00:11:08,200

00:11:19,200 --> 00:11:22,240
Speaker 4: place right here, yes, outside of it, well, this is

177
00:11:22,280 --> 00:11:26,000
Speaker 4: actually two daycares are registered here. One of them is

178
00:11:26,040 --> 00:11:28,520
Speaker 4: Mako what you see on the sign. The other one

179
00:11:28,559 --> 00:11:32,640
Speaker 4: is Many childcare Center. And between the two of these

180
00:11:33,600 --> 00:11:36,640
Speaker 4: childcare centers, they're pulling in about three million dollars a year,

181
00:11:38,280 --> 00:11:40,920
Speaker 4: and there are no children. Every facility is you go to,

182
00:11:41,000 --> 00:11:43,200
Speaker 4: the windows will be blocked out so you can't see in.

183
00:11:44,080 --> 00:11:46,760
Speaker 4: There's nobody here. You won't see a single child at

184
00:11:46,760 --> 00:11:47,920
Speaker 4: any of these facilities.

185
00:11:48,559 --> 00:11:52,040
Speaker 3: There are indeed no windows. All the windows are blocked

186
00:11:52,080 --> 00:11:57,240
Speaker 3: out right here. All right, let's go in and the

187
00:11:57,320 --> 00:12:01,160
Speaker 3: childcare center is locked. Shooting the doorbell, try to get in,

188
00:12:01,280 --> 00:12:04,520
Speaker 3: rang the doorbell, nobody showed up. They're open seven days

189
00:12:04,520 --> 00:12:06,800
Speaker 3: a week at seventy to ten pm, it says here

190
00:12:06,800 --> 00:12:10,480
Speaker 3: on their sign. Yet there's absolutely nobody here. And this

191
00:12:10,600 --> 00:12:14,880
Speaker 3: building here right here has generated millions of dollars, and

192
00:12:15,800 --> 00:12:17,600
Speaker 3: it seems like business isn't even open right now, and

193
00:12:17,640 --> 00:12:19,480
Speaker 3: it's a weekday. And if this was a daycare center,

194
00:12:19,520 --> 00:12:21,760
Speaker 3: it wouldn't just be in some industrialized building there. It'd

195
00:12:21,760 --> 00:12:23,920
Speaker 3: be maybe like a playground or something outside.

196
00:12:23,600 --> 00:12:28,480
Speaker 4: Or there's no play area for the kids. So where

197
00:12:28,480 --> 00:12:31,640
Speaker 4: are the kids? Where's anybody? How can there be nobody here?

198
00:12:31,840 --> 00:12:35,560
Speaker 4: And it's like this every single day I've never seen

199
00:12:35,600 --> 00:12:39,960
Speaker 4: a single child here in nine years, I've never seen

200
00:12:39,960 --> 00:12:42,160
Speaker 4: a single child at this building right there.

229

Speaker 3: as they're receiving literally millions of dollars. I knocked on

231
00:14:12,080 --> 00:14:16,280

00:18:15,960 --> 00:18:18,520
Speaker 3: in our vehicle right now. From this daycare center, we

316
00:18:18,560 --> 00:18:23,040
Speaker 3: headed over to the infamous Quality Learning Center, which actually

317
00:18:23,080 --> 00:18:26,879
Speaker 3: spells Quality Leering Center on the outside of their sign.

318
00:18:27,280 --> 00:18:30,440
Speaker 3: That's how blatant this fraud is here at this daycare.

319
00:18:30,960 --> 00:18:35,720
Speaker 3: Don't open up. So this is quality leering center? Meant

320
00:18:35,720 --> 00:18:40,200
Speaker 3: to say quality learning center, don't they said they spelled

321
00:18:40,359 --> 00:18:41,080
Speaker 3: learning wrong.

322
00:18:41,280 --> 00:18:42,359
Speaker 4: Don't open up.

323
00:18:42,560 --> 00:18:44,640
Speaker 3: How do you have ice here, ma'am? I'm literally a YouTuber.

324
00:18:44,840 --> 00:18:46,680
Speaker 3: Don't open up, ma'am? What do you think about the

325
00:18:46,720 --> 00:18:48,439
Speaker 3: fraud that's taking place here in Minnesota?

326
00:18:48,480 --> 00:18:52,159
Speaker 4: Don't open up. We have eyes, man. What do you

327
00:18:52,200 --> 00:18:54,879
Speaker 4: think about this place being licensed for ninety nine children?

328
00:18:55,280 --> 00:18:56,560
Speaker 3: Don't open up.

329
00:18:56,600 --> 00:19:00,919
Speaker 4: And getting four million dollars over them, four million dollars

330
00:19:00,920 --> 00:19:03,919
Speaker 4: in the last two years. What do you think about that?

331
00:19:04,600 --> 00:19:06,960
Speaker 4: Are you in favor? Are you in favor of that

332
00:19:07,760 --> 00:19:08,359
Speaker 4: go away?

333
00:19:08,560 --> 00:19:11,560
Speaker 3: You know we're not welcome here, say money? Are you

334
00:19:11,600 --> 00:19:16,080
Speaker 3: in favor of one point nine million dollars going illegally

335
00:19:17,000 --> 00:19:20,119
Speaker 3: fraudulently to this business that has quality learning center? But

336
00:19:20,200 --> 00:19:24,560
Speaker 3: Kenny's still learning right on the door. Don't open up, ma'am.

337
00:19:24,600 --> 00:19:27,120
Speaker 3: We are not ice. I don't care who you are.

338
00:19:27,160 --> 00:19:29,840
Speaker 3: You don't belong here. I belong here just like you

339
00:19:29,880 --> 00:19:31,760
Speaker 3: belong here. Don't open up.

340
00:19:31,840 --> 00:19:32,439
Speaker 4: It's ice.

341
00:19:33,480 --> 00:19:35,719
Speaker 3: You do realize that there's supposed to be ninety nine

342
00:19:35,800 --> 00:19:38,320
Speaker 3: children in here at this building, but there's no one here.

343
00:19:39,560 --> 00:19:40,880
Speaker 3: This is a child daycare center.

344
00:19:40,880 --> 00:19:44,240
Speaker 4: It's ninety nine children paid one point nine million dollars

345
00:19:44,240 --> 00:19:46,800
Speaker 4: this year in seacamp funding. Do you know where the

346
00:19:46,840 --> 00:19:50,000
Speaker 4: children are? Where they kidnapped? They run away? Where are

347
00:19:50,040 --> 00:19:54,040
Speaker 4: the children? This is state of Minnesota. Are here? And

348
00:19:54,160 --> 00:19:54,679
Speaker 4: who are you?

349
00:19:54,880 --> 00:19:57,280
Speaker 3: My name's Nick Shirley, ma'am. And who are you with

350
00:19:57,640 --> 00:19:58,240
Speaker 3: Nick Shirley?

351
00:19:58,760 --> 00:19:58,879
Speaker 2: Nick?

352
00:19:58,960 --> 00:20:01,480
Speaker 3: Surely on YouTube? So who are you with here? Oh,

353
00:20:01,520 --> 00:20:03,720
Speaker 3: he's just been doing some research or investigating the fraud

354
00:20:03,720 --> 00:20:06,960
Speaker 3: that's taking place here in Minnesota. Surely this lady she's

355
00:20:07,119 --> 00:20:09,080
Speaker 3: calling as ice. We're just trying to put law and

356
00:20:09,200 --> 00:20:12,440
Speaker 3: order back in the streets of the United States, get

357
00:20:12,520 --> 00:20:14,480
Speaker 3: rid of all the fraud. Have you ever seen children

358
00:20:14,480 --> 00:20:17,320
Speaker 3: at that daycare center right there? Well, yeah, it's right there.

359
00:20:17,320 --> 00:20:19,040
Speaker 3: It says the child you've never seen dacab.

360
00:20:19,119 --> 00:20:19,879
Speaker 6: I haven't seen anybody.

361
00:20:20,320 --> 00:20:22,119
Speaker 3: We're going to educate you on something. So what do

362
00:20:22,160 --> 00:20:24,760
Speaker 3: you think about this daycare center? They spelt learning wrong.

363
00:20:25,040 --> 00:20:27,919
Speaker 3: They've received over one point nine million dollars this year alone,

364
00:20:28,280 --> 00:20:30,280
Speaker 3: and they're supposed to have ninety nine children here.

365
00:20:30,440 --> 00:20:31,000
Speaker 6: I don't see it.

366
00:20:31,040 --> 00:20:33,080
Speaker 3: My children have you ever seen any children here? None?

367
00:20:33,119 --> 00:20:33,640
Speaker 6: None at all?

368
00:20:34,480 --> 00:20:36,960
Speaker 4: None last year. This year they got one point nine million.

369
00:20:37,000 --> 00:20:38,960
Speaker 4: Last year they got one point five million of your

370
00:20:39,040 --> 00:20:41,720
Speaker 4: tax money for nine and nine children. We just want

371
00:20:41,760 --> 00:20:42,639
Speaker 4: to know where are the kids?

372
00:20:42,880 --> 00:20:43,080
Speaker 2: Right?

373
00:20:43,760 --> 00:20:44,560
Speaker 4: Where are the children?

374
00:20:44,600 --> 00:20:47,680
Speaker 6: I don't see him. I've been here since twenty seventeen.

375
00:20:47,720 --> 00:20:49,440
Speaker 6: I haven't seen anybody like that child.

376
00:20:50,400 --> 00:20:52,320
Speaker 3: And so you've never seen a child here for eight years?

377
00:20:52,440 --> 00:20:53,280
Speaker 6: Nope, not at all.

378
00:20:54,359 --> 00:20:55,879
Speaker 3: And how does that make you feel knowing that this

379
00:20:55,920 --> 00:20:58,040
Speaker 3: place is receiving one point nine million dollars?

380
00:20:58,240 --> 00:20:58,800
Speaker 6: Disgusting?

381
00:21:00,080 --> 00:21:00,479
Speaker 3: We went to hell.

382
00:21:00,560 --> 00:21:02,320
Speaker 6: They stealed in the money. That's a federal grant too.

383
00:21:02,400 --> 00:21:04,639
Speaker 6: Let's see if they get caught for that's the offense.

384
00:21:05,520 --> 00:21:06,520
Speaker 6: I don't know. I studied law.

385
00:21:07,040 --> 00:21:08,920
Speaker 3: And do you think Tim Watts should go to jail

386
00:21:08,920 --> 00:21:11,440
Speaker 3: for all the fraud that's he's enabled here in his state?

387
00:21:11,520 --> 00:21:12,320
Speaker 6: That's him doing this?

388
00:21:12,680 --> 00:21:13,000
Speaker 5: Sure?

389
00:21:13,359 --> 00:21:16,280
Speaker 6: Heck care he's gonna be helocomonal for this. I mean,

390
00:21:16,400 --> 00:21:18,720
Speaker 6: just no, just no rhyme or reason. What's going on here?

391
00:21:18,720 --> 00:21:21,960
Speaker 6: It's simple, it's nothing there sparking lot.

392
00:21:21,880 --> 00:21:24,200
Speaker 3: And look, they even spelt learning wrong on their sign

393
00:21:24,280 --> 00:21:27,280
Speaker 3: for a place that's supposed to be educating children children.

394
00:21:29,400 --> 00:21:30,160
Speaker 6: That's crazy.

395
00:21:30,960 --> 00:21:33,639
Speaker 4: I mean who runs it, who supposedly runs it?

396
00:21:33,760 --> 00:21:39,600
Speaker 3: Som allions? Oh my god, Oh my god. Will Joey

397
00:21:39,600 --> 00:21:43,520
Speaker 3: would not be accepted to that daycare. Joey's still looking

398
00:21:43,560 --> 00:21:46,800
Speaker 3: for daycare. And because little Joey couldn't get into a daycare,

399
00:21:46,880 --> 00:21:49,720
Speaker 3: we went to an autism center, as they have been

400
00:21:49,800 --> 00:21:52,760
Speaker 3: popping up everywhere as a rise of autism has occurred

401
00:21:52,800 --> 00:21:56,560
Speaker 3: here in Minnesota because of the government funds that they're receiving.

402
00:21:56,640 --> 00:21:59,639
Speaker 3: I tried to check my son Joey into an autism center.

403
00:22:00,040 --> 00:22:01,480
Speaker 3: Owed to a lot of these daycare centers, We're trying

404
00:22:01,480 --> 00:22:03,800
Speaker 3: to find a spot for our little boy Joey, but

405
00:22:04,680 --> 00:22:06,199
Speaker 3: we thought maybe we could check them in the autism

406
00:22:06,240 --> 00:22:09,199
Speaker 3: center because now the daycare centers are open. Yeah, and

407
00:22:09,240 --> 00:22:11,119
Speaker 3: how many kids you guys have at this autism center?

408
00:22:14,119 --> 00:22:21,600
Speaker 3: I can't give you a burning, like more than five probably,

409
00:22:21,680 --> 00:22:24,640
Speaker 3: So you don't really know. What do you guys think about,

410
00:22:24,640 --> 00:22:26,760
Speaker 3: like the fraud that's been labeled on the autism centers here?

411
00:22:26,840 --> 00:22:28,679
Speaker 3: What do you guys do think about the fraud? Or

412
00:22:28,680 --> 00:22:32,400
Speaker 3: how come the autism centers are popping up? I can't

413
00:22:34,440 --> 00:22:35,959
Speaker 3: My name is that Nick we're doing a little documentary

414
00:22:36,000 --> 00:22:38,359
Speaker 3: trying to find little Joey a spot to put himself

415
00:22:38,359 --> 00:22:43,440
Speaker 3: in one of these centers here because there's the fraud. Yeah,

416
00:22:43,440 --> 00:22:44,800
Speaker 3: because we want to make sure we're going to legit

417
00:22:44,880 --> 00:22:46,920
Speaker 3: business if we're gonna bring our little boy Joey here.

418
00:22:48,520 --> 00:22:51,280
Speaker 3: This is not a duly spot. M hm. Well that's

419
00:22:51,320 --> 00:22:54,960
Speaker 3: our number on you. This is you can't let you

420
00:22:55,000 --> 00:22:59,840
Speaker 3: got excoose. Okay, thank you. So once again, little Joey

421
00:23:00,080 --> 00:23:01,800
Speaker 3: he can't even go to daycare and now they won't

422
00:23:01,800 --> 00:23:03,399
Speaker 3: even accept him if he has autism.

423
00:23:03,960 --> 00:23:06,240
Speaker 4: And again no kids couldn't tell you how many kids

424
00:23:06,240 --> 00:23:06,680
Speaker 4: they serve.

425
00:23:07,520 --> 00:23:10,320
Speaker 3: After being able to provide no evidence of them actually

426
00:23:10,359 --> 00:23:12,639
Speaker 3: being an autism center in a place where a child

427
00:23:12,680 --> 00:23:14,960
Speaker 3: could go, they shut the door and we headed to

428
00:23:15,000 --> 00:23:19,159
Speaker 3: the next fraudulent daycare center that was just around the corner.

429
00:23:19,400 --> 00:23:21,399
Speaker 3: We're on to the next location. We're still trying to

430
00:23:21,400 --> 00:23:23,040
Speaker 3: find a little Joey a place to go to get

431
00:23:23,080 --> 00:23:23,640
Speaker 3: some daycare.

432
00:23:23,920 --> 00:23:26,800
Speaker 4: So where we're going now is a place called super

433
00:23:26,920 --> 00:23:33,000
Speaker 4: Kids Daycare Center. Interestingly, this daycare center was shut down

434
00:23:33,080 --> 00:23:36,680
Speaker 4: when it was called Creative Mind's Daycare and it had

435
00:23:36,720 --> 00:23:42,120
Speaker 4: received two point four five million dollars. This fiscal year

436
00:23:42,240 --> 00:23:45,200
Speaker 4: twenty twenty five, they had the shutdown because there were

437
00:23:45,240 --> 00:23:48,800
Speaker 4: so many violations, and they went and they just reopened

438
00:23:48,880 --> 00:23:51,760
Speaker 4: under a new license and they renamed the center super

439
00:23:51,840 --> 00:23:53,800
Speaker 4: Kids Daycare Center, LLC.

440
00:23:53,960 --> 00:23:56,960
Speaker 3: So they got shut down then started another one literally

441
00:23:57,000 --> 00:24:00,960
Speaker 3: the next day Creative Mind's Daycare. To point four or

442
00:24:01,000 --> 00:24:03,399
Speaker 3: five million dollars got sent to this daycare center.

443
00:24:04,240 --> 00:24:04,680
Speaker 1: We have.

444
00:24:06,240 --> 00:24:08,359
Speaker 3: Empty parking lot. We do have a bus here. This

445
00:24:08,480 --> 00:24:10,760
Speaker 3: is different. We'll see if we see anybody. I knocked

446
00:24:10,760 --> 00:24:14,080
Speaker 3: on the door. Absolutely nobody was inside, and once again

447
00:24:14,240 --> 00:24:17,600
Speaker 3: no children could be heard anywhere. So David, once again

448
00:24:17,680 --> 00:24:21,520
Speaker 3: another child daycare center. We have a bus out here,

449
00:24:22,280 --> 00:24:27,280
Speaker 3: No one's inside, license for over fifty kids, no children anywhere,

450
00:24:27,600 --> 00:24:32,440
Speaker 3: but yet millions of dollars every single year.

451
00:24:32,720 --> 00:24:36,760
Speaker 4: So the sign says Creative Mind's Daycare. They got in

452
00:24:36,880 --> 00:24:40,160
Speaker 4: so much trouble, they had so many violations that they

453
00:24:40,200 --> 00:24:42,800
Speaker 4: had to shut down and they reopened the next day

454
00:24:43,400 --> 00:24:46,960
Speaker 4: under super Kids Daycare Center. You see thirty eight oh

455
00:24:47,000 --> 00:24:50,480
Speaker 4: one Portland. Thirty eight oh one Portland, which is where

456
00:24:50,480 --> 00:24:50,800
Speaker 4: we are.

457
00:24:51,720 --> 00:24:53,199
Speaker 3: So that's fraud right there alone.

458
00:24:54,600 --> 00:24:57,480
Speaker 4: Millions and millions of dollars. And again the kids are missing.

459
00:24:57,520 --> 00:24:58,160
Speaker 4: Where the kids?

460
00:24:58,240 --> 00:25:00,720
Speaker 3: You'd think if they had the same address that whoever's

461
00:25:00,720 --> 00:25:04,119
Speaker 3: inside we're working at the capitol here inside of Minnesota,

462
00:25:04,160 --> 00:25:06,439
Speaker 3: would to say, oh, maybe that's a red flag.

463
00:25:07,560 --> 00:25:10,800
Speaker 4: They they just write the check. Human Services. They got

464
00:25:10,800 --> 00:25:13,200
Speaker 4: to clean out the whole bunch. They're the ones who

465
00:25:13,280 --> 00:25:15,879
Speaker 4: enabled this fraud. How can you not look and say,

466
00:25:16,320 --> 00:25:18,399
Speaker 4: wait a minute, this these two are registered at the

467
00:25:18,440 --> 00:25:19,640
Speaker 4: same address.

468
00:25:19,359 --> 00:25:22,440
Speaker 3: On top of all the childcare centers. That's just only

469
00:25:22,480 --> 00:25:24,600
Speaker 3: a small piece of the fraud. What other fraud of

470
00:25:24,600 --> 00:25:26,000
Speaker 3: the committee here in Minnesota?

471
00:25:26,080 --> 00:25:29,440
Speaker 4: So another major piece of the fraud is the home

472
00:25:29,640 --> 00:25:35,560
Speaker 4: healthcare industry. Where we're going now is a building that

473
00:25:35,760 --> 00:25:41,720
Speaker 4: has fourteen Smaly owned home healthcare companies in the same building.

474
00:25:42,280 --> 00:25:44,919
Speaker 3: Fourteen of the same healthcare companies in the one building.

475
00:25:45,480 --> 00:25:48,680
Speaker 4: Fourteen home healthcare companies with different names in the same building.

476
00:25:48,920 --> 00:25:51,840
Speaker 3: How bad has Tim Watz managed the budget here inside

477
00:25:51,880 --> 00:25:52,560
Speaker 3: of Minnesota.

478
00:25:52,640 --> 00:25:58,040
Speaker 4: So the last biennium we had an eighteen billion dollars surplus.

479
00:25:58,960 --> 00:26:04,200
Speaker 4: This biennium we have a six billion dollar deficit. That's

480
00:26:04,200 --> 00:26:09,520
Speaker 4: a twenty four billion dollars swing in one biennium. How

481
00:26:09,600 --> 00:26:12,119
Speaker 4: in the world can you burn through twenty four billion

482
00:26:12,200 --> 00:26:15,680
Speaker 4: dollars in two years. This is how right here. This

483
00:26:15,760 --> 00:26:16,800
Speaker 4: is a huge part of it.

484
00:26:16,920 --> 00:26:18,280
Speaker 3: And so would you say a lot of that is

485
00:26:18,320 --> 00:26:20,040
Speaker 3: fraud that's taking place here in Minnesota.

486
00:26:20,080 --> 00:26:24,399
Speaker 4: Absolutely, I would say better than ninety percent of it

487
00:26:24,440 --> 00:26:26,280
Speaker 4: is absolute, outright fraud.

488
00:26:26,400 --> 00:26:29,240
Speaker 3: And a large percentage of this fraud is from these

489
00:26:29,280 --> 00:26:33,280
Speaker 3: healthcare companies that are charging the state millions of dollars

490
00:26:33,320 --> 00:26:37,159
Speaker 3: while they actually aren't providing anything. In fact, the FBI

491
00:26:37,400 --> 00:26:39,280
Speaker 3: just did a arrade a few days ago on a

492
00:26:39,280 --> 00:26:41,360
Speaker 3: building similar to the one we were about to enter.

493
00:26:41,680 --> 00:26:44,439
Speaker 3: Inside of this building, there were fourteen of nearly the

494
00:26:44,520 --> 00:26:48,480
Speaker 3: exact same businesses offering the exact same services. Right here.

495
00:26:48,520 --> 00:26:52,160
Speaker 3: You have a list of all of the healthcare companies,

496
00:26:52,960 --> 00:26:57,000
Speaker 3: loads of them right here. We want healthcare, Yes, we'd

497
00:26:57,040 --> 00:26:59,720
Speaker 3: like to speak about getting healthcare here? Why can I

498
00:26:59,720 --> 00:27:05,520
Speaker 3: get here? Here? Warning? You are under video surveillance, no trespassing,

499
00:27:05,520 --> 00:27:13,479
Speaker 3: security armed. This is the strangest place I've ever been

500
00:27:13,560 --> 00:27:20,080
Speaker 3: to get healthcare. Just a bunch of different places. Healthcare here,

501
00:27:20,440 --> 00:27:26,520
Speaker 3: healthcare here, another healthcare company right here. There are three

502
00:27:26,640 --> 00:27:29,760
Speaker 3: healthcare companies inside of this building, right here, in this

503
00:27:29,840 --> 00:27:33,880
Speaker 3: room of seven c Now we have another Helping Hands

504
00:27:34,560 --> 00:27:39,160
Speaker 3: Homecare LLC, another healthcare company present help right here. We're

505
00:27:39,160 --> 00:27:41,320
Speaker 3: looking for the best rates of healthcare here inside this

506
00:27:41,359 --> 00:27:43,280
Speaker 3: building because we have so many options. Who can we

507
00:27:43,320 --> 00:27:44,720
Speaker 3: talk about getting the best healthcare?

508
00:27:44,840 --> 00:27:45,280
Speaker 5: I don't know.

509
00:27:46,480 --> 00:27:51,439
Speaker 3: No, all right, we will not get any healthcare here, David.

510
00:27:51,440 --> 00:27:55,440
Speaker 3: This is one of the stranger places I've ever been. Literally,

511
00:27:55,720 --> 00:27:58,359
Speaker 3: healthcare every door you go to, yet nobody will give

512
00:27:58,359 --> 00:28:00,720
Speaker 3: you a rate. How much money thinks funnel through this

513
00:28:00,800 --> 00:28:02,720
Speaker 3: building every year?

514
00:28:03,240 --> 00:28:06,280
Speaker 4: I would say fifty to sixty millions at least.

515
00:28:06,440 --> 00:28:08,919
Speaker 3: And finally we were accepted into one of the daycare

516
00:28:08,960 --> 00:28:11,640
Speaker 3: centers and they actually took down information to give us

517
00:28:11,640 --> 00:28:14,360
Speaker 3: a rate. However, when we left, we were then met

518
00:28:14,400 --> 00:28:18,760
Speaker 3: with the police. We received a complaint that tellen mentioning

519
00:28:18,760 --> 00:28:21,600
Speaker 3: your description, we're in this building harassing the individuals who

520
00:28:22,560 --> 00:28:24,440
Speaker 3: stay here. Oh, we're just seeing we're checking out the

521
00:28:24,520 --> 00:28:28,040
Speaker 3: rates for healthcare because there's fourteen healthcare companies inside this building.

522
00:28:28,160 --> 00:28:31,760
Speaker 4: So okay, he said, He said, there's fourteen companies here,

523
00:28:32,080 --> 00:28:34,440
Speaker 4: and he's trying to assume because there's Somali providers that

524
00:28:34,480 --> 00:28:35,520
Speaker 4: everyone to your stradulent.

525
00:28:35,920 --> 00:28:38,480
Speaker 3: So we're gets here with some kind of like propaganda. No,

526
00:28:38,560 --> 00:28:43,120
Speaker 3: we're just checking this is this is a area that

527
00:28:43,160 --> 00:28:45,800
Speaker 3: we're allowed to enforce prespassing ordinance. Is there any other

528
00:28:45,840 --> 00:28:49,040
Speaker 3: reason that you guys are here, Well, we are checking rates. No,

529
00:28:49,800 --> 00:28:53,200
Speaker 3: we are checking rates. We asked for rates. Okay, I'm

530
00:28:53,200 --> 00:28:54,920
Speaker 3: gonna have if you guys are good, we're gonna set

531
00:28:54,920 --> 00:28:57,840
Speaker 3: out that and we all right, let's see. So all right,

532
00:28:57,880 --> 00:29:01,520
Speaker 3: we're getting escorted out right now. The police arrived when

533
00:29:01,560 --> 00:29:03,320
Speaker 3: we were checking out the rates, seeing what was happening

534
00:29:03,320 --> 00:29:05,320
Speaker 3: inside this building. No one would really speak with us.

535
00:29:05,320 --> 00:29:07,360
Speaker 3: We did go inside the one daycare center and she

536
00:29:07,440 --> 00:29:10,240
Speaker 3: actually did give his rates for childcare. Much respect to

537
00:29:10,240 --> 00:29:13,280
Speaker 3: that lady. What's the problem offs here? Well, so again

538
00:29:13,280 --> 00:29:16,560
Speaker 3: we've been getting reports from there now multiple individuals that

539
00:29:16,600 --> 00:29:19,480
Speaker 3: you guys were harassing individuals who are work here.

540
00:29:20,440 --> 00:29:21,160
Speaker 4: At the end of the day.

541
00:29:21,240 --> 00:29:24,440
Speaker 3: This is private property and it's one that people are

542
00:29:24,480 --> 00:29:25,160
Speaker 3: allowed to ask.

543
00:29:24,960 --> 00:29:25,320
Speaker 5: You to leave.

544
00:29:25,320 --> 00:29:27,360
Speaker 2: And it's also in the Minneapolis Police Department is allowed

545
00:29:27,360 --> 00:29:30,000
Speaker 2: to enforce trespassing ordinance at this address.

546
00:29:30,160 --> 00:29:33,000
Speaker 3: Yeah, so as we got escorted out of this building,

547
00:29:33,040 --> 00:29:34,960
Speaker 3: the Somali's filmed us as we left.

548
00:29:35,000 --> 00:29:38,960
Speaker 1: And now the FBI director Cash Patel has come out

549
00:29:39,000 --> 00:29:41,160
Speaker 1: and said, not only is the FBI aware of the

550
00:29:41,200 --> 00:29:44,720
Speaker 1: recent social media reports in Minnesota, but he said even

551
00:29:44,760 --> 00:29:50,200
Speaker 1: before the public conversation escalated online, the FBI had surged

552
00:29:50,240 --> 00:29:56,480
Speaker 1: personnel and investigative resources to Minnesota to dismantle large scale

553
00:29:56,720 --> 00:30:00,560
Speaker 1: fraud schemes. Is the way that he described it, fraud

554
00:30:00,680 --> 00:30:05,000
Speaker 1: that steals from taxpayers and rob's vulnerable children. He then said,

555
00:30:05,040 --> 00:30:10,080
Speaker 1: we'll remain a top FBI priority in Minnesota and nationwide.

556
00:30:10,480 --> 00:30:12,920
Speaker 1: To date, he said the FBI dismantled a two hundred

557
00:30:12,920 --> 00:30:16,160
Speaker 1: and fifty million dollar frauds game that stole federal food

558
00:30:16,160 --> 00:30:20,720
Speaker 1: aid meant for vulnerable children during COVID. The investigation exposed

559
00:30:20,720 --> 00:30:24,320
Speaker 1: sham vendors, shell companies, large scale money laundering tied to

560
00:30:24,360 --> 00:30:28,120
Speaker 1: defeeding our future network. The case has not only led

561
00:30:28,160 --> 00:30:31,680
Speaker 1: to seventy eight indictments in fifty seven convictions, but it

562
00:30:31,760 --> 00:30:36,800
Speaker 1: had high profile defendants that were busted for fraud, money laundering,

563
00:30:36,960 --> 00:30:40,720
Speaker 1: and conspiracy. He said these colonels didn't just engage in

564
00:30:40,880 --> 00:30:44,840
Speaker 1: historic fraud, but try to subvert justice as well. He

565
00:30:44,880 --> 00:30:48,960
Speaker 1: gave an example of Mohammed Nor and others that were

566
00:30:49,040 --> 00:30:51,560
Speaker 1: charged for attending to bribe a juror with one hundred

567
00:30:51,560 --> 00:30:56,480
Speaker 1: and twenty thousand dollars in cash. Those responsible pleaded guilty

568
00:30:56,600 --> 00:30:59,400
Speaker 1: and were sentenced, including a ten year prison term in

569
00:30:59,480 --> 00:31:02,840
Speaker 1: nearly four twenty eight million in restitution and related cases.

570
00:31:03,360 --> 00:31:05,680
Speaker 1: He said, the FBI believes this is just the tip

571
00:31:05,760 --> 00:31:09,480
Speaker 1: of a very large iceberg. We will continue to follow

572
00:31:09,520 --> 00:31:13,280
Speaker 1: the money and protect children, and this investigation very much

573
00:31:13,320 --> 00:31:19,160
Speaker 1: remains ongoing. Furthermore, many are also being referred to immigration

574
00:31:19,520 --> 00:31:27,160
Speaker 1: officials for possible further denationalization and deportation proceedings where eligible.

575
00:31:27,720 --> 00:31:30,320
Speaker 1: So it's clear not only is the President of United

576
00:31:30,360 --> 00:31:33,120
Speaker 1: States of America ware of what's happening, but he has

577
00:31:33,400 --> 00:31:37,200
Speaker 1: made sure that those are in charge of justice are

578
00:31:37,360 --> 00:31:42,280
Speaker 1: fully involved in seeking it for every taxpayer that's been defrauded.

579
00:31:42,760 --> 00:31:45,640
Speaker 1: Don't forget share this podcast please with your family and
