1 00:00:00,240 --> 00:00:00,720 Speaker 1: Welcome back. 2 00:00:00,760 --> 00:00:04,440 Speaker 2: In our number two Clay Travis buck Sexton Show, we 3 00:00:04,519 --> 00:00:09,959 Speaker 2: are tracking a ton of big stories in New York City. 4 00:00:10,680 --> 00:00:15,560 Speaker 2: Maduro and his wife both fled not guilty to all 5 00:00:15,680 --> 00:00:20,040 Speaker 2: of the charges that have been levied against them. Just 6 00:00:20,200 --> 00:00:24,320 Speaker 2: updating you on the latest there, Tim Walls, we haven't 7 00:00:24,400 --> 00:00:27,400 Speaker 2: barely even talked about this. We'll get into it as well. 8 00:00:27,800 --> 00:00:31,000 Speaker 2: Pretty big news. Ordinarily that would be the biggest story 9 00:00:31,000 --> 00:00:34,640 Speaker 2: of the day, Tim Walls. After a twenty three year 10 00:00:34,680 --> 00:00:39,920 Speaker 2: old YouTuber exposed in earnest the extent of Somali fraud 11 00:00:40,000 --> 00:00:43,400 Speaker 2: taking place in the state of Minnesota, has announced that 12 00:00:43,479 --> 00:00:48,360 Speaker 2: he is no longer running for reelection as governor. We 13 00:00:48,440 --> 00:00:51,120 Speaker 2: got mom Donnie sworn in as New York City's mayor 14 00:00:51,120 --> 00:00:55,440 Speaker 2: and already doing and saying crazy things. But as we 15 00:00:55,520 --> 00:00:58,320 Speaker 2: went to break Buck, we were talking about the so called 16 00:00:59,160 --> 00:01:00,720 Speaker 2: Donroe doctrine. 17 00:01:01,080 --> 00:01:02,280 Speaker 1: For those of you out. 18 00:01:02,120 --> 00:01:06,760 Speaker 2: There that are maybe American history nerds or at least 19 00:01:06,840 --> 00:01:12,839 Speaker 2: remember the study of the era of the Monroe doctrine, 20 00:01:13,440 --> 00:01:18,600 Speaker 2: this is a modern evolution of that era and this 21 00:01:18,880 --> 00:01:21,640 Speaker 2: is why to me, Buck, there are a lot of 22 00:01:21,640 --> 00:01:24,440 Speaker 2: people out there that are saying okay, and we discussed 23 00:01:24,440 --> 00:01:26,880 Speaker 2: it a little bit in the first hour. How is 24 00:01:26,920 --> 00:01:32,479 Speaker 2: this Venezuela situation different than Iraq. You talked about quite 25 00:01:32,520 --> 00:01:37,720 Speaker 2: clearly the religious component related to Sunni Shia, all of 26 00:01:37,760 --> 00:01:41,640 Speaker 2: those complexities in Iraq, not to mention the Kurds, there 27 00:01:41,720 --> 00:01:44,040 Speaker 2: was the suggestion that maybe Iraq should be broken up 28 00:01:44,040 --> 00:01:47,920 Speaker 2: into three different countries for those people who remember, Venezuela 29 00:01:48,040 --> 00:01:54,560 Speaker 2: doesn't have those same complexities. And it's also unlike Iraq 30 00:01:54,840 --> 00:01:56,880 Speaker 2: actually in the Western Hemisphere. 31 00:01:57,280 --> 00:01:59,760 Speaker 1: And what seems quite clear here. 32 00:01:59,680 --> 00:02:01,920 Speaker 2: Is Trump has sent a message and this is why 33 00:02:01,960 --> 00:02:05,640 Speaker 2: I think Cuba is implicated too, that if you are 34 00:02:05,720 --> 00:02:09,040 Speaker 2: a neighbor of the United States, we are going to 35 00:02:09,240 --> 00:02:12,480 Speaker 2: dominate the Western hemisphere. We're not going to allow China 36 00:02:12,800 --> 00:02:16,720 Speaker 2: and Russia to elbow in and try to have a 37 00:02:16,919 --> 00:02:23,320 Speaker 2: foot in our arena. And actually this is just a 38 00:02:23,320 --> 00:02:28,800 Speaker 2: actual statement that is reinforcing the Monroe Doctrine, which was 39 00:02:28,919 --> 00:02:33,680 Speaker 2: a staple of nineteenth century American policy as it pertained 40 00:02:33,720 --> 00:02:38,240 Speaker 2: to America having control of not only America, but all 41 00:02:38,280 --> 00:02:42,120 Speaker 2: of the areas and neighbors surrounding America. 42 00:02:42,240 --> 00:02:46,960 Speaker 3: It turns out that US law is something that is 43 00:02:47,000 --> 00:02:51,440 Speaker 3: real because it can be enforced, whereas the international law 44 00:02:51,480 --> 00:02:55,240 Speaker 3: that so many people who are opposing this are citing 45 00:02:55,639 --> 00:02:57,720 Speaker 3: as some catch all. I think a lot of people 46 00:02:57,720 --> 00:03:00,799 Speaker 3: Clay who don't like Trump just the go to when 47 00:03:00,800 --> 00:03:02,359 Speaker 3: they don't know what else to say when he does 48 00:03:02,400 --> 00:03:04,200 Speaker 3: anything related to foreign policy. 49 00:03:03,919 --> 00:03:06,280 Speaker 1: Is it's a violation of international law. 50 00:03:07,320 --> 00:03:10,160 Speaker 3: They don't even know what international law is supposed to be, 51 00:03:10,320 --> 00:03:14,320 Speaker 3: never mind what the reality of it is. Because Maduro 52 00:03:15,600 --> 00:03:18,720 Speaker 3: under I mean, what think about what the alternative is. 53 00:03:19,160 --> 00:03:21,080 Speaker 3: First of all, we have a twenty five million dollar 54 00:03:21,120 --> 00:03:24,600 Speaker 3: bounty on his head. If Maduro is a legitimate, legitimate 55 00:03:24,639 --> 00:03:30,040 Speaker 3: guy who has the international law defense to raise, why 56 00:03:30,040 --> 00:03:32,880 Speaker 3: did the Biden administration had a twenty five million dollar 57 00:03:32,960 --> 00:03:38,640 Speaker 3: bounty on him? Someone explain? Someone explain that one to me. 58 00:03:39,160 --> 00:03:41,960 Speaker 3: If we put a twenty five million dollar bounty on, 59 00:03:42,880 --> 00:03:45,920 Speaker 3: you know, the chancellor of Germany, people would ask a 60 00:03:45,960 --> 00:03:47,280 Speaker 3: lot of well, they'd be like whoa WHOA Hold on 61 00:03:47,320 --> 00:03:48,840 Speaker 3: a second, like, what are you guys doing here? 62 00:03:48,960 --> 00:03:49,120 Speaker 1: Right? 63 00:03:49,560 --> 00:03:52,560 Speaker 3: But we did it a Maduro under the Biden administration, 64 00:03:52,760 --> 00:03:54,960 Speaker 3: and everyone said, yeah, that sounds about right. The guy's 65 00:03:54,960 --> 00:03:58,560 Speaker 3: a scumbag narco terrorist who doesn't even have a legitimate 66 00:03:58,560 --> 00:04:02,560 Speaker 3: election to rest on, and he's violating US law on 67 00:04:02,640 --> 00:04:07,960 Speaker 3: a regular basis. If Maduro were sending in people to 68 00:04:08,480 --> 00:04:12,040 Speaker 3: commit sabotage on a regular basis, like the sabotage are 69 00:04:12,120 --> 00:04:15,600 Speaker 3: electrical grid, everybody would say, well, we got to stop that. 70 00:04:15,880 --> 00:04:18,000 Speaker 3: And if he's the guy giving those orders, of course, 71 00:04:18,040 --> 00:04:20,240 Speaker 3: whatever we got to do. We have to defend America. 72 00:04:20,360 --> 00:04:24,679 Speaker 3: America first means American security first, Clay, he was sending 73 00:04:24,760 --> 00:04:29,279 Speaker 3: people into our area of operations and in some cases 74 00:04:29,279 --> 00:04:32,760 Speaker 3: even to US shores, who were selling drugs on our streets, 75 00:04:32,880 --> 00:04:36,679 Speaker 3: enriching the regime. Why would he be able, Why should 76 00:04:36,720 --> 00:04:40,479 Speaker 3: he be able to continue that behavior? Of course he shouldn't, 77 00:04:40,520 --> 00:04:43,919 Speaker 3: the same way that Pablo Escobar wasn't allowed to continue 78 00:04:43,920 --> 00:04:46,520 Speaker 3: that behavior. Just because he claims to be an elected 79 00:04:47,520 --> 00:04:51,880 Speaker 3: an elected leader doesn't give him any immunity from that. 80 00:04:52,000 --> 00:04:54,240 Speaker 3: So this is where I think the whole international law 81 00:04:54,320 --> 00:04:57,120 Speaker 3: thing is just it's farcical that people are raising this 82 00:04:57,320 --> 00:05:00,000 Speaker 3: as a as an objection to what's gone on here. 83 00:05:00,640 --> 00:05:04,280 Speaker 2: Well, first of all, even for the international law people 84 00:05:04,480 --> 00:05:08,000 Speaker 2: out there, this is where labeling him as a global 85 00:05:08,200 --> 00:05:11,599 Speaker 2: terrorist actually allows us to do this. This is why 86 00:05:11,640 --> 00:05:14,640 Speaker 2: there was an indictment that was brought to bear by 87 00:05:14,680 --> 00:05:19,320 Speaker 2: the way during the Biden regime. And to me again, 88 00:05:20,360 --> 00:05:22,520 Speaker 2: I look at this and say, and this is why, 89 00:05:22,760 --> 00:05:25,800 Speaker 2: because some people say, well, whatever Trump does, you know, 90 00:05:25,800 --> 00:05:28,839 Speaker 2: because there are the Trump derangement people, there's also a 91 00:05:28,880 --> 00:05:31,839 Speaker 2: segment of the population that anything Trump does people immediately 92 00:05:31,839 --> 00:05:35,599 Speaker 2: get in line and defend it. That's not you or me. 93 00:05:36,279 --> 00:05:39,960 Speaker 2: We were saying, hey, this is a strategic comparative on Venezuela. 94 00:05:40,080 --> 00:05:42,360 Speaker 2: I know on the show because people were blowing back 95 00:05:42,400 --> 00:05:44,440 Speaker 2: on me. Before we did it, I said, I think 96 00:05:44,440 --> 00:05:46,560 Speaker 2: we should take Maduro out, and I'll be honest with you, 97 00:05:46,920 --> 00:05:50,719 Speaker 2: I think we should take out Cuba's communist leadership too. 98 00:05:51,160 --> 00:05:53,000 Speaker 2: I'm just I'm being honest, and I've thought this for 99 00:05:53,040 --> 00:05:58,400 Speaker 2: a very very long time. If we are concerned about 100 00:05:58,520 --> 00:06:01,920 Speaker 2: what Iran or what Russia or what China are going 101 00:06:01,960 --> 00:06:05,320 Speaker 2: to try to do in our hemisphere, then we should 102 00:06:05,400 --> 00:06:09,760 Speaker 2: take away the fertile regions that they potentially could occupy 103 00:06:10,279 --> 00:06:13,040 Speaker 2: and not allow them to do so. And I look 104 00:06:13,080 --> 00:06:19,919 Speaker 2: at Venezuela as the American basically taking a protectorate stance 105 00:06:20,000 --> 00:06:23,679 Speaker 2: with Venezuela and trying to allow that country to return 106 00:06:23,760 --> 00:06:27,280 Speaker 2: to as you pointed out, Buck the third wealthiest country 107 00:06:27,320 --> 00:06:31,440 Speaker 2: in the Western hemisphere. Let's not allow Cuba, Let's not 108 00:06:31,520 --> 00:06:36,040 Speaker 2: allow Venezuela. Let's not allow these countries to be overtaken 109 00:06:36,160 --> 00:06:38,680 Speaker 2: by people who would do harm to the United States. 110 00:06:39,000 --> 00:06:40,960 Speaker 2: And so I look at this and say, it's just 111 00:06:40,960 --> 00:06:44,480 Speaker 2: a no brainer. And then the other thing is there 112 00:06:44,520 --> 00:06:49,520 Speaker 2: are Venezuelans alive. Really, all Venezuelans who have been alive 113 00:06:49,600 --> 00:06:52,200 Speaker 2: long enough saw the destruction of their country at the 114 00:06:52,200 --> 00:06:55,720 Speaker 2: hands of these idiots. Yes, so this notion, like when 115 00:06:55,720 --> 00:06:59,719 Speaker 2: people are comparing this to Iraq, it's just a dumb comparison. Honestly, 116 00:07:00,080 --> 00:07:04,480 Speaker 2: these these are such wildly different scenarios in. 117 00:07:04,360 --> 00:07:05,080 Speaker 1: So many ways. 118 00:07:05,120 --> 00:07:07,400 Speaker 3: You're also not going to have anyone calling for an 119 00:07:07,440 --> 00:07:10,800 Speaker 3: anti American jihad. I mean, these things all matter. There's 120 00:07:10,840 --> 00:07:14,440 Speaker 3: a difference here. There's not some sense of this as 121 00:07:14,480 --> 00:07:18,080 Speaker 3: a perpetuation of America in Israel's imperialist wars in the 122 00:07:18,080 --> 00:07:21,400 Speaker 3: Middle East. I know, people say, what about Western imperialism 123 00:07:21,400 --> 00:07:25,520 Speaker 3: in the Latin American hemisphere as pretty different than fifteen 124 00:07:25,560 --> 00:07:28,640 Speaker 3: hundred years of jihad. Ok, there's a lot here that's 125 00:07:28,720 --> 00:07:30,120 Speaker 3: very different. So I don't think we have to spend 126 00:07:30,120 --> 00:07:32,880 Speaker 3: a lot of time in the why this isn't the 127 00:07:32,920 --> 00:07:36,240 Speaker 3: same thing. We're also not planning to do any reconstruction 128 00:07:36,320 --> 00:07:39,160 Speaker 3: of Venezuela. All we're going to do is say, hey, 129 00:07:39,680 --> 00:07:42,160 Speaker 3: we are going to buy oil. We're going to help 130 00:07:42,480 --> 00:07:47,000 Speaker 3: the just by having the end of the sanctions regime. 131 00:07:47,480 --> 00:07:48,040 Speaker 1: Think about this. 132 00:07:48,440 --> 00:07:50,800 Speaker 3: You know who's going to emerge here for the Venezuelan 133 00:07:50,840 --> 00:07:52,960 Speaker 3: people as the leadership. Well, if you want to play 134 00:07:52,960 --> 00:07:57,000 Speaker 3: ball with America, you can put literally bread on the shelves. Okay, 135 00:07:57,080 --> 00:08:00,000 Speaker 3: you can actually put the power back on, you can 136 00:08:00,080 --> 00:08:02,760 Speaker 3: start to have a functional country again, or you can 137 00:08:02,800 --> 00:08:05,960 Speaker 3: continue to have people who are talking about Bolivarian revolution 138 00:08:06,520 --> 00:08:09,880 Speaker 3: and how there's going to be a socialist paradise for everybody. 139 00:08:09,960 --> 00:08:11,480 Speaker 3: They saw the socialist paradise and. 140 00:08:11,440 --> 00:08:12,120 Speaker 1: It was a nightmare. 141 00:08:12,520 --> 00:08:15,720 Speaker 2: I also think many people out there should start to 142 00:08:15,920 --> 00:08:19,920 Speaker 2: look at some of the people who are constantly catastrophizing 143 00:08:20,360 --> 00:08:24,160 Speaker 2: when it comes to decisions that Trump is making, and say, 144 00:08:24,760 --> 00:08:29,440 Speaker 2: has a catastrophe ever actually occurred when he killed Solamani? 145 00:08:29,800 --> 00:08:32,000 Speaker 2: Remember when everybody said, oh, world War three is going 146 00:08:32,080 --> 00:08:35,120 Speaker 2: to happen, didn't happen? Actually sending a message to Iran 147 00:08:35,440 --> 00:08:39,760 Speaker 2: when we struck Iran's nuclear capabilities, there was no sudden 148 00:08:40,520 --> 00:08:44,600 Speaker 2: upsurge of danger. In fact, that actually set the table 149 00:08:44,720 --> 00:08:48,240 Speaker 2: for the Middle Eastern piece that we got in Gaza, 150 00:08:48,679 --> 00:08:53,760 Speaker 2: and hopefully a growing piece process that's going to spread 151 00:08:53,800 --> 00:08:58,000 Speaker 2: across more of the Middle East. With this Venezuela raid, 152 00:08:58,520 --> 00:09:00,720 Speaker 2: all of the people would have told you, the same 153 00:09:00,720 --> 00:09:02,679 Speaker 2: people who said World War three is gonna happen if 154 00:09:02,679 --> 00:09:05,760 Speaker 2: we bomb ran all of these people would have told 155 00:09:05,800 --> 00:09:08,280 Speaker 2: you it's impossible to do what we just did. Oh, 156 00:09:08,280 --> 00:09:11,360 Speaker 2: we're gonna lose so many American lives, We're gonna have 157 00:09:11,400 --> 00:09:14,000 Speaker 2: to put so many boots on the ground. Guess what 158 00:09:14,600 --> 00:09:17,160 Speaker 2: they're wrong about almost everything. And I think you've got 159 00:09:17,200 --> 00:09:20,439 Speaker 2: to give a lot of credit to Pete Hegseth, Marco Rubio, 160 00:09:20,640 --> 00:09:25,680 Speaker 2: jd Vance and Donald Trump their decision making and Steven Miller, 161 00:09:25,679 --> 00:09:28,800 Speaker 2: and we can run through a huge number of guys Cain, 162 00:09:29,160 --> 00:09:33,439 Speaker 2: General Kin who were all involved in this process. They're 163 00:09:33,480 --> 00:09:39,200 Speaker 2: actually running an incredibly lethal, but very disciplined and very 164 00:09:39,400 --> 00:09:45,280 Speaker 2: organized overall military on a level, frankly that we haven't 165 00:09:45,280 --> 00:09:47,839 Speaker 2: ever seen before. Buck, I think this is the best 166 00:09:48,000 --> 00:09:52,480 Speaker 2: leadership team that we may have ever had in modern 167 00:09:52,520 --> 00:09:53,360 Speaker 2: American life. 168 00:09:53,400 --> 00:09:53,960 Speaker 1: Right now. 169 00:09:54,120 --> 00:09:58,320 Speaker 2: When you look at their execution and their ability not 170 00:09:58,400 --> 00:10:01,520 Speaker 2: a lot to talk about this, No leaks, nobody getting fired. 171 00:10:01,840 --> 00:10:04,680 Speaker 2: I mean the whole Trump two point zero first year. 172 00:10:05,160 --> 00:10:07,679 Speaker 2: It's very very different than one point Oh. I think 173 00:10:07,720 --> 00:10:10,679 Speaker 2: Trump learned a lot. Now, if you want to hear 174 00:10:10,720 --> 00:10:13,600 Speaker 2: what the opposition to this looks like. I mean, there 175 00:10:13,600 --> 00:10:16,280 Speaker 2: are some foreign policy blowhards out there who are just 176 00:10:16,320 --> 00:10:19,800 Speaker 2: you know, well, we haven't learned the lessons of Well, 177 00:10:19,840 --> 00:10:21,439 Speaker 2: those are the same people that said World War three 178 00:10:21,600 --> 00:10:23,880 Speaker 2: is gonna happen when we bombed Iran. I would just add, 179 00:10:24,640 --> 00:10:27,599 Speaker 2: these are the same people who actually have nothing of 180 00:10:28,040 --> 00:10:30,840 Speaker 2: any consequence or a utility to say about Ukraine. I 181 00:10:30,920 --> 00:10:33,079 Speaker 2: might add, now the Trump's in charge, how do we 182 00:10:33,160 --> 00:10:35,880 Speaker 2: end this thing? Oh they don't know? Okay, well, then 183 00:10:36,040 --> 00:10:40,040 Speaker 2: what are you saying exactly? There's a lot of that 184 00:10:40,160 --> 00:10:40,480 Speaker 2: going on. 185 00:10:40,520 --> 00:10:42,760 Speaker 3: There's a lot of people who are flapping their gums 186 00:10:42,840 --> 00:10:46,400 Speaker 3: on these issues who have a history of being very wrong. 187 00:10:47,640 --> 00:10:50,679 Speaker 3: And then there are the people that just know instinctually 188 00:10:50,760 --> 00:10:53,720 Speaker 3: their job. This is true of Democrats and elected office. 189 00:10:53,840 --> 00:10:57,439 Speaker 3: It is true of the Democrat media. They know, Clay 190 00:10:57,440 --> 00:10:59,480 Speaker 3: that their job is just to oppose whatever Trump does 191 00:10:59,520 --> 00:11:03,080 Speaker 3: is bad Trump. Trump has helped establish a cure for cancer. 192 00:11:03,640 --> 00:11:06,320 Speaker 3: Cancer was really important for a limiting population growth. Don't 193 00:11:06,360 --> 00:11:08,680 Speaker 3: you know The climate change is, you know, gonna make 194 00:11:08,720 --> 00:11:11,000 Speaker 3: the future so bleak. For whatever right, they'll they'll come 195 00:11:11,080 --> 00:11:13,400 Speaker 3: up with some way Trump cures cancer. Cancer all of 196 00:11:13,400 --> 00:11:16,880 Speaker 3: a sudden has some upside. Here is a version of 197 00:11:16,880 --> 00:11:21,560 Speaker 3: that with Margaret Brennan, who, honestly, I think is just 198 00:11:21,600 --> 00:11:24,960 Speaker 3: pretty dumb. And there's no I really I mean that, 199 00:11:25,040 --> 00:11:27,720 Speaker 3: I don't. I just don't think she's very smart. You know, 200 00:11:27,800 --> 00:11:30,120 Speaker 3: she gets very emotional on the air, so I thought 201 00:11:30,200 --> 00:11:31,839 Speaker 3: maybe it was that, but now I actually just think 202 00:11:31,840 --> 00:11:34,520 Speaker 3: she's pretty much an imbecile. Doesn't understand how the world works, 203 00:11:34,880 --> 00:11:38,000 Speaker 3: and her job is to be like a presenter. You know, 204 00:11:38,040 --> 00:11:40,640 Speaker 3: she could she could be doing Wheel of Fortune. Instead 205 00:11:40,679 --> 00:11:43,600 Speaker 3: she's doing this political show. Here she is with Marco 206 00:11:43,679 --> 00:11:46,840 Speaker 3: Rubio Clay. Her big criticism is why didn't you do 207 00:11:46,960 --> 00:11:50,079 Speaker 3: this raid and get all of the Maduro regime people 208 00:11:50,200 --> 00:11:51,319 Speaker 3: out play six. 209 00:11:51,600 --> 00:11:54,960 Speaker 2: I'm confused. Are they still wanted by the United States? 210 00:11:55,160 --> 00:11:56,640 Speaker 1: Why didn't you arrest them? 211 00:11:56,840 --> 00:12:00,200 Speaker 2: If you are taking out the narco terrorist regime. 212 00:12:00,320 --> 00:12:03,640 Speaker 4: You're confused. I don't know why that's confusing to you. 213 00:12:03,640 --> 00:12:05,920 Speaker 4: You're still in the of course we got the top priority. 214 00:12:06,559 --> 00:12:09,120 Speaker 4: The number one person on the list was the guy 215 00:12:09,120 --> 00:12:11,040 Speaker 4: who claimed to be the president of the country that 216 00:12:11,080 --> 00:12:13,520 Speaker 4: he was not, and he was arrested along with his wife, 217 00:12:13,520 --> 00:12:16,240 Speaker 4: who was also indicted. And that was a pretty sophisticated 218 00:12:16,320 --> 00:12:19,760 Speaker 4: and frankly complicated operation. It is not easy to land 219 00:12:19,800 --> 00:12:22,840 Speaker 4: helicopters in the middle of the largest military base in 220 00:12:22,880 --> 00:12:25,800 Speaker 4: the country. The guy lived on a military base, land 221 00:12:25,960 --> 00:12:28,280 Speaker 4: within three minutes, kick down his door, grab him, put 222 00:12:28,360 --> 00:12:30,120 Speaker 4: him in handcuffs, read him his rights, put him in 223 00:12:30,120 --> 00:12:33,120 Speaker 4: a helicopter, and leave the country without losing any American 224 00:12:33,360 --> 00:12:36,000 Speaker 4: or any American assets. That's not an easy mission. And 225 00:12:36,040 --> 00:12:37,680 Speaker 4: you're asking me why didn't we do that in five 226 00:12:37,720 --> 00:12:40,320 Speaker 4: other places at the same time. I mean, that's absurd. 227 00:12:42,600 --> 00:12:45,000 Speaker 3: It is absurd, is the only word that really makes 228 00:12:45,040 --> 00:12:47,920 Speaker 3: sense to your Clay. She's saying, Okay, so you did this, amazing. 229 00:12:48,080 --> 00:12:50,000 Speaker 3: It would be like telling Clay, I'll bring this into 230 00:12:50,040 --> 00:12:51,960 Speaker 3: your world. It would be like asking the guy who 231 00:12:52,120 --> 00:12:54,400 Speaker 3: just won the Super Bowl, who's the QB and just 232 00:12:54,440 --> 00:12:57,840 Speaker 3: threw four touchdowns, why didn't you guys get the number 233 00:12:57,840 --> 00:12:59,000 Speaker 3: one draft pick for next season? 234 00:12:59,000 --> 00:13:02,720 Speaker 1: Two? What are you saying or why didn't you throw 235 00:13:02,760 --> 00:13:03,640 Speaker 1: eight touchdowns? 236 00:13:03,920 --> 00:13:07,240 Speaker 2: Yes, four touchdowns pretty good game, and eight touchdowns is 237 00:13:07,280 --> 00:13:10,320 Speaker 2: almost impossible to do. I would also add, because I 238 00:13:10,360 --> 00:13:13,439 Speaker 2: do hear that, Margaret Brennan, I have to say, I mean, 239 00:13:14,000 --> 00:13:17,559 Speaker 2: Marco Rubio dunks on her every single time he goes 240 00:13:17,600 --> 00:13:21,040 Speaker 2: on and you can actually see, even though you're not 241 00:13:21,160 --> 00:13:25,400 Speaker 2: seeing him, you can see the exasperation in his voice 242 00:13:25,440 --> 00:13:27,880 Speaker 2: where he's just like you are a moron like. 243 00:13:27,840 --> 00:13:30,800 Speaker 3: That the way she asked question, they just pulled off 244 00:13:30,880 --> 00:13:35,440 Speaker 3: and every even Democrat You'll notice the smarter Democrats are 245 00:13:35,480 --> 00:13:38,760 Speaker 3: not saying a word about the tactical proficiency because this 246 00:13:38,880 --> 00:13:42,880 Speaker 3: because if you know anything, we could have had multiple 247 00:13:42,880 --> 00:13:45,760 Speaker 3: helicopters shot out of the sky. We could have lost 248 00:13:45,920 --> 00:13:48,400 Speaker 3: you know, twenty forty Delta operator. I mean, this could 249 00:13:48,400 --> 00:13:50,960 Speaker 3: have been a catastrophe if things had gone wrong. They 250 00:13:51,000 --> 00:13:54,040 Speaker 3: cou could have been risk captured, right, we could have 251 00:13:54,080 --> 00:13:56,640 Speaker 3: been captured like we could have We could have Delta. 252 00:13:56,640 --> 00:13:59,080 Speaker 3: We could have Delta guys, you know, you know being 253 00:13:59,120 --> 00:14:01,599 Speaker 3: put on video right now and handcuff. Any number of 254 00:14:01,600 --> 00:14:05,040 Speaker 3: things could happen. The proficiency, the skill here was incredible, 255 00:14:05,320 --> 00:14:08,800 Speaker 3: and so her response is why didn't you do five 256 00:14:08,920 --> 00:14:14,160 Speaker 3: more incredible, amazing missions that everybody should be celebrating. Like, 257 00:14:14,679 --> 00:14:16,760 Speaker 3: I don't know how much dumber can she be. It's 258 00:14:16,800 --> 00:14:17,840 Speaker 3: a good question to ask. 259 00:14:18,559 --> 00:14:21,600 Speaker 2: I'll answer by the way Margaret Brennan's question in a 260 00:14:21,640 --> 00:14:25,119 Speaker 2: way that I think Marco Rubio doesn't want to say publicly, 261 00:14:25,760 --> 00:14:29,600 Speaker 2: why did we leave the VP there? I'll tell you 262 00:14:29,680 --> 00:14:32,480 Speaker 2: why I think that happened when we come back, because 263 00:14:32,520 --> 00:14:35,320 Speaker 2: there's actually pretty strong evidence for people out there and say, 264 00:14:35,640 --> 00:14:38,720 Speaker 2: like Margaret Brennan, Okay, why didn't we actually wipe out 265 00:14:38,800 --> 00:14:42,400 Speaker 2: the entire majuro regime? I think that's a fair question, 266 00:14:43,280 --> 00:14:47,160 Speaker 2: but not articulated in a very intelligent way by Margaret Brennan. 267 00:14:47,160 --> 00:14:48,640 Speaker 2: But I'll answer it for you when we come back. 268 00:14:48,680 --> 00:14:51,200 Speaker 2: In the meantime, beginning of a new year restart for 269 00:14:51,280 --> 00:14:54,880 Speaker 2: many including new financial goals you might set for yourself. 270 00:14:54,920 --> 00:14:57,520 Speaker 2: If owning gold is one of those.

In the third hour, 347 00:19:09,600 --> 00:19:12,240 Speaker 2: we be talking with David Rutherford about the Delta Force 348 00:19:12,400 --> 00:19:15,159 Speaker 2: raid and comparing it to the Bin Laden raid and 349 00:19:15,240 --> 00:19:18,919 Speaker 2: more details surrounding it. But there's another big story that 350 00:19:19,040 --> 00:19:22,440 Speaker 2: is going on, and that is this Tim Walls has 351 00:19:22,480 --> 00:19:25,720 Speaker 2: announced that he will not be running for reelection as 352 00:19:25,760 --> 00:19:27,160 Speaker 2: governor of Minnesota. 353 00:19:27,320 --> 00:19:28,240 Speaker 1: Comes on the. 354 00:19:28,200 --> 00:19:33,240 Speaker 2: Heels of a twenty three year old YouTuber named Nick Shirley, 355 00:19:33,320 --> 00:19:36,720 Speaker 2: who we probably Ali should reach out to and try 356 00:19:36,720 --> 00:19:38,800 Speaker 2: to get on at some point in the near future 357 00:19:38,840 --> 00:19:44,920 Speaker 2: to talk about his megaviral investigation of Somali Daycares, which 358 00:19:45,320 --> 00:19:51,879 Speaker 2: uncovered pretty substantial evidence of huge fraud, got over I 359 00:19:51,960 --> 00:19:55,959 Speaker 2: believe on Twitter by itself over one hundred million views. 360 00:19:56,440 --> 00:19:58,879 Speaker 2: If you are on social media, there probably is a 361 00:19:59,040 --> 00:20:02,920 Speaker 2: very high chance that you have seen that video, and 362 00:20:03,520 --> 00:20:07,000 Speaker 2: in the wake of that, Tim Walls has now stepped down. 363 00:20:07,119 --> 00:20:10,240 Speaker 2: That just happened today. News started to come out last 364 00:20:10,320 --> 00:20:14,200 Speaker 2: night that he potentially was going to be dropping out. 365 00:20:14,480 --> 00:20:16,680 Speaker 1: Let me go to that in a second bucket. 366 00:20:17,119 --> 00:20:19,840 Speaker 2: Also, I just realized I teased at the end of 367 00:20:19,840 --> 00:20:22,600 Speaker 2: the first segment, why did we leave the VP? Let 368 00:20:22,640 --> 00:20:25,919 Speaker 2: me answer that really quickly. The word is that the 369 00:20:26,000 --> 00:20:32,919 Speaker 2: VP in Venezuela was responsible for all of the oil 370 00:20:33,040 --> 00:20:37,400 Speaker 2: production and that the Trump team had been very impressed 371 00:20:37,480 --> 00:20:40,240 Speaker 2: with her ability, even in the midst of all the 372 00:20:40,320 --> 00:20:44,720 Speaker 2: crazy sanctions, to have success in being able to produce 373 00:20:44,800 --> 00:20:48,640 Speaker 2: the oil that was produced. And so based on back 374 00:20:48,720 --> 00:20:54,360 Speaker 2: channel conversations, it seems like the Trump team is convinced 375 00:20:54,480 --> 00:20:57,600 Speaker 2: that she, because she still has the relationships with the 376 00:20:57,640 --> 00:21:01,879 Speaker 2: military and everything else, will play ball but be able 377 00:21:01,960 --> 00:21:06,520 Speaker 2: to accelerate oil production in a way that Maduro was 378 00:21:06,560 --> 00:21:08,880 Speaker 2: not willing to. So I think there's been a lot 379 00:21:08,920 --> 00:21:14,000 Speaker 2: of backchannel going on between Marco Rubio, other members of 380 00:21:14,040 --> 00:21:17,160 Speaker 2: the Trump team, and the Vice President who now has 381 00:21:17,240 --> 00:21:20,280 Speaker 2: been elevated to Venezuela. They think that she is going 382 00:21:20,359 --> 00:21:22,600 Speaker 2: to play ball. They have sent the message. If she 383 00:21:22,680 --> 00:21:25,520 Speaker 2: will not, they will take her out. So that is 384 00:21:25,560 --> 00:21:28,280 Speaker 2: the answer to the question that Margaret Brennan asked. Okay, 385 00:21:28,640 --> 00:21:32,560 Speaker 2: back to what's going on with Tim Wall stepping down. 386 00:21:33,400 --> 00:21:37,159 Speaker 2: Here are a couple of cuts. First of all, let's 387 00:21:37,320 --> 00:21:42,080 Speaker 2: play the Somali daycare manager saying his business was broken 388 00:21:42,119 --> 00:21:47,960 Speaker 2: into and all of his all of his records were stolen. 389 00:21:48,200 --> 00:21:50,640 Speaker 3: Before we play kind of just the videos in case 390 00:21:50,680 --> 00:21:52,879 Speaker 3: you haven't seen them, and I know you've seen them, 391 00:21:52,920 --> 00:21:56,760 Speaker 3: Clay and I have. But this guy goes around and 392 00:21:56,880 --> 00:21:59,800 Speaker 3: he goes to places that are listed as having a 393 00:22:00,080 --> 00:22:04,080 Speaker 3: hundred kids in Minneapolis, one hundred and fifty kids, and 394 00:22:04,119 --> 00:22:07,080 Speaker 3: the state of state of Minnesota has given millions of 395 00:22:07,119 --> 00:22:09,800 Speaker 3: dollars in many cases to these places to take care 396 00:22:09,800 --> 00:22:12,359 Speaker 3: of these kids. Well, what they find is it's an 397 00:22:12,400 --> 00:22:15,119 Speaker 3: empty storefront. What they find is that there are no 398 00:22:15,280 --> 00:22:17,600 Speaker 3: kids at this place at all. It's just like a 399 00:22:18,200 --> 00:22:23,119 Speaker 3: mailbox LLC address situation. Or in one case, famously, it 400 00:22:23,200 --> 00:22:29,040 Speaker 3: was listed as the Somali Leaning Center, not a learning center, 401 00:22:29,680 --> 00:22:30,679 Speaker 3: a leaning center. 402 00:22:30,760 --> 00:22:32,840 Speaker 1: It was missing the R on the sign. 403 00:22:33,560 --> 00:22:36,280 Speaker 3: So I don't think a lot of great daycare instruction 404 00:22:36,440 --> 00:22:38,359 Speaker 3: is going on at the leaning center. 405 00:22:38,840 --> 00:22:41,879 Speaker 1: What leering center, it's even worse. I'm sorry, aring war, 406 00:22:42,040 --> 00:22:42,639 Speaker 1: I'm sorry the. 407 00:22:44,160 --> 00:22:48,200 Speaker 2: Learing meetings a leading center. It used to be like 408 00:22:48,520 --> 00:22:51,800 Speaker 2: at least that's a word leering L E A R 409 00:22:52,080 --> 00:22:55,480 Speaker 2: I n G. They did not have learning spelled correctly. 410 00:22:55,800 --> 00:22:58,520 Speaker 2: They're paying making millions of dollars. So if you haven't 411 00:22:58,600 --> 00:23:01,320 Speaker 2: checked this out, what it's a good question. What percentage 412 00:23:01,480 --> 00:23:06,400 Speaker 2: of this radio audience do you think has seen those clips? 413 00:23:06,440 --> 00:23:09,720 Speaker 2: And again, if you're on social media, it's one hundred percent. 414 00:23:10,119 --> 00:23:14,320 Speaker 2: But I bet this audience maybe forty percent of people 415 00:23:14,359 --> 00:23:16,120 Speaker 2: are super active on social media. 416 00:23:16,200 --> 00:23:17,560 Speaker 1: That might even be too high. 417 00:23:17,960 --> 00:23:21,200 Speaker 2: So we will link this on clayanbuck dot com if 418 00:23:21,240 --> 00:23:23,200 Speaker 2: per chance you have not seen it now. They played 419 00:23:23,200 --> 00:23:25,959 Speaker 2: it on Fox News a lot all of those things, 420 00:23:26,400 --> 00:23:29,560 Speaker 2: but let's play this is one of the guys saying 421 00:23:29,880 --> 00:23:33,120 Speaker 2: this is a Somali daycare manager saying, hey, the business 422 00:23:33,200 --> 00:23:36,080 Speaker 2: was broken into We don't have any records anymore. All 423 00:23:36,119 --> 00:23:40,720 Speaker 2: of this is the underlying motivation for why suddenly Tim 424 00:23:40,760 --> 00:23:44,720 Speaker 2: Walls's political career appears to be over cut thirty one. 425 00:23:44,960 --> 00:23:48,879 Speaker 6: Unfortunately, we saw that there was employant documentation enrollment of 426 00:23:48,920 --> 00:23:52,479 Speaker 6: the children and also employee documentation that was gone. There 427 00:23:52,480 --> 00:23:57,159 Speaker 6: were also checkbooks. Now are rifts from our checkpapers are 428 00:23:57,280 --> 00:24:00,480 Speaker 6: from our book. This is devastating news and we don't 429 00:24:00,480 --> 00:24:03,720 Speaker 6: know why this is targeting our Somali community as one 430 00:24:03,960 --> 00:24:07,439 Speaker 6: video made by a specific individual made this all happen. 431 00:24:07,760 --> 00:24:12,080 Speaker 6: We've been receiving hateful messages through our voice threatening us 432 00:24:12,320 --> 00:24:14,800 Speaker 6: in the past couple of days, including one that happened 433 00:24:14,880 --> 00:24:17,520 Speaker 6: yesterday morning when the break in. After the breaking this 434 00:24:17,640 --> 00:24:21,200 Speaker 6: is frightening and exhausting because this is happening to us 435 00:24:21,320 --> 00:24:24,760 Speaker 6: some other communities, as some ol Americans. We are supposed 436 00:24:24,760 --> 00:24:26,720 Speaker 6: to stand with each other and help each other through 437 00:24:26,800 --> 00:24:30,040 Speaker 6: everything that's happening. This is also sad that a video 438 00:24:30,320 --> 00:24:32,280 Speaker 6: can cause all of this. I want to say that 439 00:24:32,320 --> 00:24:35,240 Speaker 6: there are hundreds of daycares out there, some Waliti Daycares 440 00:24:35,280 --> 00:24:37,800 Speaker 6: that are out there and we all help each our 441 00:24:37,880 --> 00:24:41,960 Speaker 6: children and everyone in our community. We have high quality 442 00:24:42,040 --> 00:24:45,200 Speaker 6: daycares and this is very sad news that one individual 443 00:24:45,440 --> 00:24:47,840 Speaker 6: who made a false claim about fraud that is happening 444 00:24:47,880 --> 00:24:51,239 Speaker 6: in the daycares helped engage everyone else to come and 445 00:24:51,280 --> 00:24:52,400 Speaker 6: do this to us. 446 00:24:52,920 --> 00:24:57,480 Speaker 3: I mean, so they brought just throw its clear fraud 447 00:24:57,520 --> 00:24:59,040 Speaker 3: has been and there is tremendous fraud. 448 00:24:59,560 --> 00:25:02,320 Speaker 1: This is there's lots of fraud. There's billions of dollars. 449 00:25:02,480 --> 00:25:05,240 Speaker 3: Because you know, this is the real when Tim Wallas 450 00:25:05,320 --> 00:25:06,960 Speaker 3: is under all this fire and now he is saying 451 00:25:06,960 --> 00:25:09,600 Speaker 3: he's not running again. This stuff is all connected. The 452 00:25:09,640 --> 00:25:11,399 Speaker 3: more you look at this, the more you're gonna find it. 453 00:25:11,560 --> 00:25:15,760 Speaker 3: It's even worse than people had thought previously. But Clay, 454 00:25:17,760 --> 00:25:20,280 Speaker 3: this guy is claiming that they broke in and stole 455 00:25:20,400 --> 00:25:25,240 Speaker 3: the documentation that you would need to you know, prove 456 00:25:25,280 --> 00:25:28,280 Speaker 3: that you had students enrolled or where the money went. 457 00:25:28,320 --> 00:25:29,720 Speaker 1: He's like, they stole our checkbook. 458 00:25:29,960 --> 00:25:34,080 Speaker 3: Really, a lot of really advanced burglars are breaking into 459 00:25:34,160 --> 00:25:39,200 Speaker 3: daycare centers to check on their employment records and they're enrollees. 460 00:25:39,600 --> 00:25:40,600 Speaker 1: I don't think so. 461 00:25:41,480 --> 00:25:44,560 Speaker 2: I also, big picture, we should have a conversation about 462 00:25:44,560 --> 00:25:46,359 Speaker 2: this the top of the next hour, because I do 463 00:25:46,440 --> 00:25:47,960 Speaker 2: think this is significant. 464 00:25:48,560 --> 00:25:49,960 Speaker 1: Why in the world. 465 00:25:50,000 --> 00:25:56,399 Speaker 2: Is the taxpayer being forced to pay for childcare for 466 00:25:57,240 --> 00:26:01,360 Speaker 2: people who are on welfare in this kind I think 467 00:26:01,359 --> 00:26:03,879 Speaker 2: it's a really everybody's going to focus on the fraud, 468 00:26:04,040 --> 00:26:07,240 Speaker 2: and the fraud is real, and it is, it's glaring, 469 00:26:07,320 --> 00:26:08,840 Speaker 2: and it shouldn't be allowed to happen. 470 00:26:09,359 --> 00:26:11,760 Speaker 1: But the process that was. 471 00:26:11,720 --> 00:26:16,000 Speaker 2: Put in place where we even created this idea that 472 00:26:16,160 --> 00:26:20,879 Speaker 2: taxpayer dollars should be going to fund people who are 473 00:26:20,920 --> 00:26:26,600 Speaker 2: on welfare childcare, I mean, you create the fraud opportunity 474 00:26:27,080 --> 00:26:29,960 Speaker 2: by very existence of this program in the first place. 475 00:26:30,040 --> 00:26:33,440 Speaker 1: Now Tim Walls has announced that it basically his political 476 00:26:33,480 --> 00:26:35,160 Speaker 1: career is over here. 477 00:26:35,200 --> 00:26:39,040 Speaker 2: He is saying that that YouTuber cut thirty is a 478 00:26:39,160 --> 00:26:43,360 Speaker 2: conspiracy theorist right winger. Well, if that's all true, why 479 00:26:43,400 --> 00:26:46,000 Speaker 2: isn't he still running for reelection cut thirty. 480 00:26:46,200 --> 00:26:50,120 Speaker 7: We've got Republicans here in the state legislature playing hide 481 00:26:50,119 --> 00:26:54,440 Speaker 7: and seek with potential whistleblowers.

But I cannot abide the actions of 495 00:27:40,240 --> 00:27:44,040 Speaker 8: the political leadership in Washington. These opportunists are working with 496 00:27:44,400 --> 00:27:47,040 Speaker 8: our people to score chief claim. 497 00:27:47,760 --> 00:27:50,840 Speaker 3: You know how we know it's all true. He's calling 498 00:27:50,840 --> 00:27:53,160 Speaker 3: it a conspiracy theory. That is the kiss of death 499 00:27:53,240 --> 00:27:53,680 Speaker 3: right there. 500 00:27:53,800 --> 00:27:53,879 Speaker 5: That. 501 00:27:54,000 --> 00:27:55,920 Speaker 1: You know, if a. 502 00:27:55,880 --> 00:27:59,040 Speaker 3: Democrat says when they're under under the heat on something, 503 00:27:59,400 --> 00:28:02,120 Speaker 3: it's her theory, you got him cornered. 504 00:28:02,200 --> 00:28:02,760 Speaker 1: It's true. 505 00:28:03,160 --> 00:28:06,960 Speaker 2: It's both true that the conspiracy theory is true. Also 506 00:28:07,040 --> 00:28:10,359 Speaker 2: the fact that he's ending his political career pretty good 507 00:28:10,400 --> 00:28:13,200 Speaker 2: sign that it's true. I mean about you, if people 508 00:28:13,240 --> 00:28:16,840 Speaker 2: started making up total lies about me, the last thing 509 00:28:16,880 --> 00:28:19,439 Speaker 2: I'm gonna do is suddenly have a press conference and 510 00:28:19,480 --> 00:28:23,840 Speaker 2: announce that I'm retiring because all the lies are so 511 00:28:23,880 --> 00:28:26,360 Speaker 2: significant that i can't deal with them anymore. I'm gonna 512 00:28:26,359 --> 00:28:29,680 Speaker 2: fight like hell to win in the marketplace of ideas 513 00:28:29,720 --> 00:28:32,320 Speaker 2: and prove that the people who are telling lies about 514 00:28:32,359 --> 00:28:36,320 Speaker 2: me are wrong. This is also a good sign that 515 00:28:36,400 --> 00:28:39,680 Speaker 2: he's running scared. They told all the press that showed 516 00:28:39,760 --> 00:28:41,560 Speaker 2: up for this announcement that he's not going to be 517 00:28:41,640 --> 00:28:46,080 Speaker 2: running for reelection, that he was going to be taking questions. 518 00:28:46,520 --> 00:28:49,400 Speaker 2: He did not take a single question. Think about how 519 00:28:49,400 --> 00:28:53,840 Speaker 2: many questions Trump takes at just about every public event 520 00:28:53,880 --> 00:28:57,760 Speaker 2: that he does. He's answering questions for media every single 521 00:28:57,880 --> 00:29:01,360 Speaker 2: day on every topic under the sun. Listen to the 522 00:29:01,480 --> 00:29:06,280 Speaker 2: media in Minnesota lose it as Tim Walls refuses to 523 00:29:06,320 --> 00:29:10,920 Speaker 2: take questions and bales on this press conference cut thirty two, 524 00:29:14,760 --> 00:29:15,440 Speaker 2: appreciate it. 525 00:29:15,320 --> 00:29:18,200 Speaker 3: Thank you. 526 00:29:18,400 --> 00:29:33,120 Speaker 9: Why didn't you all. 527 00:29:29,440 --> 00:29:30,920 Speaker 2: Right, so you can kind of hear that it's a 528 00:29:30,920 --> 00:29:33,320 Speaker 2: little bit messy. But even the press that has been 529 00:29:33,400 --> 00:29:37,640 Speaker 2: covering for Tim Walls, even they were saying, why are 530 00:29:37,680 --> 00:29:40,000 Speaker 2: you not answering questions? You know what this is starting 531 00:29:40,000 --> 00:29:43,760 Speaker 2: to reflect Buck the press is fine, the left wing 532 00:29:43,840 --> 00:29:46,960 Speaker 2: legacy media. We've talked about this a lot. They'll cover 533 00:29:47,160 --> 00:29:51,520 Speaker 2: for you until covering for you becomes embarrassing for them. 534 00:29:51,760 --> 00:29:53,800 Speaker 1: Yes, so they start to look bad. 535 00:29:54,360 --> 00:29:58,640 Speaker 2: Now in Minnesota, they're looking bad because of all of 536 00:29:58,680 --> 00:30:02,000 Speaker 2: these lies that they've been covering for. And again, I 537 00:30:02,000 --> 00:30:04,360 Speaker 2: think this is just indicative buck of the era that 538 00:30:04,400 --> 00:30:07,400 Speaker 2: we're in now where a twenty three year old YouTube 539 00:30:07,480 --> 00:30:11,200 Speaker 2: kid can go out and basically in the political career 540 00:30:11,240 --> 00:30:12,600 Speaker 2: of Tim Wwall's well. 541 00:30:12,600 --> 00:30:15,000 Speaker 3: But look look at also what Tim Wall said there 542 00:30:15,400 --> 00:30:18,719 Speaker 3: doesn't stack up to even a cursory review of the 543 00:30:18,760 --> 00:30:21,720 Speaker 3: facts on record. They've got almost one hundred people indicted 544 00:30:21,720 --> 00:30:24,440 Speaker 3: for this already and they're just getting started. So you 545 00:30:24,520 --> 00:30:28,400 Speaker 3: have federal criminal defendants that he said, Oh, I'm glad 546 00:30:28,400 --> 00:30:31,200 Speaker 3: of the US attorney and the career people. Okay, they're 547 00:30:31,320 --> 00:30:35,800 Speaker 3: racking up indictments of Somali fraudsters all over Minneapolis for this. 548 00:30:36,360 --> 00:30:41,640 Speaker 3: The estimate from sources inside the Minnesota government is that 549 00:30:41,760 --> 00:30:45,400 Speaker 3: of the eighteen billion dollars for these programs, nine billion 550 00:30:45,480 --> 00:30:48,640 Speaker 3: might have been fraudulent, which is close to the entire 551 00:30:48,680 --> 00:30:51,800 Speaker 3: GDP as people have pointed out of the country of Somalia. 552 00:30:52,720 --> 00:30:55,840 Speaker 3: So this is not to call this a conspiracy. Theory 553 00:30:56,160 --> 00:30:58,520 Speaker 3: is absurd, which is why you know that it's all true, 554 00:30:58,760 --> 00:31:02,239 Speaker 3: because that now they're just trying to smear. Oh, this 555 00:31:02,320 --> 00:31:05,800 Speaker 3: is just delay, this is smoke screen, this is nonsense. Clay, 556 00:31:06,280 --> 00:31:08,560 Speaker 3: one of the defendants, I thought this is really one 557 00:31:08,560 --> 00:31:12,840 Speaker 3: of the defendants already indicted on this exact fraud came 558 00:31:13,240 --> 00:31:18,600 Speaker 3: from Philadelphia set up shop in Minneapolis because it. 559 00:31:18,520 --> 00:31:20,080 Speaker 1: Was such a free for all and it was so 560 00:31:20,200 --> 00:31:20,880 Speaker 1: easy to do. 561 00:31:21,360 --> 00:31:25,360 Speaker 3: So this was like entrepreneurial fraudsters were showing up in 562 00:31:25,400 --> 00:31:27,760 Speaker 3: Minneapolis from elsewhere in the country going I want some 563 00:31:27,800 --> 00:31:30,200 Speaker 3: of that free Somali daycare money. 564 00:31:30,800 --> 00:31:32,160 Speaker 1: It was well known too. 565 00:31:32,320 --> 00:31:36,840 Speaker 2: There is video of parents showing up pretending to drop 566 00:31:36,880 --> 00:31:40,880 Speaker 2: their kids off, and then also out there of them 567 00:31:41,040 --> 00:31:45,440 Speaker 2: demanding kickbacks. They demanded that some of the money come 568 00:31:45,560 --> 00:31:48,800 Speaker 2: back to them. This is just widely known and again 569 00:31:49,200 --> 00:31:52,280 Speaker 2: big question, buck, you got a one year old soon 570 00:31:52,320 --> 00:31:57,760 Speaker 2: to be one year old, I've I've raised kids. Childcare 571 00:31:57,840 --> 00:32:03,000 Speaker 2: is incredibly expensive. I are taxpayer dollars being used to 572 00:32:03,280 --> 00:32:08,160 Speaker 2: subsidize childcare when so many moms and grandma's out there 573 00:32:08,240 --> 00:32:12,200 Speaker 2: and dads and granddads are showing up and giving of 574 00:32:12,360 --> 00:32:16,200 Speaker 2: their time to help provide childcare, and they're getting no 575 00:32:16,400 --> 00:32:18,760 Speaker 2: tax benefit for that at all. We got to really 576 00:32:18,880 --> 00:32:22,640 Speaker 2: look at the way that we handle childcare in this country. 577 00:32:22,680 --> 00:32:26,640 Speaker 2: I mean, in a large discussion that's a much bigger 578 00:32:26,840 --> 00:32:30,600 Speaker 2: and very worthwhile, but a much bigger discussion about what 579 00:32:30,680 --> 00:32:33,080 Speaker 2: is going on in this country, with the whole childcare situation, 580 00:32:33,280 --> 00:32:33,960 Speaker 2: that two. 581 00:32:33,880 --> 00:32:36,720 Speaker 3: Income trap, all these things. I would just add though, 582 00:32:36,920 --> 00:32:40,080 Speaker 3: with the Somali situation, and what you're seeing is this 583 00:32:40,200 --> 00:32:44,880 Speaker 3: is true in a lot of Muslim Middle Eastern countries, 584 00:32:44,920 --> 00:32:48,640 Speaker 3: particularly of the poorer ones like Yemen, Somalia. I know 585 00:32:48,760 --> 00:32:51,880 Speaker 3: some Alia's in Africa, but it's very close to Yemen actually, 586 00:32:51,920 --> 00:32:55,040 Speaker 3: and there's a lot of similarity, a lot of back 587 00:32:55,080 --> 00:32:58,680 Speaker 3: and forth between the countries. Point is ripping off people 588 00:32:59,040 --> 00:33:03,600 Speaker 3: like this, It's considered ridiculous to not. 589 00:33:03,600 --> 00:33:05,200 Speaker 1: Do this in these countries. 590 00:33:05,800 --> 00:33:07,960 Speaker 3: This is what people have to understand when we're talking 591 00:33:07,960 --> 00:33:10,960 Speaker 3: about importing other cultures and the problems of these other cultures. 592 00:33:11,200 --> 00:33:14,720 Speaker 3: If you come from Somalia generally speaking, and as I said, 593 00:33:14,720 --> 00:33:17,000 Speaker 3: ion hersty Ali is like a personal hero of mine. 594 00:33:17,040 --> 00:33:19,960 Speaker 3: She's a Somali refugee. She's incredible, she's brilliant, speaks out 595 00:33:19,960 --> 00:33:23,120 Speaker 3: against Islam. I'm not indicting all Samalis here, but as 596 00:33:23,160 --> 00:33:27,000 Speaker 3: a broad cultural issue, ripping off the government in a 597 00:33:27,000 --> 00:33:29,320 Speaker 3: place like Somalia, or just ripping off somebody that you 598 00:33:29,320 --> 00:33:32,000 Speaker 3: can easily get away with, is considered. 599 00:33:31,600 --> 00:33:32,360 Speaker 1: The smart thing to do. 600 00:33:33,120 --> 00:33:37,000 Speaker 3: There's no reason to morally cringe at this. You you 601 00:33:37,080 --> 00:33:38,320 Speaker 3: rip people off when you can. 602 00:33:38,960 --> 00:33:43,120 Speaker 2: This is why the whole warlord mindset, this is why 603 00:33:43,160 --> 00:33:48,600 Speaker 2: Western civilization is in conflict because actually having a recognition 604 00:33:48,720 --> 00:33:53,520 Speaker 2: and willingness to believe and support a larger society right 605 00:33:53,800 --> 00:33:57,000 Speaker 2: the best interest of a community as a whole. Much 606 00:33:57,000 --> 00:33:58,960 Speaker 2: of the rest of the world doesn't believe in that. 607 00:34:00,200 --> 00:34:03,080 Speaker 2: They come here and they see the generosity of the 608 00:34:03,120 --> 00:34:06,000 Speaker 2: Minnesotans who are paying all of these taxes and our 609 00:34:06,040 --> 00:34:10,080 Speaker 2: federal taxpayer dollars, and they see it as a weakness 610 00:34:10,320 --> 00:34:14,520 Speaker 2: that can be exploited. And they're taking advantage of so 611 00:34:14,560 --> 00:34:16,880 Speaker 2: many of you out there that are busting your asses 612 00:34:16,880 --> 00:34:20,319 Speaker 2: to pay taxes, and they're just putting the money right 613 00:34:20,360 --> 00:34:23,160 Speaker 2: in their pocket into your point buck. The fraud is 614 00:34:23,200 --> 00:34:27,640 Speaker 2: as big as the entire GDP of all of Somalia. 615 00:34:28,320 --> 00:34:28,839 Speaker 1: So what is it? 616 00:34:28,960 --> 00:34:32,720 Speaker 2: Seventy five percent of Samali people in the United States 617 00:34:32,920 --> 00:34:36,319 Speaker 2: are on welfare. Why are we taking anybody into this 618 00:34:36,400 --> 00:34:39,960 Speaker 2: country at all who immediately goes on to welfare. It's 619 00:34:40,000 --> 00:34:45,080 Speaker 2: absolutely indefensible. We all stockpile family keepsakes in our homes, 620 00:34:45,080 --> 00:34:50,240 Speaker 2: priceless photos, home movies, on video graduation announcements, diplomas, every 621 00:34:50,239 --> 00:34:52,480 Speaker 2: item that means too much to just throw away.
