There are some people that are writing their business plans of how to go to Minnesota and open up a leering center and create opportunities.
you're seeing girls being very impressed with guys that have their own facilities video i know you've been paying attention to this very closely in minnesota can you guys imagine a 23 year old guy named nick shirley decides to go to minnesota with a camera and another man who's from minnesota been investigating everything this 42-minute video if you've not seen this 42-minute video
by Nick Shirley that he posted. I don't know how many views it's at right now. That 42 minute video is over 111 million views on X, 536,000 likes, 199,000 retweets. And this is hundreds of millions of views because it doesn't account for other people that are retweeting. And he's going to all these facilities.
This one should have 102 kids, $2.6 million, the government fund, and knocking on the doors. Are there any kids here? No. Why not? It's the middle of the week, middle of the day. No. Next one, boom, boom, boom. Hey, are there any kids here in 95? No. Hey, get out of here. Hey, what are you doing here? Turn off the camera. 23-year-old kid is like, what are you guys doing?
By the way, while this is happening, you know what's crazy? If we go right now, and we'll talk about that here in a minute, CBS, ABC, NBC, CNN, any of those guys, this is how much you're talking about it. This is how much you're talking about it.
Because a guy named Tim Walz and Ilhan Omar are both holding each other, protecting each other, because if one drops the ball and throws the other one under the bus, it's going to be like this. And that's what Tom was talking about yesterday. And then if you're in Iran, folks... Things are very nasty in Iran, very, very nasty in Iran. I'm gonna show you the numbers.

Chapter 2: What is the Minnesota daycare fraud scandal?
We'll talk about that as well. Iran flat out came out and said, listen, our enemy is Israel. Our enemy is Iran. U.S., our enemy is Europe. They called everybody out that's their enemy. Tom, could you mute yourself because you keep moving paper and I hear it. If you don't mind, until we come to you. Thank you, Mr. Ellsworth.
Okay, so next, the fight for young men intensifies ahead of 2028, 2026 midterms. They're showing how Trump won the election in 2024 with winning over young men. But now they're saying that Democrats have figured out how to win young men over because they're going to need that for midterms in 2028. We'll talk about that. Musk and Mamdani go back and forth.
Musk calls out Mamdani on X. Mamdani calls him back. Vinny's got some thoughts on this. This one story that we have to touch, and maybe second or third story we touch, it's this 5% billionaire tax that they want to add into California. to some folks there, and David Sachs got involved, Chamath got involved.
Apparently, if you're worth a billion dollars or more as of January 1st of 2026, they're going to put 5% tax, they want to put 5% tax on your entire network. You're worth $7 billion, $6 billion of it on paper. You have to pay them $700 million to the government as if they know how to handle their money. And then video comes out showing how much fraud is going on in California.
These guys don't know how to handle money, let alone that one of you would ask for more taxes. We're definitely covering that. And then... A few other things. Jeffrey Epstein's Amazon purchase list came out. Let me say that one more time. Jeffrey Epstein's Amazon purchase list came out. You should see what this guy was buying.
Obviously, none of you will be surprised by it, but Adam is definitely not interested in this story. So let me continue. Tina Bash admits border is a story of accomplishment for Donald Trump. Tom wants to talk about that. How Americans are feeling about Trump after his first term in office coming to close. This is Time Magazine. Both Adam and Tom have a lot of thoughts on that.
Trump boasts tariffs creating great wealth as he predicts pricing. Tom, are you muted, Tom? I keep hearing something. Yeah. Somebody's paper is moving and I hear it.
Yeah.
Do you guys hear that paper sound?

Chapter 3: How is Iran's situation affecting global relations?
As of right now, the guy had 200,000 followers-ish right before he launched this video three, four days ago. He's got 760,000 followers. This 23-year-old kid. is doing more investigative journalism about Minnesota's fraud that's taking place than ABC, CNN, CNBC. You got, you know, NBC, any of these guys. He's going out there saying, I want to find out what's going on. And 42-minute video.
Rob, do you have a couple of clips to show what are some of the things that the world saw when it was going after knocking on the doors? By the way, when I first saw one of the clips, when Vinny's like, yeah, they're called the larynx center. I said, what's this larynx center? Let me go see what it looks like. I watched the whole video. Then I said, I sent it to everybody I know.
Just watch this thing on 2.0 speed and see what this kid did. Rob, if you have any of the clips, if you don't have any clips with you, maybe go to, let's go check CNN real quick to see if CNN is talking about this at all. Let's go check ABC. Let's go check CBS. See if any of these major outlets on their homepage, go to Fox one by one by one, Rob.
Let's check to see if anybody is even talking about the most viral story, exposing Tim Walz, exposing Ilhan Omar, exposing how that one Democrat that voted against it who Vinny's consistently talked about how right afterwards she goes and all of a sudden is found killed. Can we zoom in a little bit on those videos to see if there's anything about this? Do you see any of it that's about it?
Go a little bit lower. Do you see anything there, Rob? Anything there? Keep going. Is any of those stories about it, Rob? Rob, are you able to speak or no?
No.
Okay, if Rob is speaking, I can't hear him. Can you hear me now? Okay, I hear you now. Yeah, I don't see a single video here that has anything to do with the Minnesota fraud. Not a single one. That's ridiculous. Go to CNN.com. Don't even go to the YouTube page. Just go to CNN.com. Let's go to CNN.com, because I'm on CNN.com right now. You got the Netanyahu story.
You got nearly 500 women accused L.A. of OBG, line of decades of abuse. British boxer, Anthony Joshua, hurt in a fatal car accident in Nigeria. Key takeaways from Trump-Zelensky meeting. Nobody wants peace. There's not a single story on the homepage about that. Now go to ABC. If you go to abc.com, let's see what ABC's got. On abc.com, nothing on abc.com news.
This is ABC about what happened with Tim Walz and what they found out in Minnesota. If we go to cbs.com, Now, keep in mind, this is all the people that are supposed to be reporting this, right? This is their job. They went to school to be journalists. But nope, the most viral story they are not interested in at all because it exposes Democrats.

Chapter 4: What are the implications of the upcoming political midterms?
And all of a sudden, this guy who now is in one of the biggest scandals in the history of the United States, all right, over $18 billion, they picked that guy. Okay, let's put that to the side. Ilhan Omar. With her, with her husband, net worth going from almost nothing to all these billions of dollars. Then, you know, calling everybody racist that they even question it. Huh, that was weird.
Then you have Melissa Horan, Pat. The one Democrat, one Democrat who voted against giving these illegals in Minnesota health care. She gets assassinated at her house with her husband. Amy Klobuchar. It's so insane to me. And then on top of that, there's a realtor in Minnesota that said, and I said it around the clip, but I'll just say it. 450 houses in one area in Minnesota were bond cashed
turn into fake care centers, and then used to bill the state like clockwork, okay? Neighbors see no patients. All they see is luxury cars. Some of these places take in ex-cons without one in the community. So think about that. And by the way, a little fun fact, by law, realtors aren't even allowed to tell buyers what's happening in that situation, okay?
The state sends monthly checks with zero, I'm gonna say that again, zero inspections, and most of the homes have few or no clients, but the cash keeps coming in. And then the fraud, Pat, this, you guys have to understand, this isn't just a couple of Somalis that just came here illegally and they're doing $9 billion worth of fraud. This, to me, goes up the freaking ladder.
There is no way Ilhan Omar, Patrick, there's no way Mrs. Pro-Somalia, another video came out of her saying, I can't wait one of these days, I'm going to move back and live in Somalia with my child, that that person who was so pro, so pro-Somalia and anti-America, doesn't have an idea. Or Tim Walz, who's been silent.
All of them are silent and they're trying to use that whole white supremacist racist. There's a clip of Tim Walz claiming that everybody is racist. There's another video, Pat, where he's sitting there and obviously to set up and he looks back and the old Minnesota flag is there. He removes it and puts the new one that looks almost identical to the Somali flag. All right.
And what else was I going to say? There's a chart, Pat, that Rob has that I sent. The child and adult care centers in Minnesota maxing out donations to Somali candidates in Washington. Isn't that weird? What are child daycare centers donating to Democratic people in Washington? Isn't that weird? And Pat, I can't hear you guys right now, but I would like, yeah, look. Oh, isn't that weird?
Sunshine Child Care Center. Isn't that a little weird? Isn't that weird? So what are they donating to? I think this is what? Let me get out. I'm going to come right back in. Give me one second because I want to show you guys a video. Okay, so Rob, can you do me a favor? Folks, if you're watching this, to me, I don't care about whether I don't have ill intentions to Somalis or not.
I don't care where you're from, what skin color, what ethnicity, what religion. The only thing I care about is do you come in? Do you make the place better? Do you make the place safer? Do you create jobs for others? Do you love America? Do you go based on our values and principles that the founding fathers created? If you do, fantastic. You love America? Great.

Chapter 5: What are the implications of Iran declaring total war?
Sorry for my language. Interesting. I'm just I'm just excited for the 2026 fireman calendar of the year. You know, we've seen these calendars. It'll be littered with they them trans LGBT. And, you know, they say that facts don't care about your feelings. Well, fires don't care about your feelings. We saw what happened in California when the Palisades burnt down.
God forbid something ridiculous happens in New York. I'm just warning New York, be smart. And by the way, you know how Andrew Schultz said many years ago, he said, you know, I judge a great president by the way he moves merch. He said Biden doesn't know how to move merch. Trump knows how to move merch, right?
I wonder how much merch those calendars are going to sell of Fire Department of New York. I'd love to see her be in it.
Chapter 6: How does the economic situation in Iran affect its foreign policy?
But maybe we're wrong. Maybe 50 million people order it and you see it in offices. And I have no problem being wrong. And if 50 million sell, I'll Wi-Fi with them myself and hand it over to Vinny, Adam, and Tom and Humberto. But...
I need Tabasco for my eyes.
Yeah, I'm going to continue with this one. Let's go to the next story. Okay, Iran is upset. And they came out flat out, no longer holding back. I mean, it's not like they've been holding back for 46 years. But Iran declares total war.
against U.S., Israel and Europe as Islamic Republic seeks to expand nuclear facilities, meaning we don't give a shit if you want to do it because the sanctions right now are so bad in Iran. Let me read this to you. Iran's president declared war. against U.S.-Israel-Europe, just as Tehran looks to rebuild its nuclear capabilities.
Massoud Pesachkian made the bold statement in an interview published in state media Saturday. Barron's reported, in my opinion, we are at total war with the U.S., Israel, and Europe. They want to bring our country to its knees, Pesachkian said. This war, listen to what he says, this war is worse than the one launched against the U.S. by Iraq. This is in the 80s when Saddam Hussein was there.
On closer inspection, it is far more complex and difficult. He said in a reference to the 1980 to 88 war with Iran's Western neighbor, which when I lived in Iran, in Tehran during those eight years as well, the claims come amid UN sanctions on Iran orchestrated by France, Britain, and Germany due to the regime's continued pursuit of nuclear weapons.
It also followed the 12-day war with Israel in June when the Jewish state obliterated much of the Islamic Republic's nuclear capabilities with the assistance of devastating U.S. strikes as tensions between Middle East rivals ramps up. A Tehran-backed candidate is also likely to win a major election to a leading role with Hamas.
Khalia El-Hayah, a Palestinian politician, is expected to beat out Hamas's chief Khalid Mashal in an election for head of the group's political bureau, which could be decided in the coming days, sources told Saudi Arabian outlet Al-Qaeda.
shark reported let me give you some numbers folks before item i come to you real real is like a dollar real you know their currency is tuman and real like we have the dollar that's what iran has in 1979 when the revolution happened and a lot of iranians escaped and they brought their dollar their money from iran to here

Chapter 7: What are the consequences of DK Metcalf's actions on his career?
I'll ask the people of Iran. I'll ask the people of the Middle East who have suffered through this Islamic terrorism regime. Is your life better now than it was before? Five years ago, 10 years ago, 46 years ago, when the Ayatollahs took over Iran? No. They're one of the top 10 countries in the misery index. Inflation, unemployment, misery. They've been funding terrorism all around the world.
We're talking about... waste fraud and abuse that's going on in Minnesota Somalia California how much waste fraud and abuse has happened in Iran funding terror networks all over the Middle East all over the world for what so you have no money and most importantly and here's the kicker have no water this is a desert barren land and Iran is struggling with food their economy and drinking water
Walk me through. Tehran faces intensifying water crisis as reservoirs decline. So they've been pouring all this money into Hamas, Hezbollah, the Houthis, trying to tear down Israel. And look where they are now. Their people are desperate. They're revolting. Women are refusing to wear a hijab.
They've killed more people in the last year than ever before in terms of their own people, hang their own people. And how have your people been served by this? So you're going to lose people when they don't have water. You're funding terrorism, but nobody has water. So and now are they changing? Are they shifting ideology? They're doubling down on dumb now.
Now they're saying we're going to full on war against America, Israel and Europe. You just got your ass kicked, Islamic Republic of Iran, and now you want to double down and try to reduplicate your nuclear strategy? The Ayatollah, who's how old now? 80-something years old?
My opinion, as soon as this guy is dead, and it might come soon, that's the wrong guy, this whole regime is going to crumble, and everyone is waiting on the day for that to happen. Here's a question, though, while you're saying that.

Chapter 8: What lessons can be learned from the discussions on foreign policy?
Let's say it crumbles. Fine. It crumbles. Who's replacing them? Who? Who's going to be the replacement? What kind of a person? So the challenge isn't what's about to happen. The challenge is who is replacing this regime. A Wall Street Journal story just came out a couple of days ago, day after Christmas, talking about how Iran is easing its social rules amid crisis. but crushes dissent.
Live music is blaring on the streets of Tehran. Rob, you can show that one video. Women are ditching their mandatory hijabs and young people are dancing in cafes as authorities allow a degree of social freedom not seen since the Islamic revolution of 1970. A widespread, a widespread crackdown and dissidence and have executed more people this year than in nearly four decades.
That's what Adam was talking about. But more people executed this year than nearly in four decades. Both moves have same objective, preserving a system still shaken by last summer's 12-day war with Israel and by sanctions that have sent the economy spiraling.
The regime has one goal, and that is to make sure there is no collective action, no uprising, said Fatemeh Hagiajou, a former member of the Iranian parliament who is now living in exile in the U.S. They feared that if they enforced the hijab, There will be another uprising. They decided they can't fight people on every corner. So what does this really mean though? What does this really mean?
I mean, do you think a person is going to come in and not see all the opportunities of stealing money from the Iranian people?
i don't know do you think there's going to be a monarchy in iran like they're going to want a monarchy back in iran with somebody out here you need a very very strong personality for somebody to come in to address this and quite frankly i haven't seen that person yet there aren't too many people in the world that want to see a strong personality come out that's fearless that can stand against these guys and talk to them and and sell the dream of what the future of iran could look like i haven't seen that person a person that's willing to go beginning to the end
to make sure Iranians will be free again. The good news is the Iranian people themselves are fed up. They're sick of it. I just hope they choose somebody, they get behind somebody that believes Iran can be free again, a place that all of us can go for vacation. We're on the mountains this weekend and doing amazing trick skiing. And everybody's taking notes on the way we're skiing.
And Dylan says, hey, Dad, you know, does Iran have mountains? I said, of course Iran got mountains and snowing. Really? Yes. Rob, can you just go to Google and put Iran skiing mountain 70s? Just type in Iran mountains skiing 1970s. And just look at these pictures and go to images. And look what Iran look like. That's not Aspen. That's not Whistler. That's not Lake Tahoe. That's not Big Bear.
That's not Montana. That is Iran, folks. Iran looked like that in the 70s. You ain't got that today. You ain't got that going on today. You got to have a hijab while you're going down skiing. It was a very different climate then than today. And because at the time the shiny was, there's so many things I've been reading and studying lately with the Iranian revolution that happened at,
