0

153.762 - 175.052 Vince

This is what they just posted this weekend, letting everyone know that we are definitely in the Christmas season. Their message to the illegals in our country right now is, you are going ho, ho, home. You're going home, which is wonderful news. You know, it's funny.

0

175.072 - 191.146 Vince

I don't know if you hear this at all too, but there are people out there like, you know, the mass deportations, they're not happening at the rate I was hoping for. Where are the mass deportations? The good news, and I'm telling you, this is genuinely good news. You know, we're around 3 million people that we've deported from the country so far.

0

191.686 - 206.55 Vince

This year alone, it's not even a full year of the Trump administration. That'll be at the end of January. 3 million people have either been forcibly removed or have voluntarily removed themselves from the United States of America.

0

Chapter 4: How are Minnesota politicians involved in the fraud scandal?

206.53 - 229.281 Vince

It's a big deal. And ICE continues to hire. They're hiring some 10,000 new agents right now and deploying them all across the country to continue the effort to deport people who are here illegally. So if you don't go, go, go, you will be brought ho, ho, home by ICE. So thank you to ICE for doing that. Thank you to DHS for that wonderful Christmas message.

0

229.261 - 255.201 Vince

that's that's great uh and that's right db123 says three million it's not enough yet yeah amen i agree with you but let's be honest about what's actually happening let's that's the uh that's the whole point of the show just utter unstoppable integrity um okay so homeland security's got a great message and i hope that message applies pretty aggressively to any somali who has come to our country illegally and then subsequently stole from it

255.417 - 275.265 Vince

We're getting a lot of updates on the Somali theft of American taxpayer dollars. We knew that the Somalis had stolen over a billion dollars. What you may not have known is they have stolen some $8 billion approximately, according to some new reporting from Fox. Take a look at this.

0

275.245 - 286.118 Vince

Here is an update this past weekend from Fox on the $8 billion in theft that the Somalis seem to be responsible for in Minnesota. Look at this video.

0

286.138 - 302.738 Kelly Loeffler

Fraud investigators are finding in Minnesota is growing by the day. Kelly Loeffler, who leads the Small Business Administration, says in the two days her agency has been investigating the state, they've uncovered at least a million dollars in PPP fraud just two days in.

302.718 - 325.156 Kelly Loeffler

Several of the whistleblowers in Minnesota have also told lawmakers they believe the total amount of fraud could total up to more than $8 billion. Governor Tim Walz, who is up for reelection, is under fire for all of this happening under his watch. But he says they have paused these programs. They've brought in outside auditors to get an idea of how far reaching this fraud was.

325.537 - 334.087 Kelly Loeffler

They're taking steps to keep it from happening again. He's defending his management of the state while also taking shots at Republicans and the president.

336.189 - 355.928 Governor Tim Walz

And in spite of the headwinds we're up against, Minnesota ranks economically, economic growth, happiness, number of people insured, education levels near the very top. So I'll tell you what, I have no interest in having this state look like Oklahoma or Mississippi.

356.347 - 364.619 Governor Tim Walz

And if folks are going to commit crimes here, thinking because our generous spirit and our programs that we have is going to give them some kind of cover, they are sadly mistaken.

Chapter 5: What recent violent incidents occurred on Charlotte trains?

375.095 - 403.347 Vince

and by the way one of the reasons so many of these minnesota democrats let these somalis steal money is because these minnesota democrats were were stealing themselves from the same pot so basically this money was being driven into operations like quote feeding our future but look at this new york post piece minnesota democrat lawmakers received over 50 000 in campaign cash

0

403.327 - 424.288 Vince

from the feeding our future fraudsters, which is another way of saying they stole taxpayer cash for their campaigns. Minnesota Democrats, including the Attorney General, that's Keith Ellison, were handed over $53,000 in campaign contributions by fraudsters who ripped off taxpayer cash that was meant to feed children.

0

424.268 - 450.441 Vince

Keith Ellison, Jacob Frey, the mayor, Representative Ilhan Omar, and others all received cash from the scammers who siphoned off some $250 million through that nonprofit Feeding Our Future. Many of these guys did so after meeting the crooks, raising questions about how much they knew. This sounds like a very familiar sequence of events, doesn't it?

0

450.822 - 471.758 Vince

Where you have like organizations who are causing utter chaos. For instance, in California, remember earlier this year, pro-illegal alien operation, rioting in the streets, causing all sorts of nightmares for California. And California's Democrat lawmakers all look the other way. Why did they look the other way? Because they're all on the take from that very same organization.

0

471.738 - 491.942 Vince

This keeps happening over and over and over again. Why didn't they enforce the law? Because they were paid not to. They were paid to look the other way. And so they did. Man, this scheme is corrupt. And then Ilhan Omar, who was on the take, she was on TV this weekend, and she said, you know, this whole scandal where the Somalis stole $8 billion from U.S.

491.962 - 498.91 Vince

taxpayers, the real victims of this story are the Somalis. They're the real victims here, not you. Watch.

500.071 - 525.42 Margaret Brennan

So this was, just for our audience, the Binary Justice Department called it the largest COVID fraud scheme in the country, and this was pocketing COVID-era welfare funds, more than a billion dollars in taxpayer money that was stolen. It was pretty shocking. Of the 87 people charged, all but eight are of Somali descent, and that has added to the spotlight being put specifically on your community.

526.001 - 530.467 Margaret Brennan

No kidding. Why do you think this fraud was allowed to get so widespread?

532.029 - 566.23 Ilhan Omar

Well, I want to say, you know, this also has an impact on Somalis because we are also taxpayers in Minnesota. We also could have benefited from the program and the money that was stolen. And so it's been really frustrating for people to not acknowledge the fact that we're also, as Minnesotans, as taxpayers, really upset and angry about the fraud that has occurred.

Chapter 6: How does the American public view immigration enforcement?

567.031 - 594.015 Vince

Oh, shut up. So she says Somalis are taxpayers. No, they're not. In this scenario, the Somali community are the takers. If you take $8 billion and pay $50 million in, you're not a taxpayer. You're a taker. You're a thief in this case. And Margaret Brennan was right. She said out of the 90-some people that were busted here, about 87 of them were Somalis.

0

594.075 - 617.357 Vince

So basically almost every single one was a Somali national or a Somali descendant who was stealing all of this money from American taxpayers. And then did you notice Margaret Brennan's stupid question? She asked, how was this fraud allowed to get so bad? Did you notice the blame shifting that was involved there? How was this fraud allowed to get so bad?

0

617.397 - 642.386 Vince

So instead of asking, why are Somalis stealing all of this money from Americans, which is at its core what this story is about, she asked a different question, which is, well, who else is responsible for this thing that the Somalis benefited from? No. Start with the first question. Why did the Somalis rob us blind? Why are they here? And why should they stay here, Ilhan Omar?

0

643.027 - 664.047 Vince

She didn't ask that question. And then Omar says, well, the real victims of this are the Somalis. They're the real victims. They're taxpayers. It's really cruel to judge them. You shouldn't judge them. Now, you shouldn't defraud us. Ilhan Omar was asked about Stephen Miller at the White House. Miller said something really simple. You have to assimilate into our country.

0

Chapter 7: What are the implications of Henry Cuellar's recent pardon?

664.107 - 682.948 Vince

If you're going to come into our country, you can't merely bring some sort of failing culture with you. You have to adopt the winning American culture or else you can't come at all. That's reasonable. That's a reasonable ask. Here's Ilhan Omar saying this makes Stephen Miller, the Jewish guy, a Nazi.

0

683.603 - 702.609 Margaret Brennan

On Thanksgiving Day, he posted, no magic transformation occurs when failed states cross borders. At scale, migrants and their descendants recreate the conditions and terrors of their broken homelands. What do you make of this argument of failure to assimilate and sort of ruining America? How do you understand this?

0

702.99 - 717.559 Ilhan Omar

I mean, when I think about Stephen Miller and his white supremist rhetoric, it reminds me, yes, it reminds me of the way the Nazis described Jewish people in Germany.

0

717.539 - 741.943 Ilhan Omar

you know as as we know uh there have been many immigrants who've tried to come to the united states who've turned back be you know one of them being jewish immigrants um we know the way that people were described who were coming from ireland irish immigrants we know the way in which people were described back then um when they were italian immigrants uh and to me you know we're we're yes of

0

741.923 - 752.936 Ilhan Omar

Of course, ethnically Somali, we are in this country as Americans. We are citizens. We are productive part of this nation and we will continue to be.

755.139 - 771.281 Vince

Productive. Right now, the rap on the Somalis in America are they are destructive, not productive. In fact, almost all of the Somali migrants are on the take. Seventy five percent of them are on welfare leave. I don't know what she's even talking about.

771.622 - 787.033 Vince

But this core point where she was saying, you know, Stephen Miller's the Nazi and the rhetoric he's using is the kind of rhetoric that people have used against Jewish people. She is a snake, isn't she? So in this equation, Stephen Miller is a Jewish person.

787.013 - 808.776 Vince

Meanwhile, Ilhan Omar has used anti-Semitic tropes to saying things like it's all about the Benjamins to describe Jewish power and Jewish people. And then she has also done things like downplay the terror attack on the United States on September 11th. Remember, infamously summarized as some people did something. Some people did something.

809.336 - 823.789 Vince

That's a hell of a way to describe the most horrific terror attack this century. But that's what she did. That's Ilhan Omar turning everything on its head, covered in a turban. Yeah, no, that's Ilhan Omar.

Chapter 8: What cultural issues are linked to the Somali community in Minnesota?

824.35 - 845.346 Vince

Stephen Miller's totally right, by the way. Stephen Miller is totally right. You can't have a country if you open our borders and then no one assimilates into the culture of our country. If that's what you've got, you don't have a country. Your country collapses. So Stephen Miller is right. He's defending the integrity of our country. He's defending our sovereignty.

0

845.746 - 865.013 Vince

And he's trying to ensure the long-lasting success of a great country. She's working for the opposite of all of those goals. She's working for the destruction of the country. And she's making excuses for the theft of your money. That's what she's doing. That's Ilhan Omar.

0

867.541 - 887.237 Vince

assimilating is important scott besant's the treasury secretary he was on tv this weekend and he said somalis need to learn to join america like everybody else here he is you know when you come to this country you got to learn which side of the road to drive on you got to learn to stop at stop signs and you got to learn the not to defraud the american people

0

889.647 - 908.174 Vince

Those are pretty basic rules of the road, so to speak. You have to learn what side of the road to drive on. You have to learn to stop at stop signs. And you have to learn not to defraud the American people. These are very basic concepts. That's what we call the lowest expectations imaginable. That's the bare minimum. But he is right.

0

908.514 - 916.144 Vince

For those of you in the chat who've ever traveled internationally, have you detected this? You'll go to some other country and you'll see just on the way that people drive on the road.

917.245 - 938.611 Vince

Certainly you can go to the English countries where people drive on the left side of the road, but you know, especially when you go into like third world countries, go to Peru, go to the Dominican Republic, go to all over the place. And what you see is that road signs and lines are barely suggestions. It's just chaos all over the road. People just go wherever they want.

939.152 - 960.002 Vince

And motorists, by the way, are constantly killed in those environments. We have motorcycles and motorbikes weaving in and out of traffic. It's actually horrific. You instantly get a picture of what it looks like to live in a world with complete disorder, with corruption, with power outages, with theft of everything.

960.303 - 975.527 Vince

And then you come home to the United States of America and you say, man, I'm glad I live in this country. I'm glad we have order. I'm glad we have rules. I'm glad we have laws. I'm glad we have protections against corruption. But then you see a story like what we're seeing out of Minnesota and you start to think, man, this is awfully third world.

975.895 - 991.558 Vince

So an entire culture of people who come from a failed country arrives in the United States of America, and they begin immediately robbing us blind, using government programs as a means to steal from the taxpayer to the tune of $8 billion.
