the peapod dot com. But you also probably didn't hear

12
00:00:35,200 --> 00:00:40,560
then that I was down sick during my vacation during Christmas,

13
00:00:40,880 --> 00:00:43,759
some flu like thing that tried to murder me. I survived,

14
00:00:44,320 --> 00:00:47,200
so I am here. But the voice sounds a little rough,

15
00:00:47,600 --> 00:00:50,280
got some congestion going on, So I apologize if I

16
00:00:50,320 --> 00:00:53,200
sound rough, But if I sound better, then you're welcome.

17
00:00:55,439 --> 00:00:59,719
Melissa says, yes, your immune system often dips on vacation

18
00:01:00,679 --> 00:01:05,200
due to what's called the letdown effect, where stress hormones decrease,

19
00:01:05,719 --> 00:01:10,159
making you vulnerable to new germs and existing viruses after

20
00:01:10,200 --> 00:01:14,599
a high stress period. Well, I mean it's not like

21
00:01:14,959 --> 00:01:16,719
high stress on it. It's not like I went through

22
00:01:16,799 --> 00:01:20,560
like two and a half straight months of events and

23
00:01:20,599 --> 00:01:28,519
election coverage. No, actually, that does make sense. People keep

24
00:01:28,799 --> 00:01:34,319
spamming me with this stuff about Andy Griffin. Look again,

25
00:01:34,560 --> 00:01:39,920
I'm just telling you what the experts told all of

26
00:01:39,959 --> 00:01:44,200
the listeners of WBT, like twenty years ago. They went

27
00:01:44,239 --> 00:01:48,280
into great length, covered lots of the episodes, like there

28
00:01:48,280 --> 00:01:52,159
was the crossover episode with the Dukes of Hazzard, like

29
00:01:52,239 --> 00:01:55,879
that was a classic. Spires and Krantz the Afternoon Morning

30
00:01:56,040 --> 00:01:59,719
or sorry Afternoon Drive team here, like, they talked a

31
00:01:59,760 --> 00:02:03,480
lot about Andy Griffin. They were experts on it. They

32
00:02:03,519 --> 00:02:05,799
knew all the episodes, like when Opie got busted for

33
00:02:05,879 --> 00:02:08,879
smoking crack behind the barn, like all of the episodes.

34
00:02:10,000 --> 00:02:14,120
So Russ says, it's funny how people who don't know

35
00:02:14,159 --> 00:02:19,719
about Chet or Tricksie cannot handle Andy Griffin references. By

36
00:02:19,719 --> 00:02:21,919
the way, that was another thing that Spiers and Krantz

37
00:02:21,960 --> 00:02:24,000
would allow callers to do. If you didn't want to

38
00:02:24,039 --> 00:02:26,240
give your real name when you called in, you could

39
00:02:27,199 --> 00:02:30,719
you could use the name Chet or Trixie, and that

40
00:02:30,840 --> 00:02:34,120
was the well. If you were a dude, you used Chet.

41
00:02:34,240 --> 00:02:39,240
They were different times. But dudes used chet and the

42
00:02:39,280 --> 00:02:45,639
gals used tricksye, so they were a comedy duo. Also,

43
00:02:46,199 --> 00:02:47,960
they were the ones that first introduced me to the

44
00:02:48,080 --> 00:02:54,919
hit classic Christmas tune Sammy the Christmas Snake. So all right,

45
00:02:54,960 --> 00:02:57,159
one of the other stories, because I said, even though

46
00:02:57,199 --> 00:03:01,879
I was near death, I did keep up with the news.

47
00:03:01,919 --> 00:03:06,560
And so one of the stories that I saw move

48
00:03:06,599 --> 00:03:10,960
across the social media actually not really at all in

49
00:03:11,039 --> 00:03:13,639
the legacy media. And maybe they were all on vacation

50
00:03:13,919 --> 00:03:17,719
or fighting, you know, a flu like I was. So

51
00:03:17,800 --> 00:03:19,840
maybe they just haven't gotten around to covering it yet.

52
00:03:19,879 --> 00:03:25,840
That's possible. It's possible, But it was sort of an

53
00:03:26,000 --> 00:03:29,560
add on story. I've talked about this before. We say,

54
00:03:29,560 --> 00:03:32,280
in the in the media biz, in the news biz,

55
00:03:32,439 --> 00:03:37,159
if a story has legs, it means that you do

56
00:03:37,240 --> 00:03:40,280
the first story, the initial story, but then the story

57
00:03:40,319 --> 00:03:45,280
can continue to move through multiple news cycles for days

58
00:03:45,400 --> 00:03:49,960
or weeks or months or even years. Right, So that

59
00:03:50,039 --> 00:03:55,759
story has legs. And so this story about the obvious

60
00:03:55,800 --> 00:04:00,919
massive fraud that has occurred up in Minnesota, this story

61
00:04:00,960 --> 00:04:05,400
has legs. So you'll recall, before I was nearly murdered

62
00:04:05,400 --> 00:04:09,479
by the flu, before I went out on vacation. Last week,

63
00:04:10,039 --> 00:04:14,199
we had covered the story, the initial bombshell of the story,

64
00:04:14,439 --> 00:04:22,639
which was widely covered by legacy outlets, mainly because the

65
00:04:22,759 --> 00:04:27,160
US Attorney, the first Assistant US Attorney, Joe Thompson, held

66
00:04:27,160 --> 00:04:30,600
a press conference and denounced, you know, a whole bunch

67
00:04:30,639 --> 00:04:33,920
of charges and an investigation and all this stuff into

68
00:04:35,079 --> 00:04:40,560
at least nine billion dollars that was billed across fourteen

69
00:04:40,600 --> 00:04:45,079
medicaid services in Minnesota that may be fraudulent. Nine billion

70
00:04:45,160 --> 00:04:52,160
dollars okay. According to Thompson, fourteen medicaid services under audit

71
00:04:52,600 --> 00:04:56,439
and deemed to be high risk for fraud have cost

72
00:04:56,480 --> 00:05:00,000
the state eighteen billion dollars since two thousand and eight.

73
00:05:00,079 --> 00:05:03,560
Team Thompson said that a substantial amount of money build

74
00:05:03,560 --> 00:05:06,560
across those programs is fraudulent, but the exact amount is

75
00:05:06,560 --> 00:05:10,000
still under investigation. He said, I don't make these generalizations

76
00:05:10,000 --> 00:05:13,519
in a hasty way. When I say significant amount, I'm

77
00:05:13,560 --> 00:05:16,519
talking on the order of half or more of the

78
00:05:16,560 --> 00:05:20,079
eighteen billion. That's where we get the nine billion figure from,

79
00:05:20,759 --> 00:05:22,839
he said. But we'll see. When I look at the

80
00:05:22,839 --> 00:05:27,319
claims data and the providers, I see more red flags

81
00:05:27,519 --> 00:05:33,240
than I see legitimate providers. Thompson said, the scale of

82
00:05:33,279 --> 00:05:37,240
fraud outpaces that of other states and put services at

83
00:05:37,319 --> 00:05:39,920
risk for people who really need them. And I will

84
00:05:40,240 --> 00:05:43,920
make this point once again as I made over a

85
00:05:43,920 --> 00:05:46,879
week ago, which is that you would think that the

86
00:05:46,920 --> 00:05:51,639
people who advocate for these programs, who want more government

87
00:05:51,759 --> 00:05:56,040
funding for programs and services to help people, you would

88
00:05:56,040 --> 00:05:59,720
think that they would be the biggest hawks when it

89
00:05:59,720 --> 00:06:03,399
comes to spending, that they would be the ones watching

90
00:06:03,560 --> 00:06:06,759
every penny. Well, we can't watch pennies anymore because they

91
00:06:06,800 --> 00:06:11,360
discontinued those, but watching every nickel and dime and quarter

92
00:06:11,399 --> 00:06:14,040
and dollar, right, they would be watching to make sure

93
00:06:14,240 --> 00:06:17,720
that there is no waste, fraud or abuse, because every

94
00:06:17,839 --> 00:06:20,600
dollar that is lost to waste, fraud or abuse is

95
00:06:20,639 --> 00:06:22,959
a dollar that is not going to help the people,

96
00:06:23,000 --> 00:06:26,120
which was the whole reason why you spent all that

97
00:06:26,160 --> 00:06:31,560
political capital theoretically to get these programs put in place. Right,

98
00:06:32,519 --> 00:06:37,279
But for some reason, it does seem like the biggest

99
00:06:37,319 --> 00:06:40,480
advocates for the spending and the programs and the services

100
00:06:41,120 --> 00:06:43,639
don't ever seem to care about all the waste and

101
00:06:43,720 --> 00:06:48,319
fraud and abuse. I'm just pointing that out. Just it

102
00:06:48,399 --> 00:06:53,240
doesn't seem like there's a lot of energy from the

103
00:06:53,279 --> 00:06:59,240
proponents of these programs. Back to the CBS news story.

104
00:07:00,439 --> 00:07:05,040
While prosecutors typically see fraud manifest as providers over billing

105
00:07:05,240 --> 00:07:08,600
for their services, Thompson said during this news conference that

106
00:07:09,240 --> 00:07:13,959
companies have been created to provide no services at all,

107
00:07:15,160 --> 00:07:17,759
and then they just pocket the federal funds and use

108
00:07:17,800 --> 00:07:24,639
it for things like international travel, luxury vehicles, and lavish lifestyles.

109
00:07:24,680 --> 00:07:27,319
Like why bother even like going through the hassle of

110
00:07:27,399 --> 00:07:30,199
creating and providing a service at all if you don't

111
00:07:30,240 --> 00:07:35,160
have to write the magnitude cannot be overstated. He said,

112
00:07:35,160 --> 00:07:37,360
what we see in Minnesota is not a handful of

113
00:07:37,360 --> 00:07:44,040
bad actors committing crimes. It's staggering industrial scale fraud. Okay,

114
00:07:45,079 --> 00:07:50,759
keep that in mind, industrial scale fraud. I would submit

115
00:07:51,399 --> 00:07:55,959
that in the latest revelation that's related to this story,

116
00:07:57,279 --> 00:07:59,519
the story that has legs right, the next leg in

117
00:07:59,560 --> 00:08:05,800
the story is another piece of evidence of the industrial

118
00:08:05,839 --> 00:08:09,079
scale fraud. There is a template, there's a model. It's

119
00:08:09,079 --> 00:08:12,519
like a factory. You figure out how to make the thing,

120
00:08:12,839 --> 00:08:16,560
and then you just keep churning them out. You just

121
00:08:16,680 --> 00:08:21,600
keep making these fake businesses. You keep applying for the

122
00:08:21,639 --> 00:08:25,279
fake or the real grants for your fake company, and

123
00:08:25,319 --> 00:08:27,800
you just keep siphoning off more and more money. And

124
00:08:27,879 --> 00:08:31,720
once that template works, you just replicate the template, and

125
00:08:31,759 --> 00:08:33,360
you just keep doing it over and over and over again,

126
00:08:33,399 --> 00:08:37,279
and you find all different services and programs to go into.

127
00:08:39,000 --> 00:08:43,440
So this is about mediciate fraud. Just medicate. That's what

128
00:08:43,519 --> 00:08:47,039
his announcement was about. Medicaid. More than ninety percent of

129
00:08:47,080 --> 00:08:50,399
the people charged in the major fraud cases announced before

130
00:08:51,679 --> 00:08:56,600
this press conference. So again, ninety percent of the people

131
00:08:56,600 --> 00:08:59,440
that have been charged, and we're talking dozens so far,

132
00:09:00,720 --> 00:09:09,080
ninety percent of them are Somali. They're from Somalia. Governor

133
00:09:09,080 --> 00:09:13,279
Tim Walls, he of the Jazz Hands, the very manly

134
00:09:13,440 --> 00:09:19,879
vice presidential candidate. He denounced President Trump's comments about all

135
00:09:19,879 --> 00:09:22,960
of this, saying that an audit do for completion by

136
00:09:23,039 --> 00:09:25,960
late next month should give a better picture on the

137
00:09:26,000 --> 00:09:28,879
extent of the fraud. He said his administration is taking

138
00:09:28,919 --> 00:09:36,320
aggressive action to prevent fraud in the future. Okay, enter

139
00:09:36,559 --> 00:09:42,080
onto the scene. One Nick Shirley, a twenty three year

old YouTuber with one microphone, a camera guy, and two

141
00:09:49,879 --> 00:09:55,320
security staffers and some random researcher who apparently reached out

142
00:09:55,360 --> 00:09:58,360
to Nick Shirley with a whole bunch of research that

143
00:09:58,440 --> 00:10:02,840
prompted Nick and his CA guy with their two security

144
00:10:03,000 --> 00:10:07,279
guys in tow to go pay a visit to several

145
00:10:09,320 --> 00:10:13,919
service providers. Scratch that, not really sure they're service providers.

talking with producer Burnie before the program today about you know,

170
00:11:41,440 --> 00:11:44,120
is he a journalist or not? Like, a journalist doesn't

171
00:11:44,120 --> 00:11:48,440
really have a definition. It could be anything like, really,

172
00:11:50,360 --> 00:11:52,679
you know, you can get credentials that say I went

173
00:11:52,720 --> 00:11:55,720
to a school, I mean I did. I graduated with

174
00:11:55,759 --> 00:11:58,799
a degree in mass communication broadcast although you would never

175
00:11:58,879 --> 00:12:03,759
know it. But does that make me a journalist? If

176
00:12:03,799 --> 00:12:07,440
I go to work in a newsroom as I did

177
00:12:07,440 --> 00:12:09,919
here at WBT, and I go out, I cover meetings

178
00:12:09,960 --> 00:12:13,120
and that sort of thing, does that make me the journalist?

179
00:12:13,399 --> 00:12:15,480
What if I had never gone to college but I

180
00:12:15,559 --> 00:12:17,759
was still doing the same kind of work, But I

181
00:12:17,799 --> 00:12:22,159
still be a journalist, right? So it like I count

182
00:12:22,360 --> 00:12:25,519
all journalists as sort of the same, because it's just

183
00:12:25,559 --> 00:12:29,279
sort of a it's a tag, and there are good

184
00:12:29,480 --> 00:12:33,200
journalists and ethical ones, and then there are propagandists that

185
00:12:33,320 --> 00:12:38,639
are masquerading as honest journalists. Right anyway, So this guy

186
00:12:38,679 --> 00:12:41,159
is twenty three years old, he's unpolished. I watched the video.

187
00:12:41,200 --> 00:12:45,039
He put out, a forty two minute video from his

188
00:12:45,200 --> 00:12:50,759
tour of dozens of places that claim to be daycares,

189
00:12:51,080 --> 00:12:56,919
adult daycares, and there were even some transportation companies that

190
00:12:57,000 --> 00:13:00,679
don't seem to actually be legitimate businesses. And he did

191
00:13:01,440 --> 00:13:06,679
what journalists do, which is to document via video, right,

192
00:13:08,039 --> 00:13:13,279
his attempts to enroll I believe a fictitional Joey Jr.

193
00:13:15,279 --> 00:13:20,159
In the daycares. So at the beginning of the video,

194
00:13:21,200 --> 00:13:25,679
Nick Shirley introduces a man named David, who he says

195
00:13:26,320 --> 00:13:32,519
did the research. David lives in Minneapolis, and David has

196
00:13:32,559 --> 00:13:35,759
been doing the research into all of these daycares, these

197
00:13:35,759 --> 00:13:39,840
home healthcare providers and transportation companies.

198
00:13:40,360 --> 00:13:43,320
Speaker 2: How I got involved is that where my office is

199
00:13:43,399 --> 00:13:45,600
here in Minneapolis, I'm sort of in the heart of

200
00:13:45,679 --> 00:13:49,799
all of this fraud, and I would see these childcare centers.

201
00:13:49,840 --> 00:13:51,360
I said, well, there are any kids there. It's the

202
00:13:51,360 --> 00:13:53,360
middle of the day and all I see are a

203
00:13:53,399 --> 00:13:55,519
couple of guys standing out front smoking. And then I'd

204
00:13:55,519 --> 00:13:57,440
go buy another daycare and I'd see the same thing.

205
00:13:57,480 --> 00:14:00,559
I said, well, where do these kids playing? So I

206
00:14:00,600 --> 00:14:02,159
started to go online and look and I said, this

207
00:14:02,200 --> 00:14:06,399
place is licensed for eighty children. They had zero children.

208
00:14:06,519 --> 00:14:08,399
Every time I went by there, they never had a

209
00:14:08,440 --> 00:14:10,799
single child there. Then I started to see all these

210
00:14:10,799 --> 00:14:15,159
transportation companies going around and it was always a Somali

211
00:14:15,279 --> 00:14:17,240
driver and I said, well, that's great, they're out there

212
00:14:17,320 --> 00:14:21,399
transportation contributing, but they never had a passenger, never ever once.

213
00:14:22,159 --> 00:14:24,840
And I said, well, what is all this transportation? What

214
00:14:24,919 --> 00:14:27,639
are they doing? So then I found out that in

215
00:14:27,720 --> 00:14:33,440
Minnesota they have something called non emergency medical transportation, so

216
00:14:33,519 --> 00:14:37,360
this is going to the dentist's office, therapy, whatever it

217
00:14:37,480 --> 00:14:40,039
might be. And I said, well, how many of these

218
00:14:40,039 --> 00:14:42,799
companies are there? And the research came back that there

219
00:14:42,799 --> 00:14:46,120
are oney twenty of them and more than eight hundred

220
00:14:46,200 --> 00:14:50,600
of them are Somalioned. Nobody from the state of Minnesota

221
00:14:51,080 --> 00:14:53,919
ever cross checks to see if any rides were ever

222
00:14:54,000 --> 00:14:56,919
actually provided. All they did was write the check.

223
00:14:57,120 --> 00:15:00,480
Speaker 1: See so that sounds like a problem. I mean, okay,

224
00:15:00,960 --> 00:15:05,919
over one thousand transportation companies and eight hundred of them

225
00:15:06,039 --> 00:15:12,279
are Somali owned. Again, industrial scale fraud. When you find

226
00:15:13,399 --> 00:15:16,720
a template, a way to commit the fraud, then you

227
00:15:16,840 --> 00:15:18,840
replicate that over and over and over and over and

228
00:15:18,879 --> 00:15:23,519
over again, and you get different people. In this Somali community,

229
00:15:23,559 --> 00:15:28,279
which is very closed, tight knit, right don't They don't

230
00:15:28,279 --> 00:15:31,639
talk to outsiders, they don't assimilate into the general population,

231
00:15:32,440 --> 00:15:36,919
and so they obviously have struck upon a get rich

232
00:15:37,039 --> 00:15:40,960
quick scheme and they're replicating it. And by the way,

233
00:15:41,240 --> 00:15:43,519
this is not I mean, aside from the fraudulent nature

234
00:15:43,519 --> 00:15:45,279
of it, but the idea that you would replicate a

235
00:15:45,320 --> 00:15:50,279
model that generates revenue and wealth for your community, this

236
00:15:50,360 --> 00:15:54,279
is not This is not a new concept people. I

237
00:15:54,320 --> 00:15:58,279
remember I've told this story before. Many years ago. I

238
00:15:58,279 --> 00:16:00,600
went down for a ribbon cutting of a new hotel

239
00:16:00,679 --> 00:16:03,799
or motel in rock Hill. I was working at the

240
00:16:03,840 --> 00:16:06,559
local radio station down in rock Hill, and it was

241
00:16:06,600 --> 00:16:09,559
a chamber event and they were celebrating the opening of

242
00:16:09,559 --> 00:16:13,879
this new motel and I interviewed the owner and he

243
00:16:14,000 --> 00:16:17,240
talked to me. He was from India, and he talked

244
00:16:17,440 --> 00:16:19,720
about how he got started in the business, and he

245
00:16:20,080 --> 00:16:22,600
spelled it all out for me. And there's nothing illegal

246
00:16:22,639 --> 00:16:25,960
about what he and his family did, which was back

247
00:16:25,960 --> 00:16:29,440
home in India, they all gathered their money and they

248
00:16:29,480 --> 00:16:32,600
give it to one person who comes over to America legally.

249
00:16:33,159 --> 00:16:35,879
They then open a business and they then are able

250
00:16:35,919 --> 00:16:40,799
to bring over through our immigration laws, are able to

251
00:16:40,799 --> 00:16:43,039
bring people of their family over. They put them to

252
00:16:43,080 --> 00:16:47,879
work in the motel that generates wealth. They then bring

253
00:16:48,000 --> 00:16:50,679
somebody else over or they give the money to somebody

254
00:16:50,720 --> 00:16:53,759
in their family that's already here and they open another motel.

255
00:16:54,799 --> 00:16:59,279
That's how you build generational wealth for that family. And

256
00:16:59,320 --> 00:17:02,159
that is a It's a model that is used all

257
00:17:02,200 --> 00:17:07,640
over America and by immigrant populations for probably what two

258
00:17:07,759 --> 00:17:14,480
hundred years. I got no problem with that. So the Somalians, Simolians, Somalis,

259
00:17:15,359 --> 00:17:18,960
they have obviously figured out a bit of a different

260
00:17:19,000 --> 00:17:25,720
twist to be sure. Now, this researcher, Guy David, he

261
00:17:25,759 --> 00:17:28,319
had a couple of theories as to why this sort

262
00:17:28,359 --> 00:17:30,960
of thing has exploded in Minnesota.

263
00:17:31,599 --> 00:17:34,319
Speaker 2: What has happened is that the Somali community is a

264
00:17:34,440 --> 00:17:38,440
very closed community. They will not speak to anyone outside

265
00:17:38,480 --> 00:17:41,480
the community and talk about what's going on within the community.

266
00:17:42,240 --> 00:17:45,720
They vote as a block, and so when you're a politician,

267
00:17:45,839 --> 00:17:48,119
you're saying, look, I've got one hundred thousand people in

268
00:17:48,160 --> 00:17:52,440
Minnesota that if I do something for the community, they're

269
00:17:52,440 --> 00:17:54,960
going to vote for me. And that's what it's all about,

270
00:17:55,240 --> 00:17:57,960
is getting the votes. And then the people here in

271
00:17:58,000 --> 00:18:00,559
Minnesota here this term Minnesota, and I I'm so sick

272
00:18:00,599 --> 00:18:03,200
of that term. The people here are so afraid of

273
00:18:03,240 --> 00:18:07,480
being called a racist or an Islamophobe, and they're just

274
00:18:07,559 --> 00:18:10,000
they're afraid of their own shadow. And I don't understand

275
00:18:10,559 --> 00:18:13,480
this is our future generations are going to have to

276
00:18:13,480 --> 00:18:16,640
pay for all this fraud, and they just want to

277
00:18:16,640 --> 00:18:18,440
bury their heads in the sand and go on and

278
00:18:18,480 --> 00:18:19,480
just not worry about it.

279
00:18:20,160 --> 00:18:23,640
Speaker 1: So two of the things that he said there that

280
00:18:23,680 --> 00:18:27,839
the Somali community has closed, they don't speak to outsiders,

281
00:18:27,880 --> 00:18:32,519
and that a lot of the Native Minnesotans are afraid

282
00:18:32,559 --> 00:18:37,319
of being called racist. Ironically or maybe not ironically, to

283
00:18:37,359 --> 00:18:41,039
prove the point, I guess both of those things occurred

284
00:18:41,720 --> 00:18:46,279
in the video. When Nick Shirley went to these places,

285
00:18:47,400 --> 00:18:50,519
he was yelled at, they refused to speak to him.

286
00:18:50,640 --> 00:18:53,359
Those that would actually open a door or come that

287
00:18:54,000 --> 00:18:56,480
would come across his path, refuse to talk to him

288
00:18:56,480 --> 00:18:59,559
about any of it. Nobody knew anything, and then one

289
00:18:59,599 --> 00:19:03,759
woman called them a racist. Basically, so like the very

290
00:19:03,839 --> 00:19:08,400
things that David said would occur did occur, because it

291
00:19:08,440 --> 00:19:11,680
has been occurring. This is how they inoculate themselves against

292
00:19:11,680 --> 00:19:16,279
any kind of criticism or examination or investigation. Apparently, you know.

293

312
00:20:19,599 --> 00:20:22,839
a comment in the last segment about this guy, Nick Shirley.

313
00:20:23,279 --> 00:20:26,400
He's twenty three years old, he's a YouTuber. He is

314
00:20:26,440 --> 00:20:30,400
being identified as an investigative journalist, which is fine. I

315
00:20:30,440 --> 00:20:33,160
don't have any problem with that he is, and I

316
00:20:33,200 --> 00:20:36,160
said he's unpolished. I don't mean that as a smear

317
00:20:36,200 --> 00:20:38,440
against him, but like, there are some things that I

318
00:20:38,480 --> 00:20:41,640
saw in the video that I thought if he had

319
00:20:42,039 --> 00:20:47,000
some training in how to do these types of interviews,

320
00:20:47,799 --> 00:20:51,640
it might it might have yielded some other results. For example,

321
00:20:53,400 --> 00:20:56,480
he goes up to one of these daycares and he

322
00:20:56,559 --> 00:20:58,839
actually gets somebody to answer the door, and he says

323
00:20:58,839 --> 00:21:01,640
he wants to enroll his child child there, Joey Junior

324
00:21:01,759 --> 00:21:04,720
or whatever, little Joey or something, and can he get

325
00:21:04,759 --> 00:21:06,640
some information, can he come and take a look? And

326
00:21:06,680 --> 00:21:08,319
they're like no, no, no, And he's like, well, where

327
00:21:08,519 --> 00:21:10,119
why are there no kids here? Keeping This is a

328
00:21:10,200 --> 00:21:12,079
question He keeps asking at all of the places, where

329
00:21:12,119 --> 00:21:13,759
are the kids? Where are the kids? And I believe

330
00:21:13,799 --> 00:21:17,559
they are a future but that's just me. But the

331
00:21:17,599 --> 00:21:20,960
person at the door, this woman at the door, in

332
00:21:21,039 --> 00:21:23,880
answer to the question, says they're not coming until two o'clock.

333
00:21:25,119 --> 00:21:29,720
The next crowd comes at two. And so what I

334
00:21:29,720 --> 00:21:32,880
would have done, I say, okay, all right, thank you

335
00:21:32,920 --> 00:21:34,920
very much, I appreciate it. Then I would have gone out,

336
00:21:35,400 --> 00:21:38,880
sat in my car and waited until two o'clock and

337
00:21:39,000 --> 00:21:41,640
watched to see if any kids actually do get dropped

338
00:21:41,640 --> 00:21:45,200
off at the daycare, right, because that would confirm that

339
00:21:45,200 --> 00:21:48,359
there are no kids at the daycare. Now, look, I

340
00:21:48,400 --> 00:21:51,599
would be shocked if there are actually kids, hundreds of

341
00:21:51,680 --> 00:21:54,880
kids at all of these daycares that he visited that

342
00:21:54,920 --> 00:21:59,279
have been listed in the report. I don't think there are.

343
00:21:59,400 --> 00:22:03,599
I think it's a it's a fraud. That's my initial

344
00:22:03,839 --> 00:22:06,279
assessment of what I saw him doing. And it's not

345
00:22:06,440 --> 00:22:12,000
just daycares either. It's these home healthcare services that supposedly

346
00:22:12,079 --> 00:22:15,559
send healthcare workers into people's homes or something, and these

347
00:22:15,599 --> 00:22:20,839
transportation companies and when you go when you see the storefronts,

348
00:22:22,240 --> 00:22:25,240
these are places that are like you've in one of

349
00:22:25,240 --> 00:22:31,839
the buildings that he visited, there's like fourteen businesses, these

350
00:22:31,920 --> 00:22:37,359
home healthcare services or providers operating out of one building.

351
00:22:37,839 --> 00:22:43,000
And the building is an industrial warehouse. Right, It's the

352
00:22:43,079 --> 00:22:47,960
kind of place that commercial industrial warehousing type of companies

353
00:22:48,440 --> 00:22:52,440
they'll rent or lease space, you know, in a larger complex.

354
00:22:53,279 --> 00:22:59,759
And you walk down these you know, concrete hallways and

355
00:22:59,799 --> 00:23:03,279
there are you know, a dozen doors, and all of

356
00:23:03,279 --> 00:23:07,599
the doors are for the same kind of business, which

357
00:23:08,000 --> 00:23:12,119
that like, that's usually not a good practice to set

358
00:23:12,160 --> 00:23:15,160
your practice up next to a dozen other practices of

359
00:23:15,200 --> 00:23:17,720
the very same kind. You know, that's probably not a

360
00:23:17,759 --> 00:23:23,119
good idea. Unless you're Starbucks. That's probably not a great idea.

361
00:23:23,240 --> 00:23:25,759
Probably want to be someplace else, go to a different

362
00:23:25,799 --> 00:23:29,039
part of town, service a different clientele, rather than trying

363
00:23:29,079 --> 00:23:32,079
to compete for a very small pool, unless, of course

364
00:23:32,319 --> 00:23:34,599
there are no actual customers.

365
00:23:35,359 --> 00:23:35,519
Speaker 3: Right.

366
00:23:37,319 --> 00:23:40,000
Speaker 1: But this is part of what makes somebody a journalist

367
00:23:40,039 --> 00:23:43,960
is that you actually go and you lay eyes on something.

368
00:23:44,200 --> 00:23:47,400
You don't just hang out in the newsroom reading social media,

369
00:23:48,200 --> 00:23:50,720
making a couple of phone calls and then pounding out

370
00:23:50,759 --> 00:23:55,359
a story for the blog. Right. It's a different kind

371
00:23:55,400 --> 00:24:00,480
of journalism, which this kid was engaged in. I say, kid,

372
00:24:00,480 --> 00:24:03,279
he's twenty three, and he's been doing it for a while.

373
00:24:03,279 --> 00:24:05,400
He's been he has he's been running these types of

374
00:24:06,279 --> 00:24:09,640
videos for a couple of years now. So let me

375
00:24:09,720 --> 00:24:12,640
jump over here and get Craig on the program. Hello Craig,

376
00:24:13,720 --> 00:24:15,079
and Hello Craig.

377
00:24:16,039 --> 00:24:16,240
Speaker 4: Hey.

378
00:24:16,839 --> 00:24:19,400
Speaker 3: Yeah, I don't see how anybody can see this anything

379
00:24:19,440 --> 00:24:24,319
other than just wholesale taxpayer money laundering for Democrat votes.

380
00:24:24,400 --> 00:24:25,759
Speaker 1: It does appear to be what it is.

381
00:24:25,839 --> 00:24:29,000
Speaker 3: Yes, yeah, And I mean that's the way I see.

382
00:24:29,039 --> 00:24:31,720
That's pretty much what most welfare programs are, and ever

383
00:24:31,759 --> 00:24:34,839
since LBJ have been designed for that trict purpose.

384
00:24:35,640 --> 00:24:38,960
Speaker 1: Well, Milton Friedman talked about this in that they were

385
00:24:39,119 --> 00:24:42,640
very He said the only welfare program that he could

386
00:24:42,640 --> 00:24:47,400
identify as actually being for the poor was food stamps.

387
00:24:47,720 --> 00:24:54,519
Everything else was basically a redistribution of wealth from taxpayers

388
00:24:54,599 --> 00:24:59,279
to create a sort of to the middle class, bureaucratic class.

389
00:25:00,119 --> 00:25:03,480
The administrators of these programs.

390
00:25:03,839 --> 00:25:06,319
Speaker 3: Yeah, they so they have a lot of and a

391
00:25:06,319 --> 00:25:08,440
lot of this money that's donated or given us on

392
00:25:08,519 --> 00:25:10,920
for a program doesn't actually even make it to the

393
00:25:11,000 --> 00:25:13,319
end recipient. It just makes it to the large bureaucratic

394
00:25:13,400 --> 00:25:16,400
class of people who just sit on their but all day,

395
00:25:16,480 --> 00:25:17,599
play with owner emails.

396
00:25:17,880 --> 00:25:20,359
Speaker 1: Well, so, right, so you've got the administration. They take

397
00:25:20,359 --> 00:25:23,079
a cut of the taxpayer funding obviously, right, they get

398
00:25:23,079 --> 00:25:25,799
paid their salaries to dole out the money. And in

399
00:25:25,839 --> 00:25:29,720
the past, it was predominantly you know, government programs, right,

400
00:25:29,799 --> 00:25:34,319
actually housed inside the government, and that was a way

401
00:25:34,759 --> 00:25:37,160
for you to hire a bunch of people that would

402
00:25:37,160 --> 00:25:40,240
then vote for you. Then you could give them raises,

403
00:25:40,359 --> 00:25:42,880
they would give you more money, you could win reelection,

404
00:25:43,079 --> 00:25:46,000
raise more money. That sort of cycle, right, that money

405
00:25:46,079 --> 00:25:49,880
laundering kind of cycle. With the advent probably about twenty

406
00:25:50,079 --> 00:25:52,440
twenty five thirty years ago, with a lot of the

407
00:25:52,519 --> 00:25:56,279
public private partnerships where look, government can't do these programs

408
00:25:56,279 --> 00:25:58,720
as well as the private sector, so let's let's do

409
00:25:58,799 --> 00:26:03,279
block grants to nonprofits. And when we started seeing a

410
00:26:03,279 --> 00:26:07,880
lot more of that occur. Now you've got a new model. Well,

411
00:26:08,160 --> 00:26:10,680
you've got a variation of that old model where we're

412
00:26:10,720 --> 00:26:13,599
not going to actually hire government workers. We're just going

413
00:26:13,640 --> 00:26:17,480
to use the NGOs at the international level or the

414
00:26:17,519 --> 00:26:19,759
nonprofits at the national level. We're going to use these

415
00:26:20,079 --> 00:26:24,079
nonprofits to basically run the same cycle, and the Somali's

416
00:26:24,240 --> 00:26:28,119
figured it out right, like they say, well, if you're

417
00:26:28,119 --> 00:26:31,079
going to run these programs, then we're gonna take advantage

418
00:26:31,079 --> 00:26:32,680
of them.

419
00:26:33,160 --> 00:26:35,480
Speaker 3: Oh. I don't expect anybody to face any punishment over

420
00:26:35,519 --> 00:26:38,359
this because it's been operating the way it was intended

421
00:26:38,400 --> 00:26:41,000
to do. So, I don't know. They might, you know,

422
00:26:41,039 --> 00:26:44,440
throw some low level hourly worker under the bus, but

423
00:26:44,480 --> 00:26:45,759
I don't expect anything to change.

424
00:26:45,839 --> 00:26:48,519
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think that if you well, I mean, remember

425
00:26:48,559 --> 00:26:52,000
now you've got the Trump administration's US attorneys that are investigating.

426
00:26:52,680 --> 00:26:55,319
The FBI says they are aware of Nick Shirley's report

427
00:26:55,640 --> 00:26:58,319
and they're investigating. So you may see a bunch of

428
00:26:58,319 --> 00:27:00,920
the providers get taken out. You may see. I think

429
00:27:00,960 --> 00:27:06,119
I just saw actually, you know, immigration Enforcement action targeting

430
00:27:06,160 --> 00:27:09,440
some of these owners and providers and stuff. But right

431
00:27:09,839 --> 00:27:13,200
to your point about like the elected leadership, what did

432
00:27:13,279 --> 00:27:15,759
they know, what role did they play in this stuff?

433
00:27:18,119 --> 00:27:20,799
I'm not confident that any of them will ever face

434
00:27:20,920 --> 00:27:23,599
any kind of punishment, and that's unfortunate because it destroys

435
00:27:23,599 --> 00:27:26,640
credibility and trust in the system. Craig, I appreciate the call,

436
00:27:27,440 --> 00:27:29,519
you know, I don't want to be all blackpilled about this.

437
00:27:30,960 --> 00:27:34,599
We just learned about these things. And you know, the

438
00:27:34,680 --> 00:27:37,680
US Attorney's only been in there for what nine months

439
00:27:37,799 --> 00:27:41,799
or so ten months at the most, so they obviously

440
00:27:41,839 --> 00:27:45,720
have been investigating. They, like I said, mentioned earlier about

441
00:27:45,720 --> 00:27:48,559
the arrest, they made the announcement they made two weeks

442
00:27:48,599 --> 00:27:52,480
ago about the medicaid fraud. So this is just part

443
00:27:52,480 --> 00:27:57,000
and parcel of that. So I got to believe that

444
00:27:57,559 --> 00:28:00,519
they will continue to chase down all of the leads.

445
00:28:00,680 --> 00:28:04,599
Now media can help, and I know, like I think

446
00:28:04,640 --> 00:28:07,359
there's one local maybe two local stations up there that

447
00:28:07,440 --> 00:28:10,119
have done stories. They have done reporting on some of

448
00:28:10,160 --> 00:28:13,359
the fraud over the last few years. This is not

449
00:28:13,440 --> 00:28:18,880
a new issue. It's just now coming to light on

450
00:28:18,920 --> 00:28:22,599
the national stage, which is really really weird. Because the

451
00:28:22,680 --> 00:28:26,319
guy who was in charge of the state was just

452
00:28:26,359 --> 00:28:30,160
the vice presidential candidate. You would have thought that maybe

453
00:28:30,200 --> 00:28:33,240
some reporters might have started digging around into some of

454
00:28:33,279 --> 00:28:36,759
these stories that were already out there about this kind

455
00:28:36,799 --> 00:28:44,359
of fraud. I did get a message here from the

456
00:28:44,440 --> 00:28:47,559
Hellion who says, too many dependent on the system, and

457
00:28:47,599 --> 00:28:52,119
they have all the gatekeepers the media you can run

458
00:28:52,160 --> 00:28:55,000
with frauding. I think it works. Frauding I like it.

459
00:28:55,039 --> 00:29:00,680
The term is frauding. And then I saw somebody said,

460
00:29:00,680 --> 00:29:03,000
it would be interesting, this is Rodney. It would be

461
00:29:03,039 --> 00:29:06,519
interesting if any of these so called learning centers. No, no, Rodney,

462
00:29:06,559 --> 00:29:11,240
they're not learning centers. They're leering centers. I mean, that's

463
00:29:11,279 --> 00:29:15,920
what the sign said above one of the the leering centers.

464
00:29:16,920 --> 00:29:21,640
It's a daycare, after school programs and such to help

465
00:29:21,759 --> 00:29:24,680
kids get educated. And it says it right there l

466
00:29:24,799 --> 00:29:31,160
EA R I NG it's a leering center. It's right

467
00:29:31,200 --> 00:29:34,279
on the sign. And if you can't trust those people

468
00:29:34,319 --> 00:29:38,720
to educate your kid, I don't know who you can trust.

469
00:29:39,880 --> 00:29:41,680
All right, if you're listening to this show, you know

470
00:29:41,759 --> 00:29:43,759
I try to keep up with all sorts of current events,

471
00:29:43,799 --> 00:29:45,880
and I know you do too. And you've probably heard

472
00:29:45,880 --> 00:29:49,960
me say get your news from multiple sources. Why well,

473
00:29:49,960 --> 00:29:52,680
because it's how you detect media bias, which is why

474
00:29:52,720 --> 00:29:55,920
I've been so impressed with ground News. It's an app

475
00:29:56,119 --> 00:29:59,319
and it's a website and it combines news from around

476
00:29:59,359 --> 00:30:01,799
the world in one place, so you can compare coverage

477
00:30:02,039 --> 00:30:04,720
and verify information. You can check it out at check

478
00:30:04,960 --> 00:30:09,200

480
00:30:12,359 --> 00:30:15,079
a few months ago and more recently chose to work

with them as an affiliate because it lets me see

482
00:30:17,200 --> 00:30:21,000

490
00:30:45,119 --> 00:30:49,279
And let's talk to Jerry. Welcome to the program. Hello Jerry.

491
00:30:50,079 --> 00:30:52,440
Speaker 5: Hey Pete. Almost happy in a year. I hope you're

492
00:30:52,440 --> 00:30:53,680
feeling better even better?

493
00:30:54,079 --> 00:30:57,319
Speaker 1: Yes, I am feeling much better than I did last week. Yes,

494
00:30:57,640 --> 00:30:58,039
thank you.

495
00:30:58,079 --> 00:30:58,319
Speaker 5: Good.

496
00:30:59,319 --> 00:30:59,839
Speaker 1: Hey.

497
00:31:00,240 --> 00:31:02,119
Speaker 5: Something that occurred to me because you know, from the

498
00:31:02,319 --> 00:31:04,279
New York area, and we always hear about like Rico

499
00:31:04,440 --> 00:31:10,039
this and Rico that. Wouldn't this fall under the Rico statute.

500
00:31:10,039 --> 00:31:14,519
It's organized, it's been replicated, it's a so broad as documented.

501
00:31:15,200 --> 00:31:16,440
I that was just a thought I.

502
00:31:16,400 --> 00:31:20,519
Speaker 1: Hadn't and yeah it could. I mean I don't know

503
00:31:20,559 --> 00:31:24,160
all of the all of the statutes regarding RICO and

504
00:31:24,279 --> 00:31:26,279
how they apply and how they can be used, but

505
00:31:26,359 --> 00:31:29,559
it would not I mean, my first assumption would be,

506
00:31:29,680 --> 00:31:33,240
I'm sure that, depending on the scale and the people

507
00:31:33,279 --> 00:31:35,880
involved and whether there was coordination, was it done to

508
00:31:36,079 --> 00:31:38,519
you know, cover up a criminal enterprise of a different kind,

509
00:31:39,359 --> 00:31:41,319
which you could make the argument it was because they

510
00:31:41,319 --> 00:31:45,359
were funneling money back to Somalia, uh and that no

511
00:31:45,480 --> 00:31:49,880
money goes through those those financial markets there unless al

512
00:31:49,920 --> 00:31:52,839
Shabab gets a cut, which is a terrorist organization. So

513
00:31:52,960 --> 00:31:55,079
you could, yeah, I mean you could, you could try

514
00:31:55,119 --> 00:31:55,759
to make the case.

515
00:31:58,359 --> 00:31:59,839
Speaker 5: Okay, thanks so much.

516
00:32:00,000 --> 00:32:04,039
Speaker 1: Sure, Yeah, thanks Jerry, I appreciate the call. Happy New Year. Yeah,

517
00:32:04,079 --> 00:32:07,119
I don't know. I don't know if that's what they're

518
00:32:07,119 --> 00:32:09,400
going to try to pursue. They could, depending on the

519
00:32:09,400 --> 00:32:14,720
facts of the individual cases. So we'll see. There was

520
00:32:14,759 --> 00:32:19,279
one daycare in particular that went viral for two reasons

521
00:32:19,319 --> 00:32:22,200
actually one I alluded to before the break and the

522
00:32:22,240 --> 00:32:24,960
other well, here you take a listen.

523
00:32:25,079 --> 00:32:28,759
Speaker 4: So this is quality leering center. I meant to say

524
00:32:28,839 --> 00:32:33,880
quality learning center. Don't open they said they spelt learning wrong.

525
00:32:34,079 --> 00:32:35,160
Don't open up?

526
00:32:35,359 --> 00:32:36,400
Speaker 1: How do you have ice here, ma'am.

527
00:32:36,440 --> 00:32:37,440
Speaker 4: I'm literally a YouTuber.

528
00:32:37,640 --> 00:32:38,880
Speaker 1: Don't open up, ma'am.

529
00:32:38,880 --> 00:32:40,400
Speaker 4: What do you think about the fraud that's taking place

530
00:32:40,400 --> 00:32:41,160
here in Minnesota?

531
00:32:41,279 --> 00:32:42,480
Speaker 2: Don't open up?

532
00:32:42,759 --> 00:32:44,599
Speaker 1: We have eyes man.

533
00:32:44,640 --> 00:32:46,640
Speaker 2: What do you think about this place being licensed for

534
00:32:46,720 --> 00:32:47,720
ninety nine children?

535
00:32:48,119 --> 00:32:49,359
Speaker 1: Don't open up.

536
00:32:49,400 --> 00:32:53,680
Speaker 2: And getting four million dollars over them, four million dollars

537
00:32:53,720 --> 00:32:56,720
in the last two years. What do you think about that?

538
00:32:57,400 --> 00:32:59,759
Are you in favor? Are you in favor of that

539
00:33:00,559 --> 00:33:01,200
go away?

540
00:33:01,480 --> 00:33:03,880
Speaker 1: No, we're not welcome here, kamni.

541
00:33:04,119 --> 00:33:07,759
Speaker 4: Are you in favor of one point nine million dollars

542
00:33:07,799 --> 00:33:12,880
going illegally frauduly to this business that has quality learning center?

543
00:33:12,880 --> 00:33:14,039
But Kenny is still learning right.

544
00:33:13,960 --> 00:33:17,200
Speaker 1: On the door. Don't open up, ma'am.

545
00:33:17,400 --> 00:33:18,440
Speaker 4: We are not ice.

546
00:33:20,559 --> 00:33:24,160
Speaker 1: Now. Maybe she was talking about all of the snow

547
00:33:24,240 --> 00:33:27,359
and ice that was on the ground in the parking

548
00:33:27,359 --> 00:33:33,079
lots where no little children's footprints could be seen. Maybe,

549
00:33:34,079 --> 00:33:36,519
but I think she was talking about immigration customs enforcement.

550
00:33:38,000 --> 00:33:40,519
Oh and by the way, that woman was not a

551
00:33:40,680 --> 00:33:44,640
Somali woman. It was an older white woman with a

552
00:33:44,680 --> 00:33:50,400
galactic sized bleeding heart with immeasurable amounts of empathy because

553
00:33:50,440 --> 00:33:55,000
she's obviously better than you. Okay, that's that's the message.

554
00:33:55,720 --> 00:33:59,920
She cares more than you. She's Minnesota nicer than you.

555
00:34:00,839 --> 00:34:04,279
She wants the people in the building who are here illegally,

556
00:34:04,400 --> 00:34:07,519
maybe committing millions of dollars worth of fraud, to not

557
00:34:07,640 --> 00:34:10,880
open the door because they could face some sort of

558
00:34:11,239 --> 00:34:18,360
repercussion for their illegal activities, because she cares more than

559
00:34:18,400 --> 00:34:23,559
you care. She cares about people, even the ones that

560
00:34:23,599 --> 00:34:29,159
are committing massive fraud. See that the two reasons, the

561
00:34:29,480 --> 00:34:34,559
Quality Leering Center sign on above the door, and then

562
00:34:34,599 --> 00:34:39,679
obviously this leftist moonbat that's out front accusing Nick Shirley

563
00:34:39,719 --> 00:34:48,559
of being ice. Some of these daycares were in these

564
00:34:48,599 --> 00:34:54,800
like industrial commercial warehouse buildings. They had no visible amenities

565
00:34:54,840 --> 00:34:59,840
for kids, no playgrounds right, no outdoor spaces. They were

566
00:35:01,559 --> 00:35:05,880
door maybe a window in like this big concrete block

567
00:35:05,960 --> 00:35:09,639
building in a you know, in like a warehouse district,

568
00:35:10,840 --> 00:35:16,679
and the windows at many of the places that they

569
00:35:16,679 --> 00:35:18,519
went to, if not I think every one of them,

570
00:35:18,599 --> 00:35:20,840
there was one. I think there was one building that

571
00:35:20,920 --> 00:35:23,199
had a window that you could kind of look through

572
00:35:23,239 --> 00:35:25,000
on the side. It was like a slat, like a

573
00:35:25,119 --> 00:35:28,519
very thin window next to the door. But all the

574
00:35:28,559 --> 00:35:32,599
other windows, if a building even had windows. All the

575
00:35:32,639 --> 00:35:37,559
other windows were blacked out again, Like there's a template, right,

576
00:35:38,719 --> 00:35:41,039
Like when you set up this fraudulent business, this is

577
00:35:41,039 --> 00:35:43,000
what you need to do. You need to hang a sign,

578
00:35:43,440 --> 00:35:46,239
you need to block out the windows if you have

579
00:35:46,320 --> 00:35:50,519
any right, and then you need to keep the doors locked,

580
00:35:50,639 --> 00:35:53,320
which was also kind of a weird thing, but like

581
00:35:54,239 --> 00:35:56,639
do you keep the doors closed at the daycare center

582
00:35:56,719 --> 00:36:00,559
because you know you don't want intruders to add access it?

583
00:36:00,639 --> 00:36:02,880
Like I could understand why you would lock the doors

584
00:36:03,599 --> 00:36:06,559
of a daycare center to protect the kids inside, So

585
00:36:06,599 --> 00:36:09,079
that makes sense. But if somebody comes to the door,

586
00:36:09,599 --> 00:36:11,679
which this is another thing that I would have done differently.

587
00:36:11,719 --> 00:36:15,519
I would have gone in alone or maybe brought a

588
00:36:15,639 --> 00:36:18,360
child with me and said I would like to enroll

589
00:36:18,400 --> 00:36:21,320
my kid in your daycare. But when you show up

590
00:36:21,320 --> 00:36:25,559
with a camera, guy that's the daycare operator is not

591
00:36:25,639 --> 00:36:26,400
going to let you in.

592
00:36:26,800 --> 00:36:27,000
Speaker 4: Right.

593
00:36:27,880 --> 00:36:31,079
Speaker 1: In fact, they called the cops on him. Two different

594
00:36:31,079 --> 00:36:34,760
people at two different places called the police to have

595
00:36:34,880 --> 00:36:39,599
Nick Shirley removed for trespassing because it was private property,

596
00:36:39,880 --> 00:36:41,840
and that is their right to do that. They can

597
00:36:41,880 --> 00:36:44,000
call people, They call the cops to get people off

598
00:36:44,000 --> 00:36:50,239
of their property. They can totally do that. The other thing, though,

599
00:36:50,280 --> 00:36:54,079
is that it is not just about the daycares. It's

600
00:36:54,119 --> 00:36:58,239
not just about the kids. Multiple storefronts for adult healthcare

601
00:36:58,280 --> 00:37:02,119
companies were in the same offices buildings in industrial areas.

602
00:37:02,519 --> 00:37:06,880
One building had fourteen companies in one building, another had

603
00:37:07,360 --> 00:37:07,920
twenty two.

604
00:37:08,559 --> 00:37:12,239
Speaker 4: We want healthcare, yes, we'd like to speak about getting

605
00:37:12,280 --> 00:37:13,119
healthcare here? No?

606
00:37:13,119 --> 00:37:15,840
Speaker 1: No, no, Why can't I get health care here? Wait?

607
00:37:15,880 --> 00:37:19,760
Speaker 4: Wait, warning, you are under video surveillance and no trespassing

608
00:37:19,760 --> 00:37:27,719
security armed. This is the strangest place I've ever been

609
00:37:27,800 --> 00:37:34,280
to get healthcare. Just a bunch of different places. Healthcare here,

610
00:37:34,719 --> 00:37:40,760
healthcare here, another healthcare company right here. There are three

611
00:37:40,880 --> 00:37:44,000
healthcare companies inside of this building, right here in this

612
00:37:44,079 --> 00:37:48,159
room of seven c Now we have another Helping Hands

613
00:37:48,800 --> 00:37:53,400
Homecare LLC, another healthcare company present help right here. We're

614
00:37:53,400 --> 00:37:55,559
looking for the best rates of healthcare here inside this

615
00:37:55,599 --> 00:37:57,519
building because we have so many options. Who can we

616
00:37:57,559 --> 00:37:58,960
talk about getting the best healthcare?

617
00:37:59,079 --> 00:37:59,880
Speaker 1: I don't know?

618
00:38:00,719 --> 00:38:05,679
Speaker 4: No, all right, we will not get any health care here, David.

619
00:38:05,719 --> 00:38:09,639
This is one of the stranger places I've ever been. Literally,

620
00:38:09,960 --> 00:38:12,599
healthcare every door you go to, yet nobody will give

621
00:38:12,599 --> 00:38:13,159
you a rate.

622
00:38:13,880 --> 00:38:19,719
Speaker 1: Isn't that weird? Do you want my business or is

623
00:38:19,800 --> 00:38:25,360
it I'm not the customer, right, You don't need a customer,

624
00:38:25,400 --> 00:38:28,760
You don't need me as a customer because your business

625
00:38:28,800 --> 00:38:32,639
is something else. This is what we would call a front.

626
00:38:33,639 --> 00:38:37,239
This is a front for something else. You're doing something

627
00:38:37,280 --> 00:38:45,440
else through this business that would actually be detrimental if

628
00:38:45,519 --> 00:38:49,159
you had customers, right, it would be working at cross

629
00:38:49,199 --> 00:38:54,039
purposes bringing people in. And one daycare provider said that

630
00:38:54,320 --> 00:38:59,639
this is not the daycare for you, which I think

631
00:38:59,719 --> 00:39:01,559
was a reference to the fact that he's not Somali.

632
00:39:04,000 --> 00:39:10,280
These businesses, by the way, the particularly the adult healthcare

633
00:39:10,320 --> 00:39:14,800
providers quote unquote providers, they are served if you will,

634
00:39:15,599 --> 00:39:21,840
by the transportation companies, which also don't actually do anything.

635
00:39:22,559 --> 00:39:25,960
See like one of the transportation companies they drove by,

636
00:39:26,360 --> 00:39:29,079
they had all of their vans that were parked in

637
00:39:29,119 --> 00:39:32,360
their parking lot and it had snowed, which was why

638
00:39:32,360 --> 00:39:35,920
that woman was screaming ice issome, and none of the

639
00:39:36,079 --> 00:39:39,039
vehicles could be moved because they were all buried in snow.

640
00:39:39,880 --> 00:39:42,639
So they're not actually doing a lot of transporting of people.

641
00:39:42,880 --> 00:39:47,400
And this is during normal business hours on a weekday. Again,

642
00:39:47,679 --> 00:39:49,440
there is a word for this kind of an operation.

643
00:39:49,519 --> 00:39:52,840
It's called a front all right. That'll do it for

644
00:39:52,920 --> 00:39:55,559
this episode. Thank you so much for listening. I could

645
00:39:55,559 --> 00:39:57,840
