1
00:00:00.160 --> 00:00:01.639
<v Speaker 1>Oh that's are.

2
00:00:45.280 --> 00:00:49.399
<v Speaker 2>Hello, and welcome to the show. This is the Cult

3
00:00:49.600 --> 00:00:53.039
<v Speaker 2>of Conspiracy, and I am the Cage to Night. I'm

4
00:00:53.079 --> 00:00:56.240
<v Speaker 2>Raven and I don't know who's we're paying attention to

5
00:00:56.280 --> 00:00:59.240
<v Speaker 2>the news here lately, but oh my goodness, there is

6
00:00:59.280 --> 00:01:02.600
<v Speaker 2>some wildness that's going on in good old Minnesota aka

7
00:01:02.759 --> 00:01:05.680
<v Speaker 2>South Canada. I gotta be honest with you. I didn't

8
00:01:05.719 --> 00:01:11.719
<v Speaker 2>realize they had such a Somalian influx in that particular state.

9
00:01:11.879 --> 00:01:12.959
<v Speaker 2>It makes no sense to me.

10
00:01:13.319 --> 00:01:15.760
<v Speaker 1>Out wow, I had no idea either. And then the

11
00:01:15.799 --> 00:01:18.959
<v Speaker 1>cult member that came on telling us about him actually

12
00:01:19.040 --> 00:01:22.400
<v Speaker 1>going into the homes and being with all these people

13
00:01:22.480 --> 00:01:25.239
<v Speaker 1>and seeing this all firsthand, I definitely didn't know that

14
00:01:25.239 --> 00:01:27.920
<v Speaker 1>they were all there, to be honest with you, of all.

15
00:01:27.760 --> 00:01:31.239
<v Speaker 2>Places, right, and I understand why America took in some

16
00:01:31.319 --> 00:01:35.120
<v Speaker 2>Somalian refugees even back into the early nineteen nineties. If

17
00:01:35.120 --> 00:01:37.359
<v Speaker 2>anybody has ever seen the movie Black Hawk Down that

18
00:01:37.480 --> 00:01:39.560
<v Speaker 2>took place there, there was a group of them that

19
00:01:39.599 --> 00:01:41.000
<v Speaker 2>needed to get out of there because it was a

20
00:01:41.040 --> 00:01:43.959
<v Speaker 2>horrible situation. I have sympathy for this, and I could

21
00:01:44.000 --> 00:01:45.879
<v Speaker 2>understand that it was supposed to be temporary. But we'll

22
00:01:45.879 --> 00:01:48.120
<v Speaker 2>get to that here in a moment. But of all

23
00:01:48.159 --> 00:01:51.920
<v Speaker 2>the places in America that you would settle, like.

24
00:01:51.920 --> 00:01:56.239
<v Speaker 1>Somalia's take so cold place, like such a cold place comparison.

25
00:01:56.280 --> 00:01:57.400
<v Speaker 1>I don't understand it.

26
00:01:57.400 --> 00:02:00.840
<v Speaker 2>It's a desert. It's a hot ass day desert. Why

27
00:02:00.920 --> 00:02:03.239
<v Speaker 2>whenever they got to America, were they thinking, bro, we're

28
00:02:03.239 --> 00:02:06.439
<v Speaker 2>gonna go to the great White North of Minnesota, Like

29
00:02:06.680 --> 00:02:08.159
<v Speaker 2>of all the like, why wouldn't you go to like

30
00:02:08.199 --> 00:02:10.599
<v Speaker 2>maybe Arizona or.

31
00:02:11.360 --> 00:02:13.960
<v Speaker 1>I have no idea. Maybe they just I think they

32
00:02:14.000 --> 00:02:17.599
<v Speaker 1>were honestly put there, like they were through the organization.

33
00:02:17.759 --> 00:02:21.639
<v Speaker 1>That's where they place them. I'm not one hundred percent certain,

34
00:02:21.759 --> 00:02:23.639
<v Speaker 1>but I think, like later on we might read about it,

35
00:02:23.680 --> 00:02:25.680
<v Speaker 1>but I think they might have just put them there instead,

36
00:02:26.080 --> 00:02:28.039
<v Speaker 1>because I don't think they would just voluntarily be like,

37
00:02:28.120 --> 00:02:30.520
<v Speaker 1>you know what, let's go to the super snow.

38
00:02:30.800 --> 00:02:33.599
<v Speaker 2>I mean, I don't know. Maybe these Somalians actually, as

39
00:02:33.639 --> 00:02:36.240
<v Speaker 2>soon as they got to, you know, a land with freedom,

40
00:02:36.280 --> 00:02:39.280
<v Speaker 2>they're just like, dude, screw the desert. It is so

41
00:02:39.439 --> 00:02:41.919
<v Speaker 2>hot and there's so much sand. We want to go

42
00:02:42.240 --> 00:02:46.319
<v Speaker 2>where there's eight feet snow blizzards every winter. That sounds

43
00:02:46.319 --> 00:02:48.919
<v Speaker 2>like a better choice for us. I don't know, and

44
00:02:48.960 --> 00:02:51.000
<v Speaker 2>I'm not judging. I know we have some good cult

45
00:02:51.000 --> 00:02:53.479
<v Speaker 2>members that live in good old Minnesota, and you know,

46
00:02:53.639 --> 00:02:56.280
<v Speaker 2>much love to you all. I being the Louisiana boy,

47
00:02:56.479 --> 00:02:59.360
<v Speaker 2>would rather die than go to a place with that

48
00:02:59.479 --> 00:03:01.960
<v Speaker 2>kind of snow drifts. But like I know that some

49
00:03:02.000 --> 00:03:04.199
<v Speaker 2>people find it charming, and that's fine.

50
00:03:04.439 --> 00:03:06.879
<v Speaker 1>Like snow, I do you like snow? I don't like

51
00:03:07.479 --> 00:03:10.240
<v Speaker 1>that much snow Like I like snow for a while

52
00:03:10.719 --> 00:03:11.840
<v Speaker 1>and then they can take it back.

53
00:03:12.360 --> 00:03:15.560
<v Speaker 2>How much snow realistically in your neck of the woods

54
00:03:15.599 --> 00:03:18.719
<v Speaker 2>and Oregan, how many inches slash feed of snow do

55
00:03:18.759 --> 00:03:20.840
<v Speaker 2>you get on an average year if you had to

56
00:03:20.879 --> 00:03:21.400
<v Speaker 2>ballpark it.

57
00:03:22.120 --> 00:03:25.000
<v Speaker 1>I honestly don't know the average because the last I

58
00:03:25.039 --> 00:03:28.240
<v Speaker 1>would say, the last six years, it has been wild

59
00:03:28.319 --> 00:03:32.599
<v Speaker 1>times up there, like with snow happening a whole bunch

60
00:03:33.039 --> 00:03:35.240
<v Speaker 1>out of nowhere, and then no snow happening and it

61
00:03:35.319 --> 00:03:38.960
<v Speaker 1>being super hot in the mountain melting, you know, global

62
00:03:39.000 --> 00:03:40.599
<v Speaker 1>warming situation.

63
00:03:41.080 --> 00:03:44.759
<v Speaker 2>Right totally but okay, so, but it does in fact

64
00:03:44.759 --> 00:03:47.800
<v Speaker 2>snow every year, like that's without fail. There's gonna be

65
00:03:47.800 --> 00:03:50.439
<v Speaker 2>snow every winter give or take there there.

66
00:03:50.560 --> 00:03:52.639
<v Speaker 1>I think it was last year or the year before,

67
00:03:52.800 --> 00:03:55.560
<v Speaker 1>I forget it. Didn't snow pretty much at all. There

68
00:03:55.639 --> 00:03:57.719
<v Speaker 1>was like a little bit that happened and then it

69
00:03:57.800 --> 00:03:59.919
<v Speaker 1>hit all at once and for like a week it snowed,

70
00:04:00.400 --> 00:04:03.120
<v Speaker 1>but typically it normally snows. Like I used to have

71
00:04:03.199 --> 00:04:05.759
<v Speaker 1>the app where you'd call every morning. There was like

72
00:04:05.800 --> 00:04:08.039
<v Speaker 1>a certain number like a you know, six seven and

73
00:04:08.159 --> 00:04:14.360
<v Speaker 1>something like number that six, but they they would tell

74
00:04:14.400 --> 00:04:16.319
<v Speaker 1>you the weather app on the mountain if the snow

75
00:04:16.399 --> 00:04:20.480
<v Speaker 1>is open, which which runs were open, which lifts were open,

76
00:04:20.959 --> 00:04:23.360
<v Speaker 1>you know, which camps were open, and like how far

77
00:04:23.439 --> 00:04:26.959
<v Speaker 1>down the snow went and stuff. And I remember calling that, like,

78
00:04:27.000 --> 00:04:28.920
<v Speaker 1>you know, checking can I go snowboard? And yet? Can

79
00:04:28.959 --> 00:04:31.839
<v Speaker 1>I go snowboard? Yet? I don't even know if that,

80
00:04:32.079 --> 00:04:34.920
<v Speaker 1>first of all, if is still running. But it's definitely

81
00:04:34.959 --> 00:04:37.519
<v Speaker 1>crazy because I thought I would have like a white

82
00:04:37.560 --> 00:04:40.519
<v Speaker 1>Christmas and it's not been. A vibe really got you.

83
00:04:41.480 --> 00:04:43.839
<v Speaker 1>I mean, the weather's changing, and I mean it's even

84
00:04:43.879 --> 00:04:47.120
<v Speaker 1>hotter down here right now than it normally is not tonight,

85
00:04:47.160 --> 00:04:49.680
<v Speaker 1>because it's supposed to get in the thirties tonight, but it.

86
00:04:49.639 --> 00:04:53.639
<v Speaker 2>Depends year to year. I remember was it three halloweens

87
00:04:53.680 --> 00:04:57.360
<v Speaker 2>ago it was damn near freezing. Yeah, like right thirty

88
00:04:57.480 --> 00:05:02.120
<v Speaker 2>nine degrees, give or take a freezing hole. Meanwhile, you know,

89
00:05:02.240 --> 00:05:05.439
<v Speaker 2>I've also had halloweens where if you if your costume

90
00:05:05.480 --> 00:05:09.360
<v Speaker 2>had sleeves, you were screwed. It runs the gambit in Louisiana.

91
00:05:09.439 --> 00:05:11.000
<v Speaker 2>So I know that we can't be used as a

92
00:05:11.040 --> 00:05:13.399
<v Speaker 2>litmus test for the rest.

93
00:05:13.240 --> 00:05:15.920
<v Speaker 1>That Louisiana's crazy think when it comes to weather.

94
00:05:16.079 --> 00:05:18.600
<v Speaker 2>So, but this being said, it still made no sense

95
00:05:18.639 --> 00:05:21.839
<v Speaker 2>to me whenever I found out that they all pretty

96
00:05:21.879 --> 00:05:25.519
<v Speaker 2>much convalesced in Minnesota. I'm not judging. I just it

97
00:05:25.519 --> 00:05:27.120
<v Speaker 2>didn't make sense. But either way it goes.

98
00:05:27.160 --> 00:05:29.040
<v Speaker 1>It has to be the program that brought them here.

99
00:05:29.439 --> 00:05:31.240
<v Speaker 2>We're going to read more about it, for sure. But

100
00:05:31.319 --> 00:05:34.439
<v Speaker 2>then these people didn't just get here and decide to

101
00:05:34.680 --> 00:05:38.399
<v Speaker 2>put down roots and set up shop and try to

102
00:05:38.800 --> 00:05:42.600
<v Speaker 2>you know, put in generational wealth into their community. They

103
00:05:42.600 --> 00:05:45.639
<v Speaker 2>decided that they also wanted to run for local politics

104
00:05:46.120 --> 00:05:50.399
<v Speaker 2>and federal politics, which on the onset I don't inherently

105
00:05:50.399 --> 00:05:52.879
<v Speaker 2>have a problem with. The thing I have a problem

106
00:05:52.959 --> 00:05:55.600
<v Speaker 2>with is whenever they came in and they decided to

107
00:05:55.600 --> 00:05:59.319
<v Speaker 2>try to make it more Somali in their legislation and

108
00:05:59.399 --> 00:06:01.240
<v Speaker 2>in their culture and all these things. And it's like

109
00:06:01.839 --> 00:06:04.240
<v Speaker 2>my brother. If you it was so great in Somali,

110
00:06:04.360 --> 00:06:06.040
<v Speaker 2>you'd still be there. You know.

111
00:06:06.199 --> 00:06:10.040
<v Speaker 1>Animulation is a real thing, Like they're holding true to

112
00:06:10.160 --> 00:06:13.439
<v Speaker 1>your culture and your roots and sharing that tradition those

113
00:06:13.519 --> 00:06:16.160
<v Speaker 1>kind of things is very important. Yes, but also when

114
00:06:16.160 --> 00:06:18.920
<v Speaker 1>you're moving into a country, you don't want to make

115
00:06:18.920 --> 00:06:21.879
<v Speaker 1>it the country that you just came from. You want

116
00:06:21.920 --> 00:06:24.839
<v Speaker 1>to still assimilate in some ways and not try to

117
00:06:24.879 --> 00:06:28.040
<v Speaker 1>shove your culture onto the culture that you're walking into.

118
00:06:28.480 --> 00:06:31.040
<v Speaker 1>It's a very fine balance. But did you know that

119
00:06:31.079 --> 00:06:34.399
<v Speaker 1>there is a large population of Smolians in Ohio it's

120
00:06:34.439 --> 00:06:35.800
<v Speaker 1>the second largest population.

121
00:06:36.399 --> 00:06:39.800
<v Speaker 2>Again why Like, first of all, again no shade thrown

122
00:06:39.879 --> 00:06:44.160
<v Speaker 2>to any good Ohio and you know cult members who

123
00:06:44.319 --> 00:06:48.439
<v Speaker 2>wants to live there. The entire state smells like a

124
00:06:48.480 --> 00:06:52.120
<v Speaker 2>cowfield because most of these state is in fact a cowfield.

125
00:06:52.279 --> 00:06:55.839
<v Speaker 2>So like, I know so many people from Ohio and

126
00:06:55.879 --> 00:06:58.879
<v Speaker 2>that the first opportunity got that got the fuck out

127
00:06:58.920 --> 00:07:03.720
<v Speaker 2>of there. It's like being from Vermont, Like mt is gorgeous.

128
00:07:03.959 --> 00:07:07.480
<v Speaker 2>Yeah it's gorgeous to look at, no sure, but like

129
00:07:07.959 --> 00:07:11.040
<v Speaker 2>there's no industry, there's no opportunity, there's no real reason

130
00:07:11.040 --> 00:07:12.920
<v Speaker 2>to try to like raise a family there unless you

131
00:07:12.920 --> 00:07:16.319
<v Speaker 2>have familiar ties. Most everybody I knew from the Marine

132
00:07:16.360 --> 00:07:19.879
<v Speaker 2>Corps that were from Vermont had no intentions of ever

133
00:07:19.959 --> 00:07:22.399
<v Speaker 2>going home again until like Christmas, and that was it.

134
00:07:22.439 --> 00:07:24.360
<v Speaker 2>And then they're getting a fuck back to a place

135
00:07:24.399 --> 00:07:28.360
<v Speaker 2>with business. I don't know, but whatever I didn't know.

136
00:07:28.519 --> 00:07:32.079
<v Speaker 2>Ohio also had such a large population of Somali nationals.

137
00:07:32.160 --> 00:07:34.720
<v Speaker 1>We I mean, it's like forty thousand May we're between

138
00:07:34.720 --> 00:07:35.800
<v Speaker 1>thirty to forty thousand.

139
00:07:36.040 --> 00:07:39.600
<v Speaker 2>That's wild. Again, very different from Somalia.

140
00:07:41.360 --> 00:07:43.800
<v Speaker 1>It was very different. But they actually had a couple

141
00:07:43.800 --> 00:07:46.879
<v Speaker 1>of programs that were in place. I can't remember the

142
00:07:46.920 --> 00:07:49.360
<v Speaker 1>exact name of it. Pretty much one of the main

143
00:07:49.399 --> 00:07:51.959
<v Speaker 1>programs they've had for the last like three decades or

144
00:07:51.959 --> 00:07:55.519
<v Speaker 1>two decades at least was this program where they would

145
00:07:55.560 --> 00:07:59.319
<v Speaker 1>get enrichment here. They would go to school, trade schools,

146
00:07:59.439 --> 00:08:01.480
<v Speaker 1>learn all this, and then they would go back to

147
00:08:01.519 --> 00:08:05.480
<v Speaker 1>Somalia to teach there and to actually help build the

148
00:08:05.480 --> 00:08:08.079
<v Speaker 1>infrastructure there and do all of these things. And it

149
00:08:08.160 --> 00:08:10.720
<v Speaker 1>was really interesting the program. When I was reading through it, it

150
00:08:10.720 --> 00:08:13.560
<v Speaker 1>starts with a M. It's like make something I forget, but.

151
00:08:13.639 --> 00:08:14.800
<v Speaker 2>Make Somalia great again.

152
00:08:17.639 --> 00:08:20.480
<v Speaker 1>It was good. It was really a good initiative, and

153
00:08:20.560 --> 00:08:24.279
<v Speaker 1>they tried to bring that back, and there's been a

154
00:08:24.279 --> 00:08:27.639
<v Speaker 1>lot of people that have actually lived here and then

155
00:08:27.759 --> 00:08:30.800
<v Speaker 1>gone back to Somalia to make it better and try

156
00:08:30.879 --> 00:08:34.080
<v Speaker 1>to gain a footing there and try to bring education

157
00:08:34.480 --> 00:08:38.159
<v Speaker 1>and agriculture and all these different things. The problem is

158
00:08:38.159 --> 00:08:41.759
<v Speaker 1>is a terrorists and the constant fighting and everything like

159
00:08:41.799 --> 00:08:44.559
<v Speaker 1>that has pretty much demolished that entire place.

160
00:08:45.639 --> 00:08:48.440
<v Speaker 2>Again, I don't have a problem with people coming to

161
00:08:48.480 --> 00:08:53.440
<v Speaker 2>America on work visas or student visas, getting training, getting

162
00:08:53.559 --> 00:08:56.360
<v Speaker 2>job experience, getting whatever they need, and then bringing that

163
00:08:56.480 --> 00:08:59.120
<v Speaker 2>knowledge back to their home country to elevate their country

164
00:08:59.120 --> 00:09:00.879
<v Speaker 2>as a whole. That's wonderful.

165
00:09:01.159 --> 00:09:03.000
<v Speaker 1>Honestly, it's a pretty cool program.

166
00:09:03.080 --> 00:09:04.679
<v Speaker 2>I know a lot of Americans that actually have an

167
00:09:04.720 --> 00:09:07.200
<v Speaker 2>issue with this. They see it as like, well, I

168
00:09:07.200 --> 00:09:08.159
<v Speaker 2>don't understand.

169
00:09:08.240 --> 00:09:12.240
<v Speaker 1>To go abroad for programs. One of my girlfriends, her

170
00:09:12.320 --> 00:09:15.759
<v Speaker 1>kids just got into the Scotland program for about like

171
00:09:15.840 --> 00:09:18.879
<v Speaker 1>four years. I actually applied for the nursing program for

172
00:09:19.200 --> 00:09:21.799
<v Speaker 1>Scotland when I was heading out of the Marine Corps.

173
00:09:21.840 --> 00:09:23.840
<v Speaker 1>That was one of my top places I wanted to go,

174
00:09:24.360 --> 00:09:26.960
<v Speaker 1>and then life kind of changed and took directions. But

175
00:09:27.600 --> 00:09:29.799
<v Speaker 1>that's actually where I was going to go to study abroad.

176
00:09:29.840 --> 00:09:33.039
<v Speaker 1>There's beautiful programs to mix cultures and to learn about

177
00:09:33.080 --> 00:09:35.840
<v Speaker 1>each other, and I think it's really important for people

178
00:09:35.879 --> 00:09:39.600
<v Speaker 1>to do that. Sure that being said, when you're coming

179
00:09:39.679 --> 00:09:43.960
<v Speaker 1>and forcing your religious ideology and your political ideology into

180
00:09:44.000 --> 00:09:46.320
<v Speaker 1>a country that's already established with their own culture and

181
00:09:46.360 --> 00:09:50.279
<v Speaker 1>their own ideals, that's not okay. And you don't need

182
00:09:50.320 --> 00:09:55.360
<v Speaker 1>to be forcing that upon if your country was if

183
00:09:55.440 --> 00:09:58.240
<v Speaker 1>you like the way your country was being ran, then

184
00:09:58.399 --> 00:10:02.000
<v Speaker 1>you would go back home to that country. The problem

185
00:10:02.080 --> 00:10:06.000
<v Speaker 1>is is their country is an absolute chaos, and then

186
00:10:06.080 --> 00:10:09.799
<v Speaker 1>we have issues the funding that's supposed to be going

187
00:10:10.240 --> 00:10:14.360
<v Speaker 1>to their country right now to help millions upon millions

188
00:10:14.399 --> 00:10:16.360
<v Speaker 1>of them that are starving to death, that are dying

189
00:10:16.399 --> 00:10:20.320
<v Speaker 1>and everything else, it's now being directed towards terrorist groups.

190
00:10:20.600 --> 00:10:22.840
<v Speaker 1>Oh it's what we came here to talk about today, y'all.

191
00:10:22.879 --> 00:10:24.639
<v Speaker 2>We have, indeed, we have, indeed we're going to be

192
00:10:24.679 --> 00:10:30.080
<v Speaker 2>talking about the feed our future charade. And I'm being

193
00:10:30.559 --> 00:10:33.320
<v Speaker 2>as clean and nice as I can with calling it.

194
00:10:33.320 --> 00:10:36.840
<v Speaker 2>It is an absolute fraud scandal, top to bottom, honestly.

195
00:10:37.480 --> 00:10:40.279
<v Speaker 2>But it's not even just that. Come to find out,

196
00:10:40.440 --> 00:10:44.600
<v Speaker 2>a lot of the federal funding remember USAID and DOGE

197
00:10:44.600 --> 00:10:46.360
<v Speaker 2>found all of these things where money was just being

198
00:10:46.399 --> 00:10:49.600
<v Speaker 2>sent to these countries for no reason. America has been

199
00:10:49.639 --> 00:10:55.799
<v Speaker 2>sending Somalia more funding than the nation's entire GDP four

200
00:10:55.879 --> 00:10:58.559
<v Speaker 2>years now, and that hasn't even been going to fund

201
00:10:58.600 --> 00:11:00.120
<v Speaker 2>till well, some of it I'm sure has gone to

202
00:11:00.120 --> 00:11:03.600
<v Speaker 2>fund terrorist groups. Most of us just been enriching people,

203
00:11:03.759 --> 00:11:09.720
<v Speaker 2>buying luxury suits, buying nice houses, buying Bentley's. Who the

204
00:11:09.799 --> 00:11:12.799
<v Speaker 2>fuck is driving a Bentley in Somalia? That's how you

205
00:11:12.840 --> 00:11:15.159
<v Speaker 2>get got like, that's how you stand.

206
00:11:14.879 --> 00:11:17.840
<v Speaker 1>Out considering what's been happening with their country for the

207
00:11:17.879 --> 00:11:21.559
<v Speaker 1>last several years, and how many people are displaced, and

208
00:11:21.639 --> 00:11:26.360
<v Speaker 1>how much starvation malnourishment. They have the highest mountinnourishment in

209
00:11:26.399 --> 00:11:30.240
<v Speaker 1>the world right now, they do the children's the amount

210
00:11:30.279 --> 00:11:33.559
<v Speaker 1>of children is like well exceeding into a million kids,

211
00:11:34.240 --> 00:11:36.399
<v Speaker 1>and like they're so in. Every one of them is

212
00:11:36.679 --> 00:11:40.679
<v Speaker 1>max critical on how they list. It's the most acute

213
00:11:40.679 --> 00:11:43.559
<v Speaker 1>critical status that they could be on. That means that

214
00:11:43.559 --> 00:11:47.039
<v Speaker 1>they're on the verge of dying, right And yet somehow

215
00:11:47.559 --> 00:11:50.919
<v Speaker 1>this money that's supposed to be going to these organizations

216
00:11:50.960 --> 00:11:53.879
<v Speaker 1>are the healthcare one. I looked all into the funding

217
00:11:53.960 --> 00:11:58.320
<v Speaker 1>for that specific situation that's happening. Their funding has gotten

218
00:11:58.360 --> 00:12:01.639
<v Speaker 1>cut seventy percent in the last two years because they

219
00:12:01.679 --> 00:12:04.360
<v Speaker 1>just don't know where the money's going. The money's just disappearing.

220
00:12:04.720 --> 00:12:07.679
<v Speaker 1>Millions of dollars are being funded in. There's a un

221
00:12:08.200 --> 00:12:10.600
<v Speaker 1>group that's been trying to go in and bring food.

222
00:12:11.039 --> 00:12:13.639
<v Speaker 1>They've been hit by pirates so many times they haven't

223
00:12:13.639 --> 00:12:16.120
<v Speaker 1>been able to actually get the food to the people

224
00:12:16.159 --> 00:12:19.759
<v Speaker 1>that need it. Yeah, these are your own people, terrorizing

225
00:12:19.879 --> 00:12:23.559
<v Speaker 1>your own people and stealing from them and harming them

226
00:12:23.600 --> 00:12:26.240
<v Speaker 1>and displacing them and going in these camps and killing

227
00:12:26.279 --> 00:12:28.159
<v Speaker 1>them just for the sake of killing them.

228
00:12:28.320 --> 00:12:33.200
<v Speaker 2>Yep, just blind rage to it. It's terror tactics. You know.

229
00:12:33.240 --> 00:12:37.879
<v Speaker 1>It's because they want the They want the cities to

230
00:12:38.080 --> 00:12:42.480
<v Speaker 1>pay taxes on protecting them, is what the terrorist groups

231
00:12:42.519 --> 00:12:45.120
<v Speaker 1>are doing. So they're funding each other. They're pretty much

232
00:12:45.120 --> 00:12:48.799
<v Speaker 1>attacking the citizens to force their hand to pay these toolls,

233
00:12:49.120 --> 00:12:52.759
<v Speaker 1>any fees to keep them quote unquote safe. For many

234
00:12:52.799 --> 00:12:54.879
<v Speaker 1>of them, oh yeah, many of them are going into

235
00:12:54.919 --> 00:12:57.240
<v Speaker 1>these camps. My god, the camps are worse than being

236
00:12:57.279 --> 00:13:00.840
<v Speaker 1>in the cities almost honestly, these camps are horrific and

237
00:13:00.879 --> 00:13:04.000
<v Speaker 1>so all this money that they're supposed to be getting

238
00:13:04.039 --> 00:13:06.600
<v Speaker 1>from America to help from the you and to help

239
00:13:07.039 --> 00:13:09.720
<v Speaker 1>from all these different organizations is just gone. It's just

240
00:13:10.960 --> 00:13:11.519
<v Speaker 1>right aware.

241
00:13:11.759 --> 00:13:15.200
<v Speaker 2>And that's the point, right, that situation in Somalia and

242
00:13:15.279 --> 00:13:18.080
<v Speaker 2>America being a I know, there's gonna be so many

243
00:13:18.120 --> 00:13:20.720
<v Speaker 2>people saying America was never great and we're just such

244
00:13:20.759 --> 00:13:25.080
<v Speaker 2>a horrible, horrible country. Yeah, I'm sorry. No, No, Somalia actually

245
00:13:25.159 --> 00:13:28.559
<v Speaker 2>has a lot of horrible shit going on there. Americans can,

246
00:13:28.879 --> 00:13:32.399
<v Speaker 2>more often than not, the vast majority, ninety nine percent

247
00:13:32.440 --> 00:13:34.559
<v Speaker 2>of us can go to sleep at night and not

248
00:13:34.639 --> 00:13:36.720
<v Speaker 2>worry about if somebody's going to kick in our door

249
00:13:36.840 --> 00:13:39.360
<v Speaker 2>and kill our children as a way to extort money

250
00:13:39.360 --> 00:13:42.399
<v Speaker 2>from us. I think most Americans don't have that problem.

251
00:13:42.519 --> 00:13:46.759
<v Speaker 1>You know, six million people are in urgent life saving

252
00:13:46.960 --> 00:13:50.200
<v Speaker 1>assistance right now. Six million people need urgent life saving

253
00:13:50.240 --> 00:13:53.000
<v Speaker 1>consistance in Somalia as we speak exactly.

254
00:13:54.039 --> 00:13:56.480
<v Speaker 2>That's not the same conversation for America. So for all

255
00:13:56.480 --> 00:13:58.559
<v Speaker 2>these people they are saying America is never great, like

256
00:13:58.679 --> 00:14:01.919
<v Speaker 2>I'm sorry, as compared to what it's.

257
00:14:02.639 --> 00:14:07.000
<v Speaker 1>Their Cholera is running rampant right now through the camps,

258
00:14:07.799 --> 00:14:11.320
<v Speaker 1>dysentery coolera. They have all sorts of diseases right now,

259
00:14:11.360 --> 00:14:15.440
<v Speaker 1>the unsanitary conditions. They have no drinkable water, they barely

260
00:14:15.519 --> 00:14:18.200
<v Speaker 1>have food. The food that they are getting is not

261
00:14:18.279 --> 00:14:20.879
<v Speaker 1>even enough to feed them. Most people are dying from

262
00:14:20.919 --> 00:14:23.919
<v Speaker 1>starvation right now. Which is the person in the population

263
00:14:24.159 --> 00:14:29.240
<v Speaker 1>is in poverty. Yeah, seventy percent is in like extreme poverty.

264
00:14:29.279 --> 00:14:31.919
<v Speaker 1>We're not just talking about like kind of poverty. No,

265
00:14:32.000 --> 00:14:34.799
<v Speaker 1>we're the most extreme you could possibly get.

266
00:14:35.080 --> 00:14:40.399
<v Speaker 2>And Somalia, the warlord's using hunger as a tactic is

267
00:14:40.440 --> 00:14:43.480
<v Speaker 2>nothing new. That's that's been happening since the early nineties

268
00:14:43.519 --> 00:14:45.320
<v Speaker 2>as well, which is a portion of the reason what

269
00:14:45.480 --> 00:14:48.639
<v Speaker 2>of why America and the UN had to intervene in

270
00:14:48.879 --> 00:14:50.519
<v Speaker 2>what you saw in the movie A black Hawk Down.

271
00:14:50.799 --> 00:14:53.159
<v Speaker 2>But to your point about the extreme poverty, just so

272
00:14:53.240 --> 00:14:56.200
<v Speaker 2>everyone gets a real good snap shot of the level

273
00:14:56.200 --> 00:14:59.960
<v Speaker 2>of poverty we're talking about here, Your average annual salary

274
00:15:00.559 --> 00:15:03.559
<v Speaker 2>for you know, Joe Blow living in Somalia right now

275
00:15:04.120 --> 00:15:08.519
<v Speaker 2>is six hundred US dollars a year. Six hundred a

276
00:15:08.600 --> 00:15:12.399
<v Speaker 2>year is the average, which means that most adults are

277
00:15:12.480 --> 00:15:16.039
<v Speaker 2>living and trying to feed their family on less than

278
00:15:16.759 --> 00:15:19.440
<v Speaker 2>a dollar fifty a day, give or take.

279
00:15:19.879 --> 00:15:24.879
<v Speaker 1>That's that's insane, the like that's absolutely insane.

280
00:15:25.000 --> 00:15:28.600
<v Speaker 2>And so with that, I understand why these Somalians would

281
00:15:28.600 --> 00:15:30.799
<v Speaker 2>want to come to America, especially if there was a

282
00:15:30.840 --> 00:15:33.879
<v Speaker 2>program offered to them. I got no issue with this,

283
00:15:34.360 --> 00:15:37.559
<v Speaker 2>right the TPS that Trump has pulled away. As far

284
00:15:37.559 --> 00:15:39.799
<v Speaker 2>as Okay, them being here in the first place, I

285
00:15:39.840 --> 00:15:43.480
<v Speaker 2>get hell, yes, they want an education, they want better lives,

286
00:15:43.519 --> 00:15:46.000
<v Speaker 2>all the things, they want to get involved in their

287
00:15:46.039 --> 00:15:49.919
<v Speaker 2>local politics. Okay, that's fine. But then when we find

288
00:15:49.960 --> 00:15:54.799
<v Speaker 2>out that they have these nonprofits that are accepting tax dollars,

289
00:15:55.440 --> 00:15:57.720
<v Speaker 2>and then we find out what that money is actually

290
00:15:57.759 --> 00:16:02.159
<v Speaker 2>going towards. Good cult men, let's dive into it today,

291
00:16:02.200 --> 00:16:03.960
<v Speaker 2>because the thing that really got to start on this

292
00:16:04.120 --> 00:16:09.120
<v Speaker 2>was that over seventy people have been arrested for the

293
00:16:09.240 --> 00:16:12.919
<v Speaker 2>fraud that is going on with the Feed Our Future organization,

294
00:16:12.960 --> 00:16:15.799
<v Speaker 2>which claims that it's feeding Somalian children, but in reality

295
00:16:15.879 --> 00:16:20.360
<v Speaker 2>is sending over a billion dollars to a Somalian terrorist group.

296
00:16:20.840 --> 00:16:25.279
<v Speaker 1>Yes, this is ful crazy. One point yeah, one point

297
00:16:25.679 --> 00:16:29.840
<v Speaker 1>eight five million kids are in acute malnourishment. I'm just

298
00:16:29.919 --> 00:16:32.480
<v Speaker 1>looked at the statistic like they're on the verge of

299
00:16:32.559 --> 00:16:37.120
<v Speaker 1>death and they have no healthcare workers to help. The

300
00:16:37.200 --> 00:16:41.120
<v Speaker 1>hospitals don't have nobody. They don't even have hardly any hospitals.

301
00:16:41.200 --> 00:16:43.840
<v Speaker 1>The supplies that they do have are trying to be

302
00:16:43.879 --> 00:16:47.159
<v Speaker 1>funneled in from different un groups. If they can even

303
00:16:47.320 --> 00:16:50.960
<v Speaker 1>make it into those areas is a whole other issue,

304
00:16:51.200 --> 00:16:56.039
<v Speaker 1>because they're getting attacked NonStop. The internal conflict is huge,

305
00:16:56.080 --> 00:16:59.279
<v Speaker 1>the military presence, they're not letting them in certain locations

306
00:16:59.600 --> 00:17:03.519
<v Speaker 1>into the these pretty much cesspool these poor places that

307
00:17:03.559 --> 00:17:06.599
<v Speaker 1>are just these camps, and they have no ability to

308
00:17:06.680 --> 00:17:08.680
<v Speaker 1>get to them, and if they do, they might not

309
00:17:08.720 --> 00:17:13.480
<v Speaker 1>even be let into help. Right these people are struggling

310
00:17:13.599 --> 00:17:16.279
<v Speaker 1>so severely on top of the drought and the famine

311
00:17:16.279 --> 00:17:21.400
<v Speaker 1>that's happening, like these people are dying rampidly and happening

312
00:17:21.480 --> 00:17:24.599
<v Speaker 1>for you. You'd be helping for years, the many that

313
00:17:24.759 --> 00:17:28.839
<v Speaker 1>could be helping these people here in America. These Somalians

314
00:17:29.200 --> 00:17:32.079
<v Speaker 1>are lying and funneling them to the terrorists that are

315
00:17:32.200 --> 00:17:36.039
<v Speaker 1>terrorizing their people. That's what kisses me off the most.

316
00:17:36.359 --> 00:17:38.720
<v Speaker 2>They were We're gonna go deep on it, good cult members.

317
00:17:38.720 --> 00:17:40.359
<v Speaker 2>I'm gonna go ahead and share the screen this time,

318
00:17:40.400 --> 00:17:42.319
<v Speaker 2>and before I do, we might as well give the plug.

319
00:17:42.680 --> 00:17:45.079
<v Speaker 2>If you would like to see the articles and the

320
00:17:45.160 --> 00:17:47.799
<v Speaker 2>videos and things that we are gonna be talking about today,

321
00:17:48.079 --> 00:17:49.359
<v Speaker 2>then what you need to do is go to the

322
00:17:49.359 --> 00:17:52.000
<v Speaker 2>link in the description below to Patreon dot com slash

323
00:17:52.079 --> 00:17:54.799
<v Speaker 2>Cult to Conspiracy Podcasts. When you get there, you're gonna

324
00:17:54.799 --> 00:17:57.160
<v Speaker 2>see that there's a couple of tears for entry. The

325
00:17:57.200 --> 00:17:59.720
<v Speaker 2>five dollar tier that is available to everybody is how

326
00:17:59.720 --> 00:18:02.000
<v Speaker 2>you get all of these shows a couple of days

327
00:18:02.000 --> 00:18:04.200
<v Speaker 2>in advance. You get to see the videos, you get

328
00:18:04.200 --> 00:18:06.440
<v Speaker 2>to see all the affiliates videos as well. But probably

329
00:18:06.440 --> 00:18:09.480
<v Speaker 2>the main reason why people go to that tier above

330
00:18:09.559 --> 00:18:16.000
<v Speaker 2>all else is because it is completely commotional form and

331
00:18:16.039 --> 00:18:20.000
<v Speaker 2>I cannot understate how awesome that is. Listen, commercial suck,

332
00:18:20.279 --> 00:18:22.759
<v Speaker 2>We get it. You've probably heard two commercial breaks up

333
00:18:22.799 --> 00:18:25.920
<v Speaker 2>until this point on this very episode. They suck. Get

334
00:18:25.960 --> 00:18:27.920
<v Speaker 2>away from the commercials and come check us out Patreon

335
00:18:27.960 --> 00:18:30.200
<v Speaker 2>dot com. But the other option here, if you go

336
00:18:30.279 --> 00:18:32.680
<v Speaker 2>to that third eye all the way open tier, you

337
00:18:32.720 --> 00:18:34.720
<v Speaker 2>will get to join us every Tuesday night at nine

338
00:18:34.759 --> 00:18:38.440
<v Speaker 2>pm Central for the Cult Member Live. It is a collective,

339
00:18:38.839 --> 00:18:42.359
<v Speaker 2>a group of misfits and let's just say downright miscreants.

340
00:18:42.400 --> 00:18:44.400
<v Speaker 2>They get together every Tuesday night to talk about all

341
00:18:44.519 --> 00:18:46.400
<v Speaker 2>the wild things that have been going on in the

342
00:18:46.440 --> 00:18:50.559
<v Speaker 2>past week, some conspiratorial, some esoteric, some history. We go

343
00:18:50.599 --> 00:18:52.119
<v Speaker 2>woo woo with it and all the things. And for

344
00:18:52.160 --> 00:18:55.839
<v Speaker 2>anybody who does miss Old Jonathane, he is there on

345
00:18:55.880 --> 00:18:58.599
<v Speaker 2>the Tuesday Night Lives as well, alongside me and my

346
00:18:58.599 --> 00:19:01.839
<v Speaker 2>gorgeous co host Ravenlee. So with all this being said,

347
00:19:01.839 --> 00:19:03.680
<v Speaker 2>I'm gonna go ahead and share the screen at this time.

348
00:19:03.799 --> 00:19:05.440
<v Speaker 1>I just want to put in perspective for all the

349
00:19:05.480 --> 00:19:08.960
<v Speaker 1>cult members that you spend five dollars at least on

350
00:19:09.039 --> 00:19:13.720
<v Speaker 1>a Starbez drink just one and that's just one one day,

351
00:19:14.160 --> 00:19:16.440
<v Speaker 1>and you could be spending five dollars on us and

352
00:19:16.480 --> 00:19:19.079
<v Speaker 1>not having a list of commercials. I'm just saying that

353
00:19:19.240 --> 00:19:22.039
<v Speaker 1>it's worth for me. I hate commercials, so I'm like,

354
00:19:22.160 --> 00:19:24.480
<v Speaker 1>five dollars got you. I even paid for it, And

355
00:19:24.519 --> 00:19:26.200
<v Speaker 1>I'm like, I don't know why I pay for it,

356
00:19:26.200 --> 00:19:28.880
<v Speaker 1>but I'm paying for it too, one hundred percent.

357
00:19:29.440 --> 00:19:31.920
<v Speaker 2>All right, y'all, let's dive straight into the real reason

358
00:19:31.920 --> 00:19:34.200
<v Speaker 2>why me and Raven even decided we need to talk

359
00:19:34.240 --> 00:19:37.160
<v Speaker 2>about this, right So, this is actually from CBS News.

360
00:19:37.200 --> 00:19:41.640
<v Speaker 2>This dropped two days ago. Man thirty six years old

361

365
00:19:55.319 --> 00:19:58.640
<v Speaker 2>dollars Feeding our Future fraud scheme. The US Attorney's Office

366
00:19:58.640 --> 00:20:01.359
<v Speaker 2>in Minnesota said, uh uh, you know, I'm gonna you

<v Speaker 2>all of the names and pronunciations of the people and

369
00:20:08.359 --> 00:20:10.640
<v Speaker 2>the places and the things when it comes to Somalia.

375
00:20:25.319 --> 00:20:29.759
<v Speaker 1>am not any better. So I suck at big words

00:20:29.759 --> 00:20:32.799
<v Speaker 1>and I'm just kidding. I just don't know what the pronunciations. Thanks.

377
00:20:33.000 --> 00:20:35.720
<v Speaker 2>I feel like I do, okay, but then I get

378
00:20:35.759 --> 00:20:37.200
<v Speaker 2>hit with some of this shit and I'm like, bro,

379
00:20:38.079 --> 00:20:40.960
<v Speaker 2>why how how is there that many makeup words?

380
00:20:41.039 --> 00:20:43.039
<v Speaker 1>I'm like, just abbreviate it.

381
00:20:44.599 --> 00:20:47.799
<v Speaker 2>Right, right, right, So the US Attorney's Office in Minnesota

382
00:20:47.920 --> 00:20:53.519
<v Speaker 2>said that Dera Shad a deer shid Bixie Duel Duel

383
00:20:53.720 --> 00:20:56.559
<v Speaker 2>all Right is charged with four counts of wire fraud

384
00:20:56.640 --> 00:20:59.960
<v Speaker 2>and three counts of engaging in monetary transaction in property

385
00:21:00.279 --> 00:21:05.279
<v Speaker 2>derived from specified unlawful activity. According to the federal indictment,

386
00:21:05.400 --> 00:21:09.519
<v Speaker 2>Duell cooperated and served on the board of two Minnesota nonprofits,

387
00:21:09.960 --> 00:21:15.559
<v Speaker 2>ballal Mosque Inc. And Multicultural Resource Center, Inc. Where he

388
00:21:15.680 --> 00:21:19.000
<v Speaker 2>was the president of the latter. Duel and another person

389
00:21:19.039 --> 00:21:22.759
<v Speaker 2>identified as a conspirator applied in March twenty twenty one

390
00:21:22.799 --> 00:21:25.960
<v Speaker 2>to operate the two businesses as food program sites under

391
00:21:26.000 --> 00:21:29.519
<v Speaker 2>the sponsorship of Feeding Our Future. That name is gonna

392
00:21:29.519 --> 00:21:31.960
<v Speaker 2>come up a good bit here, y'all, core documents said,

393
00:21:32.000 --> 00:21:35.000
<v Speaker 2>all right, so, meals at sites across Minnesota during COVID

394
00:21:35.079 --> 00:21:40.880
<v Speaker 2>nineteen pandemic were funded by Federal Child Nutrition Program Okay

395
00:21:40.880 --> 00:21:44.200
<v Speaker 2>fair enough. Dual claimed to operate both sites, the blal

396
00:21:44.279 --> 00:21:48.319
<v Speaker 2>Mosque food site in Pelican Rapids and the Multicultural Resource

397
00:21:48.400 --> 00:21:52.680
<v Speaker 2>Center food site in Morehead. According to the indictment, Duel

398
00:21:52.759 --> 00:21:56.440
<v Speaker 2>at times completed meal count sheets that said over forty

399
00:21:56.519 --> 00:22:00.400
<v Speaker 2>thousand meals were being served to children every week. However,

400
00:22:00.640 --> 00:22:04.000
<v Speaker 2>as Duel knew those meal counts were false and inflated,

401
00:22:04.119 --> 00:22:07.240
<v Speaker 2>the indictment said, he then submitted the meal count sheets

402
00:22:07.240 --> 00:22:11.359
<v Speaker 2>for reimbursement. The court document said. Prosecutors accused Duel of

403
00:22:11.359 --> 00:22:15.279
<v Speaker 2>submitting fraudulent invoices that claimed to list food purchases by

404
00:22:15.279 --> 00:22:18.759
<v Speaker 2>both businesses when very little food was bought quote unquote.

405
00:22:19.000 --> 00:22:22.160
<v Speaker 2>Court documents said he also turned in fake rosters of

406
00:22:22.200 --> 00:22:25.599
<v Speaker 2>the names of children fed at both sites. Between March

407
00:22:25.759 --> 00:22:28.359
<v Speaker 2>of twenty twenty one and February of twenty twenty two,

408
00:22:28.799 --> 00:22:32.359
<v Speaker 2>the two nonprofits received about one point one million dollars

409
00:22:32.359 --> 00:22:36.680
<v Speaker 2>in federal child nutrition program funds through Feeding Our Future,

410
00:22:37.319 --> 00:22:40.880
<v Speaker 2>the indictment said, though little of this money was used

411
00:22:40.920 --> 00:22:44.000
<v Speaker 2>to purchase food, Duel and the conspirator, who controlled the

412
00:22:44.000 --> 00:22:48.200
<v Speaker 2>bank accounts of both businesses, transferred most quote unquote of

413
00:22:48.240 --> 00:22:51.920
<v Speaker 2>the money to family and Duel. According to court documents,

414
00:22:52.039 --> 00:22:54.920
<v Speaker 2>he used the funds to travel, enrich himself and by

415
00:22:55.039 --> 00:22:59.400
<v Speaker 2>real estate. The Federal Bureau of Investigation, US Postal Inspection

416
00:22:59.480 --> 00:23:05.640
<v Speaker 2>Service and IRS worked to investigate Duel. Okay, so he

417
00:23:05.799 --> 00:23:08.759
<v Speaker 2>himself was using the federal funding to enrich himself on

418
00:23:08.960 --> 00:23:12.480
<v Speaker 2>US soil, though, and that Okay, I'm I'm that's horrible,

419
00:23:12.559 --> 00:23:14.359
<v Speaker 2>and I'm glad that he's being caught and he's gonna

420
00:23:14.400 --> 00:23:17.119
<v Speaker 2>be fried. But that kind of got me thinking, here

421
00:23:17.680 --> 00:23:22.359
<v Speaker 2>seventy eighth person charged with this Feeding our Future fraud scheme.

422
00:23:23.680 --> 00:23:26.519
<v Speaker 2>He this was one guy and his co conspirator. They

423
00:23:26.519 --> 00:23:28.519
<v Speaker 2>didn't even name him. I don't even know if he's

424
00:23:28.559 --> 00:23:30.440
<v Speaker 2>being charged or if he's just kind of being brought up.

425
00:23:30.440 --> 00:23:32.920
<v Speaker 2>Maybe he took a plea deal. I don't know, but

426
00:23:32.960 --> 00:23:36.160
<v Speaker 2>they got me thinking, right, the Feeding our Future conversation,

427
00:23:36.759 --> 00:23:40.279
<v Speaker 2>To what level and to what extent has this really

428
00:23:40.359 --> 00:23:41.960
<v Speaker 2>gone down? Well?

429
00:23:42.359 --> 00:23:47.039
<v Speaker 1>They made videos and pictures of them feeding people that

430
00:23:47.119 --> 00:23:48.039
<v Speaker 1>weren't actually real.

431
00:23:48.799 --> 00:23:51.359
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I could believe that's all crisis actors and things

432
00:23:51.400 --> 00:23:52.400
<v Speaker 2>they know.

433
00:23:52.559 --> 00:23:55.519
<v Speaker 1>They did like they used random people, but they also

434
00:23:55.519 --> 00:23:59.519
<v Speaker 1>did AI generation. They did different things that they showed

435
00:23:59.599 --> 00:24:03.880
<v Speaker 1>them feeding large amounts of groups of people, and to

436
00:24:04.000 --> 00:24:06.400
<v Speaker 1>go along with their documentation.

437
00:24:06.279 --> 00:24:08.359
<v Speaker 2>It was all AI that's great. Do you just see

438
00:24:08.400 --> 00:24:11.400
<v Speaker 2>this kid at six fingers or some shit.

439
00:24:11.720 --> 00:24:14.640
<v Speaker 1>Okay, it wasn't just AI was it was like random

440
00:24:14.680 --> 00:24:16.559
<v Speaker 1>actors or they would get together like all the kids

441
00:24:16.599 --> 00:24:18.799
<v Speaker 1>and dress some different things so that that way they

442
00:24:18.799 --> 00:24:20.960
<v Speaker 1>could show, like, look at us, We're doing what we're

443
00:24:20.960 --> 00:24:23.039
<v Speaker 1>supposed to be doing. We're not stealing all of this

444
00:24:23.160 --> 00:24:23.759
<v Speaker 1>money from you.

445
00:24:24.319 --> 00:24:29.200
<v Speaker 2>Wow. Okay, So with all that news article, yes indeed

446
00:24:29.319 --> 00:24:31.720
<v Speaker 2>so now this is from a Fox News clip from

447
00:24:31.759 --> 00:24:36.559
<v Speaker 2>one day ago. Uh, this is the the Will Kine Show.

448
00:24:37.279 --> 00:24:40.640
<v Speaker 2>Listen to the numbers that are being just talked about

449
00:24:40.880 --> 00:24:44.519
<v Speaker 2>when it comes to this level of fraud over the years.

450
00:24:45.039 --> 00:24:49.440
<v Speaker 2>Let's get into it together. We are helping it. Throts.

451
00:24:50.559 --> 00:24:52.160
<v Speaker 2>So Molly's have always.

452
00:24:51.839 --> 00:24:55.599
<v Speaker 3>Seen as a fabric, has seen themselves as a fabric

453
00:24:55.640 --> 00:24:56.279
<v Speaker 3>of this slation.

454
00:24:57.519 --> 00:25:01.759
<v Speaker 2>That's ilhan Omar, which for the record, put a pin

455
00:25:01.839 --> 00:25:04.119
<v Speaker 2>in her because we will be discussing her in her

456
00:25:04.200 --> 00:25:08.039
<v Speaker 2>disgusting self here in a bit. But like, let's continue.

457
00:25:09.119 --> 00:25:12.640
<v Speaker 4>Just how many Somalians make up that fabric of our nation?

458
00:25:12.799 --> 00:25:17.000
<v Speaker 4>In Minnesota, it's just over seventy six thousand, five thousand,

459
00:25:17.039 --> 00:25:20.640
<v Speaker 4>of which currently refugees and four hundred and thirty have

460
00:25:20.799 --> 00:25:24.759
<v Speaker 4>protected status. Since then, since nineteen ninety three, there have

461
00:25:24.920 --> 00:25:29.079
<v Speaker 4>been twenty six thousand refugees. But there's also a lot

462
00:25:29.079 --> 00:25:32.880
<v Speaker 4>of money being sent to Somalia from abroad. Forty percent

463
00:25:32.920 --> 00:25:36.519
<v Speaker 4>of households there get money transfers. It totals one point

464
00:25:36.599 --> 00:25:41.960
<v Speaker 4>seven billion by the Somali diaspora. That was in twenty

465
00:25:42.000 --> 00:25:45.079
<v Speaker 4>twenty three. It's also worth pointing out that's more than

466
00:25:45.119 --> 00:25:49.319
<v Speaker 4>the budget of Somalia's government in twenty twenty three. Where's

467
00:25:49.359 --> 00:25:52.359
<v Speaker 4>it coming from, Well, here's an example. The federal child

468
00:25:52.480 --> 00:25:56.799
<v Speaker 4>nutrition program Feeding our Future very much in America. The

469
00:25:56.799 --> 00:26:00.519
<v Speaker 4>sponsored organization, we're primarily owned and operated by members of

470
00:26:00.559 --> 00:26:03.519
<v Speaker 4>the Somali community. It claimed to be serving thousands of

471
00:26:03.599 --> 00:26:07.079
<v Speaker 4>meals a day, seven days a week to underprivileged children.

472
00:26:07.559 --> 00:26:11.880
<v Speaker 4>Spoiler alert, it didn't. The frauding used fake meal counts,

473
00:26:12.000 --> 00:26:15.960
<v Speaker 4>doctored attendance records, and fabricated invoices, all while raking in

474
00:26:16.319 --> 00:26:19.319
<v Speaker 4>quite a bit of money from the government. Just this week,

475
00:26:19.359 --> 00:26:22.279
<v Speaker 4>a thirty six year old man became the seventy eighth

476
00:26:22.359 --> 00:26:25.759
<v Speaker 4>person charged in the scheme. According to prosecutors, he claimed

477
00:26:25.799 --> 00:26:29.359
<v Speaker 4>to serve six thousand meals a day, seven days a

478
00:26:29.400 --> 00:26:31.880
<v Speaker 4>week at one of the meal sites, which is more

479
00:26:31.920 --> 00:26:34.480
<v Speaker 4>than double the number of people who live in the town.

480
00:26:35.319 --> 00:26:38.839
<v Speaker 4>In twenty nineteen, Feeding our Future received three point four

481
00:26:38.920 --> 00:26:42.559
<v Speaker 4>million in federal funding. By twenty twenty one, that number

482
00:26:42.680 --> 00:26:46.519
<v Speaker 4>was two hundred million. In reality, that money was being

483
00:26:46.599 --> 00:26:49.799
<v Speaker 4>used to fund lavish lifestyles in the US and elsewhere,

484
00:26:50.240 --> 00:26:53.720
<v Speaker 4>and many other schemes spawned from this. One News Nation

485
00:26:53.960 --> 00:26:57.599
<v Speaker 4>reports to date, eighty six people have been indicted. Of

486
00:26:57.640 --> 00:27:01.880
<v Speaker 4>those indicted, federal authorities say seventy nine of them are

487
00:27:01.920 --> 00:27:07.720
<v Speaker 4>Somali descent. We told you about Minnesota's Medicaid Housing Stabilization Services.

488
00:27:07.759 --> 00:27:10.440
<v Speaker 4>It was originally created to help seniors, addicts, and others

489
00:27:10.839 --> 00:27:15.240
<v Speaker 4>find housing. Program criteria was loose, leading to fraud and

490
00:27:15.359 --> 00:27:20.279
<v Speaker 4>costs exploding. Six people accused of defrauding HSS are members

491
00:27:20.359 --> 00:27:23.640
<v Speaker 4>of the Somali community. We also told you about the

492
00:27:23.680 --> 00:27:26.880
<v Speaker 4>autism scam, where a woman in the Somali community was

493
00:27:26.920 --> 00:27:29.640
<v Speaker 4>one of the many accused of recruiting kids for autism

494
00:27:29.680 --> 00:27:34.519
<v Speaker 4>theory therapy even if they didn't have autism. As a result,

495
00:27:34.920 --> 00:27:39.319
<v Speaker 4>Medicaid claims also surged. Bottom line, we know this fraud

496
00:27:39.440 --> 00:27:43.039
<v Speaker 4>is happening, but what's worse is when good prosecutors try

497
00:27:43.039 --> 00:27:45.599
<v Speaker 4>to do something about it and a judge lets the

498
00:27:45.680 --> 00:27:49.519
<v Speaker 4>convicts off the hook, like in Hennepin County, where a

499
00:27:49.640 --> 00:27:52.880
<v Speaker 4>judge tossed out a jury guilty verdict in a seven

500
00:27:52.920 --> 00:27:57.240
<v Speaker 4>point two million dollar home health care fraud case. In August,

501
00:27:57.759 --> 00:28:02.240
<v Speaker 4>Abtifa Yusef and his wife lull Ahmed were found guilty

502
00:28:02.279 --> 00:28:04.640
<v Speaker 4>by a jury of stealing seven point two million in

503
00:28:04.680 --> 00:28:08.400
<v Speaker 4>taxpayer money through medicaid over billing in a personal care

504
00:28:08.480 --> 00:28:12.400
<v Speaker 4>assistant scam. According to the Minnesota Attorney General's office, they

505
00:28:12.480 --> 00:28:15.920
<v Speaker 4>use stolen funds for you guessed it a lavish lifestyle,

506
00:28:16.400 --> 00:28:18.920
<v Speaker 4>one million into a personal account, three hundred and eighty

507
00:28:18.920 --> 00:28:22.119
<v Speaker 4>seven thousand in cash, twenty two thousand at a furniture store,

508
00:28:22.319 --> 00:28:25.359
<v Speaker 4>forty two thousand at luxury car dealers, and eighty thousand

509
00:28:25.359 --> 00:28:28.079
<v Speaker 4>at high end clothing stores. But despite all of that

510
00:28:28.839 --> 00:28:32.519
<v Speaker 4>and a quick jury verdict, the judge tossed it out, writing,

511
00:28:32.880 --> 00:28:34.680
<v Speaker 4>while the Court is troubled by the manner in which

512
00:28:34.680 --> 00:28:38.400
<v Speaker 4>fraud was able to be perpetrated at promise, the state's

513
00:28:38.440 --> 00:28:41.960
<v Speaker 4>evidence did not exclude other reasonable rational inferences that are

514
00:28:42.000 --> 00:28:47.880
<v Speaker 4>inconsistent with mister yuse of skilt. It's all incredible, seemingly rampant.

515
00:28:48.279 --> 00:28:53.240
<v Speaker 2>Hey, it's will okay. So now taking all of that

516
00:28:53.440 --> 00:28:58.119
<v Speaker 2>into account, these are just a few little highlighted details

517
00:28:58.599 --> 00:29:04.079
<v Speaker 2>that were all funneled through the feeding our future charade. Right,

518
00:29:04.160 --> 00:29:06.839
<v Speaker 2>it is a big fraud scheme as it always was

519
00:29:06.880 --> 00:29:08.599
<v Speaker 2>intended to be, to be completely.

520
00:29:08.160 --> 00:29:11.000
<v Speaker 1>Honest with you, easy, it's crazy that the judge threw

521
00:29:11.039 --> 00:29:14.359
<v Speaker 1>that out and that all of these people that are

522
00:29:14.400 --> 00:29:17.400
<v Speaker 1>doing this fraud, it's only hurting the actual community that

523
00:29:17.480 --> 00:29:22.519
<v Speaker 1>needs it, right, All those children are probably suffering in

524
00:29:22.559 --> 00:29:25.519
<v Speaker 1>those communities that actually do need meals and do need help,

525
00:29:26.079 --> 00:29:30.200
<v Speaker 1>and here we are just funneling it for lavish lifestyles.

526
00:29:29.839 --> 00:29:31.359
<v Speaker 1>It's it's pretty fucked up.

527
00:29:31.640 --> 00:29:34.400
<v Speaker 2>It is, and it just kind of is what it is, right.

528
00:29:34.440 --> 00:29:37.920
<v Speaker 2>They don't really care about it because, well, the local

529
00:29:38.000 --> 00:29:40.759
<v Speaker 2>judge is gonna throw it out anyway. What difference does

530
00:29:40.799 --> 00:29:42.319
<v Speaker 2>it make to quote kill.

531
00:29:42.200 --> 00:29:45.519
<v Speaker 1>How much he's been getting paid for exact for him

532
00:29:45.519 --> 00:29:47.240
<v Speaker 1>to just sweep it under the rug, how many of

533
00:29:47.279 --> 00:29:49.759
<v Speaker 1>those people and how big of scheme it is in

534
00:29:50.119 --> 00:29:53.240
<v Speaker 1>and of itself, and how many actually belong to the terrorist.

535
00:29:52.960 --> 00:29:57.480
<v Speaker 2>Groups to quote Killery Clinton, What does it matter? Because

536
00:29:57.480 --> 00:29:59.960
<v Speaker 2>it's it doesn't, It really doesn't. It's gonna get thrown out.

537
00:30:00.160 --> 00:30:03.240
<v Speaker 2>And these children who were claiming that they were autistic

538
00:30:03.559 --> 00:30:06.759
<v Speaker 2>and they're getting all this federal funding for therapy, they're

539
00:30:06.759 --> 00:30:09.359
<v Speaker 2>not real. They don't really exist. The one that killed

540
00:30:09.359 --> 00:30:12.279
<v Speaker 2>me was six thousand meals were given seven days a

541
00:30:12.319 --> 00:30:16.599
<v Speaker 2>week to this community from this one mosque. That's twice

542
00:30:16.640 --> 00:30:20.079
<v Speaker 2>as many people than what live in the town, let

543
00:30:20.119 --> 00:30:22.079
<v Speaker 2>alone attendees at this mosque.

544
00:30:22.599 --> 00:30:25.200
<v Speaker 1>So sure, you go, how did it go by so long?

545
00:30:25.279 --> 00:30:27.079
<v Speaker 1>That's what I wonder. I'm like, there's so many people

546
00:30:27.079 --> 00:30:29.279
<v Speaker 1>that would see this and they just are kind of like.

547
00:30:29.960 --> 00:30:32.599
<v Speaker 2>You would think. You would think though, but think about

548
00:30:32.599 --> 00:30:35.200
<v Speaker 2>this too. It Say what you want about Trump, say

549
00:30:35.200 --> 00:30:37.079
<v Speaker 2>what you want about Elon, say what you want about

550
00:30:37.119 --> 00:30:40.359
<v Speaker 2>the Doge conversation. From the first four months of this administration,

551
00:30:41.240 --> 00:30:45.680
<v Speaker 2>they found so many cases where money was just being

552
00:30:45.839 --> 00:30:50.440
<v Speaker 2>thrown into a fire pit somewhere, and yeah, it should

553
00:30:50.480 --> 00:30:52.519
<v Speaker 2>have been caught. There should be checks and balances, but

554
00:30:52.559 --> 00:30:54.359
<v Speaker 2>there's just not. As long as you can fill out

555
00:30:54.400 --> 00:30:56.440
<v Speaker 2>the paperwork the right way and you have somebody at

556
00:30:56.480 --> 00:30:59.000
<v Speaker 2>the office that doesn't care, the funding is going to

557
00:30:59.039 --> 00:30:59.799
<v Speaker 2>just go that way.

558
00:31:00.319 --> 00:31:03.480
<v Speaker 1>So many people are actually suffering in America that need

559
00:31:03.599 --> 00:31:06.640
<v Speaker 1>true help, and then we just have money pits that

560
00:31:06.680 --> 00:31:09.400
<v Speaker 1>are happening so many people. So many children are on

561
00:31:09.519 --> 00:31:13.799
<v Speaker 1>waitless to get care and to get specialized care. My

562
00:31:14.079 --> 00:31:16.839
<v Speaker 1>one child we waited an entire year to even be

563
00:31:17.039 --> 00:31:22.200
<v Speaker 1>seen for one specific thing. And it's just mind blowing

564
00:31:22.240 --> 00:31:24.920
<v Speaker 1>to me that there's people out there that are doing

565
00:31:24.960 --> 00:31:27.960
<v Speaker 1>this and then want to claim like, but you're racist,

566
00:31:28.000 --> 00:31:30.240
<v Speaker 1>you're this, you're that. It's like, no, you're just a

567
00:31:30.279 --> 00:31:33.960
<v Speaker 1>horrible human being that shouldn't shouldn't be allowed to be here.

568
00:31:34.039 --> 00:31:37.359
<v Speaker 1>If this is what you're doing, including Americans, by the way,

569
00:31:37.440 --> 00:31:40.079
<v Speaker 1>and including Americans, if they're here and they're taking from

570
00:31:40.160 --> 00:31:43.440
<v Speaker 1>American citizens, you know, we can just ship them overseas,

571
00:31:43.680 --> 00:31:45.519
<v Speaker 1>put them locations that they want to go to.

572
00:31:46.599 --> 00:31:48.720
<v Speaker 2>I wish we could just do that. And that's to

573
00:31:48.839 --> 00:31:51.400
<v Speaker 2>that same point. As much as these people want to

574
00:31:51.440 --> 00:31:53.960
<v Speaker 2>rant and rave and even Americans for the reck. When

575
00:31:53.960 --> 00:31:55.920
<v Speaker 2>I say these people, I don't hear me.

576
00:31:55.920 --> 00:31:57.640
<v Speaker 1>Out I mean anybody in America.

577
00:31:58.079 --> 00:32:01.519
<v Speaker 2>I know, I'm talking about American citizens. A matter of fact,

578
00:32:01.799 --> 00:32:05.519
<v Speaker 2>I'll be even more frank, I'm talking about what people

579
00:32:05.960 --> 00:32:10.400
<v Speaker 2>who think that America is so fascist and so bad

580
00:32:10.400 --> 00:32:12.680
<v Speaker 2>in all these things, and they scream and beg that

581
00:32:12.720 --> 00:32:15.880
<v Speaker 2>we were more socialists or more whatever their version of

582
00:32:16.519 --> 00:32:21.039
<v Speaker 2>ridiculous correct ideologies are quote unquote right. It's crazy to

583
00:32:21.079 --> 00:32:24.279
<v Speaker 2>me how we'll have people from Somalia come to America

584
00:32:24.680 --> 00:32:28.319
<v Speaker 2>and try to make certain pockets of America more Somalian

585
00:32:28.920 --> 00:32:32.400
<v Speaker 2>like they wanted to be just like home. I'm curious

586
00:32:32.519 --> 00:32:34.559
<v Speaker 2>if we were to take these people that keep saying

587
00:32:34.599 --> 00:32:36.440
<v Speaker 2>America was never great and all that, and we were

588
00:32:36.440 --> 00:32:40.680
<v Speaker 2>to just implant them in Somalia for I'll be very

589
00:32:40.799 --> 00:32:44.799
<v Speaker 2>nice and say six months, I wonder how much they

590
00:32:44.799 --> 00:32:48.039
<v Speaker 2>would come back singing the fucking Star Spangled banner at

591
00:32:48.359 --> 00:32:51.960
<v Speaker 2>nauseum to talk about how amazing the stars and stripes

592
00:32:52.039 --> 00:32:52.519
<v Speaker 2>really is.

593
00:32:53.119 --> 00:32:56.440
<v Speaker 1>They wouldn't even make it though. They would be headed, captured.

594
00:32:56.559 --> 00:32:59.640
<v Speaker 1>There was those people slavery, yeah, they would kill them.

595
00:33:01.039 --> 00:33:03.799
<v Speaker 2>You remember that couple in Afghanistan They tried biking across

596
00:33:03.839 --> 00:33:06.400
<v Speaker 2>Afghanistan to prove that it really wasn't that bad.

597
00:33:06.880 --> 00:33:09.440
<v Speaker 1>The ones that got beheaded, Yeah, they didn't.

598
00:33:09.200 --> 00:33:11.920
<v Speaker 2>Even make it, not even an entire week. This this

599
00:33:12.000 --> 00:33:13.799
<v Speaker 2>married couple. I want to say, they're from like France

600
00:33:13.880 --> 00:33:16.680
<v Speaker 2>or something, and they decided that, you know what, everybody

601
00:33:16.759 --> 00:33:19.480
<v Speaker 2>keeps saying, the Taliban is so bad, it's just rhetoric,

602
00:33:19.880 --> 00:33:23.519
<v Speaker 2>it's just the media. We're gonna prove it by vlogging

603
00:33:23.880 --> 00:33:27.400
<v Speaker 2>a bicycle trip across Afghanistan. They were found less than

604
00:33:27.440 --> 00:33:30.079
<v Speaker 2>a week later with their bodies in a ditch and

605
00:33:30.119 --> 00:33:34.440
<v Speaker 2>their heads on spikes, because that's how they do business there,

606
00:33:34.480 --> 00:33:38.279
<v Speaker 2>and it's like, sure, people, y'all. Y' Also a lot of.

607
00:33:38.279 --> 00:33:41.640
<v Speaker 1>People don't understand that though in America. They don't They

608
00:33:41.680 --> 00:33:46.160
<v Speaker 1>haven't been outside of America, so they don't quite grasp

609
00:33:46.319 --> 00:33:49.839
<v Speaker 1>what people are going through in other locations around this

610
00:33:49.920 --> 00:33:53.279
<v Speaker 1>world and what they're actually true suffering. Looks like we

611
00:33:53.400 --> 00:33:56.000
<v Speaker 1>have pockets of true suffering in America. We have the

612
00:33:56.039 --> 00:34:00.119
<v Speaker 1>paces absolutely struggling. We have lots of people that are

613
00:34:00.160 --> 00:34:02.599
<v Speaker 1>struggling to make ends meet, that are struggling to feed

614
00:34:02.640 --> 00:34:06.480
<v Speaker 1>their families, and we should be pouring our resources into

615
00:34:06.559 --> 00:34:10.199
<v Speaker 1>our American citizens, but there are lots of places like

616
00:34:10.239 --> 00:34:14.000
<v Speaker 1>small that need help. I mean, they desperately need help.

617
00:34:14.039 --> 00:34:17.760
<v Speaker 1>You're talking almost two million kids are dying for food, right,

618
00:34:17.800 --> 00:34:20.480
<v Speaker 1>but then we can't even get the food to them exactly.

619
00:34:20.599 --> 00:34:23.480
<v Speaker 1>People don't quite understand that. All they think is that,

620
00:34:24.719 --> 00:34:28.519
<v Speaker 1>you know, the political atmosphere and the left and the

621
00:34:28.599 --> 00:34:33.679
<v Speaker 1>right fighting is more important than understanding that there is

622
00:34:33.760 --> 00:34:36.800
<v Speaker 1>true suffering happening in this world, and that maybe we

623
00:34:36.840 --> 00:34:40.159
<v Speaker 1>should try to work together and find common ground instead

624
00:34:40.159 --> 00:34:42.400
<v Speaker 1>of swinging so polarized left and right.

625
00:34:43.039 --> 00:34:45.440
<v Speaker 2>You know, I've talked about this on the show before.

626
00:34:45.719 --> 00:34:49.119
<v Speaker 2>There was a time, long before we were ever alive,

627
00:34:49.679 --> 00:34:53.639
<v Speaker 2>where the politicians, regardless of what letter designation they had

628
00:34:53.679 --> 00:34:56.960
<v Speaker 2>by their name, they had at least some sort of

629
00:34:56.960 --> 00:34:59.639
<v Speaker 2>a working decorum, right. They would they would shit talk

630
00:34:59.679 --> 00:35:02.239
<v Speaker 2>each other, for sure, they would call each other out publicly,

631
00:35:02.280 --> 00:35:04.280
<v Speaker 2>and all the things that's been around for forever. Yellow

632
00:35:04.320 --> 00:35:07.000
<v Speaker 2>journalism has been a thing for quite some time. What

633
00:35:07.039 --> 00:35:10.079
<v Speaker 2>I mean is, I would say even forties and fifties,

634
00:35:10.119 --> 00:35:14.079
<v Speaker 2>and arguably even into the sixties and touching into the seventies,

635
00:35:14.119 --> 00:35:17.760
<v Speaker 2>even there were politicians that, yeah, okay, I might be

636
00:35:17.800 --> 00:35:22.480
<v Speaker 2>a Republican, but hey, Democrat homie over here, I will

637
00:35:22.559 --> 00:35:25.039
<v Speaker 2>vote in favor of this bill you're trying to get passed.

638
00:35:25.320 --> 00:35:27.320
<v Speaker 2>But I'm gonna need you do the same thing whenever

639
00:35:27.400 --> 00:35:29.639
<v Speaker 2>I have something next year that I'm trying to pass.

640
00:35:30.079 --> 00:35:32.559
<v Speaker 2>All right, I'll scratch your back, you scratch mine. We're

641
00:35:32.559 --> 00:35:34.639
<v Speaker 2>gonna try to, you know, a little bit of some

642
00:35:34.719 --> 00:35:37.119
<v Speaker 2>song and dance routine. We got to keep up appearances

643
00:35:37.159 --> 00:35:39.480
<v Speaker 2>to the people, make sure our constituents ain't mad at us.

644
00:35:39.480 --> 00:35:42.400
<v Speaker 2>We gotta get reelected, of course, but like, let's let's

645
00:35:42.440 --> 00:35:44.599
<v Speaker 2>try to make something happen to get some real change

646
00:35:44.599 --> 00:35:47.480
<v Speaker 2>inacted here. Let's do something for the better of America.

647
00:35:47.840 --> 00:35:51.159
<v Speaker 2>That was a thing at one point in time. I

648
00:35:51.199 --> 00:35:54.920
<v Speaker 2>would argue, ever since, like from the mid seventies to now,

649
00:35:55.199 --> 00:35:58.199
<v Speaker 2>it has gotten so far gone and so.

650
00:35:58.280 --> 00:36:02.599
<v Speaker 1>Pot Americans anymore. Is it's not about helping us or

651
00:36:02.639 --> 00:36:08.039
<v Speaker 1>protecting us, or making sure every group has what they need,

652
00:36:08.199 --> 00:36:12.719
<v Speaker 1>and you know, really trying to make every community within

653
00:36:12.800 --> 00:36:19.119
<v Speaker 1>America thrive and people lesson poverty, help people have better education,

654
00:36:19.360 --> 00:36:23.000
<v Speaker 1>help people have better access to healthcare, do the things

655
00:36:23.000 --> 00:36:26.039
<v Speaker 1>that we need to do. Our education system is obviously failing,

656
00:36:26.400 --> 00:36:30.599
<v Speaker 1>So why are we not implementing better education? Like Germany?

657
00:36:30.639 --> 00:36:36.199
<v Speaker 1>For example, Germany's education system is fantastic. They're making people

658
00:36:36.239 --> 00:36:39.320
<v Speaker 1>that have actual jobs, career paths and everything. Like you

659
00:36:39.400 --> 00:36:41.760
<v Speaker 1>start kind of in that path, like it I think

660
00:36:41.800 --> 00:36:44.159
<v Speaker 1>it's like fourth grade. You kind of start, you take

661
00:36:44.159 --> 00:36:46.760
<v Speaker 1>a couple tests, and then you take another like again

662
00:36:46.800 --> 00:36:49.280
<v Speaker 1>at like seventh or eighth grade, you take your next

663
00:36:49.559 --> 00:36:51.400
<v Speaker 1>set of tests, and then you go to your specialized

664
00:36:51.400 --> 00:36:53.800
<v Speaker 1>schools and you can transfer back and forth, depends on

665
00:36:53.840 --> 00:36:56.599
<v Speaker 1>what your job field and they pretty much have a

666
00:36:56.840 --> 00:37:00.519
<v Speaker 1>really well organized system of like trying to these get

667
00:37:00.679 --> 00:37:02.800
<v Speaker 1>kids to figure out what they would like to do,

668
00:37:03.440 --> 00:37:07.159
<v Speaker 1>have a generalized idea, go into those fields, already be

669
00:37:07.320 --> 00:37:09.199
<v Speaker 1>in a direction of life.

670
00:37:09.360 --> 00:37:11.440
<v Speaker 2>But Germany has got their own problems because of their

671
00:37:11.440 --> 00:37:15.320
<v Speaker 2>own Muslim immigration issues that they allowed because of German

672
00:37:16.000 --> 00:37:17.440
<v Speaker 2>aka Angela Merkel.

673
00:37:18.239 --> 00:37:21.239
<v Speaker 1>They're kicking them out left and right. They're over their shit.

674
00:37:21.199 --> 00:37:24.320
<v Speaker 2>Thank god, because and that was so crazy when Merkel

675
00:37:24.360 --> 00:37:26.920
<v Speaker 2>went on and there was rape gangs that were going

676
00:37:27.039 --> 00:37:29.679
<v Speaker 2>up and down streets, and her response to her German

677
00:37:29.719 --> 00:37:33.519
<v Speaker 2>people was well, just traveling groups, like we can't stop them.

678
00:37:33.599 --> 00:37:36.000
<v Speaker 2>It's their culture, and it's like, I'm sorry.

679
00:37:35.719 --> 00:37:40.599
<v Speaker 1>What I think. It's Ireland, Ireland or Scotland where they're talking,

680
00:37:40.639 --> 00:37:43.320
<v Speaker 1>and even the UK right now where their citizens are

681
00:37:43.360 --> 00:37:46.360
<v Speaker 1>showing like we can't go outside, we can't do these things.

682
00:37:46.760 --> 00:37:49.840
<v Speaker 1>We know we're being hunted down, we're being targeted. And

683
00:37:49.880 --> 00:37:52.159
<v Speaker 1>then you have the videos that have been popping up

684
00:37:52.199 --> 00:37:55.960
<v Speaker 1>this last week from Muslim groups that are like we're

685
00:37:56.000 --> 00:37:59.159
<v Speaker 1>taking over and that's what we've been saying, this is

686
00:37:59.159 --> 00:38:01.239
<v Speaker 1>what we're pushing or this is what we're going to do.

687
00:38:01.320 --> 00:38:04.079
<v Speaker 1>We're going to take over Europe. We're coming for America,

688
00:38:04.119 --> 00:38:07.280
<v Speaker 1>We're coming for Canada. And it's like, I don't understand

689
00:38:07.280 --> 00:38:11.360
<v Speaker 1>why people don't take the threat seriously, but people out number.

690
00:38:11.079 --> 00:38:12.440
<v Speaker 2>Of politicians don't.

691
00:38:12.639 --> 00:38:15.199
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, well the politicians are just like, no, you're good.

692
00:38:15.239 --> 00:38:17.559
<v Speaker 1>And my favorite part about all this is the UK

693
00:38:17.800 --> 00:38:21.960
<v Speaker 1>is charging their citizens and arresting them for speaking up

694
00:38:21.960 --> 00:38:26.239
<v Speaker 1>against anything to do with any type of Islamic anything.

695
00:38:26.800 --> 00:38:29.719
<v Speaker 1>It's hate speech and it's hate rhetoric and they can't

696
00:38:29.760 --> 00:38:34.079
<v Speaker 1>see anything. And like the one lady that she got

697
00:38:34.119 --> 00:38:37.360
<v Speaker 1>attacked and she actually like was vocalizing what's going on

698
00:38:37.880 --> 00:38:40.280
<v Speaker 1>and they arrested her instead, and it's like, you know,

699
00:38:40.760 --> 00:38:43.039
<v Speaker 1>we have a huge issue here. The guy with the

700
00:38:43.679 --> 00:38:46.760
<v Speaker 1>Korean Scottish dude, Yeah, he was just attained. I don't

701
00:38:46.760 --> 00:38:49.039
<v Speaker 1>know if anyone's ever seen this guy. So he wore

702
00:38:49.159 --> 00:38:53.239
<v Speaker 1>bacon on his shoulders in an interview with a UK

703
00:38:53.960 --> 00:38:56.599
<v Speaker 1>journalist and they didn't realize it. And he goes off

704
00:38:56.639 --> 00:39:01.360
<v Speaker 1>on a tangent about Islam or Muslims.

705
00:39:01.320 --> 00:39:02.119
<v Speaker 2>And same thing.

706
00:39:02.719 --> 00:39:06.000
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, and he ends up he didn't get arrested. Then

707
00:39:06.039 --> 00:39:08.840
<v Speaker 1>he actually just got arrested or detained. Last week he

708
00:39:08.960 --> 00:39:12.920
<v Speaker 1>is released again, but he is not like slowing down.

709
00:39:13.599 --> 00:39:16.719
<v Speaker 1>I'm going to call out everything that's been happening and

710
00:39:16.880 --> 00:39:19.199
<v Speaker 1>the people that just killed. Who was it in New

711
00:39:19.280 --> 00:39:20.840
<v Speaker 1>York to Afghanistan?

712
00:39:21.480 --> 00:39:24.159
<v Speaker 2>Oh? No, in DC the shooting it was an Afghan

713
00:39:24.280 --> 00:39:28.559
<v Speaker 2>national who came over because he helped out US forces when

714
00:39:28.599 --> 00:39:31.679
<v Speaker 2>we were in Afghanistan, and he shot two National Guard

715
00:39:31.760 --> 00:39:34.519
<v Speaker 2>soldiers in d C, which is mind blowing to me.

716
00:39:34.840 --> 00:39:37.119
<v Speaker 2>Of all the places, you're gonna pop off the spot

717
00:39:37.119 --> 00:39:39.760
<v Speaker 2>where there's National Guard troops on every street corner. Hell,

718
00:39:39.760 --> 00:39:40.519
<v Speaker 2>we were just there.

719
00:39:40.639 --> 00:39:42.639
<v Speaker 1>They're everywhere, They're everywhere.

720
00:39:42.719 --> 00:39:45.679
<v Speaker 2>What did you think was gonna happen here? Homie? But okay, fine,

721
00:39:45.800 --> 00:39:47.920
<v Speaker 2>But to your point, a lot of people in America

722
00:39:48.000 --> 00:39:51.719
<v Speaker 2>really to just the Korean Scottish guy who also that

723
00:39:51.840 --> 00:39:55.519
<v Speaker 2>sounds like a misnomer. He's real, he's out there, he's hilarious.

724
00:39:55.760 --> 00:39:57.639
<v Speaker 1>He's a little mystical creature.

725
00:39:57.639 --> 00:39:59.880
<v Speaker 2>Right, no doubt. It's like black Scottish. They're out there,

726
00:40:00.079 --> 00:40:03.880
<v Speaker 2>but they're almost they're mythical in ways. But my point

727
00:40:04.000 --> 00:40:07.599
<v Speaker 2>is people in America don't understand how freedom of speech

728
00:40:07.800 --> 00:40:11.159
<v Speaker 2>is such a valuable and precious thing that we do,

729
00:40:11.239 --> 00:40:13.559
<v Speaker 2>in fact need to protect. In the UK, they don't

730
00:40:13.599 --> 00:40:16.840
<v Speaker 2>have that. They can get arrested for anything. There.

731
00:40:18.000 --> 00:40:20.840
<v Speaker 1>The two British guys that come here all the time

732
00:40:20.880 --> 00:40:23.880
<v Speaker 1>in vlog food and all that stuff. They're really funny,

733
00:40:23.880 --> 00:40:27.280
<v Speaker 1>they're well known. Did you know that they've almost been arrested.

734
00:40:27.280 --> 00:40:29.679
<v Speaker 1>Actually I think they're going to get arrested for what

735
00:40:29.760 --> 00:40:33.280
<v Speaker 1>they've said. Yeah, just believe it, just because they're like, oh,

736
00:40:33.400 --> 00:40:35.880
<v Speaker 1>you know, there's there's some things about England that we

737
00:40:35.920 --> 00:40:39.119
<v Speaker 1>don't really like. Nothing that they say at all was

738
00:40:39.159 --> 00:40:42.519
<v Speaker 1>like political in nature or like we should get killed

739
00:40:42.559 --> 00:40:42.880
<v Speaker 1>for this.

740
00:40:43.239 --> 00:40:45.039
<v Speaker 2>We had a guy come on our show. He was

741
00:40:45.039 --> 00:40:47.760
<v Speaker 2>from Australia, also a part of the British Commonwealth, so

742
00:40:47.880 --> 00:40:50.000
<v Speaker 2>you know, they don't have freedom of speech there. He's

743
00:40:50.000 --> 00:40:53.039
<v Speaker 2>a conspiracy theorist. He had a conspiracy podcast. It was

744
00:40:53.039 --> 00:40:55.159
<v Speaker 2>a solid We had one as a guest. Great guy,

745
00:40:55.440 --> 00:40:59.559
<v Speaker 2>great guy, and it wasn't even very politically motivated. But

746
00:41:00.079 --> 00:41:02.079
<v Speaker 2>they were trying to find a way to fry him

747
00:41:02.480 --> 00:41:04.480
<v Speaker 2>and they couldn't get him because he was very careful

748
00:41:04.519 --> 00:41:07.159
<v Speaker 2>with his wording. But he had a pair of nunchucks

749
00:41:07.199 --> 00:41:09.960
<v Speaker 2>on the wall behind him, and in Australia that's a

750
00:41:10.000 --> 00:41:13.559
<v Speaker 2>federal offense. You can't have nunchucks in Austriia. They were

751
00:41:13.599 --> 00:41:15.760
<v Speaker 2>foam for the record, they were signed by like Chung

752
00:41:15.840 --> 00:41:17.800
<v Speaker 2>Lee or something like. It was. It was from a

753
00:41:17.880 --> 00:41:21.000
<v Speaker 2>movie thing. It was a prop set of nunchucks. They

754
00:41:21.119 --> 00:41:24.840
<v Speaker 2>swatted him, kicked in his door, took him off in cuffs,

755
00:41:25.320 --> 00:41:27.360
<v Speaker 2>saying the nunchucks were the reason, but in reality it

756
00:41:27.440 --> 00:41:30.840
<v Speaker 2>was because he had a mouth on them. That's how

757
00:41:30.880 --> 00:41:31.320
<v Speaker 2>it goes down.

758
00:41:32.079 --> 00:41:34.679
<v Speaker 1>I don't understand why people think that this is just

759
00:41:34.719 --> 00:41:36.920
<v Speaker 1>how the world. Everyone can see whatever they want. No,

760
00:41:37.039 --> 00:41:40.519
<v Speaker 1>they cannot know, they cannot. V for Vendetta is a

761
00:41:40.519 --> 00:41:44.679
<v Speaker 1>great example for people to like visually look at and

762
00:41:44.679 --> 00:41:48.159
<v Speaker 1>be like, hmm, would this happen? Yes, it's happening. It's

763
00:41:48.199 --> 00:41:51.559
<v Speaker 1>happening right now. It's right now. They like, we are

764
00:41:51.639 --> 00:41:54.480
<v Speaker 1>living V for Vendetta. Please wake up people.

765
00:41:54.559 --> 00:41:56.519
<v Speaker 2>And to your point about how like the people in

766
00:41:56.559 --> 00:42:00.840
<v Speaker 2>the UK and in Germany, all the citizenry is are

767
00:42:00.880 --> 00:42:03.039
<v Speaker 2>fully aware of what's going on and that's why they're

768
00:42:03.079 --> 00:42:06.440
<v Speaker 2>revolting in the way that they are, but the politicians

769
00:42:06.480 --> 00:42:10.440
<v Speaker 2>are so far removed from what's actually going on. They

770
00:42:10.440 --> 00:42:13.840
<v Speaker 2>are currently trying to pass a law in England to

771
00:42:13.920 --> 00:42:17.840
<v Speaker 2>where you can't marry your first cousin. They're trying to

772
00:42:17.880 --> 00:42:20.960
<v Speaker 2>pass that now, right, because that's that's been a thing

773
00:42:21.320 --> 00:42:22.719
<v Speaker 2>on the books. I can't oh wait wait, wait, wait,

774
00:42:22.760 --> 00:42:26.039
<v Speaker 2>wait wait, because in theory, you're thinking that sounds so dumb.

775
00:42:26.199 --> 00:42:29.639
<v Speaker 2>Why would that not be a law? The political spectrums

776
00:42:29.679 --> 00:42:31.800
<v Speaker 2>of the left and the right over there are arguing

777
00:42:31.840 --> 00:42:35.199
<v Speaker 2>about it because the Muslim majority is saying this is

778
00:42:35.360 --> 00:42:39.079
<v Speaker 2>racist against their culture. Let that one sink in. As

779
00:42:39.119 --> 00:42:41.559
<v Speaker 2>long as you need to good cult members. They are

780
00:42:41.639 --> 00:42:45.519
<v Speaker 2>deliberating over if they can't. That was a made up word.

781
00:42:45.559 --> 00:42:47.559
<v Speaker 2>I was gonna say delineating, but you know what, there

782
00:42:47.599 --> 00:42:51.360
<v Speaker 2>it is. They're deliberating over if they should or should

783
00:42:51.400 --> 00:42:53.679
<v Speaker 2>not be allowed to marry their first cousins as a

784
00:42:53.840 --> 00:42:57.519
<v Speaker 2>national law in England. And the only pushback is from

785
00:42:57.519 --> 00:43:00.000
<v Speaker 2>a Muslim dude who's saying that this is racist against

786
00:43:00.159 --> 00:43:00.599
<v Speaker 2>his people.

787
00:43:01.400 --> 00:43:04.800
<v Speaker 1>That's insane. That is not their culture, like, that is

788
00:43:04.840 --> 00:43:07.320
<v Speaker 1>not their that is not their area.

789
00:43:07.360 --> 00:43:09.920
<v Speaker 2>And they say it's for all races, including the Gypsies,

790
00:43:09.920 --> 00:43:12.519
<v Speaker 2>which that's the thing the Gypsies do too. But it's like, okay, dude,

791
00:43:12.719 --> 00:43:13.679
<v Speaker 2>the traveler.

792
00:43:13.840 --> 00:43:16.199
<v Speaker 1>All the things that are happening though right now, like

793
00:43:16.360 --> 00:43:18.519
<v Speaker 1>that's the thing that we're going to lynchpin it, yep.

794
00:43:18.760 --> 00:43:21.360
<v Speaker 1>Not the massive amounts of rapes that are going on.

795
00:43:21.880 --> 00:43:24.480
<v Speaker 1>Not that your citizens are being attacked in their homes,

796
00:43:24.480 --> 00:43:26.840
<v Speaker 1>those old people that got beat the shit out of

797
00:43:26.960 --> 00:43:27.840
<v Speaker 1>and everything else.

798
00:43:28.039 --> 00:43:30.719
<v Speaker 2>Not the woman having brunch and getting asked thrown in

799
00:43:30.760 --> 00:43:33.559
<v Speaker 2>her face by some random dude walking down the street. No, no, no,

800
00:43:33.599 --> 00:43:36.400
<v Speaker 2>that's not it. We need to talk about how if

801
00:43:36.440 --> 00:43:38.960
<v Speaker 2>I can't mayor my cushion. You just being racist. I

802
00:43:39.000 --> 00:43:41.199
<v Speaker 2>don't know why I threw a redneck term on that

803
00:43:41.239 --> 00:43:43.519
<v Speaker 2>one when it should have been more Islamic sounding, but.

804
00:43:43.760 --> 00:43:45.719
<v Speaker 1>I have no idea, but I mean to be fair,

805
00:43:45.760 --> 00:43:48.519
<v Speaker 1>like it's still as fucked up, I don't get me wrong,

806
00:43:48.559 --> 00:43:51.400
<v Speaker 1>but like not to sidestep that. But there is far

807
00:43:51.519 --> 00:43:56.360
<v Speaker 1>greater issues happening right now than that specific one, and

808
00:43:56.599 --> 00:43:59.880
<v Speaker 1>people are getting arrested left and right over there first

809
00:44:00.079 --> 00:44:03.360
<v Speaker 1>packing up against this and being like we aren't safe.

810
00:44:03.880 --> 00:44:06.559
<v Speaker 1>We have to put our phones in our pockets or

811
00:44:06.639 --> 00:44:10.039
<v Speaker 1>hide them someplace on our bodies, and we feel like

812
00:44:10.079 --> 00:44:16.719
<v Speaker 1>we're terrified to go outside. And no, but masty bart

813
00:44:16.800 --> 00:44:19.760
<v Speaker 1>them like Germany is. Germany is like fuck you, guys,

814
00:44:19.800 --> 00:44:23.000
<v Speaker 1>We're done with you, and we're just masty parting.

815
00:44:23.559 --> 00:44:25.639
<v Speaker 2>Now to tie in the whole marrying your cousin thing,

816
00:44:25.719 --> 00:44:28.079
<v Speaker 2>we're gonna be talking about old Omar and how she

817
00:44:28.159 --> 00:44:30.719
<v Speaker 2>married her brother to get citizenship into the United States

818
00:44:30.760 --> 00:44:33.440
<v Speaker 2>in a bit. But to circle back to this conversation

819
00:44:33.480 --> 00:44:38.199
<v Speaker 2>with Somalians in Minnesota, they come to America, cool, no problems,

820
00:44:38.320 --> 00:44:41.599
<v Speaker 2>good for you, welcome, hope you get on your feet.

821
00:44:41.920 --> 00:44:46.440
<v Speaker 2>They take advantage of American's kind nature, which I understand

822
00:44:46.440 --> 00:44:47.599
<v Speaker 2>there is gonna be a lot of people that think

823
00:44:47.719 --> 00:44:50.280
<v Speaker 2>they're gonna scoff that I just made that comment. Once again,

824
00:44:50.639 --> 00:44:54.079
<v Speaker 2>your standard American is a lot kinder natured than your

825
00:44:54.159 --> 00:44:57.159
<v Speaker 2>standard Somalian living in Somalia. Right now, I don't think

826
00:44:57.199 --> 00:45:00.679
<v Speaker 2>that's a hot take either. They take advantage of our systems,

827
00:45:00.679 --> 00:45:03.360
<v Speaker 2>They take advantage of our policies and our nonprofits and

828
00:45:03.400 --> 00:45:06.039
<v Speaker 2>all these things, and then they end up funneling this

829
00:45:06.199 --> 00:45:11.760
<v Speaker 2>money back to Somalia to fun terrorist groups. It's wild,

830
00:45:11.760 --> 00:45:14.719
<v Speaker 2>but all right, how did this all start? How did

831
00:45:14.960 --> 00:45:18.280
<v Speaker 2>the Somalians really get such a foothold in Minnesota. I

832
00:45:18.320 --> 00:45:21.079
<v Speaker 2>got an article pulled up here. This is from Menpost

833
00:45:21.199 --> 00:45:24.400
<v Speaker 2>dot com Minnesota Post dot com and is actually dated

834
00:45:24.400 --> 00:45:26.599
<v Speaker 2>back to twenty seventeen. But this will give us a

835
00:45:26.639 --> 00:45:30.159
<v Speaker 2>good snapshot as to how and why they have taken

836
00:45:30.360 --> 00:45:32.920
<v Speaker 2>over this area in the way that they have. The

837
00:45:33.000 --> 00:45:37.480
<v Speaker 2>complicated reality behind the story of the Somali community's success

838
00:45:37.480 --> 00:45:44.519
<v Speaker 2>in Minnesota. I'm using success very loosely. When abdurrah Ham, Abdirahman,

839
00:45:44.960 --> 00:45:50.199
<v Speaker 2>Kaihen Jesus these names. When Oabe came to the US

840
00:45:50.239 --> 00:45:52.239
<v Speaker 2>two decades ago, one of the first things he noticed

841
00:45:52.239 --> 00:45:56.599
<v Speaker 2>about Minnesotans was their love of restaurants, especially those offering

842
00:45:56.679 --> 00:46:00.920
<v Speaker 2>ethnic cuisine, which again at South Caama that of course

843
00:46:00.960 --> 00:46:03.840
<v Speaker 2>they're gonna like something with some flavor. He also noticed

844
00:46:03.880 --> 00:46:06.760
<v Speaker 2>that though there were a lot of ethnic eateries in

845
00:46:06.800 --> 00:46:09.599
<v Speaker 2>the Twin Cities, many tended to fall into one of

846
00:46:09.639 --> 00:46:14.760
<v Speaker 2>several groups Italian, Thai, Indian, Mexican, or Middle Eastern. There

847
00:46:14.760 --> 00:46:18.119
<v Speaker 2>are very few, if any, places to get decent Somali food,

848
00:46:18.559 --> 00:46:21.719
<v Speaker 2>which I feel like is a bit of a misnomer, because,

849
00:46:21.760 --> 00:46:24.880
<v Speaker 2>as we just talked about, Somalians themselves don't have food.

850
00:46:24.920 --> 00:46:27.280
<v Speaker 2>But all right, it's the same as like saying an

851
00:46:27.320 --> 00:46:31.760
<v Speaker 2>Ethiopian restaurant, like, have you ever had Ethiopian food? Because

852
00:46:31.800 --> 00:46:32.840
<v Speaker 2>neither of eat Theopians.

853
00:46:33.039 --> 00:46:35.920
<v Speaker 1>But all right, that's so horrible.

854
00:46:36.239 --> 00:46:40.119
<v Speaker 2>I'm sorry. Are you gonna tell me I'm lying? Are

855
00:46:40.119 --> 00:46:41.000
<v Speaker 2>you gonna say Italian?

856
00:46:41.920 --> 00:46:44.000
<v Speaker 1>And they have their own food, and they are own

857
00:46:44.320 --> 00:46:46.920
<v Speaker 1>spices and things that they when they are not in

858
00:46:47.000 --> 00:46:49.880
<v Speaker 1>a drought or a famine. They have culture.

859
00:46:50.639 --> 00:46:52.880
<v Speaker 2>I don't. I didn't say they don't have culture. I'm

860
00:46:52.880 --> 00:46:54.400
<v Speaker 2>saying the culture eat.

861
00:46:54.400 --> 00:46:56.199
<v Speaker 1>Food in their type of food.

862
00:46:58.000 --> 00:47:00.639
<v Speaker 2>Anyway, although I will say before I left DC and

863
00:47:00.679 --> 00:47:02.880
<v Speaker 2>twenty fourteen, I saw that they had to eat the

864
00:47:02.920 --> 00:47:06.239
<v Speaker 2>open restaurant open up. I went by just to look

865
00:47:06.239 --> 00:47:09.920
<v Speaker 2>at what their menu was. Y'all could have that Africa

866
00:47:09.960 --> 00:47:13.000
<v Speaker 2>has a lot of really good food, like they do

867
00:47:13.079 --> 00:47:18.440
<v Speaker 2>as a continent. They have tons of food the cuisine

868
00:47:19.119 --> 00:47:22.519
<v Speaker 2>of that section of Africa. Then they can keep that

869
00:47:22.800 --> 00:47:25.840
<v Speaker 2>more good over here. Anyway, moving on, it says within

870
00:47:25.840 --> 00:47:29.280
<v Speaker 2>a few years Kaheen made Afro Deli into one of

871
00:47:29.320 --> 00:47:32.679
<v Speaker 2>the most successful immigrant owned businesses in the state. Today,

872
00:47:32.760 --> 00:47:35.480
<v Speaker 2>it features two twin city locations. A third is planned

873
00:47:35.519 --> 00:47:37.719
<v Speaker 2>and this again twenty seventeen, so they may have a

874
00:47:37.719 --> 00:47:41.400
<v Speaker 2>third location open now and a thriving catering business that

875
00:47:41.480 --> 00:47:44.559
<v Speaker 2>counts like the likes of General Mills and target among

876
00:47:44.599 --> 00:47:50.639
<v Speaker 2>its corporate clients. Interesting. Kaheen is a classic American success story,

877
00:47:50.639 --> 00:47:55.639
<v Speaker 2>of course, but he also personifies what's become a conspicuous

878
00:47:55.800 --> 00:48:00.559
<v Speaker 2>data point in the increasingly common narrative about Minnesota's Somali community.

879
00:48:00.960 --> 00:48:03.639
<v Speaker 2>Over the last several years, researchers and government officials from

880
00:48:03.679 --> 00:48:06.239
<v Speaker 2>Europe in different parts of the US have regularly visited

881
00:48:06.280 --> 00:48:10.119
<v Speaker 2>the Twin Cities to learn about the East African Muslim communities.

882
00:48:10.159 --> 00:48:15.199
<v Speaker 2>Political and economic success is a direct quote here. Minneapolis

883
00:48:15.239 --> 00:48:18.719
<v Speaker 2>is viewed around the world, particularly in Scandinavian countries where

884
00:48:18.760 --> 00:48:22.559
<v Speaker 2>the Somali diaspora is growing, as a model for Somali

885
00:48:22.679 --> 00:48:27.320
<v Speaker 2>integration rights. Stephanie Chambers, a political science professor at Trinity College,

886
00:48:27.559 --> 00:48:31.239
<v Speaker 2>in her recently published book comparing the Somali American communities

887
00:48:31.440 --> 00:48:36.039
<v Speaker 2>in Minneapolis to Columbus, Ohio, shout out to the Ohio Somalis.

888
00:48:36.599 --> 00:48:39.960
<v Speaker 2>Other American mayors, such as mayor of Portland, Oregon, have

889
00:48:40.079 --> 00:48:43.039
<v Speaker 2>visited Minneapolis to learn about policies that can help their

890
00:48:43.079 --> 00:48:47.039
<v Speaker 2>cities be better addressed the needs of Somali immigrants. For

891
00:48:47.159 --> 00:48:50.159
<v Speaker 2>all the talk of success and integration, however, the more

892
00:48:50.199 --> 00:48:53.559
<v Speaker 2>common reality for Somali Americans in Minnesota is more complicated,

893
00:48:53.679 --> 00:48:56.960
<v Speaker 2>if less comforting. From the outside, the community seems to

894
00:48:56.960 --> 00:48:59.679
<v Speaker 2>be doing really great. This is from Ahmad Yusa, a

895
00:48:59.719 --> 00:49:04.119
<v Speaker 2>Mini Appolis public schools teacher who's written about Somali's in Minnesota,

896
00:49:04.159 --> 00:49:07.360
<v Speaker 2>which also, if I'm not mistaken, Ahmad Yusef also was

897
00:49:07.599 --> 00:49:11.559
<v Speaker 2>in the mix of this fraud scandal. We're all clear.

898
00:49:11.559 --> 00:49:13.960
<v Speaker 2>I think his name actually just got brought up for

899
00:49:13.960 --> 00:49:16.239
<v Speaker 2>the seven point two million dollar case that just got

900
00:49:16.239 --> 00:49:19.519
<v Speaker 2>thrown out. He and his wife. But okay, he's a

901
00:49:19.519 --> 00:49:22.880
<v Speaker 2>public school teacher. Okay, but when you look deep down,

902
00:49:22.960 --> 00:49:26.159
<v Speaker 2>we're struggling big time, except for a few individuals have

903
00:49:26.320 --> 00:49:28.599
<v Speaker 2>risen above as cream of the crop.

904
00:49:29.360 --> 00:49:31.639
<v Speaker 1>So the six him embezzling money.

905
00:49:31.880 --> 00:49:35.599
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, yeah, because you know, he's a public school teacher

906
00:49:35.599 --> 00:49:38.239
<v Speaker 2>and they don't make shit, which I mean, there's a

907
00:49:38.239 --> 00:49:40.320
<v Speaker 2>lot of people have opinions on that teachers are not

908
00:49:40.400 --> 00:49:42.760
<v Speaker 2>respected to the level that they once were, And I

909
00:49:42.800 --> 00:49:45.039
<v Speaker 2>would argue because most of them have no business being

910
00:49:45.039 --> 00:49:46.920
<v Speaker 2>in a classroom or in front of children. But that's

911
00:49:46.920 --> 00:49:50.159
<v Speaker 2>a talk for another day. But anyway, this guy decided

912
00:49:50.199 --> 00:49:52.840
<v Speaker 2>that you know, Ola Maud Yusef, he figured, hey, if

913
00:49:52.840 --> 00:49:54.599
<v Speaker 2>you can't beat him, join them. So he just started

914
00:49:54.599 --> 00:49:58.119
<v Speaker 2>embezzling money to the tune of over seven million dollars.

915
00:49:58.480 --> 00:50:01.840
<v Speaker 2>And then when it was discovered and a jury said guilty,

916
00:50:02.199 --> 00:50:04.159
<v Speaker 2>the judges threw it out.

917
00:50:04.480 --> 00:50:07.199
<v Speaker 1>I bet you they put gave him so much money,

918
00:50:08.000 --> 00:50:09.400
<v Speaker 1>so much money.

919
00:50:09.079 --> 00:50:11.400
<v Speaker 2>And they even showed that was like eighty thousand of

920
00:50:11.440 --> 00:50:15.440
<v Speaker 2>that was spent on luxury clothing. Like we just learned that's.

921
00:50:15.280 --> 00:50:18.639
<v Speaker 1>Not that difficult. It is not that difficult to buy

922
00:50:18.679 --> 00:50:19.000
<v Speaker 1>that much.

923
00:50:19.320 --> 00:50:22.119
<v Speaker 2>It's not if I got seven million dollars, I would

924
00:50:22.159 --> 00:50:25.000
<v Speaker 2>be investing that money to turn that into seven hundred

925
00:50:25.039 --> 00:50:28.519
<v Speaker 2>million dollars. I don't know. Maybe I'm just crazy for that,

926
00:50:30.159 --> 00:50:31.360
<v Speaker 2>but like that's I wouldn't.

927
00:50:31.400 --> 00:50:33.440
<v Speaker 1>I would not go on a shopping spree.

928
00:50:33.639 --> 00:50:37.760
<v Speaker 2>No, not no, especially if you're only running that bit

929
00:50:37.840 --> 00:50:40.920
<v Speaker 2>for two years. In two years, you got that much money,

930
00:50:41.280 --> 00:50:45.079
<v Speaker 2>you think maybe well, I mean that's the thing. They're

931
00:50:45.079 --> 00:50:47.559
<v Speaker 2>som Aliens, so they don't understand what, like how al

932
00:50:47.599 --> 00:50:50.599
<v Speaker 2>Capone got taken down was for income tax evasion, right,

933
00:50:50.639 --> 00:50:53.159
<v Speaker 2>and they don't understand how the Treasury officers will absolutely

934
00:50:53.239 --> 00:50:55.079
<v Speaker 2>kick in your door if you ain't given Uncle Sam

935
00:50:55.119 --> 00:50:55.719
<v Speaker 2>his cut.

936
00:50:55.920 --> 00:50:58.880
<v Speaker 1>So like I've been here for twenty six thousands of

937
00:50:58.920 --> 00:51:02.800
<v Speaker 1>them have come in over the last you know what decade,

938
00:51:03.079 --> 00:51:05.159
<v Speaker 1>but there's quite a few of them that have been

939
00:51:05.159 --> 00:51:08.760
<v Speaker 1>here for a few decades. They understand pop culture, I'm sure.

940
00:51:09.079 --> 00:51:11.519
<v Speaker 2>But that's my point. If it's a Somali business owner,

941
00:51:11.679 --> 00:51:13.480
<v Speaker 2>I bet he understand what. I don't mean the pop

942
00:51:13.480 --> 00:51:16.599
<v Speaker 2>culture of Al Capone. I mean how American tax laws work,

943
00:51:17.039 --> 00:51:21.119
<v Speaker 2>and how even the upper echelon of the criminal organizations

944
00:51:21.119 --> 00:51:24.199
<v Speaker 2>in America still give Uncle Sam his cut because they

945
00:51:24.199 --> 00:51:28.199
<v Speaker 2>ain't trying to go down like Capone did. I'm thinking, oh,

946
00:51:28.280 --> 00:51:30.320
<v Speaker 2>yes they will. But that being said, if it was

947
00:51:30.360 --> 00:51:33.239
<v Speaker 2>a Somali business owner, I bet they learned pretty quickly

948
00:51:33.280 --> 00:51:36.159
<v Speaker 2>about how American tax laws work. A school teacher who

949
00:51:36.159 --> 00:51:38.679
<v Speaker 2>decided to start taking some money on some fraud shit,

950
00:51:39.199 --> 00:51:41.400
<v Speaker 2>I have a feeling he maybe he doesn't understand the

951
00:51:41.400 --> 00:51:43.840
<v Speaker 2>ins and outs of how to play the game. I

952
00:51:43.840 --> 00:51:47.440
<v Speaker 2>don't know, could be wrong anyway. Here so the story

953
00:51:47.480 --> 00:51:50.519
<v Speaker 2>of a success story. The history of Somali Americans and

954
00:51:50.559 --> 00:51:54.119
<v Speaker 2>Minnesota echoes that of many immigrant communities in the United States.

955
00:51:54.239 --> 00:51:57.119
<v Speaker 2>When the first waves of Somali's arrived in Minnesota in

956
00:51:57.159 --> 00:52:00.679
<v Speaker 2>the early nineteen nineties, many enter the workforce via unskilled

957
00:52:00.800 --> 00:52:04.039
<v Speaker 2>jobs at meat packing plants where the work didn't require

958
00:52:04.079 --> 00:52:07.960
<v Speaker 2>prior work experience, advanced degrees, or fluency in English. But

959
00:52:08.039 --> 00:52:11.440
<v Speaker 2>as the community grew and as more Somali immigrants improved

960
00:52:11.440 --> 00:52:14.880
<v Speaker 2>their English skills and earned career credentials, they branched out

961
00:52:14.920 --> 00:52:19.320
<v Speaker 2>into more industrious and professions. Included industries and professions rather

962
00:52:19.400 --> 00:52:22.880
<v Speaker 2>including work helping local and state government agencies bridge the

963
00:52:22.880 --> 00:52:26.079
<v Speaker 2>cultural gap between service providers and the growing number of

964
00:52:26.159 --> 00:52:30.239
<v Speaker 2>Somali clients in Minnesota. They also started small businesses. Today,

965
00:52:30.440 --> 00:52:33.719
<v Speaker 2>though Somali Americans are in almost every sector of Minnesota's

966
00:52:33.719 --> 00:52:37.679
<v Speaker 2>workforce and are particularly well represented in health, education, and

967
00:52:37.760 --> 00:52:40.639
<v Speaker 2>financial service industries. Yeah, I'm just going to leave that

968
00:52:40.679 --> 00:52:44.960
<v Speaker 2>one there. Perhaps their most conspicuous presence of Minnesota, especially

969
00:52:45.000 --> 00:52:54.039
<v Speaker 2>in Minneapolis. To that, sentences written weird due to small businesses,

970
00:52:54.360 --> 00:52:57.559
<v Speaker 2>the myriad of restaurants, coffee shops, and clothing stores that

971
00:52:57.639 --> 00:53:00.840
<v Speaker 2>tend to be concentrated in certain neighborhoods where Somali's work,

972
00:53:00.920 --> 00:53:04.400
<v Speaker 2>live and socialize. At the same time, Somali Americans have

973
00:53:04.599 --> 00:53:08.760
<v Speaker 2>also found their way in local politics. In twenty thirteen,

974
00:53:08.800 --> 00:53:14.039
<v Speaker 2>Minneapolis elected its first Somali American City Council member Abdi Warsam.

975
00:53:14.599 --> 00:53:19.760
<v Speaker 2>The next year, Sayad Ali was elected the Minneapolis school Board,

976
00:53:20.199 --> 00:53:24.000
<v Speaker 2>and last year Ilhan Omar became the first Somali American

977
00:53:24.079 --> 00:53:28.000
<v Speaker 2>to be elected to a state legislature. Again put a

978
00:53:28.000 --> 00:53:31.079
<v Speaker 2>pin in her. She's really a horrible, horrible human being.

979
00:53:32.000 --> 00:53:35.679
<v Speaker 2>Those two factors, the community's entrepreneurship and growing political clout,

980
00:53:35.960 --> 00:53:38.880
<v Speaker 2>has formed a major part of the narrative about Somali's success,

981
00:53:39.119 --> 00:53:43.840
<v Speaker 2>especially among those who compare Somalis in Minnesota to those

982
00:53:43.880 --> 00:53:46.920
<v Speaker 2>in other parts of the world. When officials from Sweden

983
00:53:47.000 --> 00:53:50.599
<v Speaker 2>started visiting Minnesota, for example, they made a point of connection,

984
00:53:51.599 --> 00:53:55.760
<v Speaker 2>connecting with entrepreneurs to understand how they managed to establish

985
00:53:55.840 --> 00:53:59.199
<v Speaker 2>their shops. One of the entrepreneurs they met was Kahem,

986
00:53:59.639 --> 00:54:02.599
<v Speaker 2>the Afro Deli owner we were talking about earlier, who

987
00:54:02.679 --> 00:54:04.760
<v Speaker 2>told the group that many in the community go into

988
00:54:04.800 --> 00:54:07.719
<v Speaker 2>business trying to serve the Somali population in a place

989
00:54:07.760 --> 00:54:10.840
<v Speaker 2>where it's relatively easy to start a business, which isn't

990
00:54:10.880 --> 00:54:13.719
<v Speaker 2>the case in Sweden. This is a problem that we

991
00:54:13.760 --> 00:54:16.119
<v Speaker 2>need to address in our government in order to for

992
00:54:16.159 --> 00:54:19.079
<v Speaker 2>the Somalis to have freedom to establish businesses like here.

993
00:54:19.239 --> 00:54:22.480
<v Speaker 2>That's from one of the Swedish Association of Public Housing.

994
00:54:23.199 --> 00:54:26.599
<v Speaker 2>That was a statement from twenty twelve. But anyway, so

995
00:54:26.760 --> 00:54:29.719
<v Speaker 2>this episode or this article, it's talking about how the

996
00:54:29.760 --> 00:54:32.280
<v Speaker 2>Somalis are doing better in Minneapolis, and a lot of

997
00:54:32.320 --> 00:54:36.039
<v Speaker 2>them are business owners, some got into local politics and

998
00:54:36.320 --> 00:54:41.159
<v Speaker 2>all finding good, all finding good. Right now, we jump

999
00:54:41.239 --> 00:54:45.440
<v Speaker 2>to today where Trump is calling for an end to

1000
00:54:45.519 --> 00:54:50.360
<v Speaker 2>the temporary protected status and this is being overly politicized

1001
00:54:50.440 --> 00:54:53.880
<v Speaker 2>right now. Trump arrangement syndrome is a hardcore thing. I

1002
00:54:54.000 --> 00:54:56.599
<v Speaker 2>understand that there's a side of the coin that anything

1003
00:54:56.599 --> 00:54:59.280
<v Speaker 2>that Trump says or does they think is literally the

1004
00:54:59.280 --> 00:55:01.440
<v Speaker 2>word of God, and it has to be because their

1005
00:55:01.480 --> 00:55:04.320
<v Speaker 2>Lord and savior, Donnie T said so. And the other

1006
00:55:04.360 --> 00:55:06.480
<v Speaker 2>side of the aisle thinks that everything he does is

1007
00:55:06.559 --> 00:55:09.519
<v Speaker 2>literally the word of Satan because Donnie T said so.

1008
00:55:09.800 --> 00:55:11.480
<v Speaker 2>There's very few people that are in the gray on

1009
00:55:11.519 --> 00:55:15.360
<v Speaker 2>this one. With that being said, whenever he talks about

1010
00:55:15.400 --> 00:55:20.760
<v Speaker 2>removing the temporary protected status for Somalians in Minnesota, Oh,

1011
00:55:20.880 --> 00:55:23.639
<v Speaker 2>the people have taken to the streets on this one.

1012
00:55:24.400 --> 00:55:27.519
<v Speaker 2>Let's get into it here. This is from mprnews dot org.

1013
00:55:27.559 --> 00:55:29.239
<v Speaker 2>So you already know it's going to be very biased,

1014
00:55:29.440 --> 00:55:33.039
<v Speaker 2>But all right, hundreds packed a Hall of Caramel Mall

1015
00:55:33.199 --> 00:55:36.119
<v Speaker 2>on Sunday to gather in solidarity with the Somali community

1016
00:55:36.440 --> 00:55:39.599
<v Speaker 2>after President Trump called for elimination of a program that

1017
00:55:39.679 --> 00:55:43.280
<v Speaker 2>offers temporary protective status for people from the country. Trump

1018
00:55:43.360 --> 00:55:47.119
<v Speaker 2>dean Minnesota a hub of fraudulent money laundering activity in

1019
00:55:47.199 --> 00:55:51.119
<v Speaker 2>social media posts on Friday, and he alleged without providing proof,

1020
00:55:51.159 --> 00:55:57.119
<v Speaker 2>that Somali gangs were terrorizing the state. I you know, listen,

1021
00:55:57.760 --> 00:56:00.920
<v Speaker 2>I don't know what kind of I'm rate proof you

1022
00:56:01.000 --> 00:56:03.400
<v Speaker 2>need to prove that. But the first statement that was

1023
00:56:03.440 --> 00:56:06.199
<v Speaker 2>made about the money laundering schemes that were done by Somemollians.

1024
00:56:06.239 --> 00:56:09.360
<v Speaker 2>That's that's actual, verified, factual information.

1025
00:56:10.320 --> 00:56:15.639
<v Speaker 1>I don't know what the current rates are, smalling. Do

1026
00:56:15.719 --> 00:56:20.280
<v Speaker 1>they even take that into consideration when they are booking people?

1027
00:56:20.440 --> 00:56:22.239
<v Speaker 1>I mean, I know that they do black and white

1028
00:56:22.360 --> 00:56:26.360
<v Speaker 1>because that's a whole recently racially charged thing as well,

1029
00:56:26.880 --> 00:56:29.440
<v Speaker 1>But do they even like book Have you ever looked

1030
00:56:29.440 --> 00:56:32.800
<v Speaker 1>at how the categories, how they created the categories. There's

1031
00:56:32.840 --> 00:56:34.800
<v Speaker 1>a history to it, which we're not going to get

1032
00:56:34.880 --> 00:56:37.400
<v Speaker 1>super deep into, but there's a history as to why

1033
00:56:37.480 --> 00:56:43.840
<v Speaker 1>they did the categorizing of people in America from like black, white, Hispanic,

1034
00:56:43.960 --> 00:56:47.039
<v Speaker 1>Native American, all of that. It's a it's a really

1035
00:56:47.039 --> 00:56:51.039
<v Speaker 1>interesting history to like randomly look at people. But I'm

1036
00:56:51.119 --> 00:56:54.159
<v Speaker 1>just curious, do they actually when they arrest people, are

1037
00:56:54.159 --> 00:56:58.519
<v Speaker 1>they putting smallian on their thing or they just well

1038
00:56:58.679 --> 00:57:00.320
<v Speaker 1>now other So I'm I.

1039
00:57:00.320 --> 00:57:03.000
<v Speaker 2>Don't know if there are Samali national who's here on

1040
00:57:03.119 --> 00:57:05.320
<v Speaker 2>protected status. That's gonna it's gonna.

1041
00:57:05.119 --> 00:57:07.679
<v Speaker 1>Show me like seven hundred though, isn't it like seven

1042
00:57:07.760 --> 00:57:10.559
<v Speaker 1>hundred and thirty eight or seventy or something like that,

1043
00:57:10.679 --> 00:57:13.760
<v Speaker 1>out of the seventy six thousand that are just in

1044
00:57:13.800 --> 00:57:17.480
<v Speaker 1>Minnesota and the thirty to forty thousand that are in Ohio, so.

1045
00:57:17.679 --> 00:57:20.480
<v Speaker 2>Which that's what kills me. Now, all those seventy thousand,

1046
00:57:20.880 --> 00:57:24.719
<v Speaker 2>most of them, the vast majority of them have attained

1047
00:57:24.719 --> 00:57:25.920
<v Speaker 2>the US citizenship.

1048
00:57:26.719 --> 00:57:28.360
<v Speaker 1>I was gonna say, I mean, if they were born

1049
00:57:28.400 --> 00:57:30.000
<v Speaker 1>in America then.

1050
00:57:30.360 --> 00:57:33.159
<v Speaker 2>So most of them got here in the nineties.

1051
00:57:34.760 --> 00:57:37.039
<v Speaker 1>It's said that there was like twenty six thousands that

1052
00:57:37.079 --> 00:57:40.800
<v Speaker 1>have came here since then, but like the ones that

1053
00:57:41.000 --> 00:57:43.800
<v Speaker 1>were here, I wonder how many people came in the nineties.

1054
00:57:43.880 --> 00:57:48.599
<v Speaker 1>But even so, seration, you at least have kids, so

1055
00:57:48.639 --> 00:57:50.800
<v Speaker 1>like most of them have gained citizenship.

1056
00:57:50.920 --> 00:57:53.599
<v Speaker 2>So, but that's my point. Whenever we hear all these

1057
00:57:53.639 --> 00:57:56.719
<v Speaker 2>other immigrants saying it's so hard to get us citizenship,

1058
00:57:57.280 --> 00:58:02.159
<v Speaker 2>these people did it and started businesses, and they somewhat

1059
00:58:02.239 --> 00:58:05.320
<v Speaker 2>integrated into American society to the point of like, you know,

1060
00:58:05.679 --> 00:58:08.639
<v Speaker 2>embezzlement and tax fraud, but like whatever. You know, some

1061
00:58:08.679 --> 00:58:11.719
<v Speaker 2>people would say that's the American way. Actually, but neither

1062
00:58:11.800 --> 00:58:14.119
<v Speaker 2>here nor there. Even if it is on the lower

1063
00:58:14.239 --> 00:58:17.559
<v Speaker 2>end of the seventy thousand that are here, only seven

1064
00:58:17.719 --> 00:58:22.039
<v Speaker 2>hundred in Minnesota have the protected status. So when Trump

1065
00:58:22.079 --> 00:58:24.639
<v Speaker 2>is talking about removing this, he's talking about sending less

1066
00:58:24.639 --> 00:58:28.599
<v Speaker 2>than a thousand people back to Somalia, and the seventy

1067
00:58:28.679 --> 00:58:34.079
<v Speaker 2>thousand are losing their shit over this right now. But okay, actually,

1068
00:58:34.119 --> 00:58:36.639
<v Speaker 2>while I'm reading this, look up what the crime statistics

1069
00:58:36.679 --> 00:58:38.880
<v Speaker 2>are from Minnesota as a whole and Sea.

1070
00:58:38.800 --> 00:58:39.519
<v Speaker 1>I'm looking at right now.

1071
00:58:39.599 --> 00:58:43.960
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I'm just curious how many violent crimes because I

1072
00:58:44.599 --> 00:58:46.000
<v Speaker 2>I could be wrong here, but I have a hard

1073
00:58:46.000 --> 00:58:48.719
<v Speaker 2>time believing that the Somalians are coming to America to

1074
00:58:48.760 --> 00:58:51.320
<v Speaker 2>become drug dealers. You know. I have a feeling that,

1075
00:58:51.320 --> 00:58:53.480
<v Speaker 2>if anything, it's going to be probably violent crimes. If

1076
00:58:53.480 --> 00:58:55.880
<v Speaker 2>they're going to go that route with it. But okay, fine,

1077
00:58:56.159 --> 00:58:59.559
<v Speaker 2>moving on here. So Trump dan Minnesota, like I said,

1078
00:58:59.559 --> 00:59:02.960
<v Speaker 2>a hub of fraudulent money laundering activity, and he also

1079
00:59:03.039 --> 00:59:06.599
<v Speaker 2>alleged that Somali gangs were terrorized in the state. So far,

1080
00:59:06.920 --> 00:59:10.960
<v Speaker 2>seventy seven people. Actually that's an older time. As of now,

1081
00:59:10.960 --> 00:59:14.039
<v Speaker 2>it's seventy eight people have been charged in connection with

1082
00:59:14.079 --> 00:59:17.719
<v Speaker 2>a scheme to defraud a COVID nineteen era child nutrition

1083
00:59:17.880 --> 00:59:21.679
<v Speaker 2>program that was largely through the nonprofit group Feeding Our Future,

1084
00:59:21.960 --> 00:59:26.159
<v Speaker 2>and the federal officials have charged others with alleged misuse

1085
00:59:26.280 --> 00:59:29.760
<v Speaker 2>of state medicaid programs intended to provide autism treatment and

1086
00:59:29.880 --> 00:59:33.920
<v Speaker 2>housing stabilization services. Some people that have been charged and

1087
00:59:33.960 --> 00:59:37.639
<v Speaker 2>convicted in these cases came to Minnesota from Somalia, although

1088
00:59:37.679 --> 00:59:40.079
<v Speaker 2>it's not clear that any of them are on temporary

1089
00:59:40.119 --> 00:59:43.960
<v Speaker 2>protected status. A Trump administration official on Sunday suggested that

1090
00:59:44.000 --> 00:59:47.119
<v Speaker 2>the program's elimination could take time. The call for its

1091
00:59:47.199 --> 00:59:50.760
<v Speaker 2>ending struck fear in members of the Somali community in Minnesota.

1092
00:59:50.920 --> 00:59:55.079
<v Speaker 2>Khalid Omar or kalid Omar, it's like dj Khalit's how

1093
00:59:55.079 --> 00:59:59.159
<v Speaker 2>it's spelled. A new one. A community organizer with Isaiah

1094
01:00:00.599 --> 01:00:04.199
<v Speaker 2>I s a I ah all right said the post

1095
01:00:04.239 --> 01:00:07.800
<v Speaker 2>put a target on the backs of Somalis in Minnesota,

1096
01:00:07.920 --> 01:00:11.480
<v Speaker 2>a year after Trump made negative comments before a Bloomington

1097
01:00:11.639 --> 01:00:16.159
<v Speaker 2>mosque was bombed. Okay, I don't believe that that mosque

1098
01:00:16.239 --> 01:00:21.079
<v Speaker 2>was bombed by somebody outside of the Somali community. I'm

1099
01:00:21.079 --> 01:00:22.880
<v Speaker 2>just gonna go ahead and call it. Think that was

1100
01:00:22.880 --> 01:00:28.239
<v Speaker 2>probably internal. But okay, sure uh. He decided to also

1101
01:00:28.320 --> 01:00:31.280
<v Speaker 2>pit our communities against each other and attack our community.

1102
01:00:31.559 --> 01:00:35.320
<v Speaker 2>And what we're saying is that is a distraction. Omar said,

1103
01:00:35.480 --> 01:00:37.840
<v Speaker 2>that's the woman that we were gonna talk about in

1104
01:00:37.840 --> 01:00:40.519
<v Speaker 2>a bit. The reality is that people are struggling. Our

1105
01:00:40.559 --> 01:00:44.239
<v Speaker 2>communities are struggling, and when one of our communities gets attacked,

1106
01:00:44.519 --> 01:00:47.800
<v Speaker 2>the way we react is we come together as Minnesotans,

1107
01:00:48.320 --> 01:00:51.280
<v Speaker 2>have a meal together. I don't know what that had

1108
01:00:51.320 --> 01:00:55.599
<v Speaker 2>to do with anything, elan Omar, but okay. Members of

1109
01:00:55.599 --> 01:00:59.000
<v Speaker 2>the faith community, local elected officials, and others joined a

1110
01:00:59.079 --> 01:01:03.880
<v Speaker 2>local Somalies for a potluck of samboosas fruit plates, mac

1111
01:01:03.920 --> 01:01:07.400
<v Speaker 2>and cheese, and trays of cookies and pies. I honestly

1112
01:01:07.400 --> 01:01:11.360
<v Speaker 2>cannot think of anything more American, more Minnesotan than a potluck,

1113
01:01:11.920 --> 01:01:15.760
<v Speaker 2>said pastor Martha Bardwell of our saviors at Lutheran Church

1114
01:01:15.880 --> 01:01:19.119
<v Speaker 2>in Minneapolis. This is what the event is all about.

1115
01:01:19.199 --> 01:01:21.840
<v Speaker 2>And yet our president would have us believe us non

1116
01:01:21.880 --> 01:01:25.719
<v Speaker 2>Somalies believe that the Somalis are terrorizing our communities. We

1117
01:01:25.840 --> 01:01:29.159
<v Speaker 2>know that's not true, even though we literally just learned

1118
01:01:29.199 --> 01:01:33.920
<v Speaker 2>that they're embezzling billions of dollars to fund Samali terrorist groups.

1119
01:01:33.960 --> 01:01:35.079
<v Speaker 2>But we'll get to all that.

1120
01:01:35.280 --> 01:01:38.719
<v Speaker 1>They actually they don't have as they don't actually have

1121
01:01:38.760 --> 01:01:42.639
<v Speaker 1>it listed categorized by the way, I will say that

1122
01:01:42.760 --> 01:01:48.440
<v Speaker 1>it says in all other counties. So they have pretty

1123
01:01:48.519 --> 01:01:52.360
<v Speaker 1>much average statistics when it comes to different stuff. Their

1124
01:01:52.920 --> 01:01:57.639
<v Speaker 1>most egregious quote unquote simple is simple as salt is

1125
01:01:57.760 --> 01:02:00.679
<v Speaker 1>going to be aggravated as salt is on they but

1126
01:02:00.800 --> 01:02:05.719
<v Speaker 1>their normal are their average for robbery, rape, and murder

1127
01:02:06.320 --> 01:02:10.199
<v Speaker 1>pretty much stayed the same across the board for all counties.

1128
01:02:10.400 --> 01:02:13.519
<v Speaker 2>They had from wind to Wayne. What time frame we're talking.

1129
01:02:14.639 --> 01:02:17.599
<v Speaker 1>From twenty twenty to twenty twenty four, Okay, so they

1130
01:02:17.599 --> 01:02:21.679
<v Speaker 1>went up. So twenty twenty one saw aggravated assault rise

1131
01:02:21.840 --> 01:02:25.480
<v Speaker 1>two thousand, and it's gone down about one thousand since

1132
01:02:25.519 --> 01:02:29.000
<v Speaker 1>then to from twenty twenty one till now or at

1133
01:02:29.039 --> 01:02:31.719
<v Speaker 1>least twenty twenty four from the report. They don't list

1134
01:02:31.760 --> 01:02:34.119
<v Speaker 1>it out by They listed by crimes, they don't list

1135
01:02:34.199 --> 01:02:38.519
<v Speaker 1>it out by who committed the crimes. The biggest things

1136
01:02:38.639 --> 01:02:42.840
<v Speaker 1>that they have is destruction and damaged and vandalizing of property,

1137
01:02:43.599 --> 01:02:51.679
<v Speaker 1>shoplifting motor vehicle stuff, and simple assault. They're averaging around

1138
01:02:52.320 --> 01:02:56.880
<v Speaker 1>twenty four thousand those things. Overall. They had three cases

1139
01:02:56.920 --> 01:02:59.960
<v Speaker 1>of incest. I thought that was really weird.

1140
01:03:00.880 --> 01:03:03.360
<v Speaker 2>Up into and including the state congresswoman.

1141
01:03:03.760 --> 01:03:08.719
<v Speaker 1>I was like, huh, okay, it doesn't.

1142
01:03:08.400 --> 01:03:11.800
<v Speaker 2>That's their culture being insensitive. It's like, do y'all not

1143
01:03:11.960 --> 01:03:14.519
<v Speaker 2>know how these down syndrome babies get might? Okay?

1144
01:03:14.559 --> 01:03:18.440
<v Speaker 1>Anyway, sodomy and sexual assault was an object was thirty

1145
01:03:18.480 --> 01:03:22.960
<v Speaker 1>percent of their sexual Their sexual assault stuff. I thought

1146
01:03:22.960 --> 01:03:26.760
<v Speaker 1>that was really weird. But yeah, they have Intimidation was

1147
01:03:26.840 --> 01:03:29.679
<v Speaker 1>over ten thousand pieces.

1148
01:03:29.920 --> 01:03:32.480
<v Speaker 2>But again that's not inherent to Somalians. Is it?

1149
01:03:33.400 --> 01:03:36.119
<v Speaker 1>Nothing that I can find is actually breaking down who's

1150
01:03:36.199 --> 01:03:39.760
<v Speaker 1>committing these crimes. They just have like a total of

1151
01:03:40.159 --> 01:03:44.559
<v Speaker 1>different crimes, and they laid out how many crimes happened first,

1152
01:03:44.800 --> 01:03:47.440
<v Speaker 1>you know how many crimes. Pretty much they stayed the

1153
01:03:47.480 --> 01:03:50.280
<v Speaker 1>same went They only varied about one thousand up and

1154
01:03:50.320 --> 01:03:54.119
<v Speaker 1>down from the last few years of each other. So overall,

1155
01:03:54.679 --> 01:03:58.440
<v Speaker 1>I mean, I can't really tell if who's who's doing them,

1156
01:03:58.559 --> 01:04:01.159
<v Speaker 1>but that's kind of seems to be normal across the

1157
01:04:01.159 --> 01:04:02.440
<v Speaker 1>board when it comes to states.

1158
01:04:02.639 --> 01:04:05.199
<v Speaker 2>I gotta be honest, I don't I've never heard of

1159
01:04:05.239 --> 01:04:07.880
<v Speaker 2>these Somali terror gangs.

1160
01:04:09.000 --> 01:04:13.239
<v Speaker 1>I've never heard of any small gangs terrorizing people. And

1161
01:04:13.320 --> 01:04:16.039
<v Speaker 1>you'd thinking, this day and age, especially with TikTok and

1162
01:04:16.039 --> 01:04:19.840
<v Speaker 1>everything else, we would know you'd hear it if this

1163
01:04:20.000 --> 01:04:22.679
<v Speaker 1>was like an actual thing, Like we hear all about

1164
01:04:22.679 --> 01:04:24.400
<v Speaker 1>what's happening across the pond, So.

1165
01:04:25.320 --> 01:04:29.559
<v Speaker 2>Now we hear about cartel members terrorizing local communities, that

1166
01:04:29.639 --> 01:04:30.239
<v Speaker 2>is the thing that is.

1167
01:04:31.320 --> 01:04:36.760
<v Speaker 1>And definitely illegal immigrants in some locations terrorizing and stuff.

1168
01:04:36.880 --> 01:04:39.760
<v Speaker 1>But sure, that's what I really bothers me. He will

1169
01:04:39.800 --> 01:04:42.760
<v Speaker 1>say like a factual thing, and then he'll throw some

1170
01:04:42.800 --> 01:04:47.159
<v Speaker 1>fucking outlandish bullshit, and it's like, stops doing that. It

1171
01:04:47.519 --> 01:04:51.360
<v Speaker 1>just if you're going to say something, especially when you're

1172
01:04:51.400 --> 01:04:54.760
<v Speaker 1>in a position where every single word is going to

1173
01:04:54.800 --> 01:04:58.320
<v Speaker 1>be scrutinized and fact checked and done all these things,

1174
01:04:58.760 --> 01:05:01.360
<v Speaker 1>why in God's name do you even have a hint

1175
01:05:01.440 --> 01:05:04.199
<v Speaker 1>of a lie. Yeah, why would you even lie? Period?

1176
01:05:04.360 --> 01:05:06.960
<v Speaker 1>You have an entire staff of you have a whole

1177
01:05:07.000 --> 01:05:10.119
<v Speaker 1>White House and the Pentagon that could do any amount

1178
01:05:10.119 --> 01:05:14.400
<v Speaker 1>of research for you in under ten seconds. So why

1179
01:05:14.440 --> 01:05:18.719
<v Speaker 1>the fuck would you say something like that to exaggerate

1180
01:05:18.760 --> 01:05:21.920
<v Speaker 1>this whole thing when you have there are psycho people

1181
01:05:22.039 --> 01:05:25.079
<v Speaker 1>that think Trump is like God's gift to Earth that

1182
01:05:25.199 --> 01:05:28.320
<v Speaker 1>will take that to the extreme max. It's like it's

1183
01:05:28.440 --> 01:05:31.719
<v Speaker 1>just the right and left rhetoric to try and push

1184
01:05:31.960 --> 01:05:35.360
<v Speaker 1>a civil war and to cause so much hate and discontent.

1185
01:05:35.440 --> 01:05:38.360
<v Speaker 1>The more that they keep people divided, the less change

1186
01:05:38.360 --> 01:05:41.679
<v Speaker 1>that we'll actually make for the betment of the American people.

1187
01:05:41.920 --> 01:05:44.280
<v Speaker 1>This has nothing to do with actually giving a shit

1188
01:05:44.360 --> 01:05:47.760
<v Speaker 1>about us is. It's everything to do with using certain

1189
01:05:47.880 --> 01:05:50.880
<v Speaker 1>tactics to keep us divided and keep hate and spewing

1190
01:05:50.960 --> 01:05:51.880
<v Speaker 1>shit that keep going.

1191
01:05:52.280 --> 01:05:55.360
<v Speaker 2>Absolutely. Now, with that being said, the statement he made

1192
01:05:55.360 --> 01:05:57.400
<v Speaker 2>about the fraud, Now, the fraud.

1193
01:05:57.079 --> 01:05:59.840
<v Speaker 1>Thing is correct, That's what I'm saying. But the second

1194
01:05:59.840 --> 01:06:02.239
<v Speaker 1>part that, as far as I can find, I haven't

1195
01:06:02.280 --> 01:06:07.000
<v Speaker 1>seen anything about that. Now, if our dear Minnesotian cult

1196
01:06:07.039 --> 01:06:10.519
<v Speaker 1>members have had different experiences where you've seen it, police

1197
01:06:10.599 --> 01:06:12.760
<v Speaker 1>comment and let us know, so that way everyone else

1198
01:06:12.760 --> 01:06:13.480
<v Speaker 1>can know about it.

1199
01:06:13.679 --> 01:06:16.000
<v Speaker 2>That being said, this wasn't a direct quote. It said

1200
01:06:16.000 --> 01:06:18.719
<v Speaker 2>that he alleged this was taking place, but it didn't

1201
01:06:18.719 --> 01:06:21.079
<v Speaker 2>have the quotation marks around it. So again, this is

1202
01:06:21.079 --> 01:06:24.159
<v Speaker 2>a obviously very left leaning article in publication.

1203
01:06:24.480 --> 01:06:28.000
<v Speaker 1>I thought he directly said no, no, no, no, no.

1204
01:06:28.119 --> 01:06:31.119
<v Speaker 2>But but if that's true, if he did allege these things,

1205
01:06:31.280 --> 01:06:33.239
<v Speaker 2>he has to have some backing behind it, because you're right,

1206
01:06:33.320 --> 01:06:33.880
<v Speaker 2>he does.

1207
01:06:33.800 --> 01:06:35.360
<v Speaker 1>Say seeing stuff.

1208
01:06:35.440 --> 01:06:38.960
<v Speaker 2>He says like truth sandwiches right. It's like it's like

1209
01:06:39.000 --> 01:06:42.079
<v Speaker 2>a compliment sandwich. You tell somebody, hey, man, I like

1210
01:06:42.119 --> 01:06:44.400
<v Speaker 2>what you're doing with your hair right now, but your

1211
01:06:44.480 --> 01:06:48.400
<v Speaker 2>fucking attitude is trash. But also, bro, those shoes are nice,

1212
01:06:48.440 --> 01:06:51.000
<v Speaker 2>Like that's not that's he's doing that. When it comes

1213
01:06:51.039 --> 01:06:54.440
<v Speaker 2>to factual information, like they are stealing money and also

1214
01:06:54.599 --> 01:06:57.360
<v Speaker 2>like their gangs are terrorizing their ship, we are rolling

1215
01:06:57.440 --> 01:07:02.480
<v Speaker 2>back the tps and it's like, wait, you don't necessarily

1216
01:07:02.480 --> 01:07:03.480
<v Speaker 2>belong there, my boy.

1217
01:07:04.079 --> 01:07:07.039
<v Speaker 1>You're not actually explaining it to people, and people are

1218
01:07:07.079 --> 01:07:10.599
<v Speaker 1>getting confused, and then you have biased media happening and

1219
01:07:10.639 --> 01:07:13.760
<v Speaker 1>not know, it's so hard to find the actual facts

1220
01:07:13.760 --> 01:07:16.960
<v Speaker 1>because everything is censored. Everything is being shifted through AI.

1221
01:07:17.760 --> 01:07:22.119
<v Speaker 1>So it's just causing more hate and discontent within America

1222
01:07:22.280 --> 01:07:25.440
<v Speaker 1>and causing more issues because then you know, we already

1223
01:07:25.440 --> 01:07:29.239
<v Speaker 1>have the Ice situation that's happening in a lot of places,

1224
01:07:29.280 --> 01:07:33.280
<v Speaker 1>that's going poorly, that's going good. It just depends on

1225
01:07:33.320 --> 01:07:36.079
<v Speaker 1>what you're hearing, what news you're seeing, blah blah blah,

1226
01:07:36.199 --> 01:07:39.039
<v Speaker 1>and everyone has different polarized opinions of that. Then you

1227
01:07:39.119 --> 01:07:43.519
<v Speaker 1>have this situation where clearly American tax dollars are being

1228
01:07:43.559 --> 01:07:47.840
<v Speaker 1>funded funding these people's lavish lifestyles, and we'll get to

1229
01:07:48.000 --> 01:07:52.800
<v Speaker 1>them going back to funding terrorist groups, which pisses everyone

1230
01:07:52.880 --> 01:07:56.639
<v Speaker 1>the fuck off. And then you're now saying that like, hey,

1231
01:07:56.679 --> 01:07:59.480
<v Speaker 1>by the way, just a little side note, m they're

1232
01:07:59.519 --> 01:08:03.360
<v Speaker 1>actually terrorizing American people. So now you're just painting a

1233
01:08:03.400 --> 01:08:07.639
<v Speaker 1>target on the Somalian groups that, like I bet you

1234
01:08:07.679 --> 01:08:10.079
<v Speaker 1>ten to one, most of these people are just here

1235
01:08:10.159 --> 01:08:12.280
<v Speaker 1>living their lives, like the rest of the immigrants that

1236
01:08:12.320 --> 01:08:15.039
<v Speaker 1>have been here, that all of us originated and kind

1237
01:08:15.079 --> 01:08:18.199
<v Speaker 1>of came here from different areas. So why paint that

1238
01:08:18.239 --> 01:08:22.720
<v Speaker 1>target unless something severely atrocious is happening like it, I

1239
01:08:22.880 --> 01:08:24.479
<v Speaker 1>just I don't agree with it.

1240
01:08:24.720 --> 01:08:28.159
<v Speaker 2>I'm with you now continuing here, It says Somali was

1241
01:08:28.199 --> 01:08:31.720
<v Speaker 2>first added as a Temporary Protected Status designated country in

1242
01:08:31.800 --> 01:08:34.800
<v Speaker 2>nineteen ninety one, after civil war broke out there. That

1243
01:08:34.920 --> 01:08:38.239
<v Speaker 2>status has been extended more than two dozen times as

1244
01:08:38.359 --> 01:08:41.079
<v Speaker 2>US officials found that it was too dangerous for Somalis

1245
01:08:41.119 --> 01:08:43.640
<v Speaker 2>to in the United States to return to the war

1246
01:08:43.720 --> 01:08:48.319
<v Speaker 2>torn East African nation, and in the latest extension is

1247
01:08:48.319 --> 01:08:52.840
<v Speaker 2>set to run through March. That was March of well, yeah,

1248
01:08:52.880 --> 01:08:57.039
<v Speaker 2>this article was. Yeah, there's a current article from November

1249
01:08:57.119 --> 01:09:01.000
<v Speaker 2>twenty twenty five. The Trump and administration has sought to

1250
01:09:01.079 --> 01:09:04.880
<v Speaker 2>roll back temporary protected status for migrants from other countries too.

1251
01:09:05.199 --> 01:09:07.680
<v Speaker 2>Hundreds of thousands of people in the US from Venezuela

1252
01:09:07.720 --> 01:09:10.680
<v Speaker 2>and Haiti who had temporary protected status have been affected.

1253
01:09:11.279 --> 01:09:14.720
<v Speaker 2>Minnesota Attorney General Keith Ellison said he'd moved to sue

1254
01:09:14.760 --> 01:09:17.920
<v Speaker 2>if the Trump administration moves ahead to eliminate protected status

1255
01:09:18.000 --> 01:09:22.079
<v Speaker 2>for Somali migrants in Minnesota. Now that being set, I'm

1256
01:09:22.079 --> 01:09:23.920
<v Speaker 2>actually gonna go ahead and share the screen on this

1257
01:09:24.079 --> 01:09:28.119
<v Speaker 2>article right here, and let's dive into this one together.

1258
01:09:28.199 --> 01:09:34.279
<v Speaker 2>This is from Fox nine Federal investigation into Minnesota's terrorist fraud,

1259
01:09:34.680 --> 01:09:37.600
<v Speaker 2>called for by gd gop I don't know why they

1260
01:09:37.600 --> 01:09:41.079
<v Speaker 2>put terrorists in quotes. The organization that this is funding

1261
01:09:41.239 --> 01:09:45.000
<v Speaker 2>is an actual, absolutely understood, known terrorist organization that's an

1262
01:09:45.000 --> 01:09:47.560
<v Speaker 2>al Qaeda affiliate. We'll get to Al Shabab here in

1263
01:09:47.600 --> 01:09:50.439
<v Speaker 2>a bit, but let's read in here. It says Minnesota

1264
01:09:50.439 --> 01:09:54.439
<v Speaker 2>fraud Investigation request what we know? A letter co signed

1265
01:09:54.439 --> 01:09:59.720
<v Speaker 2>by Representatives Tom Emmer, Michelle Fischbach and Brad Feinstein, and

1266
01:09:59.800 --> 01:10:04.359
<v Speaker 2>p Stallber Okay urge US attorney Rosen to conduct an

1267
01:10:04.399 --> 01:10:08.239
<v Speaker 2>open investigation into reports that Minnesota taxpayer dollars are ending

1268
01:10:08.319 --> 01:10:11.520
<v Speaker 2>up in the hands of Al Shabab terris network in Somalia.

1269
01:10:11.880 --> 01:10:15.039
<v Speaker 2>More specifically, the letter says that it is alleged that

1270
01:10:15.079 --> 01:10:20.399
<v Speaker 2>Minnesota's Somali community has been sending millions back to Somalia

1271
01:10:20.439 --> 01:10:24.039
<v Speaker 2>through an informal money tracking scheme or trafficking scheme. The

1272
01:10:24.119 --> 01:10:26.680
<v Speaker 2>letter cites a report from the right leaning think tank

1273
01:10:26.800 --> 01:10:31.960
<v Speaker 2>Manhattan Institute. This is an expost from Tom Emmer, basically

1274
01:10:32.000 --> 01:10:35.800
<v Speaker 2>reinstating what I had just mentioned. Local GOP members echoed

1275
01:10:35.840 --> 01:10:38.520
<v Speaker 2>the same sentiment in a statement co signed by Minnesota

1276
01:10:38.520 --> 01:10:43.119
<v Speaker 2>House of Representative Speaker Lisa Dmouth House Republican floor leader

1277
01:10:43.159 --> 01:10:45.800
<v Speaker 2>Harry Niska and a group of House Republicans that called

1278
01:10:45.840 --> 01:10:49.920
<v Speaker 2>for a similar investigation direct quote here. The sprawling fraud

1279
01:10:50.000 --> 01:10:53.079
<v Speaker 2>that has become endemic under Governor Walls's failed leadership is

1280
01:10:53.119 --> 01:10:56.399
<v Speaker 2>troubling enough for Minnesota taxpayers. The notion that these dollars

1281
01:10:56.399 --> 01:11:00.479
<v Speaker 2>could be flowing to foreign terrorist organizations adds a truly disturbing,

1282
01:11:00.479 --> 01:11:04.399
<v Speaker 2>an urgent dimension. For the record, Yeah, Walls as in

1283
01:11:04.479 --> 01:11:08.439
<v Speaker 2>Tim Walls, as in Kamala Harris's running mate. For anybody

1284
01:11:08.479 --> 01:11:11.319
<v Speaker 2>that like forgot that that guy existed, he's the governor

1285
01:11:11.399 --> 01:11:13.600
<v Speaker 2>of the state that's got this kind of fraud going in.

1286
01:11:13.880 --> 01:11:16.239
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, it was like, wait, who's this.

1287
01:11:16.720 --> 01:11:20.279
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, that's that's all Walls, who is like trying to

1288
01:11:20.319 --> 01:11:23.720
<v Speaker 2>seem like America's t ball coach, Like that's the kind

1289
01:11:23.760 --> 01:11:27.159
<v Speaker 2>of old man that he seems. But he's a veteran

1290
01:11:27.600 --> 01:11:33.720
<v Speaker 2>kind of kind of uh yeah, he's he's about as

1291
01:11:33.760 --> 01:11:38.000
<v Speaker 2>wonderbred retard as they come. And somehow the Democratic Party

1292
01:11:38.000 --> 01:11:40.000
<v Speaker 2>thought that he was a really good running mate to

1293
01:11:40.039 --> 01:11:43.720
<v Speaker 2>go along with old whore herself. So it's it's crazy,

1294
01:11:43.720 --> 01:11:45.880
<v Speaker 2>but whatever. Yeah, he's the governor of the state where

1295
01:11:45.880 --> 01:11:51.199
<v Speaker 2>the Somalis are embezzling millions to al Shabab. Continuing here,

1296
01:11:51.199 --> 01:11:54.119
<v Speaker 2>it says, if these allegations are confirmed, immediate action must

1297
01:11:54.159 --> 01:11:56.239
<v Speaker 2>be taken at both the state and federal level to

1298
01:11:56.279 --> 01:12:00.880
<v Speaker 2>crack down on illicit remittances and other any other payments

1299
01:12:00.920 --> 01:12:03.359
<v Speaker 2>making their way to terrorist groups. We are asking the

1300
01:12:03.399 --> 01:12:06.880
<v Speaker 2>DOJ to immediately launch an investigation into these claims so

1301
01:12:07.000 --> 01:12:11.199
<v Speaker 2>Minnesotans can have clarity as soon as possible. The statement read,

1302
01:12:11.319 --> 01:12:13.640
<v Speaker 2>in part all right, so now we got a little

1303
01:12:13.720 --> 01:12:15.880
<v Speaker 2>vigia that's gonna give us a little bit of a

1304
01:12:15.880 --> 01:12:18.079
<v Speaker 2>breakdown of the situation. Let's learn together.

1305
01:12:18.800 --> 01:12:22.199
<v Speaker 5>Christy no Mean is coming to Minneapolis tomorrow. This happening

1306
01:12:22.199 --> 01:12:24.840
<v Speaker 5>on the heels of President Trump announcing he will end

1307
01:12:24.920 --> 01:12:29.479
<v Speaker 5>temporary protected status for Somali's in Minnesota. Under this initiative,

1308
01:12:29.560 --> 01:12:33.159
<v Speaker 5>immigrants who can't return to their home country safely due

1309
01:12:33.199 --> 01:12:36.079
<v Speaker 5>to war or natural disasters are allowed to stay.

1310
01:12:35.800 --> 01:12:36.399
<v Speaker 2>In the US.

1311
01:12:36.720 --> 01:12:39.520
<v Speaker 5>Fox nine's Leon Purpose joins us now from the newsroom tonight,

1312
01:12:39.800 --> 01:12:41.279
<v Speaker 5>Leon break it all down for us.

1313
01:12:41.319 --> 01:12:43.239
<v Speaker 1>What does all of this mean, Karen?

1314
01:12:43.319 --> 01:12:47.399
<v Speaker 6>President Trump's true social posts doesn't do anything legally when

1315
01:12:47.439 --> 01:12:51.439
<v Speaker 6>talking about temporary protected status in order to in order

1316
01:12:51.439 --> 01:12:53.520
<v Speaker 6>for it to end, it would have to come from

1317
01:12:53.720 --> 01:12:58.720
<v Speaker 6>the Secretary of Homeland Security, Christy Nome. Friday night, President

1318
01:12:58.760 --> 01:13:03.039
<v Speaker 6>Donald Trump posted on Truth Social I am as President

1319
01:13:03.119 --> 01:13:07.600
<v Speaker 6>of the United States here by terminating effective immediately, the

1320
01:13:07.720 --> 01:13:12.680
<v Speaker 6>temporary protected status for Somalis in Minnesota. It calls some

1321
01:13:12.720 --> 01:13:16.239
<v Speaker 6>people to think Trump is trying to score political points

1322
01:13:16.279 --> 01:13:17.000
<v Speaker 6>with his base.

1323
01:13:17.239 --> 01:13:19.960
<v Speaker 3>I think this is a political act. We believe it

1324
01:13:20.000 --> 01:13:24.239
<v Speaker 3>is fabricated and created for the for the We think

1325
01:13:24.239 --> 01:13:28.880
<v Speaker 3>actually for the single purpose to reign in the young

1326
01:13:28.920 --> 01:13:30.199
<v Speaker 3>conservatives in this country.

1327
01:13:30.560 --> 01:13:33.800
<v Speaker 6>So we asked a lawyer, does a Truth Social post

1328
01:13:33.880 --> 01:13:37.199
<v Speaker 6>or an executive order mean an end to temporary protected

1329
01:13:37.239 --> 01:13:38.479
<v Speaker 6>status for Somalis.

1330
01:13:38.920 --> 01:13:42.119
<v Speaker 7>It's the Secretary of Homeland Security determining there's a reason

1331
01:13:42.199 --> 01:13:44.359
<v Speaker 7>for temporary protected status from that country.

1332
01:13:44.560 --> 01:13:48.600
<v Speaker 6>According to Michelle Garnett Mackenzie, there are seven hundred people

1333
01:13:48.600 --> 01:13:52.239
<v Speaker 6>in the country who have protected status from Somalia, about

1334
01:13:52.319 --> 01:13:56.000
<v Speaker 6>five hundred of those are living in Minnesota, and Trump's

1335
01:13:56.039 --> 01:14:01.359
<v Speaker 6>post he said he is terminating protected status effective in immediately. However,

1336
01:14:01.520 --> 01:14:05.880
<v Speaker 6>when temporary status is revoked, according to Michelle, federal law

1337
01:14:05.920 --> 01:14:09.520
<v Speaker 6>states it can't take effect earlier than sixty days after

1338
01:14:09.560 --> 01:14:12.680
<v Speaker 6>the publication of that notice, and it has to come

1339
01:14:12.680 --> 01:14:16.399
<v Speaker 6>from the Secretary of Homeland Security in order to get

1340
01:14:16.439 --> 01:14:17.560
<v Speaker 6>protective status.

1341
01:14:17.600 --> 01:14:18.560
<v Speaker 2>It's a process.

1342
01:14:19.319 --> 01:14:22.560
<v Speaker 7>Each applicant has to file paperwork, pay a filing fee,

1343
01:14:22.600 --> 01:14:26.239
<v Speaker 7>pass a background check, and have their application adjudicated every

1344
01:14:26.279 --> 01:14:29.520
<v Speaker 7>twelve or eighteen months to remain in temporary protected status.

1345
01:14:30.319 --> 01:14:33.439
<v Speaker 6>Now, if someone is no longer eligible for protected status,

1346
01:14:33.520 --> 01:14:38.199
<v Speaker 6>it's denied and the deportation proceedings begin. And Trump's truth

1347
01:14:38.279 --> 01:14:42.359
<v Speaker 6>social posts he specifically says he is ending temporary protected

1348
01:14:42.399 --> 01:14:45.880
<v Speaker 6>status for Somalis in Minnesota. If the program ended, it

1349
01:14:45.920 --> 01:14:49.319
<v Speaker 6>would be for the whole country. And again, we're expecting

1350
01:14:49.560 --> 01:14:53.159
<v Speaker 6>the Secretary of Homeland Security here in the Twin Cities tomorrow.

1351
01:14:53.720 --> 01:14:56.880
<v Speaker 2>Okay, so just roll on the same page. They are

1352
01:14:57.079 --> 01:15:02.319
<v Speaker 2>arguing if the truth social post, a social media post

1353
01:15:02.600 --> 01:15:06.560
<v Speaker 2>is legal precedence to make this happen, rather than the

1354
01:15:06.640 --> 01:15:11.840
<v Speaker 2>fact that if this was repealed, seven hundred people is

1355
01:15:11.880 --> 01:15:14.880
<v Speaker 2>what we're talking about here, five hundred them Minnesota. So

1356
01:15:14.960 --> 01:15:17.920
<v Speaker 2>this mass turnout for these people that are shouting and

1357
01:15:18.039 --> 01:15:20.520
<v Speaker 2>raving about the people in Minnesota and all this this

1358
01:15:20.600 --> 01:15:25.199
<v Speaker 2>is a crime against Minnesotans. It's about five hundred people.

1359
01:15:26.199 --> 01:15:29.079
<v Speaker 1>I mean, did any of those people, though, commit crimes.

1360
01:15:29.760 --> 01:15:32.760
<v Speaker 1>Did any of those people do anything to warrant them

1361
01:15:32.840 --> 01:15:35.840
<v Speaker 1>being shipped back to a war torn country right now?

1362
01:15:36.039 --> 01:15:39.319
<v Speaker 1>I don't know, And that's kind of a serious question

1363
01:15:39.840 --> 01:15:42.600
<v Speaker 1>when it comes to you just shipping them off, Like

1364
01:15:42.680 --> 01:15:46.479
<v Speaker 1>if they didn't do anything, then why are they being punished?

1365
01:15:46.920 --> 01:15:49.039
<v Speaker 2>So let's read in here. This is the direct quote

1366
01:15:49.039 --> 01:15:50.800
<v Speaker 2>talking about the gangs and terrorizing.

1367
01:15:51.079 --> 01:15:53.520
<v Speaker 1>I did just find gangs though, by the way, it's

1368
01:15:53.560 --> 01:15:57.439
<v Speaker 1>the Smaali Outlaws is a street gang that was formed

1369
01:15:57.479 --> 01:16:01.960
<v Speaker 1>by a smally American use in Minnesota and Saint Paul area.

1370
01:16:02.039 --> 01:16:06.560
<v Speaker 1>Their criminal activities mainly include drug trafficking and human trafficking.

1371
01:16:07.439 --> 01:16:12.439
<v Speaker 1>They have like specific territories. It's been around since twenty nineteen.

1372
01:16:12.600 --> 01:16:15.720
<v Speaker 1>They have like three rival gangs as well. But the

1373
01:16:15.800 --> 01:16:21.359
<v Speaker 1>gang is notorious in transporting underage females for prostitution across

1374
01:16:21.399 --> 01:16:22.159
<v Speaker 1>state lines.

1375
01:16:23.239 --> 01:16:25.840
<v Speaker 2>So they are that isang.

1376
01:16:26.560 --> 01:16:30.359
<v Speaker 1>There is a SMALLI gang. There is three groups though

1377
01:16:30.399 --> 01:16:33.800
<v Speaker 1>that are rivals that I don't know if they're Somalian specifically,

1378
01:16:33.880 --> 01:16:38.000
<v Speaker 1>they don't listenimize it, but hot Boys mad to have

1379
01:16:38.159 --> 01:16:41.600
<v Speaker 1>bubon I don't know, with an attitude and sixteen twenty

1380
01:16:41.600 --> 01:16:45.359
<v Speaker 1>seven boys are the three rival gangs. So they have

1381
01:16:45.520 --> 01:16:48.680
<v Speaker 1>American they have, Yeah, they have gotten in trouble a

1382
01:16:48.680 --> 01:16:53.760
<v Speaker 1>good bit for I guess trafficking underage girls and drug

1383
01:16:53.800 --> 01:16:57.640
<v Speaker 1>related crimes in their territories. So there is technically a

1384
01:16:57.640 --> 01:17:01.600
<v Speaker 1>Somalian gang that has been around since twenty nineteen. But

1385
01:17:01.920 --> 01:17:04.079
<v Speaker 1>from what I can tell, I haven't actually found any

1386
01:17:04.439 --> 01:17:09.479
<v Speaker 1>direct things that are saying that they're terrorizing the community. Obviously,

1387
01:17:09.600 --> 01:17:13.439
<v Speaker 1>drug trafficking and sex trafficking is a thing across the

1388
01:17:13.640 --> 01:17:16.359
<v Speaker 1>entire country, right, It's not just in one location, and

1389
01:17:16.359 --> 01:17:19.640
<v Speaker 1>it's done by many, many, many groups here and by

1390
01:17:19.680 --> 01:17:23.039
<v Speaker 1>just random individuals. So that's in and of itself a

1391
01:17:23.079 --> 01:17:27.039
<v Speaker 1>whole nother conversation. But I mean, let everyone know I

1392
01:17:27.079 --> 01:17:27.640
<v Speaker 1>found something.

1393
01:17:27.760 --> 01:17:29.960
<v Speaker 2>And I don't know if the seven hundred people are

1394
01:17:30.079 --> 01:17:33.199
<v Speaker 2>affiliates of these criminal organizations or if they have been

1395
01:17:33.439 --> 01:17:36.840
<v Speaker 2>in the mix as far as the fraud scandal has

1396
01:17:36.880 --> 01:17:38.239
<v Speaker 2>been conserned, like, I don't know.

1397
01:17:38.319 --> 01:17:40.960
<v Speaker 1>I think that needs to be I think that should

1398
01:17:41.039 --> 01:17:44.199
<v Speaker 1>be the point in which they should be background checked,

1399
01:17:44.199 --> 01:17:48.399
<v Speaker 1>They should be you know, verified, If they haven't done anything,

1400
01:17:48.439 --> 01:17:50.800
<v Speaker 1>then no, I don't agree with sending them back over.

1401
01:17:51.319 --> 01:17:53.680
<v Speaker 1>I agree with taking the people that are actually doing

1402
01:17:53.720 --> 01:17:56.800
<v Speaker 1>things here or have any kind of connections whatsoever or

1403
01:17:56.880 --> 01:17:59.880
<v Speaker 1>linked to any of these gangs, group them up and

1404
01:18:00.119 --> 01:18:02.439
<v Speaker 1>ship their asses back over there. But if these people

1405
01:18:02.640 --> 01:18:07.319
<v Speaker 1>sought refugee because they're literally starving to death or fleeing

1406
01:18:07.359 --> 01:18:09.920
<v Speaker 1>what's happening from over there, and they're just normal people

1407
01:18:09.960 --> 01:18:12.359
<v Speaker 1>trying to live, then no, I don't agree with sending

1408
01:18:12.399 --> 01:18:12.760
<v Speaker 1>them back.

1409
01:18:12.920 --> 01:18:16.000
<v Speaker 2>It's case by case, right, But this is case by case.

1410
01:18:16.039 --> 01:18:17.840
<v Speaker 1>That's what I'm saying. We should go case by case

1411
01:18:17.960 --> 01:18:20.399
<v Speaker 1>of the seven hundred people who should be allowed to

1412
01:18:20.399 --> 01:18:22.680
<v Speaker 1>stay here. But if there is a large portion of

1413
01:18:22.680 --> 01:18:25.079
<v Speaker 1>these people that are just doing trash shit in that area,

1414
01:18:25.279 --> 01:18:26.840
<v Speaker 1>round them fucker's up and send them back.

1415
01:18:26.960 --> 01:18:28.760
<v Speaker 2>But that's the problem when it comes to law, it

1416
01:18:28.800 --> 01:18:30.880
<v Speaker 2>can't be case by case. You have to do blanket

1417
01:18:30.920 --> 01:18:33.720
<v Speaker 2>policies because that's the only way the law happens, and

1418
01:18:33.760 --> 01:18:37.079
<v Speaker 2>you have to start the process somewhere, right. I agree

1419
01:18:37.079 --> 01:18:39.119
<v Speaker 2>that we should be taking anybody who's not an American

1420
01:18:39.199 --> 01:18:41.720
<v Speaker 2>national who is committing crimes and send them back to

1421
01:18:41.760 --> 01:18:45.119
<v Speaker 2>wherever they come from. Agreed. But that's not something you

1422
01:18:45.119 --> 01:18:48.199
<v Speaker 2>can just pin in and sign in and that toada

1423
01:18:48.359 --> 01:18:51.039
<v Speaker 2>we're in. That's happening now boom, because every time he

1424
01:18:51.079 --> 01:18:54.720
<v Speaker 2>does that, he's later really hitler. So you have to

1425
01:18:54.760 --> 01:18:57.640
<v Speaker 2>at least start the ball rolling somewhere pulling back the

1426
01:18:57.720 --> 01:19:00.800
<v Speaker 2>protective status. I don't necessar farely agree with it. I

1427
01:19:00.840 --> 01:19:03.159
<v Speaker 2>also don't necessarily disagree with it either.

1428
01:19:04.000 --> 01:19:06.399
<v Speaker 1>Does that play into the ones that have been here

1429
01:19:06.520 --> 01:19:07.880
<v Speaker 1>for the last two decades.

1430
01:19:08.119 --> 01:19:10.439
<v Speaker 2>So let's talk about that. Let's read more into it here,

1431
01:19:10.479 --> 01:19:13.079
<v Speaker 2>it says, so the dig deeper. The announcement comes after

1432
01:19:13.119 --> 01:19:15.439
<v Speaker 2>President Trump posted on Friday that he would seek to

1433
01:19:15.479 --> 01:19:19.039
<v Speaker 2>in the Temporary Protective Status program for Somalis in Minnesota.

1434
01:19:19.199 --> 01:19:22.239
<v Speaker 2>Posting on truth Social he said under Governor Walls, Minnesota

1435
01:19:22.279 --> 01:19:25.359
<v Speaker 2>has become a hub for fraudulent activities. This is a

1436
01:19:25.359 --> 01:19:29.359
<v Speaker 2>direct quote from Trump. Somali gangs are terrorizing the people

1437
01:19:29.439 --> 01:19:32.479
<v Speaker 2>of that great state, and billions of dollars are missing.

1438
01:19:32.880 --> 01:19:35.159
<v Speaker 2>Send them back to where they come from. It's over,

1439
01:19:35.439 --> 01:19:38.800
<v Speaker 2>he wrote. Now the backstory here. The National TPS program

1440
01:19:38.840 --> 01:19:41.520
<v Speaker 2>is granted by the US Department Homeland Security to immigrants

1441
01:19:41.560 --> 01:19:44.279
<v Speaker 2>of countries who cannot return home safely due to conditions

1442
01:19:44.279 --> 01:19:47.319
<v Speaker 2>like civil war, natural disaster. A total of seventeen countries

1443
01:19:47.359 --> 01:19:52.000
<v Speaker 2>are currently applicable for that designation. Eligibility for the program

1444
01:19:52.079 --> 01:19:56.560
<v Speaker 2>is tied to each specific country designation, and Minnesota's program

1445
01:19:56.600 --> 01:20:01.159
<v Speaker 2>fall under DHS's oversight. Minnesota's TPS program currently has an

1446
01:20:01.199 --> 01:20:04.359
<v Speaker 2>existing extension through March to twenty twenty six for refugees

1447
01:20:04.439 --> 01:20:08.319
<v Speaker 2>from Somalia. Estimates show that roughly seven hundred people in

1448
01:20:08.359 --> 01:20:11.720
<v Speaker 2>the United States with protected STATS from Somalia, with approximately

1449
01:20:11.720 --> 01:20:14.159
<v Speaker 2>five hundred residing in Minnesota. Now, let's talk about the

1450
01:20:14.159 --> 01:20:17.760
<v Speaker 2>fraud big picture view. In recent years, Minnesota has dealt

1451
01:20:17.760 --> 01:20:20.319
<v Speaker 2>with massive fraud, most notably the Feeding our Children or

1452
01:20:20.359 --> 01:20:24.119
<v Speaker 2>few excuse me, Feeding our Future scheme that bezzled more

1453
01:20:24.119 --> 01:20:26.399
<v Speaker 2>than two hundred and fifty million dollars in the COVID

1454
01:20:26.479 --> 01:20:29.199
<v Speaker 2>nineteen relief funds. Of the seventy eight people that have

1455
01:20:29.279 --> 01:20:31.800
<v Speaker 2>been charged so far, fifty six have pled guilty to

1456
01:20:31.880 --> 01:20:34.800
<v Speaker 2>their role in the scheme. On the other side, members

1457
01:20:34.840 --> 01:20:37.399
<v Speaker 2>of the Somali community gathered in Minnesota on Sunday to

1458
01:20:37.439 --> 01:20:43.439
<v Speaker 2>oppose the decision. I think it's a political act. Seventy

1459
01:20:43.439 --> 01:20:46.840
<v Speaker 2>eight people and fifty six of them.

1460
01:20:47.000 --> 01:20:49.479
<v Speaker 1>How is that a political act? If they committed a

1461
01:20:49.479 --> 01:20:52.199
<v Speaker 1>crime and they were found to be guilty, and they

1462
01:20:52.840 --> 01:20:56.239
<v Speaker 1>even agreed that they're guilty. How is that an act.

1463
01:20:56.199 --> 01:21:00.439
<v Speaker 2>Because it's it's literally from Trump, so it must be

1464
01:21:00.960 --> 01:21:01.319
<v Speaker 2>for something.

1465
01:21:01.800 --> 01:21:07.319
<v Speaker 1>Trump's language, though, is definitely definitely a thing. I mean,

1466
01:21:07.560 --> 01:21:10.880
<v Speaker 1>he shouldn't be saying specific things, but that that goes

1467
01:21:10.920 --> 01:21:14.000
<v Speaker 1>for many of his posts that are just completely outlinagh

1468
01:21:14.079 --> 01:21:17.399
<v Speaker 1>that cause more issues than they do, Like he could

1469
01:21:17.399 --> 01:21:20.600
<v Speaker 1>be doing so many positive things, and the way that

1470
01:21:20.640 --> 01:21:24.039
<v Speaker 1>he's wording it could be more positive or at least like, hey,

1471
01:21:24.079 --> 01:21:24.920
<v Speaker 1>I'm trying to do this.

1472
01:21:25.479 --> 01:21:25.760
<v Speaker 2>Nah.

1473
01:21:25.960 --> 01:21:27.359
<v Speaker 1>You know, he don't give a fuck.

1474
01:21:27.720 --> 01:21:31.399
<v Speaker 2>He doesn't nor has he ever to be honest with you.

1475
01:21:31.439 --> 01:21:34.439
<v Speaker 2>Trump don't be given a fuck, that's for sure. Now,

1476
01:21:34.680 --> 01:21:37.720
<v Speaker 2>let's talk more about the whole Minnesota conversation when it

1477
01:21:37.760 --> 01:21:43.239
<v Speaker 2>comes to all uh ilhan Omar, because boy oh boy,

1478
01:21:43.600 --> 01:21:46.159
<v Speaker 2>as they're talking about these Somalis that set up shop

1479
01:21:46.199 --> 01:21:49.399
<v Speaker 2>in Minnesota and they you know, they're thriving, it's a

1480
01:21:49.399 --> 01:21:53.279
<v Speaker 2>thriving community, they're American, they're Minnsaulta and all of these things.

1481
01:21:54.000 --> 01:21:57.000
<v Speaker 2>Let's talk about one of these politicians that has gone

1482
01:21:57.039 --> 01:22:03.039
<v Speaker 2>out of their ways to real spit in the face

1483
01:22:03.119 --> 01:22:07.960
<v Speaker 2>of the American way of life, just outright and also

1484
01:22:08.399 --> 01:22:13.960
<v Speaker 2>has used the system to her advantage in very, very disgusting. Ways,

1485
01:22:14.000 --> 01:22:17.199
<v Speaker 2>let's get into it here. This is actually a post

1486
01:22:17.239 --> 01:22:21.359
<v Speaker 2>from the Minnesota House of Representatives House dot MN dot

1487
01:22:21.399 --> 01:22:24.760
<v Speaker 2>gov if anybody wants to look this up. Divorce diversion

1488
01:22:25.119 --> 01:22:29.960
<v Speaker 2>regarding Congressional or Congresswoman il Han Omar. This was posted

1489
01:22:30.000 --> 01:22:32.560
<v Speaker 2>in twenty nineteen, I might add, So let's get into

1490
01:22:32.560 --> 01:22:36.520
<v Speaker 2>it here from Saint Paul. On Friday, Congresswoman il Han

1491
01:22:36.600 --> 01:22:41.479
<v Speaker 2>Omar filed for divorce from her husband, Ahmedhersey. In twenty seventeen,

1492
01:22:41.920 --> 01:22:45.600
<v Speaker 2>a Representative Omar filed from divorce from her husband, Amad Ilmen.

1493
01:22:46.479 --> 01:22:52.279
<v Speaker 2>So that's this two now, okay. In twenty eighteen, Representative

1494
01:22:52.319 --> 01:22:56.760
<v Speaker 2>Omar legally married Amad Hersey. Now in twenty nineteen, Omar

1495
01:22:56.840 --> 01:23:01.359
<v Speaker 2>is filing for divorce from mister Hersey. Representative Steve Draskowski

1496
01:23:01.600 --> 01:23:06.840
<v Speaker 2>Draskowski Jesus Pollock okay, reacted to the most recent news,

1497
01:23:06.880 --> 01:23:09.359
<v Speaker 2>saying this is the most recent development in an attempt

1498
01:23:09.399 --> 01:23:12.920
<v Speaker 2>by Representative Omar to subvert the truth regarding her multiple

1499
01:23:13.000 --> 01:23:17.760
<v Speaker 2>violations of the law, which include perjury and tax fraud. Yeah,

1500
01:23:17.800 --> 01:23:22.479
<v Speaker 2>we're going there here, Drazowski continued. This story isn't about

1501
01:23:22.520 --> 01:23:25.359
<v Speaker 2>the personal life of a politician. This story is about

1502
01:23:25.359 --> 01:23:28.079
<v Speaker 2>a politician who uses her relationships to cover up her

1503
01:23:28.119 --> 01:23:31.920
<v Speaker 2>misdeeds and disregard for the law. Congresswoman Omar knows that

1504
01:23:31.960 --> 01:23:35.680
<v Speaker 2>the truth reveals too much about her wrongdoings. As such,

1505
01:23:35.800 --> 01:23:39.640
<v Speaker 2>you can always expect Representative Omar's words and truth to

1506
01:23:39.680 --> 01:23:43.840
<v Speaker 2>be one hundred and eight degrees apart. Draskowski, I don't

1507
01:23:43.840 --> 01:23:45.840
<v Speaker 2>even know if I'm pronouncing it right, doesn't matter, has

1508
01:23:45.880 --> 01:23:48.119
<v Speaker 2>consistently called out the media of the Twin Cities for

1509
01:23:48.159 --> 01:23:51.000
<v Speaker 2>their refusal to follow the facts and ask basic questions

1510
01:23:51.000 --> 01:23:54.439
<v Speaker 2>regarding this congresswoman. He said, it's time for the mainstream

1511
01:23:54.479 --> 01:23:57.159
<v Speaker 2>media to get serious enough. With the softball interviews and

1512
01:23:57.239 --> 01:24:01.560
<v Speaker 2>glittering profiles. Omar always uses the the excuse it's personal

1513
01:24:01.920 --> 01:24:04.159
<v Speaker 2>as a diversion to hide the facts about her life,

1514
01:24:04.239 --> 01:24:07.680
<v Speaker 2>which reveal her to be a fraud. If Omar does

1515
01:24:07.720 --> 01:24:10.359
<v Speaker 2>tell the truth, then the media have a responsibility to

1516
01:24:10.399 --> 01:24:14.359
<v Speaker 2>find the truth. Only she only married mister Hersey to

1517
01:24:14.439 --> 01:24:20.039
<v Speaker 2>cover up the fact that she married her brother, mister Elmy. Yes,

1518
01:24:20.720 --> 01:24:23.119
<v Speaker 2>good cult members. That is the thing we've talked about

1519
01:24:23.119 --> 01:24:24.199
<v Speaker 2>on the show before, but like.

1520
01:24:24.279 --> 01:24:27.119
<v Speaker 1>Other as an incest or brother as in using him

1521
01:24:27.319 --> 01:24:30.079
<v Speaker 1>for status to get citizenship.

1522
01:24:30.319 --> 01:24:34.800
<v Speaker 2>Like both, like both, Raven Okay, like both.

1523
01:24:34.840 --> 01:24:39.960
<v Speaker 1>But that's their culture, their culture, yep.

1524
01:24:40.760 --> 01:24:43.760
<v Speaker 2>Which is not a thing that's an American culture. So

1525
01:24:43.880 --> 01:24:46.399
<v Speaker 2>you know, doesn't mean we have to abide by that

1526
01:24:46.479 --> 01:24:47.960
<v Speaker 2>bullshit anyway, moving on here.

1527
01:24:48.279 --> 01:24:50.560
<v Speaker 1>People in Bama might might argue otherwise.

1528
01:24:51.479 --> 01:24:54.159
<v Speaker 2>I mean, you say what you want, right, there are.

1529
01:24:54.079 --> 01:24:56.680
<v Speaker 1>Certain stages no no, no cult members.

1530
01:24:57.760 --> 01:25:01.880
<v Speaker 2>As much as I want to push back, he as

1531
01:25:01.880 --> 01:25:04.720
<v Speaker 2>far as incest is concerned, Bama, Yeah, y'all get a

1532
01:25:04.720 --> 01:25:07.279
<v Speaker 2>bad rep on that, But it was only a few

1533
01:25:07.359 --> 01:25:10.159
<v Speaker 2>years ago where y'all had a law passed to say

1534
01:25:10.159 --> 01:25:13.840
<v Speaker 2>that bast reality was finally illegal in your state, and

1535
01:25:13.840 --> 01:25:18.399
<v Speaker 2>that only passed by two votes out of nine.

1536
01:25:18.600 --> 01:25:20.359
<v Speaker 1>Ooh on the rough one.

1537
01:25:20.760 --> 01:25:22.279
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, it's not even Bama.

1538
01:25:22.279 --> 01:25:22.920
<v Speaker 1>That's the worst.

1539
01:25:22.960 --> 01:25:26.720
<v Speaker 8>So they actually had that the most Incest it's an

1540
01:25:26.720 --> 01:25:30.520
<v Speaker 8>appolation in it. Yeah, yes, And they had that whole

1541
01:25:30.920 --> 01:25:33.239
<v Speaker 8>episode of that whole show about the.

1542
01:25:33.119 --> 01:25:36.720
<v Speaker 1>Most Incest family and all their fucked up stuff they had,

1543
01:25:36.760 --> 01:25:39.600
<v Speaker 1>and like they were just like to lygal with it.

1544
01:25:39.920 --> 01:25:43.880
<v Speaker 1>So to be fair, there's worst places there is.

1545
01:25:44.000 --> 01:25:47.479
<v Speaker 2>But again, she's doing this to hide her fraud. Right,

1546
01:25:47.600 --> 01:25:50.800
<v Speaker 2>She only married her brother to get legal status in

1547
01:25:50.840 --> 01:25:53.920
<v Speaker 2>the United States allegedly quote unquote, Now they'd be fucking

1548
01:25:54.159 --> 01:25:58.399
<v Speaker 2>But besides that, once she got her bullshit legal status

1549
01:25:58.439 --> 01:26:01.079
<v Speaker 2>in America, she ran for Paula and all these things.

1550
01:26:01.399 --> 01:26:03.279
<v Speaker 2>And then let's also keep in mind, in addition to

1551
01:26:03.319 --> 01:26:06.479
<v Speaker 2>all this, Representative Omar paid two hundred and fifty thousand

1552
01:26:06.520 --> 01:26:10.439
<v Speaker 2>dollars to her new boyfriend, Tim Meanett out of her

1553
01:26:10.520 --> 01:26:15.720
<v Speaker 2>campaign account. This entire situation, this entire situation is nothing

1554
01:26:15.760 --> 01:26:22.640
<v Speaker 2>more than wholesale corruption. That's from Representative Drakowski. He also concluded, nevertheless,

1555
01:26:22.760 --> 01:26:26.439
<v Speaker 2>I know a Minnesota politician who could stand for truth

1556
01:26:26.479 --> 01:26:29.319
<v Speaker 2>and the rule of law, Congressman Dean Phillips. As a

1557
01:26:29.359 --> 01:26:32.439
<v Speaker 2>member of the US House Committee on Ethics, Congressman Phillips

1558
01:26:32.479 --> 01:26:35.479
<v Speaker 2>is uniquely placed to examine the perjury, tax fraud, and

1559
01:26:35.560 --> 01:26:40.359
<v Speaker 2>other crimes committed by Representative Omar. However, Congressman Phillips remains

1560
01:26:40.359 --> 01:26:44.239
<v Speaker 2>deeply committed to partisanship and lacks the political courage to

1561
01:26:44.279 --> 01:26:48.279
<v Speaker 2>get the answers the people deserve. So, you know, that's

1562
01:26:48.359 --> 01:26:50.359
<v Speaker 2>just from that one. But let's continue here. This is

1563
01:26:50.399 --> 01:26:55.239
<v Speaker 2>from live mint dot com. This is from This is

1564
01:26:55.279 --> 01:26:58.279
<v Speaker 2>from them to talk about how Charlie Kirk even brought

1565
01:26:58.399 --> 01:27:01.920
<v Speaker 2>up the fact that she married her brother to gain citizenship.

1566
01:27:02.680 --> 01:27:06.119
<v Speaker 2>Trump attacks ilan Omar over the Charlie Kirker marks, and

1567
01:27:06.159 --> 01:27:09.199
<v Speaker 2>the controversy is explained. This is from September of this year.

1568
01:27:09.720 --> 01:27:13.800
<v Speaker 2>President Trump blasts a Democratic representative, elan Omar of Minnesota

1569
01:27:13.840 --> 01:27:17.319
<v Speaker 2>on Thursday, ripping her birth country Somalia and questioning her

1570
01:27:17.359 --> 01:27:21.000
<v Speaker 2>citizenship as well he should. In a post on x,

1571
01:27:21.039 --> 01:27:23.800
<v Speaker 2>Trump said, ilan Omar's country of Somalia is plagued by

1572
01:27:23.840 --> 01:27:28.880
<v Speaker 2>a lack of central government control, persistent poverty, hunger, resurgent terrorism, piracy,

1573
01:27:29.079 --> 01:27:34.239
<v Speaker 2>decades of civil war, corruption, and pervasive violence. For the record,

1574
01:27:34.520 --> 01:27:38.239
<v Speaker 2>no lies detected thus far, Yeah, there's none. Seventy percent

1575
01:27:38.239 --> 01:27:42.159
<v Speaker 2>of the population lives in extreme poverty and widespread food insecurity.

1576
01:27:42.439 --> 01:27:46.560
<v Speaker 2>Somalia is consistently ranked among the world's most corrupt countries,

1577
01:27:46.640 --> 01:27:52.079
<v Speaker 2>including bribery, embezzlement, and dysfunctional government. Again, no lies detected

1578
01:27:52.079 --> 01:27:54.960
<v Speaker 2>thus far. Down e tea. All of this, and ilan

1579
01:27:55.039 --> 01:27:59.399
<v Speaker 2>Omar tells us how to run America. All that's going

1580
01:27:59.439 --> 01:28:03.239
<v Speaker 2>on in her country. She's here illegally, and she's got

1581
01:28:03.279 --> 01:28:05.439
<v Speaker 2>the fucking stones to tell us how to run America.

1582
01:28:06.439 --> 01:28:10.239
<v Speaker 1>That's one thing. I don't believe that people that weren't

1583
01:28:10.359 --> 01:28:13.359
<v Speaker 1>born and raised in America, at least for the last

1584
01:28:13.439 --> 01:28:16.960
<v Speaker 1>like two generations. I mean at least the generation that

1585
01:28:16.960 --> 01:28:20.319
<v Speaker 1>they're born into and raised here. I just really don't

1586
01:28:20.319 --> 01:28:22.039
<v Speaker 1>think that they should be allowed to be in our

1587
01:28:22.800 --> 01:28:26.359
<v Speaker 1>politics at all, because you get fed so many things

1588
01:28:26.399 --> 01:28:29.399
<v Speaker 1>outside of this country. In your own home countries, You're

1589
01:28:29.439 --> 01:28:31.880
<v Speaker 1>gonna have your own experiences and your own biases and

1590
01:28:31.960 --> 01:28:34.800
<v Speaker 1>the way that your culture handles things, and all of

1591
01:28:34.800 --> 01:28:39.399
<v Speaker 1>these things that will bleed into how you handle this culture. Yeah,

1592
01:28:39.439 --> 01:28:42.640
<v Speaker 1>this country, and I'm not saying that, you know, we

1593
01:28:42.760 --> 01:28:46.560
<v Speaker 1>are a mixing pot of people, but that's one thing

1594
01:28:46.640 --> 01:28:49.640
<v Speaker 1>to be running for certain things, but to be in

1595
01:28:49.680 --> 01:28:52.000
<v Speaker 1>that high of politics, and then for her to go

1596
01:28:52.079 --> 01:28:54.680
<v Speaker 1>on Mike and be like, I'm a Somalian first, and

1597
01:28:54.720 --> 01:28:59.079
<v Speaker 1>Somalia always first, and then I'll be giving any allegiance

1598
01:28:59.159 --> 01:29:01.680
<v Speaker 1>to America. I mean that whole And then they even

1599
01:29:01.760 --> 01:29:05.399
<v Speaker 1>had that background camera in the I don't know where

1600
01:29:05.439 --> 01:29:07.119
<v Speaker 1>it was in the room with a whole bunch of them,

1601
01:29:07.159 --> 01:29:09.520
<v Speaker 1>and they were all talking about how they're gonna make

1602
01:29:09.640 --> 01:29:15.119
<v Speaker 1>this Somalia. You know, it's Smaalian nation and Somalian way

1603
01:29:15.199 --> 01:29:17.760
<v Speaker 1>and all of this stuff, and they're they're praising that,

1604
01:29:17.880 --> 01:29:18.439
<v Speaker 1>and it's like.

1605
01:29:18.560 --> 01:29:20.960
<v Speaker 2>Then go the fuck back to Somalia if you love

1606
01:29:20.960 --> 01:29:21.600
<v Speaker 2>it so much.

1607
01:29:22.319 --> 01:29:25.239
<v Speaker 1>That's but they can't win, they can't go against the

1608
01:29:25.319 --> 01:29:27.920
<v Speaker 1>terrorist groups and they can't get a foothold, so they're

1609
01:29:27.920 --> 01:29:29.800
<v Speaker 1>going to try to shift it to here. But that's

1610
01:29:29.880 --> 01:29:30.319
<v Speaker 1>they're just.

1611
01:29:30.279 --> 01:29:32.920
<v Speaker 2>Why would you want to make this an open source

1612
01:29:32.960 --> 01:29:35.119
<v Speaker 2>for terrorists to come take over like they did your

1613
01:29:35.119 --> 01:29:36.880
<v Speaker 2>home country. This makes no sense to me.

1614
01:29:37.439 --> 01:29:40.760
<v Speaker 1>It makes no sense about it's just about being Muslim.

1615
01:29:40.359 --> 01:29:42.119
<v Speaker 2>But it really is, it really is.

1616
01:29:42.520 --> 01:29:45.119
<v Speaker 1>It really has nothing to do with I think being

1617
01:29:45.119 --> 01:29:47.960
<v Speaker 1>in Somalian. I think this has to do with the

1618
01:29:48.000 --> 01:29:52.640
<v Speaker 1>religious aspect, especially the different sectors of you know, types

1619
01:29:52.680 --> 01:29:56.000
<v Speaker 1>of Muslims that are there. There's various types, and the

1620
01:29:56.039 --> 01:29:58.560
<v Speaker 1>more extreme ones are the ones that are wanting to

1621
01:29:58.560 --> 01:30:02.760
<v Speaker 1>push this on every There are good Muslims that just

1622
01:30:02.800 --> 01:30:04.800
<v Speaker 1>want to practice their religion and they just want to

1623
01:30:04.800 --> 01:30:07.279
<v Speaker 1>be peaceful and they just you know, you do you

1624
01:30:07.560 --> 01:30:11.840
<v Speaker 1>we do us cool, cool, cool. But the extremists are

1625
01:30:12.279 --> 01:30:16.399
<v Speaker 1>gathering there are gaining forces, and they are bleeding into everything.

1626
01:30:16.920 --> 01:30:20.560
<v Speaker 1>And honestly, the Muslims that don't convert to that are

1627
01:30:20.680 --> 01:30:22.199
<v Speaker 1>being tortured and killed.

1628
01:30:22.000 --> 01:30:23.479
<v Speaker 2>As well by Muslims.

1629
01:30:23.840 --> 01:30:27.600
<v Speaker 1>By Muslims. Yeah, Isis is a great example. They they

1630
01:30:27.640 --> 01:30:29.720
<v Speaker 1>will fuck people up left and right if they don't

1631
01:30:29.720 --> 01:30:34.159
<v Speaker 1>convert into their ideology, so that all boils down to religion.

1632
01:30:34.319 --> 01:30:36.479
<v Speaker 2>We just talked about this in Nigeria not too terrible

1633
01:30:36.520 --> 01:30:38.960
<v Speaker 2>long ago. Yeah, there's a Christian genocide going on, yes,

1634
01:30:39.199 --> 01:30:42.680
<v Speaker 2>but there was also moderate Muslims that were killed alongside

1635
01:30:42.680 --> 01:30:46.119
<v Speaker 2>the Christians because they weren't Muslim enough for the terrorist groups.

1636
01:30:46.680 --> 01:30:48.920
<v Speaker 1>Well, that's a lot of the people too, though. When

1637
01:30:49.039 --> 01:30:53.000
<v Speaker 1>we pulled out of Afghanistan and Iraq, they were killed

1638
01:30:53.000 --> 01:30:57.600
<v Speaker 1>too because they helped Americans, or they looked more modern,

1639
01:30:57.680 --> 01:31:00.720
<v Speaker 1>or they adopted modern ideology, and they they more or

1640
01:31:00.800 --> 01:31:04.880
<v Speaker 1>less shifted in their ways. Some of these extremist groups

1641
01:31:04.960 --> 01:31:08.439
<v Speaker 1>are all about the old ways and the ways of

1642
01:31:08.520 --> 01:31:10.920
<v Speaker 1>doing things that they feel is the way it's right.

1643
01:31:10.960 --> 01:31:13.119
<v Speaker 1>And if you don't convert, then you die as well.

1644
01:31:13.239 --> 01:31:17.159
<v Speaker 1>So it's not just Muslims wanting to take over Every

1645
01:31:17.239 --> 01:31:20.720
<v Speaker 1>Muslim is horrible. That is not the same conversation, right,

1646
01:31:20.880 --> 01:31:23.680
<v Speaker 1>But there is a lot to be said that Muslims

1647
01:31:23.720 --> 01:31:26.640
<v Speaker 1>are sweeping the world right now and having a lot

1648
01:31:26.680 --> 01:31:29.720
<v Speaker 1>of issues that are happening in various countries.

1649
01:31:29.960 --> 01:31:32.479
<v Speaker 2>It's called the global into fada. We're going to get

1650
01:31:32.479 --> 01:31:34.279
<v Speaker 2>more into that one here in a bit. But anyway

1651
01:31:34.760 --> 01:31:36.479
<v Speaker 2>to circle back to your point that you made, I

1652
01:31:36.520 --> 01:31:39.039
<v Speaker 2>don't have a problem with the first generation. Like if

1653
01:31:39.079 --> 01:31:42.239
<v Speaker 2>you were born on US soil and you run for politics,

1654
01:31:42.239 --> 01:31:45.239
<v Speaker 2>I'm good with that personally, right because then you are

1655
01:31:45.279 --> 01:31:47.920
<v Speaker 2>brought up in that household that is trying to hold

1656
01:31:48.000 --> 01:31:50.159
<v Speaker 2>still to that culture of where you come from, and

1657
01:31:50.199 --> 01:31:53.119
<v Speaker 2>you will be a representation of that culture in America.

1658
01:31:53.119 --> 01:31:55.680
<v Speaker 2>I got no problems with this. I don't, but to

1659
01:31:55.720 --> 01:31:57.239
<v Speaker 2>be honest with you, if I had it my way,

1660
01:31:57.279 --> 01:31:59.239
<v Speaker 2>you wouldn't be allowed to serve in any kind of

1661
01:31:59.239 --> 01:32:03.520
<v Speaker 2>political spectrum unless you've served your nation. That's just me,

1662
01:32:03.560 --> 01:32:04.680
<v Speaker 2>and I know I mean as if.

1663
01:32:04.760 --> 01:32:07.199
<v Speaker 1>I think all of them should be should at least

1664
01:32:07.479 --> 01:32:09.840
<v Speaker 1>four years in the military in some type.

1665
01:32:09.680 --> 01:32:12.439
<v Speaker 2>Not even military. I have said this on the show

1666
01:32:12.479 --> 01:32:14.359
<v Speaker 2>quite a few times. I have no problem if you

1667
01:32:14.439 --> 01:32:21.159
<v Speaker 2>have military, police officer, firefighter, first responders. Hell, I'll even

1668
01:32:21.199 --> 01:32:26.439
<v Speaker 2>put certain community outreach programs because there's like, not to

1669
01:32:26.520 --> 01:32:28.760
<v Speaker 2>go too far off of a tangent on this one,

1670
01:32:28.800 --> 01:32:34.079
<v Speaker 2>but we could hypothetically start something along the lines of, like, uh,

1671
01:32:35.039 --> 01:32:38.399
<v Speaker 2>what's it called the peace people? Not Green Peace? What's

1672
01:32:38.399 --> 01:32:39.399
<v Speaker 2>it called the peace Corps?

1673
01:32:39.720 --> 01:32:40.520
<v Speaker 1>The peace Corps?

1674
01:32:40.640 --> 01:32:43.600
<v Speaker 2>Hear me out. If we were to have an American based,

1675
01:32:43.800 --> 01:32:47.159
<v Speaker 2>buy America for America peace Corps, where you dedicate four

1676
01:32:47.239 --> 01:32:48.800
<v Speaker 2>years of your life, not in some sort of a

1677
01:32:48.840 --> 01:32:51.600
<v Speaker 2>combat role or something where you're carrying a weapon or

1678
01:32:51.600 --> 01:32:54.840
<v Speaker 2>going into harm's way. If you were to dedicate four

1679
01:32:54.920 --> 01:32:59.039
<v Speaker 2>years of your life literally to bettering your community, you

1680
01:32:59.079 --> 01:33:02.000
<v Speaker 2>get paid, daw, just like all the other public servants

1681
01:33:02.079 --> 01:33:05.079
<v Speaker 2>get paid. I would take that as you serving your

1682
01:33:05.119 --> 01:33:07.920
<v Speaker 2>community in whatever way is possible, and then you would

1683
01:33:08.000 --> 01:33:10.279
<v Speaker 2>earn your right to vote. You would earn your right

1684
01:33:10.359 --> 01:33:13.199
<v Speaker 2>to be in the political spectrum in any way, shape

1685
01:33:13.279 --> 01:33:17.319
<v Speaker 2>or form that is. It blows my mind that any

1686
01:33:17.439 --> 01:33:20.840
<v Speaker 2>Joe Blow that gets enough votes can be somebody in DC.

1687
01:33:21.199 --> 01:33:25.079
<v Speaker 2>Fuck that, what is that person done to serve their nation? Actually,

1688
01:33:25.399 --> 01:33:28.159
<v Speaker 2>but I know that people think that I'm some sort

1689
01:33:28.199 --> 01:33:30.760
<v Speaker 2>of a crazy bigot for saying this. I don't know,

1690
01:33:31.520 --> 01:33:34.159
<v Speaker 2>that's just me. You ever seen Starship Troopers how they're

1691
01:33:34.199 --> 01:33:37.439
<v Speaker 2>like trying to do something to earn citizenship. I feel

1692
01:33:37.479 --> 01:33:40.560
<v Speaker 2>like we should have something akin to that. I feel

1693
01:33:40.560 --> 01:33:42.159
<v Speaker 2>like that would actually go a lot better. And I've

1694
01:33:42.199 --> 01:33:44.239
<v Speaker 2>even had this conversation with people that were.

1695
01:33:44.119 --> 01:33:46.600
<v Speaker 1>Like, oh, you're just that would get kind of money

1696
01:33:46.640 --> 01:33:47.800
<v Speaker 1>depending on what.

1697
01:33:48.439 --> 01:33:51.520
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, you have to serve honorably. I should mention that too.

1698
01:33:52.119 --> 01:33:54.359
<v Speaker 1>That's a hard thing I do. I do feel like

1699
01:33:54.520 --> 01:33:57.159
<v Speaker 1>we should have at least is it China that does

1700
01:33:57.199 --> 01:33:57.800
<v Speaker 1>two years?

1701
01:33:58.039 --> 01:34:00.239
<v Speaker 2>Oh no, I don't want force subscription either, because because

1702
01:34:00.239 --> 01:34:02.079
<v Speaker 2>then you get the worst of the worst as well

1703
01:34:02.079 --> 01:34:04.680
<v Speaker 2>as the best of the best, and the bad outweigh

1704
01:34:04.680 --> 01:34:05.560
<v Speaker 2>the good on that one.

1705
01:34:06.319 --> 01:34:09.560
<v Speaker 1>Well, I mean, at least having some type of uh

1706
01:34:10.159 --> 01:34:14.359
<v Speaker 1>forced public service, you know, to better our country. At

1707
01:34:14.439 --> 01:34:17.560
<v Speaker 1>least some kind of motivational I mean, hell, it could

1708
01:34:17.600 --> 01:34:20.399
<v Speaker 1>even be I don't know, picking up trash, like and

1709
01:34:20.439 --> 01:34:22.680
<v Speaker 1>we're not nothing crazy.

1710
01:34:22.279 --> 01:34:24.840
<v Speaker 2>But like you, if it's forced, then that drags down

1711
01:34:24.880 --> 01:34:28.279
<v Speaker 2>everybody else. Yeah, that's that's my only issue with it.

1712
01:34:28.359 --> 01:34:28.760
<v Speaker 2>I hear you.

1713
01:34:28.800 --> 01:34:32.199
<v Speaker 1>Most people aren't going to volunteer for bettering your country,

1714
01:34:32.359 --> 01:34:33.279
<v Speaker 1>so it's just.

1715
01:34:33.279 --> 01:34:35.680
<v Speaker 2>And those people don't get a right to vote.

1716
01:34:36.319 --> 01:34:38.399
<v Speaker 1>That is not not ever going to be a thing here.

1717
01:34:38.439 --> 01:34:40.520
<v Speaker 2>Oh no, I know, because I've also had that conversation

1718
01:34:40.560 --> 01:34:43.000
<v Speaker 2>where It's like, well, if they're still taxing me, I

1719
01:34:43.000 --> 01:34:45.680
<v Speaker 2>should vote. No, the fuck you don't. Tax have been

1720
01:34:45.720 --> 01:34:47.880
<v Speaker 2>around since the beginning of time, even when the Kings

1721
01:34:47.880 --> 01:34:50.520
<v Speaker 2>were in charge. That is your payment for being allowed

1722
01:34:50.520 --> 01:34:52.640
<v Speaker 2>to live on this land. The fuck out of here.

1723
01:34:52.680 --> 01:34:55.159
<v Speaker 2>Everybody pays taxes. And then I was like, I heard

1724
01:34:55.199 --> 01:34:57.520
<v Speaker 2>somebody else say, well, then you're just killing the black vote,

1725
01:34:57.560 --> 01:34:59.600
<v Speaker 2>like right off the rip, and I'm like, brother, go

1726
01:34:59.680 --> 01:35:02.479
<v Speaker 2>to any v A clinic and tell me that the

1727
01:35:02.479 --> 01:35:05.039
<v Speaker 2>black vote actually wouldn't have a louder voice if what

1728
01:35:05.119 --> 01:35:07.880
<v Speaker 2>I'm talking about was enacted. I'm just gonna throw it

1729
01:35:07.920 --> 01:35:11.039
<v Speaker 2>out here, but it Yeah, it actually would put things

1730
01:35:11.039 --> 01:35:14.439
<v Speaker 2>more on an even keel. Minorities and the majorities and

1731
01:35:14.439 --> 01:35:16.680
<v Speaker 2>everything else. If you had to serve your community or

1732
01:35:16.760 --> 01:35:19.079
<v Speaker 2>your state or your country to have your voice be

1733
01:35:19.159 --> 01:35:22.119
<v Speaker 2>heard in a public space, this would make it so

1734
01:35:22.399 --> 01:35:26.279
<v Speaker 2>fair and balance that it would be revolutionary. But yeah, no,

1735
01:35:26.399 --> 01:35:30.079
<v Speaker 2>to your point, it's never gonna happen because that's just

1736
01:35:30.119 --> 01:35:32.680
<v Speaker 2>not how people do things. Anyway. Anyway, getting back.

1737
01:35:32.600 --> 01:35:35.439
<v Speaker 1>To you go back to get an old omar.

1738
01:35:35.680 --> 01:35:38.159
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, so uh. Anyway, so he says, wasn't she the

1739
01:35:38.159 --> 01:35:40.399
<v Speaker 2>one that made this is Trump? Wasn't she the one

1740
01:35:40.439 --> 01:35:43.000
<v Speaker 2>that married her brother in order to gain citizenship? What

1741
01:35:43.319 --> 01:35:45.720
<v Speaker 2>scum we have in our country telling us what to

1742
01:35:45.720 --> 01:35:47.359
<v Speaker 2>do and how to do it? Thank you for your

1743
01:35:47.359 --> 01:35:51.239
<v Speaker 2>attention on this matter. Make America great again? Uh? What

1744
01:35:51.319 --> 01:35:56.239
<v Speaker 2>Trump's remarks about Representative Elan Omar came as the House

1745
01:35:56.279 --> 01:35:59.279
<v Speaker 2>of Representative sought to censor her, overcome and she made

1746
01:35:59.279 --> 01:36:04.399
<v Speaker 2>regarding the day of conservative activist Charlie Kirk, which also, yeah,

1747
01:36:04.479 --> 01:36:06.439
<v Speaker 2>she really does need to be removed from her position,

1748
01:36:06.720 --> 01:36:10.600
<v Speaker 2>but either way it goes. Omar, an immigrant who criticized

1749
01:36:10.640 --> 01:36:13.319
<v Speaker 2>Kirk's views on gun ownership and race relations in the

1750
01:36:13.359 --> 01:36:18.560
<v Speaker 2>aftermath of George Floyd's death, was targeted by GOP representatives

1751
01:36:18.840 --> 01:36:22.239
<v Speaker 2>Nancy Mace of South Carolina, who argue that Omar should

1752
01:36:22.279 --> 01:36:26.239
<v Speaker 2>be deported to Somalia. I agree. Omar was born in

1753
01:36:26.279 --> 01:36:29.439
<v Speaker 2>Somalia and became a US citizen in two thousand. The

1754
01:36:29.600 --> 01:36:31.760
<v Speaker 2>two hundred and fourteen to two hundred and thirteen roll

1755
01:36:31.880 --> 01:36:36.279
<v Speaker 2>Call shelved a resolution from GOP Nancy Mace of South

1756
01:36:36.319 --> 01:36:39.840
<v Speaker 2>Carolina to censor her. So they shelved it. Basically they

1757
01:36:39.840 --> 01:36:41.920
<v Speaker 2>were trying to censor her, and it was split damn

1758
01:36:41.960 --> 01:36:45.199
<v Speaker 2>near down the middle, so it got shelved and have

1759
01:36:45.319 --> 01:36:51.079
<v Speaker 2>her removed from two House committees, Education, Workforce and Budget. Okay,

1760
01:36:51.720 --> 01:36:54.920
<v Speaker 2>the two have feuded viciously on social media. The two

1761
01:36:54.920 --> 01:36:56.840
<v Speaker 2>have engaged in a bitter feud on social media, with

1762
01:36:56.920 --> 01:37:00.680
<v Speaker 2>Mace accusing Omar pushing harmful rhetoric, while Omar has countered

1763
01:37:00.680 --> 01:37:04.560
<v Speaker 2>by accusing Mas of spreading false narratives and to fundraise

1764
01:37:04.640 --> 01:37:11.000
<v Speaker 2>and further her goober national ambitions. That's a weird word there, Omar.

1765
01:37:11.520 --> 01:37:14.399
<v Speaker 2>The influence of Charlie Kirk, both personally and politically, is

1766
01:37:14.439 --> 01:37:17.680
<v Speaker 2>deeply felt on Capitol Hill, with figures like Mike Johnson

1767
01:37:18.039 --> 01:37:20.960
<v Speaker 2>counting him as a friend. In the week's following Kirk's assassination,

1768
01:37:21.079 --> 01:37:24.079
<v Speaker 2>his memory has been honored through various tributes both large

1769
01:37:24.119 --> 01:37:28.600
<v Speaker 2>and small. Yeah, that was to do. Let's see, it's

1770
01:37:28.640 --> 01:37:31.159
<v Speaker 2>not the first time Congress has taken action against Omar

1771
01:37:31.439 --> 01:37:35.319
<v Speaker 2>or other lawmakers. In twenty twenty three, Omar was removed

1772
01:37:35.319 --> 01:37:38.439
<v Speaker 2>from her position on the House Foreign Affairs Committee, marking

1773
01:37:38.479 --> 01:37:41.359
<v Speaker 2>a shift in how censors and punishments are handed down

1774
01:37:41.359 --> 01:37:46.079
<v Speaker 2>in Congress. When Nancy Mace introduced a resolution to censer Omar.

1775
01:37:46.640 --> 01:37:50.399
<v Speaker 2>Democratic Representative Greg Kasser of Texas quickly responded with a

1776
01:37:50.479 --> 01:37:54.399
<v Speaker 2>counter effort to censor Corey Mills, or a Republican from Florida,

1777
01:37:54.720 --> 01:37:59.399
<v Speaker 2>over allegations related to his personal and professional conduct. Mills

1778
01:37:59.479 --> 01:38:02.159
<v Speaker 2>was one of four Republicans who sided with Democrats to

1779
01:38:02.239 --> 01:38:07.159
<v Speaker 2>reject the resolution against Omar. So literally, your boy as

1780
01:38:07.159 --> 01:38:10.439
<v Speaker 2>a as a retort, we should silence Omar, a Republican

1781
01:38:10.520 --> 01:38:13.600
<v Speaker 2>said that about a Democrat. So a Democrats like, we

1782
01:38:13.640 --> 01:38:16.399
<v Speaker 2>should silence your boy Mills. He's doing that to a

1783
01:38:16.439 --> 01:38:19.840
<v Speaker 2>Republicans even though he literally just sided with y'all about

1784
01:38:20.239 --> 01:38:21.199
<v Speaker 2>this whole situation.

1785
01:38:22.039 --> 01:38:26.000
<v Speaker 1>So, you know, love how dumb they are. They really are.

1786
01:38:26.239 --> 01:38:29.000
<v Speaker 1>Republicans are just as stupid. Both sides are dumb. A

1787
01:38:29.039 --> 01:38:30.279
<v Speaker 1>lot of the times they are.

1788
01:38:30.359 --> 01:38:33.039
<v Speaker 2>It's a pendulum swing. As of right now, the Democrats

1789
01:38:33.039 --> 01:38:35.279
<v Speaker 2>are looking way more retarded. But I mean, give it

1790
01:38:35.319 --> 01:38:37.479
<v Speaker 2>another couple of years, Republicans are going to look like

1791
01:38:37.520 --> 01:38:40.680
<v Speaker 2>the idiots again, like on on mass more.

1792
01:38:41.079 --> 01:38:43.039
<v Speaker 1>You know, you know, it just goes back and forth

1793
01:38:43.039 --> 01:38:46.000
<v Speaker 1>and back and forth. I will say, uh, what's it,

1794
01:38:46.119 --> 01:38:51.079
<v Speaker 1>Bill Carson? Now Bill Maher, the black the black doctor.

1795
01:38:52.399 --> 01:38:58.119
<v Speaker 2>Yeah yeah right, yeah? Is it a he ran for president?

1796
01:38:58.680 --> 01:39:02.359
<v Speaker 1>Yeah? I voted for I wanted him or before he

1797
01:39:02.399 --> 01:39:05.000
<v Speaker 1>pulled out, I was so dead set on voting for him.

1798
01:39:05.079 --> 01:39:09.319
<v Speaker 1>I wanted him so bad. But he actually roasted AOC

1799
01:39:09.479 --> 01:39:14.239
<v Speaker 1>in a live public form and it was fantastic. But she, oh, yeah, no,

1800
01:39:14.399 --> 01:39:16.479
<v Speaker 1>I just do you want to talk about something?

1801
01:39:16.560 --> 01:39:20.279
<v Speaker 2>I just like, Yes, I liked him, but also I

1802
01:39:20.319 --> 01:39:24.239
<v Speaker 2>didn't know if he had the backbone to be president.

1803
01:39:24.840 --> 01:39:27.960
<v Speaker 1>He does. He does if you listen to him, actually,

1804
01:39:28.319 --> 01:39:30.880
<v Speaker 1>but a lot of people don't actually listen to the

1805
01:39:31.279 --> 01:39:37.960
<v Speaker 1>live proceedings. He is very direct, very very vicious, but

1806
01:39:38.039 --> 01:39:41.920
<v Speaker 1>in a very politically polite way. But he definitely gets

1807
01:39:41.920 --> 01:39:45.600
<v Speaker 1>his point across. I want him to run so badly

1808
01:39:46.079 --> 01:39:47.159
<v Speaker 1>because I love him.

1809
01:39:47.000 --> 01:39:49.119
<v Speaker 2>But I like him a lot. I do. I just

1810
01:39:49.319 --> 01:39:54.399
<v Speaker 2>I don't know actually believe it or not. I didn't

1811
01:39:54.399 --> 01:39:56.800
<v Speaker 2>even vote for Trump. I voted for the libertarian candidate

1812
01:39:56.800 --> 01:39:58.960
<v Speaker 2>because I liked her platform a whole lot more at

1813
01:39:58.960 --> 01:40:05.119
<v Speaker 2>that moment. Well, girl with the no doctor Jorgensen, she

1814
01:40:05.119 --> 01:40:05.439
<v Speaker 2>she didn't.

1815
01:40:05.920 --> 01:40:08.760
<v Speaker 1>I voted libertarian before too. Yeah, to be a fair,

1816
01:40:08.800 --> 01:40:11.319
<v Speaker 1>There's been a couple of people that I've really wanted

1817
01:40:11.359 --> 01:40:14.560
<v Speaker 1>that I knew, honestly, you weren't gonna win. But I'm like,

1818
01:40:14.680 --> 01:40:17.399
<v Speaker 1>I can't justify voting for the candidates that are on

1819
01:40:17.560 --> 01:40:20.560
<v Speaker 1>like the docket at the moment, that are slated to

1820
01:40:20.600 --> 01:40:22.760
<v Speaker 1>win potentially. I'm like, I want to vote for somebody

1821
01:40:22.760 --> 01:40:24.199
<v Speaker 1>that I actually agree with.

1822
01:40:24.399 --> 01:40:27.600
<v Speaker 2>Yeah. So this was Trump's first run, and people are, well,

1823
01:40:27.640 --> 01:40:29.760
<v Speaker 2>you didn't like Trump, and it's like, it's not that

1824
01:40:29.800 --> 01:40:34.039
<v Speaker 2>I didn't like him, I liked her more and I

1825
01:40:34.079 --> 01:40:37.199
<v Speaker 2>and people think that I'm crazy for this. I believe

1826
01:40:37.199 --> 01:40:39.880
<v Speaker 2>that you should vote where your morals tell you to vote,

1827
01:40:40.399 --> 01:40:43.279
<v Speaker 2>not just where your party affiliates are, because well.

1828
01:40:43.560 --> 01:40:48.199
<v Speaker 1>People were scared though. I think people were scared voting, voting.

1829
01:40:48.239 --> 01:40:50.760
<v Speaker 1>You know, they didn't want one one party in versus

1830
01:40:50.760 --> 01:40:53.239
<v Speaker 1>the other, and so they voted for whatever candidate they

1831
01:40:53.239 --> 01:40:54.800
<v Speaker 1>felt like was gonna get it.

1832
01:40:55.520 --> 01:40:58.279
<v Speaker 2>So but that's what kills me. It's like, well, there's

1833
01:40:58.319 --> 01:41:00.680
<v Speaker 2>never gonna be a third party candidate that actually has

1834
01:41:00.720 --> 01:41:03.079
<v Speaker 2>a chance. Well not with that fucking attitude.

1835
01:41:03.439 --> 01:41:06.520
<v Speaker 1>There has been a couple in the last you know, god,

1836
01:41:06.960 --> 01:41:10.000
<v Speaker 1>how many I don't even remember. I'm even eighteen. There's

1837
01:41:10.039 --> 01:41:14.199
<v Speaker 1>been a few that I actually really liked and I voted.

1838
01:41:14.239 --> 01:41:16.399
<v Speaker 1>I went on my way to vote for them specifically

1839
01:41:16.479 --> 01:41:19.279
<v Speaker 1>because I'm like, no, I just would rather agree with it.

1840
01:41:19.359 --> 01:41:22.319
<v Speaker 1>There should be. I honestly wish there was a third

1841
01:41:22.359 --> 01:41:25.840
<v Speaker 1>party president because I feel that we would have a

1842
01:41:25.880 --> 01:41:28.800
<v Speaker 1>better I feel like people at first would be pissed,

1843
01:41:28.840 --> 01:41:31.560
<v Speaker 1>but then once things started moving in a positive direction,

1844
01:41:31.920 --> 01:41:33.720
<v Speaker 1>I feel like a lot of the people in the country,

1845
01:41:33.760 --> 01:41:36.960
<v Speaker 1>a lot of our issues would be silenced or not silence,

1846
01:41:37.039 --> 01:41:37.640
<v Speaker 1>but go down.

1847
01:41:37.760 --> 01:41:40.840
<v Speaker 2>So hopefully, right, that's hopefully that's the idea. But then

1848
01:41:40.880 --> 01:41:43.520
<v Speaker 2>you have what was it the last independent candidate that

1849
01:41:43.560 --> 01:41:46.960
<v Speaker 2>got It wasn't like nine percent. It was something where

1850
01:41:46.960 --> 01:41:50.159
<v Speaker 2>they got like a decent shot and both sides.

1851
01:41:49.880 --> 01:41:52.159
<v Speaker 1>A lady with the glasses, it's.

1852
01:41:52.000 --> 01:41:55.520
<v Speaker 2>That wasn't that wasn't it was independent though, Oh okay,

1853
01:41:55.720 --> 01:41:57.680
<v Speaker 2>I'm trying to remember there was, because you always have

1854
01:41:57.760 --> 01:42:00.960
<v Speaker 2>like the great that was always one out ran Paul.

1855
01:42:01.279 --> 01:42:02.960
<v Speaker 2>I know he had a decent run at one point

1856
01:42:03.000 --> 01:42:06.960
<v Speaker 2>in time. But then like they see them as a threat,

1857
01:42:06.960 --> 01:42:09.920
<v Speaker 2>and by day, I mean both Republicans and Democrats see

1858
01:42:10.000 --> 01:42:11.920
<v Speaker 2>any third party candidate.

1859
01:42:11.600 --> 01:42:13.680
<v Speaker 1>As a threat after them so hard.

1860
01:42:13.479 --> 01:42:16.600
<v Speaker 2>Because they're taking votes away from both and so they

1861
01:42:16.640 --> 01:42:19.199
<v Speaker 2>see it as like it's a double negative. So they'll

1862
01:42:19.199 --> 01:42:21.800
<v Speaker 2>combine forces just to shit on the third option. And

1863
01:42:21.840 --> 01:42:25.279
<v Speaker 2>it's like, Okay, I understand why your tactics tell you

1864
01:42:25.319 --> 01:42:28.039
<v Speaker 2>that this is the right way. But for the American people,

1865
01:42:28.720 --> 01:42:32.279
<v Speaker 2>if this person seems like a way better option, why

1866
01:42:32.279 --> 01:42:34.600
<v Speaker 2>wouldn't you throw your vote into that ring? Well, because

1867
01:42:34.640 --> 01:42:36.479
<v Speaker 2>then my vote will be wasted. Well, you know what

1868
01:42:36.520 --> 01:42:37.239
<v Speaker 2>would that attitude?

1869
01:42:37.279 --> 01:42:40.199
<v Speaker 1>You're fucking right, that's fair. A lot of people do

1870
01:42:40.840 --> 01:42:43.640
<v Speaker 1>believe that your vote will be wasted. I honestly I

1871
01:42:43.720 --> 01:42:47.079
<v Speaker 1>felt like that too when I did vote for it

1872
01:42:47.079 --> 01:42:48.880
<v Speaker 1>at the one time, because I was like, man, I

1873
01:42:48.960 --> 01:42:50.520
<v Speaker 1>know that, I feel like I'm just pissing in the

1874
01:42:50.560 --> 01:42:53.359
<v Speaker 1>wind here. But I also felt like at least they

1875
01:42:53.479 --> 01:42:56.960
<v Speaker 1>voted for somebody that that I wanted. But who knows.

1876
01:42:57.000 --> 01:43:00.960
<v Speaker 1>People people are strange. Maybe own will get kicked out

1877
01:43:00.960 --> 01:43:02.000
<v Speaker 1>of her position again.

1878
01:43:02.359 --> 01:43:05.720
<v Speaker 2>Hopefully she gets deported. That would be dope. That'd be great, man.

1879
01:43:05.760 --> 01:43:08.079
<v Speaker 1>I feel like they would lose people would lose their

1880
01:43:08.119 --> 01:43:09.840
<v Speaker 1>minds if he actually deported her.

1881
01:43:10.279 --> 01:43:13.479
<v Speaker 2>I mean, if AOC I wish she was a foreign national,

1882
01:43:13.560 --> 01:43:16.359
<v Speaker 2>she really does need to get deported. That'd be amazing.

1883
01:43:17.079 --> 01:43:19.640
<v Speaker 1>She's one of the stupidest human beings.

1884
01:43:20.000 --> 01:43:22.680
<v Speaker 2>Well, this is what happens when a career bartender becomes

1885
01:43:22.680 --> 01:43:24.439
<v Speaker 2>a politician, has not.

1886
01:43:25.479 --> 01:43:27.720
<v Speaker 1>It has nothing to do with her career choice. It's

1887
01:43:27.800 --> 01:43:31.600
<v Speaker 1>her person, the person of like she is trash in

1888
01:43:31.640 --> 01:43:34.520
<v Speaker 1>and of herself as a human being. It has nothing

1889
01:43:34.560 --> 01:43:37.279
<v Speaker 1>to do with being a bartender at all. That doesn't

1890
01:43:37.680 --> 01:43:41.239
<v Speaker 1>weigh into her you know, education or having a brain

1891
01:43:41.319 --> 01:43:43.479
<v Speaker 1>or anything. I mean, a lot of people have different

1892
01:43:44.199 --> 01:43:47.319
<v Speaker 1>ways and walks of life. That doesn't prove any different.

1893
01:43:47.920 --> 01:43:51.119
<v Speaker 1>That's like saying plant workers are stupid.

1894
01:43:51.239 --> 01:43:54.359
<v Speaker 2>I'm gonna be honest with you. I've worked in many plants.

1895
01:43:54.479 --> 01:43:55.880
<v Speaker 2>I don't know if I would vote for any of

1896
01:43:55.920 --> 01:43:57.800
<v Speaker 2>those motherfuckers to be running the country.

1897
01:43:58.239 --> 01:44:00.359
<v Speaker 1>But there might be some here and there that are

1898
01:44:00.359 --> 01:44:03.920
<v Speaker 1>actually extremely intelligent human beings. They just you know, lucky

1899
01:44:03.920 --> 01:44:04.920
<v Speaker 1>the draw kind of a thing.

1900
01:44:05.159 --> 01:44:05.399
<v Speaker 2>Sure.

1901
01:44:05.720 --> 01:44:11.319
<v Speaker 1>What I don't like about her is she's an habitual liar. Well, yeah, outright.

1902
01:44:11.760 --> 01:44:14.560
<v Speaker 1>She says, Wow, that landas shit that has no backing.

1903
01:44:14.680 --> 01:44:17.720
<v Speaker 1>She doesn't understand half the crap she's even saying. She

1904
01:44:17.840 --> 01:44:22.319
<v Speaker 1>somehow holds sway over the younger generation, but sways them

1905
01:44:22.319 --> 01:44:24.840
<v Speaker 1>in ways that like, I don't understand.

1906
01:44:25.000 --> 01:44:27.079
<v Speaker 2>You remember her kids in cages thing, when she was

1907
01:44:27.119 --> 01:44:29.159
<v Speaker 2>like laying up against the fence crying and then when

1908
01:44:29.199 --> 01:44:32.079
<v Speaker 2>you pan out, she was just at a parking lot. Yes,

1909
01:44:32.439 --> 01:44:34.039
<v Speaker 2>that there was just cars on the other side of

1910
01:44:34.079 --> 01:44:34.359
<v Speaker 2>that fence.

1911
01:44:34.399 --> 01:44:36.039
<v Speaker 1>That wasn't There's been a lot well, I mean her

1912
01:44:36.039 --> 01:44:39.199
<v Speaker 1>whole thing about January sixth as well, like there's so

1913
01:44:39.600 --> 01:44:41.680
<v Speaker 1>much to do in and of itself, and we've gotten

1914
01:44:41.680 --> 01:44:43.199
<v Speaker 1>way off track now, yeah we have.

1915
01:44:43.319 --> 01:44:46.279
<v Speaker 2>But it's okay, yeah anyway, anyway, all right, So now

1916
01:44:46.359 --> 01:44:48.520
<v Speaker 2>let's dive into a little bit of the history of

1917
01:44:48.560 --> 01:44:52.720
<v Speaker 2>Somali's in Minneapolis, specifically in Saint Paul. All right, this

1918
01:44:52.760 --> 01:44:55.720
<v Speaker 2>is actually from Wikipedia. So Somalis are an ethic group

1919
01:44:55.800 --> 01:44:59.640
<v Speaker 2>in Minnesota's or Minneapolis is Saint Paul metropolitan area that

1920
01:44:59.640 --> 01:45:03.239
<v Speaker 2>makes up the largest Somali diasporas in the United States.

1921
01:45:03.560 --> 01:45:06.600
<v Speaker 2>By twenty eighteen, approximately forty three thousand people born in

1922
01:45:06.640 --> 01:45:10.479
<v Speaker 2>Somalia were living in Minnesota, and approximately ninety four thousand

1923
01:45:10.479 --> 01:45:15.319
<v Speaker 2>Minnesotans spoke Somali language at home. Now, I don't understand

1924
01:45:15.319 --> 01:45:20.880
<v Speaker 2>how that one works out specifically, but cool, so little

1925
01:45:20.920 --> 01:45:25.680
<v Speaker 2>under one hundred thousand people in Minnesota are Somali speakers actually,

1926
01:45:26.039 --> 01:45:29.640
<v Speaker 2>all right, so the history of it. Ethnic Somalis first

1927
01:45:29.680 --> 01:45:32.439
<v Speaker 2>immigrated to the Twin Cities in the United States after

1928
01:45:32.479 --> 01:45:34.279
<v Speaker 2>the start of the civil war in Somalia during the

1929
01:45:34.359 --> 01:45:37.920
<v Speaker 2>early nineteen nineties, or from other parts of the Greater Somalia.

1930
01:45:38.319 --> 01:45:40.680
<v Speaker 2>Many of the newer arrivals moved to Minnesota through the

1931
01:45:40.720 --> 01:45:45.520
<v Speaker 2>Voluntary Agency's volags, who helped them settle in. Somalis who

1932
01:45:45.560 --> 01:45:50.319
<v Speaker 2>had arrived earlier also assisted the more recent immigrants. Somalis

1933
01:45:50.319 --> 01:45:52.760
<v Speaker 2>in the Twin Cities and elsewhere in the United States

1934
01:45:52.800 --> 01:45:57.279
<v Speaker 2>often send resources to their extended families abroad, remittances that

1935
01:45:57.399 --> 01:46:02.119
<v Speaker 2>were facilitated by the signing of the Money Remittants Improvement Act.

1936
01:46:02.920 --> 01:46:06.920
<v Speaker 2>Following a greatly improved security situation in Somalia in twenty twelve,

1937
01:46:06.960 --> 01:46:10.680
<v Speaker 2>many Somali US residents have also begun returning to Mogadishu

1938
01:46:11.119 --> 01:46:13.000
<v Speaker 2>and other parts of the country. I feel like that's

1939
01:46:13.000 --> 01:46:14.920
<v Speaker 2>probably not accurate as at this moment, but we'll get

1940
01:46:14.960 --> 01:46:17.039
<v Speaker 2>to that in a bit. A few of the homeward

1941
01:46:17.039 --> 01:46:20.039
<v Speaker 2>bound immigrants, along with some American born associates, have been

1942
01:46:20.640 --> 01:46:25.039
<v Speaker 2>sought and or prosecuted for allegedly providing material support to

1943
01:46:25.199 --> 01:46:29.800
<v Speaker 2>the Al Shabab and Islamic State political militant groups. Just

1944
01:46:29.840 --> 01:46:32.439
<v Speaker 2>so we're all clear here, these are two different things,

1945
01:46:32.479 --> 01:46:35.199
<v Speaker 2>and we're gonna break these down more. The Islamic State

1946
01:46:35.279 --> 01:46:40.439
<v Speaker 2>affiliates and the al Shabab affiliates, they're almost like warring gangs.

1947
01:46:41.279 --> 01:46:43.800
<v Speaker 2>If we're gonna get technical, it's the same as saying

1948
01:46:43.840 --> 01:46:47.680
<v Speaker 2>ISIS versus al Qaeda, and we're gonna break all of

1949
01:46:47.720 --> 01:46:50.079
<v Speaker 2>that down just so we're all on the same page.

1950
01:46:50.079 --> 01:46:55.760
<v Speaker 2>But they're both Islamic terrorist groups, just so we're clear anyway. However,

1951
01:46:55.840 --> 01:47:00.560
<v Speaker 2>according to the intelligence officials, fewer expeak expatriates were joining

1952
01:47:00.720 --> 01:47:04.319
<v Speaker 2>the group's ranks in by late twenty thirteen. Most of

1953
01:47:04.359 --> 01:47:09.119
<v Speaker 2>the returnees have insisted repatriated for investment opportunities and to

1954
01:47:09.159 --> 01:47:13.079
<v Speaker 2>take part in the ongoing post conflict reconstruction process in Somalia,

1955
01:47:13.119 --> 01:47:16.920
<v Speaker 2>participating in the renovation of schools, hospitals, roads, and other infrastructure.

1956
01:47:17.159 --> 01:47:20.199
<v Speaker 2>They have played a leading role in the capital's recovery

1957
01:47:20.239 --> 01:47:23.880
<v Speaker 2>and have also helped propel the local real estate market. Okay,

1958
01:47:23.880 --> 01:47:28.359
<v Speaker 2>fair enough in demographics here. In early twenty sixteen, the

1959
01:47:28.399 --> 01:47:36.199
<v Speaker 2>Minnesota Dema Demographers Demographers Demographers Office gave an estimate that

1960
01:47:36.199 --> 01:47:40.079
<v Speaker 2>they were between forty thousand and fifty two thousand Somalians

1961
01:47:40.119 --> 01:47:44.000
<v Speaker 2>in Minnesota although some of the some from the Somali

1962
01:47:44.039 --> 01:47:47.239
<v Speaker 2>community put the number as high as eighty thousand. These

1963
01:47:47.319 --> 01:47:50.840
<v Speaker 2>estimates include people born in Somalia and of Somali descent.

1964
01:47:51.279 --> 01:47:55.119
<v Speaker 2>Somali's and Minnesota reside throughout the Twin City Metropolitanariu and

1965
01:47:55.159 --> 01:48:00.479
<v Speaker 2>the surrounding towns. Many Somali's inhabit Minneapolis's Cedar Riverside neighborhood,

1966
01:48:00.560 --> 01:48:05.279
<v Speaker 2>particularly newly arrived immigrants. Somali professionals often moved to the

1967
01:48:05.319 --> 01:48:07.880
<v Speaker 2>suburbs to raise their children in a more secure environment

1968
01:48:07.920 --> 01:48:11.680
<v Speaker 2>away from the inner city. Although Somalis have established ethnic enclaves,

1969
01:48:12.079 --> 01:48:14.800
<v Speaker 2>there is an easy commute between Somali areas and the

1970
01:48:14.800 --> 01:48:19.239
<v Speaker 2>wider metropolitan metropolis. All right, cool, cool, cool, So just

1971
01:48:19.279 --> 01:48:21.560
<v Speaker 2>a little background to some of the demographics that are

1972
01:48:21.560 --> 01:48:24.479
<v Speaker 2>concerned with this. Now, with all this being said here,

1973
01:48:24.760 --> 01:48:28.079
<v Speaker 2>I got this pulled up from the Sahan Journal. Somali

1974
01:48:28.119 --> 01:48:31.840
<v Speaker 2>Prime Minister to address the fight against al Shabab during

1975
01:48:31.880 --> 01:48:35.600
<v Speaker 2>Minnesota visit Sunday. This is actually from twenty twenty three.

1976
01:48:36.279 --> 01:48:41.560
<v Speaker 2>So the Somali president, okay, Prime minister, excuse me, Haza

1977
01:48:41.920 --> 01:48:47.520
<v Speaker 2>Hamza abd Bar. Yeah, he appeared at an event in

1978
01:48:47.560 --> 01:48:51.920
<v Speaker 2>Bloomington and he was coming to specifically talk about how

1979
01:48:52.319 --> 01:48:54.720
<v Speaker 2>his people do not need to be helping al Shabab

1980
01:48:54.880 --> 01:48:59.119
<v Speaker 2>and we need to fight against them, even though it

1981
01:48:59.159 --> 01:49:03.399
<v Speaker 2>has been proven that billions have been sent to al Shabab,

1982
01:49:03.720 --> 01:49:05.439
<v Speaker 2>and I have a hard time believing that the Prime

1983
01:49:05.520 --> 01:49:09.920
<v Speaker 2>Minister doesn't isn't getting a cut. I'm just gonna go

1984
01:49:09.920 --> 01:49:12.600
<v Speaker 2>ahead and throw that out there, especially when Somalia is

1985
01:49:12.680 --> 01:49:16.800
<v Speaker 2>one of the most governmental corrupt countries on Earth. I

1986
01:49:16.920 --> 01:49:19.880
<v Speaker 2>just I can't see it. But let's continue here. Somali

1987
01:49:19.920 --> 01:49:23.159
<v Speaker 2>Prime Minister Hamza abd Bar arrived in New York City

1988
01:49:23.199 --> 01:49:25.840
<v Speaker 2>on Monday a company by a significant delegation and will

1989
01:49:25.840 --> 01:49:29.720
<v Speaker 2>make stop make a stop in Minnesota Sunday. Hamsa is

1990
01:49:29.720 --> 01:49:32.840
<v Speaker 2>participating in the United Nations General Assembly in New York.

1991
01:49:32.880 --> 01:49:35.399
<v Speaker 2>According to a statement released by his office, he is

1992
01:49:35.439 --> 01:49:38.600
<v Speaker 2>expected to deliver speech to the UN on Saturday, highlighting

1993
01:49:38.600 --> 01:49:44.439
<v Speaker 2>Somalia's achievements whatever that is focused on poverty reduction, healthcare, education,

1994
01:49:44.600 --> 01:49:49.399
<v Speaker 2>economic growth, human rights, peace and security, justice, establishing robust

1995
01:49:49.399 --> 01:49:55.520
<v Speaker 2>governmental institutions, and climate change. Big dog, Big dog. With

1996
01:49:55.680 --> 01:49:58.760
<v Speaker 2>all of the shit that Somalia has going on, perhaps

1997
01:49:58.800 --> 01:50:01.319
<v Speaker 2>climate change should be a thing that you speak on

1998
01:50:01.399 --> 01:50:05.079
<v Speaker 2>right now, ya y'all's play it's pretty full without throwing

1999
01:50:05.119 --> 01:50:06.960
<v Speaker 2>on some al gore sprinkles.

2000
01:50:07.600 --> 01:50:12.039
<v Speaker 1>They are actually like as of recording, there's an article

2001
01:50:12.079 --> 01:50:14.960
<v Speaker 1>that just came out talking about the smalling risk of

2002
01:50:15.000 --> 01:50:19.600
<v Speaker 1>being a Jihada state, and they're saying that the Mogadesh,

2003
01:50:19.720 --> 01:50:24.199
<v Speaker 1>mogadish Mogadishu, Yeah, Mogdishu is pretty much like a hair

2004
01:50:24.279 --> 01:50:27.880
<v Speaker 1>breadth away from being taken over by al Shabab, largely

2005
01:50:27.960 --> 01:50:31.079
<v Speaker 1>due to the breakdown of the political corruption in their

2006
01:50:31.119 --> 01:50:35.479
<v Speaker 1>federal and state authorities, and pretty much that there might

2007
01:50:35.520 --> 01:50:37.279
<v Speaker 1>be a way for them to save it, but they

2008
01:50:37.319 --> 01:50:40.479
<v Speaker 1>would have to get the African Using Union for peacekeeping

2009
01:50:40.520 --> 01:50:45.359
<v Speaker 1>forces to help reinforce all of this. But they're pretty

2010
01:50:45.399 --> 01:50:49.720
<v Speaker 1>much screwed right now, and that they're taking over everything,

2011
01:50:49.920 --> 01:50:52.840
<v Speaker 1>and that the it's resembling the Taliban more and more.

2012
01:50:53.359 --> 01:50:57.159
<v Speaker 2>Okay, So keep that one in mind because it literally

2013
01:50:57.199 --> 01:51:00.319
<v Speaker 2>in this same sentence, the Prime Minister will infant size

2014
01:51:00.359 --> 01:51:03.680
<v Speaker 2>the progress made in Somalia's recovery efforts and will also

2015
01:51:03.800 --> 01:51:08.720
<v Speaker 2>seek to support seek support for its country's reconstruction, underscoring

2016
01:51:08.760 --> 01:51:12.279
<v Speaker 2>the Somali National Army's ability to resume responsibility for the

2017
01:51:12.359 --> 01:51:15.479
<v Speaker 2>nation's security. He will also ask the UN to lift

2018
01:51:15.520 --> 01:51:20.479
<v Speaker 2>its long standing arms embargo on Somalia. This comes as

2019
01:51:20.479 --> 01:51:24.439
<v Speaker 2>Somali's fight against al Shabab, a terrorist organization that controls

2020
01:51:24.520 --> 01:51:28.079
<v Speaker 2>most of southern Somalia and that has links to al Qaeda,

2021
01:51:28.199 --> 01:51:33.720
<v Speaker 2>has intensified as the African Transition Mission in Somalia or

2022
01:51:33.760 --> 01:51:36.960
<v Speaker 2>at MISS forces are leaving the country.

2023
01:51:38.079 --> 01:51:42.520
<v Speaker 1>Yes, so it says that most embassies have been closed down, Yeah,

2024
01:51:42.560 --> 01:51:46.239
<v Speaker 1>and that they're taking over the locations they have won

2025
01:51:46.560 --> 01:51:52.039
<v Speaker 1>against the Islamic States in the Islamic State in Somalia.

2026
01:51:52.199 --> 01:51:56.960
<v Speaker 1>They have actually like beaten them quote unquote back in

2027
01:51:57.199 --> 01:52:01.039
<v Speaker 1>one specific area. It's down to like rough six hundred

2028
01:52:01.119 --> 01:52:04.159
<v Speaker 1>to maybe sixteen hundred people left in that in that

2029
01:52:04.199 --> 01:52:10.479
<v Speaker 1>specific terrorist group. There's like multiple Islamic States across different countries,

2030
01:52:10.520 --> 01:52:13.239
<v Speaker 1>but the one specifically in Somalia, they've they've beaten back

2031
01:52:13.279 --> 01:52:17.079
<v Speaker 1>with joint forces with the United States and the United

2032
01:52:17.119 --> 01:52:22.279
<v Speaker 1>Arab Emirates. But they are losing ground every second of

2033
01:52:22.359 --> 01:52:26.439
<v Speaker 1>every day pretty much to al Shabab, and they have

2034
01:52:26.520 --> 01:52:30.920
<v Speaker 1>advancing let's see, they have encircled the entire capital. Yeah,

2035
01:52:31.039 --> 01:52:36.039
<v Speaker 1>they're advancing fifty kilometers pretty much every couple days, They've

2036
01:52:36.079 --> 01:52:39.439
<v Speaker 1>taken over all the checkpoints, they've closed all the embassies,

2037
01:52:39.439 --> 01:52:43.680
<v Speaker 1>they've withdrawn all the non essential staff, and are fleeing

2038
01:52:43.279 --> 01:52:47.640
<v Speaker 1>to Kenya right now. Al Schabad's strength has always been

2039
01:52:47.680 --> 01:52:51.000
<v Speaker 1>a reflection of the Somalians government's weakness. It's taught like

2040
01:52:51.039 --> 01:52:53.279
<v Speaker 1>it goes on and on about how they pretty much

2041
01:52:53.359 --> 01:52:53.960
<v Speaker 1>are screwed.

2042
01:52:54.600 --> 01:52:56.199
<v Speaker 2>And see, I think that that also has a lot

2043
01:52:56.239 --> 01:52:58.560
<v Speaker 2>to do with the new president they are prime minister

2044
01:52:58.640 --> 01:53:01.159
<v Speaker 2>that they have. So your boy Homs I feel like

2045
01:53:01.239 --> 01:53:05.279
<v Speaker 2>he genuinely wanted to enact change. Maybe I'm wrong, maybe

2046
01:53:05.319 --> 01:53:07.720
<v Speaker 2>he was absolutely as shitty as all the rest. But

2047
01:53:08.760 --> 01:53:10.680
<v Speaker 2>when the article that I'm reading here was from twenty

2048
01:53:10.720 --> 01:53:13.840
<v Speaker 2>twenty three, it says that the government strategy since President

2049
01:53:13.880 --> 01:53:17.359
<v Speaker 2>Hassan Sheikh Muhammad's re election last year is to weaken

2050
01:53:17.399 --> 01:53:22.720
<v Speaker 2>Al Shabab's military capabilities, financial resources, and ideological perspectives. President

2051
01:53:23.079 --> 01:53:26.199
<v Speaker 2>Hassan Sheikh Muhammad leading from the front lines of spearheading

2052
01:53:26.239 --> 01:53:31.000
<v Speaker 2>the liberation of terrorists or liberation of territories occupied by

2053
01:53:31.000 --> 01:53:36.000
<v Speaker 2>Al Shabab. So clearly that hasn't happened. Clearly that did

2054
01:53:36.000 --> 01:53:41.319
<v Speaker 2>not take place. So your boy Sheikh Muhammad is obviously

2055
01:53:42.319 --> 01:53:48.600
<v Speaker 2>not really going after al Shabab that hard clearly not anyway.

2056
01:53:48.760 --> 01:53:51.439
<v Speaker 2>If all these resources are going that direction and they

2057
01:53:51.439 --> 01:53:53.840
<v Speaker 2>are gaining that much ground, they've circled the city to

2058
01:53:53.880 --> 01:53:56.079
<v Speaker 2>the level that they have, then you couple that with

2059
01:53:56.119 --> 01:53:59.439
<v Speaker 2>the fact of how much money has been embezzled in

2060
01:53:59.560 --> 01:54:04.079
<v Speaker 2>fraudule sent to them from the Feeding Our Future organization

2061
01:54:04.800 --> 01:54:09.119
<v Speaker 2>and COVID nineteen relief funds and autism therapy funds and

2062
01:54:09.159 --> 01:54:12.359
<v Speaker 2>all of these things that's just going to fund al Shabab.

2063
01:54:13.239 --> 01:54:15.000
<v Speaker 2>I have a hard time believing that they're need The

2064
01:54:15.039 --> 01:54:16.479
<v Speaker 2>Prime Minister's not getting a cut.

2065
01:54:17.199 --> 01:54:21.800
<v Speaker 1>They currently control roughly thirty percent of all small and territory,

2066
01:54:22.600 --> 01:54:26.680
<v Speaker 1>and they're gaining more and more each day. In twenty

2067
01:54:26.720 --> 01:54:29.680
<v Speaker 1>twenty three, is short lived government offensives supported by the

2068
01:54:29.800 --> 01:54:34.560
<v Speaker 1>US support US Special Forces succeeded in wrestling large swaths

2069
01:54:34.640 --> 01:54:39.039
<v Speaker 1>of central Somalia away from the militants, but progress tapered

2070
01:54:39.239 --> 01:54:42.119
<v Speaker 1>only after a few months, and al Shabab has since

2071
01:54:42.159 --> 01:54:45.960
<v Speaker 1>recovered almost all that lost ground plus some. The group

2072
01:54:46.039 --> 01:54:51.239
<v Speaker 1>is currently building up forces around Mogadesh mog Mogudishu and

2073
01:54:51.319 --> 01:54:54.319
<v Speaker 1>has stepped up attacks inside the city. In October twenty

2074
01:54:54.319 --> 01:54:59.199
<v Speaker 1>twenty five, Al Shabab's suicide squad stormed that capital and

2075
01:54:59.279 --> 01:55:04.560
<v Speaker 1>branch of the the National Intelligence Service in Issa, destroying

2076
01:55:04.640 --> 01:55:08.800
<v Speaker 1>valuable intelligence and releasing dozens of prisoners, just as thrown

2077
01:55:09.319 --> 01:55:13.840
<v Speaker 1>stones thrown from the Presidential Paza. Al shabab strength, however,

2078
01:55:14.279 --> 01:55:17.439
<v Speaker 1>has always been a reflection of the Somalians government's weakness.

2079
01:55:17.479 --> 01:55:20.479
<v Speaker 1>Despite more than two decades of investment billions of dollars

2080
01:55:20.520 --> 01:55:24.479
<v Speaker 1>in training and equipment, the Smalian National Army is still

2081
01:55:24.479 --> 01:55:29.039
<v Speaker 1>incapable of sustained clearing and holding of holding operations. In

2082
01:55:30.000 --> 01:55:34.960
<v Speaker 1>an address before Parliament in November twenty twenty five, Chief

2083
01:55:35.000 --> 01:55:38.199
<v Speaker 1>of the Devent's Forces General not even to try to

2084
01:55:38.279 --> 01:55:40.199
<v Speaker 1>say it, y'all, the last name is Rage.

2085
01:55:40.279 --> 01:55:42.000
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I guess rage.

2086
01:55:42.640 --> 01:55:45.479
<v Speaker 1>It's our age and we're calling him rage O, my

2087
01:55:45.600 --> 01:55:47.640
<v Speaker 1>bad general. It is what it is.

2088
01:55:47.840 --> 01:55:49.840
<v Speaker 2>He's probably just like the cousin of the Prime Minister

2089
01:55:49.920 --> 01:55:50.680
<v Speaker 2>to becoming general.

2090
01:55:50.720 --> 01:55:54.760
<v Speaker 1>But continue disclose that between ten thousand and fifteen thousand

2091
01:55:54.840 --> 01:55:57.760
<v Speaker 1>troops had been killed or wounded in action over the

2092
01:55:57.800 --> 01:56:02.079
<v Speaker 1>last three years. The forces suffered. The forces suffers from

2093
01:56:02.159 --> 01:56:07.760
<v Speaker 1>a host of troubles, including poor leadership, corruption, corruption, uneven

2094
01:56:07.840 --> 01:56:11.520
<v Speaker 1>training standards, and a reliance on clans deemed loyal to

2095
01:56:11.600 --> 01:56:15.039
<v Speaker 1>be to the sitting president rather than being a force

2096
01:56:15.079 --> 01:56:18.520
<v Speaker 1>having a genuine national character. This is left the federal

2097
01:56:18.520 --> 01:56:22.600
<v Speaker 1>government of Somalia heavily reliant on the African Union Support

2098
01:56:22.960 --> 01:56:27.880
<v Speaker 1>and the Stabilization Mission in Somalia for security. Meanwhile, mogadesh

2099
01:56:27.960 --> 01:56:33.000
<v Speaker 1>U's politic political interference, sorry my eyes are like killing me.

2100
01:56:33.079 --> 01:56:38.079
<v Speaker 1>Interference and missions have left the African Union Support and

2101
01:56:38.119 --> 01:56:43.640
<v Speaker 1>Stabilization Mission in Somalia under strength, under strength without so

2102
01:56:43.680 --> 01:56:47.159
<v Speaker 1>pretty much it's saying that sorry, it's hemorrhaging the donor support.

2103
01:56:47.279 --> 01:56:51.439
<v Speaker 1>It's threatening the reduction of termination. The map that it

2104
01:56:51.560 --> 01:56:57.720
<v Speaker 1>shows is pretty much they have like no real standing. Honestly,

2105
01:56:57.880 --> 01:57:01.760
<v Speaker 1>it's surrounded the yellow part there. You guys can't see

2106
01:57:01.760 --> 01:57:04.399
<v Speaker 1>it because I can't share it, but it's contest. It

2107
01:57:04.399 --> 01:57:08.159
<v Speaker 1>pretty much the territories are completely covered in al Shabab,

2108
01:57:08.319 --> 01:57:12.039
<v Speaker 1>and if they aren't, they're being fought over. And there's

2109
01:57:12.159 --> 01:57:15.960
<v Speaker 1>only like one tiny there's a tiny pocket up north

2110
01:57:16.159 --> 01:57:19.800
<v Speaker 1>that is the Islamic State in Somalia, and then there's

2111
01:57:19.960 --> 01:57:23.159
<v Speaker 1>one little port that is being held by the government.

2112
01:57:23.359 --> 01:57:26.119
<v Speaker 1>Other than that, the majority of it is being fought

2113
01:57:26.159 --> 01:57:28.840
<v Speaker 1>over or controlled by al Shabab as of right now.

2114
01:57:28.920 --> 01:57:30.560
<v Speaker 1>This came out just a few days ago.

2115
01:57:30.640 --> 01:57:32.840
<v Speaker 2>And that checks out as well as far as when

2116
01:57:33.279 --> 01:57:35.800
<v Speaker 2>twenty twenty three, when American forces came in and took

2117
01:57:35.840 --> 01:57:39.479
<v Speaker 2>back massive chunks of land. This is extremely remnant of

2118
01:57:39.520 --> 01:57:42.359
<v Speaker 2>what happened in nineteen ninety or was it ninety one?

2119
01:57:42.479 --> 01:57:45.479
<v Speaker 2>Maybe I forget again anybody who hasn't seen the movie

2120
01:57:45.479 --> 01:57:48.800
<v Speaker 2>Black Hawk Down. First of all, homework assignment you must see.

2121
01:57:48.920 --> 01:57:51.880
<v Speaker 2>But secondly, the very opening scene of that movie, the

2122
01:57:51.880 --> 01:57:55.079
<v Speaker 2>first three minutes, they talk about how warlords took over

2123
01:57:55.119 --> 01:57:58.000
<v Speaker 2>the country. UN peacekeepers came in. They were kind of

2124
01:57:58.039 --> 01:57:59.920
<v Speaker 2>doing some things, not really making a lot of ground.

2125
01:58:00.199 --> 01:58:03.039
<v Speaker 2>The United States Marine Corps landed, and within two weeks

2126
01:58:03.199 --> 01:58:07.439
<v Speaker 2>peace had resumed throughout the entire nation. Then, when the

2127
01:58:07.479 --> 01:58:10.680
<v Speaker 2>Marines pulled back and UN forces took the ball and

2128
01:58:10.720 --> 01:58:13.479
<v Speaker 2>tried running with it, the terrorist groups and the warlords

2129
01:58:13.640 --> 01:58:17.000
<v Speaker 2>took the land back. Because that's how that goes enter

2130
01:58:17.119 --> 01:58:19.920
<v Speaker 2>in the Ranger battalion that was in Black Hawk Down

2131
01:58:20.319 --> 01:58:23.960
<v Speaker 2>and that whole situation. And then I actually watched a

2132
01:58:24.039 --> 01:58:27.880
<v Speaker 2>documentary where these two dudes went to, oh shit, what

2133
01:58:28.039 --> 01:58:28.560
<v Speaker 2>was it called?

2134
01:58:29.000 --> 01:58:29.119
<v Speaker 5>Uh?

2135
01:58:30.000 --> 01:58:34.000
<v Speaker 2>The Akhur bazaar in Mogadishu where that scene had taken place.

2136
01:58:34.279 --> 01:58:36.279
<v Speaker 2>Two of the dudes that were there with black Hawk

2137
01:58:36.359 --> 01:58:38.479
<v Speaker 2>down they like went back there after the fact and

2138
01:58:38.479 --> 01:58:42.119
<v Speaker 2>they realized, like, yo, we like they still see the bullets,

2139
01:58:42.279 --> 01:58:45.840
<v Speaker 2>like the straping rounds from them on certain buildings, and

2140
01:58:45.880 --> 01:58:48.439
<v Speaker 2>they're like, you realize we're at that bazar right now.

2141
01:58:48.479 --> 01:58:51.479
<v Speaker 2>He's like yeah, or Alec Barr is that it? I forget,

2142
01:58:51.520 --> 01:58:53.920
<v Speaker 2>but he's like, yeah, I'm acutely aware of that. We

2143
01:58:54.039 --> 01:58:55.960
<v Speaker 2>need to get out of here because if they see

2144
01:58:56.079 --> 01:58:58.760
<v Speaker 2>that two white dudes are in these nice ass you know,

2145
01:58:59.399 --> 01:59:01.920
<v Speaker 2>range rover in this city, it's not going to go

2146
01:59:01.920 --> 01:59:03.960
<v Speaker 2>good right now. And that was years ago when there

2147
01:59:04.000 --> 01:59:09.760
<v Speaker 2>was quote unquote peace in Somalia. So again US forces

2148
01:59:09.800 --> 01:59:12.399
<v Speaker 2>came in, took back massive amounts of land and then

2149
01:59:12.399 --> 01:59:15.880
<v Speaker 2>handed to the government, who with all the corruption that's happening,

2150
01:59:16.119 --> 01:59:19.199
<v Speaker 2>lost it all. And now the country is and basically

2151
01:59:19.359 --> 01:59:21.199
<v Speaker 2>I wouldn't even call a civil war, it's in a

2152
01:59:21.239 --> 01:59:23.079
<v Speaker 2>hostile takeover an insurrection.

2153
01:59:23.880 --> 01:59:28.800
<v Speaker 1>Well, they so there's two groups that were there. I

2154
01:59:28.840 --> 01:59:30.720
<v Speaker 1>don't I'm trying to find more of the information of

2155
01:59:30.760 --> 01:59:33.279
<v Speaker 1>the other groups, but pretty much it comes down there

2156
01:59:33.399 --> 01:59:35.760
<v Speaker 1>was so there's three people that are fighting right now

2157
01:59:35.800 --> 01:59:38.560
<v Speaker 1>in the country. There's a government that's trying to hold

2158
01:59:38.960 --> 01:59:40.920
<v Speaker 1>whatever semblance of military that they.

2159
01:59:40.800 --> 01:59:42.039
<v Speaker 2>Have left good luck.

2160
01:59:42.119 --> 01:59:46.720
<v Speaker 1>Then there's the Islamic State, and then there is Al Shabab,

2161
01:59:47.039 --> 01:59:53.680
<v Speaker 1>which is three separate groups. The Islamic State actually used

2162
01:59:53.720 --> 01:59:56.720
<v Speaker 1>to be holding a lot more territory, but now because

2163
01:59:56.760 --> 01:59:59.640
<v Speaker 1>of twenty twenty five, they lost a shit ton of

2164
01:59:59.640 --> 02:00:02.199
<v Speaker 1>people in it. They never really had a large group

2165
02:00:02.359 --> 02:00:05.199
<v Speaker 1>actually to begin with, which is surprising because of how

2166
02:00:05.279 --> 02:00:08.760
<v Speaker 1>much they were able to accomplish with a small amount

2167
02:00:08.800 --> 02:00:10.800
<v Speaker 1>of people compared to Al Shabab.

2168
02:00:10.960 --> 02:00:13.159
<v Speaker 2>I think that was because of a power back vacuum,

2169
02:00:13.239 --> 02:00:16.800
<v Speaker 2>and at that moment ISIS was way more well funded

2170
02:00:16.840 --> 02:00:20.359
<v Speaker 2>than al Qaeda, and just we're all clear. Al Shabab

2171
02:00:20.479 --> 02:00:24.720
<v Speaker 2>is an al Qaeda affiliate. The Islamic State in is

2172
02:00:24.720 --> 02:00:27.359
<v Speaker 2>isis it's Isis, right exactly aka.

2173
02:00:27.239 --> 02:00:30.880
<v Speaker 1>Isis, but there is different So each country has their

2174
02:00:30.960 --> 02:00:34.560
<v Speaker 1>own Islamic states. So this is the Islamic State of

2175
02:00:35.199 --> 02:00:38.720
<v Speaker 1>Samal yet, right, so they are like they're like cousins

2176
02:00:38.760 --> 02:00:40.319
<v Speaker 1>to each other pretty much.

2177
02:00:41.560 --> 02:00:44.159
<v Speaker 2>I feel like that's that's accurate, but it's also there's

2178
02:00:44.239 --> 02:00:46.520
<v Speaker 2>levels to that. This is like saying that the Sunni

2179
02:00:46.640 --> 02:00:50.399
<v Speaker 2>and the Shia Muslims are cousins to each other. Yes,

2180
02:00:50.680 --> 02:00:52.800
<v Speaker 2>but they also really fucking hate each other.

2181
02:00:53.640 --> 02:00:55.880
<v Speaker 1>Well, so I was looking kind of more into that.

2182
02:00:56.079 --> 02:00:59.880
<v Speaker 1>And the ISIS groups they have like a hierarchy within

2183
02:01:00.079 --> 02:01:03.199
<v Speaker 1>them depending on which country that they are in and

2184
02:01:03.239 --> 02:01:05.960
<v Speaker 1>how much funding and backing and how many people they have.

2185
02:01:06.079 --> 02:01:08.159
<v Speaker 1>They have a whole hierarchy system.

2186
02:01:08.319 --> 02:01:11.119
<v Speaker 2>But that's because the Islamic State wants to enact a

2187
02:01:11.399 --> 02:01:15.800
<v Speaker 2>global caliphate, right, led by a caliph for an emperor,

2188
02:01:15.840 --> 02:01:18.720
<v Speaker 2>if you will, So like that's their overarching goal. Al

2189
02:01:18.800 --> 02:01:21.920
<v Speaker 2>Qaeda is not. They are not trying to start a caliphate.

2190
02:01:22.239 --> 02:01:23.720
<v Speaker 2>They're just trying to do terrors. Shit.

2191
02:01:24.760 --> 02:01:27.840
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, so the caliph, so Islamic state actually means a

2192
02:01:27.880 --> 02:01:32.560
<v Speaker 1>million militant organization that aims to establish a calif caliphate

2193
02:01:33.319 --> 02:01:38.039
<v Speaker 1>governed wow words are really difficulty now, but governed by

2194
02:01:38.239 --> 02:01:42.800
<v Speaker 1>the interpretation of Islamic law. It originated in the insurgency

2195
02:01:42.920 --> 02:01:46.920
<v Speaker 1>in Iraq. It's claiming religious and political authority over all

2196
02:01:46.960 --> 02:01:50.640
<v Speaker 1>of Muslims, like all Muslims, right, and most Muslims actually

2197
02:01:50.720 --> 02:01:54.239
<v Speaker 1>don't agree with this. So that's what Islamic state means.

2198
02:01:54.359 --> 02:01:55.279
<v Speaker 1>In and of itself.

2199
02:01:55.439 --> 02:01:57.600
<v Speaker 2>So just so we're clear as far as the caliphate

2200
02:01:57.720 --> 02:01:59.600
<v Speaker 2>is concerned, I know that's a word that we've probably

2201
02:01:59.640 --> 02:02:02.119
<v Speaker 2>heard of time, so I'm gonna break it down for everybody.

2202
02:02:02.199 --> 02:02:04.760
<v Speaker 2>A caliphate is a form of Islamic government led by

2203
02:02:04.800 --> 02:02:08.119
<v Speaker 2>a caliph right who is considered the political and religious

2204
02:02:08.119 --> 02:02:11.680
<v Speaker 2>successor to the prophet Muhammad himself and the leader of

2205
02:02:11.720 --> 02:02:15.760
<v Speaker 2>the entire Muslim community. The position carries both temporal and

2206
02:02:15.840 --> 02:02:19.399
<v Speaker 2>spiritual authority, although its religious function was later taken over

2207
02:02:19.479 --> 02:02:23.359
<v Speaker 2>by Islamic scholars known as the Ulama. Just so we're

2208
02:02:23.359 --> 02:02:27.199
<v Speaker 2>clear here the history of a caliphate being established. The

2209
02:02:27.199 --> 02:02:30.640
<v Speaker 2>first one was the Rashidun Caliphate in six point thirty

2210
02:02:30.640 --> 02:02:34.319
<v Speaker 2>two to six sixty one a d Okay, the quote

2211
02:02:34.399 --> 02:02:38.119
<v Speaker 2>unquote rightly guided Caliphate was led by the first four

2212
02:02:38.159 --> 02:02:44.000
<v Speaker 2>successors of Mohammad, Abu Baker, Umar Uthman and Ali Okay.

2213
02:02:44.000 --> 02:02:46.760
<v Speaker 2>This aerosol rapid expansion of the Islamic state beyond the

2214
02:02:46.800 --> 02:02:51.840
<v Speaker 2>Arabian peninsula throughout the conquest excuse me. Then there was

2215
02:02:51.880 --> 02:02:55.800
<v Speaker 2>the Umayad Caliphate, which was from six sixty one to

2216
02:02:55.880 --> 02:02:59.960
<v Speaker 2>seven point fifty a d. Then was the Abbasid Caliphate,

2217
02:03:00.279 --> 02:03:03.840
<v Speaker 2>from seven fifty to twelve fifty eight AD. This is

2218
02:03:03.880 --> 02:03:07.359
<v Speaker 2>the one whenever you hear about like the crusades that

2219
02:03:07.399 --> 02:03:11.880
<v Speaker 2>were taking place. They were fighting against the Abbasid Kliphate. Okay,

2220
02:03:12.000 --> 02:03:14.800
<v Speaker 2>then was the Ottoman Caliphate. We've heard of the Ottoman

2221
02:03:14.840 --> 02:03:18.479
<v Speaker 2>Empire before. That was a caliphate and that lasted until

2222
02:03:18.520 --> 02:03:21.840
<v Speaker 2>from fifteen seventeen until nineteen twenty four.

2223
02:03:22.920 --> 02:03:23.359
<v Speaker 1>Wow.

2224
02:03:23.479 --> 02:03:26.600
<v Speaker 2>When World War One ended, the Ottoman Empire in the

2225
02:03:26.640 --> 02:03:31.199
<v Speaker 2>Ottoman Caliphate collapsed. So the Isis group or the Islamic

2226
02:03:31.239 --> 02:03:35.000
<v Speaker 2>State is on the move to try to reestablish a

2227
02:03:35.079 --> 02:03:38.920
<v Speaker 2>caliphate in their area, but they want that to spread worldwide,

2228
02:03:38.960 --> 02:03:42.000
<v Speaker 2>which is what they have called the global into Fada

2229
02:03:42.439 --> 02:03:45.640
<v Speaker 2>or the global Islamic takeover. That is what this means.

2230
02:03:45.640 --> 02:03:48.680
<v Speaker 1>Oh Okay, that makes a lot more sense now.

2231
02:03:48.520 --> 02:03:50.920
<v Speaker 2>Which is why you have these small pockets in random

2232
02:03:50.920 --> 02:03:53.479
<v Speaker 2>places all over the world, not just in America, not

2233
02:03:53.560 --> 02:03:56.199
<v Speaker 2>just in Minnesota, but all over the world where these

2234
02:03:56.680 --> 02:04:02.159
<v Speaker 2>Muslim quote unquote refugees. Some of them come from countries

2235
02:04:02.159 --> 02:04:05.640
<v Speaker 2>that really are bad and like they really are true refugees,

2236
02:04:05.680 --> 02:04:08.199
<v Speaker 2>they're just trying to like get to safety. Then you

2237
02:04:08.239 --> 02:04:11.760
<v Speaker 2>have others where wow, how are all of these refugees,

2238
02:04:11.960 --> 02:04:16.399
<v Speaker 2>military aged males. That's very strange. Why is there no

2239
02:04:16.479 --> 02:04:19.880
<v Speaker 2>women and children and elderly with the refugees. Wouldn't the

2240
02:04:19.920 --> 02:04:23.800
<v Speaker 2>military aged males stay and fight for their country against

2241
02:04:23.840 --> 02:04:27.399
<v Speaker 2>the terrorists. But somehow they're all military aged males and

2242
02:04:27.439 --> 02:04:31.279
<v Speaker 2>they come to these let's just call them Western societies

2243
02:04:31.760 --> 02:04:34.840
<v Speaker 2>and they're trying to make it more Muslim, and they're

2244
02:04:34.840 --> 02:04:36.640
<v Speaker 2>being very loud and proud about how this is a

2245
02:04:36.720 --> 02:04:39.880
<v Speaker 2>Muslim takeover and that's the thing that's happening.

2246
02:04:40.279 --> 02:04:43.399
<v Speaker 1>In twenty fifteen. I didn't know this until I started

2247
02:04:43.399 --> 02:04:48.119
<v Speaker 1>looking into this. The Islamic Sea actually comes from the

2248
02:04:48.520 --> 02:04:52.720
<v Speaker 1>al Shabab group. It was they split apart and it

2249
02:04:52.760 --> 02:04:58.359
<v Speaker 1>was a big smuggling in Somalia in Smolia. Y yeah, no, no, no,

2250
02:04:58.399 --> 02:05:02.560
<v Speaker 1>in in Smolia into fifteen. So this group of people

2251
02:05:02.640 --> 02:05:05.399
<v Speaker 1>pretty much they all hubbed up in the north because

2252
02:05:05.439 --> 02:05:08.800
<v Speaker 1>there is a specific area where the piracy and all

2253
02:05:08.880 --> 02:05:12.079
<v Speaker 1>of that is and they smuggle shit ton of stuff.

2254
02:05:12.119 --> 02:05:14.439
<v Speaker 1>So they got their majority of funding from that. I

2255
02:05:14.479 --> 02:05:16.840
<v Speaker 1>think it starts with the pea hang on. It's called

2256
02:05:17.399 --> 02:05:18.039
<v Speaker 1>punt Land.

2257
02:05:18.319 --> 02:05:22.119
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, Puntland, which is a very historic land. Actually in

2258
02:05:22.199 --> 02:05:26.199
<v Speaker 2>Egyptian literature, the only other. The first other nation that's

2259
02:05:26.199 --> 02:05:29.079
<v Speaker 2>ever mentioned is the nation of punt So.

2260
02:05:29.800 --> 02:05:31.840
<v Speaker 1>I actually didn't know that either. Yeah, like me, learn

2261
02:05:32.079 --> 02:05:34.319
<v Speaker 1>learning all sorts of new things got you. So they

2262
02:05:34.560 --> 02:05:37.479
<v Speaker 1>decided to split apart. They had they had some big

2263
02:05:37.520 --> 02:05:42.640
<v Speaker 1>old fields and the what now is the leader of

2264
02:05:42.680 --> 02:05:47.319
<v Speaker 1>the Islamac State of Somalia is from twenty fifteen, it's

2265
02:05:47.439 --> 02:05:51.199
<v Speaker 1>still the same dude. It's Moonin. I don't know how

2266
02:05:51.239 --> 02:05:54.079
<v Speaker 1>to say his name. It starts it's you U M

2267
02:05:54.119 --> 02:05:59.079
<v Speaker 1>I N. It's the same Roman Suman. So he actually

2268
02:05:59.119 --> 02:06:02.800
<v Speaker 1>didn't even become the leader of this until twenty twenty

2269
02:06:02.840 --> 02:06:06.560
<v Speaker 1>three was he finally was recognized because I don't think

2270
02:06:06.600 --> 02:06:09.680
<v Speaker 1>he's actually of the bloodline, but they like kind of

2271
02:06:09.680 --> 02:06:12.960
<v Speaker 1>made exceptions for old boy, so they decided to like

2272
02:06:13.079 --> 02:06:16.840
<v Speaker 1>let him, let him be. They actually in twenty twenty

2273
02:06:16.840 --> 02:06:21.720
<v Speaker 1>two they got one point three million dollars in extortion imports, livestocking,

2274
02:06:21.760 --> 02:06:25.840
<v Speaker 1>agriculture just for their little When I say little compared

2275
02:06:25.880 --> 02:06:28.159
<v Speaker 1>to the map, if you actually look up the map,

2276
02:06:28.439 --> 02:06:31.279
<v Speaker 1>you're talking like a tiny little cube on the whole

2277
02:06:31.359 --> 02:06:34.840
<v Speaker 1>map that they actually were able to accomplish with only

2278
02:06:34.920 --> 02:06:38.840
<v Speaker 1>less than sixteen hundred guys. So they've been thriving for

2279
02:06:38.880 --> 02:06:42.800
<v Speaker 1>a good bit. Mainly they were doing extortion and piracy

2280
02:06:42.880 --> 02:06:46.079
<v Speaker 1>and stuff. So that's where they kind of screwed up

2281
02:06:46.079 --> 02:06:48.199
<v Speaker 1>those is because when they decided that they were going

2282
02:06:48.279 --> 02:06:53.239
<v Speaker 1>to try and take over more Land, they got pretty

2283
02:06:53.239 --> 02:06:56.119
<v Speaker 1>fucked up by the government with the help of the US,

2284
02:06:56.279 --> 02:06:58.399
<v Speaker 1>So they did a whole bunch of attacks. They killed

2285
02:06:58.439 --> 02:07:02.239
<v Speaker 1>seventy fighters from January February of twenty twenty five, the

2286
02:07:02.279 --> 02:07:04.560
<v Speaker 1>main base fell, and then all of their other bases

2287
02:07:04.600 --> 02:07:07.520
<v Speaker 1>fell within the same month of March. Now they're leader

2288
02:07:07.520 --> 02:07:10.079
<v Speaker 1>in their second in command and like less than a

2289
02:07:10.079 --> 02:07:13.479
<v Speaker 1>few hundred fighters are hiding and they're pretty much going

2290
02:07:13.520 --> 02:07:15.880
<v Speaker 1>to be wiped out. They've they've decided. I don't know

2291
02:07:15.920 --> 02:07:19.479
<v Speaker 1>why they're They're like just a dime in the bucket

2292
02:07:19.520 --> 02:07:22.640
<v Speaker 1>though right now, because Al Shabab is the one that's

2293
02:07:22.680 --> 02:07:25.920
<v Speaker 1>actually taking over everything. So and their history is a

2294
02:07:25.960 --> 02:07:27.640
<v Speaker 1>lot different than this history.

2295
02:07:27.760 --> 02:07:29.800
<v Speaker 2>So wait real quick as far as the Islamic State goes,

2296
02:07:29.840 --> 02:07:32.479
<v Speaker 2>before we get on to Al Shabab, we should also

2297
02:07:32.640 --> 02:07:36.520
<v Speaker 2>not step over the fact that the only reason why

2298
02:07:36.640 --> 02:07:39.479
<v Speaker 2>isis let's just call it the Islamic State as a

2299
02:07:39.520 --> 02:07:44.000
<v Speaker 2>whole even exists right now is because of Barack Obama.

2300
02:07:44.079 --> 02:07:47.039
<v Speaker 2>So just so anybody is clear, in twenty fourteen, Obama

2301
02:07:47.239 --> 02:07:53.000
<v Speaker 2>funded ISLE, who later became ISIS, who took over whenever

2302
02:07:53.000 --> 02:07:56.399
<v Speaker 2>we pulled out of Iraq and then later other parts

2303
02:07:56.439 --> 02:08:00.399
<v Speaker 2>of the Arab world. He funded them and gave them weapons,

2304
02:08:00.840 --> 02:08:02.760
<v Speaker 2>kind of enemy of my enemy is my friend kind

2305
02:08:02.760 --> 02:08:05.319
<v Speaker 2>of thing, because they weren't about al Qaeda, you know,

2306
02:08:05.439 --> 02:08:08.880
<v Speaker 2>and they, although they might be some extremists, they wanted

2307
02:08:08.920 --> 02:08:10.720
<v Speaker 2>to put the hurting on al Qaeda and some other

2308
02:08:10.800 --> 02:08:13.359
<v Speaker 2>terrorist groups that America didn't like. So Obama threw a

2309
02:08:13.359 --> 02:08:16.159
<v Speaker 2>lot of money and resources their way. And yes, there's

2310
02:08:16.199 --> 02:08:19.359
<v Speaker 2>gonna be people saying that's debunk that's not real. Listen,

2311
02:08:19.920 --> 02:08:21.960
<v Speaker 2>talk to me after you look up Operation Fast and

2312
02:08:22.000 --> 02:08:26.399
<v Speaker 2>Furious and how American cops were killed from cartel members

2313
02:08:26.479 --> 02:08:29.960
<v Speaker 2>using American guns that Obama sent to them. Then come

2314
02:08:30.039 --> 02:08:32.640
<v Speaker 2>to me about if ISOL was not also funded and

2315
02:08:32.640 --> 02:08:35.680
<v Speaker 2>operated by Obama. But neither hero were there. So ISOL

2316
02:08:35.800 --> 02:08:39.039
<v Speaker 2>became ISIS, which is now a remnant of the Islamic

2317
02:08:39.079 --> 02:08:43.159
<v Speaker 2>state that is now happening in Somalia. It's all based

2318
02:08:43.199 --> 02:08:47.520
<v Speaker 2>back to all lies together, Barack Hussein anyway, continuing, that's kind.

2319
02:08:47.319 --> 02:08:51.960
<v Speaker 1>Of crazy, Yeah, so they they were linked to in

2320
02:08:52.000 --> 02:08:55.000
<v Speaker 1>twenty seventeen, they were linked to about fifty bombings.

2321
02:08:55.239 --> 02:08:56.439
<v Speaker 2>That's Al Shababa seventeen.

2322
02:08:57.359 --> 02:09:00.439
<v Speaker 1>No, this is the ISIS group, Okay, from seventeen to

2323
02:09:00.479 --> 02:09:04.039
<v Speaker 1>twenty eighteen, And that's kind of where they got their

2324
02:09:04.640 --> 02:09:09.239
<v Speaker 1>like popularity quote unquote or their name if anything. Yeah,

2325
02:09:09.279 --> 02:09:12.399
<v Speaker 1>the notoriety before they got got they didn't really do

2326
02:09:12.680 --> 02:09:15.439
<v Speaker 1>a bunch. They kind of stayed in the central North area.

2327
02:09:15.479 --> 02:09:17.880
<v Speaker 1>That's where they are right now. As well, they weren't

2328
02:09:17.920 --> 02:09:20.640
<v Speaker 1>able to like spread down, not like Al Schebob. Al

2329
02:09:20.640 --> 02:09:27.039
<v Speaker 1>Schiebob was like wildfire across Somalia. So they definitely didn't

2330
02:09:27.079 --> 02:09:30.000
<v Speaker 1>have the same backing or funding. So that's kind of

2331
02:09:30.039 --> 02:09:33.479
<v Speaker 1>the history shortened shortened, cut to history. I didn't want

2332
02:09:33.479 --> 02:09:35.680
<v Speaker 1>to go like in depth about it because they've pretty

2333
02:09:35.720 --> 02:09:38.560
<v Speaker 1>much killed all of them there. But yeah, so that's

2334
02:09:38.600 --> 02:09:41.199
<v Speaker 1>a part of one of the groups that is having

2335
02:09:41.279 --> 02:09:44.199
<v Speaker 1>fighting at least in one of the areas that is

2336
02:09:44.359 --> 02:09:48.680
<v Speaker 1>exported extorting money and things from their local citizens.

2337
02:09:49.039 --> 02:09:52.119
<v Speaker 2>It's also crazy that the piracy, the Somali pirates, you know,

2338
02:09:52.279 --> 02:09:54.239
<v Speaker 2>m I seen Captain Phillips, I am de keptin know

2339
02:09:54.359 --> 02:09:57.920
<v Speaker 2>that whole thing that was that portion of that is

2340
02:09:57.960 --> 02:10:01.239
<v Speaker 2>al Schebob, no doubt. Portion of that is also the

2341
02:10:01.279 --> 02:10:03.640
<v Speaker 2>Islamic State, and a portion of that is just Somali

2342
02:10:03.720 --> 02:10:07.159
<v Speaker 2>citizens because they realize that they can make more money

2343
02:10:07.520 --> 02:10:11.720
<v Speaker 2>with ransom than they could uh you know, trying to

2344
02:10:11.840 --> 02:10:16.119
<v Speaker 2>open up a shop in Mogadishu or whatever. It's it's

2345
02:10:16.159 --> 02:10:17.079
<v Speaker 2>crazy when I mean.

2346
02:10:17.000 --> 02:10:20.279
<v Speaker 1>They're they're starving in most of the places. They don't

2347
02:10:20.319 --> 02:10:24.319
<v Speaker 1>have any money, which now I don't condone things like.

2348
02:10:24.319 --> 02:10:27.119
<v Speaker 2>That, but of a good portion of the country also

2349
02:10:27.279 --> 02:10:28.159
<v Speaker 2>is more uh.

2350
02:10:29.680 --> 02:10:30.920
<v Speaker 1>It's more drugs.

2351
02:10:31.359 --> 02:10:33.520
<v Speaker 2>Well yeah, but like as far as them like trying

2352
02:10:33.560 --> 02:10:37.000
<v Speaker 2>to get their fixed too. So there's this plant that

2353
02:10:37.039 --> 02:10:41.479
<v Speaker 2>grows called cat okay quat I think is how it's spelled.

2354
02:10:41.920 --> 02:10:44.079
<v Speaker 2>It's a bush that grows and basically you chew the

2355
02:10:44.119 --> 02:10:46.359
<v Speaker 2>leaves and it gives you like a low dose heroin hit.

2356
02:10:47.199 --> 02:10:50.239
<v Speaker 2>And you could actually see it's all over Africa. As

2357
02:10:50.279 --> 02:10:52.680
<v Speaker 2>a matter of fact, Djibouti very famously one of the

2358
02:10:52.720 --> 02:10:55.800
<v Speaker 2>smallest countries on Earth, but also has like nine different

2359
02:10:56.159 --> 02:10:58.800
<v Speaker 2>bases from different countries. US has a very large base

2360
02:10:58.840 --> 02:11:01.439
<v Speaker 2>there actually, and you'll see the people that are like

2361
02:11:01.520 --> 02:11:04.199
<v Speaker 2>waiting for the trucks to get there for food. They're

2362
02:11:04.199 --> 02:11:06.239
<v Speaker 2>not worried about the food, They're worried about their next

2363
02:11:06.279 --> 02:11:09.000
<v Speaker 2>cat shipment. And again, if you've ever seen Captain Phillips,

2364
02:11:09.039 --> 02:11:10.880
<v Speaker 2>the dudes that were chewing those leaves and shit the

2365
02:11:10.920 --> 02:11:13.800
<v Speaker 2>whole time, that was what it was. The country, and

2366
02:11:13.840 --> 02:11:16.600
<v Speaker 2>I mean this happens anywhere that's really destitute. The people

2367
02:11:16.680 --> 02:11:18.800
<v Speaker 2>are trying to find any way they can to like

2368
02:11:19.000 --> 02:11:22.000
<v Speaker 2>remove themselves from the situation and try to find a

2369
02:11:22.039 --> 02:11:25.039
<v Speaker 2>little bit of peace. So a cheap drug that grows

2370
02:11:25.079 --> 02:11:27.960
<v Speaker 2>everywhere is kind of the way that it goes. And

2371
02:11:28.079 --> 02:11:31.439
<v Speaker 2>unfortunately nothing gets done to help them. And for the

2372
02:11:31.479 --> 02:11:34.239
<v Speaker 2>women and children and elderly that are truly suffering in

2373
02:11:34.279 --> 02:11:37.960
<v Speaker 2>that country, they are literally thrown to the wayside. It

2374
02:11:38.159 --> 02:11:40.560
<v Speaker 2>like they said, it's government corruption top to bottom that's

2375
02:11:40.640 --> 02:11:44.560
<v Speaker 2>led to this position. And I don't have a good

2376
02:11:44.600 --> 02:11:47.239
<v Speaker 2>feeling to anything positive is gonna happen anytime soon to

2377
02:11:47.239 --> 02:11:47.640
<v Speaker 2>fix it.

2378
02:11:48.520 --> 02:11:51.159
<v Speaker 1>So what is the history of al Shabab? And like

2379
02:11:51.279 --> 02:11:55.000
<v Speaker 1>how did they get their foothold in this country so severely?

2380
02:11:55.359 --> 02:11:58.000
<v Speaker 2>All right, so let's talk about that right quick. This

2381
02:11:58.159 --> 02:12:01.239
<v Speaker 2>is al Shabab. This is an art quote from Congress

2382
02:12:01.319 --> 02:12:05.800
<v Speaker 2>dot Gov was updated February fourteenth of twenty twenty three.

2383
02:12:06.159 --> 02:12:09.279
<v Speaker 2>So al Shabab, which God, I'm not even gonna try

2384
02:12:09.319 --> 02:12:14.800
<v Speaker 2>to pronounce that basically it was the Mujahadeen Youth movement

2385
02:12:15.359 --> 02:12:18.199
<v Speaker 2>is what it stands for. It's what it came from anyway,

2386
02:12:18.239 --> 02:12:21.119
<v Speaker 2>And for anybody who doesn't know what the mujah Hadeen is,

2387
02:12:21.560 --> 02:12:24.720
<v Speaker 2>that was the freedom fighters that were based in Afghanistan

2388
02:12:24.760 --> 02:12:28.960
<v Speaker 2>that America funded and armed to fight against the Soviets

2389
02:12:29.000 --> 02:12:32.960
<v Speaker 2>that were in Afghanistan. Where is you know tim Osmond

2390
02:12:33.119 --> 02:12:36.279
<v Speaker 2>aka Osama bin Lauden. Perhaps you've heard of him. Tim

2391
02:12:36.319 --> 02:12:39.399
<v Speaker 2>Osman was his CIA handler name. That's not a joke,

2392
02:12:39.479 --> 02:12:42.600
<v Speaker 2>that's a very verified fact at this point. He got

2393
02:12:42.640 --> 02:12:46.239
<v Speaker 2>his start with the Mujahadeen freedom fighters. So the Mujahadeen

2394
02:12:46.359 --> 02:12:49.960
<v Speaker 2>Youth Movement that is now called Al Shabab is a

2395
02:12:49.960 --> 02:12:53.479
<v Speaker 2>Somali based insurgent and terrorist group that the US Africa

2396
02:12:53.520 --> 02:12:57.720
<v Speaker 2>Command or AFRICAM in twenty twenty two labeled quote the largest,

2397
02:12:57.880 --> 02:13:02.119
<v Speaker 2>wealthiest and most lethal alcohol affiliate in the world today.

2398
02:13:04.119 --> 02:13:07.199
<v Speaker 2>Continuing here, African reports that the group poses the greatest

2399
02:13:07.279 --> 02:13:11.079
<v Speaker 2>danger to US citizens and interests in East Africa and

2400
02:13:11.159 --> 02:13:13.640
<v Speaker 2>is a threat to the United States so the background

2401
02:13:13.680 --> 02:13:16.560
<v Speaker 2>to it. Al Schebob emerged in the mid two thousands

2402
02:13:16.560 --> 02:13:20.319
<v Speaker 2>amidst a vacuum of state authority in Somalia. It evolved

2403
02:13:20.319 --> 02:13:23.520
<v Speaker 2>out of a militant wing of the Federation of Islamic

2404
02:13:23.560 --> 02:13:26.279
<v Speaker 2>Courts that took control of Mogadishu and much of southern

2405
02:13:26.319 --> 02:13:30.000
<v Speaker 2>Somalia in two thousand and six, when Ethiopia, which back

2406
02:13:30.039 --> 02:13:36.159
<v Speaker 2>Somalia's nascent transitional government, intervened militarily with US support to

2407
02:13:36.359 --> 02:13:40.760
<v Speaker 2>oust the courts. Al Schabab used historical anti Ethiopian sentiments

2408
02:13:41.279 --> 02:13:45.680
<v Speaker 2>among Somali's to draw recruits and support, including among the

2409
02:13:45.720 --> 02:13:49.199
<v Speaker 2>diaspora of the United States. Al Chebob held much of

2410
02:13:49.239 --> 02:13:52.199
<v Speaker 2>the south central Somalia, including the capital, from the late

2411
02:13:52.199 --> 02:13:56.399
<v Speaker 2>two thousands until the African Union. The AU forces gained

2412
02:13:56.399 --> 02:13:59.279
<v Speaker 2>momentum against the insurgency in twenty eleven and twenty twelve

2413
02:13:59.359 --> 02:14:03.000
<v Speaker 2>and reclaimed some territory from the group. Shabab has nevertheless

2414
02:14:03.000 --> 02:14:06.640
<v Speaker 2>retained control over parts of the country, despite international recognition

2415
02:14:06.720 --> 02:14:10.000
<v Speaker 2>of Somalia's federal government in twenty twelve and a range

2416
02:14:10.039 --> 02:14:14.359
<v Speaker 2>of multilateral efforts to degrade its capacity. The group also

2417
02:14:14.439 --> 02:14:18.039
<v Speaker 2>maintains influence and the ability to conduct tax in government

2418
02:14:18.119 --> 02:14:22.760
<v Speaker 2>held areas. So now we call them an al Qaeda affiliate.

2419
02:14:23.279 --> 02:14:25.680
<v Speaker 2>So what is the relationship here? Right? So, some of

2420
02:14:25.680 --> 02:14:29.079
<v Speaker 2>al Shabab's founding members trained with al Qaeda in Afghanistan,

2421
02:14:29.479 --> 02:14:33.680
<v Speaker 2>and senior al Qaeda operatives in East Africa, including Fazul Mohammad,

2422
02:14:34.000 --> 02:14:36.840
<v Speaker 2>the late mastermind of the US embassy bombings in Kenya

2423
02:14:36.880 --> 02:14:40.840
<v Speaker 2>and Tanzania, have been associated with the groups. After expressions

2424
02:14:41.000 --> 02:14:44.800
<v Speaker 2>of allegiance to al Qaeda in al Shabab's early years,

2425
02:14:45.000 --> 02:14:49.560
<v Speaker 2>the groups announced a formal affiliation in twenty twelve. So

2426
02:14:49.640 --> 02:14:52.880
<v Speaker 2>while Al Schabbab leaders appear to broadly share al Qaeda's

2427
02:14:52.920 --> 02:14:59.079
<v Speaker 2>transitional or transnational agenda, the group operates independently among other

2428
02:14:59.079 --> 02:15:01.840
<v Speaker 2>al Qaeda affiliates. The group maintains ties with al Qaeda

2429
02:15:01.840 --> 02:15:05.760
<v Speaker 2>in the Arabian Peninsula, with which it runs a smuggling network.

2430
02:15:06.119 --> 02:15:08.640
<v Speaker 2>In twenty fifteen, some of al Shabab's members pressed for

2431
02:15:08.720 --> 02:15:11.600
<v Speaker 2>a shift in allegiance to the Islamic State, like you

2432
02:15:11.640 --> 02:15:13.319
<v Speaker 2>had said, raven Lee, this is where they had that

2433
02:15:13.359 --> 02:15:16.840
<v Speaker 2>big split. Al Schabab leadership rejected the proposal and launched

2434
02:15:16.840 --> 02:15:21.840
<v Speaker 2>a deadly crackdown against Islamic State supporters. A small ISS

2435
02:15:21.880 --> 02:15:25.960
<v Speaker 2>faction in the northern Somalia survived to the purge, and

2436
02:15:26.000 --> 02:15:28.720
<v Speaker 2>al Shabab remains the dominant group and appears to view

2437
02:15:28.760 --> 02:15:32.760
<v Speaker 2>the ISS cell as a rival. So this is the

2438
02:15:32.800 --> 02:15:36.039
<v Speaker 2>background to it. Also the threat here. Al Shabab has

2439
02:15:36.079 --> 02:15:40.560
<v Speaker 2>waged an asymmetric campaign against Somali government AU forces and

2440
02:15:40.680 --> 02:15:44.720
<v Speaker 2>foreign targets in Somalia. Per the UN data, in twenty

2441
02:15:44.760 --> 02:15:48.119
<v Speaker 2>twenty two, it was the deadliest year since twenty seventeen,

2442
02:15:48.159 --> 02:15:51.800
<v Speaker 2>when a truck bomb in Mogadishu killed over five hundred people,

2443
02:15:53.119 --> 02:15:56.520
<v Speaker 2>a single truck bomb. That was al Shabab's deadliest single

2444
02:15:56.560 --> 02:15:57.359
<v Speaker 2>attack to date.

2445
02:15:57.840 --> 02:16:00.840
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, I wonder how big a bomb was. That must

2446
02:16:00.880 --> 02:16:02.920
<v Speaker 1>have been a big pressure pressure plate.

2447
02:16:03.199 --> 02:16:06.479
<v Speaker 2>Maybe, But even still, Mogadishu is such a highly densely

2448
02:16:06.520 --> 02:16:09.199
<v Speaker 2>populated city, especially if we're going to like one of

2449
02:16:09.239 --> 02:16:11.720
<v Speaker 2>the big bazaars where like there's shoulder to shoulder people

2450
02:16:11.720 --> 02:16:14.359
<v Speaker 2>at any hour of the day. A truck bomb well

2451
02:16:14.439 --> 02:16:17.880
<v Speaker 2>placed there, Yeah, you're gonna get mass casualty events. And

2452
02:16:17.880 --> 02:16:20.319
<v Speaker 2>that's the other thing I would consider that a mass

2453
02:16:20.359 --> 02:16:23.239
<v Speaker 2>casualty event. I don't like how America does that when

2454
02:16:23.279 --> 02:16:26.760
<v Speaker 2>there's a shooting that takes place and four people were shot,

2455
02:16:26.840 --> 02:16:30.039
<v Speaker 2>it's considered a mass shooting. Four is the number that

2456
02:16:30.119 --> 02:16:32.000
<v Speaker 2>is considered mass. That's bullshit.

2457
02:16:32.639 --> 02:16:36.079
<v Speaker 1>I think like twenty at least, can we at.

2458
02:16:36.000 --> 02:16:38.840
<v Speaker 2>Least get to double digits before we use the word mass.

2459
02:16:39.120 --> 02:16:43.360
<v Speaker 1>But yeah, the Boston bombing, that like that's a mass bombing.

2460
02:16:43.920 --> 02:16:44.159
<v Speaker 2>Yeah?

2461
02:16:44.239 --> 02:16:48.079
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, and we at least, I don't know, at least ten, I.

2462
02:16:48.079 --> 02:16:50.120
<v Speaker 2>Would say, at least hit double digits before we start

2463
02:16:50.120 --> 02:16:52.799
<v Speaker 2>throwing out these critical words. I don't know. I know,

2464
02:16:52.799 --> 02:16:55.079
<v Speaker 2>I'm a weirdo for this. So while the group has

2465
02:16:55.120 --> 02:16:59.239
<v Speaker 2>focused primarily on Somalia, it also threatens countries participating in

2466
02:16:59.319 --> 02:17:04.079
<v Speaker 2>the Africa Transitional Mission in Somalia at MISS previously known

2467
02:17:04.159 --> 02:17:09.360
<v Speaker 2>as AMASOM, and has conductive attacks in neighboring countries and Uganda.

2468
02:17:09.840 --> 02:17:13.120
<v Speaker 2>Wow Al Schabab has been most active in Kenya, which

2469
02:17:13.159 --> 02:17:16.040
<v Speaker 2>launched a military operation in Somalia against the group in

2470
02:17:16.079 --> 02:17:20.440
<v Speaker 2>twenty eleven. Kenya joined AMASAM in twenty twelve. The group

2471
02:17:20.440 --> 02:17:23.200
<v Speaker 2>has killed hundreds of Kenyans, many through hit and run

2472
02:17:23.280 --> 02:17:28.520
<v Speaker 2>tactics near Somalia's border. In twenty fifteen assault, I'm sorry,

2473
02:17:28.600 --> 02:17:32.239
<v Speaker 2>it's twenty fifteen assaults on a University in northeast Kenya,

2474
02:17:32.479 --> 02:17:34.680
<v Speaker 2>which killed at least one hundred and forty seven people,

2475
02:17:34.760 --> 02:17:38.040
<v Speaker 2>was the deadliest terrorist attack in Kenya since Al Qaeda's

2476
02:17:38.079 --> 02:17:41.760
<v Speaker 2>nineteen ninety eight bombing of the US embassy. Al Shabab's

2477
02:17:41.840 --> 02:17:45.639
<v Speaker 2>July twenty twenty two incursion into Ethiopia is its largest

2478
02:17:45.680 --> 02:17:49.559
<v Speaker 2>operation outside of Somalia to date, reportedly involving some two

2479
02:17:49.639 --> 02:17:53.280
<v Speaker 2>thousand Al Chabab fighters, The UN experts estimate that as

2480
02:17:53.319 --> 02:17:56.840
<v Speaker 2>many as one thousand fighters remain in Ethiopia, giving it

2481
02:17:56.879 --> 02:18:01.319
<v Speaker 2>a foothold despite Ethiopian claims of routing group. Al Shabab

2482
02:18:01.360 --> 02:18:03.440
<v Speaker 2>has threatened the US and western targets in the region

2483
02:18:03.479 --> 02:18:06.120
<v Speaker 2>and called for attacks against the United States. Of course,

2484
02:18:06.600 --> 02:18:09.879
<v Speaker 2>attacks on air national targets in Kenya's capital, the twenty

2485
02:18:09.920 --> 02:18:14.000
<v Speaker 2>thirteen Westgate Mall siege and the twenty nineteen Doucet D

2486
02:18:14.200 --> 02:18:19.120
<v Speaker 2>two hotel assault raised the group's international profile. Over fifty

2487
02:18:19.239 --> 02:18:22.079
<v Speaker 2>US citizens were reportedly in the Westgate Mall when the

2488
02:18:22.120 --> 02:18:26.360
<v Speaker 2>attacks started. All escaped, but six were injured. In twenty twenty,

2489
02:18:26.360 --> 02:18:29.719
<v Speaker 2>Alchabab killed a US soldier and two US contractors during

2490
02:18:29.719 --> 02:18:34.120
<v Speaker 2>a raid on Manda Bay Airfield, a Kenyan military facility

2491
02:18:34.200 --> 02:18:37.440
<v Speaker 2>used by the US military near the Somali border. The

2492
02:18:37.479 --> 02:18:40.440
<v Speaker 2>group has not claimed any attacks in the United States.

2493
02:18:40.799 --> 02:18:44.520
<v Speaker 2>It has however, encouraged lone wolf attacks in its propaganda,

2494
02:18:44.639 --> 02:18:48.120
<v Speaker 2>and in twenty fifteen it produced a video identifying shopping

2495
02:18:48.159 --> 02:18:51.079
<v Speaker 2>malls in Europe and the United States as potential targets.

2496
02:18:51.479 --> 02:18:55.639
<v Speaker 2>In twenty nineteen, a Kenyan Nationwide national was arrested in

2497
02:18:55.680 --> 02:18:58.600
<v Speaker 2>the Philippines and later extra died to the United States

2498
02:18:58.639 --> 02:19:02.479
<v Speaker 2>on charges of conspiring to hijack an aircraft on behalf

2499
02:19:02.520 --> 02:19:04.760
<v Speaker 2>of al Shabab to conduct a nine to eleven style

2500
02:19:04.799 --> 02:19:07.639
<v Speaker 2>attack in the United States. So there you have it.

2501
02:19:07.840 --> 02:19:12.559
<v Speaker 2>Now let's talk about their objectives. Al Shabab rejects democracy broadly,

2502
02:19:12.719 --> 02:19:16.440
<v Speaker 2>ascribing to a vision of uniting ethnic Somali inhabited areas

2503
02:19:16.479 --> 02:19:20.559
<v Speaker 2>in Djibouti, Kenya, Ethiopia, and Somalia into an Islamic state

2504
02:19:20.680 --> 02:19:24.399
<v Speaker 2>under its version of Sharia law. It characterizes the Somali

2505
02:19:24.479 --> 02:19:28.799
<v Speaker 2>government as an illegitimate apostate authority that is beholden to

2506
02:19:28.959 --> 02:19:32.559
<v Speaker 2>foreign powers. Al Shabab leaders have repeatedly expressed their commitment

2507
02:19:32.600 --> 02:19:36.079
<v Speaker 2>to global jihad, as you would expect an al Qaeda

2508
02:19:36.079 --> 02:19:39.479
<v Speaker 2>group to do. They justify attacks outside of Somali as

2509
02:19:39.520 --> 02:19:44.040
<v Speaker 2>a retaliation against countries conducting military operations in Somalia and

2510
02:19:44.120 --> 02:19:49.639
<v Speaker 2>as retribution for alleged abuses against Muslims. Al Shabab describes

2511
02:19:49.680 --> 02:19:52.079
<v Speaker 2>the Manda Bay and douce it D two attacks in

2512
02:19:52.159 --> 02:19:56.159
<v Speaker 2>Kenya as consistent with al Qaeda directives to target US

2513
02:19:56.239 --> 02:19:59.680
<v Speaker 2>and Israeli interests, and refer to the airfield as one

2514
02:19:59.680 --> 02:20:03.319
<v Speaker 2>of the the quote unquote launch pads for American crusades

2515
02:20:03.399 --> 02:20:08.000
<v Speaker 2>against Islam in the region end quote. Al chabov activities

2516
02:20:08.000 --> 02:20:11.559
<v Speaker 2>in Kenya more broadly appear focused on sowing in inner

2517
02:20:11.799 --> 02:20:16.280
<v Speaker 2>internal descent and fomenting and insurgency. Its fighters have specifically

2518
02:20:16.319 --> 02:20:22.959
<v Speaker 2>targeted non Muslims in some attacks there. Wow yeah, so

2519
02:20:23.040 --> 02:20:26.920
<v Speaker 2>let's see leadership shitheads or leading shitheads on that one.

2520
02:20:27.000 --> 02:20:30.360
<v Speaker 2>It is what it is. Areas of operation and capabilities.

2521
02:20:31.120 --> 02:20:34.639
<v Speaker 2>Amazam and the neighboring militaries pushed al Shabab from Mogadishu

2522
02:20:34.680 --> 02:20:37.680
<v Speaker 2>and other urban centers and ports between twenty eleven and

2523
02:20:37.719 --> 02:20:41.200
<v Speaker 2>twenty fourteen. Al Chabob's control of large areas in south

2524
02:20:41.239 --> 02:20:45.040
<v Speaker 2>and central Somalia, however, remained largely unchanged from twenty fifteen

2525
02:20:45.440 --> 02:20:49.440
<v Speaker 2>when Amazom's major offensive operations ceased until twenty twenty two,

2526
02:20:49.879 --> 02:20:53.280
<v Speaker 2>when the Somali government launched a new offensive incoordination with

2527
02:20:53.319 --> 02:20:57.559
<v Speaker 2>local militias and a grassroots uprising. Al Chabob has since

2528
02:20:57.639 --> 02:21:01.120
<v Speaker 2>lost significant territory in central Somali, but it continues to

2529
02:21:01.159 --> 02:21:06.159
<v Speaker 2>conduct reprisal attacks there. While Al Shabab lost Mogadishu and

2530
02:21:06.360 --> 02:21:09.559
<v Speaker 2>other port cities initially restricted its revenue, the group has

2531
02:21:09.639 --> 02:21:14.840
<v Speaker 2>developed an extensive taxation system covering all aspects of Somalia's economy.

2532
02:21:15.200 --> 02:21:18.639
<v Speaker 2>Per the UN and other reporting, al Chebov extortes businesses

2533
02:21:18.719 --> 02:21:22.399
<v Speaker 2>even in government areas. It generates between fifty and one

2534
02:21:22.479 --> 02:21:26.799
<v Speaker 2>hundred million dollars US annually, according to UN monitors, and

2535
02:21:26.920 --> 02:21:30.280
<v Speaker 2>uses at least twenty five percent on military purchases. Al

2536
02:21:30.319 --> 02:21:35.680
<v Speaker 2>Schebob also supports al Qaeda directly with its tax proceed proceeds.

2537
02:21:36.239 --> 02:21:38.959
<v Speaker 2>UN monitors report that Al Schebob is estimated to have

2538
02:21:39.079 --> 02:21:42.440
<v Speaker 2>between seven and twelve thousand fighters. Again, this is as

2539
02:21:42.440 --> 02:21:44.920
<v Speaker 2>a twenty twenty three that number has grown and as

2540
02:21:44.959 --> 02:21:46.920
<v Speaker 2>it's talking about the pushing out of Mogadishue. In all

2541
02:21:46.959 --> 02:21:49.520
<v Speaker 2>these places they have reclaimed the land, So keep this

2542
02:21:49.600 --> 02:21:51.360
<v Speaker 2>in mind. This report two years better.

2543
02:21:51.799 --> 02:21:56.040
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, we're doing a lot better, but now they are. Unfortunately,

2544
02:21:56.159 --> 02:21:58.360
<v Speaker 1>what we're reading is not accurate to what I read

2545
02:21:58.399 --> 02:21:59.719
<v Speaker 1>earlier today exactly.

2546
02:21:59.799 --> 02:22:03.520
<v Speaker 2>And that's what I think the former Prime Minister Ol Hassan.

2547
02:22:03.840 --> 02:22:05.639
<v Speaker 2>I think that he truly was trying to make some

2548
02:22:05.719 --> 02:22:08.600
<v Speaker 2>changes happen. The dude in there right now, shake Mohammed.

2549
02:22:09.879 --> 02:22:12.680
<v Speaker 2>There's nothing showing me that he is not an affiliate

2550
02:22:12.719 --> 02:22:13.239
<v Speaker 2>about Shama.

2551
02:22:13.440 --> 02:22:16.040
<v Speaker 1>He probably honestly is bought and paid for because the

2552
02:22:16.079 --> 02:22:18.920
<v Speaker 1>amount of land that they've taken back and everything that's

2553
02:22:18.959 --> 02:22:21.680
<v Speaker 1>going on is just is like you're pretty much cutting

2554
02:22:21.680 --> 02:22:24.840
<v Speaker 1>the knees off, cutting the lays off of your fighters,

2555
02:22:25.440 --> 02:22:28.120
<v Speaker 1>and they're dying left and right. You have hardly no

2556
02:22:28.159 --> 02:22:30.200
<v Speaker 1>one here to fight against him. You're just kind of like,

2557
02:22:31.239 --> 02:22:34.159
<v Speaker 1>it's okay, my citizens are starving, wh people are dying,

2558
02:22:34.200 --> 02:22:35.680
<v Speaker 1>and I'm just you know whatever.

2559
02:22:36.200 --> 02:22:38.280
<v Speaker 2>That's what I'm saying. And no, I'm not saying that

2560
02:22:38.319 --> 02:22:42.120
<v Speaker 2>he's clearly an affiliate because his name has Mohammed in it. Okay,

2561
02:22:42.120 --> 02:22:44.799
<v Speaker 2>that's not what I'm saying. This is primarily a Muslim country,

2562
02:22:45.399 --> 02:22:48.440
<v Speaker 2>just so we're all clear here. But when we look

2563
02:22:48.479 --> 02:22:52.760
<v Speaker 2>at the line, the chain of custody, if you will.

2564
02:22:52.840 --> 02:22:55.399
<v Speaker 2>The Prime minister that came to America for that UN

2565
02:22:55.600 --> 02:22:59.360
<v Speaker 2>talk and then went to Minnesota and was telling his people, hey,

2566
02:22:59.639 --> 02:23:04.200
<v Speaker 2>don't fund this group. While he was at at the Helm,

2567
02:23:04.600 --> 02:23:07.159
<v Speaker 2>they actually made some pretty solid progress against al Shabab.

2568
02:23:07.600 --> 02:23:10.079
<v Speaker 2>The new Prime Minister as soon as he took office

2569
02:23:10.120 --> 02:23:14.680
<v Speaker 2>to now has done nothing of note to help fight

2570
02:23:14.760 --> 02:23:16.920
<v Speaker 2>against this group, and if anything, has kind of laid

2571
02:23:16.920 --> 02:23:19.360
<v Speaker 2>on his back and taken it as they've taken most

2572
02:23:19.399 --> 02:23:22.280
<v Speaker 2>of his country. So yeah, that's what I'm saying. I

2573
02:23:22.280 --> 02:23:24.680
<v Speaker 2>said it earlier, and I agree with you, Ravenle. I

2574
02:23:24.680 --> 02:23:27.760
<v Speaker 2>think your boy is absolutely bought. And it also doesn't

2575
02:23:27.799 --> 02:23:30.399
<v Speaker 2>sound crazy whenever you look at the fact that Somalia

2576
02:23:30.559 --> 02:23:33.879
<v Speaker 2>has one of the most corrupt governments on Earth, if

2577
02:23:33.920 --> 02:23:39.079
<v Speaker 2>not the most, So why not, you know? Anyway, Yeah,

2578
02:23:39.120 --> 02:23:40.760
<v Speaker 2>that's pretty much all I wanted to read on that

2579
02:23:40.959 --> 02:23:45.360
<v Speaker 2>article here, But I am gonna shift over to the

2580
02:23:46.000 --> 02:23:49.959
<v Speaker 2>This is the Homeland Securitytoday dot US and this is

2581
02:23:50.000 --> 02:23:53.079
<v Speaker 2>a current or at least of January of twenty twenty five.

2582
02:23:53.399 --> 02:23:57.920
<v Speaker 2>This is what Homeland Security Threat forecast was for terrorism.

2583
02:23:58.159 --> 02:24:00.959
<v Speaker 2>All right, So now we're gonna go to global terrorism.

2584
02:24:01.600 --> 02:24:06.200
<v Speaker 2>Despite shifting US security priorities, such as the growing military

2585
02:24:06.239 --> 02:24:09.799
<v Speaker 2>and economic challenges posed by Russia and China. Terrorism remains

2586
02:24:09.840 --> 02:24:13.440
<v Speaker 2>a top concern. The Global Terrorism Trends and Analysis Center

2587
02:24:13.559 --> 02:24:17.239
<v Speaker 2>the GTTAC, which compiles data for the US Department of

2588
02:24:17.239 --> 02:24:22.200
<v Speaker 2>State Annual Terrorism Report, consistently records between seven thousand and

2589
02:24:22.360 --> 02:24:25.959
<v Speaker 2>nine thousand terrorist attacks yearly over the past three years.

2590
02:24:25.959 --> 02:24:28.280
<v Speaker 2>More than fifty five percent of these attacks have been

2591
02:24:28.280 --> 02:24:33.319
<v Speaker 2>attributed to Salafi jihadist terrorist groups. We're going to get

2592
02:24:33.360 --> 02:24:35.680
<v Speaker 2>to what that means here in a moment. In twenty

2593
02:24:35.719 --> 02:24:40.120
<v Speaker 2>twenty four, GTTAC documented over eight thousand attacks, with Islamic

2594
02:24:40.159 --> 02:24:44.639
<v Speaker 2>State of Iraq and Syria, ISIS and al Qaeda affiliates

2595
02:24:44.680 --> 02:24:50.040
<v Speaker 2>continuing to be major perpetrators. ISIS core in Syria, with

2596
02:24:50.159 --> 02:24:53.799
<v Speaker 2>it along with its affiliates in Nigeria, the Sahel, Afghanistan,

2597
02:24:53.879 --> 02:24:56.799
<v Speaker 2>and Pakistan were responsible for a significant number of attacks

2598
02:24:56.840 --> 02:25:00.440
<v Speaker 2>in twenty twenty four. Al Shabab, another Al Qaeda affiliate,

2599
02:25:00.479 --> 02:25:03.639
<v Speaker 2>showed a decline in attacks in Somalia in twenty twenty four,

2600
02:25:03.959 --> 02:25:08.319
<v Speaker 2>but remains capable of using complex tactics such as suicide bombings,

2601
02:25:08.639 --> 02:25:13.159
<v Speaker 2>vehicle born IEDs v beds. More critically, Al Qaeda has

2602
02:25:13.200 --> 02:25:16.440
<v Speaker 2>benefited from the Taliban rule in Afghanistan, which has enabled

2603
02:25:16.479 --> 02:25:20.280
<v Speaker 2>the group to re establish itself. So even the Department

2604
02:25:20.280 --> 02:25:24.120
<v Speaker 2>of Homeland Security recognizes that al Shabab is funding al

2605
02:25:24.239 --> 02:25:27.040
<v Speaker 2>Qaeda and al Qaeda, he even has more of a

2606
02:25:27.040 --> 02:25:29.639
<v Speaker 2>way of establishing itself. Ever since the Taliban took over

2607
02:25:29.680 --> 02:25:33.840
<v Speaker 2>in Afghanistan, they've basically been left alone, left their own

2608
02:25:33.879 --> 02:25:37.760
<v Speaker 2>devices to recruit and make money and make explosives and

2609
02:25:37.799 --> 02:25:39.120
<v Speaker 2>do all the things that they were doing in the

2610
02:25:39.120 --> 02:25:43.799
<v Speaker 2>first place. So there you have it. Now we brought

2611
02:25:43.879 --> 02:25:48.639
<v Speaker 2>up a thing just now, the Salifi or Salafi Jihadis

2612
02:25:48.760 --> 02:25:51.920
<v Speaker 2>terrorist groups. So that's a term that I don't know

2613
02:25:51.959 --> 02:25:55.959
<v Speaker 2>if many people really know what that means. So Salaphism,

2614
02:25:56.479 --> 02:26:01.840
<v Speaker 2>sa Lafism, or Salifi's what everyone call them, is a conservative,

2615
02:26:02.200 --> 02:26:06.879
<v Speaker 2>ultra conservative branch of Sunni Islam that seeks to emulate

2616
02:26:06.959 --> 02:26:10.600
<v Speaker 2>the practices and doctrines of the earliest generations of Muslims

2617
02:26:11.079 --> 02:26:15.159
<v Speaker 2>known as the Salith or pious predecessors, who are the

2618
02:26:15.239 --> 02:26:19.280
<v Speaker 2>closest to the prophet Muhammad. Adherent's advocate for a strict

2619
02:26:19.399 --> 02:26:23.680
<v Speaker 2>literal interpretation of Islamic texts or Sharia, and condemned theology.

2620
02:26:23.959 --> 02:26:30.120
<v Speaker 2>Theological innovations of folks often focused on ritual purity, religious education,

2621
02:26:30.360 --> 02:26:37.040
<v Speaker 2>and quietest approach to politics. So here's the deal. And

2622
02:26:37.840 --> 02:26:40.200
<v Speaker 2>if we have any listeners that are of the Islamic

2623
02:26:40.239 --> 02:26:42.639
<v Speaker 2>faith on this one, I would have to say, prove

2624
02:26:42.719 --> 02:26:49.559
<v Speaker 2>me wrong. Okay. Islam as a religion is a warring religion.

2625
02:26:50.360 --> 02:26:55.920
<v Speaker 2>Within their books, within the Qoran itself, and within the

2626
02:26:56.200 --> 02:27:00.319
<v Speaker 2>Hadith and all these other books, it basically yeah, there

2627
02:27:00.360 --> 02:27:03.840
<v Speaker 2>are certain sections where it talks about peace and enlightenment

2628
02:27:04.000 --> 02:27:08.200
<v Speaker 2>and God and no doubt, no doubt, But even within

2629
02:27:08.280 --> 02:27:10.479
<v Speaker 2>their books, it is very clear that this is meant

2630
02:27:10.520 --> 02:27:13.959
<v Speaker 2>to take over the world by sword point. Either they

2631
02:27:13.959 --> 02:27:16.559
<v Speaker 2>can convert willingly or they can convert at sword point.

2632
02:27:16.879 --> 02:27:19.360
<v Speaker 2>And that doesn't sound that crazy whenever you look at

2633
02:27:19.360 --> 02:27:23.520
<v Speaker 2>the fact that Mohammad himself was a con man on

2634
02:27:23.600 --> 02:27:26.639
<v Speaker 2>the Silk Road who later became a warlord, and all

2635
02:27:26.680 --> 02:27:30.399
<v Speaker 2>of his Solavs, whatever you want to call them, all

2636
02:27:30.520 --> 02:27:35.239
<v Speaker 2>of them were generals. All of them were warlords who

2637
02:27:35.360 --> 02:27:39.799
<v Speaker 2>went on massive killing campaigns to spread the good word

2638
02:27:39.840 --> 02:27:44.360
<v Speaker 2>of Mohammad. Take that however you want. I know that

2639
02:27:44.360 --> 02:27:47.239
<v Speaker 2>people are gonna start shitting on Christianity, well, Christians kiote

2640
02:27:47.319 --> 02:27:51.120
<v Speaker 2>Bush too. Pause it did, yes, but pause. Nowhere in

2641
02:27:51.159 --> 02:27:54.200
<v Speaker 2>our book does it say to do that to non believers.

2642
02:27:54.360 --> 02:27:56.680
<v Speaker 1>That's true. It does say that.

2643
02:27:57.239 --> 02:27:59.639
<v Speaker 2>The Old Testament is Old Testament. I'm not talking about

2644
02:27:59.639 --> 02:28:03.879
<v Speaker 2>that Christianity, the New Testament that we live by. If anything,

2645
02:28:03.959 --> 02:28:08.040
<v Speaker 2>he said, turn the other cheek. He was a pacifist, right,

2646
02:28:08.319 --> 02:28:10.239
<v Speaker 2>And when you look at the words of Paul, he

2647
02:28:10.399 --> 02:28:13.040
<v Speaker 2>talks about how to set up churches and be peaceful

2648
02:28:13.440 --> 02:28:16.239
<v Speaker 2>and be you know, reaching out to the downtroden, take

2649
02:28:16.280 --> 02:28:19.479
<v Speaker 2>care of the widows, take care of the orphans. Islam

2650
02:28:19.600 --> 02:28:22.399
<v Speaker 2>is not. That's not what they were preaching. Ever. For

2651
02:28:22.440 --> 02:28:25.200
<v Speaker 2>that matter, I know that the you know, Islam had

2652
02:28:25.239 --> 02:28:26.959
<v Speaker 2>a golden age at one point in time, and there

2653
02:28:26.959 --> 02:28:30.000
<v Speaker 2>was a lot of scientific innovations that happened because of this.

2654
02:28:30.040 --> 02:28:32.319
<v Speaker 2>And I understand that. But if we're just gonna look

2655
02:28:32.360 --> 02:28:36.280
<v Speaker 2>at the litmus test here, just on a really solid

2656
02:28:36.360 --> 02:28:41.200
<v Speaker 2>pH scale, here the spectrum one religion more than any

2657
02:28:41.239 --> 02:28:44.920
<v Speaker 2>other on earth is throwing acid in women's faces and

2658
02:28:45.000 --> 02:28:49.319
<v Speaker 2>going into rape gang modes more than any other religion

2659
02:28:49.360 --> 02:28:52.520
<v Speaker 2>on earth. I feel like that's they have.

2660
02:28:52.479 --> 02:28:54.079
<v Speaker 1>A lot of They have a lot of things, so

2661
02:28:54.200 --> 02:28:59.959
<v Speaker 1>that are just completely unethical. Oh yeah, I don't quite understand.

2662
02:29:00.079 --> 02:29:04.559
<v Speaker 1>And I've seen some TikTok videos of these women that

2663
02:29:05.159 --> 02:29:08.559
<v Speaker 1>were not born into that religion that convert into it.

2664
02:29:08.520 --> 02:29:10.639
<v Speaker 2>And I was like, blows my mind.

2665
02:29:10.920 --> 02:29:14.040
<v Speaker 1>There's a white I'm so confused. There's two white women.

2666
02:29:14.239 --> 02:29:19.040
<v Speaker 2>She's a college she teaches Islam, and I'm like, wait,

2667
02:29:19.159 --> 02:29:22.280
<v Speaker 2>you what And their their response ravenly, Oh my god,

2668
02:29:23.120 --> 02:29:26.639
<v Speaker 2>their response to why this is Islam is actually a

2669
02:29:26.680 --> 02:29:30.520
<v Speaker 2>feminist religion, reason being, when you marry your husband, you

2670
02:29:30.639 --> 02:29:33.879
<v Speaker 2>keep your last name. That's it. That's it.

2671
02:29:34.559 --> 02:29:36.799
<v Speaker 1>That is the most ridiculous thing I've ever heard in

2672
02:29:36.799 --> 02:29:43.000
<v Speaker 1>my life, considering that they've just pushed and got several

2673
02:29:43.040 --> 02:29:47.040
<v Speaker 1>countries to lower the age of consent for marriage to

2674
02:29:47.200 --> 02:29:47.760
<v Speaker 1>like nine.

2675
02:29:47.959 --> 02:29:51.360
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, well that's because the prophet married a six year old. Yeah,

2676
02:29:51.440 --> 02:29:53.959
<v Speaker 2>waited until she was nine to consummate, because you know,

2677
02:29:54.360 --> 02:29:55.959
<v Speaker 2>I'm sure, right, Yeah.

2678
02:29:55.959 --> 02:30:01.879
<v Speaker 1>General mutilation totally a vibe, you know, be beheading, stonings,

2679
02:30:02.319 --> 02:30:09.399
<v Speaker 1>acid burnings, you know, that's completely famished. Yeah, totally. I

2680
02:30:09.559 --> 02:30:11.920
<v Speaker 1>just when I saw those things, I'm like, you know,

2681
02:30:12.079 --> 02:30:15.399
<v Speaker 1>everyone has the right to choose and make decisions for themselves,

2682
02:30:15.399 --> 02:30:19.639
<v Speaker 1>but why, as a woman would you pick a religion

2683
02:30:20.600 --> 02:30:25.799
<v Speaker 1>that does these things. Not all branches of Islam does this, No,

2684
02:30:26.479 --> 02:30:29.520
<v Speaker 1>but there are extremists be like, at what point do

2685
02:30:29.680 --> 02:30:33.000
<v Speaker 1>you know though you stepping into that religion, you're now

2686
02:30:33.399 --> 02:30:34.040
<v Speaker 1>in it.

2687
02:30:34.840 --> 02:30:38.280
<v Speaker 2>So there are so many Muslim converts that are doing

2688
02:30:38.399 --> 02:30:40.879
<v Speaker 2>very well on YouTube. I might add that will tell

2689
02:30:40.920 --> 02:30:44.479
<v Speaker 2>you about the country. They grew up in, the religion

2690
02:30:44.520 --> 02:30:46.959
<v Speaker 2>that they grew up in, and then they realized when

2691
02:30:46.959 --> 02:30:50.520
<v Speaker 2>they got older and they started, you know, thinking critically

2692
02:30:50.959 --> 02:30:53.680
<v Speaker 2>about it and reading this book, and it's like they

2693
02:30:53.719 --> 02:30:56.719
<v Speaker 2>hear somebody make some crazy claim about the prophet and

2694
02:30:56.760 --> 02:30:58.840
<v Speaker 2>they're like, that's not what he said, that's not what happened,

2695
02:30:58.840 --> 02:31:00.680
<v Speaker 2>and they're like, look in to it, and they do,

2696
02:31:00.760 --> 02:31:04.360
<v Speaker 2>and they're like, oh my god. This guy was a pedophile.

2697
02:31:05.000 --> 02:31:10.520
<v Speaker 2>He absolutely was a warlord. He absolutely also got he

2698
02:31:10.639 --> 02:31:13.719
<v Speaker 2>was also a raging homosexual. That should also be thrown

2699
02:31:13.719 --> 02:31:15.719
<v Speaker 2>out there. He had like now nine wives or some

2700
02:31:15.760 --> 02:31:18.680
<v Speaker 2>shit like that. Seven ten I forget. But like there's

2701
02:31:18.719 --> 02:31:23.079
<v Speaker 2>also the night where he quote unquote fought demons, which actually,

2702
02:31:23.079 --> 02:31:25.079
<v Speaker 2>if you look at the story, he basically just got

2703
02:31:25.920 --> 02:31:29.200
<v Speaker 2>a train ran on him by a bunch of black guys.

2704
02:31:29.559 --> 02:31:31.920
<v Speaker 2>And the story was shifted to where they were quote

2705
02:31:31.959 --> 02:31:36.399
<v Speaker 2>unquote demons. They weren't. The tribe that's mentioned was known

2706
02:31:36.559 --> 02:31:39.280
<v Speaker 2>in the day and age for being very tall, dark

2707
02:31:39.319 --> 02:31:43.120
<v Speaker 2>complexed gentleman with very long dicks, and they rode him

2708
02:31:43.200 --> 02:31:45.879
<v Speaker 2>all night long. And if you look at the context,

2709
02:31:46.399 --> 02:31:49.079
<v Speaker 2>rode him all night long had the same meaning in

2710
02:31:49.120 --> 02:31:52.079
<v Speaker 2>that context that it does today. It was a whole thing.

2711
02:31:52.799 --> 02:31:55.879
<v Speaker 2>Oh yeah, okay, yeah.

2712
02:31:56.319 --> 02:31:58.959
<v Speaker 1>I mean is there is a really good couple on

2713
02:31:59.200 --> 02:32:03.200
<v Speaker 1>Instagram is Muslim and they have, like, I like a

2714
02:32:03.239 --> 02:32:06.159
<v Speaker 1>lot of their videos. They're wonderful and they do some

2715
02:32:06.200 --> 02:32:09.600
<v Speaker 1>really cool tiktoks and they answer tons of questions for sure,

2716
02:32:09.760 --> 02:32:12.559
<v Speaker 1>and you know they have a lot of you know,

2717
02:32:12.719 --> 02:32:15.399
<v Speaker 1>positive things to say and like good for them. But

2718
02:32:15.520 --> 02:32:18.920
<v Speaker 1>like when you're coming based off of a man that

2719
02:32:19.079 --> 02:32:24.040
<v Speaker 1>is a true pedophile, that alone just I mean, there's

2720
02:32:24.079 --> 02:32:27.639
<v Speaker 1>there's nothing else you can say about it, like and okay.

2721
02:32:27.360 --> 02:32:29.239
<v Speaker 2>I've even heard people say, well, I mean, you know,

2722
02:32:29.399 --> 02:32:31.440
<v Speaker 2>the marrying age in most of the world used to

2723
02:32:31.440 --> 02:32:35.799
<v Speaker 2>be sixteen okay, pause, sixteen pause.

2724
02:32:35.639 --> 02:32:39.799
<v Speaker 1>Is completely a different story in and of itself. Sixteen

2725
02:32:39.840 --> 02:32:41.719
<v Speaker 1>and nine, sixteen and twelve.

2726
02:32:42.079 --> 02:32:44.920
<v Speaker 2>Thirteen, completely different conversations here and I'm not even saying

2727
02:32:44.959 --> 02:32:47.440
<v Speaker 2>the sixteen is acceptable, Like I'm not going that route.

2728
02:32:47.600 --> 02:32:51.120
<v Speaker 2>But there is a drastic difference between a sixteen year

2729
02:32:51.159 --> 02:32:54.520
<v Speaker 2>old getting married to a twenty year old from a

2730
02:32:54.600 --> 02:32:57.239
<v Speaker 2>six year old getting married to a forty five year old.

2731
02:32:57.440 --> 02:33:00.520
<v Speaker 2>And if these people can't actually like comprehend and the

2732
02:33:00.639 --> 02:33:03.719
<v Speaker 2>difference there, then clearly we are operating on two different

2733
02:33:03.799 --> 02:33:08.239
<v Speaker 2>levels of reality and two different moral barometers as a whole, honestly.

2734
02:33:09.159 --> 02:33:12.799
<v Speaker 1>But the fact that they fought against, they fought against

2735
02:33:12.879 --> 02:33:16.079
<v Speaker 1>the marrying age in multiple countries just this year alone,

2736
02:33:16.120 --> 02:33:20.120
<v Speaker 1>to get lowered to nine years old. Ye have a

2737
02:33:20.200 --> 02:33:26.520
<v Speaker 1>nine year old girl. I can't the thought.

2738
02:33:26.280 --> 02:33:28.440
<v Speaker 2>Of marrying your nine year old to a fifty year

2739
02:33:28.479 --> 02:33:30.760
<v Speaker 2>old man said she could be one of his eight

2740
02:33:30.840 --> 02:33:33.920
<v Speaker 2>wives or whatever. The thought of a parent thinking that

2741
02:33:34.000 --> 02:33:39.200
<v Speaker 2>this is acceptable behavior like that deserves death in my opinion.

2742
02:33:39.920 --> 02:33:43.719
<v Speaker 1>Oh, there's so much worse that they deserve to me personally.

2743
02:33:43.879 --> 02:33:49.120
<v Speaker 1>But you know, we're off topic, but that's just a yeah,

2744
02:33:49.159 --> 02:33:51.319
<v Speaker 1>that's not something that you're ever going to change my mind,

2745
02:33:51.399 --> 02:33:52.120
<v Speaker 1>is acceptable.

2746
02:33:52.600 --> 02:33:54.959
<v Speaker 2>So now all right, getting back on topic here, let's

2747
02:33:55.000 --> 02:33:58.079
<v Speaker 2>talk about the fraud. Let's talk about the scandal that

2748
02:33:58.120 --> 02:34:01.799
<v Speaker 2>has taken place here right in Minnesota from the Somalis

2749
02:34:02.680 --> 02:34:05.600
<v Speaker 2>and how this is being used to fund Al Shabab?

2750
02:34:05.680 --> 02:34:10.000
<v Speaker 2>Shall we so Feeding our Future? Feeding Our Future was

2751
02:34:10.040 --> 02:34:14.680
<v Speaker 2>a Minnesota nonprofit founded in twenty sixteen. It claimed to

2752
02:34:14.719 --> 02:34:18.040
<v Speaker 2>distribute many thousands of meals to school children during COVID

2753
02:34:18.120 --> 02:34:21.680
<v Speaker 2>nineteen pandemic, who stole hundreds of millions of dollars while

2754
02:34:21.680 --> 02:34:25.079
<v Speaker 2>providing few or no meals at all to most of

2755
02:34:25.079 --> 02:34:29.040
<v Speaker 2>its locations. Although the state agency responsible for monitoring the

2756
02:34:29.040 --> 02:34:32.479
<v Speaker 2>school meal program repeatedly tried to cut off funds, the

2757
02:34:32.600 --> 02:34:35.799
<v Speaker 2>organization was not shut down until FBI raids and federal

2758
02:34:35.840 --> 02:34:39.760
<v Speaker 2>indictments in twenty twenty two. As of late twenty twenty five,

2759
02:34:40.159 --> 02:34:43.159
<v Speaker 2>out of these seventy eight suspects indicted in the fraud,

2760
02:34:43.280 --> 02:34:46.840
<v Speaker 2>more than fifty have pled guilty. Another seven individuals were

2761
02:34:46.879 --> 02:34:50.159
<v Speaker 2>found guilty at trial, including the leader of the scheme,

2762
02:34:50.680 --> 02:34:55.520
<v Speaker 2>Amy Bach, while many others awaited trials. So, now let's

2763
02:34:55.559 --> 02:35:00.120
<v Speaker 2>dive into the history of Feeding Our Future, right, I

2764
02:35:00.159 --> 02:35:02.840
<v Speaker 2>mean that sounds like it's a good idea on the onset.

2765
02:35:03.319 --> 02:35:06.440
<v Speaker 2>The organization was found in twenty sixteen and repeatedly applied

2766
02:35:06.440 --> 02:35:09.319
<v Speaker 2>for grants from the state of Minnesota, but was rejected

2767
02:35:09.399 --> 02:35:14.040
<v Speaker 2>due to allegations of mismanagement and abuses Smart Minnesota. The

2768
02:35:14.200 --> 02:35:17.840
<v Speaker 2>organization's tax status as a nonprofit was revoked by the IRS.

2769
02:35:17.920 --> 02:35:21.479
<v Speaker 2>In February of twenty twenty. After the onset of the

2770
02:35:21.600 --> 02:35:24.920
<v Speaker 2>virus in the pandemic and a large increase in the

2771
02:35:24.920 --> 02:35:28.200
<v Speaker 2>amount of federal aid available, Feeding Our Future applied to

2772
02:35:28.200 --> 02:35:31.440
<v Speaker 2>receive funding to provide meals to school children as schools

2773
02:35:31.479 --> 02:35:35.040
<v Speaker 2>were closed. Although the Minnesota Department of Education knew the

2774
02:35:35.159 --> 02:35:38.959
<v Speaker 2>issues with Feeding our Future, it began giving the organization

2775
02:35:39.200 --> 02:35:43.200
<v Speaker 2>substantial grants after Feeding our Future threatened legal action against

2776
02:35:43.200 --> 02:35:48.520
<v Speaker 2>the state. Ultimately, after md OR the Minnesota Department of

2777
02:35:48.600 --> 02:35:52.760
<v Speaker 2>education began delaying responses to Feeding our Future's grant applications,

2778
02:35:53.000 --> 02:35:56.200
<v Speaker 2>the organization sued the state in November of twenty twenty,

2779
02:35:56.559 --> 02:36:00.959
<v Speaker 2>arguing that it was being discriminated against. It's obviously what

2780
02:36:01.000 --> 02:36:05.159
<v Speaker 2>it is. It's discrimination, it's racist. Around the same time,

2781
02:36:05.319 --> 02:36:08.360
<v Speaker 2>the Minnesota Department of Education raised concerns of fraud with

2782
02:36:08.399 --> 02:36:12.399
<v Speaker 2>the United States Department of Agriculture, and the FBI began investigating.

2783
02:36:12.440 --> 02:36:15.360
<v Speaker 2>In February of twenty twenty one, Feeding Our Futures leader

2784
02:36:15.399 --> 02:36:19.959
<v Speaker 2>Amy Bach maintained ties with the local politicians, including Minneapolis

2785
02:36:19.959 --> 02:36:24.719
<v Speaker 2>Mayor Jacob Frey and State Senator Omar Fete. We're going

2786
02:36:24.799 --> 02:36:27.399
<v Speaker 2>to talk about these people here in a moment because

2787
02:36:27.840 --> 02:36:31.360
<v Speaker 2>there was an election that just took place and Omar

2788
02:36:31.440 --> 02:36:36.639
<v Speaker 2>Fate lost his Minneapolis mayoral race to Jacob Frey. It's

2789
02:36:36.639 --> 02:36:39.319
<v Speaker 2>funny because Omar Feta is a very loud and proud

2790
02:36:39.360 --> 02:36:42.200
<v Speaker 2>anti Zionist who believes that all Jews should be killed,

2791
02:36:42.719 --> 02:36:46.760
<v Speaker 2>and Jacob Fray is a Jewish dude, and they're both

2792
02:36:46.799 --> 02:36:50.040
<v Speaker 2>Democrats for the record, So the anti jew guy just

2793
02:36:50.120 --> 02:36:54.440
<v Speaker 2>lost to the jew guy in Minnesota or Minneapolis which anyway, anyway,

2794
02:36:55.000 --> 02:36:58.799
<v Speaker 2>an aide to Frase Abdi Salah ultimately pled guilty to

2795
02:36:58.959 --> 02:37:03.000
<v Speaker 2>wire fraud. So the dude who just won the mayoral race,

2796
02:37:03.440 --> 02:37:10.600
<v Speaker 2>the Jewish guy, he his I'm sorry, his aid. Abdi

2797
02:37:10.680 --> 02:37:14.680
<v Speaker 2>Salah pled guilty to wire fraud. So just so we're

2798
02:37:14.719 --> 02:37:18.000
<v Speaker 2>all clear here, Omar Fete also was very guilty of

2799
02:37:18.040 --> 02:37:20.479
<v Speaker 2>the money laundering in the fraud on this shit, but

2800
02:37:20.639 --> 02:37:24.040
<v Speaker 2>so was Jacob Fray. Just so we're all clear here.

2801
02:37:24.040 --> 02:37:29.399
<v Speaker 2>Moving on, uh Frey stated he was unaware of Salah's activities. Oh,

2802
02:37:29.440 --> 02:37:33.920
<v Speaker 2>I'm sure. Another supporter was Minneapolis council member Jamal Osman.

2803
02:37:35.079 --> 02:37:40.879
<v Speaker 2>Very funny that that's funny that Osama bin Laden's technical

2804
02:37:40.959 --> 02:37:46.319
<v Speaker 2>CIA agent name was Tim Osman and now Jamal Osmon anyway,

2805
02:37:46.799 --> 02:37:50.120
<v Speaker 2>whose wife operated a Feeding Our Future Meal site which

2806
02:37:50.159 --> 02:37:54.200
<v Speaker 2>received more than four hundred thousand dollars in funding. Federal

2807
02:37:54.200 --> 02:37:57.600
<v Speaker 2>prosecutors allege that only over around three percent of the

2808
02:37:57.639 --> 02:38:00.719
<v Speaker 2>funding granted to Feeding Our Future Meal site was spent

2809
02:38:00.760 --> 02:38:03.719
<v Speaker 2>on food, while the remainder was funneled to the individual

2810
02:38:03.799 --> 02:38:07.239
<v Speaker 2>conspirators involved in the fraud. At its peak, the organization

2811
02:38:07.360 --> 02:38:10.959
<v Speaker 2>listed two hundred and ninety nine meal sites which purported

2812
02:38:11.000 --> 02:38:14.799
<v Speaker 2>to have served ninety million meals in less than two years.

2813
02:38:15.120 --> 02:38:17.239
<v Speaker 2>That's more than one hundred and twenty thousand meals per day.

2814
02:38:17.799 --> 02:38:21.959
<v Speaker 2>One site survey or surveilled by the FBI, claiming to

2815
02:38:22.000 --> 02:38:29.360
<v Speaker 2>serve six thousand meals per day, actually averaged around forty visitors. Yeah,

2816
02:38:29.399 --> 02:38:33.719
<v Speaker 2>that's insane, blatant for the say Grint fraud.

2817
02:38:33.760 --> 02:38:36.200
<v Speaker 1>It's absolutely just like, hey, we're.

2818
02:38:36.000 --> 02:38:39.520
<v Speaker 2>Doing this basically, and they just kept running until it

2819
02:38:39.559 --> 02:38:42.159
<v Speaker 2>got caught. And I mean there was already a case

2820
02:38:42.159 --> 02:38:44.200
<v Speaker 2>of these people getting their case thrown out, So I mean,

2821
02:38:44.319 --> 02:38:47.040
<v Speaker 2>once there's a legal precedent for it. Eh, what the

2822
02:38:47.079 --> 02:38:50.559
<v Speaker 2>fuck right? Meanwhile, in December of twenty twenty, the Minnesota

2823
02:38:50.559 --> 02:38:54.079
<v Speaker 2>Department of Education denied Feeding our Futures ongoing grant applications

2824
02:38:54.079 --> 02:38:58.600
<v Speaker 2>and labeled the organization severely deficient, leading to an attempt

2825
02:38:58.639 --> 02:39:02.680
<v Speaker 2>by MDE to terminate all the partnership. Fully Feeding our

2826
02:39:02.680 --> 02:39:06.159
<v Speaker 2>Future sued the state in response. Minnesota Judge John Goothman

2827
02:39:06.360 --> 02:39:09.280
<v Speaker 2>or Guthman found in the spring of twenty twenty one

2828
02:39:09.319 --> 02:39:12.799
<v Speaker 2>that there was no legal basis for stopping payments and

2829
02:39:12.840 --> 02:39:16.319
<v Speaker 2>informed MDE that there could be a quote unquote real

2830
02:39:16.360 --> 02:39:20.680
<v Speaker 2>problem if it did not resume preceding Feeding our Future's

2831
02:39:21.000 --> 02:39:24.360
<v Speaker 2>grant applications. Although he did not do what.

2832
02:39:24.959 --> 02:39:26.079
<v Speaker 1>So he's getting money too?

2833
02:39:26.200 --> 02:39:29.600
<v Speaker 2>Oh he's paid. Oh, he's so paid. Although he did

2834
02:39:29.639 --> 02:39:33.120
<v Speaker 2>not formally order MDE to resume giving grants, he basically

2835
02:39:33.120 --> 02:39:36.079
<v Speaker 2>threatened them. He didn't order it, but he said that listen,

2836
02:39:36.639 --> 02:39:40.200
<v Speaker 2>Minnesota Department of Education, there's gonna be some real problems

2837
02:39:40.239 --> 02:39:44.280
<v Speaker 2>if y'all don't give these people day money. We didn't

2838
02:39:44.360 --> 02:39:47.360
<v Speaker 2>order it was that's one of those quid pro cro things,

2839
02:39:47.440 --> 02:39:51.559
<v Speaker 2>quid pro quo, excuse me, behind closed door talks Several

2840
02:39:51.559 --> 02:39:54.959
<v Speaker 2>months later, Guthman hailed MDE in contempt of court for

2841
02:39:55.079 --> 02:39:58.799
<v Speaker 2>processing grant applications slowly and ordered the state agency to

2842
02:39:58.879 --> 02:40:01.159
<v Speaker 2>pay a fine of forty seven one thousand, five hundred

2843
02:40:01.200 --> 02:40:04.799
<v Speaker 2>dollars to Feeding Our Future. So, even though the Minnesota

2844
02:40:04.799 --> 02:40:07.760
<v Speaker 2>Department of Education was doing their due diligence and looking

2845
02:40:07.840 --> 02:40:11.120
<v Speaker 2>into every single case before it cut a check, that

2846
02:40:11.319 --> 02:40:15.840
<v Speaker 2>same judge find them for it, for doing their job

2847
02:40:16.000 --> 02:40:18.200
<v Speaker 2>and doing their due diligence and making sure this money

2848
02:40:18.239 --> 02:40:19.319
<v Speaker 2>wasn't going to bullshit.

2849
02:40:19.920 --> 02:40:21.159
<v Speaker 1>He needs to be looked into.

2850
02:40:21.360 --> 02:40:24.639
<v Speaker 2>Ooh he does, Oh he does. So let's talk about

2851
02:40:24.680 --> 02:40:28.239
<v Speaker 2>the federal charges and legal proceedings of Feeding Our Future.

2852
02:40:28.639 --> 02:40:31.079
<v Speaker 2>In January twenty twenty two, the FBI rated a number

2853
02:40:31.079 --> 02:40:34.319
<v Speaker 2>of Feeding our Future quote unquote meal locations, and the

2854
02:40:34.399 --> 02:40:40.120
<v Speaker 2>nonprofit was disestablished shortly thereafter. A shocker I know that

2855
02:40:40.239 --> 02:40:42.920
<v Speaker 2>fall members of the organization were accused of defrauding the

2856
02:40:42.959 --> 02:40:46.479
<v Speaker 2>state USDA funded school nutrition program of at least two

2857
02:40:46.559 --> 02:40:48.799
<v Speaker 2>hundred and fifty million dollars over the course of the

2858
02:40:48.840 --> 02:40:53.639
<v Speaker 2>COVID nineteen situation, led by the organization's president. Back on

2859
02:40:53.719 --> 02:40:57.479
<v Speaker 2>September twentieth of twenty twenty two, the US Attorney Andrew M.

2860
02:40:57.559 --> 02:41:01.680
<v Speaker 2>Lueger announced federal charges against forty seven former Feeding Our

2861
02:41:01.719 --> 02:41:05.319
<v Speaker 2>Future employees of their involvement in the nation's largest pandemic

2862
02:41:05.319 --> 02:41:08.520
<v Speaker 2>related fraud scheme. By October twenty twenty four, the number

2863
02:41:08.520 --> 02:41:12.159
<v Speaker 2>of indicted individuals reached seventy. In the spring of twenty

2864
02:41:12.200 --> 02:41:15.120
<v Speaker 2>twenty four, a group of seven defendants were the first

2865
02:41:15.159 --> 02:41:17.200
<v Speaker 2>to go to trial. Near the end of the trial,

2866
02:41:17.200 --> 02:41:20.040
<v Speaker 2>an attempt was made to bribe a juror to vote

2867
02:41:20.120 --> 02:41:26.399
<v Speaker 2>to acquit with one hundred and twenty thousand dollars in cash.

2868
02:41:26.799 --> 02:41:30.120
<v Speaker 1>Y'all, this whole thing just smells terrible, and it's like, uh,

2869
02:41:30.360 --> 02:41:32.680
<v Speaker 1>it's fine, We're just going to keep ignoring it.

2870
02:41:33.120 --> 02:41:36.280
<v Speaker 2>The juror reported the incident and was dismissed to avoid

2871
02:41:36.280 --> 02:41:40.040
<v Speaker 2>the appearance of impropriety, along with another who heard about

2872
02:41:40.040 --> 02:41:43.280
<v Speaker 2>the incident from a relative. The jury was sequestered for

2873
02:41:43.319 --> 02:41:46.280
<v Speaker 2>the remainder of the trial. Of the first seven defendants,

2874
02:41:46.440 --> 02:41:49.639
<v Speaker 2>five were convicted on most charges against them, while two

2875
02:41:49.719 --> 02:41:53.120
<v Speaker 2>were acquitted. Several weeks later, five suspects, including three of

2876
02:41:53.159 --> 02:41:55.959
<v Speaker 2>the defendants from the first trial, were indicted on charges

2877
02:41:56.000 --> 02:41:58.799
<v Speaker 2>related to the bribery. One of the individuals indicted for

2878
02:41:58.840 --> 02:42:01.479
<v Speaker 2>the bribery had been acquitted of fraud during the trial.

2879
02:42:02.280 --> 02:42:05.079
<v Speaker 2>Bro what so even one of the ones that were

2880
02:42:05.120 --> 02:42:10.559
<v Speaker 2>acquitted was found guilty of the bribery situation. All five

2881
02:42:10.639 --> 02:42:13.520
<v Speaker 2>suspects in the bribery case had pled guilty to the

2882
02:42:13.559 --> 02:42:18.959
<v Speaker 2>resulting charges by May of twenty twenty five. I mean,

2883
02:42:20.639 --> 02:42:22.079
<v Speaker 2>what are we even talking about here?

2884
02:42:23.040 --> 02:42:25.079
<v Speaker 1>I just can't make this shit up at this point.

2885
02:42:25.040 --> 02:42:28.680
<v Speaker 2>You can't. This sounds like bad daytime television. A federal

2886
02:42:28.799 --> 02:42:31.479
<v Speaker 2>court handed down the first sentence to in the scandal

2887
02:42:31.520 --> 02:42:35.840
<v Speaker 2>on October fifteenth, twenty twenty four. Mohammad Ismali received a

2888
02:42:35.879 --> 02:42:40.520
<v Speaker 2>twelve year sentence. Two of the three counts involved conspiracy. Yes,

2889
02:42:40.559 --> 02:42:42.000
<v Speaker 2>this is why we're talking about on the cult of

2890
02:42:42.000 --> 02:42:45.159
<v Speaker 2>conspiracy everybody. He was ordered to pay more than forty

2891
02:42:45.200 --> 02:42:49.239
<v Speaker 2>seven million dollars in restitution. The second trial in the

2892
02:42:49.280 --> 02:42:51.920
<v Speaker 2>case began in February twenty twenty five for Amy Bach,

2893
02:42:52.280 --> 02:42:55.600
<v Speaker 2>the ring leader of the scheme and a leading co conspirator,

2894
02:42:55.680 --> 02:43:00.000
<v Speaker 2>Salaam said. On March nineteen, twenty twenty five, Bakinside were

2895
02:43:00.079 --> 02:43:03.879
<v Speaker 2>both found guilty on all counts. Two additional suspect, the

2896
02:43:04.000 --> 02:43:06.879
<v Speaker 2>seventy first and seventy second ones that were brought in

2897
02:43:07.159 --> 02:43:09.959
<v Speaker 2>were indicted in May and June of twenty twenty five.

2898
02:43:10.200 --> 02:43:12.719
<v Speaker 2>One was arrested just before boarding a flight out of

2899
02:43:12.719 --> 02:43:16.319
<v Speaker 2>the United States, and the seventy third suspect was indicted

2900
02:43:16.360 --> 02:43:18.719
<v Speaker 2>in early August twenty twenty five. Yeah, he was about

2901
02:43:18.719 --> 02:43:20.639
<v Speaker 2>to high tail it out. He saw the riding on

2902
02:43:20.680 --> 02:43:22.040
<v Speaker 2>the walls. He was trying to get out and got

2903
02:43:22.079 --> 02:43:23.239
<v Speaker 2>picked up at the airport.

2904
02:43:23.280 --> 02:43:25.280
<v Speaker 1>He was close. I would have been left. I would

2905
02:43:25.319 --> 02:43:29.120
<v Speaker 1>have left at like number ten. Getting arrested, I'm like, nap,

2906
02:43:29.280 --> 02:43:30.440
<v Speaker 1>I'm out right now.

2907
02:43:30.760 --> 02:43:33.040
<v Speaker 2>But I guess they kept thinking that they could beat

2908
02:43:33.040 --> 02:43:35.520
<v Speaker 2>the case, or bribe the judge or bribe the jurors,

2909
02:43:35.520 --> 02:43:37.920
<v Speaker 2>and then whenever this got brought he's like, oh, I'm

2910
02:43:37.920 --> 02:43:40.399
<v Speaker 2>out this bitch son, hocus pocus, you ain't seeing me

2911
02:43:40.440 --> 02:43:42.120
<v Speaker 2>no more, and they still snatch his ass up at

2912
02:43:42.120 --> 02:43:45.079
<v Speaker 2>the airport. In November twenty twenty five. Out of these

2913
02:43:45.120 --> 02:43:48.920
<v Speaker 2>seventy eight suspects indicted in the fraud, dozens had played

2914
02:43:48.959 --> 02:43:51.760
<v Speaker 2>guilty and seven had been found guilty at trial, while

2915
02:43:51.760 --> 02:43:54.680
<v Speaker 2>many others awaited trial. Although more than two hundred and

2916
02:43:54.719 --> 02:43:57.399
<v Speaker 2>fifty million dollars is alleged to have been stolen. Only

2917
02:43:57.440 --> 02:44:01.200
<v Speaker 2>around seventy five million had been recover as of early

2918
02:44:01.239 --> 02:44:03.799
<v Speaker 2>twenty twenty five, as much of the money was spent

2919
02:44:03.879 --> 02:44:08.159
<v Speaker 2>on unrecoverable expenses like luxury meals and hotels, or was

2920
02:44:08.200 --> 02:44:13.959
<v Speaker 2>transferred to overseas investments which the United States cannot cease.

2921
02:44:15.680 --> 02:44:20.520
<v Speaker 2>So yeah, no, I'm gonna go ahead and talk about

2922
02:44:20.559 --> 02:44:24.760
<v Speaker 2>some of these higher profile defendants. Here. There's a list,

2923
02:44:25.600 --> 02:44:28.079
<v Speaker 2>but I'm not going to read every single one of them,

2924
02:44:28.200 --> 02:44:29.920
<v Speaker 2>but just so we're all clear about the amounts that

2925
02:44:29.920 --> 02:44:33.760

<v Speaker 1>You're just trying to live his best life at his age.

2950
02:46:12.079 --> 02:46:13.319
<v Speaker 2>Okay, he's doing a thing.

2951
02:46:13.360 --> 02:46:14.000
<v Speaker 1>Why are you hating?

2952
02:46:14.399 --> 02:46:16.319
<v Speaker 2>Why are you being such a hater, dude?

2953
02:46:16.440 --> 02:46:19.559
<v Speaker 1>It'd be a potator right now.

2954
02:46:19.799 --> 02:46:21.680
<v Speaker 2>They had potatoes. They might not be so starving in

2955
02:46:21.680 --> 02:46:27.239
<v Speaker 2>this car anyway, anyway, So moving on whatever, whatever, it's fine.

2956
02:46:27.319 --> 02:46:31.120
<v Speaker 1>They had a drought, a severe drout. That's actually what

2957
02:46:31.239 --> 02:46:32.280
<v Speaker 1>kickstarted the famine.

2958
02:46:32.680 --> 02:46:37.280
<v Speaker 2>I understand that that understand that. I'm just saying, perhaps

2959
02:46:37.840 --> 02:46:41.159
<v Speaker 2>we send food their way, not money we have.

2960
02:46:41.559 --> 02:46:45.520
<v Speaker 1>We've tried, well, they can't get it in. They can't

2961
02:46:45.959 --> 02:46:49.040
<v Speaker 1>get the stuff because of piracy and all the corruption

2962
02:46:49.120 --> 02:46:49.760
<v Speaker 1>that's going on.

2963
02:46:50.360 --> 02:46:53.239
<v Speaker 2>I believe it. I absolutely believe it. Anyway. All right,

2964
02:46:53.280 --> 02:46:56.079
<v Speaker 2>So now let's let's talk about this last article here.

2965
02:46:56.159 --> 02:47:01.040
<v Speaker 2>So the anti Zionist candidate Omar Fete it is Minneapolis

2966
02:47:01.120 --> 02:47:04.319
<v Speaker 2>mayoral race to Jacob Frey. We just brought both of

2967
02:47:04.360 --> 02:47:07.680
<v Speaker 2>these individuals up when we're talking about money and laundering

2968
02:47:07.760 --> 02:47:11.120
<v Speaker 2>and fraud and wiring and all these things. Let's keep

2969
02:47:11.159 --> 02:47:15.200
<v Speaker 2>this in mind. Omar fate a Somali American Muslim and

2970
02:47:15.319 --> 02:47:20.000
<v Speaker 2>Democrat state senator known for anti Zionist views since October seventh,

2971
02:47:20.559 --> 02:47:24.360
<v Speaker 2>lost the Minneapolis mayoral race to the incumbent, Jacob Frey,

2972
02:47:24.719 --> 02:47:28.600
<v Speaker 2>a Jewish Democrat. Local Jewish leaders say the threat passed

2973
02:47:28.639 --> 02:47:31.559
<v Speaker 2>us this time. All right, So let's continue on here.

2974
02:47:32.159 --> 02:47:35.040
<v Speaker 2>After a high profile race in which was billed as

2975
02:47:35.120 --> 02:47:40.879
<v Speaker 2>the Zoramandani of Minneapolis, that's what Omar Fatee is known as,

2976
02:47:41.040 --> 02:47:45.559
<v Speaker 2>which is terrifying anti Israeli candidate Omar Fete lost the

2977
02:47:45.559 --> 02:47:49.760
<v Speaker 2>election for mayoral race in Minneapolis, Minnesota FATA, who is

2978
02:47:49.799 --> 02:47:53.000
<v Speaker 2>thirty five, a Democrat state senator known for his anti

2979
02:47:53.079 --> 02:47:56.479
<v Speaker 2>Zionist views and harsh criticisms of Israel since the Hamas

2980
02:47:56.479 --> 02:47:59.920
<v Speaker 2>October seventh attack, was defeated by the incumbent mayor, Jake

2981
02:48:00.079 --> 02:48:02.479
<v Speaker 2>of Frey, a Jewish Democrat who has hailed the post

2982
02:48:02.520 --> 02:48:06.719
<v Speaker 2>since twenty eighteen and has now won a third term. So,

2983
02:48:06.799 --> 02:48:09.959
<v Speaker 2>your dude as a state senator and he lost the

2984
02:48:10.239 --> 02:48:13.600
<v Speaker 2>mayor race, why didn't you just continue to whatever? I

2985
02:48:13.639 --> 02:48:17.280
<v Speaker 2>don't know, I don't know. Uh. Frey led for the

2986
02:48:17.319 --> 02:48:19.680
<v Speaker 2>first count with forty one point seven percent of the

2987
02:48:19.719 --> 02:48:23.239
<v Speaker 2>vote compared to Faatea's thirty one point six percent. Because

2988
02:48:23.239 --> 02:48:26.719
<v Speaker 2>no candidate achieved an outright majority, the city's ranked choice

2989
02:48:26.760 --> 02:48:29.840
<v Speaker 2>voting system was activated, and Fray secured a majority in

2990
02:48:29.920 --> 02:48:34.079
<v Speaker 2>the third round, confirming his reelection. So, yeah, I understand

2991
02:48:34.120 --> 02:48:35.520
<v Speaker 2>there's gonna be a lot of people that are saying

2992
02:48:35.520 --> 02:48:38.239
<v Speaker 2>there's conspiracy on top of conspiracy on that one. And

2993
02:48:38.280 --> 02:48:42.319
<v Speaker 2>that's that's fine. It's fine. It's a thing. But yes,

2994
02:48:42.639 --> 02:48:45.200
<v Speaker 2>So as we were talking about this, a lot of

2995
02:48:45.479 --> 02:48:49.399
<v Speaker 2>mainstream media and legacy media are talking about this situation

2996
02:48:49.559 --> 02:48:53.879
<v Speaker 2>in the feeding our future fraud case, And I don't

2997
02:48:53.879 --> 02:48:57.479
<v Speaker 2>think it's misplaced, right, I think that this absolutely needs

2998
02:48:57.479 --> 02:49:01.200
<v Speaker 2>to be discussed and talked about to the maximum degrees.

2999
02:49:01.840 --> 02:49:05.719
<v Speaker 2>And now let's circle back to Trump talking about repealing

3000
02:49:05.760 --> 02:49:10.959
<v Speaker 2>his TPS right, the protected status on certain people, these

3001
02:49:11.000 --> 02:49:14.559
<v Speaker 2>temporary protected statuses that are going by the wayside. I

3002
02:49:14.600 --> 02:49:17.879
<v Speaker 2>don't actually believe that these seven hundred people that he's

3003
02:49:17.920 --> 02:49:21.319
<v Speaker 2>talking about with Somalia are going to make a whole

3004
02:49:21.360 --> 02:49:24.040
<v Speaker 2>lot of fucked ton of difference in the grand scheme

3005
02:49:24.079 --> 02:49:28.520
<v Speaker 2>of things. Now, whenever you have seventy six people, seventy

3006
02:49:28.559 --> 02:49:31.000
<v Speaker 2>eight people, and there's more, there's gonna be more that

3007
02:49:31.079 --> 02:49:36.040
<v Speaker 2>get brought in for this. But like, let's just hypothetically say,

3008
02:49:36.920 --> 02:49:39.479
<v Speaker 2>going off of ratios here, that all of this was

3009
02:49:39.520 --> 02:49:43.440
<v Speaker 2>being done by people on temporary status. They weren't. They weren't.

3010
02:49:43.799 --> 02:49:46.799
<v Speaker 2>Just so we're clear here, let's even say it's just

3011
02:49:46.920 --> 02:49:52.280
<v Speaker 2>seventy out of seven hundred, that's a pretty sizable chunk,

3012
02:49:53.879 --> 02:49:57.079
<v Speaker 2>Like that's that's not a little bit. And even if

3013
02:49:57.200 --> 02:50:00.000
<v Speaker 2>because as the numbers keep going up, it's not gonna

3014
02:50:00.200 --> 02:50:03.159
<v Speaker 2>be crazy to say that like probably one hundred people

3015
02:50:03.159 --> 02:50:05.120
<v Speaker 2>are going to be brought in for this. Maybe they'll

3016
02:50:05.120 --> 02:50:08.959
<v Speaker 2>see justice. Maybe they won't, but even.

3017
02:50:08.760 --> 02:50:11.159
<v Speaker 1>Still doesn't sound like it's a it's a part of

3018
02:50:11.200 --> 02:50:11.719
<v Speaker 1>the group.

3019
02:50:11.799 --> 02:50:12.600
<v Speaker 2>Though it doesn't.

3020
02:50:12.719 --> 02:50:15.239
<v Speaker 1>It doesn't sound like it's a part. It sounds like

3021
02:50:15.319 --> 02:50:19.520
<v Speaker 1>they are local people to Minnesota that I've been there

3022
02:50:19.639 --> 02:50:22.719
<v Speaker 1>for a hot minute, that are involved in many different

3023
02:50:22.760 --> 02:50:25.799
<v Speaker 1>ways that have been there, So it doesn't sound like

3024
02:50:25.840 --> 02:50:29.799
<v Speaker 1>it's involving the actual group that we're discussing about getting

3025
02:50:30.159 --> 02:50:33.319
<v Speaker 1>deep ordered back to a place that's absolutely torn up.

3026
02:50:33.600 --> 02:50:37.000
<v Speaker 2>If anything, I'm glad that the TPS conversation is happening

3027
02:50:37.040 --> 02:50:40.520
<v Speaker 2>because it's also raising people's awareness of the fraud scandal

3028
02:50:40.559 --> 02:50:42.879
<v Speaker 2>that is going on. Because most people don't know that

3029
02:50:42.879 --> 02:50:44.760
<v Speaker 2>that was going on, and this was brought up in

3030
02:50:44.799 --> 02:50:48.159
<v Speaker 2>twenty twenty, twenty twenty two, twenty twenty three. Most people

3031
02:50:48.159 --> 02:50:50.680
<v Speaker 2>may have heard something about on the evening news, they

3032
02:50:50.680 --> 02:50:52.840
<v Speaker 2>don't know the extent of it. The only reason why

3033
02:50:52.920 --> 02:50:55.319
<v Speaker 2>there's even light being shed on it right now is

3034
02:50:55.360 --> 02:50:56.959
<v Speaker 2>because of this situation with Trump.

3035
02:50:57.520 --> 02:50:59.000
<v Speaker 1>So that's fair.

3036
02:50:59.799 --> 02:51:01.159
<v Speaker 2>I'm I'm not even saying you got to take the

3037
02:51:01.200 --> 02:51:03.799
<v Speaker 2>win and the loss on that one. It is what

3038
02:51:03.840 --> 02:51:05.719
<v Speaker 2>it is. These seven hundred people, even if they do

3039
02:51:05.719 --> 02:51:09.559
<v Speaker 2>get brought back to Somalia, it's seven hundred people. Yes,

3040
02:51:09.600 --> 02:51:11.559
<v Speaker 2>I don't want anybody to go back to the war

3041
02:51:11.639 --> 02:51:14.000
<v Speaker 2>torn country except for those that deserve to go back.

3042
02:51:14.239 --> 02:51:17.079
<v Speaker 2>All these people associated with this fraud and embezzlement schemes

3043
02:51:17.319 --> 02:51:18.719
<v Speaker 2>send they ask us back.

3044
02:51:19.040 --> 02:51:22.719
<v Speaker 1>Did they actually link it with like one hundred percent

3045
02:51:22.840 --> 02:51:25.840
<v Speaker 1>with al Shabab or they just have it going to

3046
02:51:26.719 --> 02:51:30.360
<v Speaker 1>funding banks that are overseas that we can't get the

3047
02:51:30.360 --> 02:51:34.680
<v Speaker 1>money back, Like is it a confirmed link or is

3048
02:51:34.719 --> 02:51:36.959
<v Speaker 1>it a hypothetical link?

3049
02:51:37.520 --> 02:51:41.920
<v Speaker 2>So official narrative or reality narrative?

3050
02:51:43.360 --> 02:51:45.680
<v Speaker 1>It sounds like the official is that they linked it,

3051
02:51:46.079 --> 02:51:49.079
<v Speaker 1>but it doesn't sound but when we were listening, when

3052
02:51:49.079 --> 02:51:51.840
<v Speaker 1>I was listening to the articles, there's nothing that actually

3053
02:51:51.920 --> 02:51:56.319
<v Speaker 1>just expressly says they found this bank account dot dot

3054
02:51:56.799 --> 02:52:00.360
<v Speaker 1>that's linked one hundred percent to this terrorist group. It's

3055
02:52:00.360 --> 02:52:03.360
<v Speaker 1>more or less like a we think this is what's happening,

3056
02:52:03.399 --> 02:52:05.799
<v Speaker 1>and this money is unaccounted for, so we don't know

3057
02:52:05.840 --> 02:52:08.680
<v Speaker 1>where it's going and obviously it could be potentially going

3058
02:52:08.719 --> 02:52:10.200
<v Speaker 1>to al Shabab.

3059
02:52:10.959 --> 02:52:14.000
<v Speaker 2>So here all right, here, here's why I asked, are

3060
02:52:14.040 --> 02:52:18.079
<v Speaker 2>you asking for official narrative or reality? Right? So official

3061
02:52:18.159 --> 02:52:21.639
<v Speaker 2>narrative is when they wire this money overseas, it goes

3062
02:52:21.680 --> 02:52:27.600
<v Speaker 2>into a series of shell and offshore account type of things. Right, Yeah,

3063
02:52:27.639 --> 02:52:30.719
<v Speaker 2>when you go up that rabbit hole enough, you find

3064
02:52:30.760 --> 02:52:33.319
<v Speaker 2>that these offshore accounts and links and all these things

3065
02:52:33.600 --> 02:52:36.159
<v Speaker 2>are owned by al shabab it.

3066
02:52:37.079 --> 02:52:41.760
<v Speaker 1>I just was curious. Yea, to me, I do believe

3067
02:52:41.760 --> 02:52:42.680
<v Speaker 1>that they're funding them.

3068
02:52:42.719 --> 02:52:46.200
<v Speaker 2>But it's the same thing with the blood diamond situation. Right,

3069
02:52:46.719 --> 02:52:51.040
<v Speaker 2>technically speaking, was it the Deville Diamond Company or the

3070
02:52:51.479 --> 02:52:56.360
<v Speaker 2>Dubors Diamond Company whatever it is technically speaking official narrative, Oh,

3071
02:52:56.399 --> 02:53:01.120
<v Speaker 2>they totally are not funding warlords with slave mining of diamonds, clearly,

3072
02:53:01.719 --> 02:53:05.040
<v Speaker 2>but when you follow their trail of offshore accounts, they

3073
02:53:05.040 --> 02:53:09.559
<v Speaker 2>are absolutely directly involved in slave labor to mind diamonds. Right.

3074
02:53:10.079 --> 02:53:12.079
<v Speaker 1>I just wanted to clarify because I felt like somebody

3075
02:53:12.159 --> 02:53:14.200
<v Speaker 1>is going to ask that question, and I just was like,

3076
02:53:14.280 --> 02:53:16.959
<v Speaker 1>you know, I'm just for the sake of clarifying what

3077
02:53:17.079 --> 02:53:18.760
<v Speaker 1>we all kind of heard in thought.

3078
02:53:18.959 --> 02:53:22.559
<v Speaker 2>So I'll say this much, if there is realistically one

3079
02:53:22.600 --> 02:53:27.479
<v Speaker 2>point seven billion dollars that was extorted from this group,

3080
02:53:27.840 --> 02:53:30.079
<v Speaker 2>and we know for sure that at least one point

3081
02:53:30.120 --> 02:53:35.520
<v Speaker 2>one billion has made its way to a Somalia in

3082
02:53:35.559 --> 02:53:38.360
<v Speaker 2>one way, shape or form or another. Couple that with

3083
02:53:38.440 --> 02:53:41.600
<v Speaker 2>the fact that even Homeland Security is saying that Al

3084
02:53:41.639 --> 02:53:45.920
<v Speaker 2>Shabab is the most well funded terrorist organization on Earth

3085
02:53:46.000 --> 02:53:46.840
<v Speaker 2>as of this moment.

3086
02:53:48.959 --> 02:53:52.239
<v Speaker 1>I mean, obviously, I just wanted to ask the question,

3087
02:53:52.360 --> 02:53:54.200
<v Speaker 1>post the question so that way we could have a

3088
02:53:54.200 --> 02:53:55.840
<v Speaker 1>more clarifying statement on it.

3089
02:53:56.440 --> 02:53:59.479
<v Speaker 2>Absolutely, and even if it's third party, let's let's even

3090
02:53:59.520 --> 02:54:02.840
<v Speaker 2>go down that hole. Even if let's say that you know,

3091
02:54:02.879 --> 02:54:06.559
<v Speaker 2>you're a Somali, a Somali American who is here legally,

3092
02:54:06.680 --> 02:54:09.879
<v Speaker 2>you've attained your citizenship all the things, and you're sending

3093
02:54:10.879 --> 02:54:13.959
<v Speaker 2>five hundred bucks a month to your family member in

3094
02:54:14.040 --> 02:54:18.280
<v Speaker 2>Somalia right now, right, and it's truly to a family member. Okay,

3095
02:54:18.280 --> 02:54:21.600
<v Speaker 2>cool when you look at it. In the average annual

3096
02:54:21.719 --> 02:54:25.079
<v Speaker 2>salary of somebody living in Somalia is six hundred dollars,

3097
02:54:25.600 --> 02:54:28.639
<v Speaker 2>and let's say you're sending them five hundred. Keep in

3098
02:54:28.680 --> 02:54:32.719
<v Speaker 2>mind that Al Shabab extorts their people, and the street

3099
02:54:32.799 --> 02:54:35.360
<v Speaker 2>tax is imposed, and there's robbery and theft and all

3100
02:54:35.360 --> 02:54:37.920
<v Speaker 2>these things. So even if it's third party, like you're

3101
02:54:37.920 --> 02:54:39.840
<v Speaker 2>sending it to your family member, but then it's getting

3102
02:54:39.879 --> 02:54:42.000
<v Speaker 2>stolen and still ending up in the pocket of al

3103
02:54:42.040 --> 02:54:45.319
<v Speaker 2>Shabab either way that gets sliced, it's still making its

3104
02:54:45.319 --> 02:54:48.000
<v Speaker 2>way into the hands of the terrorists. And that all

3105
02:54:48.000 --> 02:54:50.959
<v Speaker 2>ties into what I believe homeland security is like suggesting

3106
02:54:51.280 --> 02:54:53.799
<v Speaker 2>whenever they say that al Shabab is the most well

3107
02:54:53.879 --> 02:54:56.360
<v Speaker 2>funded terrorist group in the world as at this moment.

3108
02:54:57.040 --> 02:55:01.120
<v Speaker 1>So okay, wild things, wild things.

3109
02:55:01.399 --> 02:55:04.120
<v Speaker 2>Yep, tax dollars are being used to fund terrorism in

3110
02:55:04.159 --> 02:55:06.799
<v Speaker 2>Africa right now, and it's a it's a self perpetuating

3111
02:55:06.840 --> 02:55:10.000
<v Speaker 2>cycle because that's the same group that is ensuring that

3112
02:55:10.040 --> 02:55:13.319
<v Speaker 2>more Somalians get their way to America, which is how

3113
02:55:13.360 --> 02:55:15.879
<v Speaker 2>we ended up with old Omar in the first place,

3114
02:55:16.319 --> 02:55:19.360
<v Speaker 2>who really needs to be removed from her position and

3115
02:55:19.399 --> 02:55:21.799
<v Speaker 2>sent back to Somalia. Like that's not even a joke

3116
02:55:22.479 --> 02:55:27.159
<v Speaker 2>mm hm, But agreed anyway, good cult members, As we

3119
02:55:30.719 --> 02:55:34.239
<v Speaker 2>thoughts on it. Was it way off base? Was it

3120
02:55:34.360 --> 02:55:37.319
<v Speaker 2>very informative? What do you think about Omar? What do

3121
02:55:37.399 --> 02:55:39.840
<v Speaker 2>you think about the Somalian nationals that are living in

3122
02:55:39.879 --> 02:55:42.799
<v Speaker 2>Minnesota right now? We want to hear from you, right

3141
02:56:25.159 --> 02:56:27.639
<v Speaker 2>they think about investing in precious metals. When we started

3142
02:56:27.639 --> 02:56:30.399
<v Speaker 2>this affiliate program, silver was a little over thirty dollars

3143
02:56:30.440 --> 02:56:33.159
<v Speaker 2>an ounce. I checked today, it's now over fifty four

3144
02:56:33.200 --> 02:56:35.000
<v Speaker 2>dollars an ounce and it hadn't even been one year

3145
02:56:35.040 --> 02:56:37.440
<v Speaker 2>since we've been with this company. That price is only

3146
02:56:37.440 --> 02:56:40.079
<v Speaker 2>going to go up. It's still affordable to get your

3147
02:56:40.079 --> 02:56:42.479
<v Speaker 2>hands on some silver and some well not gold. Gold's

3148
02:56:42.479 --> 02:56:45.479
<v Speaker 2>over like three thousand and thirty two dollars an ounce

3149
02:56:45.600 --> 02:56:48.200
<v Speaker 2>or some shit like that. Silver is still affordable while

3150
02:56:48.200 --> 02:56:49.799
<v Speaker 2>you can still get your hands on it. Now is

3151
02:56:49.840 --> 02:56:52.120
<v Speaker 2>the time to buy. Best place to get your star

3152

<v Speaker 2>we will, like I said, we want to hear from you.

3155
02:56:59.680 --> 02:57:01.680
<v Speaker 2>What do you have to say about the situation. What

3156
02:57:01.719 --> 02:57:03.360
<v Speaker 2>do you have to say about the fraud, the corruption,

3157
02:57:03.479 --> 02:57:05.440
<v Speaker 2>the abuse, all of the things that is going on

3158
02:57:05.479 --> 02:57:09.799
<v Speaker 2>in Minnesota. Do you think possibly Governor Walls is affiliated

3159
02:57:09.840 --> 02:57:12.040
<v Speaker 2>with it? Do you think maybe that's why the Democratic

3160
02:57:12.040 --> 02:57:14.879
<v Speaker 2>Party put him in with Kamala Harris and tried running

3161
02:57:14.920 --> 02:57:17.399
<v Speaker 2>them for the presidency in the VP position? What do
