Speaker 1 (00:07):
Our immigration system in this country is insane. It's suicidal,
and it's insane. Just obviously, we're going to be talking
a lot about Somalia tonight. We have great guests, Dustin
Gregy Tyler owned. They we're going to talk about so
much of this Somali network. But just think about Somalia
as a country. It's awful. Every part of it is awful.

(00:31):
It's war torn, starvation, civil wars, genocides take place there.
There is so much inbreeding in Somalia that, according to
some reports, the average IQ is considered mental retardation here

(00:51):
in America. The average IQ in Somalia is mentally retarded.
That that's a horrible place. So that of course begs
the question, how in the world did we end up
with eighty thousand of these freaking people in one state?
Eighty thousand. Well, let me go ahead and spoil it

(01:14):
for you. Losers like George Bush and Barack Obama brought
in as many of them as they possibly can, and
it always seems to work out this way. These people
don't come over here and wrap themselves in the red,
white and blue and learn the constitution and serve the
country and better their communities no, like they all do.

(01:35):
They come over here and take a steaming dump on
the place. Ilhan Omar isn't the exception, She's the norm.

Speaker 2 (01:43):
These people are just idiots. I really, you know, I'm
at the point where it's become really hard to have
an intellectual debate with any of these people because the
level of stupidity that they are displaying every single day
is frankly embarrassing, not just in Congress but as Americans.
And the fact that these people are allowed to say

(02:05):
just the most ridiculous things tells you that the dumbing
of the United States has arrived, because how else do
we get Trump presidency again? And so the idea that
this is a white nation that needs to be preserved
is a fascinatingly disgusting view because this country is one

(02:31):
for the many. I would say our country should be
more fearful of white men across our country because they
are actually causing most of the deaths within this country.

Speaker 1 (02:49):
Why is that person still here forgetting about in Congress?
What country in the history of the world would allow
people to come here, immediately start crapping on the place,
strip her citizenship, and send her back to the land
of idiocies she comes from. But we don't do that

(03:10):
in this country because we have the most bonkers, suicidal,
freaking policies on immigration I've ever heard of in my
entire life. Dustin Greggy is about to drop a bomb
of information on you and me about the fraud in
the Somali community. Just get ready, Go ahead and take
your blood pressure medication now, all right, we'll talk to

(03:31):
Dustin next. I hate the large mobile companies Verizon AT
and T and T Mobile. And it's not that I
hate them because of their service. You know, the phones
weren't fine, the calls some get dropped. I understand that.
I hate when big corporations take my money and use

(03:55):
it against my culture and my country. You remember the
Saint George Floyd pro tests. Have you looked up your
mobile company and saw what they did during all that.
I just got so disgusted with corporate America back then.
It's a huge reason why I switched to pure Talk.
Pure Talk's on the same towers, so I'm not asking
you to sacrifice coverage. Pure talk is veteran led, patriot led.

(04:17):
They don't give to communist street animals. Pure talk gives
back to veterans when they give back, and right now,
when you switch, you save fifty percent off your first month,
keep your phone, keep your number. Pure talk always makes
it easy. Go to puretalk dot com slash jessetv.

Speaker 3 (04:42):
Dozens of people of East African descent have been charged, convicted,
and sentenced for stealing more than a billion dollars in
taxpayer money from government programs during COVID. Do you take
responsibility for failing to stop this fraud in your state?

Speaker 4 (04:59):
Well, certainly I take responsibility for putting people in jail.
Governors don't get to just talk theoretically, we have to
solve problems. And I will note it's not just Somali's.
Minnesota is a generous state. Minnesota is a prosperous days,
a well run state or triple A bond rated. But
that attracts criminals. There's a reason Minnesota ranks as the
top lowest childhood poverty, best place for children to live.

(05:21):
People are taking advantage that they're going to prison. That
is totally disconnected with demonizing an entire group of people
who came here fleeing civil war and created a vibrant
community that makes Minnesota in this country better. But that's
Donald Trump deflect, demonizes, come up with no solutions. He's
not going to help fix anything. On fraud, my god,
there's a big difference between fraud and corruption, and corruption

(05:43):
is something he knows about.

Speaker 1 (05:46):
I think my favorite part of that whole little spiel
was the people of East African descent, the way these
people just have to try to maneuver around things. Joining
me now, Dustin Greggy, wonderful columnists town hall dot com.
Who knows who's forgotten more about this stuff than I
will ever know. So that's an I'm gonna hand the
floor over to you. Because I don't live in Minnesota.

(06:08):
I've spent some time there fishing, of course, like every
other red blooded American. But like most Americans, I'm looking
on in horror at a news story every day about
some Somali fraud ring or rape or robbery. What's going on?

Speaker 5 (06:23):
I all very good questions, and you know, we'll try
to uncovered as much as we can here in the
short time we got. But just to start, I mean,
that video is just so on brand of Tim Walls,
just the gas lighting time after time after time. And
you know, the amazing part of all of this is
ever since l Arufo report dropped showing that like, hey,

(06:44):
this might go to al Shabab terrorists with the funding
and the fraud and all these different things. The incredible part,
Jesse is this has been covered since like twenty sixteen,
twenty eighteen, and the fraud really the initial red flag
started in twenty fourteen. So that's going all the way
back to a program we call SECAP, which is a
child assistance program, so parents who have low income who

(07:07):
might not be able to afford childcare, they can contribute
a little bit to those daycare fees to send your
kids to school so you can go to work. That's
kind of the whole point of it. Well, early on
we found out this is where Somali fraud starts. We're
putting up daycares with fake billing, of fake amount of
time kids being there, and we're coming up with fake

(07:30):
names on top of that. All incandescent with how feeing
our future was set up with these fake names and
everything that was happening in twenty twenty, you know, almost
a decade later, but it all started in twenty fourteen,
and they caught onto that pretty quick. The way it
was all set up back then, we had a pretty
you know, balanced legislature despite having governor control for Democrats

(07:54):
and the AG's officite, you know, respectably. You know, there
was still split legislative already, so we were able to
catch some of that. Go to twenty eighteen, you're going
to actually start to see whistleblowers come out saying, hey,
this funding might be going to the Horn of Africa
to fund El schabap. This started in twenty eighteen. None
of this is new. We're just finding out about it

(08:17):
because Tim Walls was put onto the national stage being
picked as Kamala Harris's VP candidate, and really a lot
of the reasons the only reason you guys know my
name and why I'm on the show frequently is to
cover Tim Walls and all of this crap that has
been avoided for so many years. Now it's the greatest
Thik gift that's ever happened in Minnesota's because now we

(08:38):
have a real opportunity to actually get Republican control in
this state for the first time. But yeah, none of
this stuff is new. It's just now being developed and
covered now, which is great, and we really do appreciate
all the coverage so we can actually bring change to
this state. But that's kind of covering a little bit
of like, you know, the original history, but you know,

(08:59):
how did it stay hidden? You know beyond this first
the first layer I want to pull back on this onion,
which we've covered on the show here before, is the
clan wars, which is incredible. But there are Somali clans
and they have brought that culture over to America. When
these all these other schemes start coming out and it

(09:21):
floods into politics, it floods into the fraud, it floods
into family dynamics, you might actually be surprised to find
that most of these whistleblowers coming forward are actually Somali's
exposing a lot of the Somali fraud. They're going to
the House Broad and Oversight Committee run by Republicans, reporting

(09:43):
the fraud that they've seen or they know about because
they've heard about it through the grape brind But they're
afraid to come forward themselves because their families are part
of a certain clan and it might make them look
bad or their family them if they come out publicly
on some of this stuff. So you're actually having these
clan wars come into play and this floods into politics

(10:03):
as well. You'll have candidates run as Republicans in the
Somali community because you know their values in many cases
do align with us in many regards. But you'll have
the Democrat powerhouse clans run by Ilhan Omar and Omar
Fatae who ran for Minneapolis mayor, who are kind of
the ones actually in office. They're kind of fighting back

(10:26):
and forth throughout all of this, which is incredible. So
that's one layer on why so much of this is hidden.
The second layer of that is the local media itself.
I could tell you that since this tim Wall stuff
has broken out a lot of time, you know, they're
used to working with me as an operative as a
communications staffer. Now I'm kind of out of that field

(10:46):
right now. I'm just kind of covering stuff as a
journalist at this point and a commentator. But they're letting
me know, Wow, we just appreciate that your platform blew up.
Because now when we run into an issue we want
to cover in our newsroom, but our newsroom staff shut
down the projects before we can report on them. We
just give the information to you and you tweet it

(11:08):
out and you continue the story from there. Or you
bring it to these whistleblower committees in the Republican House
Committee where they're covering fraud, and we're actually able to
continue the story from there. That didn't exist before, none
of this did. Now we're able to put this information
out and guys like you, I'm going to be going

(11:28):
on with Scott Jennings here after we covered on Laura
Ingram a couple nights in a row here as well.
Now the stuff's blowing up and we're able to DM
Chris Rufo and go, hey, here's these whistleblowers on Twitter
coming out, and then we're just able to amplify these stories,
which is incredible. This stuff just didn't exist before, but
now it does, and we can actually go deeper into

(11:50):
this stuff and uncover the fraud. And of course a
dynamic that more people are familiar with as obviously Democrats
basically complicitcy. You will have instances of feeding our preacher.
So this is in twenty twenty when it really started
to amplify. You had a state government that, after a

(12:15):
long time staying on their hands, eventually attempted stop payments.
It was quickly shut down because you had Senator Omar
Fatah and city councilman Jamal Osman, who also recently just
came out this week saying it's racist to question the
Smali community throughout all of this, but he himself actually

(12:37):
turned over a dormant nonprofit that was meant to feed
children to two other fraudsters that went on to commit
thirteen million dollars in food fraud in the fener Future scandal.
This is a city councilman elected by Democrats and he's
a part of the fraud too. And before that, his
wife actually had a nonprofit that ended up getting shut

(12:59):
down by Key Ellison as a fraudulent shell organization. So
we have two instances of this. But he's saying it's
racist to question any of this, but he's literally a
part of the fraud, and they're covering him right now
on these mainstream news stations. But thankfully we get to
come out here and go, well, by the way, Osmond,

(13:19):
you're actually a part of that. And they actually came
out and celebrated with Amy Bach, the head henchman behind
feeing our creature, the one white lady in the whole
entire process. The other seventy six are of East African descent,
which is going to be the countries of Somalia, Somaliland, Kenya,
and Ethiopia. Those are the all encompassing, but it's mostly

(13:43):
just Somalia. They end up saying it's racist. You got
to stop these payments. They did because they used all
of their authority on the Council in the State Senate,
in the State House with all of these pushings and
they stopped the stop payments. And Tim Walls then gets
to come back and go, well, we can actually go

(14:05):
through your bank accounts and this is a way we
can kind of get around that stop payment issue. We
can subpoena the bank records and find out where this
money's going. They willingly chose not to because all of
these advocates that are on the Council in the Senate,
in the House, we're telling Tim Walls, we're going to
go after you and we're going to call you a
racist if you continue on with that. So now we

(14:27):
have Tim Walls complacent and complicit in this entire process
saying on his hands we had to wait till the
Feds to come in. Then they really don't even start
until twenty twenty two, right ahead of the next election.
But of course we have a complicit media and we
don't have voices to actually amplify this on the national stage,
and therefore they all swing to re election once again.

(14:49):
Now we are actually in a slightly different position. We're
exposing this on the national stage and we might have
a fighting chance now in twenty twenty four. So we're
actually leveling the playing field. But an unfortun I do
have to mention this as well. Part of it to
do is just simply put lazy Republicans, not complicit Republicans,
but lazy Republicans. Because I'll tell you one instance here

(15:11):
that we just broke today. My Senator, Senator Michael Holmstrom.
He's been on the jump for two weeks. That's it.
We ended up going to the Hennepin County Courthouse after
a news story had broke that of the one state
case brought in throughout all this process, there was a

(15:33):
seven point two million dollar medicaid fraud scheme run out
of a peel box. The jury came back after four
hours of deliberation only and said this guy's guilty case closed.
Guess what. The judge appointed by Governor Mark Dayton, the
Democrat before Walls overturns the case in an unprecedented decision,

(15:56):
so we have a unanimous jury decision overturn. So into
the job, not even a week into the job, we
end up going actually out there and looking into the
case because RUFO report had just gone out. I was
just on Ingram and we're like, let's dig into this thing.
Let's see how you know rock soaid this was maybe
there's a reason she actually threw this thing not and

(16:16):
reversed it. But unfortunately, Jesse I fear the worst. She
wasn't bribed, she wasn't threatened, but this is just who
she is, which is just insane because we looked back
at some of her other case files and she had
taken a violent criminal conviction and overturned that one. And

(16:37):
this individual, guess what went in on to commit a
mass shooting in Hennepin County. So I just fear this
is who she is. Unfortunately, but we went through and
we went hours into the courthouse and were turned away,
not given a reason on why we couldn't see exhibits
in this case where in the public record only simply

(16:59):
showed So there's an undisclosed amount of money sent to
an undisclosed foreign country sent to an undisclosed individual. Well,
could this be a large sum of money sent to
the Horn of Africa to fund terrorism? We can't find
out because we can't get a hold of the records.
So we end up calling for several more hours after

(17:20):
that and are told the case is sealed. Only such
judge Sarah Wes can unseal them, the judge who overturned
the conviction. So we end up going forward. We send
out several request email, phone, voicemail, as well as next
day delivery notification from the Senator's office saying we need

(17:42):
these files. We finally hear back, not because of the
official request we sent through the Senator's office, who will
be on the Judiciary Committee, a major committee that's going
to oversee their courthouse and their funding. By the way,
but they found out because people naturally recovering the story
and they read the letter on social media after it
hit millions of views. That's how they ended up seeing it.

(18:03):
So we let them know if we don't see these documents,
we will be suing you. So not tough written letters,
but actual real action. We have now just been informed
today this morning that those instances and those exhibits of
the undisclosed money being sent overseas will be released to us,

(18:23):
and if we receive those, those will be coming out
publicly here soon. But throughout that process, a lot of
Republicans were telling us to sit on our hands, and hey,
you've only been on the job for a couple of weeks.
You should really just sit back and learn the ropes.
And this really isn't even that big of a story.
Let the journalists handle it. Well, that's how we're in
this situation.

Speaker 1 (18:43):
Guys.

Speaker 5 (18:44):
We're not covering it because we're writing into these newsrooms.
We're writing the Somali clan wars and complicit democrats. We
have to actually get out there and cover this stuff
and expose it. So that's really the path forward. We
just have to be tougher on this, and we have
to use the resources at our disposal actually go out
there and get the national media coverage cover it so

(19:05):
it becomes stories that cannot be ignored anymore. And that's
just simply put how it has to actually go. But
you know, at the root of all this, it is
Somali fraud. So let's take into the numbers here a
little bit poverty in the Somali community in Minnesota fifty
eight percent, food stamps forty two percent, unemployment rate forty percent.

(19:28):
We're in the single digits for everyone else in Minnesota.
No high school education forty one percent, and at least
one billion dollars lost to fraud. But hey, they pay
a little bit under seventy to seventy million dollars in
taxes annually.

Speaker 1 (19:49):
Dustin, what's your Obviously there's a lot that still has
to be uncovered. What's your interpretation on just how involved
in this Tim wa Do you think Tim Walls look
the other way actively participated. What's your impression of the
Walls involvement?

Speaker 5 (20:11):
To put it simply, I don't think he's smart enough
to actually get involved in the terms of like actually
being I mean, that'd be given way too much credit. Jessie.
I'm just saying this guy is a knucklehead after all.
But I do believe that this man changes with every season,
and if you go back to his career in the

(20:31):
year two thousand, I mean, this guy has just changed
year after year, cycle after cycle to adapt to what
he thinks is going to make himself more electable. So
early on, he was kind of a you know quote
unquote a blue dog Democrat, a moderate, and he progressively
got more and more progressive as the years went on,

(20:51):
up to the point of we're gonna kill babies after
they're born and not give them medical protections right as
he's about to run for governor. Then he completely flips.
He's going to be this ultra progressive superstar at this point,
and then the rest is kind of history.

Speaker 3 (21:08):
There.

Speaker 5 (21:08):
He's been going further and further to the left on
these issues, but ultimately, at the end of the day,
Tim Walls it out for Tim Walls. I mean, that's
just simply put what it is. And when you see
multiple statewide elections come within one percentage point of winning
Minnesota last cycle in twenty twenty two, and this is
before all of the media exposure, all of the different

(21:31):
tools Republicans now have at our disposal. In the state
of Minnesota, we had two come within one percentage point.
We're talking about less than ten thousand votes. There's one
hundred thousand plus Somalis in Minnesota. Are you going to
be the one that actually disrupts this voter base that
does vote predominantly for you. It doesn't mean all of
them do still plenty of Somalies or Republican. They have

(21:54):
many conservative social you know, belief systems, and those individuals
do vote Republicans sometimes, but in mass majority of the
time they do vote Democrat, in particular in Minneapolis, Saint Paul,
the Twin Cities region. Now there's some more conservative Somalis
out in the Saint Cloud area in central Minnesota, where

(22:14):
I kind of rain from, and that's kind of where
my political career started as a field office director out there.
But at the end of the day, this is a
Democrat stronghold community and they're ultimately the reason why he
and others are in office right now because of those
very slim margins at the statewide.

Speaker 1 (22:32):
Level dustin this fraud, and I realized there's plenty of
fraud uncovered plenty to speak about. I am curious. Are
these first generation Somali's second generations Smilies, I mean Smalies
didn't start getting to this country until the nineties. Who
are these people?

Speaker 5 (22:51):
So good question and a very important one on the
path forward in my opinion. So in nineteen ninety one,
we had civil war breaking out in the Horn of
African Somalia, Somaliland. You know that that debate on there
si Bar the socialist dictator who, by the way, ilhan Omar,
her father was a leading colonel for his army in

(23:15):
the socialist regime that committed genocide. Frankly, not to put
it lightly, that is when they first started coming over,
because you know, you're just truly at war. You know,
goodwill Americans want to bring you in, Lutheran services, Catholic services, etc.
You know, those first generation, and many of them are
pretty good people who wanted to make a life here,

(23:38):
and they quickly you know, translated American to Somali in
written and verbal formats, started to try to build culture
here and try to assimilate. But at the end of
the day, I think a lot of that falls on
Republicans for not initially getting involved in that community right away,
because now it's just Democrats. They really didn't help them

(24:00):
assimilate in any way. It pushed Republicans further against them
and Democrats more for them. And now Democrats have a
monopoly on this community and they frankly like it that
they're not assimilating because in many cases they don't speak
the language. But Democrats have millions of dollars and also
a lot of their reps are Somali, they speak the language,

(24:23):
they can go canvas in these neighborhoods, and went over
their votes much much easier, despite some of their culture
actually being relatively conservative. And then you have Barack Obama
and George Bush sending more Somalies over so in a
stage where normally, oh, they've been here for a while,
they've had kids, they're speaking English because they went to
American high schools and middle schools. We're restarting the clock

(24:47):
constantly as we bring in more and more new Somalis.
So normally where maybe things might have leveled out and
we're having some assimilation actually occur, we're restarting the clock constantly.
And that's how we get these numbers of almost like
upward to sixty percent in poverty, and we wonder why
there's a problem here. We refuse to actually fix the problem.

(25:11):
And that is why the Trump administration frankly does need
to use every tool at their disposal to denaturalize and
deport as many Somalis as we can that have not
followed the law. Because if you are a Somali who
came here legally and you want to do all the
good things cool, that's great. We want you here. If

(25:31):
you are someone who came here illegally, and you know,
quite frankly statistically, if you did that illegally, there's no
saying on the other crimes you're probably committing in the process,
you probably need to go home.

Speaker 1 (25:46):
Dustin, What is your take on how many illegals there
are in that community? Obviously the legals are well documented,
as you already pointed out, George Bush, Barack Obama. I
got that. But when people think about illegal immigration, they
generally don't think about Somalia, being as how it's a
little bit far away, but they're coming here illegally.

Speaker 5 (26:09):
In many cases, we are finding that due to new
investigations research through Christinome and Cash Battel and the different
agencies right now in the Trump administration. In one case,
Operation Shield came to the Twin Cities. I think they investigated, like,
you know, eight hundred or so, and I might be

(26:30):
off on that number a little bit stupid math. Eight
hundred to a thousand. Let's say they found in half
of those cases verifiable fraud occurring on their applications. So
in the instances we've investigated so far, which you know,
relatively small, you know, one to one hundredth of the number.

(26:52):
Half of them were illegal, you know, in terms of
how their applications were set up, how they worked with
Lutheran and Catholic services to come over here, the sponsors
that they used. They found that half, okay, half of
the cases they've investigated so far were in fact illegal.
So and we wonder why over half of them are

(27:14):
in poverty right now. It's because they're not employed, and
they're probably in many cases going back to these tactics
from you know, strengders survived being in a war torn country,
constantly in fight or flight and just going, wow, we
have this amazing safety net in Minnesota. I could just
use that and live a nice, happy life and be

(27:37):
way better than I was in Somalia. And I don't
even have to work.

Speaker 1 (27:44):
What a frigging world. Good grief, Dustin, as always, thank
you brother f un loading on us. I appreciate it.
That was disheartening. I knew it was bad. That's actually
worse than I thought. Tyler O'Neil knows a bit about
this as well. We'll talk to him next. I got

(28:08):
an email yesterday from a seventy year old man. He
was thanking me, which shouldn't be thanking me. He's thanking
me because, hey, Jesse, I finally took your advice and
I started working out and taking chalk and he said,
and I quote, I feel like I could kick through
a brick wall. I look great, I feel great, and

(28:29):
my wife loves it. So thank you. I love getting
these emails. I get them from men, I get them
from women. Natural herbal supplements from Chalk can change your
entire life. Do you want to feel so much better
at work? In a better mood, more energy, more focused
when you get home from work, when you get home

(28:50):
from school, do you want to feel like doing something
instead of feeling like plopping down on the couch and
just doing nothing because you're so wiped and asked all
the time. Is chalk is the way? Natural herbal supplements
from Chalk. I have been taking a male Vitality stack

(29:10):
for three years, three years actually four years by now
four years. I've been taking a male vitality stack from Chalk.
I feel so freaking good. Chalk dot com, slash Jesse TV.

Speaker 6 (29:29):
And they contribute nothing. The welfare is like eighty eight percent.
They contribute nothing. I don't want them in our country.
I'll be honest with you. Okay, somebod would say, oh,
that's not politically correct. I don't care. I don't want
them in our country. Their country is no good for
a reason. Their country stinks, and we don't want them
in our country. I can say that about other countries too.

(29:52):
I can say that about other countries too.

Speaker 1 (29:54):
We don't want them to help. We got to.

Speaker 6 (29:56):
We have to rebuild our country. You know, our countries
at a temper point, we could go bad. We're at
a tipping point. I don't know if people mind me
saying that, but I'm saying it. We could go one
way or the other, and we're going to go the
wrong way if we keep taking in garbage into our country.
Elan Omar is garbage. She's garbage. Her friends are garbage.

(30:19):
These are people that work. These aren't people that say,
let's go, come on, let's make this place great. These
are people that do nothing but complain. They complain, and
from where they came from, they got nothing. You know,
if they came from paradise and they said, this isn't paradise,
but when they come from hell and they complain and

(30:41):
do nothing. But we don't want them in our country.
Let them go back to where they came from and
fix it.

Speaker 1 (30:52):
You got to admire the fact that he doesn't mince words.
Joining me now, Tyler O'Neill, senior editor at The Daily Signal,
either just how fraudulent is the Somali community in this country.

Speaker 7 (31:07):
I mean, so many of the stories we're hearing out
of Minnesota are just so egregious, and it stands somewhat
to reason. I mean, I wouldn't say exactly what Trump said,
partially because I know that there are some Somalis who
are also whistleblowers engaged in calling out some of the
corruption here. But we're talking about a country in West

(31:28):
Africa that is well known, well associated with piracy, that
has fallen apart in civil war, that has abused its
people for a very long period of time. And your
heart has to go out to some of these people.
But at the same time, we don't want to bring
their pathologies here to the United States of America, and
that is unfortunately what we're seeing now. Granted, all the

(31:51):
people involved in these scandals represent a small portion of
the Somali community, but if you look at the feeding
our future scandal in Minnesota. You'll see how many of
these defendants are Somali. And these people aren't just the
ones who are charged. People are pleading guilty, people are
being convicted, people are being given prison sentences for this

(32:14):
massive fraud. And the woman who set up the NGO
is a white woman, but most of the other defendants
are Somali's and it really, you know, it really raises
important questions. And I think America is a powerful melting pot.
We have a proud history in this country of assimilation

(32:36):
for different immigrant groups. You know, many of my ancestors
are Irish and came in There were all those no
Irish need apply signs. There was a really hard time
that Irish people faced before we finally were accepted as
part of American society. And yet you know, mostly the
Irish assimilated. What we're seeing here in Minnesota is on

(32:58):
a large scale, the Somali community is not assimilating to
the degree that we need in our country. And it's
really not assimilating to the degree that they need to
maintain their welfare state in the state of Minnesota, because
this is the kind of thing. You cannot have a
Scandinavian style welfare state and open borders. It just does

(33:21):
not work. You need a level of trust in the
society that cannot be broached. And what we're seeing here
is on a tremendous scale, the abuse of that welfare state.
And I think this is a huge wake up call.
It needs to be a wake up call not just
to the Democratic farmer labor leaders in Minnesota, but it

(33:44):
also is a wake up call to the entire leftist
establishment and the leftist worldview that says we need a
massive welfare state and open borders. I can tell you
what happens when you have both of those policies, and
it's what's happening in Minnesota right now.

Speaker 1 (34:02):
Tyler. You mentioned the Irish and they eventually assimilated. I mean,
the Italians assimilated. We had Jewish neighborhoods assimilated, but the
Somalis have not. Why. What is the reason? Why did
others find a way to assimilate? And there are several
in the Somali community in this country who don't even
speak English frankly, not even attempting to do so. Why.

Speaker 7 (34:27):
Yeah, I think there are many reasons for that. The
Somali community there in Minnesota is there are areas that
are essentially all Somali, very high percentages, so they create
these essentially ghettos. But there's also another aspect of this,
and that is the radical Islam connection. And I want

(34:48):
to be very careful here because I don't believe that
Islam itself is incompatible with American freedom. I know a
lot of patriotic Muslims who you know, and I'm not
a Muslim, so I don't know what the true version
of Islam is. I think a lot of us, a
lot of especially evangelical Christians like myself, tend to look
at the Qoran and see passages in the Koran that

(35:11):
advocate for violence and say the real type of Islam
is the oldest type of Islam. I think that's misunderstanding
Islam because Islam is a religion of law where you
have many different emams, and it matters which Emam you're
listening to. But so many cases, especially in the Somali
community there in Minnesota and Minneapolis, you get these mosques

(35:34):
where these emams are preaching the older form of Islam,
that very noxious type of Islam that supports radical Islamic
terrorism and that supports, you know, the opposition to American freedom,
and so we have to be careful. I don't believe
that every Muslim is a threat to this country. I

(35:54):
know many great patriotic Muslims, but we cannot ignore the
cons between the Somali community in Minnesota and terrorist groups
like Al Shabab. Many of these fraud scandals, if you
trace the money, some of the money is being sent
back to Somalia to support the terrorist group Al Shabab.

(36:16):
This is something that now is being investigated by the
federal government to verify all of these claims. This is
something that Chris Rufo did a lot of digging and
connected the dots. There are many people on the ground
in Minnesota who've been following these fraud scandals for a while,
and they've been finding these connections and we've known, I mean,
the FBI had been working and to some degree, the

(36:39):
Somali community worked with the FBI in response to some
of these connections. So again, this is not something where
every single Somali in Minnesota or even in Minneapolis is suspect,
but this community has former ties to terrorism, has some
ties now that we need to be looking at. This

(37:00):
is you know, this is really a heartbreaking scandal. Because
it underscores not just the failure to assimilate of this group,
but also some of the radical strains in Islam that
do pose a threat to America. And I think we
need to be clear that radical Islam, that the ideology

(37:21):
that says that interprets jihad as a violent struggle to
take control politically is a threat to our country and
has not ceased to be here in the United States.

Speaker 1 (37:35):
Tyler, what was the Arabella Advisors network?

Speaker 6 (37:39):
Oh?

Speaker 7 (37:39):
Yes, So Arabella Advisors always told me that they were
not a network. It was a for profit Yes, exactly
that That's how I react too. It was a for
profit company that did a lot of services for various
nonprofits that just so happened to essentially have been created
by this for profit entity. So you know, that raises

(38:02):
all sorts of questions. But Arabella Advisors was a central
hub of the left's dark money network, as I discussed
in my book that woke to Post the dark money cable,
manipulating the federal government many of these NGOs. So, so
the way that it works, and you know, you have
you have the story up there, what exactly just happened?
This is this was a big announcement last month where

(38:23):
Arabella just said we're no longer existing. We've sent our
some of our services, some of our contracts, our work
we did to a new entity called Sunflower Services. And
then there was yet a third entity that was propped
up where the CEO of Arabella went there. And they're
all sorts of interesting questions, like if you look at Virginia,

(38:46):
you know, I went to the records in Virginia of
businesses and they said in their records that the entity
formerly known as Arabella was now going by a different name,
and it was the name of this new firm created
by the ce of Arabella Advisors, And so this raises questions.
What we saw in the news release was saying that

(39:07):
many of the five oh one c three nonprofits groups
like New Venture Fund, which takes the lead in this,
and these, by the way, are nonprofits that directed money
to leftist activist groups that sent staff and policy into
the Biden administration. So these are very powerful leaders on
the left. They get a lot of money and they

(39:28):
send it into these activist groups, They prop up new
activist groups for specific causes, and essentially, you know what
critics say is these entities exist to enable donors to
prop up causes without those donors being tied to the
specific actions that they want to support, and so that

(39:49):
that is the dark money aspect here. Arabella ceased to exist,
but the entities that you know, the nonprofits that are
engaging in all this political activists, they very much continue
to exist. So New Venture Fund still exists, and now
New Venture Fund is a majority shareholder and majority investor

(40:10):
in this new entity, Sunflower Services. But not all of
the nonprofits that worked with Arabella Advisors are with Sunflower Services.
Only the ones that are five oh one C three
nonprofits are the C fours, which are regulated differently by
the IRS and can endorse political candidates and can tell

(40:31):
you to go vote in a specific way. These C
four organizations are not tied to Sunflower Services. And I've
been asking them where they are tied to, because I
think this is a very big question. Nobody has responded
to me, and that's interesting. I reach out to New
Venture Fund and they're saying, oh, yeah, we're proud to
work with Sunflower Services. I reach out to another fund

(40:53):
and they're like, yeah, we're proud to I reach out
to the five oh one C fours crickets, and there's
a real question. And you know, I think a lot
of this has to do with Arabella Advisors being called
out by the right, by you know, people like Scott Walter,
who had a wonderful book about Arabella Advisors. I'd like
to take a little bit of credit with my book

(41:14):
as well in testimony on Capitol Hill, where many of
us in conservative media have been calling out what the
Arabella Network had been doing. And now that President Trump,
there's a new sheriff in town, and he's looking at
the funding sources of the left, and he's specifically looking
at any sort of ties between the left's dark money

(41:36):
network and Antifa, and I think it's going to be
hard for him to establish things because these guys are
very smart at covering their tracks. So even if and
I don't have evidence that the left dark money network
is funding Antifa, but what I do know is that
if they are, they're going to cover their tracks in
every way that they possibly can. So, you know, hats

(41:58):
off to President Trump wanting to investigate this, but this
looks like a defensive move for this network to be
separating itself into five oh one C three and five
oh one C four sides so that it doesn't fall
on the wrong side of the irs.

Speaker 1 (42:16):
Absolutely fascinating stuff. Tyler and Tyler did write a great book,
by the way, Woke to Puss. I would highly recommend it.
Final thoughts, thanks. Heartburn sucks. You ever go You ever
have that, And I'll be honest with you. I went
to community college. I don't know the difference between heartburn

(42:37):
and indigestion, right, but I know that it sucks. It's
all uncomfortable, and it's and forty four. Now. I used to
be able to just deep whatever, give me all the
jalapenos and I'd be fine. Now I get it, well,
I used to get it. I discovered through a friend
Cowboy Colosstrum, actually my sister, as a matter of just

(43:00):
telling me, it's the best. It's the best. It's the best.
Your gut will work better. I didn't necessarily believe it,
but I started putting a couple of scoops in my
coffee every morning. Mine's chocolate delicious, by the way, so
I have a cup of chocolate coffee in the morning.
I don't remember the last time I had heartburn. It's gone.
My gut just works well. You have got problems, maybe

(43:22):
a little heartburn. Yeah, I suggest you give it a shot.
Cowboycolostrum dot com code JESSETV. We have to start monitoring
the imports in this country. First, we have to start
deporting a lot of these people. We have to have

(43:43):
the resolve to get them out. There's no need to
ever import people from Somalia like ever. That should not
be a thing that happens. Let's get the ones we
have here out and let's in the future care enough
about our country to mine who comes into the country.
Just a reminder, as we've said many times before, it's

(44:05):
the ultimate patriotism test, because you care about who gets
access to things you actually love. If you think everyone
should come in, you don't love it. You monitor who
comes into your home. Don't you get them out? And
my goodness, stop bringing them here. All right, we'll do
it again.
