00:06:22.000Hey guys, welcome to another massive, some would say huge episode of Triggered.
00:06:28.000We've got a lot to cover today from historic immigration numbers that the fake news does not want you to see to absolute chaos in Minnesota, where journalists are being hunted by the leftist mobs.
00:06:41.000And at the end of the show, I want to pay tribute to a friend, a patriot, and someone who really understood what was happening in this country, honestly, before almost anyone else did.
00:06:54.000Scott Adams, who passed away earlier this week.
00:07:16.000Remember, if you missed the show here on Rumble, go over to Apple, go over to Spotify Podcasts.
00:07:21.000We put it up there after we do the show here.

00:07:59.000The Trump administration is moving fast to right all of the left's wrongs.
00:08:05.000But with all the damage we've seen the Democrats do, it's always smart to be prepared.
00:08:10.000And that's why thousands of Americans are buying gold now from the Birch Gold Group.
00:08:16.000In the past 12 months, the value of gold has increased by 30%.
00:08:21.000And Birch Gold makes it extremely easy to convert an existing IRA or 401k into a tax-sheltered IRA in physical gold.
00:08:31.000Or you can even buy some gold to store in your home safe.

00:09:08.000First, check out all the latest predictions on Polymarket.
00:09:13.000So if you follow politics, you know everyone's got an opinion.
00:09:16.000But on Polymarket, you actually get real odds on what's likely to happen.
00:09:20.000Polymarket is a prediction market where people trade on real events, elections, debates, policy moves, and it doesn't stop at politics.
00:09:30.000There are markets on the economies, tech, sports, pop culture, and so much more.
00:09:35.000It's all live, it's transparent, and it gives you a real-time indicator of what people really think is going to happen.
00:09:43.000So go give it a look at polymarket.com, check it out, and let me know what you think.
00:09:48.000And now, let's get into all of the top headlines.
00:09:52.000Let's start with an absolutely historic number that the media is trying to bury.
00:09:58.000For the first time, for the first time in almost 50 years, let that sink in, 50 years, half a century, the United States has experienced negative net migration.
00:10:11.000Okay, more people leaving than coming.
00:10:14.000And the people leaving are the ones we definitely want leaving.
00:10:50.000We're also going to revoke the citizenship of any naturalized immigrant from Somalia or anywhere else who is convicted of defrauding our citizens.
00:10:59.000We're going to get them the hell out of here, Fed.
00:11:05.000And if you come to America to rob Americans, we're throwing you in jail and we're sending you back to the place from where you came.
00:12:00.000My father actually did something about it.
00:12:03.000The Brookings Institution, not exactly a right-wing think tank, by the way, estimates that net migration was somewhere between negative 10,000 and negative 295,000 in 2025.
00:12:47.000And at the same time, guys, shockingly, shockingly, with the net migration being negative, crime nationwide is plummeting thanks to the historic work under Kash Patel's FBI.
00:13:00.000Just so we're clear, a 20% drop, 20% in national murder rate compared to Biden, a new historic low, with 2025 projected to see the largest one-year drop ever recorded in murders.
00:14:52.000As part of those efforts at Davos, next week I'm going to provide much more detail about our housing policies so that every American who wants to own a home will be able to afford one.
00:15:04.000We have some great things happening with housing.
00:15:06.000As you know, you saw the $200 billion buy-in on bonds and mortgages.
00:15:11.000This will include a ban on large institutional investors buying up single-family homes all over the country and making it impossible for people to buy home.
00:15:22.000And I've also announced that the U.S. government is purchasing $200 billion of mortgage bonds to bring down mortgage rates, and it's had a huge impact.
00:15:57.000You've seen the media defending the rioters.
00:16:00.000But what you might not have seen is what these leftist mobs are doing to journalists, journalists who actually dare to do their job and maybe cover some of their leftist violence.
00:16:13.000I mean, you know, I know there's not a lot of guys that will do it, but they're out there.
00:16:18.000He was on the show last week, maybe two weeks ago now.
00:16:21.000Independent journalist Nick Sordor was covering the chaos in Minneapolis when a mob surrounded his vehicle, smashed his windows, spray painted his truck, and repeatedly threatened to kill him and his colleague, Cam Higby.
00:16:39.000Watch this. Oh, wow. Oh, my God. Oh, my God. Oh, my God. Oh, my God. Yes.
00:20:32.000This is what Democrat leadership looks like.
00:20:35.000The police are told to stand down while journalists are attacked in the streets.
00:20:42.000One of the leftist militants refused to understand is the more you harass, threaten, and try to kill independent journalists, the more they're going to expose you.
00:21:01.000And neither is Nick Shirley, who was on our show again two weeks ago, or any of the other brave voices out there investigating these stories on the ground.
00:21:11.000They're doing the job of what, you know, the mainstream journalists are supposed to be doing but would refuse because it doesn't go along with the narrative.
00:21:18.000But as violence against ICE and real journalists gets worse in Minnesota, the media and Democrats still want you to believe that it's ICE that's the problem and not the out-of-control lunatic leftists that are destroying Minneapolis.
00:21:37.000If there were neighbors and others who came out to help this person, that is just an example of Minnesota being a place where we help our neighbors.
00:21:47.000And we are clear that the ICE agents have been coming here and there's over 2,000 of them.
00:21:55.000And they've been attacking and terrorizing our state.
00:21:59.000So yes, neighbors will come out and be helpful.
00:22:01.000I'm not certain if they had brooms or shovel that is to be further investigated.
00:22:09.000If they did, in fact, have some sort of weapons to use to attack the ICE officer, would that change your opinion of whatever unfolded next?
00:22:24.000Because from our vantage point, we wanted to make sure and always wanted to make sure that Minnesotans are being dealt with properly.
00:22:31.000And when we think in terms of any pursuit or any apprehension of anyone, there's a way for you to do your work where it's respectful and it's fair.
00:22:40.000We unfortunately have seen ICE not be respectful, not be fair, but to be illegal and to attack and to be very aggressive with Minnesotans.
00:22:51.000And to see that the federal government has made a decision to attack and send more and more agents here and allow them to be allow them to misbehave.
00:23:05.000We think that's a tragedy and a travesty.
00:23:08.000Thanks to incredible work by investigative journalist Nick Shirley, whose viral video exposed massive amounts of fraud in Minnesota's daycare programs, we now have a fuller scope of what was happening under Tim Waltz's watch.
00:23:24.000Remember, Tim Waltz could have been the vice president of the United States.
00:23:32.000I can't come up with any other conclusion than he was clearly in on all of this.
00:23:37.000Federal prosecutors estimate that criminals in Minnesota have stolen an estimated $9 billion, okay, billion with a B, billion, $9 billion in taxpayer funds.
00:24:12.000As state lawmakers, state lawmakers testified before the House Oversight Committee in Washington, D.C., 90%, 90% of the individuals charged in the Feeding Our Future fraud alone are of Somali descent.
00:24:29.000And some of that money, there's evidence.
00:24:32.000It was being funneled through Halawa networks to al-Shabaab, the largest al-Qaeda affiliate in Somalia.
00:25:39.000We have been sounding the alarm on this fraud now for years, and no one in the Minnesota media, well, I should say almost no one, would even bother to report on it.
00:25:48.000Our U.S. Attorney's Office estimates the fraud, Trace, could be as high as $9 billion.
00:25:54.000It's not just daycare centers, it's autism centers, it's housing stabilization funds.
00:26:00.000We've got the largest pandemic fraud case, a quarter of a billion dollars in the country.
00:26:05.000And this has all been under Tim Walt's watch.
00:26:07.000And to show you just how disingenuous this guy is, two weeks ago, he created a new position for someone to investigate fraud because the headline in our worthless local paper was, Tim Walz is trying to get ahead of the fraud.
00:26:27.000You put on an HHS person who pointed out this money is being stolen from people that need it, children, disabled, single mothers, and it's being shipped to al-Shabaab terrorists in Somalia.
00:26:39.000Tim Walz needs to be held accountable.
00:27:14.000But in Minnesota, if you talk about fraud going to terrorist networks, you're retaliated against as a whistleblower.
00:27:21.000They said that Tim Waltz and Attorney General Keith Ellison were protecting fraudsters instead of investigating them.
00:27:30.000Secretary of Treasury Scott Besson said it perfectly when he visited Minneapolis last week.
00:27:37.000Under Democrat Governor Tim Waltz, welfare fraud has spiraled out of control.
00:27:43.000Billions of dollars intended to feed hungry children, house disabled seniors, and provide services for children in need were instead diverted to benefit Somali fraud rings.
00:28:28.000Based on the evidence, it looks like there were essentially votes in exchange for looking the other way while billions were stolen from hardworking American taxpayers.
00:29:54.000That's why I said the transportation is the hub of really, I think, all of this.
00:29:58.000So basically, what we're talking about between all these fraudulent businesses, the daycare, the autism centers, the adult daycare, the home services, and then the transportation.
00:30:05.000And then on top of that, you have it looped in with them going eventually to the doctors for translators to be paid by the state.
00:30:14.000Now, beyond Minnesota, we have our own little communist experiment underway in New York City with the new mayor there, Zoran Mandani.
00:30:25.000This guy is a member of the Democratic Socialists of America.
00:30:31.000He stood up at his inauguration and said, and I quote, we will replace the frigidity of rugged individualism with the warmth of collectivism.
00:30:42.000You know, rugged individualism, that's like freedom and, you know, the American way of life.
00:31:28.000I think that United States public policy has done a really, really, really good job of pitting cash poor homeowners and working class homeowners and middle class homeowners against renters.
00:31:39.000And we need to figure out how to navigate that as organizers.
00:31:45.000Because like, yes, Blackstone is a bigger and worse target than like, you know, Mrs. Smith, who owns 15 buildings.
00:31:54.000But Mrs. Smith, who owns 15 buildings, still like kind of sucks and has a lot more stability than renters.
00:32:02.000And there's more of them than there are of the Blackstones.
00:32:05.000And so it's just like this challenging dynamic that white middle class homeowners are a huge problem for our renter justice movement.
00:32:16.000She called home ownership white supremacy.
00:32:20.000She said she wants to seize private property.
00:32:23.000She wants to shrink the value of real estate.
00:32:26.000Okay, you know, most people, if they own their home, that's a big, big, big portion of their net worth, their life savings, their life's work, and what they can ultimately leave to their children, the American dream.
00:32:37.000She wants to shrink the value of real estate.
00:32:41.000And she's deleted her X account because even she knows how insane this looks.
00:33:02.000And now they're going to learn what happens when you put a communist in charge of the greatest city in America.
00:33:10.000Now, before we go, I want to take a moment to remember someone special.
00:33:16.000Scott Adams, the creator of Dilibert and one of the most insightful political commentators of our time, who passed away this week at the age of 68 after a battle with cancer.
00:33:31.000Scott was one of the first people to understand what was happening with my father's political movement back in 2015.
00:33:40.000Before anyone else got it, he understood it.
00:34:46.000Whenever I talk about this simulation, and especially when I talk about my own impending death, many of my Christian friends and Christian followers say to me, Scott, you still have time.
00:36:26.000I am now convinced that the risk reward is completely smart.
00:36:33.000If it turns out that there's nothing there, I've lost nothing.
00:36:37.000But I've respected your wishes, and I like doing that.
00:36:41.000If it turns out there is something there, and the Christian model is the closest to it, I win.
00:36:49.000So with your permission, I promise you that I will convert.
00:36:57.000Scott understood persuasion probably better than anyone else.
00:37:02.000He understood when my father spoke and when the media would mock him for it, what real Americans actually heard, what they got out of it, what everyone refused to listen to.
