00:00:00.000 How much of this you think Tim Walz knew is happening?
00:00:05.200 Oh, he's known about it.
00:00:06.280 That's why he's saying fraud's been happening for years.
00:00:08.560 He literally knows that fraud has been happening. 1.00
00:00:10.840 Like, he is so stupid. 1.00
00:00:12.420 Like, he knows it's happening. 1.00
00:00:13.900 If someone's stealing money from me, and if I'm giving them money,
00:00:17.320 and they're going to do something with it, what am I going to do?
00:00:19.480 I'm going to stop giving them money.
00:00:21.200 He's enabled and continued to let this fraud happen,
00:00:23.400 and so is everybody else inside of that Capitol building,
00:00:25.780 because they're the ones writing the checks.
00:00:28.160 Yeah, Rob, is this the clip?
00:00:29.420 Because this kind of brings me to a complete different thing
00:00:32.180 that I'd like some people to look into.
00:00:34.020 Rob, is this him talking about that he knows fraud is happening?
00:00:36.600 In 2019, yep.
00:00:37.720 This is a 2019 clip.
00:00:39.340 Yep.
00:00:39.640 Okay, go for it.
00:00:40.240 Six years ago.
00:00:40.880 I want to be clear that the Legislative Auditor Report gave us a clear path.
00:00:45.680 It told us that we could do better, and just like Menlar's, 0.99
00:00:48.280 I now own that, and I own the fix for that.
00:00:50.840 But I do want to be clear, before we take some other questions on this,
00:00:54.240 that what needs to stop is a demonization of one community involved in this.
00:00:59.520 What needs to stop is an absolutely unproven storyline that continues to resurface on the House floor
00:01:07.020 that this money went to terrorists, and it's targeted at one group of our citizens here, of Minnesotans.
00:01:14.940 We'll own that this thing needs to be fixed.
00:01:17.520 We'll own that there were problems in this.
00:01:19.380 We will own that there are fixes, and we think we proposed the right amount,
00:01:22.860 but we're open to that to try and close this.
00:01:26.200 But again, I am not going to allow folks to use this as a hammer against a group of people.
00:01:32.880 Okay, so he's not going to allow to use this as a hammer.
00:01:36.940 Okay, so then the next question is, how do you think he'd benefit from it?
00:01:40.900 Not just election-wise, but do you think he'd benefit from it financially?
00:01:44.120 How do you think he'd benefit from it?
00:01:45.480 There has to be some sort of incentive where he's benefiting from it,
00:01:48.420 whether it be he's actually receiving money or obviously the votes,
00:01:54.700 but he has to have some sort of incentive to allow this to happen.
00:01:57.160 Maybe he's getting somebody else rich,
00:01:58.580 and then he's then getting money to funnel for his next campaign, whatnot.
00:02:03.000 That's kind of how I even had a mayor in California tell me once that
00:02:05.820 that's why there's so many nonprofits is because they create these nonprofits,
00:02:08.920 and then that money can go back to funneling somebody else's campaign.
00:02:12.340 So Tim Waltz, he's probably receiving some sort of benefits.
00:02:15.320 I know he's been to China a lot, Tim Waltz.
00:02:17.620 He's actually not even from Minnesota.
00:02:19.840 He was born in Nebraska.
00:02:21.940 I don't even know if he owns a home in Minnesota.
00:02:24.140 I don't think he actually physically owns a home in Minnesota.
00:02:27.000 He lives in the governor's mansion.
00:02:28.900 But lots of really strange things underneath Tim Waltz.
00:02:32.800 And why would it take, Pat, if you're giving somebody millions of dollars
00:02:38.020 and you notice that millions of dollars are going to places where they shouldn't be,
00:02:41.980 how many years do you think it would take for you to solve that issue?
00:02:45.240 Six months, three to six months.
00:02:47.260 You'd put the entire team behind it because you want to be able to gain credibility
00:02:51.000 that we're addressing this issue and it cannot continue.
00:02:54.360 So he's had six years.
00:02:55.600 And then 2023, he says, we're going to, he's either 2023, I think he said, we're going to give them a raise.
00:03:02.080 We're going to give the child care a raise in Minnesota.
00:03:05.040 Yeah, this, this is a little weird because the one thing when, when Kamala Harris was choosing the VP and, you know,
00:03:13.300 is it going to be Newsom?
00:03:14.320 Newsom rejected it.
00:03:15.520 Is it going to be Josh Shapiro?
00:03:16.840 They're not comfortable that he was Jewish and that, you know, he had some stuff,
00:03:20.520 skeletons in the closet from a previous friend that he protected.
00:03:23.340 They claimed that was the reason, right?
00:03:25.240 And Josh is not a fan of Kamala Harris.
00:03:27.360 Nobody in a million years thought it was going to be a guy named Tim Walz.
00:03:30.200 But here's what happened, Rob.
00:03:31.300 If you want to pull this up, when they announced Tim Walz, what's weird is 24 hours after announcing Tim Walz,
00:03:38.480 a record-breaking $36 million went into the campaign.
00:03:44.260 It was a record-breaking thing that happened.
00:03:46.600 Whoa.
00:03:47.320 I don't know if you knew this or not.
00:03:48.500 Harris's campaign raises $36 million in 24 hours after announcing Walz as running mate.
00:03:54.980 Where that money came from, of course, someone can investigate this.
00:03:58.640 And they said this was a record-breaking number.
00:04:01.260 Who is Tim Walz?
00:04:02.060 It's not like it's a massive name.
00:04:03.940 Where is that money coming from?
00:04:05.600 You know, we don't, we don't know who this individual was to be able to get this kind of money,
00:04:09.800 but it gets people to question where this money came from.
00:04:12.480 Yeah, 100%.
00:04:13.380 That's kind of goes back to my point that they'll start these organizations or start these daycares
00:04:17.540 and then they can just get all this money tax-free and then they can funnel it wherever they want.
00:04:23.040 Yeah, so that is the part where how is he winning from doing this?
00:04:27.600 Then there's also some people that were speculating, saying, you know, Tim Walz getting in.
00:04:32.680 This is such a big issue nationwide with Democrats in different places.
00:04:37.380 I even saw one that said Pennsylvania is also another place they're looking into.
00:04:41.700 If this becomes a national thing on the Democratic side for fraud, this is not just bad for Tim Walz.
00:04:50.440 This is bad for everybody.
00:04:52.460 Yesterday, Scott Jennings on CNN.
00:04:53.900 I don't know if you saw this exchange between Scott Jennings and Dear Abby.
00:04:57.040 Yeah.
00:04:57.280 Did you see that exchange?
00:04:58.160 Rob, if you want to play this clip, it was Scott doing his typical thing,
00:05:03.540 which is, you know, destroying everybody on that show and, you know, the CEO of CNN.
00:05:08.120 Rob, if you want to play this clip real quick, watch this exchange, folks.
00:05:10.480 Why is it that right now everything seems to be about whether or not the people involved here are Somali,
00:05:17.400 even though one of the biggest people who were involved in one of these frauds was not Somali at all?
00:05:24.640 She was a white woman. 0.99
00:05:26.240 So respond to that.
00:05:28.620 Doesn't that disprove everything he just argued?
00:05:30.620 Well, they're obviously rounding up everybody who is involved in fraud.
00:05:36.120 No, they're not rounding up everybody.
00:05:37.900 They're all talking about Somalis. 0.98
00:05:39.140 That's the point.
00:05:39.840 I want them to round up anyone who is involved in defrauding American taxpayers of what apparently amounts to $9 billion in a very, very small state.
00:05:52.580 Somali, whether they're citizens, immigrants, white, I don't care. 1.00
00:05:56.560 You don't care if they target one community?
00:05:58.100 I want the fraud to stop.
00:05:59.360 But do you support the targeting of this one community or not?
00:06:02.480 Do you think that's the right thing to do?
00:06:03.620 I support the targeting of people engaged in fraud.
00:06:06.300 But do you support the targeting of the Somali American community if they are engaged in fraud?
00:06:12.960 That's not what he said.
00:06:14.160 That's it.
00:06:14.740 That is precisely what he said.
00:06:16.000 If data says it's the case, who cares?
00:06:20.040 Keep playing it.
00:06:21.220 Should that make them immune?
00:06:22.780 That's a straw man argument.
00:06:24.260 No.
00:06:24.600 Just answer the question.
00:06:25.720 I did.
00:06:26.180 I want anyone involved in fraud to be targeted.
00:06:28.620 Anyone involved in fraud.
00:06:29.600 But not based on their ethnicity.
00:06:31.080 I want it based on whether they're involved in fraud.
00:06:32.740 Is it really so hard to answer that question, Scott?
00:06:34.720 Is it so hard to sit there and say we shouldn't target people based on their ethnicity?
00:06:39.020 The only criteria I have is fraud.
00:06:41.160 Can you say we shouldn't target people based on their ethnicity?
00:06:43.120 Can you say that?
00:06:43.420 I can say that.
00:06:44.120 Can you say that?
00:06:44.980 I can say that.
00:06:45.480 Absolutely.
00:06:46.060 Everyone here can say, can you say people based on their ethnicity is bad?
00:06:50.100 You shouldn't target people.
00:06:51.040 Scott Jennings won't say that.
00:06:52.240 Why won't you say that, Scott?
00:06:53.100 Because I don't agree that that's what's happening.
00:06:55.080 I don't agree with your fallacy. 1.00
00:06:56.600 I don't agree with your stupidness. 1.00
00:06:57.880 You've heard from the... 1.00
00:06:58.560 Scott, I don't.
00:06:59.580 There's another clip on this one, right?
00:07:02.660 There's another clip where he is just going at it with Abby.
00:07:05.820 It's an exchange between the two of them.
00:07:07.540 But finally, these types of conversations, is this the one?
00:07:10.860 I think, no, that's not...
00:07:12.280 There's one that he's going with Abby back and forth, and it's a very, very strong exchange
00:07:17.560 that they have.
00:07:18.180 The point is, at this point, is this the one?
00:07:22.220 This is where they talk about Tim Waltz claiming that fraud was a white supremacy.
00:07:27.780 Yeah, this is the one.
00:07:28.520 Go ahead.
00:07:28.860 It's Democrats who have put Somali diaspora in Minneapolis at the center of their party
00:07:35.360 and their state's politics.
00:07:36.720 It's a small portion of the population.
00:07:38.960 There is a bunch of fraud that goes on.
00:07:41.480 And even Tim Walz has claimed that any investigation of this fraud is akin to white supremacy, which 0.96
00:07:47.300 is a ridiculous allegation. 0.75
00:07:47.740 No, he has not claimed that. 0.95
00:07:49.020 He has not said that.
00:07:49.980 He has said that.
00:07:50.740 He has not said that.
00:07:52.100 This is what happens when your own federal government wages war against you.
00:07:55.980 This is what happens when they target communities for their own benefit.
00:07:59.440 This is what happens when they scapegoat.
00:08:01.640 And this is what happens when they no longer hide the idea of white supremacy.
00:08:05.800 The idea of white supremacy.
00:08:07.520 The idea of white supremacy. 0.56
00:08:09.600 The idea of white supremacy.
00:08:11.200 See, this is why you can't do things like that today.
00:08:14.160 There's a 17-year-old kid that's a great editor that knows how to take it, find it.
00:08:18.420 And he has all the time in the world, dear Abby.
00:08:20.160 You can't say stuff like that with CNN anymore.
00:08:22.520 You can't.
00:08:23.020 Someone like a 23-year-old Nick Shirley that's fearless with courage is going to come and
00:08:27.520 say, let me investigate this a little bit more if this is true or not, if he ever
00:08:30.640 said this or not.
00:08:31.400 Go ahead.
00:08:32.000 Yeah, Tim Walz said it himself.
00:08:33.380 He called me and everybody else a white supremacist.
00:08:36.100 Yeah, yeah. 0.54
00:08:37.280 For simply just caring about fraud.
00:08:39.040 Yeah.
00:08:39.440 And that's why he's allowed fraud to happen, because he's so scared of being called
00:08:42.940 a racist, being called an Islamophobe, and for saying things for what they are.
00:08:48.000 That fraud is fraud. 0.95
00:08:49.340 It's a fact that the Somali population inside Minnesota are committing 89% of the fraud. 1.00
00:08:55.020 89% of the fraud in Minnesota is coming from Somalis. 0.98
00:08:58.220 Yes.
00:08:59.160 I mean, what does that do to you?
00:09:01.940 I'm Nick Shirley, and you guys can find me here on Manect.
00:09:04.200 Go ahead and ask me any questions, whether it be about politics, about what I believe,
00:09:08.340 or where I think the future of the country will be going, or just, quite frankly, anything.
00:09:12.700 You can ask me here on Manect.
00:09:14.420 I really appreciate all your support, and I can't wait to answer your questions.
