Congratulations for being a part of an all time record of how long it took me to get into the studio today. I apologize for nothing. There was a ton of content to research and get to. This one is worth watching. Remember the couple who were killed by a hitman in Minnesota? Let's explore the massive Somalian fraud. Do you know about this? I'm sure some of you do. Maybe more of you do than I think. Do you remember that husband and wife that got killed in Minnesota and it was a professional hit? Did you know she was the only Democrat to vote against the continued funding of the Somali child care stuff? So it's looking like they killed her, you know, for, for, for being against what's all coming out up now. This is a Check the news. Worth watching and worth sharing. Thank you for waiting. Let's check the news. One fraudulent business in Minnesota that misspelled learning. They're not even trying. This place is supposed to be a daycare. Look at it. It has no windows. And I mean, in Somalia, I'm sure that passes a daycare, but in Somalia, I'm sure it passes the State Department and it spelled learing center instead of learning center, and no one ever caught it. Now, here, bring it back to me real quick. This is a very frustrating, irritating thing. You have CBS News, NBC News, ABC News, Fox News, New York Times, Washington Post, L.A. times, whatever. Whatever paper record there is in Minneapolis St. Paul. And you got to have this YouTuber discover this, you know? And the Republicans acting like they're in on it. Nobody did anything except this kid. Roll it.
C
Here in Minnesota, massive fraud is taking place within the government.
A
Pause. Look at him. Him. This guy did everything. So I don't want to see freaking Cash Patel with his googly eyes and his FBI cosplay jacket pretending like they busted this. You all did nothing. And I'm telling you, man, I would love to get ambushed by some reporter from CNN or whatever. Oh, I left all them out. Cnn, didn't I? Cnn, msnbc. Where are you? Cnbc. This would constitute a financial story. I would love. I would love to get ambush reported by mainstream news. Well, on my way to my jet, like the Kenneth Copeland or whatever. I would love to have you do it. Because we're not going to talk about jets. We're not going to talk about extravagant church Christmas plays. We're going to talk about how you don't know what the hell you're doing and you're a useless person. It will not end the way you think. Play from the beginning.
C
Here in Minnesota, massive fraud is taking place within the government and the Somali population here. This building alone, Quality Learning center is a daycare. Yet they spelled learning wrong and they said learning. This daycare alone in 2025, has received $1.9 million from the government.
A
The stranger, 1.9 million just that year. I'm guessing it wasn't reinvested into the daycare. Look at that place. I don't think you're allowed to have a building with no windows, are you? If it's not like a CIA black site for interrogation, dropping your kids off. You know, the good news is no kids were actually dropped off there. Continue.
C
Things about these child care centers is there's no one here right now. It's midday on a weekday in. You were to try to go inside. It's completely closed and the windows are all blacked out.
A
What's up, Mata?
C
No one's working midday. Children should be in here. And this place is licensed for 99 children. And this Is the outside. There's no windows, no nothing. And like I said, they literally spelled the word wrong on their sign. Pause this.
A
I'm telling you, man, I wish. I wish there was like a call in. But of course, that's why they don't do it. I wish there was a call in show for some Minneapolis news. I would call. I promise you, I would call tonight. Get through. You know, did any of you ever, in your investigative reporting, all this stupid Channel 5 on your side, you never saw this continue.
C
Is open and blatant fraud taking place here inside of Minnesota. The government is complicit with this. And this is just one of the hundreds of child daycare centers here inside of Minneapolis being ran by the Somali population. It's sad that it's happening here in Minnesota and it stinks that it's happening and it's being labeled on the Somali population. However, that's just the facts of what's happening here inside of Minnesota. $1.9 million for this daycare center that can't even spell learning right.
A
Everything that is wrong with the world.
E
Is because of you.
A
Next. This dude has done far more useful journalism than any of the winners of the 20. Any of the winners of the Pulitzer Prize. How about any. Anybody, period, that's employed in mainstream media? I mean, they never broke the Epstein files. They're useless. Acting like they're journalists. We're here with Channel 5 where we found a laundromat that isn't giving full refunds as promised. Hey, great work. Here's the full 42 minutes of my crew and I exposing Minnesota fraud. I'm not going to play all 42 minutes. I'm going to play five minutes. I would like to watch all 42 minutes, but we'll play five and then at least now you have the his. His X handle so you can get a hold of it. Roll it.
C
Hello, we'd like to ask where the money's going. What do you guys think about the fraud that's taking place here in Minnesota?
D
I don't think anybody is enabling fraud to happen.
A
Hold Governor Walls accountable for this.
E
What was this money spent on? 1.269.
A
Pause.
E
What was that?
A
Hey, quit the yelling. Grimace telling you when you see those fat Somali chicks in the purple burkas, they look like Grimace converted to Islam from. Can we get a picture of Grimace after this from McDonald's? Keep going.
E
There aren't any kids.
C
Answer the question. Are there children? There's no children inside this building.
A
Leave or what? Pause. I'm telling you these guys that are going in to investigate this in Minnesota and you have these Somali guys come out telling, get out of here. Right now. They weigh like 115. I wish it was the 80s. Keep going.
C
Odd scandal in US history is taking place in Minnesota as literally billions of dollars have been funneled through Somal Iran fraudulent businesses. So much fraud, it could actually almost replace the entire GDP of Somalia. These fraudsters have worked hand in hand with the Minnesota government as they enabled billions of dollars to be given to fraudulent businesses underneath welfare purposes. Some of this money eventually landed in the hands of terrorist groups in Somalia like the Al Shabaab and others enriched themselves all at the US Taxpayers expense. And in this video, we will break down all of the fraud from start to finish, from going to the fraudulent businesses and confronting the people who are making millions of dollars from the government. And we will also be confronting the incompetent government government leaders who let this fraud happen. And to make this happen, I met up with a man who's backing up.
A
That lady, yelling at him for asking questions. She. She's a government worker. Back it up to that lady.
C
Million dollars from the government. And we will also be confronting the incompetent government leaders.
A
Pause. Look at her. She's got the same hairline as Rob Dibble. Can we get a picture of Rob Dibble? Relief picture for the Cincinnati Reds? Keep going.
C
And to make this happen, I met up with a man who's been doing his own investigation for years now as he has seen the fraud firsthand. His name is David. Let's get into this and be prepared to be shocked. How deep is this fraud here inside of Minnesota?
E
It is far worse than anybody can imagine. You heard it's 7 to 10 billion and maybe more. And now the numbers have been revised and put out there publicly that they think it's more like 8 billion. How I got involved, is that where my office is here in Minneapolis? I'm sort of in the heart of all of this fraud.
A
I see you, Ken.
E
I would see these childcare centers. I said, well, there are any kids there? It's the middle of the day and all I see are a couple of guys standing out front smoking. And then I'd go by another daycare and I'd see the same thing. I said, well, where do these kids play? And so I started to go online.
A
And look and I wait, where's your kids daycare? You know, where all those Somali warlords are smoking every day? And that cinder block building with no windows that says leering center, that's where I send.
E
You said this place is licensed for 80 children. They had zero children. Every time I went by there, they never had a single child there. Then I started to see all these transportation.
A
They had zero children because it's a Somali daycare. They're all married with their own kids. Hey, where's all the six year olds? They're married. Keep going.
E
Companies going around. And it was always a Somali driver. And I said, well, that's great. They're out there. Transportation contributing, but they never had a passenger. Never ever.
A
Oh man.
E
And I said, well, what is all this transportation Church. What are they doing? So then I found out that in Minnesota they have something called non emergency medical transportation. So this is going to the dentist's office, therapy, whatever it might be. And I said, well, how many of these companies are there? And the research came back that there are 10, 20 of them. More than 800 of them are Somali owned. Nobody from the state of Minnesota ever cross checks to see if any rides were ever actually provided. All they did was write the check.
A
Nobody cross checks it. See, even the people that discover it are kind of stupid. Like this guy still doesn't get that it wasn't like an oversight, that it was a fun. It was a funded criminal activity with money. Where they gave the money to think of this now, and I'm sure a lot of you already know this, but listen to this. You work, they take your taxes, they give it to this daycare money. You earned that away from your family. They give it to the Somali daycares. The Somali daycares are then required to make large donations to the politicians that got him the money. Now what's the difference? Let me ask you a question. What's the difference if I take a gun and hold it to your head and make you give me your money and then give it to someone else who then gives it to me or if I run for office, get elected and pass laws that take your money from you to give to me to give to someone else who's going to give back to me. That's what they do. It's robbery. It's not like you. I don't want anyone to listen to this and just be like, man, that's, that's unethical. They stole from you to enrich themselves. Money. Divorces happen because it, because of it. Number one cause for divorce, Stress. Number in the home. Number one source of stress in the home. Finances. Time apart. Husband working a job or wife working a job. Kids dropped off at daycare. So that they can take your money and do this. Why do you think the politicians are making minimal salaries and their net worth is in is seven or eight figures? Some nine figures. It's this.

C
So right here we have all this paperwork and how are you getting all this information about the fraud?
E
A lot of it is through my own research and then I have some contacts at the Capitol going back many, many years. And so the data that I'm getting is 100% accurate, coming directly from research done by people at the state Capitol.
C
All this paperwork right here. What are we looking at?
E
The areas of fraud that I have numbers for are mostly related to child care. This is massive fraud that is beyond anyone's imagination. The scope. And so for example, there's a child care not far from here in Minneapolis that has two childcares listed at the same address. And together they're licensed, supposedly for 120 children. I have never seen a single child there ever. And I've been by that place at least 100 times.
A
Epstein island had more young kids than. Than all of the Minnesota daycares. Sad for two reasons. If I'm not careful, I'm going to watch this whole thing. But I want to watch one of the five minutes. I'm very interested in this. I'm getting more interested. I know one of this thing. How many views did it hit? Is it over 10 million or over 100 million. Views? 126 million views. That's going to make it hard to get this to go away. And it, you know, it's not like it's the Epstein files where it's past stuff. And it's also, it also doesn't have the high degree of intellectual, intellectual people protecting the people that the Epstein files did. You know, these are just morons in local government like Tim Walls. And Tim Walls would be one of the smarter ones because he made it to governor. So I got a feeling that this is going to go sideways quick as, as incompetent, as incompetent as the FBI has been. And Pam Bondi. I don't want to say the Department of Justice, because I love Harmeet Dhillon. I really think even with all the ineptitude in the Republican Party, this is still. There's going to be major trouble here, especially with that murder. Keep going.
C
Somalians. These groups are setting up these daycares, these child care centers, getting money from the government, but there's no kids.
E
No kids. Never had any of them. They're all fraught with violations. And even though they have these violations, they're still in operation and they're still getting money. And it's millions of dollars for every one of them every year.
C
And who's getting the money and where are they getting the money from?
E
So we have a thing called ccap.
A
It's a blast federal, Cynthia said. And no mainstream media is reporting on except Fox. And I want to be clear, Fox is reporting on what he reported on. They didn't break the story. They do nothing. Nobody. Nobody had anything. Fox shouldn't get any credit. The FBI and Department of justice and I don't want to hear Mike. Whatever. Mike Johnson, you know where we have got a task force. Yeah. Where have you been? This didn't. This didn't start in the spring. This started before COVID Keep going.
E
And state money. The bottom line is it's taxpayer money, so it's state money and it's federal money. And the problem is the people at the state of Minnesota are the ones writing the checks. This is kind of the maddening thing is you have daycare, so you have adult daycare, and then you have child care, and then you have health care and a lot of the same.
A
Sorry to keep interrupting. I really feel like Elon Musk buying Twitter and making it X is the biggest thing that happened this century. Does any of this get reported? If he didn't buy X, there would have been nowhere to upload this stuff. YouTube would have taken it down. Twitter would have taken it down. Facebook would have taken it down. There would have been. This never would have got out. We are. We should thank God every day for the miracle that he gave us. Like multifaceted miracle. There was. Savannah Hernandez was shut down. All these independent journalists could not post their stuff. Continue.
E
Names keep coming up on all of these different types of businesses. And then, of course, we have the transportation. And a lot of those same names appear, a lot of the same addresses. There's one building that has 14 Somali healthcare companies at the same address. There's another building in St. Paul that has 22 Somali healthcare businesses at the same address.
C
And the government knows about this.
E
The government knows. They're writing the checks. Yeah, the Democrats over there writing. Just writing the checks. What has happened is that the Somali community is a very closed community. They will not speak to anyone outside the community and talk about what's going on within the community. They vote as a bloc. And so when you're a politician, you're saying, Look, I've got 100,000 people in Minnesota that if I do something for the community, they're going to vote for me. And that's what it's all about, is getting the votes. And then the people here in Minnesota year this term. Minnesota, nice. I'm so sick of that term. The people here are so afraid of being called a racist or an Islamophobe, and they're just. They're afraid of their own shadow. And I don't understand. This is. Our future generations are going to have to pay for all this fraud, and they just want to bury their heads in the sand and go on and just not worry about it. Tim Wall is saying there's organized crime in Minnesota. What did he do about it? Nothing. You got organized crime. What do you. What are you doing? This is the Minnesota law which mandates that anyone who knows of fraud and as a state employee, must report that fraud. It's Minnesota Statute 3.971 Subdivision 9. Not only that, but Walls is also guilty of misconduct of a public employee. When I look at the world as whole and I look at fraud, the Twin Cities is ground zero. The fraud is worse here than anywhere else ever in history anywhere.
C
We're gonna go in front of these people, we're gonna. To these daycare centers. We're see what's actually happening.
E
Okay? So we have to be careful because these people are very violent. They're exceptionally violent.
C
Now with all of these, you don't.
A
Have to be careful.
C
We headed out to the streets of Minneapolis to see how much fraud we could uncover and where. One afternoon. Where are we going now?
E
We're going to a place called Mako Child Care, which actually has another child care registered at the same address called Mini Child Care Center.
C
So we should see lots of children if there's this child care center, especially if there's two.
E
The two of them combined are licensed for 120.
C
And how much money have these child care centers received?
E
None of those vans have moved in six months. None of them in 2020. One of them received 1.3 million in 2021. They got 987,000 in 2022. They got 714,000. That's the last I have for that one. And then the other one, 1.604 million in fiscal year 2025. Fiscal year 2024, they got about 800,020. Fiscal year 2023, they got $904,059. This place right here?
C
Yes, we're outside of it.
E
Well, this is actually. Two daycares are registered here, boss.
A
One of Barb said Jonathan just let you know the 20 minute plus intro for check the news has kept my family and friends from watching. Check the news. New people to your show don't understand or know that eventually you come on. So they think I'm crazy for watching such depressing news because they never get past the intro. Barb, I want to apologize that you have such stupid friends and family. Continue.
E
Them is Mako, which you see on this sign. The other one is mini childcare center. And between the two of these childcare centers, they're pulling in about $3 million a year. And there are no children. Every facility that you go to, the windows will be blocked out, so you can't see in. There's nobody here. You won't see a single child at any of these facilities.
C
There are indeed no windows. All the windows are blacked out right here. All right, let's go in. And the child care center is locked. Should we ring the doorbell? Try to get in. Rang the doorbell, nobody showed up. They're open seven days a week, 7am to 10pm it says here on their sign. Yet there's absolutely nobody here. And this building here, right here has generated millions of dollars. And it seems like business isn't even open right now. And it's a weekday. And if this was a daycare center, wouldn't it just be in some industrialized building? There would be maybe like a playground.
E
Or something outside or there's no play area for the kids. So where are the kids? Where's anybody? How can there be nobody here? And it's like this every single day. I've never seen a single child here in nine years. I've never seen a single child at this building right there.
C
Oh, then now it looks like we already got the Somalis coming.
A
And what, there's three of them?
C
So what is this your daycare?
E
No. Can you tell us why there are no children? Have you ever seen children at this child care center? I'm not sure. I don't.
C
Doesn't know if she's ever seen a child here. All right, let's go to the next Location now we're going to the next daycare center. How much money has this one generated?
E
This one? In fiscal year 2025, 14259 in fiscal year 2024, $1,059,078.
A
Somebody said, and it's true that they brought at one of them, they brought 20 such kids today. Like they showed up with a ton of kids at one of the center. Here's where they're, you know, I want you to write this in the comments. Even though I'm not teaching. The COVID up is worse than the crime. Remember that the COVID up's worse than the crime. Where you get into real trouble with the law is not making a mistake, for example on your taxes. If you make a mistake, there's, there's, they can fine you. But where you get into like prison is purposely hiding income that you have in an account in the Caribbean or whatever. When you make an effort to conceal, that's when you get into the real prison time and stuff. So what's going to happen now if they're going to try to pretend all of a sudden that these are functioning daycares? Daycares have to keep logs. You can't have daycare with anonymous students and private, private enrollment. So when they ask for it and they fraudulently, I'm telling you, they're going to start cooking records and writing stuff in and making mistakes. They're going to have nine year olds with birthdays in the 1980s. That's where you're going to get into the serious trouble. No one's going to do it. But the wise thing, the wise thing would just be to say we're guilty. But you're going to try to make yourself not guilty. And that's, that's where the real problem is going to come. Keep going.
E
Fiscal year 2023 $727,336.
C
Next one is literally one block away. And this one's also generated nearly $3 million in the past three years. Let's see if there's any children. Let's see if any of the buildings are open. Here we go. All right, we've arrived to ABC Learning Center. All the windows are blacked out. Let's see if anybody is here.

A
Welcome back to Check the News.
C
This door is locked.
E
This facility is licensed for 40 children. Zero children. I come by this place a hundred times. I've never seen a child here ever. The only thing I've ever seen is someone standing outside smoking.
C
What's crazy about this is that last daycare center is that green building right?
A
Can I talk to Chad? GPT. Hey, do do daycares in Minnesota Are they required to keep detailed logs of who the of what children attend there, what their names are and detailed enrollment and if so, what are the general laws concerning that?
B
In Minnesota, daycares participating in the Child.
C
Care Assistance Program must keep detailed daily attendance records, including each child's name and sign in and sign out times. These records must be kept on site and maintained for six years.
A
Providers with the Minnesota Department of Human.
C
Services and they have to follow specific regulations for enrollment, health records and emergency contact information as well. Overall, the goal is to ensure safety.
A
Accountability and transparency for both parents and regulatory bodies. If you need more specific details, just let me know. Barb said. I just think maybe you should rethink the intro. I actually think the show is perfect. So let's hear in the comments. Do you feel Barb should pick the intro? I bet Barb would have something super exciting like cats playing with each other. Like, I don't. I don't know. Rethink the intro. When did I ask for your help? Because you and your one friend and your two family members don't. They probably are liberals that just don't want to watch and just gave you an excuse. Too long in the beginning. Too long in the beginning. Has anyone seen my insulin? Keep going.
C
And the other daycare center right now is right here. These buildings should be operating as they're receiving. Literally.
A
Pause, Barb and I'll leave you alone if this I don't want to pick the intro, then shut up because you're saying rethink the intro. Which. Which means you want something different. You're giving input no one asked for. Freaking A. I wake up and put on my nice burgundy jacket for you people and I got to hear abuse from Barb. Barb, if you're happily married and all your family lives with you, then disregard everything I say. But if your husband took off on you and no one wants to be around you, here's a clue why. Because I'm guessing I'm not the only person you offer unwanted advice to. And notice it's on Facebook. Facebook is the cesspool of social media. You can post something on Twitter, lol, couple LOLs, Instagram, positive comments. Facebook's a freaking war zone. Continue.
C
I knocked on the door and to.
A
My surprise pause I I'm with Ashley, who's also on Facebook. Married 55 years. Can I know how I'll leave you alone. Somebody said it's better than taking 10 minutes at the beginning saying waiting for everyone to get on. Yeah. Is that what you'd like? You want me to do what all the other ministers do on their YouTube programs? Just given a couple minutes for everyone to come on. Meanwhile, no one's coming on. Hi Sandy. Hi Margaret. Oh, hi Jennifer. How are you? How'd the dog surgery go? Good to see you. Just waiting a couple more minutes. That's what I'll do. Next time. Watch Elijah List or whatever it tells people right at the beginning not to watch. I don't know what I do this show for me, the fact that anyone enjoys it is beyond me. Good God. If you give me your address, Barb, I'm going to send roses for your husband. Continue.
C
The answer at the door. Hello, can we speak? I would like to check a child in the daycare. Can I speak to a manager? Where can I get paperwork to file for my son? I wanted to put my son Joey in daycare and after a few questions, the lady went silent. Looks like little Joey Shirley ain't going to daycare here and now.
E
Where are we going now? We're going to Sweet Angel Child Care.
C
We're in the middle of a strip mall here, inside of this neighborhood.
E
In fiscal year 2025, this facility, which has its license for 74 kids, was paid $1.26 million in tax money and there are no kids and all the facilities are the same way.
A
I'll watch five more minutes and then I'll make it stop because I'll watch Lawrence again. I really like this spot for my.
C
Son Joey and they would not open the door. I want to put my son Joey in daycare cuz I need a spot to put my son Joey.

You said you're. You said you're scared of me because of my color.
E
I'm not saying you're you.
C
You said you're scared of me because of my color. That makes you a racist. So right now they're all getting mad because he's showing the paperwork of this business being registered as a business. 74 children, no children. We saw one child. The lady opened up the door. So now they're all getting mad.
E
What was this money spent on? 1.26 million. What was that money spent? There aren't any kids. Ask the owner and the kids. Well then why are you talking for the owner if you're telling me to talk to the owner?
D
I'm sorry, I'm not understand what you're talking about.
E
Do you have a child here? No. Does anybody? No. Where are the 74 kids? Did you lose them? Did you lose these kids? Do I need to call someone? Do I need to issue an ambush for missing children?
A
Paul on Facebook said, wonder what the odds are that anyone in power will actually go to prison for this. I feel like a moron for saying this, but I actually feel like it would be 60 plus percent at this point. And I'm. I'm one that would definitely be in the camp of like nobody's ever going to get in trouble. But this, this feels different. And there's already been what's up, Maria? In St. Augustine, Florida, oldest city in the United States, there's already been a ton of indictments which if I ever finish watching this video, I'll get to because I, I thought that now it's all small time people. But I really don't think you can make all this go away, especially now. If, if Kamala won, then it all goes away. I don't think. Even with inept Republicans in charge. I think something's going to happen. And I'll show you more as we go on. Continue.
E
Are these children missing? It's not my business. The children are missing. 74 infants and toddlers preschool.
C
The proof's right there. There's no children anywhere. I think we're moving on to the next location. Have a good day. As we continue to show the blatant fraud that was taking place here in Minnesota, Somalis started following us around the city and now we're being followed by the Somalis. This is another daycare center. Absolutely.
A
Hola, Senor Morales.
C
There's no footprints in the snow of children playing outside. $5 million within the past 2 million in two years.
E
5.9 million they received in two years. That facility right there.
C
And now we have a group of Somalis telling us in our vehicle right now from this daycare center, we headed over to the infamous Quality Learning center.
A
Leering center. Do you know what leering means? It's like when you, like gaze like creepily at something like, like it would be a sentence. Like the old man leered at the teenage girl as she went to the beach. The Quality Leering Center. You know what? Let's do two shirts today. Do the one I sent you and then do one for Quality Leering Center. Put Quality Leering Center, Minneapolis, Minnesota. That's a great one.
C
Continue hearing center on the outside. Other sign. That's how blatant this fraud is here at this daycare.
D
Don't open up.
C
So this is Quality Leering Center. I meant to say Quality Learning Center. They said they spelled this.
A
Liberal wench.
D
Don't open up.
C
I'm literally a YouTuber.
D
Don't open up.
A
Ma', am.
C
What do you think about the fraud that's taking place here in Minnesota?
D
Don't open up. We have ice.
E
Ma', am. What do you think about this place being licensed for 99 children?
D
Don't open up.
E
And getting $4 million over them? $4 million in the last two years. Go away what do you think about that? Are you in favor. Are you in favor of that.
D
Go away.
A
Took the old lady from home alone.
D
Shame on you.
C
Are you in favor of $1.9 million going illegally open up fraudulently to this business that his Quality Learning center, but can't even spell learning right on the door.
D
Don't open up.
E
Ma'.
C
Am. We are not ice. I don't care who you are.
D
You don't belong here.
A
Neither do you.
C
Here. Just like you belong here.
D
Don't open up. It's ice.
C
You do realize.
A
Pause. They're supposed to be find out about this guy. Is he a Christian? He's very nice. I may have him pray for me. He deals with people as a reporter, as I should deal with people as a pastor. He's very kind to this lady who has no lips. If I met this lady, I'd say, ma', am, could I have you lift your hands? Father God, if you could just grow her a top and bottom lip. We believe you to do the impossible. Holy moly. That's one ugly lady. Keep going. Oh, he's Mormon.
C
99 children in here at this building. No one here. This is a Child Daycare Center.
E
99 children paid $1.9 million this year in CCAP funding. Do you know where the children are? Where they kidnapped, they run away. Where are the children? This is state of Minnesota.
A
Pause. What are those keys unlock around your neck? Guess I'm not in a boyfriend's apartment. Keep going.
D
And who are you?
C
My name is Nick Shirley, ma'. Am.
A
Who are you with?
C

Welcome back to Check the News.
D
And who are you?
C
My name is Nick Shirley, ma'. Am.
A
Who are you with?
C
Nick Shirley. Nick.
A
Surely the permanent frown.
C
Oh, he's just been doing some research investigating the fraud that's taking place here in Minnesota.
E
Yeah, I'm with Nick Shirley.
C
This lady, she's calling us ice. We're just trying to put law and order back in the streets of the United States. Get rid of all the fraud. Have you ever seen children at that daycare center right there?
A
Five more minutes.
C
Yeah, it's right there. It says the child. You've never seen daycare?
E
I haven't seen anybody in here.
C
We're going to educate you on something. So what do you think about this daycare center? They spelled learning wrong.
A
This guy has an interesting look. Honey, have you seen my blue eyes? Izod polo shirt and my skull beanie? Like, from the chin to the head, he's down for trouble. And from the chin down, he's ready to work. Accounting. Keep going.
C
$1.9 million this year alone. And they're supposed to have 99 children here?
E
I don't see it.
C
Have you ever seen any children here?
E
None.
C
None at all.
E
None last this year. They got 1.9 million last year.
A
That's right, Amber.
E
Your tax money for 99 children which just want to know, where are the kids? Right? Where are the children? I don't see them.
C
I've been here since 2017.
A
That's the second time I've heard people say, we need to pray for his safety. Has he. Has he been threatened? Has he gotten death threats for doing this? Keep going.
E
Never seen a child here. Not at all.
C
And so you've never seen a child here for eight years? Nope.
E
Not at all.
C
And how does that make you feel, knowing that this place is receiving $1.9 million?
E
Disgusting. I mean, what the hell? They stealing the money? That's a federal grant, too. That's if they get caught. That's a federal offense. I know. I studied law.
C
And do you think Tim Waltz should go to jail for all the fraud that he's enabled here in his state?
E
That's him doing this? Heck, yeah. He's gotta be held accountable for this.
C
I mean, there's no rhyme or reason. What's going on here?
E
It's simple.
A
It's nothing.
E
There. It's parking lot.
C
And look, they even spelled learning wrong on their sign. For a place that's supposed to be educating children. Children.
E
That's crazy. I mean, who. Who runs it? Who supposedly runs it?
C
Somalians.
A
Oh, my God.
E
Oh, my God.
A
Yeah, it's just that guy late for a Blink 182 concert.
C
So how long you been living here?
E
Here? Since 2017.
C
Never seen a single child walk in that building? No, not at all. So this day. Daycare center is literally just a place to traffic money. $1.9 million just this year alone. And this guy's been living eight years and has never seen a Single child walk through those doors. There's no windows either. No. And the only window they do have.
A
Me too, blacked out.
E
Yep, I see that. I've never seen anybody go in there.
C
Within just a few hours, we nearly approached $20 million in fraud. And we headed over to George Floyd's neighborhood to expose more of the fraud taking place.
E
This place is called Future Leaders Early Learning Center.
A
Future Leaders.
E
And it's licensed for 90 children. And in fiscal year 2025, they received $3.6 million. In fiscal year 2020 24, they received $3 million. So in two years, they got $6.67 million, claiming they have 90 children. Every day of the week, five days.
C
A week, we are making just about more money.
A
What's up, Hector?
E
NBA athletes, and we don't even know if they're paying taxes. But we don't know where this money is going.
A
Pause. All right, we'll finish the final 22 minutes towards the end. And I'll get to stuff pertinent to this in the middle. Look at this guy. He holds his own microphone. It's him and a cameraman. Maybe. Maybe he mounted the camera. I think there's somebody filming. So you got CBS News, Fox News, they have production teams. They have multimillion dollar budgets for expose reporting. You found nothing, which is fine. Just please don't take credit like you're in it with him next. But freeze the time frame. 22 minutes, 35 seconds left, I think. And then we'll. We'll go from there. Ohio. So now, you know, there's a ton of Somalians in Columbus, Ohio. They're finding it there, and they're finding it in Washington state. Is there a video with this? Roll it.
D
So these individuals tried to report the fraud that was happening in Ohio and then eventually came to me to say that we're watching providers rubber stamp paperwork for home health. So in Ohio, and there's many states.
A
Like this, Pennsylvania, somebody said, Ashley said, why would they choose a daycare? It seems like a bad front. Well, it looked. It worked for like eight years. See, the problem is that guy, Michael Francis franchise or Francis, that. That is the former mafia guy that got saved. He ran a great scam when he was in the mafia. They had a guy inside New York State Department of Revenue that told him they were six months behind on audits of businesses. So he would open up a gas station that was a legitimate gas station. They wouldn't pay any state taxes, which is a lot of what the gas price is. So they'd make Millions of dollars. And then when it was going to be six months, they'd shut that gas station down and go open up somewhere else. It was the most profitable thing that the. I didn't know that, Rosalie. It was the most profitable thing that the mafia did. You know why he was able to do it for so long without getting caught? Because he shut it down and moved. These morons came up with a great scheme. You don't keep it open for nine years, you're going to get caught. If you just kept like shutting down the daycares and moving somewhere else, you could, you maybe could do it in perpetuity.
D
Keep going other states, too, where you can go in and you can say, my aging parent needs a home health care and I want to provide it. So the state will, as long as a doctor has approved it, continue to pay you. It could be for 10 hours, 12 hours, up to 24 when it's critical for care. So you could sit at home without caring for an elderly parent who really doesn't need it, make about 75 to $90,000 a year. Now you add two parents, that's 180. Now you add your in laws, 250. You continue to add this, and you wonder, what are the services being provided? So a lot of providers came and said, fraud is occurring because we said we weren't going to rubber stamp this paperwork. So they went to other providers, their home health care networks, saying, we'll make it worth your while. Well, sounds like a kickback to me. So we really need to investigate the Medicaid system and how much it's increased since the Somalian population came. And who really needs critical care because that's meant for our disabled, our elderly, and people who really need it, not to just live up our system. And that's what's happening in Ohio. I think it's ridiculous. I think it's despicable. But authorities are now looking at it from the attorney General office to the U.S. attorney's office. I flagged them all because this is Ohio tax dollars, and we have to take it seriously. I'm tired of people telling me, well, this is the way it's always been. It's subjective and we can't really check. No, you can audit America. Audit Ohio now. And I'm pushing for that in every single state.
A
Good. Next Somali fraud. By the way, that's Ohio where it's happening. That's a Republican governor, that jerk Mike DeWine that went after churches during COVID So again, that's why I'm registered Independent Nick Shirley was forced out of a Somali owned business. You should have stayed there. You should have made him put hands on you and then went to town. Roll it.
E
Get the out of here.
A
Or what? What are you gonna do? We don't care. We don't know where it is. £121. You don't know that.
E
He's recording.
A
Get out of here. I mean, he's doing the right thing. That's good Mormon behavior.
C
Move.
E
I didn't give you permission to record me.
C
What kind of looking for?
A
Why you come here?
E
Why you have.
A
No.
E
No. Get out of here. Get out of here. Who do you work for? Who do you work for earlier?
A
Pause. I'm very impressed. I've never seen this guy in my life. The. The. The young YouTube guy that Nick. Nick's his name, right? He's very impressive. You know, he's not rattled. He's very calm. He doesn't yell back. It's prob. That probably aided in the over. It's not just the content. He handles it very well. Keep going. Who do you work for?
C
Nick Shirley.
A
I don't care about Nick Shirley.
C
That's who he's working for today.
A
He just asked you who he is. You asked him here.
C
Would you like to give a statement, sir? And see you guys say, I can't film. But look at you guys filming. You can do that. You can film here.
A
That's his security, right?
C
Where's advanced mobility at? That's all we're asking.
A
Business man. Pause. Seriously, what do you have to say for yourself? ABC News, NBC News, pbs. This kid's got a phone on a selfie stick holding his own mic. He's got no budget and he did all this. And what I would. I would love to see. I wish we could look up like what's advertised. That's going to be on Fox tonight. Or. Well, they'll have this. I'd like to see what they covered last week. You don't break any stories and you cover up stories other people break. Continue.
E
Why? I grew up in Minneapolis. I don't have to go anywhere. Did you grow up here? Did you grow up here? Why do Cat. I was born in Minneapolis telling me to go to the white white. I grew up here.
C
White.
E
Are you a racist?
A
You are racist. How? And can we cut the racist talk? You know Somalians, not a race that's called a nation. Can't be racist against Somalians. You be racist against. Blacks you be racist against. I don't just run through a bunch of races a bunch of races because you could clip the thing and it wouldn't sound too good. But that's not a race. Next reports here's some good news. Iran looked like it was going to topple in a good way. Then it went quiet. Now it's breaking out. Full scale reports of Iranian citizens now taking to the streets in tab. Can you make it bigger please? Tabriz like Febreze in parallel with demonstrations in Tehran against the regime.

I already love same day delivery with Shipt, but it's so much better since I signed up for target's circle 360. Why? Because I no longer pay price markups from the majority of stores through Shipt. Only a handful of alcohol retailers and items don't count. That means no markups on groceries, pet food, even home goods and makeup. So to recap, I have more time to catch up on life while someone shops for me and I spend less. It's a win win. Order now@shipt.com 360 terms apply. This is an iHeart podcast.

The episode offers a detailed, boots-on-the-ground look into what is alleged to be a wide-reaching program of daycare and healthcare fraud in Minnesota and beyond. Those involved call out both Democratic and Republican officials for alleged complicity or inaction, and state that the Somali community's insularity and block voting are key to the scandal’s persistence. The podcast paints a picture of systemic corruption, significant taxpayer losses, and a media that is failing to serve its role as watchdog. The passionate host and investigative contributors urge listeners to "check the news" themselves and push for accountability at every level.
