Good morning, Tanner. Good morning. Let's start with a PR. Sa. I dwell in the shadow of the most high. Under his wings I'm safe tonight trouble may rise, the storm may roll. But his truth's a shield, it covers my soul. Oh Lord, you are my refuge. Yes, he's my refuge, my fortress, my soul. He keeps me strong through the p. Through the valley, Carries me all.

Yes, he's my refuge, my fortress and my song. He keeps me strong through the fire, through the valley. You're the strength I lean upon. Lean it on you, Sa. I hope you're all doing well. We're approaching Christmas. It's the holidays. Good morning, Tanner. Good morning. You got that Christmas vibe going this year, young man? Yeah, I do. I got the Christmas tree already up. It's. I'm really excited. I'm really excited for all the snow, actually. I'm glad to hear you got your Christmas vibe going. I've had years where I've had it going and I've had years where I wonder where it's gone. This is one of those years where I wonder where it's gone. I'm going to try to get into it. I've got some holiday events scheduled. I'm excited about that. But as Tanner knows, I'm very involved in producing here at Free People and we've got these podcasts and I'm involved in the politics here in Minnesota and I see a lot of pressing things that are keeping me from being in the holiday mood. That doesn't mean I'm not in a prayerful mood. The more intense it gets for me, the more I walk by faith and not by sight. Because I do believe in miracles and I do believe we need them. Here's a miracle. Could you please support Free people radio? There's two ways to do it. You can go to tireget.com t I r e G-E-T.com it's everything you need in tires.

Because, you know, she's looking for a reason to say professor Penn might not be any good. And I said, well, he's got a lot of really interesting things to say, but some of the things he says are a little bit far right. No. Here at Free People Radio, we're just right. We're just right.

So go to the free peopleradio.com upward/store and please buy some of your Christmas gear from Free People Radio. We'll use the money to expand the programming. Let's get into it. We had an event last night here in CD3, where I live here in Minnesota. It's going to be the first of an ongoing series of monthly meetings. We're going to be doing this because CD3 needs organization. I know there's a political party here in. Stan Hamilton, who leads the executive committee of CD3. I invited him to participate. He didn't come. His people basically didn't come. Although two people, notable members of that community. I want to thank Martino Nguyen for coming. He was very vocal. He's on the CD3 executive committee. Fantastic. Jonathan anisted showed up. Jonathan called me. Jonathan's working on Adam Schwartz's campaign and he came, I think, to do a little oppo research. That's cool. Known Jonathan for a long time. Respect them, don't agree with them. Jonathan, my job is to hold the principle and bring you to the principle. Having principles matter. It's not about just getting people elected. It's about getting people elected that have some principle. You remember I said that just because somebody served in the military does not mean they're people of principle. Means they served our country. And that does deserve respect. That doesn't necessarily translate over into being the kind of folks we need to change the politics that has created the crisis that we live in. We had that meeting last night. It was at the Wayzata Central Middle school here in CD3. The next one is coming up January 7th, which is the first, I think the first Wednesday or the second Wednesday of January. I haven't looked at the calendar. Excuse me. I'm doing this in association with a very important place for citizens to gather from throughout the country and throughout the world, because we get people from throughout the world gathering at Minnesota Speaks, started by Minnesota lady and Lt. Aldo. Both were in attendance last night. Thank you for attending. We want to have a place to work in real. The real. The analog to augment the digital. That digital meeting every Thursday night, 7pm on X A spaces. Gonna be competing with the Professor Pan podcast tonight. Tanner. Yeah. You know where I'm gonna be. I really struggled with this because I really like to be in the live chat. Yeah. Particularly when we have such a potent podcast like we do tonight covering Christian Zionism and Jews and Israel and Somali and Ilhan Omar. I mean, this is going to be a rocking podcast. But I thought about it. I thought, you know what? I'm going to go to the spaces because I can go watch the podcast and review what people comment downstream. But we only have one shot. Well, actually, they record the spaces, but there's just something cool about being in a space where with thousands, thousands of citizens. And I want to have 10,000 people in there. And how we're going to do that. Go to Minnesota speaks tonight at 7pm Bring four or five people. Go next week, the week after. Let's fill that thing. And then we're going to have this monthly meeting where the people that are participating in Minnesota can come in and we can meet each other. And Minnesota lady already reached out to me and said, could we get together an hour before the thing starts and. And have a social hour? And the answer is yes, we can. I even know somebody who might buy the coffee. That be me. We will take donations. Remember, we got a Costco membership here, guys. We'll get the coffee. Listen to him. It's giving away this. Giving away the company secrets. All right, we're going to get right into this now. We're going to start out and we're going to talk about the issues of the day, which, of course were covered last night. There was quite a few Somali. I don't know if they were citizens, but I'm going to assume they were citizens that showed up at this event to be. I don't want to call them protesters. Excuse me, I have to take a little coffee here. They weren't really protesters. They were there to participate in a community dialogue, to react to number one. Please play number one. Somalians ripped off that state for billions of dollars. Billions every year. Billions of dollars. And they contribute nothing. The Welfare is like 88%. They contribute nothing. I don't want them in our country. I'll be honest with you. Okay? Somebody 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 could say that about other countries, too. I can say it about other countries, too. We don't want them to help. We got to. We have to rebuild our country. You know, our country is at a tipping point. We could go so 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. Ilhan Omar is garbage. She's Garbage. Her friends are garbage. These aren't 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, they came from paradise and they said, this isn't paradise. But when they come from hell and they complain and do nothing but bitch, we don't want them in our country. Let them go back to where they came from and fix it. Well, that was the start of some, well, shall we say, fiery community dialogue. As I said, quite a few Somali Minnesotans showed up at this event, and after some introduction and some presentation, we got into it. It was heavy and I would say there was some argument and I want to talk about that. But first I want to say Ilhan Omar immediately responded to President Trump calling her garbage by getting a editorial posted in the New York Times. And the headline of the editorial was, attacks on Somali Americans are a Cruel Distraction. Ilhan Omar's case, and this is the case, if you watch liberal media, which I do, because that's called opposition research, that President Trump is not dealing with the affordability issue. Well, let me just say first about this meeting. Been to a lot of forums. I've seen a lot of political conversations in open debate. If you really want to see something that is sincere and in depth and assumes that you, as an American citizen, you're sentient and you're interested in learning, come to these meetings. Because this was the most vibrant and in depth discussion of this issue I've ever seen in a public forum. And it was quite informative. And if we're going to solve the problems that we face as a country, we're going to have to get by, you know, canned stump speeches given by people who are in it for the money, the power, the ego, that's not going to get us out of this mess. We had two candidates on that stage, Phil Parrish and Royce White, that led a very in depth discussion of these issues around what's going on here in Minnesota with the Somali community. And Ilhan Omar's point was, was that the whole thing is a distraction because President Trump is failing on the affordability issue. And I heard the same thing from Morning Mika Wednesday that they, you know, that President Trump is just failing on this cost of living deal. And I went back and I said, grok, grok, give me the inflation numbers by quarter from 2021 through 2025. And guess what? When President Biden took over in 2021, the inflation rate was 2.6% by 2022. Q1, it was 8.5%. Then it was 9.1, 8.2. Now the Fed pulled up on the stick and raised the interest rates and it started coming down, coming down, coming down. And in the first quarter, 2025, when President Trump took over, it was 2.4%. And now in the third quarter, after the imposition of these very allegedly inflationary tariffs, it's 3.0%. And you go, wait a second, wait a second. Representative Omar how is the President feeling when the inflation rate is down from 9.1 under Biden to 3.0 under Trump, including these very important revenue raising tariffs, in my opinion. Well, actually, I've already decided that the next community meeting, we're going to talk about the economy, because one of the things that we don't understand as American citizens is how this all works. And let me just say there are certain inputs into the economy that are either inflationary or deflationary. Let me give you the first one. Our economy is not free. It's managed by a bunch of technocrats called the Federal Reserve, which represent. Those technocrats represent a private bank that finances the United States government. You want to talk about a intergalactic scam? We're talking about it right now. And we got to. If we're ever going to solve the inflation issue, we're going to get rid of the Fed and make them write off the chattel that they've put on my back. These people have control of the whole deal. And what the government does is it deficit spans and gets bigger and bigger and bigger. And then this private bank funds it and taxes us to pay the interest, which goes to private owners. This is called debt slavery. And people go, why is there inflation? Well, because they want it to inflate. The Fed target for inflation is 2.0. That's what they're looking for. Perfectly. 2.02% a year. We're going to inflate, which means in, you know, a certain amount of time, we've doubled the price of everything. By design. Did you know that that was by design, Tanner? Yeah, I learned. Learned it here. Yeah, right. Even had an expert on about the Fed one time. Remember, we had. That was a great. Oh, who was that? That was such a good episode. We can bring that dude back. He'd love to come back. Anyhow, my, my point about this is there's the cost of money, which the Fed determines, and there's the cost of energy, which is policy. So what has President Trump done, he's deregulating the energy industry. It's, you know, it's getting cheaper. I mean, a barrel of oil might get down to $50 a barrel around Christmas, which is low, which means our gas prices are coming down, which means there's more money in our pocket. Our electricity bills are high because of Biden's energy policies. The Green New scam, which Julia Coleman told me here in Minnesota, every Republican senator supports clean energy. Well, is it any surprise that our energy costs are through the roof when we're decarbonizing on a scam? So it takes time to heal things that are baked in at this depth, which is energy policy. That is something President Trump has accomplished. The cost of energy comes down. The cost of everything comes down. But what he can't control because we got an independent bank funding the deficit of an ever expanding government. That interest rate, that's what's breaking everybody. That's why the cost of everything is so high. The government keeps deficit spending and the Fed keeps playing with the interest rates. We got to get off of this, you know. Oh, affordability. There's no. This is just politics. When President Trump says the affordability argument is a scam, he's not wrong. He's just not very articulate about it, unfortunately, and that's because we can't understand it as citizens.

When President Trump was president the first time, my interest expense running the company was x. Right now it's 5 times x. I can't make money when the bank's taking all the cash. Nobody can, of course, unless you're Amazon and you got government contracts. But for the rest of us, for the backbone, the nation of shopkeepers, they're choking us out and they're doing it on purpose. So we have to have a very in depth conversation about the economy. Ilhan Omar said that this attack on the Somali community was a distraction. No, it's not. President Trump actually has policies in place that will enhance our economic strength as individual citizens. Affordability is coming, but when you get 9% inflation and everything goes up, it doesn't come back down. It stays where it's all you can do is slow the rate of inflation. The target's 2% a year. So now everything's elevated. It's not coming back down. Unless we have something that is dreaded. It's called deflation. You want affordability, you vote for a balanced budget. Oh, my God. You know, we got the left saying that a deficit span says about. I've actually had a leftist tell me that deficit spending is the measure of how the government cares about the people. Now, when we're dragging along a bunch of takers and we're givers and we're dragging and we're letting them take and we're not giving them options, like there's jobs, like when you export all of our industry to China, you know when you do that, you think, oh, no happens. No, it doesn't. It was policy. These people knew exactly what they were doing. They offshored labor because organized labor was what Herman Kahn called sand in the gears. So you know what? Very simple. Let's just offshore the production. We don't have to worry about banking the bricks and sticks. We don't have to buy the machines. We don't have to worry about the people. We're going to leave that for the slaveholders over there in China to do it. And we're just going to take the products and market them and make the money on the marketing. That's just great. And that's why we got Walmart and that's why we got Home Depot. That's why we got Costco. Those people that run and own those companies are just conduits for taking products made offshore and running them into our homes. And so there's no jobs. And then you train people, hey, there's no jobs. We're going to give you income, we're going to give you all kinds of programs. And. And the government keeps getting bigger and the Fed keeps giving us money and the interest payments get higher and higher. And right now the interest payments on the debt exceed the defense budget. We're going broke. And President Trump is trying to change it. The first fundamental thing was get this tariff policy in place, and we're only with 3% inflation and we've added 20% to the cost of everything coming in the country. Wow. That's because energy prices are coming down, deregulation is making it easier to do business, and the Fed just lowered interest rates yesterday by a quarter point. But they said that's the end of that. And why is that? Because the globalists control the fad. They don't want America to be standing proud and tall in the saddle with you having a great life. That's not what they're doing. They're taking all of our Money away on purpose. It's the bank. Ultimately, it's going to come down to this. And then we're going to get into tonight's subject. There's 9 or $10 trillion of debt that the Fed, what we call created, monetized, they went and created that 10 trillion out of thin air. If I did it, it'd be called counterfeiting. And they gave it to the government to fund all this deficit spending. We're paying interest on that 10 trillion. If we organize like going to Minnesota Speaks and come into these meetings and the grassroots citizens understand this scam and we elect people that got some cojones, we can just tell the Fed, go bite a hog in the ass, write it off. We'll bankrupt the globalists if we do this. And that's the only way out of this situation. It's freedom or slavery, you choose it. It's up to you if you want to be involved or not. So we had this meeting and people were getting excited and we were talking about citizenship and the Somalis were very upset and so was Martino. And it was a very spirited debate. And I think my takeaway came down to this. After much jostling, intellectual jostling, I think people, and the primary antagonist in the community, the Somali who was the primary antagonist, he actually agreed that if people are here illegally, they gotta go. It's just that simple. If you're here illegally, if you lied to be in this country, you got to go. And why do I say that? Because I'm a citizen, I'm an American citizen, I have an equity stake in this country and I want to build my country so that it creates well being for my children. If we have people in the country that came illegally in this wave that Biden let in number one, that has to be reversed. That was a political act. And we're going to talk about this relative to Israel downstream here tonight, that this is a well practiced political act to change the nature of a polity, open the borders, let people immigrate. That's exactly what happened in Israel. We're going to talk about that very shortly. That was funded by the Rothschilds, the central bankers. Also billions went into resettling European Jews into Israel to change the nature of that political entity. Very successful. It used to be, I think 85% Muslim Israel was called Palestine then. Did you know that? No. We're going to play it and we're going to cover it very shortly. Hang in there. Anyhow, we came to a conclusion. I think it seemed to me we agreed that if people were in the country illegally, hey, you gotta go. And it's not just Somalis that are in the country illegally. How many thousands of Chinese are in this country and lied to get their citizenship? Thousands. They need to go. How many Eastern Europeans are here illegally? Thousands. They need to go. It's not focused on Somalis now. President Trump focused it for a moment on Somalis. But overall, this is about rule of law. We American citizens, we are the only country on this planet that is united not by nationality, like the French, the British, the Chinese, they have a common ethnicity. We're not, you know, united by a religion. We don't have a common religion in this country. We're not tribal, we're not clannish. We are united by a set of philosophical ideas. America is next level. Next level. Every other country in the world was, you know, like the Germans. They know the Germans. They call them the Germans because they're all Germans. We're not. We're Americans. We're not all the same. And guess what? How do we operationalize that set of soaring philosophical Republican ideas? They're not Democrat ideas. That's a foreign ideology. We are a republic. We are a republic. And those Republican ideas are operationalized through what is called rule of law. Rule of law, justice for all. So when that's undermined by people illegally entering the country or lying on their immigration forms to get status, we've torn apart the fabric of what it is to be an American. And I'm going to tell you, just so you know, there are two crimes in this country for which there is no statute of limitations. Because these are the two crimes that destroy our community. One is murder. You murder somebody 30 years ago and you get away from it, get away with it for 30 years, and on the 31st year you can get arrested, you go to jail for the rest of your life. Because murder is a crime that cannot be swept under the rug over time. And that's the same thing with lying on your immigration form to become an American citizen. You lie on your immigration form and I'm going to tell you right now that crime has no statute of limitation. You did that, and it gets discovered downstream, you are subject to deportation, period. Otherwise, my citizenship has no value. And I want to have an equity stake in this country and increase the well being of citizens. And citizenship matters. It's the fundamental building block of a Republican form of governance. I'm not talking about the Republican Party. If you're new and you're listening for the first time, I don't mean a Republican Party form of government governance. I mean the philosophy of Republicanism, that number one, I'm the sovereign of my own existence. I'm my own king or queen. Number two, because I am a king or queen, I respect all the other kings or queens. I respect minority rights. That's baked into our rule of law. Number three, I must participate in civic life because I'm a Republican. How can I be a sovereign if I don't self govern? By participating, by coming to Minnesota speaks every Thursday night, 7pm by coming to this monthly meeting, by joining your local party, by going to caucus, by going to the school board meetings, by going to the county commissioner meetings, by being involved, by demanding that your government is transparent and honest with you and responds to your sovereign demand. And number four, we believe as Republicans here in this country, in the common good, the Commonwealth, we're not communists. We set up a political environment, a political economy where all who wish to work and to thrive economically have an opportunity to do so. And that is sorely lacking in this country today. But we, we talked about this problem here in Minnesota of the fraud and Phil Parrish was very eloquent talking about the fraud. He's been on the front lines of trying to expose that for 10 years. 10 years. And I'm going to just tell you after spending some time doing some research, there are three major clans. See in Somalia, in Somaliland, there's a tribal culture there, a tribal culture, a tribal consciousness that we as Americans living in a republic really can't get our minds around. You know who got their minds around that? The Jews. The Jews still have a tribal consciousness. The Jews have a loyalty to Israel and to the tribal consciousness of Jewish, of Judea, they have that too. It's a little bit hidden under PhDs, law degrees, medical degrees, but it's still there. Tribal consciousness, that's not Republican. Under this form of rule of law, we are loyal to the United States of America. I am loyal to the United States of America. But in Somalia, there's three major clans. You have the Darod, they're in Puntland and Jubaland, parts of Somaliland. There's Hawiya, that's in Mogadishu. That's Ilhan Omar's group, the Isaac, dominant in Somaliland. That the road. Actually, excuse me, Ilhan Omar's Klan, she's from the Magyarteen sub clan. That's the ruling clan. She's a ruler. Her father was a big stick back in Somalia. And there's a war there going on and it looks like a religious war, and there are people that are in it for the religion. But there's $4 trillion of known oil reserves in Somalia. And when you got these clans, these tribes, because remember now, the lines on the map, the borders, they weren't drawn by the local people. We go back to the way back now. They didn't have these lines on these maps. Those were drawn by colonial invaders, the Italians, the British, the French. They redrew that region to create conflict. And of course, they armed both sides of the conflict that they created with modern weapons. So they took people that really didn't get along for thousands of years and killed each other at a low level with spears, arrows, hand to hand combat. And they armed them with the most modern military kit and set them loose on each other. It's good for. It's a great business. Not only do you get the money selling the weapons, but you can rule a region with very little investment or resource because you put the clan leaders on the payroll and then have them kill each other. And guess where this region is. It's at the mouth of the Red Sea, which goes right to the Suez Canal. This is a big project, the Suez Canal. It's a big deal. We've had it so long here in our consciousness, we don't realize how important the Suez Canal was and is to the European colonial rulers of old and current times. So that Somalia region is on fire with conflict. The whole horn of Africa is in a big civil war. Tiret.com where convenience meets the road. Why make buying tires complicated? With tireget.com it's simple. Tireget.com one site, a few clicks, and the tires of your choice are shipped to an installer right by your house. And, you know, people ran away from there because it was, you know, you stay there, you get killed. And so we got a lot of Somalians here In Minnesota, maybe 100,000 people. And then there's another region there called Somaliland, and it has a lot of resources. And this is another tribe, the Isaac. And these people are at war over, is there a country called Somaliland, which is something we don't really know very much about. Kind of like when the planes flew into the towers. Tanner, most Americans didn't know that there was two branches of Muslim, the Islam religion. We have the Shia and the Sunni. People didn't know that. We had no idea of the depth and complexity and richness of this history. And we don't understand as American citizens this tribal consciousness or this tribal conflict. Were we better? Because I think it has a lot to do with what's happening here in Minnesota. But at just a cursory level. Cursory level, man. Got a lot of fraud going on here and people are saying that the money is going back to fund terrorist activity. Well, let's just talk about that in a minute. But before we get there, I would like to juxtapose a very informed debate last night in depth with real. Well, I'm just going to say I was impressed. It's hard to impress me. Now I'm going to show you who we're elected and why we got problems in Minnesota. Please play number two. I spoke with three Republican lawmakers to get their reaction to the ongoing ICE operation here in the Twin Cities and President Trump's remarks earlier this week that Somalis are, quote, garbage. He called Somalis garbage. Do you endorse those remarks or are you willing to denounce. Okay, that is absolute. That's a dumb, stupid question. I'm not even. That is a stupid question. I can't even believe you asked me that question. I don't have. That is absolutely stupid. Did you just ask me that? That's an elected representative here from the Republican Party of Minnesota, Mary Franson. Mary doesn't like me. I try to stay away from her. She tries to stay away from me. But I just can't let that one slide because that's the question of the day. Do you support these comments or do you not? You're elected. That's not a stupid question. That's an important question. Do we call citizens garbage? How do we feel about that? That's something we all have to work through ourselves to say. It's stupid. You know what? When you got this kind of intellectual power in your state governance, it's not hard to see why we're getting ripped off for billions of dollars. Let me take it a step further. Can you play this next clip with Mary Fransen? Because she actually went on X and took credit for calling out this fraud six years ago. But watch her courage not. There wasn't any. Where she tried to bring up this fraud in a committee meeting, and then when she was challenged, she just scurried away like a scared little girl. And the fraud continued for another six years. Taking credit for this is an embarrassment as a legislator. No. If you know there's fraud and some Democrat tries to shut you down, you stand up and you say, I am here to defend the citizens of Minnesota. And if you can't do that, you really don't deserve to be there because we're losing our freedom and we're losing our country. So, you know, you have a chance to stand up now, Mary Fransen, stand up tomorrow. See, it's easy now. Donald Trump is, you know, cutting a rug. Now everybody's got a set of coones. But where was everybody six, 10 years ago? I know one guy that was on it. Bill Parish was on it with hobnailed boots. The rest of the folks really couldn't get the job done because guess what, Guess what? You know what? We have to be convivial. We have to govern. You know what? You governed us into a massive fraud. Let's play this next one. The dhs. And when he brought forward some of these issues of fraud, he was. He's a disgruntled employee. That's how the public was gaslighted. That's how Scott Stillman was gaslighted. He was a whistleblower, not protected. But. However, in this data practice request, DHS officials back in 2014 were warned that public program dollars may be leaving the US and getting in the hands of dangerous people. I have a memo that says it was public possible that a portion of all the money, regardless of its source, that was sent or brought to some African, Middle Eastern and Southwest Asian countries was being diverted to terrorist organizations. I have another representative. Franson, I'm sorry, but is there a question? Because we have other members and. Please ask your question. We don't have time for a speech now. Well, there's not. I. You know what? But please, please wrap it up. I'm okay. Well, then we will go on to the mismanagement of dhs when the Office of Foreign Asset Control kicked back a payment to a child care center because it appeared that the owner of the child care center was associated with the Taliban, which is why the account was ordered frozen. But yet dhs, the Department of Human Services, considered mailing a check for the amount to the child care center, about approximately $24,000. Even after all this, which was quite maddening and quite frankly, I am disgusted by some of the conversation about terrorism, Taliban and all those things. Those have been debunked. Those are not true. The hate, the fear, the Islamophobia that exists needs to stop now and forever. We can no longer continue to have those types of conversations in this. So, you know, it's. As a citizen, I just have to say, as a constituent, you know, a certain kind of politics in Minnesota. Minnesota. Nice. Okay, great. The Republican Party, a lot of people don't like me because, see, if I was. And they're going to say, well, you're not elected. You don't know what it is. Yes, I do know what it is. That's the moment six years ago where you make the wheels come off the wagon. You stop. You're there to protect the interests of your constituents. If you know there's fraud, you never get off of it. This is not a Republican or a Democrat thing. I'm not interested in making it a party thing. I'm making it a people thing. When you get elected. And if I ever run, if I get elected, I'm there for one reason, to protect the interests of my constituents. The fact that this has gotten like this is because it's been allowed to get like this. People fear. The people who are elected fear constituents in their own districts who may accuse them of Islamophobia, racism, sexism, et cetera and so on. So identity is used to thwart and to muffle the voices of these legislators, but of course, they allow themselves to be muffled. What we need is a whole new crew, or we need the existing legislators to actually quit this Minnesota nice thing and push this thing through. So we fix our state. We got a $72 billion budget right now. This. And I've said this, and I'm going to say it again. We've got all this focus on the Somali community. And this is important because it's foreign policy. And we're going to talk in a minute about where I think this money is going and how it's really fueling a war over resources. But there's so much fraud in the state, it's mind blowing. We're still with. If the Somali fraud is $8 billion a year, we're still dealing with small Duke energy policy in this state. The decarbonization of Xcel Energy creates tremendous economic damage to the citizens of this state. We've got a health care system that is so predatory, and why not? Oh, my gosh, you could die. You know, Tanner, we were talking about this the other day. You got to go to the doctor, right? Yeah. Got to go regular because, you know, they got a problem. Okay. So they got everybody on the comeback. Like drug dealers got to come back and come back and come back, and then the citizens have to pay for it. Is our well being really being enhanced? Well, when we squeeze all the extra procedures out of the system so that the procedures that are left are just about well being. Whoa, that's a lot of money. Just to name two. Energy policy and how our healthcare policy is being delivered. Those are two massive areas of waste, fraud and abuse that dwarf what's going on with this community. But I'm going to say that this money that's getting drained out of the state and it's being drained out by people that are involved with clans and tribes and we know there's tremendous amounts of remittances going back to the homeland. What the heck is going on in the homeland? Well, let's listen to number three. House Republicans and the treasury secretary just now talked about a link to terrorism, a possible link. He said they're just now beginning to look into it. How confident are you that that's a false claim? I'm pretty confident at the moment because. Stop. There are. Did she look confident just now when she answered that? No, no. I mean, she got griddled on that deal. Let's continue. Are people who have been prosecuted and who have been sentenced, if there was a linkage in that, the money that they had stolen going to terrorism, then that is a failure of the FBI and our court system in not figuring that out. And oops, stop again, basically. So if there is terror, if there is defunding of terrorism, it's not the fault of the people that are funding it, it's a fault of the FBI and the court system for not discovering it. But of course, those funding mechanisms are intentionally constructed to be hard to discover. Well, this is really, this is rich stuff right here. I would say that this woman, our representative here in CD5 Minnesota is on the bubble now. I would say that this is a tipping point for her career. Let's continue charging them with, with these, with these charges. And so I do know that for many years this sort of like alarm that there is money being transferred through the airport in bags and going to terrorism has all that accusation has always existed that it's never been here and there in those accusations. Republicans, what is this? There's never been here or there in those accusations. What does that even mean? I'm not sure what that means, but there's a whistleblower from the airport that I was just reading in the paper the other day said that there was suitcases with millions of dollars going back there. So, you know, we're going to have. But see, now this stuff's going to get sorted out. Let's finish this little clip. That was all that was it Great. So that that was just on Face the Nation this past weekend. Now, let's talk Turkey here. When Ilhan Omar goes back to the home country.

If anybody speaks the native tongue and this translation is poor, you're welcome to get in touch with me because I didn't. I just couldn't vet it. I mean, I'm not sure how close the translation is, but let's take a whack at it and see what we got. We as Somalians, we love each other. There are eras of frictions that led us to kill each other, but in reality we are an organized society of brothers and sisters, people of the same blood. People who know that they are Somalians first and Muslims second, who protect one another and come to each other's aid in the aid of other Muslims too. Several days ago, we heard that some of the people call themselves Somalis. She's talking about Somalilanders who claim to be Somalis have signed a memo understanding with Ethiopia on access to the sea. Now she kind of makes fun of herself and she says her Somali language is atrocious. Somalians have personally called her and asked her to speak to the US Government to thwart this memo of understanding. They want to know what the U.S. answer is. And she says the U.S. government will only do what Somalians in the U.S. tell them to do, what we want them to do and nothing else. Somalians must have confidence that there are Somalians here in the country that pay taxes. A country when one of your daughters. She's talking about herself, is in Congress to protect Somalia's interests, that its waters will not be stolen by Ethiopia or any other country. No one would dare to scold anyone that would do this. Knowing that she's there to protect the interests of Somalia from inside, inside the U.S. system. Know that she's working in the Congress to protect their interests. And she knows about their plight and she's concerned about Somalia as much as the Somalians live in there. And she's going to protect the Somalian interest. All the Somalians are supposed to come across the world are together. This goes on and on. She's really talking about Somalian nationalism, her love of country. And she will never allow anybody else to steal Somalian land. There's a remarkable level of unity against Ethiopia and Somaliland. We're into this tribal consciousness thing. Somalia is for Somalis only. That's in the translation. It's identified as a genocidal construct that the Somalia land could not be divided, that Ethiopia and Kenya have stolen land and that they're gonna. They're gonna liberate the occupied territory and that Somalia cannot be further divided. Thank you for inviting me. She's honored and goodbye. So I don't know how good that translation is. And I'm looking around the teleprompter trying to read it. So I didn't do a great job even reading the translation. But this is a strange to me, strange thing for an elected American representative from CD5 here in Minnesota to be in Somalia talking about that she is representing the interests of Somalia in our government. But you know what? I think the most damning part is when she said, from the inside of the United States. Does that not like, kind of tell on yourself that? But we're going to condemn her for this, right? I mean, I do, but you know who else does this? The Jews. Tribal consciousness, same thing. People speak a little bit better English. They've been here a little bit longer. They're much more embedded into the culture. And so you know what I did? I asked Grok, could you list for me since 1948, all the Jewish elected officials to Congress who speak Hebrew fluently, and all of the links to them speaking to Israeli audiences in Hebrew, And Grok popped them all out. I start clicking the links, and you know what I found? Hmm? This video is no longer available. This video is no longer available. This video is no longer available. This video is no longer available. You know why? Because they're a step ahead of me. They knew somebody like me was going to figure this out and say, oh, what's good for the goose is good for the gander. I mean, if we're going to condemn Ilhan Omar for representing the interests of Somalia in our Congress, how can we do that and not condemn the Jewish people that do it? But all those videos are wiped clean. So there's no evidence the crime scene has been sanitized, so to speak. Metaphor. Well, let me just share that. In this takedown of the billions of dollars, it's become clear to me that there's a war there between tribes. It appears to be a religious war, and it is probably a religious war for some people, particularly the young people that are fighting and dying, because religion is a good way to get people to go get themselves killed in the name of Allah, in the name of Yahweh, in the name of Christ. Hey, we're good at that, right? Organizing armies is always enhanced by religion just the way it is. I don't think we would like that if we thought it through. And that's what we need to start doing. That's what this podcast is about. But when billions of dollars of remittances leave and go there, they actually could end up. And I don't have any evidence of it. I think investigators could look for the evidence. It will be hard to track the cash, which, of course, is an argument for digital currency. You see how this stuff works? Let's have a problem and let's have a solution. Problem, solution, right. You know, this is a sticky wicket because, oh, look at all this cash fund and terrorism. Oh, Republicans, we have to support digital currency to protect ourselves from Islamic Terrorism. You see, this is a very complicated problem that needs complicated conversation. And if we're not willing to have that, we're going to lose our freedom. But let me just say I found a clip. It was put together by a very well known journalist who's based in England. His name is Jamal Osman. There is some allegations that he is not a impartial journalist. And of course, probably no journalism is impartial. But let's get a view into Al Shabaab because the allegation is this money is going to fund Al Shabaab and there's a lot of very interesting information. This is about a 13 minute clip. I want to run the whole thing. Let's learn a little bit about what's going on over in this region of the world. A graduation ceremony for around 200 Al Shabaab fighters. The latest recruits for the militants that rule over a third of Somalia. Their face is covered so they can operate anonymously. They are fighting to overthrow the internationally recognized government of Somalia. Democracy is a religion for non Muslims, A religion for non Muslims. It is our duty to use all our powers to confront and reject. These soldiers will be sent on missions to carry out attacks against the Somali government as well as African Union troops stationed here and in neighboring countries. They have undergone several months of intense training to become battle ready. They might not want to reveal their identities, but they do want to show their force. Uniforms, guns, vehicles, all spoils of war stolen from their enemies. And of course, the essential mug for sweet tea. Notoriously suspicious, they rarely give access to outsiders. I'm the first journalist allowed to film them in years. Anyone who's bringing democracy here, we're going to stab them in their throats. Is Mahat Karate his nickname, a nod to his extensive martial arts training. He was once a Somali government intelligence officer who is now one of Al Shabaab's most senior leaders. One is. Al Shabaab was formed in 2002 and came to prominence in 2006 when Ethiopia invaded Somalia. A few years later, they pledged allegiance to Al Qaeda. The militants have carried out wave after wave of attacks over the years targeting the African Union forces who are here to protect the Somali state. But civilians are often the victims. This explosion in Torpedo 2017 killed over 500 people in Mogadishu. The US and Europe have spent billions of dollars to try to defeat them. President Biden recently announced that US soldiers would once again be stationed here. Western nations regard Al Shabaab as a terrorist organization that's causing havoc and instability in the East Africa region. That's why they have been targeting their leaders with drone strikes, funding the African Union mission and supporting the Somali government. But after 16 years of fighting to eliminate the militants, Al Shabaab still remains strong. I have come to the group's heartland to find out why this is the de facto capital of Al Shabaab, the city of Jilib in southern Somalia. I'm being given a tour by the governor and one of the group's most senior leaders, Sheikh Mohammed Abu Abdallah. He takes me to a checkpoint where all vehicles coming into the region are searched. Each vehicle has to pay between 200 and 1500 US dollars to pass through, depending on the size and the goods they are carrying. They collect millions of dollars of taxes a month to fund their military campaign and their efforts to build state. There is also some more unusual Contraband plastic bags are banned in Al Shabaab territory. Their environmental policies might be the same, but the UK government considers them one of the most dangerous terrorist organizations in Africa. The governor himself has a bounty on his head and has survived multiple assassination attempts. As he shows me around, he argues the perception of Al Shabaab is not accurate. He takes me to the main hospital where they have invested $2 million to build new department. I have come across this billboard. You might not believe this message is from Al Shabaab, but it reads Tala Behentad wa Mihim. Your opinion is important. Your complaints will be listened. With Al Shabaab's reputation, are people really brave enough to complain? The suggestion box is just a few hundred yards from where they carry out regular public executions under the governor's supervision. Next, Abu Abdallah takes me to a food distribution center. He tells me they are trying to establish a welfare state. I asked him if this was a strategy to win public support. This region is the most fertile land in Somalia, but elsewhere in the country there is severe drought. Humanitarian agencies warn that millions are at risk of starvation. Mahadu hadaladas afka lakin to salah dulka. Babin. Halidis laughs. It's hard to know where the people are only supporting the group in exchange for food. I wanted to find out what residents in Dilip who aren't reliant on handouts think so. I head into town on my own. That evening I stop at Abdurrahman's barbershop. He is originally from Hargeysa in northern Somalia, but the moved here six years ago. But there's another reason to In Al Shabaab areas, drugs are strictly forbidden. Abd al Rahman was once an addict, but the restrictions have helped him kick his habit. There is little crime here in Jilib due to a heavy Al Shabaab security presence and brutal punishments. Thieves have their hands and feet cut off. But they are not just here to to prevent crime. Their role is also to implement strict Islamic rules. In the past, people who were caught would be punished, but they are now taking a softer approach as part of their strategy to win public support. Al Shabaab's goal is to govern the whole of Somalia under strict Sharia law. And that means educating future generations to create a loyal following. Children wear what are considered to be Al Shabaab symbols on their foreheads. The group have opened dozens of schools teaching subjects like computer science, maths and English alongside Al Shabaab ideology. You have to be able to describe peer to peer versus server beer networks. Ummo Muhammad has six children. Al Shabaab are often compared to the Taliban, but they encourage women like her to work and girls to go to school. They also don't force women to cover their faces, although some do. The women, they work Al Shabaab, they urge us to work. They don't force you to stay at home, but they encourage us to come out and work and they give us suitable conditions to work and learn also. Back at the graduation ceremony, the new fighters are sharing a feast with Ahmad Karate, a popular man here. The US has placed a five million dollar bounty on his head. He is seen as playing a key role in the planning and execution of attacks in Somalia and beyond. He's never given an interview, but while US drones fly around us, he sits down with me under the canopy of the trees. Ah. These graduates will soon be sent into action. Al Shabaab leaders know that the west is running out of patience with the Somali government. Funding for the African Union mission here has been cut year after year and many of their soldiers have been killed. They also have their own issues to deal with at home and are scheduled to leave Somalia in 2024. Al Shabaab are playing a waiting game. Well, what did you think about that, Mr. Tanner, while that. That guy got that interview? That's what I just kept thinking. I just kept thinking, man, that's crazy. This guy's actually interviewing these people. But it really, it's a perspective that I don't ever see or hear. Well, I think it's interesting that the right wing of this country and Mr. Karate have the exact same idea. Islam and democracy are incompatible. That's what I hear all the time in the Republican Party. And now I hear it from the leader of Al Shabaab, one of the primary leaders. So there's some congruence there. Think of the pressure and problems that creates for the Somali immigrants in this country. They either assimilate or they're saying that they're incompatible. I mean, these are deeply. These are deep issues that require really deep thinking and deep conversation. And that's what we're going to do here at Free People Radio, and that's what we're going to do at Minnesota Speaks, and that's what we're going to do at these community meetings. But that's a view into where some of this money might be going. But what we've learned, what we know from research, is there's a war between the people in Puntland, which has a border on another political entity called Somaliland. There's a war there. There is a lot of killing going on there. And to the extent that we can understand how we got here, we gotta go back and look at the colonial period, which we're gonna look at now in terms of Israel and the modern situation, because it's the same thing, but a little different. Who turned all these people against each other? Well, they probably always were fighting, just not with this kind of weaponry and not with this kind of money at stake. This man was talking about it being a war on his religion, and he probably believes that, and I thought he was a very compelling figure. But what's happening is in this war, there's people getting killed wholesale, and American foreign policy is involved in it. Do you know that there's been over a hundred airstrikes by our military into Somalia, into Somalia, to kill these people. Just this year we're deployed there. So you got to get out your map and take a look at why it's important to the US Government, to President Trump, for example, to be focused on this region. And that has to do with money, money, money. The resources that are in this region are in the trillions waiting to be extracted. This is a fight over resources. And take a look at that Indian Ocean, the Red Sea, and the Suez Canal. Take a look at. We got a lot of countries vying for control here. The UAE is in here. The Saudis are in there. The Qataris are in here. This is a very complex problem. We need to sort it out, but we also need to understand how serious this is. People are dying and what an incredible burden this is for the taxpayers of Minnesota, that this money is getting robbed and possibly unproven. Could just be, you know, people ripping us off. But when billions go missing, that kind of feels like foreign policy to me. Someone's foreign policy. Someone's. And let me just say, either it's the secret government of the United States foreign policy or it's some tribal policy. The effect, the outcome is the same. There's a war here that justifies the forever deployment of the American military into this region. And all the bombs and missiles and hardware that gets deployed continuously getting refreshed. Remember, if you're in the military business, you can't get another order for bombs unless the inventory gets used up. And man, they're, they're using up a lot of inventory here. And when I see killing, personally, when I see killing, I want to do everything that I can to alleviate that suffering. And as a friend of mine says, find some way to trade some form of cooperation so that we can coexist. These, these people are in their own frame of mind. I'm not here to democratize them. Myself, personally, I think that they need to have Somalia for the Somalians. And if the Somali landers and Somalians need to work it out, let them work it out. But let's remember that colonial intervention has scrambled this region for hundreds of years and that problem continues to this day. And so for Ilhan Omar, speaking in her native tongue, representing the interests of her tribe and her clan, and we're going to demonize her for that, let's just talk.

Fifteen years later, the cinema is taking its first steps. Cameramen employed by the Lumiere Brothers filming at Jerusalem Station provide the first moving pictures taken in Palestine. From now on, the camera is a recording eye and what it records is a society much like that of Cairo, Damascus or Beirut in an Arab city much like any other. By the end of the 19th century, Palestine has 500,000 inhabitants, of whom 30,000 live in Jerusalem. A veiled woman, a Sunni Muslim, one of the majority, an Orthodox Jew. He too turns away from the camera. Here we have an Armenian Pope each each of the Christian denominations has its church. Here in the Holy City. The holy places of the three religions are scattered across a few hundred square meters. The Great Mosque is close to Christ's tomb. Further along, at the foot of the Wailing Wall, a Jew is reciting a prayer. He is wearing a Turkish tabouch and an although he prays in Hebrew, his everyday language is Arabic. Jews form half the population of Jerusalem, but in the country as a whole they make up less than 5% of the total. Christians account for 10% and Muslims 85%. All of them are subject to of the Sultan of Constantinople. There are no frontiers in the Ottoman Empire. There are administrative divisions in which in this immense territory, Palestine occupies a mere 27,000 square kilometers, made up of three small districts in the south of the province of Damascus, the same empire in the 17th century. In the meantime it has lost the Balkans, France and Italy have seized North Africa. England has moved into Egypt, Aden and even Kuwait. And let's play number seven, talking about the colonial intervention into this region. When you think Palestine, you may think violence, land seizures and a decades long Israeli occupation But what you might not know is that another country played a driving role in causing the region's Imperial Britain. From 1516 to at least 1917, Palestine was under the control of the Ottoman Empire, a religiously diverse land where Christians, Muslims and Jews lived alongside one another at peace for the most part. Then in the early 1900s, a small number of European Jews were trying to drum up support for Zion and the establishment of a Jewish homeland. Just 20 years before, in 1897, the movement led by Theodor Herzl was initiated at a conference in Switzerland. They decided that they would advocate for a Jewish homeland in Palestine. But the movement at the time didn't have much support and at the time only around 8% of the population of Palestine was Jewish. At the same time, Arab nationalism was on the rise and many Palestinians wanted an independent state. Imperial Britain knew of both ambitions of of Zionists and Palestinians and used the situation to bolster their own interests. In 1914, amid World War I, Britain went to war with the Ottoman empire. And in 1915, Henry McMahon, Britain's representative in Cairo, approached Arab leaders with a proposal. Britain would agree to Arab independence if they helped fight against the ottomans. Then in 1917, Britain's foreign secretary wrote a one paragraph letter to Walter Rothschild, a leading figure in the British Jewish community. It read His Majesty's Government views with favor the establishment in Palestine of a national home for the Jewish people and will use their best endeavors to facilitate the achievement of this object. This letter became known as the Balfour Declaration and it was in stark contrast to a declaration of the British and French armies in 1918 which assured the people of Syria, Palestine and Mesopotamia of autonomy. So what was going on? Britain had promised independence to the Arabs that lived in Palestine, but then also promised a homeland for Jews on land that was already inhabited. Was Britain just transferring land that did not belong to them to whoever they liked? When the Ottoman empire collapsed in 1918, the League of Nations gave Britain a mandate or administrative control of Palestine. In 1920 it was a dual mandate. On one hand they were to act on behalf of Palestinians, but on the other hand they were to act on behalf of the international community of Jews who wanted to establish a homeland. Britain then drew up arbitration borders transferring the eastern bank of the Jordan river to the Hashemites. It was under the British mandate that Jews from Europe began to immigrate to Palestine and buy up land. The Jewish population in Palestine grew tenfold, from 60,000 to more than 600,000 between 1918 and 1947. Many Palestinians saw the mass influx of Jews as a European colonial movement. So as one might expect, it led to conflict. In 1929, riots broke out at the Wailing Wall in Jerusalem. Both Palestinians and Jews lost lives. In 1936, after Jewish immigration increased even more, more riots broke out. This time the British were heavy handed and killed between 2,000 and 5,000 Palestinians. A royal British Commission concluded that because Britain had allowed mass immigration, Palestine had two distinct societies that couldn't be reconciled. They recommended a partition of the land. The Arab Higher Committee rejected this this saying it was all their land. Britain then banned the Arab Higher Commission. They introduced the white paper of 1939. It stated that Palestine should be a binational state inhabited by Jews and Palestinians, but that Jewish immigration would be limited for five years. But illegal immigration still went on and violence continued to erupt. And when Britain couldn't handle the mess they had a part in creating, they handed the country back to the UN in 1948. The UN then decided to partition Palestine. The story gets a lot more complicated after this. But the British promising land which already belonged to Palestinians to other people has played a part in decades of conflict and bloodshed. Well, there's a bunch of really interesting information there, isn't there? Those damn British. Well, you know, it's interesting that migration was used. There was only. What did they say in the first piece? Jewish population in Palestine was 5% in 1900. And we know that the Rothschild family spent a billion dollars in today's money to resettle Eastern European Jews into the Palestinian area into what they called the Holy Land. And it changed the politics of the region. And that wasn't an accident. That was a well orchestrated, well financed migration as we've just suffered here in the United States of America under the Biden administration. I hear Some people say 20 million people came in in four years, 10 million, 15 million, whatever the number is, which we don't know, it's going to change the nature of this country. And it was done intentionally to change the nature of this country. And look what happened in that country. We had a 5% population of Jewish people that lived in harmony with their Arab neighbors. And in 50 years the country had been completely changed and set up an ongoing and forever conflict in the region which actually is related to the conflict in Somalia in Somaliland. So the mass migration of that period was a predicate for the mass migration in our current time. Look at the havoc that migration as a weapon causes downstream. And we're suffering with this now. We the people are suffering with this. Let's just say that we organized, went to caucus. Everyday citizens got involved in the political parties with one goal, for transparent and honest government. And we closed all the intentional loopholes that are there which allow us to be robbed. Because obviously when billions of dollars get robbed, it's just like the migration. It's not an accident, you know. Do you know why you lock your door, Tanner? Do you know why you lock your door at home? Keep enemies out? No, to keep honest people from stealing. Why? The thief will just kick your door in. Oh, well, I guess. Okay. So when you have a business system like a government and it can be robbed for billions and billions of dollars, they didn't even put a lock on the door. There's no lock on the door. We're always going to have fraudsters and they're going to, you know, like you got a gas card, you work for the state of Minnesota and you fill your own tank instead of the government tank. Yeah, that's just petty fraud. Hard to stop that. People suck. Yeah. But when billions go missing, we have a systemic, we have a systemic and organized effort to allow this kind of thing to go on. At least that's my opinion. And that's why I got down on Mary Fransen. And that's why I don't want to hear a bunch of blaming between the parties when I listen to candidates blame each. No, this is an all of government problem. And what I want to hear the Democrat and Republican leaders all say together en masse, wow, we got a problem, let's work together to fix it. Wouldn't that be cool? But obviously this group isn't going to do it, or at least most of them aren't. That's why wouldn't it be cool if all of us got involved in politics, went to caucus and started to elect regular good people that just wanted government to be by the people, for the people, of the people. And then guess what would happen? All these billions of dollars that are disappearing and going over to that region in remittances wouldn't be going over there. Here comes winter.

It ends. You have to fund a war. If there's no money for the killing, the killing stops. You want to cut the killing off, cut off the cash. It's very simple. So we have to be focused on our local politics. I'm showing an international picture right now. We're going to continue in this vein. But if we make our local politics about our local people and quit focusing on stuff that we can't solve like over there, what can we solve? We can cut the cash off, we can stop the bleeding. We can focus on the well being of Minnesota citizens. We can get focused on our neighborhoods, our educational system here. And once we do that, and if everybody does that, let the Somalia people do that for Somalia, let the Somali landers do that for Somaliland, Let us all be concerned with our local action and then we're going to have an upgrade in the well being of all world citizens. But no, no, no, we're not to that point we have a big movement, 30, 40, 50 million Christians in this country that are united in their support of Israel. And I was looking at Mark Levin's posts and he put up an article from a Israeli newspaper criticizing Tucker Carlson. Because Tucker Carlson is, you know, asking why is there all this? And they're trying to paint Tucker out to be an anti Semite. And this, that doesn't soul and I don't pay that much attention to it, maybe said some anti Semitic things and if he has, you can come to me and bring it to me. But I think what we're really dealing with here is could we please, at $38 trillion in debt, be focused on our own country? Could we please heal our own children who are sick and unwell? Could we damp down on the chronic disease here? Could we compress morbidity and extend longevity by making our schools about enhancing the well being of our children long term instead of training them to be dweebs and cogs in a machine, which is policy teachers. Yeah, you're participating in that. Okay, could we just learn how to be well, how to be tied in with each other to form a community of people that actually love one another? What happened to that? Well, I'll tell you what happened to was deep sixed by the progressive movement. And now we have this big group of people in this country, Protestant Christian Zionists who are supporting Israel, full throat. And here's Tucker Carlson standing up against it. And he's actually said it's a mind virus. I'm talking about Christian Zionism. Well, let's go back and remember that Christian Zionism popped up in Great Britain 50 years before there was Jewish Zionism. Why did these British pastors and Christians start touting this Zionism, which is the return of the Jewish people to its ancestral homeland. Well, they read the Bible, which can be read a lot of different ways, and they interpreted it in a certain fashion, which actually benefited the British colonial enterprise. The French had a claim to the Holy Land because of the Catholic roots in that Holy Land. The Russians had a claim because the Eastern Orthodox Church was there. But the British, the Protestant British, that had broken off from the Catholic Church over differences. Let's just say we don't have time to get into it today. They really didn't have a claim to the Holy Land. And we were getting to that point in world history where they were still robbing and stealing. But we got to the point where you needed an excuse. Previous to that, they just rolled the gunboats in and killed everybody. And nobody was looking for excuses. But as life evolved and people got more domesticated, to use a word that Tanner used recently, we had to have legal justification for why we were doing things. So guess what? These Christian Zionists working with the British government, came up with a story. And when I say came up with the story, that's where I'm going to be sticking to that. The Jews needed to be back in the homeland because that would presage the return the second coming of Christ. Okay, great. And it grew into a giant international movement. And what does it really do? It gets people focused. Not on their local community, not on their local church, but they're focused on bringing back Christ because that's going to solve all their problems. Great. God's going to come from the sky and take away everything, make everybody feel high. It's a. It's something that really weakens local political engagement and puts people in a frame of mind that is otherworldly. And I'm not against the other world. I just say, well, what justifies this? What is the scripture that it stands on? And I'm going to tell you, being familiar with the scripture, I understand what they're reading there, but it can be read a lot of different ways. Play number eight. A prominent Christian Zionist, Mike Evans. Hello, I'm Mike Evans, and I'm the founder of the Friends of Zion Heritage center in Jerusalem and the Jerusalem Prayer team with its 30 million followers. And I am a Christian Zionist. Tucker Carlson has come out against Christian Zionists. Here's what he says. I dislike them more than anybody. That's amazing. Anybody. Because it's Christian heresy, and I'm offended as a Christian. He calls it a brain virus. Christian Zionism. Now, Zionism is the belief in the Jewish people's right to return to their homeland. From this book, a Christian Zionist should simply be defined as a Christian who supports the Jewish people's right to return to their homeland. The biblical foundation for Christian Zionism is found in God's covenant with Abraham. It was this covenant that God chose Abraham to birth a nation through which he would redeem the world. To accomplish this, he bequeathed them a land in which they could exist as a chosen nation. It's all in your Bible. Christian Zionism is confirmed through the Holy Scriptures. The major and minor prophets consistently confirmed this national calling on Israel, promised her full redemption to the land after a period of exile, and spoke of her spiritual renewal and redemption bringing light to the world, which is the route of this replacement theology. Now, Tucker Carlson and I debated once before, by the way. Tucker, you lost that debate and I challenge you to another debate, a debate on Christian Zionism, because you claim to be a Christian, but everything that we believe is based upon the Bible, based upon the promises of God which we don't believe for one second have been nullified or canceled. This is the Bible land in Israel. God called the Jewish people back to this land and we are not infected with the disease in our brain. We are led by the spirit of God and the word of the living God. And I want to say something to you that are listening to me right now. I want you to look at what Tucker Carlson has said. He's only one of dozens that are coming out right now. They claim to be MAGA who are coming out right now attacking this, attacking this Bible and claiming to be Bible followers. And I want you to speak up and not remain silent. Here's why. In Germany, there were 40 million professing Christians in the evangelical church. 40 million of them birthed out of the Great Reformation. But guess what they did. They bought into an ideology similar to what Tucker Carlson is saying. They bought into it and out of it they supported the Chancellor. They said God sent the Chancellor, the trains run on time and they put swastikas on their altar and they supported the Nazi party. And 6 million of my people died. 5 million adults and 1 million children. I was strangled and left for dead by a Jew hater father when I tried to defend my Jewish mother. So I know all about antisemitism and I know how this can be fueled through the words of people like Tucker Carlson. So I want you to do something right now. Below you're going to see a place to get your name and information so you can stand up and speak up and not be silent against these who are attacking the state of Israel, the Jewish people and the word of the living God. And then I want you to also check on the box debate Mike Evans, Tucker Carlson debate him on this subject because you claim to be a Christian and you're saying that what he believes about Zionism is heresy. What is the word of God? We're just simply Bible believers. We believe the promise to Abraham, I will bless them that bless thee. And by the way, Tucker, we believe America has been blessed because of this. You may not know this, Tucker, but a gentleman by the name of Columbus who was called Cologne, he came out of Spain because of the persecution of Jews. And he wrote, I will discover a vast land that'll be the home of Christianity and a refuge for the Jews. America has been blessed because they blessed the Bible and God's plan for our nation and and his plan for the nation of Israel. It's all the promises of God. And if you cancel them to the Jewish people, you cancel them to Christians. Tucker Carlson so I want to encourage you to fill out this proclamation of support for the Jewish people and the word of God and challenge Tucker Carlson to debate me on this very subject. Thank you and God bless you. That was interesting with Mr. Mike Evans, who has got a Jewish mother, which means he was Jewish, and he believes in Christ, which means he and I have something in common. This script, all the biblical references that he is standing on is in this script, which I've been reading my whole life, Genesis 11:15. And I've been thinking about it my whole life. And I want to say in preference to my final comments tonight, I'm discovering this with you. I'm not so bold as to say I know the truth. I'm searching for truth. I do know that the movement of the Jewish people into Palestine at the time, that wasn't an accident. That was a financed mass migration intended to serve the purposes of the British crown. The people that went there originally were not Jews. They were socialists. Now, let's get into this just for a second. There's a tribal identity, Somalian, a tribal identity, Judean, Jewish. A tribal identity, a political polity. When Christ went into the temple and confronted the Sadducees and the Pharisees, the Uni party of the day and flipped over their money changing tables and demanded that people rediscover that they loved the Lord their God, with all their heart and all their soul and all their might, and to love their neighbor as they wish to be loved. When he demanded those two Great commandments of a group of people that had the form of religion but actually were practicing a tribal political economy. Hey, you know what? That's a very interesting thing for us to contemplate, because a tribal consciousness, as Ilhan Omar said, were Somalians first and Muslims second. Okay, well, then, hey, what is our identity and how are our identities being used? I am a believer in God first. I was born as a Jew here in America, but I'm an American second. I don't really believe that Tucker Carlson is an anti Semite because let me tell you how this works for me. I can feel it. I remember when Royce White and I first met. The reason I met him is a guy named Michael Brodsky called me up and said Royce White was an anti Semite. Don't worry about him. He's getting into the political race, but don't worry about him. He's an anti Semite. I said anti Semite. I've been seeing him on Bannon. I didn't feel any anti Semitism in Royce, and I still don't. And yet they're still going to paint him. And some of these people paint me as being anti Semitic. For what? Because I want to focus on my local neighborhood. I want to focus on my community. I want to focus on making a better life for my children. A better life for Tanner and his child. I can't agree with a philosophy that what the Jews called. Because there was, you know, let me tell you, in the Jewish community for years in the Talmud, which is much reviled now, there is something called the three oaths. And these oaths were about the return of the Jewish people to Israel because we pray all the time. Next year in Jerusalem, the three oaths that Israel should not quote go up as a wall, meaning that mass immigration or rebellion against the nations they lived in was prohibited in the Talmud. Concomitantly that nations should not oppress Israel too harshly. The Talmudic scholars knowing that there was anti Semitism and that three, the Jewish people should not rebel against the governments of the nations they lived in. That was what it was religiously for the religious believers until the religion started to break down with the advent of socialism. And when the Rothschilds funded a communist socialist movement in Eastern Europe which included the mass migration of these socialists to Israel, all of the original people that were there were socialists. They set up a socialist state which functioned up until Benjamin Netanyahu started to turn it into a more market economy. For what? To fund the war, more money, more violence. So my family, very Orthodox, they could have gone to Israel. They knew what was going on. They could have had their trip paid for, but instead they went all over the world to get to the United States legally and they came here for Republicanism, economic freedom, religious freedom. They wanted to be sovereigns of their own lives. They didn't want to live in a socialist godless state. How do you square that circle? I believe in God, but I'm thrown in with the socialists. That doesn't work for me as a believer in God, as a Jewish believer in God. And it certainly makes me wonder about the Muslim people who are wearing headscarves and are still allegedly Muslim. But they're supporting the left. That doesn't work. Those people are godless people that are God fearing need to live God fearing lives now this Mike Evans Support for the show comes from Public, the investing platform for those who take it seriously.

And I know it's very comforting when I read that book to believe every line of it, that every line of it is the revealed word of God. And if I just followed everything in that book, I'd be great. Do we live in an information war? Do you believe everything you read in the New York Times, the Washington Post, or what you see on cnn? Do you have confidence in the information that you see on acts or on Getter? Because if you have confidence in it, I'm going to tell you I do not. I read a wide range of sources and I try to involve myself with people who give me firsthand accounts, like I've got some friends now that are Somalilanders that live in other countries that are communicating with me, teaching me about what's going on in the region. I didn't get that information here. I had to go outside the my bubble to get that information. And boy, is it informative. And I'm still not sure it's right because how do I know? I'm searching for truth. So I say to you, do you know that the Bible is a constructed book, that the Catholic church put it together over hundreds of years? What was in it, what was not in it? Are you aware of that, Tanner? Yeah. The King James version. What is the title of like the Bible with all the books? Is it the apothecary? I don't know how to say it. Yeah, I think I just butchered the pronunciation. But yeah, it Wasn't it the 1600s? King James, he got a bunch of scholars together and then they basically constructed the Bible that we had. Well, that was the King James version, but I mean the original formation of the books was like 3, 400. This started in the Catholic Church. Okay. And I'm gonna just say I can feel. And this is where feelings are so important. When the words of a prophet come off that page, like, I can feel it. When Christ says, why don't you get the log out of your own eye first before you start criticizing the cinder in the eye of your neighbor. Oh, that's got import. I can feel it. I know it's right some of this stuff and I know people are going to get mad at me. Some of it, Some of it, it's a little bit scary the way it gets read because it can be read a lot of different ways. I know Genesis 11:15. I probably read it the first time when I was 7 years old and I read it in Hebrew. We have a political movement, Zionism, which was originally a socialist movement, which was used to destabilize a region to protect the Suez Canal and the new oil field that had been discovered in Arabia, to plunk the Jews down in a middle of a tribal stew pot and then arm everybody and put them to war, killing each other for generations. I don't think Tucker Carlson is anti Semitic. I think he wants us to fix our country. I born here as an American Jew, my loyalty is to rule of law in America. I want America to work for Americans. My grandfather came here for a reason. I could be living in Israel and I got cousins that are living there and God bless them, let them sort out what they're doing. I don't want to see my country destroyed by the Balkanization. That's associated with everybody thinking that their idea about the Bible is correct. And on top of it we got nuclear weapons and so do a lot of other people. Don't you find it a little bit strange that we have the most advanced technology, we can kill everybody in an afternoon. But our politics is being driven by interpretations of a holy text that was put together by church thousands of years ago as if there was no information war then. If the devil exists, if you believe in God, you believe in the devil. We can't have one with the other, without the other. That's the yin yang, right? If we believe there's an information war now, wouldn't there have been an information war in the year 300 when the only people that could read and write were priests? How easy would have been to put in things at that time? Why is it that all these religions are predictively programming us for Armageddon? Is that what our goal is here is a bloodletting on a worldwide basis? Yeah, that's where they're all united. Islam, Christianity, Judaism, they all have the story of an Armageddon and the ushering in of a new age on the other side. Well, could we get to the new age on the other side without everybody dying. Because right now everybody thinks they're right. Everybody is pointing out the cinder in everybody else's eyes instead of doing the internal work that Christ encouraged us to do, to put sin underfoot within our own lives so that we could love our neighbor as we wish to be loved. Yet these people are all too happy, all too happy to fund a forever war to continue in a tradition that goes back not to Jewish thought. I just told you what the Talmud said. There is no ingathering on a political basis. That is a religious deal. Now of course that was a minority view once the Jews started getting out of Europe because they were hated and they were being killed and they needed a place to go. America did open its arms to the Jews. Kind of. Kind of not 100%. Still to this day. I know there's people that are going to hear me. They're going to say the Jews and the Somalis both need to go. Well, now we get down to the issue of American citizenship. And what do we believe as American citizens? Do we steep ourselves in our founding documents? Do we steep ourselves in understanding how this deal is supposed to work? Do we sort out the problems in our country? Do we have a set of principles and stick to them? Or do we participate in worldwide empire that was set up by the British? We stumbled into it as the American people, not our leadership. Our leadership went on the payroll, but the people, we the people had this beautiful paradise as Mike Evans was identifying with Christopher Columbus. And it's been given over to internationalism and globalism and foreign adventurism and a trillion dollar military budget. Well, we have 89% of the citizens with no equity in anything. But we're doing great. Got a trillion dollar military budget this year. And what justifies it? The Middle East, Islamophobia, defending the state of Israel, the Jews, because we have so many Christians that believe that the Jewish state presages the return of Christ. But I want to tell you what the Jews believe because I don't think Christians know this. Mike Evans might not know it, maybe he doesn't. He wants to gloss over it. What the religious Jews believe is the Messiah comes back when we're ready for it. In other words, when we have God living in our hearts and we act in a godly fashion, the new age begins. Isn't that interesting? We have a concept in Judaism called Tikkun olam, the repair of the world. You can't repair the world if you keep digging the hole deeper. If you keep digging the hole Deeper by everybody killing each other all the time, by having a political economy based on violence and death, a culture of death, from abortion to nuclear weapons. Don't expect things to come out very good. They're not going to come out good. We live with the omnipresence of death. That does not justify hurrying it along. That is forbidden in the Jewish religion. But the British Empire found a way to speed it up. They found a whole political ideology and funded it so that millions of Christians, instead of working in their local communities and going to vote, were looking for a great God to come from the sky and take away everything and make us all feel high. 30 million Christians in this country do not vote. And our country is being run by the godless. Does this make any sense to you? No. It does. I, I, at least I'm falling. I feel like I'm falling. But does it make any sense that 30 million Christians would not vote? Oh, I'm sorry, I didn't understand that question. That makes no sense. I don't understand that. And that is something that I learned through this last election, that Christians just don't vote. But I don't know, I guess it does make sense though, because I get their thought process. If you're comfortable with God and you're just like, well, humans can just do whatever they want. I got God on my side and when my time comes, I'm in heaven. So if you're a Zionist, a Christian Zionist, and you love the Jewish people, love this. We are responsible to repair the world. That is what politics is all about. It's not about hating each other. It's not about being victorious. It's about repair. It's about redemption and reconciliation. Don't let these political forces tear our country apart and Balkanize us into little groups that hate each other. Take a look at Somalia and Somaliland, or Israel and Palestine, or Ukraine and Russia. All over the world there's people hating each other. They bleed red. They have children, they die. Why are we hurrying it along? Couldn't we extend our life and compress our morbidity? And nothing is more morbid than taking around. That's a quick end. So we're funding it. Our tax dollars are funding it. President Trump is trying to end these wars. He's focused on ending these wars. He's focused on making things affordable. We got to get into our local communities and spread the word. We got to determine what our principles are, which is the philosophy of Republicanism. And we got to move people away from whatever crazy ass ideology they've been sucked into and get them in the search for truth. And I'm going to say this in closing. I'm trying to discover this with you. I don't have the answer for myself. I'm not so vain and self assured to say I've got it figured out. But one thing I do have figured out. I've got to end the sin in my own life. I have to be tireless in my pursuit of truth. I have to give over to making for a good community to provide for the common good. Let's figure out how to do that together. Lest we find ourselves in an Armageddon, lest we find ourselves watching our children die right before our eyes. Let's try to avoid that. And for all the people that are suffering that in Somaliland, in Somalia, in Israel, in Gaza, in Ukraine, I pray for them because our tax dollars are funding their suffering. I pray for them because I am responsible for it. And how do I change that?

Episode Title: Christians, Zionists, and Ilhan Omar
Release Date: December 19, 2025
Host: David Penn ("Professor Penn")
Theme: A deep-dive into immigration, Somali-American politics, fraud allegations, Christian Zionism, the Israeli/Palestinian conflict, and the philosophical roots of American citizenship.
This episode explores the heated current debates around Somali-American immigration and fraud in Minnesota, the rhetoric of former President Trump and Representative Ilhan Omar, the funding and political impact of Somali remittances, and how these local issues link to wider questions about Zionism, Christian support for Israel, and the manipulation of American identity. Professor Penn threads intensive local politics together with international history to question how tribal identities, migration, and religious movements shape American and global politics, often steering away from solutions focused on local, democratic, participatory governance.
(05:40–13:30)
(30:44–45:30)
“There's $4 trillion of known oil reserves in Somalia... and when you got these clans, these tribes... they're killing each other for access to resources.” ([52:20])
(55:40–01:03:30)
“If people are here illegally, they gotta go. It’s just that simple… it’s not focused on Somalis. It's about rule of law.” ([58:14])
(01:11:45–01:23:30)
“If you know there's fraud... you stand up, and you say, I am here to defend the citizens of Minnesota.” ([01:15:22])
(01:26:00–01:34:20)
“This is a strange thing for an elected American representative... to be in Somalia talking about representing the interests of Somalia in our government.” ([01:41:05])
“If we're going to condemn Ilhan Omar for representing the interests of Somalia in our Congress, how can we do that and not condemn the Jewish people that do it?” ([01:43:18])
(01:51:00–02:07:00)
“That guy got that interview? That’s crazy… But it really, it's a perspective that I don't ever see or hear.” (Tanner, [02:04:18]) “The right wing... and Mr. Karate [Al Shabaab leader] have the exact same idea. Islam and democracy are incompatible.” (Penn, [02:05:10])
(02:09:40–02:20:00)
“Migration was used... the Rothschild family spent a billion dollars in today's money to resettle Eastern European Jews into the Palestinian area... it changed the politics of the region.” ([02:16:40])
(02:26:00–02:45:00)
Explains Christian Zionism originated in Britain before Jewish Zionism, arguing it provided colonial Britain with “legal justification” for controlling the Holy Land:
“It actually benefited the British colonial enterprise... These Christian Zionists working with the British government, came up with a story.” ([02:34:30])
Plays prominent Christian Zionist Mike Evans’ statement defending Christian support for Israel and calling Tucker Carlson’s critiques “a brain virus” ([02:40:30]).
Mike Evans: “Christian Zionism... is based upon the Bible, the promises of God... Tucker Carlson, you claim to be a Christian, but everything that we believe is based upon the Bible.” ([02:41:25])
Penn underscores the paradoxes and contradictions: that most original Zionist settlers were secular socialists, while Christian Zionists today cite biblical prophecy to bless the modern Israeli state.
(02:50:00–03:02:00)
“When I read that book [Bible], to believe every line of it... but do we live in an information war? Wouldn't there have been an information war in the year 300...?” ([02:57:00])
(03:02:20–End)
“Wouldn't it be cool if all of us got involved... and started to elect regular good people... of the people? And then guess what would happen? All these billions of dollars... wouldn't be going over there.” ([02:22:50])
On American Citizenship:
“We are the only country on this planet that is united not by nationality... not by religion... We are united by a set of philosophical ideas. America is next level.” ([01:01:20])
On Identity, Remittances, and Foreign Loyalty:
“How can we [as American electeds] support another nation’s interest from inside of our government? ... The Jews do it, but are a step ahead—videos deleted.” ([01:43:18])
On Political Paralysis:
“When you get this kind of intellectual power in your state governance, it's not hard to see why we're getting ripped off for billions of dollars.” ([01:17:20])
On Fraud, Migration and Policy:
“When billions go missing, that kind of feels like foreign policy to me. Someone's foreign policy. Someone's.” ([01:33:50])
On Scriptural Authority:
“Do we live in an information war? Do you believe everything you read in the New York Times? ... If you have confidence in it, I do not.” ([02:57:00])
On Christian Zionism and U.S. Foreign Policy:
“What does it really do? It gets people focused not on their local community, not on their local church, but on bringing back Christ because that's going to solve all their problems.” ([02:35:00])
On the Responsibility to Repair:
“We are responsible to repair the world. That is what politics is all about. ... Don’t let these political forces tear our country apart and Balkanize us into little groups that hate each other.” ([02:59:00])
Professor Penn’s approach is deeply analytical, passionate, and unapologetically critical of both mainstream political parties, identity politics, and religious dogmatism. The podcast combines historical deep-dives, policy critiques, and philosophical musings, often through metaphoric and rhetorical questions. There’s a populist, anti-elite flavor but with a call for civic involvement and personal accountability. A strong thread throughout: Only a return to principled, republican local governance—not tribal or global entanglements—can mend American society.
If you want an unfiltered, panoramic look at how local American politics, global migration, religious identity, and foreign policy intersect—and how solutions must begin at the local level—this episode serves as both a warning and a call to civic action. With memorable critiques, a tapestry of history, and open-ended questions about truth and loyalty, "Christians, Zionists, and Ilhan Omar" is a stirring reminder of the stakes and possibilities in our political moment.
