Podcast: Real America’s Voice
Host: Mike Crispi
Producer/Co-Host: Frankie
Air Date: February 8, 2026
Episode Overview
This episode of Last Call with Mike Crispi delivers a highly charged and controversial exposé on what the host claims is massive, systematized welfare fraud connected to Somali immigrant communities in Minnesota, which he alleges is intertwined with Democratic Party operatives and politicians. Crispi delves into historical refugee resettlement, contends that organized fraud is being perpetrated through daycare and healthcare facilities, and sharply criticizes broad policies around immigration, entitlement programs, and urban management. The second half of the episode pivots to a discussion on New York City’s management under left-leaning, “third world” leadership, and urgent conservative legislative priorities on voter ID.
Key Discussion Points & Insights
1. Alleged Somali Welfare Fraud in Minnesota
- Origin Story: Crispi says Somali resettlement in Minnesota began decades ago as an act of charity, but argues that it spiraled into unchecked, NGO-enabled immigration, leading to what he alleges is a vast fraud and organized crime network ([05:00–07:40]).
- Alleged Coaching and Enablement: He claims that the Somali community is being “coached” to exploit welfare systems, calling the community “skillless” and “perfect” for exploitation by “vile, vicious, globalist, anti-American leftists” ([07:40–09:30]).
- Connection to Democratic Party: The host explains his view that politicians like Tim Walz (Governor, D-MN), Kamala Harris, Ilhan Omar, and Keith Ellison (Minnesota Attorney General) are either enabling or benefitting from this system, with fraud “washing” money back into political coffers and campaign donations ([05:10–13:25]).
Notable Quote
“The biggest scam in the history of America… this goes up to the top, I think this goes to the bottom.”
— Mike Crispi, [05:12]
2. Fraud Mechanisms Explored
- Exploiting Social Security & Benefits: Reference to a claim (originally seen in a viral Elon Musk meme) that deceased Somalis are still receiving checks because families do not report their deaths ([13:30–17:12]).
- Clip: An (unnamed) investigative source notes Minneapolis and Lewiston police “never remember responding to a Somali DOA [dead on arrival],” implying systemic non-reporting of deaths to keep social benefits flowing ([16:30]).
- Fraud at Daycare & Healthcare Centers: Nick Shirley and John Rocker (MLB pitcher) are cited/played in clips as on-the-ground investigators showing office parks with dozens of government-funded health or daycare businesses, all seemingly closed or hostile to questions ([44:30–1:04:00]).
Notable Quote
“What are they doing with the bodies?”
— Anonymous Investigator, [16:50]
“These people live completely different. How could you be called racist for saying that?”
— Mike Crispi, [18:22]
3. Alleged Political Protection and Impunity
- Keith Ellison Clip: Audio is played allegedly showing Ellison admitting he could not have been elected without Somali voters. Crispi sees this as proof the numbers game—not civic participation or business growth—is the main concern ([27:22]).
- Minnesota State House Hearing: Segment played of a representative alleging Ellison is caught on tape trading campaign contributions for favors, while Democrats block attempts to discuss or act ([30:35–33:45]).
4. Analysis of Political Tactics
- COVID Relief as “License to Steal”: Tim Walz announcing $56 million in daycare COVID relief is cited as blatant evidence of collusion and “coordinated” criminality ([38:45]).
- Clip Analysis: Nick Shirley’s and John Rocker’s confrontations with Somali daycare operators display, in Crispi's view, the closed nature of the fraud and community protectiveness ([1:04:20–1:13:05]).
Notable Quotes
“These are the central members of it. Ilhan Omar does a fake attack on herself; she's right at the center of it…”
— Mike Crispi, [39:08]
5. National Expansion and Urban Impact
- Fraud Spreading to Ohio: Host claims the scam is being replicated in Ohio and poses a national threat if Democrats gain more control in other states ([1:13:10]).
- “Third World” Takeover Rhetoric: The episode’s tone grows more general and alarmist, warning that U.S. cities (like New York) are being run into the ground by corrupt, “third world” politicians and unchecked incoming populations ([1:16:17]).
6. Critique of New York City and Liberals
- NYC Management: Host draws a parallel between welfare fraud and New York’s fiscal issues under the new mayor, accusing “Zoran” (presumed stand-in for a leftist, foreign-born official) of failing core civic tasks.
- Escalating Taxes, Deteriorating Services: Segment on snow removal, bus accessibility, and infrastructure woes; laments city’s decline attributed to a reliance on “subhuman” voting blocs and loss of European-American character ([1:16:17–1:30:10]).
Notable Quotes
“New York City is a shell of itself. Buses don't run on time, the subway is dirty and slow, the homeless are all over…”
— Mike Crispi, [1:21:00]
“30% of New York City households rely on EBT… How is that a sustainable process?”
— Mike Crispi, [1:25:00]
7. Call for Conservative Legislative Action: The SAVE Act
- Urgency Around Voter ID Law: Crispi lambasts congressional Republicans, especially John Thune, for failing to push through the SAVE Act, which he believes is essential to securing future federal elections ([1:33:00–1:41:00]).
- Republican Incompetence: Host threatens that if the party can’t accomplish this, he (and presumably listeners) should abandon the GOP after Trump ([1:40:12]).
Notable Quote
“If they cannot pass the SAVE act, the whole thing will need to be ripped down… they have proven they can't do anything.”
— Mike Crispi, [1:41:40]
8. Gerrymandering/Redistricting in NY
- Example of Democrat “Playing for Keeps”: Judge throws out a Republican district map in NYC (Staten Island/Southern Brooklyn) for not being “minority enough”; host asserts Democrats push hard, while Republicans fold ([1:42:30]).

Conclusion
This episode of Last Call is a sweeping, inflammatory commentary on immigration, welfare policy, election security, and urban decline, seen entirely through the lens of conservative, populist grievance. The host alleges that Somali immigrants in Minnesota serve as the foot soldiers in a vast, Democratic-facilitated fraud network, accuses leading politicians of abetting or benefiting from the scam, and connects these local events to wider trends of civic and economic decay in American cities. The episode ends on a call to arms for passage of the SAVE Act as a “litmus test” for Republican seriousness, threatening party abandonment if it is not secured.
