Key Discussion Points & Insights

1. Inauguration of NYC’s Mayor Zohran Mamdani (01:23–07:50)

• Benny Harmony opens the show with concerns about New York City, painting its current trajectory as a “collision course with communism.”
• Focus is placed on Zohran Mamdani's historic inauguration as NYC's first Muslim and immigrant mayor in a century, sworn in on the Quran rather than a Bible.
  • Benny describes Mamdani as a "communist" and zeroes in on what he views as radical, collectivist rhetoric.
  • Notable quote from Mamdani’s speech:

    "We will replace the frigidity of rugged individualism with the warmth of collectivism." (03:25, Mamdani via Oscar Ramirez)

  • Benny ridicules the symbolism and the presence of progressive icons like Bernie Sanders and AOC, referencing Mamdani’s personal life to cast aspersions on the sincerity of his social policies.
• Adam Nieberg joins, linking Mamdani’s rhetoric to historical socialist and communist leaders, suggesting dire consequences:

  • "It's something that we've seen under Stalin, something we've seen under Lenin...We see the warmth of collectivism surpassing rugged individualism." (08:11, Adam Nieberg)

• The significance of Mamdani being a Muslim and an immigrant is heavily debated, with both Benny and Adam accusing the new mayor of embodying a rejection of "American values."

  • "This is a Christian nation. We have made that very clear...Is there anything New Yorkers should be warned of that maybe they haven't heard?" (09:45, Benny Harmony)

  • "When you have folks coming out and saying this country must assimilate to their way of life...That's absolutely ridiculous. We're a country founded under Christian values." (10:33, Adam Nieberg)

2. Policing, Crime, and Urban Policy (12:16–15:26)

• The episode draws parallels between New York and Chicago, with its own left-leaning leadership.
  • Adam Nieberg critiques "soft on crime" approaches and recounts Illinois’s experiences with no-cash bail laws, sanctuary policies, and rising crime.

  • "We've spent $3.4 billion on illegals...when Governor Pritzker and Brandon Johnson have put the citizens last...Safety and security has left Chicago." (12:48, Adam Nieberg)

• Benny references a Breitbart report highlighting 2,300 shootings in Chicago during 2025, using it to argue for the failure of progressive urban governance.

3. Election Outlook for 2026 Midterms (17:13–24:06)

• David Zia dives into granular details of House election forecasts, redistricting lawsuits, and battlegrounds.
  • Current polling suggests a slight Democratic edge, but pending Supreme Court cases like Louisiana v. Calais and state-specific redistricting could alter the landscape.

  • "120 of the last poll releases say it's going to go plus four to the Democrats. So it's not looking great." (20:01, David Zia)

  • Detailed breakdowns of vulnerable seats and possible swing districts in states like Texas, North Carolina, California, Ohio, Missouri, Utah, Maryland, etc.
  • Notes the importance of unity in the GOP:

    • "The Republicans better unite like Mike Johnson said at Amfest. The Democrats are always united." (23:36, David Zia)

• Adam Nieberg expresses hope for a Republican resurgence in Illinois, tying success to mobilizing low-propensity voters and increased financial support:

  • "Populism wins in the state of Illinois...That's how we take back Chicago—through that populist message with free market conservative principles to go with it." (15:54, Adam Nieberg)

4. Minnesota Somali Fraud Scandal & Media Coverage (26:22–35:05)

• The show praises 23-year-old independent journalist Nick Shirley for alleged uncovering of massive fraud schemes in Minnesota involving Somali daycare and healthcare businesses.
  • The panel lambasts “mainstream” and “leftist” media for purportedly ignoring or attacking Shirley’s findings.

  • "They believe that investigating the fraud is a bigger crime than the fraud itself." (30:46, Justine Brooke Murray)

  • They cite accusations that local politicians and officials are complicit or negligent, repeating claims that independent journalism is now superior to legacy outlets in exposing fraud.
  • Justine Brooke Murray offers a broader critique of institutional media, suggesting a pattern of defending “the worst of the worst” so long as the accused fit a certain narrative.

  • "They are experts at lying and covering up for their narrative. A lot of people are sick of seeing that now...They would rather put their trust in a kid who has a million times more integrity." (33:35, Justine Brooke Murray)

5. U.S.–Venezuela Tensions and Trump Action on Drug Cartels (36:57–43:41)

• Benny and correspondent Oscar Ramirez discuss U.S. airstrikes on vessels associated with Venezuelan drug trafficking.
  • Walls remain militarized on the Venezuelan border; Oscar explains risks journalists face from local crime groups and Venezuela’s authoritarian crackdown.
  • Oscar Ramirez:

    "The regime of Nicolas Maduro, this narco terrorist, will immediately hold [Americans] captive...Americans, you know, they cannot be even close to these perimeters." (39:49, Oscar Ramirez)

  • Maduro signals willingness to negotiate on drug trafficking, but hosts warn against trusting him.
  • Oscar suggests most Venezuelans support U.S. pressure on the Maduro government and predicts continued destruction of cartel-linked boats:

    • "I believe United States authorities are going to continue to destroy these boats...potentially distributing all these synthetic drugs illicitly." (42:52)

6. Cultural Commentary—Hollywood & Netflix (44:11–49:24)

• Benny laments the “woke” direction of Netflix’s "Stranger Things" following a scene where a character comes out as gay.

  • "It has nothing to do with the story. It is there strictly to educate the watchers that a character is gay now after five seasons...The Woke Mind virus still has Netflix in its clutches to make sure it makes everything woke and gay." (47:54, Benny Harmony)

  • Benny frames inclusion in children's media as cultural aggression, associating it with the “Biden woke agenda.”

7. Lighter Segment—Comedy Clip from CNN NYE (50:28–52:08)

• To wrap up, Benny features a humorous moment from CNN’s New Year’s Eve coverage, where comedian Amy Sedaris jokes about the best place to meet a man in 2026:

  • "I'd say in the ladies room, but I don't know." (51:13, Amy Sedaris)

• Benny argues that America needs more humor to lighten the current cultural climate.

[Benny Harmony]

Good evening and welcome to Stinchville Tonight. My name is Benny Harmony and I'm filling in for my all time favorite grant. And I just want to wish everyone a very happy new year and especially those of you that are living in New York City. You truly have my thoughts and prayers, to say the least. The once great city is sadly on a collision course with communism. And at this point, people seem hopeless. They're worried that nothing can be done. Take a look at this. This was just from yesterday.

[Adam Nieberg]

So proud of what you have accomplished.

[Benny Harmony]

And I'm filled with joy about what we will accomplish for our beloved city over the coming years. And so with that, let us begin.

[Adam Nieberg]

Please repeat after me. Raise your right hand.

[Benny Harmony]

I. I, Zoran Kwame Mandani.

[Oscar Ramirez]

Zoran Kwame Mamdani. Do solemnly swear. Do solemnly swear.

[Benny Harmony]

That I will support.

[Adam Nieberg]

Support the Constitution of the United States.

[Oscar Ramirez]

That I will support the Constitution of the United States.

[Benny Harmony]

Yes. Okay. Zoran Mamdani, your new communist mayor. He was sworn in at the stroke of midnight on January 1st. Now, as you just saw, that was New York Attorney General and mortgage fraud suspect Letita James. She was performing the swearing in ceremony where Mayor Mamdani, he took his oath over the Quran. Now this is important, guys. This is the first ever New York City mayor to do so over the Quran and not the holy Bible. Now in his speech he promised to uphold the United States Constitution and that of the State of New York. Now of course we know that he has no such intentions. We know this because his entire campaign was centered around those same anti American ideals that he was pushing. At his swearing in. He literally warned the world of his intentions to dismantle everything that makes America America and makes this country great and continues its greatness. Take a listen.

[Oscar Ramirez]

We will draw this city closer together. We will replace the frigidity of rugged individualism with the warmth of collectivism.

[Benny Harmony]

Ah yes, the warm embrace of collectivism. We've heard a lot about this and now you can see it right here. As noted socialists we have Bernie Sanders, AOC was there. They fight away the aloofness of individualism at Mamdani's speech by huddling together in a massive empathet socialism. They shared a blanket as the metaphoric cold reality of what's facing New York City now. You know, if you know what I mean. It's bad. Take a listen. And during his inauguration, inauguration speech, Zoran, he pulled no punches when it came to embracing his deeply held communist doctrine which we hear so much about now. He used the Marxist language of murderous dictators before for him, clearly sowing the seeds of division, split across class lines and rallying his base. Now his base is these unfortunate immigrants who likely have fled the exact same conditions that Zohran is promising in New York City and you know, staunchly in the power of the state that he has no problem repeating the line from I'm the government and I'm here to help. Now was has the government ever been here to help?

[Oscar Ramirez]

Beginning today, we will govern expansively and audaciously. We may not always succeed, but never will we be accused of lacking the courage to try. To those who insist that the era of big government is over, hear me when I say this. No longer will City hall hesitate to use its power to improve New Yorkers lives.

[Benny Harmony]

So he again promised that he would use his newfound power to take from the haves and give to the have nots now a winning message that as any student of history knows, has led to the deaths of hundreds of millions. Listen to this.

[Oscar Ramirez]

Here where the language of the New Deal was born. We will return the vast resources of this city to to the workers who call it home. Not only will we make it possible for every New Yorker to afford a life they love, once again, we will overcome the isolation that too many feel.

[Benny Harmony]

But I mean, it wouldn't be a socialist gathering without opulence on display. Right. As with any communist regime, wealth is concentrated in the hands of the state. And only those at the top of that regime are allowed to flaunt their wares. Because come on, I mean, nothing says we're here for the poor like that $630 pair of boots on your screen. As you can see, this was worn by Rama, who is Zoran's fiance or girlfriend, whatever you want to call it. And so of course, as this new power couple, they continue to dangle their lavish taste in front of the city. It should really come as no surprise that Mamdani's speech attendees were told that the celebr would be a sort of block party, if you may, where one might expect food and music and fun. But guess what? We have learned that no party was put into place. No food vendors, no music, and surely no fun. Only the wailing sounds of a loud mouthed waitress. This is a good one. Zohran Mamdani will be the first Muslim mayor of our great city. He will be our first immigrant mayor in over a century and he will be the youngest mayor of New York City in generations. But most importantly, Zohran will be a mayor for all of us. I want to bring in our guest to discuss this and the beginning of the end of New York City. Right. Well, our next guest, Adam Nieberg, he knows the effects of a Democrat run city very well, the leftist government in Illinois. He is in the Republican House. Adam Neimerg, good evening.

[Adam Nieberg]

Good evening. Thanks for having me on.

[Benny Harmony]

Yeah, of course. Listen, you know Chicago, you know how corrupt the state of Illinois is. And I'm worried that Chicago is frankly going to become the next New York City. So tell us, what do you, what do you make of Mamdani's speech that he gave at his inauguration? And what is this signaling to the American people?

[Adam Nieberg]

I think it's absolutely terrible to see what the new governor of New York has said to the people of New York. And it's a situation where we have a socialist, a democratic socialist, basically a socialist communist at the helm in New York City. And this is where, you know, hope and change gets you. This is where redistribution of wealth gets you from the Obama years here in the state of Illinois, with Obama coming from Illinois. So it's something that we've seen under Stalin, something we've seen under Lenin, something that the American people fought against for over 60 years during the Cold War. But now we see the warmth of collectivism surpassing rugged individualism. Well, I come from a small business household. My grandfather was a Farmer. My father ran a business. Business. And if it wasn't for their rugged individualism, we wouldn't have two pennies to rub together. And that's what's going to happen in the city of New York when the power goes out, when nobody can afford to live. They're going to come wondering, they're going to come asking. In this issue that we have in New York, okay, this is, this is an immigrant who has come to New York. They're, they're, they're talking about that particular issue, the fact that he's a Muslim. Well, when people used to come to this country, they used to come here and assimilate and think there was something great about the founding of this country. Now these folks are coming to our country saying that it must be changed, that it was founded in an erro, that that has to be a socialist agenda that they're putting forth for the American people and the city of New York and as well as the city of Chicago. So it's something that we need to be very careful about because we've gone from nine, 11 under Rudy Giuliani to a mayor who is a devout Muslim who wants to change New York, who was sworn in under the Quran. It's very, very dangerous.

[Benny Harmony]

And yeah, Adam, I want to. You mentioned the Muslim aspect of things, and I think this is where a lot of people are very wary of this due to the Ra Islam that we're seeing across the country and, and the harm that it's causing to Americans. What does this signalize that he was sworn in over the Quran? This, this, you don't have to like it, but this is a Christian nation. We have made that very clear, and the president makes that very clear. Do you believe that the, the New Yorkers should, really. Is there anything they should be warned of that maybe they, they haven't heard? I mean, you, you know how Chicago is. You've witnessed this throughout office. I just, I want to get further in on that Islamic aspect of things and how, how damaging it can be to America.

[Adam Nieberg]

Well, absolutely, it can be very damaging. We've seen in Australia just recently with a mass shooting. We've seen many mass shootings here in this country as a result of Muslim terrorists, the radical Muslim terrorists that we have throughout the United States. So it's something very dangerous. I don't think the Muslim community as a whole embraces this radical ideology. But when you have folks coming out and saying that this country must assimilate to their way of life, these immigrants coming and saying this country must Be changed to fit their needs, the Quran or whatever Sharia law that may be acceptable. That's absolutely ridiculous. We're a country founded under Christian values. We are a constitutional republic where the rugged individual is here to thrive. Not under collective socialism that we've seen under Stalin where people starve, you have bread lines and millions of millions and millions of people have died as a result of collectivism of socialism. We saw in the Ukraine in the 1930s, we saw it in the 1940s, we saw it in the 1950s, 60s, 70s. And then we saw the fall of the Soviet Union under Ronald Reagan. And now we're seeing this happen in New York. So folks in New York, if I were you, I'd probably leave the city. Especially if you ran a business Chicago the same way. There are great folks in the city of Chicago, but we have radical leftists such as J.B. pritzker and Mayor Brandon Johnson that are driving the ship here in the state of Illinois. And the really scary part about this is these, these, these enclaves of progressivism, New York, Chicago, they control the entire state when it comes to politics because the vast majority of the state representatives and state senators come out of these large cities. So the rest of the state suffers as a result of these woke outrageous policies.

[Benny Harmony]

And Mamdani, he has said numerous times that he will refocus policy or policing away from locking away the bad and instead focusing on mental health. Now Chicago has a similar approach in these last few years already in action. And we know Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson favors a soft on crime approach. But what do you make of these promises? Do you really think you'll have any success when it comes to reducing crime by being softer on crime? Adam, I mean, tell me, does that, does that make sense?

[Adam Nieberg]

No, absolutely it does. And you saw Rudy Giuliani in the eighties in New York and what he did to bring safety and security back to the folks of New York City. We see the city of Chicago, we see the Safety act in the state of Illinois which allows violent criminals no cash bail to be released. We see sanctuary state policies here in the state of Illinois. We've spent $3.4 billion on illegals, on health care, housing, transportation, cell phones, what, you name it, we've spent it here in the state of Illinois when Governor Pritzker and Brandon Johnson have put the citizens last. And we have got a major safety and security issue in the state. In the state and also in Chicago, there was a tree lighting ceremony, a Christmas tree lighting ceremony in downtown Chicago where folks were shot. Safety and Security has left Chicago. It's trickling out into the suburbs. And now we're having an issue, not only in the city and the suburbs, but just recently there was a Coles County. Coles county board member in my district who was. Who unfortunately suffered a death as a result of a drunken illegal immigrant in a vehicular homicide. So this is an issue that we have in the state of Illinois, in Chicago. And the mayor of New York, if he's trying to emulate what J.B. pritzker and Brandon Johnson have done in Illinois, he's going to fail.

[Benny Harmony]

Okay, so, Adam, this brings me on to my next question for you. So, as we discuss Chicago, I'm seeing this Breitbart report, which it highlights. I'm going to Read this. Nearly 2,300 shooting incidents which occurred in 2025 under Mayor Brandon Johnson. It's true. You know, these leftists do absolutely nothing to combat crime. And we've spoke about this a lot. But violent crime, how does this ever get resolved? Knowing the stranglehold that leftists hold over Chicago and other major, major cities? Are you guys worrisome?

[Adam Nieberg]

We are worrisome, but also very hopeful. There are great people in the city of Chicago. I hear from them every single day. Great people in the suburbs and with safety and security restored to their great city and to the state of Illinois. And I'm sure the folks in New York feel the exact same way. The polling on this issue is negative for Governor Pritzker and Mayor Johnson. That's why they are rallying their troops in the suburbs and in Chicago, saying that there's nothing to see here, there's no crime in Chicago when there actually is. So Republicans need to make sure they do their job, get folks out to vote. And we need to get rid of folks like Governor JB Pritzker and replace Mayor Johnson. There is an opportunity to do that, but it must be done properly. People are fed up. They're tired of this. They're tired of not being able to walk on the streets. They're tired of being able to not be able to walk down the magnificent Mile and shop. Chicago has become a desolate ghost town under this terrible liberal policies, and it's time we change that.

[Benny Harmony]

Yeah. So Illinois Democrat Senator Dick Durbin, he's announced that he will not be seeking reelection. Now, we are very, very happy this in Illinois, but with all of that happening in Chicago and the destruction left from those Democrat policies that Durbin put into place, a lot of them. Do you think there you mentioned earlier that you do feel hopeful. Is there a chance that Senator Dick Durbin can be replaced by a Republican?

[Adam Nieberg]

There's always a chance. There's always a, there's always momentum. The momentum is definitely going our way in the midterms. I think President Donald Trump is doing an outstanding job. I think that, that there is an opportunity here in the state of Illinois. But that has to be head on. And the reason I say that has to be met head on because there's two things that need to happen. We need to get low propensity Republican voters out to vote. They did that in Pennsylvania, flipping Pennsylvania over for, for, for Donald Trump. Jack Bob and Cliff Maloney did that. We need that same type of attitude here in the state of Illinois. And secondly, we need the financial backing to do that. The Democrats here in the state of Illinois have a machine of cash where we need to be able to match that machine of cash. We have better ideas. We have much better ideas, but we need to meet it with cash and we need to get the low propensity Republican voter out. And lastly, we need to have the same message that President Donald Trump did. The so called country club Republicans, they don't win here anymore. Populism wins in the state of Illinois. When you have a president such as Donald Trump get the message to the people. That's how we take back this state. That's how we take back Chicago through that populist message with free market conservative principles to go with it.

[Josh Whalen]

It.

[Benny Harmony]

Well, Representative, thank you so much for joining us this evening and happy New Year.

[Adam Nieberg]

Happy New Year. Thanks for having me on.

[Benny Harmony]

Of course. Now, on the subject of where do we go from here nationally, the big conversation we're hearing a lot about is 2026. It will undoubtedly be the biggest, I think, and most important midterm election. Now, many on the right are really fearful that the GOP will lose their House majority this time around and they're citing poor pol and inability to get anything done in the way of passing President Trump's agenda. On top of that, 44 congressional representatives will be retiring or not seeking reelection. Now to break that down, that is 25 Republicans and 19 Democrats putting the GOP majority.

[David Zia]

Benny will be right back with us. I'm David Zia for Real America's Voice News. And we're talking about the midterm elections here. And the Dems still are leading by four seats in the aggregate of the last 120 released polls of 2025 and plus four of the last 13 since around Thanksgiving. And the Cook Political Report is estimating the best case now is the GOP could pick up 11 seats and seven to the Dems, netting about four for the GOP. It's already tight. It's like 220 to 213 for the Republican majority. Two special elections coming up, one for Mikey Sherrill's seat in New Jersey, which is expected, a Democrat. And then we have the special election in the 18th district in Texas where, where Democrat Al Green was districted out of the 9th district down there. But gains could be made with each party with these redrawn maps and battleground districts within the supreme. With the Supreme Court decision pending now for Louisiana vs Calais where the Democrats redistricted based on race. If that's kicked out, it could be very good for the Republicans and the states to watch. There's a of states to watch here. Texas can go plus three with or five GOP seats, but two seats for Cuellar and Gonzalez might stay Democratic. Al Green district out of the ninth again is running in Texas 18. But North Carolina has a new map which is stuck for the Republicans. They already have, I think 10 of 14 seats in North Carolina. They may gain an additional GOP seat in the first district for Don Davis. And there's two other districts that are vulnerable for Greg Murphy and Chuck ed in the 11th and 13th. But we're going to get into that. We're going to bring you right back to Benny Harmony.

[Benny Harmony]

Hey, David, thanks for, thanks for that. We had some technical difficulties on, on my end, but what were you, what were you saying? What, what is, what's your take on the Republican holding the majority going into the midterms? I mean, we know how crucial this is. Do we, can we, can we do it?

[David Zia]

Well, 120 of the last poll releases say it's going to go plus four to the Democrats. So it's not looking great. But we also have Louisiana vs Calais pending there with the Supreme Court just explained that if that goes into the Republicans favor, that could be beneficial. But the states to watch, Texas, North Carolina, California is going to go three to five seats blue. Ohio plus one for the GOP with a new bipartisan map drawn. Missouri plus one for the GOP Facing lawsuits though voters can change a new map in a special election, I think through a referendum. Not sure of the timing on that. Utah, they. They had to redistrict and one seat's going to be gained for the Democrats. Their court ordered, you know, a ban of partisan gerrymandering. Maryland plus one for the Dems, Virginia plus two or three Maybe even four. Redrawing maps with statewide referendums though coming Florida plus two or three to the gop. And the Dems really can't challenge it because the Supreme Court is conservative court down there. But there's leaning races red which could go for the GOP favor. Louisiana plus one, they're awaiting Louisiana versus Calais, Alabama plus one, the same thing. Kansas plus one and so many other races. Illinois plus one for the Dems. New York plus one for the Dems. But Laura Gillen and Long island here could be vulnerable. So it could be a wash with no net gains for the Dems. Maybe one seat, maybe possibly two in Wisconsin could go one or two for the Dems pending the Supreme Court decision Also and Congressional Quarterly's roll call. Benny has campaigns targeted that 10 Democratic seats are vulnerable in California, Maine, New Mexico, New York, North Carolina, Ohio, T.E. and Washington. And the Washington examiner has further races. Gabe Evans, Republican in Colorado's 8th district is vulnerable. The district is more diverse. Ryan McKenzie squeaked out a victory last time in the 7th district. That could go Democrat. The Hispanic vote could tip it blue. It's increased. Marionette Miller Meeks in Iowa spent a lot of time in Iowa. Southeast Iowa, very liberal. It's a very tight district. She's vulnerable there. Juan Siskamani, the Republican in Arizona 6 is vulnerable, facing a female US Marine named Joanne Mendoza. Tom Keene in New Jersey, they three seats in Jersey may go Democrat represented Jen Kiggins in Virginia in the 2nd district, Virginia beach area. There's so much going on there, I probably will keep it, but it's vulnerable. Tom Barrett, Republican in Michigan, 7th district, only one by four last time. That's in play. Gabe Vasquez, like we said in New Mexico, has a comfortable lead, but he took the seat of Yvette Harry Harrell as a Democrat after Yvette Harrell took a job in the Trump administration. So that may or may not stay Democrat. And Greg Landsman in Ohio could go red in the first District. And we got these Senate races. Benny. Georgia Ossoff has a war chest. Three Republicans lined up, including college coach Derek Dooley, which has Kemp's backing. Mike Collins, Buddy Carter, two sitting congressmen. We'll see how that unfolds. And don't forget Texas. John Cor Corn Cornyn defending himself in a primary. And the winner of that will face three Dems, including James Talarico, who's raised a lot of money. Colin Allred, Jasmine Crockett, God help us all. So much going on. There's a lot to follow we're trying to stay ahead of it. Only 10 months, 11 months until early voting starts. Benny. It's right around the corner.

[Benny Harmony]

Well, David, we appreciate your hard work on tracking these races. These are going to be very important for us to have. So final thoughts. David, about 15 seconds left. Anything, anything else?

[David Zia]

Well, the Republicans better unite like Mike Johnson said at Amfest. Right. To paraphrase him, they got to be on the same team because the Democrats are always united. And what happened in Virginia is a bellwether for the rest of the country. I think the DSA gains ground nationwide. These Gen Z candidates can't. Gen Z people are facing student loan debt and can't buy a house. They're bitter. And the American Affordability act from the Democrats like we covered a few weeks ago in Capitol Hill. Hill is going to be the cornerstone of the Democratic platform for the midterms.

[Benny Harmony]

Well, David, thank you so much. Have a great new year. I'll see you very soon. And it is time to talk gold. Okay, gold is up around 40% this year. Now that is not speculation, that's reality. And if a portion of your savings isn't diversified into gold, you are missing the boat. Okay, here is the facts. I'm breaking it down for you. Inflation is still too high, the US dollar is still too weak and the debt is insurmountable. This is why central banks are flocking to gold. But it's not too late to buy gold from Birch Gold Group. They can help you convert an existing IRA or 401k into a tax sheltered IRA. In gold you don't pay a dime out of pocket. How great does that sound? Just text America to 989-898 and claim your free info kit. There's no obligation, just useful information. 989-898 Text America America. And with all going on in Minnesota which we've heard a lot about, the billions in fraud being uncovered there, the media has gone radio silent. That's next. Stay here.

[Benny Harmony]

Welcome back. I'm Benny. From this evening, Somali fraud has been the big topic on the docket these past few weeks. Now this is because independent journalist Nick Shirley he broke the news on millions of dollars of fraud being smuggled through daycare centers in Minnesota. Now a majority of Americans and the Trump administration are praising Shirley for his work uncovering the truth. But as you guys probably know, the leftist media. Well, not so much. Take a listen. In this one, the Trump administration is most focused on Minnesota. That's where a right wing influencer posted a viral video last week that set off a MAGA firestorm about fraud allegations, leading Republicans to again attack the mainstream press and falsely accuse reporters of not covering the story. The White House joined in a spokesperson saying the country should be deeply appreciative to Shirley for shining a light on this issue. The legacy media should take notes, referring to that content creator who has posted inaccurate and anti immigrant videos in the past. I just want to let her know it's pronounced maga, not maga. But I find it very strange that on MSNBC they are claiming that his posts were inaccurate, which it's hard to believe because if you watch the videos you can clearly see the empty daycare centers. They were empty and they have no children being taken care inside of these daycare. But of course leftist media for some reason seems to be picking the side of the Somalian fraudsters rather than the American people. Here's another clip. Who is he? Like who, who gave this guy license to go around and say I couldn't get in the day court daycare centers.

[Justine Brooke Murray]

The doors were locked.

[Benny Harmony]

Like nobody should be able to walk into a daycare center because the doors are locked. These random vigilante justice. Something that people in this country know a lot about. These random vigilante justice seekers who ordain themselves like some sort of sort of law enforcement expert. Like He's a random YouTuber. And I just find it laughable that the Party of the self proclaimed pro.

[Justine Brooke Murray]

Life people are celebrating cutting off funding to children.

[Benny Harmony]

Tiffany, let's give him some credit where he's due, okay? 23 years old. He is 23 and he uncovered more than any mainstream media could. So you want to call him a random vigilante justice seeker? I would just say he's a justice seeker. He's exposing the fraud that's pouring in through Minnesota and the millions of tax dollars that is being taken away from us, the American people. Yet fake news media is attacking Shirley over anyone else. You know, it's also rich that they are saying that it's not how you investigate fraud. Well, I'd like to ask them, Tiffany. Well, if that's not how you investigate fraud, how come they haven't exposed the story? The fact that it took an independent journalist to go out and uncover this instead of you, who probably has a college degr and has all the, all the trophies from your media things you've won. The fact that you're attacking him because of this, I mean, you're either just jealous or you're just in on the fraud. I'm not quite sure which one. I mean it's truly just. It's plaguing America, plain and simple. But here on Real America's Voice, let me tell you guys one thing. We will gladly give Nick Shirley the credit that he deserves as well as any other conservatives out there that want to support speak out.

[Adam Nieberg]

Look, this young journalist, Nick Shirley, goes.

[David Zia]

Out there and finds more evidence of.

[Adam Nieberg]

Fraud in one day than Tim Walls.

[Oscar Ramirez]

And our Attorney General Keith Ellison have.

[Adam Nieberg]

Found in seven years.

[Oscar Ramirez]

Why did he find it? Because he looked for it, Molly.

[Adam Nieberg]

While Tim Walls and Keith Ellison have been looking the other way, billions of dollars have been stolen from Minnesota tax taxpayers. You've got the child care centers that he showed you. There's 80 autism centers that are under investigation.

[Benny Harmony]

Joining me to discuss MRCTV video host Justine Brooke Murray. Justine, great to see you.

[Justine Brooke Murray]

Thanks for having me.

[Benny Harmony]

So, Justine, with Nick Shirley exposing all of the fraud that's happening in Minnesota. Why do you think these major news outlets outlets are attacking Shirley rather than any of the officials who allowed this to happen?

[Justine Brooke Murray]

Yeah, of course. Well, they believe that investigating the fraud is a bigger crime than the fraud itself. But the legacy media, they are run by they their career so called journalists received six to seven figure salaries to cover defend the worst of the worst dirt balls on the planet. They believe that the people who want us conquered are entitled to our lives. And whether it's Somali fraudsters or alien Gang bangers. They will either deny their crime on the first day that it gets reported by independent journalists, then they'll defend it. Then they'll make them the media martyr of the week. They won't be able to decide whether they're going to be the new Kilmar Abrego Garcia or whether it's going to be a Jesse Smollett case. Because they're on already hyping up that things are. That are definitely lies about these Somali fraudsters now claiming, oh, well, our documents just happen to get stolen. They just happen to go missing. As if the dog just ate my homework. But it's so funny, that clip you showed of Abby Phillips talking about vigilante justice when the left priest, Luigi Mangione, all they do is promote killing people. People eat, quote, unquote, eating the rich, murdering CEOs, because, well, they make too much money and they're the bad white guy. And it reminds me of how MSNBC is crying how these Somalis are just simply being scapegoated when they love to scapegoat every white CEO. They support Luigi Mangione getting charged with killing the guy. When these fraudsters, they make a million times more money.

[Benny Harmony]

Money stealing.

[Justine Brooke Murray]

Stealing things.

[Benny Harmony]

You had the.

[Justine Brooke Murray]

We have allegations now of the Somali ambassador to the UN and also they're a Minister of Foreign affairs, both opening up health care companies in Ohio. And there are a bunch of other empty healthcare companies and daycare centers there, too. And they're making tons of money. But we're just supposed to pretend this is all kosher. There's nothing, nothing wrong or shady going on here. We should just, you know, cover our eyes.

[Benny Harmony]

Now, Justine, I think you hit it right on the head there. They're continuously standing up for the fraud just because they don't like this administration. And, you know, the amount of people that are in on this fraud. I would like to know the list, just like I would like to know the list of the Epstein files. But, you know, Justine, why do you. Why do you believe that it took someone like just or not, Justine, you are right here. Like Nick Shirley, you know, a young individual just like us. Why do you think it took him going to do this for people to finally open their eyes? Did they just not want to see it?

[Justine Brooke Murray]

They don't want to see it.

[Oscar Ramirez]

Our.

[Justine Brooke Murray]

Our network dilettantes. Unfortunately, they've captured for way too long the trust of the American. Of the American public because they've used their fancy schmancy college degrees. I've gone to college with some of These people, they graduated, graduate, and they come, they become legacy career liars. And because they have a big name backing them or a big institution, people automatically believe them because they call themselves experts when they're just experts at faking. They're just experts at lying and covering up for their narrative. And their narrative is that the West, America, we are evil. Everything that we've earned and worked for because we are successful clients, culture, it's, it's wrong, it's unfair. So that's why the worst of the worst have the right to just completely wipe us out and conquer us. And a lot of people are sick of seeing that now they're realizing, suddenly they're realizing that they've been lied to all these years. So they would rather put their trust in a kid who has a million times more integrity. A kid who got his start in high school making YouTube videos and get paid, gets paid nothing for, for it, has to fundraise for security in order just not, not to get beat up or assaulted while doing these investigations. They would rather trust him, understandably so, than the people who have been lying to them and, and also conducting fraud, media fraud, propaganda fraud for decades.

[Benny Harmony]

Well, Justine, thank you so much. Before we go, tell us where people can find you on social media. Media, certainly.

Thank you, Justine. Coming up next, the Trump administration is not backing down when it comes to dealing with drug problem coming out of Venezuela. And it seems Nicholas Maduro wants to make a deal. We'll talk about it next.

[Benny Harmony]

Welcome back. I'm Benny Harmony filling in for Grant Stitchfield. Tonight, tensions inside Venezuela and along its borders are becoming extre high. Now, earlier this week, President Trump confirmed that a U.S. airstrike was carried out against a company allegedly involved in the distribution of chemical substances. Now since this confirmation, the Department of War has also confirmed that continuous airstrikes on multiple vessels by Joint Task Force Southern Sphere. Now, due to the escalation, the Venezuela government, they've reportedly began mobilizing their National Guard across multiple border regions. This is in, in a potential response, a potential ground level threat from U.S. forces. Democrats are of course in the business of opposing any action that President Trump and the administration does, and that includes defending Venezuela. Drug traffickers make it make sense. But now they, the president, they want the president to escalate scenes with Russia instead of Venezuela. Venezuela, okay. Now the same people that have been for weeks whining and crying about President Trump blowing up these drug boats and capturing oil tankers, they're now telling the Trump administration that they want to capture tankers that are supporting Russia. Okay, so the, the homeland, the supporting, instead of defending the homeland against foreign cartel terrorists, these Democrats want to escalate the war in Russia. Okay, sorry, just trying to make sense of all, all of that. Now with the United States and President Trump finally putting their foot down, we, we've been waiting for four years since the Biden administration for something to finally happen. Nicolas Maduro is now getting uneasy with the potential revenue loss for Venezuela. Here, here, take a listen to this. We need to start a serious conversation with facts in hand. The US Government knows this because we told many of its spokespeople that if they want to seriously discuss an agreement to combat drug trafficking, we're ready. Maduro is now saying that Venezuela is ready to discuss an agreement to combat said drug trafficking. Yet they are holding Americans hostage to build leverage against the U.S. i mean, that alone should signal that Maduro cannot be trusted. And once again, like we all know, America does not negotiate with terrorists. Now joining me now to discuss is real America's Voice correspondent Oscar Ramirez. Oscar, good evening.

[Oscar Ramirez]

Thank you, Vinny Ray for the invitation it's always an honor to be with you.

[Benny Harmony]

Absolutely. So Oscar, let's jump right in. You were recently on the ground at the Venezuela border. Can you give us a little recap of your visit and what you saw?

[Oscar Ramirez]

Yes, we were five days in the Venezuela border, just steps away from the border that saw a mass migration on 20, 23 of Venezuelans, millions of them and Simon Bolivar next to the entrance to the state of Tachira. And also we went to another border, Francisco Paula Santander. Both of the borders they were high level and high tension. The National Guard was deployed on every single spot that they particularly think that they can be threatened by possibly the United States authorities entering on the ground or they don't even expect where they are going to enter, but they are in high tension. There was a high tension deployment also. We were at the bridge of Simon Bolivar. They are so afraid of American media or international media being particularly close to them. They send a guy on a motorcycle, particularly from a colectivo group, that these groups are just organized crime groups. Send them to me to say if I continue recovering court and if I continue to inform, they will push me to the other side to hold me captive. This is the thing that you were signalizing about. Americans, Americans, you know, they cannot be not even close to this perimeters of the borders because the regime of Nicolas Maduro, this narco terrorist, will be immediately hold to captive and everything, you know, that involves Americans being close to Venezuela. It is an international threat.

[Benny Harmony]

Wow, Oscar, were you fearful at all while you were there? I mean that sounded, that sounds very scary.

[Oscar Ramirez]

Yes, we were with a couple of security guys that we were on our team. But we are just so accustomed to these kind of situations that we know how to act now with calmness and we know how to respond to them. But immediately we saw the motor guy going back to the port of entry and talking to the National Guard of Venezuela. He was sent by them towards us getting the information out of what is actually happening inside of Venezuela. Venezuela actually with this narco terrorism. Nicolas Maduro, that is the way we need to designate them that. By the way, we talked to hundreds of people from Venezuela. A lot of them, they don't want to talk on camera because of the persecution of Nicolas Maduro. If you speak badly of Nicolas Maduro inside of Venezuela or if you're in your mobile telephone, you have bad information off him, you can go to prison for almost 30 years for terrorism. So a lot of them, they were not speaking on camera but off camera they were talking, telling us they're sick and tired of it. They want this. They completely agree with Donald Trump, designating them as anarcho terrorists. The regime trend Cartel de los Oles, all of these fractions of organizations of cartels that they were created by Nicolas Maduro, the regime of Chavistas and also the Odal Cabello and Padrino Lopez. So a lot of the majority of the people, more than 12 million migrants of Venezuela are scattered all over the world. This means to tell you that the regime needs to change and Nicolas Maduro needs to be suffocated and removed out of office.

[Benny Harmony]

And Oscar, a little bit more time. Do you, do you think that more land strikes may follow if Maduro continues to refuse to step down from power? How far do you think Trump is willing to go? 30 seconds.

[Oscar Ramirez]

Well, this informative report was released by Prima Sol. That is the company that is close to the part of Maracaibo Salo de that is steps away from the dock area where they are launching these boats and these boats that are being destroyed by the United States government. So Prima Sol released a statement saying that it was an explosion, that it was not a direct attack by the United States authorities. Maduro is not going to inform to his population because if he says that he was recently attacked, it will raise and it will rise people protesting against them. So I believe that they're going to continue. The United States authorities are going to continue to destroy these boats that they're potentially, you know, distributing all these synthetic drugs illicitly to the parts of Colombia, north and Central America. So I believe that they're going to continue. Yes.

[Benny Harmony]

Well, Oscar, thank you so much for your hard work that you're doing over there and giving us the, the full overview of what's going on worldwide. Really, really appreciate it.

[Oscar Ramirez]

Thank you so much, Benny Ray, for the invitation. God bless everybody.

[Benny Harmony]

Up next, Netflix has released the finale for their show Stranger Things and the people are outraged to say the least, as they of course made it woke and gay. We talk about it.

[Oscar Ramirez]

The radical left knows exactly what they're doing.

[Adam Nieberg]

They want to steal the election.

[Oscar Ramirez]

We're going to walk down Pennsylvania Avenue to peacefully and patriotically make your voices heard. Events in Washington have taken a violent and tumultuous turn.

[Benny Harmony]

January 6th wasn't just a moment in history.

[Justine Brooke Murray]

For thousands of Americans, it was the.

[Benny Harmony]

Moment their voices were taken.

[Adam Nieberg]

It's insurrection.

[Benny Harmony]

They were persecuted, hunted, seditious conspiracy. But behind prison walls, something unexpected happened. They found their voice again, started singing the national anthem.

[Adam Nieberg]

We took it up to him at Mar a Lago.

[Oscar Ramirez]

He goes, I'll put my voice on it. Our supporters made this go platinum.

[Benny Harmony]

Real America's voice is telling the real story of of January 6th like you've never seen it before. Everybody, this must be peaceful. This is not the story you were shown.

[David Zia]

I take responsibility.

[Benny Harmony]

This is the story they lived government.

[Oscar Ramirez]

Entrapment scheme that this actually was.

[Benny Harmony]

The J6 Patriots are no longer staying silent. They are speaking.

[Justine Brooke Murray]

They are standing and they are telling the truth.

[Adam Nieberg]

You can't kill us.

[Josh Whalen]

You can't beat us.

[Benny Harmony]

They tried to silence them. Instead, they woke up an entire nation. The sleeping giant coming soon. Welcome back. I'm Vinnie Harmony filling in for Grant Stitchfield this evening. Now Netflix is at it again. Okay, Stranger Things. This has kind of been a turning story here these past few days. It's a beloved show that has been in fact front of, in the front of Netflix's catalog and they finally revealed their true colors. Now this is a show that people have been watching for a while. Take a look at this with, with.

[Oscar Ramirez]

Pop Rocks and we like bike races.

[Benny Harmony]

And, and trading comics and, and NASA.

[Adam Nieberg]

And, and Steve Martin and, and Lucky Charms and literally all the same things.

[Benny Harmony]

I just, I just, I.

[Adam Nieberg]

I.

[Oscar Ramirez]

I.

[Benny Harmony]

I, I don't like girls. So in my understanding, this scene comes close to the finale of the latest season of Stranger Things where the protagonists are gearing up for their final fight against the antagonist and then the character Will Will Byers. He decides that now in that time is the appropriate time to come out to all of his friends and family. Yes, I bet you are wondering what that has to do with the story. Well, spoiler it has nothing to do with it. It is a completely random moment that was snuck into the show for absolutely no reason just to expand the plot. It is there strictly to educate the watchers that a character is gay now after five seasons. Great. Good for him. I'm glad he's gay now. The Woke Mind virus still has Netflix in its clutches to make sure it makes everything woke and gay. It is already bad enough that you are seeing this kind of stuff in mainstream movies and TV shows, but they keep trickling down the age movies bracket entering continuously younger, younger. Now think about this. If you leave your kid at home with a babysitter, think about the things that they will be watching on the television. Who knows? You don't know. And that is what is scary. The youth of America and they need to be informed about this multi this this woke stuff that Joe Biden has brought on. America truly is time for it to go. But up next, we have a female comedian we're going to be talking about on CNN. She tells on where to meet a man in 2026. It's a funny one. That's next.

[Benny Harmony]

Welcome back to Cinchfield. Tonight My name is Benny Harmony and I'm your host for this evening. Thank you guys so much for being here. As we wrap up the show, there is something that I want to highlight. Okay. This was one of my favorite moments from New Year's Eve. I didn't go out, I didn't do anything. But I, I can promise you I was watching this clip. So this clip we're going to show you. It's CNN's Anderson Cooper. He asked comedian on New Year's Eve, Amy Sedaris, I think is how you say her name, where the best place to meet a man is in 2026. Now, she gave an all time answer and left the hosts stunned. Take a look at this.

[Adam Nieberg]

Where's the, the best place to meet.

[Josh Whalen]

A man in 2026?

[Benny Harmony]

Oh, really? Well, you. Oh, where's a good place to meet a man?

[Justine Brooke Murray]

I'd say in the ladies room, but I don't know.

[Benny Harmony]

Where can you meet a man? Maybe Burgdorf's. Oh, I don't know.

[Justine Brooke Murray]

Where is a good place to meet.

[Benny Harmony]

A man in 2020?

[Josh Whalen]

I wouldn't know.

[Benny Harmony]

I mean, you meet men at different places. Fire station. I mean, I think our first answer was great. I saw this and it genuinely helped me start 2026 off on a good note. My favorite clips, you know, I would have loved to see some of those guys behind the camera, some of their re when they said that. And just you know what, I think we need a little bit more laughter, a little bit more humor, and I think our world would be in a better place. So I think she speaks to the larger picture though, of people starting to use comic, you know, in comical situations to lighten. Lighten all the heaviness happening in our country. So thank you guys so much for hanging out with us today on Stinchfield. Appreciate you have an amazing 2026.

[Oscar Ramirez]

See you soon.
