This is the Glenn Beck Program. Well, it's never a dull moment. Usually I say it's like drinking from a fire hose. The news never stops. It's constantly coming at us. And today is. It's still different. Even though we're in kind of a holiday weekend sort of week. Weird time between Christmas and New Year's where people forget what day it is. I guarantee you won't forget the stories that are breaking today. The big one, in fact, is the Somali daycare fraud out of Minnesota. It's a story so massive, what we're hearing and seeing now, just breaking over the weekend, I believe just the tip of the iceberg when I get into it. Break it off and let you know what we are expecting to see and what we're hearing already. It's so big. I'm just telling you. Strap in. It's not a one off, it's the blueprint and it's finally being exposed. If you thought maybe it stops at Minnesota, you're not paying attention. We'll get into it after this. Justin Barkley in today for Glenn on the Glenn Beck program.

Hello. We'd like to ask where's the money going? What do you guys think about the fraud that's taking place here in Minnes?
Ohio Attorney
I don't think anybody is enabling fraud to happen.
Scott Singer
Hold Governor Walls accountable for this.
Justin Barkley
What was this money spent on 1.26 million? What was that money spent? Any kids? Answer the question.
Concerned Citizen/Activist
Are there children? There's no children inside this building. Potentially the largest fraud scandal in US history is taking place in Minnesota as literally billions of dollars have been funneled through Somali ran fraudulent businesses. So much fraud it could actually almost replace the entire GDP of Somalia. These fraudsters have worked hand in hand with the Minnesota government as they enabled billions of dollars to be given to fraudulent businesses underneath welfare purposes.
Justin Barkley
Nick Shirley is his name by the way. The report did full 40 some odd minutes. I highly recommend you go check out what he's got to say. And the story that is, like I said, just the tip of the iceberg. You're finding out millions upon millions upon millions, hundreds of millions of dollars, probably billions before it's all said and done with. And it is taxpayer money that has been stolen and given out. Sounds like Democrats in some sort of. I believe there's a election scam involved here too. You're going to learn a little bit more about that as well. But it all works together and it's an NGO issue. It's one that we've been seeing through the years now that is finally starting to see the light of day. It only took a man with a camera. I think he's in his 20s. Nick is something else. Vice President J.D. vance saying, this guy beats all anybody that's been honored for a Pulitzer in years. I mean, the guy goes out, one man with a camera essentially, and knocks on the doors. All he had to do is go knock, knock, knock on the doors of these daycare centers. Nobody's home. And yet they're being fed millions upon millions of dollars in order to, well, do something that you would think is noble, right? Take care of kids. That's, that's the, that's the goal here. But there's something much bigger happening and this, this isn't anything new. Elon's been ringing the alarm on this for a while now, doging the rest of the project. This is back from the Qatar Economic Forum. Elon talking about the track records of NGOs and how they've used kids to funnel this money essentially from your pocket into the pockets of those politicians, the folks that contribute to their campaigns, the corrupt, and more many times over with USAID and other organizations.

It's sort of like, well, can we at least see a few kids? I don't. Listen, it's not a funny. I'm just laughing because it's so ridiculous. But he's right. I mean, can we, can we just. I'd love to help some people. Can we at least just see a few kids? That's what happened when they went knocking on the door of these daycare centers. Nick, Shirley and some folks with the camera, they saw that they'd knock, that nobody was home. Now this story, as I mentioned, the Somali daycare fraud out of Minnesota under Tim Walls. Watch Ilhan Omar and the rest that you, you're starting to see some things kind of come together here. Hopefully you can start to see the pattern emerge. But I'm gonna tell you, it's this thing blowing up on the weekend is, like I just said, it's just the beginning. It's not a one off, it's a warning flare. These viral videos making arounds over the weekend, all over social media And I'm glad to see it. Finally we're starting to see some coverage on some of the mainstream. In fact, one of the local, I think one of the local folks, maybe CBS did a story, I don't know, I've gotta tell you, it's, it's craz crickets for a lot of this stuff. They don't want to admit it because this is, if you really want to pull the curtain back and see how the sausage is made, this is what they do. This is how they've done it. Like parasites sucking you dry in the country thus for years upon years. I mean this is, this is the blueprint. So Nick and another guy with a camera, one of the folks that kind of tipped him off to this, they pull up to the child care centers there in Minnesota and they go knocking on the doors and as you see in the video, nobody's home. And they get, they get met with some mad folks too.
Concerned Citizen/Activist
Some. This money eventually landed in the hands of terrorist groups in Somalia like the Al Shabaab and others enriched themselves all at the U.S. taxpayers extended expense. And in this video we will break down all of the fraud from start to finish, from going to the fraudulent businesses and confronting the people who are making millions of dollars from the government. And we will also be confronting the incompetent government leaders who let this fraud happen. And to make this happen, I met up with a man who's been doing his own investigation for years now.
Justin Barkley
Again, this guy's a 20 year old case. A 20 year old K. You're telling me, you're telling me that a 20 year old kid, some odd year old kid can do this? But massive, you know, billion dollar mega media corporations with all kinds of resources and money, they, they can't, they can't get it done. It's either incompetence or maybe they're involved, I don't know, maybe, maybe they don't want you to know what's really happening there. President Trump talking about Somalians and the fraud, the billions being ripped off. 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 thing. I don't want them in our country. I'll be honest with you. Okay, Somebody 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.
Glenn Beck
Them in our country.
Justin Barkley
I could say that about other countries. Too. The fraud is massive. And on a level, like I said, they, they knock on these doors, all of it kind of looks empty, the lights off, no kids, no activity. And yet they're still pulling down big money, your money. You know, some of the most and maybe the worst, like most insulting part of the people are struggling, had been under Biden for years trying to get things back. Bidenflation and the cost of childcare. The cost of childcare alone has been a big problem for many, many folks. And yet you have places where money was supposed to go to help people. Somalians, not Americans. Imagine that we're going to help Somalians, not Americans here. They're doing this all over in different places. The state where I'm at, by the way, I'm in Michigan, a snowy white covered Michigan today. And they're doing very similar things here. They're doing it in states all across the country. Democrats, this is the playbook. They've got money for everyone else, but they don't have money for the people who need it most, apparently. And the people who would nine times out of 10 probably be voting for them until they discover what's really going on behind the scenes. Fraud is fraud. Criminals should go to prison. And that's, that's the point you can't ignore. We can't just talk about this. This isn't just, oh, well, let's hold some press conferences. You know, let's shine the camera and the light spotlight on this and talk about it and be outraged. We've got to see accountability. This is not just one daycare. It's a pattern across programs, across years. And like I said, it's not just Minnesota. It happens other places, too. I want to talk about this. We're going to dig into it deep. In fact, somebody running for governor in Minnesota, somebody who you'll know for his pillows, wants to be your governor if you're in Minnesota. We'll talk to Mike Lindell a little bit later on in the program today, but I want to dig through to talk about why this is happening and more importantly, how you stop it from happening, how you cut this cancer out once and for all. Because that, that's where the real, I think the real conversation needs to happen. Cutting out the noise and getting really to the solution of it all. Part of it, yes, is the awareness. You're hearing about this now. People are finding out about it. You ought to be mad, right? Yes. But we ought to also take action in the situation where we're in right now. We've got to see investig investigations, but we need to see arrests. We need to see these people held accountable. We're not just talking about the fraudsters on the ground. I'm talking about the politicians who enabled it, who allowed it to happen. It happened right under their noses. And then how do you make sure that this kind of thing never happens again? That's the key to it all. Again. Nick Shirley with the bombshell videos over the weekend that continue to get people excited talking about this story and I hope they don't stop. I'm just telling you, I think it may be just the beginning. I certainly know the story is just the beginning of what we're going to learn in states all across the country. But it is a story that many are calling today. In fact, Senator Ron Johnson calling it this the tip of the iceberg. But folks, this is a story that needs to be shared loud and clear. Let everyone get on the phone. Somebody listen today. Well, first of all, we need to put all kinds of pressure on the state agencies to give us their records. I'm chairman of the permanent subcommittee investigations. This will be a primary focus of ours. We're already reaching out to Nick Shirley and David and other people who can provide testimony for this. But we also need documents. So you know these agency heads who funnel the federal money to the state agencies, they have to demand that the state agencies are transparent. And unfortunately, particularly in Democrat controlled states, they're not. They refer, they're refusing turnover. Those records I've got subpoena power. I will use that subpoena power to obtain these records because we have to get to the bottom this understand Somalis just been in this country a few years. They're amateurs when it comes to fleecing the federal government. And let's face it, the, the federal government is probably the easiest consumer, the easiest payer to fleece and states do it time and time again. So this is just tip of the iceberg. Senator Ron Johnson again, I want to, I wanted to get to because it's gonna be easy to point the finger at Somalis here. But don't think that they came up with this scam on their own. Folks, that's not how this worked. How do you stop it? We'll talk about all of it next quick break. Back after this. Justin Barclay and for Glenn today on the Glenn Beck program.

Barkley in for back Today it's Justin. And by the way, you catch up me justinbarkley.com I'm at Mr. Justin Barclay on social media everywhere from Grand Rapids, Michigan. Day filling in for Glenn on the Glenn Beck program. Love to hear from you too. You can email me justin. Justin Barclay.com Carol just did. Thank you for checking in this morning. I appreciate it. The story's so big again, we're just scratching the surface. The Somali fraud, the Somali fraud is just being exposed in Minnesota. But it's not. This goes bigger than Somalis, folks. This is a Democrat scam. This is the blueprint they use with NGOs all across the board. And it's what Doge tried to explain and explore and exploit exposed. But they were kind of, you wonder why. You wonder why. I think now it's becoming more and more obvious. Here he was, I think this was over the weekend on Fox early talking with the panel on the big weekend show.
Concerned Citizen/Activist
There better be change. People are demanding it. The investigations have been launched just from that video alone. And so there better be changed because like I said, we work way too hard to be paying taxes. We work way too hard to be not knowing where our money's going. And at the end of the day, people in the government, they work for us. We don't work for them. And so it's their responsibility to hold these people accountable. And so if there's not something that's happened, people are going to be very frustrated. And so if President Trump's watching this, it's time to really get down to nitty gritty and to make a difference in this place of Minnesota. That is pretty Much like Somaliland. Right?
Justin Barkley
We've seen that already start to take place. We've seen that Kelly Loeffler with the Small Business association has already started to take some of those as far as pulling back, clawing back some of the money. So the Small Business Administration, dropping the hammer on Somali fraud, cuts off all of Minnesota because you just don't know where this starts and where it ends. She's telling Benny Johnson that she is disgusted from a report on X here and sickened. Buddy, expose small business fraud. It's taking immediate action. SBA cutting off and clawing back all SBA grants to Minnesota, effective immediately. Says this is due to Tim Walls and his refusal to enforce laws governing small businesses and the governor's allowance and facilitation of fraud. Loeffler says the SBA was able to uncover half a billion dollars of fraud within days. Let that sink in. Half a billion dollars of fraud within days in Minnesota alone. I'm beginning to think we wouldn't have all this debt. We wouldn't have as much as we have. And folks, we wouldn't be in debt if we didn't have all this fraud here in this country. Imagine what your taxes would be next to nothing. She notes Trump administration will focus on the state officials who built an industrial scale crime ring to rip off hardworking Americans. The scope of this international scam is still unwell. Likely billions, pending further review. And that piece that I played earlier for you from Nick, just part of it, they shared that we've already known that some of this money has gone to terrorists overseas, back in Somalia, back home. Imagine, imagine that we're funding, with your taxpayer dollars, this, it's, it's, it's enough to. You ought to be, you ought to be upset about it, each and every one of us. So what do you do? This is the, this is the find out era. So once we find out and things are exposed, you got to move forward. There's got to be accountability. These people have to be investigated, they've got to be charged. I want to see him in jail. And I understand you're frustrated, too. This is, by the way, the system isn't broken. This is exactly how this thing was set up to work. And why? Because when you got politicians who love nothing more to cut ribbons and go out and pat each other on the back and see what we did for the community here and there and the other. This is easy. It's easy to throw around money, especially when it's not yours, it's not theirs. It is Yours. And you have programs like this that had low barriers, minimal records requirements. Of course they're susceptible to fraud. So what do you do? What do you do? You can't just give press conferences. There has to be action. So here's some of the things we ought to see and we ought to ask the Trump administration moving forward in Congress to take action on. But this is, this is just, I'm, what I'm telling you is just sort of barrier to entry. We need prepayment verification on high risk claims. We need cross checks, audits with teeth, public transparency and folks, probably the biggest prosecutions, prosecutions that don't just stop at small fish. We need to follow the money all the way down the rabbit hole. This is Glenn Beck.

We are only a few weeks into winter in already brutal cold, huge snowstorms and of course power outages. Think about this.

And again, it's like drinking from a firehose. I always say never a dull minute. We got another headline that broke over the weekend that's worth exploring. Iran declares total war on America and Europe in huge World War three alerts. Justin Barkley in for Glenn today on the Glenn Beck program. You can email justinustinbarklay.com Barclay justinustinbarklay dot com I'm all over all the social places at Mr. Justin Barclay, but wanted to reach out to someone who could maybe give us a little bit more insight into what's going on. Obviously, Iran's been an issue. They have been a problem, the government there for quite some time now. The goal to get the nuclear weapons. You've seen President Trump in the strike and obviously the moves that he's made recently. Let's dig into this with us right now. Alireza. Jeffrey Zeda is with us. He's the deputy Director of the U.S. office of National Council of Resistance. We appreciate you taking the time to be here with us. The author of the Iran threat. Sir, thank you for being here with us this morning. And in digging into this story, it is a big one.
Alireza Jeffrey Zeda
Thank you so much. Just really appreciate the opportunity to be on your show.
Justin Barkley
So, you know, digging into this, it doesn't seem like this is the headline is new, right? But to me, is there anything new about some of the sort of the extremist rhetoric and language coming out of the government there?
Alireza Jeffrey Zeda
Well, just to put things in proper perspective, one has to understand the behavior of the Iranian regime when it comes to their external actions is part and parcel of their status inside the country. This regime has survived over the past 40 plus years only through war and terrorism and nuclear development of nuclear weapons, firing missiles and drones. And for good reason. They are declared as the world's leading state sponsor of terrorism. But at the same time, they are very repressive on their own population inside the country. That's how they have survived and stayed in power. The problem the regime is facing increasingly is that they have lost a grip on power inside the country. A vast majority of the Iranian population oppose, opposed to the regime and they want change. They want to end the rule of the clerics because, you know, Iran is a very rich country with tremendous amounts of resources. One of them is actually oil. We have the second largest oil and gas reserves combined in the world. Yet 80% of the Iranian population live below the poverty line. People are rejecting the quarries who are very corrupt, very repressive and use the resources of the country to pursue their own agenda, which is export of terrorism. That's why the more the regime gets in trouble, in order to hide their weakness and to deviate attention, they step up their rhetoric or their threat externally. At the same Time that there are threatening the United States and all the countries in the region, the rest of the world, at the same time as we speak right now. This is the second day of major protests breaking out in Tehran. Business people are shutting down their stores. The bazaar, which is, you know, the business sectors of the city are shutting down because the Iranian currency has severely plunged and lost its value. Today the currency was 145,000 tumonts for a dollar. Just to give you a comparison, when the molot came to power with only seven tumans, you could buy a dollar. Now it takes 145,000 to buy one dollar. That's how terrible things are. And the currency is really plunging. It's just an indication of the disastrous economic state that the country is facing. And people feel that they need to end this.
Justin Barkley
Ali Reza Jefferson with us right now. He's the deputy Director of the U.S. office of the National Council of Resistance here in Iran. And we got a little bit of an echo here on the other end of the line here. So I just want to see if maybe we can fix a correct ad here for folks listening so it makes it a little bit easier to hear. Yeah, this is interesting because we hear and see certain things on the news in headlines that may paint a certain picture. But do they really give us the full details, the breakdown of what you just talked about, the financial issues inside, the economic issues inside the country, what the will of the people actually involved there is, and again, very different, it seems like in a lot of ways from the extremist government.
Alireza Jeffrey Zeda
Absolutely. You know, the Iranian population are exactly directly opposite to what the mullahs, the clerics who rule the country represent. There is a very deep rooted desire on the part of the Iranian population to have a free society that would not be Islamic extremists. You know, over 98% of the Iranian population are Muslims, but the vast majority of them are vehemently opposed to Islamic extremism. How the mullahs are using misusing religion to justify their fascist policies, their terrorist policies under the name of the religion. And that's why people are fed up and have done with it. You know, since December 2017, there have been rounds of major uprisings in Iran. People asking for change. And those uprisings were not just in one area of the country or just the capital. It engulfed all 31 provinces of the country, all over Iran. And it's not limited to only intellectuals or certain sectors of the society. Everyone is involved. In fact, the most recent uprisings engulf the poor, the deprived. You Know, those are smaller towns and cities who, who used to be the bedrock of support for the regime. And all of them are now turned against the regime. So you have a regime that is extremely weak, is troubled, is rejected by its own people. But the only thing they have in their hand is their nuclear weapons program, their missile program, their proxies outside of Iran. The good news is that a lot of those assets, so called assets for the regime are gone. You know, a lot of those proxy groups have been shattered. You know, from Hezbollah in Lebanon to, you know, the Shia militias in Iraq to Houthis in Yemen, their biggest ally in the region, Assad in Syria, is gone. And their nuclear weapons program, which we played a huge role in exposing them since 2002, has been shattered. And that's why I think the world has to understand that this is a troubled regime that makes, you know, threatens the rest of the world. But we need to understand this is not the same regime five years ago, 10 years ago, 15 years ago. This is a regime that is so unstable, so weak, and the world has the opportunity to side with the people of Iran to undermine their ruling regime and establish freedom and democracy in the country.
Justin Barkley
What needs to happen next? I mean, we've seen the attack, obviously, the strike on the nuclear facilities there, but what's the next piece of this? Obviously people don't want to see war, obviously, that's one thing that Americans have made clear. But at the end of the day, this regime who seems like, as you mentioned, is weakening, needs to be dealt with.
Alireza Jeffrey Zeda
Definitely, Justin, you know, Iran is not any other, like any other countries in the region. Iran is not Iraq. Iran has a very organized opposition force inside the country and also outside of Iran. You know, almost all of the major nuclear sites of Iran were exposed by the main Iranian opposition, the parliament in exile, the National Council of Resistance of Iran is that has a clear platform both for the overthrow of the regime, but also for the transition after the fall of the Ayatollahs. This movement is headed by a woman, Mrs. Maryam Rajavi. She's headquartered in Paris. But she has gained tremendous support both inside Iran, but also outside of Iran. She has introduced a 10 point platform for the future of Iran that says ballot box is the only criteria for legitimacy in the future of Iran. She has called for the separation of religion and state, for freedom of religion, region, equality for men and women, free market economy, a non nuclear republic form of government in Iran supporting peace in the Middle East. These are the things that are the desire of the people of Iran. Now, unfortunately, over the past three, four decades, the outside world, you know, Europe and mostly in the United States, they were just interested in reaching out to the regime for finding a way of cutting a deal with the ayatollahs, searching for so called moderate elements within the regime that actually at the end of the day help the regime survive. That era is over. I think it's the opportunity for the outside world, short of war or appeasement, to be able to side with the organized resistance in Iran, recognize the reality that this is Iranian people reject this regime. They want change. We have a lot of support on the Hill. You know, in the House there's a resolution, Resolution 166 that has the support of bipartisan support of over 227 House members. A similar resolution is also in the Senate which has a significant bipartisan support that they're saying that, you know, U.S. and Europe, everybody need to stand on the side of the, of the people. There's no need for boots on the ground or appropriation of money. That's the change we need to see. And the prospect for change has never been so, so bright.
Justin Barkley
Alireza. Jeff Rosadeh, the latest on this story out of Iran and of course the deputy director there, US Office of National Council Resistance of Iran. Thanks for shining a light on it and continue to pray for the folks there obviously under the thumb of that extremist regime and continue to pray for peace and of course, prosperity eventually in that region. Thank you so much. We really appreciate you taking the time to be here with us today.
Alireza Jeffrey Zeda
Thank you so much, Justin. Always a pleasure. And again, happy New Year. And I'm very hopeful that the new year 2026 would be a totally different prospect for both the people of Iran, but everybody else in the region and the world. Think about it, Justin, a free Iran, a democratic Iran, a non nuclear, non belligerent Iran. What a difference it will make not just for the people of Iran, but for the whole world.
Justin Barkley
You got it. Appreciate it. Thank you, sir. And you know, as we talk about some of those major moves towards peace President Trump has made in the last year, he's working on one this weekend.

The older I get, the more I think about trust. I think about the people in my life who have my trust and earned my trust and the trust that I have placed in some people Who I later learned abused that trust. I know we're alike in that way. We don't trust a lot of people anymore. It's like we're all Ronald Reagan. Trust, but always verify to make sure we're not making a mistake. I find it a little exhausting, quite honestly.

Hey Justin. And for Glenn today on the Glenn Bag program, email coming in from Aaron. Thank you for your email says stop talking about Minnesota. No one's going to jail. You're wasting time and breath. This and I will warn against in fact, thank you for the email. If you want to email me Justin at Justin Barclay barclay justin@justinbarclay.com Love hearing from you but that's called the black pill. Sky is falling, Chicken Little. I got a warn against. You got to be careful because this type of philosophy or idea will make you think I just sit on my hands, do nothing, get my popcorn, watch and then just wait, you know, because the plan, you know, gotta follow and trust the plan. Something's gonna happen. I don't have to do anything or the vice versa. It's really, you can't do anything. And folks, that's what the enemy wants you to think. We wrestle not against flesh and blood. We know that about the fight that we're in right now. It is good and evil. We've gotta be active, we gotta be involved. So the story about Minnesota isn't just about Minnesota and we do need to see arrest. In fact we are seeing some movement, probably not as much as you want to see. I share your frustration and a lot of that but I would encourage you to stay in the fight. It does matter. Over the weekend, President Trump asked about the question how things are looking Ukraine and Russia.

Glenn Beck
We made a lot of progress today.
Justin Barkley
But really we've made it over the last month. This is not a one day process deal, this very complicated stuff. But I think when the president says 95, I think, you know, could be close to 95%. Yeah. Darius @ Mar a Lago with the meeting and of course, Zelensky. One kind of funny moment in.

Relief Factor has given me a big part of my life back, whether in the cold and elevation of our ranch or walks along the beaches with my wife in Florida.

Being fully able to get the job done is a second, well, maybe even last place. It takes a back seat in that fire truck, unfortunately. Scott Singer is here with us right now. He's the mayor of Boca Raton national and probably seeing a lot of folks fleeing New York to the free state of Florida, where I'm sure he's welcoming with open arms with some conditions, I'm sure don't bring any of the voting for the leftist policies our way, he might say. He's also announced a run for Congress. Mayor, we appreciate you being here with us.
Scott Singer
Today. Thanks for having me. Delighted to be.
Justin Barkley
Here. You know, this is one of the reasons, but so many people have talked about the fleeing that's happening from New York City. Just one of the many reasons. Electing somebody like Zoran Mandani, you know, communist but obviously extreme in a lot of other ways got people really concerned and quite frankly freeing because they're afraid for their.
Scott Singer
Lives. Yes. And we've been seeing people flee New York and they're high tax, Texas high regulations for decades. I stepped up after Covid and Boca Raton was the beneficiary of a lot of job creators and innovators moving corporate headquarters here. We now have nearly 40. We have more than 40 publicly traded corporate headquarters in our cities. And in June, after Mamdani won the primary, we actually had targeted advertising trying to grow our job base here. Boca Raton is a successful city, 100,000 people. We can't accommodate everyone who's going to want to flee New York and more are going to want to leave. But we are trying to focus on the job creators and innovators and that's helped us maintain a strong corporate presence and the lowest property tax rate of any full service city in.
Justin Barkley
Florida. Scott Singer with us right now, the current mayor there of Boca Raton and he is also chair of America First Policy Institute's Mayor's council, just announcing his run for Congress there to unseat the Democrat in his district, Jared Moskowitz. So let me ask you because I want to talk about your run to too, but as a mayor and part of the council There what are you seeing? This administration and the ability to work because there's a massive difference. In fact, I got a, I got a story today here coming up just a little bit. It's kind of funny, but you think about it, it's downright disturbing. Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson doubling down what's the name a taxpayer funded snowplow Abolish ice. He's got to do cute little stunts like this and at the same time they've got folks getting murdered right and left in what they call Chiraq these days. It's just a shame that this type of stunt would be something that he'd take more time and interest in doing. At the same time, we've got mayors who care about their cities. They're working with the administration. You know, if these guys did, maybe they welcome nice and didn't take the sanctuary policy, they'd see a lot better.
Scott Singer
Response. Well, I don't think there's anything cute about it. That's why I'm honored to work with nearly 50 mayors across the country who are focused on trying to get common sense solutions implemented at the city level and work better with the administration to advance an America first agenda. Let's talk about immigration. President Trump shut down the border. Miraculously compared to what people said was not possible, he did be possible and our streets are safer as a result. And I have mayors on my council have been able to partner effectively with the help from the Trump administration to drive out train Delaware gang members from their cities. And these are not massive cities. These are smaller cities that cooperation with the federal government to enhance policies that make streets safer is what we're about. It's about common sense solutions. And it's part of the reason why I'm inspired to run for Congress. Because we need people focused on doing things, not just grabbing headlines, not being obstructionists, not trying to shut down the government over extreme ideas like funding health care for people who don't need it when Americans don't have it. These are just some of the things that we need to take back our country. I'm inspired by so many things that have been accomplished by this first year of the Trump administration. But we need other people are going to advance this agenda beyond the executive orders, enact policies that are going to keep us safe, lower costs, bring jobs home and do all the other great things that are are going on right.
Justin Barkley
Now. You know, I gotta ask you too as we talk with the mayor of Boca Raton who's running for Congress, Scott Singer with us right now. Mamdani will be sworn in later this week. I think Bernie Sanders part of that whole ceremony, which just makes you, I think emphasize even more the sort of the clownish nature of it all. But the circus continues. You've been front row for some of the things that are happening obviously in, in New York City, the things that you're hearing people as they want to leave that area. Chicago's another place. But we're also hearing now Minneapolis and Minnesota some of the things that are happening in that city. And this weekend, massive news breaking about the fraud that's happening there. And these folks, it's not just happening because they ignore it there looks like they're a part of this. This is a whole nother piece of what's being exposed. That seems like it's straight out of the Democrat playbook in the blueprint for how to sell out.
Scott Singer
America. It's heartbreaking to see the massive amounts of fraud and how deep this is going. And I even think back to what in Florida when I had to take my kids to pre K through, you know, the organization, I paid for it, but the organization got funding from the state. You had a sign in each student in a blue pen. So to see reports of, you know, hundreds of millions of dollars going to entities that have no students is staggering. And it is a part about what are we really focused on? Are we focused on what's best for the American people? Are we focused on a long term plan to try to sway votes by allowing more immigration and then convincing people to vote for one party? That's not what we're about. It is, it's concerning. Going back to what you said at the beginning, yes, we welcome people who have the right mindset in Florida. That's why. But people are coming here, they're voting for better policies and it's, they're voting on the right way. We gained 1.7 million more Republicans over the last seven years, net over other parties. And it's helped turn the state from a purple state to a red state. And part of the reason that I hope, you know, to earn a lot of those votes coming in the August primary, November election, like I said, Scott's running for.
Justin Barkley
Congress. One of those big, I think it's gonna be a big push here, obviously in 2026 to make sure that President Trump continues with the ability to have that path and has Congress to help, you know, if Democrats take control of the House, they've already said they're gonna impeach him. They've already talked about some of the things I mean, complete, you know, deadlock in a roadblock with all the policies and the things that he's ready, he's already been able to get done. I mean, all of that's gonna come to a screeching halt and we're gonna have chaos again. And if they get control of, it's going to be a nightmare. I don't think it's, I don't think folks understand how bad it's going to be. And that's why it's important folks like you are able to win and help enlarge that.
Scott Singer
Majority. Well, I appreciate that and I think you're exactly right. You know, the Democrats have made clear about what their objectives are. It's not about new policy of the next two years. It's impeach Trump, which won't go anywhere and just gets us in deadlock. We saw this at the 43 day show shutdown. That accomplished very little. And we have more threats of shutdowns. You know, if we really care about democracy, then you have to give some deference to the party that actually won. But in 2026, we're going to be on the ballot again and I think it's so important that people turn out. We can't take our foot off the ground. The gas we need to be full speed ahead. President Trump has done amazing things already for our economy. The one big beautiful bill will be transformative and we're going to see major impacts. No taxes on tax tips, no taxes on overtime. We become the party of the middle class and I want people to understand that and I think they are. But it's important that we turn out the vote and I hope people will be voting for me. Can find out where and how@scottsinger USA.com my website. We're going to put more information as we get closer there, but we want people involved now. We have a moment in our history where we can continue gains or we can backslide. We can go back to the four years of the Biden inflation, four years of unsecured borders and we can't allow that to happen. We need to get everything we can to keep our country moving forward, improve our defense, improve our economy. And that's why I'm excited to go try to do all I can to make us get on the right side of.
Justin Barkley
Things. Scott Singer is the mayor of Boca Raton in Florida, obviously running for Congress as well. The website scottsinger USA.com Scott, can you. I have another question, but it's completely unrelated to what we talking about. I'M just so curious. I have to ask. Can you hang on for a moment? We take a quick.

Realestateagentsitrust.com. All right, I. I just couldn't leave this. And my apologies. Know if you're tired of talking about this, this is. Okay, you don't have to answer, but Scott Singer, the mayor of Boca Raton and running for Congress, we talked about a number of things this morning, but I just was looking at your information here. Were you really a. Were you really a Jeopardy.
Scott Singer
Champion? Yes, I was. It was a fun thrill of a lifetime to be able to go on a show that I watched my whole life. I was on about 12 years.
Justin Barkley
Ago.
Scott Singer
Wow. And a great experience was that when Alex was hosting? It was when Alex was hosting, yes. And actually in law school, I had the chance to be on who Wants to Be a millionaire with Meredith VR2, so made more from game shows than I did my first four years of public service as a councilman. But obviously, this is not a, this is not a career you go into because for the money, you go into it because you love.
Justin Barkley
Serving. Yeah. Oh, I can imagine. What was that like to be on Jeopardy and, and to be a champion and admit it. Quite the.
Scott Singer
Experience. Quite a thrill. You know, it's fun to actually play for real. The game you watch at Home. When you know, everyone watches at home. And do you know the answer in time? Well, you're competing with two other great contestants who you all. Almost all know all the answers, all the questions. It's just a matter of whether you can ring in first that you.
Justin Barkley
Got to be quick on that buzzer, huh? I mean, that's. That's got to be it.
Scott Singer
Huh? It is about being quick on the buzzer, but it's helped me in public life, you know, when I've had town halls, to get questions on all sorts of things. When I'm interviewing with you, you get questions from different directions. You got to be ready to respond and think about the question a little.
Justin Barkley
Differently. That's incredible. So. So you. You were a champion. How much did you end up.
Scott Singer
Taking home from that from Jeopardy.
Justin Barkley
$42,000. That's good. What.
Glenn Beck
A.
Justin Barkley
What? That's a good haul, man. That's incredible. To make it on a show like that and actually be a. Able to do it. Well, I'm sorry, I, you know, I had to ask. I saw that here, and I thought, is there any game show that you'd like to go on that you. That you haven't been on.
Scott Singer
Yet? I think my days are over. Jeopardy. Was what I watched as a kid, and it was a real thrill to be able to go on that and who Wants to Be a Millionaire? Having my luck. When I was in law school, I just happened to see that they were looking for contestants and went over the next day, and they picked me. I think I'm done in my game show career. Plus, they don't really have candidates there. But now, you know, I'm focused on what I can do to improve our nation. I feel like this is a critical time, and that's why I'm stepping up. I had no plans to. This is not something I planned out. I got involved in my local community to improve our job base here. And frankly, with the terrible policies that you're going to see in New York, we have a great opportunity to really accelerate that, because I want to create more jobs for my kids and for other people's kids. But nationwide, I think we have an opportunity to bring back American manufacturing, restore our job base, make sure we have better employment opportunities for everyone, and so much more. And again, inspired by what's happened last year, and understand that we're at a critical juncture, and that's why I hope people turn out to vote, because we can't lose the enthusiasm. We can't go backwards to an economy that drags borders that are porous and American defense and national security.
Justin Barkley
Weakness. That's why he's a Jeopardy. Champ, folks. Scott, thank you so much for taking the time to be here with us today. Mayor, really appreciate.
Scott Singer
It. Well, thank.
Justin Barkley
You. You got it. Mayor SCOTT singer, Boca Raton and I had, I'm sorry I had to ask that. I just looked down at my notes, I thought, I didn't realize he was a, he was a champ, Jeopardy Champ and he was on who Wants to Be a Millionaire? So I, I, I had to ask about that. But another one of those candidates, you're going to hear more and more. Some of these folks off obviously running for Congress. But also maybe in the next day or so we can talk with some of these folks running for senate. There are 10 I saw released today, there are 10 seats at least that are critical when it comes to the Senate story that came out the other day. We'll dig into that. Probably I'll be back with you tomorrow and maybe even get a chance to talk with somebody in one of those very critical races 20, 26, 24 was about. But obviously I think President Trump back into office and a miracle that really had to take place to get him there. But your next question is, okay, now that we've gotten there, how do we continue to not only see, because we're just beginning to start to say, look, we can talk about it till we're blue in the face and I think a lot of us, we need to, but they'll tell you that things aren't changing. They'll tell you that things aren't working. But I just disagree with that. I paid 254 a gallon now I'm in Michigan. 254 a gallon for gas the other day. That's unheard of. We've been paying upwards 323, 50, who knows for the last four years. Joe Biden and every one of these folks on the left is, you know, there are a lot of these people that had their, you know, medical degrees over the last four or five years. You probably remember hearing from those folks online. Well, they've all got their degrees now apparently in gas and oil. And they all come out saying the same thing. They all come out so the president doesn't control the price of gas or yeah, and I find this to be incredible. So Ford, which of story I'm following closely here because I'm in Michigan, but Ford just announced they got, you know, billions upon billions of dollars they're throwing away because of the unpopularity, I guess probably the best way to put it of the Ford Lightning, which is the F150 electric. F150. And I don't feel we're talking about billions of dollars of money that they're just, they've flushed down the drain. Now they're backing out of it because it's, they said, well, the market didn't bear it out. Well, it was policy changes. President Trump comes in and says, we're not going to do this green new scam thing again. We're done with it. The green pipe dream. We're done with it. We're going to get rid of it and we're not going down this road anymore. And they're forced to because the policies in real life had teeth they actually bared out. And that is the same when it comes to oil and gas. The policies of the president and how he has said, we're not going down this electric vehicle road again. We're done. We're putting the brakes on this. How dare you. Yeah, credit's not happy either, but you're telling me that Ford will switch gears, in fact blow a U turn. Billions of dollars president can impact that industry and his policies do, but they don't impact the price of gas at the pump. That's just incredible. Ridiculous peak insanity. More truth, logic and common sense coming up next on the Glenn Beck program. Justin in for Glenn.

Winter power outages can even be life threatening. We learned this in Texas not too long ago. That's why so many Americans are getting a Vesta off grid heater from my Patriot Supply. It's a space heater. It doesn't use electricity or propane. It runs on something called canned heat and it's an indoor safe fuel with Vesta. If you have it stashed in your closet, you know you can keep warm, keep your kids warm no matter what. And it even doubles as a stove to cook your food in case you have an electric cooktop. The best part is right now you can get the Vesta and a bunch more preparedness gear as free gifts.

Buried this week straight from Glenn. Go ahead and sign up now@glennbeck.com. A whole new way to learn history, Unfiltered, immersive and built for this moment. January 5th@glenn beck.com. It's not just many Minnesota, by the way, many Somalia. It's not just Minnesota where the fraud is happening. I've been talking about this morning. But Scott, or excuse me, Nick Shirley and the expose he's done, a kid with a camera has done more to expose the truth about what's happening in the scam Democrats and of course those folks in Minnesota are doing with this daycare fraud. It's not, I told you, it's not just in fact, you're going to see other states. These stories will begin to become more and more prevalent. You're going to hear more and more about it. Ohio attorney is talking about it in this video, I think for Bright party confirming massive fraud in another situation, a hotbed for Somalis. This is Ohio. They run a fake quote Home Health Service and bill $250,000 per year per family when no one and no one's working. Nothing's actually being done. Also happens in Pennsylvania. And I think you're going to start seeing more on these stories in the days ahead. But here's a little bit of the coverage on this from this.
Ohio Attorney
Attorney. So these individuals tried to report the fraud that was happening in Ohio and then eventually came to me to say that we're watching providers rubber stamp paperwork for home health. So in Ohio, and there's many states like this, Pennsylvania and other states too, where you can go in and you can say my aging parent needs a home health care and I want to provide it. So the state will, as long as a doctor has approved it, continue to pay you. It could be for 10 hours, 12 hours, up to 24 when it's critical care. So you could sit at home without caring for an elderly parent who really doesn't need it, make about 75 to $90,000 a year. Now you add two parents, that's 180. Now you add your in laws, 250. You continue to add this and you wonder what are the services being.
Justin Barkley
Provided? Where do I sign up? That's as the other where do I sign up for.
Ohio Attorney
This? So a lot of providers came and said fraud is occurring because we said we were we weren't going to rubber stamp this paperwork. So they went to other providers, their home health care network saying we'll make it worth your while. Well, sounds like A kickback to me. So we really need to investigate the Medicaid system and how much it's increased since the Somalian population came. And who really needs critical care because that's meant for our disabled, our elderly and people who really need it, not to just live up our system. And that's what's happening in Ohio. I think it's ridiculous. I think it's despicable. But authorities are now looking at it from the Attorney General's office to the U.S. attorney's office. I flagged them all because this is Ohio tax dollars and we have to take it seriously. I'm tired of people telling me, well, this is the way it's always been. It's subjective and we can't really check. No, you can audit America, audit Ohio now. And I'm pushing for that in every single.
Justin Barkley
State. You know, it's a really good point and one that she makes here. This, this, when these things happen, it's, you got couple of victims. Not only are we as taxpayers victimized by this corruption, but we're also seeing that happen with the people who need it most. This all came out with the food stamps, the SNAP and all that you talk about. You're putting the most vulnerable, you're putting the most vulnerable amongst us at risk. These people may not get the help and the care that they need because you got people gaming the system. Because you've got people that are out there trying to, trying to, in corruption, trying to, trying to suck us dry. All of this money. Now I think this might be a local news report out of Minnesota. If so, this is, this might be the first I've seen. They're finally starting to cover it. I started by visiting Quality Learning center daycare. So it is that 14B which sits right in the heart of downtown Minneapolis between 2019. And by the way, it's a busted up door slash window with a board over the top and graffiti on it. Looks quality to me. 23. The Minnesota Department of Human Services found 95 violations at this location. They range from failure to keep hazardous items away from children to no records for 16 children which include things like immunizations, emergency contacts and medical needs. So state investigators place Quality Learning center on a conditional license in 2022. I went to the daycare's location several times and only once did I see people there. Oh, that's your daycare, but I did not see any children. There are 80 kids in there. No, no, no, no, no. After.
Glenn Beck
School. Okay.
Justin Barkley
Gotcha. All right, thank you. DHS declined. Sure, sure. After school. But in a statement acknowledged Quality Learning center was put on a conditional.

But it still received nearly $8 million in taxpayers money since 2019. Julie, look. That's incredible. That is incredible. It looks like this is Eyewitness News 5 ABC. Who did this report? I just, just the tip of the iceberg. We've been talking about this throughout the show and I guarantee you're going to hear more and more about this. It's just another, another one of these stories that you're finally starting the blue, the blueprint starting to come to light here. This is how they, they've gotten away with it for years. They've gotten away with us for years. And the ngo, the whole game is starting, the shell game starting to crumble. And good, and good. Justin, Justin, Barclay.com is my email. You can, you can shoot me. I'd love to hear from you during the program today. Filling in for Glenn on the Glenn Beck program. Justin Bark. Justinustinbarkley.com is the email. Well, what else is happening in some of these Democrat blue cities? I mentioned when we talk of Mayor Boca Raton earlier about some of the really bad things, Mount Donnie and the DEI hires there and some of the really bad things that are coming for New Yorkers, Things are already happening. I think his approval rating's in the single digits. The mayor of Chicago, Chirac, as they call it, Mayor Brandon Johnson, acute stunt, wants to name a taxpayer funded snowplow abolish ice. He wants to put that on, I guess on the signage for the snowplow. Meanwhile, how many people were murdered over the Christmas weekend alone, in fact, every weekend. This isn't every unfortunately everyday thing in places like Chiraq. Quote, abolish ice. It's funny and it's clever. What are citizens saying both about naming the plow and about ISIS actions in the city? Reverend AL sharpton well, you know, you know, Reverend Al, you know, from the very beginning of this administration, I made a commitment to ensure that we protect working people. But really, you know, this was really about protecting our democracy. And you know, when putting a sticker on a snowplow, oh yeah, that's the resistance right there, buddy. The Trump administration moved on, you know, the big nasty bill. Now, I don't know, I don't know if enough people actually realize this, but the amount of money that the ICE division of our government has received as a result of this administration is quite significant. In fact, there are only two other entities that have a larger budget than ice. It's the United States military and it's China's military. And he has used it as a privatized force to enact terror. So this is the problem. Law enforcement is the problem. Enforcing the law is the problem, not the criminals. That's where they get all this backwards. By the way, this guy knows he's got folks, black, Hispanic, et cetera, showing up at these city council meetings. Absolutely. Just enraged with the fact that he won't allow President Trump to come in and do the things that need to be done to restore law in order and peace in the city of Chicago. What's he doing? He's naming, naming a plow truck. Abolish ice. I mean, I just, you can't make this stuff up at the same time. At least 28 people shot. I think six killed. Was that Christmas? The last few days alone in Chicago. I believe that's ahead. Let me, let me fact check that and I'll get back. It sounds about right. But let me fact check it and I'll get back to you on that. It's insane to see what, what is happening with the folks in some of these leftist cities, folks. We'll get to that coming up in just a moment. Take a quick break. It's Justin Barkley. We're back for Glenn. Today on the Glenn Beck program. Teach your kids right.

Details. All right, here we found that while the mayor of Chicago is busy putting stickers on snowplows, you know, to make people feel safer, stickers that say abolish ice, the mayor's town is being inundated by, by real violence. At least 28 shot. That was the number we got. Chicago Sun Times since the start of the holiday stretch, Wednesday, December 24th through the 28th, Chicago sun times 28 shot, six dead. So the mayor and his cute little stunt, unfortunately backfiring in a big way for folks there in Chicago. And you hate to see it because every one of those numbers, you're talking about real people. No matter what, what they do or what they say, we're talking about real people. And this, this idiot. It's so unnecessary, it's so needless. I mean it's obvious, it's clear what needs to be done here. And anybody with a couple of brain cells would tell you that's, that's what we're watching. It's all part of the scam. Elon puts it this way, by the way, what we saw there is just a trans amount of money being sent to non governmental organizations. But actually it's a, this by.

Well, It's, it's, it's flying away in the wind. That's the best way I can put it without saying things that I can't say it on the, on the air here. Justin Barkley in for Glenn. Today on the Glenn Beck program. We continue by. This is an old, an old video, but it's worth showing. Tim Walls doubling down on bringing. Now we know why he's so end up bringing the Somalis in. Governor Walsh, what can you say about the latest on the Somali fraud that happened under your watch, sir? Governor, have you been able to apologize yet to the people of Minnesota.

Glenn Beck
People. Instead of coming, we're going to.
Justin Barkley
A mini state with more money. We are going to suck more money out of the taxpayers of this great country. That's, that's essentially what Tim Walls wants to do in and I think it's front lines TPUSA thing that they, they put out there. I, I now, now this piece is starting to come again. I don't think it's ever been more obvious why they're doing it and exactly what they're doing. By the way, a guest coming up next hour talk about this in his home state of Minnesota as he gears up for a run, a run for governor. We'll talk with Mike Lindell on the way and I, I'm sure he'll have a thing or two to say about this and maybe even how it ties into the election issues. Now, have you seen Ilhan Omar? She refuses to talk about it. She doesn't want to say, apparently her husband's firm, $30 million. Quietly scrubbing names from the website as the squad member faces mounting questions on sudden wealth. I wonder what happened? How did she suddenly get so wealthy? How did that possibly happen? I can't imagine. Any idea? No, no. Just absolutely baffling to me. How did, how did her and her husband get so wealthy there now when I say husband, I don't mean her brother. That's the other one. This is the new one, I think. I know. It's so confusing. All of this is just so confusing. You know, you got to put the pieces together here. And it's hard to keep up with on, on some of this. But her husband's venture capital firm quietly scrubbing key officer details, including formally Obama officials. As scrutiny grows, the New York Post writes over the family's skyrocketing wealth. The Post has learned Omar went from being nearly broke to worth up to $30 million in just a year. Wow. Well, I'm sure that was just luck, you know, a massive up to $9 billion fraud scheme involving the Somali community in her district unfolding right under her nose. Nothing to see here, folks. Nothing to see here. It's Barkley in for Beck today. We continue back with Mike Lindell after this on the Glenn Beck Program. This is glenn, becky.

Program. The fraud is it levels maybe never really uncovered or seen before. Yet I believe it's happening in more and more places. The story, Nick surely just uncovered over the weekend in Minnesota. All of these fraudulent daycare situations, getting millions upon millions of dollars, taxpayer money and there are no kids when they go knock on the doors, there's nobody to be free found. It's the latest scam and I wonder if it ties in to elections as well. He's running for governor in the state of Minnesota. We'll talk with our good friend Mike Lindell once the pillow guy now wants to be your governor. From my pillow to my governor. That'd be a heck of a change. We'll talk to him right after this. Justin Barkley, and for Glenn today on the Glenn Beck.

Program. We are only a few weeks into winter and already brutal cold, huge snowstorms and of course, power outages. Think about this. If the power goes out when it's really cold, do you have a way to keep yourself and your family warm? Winter power outages can even be life threatening. We learned this in Texas not too long ago. That's why so many Americans are getting a Vesta off grid heater from my Patriot supply. It's a space heater. It doesn't use electricity or propane. It runs on something called canned heat and it's an indoor safe fuel. With Vesta, if you have it stashed in your closet, you know you can keep warm, keep your kids warm no matter what. And it even doubles as a stove to cook your food in case you have an electric cooktop. The best part is right now you can get the Vesta and and a bunch more preparedness gear as free gifts. When you order the winter survival kit from my Patriot supply, go to my patriotsupply.com Glenn see everything that's included. The offer is not going to last long. So go to my patriotsupply.com Glenn mypatriotsupply.com.

Glenn. From my pillow to my governor, I think it has a nice ring to it. Mike Lindell joining us now on the Glenn Beck Program, Justin and for Glenn today, Mike, welcome in. Appreciate you being here with.
Glenn Beck
Us. Well, thanks for having me.
Justin Barkley
On. Hey, it's a heck of a day to have you on. Wanted to talk to you about your run for governor and we got this massive story breaking over the weekend from Nick Shirley and the governor's there, Tim Walls trying to hide from it. But there's massive amounts of fraud, millions upon millions of dollars at least it appears for daycare that are empty children here in Your child care. Minnesota child care, right here. It's from the state of Minnesota's website. We're just wondering where the children are. Where the children are? Yeah. Where are the children? It says you have 102 children here, and you got 2.6. $6 million this year in funding and 2.5 million last year. We're just wondering where the. Where the kids are. This is incredible. Eventually, the woman that closes the door slams the door on them. But, Mike, it's incredible to watch.
Glenn Beck
This. Well, it really is. And the. And it's so. It's something everybody can understand going, okay, you can't even argue your way out of this one. There's no kids. We've been dealing with this Somalian with this fraud in Minnesota for a long time. And not just with children with autism, with education, Medicaid, housing. It's one welfare thing after another, and they just scam it. And it's a scam, scam, scam. The. The New York Post reported on December 21, just a week ago, or whatever they said it looks like it could be as high as. You're ready for this. 9 billion with a B. Now, that's half of Minnesota's 18 billion that came from the federal government funding over the last six years. That means that over half of it was stolen in this. In these frauds and fraud schemes. And by the way, the country of Somalia, that's their whole national economy, is around 9, 10 billion. What I really like is it's the silver lining here. It's exposing. This stuff's been going on all over the country with our welfare programs. And as we all know. And it's popping up now in Maine, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Washington state. So Nick's. But Nick and him getting in there, right? They're going door to door, basically. And you. And then there's one of them that was shut down, you guys. One of them was shut down for. Or. No, not shut down. They were warned. They had all these violations, and I guess they were only then part of their license was taken away. So then they had no kids, but they were paid 7.8 million over that course when they were on kind of on probation. And. Well, it's easy to not get another violation if you don't have any kids. This is one that actually had kids, but there was so many violations and they couldn't account for half the kids. But most of them have just no kids. And. And the one that I got a kind of a. I look at, I go, you got to be kidding me. It Says child learning Center. And they took, they didn't have the end in there. It was leering center spelt it wrong. I mean, you can't make this stuff up. And in Minnesota, our politicians there, you either say was governor, was our. I believe we have the worst governor in history. I think he's so corrupt. I think he's evil. And he, the stuff he's done. I could spend two hours on your show and we still wouldn't get to the list of what he's done to our state and blatantly to what, you know, like even back with the virus were they had he. He called out the, the guard or whatever to, to shoot paintballs people, get them back in their house during the virus. And then he made. If you were in Thanksgiving, if you had more than eight, I believe it was eight people in your house, your neighbor could turn you in and you get 90 days in.
Justin Barkley
Jail. Yeah, he had a hotline, didn't.
Glenn Beck
He? Yeah, he had a hotline and a Christmas. At Christmas, we Christmas, he threw us a bone. We got to have 12 people. Thanks. And you know, and this. And him and I went round and round for years that this guy. Now put it this way, everybody, either he. Let's just say he really didn't know then you've got to be the most incompetent governor in history. You should be fired immediately. You should step down. But what is he doing? He's doubling down. He's saying, oh, there's no problem here. Donald Trump's attacking us and coming after this, these nice Somalians that are in Minnesota and, and, but we've got to get rid of our guns. Any that he deflects to. We've got to get rid of our guns. We've got to get rid of, you know, trying to, trying to ban guns down in Minnesota. But he, he's something else. And, you know, this, this is all the Minnesota media, too. You got to put a lot of blame on that there. You know, here with this. What did next thing have 100 million hits or something? It's just bizarre. And, and they can't hide it anymore because our Minnesota media that's doing the starting Tribune, they just, they used to report stuff like this. They don't know. It's like they're protecting this corruption that's going on right from our elections with the, you know, the Somalians. It was a big problem in our election in 2020 in Minnesota. And it all starts there. Of course, you know, that with.
Justin Barkley
Me, that's my next question. Mike Is, by the way, Michael Andell with us right now, CEO of My Pillow, running for governor in Minnesota. How much of this ties into the election.
Glenn Beck
Issue? Well, it all comes from our election, the stolen elections, which, by the way, we're making great progress there. The president from the top down and my team from the bottom up. All over our country, Dallas counties go into paper ballots hand counted for the primary, and that's one of the biggest counties in Texas. But, but yeah, it all comes back to the elections. I remember sitting up on the night of the 2020 election, or no, it's the day before, I think. And, and I got the president on the phone and I said, you know, there's, there's been reporting in Minnesota here because, you know, we have that early voting and of all these Somalians, and they had video. They were caught on videotape and every. Everything else. And of course, that wasn't, that was a whole different kind of theft and what not with the machines, which I really focused on after that, the computers. But, but, you know, it's all tied into that. And then let's just say. Here's another thing, everybody. Let's just say you don't believe that there's anything. Oh, our elections are all secure, which we're. We're only. There's 132 countries have banned electronic voting machine, and we're not one of them. But anyway, let's just, just say assume that they're, you know, that they're all secure. Well, then what you do then is you bring in what you bring in. 100,000 Somalis. How do you think that Elon Omar got elected? Everyone says, why would you guys elect Elon Omar? Minnesota, we didn't elect.
Alireza Jeffrey Zeda
It.
Glenn Beck
80. You know, there's 80,000 Somalians in her district. And then plus, you coupled that with all the cheating that can go on. And then remember, we have Keith Ellison, our attorney general is part of the Muslim Brotherhood, and you look at his checker pass. It's horrific. He's come after me for the last year and a half to shut down my foundation and my Lindell Recovery Network, because the foundation is a perfect replacement for all these welfare platforms, even if they are good. It's a replacement I worked on for eight years, going back before these elections. So when I'm governor, you put them in place that it goes perfect with the private sector. And it's. I believe it'll replace these things nationwide because they're. All they do is they, they just. People come dependent on them if they're even if they're even used right. And then otherwise it just, it's an open door for the biggest, they're calling it the biggest fraud scandal in American history. And they just touching the tip of the tip of the.
Justin Barkley
Iceberg. Mike Lindell with my pillow now running for governor here in Minnesota. And the, the story is, it is explosive. We're going to hear more. I do believe we're just talking about tip the iceberg. And I think we're going to see that this isn't about Somalia. It's probably not even fully about Minnesota. I think what we're seeing is a Democrat playbook, a blueprint of how the fraud and the corruption in the NGOs, as Elon's kind of pointed out with Doge and how they were able to find some of these things that.
Glenn Beck
This is how they.
Justin Barkley
Absolutely. So tell me. I mean obviously Mike, we just talked about elections, we talked about this fraud. But I want to talk about the run for guys, he's got some good news in some of this as well. I want to take a quick break if we can and come back to you and talk about those things. It's so important for us to stay encouraged, especially as things seem to be. So you look at story like this and gosh, how corrupt is it? How bad is it? I mean, how do we ever cut this cancer out? But there is some good news. Let's get to that. We come back. Quick break. 60 seconds back on the Glenn Beck program. Justin Barkley with Mike Lindell back after.

Details. We've got to get some of this good news in because otherwise, otherwise you hear the headlines and you think, well, it's hopeless, it's helpless. There's nothing to be done. But at the end of the day, I think that's part of the strategy. Make you feel like there is nothing that you can do. That's just not the case. Mike's been in the fight tirelessly over the last several years, been paying a price for it. Numbers of ways that can't even begin to mention and monetize give you a figure for it. But Mike, you're starting to see the tide change in a lot of ways. And in fact you're, you're seeing that with some of these things are getting exposed. But also as you decided to run for governor, you must feel like you really got a shot and the people are.
Glenn Beck
Ready. Oh, absolutely. And you guys, let's just tell you the good positive news about our election platforms because that's what I've worked the hardest on for five years. Like I said earlier, there is great progress there. President, if you guys can see through the news and I would suggest you follow, follow my feed. Any, any in any of the platforms. Getter gab, Truth X Facebook vocal and we're always putting out what the President's going to put. He's pouring stuff out of the DOJ like you, I don't know. You should all be aware that Georgia now has admitted there was 300,000 votes unaccounted for. You know, they look, all the stuff we told you five years ago is all true now. And that just came out a week ago. It's going to be a big evidence stump of the 2020 election. Everyone says, well why, who cares? Donald Trump's in power now. Everything is great. No, we need to secure our elections and get rid of the machines and go to paper ballots. Well, we've got great progress. We've got in Texas alone, like I said, five counties. Dallas county is going to be a perfect prototype to the country. Paper ballots, hand counted, no machines. And then you get in. Let's go into Minnesota now. I think right now. You know, I waited till the, the other candidates, they all announced earlier this year. They've been campaigning for months. But I, I, in August, you know, I guess my wife and I started, we're praying about, I'm going, you know, I don't think anyone else can get this Done right. It's. There's. There's so many things. I know how to fix it, what, you know, what's wrong. And because I've been there, seen that, done it. And so as winning Minnesota, I really think the time is right now. I'm going to get a lot of pushback from Republicans going, Mike, this is our perfect time to win. We are traditional candidates and our establishment candidates can win because of all the bad things that Waltz has done. Well, you guys, I'm sorry, but I don't trust that that's going to happen with you guys. I think I'm a little bit of a marketer, and the stuff that I was doing for, for the president, that, that worked in the 2024 election, that's just to get elected. But I think the thing is, being a CEO, you know, I've been through. I built businesses from scratch. Nobody ever handed me anything from the ground up. Many businesses, including the Lindell TV during these last five years of the attacks on MyPillow. But then also to have a company under attack like MyPillow was the most attacked company in history, not only by our own government under, under our arctic frost, but by lawfare with these machine companies and, and my own attorney general, like I said, Keith Ellison, attacking my pillow, but all to shut off my voice. Well, during that time, you had to go to each sector of my pillow and, hey, let's, you know, move this over here. We have to stop this over here. Imagine a ship getting blown full of holes. But to guide that through, and I had to get to where my pillow was in a very safe place, secure. I care about my employees and, and I wanted to make sure they were safe before I moved on to governor because that's going to be a fight of all fights and getting in there and getting things changed, getting things gone. You put all these people that did this in prison, you get rid of all the illegals immediately. You hold the leadership, whether they were in on it or not. If they belong in prison, I don't know. Well, I don't even know if Waltz will be there by that time. But you have programs that you could take anything like education or the school, making the school safer. I have a perfect prototype for that. You have all these welfare. Welfare programs, though, are what I was working on for 10 years. And this with the private and with the private sector involved. And this is. It's not really complex. Complex, but it actually works. We tried it in Detroit, I tried it in 100 and some different countries to Test it back then before I got involved with all this political stuff. And so I've got great solutions and I think you know I've been. I've been. When I came out of addiction in. In 2009, I spent millions of dollars downtown Minneapolis when I where I lived down there with the teen challenger and the homeless and the. And the. The people in addiction and that mentally people have mental problems in the streets. And there's a program that Ben Carson had. He's a friend of mine back when he worked for the government in 2016-2020. And and I have the blueprints to that program. So I really believe I have solutions to all these things and. And solutions that aren't going to take years. I think people want to see, you know, problem solution and. And here we want. We want results and this is gonna. Has proven results and it's gonna work and. And I think everybody is ready in Minnesota. I mean this is. This is like perfect marketing for me to. And when we're under a critical. Like right now you can go to Mike Lindellgov.com and help out. Right now I have to get the get. We have a primary in Minnesota and everybody wants the GOP blessing and. And that's. I think a lot of my pushback will come from that. Mike Lindell is a conspiracy theorist isn't here. You know, all he wants is to get rid of the voting machines and well, there's a lot more to that than that's just the biggest problem we have in this country. But we're solving that and then now because everything comes from our elections and. And we. We. If we. If it goes past this next election. I don't think there's. You can ever get Minnesota back. I don't think our country that we're in a very critical time in history these midterm. It could be some of the probably the most important midterm in history. But I think it's even beyond that. I think if once this isn't a thing of we're not in a space anymore. All Republican Democrat Republican in Democrat. No this is a new thing where the people You've awoke up the evening the people and it's a. It's a new party of common sense and we have to stay with.

This. Justin Barkley and for this is Glenn Beck Relief Factor. Loves hearing from pain free customers and hopes that that you will be their next person. Bill wrote in and said, I have been crawling under sinks and working long hours for decades. My back and my knees took the punishment and I thought my pain was just part of the trade. But Relief Factor surprised me. Within weeks I was working without wincing. I could get down on the floor and get back up again without thinking twice. Bill knows hard work.

I want to make sure that I I touch on we did a lot on the Somali fraud today. I'm sure more will be coming out of the days ahead on that. Well, we'll make sure that you hear about it. I'm in for Glenn tomorrow and Wednesday and we have a couple of couple of good guests and great shows planned. So we'd love to have you back here for those. Always a pleasure filling in for Glenn. You ever want to reach me, I love to talk to you. You can always email me Justin Justin at Justin Barclay B A R C L A y justin justin barclay.com got a couple of good ones. Trying to try and make sure that I get back to I will get back to everyone emailing in. Thank you Bernie, so much. Ryan, John, Gary Levi for folks that have reached out today as well and a few others on the email and at Mr. Justin Barkley over on Facebook, Twitter X. Let's see all basically all the places you can find me@justin barkley.com in fact, I'll be posting stuff we talked about and what I call the stag little on today. But first let's do this because as you know, the politicians are so fake and phony every time something like this presents itself. Can't help but chuckle, you can't help but laugh because again, just expose them. Here is Governor Gavin Newsom, Gram Newsom, him talking about how he and his wife have joyfully celebrated Kwanzaa. You know, because we're still kind of in that Christmas mode right now. I talked about. I talked about I like Christmas. I, I don't like how it just sort of abruptly ends after Christmas Day. And I think I'm gonna stick with the twelve days of Christmas. And in fact, I think that would end on January 6, the Feast of Epiphany is what they call it. Now, I'm not Catholic, but I like that stretching it out. I like that celebration, making it last a little bit longer. So I'm doing that this year. I'm going to continue to say Merry Christmas. Probably not going to catch me saying Happy Kwanzaa or whatever they say. Happy New Year. I can say Happy Hanukkah. I can say I'm fine with all those Kwanzaa chestnut real it's been made up and that's why it's so funny to see some of these folks get called out about it. In fact, here's Governor Gavin Newsom getting called out by some folks commenting all those who celebrate Happy Kwanzaa. This holiday was created to honor the rich history of the African American community. And to invite all communities to come together, reflect on our past, its struggles and triumphs, and look ahead to our shared future. Yeah, she says it this, this holiday was created. It's not like a legitimate.

Holiday. The seven principles of Kwanzaa offer guidance as to how we can make.
Justin Barkley
The future bright, reminding us to keep faith in ourselves and in each other. So as families across the country gather to light the kinara, we wish you all a joy. Sorry, light the what? I Full Kawanza. I don't. I don't. I don't even think they know what they're talking about. I really don't know. And who knows what they're lighting? Gavin and his wife. I have no idea. Is that legal in California anyway? I think might be. But the best thing is to watch how people respond. It's one thing to hear them and to see what they. But it's. It's a whole nother thing. The kids call this the ratio. Representative Sarah McBride, who goes by Congresswoman Sarah McBride over on X, you know, the. The true story is. That's a man man. That's. That's not. Anyway, I won't. I won't belabor that. I just tell you so you understand you can get the context of what these comets are going to be. I'm wishing all in Delaware. Here's the post. I'm wishing all in Delaware who are celebrating the day a blessed. A blessed Kwanzaa centered on culture, family and community. May this time be one of reflection, unity and hope. You. You. You see this stuff and it just, it. It blows you away. Some of the responses 100 proof over on excess bruh. Coco's dad fake holiday. JWF Kwanzaa is a real holiday. Like you're a real female bro. And then my favorite from Kyle Beckley who says couldn't you just call both of the people in deliberate Delaware who celebrate.
Glenn Beck
It.
Justin Barkley
Instead? Yeah. Couldn't you just call both of the people there celebrating Kwanzaa instead of. Instead of posting about it? You can't make us. That's what they call the kids call the ratio, which is the response. That's where the kind of the truth, logic and comments since you have no. You really have. You just have the. No way to avoid it. You must be confronted by it. And that's. That's it. By speaking of which, I. The truth about this holiday is kind of funny because again, I, I tried to remember. I don't remember this. Anything about this as a kid. I don't remember anybody talking about it. It but you definitely see like the corporate types, you see the, like the politicians talking about it. It's just not, it's. None of it was real. It's all sort of a made up, created thing. It's been wrapped in this sort of package of this glow of unity and African heritage. But the roots are really more tangled in deception, violence, and a man whose past reeks of hypocrisy more than anything else. Kwanzaa is a seven day made up celebration from December, January 26 to January 1. To try to, try to. You're all discombobulated during that time anyway. They're trying to sort of pull you in every which direction. They touted as a beacon of black empowerment. But let's expose what it really is. It wasn't born from ancient African traditions handed down through generations. No, no, it goes all the way back to 1966. A man named Milana Karenga or Ron Everett is his real name. And so he was born Ron Ronald there in Parsonburg, Maryland Back in 1941, fresh off the Watts riots, co founded the Black nationalist group U.S. organization in 1965. And the very next year he cooked up Kwanzaa, so called Pan African holiday modeled loosely on African first fruits harvest festivals. Now those are real, but Kwanzaa is not. He claimed it was to give African Americans an alternative to Christmas. So it's really anti Christian. Well, most Marxists are in a lot of ways. Now you're starting to see the reality of what we're really up against here, what you're actually facing. Kwanzaa promotes seven principles. We just talked about some of or, or knew some of his wife did. Unity, self determination, collect. All of that. Sounds great, right? Noble. But when you dig deeper, you find this master teacher, Moana. It means in Swahili Arabic, the master teacher. That's his name, Moana, what he renamed himself. He was no saint. Dig into the roots of who this guy actually was and the irony drips thick here. Karenga preached empowerment, but in 1971 he was convicted of felony assault, torture and false imprisonment. Crimes that landed him a one to ten year sentence in a California prison. Who were the victims? Two black women from his own organization. Deborah Jones, also known as Gail Davis, and another subjected to unimaginable brutality because this man paranoidly believed they were plotting to poison him. Fueled some say by police pressure and his own drug use. Picture this war. These women were stripped naked, whipped with electrical cords, beaten with karate batons, burned with a hot soldering iron, pressed into one's mouth and against her face and had a toe crushed in a vice. Force fed detergent while horses, or, excuse me, the hoses ran water down their throats, according to the reports I'm reading. Bashed over the head with toasters. The man who created this holiday, his associates did it all in Inglewood, in his home in California, all while he denied involvement and cried political persecution. He served about four years before parole in 1975, emerging to later earn doctorates and teach African studies again. Where do you go when you fail in all these other places, like that's academia. As if a present stint could wash away any of that blood. Yet Kwanza endures, celebrated by millions who might not know or maybe choose to ignore the dark underbelly and this man, all the while mutilating black women. Police, I guess, accused him of being a police informant. He's never fully atoned. And the holiday? It's fabricated. It's phony as much as Sarah McBride is, according to the poster. It's not an ancient rite. It's made up pedal this cultural revival. Its creator's hands are stained with the very violence he claimed to fight against. So next time you light the canara. I guess that's the candle that Newsom was talking about. Just remember. And remember who Newsom is honoring in this whole thing. The roots of Kwanzaa aren't in Africa's soil. They're buried in the shadows of a convict's twisted vision. The truth sets you free, folks, but only if you dare. Take a look. More truth, logic and common sense. Up next, Barclay. And for Beck, today on the Glenn Beck program, a wise man once said, trust in God and always keep watch on the gate. I don't know about you, but that sounds like a solid plan to me. This is Glenn.

Beck. The older I get, the more I think about trust. I think about the people in my life who have my trust and earned my trust and the trust that I have placed in some people who I later learned abused that trust. I know we're alike in that way. We don't trust a lot of people anymore. It's like we're all Ronald Reagan. Trust, but always verify to make sure we're not making a mistake. I find it a little exhausting, quite honestly. And that's why I started realestate agentsitrust.com I didn't have good experiences with buying and selling my homes, so we built real estate. Agents. I trust to introduce you to one of the thousands of agents all over the country that we work with.

Episode Theme: Uncovering Massive Fraud in Minnesota's Social Services, Implications Nationwide, and Broader Political Consequences
This episode, guest hosted by Justin Barclay, centers on an explosive investigation into massive fraud within Minnesota's social services programs—particularly Somali-run daycare businesses funneling potentially billions in taxpayer dollars through fraudulent schemes. Barclay connects these revelations to a broader pattern of corruption, Democratic Party politics, NGOs, and lack of accountability, suggesting this is a nationwide—and possibly deliberate—playbook. The show features interviews with activists, politicians, and candidates, including Mike Lindell, while touching on topics of government trust, political participation, and wider national issues (Iran, urban crime, and political theater).
"You're finding out millions upon millions upon millions, hundreds of millions of dollars, probably billions before it's all said and done...It's taxpayer money that has been stolen and given out. Sounds like Democrats in some sort of...I believe there's an election scam involved here too."
"You're telling me that a 20-year-old kid can do this, but billion-dollar mega media corporations...they can't get it done. It's either incompetence, or maybe they're involved..."
"We need prosecutions that don't just stop at small fish. We need to follow the money all the way down the rabbit hole."
“This isn't a one-off, this is the blueprint and it's finally being exposed. If you thought maybe it stops at Minnesota, you're not paying attention.”
— Justin Barkley, 02:54
“There are no children inside this building. Potentially the largest fraud scandal in US history is taking place in Minnesota as literally billions of dollars have been funneled through Somali ran fraudulent businesses.”
— Concerned Citizen/Activist, 04:42
"All he had to do is go knock, knock, knock on the doors of these daycare centers. Nobody's home. And yet they're being fed millions upon millions of dollars..."
— Justin Barkley, 05:34
"Somalis just been in this country a few years. They're amateurs when it comes to fleecing the federal government. And let's face it, the federal government is probably the easiest consumer, the easiest payer to fleece."
— Sen. Ron Johnson, 15:00
"We need prosecutions that don't just stop at small fish. We need to follow the money all the way down the rabbit hole."
— Justin Barkley, 22:11
"It's a Democrat scam. This is the blueprint they use with NGOs all across the board."
— Justin Barkley, 17:34
"They're doing very similar things here [in Michigan]. They're doing it in states all across the country. Democrats, this is the playbook."
— Justin Barkley, 11:10
“Half a billion dollars of fraud within days in Minnesota alone.”
— Justin Barkley referencing SBA findings, 19:11
"If the plan is to make you discouraged and make you do nothing, that's exactly what the enemy wants. That's what they want you to think."
— Justin Barkley (on political cynicism/demoralization), 39:01
"Imagine a ship getting blown full of holes. But to guide that through...before I moved on to governor, because that's going to be a fight of all fights and getting in there and getting things changed, getting things gone."
— Mike Lindell (on running for MN Governor), 97:18
Tone: The episode takes a combative, often sarcastic and incredulous tone, especially regarding government corruption, media complicity, and progressive politics. There’s an emphasis on populist skepticism, citizen activism, and the necessity for direct action.
Underlying Theme: The fraud scandal is both a warning and a rallying cry. Listeners are urged not to become demoralized or passive—“it’s exactly what the enemy wants.” The exposure of such scandals is proof that ordinary people can reveal institutional rot and that engagement is crucial to restoring accountability.
Call to Action: Urges for transparency, legal action, and political engagement; pushes listeners to support whistleblowers, reformers, and populist candidates (e.g., Mike Lindell).
This episode exposes an unfolding, multi-billion dollar fraud in Minnesota’s Somali-run daycare and social services, positioning it as a nationwide, systemic scam enabled by Democratic policies and government/NGO collusion. Justin Barclay, along with activists, politicians, and whistleblowers, denounces cover-ups and calls for robust action—the model is a warning for the nation. In a wider context, the episode laments the decline of trust in institutions, politicization of urban governance, and the importance of informed activism. Notable contributions from Senator Ron Johnson, Scott Singer, and Mike Lindell deepen the analysis. Satirical segments on issues like Kwanzaa expose the hosts' skepticism of elite narratives and advocate for truth, transparency, and engagement.
For Listeners:
If you’re new to the scandal, this episode gives a comprehensive overview of how massive welfare fraud is enabled and perpetuated—how it ties to politics, media silence, and national trends. The call is clear: get informed, get active, and demand change on both local and national levels.
