Episode Overview

This charged and darkly comedic episode of The Rob Carson Show tackles the chaos in Minnesota relating to ICE (Immigration and Customs Enforcement) operations, violent resistance from activists, and emerging corruption scandals involving massive fraud within Somali immigrant communities. Rob Carson, joined extensively by journalist John Solomon, delivers rapid-fire commentary blending outrage, parody, and granular reporting on the intersection of law enforcement, political activism, and systemic fraud. The episode explores how local and federal actors respond to (and allegedly abet) violent unrest, money laundering, and potential election-rigging schemes, with recurring analogies and punchy asides throughout.

Key Discussion Points & Insights

1. Violent Unrest in Minnesota: ICE Operations Under Siege

• Incident Recap:
  John Solomon outlines a recent altercation where ICE attempted to detain a Venezuelan illegal immigrant. The subject fled by car, then on foot, and assaulted the officer. Two more individuals joined the attack using a snow shovel and broom handle before fleeing and barricading themselves ([00:20–01:30]).

  John Solomon (00:58): “Two subjects came out of a nearby apartment and also attacked the law enforcement officer with a snow shovel and broom handle.”

• Rob Carson’s Satirical Analogy:
  Rob uses a “Chihuahua vs. pit bull” story to satirize activists antagonizing law enforcement, comparing the escalation to his small dog learning not to mess with a larger Shar Pei ([01:43–03:19]).

  Rob Carson (01:43): “Sometimes the Chihuahua doesn't learn a lesson ... you're about ready to be in a lot of trouble.”

• Escalation & Response:
  Large numbers of ICE agents are deployed; local officials, like Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey, vacillate between anti-ICE rhetoric and pleas for calm amid confrontations. Police report “unlawful acts” from crowds, including throwing fireworks at officers ([04:31–08:27]).

  Rob Carson (04:54): “Just like I said, that sometimes the Chihuahua doesn't know when to shut its mouth. It’s like Ilhan Omar coming over here from a crap hole country...”

2. “Coordinated” Attacks and Federal Response

• Orchestrated Resistance:
  Carson and Solomon allege that anti-ICE protests are coordinated, funded by outside groups (naming George Soros, Neville Singham), and employing direct-action tactics like surveillance, harassment, and assaults on agents ([08:27–09:52]).

  John Solomon (08:33): “We are aware of this coordinated effort. We are aware that this is being financed...”

• Dramatic Increase in Attacks:
  DHS data is cited: over 1,300% surge in assaults, 3,200% in vehicular attacks, and 8,000% in death threats against ICE in 2025 alone ([09:52–10:30]).

• Upcoming Law Enforcement Actions:
  Carson and Solomon forecast DOJ/FBI response, mass investigations, and possible indictments for those financing or organizing violence ([08:47–09:52], [21:12–24:47]).

  John Solomon (23:00): “Those who are fomenting the violence, those...encouraging it, are going to face a criminal consequence... Those charges are likely coming in the next few days.”

3. Unprecedented Fraud: Money Laundering & Welfare Abuse

Massive Cash Transfers

• Somali Immigrant Operations:
  Solomon breaks major news about TSA and Homeland Security tracking $136 million in bulk cash from Somali immigrant communities through airports (Minneapolis and Columbus) since 2020, with suggestions that these networks are laundering welfare and fraudulent COVID relief funds ([12:08–13:28]).

  John Solomon (12:49): “TSA officers tracked and flagged about $136 million in bulk cash in outbound luggage... just since November 2020.”

Systemic Fraud in Welfare & Pandemic Relief

• Widespread SBA (Small Business Administration) Fraud:
  Kelly Loeffler and other oversight officials discuss uncovering $1.2 trillion in pandemic aid fraud nationally, with $400 million in fraudulent loans just in Minnesota ([16:14–17:33]).

  John Solomon (16:44): “That is with a T. It was one. That's the 1.2 trillion that ran through SBA during COVID ... about 200 billion was marked as fraudulent.”

• Local Corruption:
  Discussion centers on why Minnesota officials (Gov. Tim Walz, AG Keith Ellison) “turned a willful blind eye” to rampant fraud, suggesting possible personal or political benefit ([32:22–36:40]).

  John Solomon (33:08): “Multiple state employees ... saying I told them there was a fraud bomb ... and they turned a willful blind eye to it.”

Notable Money Movement Mechanisms

• Cash moved “off the books” in suitcases; Minneapolis as a collection/distribution hub for other Somali communities around the U.S.

• Allegations of funds supporting overseas terror groups like Al Shabaab, based on Republican congressional probes ([25:29–28:23]).

  John Solomon (26:33): “Minneapolis was a collection center... other Somali immigrant communities were pulling their money... and then from Minnesota... it was a foreign ATM machine removing large sums of cash to the United States.”

4. Political Fallout and Accountability

• Impeachment Momentum:
  Multiple references to imminent impeachment proceedings against Minnesota’s Gov. Tim Walz, criminal referrals to DOJ, and possible prosecutions of high-ranking state officials. John Solomon and Rob Carson predict “heads will roll” ([32:15–33:08]).

  Rob Carson (32:22): “I referred both the Attorney General of Minnesota as well as the Governor for a criminal referral ... to the Department of Justice.”

• Congressional Action:
  Subpoenas targeting “Somali couriers,” state officials, and institutions suspected of facilitating or ignoring fraud and money laundering ([25:53–26:13]; [31:57–32:19]).

• Election “Rigging” Theory:
  The hosts frame the entire scheme as a deliberate blue-state strategy to pad census figures, shift apportionment, and maintain political majority, accusing the Biden administration of policy manipulation to facilitate this ([28:23–29:59]).

  John Solomon (29:24): “It is, it is a blue state rigging of the election system that is unbelievable.”

5. Rise of Alternative Journalism

• Praise for Grassroots/Independent Reporting:
  Both hosts laud journalists like Nick Shirley for on-the-ground investigations exposing fraudulent daycare centers, translation services, and other shell companies that siphon public funds ([35:14–36:40]).

  John Solomon (35:14): “If you listen to him speak, he's not all that well spoken ... but he has a journalistic curiosity... look what he has discovered.”

• Collapse of Traditional Media:
  Carson and Solomon celebrate the influence of alternative and investigative outlets in bypassing the mainstream “cartel,” with direct reference to their own reach and impact ([37:45–38:37]).

Notable Quotes & Memorable Moments

• Rob Carson’s Satire:
  “Sometimes the Chihuahua doesn't learn a lesson ... you're about ready to be in a lot of trouble.” ([01:43])

• On Activist Tactics:
  “ICE activism is also involved in coordinated resistance networks ... [that] train activists in resistance methods, track ICE agents movements through mobile apps and crowdsource databases...” — Rob Carson ([10:30])

• John Solomon on Accountability:
  “Those who have funded and provided logistical planning or logistical support for these protests will be charged just like they were the protesters...” ([24:38])

• On Fraud Scale:

• On Money Laundering:
  “Where's the money coming from to get into the suitcase and then when it's sent abroad, obviously you're trying to keep it off the books. ...The fraud possibilities are absolutely stunning.” — Rob Carson ([27:47])

• On Political Fallout:

Tone & Style

• Language: Highly charged, partisan, satirical, direct, and combative.
• Frequent Use of Analogies/Humor: Carson uses dog metaphors, pop culture, and parody musical segments to drive points and lampoon political adversaries.
• Emphasis on Outrage and Exposure: Repeated hyperbole (“could be as much as 5,600 billion, half trillion dollars a year...”) and dramatic language create a tone of both incredulity and call-to-action.

For Listeners New to the Episode

The episode will feel rapid-fire and packed with both granular detail and showmanship. It tackles ICE–activist clashes, growing violence against federal officers, massive multi-layered fraud rings, and the alleged complicity or negligence of local and federal officials—framed as a national-scale, blue-state-backed political and financial conspiracy. Both the reporting and style aim to inform and outrage, blending newsroom exclusives with parody, personal anecdotes, and biting political banter.

If you’re seeking an entertaining yet bombastic deep dive into the fraught intersection of immigration enforcement, urban unrest, and public-sector corruption, this is a signature Rob Carson Show outing.

Transcript

[Rob Carson]

Hold it. Now you are about to hear the most interesting, informative, thought provoking and funny show in America on air and on the World Wide Web. This is the Rob Carson Show.

[John Solomon]

DHS says at 6:50pm Central Time tonight, quote, federal law enforcement officers were conducting a targeted traffic stop in Minneapolis of an illegal alien from Venezuela who was released in a the country by Joe Biden in 2022. In an attempt to evade arrest, the subject fled the scene in his vehicle and crashed into a parked car. The subject then fled on foot. The law enforcement officer caught up to the subject on foot and attempted to apprehend him. When the subject began to I was.

[Rob Carson]

Going to try and terrorize him because you know, he's a brown person resist.

[John Solomon]

And violently assault the officer while the subject and law enforcement were in a struggle on the ground.

[Rob Carson]

But you know, I mean the, the officer was spreading terror and stuff.

[John Solomon]

So two subjects came out of a nearby apartment and and also attacked the law enforcement officer with a snow shovel and broom handle. As the officer was being ambushed and attacked by the two individuals, the original subject got loose ending in striking the officer with a shovel or broomstick. Fearing for his life and safety as he was being ambushed by three individuals, the officer fired defensive shots to defend his life. The initial subject was hit in the leg. All three subjects ran back into the apartment and barricaded themselves like he didn't.

[Rob Carson]

Get, you know, one of those Renee.

[John Solomon]

Good treatments side the attacked officer and.

[Rob Carson]

Subject are what deserved it.

[John Solomon]

Within the hospital, both attackers are in custody. This is another attack. This is this attack on another brave member of law enforcement took place while Minnesota.

[Rob Carson]

I use the analogy about the, the, the Chihuahua and the pit bull. Remember that when I told you about that. Well, the, the pit bull, the, the gate is about to be opened and the Chihuahua yipping at the pit bull on the other side of the fence is about to get its ass bit. Donald Trump says if the corrupt politicians of Minnesota don't obey the law and stop the professional agitators and insurrectionists from attacking the patriots of ice we are only trying to who are only trying to do the job. I will institute the Insurrection act which many presidents have done before and quickly put it into the travesty that is taking place in that once great state. And I think the people of Minnesota are tired of it. You know and the thing is there are some people who are like the sometimes the Chihuahua doesn't learn a lesson. I had a little dog and it was a sheets. No Pekingese. It was Pekingese and her name was Gizmo. And she was about eight pounds. And there was this Shar Pei that lived next door. And this Shar pei is like 85 pounds. And she, this was a little, you know, a little aggressive dog, kind of like, you know, Adam Schiff, you know, kind of a, an aggressive little dog didn't know when to shut its mouth. And she went after one day without the fence there and without the, you know, the, the, the leash from the, from the other dog on. Went after that Shar Pei and that Shar Pei grabbed my little, my little do. Threw her across the yard. And she came running up to me and yike, yike, yike. And cowering around my life. Never messed with the Shar Pei again. I'll just tell you that. Never, never mess with that Sharpe again. But sometimes people just don't understand. They know maybe it's the best time to just sit down and shut your mouth because you're about ready to get. You're about ready to be in a lot of trouble. Tim V obviously didn't get the message. You have an absolute right to peacefully film ICE agents as they conduct these act. But you see, that's not what they're doing. They, they actually attacked a nice vehicle. They gutted its contents, spread all sorts of paperwork all over the ground. Wrecked. Wrecked the vehicle. They're attacking ICE with, with bottles of water and fireworks, you see.

[John Solomon]

So carry your phone with you at all times. And if you see these ICE agents in your neighborhood, take out that phone and hit record.

[Rob Carson]

Help us create a database of the atrocities against Minnesota. There are no atrocities being committed at all. That's a blatant lie in an att foment rage and anger and violence against law enforcement, you jerk. Not just to establish a record for posterity, but to bank evidence for future prosecution. Yeah, there ain't gonna be any prosecution. You're gonna be prosecuted, junior. You are in all sorts of trouble, my friend. Oh, my God. You are in all sorts of trouble. Here's Tim Wiltz trying to use people's color. It is so utterly preposterous. I can't wait till the day that he is frog marked out of the governor's mansion in handcuffs. And I believe that going to happen.

[John Solomon]

Federal government is raining down upon our communities.

[Rob Carson]

Two to three thousand armed agents of.

[John Solomon]

The federal government have been deployed to Minnesota. Armed, masked, under trained ICE agents.

[Rob Carson]

Okay, he just. This is, this is. By the way, this is defund the Police 2.0 and how well that worked for them are going door to door.

[John Solomon]

Ordering People to point out where their.

[Rob Carson]

Neighbors of color live. Yeah, just like I said, that sometimes the Chihuahua doesn't know when to shut its mouth. It's like Ilhan Omar going on tv, you know, coming over here from a crap hole country, marrying her brother to get him in the country and, and then of course, you know, setting up all these nonprofits and whatnot with her Somali brothers and sisters and 89% of the Somali population in Minnesota on some sort of welfare because by and large, the, the people of Somalia come from an absolute crap whole country and they don't know how to govern themselves over there and they bring their crap here. So there is that. Now, this is Jacob Fry, the Justin Trudeau of Minneapolis. The, the fop soy boy mayor of Minneapolis, talking tough the other day, because you know what? He was a Chihuahua. And on the other side of that fence was the pit bull. I have a message for ICE to ice. Get the. Out of Minneapolis. Now. That of course precipitated the deployment of a thousand more ICE troops. There you go. A thousand ICE troops. A thousand more ICE law enforcement officers. And of course, didn't work so well yesterday. He was backtracking in the most pass passive aggressive way possible. And for anyone that is taking the bait tonight, stop. That is not helpful. Go home. We cannot counter. See, he's, he's being passive aggressive. He's saying that the ICE agents are baiting them in by arresting criminal illegal aliens when actually the, the, the activists are being baited by, by you and following on ICE officers and working. Neville Singham and George Soros backed leftist Marxist organizations to dox and chase and harass and even assault ICE officers. So you, you started the fight there, junior. Donald Trump's chaos with our own brand of chaos. And I have seen thousands of people throughout our city peacefully protest. Yeah, no, they're not at all. That's, that's absolute crap. For those that have peacefully protested, I applaud you. For those that are taking the bait. You are not helping. It's not bait and you are not helping. The undocumented immigrants in our city while the undocumented immigrants, they're illegal aliens. You're not helping. Yeah, I think they're starting to realize that they pushed the pit bull. They poked the pit bull just about far enough. And here is the Minneapolis police chief, by the way, talking about the, the peaceful protesters. And it doesn't look like old Justin Fry over there has them on his side. Minneapolis police have secured the crime scene around the location, and the Minnesota Bureau of Criminal Apprehension, as well as the FBI are on the scene processing the evidence. Yeah, There's a crowd gathered in the area, and we have called for mutual aid from the Minnesota State Patrol and Hennepin County Sheriff. The crowd is engaging in unlawful acts. What? That is peaceful protest. What are you talking about? County Sheriff, the crowd is engaging in unlawful acts. They have thrown fireworks at police officers and in multiple times, gas. Clearly they were being baited. Has been deployed. Police are attempting to disperse this unlawful assembly. At this time, I urge anyone that is at the scene to leave immediately. Yeah, yeah. Because, you know, old Tom Holman. Tom Holman's been pushed a little bit too far as well, and he's about to bite back as well.

[John Solomon]

I just left the meeting about 20.

[Rob Carson]

Minutes ago here at the White House. I can say. I can't say a lot.

[John Solomon]

Let me say this.

[Rob Carson]

We are aware of this coordinated effort. We are aware that this is being financed. We are aware that there are actual.

[John Solomon]

Groups, well, coordinated to attack the men and women of ICE and to try.

[Rob Carson]

To prevent them from doing their jobs.

[John Solomon]

Accountability is coming because we're working very.

[Rob Carson]

Closely with doj, the FBI, hsi.

[John Solomon]

We're doing a deep dive into this.

[Rob Carson]

Yeah, we'll follow the mine. We'll follow these groups, will investigate these groups. Justice has come to these people. Yeah. You know Renee Goode, she tried to run over that ICE officer the other day, and it turns out when her vehicle struck him, this Jonathan Ross, he suffered internal bleeding in the torso. Yeah, not exactly just driving away. Renee Goode. Renee Goode, of course, was a trained activist. She was trained to do exactly what she did, and ultimately it cost her life. Because if you poke that pit bull enough, you are gonn. You are going to get bit. And this is another childish temper tantrum. We've had this crap going on forever. This. According to Antonio Graceflo, gateway pundit. The U.S. department of Homeland Security reported a sharp surge in violence against Immigration and Customs Enforcement, citing more than 1,300% increase in assaults, 3,200% rise in vehicular attacks, 8,000% increase in death threats. According to DHS data, from January 30 to December 31, 2025, there were 275 reported assaults on ICE officer. That's not peaceful protests there. Justin Turtle. ICE activism is also involved in coordinated resistance networks that employ surveillance harassment, interference tactics organizations, train activists in resistance methods, track ICE agents movements through mobile apps and crowdsource databases, and conduct campaigns designed to obstruct immigration enforcement operations. And it's about time they got a beat down. And they're using this for a couple different fronts. Democrats like, like Tim to cover up the massive fraud that he's going to go to jail for and a lot of people are going to go to jail for. And then also to keep the illegals here that they can guarantee to vote slavishly Democrat while you and the other taxpayers suffer, suffer living paycheck to paycheck, paying massive taxes and getting nothing in but having your money taken away from you and given to illegals, including those from the meth lab trailer park of the world, which happens to be Somalia. Yeah, there you go. All right. We got so much to get to on the show. John Solomon joins us at the bottom of the hour. He has got some breathtaking news. They have smuggled $1 billion in cash in suitcases out of several airports, including Minneapolis, St. Paul. Where is a million dollars in a suitcase coming from? Why isn't that a problem? And it happened hundreds and hundreds and hundreds and hundreds and hundreds of times. This is money laundering. Scott Bessant is going after those who laundered the money and Kristi Noem is going after the illegals that did it. Hell is coming. John Solomon's got some great news on that. The number is 800-922-6680. This is the Rob Carson Show. The Rob Carson show podcast is everywhere. Go to Newsmax.com listen for details. We've got more to break for you.

[John Solomon]

Tonight on Somali brought in. Minnesota federal agents investigating a Somali immigrant operation that moved massive amounts of cash and suitcases from the Minneapolis airport to overseas have uncovered a new leg of that courier journey. Guess where it was in the middle of America. Columbus, Ohio. Homeland Security Department officials told just the News that Transportation Security Administration officers tracked and flagged about $136 million in bulk cash that was in outbound luggage.

[Rob Carson]

Nothing to see here. Just, you know, Somalis putting a million dollars of cash in a suitcase and shipping it back to Somalia. Nothing. Move along here. Nothing. Oh, hey, hold on. Is that toothpaste? We got to confiscate that toothpaste. How dare you get on a plane.

[John Solomon]

With toothpaste since your checkpoints at John Glenn Columbus International airport just since November 2020. You know what the Biden administration, 1,000.

[Rob Carson]

Whistleblowers in Minnesota screaming to the high heavens. Tim Waltz doing something about it. Tim Waltz goes after the whistleblowers interested.

[John Solomon]

In asking what was going on. They just waved the cash through. The officials said the these transactions appear to have uncovered a Massive cash movement operation that gathered money from multiple Somali immigrant communities, packaged it up, sent it to Minneapolis, where it would then be sent on flights overseas. It was essentially a foreign ATM cash machine.

[Rob Carson]

We're going to. Unbelievable. And it was our money. It was your money, by the way, in case you wanted to know, man, I got to tell you. Oh, man, there's got to be some hell to pay. Here is Scott Besson. He's a Treasury Secretary. And, you know, he might end up being the head of the Fed. Who the hell knows? But he is in kind of the de facto head of the IRS as well. And they're going after the people who. Not only the people who took the money, stuff that suitcases, sent it over there, but also the. The banks and institutions that laundered it.

[John Solomon]

Civil Enforcement is auditing financial institutions that facilitated the laundering of Minnesota funds.

[Rob Carson]

In addition to helping support criminal and.

[John Solomon]

Civil enforcement efforts, the IRS will also soon announce the formation of a task force.

[Rob Carson]

Ooh, this kind of reminds me of. Of what they did with Al Capone. You know, they went after the. They went after the money. I love it, love it, love it. So funny. Like, 20 years ago with a friend of mine, I went to Vegas with him, and he was a high roller, and we get free food and stuff in Vegas and all that. And one time he won $33,000 playing blackjack, and he got a rectal probe when he tried to take that money back on the airplane. But somehow, I guess if you're from the meth lab trailer park of the world, which is Somalia, you're able to get around, get away with it without any problems, whatever. It is remarkable. And of course, it is massively, massively corrupt and crooked, and it has been stealing trillions of dollars. Me, as taxpayers, honestly, we. Honestly, the abuses and usurpations of the founders pale by comparison to what we had done to us the last decade or so. An ATM for the worst of the worst. This is. You know, when I say people move to Washington, D.C. they spend their entire lives telling us how to live ours, and they enrich themselves in the process. Did you hear Kamala Harris, who's dumb as a box of rocks without the rocks, just bought an $8 million house paid cash there in Malib, apparently, just downwind from all those houses that are still sitting there. I should say the concrete slabs where they used to be, because only less than a dozen have been rebuilt after 12,000 burned, thanks to the malfeasance of an idiot mayor and an idiot governor as well. This is Kelly Loeffler, she is head of the Small Business Administration. And remember when they used Covid to go after Donald Trump, destroy his economy, and then usher in a massive, massive increase in federal spending and increase the federal budget to seven troops trillion dollars in perpetuity. Remember that? Well, guess what they did with it. Fraud that you are uncovering. Now, we're talking about Somali fraud. We're talking about foreigners coming in again, bilking off the system. Yeah. What have you uncovered?

[John Solomon]

What are you investigating right now? Well, that's right.

[Rob Carson]

I mean, this is on the Charlie.

[John Solomon]

Kirk show from day one. We came in and I said, I will have a zero tolerance policy on fraud. We convened a task force right away. I called for an audit of the agency. Passed an audit in four years. And really, Trump likes to say, same.

[Rob Carson]

Way with the dod.

[John Solomon]

You're the biggest bank in the. Well, guess what? The biggest bank in the country is going to finally have an audit where we're accountable for the shortcomings. That includes investigating fraud.

[Rob Carson]

We need a number on this headline right here. Investigating 1.2 trillion.

[John Solomon]

That is with a T. It was one. That's the 1.2 trillion that ran through SBA during COVID while our own OIG said that about 200 billion was marked as fraudulent. And guess what? The Biden administration, they robbed you while.

[Rob Carson]

They shut your business down, your church down, and kept your kids out of school. Wow.

[John Solomon]

They started forgiving it, sweeping it under the rug. Exactly right. And so we came in and said, we're going back. We're looking at it all. And that's what we did when it came to Minnesota. As soon as that came on the radar, I asked the team to dig through the Minnesota loans. They immediately found about 7,000 borrowers. 400 million in fraudulent loans in Minnesota alone. That tells you that there are billions and billions out the door fraudulently to thousands that should never touch SBA services again, and they need to be referred to the doj. And that's what we're doing.

[Rob Carson]

I swear to God, Heaven. I mean, I had no idea how bad we were getting screwed. Just see, it's breathtaking. The reason why we're $38 trillion in debt. Now we have enough money, we're paying enough taxes, we're paying for their fraud. Oh, my God in heaven. I swear to God. Some heads have to roll. Heads have to roll. Price of gold, 46, 15 today. Silver is 90. Almost $92. Almost $92. Silver is $92. Precious metals are just taking off. Right. Global uncertainty and whatnot. A lot of pit bulls barking, I should say Chihuahuas on the other side of the fence barking at pit bulls. And Donald Trump is putting down the gate. Denmark's getting in line now among Tim. Tim or not Tim Waltz, but the mayor, Jacob Fry of Minneapolis. Starting to get in line here. But doesn't mean that things are going to be easier with regard to global currency and the price of gold is going to keep going as long as things are uncertain. Among other things. Among other things. And it's on a meteoric rise if you're a first time gold buyer. Birch Gold offering a rebate up to $10,000 on qualifying purchases. Pretty soon that $10,000 will buy you 2 ounces. It's only $400 away from $5,000 an ounce. Unbelievable, right? Text my name Rob to 989-898 Text my name Rob to 989898. If you would like to get the ball rolling, get some more information on gold. Claim your eligibility for up to $10,000 for qualifying purchase. Again, text Rob to 9,898 984615 on gold today. Silver above $91. Close to $92 an ounce for silver. I know. It's stunning, isn't it? It's crazy. The one, the only, one of the greatest journalists of our lives makes Woodward and Bernstein look like, you know, they should be working at the National Enquirer. No, they're not good enough to do. But anyway, John Solomon, just the news with with all the breaking corruption out of Minnesota and elsewhere coming up next. Don't go anywhere.

[John Solomon]

So the big news that we got in the last 24 hours, whistleblowers is that Tom Emmer, the number three member of the House Republican leadership, he has confirmed on the record that congressional investigators are now now have Minnesota state employees. We've known that there were these whistleblowers, these state legislators were talking to them. They've now become federal and congressional whistleblowers.

[Rob Carson]

Now John Solomon. I could think of no better way to introduce John Solomon then with some more John Solomon because I got to tell you, I can't get enough. John Solomon.

[John Solomon]

Good to be with you, Rob.

[Rob Carson]

John, I tell you what man, I have never seen such a news cycle in my life as I have been seeing the last couple of weeks. And just the news, you guys are nailing it, bro.

[John Solomon]

Well, thank you so much. There's so much truth to report. The extraordinary events, the world is being reshaped before.

[Rob Carson]

Yes, yes.

[John Solomon]

And you know, whether it's Cuba and Venezuela and Iran on the brink of collapse or the Insurrection act being invoked maybe to put down this really war like tactics of the Minnesota protesters, these are not peaceful protests, free speech protests. These are tactical war acts that these protesters are doing. Driving their cars into people, hitting them with shovels, throwing objects at them. We're living in extraordinary times. And I think the resolution of these next year or two, they're going to define about 50 years of the American experience.

[Rob Carson]

100%. I said that after Donald Trump's election, which they tried to prevent in every way, shape and form. I mean they threw everything at him. John, you know what we see with Yara Bolsonaro in Brazil is what that they wanted to do to Donald Trump. It is exactly what they wanted and they weren't. Donald Trump is the only person who could do it and they're and consequently I keep reminded of Tombstone. Remember when Kurt Russell and the guys said I'm coming and I'm bringing hell with me. That's what's happening. But the thing is we're finding so much bloody corruption. Let's start with the Insurrection Act. Jacob Fry, still passive aggressively blaming Ice for it, but telling people, you guys gotta go home. It sounds like the Chihuahua yipping at the pit bull on the other side of the fence. The fence is no longer there. What's going on?

[John Solomon]

Well, first off, they're not going home. There's no Chance they're going home. And of course, they're now beginning to get some court rulings that lean in the favor of the President and his ability to enforce immigration laws on the books. It is a federal law enforcement responsibility, not a local for a law enforcement responsibility. And the creation of this crisis is in these blue state sanctuary and blue city sanctuary laws. They are giving refuge to people who are essentially on the land. They should not be in the country. They should be rounded up. They're fugitives and they're supposed to be thrown out of the country. But. But these blue cities and these blue states have been protecting them in violation of our law. And it's no different when I talk to law enforcement. They see no difference in this than if someone were holding a bank robber as a fugitive and trying to keep them from being arrested. This administration is not going to stop. The courts are not going to stop it. Whether it's the Insurrection act or some other form of invocation, the President is going to bring peace to these towns because that's what the American people expect. And those who are fomenting the violence, those who are implicitly and explicitly encouraging it, are going to face a criminal consequence. I think it's really important that last Friday, the FBI director, Castor, said to just the news, those who have funded and provided logistical planning or logistical support for these protests will be charged just like they were the protesters. In other words, if you give money or you help them plan this, you get them the bricks, the rocks, you teach them the tactics, you're going to get charged as a conspirator in an effort to impede law enforcement and obstruct justice. Those charges are likely coming in the next few days.

[Rob Carson]

I like to wish against a hope here that, you know, George Soros will be extradited with Neville Singham. I doubt that's going to happen.

[John Solomon]

But wouldn't it be more people on the ground? Maybe there are people on the ground. Get rounded up. And listen, at some point, point, if you're serious about stopping this sort of violence, because this is not protest. I'm all for protecting people's right to protest. Even if it's an offensive protest, we'll let them do it. But this isn't protest. This is violence. This is assault. This is creating public mayhem and public risk. I mean, you're driving down, might be charging someone and a car pulls out to try to block it. That cop could run into you. That's not the cop's fault. No, that's the people who are creating the protest.

[Rob Carson]

Yeah. Now, I want to mention, and you broke last night, that there is a massive connection with regard to this money laundering. Suitcases full of money flying out of Minneapolis, St. Paul. 700 million. And now you drew a line to Columbus, Ohio. And by the way, that story was broken by somebody from Columbus on social media saying, hey, you got to come to Columbus and check out what's going on here. Second largest Somali community. Unbelievable. Tell me about it, John.

[John Solomon]

Yeah, so listen, we're getting the signs now. And I just talked to James Comer and Rand Paul. So James Comer, the House Oversight Committee chairman, most powerful investigator in the House, Rand Paul, the Senate Homeland Security chairman, really, for this sort of stuff, the most powerful guy. And they're both planning to subpoena these Somali couriers. Here's what you have.

[Rob Carson]

We all move.

[John Solomon]

If we want to send money overseas, we have lots of ways. We can go through a bank, go through a remittance center, we can do a wire. For some reason, these Somali immigrants have been moving hundreds of millions of dollars in cash in luggage. By the way, way not the most convenient way to move cash, but it is a way if you're trying to prevent the tracking of the cash.

[Rob Carson]

Yes.

[John Solomon]

We first learned that the Transportation Security Administration knew about this all the way back to 2018 and have been flagging it routinely during the Biden. Something's not right here. No one was interested in investigating. The last two years, $350 million a year or $1 million a day, was moving out of Minneapolis. What we now learn is that Minneapolis was a collection center. That what was going on was that other Somali immigrant communities were pulling their money, putting it in a suitcase in Columbus and moving into Minnesota. And then from Minnesota, you know where it moved? It moved somewhere in the United States. It moved out of the United States. It was a foreign ATM machine removing large sums of cash to the United States. The concern that TSA had was that this was tied to terrorism or fraud. The concern that Tom Emmer, the number three House Republican and a Minnesota state congressman, or Minnesota congressman, is that some of this Money, at least 5 million of this money, ultimately made its way to Al Shaba, a terror group and more. So what we're hearing now, Comer and Rand Paul said today, we are going to drop subpoenas and we're going to bring these couriers in and find who is giving you the money and where are you sending it.

[Rob Carson]

Well, it's money laundering, John. That's the only reason. It's money laundering. Where's the money coming from to get into the suitcase and then when it's sent abroad, obviously you're trying to keep it off the books. And I would assume some of that money might have been given to people to shut up about it. I mean, this is the fraud possibilities are absolutely stunning. Absolutely stunning. And it looks like Besant is going to be going after those institutions who were involved in laundering this money because you don't just get cash like this unless some agencies, maybe banks are involved. Do you suppose?

[John Solomon]

Well, that'll be a big thing. How did this get all converted to cash from whatever sources? Yes, there's a law now, sadly, we're just starting that work now. This should have been flagged and investigate years ago and cut off. But that was the Biden administration. And what you see now is a continuum. And I've had more than a dozen lawmakers come on my show in the last couple days and say listen, this was an organized hijacking of American politics, American elections and Americans tax dollars. And it starts like this. The battleground states are getting more red in the 2015, 2020 timeframe. Democrats are losing their ability to win the electoral college. The first thing they do is change apportionment. They change the census rules so that legal aliens can count towards your both your congressional representation and your federal funds distribution. That's called apportionment. Then Joe Biden opens the borders and people flood in. Then there is a nonprofit system that move from the border states of Texas where they don't want them to the inland to these blue cities in battleground states. And then to keep and sustain that population there, they allow them to go on welfare even though our say, our laws say no welfare for immigrants. But what Joe Biden did, he created a class of wide monstrous number of people that were just let in under the guise of they were refugees. They get around the ban on welfare and then when the welfare is not enough, what do they do? They steal the welfare and then move the money out of the country. It is, it is a blue state rigging of the election system that is unbelievable. Fraud is really helping us to understand.

[Rob Carson]

John, can you hold on through the break? I've got many more questions. I want to talk about the new Nick Shirley videos out there. Also protected status for Somalians going away. That could spell real trouble for them. Let's take a break and come back more with John Solomon from Just the News. Just the News dot com. If you're not watching it every day, you're missing the boat, baby. Let's Take a break and come back. This is the Rob Carson Show. Hey guys, it's Carson for Relief Factor. You know, I saw an ad for Relief Factor a while back and I saw a guy literally in tears with how he talked about the pain that he was experienced was gone. It happened to me too. I started taking a few months ago. My hip was really bothering me and I wondered because I'm the age of, you know, replacement of joints and whatnot, if it could be better. And I started taking Relief Factor and it healed. It's a 100% drug free research based formula created to help your body's natural inflammatory response.

Go to relieffactor.com that's relieffactor.com and feel the difference. Relief Factor. Because getting out of bed shouldn't count as a workout. Well, I did hear from Chairman Comer that he will be subpoenaing the Attorney General of Minnesota. But also too, in our last hearing.

[John Solomon]

We did hear directly from some of the Republican state legislators and actually did.

[Rob Carson]

Ask them extensive questions in regards to.

[John Solomon]

What and who was covering up the information.

[Rob Carson]

Obviously, fraud has been going on for.

[John Solomon]

Some time and we also want to.

[Rob Carson]

Know if investigations were being shut down.

[John Solomon]

Or if there was pressure campaigns being put on them by both the Governor.

[Rob Carson]

And the Attorney General.

[John Solomon]

And as result of their testimony, actually.

[Rob Carson]

Last week I referred both the Attorney.

[John Solomon]

General of Minnesota as well as the.

[Rob Carson]

Governor for a criminal referral, referral and investigation to the Department of Justice. Yeah, yeah, the feces is hitting the fan, as I like to say. And of course Tim is also being impeached. He's going to be impeached in the state of Minnesota. And it is, it is remarkable, a remarkable turn of events from a guy who was supposed to be the a heartbeat away from the presidency. John Solomon, from just the news, what do you suppose I mean it's hard to say when, but it sounds like charges will be coming down for Minnesota officials maybe reaching all the way to the top of the food chain with Tim Voltz, Ilhan Omar maybe, and certainly Keith Ellison. Because if Nick Shirley can just walk up to a door and discover fraud, surely they knew it was going on on.

[John Solomon]

No, you're exactly right. This is a, this is a big moment in the accountability realm because what you now have, assuming that what Tom Emmer, the number three House Republican and what Rand Paul and James Comer told us in the last 24 hours is multiple state employees who directly interacted with Governor Waltz and Attorney General Ellison saying I told them there was a fraud bomb, we need to protect the taxpayer and the money and this federal money that the state was saving and they turned a willful blind eye to it. That becomes negligence under the standards. It becomes a failure to protect or meet the standard of your contract, of your grant money that the state got. And that puts both of those. Tom Emmer, number three House Republican, not a guy that you know, gets way out in front of people, said, I believe you will see law enforcement slap handcuffs on Tim Waltz in the near future based on the evidence he has seen. So you've got that going on and you've got the articles of impeachment about to be introduced in Minnesota. And then meanwhile you may have the former president, the former first lady and former Secretary Bill Clinton next week they'll be found in contempt of Congress according to James Comer, James Comer last night Chairman of House Oversight confirming on our show they have enough votes on the floor to find them in contempt, which means they're going to be banning, they're going to be Navarro borrowed. Wow. Wow, that'll be historic. A former first president facing a criminal contempt charge.

[Rob Carson]

Wow, that's epic. Now we'll just see if they have the cojones to actually do something good. Nick Shirley out again. Can you believe this kid? I mean if you listen to him speak, he's not all that well spoken. He talks like a 23 year old kid. But he has a journalistic curiosity that abc, cbs, NBC, npr, pbs, whatever the hell they left behind. And look what he has discovered. Now he's out here and he's, and he's finding these transportation companies who weren't transportating anybody. Then you got these English translation services that weren't translating $100 an hour, eight hours a day. I mean my God, every which way shape and form they could possibly defraud the American taxpayer They did in Minnesota and now around the country.

[John Solomon]

Well, listen, that. And I'm good on Nick Shirley. And you know, we live in an era where most journalists don't do the work that used to be done. In fact, they turn a blind eye to it if it doesn't match their political ideology. And that is a disservice service to the American public and to the news industry. We first wrote our very first stories about this massive fraud scheme in August of 2024. Why? Because Tim Waltz had just been named to be Kamala Harris's running mate. And we felt it was important that the American public know before they vote that there was this massive scandal. We documented the food fraud, the autism fraud.

[Rob Carson]

Yes.

[John Solomon]

And what Nick Shirley did is he gave it life on the ground. He went out and took the data that we have had and he personified. He went to the daycare centers. He went to the thing. And in between those two times, we were very grateful. Federal prosecutors reached out to Justin News and we said, hey, all of our documents are up online. And so you start to see the prosecutors ramping up the fraud. The big question now is why? It's no longer going to be in doubt within the next few weeks that Tim Waltz and Keith Ellison turned a blind eye. The question is why? Was there some personal benefit to them? Was there some a political benefit to the Democratic Party or the Democratic establishment? The why will become the most important part of this scandal soon. Was this a Democratic blueprint to defraud taxpayers, to hijack the election and reinforcement system in America?

[Rob Carson]

You know, what amazes me is that they chose Tim Walsh for a reason. And I had heard the other day it was about fundraising because it was announced the Democrat party got $35 million, probably in cash, delivered through an airport. But you got to think that they had a lot of humors thinking they were going to pull this while they're going to win this. And they wanted somebody who was, I guess, as morally vacant as Tim Waltz to continue this on a national scale, to continue this grift on a national scale. And now it's being exposed.

[John Solomon]

Yeah. And I have a funny feeling it was already nationalized by 2024. I saw a picture the other day. A pyramid right. In Minnesota is the top of the pyramid. In California is the wide bottom. I think when we get to California, into New York and Illinois and New Jersey, you're going to see a scope of fraud that, you know, I think the treasury secretary said it could be as much as 5,600 billion, half trillion dollars a year. Just get that fraud out of the system. We've reduced our deficit by a significant amount already. And bad on all those people who defrauded the government and all those who allowed it. They deserve the American.

[Rob Carson]

And you know the amazing thing about all of this, John, is that it elevated you. It elevated Matt Taibbi, Michael Shellenberger, all these people to these, these positions where we really, really respect journalism. And you've got this incredible platform you did not have. I did not have. I have a studio in friggin old town Alexandria. I reached millions of people because they dropped the ball.

[John Solomon]

Yeah, no, that's it. Journalism turned its back on facts somewhere. Mid 2015s at least the traditional industry didn't. It opened the door for those of us who just wanted to keep telling the truth. And we're grateful. You know, the readers consume us and you no longer, you know, I heard in 2018, 19, 21, starting this. Oh, you're. It's great that you're doing this, but you can't reach enough people. We reach enough people, we actually get around the blockade. The cartel of the traditional media has been broken. And that's good for the public. Competition always been a good thing in America.

[Rob Carson]

One of the. John Solomon. Thank you, bro. And I know they'll be opening just the news bureaus around the country, like McDonald's for God's sake, in the next year. All right, brother. Take care of yourself. Thank you so much. Just the news dot com. You bet. Let's take a break and come back. This is the Rob Carson show. Shirley couldn't find a single legit business.

[John Solomon]

Yes, we're wondering where Silver Mountain. Silver Mountain.

[Rob Carson]

Silver mountain. It says 2722 Park Avenue.

[John Solomon]

Silver Mountain here.

[Rob Carson]

Silver Mountain. You don't have a permission to do that. Okay, so Silver Mountain does not exist. Oh, another Nick Shirley video. Baby, there's nobody. No kids at the daycare. No kids at the daycare. Kids at Somali daycare. They have none. Jim cast it kids. No, they haven't got a single one. Now where the kids, they get federal funding for daycare. When you walk into their centers, you won't find one there. Just say you got autumn non existent. Yes, it's a scam. Need to ride in a non existent. Car was new, but he didn't give a damn. Need a translator. Somali fro. They committed to prison. They should go. Oh yeah. Stop using phony kids for dough. Kids daycare centers with none inside. Crooks they can run, but they can't. Oh, baby, come on.

[John Solomon]

The case of against them solid.

[Rob Carson]

You could call it airtight Cause there isn't a kid in sight. Hey, this is brand new from Jim Gazer. I'll tell you what. You know I told you that this we were the reaction to the action of evil. That the, that the yin and the yang, the yan is is here right now and we are seeing the exposition of evil and graft and corruption we never even had dreamed in the United States of America. The people in charge of the United States of America there would have to be a baptism by fire after 250 years of baptism by fire for us to survive another 250 years. And the SOBs who did this to our country need to pay for it with their freedom and their fortunes that they have stolen from us. And every Somalian who came in here and perpetrated this fraud or lied about their kids having autism or whatever. If you got a dime surreptitiously from the American taxpayer, Bayer, get your butts back to Somalia. And that includes every ethnic group that did anything like this, jail or deportation. Our number two, Nick Shirley's new amazing video is on the way. Don't go anywhere. Chris.
