‘Fraudsters Are Scrambling’ as Hundreds of Homeland Investigators Descend on Minnesota

/

Homeland Security investigators are actively uncovering widespread fraud tied to taxpayer-funded organizations in Minnesota, according to an exchange between Jason Chaffetz and Tricia McLaughlin that also featured a CNN clip involving Abby Phillip and Christine Quinn.

The discussion highlighted ongoing federal enforcement actions, criticism of delayed responses by state and federal agencies, and sharp disagreement over how the issue has been framed in national media.

Chaffetz opened the discussion by noting that further developments were expected and welcomed McLaughlin to explain the scope of the investigation.

“Tricia McLaughlin says there’s more to come, and she joins us tonight. All right, Tricia, thank you so much. What are the agents looking for and what have they found so far?” Chaffetz asked.

McLaughlin said federal authorities are actively operating across Minnesota and examining multiple types of organizations that receive public funds.

“Jason, thank you so much for having me. As we speak, our Homeland Security investigators, hundreds are on the ground. They’re knocking doors. They’re going to local businesses that are going to these sites where we believe that there is rampant fraud, whether it be day care centers, health care centers, or other organizations that take taxpayer dollars,” she said.

She added that investigators are encountering efforts to conceal wrongdoing.

“Our homeland security investigators on the ground are also seeing that these suspected perpetrators are really trying to cover their tracks. They’re trying to whitewash the operational facts on the ground, purporting to be a legitimate business have legitimate business operations when it’s all a Fugazi,” McLaughlin said.

She said investigators are continuing to coordinate with other federal agencies. “So we’re going to continue to ask those questions. We’re learning more and more, especially with the FBI and our DOJ partners on the ground.”

Chaffetz responded by questioning claims that federal agencies acted quickly, pointing to the length of time concerns have been raised.

“Well, a lot of this comes through Health and Human Services. And look, I understand that the assistant, whatever title he was, said, Oh, they’re taking immediate action,” he said.

“But to be honest with you, Tricia, this has been going on for years.”

He continued by arguing that responsibility ultimately lies with state leadership.

“To say they’ve taken immediate action that probably should have happened a year ago. This doesn’t flow through Homeland Security. It flows through health and human services, but ultimately, is the responsibility of the governor and the state of Minnesota,” Chaffetz said.

“But to say they took immediate actions, with all due respect, these reports go back almost 10 years.”

McLaughlin agreed that earlier failures occurred and said the current administration has moved aggressively.

“No, you’re absolutely right, Jason, either they’re culpable or they bury their head in the sand,” she said.

She pointed to actions taken since President Trump returned to office.

“But fortunately, President Trump, Secretary Noem, and the entire administration, this is an all hands on deck operation.”

She cited funding freezes and expanded law enforcement operations.

“You saw HHS freezing that funding, SBA freezing that funding. FBI is on the ground. We have surged hundreds of officers from Homeland Security Investigations,” McLaughlin said.

She added that enforcement efforts are already producing results.

“But if you rewind even a month, we saw that this problem was happening. We have arrested more than 500 criminal legal aliens off of the streets of Minneapolis alone.”

McLaughlin also said immigration-related fraud is being investigated.

“We have a wide scale investigation into immigration fraud with our USCIS partners, so the Trump administration is not resting on our laurels. We will get answers and accountability for the American people,” she said.

Chaffetz then played a CNN clip and asked for McLaughlin’s reaction.

Abby Phillip said, “This is an attempt to make this about Somalis in general, as opposed to just about the people who are responsible. It’s not really about the fraud.”

Christine Quinn added, “This is absolutely an attack on the Somali community and on immigrants writ large. Right to further say negative things and most, the vast majority, of the Somali residents of Minnesota are citizens. They’re not new immigrants.”

Chaffetz responded sarcastically, saying, “Yes, racism, Tricia, you know, just because it’s fraud, we should ignore it because, you know, they might be from, you know, somewhere in Africa.”

McLaughlin rejected CNN’s framing and said the focus should remain on fraud and misuse of taxpayer funds.

“It’s amazing to me, but of course, it shouldn’t surprise me that CNN makes this about race baiting when reality is about stopping fraud and abuse and being responsible for US taxpayer dollars,” she said.

She praised independent reporting on the issue.

“I think people across the aisle, Republican, Democrat, Independent, doesn’t matter. We should be praising Nick Shirley. He’s did courageous and really remarkable journalism, and CNN should have been ahead of this all along, as well as the rest of the mainstream media.”

Chaffetz closed the segment by thanking McLaughlin. “Amen to that Trisha McLaughlin, Thank you and happy new year,” he said.

Tim Walz Scrambles as Viral Video Blows Open Minnesota Fraud Scandal

/

Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz pushed back this week against expanding fraud allegations tied to state-funded programs, following the rapid spread of a viral video that drew renewed attention to suspected misuse of public money involving childcare and learning centers in the Minneapolis area.

The controversy intensified after conservative YouTuber Nick Shirley released a 42-minute video on Friday documenting visits to multiple facilities in and around Minneapolis.

In the video, Shirley and a Minnesota resident identified as David traveled to locations allegedly owned by Somali immigrants and funded through state programs.

According to the footage, several sites appeared closed despite posted signage indicating they were operating, while staff at other locations declined to participate in on-camera interviews.

One building shown in the video displayed a sign reading “Quality Learing Center,” with the word “learning” misspelled.

In the video, Shirley said the center was listed as serving at least 99 children and had received roughly $4 million in state funds.

The video’s claims and visuals quickly spread online, drawing national attention and prompting responses from state and federal officials.

A spokesperson for Walz addressed the allegations in a statement to Fox News, saying the governor has taken sustained action to address fraud risks.

“The governor has worked for years to crack down on fraud and ask the state legislature for more authority to take aggressive action. He has strengthened oversight — including launching investigations into these specific facilities, one of which was already closed,” the spokesperson said.

The spokesperson added that Walz has “hired an outside firm to audit payments to high-risk programs, shut down the Housing Stabilization Services program entirely, announced a new statewide program integrity director, and supported criminal prosecutions.”

Shirley later appeared on Fox News’ “The Big Weekend Show” on Sunday night, where he discussed his findings and the response to the video.

He described the alleged misconduct as readily apparent. He said the situation was “so obvious” that a “kindergartener could figure out there is fraud going on.”

“Fraud is fraud, and we work too hard simply just to be paying taxes and enabling fraud to be happening,” Shirley said during the appearance.

He added that the public reaction has already produced consequences.

“There better be change. People are demanding it. The investigation have been launched just from that video alone. So there better be change, like I said we work way too hard to be paying taxes and not knowing where our money’s going,” Shirley said.

Federal authorities have also signaled increased involvement. Federal Bureau of Investigation Director Kash Patel announced that the bureau had surged additional personnel to Minnesota to examine how public resources were distributed.

Patel said the move was part of a broader effort to “dismantle large-scale fraud schemes exploiting federal programs.”

According to federal investigators, as much as half of the approximately $18 billion granted to Minnesota since 2018 could have been lost to fraudulent activity, potentially totaling up to $9 billion.

Authorities say the alleged schemes span multiple programs and years.

As of Saturday evening, 86 individuals had been charged in connection with the fraud investigations, with 59 convictions reported so far.

Law enforcement officials have said that a majority of those charged come from Minnesota’s Somali community, though investigations remain ongoing and additional charges have not been ruled out.

The rapid spread of Shirley’s video has added momentum to the probes. By Sunday night, the video had surpassed 100 million views, according to publicly available metrics.

State and federal officials have said the heightened attention has increased public pressure for accountability and transparency in how taxpayer-funded programs are administered.

Walz’s office has maintained that the governor’s actions demonstrate a commitment to oversight and enforcement, while investigators continue to examine the scope of the alleged fraud.

Authorities have not announced a timeline for concluding the investigations, but officials have indicated that further developments are expected as reviews of records and facilities continue.

Scott Turner Drops a Truth Bomb on the Housing Affordability Crisis

Scott Turner Drops a Truth Bomb on the Housing Affordability Crisis

/

Scott Turner said weak immigration enforcement during the Biden-Harris administration played a central role in driving the nation’s housing crisis, arguing that the influx of illegal immigrants reduced housing supply and pushed costs higher for Americans.

He said restoring border security, enforcing fiscal discipline, and reducing regulatory burdens are key steps toward improving housing affordability.

“I’ll get to the root when you look at during the Biden administration and the weak immigration policies that impacted our country,” Turner said.

“Millions, 10s of millions, of illegal immigrants came across our borders unchecked, and that caused the housing supply to go down and the cost to go up.”

Turner said the combination of border enforcement and fiscal responsibility is beginning to reverse those trends.

“And so now you see, with secure borders, with our fiscal house getting in order, this is a step towards housing affordability, increasing housing affordability for the people in our country,” he said.

He said multiple policy options are being pursued to address affordability, including measures related to mortgages, interest rates, and regulatory relief.

Turner pointed to the Department of Housing and Urban Development’s recent efforts as evidence of progress.

“I know at HUD, this year alone, we have helped over 1,000,000 first time home buyers through our FHA and Ginnie Mae programs at HUD,” Turner said.

He described that effort as positive news and encouraged Americans considering purchasing their first home to explore those programs.

“That’s some good news that the American people can celebrate, and also to be encouraged to look at FHA and look at Ginnie Mae if you’re a first time home buyer,” he said.

Turner said reducing regulatory barriers is essential to increasing housing supply and lowering costs.

He emphasized the need to cut red tape at both the federal and local levels.

“Cutting red tape, taking down burdensome regulations, not only from a federal standpoint, but also from a local standpoint,” he said.

He also cited an early policy change at HUD aimed at restoring local control over housing decisions.

“One of the first acts we had at HUD was taking down the affirmatively further and fair housing rule to restore local control,” Turner said.

Turner said those actions are part of a broader strategy to increase supply and bring down costs.

“And so these ideas, these policy actions that have been taken will continue to happen to bring down affordability and to raise the supply,” he said, adding that “many other ideas will be given to the President.”

California’s ‘Toilet to Tap’ Water: Industrial Grift at Scale Exposed by Citizen Journalist

/

Adam Huntington criticized the progress, cost overruns, and management of San Diego’s Pure Water Project in two video statements, raising concerns about transparency, accountability, and whether the long-delayed project will meet its stated goals.

The project, which is intended to come online by 2026 and produce 30 million gallons of water, is now roughly $300 million over budget and years behind schedule, according to Huntington.

“You guys thought the Somalian grift was bad. This is a this is our pure water project in San Diego. It’s a multi billion dollar project, and this site has been under construction for almost a decade now,” Huntington said.

“It’s supposed to be online by 2026 pumping out 30 million gallons… But I don’t, I don’t see this thing being online by 2026 pumping 30 million gallons.”

Huntington questioned the technology being used and said the worksite appears understaffed, with minimal visible progress despite years of construction.

“This is the city of San Diego’s heralded project toilet to tap,” he said.

“So they take our our toilet water, and they filter it, which is this technology is like 30 years old, so it can’t even, it’s not even supposed to filter out all the hormones and things like that people put in their body nowadays.”

He also pointed to the removal of signage and restricted visibility at the site following reports he conducted with Luke Slywaker.

“They’ve taken down all the pure water project signage,” Huntington said.

“After Luke and I did a did a special report a few months ago, it looks like they built up this wall so we can’t see him inside anymore.”

Huntington said the site does not resemble a project nearing completion.

“There’s only about five people working here on any given day,” he said.

“This is a multi billion dollar project, and it’s just just a handful of guys moving the crane around.”

He described the delays and inefficiencies as evidence of broader infrastructure problems.

“If you thought the Somalian grift was bad, just wait until we pull back the layers on the infrastructure. Fraud. It’s happening everywhere,” Huntington said.

In a second video, Huntington focused on how equipment for the project is being stored, arguing that exposure to salt air and dust could render it unusable.

He noted that Friars Road has been closed since around 2019 as a staging area and remains cluttered with materials.

“All right, guys, here we are just just a couple blocks over from the pure water project site, and this is where they’re storing everything,” he said.

“A lot of this equipment is probably going to be rendered useless just because of all the salt air and rust that’s going on here.”

He questioned whether the project’s management is being held accountable and said the conditions raise serious concerns.

“This is wild,” Huntington said.

“This is about a two mile stretch of road that’s just absolutely cluttered with construction sh*t.”

Huntington accused those overseeing the project of mismanagement and fraud, naming what he described as a Jacobs family–managed project and calling for federal intervention.

“But I just please somebody tell me how this is not fraud,” he said. “Dude, send in the f**king feds. RAID City Hall. RAID all the NGOs in San Diego. Raid the Jacobs Family Services, the whole nine yards.”

He ended both statements by questioning whether the project will ever be completed as promised and whether public funds have been properly safeguarded.

“Pure water project San Diego, it is $300 million over budget and years behind schedule, and it doesn’t look like it’s coming on line anytime soon,” Huntington said.

Rep Anna Paulina Luna Lays Out What GOP Needs To Do Before Midterms in 2026

Rep Anna Paulina Luna Lays Out What GOP Needs To Do Before Midterms in 2026

/

As Republicans look ahead to the 2026 midterm elections, party leaders and allies are increasingly focused on translating President Trump’s policy agenda into lasting legislative wins while motivating voters to turn out at the polls.

That strategy was the focus of a recent exchange between Fox News contributor Joey Jones and Rep. Anna Paulina Luna, R-Fla., who discussed how policy achievements and voter engagement intersect as the next election cycle approaches.

Jones framed the discussion around the realities of congressional elections, noting that House members face constant campaigning due to two-year terms.

He argued that Republicans should lean heavily into what they view as tangible accomplishments under President Trump, particularly actions carried out through the executive branch.

“Congresswoman looking ahead to 2026 of course, we got the midterms coming up that obviously you’re you’re elected in for two years, you’re campaigning for half that time. That’s not your fault. That’s just how it works,” Jones said.

“But when we look at the intersection of policy and politics going into the midterms, most Americans sit at home and they go, Trump’s doing a good job.”

Jones pointed to specific actions Republicans have already taken, including major legislation passed by Congress and high-profile laws signed under the Trump administration.

He suggested these achievements should be emphasized more clearly to voters as Republicans make their case for re-election.

“And when you look at what he’s getting done, a lot of it he’s getting done through the executive branch,” Jones said.

“You’ve got the big, beautiful bill you guys have passed. You’ve got things like the Laken Riley Act. I think you should tout more, more heavily. But are there some agenda items that you all the Republicans in the House can really push and say, Hey, this is what we’re doing for Americans, and this is why we should be reelected.”

Luna agreed, saying voter turnout will be central to Republican success in 2026 and arguing that one way to energize the base is by locking in President Trump’s policies through legislation.

She said codifying executive orders would prevent future administrations from undoing actions Republicans see as beneficial to the country.

“Most certainly,” Luna said.

“I think, to your guys’ point earlier, you did a great job covering the fact that we need elected or we need voters to show up to the polls. I think that in part that happens, or that has to do with the fact that we need to codify President Trump’s executive orders.”

Luna noted that House Speaker Mike Johnson has already outlined plans to take up a large number of those orders once Congress returns.

“So I know speaker Johnson has announced that Upon returning, there’s going to be 81 of those executive orders that we’re going to be working on codifying and marking in stone so they can never reverse those,” she said.

Beyond codifying executive actions, Luna highlighted banning insider trading by members of Congress as a top issue she believes resonates with voters across the political spectrum.

She said she has secured a commitment from House leadership to advance legislation on the issue in the coming months.

“In addition to that, one of the top issues in this country right now, something that I addressed with you all last time I was on with you, is banning insider trading,” Luna said.

“And I have since gotten a commitment from Speaker Johnson that within the first quarter of next year we will actually be banning that.”

Luna also accused Democratic leadership of opposing those efforts, specifically naming House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries.

She said opposition to the insider trading ban has already drawn attention within Democratic ranks.

“That’s something that Hakeem Jeffries has been actively working against, so that actually came out in the press,” Luna said.

“Democrats called him out for actually trying to stop that bill.”

She concluded by stressing that Republicans see multiple avenues to motivate voters ahead of 2026, including legislative action, base engagement, and continued involvement from President Trump himself.

“And so I think that there’s a lot that we’re going to be able to do,” Luna said.

“But again, codifying, invigorating the base and making sure that President Trump is out on the campaign trail, which he’s promised to do.”

‘They’ve Gone Off the Deep End’: JD Vance Torches Far-Left Dems’ Immigration Stance

/

JD Vance addressed a deportation case that he said was misrepresented by Democrats and media outlets, which initially described the individual as an innocent father while omitting key details later confirmed by an immigration judge.

Vance said the case involved an individual deported to El Salvador who was determined in 2019 to be a member of the MS-13 gang and who had a record of traffic violations and missed court appearances.

“There’s been a few cases out there where the Democrats and the media say, oh, this person was just an innocent father of three, and then you find out, for example, I think this is the case that you’re talking about,” Vance said.

“Back in 2019 an immigration judge looked at all the evidence, looked at all the data, and concluded that this allegedly innocent person that we sent to El Salvador was actually a member of an MS 13 gang. He had also committed some traffic violations. He had not shown up for some court dates. This is not exactly Father of the Year here. This is a person that we don’t think should be in our country.”

Vance said the deportation itself was not disputed, even by critics, and that objections focused instead on the reasoning behind the decision.

He emphasized that the individual’s immigration status was not in question.

“Here’s the most important point, though, Lawrence is, whatever the argument is, whatever the justification is, no one doubts,” Vance said.

“Not even the crazy left wing media criticized the idea that we could deport this person, they just took issue with the reasoning for why we deported this person.”

Vance said the immigration judge’s findings established that the individual had no legal right to remain in the United States.

“This was unquestionably an illegal alien,” he said.

“This was unquestionably a person who broke the laws to get into our country. This is unquestionably a person an immigration judge had found had zero right to be in the United States of America.”

He criticized Democrats for opposing deportations while, in his view, placing the interests of illegal aliens ahead of American citizens.

Vance said deportation decisions are made to serve the country’s interests, not to satisfy political critics.

“We do not ask permission from far left Democrats before we deport illegal immigrants, we do the American people’s business,” Vance said.

“And again, for the American people who are watching this is such a weird, mistaken placement of priorities.”

Vance said the focus of national leadership should be on strengthening the country, improving economic conditions, and ensuring public safety.

He questioned why Democratic lawmakers express stronger reactions to the deportation of gang members than to crimes committed by those individuals.

“We need to make our country stronger. We need to create jobs. We need to make our streets safer,” he said.

“What is it about congressional Democrats that get more angry at deporting violent gang members than they do at the victims of those violent gang members. I don’t even understand where they’re coming from.”

Vance concluded by saying Democrats have lost touch with reality on immigration enforcement and public safety.

“They’ve gone off the deep end, and they got to come back to reality,” Vance said.

Puerto Rico Enacts Law Recognizing Unborn Children as ‘Natural Persons’ From Conception

Puerto Rico Enacts Law Recognizing Unborn Children as ‘Natural Persons’ From Conception

/

Puerto Rico Gov. Jenniffer González Colón has signed legislation formally recognizing unborn children as “natural persons” from the moment of conception, amending the territory’s Civil Code in a move that has drawn national attention from pro-life organizations, as reported by The Gateway Pundit.

The measure, known as Senate Bill 504, or PS 504, was signed into law in late December. The legislation updates Puerto Rico’s Civil Code to establish legal recognition of unborn children for civil purposes, including matters such as inheritance rights.

The law does not change existing abortion statutes in Puerto Rico and does not create new criminal penalties related to abortion.

According to the text of the legislation, the recognition of personhood applies specifically within the civil law framework.

Lawmakers supporting the bill said it was intended to clarify legal standing in civil matters rather than alter criminal law or medical regulations.

Pro-life organizations described the law as a significant step within U.S. jurisdictions. Carol Tobias, president of National Right to Life, commented publicly following the signing.

“National Right to Life celebrates this landmark achievement for the pro-life movement. Puerto Rico’s clear and courageous recognition of preborn babies as persons reflects a deep respect for life and provides a powerful example for lawmakers throughout the United States. Legal personhood for the preborn is not only consistent with science and human dignity but is the foundation upon which a culture of life can flourish,” Tobias told Life News.

Tobias also addressed the broader implications of the legislation, saying, “Puerto Rico’s action stands as a compelling reaffirmation that the protection of human life at all stages is a fundamental civil right. This measure underscores the essential truth that every human being—born and unborn—deserves equal protection under the law.”

The legislation aligns Puerto Rico’s Civil Code with language recognizing life as beginning at conception for specific legal purposes. Supporters argue the change reflects biological definitions of when human life begins, while critics have emphasized that the measure stops short of addressing abortion policy directly.

Life News characterized the legislation as one of the strongest affirmations of preborn personhood within U.S. jurisdictions.

“This historic legal recognition marks one of the strongest pro-life affirmations within U.S. jurisdictions. By explicitly acknowledging the inherent dignity and personhood of the preborn, Puerto Rico has taken a principled and scientifically grounded step to align its civil law with the biological reality that human life begins at fertilization,” the outlet reported.

While the law does not include provisions restricting abortion, some pro-life groups say it could serve as a foundation for future legislative efforts.

Advocates argue that codifying personhood language in civil law establishes a framework that could influence later debates on life-related policies.

Puerto Rico’s action comes amid continued national debate over abortion policy following recent changes to federal and state laws across the United States.

Several states have enacted measures expanding abortion access, while others have moved to strengthen restrictions or redefine legal protections for unborn children.

Officials in Puerto Rico have not announced additional legislation related to abortion following the signing of Senate Bill 504. For now, the law stands as a civil code amendment recognizing unborn children as legal persons for limited purposes under territorial law.

MTG: ‘Can We Just Do America?’ as Trump Meets Zelenskyy, Netanyahu

/

Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, R-Ga., publicly criticized Donald Trump on Sunday over his meetings with foreign leaders, urging the president to focus solely on domestic priorities as international conflicts continue to dominate the global stage, as reported by Fox News.

Greene’s comments came as President Trump held talks in Florida with Volodymyr Zelenskyy and prepared to meet with Benjamin Netanyahu, marking another chapter in a growing and very public rift between the Georgia congresswoman and the president.

WASHINGTON – February 22, 2025: President Donald Trump arrives at the White House South Lawn on Marine One after his visit to CPAC.

Trump met with Zelenskyy on Sunday at Mar-a-Lago to discuss a potential peace plan aimed at ending the Russia-Ukraine war, which began when Moscow launched its invasion of Ukraine in February 2022.

The meeting was part of Trump’s ongoing efforts to engage directly with world leaders since returning to the White House.

Netanyahu arrived in Florida on Sunday ahead of a scheduled meeting with Trump on Monday at Mar-a-Lago. The talks are expected to focus on Israel’s ongoing conflicts in the Middle East, including the war with Hamas.

The upcoming meeting will be the sixth between Trump and Netanyahu this year.

Reacting to the back-to-back meetings, Greene posted a message on X, expressing frustration with what she characterized as an international-first approach by the administration.

“Zelensky today. Netanyahu tomorrow,” Greene wrote. “Can we just do America?”

Greene has consistently opposed U.S. military and financial aid to foreign nations involved in overseas conflicts, arguing that American resources should be directed toward domestic needs.

She has been one of the most vocal critics in Congress of continued involvement in both the Russia-Ukraine war and the Israel-Hamas conflict.

In past statements, Greene has referred to Zelenskyy as “a dictator who canceled elections” and has described Israel’s military campaign in Gaza as a genocide and humanitarian crisis.

Those remarks have drawn attention and criticism across the political spectrum, including from within her own party.

The comments mark another escalation in Greene’s strained relationship with President Trump.

The two have experienced a public falling out over the past several months, particularly after Greene pushed for the release of documents related to investigations involving deceased sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.

Trump publicly opposed the effort and withdrew his endorsement of Greene.

During the dispute, Trump referred to Greene as a “traitor,” signaling a sharp break from their previously aligned political relationship.

WASHINGTON, DC – March 22, 2024: U.S. Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) speaks to reporters after voting against a government spending bill, and filing a motion to oust House Speaker Mike Johnson.

Greene is set to resign from the House of Representatives in January, a move that comes amid the ongoing conflict with the president and her outspoken positions on foreign policy.

Despite Greene’s criticism, Trump has remained deeply involved in international diplomacy, positioning himself as a central figure in negotiations tied to some of the world’s most high-profile conflicts.

Administration officials have said the meetings are intended to explore pathways toward de-escalation while protecting U.S. interests abroad.

Greene’s remarks highlight continuing divisions within Republican circles over the scope of U.S. involvement overseas, particularly as the administration balances foreign policy engagement with domestic priorities.

Gavin Newsom’s Multi-Billion Dollar High Speed Rail Scam Continues: Scott Adams

/

Scott Adams criticized California Gov. Gavin Newsom’s handling of the state’s high-speed rail project, focusing on billions of federal dollars that were allocated to the project despite no completed construction and unanswered questions about where the money went.

Adams questioned how Newsom could still be viewed as a presidential candidate in light of the project’s outcome and Newsom’s proposal to reduce the scope of the rail plan rather than cancel it.

“All right, listen to this one. So as you know, California got these billions of dollars that were supposed to be from the federal government that was supposed to be spent on the so called high speed rail project,” Adams said.

“As you know, none of that got built after many years. As you also know, nobody can account for where the money went. So the money just disappeared, I.E., got stolen billions and billions of dollars.”

Adams said that anyone in charge during that period would face obvious questions about accountability and competence.

“So if you were the governor, or you were in charge in any way during that time, how do you explain where all the money went, and then still become president, because it’s so obvious that there’s either massive incompetence, maybe, or just theft, or both,” he said.

Adams then described Newsom’s proposal to keep the project alive by reducing its size rather than canceling it outright.

“So here’s what Newsom has proposed, that instead of canceling the project because they don’t have any money, and they have no way to get that money back, and there’s it would cost five times more than they thought to build it,” Adams said.

“So there’s no real possibility of building the thing they have funded for just none.”

He said Newsom’s approach was intended to avoid returning the federal funds.

“But instead of canceling the project, he’s trying to extend it and make it a smaller project, something that you could imagine, and probably only in your imagination, they could actually build,” Adams said.

“And the reason that he would want to keep it alive is that if he builds nothing, and he says, I’m not going to build anything, he has to give back the money, or at least he has to give back what maybe was left.”

Adams said Newsom’s plan was designed to keep the funds from being returned.

“So in order to not have to give back any money, he’s going to pretend that there’s still a live project, and it’s just much smaller, Holy f**king sh*t,” Adams said.

“You know, it’s probably legal. You know, it’s more of a weasel legal thing to do.”

Adams questioned how such actions would not disqualify Newsom from national political ambitions.

“But how in the world can you do something like this and still become considered to be a presidential candidate?” Adams said.

He suggested the issue would not reach or influence voters who might support Newsom.

“The only way is if, is if people like me know about it, but I wasn’t going to vote for him,” Adams said.

“And the people who might like him and might vote for him will never hear this story. They will never hear this story.”

Adams said even if the issue were raised publicly, he doubted it would change Democratic voters’ views.

“And even if you brought it up and people heard it for the first time,” Adams said.

“Let’s say, let’s say his competition brought it up at a debate or something. It’s sort of technical, and, you know, I’m not sure it would make any difference to a Democrat.”

He said Newsom could dismiss the issue by framing it as a policy difference rather than wrongdoing.

“And if he has some excuse, like, I don’t know what they’re talking about, we just need a train between these two places, and we have the money. Why wouldn’t we build it?” Adams said.

“So the Democrats could easily be convinced that there’s no real problem here.”

Adams said Newsom could argue there was no criminal conduct involved.

“And he would say, am I indicted for anything? No, is it a crime? No, we’re just doing things differently than Republicans would do them. There’s no crime in that,” Adams said.

He concluded by expressing disbelief that the issue would receive little scrutiny.

“So he could probably, very easily dismiss it in a debate, the news will probably let him have a pass, and it’s just unfrecking believable,” Adams said.

“Wow.”

NewsNation Host Goes Off: Media Looked Away as Somali Fraud Exploded

/

Batya Ungar-Sargon delivered a forceful denunciation of Democratic leaders, the media, and immigrant fraud during a recent statement reacting to what she described as a major Somali fraud scheme involving taxpayer-funded fake businesses.

Ungar-Sargon said the alleged misuse of public funds represents a betrayal of American taxpayers and working-class families, and she argued that the anger surrounding the case reflects years of ignored warnings and suppressed dissent.

Ungar-Sargon said the allegations involve billions of taxpayer dollars being directed to businesses that were never properly verified, placing responsibility on Democratic officials for failing to conduct basic oversight.

She also criticized media outlets for declining to cover the issue and accused immigrant recipients of abusing American generosity.

“So I’m just going to be real with you, forgive me, but I just find this story so utterly infuriating,” Ungar-Sargon said.

“Think of all of the different ways that the American taxpayer was betrayed here by the Democrats who funneled billions of dollars to fake businesses and never once checked up to make sure they were legitimate, by the media that refused to cover it by the immigrants themselves, who were gifted by the generosity of the American people with the greatest privilege on Earth, American citizenship, and then turned around and stole from us as thanks.”

Ungar-Sargon described the alleged fraud as part of a broader pattern she says Democrats have carried out for decades.

According to her statement, she believes the Somali fraud case is not an isolated incident but a smaller example of a wider system that has harmed working-class Americans.

“It’s so disgusting, but I think this is also a microcosm of a much bigger scam that the Democrats have been running for decades now,” she said.

Ungar-Sargon argued that Democratic immigration policies have contributed to lower wages and higher living costs, particularly affecting Americans who rely on affordable housing, healthcare, and education.

“To where they welcomed in millions and millions of immigrants, both legal and illegal, who drove down the wages in America, especially for working class Americans, and drove up the cost of things like housing and health care and education, the hallmarks of The American Dream, making that totally out of reach for working class Americans,” she said.

Ungar-Sargon also criticized what she described as a pattern of silencing Americans who objected to these policies.

She said working-class Americans who raised concerns were attacked and dismissed by political and media elites rather than engaged on the substance of their arguments.

“And then if those working class Americans had the temerity to object to their own disinheritance, rich Democrats would go on cable news and call them racists,” she said.

She further claimed that the language used by progressive activists and media figures was developed to divert attention from the economic harm she says immigration policies caused to American workers.

Ungar-Sargon said that this rhetorical framework served to shield Democratic leaders from accountability while discouraging public debate.

“It’s so disgusting,” Ungar-Sargon said.

“The whole woke vocabulary was developed as a smoke screen for the mass fleecing of the American working class.”

Ungar-Sargon linked this argument directly back to the outrage she said Americans are expressing over the Somali fraud allegations.

According to her statement, she believes public anger has been building for years as Americans noticed patterns of exploitation but were dismissed or ignored when they spoke out.

“And I think that is just a mirror image for what we’re seeing with this Somali fraud, and why people are so enraged about it, because they’ve been noticing this for so long, and they were silenced if they called it out,” she said.

“And no more. I think that’s what we’re seeing right now in this moment.”
