Guest Host Garret Lewis exposes the "Somali-run day care fraud" in Minnesota, where Nick Shirley revealed empty centers like the Quality Learning Center (formerly Salama Child Care) collecting millions despite FBI raids. Lewis alleges Commissioner Tiki Brown and Governor Tim Walz protect these fronts for money laundering while signing non-citizen driver's licenses to facilitate voting fraud. Expanding to Ohio's $14 million scam and Washington's ghost facilities, he argues Democrats cover up corruption to maintain power, linking local deceit to broader socialist overreach and celebrity hypocrisy. Ultimately, the segment frames these scandals as evidence of systemic government failure and the erosion of individual accountability. [Automatically generated summary]
Hi, my name is Garrett Lewis and I am sitting in for Glenn Beck.
Thank you for hanging out with me.
Happy New Year.
I almost didn't come in today because I was going to open up a Somalian daycare and just get rich.
The details are incredible.
This is fraud like we could never imagine.
You have to hear the latest, and I have it for you coming up.
Once again, Happy New Year.
My name is Garrett Lewis.
I do the afternoon show on KFYI in Phoenix and KNST in Tucson.
And we're in 2026 and it should be a big, gigantic year.
And maybe one of the big things that's going to happen this year is going to be that, you know, just maybe, just maybe we won't ever have to pay taxes ever again once we uncover all this fraud and the billions, hundreds of billions of dollars that is paid out is just incredible stuff.
So I was talking to you, if you didn't know, right before Christmas for a couple of days last Monday and Tuesday.
And the big news was, oh, there's 30,000 or who knows whatever, Epstein files that came out.
And that was big for about 38 seconds until this young guy with an iPhone and a way to connect to people named Nick Shirley.
It's a whole new world now.
This is phenomenal, right?
He goes to, I was going to say Somalia, but it's Minneapolis or Minnesota, different places.
I mean, it's not just Minneapolis or St. Paul's, all kinds of places, right?
And he goes out there because all of a sudden there's all these so-called daycares.
If you didn't know, there's all these daycares, so-called daycares.
And he knocks on the doors of them.
They're not answering.
They're not opening.
They are, they don't even have kids.
Yet they are getting millions and millions of dollars of our money, right?
It's state money, state taxes from the Minnesota.
Minnesota gets it from the feds, which they take from you and me.
And it's remarkable.
And I mean, how is it possible that is it just Somalia?
Because now we're getting that you have all these all these fraudulent daycares and senior centers.
And you name it.
It's in not just Minnesota, but it's in Ohio, the state of Washington.
I guarantee this is probably in every state.
And this is a sign of the government getting too big.
Anyway, if you missed it, I can't believe you would have, but just in case you did, this Nick Shirley guy who's on X and he's now, he's added hundreds of thousands of followers.
He did what the media refused to do because they're just corrupt and it's a whole new world.
He goes and knocks on the doors of, what, about 10, I think 10 daycare centers, and he doesn't see any kids.
He doesn't see any kids.
And he's like, what's going on here?
What's happening?
And he puts it on X and it spreads like wildfire.
And Elon Musk also says, what is going on here?
And it's like a money laundering process.
This is how big the government is.
It's a mess, whether it's the federal or the state.
There is so much money they confiscate from us that Trump is right.
We should never pay taxes again.
The government should be run on money collected by tariffs.
And if we have to pay a tiny bit more for stuff, that's fine, but we should never pay taxes ever again to the federal government at the very least, because they waste so much money, so much money.
And this has gotten so crazy.
And maybe you, you know, you're like, I'm back at work January 2nd.
Suckers like you and me are working, right?
Maybe you're not waiting on Monday.
Maybe you tuned out and you're just like, I got to just take a mental break.
Whatever it is, this story has captivated the entire country.
And to do it during the holidays shows you how big it is.
Okay.
These so-called daycares, they fill out paperwork with the state.
They get approved and they qualify for a gazillion dollars because in Minnesota, they say, we're going to tear your heartstrings.
And it's not just Minnesota, though.
People can't afford health care.
We're going to have programs where people can, you know, have it subsidized.
If you're against us, you hate families and kids and blah, blah, blah.
So nobody says no.
And they get this cash.
They get this cash and they don't use it for what they're supposed to use it for, which is daycare.
They just keep the money.
And this goes back to what was going on just a few weeks ago that was uncovered in Minneapolis, in Minnesota, this feeding our children scam where you have the Somali congresswoman, Ilhan Omar, writing a bill in 2020, basically ignoring government oversight.
We need to feed the kids during the China virus scam.
We need to feed the kids.
And she writes a bill to make it easier for funding to get to organizations that claim to feed kids.
And it turns out a lot of it was fraudulent.
There were tens of millions of dollars that were supposed to go to feed kids instead that went to these Somali immigrant people's pockets where they bought lake homes and vacations and cars and they had cash.
And magically, you have Ilhan who goes from like 65 grand in debt to being worth $30 million despite making $174,000 a year.
How is that possible?
We're seeing all this happen in real time.
And we've had enough.
We've had enough.
And the federal government took notice of this.
Our government was designed to not work quickly so things don't get totally screwed up.
But Trump works quickly.
And within like a day or two of all of these videos coming out and being seen by everybody in the media, you had the major left news, the AP, NPR, PBS, New York Times, Washington Post refusing to even cover this story.
But within a couple of days, Minnesota got hit hard by the Trump administration.
The Trump administration said, you know what?
We are cutting off your federal funding.
We're cutting it off.
You claim to use this to then give it to, we give it to you, Minnesota.
You give it to these so-called daycares.
Minnesota is now down about 200 million bucks.
And now Homeland Security launched a massive operation where they're going door to door to try to figure out what is going on here.
They're going door to door to find out if these businesses are legit.
And they're finding out that a lot of them are not legit.
And I don't want just deportations of people for lying.
I want jail time.
People need to go down.
And what's crazy is that, are you telling me that Somalia owns the state of Minnesota?
This is craziness.
But this is what happens.
I remember I know some lawmakers and they're good people.
The ones that I know are good people.
And they've told me, I've had them tell me that they actually talk to other lawmakers.
And it doesn't matter if they're Republican or Democrat.
But they talk to these other lawmakers and say, what are you doing?
Like, what's going on?
How could you vote for this bill and do this and do this and do this?
And they tell me the lawmakers they ask that have been in D.C. for longer than them say, listen, you don't understand how this game works.
Like they all just want to get rich and it's on both sides of the aisle.
More for the Democrats, but it is on both sides of the aisle.
And that's why, if you really, really were trying to figure it out, why do they try to execute Trump?
Why do they try to assassinate him?
Because there's so much money on the line.
So much money on the line.
Homeland Security has launched a massive operation.
They started doing this Tuesday.
This is from Fox News.
Federal authorities are launching a massive operation in Minnesota on Tuesday to identify, arrest, and remove criminals who are defrauding the American people.
The Department of Homeland Security put on X, our investigative agents are conducting a massive operation to identify, arrest, and remove criminals who are defrauding the American people.
We'll root out this rampant fraud plaguing Minnesota, they wrote.
And again, it came after they announced they launched an operation to investigate fraud in the city of Minneapolis after that video came out by Nick Shirley.
The FBI director, Kash Patel, noted New York Islanders fan like me, he put on X that he knows about these videos by Nick Shirley.
He said the FBI already surged investigative resources and personnel in Minnesota to try to figure this out what's going on.
And a large group of the targets are the Somali immigrants.
Kash Patel wrote, the FBI believes this is just the tip of a very large iceberg.
And this is what happens when government gets so big.
It gets out of control.
It gets out of control.
There's so much money involved and nobody knows where it's going.
How do you think the Bidens did what they did?
Again, all these people go into Congress, go into government, and they are not rich and they make $174,000 a year and they are worth tens of millions of dollars.
We all know what happens here.
And a lot of them turn a blind eye because they're like, I'm just going to get mine while I'm here.
I'm just going to get mine.
And as Americans, we've had enough because this is a whole new world.
We used to have to rely on getting information out.
We used to have to rely on three networks and a couple of major newspapers and radio stations and some radio stations.
Those days are over.
This is why the Biden regime was so aggressive in censoring people during the China virus scam because they know how dangerous it is.
Look, I'm a huge Seinfeld fan.
And you remember the episode in Seinfeld when Newman was talking about when you control the mail, you control information.
It's about controlling information.
That's what it's about.
And the feds, they tried to control the internet.
They want to control the information.
They could control the media, the left media.
They couldn't control talk radio.
Couldn't do that, baby.
But now it's so much more because you don't even need it.
You don't need CNN.
You don't need the New York Times.
Nick Shirley has an iPhone, records some stuff, posts it on X and YouTube.
And really, X is where it took off.
I mean, he's got a few million views of this on YouTube.
I don't trust Google at all.
They own YouTube and they would just, you know, try to pump the brakes on this.
But he posts it on X and it's got hundreds of millions of views in just a couple of days.
Hundreds of millions.
It's more than the Super Bowl.
And that's why this is a whole new world.
And I think the left is realizing.
And even the Rhino establishment, right, they're realizing, all right, the genie's out of the bottle.
Like, we had a good run.
We had a good run.
Now we can't just retire based on opening a Somali daycare somewhere and just cashing in, just getting taxpayers' money.
And we should get our money back.
I want restitution, by the way.
When this starts, when we see this happen in every state in the country, I want my money back.
Don't you want your money back?
I want my money back.
So these daycares got exposed for having no kids there.
And then all of a sudden, kids randomly started showing up the day after these Nick Shirley videos got out.
People just started showing up, dropping off kids where they hadn't done it before.
And it's so lame and it's so stupid.
This lady, a Somali mom, this is on my Instagram.
You can follow me on Instagram at Garrett Lewis, two R's and one T.
And honestly, I put this, this was like an eight-second video, and it's got over three and a half million views on my Instagram alone because people have had it.
A local TV station in Minneapolis went up to this lady who supposedly dropped off her kids after Nick Shirley exposed the daycares for having no kids and like no employees there.
And this is what she said.
I took my kids here, 2 o'clock to 10.
Yeah, there's a lot of kids inside.
I took my kids here from 2 o'clock to 10, 2 p.m. to 10 p.m.
You're not dropping them off at 2 a.m.
What is this, a Somali daycare nightclub?
They expect us to believe this crap.
This is remarkable.
They are sweating so badly.
They are what appears to be lying about being robbed of Somali daycare after these videos came out claims they got robbed.
What was stolen?
Wait till you hear about it.
I have it for you coming up.
Garrett Lewis in for Glenn Beck.
Garrett Lewis sitting in for Glenn Beck again.
I do the afternoon show on KFYI in Phoenix, KNST, and Tucson.
If you want to listen to it from wherever you are in the universe, just download the iHeartRadio app and search for either KFYI or KNST.
I'm on from 4-7 in Arizona.
And you could always listen on demand on the iHeartRadio app as well.
It's a great app.
Just search Garrett Lewis and you can listen on demand to entire shows and to segments and all that good stuff.
Daycare Burglary and Federal Audit00:03:20
That's what you can do.
It's that simple.
It's that easy.
Thank you so much for hanging out.
By the way, I am on Instagram at Garrett Lewis and X or Twitter, whatever you want to call it.
I am there at Garrett Lewis as well, 2Rs1T, because again, my parents tried to make it difficult.
They tried to make it difficult.
So now all of a sudden you have these daycares.
This is where I have to make it funny.
Otherwise, I'd start drinking this early.
Okay.
The daycares that are run by these Somalis all over St. Paul and Minneapolis, they're all getting caught and they all know it.
Right?
And so now the feds are showing up and they're like, hey, we want to see documentation.
Like, show us the proof, please.
Show us the proof that you actually are in the business of daycare.
Can you do that, please?
It would be fantastic.
So right after that happened, there's a daycare called Nokomis, Nakomas, N-A-K-O-M-I-S, Nokomis Daycare Center.
And the manager of the daycare center, who apparently is in $2,400 eyeglasses, a little bougie, right?
His name is Nasrullah Muhammad.
Yes, a Somali immigrant.
Nasrullah Muhammad apparently has a press conference to try to drive the narrative to get out in front of it and say, you know what's crazy?
We were broken into.
We had people break into our daycare.
Now, if you're a burglar and you try to break into a business, a home, what are you trying to steal?
What are you trying?
Are you trying to steal money?
It used to be TVs, but TVs are pretty cheap nowadays.
But you get it, right?
Money, anything valuable.
You want to steal that stuff.
Well, this manager of a so-called daycare center in Minnesota, the Nokomis Daycare Center, says we were broken into.
Unfortunately, we saw that there was important documentation, enrollment of the children, and also employee documentation that was gone.
What?
There were also checkbooks that were ripped from our checkpapers that were ripped from our book.
This is devastating news.
We don't know why this is targeting our Somali community as one video made by a specific individual made this all happen.
Yeah, they're at Nick Shirley's fault.
42-minute video where one of the daycare centers, it was the learning daycare center, they spelled it incorrectly.
I think it was L-E-R-N-I-N-G or L-E-A-R-I-N-G, Leary.
Anyway, they, who, I tell you what, I tell you what, this is incredible stuff right here, okay?
You have, you have such a demand for child daycare enrollment records and employee records.
Can you imagine these burglars broke in there just to go get them?
George Clooney on Socialism00:15:06
They think we're this stupid.
A burglar broke in just to get those documents.
Oh, and checkbooks.
Oh, really?
The black market has such demand to make sure you can get them what they need.
The information on children enrolled in a daycare.
That's, you really think we're this stupid?
Oh, dog ate my homework.
I can't show you this.
We had a guy break in.
Oh, okay.
There's so much more.
We'll get to all of it.
I have to do something else first.
So this is good stuff.
I love it when Trump-hating celebrities leave the country.
I have an update, the latest one.
Garrett Lewis in for Glenn Peck.
This is Glenn Beck.
The American Story, The Days of Ash, and dozens more groundbreaking series all in one place.
A new world of learning opens January 5th at Glennbeck.com.
My name is Garrett Lewis.
I do the afternoon show on KFYI in Phoenix, KNST in Tucson, basically owning Arizona.
So glad to sit in for Glenn Beck.
Happy New Year.
I have so much more that is going to blow your mind about the Minneapolis and St. Paul, like the whole Minnesota-Somali daycare scandal.
It is crazy.
And you know what's bad when even the legacy media, at least one of them, legacy media, is actually calling out how big of a scandal this is.
I have it for you.
Well, it started at the top of the hour.
So stick with me.
But I do love great stories, right?
And this is a feel-good story of 2026.
George Clooney and his wife and two kids, they've made it official.
They're not coming back to America.
Congratulations.
Happy Hanukkah.
Merry Christmas.
Is that a great present to you or what?
Yeah, this is awesome.
So George Clooney and his wife, who is not a fan of the Jews, and I am one, I'm Jewish, who is not a fan of the Jews, they are living in France.
It's so much better there.
They have a lot of problems.
Again, liberalism, you got some screws loose.
Have you seen what's going on in France?
Have you seen the crime?
Have you seen that they've just let anybody and their mother in?
Have you seen how the radical jihadists are just all over there?
It's crazy.
And this genius is like, you know what, we're going to do?
We're going to ditch America.
It's just not good under Trump.
It's just not safe under Trump.
By the way, we have like the biggest murder rate drop since they started keeping stats.
But okay, see you later.
Like I'm glad.
I was actually a little bit upset that Ellen decided to come back.
Ellen left because Trump's a fascist and a dictator.
And then all of a sudden she sold her properties in the UK and she's like, it's a little too cold.
We're going to come back.
Why would you come back?
Trump's a fascist.
And if he was such a fascist, he'd say, you're not coming back.
Or as soon as you get here, I'm going to throw you in jail.
So, I mean, they're just idiots.
They're just fools.
So George Clooney, and this is what really pisses me off, though.
George Clooney got French citizenship.
Yet this clown was trying to impact and influence the elections here in America.
If you hate America so much, stay the hell out.
Like, what are you doing?
He was the one that really called a lot of attention to Joe Biden.
We all knew Joe Biden was brain dead, but he was the first lib to really go, oh, man, we're in big trouble.
Well, why did you care so much?
If you're just leaving, or if Trump lost, you'd have been here.
Anyway, so this is just typical liberal stuff, though.
Apparently, there's reports out that George Clooney and his family were given French citizenship, but they got it so fast, they're being called out for the double standard.
This is only available to the global elites, a French government minister said.
You got to love this, right?
This is like limousine liberals.
It's like George Clooney complaining about the environment and getting on yachts and taking private planes and all this other stuff.
So he got his French citizenship very quickly, more quickly than the average person.
Didn't stop George.
I mean, he used his connections.
Who cares about the little people?
Who cares about average people, right?
Or the non-famous, the non-rich, the non-powerful.
They're such hypocrites, such hypocrites.
He and his wife and two kids were granted French citizenship last week.
So they're there.
And this is what's funny.
He doesn't meet any of the actual standards.
Apparently, he got it December 27th.
And wouldn't you know it, yesterday in France, they changed the language requirements.
They toughened them up.
So he got in just before that.
And he admitted, I've had about 400 days of French lessons and I don't speak very well.
Now, the new rules in France that started yesterday, all applicants will need a certificate showing they have a level of French that could get them into a French university.
And George Clooney is nowhere near that.
Nowhere near that.
They also have to pass a civic knowledge test.
I guess they didn't have to do that either.
He said to a radio station, quote, I love the French culture, your language, even if I'm still bad at it after 400 days of courses.
His wife is fluent in French, but he's apparently really bad.
Really bad.
So George Clooney was called out.
A junior interior minister in France, Marie-Pierre Verdin, said, quote, personally, I understand the feeling of some French people of a double standard, of a double standard.
So you're rich, you're famous, you can get in.
You can get in.
This is just like Bernie Sanders owning a whole bunch of homes, right?
Bernie Sanders owning, what, three or four homes, but caring about climate change and all this other crap and everything.
Okay, sure, sure, sure, sure.
But at the same time, I'm glad.
Like, get out of here and stop trying to influence our elections.
Matter of fact, it'd be cool if the government could actually go after him.
If he's, he's got, he's, he's obviously a dual citizen.
I never understood the whole dual citizenship thing, by the way.
I just, I'll never understand it.
You shouldn't have dual citizenship.
You either are American or you're not.
You're French or you're not.
Like, you can't be from more than one country because then that's when things get a little bit crazy, right?
That's when all of a sudden you start, well, showing favoritism for one to the other.
He should not be allowed to influence our elections at all.
And it would be great to me if all of a sudden the government could go after him if he tries to do this stuff again.
Just stay out.
That's what should happen.
Just stay out.
Or he should have just moved to New York City.
Why wouldn't he just move?
That's where you have a full-blown communist.
A full-blown communist is now officially the mayor of New York City.
And there's, look, there's a video out of Zorhan Mamdani where he kind of goes, hey, they waves, they go, oh, it's a Nazi salute.
Now, here's the double standard, right?
The media went after Elon Musk.
Nobody did a Nazi salute.
Do I think that Zorhan Mamdani did a Nazi salute?
No.
Do I think he hates Jews?
Yes.
I just don't want to get caught up in that stuff.
He put up his hand to say, hey, what's going on?
I don't think he ever thought about a Nazi salute.
And again, I do think he sympathizes with them, but I don't think that actually happened.
So, okay.
So Zorhan Mamdani, like New York City is in big trouble.
And I hope it lasts the next four years.
I think I predict he's going to fail at pretty much everything that he does because it's just not going to work.
But he is not shy about saying what he wants to do, though.
This is what's hilarious.
This is just one little clip.
I don't want to play a lot because I just don't care.
A New York City voted for this.
You're going to experience it.
Listen to what Mamdoni said yesterday at his inauguration.
We will replace the frigidity of rugged individualism with the warmth of collectivism.
There you go.
The warmth, the warmth of collectivism that has killed hundreds of millions of people by starving them to death.
The warmth of that collectivism.
You want to get rid of rugged individualism?
Can you say you hate America?
Like, we were built on rugged individualism.
That's what we're about.
We love being tough like this.
And this guy gets up there.
We're going to replace rugged individualism.
We don't want you to try.
I'm going to do everything I can to take other people's money to give you what you need.
That's what we are going to do.
That's what it is.
He actually said that.
Now, that should be something that George Clooney agrees with.
And he should be willing to hand over his money, shouldn't he?
He should.
Apparently, the people are getting a bit of a taste in New York City of pretty much exactly what they're going to get from Zorhan Mamdani.
Okay.
There was a story in the New York Post that about 4,000 people, 4,000 really dumb people showed up to celebrate this commie.
Maybe they're commies too.
They're not that smart.
Anyway, show up to his inauguration situation and they had a block party.
And apparently a bunch of his supporters are very upset that there was no food and there were no bathrooms.
Why are you upset?
That's what happens when you have socialism.
You think you're going to get food?
Come on.
There's no food.
There's no bathroom.
No bathroom.
Oh, the government promised you things and they couldn't deliver.
To me, this is one of the reasons I think that they're going to have some pain in New York City, but they're going to turn on this guy.
Listen, I grew up on Long Island.
The city's different than Long Island, but you still have the same kind of attitude that even the people that fell for this guy's garbage, right?
He's a latest version of Obama, right?
A slick talker.
I can read dramatically.
I'm going to say things you want to hear.
And then he has no actual answers as how he's going to deliver on things.
So they're going to turn on him in a hot second.
And he's getting crazier and crazier.
But before I get to that, in the New York Post, they interviewed some people.
Brooklyn resident Shane Turner, 30.
30.
What was it like at Zoron's inauguration party?
Quote, it's not exactly what I was expecting.
I was expecting food and music.
Were you?
You were expecting free food and a party and good time.
Wow.
A 25-year-old woman from Queens said, I could have watched this from home.
Really?
They are just getting started on learning what socialism really is and really does.
And when a guy promises you everything, you will not be able to come through with any of it.
Not one bit of it.
It's not what I was expecting.
No bathrooms.
Something else, too, to show you how bad this Mamdani guy is and how he is such a liar.
It's what really kind of bothered me about his meeting with Trump.
I'm like, all right, Trump, you should have taken this guy head on.
Guess what is happening now?
What Mamdani has scrubbed from his past?
I have that for you coming up.
Oh, get ready.
Get ready, America.
People are going to see this and they're going to run from socialism.
I hope I'm an optimistic guy.
Garrett Lewis sitting in for Glenn Beck.
Teach your kids right.
Shoot.
You know schools won't do it for you.
This is Glenn Beck.
My name is Garrett Lewis.
I am sitting in for Glenn Beck.
So honored to do that.
I host the afternoon show on KFYI in Phoenix, KNST in Tucson.
Thank you for hanging out with me.
You can follow me on X and Instagram at Garrett Lewis, 2Rs and 1T, L-E-W-I-S.
Thank you very much.
So, and look, this really bothers me because, well, I think I'm a good person for the most part.
Plus, on top of that, I'm Jewish when I see what's going on out in New York City.
And when people do things, take it for what it is, okay?
Take it for what it is.
This Mamdani guy, he took over the official at New York City mayor on X, that handle at NYC Mayor.
And according to the New York Post, they did a story on this.
A Jewish civil rights group is now wanting answers, wanting answers from Mamdoni because the first thing that the Mamdani administration did when they took over at like 12.01 a.m. was they started scrubbing tweets about combating anti-Semitism from the official New York City mayor's account.
They just start deleting them.
What they're doing to combat anti-Semitism.
Again, I saw this coming.
I don't understand how Jews can vote for this or even Christians or anybody else, to be honest with you.
It just doesn't make sense to me.
But that's why I think our brains are all wired differently, obviously, but it just doesn't make sense.
Look, the Jews in New York City are going to be under attack.
This is awful.
And it's all happening under this Mamdoni guy.
Biggest Fraud in America00:04:09
This is what he's doing.
Right away, one of the very first things that he did was deleting tweets, the official at New York City mayor Twitter account or X account.
They deleted tweets about protecting Jewish New Yorkers.
That was just on Twitter.
Then he issued two executive orders, two executive orders that revoke New York City's policies that support Israel and define anti-Semitism.
He just, nope, we're not going to do that stuff.
He revoked some policies that support Israel.
One of the revoked executive orders that Eric Adams signed last month, it barred New York City officials from boycotting or divesting from Israel.
He got rid of that.
Nope, we can do it.
This is what is going to happen in New York City.
Again, don't just say it's an accident.
Don't just ignore it.
When people do things, you have to take it at face value.
And this is exactly what he is doing.
So here we go.
He repealed an executive order that adopted the International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance definition of anti-Semitism.
Eric Adams, the outgoing mayor, he put it in there.
And Mamdoni's like, nope, nope, we're not doing it.
So it's open season on my fellow Jews.
This is awful in New York City.
It is open season on them.
So, again, I'm hoping that people wake up.
I don't see this lasting very long.
You have a lot of salacious newspapers in New York City.
They want headlines.
They'll go after him.
I hope they'll go after him.
New York Post already is.
I don't think it's going to work out too well for Zoron.
The latest on these Somali daycares, more information, it's going to blow your mind what we are finding.
This could lead to the biggest fraud in America, and it shows how we need to shrink government big time.
We should never have to pay.
Most of us should never have to pay taxes again.
I have it for you coming up.
Garrett, in for Glenn.
This is Glenn Beck.
This is the Glenn Beck Program.
My name is Garrett Lewis.
I am in for Glenn Beck.
Happy New Year.
And maybe this year we will finally uncover even more fraud and hopefully never have to pay taxes ever again.
The details about what is happening in Minnesota and now in other states, these fraudulent daycares getting our money, it's going to blow your mind to have it for you coming up.
Aaron Lewis in for Glenn Beck.
Happy New Year.
I do the afternoon show on KFYI and Phoenix, KNST, and Tucson.
So glad that you are here with me.
This whole Somalia daycare fraud scheme is so much bigger than just daycares and the ripping off of our money.
And I have the details coming up, but I think this is the tip of the iceberg.
The Bigger Somalia Fraud Scheme00:07:52
Look, it's never been more apparent that Democrats have literally no policies to help you or me.
And they just don't care.
Have you ever sat back and wondered why Democrats do the crazy things they do?
Like, why do they want men in women's locker rooms and competing with women's sports?
And like this crazy stuff.
Now, they have a crazy little base.
Don't get me wrong on that.
That could be a bit, I mean, they're insane.
They're insane.
And I guess they're kind of afraid of them.
But have you ever heard somebody say this Democrat policy, some will really like abortion, but have you ever heard of somebody say this policy really is going to help me?
That's why I'm voting for Democrats.
When was the last time a Democrat came out with some kind of a policy that really is going to help you?
Now, you might say, well, I'm talking to the wrong audience.
I get it.
But they don't do anything to really help people.
And that's why there are, and there should be more, but that's why there are a lot of black people, a lot of Hispanics that are finally voting for Republicans.
And Republicans haven't always been the best either.
Listen, I'm in Arizona, right?
We had to deal with the John McCain stuff, right?
And all that garbage and the Doug Doocy stuff and all that garbage.
They are as rhino an establishment as you can get.
But Democrats have realized, this is elected officials, they don't have to give out policies that make you want to vote for them, right?
They rigged the game.
They rigged the game, mail-in ballots, all this stuff.
They rigged the game.
It doesn't matter.
They wanted to get out the vote.
That's what matters.
They had a better system.
They don't care about policies.
And it's all about money and power, money and power.
And I think that they, look, all these NGOs, the non-governmental organizations, all these other facilities that get subsidized by taxpayers in the name of niceness.
This is how they get rich.
This is how they get power.
This is the bigger scheme of things.
And we're seeing, again, just some of it with these daycares.
What other businesses are getting taxpayer money?
Where is it going?
The government has gotten so big, federal government, state government, that we don't even know where the hell the money is going.
So this is something that Americans are finally realizing.
And again, we're sharing information.
Normally, this information would never be shared because the Dems controlled the media.
They controlled the TV stations, the newspapers.
That's why the Rhinos, look, John McCain wanted this too.
The rhinos and the Dems wanted to control the internet.
They want to limit the amount of information we see.
They want to turn us into communist China.
But because they don't yet, and thank God, Elon Musk, whatever you think about Elon Musk, buying X is a big deal.
Talk radio.
We are it.
X is a big deal.
We share information.
We're not censored.
And if this information wasn't shared, it would go away.
There was so much of the legacy left media that was not even reporting.
And maybe you've missed this.
Nick Shirley, young guy, early 20s, decides to take his iPhone and go knock on the doors, goes on Google or DuckDuckGo, does some research about daycares in Minnesota, sees that they are getting major, major funding.
Somali immigrants own them, run them.
They're getting major funding.
He knocks on the doors, can't find any kids anywhere.
And he's like, where's all this money going?
Like, what is happening?
Where is it all going?
Okay.
And for that, for discovering that and putting it out there, now the federal government has cut off a couple of hundred million dollars.
Health and Human Services says, Minnesota, you're not getting any more money.
We need to see everything.
Homeland Security Department sends out investigators going door to door to find out what's going on with the fraud.
They want to start arresting people, start investigating, start deporting, you name it.
Like, we need to see people locked up for this.
That's what I want to see people locked up because there's a lot of money.
Elon Omar goes from being about 50 grand in the hole approximately to being worth $30 million in five years, five, six years, making $174,000 a year.
How do you think that happens?
People have figured out how to work this system.
That's why we don't want money going to Ukraine anymore.
Where is it going?
Who's getting the kickback for this?
Who's getting 10% for that?
Right.
Burisma with the Bidens and Hunter.
We see this.
We're over it.
All of a sudden, Somalis, they're getting funding and we knew it.
They didn't even try to hide it.
They didn't even try to hide it.
Anyway, Nick Shirley, if you missed it, goes and knocks on the doors of 10 different daycares, and they don't have kids.
They don't have kids.
And he just puts the videos out.
It's a 42-minute video, 42-minute video.
He is told by these Somali immigrants to get out.
They curse Adam.
They say, go to a white business.
These are all fronts.
It looks like to me, they're all fronts.
And Nick Shirley does this.
If there was nothing to see here, if Nick Shirley is completely wrong, if there is no fraud going on, and again, now we have Homeland Security investigating, we need arrests, right?
I'm sick and tired of there's there's no, there's no major perp walks.
I want Fauci, I want all these guys that have done all these bad things.
I want justice.
That's what I want.
But Nick Shirley is now for doing, for just showing this.
If he was wrong, if what he did was a big lie and he's wrong in his reporting, it can be cleared up very easily.
But instead of being cleared up, he is now being threatened with death.
This is why Trump, Trump they tried to kill Trump twice because he is exposing the game.
He is exposing the system of how they get rich.
It's people in DC and their donors and their friends.
We should never pay taxes, ever again.
The amount of money and I have all this stuff the amount of money that we spend on fraud every year will blow your mind in comparison to how much the government collects in taxes from us.
But Nick Shirley was on the PBD podcast and said that he is now facing major death threats.
Yeah, like they're saying oh, like Kirked, you're gonna be Kirked, you're gonna be Curked.
Hang on, how about that?
You're gonna be Kirked.
Charlie Kirk was assassinated absolutely awful, obviously.
And now the left is so flippin deranged.
They are so evil and so bad that now they are looking at this kid, this young man who did incredible work with an IPhone, and another guy and some other people helping film.
He did more than what cable news networks would ever do.
They wouldn't even bother doing this and now he's being threatened with assassination.
That's what they're saying.
Yeah, like you're the next Sponsor, you'll be the next Kirk, and it's just like, are you kidding me?
Because it's not even like I hate what's happening right now, like I feel bad for my family honestly.
Because it's like yeah, like we didn't do anything wrong and yet you guys are coming after me, like I'm some sort of villain.
And all he did was expose the fraud and he's threatened with assassination.
This is the left.
Like you can't take them lightly.
They're showing you what they want to do.
I mean, for God's sakes, they elected an attorney general in Virginia who was texting about fantasizing having a Republican speaker of the house assassinated and his two kids dying in the arms of their mother, and Democrats elected him.
Oh, we're good.
Fraud Exposed, Assassination Threatened00:02:53
What?
Uh, they've dehumanized us.
That's part of it.
But now they want to.
They want to assassinate Nick Shirley for simply exposing this.
He is not wrong again, it's.
It's crazy the amount of fraud that is coming out.
I mean, we're seeing billions of dollars, billions of dollars.
One of the daycares is called the Quality Learing L-E-A-R-I-N-G.
They forgot the end.
It's supposed to be the Quality Learning Center, Quality Learing Center.
And then they had the sign fix.
They blame the owners.
I blame it on the graphic designer.
They didn't care.
NEW YORK POST did a story on this Quality Learning Center.
It's one of the 10 daycare centers that Nick Shirley visited.
So NEW YORK Times goes out I'm sorry, NEW YORK POST goes out there, and the NEW YORK POST reporters, by the way, are getting yelled at and cursed at by the Somali immigrants in the neighborhood and that apparently own this.
What looks to be fraudulent daycare the Quality Learning Center Right after Nick Shirley exposed them for having no kids there, the next day, all of a sudden, kids are being dropped off.
Kids are being dropped off all of a sudden the next day.
But the New York Post talked to a person that lived right by there.
And the resident said, We've never seen kids go in there until today.
The parking lot is empty all the time.
And I was under the impression that place is permanently closed.
I mean, they are going to extreme lengths to try to cover up this scandal.
New York Post was outside.
They said Monday, because this all came out at the end of last week.
And for this, by the way, to continue to be such a big story at Christmas time, I mean, it was Christmas week last week when this came out.
And it was so big that people that normally wouldn't pay attention to what's going on in the world for a week paid attention.
New York Post reports Monday's busy parking lot and the roughly 20 kids streaming in and out of, as the New York Post staked out the site, were in stark contrast to the neighbor's description and what Nick Shirley's video showed.
Nick Shirley said, You do realize there's supposed to be 99 children here in this building and there's no one here.
That was when he visited.
The owner told the New York Post that Nick Shirley came before they opened for the day.
Minnesota Daycare Fraud Exposed00:02:43
Oh, okay.
I don't know about you, but I had two kids in daycare.
They were open at 6 a.m.
6 a.m. to 6 p.m.
6 a.m. to 6 p.m.
It was that simple.
And you had to get them.
What do you mean?
He didn't get there before 6 a.m.
So they're lying.
And you sit back and say, they're threatening this guy's life.
They're lying about it.
And this is just exposing again how big this fraud is.
And you think really it's only there?
No, they're showing now there's a senior living centers that are that are in this same mess.
They're in Minnesota.
This same mess is going on with daycares in Ohio, in the state of Washington.
We are just scratching the surface.
We are just scratching the surface.
But there's something wrong with these psychos in Minnesota.
Again, the Somalis, the movie with Tom Hanks, you know, I own this ship, whatever.
I never really saw it.
I only saw that clip.
They own the state.
It seems like they own the state.
Like politicians kowtow to them.
The lieutenant governor is a white woman named Peggy Flanagan.
Like she looks like the stereotypical Minnesotan that's getting excited for the gophers to play on a Friday night and a Saturday.
She appears in a video.
She appears in a video wearing a hijab, wearing a hijab with Somalians.
After this scandal comes out, she's lieutenant governor.
Listen to this.
Salaam Alaikum.
My name is Peggy Flanagan.
I am the lieutenant governor of Minnesota, and I'm really honored and humbled to be here with all of you today.
I am incredibly clear that the Somali community is part of the fabric of the state of Minnesota.
Unbelievable.
My friendship with NIMCO.
We've been friends for almost 20 years.
A Somali woman sitting next to her.
And when I think of being part of Minnesota and growing up here, the Somali community has always been a part of my Minnesota.
So I want to just encourage the community to know that we're with you.
We've got your back.
Are you just all getting rich?
So now the Democrats, they are standing up for what looks like to be a bunch of fraudsters.
They're standing up for narco-terrorists.
They're standing up for men playing in women's sports, these big pervs, these crazies, men in women's bathrooms.
That's your Democrat Party.
That's why they can't win on policy.
Rigging Systems and Daycare Lies00:06:50
They have to figure out how to rig systems.
And I have it all for you.
Now state officials are getting caught in lies about these daycares.
And why do they bring in all these Somalis?
It's about votes.
It's about rigging the system.
I have it all for you coming up.
Garrett Lewis in for Glenn Beck.
Garrett Lewis with you in for Glenn Beck.
I do the afternoon show on KFYI in Phoenix, KNST, and Tucson.
You can follow me on X and Instagram at Garrett Lewis, where I, again, there's a video I have up there of the local media found a Somali mom who claimed that she went to these, she sends her kids at random times to the Somali-run daycares.
So I'll get into all that stuff, but you can see it on my Instagram.
It got so popular.
I mean, it got three and a half plus million views, which is, which is insane.
But this is what we're dealing with.
3.2 million views.
Excuse me.
Follow me on Instagram at Garrett Lewis.
So there is a woman because I'm out of the 10 places that Nick Shirley visited.
Let's focus on this one, this quality learing center, supposed to be learning.
They forgot the N.
And again, there was nobody there.
And now locals tell the New York Post after people started showing up after Nick Shirley exposed them, they go, we've never seen anybody get dropped off there.
We thought this place was closed.
Well, there is a state official named Tiki Brown, Minnesota Department of Children Commissioner.
Tiki Brown, she tried to bail out the quality learning center and she got caught up in a lie.
So Nick Shirley goes there.
There's supposed to be 99.
They register with the state.
We take 99 kids.
There's no kids there.
The next day after the video comes out, about 20 people drop off kids.
But the Minnesota Department of Children Commissioner Tiki Brown, she said this about the quality learning center.
Each of the facilities mentioned in the video has been visited at least once in the last six months as part of our typical licensing process.
And in fact, our staff are out in the community today to visit each of these sites again so that we can look into the concerns that were raised in the video.
Oh, okay.
Here we go.
So I won't go into any detail about whether or not any of these have any open investigations.
I will share that our team was notified that Quality Learning Center closed just over a week ago.
What?
And I believe the details that were given at that time were around space concerns.
And that's what was shared.
So the Minnesota Department of Children Commissioner Tiki Brown gets caught in a lie.
Oh, the reason that there were no kids there is that it was shut down a week ago.
But then after Nick Shirley exposes it, the day after, you get 20 kids getting dropped off there.
Is it closed or is it open, right?
Please, Tiki Brown, this Minnesota Department of Children Commissioner, this state official, she needs to get her story straight along with the rest of the daycares and Democrats before she starts trying to cover up this, what looks like, to me at least, a big crime.
You can't have it both ways.
And then on top of that, oh my gosh, this quality learning center, it's a new name for it.
Back in 2015, it was called the Salama Child Care Center.
And it was raided by the FBI.
What?
Oh, yeah.
So this new place that didn't have any kids and then magically had them, but then the state said it was shut down, but it wasn't.
So they're lying and they're covering it up.
It was called the Salama Child Care Center and was raided by the FBI back in 2015.
Do you know why it was raided by the FBI?
I'm going to tell you coming up.
Stick with me.
Garrett Lewis skinned for Glenn Beck.
This is Glenn Beck.
New website, a new app, a new way to understand the world we're living in.
Launching January 5th at Glennbeck.com.
Garrett Lewis sitting in for Glenn Beck.
Thank you for hanging out with me.
Happy New Year.
Have you got a Merry Christmas?
A Happy Hanukkah, all that great stuff.
Again, you're going to start to see, by the way, commercials.
You're going to start to see them all over the place.
Hear him on radio, see him on TV about how you can also start your own daycare and become a multi-millionaire very, very quickly.
What a scheme.
We're going to start to see date lines about this stuff.
Anyway, I almost didn't come back to radio because I'm like, I told my wife, we could start a, let's just start a daycare.
We'll give it a Somali name.
We'll do it in Arizona, but say we identify as Minnesotans.
Nobody will bother us.
It'll be okay.
It'll be all right.
So the Quality Learning Center, this, this, again, Nick Shirley, incredible young guy just goes and asks questions.
Ask questions.
It's why the whole journalism thing so overrated.
You're curious?
Ask questions.
You have a phone.
You can record it.
You can upload it.
And it goes everywhere.
And we play, we talk about it on talk radio.
This is what we do.
So this quality learning center was one of the 10 daycares that Nick Shirley visited.
There were no kids when he was there.
He said he had documentation.
I watched the 42-minute video Nick Shirley put out.
He had documentation said, you guys are registered to have 99 kids.
Where are the kids?
Where are the kids?
Locals that were there told the New York Post, nobody ever goes in there.
We thought they were closed down.
The day after Nick Shirley, the video came out, all of a sudden, there's 20 kids getting dropped off there.
I just played for you the Minnesota Department.
What is this lady?
I got to get her title exactly correct.
The Minnesota Department of Children Commissioner, Tiki Brown, made a video, posted it saying that the reason that there were no kids at this quality learning center, that was spelled incorrectly, it was learning, nobody was there because they were closed, but the owner said they hadn't closed in over eight years.
They were not closed at any point over the past eight years.
That's what the manager said.
The Shirley Daycare Scandal00:09:05
So the state officials are trying to cover for the fraudulent daycare.
And then we find out, and I saw the Department of Justice document going back to 2015.
And ABC 7 in Minnesota reported this, that the Quality Learning Center used to be called the Salama Child Care Center.
And the FBI rated it back in 2015.
Why?
For allegedly defrauding a state program.
ABC 7 reported the FBI rated the facility to revoke the child care license of the owner due to alleged safety violations.
So what happened?
The owner just changed the name from Salama Child Care Center to Quality Learning Center and still collected a boatload of taxpayer money.
This is some, I mean, big time fraud going on.
And the reaction from Democrats is Republicans are racist.
Tim Waltz called Nick Shirley a white supremacist.
I don't listen.
I think we're past this point and now we're in 2026.
On my show, I say the R word.
They call it the R word now.
I don't know if Glenn uses it or not, so I'm not going to say it, just in case.
But people are driving by Tim Walz's home and screaming out the R word at him, which I think is funny.
And it's not downplaying anybody that happens to be that or have kids or family members that are that way.
No, Tim Waltz is just awful.
And the fact that President Trump said, yeah, I think he is.
He does a lot of things that don't make sense.
Look, for people to be upset at that, they call you and me fascist, Nazi, and I'm Jewish.
And you're worried about the R word?
Like, give me a break.
Give me a break.
Can we say this stuff now?
Tim Walsh knew this was happening.
He knew it was happening.
If you go back to the debate that Tim Walz had with now Vice President JD Vance, Tim Waltz actually admitted they make it easy for daycares to just open.
Listen.
As far as childcare on this, you have to take it at both the supply and the demand side.
You can't expect the most important people in our lives to take either our children or our parents to get paid the least amount of money.
And we have to make it easier for folks to be able to get into that business and then to make sure that folks are able to pay for that.
We were able to do it in Minnesota, and I'm still telling you this.
We were listed as the best state.
We listed as the best state to do it.
No kidding.
No kidding.
Here's from January 20th of 2017.
Here is a document from the Justice Department.
Twin Cities child care provider charged with stealing hundreds of thousands from low-income assistance program.
You don't say.
Fozia Sheikh Ali, 50, fraudulently obtaining at least hundreds of thousands of dollars for a child for child care services that had not been provided.
Kind of like those, so now we have ghost daycares to go along with the ghost meals for the feeding the children.
That whole scam that, again, Ilhan Omar wrote the bill in Congress to help make that happen.
According to the indictment and the documents filed in the state court, Ali operated the Salama Child Care Center in Minneapolis.
Between at least December of 2013 and May of 2015, he defrauded the child care assistance program to obtain payments from the Minnesota Department of Human Services for child care services that were not actually provided.
This is what it is.
Again, the government is so big, money just flows, and nobody knows what actually happens to it.
And we all know.
And now we've had enough.
And Trump's had enough.
According to the indictment, again, this is the same Quality Learning Center.
They just rebranded their name after they got raided by the feds and then they got just a slap on the wrist.
The claims asserted, oh, it says here.
Ali submitted claims for payments that overstated the number of children who actually attended and received daycare services from Salama Child Care Center.
The claims asserted that more than 100 children attended and received child care at Salama on a given day.
On more than one occasion, the claims falsely inflated the number of children that had attended on a given day by more than 400%, including on days when Salama was closed.
The indictment shows Ali stole hundreds of thousands of dollars from the state of Minnesota and the federal government.
So you have it from there.
You have the feeding scandal, right?
You have that too.
This is happening all over.
Are they taking that money and kicking it back to the Democrats?
Is that why the Democrats are just all defending this?
It's remarkable.
I mean, normal people would say, wow, this doesn't look good.
We're going to investigate it.
And instead, Tim Waltz calls Nick Shirley a white supremacist.
We've had enough of this stuff.
The genie's out of the bottle.
We see exactly what is happening here.
You want to know how bad it is too, by the way?
And I'll get into it.
We should never pay taxes ever again in just a second.
CNN.
Instead of saying, oh my gosh, we just got destroyed.
We didn't look into this.
All the resources that we have at CNN, we got destroyed by a 20-something-year-old young guy with an iPhone and a Twitter account.
He went up and asked questions.
He actually went to the places, 10 different daycares, couldn't find a kid, recorded it all, put it for everybody to see, 42-minute video.
Instead of actually saying, we need to get on this, like this could be a big story.
It could be huge.
If CNN actually broke news like this, they'd actually get ratings and revenue, but they're not made for this.
They were only made to be a narrative push for the Democrat Party.
That's why CNN exists.
That's why MSNBC exists.
It's now called MS Now.
The ratings still suck because it's the same garbage content.
Nobody watches it.
I mean, you had hundreds of millions of views on X by from Nick Shirley from his video.
You'd think if they really cared about driving revenue and ratings, that whether it's CNN or CBS or MSNBC or NBC or ABC, they'd actually do a story like this and go, man, we should do that so we can get eyeballs and generate money as well.
But they don't care.
They're in it for ideological purposes and that's it.
CNN, I mean, I really don't watch it.
I suffer sometimes just for the show.
Whitney Wilde apparently is a reporter.
What a name, right?
Whitney Wilde at CNN.
She actually, instead of trying to do her own investigation, she challenged Nick Shirley.
Listen to this.
I mean, they would say, look, these fraud cases have been going on.
But they've already done like 80 indictments.
The cases have been going on for years.
And why did I show up one day in Minnesota and go to all these daycares?
No children.
They're receiving millions of dollars.
We uncovered nearly $100 million, $110 million in fraud in one day.
How do you know that all the allegations that you're making are true?
How do I know that they're true?
Well, we showed you guys what was happening, and then you guys can go ahead and make your own analysis.
We're coming.
So we can make our own analysis.
Are you 100% sure you're true?
Yeah, I am 100% sure I'm true.
Wait, we can make our own analysis?
Wait, wait, wait.
You want us to do reporting on this?
Wait, wait, wait.
you can make how do you know you're true This is a CNN reporter?
Did she really, did you really?
Yeah, I am 100% sure.
Did she really say that?
Hang on.
So we can make our own analysis.
Are you 100% sure you're true?
Are you 100% sure you're true?
What?
This is CNN.
This is CNN.
And so Whitney Wilde, the next clip in the video, she does, she does her own version of journalism, CNN journalism.
She picks up the phone and calls a place.
CNN is looking into Shirley's claims.
Hi, my name's Whitney Wilde.
I'm a correspondent for CNN.
We reached out to several of the daycares featured in the now viral video.
Only one daycare facility answered and said they are a legitimate business.
Well, there you go.
Case closed.
I mean, they said they're legitimate.
You pass the coffee shop.
They say the world's best coffee.
I believe it.
Only one answered, and they said they're legit.
Nick Shirley's a liar.
This is CNN.
Oh my gosh.
Tax Fraud Claims Explode00:15:23

Thank you for hanging out with me.
Happy New Year.
I remember when President Trump, some people think President Trump's crazy.
Look, he's a little different.
I love the guy.
He's a little different.
I think he's doing it for the right reason.
That's why they tried to kill him a couple of times, which is just crazy.
He's ending the business model of people in D.C. getting rich and controlling all of our money that we work so hard for.
And every two weeks they confiscated from us in our paychecks.
I remember he said, you know what?
I'd like to get rid of the income tax.
I'm like, God, this guy's awesome.
That was just for this past term.
And he's like, you know, all we need are tariffs.
And of course, the media, he's crazy.
Everything's going to get expensive.
And it freaked out.
It totally freaked out the establishment, the establishment Republicans and all of the Democrats because they're like, oh my gosh, if we don't have the income tax, how are we going to launder money to people?
How are we going to get rich, right?
How is that going to, how is Elon Omar going to go from being 50 grand in the hole about to about 30 million in the plus?
So I saw this tweet.
It's from a guy named Peter St. Ong, a PhD, economics.
He's a former professor, all this stuff.
Anyway, he put out something that I thought was interesting.
If you cut the $1.5 trillion in fraud, you could exempt all income tax up to $200,000.
And I'm like, wait, what?
And then I happen to see another guy on X who retweeted that with his own stuff, Arthur McWaters.
He was with Princeton.
He was with McKinsey, a firm.
He actually put up a graphic about fraud and how much the American government collects, the federal government collects from us, in income tax.
And he writes, this is shocking.
The U.S. collects $2.4 trillion in income tax, but spends $1.5 trillion on fraud.
Think about that.
And it's fraud in everything, whether it's social security, whether it's SNAP benefits, Medicaid, Medicare, daycares, Somali daycares, for God's sakes.
It's everywhere.
Our federal government takes from us $2.4 trillion in income tax, but spends $1.5 trillion on fraud.
So he wrote, if we didn't have to pay for fraud, only $900 billion would need to be collected.
That means anyone with less than $500,000 in income could pay literally $0 in income tax.
We don't need to raise taxes.
We need to cut fraud.
And he pointed out he had the graphic.
He has the information, the income brackets and based on the federal income tax revenues and how much people make and how much they pay and everything else.
It truly is remarkable.
It's insane.
We could be paying like almost nothing.
That's why Trump said it.
Let's get rid of this.
Let's have tariffs cover all the costs.
I would love it.
Let's get rid of the fraud.
But then that stops members of Congress and others from making up companies and getting rich.
I have so much more.
They knew about this for a long time.
I have more.
Garrett Lewis, stick with me because when you hear how this impacts voting and rigging elections, it's going to blow your mind more.
Garrett in for Glenn.
Glenn Beck.
This is the Glenn Beck Program.
Garrett Lewis sitting in for Glenn Beck.
Thank you for hanging out with me.
Happy New Year.
More mind-blowing stuff.
Is it this whole Somali daycare?
And it's not just Somalis.
Not just daycare.
It's happening all over the country now, these scams.
It's our money.
Is it all about the money or is it also about voting?
Oh, yeah.
Yeah, it is.
I have it for you coming up.
Don't go anywhere.
Garrett Lewis with you.
Sitting in for Glenn Beck, happy new year.
I will also be on this afternoon, KFYI, KNST in Phoenix and in Tucson.
You can listen on the free iHeart radio app.
Might be a lot of the same stuff on the show today, too.
So glad that you are here with me.
This Somali daycare thing.
You know, it's really big again when it's the holidays and it's Christmas week and it's New Year's and people are cleaning the garage and they're doing stuff and they're returning gifts and whatever else, they're sleeping.
But when people are paying attention to such a crazy, such an incredible story, I should say, like these, like this Nick Shirley guy who goes to 10 daycares and doesn't find one kid and exposes over $100 million in fraud, just him with his iPhone and a couple of couple of, I guess, just people, coworkers, friends.
I don't know.
He posts it and it changes everything.
And now everybody is looking into this and they're finding all kinds of insanity.
And to me, it's also related to voting.
If you follow me on Instagram, though, at Garrett Lewis, 2Rs1T, I just put up a video on my story on Instagram about how now it's Washington State.
What's the definition of a journalist, right?
It's apparently, I don't think you could call anybody that works for a TV or newspaper a journalist anymore because they don't do jack squad.
And I'll get to the voting thing in just a second.
Right Angl News had this story.
Journalists in Washington state, they went to an address that was listed as a Somali daycare.
Again, in the state of Washington, it's getting hundreds of thousands of dollars in taxpayer money, your money and my money.
They go to the address of this so-called Somali daycare.
It's a private home.
It's a gigantic private home.
There's no sign that says it's a daycare.
There's no way it would be allowed to be a daycare.
It's in a neighborhood.
It's not zoned for that.
And they get hundreds of thousands of dollars, if not more, if not more, from us.
And that's the state of Washington.
You can see it.
It's on my Instagram.
It's on my story at Garrett Lewis.
Watch it when I'm done.
When I'm done.
When I'm done.
Okay.
So I mentioned earlier that Democrats never have policies that make people want to vote for them.
They just give people things, some people things, right?
Look what happened in the past couple of years.
They said, black people, you can't do anything for us anymore.
We need more votes, not just yours.
So you're done.
And I remember there were major stories in different states where Democrats said, we are now closing down certain community centers that were used in neighborhoods with black people.
They were used there.
They said, no, you're done.
We're going to use it.
This is for illegals now.
Or they called them migrants.
And it pissed off the black community like it should.
Democrats, the elected officials, they are like the ultimate leeches, right?
They just need, they need more.
They suck you dry and they got to go to something else try to keep them in power.
And they're trying this with anybody that they bring here.
Now, it's not just Minnesota.
It's not just daycares.
It's healthcare companies.
It's all kinds of stuff.
But it's also about voting.
It's also about voting.
There's some crazy stuff that's going on.
The guy that is the best in the country when it comes to registering voters, Scott Pressler, went on Fox News and talked about how in 2008, are you ready for this?
In 2008, in Minnesota, they registered, supposedly, we're told this, right?
500,000 people on Election Day.
What?
Did you know that in 2008, 500,000 voters or nearly 19% of all voters in Minnesota registered on Election Day?
And did you know that former Senator Al Franken was elected by 312 votes?
So I'm not alleging anything on the program, but what I am saying is that this vouching system, which clearly opens the door for potential fraud, could swing statewide elections.
Apparently, one person in Minnesota can vouch for the legitimacy and I guess the legality for eight migrants to register to vote, which how is this even legal?
500,000 voters or almost 19% of all voters in Minnesota registered on Election Day.
So look, I don't think everybody should be allowed to vote because I'm sick of dumb people screwing up my life.
If you can't register before Election Day, you're an idiot and you shouldn't vote.
That's what it comes down to.
That's my view.
I remember when I was only on in Tucson, going back to around 2012 time, I was contacted by a local advertising agency and they said, listen, we're putting together some public service announcements to be on radio and television.
We'd like you to be part of it.
I said, well, what is it?
They said, well, you'd be with a bunch of other people encouraging people to register to vote.
Can we send you a script?
And I said, no.
And the guy's like, what do you mean, no?
What do you mean, no?
And I said, no, I don't want a script.
I don't want to do this.
He said, well, why would you not want to do this?
I said, if I have to tell people that they should register to vote so they can vote, then I don't think they should vote.
If they have no idea what to do, then I'm sick of dumb people electing Obama and other idiots that screw up my life.
I don't want to remind them.
They should not be told.
They should know on their own when they should vote.
And I don't think we should have anything to tell them.
If they can't think of it themselves, forget that.
And there was like silence.
And he's like, I never thought of it that way.
I kind of agree with you.
I mean, no kidding.
I'm against it.
If you have to be told what to do, big problem, right?
If I have to keep telling my 13-year-old to make his bed every morning, there's a problem.
So there's a lot of craziness going on.
It's not just Minnesota, but just so you know, Tim Walz was very happy.
He signed a bill that grants everyone to get a driver's license, even illegals.
It's done.
A packed room at the St. Paul Armory erupted after the governor's signature made driver's license for all the law of the land.
Driver's license is for all.
So they could take that driver's license and they could go register to vote and vote in the state of Minnesota.
And you think it's only Minnesota?
But let's just focus on Minnesota for now.
Okay?
No, no, Garrett, that's not true.
That's not true.
Okay, I want you to hear this.
This is part of a hearing in the Minnesota legislature.
And you have a couple of different Republicans.
And they bring this up.
They bring this up.
This, you're going to hear a woman named Patty Anderson.
She's a Minnesota lawmaker, and she's talking to a guy who basically is in charge of voting for the state of Minnesota.
Listen to this.
And then you're going to hear another member of the legislature.
Listen.
We give driver's licenses to anyone.
Sure.
You don't have to be a citizen.
You don't have to, which is a photo ID.
So if someone comes in and they register, they have the driver's license, but they have an incorrect social or no social or whatever.
So then they become incomplete.
But if they walk in to vote with their driver's license, does that make them all of a sudden now okay?
Mr. Linnell.
Madam Chair, so the designation on the roster for someone whose registration had been incomplete, if they present the election judge with that acceptable identification document, that would clear the challenge from the roster and they would be permitted to cast a ballot.
So just to clarify, someone who is not a citizen but presents a driver.
Hang on.
You heard that, right?
Fraudulent Driver's Licenses for All00:08:46
Yeah.
As long as they show the driver's license, the judge says you can vote, even if they're not a legal citizen.
They have driver's licenses for everyone.
Anybody can get one.
You could be here legally or illegally.
You can get a driver's license.
Great.
If you're here illegally tuned, you can't even speak English.
Oh, it's going to work out well.
But you can get that.
Then you walk in.
You walk in with a driver's license.
Like, oh, you have a driver's license.
Oh, you can register to vote.
What?
Judge with that acceptable identification document that would clear the challenge from the roster and they would be permitted to cast a ballot.
There it is.
So just to clarify, someone who is not a citizen but presents a driver's license at that point in the process could be permitted to vote.
Madam Chair, at the time of registration, as well as at the time of submitting a ballot, every voter is signing the attestation affirming their eligibility to vote, including that they meet all eligibility requirements, that they are a U.S. citizen.
Yeah.
I mean, as long as they actually, you know, sign that they're a citizen.
And nobody, by the way, ever checks on that.
We go through that here in Arizona.
We have two different ballots that you can actually use to vote, a federal only and a complete ballot.
And you need to show ID for the complete one, but for the federal only.
So you could vote for president, you could vote for Congress, you could vote for Senate, blah, blah, blah.
All you have to do is check.
There's a box at the top and it says you can legally vote and you check it.
You don't have to show ID or anything.
You just get that ballot and you just check it.
And nobody ever actually checks to see if you're truthful or not.
But as long as you check it, just like in Minnesota, as long as you check it, you're good to go.
So Minnesota is getting busted for allowing illegals to vote.
So the Somalis or anybody, really, but let's just say the Somalis, and they could be here on visas.
They could be here.
Whatever.
Just follow me.
They, and illegals are allowed to register to vote.
And they could keep voting for Democrats.
And in return, the Democrats turn a blind eye to the system being scammed.
Or maybe Democrats even show them.
I'm not, why not, right?
Would the Democrats be the ones that actually show them and approve of these fraudulent daycares and health care centers and everything else?
You keep voting for us, you'll keep getting money.
We just take it from everybody else, right?
We're getting ripped off.
I live in Arizona.
My federal tax dollars, I pay too much money to the federal government.
And apparently the federal government gives it to the states like Minnesota and they give it to these Somalis.
You keep voting for us and keeping us in power.
You can keep scamming the system and we will not do anything to try to stop it.
Tim Walsh was on record saying that they knew about this going back to 2022.
They've known about this going back forever.
I told you last hour about a 2015 FBI raid.
And then I'll take you back to about 2018, I believe, 2018, 2019.
A former congressman named Jason Lewis, he was a talk show host too.
He's a congressman at this time.
This is going back about eight years now.
Talks about how the Somalis are setting up fake child care centers eight years ago.
He is in Congress health and human services departments.
Situation in my home state of Minnesota where we've got a number of daycare providers that are openly violating federal and state laws and regulations, taking money for personal use, using the money to set up a fraudulent child care client and then providing a kickback has been reported.
This is a major issue.
There are allegations that, well, not just several.
You've got 23 child care or daycare centers either closed or under investigation.
The fraud may go as high as $100 million.
Eight years ago.
Think about that.
In fiscal year 2018, Minnesota received $120 million in federal funding.
The state contributed about $50 million in matching and maintenance funds.
And we may have a fraud case of nearly $100 million in this state with money then being transferred out of the country via MSP airport.
They put the money in suitcases and take it to the airport and fly it out.
Does it go to the terror group, Al-Shabaz?
This is so insane.
Again, I'm sick of it.
I don't want just investigations.
I don't want to hear just these glorious things.
We're investigating.
We're on this.
We're never going to give up.
I want arrests.
I want deportations.
I want denaturalizing these people.
If they are here, if they got citizenship, they should not be here.
This is garbage.
This is absolute garbage.
And in the midst of all this, by the way, I never reminded, if you would have told me years ago or even a month ago, you know what, you're going to do nothing, Garrett, but talk about Minnesota when you're sitting in for Glenbeck.
No way.
But again, this is more than just Minnesota.
Again, I have on my story on my Instagram that they have the state of Washington.
They're doing the same fraud there.
But coming back really quick, in the midst of all this, Tim Walz and Minnesota, they have a new program they just started that is going to be scammed.
And it's going to cost taxpayers.
I'll tell you, it's crazy.
I have for you coming up, Garrett in for Glenn Beck.
Garrett Lewis with you, sitting in for Glenn Beck again.
I'm here in Arizona.
I do the afternoon show on KFYI in Phoenix, KNST, and Tucson.
So glad that you are hanging out with me.
So there is a new program just because the daycares aren't enough.
And I have the healthcare ones.
Like, this is some incredible stuff.
And again, you know, this is not just Minnesota.
This is going to be, I would say, in every single state.
Why would it not be, right?
Why would it not be?
Matter of fact, President Trump said in Mar-a-Lago, it's actually worse in Illinois.
It's actually worse in New York.
It's actually worse in California.
That's what President Trump said.
So there is a new program that just started yesterday in the state of Minnesota where Minnesotans can get 20 weeks of paid leave.
It's a state-funded program.
They take money from the taxpayers, from the taxpayers, and they can pay people.
They can pay them to, well, just leave work.
I have an illness, I have a sickness, I have to take care of a family member.
Whatever it might be, you're in Minnesota, you get up to 20 weeks of paid time off.
You get up to $1,423 a week.
And now there are whistleblowers saying this is going to get scammed too because, I mean, are the Somalis going to scam this one also and more illegals or legals, whatever?
Yeah, of course they are.
They're going to make up work that they do to get paid $1,423 a week for 20 weeks.
They made up daycares, for God's sakes.
That's what they did.
They made it up.
This is what they voted for in Minnesota, huh?
A Minnesota state lawmaker pointed out to Fox News, his name is Nolan West, how this can be just exploited.
One thing that people don't know, you can designate one person annually as the person you care for.
So I can designate my uncle living in Florida, go on vacation, and it's up to your employer to investigate whether you're really caring for that person or not.
Like that's just, there's no guardrails.
It's going to be ridden with fraud, just like we see in our other systems.
The honor system is not the best way to distribute all this money.
So there you go.
It's up to the employer.
Like your employer wants to investigate.
This is what they're doing.
This is what they have.
This is insane.
This is insane.
And again, it's not just daycares.
Minnesota Home Health Care Scam00:10:03
There's another reporter, not just Nick Shirley.
You got to hear this to believe it too.
Again, it just isn't stopping.
Apparently, home health care is a big deal, and you could get a lot of taxpayer dollars to start your own home healthcare business.
This reporter went to go find where these home health care businesses were in different cities in Minnesota.
Wait till you hear what he found when he went to the addresses.
Craziness.
Follow me on X and Instagram at Garrett Lewis.
Facebook, it's Garrett LewisRadio, and I have that for you coming up.
Garrett in for Glenn.
This is Glenn Beck.
Real history, real context.
Delivered like never before.
January 5th, Glennbeck.com.
Garrett Lewis in for Glenn Beck.
Thank you for hanging out with me.
Again, I do the afternoon show in Phoenix and in Tucson on KFYI and Phoenix KNST at Tucson.
So glad you are hanging out with me.
Again, follow me on X and Instagram at Garrett Lewis.
And I put up good stuff.
I just put up some more stuff.
And look, this is just remarkable because there's so much.
And I almost hate to say it's entertaining.
Look, I'm a radio host, right?
We got to be entertaining.
We have, no matter what, we have to be entertaining.
But there is so much to this fraud.
And it starts with the Somalis in Minnesota, but it's so much more than that.
And you know it and I know it.
And we've always known it, right?
Going back to when illegals were crossing and Joe Biden was there.
He had no idea what he was doing and Camela was the borders are.
And you'd hear about these NGOs, non-governmental organizations that were getting millions of dollars to help care for illegals.
And I'm like, what are they doing?
What is going on?
And it's the same thing.
And Elon Musk brought this to light about the homeless people.
Democrats never want to solve the homeless problem that we have, people on the streets and the medians.
They never want to do it.
All they want is organizations to get funding to try to help it.
And the more homeless that you have, the more money they can ask for and they hope to get.
And if you don't want to, it means you hate homeless people and everything else.
These are all business models, right?
The autism scandal in the Somali community in Minnesota.
Oh, so many kids are now autistic and we're going to get federal funding to help treat them.
What a scam that is.
Just like the daycare.
It's all part of this giant scam.
They figure out ways where they can come up with things they claim to help and nobody follows the money.
And if you try to follow the money, it kind of goes to a dead end.
And the media is not interested because they want to cover for it.
So it takes talk radio and it takes more importantly, even and give them more credit, obviously, Nick Shirley and other people that are now driving up to these addresses.
You can literally find addresses online through all the states where they have these so-called daycares and home health care centers.
And you could look at what they look like on Google, get Google Maps, and just do Google View, and you could see exactly what they are.
And you go, there's no signs, there's no this.
This is where it happens.
And you go to the websites, and there's phone numbers that don't work, and the websites are littered with misspellings.
They're fronts.
They just collect the money.
And it's happening all over.
I just retweeted on my ex at Garrett Lewis.
Please follow me there on X or Twitter, whatever you want to call it, at Garrett Lewis, 2Rs1T.
A libs of TikTok where they actually sat down and looked at certain websites about home health care centers.
And I'll get to that.
It's remarkable.
News Nation, they have a reporter named Rich McHugh.
He went to three different cities in Minnesota because he was looking at home health care facilities.
Home health care facilities.
But the thing is, he went to look for them and he didn't find them.
He didn't find them because they didn't exist.
But they're collecting, it's got to be millions and millions, if not tens of millions of dollars.
This is more fraud.
This is in Minnesota.
And you know what's happening in more than just Minnesota, but just listen to this News Nation guy, Rich McHugh.
Listen to this.
We're here in Northeast Minneapolis, and we're at a building that I believe is on the radar.
Authorities, they have questions about it.
A lot of the businesses in here are home health care businesses.
Of the total businesses, there's 37.
17 of them are home health care businesses.
17 in one building.
17.
And yet he can't find them actually doing any business.
There's more.
He went to other cities as well in Minnesota.
This building right behind me has 22 different home and community-based health care companies registered in the building.
It's only four floors.
I walked in there yesterday trying to find a number of them.
Many of them are just, they appear to be just window fronts, door fronts, with nobody behind.
I work every two weeks.
I get out, I work, and then every two weeks I get a paycheck, and I get a ridiculous amount of money taken from me.
And it goes to this because Minnesota gets federal funds that help pay them for this.
Who approved?
Like, I want people in prison.
Who approved these businesses?
Were they in on it as well?
Who are the state officials in all these states?
And you can concert in Minnesota for now.
Who are the officials that actually went there and checked them out and said, yep, you're good.
Put them in cuffs.
Lock them up.
Or is this just a way for Democrats to buy votes?
One more.
The number gets even higher this time.
Listen to Rich McHugh News Nation.
So same story, different location.
We're here in St. Paul at this building, which looks like a warehouse or a dilapidated old building.
Inside this building, there are 60 registered home and community health care organizations inside this one building.
Just like the feeding the children, ghost meals, the daycares or ghost daycares, these are ghost health care businesses.
They're registered to that building.
They don't actually exist.
They don't do what they're supposed to do.
They never thought people would actually look into this.
Can you imagine if there was no internet?
This would never get reported upon.
Again, that's why it's a whole new world.
And the Democrats are freaking out because their business model is going away.
Why are we paying taxes?
The video I put up from Libs of TikTok is remarkable.
They're literally in front of a laptop recording what's going on on the laptop.
They found an address, one address in Minnesota that has almost a dozen healthcare companies registered to it, all owned by Somalis.
But the phones are disconnected.
The website has all kinds of misspellings and fake pictures on it of people, fake numbers, you name it.
They never thought people would look into this.
So I went down the Minnesota fake daycare healthcare rabbit hole and I came across this address.
Hang on.
And it's fake day.
So it's fake daycares and the healthcare.
Again, the healthcare of, oh, we're going to help out autistic kids.
We're going to help out these people with a problem, this people, the problem.
And they get federal funds, but they just pocket them.
So she gets the address.
It's basically this building.
She looks at it.
Totally unmarked.
Yep.
We found nine.
Again, normally if you have healthcare businesses, they'd have signs like, hey, this is the blah, blah, blah.
This is the blah, blah, blah.
There are no signs.
It looks like an apartment complex, like a small apartment complex.
Healthcare companies running out of here.
Nine.
For sure, more.
We only found nine.
They all have Somali names.
One of them, Grace Care Center, which is run by Said Ahmad.
We looked into their website.
They claim to have a facility here for kids with autism.
This is their site.
Tons and tons of red flags.
We care your chill.
Yeah, instead of writing, we care for your children, it's we care, C-A-R, for your chill.
C-H-I-L, not children.
This is a legitimate place?
No.
Let's throw up a website so we look legitimate.
No one's ever going to look for it.
There's more.
So if you want your chill to leer, you can send them to the Grace Care Center to Lear in this Somali Learing Center.
Frequently question.
Not frequently asked questions, frequently question.
These numbers don't work.
They have random phone numbers.
This one just rings endlessly.
This one was disconnected.
We called a bunch that we found at this location and none of them went through.
Most of these do not have websites.
They don't have reviews.
Nothing.
This one at least has a website, although with a lot of spelling errors.
Yeah, and the pictures.
The gallery is spelled wrong.
Yeah, they just went to the internet and picked out images of children and put it on there for the gallery.
And if you click on the picture, it just goes to a 404 error page.
Don't lead anywhere.
Yep.
Yep.
And then these don't lead anywhere.
Yeah.
The social media doesn't go anywhere.
It goes to the top of the picture.
And then it says about us.
Random Numbers and Fake Galleries00:03:08
This is great.
It says it was founded by Omar with a stock image of a white woman.
There you go.
Omar with a stock image of a white woman.
That's Omar.
Omar was eaten by the tiger in the hangover.
Omar.
If there's ever a time for these people to get busted, now is the time.
And I know Trump's doing a lot of stuff and it's one person and you have a hope.
He's a good team and they can stick with it.
I just want more.
And I know Kash Patel is fighting terrorists.
They just announced they stopped an ISIS terrorist attack at a grocery store in North Carolina.
He's got his hands full, right?
But this needs to happen.
Pam Bondi, like we need people.
They got to pay the price.
They need to be perp walked.
They need to go to prison.
They need to be sent out of the country.
We can't have this.
And if there's ever a time where it's going to happen, don't you think that would be now?
If JD Vance is president in 2028 or 2029, I'm sure that he'd look into it as well.
He's called this stuff out.
But I want this stuff to happen now.
And it needs to get around even more.
And again, it's so telling that the media doesn't want to cover it.
They just don't want to cover it as if this is not a big deal.
And this, I hate this.
Well, they don't want to, the media, I saw these stories over the weekend.
The media, they, or through the week, they don't want to be looked at as racist.
If they report that the Somalis are doing this, it's racist.
No, they just don't want to cover it.
That's all it comes down to.
They don't want to cover it.
You don't see it anywhere on any of these websites.
CBS news, NBC news.
They don't cover it.
This is why nobody wants to watch them.
They just don't.

Ohio Daycare Fraud Scandal00:03:10
And it's just, this story is only going to keep getting bigger.
It's only going to keep getting bigger.
There's even one right now.
I mean, it's out there in Ohio, right?
We've been talking about Minnesota for a while.
I have on my Instagram story that crazy video of a random, just a house, a really nice big house in a subdivision in the state of Washington that is somehow listed as a daycare center collecting hundreds of thousands of dollars.
And a guy walked up and knocked on the door and the reaction from the homeowner that apparently is ripping us off is off the charts.
You could see it on my Instagram, like me on Instagram at Garrett Lewis.
And you could click on my story so you can check that one out.
It's that crazy.
Apparently in Ohio, and this is just kind of nuts, but it's happening.
This kind of fraud is happening.
And the rhino governor in Ohio is legitimizing it.
He's legitimizing it.
There are multiple reports that more than 40 Columbus, Ohio daycare centers opened on the same day under one shell organization.
And they were paid $14 million by the taxpayers in 2024.
That's only in Columbus, Ohio.
You don't think that's happening all over the place?
I'm sure it's happening in Tucson, Arizona and in Phoenix, Arizona and everywhere.
I'm sure it's happening all over the place.
So that happens.
And this is now getting so out there about these daycare centers in Columbus that they have a rhino governor in Ohio, Mike DeWine.
This guy was a COVID.
He was a monster.
He is of the, because I'm in Arizona, the Doug Ducey ilk, the Brian Kemp ilk.
The reaction to this is, and this is why I say it's both sides.
It's the rhino.
It's not the MAGA, it's not the conservative, not the America First, it's the Rhinos, along with the Democrats.
The Ohio governor, Mike DeWine, his office, he's got a spokesperson named Dan Tierney.
Dan Tierney was asked about these daycares, and he said, it's not accurate.
We're seeing any sort of surge, but we're taking note, quote, if people are out there who could not contemplate that people were trying to defraud the public through the daycare centers, I understand it's new to them, but it's been known to the state for decades.
Okay.
Why are we taking our money?
He said, so therefore we have robust anti-fraud measures to try and stop this.
This is something that is unfortunately the cost of doing business.
That's the attitude.
It's the cost of doing business.
Losing the fraud.
Tens of millions, if not hundreds of millions of dollars to taxpayers in Ohio is the cost of doing business.
How about we just don't, I don't know, subsidize these things?
How about we stop this?
Who's getting paid on the back end?
Who's getting a percentage of it?
Ohio's Cost of Doing Business00:00:45
That's what I always say.
There's got to be somebody.
Why else would Mike DeWine let this go?
Does he just not care?
Who else is creating fictitious businesses, promising things?
Again, did you really think these crazy studies, hey, we're studying if female turtles become males and blah, blah, blah in Zimbabwe.
It's just where they can lose the money.
I don't think those studies were ever happening.
It's crazy.
Well, I'm sure Glenn will be all over this when he is back on Monday.
Thank you for listening to me.
I appreciate it.
Happy New Year again.
