INFOWARS SUNDAY BRIEFING: Join Investigative Journalist Nick Sortor As He Gives Boots On The Ground Coverage From Minnesota Exposing Tim Walz And Somali Healthcare Fraud! Must Watch/Must Share Broadcast! Infowars Sunday Briefing, FULL SHOW - 01.04.2026 @nicksortor https://t.co/P1SPICvHzh
Nick Sortor reports violent harassment at Minnesota’s Quality Learning Center by "Somalis" over six days, with police ignoring false 911 calls but warning him of hate crime charges. Governor Tim Walz’s 20-week paid leave program, funded by payroll taxes, faces fraud allegations—Senator Michael Holmstrom predicts bankruptcy by June due to abuse like siblings claiming leave for one parent. Kentucky Rep. TJ Roberts exposes Andy Besheer’s administration issuing $200 licenses to illegal immigrants without testing, firing whistleblower Melissa Moorman, and covering up corruption tied to Besheer’s opposition to deportation laws after an arrest-linked immigrant’s fatal attack. Sortor and Roberts link systemic fraud in Somali-run healthcare/daycare centers—60 empty businesses in Saint Paul—to broader left-wing complicity, urging federal action but warning of political resistance, with calls for Walz’s subpoena and Besheer’s impeachment. [Automatically generated summary]
However, I was set up actually and had a pretty decent setup outside the Quality Laring Center until the violent Somalis decided to go ahead and surround me and start yelling at me and calling for backup.
So now I'm live from inside the vehicle outside the Quality Laring Center until I get some backup out here.
You just never know how this stuff is going to end up playing out with these people.
They have literally nothing to lose at this point because they've been exposed beyond, hopefully beyond repair.
And that's why we're still out here pushing on this entire issue.
Now, Tim Waltz has responded to these exposes, we'll say, by not attacking the fraudsters or digging into it any further or launching new investigations.
No, he has decided that he was going to start attacking Nick Shirley.
Yes, calling him today on Twitter a conspiracy theorist, of course, I mean amongst their names, which just shows you that this guy is not even remotely serious about digging into the fraud.
Nobody believes him when he says that it's not happening anymore.
Nobody, not even his own party believes him when he says that it's not happening and they have it under control.
They're not doing very well being able to defend it.
His favorite newspaper out here, the Minnesota Star Tribune, which is basically the mouthpiece for the Democratic Party out here and for Tim Waltz himself is even having a hard time defending it.
And so again, they're going after Nick Shirley instead, even talking about the fact that his family settled a lawsuit when he was twelve years old that had nothing to do with him, but they tried to use that as an attack piece against Nick Shirley.
Of course, they can't they can't attack the story.
So they're going to try to attack the messenger d did exactly the same thing to me out there in Portland.
I was reporting on the ground out there.
And, uh, hell, I warned Nick right away.
That's exactly what was going to happen.
It's very predictable.
Uh, and the, the character assassination.
It's not going to work on him.
It just isn't.
I've known him for a long time.
He is a, uh, super good.
Oh, here's the Minnesota Minneapolis police.
See if there's somebody probably.
called them on me again, which we got that story a little bit later in the episode here.
I've been out here for, I guess, how many days now?
Maybe five, six days, something like that, kind of lost track at this point.
And we have now had the police call on us, least twice, and they end up running lights and sirens.
Because the Somalis have learned that if you call the police and tell them that they are Yeah, that someone is coming after you with a firearm, they'll they'll come out lights and sirens.
However, if I were to call them and say that I was being attacked and and followed and stalked by these Somalis, they'll probably just come over here and charge me with a hate crime.
I mean, the Minneapolis Police Department is one of the most corrupt police departments in the country.
And I mean that for the most part they've had their bald cut off since, uh, since the George Floyd days.
That was another place, guys, that I wanted to go live from was George Floyd Plaza, but I thought that that would be way too dangerous.
And so I thought maybe the quality learning center would be a little bit less dangerous, but that has now proven to not be the case.
Shouldn't have to worry about being violently attacked.
Oh, here's the police again.
Now they're just hovering behind me.
We're going to have some fun.
unidentified
Can you guys, yeah, you guys can see it a little bit.
Oh, yeah, George Floyd, one of the most, one of the ugliest, most offensive. pieces of really garbage that I've ever seen.
I've never seen pictures of George Floyd Plaza before and there's a reason for that is because nobody wants to publish photos of that place because it's so ugly.
It looks like it was imported directly from Somalia and that's like a no go zone for police at this point.
Go ahead and roll clip ten guys.
It shows this.
This is what we've been dealing with here.
This is outside yesterday outside the quality murdering center with police responding lights and sirens because a journalist was taking pictures outside the building.
Not a single person...
Not a single person has been arrested or charged or cited or anything for these false 911 calls.
Because what they're saying is what we was reaching in his pocket.
And it made me think he had a gun.
They know that I didn't have a firearm.
They know that none of these other journalists that they're calling the police on are there to shoot them.
They're just using it as a scare tactic to keep us away.
And that's what they're using the other thugs out here for that come out here and harass me.
Because they think they will just go away.
But in reality, all they're doing is exposing themselves.
Because now I have to do this from the confines of a vehicle.
So, but anyway, we'll actually get into the meat of the show right after the break here.
We're going to have a Minnesota State Senator on who is calling out a lot of the fraud that's happening in the state government as well as that new family leave program where the Somalis get 20 weeks of paid leave on the taxpayer's dime and how they're already scamming that.
We'll be right back right after the break.
Bear with us here.
So, guys, we're going to do this a little bit differently because I don't like having to be confined to my car and not being allowed to go wherever I want to.
So that's what we're going to do.
We're going to film wherever we want to film.
And where that is, is outside the quality learning center out here.
It looks like the police, although they definitely weren't here to protect me, did scare away for now the Somali mob that was outside here.
But in the meantime, you know what?
What I actually want to get into is some substance here and something that several, especially higher profile conservatives out here in Minnesota have been sounding the alarm on, and that is this Tim Waltz's new paid family leave program, twenty weeks for Somalis and other illegals that just started on January 1st.
And here to talk about that, we have Senator Holmstrom from Minnesota out here.
one of the best Republicans in the legislature out here.
Welcome to the show out here in front of the Quality Learning Center.
Senator, thank you for being here.
Thanks for the invitation.
Yeah.
And so guys, I want to roll clip.
Clip number fifteen, I believe, where because you have whistleblowers that are already talking about the scam that is occurring in Tim Waltz's.
Whistleblowers and state government are saying that people are planning to scam it.
Under the new law, almost every resident is eligible to take up to 20 weeks of paid leave a year to take care of family or for medical reasons with taxpayers footing the bill and paying out a percentage of a person's salary up to 1420 dollars a week.
The programs projected to cost cost between one and one and a half billion dollars a year, but Republican lawmakers say that could go up dramatically thanks to how vaguely the law is written, making it ripe for fraud.
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.
But that's just, there's no guardrails.
It's going to be rined with fraud, just like we see in our other systems.
The honor system is not the best way to distribute all this money.
So this money is actually being added to a payroll tax.
Employers and employees are paying it themselves.
It's making everyone feel entitled.
If I'm paying the tax, I might as well take the benefit.
And the result is we were supposed to have 120, 130,000 people in the first year to sign up.
In the first two days, we had more than 10% of that.
We're going to be totally over budget by mid of January.
This program is going to be broken and completely out of money by June.
And there's no the only option is they're going to make us try to canal more money into it or increase taxes, neither will have my support or the support I imagine of any of my Republican colleagues.
This is a broken system set up by people who don't understand how economics works and they want to try to give free things away to buy more boats.
Yeah, and so based on what it sounds like, every single year, you can designate someone else.
That's twenty weeks out of the year, up to twenty weeks out of the year.
And it sounds like also that it's up to the employer to verify or sign off and hold the individual responsible for whoever they say they're taking care of.
So if I work at a Somali daycare, for example, can I not just go to my Somali boss and just have him sign off on twenty weeks of paid family leave?
What's even crazier is if my mother is chronically ill and I have eight brothers and sisters, all eight of us could take twenty weeks off simultaneously to care for that one parent.
That's so this is it it compounds.
It's just insane.
And obviously that's not what anyone's going to do.
This is if you have eight people take off work to care for one person, eight people are going on vacation.
Well, and I mean, that was one of the examples given on Fox the other day, too, by that one of your colleagues out there saying that, yeah, just go take care of my uncle down in Florida for twenty weeks and get paid by the Minnesota taxpayer to do so.
So, you know, it's interesting that you say that out, out beyond the belt loop, the hour away from the cities, uh, that's referred to as rocks and cows country.
Uh, Tim Walz says that the only thing that exists beyond 494 and 694 is rocks and cows.
There are no voters out here that matter.
Uh, that's uh, he's famously attacked for that and fairly enough because he doesn't care about anyone outside of the outside of the metro.
And he is, it's exemplified by all these programs.
We see all this fraud.
Most of it is taking place within the Metro and it's really frustrating.
The solution is Minnesotans have to wake up.
They have to be ready to go to bat on election day, but not just on election day.
They need to make sure that they're campaigning on behalf of common sense, logical people.
So we're going to be coming into this campaign cycle and we need every single Minnesotan who cares, who's listening to this program or any program to contact everyone on their phone.
Call all your friends, all your relatives, all your work colleagues and just make sure they know about what''s happening in the fraud.
It seems like with how this is we're talking about it every single day, there are still some people who don't realize how crazy it is, that don't realize that they're getting a ten billion dollar tax increase two years ago and almost all of that money ends up going to fraud.
Nine billion dollars has gone to fraud now.
That's not that's a losing proposition for Democrats.
They're totally disjointed right now.
Their party doesn't know what's going on.
They don't know how to handle this.
If we can do a good job of showing that, we're going to win.
Yeah, and I think over the past week and a half, two weeks now, you guys have done a really, really good job showcasing why we need to get back to it and why your state needs to turn away from the policies of Tim Waltz and the rest of the Democratic Party out here.
And so, Michael, I want to give you the opportunity right now because you're just how long have you been in the Senate?
Okay, and we are back here again outside the quality learning learning center.
We found a spot where maybe it'll be a little bit more difficult to be cornered at the time.
However, it is snowing out here now.
I can't wait to leave Minneapolis.
I'm just being totally honest.
I mean, I'm it's great to be able to report from out here, but and and try to get to the bottom of some of this stuff, but man, is it cold and man, do the people in Minneapolis absolutely suck.
Anyway, I've stopped complaining now and let's bring on on TJ Roberts, my friend TJ Roberts.
He's a Kentucky State representative as well as an attorney who I have had to call on multiple occasions out here because, you know, dealing with police and such.
And I think that rain energy drinks and alp nicotine pouches need to be thanking you for keeping me awake so much for all the times you've had to call me.
Yeah, just so everybody, so TJ is also my attorney, my attorney personally, which is very helpful at times.
I give this guy heart attacks all the time by having to call him at 3 o'clock in the morning.
And the answers, typically, you never know what it's going to be, but we definitely appreciate you, TJ, on that.
But I think this is an important topic that I wanted to bring up with you in particular, because you are also a state legislator as well.
So you understand how federal funding works.
When checks are written from the federal government to the state to fund projects like this, I I at least hope you don't have anything like this in the state of Kentucky going on there.
I know there aren't very, there are very many smileys out there, but why is it taking, why does it seem very difficult, TJ, for the federal government just to make blanket cuts across the board, no more money to Minnesota at all until they fix the fraud problems everywhere?.
Well, Nick, that's actually a really great question.
Unfortunately, we do have issues like this happening in Kentucky, such as the granting of illegal driver's licenses to illegal immigrants for $200 in cash, and to say the least, roads are federally subsidized, but why is this so difficult?
It's because there is Yeah, go ahead.
Go ahead.
There's no appetite to cut spending, which we absolutely need to do anyway.
I I'm amazed that people think it's the role of the federal government to provide for daycare.
I mean, it's not the role of government to raise your children.
That is a terrifying proposition, especially when you look at the sheer impropriety that government tends to engage in and the people in charge of our government.
It's absurd.
It's a preposterous notion.
But the fact that they are frauding it makes it all the more outrageous because there are people who pay for their taxes and have tax liens put on them and they're trying to make an honest living and we're using that money to go towards fraudsters who frankly shouldn't even be in this country in the first place.
Yeah, and it seems to go much further than just the daycare frauds out here.
You also have this one right here.
It was a fantastic reporting from News Nation's Rick McHugh discovering a build building in Minnesota with sixty, sixty Somali healthcare companies with signs on the door but nothing inside at all.
Guys, that's a clip number sixteen.
If you can roll that one for me, go ahead and roll it with audio.
But I want to go back a little bit to what we were talking about earlier.
You said that Congress doesn't have the balls to act.
We know that.
We've known that for years and I don't think they ever will have the balls to act on any of this stuff.
But what I want for people in the audience that they may not understand is why don't we just see the administration come in here and do they have the ability to unilaterally cut off federal funding for all programs because of the rampant fraud that's been proven.
I think that they do have that ability because the goal of the executive branch is to carry out the law and the law states that these are for giving childcare, for health care.
So if you're not using it for that purpose, it would stand a reason that the executive branch has the ability to take enforcement action to deny these funds until it's proven that these are not fraudulent entities.
And further, that's something I've been hearing that DOJE is working on as well, not just for Minnesota but for all states.
I hope they actually follow through with that because look, if we are going to have these programs, they should at least be administered honestly.
It's a spit in the face to every single American taxpayer to say that you should have to fund fraudsters.
And the the other thing that you heard or Rich McHugh saying there is that Tim Waltz may or may not be testifying in front of the House Oversight Committee.
It's they've been not, Tim has not been subpoenaed.
He has been invited to testify.
I mean, why not subpoena him, TJ?
Do you have to do the invitation first?
Is that right?
First, is that required?
And then if he doesn't show up, then you subpoena him?
And I mean, it might be difficult to subpoena someone with the mental infirmities of Tim Walz, but that said, they should still subpoena him.
They should drag him before Congress, let him plead the fifth amendment and from there the Department of Justice needs to indict him and they need to do it right.
They need to convict him.
He needs to be in prison for this because we know he's facilitating it.
He has absolutely no problem whatsoever with fraudulently stealing your money to benefit his political supporters.
And that's what this is.
It's an effort to change Minnesota permanently blue.
And what's interesting, I was just talking to one of the amazing Reporpublican senator is out here and he was telling me that confirming what I was saying is that people outside of Minneapolis don't like Tim Waltz, right?
So if you were to indict Tim Waltz federally, the reason that you have, just for example, you had the judge out there, Hannah Dugan in Wisconsin, in Milwaukee, that just got convicted of a felony out there in Wisconsin for impeding federal law enforcement and hiding a detainee.
If Tim Waltz were to be federally charged out here, he's not going to be judged just by people in Minneapolis.
It's going to be the rest of the state as well.
So I don't know, it's, uh, or at least much more of the, uh, the state.
I don't know exactly what the district lines are, but either way, there's a possibility you could see Tim Waltz, uh, indicted and even convicted for something.
And, but TJ, I want to talk a little bit more about Andy Bashir, another corrupt Democrat governor out there in your state.
If I can hold you over to the next segment, we'll talk a little bit about him about him.
You can hear all the sirens in the background and stuff too.
Everything is great out here in Tim Waltz, Minneapolis.
But anyway, we'll go back to what we were actually talking about.
You know, early in the show, TJ, I was surrounded by Somalis and had to jump in the car until the police showed up and then they all scattered like animals.
But anyway, we're going to now, let's talk about your governor out there, mister Tim Walt, or mister Andy Besheer, which is like, surprisingly, I'm not a big fan of Andy Besheer, never have been.
The reason I'm in politics now is because, sort of, because of you and me getting angry and trying to impeach your governor out there, mister Andy Besheer.
We printed out, like, tens of thousands of petitions overnight delivered from the Capitol when he was cutting down Beshe illegally out there in Kentucky during COVID and was and the Republicans out there, the spinalist Republicans at the time just wouldn't do anything with it.
They just wouldn't impeach the Democratic governor.
But tell me, what's this latest scandal, TJ?
I've been reading a little about this driver's license for illegals, but it looks like it goes deeper than that.
So a woman named Melissa Moorman engaged in whistleblowing.
She reported the fact that the transportation cabinet, which is part of Andy Bashir's administration, had created a pattern and practice, at least in Elizabethtown.
It has now been clear that this is throughout Kentucky, that illegal immigrants are going into our driver's licensing centers, giving the clerks $200 in cash.
And at that point, they're giving them driver's licenses without even testing them.
By the way, this is illegal.
One, they shouldn't be in this country in the first place.
But second, it also is that we have a specific rule.
You have to be lawfully present in order to get a Kentucky driver's license.
These people are not eligible for it.
Melissa Moorman puts out that report and she's fired for it.
The governor, the transportation cabinet, this administration has now been sued for retaliation over it.
I did an open records request to try to get these documents as did several other groups.
And unfortunately, we were all denied, but a judge just ruled that they flagrantly violated the Open Records Act and that they have to turn over these documents about this bribery scheme.
And that's exactly what this is.
We're giving these folks driver's licenses, which, by the way, is qualified photo ID for you to vote in a Kentucky election.
So there's voter fraud issues there.
There's also the fact that we're just incentivizing more illegal immigration, which is a huge problem in Kentucky of all places.
And we have, I've got, I think this is the boiling point of this point.
The governor is not only engaging in blatantly illegal actions, they're covering it up.
They're, and in many ways, the cover-up is worse than the crime.
Usually, I'm introducing articles of impeachment against Andy Bashir in response to this, as well as Secretary Jim Gray, who is in charge of the Transportation Cabinet.
This is the level of pay-to-play corruption that we've all come to expectpect from Andy Beshear, but where we're at with this is that we have to take drastic action to make sure that we have a government that serves the people who are here legally.
So do you think, TJ, do you think Andy Beshear was involved in this scandal?
I mean, it's called the Beshear crime family for a reason, right?
I mean, do you have any reason to believe that he was directly involved in this scandal and potentially, and you said Jim Gray as well, the transportation cabinet secretary, I believe another Democrat.
Yeah, I mean, whistleblowers don't get fired for exposing a colleague at the same level as them.
Someone higher up has to have been involved in order for this to get to the point that the governor would open us up to legal liabilities under whistleblower retaliation claims.
And that's why I think he's directly involved.
And if he's not involved in the immediate scandal, he's clearly involved in the cover up of it.
So either one of those in my view is an abuse of office, either one of those is a high crime or a misdemeanor.
What we have to realize as well, Nick, is this isn't the first time that Andy Bashir has been called and paid to play politics.
It's one of the most common things about him of just whether it's illegal straw donors from elected officials in order to get them on advisory boards with the transportation cabinet, whether it's to get their road projects reprioritized, whether it's certificate of need fraud, and there's more on that coming in the near future.
But there are so many issues with the Besheer crime family.
And what it says to me is that as well, Andy Besheer has a strong record of being for open borders and protecting illegal immigrants.
He has come out against my legislation to help expedite deportations of illegal immigrants here in Kentucky, even after a person was killed as a result of illegals being here who have been previously arrested.
The reality is Andy Besheer is anything but a moderate.
He's trying to market himself as such because it's obvious that he's going to run for president.
We have to put a stop to it.
We have to make sure that whatever our disagreements may be, that at least our government's not corrupt.
I mean, Andy Bashir is not not the type of person that excites voters, but what he is is the type of person that excites the money to special interests.
There's a reason he's the chairman of the Democratic Governors Association.
People look at Andy Beshear and they are and they see him as someone that will look out for the institutions, which is something that frankly is no longer a merit.
It's actually a blight on his record.
But that is one of the things is that the left fundamentally wants to protect the institutions that keep the left in power and Bashir's the king of that.
And they are absolutely gearing him up for a presidential run, if not a vice presidential run with Gavin Newscum.
And that is why I'm looking at this and realizing it is more likely than not that he can be a dark horse candidate for Charlie Kirk even talked about how he was concerned about a possible Bashir ticket in 2028.
It's a rental bro, but I mean that's fine if it makes you feel better Well, you know, anyway, so it was actually, I said earlier in the show that I had the I said that I had the cops called on me twice.
It was actually three times.
I forgot about this instance.
But anyway, they didn't like my happy new year wish.
Apparently there's these weird ass daycare centers, apparently nightcare.
They look like nightclubs at night with all the people in the parking lot.
