I think it’s unfortunate he did this, but lucky you recorded your own copy to prove others will twist what happened. We should add a clause that no one can edit your interview without your permission. Keeping a personal copy is smart; I’ve seen editing in Saint Cloud gas explosion coverage. Trump sued CBS over deceptive editing—maybe we should hold others to the same standard. It’s crucial we learn from fallacies; Charlie Kirk faced the same—insist on video of podcasts.

It’s unfortunate that he did this however very fortunate you recorded your own. That way you can show that others will try and twist what actually happened. Lessons learned, going forward to put a clause that states no one can edit your interview without your permission. Very smart to keep your own copy. I was in an interview with them back when the saint cloud gas explosion happened. And they definitely did a lot of editing cutting and pasting. A good job on your reporting. Trump won a lawsuit against Paramount (CBS) for deceptive editing. Maybe calling him out the same way is necessary. Just a thought. It's VERY important that we lear from this and many other fallacies occurring right under our noses Charlie Kirk faced the same thing. Stay strong. Require video of the podcasts.

Speaker 0 recounts a recent sit-down podcast-style interview with Andrew Callahan for Channel Five. He says the posted video is only an hour long, but the actual conversation lasted around two and a half hours, and he notes that the posted clip does not reflect what happened. He points to a clip where the question is “Why American city is prospering right now?” and a list of cities is discussed, with responses suggesting prosperity correlates with low state taxes and non-Democrat control. He notes that Denver is described as not prospering, and argues that Andrew did not include this response in the posted clip, implying it would upset his audience.
Speaker 1 presents the clip and asserts: “Why American city is prospering right now? Austin. Austin? Name another one? El Paso, Texas.” The dialogue continues with “El Paso, Texas is prospering? Yeah. Nashville. Nashville's doing good. Phoenix is doing good.” The claim follows that “Basically, any place with low state tax is getting a lot of” and then another line, “In any place that's not Democrat.” The exchange then asks for a Democrat city that’s prospering, with the response that Denver would have to be affordable and prospering, and Speaker 1 questions, “Denver. Why are you smirking? It’s not prospering.” The two acknowledge that the Democrat-run states are not prospering, and Speaker 0 notes it’s odd Andrew didn’t include this in the post, suggesting a potential bias or misrepresentation.
Speaker 0 then shifts to a separate topic about Somalians and fraud in Minnesota. They state, “89% of the fraud that has been charged inside of Minnesota is by Somalians.” Speaker 1 asks for the source: “Where exactly is that statistic from? You can pull it up on the screen.” They discuss verifying the statistic, with Speaker 1 offering to find it, and Speaker 0 emphasizes that the statistic is presented while noting, “I just wanna make sure we have the exact.” There is a moment where Speaker 1 says, “Oh, do you want me to find it right now? For sure. Just so I can I I don’t know? I I I believe you.” The exchange then shows Speaker 0 claiming that Andrew had to redo or correct the segment due to the fraud claim, and that Andrew’s response seemed to misrepresent the fact.
Speaker 0 concludes that these are two examples from the interview where Andrew “literally went out of his way to try and make me look bad,” and asserts that, if he interviews anyone, “you’re gonna get the full product,” claiming to be benevolent in allowing full footage. He encourages viewers to watch the full interview on his second channel.

Speaker 0: All right. This is super important, and I also learned a great lesson here. So the other week I sat down with Andrew Callahan in Channel five to do a sit down podcast style interview for his channel. And when he goes and posts the video, I see he just posts an hour long interview. I said, well, that's weird because we actually spoke for around two and a half hours.
And then I go and watch the interview. I'm saying, well, what what is this? This is not what happened. For instance, this clip right here.
Speaker 1: Why American city is prospering right now? Austin. Austin? Name another one? El Paso, Texas.
El Paso, Texas is prospering? Yeah. Nashville. Nashville's doing good. Phoenix is doing good.
Basically, any place with low state tax is getting a lot of In any place that's not democrat. I don't know about that. I mean Name a democrat city that's prospering right now. Well, it would have to be one that's affordable. Name one.
Denver. Why are you smirking? It's not prospering.
Speaker 0: Alright. So that's a clip Andrew posted, but this is the actual interaction of how it went.
Speaker 1: Denver. Why are you smoking? Because I don't know if it's prospering or You can't even ask the question. It's not prospering. Denver is not prospering either.
I agree that democrat run states are are doing badly.
Speaker 0: Kinda weird that Andrew didn't put that in. Right? Maybe his, like, base or something would not happy with that response because he obviously got caught lying. And, anyways, let's talk let's move over to the next topic when we're talking about Somalians being known for pirating as 89% of the fraud that has been charged inside of Minnesota is by Somalians. This is the interaction that Andrew posted.
Speaker 1: Community, or do you see it as both? 89% of the fraud is being committed by Somalians. Where where exactly is that statistic from? You can pull it up on the screen. You'll find it.
I just wanna know where it's from. Oh, do want me to find it right now? For sure. Just so I can I I don't know? I I I believe you.
I just wanna make sure we have the exact Here. Right here. Yeah. And it's not racist to say it. Probably.
And when I
Speaker 0: go This is what happens when I show him the fact that 89% of the people who have been charged for fraud in Minnesota are Somalians. This is what Andrew had to say. But remember, he conveniently left this out of the interview.
Speaker 1: 89% of those charged in connection with a major white male identified as small immigrants. Well, looks like we've got to redo their their I'm interested to see what you put in this interview because it looks like there is a problem with with fraud.
Speaker 0: So there you go. That's just two examples from the interview with Andrew Callahan where he literally went out of his way to try and make me look bad, which is not cool. And I wouldn't say that's, like, very benevolent of him to do by any means. But I promise you guys, I ever do an interview with anyone, you're gonna get the full product because I think that's just, like, the most benevolent thing to do. Anyways, I hope you guys enjoyed, and you guys were able to see through what I just showed you.
The full interview is up on my second channel.

Video Transcript AI Summary
The transcript records a contentious exchange in a congressional hearing focused on fraud allegations in Minnesota tied to Somali immigrant communities, with aggressive rhetoric and several pointed questions from Speaker 0 and Speaker 1.
Key points and sequence:
- Speaker 0 decries what they call “insane” behavior regarding Rep. Nancy Mace’s simple question and references a “cover up.”
- Speaker 1 asserts a “tr breathtaking” amount of fraud allegedly perpetrated against Americans by Somalis in Minnesota, accusing Democrats of avoiding discussion and calling for accountability, suggesting the fraud could exceed Somalia’s GDP.
- Speaker 1 asks the witness (Mr. Balu) whether Somali-Americans should be required to speak English if they are American citizens, pressing for a yes/no answer. The question is deemed “inappropriate” by Speaker 2, who says the question is not appropriate, while Speaker 1 insists on a simple yes/no. A point of inquiry is raised about whether English is the official language of the United States.
- Repeated interruptions occur as Speaker 1 seeks to reclaim time, with a back-and-forth over the validity of the questions.
- Speaker 1 asks whether Somalians who committed fraud should be denaturalized and deported; Speaker 2 replies that most Somali Minnesotans are citizens, and he attempts to answer under US law. The exchange continues with insistence on yes/no answers, including a question about denaturalization for those who commit immigration fraud or marry a relative (brother) in relation to immigration fraud—viewed as inappropriate by Speaker 2.
- Speaker 1 asks for a significant contribution to Minnesota from a Somali immigrant who cannot speak English; Speaker 2 begins to respond but the question remains unresolved.
- The discussion shifts to Robbins, who is asked about Al Shabaab and whether money defrauded from the US went to Al Shabaab. Robbins explains that while there is no specific amount in general remittance fraud, a portion is taken as “tax” or corruption by Al Shabaab when funds enter the country.
- Speaker 1 asks for clarification about who Al Shabaab is; Robbins identifies it as a terrorist organization in Somalia, affiliated with Al Qaeda in the speaker’s view.
- The DNI is cited by Speaker 1 as stating that since 2014 Al Shabaab has killed more US citizens than any other Al Qaeda affiliate and, as of 2025, is Al Qaeda’s wealthiest component. The transfer of this claim is linked to debates about US tax dollars and Minnesota governance, including criticism of Governor Tim Walz (referred to as Tim Walls) and a mention of his resignation, with credit given to a YouTuber for highlighting Minnesota fraud. The discussion also involves Keith Ellison and questions about their roles and awareness of fraud within Minnesota.
- Robbins details how the administration allegedly hindered internal controls and investigations by the OIG and DHS.
- Speaker 0 concludes with a reiteration that residents seeking citizenship or asylum should learn English, asserting that many Somali immigrants in Minnesota did not speak English and questioning how they perpetrated such large fraud, and asks what questions should be asked moving forward.
Overall, the transcript captures a highly charged exchange blending accusations of widespread fraud, language policy questions, denaturalization debates, and allegations concerning the funding of extremist organizations, with references to specific political figures and agencies.

Speaker 0: This is insane. Rep Nancy Mace asked a very simple question with a very obvious answer, and all hell broke loose.
Speaker 1: Thank you. As I listen to the witnesses answer questions today, I'm struck by the truly breathtaking amount of fraud, the scope and scale perpetrated against the American people by Somalians in Minnesota, screeching Democrats like you just heard at our witnesses. Democrats on this committee don't wanna talk about Minnesota fraud because Minnesota fraud is democrat fraud. You're gonna make a great host on MSNBC. You're gonna be great.
And this is a cover up. I mean, the the the very definition of cover up. And so while we're still trying to understand the scale of the fraud, it appears that the amount of fraud we are talking about could exceed the size of GDP in Somalia, the size of its economy is what we're talking about. So let that sink in the amount of fraud we're talking about. My first question is this mister Balu this this afternoon.
Should Somalians in Minnesota be required to speak English, their citizens? One Yes or no? Should they be required to speak English if they're American citizens?
Speaker 2: I think that question's really inappropriate.
Speaker 1: Should they it's not inappropriate. This is The United States Of America. Do you speak English? Should Americans speak English? Citizens speak English?
Yes or no?
Speaker 3: Point of inquiry. Is English the official language of The United States? I'm just it's question I don't
Speaker 1: Mister chairman, I'm being interrupted again by another
Speaker 2: I would
Speaker 1: like to reclaim my time, mister chairman. Mister chairman, I'd like to reclaim
Speaker 3: my time. Not
Speaker 2: a valid that's not a valid
Speaker 3: inquiry. It's a fucking quack.
Speaker 0: Would like to reclaim my time.
Speaker 1: I think I've lost, like, ten seconds there.
Speaker 2: Okay. We'll give you ten seconds.
Speaker 1: Okay. My next question is, should Somalians who committed fraud be denaturalized and deported, mister Balu?
Speaker 2: Again, I'm not sure that's an appropriate question because the majority of Somalian So
Speaker 1: if commit fraud in this country and you hear from Somalia, you don't believe they should be denaturalized and deported? How much fraud would it take for you to wanna denaturalize and deport someone who committed fraud in this country? How much? Again, 1,000,000,000, 9,000,000,000, 19,000,000,000, what would it take for you?
Speaker 2: Most Somali Minnesotans are citizens.
Speaker 1: Right. And the ones that committed fraud, the question was, if you understand English should be those who committed fraud, should they be denaturalized and deported? The Somalians who are here, the ones that can't speak English.
Speaker 2: Yeah. So under US law
Speaker 4: Okay.
Speaker 1: My next question for you
Speaker 2: Can I please post
Speaker 3: the question?
Speaker 1: No. You can't because you're not answering the question. My next question is this is yes or no. If you marry your brother and you commit immigration fraud, should you be denaturalized and deported? Again, that immigration fraud.
Yes or no?
Speaker 2: Again, that question seems really inappropriate. And if I can get back
Speaker 1: to answer my question, so that's probably more inappropriate. Can you name one significant contribution to Minnesota from a Somali immigrant who can't speak English?
Speaker 2: Absolutely. Yes. But again, this is
Speaker 1: You didn't name one. Alright. So my next questions are gonna be for the honorable miss Robbins. Good afternoon. Thank you for all for being here today.
I heard some discussion earlier about al Shabaab. Mhmm. And the discovery that you believe some of this money that was defrauded the US government went to Al Shabaab. Is that correct? Did I hear that right?
Yes. It's been proven. How much money are we talking about?
Speaker 4: You know, don't have an amount. So there's been specific cases where it's been charged where we have an amount, but then of the millions that go to Somali over the years in remittances, a portion of that we understand is taken as sort of a tax or a or you know, corruption by al Shabaab when it enters the country.
Speaker 0: Can you
Speaker 1: explain to us who al Shabaab is?
Speaker 4: It's a terrorist organization in Somalia.
Speaker 1: And they're affiliated with Al Qaeda. Is that right?
Speaker 4: My understanding is they are.
Speaker 1: I am on the DNI website where it tells me that since 2014, Al Shabaab has killed more US citizens than any other Al Qaeda affiliate. And as of 2025, Al Shabaab, this group is Al Qaeda's wealthiest component. Can you believe that? Yes. And that American tax dollars through Minnesota, through governor Tim Walls, who shamefully had to resign from his reelection the other day.
Thank you to the young YouTuber, Nick Shirley. This is the kind of thing that was happening in Minnesota. So I praise, the Republicans who are here today from the Minnesota State Legislature exposing this fraud. And then, miss Robbins, when do you
Speaker 4: think Tim Mulls became aware of the fraud? I think he's been aware of it since the beginning. This was a huge issue in our state in the year he ran for governor, and the OLA reports came out first identifying the childcare fraud in March and September 2019 when he was in the first months of his term.
Speaker 1: Was Keith Ellison in on it too knowledgeable, the Catholic turned Muslim guy of in Minnesota?
Speaker 4: Yes. They were all newly in office, and this was very public knowledge in Minnesota.
Speaker 1: What role do you think he Tim Walls and Keith Ellison played their his administration in delaying investigations into the fraud?
Speaker 4: So I've outlined several things where they stopped our ability to strengthen internal controls, and they also shut down the criminal investigations by the OIG and DHS.
Speaker 1: Thank you, mister chairman. I yield back. I do have two articles, mister chairman, that I would like to ask an anecdote. This one on foxnews.com, Minnesota fraud probe will expand to other states. And then on house.gov, legislators blast DHS for revelations that had contracts with feeding our future fraudsters.
Speaker 0: Without For what it's worth, yes. If you are residing in America, if you are seeking citizenship or some type of asylum status here in The United States legally, you should learn English, or you should already have a working knowledge of English. I think that that is pretty straightforward. It's not racist. It's not an inappropriate question.
And what's so mind boggling about this situation in Minnesota is so many of these Somalians do not speak the English language, but how were they able to accomplish such a massive amount of fraud? That's the question that people need
Speaker 2: to
Speaker 0: be asking.
