Members of Congress are confronting private security blocking their access to the Department of Education. They question whether the security personnel were instructed to prevent them from entering. The Congress members emphasize their roles as elected representatives advocating for children, particularly those with disabilities, and express frustration over the lack of transparency and access. They highlight the contradiction of allowing billionaires into the building while denying entry to lawmakers. The situation escalates as they assert their right to advocate for the public and demand accountability from those in charge. The Congress members stress that they are not a threat and are simply trying to fulfill their responsibilities.

We're members of Congress, here at the Department of Education, and we're being denied entry. The doors are locked, and a private security contractor is blocking our access. We showed our IDs; this is our job, and we have oversight responsibilities. We're not a threat; we're trying to request a meeting. This lack of transparency is unacceptable. The administration claims to be open, yet they won't even let us into their own building. This isn't right; we represent the people, and we demand access. They've even called Homeland Security. This building is a public institution; we pay for this building and its employees. This contractor, who isn't even a federal employee, is blocking us without a good reason. This is outrageous.

A documentary-style investigation in Minnesota accuses widespread government-funded fraud across childcare, elder care, and health care services, alleging that hundreds of millions (potentially billions) of taxpayer dollars were funneled to fraudulent businesses, many run by Somali-owned entities, with insufficient or no evidence of actual children or patients being served. Key figures and setup - David: An investigator whose office is in Minneapolis, claiming firsthand exposure to fraud. He frames the problem as deeply entrenched, involving billions of dollars and potentially ties to terrorist groups abroad. - Nick Shirley: The presenter and filmmaker, documenting the investigation, confronting daycare centers, health care providers, and government officials. Main fraud allegations and examples - Childcare and early learning centers: - Multiple Minneapolis daycares listed at the same addresses, licensed for large capacities (e.g., 120 children) but with no children present in long-running site visits. - Examples include Mako Childcare and Mini Childcare Center: combined licensing for 120 children, but vans never moving and no children observed over repeated visits; fiscal year payments ranged from about 714,000 to over 1.6 million dollars for the two centers in various years. - ABC Learning Center and other nearby facilities: windows blocked out, doors locked, no children observed despite licensing for dozens or hundreds of children; payments in the hundreds of thousands to millions per year. - Sweet Angel Childcare and others: similar patterns—license capacity reported, payments received, but no children seen; in one case, ongoing operation with no obvious play area or evidence of childcare. - The video notes cases where two daycares share addresses or switch names (e.g., Creative Minds Daycare reopens as Super Kids Daycare Center) yet continue to receive state funding, suggesting “fraudulent” billing. - Some locations claimed to be open long hours and to serve many children, yet on-site visits found no children, locked doors, or hostile responses when questioned. In one instance, a staffer refused to discuss the operation or provide paperwork. - Specific sums cited include ownership of facilities with payments like 1.26 million, 987 thousand, 714 thousand, 1.6 million, 1.3 million, 1.0–1.6 million in various fiscal years, totaling near several millions per site and aggregating toward millions across multiple centers. - Home health care and other services: - A building housing 14 Somali-owned home health care companies under many different names, all operating from the same location, raising concerns about service provision and billing. - A broader claim that in Minnesota, 14–22 Somali health care businesses at the same address are part of the same ecosystem; government money (state and federal CCAP funding) is disbursed to these entities, with a perception that services may not be rendered as billed. - A separate building contains numerous health care providers; the interviewee asserts that 50–60 million dollars per year could be fraudulently routed through this single building. - Overall scale and claims: - David asserts the fraud is “far worse than anybody can imagine” with estimates initially as high as 7 to 10 billion, later revised publicly to around 8 billion; in total, a major portion of the state budget is implicated. - A central claim is that funds from CCAP (a blend of federal and state money, taxpayer money) are written as checks to providers who may not deliver corresponding services; the state’s checks are allegedly not effectively cross-checked for actual service provision. - Political and procedural dimensions: - The investigation contends that Minnesota governor Tim Walz is responsible for allowing or failing to curb fraud, describing the state as “ground zero” for the issue and criticizing political and procedural inaction. - The documentary frames fraud as nonpartisan, noting Medicaid fraud occurs across parties and administrations nationwide, but then presents a partisan friction as they confront lawmakers at a state Capitol hearing. - At the Capitol hearing, Republicans and Democrats discuss fraud, with some speakers asserting the problem is nonpartisan and rooted in systemic issues across administrations, while others push to hold specific leaders accountable and emphasize the need for transparency and enforcement. Confrontations and outcomes - The team encounters resistance and hostility at several sites, including doors locked, hostile staff, and in one instance, a confrontation resulting in police involvement at a building housing healthcare providers. - The investigators claim to have faced intimidation and even threats; they describe instances of violence toward them for asking questions about child and elder care fraud. - The film documents a tense, complex landscape of allegations, aiming to connect misallocated funds to non-delivered services, with ongoing investigations, raids, and political debate as the state capital becomes a focal point for accountability discussions.

The exchange centers on a confrontation in a public/Louisiana parish building during a first amendment audit conducted by Justin (Speaker 0). Justin explains that he entered a public area and was subjected to aggressive behavior from a man who grabbed his belongings, attempted a headlock, and threw Justin’s phone. Justin asserts that this occurred in front of a deputy, who did not intervene. He claims the man (Ellis Booth) took his phone, assaulted him, and tossed it across the parking lot, while the deputy “did nothing.” Justin emphasizes that he was having a polite conversation when Booth acted aggressively, grabbed his property, and threw his phone multiple times. He argues that if he had done any of these actions, he would be in cuffs, and he questions why Booth has not been arrested. He challenges the deputy’s handling of the incident, insisting that the deputy witnessed the events and should have acted. He also claims the deputy’s inaction contradicts the duty to protect the public and enforce the law, noting he has a large social media following and intends to publicize what he perceives as misconduct. The dialogue includes several attempts to obtain formal statements and to follow proper procedure. Justin asks for a statement from the deputy who witnessed the incident, and for access to video footage (body cam) and other evidence. He asserts that the deputy’s eyewitness account should be sufficient to pursue charges, and he questions why extra steps or warrants are being pursued if the deputy clearly witnessed the events. He also mentions he has filed a Freedom of Information Act request for the body cam footage. Speaker 4, Detective Adams of the Cattle Parish Sheriff’s Office, enters the conversation and tries to mediate. He explains that a new process is necessary: a written statement and a signed affidavit from Justin before any warrants or arrests can proceed, since there is no direct on-site arrest of Booth by the acting officer. Detective Adams clarifies that if a judge signs a warrant based on the deputy’s statements and Justin’s signed affidavit, Booth could be arrested. He notes that the deputy did not witness the exact moment of the phone being thrown in Justin’s hands, but did witness the assault and the destruction of property. He emphasizes following chain-of-command and needing a judge’s warrant to proceed. The discussion includes comparisons of how officers would be treated if the roles were reversed. Justin argues that the officer’s standards should be the same regardless of whether the person is a private citizen or a Homeland Security employee. Detective Adams explains that the Homeland Security director (Beeson) was not present to arrest on-site and that Booth’s arrest is tied to the body camera and the deputy’s written report. The exchange touches on past incidents, including a controversial encounter involving a black officer and other officers, which Detective Adams says he plans to address separately with superiors. Towards the end, it is confirmed that Booth was arrested previously (yesterday) for simple battery and criminal damage to private property, but the battery charge was kept separate from the damage charge after Justin notes his phone’s condition. Booth bonded out at $1,255 cash and would have a court date set by the district attorney. The district attorney asks Justin to forward any video and his written statement. Detective Adams states he will present the materials to a judge, and if a warrant is signed, Booth will be arrested. Beeson is identified as the online security director who previously attended the incident, and there is a discussion about obtaining more video and verifying all witnesses’ statements. In sum, the transcript captures Justin’s allegation of police inaction during a visible assault and property destruction, the procedural requirement for statements and affidavits to pursue warrants, and the subsequent administrative steps that led to Booth’s prior arrest and ongoing cooperation with the district attorney’s office.

Jason introduces himself as Jason We The People, living at 1776 Boulevard in Freedom City, Michigan. He asserts a confrontation with the city council, insisting his name and address are his Fifth Amendment/constitutional rights and quips that the council’s bylaws cannot trump constitutional rights. He proclaims he doesn’t have to share information and suggests he could sue the city under 42 USC 1983, using it as his middle name in a combative line of defense. He discusses the Fifth Amendment takings clause, claiming it pertains to public use and argues that a data center is not public use, stating it should be a park or an old folks home instead. He asserts the takings clause is not complicated and urges the council to understand it. Jason attacks the council’s loyalty, asking how it feels to be a Benedict Arnold to the people and notes that no one supports the data center. He asks for those who do not support the data center and inquires about any questions from the attendees, claiming that Ray Charles and Stevie Wonder can see the issue. He questions remedies for forever chemicals and accuses the council of poisoning the land, suggesting foreign money might be involved and referencing Whittler being in trouble over that. He calls for FOIA requests to obtain every nondisclosure agreement from any council member, mayor, or city official, arguing that while the contents may be hidden, the existence of these NDAs would be revealed, creating potential conflicts of interest. Jason then asks about who is coming in to install underground generators, noting that large power lines are being installed and implying that a decision has already been made. He closes by presenting a list-like summary of “your people” and wishing them well, signaling a confrontational stance toward the city’s decisions about the data center.

The exchange centers on filming rights and the status of the location. Speaker 0 challenges whether they are allowed to film, asking, “Oh, turn off the camera? Yeah. Do I not have a right to have the camera? I’m not giving you permission to check my face.” They then inquire about authority, asking, “Are you a public servant? Or United Nations against the city. Okay. Does because this is my city, and so I have a right to film.” This line underscores Speaker 0’s insistence on their right to record within the space, coupled with a demand for clarity about the other party’s authority to restrict that right. Speaker 1 responds by questioning the premise of the filmed area, asking, “This is United Nations compound?” and clarifies the location’s status by confirming whether it is a compound. The conversation shifts to the status and sovereignty of the area, with Speaker 1 asserting control and jurisdiction over the space in question. A pivotal point in the dialogue arises when Speaker 1 provides a long claim about the compound’s ownership and territorial status. They state, “Since Sunday evening, we took over this compound. This is international territory.” They further elaborate the contrasting jurisdictions, stating, “When you step outside, it’s US. Here is international territory.” This statement frames the location as international territory within the compound, implying a distinct legal or political status compared to the surrounding area. Overall, the interaction is a brief confrontation over visual documentation and the governing authority of the space. Speaker 0 emphasizes the right to film and presses for clarity on who can permit or deny that right, while Speaker 1 asserts that the space is an international territory under their control since Sunday evening, differentiating it from the surrounding US jurisdiction. The dialogue highlights tensions between individual or press rights to film and a claimed change in sovereignty or control of a contested compound.

What's happening at this hotel? Reports indicate that individuals have been filming children at a nearby primary school. Don't touch me; I'm just trying to understand the situation. You're pushing me away, but I need answers. This is unacceptable. Illegals have been filming children here. Why are you preventing me from getting information? It's ironic that you're calling the police on me when there are serious allegations about people filming children just up the road. You have no evidence? There is evidence. Where is it? The community deserves answers about what's going on with the children.

We are members of Congress here to meet with the acting secretary. We notified her in advance. You're denying us entry. What authority do you have to prevent members of Congress from fulfilling their oversight role? You claim we need an appointment or to be on a guest list. That's not how it's always been. Ninety-four members of Congress signed a letter requesting a meeting to ask a simple question. Your claim that she's unaware of the meeting is unacceptable. We should be allowed access to the Department of Education. We'll proceed to the visitors' entrance.

Members of Congress are being denied entry to the Department of Education building. The doors are locked, and a tense conversation is taking place with a security guard.

We're simply doing our job. Show them your ID. Were you told to block us, or did you decide to do so? We have the right to access the building.

I was taking pictures of the building from the sidewalk when someone approached me, asking why I was taking pictures. He told me it was private property, government-owned by the CFPB, and that I wasn't allowed to take pictures inside the property. I pointed out that I was outside, on the sidewalk. He said I couldn't take pictures from the sidewalk into the building because he didn't want to be in my footage. I asserted my right to record from a public sidewalk and asked if he was going to call the police. He didn't answer, but said I wasn't allowed to record the building. I asked who told him that, and he claimed it was government rules. I questioned whether he was sure about that, and also asked if they took down the CFPB signs, since the building is all glass.

I'm heading to Batcave, where I started a hub at the post office. After bringing in the West Virginia boys to cut a road to Chimney Rock, local government has now installed gates blocking access to that road and properties. This is frustrating because residents need access to their homes and supplies. It’s infuriating that while they can come to block access, they ignore the community's needs. The West Virginia boys worked tirelessly to open this area, and now bureaucrats, who had nothing to do with the road's creation, come in to put up gates. Their arrogance is astounding; they clearly don't care about the people here.
