Can you name some NGOs that have received significant funding but haven't used it to protect children? Catholic Charities, Lutheran Family Services, and Jewish Family Services were mentioned. I spoke with someone from DHS who handles electronic fund transfers. He revealed that he oversees Jewish Family Services and recently issued a check for $600 million. When I asked if that was for three years, he clarified that it was actually for just two to three months and is renewable.

I looked into Norm Eisen's NGO, State United Democracies Center, which is full of prominent figures. This organization receives $17 million in private donations. After researching, the only thing I could find that they did with the money was produce a low-quality Muppet show. All the videos they created with these knockoff puppets have less than 200 views. It makes you wonder, with all those famous names involved, is that the best thing they could do with $17 million? The result is awful; Jim Henson would be rolling in his grave. They didn't even promote the videos with ads. So, where did the $17 million go?

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.

Official A states that in 2022, the office found that president Biden's DHS allowed some Afghans into the country before they were fully vetted, including one who had been liberated from prison by the Taliban. Official A notes that over 50 known or suspected terrorists had entered the United States as a result of Biden administration screening or lack thereof, and that last month the director of national intelligence said that 2,000 Afghans in America may have ties to terrorism. Official A asks whether a formal vetting process was in place, and asserts that the department did not have a formal process at the start of the OAW. Official A repeats the figure and corrects it to 36,000, calling it astounding. Official B replies that CARE, the Council on American-Islamic Relations, is the organization in question, stating that CARE was founded at a 1993 meeting and that they specifically state they are going to present themselves as a legitimate civil rights organization while furthering the mission of Hamas. Official A asks how much money CARE received from the federal government to shepherd Afghan parolees. Official B responds that CARE received $15,000,000 in California and more than $1,000,000 in Washington. Official A adds that when they check federal databases for CARE, they find nothing, and Official B explains that the money did not go directly from the federal government to CARE, but rather through an intermediary, and that this is how they’ve hidden the money. Official A states, “We need to find out where this money has gone. This is a scandal. This is corruption, and we've gotta figure out how taxpayer money has ended up in the hands of yet another organization terrorized.”

Prosecutors have identified billions in Medicaid fraud across 14 programs, and researchers have now found a fifteenth area: assisted living. In Minnesota, the assisted living program is expanding faster than other programs, with payments rising 10 to 15 times as fast. Data on area facilities show Minneapolis has 169, Saint Paul has 83 (population 307,000), Brooklyn Center has 106 (pop. ~30,000), and Brooklyn Park has 181 (pop. ~84,000), highlighting a higher concentration of facilities in smaller cities. The assisted living facility in question is housed in what appears to be a single-family home, yet it bills itself as an assisted living facility and receives substantial state funding. The facility is owned by Gandhi Mohammad, now Gandhi Abdi Qadai, through his LLC, and his wife runs the assisted living services. The state continues to pay while he awaits trial. The report notes that this man was indicted in the Feeding Our Future scam, which involved false billing, and asks why he is still receiving state funds through these facilities. Speakers discuss whether Feeding Our Future indictments should trigger a cross-check to prevent individuals involved in that scheme from receiving other state funds. One speaker asks, “Do you know the Feeding Our Future scandal?” and notes the lack of awareness among people being interviewed. It is stated that the man who owns the building was indicted in Feeding Our Future, and that his shell company was used to purchase a new assisted living facility property, with his wife operating the service provider side. The facility received over 2,300,000 in state money last year, and a Minnesota reformer article claims the person has been paid 49,000,000 since 2016. The interviewees question how it is possible that someone indicted in Feeding Our Future is still collecting checks from the state through these assisted living centers run by his wife. State Representative Kristen Robbins, chair of the House Fraud and Oversight Committee, expresses concern that basic due diligence was not performed to cross-check Feeding Our Future defendants against other state funding. The parties reached out to the man and his wife but have not heard back. They also contacted the Department of Human Services, which stated that they cannot cut funding from this person because he is “simply a landlord,” with his wife running the service provider arm of the facilities. The department’s position is described as passing the buck.

This is a green slush fund. The Biden administration parked $20 billion in an outside bank, giving it to eight NGOs, many created just to get this money. The EPA entered into an agreement with these entities, designed to tie the government's hands, so we don't know where the money is going. Only about 5% actually goes towards the environment. One CEO, serving on the White House Environmental Justice Council, received $20 million. Account control agreements were amended to reduce EPA oversight. The Justice Department and FBI are working with us, and we must ensure accountability. There should be zero tolerance for wasted money.

Speaker 0: Massive fraud is going on here in the state of Minnesota, especially in Minneapolis. Explain to me what's going on with the day cares. Speaker 1: One of the things I've noticed is there’s an exceptional number of childcare centers set up mostly in Minneapolis, but also in Saint Paul. I wondered how many kids are there in the Twin Cities. I visited facilities near my office and saw there aren’t any kids there. I’d go to another one and there aren’t any kids there either. I spoke with someone outside who said, “We’re all full,” yet when I looked inside the door was open and there was a couch and a table with a couple chairs and no kids. I asked if the kids were outside playing or what kind of place this was, and the staffer said, “You go,” and followed me down the street to my car. That made me think something was going on, and this was maybe five years ago. Speaker 1: This fraud is so massive. When the dust settles on this, it’s going to be found to be the largest fraud in the history of the country and probably the world. The ones I’ve gotten data on average about $2,500,000 a year, and a lot of them will say they have anywhere from 80 to 120 children. Speaker 1: I’ve been to literally 40 or 50 of these childcare centers, and there never has been a single child at any one of them ever. Morning, afternoon, evening. Some say they’re open till 10:00 at night. I go there in the morning, I go there in the afternoon, I go there at 9:00 at night. Nobody. There are no kids there ever.

The transcript presents a long-form exposé-style investigation into what the speakers describe as widespread fraud in California’s caregiving sectors, focusing on hospice, home health care, and daycares, with emphasis on Los Angeles and Van Nuys. - Opening claim and context: - Speaker 0 asks why there is a thousand percent increase in hospice care in Los Angeles and whether paperwork exists to enroll a child named Joey. They claim California has the largest fraud risk, with Medi-Cal spending rising from 2022 to 2026 (from $108 billion to a proposed $222 billion) while population growth hasn’t matched spending growth. They allege “one out of every $10 of home health care in America is spent in Los Angeles.” They argue government-funded daycare programs are “filled with violations,” and that fraud could be “hundreds of billions of dollars.” - Daycare fraud focus: - The video claims daycares are used to receive government money (CalWORKS) by enrolling children on paper while not having real enrollments. They show various locations and describe conditions as suspicious or unsafe (graffiti, boarded-up buildings, dumpsters, a homeless person near a daycare). - Medina Learning Center is described as “now enrolling,” with “as their backup facility, the UMI Learning Center,” which was “convicted in federal court in 2024 of having a 150 ghost kids.” They seek paperwork to enroll a child named Joey. - Hayden Sarah Family Child Care is described as having “14 children enrolled” per state records but “zero present” when inspectors arrived; the facility roster and missing children records are cited as violations. - Jama Shukri Family Childcare is described as a daycare located in an apartment building (one-bedroom, eight capacity) with two children outside and no adult visible, raising concerns about supervision. - The video notes California allocates $6 billion to childcare, “over 39,000 facilities,” with a state audit error rate of 1.6%, and conservative estimates suggest “upwards of a $100,000,000 in fraud lost each and every single year.” - A recurring theme is “shell registrations” and unregistered CMS (Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services) entities; seven of the four entities shown have “zero SMS data,” implying shell companies or fraud networks possibly connected to Armenian/Russian gangs. - Hospice and home health care fraud focus: - The group shifts to Van Nuys, California, claiming “home health care and hospice fraud” is pervasive there; they assert “one out of every $10 that goes towards home health care in the United States goes to a business here in LA.” They visit numerous hospice centers in a single plaza, naming Gardens of Angels Hospice and Blossom Hospice as examples of high billing with few services performed (e.g., Gardens of Angels: “billed $4,800,000 per beneficiary,” “$5,807 per claim,” 28.6 claims per patient, only two codes). Blossom Hospice is described as “$3,400,000” billed with “$927 per claim,” again with only one code and minimal services. - They claim “seven of the four entities have zero SMS data” and label some facilities as shell registrations; some locations appear “registering for hospice but not actually providing care,” with claims of “shell buildings” or storefronts that are empty or only used for billing. - The video notes the presence of luxury cars at these sites (Mercedes, Teslas, BMWs, a Cybertruck) and references a pattern of wealthy vehicles associated with hospice sites, suggesting profits from taxpayers’ dollars. - Miracle Healing Hospice is described as having billed $1,300,000 in 2023 with 38 beneficiaries: “$32,000 per beneficiary,” but the location was reported as an empty building when visited. - The presenters also describe finding a location that “received $19,000,000” over the past years for Healthy Life Adult Daycare, yet the building appears dilapidated and shows no adults present during visits. Phone lines and mailboxes are reported as failing to provide information or contacts. - Interviews and expert commentary: - A professional in the medical industry is interviewed to explain how fraud could occur: someone could obtain a Medicare number and use it to bill Medicare for hospice services; fraudsters reportedly can open a hospice license without being a physician, then bill the system and receive payments quickly. - The interview suggests Medicare numbers can be stolen or purchased; the speaker emphasizes that “anybody can get a hospice license,” and that the process enables easy billings to Medicare/Medicaid. - A participant describes a trend of these facilities opening and billing, with the implication that people exploit the system for swift returns. - Overall framing and conclusions presented: - The speakers argue that there is a thousand percent increase in hospice openings in California, a surge in fraudulent activity across daycares and hospice/hom e health facilities, and that tax dollars are funding these entities with little-to-no accountability. They juxtapose luxury cars and upscale appearances with empty or non-operational facilities to illustrate alleged misappropriation of funds. They advocate scrutiny, data-backed investigation, and accountability for what they describe as widespread fraud affecting taxpayers and vulnerable populations. - Closing sentiments: - The narrative closes with a call to action against fraud, emphasizing the impact on ordinary Americans who face rising costs and debt, and claiming that exposing fraud is essential to protecting taxpayer dollars and national financial health.

Catholic Charities USA, the thirteenth largest US charity, received $1.4 billion in government support out of its $4.7 billion in revenues. Joe Rossi, a devout Catholic, is demanding an independent investigation into where this money went, alleging the organization was incentivized to quickly move children who entered the US illegally through Biden's open border into the care of any adult. Rossi claims that background checks and ID requirements for adult caregivers were waived to expedite placement. According to Rossi, an HHS employee said they prioritized avoiding lawsuits for border backups over potential trafficking risks. Rossi's communications with San Antonio Catholic Charities led him to believe that there was a very relaxed process, with no vetting being done. Rossi is calling for accountability for those involved in this "human trafficking nightmare" and reform within the Catholic Church.

The speaker asserts that fraud has been legalized and concealed through unethical behavior enabled by unethical legislation, effectively allowing the fraud to go unseen, untracked, and without accountability. The speaker highlights Nexus Family Healing, a nonprofit located in Plymouth, Minnesota, as an example. According to the speaker, Nexus Family Healing is a national nonprofit with an executive director earning well over $500,000 annually, who is awarded a $1,000,000 grant contract through Hennepin County. The speaker then alleges that this $1,000,000 grant morphs into a three-year $7,000,000 ongoing contract, and claims that nobody knows how or why this transformation occurs. The speaker notes that when Hennepin County workers approached Julie Blaha in the state auditor’s office with concerns, they were met with “complete radio silence.” The speaker contends that Julie Blaha refuses to take action. The claim is made that the state auditor’s office is currently opaque, with no visible duties, no responsibility, and no accountability arising from that office. The speaker adds that the office receives $8,000,000 in biannual funding, yet allegedly does nothing beyond purported TikTok dances. The overarching claim is that there needs to be someone in the state auditor’s office who actually takes responsibility for how taxpayer dollars are managed and accounted for. The speaker uses these points to argue that the current system enables undisclosed or unaddressed fraud through a combination of perceived legislative loopholes and a lack of oversight or action from the state auditor’s office. The narrative centers on alleged improper contracting and funding flows involving Nexus Family Healing, and the perceived non-responsiveness of Julie Blaha and the state auditor’s office in the face of county concerns about these matters.

It's the morning of March 15, and the report centers on a tip about a man leaving the country with a carry-on bag packed with a million dollars in cash. Sources say he just cleared security with that bag, and that such cloak-and-dagger scenarios now happen almost weekly at MSP International. The money is usually headed to the Middle East, Dubai, and beyond, with sources claiming that last year more than $100,000,000 in cash left MSP in carry-on luggage. The reporters say their main interest is where the money is going. The national go-to expert cited is Glenn Kearns, a former Seattle police detective who spent fifteen years on the FBI’s Joint Terrorism Task Force before retirement. Kearns is described as having tracked millions of dollars in cash leaving on flights from Seattle, money that came from hawalas—informal networks used to courier money to countries with little or no official banking system. Some immigrant communities rely on hawalas to send funds to relatives back home. Kearns discovered that some of the money was being funneled to a hawala in a region of Somalia controlled by the Al Shabaab terrorist group. The narrative then shifts to a claim that the money transfers are connected to welfare fraud, specifically day care-related fraud. The reporters note that to understand the link between day care fraud and the surge in carry-on cash, one must look at the history of the crime in Minnesota. Five years earlier, Fox 9 investigators reportedly first reported that day care fraud was rising in Minnesota, exposing how some businesses were gaming the system to steal millions in government subsidies meant to help low-income families with childcare expenses. The transcript explains the day care fraud scheme: centers sign up low-income families that qualify for child care assistance funding. Surveillance videos from a case prosecuted by Hennepin County show parents checking their kids into a center only to leave with them a few minutes later, or sometimes with no children at all. In any case, the center would bill the state for a full day of childcare. The report highlights this as a significant mechanism by which funds were diverted, tying it to larger issues of cash being moved internationally via hawalas and used to support illicit networks.

The shocking part of investigating government-funded NGOs is that small decisions lead to massive, multi-billion dollar outcomes. I saw one instance of $1.9 billion being sent to an NGO that was formed a year prior and had no prior activity. Government-funded NGOs are essentially a loophole, allowing actions that would be illegal for the government directly but become permissible through nonprofits. These nonprofits are then used for personal enrichment, with individuals cashing out and paying themselves exorbitant sums. It's a giant scam where people can establish an NGO for a relatively small investment and then lobby politicians to funnel vast sums of money into it. There might be some good that comes from them, maybe 5 or 10%, but the rest is not.

Secretary: Today, we are announcing that we have stopped all grant funding that's being abused by NGOs to facilitate illegal immigration into this country. It's amazing to me the hundreds of millions of dollars that have been spent by the federal government that has been sent to NGOs to facilitate this invasion of our country. I have taken action to stop that funding, to reevaluate it, and to make sure that we're actually using taxpayer dollars in a way that strengthens this country and keeps us safe. People are curious how grants given out by federal agencies are utilized, and that evaluation needs to be done. We're not spending another dime to help the destruction of this country. We're going to follow through on what president Trump promised, to secure our border, depart those who are here illegally and committing criminal actions, and ensure taxpayer dollars aren't spent to assist it. Speaker: And, Madam Secretary, I don't think people fully understand the role that NGOs play in facilitating illegal immigration. I want to share these numbers up on the screen: we spend over $380,000,000 in 2024 for sheltering and service programs for illegal immigrants. But the vast network of NGOs that help facilitate it through Panama, through Mexico, and make it a landing spot here in the United States is a massive contributor to illegal immigration. So what you're telling us today is that now stops? At least the federal funding of that stops? Secretary: Yes. The Department of Homeland Security has stopped spending those dollars to fund those NGOs. What’s been revealing is that many of these NGOs actually have infrastructure and operations set up in Mexico on that side of the border, telling illegal immigrants to come to them, and they will get them across the border. So they're not just operating in the United States. They're operating outside of the United States to help make it easier for those who want to break our laws. And while I was one of those Americans years ago when somebody said NGO to me, I thought, oh, that's amazing—a nonprofit telling somebody about Jesus or spreading faith and charitable work, helping people less fortunate. Then I realized over the years it's been perverted into this shadow government. An NGO is sometimes an operation that does things the government cannot do, can't legally do, so they create an entity to use government dollars, taxpayer dollars, to do something that the federal government isn't allowed to do—to perform a shadow government operation that has recently been used to undermine our country's national security.
