00:00A bombshell viral video purports to have cracked open a crucial part of the alleged Somali aid
00:06scheme in Minnesota, as federal investigators say as much as $9 billion could have been stolen
00:11in fraudulent schemes within the state. The aftermath has since garnered intense backlash
00:16aimed at state leadership, with Minnesota Governor Tim Walz desperately defending himself
00:21against ever-growing allegations. Here's everything you need to know. On December 26th,
00:27YouTuber Nick Shirley shared a 42-minute video of himself and a Minnesotan named David traveling
00:33around Minneapolis and visiting multiple child care and learning sites allegedly owned by
00:39Somali immigrants and receiving millions in taxpayer dollars.
00:431.604 million in fiscal year 2025. This place right here.
00:51However, the pair discovered that many were either shuttered entirely with blacked-out windows,
00:56despite signage indicating they were open, or were helmed by staff who refused to participate
01:02in the video.
01:03Can I speak to a manager?
01:06Most of the sites, which claim to be licensed for dozens of children each, had no children
01:12inside whatsoever.
01:13Can you tell us why there are no children? Have you ever seen children at this child care
01:18center?
01:19Can I shoot? I don't know.
01:20Doesn't know if she's ever seen a child here.
01:22One infamous location called Quality Learning Center, which displays a misspelled sign reading
01:29Quality Leering Center, also features blacked-out windows. The center is supposed to account
01:34for 99 children. However, a local resident of eight years revealed he's never seen a child
01:40go in or out of the building.
01:42Where are the children?
01:43I don't see them. I've been here since 2017. I haven't seen anybody like that here.
01:47Never seen a child here?
01:48Nope.
