18 min

Tim discusses reports of Medicaid/Medicare fraud tied to Minnesota's Somali community and alleged al-Shabaab links, then expands into a long argument that mass immigration serves the asset-owning class, cites his aunt's doctor-from-Pakistan comment, and connects it to Pam Bondi's extremist watchlist and past predictions about backlash over gender ideology in schools.
