What this episode covers

Transcript Charlie James: Somebody said, uh, said, "Charlie, I, uh, I don't know why everybody's getting so upset over these FLOCK cameras. You have a surveillance device in your pocket." Yes, you're right. I do. And you know what? I can take that surveillance device out of my pocket. You see, my phone is an option. My phone is my option. I can turn it off, I can turn off the network, I can take the SIM card out, I can take the battery out, I can leave it at home. You see, that's that's my choice. The moment I get in my car and leave my driveway, well, my neighborhood, I'm probably on some form of surveillance camera. Not real crazy about that. And it's got my license plate and it's tracking every little place I go. You see? It's the difference between choice, your choice, and the government's choice. You see, they want to survey us, but notice how they don't really keep track of the bad guys out there. I'll give you a perfect example. In Minnesota, they actually have an award that they give out. Oh yes, they have an award. It is called the Outstanding Refugee Award. Now, this is Minnesota, you got to remember Tim Walz, all of that fraud, Ilhan Omar, the, uh, the, uh, the Loring Center, all of those, remember that? So, they, they gave this guy, Salmon Elmi, the Outstanding Refugee Award. Why did they give Salmon Elmi an Outstanding Refugee Award? Well, because Salmon Elmi was a, he was an entrepreneur. That's right. This boy, this guy, he had the old get-up-and-go about him. He was, "Yo, man," he worked hard, he had started his own business. You know what that business was? Stealing taxpayer money. That's what Salmon Elmi's business was. The business that he got—that he got the Outstanding Refugee Award for, back in 2021. He stole, he defrauded Medicare with the help of a sex trafficking ring to the tune of $1 million. And there he was with his award. That's a proud fellow right there. Proud, proud fellow. Pretty amazing, but not surprising. Amazing does not equal surprising. In Pennsylvania, they have awarded $5 million—with a "m"—$5 million to a terrorist-linked Islamic school whose goal, whose mission, is to impose Islam on the world. Notice they didn't say spread Islam throughout the world; they wanted to impose—and this is a quote, this is a quote from the school—they want to impose Islam on the world, and they called America toxic. Yeah, pretty amazing. Students study Sharia jurisprudence and are told to spread Islam's message to Americans. The taxpayer-backed academy called for an Islamic worldview, preparing students to spread Islam to fellow Americans, and currently advertises instruction in Fiqh, the jurisprudence used to, um, elaborate Sharia. Pennsylvania awarded $5 million in taxpayer-backed funding to expand a private Islamic school whose own handbook declared our—listen, their handbook says, quote, that our culture, American culture, is toxic to Muslims. They warned families against outside cultural influences and explicitly instructed students to develop an Islamic worldview and spread Islam's message to other Americans. The school's parent Islamic society was, uh, attended by men later convicted in the Fort Dix terror plot and hosted a guest Imam who preached that if Muslims possess sufficient faith, they would impose the world of Islam upon the world—the word of Islam on the world. The Commonwealth of Pennsylvania records identify the project without euphemism: Al-Aqsa School Expansion. That's pretty amazing. That is nuts. State Senator Nikil Saval's office confirmed the $5 million award to Al-Aqsa's Islamic Society, specifying that the money would expand the existing school with additional classrooms, a gymnasium, and shared community spaces, because if you want to do one thing, get a whole bunch of Islamists out there doing some training on some monkey bars. Why don't you go ahead and buy them some Toyota Hilux trucks while you're at it? Lord knows what they love to do with those things. That's ...
