I get that it’s funny from the outside, just weird to even joke about as a doctor. The girl was so embarrassed. I made sure to document it in such a way that it wasn’t obvious what happened unless you read my note in detail.

All joking aside, it’s baffling to me that there could be confusion over whether an object like that was stuck in there.

I did the civil version of my military service time as what in the US would be considered an EMT. One day our ambulance was called to a nice hotel, and the receptionist came out and explained that something happened during “some play” and a ~20cm long piece of wood was stuck up a guest’s butt. The patient came out shortly after, he turned out to be a Frenchman in his 70’s, accompanied by his lover in his 40’s. We got him to the next hospital; I drove and my colleague stayed with him in the back because his French was better (only funny in German). As he didn’t have German healthcare he had to pay for the transport himself, and his lover gave me the ~500€ in today’s money from a big roll of cash in his pocket. We later heard that they had to remove it surgically.

Younger voice, much less emotional inflection to everything, less (zero) pauses. Suze actually sounds super-riled up compared to the woman I heard.

It might be Rachel Cruze:

I feel like I still hear way more pauses and emotional inflection in this. But maybe I’m just looking at her face. If I close my eyes, I think it might be her.

This might be the one I heard where it was just a man and a woman talking for an hour:

Is there anyone who can give me a brief summary of this Somali daycare “scandal”? It appears the right fever swamp has latched onto it, so I assume it’s bullshit?

I felt while watching that she has a lot of his mannerisms. Guess that makes sense

From reddit:

“Answer: YouTuber Nick Shirley posted an exposé on Youtube in which he claims to have found numerous fake childcare centers in Minnesota that are being used as a front by Somali immigrants to steal welfare money to the tune of millions of dollars.

The video includes him visiting childcare centers that he claims have received millions of dollars worth of government money, and he claims they are closed and have no children present.

The FBI is starting an investigation, and right-wing media is using this to actively attack Minnesota governor and former Democratic VP pick Tim ~~Waltz~~ Walz.

The left-wing media has been entirely silent on this so far, while as far as I can tell none of Shirley’s claims have been independently verified.

His visits to these closed childcare centers could very easily have been staged, visiting centers already closed down (According to locals one of the sites visited was apparently in the process of being turned into a restaurant), or timed to coincide with the Christmas holidays when these locations could have been closed anyway. The timing of the release of the video on the 26th is probably not a coincidence. Previous footage of him interviewing people and harassing childcare sites could have been combined with key shots of closed childcare centers filmed during the Christmas break.

*EDIT: As others have pointed out it’s not like a childcare center would randomly let in a film crew uninvited and let them film children under their care without permission. Particularly when he’s actively harassing people and asking them point blank about how much fraud they are committing at the moment.*

He claims they were filmed on a weekday, which technically wouldn’t be a lie if they were filmed on the 25th (a Thursday).

The person he interviews regarding the investigation is identified only as ‘David’ and no background or details is given on him what-so-ever that could be verified, leading me to believe he’s just some nut.

It’s also probably not a coincidence that this report was released while the Somali population in Minnesota has been under a microscope by the Right in the media lately. While Trump acolyte Mike Lindell (MyPillow guy) just won a primary in that State to go against Tim Walz for governor in 2026.

Either this is indeed a massive scandal uncovered by an independent journalist, or possibly just a minor one deliberately blown out of proportion because it suits the right-wing narrative of attacking immigrant groups and claiming massive welfare fraud. Targeting one of Trump’s key political opponents (Tim ~~Waltz~~ Walz) may just be a bonus.

Nick Shirley is pro-Trump influencer. His Youtube page is full of videos of him supporting ICE raids, anti-socialist videos, and selected interviews of people at rallies. Typical right-wing influencer stuff.

There was some fraud uncovered recently by fbi and charged I believe for welfare abuse by Somalis. However in typical right fashion it’s been extrapolated to be 100 times the size of that and all Somalis in MN participating.

Vance apparently retweeted a video in last couple of days where some YouTube clown and some random old white guy from Minneapolis with with cameras went to random daycares in the area that had received govt money in the last few years, didn’t see kids outside and basically knocked on the doors and demanded to know “where are the kids” obviously got told to fuck off and just went around claiming that was clear evidence of millions of fraud, even included them going to a medical plaza and saying it was super weird for a bunch of medical businesses to be housed in one building, just really dumb shit.

Vance apparently tweeted it saying it was better work than Pulitzer Prize winning work.

Edit: damn better description above, it’s like a level below veritas even
