Dell's $6.25B Investment in Kids, Walz's Billion-Dollar Fraud & Hegseth War Crime Hoax

00:09
Hey, what is up, Patriots? And happy hump day. This is O'Connor's Quick Strike and I'm John O'Connor. Three stories the mainstream media won't cover or will completely twist beyond recognition delivered in roughly 15 minutes or so. No fluff, no BS, no filler, just the unvarnished truth peppered with my own take on what's really going on. And we do this every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday. As always, if you haven't already,

Go ahead and just gently tap that like, subscribe, and or follow button. Every single one of your gentle taps helps get our message out there to more folks who need to hear it. Today is Wednesday, December 3rd, and I've got three stories that perfectly illustrate where we are as a country. We are leading with an actual win. Michael and Susan Dell just pledged $6.25 billion to invest in American kids through Trump accounts.

01:04
Then we're diving into Tim Wall's billion-dollar fraud disaster in Minnesota, where whistleblowers are finally exposing what he knew and when he chose to look the other way. And we are closing with the Washington Post's attempt to destroy Pete Hegseth with a war crime accusation that the New York Times just thoroughly dismantled with actual journalism. Let's get into it. Yesterday at the White House, Michael and Susan Dell think

01:33
Dell computers, announced that they are pledging $6.25 billion to create investment accounts for 25 million American children. The media barely covered it because apparently good news under Trump doesn't sell clicks. Here's how this works. Back in July, Trump signed the One Big Beautiful Bill Act, creating Trump accounts. The federal government puts in $1,000 for every baby born between 2025

02:02
and 2028. Parents can contribute up to $5,000 annually. Employers can ship in $2,500 tax-free for the family. The money gets invested in S &P 500 index funds, locked in until the age of 18. Then they use it for college, homes, businesses, wealth building, whatever they need. Well, the DELS saw a problem. What about kids already here?

02:31
10 and under, born before 2025. So they pledged $250 for each of those 25 million kids in zip codes where the median income is under $150,000, about 75 % of the country. Treasury Secretary Besant said that these accounts will make everyone a shareholder in the success of the U.S. economy. He's right. This teaches kids from birth that capitalism works

03:01
for them. Now the math, because compound interest is generally incredible. Start with just the government's $1,000 seed. No additional contributions. In an S &P 500 fund averaging 8 % returns over time, by 18, that's $4,000. By 30, over $10,000. By retirement at 65, $148,000.

03:29
Not bad for doing nothing. Now, Dell's $250 becomes $1,000 by 18 and $37,000 by retirement. But families who contribute see massive results. Maxed out at $5,000 annually from birth to 18, by graduation day, that account shows $191,000. After adjusting for inflation,

03:57
That's $134,000 in actual buying power. What that money can purchase in today's terms. A high school senior with $134,000 in real buying power. Fully paid college at most state schools. 20 % down on a house. Seed capital for a business. Actual generational wealth. Keep contributing after 18 as an IRA.

04:25
463,000 by the age of 28, nearly 7 million by 60. Even half contributions, 2,500 annually, yields 97,000 by 18, 68 grand after inflation. Michael Dell is quoted, children with accounts like this are much more likely to graduate high school and college, buy homes, start businesses, and less likely to be incarcerated.

04:54
Research backs that up. Kids with savings accounts have higher graduation rates, lower incarceration, better lifetime outcomes. They see a future worth saving for. Trump says he's talking to other billionaires about similar donations. We might be watching a movement where America's wealthiest directly invest in the next generation. No bureaucracy, no administrative bloat, just direct investment.

05:22
The Dells donation exceeds their entire lifetime charitable giving combined. This isn't welfare or dependency. These are investment accounts kids own. From day one, they learn capitalism works for them, that building wealth is possible, that America offers real opportunity. Sign up, start July 4th, 2026 at TrumpAccounts.gov. From Trump Building Wealth,

to Democrats destroying it. Tim Walz, Kamala's running mate, Minnesota Nice, the friendly Midwestern governor who'd bring balance to the ticket. Turns out he oversaw one of the largest fraud scandals in American history and actively retaliated against whistleblowers who tried to expose it. The New York Times published Saturday detailing how fraud has swamped Minnesota's social services system on Tim Walz's watch.

06:21
More than a billion dollars stolen through at least three schemes heavily involving Minnesota's Somali community. Of 86 people charged, 78 are of Somali descent. That's math, not racism. Feeding our future. Nonprofits claim that they fed tens of thousands of hungry kids, set up over 200 federal nutrition sites, submitted rosters, got reimbursed.

06:51
Except the kids didn't exist Meals never happened money went to luxury cars mansions overseas investments over 250 million just stolen 59 convicted so far then housing stability fraud billing for homeless services that never occurred or Autism therapy fraud billing for therapy sessions that never happened for kids who weren't even autistic total

07:21
over a billion dollars. And it gets worse. Federal counter-terrorism sources say some money was wired to Somalia, with portions ending up with Al-Shabaab, the Al-Qaeda-linked terror group that's killed Americans. Treasury Secretary Besson announced Monday his department is investigating whether Minnesota tax dollars funded terrorism. Walls' response on Meet the Press when Kristen Welker asked if he takes responsibility?

07:50
And I quote, Minnesota is a prosperous state and that attracts criminals, end quote. He blamed economic success for the fraud. Saturday, an ex-account claiming to represent 480 current Minnesota Department of Human Services employees posted, Tim Walls is 100 % responsible for massive fraud in Minnesota. We let Tim Walls know of fraud early on. We got the opposite response.

08:19
Tim Walls systematically retaliated against whistleblowers using monitoring threats, repression." That account was suspended for hours before being restored. Whistleblowers exposing billion-dollar fraud got censored. The Times interviewed Case A. Megan, a former fraud investigator who's Somali-American herself, from the AG's office. She said there's a clear perception that

08:47
Forcefully tackling this might cause political backlash among the Somali community, which is a core voting bloc for Democrats. Another prosecutor, a huge part of the problem is that the allegations of racism can be a reputation or career killer. They knew about the fraud, chose not to act, because they feared being called racist. So a billion dollars got stolen while they worried about optics. House Oversight Chairman Comer launched a

09:16
thorough investigation into Governor Wall's failure to safeguard taxpayer dollars. Treasury is investigating terror connections. Wall says he takes responsibility for putting people in jail. Except all prosecutions are federal. Minnesota's done nothing. All arrests and convictions are FBI and federal prosecutors. Not Wall's. A defense lawyer told the Times,

09:44
No one was doing anything about the red flags. It was like someone was stealing money from the cookie jar and they just kept refilling it. That's Democrat governance summed up. Ignore fraud, silence whistleblowers, blame prosperity, then take credit for federal prosecutions. One. So this story gets my blood absolutely boiling. So let's talk about how the Washington Post

10:12
tried to destroy Secretary of War Pete Hegseth with a manufactured war crime scandal and how the New York Times demolished their narrative with actual journalism. Last Friday, the Post published an investigation claiming Hegseth gave illegal orders during a September 2nd strike on a drug boat in the Caribbean. According to anonymous sources, Hegseth gave a verbal kill everybody order.

10:41
When the first missile left two survivors clinging to burning wreckage, Admiral Bradley allegedly ordered a second strike to comply with Hegseth's directive. Those two died. The Post framed this as a war crime, a double-tap targeting defenseless shipwrecked individuals. The Democrats immediately jumped on it. Former military lawyers called it murder. Senator Kelly said service members should refuse unlawful orders.

11:11
and you know the media ran with it. Except it wasn't true. Monday, the Times published their investigation after speaking with five US officials with direct knowledge. Here's what actually happened. Hegseth authorized the initial strike with clear rules of engagement. Destroy the boat, eliminate the people on it, which is legal when targeting narco-terrorists in international waters.

11:40
But his directive did not specifically address what should happen if a first missile turned out to not fully accomplish all of those things. Hexath authorized the first strike with standard anti-narcotics rules of engagement. He did not order a second strike. He did not give a kill everybody command after seeing survivors. Admiral Bradley made the tactical follow-up decision.

12:09
That's his job as an on-scene commander, making real-time tactical decisions based on the situation. Officials told the Times Bradley's strikes weren't aimed at killing survivors specifically, but at ensuring the boat was destroyed and the drugs eliminated. The mission objective. The Post story made you think Hegseth watched survivors and specifically ordered their execution. The Times shows that's false.

12:39
Hegseth authorized anti-narcotic operations with standard rules. Bradley executed them. Follow-up strikes were tactical decisions to complete the mission. White House confirmed Hegseth authorized Bradley to conduct strikes, and Bradley worked well within his authority and the law. Press Secretary Caroline Levitt clarified the follow-up strikes were Bradley's tactical call, not a direct order from Hegseth after the initial strike.

13:10
Hegseth posted Monday, I quote, Admiral Mitch Bradley is an American hero, a true professional, and has my 100 % support. I stand by him and the combat decisions he has made on the September 2nd mission and all others since. That's leadership, standing by your commanders when media manufacture scandals. There are legitimate questions about rules of engagement. There always is.

13:37
Fair discussions about whether survivors should be rescued, which happened in an October 16th strike when two were captured and repatriated. The Pentagon has updated protocols. Those are fair policy discussions. But that's not what the Post wanted. They wanted to destroy Hegseth, make him look like a war criminal, generate resignation calls. The New York Times proved the Post's story was garbage journalism.

14:06
Since September, US forces have sunk 22 boats, killed over 80 alleged traffickers. Trump's administration is actually taking on the cartels, disrupting drugs, killing Americans. The media response? Call it war crimes. Demand investigations. Accused the Secretary of War of Murder. Trump does nothing. They call him weak. Trump acts decisively. They call him a war criminal.

14:34
There's no winning except to ignore manufactured outrage and just keep fighting. So there you have it, Patriots. Three stories that show exactly where we are as a country right now. Story one, Trump and the Dells invest 6.25 billion in American kids, private citizens using capitalism to build generational wealth, teaching the next generation that opportunity is real if you are willing to work for it. That's what winning looks like.

15:04
Story 2. Tim Walz oversees more than a billion dollars in fraud, ignores whistleblowers who try to expose it, possibly allows taxpayer money to fund terrorists, then blames Minnesota's prosperity for attracting criminals instead of taking any actual responsibility. That's Democrat governance in action. Story 3. The Washington Post manufactures a war crime scandal to destroy Pete Hegseth.

15:32
The New York Times does actual journalism and completely dismantles their narrative. That's the media showing exactly whose side they are on. Trump's building, Democrats are stealing, and the media is lying to cover for them. But we are not falling for it anymore. We see through the games, we understand the playbook, and we are going to keep fighting back with the truth. I'll see you Friday with three more stories the mainstream media won't touch.

16:01
This is O'Connor's Quick Strike and I'm John O'Connor. Hold the line, Patriots.
