Violence INCREASES Towards Retired and Disabled

Added: 2026-05-27

[00:00:00]The 15 arrest today, Denny $90 million is a very important symbol because it's a shot across the bow. And we've all going to say this in our different ways, but I'm telling you, if you're a fraudster, do not walk away from this press conference. Run.

[00:00:16]>> Just like all of you, I was shocked.

[00:00:19]>> I'm asking No, no, no. You're not asking me nothing. 2.25 million.

[00:00:23]>> Get out. Get out. You guys, get out.

[00:00:24]Last December when I watched Nick Shirley's bombshell investigation of migrant fraud in Minnesota which called attention to the now infamous quality learing center instead of learning and other schemes across that state.

[00:00:38]>> [ __ ] you say out of here man.

[00:00:39]>> GET OUT GUYS GET OUT.

[00:00:41]>> This morning the ring leader of the $250 million feeding our future fraud scheme in Minnesota was sentenced in federal court to over 40 years in prison.

[00:00:52]>> What? Who are you? My name's Nick Shirley.

[00:00:54]>> No, I don't give a [ __ ] Get out.

[00:00:56]>> Could you could you could you answer the question?

[00:00:58]>> No, I don't.

[00:00:58]>> What's the need for $2.25 million question?

[00:01:03]>> Now, many of you know before I was elected vice president or elected a United States senator, I was an elected attorney general and before that elected district attorney and before that I was a courtroom prosecutor. So in those roles, I took on perpetrators of all kinds.

[00:01:24]Predators who abused women, fraudsters who scammed consumers, cheaters who broke the rules for their own gain.

[00:01:39]So hear me when I say I know Donald Trump's type.

[00:01:55]>> [ __ ] stops with me. I'm accountable for this. And because of that accountability, I'm not running for office again. But I have a year to continue to improve on a record that I think will stand up against anybody's. A record that has made Minnesota better.

[00:02:09]>> No tax on tips.

[00:02:14]No tax on overtime.

[00:02:20]>> No tax on social security.

[00:02:28]Prosecutors say Oman is seen in this surveillance video along with Jashawn Eleon targeting and attacking a 77year-old man at random here on Third Avenue in downtown Seattle last month.

[00:02:38]Jan Elon appeared in court earlier this week. only has eight misdemeanor convictions.

[00:02:44]>> And despite his attorney's argument that having only eight misdemeanor convictions should make him eligible to be released on a home monitor, a judge kept him in custody with a bail of $100,000.

[00:02:56]>> Police say the homeowner, who's a senior citizen, was attacked and injured by two suspects who robbed her just before 8:00 p.m. Neighbors say she had been hit on the head and choked.

[00:03:06]>> This situation there were probably people who had worked on the property.

[00:03:10]This surveillance video shows the suspect tackling the first elderly man to the ground. That's when the second man approaches the scene to try to intervene when then the suspect punches the second man.

[00:03:25]And 18-year-old Jeremiah Perez are charged with abuse of a disabled adult.

[00:03:29]And the video, while shaky, shows the two men first punched the man, then later throw a trash can at him. also charged the 16-year-old girl who recorded the attack.

[00:03:40]>> Just to be clear with this particular issue, and I just want to go into this a little bit more, when we look at the statistics, and this video is going to show us essentially, you know, the relevance of how retired and disabled are being put into a more and more dangerous situation as time continues to roll forward. But the bottom line is, is it getting safer or less safe for our Social Security recipients who fall into that like fragile class of individuals, including our veterans who are on VA compensation, whether Tdiu or the PNT, >> got a man waiting for a train, a suspect behind him, appearing to lie and wait.

[00:04:13]It broad daylight now. He tries to shove him in front of an oncoming train right at that point.

[00:04:19]about 12% of the US population were victims of 26% of all nonfatal violent crimes from 2017 to 2019. And just to point out, somebody who is impaired or elderly is much more likely to be injured from a small incident that would not be potentially fatal, but would be horrifically lifealtering for them in a much longer timeline sense.

[00:04:44]I was told by a manager that Adam took the staff's lunch and the staff got upset because my son doesn't articulate his words because that's part of his disability. How come he's wrong?

[00:05:01]>> Another thing to keep in mind is the violent victimization rate for people with disabilities was 46.2 per 1,000 aed 12 plus. nearly four times higher than the 12.3 per 1,000 rate for those without disabilities. Again, 2017 and 2019 uh statistic. Another one in 2019 specifically, the rate was 49.2 per 10,000 for disabled versus 12.4 per thousand for non-disabled. So, just to kind of keep that in mind, it's a 49.2 ratio to 12.4. And that was back in 2019.

[00:05:35]The doctor come outside and says, "Uh, Tamir Selby has been being abused >> in the closet face down in a bloody pillow."

[00:05:46]>> People with cognitive disabilities experience the highest violent victimization rates, often around 83 per 1,000 in some periods in some geographic areas. Now, just imagine that 83 people with mental impairments fall into some cognitive disability experience where they're victimized. you know, could be abuse, could be harm, could be physical harm, etc. to them. 83 per 1,000 in some periods in some geographic areas. Now, just kind of keep in mind, there's also some additional details. You have to keep, you know, up with this whole thing. One in three robbery victims had at least one disability. Okay? So I mean just imagine that in 2009 data persons with disabilities were victims of 47,000 rapes, 79,000 robberies, 114,000 aggravated assaults and 476,000 simple assaults. Disabled people were 2 time sorry 2.5 times more likely to experience violent victimization than non-disabled in 2015. serious violent crimes, okay, where robbery, aggravated assault, the bad stuff, were more than three times as likely to impact disabled people, right? And uh violent crime victims with disabilities were somewhat more likely, 12% versus 8% to receive victim service assistance, which is good, but at the same time, there is an underlying problem. We keep seeing those who are elderly, those who are retired, those who are disabled being targeted more and more for crime. We all know why. There's there's no background. The reason why this is happening to the fragile class is that they are easier victims to target. They're easier because they physically can't run away as well. They're easier because mentally they can be man manipulated more easily.

[00:07:25]There's all these little things that make them a better target.

[00:07:30]In the span of less than two days, we went from optimism, the start of something new, and I buried her. That's That's something I'm going to live with for the rest of my life.

[00:07:43]>> As long as we can find >> Okay.

[00:07:50]>> Okay.

[00:07:57]>> Another one. In 2012, the rate of violent crimes against persons with disabilities was 34 per 10,000 versus 23 per 10,000 without. Disabled people experience violence for longer periods and in more forms than non-disabled victims. And abuse rates among people with disabilities are 1.5 times higher overall than for those without. That was a meta analysis that was done. Some studies estimated that around 50 to 100% of people with disabilities experience some form of violence abuse in their lifetime. And I can tell you definitely with representing a lot of people, when it comes to, you know, especially women, you know, going through their lifespan as, you know, a US citizen or whatever, they tend to have quite a bit of abuse that affects them and causes some form of PTSD, whether they were very young or when it happened when they were older.

[00:08:40]Could have been at work, could have been when they were, you know, doing something else, etc. But the bottom line is they experience a lot of it. Now, globally, around one in three children with disabilities experience violence.

[00:08:49]Prevalence 31.7%. Children with disabilities are more than twice as likely to experience violence as those without. Emotional and physical violence affects about one in three children with disabilities. Neglect affects one in five children with disabilities. Uh you know all types of violence to them. Um cognitive learning disabilities and mental disorders shows slightly higher uh violence rates around 33 to 34% among children. People with disabilities face 1.5 times more violence globally than those without. In the US, violent crimes against disabled persons were less likely to be reported to police. 38% versus 45%, which means that to be fair, uh the disabled essentially get attacked or they get harmed and they don't report it, which is not good because usually they're fearing a future attack if they do report it. Nearly one in five violent crime victims with a disability believed it was because of their disability.

[00:09:40]Disability hate crimes in the US rose 29.5% from 156 in 2019 to 202 in 2023.

[00:09:48]Disabled bias accounts for 1.3% of single bias hate crime victims in 2024.

[00:09:54]>> He was not born this way. He is a victim of um remember that state's program for children with autism, the one where Somali fosters set up fake treatment centers and stole millions of taxpayer dollars. Well, the same thing appears to be happening in Maine.

[00:10:16]Now, just to keep in mind when it comes to the elderly, right, the the older individuals, those who are retired, 65 plusers, stuff like that. Approximately 1 in 10 Americans aged 60 plus experience some form of elder abuse annually. Once again, let me just put that again. 1 in 10 experience elder abuse annually. During the CO9 pan pandemic, one in five older adults reported elder abuse. Only one in 24 cases of elder abuse are reported to the authorities which means that the numbers are vastly under reportported globally.

[00:10:47]About one in six people aed 60 plus, 15.7% experienced abuse community settings in the past year. And then of course, you know, seeing people being pushed in front of trains, seeing people being dragged out of their house, seeing people, you know, essentially not living in the America we thought we were going to live in, you know, it adds up. It's just not good. Nearly half of those with dementia experience abuse or neglect.

[00:11:08]Violent abuse of the elderly cost nearly 33 billion in US in the US in 2022. From 2002 to 2016, over 643,000 older Americans were treated in ERS for non-fatal assaults. 19,000 homicides uh non-fatal assaults rates on older adults rose 31%. Homicides, 26% from 2015 to 2022. About 90% 90% of elder abuse cases occur in the victim's home. Non-fatal assaults on seniors rose over 75% for men and 35% for women of the past 20 years. Uh nearly 5% of seniors suffer psychological abuse annually. Up to 5 million seniors suffer abuse each year in the US. In nursing homes, okay, 64.2% of staff admitted to some form of elder abuse in the past year. Physical abuse is the most reported form in some nursing home data. And you know, we've all seen some of the uh new videos coming out where you get somebody who's a little bit aggressive with them and uh begins, you know, doing terrible things to them. 2017, neglect was 31.2% of reported elder abuse victims in some state data. Women comprise 2/3 of elder abuse victims in many reports. Elderly, 65 plus. Violent victimization rate was much lower overall, four to six per 10,000 older data. But impacts are severe due to vulnerability and they are rising because just to be fair, people that have some money and people that basically are the least likely to be able to run away, you know, whether you have a castle doctrine, whether you have a defend your, you know, self-defense, defend your body doctrine, whatever you want to call it. The bottom line is at the end of the day, these individuals are less likely with capacity to go ahead and run away from the danger as it occurs. Financial exploitation affects 5.2% 2% of elderly annually in some studies 11% of elderly reported at least one form of maltreatment emotional physical neglect in the past year also disabled and elderly often overlap as high-risisk groups in urban areas with higher victimization rates. Reporting rates for violence against both groups remains low due to isolation, dependency, and fear because a lot of the people that are hurting them are people that usually have to take care of them or they're people that they're going to run into in the future. They live in an apartment nearby. They work for a nursing home. Sometimes they go there to just check in on somebody else, etc. Post2020 crime spikes disproportionately affect vulnerables like disabled and seniors in cities with high transit and homeless issues. So, you know, just to be clear, you know, uh well, I should be transient. Um, you know, just to be clear with this, if you have increased homelessness, and I've been saying this on the channel for a very long time, and I work with more homeless than any of you do. If you have high homelessness, high transients, uh especially chronic homelessness, you are going to see disabled because a lot of disabled become homeless while they're waiting to be found disabled, uh you know, get their disability check. If you have disabled, if you have elderly, they are targeted by homeless people because they know they got money, right? They get a check, they have a little bit of money, and they also know to be very fair, and I think this is incredibly important, that at the end of the day, incredibly important. I just hope you remember this. At the end of the day, what happens is you have a lot of people in a situation where, you know, they're just walking to the store. They're just going out for a quick ride. They're just going to their doctors, stuff like that.

[00:14:25]It's sad. And we see it all. we see somebody, you know, running up to them, stealing their cane, pushing them over, doing horrible things to them while they're in a wheelchair. And I think it's important that we start to just kind of understand that this ridiculous amount of homelessness acceptance, homelessness is not something we should accept. And I I know on the left it's like, oh, we should have needle programs and this and D.

[00:14:48]How about we just fix the problem? Okay, let's just just take a moment.

[00:14:55]Homelessness is due to a lack of a structured environment that gives somebody a home. Magic fingers right there. So, at the end of the day, we need a home and we need treatment for a lot of the drug abuse problems that are popping up.

[00:15:11]>> The the staffing issue is huge for this system. Um, you as you said, Brianna, there are a lot of people everybody is significantly underpaid. Training is an issue. like what we're talking about training. I mean, hands-on training is an issue for these staff members. Many of them feel like they're thrown into the job. They're left alone. They're not given the support they need. And there are a lot of good people out there on the front lines trying to do good work at the same time because the companies have trouble attracting good people.

[00:15:42]They have a tendency to take whatever is out there. And that's how you get bad actors that sneak into the system. They don't really sneak in. They're just they're just brought in people that are not really equipped for the job cuz we're not upfront with them. Lack of training leaves residents vulnerable. I mean, residents do not get the support they need. Some of them need oneon-one.

[00:16:02]They need assistance. They don't get it because there aren't enough staff.

[00:16:09]>> You hear the screams of an 84 year old resident of an assisted living facility as the owner is handling her. And then South Miami police say she is slapped on the buttocks and insulted.

[00:16:23]>> I think it's really important at the end of the day overall both populations disabled and retired they face elevated risks from known perpetrators could be anybody family caregivers some person off the street brand new immigrant to the United States who's not legally here. Societal factors, underpolicing, isolation, they can't get assistance, they're going to run into this person again, they're afraid of that person, economic costs, the retirement benefits aren't crap, right? Doesn't pay for anything.

[00:16:53]Disability benefits, even worse. Even worse.

[00:16:57]What do we do? Well, I am working on some really great rules for each and every social security program. I know some of you are like, Social Security, it equals retirement. Yeah, it's retirement is one of many of those programs I'm working on for the major programs a new rule that I'm going to be punting up the political ladder to see if I can get them to go ahead and approve it. It will make things better for disabled. It will will make things better for SSI recipients. It will make things better for retired. It will make things better for essentially survivors, widows, etc. And what I've concluded with this is that we cannot make America safe. We cannot make America safe until we make it safe for the most vulnerable populations.

[00:17:41]And the only way to make America safe first is to address who are the vulnerable populations, social security recipients and welfare recipients. And then how do we protect them the most from potential harm? kicking them out of their apartment so that we can put immigrants in, you know, their room instead is what I like to call the exact opposite, the most unethical level of crap we could ever see. And some of you voted for it. And I don't even And that's the thing. I'm at the point when I look at this stuff and I'm so angry. I'm so pissed because, you know, some of you were still like, well, you know, D and blah blah blah blah blah. I don't even know like how to convince you at this point that things will only get worse if we have cultures coming in this country that specifically target people for not being a part of their religion. Now, first of all, all religions, all religions are violent.

[00:18:39]All of them. Every single one. Jewish religion, Christian religion, Muslim religion especially, all of them are violent. All of them. You know, this whole like God is only about peace. God loves peace. There's a lot of wars, there's a lot of battles, there's a lot of weapons, there's a lot of unique stuff going on in all these different religious texts. That was one of the things that took me away from just being with Judaism or Christianity. I started to study all these different things. And then you, you know, you end up in the Buddhist area and you go, "Oh, wait, wait a minute. Wait a minute. Wait a minute.

[00:19:13]The whole peace idea, the whole finding inner self, the middle ground. Wait a minute." And you start to realize, "Oh, man."

[00:19:23]Yeah. And to be fair, when you sit back and you really think about it, to believe that God only exists in the context of one book and that God doesn't pop up throughout human history in other books and that God doesn't pop up, you know, basically throughout the process of the human, you know, lifespan achieving different things. To believe that God only pops up in one book, that's a hard cell. That is a very hard cell. to believe that one book got it all absolutely perfectly right. Also a very difficult sale. I mean you might say this is the Bible is it. You might say the Torah is it. You might say this isah or Scientology is the the cat's meow. You might say that. But let me just give you my perspective on it. We seem to separate each other based off of things like race and color of skin mostly religion, right? um societal wealth, you know, are you in this level of house? Are you in a single wide trailer? You in a triple wide trailer?

[00:20:24]Are you in a giant mansion on, you know, thousand acres? We seem to separate each other based off of the slang and terminology and our origin of our, you know, syntax, diction, etc. Look, just to be fair, we're all humans on a rock moving around a sun, moving around a Milky Way that is moving around a giant, giant black hole. We're all just not that important. But we should move towards the agenda of achieving safety for our race of beings. And frankly, if it's up to me, also the animals as well. And look, look, I I'm not saying that you should, you know, not eat what you want to eat.

[00:21:07]I'm just saying, look, okay, the earth is pretty special. There's not a lot of them out there. There's some, but you know, trees, they're really rare. Much more rare than diamonds. You know what's even more rare than trees?

[00:21:21]Kangaroos, super rare, right? Dogs, very rare, right? You can look at that in the cosmos. There's just not a lot of them out there. There's just not a lot of them out there. Now we're finding out of course there are types of uh you know u biogenetic material that we're calling other beings. We now have come out with UAPs and flying saucers. They're finally admitting you know all this information to it. My point is this. We need to focus on which groups of people are the best biioarker for showing that violence is either getting worse or getting better. And if we can, which I'm just going to tell you, it's it's the fragile class, survivors, widows, retired, disabled, SSI people. If we can figure that out, which we already know, then we can properly measure how many bad things are happening to those people.

[00:22:17]The statistics are important, but the lack of action on behalf of the Democrats and Republicans to make better housing, well, that just tells me right off the bat that if you make better housing for people, they're not going to want to work and they want to make sure that they're working.

[00:22:35]Here's my belief. They have not been aggressively fixing homelessness because at the end of the day, just to be very clear, if they fix homelessness, then people aren't going to work as much, which is probably true. If they fix homelessness, they can't pay, you know, make people fear the whole homeless attacking you situation, right? You better go out and earn money. You better buy those security cameras. You better put up that wall. You put put up that hedge, you know, you better go ahead and have a big strong house.

[00:23:04]Capitalism is based off of improvement that is helped, bolstered, pushed by the identity of fear which is created by that need for more, right? They sell men one thing, they sell women another thing. It's all, you know, a form of capitalism to make you spend more of what you earn. The more you spend, the less of that safety and belief that you're going to be okay you actually have. The less money you have, the more anxiety you have. It's just a rotating terrible circle of life. Okay. All right. With that said, I hope you enjoyed this video. I hope we got to talk about a lot of things. We're going to be doing more videos specifically on fraud in Medicare, fraud in Medicaid, fraud in food stamps, fraud in TAF, fraud in block grants, fraud in social security. We're going to be covering all that stuff. Please be kind to each other. We're unique. I know aliens come to this planet and probably look at us and go like, "Ew, what is what is up with that thing picking its nose?" And to be fair, right, you know, we're not, you know, we we we we can we can improve on the level of nose picking that we've been doing. We we can definitely improve upon ourselves in that regard. My point to you is we have to actually start pushing the change we want and capitalism.

[00:24:29]We have to fight it in that regard so that we can create the world that creates better basic lines and standards of living. Again, you don't want the politicians that are just going to allow everybody, right, to come into this country and change the culture and be violent towards those who are fragile.

[00:24:50]And you don't want the people who are just going to push how do we make more money and more money makes more money and how do we cater just to the billionaires. Yes, you got to take care of the billionaires. If you haven't figured that one out, then you obviously don't understand taxation. You obviously don't understand communities. You obviously don't understand how companies made. Oh, the billionaires are evil.

[00:25:08]Yeah. Well, just to be clear, they're the ones who create the corporations and the jobs that pay for all of your benefits. Oh, no, no, no, no, no. They don't pay any taxes.

[00:25:20]I love that argument. They don't really pay for that many taxes. Yeah. Here's how it works. They find a way at the super ultra rich end to make a lot of their money in a different corporation through a different headquartered area.

[00:25:32]Okay. But the amount of taxes they do pay both through themselves and their corporations are massive compared to the middle class. Massive. Absolutely massive. Oh, no, they don't. No, you're looking at statistics of a rich person versus the middle class. You need to look at the rich person's company and the taxes the company pays in conjunction with the rich person, which they don't statistically do. And I don't know why that is, but it's just it's weird. It's just weird. But again, you can see it with your own eyes. But you think all those middle class people paying a thousand bucks a month or 2,000 bucks a month, you think they're really carrying all of you on retirement, you you think you think they're carrying all the disabled? You think you think they're the ones doing all that? No. No.

[00:26:21]It's it's it's the corporations. The corporations are setting everything up to make this whole thing work. Yeah. The rich people, they get away with murder when it comes to taxation. They shouldn't get away with that much. I totally agree. But for some reason, and my favorite part is when the poor are like, "I paid this much." Bro, bro, there's Ben points on how much you get and they are constantly giving you more than what you paid in or just around what you paid in to give you enough to even make it make sense. when somebody's like, "Oh, I worked at this job and this job and I d you didn't pay in sometimes all the money you're getting back. The middle class and everybody up got screwed to pay for you." I don't know if you realize that. Oh, you're making fun of the No, no, no. Let me just If you understand how it works, you realize that's not set up properly. It's just not. The middle class should be getting a hell of a lot more. You take that money that was paid into social security, you put it into S&P 500, retirement would be quite nice. Quite nice. Disability benefits, too. Quite nice. Very nice. It's a more rapid expansion upwards. That means even if you become disabled in your 40s or 50s, you're doing quite well. Quite well. All right. With that said, I will catch you all a little bit later. Please remember to like and subscribe. Please remember to be nice to each other. So many of you don't do that. Yes, tomorrow I'm going to be calling those people uh to do the scheduling the private sessions. So, if I haven't called you, I am going to call you to catch up with those. I know there's like three or four people who paid. Also, with that said, um please remember at the end of the day to just do what you can to be kind to each other. You don't realize how many great connections you could have and how many great ideas you can have by just talking to people, even if they're different from you. You like soccer, they like football, you like music, they like uh I I don't know, roller skating. I mean, nobody likes the roller skaters. I get it. I'm just kidding, of course. But the bottom line is this. Just be nice. You never know who you're going to meet.

[00:28:28]That just sparks a connection with you.

[00:28:31]Everybody needs their beer buddy. Even if they're not having beer, that's just the reality. Okay. I hope you're having an amazing, wonderful day. Uh at the end of the day, please remember to like, subscribe. Also chapter right over here is paying for me to go ahead and make this video which is super amazing. I don't know Medicare. So if medic if you have Medicare questions I have nothing to do with Medicare. Medicare is like a totally separate thing. Give them a call. I don't know about Medicare. They do. My thing is Social Security disability benefits and VA disability VA compensation. You know Tdiu PNT is the main goal but it's not Medicare. I will catch you all a little bit later. You have a wonderful day and we will rock and roll from there. Thank you so much.

[00:29:08]Have fun and be nice. All right. Thanks so much.

[00:29:11]It's the same thing at all these daycarees. Four men came out. Yet, they couldn't answer the simple question. We had it right here. 118 children. $2.25 million is here.

[00:29:23]>> Welcome to Minnesota.
