1
00:00:00,320 --> 00:00:04,560
Speaker 1: I'm having some fun watching coverage of Governor Old Balls

2
00:00:04,600 --> 00:00:07,200
Speaker 1: Tim Walls testifying in front of a committee on the

3
00:00:07,240 --> 00:00:12,560
Speaker 1: misuse of funds in his state of Minnesota. The spotlight

4
00:00:12,760 --> 00:00:15,400
Speaker 1: back on Old Balls now that it's calmed down with

5
00:00:15,520 --> 00:00:20,159
Speaker 1: everything regarding ice, and boy, that couldn't happened at a

6
00:00:20,160 --> 00:00:23,479
Speaker 1: better time for Old Balls, could it. I mean, the

7
00:00:23,520 --> 00:00:27,000
Speaker 1: Somali fraud stuff was all coming down on him, and

8
00:00:27,040 --> 00:00:31,320
Speaker 1: then just like that, we've got ice in Minneapolis and

9
00:00:31,360 --> 00:00:33,720
Speaker 1: we're doing weeks and weeks of protests.

10
00:00:33,800 --> 00:00:36,920
Speaker 2: You want to talk about a meteoric fall from grace.

11
00:00:37,080 --> 00:00:41,480
Speaker 2: I have never seen someone so swiftly decline after being

12
00:00:41,520 --> 00:00:44,879
Speaker 2: nominated to be the vice president of the United States.

13
00:00:44,920 --> 00:00:47,720
Speaker 1: I mean, man, life hits you hard. Sometimes it hits

14
00:00:47,720 --> 00:00:51,160
Speaker 1: you hard. Not only that, but he is not running again.

15
00:00:51,200 --> 00:00:54,880
Speaker 1: He's stepping down from his role as governor. He's not

16
00:00:54,960 --> 00:00:59,760
Speaker 1: going to seek reelection, and I wonder why it's because

17
00:00:59,760 --> 00:01:02,880
Speaker 1: of here. I'll just give you a few examples. Again,

18
00:01:02,960 --> 00:01:06,480
Speaker 1: this is old Balls Tim Walls in a committee hearing

19
00:01:06,560 --> 00:01:12,360
Speaker 1: GOP Congressman Brandon gil asking him about the fraud investigation,

20
00:01:12,600 --> 00:01:17,480
Speaker 1: specifically detailing the autism program payouts.

21
00:01:18,560 --> 00:01:21,560
Speaker 3: When did you become governor in January of twenty nineteen,

22
00:01:21,680 --> 00:01:24,800
Speaker 3: twenty nineteen. Okay, so using twenty eighteen as a baseline,

23
00:01:24,800 --> 00:01:28,880
Speaker 3: do you know what that program paid in medicaid claims?

24
00:01:29,440 --> 00:01:30,440
Speaker 1: I do not, Congressman.

25
00:01:30,520 --> 00:01:33,200
Speaker 3: It's about six hundred and seventy one thousand dollars. Do

26
00:01:33,240 --> 00:01:35,280
Speaker 3: you know what that program paid in medicaid claims in

27
00:01:35,360 --> 00:01:36,160
Speaker 3: twenty twenty four?

28
00:01:36,800 --> 00:01:38,080
Speaker 2: I don't have the number in front of me.

29
00:01:38,600 --> 00:01:41,800
Speaker 3: Three hundred and forty two million dollars. That's about a

30
00:01:41,840 --> 00:01:45,800
Speaker 3: five hundred x increase over six years were there was

31
00:01:45,840 --> 00:01:49,040
Speaker 3: there a five hundred times the number of autism patients

32
00:01:49,840 --> 00:01:50,960
Speaker 3: in that time period.

33
00:01:51,000 --> 00:01:54,800
Speaker 1: I couldn't speak specifically to it, but I will say, Congressman.

34
00:01:54,320 --> 00:01:57,400
Speaker 3: That doesn't sound reasonable, right, you know I. Would you

35
00:01:57,440 --> 00:02:00,520
Speaker 3: also agree that a single tax payer dollar wasted on

36
00:02:00,560 --> 00:02:02,520
Speaker 3: fraud is a dollar too much to tolerate?

37
00:02:02,680 --> 00:02:03,600
Speaker 4: Yes, yep.

38
00:02:03,680 --> 00:02:07,240
Speaker 3: And would you agree that as governor, ultimately you're responsible

39
00:02:07,640 --> 00:02:09,520
Speaker 3: if tax dollars are defrauded?

40
00:02:09,639 --> 00:02:09,839
Speaker 1: Yes?

41
00:02:09,840 --> 00:02:10,440
Speaker 4: I would agree.

42
00:02:10,760 --> 00:02:13,960
Speaker 2: Keep your eye on Brandon gil because he really seems

43
00:02:14,040 --> 00:02:18,320
Speaker 2: phenomenal at backing the opposition into a corner and utterly

44
00:02:18,360 --> 00:02:21,440
Speaker 2: eviscerating them. He has been getting a name for himself

45
00:02:21,440 --> 00:02:24,680
Speaker 2: in these various committee hearings in the House, in these

46
00:02:24,800 --> 00:02:29,359
Speaker 2: gotcha moments, in these epic smackdowns of whoever he seems

47
00:02:29,360 --> 00:02:30,000
Speaker 2: to be going after.

48
00:02:30,040 --> 00:02:34,200
Speaker 1: He's a rep out of Texas on this committee with Walls,

49
00:02:34,240 --> 00:02:36,760
Speaker 1: and I think the Attorney General from Minnesota was there too,

50
00:02:37,560 --> 00:02:40,560
Speaker 1: Keith Ellison on the misuse of funds in Minnesota. Can

51
00:02:40,639 --> 00:02:47,480
Speaker 1: we move to this hilarious burn by Representative Fallon out

52
00:02:47,480 --> 00:02:51,640
Speaker 1: of Texas Allison. I wanted to play this clip again,

53
00:02:51,800 --> 00:02:53,960
Speaker 1: just just ramp. I mean, did you hear five hundred

54
00:02:54,120 --> 00:02:57,360
Speaker 1: times the increase of autism payouts for that program that

55
00:02:57,360 --> 00:03:00,079
Speaker 1: that was initiated, Like it went from one hundreds of

56
00:03:00,160 --> 00:03:02,360
Speaker 1: thousands of dollars to hundreds of millions of dollars in

57
00:03:02,400 --> 00:03:05,840
Speaker 1: the span of a few years there in Minnesota. If

58
00:03:05,840 --> 00:03:07,799
Speaker 1: it's happening there, it's happening everywhere.

59
00:03:07,840 --> 00:03:10,800
Speaker 2: It's disgusting, and it seems like we're a hair's bread

60
00:03:10,880 --> 00:03:14,000
Speaker 2: the way from revealing the dirty secret with Why these

61
00:03:14,000 --> 00:03:17,480
Speaker 2: government officials look the other way for such fraud is

62
00:03:17,520 --> 00:03:21,280
Speaker 2: because it's a giant money laundering operation. It's the something

63
00:03:21,320 --> 00:03:23,880
Speaker 2: I talk about on Saturday Night on the Circle quite frequently,

64
00:03:23,960 --> 00:03:26,560
Speaker 2: the circular distribution of cash.

65
00:03:26,639 --> 00:03:31,720
Speaker 1: Here is again old balls Tim Walls testifying in front

66
00:03:31,760 --> 00:03:35,160
Speaker 1: of a committee on misuse of funds in Minnesota. Here's

67
00:03:35,280 --> 00:03:40,440
Speaker 1: Representative foul and just dropping a sick burn on the governor.

68
00:03:40,880 --> 00:03:43,320
Speaker 4: No Congressman, I think I've done the job for two terms,

69
00:03:43,320 --> 00:03:45,280
Speaker 4: and I said talking with my Chesley and I said,

70
00:03:45,320 --> 00:03:47,200
Speaker 4: I want to focus on doing the job, not really

71
00:03:47,240 --> 00:03:50,440
Speaker 4: have anything to do with this epic, historic, awful fraud.

72
00:03:51,120 --> 00:03:52,800
Speaker 4: It has everything to do with trying to do that

73
00:03:53,080 --> 00:03:55,839
Speaker 4: right for Minnesota. The facts are your leadership and really

74
00:03:55,840 --> 00:03:59,040
Speaker 4: your lack of leadership is Laura has been responsible one

75
00:03:59,040 --> 00:04:01,360
Speaker 4: of the largest rip offs of the American taxpayer in

76
00:04:01,400 --> 00:04:05,200
Speaker 4: our history. In two thousand and eight, when Barack Obama

77
00:04:05,240 --> 00:04:09,880
Speaker 4: was choosing his vice presidential candidate, he had a three criteria.

78
00:04:09,920 --> 00:04:12,040
Speaker 4: He wanted to make sure he picked somebody that wasn't

79
00:04:12,040 --> 00:04:15,280
Speaker 4: as smart as him and had less talent and charisma

80
00:04:15,960 --> 00:04:18,520
Speaker 4: and couldn't possibly outshine him, So he picked Joe Biden,

81
00:04:19,360 --> 00:04:21,920
Speaker 4: and then Joe Biden in twenty twenty used the exact

82
00:04:21,960 --> 00:04:24,320
Speaker 4: same criteria. He wanted to make sure he picked somebody

83
00:04:24,320 --> 00:04:26,520
Speaker 4: on as smart as him, had less talent, charisma.

84
00:04:26,560 --> 00:04:28,200
Speaker 1: You see where he's going with this right.

85
00:04:28,400 --> 00:04:29,760
Speaker 4: Come on, he's.

86
00:04:29,600 --> 00:04:31,400
Speaker 1: Telegraphed the governor.

87
00:04:31,560 --> 00:04:34,360
Speaker 4: I think is very evident why Kamala Harris picked you

88
00:04:36,040 --> 00:04:39,760
Speaker 4: the talent pool is chairman, miss chairman the talent Pool

89
00:04:39,760 --> 00:04:42,799
Speaker 4: in just shallow, brother, we have hit the shore.

90
00:04:43,000 --> 00:04:46,000
Speaker 2: One of the best insults, Nigel, that I've ever heard,

91
00:04:46,560 --> 00:04:50,280
Speaker 2: from Bill Murray to Chevy Chase. You are medium talent,

92
00:04:50,440 --> 00:04:52,840
Speaker 2: that is to say, neither talent, that is neither well

93
00:04:52,839 --> 00:04:53,680
Speaker 2: done or rare.

94
00:04:53,880 --> 00:04:56,520
Speaker 1: Wow. Oh brutal
