1 00:00:00,160 --> 00:00:03,280 Speaker 1: Haven't heard a lot about the Minnesota fraud story, which 2 00:00:04,040 --> 00:00:06,600 Speaker 1: is a little while Jerry, when you consider the fact 3 00:00:06,600 --> 00:00:12,320 Speaker 1: that nine billion dollars in fraud is what we're talking 4 00:00:12,360 --> 00:00:14,200 Speaker 1: about here, But it's kind of falling off the radar. 5 00:00:15,520 --> 00:00:18,200 Speaker 2: Yeah. If there's anything that Minnesota looks to be doing right, 6 00:00:18,239 --> 00:00:19,520 Speaker 2: it's enabling fraudsters. 7 00:00:19,920 --> 00:00:21,360 Speaker 3: I mean, that's a lot of money. 8 00:00:21,360 --> 00:00:23,800 Speaker 2: Think of all the money that's now being come out now, 9 00:00:23,880 --> 00:00:27,000 Speaker 2: whether it's California or Minnesota. In this case, if our 10 00:00:27,280 --> 00:00:30,680 Speaker 2: tax money was actually going to people in need, how 11 00:00:30,760 --> 00:00:32,640 Speaker 2: much lower could they make our taxes. 12 00:00:33,280 --> 00:00:36,839 Speaker 1: And think about how much money that really is and 13 00:00:36,840 --> 00:00:40,400 Speaker 1: what it could do to that state. You could fix 14 00:00:40,720 --> 00:00:43,720 Speaker 1: the homeless problem. Now people always say you can't just 15 00:00:43,720 --> 00:00:44,680 Speaker 1: throw money at it. 16 00:00:45,000 --> 00:00:46,839 Speaker 3: Nine billion dollars, you might be able to. You can 17 00:00:46,880 --> 00:00:48,400 Speaker 3: fix the roads. You can fix the roads. 18 00:00:48,440 --> 00:00:50,400 Speaker 1: That's for damn sure, and you could do it in 19 00:00:50,560 --> 00:00:54,680 Speaker 1: hyper speed, right, nine billion dollars and. 20 00:00:54,680 --> 00:00:57,720 Speaker 3: All you got to show forward is to quality Leering Center. 21 00:00:58,720 --> 00:00:59,520 Speaker 3: Amy Bach. 22 00:01:00,000 --> 00:01:02,920 Speaker 1: He's the convicted ring leader of one of the Feeding 23 00:01:02,960 --> 00:01:07,720 Speaker 1: the Future scams. She claims from her Minnesota sell in 24 00:01:07,760 --> 00:01:11,039 Speaker 1: a feature on Fox that old balls. Tim Wallas, the 25 00:01:11,080 --> 00:01:15,160 Speaker 1: governor of Minnesota and the Attorney General Keith Ellison, fully 26 00:01:15,200 --> 00:01:19,280 Speaker 1: aware of everything going on. How high up do you 27 00:01:19,319 --> 00:01:22,600 Speaker 1: think the message went that there was fraud, like, do 28 00:01:22,640 --> 00:01:25,399 Speaker 1: you think it made its way to the Governor's office. 29 00:01:25,959 --> 00:01:30,720 Speaker 4: I struggled to believe it didn't. I have to believe 30 00:01:30,920 --> 00:01:34,080 Speaker 4: that the governor's office and Keith Ellison's office were aware 31 00:01:34,160 --> 00:01:38,120 Speaker 4: of this. Dave said they were involved in helping the FBI. 32 00:01:38,240 --> 00:01:39,720 Speaker 4: They've said they were made aware. 33 00:01:41,319 --> 00:01:43,840 Speaker 3: Okay, that's nothing, that's surprising. 34 00:01:44,360 --> 00:01:47,600 Speaker 1: Nine billion dollars, it's almost hard not to know that 35 00:01:47,600 --> 00:01:51,040 Speaker 1: that's going on. And then you've got a representative from 36 00:01:51,080 --> 00:01:55,680 Speaker 1: the House, the State House in Minnesota, representative I think 37 00:01:55,680 --> 00:01:59,680 Speaker 1: it's Kristin Robbins talking about some of the ridiculous stuff 38 00:01:59,680 --> 00:02:00,640 Speaker 1: they've bet money on. 39 00:02:01,400 --> 00:02:04,920 Speaker 5: Estimated fraud is nine billion dollars. And this doesn't count 40 00:02:04,920 --> 00:02:09,919 Speaker 5: fraud in SNAP or childcare programs. So where's the money 41 00:02:09,960 --> 00:02:14,320 Speaker 5: going to buy resorts in Kenya, apartments in Nairobi, property 42 00:02:14,360 --> 00:02:16,840 Speaker 5: in Turkey, or luxury homes and cars in the US. 43 00:02:17,360 --> 00:02:20,280 Speaker 5: Whereas yet, Minnesota tax beyers have allegedly found their ways 44 00:02:20,280 --> 00:02:23,520 Speaker 5: into the hands of terrorist organizations like El Shabab, both 45 00:02:23,560 --> 00:02:27,040 Speaker 5: directly and directly. The money is walking out the door 46 00:02:27,080 --> 00:02:31,560 Speaker 5: at the Minnesota Minneapolis Saint Paul Airport. Back in twenty seventeen, 47 00:02:31,680 --> 00:02:34,200 Speaker 5: the estimate was about one hundred million dollars in cash 48 00:02:34,240 --> 00:02:38,079 Speaker 5: was going out annually from our airport. According to TSA, 49 00:02:38,200 --> 00:02:41,560 Speaker 5: in twenty twenty four, there were three hundred and forty 50 00:02:41,600 --> 00:02:44,919 Speaker 5: million dollars in cash outbound, and in twenty twenty five 51 00:02:44,960 --> 00:02:48,600 Speaker 5: it was three hundred and fifty million. This is astonishing, 52 00:02:48,919 --> 00:02:50,840 Speaker 5: not only because of the amount, but because of the 53 00:02:50,919 --> 00:02:53,880 Speaker 5: It is so out of proportion to other airports. The 54 00:02:53,919 --> 00:02:57,920 Speaker 5: cash out of Minneapolis is ninety nine percent higher than 55 00:02:58,040 --> 00:03:01,480 Speaker 5: cash going out of Dallas at Lane and JFK in 56 00:03:01,560 --> 00:03:04,240 Speaker 5: New York, it's ninety percent higher than what's going out 57 00:03:04,240 --> 00:03:04,799 Speaker 5: of Seattle. 58 00:03:06,040 --> 00:03:08,639 Speaker 3: Wow, it's a big number, and that's a lot of crap. 59 00:03:08,919 --> 00:03:10,960 Speaker 2: I mean, that's the money, you know, one of the 60 00:03:10,960 --> 00:03:12,560 Speaker 2: big that we just did a little stegment on it. 61 00:03:12,560 --> 00:03:14,280 Speaker 2: The money is the dollars that are coming into the 62 00:03:14,320 --> 00:03:16,840 Speaker 2: city with the events that we have. Imagine if that 63 00:03:16,960 --> 00:03:19,440 Speaker 2: much money is just leaving the city, it's not being 64 00:03:19,480 --> 00:03:23,200 Speaker 2: recycled into businesses, not being recycled in the infrastructure, literally 65 00:03:23,280 --> 00:03:24,000 Speaker 2: leaving the country
