1
00:00:07,840 --> 00:00:11,320
Speaker 1: Bill Cunningham, the Great American. Welcome this Thursday, afternoon, Christmas

2
00:00:11,320 --> 00:00:14,239
Speaker 1: on the horizon. Last night, the President addressed the nation.

3
00:00:14,800 --> 00:00:16,720
Speaker 1: I thought it was fabulous. I thought it was great.

4
00:00:16,720 --> 00:00:19,160
Speaker 1: I'm going to share with you my ex account or

5
00:00:19,200 --> 00:00:20,920
Speaker 1: my tweet it. Can I use the word tweet anymore

6
00:00:20,960 --> 00:00:23,440
Speaker 1: about what I said about last night's speech and more.

7
00:00:23,880 --> 00:00:27,400
Speaker 1: Plus the Bengals two is not going to play on Sunday.

8
00:00:27,400 --> 00:00:29,280
Speaker 1: We'll see what happens now the Bengals won from an

9
00:00:29,320 --> 00:00:31,639
Speaker 1: underdog to a favorite. We'll see what happens there. But

10
00:00:31,720 --> 00:00:34,720
Speaker 1: until then, Congressman Warren Davidson, welcome again to the Bill

11
00:00:34,760 --> 00:00:38,760
Speaker 1: Cunningham Show. First of all, Congressman, Merry Christmas, Happy New Year.

12
00:00:38,920 --> 00:00:40,839
Speaker 1: May I share with you my ex account and what

13
00:00:40,960 --> 00:00:42,320
Speaker 1: I said last night late?

14
00:00:43,479 --> 00:00:44,839
Speaker 2: It'd be an honor. Thank you.

15
00:00:45,040 --> 00:00:47,720
Speaker 1: This is what I'm saying. Trump speaks to the nation.

16
00:00:48,320 --> 00:00:54,000
Speaker 1: Three main goals as potus fix, the border lesson crime fix,

17
00:00:54,080 --> 00:00:57,480
Speaker 1: inflation check mark all three. In fact, this morning the

18
00:00:57,560 --> 00:01:00,760
Speaker 1: numbers came out. They're down to two point seven from three.

19
00:01:01,040 --> 00:01:03,360
Speaker 1: They went down the place and number went down ten

20
00:01:03,400 --> 00:01:06,039
Speaker 1: percent in one month, from three point zero to two

21
00:01:06,040 --> 00:01:09,440
Speaker 1: point seven. May I continue American service members each receive,

22
00:01:09,720 --> 00:01:13,039
Speaker 1: due to tariffs, a Christmas bonus of one thousand, seven

23
00:01:13,160 --> 00:01:15,839
Speaker 1: hundred and seventy six dollars. Do you stand with DJT

24
00:01:16,080 --> 00:01:20,040
Speaker 1: or you want Biden and Kamala back? They're back. Can

25
00:01:20,080 --> 00:01:23,920
Speaker 1: you imagine the road not taken that if Kamala Harris

26
00:01:24,080 --> 00:01:26,840
Speaker 1: and Tim Waltz the marshmallow Man was in charge of

27
00:01:26,880 --> 00:01:29,000
Speaker 1: the economy. Now, where would we be.

28
00:01:32,720 --> 00:01:36,000
Speaker 3: It's it's insane where we would be if if we

29
00:01:36,080 --> 00:01:38,320
Speaker 3: had Kamala Harris and Tim Watson.

30
00:01:38,360 --> 00:01:39,800
Speaker 2: Look, the country rightly.

31
00:01:39,560 --> 00:01:42,839
Speaker 3: Decided we need we need another term for President Trump,

32
00:01:43,120 --> 00:01:44,920
Speaker 3: and he's made the most of it. I mean, you

33
00:01:44,959 --> 00:01:49,000
Speaker 3: look at the executive actions they've taken, and the momentum

34
00:01:49,040 --> 00:01:50,960
Speaker 3: is great, and I think he kind of teed it

35
00:01:51,000 --> 00:01:52,960
Speaker 3: up to say, hey, we've got a lot of things done.

36
00:01:53,200 --> 00:01:55,200
Speaker 2: More good things are coming. Uh.

37
00:01:55,280 --> 00:01:58,560
Speaker 3: The biggest thing that we did with the tax reform package.

38
00:01:59,400 --> 00:02:02,160
Speaker 3: Some people are seeing that already, but you're really gonna

39
00:02:02,160 --> 00:02:04,720
Speaker 3: feel it when you get to April fifteenth next year

40
00:02:04,760 --> 00:02:07,600
Speaker 3: and you see, wow, okay, big returns and a lot

41
00:02:07,640 --> 00:02:09,920
Speaker 3: of people are just in the coming year going to

42
00:02:09,919 --> 00:02:13,040
Speaker 3: start seeing their withholdings changed so they have more take

43
00:02:13,080 --> 00:02:15,880
Speaker 3: home pay. To be able to drive our economy, and

44
00:02:15,919 --> 00:02:18,480
Speaker 3: I think that's really going to be a strong year ahead.

45
00:02:19,040 --> 00:02:22,000
Speaker 3: President Trump really teed that up nicely, and I think

46
00:02:22,000 --> 00:02:24,640
Speaker 3: he baited the whole country and the media into covering

47
00:02:24,639 --> 00:02:26,400
Speaker 3: it too. They all thought he was going to talk

48
00:02:26,400 --> 00:02:29,280
Speaker 3: about Venezuela, and he basically gave a here's what we

49
00:02:29,360 --> 00:02:31,320
Speaker 3: got done so far, but wait, there's more coming.

50
00:02:31,919 --> 00:02:34,840
Speaker 1: I have a sense Tony Bender tells me this. I

51
00:02:34,880 --> 00:02:37,480
Speaker 1: think at times he has liberal leanings that they're kind

52
00:02:37,480 --> 00:02:40,400
Speaker 1: of rooting against the country. They don't want the inflation

53
00:02:40,520 --> 00:02:42,919
Speaker 1: number to go down. When the number came out this morning,

54
00:02:42,919 --> 00:02:45,960
Speaker 1: I watch MSNBC MS NOW so you don't have to,

55
00:02:46,760 --> 00:02:49,600
Speaker 1: and the coverage was not about the number three point

56
00:02:49,680 --> 00:02:52,920
Speaker 1: zero to two point seven percent inflation. The number was about, well,

57
00:02:52,919 --> 00:02:56,679
Speaker 1: coffee's up seventeen percent, cars are up four percent, meat

58
00:02:56,800 --> 00:02:59,359
Speaker 1: is up fourteen percent, as like saying, well, my fingers

59
00:02:59,360 --> 00:03:02,240
Speaker 1: and arms way a lot, but my body's in good shape.

60
00:03:02,360 --> 00:03:04,880
Speaker 1: And so they want to downplay the number to say,

61
00:03:04,880 --> 00:03:07,320
Speaker 1: you know what, well, and can you trust the number?

62
00:03:07,480 --> 00:03:10,120
Speaker 1: Trump's in charge of the numbers. Can you trust the number?

63
00:03:10,200 --> 00:03:13,040
Speaker 1: And after Trump mcgasoline maybe down to a dollar fifty

64
00:03:13,040 --> 00:03:15,959
Speaker 1: a gallon and might be ninety nine cents again, which

65
00:03:16,000 --> 00:03:18,919
Speaker 1: it was when I was a kid. But nonetheless, things

66
00:03:18,919 --> 00:03:21,959
Speaker 1: are terrible, things are awful. The economies in free fall.

67
00:03:22,160 --> 00:03:24,360
Speaker 1: Tariffs are going to be overruled by the Outh Supreme Court.

68
00:03:24,480 --> 00:03:26,920
Speaker 1: The border's going to get wide open. Venezuela is going

69
00:03:26,960 --> 00:03:29,720
Speaker 1: to attack Miami, Florida. And I'm watching this, I'm going,

70
00:03:29,800 --> 00:03:33,120
Speaker 1: what are you saying. Do you think that Democrats under

71
00:03:33,120 --> 00:03:35,600
Speaker 1: Trump want America to succeed or fail?

72
00:03:37,320 --> 00:03:39,760
Speaker 3: Yeah, they're rooting for failure and they're looking for issues.

73
00:03:39,800 --> 00:03:42,640
Speaker 3: I mean, look, the House of Representatives just yesterday we

74
00:03:42,720 --> 00:03:46,400
Speaker 3: passed it to start on healthcare reform. Not more free

75
00:03:46,400 --> 00:03:51,080
Speaker 3: stuff for more people, not COVID era subsidies, real reforms

76
00:03:51,120 --> 00:03:55,520
Speaker 3: for all all Americans, lowering health care costs, giving more

77
00:03:55,520 --> 00:03:57,200
Speaker 3: options to people with health care.

78
00:03:57,920 --> 00:03:58,560
Speaker 2: It's a start.

79
00:03:58,640 --> 00:04:01,000
Speaker 3: I want there to be more reformed on our overall

80
00:04:01,040 --> 00:04:04,000
Speaker 3: healthcare market. But we passed that on the floor of

81
00:04:04,000 --> 00:04:07,400
Speaker 3: the House. No Democrats joined joined us in passing that,

82
00:04:07,840 --> 00:04:10,600
Speaker 3: and why because they want the issue and what they're

83
00:04:10,640 --> 00:04:14,200
Speaker 3: talking about with this COVID subsidy thing is really hiding

84
00:04:14,240 --> 00:04:17,600
Speaker 3: the fact that Obamacare failed to make healthcare more affordable,

85
00:04:18,120 --> 00:04:21,159
Speaker 3: and even the subsidies that they're fighting for, these aren't

86
00:04:21,160 --> 00:04:24,120
Speaker 3: subsidies for regular Obamacare people that have them. These are

87
00:04:24,320 --> 00:04:28,039
Speaker 3: bonus subsidies essentially for affluent people that don't even go

88
00:04:28,080 --> 00:04:30,400
Speaker 3: to the people. They go to the insurance companies. They

89
00:04:30,520 --> 00:04:33,440
Speaker 3: clearly aren't working, and they want to They want to

90
00:04:33,480 --> 00:04:37,719
Speaker 3: hold that out there as their healthcare issue. And you

91
00:04:37,760 --> 00:04:39,480
Speaker 3: know why, because they want an issue. They don't want

92
00:04:39,520 --> 00:04:40,720
Speaker 3: to they don't want to solve the problem.

93
00:04:40,800 --> 00:04:42,760
Speaker 1: And the other thing is one of the best. If

94
00:04:42,800 --> 00:04:45,600
Speaker 1: you're in the military right now. You were in the military,

95
00:04:46,160 --> 00:04:48,119
Speaker 1: you went to Notre Dame, you went to West Point,

96
00:04:48,320 --> 00:04:51,080
Speaker 1: you've been a ranger. And if you're a product of

97
00:04:51,120 --> 00:04:53,560
Speaker 1: what's it called today, private or a corporal at the

98
00:04:53,560 --> 00:04:56,320
Speaker 1: bottom of the run, and here comes a check to

99
00:04:56,400 --> 00:04:59,680
Speaker 1: you for one thousand, seven hundred and seventy six dollars,

100
00:05:00,000 --> 00:05:02,480
Speaker 1: you know one in the media is covering that because

101
00:05:02,520 --> 00:05:06,440
Speaker 1: it is so good for service personnel, and it reflects

102
00:05:06,480 --> 00:05:08,280
Speaker 1: the idea that the tariffs are going to be used

103
00:05:08,320 --> 00:05:11,720
Speaker 1: for those purposes. If the US Supreme Court rules at

104
00:05:11,720 --> 00:05:14,800
Speaker 1: some point in the future that that's all illegal, and

105
00:05:14,839 --> 00:05:18,960
Speaker 1: now we owe hundreds of billions of dollars. Wouldn't that

106
00:05:19,000 --> 00:05:20,679
Speaker 1: wreck the economy.

107
00:05:21,480 --> 00:05:23,520
Speaker 3: It'd be a really bad idea for the court to

108
00:05:23,560 --> 00:05:28,479
Speaker 3: go back and kind of retroactively nullify, you know, the tariffs.

109
00:05:28,480 --> 00:05:31,120
Speaker 3: And I don't think they're going to do that personally.

110
00:05:31,160 --> 00:05:34,960
Speaker 3: But look, the goal with the tariffs has been to

111
00:05:35,160 --> 00:05:37,920
Speaker 3: force a negotiation that's been very effective.

112
00:05:37,960 --> 00:05:40,200
Speaker 2: We made progress. There's a lot left to do.

113
00:05:40,720 --> 00:05:43,279
Speaker 3: And you know, part of the reason why would we

114
00:05:43,360 --> 00:05:46,000
Speaker 3: teariff some of our allies and friends, well because they

115
00:05:46,000 --> 00:05:49,880
Speaker 3: took America for granted and they were all trying to

116
00:05:49,920 --> 00:05:53,080
Speaker 3: curry favor with China and at the expense of the

117
00:05:53,200 --> 00:05:56,560
Speaker 3: United States, they weren't helping confront China. China's been abusive

118
00:05:56,600 --> 00:05:59,880
Speaker 3: in their trade practices with everybody. And finally, even the

119
00:06:00,000 --> 00:06:02,320
Speaker 3: Europeans are there. Mark Carney up in Canada is the

120
00:06:02,320 --> 00:06:06,479
Speaker 3: most stubborn guy going maybe in Brazil. So there's still

121
00:06:06,480 --> 00:06:09,880
Speaker 3: some lingering tariffs on Canada and Brazil because their countries

122
00:06:09,920 --> 00:06:12,599
Speaker 3: aren't helping. But even the Germans, with the big German

123
00:06:12,640 --> 00:06:15,400
Speaker 3: auto industry said, look, okay, we get it, we need

124
00:06:15,400 --> 00:06:18,560
Speaker 3: the China market, but we are really seeing problems here

125
00:06:18,839 --> 00:06:21,520
Speaker 3: and they are starting to help confront China. And look,

126
00:06:21,560 --> 00:06:25,480
Speaker 3: we'd rather have a friendly trade relationship, the idea that

127
00:06:25,520 --> 00:06:28,559
Speaker 3: we trades better than we have conflict. But we can't

128
00:06:28,600 --> 00:06:31,279
Speaker 3: stay dependent upon China. And that's been a clear theme

129
00:06:31,320 --> 00:06:35,560
Speaker 3: of the president. That's a clear foreign policy initiative, and

130
00:06:35,600 --> 00:06:37,480
Speaker 3: in the way he's used it has been to forced

131
00:06:37,480 --> 00:06:40,520
Speaker 3: that that's the prerogative of the president, the commander in chief,

132
00:06:41,000 --> 00:06:43,280
Speaker 3: and I hope that the Supreme Court takes that into

133
00:06:43,279 --> 00:06:46,920
Speaker 3: account when they provide this decision. Yeah, there is revenue

134
00:06:46,920 --> 00:06:49,680
Speaker 3: there that comes from the tariffs, and Okay, Congress at

135
00:06:49,720 --> 00:06:52,040
Speaker 3: some point, hopefully we'll walk those in and create some

136
00:06:52,080 --> 00:06:53,520
Speaker 3: certainty around this.

137
00:06:53,680 --> 00:06:54,719
Speaker 2: And that's kind of the theme.

138
00:06:54,800 --> 00:06:57,240
Speaker 3: Like we passed some things through the House last year,

139
00:06:57,680 --> 00:06:59,440
Speaker 3: but in the year ahead, even some of the things

140
00:06:59,480 --> 00:07:02,599
Speaker 3: that we really want done our HR two three four

141
00:07:02,680 --> 00:07:05,680
Speaker 3: five bills, the Senate hasn't taken up. So we really

142
00:07:05,680 --> 00:07:08,159
Speaker 3: get to put pressure on the Senate to give us

143
00:07:08,200 --> 00:07:11,040
Speaker 3: a vote. Hopefully they'll all pass, but we got to

144
00:07:11,080 --> 00:07:13,800
Speaker 3: show the country, hey, we are on offense and there's

145
00:07:13,840 --> 00:07:15,680
Speaker 3: a reason why we can get all this done.

146
00:07:15,840 --> 00:07:16,040
Speaker 2: Well.

147
00:07:16,080 --> 00:07:18,840
Speaker 1: We also have massive fraud, waste and abuse. We talk

148
00:07:18,880 --> 00:07:21,040
Speaker 1: about it every cycle, we never do anything about it.

149
00:07:21,120 --> 00:07:24,280
Speaker 1: This time something is occurring. Ninety percent of the new

150
00:07:24,320 --> 00:07:28,080
Speaker 1: signups for Obamacare or bots or individuals that are simply

151
00:07:28,120 --> 00:07:31,920
Speaker 1: doing it with fictitious Social Security numbers, and huge amounts

152
00:07:31,960 --> 00:07:34,600
Speaker 1: of moneys are going to individuals and so called clinics

153
00:07:34,640 --> 00:07:38,640
Speaker 1: all over America that don't exist. Same thing with Social Security.

154
00:07:38,640 --> 00:07:42,040
Speaker 1: There's about one hundred billion dollars a year in Social

155
00:07:42,080 --> 00:07:44,640
Speaker 1: Security does waste, fraud and abuse. When you can talk

156
00:07:44,680 --> 00:07:48,360
Speaker 1: about SNOP benefits, about half the SNOP benefits are bots,

157
00:07:48,360 --> 00:07:50,920
Speaker 1: are illegals. And I'm reading this out of I read

158
00:07:51,000 --> 00:07:55,880
Speaker 1: Minneapolis newspapers. I'll try to read everything. Minnesota officials and prosecutors.

159
00:07:55,880 --> 00:07:59,760
Speaker 1: These are Minnesota state our warning, the State of Minnesota

160
00:08:00,040 --> 00:08:04,360
Speaker 1: auditor and treasurer. They're facing unpresidented fraud crisis and his

161
00:08:04,480 --> 00:08:08,440
Speaker 1: social service programs, with losses to Minnesota being about two

162
00:08:08,480 --> 00:08:11,120
Speaker 1: billion dollars. And by the way, the states paid ten

163
00:08:11,160 --> 00:08:13,960
Speaker 1: to fifteen percent of these costs. The Feds pay ninety

164
00:08:14,040 --> 00:08:16,920
Speaker 1: eighty to ninety percent of the cost So if Minnesota

165
00:08:17,000 --> 00:08:20,280
Speaker 1: lost two billion dollars, that means the federal taxpayers you

166
00:08:20,320 --> 00:08:23,559
Speaker 1: and I lost about twenty billion dollars in one state.

167
00:08:24,160 --> 00:08:26,840
Speaker 1: How do you respond to that the massive fraud, waste

168
00:08:26,880 --> 00:08:28,720
Speaker 1: and abuse in Minnesota. What do you say about that?

169
00:08:29,800 --> 00:08:32,120
Speaker 3: Well, look at who's leading the state, Tim Walls, right,

170
00:08:32,240 --> 00:08:34,640
Speaker 3: that's who Kamala Harris picked as her.

171
00:08:34,600 --> 00:08:35,720
Speaker 2: Vice president candidate.

172
00:08:36,120 --> 00:08:38,040
Speaker 3: You look at Gavin Newsom, who wants to be the

173
00:08:38,040 --> 00:08:41,120
Speaker 3: Democrat nominee. Look what he's done to California. That's what

174
00:08:41,160 --> 00:08:45,119
Speaker 3: these people want to do to our country. And tragically,

175
00:08:45,200 --> 00:08:48,400
Speaker 3: the one Democrat senator in the state of Minnesota who

176
00:08:48,520 --> 00:08:52,720
Speaker 3: voted to turn off free health care for illegals in

177
00:08:52,760 --> 00:08:55,880
Speaker 3: Minnesota was murdered. But you look at how deep is

178
00:08:55,920 --> 00:08:58,520
Speaker 3: the scandal in the corruption up there with this money,

179
00:08:59,280 --> 00:09:03,120
Speaker 3: No wonder people didn't want this exposed, and there has

180
00:09:03,200 --> 00:09:05,640
Speaker 3: to be accountability. And I think, look, this is hopefully

181
00:09:05,679 --> 00:09:08,640
Speaker 3: twenty twenty six will be the year that we finally

182
00:09:08,640 --> 00:09:11,439
Speaker 3: hear the answers of the most frequent question I've got

183
00:09:11,800 --> 00:09:14,560
Speaker 3: as a member of Congress. When is somebody going to jail?

184
00:09:14,960 --> 00:09:17,480
Speaker 3: They want the accountability for the people that are doing

185
00:09:17,520 --> 00:09:20,960
Speaker 3: this corruption. We keep having hearings and exposing the corruption,

186
00:09:21,559 --> 00:09:25,000
Speaker 3: but now, Pam Bondi, when is somebody going to jail?

187
00:09:25,400 --> 00:09:27,240
Speaker 3: And those prosecutions need to take place?

188
00:09:27,559 --> 00:09:30,120
Speaker 1: Well, every now and then I'm sure in Congress Warren Davidson,

189
00:09:30,120 --> 00:09:34,160
Speaker 1: you're running the elan omar. Her federal forms indicated six

190
00:09:34,240 --> 00:09:37,920
Speaker 1: years ago she was worth sixty thousand dollars. Her federal

191
00:09:38,000 --> 00:09:41,800
Speaker 1: forms now say she's worth thirty million, a Somali congressman

192
00:09:41,800 --> 00:09:44,960
Speaker 1: from Minnesota. Can you ask her how that happened when

193
00:09:44,960 --> 00:09:47,240
Speaker 1: you passed her in the hallway and the Rayburn office building?

194
00:09:47,240 --> 00:09:48,319
Speaker 1: Can you ask her that question?

195
00:09:49,720 --> 00:09:53,360
Speaker 3: Well, I am curious. I mean I hadn't heard that.

196
00:09:53,360 --> 00:09:56,880
Speaker 3: That is stunning. Maybe she was following Nancy Pelosi's stock

197
00:09:56,920 --> 00:10:00,120
Speaker 3: tips or something. But there's a lot of work there. Know,

198
00:10:00,200 --> 00:10:02,360
Speaker 3: we haven't even held ourselves to account on some of

199
00:10:02,360 --> 00:10:06,680
Speaker 3: those things with with reforms. But look, Alano Mark seems

200
00:10:06,760 --> 00:10:10,880
Speaker 3: very clear from public information that she committed immigration fraud.

201
00:10:11,200 --> 00:10:12,640
Speaker 2: She married brother no less.

202
00:10:12,640 --> 00:10:14,880
Speaker 1: I mean, who doesn't marry, who doesn't marry their brother,

203
00:10:15,040 --> 00:10:18,200
Speaker 1: who doesn't marry their sister? Married the married the brother

204
00:10:18,400 --> 00:10:21,200
Speaker 1: as a as a felony to get into the country,

205
00:10:21,280 --> 00:10:24,199
Speaker 1: get the brother into the country, and now they're both citizens.

206
00:10:24,240 --> 00:10:26,440
Speaker 1: Isn't that fraud? If you marry your brother or sister

207
00:10:26,679 --> 00:10:30,079
Speaker 1: to become a US citizen, it's.

208
00:10:29,920 --> 00:10:32,840
Speaker 3: A it's a criminal of House, and again, when is

209
00:10:32,840 --> 00:10:34,280
Speaker 3: somebody going to be held to account?

210
00:10:34,320 --> 00:10:36,120
Speaker 2: I mean, these kinds of things are out there in

211
00:10:36,160 --> 00:10:36,560
Speaker 2: the public.

212
00:10:36,600 --> 00:10:39,400
Speaker 3: I mean I still am in shock that there's never

213
00:10:39,440 --> 00:10:43,080
Speaker 3: been an accountability for the Clinton Foundation. So look, there are

214
00:10:43,120 --> 00:10:44,600
Speaker 3: a lot of these things that have been out there

215
00:10:44,640 --> 00:10:47,480
Speaker 3: for years, and I think, look, people, people don't talk

216
00:10:47,480 --> 00:10:51,840
Speaker 3: about them every day anymore because they've kind of given

217
00:10:51,920 --> 00:10:54,319
Speaker 3: up hope. And that's really it's a sad time. Dan

218
00:10:54,360 --> 00:10:58,040
Speaker 3: Bongino took a year away, came and served as deputy

219
00:10:58,040 --> 00:10:59,599
Speaker 3: director at the FBI. But I think a lot of

220
00:10:59,600 --> 00:11:02,240
Speaker 3: people are a little demoralized, like, man, it's m Bongino

221
00:11:02,320 --> 00:11:05,040
Speaker 3: can't get the reform at the FBI, what's it going

222
00:11:05,120 --> 00:11:05,600
Speaker 3: to take.

223
00:11:06,040 --> 00:11:09,120
Speaker 1: Well, I'm reading from this. This is Minnesota, which is

224
00:11:09,160 --> 00:11:13,199
Speaker 1: a blue state, Minneapolis of Blue City. Twenty one percent

225
00:11:13,679 --> 00:11:17,120
Speaker 1: of the country's states, which are all Democrats, don't want

226
00:11:17,160 --> 00:11:19,720
Speaker 1: to share any information with the FEDS. This says. While

227
00:11:19,760 --> 00:11:24,280
Speaker 1: investigating the scandal, Minnesota agents discovered that one suspected scammer

228
00:11:24,520 --> 00:11:26,640
Speaker 1: his name or her name, I'm not sure is Asha

229
00:11:26,960 --> 00:11:32,600
Speaker 1: farhan Asan defrauded the state's autism treatment program of roughly

230
00:11:32,679 --> 00:11:37,080
Speaker 1: fourteen million dollars. He built medicaid for fake therapy sessions,

231
00:11:37,400 --> 00:11:41,600
Speaker 1: used untrained staff, and paid paid parents fifteen hundred dollars

232
00:11:41,600 --> 00:11:44,000
Speaker 1: a month to keep their kids in the program when

233
00:11:44,040 --> 00:11:47,000
Speaker 1: they didn't have autism. And by the way, they've tracked

234
00:11:47,040 --> 00:11:51,840
Speaker 1: the money, they sent hundreds of thousands of dollars to Kenya, Nigeria,

235
00:11:51,960 --> 00:11:55,200
Speaker 1: and also to Somalia and also to El Kaeda and

236
00:11:55,240 --> 00:11:59,760
Speaker 1: al Shabab. So the federal taxpayer and the Minnesota part

237
00:11:59,840 --> 00:12:03,160
Speaker 1: is ten. So the federal taxpayer spend one hundred and

238
00:12:03,200 --> 00:12:06,760
Speaker 1: forty million dollars for fake billing that went to terrorist groups.

239
00:12:06,960 --> 00:12:09,280
Speaker 1: Tony Bender paid for that. And there's not more of

240
00:12:09,320 --> 00:12:10,640
Speaker 1: an outrage, Are you kidding me?

241
00:12:12,440 --> 00:12:13,360
Speaker 2: Yeah?

242
00:12:13,400 --> 00:12:15,880
Speaker 3: Look, we got to make twenty twenty six the Year

243
00:12:15,880 --> 00:12:19,760
Speaker 3: of accountability, and you know, a lot of things got done.

244
00:12:19,800 --> 00:12:21,600
Speaker 3: I think it's nice that President Trump came out there

245
00:12:21,640 --> 00:12:23,280
Speaker 3: and said, hey, don't forget, we got a lot of

246
00:12:23,280 --> 00:12:24,400
Speaker 3: great things done this year.

247
00:12:24,840 --> 00:12:26,400
Speaker 2: But he also pointed to the future.

248
00:12:26,520 --> 00:12:29,400
Speaker 3: And you know, my hope is that we do, in

249
00:12:29,440 --> 00:12:32,720
Speaker 3: fact make twenty twenty six the Year of accountability. And

250
00:12:33,200 --> 00:12:35,040
Speaker 3: you know part of that in Congress, we got our

251
00:12:35,080 --> 00:12:36,520
Speaker 3: work cut out for us. We got to hit the

252
00:12:36,559 --> 00:12:39,920
Speaker 3: January thirtieth deadline fund the government, and then there's really

253
00:12:39,920 --> 00:12:43,520
Speaker 3: no excuse if we don't hit October first funding deadline

254
00:12:43,640 --> 00:12:47,880
Speaker 3: with everything this year, So the part that we can control,

255
00:12:47,920 --> 00:12:50,320
Speaker 3: we just got to get after. But we do have

256
00:12:50,320 --> 00:12:53,040
Speaker 3: to put accountability on DJ. I mean, that is clearly

257
00:12:53,200 --> 00:12:54,320
Speaker 3: out of control and broken.

258
00:12:54,800 --> 00:12:59,160
Speaker 1: Lastly, January thirtieth is coming, my gosh, only five or

259
00:12:59,200 --> 00:13:02,199
Speaker 1: six weeks away. Are the Democrats going to shut down

260
00:13:02,240 --> 00:13:04,960
Speaker 1: the government again? That's what I'm hearing. They want to

261
00:13:04,960 --> 00:13:07,920
Speaker 1: shut down the government again. Is that conceivable?

262
00:13:09,559 --> 00:13:14,480
Speaker 3: Well, it's certainly conceivable. And look, I was here when

263
00:13:14,480 --> 00:13:17,680
Speaker 3: it happened last time and we didn't even change anything.

264
00:13:17,760 --> 00:13:21,840
Speaker 3: So we are close on some appropriations bills. Our appropriators

265
00:13:21,880 --> 00:13:23,560
Speaker 3: got all the bills through committee.

266
00:13:24,280 --> 00:13:26,559
Speaker 2: But again it's syncing up with the Senate and they

267
00:13:26,559 --> 00:13:28,080
Speaker 2: say they got the sixty vote rule.

268
00:13:28,080 --> 00:13:29,680
Speaker 3: When that kind of comes in, are they going to

269
00:13:29,679 --> 00:13:31,720
Speaker 3: break the full of buster or they're gonna do something different.

270
00:13:32,600 --> 00:13:34,560
Speaker 3: But the idea that we're going to just kind of

271
00:13:34,559 --> 00:13:37,240
Speaker 3: continue status quo. None of us campaigned on preserving the

272
00:13:37,240 --> 00:13:40,120
Speaker 3: status quo. We have to pass our priorities with a

273
00:13:40,120 --> 00:13:42,920
Speaker 3: funding bill, and okay, we need some Democrat votes in

274
00:13:42,920 --> 00:13:46,800
Speaker 3: the Senate to get it. They can't just continue to obstruct, obstruct, obstruct.

275
00:13:47,840 --> 00:13:49,840
Speaker 3: I know twenty twenty six is an election.

276
00:13:49,640 --> 00:13:50,319
Speaker 2: Year, but we do.

277
00:13:50,880 --> 00:13:52,520
Speaker 3: Look, we need to take care of the country and

278
00:13:52,559 --> 00:13:54,880
Speaker 3: come together and pass it in the appropriations bills as

279
00:13:54,920 --> 00:13:55,319
Speaker 3: part of that.

280
00:13:55,360 --> 00:13:59,199
Speaker 1: I know, you run on the House floor at two o'clock,

281
00:13:59,240 --> 00:14:01,760
Speaker 1: according to Sea and then they're never wrong about two

282
00:14:01,800 --> 00:14:04,440
Speaker 1: to two thirty. You're going to be voting on extending

283
00:14:04,800 --> 00:14:09,240
Speaker 1: the Obamacare COVID subsidies for three years in about two hours.

284
00:14:09,240 --> 00:14:10,280
Speaker 1: How's that going to turn out?

285
00:14:12,160 --> 00:14:13,920
Speaker 2: Well? Sadly, it might pass the House.

286
00:14:13,920 --> 00:14:16,439
Speaker 3: I mean we had four Look, part of the reason

287
00:14:16,520 --> 00:14:19,560
Speaker 3: that the Speaker Johnson kept the House out of session

288
00:14:20,640 --> 00:14:23,400
Speaker 3: was to keep pressure on Democrats when they shut down

289
00:14:23,440 --> 00:14:27,080
Speaker 3: the government so that we could just reopen the government

290
00:14:27,160 --> 00:14:30,240
Speaker 3: and not cave to their one and a half trillion

291
00:14:30,280 --> 00:14:34,160
Speaker 3: dollar list of demands. Now they're not caving to everything,

292
00:14:34,200 --> 00:14:37,520
Speaker 3: but one of the core ones was plus an up Obamacare.

293
00:14:37,800 --> 00:14:40,800
Speaker 3: Because Obamacare is failing, they want to pump more cash

294
00:14:40,840 --> 00:14:44,720
Speaker 3: into it. And this is a COVID era program. Democrats

295
00:14:44,760 --> 00:14:47,720
Speaker 3: set the expiration date and now they're looking for Republican

296
00:14:47,800 --> 00:14:51,200
Speaker 3: votes to help save it. And unfortunately, four of my

297
00:14:51,280 --> 00:14:54,400
Speaker 3: colleagues have pledged to join that fight, maybe more when

298
00:14:54,400 --> 00:14:54,840
Speaker 3: they call the.

299
00:14:54,880 --> 00:14:57,360
Speaker 2: Votes, will join it so it might pass the House.

300
00:14:57,920 --> 00:14:59,600
Speaker 3: They called the votes in the Senate on the same

301
00:14:59,640 --> 00:15:01,520
Speaker 3: plan and Democrats voted for it.

302
00:15:01,520 --> 00:15:04,320
Speaker 2: It did not pass the Senate, so.

303
00:15:04,400 --> 00:15:07,480
Speaker 3: Hopefully it'll go nowhere at the end of the day

304
00:15:07,480 --> 00:15:09,800
Speaker 3: because we've got to pass the House and Senate. I

305
00:15:09,880 --> 00:15:11,760
Speaker 3: doubt President Trump would sign it if it made it

306
00:15:11,800 --> 00:15:14,480
Speaker 3: to his desk either, but nevertheless, they're going to force

307
00:15:14,520 --> 00:15:15,040
Speaker 3: a vote on it.

308
00:15:15,240 --> 00:15:18,600
Speaker 1: Let's get more money to this, to the Minnesota fraud programs.

309
00:15:18,880 --> 00:15:21,480
Speaker 1: Even Minnesota officials were saying, we can't live like this.

310
00:15:21,760 --> 00:15:24,800
Speaker 1: One program was supposed to cost fourteen million dollars and

311
00:15:24,880 --> 00:15:27,560
Speaker 1: one year, a jump from fourteen million to four hundred

312
00:15:27,600 --> 00:15:31,080

Speaker 1: paid for only by the Minnesota tax payers. And that

314
00:15:34,280 --> 00:15:36,920
